Line 9:

{{spoiler|Fiona is a bearer of Azoth, the mystical essence of life. Everyone except Debilitas wants this for their own reasons, and they're more than willing to kill her for it. The mark on her back isn't a graphical quirk, it's actually a symbol that shows that she has Azoth within her}}.

⚫

* [[Actual Pacifist]]/[[Reluctant Warrior]]: "Why must I kill just to keep myself alive? I hate this place. I really do."

* [[Action Survivor]]

** [[Action Survivor]]

** [[Action Girl]]: A very, ''very'', deconstructed example: she ''can'' fight her stalkers head on, but due to her lack of athleticism, her kicks are extremely weak (only strengthened by tougher boots) and her shoving tends to leave her exhausted, so it's not recommended. Pretty much, she's an awful fighter.

{{spoiler|Being mean to Hewie will cause him to die and give you the worst ending in the game}}.

* [[Canine Companion]]: Hewie serves as Fiona's primary means of defense and is also required for solving many of the castle's puzzles. At other times, he's used to snag items that are in areas which are inaccessible for Fiona.

* [[Canine Companion]]

* {{spoiler|[[Death by Newbery Medal]]}} A requirement to get Ending D.

* [[Evil-Detecting Dog]]: He warns Fiona before Debilitas attacks. He'll also bark and growl if there's a stalker or death trap nearby.

* {{spoiler|[[For Want of a Nail]]}}: Played with in the worst ending.

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: Acts as this to Fiona.

* [[Pet Interface]]

* [[Pet Interface]]: As per the [[Canine Companion]] entry.

Line 48:

* [[Adult Child]]

* [[And Call Him George]]: Thinks Fiona is a doll and his first reaction is to hug her, which can result in him incidentally crushing her body due to his strength.

* [[And Call Him George]]

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Unlike every other stalker in the game, Debilitas is not out for murder and self-gain. He just likes playing with dolls, and seems to think Fiona is a much better toy than what he already owns. Think of him as a child who does not know his own strength, and has yet to learn how not to break his playthings.

* [[Anti-Villain]]

* [[Bear Hug]]: This is how he kills Fiona if he catches her, hugging her until her ribcage snaps.

* [[Bear Hug]]

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}: Should Fiona {{spoiler|spare him}}.

Line 59:

{{spoiler|Daniella is a homunculus. Her master, Lorenzo, created her to be the "perfect woman". However, she is unable to feel pain (which explains the blood on her fingers), has no sense of taste, and cannot feel pleasure. With feelings of being incomplete, Daniella is driven to insanity. She screams at her reflection, and wants Fiona's Azoth to be a complete being... even if it means cutting out Fiona's womb while she's still alive. She tends to swing back and forth between doing her duties as a maid, and has an extremely unnerving laugh}}.

* [[Ax Crazy]]: She could quite easily be a contender for one of the most psychotic female characters ''ever'' in gaming. She's got a long list of mental issues that combine to make her horrifying.

* [[Ax Crazy]]

* {{spoiler|[[Become a Real Boy]]: Her ultimate goal. Except... she is already a real woman and not a homunculus as she believes herself to be, according to [[Word of God]]. And the most depressing part of Daniella's backstory is how, due to her upbringing, drug experiments, and abuse from Riccardo and Lorenzo, she never comes to realize that she was in fact human all along and didn't need to hunt down Fiona in a desperate attempt to be "complete"}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Become a Real Boy]]}}

* [[Creepy Housekeeper]]

* [[Creepy Housekeeper]]: Before she goes bonkers, this is the impression one will get from her.

* [[Giggling Villain]]

* [[Giggling Villain]]: In her manic phases, and at the prospect of gaining Azoth.

* [[Laughing Mad]]

* {{spoiler|[[Peaceful in Death]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Cloning Blues]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Disney Villain Death]]}}

Line 85:

* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]

* [[Mad Artist]]: A minor example. An [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vobed6ADaWw&feature=related optional cutscene] (at 6:24) reveals him to be a rather good pianist and a sculptor to boot.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]:

** Gets combined with [[Stalker with a Test Tube]] when his motives are revealed.

Line 95:

Line 94:

{{spoiler|Lorenzo is actually a genius (if mad) alchemist who made an elixir of life to cheat death. He tried to make clones of himself, all of them failing to produce Azoth except Ugo, Fiona's father. Ugo, against Lorenzo's wishes, married a woman named Ayla and left the castle, eventually fathering Fiona. Fate drew the family back towards Belli Castle, and the car accident sets the events of the game in motion. Lorenzo just wants to kill Fiona for her Azoth}}.
