* HalfBreedDiscrimination: The people of her town are seen gossiping about her for being a half-elf, and its noted that her dream of becoming a knight of Elheim is impossible due to her half-blooded nature.

* HalfBreedDiscrimination: The people of her town are seen gossiping about her for being a half-elf, to the point one of them believes she's an informant for Zenoira given how her son and its some of his friends who badmouthed them in earshot of Ridiel ended up in prison. Ironically, despite [[EveryoneHasStandards another elf rebuking the woman for that statement]], that's [[ProperlyParanoid exactly what happened]]. It's also noted that her dream of becoming a knight of Elheim is impossible due to her half-blooded nature.



* LesCollaborateurs: When we meet her, she's willingly selling information to Zenoira; given how even they deride her heritage, it's less from any dedication than a lack of hope they can be stopped.

Added DiffLines:

* PlayingBothSides: When the Zenoiran she feeds info on the presence of the Liberation Army rebukes her for implying she wants a larger bonus for this intel by stating she'd sell her pride for a few gold coins, Ridiel muses on giving the Liberation info on the Zenoiran movements and being paid for it.

If their specialization just makes fights harder against certain foes, then it isn't crippling.


* CripplingOverspecialization: In her rapport with Lex she admits that traditional elven techniques became difficult to use against the more flexible armies of Zenoira who employed heavy armor and mixed arms.

* LongLived: While not to the extent of the elves of some settings, it is indicated they typically live for centuries.

to:

* LongLived: While not to the extent of the elves of some settings, it is indicated they typically live for centuries. As for those born of InterspeciesRomance unions, their lifespans are indicated to be shorter on the whole; this has led to HalfBreedDiscrimination. Most non-"pure" elves thus reside in the easternmost region of Elheim, which isn't totally free of intolerance but allows them to more or less live their lives as they see fit.



* PardonMyKlingon: They tend to spruce up their dialogues with elfish.

* ArcHero: She's met the moment Alain steps into Elheim through the Winding Wood, and serves as the {{Deuteragonist}} for the entirety of its main plot.



* AbdicateTheThrone: [[spoiler:If she's given the Ring of the Maiden, Eltolinde abdicates the Turenós title to Rosalinde and marries Alain.]]



* ShipTease: Whereas her sister aggressively flirts with Alain during the main story, Eltolinde's own affections for him are front-and-centre to their Rapports.



* {{Tritagonist}}: For the Elheim arc; Eltolinde is recruited halfway through [[spoiler:after she's freed of Alcina's possession]] and is only surpassed by her sister and Alain in significance to the storyline.









* GuestStarPartyMember: His unit assists in the first Elheim battle before joining in full thereafter; he's actually able to talk an Elven guard in the same fight into aiding them if given the opportunity to.
* NumberTwo: Though his loyalty is primarily to Eltolinde, since the Zenoiran occupation he's been serving under her sister; Rosalinde leads the resistance with Lhinalagos as her military aide. After Eltolinde is saved, he returns to her service as covered in their Rapport; [[spoiler:he'll even relocate to Cornia to continue serving under her if she marries Alain.]]



* ArcherArchetype: She's a dark-haired, aloof woman who has been driven to cynicism from her circumstances; when she's recruited she's still reserved, but shows a warmer side.



* HalfHumanHybrid: She is a half-elf, born to an elven knight and an unnamed human man. Compared to pureblooded elves, she has dark hair and short pointed ears.
* ParentalAbandonment: Her mother, Rydia, was an elven knight who was killed fighting Zenoira.

* LikeParentLikeChild: She can fall in love with and marry Alain, following in her mother's footsteps of a MayflyDecemberRomance with a shorter-lived human. In this scenario, she notes her mother must be laughing at her right then given her past criticisms of the matter.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: She's the product of one, as her mother married a human man and had her. Furthermore, while half-elf lifespans aren't specified it's indicated they still live notably longer than humans given her father's death is implied to have happened long ago. Alain choosing to romance her means she'll almost-certainly outlive him, although at that point she's willing to endure the inevitable heartbreak.
* ParentalAbandonment: Her mother, Rydia, was an elven knight who was killed fighting Zenoira. Her human father implicitly died years ago.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Though Ridiel is slow to open up to most people on account of the HalfBreedDiscrimination she's endured (which among other things deprived her of her dream to be a royal knight), when she's fond of somebody she'll show her tender and caring heart more openly.

* CantHoldHisLiquor: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] to the point she gets drunk just from breathing in alcohol fumes. In their Rapport, Lhinalagos is initially angry that Mordon got her drunk, but he defends himself saying that she didn't actually drink any, just smelled it.

* BlackMagicianGirl: Elven Augur specializes in offensive attacks, namely magic and both of her starting growths are set to "Offensive". Even the assist skill has her pelting fire magic at the enemies. While she does have access to healing, it only targets one unit and its primary use is to get rid of ailments.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Her role in the Elheim arc of the game. She's the first character recruited when the group arrived at the Winding Woods. She appears alongside Alain in cutscenes recruiting other Elheim characters (Ithilion, Lhinalagos, Railanor) and Rosalinde is the who explains the Ring of the Unicorn alongside the rite of the covenant. The final fight against [[ArcVillain Alcina]] takes place in Palanspelt Palace, Rosalinde's source of power and domain.



* DifficultButAwesome: Rosalinde and her sister are mechanically the most complex classes in the game. Rosalinde is generally considered to be an S Tier character, one of the most powerful characters in the game alongside Alain and Yunifi.

* DifficultButAwesome: Downplayed compared to her sister, but the difference is between an S Tier character and an S- Tier character. The difference in power stems from Boon of the Fairies being not as powerful as Rage of the Fairies. It is still a great skill in its own right, giving Eltolinde a much better matchup against Shamans and Featherbows compared to her sister. Albion is where Eltolinde gets her turn to shine.

* AnIcePerson: Her Freezing Thrust deals ice damage to an enemy and can freeze them.



* ProudBeauty: Rosalinde's gorgeous and she knows it. This is evident in some of her rapport  conversations, her level up quote, and her favorite gifts are "appearance" items, like scented soaps and face powders. She is however a lot nicer than many other examples.
->'''Rosalinde''': Stunning, aren't I?
* SpinToDeflectStuff: She and her sister guard attacks by spinning their spears.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: His young age compared to the rest of the full blooded elves in Alain's army is repeatedly noted, him having been a child when all the others were already adults. Downplayed in that he neither wants nor gets much special treatment over it, beyond characters fondly reminiscing over how different he was as a child.

* HalfIdenticalTwins: An interesting example in that her nearly-identical twin sister is a different ''race'' rather than a different gender. But Eltolinde and Rosalinde are nonetheless virtually identical in everything but skin and hair color, something exaggerated by their wearing very similar outfits and hairstyles.

* {{Foil}}: The shopkeepers in the eastern region of Elheim consist of a haughty armorer, a serenely mature provisioner, and an elven child running the tavern. In the west, their dark elf counterparts consist of a friendly blacksmith appreciative of your business, a young and awkward clerk, and the one running the pubs is [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl most definitely not some kind.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SchmuckBait: Her stage looks like a straight shot to where she's stationed with a few watchtowers to deal with. This isn't the case as the woods around her town and the Liberation Army's encampment are loaded with archers. Savvy players familiar with how forests can hide troops might think to send a unit to scout into them just to be safe, but that's the second part of Railanor's strategy as those areas are loaded with debilitating traps.
