King Arthur/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Odd Name Out]]: The children of King Lot and Morgause are Gawain, Gaheris, Gareth, and Agravaine. Guess which one is evil.

* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted. There are several women named Elaine, and there are several different women who occassionally share the title "Lady of the Lake". There are also two Ectors, Arthur's foster-father Ector and Lancelot's half-brother Ector de Maris, and two men named Bors, King Bors and his son Bors of the Round Table.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Variant spellings of names abound.

 

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Too many alternate spellings to mention here. Gwynyvere, Guenevere, etc.

* [[Tsundere]]

* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: Her affair with Lancelot is usually kind of a "bad move" for the round table's morale.

 

* [[Fatal Flaw]]: His illicit affair with Guinevere proves to be the undoing of the Round Table itself.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]

* [[The Lancer]]: [[Trope Codifier]].

* [[Sailor Earth]]: He wasn't introduced into the myths until the twelfth century, with [[Chretien De Troyes (Creator)|Chretien De Troyes]]'s ''Lancelot, Knight of the Cart''.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: In later versions where he merely exists to get beaten up.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: His role in later stories is severely reduced.

* [[Magic Knight]]: In his earliest incarnations.

* [[Never Live It Down]]: When Percival first showed up to Camelot, a woman who had previously sworn never to laugh unless she saw the man who would be the best knight in the world. When Percival arrives, she laughs. Kay is so insulted that he slaps her. Throughout the rest of the story, Percival's defeated foes keep coming back to Camelot to tell of how Percival was still trying to avenge her honor (basically to rub in how much of a douche Kay was).
