Rosenkreuzstilette/Characters

Considering a good deal of characterization of the Rosenkreuzstilette characters, a Character Sheet has been made. This, of course, still Needs Your Love.

Spiritia Rosenberg
""...I can't let them get away with this!""

"Voiced by: Michika Kataoka"

RKS001 Eins. The Heroine of the first game. She's a straightforward and honest young lady as well as a training instructor, treated with deep respect and admiration by even the imperial soldiers. She's naive and kind of a klutz and sinks like a brick in water, but at least her fighting instincts are strong and her moral convictions are second to none. Her RKS friends call her "Tia" for short. .

Her ability is called Seelegewehr, which gathers magical energy from the immediate vicinity and releases it in the form of round magical bullets, which become stronger the more they are charged. They can be used without restraint since they don't tap into her mana supply. She can also copy the abilities of any Magus she defeats and use them in combat,.

Tropes related with Spiritia:
"Tia: Trau, not you too!? Why!?
 * Berserk Button: Do not speak of killing in front of her, unless you want her to blast away at you with everything she's got and stop at nothing to keep you from doing it until you make her realize you weren't lying about her by defeating her.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: She's pretty much a nice girl. But when her friends start a war against the Empire to build their new world and start it all off by burning the forest, she immediately fights to stop them.
 * Calling Your Attacks: She says the names of the weapons she uses when she unleashes them after fully charging them.
 * Cartoon Bomb: When using Zornesbombe.
 * Defeat Means Friendship: In her case, defeating her friends in combat means that she is able to convince them that the rebellion is going to be less than worth it. She ends up being right
 * Determinator: She never gives up, no matter what. And it's all part of her unrivaled sense of justice gig.
 * Elegant Gothic Lolita
 * Elemental Baggage: Whenever she uses an elemental weapon outside the stage she got it from (Zornebombe, Klageharnish, Freudenstachel)
 * Hair Decorations: A cross-shaped hairclip, specifically.
 * Expy: Of Mega Man himself, right down to her personality.
 * Green Eyes
 * Hair of Gold
 * The Heart
 * Heroic BSOD: She gets this when.
 * The Heroine
 * I Am What I Am: Even if she really were, Lilli says that she'll always be herself.
 * Idiot Hair
 * Idiot Hero: Not only did she actually trust and take it upon herself to stop the war (by Swiper No Swiping method no less - though fortunately she's strong enough to fight them if it fails) without knowing that, her profile even says that she's kind of a klutz and sinks like a brick in water.
 * To be fair, Tia's friends and even Michael (the Magi leader, who starts the whole coup) also don't know that . The only one knowing this is Grolla. being "kidnapped" doesn't help.
 * If You Kill Her You Will Be Just Like Her: She's really good at this, seeing how.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Even if she, Tia is shown to be this since she condemns RKS's rebellion against the Empire and is willing to protect her loved ones without letting anybody be sacrificed, thus refusing to take part in the rebellion itself.
 * Kamehame Hadoken: Her fully-charged Seelegewehr.
 * The Klutz
 * Leitmotif: "AM Fight No. 1" by AM 3 (RKS title theme), "The Ground Which Can Shine" by Silver Chaos (RKS Opening Stage theme), "Vampire Revoluion" by Unlimited Hellest (talk theme), "Fighting Spirits" by Silver Chaos (Boss theme)
 * Light Is Good
 * Oh Crap: Quite often done when she sees that her friends are participating in the war; her expressions in seeing and realizing that are quite priceless.
 * Take this particular set of dialogues for example:

Trau: Oh? What exactly did you take me for? A pacifist? Hardly. I just don't like wasting effort. And that's exactly what you're doing right now, Tia.

Tia: That's not true...!"

"Tia: Not again! The place is under attack!"
 * Oh No Not Again: Immediately muttered by her as soon as the Imperial Training Hall starts shaking for the second time after Talos flies off with Iris in tow and Lilli follows.

"Freu: (about Tia's refusal to kill her) You possess so much power, yet you cannot do something so simple? Are your ideals truly that important to you?
 * Only Sane Girl
 * Power Dyes Your Hair: Using different weapons from the other RKS members she'd fought will change her hair color corresponding to the hair color of the original user.
 * Power Gives You Wings: She has her Silberflügel "Eins" and Silberflügel "Zwei", both which are abilities to create platforms with wings.
 * Rapunzel Hair: If she didn't wear her hair in a ponytail (her huge one still reaches significantly down her back regardless).
 * Right for The Wrong Reasons: She ends up as this.
 * Swiper No Swiping: She does this deal with her friends as well as Graf Sepperin.
 * This Cannot Be: "I can't believe it...! The Count is even using the forbidden arts!?"
 * This Is Unforgivable: She and Lilli say two variations of this trope to.
 * Thou Shalt Not Kill: She at one point after beating Grolla in the main game after already having defeated Sichte before her, states that she never wanted to kill her in the first place.
 * Then again, she spends her time not killing any of her colleagues after defeating them anyway.

Tia: This has nothing to do with ideals, Freu. I just want to protect the people from RKS as much as I want to protect the people of RKS, that's all..."

": I think I might just start believing in fate now. Ahhh, the feeling of hating another with every fiber of your being... It's such an amazing rush...! Oh, I'm so anxious to rip you apart! What about you? You have the power of the world's finest magician coursing through your veins. How does it feel? Exhilarating? Intoxicating? Exuberant? Or perhaps such a puny vessel can't fully comprehend the magnificence of it all?
 * Tomato in The Mirror:


 * So there!


 * Thanks, . I don't really know if I posess Rosenkreuz's spirit... Or if I'm his other incarnation or whatnot... But none of that matters when it comes to magic. Freu... Zorne... Trau... Luste... Grolla... Sichte... Liebea... Schwer... and Lilli... It's because they support me that I have the will to fight. They're the source of my power. That much, I know for sure!"

"Lilli: "What's wrong with her?"
 * Turns Red: Interestingly, when using Grolla's weapon, Grollschwert.
 * Worthy Opponent:.
 * You Have Got to Be Kidding Me: She says this after Luste, raring to play with her, says, "Game start! I go first!"
 * You're Insane: She says this to.

Spiritia: "Iris, have you lost your mind!?""

Lilli
""I got it, Tia! Leave it to me!""

"Voiced by: Alice Ichitsuki"

Tia's little green Fairy Companion. Lilli's a curious and inquisitive fairy who's interested in learning about humans, Magi, and the outside world. Kind of a mischief maker, she'll also pout whenever things don't go her way. As a great friend to Tia herself, she can always be counted on in times of need.

Finding the Black Forest's Treasure in Trauare's stage allows Tia to use Lilli to attack.

Tropes related with Lilli:

 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Catch Phrase: She says "Hunya!" so often that it's practically her catchphrase.

 * You Gotta Have Green Hair

Freudia Neuwahl
""I have that which I must protect... even from the hands of God!""

"Voiced by: Sou Raika"

RKS002 Zwei. Close friend of Tia in RKS, despite her dislike for being close to others. A lone wolf by nature, she's cool and collected and she prefers to work alone and is capable of getting things done without anyone's assistance thanks to her many talents. Her friends call her "Freu" for short. In the sequel, she's The Heroine.

Her ability is called Freudenstachel, which allows her to gather water vapor and unleash it frozen into icicles, which become sharper in a colder area. She can also implement the abilities of her friends into learnable abilities, three of which she uses in her boss battle.

Tropes related with Freudia:
"Freudia: "I'm sorry, Tia...""
 * An Ice Person
 * Anti-Heroine: Type 2 - She dislikes being close to others besides Tia.
 * Apologetic Attacker: Even though she's pefectly willing to beat Spiritia down, that doesn't mean she enjoys it.

"Freudia: I'll lay you to rest in a cool bed of ice."
 * Big Damn Heroes:
 * Bullet Time: Her Weißteufel that she acquires from Sichte.
 * Calling Your Attacks: In Freudenstachel, she calls out the names of both her signature Freudenstachel attack and her learnable abilities.

 * Doppelganger Attack: Her Freudenzwinger.
 * Hair Decorations: Her big red hair ribbon, which in the sequel can change color depending on the ability she chooses.
 * Expy: To Roll (considering her hairstyle, hair decs and having the same number in their own lines) and Proto Man (considering her personality and her Big Damn Heroes moment above).

 * Fuuma Shuriken: Her Frostklinge ability, which she learns from Dolis.
 * Good Is Not Nice: She prefers not to be close to others despite her strong relationship with Tia.
 * Heroic Albino
 * Heroic Sacrifice: She makes one . At least the sacrifice isn't fatal.
 * Idiot Hair: Though just like Lilli, she's clearly not an idiot.

 * Kuudere: Cold in the outside and prefers being alone. Warm in the inside, especially when Tia is involved.
 * The Lancer: She's Spiritia's greatest rival and closest friend in RKS.

 * More Dakka: Her main weapon, Freudenstachel, is the only one which can't be charged by Tia when she acquires it - instead, holding the button will make it rapidfire. It also works similarly in the sequel.
 * Only Sane Girl: In Freudenstachel.
 * Opera Gloves
 * Power Floats: She has an ability to levitate in the air.
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Red Eyes Take Warning: Subverted - Even though she does have red eyes, she's actually a nice person who happens to be duty-bound on this war.

 * White Haired Pretty Girl

Zorne Sepperin
""Don't think I'll go easy on you if you get in Father's way!""

"Voiced by: Ayane Suzumura"

RKS003 Drei. A short-tempered, impulsive, and moody young wannabe daddy's girl who's quite a pyromaniac and a terrible cook with cooking skills nothing short of disastrous, and she doesn't even know the meaning of the word "restraint". She looks up to Graf Sepperin a lot for saving her life once, and, despite the absence of blood ties, regards him as her real father. And she takes high pride of it. Not to mention, she also refuses to get along with Iris.

Her ability is called Zornesbombe, which allows her to create bombs that explode in a cross-like fashion and can demolish brick walls.

Tropes related with Zorne:
"Zorne: Tia, Father might like you because you're strong... but I'll show you all that I'm the most useful to him!
 * Berserk Button: She'll go berserk on anyone who calls her a Baka, messes with Father, or even "brainwashes" her friend Trau.
 * The Big Girl: Relative to her position in RKS.
 * Big Shut Up: If already having defeated Trau, she would tell Tia, "Shut up *shut up* SHUT UP!!" when Tia desperately tried to talk her into calming down and listening to her.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Butt Monkey: In the first game.
 * Cartoon Bomb: Her Zornesbombe.
 * Combination Attack: With Trau in Freudenstachel.
 * Cry Cute: Gets some tears in her eyes when she's humiliated... in a cute way.
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Expy: If she isn't a Bomberman expy she was at least very heavily inspired by the series.
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Girlish Pigtails
 * Green Eyed Monster: In the first game, some parts of her pre-boss dialogue suggest that she's violently jealous towards Tia because her stepfather liked her for being strong. Zorne wanted to show everybody that she could be the most useful to her adoptive father himself. She blew it, of course.
 * Happily Adopted: By Graf Sepperin.
 * I'll Kill You *I'll kill you* I'LL KILL YOU!!: One of her quotes when she Turns Red.
 * Leitmotif: "SHINING MAN" by Maru no IE (RKS stage theme), "Sinner" by Unlimited Hellest (Talk theme), "Eruption Trigger" by Sound Prison (RKSF stage theme)
 * Lethal Chef: According to her profile, she's a REALLY terrible cook.
 * Mad Bomber
 * Mood Whiplash: She gets bonus points for this as she easily has "Sinner" by Unlimited Hellest as one of the darkest talk themes in the franchise. There's a reason why said talk theme is Darker and Edgier than her stage theme in the original game, "SHINING MAN" by AM 3, after all.
 * Nonstandard Game Over: She urges you to "Hurry Up!" for a reason.
 * Power Fist: She wears an oversized version of the gauntlet like the one worn by the title character in the Prince of Persia remake.
 * A fan-made version of events suggests that this gauntlet a prosthetic arm to make up for the one she lost during an accident in her youth, making it a Disability Superpower. Pretty Badass, when you think about it.
 * Rapunzel Hair: Would likely, if she didn't wear her hair in ponytails.
 * Red Oni: To Trau's blue.
 * Say My Name: (defeat quote) "Oto-samaaaaaaaaa!" ("Fatheeeeerrrrrrrr!")
 * Tempting Fate: She does this before her boss battle.

Zorne: (after getting bested by Tia) Ugh... does this mean I'm completely useless!?"

"Zorne: I have faith in Father! And I will NOT lose to you!
 * Alternatively:

Zorne: (after getting bested by Tia) Ugh... Why can't I do anything when it really counts!?"

"Zorne: "I... I know what you did to Father... if you think everything will turn out alright if you just supress her power you're wrong...""
 * This Is Unforgivable: She has this as one of her intro quotes if her friend Trauare has already been defeated, and also says another variation of it to Grolla if she has already defeated Trau.
 * Tomboy: To Trau's Girly Girl:
 * Took a Level In Badass: She's significantly tougher in Freudenstachel than in the first game.
 * Tsundere: She's more exceptionally violent than other examples.
 * Violence Is the Only Option: She doesn't even understand the meaning of "restraint" anyway. Only if she proves to be a Butt Monkey by getting humiliated both physically and emotionally does she tend to listen to reason. Poor thing.
 * You Killed My Father: In the Doujinshi Tearis (a.k.a. Rosenkreuzstilette After-Story) created by Kiora, she blames Iris for making her suffer by killing her father whom she desperately yearned for to accept her as his real daughter and vows to eliminate her.

Trauare Wrede
""You're better off forgetting what you can't change. Sorry, but this is the end of the line for you!""

"Voiced by: Yuri Nashimoto"

RKS004 Vier. She's a composed and pragmatic young lady capable of concealing her immature tendencies, making a point of what needs to be done and finishing whatever's asked of her, but carries a disinterested look on her face the whole time. She's even tougher to control than her friend Zorne when she's angry - she's quite vindictive and will stop at nothing to exact revenge once she's angry, so you wouldn't like her when she is so. She loves to swim and will often invite Zorne to join her at a nearby ravine in her spare time. Her friends call her "Trau" for short and she uses the Chaos Spear Leviathan as her weapon of choice.

Her ability is Klageharnisch, which generates miniature tornadoes of water and can launch them in different directions at once.

Tropes related with Trauare:
"Trauare: It looks like Zorne was no match for you. I'll have to take this seriously, then."
 * Berserk Button: Her Berserk Button will be pressed if her friend Zorne has been defeated. She even combines it with a Let's Get Dangerous.
 * The Big Girl: Only she's much more composed than her close friend.
 * Blade On a Stick: Her Chaos Spear, Leviathan.
 * Blow You Away: She can fly and summon mini-tornados, much like a certain undefeatable boss.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Blue Oni: To Zorne's red.
 * Combination Attack: With Zorne in Freudenstachel.
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Doppelganger Attack: When she charges after Turning Red, she can produce transparent holographic copies of herself generated from Leviathan that charge seconds after she does so.
 * Hair Decorations: Her seashell hair clip that she wears on her blue hair, which is shaped similarly to Leviathan's helmet.
 * Expy: She could very well be a retroactive expy of Splash Woman. Though both could be expies of Leviathan.
 * Also, her spear is named after Leviathan herself.
 * Girly Girl: To Zorne's Tomboy.
 * Humans Are Bastards: This is what she thought at first when she took part in RKS' rebellion. She eventually changed her mind when Tia (and Grolla) bested her.
 * Kill It With Water
 * Leitmotif: "28" by AM 3 (RKS stage theme), "Inferiority" by Unlimited Hellest (Talk theme)
 * Leotard of Power
 * Let's Get Dangerous: She almost never takes things seriously... unless when her friend Zorne is defeated, causing her Berserk Button to be pressed.


 * Mood Whiplash: In the first game, her talk theme is Darker and Edgier than her stage theme.
 * Power Floats: She can levitate in the air a little above the ground in the first game, even if she isn't underwater.
 * Unstoppable Rage: When her Berserk Button gets pressed and she shows her true competence.
 * Walking Swimsuit Scene: In the first game.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Luste Teuber
""Let's play Cops n' Robbers! Tia, you're the bad guy!""

"Voiced by: Hazumi Homura"

RKS005 Funf. RKS's resident Cloudcuckoolander. A Cute Demon Girl who's cheerful, simple-minded and optimistic and always lives in the present. She's easygoing and treats everything like a game, and pictures herself as a hero of justice. She's so attached to Tia that she often plays games with her, with her as the "bad guy". She's nonetheless self-centered and loves tomato juice.

Her ability is Lustatem, which is capable of launching pressurized blades of wind through the air in any direction. She can even launch even bigger ones, especially when she Turns Red.

Tropes related with Luste:

 * Age Inappropriate Dress
 * Ax Crazy: According to her profile, she likes smashing everything in sight due to treating everything as a game despite believing herself to be a hero of justice, which gives her an emphasis on CRAZY.
 * Baka
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Cheerful Child
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Cute Demon Girl
 * Cute Little Fangs: Can be seen if you squint hard enough.
 * Fiery Redhead: Inverted, as she's laid-back and easygoing rather than short-tempered, hot-blooded and hot-headed.
 * Genki Girl
 * Green Eyes
 * Hoist By Her Own Petard:
 * Idiot Hero: "Ah! It takes one to know one!"
 * Kid Appeal Character
 * Leitmotif: "26" by AM 3 (RKS stage theme), "11" by AM 3 (Talk theme)
 * Pettanko
 * Perky Goth: She wears all black and has bat wings coming out of her shoulder sleeves, yet is the least concerned person in the RKS. Not that there's much black to her dress anyway.... Bonus points for being a Token Mini Moe as well.
 * Razor Wind: Again, her Lustatem. See Laser Blade above.
 * Stripperiffic: Nothing more needs to be said here.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Tomato juice, of course.
 * Wasn't That Fun: "Awww... I can't beat you after all... But that was still fun!"
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Grolla Seyfarth
""There is nothing my blade cannot cut.""

"Voiced by: Junca Amamoto"

RKS006 Sechs. Born with the spirit of a warrior, she's calm, collected, and every bit as strict with her colleagues as she is with herself. She's willing to protect them at any cost - but should her Berserk Button be pushed in any way, she'll stop at nothing to exact revenge. A gifted swords(wo)man, she's feared and respected by many, and is the granddaughter of Raimund Seyfarth, better known as the legendary Thanatos. She prefers to let her blade do the talking over sharing her feelings with others and is a subordinate and bodyguard of Sichte's speaking on a feudal tongue. She may not look like it, but she's actually damn proud of her job. She's The Heroine of her own side-game, Rosenkreuzstilette Grollschwert.

Her ability is Grollschwert, which utilizes the power of her weapon, the Demon Sword of the same name. Using it as a conduit, she can unleash her inner power in the form of multidirectional slashes. Grollschwert's blade becomes sharper and gets farther reach the closer its user is to death.

Tropes related with Grolla:
"Grolla: "...That does it. You have just signed your own death warrant.""
 * Ancestral Weapon: Her Demon Sword Grollschwert, which has been passed down by the Seyfarth clan for generations.
 * Another Side Another Story: Completing the game will give you the code to play as her in her own special sidestory, Rosenkreuzstilette Grollschwert.
 * Anti-Heroine: Type 3. One who prefers to let her sword do the talking. She's the kind of heroine who would rather stain her own hands and blade with blood than give bad people like another chance; almost no one who hits her Berserk Button is wary of pissing her off.
 * Badass Boast: "Master, I am still inexperienced. Before you left us, you told me that the Demon Sword Grollschwert would clear a path for me. Now you are no longer with us... still, I have this sword. As long as I wield it, I shall press onward! I WILL find you, !"
 * Also, to Graf Sepperin: "Then I shall become a demon slayer and crush you where you stand!"
 * Badass Normal: She appears to have less obvious magical abilities but is capable of fighting on par with any of the other Magi in RKS. It really depends on whether her dashes qualify as Super Speed or not.
 * Her sword swings may also qualify for Sword Beam or Full Contact Magic.
 * Berserk Button: Pretty much anything ranging from traitors to idiots to Humiliation Congas to anyone who messes with Lady Sichte to anyone who disrupts her grandfather's peaceful slumber can press Grolla's Berserk Button. Pull any of these off on her and you in her words have just signed your own death warrant, and therefore she'll stop at nothing to either bathe Grollschwert's blade in your blood or simply give you some discipline by beating you down. That's when you know that you're in BIG trouble.

"Grolla: "...You plan on running me down? Show me your worst! There is nothing my blade cannot cut!""
 * The Big Girl: Her strength is a significant asset to RKS.
 * Blood Knight: She qualifies because she prefers to fight first and ask questions later.

"Luste: Hey, it's Grolla! What're you doing here?
 * Breast Plate
 * Bring It: She calls out to a certain Advancing Wall of Doom with this before beginning a fight against it after it chases her to the actual boss arena.
 * Calling Your Attacks: She shouts "Grollschwert!" when you input the code for Rosenkreuzstilette Grollschwert.
 * And again whenever she uses one of the attacks she gains when she Turns Red in Freudenstachel.
 * The Comically Serious: Even though she's the kind of girl who's every bit as strict with her colleagues as she is with herself, there are some times that she just can't get out of a funny situation. Like this part, for example:

Grolla: That doesn't matter. Stop what you're doing.

Luste: No way! I wanna play some more!

Grolla: ...Ugh. I hate dealing with idiots.

Luste: Ah! It takes one to know one!

Grolla: It seems you could use some discipline...!"

"Zeppy: Kwui-kwui...
 * And another example:

Schwer-Muta: ...Scary.

Grolla: (As usual, she makes no sense.)"

"Grolla: (to ) "...You bitch.""
 * Cool Sword: In previews for the sequel, Freudenstachel, she's acquired one of these.
 * One.
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Darker and Edgier: Her Freudenstachel stage. With several scenes of Nightmare Fuel, especially the bloody rainstorm near the end, her Freudenstachel stage is considered darker than her stage in the original game.
 * Dark Is Not Evil: As she gets two stages in the form of a graveyard and a dungeon with bones and blood and even a bloody rainstorm, was taught by a legendary war hero who was brought Back From the Dead as The Grim Reaper and is her grandfather, and is willing to protect her colleagues at any cost.
 * Defeat Means Friendship:.
 * Did You Actually Believe: "You think I would fall for the same trick twice!?"
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu: !
 * Expy: Of Zero, right down to the play style.
 * Flat What: She delivers this when pulls off a Wounded Gazelle Gambit on her by pretending she's an innocent girl being threatened when Sichte walks in.
 * Fragile Speedster: In Grollschwert mode. Her dashing and wall jumping abilities break the stages in ways Tia never can, but she can't take a hit for her life. May or may not also count as Glass Cannon. Ironic, as she's the only character who wears an armor.
 * Good Is Not Nice: In the side-game Rosenkreuzstilette Grollschwert, she'll fight against her own colleagues just to get them out of her way.
 * Also, the fact that she would rather fight than listen to reason more than qualifies her for this trope.
 * Humiliation Conga: She gets a rather embarrassing humiliation courtesy of . Tough break, descendant of Seyfarth!
 * Lady of War
 * Leitmotif: "Dark Purple Moonlight" by Sky God Corridor (RKS stage/RKS Grollschwert title theme), "Dark Purple Moon ~ Dance of the Moon ~Rebirth~" by Sky God Corridor (Talk theme (shared with her grandfather)), "Acid Rain" by Sound Prison (RKSF stage theme)
 * Leotard of Power
 * Magic Knight
 * Only Sane Girl: In Grollschwert.
 * Perpetual Frowner
 * Prepare to Die: "Traitorous dog! Your life ends here!"
 * Purple Eyes
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * The Reason You Suck Speech: She delivers this to Graf Sepperin in Grollschwert because she pities him for.
 * Red Eyes Take Warning: She had these in one of the screenshots from the Freudenstachel April Fool's site. These were absent in the trial versions as well as the upcoming full game.
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge: She goes on this after . She even combines this with Unstoppable Rage.
 * Of course, this is inverted, as she doesn't kill any of her colleagues. Then she lays Raimund back to rest. Infuriated and deeply hurt afterwards, she vows to make Graf Sepperin pay for disrupting Raimund's peaceful slumber and nearly kills him. She would've finished him off.
 * Say My Name: (Freudenstachel defeat quote) "Shishooooooooo!" ("Masteeeeeerrrrrrr!")
 * Silence You Fool: She says this when Tia says that she's not siding with the Empire when she confronts her at the end of her stage in the main game.
 * Similarly, when she confronts Graf Sepperin, she says this to him and reminds him to know that "the price for toying with the souls of the dead is high", due to having had to slay her undead grandfather and being angered and saddened by doing so.
 * Sir Swearsalot: She in Rosenkreuzstilette Grollschwert is, surprisingly, quite fond of profanity, despite her speech being on a feudal tongue.

"Grolla: "Michael Zeppelin... Your reasons mean nothing to me. There will be no mercy. You shall pay for this with your life.""
 * Smug Super: When fighting the Cross Wall, she tells it to show her its worst as she says there's nothing her blade can't cut, and when Tia uses up her last life against her as a boss, she gets a tendency to mock her failed attempts against her.
 * The Stoic
 * Sword Plant: One of her new moves in Freudenstachel.
 * Tall Dark and Bishoujo
 * This Cannot Be: "...!? This chilling sensation... it can't be... Am I, a Seyfarth, afraid of a mere child!?"
 * This Is Unforgivable: She's fond of this trope, as after laying her undead grandfather and master Raimund back to eternal rest, she declares that she would show no mercy and make his certain summoner pay for disrupting his peaceful slumber with his life.

"Grolla: I have stated my reasons. I will not repeat myself.
 * Tomboy: A tomboyish knight at that.
 * Turns Red: Especially as a player character in Grollschwert.
 * Unstoppable Rage: She'll stop at nothing to get revenge on anyone who presses her Berserk Button in any way.
 * Violence Is the Only Option: When someone hits her Berserk Button, violence really is her only option!
 * Well Done Daughter Girl: Trau would compliment her for being a pretty tough swords(wo)man after being bested by her. If Zorne has already been defeated, she even admits that she's jealous.
 * Worthy Opponent: She puts up a fair fight in Grollschwert when Tia tries to stop her from out of belief that she was a sweetheart. And after Grolla bests her, she gives her pieces of advice that she can heed or cast aside however she likes: "Beware of . If you don't, you'll pay a high price."
 * You Bastard: She calls Sir Raimund a bastard when she mistakes him for an impostor.
 * You Gotta Have Purple Hair
 * You Have to Believe Me: She knows that . She tells her colleagues the truth, but they don't believe her. When the convincing fails, she goes into "Good Is Not Nice" mode and beats them up just to get them out of her way.

Freu: At the moment, you cannot be trusted.

Grolla: And yet the truth remains unchanged...

Freu: We might as well cease this debate. Words shall get us nowhere.

Grolla: My thoughts from the very beginning. If my words cannot persuade you, perhaps my blade can sway you instead!"

"Grolla: "Any last words, Devil?""
 * You Monster: She calls Graf Sepperin a demon or a devil (both of which come close to monster) because he meddled with the dark arts to disrupt her grandfather's peaceful slumber.

"Grolla: "What was that...!?, what is the meaning of this!?"
 * You're Insane: She says such a phrase to after witnessing her murder of a priest and overhearing her plans to.


 * "...! How careless of me. I wasn't expecting an audience so soon."

Grolla: "What do you think you're doing!?, have you gone mad!?""

Sichte Meister
""Your future has already been decided. I am merely clearing the way for you.""

"Voiced by: Kotori Kisaki"

RKS007 Sieben. The other Team Mom to RKS, Sichte is a level-headed and mature decision maker with keen judgement who is the active leader of the RKS Strike Force. She often frets about her troubled childhood since she was born and raised in the slums, thus having trouble with having faith in those older than her. Ruthless in enemy faces, she's kind and caring to others. She's Grolla's close friend and mistress.

Her ability is Die Geplante Zukunft, which allows her to speed up, slow down, or even stop time, and unleash magical energy in the form of small green emerald shards.

Tropes related with Sichte:

 * Ambiguously Brown
 * Bare Your Midriff: In Freudenstachel, due to Clothing Damage to the lower half of her shirt that she somehow got sometime prior to the events of said game.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Sichte's generally kind and caring, you just don't want to mess with her unless you want a knife in the gut from her.
 * Death From Above: One of her attacks when she Turns Red has her come down with a giant brick block from above after resuming time (which makes it another subtle resemblance to Dio below).
 * Expy: Of Dio Brando, Sakuya Izayoi or even Flash Man from Mega Man 2.
 * Eyes of Gold
 * Girly Girl: To Grolla's Tomboy.
 * Knife Nut: See Expy example above.
 * Leitmotif: "CRASH MAN" by Extra Ocean (RKS stage theme), "Night Fire" by Unlimited Hellest (Talk theme), "The Ancient Cry" by Wingless Seraph (RKSF stage theme)
 * Ms. Fanservice: Moreso in the second game. She has huge breasts while wearing a low-cut tube top in addition to Bare Your Midriff above.
 * Not So Stoic: She uses this expression whenever she's worried about Grolla after she retreats when she tries to order her to lower her weapon and not hurt and when she shows sadness when Grolla uses up her last life against her and again when the two bid farewells to one another after Grolla defeats her.
 * Shout Out: Her stage, power, and boss fight are all a shout out to Dio Brando form Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure; even your death screen for that stage is drawn in the style of the manga, with Tia saying Jotaro's catchphrase.
 * Her emerald shard attacks are also a Shout Out to Noriaki Kakyoin's Emerald Splash attack from the same anime.
 * The Stoic: Except during some events where she shows a sad / worried expression.
 * Team Mom
 * Time Stands Still: Again, see the Expy example.
 * Willfully Weak: In Freudenstachel.
 * You Gotta Have Green Hair

Liebea Palesch
""It's... it's all over... everything... Brother, keep me safe...!""

"Voiced by: Eruru Takeda"

RKS008 Acht. A peaceful, compassionate young girl who adores flowers, she's currently under the care of her brother Karl. She's able to manipulate the weather, but avoids using her powers as much as possible because she has trouble controlling them. Being a pacifist, she hates violence and the notion of fighting. She's always willing to do anything for Karl's sake because she loves him THAT much.

Her ability is Liebessturm, which lowers her proximity's atmospheric pressure before unleashing a heavy downpour of rain. It takes time to charge it, but the results can be devastating.

Tropes related with Liebea:
"Liebea: "Forgive me, Miss Tia...""
 * Apologetic Attacker: She has shades of this.


 * Beware the Nice Ones: She's generally a kind, innocent girl, but if you hurt her feelings in any way, she won't stop crying until she beats you down completely, either by rain, wind, or any other kind of weather manipulation.
 * Blow You Away: Her EX Attack will also blow you off the stage if you're not careful.
 * And it's turned Up to Eleven in her Freudenstachel incarnation.
 * Blue Eyes
 * The Chick
 * Cry Cute
 * Detached Sleeves: Of course.
 * Girl in The Tower: In the first game.
 * Innocent Flower Girl: She loves flowers and is sweet and innocent despite her incapability of controlling her powers, after all.
 * Leitmotif: "30" by AM 3 (RKS stage theme), "dear" by Unlimited Hellest (Talk theme)
 * Making a Splash
 * Pettanko
 * Power Incontinence: When she's upset.
 * Rapunzel Hair
 * Rose Haired Girl
 * Technical Pacifist: She hates violence but has trouble controlling her powers.
 * When She Smiles: Telling from some official artwork as well as some of her Freudenstachel mugshots, Liebea actually gets happy and even smiling expressions on rare occasions.
 * Willfully Weak: In the first game.

Schwer-Muta Casasola Merkle
""The bonds that tie people together... are just an illusion...!""

"Voiced by: Alice Ichitsuki"

RKS009 Neun. Schwer's a reclusive young girl who dislikes interacting with others, having been forced to subside in a barren, bestial environment before being placed in RKS's care. Because of this trauma that burdens her to this day, she's generally suspicious of everyone she meets. She feels that her only friend is her pet squid Zeppy.

Her ability is Geisterwand, which generates a circle of mace/cross-like objects around her, forming a barrier. While it's primarily a defensive ability, it can also be used for offensive purposes.

Tropes related with Schwer-Muta:
"Schwer-Muta: "The bonds that tie people together... are just an illusion...!""
 * Animal Motifs: Her outfit seems to resemble either a cat or a wolf (see the Everythings Worse With Wolves trope below).
 * Barrier Warrior: Her weapon is a wall of maces.
 * Or daggers. Or crosses. It's hard to tell.
 * They do look like maces though. Whatever they are, it sure looks spin - tastic.
 * Catch Phrase: Zeppy's "Kwui-kwui", which is pretty much the only thing he ever says. Like, ALL THE TIME.
 * Creepy Child: Mostly because of her anti-social nature.


 * Crowning Level of Awesome: Her stage is either this or a Scrappy Level. Your Mileage May Vary, natch.
 * The Eeyore: She's always so depressed plus she often uses a low voice and always a soft voice.
 * Not to mention she's very shy.
 * Interesting to note is that she often attacks anyone who comes near out of distrust towards everyone she comes across. In the first game, she attacked like that because everybody missed her birthday. As Tia puts it, "We've all been pretty busy... Everything's been hectic lately."
 * Everythings Squishier With Cephalopods: Her squid sidekick, Zeppy.
 * Everythings Worse With Wolves: Her costume looks just like a wolf. Or it could be a cat suit.
 * It could be obvious because of the large, fluffy tail.
 * Eyes of Gold
 * Hikikomori
 * The Kid With the Remote Control: Inverted, as it's Zeppy the squid who's in control of not only what it does, but also sometimes Schwer's actions as well. Zeppy is not only Schwer's pet and closest friend, he's also able to show signs of expression as a way of showing expression itself whenever Schwer doesn't. Oh, and he spits ink to help her in combat.
 * Leitmotif: "33" by AM 3 (RKS stage theme), "Little Mischief" by Ramine (Talk theme)
 * Little Miss Snarker
 * Mood Whiplash: Opposite of Zorne and Trau. Her talk theme is actually Lighter and Softer than her stage theme.
 * Offscreen Start Bonus: More like Offscreen Start Requirement in her stage..
 * Painting the Fourth Wall: If her health goes below 50&, Zeppy starts spitting out ink that slowly covers the screen.
 * Peek a Bangs
 * Pettanko
 * The Quiet One: She's pretty silent most of the time. Until Zeppy breaks the silence, that is. Even so, Schwer is still pretty quiet when she speaks.
 * Raven Hair Ivory Skin
 * Shout Out: Upon defeat, she says "Uso da...!", which means "Liar...!" in Japanese. This was a phrase often said by Rena in Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni when she got angry in response to a perceived lie, only Schwer's "Uso da" was much cuter and quieter and Rena's was much louder and angrier.
 * The Unintelligible: As Grolla would say, "As usual, she makes no sense."

Karl Palesch
Liebea's older brother. He's a member of the RKS intelligence division who places Liebea under his care. He saw through and attempted to dispose of her but she arranged for him to be imprisoned because He Knows Too Much. And just when nothing else could possibly go wrong, Graf Sepperin lied to Liebea about him being held captive by the Empire. Thankfully, he was freed by Freu when she sorted out all the problems left behind by. He was "planned" to be a playable character in Freudenstachel's side-game in a Castlevania-like fashion according to [erka:es]'s 2011 April Fool's joke.

Tropes related with Karl:

 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Bishounen
 * Blue Eyes
 * Expy: He's depicted as an expy of Simon Belmont of Castlevania fame on the [erka:es] blog, and he would've been playable if not for the 2011 April Fool's joke.
 * He Knows Too Much: Hence, why had him imprisoned.
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Tall Dark and Handsome
 * The Unseen: In the first game.
 * Vampire Hunter: he is "planned" to play similarly to most of the heroes of Castlevania fame, plus his side-game is planned to be a Castlevania clone as well.
 * Whip It Good

""MY NAME IS MEANINGLESS. NOW I, THANATOS, SHALL ENSURE THE EQUALITY OF YOUR DEATH.""

"Voiced by: Aigon"

Grolla's deceased grandfather and mentor who died four years prior to the story of the first game. He's the legendary wielder of the Demon Sword Grollschwert and the Devil Scythe Grassense - there's not a single man who doesn't know his name. He's strict and stubborn and shows an unforgiving nature, and never gives up on his job even if dishonor may befall his title. He's willing to kill anyone he feels like killing but follows a code of honor. Being a Blood Knight, he craves battle alone. He was brought Back From the Dead by Graf Sepperin to guard his castle bridge.

Tropes related with Raimund:

 * Expy: Of Death from Castlevania.

Graf Michael Sepperin
""In any event, I told no lies. Creating a world for Magi and ensuring my daughter's safety are one and the same.""

"Voiced by: Aigon"

The (former) boss of RKS and Iris' dad. An imperial nobleman, he's an authority on magic research and a powerful Magus. He's looked up to like a father to all the other RKS members, especially his adopted daughter Zorne, who, despite the lack of blood ties, even regards him as her real father for saving her life once. He made a Deal With the Devil and launched a coup against the Empire to protect Iris and help the Magi build a world just for them, and was ultimately Killed Off for Real in the end.

Tropes related with Graf Sepperin:
"Graf Sepperin: It seems the Church has learned of Iris and her gifts through Karl. But I was able to pre-empt their plans. To protect Iris, I launched a coup against the Empire. That was the only option available with our current strength. With a mere moment of preparation, I organized our attack."
 * Affably Evil
 * Anti Villain: Type 3.
 * Big Bad:
 * Dark Is Not Evil: He made a Deal With the Devil and therefore became a vampire. Despite that, he cares for his own fellow magi very much, and he did so just to build a world where magi can live in peace and ensure the safety of his daughter Iris,.
 * Deal With the Devil: JUST BECAUSE he cares for his fellow magi THAT MUCH.
 * Expy: Of Dracula from Rondo of Blood.
 * He even shouts "Grant me power...!" before going One Winged Angel.
 * Not to mention, he also sometimes shouts "I'm the Devil...!" instead before doing so, similarly to Dr. Weil from Mega Man Zero. Interestingly, of course, unlike Dr. Weil, Sepperin himself is not a Complete Monster whatsoever.
 * Evil Sounds Deep: Again, inverted, as he's not really evil, just a nice guy who made a Deal With the Devil.
 * Fatal Flaw: He loved his biological daughter so much ...
 * Glowing Eyes of Doom: When he's charging as bats and transforming and in his demon form.
 * Killed Off for Real: He gets obliterated into a burst of flames.
 * Leitmotif: "Party of Ghost" by God Melospi (Sepperin Stage 4 theme), "Cathedral2nd" by in the Ruins of Memories (Talk theme), "Fighting Eternally" by Unlimited Hellest (Boss theme)
 * Necromancer: In making a pact with the devil, he got the ability to use the forbidden arts, allowing him to command monsters and demons, and even allowing him the necrotic ability to raise and control the dead. He even brought Sir Raimund Back From the Dead as a Grim Reaper-like wraith. Whoa.
 * Noble Demon
 * Obliviously Evil: Launching a coup against the Empire to build a new world for Magi and ensure his daughter's safety lands him with the dubious honor of being a Well Intentioned Extremist. Of course, he had no idea that what he was doing was wrong, but Tia knew so...
 * One Winged Angel: His demon form.
 * Our Vampires Are Different: See Expy above.
 * Playing With Fire
 * Red Eyes Take Warning
 * Secret Keeper: He states that he shared Iris' secret with only the select few he felt he could trust. He even mentions this:

"Sepperin: Empty platitudes. If you are so certain of yourself, then show me the true extent of your power! (gets beaten by Tia) Gah... I had not expected such an outcome...!"
 * Tall Dark and Handsome
 * Team Dad: To all of RKS. His job was probably taken by Tia for him after.
 * Tempting Fate: He does a similar thing to his stepdaughter before his own boss battle.
 * Tempting Fate: He does a similar thing to his stepdaughter before his own boss battle.


 * White Haired Pretty Boy

Rosenkreuz
The legendary Magus who dedicated his life to the Magi and helped them each live lives free of fear and persecution.

Tropes related with Rosenkreuz:

 * Guile Hero: Legend has it that he landed himself in this spot due to a nice gambit planned out to have the Empire accept Magi as its subordinates by SACRIFICING his own life to do so. How cool is that?
 * The Hero Dies: He became this after pulling off his own Heroic Sacrifice to have his final wish for Magi to be allowed to live alongside humans as soldiers of the Empire granted.
 * Heroic Sacrifice: This is the reason why he was Badass: At the end of the war, he offered up his life to have the Empire accept Magi as part of its military. That made them what they are today: Rosenkreuzstilette, the "Blades of the Rose Cross".
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness
 * Invincible Hero: At least until he died after pulling off his Heroic Sacrifice to have the Magi accepted as soldiers of the Empire. According to Graf Sepperin, the Church, whom the Empire's reins of power lay within, feared him because he was the most powerful Magus in history.

 * The Obi Wan: To the Magi, including eight disciples of his, before his Heroic Sacrifice.

She's calm in the heat of battle as well as a formidable warrior, but can also sometimes be careless and make mistakes at crucial times. She's very intelligent but knows very little about the outside world, and can also easily become jealous. She's incredibly strong despite her age and carries a huge shuriken-like boomerang called Fesselspirale around with her all by herself.

 * Shout Out: Surprisingly, she might be one to Ky Kiske of Guilty Gear.
 * She and her organization even share the same symbol with him and his Sacred Order of Holy Knights! Duh!

Eifer Skute
""Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.""

"Voiced by: Sou Raika"

Possibly the creepiest of the Black Cross bunch. She's always wearing heavy clothes due to chronic hypothermia, and despite her age she's actually cool-headed and mature. However, her emotions and mood can violently fluctuate, making her sometimes act out of character. For some unknown reasons, she seems to carry strong emotions towards Freu.

Her ability is Eiferstachel, which lets her manipulate the location, density, and hardness of any object around her and use them to attack. She can turn any earthly metal or flora she finds into dangerous weapons in an instant.

Tropes related with Eifer:

"Voiced by: TBA"

A former member of RKS, Schirach is a fairly mysterious woman who was reported missing a few years ago.

Being The Brute of the Black Cross, she's incredibly strong and can carry her hammer, Lichtfaust, with ease.

 * Blood Knight
 * Boobs of Steel: She loves fighting no matter whether she wins or not, plus her breasts are just as big as Sichte's.
 * Brown Eyes
 * The Brute
 * Curtains Match the Window
 * Dissonant Serenity
 * Drop the Hammer: Her hammer, which she handles easily thanks to her Lichtfaust ability.
 * Face Heel Turn: She was a former RKS member and was reported missing a few years ago. She's definitely on the side of the Black Cross now, so this definitely counts as a Face Heel Turn.

 * For the Evulz
 * Lawful Stupid
 * Meganekko
 * Psychotic Smirk
 * Slasher Smile

- Lecht Refraktia

""No one can stand up to us! We can beat anybody in no time flat!""

- Rink Refraktia

"Voiced by: Nene Ayatsuki"

Twin sisters who're always seen together, rarely apart. Lecht, the older of the two, is a very introverted Hikikomori who dislikes interacting with others but loves to read books. She wears an eyepatch because for some unknown reason she's blind in one eye. Rink, the younger of the two, is lively and outgoing and keeps her sister so foremost in her thoughts that she'll stop at nothing to remove any threat to Lecht herself.

Their shared ability is Falschegestalt, which lets them generate a magical shield that reflects special attacks.

 * Unstoppable Rage: Rink if Lecht is threatened in any way.
