The [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni to his Blue]], her [[HotBlooded tactless and headstrong]] personality contrasts Kyril's [[TheStoic level-headed]] approach.

Nonetheless, she declares that he has earned her loyalty, because he would protect the people even if they were to hate him for it.
* NunTooHoly: Lily is a rare case where the elements of this trope are {{inverted}} as many ways as possible.

In spite of all of this, the redhead notably looks and acts like a nun. A decent, sincere person clad in white vestments, Lily upholds the moral standards of her NobleProfession while TheChurch decays, even after her [[CharacterDevelopment development]] into a GoodIsNotSoft NayTheist.

Several characters mention that Celestine is capable of impressive offensive magic (Olga suggesting Celestine to bombard the currently infested Rad with holy spells, Soren fearing that Celestine could simply blast him into oblivion without lifting a finger, etc.). However, not a single scene depicting Celestine in battle is ever shown in the story. Furthermore, the remastered version has Celestine's P.O.V. noting that she and Olga fought each other numerous times directly in the past, to the point where the two stopped taking the fields personally due to the destructiveness of their magics. Yet, the readers never see any sort of {{flashback}} about such events.

* RoyaltySuperpower: She rules her country as TheHighQueen with the ability to [[{{Seers}} see visions of the future]], a gift that has kept the lands safe for centuries. The reason is that she [[DivineRightOfKings received a favour from the Goddess Laurendau]], which allowed her to hold the title of [[GodEmperor Goddess]] [[GodInHumanForm Incarnate]].
* {{Seers}}: Celestine, as the [[GodInHumanForm reincarnation of the goddess Laurendau]], can see prophetic visions. While she is not {{omniscient}}, it is heavily implied that this power, along with her [[LongLived lifespan]] as an elf, allowed her to rule Eostia and keep the land safe for centuries. Alas, she could not foresee that the Black Dogs would [[MilitaryCoup plan to take over]].
* TerribleTicking: Happens to Celestine whenever she is in proximity to Kyril, due to her high Insight. The sound that only she can hear is described as a constant, maddening rumble, akin to the sound of thunder and waves crashing against the shore. When Kyril displays TranquilFury in Chapter 12 and 13 of the remastered version, the sound intensifies into a noice heard in the midst of a storm. Though she has not been driven mad by the sound, it does frighten her every time this happens.
Added DiffLines:
* PrincessClassic: Prim Fiorire is a teenage version. The basics are there: female, [[RoyalBlood royal]], and TheIngenue. Additional traits include being part of TheBeautifulElite that is [[TheAlliance the Seven Shields]], the [[LongHairIsFeminine long]] [[RoseHairedSweetie pink]] hair, the preference of [[ModestRoyalty simple]] clothing in either [[VirginInAWhiteDress white]] or [[PrincessesPreferPink pink]], and the [[CoolCrown tiara]]. Prim straddles the line between the traditional and modern take of this archetype. She's [[DelicateIsBeautiful delicate]], because she wasn't groomed to be a KnightInShiningArmor like her cousin Alicia. Nonetheless, she proves to be quite opinionated in the belief that [[NinetiesAntiHero the Hunter]] is [[HiddenDepths actually not a bad person]] and is able to contribute to Eostia's cause. As a bonus, the resident [[TheCynic cynic]] of the story (the Hunter) has never [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids mocked Prim for her idealism]]. Astonishing.
* RoseHairedSweetie: [[PurityPersonified A kind, polite, and gentle girl]] with wavy pink hair, Prim definitely qualifies. She is a WideEyedIdealist and the [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Girly Girl to her cousin Alicia's Tomboy]]. This pays off, seeing that in the remastered version, she is the first Shield to successfully earn Kyril's favour.
* SimpleYetOpulent: [[PrincessClassic Princess]] Prim Fiorire's white and pink dress is not extravagant, but finely made regardless. The work of the finest tailors of Feoh and Ur, it should cost a lot.

Added DiffLines:
* OfCorsetsSexy: Part of Olga's default outfit that covers her voluptuous body. One example of AdaptationalModesty in this fanfic, compared with her corset with the front and back parts missing as depicted in ''Kuroinu'' canon.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]. During the centuries-old war before the events of the main plot, Olga, the Dark Queen, did not start off like this -- she used to take the field personally and fight Celestine head on. The two stopped doing that since their magics were destroying the lands, and her goal is not [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum "world destruction"]]. The most Olga did was to smote Garan into a {{Mordor}} via BlackMagic in order to deter enemy armies. Meanwhile, her fortress is well fortified, and she could send raiding parties down the south. There's also how a presumably long time was used to raise Chloe, her surrogate daughter and would-be vassal.
* SatanicArchetype: Known as the Dark Queen, she is a [[{{Pride}} prideful]] LadyOfBlackMagic who starts a ForeverWar by rebelling against the [[CrystalDragonJesus Goddess Reborn]], is associated with [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and [[DarkIsEvil dark]], and [[IHaveManyNames is known by various titles]]. Later {{subverted}} as she is merely the DiscOneFinalBoss, her [[FantasticRacism motive]] for rebellion is portrayed in a sympathetic light, she gets a HeelFaceTurn, and her association with dark (dark elves) [[DarkIsNotEvil is not malicious]] in nature.
* StockLightNovelCalamityPrincess: Olga Discordia, Queen of the Dark Elves, resides in the [[SupervillainLair Black Fortress]] of [[{{Mordor}} Garan]] like a typical fantasy EvilOverlord. She's a prideful, talented LadyOfBlackMagic that can manipulate flames hotter than {{Hellfire}}, but her ColourMotif is associated with dark colours rather than the more common red, as evidenced by her midnight hair and [[AmbiguouslyBrown dusky]] skin. Fuelled with an intense [[ThePowerOfHate hatred]] of humanity, Olga rebelled against Celestine Lucross, the CrystalDragonJesus of Eostia, even waging war with the country for centuries, due to her {{wrath}} for the [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil enslavement]] of [[FantasticRacism her kind]]. Alas, the intervention of an OutsideContextProblem, [[AntiHero Kyril Sutherland]], led to the war effort playing against her favour, causing the Dark Queen to be [[FallenPrincess disgraced]] as a prisoner. As the story progresses, Olga cooperates with both Kyril and Celestine in the war against the [[ArmyOfThievesAndWhores Black]] [[TheUsualAdversaries Dogs]], eventually confronting a past crime against her own people (sacrificing one of her cities to the orcs for them to RapePillageAndBurn).\\
The "LoveInterest" part is played in an unorthodox way compared to usual depictions of this archetype. While it's true that [[TheProtagonist the male protagonist]] Kyril eventually becomes the key for Olga to confront her demons, as well as one of the few people who takes a neutral stance in regards to said demons, Olga is the one that seeks for the protagonist's affections rather than the other way round, a persistent suitor among his UnwantedHarem no less. Kyril, despite being the [[LoveInterest object of affection]], is a CelibateHero whose "care" for her is due to him [[IGaveMyWord giving his word]] to [[{{Protectorate}} protect her from harm]] in the past and seeing her as a friend. Moreover, Olga certainly has [[MsFanservice the looks]], but she is neither [[LivingEmotionalCrutch dependent]] on the man, nor [[MagicContractRomance magically bound]] to him.

The representatives, known as Princess Knights or Shields, are responsible for governing their respective territories in Eostia, with [[TheHighQueen Celestine]] as [[TheHighKing leader]].

** The remastered version tones down the {{fanservice}}, putting several of them closer to this trope.
*** For [[PlayedStraight straighter]] cases, there's [[TheHighQueen Celestine]], who wears a shawl and a white robe; [[{{Hobbits}} Luu-Luu]], who is clad in raw animal hide; and Kaguya, who looks like a {{Miko}}.
*** Prim is a {{subversion}}. She wears a white and pink dress during her first appearance, but the narration describes her dress as "the work of the finest tailors of Feoh and Ur", meaning that she falls into SimpleYetOpulent. Later [[DoubleSubversion double subverted]] as she wears a more practical white dress during the ride to Ken, which would take approximately three to five days.

[[folder:Olga Discordia]]
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She is six feet tall, with ankle-length black hair and a bountiful form. Her pride and aloofness is backed up by her status as the Queen of the Dark Elves, along with [[LadyOfBlackMagic her exceptional talent in magic]].
* CoolCrown: She is the holder of [[OurGodsAreDifferent Haughty Garan's]] Jagged Crown, which indicates that she is the inheritor of that goddess's power. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], the pale purple crown she wears is neither jagged nor covered with thorns.
* DarkActionGirl: Olga (pre-HeelFaceTurn) is the ArcVillain of the ''Assault of the Black Fortress [[StoryArc Arc]]'', as well as the second belligerent of the [[ForeverWar centuries-old war]] against Eostia due to a [[KillAllHumans burning hatred of the human race]]. Aside from wearing dark-coloured clothing, she once offered the AlwaysChaoticEvil orcs a city of her own kind, the dark elves, for their [[RapePillageAndBurn entertainment]] in order to have them join her ranks. Olga is [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking the most powerful among her forces]] due to her [[LadyOfBlackMagic magical prowess]] capable of rivalling [[GodEmperor Celestine's]] own, so powerful that at least one of the battles between the two caused much devastation to the lands (which leads to the both of them wordlessly agreeing not to directly face each other in battle). The remastered version [[AdaptationalBadass buffs her up a bit]], allowing her to hold her own against the [[WorldsStrongestMan world's strongest]] LightningBruiser Kyril [[CurbStompCushion for a while]].
* DeathFromAbove: Combined with PlayingWithFire, she can do this via an arcane artillery strike.
* EvilFormerFriend: To [[TheHighQueen Celestine]]. They were close until they came to blows over the fate of humanity. Their friendship fell apart by the time Olga declared war on Celestine's kingdom, where she had been sending orc raiders and other monsters to her lands [[ForeverWar for centuries]]. Later {{subverted}} after their reconciliation, together with the Black Dogs stepping up to become the BigBad of this fanfic.
* FallenPrincess: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] to ''Fallen Queen''. She starts off as TheDreaded Queen of the Dark Elves, only to suffer defeat in the hands of the Black Dogs, and is taken prisoner. She even goes through an extra BreakTheHaughty sequence in the remastered version.
* {{Hellfire}}: Olga's [[PlayingWithFire flames]] are referred to as hellfire. They are described in the remastered version as "hotter than hell itself". We don't know if some sort of "{{Hell}}" exists in the ''Kuroinu'' 'verse, though.
* IOweYouMyLife: After Kyril breaks her and Chloe out of prison, Olga says to him that she owes him for saving and protecting them. In the remastered version, however, it is {{subverted}}. Although she says the trope word for word, feels grateful about the rescue and ends up a part of his GreatEscape party, she doesn't feel obligated to help him. It's not like she would suddenly forget that Kyril was the one who put her in a cell in the first place (because they were on opposing sides of a war). If anything, the fact that she is his prisoner irks her to no end.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Olga is described by Kyril's P.O.V. to have a voluptuous body covered by a [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]]. Considering her design in ''Kuroinu'' canon (which encapsulates the entire package of big breasts, narrow waist, and wide hips), he is clearly understating her physical appearance.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: She is a haughty MsFanservice with magical prowess that rivals Celestine, the Goddess Reborn. Throughout both versions of the fanfic (moreso for the remastered one, courtesy of the additional fight between Olga and Kyril), she has shown a variety of magics, including: {{Mordor}} creation; [[PlayingWithFire fire manipulation]]; control over the Black Fortress; DeflectorShields; swiftness augmentation; [[BlownAcrossTheRoom knockback]]; [[DispelMagic anti]]-{{intangibility}}; and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking trivial abilities like catching a pillow mid-air and sound muffling]].
* LogicalWeakness: For all of Olga's arcane might, she needs a [[PowerCrutch staff]] in order to cast her spells. Therefore, she's helpless [[WreckedWeapon once the staff is lost or gets broken]].
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She is six feet tall, with ankle-length black hair and a bountiful form. Her pride and aloofness is backed up by her status as the Queen of the Dark Elves, along with [[LadyOfBlackMagic her exceptional talent in magic]].
* CoolCrown: She is the holder of [[OurGodsAreDifferent Haughty Garan's]] Jagged Crown, which indicates that she is the inheritor of that goddess's power. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], the pale purple crown she wears is neither jagged nor covered with thorns.
* DarkActionGirl: Olga (pre-HeelFaceTurn) is the ArcVillain of the ''Assault of the Black Fortress [[StoryArc Arc]]'', as well as the second belligerent of the [[ForeverWar centuries-old war]] against Eostia due to a [[KillAllHumans burning hatred of the human race]]. Aside from wearing dark-coloured clothing, she once offered the AlwaysChaoticEvil orcs a city of her own kind, the dark elves, for their [[RapePillageAndBurn entertainment]] in order to have them join her ranks. Olga is [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking the most powerful among her forces]] due to her [[LadyOfBlackMagic magical prowess]] capable of rivalling [[GodEmperor Celestine's]] own, so powerful that at least one of the battles between the two caused much devastation to the lands (which leads to the both of them wordlessly agreeing not to directly face each other in battle). The remastered version [[AdaptationalBadass buffs her up a bit]], allowing her to hold her own against the [[WorldsStrongestMan world's strongest]] LightningBruiser Kyril [[CurbStompCushion for a while]].
* DeathFromAbove: Combined with PlayingWithFire, she can do this via an arcane artillery strike.
* EvilFormerFriend: To [[TheHighQueen Celestine]]. They were close until they came to blows over the fate of humanity. Their friendship fell apart by the time Olga declared war on Celestine's kingdom, where she had been sending orc raiders and other monsters to her lands [[ForeverWar for centuries]]. Later {{subverted}} after their reconciliation, together with the Black Dogs stepping up to become the BigBad of this fanfic.
* FallenPrincess: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] to ''Fallen Queen''. She starts off as TheDreaded Queen of the Dark Elves, only to suffer defeat in the hands of the Black Dogs, and is taken prisoner. She even goes through an extra BreakTheHaughty sequence in the remastered version.
* {{Hellfire}}: Olga's [[PlayingWithFire flames]] are referred to as hellfire. They are described in the remastered version as "hotter than hell itself". We don't know if some sort of "{{Hell}}" exists in the ''Kuroinu'' 'verse, though.
* IOweYouMyLife: After Kyril breaks her and Chloe out of prison, Olga says to him that she owes him for saving and protecting them. In the remastered version, however, it is {{subverted}}. Although she says the trope word for word, feels grateful about the rescue and ends up a part of his GreatEscape party, she doesn't feel obligated to help him. It's not like she would suddenly forget that Kyril was the one who put her in a cell in the first place (because they were on opposing sides of a war). If anything, the fact that she is his prisoner irks her to no end.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Olga is described by Kyril's P.O.V. to have a voluptuous body covered by a [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]]. Considering her design in ''Kuroinu'' canon (which encapsulates the entire package of big breasts, narrow waist, and wide hips), he is clearly understating her physical appearance.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: She is a haughty MsFanservice with magical prowess that rivals Celestine, the Goddess Reborn. Throughout both versions of the fanfic (moreso for the remastered one, courtesy of the additional fight between Olga and Kyril), she has shown a variety of magics, including: {{Mordor}} creation; [[PlayingWithFire fire manipulation]]; control over the Black Fortress; DeflectorShields; swiftness augmentation; [[BlownAcrossTheRoom knockback]]; [[DispelMagic anti]]-{{intangibility}}; and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking trivial abilities like catching a pillow mid-air and sound muffling]].

* TheKirk: Prim qualifies in the remastered version, soothing the choler between the more [[TheMcCoy emotional]] Alicia and the more [[TheSpock distant]] Kyril.

[[folder:Luu-Luu]]
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: {{Inverted}}. She's a [[PintSizedPowerhouse tiny]] GenkiGirl with short, curly ginger hair.
* GenkiGirl: Flippant, enthusiastic, and constantly wearing a toothy grin on her face, Luu-Luu is the hyper one among the Seven Shields. These traits [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope are lost]] once she gets subjected to FaceFullOfAlienWingWong thanks to [[EvilSorceror Shamuhaza]], remaining a husk of her former self.]]

[[folder:Olga Discordia]]
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She is six feet tall, with ankle-length black hair and a bountiful form. Her pride and aloofness is backed up by her status as the Queen of the Dark Elves, along with [[LadyOfBlackMagic her exceptional talent in magic]].
* CoolCrown: She is the holder of [[OurGodsAreDifferent Haughty Garan's]] Jagged Crown, which indicates that she is the inheritor of that goddess's power. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], the pale purple crown she wears is neither jagged nor covered with thorns.
* DarkActionGirl: Olga (pre-HeelFaceTurn) is the ArcVillain of the ''Assault of the Black Fortress [[StoryArc Arc]]'', as well as the second belligerent of the [[ForeverWar centuries-old war]] against Eostia due to a [[KillAllHumans burning hatred of the human race]]. Aside from wearing dark-coloured clothing, she once offered the AlwaysChaoticEvil orcs a city of her own kind, the dark elves, for their [[RapePillageAndBurn entertainment]] in order to have them join her ranks. Olga is [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking the most powerful among her forces]] due to her [[LadyOfBlackMagic magical prowess]] capable of rivalling [[GodEmperor Celestine's]] own, so powerful that at least one of the battles between the two caused much devastation to the lands (which leads to the both of them wordlessly agreeing not to directly face each other in battle). The remastered version [[AdaptationalBadass buffs her up a bit]], allowing her to hold her own against the [[WorldsStrongestMan world's strongest]] LightningBruiser Kyril [[CurbStompCushion for a while]].
* DeathFromAbove: Combined with PlayingWithFire, she can do this via an arcane artillery strike.
* EvilFormerFriend: To [[TheHighQueen Celestine]]. They were close until they came to blows over the fate of humanity. Their friendship fell apart by the time Olga declared war on Celestine's kingdom, where she had been sending orc raiders and other monsters to her lands [[ForeverWar for centuries]]. Later {{subverted}} after their reconciliation, together with the Black Dogs stepping up to become the BigBad of this fanfic.
* FallenPrincess: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] to ''Fallen Queen''. She starts off as TheDreaded Queen of the Dark Elves, only to suffer defeat in the hands of the Black Dogs, and is taken prisoner. She even goes through an extra BreakTheHaughty sequence in the remastered version.
* {{Hellfire}}: Olga's [[PlayingWithFire flames]] are referred to as hellfire. They are described in the remastered version as "hotter than hell itself". We don't know if some sort of "{{Hell}}" exists in the ''Kuroinu'' 'verse, though.
* IOweYouMyLife: After Kyril breaks her and Chloe out of prison, Olga says to him that she owes him for saving and protecting them. In the remastered version, however, it is {{subverted}}. Although she says the trope word for word, feels grateful about the rescue and ends up a part of his GreatEscape party, she doesn't feel obligated to help him. It's not like she would suddenly forget that Kyril was the one who put her in a cell in the first place (because they were on opposing sides of a war). If anything, the fact that she is his prisoner irks her to no end.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Olga is described by Kyril's P.O.V. to have a voluptuous body covered by a [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]]. Considering her design in ''Kuroinu'' canon (which encapsulates the entire package of big breasts, narrow waist, and wide hips), he is clearly understating her appearance.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: She is a haughty MsFanservice with magical prowess that rivals Celestine, the Goddess Reborn. Throughout both versions of the fanfic (moreso for the remastered one, courtesy of the additional fight between Olga and Kyril), she has shown a variety of magics, including: {{Mordor}} creation; [[PlayingWithFire fire manipulation]]; control over the Black Fortress; DeflectorShields; swiftness augmentation; [[BlownAcrossTheRoom knockback]]; [[DispelMagic anti]]-{{intangibility}}; and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking trivial abilities like catching a pillow mid-air and sound muffling]].
* LogicalWeakness: For all of Olga's arcane might, she needs a [[PowerCrutch staff]] in order to cast her spells. Therefore, she's helpless [[WreckedWeapon once the staff is lost or gets broken]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Chloe]]
* FreudianExcuse: Chloe was [[spoiler:[[ChildByRape born of rape]], the [[HalfHumanHybrid product]] of a human father and a dark elf mother. She, along with other dark elves, were then taken as slaves to be entertainment by human slavers, while her mother was murdered by her own father]]. Fortunately, Chloe was saved by Olga, who, like herself, witnessed the enslavement of her kind. Growing up into Olga's loyal vassal, she would later develop jerkassery and FantasticRacism towards humanity, as well as a [[UndyingLoyalty fervour]] to her liege lady's [[AntiHumanAlliance cause]].
* HairTriggerTemper: Normally speaking, Chloe reacts with fury towards anyone or anything she considers an affront to her liege lady Olga, making this instance more of a BerserkButton. [[AdaptationalJerkass Her counterpart in the remastered version]] magnifies this trait, together with a tendency to antagonize people and rant about how [[HumansAreBastards humans suck]]. Her FantasticRacism towards humans only fuels her fervor. It is quickly [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] to show how problematic her behaviour is -- Chloe comes across as an InsufferableImbecile whose lack of restraint is a source of discord among the GreatEscape party. Her antagonising [[WorldsStrongestMan Kyril]] also veers into BullyingADragon territory, something that Olga and Kyril himself have warned. The latter has explicitly stated that should Chloe be incapable of cooperating, he would "[[DeadlyEuphemism rescind his amnesty]]".

[[folder:Grace Campbell]]
* FanServiceWithASmile: PlayedStraight during her time as a barmaid. Like many others who work in [[FantasyTavern stock fantasy bars/inns/taverns]], she wears a [[{{Fanservice}} Fanservice-y]] outfit, namely a purple halterneck and a long sarong that accentuates her legs.
* IOweYouMyLife: Grace offers to become Kyril's retainer because she feels like she owes him for saving her and her friends' lives. Kyril accepts.
