* DragonsAreDivine: She is part of the asuran Indrath Clan who are not only PhysicalGods but the rulers of the asuran race proper.

* GenerationXerox: Like her mother, Sylvie is selfless and caring unlike the rest of her kind, to the point that she follows in her mother's footsteps by [[spoiler:performing a HeroicSacrifice to save Arthur from Cadell. After her resurrection, she recognizes that both sides of the DivineConflict are equally as bad and so seeks to strengthen Arthur's position to allow him to overcome both Kezess and Agrona]].

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She sacrificed her physical body to save Arthur from dying after his battle against Nico and Cadell at the end of Volume 7. {{Subverted}} in the following volume as it is revealed she turned back into an egg, and at the end of Volume 10 she returns again after Arthur is able to revive her thanks to Aldir sacrificing his mana reserves]].
* HidingYourHeritage: Variant. She hides her true form as a dragon to prevent unwanted attention from coming her and Arthur's way. Eventually, after she and Arthur return from Epheotus, she no longer hides her true nature as everyone around her knows of it.

* PatchworkKids: As a dragon[[spoiler:/basilisk]] hybrid, Sylvie inherited her white-gold hair and her true form as a dragon from her mother Sylvia and [[spoiler:her black scales and attire, facial features in human form, and horns from her father Agrona]].

* PetAsPresent: He was given to the Leywins by Windsom as a parting gift before he escorted Arthur to Epheotus. Reynolds originally wanted to bond with him so that he could have his own BeastOfBattle, but Eleanor ended up bonding with him instead.
* {{Teleportation}}: As a guardian beast, Boo able to teleport to Eleanor if he senses her life is in danger. A RunningGag has Boo randomly teleport to Eleanor's side in the most inopportune of moments, which takes everyone around her by surprise by the bear's sudden appearance.

* DoorstepBaby: He was left as a baby at the doorstep of Rahdeas, who would go on to raise him.

* HonoraryUncle: Elijah views Reynolds and Alice as his uncle and aunt after Arthur takes him to live with his family.

* TraumaCongaLine: Just like Arthur, the Leywins get run through absolute hell during the WarArc and onward. [[spoiler:After Arthur's timely return from Epheotus, they hear word that their old comrade Adam got killed by mana beasts in the same dungeon Arthur had just been to, causing them to rejoin the Twin Horns and leaving Eleanor behind in the Council Castle. Then Reynolds gets killed during the attack on the Wall, traumatizing the family. And then Arthur and Sylvie are presumed dead following another catastrophic battle, with Alice and Eleanor being forced into hiding from the victorious Alacryans. Then when Kezess sends Taci to purge the Dicathian resistance, he recognizes Alice and Eleanor as Arthur's family and was about to kill them without any remorse just out of spite for Arthur when the latter finally returns home from Alacrya to put the asura down]].

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Sylvie has golden eyes, a sign of her divine status. Her eye color is uniquely her own exclusive trait rather than being inherited from either side of her family.

* HonoraryUncle: He views Arthur's parents as well as the Helsteas as his uncles and aunts.

* LonersAreFreaks: He spent much of his childhood in Darv to himself for despite being raised by the dwarves, Elijah never felt that he truly fitted in with the local populace. Not helping matters were his deviant abilities. His situation does improve upon moving to Xyrus.

* {{Expy}}: Given the novel's inspiration from ''Literature/MushokuTensei'', Reynolds is based on Paul Greyrat.

* WackyParentSeriousChild: Lilia has a serious personality which contrasts with her father Vincent's eccentricities. Oftentimes she gets embarrassed by her father's antics (especially whenever he is under the influence).

* {{Imprinting}}: When she first hatched, she mistook Arthur for her mother. After Arthur corrects her, she begins addressing him as her father instead.

** At the start of Volume 8, [[spoiler:Arthur learns from Sylvia's second message that Agrona was her former lover and thus Sylvie's father. Sylvie only finds out about this offscreen, as during the end of Volume 10 as her soul is wresting the future Arthur's soul away from Agrona she briefly acknowledges that Agrona was her biological father]].

* NatureVersusNurture: In this case, Nurture. Thanks to being raised by Arthur, [[spoiler:Sylvie turned out to be benevolent and selfless unlike either side of her family, let alone the rest of the asuras. Arthur even speculates that Sylvia intentionally gave the egg that contained the unborn Sylvie to him so that she could be raised away from the asuras and their influence]].

* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Sylvie has golden eyes, a sign of her divine status.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Despite having not having undergone the [[spoiler:Alacryan bestowal system before and never having received a mark, Eleanor ends up getting a regalia (the highest mark possible) bestowed upon her, on top of also getting her mana core pushed into the light yellow stage as well. Lyra even remarks that what just happened to Eleanor would be normally impossible]].

* HealingHands: Like her mother Alice, Eleanor develops the ability to heal, an ability derived from their [[spoiler:djinn ancestry]].

** In Volume 4, she accompanies Arthur when he puts an end to the attack on Xyrus Academy, in the process revealing to everyone present her true dragon form. In this form, she scares all of the Radicals into submission while inspiring the rest of the student body. Arthur has her tend to the incapacitated Tessia while he finishes off Lucas.

--->'''Arthur:''' Wow Sylv. You gained weight...and height. And width

* ShapeShifterDefaultForm: At first, she poses as a black lizard-like mana beast to hide her true nature as a dragon. Then, after the incident in the Dire Tombs, she changes her default form into that of a white fox-like creature to avoid Lucas recognizing her. This remains her default form until the end of Volume 6 when [[spoiler:she finally unlocks her human form after the seal that was placed on her gets broken]].

* StrongerThanTheyLook: Appears no bigger than a cat, but is able to intimidate Grawder, a full size A-rank World Lion, and make him submit to her. After [[spoiler:unlocking her human form, she appears as a little girl but has grown in power thanks to her training under her grandparents during her stay in Epheotus]].

* WarriorPrincess: Being the daughter of Sylvia and thus the granddaughter of Kezess, Sylvie is effectively the princess of not just the Indrath Clan but the asuras as a whole. Notably, despite the treaty forbidding any direct participation from an asura, Sylvie is exempted from this rule due to being Arthur's bond and is allowed to engage in combat.

* WhiteSheep: [[spoiler:Sylvie is the sole good member of both the Indrath and Vritra Clans, thanks to being raised by Arthur away from both Kezess and Agrona. She is very empathetic to a degree unheard of in both clans.]]

* GuardianEntity: The aptly-named guardian beasts are bred by the Grandus Clan to act as guardians for important individuals. Boo is no exception.

* {{Teleportation}}: As a guardian beast, Boo able to teleport to Eleanor if he senses her life is in danger. A RunningGag has Boo randomly teleport to Eleanor's side in the most inopportune of moments, which takes everyone around her by surprise.

* TraumaCongaLine: Just like Arthur, the Leywins get run through absolute hell during the WarArc and onward. [[spoiler:After Arthur's timely return from Epheotus, they hear word that their old comrade Adam got killed by mana beasts in the same dungeon Arthur had just been to, causing them to rejoin the Twin Horns and leaving Eleanor behind in the Council castle. Then Reynolds gets killed during the attack on the Wall, traumatizing the family. And then Arthur and Sylvie are presumed dead following another catastrophic battle, with Alice and Eleanor being forced into hiding from the victorious Alacryans. Then when Kezess sends Taci to purge the Dicathian resistance, he recognizes Alice and Eleanor as Arthur's family and was about to kill them without any remorse just out of spite for Arthur when he finally returns home from Alacrya to put the asura down]].

* ComicalOverreacting: When Arthur tells his family about how he ended up getting hospitalized on his first day of school, Alice's face bears a vacant-stared shocked expression as she presumes Arthur burnt another student alive which would force the Leywins to move to Darv in the aftermath. She gets broken out of it when Director Goodsky comes into the infirmary with the Eraliths to clear up the misunderstanding.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Despite having not having undergone the [[spoiler:Alacryan bestowal system before and never having received a mark, Eleanor ends up getting a regalia (the highest mark possible) bestowed upon her, on top of also getting her mana core pushed into the light yellow stage as well]].

Arthur's bond, Sylvie is the daughter of Arthur's ParentalSubstitute, the dragon Sylvia, and in turn the granddaughter of Kezess, the ruler of the asuras. She was given to Arthur as an egg by her mother shortly before she sacrificed herself to save him from capture from the Scythe Cadell Vritra. Sylvie would hatch three years later and would go on to accompany Arthur onto his many adventures. Her bond to Arthur eventually draws the attention of the asuras, who summon the two of them to Epheotus to train for the impending DivineConflict.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: {{Averted}}. [[spoiler:After being resurrected, Sylvie ends up catching up extremely fast as to what has been happening to Arthur and what he has learned in her absence thanks to her telepathic bond with him. On top of that, she already got to experience his past life in its entirety]].

* ParentChildTeam: With her adoptive father Arthur, especially once Sylvie [[spoiler:assumes both human form and his surname over either of her biological parents. Sure enough, shortly after her resurrection Sylvie accompanies her adoptive father and his party when they enter the Relictombs to relieve Seris's rebellion]].

* SleepCute: In her smaller forms, Sylvie is prone to sleeping in a rather innocent fashion, oftentimes in the company of her loved ones. While Arthur is the most prominent example, Sylvie is also prone to doing this with Eleanor.

%% WeWillMeetAgain: [[spoiler:Her very last words to Arthur before sacrificing herself to spirit him away from Nico and Cadell. Eventually, he does succeed in bringing her back]].
%%-->'''Sylvie:''' [[spoiler:Try to keep yourself while I'm gone, okay? Until we meet again...]]

* CoolBigSis: [[spoiler:After Sylvie gains the ability to assume human form, Eleanor begins styling herself as Sylvie's big sister and wants to take her in as her own protégé. Though given that Sylvie perceives Arthur as her father, Eleanor would actually be her aunt instead]].

* ExactEavesdropping: She eavesdrops on a very private conversation between [[spoiler:Virion and Windsom (whom she recognizes from his voice) revealing the asuras' role in destroying Elenoir and their ensuing deception of it to the Dicathians, their offer of new [[ArtifactOfPower Artifacts of Power]] to the resistance, and Tessia being possessed by the Legacy; while Eleanor had witnessed her possession in person, she was LockedOutOfTheLoop as to what was actually happening until now. The conversation abruptly ends when Windsom notices her eavesdropping and confronts her. However, her eavesdropping is what gets Feyrith and Albold to recruit her into their plan to expose the asuras' deception]].

* NextTierPowerUp: Eleanor ends up receiving a [[spoiler:a regalia, the highest tier of mark in the Alacryan mana system. It also pushes her core into the light yellow stage.
* NonElemental: A rarity among mages, Eleanor is a uniquely non-elemental caster as the mana she uses for her spells is entirely pure.

* SuperpowerLottery: {{Downplayed}} compared to other examples of this trope in the novel. Because she is Arthur's sister, Eleanor gets a unique array of powers due to her connection to him that no other mage could ever hope to get. [[spoiler:From her mother Alice, she inherited the unique magic of the djinn which she eventually does awaken. Then after her brother leaves for Epheotus, she bonds with a guardian beast given to her family by Windsom and acquires her own beast will. Following her brother's return from Alacrya and reconquest of their homeland, she acquires an Alacryan regalia (which was BeyondTheImpossible) that pushes her core into the light yellow stage and allows her to perform mana transfer. And for the cherry on top, she gets to wield Silverlight, the EmpathicWeapon once wielded by the asuran general Aldir whom had passed it on to Arthur before his HeroicSacrifice]].
* SupportPartyMember: After [[spoiler:acquiring her regalia, Eleanor is able to function in this fashion as her ability to perform mana transfer not only allows her to ManaDrain her opponents but use her stored mana to refuel her allies' mana reserves]].

* BadassAdorable: Sylvie might look cute in almost all of her forms, but as an asura ([[spoiler:and the sole living descendant of the resident God and Satan analogues]]), she is one of the most powerful individuals in the setting.

* IsThatCuteKidYours: After [[spoiler:Sylvie assumes her human form for the first time, Eleanor mistakes her for Arthur and Tessia's daughter before her brother clears up her identity. Later on after being resurrected, it gets even more complicated as Arthur now has the same hair and eye colors as Sylvie thanks to her HeroicSacrifice to restore his body, leading some to mistake her for his biological daughter]].

* DarkIsNotEvil: Elijah usually prefers to wear all black outfits, but is one of the good guys. [[spoiler:Later {{Subverted}} with the reveal of his true identity allegiance, and motivations]].

* MyGreatestFailure: In the past, the Twin Horns got ambushed by stingers and while Alice was able to mend their wounds, the party had to get treated for poison afterwards. While most of the party recovered, one member, Lensa, ended up losing her mana core as Alice closing her wounds prevented the doctor from treating Lensa's core. As a result, Lensa ended up being DrivenToSuicide. The fact that she had not only robbed Lensa of her only joy in life but indirectly caused her death left a considerable scar on Alice, being the the reason why she refuses to use her healing magic for anything more than minor wounds.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Despite having not having undergone the [[spoiler:Alacryan magic system before and never having received a mark, Eleanor ends up getting a regalia (the highest mark possible) bestowed upon her, on top of also getting her mana core pushed into the light yellow stage as well]].

* HealingHands: Like her mother Alice, Eleanor develops the ability to heal, an ability derived from their [[spoiler:djinn ancestry]].

* TookALevelInBadass: {{Downplayed}} compared to some of the other examples in the novel as it is more in terms of personality than power, but Lilia goes from being a shy little girl to a brave and determined woman who is willing to enter [[spoiler:a warzone between PhysicalGod[=s=] in order to rescue civilian survivors caught up in the fighting]].

Arthur's younger sister, Eleanor was born while Arthur was living in Elenoir.

** Eventually she becomes an example of the Precociously Talented Type. During [[spoiler:the mission to Elenoir, Eleanor is able to kill Bivran, a Retainer in training. After Arthur returns to Dicathen a year later, Eleanor TookALevelInBadass as she becomes a light yellow mage who unlocks her latent djinn magic and acquires both an Alacryan regalia and an asuran EmpathicWeapon, on top of already having an asuran-granted bond from before the war started that she was able to bond with on her own]].

* SuperpowerLottery: {{Downplayed}} compared to other examples of this trope in the novel. Because she is Arthur's sister, Eleanor gets a unique array of powers due to her connection to him that no other mage could ever hope to get. [[spoiler:From her mother Alice, she inherited the unique magic of the djinn which she eventually does awaken. Then after her brother leaves for Epheotus, she bonds with a guardian beast given to her family by Windsom and acquires her own beast will.

And for the cherry on top, she gets to wield Silverlight, the EmpathicWeapon once wielded by the asuran general Aldir whom had passed it on to Arthur before his HeroicSacrifice]].
* TookALevelInBadass: By Volume 11, Eleanor [[spoiler:unlocks her latent djinn magic thanks to Rinia and later Arthur's tutelage, acquires an Alacryan regalia and gets tutored by Lyra on how to use it, and is chosen by the asuran EmpathicWeapon Silverlight following the death of Aldir]].

* HeroicBSOD: Suffers it multiple times. [[spoiler: First after Arthur's reincarnation is revealed, then after Reynolds's death, then after Arthur's apparent death even though later Arthur returns]].

* TimeMaster: [[spoiler:After her HeroicSacrifice, Sylvie became one of these as her discipline of aether switched from vivum to aevum. In combat, she is able to slow time to allow Arthur to land fatal blows on his opponents. She is capable of manipulating time to such a degree she became a NonLinearCharacter]].

* CasanovaWannabe: As he is envious of how Arthur seems to get the attention of the all the girls, especially royalty like Tessia and Kathyln, Elijah tries to get girls to notice him only to fail in an embarrassing fashion. Arthur thinks he can do much better.

* UnskilledButStrong: Arthur notes that Elijah is rather powerful for an earth mage his age, but his lack of control over his power hampers him significantly. He feels glad that Elijah is his friend as when he matures and becomes more powerful Elijah could become frighteningly dangerous in terms of his ability to manipulate earth and metal. [[spoiler:Little could Arthur know that such a possibility would eventually become a reality, though not in the way he expected]].

* ActionDad: He was an adventurer before he settled down with Alice.

While Alice has yet to use hers, Eleanor does end up using hers [[spoiler:to escape the destruction of Elenoir by Aldir using the World Eater technique]].

* {{Expy}}: Given the novel's inspiration from ''[[Literature/MushokuTensei]]'', Eleanor is based on Norn Greyrat.

* GenocideSurvivor: She learns from Rinia [[spoiler:following Arthur's disappearance that she and their family are descendants of the djinn through their mother Alice. In the distant past, the djinn were the victims of a genocide perpetrated by the Indrath Clan when they refused to share their knowledge of aether with them.

-->'''Lilia''': Was it worth it? Have you even found what you wanted?

* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:Despite putting a front of stoicism after the end of the war as part of LaResistance, reuniting with Arthur when he retakes Xyrus causes her to break down in tears as she embraces him]].
-->'''Lilia:''' So much for being [[spoiler:a stoic leader of the rebellion. But I suppose that is more Commander Glory's thing, anyway]].

-->'''[[spoiler:Anakasha]]''': So, you have not chosen your death yet. I am...almost impressed.

However, her eavesdropping is what gets Feyrith and Albold to recruit her into exposing the asuras' deception]].

* CallingParentsByTheirName: After learning of her true heritage and staying with her grandparents for two years, Sylvie stops calling Arthur and Tessia as her Papa and Mama and starts referring to them by their given names for the most part.

* TitleDrop: [[spoiler:At the end of Volume 10, when she is witnessing Agrona claiming the soul of Arthur's past self King Grey, Sylvie reaction has her mention not only the title of the chapter, but of the series itself]].

* ActionDad: He was an adventurer before he settled down with Alice.

However, Paul is a ''very'' flawed man who exhibits a lot of vices.

More jarringly, he exhibits the same sexual proclivities that his son has to a far worse extent. In the past, he forced himself onto the woman who would become his maid and later on cheats on his wife with her.

* RetiredBadass: As the former leader of the Twin Horns, Reynolds was once a famous adventurer and skilled combatant before he settled down in the countryside with Alice. However, he and his wife are drawn out of retirement following [[spoiler:Adam's death]], which causes them to rejoin the Twin Horns in time for the Alacryan invasion.

Arthur's father.

Arthur's mother.

An old friend of Reynolds, Vincent is one of the most prolific merchants in Sapin. He gives the Leywin Family a place to stay at in Xyrus in return for Reynolds joining his security force.

* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler:To Regis. Both are companions of asuran origin and are bonded to Arthur, but while Sylvie is serious (though she used to be more innocent prior to the TraumaCongaLine), Regis is snarky and comedic. Sylvie acts as Arthur's MoralityPet and encourages his compassionate side, while Regis reinforces his serious side including his strengths but also his worst aspects]].

Despite being a human, Elijah was raised among the dwarves since his infancy and so grew to identify more with them than his race at first, on top of having briefly wondered if he was a half-dwarf given how much he stood out. He stands up against any instances of racism directed towards dwarves, which causes some racist humans to look down on him. However, he does settle into life in Xyrus once Arthur takes him there, though he maintains the same sympathy to the race that raised him.

* SecretKeeper: Thanks to witnessing the true power of both Arthur and Sylvie while in the Dire Tombs, Elijah becomes privy to their secret. In turn, he elects to tell Arthur of his past, trusting his newfound best friend to keep his secret in turn.

* TakenForGranite: Arthur notes that if Elijah were to be come talented enough given his unusual aptitude towards earth magic, he could potentially turn humans to stone.

* StumblingInTheNewBody: [[spoiler:Upon turning into a human for the first time, Sylvie experiences considerable difficulty in terms of motor control as she is not used to bipedal locomotion as all of her previous forms had been quadrupedal. On top of that, Sylvie has a particularly difficult time as her thumbs, which she had also never had in any of her forms]].

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he is introduced during Arthur's examination, he ends up being exempt from having to take the exam on top of his reserved nature. This serves to establish how mysterious his origins are.

* FireForgedFriends: After the TotalPartyKill in the Dire Tombs and helping Arthur and Jasmine recover (on top of seeing Arthur's true powers), he and Arthur become best friends.

* HeritageDisconnect: PlayedWith. Despite being a human, Elijah was raised among the dwarves since his infancy and so grew to identify more with them than his race at first. He stands up against any instances of racism directed towards dwarves, which causes some racist humans to look down on him. However, he does settle into life in Xyrus once Arthur takes him there, though he maintains the same sympathy to the race that raised him.

* TheSocialite: Tabitha has a cultured and ostentatious lifestyle as the wife of one of the most prolific merchants in Sapin. Like her husband, she uses her social influence to introduce Arthur and his family to new opportunities.

* TwentyFourHourArmor: [[spoiler:When entering the Relictombs, Sylvie briefly has to wear her adoptive father's djinn armor due to being an asura whom the Relictombs are designed to repel. This arrangement does not last long as not only does Arthur reclaim the armor from her, but Seris's rebellion eventually abandons the Relictombs to seek asylum in Dicathen]].

* {{Telepathy}}: How she communicates with Arthur [[spoiler:before she can assume her human form]]. This mental bond with him is what allows her to catch up on any recent developments that happen, especially following [[spoiler:her resurrection in which she was LockedOutOfTheLoop for over a year. As Regis also has the same mental bon dwith Arthur, she is also able to communicate with him in the same way]].

* HonoraryUncle: He views Arthur's parents as his uncle and aunt.

* TimePassageBeard: His goatee grows out into a full beard in the two years Arthur spent training in Epheotus.
* UnclePennybags: While he is one of the richest men in Sapin, but is an affable individual.

* TokenHeroicOrc: [[spoiler:She, along with her mother Sylvia, genuinely cares about Arthur unlike the rest of the Indrath Clan who only treated Arthur with a begrudging tolerance at best and outright scorn at worst, on top of being responsible for committing genocide upon the djinn whom Arthur and his family are descended from. There is also the fact she is the daughter of Agrona himself, as he and his clan are the ones behind the whole DivineConflict and the ruination of Arthur's homeland of Dicathen. It helps that Arthur has been the one to raise her rather than either side of her biological family. To further emphasize this aspect of her, Sylvie is the ''only'' asura who never uses the term "lesser", when even other examples of this trope among the asuras such as Sylvia and Mordain use the term even if in a somewhat less prejudiced stance]].

* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler:To Regis. Both are of Asuran origin and are bonded to Arthur, but while Sylvie is serious (though she used to be more innocent prior to the TraumaCongaLine), Regis is snarky and comedic. Sylvie acts as Arthur's MoralityPet and encourages his compassionate side, while Regis reinforces his serious side including his strengths but also his worst aspects]].

* MorphicResonance: In all of her forms, she maintains the same distinct SupernaturalGoldEyes. In addition, [[spoiler:her human form's choice of attire in wearing black clothing is derived from her own black scales in dragon form]].

* AbhorrentAdmirer: {{Discussed}}. After learning that Arthur used to be ChildhoodFriends with Tessia, the intensely envious Elijah bemoans his own luck with girls as he describes an unattractive dwarf girl named Helgarth with whom Rahdeas had attempted to set up an ArrangedMarriage for him. Elijah describes her in a very unflattering manner, one that makes her look far less attractive than the other dwarf girls seen in the novel.

** The first time around occurs when Arthur returns to his family after spending three years in Elenoir with the Eraliths after he got separated from them following a bandit ambush, though Arthur had let them know much earlier that he survived thanks to Rinia letting him contact them.

* BeardOfSorrow: {{Subverted}}. After being separated from his son while on the way to Xyrus, Reynolds is next seen having grown stubble on his face out of grief. Even after Arthur reunites with his family, Reynolds ends up growing a full beard.

The daughter of Arthur's ParentalSubstitute, the dragon Sylvia, Sylvie's egg was given to Arthur by her mother shortly before she sacrificed herself to save him from capture from the Scythe Cadell Vritra. Sylvie would hatch three years later and become Arthur's bond, accompanying him onto his many adventures.

* TwentyFourHourArmor: [[spoiler:When entering the Relictombs, Sylvie has to wear her adoptive father's djinn armor due to being an asura whom the Relictombs are designed to repel. This arrangement does not last long as not only does Arthur reclaim the armor from her, but Seris's rebellion eventually abandons the Relictombs to seek asylum in Dicathen]].

* LoveableCoward: Has shades of this in that he does not like to fight at all. When Arthur intervenes to stop a group of racist human students from beating up a dwarf, Vincent gets cowered by his KillingIntent and lets him do as he please with them.

* MorphicResonance: In all of her forms, she maintains the same distinct SupernaturalGoldEyes.

* TheMedic: Her main deviant magic power is healing.

* MagicalMissileSpam: As a conjurer, Elijah's fighting style revolves around hitting his opponents with scores of earthen projectiles. Some of his spells include Earthen Spear, which conjures a rock spike, and Stone Barrage, which allows him to raise fragments of the earth from the ground and throw them at his enemies.

* FromTheMouthsOfBabes: After Arthur reunites with his family and thus meets Eleanor, he tells his dad that he is now at the light red stage which causes his father to yell "Holy shit!" in response. Eleanor, who at this point is a three-year old who does not know any better, immediately proceeds to repeat that word.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Her hand gets much of its skin burnt off by the Wraiths]].

** In Volume 11, [[spoiler:Arthur, Sylvie, and a host of dragons sent to accompany them arrive to deal with Perhata's squadron of Wraiths, in the process rescuing the Dicathian refugee caravan led by Lilia that they had taken captive as a HumanShield]].

* BioweaponBeast: His species is bred specifically by the Grandus Clan, the leaders of the titan race, to serve as guardians.

* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:Her hand gets much of

** In Volume 5, Arthur and Sylvie arrive at a mana beast-infested dungeon that Tessia and the Dicathian forces were about to attack and proceed to slaughter all of them. When Tessia opens the door, she finds Arthur sitting AtopAMountainOfCorpses, having dealt with the mana beasts in the dungeon for them.

** The end of Volume 10 [[spoiler:has Sylvie finally being resurrected a yea
