Characters from Rhapsody

Cornet Espoir

Cornet is the cheerful heroine of the first game. She can sing, play the horn, and even talk to puppets... which most people cannot do. Cornet longs for a passionate relationship and despises toads. She longs for a prince to sweep her off of her feet.

Tropes associated with Cornet:

Kururu

She is a puppet and Cornet's best friend. She follows Cornet throughout the game, often making humorous comments on her behavior. She likes cherries, and dislikes anything sour. Unlike other puppets, Kururu can move around on her own without the powers of Cornet's horn, and she can talk to other humans besides Cornet.

Tropes associated with Kururu:


Cherie

Cherie is Cornet's mother, whom is said to have been killed in an accident many years prior to the start of the game. She was the princess of the ancient, and has a ability that lets her transform into an angelic form when she releases her power. She is at once mature and charmingly childish.

Tropes associated with Cherie:

Ferdinand Marl E.

The prince, and soon to be king, of Marl Kingdom. He often sneaks out of the castle to hunt or visit the city. Cornet has dreamed of him her whole life and falls in love with him after a chance meeting in the forest when he saves her from a dragon summoned by Myao. The two later start to fall in love after meeting the second time in the castle. Then Marjoly appears to get back Ferdinand for beating Myao, instantly falls in love with him and tries to teleport him to her castle, but screws up the spell and accidentally turns him to stone, and he's stuck that way till Cornet breaks the spell at the end of the game.

Tropes associated with Ferdinand:

Etoile Rosenqueen

She is Cornet's arrogant rival. Etoile often makes sarcastic remarks about Cornet. She is from a rich background and loves being the center of attention.

Tropes associated with Etoile:

Marjoly

She is malevolent and very conceited, with lyrics in her song "Evil Queen" describing herself to be "mightier than the god... more beautiful than the goddess". She fell in love with Prince Ferdinand (immediately after seeing him the first time) and meant to teleport him only to turn him into stone.

Tropes associated with Marjoly:

"Tell me boy, how about spending an unforgettable night with me?"

  • High Collar of Doom
  • Hot Witch
  • Inept Mage: She is prone to Magic Misfire, aside from the mentioned above of turning Ferdinand, there's also when fighting the ancient weapon where she screws up a spell and literally knocks herself out.
    • Although, for all that she is inept at being effective in battle, if she DOES hit you with a spell it will hurt. A lot. Her raw magical power is undeniable.
    • Dropped entirely in her playable Disgaea cameos. She's no more inept then any more then any other spell caster in that game.
  • Informed Deformity: The other characters insist that she looks really old and that she does not have the body to wear that kind of outfit.
    • Her Disgaea cameos also state she wears far too much make-up instead, in addition to calling her old.
  • Laughably Evil: She tries to be threatening, but through a combination of her own stupitidy, the fact that her own minions don't take her seriously and mock her at every chance possible (which there are many), make scenes with her the funniest parts of the game.
  • Narcissist
  • Noble Demon: Neither her or her lackeys are bad people.
  • Noblewoman's Laugh
  • Really Seven Hundred Years Old: 1509 years old.
  • Stripperific: Her outfit. Seriously.
  • Vain Sorceress
  • Villainesses Want Heroes: Her "love" for Ferdinand.
