Sweetie Belle
Royal Paladins / Shadow Paladins
The protagonist of the fic.
- Beginner's Luck: Despite playing the game for only a few months, she has on 2 different occasions pulled 2 SP cards: King of Knights, Alfred and Blaster Dark (a card which Midnight claims took him almost 3 years to find, and only at normal rarity at that).
- Catchphrase: Seems to have adapted Spark's the Vanguard. Later on when she starts using PSY Qualia, she also adds Final Turn!.

- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: She gets the receiving end of this by Midnight during Regionals. Later on, she gives one to Dinky and Blade Blocker when using her Shadow Paladin deck.
- No Kill like Overkill: Does this to Dinky during their rematch using Phantom Blaster Dragon with 46000 power and 4 Criticals.
- The Corruption: She becomes addicted to PSY Qualia.
- The Power of Friendship: Her Royal Paladins are based on empowering and cooperating with one another. Notably seen in King of Knights, Alfred and the Blizzard Formation cards. Takes a darker turn when she obtains the Shadow Paladins through the use of The Dark Dictator.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Uses a Shadow Paladin deck whose playstyle focuses on this mindset, especially through the use of Phantom Blaster Dragon.
