* BarbarianTride: According to Cancer, the Vladinghams behind the Lucrenian Incident are not the legendary, upstanding war heroes today makes them out to be. Rather, they were ruthless savages that made wanton destruction an art form and did acts such as dismembering Cancer, burning said limb, and killing her mother behind her very eyes.

* PlayingWithFire: The Vladingham specialty, and it is named “Soul Blaze.”

to:

* PlayingWithFire: The Vladingham specialty, and it is named “Soul Blaze.” For simplicity's sake, it encompasses the following tropes:
** FauxFlame: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Soul Blaze demonstrates a few properties atypical of actual fire. As long as Soul Blaze remains active on a person's body, not even water can extinguish it. This changes as soon as the flames leave the Vladingham's body, and they suddenly become just like regular fire.
** HeartIsAnAwesomePower: To oversimplify the mechanics behind Soul Blaze, it is basically resonate with nature using your soul. Now you can manipulate blue or bluish fire to your heart's content.
** InHarmonyWithNature: Everything in nature emits a wavelength no matter how small it may be. Through a special wavelength named the Creation Wavelength, Vladinghams resonate with the ambient environment and the resulting phenomenon manifests as Soul Blaze.
** IncendiaryExponent: A Vladingham can led Soul Blaze to its partner and tack on fire to normal attacks to increase their effect.
** KillItWithFire: The ability to combust and burn enemies is seen in higher-level techniques.
** RequiredSecondaryPower: It is completely impossible for a Vladingham to harm him or herself with their own flames, including items she or he possesses on hand. This prevents things like their clothing and whatnot are burning every time Soul Blaze kicks in. Also, as mentioned in Faux Flame, water cannot dowse Soul Blaze if the flames remain idle of his or her body.
** SuperEmpowering: To keep the Creation Wavelength in circulation, a non-Vladingham can gain his or her own Soul blaze if she or she proves compatible with a confirmed Vladingham's Creation Wavelength. The next step is for a Vladingham, an older and more experienced one, to help the non-Vladingham unlock their own Soul Blaze through special training. A more advanced form is called "Quorum" where a Vladingham sacrifices use of his or her Soul Blaze to strengthen another's.
** TechnicolorFire: Typically, a Vladingham’s Soul Blaze is colored a form of purplish-blue or blue.

The Vladingham Family is a predominantly Russian clan of Meisters and Demon Weapons. They are a Legacy Family, families or clans that have permanently impacted the Academy during its long and rich history, and the Vladinghams in particular are considered one of the five most influential. Their main claim to fame was winning many critical battles in the long war against the Witch Society.

The Vladingham Family is associated with a little town – Rozniak, Russia – where which they even have a private village in the middle of the Raksha Mountain Range, accessible through a bridge over the Raksha River. An annual event, the Gathering Day, is held in Rozniak every February 2nd. Vladinghams from all over the world flock to Rozniak for a sort of mass reunion where friends and families mingle. It is also a day to celebrate the achievements of graduates—from the DWMA or otherwise.

Unfortunately, February 2nd also marks the tragic end of the Vladingham Family. Two years prior to the beginning of ''Soul Eater: Troubled Souls'', Cancer Lucrenian succeeds in the premeditated genocide of the Vladinghams, the ''Vladingham Family Massacre'', for presently unclear reasons. One boy, Caius, is the last scion of this Legacy Family.

Their most well-known characteristic is the Soul Blaze, an innate ability that allows them to resonate with the environment and produce wavelength flames as a result for a variety of purposes.

Information on this page is gathered from all three mediums (''Zeta'', ''Saeculum'', and ''Troubled Souls'') as well as any supplemental material. However, do note that some characters on this page have a character page in Soul Eater Zeta.

[[folder: General]]
* BadassFamily: Being branded as a top Legacy Family is qualification enough. In addition, it is unspoken tradition for Weapons and Meisters to become Three-Stars before age 21, and they earned their Legacy Family title through winning key battles against Witches.
* BladeOnAStick: They seem to have a preference for polearms. Rukia is a naginata, Chloe is a staff, Caius uses a lance, Alexandria is a voulge, Galina uses a flag, and Alexei uses a ji. Just a few examples.
* ColorMotifs: [[BlueIsHeroic Blue]]. With the occasional red and purple.
* InHarmonyWithNature: Soul Blaze works by resonating with the environment around a Vladingham and the manifestation of this phenomenon are the distinct blue or purplish-blue wavelength flames that come out of their bodies.

* PlayingWithFire: The Vladingham specialty, and it is named “Soul Blaze.”
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Deaths, to be exact, but if the Vladingham Massacre never happened, so wouldn’t have ''Soul Eater: Troubled Souls''.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Downplayed. They are skilled and love to celebrate their achievements (Three-Star tradition and the Gathering Day, anyone?), but the Vladingham Family as we know it are too cultured and respectable.

!Amagai’s Household
[[folder: Family In General]]
* BadassFamily: Yes, a Badass Family within a Badass Family. Caius is the one of the main protagonists of ''Troubled Souls'', as is Amagai in ''Soul Eater Zeta'', Katrina is… [[TheAce Katrina]], and it is obvious Remus and Phyllis have had their own fulfilling adventures to justify their credentials. Rukia, Chloe, and Frederick get the same treatment by being partners to three of the aforementioned.
* SiblingYinYang: Of the FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling variety. Caius and Chloe are scholarly ones ready to do their work while Phyllis and Remus are the more rambunctious ones.

-----

-----
* AwesomeMcCoolname: ‘Galina’ already sounds beautiful and rolls off the tongue, but then the author had to add the exotic-sounding ‘Lufaine.’
