7[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cecily_campbell.jpg]]
8The protagonist of the series, a girl with red hair, well-endowed, and a 3rd generation knight from The Knight Guards of Housman, the Third City of the Independent Trade Cities.
9----
10* AdaptationalWimp: In the manga and original light novels, Cecily is one of the most badass swordswomen who can defeat enemies with her weapons. The anime version, makes her more incompetent at the start and she needs to get rescued three times in fewer episodes.
11* AlliterativeName: '''C'''ecily '''C'''ampbell
12* AncestralWeapon: Cecily's sword belongs to the Campbells, which [[WreckedWeapon breaks]] the first time Cecily tries to use it. Her quest is to get Luke to forge another one.
13* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler:Averted (in the manga and light novel). Just when Siegfried's attack on Cecily looks like it will end in rape he tells her he ''hates her'' too much even if he were capable of doing it. It is intended as the [[MindRape icing on the cake]] in a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown aiming at breaking her spirit.]]
14* BattleBallgown: Her armor seems to include a frilly skirt.
15* BelligerentSexualTension: Luke and Cecily are constantly getting on each other's nerves even as their attraction to each other deepens.
16* BerserkButton: Do not tell Cecily you would like to ''purchase'' her friend Aria. Actually, just don't insult her friends in general.
17* BlueBlood: She's a high-ranking nobleman in Housman.
18* BuxomBeautyStandard: Cecily has rather large breasts, a trait which is frequently focused on. Characters often point out how buxom she is, ogling her breasts, wishing their breasts were as big as hers and even wanting to [[SkinshipGrope grope her]].
19* ButtMonkey: At lot of the humor on the series comes at her expense, with her ending up in embarrassing or humiliating situations.
20* ChainmailBikini: Cecily's armor leaves nothing to the imagination, resembling nothing so much as a polished metal sports bra. It's downplayed somewhat in that her fellow male knights have plating with similar coverage.
21* ClothingDamage: Cecily's armor breaks during battle, being about as durable as her sword. One time, it broke when she slapped her hand against it, to [[NakedFreakOut her embarrassment]].
22* CowboyCop: While Cecily possesses the single greatest weapon in the city, her unreliability and temperament ([[{{Jerkass}} trying to punch a diplomat from]] TheEmpire [[EveryManHasHisPrice because he pissed you off?]]) makes her unpopular with the rest of the Knights so she's viewed primarily as a Troubleshooter/thug by the city's PowersThatBe — with the exception of Hannibal, though ''he'' calls her out the most.
23* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has red hair and eyes of the same shade.
24* EvenTheGirlsWantHer:
25** Lisa refused to stop talking about Cecily's breasts for the first two episodes.
26** Aria repeatedly sneaks into Cecily's bed to use her breasts as pillows, declaring pointedly she wants to claim Cecily for herself.
27* FieryRedhead: The flaming temper and red hair pair match together and with her {{Tsundere}}.
28* GoThroughMe: In the first episode, Cecily takes several blows for Luke after the ice demon breaks his katana. She continues guarding him while he forges a new one. She does this in the last episode, too... then uses the katana he forges for her to break a Demon Sword!
29* HeroesPreferSwords: Her sword is a Campbell heirloom, long used in performing knightly deeds.
30* HeroicBSoD: Cecily has a minor breakdown when she's told she needs to MercyKill a zombie. Her coworkers are less than impressed. It gets worse when [[spoiler:later in the novels, Cecily suffers a major [[{{Heroic BSoD}} breakdown]] when coming close to being raped by the BigBad.]]
31* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: Cecily is asked a couple of times about her relationship with Luke by a few characters. She usually vehemently denies it.
32* HotBlooded: Cecily puts her best into everything and walks with honor, guts, and [[{{Determinator}} determination]]. Too bad this has left her with poor self-control and a [[DidntThinkThisThrough lack of foresight]], which impair her abilities in politics, diplomacy, commerce, and... [[NoSocialSkills normal human interaction]].
33* LustObject: Several characters end up lusting after Cecily due to her voluptuous figure, most prominently [[{{Tsundere}} Luke]], who dislikes her but can't help but be attracted to her.
34* MadeOfIron: Cecily can absorb an insane amount of damage and be fine by the next day/week, when a normal warrior would be crippled for life if he was lucky. She also can bleed around 40 gallons in one go.
35* MsFanservice: Cecily is a pretty, well-endowed girl who wears a skintight breastplate that's prone to WardrobeMalfunction, is constantly under MaleGaze shots, and gets into a variety of {{fanservice}} situations.
36* PleaseIWillDoAnything: At one point, Cecily begs Luke to help her save Aria, and promises him anything he wants. "If it's money, I will work for you until the day I die. If it's my body, you can do whatever you want with me." [[spoiler:Luke doesn't ask for anything]].
37* PluckyGirl: Though Cecily's anime incarnation lacks the manga and light novel versions' skills, she certainly doesn't lack guts. She knew Jack Stmdr was a seasoned veteran but still challenged him to fulfill her duty as a knight. She didn't stop fighting until her sword broke.
38* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Cecily is a noblewoman and so she counts as this in the manga and light novels. There she rallies a group of knights and mercenaries against a large number of thieves with werewolves to victory.
39* RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler:While Siegfried doesn't actually rape Cecily, the scene where he beats the crap out of her, strips her naked, and tells her that she's pretty for a country girl while straddling her naked body, as well as Cecily's reaction to it, crying out for help that never comes, and vomiting afterwards, all evoke this trope. This is especially the case when one remembers that rape isn't just about sex, but about power and control, which Sigfried clearly robbed from Cecily.]]
40* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Often gets put into fanservice situations against her will, such as having a public WardrobeMalfunction or being forced to wear maid clothing.
41* SheCleansUpNicely: Cecily is initially mortified to be seen in a dress and then totally flummoxed when Luke compliments her on it.
42* SingleStrokeBattle: Cecily versus Siegfried comes close, although it's actually [[DownplayedTrope four strokes total]].
43* TookALevelInBadass: Cecily's anime incarnation takes her first level in the fight against the fire demon and keeps improving from there. Her second fight with Charlotte's handmaidens/bodyguards is [[HeroicRematch a complete reversal of her first]], with her splitting them up and then soundly beating each one with tactics specifically designed to counter their abilities. Hell, even the first fight (three against one and she held her own) showed she had improved. In the manga, she manages to take down all of Charlotte's handmaidens/bodyguards one after another without splitting them, sniping Margot behind from a wall and fighting off the other two.
44* {{Tsundere}}: Cecily is Tybe B (default:dere-dere) because she is generally friendly or at least well-meaning. She is just easily flustered and/or angered by the guy she has a crush on.
45* TheUnfairSex: Cecily is often unfair to Luke though more from being too HotBlooded and impulsive for her own good than any malice. She will verbally attack Luke without provocation (or information) because she can't handle her own feelings.

49!!Luke Ainsworth
50->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuhikoOkamoto (Japanese), Creator/BlakeShepard (English)[[note]]'''Other languages:''' Creator/ArturoCastaneda (Latin American Spanish)[[/note]]
51[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/36442.jpg]]
52The titular character is a blacksmith of great skill and renown and is also a talented swordsman.
53----
54* AmusingInjuries: Luke's face gets hilariously swollen after being on the receiving end of Cecily's MegatonPunch (all due to Cecily's ClothingDamage).
55* ArmsDealer: Luke is actively avoiding getting into the business of producing katana for others, and even leaders of Independent Trade Cities have a hard time pressing him into it.
56* BadassCape: He wears a cape, which doesn't seem to hinder him in combat or smithing.
57* BareHandedBladeBlock: Luke barely manages to do one in episode 3 after Cecily tries to stab him with a dagger. This happens Aria wonders if the two insulting each other means they are a couple.
58* BelligerentSexualTension: Luke and Cecily are constantly getting on each other's nerves even as their attraction to each other deepens.
59* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Do not even try to say anything about Lisa being a "replacement" to Luke. While he may acknowledge it, he will, at worst, give you a black eye]].
60* BigDamnHeroes: Luke saves Cecily often. The very first scene in the anime is a FlashForward to him rescuing her for the third time. It's defied in the manga and light novels, where Cecily decides that she's not gonna just stand there and let Luke have all the fun.
61* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Luke believes he created Lisa using a death song, but not quite. Apparently it's also possible for some people to use their death songs to create more benign forms of demon like Lisa (and presumably Aria).]]
62* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Averted.
63-->'''Luke''':You're sorry? You have a wardrobe malfunction and beat the crap out of me, and you expect sorry is gonna cut it?
64* EyeScream: During a particularly brutal duel in the Manga, Luke takes a blow to the head that causes his fake eye to pop out onto the floor, much to the horror of the nobles watching the fight.
65* GlassEye: Luke's left eye is artificial. [[spoiler:His real eye was used to create Lisa.]]
66* HidingBehindYourBangs: His hair often obscures his GlassEye, and add to his antisocial demeanor.
67* ILetGwenStacyDie: Luke torments himself (creating a mental block that [[spoiler:prevents him from finishing the Sacred Sword]]) believing his actions led to the death of his childhood friend Lisa (pronounced Leeza, not Leesa...). In fact, [[spoiler:Lisa died protecting him against Valbanill, but by her own choice]].
68* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Eventually, this becomes Luke's reason for continuing to keep silent about his feelings for Cecily. He knows that his life is coming to a swift end, and he doesn't want his death to cause Cecily the same pain that Lisa Oakwood's caused him. He tells Euen that he's sure that someday Cecily will find happiness with another man. However, when Euen asks Luke if he'd really be okay with watching Cecily fall in love with someone else because of never telling her how he feels, Luke grits his teeth and doesn't answer.]]
69* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: To a much lesser degreee of jerkiness than heart of gold-nes. He's a great friend to Lisa but less so to others.
70* KatanasAreJustBetter: His weapon of choice is a katana, and the ones he makes a generally superior to other (non-magical) swords presented in the series.
71* {{Nosebleed}}: When Cecily's [[WardrobeMalfunction breastplate cracks and falls off, it takes her shirt with it]], exposing her naked breasts and causing him to have a massive nosebleed. Lisa later mocks him for having such an immature reaction to nudity.
72* PlatonicLifePartners: He and Lisa live together and act very close, but their relationship is purely platonic.
73* PowerDegeneration: [[spoiler:Because their work involves shaping glowing, white-hot pieces of iron, most blacksmiths develop damage to one (or both) of their eyes. Luke starts to lose the vision in his one remaining eye. This turns out to be a lie Luke tells to comfort Lisa but the trope is still being played straight. Luke is using his own flesh for "Demon Sword Materialization".]]
74* ThePowerOfLove: Played with: Luke is convinced that he lacks sufficient hatred to complete the Sacred Sword, but it's ThePowerOfLove that finally allows him to finish it... kinda. [[spoiler:He had already completed it but it took even more love to convince him he had succeeded.]]
75* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After Luke learns what [[spoiler:[[AttemptedRape Siegfried]] did to Cecily]], he absolutely goes ballistic.
76* SwipeYourBladeOff: He does this in the first episode after killing some monsters. He's a sword-maker, so he knows very well the importance of sword maintenance (and it looks cool).
77* ThanksForTheMammary: Luke, mainly as AccidentalPervert, occasionally grabs Cecily's breasts.
78* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Averted. Luke usually has Cecily keeping his opponents busy while he's making a sword or they're so stuck up they think it's fun to watch him struggle.
79* {{Tsundere}}: Luke is a type A (default:tsun-tsun) because he is generally aloof or jerkish, but he can be really nice to certain people important to him (like Lisa, and eventually Cecily).
80* UltimateBlacksmith: Luke is the eponymous "Sacred blacksmith" from the title, a name he acquired due to his supernatural skill as a blacksmith.

97* PlatonicLifePartners: She and Luke live together and act very close, but their relationship is purely platonic.

100* ShipperOnDeck: She likes Luke and Cecily being paired together and often tries to mediate their BelligerentSexualTension.

113* BlowYouAway: She's the demon sword of wind and can grant her wielder elemental wind powers in battle.
114* BuxomBeautyStandard: While her chest isn't as big or as focused on as Cecily's, Aria is still noted to be well-endowed by other characters.
115* ColorCodedElements: She's the demon sword of wind and wears green.
116* ColorMotif: Green, as she wears green clothing and her wind powers have a green aura.
117* DarkAndTroubledPast: She has trauma over being used as a weapon of murder and carnage in her past, and dislikes thinking about it.
118* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She sacrifices herself at the end of the novel, sealing hersel away alongside Valbanill. Many years later, Luke and Cecily's descendants free Aria from the seal by forging a new sacred sword to be used in her place.]]
119* IAmNotAGun: While Aria realizes that she can't fight her fate, she really, really relishes her times of peace. She's also grateful that in Cecily's hands she's used to protect people instead of slaughtering them.
120* LongHairIsFeminine: She has long, straight hair, which adds to her feminine personality, in contrast to Cecily who has shorter hair and tomboyish inclinations.

192* EntitledBitch: In their debut episode, Charlotte and her GirlPosse attack Cecily, try to steal Aria and strong-arm Luke into working for them, then whine about people being rude to them. Then they expect Cecily, whom they just tried to kill, to put them up while they stay in the city, and worse, they're expecting to [[PrettyFreeloader live it up and be treated like Royalty]].

259* AlmightyJanitor: She's just a maid who takes care of the Campbell Family's house, but is so authoritative and scary that she orders around even the people she's supposed to be serving. She even effortlessly beats up Charlotte's bodyguards with her bare hands.
260* BerserkButton: She reacts strongly to anyone speaking ill of the Campbell family.
261* HiredHelpAsFamily: She's so close and loyal to the Campbell family that she's basically considered part of the family.
262* {{Meido}}: Inverted. While she dresses the part ad is ultra-competent at her job, she's not meek and submissive and will do things like force her own mistress into a maid outfit for (presumably) fun.
263* SupremeChef: Characters are frequently impressed by her talent as a cook.

284* DarkIsEvil: He wears a lot of black, and he is definitely evil.
285* EnforcedColdWar: According to Siegfried, this is the reason ''why'' peace exists in the first place. The war was beyond horrific to the point of severely traumatizing entire nations, which is why: A) they would do anything to avoid another war, and B) Demon Swords are so lusted after by everyone and their mothers. [[ILied He might]] [[SmugSnake be lying]], but still it makes a lot of sense in the setting.
286* EunuchsAreEvil: [[spoiler:This is the second reason Siegfried doesn't rape Cecily after beating her up; he's physically unable to.]]
287* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Siegfried's sexual assault of Cecily proves, once and for all, that he is an asshole.]]
288* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Siegfried's criticism of Cecily is as harsh as the brutal beat-down he deals out at the same time. He broke every bit of her [[HonorBeforeReason entire]] [[HotBlooded psyche]] until he left her broken in a barn... because he didn't care enough to finish her.]]
289* StrawNihilist: Talking about the pointlessness of peace and stuff like that. [[spoiler:He gets violent when Cecily [[ShutUpHannibal tells him to shut up]]]].
290* WhiteHairBlackHeart: It is significant in that no one else in the city has white hair, not even old people like Hannibal (who is awesomely bald instead).
