[[File:Marle_9741.jpg|frame]]

{{quote| The princess of Guardia Castle in 1000 A.D., and daughter of King Guardia XXXIII. Fed up with the trappings of royal life (i.e. not being able to go anywhere without her father's approval), she runs off and bumps into Crono at the Millennial Fair. Her real name is Nadia, but [[Don't Call Me Sir|she prefers to be called Marle]].}}

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[The Archer]]: Uses crossbows - usually firing them but resorting to [[Pistol Whipping]] at melee range.

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Healing Hands]]: The most notable healer among the party.

* [[Hot Blooded]]

* [[Hot-Blooded]]

* [[An Ice Person]]

* [[Identical Grandson|Identical Granddaughter]]: Bears an uncanny resemblance to the queen in the middle ages. Naturally, this becomes a plot point.

Line 160:

* [[Pick Your Human Half]]

* [[Pinocchio Syndrome]]

* [[Plot Relevant Age Up]]: During the Fiona sidequest, Robo spends 100 years re-cultivating the forest. His remains are stored in a chapel built in his honor. Once Lucca powers him up, Robo reveals that he has gained a new perspective on life.

* [[Power Fist]]

* [[Robo Speak]]: His text boxes include an electronic noise to indicate this. The Japanese version also has him speak in katakana, a common way to show mechanical speech.

Line 205:

** {{spoiler|If she was pregnant, the fetus is now dead from alcohol poisoning. Yes, [[Fridge Horror]] is a dish best served cold}}.

* [[Running On All Fours]]

* [[Shout Out]]/[[Name's the Same]]: Shares her name with the protagonist of Jean Auel's ''[[Earths Children]]'' series, who was also a prehistoric woman. She lived less than a million years ago, however (you know, because there were no humans around in 65,000,000 B.C. in the real world).

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Officially "Eira" in Japan.

* [[Summon Magic]]: Dino Tail.

Line 222:

** [[Badass Cape]]

** [[Badass Long Hair]]

** [[Red Eyes Take Warning]], [[Fangs Are Evil]]: apparently just used to indicate how tainted his soul is, given that {{spoiler|he's not actually evil}}.

* [[Barrier Change Boss]]: The [[Trope Namer]]

* [[Black Mage]]

Line 273:

* [[Skippable Boss]]: Only the second time around.

* {{spoiler|[[Token Evil Teammate]]}}

* [[Villainous ~~Widows~~ Peak]]

* [[Villainous Widow's Peak]]

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Even though {{spoiler|Janus}} was kind of a [[Royal Brat]], it's hard not to feel sorry for a child {{spoiler|thrown tens of thousands of years into the future}} and adopted by literal monsters.

* [[The Worf Effect]]: Gets rather thoroughly defeated when he takes on Lavos solo.

Line 291:

* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]: Trying to harness its power is always a bad idea. ([[Plot Armor|Except for the Pendant, using that is fine, prob'ly because it's made of dreamstone]].)

* [[Final Boss Preview]]: Getting pummeled by Lavos in the Ocean Palace. In the first playthrough, you will likely have no chance to attack before he kills you instantly. Or, alternatively, [[Self-Imposed Challenge|skipping ahead to the Day of Lavos]].

** Somewhat [[Zig Zagging Trope|Zig-zagged]] in that Lavos' shell is not, in fact, the True Final Boss. Additionally, Lavos ''is'' beatable the first time, during a [[New Game ~~Plus~~]].

* [[Final Exam Boss]]

* [[Flat Character]]: There really isn't much to it. Kinda like how there's not much to a slug, only slugs probably have a fear response.

* {{spoiler|[[Hero Killer]]: It kills Crono at the Ocean Palace. Actually, it kills your whole party, and then kills Crono [[Dead for Real|For Real]]}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Hero-Killer]]: It kills Crono at the Ocean Palace. Actually, it kills your whole party, and then kills Crono [[Dead for Real|For Real]]}}.

* [[Monster Is a Mommy]]: The party encounters several "Lavos Spawn" on Death Mountain. The characters don't talk about it (except Belthasar in his sparkly-light-diary-thingy but it is definitely played more for horror than for sympathy: Lavos is planning to hurl its children into space so they can destroy ''more'' worlds.

* [[Outside Context Villain]]

Line 378:

* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]: Mostly Ozzie.

* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: Ozzie's always a joke, but Slash and Flea ''are'' respectable enemies when you first meet them in Magus' Castle. It doesn't last, however.

* [[Musical Theme Naming]] / [[Shout Out]]: Ozzie, Slash and Flea are named respectively after the [[Black Sabbath (Music)|Black Sabbath]] vocalist ([[Ozzy Osbourne (Music)|you know, the one that]] [[Never Live It Down|eats bat heads]]), the [[Guns N' Roses (Music)|Guns N' Roses]]/[[Velvet Revolver]] lead guitarist (now gone solo) and the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] bassist.

** Now if only they had a drummer...

** The [[Theme Naming]] in Japan is of food instead (Vinegar, Soysau, and Mayonnai).
