Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Characters: Difference between revisions

For characters that appear in multiple games in the series, see [[Disgaea (Franchise)/Characters|the main character sheet]].

=== Laharl ===

{{quote| Main character of the first game and Prince of the Netherworld. After waking up from a two year "nap" and discovering that his father, King Krichevskoy, has died some time ago, Laharl sets upon claiming the throne for himself. Laharl is cocky, spoiled, and quick-tempered. How much of this is real and how much of it is a front he puts up to feel powerful is a question that most of his vassals ponder. He also has a physical aversion towards optimism and well-endowed women.}}

** Though it's debatable that he never really changed ''that'' much. At the end of the first game, he has {{spoiler|become a wiser king and accepted [[The Power of Love]]}} - he never really stopped being egotistical and a brat. And it's not like he was genuinely bad beforehand.

* [[Affably Evil]]: While he's still stubborn and prideful, Laharl can arguably count as this due to his status as a [[Noble Demon]]. {{spoiler|Best shown when Laharl singlehandedly destroys the Earth Defense Force's armada while giving the crew time to escape.}}. Naturally, he denies it.

* [[Allergic to Love]]: In episodeChapter 5, Laharl actually [[Gameplay and Story Integration|loses statistics]] when lustful demons accost him with [[Care Bear Stare|words of encouragement, love, and kindness]].

* [[All Genes Are Codominant]]: Averted -: Laharl's mother was human, but his status as a [[Half-Human Hybrid]] is never brought up in the games , {{spoiler|though it is in the novels}}, he exhibits all of the traits of demons, and {{spoiler|like all Overlords}}, he's extremely powerful.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: In the games' canon, his aversion to busty women is [[Played for Laughs|played for many laughs and jokes at his expense]]. [[Disgaea Novels|The novels]], though not canon to the games, paint a much darker story;: Laharl's aversion to busty women was instilled into him by his aunt, a well-endowed demon that {{spoiler|abused him quite severely after his mother's death (for an century's worth, no less), on the account that no one with human blood should take the throne of the Overlord.}} .

* [[An Odd Place to Sleep]]: Laharl sleeps in a coffin, despite not being a vampire. {{spoiler|Justified: we never saw his bedroom before he was poisoned by Etna and lulled into a two-year sleep.}}.

* [[Anti-Hero]] (Type V)/ [[Anti-Villain]] (Type I): [[Noble Demon|According to him.]]

** [[Badass Long Hair]]: His hair is mostly short, but his [[Hair Antennae|hair antennas]] are ''really'' long and are the design choice that makes him stick out the most and complements his [[Badass|badasserybadass]]ery perfectly.

** {{spoiler|[[Heartbroken Badass]]: Too young to fall in love, but he is absolutely devastated in the end because of Flonne's fate. How bad it turns out depends on the ending you get.}}.

* [[Bad Boss]]: In chapterChapter eight8, he speculates that ''maybe'' making the prinnies work 20 hours a day with no days off was a ''bit'' harsh.

* [[Beneath the Mask]]: Laharl tries his very best to be completely perceived as an evil demon, but his more positive qualities, like his [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|forgiving, noble and strangely kind nature]], is regularly provoked to the surface throughout the game.

* [[Blush Sticker]]: [[media:Mammy_1496Mammy 1496.png|Baby Laharl,]], drawn by the series artist Takehito Harada.

* {{spoiler|[[Break the Haughty]]: The ending where Flonne was sentenced to be a flower for all eternity because of Laharl can be seen as this. Even the traditional Bad Ending where he sacrifices his life to save Flonne counts, though it's a lesser example.}}.

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Laharl's got some strange ideas of what it means to be an Overlord. If money is needed, it’s time to loot some noble’s mansion .<ref> Though to be fair, they stole it from his castle first.</ref>. Assassin angels/[[Love Freak|Love Freaks]]s are potential recruits. Laughing evilly on a regular basis is a requirement. Ideal Overlord tasks are [[Poke the Poodle|making it rain pepper so the humans will sneeze their nostrils out or deprive children of their sleep by giving them addictive videogames]]. Heroes should not just be defeated; enslavement is the way to go. Granted, demon standards of evil lie on this level generally, anyways - Laharl's theme song proclaims not washing his hands after going to the bathroom and playing with fire as pillars of wickedness.

* [[But Now I Must Go]]: {{spoiler|In the ending you get if you've beaten the Item God 2, it looks like Laharl has killed Lamington, but it turns out he's still alive. Mid Boss comes and explains the situation and Flonne is returned to normal. Laharl declares that if he acted so quickly in anger he is not ready to be the Overlord and teleports away.}}.

* [[Byronic Hero]]: A comedic version.

* [[Crazy Consumption]]: After tasting Hanako's delicious food he thinks she used Zombie Juice make it so good. Hanako takes this as an insult.

* [[Cross DresserCrossdresser]]: Purely [[Fanon]], but it is a popular theory as to what the [[Embarrassing Old Photo|embarrassing picture]] depicts him doing.

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: You wouldn't expect it from a ''Disgaea game'', but the [[Disgaea Novels|novels]] say otherwise.

* [[Death From Above]]: His final attack, Meteor Impact.

* [[Deceased Parents Are the Best]]: Laharl‘s mother was a loving woman and his father a righteous man - both conveniently dead. Deconstructed in that his mother’s death had a hugely negative impact on him {{spoiler|and his father, being reincarnated as Mid-Boss, is by technicality still alive.}}.

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Defrosting Ice Prince]]: He starts out distant, constantly irritable, and condescending, but eventually warms up to Flonne and Etna.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Over the years, Etna and Flonne have appeared in more spinoffs while Laharl has [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories (Video Game)|only had]] [[Disgaea Infinite|two]] significant appearances.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: 10 years after the game in the novels, Laharl manages to deliver a [[Curb Stomp Battle|completely one-sided beatdown]] to ''[[Eldritch Abomination|Baal]]'', and for additional humiliation, let his team of [[Butt Monkey|prinnies]] loose on Baal after his defeat. It's not [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] anymore - more like [[Up to Eleven|Did You Just Sue Cthulhu Ten Billion HLs and Make Him Your Slave]]?

* [[Dodge the Bullet]]: In ''Disgaea 2'', Etna and Flonne gets pissed at Laharl for various reasons and attacks him with swords and guns; he dodges all of the initial blows, though just barely, and shows of some nice foot work. He does this occasionally in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'' as well.

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: [[Disgaea Infinite|“Don’t"Don’t give me that look of pity. I just had a bad concussion. Bad enough that I lost my memory of getting a concussion.”"]]

* [[Dramatic Wind]]: Wind follows Laharl constantly during battle, making his scarf billow. Interestingly, it has become a tradition among ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories/Characters|Disgaea]]'' [[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice/Characters|main]] [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten/Characters|characters]] to have a [[Dramatic Wind]] following them during battle.

* [[The Dutiful Son]]: Does not have any siblings, but {{spoiler|Vyers}} calls him "quite the dutiful son" in the manga, which is very true; Lahal is quite devoted to his duty as per his heritage.

* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: Even at his worst, he doesn't deny he loved his mom.

* [[Evil Eyebrows]]: Different from normal evil eyebrows in that each look like a straight line, but they have the same effect as it makes him look perpetually angry, even though he is not. He usually sports an ambiguous smile and acts rather content, but he's chronically irritable and never stays content for long.

* [[The Evil Prince]]: Laharl thinks he is this; he even claims he was ready to dethrone his father before he went and croaked on his own. [[Noble Demon|Of course, that only applies for a certain level of evil]].

* [[Exposed to Thethe Elements]]: Laharl is one of the least dressed characters NIS has ever created, yet he never makes any remarks about changing temperatures, despite adventuring to parched lakes of lava and frozen tundras.

* [[Expressive Accessory|Expressive Scarf]]: Like his antennas, his scarf will change shape in accordance with his mood.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Laharl is a victim of this in the novels, {{spoiler|where his aunt and uncle organizes a resistance against his reign because he is half human.}}.

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Laharl's father does his best to invoke this trope, {{spoiler|by working with Lamington to have Laharl become best friends with an angel of high expectations like himself and further the work to unite the Netherworld and Celestia that he started}}. It is also mentioned that Laharl and King Krichevskoy are rather similar. Laharl probably inherited his big [[Smug Super|ego]] from his [[Narcissist|father]].

* [[Good Hurts Evil]]: Being horribly allergic to love and optimism makes Laharl Disgaea’s''Disgaea'''s prominent example of this, but any evil being can be hurt by Flonne’s pendant, light or dark.

* [[Greed]]: No one is touching ''his'' allowance, even if it is vassals late for their paychecks, and has been called stingy by Etna several times.

* [[Heavy Sleeper]]: In the intro to the first game, Laharl wakes up from a two-year nap, with Etna ''violently'' waking him up. {{spoiler|Said nap was due to poison by Etna, but considering that he initially meant for it to be a ''ten-day'' nap, he's still playing the trope straight.}}.

** She had tried to wake him up by attacking him with various deadly weapons and even when it took over a year to wake him up, and it did [[Made of Diamond|not seem to hurt him the slightest]].

* [[The Hero]]: [[Noble Demon|Sort of.]].

* [[Hidden Heart of Gold]]: He does genuinely care about Flonne and Etna, even if he won't admit it.

* [[Human Mom, Nonhuman Dad]]: His dad was the demon Overlord, and his mother was a human witch.

* [[Humble Hero]]: [[Glory Seeker|Mostly inverted,]], but he has a unusual tendency to become embarrassed when praised:

{{quote| ''Hmph... Quit complimenting me so much. It's embarrassing.''}}

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The Laharl Kaiser V as ''Disgaea 4 DLC''.

* [[Inferiority Superiority Complex]]: Different in that he does think highly of himself, but is desperately afraid of others thinking less of him.

* [[Keet]]: Normally not seen, but when he becomes the Overlord, he immediately begins shouting excitedly "Overlord! Overlord! Overlord!" and as his first act practices his [[Evil Laugh]] for hours on end.

* [[Kid Hero|Kid Anti-Hero]]: A physically and mentally 13 year old [[Noble Demon]] protagonist.

* [[Like Parent, Like Spouse|Like Parent Like Potential Spouse]]: With Flonne. See [[Loving a Shadow]] below.

* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]: His parents are dead, he is implied to have a vast fortune in money, he is implied to have no close friends other than Etna and Flonne, and {{spoiler|according to ''[[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories (Video Game)|Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'', he has severe abandonment issues.}}.

* [[Loving a Shadow]]: It is mentioned that Flonne is very similar to Laharl’s mother, and there is quite a lot of [[Ship Tease|ship teasing]] between the two.

* [[The Magnificent]]: In English, Laharl calls himself "The great Laharl" and the like, instead of "ore-sama" like in Japanese.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: In addition to the volcano [[Theme Naming]], Laharl’s name means flow of ''mud'' from a volcano and the guy who fathered him is named after a real volcano (as a matter of fact, Laharl’s name is the only demon part of the volcano [[Theme Naming]] that is not named after a volcano). This makes sense because of how [[Royal Brat|Laharl]] is in comparison to his [[The Wise Prince|father]].

* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: In the novels, Laharl’s mother used to wear a scarf that is very similar to his own. It’s never stated that he inherited the scarf from his mother, but knowing Laharl, it’s probably not a coincidence.

* [[Momma's Boy]]: He would have most likely become this had his mother still been alive. Her death had a huge impact on him;: he went [[Unable to Cry|beyond mourning her death]] by denying the very emotion that symbolizes the bond between them, love, and [[Allergic to Love|he falls ill every time someone just mentions the words she used to preach to him]].

* [[Mood Swinger]]: He has 13 different moods that he drasticly swings between. [[Justified]] since such drastic mood swings are perfectly normal for a teenager. Not an extreme example, because all of the moods have recognizable causes, and they are of a wide spectrum, not just extremes.

* [[Nakama]]: Anyone who hurts his best friends Flonne and Etna are in for a lot of pain. He might not have the guts to say he loves them, but he has no qualms about telling what bad idea it is to mess with them, because he will not let you get away with it.

* [[The Napoleon]]: The character notes in the''The World of Disgaea'' artbook even declare that he has a Napoleon complex.

* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: His reaction to Gordon firing a raygun at maximum power in the novels? "It tickles.". Etna also claimed that 5 shots from a rocket launcher, 4 missiles at point-blank distance and 3 X-ray beam cannons did absolutely nothing to him. However, he can still be injured by high-powered and magic-imbued weapons.

** In the games, Laharl is [[Made of Diamond]], easily shaking of physical abuse from Flonne and Etna, even heavy abuse after a few hours nap, without a single scratch and talking like he did not even feel pain. {{spoiler|Also has been shown to be able to be in the vicinity of his own planet-busting attack as of ''[[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories (Video Game)|Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]''.}}.

* [[Oedipus Complex]]: He openly acknowledges that he hates his dad <ref>Though how much he hates him depends on whether or not you interpret his line as actual hatred or him simply acting like a typical demon.</ref>, while he really liked his mother.

** Though being just reminded of his father makes him change his mind about killing Hoggmeiser and stealing all of his stuff, that is a lot positive influence wielded, but the guy he supposedly hate. Also Krichevskoy does not appear to believe Laharl when he claims he hates him in the flashback, he seems to simply dismiss it for an act to appear demonic and that Laharl will or have to grow out of it one day.

** Thursday lampshades this when he and Gordon find his mother's picture stashed in his drawer in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]''.

* [[Orgasmically Delicious]]: When Laharl gets his hands on Super Rare Pudding in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'', he expresses its deliciousness with extreme delight and even has a hallucination of himself walking on a road of puddings in space! [[Justified]] because he had been starving himself to fully enjoy the pudding all day long.

* [[Orphan's Ordeal]]: When Laharl lost his mother is unknown, but the negative, though unusual, impact it had on him follows him in plain sight like a shadow.

* [[Otaku]]: Laharl loves game consoles and games according to ''[[Prinny 2]]''. The intro for ''[[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories (Video Game)|Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' also has him watching a TV playing the intro.

* [[Percussive Maintenance]]: This is how Laharl wanted to deal with Mr. DVD Player in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'' when Flonne was upset because it will not play her Blu-ray Disc; "I'm sure a smack or two will fix everything."

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: He becomes this if you beat him during the story mode of ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' or if you get his ending in ''[[Zettai Hero Kaizou Keikaku|ZHP]]''.

* [[Picky Eater]]: According to the Prinnies, he tends to complain about his food tasting bland.

* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: No bigger than [[Teens Are Short|4’5’’ (135cm)]], but is the strongest demon in his own Netherworld nonetheless. Cameo appearances also put him at the higher end of the Overlord power spectrum.

* [[Pretty Little Headshots]]: Laharl gets shot in the head by Etna at the start of Etna Mode, we never get see the wound, but the lack of severity of it is magnified by the fact that {{spoiler|Laharl simply sleeps it off}}.

* [[Pride]]: Laharl's most prominent flaw.

* [[Requisite Royal Regalia]]: Not his normal outfit seen above, but the one he is given in NIS's upcoming game ''[[Bikkuriman Kanjyuku Haoh]]'', namely [[media:Laharl_crown_2_4898Laharl crown 2 4898.png|this]] which includes a [[Nice Hat|big ass crown]], [[Pimped-Out Cape|ermine cape]] and... a candy sword?

* [[Royal Brat]]: He initially refused to pay his vassals because that would involve spending his allowance. Also frequently confiscates Etna's desserts for his consumption.

* [[Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training]]: Laharl trains everyday to surpass his predecessor according to ''The World of Disgaea'', and is very capable and powerful, but he is incapable of performing mundane tasks and providing for his own needs, like food. According to the prinnies, he can't even set the VCR.

** [[Real Men Cook|Immature Boys Cant Cook]]: And eats a study diet of ramen when there are no vassals to make their food for them.

* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: His scarf flares like flames and it changes like it has a mind of its own. But he clearly got control over it, as [[Expressive Shirt|it changes shape along with his mood]], and he has deliberately puffed it out to make him seem bigger. Most likely, [[A Wizard Did It]].

** It's also pointed out in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'', when Laharl tells Raspberyl to stop tugging his awesome scarf.

* [[Skilled but Naive]]: Laharl puts all of his soul, mind and power behind being a good Overlord, but lacks the experience of a leader; he has little to no idea what a good leader is supposed to do, leading him to deem important tasks as beneath him.

* [[Slave to PR]]: He is overly concerned with his reputation and image. It’s the main obstacle that keeps him from being honest about his feelings.

* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Particularly in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]''.

** [[Food Asas Bribe]]: In ''[[Prinny 2]]'', it is confirmed he loves snacks and he will even help the Prinnies out in exchange for sweets.

* [[Take a Third Option]]: People who have experienced tragic events often look for someone to blame. With that in mind, one could think Laharl would have had about two options after his mother killed herself to save him. One;: [[It's All My Fault|blame himself for her death]]. Or Two;: [[Never My Fault|blaming his mother for abandoning him]]. But he chose a third option;: he blamed the very feeling that compelled her to do so, love, and repressed it. By doing so, he avoided sorrow and tainting his perfect image of her.

* {{spoiler|[[Take Me Instead!]]: Laharl offering of his own life to god in exchange for Flonne’s.}}.

* [[They Call Me Mister Tibbs]]: "Call me "Your Highness". I am the {{spoiler|Overlord}} now".

* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: [[Nigh Invulnerability|Burning Laharl is forgivable]]; messing with his hair is not! Also classifies as an [[Ironic Echo]], given that Mid-Boss, {{spoiler|akaa.k.a. King Krichevskoy}}, said it scenes before.

* [[Trash of the Titans|Trash Of The Overlords]]: In ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'', Laharl's room is described to be incredibly messy. If the Prinnies clean the room, it won’t take long before he messes it up again.

* [[Tsurime Eyes]]: A rather glaring one at that.

* [[Turn the Other Cheek]]: Laharl is usualy quick to declare minor actions to be [[This Is Unforgivable!|unforgivable]], but when it turns out that Etna poisoned him in his sleep and used him as bait for her revenge against Maderas, he instantly forgives her after it is over, proclaims that he does not mind that traitorous and selfish aspect of her and that he needs a someone like her to be his right-hand demon.

* [[Unable to Cry]]: He claims he is unable to feel sadness and has never cried before. While this could be an example of [[Unreliable Expositor]], {{spoiler|when he finally sheds a single tear, he is honestly surprised.}}. This means he has not cried for at least as long as he can remember.

** [[Single Tear]]: {{spoiler|For Flonne in the goodGood ending.Ending}}.

* [[Unwanted Harem]]: In [[Disgaea Novels|the novels]], both Gordon and Jennifer’s daughter and Flonne’s little sister are in love with him, and even Etna and Flonne have a crush on him (rather surprising, since whether or not their game counterpart feel this way is VERY debatable). And the list does not end there: the girls and [[Squick|women]] who want to get into his shorts get more numerous as the novel series goes on, to Laharl's major frustration.

* [[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid]]: It's hinted that Laharl has not always had the attitude he has now, and was a more loving child when his mother was still alive.

* [[Villain Song]]: [http://www.animelyrics.com/game/disgaea/laharlsanbika.htm Ode to Laharl,] his theme song. Spoofed -: the lyrics are full of deeds that would more easily describe [[Poke the Poodle|Poking The Poodle]] instead of [[Kick the Dog|Kicking The Dog]].

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: He apparently prefers to wear his giant scarf over putting on a shirt.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: He is violently allergic to well-endowed women and optimistic sayings, particularly the phrase "eternal love.". He gets over it eventually.

* [[Who Dares?]]: "What fool dares awaken me, the great Laharl?"

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Though conisidering he's a demon, this isn't that unusual.

* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]: Laharl is said to be in only one who has canonically defeated Baal, and continues to try to defeat him for good in several cameos. Why he bothers is not clear, but what we do know is that Baal was the cause of his father’s death. Interestingly enough, Baal will always show up as a [[Bonus Boss]] whenever Laharl makes an appearance.}}

* [[Young Conqueror]]: Switch out regular, "human" idealism with demonic idealism, and more thoughtful strategy with brute-force tactics. Though given that this is ''[[Disgaea]]'', [[Violence Really Is the Answer]].

* [[A -Cup Angst]]: She's very insecure about her lack of cleavage.

* [[Age-Inappropriate Dress]]: She might be 1470, but she looks no older then 14, so her [[Stripperiffic]] [[Hell-Bent for Leather|black leather]] outfit is doomed to turn some heads.

* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Technically, Etna is considered a "Demon Lord" class; she "hacked" it to "Beauty Queen". However, it is pointed out in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' that her strength is the same as an Overlord's.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Almost completely heartless in the beginning, though played for laughs. She mellows a little after she regains {{spoiler|her memories.}}.

* [[Bastard Girlfriend]]: Her abusive nature toward the Prinnies and anyone who pisses her off is played to add to her overall appeal... but also for laughs.

* [[BelligerentBlack SexualBra Tensionand Panties]]: BetweenShe herwears anda black Laharlbra and, especiallyaccording into the artbook for ''[[Disgaea 2]]'': and ''[[DisgaeaCursed InfiniteMemories]]'', panties.

* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Etna is both powerful and wise enough to be the Overlord, but as Etna Mode (where she ultimately decides it is not worth it) and the Prinny games (where she leaves the position open even though Laharl is a Prinny) have exemplifed, is too irresponsible and lacks the drive to do it. She does get the job in the anime and in the normal ending of the game... and then complains about it being so much work!

* [[Conflicting Loyalty]]: Etna has great loyalty to King Krichevskoy, so great in fact that it remained with her even when she lost her memory. But she also made a promise to him; to protect Laharl and make sure become a great Overlord, which may or may not be more then Etna can stand.

* [[Cool Pet]]: Etna used to have a puppy Mystic Beast, which are basically blue wolf puppies with pink [[Funny Afro|afros]]. Formally introduced in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' as an actual creatable monster.

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Bright red hair and bright red eyes.

* [[Dangerously-Short Skirt]]: Her standard skirt is too mini to even be called a miniskirt.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Very sarcastic and snarky, at all times.

* [[Detached Sleeves]]: When she was little.

* {{spoiler|[[Dragon Ascendant]]: In some endings, and the end of the anime.}}.

{{quote| ''I hated the Prince... I envied the Prince...''}}

* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]: She's always wearing something leather.

* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]: Etna casually snarks about killing Laharl and endlessly abuses her Prinnies even as she saves the Netherworld.

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Her strength is on par with most adult overlords, despite being physically and mentally around fourteen at most.

* [[Little Miss Snarker]]: Thanks to her upbringing, she is [[Wise Beyond Their Years|Wise Beyond Her Years]] and a notable [[Deadpan Snarker]].

* [[Magic Skirt]]: Etna invokes this by belting the skirt to her hips.

* [[Morality Chain]]: Without both Laharl and the memories of King Krichevskoy, Etna would be an even more unpleasant person, as shown in Etna Mode. With them around, she's a mere [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]].

* [[My Eyes Are Leaking]]: Etna starts to cry in Etna Mode when she realizes she broke the promise she made to King Krichevskoy, because she killed Laharl instead of protecting him, like she promised she would.

{{quote| ''Even though my memories were stolen, I still broke my promise to the King... King Krichevskoy... You must be angry with me...''}}

* [[Picky Eater]]: She does not even consider Chilled Noodle Salad to be food.

* [[Precocious Crush]]: Flashbacks in Etna mode and entries in her diary reveal that she developed one as a child {{spoiler|when King Krichevskoy, the first person to show her kindness, took her in}}.

* [[Prehensile Tail]]: She used it as a third hand in the trailer for the anime.

* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: She enjoys teasing Laharl about his feelings for Flonne, and in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'', goes out of her way to avert a [[Cannot Spit It Out]] situation between the two, much to Laharl's annoyance and protests.

* [[Stacy'sSlave Mom|Laharl's DadCollar]]: ToWhen she Kingwas Krichevskoylittle.

** In the "Etna Heroine" ending, she {{spoiler|kills Maderas, Flonne when she tries attempts to stop her, and later Laharl.}}.

* [[What Does She See in Him?|What Do You See In Him]]: Etna asks Flonne this in ''Disgaea 3'' when they start arguing over who gets to be Laharl's "wife" when they pretend to be Mao's parents.

=== Flonne ===

[[File:Flonne_2119Archangel Flonne 7314.png|frame|The Original [[LoveArchangel Freak]]outfit]]

* {{spoiler|[[AAnd CupI AngstMust Scream]]: PointingBeing herturned chestinto outa seemsflower to bein the only thing thatending can trulybe piss her off in theinterpreted firstas gamethis}}.

* [[Battle Cry|Battle Cries]]: "Lord, give me strength." "Sorry, I won't hold back!" "Ultimate attack! Lord, give me strength." "Get Ready!".

* [[Berserk Button]]: The very first time in the games that Flonne ''ever'' gets mad is "EXCUSE ME FOR BEING [[A -Cup Angst|FLAT!!]]

** She also responds very angrily to being called any variation of "villainess.".

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: She is a very [[Cloudcuckoolander|flaky]] [[Otaku|otaku]], but she gives Seraph Lamington the results he wants. She continues to be one as an Archangel to the dismay of [[Disgaea 4: aA Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|Artina]], who often wonders how the Seraph and the other Archangels accept her behavior.

* [[Character Exaggeration]]: Flonne is the victim of this in [[Disgaea Novels|the novels]], see [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] below. She also goes so far as to call Laharl a pervert, [[Celibate Hero|even though she of all people should know him better]]. Also, her later game appearances dial-up her otaku-ness.

* [[The Chick]]: Par for the course when you are the [[Love Freak]] and angel among demons, regardless of the sex ratio.

* [[The Chosen One]]: {{spoiler|Chosen to unite the Netherworld and Celestia by [[Physical God|Seraph]] [[Big Good|Lamington]].}}.

* [[Cleavage Window]]: Though it goes mostly unnoticed thanks to the size of the window and her breasts.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: In the novels, Flonne is very obviously in love with Laharl. She gets extremely jealous if Laharl gets close to another girl - whether Laharl likes said girl does not matter. A rather jarring difference from her game counterpart, who would do anything to [[Love Freak|spread love all across the universe]] and even volunteers to be Laharl and Etna's [[The Matchmaker|matchmaker]] in ''Disgaea 2''. She is still a love freak in the novels, but the universe won’t get Laharl without a fight, it seems.

{{quote| '''Flonne:''' "Nice to meet you! I'm an assassin. Whoops. I wasn't supposed to say that." }}

* [[Collector of the Strange]]: Flonne collects stuff that an [[Otaku]] normally collects, such as [[Toku]] movies and series, but she also fancies bigger stuff like giant space ships (she claimed Gargantua), space cruisers (the [[Trinity Universe (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mk. III]]) and [[Humongous Mecha|giant robots]] ( {{spoiler|the Great Flonzor X}}).

* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]: [[Blue OysterÖyster Cult (Music)|Go, go, Flonnezilla!]]

** In a more minor example, she apparently believes that ninjas are known for saying "Nin nin nin!". By ''Disgaea 4'', they actually ''do''.

* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: As a {{spoiler|[[Fallen Angel]]}}.

** [[Punched Across the Room]]: Flonne sends Laharl flying across the room in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'' to prevent him from harming Mr. DVD Player.

* [[Genki Girl]]: Flonne is usually energetic or enthusiastic, but not exceedingly like most [[Genki Girl]].

* [[The Glomp]]: In the Drama CD, Flonne practices to a recital, but when it's time, no one shows up. She is driven to tears, but sings her heart out even without an audience. When she's done, someone starts to clap. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Turns out Laharl and Etna came after all.]] This touches her so greatly, that she starts to cry tears of joy and glomp Laharl as hard as she can.

* [[Glurge Addict]]: Show hints of this, especially when Laharl mentions bluntly that his father is dead, and she starts to cry.

* [[Good Costume Switch]]: From her {{spoiler|[[Fallen Angel]]}} outfit to her angel trainee outfit in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'' and to her Archangel outfit in ''[[Disgaea 4: a Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|Disgaea 4 aA Promise Unforgotten]]''.

* [[Go Through Me]]: In ''Etna The Heroine Ending'', Flonne tries to protect Maderes in this manner from Etna. It does not go well for her.

* [[Heart Beat-Down]]: Her healing spell [[The Power of Love|Power of Love]] and attack skill Holy Arrows which is a volley of explosive arrows shaped like hearts when she is a {{spoiler|[[Fallen Angel]]}}.

* [[Holy Child]]: Seraph Lamington thinks she is the key to Celestia's future {{spoiler|and that she will heal Laharl's heart and together they will reunite Celestia and the Netherworld.}}. Vulcanus is jealous of the high thoughts the Seraph has for her and tirelessly tries to have her killed. {{spoiler|In the canon ending, he's proven right.}}.

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: In regards to Etna. Even though Etna plays tricks on her, she refuses to see Etna's more wicked characteristics. Though Flonne is not without reason because Etna does make sure to hide things from her, as Flonne is a [[Morality Pet]] to her and Flonne would get on her case if she found out about her deeds, like how much Etna really pays the Prinnies.

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Flonne is very passionate about love and heroism, especially in her ''[[Trinity Universe (Videovideo Gamegame)|Trinity Universe]]'' cameo.

* {{spoiler|[[Humongous Mecha]]: Her Great Flonzor X in ''[[Disgaea 4: a Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|Disgaea 4 aA Promise Unforgotten]]''}}.

* [[Implied Death Threat]]: Her treat to Laharl that she will assassinate him if demons are really incapable of love.

{{quote| ''And if necessary… I’ll carry out my original mission with a new target!''}}

** [[Asshole Victim]]: In Flonne’s Tragedy Ending, she follows up on this claim and defeats Laharl with her blazing flame of justice because he tried to kill Hoggmeiser.<ref>andAnd killed at least fifty allies, which is required to get this ending.</ref>.

* [[Implied Love Interest]]: {{spoiler|In the Bad Ending, Laharl sacrifices his life to restore Flonne before coming back as a Prinny; other endings have this to a lesser degree. This isn't taking into account the massive amounts of [[Ship Tease]], even including Lamington himself.}} .

* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Subverted.She's Flonneevery learnsbit aas wholeinnocent lotas aboutshe herselflooks. fromEven herwhen visitshe tobecomes the Netherworld, particularly abouta herdemon hiddenshe deviantstays andas easilyinnocent temptedas sideever.

* [[Informed Attribute]]: She may not look it, but her breasts are as big as [[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight|Rin Tohsaka's]] as stated in the''The World of Disgaea'' book (77 metric).

* [[Interspecies Friendship]]: With Laharl and Etna.

* {{spoiler|[[Kill the Cutie]]: In most endings. Sometimes subverted, sometimes [[Tear Jerker|not]].}} .

* [[The Klutz]]: Laharl and Etna thinks she is this, [[Informed Attribute|but she has never been shown doing something extremely clumsy (though she does occasionally say "Pardon me!" when attacking]], so the statements tend to be more about [[Cloudcuckoolander|the thoughts that goes through her head]] rather than her physical slip-ups.

* [[Large Ham]]: Can be rather ''passionate'' about the power of love, especially in ''[[Disgaea 4: a Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|Disgaea 4 aA Promise Unforgotten]]''.

* [[Leotard of Power]]: {{spoiler|Her outfit as an [[Fallen Angel]].}}.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: In the manga and the anime. Her cooking skills in the games are never really mentioned, but when it's only Laharl and Flonne in the Overlord's Castle in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'', their diet consisted of potato chips, instant ramen, and canned tuna, implying that Flonne may not know how to cook.

** [[Through His Stomach]]: In the ''Disgaea 2'' Drama CD, Flonne tries to make Etna help her cook Laharl a meal since he’s so hungry and so that he and Etna can finally make amends. Etna refuses, so Flonne turns to [[Feminine Women Can Cook|Rozalin]] for help.

* [[Love Bubbles]]: Such bubbles surround Flonne and Laharl in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'' after Laharl congratulates Flonne for passing an angel promotion test, which she is ''extremely'' touched by.

* [[Love Triangle]]: In the ''Disgaea 2'' Drama CD, Flonne also declares that it has become a [[Love Triangle]] between Laharl, Etna and Adell, and the reason Etna does not want to come home with Laharl is that Etna and Adell are a couple. Etna runs along with it.

** {{spoiler|But don't rely on her too much on the first playthrough, given that she gets removed from your party for the last story boss.}}.

* [[Morality Pet]]: Acts as one to Etna, and later Laharl.

* [[Nice to Thethe Waiter]]: According to ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'', she is especially nice to the [[Butt Monkey|Prinnies]], who in turn have formed an unofficial fan club.

* [[No Sense of Direction]]: She got lost on her way home to Celestia once.

* [[One Head Taller]]: Flonne is exactly one head taller then Laharl.

* [[Otaku]]: Flonne is apparently a big fan of [[Ninja|ninjasninja]]s and [[Kaiju]].

* [[Parental Substitute]]: Arguably Lamington. Flonne got parents of her own in [[Disgaea Novels|the novels]], but this is never mentioned in the game. He talks about her with great pride and fate, and the game shows she had permission to speak to him casually, even thoughtthough she is a mere angel trainee, and he is no less then the [[Physical God|Seraph]].

* [[Percussive Maintenance]]: Flonne started smacking Mr. DVD-player mightily in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'' when it would play her Blu-ray Disc while cheering "Come on, Mr. DVD Player! You can do it!".

* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Her archangel outfit; lots of ribbons, collar, mantelet, sleeves, several layers of petticoats, the inmost has golden heart embroidery, heart earrings and elegant sandals.

* [[Pretty Freeloaders|Pretty Freeloader]]: Flonne is not often referred to as Laharl's vassal (despite Laharl forcibly conscripting her into the role after her failed assassination attempt), she lives at Overlord's castle free of charge, and her needs are taken care of by the Prinnies, which she feels bad about, as mentioned in ''Prinny 2''.

* [[Rank Up]]: From ''Disgaea 3'' Raspberyl Mode, ''Disgaea 4'' and out is Flonne the new Archangel, {{spoiler|replacing Vulcanus.}}.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Even moreso in ''[[Disgaea 4: a Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|Disgaea 4 aA Promise Unforgotten]]'', where her hair seems to have grown quite a bit.

* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Flonne telling off Vulcanus in a lengthy [[Kirk Summation]], to the applause of Laharl, Etna, and the Earth Defense Force.

* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Flonne’s ultimate decision. See [[To Be Lawful or Good]] below.

* [[Spirited Young Lady]]: She is physically and mentally 15, at least middle class, confident, [[The Cuckoolander Was Right|not as dumb as you think she is]], a hardcore [[Toku]] [[Otaku]], independent, self-sufficient, honest and has a defiant side, but tries her best to be lawful.

* [[Tareme Eyes]]: To counter Laharl’s [[Tsurime Eyes]].

* [[To Be Lawful or Good]]: Flonne decides over the course of the games if she is going to be a dutiful angel and follow the laws of Celestia, or if she is going to fight for the rights and recognition of demons and humans to be considered equals to angels. {{spoiler|She settles on the latter and fights for it even at the cost of her life.}} .

* [[Token Good Teammate]]: She originally joins Laharl's group to understand demons and teach them about love.

* [[Was Actually Friendly]]: Flonne finds out that demons are not as bad as the other angels would have her believe, though she had her doubts to begin with.

* [[Woman in White]]: White outfit and [[The Chosen One|very important]], yet a very [[Nice Girl]].

* [[You Are Worth Hell]]: {{spoiler|By the end of the first game, Flonne's life is even worth Prinnydom to Laharl.}}.

{{quote| The foppish, self-proclaimed "Dark Adonis" who has a penchant for [[Gratuitous French|random French]], Vyers was quickly dubbed "Mid-Boss" by Laharl just before he had his ass handed to him in a humiliating defeat.

His Adonic Fury, his signature skill, summons three other copies of himself to gang up on a single foe while his Super Adonis from ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' creates numerous copies that all magichange into a swords for him to throw. {{spoiler|Apparently, it is an ability that Krichevskoy had that carried over when he became Vyers. In ''[[Disgaea 4: a Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|Disgaea 4 aA Promise Unforgotten]]'', he has a suped-up version of Adonic Fury and before the fight, he creates three doppelgangers to aid him.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Doting Parent]]: We never see Laharl spend much time with Krichevskoy, but according to Etna, he thought of Laharl’s best until the very end, even though Laharl outright claimed he hated his old man. He also held great faith in Laharl, going so far as to put Etna and Flonne in charge of looking out for him to ensure that he succeeds, even after his death.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: As of ''Disgaea 4'', he has regained the power he had as Krichevskoy and is going by his former name.}}.

{{quote| On Earth, he was a courageous and celebrated hero that descends from a long line of equally courageous and celebrated heroes. In the Netherworld, he's Laharl's recently acquired and usually mistreated slave thanks to an ill-placed bet on his victory. Even so, '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' is a [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Large Ham]] with a complete inability to keep quiet. As such, he will give his all in ''anything'' he does.}}

Tropes associated with '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''':

* [[The Big Guy]]: He's handy with axes to rach up huge damage.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Pretty much a blatant copy of [[Flash Gordon (Comiccomic Stripstrip)|Flash Gordon]].

* [[Twinkle Smile]]: Has one in his portrait.

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: - EpisodeChapter 12: {{spoiler|Whenwhen the EDF arrives to conquer the Netherworld, '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' stubbornly holds the assumption that they came to rescue the Defenders of Earth despite the overwhelming evidence of them [[Unwitting Pawn|being used]], and when Jennifer tried to directly warn him, he instead decides to dismiss Jennifer as his Assistant (causing Jennifer's [[Heroic BSOD]]) only to completely regret it a [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|few moments]] [[My God, What Have I Done?|later]].}}.

** In the [[Disgaea Novels|novels]], she quite noticeably ships Laharl and Flonne, even though her own daughter is in love him.
