Tropes associated with the Arcas:
- Animal Motifs: Because the Arca form is bound to resemble the Rakyan.
- Back from the Dead: Because one can only became an Arca if he or she is dying. However, Alya takes the cake because she's after all the Sacrificial Lion for Nala, and then reappears as an Arca.
- Magical Girl
- Power Dyes Your Hair: With Dita as an exception.
Nala The White Tiger, Arca of Bandung
Tropes associated with Nala:
- Animal Motifs: Actually tiger, but she looks like a catgirl instead...
- Determinator: Determined to protect everyone from Yaksa so no one would experience what happened to her anymore.
- Fake Memories: Nala is able to do this to people in her school so people would think that she existed, and that she can live the highschool life in place of Alya.
- Innocent Blue Eyes: In Arca form, despite that's her default personality.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: When she saw the Genderuwo, the Yaksa who killed her and Alya, she goes into this.
Dita The Spiral Horn, Arca of Garut
- Carry a Big Stick: Her weapon, and it shaped like a ram's horn.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Her Arca form doesn't have that much of black, but her color code is black and she is not evil. Just Tsundere.
- No Social Skills: She's been an Arca since birth and doesn't know how to mingle with other people. The other Arcas from other cities? She's not good with them either, thanks to her shy yet easily irritated personality.
- Precision F-Strike: The second you defeat her, she said "sial" note
Khaula The Golden Deer, Arca of Bogor
Tropes associated with Khaula:
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: If she was in human form she'd played this trope straight.
- Animal Motifs: Stag. And if you count her bat wings on her cloths, it would make her have two Animal Motifs. Her clothes literally called "Bat Cloth" in Sundanese.
- Badass Armfold: Her default pose in cutscenes.
- Badass Normal: Before became an Arca she was a soldier in Dutch Colonnial era.
- BFS: Her other weapon, the Golok.
- Broken Bird: In the middle of the war, her troop was nearly annihilated, leaving only herself and the man she loved gravely injured. She tried to ask for help from nearby villagers, but they lock their doors instead and she lost faith in humanity.
- Bow and Sword in Accord: Uses the sword more often but the stronger weapon is her bow. And her personality is more of an archer than swordswoman. Aloof? Check. Calm? Check. Prideful? Check. Prefers to do the job alone? Good lord, yes.
- Forest Ranger: Not self-appointed, but surely would be more than happy to be addressed as this.
- Good Is Not Nice: Even more so than Dita.
- Green Thumb
- Humans Are Bastards: For leaving herself and her beloved bleed to death, she thinks this way. Doesn't help that people nowadays forgot about their native cultures.
- Making a Splash: Bogor was known for having high chance of raining even in Indonesia's tropical climate, thus it would make sense if rain is associated with her too.
- No Social Skills: She secluded herself from humanity the second she became an Arca, and thus, keeps her speech in the classic Indonesian style from the Dutch Collonial era, making her speech very awkward. One of the reason she rarely speaks.
- Really 700 Years Old: She was born in 1903 and the game takes place in 2013, making her 110 years old.
Asri The Emerald Dragon, Arca of Sukabumi
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Lacks the height, but surely checks the boxes of dark-colored hair, graceful presence, have mysterious aura, and always collected.
- Animal Motifs: Dragon.
- Beware of the Nice Ones
- Color-Coded Characters: Green-gold.
- Emerald Power: One of the strongest and oldest Arca in Indonesia who dressed in green. Heck, the word emerald is on her title!
- Eyes Always Shut
- Handicapped Badass: Heavily implied. She is never seen walking on her own feet. As an Arca she always sat on Rawaja's head, in human form she stay on a wheelchair. And perhaps, that wheelchair is actually Rawaja, just like Celty's bike actually is a horse named Shooter.
- Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: Her dress in Arca form is based off Javanese noble/royalties, and boy that doesn't stop her from giving you a nice beating.
- Making a Splash: Nyi Roro Kidul, the mythological character Asri based off is the ruler of the Southern Sea so that's why it's no surprise she had control over water too.
- The High Queen: Rawaja refers to her as this. Helps that she is indeed based off The High Queen of Southern Sea herself.
- Older Than They Look: Her speech implies this. No one knows how long she have been an Arca. Legend even said that she was the first, one and only Arca of Sukabumi.
- Perpetual Smiler
- Powers Do the Fighting: Again, heavily implied. Couple this with the implication she is not able to walk and the fact she is one of the strongest Arca, you get the deal.
- Really 700 Years Old: Heavily implied. After Nala departed to the portal that connects Jakarta and Karang Hawu, Rawaja commented that she doesn't change a bit even after thousands of years.
- The Pollyanna: She have been an Arca for thousands of years, and maybe already gained her precognitive ability before became an Arca, meaning definitely she have seen many Bad Future possibilities... But she believes she is not The Omniscient, believes that what she saw is not the entirety of the future and there is still several other possibilities, believes that there is still chance to turn the tides no matter how small the odds is. As Rawaja puts it, may thousand of years passed, no matter how bad the future she saw and no matter how low the chance is, she is still the naive little princess who believed in miracles.
- Yaksa Puppet: Can control some Yaksa under her control. some we say, some.
