* NoNameGiven: Leanansidhe is just what her particular variety of creature is called, her actual name is unknown. The DM revealed out of game it was [[ElectraComplex Electra]].

* HornyDevils: She's essentially a succubus, luring (usually) men in with her charms and then drinking their blood and turning them into her thralls. She latches onto Rolen immediately for this reason.

* TheWorfEffect: During the fight with Morax, the demon makes a beeline for No and hits him with all four arms, nearly knocking him unconscious in a single round.

Rolen is a half-elf Barbarian who is “courting” (his words) The Raven Queen. He’s been accepted by her and is still trying to figure out just what his new role as her Hexblade means.

* MushroomSamba: He acquires some hallucinogenic mushrooms in The Suburra that he later decides to bring out just for fun and spends the next hour tripping balls.

* HeroicBSOD: She doesn't take being subjected to Sayyida's Dominate Person well at all. Humorously, she also goes into one after sampling one of Rolen's hallucinogenic mushrooms and suffers complete ego death for about an hour.

%% * SpoiledSweet: Her wealth is pretty obvious compared to the others, but she's also a genuinely sweet person.

* LazyBum: She was supposed to be Krampus' letter carrier, but they found her sleeping in the forest skipping work.

* PintsizedPowerhouse: Ireena is all of 5'2", but carries a greataxe almost as tall as she is.

* ComicbookFantasyCasting: He's pretty much a slightly older version of Creator/JeromeFlynn, specifically as [[Series/GameOfThrones Bronn]]. His letter to the rest of the Fellowship has him amazed at "The God of Tits and Wine" (Sharess) as a callback to this.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Her profile picture is based directly on a picture of {{Creator/Helen Mirren}}.

* BarBrawl: After the party visits him, he goes to his local bar and starts a massive brawl and requires three bouncers and a Banishment spell to finally stop him.

A legendary pirate along the Storm Coast, he captains The Black Wind, the pirate ship that attacked No's mercenary band.

He is actually [[spoiler:a kenku who was the pet of the real Benjamin Hornigold, who learned how to imitate his voice exactly. After the real Hornigold died in his sleep, the crew decided to pretend he was still alive using the bird's imitations. After an encounter with a Storm Elemental the bird gained Storm Sorcerer powers and started demanding to be taken seriously, and killed the crew members who didn't accept him.]]

* OhCrap: His reaction to seeing Bakirian go full Dragon, since he had already suspected something was up with the "Dragonborn" Wizard since he took a Blight spell without even flinching but he didn't expect ''that''. His outburst also allowed Rolen to pin point his location since he had gone invisible.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: She decides to bite Ireena, pissed off that her Charm completely failed to work on her, and gets a mouthful of liquid sunlight for her trouble that stops her from regenerating.

* NonhumanHumanoidHybrid: Her mother was a Fae, while her father was the vampire Ovid. This resulted in a unique combination that makes her a Fiend instead of either parents' creature type.

* NoodleIncident: The exact reason he owed Titania a favor, which he's embarrassed about. The DM revealed out of game a member of Titania's Court called Krampus' girlfriend, a Winter Fairy, a goat fucker and Krampus got so angry he had Titania turn the offender into a goat for AYearAndADay.

The other half of the demon summoning duo, Dahlia was a mid level acolyte who survived the raid on the original Society of the Lotus. She's restyled herself as the leader of the reborn cult.

* HumiliationConga: The entire fight with her is a long series of this. She falls flat on her face in a Sleet Storm, which reveals her pale complexion is makeup, spends an additional round on the ground, gets killed by a Magic Missile and then even after death her soul gets dragged off to the Infernal Plane.

* LoveGoddess

* BiTheWay: Was in a relationship with Kolero, a male Tiefling, but clearly has feelings for Salome.
