Line 6: == The Main Characters == === Sister Rosette Christopher === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: [[Tomoko Kawakami]] (JP) [[~~Hillary~~Hilary Haag]] (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Rosette_profile_7312.jpg\|frame\|[[Just for Pun\|Habit-forming]].]] Line 14: * [[Action Girl]]: Manga Rosette. Rosette starts off this way in the anime, too, although she goes through [[Chickification]] as the show continues. * {{spoiler\|[[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]]:}} In the manga's final volume. {{spoiler\|Rosette dies in Chrono's arms, but is revealed to have her spirit still residing in the watch. The rest of the heroes manage to save her and bring her back to finish her fight with Aion.}} * [[Badass Normal]]: In the manga. The anime {{spoiler\|gives her holy powers}} towards the end of the series. * [[Beast and Beauty]]: With Chrono, sort of. They ''look'' like this, but she definitely doesn't match the typical personality. * [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Chrono. * [[Berserk Button]]: Don't toy with her regarding her brother, or if you're a demon, talk about killing a mortal. You will regret it. * [[Blessed ~~With~~with Suck]]: In the anime. * [[Blue Eyes]]: The innocent, "hero" variety. * [[Bob Haircut]]: Rosette had her hair cut as a bob soon after she joined the Order, although she grew it back out again. * [[Cain and Abel]]: It turns out Joshua's very loyal to Aion and doesn't ''want'' to give up his horns...so Rosette and Joshua end up on opposite sides of a war as Rosette desperately tries to get through to him. * [[The Caretaker]]: Rosette was ''almost'' this for her younger brother. Joshua was desperate to keep her from having to devote her life to him, which was part of his motivation for going with Aion. * [[Cast From Lifespan]] / [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]]: Chrono's powers draw from Rosette's lifespan. She says she probably won't live to 30. * [[Cat Smile]] * [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Rosette's antics come across this way in several scenes, although when she realizes someone is badly hurt by it she's portrayed as shocked and upset. * [[Conveniently an Orphan]]: Rosette and Joshua's parents died in a shipwreck. * [[~~Deaths~~Death's Hourglass]]: Rosette's watch. * {{spoiler\|[[Death Byby Adaptation]]}}: It happens much earlier in the anime than it does in the manga. * [[Destructive Saviour]] * [[Determinator]]: Particularly in the manga. * [[~~Distressed~~ Damsel in Distress]]: Towards the end of the anime. * [[Domestic Abuse]]: Some of Rosette's [[Tsundere]] antics towards Chrono come across as this--at one point in the manga he's even show laying in his own blood after a beating. Always [[Played for Laughs]]. * [[Don't Say Such Stupid Things]]: Rosette gives Chrono this speech in the manga, after his [[Heroic BSOD]]. Line 42: * [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]: Rosette's a tomboy, and she's portrayed as a pretty poor cook. * [[Genki Girl]] * [[The Hero]]: Her role in the [[Five -Man Band]]. (Or...well...Four Man Band.) * [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Rosette's pigtails seem to reflect her aging. As a child, she has full pigtails. As she ages, part of her hair comes down, and as an adult they vanish completely. * [[Goggles Do Nothing]]: Rosette has goggles on her forehead from the beginning all the way until when she gets her militia outfit. She uses them a grand total of one time. * [[Go Out ~~With~~with a Smile]]: Both versions. {{spoiler\|Twice}}, in the manga. * [[Handicapped Badass]] * [[The Hero Dies]]: Given the nature of her contract with Chrono, it's a [[Foregone Conclusion]] that Rosette is going to die young. When, where and how it happens, however, is an unknown, which contributes to the tension of the story. * [[Hero Insurance]]: Rosette can be pretty destructive sometimes. However, the series actually explains ''how'' she gets away with it--the Order pays for some of the damages and also has to bribe the local media not to report on their involvement with the destruction. * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]: [[~~Hillary~~Hilary Haag]] is an ADV regular, so it's possible you'll recognize her if you're a dub fan. Oh, and in the Japanese? [[Tomoko Kawakami\|She's Utena]]. * [[Home, Sweet Home]]: Manga: After her adventures, Rosette returns back to the orphanage she grew up in and becomes a caretaker there. * [[Hot -Blooded]] * [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Chrono and Rosette, when Chrono is in his true form. * [[Iconic Item]]: The pocket watch. * [[In Vino Veritas]]: When Rosette gets drunk at a dinner party, she ends up being a "forceful drunk" (as Chrono notes), while also revealing anxiety over her shortened lifespan and worry over her brother. * [[Kid ~~With~~with the Leash]]: Subverted and occasionally double subverted. Chrono usually doesn't need anyone to keep him on the straight-and-narrow. ''Usually''. * [[Knight Templar Big Brother\|Knight Templar Big Sister]]: She doesn't hesitate to attempt to chase after Aion when Joshua is taken, even though she's only twelve years old at the time. Chrono admits in the manga that the main reason he made the contract with her is that he knew she'd run off alone if he didn't. * [[Large Ham]]: "I'LL KILL YOU [[Fork Fencing\|WITH THIS SPOON]]!" * [[Lethal Chef]]: Chrono is usually the victim of her cooking. To be fair, while she was ''horrible'' as a kid, Chrono admits her cooking later in life actually isn't that bad--it just ''looks'' poisonous. * [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]] / [[Blithe Spirit]] * [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: Chrono and Rosette, particularly when it comes to housework. This tends to be exaggerated even more in fanfic. * [[The Matchmaker]]: The manga seems to imply that Rosette is matchmaking {{spoiler\|Joshua and Azmaria when they're older.}} * [[Meaningful Name]]: Rosette's last name is "Christopher" - that is, "Christ-bearer", which fits with her role as a demon fighter, but more importantly {{spoiler\|With her role as the reincarnation of Mary Magdalene.}} Line 70: * [[Nuns Are Funny]]: Particularly in the earlier volumes, when her very ''un''typical personality for a nun is [[Played for Laughs]]. * [[Nuns Are Mikos]] * [[Nun -Too -Holy]]: If you had to pick one trope to define Rosette, this would be it. * [[Official Couple]]: With Chrono, although it doesn't get truly official until near the end. * [[~~Orphans~~Orphan's Ordeal]]: At first this is averted, but in the second half of the manga she occasionally admits in inner monologue that her parents' deaths ''did'' have an effect on her--she hates sitting and waiting because she was forced to while 'the adults' worked out her family's estate, for example. * [[Phenotype Stereotype]] * [[Pinocchio Nose]]: In the "Marionette Train" arc, Chrono points out that Rosette babbles when she's lying. * [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Inverted--Rosette is hotblooded, but wears blue. Chrono is the voice of reason, but wears red. * [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Rosette is the Energetic Girl to Chrono's Savvy Guy. * [[Second Love]]: Rosette isn't the first person Chrono fell in love with. * [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Her and Chrono. * [[Spanner in ~~The~~the Works]]: To Aion's plans in the manga. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: There's actually ''official art'' that mislabels her as "Rozetto". * [[Star -Crossed Lovers]]: Rosette and Chrono just can't get a true "normal" romance, no matter how much either of them want it. * [[Tsundere]] * [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Chrono and Rosette. There's a reason she coins the term "Super Noogie". Line 89: === Chrono === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: [[Akira Ishida]] (JP), [[Greg Ayres]] (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Chrono_profile_full_9704.jpg\|frame\|2-for-1!]] Line 110: * [[Cast From Lifespan]]: Chrono's powers draw from Rosette's lifespan. * [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Chrono constantly dodges talking about his past with Aion, leaving the rest of the group to wonder what the hell is going on between the two of them. * [[Close -Call Haircut]]: He loses his braid in a fight near the end of the manga. * [[Cross -Dressing Voices]]: Averted! Both [[Akira Ishida]] and [[Greg Ayres]] can pull off a young enough voice to make it work. He ''does'' seem to be played by a woman in the German dub, however. * [[Dark Is Not Evil]] * [[Dark and Troubled Past]] * {{spoiler\|[[Death Byby Adaptation]]}} * [[Defector From Decadence]] / [[Rebellious Rebel]]: Chrono ditched the Sinners after Aion's methods went a little too far. * [[Demon Lords and Archdevils]]: Chrono (along with a few others) is referred to as being very high "ranked" among the demons, implying he's particularly powerful and ''would've'' fallen under this trope had he not rebelled. Line 123: * [[Failure Knight]] * [[Fatal Flaw]]: Chrono's difficulties controlling his emotions, when combined with his demonic instincts, sometimes causes him to lose control and fight his enemies with a frightening unawareness to anything else. (Particularly in the manga.) * [["Get Out of Jail Free" Card]]: Chrono just barely gets out of major punishment after failing to control his demonic instincts during a battle, destroying parts of San Fransisco and causing the deaths of [[Innocent Bystander\|Innocent Bystanders]]. * [[Gentle Giant]]: In his true form. * [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: In the anime when he's going into an [[Unstoppable Rage]]. * [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]]: Subverted, he's got the typical black bat wings of a demon, but he's a good guy. * [[Go Out ~~With~~with a Smile]]: In the anime {{spoiler\|Chrono and Rosette's bodies are found together, both smiling.}} * [[Half -Human Hybrid]]: In the manga, sort of. {{spoiler\|Chrono was a human fetus but apparently born as a demon due to meddling with his mother when she was pregnant.}} He seems much more human than the typical demon. * [[Heroic BSOD]]: After the disastrous carnival battle. * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]: [[Akira Ishida]] and [[Greg Ayres]], both fan favorites. * [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Chrono and Rosette, when Chrono is in his true form. * [[The Lancer]]: His role in the [[Five -Man Band]], when he's not [[The Smart Guy]]. * [[I Am a Monster]]: Chrono states this towards the end of the manga, before {{spoiler\|going to face Aion after the death of Rosette}}. * [[Important Haircut]]: In the manga, once in his backstory and once in the main story. Line 141: * [[The Magnificent]]: Chrono apparently has a bunch of titles in this style--mostly scary and unflattering--but they're rarely mentioned. * [[Martyr Without a Cause]]: Chrono has a bad habit of throwing himself in the way of enemy attacks--although he ''does'' have the ability to heal himself, so it's at least a little understandable. * [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: Chrono and Rosette, particularly when it comes to housework. This tends to be exaggerated even more in fanfic. * [[Meaningful Name]]: "Chrono" comes from the Greek word "Chronos", the personification of time--which fits both one of the main themes of the series (the passage of time) and his power to "stop" time. * [[Nice Guy]]: Until you push his [[Berserk Button]]. Line 152: * [[Rapunzel Hair]]: In his sealed form, but not his true form. However, in the manga backstory (and the epilogue) he had longer hair in his true form, too. * [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Chrono is at least sixty years old (some reports indicate that Moriyama has given 85 or so as his age) but alternates between looking either twelve or twenty. * [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Chrono in his more human-esque form, probably as a symbol of his otherwordly background. * [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Inverted--Rosette is hotblooded, but wears blue. Chrono is the calm voice of reason, but wears red. ** Played straighter with Chrono and Aion. Chrono is emotional, bad with demonic technology and cares about people over everything else. Aion is coldly logical, shown playing chess, and sacrifices people he cares about for the success of his plan. However, the anime version switches the roles for them--a scene in a flashback shows Chrono silhouetted in blue, and Aion in red. * [[Rummage Sale Reject]]: If you seek out pictures of boy's clothing from the 1920's, Chrono's outfit isn't too far off from what a boy around his supposed age would wear...just with some added details that make him stand out from the crowd. * [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Chrono comes across as pretty calm and rational in comparison to Rosette (although he's a bit more impulsive and much more emotional when he doesn't have to balance her out). * [[Sharp -Dressed Man]]: Chrono's red suit ''is'' rather striking...although it's a bit more adorable than the typical look that follows this trope, since he's supposed to look like a 12 year old. * [[Shonen Hair]]: In his true form, and somewhat in his sealed form, too (only with a mullet-braid added onto the back). * [[Sibling Yin -Yang]]: {{spoiler\|Aion is nearly his exact opposite in the manga.}} * [[Sleep Mode Size]]: His usual sealed form. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Many fans spell Chrono's name "Chrno" because of the original logo. * [[Star -Crossed Lovers]]: Both Chrono and {{spoiler\|Mary Magdalene}} ''and'' Chrono and Rosette. Poor guy just doesn't get a break. * [[Stripperiffic]]: In his true form, he's wearing leather pants and an open jacket. And he's one of the more modest demons! * [[Team Mom]]: Chrono can sometimes act like this for the [[Nakama]]. Line 173: === Azmaria Hendric === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: [[Saeko Chiba]] (JP), [[Jessica Boone]] (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:azmaria_profile_2445.jpg\|frame]] Line 179: * [[Apologises a Lot]] * [[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign]]: ....Azmaria? Huh? * [[Babies Ever After]]: The manga epilogue features her grandson, so we know she had at least one kid. {{spoiler\|(Probably with Joshua.)}} * [[Blessed ~~With~~with Suck]]: Being an Apostle in general sucks. In particular, almost everyone Az has cared about has been hurt due to her powers, and she's been used and possibly abandoned by others. * [[Captain Obvious]]: Occurs in the anime, in which Azmaria realizes that Satella (the girl with the German name and strong German accent) is from Germany after she complains about a hot dog. * [[Character Exaggeration]]: In the anime she comes across as nothing ''but'' a moeblob. * [[The Chick]]: Her role in the [[Five -Man Band]], although she gets to be [[The Smart Guy]] in the final battle of the manga. * [[Conveniently an Orphan]] * [[Cursed ~~With~~with Awesome]]: Her special healing ability, which drew jealousy and ire of many people around her prior to Rosette and Chrono coming into her life. * [[~~Distressed~~ Damsel in Distress]] * [[Dojikko]] * [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]: In the anime. * [[Girl of My Dreams]]: Genderswapped version; Azmaria has a dream about Joshua before she even knows he's Rosette's missing brother in volume 2. {{spoiler\|It's hinted in the epilogue that they end up a married couple.}} * [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]]: She has feathered angel wings when she uses her Apostle powers. * [[Healing Hands]]: Azmaria has the power to heal others with her voice. * [[Heroic Albino]] * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]: In the dub, she's [[Jessica Boone\|Chiyo-chan]]. In the Japanese she's [[Saeko Chiba\|Nina Einstein]] (!) * [[Hime Cut]] * [[The Ingenue]]: The gentlest, kindest and most innocent character in the story, despite her [[Woobie]] status. * [[Invisible Backup Band]]: In the anime, Azmaria's singing seems to be magically accompanied by an invisible organ. * [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: The manga epilogue lets us see Azmaria as a 90-year-old. Not that bad, considering her age, but still shocking in comparison since Moriyama opted to draw her realistically aging. Line 204: * [[The Matchmaker]]: For Chrono and Rosette. * [[Official Couple]]: In the manga epilogue {{spoiler\|with Joshua}}. * [[~~Orphans~~Orphan's Ordeal]]: Ever since the deaths(?) of her parents, she's been shuffled around. It seems like a lot of her self-esteem issues possibly stem from it. * [[Rapunzel Hair]] * [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Possibly subverted--her red eyes are possibly only supposed to imply that she's an albino. * [[Second Love]]: Depending on how you take {{spoiler\|Joshua's relationship with Fiore}}, Azmaria might be this for him in the manga. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: There's an official piece of artwork that labels her as "Asmary". "Azumaria" is fairly common as well. * [[Spontaneous Reverb]]: In the anime when she uses her powers. * [[Stepford Smiler]]: A mild version, since she feels like she's a burden to people she tries to keep smiling even when she's not happy. In the manga she seems to slowly start to become more comfortable with expressing her emotions. * [[Token ~~Mini Moe~~Loli]]: Although she's pushing the age barrier, considering she's 12. * [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]] * [[Winged Humanoid]]: One of her powers as an Apostle. === Satella Harvenheit === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: [[Michiko Neya]] (JP), [[Tiffany Grant]] (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Satella_profile_image_3673.jpg\|frame\|This is apparently what [[Otaku]] think housewives look like.]] Line 223: * [[Action Girl]] * [[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign]]: Satella? It ''could'' have been meant to be "Stella", but... * [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Satella flaunts her size, particularly in the manga when she flirts with Chrono. * [[The Big Guy]]: Her role in the [[Five -Man Band]], when she's not being [[The Smart Guy]]. * [[Boobs of Steel]] * [[Cain and Abel]]: Satella's missing family member? {{spoiler\|Has been turned into Fiore.}} When this is revealed they end up fighting each other. Line 232: * [[Cool Big Sis]]: Particularly for Azmaria. (Rosette doesn't exactly look up too Satella...) * [[Dark and Troubled Past]] * {{spoiler\|[[Death Byby Adaptation]]}} * [[Expressive Hair]]: Satella's hair curves into a question mark in one scene of the manga. * [[Fiery Redhead]] * [[Gratuitous German]]: When she uses her powers as a Jewel Witch, and also when she introduces herself. * [[Half -Human Hybrid]]: The manga reveals that she {{spoiler\|has demon blood in her}}, although she appears unaware of it. * [[Harmful to Minors]]: Satella witnessed her parent's murder and sister's kidnapping--she's been searching for the demon responsible ever since. * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]: That's right, it's [[Tiffany Grant]] playing another redheaded German. Or [[Michiko Neya]] playing another [[Cool Big Sis]] character. * [[Human Popsicle]]: Near the end of the manga, {{spoiler\|Satella freezes herself and Fiore in crystal.}} * [[Instant Runes]]: Her powers. Line 245: * [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Particularly in the anime, but definitely in the manga, too. * [[The Ojou]] * [[~~Orphans~~Orphan's Ordeal]]: She probably has it the worst out of everyone, considering the nightmarish way she lost her family. * [[Pretty in Mink]] * [[Rapunzel Hair]] * [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Satella might count for this in the manga epilogue, {{spoiler\|considering she's biologically still 19 in 1999 due to freezing herself in crystal.}} * [[Shotacon]]: In the manga, Satella likes "younger boys"...much to Chrono's chagrin. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Probably the worst of the entire cast--even [[ADV Films]]' translation of the manga screws up on this and calls her "Stella" on one page. * [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Rosette. * [[Younger Than They Look]]: Rosette is surprised when she finds out Satella is only 19. In an omake, the mangaka said he even got letters saying that Satella looked like a housewife. Line 268: === Sister Kate Valentine === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: [[Yoshiko Sakakibara]] (JP), Laura Chapman (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:kate_profile2_8481.jpg\|frame\|FIRE!!]] Line 276: * [[A Father to His Men]]: Sister Kate seems to take on quite a motherly role with the exorcists beneath her. Of course, sometimes she's a ''nagging'' mother... * [[Fantastic Racism]]: Refuses to even ''consider'' the possibility that Chrono is on their side. * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]: In the Japanese, she's [[Yoshiko Sakakibara\|Integra Hellsing]]! * [[Nuns Are Funny]]: She's usually pretty serious, but her hot tempered reactions to Rosette's actions can be pretty extreme--particularly when she starts attacking Rosette with wrestling moves. === Father Ewan Remington === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: [[Show Hayami]] (JP) Jason Douglas (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Remington_profile_136.jpg\|frame\|Poster child for [[Sexy Priest]].]] Line 291: * [[Cool Sword]]: He's got a ''badass'' laser sword with holy powers. * [[Deadly Upgrade]]: In the manga, he's been {{spoiler\|implanted with demonic legion, which require constant "mantainance" to keep him alive.}} * [[Half -Human Hybrid]]: In the manga, {{spoiler\|due to his implants.}} * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]: [[Show Hayami]], who's [[Playing Against Type]] in this role. * [[Hot Dad]]: He's not Rosette's ''real'' father, but he serves as her legal guardian. Oh, and all the nuns in the Order seem to have a crush on him, including Rosette herself. * [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Father Remington comments that mob members should "behave themselves" while he flirts with some of the nuns. * [[The Obi -Wan]] * [[Our Angels Are Different]]: In the anime, he hints that he's a fallen angel. * [[Phenotype Stereotype]] * [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: He's at least seventy years old, but looks about thirty tops. {{spoiler\|In the anime, it's because he's a former angel while the manga has it that his body was infused with Legion, effectively making him 40% demon.}} * [[Sexy Priest]]: Remington is a crush magnet and fond of flirting. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Early scanlations spelled his name "Yuan". === Edward "The Elder" Hamilton === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: [[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (JP), [[John Swasey]] (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Elder_Profile_280.jpg\|frame\|Currently plotting his next panty raid.]] Line 315: === Mary Magdalene === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: [[Tomoko Kawakami]] (JP) [[~~Hillary~~Hilary Haag]] (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Mary_Profile_6341.jpg\|frame\|Miss Walking-Spoiler.]] Line 322: * [[Arc Words]]: Her name shows up very early on and is even worked into the logo of the series, but we don't find out about who she really was until near the end. * {{spoiler\|[[Back ~~From~~from the Dead]]}}: Manga. {{spoiler\|She's been watching Chrono and Rosette in the watch the entire time, unknown to Chrono.}} This is implied in the anime as well, but it seems that Chrono always knew. * [[Blessed ~~With~~with Suck]]: Mary has truly awe-inspiring powers, but at the cost of all of her memories. * [[Beast and Beauty]]: Chrono's the beast to Mary's beauty. * [[Go Out ~~With~~with a Smile]]: In the manga {{spoiler\|she smiles up at Chrono as she takes her last breath.}} * [[I Let Gwen Stacy Die]] * [[The Lost Lenore]] Line 334: * [[Rapunzel Hair]] * [[Satellite Character]]: For Chrono. She seems to have done this on purpose. * [[Star -Crossed Lovers]]: With Chrono--but she likely knew this would happen from the beginning. * [[Stepford Smiler]] * [[Team Mom]]: Mary acted like this for the Sinners during her time with them. Line 351: The race of supernatural beings that the Order fights against and that Chrono belongs to. Their origins and goals differ depending on whether you're following the manga or the anime, but both versions seem to be filled with proud warriors that look down upon humans and consider them tools at best. * [[~~Always Chaotic~~Exclusively Evil]]: Subverted, they ''seem'' this way in the beginning but there's more going on behind the surface. * {{spoiler\|[[Ancient Astronauts]]: In the manga, demons are actually aliens stranded from their home world, although nearly all living demons have forgotten this.}} * [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: In the manga, Duke Daffau is the leader of the Pursuers and (in Chrono's opinion at least) "the best of the best!" This might be the case in the anime as well, although he gets defeated pretty quickly in battle. * [[Bee People]]: In the manga, it's lampshaded by Chrono. The anime demons don't seem to fit this as well. * [[Bishonen Line]]: As a general rule, the more monstrous-looking and beast-like the demon is, the ''weaker'' they are. * [[Deal ~~With~~with the Devil]]: Contracts. Demons under contracts are bound to serve the person who makes the pact, but with a price -- the demon uses the human's soul as an energy source in place of Astral energy. * [[Demon Lords and Archdevils]]: The "Elders" (or leaders of the demons) and Duke Daffau. * [[Doing inIn ~~The~~the Wizard]]: In the manga, demons {{spoiler\|are really aliens.}} * [[Genericist Government]]: Both versions are very vague on how demon society actually ''works''. * [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Seems to be a universal power of the demons in the anime. * [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]]: If a demon has wings, they're usually bat-like. * [[Hellish Pupils]] * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]: Duke Daffau is [[Norio Wakamoto]]. And yes, he's a badass. * [[Higher -Tech Species]]: The demons seem to have better technology than most humans. In the manga it's because {{spoiler\|they're really aliens.}} * [[Holy Burns Evil]]: Demons {{spoiler\|(even the alien ones in the manga)}} are weak to holy water. * [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: The demons, particularly powerful ones like Chrono and Aion, are ''extremely'' difficult to kill. It seems like holy water is one of the few things that has any effect. Line 387: * {{spoiler\|[[Cool Starship]]: In the manga, Pandaemonium is actually the demons' mothership that crash landed in the Atlantic ocean.}} * [[Genius Loci]]: Pandaemonium is both the name of the demons' world, and their queen. In the manga {{spoiler\|she appears to be some sort of biological computer that can control the ship that bears her name.}} * {{spoiler\|[[Luke, I Am Your Father\|Aion and Chrono I Am Your Once-Human Mother]].}} * [[Mind Rape]]: Pandemonium's MO. * [[Rapunzel Hair]] Line 403: * [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Every last one of 'em, except for arguably Joshua. * [[Distinguishing Mark]]: In the manga, all of the sinners (except for Rizelle) have torn out their horns. * [[Five -Bad Band]]: The [[Big Bad]] - Aion [[The Dragon]] - formerly Chrono, now Genai Line 414: === Aion === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: [[Kazuhiko Inoue]] (JP), Andy McAvin (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Aion_profile_9695.jpg\|frame\|[[Evil Is Sexy\|Are you tempted yet?]]]] Line 422: * [[Animal Motifs]]: Aion has an eagle familiar that serves as his symbol (particularly in the anime), and he tends to be fond of bird-related similes as well. * [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Aion's not just the leader of the Sinners because he's the smartest--he's also the most powerful of them (except for ''possibly'' Chrono). * [[Awful Truth]]: Manga--Aion finds out truths about the demons that [[Go Mad ~~From~~from the Revelation\|nearly drive him insane]], and then tries to hide it from Chrono. * [[Badass Longcoat]] * [[Bishonen]]: Although a bit closer to biseinen. Line 430: * [[Cool Sword]]: In the manga, Aion's sword is where he hides his horns, and it has all sorts of cool abilities. * [[Dark Messiah]] * [[Dark -Skinned Blond]] * [[Demon Lords and Archdevils]]: Both versions imply Aion was very high-ranked before his betrayal of Pandaemonium. The manga goes so far as to say that the Elders of his people ''expected'' him to become very high-ranked and powerful...and he ''exceeded'' their expectations. * [[Distinguishing Mark]]: Aion's missing horns is key to {{spoiler\|Satella eventually realizing that Aion was the one responsible for her parents' deaths.}} Line 440: * {{spoiler\|[[Evil Twin]]: Manga, although it's implied in the anime.}} * [[Feathered Fiend]]: Aion's familiar is an eagle (complete with [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] in the anime). * [[Freak -Out]]: Aion in a flashback in the final volume, after finding out about all the lies present in the demon society. * [[Go Mad ~~From~~from the Revelation]]: In the manga, although it's less of a cackling, obvious madness and more of a creepy, calm sort of insanity. * [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: Aion's plans require all of the Apostles. * [[Gotta Get Your Head Together]]: In his traumatic coming-of-age ceremony. * [[Hannibal Lecture]]: A favorite tactic of his. * [[Half -Human Hybrid]]: Like Chrono, in the manga {{spoiler\|Aion was a human fetus turned into a demon while in the womb, and he still seems to have some human characteristics.}} * [[The Heartless]]: The anime strongly suggests that Aion fulfills this role. * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]: [[Kazuhiko Inoue]], AKA [[Naruto\|Kakashi]]. * [[Hidden Agenda Villain]] * [[Hotter and Sexier]]: The manga version of Aion doesn't seem too interested in sex, while the anime version delights in forcing passionate kisses on Rosette and generally acts like a [[Memetic Molester]]. Also, he's voiced by ''[[Kazuhiko Inoue]]'', [[Fan Girl\|that's bound to make anything sexier]]. * [[In Love ~~With~~with Your Carnage]]: Aion is ''very'' happy when Chrono flies into an [[Unstoppable Rage]], and is often disappointed when Chrono tries to avoid tearing his enemies into a bloody pulp or expresses regret and disgust for his actions. * [[~~Ive~~I've Come Too Far...]]: In the manga, this is Aion's general rationalization for his continued efforts against Pandaemonium. * [[Karma Houdini]]: Aion ''appears'' to have gotten away with most of it in the anime, although the ending has been intepreted a few different ways. In the manga his fate is left ambiguous, but it's implied that Chrono defeated him. * [[Large Ham]]: "How lucky can you get? [[Animal Motifs\|The turkey has flown straight into the oven]], basted and ready to cook!" * [[Locked Into Strangeness]]: Manga: Aion's hair turned white after his traumatic coming-of-age ceremony. It's implied his hair was {{spoiler\|purple like Chrono's}} before the event. * {{spoiler\|[[Luke, I Am Your Father\|Chrono I Am Your Brother]]: ''Twin'' brother, at that.}} * [[Meaningful Name]]: In contrast to Chrono's name, Aion is a greek word that means (loosely) "forever" or "eternity". * [[Mommy Issues]]: While it's not his ''only'' problem, he's definitely got some issues with what happened to his mother. Line 464: * [[Rapunzel Hair]] * [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] * [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Possibly--Chrono has red eyes and clothing, and is emotional, bad with technology and places importance on people more than anything else. Aion has purple eyes and his clothes are also accented with purple, and he's cold, intelligent, and is willing to sacrifice anyone for his plan. However, the anime version ''reverses'' their colors in one scene, where Chrono is shown shillouetted in blue and Aion in red. It's possible this is because of the changes to their personalities--Chrono is portrayed as calmer than he is in the manga, and Aion is more easily swayed by his moods and impulses. * [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Aion's glasses don't seem to serve a purpose outside of this. Well, that and [[Rule of Cool\|they make him look cool]], plus it's possible they're there to hide from the audience that {{spoiler\|he has a face suspiciously similar to Chrono's}}. * [[Sharp -Dressed Man]] * [[Shonen Hair]]: Aion had hair like this when he was younger. In fact, he seems to have grown out his hair relatively recently, since it's still short when he {{spoiler\|kidnaps Florette}}. * {{spoiler\|[[Sibling Yin -Yang]]: With Chrono, natch.}} * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Occasionally his name is spelled "Ion" instead. * [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Occasionally subverted--he can actually be rather emotional when you push the right buttons (which tends to be when he ''isn't'' wearing those glasses...) * [[Trickster Archetype]] * [[Ubermensch]] * [[Villain ~~With~~with Good Publicity]]: In the anime, after he brainwashes the "Holy Maiden". * [[Visionary Villain]] * {{spoiler\|[[Was Once a Man]]: In the manga, he was one of the human twin fetuses of a pregnant woman who was abducted and turned into a demon.}} * [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]]: The [[Darkskinned Blonde\|dark skin]] should exempt him from the trope, but Aion doesn't seem to care. === Joshua Christopher === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: [[Junko Minagawa]] (JP) [[Chris Patton]] (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Joshua_profile_9602.jpg\|frame\|He'll only be this calm for about a minute, so think fast.]] Rosette's younger brother. As a child, Joshua was granted with a holy power that allowed him to heal others, but at the cost of his own health. Desperate to become stronger, Joshua accepted Aion's offer to wear Chrono's horns on his head--a gift that grants him incredible power, but at the cost of his sanity. Although fragments of his original cheerful, optimistic personality remain, his weak sanity and Aion's manipulation has twisted him into a childish, impulsive brat. He's wildly devoted to Aion, but greatly misses his sister. * [[The Atoner]]: The manga epilogue shows that Joshua joined the Order after returning home, with Azmaria guessing this as his reason. Line 490: * [[Badass Longcoat]] * [[Bishonen]] * [[Blessed ~~With~~with Suck]]: Like all of the other apostles, having holy powers just made Joshua's life more difficult. They eventually drove him to Aion's side. * [[Blond Guys Are Evil]] * [[Blue Eyes]]: Joshua's eyes are sometimes shown as an icier color than Rosette's--which gets emphasized once he switches sides. Line 497: * [[Conveniently an Orphan]]: Rosette and Joshua's parents died in a shipwreck. * [[Creepy Child]] * [[Cross -Dressing Voices]]: In the Japanese version. He's played by [[Chris Patton]] in the English dub. * [[Empathic Healer]]: Although he didn't realize it at the time, his powers was what caused his mysterious illness as a child. * [[Forgot I Could Fly]]: At one point in the manga, Joshua is almost crushed to death by falling debris until he remembers he can stop time. * [[Girl of My Dreams]]: Genderswapped version; Azmaria has a dream about Joshua before she even knows he's Rosette's missing brother in volume 2. {{spoiler\|It's hinted in the epilogue that they end up a married couple.}} * [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]]: Subverted, as an Apostle Joshua still has the ability to bring out feathered angel wings, but he's siding with the villains. * [[Gotta Get Your Head Together]]: Often, whenever the horns are causing him trouble. * [[Healing Hands]] * [[Hearing Voices]]: Joshua hears telepathic "noise" with Chrono's horns. * [[Hero Worshipper]]: Implied to be this way toward Aion...which may be just another symptom of the insanity caused by his horns. (Although it's at least justified by his previously established love of the occult and larger-than-life characters.) He showed hints of this to Chrono as a child, too. * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]!: [[Junko Minagawa]], who has since played [[Pandora Hearts\|another young blond caught up in the supernatural]]. In the dub, it's popular voice actor [[Chris Patton]] who has since played [[Baccano ~~(Light Novel)~~!\|another crazy blond in the early 20th century US who hero worships an even crazier guy in a white suit]]. * [[I Just Want to Be Badass]]: Part of Joshua's motivation to take Chrono's horns. * [[Ill Boy]]: Joshua was one of these back when he was a child, which is what lead him to accept Chrono's horns from Aion. Line 517: * [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Instead of being freaked out or disbelieving when Chrono calls himself a demon, Joshua's reaction is "WOW!! Are witches and fairies real, too?!" * [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler\|He appears to be engaged or married to Azmaria in the manga epilogue.}} * [[~~Orphans~~Orphan's Ordeal]]: The manga eventually reveals that many of his issues stem from a need to become strong and protect his sister since they're the only family each other has. * [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Chrono's powers + insane kid = lots of damage. * [[Phenotype Stereotype]] Line 525: * [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: With the horns. * [[Sexy Priest]]: Considering he joins the Order in the manga, and grows up to be a biseinen... * [[Sharp -Dressed Man]]: Aion makes sure he's always wearing a nice suit when he's out of the home. * [[Shonen Hair]]: A somewhat toned-down version. * [[Slasher Smile]]: During his crazier moments with the horns. Line 534: === {{spoiler\|Florette}} "Fiore" {{spoiler\|Harvenheit}} === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: Natsuko Kuwatami (JP), [[Monica Rial]] (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Fiore_profile_3752.jpg\|frame\|She could probably kill someone with that mop.]] Line 546: * {{spoiler\|[[Cain and Abel]]}}: When Fiore's past with {{spoiler\|Satella Harvenheit, her sister}} is revealed, it doesn't end well for either party. * [[Came Back Wrong]] * {{spoiler\|[[Death Byby Adaptation]]}} * [[Emotionless Girl]] * [[Evil Counterpart]]: {{spoiler\|To her sister, Satella, since they have the same powers.}} Line 552: * [[Feminine Women Can Cook]] * [[Gratuitous German]]: When she uses her powers. * [[Half -Human Hybrid]]: {{spoiler\|Fiore has a demonic relative, possibly her grandfather.}} * [[Hey, ~~Its~~It's That Voice!]]!: [[Monica Rial]] is one of the most prolific voice actors in anime dubs, so Fiore's bound to set this off for you, particularly for her quieter, more mature roles like [[Soul Eater\|Tsubaki]]. * [[Human Popsicle]]: Near the end of the manga, {{spoiler\|Satella freezes herself and Fiore in crystal.}} * [[Innocent Cohabitation]]: Joshua and Fiore live together by themselves for at least several months without anything appearing to happen between them. (Well, besides a little bit of blood-drinking anyway.) Line 560: * [[Lady of War]]: She curtsies before entering the fray the very first time she reveals herself to be a capable fighter, and she doesn't lose her cool and polite demeanor on the battlefield. * [[Legal Jailbait]]: Appears to be 15, is actually around 25. * {{spoiler\|[[Luke, I Am Your Father\|Satella I Am Your Sister]]: Except that she insists [[That Man Is Dead\|she isn't anymore]].}} * [[Meaningful Name]]: Both {{spoiler\|Florette}} and Fiore mean "flower". * [[Meido]] / [[Ninja Maid]] * [[Only One Name]]: "My name is Fiore. Just Fiore." * [[Eerie Pale -Skinned Brunette]] * [[Rapunzel Hair]]: When she {{spoiler\|was Florette}}. * [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: {{spoiler\|In the manga epilogue, thanks to being frozen in crystal from 1924 to 1999.}} Line 574: === Rizelle === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: Yoko Soumi (JP), [[Christine Auten]] (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Rizelle_profile_6225.jpg\|frame]] Line 583: * [[Rapunzel Hair]]: If you're keeping track, that's ''eight different characters'' with strikingly long hair. Do you think Daisuke Moriyama has [[Author Appeal\|a thing]] for it? * [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Younger than Aion, but still much older than she looks. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Rizel. * [[Stripperiffic]]: In her demon form, she's basically wearing a leotard and thigh-high boots. (And her disguised form in the 1870s isn't much better.) Of course, this becomes [[Fan Disservice]] once her lower body is replaced with that of a large spider's... === Shader === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: Yuko Sasamoto (JP) [[Kira Vincent -Davis]] (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Shader_Profile_318.jpg\|frame\|Every anime needs a [[Catgirl]]. No exceptions.]] Line 594: * [[Blush Sticker]]: Shader ALWAYS has these, even when she's upset or frightened. * [[Brainy Brunette]] * [[Catgirl]] * [[Cat Smile]] Line 600: * [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Particularly in the anime, although it's played as creepy as well as funny. * [[Cuddle Bug]] * {{spoiler\|[[Death Byby Adaptation]]}} * [[Evil Genius]]: Although in the manga she's the least evil member of the Sinners. * [[Genki Girl]] Line 611: * [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses]]: Like Aion, she doesn't appear to ''need'' her glasses to see. They're probably just to make her look smart. * [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: She looks like she's in her late teens or so, but she's at least 60. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: One of the stranger ones, occasionally her name is given as Shedl or Sheda in scanlations. * [[Stripperiffic]]: In her true form, the normally tomboyish looking catgirl wears a skimpy halter top and a short loincloth! === Genai === ~~====~~'' Voiced by: Kouichi Toochika (JP), Jay Hickman (EN) ~~====~~'' [[File:Genai_profile_4020.jpg\|frame]] A rough and tumble member of the Sinners who seems to style himself as some sort of cowboy. Genai is rude, crude and misoginistic. He not-so-secretly has a flame for Rizelle, so he's very bitter and angry towards anyone that had to do with her running off to confront Rosette. * {{spoiler\|[[Death Byby Adaptation]]}} * [[Eye Scream]]: Genai's eyes were cut out during a fight with Pandaemonium, blinding him. The wounds were poorly stitched up afterward--he shows them to Rosette at one point to freak her out. * [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Jenai, or--hilariously--[[Gender Blender Name\|Jenny]]. === Viede === Line 632: * [[Bad Guys Play Pool]]: Although they're never shown ''playing'' pool, Viede uses a pool metaphor to point out to Aion that he shouldn't go into battle without his sword. * {{spoiler\|[[Death Byby Adaptation]]}}: Type 2. * [[Genius Bruiser]]: The manga implies he's one--he's shown carrying stacks of books and playing chess with Aion. * [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] * [[Sharp -Dressed Man]]: He wears a nice suit in the 1870s, although in the 20s he trades it for a leather jacket and a pair of jeans. * [[Spell My Name ~~With~~with an "S"]]: Sometimes his name was spelled "Bid" or "Wid". ---- == Miscellaneous minor characters == === Minor Unaffiliated Characters and Groups === * [[The Caretaker]]: Beth becomes this for Rosette in the manga. * [[Class Representative]]: Although she's technically some sort of "monitor" and not a class rep, Beth in the manga falls under this trope perfectly while she's at the Order. * [[Death Byby Adaptation]]: {{spoiler\|Steiner, Satella's butler}} survives in the manga but is killed off at the carnival in the anime. * [[Fortune Teller]]: Appears in the anime as a foreshadowing device. * [[Human Popsicle]]: The kids at Seventh Belle, thanks to Joshua's use of the horns.
