*AllThereInTheManual: He invokes this trope in-universe, whenever he recites an article from the Japanese penal code, which he has memorized of course.
*BerserkButton: Taiga presses the normally-unflappable Ritsu's button twice: first when he says his handwriting is illegible and again when he tells the lithe Ritsu he needs to bulk up more.
*CharacterCatchphrase: He'll be quick to tell you that his going rate for consultations is "5500 yen per 30 minutes, tax inclusive." That's just about $36 USD in case you were wondering.
*CrazyPrepared: He carries around a notebook dossier on all the students and staff of Darkwick, a briefcase containing important documents, or documents that ''might'' become important later, and at least two voice recorders recording every conversation he has for use down the line should he need it. To him, this is just what a prepared lawyer does.
*DefrostingIceKing: It's subtle but it's there. At first he creates a partnership with the main character for the mission because their goals are aligned, and he might as well use her if she has to be inspector anyway. By the episode's end [[spoiler: he seems genuine in his apology that they couldn't capture the anomaly to get it to reverse her curse]] and promises that they will take on more missions in their partnership so that the MC may put an end to her curse.
*{{Determinator}}: In his quest to get either Taiga or Romeo to sign the investigation order, and thus begin his larger goal of getting the Darkwick Gala reinstated, he endures several guns pointed at his head. Thankfully, his stigma prevents there being any real danger of bodily harm to himself.
*JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ritsu's jerkass tendencies mostly stem from his cold professionalism and ideas of what a proper lawyer should act like (ie: his morally-questionable attorney father). He doesn't seem to be too bad of a guy past that.
*ManOfWealthAndTaste: So much so that he's at first shocked that he isn't placed into Frostheim.

* MeaningfulName: It's probably not surprising the House called '''Frost'''heim is a little chilly.chilly, both physically and personality-wise. Luca and Kaito actually seem to be exceptions to the rest of their House.
*{{Motifs}}: Frostheim has the most of any House. Given their name and nature, they're naturally associated with wintry themes. They're also most often depicted by chess pieces, usually a rook, emphasizing their prestige and wealth. They also are associated with swords, with two of the ghouls using them as artifacts (Luca's twin swords, and Jin's more traditional longsword) and the other two having sharp blades in non-sword artifacts (Tohma's halberd and Kaito's arrows). Finally, royalty themes are abundant in Frostheim. Jin, the House captain, and his vice-captain Thoma are referred to in chapter titles as the King and King's Advisor respectively. Luca is also referred to as the Knight while Kaito is called the Archer (albeit reluctantly), which while not be explicitly royal still has similar medieval connotations. There's also a crown on their crest.

*{{Motifs}}: Chains, they're everywhere from their crest to dorm outfits to official card art.
Added DiffLines:
*{{Motifs}}: They have an axolotl on their House crest, and are symbolized by a four-leaf clover on the WickChat screen. Axolotls certainly ''look'' like they could be anomalous animals, and they're an animal/nature-themed House.
Added DiffLines:
*{{Motifs}}: Skulls and playing cards. They have a "Mafia-running-a-dubious-casino" theme so it makes sense.
Added DiffLines:
*{{Motifs}}: Hand fans, fitting for a House themed on traditional Japanese culture.
**Also, fireflies. One is prominently displayed on the House crest, and it's even in the House name Hotarubi, with ''hotaru'' (蛍) meaning "firefly" and ''bi'' (火) meaning "fire/light".

*TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes: He's a capable medical student with a wide knowledge of the field, and yet seems to show less regard for his own illness.

Added DiffLines:
*TheAloner: Spends a majority of his time in his room, and prefers to spend it alone.
*AmbiguousSituation: Jin's mother is implied to have recently passed away due to some mental illness but the specifics have yet to be explored.
*BadassBureaucrat: Maybe not quite yet, but his father is the President of the Anomalous Research Institute and he's the heir of the family. He's also a badass ghoul with a giant sword as his special artifact.
*DarkAndTroubledPast: The situation with his mother and the fallout from The Clash are why he started holing himself up in his room.
*DefrostingIceKing: He starts to show more compassion by the end of Episode 1 when he asks the MC to dance to help her save face, as well as when [[spoiler: he reprimands Lucas for instigating Vagastrom because it put the MC in danger.]]
*FairytaleMotifs: His being someone of high power and authority asking a commoner like the MC to dance is reminiscent of the story of Cinderella.
*IceKing: Captain of the icy Frostheim House, and with a cold personality to match.
*{{Jerkass}}: Not a very friendly or approachable person, when the MC enters his room for the first time he essentially threatens to kill her if she shows up again. He gets marginally better by the end of the Episode but just barely.
*MissingMom: His mother apparently passed away recently after struggling with some kind of illness, but this is only mentioned in passing.
*MysticalWhiteHair: He's a rich and influential ghoul, the captain of his House, and has white hair.
*{{Pride}}: The captain of Frostheim, which is full of prideful students, and his isolation hasn't done much to dull his own arrogance, thinking that many things are beneath him.
*YouAreNotAlone: His reasoning for asking the main character to dance at the end of Episode 1 is implied to be due to this - other Frostheim students won't look down on her for coming alone and not being from a prestigious family if she dances with Frostheim's captain.
