Words Worth/Characters

note: Need help with character images (preferably from the anime), since I don't know how to format them. Any assistance is appreciated.

Prince Astral
"The Protagonist son of King Wortoshika, thus, Prince of the Tribe of Shadow and Sharon's fiancee. For the most part, he's the typical sword slinging fantasy hero... except perverted."


 * Adaptation Dye Job: Astral's hair is brown in the game. The anime changes it to blue.
 * All Men Are Perverts: Astral's a good guy, and he means well, but he'll never miss an opportunity to sneak a peek or score with the ladies! Incidentally, this is how he incurs Maria's wrath.
 * Badass Normal: Astral has no superpowers or magic to speak of, but if you hurt his friends or try to rape his fiancee, YOU. WILL. PAY.
 * Brother-Sister Incest: Given that he's the biological son of, along with the possibility of Maria also being   biological daughter, and both having blue hair, it'd mean the guy raped his own sister without realizing it.
 * Chaste Hero: Like HELL! Astral doesn't know the meaning of the word.
 * Easy Amnesia: Suffers this as a prolonged side effect of being blown twenty years into the future by Maria's Mystral Window ability.
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: Like every good fantasy hero.
 * Idiot Hero: He um... initially believes Maria's vag is a "cut" from his sword. So he decides to poke around in it, and well....
 * "It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It": That's his story, and he's sticking to it. The thing is, he honestly thought Maria had enjoyed it, despite being shackled to the wall and protesting the entire time; he even released her restraints once it appeared she was getting into it. She begged to differ.
 * Nice Guy: A pervy one, but nice all the same.
 * Oh Crap: Invoked twice.
 * The first time's right before Maria unleashes her Mystral Window ability in retaliation for raping her, AND severing her father's arm.
 * The second time is right after he regains consciousness from a fall... in time to see Sharon and Mew have found out about each other. Astral wisely chooses to remain "unconscious".
 * Sharon, Where's My Respect?: The reason he wants a Swordsman Seal so badly.
 * The Hero: More or less, though he doesn't always act like it.
 * Unstoppable Rage: Astral has a brief moment of this after King Fabris kills, during which, he severs his arm. This, however, causes Maria's temper to flare, in addition to having raped her earlier. It does not end well for him....
 * Unwanted Harem: Sharon, Nina, and Mew are all vying for Astral's affections, by the time it's over. Nina already has a daughter with him, and Mew might actually BE his daughter with Maria!
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Though it's brown in the game.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Though it's brown in the game.

King Wortoshika
"King of the Tribe of Shadow and Astral's father. Wortoshika's fearsome appearance and large stature makes him an imposing figure, to say the least."


 * Curb Stomp Battle: Rita was never a threat to him and it's made clear that he was well aware of it. Wortoshika seemed to find it amusing that she even tried.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: The guy's no saint, but he's a paragon of virtue compared to Fabris.
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: The mere thought of having to face Wortoshika  was enough to make Astral haul ass! Later, during the fourth episode, Rita goes brimming with confidence to shaking in her boots when he tells her who he is!
 * Rape Is Love: With Astral missing, and presumably dead, he rapes Rita, believing he needed to sire a child with a woman from the Tribe of Light in order to fulfill the prophecy. By the time they're done, it's plain to see that she's fallen for him.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: In spite of his fearsome appearance.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: Wortoshika did everything in his power to end over one hundred years of sensless war and bloodshed,
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: The mere thought of having to face Wortoshika  was enough to make Astral haul ass! Later, during the fourth episode, Rita goes brimming with confidence to shaking in her boots when he tells her who he is!

Sharon
"One of the Tribe of Shadow's generals and easily one of their fiercest combatants. She also happens to be Astral's fiance, which she initially has mixed feelings about. Sharon falls for him after"

"Mew: (in alarm) "She's hugging him!" Sharon: (with cross-popping vein) "He's holding her tight!""
 * Abhorrent Admirer: Fabris becomes obsessed with Sharon, upon first seeing her in battle. She isn't flattered by the attention.
 * Action Girl: One of the fiercest you'll find in a hentai series. Even Ceasar has a hard time keeping pace with her, given that she faired better against Fabris than he did. Later, she stalemates versus Astral, and even takes part in the final battle against !
 * All Love Is Unrequited: Poor Ceasar, he really does love her, and wants her as his bride. But her heart belongs to Astral.
 * Badass Normal: Sharon's prowess is truly astounding to say she neither has supernatural ability or superhuman ability of any kind. Instead, it is the result of years of training and experience that have fostered such skill; enabling her to battle the likes of Fabris, and ancient evils such as
 * Cross-Popping Veins: Gets one when she and Mew witness Astral getting a little too cozy with Nina.
 * Cross-Popping Veins: Gets one when she and Mew witness Astral getting a little too cozy with Nina.


 * Defrosting Ice Queen: Toward Astral.
 * Get It Over With: After suffering defeat at the hands of Fabris, she tells him to kill her; preferring to die, than be defiled by him.
 * Good People Have Good Sex: She consummates her engagement to Astral after twenty years of separation. Their lovemaking accounts for nearly half of the final episode.
 * Hair Decorations: Her crescent moon shaped hair clips.
 * Hair of Gold: Has long golden locks.
 * Hot Chick with a Sword: Gorgeous, a smoking hot bod, and can take on a small army. It's no wonder Astral, Ceasar, and Fabris all want her.
 * Kuudere: For much of the series. At least, until Astral proves himself to her. From then on, she begins to warm up to him.
 * Lady of War: Calm, reserved, graceful with a sword, and rides into battle atop her steed.
 * One Woman Army: Sharon must be seen to be believed. Fabris outright stated her prowess surpassed Ceasar's and, during the Outter Stories, Astral actually takes a moment to admire her in action.
 * Panty Shot: She inadvertantly gives Astral one when she leaps over his head to mount up for battle.
 * Rapunzel Hair: Almost as long as Sakaki's. Meaning, it's past her waist.
 * Rescue Romance: This is what causes Sharon's opinion of Astral to change. She formerly regarded him as indecisive and unreliable. After he saves her from nearly being raped by Fabris, and holds him off, she realizes she can depend on him after all.
 * The Rival: She apparently sees Mew as a romantic rival for Astral's affections. Justified since
 * When She Smiles: Seen during her reunion with Astral. Say it with me: "Aaaawwwwww."

Nina
"A Catgirl who administers the exam for the Swordsmen Seal and grants one to those who successfully complete it. She also harbors feelings for Astral, which is why she helps him obtain a Swordsman Seal against Wortoshika's wishes."


 * Catgirl: Obviously, and quite possibly the cutest one you'll ever see.
 * Cute Little Fangs: Comes with the territory.
 * Cheerful Supporter: To Astral. She even grants him a Swordsman Seal (after administering the test for it), even though it was against King Wortoshika's wishes.
 * Cute Monster Girl: That's putting it mildly.
 * Damsel in Distress:
 * Facial Markings: Has a pair of triangular shaped fur patches on her cheeks.
 * Good People Have Good Sex: Nina consummates her feelings for Astral after he saves her from being raped --and likely devoured afterward-- by a giant spider. They have a fairly intense lovemaking session, which leads to...
 * Immodest Orgasm: Right as she's about to climax, her back arches and her tail shoots straight into the air... then she literally mewls like a cat!
 * Luminescent Blush: She's prone to this whenever she's around Astral.
 * Rose-Haired Girl: In normal lighting, it's closer to hot pink; whereas, in dark light, it takes on a lavender color.
 * Rose-Haired Girl: In normal lighting, it's closer to hot pink; whereas, in dark light, it takes on a lavender color.

Ceasar
"The Shadow Tribe's other general, and childhood friend of Sharon. While he is reknowned for his skill with a blade, he'd much rather be known as Sharon's husband and seeks her hand in marriage. Sadly, while Sharon is touched by his affections and admires him for his strength, the feeling isn't mutual."

"Fabris: (admirably) "I'm impressed. You're much better at this than Ceasar. However, even you can't hope to match MY ability!""
 * Bishonen: So bishie, he could almost pass for Byakuya Kuchiki with white hair.
 * White-Haired Pretty Boy: As previously noted.
 * Dude, She's Like, in a Coma: In the game, Sharon becomes effected by an aphrodisiac from Fabris' dagger; forcing her to withdraw from the battle when it begins to hinder her performance. Ceasar, fully aware of this, and frustrated over Sharon choosing Astral over him, nearly takes advantage of the situation. Thankfully, his conscience gets the better of him preventing him from actually going through with it.
 * Hopeless Suitor: He had hoped he and Sharon could be together sometime after the war, and makes his intentions clear to her in the fourth episode. She was flattered, but politely declines.
 * Just Friends: As seen in the preceding entry, directly above. We feel your pain, Ceasar.
 * Overshadowed by Awesome: For all his fame and skill with a blade, he cannot match Sharon's ability. This becomes evident when he attempts to face King Fabris, who defeats him in short order. Not only does Sharon outlast Ceasar, Fabris himself notes the difference in their ability.


 * Unlucky Childhood Friend: To Sharon, whose heart belongs to Astral. In the anime, he acquiesces. In the game, however, he's not as accepting. Or gracious....
 * However, should the player chose Nina, Delta, or Mew, the epilogue mentions that he and Sharon begin living together; hinting at the possibility of a Relationship Upgrade.

Stallion
"A lecherous horseman, who serves as both a foot soldier and the jailor for the Tribe of Shadow. Known for taking female Light Tribe prisoners to his special "torture chamber", where he rapes them with varying degrees of success."


 * All Men Are Perverts: Words Worth's capital offender. Stallion's thoughts are always about sex, or his next sexual conquest (read: rape victim).
 * Berserk Button: Whatever you do, DO NOT call him "horsie", "Mr. Horse", or the like as he'll sternly point out his name is, "Stallion"; quite painfully, I might add.
 * Black Comedy Rape: Stallion's character is based entirely on this trope; especially where women of the Light Tribe are concerned.
 * Butt Monkey: Played for Laughs in both versions. In the game, his attempts tend to fail more than they succeed. Whereas, in the anime, he usually never gets much further than foreplay before the victim escapes, or something/someone interferes.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Half horse, half man. But don't call him that, he's touchy about that subject.
 * Lecherous Licking: Does this and more,, to Maria, before she gets him to stop by tearfully asking that he return her ring to her.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: For the women of the Tribe of Light, as he has no interest in the Shadow Tribe's women... except Delta.

Delta
"A demon, more likely a Succubus, who's a childhood friend of Astral and Sharon. She appears briefly in the beginning, but plays a much larger role during the latter half of the series."


 * Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: On the one hand, if she hadn't been snooping,  On the other hand, if she hadn't done that, she wouldn't have been able to tell Astral and the others about them either. Or lead them to where Nina and Ariadne were being held prisoner.
 * Cute Little Fangs: As part of the monster-girl image.
 * Cute Monster Girl: A straighter example than Nina, given her pale grey skin, and other features. Specifically: bat wings, and clawed hands and feet.
 * Femme Fatalons: Delta has them on her hands and her feet, and they're all natural.
 * Oh Crap: Delta's reaction once she realizes she's been caught snooping by  and is about to pay for it.
 * Cry Cute: As she's dragged away to her "doom", complete with a comedic cry of, "WAAAAHHH!!"
 * Rapunzel Hair: Her hair is even longer than Sharon's!
 * Succubus: While never explicitly stated, this seems to be her monster type, given  Along with the fact that even Stallion --who has no interest in Shadow Tribe women-- still finds her attractive.
 * You Gotta Have Cyan Hair: Cool blue to compliment her pale skin.
 * Succubus: While never explicitly stated, this seems to be her monster type, given  Along with the fact that even Stallion --who has no interest in Shadow Tribe women-- still finds her attractive.
 * You Gotta Have Cyan Hair: Cool blue to compliment her pale skin.

King Fabris
"King of the Tribe of Light and, presumably, Wortoshika's equal both in prowess and stature. He serves as the primary antagonist for much of the series until"

"Fabris: (watches Sharon) "That woman..." Club: (inquisitive) "You know her, Sire?" Fabris: (lecherous grin) "No. I just want to"
 * All Men Are Perverts: At least, where Sharon's concerned.


 * Attempted Rape: Tries to make good on his designs for Sharon immediately upon defeating her in battle. Interference from  and, moments later, Astral, keeps it from happening.
 * Badass Normal: No magic. No superpowers. Now take a look at the Four-Star Badass entry below!
 * Dirty Old Man: Lusts after Sharon, who looks young enough to be his 19-22 year old daughter.
 * Four-Star Badass: The man bested Ceasar and Sharon back-to-back without a moments rest inbetween, and barely flinched when he lost his arm to Astral! It's no wonder he's in charge of the Light Tribe's army.
 * Kill the Cutie: Alas, poor
 * Light Is Not Good: Understatement.
 * Fabris repeatedly has his army invade the Shadow Tribe's domain in order to procure the fragments of the Words Worth tablet for himself, expresses his desire to rape Sharon, several times, and attempts to make good on it immediately after defeating her in combat, kills poor  for interfering, and takes advantage of Astral's amnesia by turning him against his homeland. Fabris will NEVER win any awards for 'Mr. Nice Guy'.
 * Manipulative Bastard:
 * Parental Substitute: Maria's adoptive father.
 * Pet the Dog: Gets a moment like this with his granddaughter, Mew. Then it's back to business as usual.
 * Single-Target Sexuality: For Sharon, though she'd rather die than give him the satisfaction. It doesn't stop him from trying anyway.

Maria
"King Fabris' adoptive daughter and a powerful mage for the Tribe of Light. Maria's magic makes her one of their most valuable assests on the field."

"Mew: "Mother...." Maria: (sagely) "I know." both watch as clouds gather and the sky darkens ominously"
 * Action Girl: As much as Sharon, at least, for as long as she's onscreen. In her opening scene, she wipes out a significant portion of the Shadow Tribe army on her own. Later, she frees herself, after being captured (and raped), then goes on to rescue Silverna.
 * Brother-Sister Incest: May have been raped by her brother without realizing they were related. See Astral's entry above for the detailed version.
 * Child by Rape: Her daughter, Mew, is implied to be the result of having been raped by Astral.
 * Cry Cute: She uses this on Stallion to make him stop molesting her. It works. So she plays up the water works to get him to return her ring to her. Big mistake.
 * Foot Focus: The anime and some of her official art feature multiple close ups of her feet; which is likely the reason they're so exceptionally well drawn. The fact that she wears sandals ensures you can't help but see them.
 * Hair Decorations: She wears a thin circlet.
 * Immodest Orgasm: So intense it
 * Lady of Black Magic: She may lack Sharon's combat skills, but her magic more than makes up for it. Her magic encompasses the following abilities:
 * Blow You Away: Invokes a brief wind spell to push Astral away from her father.
 * Levitation: Which is how she crosses the cavern, placing herself between them.
 * Mystral Window: Maria's signature skill: a powerful wave of light magic. She uses it at its full power, against Astral, in retaliation for raping her and injuring her father. The resulting blast sends him twenty years into the future; leaving him utterly devastated and without his memory!
 * My Significance Sense Is Tingling: See below.
 * Ms. Fanservice: If you appreciate a great pair of legs and dainty feet. In fact, she seems designed with those particular fetishes in mind; not that there's anything wrong with the rest of her!
 * My Significance Sense Is Tingling: In the fourth episode, Maria is seen gazing at the horizon, having sensed an ill omen:  By the time her daughter arrives on the veranda, Maria's well aware that all is not well.

"Maria: (snide grin) "You actually think I enjoyed having some nasty Shadow man thingy inside me? Heh, You must be crazy! Now you bastard, turned beast, I'll remove you from this world forever, and EVER!!"
 * Older and Wiser: During the timeskip, where she becomes almost sage-like. When Maria removes her mother's ring, she effectively passes the torch and her role onto her daughter, Mew.
 * Out of Focus: From episode three onward. Maria still makes an appearance now and then, but that's about it.
 * Power Echoes: Invoked when she unleashes her Mystral Window, at it's full power, against Astral! Then again, Maria was pissed.
 * Ring of Power: Her mother's ring, which  So it has sentimental value as well as magic enhancing ability. She eventually passes it onto her daughter, Mew.
 * She's Got Legs: A luscious pair to compliment all the Foot Focus she receives, and she's got the split seams to show 'em off.
 * Woman Scorned: Her dialouge before annihilating Astral says it all.

Maria: (with ominous echo) "Mystral Window!!"


 * Woman in White: Wears an elegant white robe with split seams, sandals, and a sea green cloak (seen at the lower right, here).
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: The same as

Silverna
"A tomboyish fencer of the Light Tribe's army. There are also hints suggesting she may be She's a support character for much of the first half of the game. In the anime, however...."


 * Boyish Short Hair: She has a short dark mussy head off hair.
 * Cute Bruiser: You almost feel sorry for those two pig guards... almost. Ah who're we kidding?
 * Cute Little Fangs: They're visible while she's protesting against being molested by her captors --a pair of pig guards.
 * Groin Attack: Justified and Played for Laughs. It's how she gets her revenge on the aforementioned guards; accompanied by imagery of cracking walnuts!
 * Out of Focus: She has a somewhat larger role, in the game, as a support character. The anime treats her more like a minor one. She only appears briefly in the first two episodes. After that, she's gone.
 * Tomboy: She's not what you'd call feminine, or gentle.
 * Tomboyish Sidetails: A short scruffy looking pair.
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Her stockings reach just below mid thigh, so Class B.

Mew
"An apprentice mage and daughter of Maria, She assumes her mother's role in the story, following the timeskip."


 * Action Girl: Like mother, like daughter.
 * Badass Adorable: Not only does Mew take part in the final battle, she plays a pivotal role in  defeat by using her magic to supercharge Astral for the final blow!
 * Black Mage: She's not nearly as proficient as her mother (yet), but her magic is nothing to scoff at.
 * Child by Rape: While it's never confirmed, the implications are there nonetheless. Particularly since Maria is unwed and still single following the timeskip. Nor is she said to have been with anyone, besides Astral, during that time; leaving him as the only plausible candidate for being Mew's father.
 * Foot Focus: Absent in the anime, but occasionally featured in her official art, though not to the same extent as her mother.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: The disclaimer on the back of the disc cover asserts that all characters depicted in sexual acts, or in the nude, are 18 and older. Yet, Mew plainly states she's just going 18, when asked about her upcoming birthday. Meaning, she's 17 at the time she sleeps with Astral.
 * Good People Have Good Sex: Mew's is the second instance of consensual sex in the series proper.
 * Hair Decorations: Wears a matching pair of red hair ribbons.
 * My Significance Sense Is Tingling: In the fourth episode, Mew stops what she's doing when she senses an ill omen and looks for her mother. By the time she reaches the veranda, Maria is already there, having sensed the disturbance ahead of her.
 * Older Than They Look: Physically, Mew appears to be only 15-16 because she's relatively short, when compared to the other females, and looks younger as well. This is briefly discussed, in series, when Fabris mentions her upcoming birthday. Mew plainly states she'll be 18, which makes her 17.
 * Parental Incest: If it turns out that she really IS Astral's daughter, then yeah. Though, in all fairness, neither of them is aware of it, if it's true.
 * Rescue Romance: First meets Astral (who was amnesiac) when he saves her from being mauled by a rampaging bear. She grows closer to him, during the time he's serves Fabris, until she becomes taken with him.
 * The Rival: Sums up her opinion of Sharon where Astral's affections are concerned.

Rita
"An aspiring swordswoman (so she says) from the Tribe of Light. In truth, however, she doesn't seem to know what she's doing; which becomes obvious when they're ambushed by Delta and comically so when"


 * Darkskinned Blonde: See directly below.
 * Expy: Of Mihoshi.
 * Rita not only looks like her (even has the exact same hairstyle), she has the same cheerful upbeat personality and optimism, offset by the same bumbling antics; particularly when she's frightened or in over her head. Likewise, she's the Plucky Comic Relief.
 * Faux Action Girl: For all her hopes of becoming a swordswoman, Rita's off to a very rough start.
 * She initially panics when she and "Pollux" get ambushed by Delta, who uses her succubus charms to seduce him. Though Rita does manage to scare Delta off, just as she was about to assassinate "Pollux", thus, saving his life.
 * Her encounter with Wortoshika was purely comical. In all fairness, however, it was friggin' Wortoshika! So Rita can be forgiven for panicking, as well as giving up. Still, she may want to start small and work her way up. She'll live longer.
 * Get It Over With: She tries invoke this, after she forfeits against Wortoshika, by casting her sword aside and sprawling on the ground, awaiting to be killed. It doesn't go the way she planned.
 * Panty Shot: She gives "Pollux" an eyeful  while they're crawling through an airshaft. Then gives him a faceful when she stops, unexpectedly, and backs into him!
 * Plucky Comic Relief: Tenchi fans will take one look at her and know what to expect. The only times Rita isn't used for comedy or to cut tension, is when she's being victimised.
 * Rape Is Love: As previously stated under Wortoshika's examples. This becomes especially evident when
 * Rape Is Love: As previously stated under Wortoshika's examples. This becomes especially evident when
