Line 11:
Put simply, they are you, the players.
Plotwise, only one specific Milletian is experiencing the conflicts of Erinn firsthand.<ref>While it has remained ambiguous for some time in the actual game's history, Generation 16 makes this explicitly clear that this is intended to be the case.</ref> In this sense, they are referred simply as ''the'' Milletian. Each playable race has a tale that serves as their origin story, while the generation story lines afterward can be experienced by all of them.
<!-- %%When said patch update comes stateside, change visible text and Hot Tip text to reflect the change. -->
Tropes associated with the Milletian:
* [[Born
* [[Heroic Mime]]: For Chapter 1: ''Advent of the Goddess''. In lieu of actually having to speak, the characters will often parrot what The Milletian is feeling or "saying."
* [[Resurrective Immortality]]: Even when they do not have plans to be reborn into a new body, Milletians will not suffer a permanent death when they are killed like the Tuatha de Danann. They can simply revive either at the spot or elsewhere with little or no lasting injury.

=== Nao Mariota Pryderi ===
{{quote|
The [[Series Mascot|mascot]] of the game and the first character met by the player, Nao "lives" in the Soul Stream and guides souls from other worlds into the world of Erinn. {{spoiler|She is actually Mari reborn. After her death, she came into the service of the Goddess Morrighan.}} Nao also gives players presents (Accessories) on their birthday. You can return the favor by gifting her with dresses found in-game.
[[Trope
* [[The Archer]]: More so than in her {{spoiler|previous life, now that she's lost most of her tomboyishness.}}
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Type 1. She's somewhat self-conscious of her endowment.
* [[Healing Hands]]: She can resurrect you for free and bless all of your equipment, [[Bribing Your Way to Victory|if you have the money, that is.]]
* [[Jiggle Physics]]: Of every female in Mabinogi, only Nao has them.
Line 38:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Oh yeah.
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: She actually ''urges'' you to use her first name because she knows how hard her full name is to pronounce.
* [[Pals
* [[
* [[She
* [[Simple Staff]]: Actually, a shepherd's crook, just for added symbolism.
* [[Tomboy]]: Used to be one. Occasionally, remnants of this come out, usually prompting a hasty apology from Nao.

=== Morrighan ===
{{quote|
Goddess of War and Vengeance, Morrighan is one of the most well-known of the Gods by humanity in Erinn. Despite being a War Goddess, Morrighan is not a violent or vicious Goddess, and is, in fact, known more for her love in humanity and protection of warriors; she has often aided humanity in wars in the past, and helps warriors to obtain revenge. In the first war of Mag Tuireadh, Morrighan directly intervened in the combat when the Human forces were about to be destroyed by the Fomor army. She held the entire army off, alone, until she was eventually forced to sacrifice her own body to seal the passage, turning herself to stone for the sake of Humanity. The Goddess Statues built in each dungeon are in reverence for her.
Line 71:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: She ''is'' the Goddess of War and Revenge, and will prove it if you anger her. {{spoiler|She's also highly paranoid by nature and eliminates anything she perceives as a threat to the Gods. Whether or not she's decided to overlook you is still up in the air.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: She's made to see this way through G1, but it's actually Cichol posing as her. She actually ''is'' the [[Big Bad]] of Chapter 4, though.}}
** {{spoiler|[[Well
* [[Big Good]]: Although the player does '''all''' [[
* {{spoiler|[[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Chapter 3 begins to show the dark side to her character. It's a prelude to her being the [[Big Bad]] of Chapter 4.}}
* [[But Now I Must Go]]: {{spoiler|After her plan succeeds in G16, she opts to leave Erinn unless something particularly dangerous for it comes up.}}
* [[Call to Adventure]]: She's the one issuing them, by way of [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone]].
* [[Chained
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Double Subversion; Morrighan has black hair and wings, but wears white clothing. {{spoiler|Cichol does the opposite.}}
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Her wings are black, but she's the good one. {{spoiler|Until Chapter 4.}}
* [[Deus Exit Machina]]: Something will ''always'' [[
* {{spoiler|[[Easily Forgiven]]: Whether or not she is is up to you; it's decided by your decision to either become a Dark Knight after Generation 3, the antithesis of what She intended for you to become, or remain a Paladin, as she originally wanted.}}
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Unless she's fighting.
** [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: She's downright ''scary'' when she opens her eyes. Not only does she has this but she drops her usual calm expression for a much more hateful one.
* [[Flash Step]]: She has the power to teleport in-game.
* [[
* [[God Is Good]]: Morrighan is just as much known among the people for her love for humanity and her eternal protection for them as she is known as the Goddess of War and Vengeance. She sacrifices her body destroying an entire army of Fomors single-handed to ensure the humans who were about to be destroyed could escape with her lives. {{spoiler|Despite Cichol's attempts to make it seem otherwise. She gives no mercy to anything she views as a threat to the Gods though, and this aspect of her character seems to be leading to her becoming a villain in the future.}}
** {{spoiler|In the end, it's ambiguous whichever side of good or bad she stands on. In the long run, she has Erinn and the Tuatha de Danans' best intentions at heart, but her methods can be downright cruel.}}
Line 91:
* [[Leitmotif]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJxdb596qNw Goddess With Black Wings]''
* {{spoiler|[[Manipulative Bastard]]: Uses various factions to eliminate her enemies without her having to put any effort into it of her own.}}
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Not as much as Nao, but she ''does'' have the [[Sexy Backless Outfit]], and her outfit allows for some ''serious'' [[
* {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice Job Breaking Erinn Goddess]]:Nice job causing the whole Fomor War, Morri.}}
* [[Put
* [[Ravens and Crows]]: Her animal motif.
* [[Run, Don't Walk]]: Reversed: Morrighan can't be bothered to run, even when in combat. Luckily, she can [[Flash Step]] instead.
* [[Sealed Good in
* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]].
* [[Taken for Granite]]: Happens in the backstory. {{spoiler|She seems to have gotten over it.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Well
* [[We Used to Be Friends]]: {{spoiler|G15 reveals she and Cichol were once very close.}}
* [[Winged Humanoid]].
* [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Hell Goddess]]: {{spoiler|Cichol calls her out at the end of G3 on not ever telling humanity know that Erinn is actually Tir Na Nog, an the Other World is simply an alternative wasteland and not the true paradise, and for using Milletians to fight the war between good and evil. She claims she has her reasons, but hasn't yet explained them. Whether or not your character forgives her is determined by whether you become a Dark Knight or remain a Paladin. She got called out again by Cichol in the backstory for refusing to seal the gap in Erinn.}}
* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: Happens two known times, and neither [[Sealed Good in
=== Cichol ===
{{quote|
(Cichol, to {{spoiler|Shakespeare}}) }}
Line 118:
Tropes associated with Cichol:
* {{spoiler|[[
* [[Absolute Xenophobe]]: Really comes across this way; everything but the Fomors are Cichol's enemies.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Really begins to seem this way by the time of G16; his intention is to ''purfy'' Erinn with rivers of blood.
Line 127:
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]].
* [[Dark Is Edgy]]: His {{spoiler|Demi God Skill}} Shadow Spirit involves [[Your Soul Is Mine|sucking out a dead being's soul]] to be later used to attack living ones with.
* [[Humans Are
* [[In the Hood]]: The characters claim he actually is wearing a mask, but the player can't see even that.
* [[Kick the Son of
* [[Kill All Humans]].
* {{spoiler|[[My Death Is Just the Beginning]]: He didn't plan to die, but by giving his powers to the player character, he manages to ensure that the Fomor race is saved from the threat of Neamhain and the Caliburn from beyond the grave anyways.}}
Line 135:
* [[Papa Wolf]]: To his Fomor followers. {{spoiler|He aids the player in Generation 11 in order to protect them from being destroyed by the Caliburn.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Strange Bedfellows]]: Neamhain's actions in Generation 11 force him to side with the player for once.}}
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: If he's talking to somebody He doesn't like, Hh's usually saying something like this.
* {{spoiler|[[Unexplained Recovery]]: Shows up again without explanation after Generation 12 ends.}}
* [[We Used to Be Friends]]: {{spoiler|G15 reveals he and Morrighan were once very close.}}
Line 147:
=== Tarlach ===
{{quote|
The leader of the Three Warriors, and an accomplished Wizard (known in Mabinogi as Druids) who went to look for Tir Na Nog to rescue Morrighan. Tarlach's sister was killed by Fomors, causing him to become obsessed with finding Tir Na Nog, which is known to be a paradise where wishes are granted. When his friend Ruairi received a prophetic vision from Morrighan, begging for help, the two set out to find Tir Na Nog, and were joined along the way by the young Archer Mari. Unfortunately, their efforts ended in failure and the three haven't been heard from since.
Line 158:
* [[Animorphism]]: Changes into a Bear during the day.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: {{spoiler|Manages to avenge his previous failures in G1 by completely saving the day for you in G3, first by saving Morrighan, and second by stopping Morgant from killing you.}}
* [[De
* [[A Wizard Did It|A Druid Did It]]: How {{spoiler|he got his powers back}} in G3 goes totally unexplained, which is even more mind boggling since he goes right back to living up north afterward. [[A Wizard Did It|Nao Did It? Morrighan Did It?]]
** Then again, {{spoiler|it he HAD been "resting" for quite a while. It's possible he COULD use magic, but doing so would destabilize his body. Again.}}
* [[
* [[
* [[Heroic Self
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: "Wields" a Mandolin, except it works just about as well as one could except a Guitar to work when you're fighting evil monsters: not at all. The fact that its on his sub-weapon slot should be a hint.
* [[
* [[Leitmotif]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXwmgih5GzA The Legendary Magician]''.
* [[Overrated and Underleveled]]: Tarlach's spell repertoire is depressingly lacking considering how much the storyline hypes him up as a master druid. Partially explainable in that abilities were all capped much lower at the time that Generation 1 was developed, and advanced spells hadn't even been made yet.
▲* [[Power Trio]]: Super-ego, to Ruairi's Id and Mari's Ego; the cool headed leader of the group.
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: Tarlach swears revenge against {{spoiler|Morrighan after Cichol tricks him into believing She had betrayed humanity and caused the death of his friends.}} After learning the truth he gets over it.
* [[Robe and Wizard Hat]]: He has the robe, but not the hat.
* [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids]]: Has a period of this before he learns the truth behind the events of G1. Afterward his faith in {{spoiler|Morrighan}} is restored.
* [[Squishy Wizard|Squishy Druid]]: Unfortunately, you have to solo an RP dungeon as him. It's a test of patience.
** You will die at least ''fifteen times'' in said solo, considering that most of those monsters can kill you in two hits. (When you get to fighting {{spoiler|Kristell}}, though, it's surprisingly easy, as it only takes two hits.)
=== Ruairi ===
A friend of Tarlach's, and one of the Three Warriors. Ruairi received [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone]] from Morrighan, urging him to come to Tir Na Nog and rescue Her. [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!|The fact that Morrighan is beautiful comes up for him quite often...]] Ruairi was the swordsman of the group, and excelled at Melee combat, yet too was lost when the expedition for Tir Na Nog failed, and is presumed dead. His younger brother is Rian, the current lord of Emain Macha.
{{spoiler|Ruairi finally resurfaces during the G2 storyline, where he has lost a lot of his happy demeanor as a result of the events at Tir Na Nog. [[The Dragon]] Morgant, and his daughter Triona, took care of Ruairi, who was comatose since the incident. During his time with Morgant, Ruairi came to trust in the Dark Lord, and when it seemed that Rian, the last living person Ruairi cared for any more (as he believed Tarlach and Mari to be dead) had also died, he pulled a [[Face Heel Turn]] and became a Dark Knight like Morgant.}}
Line 189:
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Good Is Dumb]]: Just a slightly above average swordsman type during the RP dungeons. Beats your character around like a red-headed stepchild during <s>pretty much</s> ''all'' of G2 and G3, and even stays toe-to-toe with '''Cichol''' for a while.}}
* [[
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Just guess what he wields.
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: Turns back to the heroic side when he learns Tarlach and Mari are alive, and that Cichol doesn't plan to keep them that way.}}
* [[Idiot Hero]]: At first.
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: Ruairi makes it pretty clear just ''[[Distracted
* [[Missed the Call]]: Aside from the player, Ruairi is the other person Morrighan asks for help. It doesn't end well.
* {{spoiler|[[Out of Focus]]: Doesn't contribute much to the overall story of G1, Ruairi makes up for it in G2 and G3, and even continues to appear in G8 while Tarlach has long since settled into the background.}}
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Ruairi's father is not a pleasant guy.
▲* [[Power Trio]]: The Id of the group, to Tarlach's Super-ego and Mari's Ego. The carefree swordsman who was enamored by the beautiful Goddess.
* [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone]]: Its how he got his [[Missed the Call|mistaken]] call for adventure.
* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!|She Has Boobs I Must Obey]]: Ruairi doesn't hide very well the fact that he's hoping for a reward from the beautiful Goddess.
* {{spoiler|[[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids]]: Becomes noticeably more serious and cynical by the time of his reappearance.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!]]: Once he loses Rian, the only person he had left, he demands Morrighan take pity on him and set things right for him. When She fails to deliver, he makes a [[Face Heel Turn]].}}

=== Mari ===
A young archer girl who traveled with Tarlach and Ruairi in the hopes that the Goddess could restore her [[Laser
{{spoiler|She is the daughter of Mores and Sheila. Her mother sent her away as an infant and sealed her memory in order to protect her, just before she lost her own life. The village elder of Tir Chonaill, Duncan, took her in and raised her as his granddaughter.}}
Line 213:
Tropes associated with Mari:
* [[A
* [[The Archer]]: Has the skills, but not the personality.
* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to
* [[Bratty Half
* [[Fan Girl]]: Over both Tarlach and Ranald.
* {{spoiler|[[Happily Adopted]]: Although it's not made clear whether or not she knows Duncan isn't her real grandfather.}}
* [[Laser
* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: Her bow was given to her by Duncan.
* {{spoiler|[[My Death Is Only the Beginning]]: She didn't actually ''plan'' for it, but having her killed was likely Cichol's most disastrous mistake He could have ever made.}}
Line 225:
=== Duncan ===
{{quote|
The town chief of Tir Chonaill, and the first NPC met by a human player starting in Uladh upon arriving in Erinn proper. He assists new players in settling in by providing easy initial quests, and inadvertently sets the player upon the beginning of the G1 storyline. Later, his wisdom and experience assists the player numerous times through the G1 and G3 storyline.
Line 244:
=== Kristell ===
{{quote|
The Priestess of the Dunbarton branch Church of Lymilark. {{spoiler|In truth, she's an ex-Succubus who became Human out of her love for Tarlach. Her knowledge of Fomors and their language proves invaluable through Chapter One, and she provides the means for the player to reach Tir Na Nog to save Morrighan. She also saved Tarlach's life after his failed attempt to rescue Morrighan, and nursed him back to partial health before he left her.}}
Line 256:
* {{spoiler|[[Horny Devils]]: A formor one. During the 2010 Valentines Day event, she actually loans out her old outfit to female characters, letting ''them'' be [[Horny Devils]] for three days.}}
* [[Love Redeems]]: {{spoiler|Her feelings for Tarlach prompted her [[Heel Face Turn]].}}
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Subverted - Kristell's not dangerous at all. {{spoiler|Instead, her red eyes serve as foreshadowing that she's an Ex-Fomor.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains]]: See [[Good Costume Switch]] above.}}
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: {{spoiler|Her experiences with adventurers that had come to Rabbie Dungeon before Tarlach lead her to believe love was about dominating your partner. With Tarlach's help she eventually realized what it was really about.}}
* [[Yandere]]: {{spoiler|A gentler former example, mostly caused by her confusion on what love really meant. She attempted to defeat Tarlach during his fifth journey in Rabbie Dungeon in an attempt to cause [[Defeat Means Friendship|Defeat Means Love]]}}.
=== Mores ===
A peerless master druid, Tarlach's mentor, and a hero of the Second Fomor War, alongisde Lugh Lavada, the legendary Knight of Light. He gave his life to defeat an arch-wizard among the Fomors, and is remembered to this day as a hero. {{spoiler|He's Mari's father. In truth, he was betrayed by his close friends and Ruairi's father: the Lord of Emain Macha at the time. He was rendered comatose for several months and left in a dungeon to die, during which time his wife was killed and his daughter spirited away. When he awoke, he was shown the events that happened while he was away and convinced into joining the Fomor's cause.}}
Line 273:
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Fake Defector]]: Subverted - he ''was'' a genuine defector at first, but became this during his [[Face Heel Turn|Turn.]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Humans Are
* [[Old Master]].
* {{spoiler|[[Senseless Sacrifice]]: He ''tries'' to bring Cichol down with him, but he fails pretty badly. The final straw is when he pulls a [[Taking the Bullet]] for you, when your character literally ''cannot'' die.}}
Line 283:
=== Morgant/Dark Lord ===
{{quote|
If you're curious, he's referring to {{spoiler|Ruairi, Mari and Tarlach,}} in order. Or if you want to take a different interpretation, {{spoiler|Mari, Ruairi, and Tarlach}}.
Line 294:
* [[The Battle Didn't Count]]: ''Both'' times in G1. Against Tarlach's crew, he simply gets back up like nothing happened, and against you, he simply decided to allow the [[Eldritch Abomination]] to have his way with you.
* [[Cool Sword]]: {{spoiler|The sword he once wielded as Lugh. He gives it to Ruairi at the start of G3.}}
* [[Cutscene Power to
* [[The Dragon]]
* {{spoiler|[[Dragon

* [[Mind Rape]]: Is the one responsible for bringing out every other [[Face Heel Turn]] in Chapter One.
* [[Only Known
* [[Tin Tyrant]].
=== Dougal ===
{{quote|
The sole survivor and inhabitant of the Other World's Tir Chonaill, Dougal offers some basic supplies to the player upon their arrival, and directs them in how to find Goddess Morrighan. {{spoiler|In truth, he is the soul of the Glas Ghaibhleann found in G1, forced out of his body and into a Human one by Mores and Cichol so that it could be more easily controlled. He helps the player to thwart Cichol's plans in the hope he can return to his proper body if it were defeated. Even after G1 ends, however, Dougal can always be found in the same place, for reasons unknown.}}
Line 317:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Generally if you try to ask about normal town infrastructure that the alternate Tir Chonaill blatantly lacks.
* [[Disabled Badass]]: At first, it seems he's crippled because of his bad leg. {{spoiler|In truth it's because he's been foced out of his proper body.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Did Mom Just Have Tea
* {{spoiler|[[Eldritch Abomination]]: The soul of one, technically.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Grand Theft Me]]: In a bit of a switch, ''nothing'' takes his place inside his proper body; the Glas Ghaibhleann is simply left a soulless, mindless monster.}}
* [[
* [[Last of His Kind]]: The last human alive in the alternate Tir Chonaill. {{spoiler|Or not.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Puny Earthlings]]: Dougal is said to come from another world, and finds his current human body too weak for his tastes. Otherwise he doesn't seem to dislike humans any more than the next person.}}
Line 326:
=== Esras ===
{{quote|
''Her skin is so pale that it seems almost transparent, yet her hair is shiny and full of life.''
''She has a confident manner and her voice rings out in a clear tone.''
''As soon as she feels my gaze, she stares back cooly at me with her lavender eyes.'' }}
Esras is the Prime Minister and Druid of Emain Macha, and is currently the caretaker of the current lord, Rian, Ruairi's younger brother. Due to his dwindling heath however, much of the administration of the city is left in Esras' hands. The player meets her early in G2, where she provides the player the means to begin their training as a Paladin. {{spoiler|In truth, Esras is a Necromancer, and was most likely the one responsible behind the death of Rian and Ruairi's father. She resurrected Rian as a sad half-dead shell of his former self to continue her hold on the city. She began to use the Paladins to steal resources from other lands, most notably Bangor, by making them hunt down Kobold Miners, so that she could use the Gold to create Tabhartus, the guardian of Lia Fail, so that she could use Lia Fail to become a God.}}
{{spoiler|The Player faces off with her at the end of G2, and after succeeding Lugh Lavada as a True Paladin, defeats Tabhartus and Esras, but not before being framed as the murderer of Rian in the eyes of Ruairi as a result of Esras' machinations, prompting him to declares [[

A traveling merchant who wanders Uladh, selling a collection of strange wears.

Line 373:
=== Triona ===
A mysterious young girl who nurses Ruairi back to health after his fateful defeat in the other world. Introduced in G2 alongside Ruairi. She is Morgant's daughter, and the cause of the Fomor Raid on Emain Macha; Redire found her as an infant in Math Dungeon, and Morgant laid siege to the city to get her back. During the course of the story she falls in love with Ruairi, as he is the only person to accept her.

* [[Missing Mom]]: Her mother {{spoiler|who was later revealed to be Neamhain}} is nowhere to be seen.
* [[Precocious Crush]]: Falls for Ruairi during the course of G2 and G3.

* [[Cruel Mercy]]: Takes Ruairi away to sacrifice him as the conduit in the summoning of the Golden Dragon, under the pretense that Ruairi is the most miserable human in the world and that it would be a [[Mercy Kill]]. {{spoiler|Averted, however; the ritual to summon the Golden Dragon does ''not'' require the conduit to die.}}
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: He killed ''The King Of the Gods'', and ate his sword. For comparison, {{spoiler|''Morrighan'' struggled in single combat against him in G12.}}

{{spoiler|In G15, it is revealed that Shakespeare himself is the very first Milletian, who somehow traveled over from our own world into Erinn. During his early days in Erinn, Shakespeare met and fell in love with a girl named Bella, but they were separated when Cichol attacked the two, warning that Shakespeare was an uninvited guest and should leave.}}
{{spoiler|Shakespeare sets off the plot of G15 by telling Shylock to attempt to take Antonio's heart. In reality, he intended to drive Shylock into despair so that he would willingly give up his body to Shakespeare, so that Shakespeare could use it to escape Morrighan's eyes forever. Before he could finish his plan, Morrighan caught up with him and recaptured him. The generation ends with a dark vision of the future, showing all Milletians dead at Bella's hands.}}

* [[Nice Guy]].
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue to Bassanio's Red; he's the more level-headed of the two.
* [[Self
=== Bassanio ===
A former nobleman burdened with debt. Long ago, he met and fell in love with Portia in Iria while traveling the world. While he would not permanently stay in Iria, nor would he bring her along, he promised to come back to her once he wished to settle down. The emergence of his debt curbed those plans, as he wished to only come back to her a wealthy man, and he resorted to alcoholism.

However, her deceased father had set up a riddle for those who would dare propose; those who answered wrongly would not be allowed to marry her. Portia, however, had already found a lover in Bassanio, and waited for his return after his departure from Iria until a section of the Memory Tower containing her memories of him would break apart and distort her memories of him. After the Milletian returns the piece to her, she remembers and finds a new resolves to meet with Bassanio once more.

* [[Mood Swinger]]: Portia is ''very'' emotional. She can go from overjoyed, to nervous, to lovelorn, to sobbing, all in a single scene.

** [[Tender Tears]].
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: Faces this from others due to her love for Bassanio.
=== Shylock ===
{{quote|
A miserly aged man, and a business rival of Antonio's. Years ago, Shylock lost his wife and daughter to the cruelty of a noble named Videk. After Videk dies, Shylock holds Antonio responsible, reasoning that Antonio did not aid him in his time of need despite having the ability to do so. Antonio approaches Shylock early in G15, asking for a loan of 3 million gold. Shylock agrees, provided that Antonio pay back the loan in three months or give up his ''heart'' to Antonio.
{{spoiler|In reality, Shakespeare made contact with Shylock just before Antonio did, and said he would reunite Shylock with his loved ones, provided he could bring Shakespeare Antonio's heart. In reality, Shakespeare knew Shylock wouldn't go through with it, and merely wanted to push Shylock far enough into despair that Shylock would give his body to Shakespeare so he could escape Morrighan's eyes forever. In the end, Shakespeare sends Shylock into the story of Golvan to reunite him with his family.}}
Line 1,025:
Tropes associated with Shylock:
* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to

=== Bella ===
{{quote|
(Shakespeare concerning Bella) }}
Line 1,047:
Tropes associated with Bella:
* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Retroactive version; she taught Shakespeare Enthralling Melody, which he used to save the children of Partholon.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: It's heavily implied that Bella allowed Lugh Lavada to realize that she wasn't Triona, so that she could die an purify the soul stream.}}

** [[Waif Fu]]: It's not what she's best at, but she can fight.

=== Owen ===
{{quote|
The Fleet Admiral of the Aliech Regime, stationed at Belvast. Owen achieved prestige when he managed to capture the unassailable Belvast Island, which was a Pirate stronghold at the time. He achieved this through landing hot air balloons on the island, rather than attacking by sea.
Owen aids the player throughout G15 and G16, especially by providing {{spoiler|Princess Eirawen safe haven on Belvast, and leading the assault against Lugh Lavada.}}
Line 1,070:
* [[A Father to His Men]].
* [[An Officer and
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: A rare positive example; he has his victory in Belvast to thank for his high rank.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Scathach ''implies'' he's this, but nothing comes of it.
* [[Four
* [[Good
* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]: Owen finds no joy in his military exploits, seeing them only as something that had to be done.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue to his brother, the hot-tempered Odran.
* [[Royal Rapier]].

{{quote|
Admiral Owen's lover, cursed into taking the form of a hideous and malevolent witch during the day. She's forced to live alone in a cave in Scathach Beach to hide her curse. Her Witch form plays a role during G16 by warning the player of what Shakespeare is up to.
Line 1,098 ⟶ 1,099:
* [[Polar Opposite Twins]]: Technically, they're both just the same person, but Scathach's lady and witch forms couldn't be more seperate; Lady Scathach is kind though grim, and Witch Scathach is open but cruel and manipulative.
* [[Purple Eyes]]: Lady Scathach, very softly. It's possible to mistake them for blue unless you look closely.
** [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]] and [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Witch Scathach.
* Stripperific: What her portrait doesn't show is that her dress also bares her shapely hips from the waist down. It really leaves very little to the imagination.
* [[Trickster Mentor]]: Witch Scathach, possibly. She ''does'' provide warnings to the player and Owen as to {{spoiler|Lugh Lavada's}} actions, but it's unclear if she's really doing it for their benefit or if it just amuses her in some strange way.
=== Eirawen ===
{{quote|
The abrasive princess of the Aliech Kingdom of the Uladh continent. As King Ethur Mac Cuill II's seemingly only child, she is the first in line of succession for the throne. However, her inheritance of the throne is called into question with the appearance of the legendary Knight of Light Lugh Lavada, who reemerges in time to demand his right to the throne. Suspicious of Lugh Lavada and the nature of her father's death, she asks for the aid of the Milletian in order to find the truth and help reclaim the throne.
Line 1,114 ⟶ 1,115:
* [[An Ice Person]]: Subtle, but she wields an Ice Wand and casts Ice Spear.
* [[Bad Boss]]: Poor, poor Betty...
* [[Bratty Half
* [[Break the Haughty]]: {{spoiler|After Callow and Betty die.}}

* [[The Red Baron]]: Known as "The Knight of Light."
* {{spoiler|[[Sanity Slippage]]: Triona appears to have died following G3, and Lugh Lavada... lost it... when she did.}}
Line 1,165 ⟶ 1,166:
=== Eiry ===
A spirit sealed within a [[Empathic Weapon|basic weapon of some sort]], Eiry is given to you directly upon your arrival to Erinn. She serves a double purpose; to give out Tutorials, and to serve as a slightly better than average first weapon to use. She leaves the player's side for good after reaching level 26 (Human), or completing a certain beginner quest (Elf and Giant).
Line 1,173 ⟶ 1,174:
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: As of G13, Eiry is no longer given to new players. [[Tear Jerker|She no longer exists.]]
* [[Empathic Weapon]]: You can later make more, all of which are somewhat more helpful than Eiry, but also much more demanding.
* [[It May Help You
* [[He Knows About Timed Hits]]: Eiry provides most of the Tutorial for the early game.
* [[White
=== Ferghus ===
