* {{Foil}}: To [[Literature/TheGardenOfSinners Touko]]. Touko is a successful RenaissanceMan while Aoko is a decent mage, but Touko is a {{jerkass}} who is willing to kill even her friends (for calling her by her EmbarrassingNickname) on DisproportionateRetribution grounds as well as being a jerk because "[she's] a Magus" and because her "immortality" has given her a nihilistic view on life. However, she does have a soft spot for Shiki Ryougi and the Kokutou siblings and [[EvilParentsWantGoodKids tries to lead them on a better path]]. She's also technically achieved immortality (the goal of all Mages) by using puppets (clones) that she uses to replace her body when she gets killed. Meanwhile, Aoko is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold (mainly because she's plucky and hotheaded; she's otherwise a good person) who cares deeply about her friends (she [[spoiler:attempts to bring Soujuurou back to life when Touko kills him, and ''succeeds'']] and her becoming TheMentor to Shiki Tohno) and she remains an idealistic person. Despite being average in most fields of magecraft, she's managed to achieve Fifth Magic, all because [[spoiler:she wanted to revive Soujuurou]], and as a result, she's truly achieved immortality. Aoko also ends up being the mentor to [[TheHero Shiki Tohno]], the owner of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception in timelines where [[HeroOfAnotherStory Shiki Ryougi]] doesn't have them, and is part of why he ends up being a good person.

*NotWearingTights: Joked about in fighting game enthusiast circles as the [[SarcasmMode pinnacle of fighting game character design]], Aoko operates in nothing more than jeans and a white t-shirt, highlighting her lackadaisical attitude.

* OlderThanSheLooks: She's only a few years younger than her sister Touko, but her appearance does not give the vibe of being an older person (Touko is hinted to be in her thirties in ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners'', but looks mid-to-late twenties at least. Justified with her being in a doll body). Even after the 7-year TimeSkip in the game, she is still mostly the same. Possibly the side effect of mastering the Fifth Sorcery.

Predictably, she ends up massively overkilling Roa and blowing all his research to smithereens, then nonchalantly fixes whatever problem Mario was having with Fifth Magic.

* ArchEnemy: To Arcueid, for tricking her into drinking his blood, stealing her strength, and causing her to kill her fellow True Ancestors in a bloodlust-fuelled rampage.

* FallenHero: He was one of the two founding members of the Burial Agency. His flashback in the the Remake also states that he used to be kind and virtuous (though he lacked the capacity to love other people), and he would have become a saint had he not gone down the wrong path.


Added DiffLines:

* WeakButSkilled: The original Roa is stated to be fairly average in talents. However, his singular focus propelled him to become [[TheArchmage one of the greatest mage]] of his age. Ciel is able to produce some of the greatest magical feats a human is capable of from drawing on his knowledge alone.

Crimson Moon Brunestud is the Ultimate One of the Moon, which is a kind of being a celestial body creates to protect itself. Because Gaia could not make a similar being for itself, the Crimson Moon offered to allow Gaia to make copies of it. Thus came into being the race known as the True Ancestors around 2000 BC during the Age of Gods. However, from Gaia's perspective there were two problems with them: The first is that, having foresaw its death, the Crimson Moon could use the True Ancestors to reincarnate itself. [[CloningBlues Since the True Ancestors were supposed to be exact copies of the Crimson Moon]], [[GeneticMemory this could be possible]]. The second flaw was that Gaia-created beings like fairies could not drink blood or they would [[AxCrazy go insane]]. Since the True Ancestors were Gaia-created beings, they could not drink blood either, but because they were copies of the Crimson Moon, they had an urge to drink blood that could not be controlled [[WillfullyWeak without using a large amount of their own power]]. This meant that True Ancestors who did drink blood and go crazy were more powerful than the sane ones as the Demon Lords did not suppress their power. This is why Arcueid was created. She was born without an innate desire for blood, and so could fight the Demon Lords at full power.\\\

* PetTheDog: In the Remake, [[spoiler:after his death in Ciel's route, Roa gives some parting advice to Shiki before he goes. This is even more pronounced in the [[DownerEnding Normal End]], as in that route, he never fought alongside Shiki, and his words are much less cryptic, essentially telling Shiki to hang onto hope, seemingly for no reason other than understanding what a tragic fate awaits him when he wakes up.]]

* AffablyEvil: Or at least, the original one. When Shiki is speaking to him, briefly, at the end of Ciel's route in the remake, he is quiet and polite and gives Shiki a few parting words. Especially notable in the Normal End, where he basically tells Shiki to have hope. [[BittersweetEnding He'll need it]].



* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Shown in Ciel's True End in the Remake. While advicing Shiki, Roa has a complete grasp on what is happening around his host, and is able to clue Shiki in on what had and is about to happen using his vast knowledge and expertise. He is proven correct in all his assessments time and time again, allowing Shiki to defeat and save Arcueid with his help.



* DeathOfPersonality: Shiki eventually realizes that there is basically nothing left of the original Roa, and by now, every reincarnation had simply been following the original directive, with nearly no trace of the man himself left.



* GracefulLoser: Only in the Good Ending of the Ciel Route.

* GracefulLoser: Only in In the original Good Ending and remake Normal Ending of the Ciel Route.


Added DiffLines:

* MotiveDecay: Originally, Roa wishes to attain immortality to witness the totality of humanity's accumulation of knowledge and its journey in full. Upon seeing Arcueid however, [[LoveAtFirstSight he falls deeply in love]], and his drive to reincarnate shifts from his original goal to being pursued by Arcueid and seeing her again, no matter how many times she kills him. He himself realizes this and despises his loss of "purity", which is partly why he mistakes his love for her as hatred.

However, she is in possession of his Blood, and [[AllThereInTheManual Tsukihime Material I]] mentions that it was she who defeated him, leaving it unclear under what circumstances he was defeated and why he was not listed among the two (three in her own route) True Ancestor Ciel had taken out.

* AdaptationalWimp: Implied, as the remake establishes that only six Dead Apostle Ancestors have been taken out, (one is killed by Shiki, two of them were handled by the Church, and another two were killed by Ciel, leaving only one's circumstances of death/sealing ambiguous), meaning that Narbareck's old record of sealing away three Ancestors no longer applies in this timeline.

* StealthMentor: Roa casually points out the flaws of everyone around him during Ciel's route in the Remake. While Shiki initially writes this off as obnoxious boasting, it later clicks that Roa's actually giving Shiki just enough hints to see if he can figure out what to do on his own.

* ParasiticImmortality: This is how Roa Valdamong achieved immortality: while he was alive in his own body, he magically prepared a number of unrelated individuals across the world as future host bodies, so when his body died, he transferred his consciousness to one of the candidates and repeated the process, thus staying alive for hundreds of years. In the story proper, [[spoiler:Ciel]] is the most recent host whose body inexplicably came back to life after she was killed and Roa had already left it behind. [[spoiler:SHIKI Tohno, Akiha's ''real'' biological brother,]] is the current host, to whom Roa's spirit transferred after that.

* PlotIrrelevantVillain: He ultimately doesn't have anything do with any of the major conflicts: [[RedHerring he isn't the Dead Apostle Arcueid is hunting]], he's not working with [[BigBad Roa]], and he more than likely isn't even aware of SHIKI's existence. Not to mention that he only appears in two of ''Tsukihime's'' five routes. He ultimately serves no real purpose to the narrative beyond being a tough opponent for Shiki, which is likely why he wound up getting AdaptedOut in the remake.
