 * But Not Too Bi She's a succubus, so she prefers to attack men.
 * Chekhov's Gun Simply put: ..
 * Covert Pervert Subtlety and sexuality are never mixed with her in pretty much any way. She says what she wants, when she wants it, and often times goes straight for it. However, the only actual "covert" part of this trope applies to how she tends to use her magic to conceal her presence from others and spy on them, even during their more  But then...
 * Clingy Jealous Girl Surprisingly enough... or not! However, at the same time,  With that being said, there is at least  genuine instance of her showing jealousy towards . The reason for this was because Shamsiel could  However, she actually

 * Hot Witch Being a succubus, she has an array of magical powers such as flight, being able to change weapons into carrots, able to kill human men by draining their life force, warping long distances quickly, able to lift large amounts of weight, can phase through walls and the floor, and can even become invisible to anyone she wants and control who is able to see her at will.
 * Heroic Comedic Sociopath After she falls in love with Lute, she generally listens to what he says, but that doesn't mean she fully changes who she is. For instance:.

However, it becomes this when Lute gives Shamsiel a gift he'd requested directly from the King while he had been in the capital:
 * Lovable Sex Maniac She's a su-ccu-bu-s, so of course she's this.

 * Matchmaker Crush In a few of the routes, she helps Lute out with his other love interests even though she loves him too.
 * Moment Killer Almost immediately after every. single. touching moment Lute has with any other girl besides her, the second he's alone she will almost always appear from nowhere to playfully tease him about what just happened. That said, she tends to use this to lead into having her own moments with him as well. In fact, she also inverts this trope sometimes for the benefit of Lute's other love interests when she uses her magic to prevent outsiders from disturbing Lute and whoever he's currently being intimate with.
 * My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That She can read Lute like a book, and openly teases him about it, but at the same time, he knows she has feelings for him too, which she teases him about too.

 * Pep Talker Whenever Lute seems to be feeling down or unworthy of praise, Shamsiel will almost always appear to say or do something to cheer him on and up.
 * Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant Most of the time we see her, we're either too busy laughing along with (or at) her jokes and playful antics or we're distracted by her hotness. But, there are a few moments in both the anime and visual novel where she reminds us just what she as a succubus (2nd highest class of demon) is capable of doing to the average person. Especially men.

 * She's Got Legs She sure does! Her being a succubus and all, it's no surprise. She wears a pair of high-heeled, dark purple, zip-up boots with the zipper seemingly always partially opened. She also wears light purple, thigh-high stockings with garter straps connecting them to the rest of her outfit..
 * Single Target Sexuality After that first night with Lute, she claims that she will only ever do anything sexual with him ever. That's not to say she wouldn't use her powers on those who wronged or attempted to harm Lute, such as.
 * Sleep Cute In the anime,.
 * Stalker with a Crush Done playfully for the most part, but zigzagged since in some routes it is hinted that.

 * Fat Bastard He's even carrying a big lollipop to put an exclamation point on his gluttony!

 * Prince Charmless To the point he even resembles the Trope Namer.
 * Spanner in the Works Ironically, he becomes this to the other villains' plans, partially due to his stupidity, and because he's so arrogant he frustrates any attempt to have him follow an Evil Plan, something that drives to annoyance.
 * Screw the Rules, I Make Them He is ALL for people obeying every order, command, decision, law that HE comes up with...
