| 10 | This covers Erune characters who are recruitable through the gacha or special events. |
| 11 | ---- |
| 12 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 13 | |
| 14 | [[folder: Shared Tropes]] |
| 15 | * AlphabeticalThemeNaming: All Erune names in Japanese are entirely made up of characters that end with a vowel (with the exception for "n", which mainly applies to guys, so Lowain, Sevastien, and Alanaan are all perfectly acceptable Erune names) and use no voiced or semivoiced consonants. The only notable exceptions are Ilsa, Drang, and Mordred. |
| 16 | * ArtisticLicenseBiology: One thing that's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #610 is the idea that as Erunes have their ears above their heads, how can some of them even manage to keep their glasses on? There has to be something that keeps the glasses in place. Freesia jokingly answers to this by saying that she uses her "face muscles". |
| 17 | * CatGirl: Some Erunes have cats as their animal trait. Others are more obviously styled after foxes - Yuel & Societte being the classic examples. [[spoiler:Erunes with fox tails are in fact descendants of the Nine Royal Families of the old, pre-Astrals Erune kingdom which was brought to ruin by Ninetails.]] |
| 18 | * ElementalPowers: |
| 19 | ** A lot like [[Characters/GranblueFantasyDraph Draphs and Fire/Earth]], a ''staggering'' number of Erunes are Wind-element; counting same-element alternate versions, fully a ''third'' of all Erune character-units are Wind. Fire is a very distant second, a full nine units behind Wind (though Fire Erunes are still some of that element's most defining characters, like Fire!Societte, Tien, and OG Yuel). |
| 20 | ** Water is a curious example - strictly speaking, it's in third place in overall number of units (at eleven) but it's got a bit of a proliferation of SSR units. Who are those units? Drang, Feower, Pholia, OG Societte, Vajra, and Water!Yuel. As a result, it's easy to associate Water with Erunes despite there not being many of them in absolute terms, because the Erunes who ''are'' Water are a murderer's row of the element's most effective characters. |
| 21 | * FantasyCounterpartCulture: It's more subtle than most, but it's still there - in general, Erunes tend to be what we in the real world would consider a little bit more "east asian", and particularly Japanese, in their design and stylings compared to the more Western-Fantasy-inspired stylings of much of the rest of the cast and setting. This is most prominent with a lot of Erune royalty or royalty-relations, like Pholia or Societte & Yuel (with the Alster royals being the notable exception). [[spoiler:The pre-Astrals Erune Kingdom that Societte and Yuel are descended from is most prominently this, as it's patterned off of Heian Japan and the big antagonist of their wider story is inspired by traditional depictions of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamamo-no-Mae Tamamo-no-Mae]].]] It's still not at all universal, though. |
| 22 | * LittleBitBeastly: All Erunes have animal ears and some also have tails. [[spoiler:As the Yuel & Societte plotline reveals, tails tend to be associated with pre-Astral War-era Erune nobility.]] |
| 23 | * MrFanservice: The Erune guys often wear outfits that show off a good amount of skin, and almost all of them are very handsome to boot. |
| 24 | * MsFanservice: One might actually think it's the Draphs who are this, but with a few (very notable and famous) exceptions, the Draph ladies are actually fairly conservative. The Erune girls, meanwhile, are almost ''universally'' dressed in skin-tight outfits that often show a lot of skin regardless and are more likely to tread into ImpossiblyCoolClothes territory. |
| 25 | * OurElvesAreDifferent: Of the fantasy races in Granblue Fantasy, Erunes share many traits usually associated with elves. They are noted to be magically gifted, are often scholarly and also rather fond of living in small villages close to nature (though it's become more and more common to see them in large towns as well). Many of the recruitable Erune characters clearly rely on magic and finesse to do damage rather than on raw strength or technology (though as always, there are exceptions). This is also reflected in their preferred weapon specialities, which are mostly of the bow, staff and spear type. Unlike typical elves, Erunes seem to live normal human lifespans. |
| 26 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: The majority of Erunes have some sort of backless outfit. [[MrFanservice Even the men]] [[http://mirror.gbf-wiki.com/index.php?plugin=attach&refer=img&openfile=3710017000_01.png aren't immune]]. There's a couple examples where it verges on the absurd, like Yuel. Older Erunes like Keehar, Sevastien, and Mishra having their backs clothed implies that it's simply a popular clothing choice that most Erune like to stick with. Interestingly, it's also rather common for them to wear a cape over their backless outfit. |
| 27 | * {{Sideboob}}: To go along with their aforementioned backless outfits, this trope is also prevalent among Erunes, especially the females. |
| 28 | * SituationalSword: The stats of Erune characters can be significantly boosted by the Spear, Bow, and Staff variants of the Bahamut weapons. |

| 34 | [[caption-width-right:350:Passionate yet Pure-Hearted]] |

| 37 | -->'''Rarity''': SSR\ |
| 38 | '''Element''': Fire, Dark (Yukata ver.), Earth (Christmas ver.)\ |
| 39 | '''Style''': Special, Balanced (Yukata ver.), Heal (Christmas ver.)\ |

| 42 | |
| 43 | Beauty and elegance are some of the words that describe this Erune dancer. Her movements drive a wild crowd and attract a lot of suitors, whom she never wanted. She longs for freedom, and the passionate love of someone worthy. |
| 44 | ---- |
| 45 | * ArousedByTheirVoice: She speaks in a very sexy and breathy manner when she's in the "mood" to speak with the person whom she has an infatuation to. Vyrn even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the trope, and admits that he blushes whenever Anthuria speaks like this. |
| 46 | * DanceBattler: All of her abilities in-game are basically referring to dance moves, as she is a dancer by profession. |
| 47 | * DoubleEntendre: Thanks to her infatuation with the captain, conversations with her may end up dripping with this. An example being her second Valentine's Day scene: |
| 48 | -->'''Anthuria''': Hey, (Captain). I have a Valentine's Day present for you. Won't you accept?\ |
| 49 | Teehee, it's not chocolate... ''I'm'' the present...\ |
| 50 | Go ahead, (Captain), and have a taste...\ |
| 51 | '''Captain''': ... |
| 52 | * DudeMagnet: Thanks to her graceful and charming dances, Anthuria has attracted a lot of male fans, and most (if not all) of them later became her unwanted suitors. |
| 53 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: If her Yukata fate episode is any indication. |
| 54 | * FallingIntoHisArms: Falls into the captain's arms as she faints from having the corrupted Klesha removed from her in "Auld Lanxiety". |
| 55 | * FashionableAsymmetry: She wears a black sleeve on her left arm while the other side doesn't have any. |
| 56 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Anthuria's dialogue will often leave the captain in a dazed or charmed state, prompting Lyria to speak this trope word by word in one of her Fate Episodes, and during the "Auld Lanxiety" event. |
| 57 | * IfItsYouItsOkay: In her second Fate episode, she allows the protagonist to comb her hair, something that she doesn't want her other "suitors" to touch. |
| 58 | * TheImmodestOrgasm: |
| 59 | ** As written in SoMuchForStealth, this is what gives away the position of the player's group from the thugs. |
| 60 | ** She lets out some breathy gasps and sexual noises while dancing in the first chapter of "Auld Lanxiety". [[spoiler:Her defining trait is actually ''worsened'' by the Klesha of Lust at this point.]] |
| 61 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: In her first fate episode, she doesn't exactly realize that some of the things she say can be taken in the [[DoubleEntendre wrong way]]. Evident that Lyria thought her interest of the protagonist is her trying to tempt and seduce them. |
| 62 | * LoveAtFirstSight: How she became infatuated with the protagonist. |
| 63 | * OutOfCharacter: During the "Auld Lanxiety" event, after she was infected by the Klesha of [[SevenDeadlySins Lust]], she even takes the first step in seducing the protagonist while caressing hands with him/her. Note that this is coming from an Erune who easily panics when being touched by the player character. |
| 64 | * RandomNumberGod: Her third skill allows her to heal the party, and her passive allows her to gain a stackable increase in attack for herself every time she successfully dodges enemy attacks. The problem lies in the mechanic that dodging is entirely dependent on chance, and her usefulness will vary depending on how lucky the player is with her dodges. |
| 65 | * ShipTease: On some level it might not be "teasing" when Anthuria openly ''desires'' the Captain, but the game doesn't force you into a relationship with her if you get her, so technically it remains teasing. Especially with things like her second Valentine's event, though, her feelings are ''not'' hidden, what with doing things like a "the gift is me" ploy (and then being too embarrassed to actually do it). |
| 66 | ** Her summer version fate episode cranks this up to 11, to the point where you’re not even given the option as the player to not feed into her attraction to you, with the protagonist even holding hands with her. As well, Of the two options to compliment her, one is “I could look at you forever” compared to the more or less tame “You look amazing”. |
| 67 | * SingleTargetSexuality: The only person that has ever caught Anthuria's eye is the protagonist and she firmly rejects romantic proposals from others. |
| 68 | * SoBeautifulItsACurse: Anthuria's beautiful appearance and dancing causes nothing but unwanted attention for her. |
| 69 | * SoMuchForStealth: Her second Fate Episode has her running away from a group of suitors with the help of the Captain, Lyria, and Vyrn. When the four of them decided to hide in a narrow space between two walls, the captain's hand accidentally tickles Anthuria. The Erune's sudden orgasms then gives off their presence to the suitors. |

| 101 | ---- |
| 102 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The "Yesterday's Scars and Tomorrow's Hopes" event focuses on her, and is also the event's free character. |
| 103 | * AutomaticCrossbows: Her weapon is this, as seen in her Charge Attack where she fires multiple bolts. |
| 104 | * BadassAdorable: She's young and cute but she passed the test to become a Guardian and knows how to wield that crossbow that she's lugging around. |
| 105 | * CharacterTics: Her ears twitch in her victory animation pose. |
| 106 | * DeadlyTrainingArea: She had to go through the Cave of Trials to prepare herself as the next Guardian. |
| 107 | * DelicateAndSickly: When she was even younger then she is now, she was struck down with a sickness and unable to go through the regular bow training for Guardians like Sutera. |

| 122 | A daredevil surfer loving the freedom of the oceans. |
| 123 | ---- |
| 124 | * BadassNormal: Is notably just a surfer amidst a crew possibly filled with old seasoned warriors. While [[Characters/GranblueFantasyHumansFToN Joel]] is also initially presented as "just a swimmer", he makes a point of letting the crew know that he knows a bit of magic, which is not the case for Cailana. |
| 125 | * ChallengeSeeker: Aims to surf on the waves created by Leviathan, as no one has ever attempted before. |
| 126 | * ChildhoodFriends: Her Cross Fate Episode with Joel reveals that they've known each other for a long time, and have bonded over their [[CommonalityConnection shared love]] of the sea. |
| 127 | * HowManyFingers: In her SR Fate Episode, Cailana has to answer this question from a doctor after she recovers from nearly drowning. |

| 163 | |
| 164 | A bewitching phantom thief known for disappearing into the darkness in a puff of smoke along with her prey. She joins the crew when the player incidentally learns her real name and sees through one of her disguises. |
| 165 | ---- |
| 166 | * BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler:Pretends that a certain mansion is her secret hideout. However, that mansion was actually occupied by a wanted criminal. And when Vyrn makes a ruckus of being lied upon by Catherine, Rick arrives in the scene out of curiosity and catches said criminal on the spot. Another lackey tries to exit from the commotion but Catherine was able to catch him on his way out.]] |
| 167 | * BalanceBuff: Her entire skillset has been buffed and/or reworked on May 2018, the notable changes being the addition of two unique enemy debuffs - "Enticed" and "Nightsmoke's Prey", along with a unique status buff to Catherine which increases her damage against those inflicted with the latter debuff. Her first skill also gained a conditional back-up effect in case the Enticed debuff fails, and her second skill also boosts her Charge Bar if the conditional Delay is successful. All of these in exchange for longer cooldowns to her three skills. |
| 168 | * BecauseImGoodAtIt: The reason she steals things is because stealing is the only thing that's helped her survive up till now. It's how she has lived her life and survived and holds no regrets for doing so. |
| 169 | * CharmPerson: Her first ability allows her to apply the unique Entice status, which has the same effect but stacks with other Charm abilities, essentially doubling its effectiveness. If that fails, it will try to apply a regular Charm instead. Her Charge Attack is even named "Kiss of Death" to hint on this trope. |
| 170 | * ClassyCatBurglar: In a literal sense, she's a CatGirl Erune phantom thief. |
| 171 | * CleavageWindow: Present in her SR version's attire. |
| 172 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Charm and Entice are implied to work like this. This doesn't show up often in her Fate Episodes, however. |
| 173 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: She doesn't steal just for herself, but as a "professional thief" she takes on requests. Even that has limitations as she rejects robbery requests from corrupt individuals even if they bribe her a fortune. |
| 174 | * {{Foil}}: To Chat Noir. Both are master thieves being pursued by a somewhat incompetent detective, but where Chat Noir is bombastic and dramatic, making his name known throughout the world, Catherine is subtle and secretive, taking great pains to make sure absolutely no one knows who she is and that no evidence can be traced back to her. Additionally, Chat Noir sees his heists as works of art, takes great pride in his "performances", and steals because he genuinely enjoys it, while Catherine feels that thievery, no matter the reason, is a dirty and underhanded job reserved for the lowest rungs of society, and remains a thief simply because it's the only thing she's ever known and has nothing and no one else to turn to. |
| 175 | * GunsAkimbo: Shown when she uses her charge attack as a finisher. |
| 176 | * HatesBeingTouched: She doesn't mind doing the touching, as she can mentally prepare herself before hand, but being touched unexpectedly, however lightly, makes her supremely uncomfortable and embarrassed. She claims it's due to her always hiding herself. |
| 177 | * IHaveManyNames: As part of her gimmick, she has many aliases to prevent being tracked by detectives like Rick or Barawa. |
| 178 | * KickChick: Those sharp heels are her primary weapon in combat. |
| 179 | * LivingADoubleLife: Works in the Kitten Cafe as "Cathy" by day and a thief named "Nightsmoke" by night. |
| 180 | * MasterOfDisguise: The Player Character is the only person who's been able to see through her otherwise flawless disguises. |
| 181 | * OffscreenTeleportation: [[spoiler:Catherine suddenly disappears from the ship when Lyria and Vyrn turn their attention away from her for a short moment, when Rick was just in time to inquire the crew about Nightsmoke's whereabouts.]] |
| 182 | * RedBaron: Nightsmoke |
| 183 | * ThemeNaming: Her RedBaron and Fate Episode titles all contain the word "smoke". |

| 235 | ** She greets the captain a happy birthday by saying "HBD" four times. She also does this again during New Years, saying "HNY". She even teaches Lyria the meaning of "BFF". |
| 236 | ** Chloe has a "[[https://gbf.wiki/images/b/bd/Stamp169.png QT]]" Raid Sticker. And since players can outright ''spam'' stickers when in a raid, this trope can even take full effect in-game! |

| 238 | * BornInTheWrongCentury: Really, no one is quite sure how someone from a medieval-ish fantasy world ended up a stereotypical modern high schooler. |
| 239 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Her summer outfit has knee straps on her left leg. |
| 240 | * JumpedAtTheCall: She immediately joins in on the crew after seeing them fight and hopes to have an adventure of her own. |
| 241 | * MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Her charge attack only gives status buffs that would help the party (Skill/summon cooldown, attack and defense buffs) or give the petrify debuff to an enemy. |
| 242 | * MotorMouth: She is quite the chatterbox. |
| 243 | * TheNicknamer: She also gives affectionate nicknames to some of the crew members. |
| 244 | * SwitchOutMove: All three versions have a skill which allows Chloe to swap positions with a selected backline party member. |
| 245 | * TanLines: In SR Cailana's episode, Chloe's bra was caught in the waves when she fell on the surfboard, leaving bra-shaped tan lines. |
| 246 | * TotallyRadical: Chloe will occasionally speak in this manner like saying "for realz" or "lolz". At one point, she even refers to the Grandcypher as "G. Cyph". |
| 247 | * VerbalTic: Speaks like she's on the internet, complete with {{Emoticon}}s and abuse of lol/wwwwww[[note]]the japanese equivalent (w standing for ''wara''/laugh)[[/note]]. |

| 260 | |
| 261 | A partner of [[Characters/GranblueFantasyDraph Sturm]] and a mercenary who worked for the Erste Empire and serves loyalty to the [[Characters/GranblueFantasyHumansAToE Black Knight]]. |
| 262 | |
| 263 | For tropes pertaining to Sturm and Drang as a duo, see Characters/GranblueFantasyAntagonists |
| 264 | ---- |
| 265 | * AbusiveParents: His parents weren't exactly the caring kind, and his mom in particular considered him a troublemaker. It's to the point that young Drang is shown crying into his grandmother's lap. |
| 266 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Is the character of the day together with Sturm in the event "Sturm and Drang, A Mercenary's Life". Detailing on how Drang and Sturm first met. |
| 267 | * AmusingInjuries: He just keeps getting stabbed by Sturm. It's always PlayedForLaughs and never leaves lasting injuries (or holes in his clothes for that matter). His "low HP" pose in the game also depicts him in a much more comical way than other characters. |
| 268 | * BeamSpam: Drang's first Skill Fair Trick, has him send down a barrage of blue water-based lasers from the sky. |
| 269 | * BadassInDistress: While the crew was searching for a sky map piece in Mephorash [[spoiler:he was captured by the Golden Knight's subordinates, Anissida and Hailak.]] |
| 270 | * ChivalrousPervert: Drang flirts with several female characters (or [[CuteMonsterGirl Monster Girls]]) they come across, with Sturm having to reprimand him for this often, usually by poking him with her sword. |
| 271 | * CannotSpitItOut: Non-romantic variant. He drops several big hints that [[spoiler: he is Ferry's grandnephew]], but ends up diverting attention away from what he said. |
| 272 | -->'''Drang''': Well of course. It's a nickname [[spoiler: my granny]] gave you ... |
| 273 | -->[[spoiler:'''Ferry''']]: Huh? Wait, what did you just say? |
| 274 | -->'''Drang''': [[ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject Aaaanyway! What's all this talk of music I overheard?]] |
| 275 | * CostumeEvolution: His outfit has undergone a few changes by the time we see him again in the second arc, most noticeably his cape is now black and blue instead of the old white. |
| 276 | * FireForgedFriends: With Sturm. They've been through so much together that they're basically inseparable. |
| 277 | * GatheringSteam: Like Sturm, he gains passive stat bonuses which stack every turn, depending on the status of his Switcheroo ability. |
| 278 | * HiddenDepths: Despite his goofy, perverted, and somewhat comedic antics, Drang really cares about his family and friends, a trait being highlighted by his Fate Episodes. |
| 279 | ** He truly loves his grandmother, to the point that his motivation of becoming a skyfarer is to take her to the Mist-Shrouded Isle. But he didn't get to fulfill this promise as she died while he was still young. So the little thing that he could only do was to bring a flower from that island as a souvernir to her tombstone. [[spoiler:He also quite heartily approves of his grand-aunt Ferry getting to have a kind of second life as a member of the Grandcypher crew, despite (or perhaps because of) her condition.]] |
| 280 | ** Drang hates it when someone mentions Sturm becoming fed up with him (which is entirely false, since she becomes worried when Drang gets into trouble, [[{{Tsundere}} she just can't say it out loud]]). Drang also mentions the feeling of being with Sturm as "liberating". |
| 281 | ** The first time when he shows clearly no signs of hostility towards the Grandcypher party is when they are at the Mist-Shrouded Isle. He popped up out of nowhere when the Erune ghost girl is thinking about what name should they call her, to which Drang immediately replies "Ferry". |
| 282 | ** He's surprisingly knowledgeable about music and puts these skills to good use in his live performance with Ferry and Sierokarte. |
| 283 | * {{Keet}}: Drang is very excitable about pretty much anything. |
| 284 | * LovableSexManiac: Drang's perverted tendencies get exaggerated in his ''Grand Blues!'' appearances, no longer turning him into the ChivalrousPervert of his actual counterpart. To note, he owns and shamelessly brings out ''dakimakuras'' of Narmaya and Vira (both of which get ripped by Sturm), openly admits being flustered at the {{Fanservice}} designs of the Levin Sisters, and also calls Albert a fellow "[[Anime/ArakawaUnderTheBridge Man of Culture]]" in Comic #1076. |
| 285 | * MakingASplash: Drang is a Water element character. |
| 286 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: He usually acts like an airheaded buffoon, leading to people underestimating him. In truth, he is easily one of the most cunning and intelligent characters in the main story, easily manipulating even someone like [[spoiler:the Golden Knight.]] |
| 287 | * OhCrap: In his first Fate Episode, he was supposed to meet Sturm in a bar but he doesn't know where. Drang gets a brief moment of this when he realized that he went to the wrong one. It turns out he asked Orchis for directions, but didn't let the little girl to finish her statement and so, Drang just made an assumption. |
| 288 | --> "She's gonna have my head on a stick! A platter! Oh, and the stabbings! The stabbings!" |
| 289 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His fate episode all but states that "Drang" isn't his real name. |
| 290 | * PromotedToPlayable: A playable character as of May 2017 and part of the Grand series characters along with Sturm. |
| 291 | * TheSocialExpert: Drang's very good with people and he usually controls the conversation with anyone. Unless it's Sturm. |
| 292 | * StanceSystem: Switcheroo can be toggled to boost Drang's Attack Specs or Defense Specs at the end of each turn. |
| 293 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He shares the same hair and ear color with [[spoiler:his grandaunt Ferry and his grandmother Firra]]. |
| 294 | * TalkingToTheDead: Drang spends the most of his second Fate Episode telling stories to his grandmother at her grave. |

| 327 | A gifted fire starter who has a penchant for... flames. Well, he is so fascinated by them that he can "snuff out lesser quality flames". |
| 328 | |
| 329 | So far, Elmott is the only character with several versions that all share the same Element of Fire, and rarity of SR. He eventually received a SSR version during September 2021 though. |
| 330 | ---- |
| 331 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: As a young boy, he was ostracized by the people of his village who were fearful of his fire magic. |
| 332 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: Elmott delivers one towards [[spoiler:the CEO of Tandem Airborne Express in "The Other Side of the Sky".]] |
| 333 | --> [[spoiler:"You saying a weakling who can't even control his own son can run a school board?"]] |
| 334 | * CommonalityConnection: The Cross-Fate Episode between Elmott and Suframare deals with the two's common ground of interest towards taking care of the younger crew members. |
| 335 | * CoolTeacher: In the "Other End of the Skies" event, he becomes a temp at Mysteria who teaches the remedial classes and tries to be a proper role model to the delinquents. In "No Rain, No Rainbow", it's mentioned that the staff from Mysteria keeps trying to hire him as a ''permanent'' teacher because of this and the students in his class, including Tsubasa, all admire him for it as they sent letters to him frequently. |
| 336 | * DeadpanSnarker: Elmott has a nasty habit of snarking without realizing it. In the Cross-Fate episode of Tsubasa and Suframare, he mentions that tongue has a "sarcastic mind of its own sometimes". Suframare then scolds Elmott and demands that he change his manner of speaking. |
| 337 | * FaceOfAThug: He's actually a pretty sweet guy, but most people don't want to know him better when he looks, sounds and acts like a complete nutjob. This trait even gets lampshaded in one of his episodes. |
| 338 | --> '''Vyrn''': Seriously? Have you seen that guy's face? He looks like a low-level goon no matter how hard you squint. |
| 339 | * FriendToAllChildren: [[HiddenDepths Surprisingly, he has a softer side to him]], as he gets along with children and as a result, is kind to them. He just has has a hard time admitting it, due to him having trouble expressing himself. |
| 340 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: It would make sense that all of his three versions are under the Element of Fire, given that he really loves flames. What other element can he be placed into? |
| 341 | * InTheHood: His initial outfit is a hooded coat. |
| 342 | * TheMentor: Serves as this by advocating for troubled kids he meets at Mysteria Academy and his SSR version reveals that he himself had to get straightened out by a farmer named Bosco to be a good person. |
| 343 | * TheMagnificent: Blazing Teacher. The "Teacher" part is highlighted by his role in "The Other Side of the Sky". Tsubasa even gets to say Elmott's title before his name during the event's epilogue. |
| 344 | * NoShirtLongJacket: He wears a coat, but it bares his entire chest and abdomen. |
| 345 | * OneNoteCook: As it turns out, he is an ''amazing'' cook as long as it involves grilling, roasting, barbecue, or other cooking methods that involve lots of fire. |
| 346 | * PowerIncontinence: Growing up, he had no idea how to properly control his fire powers and his family was too afraid to try, leaving him unable to restrain himself until Bosco came into his life and dumped various books on magic theory into his lap. |
| 347 | * PreAsskickingOneLiner: Quite a common trait of his, as he demonstrates in the Fate Episode of his "Blazing Teacher" version. |
| 348 | --> "Now we're talking. Alright, listen up kids! Pain 101's in session" |
| 349 | * PyroManiac: He loves fire to the point where he'd burn anything just to watch the fire. |
| 350 | * {{Tsundere}}: He comes off as rather rude or unsympathetic, as shown in his Fate Episode and his interactions with Kaz in a Summer Event, but he obviously cares. |
| 351 | * WalkingSwimsuitScene. Has a summer version, and you can put either version of him in a swimsuit for battle. |

| 367 | Another member of the mysterious Society. He originally joined the crew on orders of the Society to keep a close eye on Lyria's powers, and assassinate her if she looked to pose a threat to the Society. However, after growing closer to the crew, Eustace disobeys orders and decides instead to protect her and the Captain's crew from harm. |
| 368 | ---- |
| 369 | * TheAce: He was one of the Society's most promising recruits along with Ilsa in their trainee days and was stated to be proficient with all weapons, eventually becoming the contractor of the seal weapon Flamek Thunder. While she took on the role of [[DrillSergeantNasty training recruits]] and sealing dangerous weapons and Primal Beasts, he became a field operative and currently boasts the highest mission completion rate among his peers in the Society. |
| 370 | * AnimalMotif: Wolves. |
| 371 | * BadassCape: |
| 372 | ** He wears a long grey cape in his initial outfit. |
| 373 | ** Taken further in his Halloween version where Eustace basically cosplays Dracula. |
| 374 | ** His Dark version initially doesn't have him wear one, but he puts on a black one for his 5-Star uncap. |
| 375 | * BigDamnHeroes: |
| 376 | ** He rescues Lyria from a Society soldier that tries to drag her away in his Dark version's episode. |
| 377 | ** In "Home Sweet Moon", he arrives in time to [[spoiler:save Vaseraga's life by electrocuting him with a shot from Flamek, halting his disintegration after being affected by an attack from [[DisintegratorRay Yama]].]] |
| 378 | * CatchPhrase: "Peace and Quiet". He mentions these two words together in several lines of dialogue. It's also included in the title of his second Fate Episode and Vyrn also lampshades it by mentioning this exact trope. It's even the name of his ImageSong. |
| 379 | * ColdSniper: His weapon Flamek is a long rifle, and when first met in "Gripping Freedom" he's positively icy to his colleagues and the crew alike, although he warms up to them afterwards. He's also rather brusque with Cassius and Gwynne when first meeting them, but he mellows out with the former after his HeelFaceTurn in "Second Advent" and with the latter after she proves herself capable of [[spoiler:contracting with Arianensa]]. |
| 380 | * ColorMotif: Yellow, as shown by [[TheMagnificent all of his titles]] having "Thunder" in them, as well as his [[ShockAndAwe employment of lightning in battle]]. Flamek and all of his outfits also have yellow or gold accents. |
| 381 | * CutenessProximity: Mentioning dogs is a good way to get him to perk up. In the 2023 April Fool's collaboration event with Sanrio, Eustace completely ''melts'' when he meets Pompompurin. |
| 382 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: He's the SoleSurvivor of his village which was brought to ruin by the Foe, causing him to want revenge and join the Society. [[spoiler:However, it's previously implied that the weapons that destroyed his village were of the same technology that the Society uses, and "Home Sweet Moon" confirms this by revealing that his village was accidentally decimated by Heisenberg during a test run for a weapon that could counter Diaspora, as his village was so remote it wasn't on any map]]. |
| 383 | * DeviousDaggers: Starts as a mole assassin, and w ields a dagger in his Dark Version, although he ditches it when uncapped to 5 stars. |
| 384 | * DoomedHometown: "Home Sweet Moon" reveals that [[spoiler:his hometown was an accidental victim of The Foe's testing of the weapon that could counter Diaspora should the moondwellers come to invade the sky realm]]. |
| 385 | * EmpathicWeapon: Like all seal weapons, Flamek Thunder is this. |
| 386 | * EyeScream: [[spoiler:As a child, the bright flash of light from the experimental Yama permanently damaged his right eye, leaving it burnt and highly sensitive to light. He's at least still able to see out of it properly, and it [[HandicapppedBadass hardly slows him down]].]] |
| 387 | * FashionableAsymmetry: From his initial version, his uniform has belts at asymmetrical angles and has gun holsters on his right thigh. |
| 388 | * GrenadeSpam: After uncapping his Dark version to 5 stars, he will gain the skill Rat Race, which allows him to throw one of two grenades. If he performs a Charge Attack, its cooldown is cut by a third, allowing him to repeatedly pelt the enemy with grenades. |
| 389 | * GunsAkimbo: In his Dark version's first charge attack, Acidrage Howl. |
| 390 | * GunFu: Despite Flamek being roughly the size of a musket that he can sling across his back, he typically fires it while spinning in place and holding it with one hand. He also does it up close and personal in his Dead-End Shot Charge Attack. |
| 391 | * TheGunslinger: Incredibly good with guns and his gameplay gimmick revolves around him loading them with each skill he casts. He's also contracted with the seal weapon Flamek Thunder, which is a rifle, and carries a second gun on his person in his Dark version. |
| 392 | * HandicappedBadass: "Home Sweet Moon" reveals that [[spoiler:Eustace's right eye had been left severely damaged and highly sensitive to light as a result of the activation of a prototype Yama on his hometown. But that doesn't make him any less capable. He does still opt to use guns despite Ronan saying he was proficient with other weapons, so that his handicap wouldn't bite him later. He also wears a visor that guards his eye against bright lights for the battle against Diaspora, which usually remains hidden under his bangs]]. |
| 393 | * HitmanWithAHeart: Was introduced in "Gripping Freedom" under orders to assassinate Guzaletha, leader of the Odajumoki Gang [[spoiler:and a Society founder gone rogue]]. Later, he is [[spoiler:ordered to assassinate Lyria, but [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight he refuses]].]] |
| 394 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:He goes against his orders and decides not to assassinate Lyria.]] |
| 395 | * HeroesLoveDogs: A large portion of his first Fate Episode has to do with his hidden love of dogs, which Lyria finds cute. [[spoiler:This is also the first sign that he isn't as bad as he seems.]] |
| 396 | * HidingTheHandicap: His right eye is covered by his bangs. [[spoiler:It's to hide his right eye, which was damaged by the effects of an experimental Yama long ago. As a child, however, the bangs covered his left eye instead of his right]]. |
| 397 | * HighCollarOfDoom: As part of his Halloween version's outfit as a vampire. Apparently orders came on from high for both him and Beatrix to wear vampire disguises, but the latter never got them. |
| 398 | * ImageSong: [[https://youtu.be/vo-Jr3-sccE "Peace and Quiet"]]. |
| 399 | * IWorkAlone: He's usually on his own as befitting his lone wolf image, although he has been working with his fellow Society members more over time. This is actually a relevant plot point in "Home Sweet Moon", as explained under the entry for NotTheIntendedUse. |
| 400 | * MoralityChain: Eustace doesn't show it often, and [[DefrostingTheIceQueen it takes while to get there]] but he ''adores'' the crew, especially the Captain, Lyria and Vyrn. It's not hard to see why as these three were the first to treat him like a person after years of being treated like the ruthless dog of the Society and slowly brought back his humanity after deciding to be a ruthless assassin [[spoiler:in the wake of his family's death]], to the point that he considers being in the crew itself to be his peace and quiet. These feelings are so strong that he is ironically the one who is most determined in making their own faction within the Contractors to make sure nothing happens to the crew, is willing to outright betray the Society if they don't back off from their pursue of Lyria and he is even perfectly willing to kill Zooey if she proves to be a threat to Gran or Djeeta in ''Versus'' (not entirely unjustified considering the case of LawfulStupid she got in said game). |
| 401 | * NotSoAboveItAll: For all his stoic front, he has a CutenessProximity for dogs. |
| 402 | * NotSoStoic: Eustace [[spoiler:nearly loses it once he realized that Heisenberg is the one responsible for wiping out his village during testing for the superweapon Yama.]] |
| 403 | * NotTheIntendedUse: As explained in "Home Sweet Moon", Flamek's nature usually requires the user to [[IWorkAlone work on their own]], as the weapon's AreaOfEffect attacks make collateral damage a near-certainty, which is why Beatrix was often partnered with him as a test case due to being able to exploit her own weapon's CriticalStatusBuff nature upon taking friendly fire from him. As time went on and Eustace began working with his teammates more, [[EmpathicWeapon Flamek adapted]] and became capable of providing fire support when that was never its original purpose. [[spoiler:It comes back to bite him though, as along with his internal turmoil from learning the truth behind his [[DoomedHometown village's destruction]], moving away from Flamek's intended purpose made it more difficult for him to access its original destructive power. This is bad news, since the victory over the automagod Diaspora hinges on him using Flamek to scorch the entirety of its massive body before it could regenerate, although he does regain the ability to use its power in time to destroy it in the climax.]] |
| 404 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: In one of "Home Sweet Moon"'s epilogues, [[spoiler:Eustace interrupts Heisenberg's execution at Ronan's hands because he wants to kill him himself. He gets to.]] |
| 405 | * {{Revenge}}: "Home Sweet Moon" reveals that this was his motive for joining the Society, as he wants to find the ones responsible [[spoiler:for destroying his village as a child.]] |
| 406 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: To his partner Beatrix, being the calmer and colder guy to Beatrix's rash and hot-headed girl. |
| 407 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In his second Fate Episode, [[spoiler:his bosses order him to assassinate Lyria because of how dangerous she is. He crushes his communicator with them in response.]] |
| 408 | * SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: In his Dark version's uncap art, Eustace is about to shoot you. |
| 409 | * ShipTease: With the Captain. His typically icy exterior usually thaws around them, and his ImageSong features multiple lines about holding a certain someone and describing their heart's beauty as captivating. |
| 410 | * ShockAndAwe: As the name of his seal weapon, Flamek ''Thunder'', implies, one of its signature attacks is to unleash blasts of lightning, which can be seen two of his Charge Attacks, Acidrage Howl and Dead-End Fall. |
| 411 | * StealthPun: After rescuing a dog, he spots nearby monsters and says "Let's show them who the top dog is". |
| 412 | * TheStoic: He's incredibly terse with his words and rarely emotes, and is emotionally reticent to the point where his [[https://twitter.com/rackamscreams/status/1160038059187982339 Rackam]] scream is more of a mutter. |
| 413 | * TookALevelInKindness: Future events shows him being more than his stoic front, caring about his allies to a great extent with lots of (NoPunIntended) PetTheDog moments to boot. |
| 414 | * WhatTheHellHero: On the recieving end of this from the party in "Gripping Freedom", after they learn he abandoned Beatrix in enemy territory after stripping her of Embrasque, although he helps them rescue her afterwards and is EasilyForgiven, even by Beatrix. |

| 431 | A girl the crew encounters on Tramont Island, now known as the "Mist-Shrouded Isle", having been trapped there for decades. |
| 432 | |
| 433 | Ferry is one of the earliest characters in ''Granblue Fantasy'', appearing in the Mist-Shrouded Isle chapters of the main story's first arc. Similarly to Vira (who also originates from the main story), Ferry was included in the gacha as an SR character. She later received a Halloween version in 2015 and has since then become a staple character of the game's [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween events]], while being a side character every time a new Halloween-themed version of another character takes the spotlight. Her SSR version was released on January 2016, along with an ArtEvolution, and she later became a Grand Series character when her Dark SSR version was released on February 2019. She also received a summer version in August 2020. |
| 434 | ---- |
| 435 | * AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Used to do this to cheer up her sister and also seems fond of doing it to her spirit pets. On one occasion she also does this to [[spoiler:Drang]], who's probably more than [[OneHeadTaller one head taller]] than herself. |
| 436 | --->'''Ferry''': Hmm... You're taller than I expected. |
| 437 | * AlternateSelf: Her ''Grand Blues!'' comic counterpart "Ferry?" appears in the "Big Bad Shadow" event. This version of Ferry appears to be nearly cowering for most of the time, and the one who urges her fellow GagSeries to go back to their original world. |
| 438 | * ApocalypseMaiden: Potentially. [[spoiler: The Otherworld denizens took note of her powers to act as a "beacon" and plotted to abduct and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy corrupt her]], which would have allowed the [[TheLegionsOfHell Otherworld army]] to [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt materialize pretty much anywhere in the Sky Realm at will.]]]] |
| 439 | * ArcWords: Starting with her ImageSong, the word "''(to) guide''" (jp. ''"michibiku"'') seems to have become this. It's also referenced in her Grand version's combat dialogue: |
| 440 | -->'''At the start of a turn''': ''You won't get lost if I'm here to guide you.'' |
| 441 | -->'''When charge attack is ready''': ''I'll guide them ... to the place where they belong.'' |
| 442 | * ArtEvolution: Newer artwork usually depicts her with a healthier skin colour. |
| 443 | ** Also overlaps with FanservicePack as her face has clearly become ''much'' prettier in her Grand Version, and depending on the artwork, her body also appears more curvaceous. Especially noticeable since she is a ghost who explicitly doesn't age or change over time. |
| 444 | * TheBeastmaster: Ferry, in her own words, is "good at disciplining monsters". She can also summon her ghostly pets to assist in her Charge Attack. They also take on a much more active role in her later versions. |
| 445 | * BreakoutCharacter: Like Charlotta is one for the Harvins, Ferry is probably the most advertised Erune in the game. This is mostly due to the fact that she appears in the story like Vira does, and is one of the game's first introduced characters, making her popular among the Japanese (and now foreign) players. Ever since, Ferry is one of the few who have their own ImageSong singles. She also has four alternate character skins - all of which are limited, with one being an AprilFools-exclusive and the rest requiring [[BribingYourWayToVictory real cash]] to own. To elaborate further on her breakout status, Ferry is purchasable as a Leader in ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'' and is one of the first characters revealed in the roster for ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasyVersus''. |
| 446 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Shortly before dying of the same illness as her parents, she made a wish to hear her family say her name one more time. As if on cue, Celeste appeared and "stole" death from the island's inhabitants, but her parents weren't brought back to life. [[spoiler: As it turns out, her wish had nothing to do with Celeste's sudden appearance. As Drang points out, summoning a primal beast would take long preparation and knowledge of magic, or something like Lyria's power.]] In an interesting twist, her wish eventually ended up getting fulfilled, although unknown to her, as [[spoiler: Drang]] was the one to call her by her name again. |
| 447 | * BigDamnHeroes: In the "My beloved Auguste" event, she appears just in time to [[spoiler: save Meg from a monster crab]]. |
| 448 | * TheBusCameBack: Ferry makes a return in the "Wayfaring Astral" arc of the main story (specifically at Chapter 125) complete with ArtEvolution, her new sprite following that of her SSR version. |
| 449 | * BookWorm: As expected of someone who spent many decades alone. |
| 450 | ** In the anime, she says she's read all the books in the mansion. |
| 451 | --->'''Ferry''': I've had quite a bit of free time ... |
| 452 | ** While sorting through her personal belongings in her room, she has to stop herself from starting with the bookshelf or she might end up just reading books all day. Then Momo finds her long-lost diary ... |
| 453 | --->'''Narration''': Ferry grabs the diary and casually opens it up, no heed paid to her words from seconds ago. |
| 454 | * CommonalityConnection: In her summer fate episode, she befriends [[spoiler: Vira and Lecia]] due to being from the same skydom. The trio call themselves the "Phantagrande girls" and promise to meet again some day. |
| 455 | * ContinuityNod: |
| 456 | ** [[spoiler:In her Grand version's episode, Ferry is surprised to find flowers from the mist-shrouded island growing around her sister's grave. It's revealed in Drang's episode that he brought the seeds over from Tramont and planted them during his last visit.]] |
| 457 | ** When Fazal the Sage introduces himself as a strange ghost in "Dancing Avengers", Vyrn is easily reminded of Ferry, the first strange ghost whom the party ever met. |
| 458 | * CuteGhostGirl: [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness She starts out displaying the stereotypical traits associated with this]], but ends up developing into a different direction over time. |
| 459 | ** She is revealed to be a ghost when Sturm gets fed up with her unhelpful attitude and draws her sword on her, only for the phantom girl to retort that it would just pass through her with no effect. For some reason, she loses this trait once she joins the party, being as vulnerable to damage as any other character. |
| 460 | ** In her SR version's second fate episode, she inadvertently gets roped into ghost-hunting with the Captain, Lyria and Vyrn. When Ferry thinks Lyria is afraid of her because Lyria is afraid of ghosts in general, Ferry turns transparent from being depressed until Lyria assures her that she isn't afraid of Ferry. |
| 461 | ** One would think her condition would mean she [[Characters/GranblueFantasyOther would fall under a different classification]], but she's apparently still similar enough to a living Erune for it to count for all relevant gameplay purposes. |
| 462 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: And how. Her parents are dead and she hasn't seen her beloved little sister ever since the latter had left the island. By the time the party meets Ferry, she's been alone in self-inflicted isolation for 100 years, convinced that the villagers blame her for what had happened. |
| 463 | ** The anime adaptation doubles down on her tragic past: [[spoiler: Ferry has spent those 100 years invisible and completely amnesiac. From her perspective, Gran and the crew were the first people that ''ever'' noticed her existence.]] Worse yet, she was literally [[spoiler: sacrificed to Celeste so that someone else could gain immortality (though it was her who ended up with it) and then helplessly watched her father die]]. |
| 464 | * DeadPersonConversation: In the anime special, she's seen being able to talk to ghosts even before Jack reveals their presence to the living townspeople. |
| 465 | * DimensionalTraveler: Being a wandering ghost, Ferry is alive and dead at the same time. [[spoiler:It allows her to hear things that exist from the Otherworld, such as the captain calling out for help when a rift opened to the other side.]] |
| 466 | * DyingAlone: PlayedForDrama In her 5 star fate episode. [[spoiler: She eventually ends up alone in a cave after the floor collapses beneath her, all while only being hours away from succumbing completely to an exorcism spell that had been eating away at her.]] During the whole ordeal, she expresses regret at how sudden the end arrived and that she NeverGotToSayGoodbye. |
| 467 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In her initial story arc, the monsters she has befriended are just regular monsters (that the party has to fight), not her spirit pets. Yet the game retroactively establishes that her pets Nicola, Fugee, Beppo and Geegee have been with her from the very start. In her early appearances she also demonstrates that she is incorporeal, as well as the ability to turn transparent. Both abilities are never brought up again in her later versions, as her character arc became focused on her pets and on finding her sister, and less on plot elements and traits associated with stereotypical ghosts. |
| 468 | * EvilDetectingDog: Momo unexpectedly growls at [[spoiler:Ferry's sister Firra when the latter appeared out of nowhere. Ferry herself finds the dog's reaction strange, until it was revealed that an Otherworldy Being is [[VoluntaryShapeshifter just impersonating Firra]].]] |
| 469 | * ExpressiveEars: From her updated story artwork, Her ears now droop down when she is sad and perk up when she's happy. |
| 470 | * FanservicePack: She started out actually looking like a girl who died at the age of 13 with somewhat sharp facial features indicating the bratty personality she started with. Subsequent artwork progressively softened her facial features along with giving her a much more curvaceous figure that definitely wouldn't belong on the average 13 year-old. Part of it could be attributed to her growing maturity within the narrative, but it should be noted that ghosts explicitly never age. |
| 471 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Ferry always wears an earring on just her left ear. If her "Daydreams of the Past" skin is any indication, she's been doing this ever since she was a little girl. |
| 472 | * TheFinalTemptation: In her Grand fate episode, [[spoiler: her "sister" offers her the chance to reunite with her family and live on happily ever after if she'd just follow her to the Otherworld, warning her that another chance will not come. Ferry doesn't fall for it, [[ApocalypseMaiden luckily for the]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt entirety of the sky realm.]]]] Notably, even before that, she was already expressing her doubts if it would be okay to just give up her travels and leave the crew after everything they have been through together. |
| 473 | * FluffyTheTerrible: The spirit she tames in her light SSR version's fate episode is quite a bit larger than she is, and much more aggressive-looking than the others. She names him "Momo". |
| 474 | * TheFogOfAges: [[spoiler: She forgot her own name as no one's said it in many decades. Curiously, she still remembered her sister's name.]] |
| 475 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 476 | ** [[spoiler:If you pay attention to Drang's dialogue in Ferry's initial story arc, it should come as no surprise that her search for [[PosthumousCharacter her sister]] does not end well.]] |
| 477 | ** [[spoiler:Her Grand version hints on the Otherworldly invasion that is about to happen in Nalhegrandre during the third arc of the main story.]] |
| 478 | * ForgottenFirstMeeting: In her 5 star fate episode, Ferry suddenly mentions that Beppo has been by her side since before she became a ghost, which contradicts what had been established so far. She explains it as her memory from around that time still being hazy. [[spoiler: As it turns out, Ferry had met Geegee, Fugee and Nicola as well already, way back when she was just a small child.]] |
| 479 | * FriendlyTickleTorture: Courtesy of Cagliostro in ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #650, where it is revealed that Ferry is ticklish and even blushes when someone touches her armpits. |
| 480 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: In Ferry's summer version's uncap art, one can see Momo playing ball with Nicola in the background. "Playing ball" as in [[https://gbf.wiki/images/d/d6/Npc_zoom_3030310000_02.png "using Nicola as the ball"]]. |
| 481 | * GoingHomeAgain: [[spoiler:The plot of her Grand version's episode. After visiting her sister's grave on the island where she spent her last years, Ferry returns to Tramont island to hold a solitary funeral service for her. As she's still grieving at the time, she then enters her family's mansion and [[CatharticChores begins sorting through her family's belongings and cleaning the rooms]], in an attempt to find some emotional closure.]] |
| 482 | * GhostAmnesia: In season 2 of the anime,[[spoiler: she doesn't remember anything about her life or her identity before becoming a ghost.]] Not even that [[spoiler: she has a sister.]] |
| 483 | * GratuitousGerman: The skill names of her Light SSR version are all German: Vergiften ("To poison"), Grausam ("Cruel"), while Hin Liechten's appears to be derived from "Hinrichten", ("To execute"). |
| 484 | * HellbentForLeather: Her dark SSR outfit certainly looks like parts of it are made of shiny black leather and Grand Ferry is no doubt a force to be reckoned with. |
| 485 | * HiddenDepths: Her [[MsFanservice appearance as a young and curvy Erune girl]] belies a sharp mind with the ability to see through disguises, illusions and ill intentions, which is something one would especially not expect from someone who has been alone for such a long time. Cagliostro and even [[spoiler: Belial]] comment on her intellect, and these are the genius founder of alchemy and [[spoiler: the fallen angel of cunning]] we are talking about. |
| 486 | * HomeSweetHome: Is reluctant to go on an adventure at first and only leaves after some persuasion from Lyria and the captain. She also makes a vow to her deceased parents that she WILL return with her sister someday. In the home screen dialogue of her Grand version, she says outright that the mist-shrouded island is her and her family's most precious place. |
| 487 | * ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0llI2xXAGU Sora no Michishirube]]. |
| 488 | * ImposterForgotOneDetail: [[spoiler:Ferry herself deduced that the Firra she meets in her Grand version's episode is nothing but an imposter. The real Firra was too frail to go to the mountains with Ferry, yet the imposter mentioned that it "really brings back memories".]] |
| 489 | * InsaneTrollLogic: In what's probably not her brightest moment, she initially declines joining the party after Tramont island is freed to ... stay on the island, alone, and wait for her sister's return. Even though a century has passed, she says that her sister will surely return ''someday'' as she had guts and wouldn't die so easily. When Lyria asks when "someday" is, Ferry replies: |
| 490 | -->'''Ferry''': I dunno. Whenever, I guess ... [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint But thankfully I won't be getting any older]]. |
| 491 | ** It's only when Lyria suggests that they could help her find her sister that Ferry joins the crew, an idea that apparently hadn't even occured to Ferry before. |
| 492 | * {{Irony}}: Despite being a ghost herself, she's terrified of evil spirits. However, she seems to have grown out of this since taming Momo, who had become an evil spirit due to being lonely for so long and was restored to his proper form when she gave him a name. [[NotSoDifferentRemark This reminds her of her of how she had lost her way by the time the party first met her]]. |
| 493 | * ItsAllMyFault: She regrets having summoned Celeste to her island, which is why she had isolated herself from everyone else. [[spoiler: As it turns out, a supposed plague doctor summoned Celeste, in an attempt to harness its power.]] |
| 494 | * IWillFindYou: Her sole motivation for joining the party is to find her sister. At first. |
| 495 | * LethalJokeCharacter: Her Halloween SR version sees some use in high level content due to possessing a rare party-wide buff against foes in break mode, which complements characters with an "assassin"-playstyle very well. In absence of that, she is as unimpressive as other early SR characters. |
| 496 | * LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:At the end of the Mist-Shrouded Isle quest line, Drang hints she might be the girl his grandmother told him tales about, potentially making her his grandaunt. Later confirmed in their fate episodes.]] |
| 497 | * LoyalAnimalCompanion: She is accompanied by her ghost pets Fugee, Nicola, Geegee, Beppo and Momo. |
| 498 | * LookWhatICanDoNow: |
| 499 | ** As of her light SSR version, she's learned to hear and understand the voices of her ghost pets and discusses this with Lyria. |
| 500 | ** In the plot of Ferry's Grand version, [[spoiler: she encounters an otherworldly being who inadvertently makes her realize the extent of her abilities as an irregular ghost. After returning into the main story proper on Chapter 125, she then takes a lot of time to explain and demonstrate her newfound powers to the crew.]] |
| 501 | * MoodWhiplash: |
| 502 | ** After Celeste is defeated, all of the zombies on the island crumble to dust. Ferry expects that she would disappear soon after, so she starts thanking and saying tearful goodbyes to the crew. But she miraculously remains instead. Cue an annoyed Vyrn commenting on the interrupted melodrama. |
| 503 | ** Ferry requests Siero to [[spoiler: inquire on the whereabouts of her sister. She did find out that her sister was married and moved on to live on another island, making her very eager for a short while... Until of course, it's revealed that her sister has already passed on.]] |
| 504 | * MusicalEpisode: "Special Delivery", where Ferry, Sierokarte and Drang start a band and perform her ImageSong as a way to get a message accross to Ferry's sister. |
| 505 | * MythologyGag: The moveset and attack animations fo her summer version strongly reference her ''[[VideoGame/GranblueFantasyVersus Versus]]'' incarnation. |
| 506 | * NameThatUnfoldsLikeLotusBlossom: In ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #101, Zehek gives Ferry the name "Lonesome Pale Spirit Zero Grand Guignol Phantazweiss". |
| 507 | * NoSocialSkills: Since she was alone in the mansion for many decades and didn't interact with anyone for the longest time, she's often confused by figures of speech and euphemisms. |
| 508 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: If [[spoiler: Drang]] is to be believed, "Ferry" is only a nickname given to her by her sister. |
| 509 | * TheOnlyOne: Ferry is the only being in the lore of ''Granblue'' who is a ghost that can interact with the Otherworld, yet can still live in the physical world at the same time. This makes her an irregularity even from the eyes of Otherworldly Beings. |
| 510 | -->'''Otherworldly Being''': Haven't you figured it out by now? Your ability to thrive on the brink of existence makes you special. |
| 511 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: Technically, she is a ghost and has been dead for a very long time, it's just that she never aged. Add to the fact that while she stayed in the Mist-Shrouded Isle, she still has a beautiful physical body that did not even rot, as compared to the rest of the island's citizens who are extremely pale and visibly resembling ghouls or zombies. [[spoiler:While the other citizens of Mist-Shrouded Isle fade as Celeste is defeated, she did not]]. Lastly, everyone can physically interact with her like any living being. She explains and demonstrates more of her other ghostly abilities on Chapter 125, as stated in DimensionalTraveler, VoluntaryShapeshifting, WillingChanneler and SpiritAdvisor. |
| 512 | * SailorFuku: Her default SR outfit has elements of this. |
| 513 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: She stands out even amongst other Erunes for how much of her back is usually uncovered and for how much focus it gets in her artworks and poses. In Grand Blues! [[http://game-a1.granbluefantasy.jp/assets_en/img/sp/assets/comic/episode/episode_1250.jpg issue 1250]], she even manages to [[DistractedByTheSexy inadvertently distract]] [[RunningGag Io]]. |
| 514 | * ShipTease: She becomes quite affectionate towards the Captain and often asks their opinion on how her outfits look. This is toned down in her later apperances as they tend to separate her from the player character. |
| 515 | * ShyBlueHairedGirl: She's got low self-esteem and distrusts strangers, at least until [[CharacterDevelopment character development]] sets in. Even in life, she considered her sister the sociable one among the two. |
| 516 | * SignificantWardrobeShift: As she feels that she's changed a lot since she started travelling with the crew, Ferry (light SSR version) thought that it was time for a new outfit. Said new outfit includes [[CombatStilettos high-heeled boots]] and shows off her back and shoulders due to lacking a cape. She had it tailor-made specificially to be more "grown-up" than the clothes given to her by her parents. The player can choose a dialogue option to tease her about this: |
| 517 | -->'''Captain''': ''Oh, you're all grown up all right.'' |
| 518 | -->'''Ferry''': ''That...! That's not a very captain-like response!'' |
| 519 | * SpiritAdvisor: Ferry's ability to travel between the realm of the living and the dead allows her to act as a beacon to guide those trapped in the Otherworld. But she can't pull them, as her actions are limited to what apparitions do. |
| 520 | * StealthPun: As she explains her ghostly capabilities in Chapter 125, these would make her reference two known aspects about the dead in popular culture. |
| 521 | ** While she is technically a ghost, Ferry counts herself as someone who is both dead and alive, which grants her DimensionalTraveler powers from the physical realm and the Otherworld, and she's an Erune with cat-like ears. These traits are a reference to UsefulNotes/SchrodingersCat. |
| 522 | ** Ferry can also act as a guide (or a "beacon" as she calls herself) to those who are trapped and lost in the Otherworld to find their way, but she doesn't have the ability to pull them back to the living world. These are allusions to what the TheFerryman does, in addition to being a PunnyName or a MeaningfulName to Ferry herself. |
| 523 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her [[SexySantaDress Santa Minidress]]. It's extremely low-cut at the sides, much moreso than her other outfits, and even adds a glimpse of [[UnderBoobs the undersides of her breasts]]. The kicker? She chose it herself (unlike her Halloween outfit, which took her some getting used to), apparently after trying on an entire wardrobe of outfits. |
| 524 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: She shares the same hair and ear color with her sister and [[spoiler:her grandnephew Drang]]. |
| 525 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Ferry is cold and distrustful towards strangers and can appear condescending and surprisingly confident towards her opponents and when she's annoyed. Towards her friends, she is very sweet and often shows signs of being self-conscious. |
| 526 | * TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential: Ferry's Grand Version deals with the benefits of being an irregular ghost. [[spoiler:Surprisingly, it is one Otherworldy Being who tells Ferry her special nature, and the things that she can do from existing in both planes. (The Otherworldy Being explains these abilities in the hopes of recruiting Ferry as their guidepost). Ferry was able to re-summon her ghost pets into the physical plane from the Otherworld, and this power makes her useful as she [[TheBusCameBack returns to the main story]] later on.]] |
| 527 | * UncannyAtmosphere: [[spoiler:Despite being able to "reunite" with her sister, Ferry is still uneased after leaving their home, as her happiness at that time seemed TooGoodToBeTrue. But not even thick fog gathering and the sudden appearance of monsters on the otherwise empty island shatter the illusion. She only realized that something is indeed wrong when she returned to their home and noticed that her ghost pets are no longer there. All the time when Ferry was outside, the Firra she was bonding with a while ago was nothing but a [[VoluntaryShapeshifter shapeshifting]] Otherworldly Being.]] |
| 528 | * UselessAccessory: It's never made clear what the huge flask is for that she wears on her belt, but it's apparently important enough that it's a part of most of her outfits. This gets even more curious in the anime, where it's shown that [[spoiler: she's been wearing it even before becoming a ghost]]. |
| 529 | * VagueAge: According to her profile, Ferry died at the age of ''13'', yet her innocent mentality and mannerisms despite having a well-endowed body suggest that this is a case of YoungerThanTheyLook. |
| 530 | ** Her height is given as 145cm (without the ears), shorter than Lyria and believeable for someone of that age ... [[InformedAttribute Except her artwork doesn't really reflect this.]] |
| 531 | ** Her appearance in season 2 of the anime makes this even more confusing, as her facial features would at times make her appear like a young adult rather than an early teen. |
| 532 | ** This also overlaps with OlderThanTheyLook, as she is technically many decades old during which her appearance hasn't changed in the slightest. She explicitly says in her [[MusicalEpisode "Special]] [[ImageSong Delivery"]] episode that she still looks the same as back then. |
| 533 | * VocalEvolution: Over time, her voice became deeper and more mature-sounding, perhaps reflecting her CharacterDevelopment. This even applies to her [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela English dub]]: As a guest character in [[Videogame/ShadowVerse Shadowverse]] she sounds like a sassy child. In Videogame/GranblueFantasyVersus, her normal speaking voice is considerably more mature. |
| 534 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: As she explains in Chapter 125, her spirit pets can shapeshift into her form acting as a medium for her. |
| 535 | * WalkingTheEarth: [[spoiler:She decides to leave her former home behind and look at what's changed in the world as part of forming her new identity.]] |
| 536 | * WhipOfDominance: She has a magically enhanced whip as her primary weapon and true to the trope, she is also TheBeastmaster and wears a pretty [[{{Stripperiffic}} revealing outfit]] with [[DressedLikeADominatrix dominatrix overtones]]. GameplayAndStorySegregation is in effect, however, since whips are not a weapon class in the game, she's considered a dagger specialist. In ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasyVersus'' she does finally get to actually fight with her whip, allowing her to deal damage from afar, [[YouWillNotEvadeMe pull opponents closer]], [[BuildingSwing swing from the stage ceiling for extra mobility]] and do other cool and impossible stuff. |
| 537 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: Due to being technically dead, it is strongly implied that she [[CompleteImmortality is completely immortal]], which for a while makes Ferry ponder if [[BarredFromTheAfterlife she will ever get to meet her family in the afterlife]]. In her Happy Holidays dialogue, she also laments the fact that she can't age, as she would've liked to be (like) a grandma at some point, if only to give cookies to kids as holiday presents. |
| 538 | * WidowsWeeds: [[spoiler:Her Grand version's purple-black attire is the mourning gown of her mother, now fitting Ferry just fine.]] |
| 539 | * WillingChanneler: [[spoiler:The Ferry you meet in Chapter 125 is actually Momo shapeshifting into her form, with the real one simply channeling herself through this new image speaking in her own voice.]] |

| 573 | * BalanceBuff: Received an update on December 2021, making her skills more potent as to allow her to contribute more significantly before kicking the bucket. |
| 574 | * CountingBullets: Freezie only has three “Ammunition” on her, meaning she can only use her first skill three times before becoming completely unusable. The only way to replenish her ammo is by reviving her. |
| 575 | ** Her Dark Essence is this as well. Unlike her ammo, however, she cannot replenish this by reviving if she has already used it. |
| 576 | * CrutchCharacter: Though her insanely high numbers from her spider form and useful buffs have a lot of mileage for an early-game player, she doesn't have enough uptime to sustain herself to make it worth bringing her to higher level battles. |
| 577 | * DamselOutOfDistress: Funnily enough, she's more likely to get out of a sticky situation and rescue Tomoi all by herself even in his dreams. |
| 578 | * DiscardAndDraw: From a gameplay standpoint. Freezie was designed to be expendable from the get-go, allowing players to bring forth a better character after she dies. |
| 579 | * DubNameChange: Known as Fu-chan in the Japanese version. |
| 580 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: An enforced trope. WordOfGod has declared that “Fantasy” alt characters can only be implemented for characters who are already playable, while acknowledging Freezie as the only exception due to existing before they made this decision. |
| 581 | * EasyAmnesia: In her 2nd Fate Episode, she loses her memory after crashlanding on an uninhabited island. |
| 582 | * MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Her Dark Mutation mode turns her into a full-on boss that takes up the entire party, with all other party members retreating until she's gone. In fact, the devs created an entire help section just for her the moment she was introduced. |
| 583 | * NoSell: She's completely immune to debuffs and has very high defenses which can mitigate most attacks during Dark Mutation mode. |
| 584 | * OneWingedAngel: She can transform into her SpiderTank Dark Mutation mode with her third skill. |
| 585 | * PinocchioNose: In Chapter 4 of the "L.E.T.S. H.A.N.G." event, Tomoi notes that when Freezie lies, one of her ears droops. |
| 586 | * PromotedToPlayable: Following Lady Katapillar's example, she becomes a playable character through an in-universe example of {{Defictionalization}}. She is also the first character to have her boss form fully accessible, complete with a more realistic sprite. |
| 587 | * SuicideAttack: Does one if she survives all five turns of her Dark Mutation mode. She even gives the party a parting gift by debuffing all foes with defense down. |

| 603 | |
| 604 | The Luminary Knight who oversees the Istavion Kingdom, and daughter of the True King of Istavion. |
| 605 | |
| 606 | Originally a major recurring antagonist in the Dawning Sky arc, she was added to the pool of playable characters during the September 2020 Flash Gala as a limited Grand character. |
| 607 | ---- |
| 608 | * AgeGapRomance: While not quite a romance, she's legally married to the protagonist as of the True King's decree in the main story despite her being 28 and the protagonist still presumably being 15. |
| 609 | * AmbiguouslyBi: [[https://twitter.com/Shock_and_Roll/status/1306628846897201153 Doesn't seem to mind]] getting married to the Captain and travelling the world with them, regardless of their gender. Her Fate Episode reinforces this, where she reiterates that even now, she wouldn't have turned down the proposal. |
| 610 | * ArrangedMarriage: She ends up in one with the protagonist in the main story after her father abidicates the throne, forcing them to take up his role as the new True King in his stead. While she claims it's only for public image purposes, it would seem that she doesn't actually mind this due to her interest in marrying them in the first place. She also immediately begins referring to them as "my partner". |
| 611 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Comes with the territory of being the Luminary Knight, it's notable in that though she's the True King's daughter, she had to earn the position regardless of birth and has the strength to back it up. |
| 612 | * CharacterDevelopment: Goes through quite a bit of in the 3rd story arc. She reaches a turning point in chapter 131-132 and her character arc concludes in her Fate Episode, wherein she resolves to [[spoiler:remain as the Golden Knight, despite previously relinquishing the title, due to deeming it to be an irreplaceable aspect of her—as her legacy.]] |
| 613 | * ChainmailBikini: Somewhat averted in that she has a reasonably tough looking plate armor... until you realize that it's both backless and that she has a huge gap of armor at her hips to expose her black thong. She ''IS'' an Erune, after all. |
| 614 | * ComicallySerious: She's not fond of jokes and finds the crew's levity during dangerous situations to be very off-putting. |
| 615 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: After [[spoiler:rebelling against the True King, he strips her of his title and forces her to act as his royal heir as princess of Istavion. Eventually she realizes during her boredom as princess that she envies the spark and determination that the Captain and Pholia have in blazing their own path through life. She then resolves to become the Golden Knight once more and chase down the Captain to determine whether they truly are an ally worth fighting with.]] |
| 616 | * DualBoss: [[spoiler:With Baragona in chapter 93.]] |
| 617 | * DualWielding: She uses two swords in combat. |
| 618 | * EmbarrassingNickname: [[spoiler:She becomes increasingly annoyed with the Captain calling her "Ally" ("Alliah-chan" in Japanese) after she saves Pholia. Naturally, Rosetta's the one who coined the nickname.]] |
| 619 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After hearing about the atrocities the True King did in Nalhegrande and the destructive power of the Great Wall, she turns against him and encourages the crew to go and destroy the weapon.]] |
| 620 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She tends to jump to conclusions on others, seeing the worst in any situation, while glossing over the actions of those she trusts. [[spoiler:Namely her attitude towards the Scarlet Knight, who even mentions she's has facts when accusing him, but not the intent behind why said facts happend. She also sees her father the True King as righteous, when he's actually far more evil and cruel than she realizes and he doesn't try to hide it.]] |
| 621 | * PowerCopying: She can copy one of her ally's skills, or even one of her own, with her third skill. |
| 622 | * PromotedToPlayable: Added to the gacha pool during the September 2020 Flash Gala. |
| 623 | * SayingTooMuch: She accidentally reveals to [[spoiler:Drang]] that she is not from the Phantagrande skydom. It's especially bad considering that ''she'' was the one doing the interrogating. |
| 624 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: Despite wearing full plate armor and having ''literally every other part'' of her body being covered in armor, she's an Erune and has to expose her back, regardless of the consequences. |
| 625 | * SpamAttack: Her charge attack goes off twice per round under an easily fulfilled set of conditions, and every time it does, it further reduces the cooldown of her skills. With the right team composition, Alliah can potentially unleash her charge attack twice ''every single round'' for a significant portion of the battle. |
| 626 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: She's not exactly thrilled to work with Baragona and [[spoiler:Gilbert]], but had to do it because of orders from the True King. |
| 627 | * WhenSheSmiles: [[spoiler:Despite her distaste for jokes and humor, she finds her act of defiance via reclaiming her identity as the Golden Knight to the True King to be the most singularly joyous event in her life for finally deciding her own path. Anissida and Hailak are stupefied at seeing their commander actually laugh for once in her life.]] |

| 642 | A fallen princess of a kingdom she helped to overthrow, she now wanders the sky to gather experience for her people. Heles belongs to the knights of Irestill, alongside Naoise, her brother Seruel and the true dragon Scathacha. The four are almost always seen together during Irestill-focused events such as "A Hero's Return" and "Bzzt! Amped-Up Summer". |
| 643 | ---- |
| 644 | * BadassInDistress: In the "Bzzt! Amped-Up Summer" event, [[spoiler:Heles gets kidnapped by the Mafia as she and the crew were coming up to stop them and the electric eal problem. Worth noting, she mentions earlier that she could actually beat the Capo all by herself, but she was bound by this point and heavily outnumbered.]] |
| 645 | * BattleBallgown: Her Wind version's attire. It was originally planned by her officers to be simply a ceremonial gown that she wears only during the festival. But Heles suggested that she would also need some armor in it just in case she decides to wear it during combat. |
| 646 | * CleavageWindow: All of her outfits reveal her cleavage. |
| 647 | * ContinuityNod: The fate episode of her Wind version takes place after the events of "Hero's Return" and references some bits of Scathacha's own episode. Heles's episode in this case would start off with [[CharacterNarrator her narration]] of the previous incidents leading up to the current situation. |
| 648 | * CoolBigSis: To her brother Seruel. |
| 649 | * {{Expy}}: Visually, she's really an Erune version of Silva. |
| 650 | * ParentalSubstitute: Along with her son Naoise who was still a baby back then, Elisheba adopted and raised Heles and Seruel when their mother Mugain passed away. |
| 651 | * RunningGag: As seen in the summer episodes of the Irestill knights and the "Bzzt! Amped-Up Summer" event, Heles will give a DeathGlare to Seruel and physically silence him everytime he brings up an embarrassing incident from their childhood. |
| 652 | * SadisticChoice: Was forced into this in the "Bzzt! Amped-Up Summer" event. Either [[spoiler:she becomes the Capo's bride and release her friends, or refuse and have them released to the electric eals]]. |
| 653 | * ShelteredAristocrat: Because of her royal lineage, their father is very strict and stern when he finds out that Heles pestered Elisheba to teach her some commoner skills like making tea and cakes. But in spite of his orders, she was still able to learn them upon growing up. |
| 654 | --> '''Connor''': You are a princess. Don't pretend to be something you are not. |
| 655 | * ShipperOnDeck: In ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #1097, Heles teaches Scathacha the concept of kissing when she saw two couples in the distance doing it. She tries to tease Scathacha into doing it for Naoise but the little Erune-dragon kissed her cheek instead. |
| 656 | * SimilarItemConfusion: As she elaborates in Naoise's Summer episode, Heles recalled that she once mistook salt for sugar and sprinkled the salt on cookie batter. |

| 671 | An Erune who traveled with his sword-dancing partner, Gayne. After having a falling out with her, he encounters the Crew and joins them, as he had nowhere else to go. |
| 672 | ---- |
| 673 | * AlliterativeName: '''He'''lnar '''He'''uster. |
| 674 | * DanceBattler: Picked this up from Gayne. It is much more apparent in his 5★ upgrade's charge attack animation. |
| 675 | * GratuitousSpanish: The name of his 5★ upgrade's charge attack means Sword Dance in Spanish. None of his other skills, his design or his backstory point to any reference of any culture or legend of Spanish origin, which makes this all the more egregious. |
| 676 | * HairFlip: In his summer version's art, Helnar combs his hair up with his hand. |
| 677 | * HandsomeLech: He's one of these and this was the main reason why Gayne got so fed up with him and left. |
| 678 | * HiddenDepths: He is shown to be really good with tinkering with machines somehow, and his 5★ upgrade Fate Episode has him winning a tournament on his own. He's not just some silly womanizing Erune. |
| 679 | * MrFixit: As shown in the event "A Slice of Summer" and the beginning of his 5★ upgrade Fate Episode, he is shown to know how to draw up blueprints and fix up his robot-bird friend with relative ease. |
| 680 | * PervertRevengeMode: Is on the receiving end of this in ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #1093 where he unknowingly flirted with Io and called her a babe with a super sexy pose. He gets strangled by Lecia as a result. |

| 697 | |
| 698 | A sergeant of the Society, whose duty as a Sealer is to use her weapon to nullify particularly dangerous Primal Beasts and weapons. She commands her cadets mercilessly, but only out of a desire to keep them alive. Her seal weapon is the Gun of Arbitration, Nybeth. |
| 699 | ---- |
| 700 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Used to be this when she was a young recruit in the Society, which caused her to butt heads with Eustace and her drill instructor. [[PrideBeforeAFall She quickly grew out of it]], however. |
| 701 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Has a fairly high ranking within the Society and can kick ass. |
| 702 | * BadassCape: Ilsa wears capes in all three of her outfits, with matching colors as her clothes. |
| 703 | * BottomlessMagazines: Like most other gun-users, though not quite as ridiculous in her Earth version - she still has to reload after nine shots, but she never runs out of bullets to reload with. |
| 704 | * ComboRifle: Ilsa's seal weapon, Nybeth, takes the form pair of pistols that she can conjoin into a small crossbow-like rifle, which she wields one-handed for her Charge Attacks and has the power to seal primal beasts and dangerous weapons like automagods. When released, it has the ability to momentarily stun whatever she shoots along with amplifying its sealing capabilities to instantly placate an automagod temporarily. |
| 705 | * CommonalityConnection: The ThinksLikeARomanceNovel trope applies to both Ilsa and Korwa, with the connection taking effect in the former's Summer episode. Upon seeing a young man trying to date his crush, the two are watching from afar, imagining how the lovers' scenes could even be more romantic. For some reason, Ilsa also [[MotorMouth speaks fast]] in this situation, a trait that she didn't have at first, but is a known trope for Korwa. |
| 706 | * CrazyPrepared: Ilsa went out of her way in "Home Sweet Moon" to [[spoiler:gather mages as a counter to the Otherworld's ZergRush tactics by shutting down all possible points of spawning monsters. The level of preparation is notable since the Society nor Otherworldly Beings have come into major conflict with each other on-screen.]] |
| 707 | * TheDeadHaveNames: Invokes this in her TranquilFury against the Otherworlders in the first part of "Home Sweet Moon", who had taken the forms of her dead soldiers. |
| 708 | * DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: In her Summer episode, Ilsa monologues about taking a break and her desire to go out on the beach. Unfortunately for Ilsa, a trainee heard the "beach" part out loud. Unfortunately for the trainee, he receives a DeathGlare from Ilsa, who commands him to forget what he heard. |
| 709 | * DrillSergeantNasty: And how. She's insulting her recruits and putting them through harsh training constantly, although it's out of a genuine desire to make sure they can live through their battles, and they still think the world of her. Her Light version's Fate Episodes feature her giving anecdotal evidence of why her methods are so necessary, as she was once an ArrogantKungFuGuy whose habits had landed her in hot water, and it was her own drill sergeant’s teachings that had bailed her out, teaching her the importance of a recruit's humility firsthand and why drill instructors like her must stamp out such arrogance. |
| 710 | * EmpathicWeapon: Like all seal weapons, the Gun of Arbitration, Nybeth is this. |
| 711 | * FashionableAsymmetry: |
| 712 | ** Her summer outfit includes a leg strap only on her left side. |
| 713 | ** In her Light version's outfit, her cape is slanted downwards more on her left shoulder. |
| 714 | * FrontlineGeneral: She's at the forefront of all of her battles, shouting orders at her men while she fights alongside them. Also evident in-game for her Light version, where her men blast the enemy from off-screen and her linked skills involve the party becoming either "Entrenched" or "On the Move" depending on which is chosen, as if she is leading them. |
| 715 | * GunFu: Liberally uses flips and spins when unloading Nybeth at the enemy up close and personal. |
| 716 | * GunsAkimbo: When [[ComboRifle unmerged]], Nybeth takes the form of two pistols, which she wields like this. She even shares a few mechanics with the protagonist's Gunslinger class. |
| 717 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: People who know her as the always-serious, brutally effective drill sergeant of the Society are often extremely surprised when they meet her off-job, where she's friendly and laid-back. Not to mention [[ShipperOnDeck oddly supportive]] of Zeta's attempts to get Vaseraga hitched with Almeida. As she puts it, if you're not one of her trainees, then there's no reason to scream. And even if you're a recruit, she will still [[AMotherToHerMen treat you with fairness]], rewarding ones that perform well by letting them skip parts of training to [[SweetTooth get her sweets]], making injured trainees stop and get treated, and allowing them to go on leave without much fuss. It's a small wonder why they were [[UndyingLoyalty so intent on following her]] after she goes on the run from the Foe. |
| 718 | * MaleGaze: A background CG in Second Advent shows Ilsa's rear clothing being blown away by the wind. |
| 719 | * MarriedToTheJob: She wants to get married, but she's too busy with work and doesn't have the time to find a boyfriend. |
| 720 | * MilitaryAlphabet: Fitting for a drill sergeant, Ilsa can slip some of these, such as calling two people Alpha and Bravo in her Summer episode. |
| 721 | * MoreDakka: Frequently featured roaring at her men to rain hell on their enemies. In-game, the third skill in her Earth version uses up all her bullets, which implies this. |
| 722 | * AMotherToHerMen: One of her defining traits. Her DrillSergeantNasty tendencies towards her recruits are only because she wants them to be as prepared for battle as possible and survive, and cares for them deeply. She treats them all fairly, rewarding ones that do well, making injured trainees stop get patched up, and freely letting them go on leave. It's a small wonder why they [[UndyingLoyalty willingly choose to come with her]] in her Light version when she goes on the run from the Foe. Best exemplified in Home Sweet Moon, where any of her subordinates' deaths weighs on her heavily, and she becomes utterly enraged when the Otherworlders impersonate her dead soldiers, whom she all remembers by name. She will try her damn hardest not to let anyone under her watch die, even managing to release Nybeth in the battle agaisnt Dex because she was so against [[HeroicSacrifice Vaseraga's insistence that she should sacrifice him]]. |
| 723 | * MsFanservice: Even among the Erune ladies, Ilsa is absolutely ''gorgeous,'' and her alternate versions further emphasize her incredible beauty. Her Yukata version's uncap artwork outright features her ''bathing naked in a hot spring!'' |
| 724 | * NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: While being MarriedToTheJob makes finding a boyfriend hard enough, her fierce nature and combat skills have a tendency to scare off anyone who fancies her, as shown in her Summer version's Fate Episodes. |
| 725 | * TheNicknamer: Calls various members of the Society different nicknames. It comes with the job. |
| 726 | * NoIndoorVoice: Is understandably shouting at the top of her lungs when commanding her soldiers to fill something with lead in battle. |
| 727 | * OldMaid: In the ''Grand Blues!'' comics, her MarriedToTheJob trope usually gets exaggerated to the point where some characters (particularly her Society underlings Zeta and Beatrix) mock Ilsa for her lowered chances of getting married, just because she's already 28 years old without a boyfriend. Brought up again in her Light version, where one of her side-scrolling lines feature her expressing disbelief that [[spoiler:the Society had collapsed]] before she found a man. |
| 728 | * PrideBeforeAFall: Her career in the Society started out like this as a recruit, where she became at odds with her drill sergeant and Eustace, who was her fellow recruit at the time, over a decision to hold her back from an advanced drill. After challenging her instructor to a fight and subsequently getting [[CurbStompBattle trounced]], she walked out on the Society and blundered into the hands of an enemy that held her hostage right before the Society tried to take in her captor. After using the same move her sergeant used on her in their fight to escape, she realized she had a lot to learn and had become more humble when coming back to be trained anew. |
| 729 | * ShipTease: Zig-zagged with the Captain, unlike with other characters that are teased with them, such as Narmaya or Percival, Ilsa's feelings about the captain are never straight out confirmed, even in events like Valentine's or White Day, rather they tend to tease the idea that it's ''the Captain'' that is developing a crush on her. That being said she certainly likes to tease the Captain in every event, and she seems to get a bit more interested and possesive each year. She is also more open to them than with any other character in her Light episode and is not against the idea of acting like they are in a relationship to scare off flirts in her Summer episode. |
| 730 | * SlipknotPonytail: Usually an adept of the PrimAndProperBun, her Skybound design has her hat blown off and wild hair in the wind. She wears her hair in a proper ponytail in her Summer version, and [[AvertedTrope forgoes this completely]] in her Light version. |
| 731 | * SternChase: Following [[spoiler:the Society's collapse in "Spaghetti Syndrome"]], she's been forced to jump from island to island with her recruits in tow to evade the Foe, who are after her seal weapon Nybeth. |
| 732 | * SweetTooth: Lover of all sugary things. Particularly promising cadets of hers are sent to go pick up desserts for her before the shop closes, which doesn't seem like much of a reward until you realize that means skipping part of the training. |
| 733 | * TanLines: In ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #1104, Ilsa exclaims that the mesh-shaped top of her swimsuit would leave fishnet-patterned tan lines over her breasts if a trainee doesn't bring her some sunblock fast. |
| 734 | * ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: She thoughtfully describes what her dream wedding would be like, from the length of her dress, the color of decorations, a silver tiara to be placed on her head, an elegant train, as well as well-manicured trees outside the wedding venue. And if she were to be rescued from an enemy, she wants the hero to be the love of her life and not a stranger. It's also why she tears into Vaseraga in the epilogue of Right Behind You, being in complete disbelief that he had payed Almeida a visit and then [[ObliviousToLove simply went back home]]. |
| 735 | * TranquilFury: Goes into a nightmarish one in "Home Sweet Moon" after seeing the Otherworlders assume the form of her dead soldiers, barely keeping her anger in check as she repeatedly shoots the leader without raising her voice, before dropping any pretenses and roaring about how the dead's memories have been defiled, commanding everyone to go on the offensive. |
| 736 | * UnflinchingWalk: Invoked in the uncap artwork of Ilsa's Light version, where a huge explosion is right behind her. |
| 737 | * UnkemptBeauty: Looks as beautiful as ever in her Light version, although the crew is quick to notice her exhaustion and tattered clothing from being constantly chased. |
| 738 | * UnstoppableRage: Goes absolutely berserk when the Otherworlders encountered in "Home Sweet Moon" impersonate her dead soldiers, barely maintaining a TranquilFury before losing it, with her shooting the leader multiple times, stomping on it, and then ''tearing its head off with her bare hands''. Everyone is rightfully terrified, with Juri's voice cracking from fear afterwards, and even [[TheStoic Eustace]] is included among the stunned onlookers as he remains silent. |

| 751 | An old and well-respected merchant friend of Sierokarte, she lends a hand towards the crew in an economic crisis and joins them to turn a profit. |
| 752 | ---- |
| 753 | * AccentAdaptation: Her Kansai dialect is translated into a Southern US accent in the English version. |
| 754 | * TheAtoner: Wishes to make up for several corrupt economic practices she used in the past and help people with her good business sense. |
| 755 | * TheCameo: In the anime, she is the merchant in Auguste who sold Gran and Lyria the blue hairpin. |
| 756 | * CuteLittleFangs: Especially evident in her SR base art. |
| 757 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Her R version has unequal amounts of straps in her legs. |
| 758 | * FriendlyRivalry: With Sierokarte. Though both aim to make as much profit as possible, the two never act maliciously towards each other, keeping their games lighthearted and fair for good sport. |
| 759 | * IGaveMyWord: She swore on her mother's grave to Sierokarte that she would ''always'' help the crew, no matter what. |
| 760 | * KnowledgeBroker: Naturally goes with her occupation. She uses this fact to get the crew out of a scam and crippling debt. |
| 761 | * PaperFanOfDoom: Her weapon is a large paper fan. |
| 762 | * Pun: The name of her R version's charge attack is "Invisible Hands". It's a reference to the "invisible hand" from economic theory. Karteira is a merchant, so ... |
| 763 | * VideoGameStealing: Her SR version's second skill applies a unique debuff, which when combo'd with her first skill, will allow her to steal up to 13,500 rupies from an enemy. Interestingly, this mechanic applies the condition of this trope where the enemy needs to be kept alive in order for her to successfully steal the coins. |

| 794 | |
| 795 | A master seamstress renowned across the world for her masterwork dresses. Korwa sews emotion into every thread of her clothing, and uses her unique brand of magic to lead people to happiness. She joins the crew to seek another happy ending for those they come across. |
| 796 | |
| 797 | She later received a Summer version on July 2017 and appears in the "Poacher's Day" event. Ever since, Korwa appears, or gets referenced in most of the other characters' Summer episodes. |
| 798 | ---- |
| 799 | * BalanceBuff: Her Summer version received a significant rework of her kit in March 2021. Her first skill now grants a 1 turn Double Strike and Damage Cap alongside the Wind Attack and multiattack rate buffs. Her second skill was reworked to now grant debuff immunity, defense, and damage reduction, with both of these skills now being ''permanent and undispellable.'' Her third skill costs all of her Fil, but grants the entire party a powerful assassin buff for one attack. On top of that, her charge attack no longer extends the duration of her first skill (due to becoming permanent), but instead restores the party's HP and grants bonus damage. All of these combine to now make Summer Korwa an amazing buffer, with a greatly reduced reliance on micromanagement. |
| 800 | * BoobsAndButtPose: It's there in her summer version's artwork, but kinda {{downplayed}} because her hips are covered by her dress. |
| 801 | * CommonalityConnection: The ThinksLikeARomanceNovel trope applies to both Ilsa and Korwa, with the connection taking effect in the former's Summer episode. Upon seeing a young man trying to date his crush, the two are watching from afar, imagining how the lovers' scenes could even be more romantic. For some reason, Ilsa also [[MotorMouth speaks fast]] in this situation, a trait that she didn't have at first, but is a known trope for Korwa. |
| 802 | * ContinuityNod: Korwa appears or gets mentioned in numerous Summer-themed events or Fate Episodes of the female cast, considering that she is a fashion designer and the one who recommended or personally designed their swimsuits. |
| 803 | * DifficultButAwesome: To make the most out of her buffs in the earliest possible turn, Korwa needs to have applied her first and second skills by the time her Charge Bar is full, and with 10 Fils to spare. In order to do so, she must be hit at least once in a turn for her passive to produce 2 additional Fils aside from the regenerating ones. She needs an increased Hostility due to this and it is what makes her difficult to pair with Rosetta's Grand version since the latter can typically draw aggro away from Korwa. It is also best to re-apply a buff as soon as it wears out as her Charge Attack does literally nothing if she doesn't have any active buffs on any character. She does need quite a number of turns for ramping up, and is a high-maintenance buffer. But once you do get 10 Fils for her buffs when she uses her Charge Attack, expect the damage output of your team to skyrocket. |
| 804 | * FashionableAsymmetry: One of her stockings is white, the other is black. |
| 805 | * FluffyTamer: In ''Grand Blues!,'' she manages to tame '''Galleon''', one of the ''freaking Six Dragons,'' into being her pet. |
| 806 | * ForHappiness: She wants everyone to find their own happy ending, and will do everything in her power to see it happen. |
| 807 | * GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: Korwa has a unique type of magic which she imbues on the dresses she create. Well, since she desires to make happy ending for everyone, those who wear these dresses will have a positive demeanor. Fortunately, since Korwa also ThinksLikeARomanceNovel, a Fate Episode has her create a wedding dress for a soon-to-be bride. |
| 808 | ** In one of her few appearances in ''Grand Blues!'', this trope gets exaggerated. Korwa made a dress that makes the wearer ''always'' happy, and one of the unfortunate "victims" is later seen smiling while nervously sweating and trembling. |
| 809 | * {{Jawbreaker}}: PlayedForLaughs in ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #1098 as Korwa tries to wrestle an alligator's jaw with all of her limbs. |
| 810 | * MechanicallyUnusualFighter: All of her abilities are buffs, and she spends a unique resource called [[ManaMeter Fil]] to use them. Rather than dealing damage, her charge attack consumes all her Fil to enhance and extend the duration of all her active buffs which [[GatheringSteam become more potent]] the more Fils are available when casting it. |
| 811 | * MotorMouth: When agitated or frustrated, she rattles off whatever she's thinking at breakneck speed with no regard to who's listening. |
| 812 | * PromotedToPlayable: Her alternate fictional version from the "Albion Fantasy High" delusion they had in "Table for Six" event became playable at the end of March 2019. |
| 813 | * RazorFloss: She attacks enemies with strings. |
| 814 | * ShipperOnDeck: She will ''happily'' take her place at the bow for any possible romance occurring within about a half-mile radius of her. One of her most notable leanings, however, is Captain/Carren during Summer 2017 "Poacher's Day" event. |
| 815 | * TextileWorkIsFeminine: She sews wedding dresses. And swimsuits. And anything else that strikes her fancy (or pays well). |
| 816 | * ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Korwa is obsessed with the idea of happy endings, and often tries to orchestrate melodramatic or cliched scenes into happening. This does have a more positive angle as well, however; she's the one, alongside Tweyen, who gently encourages [[Characters/GranblueFantasyHumansAToE Carren]] to get in touch with her parents and try to understand their position, because she knows that Carren permanently falling out of contact with her parents can only lead to regret later in Carren's life. |

| 830 | * EarlyBirdCameo: In the scripted battle in the re-run of the "Forgiveness and Gratitude" event, a Chibi sprite of Kou appears to aid the captain and Yuel. And in "Kou and the Hollowed Existence", Kou was made a playable unit in the scripted fights. |
| 831 | * EveryonesBabySister: Post-Forgiveness and Gratitude, he is treated as this by both Yuel and Societte, and also by the captain. Much to his chagrin. |

| 893 | A brash yet affable dudebro who joins the crew of the Grandcypher after developing a massive crush on Katalina. He is an excellent cook, and spends his free time hanging out with his two best friends, Elsam and Tomoi. |
| 894 | |
| 895 | ---- |
| 896 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Lowain (and subsequently, his two bros) stars in the "L.E.T.S. H.A.N.G." event and its sequels "Table for Six" and "A Walk on the Wild Side". |
| 897 | * AmbiguouslyBi: while they're clearly interested in women, they are fairly quick to comment on the looks of men they find attractive as well, such as them all agreeing that Poseidon is a {{Hunk}}. |
| 898 | * AmIRight: In Chapter 5 of the "L.E.T.S. H.A.N.G." event, Tomoi tries to imitate Elsam by answering what the latter would think about Yggdrasil. |
| 899 | --> '''Tomoi''': Ygg is a real cutie! Am I right, or am I right? |
| 900 | * AndZoidberg: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. The trio are sometimes referred to as "Lowain and bros." both in-universe (i.e. referenced by Scathacha in "Bzzt! Amped Up Summer") and by a portion of the playerbase. |
| 901 | * BriefAccentImitation: In Chapter 3 of the "L.E.T.S. H.A.N.G." event, Lowain does an impersonation of Farrah by imitating her speaking mannerisms. |
| 902 | * CallBack: |
| 903 | ** As he mentions in "Table for Six", Elsam prefers fashionable women. At one point in Lowain's Event version episodes, Elsam himself shows his fashionable side as he wears formal attire and dreams to like a well-mannered CEO. |
| 904 | ** In their Summer episode, the trio are stalked by an Imperial Soldier whom they weren't able to identify at first, until a flashback explains that he is one of the guards Lowain defeated in his regular version. The soldier's son was ashamed of his dad because of this incident, and the father simply wanted a payback so that he will be acknowledged again. Lowain and his bros later staged a mock fight where they are defeated in front of the soldier's child, fulfilling his request. |
| 905 | * TheCameo: He cooks for Gran and Lyria in one episode. He's also an actual member of Djeeta's crew in the extra episode, though he doesn't have a dialogue in that one. |
| 906 | * CatchPhrase: Waheeeeeey! |
| 907 | * ChefOfIron: Not only is he a competent fighter, he's also a competent chef. He learned how to cook from his grandma and his original job was a cook for a canteen. |
| 908 | * CombinationAttack: In his initial version's Charge Attack, Elsam and Tomoi will carry and move him forward, while Lowain makes random slashes. The "Table For Six" event's summon is even based on this attack, named H.P.A.[[note]]Human Pyramid Attack[[/note]] |
| 909 | * CookingDuel: In their Cross-Fate Episode, Vira and Lowain fight in a cooking competition with Katalina as the judge. |
| 910 | * CrypticBackgroundReference: In "Walk on the Wild Side", Tomoi namedrops Lucifer and Belial [[TheNicknamer (referred to as "Cifer" and "Beli")]] as he notices the tavern they're heading to is the same one that Lucifer and Belial shared a drink in 2000 years ago. Not only does it imply that Tomoi and Elsam are OlderThanTheyLook, something Lowain lampshades, it implies that they're on familiar terms with Belial and Lucifer, or at least had a direct encounter with them at one point. |
| 911 | * DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Or as the game would call it, "Totally Forbidden Skillz". His event version's third skill sharply increases his stats, then greatly weakening him after it wears off. |
| 912 | * DualWielding: Dual wields butterfly knives in battle. |
| 913 | * DubNameChange: The trio's Charge Attack and event summon is named with the acronym K.B.S.N. in the Japanese version[[note]]The acronym does not give individual meanings to the letters. Instead, K.B.S.N. is likely based on the Japanese term [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_fight Kibasen]], which is equivalent to "cavalry fight"[[/note]], while it is named H.P.A. in the English version (which stands for Human Pyramid Attack). |
| 914 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In their Summer version's episode, the bros fight a lone Imperial Soldier who is later named "[[TotallyRadical Imp]]" in battle, Lowain mentions this again after the fight. And the narration follows suit by labeling the soldier as "Imp" instead of "Imperial Soldier". |
| 915 | * HopelessSuitor: Joined the crew for a chance to woo Katalina, and all versions of him have skills dedicated to her, but she's not really interested in him no matter how hard he tries. Plus there's the whole [[{{Yandere}} Vira]] thing. |
| 916 | ** And then there's Tomoi to [[BigBad Freesia]] and Elsam to [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Yggdrasil]]. Although we're not sure how the latter will proceed now that Yggdrasil has been PromotedToPlayable. |
| 917 | * MrImagination: He and his friends are prone to elaborate dream sequences. |
| 918 | * LoveAtFirstSight: Lowain to Katalina. |
| 919 | * LoveConfession: Lowain is very direct when he expresses his feelings, which leaves Katalina confused. In the "L.E.T.S. H.A.N.G." event, he [[ImagineSpot fantasizes]] on how to deliver it, one of which is the following line. |
| 920 | --> Kat... I mean, Miss Katalina Aryze. Will you be mine? |
| 921 | * NewTransferStudent: Lowain imagines himself as one during the third chapter of the "L.E.T.S. H.A.N.G." event. |
| 922 | * TheNicknamer: The trio loves to make affectionate shorthand names for most of the crew members, a trait which is recurringly applied in their focused events such as "A Walk on the Wild Side". |
| 923 | * NoodleIncident: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. In "L.E.T.S. H.A.N.G.", Elsam brings up the "garbage incident" regarding Tomoi, but Lowain explains it afterwards. |
| 924 | -->'''Elsam''': Oh, right! Did you hear about that garbage incident? |
| 925 | -->'''Lowain''': What, that time Tommy got taken out with the trash because he was sleeping in a box? |
| 926 | * PluckyComicRelief: They bring comedy to whatever event they star in, even if said events [[ADayInTheLimelight tend to focus on]] serious and calm characters like Sutera in "Table for Six" and Tyre in "A Walk on the Wild Side". |
| 927 | * RhymesOnADime: They don't just speak TotallyRadical, their event version features the trio to come up with rhyming lines when talking about some of their comrades. |
| 928 | --> Magic's rad, she's so mad, gonna make you cry so bad! Io! Io! Io! |
| 929 | * SatelliteCharacter: Elsam and Tomoi, his two best pals. They're mostly interchangeable and never seen without him, except for [[ADayInTheLimelight the Summer version's fate episode]] where Tomoi manages to land a date with a cute girl he met on the beach. They actually get differentiated a bit in "Table for Six" and "A Walk on the Wild Side". |
| 930 | * SeriousBusiness: When a shopkeeper mocked the trio's hairstyles and physical appearances after refusing them from buying ingredients, Elsam took the criticism personally as he decided to dress in a complete formal attire the next morning. |
| 931 | * ShoutOut: His SR version's victory pose is a shout-out to EXILE's "Choo Choo Train" music video. |
| 932 | * SitcomArchnemesis: With Vira. The two are often pictured as rivals in vying for Katalina's attention. Though a "Grand Blues! Channel" quest reveals that Lowain dreams of the day where he and Vira would be friends while Vira teeters between barely tolerating him and just wanting him and his friends dead. [[spoiler:And, as the ending of "A Walk on the Wild Side" demonstrates, even this is mostly in Lowain's head; in proper reality, the whole joke is that Vira is barely aware of the Bros, aside from them being the ''Grancypher'' kitchen staff, and would likely dismiss Lowain as a total non-threat as far as Kat goes if she was even aware of his attraction.]] |
| 933 | * SoundEffectBleep: In "A Walk on the Wild Side", Elsam and Lowain mention "cr*p" but the audio gets bleeped out a bit. |
| 934 | * TeamChef: He and his buddies are typically portrayed as the Grancypher's designated cook. |
| 935 | * TheBattleDidntCount: During the battle against the "Imp" in their Summer version's episode, the bros act as if they were defeated even if you actually won the fight. [[spoiler:It turns out they agreed with the soldier's plan of staging the fight so that the soldier's kid will be impressed again at his dad.]] |
| 936 | * TotallyRadical: Everything from his way of speaking to skill names are full of ridiculous teenage slang. |
| 937 | * TrueCompanions: PlayedForLaughs, of all things. As it turns out, he and his pals could easily score if they tried (even other female [=NPCs=] ask some of them for "company"), but they're way more interested in hanging out and doing stupid things together than actually settling down with a girlfriend. The narration itself ends up calling it "the greatest bromance". |
| 938 | * XRaySparks: When the trio gets zapped by the electric eals in the "Bzzt! Amped Up Summer" event, their skeletons are portrayed in this manner. Also overlaps a bit with TruthInTelevision as their skeletons don't have bones on their Erune ears, like the outer flaps of cat ears which don't have bones and are made up of muscles. |

[[spoiler:However, this was not something he was originally embodied, and he took up this role after the original wedge of life and death was discarded, which is implied to be Nectar.]] |
| 958 | * FlashStep: Introduces himself to a spying Seofon and Mugen by blinking right behind them before they can react. |
| 959 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Raid Lu Woh hits ridiculously hard, but his FieldPowerEffect heals your party to mitigate the damage. In ''Old Bond'', he [[CurbStompBattle beat the Captain within an inch of their life]], but later healed them back with his powers. |
| 960 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure, he's a gigantic jerk, but he's also the only one among the Six Dragons to put aside their BlueAndOrangeMorality and explain to the Captain [[DeathOfPersonality what may happen]] to Vyrn should they take his power, and bothers to use his healing powers to speed up the Captain's recovery after their duel. Wilnas also says that despite his "attitude problem", he's a pretty decent fellow. "And You" really brings out his heart of gold, as he expresses genuine concern for Gran/Djeeta's wellbeing even with his aloof demeanor, and hates the fact that all of the world's burdens lie on them as the Singularity, cursing Bahamut for it. |
| 961 | * LightEmUp: Liberally employs rays of light to attack, as befitting the dragon of Light. Numerous attacks of his are also [[ShockAndAwe lightning-based]]. |
| 962 | * LightIsNotGood: Lu Woh looks like a divine white dragon, but he's every bit as nasty as the other dragons, and will rip your Dark team to shreds if you're unprepared. ''Old Bond'' reveals that he's actually LightIsGood, but he's also quite the stuck-up jerk. |
| 963 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: He manifests as a very handsome Erune man with a long braid. Orologia even points out his eye candy appeal in his Fate Episode. |
| 964 | * OnlySaneMan: He's easily the most serious and straight-laced of the Six Dragons when considering the others' eccentricities and general goofiness in their mortal forms. |
| 965 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Lu Woh has none of the sporting and casual approaches his colleagues take in the trials for the Captain to keep Vyrn's power, and his trial is a duel where he holds absolutely nothing back against the Captain. He very nearly kills them, and only backs off upon seeing Seofon's powers. |
| 966 | * PromotedToPlayable: Originally a boss and later appearing as an NPC in ''Old Bond'' and having his dragon form be an obtainable summon, he became a playable Grand character during the Premium Gala update on February 28, 2023. |
| 967 | * ScaryShinyGlasses: Does this when he threatens Ewiyar into doing her job. |
| 968 | * StoicSpectacles: Lu Woh's mortal form, befitting his stern personality. |
| 969 | * TotalPartyKill: If Lu Woh managed to prepare his "Flashpoint Trajectory" attack, better pray that you have a Delay ready or you can say goodbye to everyone in your party. It can be cancelled by hitting him '''''99 times.''''' Just... delay him constantly to keep this from happening. |
| 970 | * {{Tsundere}}: Wilnas repeatedly points out that despite his standoffish demeanor, he's actually quite benevolent and wants to assist humanity as much as the rest of the Six Dragons, much to Lu Woh's chagrin. |
| 971 | -->'''Lu Woh:''' Would you stop seeing compassion in everything I do! |
| 972 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: While all of the Six Dragons are this due to wanting Vyrn's power for the good cause of eradicating the Otherworlders, Lu Woh stands out due to readily attempting to kill the Captain in his trial in contrast to the others' harmless challenges and competitions, out of genuine worry for the Captain's status as the Singularity and the many irregularities the world has. In the epilogue, he says it might be necessary to overthrow ''Bahamut'' should he continue to neglect his duty as TopGod. |

| 992 | ** Gameplay example. Using Pioggerella as a CounterAttack increases her Oh Emm Gee counter by one. Getting six at the end of the turn disables her ability to act and greatly reduces her defense until she's knocked out. |
| 993 | ** In terms of the story, it's subverted as ''Unbound Asterism'' shows she can make up a few strategies of her own. |

| 1009 | A young woman who's been friends with Meg since childhood but their friendship has been strained by the time of "''My Beloved Auguste''," and Mari makes fun of Meg. However, when saved by Meg from a giant hermit crab, Mari's attitude goes a complete 180, and develops affection for her old friend. She was PromotedToPlayable as the duo unit with Meg in 31 August 2023. |
| 1010 | ---- |
| 1011 | * ArtEvolution: In "My Beloved Auguste" she had [[https://gbf.wiki/images/6/69/Npc_zoom_3991799000_01.png a generic Erune NPC portrait to represent her]], but in "Auguste of the Dead," she gets an original design that symbolizes her increased importance. |
| 1012 | * AscendedExtra: She was introduced in "My Beloved Auguste" as a generic female Erune NPC who was a childhood friend and rival of Meg. By "Auguste of the Dead" she gets far more screentime, a new, updated profile and a unique sprite to match her new role. |
| 1013 | * ChildhoodFriends: She's a childhood playmate to Meg. |
| 1014 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: While their relationship has yet to be set in stone, it's made very clear that Mari's initially vague feelings for Meg at the end of "My Beloved Auguste" are, in fact, romantic, and that [[ObliviousToLove Meg]] may be on her way to reciprocating them. |
| 1015 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: She has a cannon that fires ''Ursula the shark''. |
| 1016 | * InseriesNickname: "Mari" is only a nickname. Her full name is "Marilyn". |
| 1017 | * LipstickLesbian: Not quite a lesbian, assuming her interest in men as shown in "My Beloved Auguste" still applies, but she's quite feminine and has romantic feelings for Meg. |
| 1018 | * LoveEpiphany: She realizes that it's ''Meg'' that's her true prince at the end of "My Beloved Auguste". |
| 1019 | * OnlyOneName: Actually, she's one of the only characters in the cast to avert this trope, as her name is "Marilyn Squallfield". [[InseriesNickname "Mari" is just a nickname]]. |
| 1020 | * PromotedToPlayable: Like Mordred before her, she's considered a pair with [[Characters/GranblueFantasyHumansFToN Meg]] in the latter's second (and unlimited) "Meg and Mari" SSR version released in 31st August 2023 Premium Gala. She still has yet to receive a standalone version. |
| 1021 | * TheRival: Considered herself one to Meg for a majority of ''My Beloved Auguste''. Gets turned on its head when Meg goes out of her way to save her, seemingly causing Mari to fall in love with her. |
| 1022 | * ShipTease: She gets a lot with Meg in "Auguste of the Dead". |
| 1023 | ** The weapon that unlocks their dual unit is the ''Marriage Ring''. |
| 1024 | * ShipperOnDeck: She might have the wrong end of the stick with his intentions, but she ships Deliford/Sandalphon. |
| 1025 | * TookALevelInBadass: She gets to be an event raid boss as a saunameister in "A 37-Year-Old's Sauna Horizons" and fights alongside Meg in a dual unit. In their fate she mentions that she's not much of a fighter, but figured she could at least learn to use a gun so she could protect Meg the way she has her. |
| 1026 | * UnknownRival: Mari's rivalry with Meg is largely one-sided, as Meg viewed her as a dear friend and was oblivious to her attempts at one-upping her. |
| 1027 | * ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: ''Very'' protective of Meg and, during the ''A 37-Year-Old's Sauna Horizons'', she's initially hostile at Deliford when she thinks he's trying to hit on Meg. |

| 1040 | A wandering girl from a small hidden village. Perched atop a mysterious creature she calls Sachy, she enjoys life at her own (really slow) pace. |
| 1041 | ---- |
| 1042 | * AChildShallLeadThem: {{Subverted|trope}}. She's only fourteen years old, and won the tournament which decides the queen of her village, but she relinquished the throne soon after. |
| 1043 | * ADayInTheLimeLight: She along with Nemone are the central characters of the "Paliuli Pararaiha" event, which focuses on them and their village, along with their sister Lulu. |
| 1044 | * BalanceBuff: Melleau's kit used to be somewhat clunky and much more risky, with a stacking hostility buff that would help stack a unique attack buff whenever she was damaged, but very little way to actually defend herself and take hits outside a stacking defense buff on her charge attack. Even with a charge bar boost and her Impelliteri skill guaranteeing triple attacks, the negligible (and dispel-able) defense increase would rise quite slowly and leave her rather vulnerable, not to mention her lack of sustain. Later changes and her final uncap would rework Melleau's hostility buff into a single-turn hostility guarantee and counter attack and change her unique attack buff to make her more tanky much more quickly as she deals triple attacks, as well as build in some additional healing tools for herself, better establishing her as a capable, if rather selfish, attacker/tank who can actually peel attacks away from allies and dish out quite a beating in return. |
| 1045 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Gentle though she may be, Melleau does not take well to threats and badmouthers, especially if the insults are directed at Sachy. She doesn't carry her spear for show, after all. |
| 1046 | * CasualDangerDialogue: In ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #1096, this trope is lampshaded by Pavidus when Melleau and Nemone talk about making cool poses while fighting Tezcatlipoca. |
| 1047 | -->'''Pavidus''': It's nice to see you sisters getting along so well, but... Let's not forget we're in the middle of a battle! |
| 1048 | * ChildProdigy: She was called such by her village, being a powerful warrior when she was even younger than she is now. She even received a name for it amongst the village: [[RedBaron Divine Destroyer]]. |
| 1049 | * DrawAggro: Her second skill applies a Hostility Up and lets her CounterAttack. While she's not very durable to start with, once she's dealt a few triple attacks she becomes quite capable of tanking hits. |
| 1050 | * FluffyTamer: Sachy and her get along extremely well despite being a humongous monster thing.[[spoiler:It's eventually revealed to be an escaped genetic experiment meant to be an extremely aggressive war beast. Melleau does ''not'' want to hear about giving her friend up because of "potential danger".]] |
| 1051 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Atmosphere around her is so relaxed animals and even monsters tend to flock to her. She doesn't like it much when that happens, though. |
| 1052 | * GoIntoTheLight: In her Cross-Fate episode with Melleau. Nemone lampshades this trope's "light and tunnel" concept just as she exaggerates dying after receiving Sachy's actually non-fatal attack. |
| 1053 | --> The light at the end of the tunnel! I think I see it! |
| 1054 | * LoveAtFirstSight: PlayedForLaughs. Upon her Fate Episode introduction, Melleau's being followed by a troupe of unaggressive monsters that she didn't notice, so the crew's initial wonder at seeing it is interpreted by her as this... towards either herself or Sachy. Soon after, when an aggressive monster attempts to ambush her and the Captain saves her, she quickly declares she may be in love, though how seriously she meant it is never elaborated on. |
| 1055 | * MellowFellow: Even monsters become more docile if they fall inside her orbit, and an attacking monster still isn't enough to crack her slow and affable demeanor. That said, incite her anger at your peril, as she's still quite capable of TranquilFury. |
| 1056 | * NightmareFace: Sachy wears that mask for a reason. Her other older sister, Lulu, tried to take a peek under it once and ended up comatose for three days. |
| 1057 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: If she manages to get focused enough to talk without her usual slowness and whimsy, it's that she's really mad. It's generally not a good idea to stay in her path when that happens. |
| 1058 | * ReallyRoyaltyReveal: In her cross-fate with Nemone. She actually became a queen once, but gave the title to her sister, Lulu, after just a few days. |
| 1059 | * SiblingYinYang: Melleau looks sleepy and absent-minded for most part whereas Nemone is downright hyperactive. |
| 1060 | * StarterMon: She can be the first SSR (from the pool of 6 SSR characters of their respective elements) that you can receive on the rigged ten-draw after completing the tutorial. |

| 1076 | A genius archer chosen by her village's incredibly powerful ancestral bow, Metera finds life in her village impossibly stifling and resolves to join the Grancypher crew in order to find something that catches her interest. She comes with her little sister, Sutera, with whom she has a complex but ultimately loving relationship. |
| 1077 | |
| 1078 | First introduced as a Wind attacker in July 2014's "Song of Serpent Island" event gacha, Metera later got a Fire version very early in 2016. |
| 1079 | ---- |
| 1080 | * AcePilot: Turns out she can maneuver the Grandcypher well, which even impresses the actual pilot Rackam. |
| 1081 | * AloofBigSister: She's more skilled at archery then Sutera and is pretty much better than her at anything, while being a little too aloof when interacting with her. Metera herself realizes that she might be a bit too much like this with Sutera. |
| 1082 | * AlphaStrike: How Metera and Sutera finally sealed the primal beast Marduk – By raining arrows simultaneously until it can no longer regenerate, forcing it to remain in deep sleep for a long time. |
| 1083 | * ArtEvolution: Being one of the early SSR units, her artwork improved in her fire version and her 5★ wind uncap. |
| 1084 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite her deprecation at Sutera's personality and general exasperation with her sister's discipline, she genuinely does love Sutera and tries to provide nice things for her whenever she can. Her final uncap is predicated upon her resolving to ensure Sutera is no longer deeply burdened by their home village. |
| 1085 | * BigDamnHeroes: Arrives just when Marduk corners her sister in "Yesterday's Scars and Tomorrow's Hopes". |
| 1086 | * BoobsAndButtPose: In her Fire version's initial artwork. |
| 1087 | * BrilliantButLazy: Incredibly talented but can't be bothered to fight monsters she could probably wipe out in a minute and uses anything like the weather being too chilly as an excuse to stay out of combat. |
| 1088 | * CoolBigSis: Metera is this to Ferry, whom she teaches how to get people's attention and sell cakes - among other things. While Metera is technically much younger, she has much more *experience* and a bold a personality to boot. Metera even thinks to herself that Ferry reminds her of her little sister Sutera. |
| 1089 | * CombatStilettos: She abuses the fact that she can fly to wear ''huge'' stiletto heels that would otherwise completely prevent her from walking. |
| 1090 | * CommonalityConnection: She and Korwa are established to have become friends because of them both being trendy Erune fashionistas. |
| 1091 | * DoubleEntendre: She intentionally delivers sexual innuendos and flirtatious lines towards men of her type, or to simply tease them. |
| 1092 | * EnergyBow: The Aetherial Bow, an old relic of her people. OnlyTheChosenMayWield it, but it grants a variety of special powers to the user. |
| 1093 | * EthicalSlut: Metera flirts with men of her type. But if the generic low-life thugs woo her and outright harm others for the sake of getting her attention, she won't hesitate to fight them. |
| 1094 | * {{Flight}}: A perk she gets as the wielder of the Aetherial Bow. |
| 1095 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks: Metera had a natural talent but Sutera had to work hard to even try in achieving the same level. Despite Sutera's efforts, she still thinks she CantCatchUp to Metera. |
| 1096 | * HeroicSeductress: Demonstrated in her Cross-Fate episode with Catherine. One of the handsome men she flirts with and picks up in the street plays along with a request for her date. [[spoiler:The man agrees because he is a conman who has already victimized other girls. Later on, it is revealed that Metera is actually suspicious of the guy because he is unable to fulfill Metera's request of expensive items even if he claims himself to be rich. After a conversation with Catherine, she decides to lure the man one more time and punish him on the spot.]] |
| 1097 | * IWorkAlone: Her defining trait according to the villagers in her hometown, seeing as Metera does what she does without having the need to rely on anyone. [[spoiler:This is emphasized in her 5★ episode. Metera is able to defeat Marduk alone, but it wasn't enough to truly seal the primal beast. She needed help from her sister and Aster to accomplish this goal and save their village from danger, while also breaking Metera out of this habit, teaching her that she needs others after all.]] |
| 1098 | * ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Her Fire outfit is basically a black ball gown that's had its rear half removed and is only secured at the neck, and moreover, her heels are even ''bigger'' in this outfit. Even worse, it was meant to be a ''winter'' outfit. |
| 1099 | * InsufferableGenius: A prodigy the likes of which you only see once in a century, and also a lazy, narcissistic flirt who can't ever be asked to do ''anything''. Her soft spot for her sister (and her prodigious combat capacity when she ''does'' fight) is just about her only redeeming point. She even prefers sleeping over helping others in need, but had to comply and join afterwards since she's now a member of the Grandcypher. |
| 1100 | * InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Due to habit, Metera can mix up her [[DoubleEntendre innuendos]] and one liners during combat with a flirtatious tone, intentionally or not. |
| 1101 | -->'''Metera''': We can have some fun if you do as I say... |
| 1102 | -->'''Rackam''': Hey, who told you to seduce the bandits? |
| 1103 | * NeverAcceptedInHisHometown: Sutera thinks that since Metera left the village not needing to train since she's talented anyway, Metera developed the attitude of [[IWorkAlone not relying on anyone]], that's why she can't sympathize with anyone, and no one in the village can sympathize with her. And since she left for a long time, the villagers still call her an "outsider" even when she returned to defeat Marduk |
| 1104 | * ManaMeter: All versions of her revolve around "Aetherial Seal" charges, which empower her other skills, auto-attacks, and charge attacks, and which you must manage for maximum effectiveness. |
| 1105 | * RedHerring: Following her [[BigDamnHeroes timely arrival]] in "Yesterday's Scars and Tomorrow's Hopes", Metera merely chased away the rampaging monsters to leave the rest of the cast to take out Marduk, despite being stronger than both Sutera and Aster combined. In the event's epilogue, she is just watching the fight from above, as her younger sister is able to subdue the primal beast without her help. |
| 1106 | -->'''Metera''': Humph, I guess you didn't need my help after all. What a waste of a trip. |
| 1107 | * RetailTherapy: Her fire version's introductory Fate Episode is about her and her little sis going out shopping to both cheer them up when they were sitting around being bored on the airship, and Metera realizing how tense her sister is around her. |
| 1108 | * {{Stripperific}}: Actually part of the joke for her Fire version. From the front, it seems fine, but from the side or rear (which, surprise, is the angle of her portrait) it's far more revealing than her original one. ''She was supposed to be shopping for winter clothes''. The town she buys this outfit in sees '''''active snow''''' during the same episode. |
| 1109 | * TheTease: Metera will intentionally speak in a seductive breathy voice in an attempt to attract men of her type. Although from her own episodes, she loves to flirt and sexually tease Rackam. |

| 1154 | * SatelliteCharacter: Of their SR unit. Notably, their SR unit still uses mostly Arthur's character typing, specifically his Human racial status. Even more notable is the fact that the unit has two other satellite characters with them in their [[https://imgur.com/xn7iBWI.png second artwork]]: Tornelio and Cruz. |
| 1155 | * ThemeNaming: Both Arthur and Mordred are named after Myth/KingArthur and Mordred from the Myth/ArthurianLegend. [[spoiler:His supposed real name, Ywain, is also from Arthurian legend]]. |
| 1156 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Their "disagreements" can get very heated but they deny calling it a fight. |

| 1166 | '''Style''': Special\ |
| 1167 | '''Weapon Specialty''': Gun+Melee\ |
| 1168 | '''Charge Attack''': Blazing Purification, Gift Kasten (Valentines version) |
| 1169 | The head of the Magasin mafia family's pharmacy department and one of the driving forces of the event, "Seeds of Redemption". In 18 June 2021, Nehan is made PromotedToPlayable. |
| 1170 | ---- |
| 1171 | * AngstComa: Falls into one [[spoiler:at the end of "Seeds of Redemption"]]. |
| 1172 | -->'''Rei''': [[spoiler:Yes. Tired of the world. He refuses to open his eyes to a world he's come to hate.]] |
| 1173 | * AntiVillain: The only things that made him a villain are his (understandable) hostility toward Seox, and being a (former) Mafia member. He ain't an evil antagonist, as Nehan was still able to make humanely actions such as befriending Mugen, and praying for all those who died from poison in Mugen's island. |
| 1174 | * TheAtoner: Upon realizing [[spoiler:the effects of the Serenity Heaven he manufactured in the past for the Magasin family]], the formerly gloomly and unmotivated Nehan finally finds peace in his heart and decided to devote his remaining strength and knowledge to become a pharmacist for Stardust Town and atone for his past sins, with Mugen fully supporting him. |
| 1175 | * BadassBookworm: He's a pharmaceutical chief, and his primary reason for visiting Mugen's island was to study poison and fauna there. But once Nehan [[spoiler:ingested [[PsychoSerum Trancensia]], he proves to be capable of fighting]]. |
| 1176 | * BatmanGambit: In Chapter 3, he gave the Trancensia to Seox while calling it as a part of the "coming-of-age rite" of the Karm Clan because [[spoiler:he wants Seox to remember the Karm massacre incident, specifically the fact that Seox was also under the influence of the drug when the massacre happened, when he killed Nehan's family. Nehan also made a condition that if Seox were to drink the drug, the accusations against him will be lifted. Seox did ingest Trancensia, but he went to a short rampage and had to be stopped. Near the end of the event, Seox agreed to have one-on-one with Nehan in order to settle their past about the Karm Clan massacre]]. |
| 1177 | * BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: At the end of the first half of "Seeds of Redemption", his brutally tells Mugen that he always hated him and abandons him in Stardust Town, not wanting him to get involved with his vengeance against Seox. |
| 1178 | * CastFromHitPoints: Nehan's Valentine SSR eats his HP with every skill use to grant a powerful buff to allies. |
| 1179 | * CoatCape: Nehan wears his leather coat like a cape on his back, which covers his scars that's exposed by his [[SexyBacklessOutfit nice backless Erune suit]]. |
| 1180 | * ConvenientlyAnOrphan: The Magasin mafia's boss adopted Nehan, thus making him involved into their mafia. |
| 1181 | * CoolMask: He wears a Han'nya mask to conceal his identity. |
| 1182 | * CoveredWithScars: His body is covered in scars. |
| 1183 | * DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:What motivated his AngstComa. Nehan has gotten tired of living in face of everything that he experienced to get to where he was in the present]]. |
| 1184 | * EyeScream: His playable version shows him covering an eye under an eyepatch, hinting that he lost an eye [[spoiler:after the attack on him in the finale of "Seeds of Redemption"]] |
| 1185 | * TheFatalist: His experiences eventually made him believe everything is predetermined by fate. |
| 1186 | * FinalBoss: Of the second half of "Seeds of Redemption". Also doubled as DuelBoss. |
| 1187 | * {{Foil}}: To Seox as [[spoiler:the last remaining survivors of the Karm clan and it's legacy. Seox inherits the martial abilities that marks a great assassin but is sheltered from the rest of the clan for his power, and thus unaware of some of the workings of the clan, while Nehan bore the medical knowledge of the medicines and concoctions that are made in the clan and raised as part of the Karm clan, knowing how the clan works in the process. While Seox was found by the captain's father in the aftermath of the Karm clan massacre, Nehan was enslaved following the aftermath. Ultimately, both also wish to escape their past. However, Seox wishes to atone for his crime while Nehan wants revenge even knowing he won't get closure by killing Seox, since his family members won't come back with his revenge. And by the end of ''Seeds of Redemption'', Seox wishes to live for the people who decided to stay with him regardless of his crime and pay them back while Nehan fell into an AngstComa after being shot by an unknown assailant implied to be the leader of the Magasin family that escaped being arrested by Walfried and swore revenge against Nehan, who is now currently tired of the world]]. |
| 1188 | ** As a playable character, Nehan and Seox also sport opposite elements and gameplay. Seox is Dark while Nehan is Light. Seox sports a charge attack with increased damage caps when he gains levels and uncaps, while Nehan's charge attack heals all allies instead. Seox has self buffs that make himself stronger but its potency increases gradually, while Nehan opts to make everyone except himself stronger instantly albeit with side effects. Finally, Seox becomes increasingly hard to kill as time passes, while Nehan himself is pretty easy to kill despite having an innate dodge rate. |
| 1189 | * FragileSpeedster: While Nehan himself is a capable fighter, he doesn't hit as hard as his boss incarnation. In his playable version, he's very dodgy thanks to his passive that boosts his dodge rate by 30% and he can quickly land a 6-hit counterattack that's treated as skill damage, thus boosted by corresponding skill damage buffs, but it also effectively lowers his maximum HP by 20% as well as his defense by 30%, lowering his survivability by a good amount. Makes sense, he's a [[FridgeBrilliance pharmacist first and foremost]]. |
| 1190 | * TheInformant: He clued the Enforcers about Seox's past murder of the Karm Clan, and the hideout of the Eternals, making Nehan responsible for a major part of the "Seeds of Redemption" event. |
| 1191 | * LivingADoubleLife: Being a part of the Magasin, Nehan is their Pharmaceutical Chief, as well as a mafia member at the same time. |
| 1192 | * LostInTranslation: The English translation of [[spoiler:Nehan's face-off against Seox in the finale of "Seeds of Redemption" comes incorrectly across as Nehan wanting to lead and revive the Karm clan]] when the Japanese dub instead has him say that [[spoiler:he wants Seox to prove himself to him and see which one of them fate will choose.]] The story was updated after a while with the correct translation. |
| 1193 | * MadeASlave: He was enslaved and bought by the Magasin family. He used his knowledge of medicine to treat his fellow slaves and eventually worked his way up to become the family's Pharmaceutical chief. |
| 1194 | * MrExposition: In the final chapter of the event, Nehan filled Seox (and the audience) some additional lore on the backstory of the Karm Clan. |
| 1195 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:After fighting Seox, Nehan started to think about reforming his ways and decided to retreat to an island called Affeils, where he was unfortunately found wounded and unconcious in a room (implied to be shot by an assailant). Fortunately, Fif's magic restored his body's functions, but according to Rei, Nehan himself doesn't want to wake up from his AngstComa. Until he is PromotedToPlayable and his Fate episodes focusing on Nehan waking up]]. |
| 1196 | * PaperThinDisguise: He might be wearing a mask to conceal his face, but Walfrid easily deduced that Nehan is a [[SoleSurvivor survivor]] of the Karm Clan due to his white hair. |
| 1197 | * PowerAtAPrice: All of his buffs will turn all other Light allies in your team into {{Glass Cannon}}s for three turns, and he cannot buff himself with his skills. |
| 1198 | * PromotedToPlayable: A year and three months after his debut, Nehan is made playable with [[spoiler:him awakening from his coma]]. |
| 1199 | * {{Protectorate}}: To Mugen, as revealed in Chapter 6. |
| 1200 | -->'''Mugen''': Enemy of Nehan... Mugen defeat. |
| 1201 | * PsychoSerum: Near the finale of the event, Nehan also ingested [[spoiler:the Trancensia drug to make him have an equal footing against Seox in their one-on-one battle]]. |
| 1202 | * PutOnABus: Nehan is still physically fine despite [[spoiler:[[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished getting shot by a Magasin Family that was left, said person most likely being the leader that wasn't arrested by Walfried and the Enforcers]], thanks to Fif healing his body in time. Just like Sandalphon before him, Nehan is now sleeping and his emotional state is not making it easy for him to wake up.]] |
| 1203 | ** TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: He finally wakes up from his coma]] in his [[PromotedToPlayable playable version]]. |
| 1204 | * {{Revenge}}: Nehan's motivation in the event is to take revenge on the man who killed his family and clan, Seox. |
| 1205 | * RuleOfSymbolism: Nehan wears a Hannya mask to hide his facial features when first introduced. In Japanese Noh theatre, the Hannya mask represents the souls of women who have been transformed into demons due to obsession or jealousy. The mask itself is said to be both demonic and tormented, displaying the complexity of human emotions. When looked at straight ahead, it shows anger, but if it is viewed at a slight tilt downwards, the mask instead shows a sorrowful expression. This represents [[spoiler:Nehan's anger at Seox for the Karm clan massacre and at the world due to the life he had to endure, and also Nehan's inner sadness that even getting revenge might not help him find closure and by the end of the event, he is tired of living and went to an AngstComa]]. |
| 1206 | * SoleSurvivor: He is [[spoiler:the only survivor of the Karm clan massacre discounting Seox, the one responsible. This becomes a plot point and driving force of "Seeds of Redemption" as he called on the Crew of Enforcers to start the investigation case against Seox for his involvement in the Karm clan massacre]]. |
| 1207 | * SupportPartyMember: Nehan is a FragileSpeedster that specializes in buffing his team with powerful buffs [[PowerAtAPrice that convert them into]] {{Glass Cannon}}s for a set period of time. His charge attack is a trigger sustain that will restore the team's health and cut his skill cooldown by 3 turns, and thus cannot contribute to your current Chain Burst. |
| 1208 | * VillainInAWhiteSuit: He wears a fancy white suit with the typical Erune bareback fashion. Even his mask is mostly white in color. |
| 1209 | * YouKilledMyFather: Inverted. [[spoiler:Seox killed his father, his mother, his sister and his clan. Thus, he rightfully wants {{Revenge}}.]] Played with because Nehan knows his family won't come back and he most likely won't get closure from killing Seox - who was manipulated into killing everyone because of Trancensia and the way he was treated in the clan. |

| 1223 | Melleau's big sister, who is currently looking for her. Or at least that's what she says. Mostly she's just enjoying life too, at her own (absurd) pace. |
| 1224 | ---- |
| 1225 | * ADayInTheLimeLight: She along with Melleau are the central characters of the "Paliuli Pararaiha" event, which focuses on them and their village, along with their sister Lulu. |
| 1226 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: She might act like an ADD-riddled ditz, but she's actually a lot more down-to-earth than she looks like, and can pull off some impressive people skills and plans without even dropping her neverending smile. It's not ObfuscatingStupidity, she is genuinely that weird, but she's not ''dumb'' in any way and that's something that tends to surprise people who don't know her. And that's without getting into her skill in battle. |
| 1227 | * CasualDangerDialogue: In ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #1096, this trope is lampshaded by Pavidus when Melleau and Nemone talk about making cool poses while fighting Tezcatlipoca. |
| 1228 | -->'''Pavidus''': It's nice to see you sisters getting along so well, but... Let's not forget we're in the middle of a battle! |
| 1229 | * ChargedAttack: Her passive, ''Leave it to Nemone'', allows her to stack a special buff everytime she attacks (and loses some of it when she gets hit). Using her third skill, ''Stand In Line'', would then consume those stacks and allow her to gain increased damage for a single turn. |
| 1230 | * CloudCuckooLander: Weird doesn't even begin to cover her attitude. |
| 1231 | * CuteBruiser: Her weapon is a freakishly large battle axe and her specialty is to deal absurd amounts of damage in one shot. Not quite something you'd expect from a short teenager. |
| 1232 | * FashionableAsymmetry: From her chest down to her legs, there are quite a lot of aspects that aren't symmetrical in her outfit. |
| 1233 | * GenkiGirl: In contrast to the ever-slow Melleau, Nemone is downright hyperactive. |
| 1234 | * GlassCannon: She has reduced defenses, but taking hits also increases her charge bar faster. |
| 1235 | * HoldingTheFloor: Pulls this near the end of ''Paliuli Pararaiha'' by unveiling her secret weapon of [[spoiler:declaring herself a kahua taika for Felluca to ride in place of her disabled mount. The elders present completely blow her off, only for her to reveal she stalled for time to get her ''true'' secret weapon in play: the ''local god'' Ku-Keoloewa, who is also a kahua taika and willing to allow Felluca to ride him.]] |
| 1236 | * InSeriesNickname: Nemo-nee ("Big Sis Nemo"). Absent from the English version where the [[LostInTranslation pun doesn't work]]. |
| 1237 | * ReallyRoyaltyReveal: In her cross-fate episode with Melleau. She was actually next in line to the throne, being the eldest of her siblings, but relinquished her post before she could be crowned as one. Her reasoning? She knew that if she didn't take the throne, Melleau will be crowned queen, only for her to give it to Lulu whom she thought would be the best person for the job. |
| 1238 | * SiblingYinYang: Melleau looks sleepy and absent-minded for most part whereas Nemone is downright hyperactive. |
| 1239 | * SuddenlyFluentInGibberish: Subverted. She regularly speaks to monsters just by going "rawr" a few times, but she can't understand them at all. It's just the sheer fearless friendliness she radiates that let her convey her feelings to them. |
| 1240 | * WallOfText: Hilariously done with her unique buff. Rather than the conventional way showcasing stacked buffs by adding a number to show how many stacked buffs she has, her buff (''nemone'') instead adds an extra ''-mone'' at the end, which would eventually [[https://i.redd.it/tije84tjo8501.jpg span offscreen]] due to how ridiculously long it is. |

| 1254 | Idelva's ruler and Sovereign. |
| 1255 | ---- |
| 1256 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:The reason she became Idelva's ruler and sought peace and unification in Nalhegrande Skydom.]] |
| 1257 | * BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:Was knocked out during her captivity in Rhem empire and in the end of chapter 107, was taken away by Gilbert in his pursuit for power]]. |
| 1258 | * BigOlEyebrows: Compared to the rest of the female cast who have linear eyebrows, hers are short but thick, resembling horizontal teardrops. |
| 1259 | * ChildProdigy: She has strong innate magic capabilities even when she's still a young princess. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, the True King used her as an assassin of the kingdom's dissenters. She did question her actions though, and Bai Ze's guidance also made her to be the Sovereign.]] |
| 1260 | * TheChosenOne: Bai Ze chose Pholia to be the next Sovereign because he knew that Pholia understands the value of life, and also seeks and appreciates happiness. |
| 1261 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: In her Valentine's Day episode, Pholia wants to find a way to make chocolate non-lethal to dogs so that she can feed chocolates to Bai Ze (This has a [[TruthInTelevision real-life basis]], as even a small amount of chocolate can be lethal to dogs - they can experience vomiting or diarrhea at most but can complicate into seizures, internal bleeding, or heart attack). What she doesn't realize is that Bai Ze is only a dog in appearance. He is a ''Primal Beast'' who won't just die from eating a chocolate. |
| 1262 | * ContinuityNod: [[spoiler:The Wayfaring Astral arc reveals that Pholia left Nahlgrande with Bai Ze after the Dawning Sky arc was over, a nod to her Grand version where she did just that in her introductory fate episode]]. |
| 1263 | * CrissCrossAttack: In her Elegant Ruby Charge attack, Pholia summons a magical D20 that traps the target inside, while Bai Ze swipes from various directions. |
| 1264 | * DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: While sleeping in Bestia Island, she dreams of her past life as a princess and assassin back when Torhid ruled Nalhegrande before Idelva, until the time she met Bai Ze. |
| 1265 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:In her flashback, she gets one too late after destroying the Torhid Kingdom, realizing she had wanted peace in Nalhegrande all along.]] |
| 1266 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: She was always bound by the kingdom's premises as a leader and used by the True King as an assassin. All she ever wanted was to experience freedom as a normal girl, [[spoiler:which she achieves at the end of the Dawning Sky arc]]. |
| 1267 | -->'''Pholia''': All I wanted was to experience the simple joys of a normal life. |
| 1268 | * LivingMacGuffin: Played with. [[spoiler:A major part of Gilbert's plan is to use her to activate the Great Wall. However, it's revealed that the only reason she's valuable (in relation to the Great Wall) is that her immense magic power would let it be fired several times. However, any person would have at the very least let it fire once, and the real key to using the Great Wall is a member of the Torhid bloodline.]] |
| 1269 | * MarkOfTheSupernatural: One of her eyes has red pupils, the other has green. This is actually a side-effect of her strong magic. |
| 1270 | * MundaneUtility: Pholia can't sleep without a pillow, so she commands Bai Ze to lie down in the grass when they are in Bestia Island. |
| 1271 | * NeverBareheaded: Up until the ''A 37-Year-Old's Sauna Horizons'' event and the subsequent Yukata version during its run, she always seems to have something on her head, even when she's still a princess. Hiding her ears was probably done to prevent players from realizing [[spoiler:that she's related to the Golden Knight]] before the story confirmed it. |
| 1272 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She seems to have aged more slowly than the rest, as a result of her strong magic stunting Pholia's growth. [[spoiler:She's also the Golden Knight's older sister, despite looking a lot younger than her.]] ''A 37-Year-Old's Sauna Horizons'' suggests that she might be slightly older than Deliford, but never gives an exact number. Her age is also made fun of by Vyrn in ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #1126. Then in one comic, she delivers this line: |
| 1273 | -->'''Pholia''': Just look at me! Going Past 30 and Forever Stuck in a Girl's Body! |
| 1274 | * OfferedTheCrown: [[spoiler:Relinquished her role as the Sovereign of Idelva near the end of the second main story arc, so that she can now live as an [[IJustWantToBeNormal ordinary country girl]].]] |
| 1275 | * PaperThinDisguise: Masquerades herself as Leona's childhood friend, but she looks very similar to when she wears her regal attire. Justified in that the crew has never seen her behind the veil prior to her secret test. That said, she also didn't really make an effort to hide her identity. Not helping was Leona being visibly uncomfortable in that entire ordeal. |
| 1276 | * PimpedOutDress: Her attire as the Sovereign of Idelva is a pimped-out silk robe. |
| 1277 | * PromotedToPlayable: She was released in late August 2018 as a part of the Grand series of characters. Later events (like Auld Lang Syne 2018) treat her as a canon member of the crew post-Dawning Sky as a result. |
| 1278 | * SecretTestOfCharacter: Puts the crew in one of these to determine their worthiness of working together with her by hiding her identity and presenting herself as a mere childhood friend of Leona. |
| 1279 | * TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:She steps in between Alliah and Gilbert just as the latter fires an energy orb at her sister. Fortunately, the attack is not fatal and buys enough time for the Grandcypher crew to catch up with them and fight Gilbert.]] |
| 1280 | * TheUnishment: [[spoiler:After the events of Dawning Sky she's exiled from Idelva for her war crimes against the Skydom. However, it's less of a punishment and more of a plausible excuse for her to run away, see the world and get away from the True King. She promptly joins the Grandcypher crew in-story, even if you haven't pulled her from the gacha.]] |
| 1281 | * WalkingSpoiler: Especially concerning the past of Nalhegrande Skydom. |
| 1282 | * WeaponOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:She was used as a weapon to destroy Torhid Kingdom and plunged the entire Nalhegrande Skydom into war.]] |

| 1299 | ---- |
| 1300 | * AffectionateNickname: Honey's real name is Kazann, but he almost always refers to her as Honey. |
| 1301 | * AlternateSelf: The two versions of Sarunan are very different in both story and gameplay. |
| 1302 | * BarbieDollAnatomy: Honey has no visible nipples. |
| 1303 | * CastFromLifespan: He feeds his own ''life force'' to Honey in order to keep her intact. |
| 1304 | * DangerousForbiddenTechnique: |
| 1305 | ** His light version decides to use a forbidden spell in a risky gambit to help Honey. It works but at the price of his life. |
| 1306 | ** His dark version has a village of spirits do this to aid him. What's interesting is that it's not dangerous if used once, but only if used repeatedly, which is why it's forbidden. |
| 1307 | * DestructiveRomance: Much to Honey's frustration. |
| 1308 | * FatalFlaw: He refuses to let Honey fade away, despite her openly saying she'd rather do that than have Sarunan die with her. As a result, he's set to die before he reaches 30 because he refuses to let go. |
| 1309 | * GuardianEntity: Honey, a dying spirit whom he feeds his life force to. |
| 1310 | * HopeSpringsEternal: Sarunan's final fate episodes both have this message. Though given that the dark version takes place some time after his light version's episodes, it failed the first time. |
| 1311 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Sarunan is completely willing to bind Honey to a different person if it means letting her live longer, even if it means she outlives him. She, however, is less than happy with this, and Sarunan cares less about how willing the person she's bound to's thoughts on the matter. |
| 1312 | * LightDarknessJuxtaposition: For the longest time, Sarunan had two versions, light and dark, contrasting one another in terms of color themes, physical appearance, gameplay mechanics, and the general mood of his story arcs or character development. |
| 1313 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: Or rather, love and the fact that said love is literally killing him. The Dark version is effectively standing right above the [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope slippery slope]] in his quest to find an alternate solution to feeding his life force to his binding spell, and his Honey's influence is effectively the only thing stopping him from gleefully jumping off. |
| 1314 | * LoveMartyr: Dark Sarunan is insistent on making himself one, as his remaining lifespan is so short that he's almost certain he can't save himself. |
| 1315 | * MadnessMakeover: He becomes significantly more disheveled as his Dark version. |
| 1316 | * SanitySlippage: As his Dark version slowly loses his tenuous grip on morality, Sarunan begins to look for other Erune to brainwash and have their life force sacrificed to Honey. |
| 1317 | * SickeninglySweethearts: Sarunan's one sided conversations with Honey gives off this impression. |
| 1318 | * TheSleepless: Is physically incapable of sleeping in his dark version, due to the immense strain sharing his life force with Honey causes. |
| 1319 | * YouCanSeeMe: Both him and Honey are surprised at Lyria's ability to communicate with her. |

| 1335 | A true dragon and guardian of Alster Island who sided against the Astrals. For ages, she acted as a defender of Alster, until the most recent king of Alster ordered his knight Naoise to hunt her down and slay her. Being more than just a mortal creature, however, this is far from the end for Deirdre, and with some help from a certain skyfarer Captain, as well as a repentant Naoise, Seruel and Heles, she is able to find herself again... and perhaps even make the first friends, and go on the first adventure, she's had in centuries. |
| 1336 | |
| 1337 | Originally hinted at all the way back at the launch of the game with Naoise's debut, "Scathacha" was a major character for Naoise's story event "Hero's Return" in October of 2015. After much fan feedback of desire for a playable version, she finally hit the gacha at the end of May 2017, following the re-run of "Hero's Return". |
| 1338 | ---- |
| 1339 | * AGodIAmNot: Alster Island holds the Deidre Festival to celebrate their guardian, but the True Dragon doesn't see herself worthy of such praises. |
| 1340 | -->'''Deidre''': But remember a true dragon is not omnipotent. I was unable to stop the tragedy that befell Alster. For that I am sorry. |
| 1341 | * ArtifactAlias: Originally named as an alias to hide her identity, she eventually insists being called by her new name. |
| 1342 | * BalanceBuff: Although her kit was capable of good burst damage, she ended up a bit outclassed by some other damage dealers as time went on after her release. In August of 2018, she actually got a 5★ uncap ''far'' ahead of the usual schedule to address these issues: her attack up was made more or less permanent ''and'' now has a debuff cleanse attached, her CA resets the cooldown on her nuke, allies in her party now do bonus damage when shielded (from '''any''' source, which has amazing synergy with the Grimnir summon) and her nuke now gives her a further enmity buff. All of this made her Wind's premiere attacker by a fair margin. |
| 1343 | * BigEater: A trait of hers that is often discussed by others in the "Bzzt! Amped-Up Summer" event and in the Summer episode of Naoise, where she even checks food stalls one by one after finishing meals. Naoise calls her out on this trait, by stating that negativity of overeating. |
| 1344 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Scathacha and Vyrn are easily close and respectful towards each other, because both are dragons. |
| 1345 | * BizarreAlienBiology: |
| 1346 | ** A lot like playable primal beasts such as Yggdrasil[[note]]Deirdre is a true dragon rather than a primal beast, however[[/note]], Scathacha's Erune-esque body is actually a kind of projection and receptacle for Deirdre's consciousness and power. Unlike some of the primals or other characters, however, her body in this form is sufficiently similar to a "real" Erune that she counts as an Erune for all relevant gameplay mechanics. |
| 1347 | ** Seruel and Heles were involved in its creation... [[NoodleIncident somehow]]. This seems to be why it's more obviously Erune than other such examples. |
| 1348 | * BloodMagic: [[spoiler:When Naoise was on the verge of death, Scathacha shared her blood to him, relieving his wounds in the process. She also confirms the suspicion that those who receive dragon blood will acquire great power and become heroes. But in the worst case scenario, there is a risk of the dragon blood creating a demon out of the recipient.]] |
| 1349 | * BreakoutCharacter: |
| 1350 | ** People had actually been asking for her to be playable ever since the event she debuted in, and were very surprised she wasn't when it first came out. When she finally, finally did come out just after the Hero's Return rerun, she proved so popular and beloved that she unseated '''[[Characters/GranblueFantasyHumansOToZ Vira]]''', who'd dominated the list for ages, and more importantly, she seemingly would've been the first in years to do it consistently across several polls, had [[Characters/GranblueFantasyPrimalCharacters Yggdrasil]] not beaten her in turn. |
| 1351 | ** Her popularity even helped fuel her getting a 5★ uncap ''much'' faster than is typical; while the BalanceBuff was also useful and needed, there were plenty of older characters in need of some help as well, but Scathacha got her uncap only a bit more than a year after her release, which was nearly unheard of prior and is due in no small part to her popularity. |
| 1352 | * CastFromHitPoints: Her third ability allows her to sacrifice 25% of her max health to provide a Shield buff to any party member including herself. |
| 1353 | * TheComicallySerious: She has moments like this, especially during "Hero's Return" when she's out touring town and seeing how the people of Alster live. She tends to take human foibles at face value, usually to comedic effect. She also has shades of this during "Bzzt! Amped-Up Summer", but she's starting to adjust to life among humanoids (she shares the straight-man role with [[Characters/GranblueFantasyPrimalCharacters Olivia]], and discusses human foibles with her once or twice). |
| 1354 | * CoolBigSis: She bonds with Sara in a Cross-Fate Episode as they go shopping together and Sara begins to look up to her as Scathacha also deals with the burden of being an extraordinary person, and she gives Sara some advice on how to deal with this. |
| 1355 | * DeclarationOfProtection: She reaffirms her vow to protect Alster Island after seeing the lives people lived on the island. |
| 1356 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Normally cold and aloof, she warms up to the townsfolk of Alster while touring with Naoise. She further warms to the Captain and crew during the event, eventually culminating in wanting to join them. |
| 1357 | * DesperationAttack: Her second skill Power Seeker, deals greater damage the lower her HP becomes. |
| 1358 | * EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:When she was slain by Naoise in her Deidre form, Heles and Seruel of the Irsetill Kingdom brought her back, now into an Erune body. After her resurrection, Deidre forgave the Irestill house, including Naoise who understood the consequences of his actions.]] |
| 1359 | * EnergyWeapon: The aforementioned Power Seeker is an appropriately large laser beam fired using a magic circle. However, this gets Subverted after her 5★ uncap, as the skill will turn into a slash from three of her projected [[WolverineClaws draconic claws]]. |
| 1360 | * GodInHumanForm: Though her race is Erune, she is an ancient dragon with all the powers that entails. |
| 1361 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: She fights using projections of her dragon body as claws, never actually striking the enemy with her Erune body itself. |
| 1362 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: In the Summer episodes of Naoise, Scathacha [[IntimateLotionApplication offers to rub sunscreen all over him]], not knowing that the image of a young girl doing that to a grown man makes the latter publicly embarrassed. To add insult to injury, Scathacha shouts that she and Noaise practically had been covered with each other's blood before, so he has no reason to be shy. Naoise then reprimands her for not acting in a way that suits her current body. |
| 1363 | * InstantRunes: All of Scathacha's offensive skills show magic circles being summoned near her. Her normal attacks are basically the claws of her dragon body coming out of a portal, Power Seeker is a beam fired from a magic circle (but is replaced with a claw slash post-5★), and Croix Taviel uses four of them to fire a barrage of energy orbs at the enemy. |
| 1364 | * InTheHood: She always wears a small hooded cloak as an Erune. It was originally to keep her hidden and anonymous, but she's grown fond of the look. It even has holes on top to let her Erune ears out. She takes it off in her 5★ upgrade. |
| 1365 | * JackOfAllTrades: Or "Jack of Almost All Play-Styles". A common summary of Scathacha's kit, as the only things she ''cannot do'' are healing allies and landing debuffs. But she is classified as an Attack-type given that ''there is a synergy'' in her playstyle. Also supported by the idea that the first two are offensive skills, and that the nature of an [[CriticalStatusBuff Enmity ]] Wind Grid makes her stronger when she loses a portion of her health upon using the third. |
| 1366 | ** The first skill is a Wind attack buff for all members (support). At level 90, this gets upgraded to remove 1 debuff from all allies, an ability similar to "Clear" which is mostly exclusive to Heal style characters. |
| 1367 | ** The second skill is a straight-up nuke (attack) |
| 1368 | ** The third skill is a Shield buff for one ally at the cost of Scathacha's HP (defense). |
| 1369 | ** Her Claw of the Dragon passive allows her to deal 20% increased damage against the weaker element of Earth (something that only some Primal and unique characters have, and that she won't have to rely on a Seraphic weapon). |
| 1370 | ** Her Eternal Wisdom passive boosts her multi-attack rates whenever her Wind attack is buffed. This has a synergy with her first skill and that she doesn't have to rely on a support to receive multi-attack buffs. |
| 1371 | ** Her EMP passive strengthens her Eternal Wisdom as it also increases her chance to dodge. |
| 1372 | * MeaningfulRename: Deirdre to Scathacha by Naoise. He based it from a queen of a fairy tale who was sagacious and brave. After all, in her current state, Scathacha is a female Erune being protected by knights, two of them are of royalty who treat her with high respect. Figuratively speaking, she acts like a queen to Naoise, Heles, and Seruel. |
| 1373 | * MundaneObjectAmazement: Naturally, since she previously used a dragon body, and that interacting with normal skyfarer objects and cultures would amaze her at first. |
| 1374 | --> Mm. That sleeping apparatus you call a bed isn't bad. |
| 1375 | * MysticalWhiteHair: Much like the fur of her dragon form, she has platinum-white hair, and she fights using projected power from her main body and is basically a GodInHumanForm. |
| 1376 | * NoodleIncident: Precisely what Seruel and Heles did to create the Scathacha body for Deirdre. They were involved in its creation somehow, and it seems to rely on a form of ancestral magic, but aside from the blood Naoise shed when first killing her and which remained on his old armor being used in some fashion (and ''this'' information only comes at the very end of her level 100 Fate Episode) the game has never really gone into detail about just what was involved. (Of course, the theories get ''wild'' when people point out that "Scathacha" does ''look'' somewhat similar to both of them...) |
| 1377 | * OddFriendship: With Threo in "Bzzt! Amped Up Summer". That is, a true dragon being friends with one who figuratively (and even literally) "eats dragons for breakfast". |
| 1378 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler:Sharing dragon blood with a mortal presents the risk of making a demon out of the recepient. Scathacha is worried about this possibility that she fears to have made the wrong decision in saving the life of Naoise by sharing her blood. But Naoise requests a promise that Scathacha must be the only one to kill him should he stray from the path of righteousness.]] |
| 1379 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Her Erune body is ''really'' small. Like, four-and-a-half-feet-tall small. She's also got just about all her power available to her in that form and is capable of astounding feats of power in it, [[spoiler:up to and including injuring and driving away a fellow True Dragon whose scales are like armored plates]]. |
| 1380 | * PowerEchoes: Her voice echoes when in her True Dragon Deidre form. |
| 1381 | * PromotedToPlayable: Introduced as an NPC in an event, and was made recruitable on May 31st 2017 via the Premium Draw. |
| 1382 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: The body fashioned for her by Heles and Seruel in no way reflects Scathacha's actual age. She is in fact somewhat ''older'' than a number of the primal beasts. Her profile doesn't even use a number and simply lists "alive since at least the War of the Astrals". |
| 1383 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: She has very prominent ruby-red eyes. (This is actually a little bit curious, since as Deirdre she has obvious SupernaturalGoldEyes.) The "Take Warning" part comes from the fact that she might well be one of the most powerful members of the Grancypher crew, full stop, in lore and even in mechanics is capable of some of the highest burst damage in the entire ''game'', as detailed below. |
| 1384 | * SchrodingersButterfly: Scathacha's Erune body is active while her dragon body sleeps and vice versa. |
| 1385 | * ShipTease: With Naoise. Yes, the man who previously stabbed her to death. It is ''extremely'' complicated (and also somewhat linked to her mythological inspiration). Her InnocentlyInsensitive offer of having to [[IntimateLotionApplication rub sunscreen on Naoise]] in the latter's Summer episodes even add more fuel into this. |
| 1386 | * SituationalDamageAttack: One of the most dramatic in the game. Her second skill does more damage the lower her HP is; set up correctly (Scathacha at nearly 1 HP, and with the buff from her Charge Attack up), it is capable of doing somewhere in the neighborhood of ''a million and a half damage or more'' in one shot. With the correct team comp (involving [[Characters/GranblueFantasyPrimalCharacters Summer Zooey]]) and during Strike Time, she's capable of doing this ''on the second turn of combat''. More generally, her third skill is purposefully set up to allow her to set herself up for this. |
| 1387 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: |
| 1388 | ** She's ''prrrrrobably'' supposed to be [[Myth/CelticMythology Scáthach]] - in katakana, this character's name is spelled very much like other instances of the mythological character/name in other works (the sole difference is that her name has an elongated vowel after the "ka" in Japanese - the spelling is スカーサハ, whereas the standard transliteration of Scáthach is スカサハ). However, given just how famous her opposite number in ''Granblue'''s [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder greatest competitor]] is, how comparatively little she has to do with the traditional legends of the character (she is, surprise, patterned far more off Deirdre from ''Literature/TheExileOfTheSonsOfUisnech''), and how the name in kana ends with "ha" sound, the writing team decided to deliberately flense the spelling a little to make it unique. |
| 1389 | ** A few fans and sites spell her name as "Skasaha", which is basically a direct romanization of the kana of her name in Japanese. |
| 1390 | * VaporWear: Rather infamously, her outfit doesn't appear to have any undergarments. (What makes it extra goofy is that her ''beach'' version ''does''. Dragons get bashful at the beach?) |
| 1391 | * VocalDissonance: She is a decent bit deeper in voice than you'd really expect out of someone as small as the Scathacha body. It's helped by her voice actress being a bit older, and it's rather what you'd expect out of the voice of [[VideoGame/SoulCalibur Taki]]. |
| 1392 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: Eventually learns how to transform between her True Dragon Deidre and Scathacha bodies at will. |
| 1393 | * WolverineClaws: She summons a spectral manifestation of her actual draconic claws in combat, and they leave out three scratch trails. |

| 1429 | A young woman from a remote, rural village. The protagonist invites her to join the crew after she expresses a desire to see the world, and seeing her considerable strength. |
| 1430 | ---- |
| 1431 | * AnimalMotif: Cats, from her fighting style, to her outfit, to her mannerisms. Her fate episode reveals that she was compared to a cat when she was younger, and went with it to make the rest of the village happy... and they let it get a bit out of hand. |
| 1432 | * ApologizesALot: A lot of her lines in battle, from getting knocked out, to [[ApologeticAttacker attacking the enemy]], and even her victory speech, all feature her apologizing. |
| 1433 | * BadassAdorable: One of, if not ''the'', strongest SR character, and overwhelmingly adorable. |
| 1434 | * ChargedAttack: Her third skill, when cast, stops her from attacking and she gains a stacking attack buff for every turn where she doesn't attack. When the skill is re-cast, the buff is applied and her next attack deals massive amounts of damage based on the number of stacks. |
| 1435 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She has no proper training or technique, just the skills she picked up living in a frontier town. |
| 1436 | * CounterAttack: Her Christmas version's Charm Storm is notable for combining the Substitute and Counters on Dodge buffs in one skill. This forces the enemies to attack Sen and have her dodge and retaliate in turn. |
| 1437 | * CountryMouse: She's fascinated by the world outside her small village, and has difficulty refusing people, even when asked to do things that embarrass her. |
| 1438 | * CuteBruiser: She's a shy cat-girl who fights by punching or swiping enemies. |
| 1439 | * ADayInTheLimelight: She's the main character of the event ''The Many Lives of Cats'', which saw the debut of her SSR version. |
| 1440 | * GotMeDoingIt: Despite saying that she doesn't like being compared to a cat, she meows of her own volition when she gets particularly excited. |
| 1441 | * KindheartedCatLover:: She, alongside Dante, are the ones who take care of all the cats, and Ewiyar, on the Grancypher. |
| 1442 | * PerformanceAnxiety: Her Christmas Version's Fate Episodes has her overcoming her own stage fright with the guidance of Clarisse and Ladiva. |
| 1443 | * PowerFist: Her weapons are actually very large gloves and she has normal-sized hands underneath, though a comic strip comically reveals that she is not used to grasping objects without said gloves. |
| 1444 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's very much the rough-and-tumble outdoorsy type sporting BoyishShortHair, but her personality is very demure and sweet. |

| 1460 | ---- |
| 1461 | * BadassCape: In both of his outfits, Seruel wears very large capes that would even touch the floor. |
| 1462 | * BishieSparkle: ''Grand Blues!'' depicts him with this as he does ''everything'' with incredibly graceful poise, making even the simple act of taking out the garbage elegant. |
| 1463 | * BackupFromOtherworld: In his 5★ episode, [[spoiler:Skadi creates a doppelganger of King Connor to remind Seruel of his mistakes and send him to a HeroicBSOD. This doesn't stick long enough as the real spirit of Connor appears, [[ConfrontingYourImposter debunking the first image as an impostor]].]] |
| 1464 | * ChickMagnet: Some female Alster citizens fall head over heels for him, especially when they see him on top of his [[WhiteStallion white horse]]. |
| 1465 | * TheChosenOne: Glom Glas only gleams in the hands of someone deemed worthy of the previous protector, making Seruel the chosen successor or proper heir to the king. |
| 1466 | * CrystalBall: Lia Fail, the oracle-stone can reveal a person's fate and the path that they should seek. Seruel touches this to help himself realize if he is truly worthy of being the king's successor. |
| 1467 | * IAmXSonOfY: Says this upon finding his resolve near the end of his 5★ episode. |
| 1468 | --> In the end, I am Seruel, son of Connor. |
| 1469 | * InformedAttribute: His ability as a King. In the Alster storylines we often hear the cast praise Heles and Seruel for their abilities as leaders. Throughout Heles' Fate Episodes we get to see the evidence to these claims on her part, with Seruel... Not so much, due to either his reluctance to intervene or his focus on being a knight. This is especially noticeable because the story keeps insisting that he is the true heir to the Throne, while he does nothing related to his duties and Heles does most of the decision-making with the council. |
| 1470 | * MustMakeAmends: The village's request for hunting one monster caused the rest of its kind to go out of control and attack the villagers in retaliation. Seruel feels responsible for accepting the quest in the first place. |
| 1471 | * NamedWeapons: His sword is named Gorm Glas. |
| 1472 | * ParentalSubstitute: Along with her son Naoise who was still a baby back then, Elisheba adopted and raised Heles and Seruel when their mother Mugain passed away. |
| 1473 | * SuperWindowJump: In ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #1122, Seruel jumped out of the window when Scathacha suggested him to wear a Maiden Outfit. |
| 1474 | * WarriorPrince: From the kingdom of Irestill. |
| 1475 | * WhiteStallion: He rides a white horse fitting for his status as a royalty. He gets to allow Ange ride on it in their Cross-Fate Episode. |

| 1512 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He once had an older sister who he was forced to euthanize after she became addicted to a drug sold to her when Shao had been away. Despite his efforts to try to find a cure, he was eventually forced to end her suffering after failing to find a solution by putting her to sleep for good]] |
| 1513 | * EyesAlwaysShut: By default, though he opens them for his charge attack in gameplay and for his Skybound pose. |
| 1514 | * FeigningIntelligence: In the Doctor EX II quest, [[spoiler:Shao pretends that he knows how to [[AwesomenessByAnalysis distinguish poison using his sense of smell]]. But it turns out, it was merely a gamble on his part to intimidate and elicit a reaction from a medicine vendor accused of selling poison. It worked.]] |
| 1515 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:His second fate episode has him meeting an old lady who was ill, but as it turns out, the old lady was dying as she had been given poison by debt collectors and he decided not to tell the crew about it not knowing how they'll react. At best, all he could do was give a MercyKill to her by curing her pain and let her die peacefully because some lives are too late to be saved. As good as he says about himself about medical work, there are times where he failed. He acknowledge this by also telling that he is just a doctor, not a god that can cure everything.]] |
| 1516 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In his introductory Fate Episode, he instantly disappears the moment the thugs catch up to him, leaving the player and co. to run away on their own. |

| 1531 | The heiress of an ancient dynasty of Erune royalty, Societte has embarked an a quest to recover her family's sacred treasures, rediscover their lost ritual dances, and to find a person who is very, very important to her. She joins the crew after they offer to help her on her journey, and is soon shocked to find one of her objectives almost immediately... |
| 1532 | |
| 1533 | First hinted at all the way back when Yuel was introduced, Societte became recruitable alongside March 2015's Unite & Fight event. She later got a continuation of her story with a Fire version in September of 2016, releasing alongside the ill-fated Arcanum game mode. She is one of the stars of November 2017's "Forgiveness and Gratitude" event. |
| 1534 | ---- |
| 1535 | * AccentAdaptation: Her Kansai dialect is translated into a Southern US accent in the English version. |
| 1536 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The November 2017 story event "Forgiveness and Gratitude" is focused on advancing her & Yuel's plotline concerning their search for the family treasures and Lady Ninetails. |
| 1537 | * BalanceBuff: Her Fire version had some of the gimmicky skills and a detrimental passive rolled into one. She suffered from a 30% defense penalty when dancing, making her a SquishyWizard, and her CounterAttack/dodge mechanics were too reliant on RNG. A rebalance patch on June 2019 resolved these issues wherein she gains a guaranteed DrawAggro via a Substitute buff, and she now gains ''increased defense'' instead of suffering from a penalty of it. |
| 1538 | * CleavageWindow: Socie's dancing outfits leave an opening for her chest. This is made more obvious in her Wind version. |
| 1539 | * {{Cliffhanger}}: Her Fire version's Fate episode ends with the task of finding a lost child, and a vision of Ninetails burning the previous ceremonial dancers. These events are later continued in the "Forgiveness and Gratitude" event. |
| 1540 | * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: In her Fire version, Societte wears a ceremonial robe to help awaken more of Ninetails' power within her. |
| 1541 | * CombatHandFan: Uses two large hand fans as a part of her dance-based abilities. |
| 1542 | * CoolBigSis: To Kou, though he's a complete {{Tsundere}} with her and Yuel. |
| 1543 | * CutenessProximity: Her and Yuel with Kou. They even bicker over which one gets to give him a piggyback ride. |
| 1544 | * DanceBattler: Directs her fox-fire and casts spells by performing elaborate ritual dances with her magic fans. Her Fire version is somewhat more obviously this, as she shifts to becoming a defensive character whose dance draws enemy attacks to herself. |
| 1545 | * DrawAggro: |
| 1546 | ** Part of what her "Closing Dance: Tokiyomi Kai" does; it draws aggression to Societte (which she can dodge using "Opening Dance: Shimotsuki"). It also gives her allies a massive boost to multi-attacking, allowing them to go crazy. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration As it turns out, this means she and Yuel make a great team.]] |
| 1547 | ** Funnily enough, unlike most tanks, her increased aggro draw comes alongside ''[[SquishyWizard a defense drop]]''. The whole point is that she has a way to dodge attacks, but if and when that runs out, she can get slapped around fairly hard. You don't just want to drop the dance when she loses her dodge, though, since it takes a while to recast and the benefit to keeping it up, or at least maxing out the stack, is substantial. {{Subverted}} in a [[BalanceBuff rebalance patch]] on June 2019, no longer making her squishy from a defense drop penalty. |
| 1548 | * GratuitousJapanese: The names of her skills and Charge Attacks are Japanese words that are kept even in the English localization such as Tenka, Kagura, Bizen, Tokiyomi, Zuika, Shimotsuki, Unryu and Tokiyomi-aratame. |
| 1549 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Yuel. Though the "[[ShipTease heterosexual]]" part comes into question with some interactions. |
| 1550 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: A couple of thugs looking to steal her bloodline's treasures claim they're servants of her family. She believes them, and cheerfully introduces them to the rest of the party as new friends. |
| 1551 | * ImpossiblyCoolClothes: An invocation of the trope that makes at least a ''little'' more sense (especially compared to her friend Yuel), as she's basically an ''odori'' fan dancer and her outfits are based on fan-dancer kimono. Her Fire one in particular, though, is still not really terribly practical (being both a bit too scantily cut in certain areas to reliably remain on for dancing as active as hers, while also featuring sleeves that realistically would get badly in the way). Her fans are also impossibly huge. |
| 1552 | * NotADate: [[spoiler:In Yuel's Summer episode, Societte gets stalked because the crew noticed a change in her expression, while she also buys a gift. When Societte talks to a certain man, Yuel jumps out thinking it was a [[MistakenForRomance proposal]]. But Societte says this trope, explaining that the man was just a tour guide and that the gift was actually for Yuel.]] |
| 1553 | * NotTheIntendedUse: For a long while, she actually saw a fair bit of use off-element with her Fire version; because her most dramatic buff was non-elemental, she could contribute to almost any team. Certain other support pairings also made her an even better tank than she usually was on a Fire team. This eventually got nerfed because for a few teams (particularly Zooey-having Dark), it was just getting ''too'' crazy and was limiting what kind of gear was valuable or worth designing and her buffs were made Fire-only, although in trade she was made significantly easier to use overall. |
| 1554 | * PimpedOutDress: Well, what do you expect from someone who dances elegantly? Her outfits are just as colorful and gorgeous as her, though this applies more to her Wind version's attire. |
| 1555 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Yuel's Red. Societte is soft-spoken, thoughtful and introverted, whereas Yuel is energetic, impulsive, and out-going. To make things more apparent, Societte wields blue flames that can freeze her enemies, while Yuel's fox-fire is red and burns hot. |
| 1556 | * ShrinkingViolet: She's definitely shy and quiet, but not exactly timid. |
| 1557 | * SpeakInUnison: In Yuel's Summer episode, Yuel and Societte speak the same lines simultaneously when they reveal that they hid each other's clothes. |
| 1558 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Some fans tend to call her "Socie", because that's closer to the actual pronunciation of the kana of her name. The artbooks do indicate that Societte is the correct form of her name, however (the Ts are simply silent, French style). |
| 1559 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The quiet, demure Girly Girl to Yuel's Tomboy. |
| 1560 | * WalkingSpoiler: If you get Yuel, spoiler, the friend she's talking about early on is Societte. The previews for Societte's own Fate Episodes make no attempt to hide this. |
| 1561 | * YamatoNadeshiko: Gives off this vibe as she appears graceful, elegant, gentle, and refined. She's also an ''odori'' fan dancer (without being called such directly). |

| 1574 | |
| 1575 | A spirited, if rather meek young man hired as a bodyguard for Aliza. |
| 1576 | ---- |
| 1577 | * AnchoredShip: He and Aliza had plans to get married at the beginning of the "Boots & Blades" event. However, by the end of the event both of them realize they still have some growing up to do before they can think about marriage and decide to put their relationship on hold. |
| 1578 | * ArtEvolution: Stan went through significant visual changes on his subsequent story event appearances. |
| 1579 | * BadLiar: Stan is a nervous wreck when making up excuses, which raises more suspicions to the point where Wahid had him secretly followed. |
| 1580 | * BadassLongcoat: He wears one as an SR character, it also helped cover up the life threatening disease he had at the time. |

| 1583 | * BodyguardCrush: He's hired to protect Aliza and develops feelings for her soon after. |
| 1584 | * BodyguardingABadass: Probably the most awkward part of their relationship. In theory, Stan is the bodyguard, but his princess is both stronger and more fight-happy than he is, and tends to destroy him in sparring matches. |
| 1585 | * CowardlyLion: He's plenty competent as a warrior, but he frightens easily and doubts his own strength. |
| 1586 | * DontLookAtMe: He contracts a fatal illness during the Boots and Blades event, and attempts to distance himself from Aliza, knowing that seeing him slowly wither away and die would break her heart. |
| 1587 | * ExpressiveEars: Now has these following his [[ArtEvolution new appearance]] in the "Dancing Avengers" event. |
| 1588 | * {{Foil}}: Stan's and Aliza's romantic relationship is more reserved and both are shy to even talk about it in public. Whereas the "Dancing Avengers" event mirrors their situation with the relationship of Attiyah and Tabina who are more vocal and openly romantic. This even gets {{discussed}} as Stan acknowledges both couples' similarities of having a sort of ParentalMarriageVeto from the female's parents and that they had to part ways from their beloved, leaving them [[IWillWaitForYou lamenting over separation]]. |
| 1589 | * GibberishOfLove: Was about to confess his love to Aliza once more in "Dancing Avengers: Flames of the Heart" [[spoiler:but fails miserably due to his stuttering. Aliza is stil able to predict what he was about to say, though]]. |
| 1590 | * HasAType: Noted by Vyrn in the "What Makes The Sky Blue" event, Stan seems to gain the attention of ActionGirl[=s=]. And the ones who were interested at him both have fire as their elements. (Aliza and Archangel Michael specifically) |
| 1591 | * IJustWantToBeBadass: He doesn't think that he's good enough for Aliza and desperately wants to become stronger. |
| 1592 | * ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Is briefly surprised at Tabina's first impression of him, particularly her last statement: |
| 1593 | -->'''Tabina''': It's the wrong guy again! Who's this, and what's with the dumb look on his face? |
| 1594 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: He contracted Llana's disease, which was supposedly fatal and has no discovered cure. |
| 1595 | * InterspeciesRomance: With Aliza, who is a Draph. |
| 1596 | * OfficialCouple: He gets a lot of ShipTease with Aliza during her introductory event. By the time of the follow-up "Boots and Blades" event, they're openly dating and hoping to get Aliza's parents' blessing for their continued relationship. |
| 1597 | * ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:The pairs Attiyah-Tabina and Stan-Aliza defeat the god Tahar with this, by expressing their love to their respective partners out loud. The positivity of which would make Tahar vulnerable.]] |
| 1598 | * StraightMan: Stan is relegated to this role in "Dancing Avengers" whenever people suddenly burst into song. |

| 1614 | Metera's younger sister, she left her island to chase down her sister after the latter stole their father's savings and bring her back home. |
| 1615 | ---- |
| 1616 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The "Table For Six" event features Sutera as the main character. |
| 1617 | * AlphaStrike: How Metera and Sutera finally sealed the primal beast Marduk – By raining arrows simultaneously until it can no longer regenerate, forcing it to remain in deep sleep for a long time. |
| 1618 | * BigSisterWorship: She, for whatever reason, admires and adores her lazy big sister, Metera. |
| 1619 | * CombatStilettos: Her SSR version sports quite long heels, though not to the extent of her sister's. |
| 1620 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: Her strict mindset and discipline leads her to some weird ideas. |
| 1621 | ** She's told by Vyrn that she should be a little more like her sister, relax a little and have some fun. Sutera immediately jumps to the conclusion that she should duel a man like Metera does occasionally. |
| 1622 | ** When brought to a massage by her sister, she thinks it's ''endurance training'' and ignores repeated requests for her to relax her body, tightening it instead to get herself through it. |
| 1623 | ** Sutera tries to emulate the seductive speaking mannerism of Metera towards boys in an ImagineSpot with Tomoi, and he faints as a result of her suddenly sexy voice. Because of this incident, she warns Metera not to speak to Tomoi or else he would really die. |
| 1624 | * TheComicallySerious: More or less plays this role in the "Table for Six" event, not understanding the slang Lowain uses or the delusions the others are having. |
| 1625 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks: Metera had a natural talent but Sutera had to work hard to even try in achieving the same level. Despite Sutera's efforts, she still thinks she CantCatchUp to Metera. |
| 1626 | * LeeroyJenkins: In "Yesterday's Scars and Tomorrow's Hopes", she planned to fight the Forbidding One Marduk on her own, but the protagonist stops her from going alone. Yet, even when they teamed-up, Sutera is still as reckless to charge ahead of them. Metera had to remind Sutera that her lack of planning isn't going to help. |
| 1627 | * NotAMorningPerson: Sutera is this, as explained by Metera in their Cross-Fate Episode. |
| 1628 | * OnionTears: In the ''Grand Blues! Radio'' quest "Why so Sad, Sutera?", Sutera had teary red eyes after cutting onions, which Aster mistook for something else such as having an emotional breakdown. |
| 1629 | * PuppyDogEyes: She does this when she wants to plead or elicit sympathy from her sister when making requests. |
| 1630 | * SacredBowAndArrows: She inherits her people's Arcane Bow after going through a trial of battle. |
| 1631 | * SheCleansUpNicely: Metera decides that she was in dire need of a makeover after seeing how Sutera didn't put any effort into making herself look nice or clean up the mud and sweat after a training session. Her third outfit is the result of Metera and Korwa working together to make her look as nice as possible for the mixer. |
| 1632 | * SleepSquashing: Happens in ''Grand Blues!'' Comic #666 as Sutera, who was feeling cold, tightly hugs Aster. |
| 1633 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: There's some suspicion that her name ''should'' be "Stella", to match possible theme naming with her sister (i.e., they'd be Stella and Mete(o)ra) but "Sutera" is what the art books and whatnot go with, so... |
| 1634 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: In Metera's Fire version episode, she and Sutera went shopping for ''winter clothes''. However, what they bought were actually showing off more skin instead of covering it. This is the outfit that Sutera wears in her Fire version. |
| 1635 | * TheTease: "Table For Six" shows that Sutera has no problems with switching to a seductive voice just like her sister. |
| 1636 | * VariantPowerCopying: Sutera's Event version has a Jade Crest Mechanic which is very similar to the Aetherial Seal Mechanic that Metera has in her Fire version. From the Charge Attack, first skill, augmentations for their second and third skills, the second Support skill and even their EMP passives. There is a [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration justification]] for the similarities. Sutera's motivation in her Event version is to emulate her sister in many ways, in order to reach the same level of skill that Metera naturally possesses. |
| 1637 | * WilliamTelling: Parodied in her ''[[GagSeries Grand Blues!]]'' debut. Sutera attempts this trope with an apple on top of Vyrn's head. But the lizard simply grabs the apple, [[TrademarkFavoriteFood eats it]] and mocks her. An irritated Sutera is later seen choking the apple out of the tiny dragon. |

| 1650 | ---- |
| 1651 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: His hair and face make him look rather feminine. |
| 1652 | * FakeUltimateHero: He's convinced that he's the successor of an ancient hero, and the people of his village enable him because it lets them trick him into doing their chores for them. Though his Fate Episodes imply he might not be as wrong as he seems. |
| 1653 | * LadyAndKnight: In their Cross-Fate episode, Vania and Thelonim roleplay these respectively. And after a series of dialogues, Vania agrees to have Thelonim become her body guard, under the condition that Thelonim must become stronger than her. |
| 1654 | * PinkySwear: Thelonim and Vania perform this after their LadyAndKnight roleplay. |

| 1688 | * SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler: In her Fate Episode she makes the mistake of feeling momentary sympathy toward [[ManipulativeBastard Ferdinand]] which allows him to toss sand in her eyes and escape]]. |
| 1689 | * VerbalTic: Often ends her sentences in "-shi" in Japanese, which isn't present in the translation. [[spoiler: Notably, it's a trait she lacks in her flashbacks prior to merging with Shannon. Shannon uses the VerbalTic frequently in the flashbacks, indicating that the trait comes from her.]] |

| 1705 | A former knight of a fallen kingdom who eventually joined the Grandcypher crew after the death of the princess he served for. He wields the Horoscope weapon, The Durandal. |
| 1706 | ---- |
| 1707 | * DamageIncreasingDebuff: Reprise inflicts the target with a stackable Water Defense Down debuff. |
| 1708 | * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:The end of ''Unbound Asterism'' has Felix's personality in control as a member of Navis in opposition to the crew.]] |
| 1709 | * GatheringSteam: His Visions of a Hero passive lets him build Sacred Recollection levels when he deals critical hits. Each Sacred Recollection level boosts his multiattack rate, defense, and debuff resistance. |
| 1710 | * TheMole: [[spoiler:Not Troue himself, but his original personality, Felix, was sabotaging the crew's efforts on behalf of Navis, as revealed in ''Unbound Asterism''.]] |
| 1711 | * PowerAtAPrice: Possibly due to a result of Troue wielding the Durandal, he gains the ability to read through memories and thoughts of people, but it comes at the price of some of his memories being erased. [[spoiler:''Unbound Asterism'' reveals that it's actually transforming into any target and the catch is that Troue has a darker and repressed personality that pops up when he's not awake. The ability to read memories was already a part of him before Durandal.]] |
| 1712 | * PowerCopying: Troue can use Souvenance to copy an ally's skill. |
| 1713 | * SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:His second personality is the zeroth ranked Auditor of the Navis, Felix.]] |

| 1727 | A mysterious girl with fox ears debuting in the "Kou and The Hollowed Existence" event. |
| 1728 | ---- |
| 1729 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:It's revealed at the finale of her event that Ninetails sealed away her memories in order to make her more pliable.]] |
| 1730 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: ''Boy''. [[spoiler:Being abandoned in a cave after being told that she is failure, finding out her parents actually loved her... but then have that piece of memory sealed so the Ninetails can make You a vessel for her resurrection does a number to her]]. |
| 1731 | * EasilyForgiven: Averted for the most part since [[spoiler:You had to work on getting people she had wronged throughout the event to forgive her]]. |
| 1732 | * GenkiGirl: After her redemption, she's shown to be quite cheerful especially when it comes to Yuel, Kou and Sochiette. |
| 1733 | * GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:Despite the assurance that her parents did indeed love her, You is also jealous of Kou for having the love of people around him and for being referred to as a successful vessel. Ninetails made use of this jealousy to make You more pliable after sealing the memory of knowing her parents loved her]]. |
| 1734 | * TheHeavy: While she was initially the antagonistic force throughout the event, the BigBad is [[spoiler:Ninetails who used You for her resurrection]]. |
| 1735 | * MeaningfulName: Her name's similarity to Kou is very much intentional as [[spoiler:she was intended to be the backup vessel, but no one had any hopes in her so they just gave her name incredibly similar to Kou as a reminder of her inevitable failure.]] |
| 1736 | * MsFanservice: Her outfit reveals a lot of skin, which is surprising for a young girl. |
| 1737 | * ShipTease: With Kou in both her debut event and her (SSR) Fate episodes. |
| 1738 | * ThePowerOfLove: What saves her from her brainwashed state. This also becomes what redeems her in the end. |
| 1739 | * UnusualEars: She has ''very'' large ears, even for an Erune and especially for an Erune that's intended to be a child. These combined with her unusual amount of tails makes her stand out among the rest of the Erune's the players were previously introduced to. |
| 1740 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: She was a child from the eighth branch of the royal family [[spoiler:who was subjected to torture in order to become a vessel of the Ninetails, but when Kou succeeded, she was left in a cave to be buried alive but managed to make an escape thanks to her parents... but then the Ninetails approach her and sealed the memory of the knowledge about her parents actually loving her so she can truly be Ninetails' vessel]]. |

| 1755 | |
| 1756 | Yuel is the servant of an ancient line of royalty possessing great power, and Societte's close friend. Yuel sets out on a journey to recover the ancient dynasty's sacred treasures and restore the bloodline to their former glory. |
| 1757 | |
| 1758 | Originally from ''Rage of Bahamut'', Yuel was added in May 2014 as an SSR associated with the "Cowardly Hero" event. She later got a 5★ upgrade in early 2016, and was also the star of the November 2017 event "Forgiveness and Gratitude", being the free SR character for the event... and she got a second SSR to go along with it. She also made a cameo in ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}''. |
| 1759 | ---- |
| 1760 | * AccentAdaptation: Her Kansai dialect is translated in the English version to a Southern US accent. |
| 1761 | * AdaptationalModesty: Her appearance in [[VideoGame/GranblueFantasyVersus Versus]] is based on her water SSR version, but like Metera and Zeta, she was given ModestyShorts. |
| 1762 | * AdaptationalSpeciesChange: Despite being categorized as a God in ''Rage of Bahamut'', she was made an Erune upon being added to ''Granblue Fantasy''. |
| 1763 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The November 2017 story event "Forgiveness and Gratitude" is focused on advancing her & Societte's plotline concerning their search for Societte's [[spoiler:(well, Yuel's ''and'' Societte's, but)]] family treasures and Lady Ninetails. It resulted in Yuel getting ''two'' new versions (both Water), similar to Cagliostro getting two new versions during her focus event. |
| 1764 | * ArtEvolution: Being an early character, her base art is much more in Hideo Minaba's old style and stands out a little compared to her 3★ and 5★ uncap art as well as her water and wind versions' art. The original art also still lacks variant facial expressions, while her SR and Water SSR versions have them. (The swimsuit version treats SSR Water Yuel as the new "default" Yuel as a result.) |
| 1765 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Her Cross-Fate with Mary has Yuel lead the party on a goose chase across a remote island as she's constantly distracted by flowers, wildlife, and the scenery. |
| 1766 | * BalanceBuff: |
| 1767 | ** Her 5★ update is generally considered to have been one of the most dramatic in the game's history, as it took her from being badly outdated to being one of the most powerful Fire characters in the entire ''game''. It gave her party buffs, made her heal meaningful, and allowed her to become a near-permanent double attack monster, especially when paired with fire Societte. |
| 1768 | ** Interestingly, her Water SSR is ''not'' this; Fire Yuel was pretty well sorted in her 5★ update and didn't need any further "refinement". Water SSR Yuel is instead a completely new design intended to fill in the support roles that Water Societte ''doesn't'' fill. |
| 1769 | * BoobsAndButtPose: Done to varying degrees in three of Yuel's versions, although the Summer version is the most obvious case. |
| 1770 | * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Her SSR Water Version is basically Yuel making use of the abilities given to her by the Ceremonial Robe. |
| 1771 | * DamageIncreasingDebuff: Her Water version's third skill can inflict the "Foxflame" debuff on a foe which is already a Blind combined with a Poison status effect. But one of its quirks is due to Yuel's passive "Scarlet Robe" where all allies deal a bonus 10% damage to enemies affected by the Foxflame debuff. |
| 1772 | * DePower: [[spoiler:In her 5★ Fate Episode, she loses her fox-fire and becomes extremely weak. She learns that her connection to the Ninetails, the source of the royal bloodline's power, is growing weak, and has to perform one of the lost ritual dances Societte has been looking for to regain her strength.]] |
| 1773 | ** CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:Naturally, doing this and performing her 5★ upgrade makes her substantially more powerful, even in-lore.]] |
| 1774 | * DualWielding: Wields a pair of matching short swords. |
| 1775 | * {{Expy}}: She is more or less this to her ''Rage Of Bahamut'' counterpart as she is notable for being one of the few characters that originated from ''Rage Of Bahamut'' that has very little to do with their original ''Rage Of Bahamut'' character. While most others have been repurposed to fit the ''Granblue Fantasy'' universe but retain some context or references to their origin game lore and character types, outside of her character design and name, she is an original ''Granblue Fantasy'' character. |
| 1776 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Her Water SSR version has a ribbon tied to her right leg. |
| 1777 | * FlamingSword: Yuel's blades are engulfed in flames whenever she uses her Crimson Dance: Yugetsu. |
| 1778 | * FurBikini: There's a fur shawl attached to her... backless... bikini-top? All we know is that the shawl's big enough to loop behind her head and the only thing keeping the whole assembly in place is [[TheissTitillationTheory the cruelty of the universe]]. |
| 1779 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: |
| 1780 | ** As it so happens, she and fire-Societte play extremely well together, since Yuel can heal her while she tanks, while Soci can help buff Yuel up to 100% Double Attack ''without'' Eye of the Sparrow up, which transforms Yuel into a tornado of destruction. Fittingly, Yuel later got a water version so that she can be used in an on-element team with Societte's original version. |
| 1781 | ** Their twin Water versions, meanwhile, together provide all the support effects a team could ever possibly need. |
| 1782 | ** Her SR and SSR Water versions are used plot-wise in the story of "Forgiveness and Gratitude" - She starts of the event wearing a red outfit in her SR version. Upon wearing the ceremonial robe needed to stop Ninpress, she gains new abilities which are later reflected in her SSR version. Additionally, the element of Ninpress is Fire, and with the games ElementalRockPaperScissors mechanic, her new SSR's element is superior over the beast. |
| 1783 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite her unlock weapon being an axe, she is stridently a swordswoman. |
| 1784 | * GenkiGirl: She's one of the more energetic Erunes. |
| 1785 | * GoneSwimmingClothesStolen: The plot of her swimsuit fate, along with Societte. [[spoiler:It turns out they hid each other's clothing so they could spend more time together, hence why the Captain and Lyria's clothes hadn't been touched.]] |
| 1786 | * GoshDangItToHeck: Says "What the hay!?" in her Summer episode. |
| 1787 | * GratuitousJapanese: Just like Societte, some names of Yuel's skills and Charge Attacks are Japanese words that are kept even in the English localization such as Yugetsu, Gurren, Jinka, Rinen, Minazuki, Rinnen-aratame, Taika, Hanaarashi, Shiranui, Hien: Homuragaeshi and Zuigetsu. |
| 1788 | * HeterosexualLifePartners:with Societte. Though the "[[ShipTease heterosexual]]" part comes into question with some interactions. |
| 1789 | * ImpossiblyCoolClothes: |
| 1790 | ** To reiterate - her top is a bikini halter [[SexyBacklessOutfit with no apparent back]] and a large fur shawl attached that loops behind her head, a bikini bottom which gains some large tassels in her 5★ upgrade, and footless leggings with shin guards (which are the only armor she wears). Oh, and she has little cat bells on her ears. And she fights like a master swordswoman in this outfit. Her SR outfit is significantly more practical (it has a shirt! and pants!) but not nearly as fun. |
| 1791 | ** Her Water SSR manages to turn something similar to a ''SailorFuku'' into this. Forget the backless sailor shirt, what makes it impractical are the ribbons all over the place. |
| 1792 | * ItOnlyWorksOnce: Her Summer SSR has a passive skill, Fanning the Foxflames, that automatically ends the cooldown on all her skills and fills her charge bar the first time her HP drops below 50%. It can't be triggered twice in the same battle even if Yuel dies and is revived. |
| 1793 | * OnlyTheChosenMayWield: In "Forgiveness and Gratitude", only the chosen [[spoiler:Erune may wear the ceremonial robe, lest the unworthy wants to get burned in flames. Well, the robe actually covered her entire body with flames when she wore it, but Yuel managed to overpower it with her will and coming out unharmed, allowing the dress to accept her in Kou's stead.]] |
| 1794 | * ReallyRoyaltyReveal: [[spoiler:It's revealed that she's not actually a servant to Societte's bloodline, she's the rightful heir. Yuel herself is shocked to learn this. It's later revealed further that ''both'' she and Societte are heirs - there are in fact nine royal bloodlines related to Lady Ninetails. Yuel is a "third", a member of the third-highest-ranking family.]] |
| 1795 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red (like, ''[[GenkiGirl Fire Engine Red]]'') to Societte's Blue. |
| 1796 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: |
| 1797 | ** More notable than others because it is so in defiance of all logic or laws of physics. How in the world that top stays in place with no back straps is a mystery best left unanswered. |
| 1798 | ** Her SR version wears a comparatively (''comparatively'') more practical backless shirt. |
| 1799 | ** Her SSR Water version manages to pull this off with a sailor shirt. |
| 1800 | * SexySoakedShirt: In her Skybound art, SSR Water Yuel's shirt looks decidedly wet and translucent... [[MsFanservice and Yuel hardly seems to mind]]. |
| 1801 | * SignificantWardrobeShift: During "Forgiveness and Gratitude", she has to wear the ceremonial robe (her SSR water version's outfit) in order to harness its power of appeasing Ninpress in order to save Societte. |
| 1802 | * SpeakInUnison: In Yuel's Summer episode, Yuel and Societte speak the same lines simultaneously when they reveal that they hid each other's clothes. |
| 1803 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The feisty, playful Tomboy to Societte's Girly Girl. |

| 1818 | A young Erune girl who encountered the crew defending a woman from thugs, Yuisis was impressed by their sense of chivalry in spite of not being their turf. She decided to join the crew by breaking bread with the player as a sign of her trust and honesty. |
| 1819 | ---- |
| 1820 | * ADayIntheLimelight: "A Ballad of Unbending Chivalry" focuses on her, as well as being the event that gives her Wind version the material to be uncapped to 5★. |
| 1821 | * AwesomeButImpractical: Her combination of StanceSystem and a stacking system used to make doing her full potential quite difficult as it requires you to tank things to get Chivalry stacks then switch via charge attack to do massive damage, creating a real risk of being in the wrong mode at the wrong time. A later BalanceBuff shifted her stance change to her first skill, making her a lot easier to use. |
| 1822 | * BalanceBuff: |
| 1823 | ** Her Yukata version is this to her SSR version. While her summer version is an SR, she has no StanceSystem like her SSR counterpart and as her SR version has Starslayer mode combined to one kit, this made her summer version much more easier to use. |
| 1824 | ** Yuisis' original SSR version later received a rework based on becoming easier to use: while she kept her stances, the method to switch between them was shifted from her ougi to her first skill, making it easier to keep her in whatever stance you want her to be in. She also lost the self-paralyze on her Ardent Blade skill in Starslayer form, which her Yukata version kept. |
| 1825 | * BifurcatedWeapon: Her StanceSystem revolves around her Relic of Ditoria. The standard Heavensbane Mode is a classic sword-and-board set that grants her defensive skills; Starslayer Mode combines the short sword and shield into a single greatsword for overwhelming offense. |
| 1826 | * GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Her Fire version is notably the only few playable characters in the game to not have holiday or birthday lines. Why? Because that version is based on her ''attending a funeral'', and that might not be the best of times to wish her a merry Christmas or any other happy fun occasion. |
| 1827 | * HeroicWillpower: In ''Elegy for Auld Lang Syne'', where she manages to [[spoiler: hold on to her own senses despite being shot point blank by kleshas from the Joya]], which is notable because even [[spoiler:the captain couldn't shake it off without help from a Divine General]]. Lampshaded later on to coax her out of [[HonorBeforeReason committing seppuku]] for putting her friends in danger. |
| 1828 | * HonorBeforeReason: She decides to hide her true motives about joining you since she thought that you wouldn't agree to take her in otherwise. This was used by a group of hired goons who knew about her circumstances and riled her up into a trap. Later on, ''she even attempted to commit seppuku'' because she thought what she did was such an utter disrespect to your leadership to the point where everyone panicked and you have to (''very'') sternly stop her. |
| 1829 | * ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZbmjFzbKkE "Saika no Chigiri".]] |
| 1830 | * {{Revenge}}: Her primary motive for joining you is to find out who betrayed and eventually destroyed her family. |
| 1831 | * ShipTease: Her Yukata Fate Episodes drop a ''ton'' of this with the captain, namely; Feeding the captain and wiping their cheek with her handkerchief. Their face is later stated to be blushing red. When she finally scoops up a fish, she becomes happy for having a pet to take care with the captain. Her feet got swelled up after the fight, and the captain touches them to inspect. When she can no longer walk from the pain, the captain tries to carry her by the shoulders. She also leans on the captain while watching the fireworks. As if these implications aren't strong enough, her artwork would occasionally zoom in on Yuisis' face, as if to depict she's really close to the captain's point of view. And then there's her habit of calling the captain, Vyrn, and Lyria as her "family". |
| 1832 | * StanceSystem: Her gimmick. She can switch in and out of Starslayer/Heavensbane mode after using her first skill "No Surrender / No Regrets". Her base Starslayer mode has a StoneWall skillset that [[DrawAggro lures enemies to attack her]], making them open for her CounterAttack, while her Heavensbane mode is a LightningBruiser with a skill that gives her a massive boost to attack and damage cap at the [[CastFromHitPoints cost of HP]]. |
| 1833 | * WidowsWeeds: Her Fire version, where Yuisis wears a funeral attire. |
| 1834 | * {{Yakuza}}: Certainly has this vibe; she made references to protection rackets and declares her joining your crew by sharing bread, a reference to the ritual of exchanging sake cups to fortify bonds. She uses bread with your group since she figured that you are too young to drink. |
