Character Database

God


The creator of the universe Himself.


 * Ambiguous Disorder: God has a lot of traits like literal-mindedness, limited interpersonal skills, rambling about his special interest in Creation, stimming, and No Sense of Humor, and neurodivergent tendencies like depression, PTSD, and suicidal ideation, some of which he attributes to not having spent much time on Earth, even though none of the other Primordials have any of his problems. He seems to be fairly well-liked and to have had a good relationship with his fellow Primordials, so his quirkiness probably hasn't caused him any real problems. Ultimately, God is most likely just socially awkward, and it has nothing to do with him being a Primordial being.
 * Ambiguous Innocence: God appears to be innocent, aloof, and unaware of a lot of different things (especially regarding humanity, human life, or customs), but he is actually a very strong warrior and incredibly badass. He is definitely capable of being very ruthless when he wants to be.
 * Angelic Beauty: Has a 'dreamy' look about him.
 * Badass Adorable: God is rather quirky, socially awkward, and has poor social skills. All of these traits contribute to God's adorableness. But at the same time, he is very powerful and can kick major ass if you cross him.
 * Cannot Spit It Out:
 * Anything to do with human emotions or feelings. God just doesn't understand emotions and humanity whatsoever, and he has trouble expressing it. Understandable, considering that he is a Primordial being.
 * Also, whatever he feels for Gaia. It's clear that God definitely has an affection for Gaia but he seems to have some sort of difficulty expressing whatever he feels for her. It could be because he is himself and feelings aren't something that he is used to.
 * Character Tics: He licks his lips quite often. He also has a habit of tilting his head to the side when stumped or confused.
 * Creepy Blue Eyes: Has the pretty-but-scary variety. Would you just fricking blink, already?
 * Divine–Infernal Family: Lucifer used to be his favorite kid before he rebelled, though his parenting skills were always questionable.
 * Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Pissing off God (or trying to kill Him) is a very bad idea.
 * Eldritch Abomination: A benevolent version, but He's older than time itself and created the universe and the angels who are this trope themselves. His true form is a living mass of light, just like the Void's is a living mass of darkness.
 * A Form You Are Comfortable With: He maintains his human-like form throughout everything. Considering His true form seems to be a mass of living light, it's understandable.
 * Hates Being Alone: One of the reasons He created the universe. He, the Void and the Grim Reaper were the only beings in all of existence and they were too different to be good company, resulting in Him being lonely.
 * Icy Blue Eyes: God's eyes can become rather piercing when he is giving someone (mostly an enemy or an opponent) the Death Glare.
 * Literal-Minded: He's getting better at it, but he still fixates on the literal meanings of English slang. Though he's interacted with humans long enough by now that you wonder if he's also being sarcastic.
 * Messy Hair: Casually, God's hair tends to always be windswept and messy.
 * Mr. Fanservice: He is that rarest of cases where his type of fanservice involves something as innocent and nondescript as taking off his tie and showing his wrists, rather than stripping off his clothes.
 * No Social Skills: Is accustomed to either dealing with those who are used to his odd manner or with humans from a position of celestial authority. When he walks among humans in human guise, he can be comically awkward.
 * Not Distracted by the Sexy: God is more or less asexual, only noticing nudity and sexuality for as a curious novelty (usually accompanied by a puppy dog head tilt) or remarking upon the immoral nature of the situation (usually accompanied by a wide-eyed fearful expression).
 * Opposites Attract: With the Void. God is the Primordial of Creation and the Void is the Primordial of Chaos, and while God's interest is more ambiguous, the snarky Void is definitely attracted to his seeming innocence.
 * The Power of Creation: He created the universe and everything in it. Turns out to be His biggest advantage against the Void; the Void is nothingness and destruction, so he can't create while God can.
 * Puppy-Dog Eyes: Tends to make a wide-eyed and pleading expression with a matching head tilt, particularly when he's confused by something.
 * Quizzical Tilt: A sign of him trying to understand the weirdness of life on Earth.
 * Reality Warper: He's freaking God; he made reality.
 * Sugar-and-Ice Personality: He begins the story as very cold and aloof, switching between cuddly devotion to his creations and an uptight seriousness made even more uncomfortable by his complete lack of social skills. While he still remains formal and professional, as he spends more time around others and Character Development kicks in, he learns to become more openly expressive to others, too.
 * Time Abyss: He's older than the Earth itself, making Him billions of years old. Most likely older than the universe, since He created it in the first place. Death was the only being around God's age, and neither of them can remember who is older (according to Grim, anyway, who has been revealed to be bit unreliable on the subject). The Void is the only being confirmed to be as old as Him. According to Grim, the Void's even older, but both the Void and God contradict this, claiming to be of equal age.
 * Top God: In a story full of Physical Gods, He is THE GOD, Jehovah Himself.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Silver/white.

The Void


The Void is, well, the personification of the Void, and the Primordial of Chaos. Chaos refers to the void state preceding the creation of the universe or cosmos, or to the initial "gap" created by the original separation of heaven and earth.


 * Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: His relationship with God. Although the Void is the Primordial of Chaos and God is the Primordial of Creation and they are supposed to be enemies, it is very clear and obvious that the Void has a very deep affection or soft spot for God.
 * Card-Carrying Villain: "...I miss the simplicity. I was bad, you were good. Life was easier. Now it's all so messy. I'm kinda good, which sucks, and you're kinda bad, which is actually all manner of hot."
 * Destroyer Deity: He contrasts God's nature as the source of all creation by being the embodiment of destruction.
 * God of Evil: He's the true embodiment of chaos, evil, nihilism, and pretty much everything bad. Subverted though in that he turns out to be Not Evil, Just Misunderstood.
 * Opposites Attract: With God. The Void is the Primordial of Chaos and God is the Primordial of Creation.
 * The Power of the Void: Being the Anthropomorphic Personification of Nothingness, the Void has this power. Which means while the Void is extremely powerful, God can create while the Void can only destroy, meaning unlike God, the Void can't create anything to help him.
 * Primordial Chaos: Trope Namer.
 * Supernatural Gold Eyes: Has golden eyes which glow in the darkness.
 * Truly Single Parent: He birthed several children all on his own. Not that he had much of an option, seeing as there were no other beings to mate with him at the time.

The Grim Reaper
The oldest of the four horsemen and a being that embodies the force of death for all life, Death is the one and only "Grim" Reaper, and leads the other Reapers.


 * The Anti-God: He claims to be as old as God and is an antithesis of Him when it comes to creations, reaping instead of creating them. However, unlike other examples of this trope, he is neither evil, particularly destructive (aside from his reaping), and is, in fact, one of the more benign entities in the story and possesses a dislike of the natural order being thrown into chaos.
 * Badass Baritone: He speaks with a surly, matured tone as a sign of his increased age and experience with an appropriately deeper voice.
 * Badass in Charge: Grim is in charge of all of the Reapers.
 * Blue-and-Orange Morality: Seems to operate this way.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: Very, very grumpy and very, very scary, but generally a benevolent force.
 * Eldritch Abomination: For starters, he considers Satan as a naughty child who throws temper tantrum. There's also his claim about his extremely ancient age. Then there is his scythe, whose extent of power is, even today, still unknown.
 * The Grim Reaper: The original, oldest of all the Reapers, and their boss.
 * Hell-Bent for Leather: Prominently wears form-fitting black leather pants as part of his main outfit as an indication of his strong sense of fashion.
 * Humanoid Abomination: He presents himself in human form, but see Eldritch Abomination above.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Is very bitter and insulting. Nevertheless, he tries to do what is right from a human standpoint and not a Primordial's, no matter what he says otherwise.
 * Long-Haired Pretty Boy: His hair ends up growing longer and longer as the years go by, he's on the slim side, and he's quite popular with the ladies.
 * The Omniscient: Grim is functionally omniscient. Every time Ronich tries to tell him something, the bored-looking Grim Reaper notes that he's already aware. He does show surprise when Ronich mentions how fearful Sylvia is scared of him, and how she feels she is not good enough for her father.
 * Perpetual Frowner: His most noted characteristic.
 * Rapunzel Hair: He has let his hair grow past his waist.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: Grim is much more level-headed and temperate than his fellow Horsemen "brothers." He's arguably the most reasonable super-powered being in the story.
 * The Stoic: He's very nonchalant about everything, since everyone else is too far beneath him for him to care what they do.
 * Suspiciously Specific Denial: Grim doesn't care about humanity, Earth or helping Ronich. He's very specific about that, while giving Ronich advice on saving Earth and humanity.
 * Token Good Teammate: Grim is more benevolent than War, Famine and Pestilence/Conquest by a country mile.
 * Trauma Button: Seeing Gaia, or anyone who looks like her, a result of her death.
 * Tsundere: And how! Somehow he manages to pull this off towards a cat. Though he's naturally surly and acts exasperated by his reapers, he cares a lot about them and is very proud of their accomplishments, almost crying in happiness when Sylvia becomes a full certified reaper.
 * Unwanted Harem: Downplayed, because it's not the focus of the series and is mostly implied, but Grim appears to draw quite some attention, both platonic and romantic, from his friends and reapers regardless of gender, although he's not interested in a relationship (or at least not with them).
 * When He Smiles: Considering what a dour man he usually is, the rare moments when he's genuinely smiling in are all the more notable for it, as Sylvia herself comes to appreciate.
 * You Remind Me of X: For the worse, since Sylvia's resemblance to her mother, Gaia, makes him not want to look at her.

Gaia


Gaia is the personification of the Earth and one of the primordial deities. Gaia is the ancestral mother—sometimes parthenogenic—of all life.


 * Angelic Beauty: Gaia has a very innocent and ethereal look.
 * Anthropomorphic Personification: Of the Earth itself.
 * Apron Matron: She's the mother of all and will not take kindly to anyone messing with her kids.
 * Badass Pacifist: She is against the idea of violence and prefers to solve things peacefully. Yet, as stated by Erebus, you do not want to fight her. He's proven correct when she's first seen in battle.
 * Big Good: As she represents the Earth and all life on it; thus, protecting her is a priority.
 * The Dreaded: Even the Ascim gods opted out of directly messing with Gaia.
 * Elemental Embodiment: Of the Earth.
 * Genius Loci: She literally is the Earth, not merely the goddess thereof.
 * Green Thumb: Along with Dishing Out Dirt. Within her capacities, but by no means the only powers she has.
 * The Hedonist: She's implied to be one by her conversation with Erebus about why being a human trumps being a god. Considering who she's talking to, it could've just been her joking around or trying to get him to agree with her. She goes on to stress that what she really values about being human is all the emotions they get to feel, good and bad.
 * Humans Are Special: Gaia believes this to the extent that she genuinely considers her own kind inferior in comparison. She admires humans' capacity for emotions such as loyalty, forgiveness and love, as well as for funner things like chocolate cake and sex.
 * I Just Want to Be Normal: She prefers life as a normal human girl to that of the goddess of the earth, and wishes she didn't have to get her powers back.
 * Mood-Swinger: Befitting the embodiment of nature's volatility, she's prone to changing moods on a whim.
 * Mother Nature: Is the Mother earth of all the world's religions.
 * Mother of a Thousand Young: Just like her sister Nyx.
 * Parental Incest: Her male counterpart, Uranus, with whom she gave birth to many the titans, cyclops, and hecatoncheires, was actually her firstborn.
 * Physical God: About as powerful as her sister so she is this.
 * Seers: Aside from having prophecy skills herself (for example, foreseeing that Cronus would be overthrown by his own son), Gaia can provide others with prophetic visions through cracks on the earth's surface—this is thought to be how the famous Oracle at Delphi did it.
 * Shipper on Deck: After Hades fell in love with Persephone, Gaia made flowers bloom that lured the girl into Hades arms.
 * Tangled Family Tree: She has given birth to a lot of children over countless millions of years. She is the reason why many gods of various pantheons are actually related to each other.
 * Truly Single Parent: While most of her children were fathered by other gods, her very first child, Uranus, was hers alone.
 * Women Are Wiser: While she is powerful, violence isn't Gaia's ideal method. If at all possible, she will try to find a way to get what she wants with guile and maneuvering.
 * You Cannot Grasp the True Form: We've never actually seen her "true" form on paper. We only see what human (or godly) minds can understand.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: White, appearing silver in some lighting.
 * You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry: Oh very much so. Just imagining an angry Gaia is enough to make Erebus of all people shiver in fear. It's taken Up To Eleven when it's revealed if Gaia gets too angry, the earth will cease to exist; in other words, it'll explode, and everything on it will too.

Erebus


Erebus is a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness.


 * Above Good and Evil: He finds both concepts unimportant, as well as everything else.
 * All Love Is Unrequited: His feelings for Deyanira were never reciprocated by the latter. Subverted as it's implied that Deyanira may have shown some interest in him.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: Towards Deyanira in the past. He was in love with her, but couldn't tell her for two key reasons: He was married and had a daughter. and Deyanira was with Cain.
 * Doppelgänger Replacement Love Interest: Keres is this to him, being the splitting image of Deyanira, her mother, who Erebus used to be in love with.
 * Has Two Daddies: He was made by the Void, but given life by God.
 * I'm a Man; I Can't Help It: Subverted. While he was married to Sam, he was also in love with Deyanira.
 * The Starscream: By canon, Hell might be Lucifer's domain, but as far as Erebus' concerned, there's only one true King of Hell.
 * Strong Family Resemblance: Looks like the splitting image of God, just with a darker color palette.
 * You Are in Command Now: Following Lucifer's imprisonment in Keres' heart, Erebus gets promoted/promotes himself to the new King of Hell.

Nyx
Nyx is the personification of Night and the daughter of The Void. She's often portrayed as a figure of exceptional power and beauty. Even Zeus fears her.


 * All-Powerful Bystander: Nyx is content to let the other Gods handle the "governing the universe" thing even with the implication she could slaughter them all on her own and take over for herself if she felt like it.
 * Dark Is Evil / Dark Is Not Evil: Depending on the mood.
 * The Dreaded: Nearly all the deities, including Zeus, take great care not to get on her bad side—not least of which because she spawned other feared divinities.
 * Elemental Embodiment: Of the Night.
 * Humanoid Abomination: She is usually represented as a gorgeous female human, but has some eldritch vibes herself.
 * Mama Bear: Maybe, even Zeus doesn't dare to risk it.
 * The Sacred Darkness: As goddess of the night.
 * Shipper on Deck: Nyx blessed Hades and Persephone's union at their wedding.
 * Truly Single Parent: She conceived all of her offspring alone.

Michael
Michael is the eldest Archangel, making him the oldest angel in Creation and one of the most powerful beings in the universe. He is the older brother of Lucifer, Raphael, and Gabriel.


 * Age Lift: According to the Bible, Michael is younger than Lucifer.
 * Big Brother Instinct: Towards all of his brothers, but especially Lucifer. One of their conversations makes it clear that Lucifer was his favorite brother.
 * Freudian Excuse: It's implied Michael's personality is down to God being a far-from-perfect father and favoring Lucifer while Michael was expected to be the dutiful one.
 * Freudian Trio: Michael is the Superego to Lucifer's Ego and Gabriel's Id.
 * The Paragon: In the eyes of the angels in Heaven.
 * Parental Substitute: He claims that he raised Lucifer.
 * Proud Warrior Race Guy: As head of Heaven's armies (which makes up the majority of angels), he lives up to this.
 * The Reliable One: Of all the four Archangels, he is the one most loyal to his father; unfortunately, he takes this to the point of fanaticism.
 * Sibling Yin-Yang: With Lucifer. Michael is logical, calm, emotionless, level-headed, pragmatic, and stoic. Lucifer is much more aggressive, reckless, rebellious, hot-headed, argumentative, and opinionated. Lucifer suffers from the major sins of Pride, Envy, and Wrath.
 * Smug Super: Somewhat. Michael is certainly arrogant and thinks he's above humans, but he is also insecure and devout to the point of fanaticism.
 * The Stoic: It's quite easy for Michael to keep his emotions at bay.
 * Super Prototype: As the first and most powerful of God's creations, Michael is this to the Angels in general and the Archangels in particular.
 * Villainous Incest: With Lucifer (given that as they're both angels, they're also siblings).

Lucifer
The most pivotal angel in existence who changed the entire fate of Heaven, Lucifer, also known as "The Devil" and/or "Satan," is a fallen Archangel. He was God's favorite son and is known to be the most beautiful angel ever as well as Heaven's most beloved angel. He is the ruler of Hell and creator of demons, seen by them as a father figure.


 * Absolute Xenophobe: Even by angel standards, Lucifer is very much this. He despises humans for supplanting him as God's favorite creations and seeks to wipe them out. He also loathes his own creations, demons, for being created from the very humans he hates so much — even if he was the one who created them. Beyond a certain point even the other Angels stop mattering to him.
 * Affectionate Nickname: Erebus tends to call him "Luci". It may sound mocking, especially early on when the two are bitter enemies, but later, it's made clear that Erebus considers it a pet name.
 * Aggressive Categorism: Lucifer judges and hates all humans. He also hates his own creation, demons, which makes sense.
 * Angelic Beauty: Deyanira reminisces how strong and beautiful Lucifer was in Heaven. He's notably the only angel whose celestial form is described this way.
 * Antagonistic Offspring: Averted; despite his anger and resentment towards Him, Lucifer still loves God. Inverted with the majority of demons not believing that he intends to eliminate his own creations.
 * Ax-Crazy: When his blood is up, he becomes a bit too eager for everyone else's.
 * Beauty Is Bad: Lucifer is said to be the most beautiful and perfect angel that God ever created, but Lucifer is the Big Bad and plans to bring on the end of mankind.
 * Berserk Button:
 * Don't mention how the Devil is associated with goats. He has never done anything with them and has no idea how that came about.
 * Calling a woman a bitch in front of him WILL get you in trouble.
 * A horny woman screaming "Oh God" is a real turn-off for him.
 * Lucifer: Really? You have to bring him up?!
 * Never blame him for the wrongdoings of humanity. He doesn’t like it when you do.
 * Never ever tell him that he's just like Erebus.
 * Big Brother Instinct: Lucifer was implied to have had this towards Gabriel.
 * Big Brother Mentor: Implied to have been one to Gabriel, as he taught Gabriel all of his "tricks."
 * Big Brother Worship: Lucifer idolized his older brother Michael, and the two were very close. In fact, Michael mentions that he raised Lucifer.
 * Black Sheep: Lucifer says that he always felt he was "different" from the rest of his family. The rest of his family agree — that is, Gabriel, Michael and even God himself all agree that he was a total dick.
 * Camp Gay: Not as flamboyant as the trope is usually played, but Lucifer is very flirty and extroverted, in addition to being bisexual.
 * Cannot Spit It Out: Has a perpetual case of this. He simply cannot bring himself to say to Michael those three little words, even though he very much feels them.
 * Con Man: Lucifer is good at deceiving, manipulating, corrupting, and conning everyone.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Lucifer is very witty and sarcastic. He has some of the best and catchiest lines of the story.
 * Depraved Bisexual: He constantly jokes about wanting to have sex with Erebus, sleeps with Rewin Elnich, and has strong Incest Subtext with Michael.
 * The Devil Is a Loser: Lucifer is immensely powerful and terrifyingly dangerous, but as numerous characters point out, he is ultimately nothing but a bratty manchild throwing a temper tantrum because he isn't the favorite anymore.
 * Dimension Lord: Lucifer is the ruler of Hell. He also has many loyal demons who follow him and see him as a God and as their Father.
 * Divine–Infernal Family: Like all angels he considers God his father, and has major daddy issues.
 * Double Standard: Rape, Sci-Fi: He has sex with Rewin Elnich while she's under the impression that he loves her. Lucifer (being... well, Lucifer) doesn't give a damn.
 * The Dreaded: Even while sealed, his very existence struck fear into everyone.
 * Driven by Envy: His jealousy towards humans is what makes him want to destroy mankind so much.
 * Entitled Bastard: Lucifer was God's favorite son and Heaven's most beloved angel. When God created humans, Lucifer threw a temper tantrum and rebelled against God because God appeared to love humans more than him. Though this was mostly due to the influence of Erebus, who corrupted him into his rebellion.
 * Ethical Slut: Lucifer is extremely promiscuous, but his lovers always have a good time and part with him without any hard feelings.
 * Et Tu, Brute?: Lucifer felt betrayed by both his father, God, and his elder brother, Michael. He felt betrayed by God for loving humans more than him and felt betrayed by Michael because he wouldn't support him and stand by him against God when he needed him.
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite his plans, he still loves his brothers (Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael). He even loved God, his Father, more than anyone and anything.
 * Even the Guys Want Him: In his own words: "I'm so good at flipping men, they call me "The Skillet"."
 * Evil Overlord: Lucifer is the ultimate leader of Hell. That is, until he is imprisoned (proclaimed 'dead') and Erebus ends up becoming the King of Hell.
 * Evil Plan: Wipe out the human bastards. And the demon monsters, though they don't know that part.
 * Evil Virtues: Lucifer displays some, believe it or not.
 * Ambition: Lucifer's goals may be evil, but he has the drive to achieve them, despite how catastrophic they are.
 * Determination: Lucifer NEVER GIVES UP.
 * Diligence: Despite being locked in Keres' heart forever, Lucifer was still strongly at work. He still had many minions (demons) working for him in order to implement his plans. He was basically The Man Behind the Man pulling all of the strings.
 * Honesty: While he may settle for half-truths or Exact Words, Lucifer has always said that he never lies.
 * Love: Despite his evil plans, it is pretty clear that Lucifer loves his Father (God) and his Archangel brothers (Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel). Hell (no pun intended), it was Lucifer's love for God that caused him to rebel and turn evil in the first place (via Erebus' influence). Lucifer even states he loved God too much.
 * Patience: Lucifer is rather calm and patient. He devises a plan and lets it take its course, no matter how long it may take.
 * Valor: Lucifer will never go down without a fight.
 * Exact Words: Lucifer uses this trope to the point of obsession. Throughout his appearances, he never flat-out lies to anyone, and will usually respond honestly if asked a direct question. What he does specialize in, however, is answering questions from "a certain point of view" or answering specifically the exact question that was posed and nothing more.
 * Fallen Angel: Lucifer is the Trope Codifier.
 * Fallen Hero: Also the Trope Codifier.
 * Faux Affably Evil: He's always polite and soft spoken but it fails to hide his wrath, pride, and pettiness, and later on he embraces the Card-Carrying Villain within.
 * Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: In his mind, everything is humanity's fault.
 * The Gadfly: Lucifer enjoys annoying people, and he's really, really good at it.
 * A God Am I: Lucifer is worshipped as a god by the demons since he is, after all, technically their Creator.
 * God of Evil: His followers and creation (demons) view Lucifer this way. Lucifer is also viewed this way by mankind.
 * Hazy Feel Turn: Supposedly, Lucifer was originally a good angel and the most beloved angel in heaven, only to be corrupted with anger and jealousy by Erebus. However, God himself disputes this and says that even before Erebus corrupted him, Lucifer was already proud and selfish, and that Erebus at best only made him worse.
 * Hidden Depths: When Lucifer finally had his heart to heart talk with God, a great many things were revealed about the both of them. Turns out that some of what Lucifer said about his actions and the later consequences were God's fault when God basically admitted that he imprisoned Lucifer for what was ultimately the former's mistake when he could have rehabilitated Lucifer by giving him what he needed, what in fact Lucifer always really wanted, and what every parent should give their children: patience, understanding, and love.
 * Hot as Hell: Literally.
 * Hot-Blooded: Lucifer is aggressive, reckless, rebellious, hot-headed, argumentative, and opinionated. His inability to keep his Hair-Trigger Temper and Ax-Crazy tendencies under control are a big part of why his plans often fail.
 * Humans Are the Real Monsters: Tries to make this argument. But it falls flat because a majority of humans' heinousness is his fault.
 * I Gave My Word: Almost exact words from the one History calls the Prince of Lies. In-universe, he is 100% honest, 100% of the time.
 * Lucifer: My word is my bond.
 * Irrational Hatred: Towards humans and humanity.
 * It's All My Fault: The reason he hates it when mortals blame their sins on him? It's because he's secretly afraid that, in spite of his protests to the contrary, they're actually right.
 * Kill All Humans: His goal is to wipe out humanity.
 * Lack of Empathy: It's All About Me when you're Lucifer.
 * Like a God to Me: He is revered as a deity by the demons as he created them.
 * Love Makes You Evil: Lucifer claims that his love for God is what made him become the representation of evil that he is. Lucifer loved God more than anything, but God seemed to show more love for humanity than he did for Lucifer, so Lucifer got jealous and rebelled as a result. Because of Lucifer's jealousy towards God's love for humanity, Lucifer has made it his #1 goal to destroy humanity at any cost.
 * Manchild: While not of the psychopathic variety, Lucifer does act like a snarky immature preteen with no self-awareness or sense of propriety.
 * Meaningful Name: Lucifer means "light-bringer," "bringer of light," or "light-bearer." Which is kind of ironic considering that Lucifer is, you know, Satan aka the Prince of Darkness.
 * Mr. Vice Guy: He is vain, smug, has a hard time thinking of anything outside of his own personal problems, blames a lot of those problems on his dad, tends to enact vengeance without thinking it through half of the time, sleeps around a lot and likes to encourage these very same sins on other people under the idea that they are urges that shouldn't be repressed. He is the Devil, after all. As the story goes on, it slowly dawns on him that these various vices aren't as harmless as he thinks they are and learns to be better.
 * Names to Run Away from Really Fast: "Lucifer," "Satan," "the Devil," "the Morning Star." He practically started this trope before it was cool.
 * Narcissist: Lucifer's major reason for rebelling was because he was pissed that he wasn't God's favorite anymore.
 * Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: He claims he's doing what he does because he's proving Humans Are the Real Monsters and that God was wrong to favor them and not put them down, but he's really just a cosmic juvenile delinquent who hates the fact humans replaced him as his daddy's favorite.
 * Odd Name Out: All of Lucifer's brothers' names (Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael) are of Hebrew origin and end with "el," which means "god" in Hebrew. Lucifer's name, on the other hand, is of Latin origin.
 * Offing the Annoyance: What Lucifer plans on doing to humanity.
 * Offing the Offspring: He is the creator of demons, who look up to him as their beloved father, but he secretly despises them as the epitome of everything he hates in humans and plans to exterminate them all as soon as they have outlived their usefulness.
 * The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: At one point, Lucifer angrily states that "nobody dicks with Michael but me!"
 * The Paragon Always Rebels: Before rebelling against God and becoming a Fallen Angel, Lucifer was God's favorite son and Heaven's most beloved angel. However, he rebelled when he was replaced as the favorite by God's newest creation, humans.
 * Parental Favoritism: Lucifer was God's favorite child, something acknowledged by Gabriel AND Michael.
 * Physical God:
 * The demons revere Lucifer as a god because he created them.
 * Played with a little with Lucifer himself — he's one of the most powerful characters in the story, and recognizes the usefulness of such blind obedience, but still regards himself first and foremost as God's son.
 * Pride: Lucifer's major vice.
 * Pride Before a Fall: Try pride before THE Fall. Lucifer's own pride was instrumental in his downfall; he was too proud to serve humanity like God wanted, so God had Michael throw him out of Heaven into Hell.
 * Psychopathic Manchild: Lucifer's basically a child who's mad with Daddy (God) for having a new baby — except in this case, the "baby" is the entire human race, the "child" is an ancient, vicious, and dangerous Knight Templar who has the magical equivalent of nukes to back his hissy fit up, and his ideal solution is to ultimately Kill All Humans.
 * Rage Against the Heavens: Classic Lucifer.
 * Right for the Wrong Reasons: Lucifer loves to play the victim and has a serious case of Never My Fault. He claims that it was God's fault he is the way he is for letting Erebus corrupt him, which twisted his already dim view of humans into outright hatred and then sending him to hell to languish. Thing is that he isn't wrong but in his views about personal responsibility as he and others merely believe God was indirectly responsible, though Erebus possesses the largest culpability.
 * Satan is Good: Subverted. He sincerely wants you to think this, and in his first few appearances at times, you might even be tempted to believe him, but ultimately he's an egotistical monster and was once referred to by Death himself as a child having a cosmic temper tantrum.
 * Smug Smiler: He knows more than you and shows it with that grin.
 * Smug Super: He's one of the most powerful beings in all of existence, and his ego is as big as Jupiter.
 * The Sociopath: While introduced with having humanizing characteristics and redeeming traits, and being played as Tragic Villain, this is ultimately Lucifer's true nature. Lucifer has many characteristics of a classic sociopath including: Inability to empathize, manipulative and charismatic, monstrously high opinion of himself, throwing childish temper tantrums when things don't go his way, and absolute refusal to admit any wrong doing. Gabriel even says to him that he is incapable of feeling love and empathy and only cares about being feared, being worshipped, or both. This is subverted as he did truly love his father and siblings (preferably Michael), but the way he goes about it is... rather twisted, to say the least.
 * Softspoken Sadist: He's very calm and cool-headed, and behaves in a gentle and polite manner. That doesn't stop him from torturing and killing to get what he wants.
 * Spoiled Brat: Lucifer hates humans because God transferred his affection from him to humanity. Many characters consider Lucifer a child who is having a temper tantrum because he isn't God's favorite son anymore.
 * Talking in Your Dreams: Like all angels, Lucifer has the power to talk to people in dreams.
 * Tragic Villain: He's unquestionably a monster, but he does have elements of this.
 * While things obviously went horribly between them, it's strongly implied that if God had faced up to his responsibilities as a father and shown Lucifer a bit more patience and understanding instead of kicking him out of Heaven, things could have been very different.
 * Tranquil Fury: Usually when he becomes infuriated.
 * Villainous Incest: Of the Incest Yay Shipping variety, with Michael.
 * Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Inverted. He acts like this, and his excuse that he was cast out of Heaven simply for speaking his mind might have more than a grain of truth to it. However, it's clear as time goes on that he's very much an arrogant Psychopathic Manchild, and there are plenty of hints that he always regarded everything that was not angel as lower than dirt, and he's free to do whatever he wants to them.
 * Yandere: "I was punished for loving God too much" and "Because I loved Him" (the reason he was cast down by God, or so he claims...).

Hela Kvichsky
"I'm not a queen, or a monster. I'm the goddess of death. What were you the god of again?"

The ruthlessly ambitious and supremely powerful Goddess of Death.


 * Adaptational Attractiveness: Unlike Hel in the original myths, the other half of Hela's face does not look like a rotting corpse.
 * All of the Other Reindeer: She was mostly an outcast and generally not very well perceived among all the other gods and mortals alike.
 * Ambiguous Disorder: She displays symptoms of anxiety (her paranoia and tendency to expect the worst from people) and autism (her lack of social skills, the fact that she Hates Being Touched, and her tendency to say offensive things regardless of whether or not they're intentional).
 * Angsty Surviving Twin: She was hit pretty hard by the death of her twin sister.
 * Aura Vision: She usually keeps her eyes covered because it makes her see the aura of death on other people.
 * Brutal Honesty: Hela has no mercy. If she has something to say, she'll say it.
 * Dark Action Girl: Hela doesn't often rely on her physical prowess, but when she does she's a fierce opponent that is able to fight the Mighty Thor himself.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: Isn't a malevolent goddess per se, despite what people may think, and keeps her word when she gives it. Hel is referred to as a dark and shady place, but a peaceful one, a bit like Limbo. She herself doesn't torture the souls of the dead, she simply welcomes them and gives them a place to rest, only punishing the ones that committed a grave sin and sending them to the underworld.
 * Emotionless Girl: She rarely emotes and is very reserved.
 * Freakiness Shame: The second time she shows Balder her hair under her eyes, he remarks that her eyes are oddly beautiful, and that she should go without covering them with her hair more often. Her sister also thought the same.
 * Hates Being Touched: In addition to having problems with people in general, she doesn't like being touched by anyone.
 * Ice Queen: Stoic, dour and cold.
 * Inferiority Superiority Complex: Is constantly talking down to others, but also has a lot of self-esteem issues and people-issues.
 * I Work Alone: Dislikes interacting with the other Gods and avoids looking for trouble the way her father does. Indeed, she is perfectly satisfied with ruling over the souls of the guiltless non-combatants.
 * Magical Eye: Her eyes can see the "color of death" on dead people or people that are about to die.
 * Magic Knight: Hela is both a powerful sorceress who has vast mystical abilities and a badass fighter and highly proficient swordswoman.
 * Messy Hair: Her hair is noticeably unkempt.
 * Nerves of Steel: She's always the first one to keep her head no matter how grim the situation gets... so long as the lights are turned on.
 * No Social Skills: Tends to primitively reject others, accusing them of thinking the worst of her while assuming the worst about them.
 * Oracular Urchin: She knows about pretty much everything that's going on, yet she only gives very vague hints that don't really help to understand the situation.
 * Physical Goddess: Not only that, but she's the most powerful Goddess in her pantheon.
 * Power Floats: Hela can't fly but (like Loki) she can levitate and she seems to enjoy floating ominously above people, no doubt to appear even more intimidating.
 * Power Limiter: She covered her eyes with her hair because her eyes can see "things that should remain unseen," even if Hela doesn't want it to.
 * The Quiet One: She's a person of few words.
 * Rapunzel Hair: It goes past her knees!
 * The Stoic: Nothing much fazes her.
 * Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She comes off as emotionless, distant and somewhat creepy, but she has her moments of genuine kindness.
 * Touch of Death: As expected from a Death Goddess, she has this power. She can also fire deadly bolts of energy that can kill both Gods and humans alike, meaning she doesn't even have to actually touch you to kill you.
 * The Undead: Hela's subjects, minions and army are all undead, often shown as being zombie like humanoid creatures in varying states of decay.

Ares
The most prominent god of war.


 * Ax-Crazy: Being the god of slaughter, bloodshed, and violence.
 * Blood Knight: He represented the brutality of war.
 * The Brute: He's a war god and relies more on brute force than strategy.
 * Jerkass: Well, duh. He is the God of War and loves to slaughter. He is definitely not a nice guy.
 * Nightmare Fetishist: He's described as getting off (in excruciating detail) at the sight of mass blood-shed. Probably why he fell in love with Keres...
 * War God: One of the first and prime examples.
 * War Is Hell: Ares personifies war as bloodshed, violence and destruction.
 * Yandere: For Keres, one such example being where Ares got jealous at Keres requesting consorts from around the world.

Aphrodite
The goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality, who was also associated with looking after children.


 * All-Loving Hero: Aphrodite likes and cares about everybody, as befits a goddess of love.
 * All Women Are Lustful: What the Greek society believed.
 * Die for Our Ship: In-Universe. If you stand in the way of her OTPs and/or are the half of her NOTP she doesn't like, prepare to face her wrath.
 * Head-Turning Beauty: Being the goddess of love and beauty, this is a given.
 * Physical God: She is a goddess and takes part in several battles and confrontations with other gods.
 * Water Is Womanly: The goddess of love and beauty, she is heavily associated with the sea, having been born from the sea foam formed when Uranus's genitals were thrown into the ocean.

Uranus
Primordial sky-being, son and husband of Gaia, and father of the Gigantes, Cyclopes, Hecatonchires and Titans. A cruel and overbearing ruler who imprisoned his children in Tartarus because of their bizarre appearances. Gaia didn't like this, and had one of the Titans, Cronus, castrate, dismember, and overthrow Uranus. The drops of his blood from this became the avenging Furies, and his severed genitals mixed with the ocean's foam created Aphrodite. He spitefully predicted, however, that Cronus would also be destroyed by his own children. He is also Gaia's first child which she had by parthenogenesis, he is grouped with the Protogenoi because Gaia had so many children with him and he doesn't fit anywhere else.


 * Abusive Dad
 * Anthropomorphic Personification: Of the sky itself.
 * Asshole Victim: Although he is still alive after Cronus castrated him, he was sliced to so many pieces that he is effectively dead, unable to do anything.
 * Elemental Embodiment: Of the Sky.
 * Greater-Scope Villain: A lot of the problems the Titans and their children would have as people can probably be traced back to his wonderful parenting.
 * Groin Attack: On the receiving end of this, by his son Cronus.
 * Parental Incest: Most of his children were birthed by his mother, Gaia.
 * Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: His prediction to Cronus could be considered this since it was paranoia from this prediction that led Cronus to swallow his kids alive. Guess how happy they were about that.
 * Taking You with Me: Unwilling to go down without leaving his son paranoid about suffering the same fate...or giving the Titans their nickname.
 * Truly Single Parent: A purely accidental example—his severed testicles ended up producing Aphrodite, making him effectively her "father". This possibly applies to the Meliae, the Furies and the Giants too, but most accounts claim that they were born to his blood mixing with the Earth, which would make them Gaia's children as well.

Artemis Khryselakatos Iokheira
Goddess of young women, of virginity, childbirth (yes, both at the same time), Women's Mysteries, forests and hills, hunting, and, later, the moon (along with Selene). Essentially a liminal goddess who protected women throughout their lives.


 * Action Girl: A talented archer and warrior.
 * Affectionate Nickname: Is called “Fairy” by Apollon.
 * All Amazons Want Hercules: The only man she may have been interested in is the great hunter Orion. Unfortunately, Apollon disapproved of their relationship and tricked Artemis into killing him.
 * Amazon Brigade: Had a train of warrior nymphs assisting her in her hunts. They were sworn to virginity and severely punished if they broke their oath.
 * Animal Motifs: Heavily associated with deer.
 * Asexuality: Artemis stands as one of the three virgin Goddesses and has had no romantic encounter with neither man nor woman. The one possible exception was Orion.
 * Celibate Heroine: As the goddess of virginity, Artemis was famous for having a "no romance" rule among those who worshipped her.
 * Chariot Pulled by Cats: Artemis's chariot was pulled by a pair of her sacred deer.
 * Does Not Like Men: And that's putting it mildly. Pretty much the only guys she's pleasant to are Apollon, Orion, and her priest Hippolytus. No, she doesn't like men, but looking at her relationship with Orion, Apollon, Zeus, and others, she doesn't dislike them either.
 * Half Identical Twin: Her brother Apollon.
 * Implied Love Interest: Orion. Apollon tricks her into killing Orion because Artemis considered marrying him.
 * Improbable Aiming Skills: Was tricked into sniping Orion from an island while he was in the middle of the ocean.
 * Lunacy: She is associated with the moon.
 * Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Rough-and-tumble Masculine Girl to her brother's artsy Feminine Boy.
 * Virgin Power: Was one of the three virgin goddesses, along with Athena and Hestia.
 * Western Zodiac: Traditionally associated with Sagittarius, as the archer.

Apollon Agana Belea

 * Chariot Pulled by Cats: Apollo's sacred swans pulled his chariot.
 * Half Identical Twin: His sister Artemis.
 * Light 'em Up: Comes with being the god of the sun.
 * Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Artsy Feminine Boy to Artemis' rough-and-tumble Masculine Girl.
 * Meaningful Name: Apollon is a less popular spelling of Apollo, and Agana Belea makes reference to the Greek god's bow and arrow.
 * My Sister Is Off-Limits!: Apollo disapproved of Orion's relationship with Artemis, and tricked Artemis into killing him by daring her to shoot at a far-off object in the water, which turned out to be Orion swimming.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Actually referred to as Apollon, with an N at the end, in classical and homeric Greek sources. Later when the Romans adopted him into their pantheon they referred to him as Apollo, without the N. Due to the extensive use of the Roman God names in the Western World from the Renaissance on, and the similarities between his Romand and Greek names, the final N is almost always lost in the English Speaking world, even when discussing his Greek incarnation. Another modern varation that is less commonly used cuts even more letters from his name and shortens it to "Apoll".
 * Swan Boats: Sometimes depicted as riding a large swan or a chariot being pulled by swans.
 * Western Zodiac: Traditionally associated with Gemini as the sign of dualism and twins, being a sibling to Artemis.

Balder Hringhorni
The gentle but clumsy Norse God of Light.


 * Childhood Friend: To Loki and Thor.
 * Crazy Jealous Guy: Gets jealous of the other gods when they spend time with Hela.
 * Cute Clumsy Guy: Related to The Klutz below, he's a Rare Male Example of the usual trope.
 * Friend to All Living Things: Humans and animals are attracted to him due to his innate godly powers.
 * I Love You Because I Can't Control You: He's interested in Hela because she isn't magically drawn to him. She just treats him like a normal person.
 * The Klutz: Somehow manages to trip over nothing. Repeatedly.
 * Kryptonite Factor: Mistletoe.
 * Light 'em Up: He is a god of light.
 * Light Is Not Good: Though Balder is a very nice and gentle man, he is fated to lose control of his powers and to cause destruction.
 * Meaningful Name: Hringhorni is the name of his ship.
 * Nigh-Invulnerable: Can't be harmed by most things due to his mother's pact with all objects on Earth. However, he can be hurt by mistletoe. And himself.
 * Power Incontinence: His powers go wild when his emotions get out of control.
 * Pretty Boy: He's usually described as this.
 * So Beautiful, It's a Curse: People are drawn to him like flies to honey because of his power as a god of light. However, they don't truly love him, just the light that he represents.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Meat.
 * Yandere: Balder is beginning to show signs of this when it comes to Hela, being quite pushy and possessive of her. Development has him admit to pushing too far and backing off.

Susanoo-no-mikoto — Takeru Totsuka
Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the God of the Sea and Storms, and Tsukito's younger brother. Hot-headed and temperamental, Takeru eschews the company of the other gods and Ame. He's a skilled swordsman and very protective of his brother.


 * Alliterative Name: Like his brother, the letters of his first and last name begin with "T".
 * Because You Were Nice to Me: He worships his big brother Tsukito because he was the only one who stood by his side when everyone else turned their backs on him. See My Greatest Failure.
 * Big Brother Worship: He idolizes his big brother Tsukito and has the same kind of attitude towards Hades.
 * Cuteness Proximity: He's weak to cute animals and things, as shown by his fondness to Usamaro, Anubis' dog and Anubis' doll as well.
 * Declaration of Protection: He promises to protect Ame from any harm not only because she is a woman, but also because her father asked him to. Being a guy that admires strength and security, it's a major part of his relationship with her.
 * Defrosting Ice King: Came across as a Jerkass at first. But turns out he just has a...
 * Does Not Like Spam: He hates mushrooms.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: It's not hard to make him angry; most of his interactions with Ame involves him learning how to control his emotions.
 * Hidden Depths: Surprisingly, he is good at poetry, stemming from the mythological fact that Susanoo is said to be the first being to create poetry.
 * Hot-Blooded: About anything that interests him.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He comes across as rude in the beginning, but it's far from the truth. He just has some temper and trust issues, and very soon he turns out to be one of the sweetest guys in the story if you manage to gain his trust.
 * Meaningful Name: The root of his name, “Take”, is based Susanoo's full name, Takehaya-Susanoo-no-Mikoto. Like Tsukito, Totsuka comes from the from the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi, Susanoo's legendary sword.
 * My Greatest Failure: He accidentally killed a goddess while trying to save her from an unknown danger, presumed to be a falling accident like the one he saved Ame from. The other gods refused to listen to his explanations and turned their backs on him, considering him a murderer and an outcast. He never let go of this incident and it shaped his entire view of the world and his outcast tendencies.
 * The Nicknamer: Calls Ame 'weed'.
 * No Sense of Personal Space: Has a tendency of getting up in Ame's face.
 * Took a Level in Kindness: Whenever he feels close to someone, as part of his Character Development.
 * Tsundere: Type A with everyone except Tsukito, Hades, and Ame post-development.
 * Undying Loyalty: He finds it very hard to open up and trust people, but once he does he is loyal until the end.
 * Walking Shirtless Scene: In his deity form.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: He has dark bluish-green hair.

Ame-No-Mi-Kumari — Ame Kumari
Ame-No-Mi-Kumari is the goddess of water. She is the daughter of Minato-No-Kami, the god of rivers and estuaries. Prior to the beginning of the story, she had been hibernating for eight hundred years.


 * Action Girl: Ame learned swordsmanship at a young age and has kept practicing it since then.
 * Affectionate Nickname: Takeru calling her "Weed" started out as an insult but later becomes this.
 * Ancestral Weapon: She reveals that her pendant is this, as it was given to her by her mother.
 * Compelling Voice: Her glamour is so strong that with just her voice, she's able to bend everyone that lays eyes on her to her very whim.
 * Cuteness Proximity: Her stoic expression breaks whenever she sees something cute.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: She regularly practice swordplay, specifically Iaido.
 * Passionate Sports Girl: Has been doing Iaido since she was a child, and she loves it. One of her pastimes seems to be practicing Iaido as she was seen doing it in her first appearance.
 * Victory Is Boring: She was bored with life because she always had everything she wanted, to the point she decided to sleep (seemly forever) waiting for someone that she would not have so easily.

Iduna Arfonia
Iduna is the Goddess of rejuvenation.


 * Affectionate Nickname: Is called "Kitten" by Loki.
 * The Atoner: She feels immensely guilty for not telling anyone about her vision of the man Hela loved killing himself. Iduno isn't necessarily at fault for his death, but she didn't try to prevent it because of her obsession with and unhealthy dependency on Hela.
 * Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Hela.
 * Hidden Depths: Despite looking sensitive and fragile, her strength of will and ability to confront her own insecurities is actually quite remarkable.
 * Living Emotional Crutch: Iduna has relied on Hela for so long that she has become this for her. She needs Hela to do almost everything for her and becomes rather anxious if she is not around.
 * Moe Couplet: With Hela.
 * Murder by Inaction: She believes herself guilty of this, as she had a vision of a man's suicide and did not try to prevent it because she was jealous of the attention Hela gave him.
 * My Greatest Failure: See Murder by Inaction above.
 * Nice Girl: Very much so. This girl wouldn't even hurt a mosquito because it might have a family.
 * Selfless Wish: Her wish is to grant Hela's wish.
 * Yandere: A borderline, non-romantic example with Hela. Because of her unhealthy dependency on Hela and fear that Hela would leave her, she chose not to intervene when she had a vision of Hela's lover committing suicide. To be fair, it's implied that Iduna was very young at the time, she hates herself for doing this.

Loki Laevatein
God of Fire. Wild and energetic, he is a born prankster who always has a trick or two at hand. Dislikes following rules and being told what to do. He's a childhood friend of Balder and Thor, and values his friendship with them very deeply.


 * All the Other Reindeer: He was ostracized by the other gods because he possessed Jotun (giant) blood and his propensity for pranks. Only Balder and Thor took the effort to befriend him.
 * Because You Were Nice to Me: Balder was the only one who didn't take pains to avoid Loki as a child. As such, Loki is very attached to Balder.
 * Childhood Friend: To Balder and Thor.
 * Crazy Jealous Guy: Is rather possessive of Balder.
 * Fun Personified: Comes with being the resident prankster.
 * The Gadfly
 * Meaningful Name: His last name comes from Lævateinn, a sword that Loki used that is coated in flames. It is mentioned in the Poetic Edda poem Fjölsvinnsmál.
 * Playing with Fire: God of Fire.
 * The Prankster: The god of pranks, after all.
 * Short Hair with Tail: In the shape of a braid.

Cain
The Cain, the elder brother of Abel, and the firstborn son of Adam and Eve. He is an extremely powerful demon who even scares the hell out of Keres.


 * Berserk Button: Cain doesn't like when people speak ill of Deyanira. It's also implied he doesn't like when Deyanira talks, or even just barely interacts, with other guys.
 * Biblical Bad Guy: He's the actual Cain from Old Testament times, having murdered Abel and become a demon afterwards.
 * Crazy Jealous Guy: As a part of his Yandere personality, he refuses to share Deyanira with anyone and is intensely jealous of all her admirers.
 * The Lost Lenore: His wife Deyanira is this for him.
 * Rapunzel Hair: Has very long dark hair past his waist.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: Cain is an extreme example. He only has eyes for Deyanira. It doesn't matter how many other nice girls he meets, or what Deyanira's sex, sexuality, or gender actually is.
 * Superpower Lottery: Being a very old demon as well as a True Demon will give you a power boost.
 * Yandere: Zigzagged. On the one hand, Cain is one for Deyanira, having the unhealthy and violent obsession for her down pat, and is completely unfazed at the prospect of having to Murder the Hypotenuse so that no one will steal her away from him. On the other hand, Cain distinctly lacks the typical sweet, cutesy personality that often serves as a yandere's mask.

Deyanira
Deyanira worked in the secretarial pool of Heaven until God chose her as His Scribe. God had Deyanira create the Word, tablets with instructions on His creations. However, Deyanira was, at some point, turned into a demon by Lucifer.


 * Badass Bookworm: Deyanira really just wanted to sit around and read the stories, and is also extremely smart. That won't stop her from killing a couple of people she believed to have been harassing her daughter with her bare hands.
 * Badass Pacifist: Keres described Deyanira as this; she was genuinely against the idea of violence, and even made Lucifer and Erebus form a truce. Yet she was also incredibly strong and could kick major butt.
 * Bookworm: She really loves books, so much so that she had them delivered by the dozen and exchanged in enhanced life spans for regular stories.
 * The Chessmaster: Though she may not seem like it at first. She knows exactly what she's doing, and is secretly an amazing manipulator, even more so than EREBUS, a master of deception and manipulation.
 * Clueless Dude Magnet: Doesn't seem to realize the affection of many men around her. Eventually subverted once it's revealed she is very much aware of the way men view her, and uses it to her advantage whenever the opportunity arises.
 * Cute But Psycho: She's genuinely a sweet and kind woman who loved her daughter above all else, but she also possessed a dark side where she is fine with lying, manipulating and killing others, even her own siblings, if it furthered her objectives.
 * The Fake Cutie: Acts like a sweet, chirpy young woman even as she's drenched in blood and snapping old men's necks.
 * Incurable Cough of Death: It's revealed she dealt with illness, and she was often seen coughing during flashbacks. Subverted, since that's not what killed her- Cain did.
 * The Power of Creation: Deyanira is amazed by humanity's ability to create stories.
 * Deyanira: But really... really, it was your storytelling. That is the true flower of free will. At least as you've mastered it so far. When you create stories, you become gods of tiny, intricate dimensions unto themselves. So many worlds! I have read... as much as it's possible for an angel to read, and I haven't caught up.
 * Really Gets Around: Subverted. There's an implication she was with Metatron back in heaven before her corruption, Erebus was in love with her even while he was married, and she married Cain.
 * Screw Destiny: Unlike most angels, Deyanira does not appeal to fate and celebrates free will. Whether or not this is due to being turned into a demon by Lucifer is unknown.
 * Wrote the Book: Literally, thanks to writing down all the stuff in the tablets.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Silver/white hair.

Keres Almyra
Daughter of the former angel Deyanira and the demon Cain. She is a True Demon whose Min-Maxing combination of holy and demonic specializations make her a One-Woman Army. It is later discovered that Keres is the one true vessel of power for Lucifer.


 * Amnesiac's Are Innocent: Played with. She's not necessarily "innocent" but some of her traits and characteristics would define her with a child. Given her borderline amnesia, which seems to mostly be about her age, there really is a lot to be said about her reasons for behaving a bit childish. Still, mess with her and you'll find your head on a platter.
 * Badass Boast: In her "fight" with Erebus, she calls herself "cruel, cold and terrible, as well as quite a beautiful little monster."
 * Bad Boss: Played with. She'll give her minions a certain amount of slack if they fail at something they had no reasonable chance of succeeding at, but too many stupid moves and she'll kill them. Eventually turns into Benevolent Boss.
 * The Baroness: The Sexpot type. She's young-looking, attractive, and her personality fits the type to a T, with an emphasis on the dominatrix aspect and sadism. And that doesn't stop her from getting lovey-dovey around Erebus.
 * Beauty Is Bad: It's noted once that she's very beautiful. Too beautiful and in the wrong way, which is unnerving and an obvious sign of her true nature as a demon.
 * Berserk Button:
 * She really doesn't like it when people keep secrets from her, as Erebus finds out.
 * Mentioning her parents.
 * She shows the slight hint of genuine outrage when someone says her information was wrong. Considering how much work goes into her information gathering, it's pretty justified.


 * Best Her to Bed Her: She muses in the past that she scorned those who look for a knight in shining armor stronger than themselves rather than relying on their strength, but just look who she fell for.
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She is a beautiful lady bearing the title "Warm And Caring Devil Of Pure White". Oh, and her karma is -500 (Extremely Evil). Suffice to say, woe betide you if you encounter her and you're not Erebus or one of her allies.
 * Blade Catch: Even better. She blocks Erebus' sword with only three fingers and later deflects his attacks with her fingernails.
 * Christmas Cake: She believed she'd become this due to Lyra scaring off suitors.
 * Cute and Psycho: Erebus finds her cute. Just about everybody else in the world finds her psycho. This is not particularly surprising - when she is around Erebus, Keres does get a lot of absolutely adorable moments. Her enemies are not so lucky.
 * Cute Little Fangs: A given for a cute demon like her.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: Played with. Despite being a centuries old demon, she's actually fairly heroic, in contrast to her viscous sadistic personality in the past. She greatly values her companions and is repulsed by man eating monsters, more than she will admit.
 * Doppelgänger Replacement Love Interest: Is this to Erebus, who used to love her mother, Deyanira; Keres is a perfect copy of Deyanira.
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones:
 * As much as an evil demon she is, she truly loves Erebus with all her heart and would even kill herself if that would make him happy.
 * She expresses a totally different personality when around her family. On one occasion, she actually worries about her brother after he fell into a depression, even though she stated she hated him beforehand.
 * Evil Virtues: She makes sure to keep a good image in front of her children, is as honest as possible, honors her agreements, avoids falling victim to arrogance, and does a good job of cultivating genuine loyalty by showing her own.
 * Faking the Dead: As part of a training exercise, she decides to pretend she's dead to see how the castle runs without her. While a few idiots like Brain or Natalia believe it, for the most part everyone under her reacts with "Bullshit, there's no one strong enough to kill her."
 * Family of Choice: She says that her family are the only ones she'll take her gloves off in front of. Hence the popular interpretation of her decision to show her hands to Erebus being her way of accepting him as family (even if she had little choice at the time).
 * Femme Fatale: Keres is a beautiful, seductive woman who often uses her charms in order to get what she wants. And if she doesn't she's still dangerous enough to dispatch her victims without much trouble.
 * Fluffy Tamer: In her eyes, Lyra is the cutest thing in the world.
 * Friend to Bugs: She is very fascinated with bugs, and goes around collecting cicada husks.
 * The Gadfly: Some of her words imply that she likes messing with Erebus just to see his reactions, or showing off how good she is at predicting those reactions. A good example would be the implied marriage proposal, where after Erebus gets flustered, she smiles lightly and gloats with "Got you again." Based on a conversation they have, it could also be interpreted as her way of scaring him off getting any closer to her.
 * Girls Loves Chocolate: After Aserath introduces her to chocolate, this becomes her new favorite food, saying she's "never eaten anything so delicious in her life". Considering she's a couple of hundred years old (maybe even older), this is quite a big surprise.
 * Hellfire: As a powerful demon, she's able to conjure black flames at will.
 * Hellish Pupils: She has vertically slit pupils.
 * Inbred and Evil: Keres' mother, Deyanira, is the aunt of Keres' father, Cain.
 * Interspecies Romance: Various times has been with someone who wasn't a demon. Mostly applies with Erebus, as she's actually in love with him; Erebus is a God, and Keres is a demon, yet they absolutely love each other.
 * Irony: Despite her seductive nature and exclusive sex appeal, she's still a virgin.
 * Lady of War: A classy lady who can tear enemies apart with her bare hands and look dignified doing it.
 * Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Keno Almyra. "Warm And Caring Devil Of Pure White" also counts.
 * One-Woman Army: Upon hearing of her weaker abilities a group of high ranked demon hunters estimate that an army of ten thousand men would be needed to match her. She was only using low level magic at the time. And even when the Mage Council tried to battle her, they could not even get a hit in; even with a protection spell place by the Archmage, she still tore half of Ronich's face off, and left a huge scar that took a full year to heal. They only survived by briefly throwing her to the ground using a giant angelic/godly weapon (though would later find out that it did absolutely nothing to her). To put the icing on the cake, she beat them without even using magic. She could've even gotten up and killed them, but, for some reason, didn't; according to her, they were 'too weak' for her to kill.
 * Poisonous Person: To insects at least, thanks to her spell Vermin Bane, which she developed herself.
 * Really 700 Years Old: She is much older than she looks.
 * Red Baron: "Warm And Caring Devil Of Pure White"
 * Strong Family Resemblance: She looks nearly identical to her mother, Deyanira. She also possesses her father, Cain's, eyes.
 * Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She mostly acts cold and collected, but while with Erebus she becomes much more emotional and warmer, even displaying a very cute and adorable side of hers.
 * Villainous Incest: Erebus, her lover, is both her maternal uncle and paternal great-uncle. The same thing applies to Lucifer.
 * White Hair, Black Heart: A cruel, evil white-haired demon. Eventually subverted.
 * Why Won't You Die?: Boy oh boy... She has a Regeneration spell, can reverse time to undo the damage done by a powerful attack, and her bite has a Life Drain effect. Not to mention she was cursed so that she couldn't die no matter how hard she tries. Even while getting stabbed with a holy dagger, the wound completely disappeared after a couple seconds. Getting her thrown to the ground by a high ranked mage who used a giant angelic, or godly, weapon didn't seem to damage her in the slightest.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Silver hair.
 * You Have Failed Me: Played with. When one of her minions walks into a bear trap, she lets it slide because neither she nor the minion have the ability to detect traps. The minion walks into a pitfall, which annoys her more, especially since Keres didn't see it coming either. She makes it clear that any more stupid blunders will be punished with death, however. Eventually subverted.

Brunhilde



 * Affectionate Nickname: Hilde.
 * Dissonant Serenity: She acts completely casual about eating human limbs.
 * Eldritch Abomination: Her true form is, uh... interesting, to say the least.
 * Emotionless Girl: Downplayed. She's hardly shown to express her emotions, despite still having a full (hard to notice) range of them. For instance, she has demonstrated pride over being one of Keres' subordinates, anger over Brain's fear Keres could actually be dead, protectiveness of her equipment, disgust when covered in meat, friendliness with Brain as a "junior" Keres worshiper, sadness that Brain doesn't want one of her stickers, and so on. Albeit in a very monotone, single facial expression kind of way.
 * The Foodie: Oh very much so. She's often seen eating, and even asked Elidur if romance was something to eat.
 * Hypocrite: Says she hates cannibalism and is disgusted by the actions of the humans who engage in it. Yet she herself eats humans (albeit already deceased ones) without flinching...
 * I'm A Humanitarian: Her first appearance is literally her having lunch. Said lunch being a bag filled with human hearts, some even baked into cupcakes.
 * Meaningful Name: Brunhilde means 'ready for battle', but it can also mean 'dark or noble'. Fittingly, Brunhilde wears a dark dress and has a generally dark color scheme.
 * Multicolored Hair: Sometimes looks red mixed with grey, depending on the lighting.
 * Obliviously Beautiful: Brunhilde doesn't seem to realize just how cute she looks. Heck, even Elidur called her true form hideous, but with a hidden beauty to it, something he can't quite describe. Brunhilde didn't seem to understand as she always thought that form was hideous and disgusting to look at.
 * Older Than They Look: Is actually 76 years old despite looking 15 at most.
 * The Quiet One: She doesn't talk much.
 * Red Baron: "Bloody Maiden"
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Elidur's red.
 * Ship Tease: With Elidur.
 * After Brunhilde complimented him (to return the compliment he gave her), her cuteness may have made him pat her head. Or her innocence. Or both.
 * Token Mini-Moe: Fulfills this role for Keres' children, being one of the smallest and youngest-looking of them, but while she acts the part she is really anything but.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Said she prefers child hearts over older people's hearts.
 * Trademark Hated Food: Said she hates the hearts of old men in particular.
 * Undying Loyalty: To Keres.
 * Used To Be A Sweet Kid: As a human, she was generally more expressive and happy. Nowadays, while still possessing emotions, she doesn't express them as well as she used to.
 * What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: She asks Elidur if romance is something to eat. Also, Brunhilde doesn't really know the meaning of a kiss.
 * When She Smiles: Flashbacks where we see her smiling are absolutely adorable to look at. That one moment when she genuinely smiles at Elidur... Cue Squeeing.
 * You Are What You Hate: The reason she hates cannibalism is because she herself, when she was human, ate the heart (and implied organs) of her childhood crush. It's not just that simply hates it because she did it, but rather because she enjoyed it. Nowadays, as a demon, she's seen eating human body parts and organs without so much as a flinch. Yet she detests man eating monsters.

Brain

 * All According to Plan: When it looks like he's losing, he's actually still winning.
 * For Science!: Very inquisitive. Loves to apply his own version of The Scientific Method on everything.
 * For the Evulz: While some of his "experiments" on the "livestock" are actually done for practical purposes, a lot of the horrible things he does to them, up to and including forcing parents to give up their own children to be eaten by the other "livestock", are done for no other reason than because he thinks it's fun.
 * Hellhole Prison: He's been keeping "livestock" in this sort of environment, and loves to implement ways of making it even more hellish.
 * Hope Crusher: Brain openly admits that allowing captives to escape, just a little bit in order to give them a sense of hope and freedom, only to take it away by showing that his victims never had any hope of salvation would be most enjoyable.
 * Mad Artist: Living subjects in suffering, torn body parts, and screaming souls are his favorite mediums.
 * Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: A villainous example, with his perception of "what's right" being "ensuring the safety of Keres at all costs". Unlike most of the others, who will unwaveringly obey Keres no matter what, Brain may disobey his master's orders if he feels that Keres is putting herself into unnecessary danger. He says that he doesn't even care if Keres punishes or even kills him for his disobedience, as the safety of Keres must come above his own.

Ingrid

 * All-Loving Hero: She tries, at least.
 * All Monks Know Kung-Fu: Her style of fighting, with no other explanation. At least it makes sense since her magic is all about improving her physical abilities.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: She has a very nice personality, but pissing her off with result in a fake smile.
 * Multicolored Hair: Brown hair with a purple gradient from the top.

Genevieve

 * Badass Adorable: Introverted, cute, short, and a powerful and strong willed ice demon. She's also a knight.
 * Badass Bookworm: Most often, she can be found reading.
 * Cool Loser: Never tried to be socially accepted, yet still manages to be cool in her own way.
 * Cute Bookworm: Genevieve is a rather cute and quiet girl who is usually seen reading.
 * Elemental Hair Colors: Blue haired character that routinely uses ice magic.
 * Icy Blue Eyes: They fit her calm and collected personality. She can use ice magic to boot.
 * Magic Knight: She's a knight and so she can handle herself in magicless close combat.
 * Personality Powers: She has ice powers and definitely has the cold personality that comes with it.
 * The Quiet One: She rarely talks, even to her girlfriend.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Ingrid's red; quiet, cautious, etc.
 * Shy Blue-Haired Girl: Both check out but rather than a Shrinking Violet, she's just quiet and not interested in socializing.
 * The Stoic: Even in battle she rarely shows emotion.
 * Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Despite her quietness and chilly appearance, she's a nice girl.
 * Terse Talker: "Me."

Veronika

 * Lady of Black Magic: A powerful mage with potent spells unique to her. She is a lot darker and more adult-like in personality compared to the others.
 * Vanity Is Feminine: Veronika is shown to be often concerned with appearances, having a dislike for getting dirty while fighting or becoming too muscular. She comments that women who are beautiful should be proud of their appearances.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Hers is purple.

Mara Aurora Anluan

 * Anti-Hero: She's one of the good guys, yet she takes so much pleasure in violence that even she can get scared of herself.
 * Attempted Rape: As part of her backstory.
 * Ax-Crazy: Mara isn't "all there" as she just enjoys the feeling of beating the ever-living shit out of someone a bit TOO much.
 * Lady of War: Mara's skill with a sword is matched by her grace and composure in battle. At one point she throws her sheathe into the air, sprints forward and cuts down an enemy, then gracefully catches it before it has a chance to hit the ground.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Lenore's Girly Girl.

Kurōdo

 * Absolute Cleavage: A rare male example.
 * Long-Haired Pretty Boy: A dark blue side-ponytail with Peek-a-Bangs.
 * Mark of the Beast/Mark of Shame: His tattoos.
 * Peek-a-Bangs: His right eye is always covered by his hair. He styled it that way to hide the tattoo etched on that side of his face.
 * Sarashi: He wears no shirt beneath his kimono save for bandages wrapped around his waist.
 * Scars Are Forever: Kurōdo has several scars all over his back and torso, along with his face and hands.
 * You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry!: It's not really hard to anger Kurōdo; but if he gets too pissed, his tattoos will take over his mind and turn him into a mindless and monstrous berserker.

Abagor

 * Blood Knight: In the truest sense of the word.
 * Horned Humanoid: They are black, just like his hair.
 * I Am Not Left-Handed: Mara implies that what we're seeing is not even half of what he's capable of.
 * Pointy Ears: Another trait that he has in common with other demons.

Sylvia



 * Action Girl: Very, very much so. Sylvia is stated to be as deadly as one hundred soldiers by herself.
 * Aloof White-Haired Girl: She's beautiful, stoic, aloof, and stands out as the only main female character with silver hair.
 * Badass Boast: Several.
 * "I am strong. Stronger than any of you."
 * Gives a chilling one during a standoff with a bunch of soldiers when they threaten to execute Akron.
 * Sylvia: My specialty... involves flesh... and the lacerating thereof. You just draw close enough, and I'll be happy to demonstrate. Should anyone wish to experience my technique... by all means, feel free to come this way.


 * Beauty = Goodness: Described as beautiful by other characters, and firmly on the heroic side.
 * Break the Cutie:
 * When she was younger, she seemed to be an average nine-year-old instead of the stoic badass we know today. Then, her mother was killed in front of her and she was kidnapped. But that was not what broke her; after Akron killed two of the kidnappers, the third just came into the room and almost killed Akron. As Akron almost died, she finally broke, realizing how messed up the world was.


 * Broken Bird: Once upon a time she was just a normal little girl. Nowadays, she rarely ever smiles.
 * Catchphrase:
 * "This world is a cruel place".
 * With the occasional addition of "But it is also beautiful."


 * Charles Atlas Superpower: Has shown WAY more strength than any normal person of her age or size should possess. It's strongly implied that her childhood trauma somehow shattered her natural mental limiters.
 * Cynicism Catalyst: Her mother's death has made her The Stoic Emotionless Girl she is today.
 * Damsel out of Distress: After her mother is murdered she got kidnap by her murderers forcing Akron to come and save her, then they attempt to kill Akron and through his encouragement she was able to violently kill her kidnappers, and escape with him.
 * Dare to Be Badass: What made her the hardened badass she is today.
 * Sylvia: If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win!


 * Fatal Flaw: Despite being a perfect reaper, Sylvia is still susceptible to her poor control over her temper, which has resulted in reckless behavior that has gotten herself and others hurt. She has improved on this shortcoming, but never truly overcomes it.
 * Fire-Forged Friends: Her bond with Akron originates from how, as a child, she was kidnapped by her mother's murderers and Akron was the first one to track them down. If it weren't for him, she may not be alive.
 * Only One Name: Any other names she might have are unknown.
 * Red Baron: "The White Reaper".
 * Strong Family Resemblance: She just looks like a younger version of her mother, Gaia.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Silver.

Azula



 * Ambiguously Evil: Azula's morality seems to be in the morally grey area. Despite supposedly being a well-working reaper, she acts incredibly sinister, manipulative and heartless, with the strong implication there's much more to her than meets the eye. Similarly, she set up the massacre of Arklala by the Anluan, Cedar and Kale's deaths (who she purposefully set up as Mara's older brother and little sister figures), and mentally breaks Mara completely by revealing the Awful Truth that she murdered her abusive father in self-defense as a child. All so she can get her hands on Lenore... who she plans to use to end things like war, hunger and death.
 * Animal Motif: A wolf, as she believes in Asskicking Equals Authority and The Nose Knows.
 * Beauty Is Bad: Azula may be physically beautiful but she can be very manipulative and immoral.
 * Brutal Honesty: Azula will never hesitate to tell anybody exactly what she thinks, even if it's hurtful.
 * The Chessmaster: Azula is cunning, strategic and manipulative. She always has an agenda.
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: Oh so much towards Vici. In fact, Azula is more of a Yandere for her as she has spent over a millennia being obsessively in love with Vici to the point that she stalked Vici and has both attempted to kill or killed people that Vici loves and cares about, including Erebus. She visibly shows that she is very jealous of Erebus because Vici was in love with him and always chose him over Azula.
 * Consummate Liar: Azula is very good at lying and manipulating others in order to get what she wants.
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: She is selfish, cold, manipulative and vain. She is described to be cold-hearted and will use people in order to get her way without feeling any guilt afterwards. Around Vici, Raen or Soli, Azula's humanity seems to come through.
 * Dissonant Serenity: Azula always appears calm and dignified, speaking in a soft tone whether she's slaughtering enemies or making shady deals. Nothing seems to phase her.
 * The Dreaded: People are terrified of her, and for good reason. And there are multiple groups who desperately want her dead. Because as the Blood Reaper, humanity has long been terrified of what she represents.
 * Emotionless Girl: Azula never reacts to anything around her and is usually content with having a polite attitude. The only exception is a movie that manages to make her cry, although it's unsure if she's sincere. She finally drops it when she bursts into laughter upon murdering Admiral, in one of the most disturbing moments in the entire story.
 * Evil Cannot Comprehend Good:
 * It becomes increasingly obvious that Azula doesn't understand or anticipate how much Lenore would genuinely love Mara, viewing their relationship as purely contractual and something to break just so she can achieve her own goals.


 * Horrifying the Horror: Even powerful reapers are terrified of Azula, without her needing to say or do anything.
 * If I Can't Have You...: A bad-ending scene showed Azula with Vici's bloody, disembodied head, implying that, should she have been rejected, she would've killed Vici to 'keep her for herself'. Considering this scene was in Vici's head, its unknown how much of it is true.
 * Nigh-Invulnerability: Of the regeneration variety, being shown as shrugging off getting shot in the head multiple times.
 * The Nose Knows: In one of her appearances, Azula mentions that Sylvia has two smells; one of a human and one of a reaper. It is later revealed she doesn't recognize people by faces, but by their smell, and she doesn't bother remembering the smell of people she doesn't care about.
 * Nothing Is Scarier: Azula is a mystery wrapped in many questions, and utterly terrifying because of this.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: She only ever displays any sort of adoration towards one person: Her younger twin, Vici. Sure, she loves her family, but she even mentions to Vici how she is her 'favorite sibling'.
 * The Sociopath: Lying, murdering, and manipulating are as natural as breathing to her. Subverted in that she does care about some people.
 * Stepford Smiler: Her smile in public hides her disdain for the "dirty" world around her and her own unstable nature. Around Vici, however, her smile is always the real deal.
 * Sugary Malice: Azula is very good at appearing sweet and polite to others when she needs them to further her agenda.
 * Supernatural Gold Eyes: Azula is an incredibly powerful, Ambiguously Human woman with strange, golden eyes.
 * Yandere: In regards to Vici. Azula was very obsessed with Vici for millennia, so much so that Azula spent most of their childhood stalking Vici, killing people that are close to her, and obsessively going to extreme lengths to be with her, save her or protect her. She has repeatedly gone the route of Murder the Hypotenuse by killing or trying to kill men that were romantically involved or interested in Vici. And in the regular sick sense, Azula can't even lie about loving another person without wanting to vomit.

Vici



 * All Love is Unrequited: Her feelings for Erebus were never returned.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Despite her friendly demeanor most of the time, she can and will demonstrate why she is a reaper when incredibly focused/tilted.
 * Boyish Short Hair: Has short, pink hair.
 * Cool Big Sis: Gives off this vibe to Raen and Soli.
 * Curtains Match the Window: Pink hair and eyes.
 * Kiss of Death: Her lips are poisonous, meaning anybody that kisses her will die, with few known exceptions.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Erebus and Azula's blue.
 * Spikes of Villainy: Her collar has a row of spikes lined alongside it as part of her reaper aesthetic.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Hers is pink.

Raen

 * Babies Ever After: She marries Mavi and adopts six orphaned children.
 * Hime Cut: Although if you look closely her bangs seem to be slightly asymmetrical, so she can get that pinned-back bit.
 * Interspecies Romance: With Mavi. Mavi is a half-elf and Raen is a necro-reaper, but it's clear they both deeply love each other.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Though she likes to provoke and bully others, she's also willing to cheer up Sylvia and remind her of her worth as a person and a friend.
 * Nice Hat: She wears a small black bennet.
 * Opposites Attract: Mavi is a kind and sweet half-elf, while Raen is an arrogant and rude reaper. Doesn't make them love each other any less.
 * Poke the Poodle: Even though she's mean to most people, she's actually nice to Sylvia. She only teases her in harmless ways like patting her on the head or embarrassing her with compliments. But Raen's narration claims that this is totally part of her usual sadistic behavior.
 * Proper Tights with a Skirt: As fitting for a rich lady, she wears black tights with her dress.
 * Ship Tease: With her wife, Mavi, of course, including the famous scene of them sharing a bucket of ice cream. Yet she also gets some with her brother, Soli, too and sometimes with Maria.
 * They Do: Married Mavi and adopted six children with her.
 * Troll: Raen's dickery isn't motivated by greed, or power, but rather because she's an absolute sucker for schadenfreude and loves making people angry, uncomfortable, and/or miserable.
 * Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: When she was about eight, she was already a bit of a sadist, knew that you could kill someone by dangling them upside down long enough, understood concepts such as virginity, and wanted to tutor Soli so people would wonder about the implications of her being so close with her blood-related brother. You can kind of see visually that she's trying to fill the role of a grown adult at the age of eight — she has a special tall chair to put herself on an adult's eye level despite being practically pocket-sized. At fifteen, she occasionally drinks alcohol and can even handle "ten times" (supposedly) as much as it takes to make Azula (more than twice her age) pretty much horizontal.
 * Tsundere: To Mavi, before getting together with her, at least.
 * Tsurime Eyes: Her sharp eyes match perfectly her dominant and sadistic personality.

Soli

 * Big Sister Worship: When he was little, Soli absolutely idolized his older sister, Raen. Due to the promise that Raen broke, Soli started acting mean towards her, believing she didn't care about him anymore. However, he still loved and idolized her, and continued even after he learned the truth and they made up. He considers her a perfect woman.
 * Good Is Not Nice: Definitely one of the rudest reapers and makes no effort at being courteous, but does what he's assigned without question.
 * Hot-Headed: He gets very angry very quickly.
 * Ship Tease: Gets plenty with his sister, Raen, yet also ended up getting some with Veronika as well.

Elidur

 * Cool Shades: Elidur sports a pair of round spectacles.
 * Logical Weakness: Implied. While he can control metal via his magnetism powers he seems to be unable to block or control bullets, likely due to them being made out of lead, a non-magnetic metal.
 * Meaningful Name: Elidur literally means 'steel.'
 * Nice Hat: Wears a wide-brim leather hat.
 * Not So Different: With Brunhilde. Both have the power to manipulate blood somehow (Elidur by manipulating the metals in the blood, and Brunhilde using her Blood Demon powers), both have a deep hatred for blood cultists (Elidur due to growing up in a blood cult and getting experimented on by them, and Brunhilde simply because she detests cannibalism), both are/were mortal but are still very much alive (Elidur forcing his heart to keep beating, and Brunhilde being turned into a blood demon by Keres), both are much older than they look, both were constantly tortured in one way or another (Elidur by getting experimented on by the blood cultists, and Brunhilde by getting physically and verbally abused by the children in the orphanage), both were genuinly good children until certain events changed them (Elidur being experimented by blood cultists, and Brunhilde finding out that she had no true friends, and then eating the heart, and implied organs, of the person she used to like), etc.
 * Odd Friendship: With Brunhilde, of all people!
 * Older Than They Look: He looks like an old man with gray hair, but there is an implication he is MUCH older than that.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red oni to Brunhilde's blue oni.
 * Summon to Hand: Can do this using magnetism manipulation with his war hammer.

Mortimer

 * Berserk Button: Don't call him short, or imply he's small.
 * Big Brother Instinct: Towards Sylvia. His reaction to finding out Raen bullied Sylvia in the past was by threatening her with a big mushroom.
 * Height Angst: Hates the fact he's short. In fact, one reason he wants to learn transfiguration and alchemy is because he wants to get taller.
 * In-Series Nickname: Mor.
 * Meaningful Name: The name Mor comes from a fantasy novel called Mort. In Russian, both the novel's and main character's name is translated as "Mop" (Mor). It wouldn't matter as much in a regular situation, but in the novel, the main character is the apprentice of Death. This is tied in with the fact that Mor helps the reapers.
 * Mor's full name is also a reference to the same novel: in the French edition, it is titled Mortimer.
 * In Celtic, the name also means 'Exceptional', which may correspond to his need to get stronger and become his father's right hand.

Thomas

 * Bare Your Midriff: His shirt exposes half of his side.
 * Fashionable Asymmetry: His shirt is slightly open on his right side, his Scarf of Asskicking hangs off his left shoulder, he wears a single pauldron on his left shoulder, and he wears one earring on his left ear.
 * Skunk Stripe: He has a single white-ish stripe on his otherwise orange hair.

Elidi Riarte

 * Green-Eyed Epiphany: Alyva's flirtatiousness around Alan made Elidi realize that she's indeed REALLY in love with Alan.
 * Perpetual Frowner: If she ever smiles, it is at most a slight curve of the lips.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Funnily enough, she is the blue to Alan's red, remaining calm, detached and indifferent to the surrounding events.
 * Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Elidi is cold, aloof and generally does not enjoy interacting with others, but she shows glimpses of her sweet side with her family.
 * Tomboy: Definitely counts as one considering she was practicing to be a swordsman at the age of seven and is considered to be more gifted at it then her husband.
 * Tsurime Eyes: Her eyes are almost always serious and focused.
 * When She Smiles: These moments are worth cherishing.

Scarlett Riarte

 * Berserk Button: Calling her singing bad (at least she says that it pisses her off).
 * Brutal Honesty: Scarlett doesn't let something like societal niceness stop her from telling someone what she thinks of them.
 * Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Scarlett has long, rose-red hair and piercing, bright-green eyes.
 * Red Baron: "Duchess Truin"; eventually "Duchess Ertin"; formerly "Lady Scarlett".

Anna Riarte

 * Adorably Precocious Child: Even as a younger child, she displayed incredible business and money sense, something remarked upon by her parents.
 * Blackmail: If Anna can find dirt on someone whose assistance she needs, you can bet your money she will wield it against them to force them to do her bidding.
 * Brutal Honesty: She doesn't beat around the bush; she's upfront that she expects payment for the things she does.
 * Celibate Heroine: Anna rarely chimes in on the subject of romance, money is her only love.
 * Greed: For Anna, everything begins and ends with money. This stems from her philosophy that money in this world is ultimate and can buy anything.
 * Gold Digger: Implied, as she said she'd only marry someone if they were rich.
 * Friend in the Black Market: The term "friend" is loose here, but Anna provides Bylur with information that are harder to get from regular information dealers.
 * Memetic Hand Gesture: Resting her index finger on her face.
 * Money Fetish: She loves money above all else.

Ezra Riarte

 * The Charmer: He proves himself quite capable of flattering women.
 * Long Haired Prettyboy: Ezra's good looks are mentioned at several points, and his hair is down to his shoulders.
 * The Strategist: His expertise.
 * Troll: Towards his enemies.

Ulric

 * Heroes Prefer Swords: Of course, his go-to weapons are going to be swords considering he's a Master Swordsman.

Katarina “Kat” O'Callaghan

 * Cute Little Fangs: Sometimes shows these.
 * Speaks Fluent Animal: She's shown to be able to converse with cats.

Mavi Elnich
Mavi is the daughter of the former queen of Arwent, Rewin Elnich, and the necromancer Ronich Vermon. It is eventually revealed she is the vessel of power for Erebus, the God of Darkness.


 * Abusive Parents: Her mother counts as this, practically forcing her to be the next queen of Arwent, with Mavi having no say in the matter.
 * Babies Ever After: She marries Raen and adopts six orphaned children.
 * Interspecies Romance: With Raen. Mavi is a half-elf and Raen is a necro-reaper, but it's clear they both deeply love each other.
 * Opposites Attract: Mavi is a kind and sweet half-elf, while Raen is an arrogant and rude reaper. Doesn't make them love each other any less.
 * Parents Walk In at the Worst Time: Walked in on Mirlan and Nevarth 'cuddling'.
 * They Do: Married Raen and adopted six children with her.

Sanvi

 * Affectionate Nickname: Zaleria calls her 'Red', due to her red hair.
 * Little Big Sister: Big sister of Zaleria, and much shorter.
 * Promotion to Parent: Takes this role with her siblings after the loss of their biological parents.

Mirlan



 * Ambiguously Gay: He's told Nevarth that he will never fall in love with a woman, get a wife or have kids, which brought up he may be more or less Asexual. Yet we have that subtext with Nevarth, his brother...
 * Cuddle Bug: Sleepy Mirlan didn't wanna let Nevarth go when they were 'cuddling'; aka Mirlan hugged Nevarth from behind and cuddled into him, refusing to let go.
 * Hot-Headed: Mirlan gets angry rather easily, especially if anyone threatens to take away his siblings.
 * It Amused Me: Flirts between this and For the Evulz when it comes to Nevarth, though Zaleria and Sanvi note that whatever Mirlan says around Nevarth tends to hurt more than help anything.
 * Monster Brother, Cutie Sister: With Efyro, definitely. Mirlan is much meaner compared to the sweetheart that is Efyro.
 * Overprotective Brother: Towards his siblings, to the point that his crippling fear of losing them and the extreme measures he goes to assure they never leave basically makes him a Gender-Inverted version of Azula.
 * Poisonous Friend: Towards his siblings. He tries to get rid of anybody who poses even a minor threat to his siblings. Murder and torture are two methods that are not below him.
 * Sibling Yin-Yang:
 * With Nevarth. Nevarth is more gentlemanly, polite, and is over all a nice person while Mirlan is mean, menacing and is deemed to have an 'ugly' personality by Nevarth himself.
 * Somewhat with Efyro, wherein Efyro is kind and sweet and Mirlan is mean and crude.


 * Yandere: Towards his siblings. Mirlan is very mentally unstable and is willing to do anything to keep his siblings from leaving and being loved by other people.

Zaleria

 * Affectionate Nickname: Sanvi calls her 'Zalerie'.
 * Amazonian Beauty: She's tall and athletic enough that her muscles are visible, yet still noticeably curvy.
 * Ambiguously Gay: Nevarth explains that Zaleria often was seen looking at girls with a far-off look in her eyes. Then we get that subtext with Sanvi...
 * Boyish Short Hair: Has short black hair.
 * Brutal Honesty: Oh boy... come to Zaleria when you want the truth and nothing but the harsh truth.
 * "My mama told me not to lie. So I'll be honest... You're the ugliest person I've ever met."

Nevarth



 * Ambiguously Bi: He's obviously into women and has said he would like to have a wife one day. Yet we still get that subtext with his older brother, Mirlan... Makes the mind wonder.
 * Affectionate Nickname: Mirlan calls him 'Nev' while Zaleria calls him 'Neva'.
 * Tsundere: Type B.
 * Big time with Mirlan after becoming his caretaker when he's off his rocker for a while. While still snarky and abrasive, Nevarth expresses some vulnerability around Mirlan who calls him beautiful with all of his "Thorny pain."
 * This exchange also stands out:
 * Mirlan: (sounding concerned) Nev, are you hurt?
 * Nevarth: (slightly embarrassed) Shut up.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: His is white.

Efyro



 * Affectionate Nickname: Is called 'Efy' by Arvin.
 * All Women Are Doms, All Men Are Subs: Is definitely more dominant than Arvin, being the more talkative of the two, not afraid to speak her mind, and ruling Arwent with an iron fist. Inverted when Arvin's second personality takes over.
 * The Baby of the Bunch: Is the youngest girl of her siblings, along with Arvin, whose the youngest boy.
 * Brother-Sister Incest: With Arvin, who she married.
 * Monster Brother, Cutie Sister: With Mirlan, being much kinder than him.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Has white hair.
 * Young and in Charge: Despite being the youngest female of her siblings, she becomes the next queen of Arwent after Mavi disappeared for 20 years, being thought to be dead.

Arvin

 * Affectionate Nickname: Efyro calls him 'Arvie'.
 * The Baby of the Bunch: Is the youngest boy of her siblings, along with Efyro, whose the youngest girl.
 * Brother-Sister Incest: With Efyro, who he married.
 * Laughing Mad: Multiple.
 * He starts to laugh hysterically after showing his other side to Efyro, while asking her if 'this is what she wanted'.
 * During many of his sanity slippages, he's often seen laughing.
 * When he found out about the person Efyro had been seeing. Let's say he wasn't too happy...
 * Multicolored Hair: His hair is black at the top, which then fades to white.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: Efyro is the only woman he has ever wanted.
 * Split Personality: Originally just a shy little boy who couldn't do anything by himself and required Efyro to sleep with him due to being scared of sleeping alone. After Efyro commented that she wished Arvin would 'grow up', Arvin tried to act more mature, but always seemed to fail. Efyro never imagined that Arvin would develop a more confident, yet twisted personality. Imagine Efyro's face when she sees his second personality for the first time.
 * Yandere: His second personality, towards Efyro. It's implied his first personality was slightly this as well.
 * He's insanely obsessed with Efyro and seriously loses all his cool and rationale when there's anything to do with her, letting his jealousy and obsession make him go out of his way to kill anyone getting in the way of him and Efyro...
 * These exchanges stand out:
 * Arvin, after pinning Efyro's hands to the wall:
 * Arvin: Do you like me now, sister? Am I... to your standard? Am I mature enough? Tell me, sister! I did this for you, you know. You wanted a mature, dominant man, and that's what I became. Not a weakling like my other half. Do you like me now...? Do you like me now?!
 * Efyro: (seemingly taken aback) ...Arvie... I...
 * During his sanity slippage:
 * Arvin: I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you...
 * When he thinks Efyro is about to leave him for good:
 * Arvin: Do you want to go?! ...How badly do you want to leave my grasp?! ...You can't. You can't! I won't have it! I WON'T LET YOU!!

Anastasia Turgor



 * Bizarre Human Biology: In addition to generating a deadly, highly corrosive poison just by existing, Anastasia does not have a heart. She also possesses superhuman strength, endurance, and healing capabilities, and does not need to eat to sustain herself.
 * Can't Have Sex, Ever: Anastasia's condition prevents her from skin-to-skin contact, which is naturally a barrier to physical romance. All of her family members take it in stride with little angst surrounding it, making resolutions to one day find a way to neutralize the poison. Anastasia herself is fairly innocent to the concept of sex, but does look forward towards being able to have physical contact.
 * Eating Optional: She doesn't need to eat, but enjoys the social aspects of sitting around a table with friends and family.
 * Gem Heart: Anastasia has a gem called the Horologium embedded in her chest that is the source of her supernatural powers, cannot be removed without killing her, and is being sought after by a lot of villains.
 * Hollywood Acid: Though it's universally referred to as "poison," Anastasia's skin and blood act more like a fictionalized super-acid in the way that she burns and melts whatever she comes into contact with. After testing it on a variety of materials up to and including a sample of titanium, it is concluded that the reaction is something more alchemical than natural.
 * I Just Want to Be Normal: Anastasia's greatest wish is simply to be normal, to be able to live with other people and touch them without harming them with her poison.
 * Innocent Fanservice Girl: She initially sees no problem with casually taking off her shirt to show people the Horologium embedded in her chest.
 * My Sister Is Off-Limits!: A Gender-Inverted version. Anastasia does not like the idea of her step-brother falling in love and getting married, and gets jealous when any girls try to hit on him. Coincidently, her brother also has this trope for her...
 * Poisonous Person: Anastasia's body is highly corrosive, and contact with her bare skin will melt anything not specially treated with a serum developed from her blood. When a dog bites her and succeeds in breaking the skin, her blood causes the animal's head to melt off. Being enclosed with her in a poorly-ventilated space for an extended period of time is also not good for one's health.
 * Reluctant Monster: She's never wanted to hurt anyone and is horrified by the effects of her poison on the people around her.
 * Walking Wasteland: Anastasia corrodes everything she touches and gives off small amounts of poison just by existing.

Zuri



 * Afraid of Blood: He dislikes the sight of blood and is absolutely horrified when he experiences his first kill in combat. He admits that he still can't get over it.
 * Ambiguous Disorder: Chronic drowsiness when under stress, fluttering from interest to interest and only being able to focus on whatever fancies him in the moment are all characteristics of some forms of ADHD.
 * His tendency to focus only on things that interest him and general lack of social tact at times also could indicate some mild form of Autism.
 * Animal Motifs: Cats. He sleeps a lot, can be Innocently Insensitive, and is constantly curious. Zephyr explicitly warns him of his endless curiosity, referring to how it kills the cat.
 * Berserk Button: The normally laid-back Zuri pretty much throws a tantrum when Ronich refuses to let him study his magic.
 * Bishōnen: He's one of the more feminine-looking male characters among the cast, not helped by his feminine-sounding voice. In art, his pants even look like a skirt.
 * Bookworm: He adores reading and researching magic, and his room is full of books scattered about. He is even the owner of the largest library in the whole world.
 * Brilliant, but Lazy:
 * He has a deep interest in magic, and the creator notes that he's actually one of the smartest cast members, but he has a hard time fighting his drowsiness and admits he gets bored easily.
 * Childhood Friends: With Sylvia, Adira, Aaron, and pretty much the rest of the childhood friend group from Ariamis.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Zuri generally speaks in the same flat, somewhat critical tone of voice, and his interactions with the other characters often come off as pretty snarky.
 * First-Name Basis: There is no mention of his last name until he mentions it to a guard who attempted to grab him; turns out, his surname is Chykov, and he belongs to a noble family who has one of the largest trading companies in the world.
 * Fleeting Passionate Hobbies: He admits he tends to pick up random subjects to research, only to drop them again when he gets bored of them.
 * For Science!: Zuri is willing to take some dangerous risks and sometimes make unknowingly inappropriate statements in the name of Magic research.
 * Hates Being Touched: Touching Zuri in any way, unless you're Levont or Zephyr, is a huge trigger for him. Specifically forcefully grabbing him, as he is prone to yelling angrily if done so. This stems from trauma in which two older men attempted to rape him.
 * Lazy Bum: Generally a giant slacker concerned with napping and taking it easy (unless magic get involved, to the point where his zeal for research makes him forget to eat and sleep).
 * Really Fond of Sleeping: To the point that "Naps" is listed under his likes.
 * Recurring Element: Zuri's a minor version of the "very pretty male priest that could pass as a lady" that was popularized by Lucius. He's one of the most androgynous-looking male characters in the story, as well as being a Gay Option, though unlike previous examples of the archetype, no one mistakes him for a girl at first. He admitted that his uncle used to be a bishop, and he has fairly pacifistic views about battle, as is common with the archetype.
 * Reluctant Warrior: He hates fighting and bloodshed, and fears for both his own 'mortality' and his comrades'. Even during battle, he never fully gets over it by his own admission.
 * War Is Hell: Zuri despises battle, loss of life, and having to kill. Zuri laments the fact that diplomacy and "decency" don't seem to accomplish much in the world, and a talk he has with Levont reveals he dreams of a war-free, peaceful world.
 * Zuri: Percy, I wish to ask something of you. I... I don't want to kill. I don't want blood on my hands. I just want to lie on my back and soak up the sun filtering down through the trees... And I want you to help me make that reality.

Lumi Vermon
Lumi is the daughter of Ronich Vermon and Sylvia, being the twin sister of Lixue Vermon and the half-sister of Mavi Elnich. As the "snow" in her name would suggest, she has a cool personality.


 * Beauty Mark: She has one below her left eye.
 * Brother–Sister Team: When working with Lixue.
 * Dance Battler: She uses a variation of the Noh Mai classic dancing style to fight. Talking to her also reveals she actually takes dance classes.
 * Ice Queen: She acts stoic and cold towards most people, only showing her more passionate side to Lixue and those who hurt him.
 * Icy Blue Eyes: Indeed, and quite appropriate considering her powers.
 * Lady of War: Fights with the utmost grace, is very calm and collected, knows housework and agriculture, and is very dignified.
 * Mistaken for Romance: Her and Lixue.
 * To Be Lawful or Good: The question that drives her Character Development as she seeks to determine what "Pure righteousness" really means and comes to the conclusion that it means helping those in need, even if they're labeled as "evil."
 * Warrior Poet: Poetry is one of her hobbies, along with dancing and the likes.
 * Winter Royal Lady: Gives off a Japanese version of this trope in her clothes and powers.

Kamish

 * Didn't See That Coming: After calling her "smart and fast and beautiful," Kamish is taken completely by surprise when Zorya kisses him.
 * The Hedonist: Kamish seems to enjoy pleasure and the good things in life, such as drinking, partying and sex.
 * Hero-Worshipper: Kamish really admires Zorya for her acts of courage and heroism, and is one of the reasons he falls in love with her.
 * The Mentor: Kamish takes this role for Zorya, not only teaching her the fundamentals of magic and showing her the ropes when it comes to flying, but also teaching Zorya to shapeshift into and out of human form.

Zephyr



 * All Take and No Give: He has this relationship with Zuri, with the twist that it was Zephyr's own idea. Because Zuri took him in, he fully intends to spend the rest of his life doing any task, no matter how menial, Zuri requires or even might require in the future.
 * Ambiguously Brown: He's noticeably darker than the rest of the characters.
 * Brutal Honesty: If Zephyr has criticism for someone, he'll make no effort to be delicate in his phrasing.
 * Even the Guys Want Him: Played for Laughs as every man who tastes his foods asks him to be his wife, which he always turns down.
 * Friendless Background: Zephyr hasn't made any friends, and his standoffish nature doesn't welcome people to approach him and talk.
 * Good Scars, Evil Scars: He has a scar on the right side of his forehead.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Initially. He later drops the Jerk part.
 * Straight Man: To the Guardians, especially Zorya. Whenever they're being particularly conspicuous or silly, he'll be there, exasperated.
 * Stuff Blowing Up: One of his many skills is making explosives.
 * Tsundere: Very much a Tsun. Zephyr can be harsh to his companions, and doesn't hesitate to criticize them when he sees fit. That said, he can be quite tender to them when he wants to be.
 * Workaholic: He's crazy about his work to the point where he appears standoffish, doing multiple jobs for Zuri with gusto (even if Zuri doesn't ask him). He dislikes people offering to do his work for him or help him with it.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: White.

Zorya



 * Arrow Catch: A variant. She is good at using her blades to cut and deflect arrows in mid air.
 * Battle Couple: With Kamish, who she LOVES to show off for by cutting down foes.
 * Brave Scot: Has a firm Scottish accent, and is an amazing fighter.
 * Child Prodigy: Implied. She began training at a young age because Kamish saw she had great skill and potential.
 * Cool Sword: Two of them, modeled after the real-world balisong (butterfly knife). They can also turn into climbing axes.
 * Deadpan Snarker: When she's in a bad mood or trying to distract someone, she tends to get very sarcastic. Also, she isn't afraid to let loose with biting snark when she thinks someone's about to do something stupid.
 * Expressive Ears: It's subtle most of the time but if you look closely you can see her ears moving particularly when her emotions run high.
 * Facial Markings: One blue claw on each cheek. This seems to be a trait she shares with other Moon Dragons.
 * Horned Humanoid: Has two horns curling visibly from the top of her head. This is a Moon Dragon trait she shares with the rest of her kind.
 * Interplay of Sex and Violence: Zorya is so good at fighting that she uses killing enemies as a sort of flirting method to impress Kamish. Kamish loves it.
 * The Lancer: Is this to Kamish. Whenever he's cautious or levelheaded, she tends to be stubborn and headstrong. Whenever Kamish is being rash or reckless, she tends to be the calming influence.
 * Lunacy: Moon Dragons draw their power from the moon.
 * Misplaced Accent: She's a dragon, living alongside other dragons, and even Kamish commented that he doesn't know where Zorya picked up her accent from since her parents didn't have them, nor did any other dragon where she was from.
 * Muscles Are Meaningless: Is said to be the fastest and strongest of the Moon Dragons, but looks like a typical skinny girl. Partially justified since she has a Moon Primal connection, which allows her to be faster and stronger than her physique would suggest.
 * Mystical White Hair: Like the rest of the Moon Dragons, symbolizing her moon powers.
 * Official Couple: With Kamish towards the end of The Mother Tree Arc.
 * Reverse Grip: She is sometimes seen holding her twin blades this way.
 * Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Zorya becomes an Official Couple with Kamish because of his many admirable qualities: Intelligence, kindness, humility, bravery, sensitivity, and being there for her at her lowest.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: White.

Sir. Lancelot

 * Former Teen Rebel: Lancelot was... quite rougher around the edges while younger. According to Elaine, he was kind of a prankster as a child and a huge brawler as a teenager/young adult (and a bit of a manwhore), only growing into a Reasonable Authority Figure around the time he married Elaine.
 * The Good King: Accounts of his life paint him as this.
 * Good Parents: He truly cares for his children.
 * Love at First Sight: He says this was how he fell in love with Elaine.

Elaine

 * Creepy Cool Crosses: She has a lot of inverted cross imagery across her dress.
 * Elegant Gothic Lolita: A black dress with cross imagery and fitting headdress are her trademark outfit.
 * Mama Bear: A downplayed example, as she's normally kind and gentle, but she crafts a special barrier over her entire kingdom to keep it safe, and is also willing to jump in front of an exploding sword just to defend her children.
 * Mum Looks Like a Sister: She doesn't look quite old enough to be Alice and Nova's mother.
 * Mystical White Hair: A white-haired vampire.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: More like Pinkish-Red Eyes Take Warning, but...

Alice
The Princess of the Vampires, Alice is a sadist who delights in punishing and humiliating others, especially her own brother.


 * Anti-Villain: Eventually becomes this, given her actual goal is to turn humans into her "puppets" to preserve their innocence, personality and appearance so that they never have to suffer as puppets do not feel traumatized.
 * Ax-Crazy: Wastes little time in demonstrating just how much of a psycho she is, killing people left and right with pleasure, though most of her victims appear to be Asshole Victims.
 * Benevolent Boss: She is very kind to her puppets and refuses to think of using them as shields. She also fights alongside her puppets and treats them as her friends, which is a lot more then she treats other people.
 * Berserk Button: If someone thinks or does something perverted about her.
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She seems like a nice, if extremely flirtatious girl. Then she starts killing people...
 * Bi The Way: Alice is very straightforward with her sexuality, admitting that "seeing cute girls excites her" and her main torture targets are men. While it isn't said what her type is, it is important to note that she, jokingly, said her type was "someone who can withstand her torture", but it obviously was a joke, which Luca pointed out. She then said her type was "someone who understands and can deal with her pain", which is a much more serious answer, and not even Luca or Nova could tell if she was lying or not.
 * Blue and Orange Morality: It's hard to tell whether her motives are good or bad. On one hand, she's "devouring" humans to turn them into puppets, preserving their innocence, personality and appearance, intending to make them unable to suffer. On the other, she makes those killings as sadistic as possible.
 * Consummate Liar: By her own admission.
 * Cute and Psycho: Unlike most of the other main characters who are sweet or Tsundere, her sweetness is only a front for her psychotic personality. It doesn't seem the cute half is completely fake as she killed some guys for hurting a defenseless kitten, it's just her psychotic side that is more prominent.
 * Damsel out of Distress: It's no easy feat to kidnap her or restrain her and she might get out before anyone arrives to save her.
 * Dark Action Girl: Unlike most of the other characters, she is very aware of her murderous actions, and is the most dangerous vampire to date with a S-level threat classification.
 * Dude Magnet: Many men are attracted to her.
 * First-Name Basis: She makes no mention of her surname willingly, at first.
 * Friend to All Living Things: Just not human beings... or at least the nastier side of humanity considering the people we've actually seen her kill are not exactly saints. The puppets often make note of how kind she is to them, even going so far as to think of them as her fellow vampires, because of the rather harsh treatment they often get from others.
 * Gratuitous French: Her "Fleuve d'étoiles" whip's name means "River of Stars".
 * Interplay of Sex and Violence: She seems to enjoy inflicting pain on, and otherwise punishing, other people a little too much...
 * Kick Chick: Alice is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, being able to land successful and painful kicks when angered or agitated, as seen when she easily took Avery and Luca down with one swift kick.
 * Kick the Dog: Alice gets the most personal pleasure out of making Nova suffer. However, some of her methods (covering him in watermelon seeds and mayonnaise) aren't exactly the most effective means of doing so.
 * Knife Nut: Alice has several throwing knives concealed on her belt on her left thigh.
 * Ms. Fanservice: She's a large-breasted albino who consistently wears skimpy outfits, carries a whip, is frequently subject to Clothing Damage, almost always fights other women, is often depicted in cosplay outfits and sometimes maid costumes, is occasionally captured and tied up, and is commonly drawn from provocative angles or with emphasis on suggestive body parts.
 * Polar Opposite Twins: Alice is brash, emotional and sadistic, compared to Nova who is soft-spoken, quiet and masochistic.
 * The Power of Love: Loke claims this is why their bond is strong enough that he can summon himself without using up her magic power. She denies anything of the sort.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Alice is the loud and very emotional Red Oni to Nova's quiet and not openly emotional Blue Oni.
 * Sadist: The major attribute that makes her the total opposite of Nova is that, while her brother lives to be punished, Alice would much rather do the punishing.
 * Strong Family Resemblance: She looks virtually identical to her mother, Elaine.
 * Took a Level in Kindness: Way back when she first appears, she's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who, while caring towards her puppets and friends (as much as she can be), is more inclined to punishing them for no good reason. As the story progresses, she becomes more mature, friendly, heroic and self-confident. To a degree, that is...
 * Twincest: It is shown that Nova has some romantic feelings for her, but cannot express them in a healthy, positive way.
 * What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Her defining trait as a puppeteer is that she treats all of her puppets as living, feeling beings rather than tools to be used.
 * Whip It Good: She carries her Fleuve d'étoiles. She can also turn it into a sword.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: She has white hair.

Nova

 * Bedmate Reveal: Alice reveals to have woken up several times with Nova next to her.
 * Bishōnen: Even prettier than Loke. He's attractive to the point where Alice compliments his beauty and Loke fears he would grab the girls' attention away from him; and he does.
 * Catchphrase: "Are you going to punish me?"
 * Clueless Chick Magnet: It only takes him going out once for the girls around Loke to focus on him instead, but Nova has yet to notice. Not that he would care if he did, since his attraction is "reserved for Alice-San only".
 * Cute and Psycho: While his kind and happy nature is genuine, that doesn't mean he's completely harmless. Aside from his already existing Yandere tendencies, he also enjoys horror books for how helpless the victims are in them.
 * Creepy Monotone: Once he reveals his true personality, this is his default tone of voice.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: It's strongly implied that he was horrendously bullied his entire life, and given that he's very quick to offer to take his clothes off when he thinks Alice is mad at him, it's possible he was sexually harassed as well.
 * Desperately Craves Affection: He was bullied so severely throughout his life that he's convinced that the only way people will pay attention to him is to humiliate himself in front of them. This is shown to have some very dark consequences when he's in his vampire form, as he commits murder in the name of his "beloved", who is most likely Alice.
 * Disproportionate Retribution: He pretty much asks to be punished by Alice over everything, even when he does something right.
 * Hates Being Alone: He's willing to go to extremes, such as degrading himself in front of Alice, giving her his money, being exploited, and taking all kinds of abuse from her if it means he won't be alone.
 * Love Makes You Evil: Claims that he murders because it would have pleased the only one who ever truly loved him. It's implied (and later confirmed) that this person is Alice.
 * Nightmare Fetishist: He likes horror books because of how helpless the victims are in them.
 * Polar Opposite Twins: Alice is brash, emotional and sadistic, compared to Nova who is soft-spoken, quiet and masochistic.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Alice is the loud and very emotional Red Oni to Nova's quiet and not openly emotional Blue Oni.
 * School Bullying Is Harmless: Ahahaha, no. Nova's been systematically abused by his peers ever since childhood, and learned that the only way his sister would be willing to pay him the slightest bit of mind was to utterly humiliate himself in front of her. If he feels Alice is getting bored by his company, he'll offer to perform degrading acts like stripping or imitating a sea turtle laying eggs.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: It is heavily implied that he is madly in love with Alice, and it's outright confirmed. Nova claims that Alice was the only person who showed him "love and affection" hence his extreme devotion to her.
 * That Came Out Wrong: He says that he "pleaded with (Alice) in many ways" to get her to help him look for Amanda, prompting Alice to tell him "Don't say anything that'll make people take it the wrong way..."
 * He also tries to help strengthen his and Alice's alibis by saying they "woke up together that morning." Everyone is quick to ask what kind of situation that was, which Nova says is because he "accidentally fell asleep next to Alice."
 * Too Kinky to Torture: He asks to be punished all the time. The times Alice punishes him, he looks like he enjoys it.
 * Weakness Turns Him On: Nova declared that he wants to be Alice's private nurse and take care of her forever. He also wouldn't mind her being crippled for the rest of her life so that she needs to depend on him.
 * Yandere: He shows shades of this, both after revealing that he killed for the sake of someone he loved (who is heavily implied, and later confirmed, to be his sister) and towards Alice in one scene, in which he openly contemplates rendering her an invalid so he can take care of her forever. It's hinted that he could become a fully-fledged Yandere if he's pushed too far.

Jacob
"Indeed, I am. Lady Alice gave me a home when nobody else would. I will happily serve her until my dying day."

Jacob, also known as Virgo by Alice, is a dutiful butler who can burrow underground and manipulate earth, making him one of Alice's top combat-ready puppets. From household chores to combat, he can do it all, but he doesn’t show an ounce of friendliness towards anyone besides Alice.


 * Abusive Parents:
 * As revealed by Jacob, his parents were nobles who straight-up abandoned him at the vampire castle to be a servant.


 * Because You Were Nice to Me: He explains to Amanda that Alice was kind to him when nobody else was during his early days as a butler. That's why he's so devoted to her.
 * Bishōnen: An archetypical one, with slender, feminine looks, long hair, and a pleasant voice (helped by his British accent).
 * Bodyguard Crush: Has this towards Alice.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: It's revealed that he was mistreated and abused by his parents for as long as he can remember before they ultimately abandoned him to become a servant to the vampires purely so they could be rid of him. And even then, he was still constantly belittled and mistreated by the rest of the palace staff until Alice came into his life, which is why he's both devoutly loyal to her and why he's so anti-social to everyone else. He even outright says that Alice was the only person in his life up to that point who ever treated him with kindness.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Some of his words involve some blunt sarcasm left and right, especially with Amanda.
 * Dishing Out Dirt: He specializes in Earth Magic, specifically Diver, to burrow underground and manipulate earth.
 * Fainting: He ends up fainting from Alice praising him.
 * Haughty Help: Jacob is Alice's personal butler and attendant, and serves her with the utmost care and is unfailingly polite to her, even when things are rough. However, he's snobbish and rude to everyone else and strikes up conversations with others, even Alice's close friends, just to mock them.
 * Hidden Heart of Gold: If anyone so much as implies Jacob is actually a nice guy deep down, he will belligerently deny it and try to prove them wrong.
 * Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Alice wants for nothing with Jacob - he's good at chores, cooking, holds vast knowledge on almost any subject, and is highly skilled in combat. According to Alice, however, this wasn't always the case; his parents were nobles who turned him over to the vampire royal family, so at first he didn't know how to do most things, and it was only thanks to Alice that he stayed in service.
 * I Am Very British: Speaks with a very formal Received Pronunciation accent.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Is callous to sometimes-hilarious extents towards almost anyone who isn't Alice, who he loyally and enthusiastically serves.
 * Love Confession:
 * "I love you...I was always afraid to say it, but from now on I will tell you every single day. I love you."
 * No Social Skills: Is rude and dismissive to almost everyone.
 * Parental Abandonment: He eventually reveals that he was turned over to the vampire royal family as a child, and he never saw his Blue Blood parents again. He even tells Amanda that he cannot remember what his parents looked like.
 * The Reliable One: Jacob proves himself to be a great asset to Alice in innumerable departments from combat, to household chores, to advising. He even knows every inch of the vampire kingdom in case Alice should ever need directions.
 * Sugar-and-Ice Personality: He's attentive and kind towards Alice, but very rude and abrasive towards almost everyone else.
 * True Companions: If Alice is ever in peril, Jacob will be there to aid her. His personal skill specifically serves to protect Alice, and no matter what path she decides to take or the choices she makes, Jacob will never be an enemy.
 * Tsundere: A mild type A. Most of the time when he does something nice, his words are along the lines of "it's not for you" or "I have nothing better to do anyway".
 * Tunnel King: His main ability, Diver, allows Jacob to travel underground as simply as swimming in water. With this spell, Jacob can create holes to either trap someone or utilize as an escape method.
 * Voluntary Shapeshifting: He adapts his looks to his owner's taste, though not for much else.

Luca

 * Cannot Spit It Out: He is not really good about voicing his feelings on anything, let alone romantic ones.
 * Crazy Jealous Guy: Even before he understands why, Luca gets pissed when other guys hit on Alice.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: His parents used him as a tool to overthrow the Vampire Royal Family, and he accidentally put them into a deep coma via his powers.
 * Does Not Like Spam: Much is made of Luca's dislike of onions, leeks, and miso. It's occasionally used as blackmail to get him to do something. And when he willingly cooks with leeks to make something for Alice when she's sick, it's one of the earliest indications of how dear she is to him.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He is actually kind, but hates it because he thinks kindness is a form of weakness.
 * Kissing Cousins: Him and Alice are cousins, and were engaged as children.
 * The Rival: Avery is Luca's rival in life as well as in love through the story.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: He has never shown attraction for anyone other than Alice.
 * Tsundere: A male Harsh type and very much justified due to his difficult childhood. Luca is abrasive, hotheaded, and violent, but also very sensitive and vulnerable beneath that tough guy act. While it's clear how he feels about Alice, he doesn't know how to express it aside from getting red-faced around her.

Avery

 * Dark and Troubled Past: He was an orphaned as a child. The orphanage he resided would do daily and horrific experiments on the children, and he got the worse of it.
 * The Rival: Luca is Avery's rival in life as well as in love through the story.
