Line 30:
 
* [[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 79:
* [[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'' [[GodsGod's Hands Are Tied|tie her hands.]] {{spoiler|Until the G12 Final Boss. She [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|fights directly alongside you]] for that.}}
* {{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.
* [[GodsGod's Hands Are Tied]]: The first three generations actually have fairly reasonable excuses for her to be leaving all the work to you; {{spoiler|In Generation 1 she was captured and sealed by Cichol after using up most of her power in a [[You Shall Not Pass]] moment again an entire ''army'', and then at the end, despite being free she's too weak from imprisonment to act directly, and during Generation 2 and Generation 3 she's busy doing ''another'' [[You Shall Not Pass]] moment to prevent the Fomors from invading En Masse through the breach between Tir Na Nog and Erinn. Cichol only manages to nearly capture her again by the very end of Generation 3, by which point she's exhausted herself again, and needs rescuing from Tarlach. After that she just kinda vanishes until Chapter 3, but doesn't do much until it's revealed she's actually out to kill you, coming to fruition in Chapter 4.}}
* [[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'' [[Side BoobSideboob]]. Fanart takes this [[Up to Eleven]], and even recent official art seems to have increased her bust size to rival Nao's. Finally, her [[Eyes Always Shut]] also lends a certain Moe charm to her.
* {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice Job Breaking Erinn Goddess]]:Nice job causing the whole Fomor War, Morri.}}
* [[Put On a Bus]]: Vanished just before the Generation 3 final boss and fails to show up again until just before the {{spoiler|G10 final boss.}}
Line 118:
Tropes associated with Cichol:
 
* {{spoiler|[[Zero -Percent Approval Rating]]:The Fomors rapidly lose all faith in Cichol in Generation 11 due to him being willing to work with the humans to stop Caliburn. Unlike normal uses of this trope, they actually renounce him as their god and move under their own volition from there on.}}
* [[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 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 -Power]]: {{spoiler|Lost his ability to properly use magic as a result of his failure at Tir Na Nog.}}
* [[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.}}
Line 164:
* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]: Feels responsible for the loss of Ruairi and Mari, and feels terrible about it.
* [[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.
* [[ItsIt's Not You, ItsIt's Me]]: {{spoiler|He left Kristell}} because he doesn't find himself to be worthy of her love.
* [[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.
Line 216:
* [[The Archer]]: Has the skills, but not the personality.
* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to A Higher Plane of Existence]]: Died as Mari and was born again as Nao.}}
* [[Bratty Half -Pint]]: To Ruairi.
* [[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.}}
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.}}
Line 543:
 
* [[Death From Above]]
* [[Eleventh -Hour Superpower]]: You first gain the ability to summon him during the last parts of the final boss of G9.
* [[Total Party Kill]]: If you don't get out of his way in a Chapter 3 Shadow Mission, he will wreck you as well as your enemies.
* [[Psychic Dreams for Everyone]]: A few times in G9.
Line 615:
* [[Chickification]]: Played with; She begins to chikify during the end of G11, but proves she can still kick ass anyways in G12.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: {{spoiler|The Aliech Royal Alchemists took advantage of the chaos during the Tragedy of Emain Macha to kill Jenna's druid parents.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: She kills ''Cichol'', who was, before that, Mabinogi's top [[Magnificent Bastard]], [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?|Goddess Deceiver]], [[Karma Houdini]], [[Kick the Dog|Dog Kicker]], [[The Chessmaster|Chess Playing]], [[Xanatos Gambit|Gambiteer]]. In true form, however, he manages to salvage the situation on the fly, and returns anyway not long after. Anyways, she also ''did'' do it with the [[Sword of Plot Advancement]], mind you.}}
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: A couple times during G9, she later improves.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Dual wields two sword, becoming one of the only, if not THE only, character in the story to do this.
Line 705:
Tropes associated with Berched:
 
* [[Full -Contact Magic]]: Teaches you the Blaze magic skill.
* [[Hermit Guru]]: He's not living all ''that'' far out, but he still is out a ways a bit. Still, it's rare to see this [[Discredited Trope]] being used seriously anymore.
* [[Magic Versus Science]]: He's a druid, but he doesn't seem to mind Alchemy, unlike some others on either side.
Line 744:
* [[Missing Mom]]: While {{spoiler|Morgant}} remains an active force in his life (thought it seems likely Elatha doesn't know of their relationship, {{spoiler|Neamhain}} is nowhere to be seen for him.
* [[Screw Destiny]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: For the same reason as Kristell; Elatha's not evil, but he's not human.
 
=== Tethra ===
Line 798:
* [[Mama Bear]]: {{spoiler|Although she doesn't show it until after her son's death.}}
* [[Moral Myopia]]: {{spoiler|She's more or less personally responsible for the hellish life Elatha lived, including the circumstances leading to his death, by not showing any real care for his well being until he was about to die. After that, she still sees fit to have Cichol killed in retaliation.}}
* [[Out -Gambitted]]: Everything she tries to do only backfires or serves another villain's purposes.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: She's just not there for either of her kids.
* [[Rage Quit]]: She basically [[Rage Quit]] on the Elves and Giants after they came into conflict over the Heart of Courcle, and in a big way, cursing both them and their lands.
Line 847:
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Sacrifices himself to save Jenna from Helvetius' final attack.}}
** [[My Greatest Second Chance]]
* [[Like Father, Like Son]]: {{spoiler|Just like Leymore, he sacrificed himself to protect another from death.}}
* [[Lost Forever]]: Once you complete a certain mission in Generation 12, his room in the castle is locked, and he cannot be found elsewhere {{spoiler|(since he dies durring that mission)}}.
* [[Magic Versus Science]]: {{spoiler|He was the individual in charge of the Royal Alchemists who killed Jenna's parents. While he didn't directly order them to do it, he didn't stop them either.}}
Line 1,073:
* [[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 -Star Badass]].
* [[Good Looking Privates]].
* [[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.
Line 1,098:
* [[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.
Line 1,114:
* [[An Ice Person]]: Subtle, but she wields an Ice Wand and casts Ice Spear.
* [[Bad Boss]]: Poor, poor Betty...
* [[Bratty Half -Pint]]: Until [[Character Development]].
* [[Break the Haughty]]: {{spoiler|After Callow and Betty die.}}
* [[Cry Cute]]: Eirawen finally giving into all the traumas that have been piling up on her and just letting loose her tears marks the start of her softening up.
