Eternal Sonata/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]

* [[Rummage Sale Reject]]: Even the royals.

* [[Cool Big Sis|Cool Big Bro]]: To Beat, March, and Salsa at certain times. [[Jerkass|Other times....]]

* [[Friend to All Children]]: At least in the [[PSPlay Station 3]] version.

* [[White -Haired Pretty Boy|Grey-Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[The Hero]]: Of the initial [[Five -Man Band]].

* [[Jerkass]]: Some of his actions are really grating, especially since he's the only one in the whole party who acts like this.

* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: More pronounced when he mocks Fréderic, and blows off atoning for his various crimes, forcing the responsibility on to Beat and co. to go and hang out with Polka.

* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]:

* [[Supporting Protagonist]]: To Polka. Though most of the time, he's the onscreen avatar, for some reason.

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[The Chick]]: Of the initial [[Five -Man Band]]. After a few more people join, she shares this role with Claves and to an extent Beat.

* [[Combat Medic]]: Later on, she can become this.

* [[Plucky Girl]]: Usually, though the game makes it apparent that she isn't always that plucky.

* [[The Pollyanna]]: [[Subverted]] in that she keeps up the act for the sake of the rest of the party. The weight of her condition does bring her down, but she only really angsts about it when she's alone with her mother.

* [[Red Mage]]: Subverted, as while she can use magic and heal proficiently, she doesn't do quite enough damage to fully take this trope until much later.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Acts happy-go-lucky around the party, but is shown to be rather frustrated with her lot in life when she's alone with her mom.

=== [[Fryderyk Chopin|Frederic Francois Chopin]] ===

* [[Big Good]]: {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|At least until the end of the game.]]}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Final Boss]]}}

* [[Sharp -Dressed Man]]

* [[The Smart Guy]]: Of the initial [[Five -Man Band]]. After more people join, he shares this role with March.

* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Most of his attacks classify as [[Light 'Em Up]], [[Casting a Shadow]], [[Shock and Awe]], and [[Playing Withwith Fire]].

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: He may be a nice kid and all, but don't get on his bad side if you know what's good for you. {{spoiler|Tuba learned this the hard way.}}.

* [[First -Person Snapshooter]]

* [[The Lancer]]: In the initial [[Five -Man Band]]. Later, he still retains this role, but he also kind of turns into [[The Chick]].

* [[More Dakka]]: Subverted, even though he can still shoot a good amount of times at a distance during his turn.

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: In the [[PSPlay Station 3]] version, one of his secret outfits is... [[Sailor Fuku|a schoolgirl uniform?]]?

* [[The Big Girl]]: In the initial [[Five -Man Band]] set-up. Later, she retains this role, but also shares it with fellow [[Mighty Glacier]] Jazz.

* [[Mighty Glacier]]: A case of [[Shown Their Work]]. It takes a ''lot'' of strength to be a competent archer. Though quite a few of her weapons have a side-effect of increasing her movement speed in battle...

* [[Team Pet]]: Her pet bunny, Arco.

* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: [[Tsundere|A mild case with Beat.]] .

* [[Bratty Half -Pint]]

* [[Fragile Speedster]]: After reaching levelLevel 35 or so, give her the Werewolf Choker accessory. Watch as every other turn, the turn indicator states: 'Now in turn: Salsa. Next in turn: Salsa.'

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Red to March's blue.

* [[Unusual Ears]]: Both she and her sister have pointed ears. It's heavily implied that both are [[Not Quite Human]], though exactly ''what'' they are is never stated specifically (perhaps some sort of elves?).

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue to Salsa's red.

* [[Shy Blue -Haired Girl]]

* [[Unusual Ears]]: Both she and her sister have pointed ears. It's heavily implied that both are [[Not Quite Human]], though exactly ''what'' they are is never stated specifically (perhaps some sort of elves?).

* [[BFSBig Freaking Sword]]

* [[DCD. C. Douglas]]: His English VA.

* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: He actually {{spoiler|slaps Falsetto}} in one scene, {{spoiler|but he hugs her soon afterwards.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Becoming the Mask]]: She was a spy for Forte, but fell in love with Jazz.}}.

* [[Hot Chick Withwith a Sword]]

* [[Magikarp Power]]: Starts quite weak, particularly compared to the rest of the party at this period, and {{spoiler|after she is revived, she's at the exact same level she left at, meaning there's probably a difference of about 30-40 levels between her and the rest of your party.}}. However, she has some of the best stat growths in the game, and at high levels, is pretty damn powerful.

* [[Mini -Dress of Power]]

* [[Rose -Haired Girl]]

* [[Something About a Rose]]

* [[Stocking Filler]]

* {{spoiler|[[TheViolet MoleEyes]]}}

* [[She's Got Legs]]:

** [[Stocking Filler]]

* {{spoiler|[[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]}}

* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]

* [[Brown Eyes]]

* [[Cam Clarke]]: Seems to channel [[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Kratos Aurion]] sometimes, too.

* [[The Pollyanna]]

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Works with [[Rebel Leader|Jazz]] and is willing to work with the party to stop [[Big Bad|Waltz]].

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: [[What an Idiot!|Even if his plans aren't really that great]].

* [[Stone Wall]]

* [[The White Prince]]

* [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Princesses]]: She's the princess of {{spoiler|Forte}}... even though they're ruled by a count.

* [[Guest Star Party Member]]: In the [[PSPlay Station 3]] version. She comes back near the end of the game.

* [[Idiot Hair]]: She isn't an idiot herself, but amusingly enough, it sticks up through her tiny little crown.

* [[The Medic]]

* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]}}

* [[Pimped -Out Dress]]

* [[Squishy Wizard]]: But not too squishy. While her HP is only just above Polka's at comparable levels, her defense is second only to that of her fiancée, Crescendo, and her Noble White robe adds a further 160 points to her defense.

* [[Stephanie Sheh]]: Is basically a less haughty and more level-headed [[Tales of the Abyss|Natalia]].

* [[Super Speed]]: Noble White, an armor that only be equipped to her, increases her speed stat by 20%. Even unaugmented, at the highest levels, her speed stat is the highest, exceeding even that of other characters that are known for speed, including Falsetto and Salsa.

* [[White Magician Girl]]: She looks the part and has a move that heals herself... [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in that she's a lot stronger than she looks.

* [[Winter Royal Lady]]: While she's in [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World|Baroque]].

* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]

* [[Evil Genius|Evil]] [[Teen Genius]]: The mastermind of the whole mineral powder operation is only 16 years old.

* [[Jerkass]]: {{spoiler|Turning his whole country into a bunch of mindless slaves certainly counts towards his evil street cred.}}.

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Outlined in his speech in the Double Reed Tower in the [[PSPlay Station 3]] version. "...all human begins are fragile. Especially those who lack power. They die quite easily. And when you die, it's over. There's just no meaning to it. .... That's why I must have power. Enough absolute power to carve my existence into the very fabric of this world."

* [[Violet Eyes]]

* [[Cool Old Guy]]: To an extent.

* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|He literally becomes one after he transforms right before you fight him and Count Waltz.}}.

* [[Evil Chancellor]]: [[Subverted]] in that while he works for the [[Big Bad]], he's the only reasonable member of the [[Five -Bad Band]].

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Of the bad guys;: notably, he's the only one who isn't [[Ax Crazy]].

* [[Token Good Teammate]]: To an extent. He's still loyal to Waltz, but he doesn't seem quite as utterly evil as the rest of the bad guys.

* [[Bald of Evil]]: Except for that kickin' mohawk.

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Is completely and utterly insane, yet he's also one of Waltz's right hand men.

* {{spoiler|[[Cruel and Unusual Death]]}}: {{spoiler|He gets eaten by a giant puffball. But only in the [[PSPlay Station 3]] version.}}.

* [[The Evil Genius]] [[Genius Bruiser|Bruiser]]: Maybe? He [[Wild Mass Guessing|might]] be a [[Mad Scientist]], but really this is only because he's the odd man out of the [[Five -Bad Band]]. Either way, he's still a force to be reckoned with in battle.

* [[High -Class Glass]]: In the [[Play Station 3]] [[Updated Rerelease]] of the game, it earns him the mean nickname "three-eyed freak" from Salsa. Even March uses it, which is unusual, given her [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]] status to Salsa's Red Oni. Naturally, it really tees Fugue off. "Little girl, I hope you aren't referring to me."

* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: The first battle against him. It's a level 8 Polka and Frederic against him, and he can basically kill them both in one hit. [[Sarcasm Mode|GEE, I WONDER IF YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WIN.]].

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: There's no analogue for Japan (surprisingly enough), but he's got a katana. And given the nature of the world, it's unlikely Chopin ever saw one, so... yeah. He's an anomaly. [[Rule of Cool]]. That is all.

** [[RuleLarge of CoolHam]]. That is all.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Though she comes off as a bit more conniving than purely insane.

* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: In the [[Bonus Dungeon]].}}.

** {{spoiler|[[Bonus Boss]]}}

* [[Dual -Wielding]]

* [[The Dark Chick]] :

* [[Fragile Speedster]]: At least compared to the other members of the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]. She's much faster than the rest of your party (save for Falsetto), and uses her extra turns to dish out damage to make up for the fact that she doesn't hit that hard.

* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: {{spoiler|Basically, her reason for killing Claves.}}.
