Rosenkreuzstilette/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Right for The Wrong Reasons]]: She ends up as this {{spoiler|when she finds out that Iris had caused the events of the game to happen for her amusement, instead of her initial assumption that Graf Sepperin was behind it all}}.

* [[Swiper No Swiping]]: She does this deal with her friends as well as Graf Sepperin.

* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: She at one point after beating Grolla in the main game after already having defeated Sichte before her, states that she never wanted to kill her in the first place.

** Then again, she spends her time not killing any of her colleagues after defeating them anyway.

* [[Tomato in The Mirror]]: {{spoiler|Before the [[Final Boss]] fight, as Tia confronts Iris, the latter starts laughing. Tia and Lilli thinks she's crazy... before she reveals that Tia is the legendary Rosenkreuz's another incarnation - "the Blade of Rosenkreuz."}}

{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Iris}}''': I think I might just start believing in fate now. Ahhh, the feeling of hating another with every fiber of your being... It's such an amazing rush...! Oh, I'm so anxious to rip you apart! What about you? You have the power of the world's finest magician coursing through your veins. How does it feel? Exhilarating? Intoxicating? Exuberant? Or perhaps such a puny vessel can't fully comprehend the magnificence of it all?<br />

'''{{spoiler|Tia}}''': Thanks, {{spoiler|Lilli}}. I don't really know if I posess Rosenkreuz's spirit... Or if I'm his other incarnation or whatnot... {{spoiler|Or if I inherited his ability to tap into the strength of others'...}} But none of that matters when it comes to magic. Freu... Zorne... Trau... Luste... Grolla... Sichte... Liebea... Schwer... and Lilli... [[The Power of Friendship|It's because they support me that I have the will to fight. They're the source of my power.]] [[World of Cardboard Speech|That much, I know for sure!]] }}

* [[Turns Red]]: Interestingly, when using Grolla's weapon, Grollschwert.

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: {{spoiler|Iris amused herself with watching Tia give it her all, thus thinking of her as one}}.

* [[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me]]: She says this after Luste, raring to play with her, says, "Game start! I go first!"

{{quote| '''Lilli''': "What's wrong with her?"<br />

'''Spiritia''': "Iris, have you lost your mind!?" }}

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Say My Name]]: She does this when Tia loses a life while using her to attack.

* [[We Cannot Go On Without You]]: RKS isn't an RPG, but it has these moments where she's automatically called back every time Tia respawns if she loses a life. She's friends with Tia, after all.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

=== Tropes related with Freudia: ===

* [[An Ice Person]]

* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Even though she's pefectly willing to beat Spiritia down, that doesn't mean she enjoys it.

{{quote| '''Freudia:''' "I'm sorry, Tia..."}}

* [[Hair Decorations]]: Her big red hair ribbon, which in the sequel can change color depending on the ability she chooses.

* [[Expy]]: To Roll (considering her hairstyle, hair decs and having the same number in their own lines) and Proto Man (considering her personality and her [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment above).

* [[Fuuma Shuriken]]: Her Frostklinge ability, which she learns from Dolis.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: She prefers not to be close to others despite her strong relationship with Tia.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: She makes one {{spoiler|to save Tia from being killed by one last attack from Iris, which uses up a bit of her energy}}. At least the sacrifice isn't fatal.

* [[Idiot Hair]]: Though just like Lilli, she's clearly not an idiot.

* [[I Work Alone]]: One of her main preferences.

* [[Kuudere]]: Cold in the outside and prefers being alone. Warm in the inside, especially when Tia is involved.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Subverted - Even though she does have red eyes, she's actually a nice person who happens to be duty-bound on this war.

{{quote| '''Freudia''': I'll lay you to rest in a cool bed of ice.}}

* [[Warmup Boss]]: In the opening stage of the first game.

* [[Woman in White]]

* [[Berserk Button]]: She'll go berserk on anyone who calls her a [[Baka]], messes with Father, or even "brainwashes" her friend Trau.

* [[The Big Guy|The Big Girl]]: Relative to her position in RKS.

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Butt Monkey]]: In the first game.

* [[Fiery Redhead]]

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]

* [[Leitmotif]]: "SHINING MAN" by Maru no IE (RKS stage theme), "Sinner" by Unlimited Hellest (Talk theme), "Eruption Trigger" by Sound Prison (RKSF stage theme)

* [[Lethal Chef]]: According to her profile, she's a ''REALLY'' terrible cook.

** A [[Fanon|fan-made]] version of events suggests that this gauntlet a prosthetic arm to make up for the one she lost during an accident in her youth, making it a [[Disability Superpower]]. Pretty [[Badass]], when you think about it.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Would likely, if she didn't wear her hair in ponytails.

* [[Say My Name]]: (defeat quote) "Oto-samaaaaaaaaa!" ("Fatheeeeerrrrrrrr!")

* [[Tempting Fate]]: She does this before her boss battle.

{{quote| '''Zorne''': I have faith in Father! And I will NOT lose to you!<br />

'''Zorne''': (after getting bested by Tia) Ugh... Why can't I do anything when it really counts!? }}

* [[Tomboy]]: To Trau's Girly Girl:

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: She's significantly tougher in ''Freudenstachel'' than in the first game.

* [[Blow You Away]]: She can fly and summon mini-tornados, much like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUVdA9ABzpg a certain undefeatable boss].

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Combination Attack]]: With Zorne in Freudenstachel.

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Leitmotif]]: "26" by [[AM 3]] (RKS stage theme), "11" by [[AM 3]] (Talk theme)

* [[Pettanko]]

* [[Razor Wind]]: Again, her Lustatem. See [[Laser Blade]] above.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Nothing more needs to be said here.

* [[Ancestral Weapon]]: Her Demon Sword Grollschwert, which has been passed down by the Seyfarth clan for generations.

* [[Another Side Another Story]]: Completing the game will give you the code to play as her in her own special sidestory, ''Rosenkreuzstilette Grollschwert''.

* [[Badass Boast]]: ''"Master, I am still inexperienced. Before you left us, you told me that the Demon Sword Grollschwert would clear a path for me. Now you are no longer with us... still, I have this sword. As long as I wield it, I shall press onward! I WILL find you, {{spoiler|Iris}}!"''

** Also, to Graf Sepperin: ''"Then I shall become a demon slayer and crush you where you stand!"''

* [[The Big Girl]]: Her strength is a significant asset to RKS.

* [[Blood Knight]]: She qualifies because she prefers to fight first and ask questions later.

* [[Breast Plate]]

* [[Bring It]]: She calls out to a certain [[Advancing Wall of Doom]] with this before beginning a fight against it after it chases her to the actual boss arena.

'''Grolla''': That doesn't matter. Stop what you're doing.<br />

'''Luste''': No way! I wanna play some more!<br />

'''Luste''': [[Idiot Hero|Ah! It takes one to know one!]]<br />

'''Grolla''': [[Berserk Button|It seems you could use some discipline...!]] }}

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: {{spoiler|At least she's closer to the truth than Tia}}.

* [[Did You Actually Believe]]: ''"You think I would fall for the same trick twice!?"''

* [[Expy]]: Of [[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Zero]], right down to the play style.

* [[Flat What]]: She delivers this when {{spoiler|Iris}} pulls off a [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]] on her by pretending she's an innocent girl being threatened when Sichte walks in.

* [[Purple Eyes]]

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: She had these in one of the screenshots from the Freudenstachel April Fool's site. These were absent in the trial versions as well as the upcoming full game.

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: She goes on this after {{spoiler|Iris humiliates her with her [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]}}. She even combines this with [[Unstoppable Rage]].

* [[Say My Name]]: (Freudenstachel defeat quote) "Shishooooooooo!" ("Masteeeeeerrrrrrr!")

** Similarly, when she confronts Graf Sepperin, she says this to him and reminds him to know that "the price for toying with the souls of the dead is high", due to having had to slay her undead grandfather and being angered and saddened by doing so.

* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: She in ''Rosenkreuzstilette Grollschwert'' is, surprisingly, quite fond of profanity, despite her speech being on a feudal tongue.

* [[The Stoic]]

* [[Sword Plant]]: One of her new moves in Freudenstachel.

{{quote| '''Grolla''': "Michael Zeppelin... Your reasons mean nothing to me. There will be no mercy. You shall pay for this with your life."}}

* [[Tomboy]]: A tomboyish knight at that.

'''Freu''': We might as well cease this debate. Words shall get us nowhere.<br />

'''Grolla''': My thoughts from the very beginning. If my words cannot persuade you, perhaps my blade can sway you instead! }}

{{quote| '''Grolla''': "Any last words, Devil?"}}

{{quote| '''Grolla''': "What was that...!? {{spoiler|Iris}}, what is the meaning of this!?"<br />

{{spoiler|Iris}}: "...! How careless of me. I wasn't expecting an audience so soon."<br />

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Sichte's generally kind and caring, you just don't want to mess with her unless you want a knife in the gut from her.

* [[Death From Above]]: One of her attacks when she [[Turns Red]] has her come down with a giant brick block from above after resuming time (which makes it another subtle resemblance to Dio below).

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|Girly Girl]]: To Grolla's Tomboy.

* [[Power Incontinence]]: When she's upset.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Technical Pacifist]]: She hates violence but has trouble controlling her powers.

* [[When She Smiles]]: Telling from some official artwork as well as some of her ''Freudenstachel'' mugshots, Liebea actually gets happy and even smiling expressions on rare occasions.

{{hardline}}

=== Tropes related with Schwer-Muta: ===

* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Her weapon is a wall of maces.

** Or daggers. Or crosses. It's hard to tell.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Zeppy's "Kwui-kwui", which is pretty much the only thing he ever says. Like, ALL THE TIME.

* [[Creepy Child]]: Mostly because of her anti-social nature.

** Not to mention she's very shy.

** Interesting to note is that she often attacks anyone who comes near out of distrust towards everyone she comes across. In the first game, she attacked like that because everybody missed her birthday. As Tia puts it, "We've all been pretty busy... Everything's been hectic lately."

** [[Captain Obvious|It could be obvious]] because of the large, fluffy tail.

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Offscreen Start Bonus]]: More like Offscreen Start Requirement in her stage. {{spoiler|You have to go left to enter the stage, because on the right is a death trap where the start would normally be}}.

* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: If her health goes below 50&, Zeppy starts spitting out ink that slowly covers the screen.

* [[Pettanko]]

* [[The Quiet One]]: She's pretty silent most of the time. Until Zeppy breaks the silence, that is. Even so, Schwer is still pretty quiet when she speaks.

* [[Shout Out]]: Upon defeat, she says "Uso da...!", which means "Liar...!" in Japanese. This was a phrase often said by Rena in [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni]] when she got angry in response to a perceived lie, only Schwer's ''"Uso da"'' was much cuter and quieter and Rena's was much louder and angrier.

* [[The Unintelligible]]: As Grolla would say, "As usual, she makes no sense."

* [[He Knows Too Much]]: Hence, why {{spoiler|Iris}} had him imprisoned.

* [[Redheaded Hero]]

* [[The Unseen]]: In the first game.

* [[Vampire Hunter]]: {{spoiler|According to the 2011 April Fools update,}} he is "planned" to play similarly to most of the heroes of [[Castlevania]] fame, plus his side-game is planned to be a Castlevania clone as well.

* [[Leitmotif]]: "Meteor Strike" by The Chair Hideout (Sepperin Stage 3 theme), "Dark Purple Moon ~ Dance of the Moon ~Rebirth~" by Sky God Corridor (Talk theme (shared with Grolla))

* [[Magic Knight]]: Not just any magic knight; he combines the Demon Sword Grollschwert with the Devil Scythe Grassense.

* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]

* [[Prepare to Die]]: ''"PREPARE YOURSELF, SPIRITIA! I SHALL BESTOW UPON YOU A GLORIOUS DEATH!"''

=== Tropes related with Graf Sepperin: ===

* [[Affably Evil]]

* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss|At first]].}}

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: He made a [[Deal With the Devil]] and therefore became a vampire. Despite that, he cares for his own fellow magi very much, and he did so just to build a world where magi can live in peace and ensure the safety of his daughter Iris, {{spoiler|who he didn't know was just pitting them against the Empire for her enjoyment}}.

* [[Deal With the Devil]]: JUST BECAUSE he cares for his fellow magi THAT MUCH.

* [[Expy]]: Of Dracula from [[Castlevania|Rondo of Blood]].

** Not to mention, he also sometimes shouts "I'm the Devil...!" instead before doing so, similarly to Dr. Weil from [[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Mega Man Zero]]. Interestingly, of course, unlike Dr. Weil, Sepperin himself is not a [[Complete Monster]] whatsoever.

* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: Again, inverted, as he's not really evil, just a nice guy who made a [[Deal With the Devil]].

* [[Necromancer]]: In making a pact with the devil, he got the ability to use the forbidden arts, allowing him to command monsters and demons, and even allowing him the necrotic ability to raise and control the dead. He even brought Sir Raimund [[Back From the Dead]] as [[The Grim Reaper|a Grim Reaper-like wraith]]. Whoa.

* [[Noble Demon]]

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: See [[Expy]] above.

* [[Playing With Fire]]

{{quote| '''Graf Sepperin''': It seems the Church has learned of Iris and her gifts through Karl. But I was able to pre-empt their plans. To protect Iris, I launched a coup against the Empire. That was the only option available with our current strength. With a mere moment of preparation, I organized our attack.}}

** {{spoiler|Interestingly, of course, the above quote was just part of the whole much larger part about Karl that Iris made up. As she puts it, "He was able to see through my facade, so I decided to get rid of him."}}

* [[Team Dad]]: To all of RKS. His job was probably taken by Tia for him after {{spoiler|Iris killed him}}.

* [[Tempting Fate]]: He does a similar thing to his stepdaughter before his own boss battle.

{{quote| '''Sepperin''': Empty platitudes. If you are so certain of yourself, then show me the true extent of your power! (gets beaten by Tia) Gah... I had not expected such an outcome...!}}

* [[Cry Cute]]: {{spoiler|During her [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|Wounded Gazelle Gambits]] as well as her defeated mugshot when she gets bested by Tia in the final battle}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Cute and Psycho]]}}: {{spoiler|Oh, yes, definitely. Shows at the end of the first game in both modes, of course. While she's generally a calm, collected, prim and proper little girl over the course of the stories of both the main game and ''Grollschwert'', she gets the Psycho part even more when she gets her [[Villainous Breakdown]] just before the final battle, as she starts laughing maniacally and very quickly changes her prim and proper attitude to insane motormouthed arrogance. Even so, she still has the cute part, of course.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Diabolical Mastermind]]}}

* [[Did You Actually Believe]]: See [[Badass Boast]] above.

* {{spoiler|[[For the Evulz]] She made RKS fight against the Empire for laughs and even amuses herself with other people's, especially Zorne's and Grolla's, suffering.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Gambit Roulette]]: When she plots something, you can always expect everything to go according to her plans no matter how unlikely it is. That is, unless someone like Freu or Grolla interferes.}}

* [[Hair of Gold]]: Seems to be this, with the glimpses of her personality, {{spoiler|until it's revealed later that she's [[Blondes Are Evil|the opposite.]]}}

* [[Intelligence Equals Isolation]]: {{spoiler|Her case.}}

* [[Nice Hat]]: {{spoiler|She gets a tiara on her forehead in the first game's climax}}.

* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|She uses this expression when Grolla overhears her plot to have RKS fight against the Empire for kicks in the beginning of ''Grollschwert''.}}

* [[Physical God]]: She claims to be one.

* [[Power Gives You Wings]]: {{spoiler|In her One-Winged Angel form.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Red Eyes Take Warning]]}}

* [[Shock and Awe]]: Her Blitzstrahl ability.

* {{spoiler|[[Smug Super]]: She believes herself to be incomparable to everyone else since she claims to be a god.}}

{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Iris''': How amusing that you, an ordinary Magus, would even think of holding your own against me.}}<br />

{{spoiler|'''Iris''': My, my! Jealous, I see. You are a commoner through and through. Nothing you can do will ever compare to the genius of my abilities!}} }}

* [[This Is the Final Battle]]: ''{{spoiler|"I would kill you here and now, but I have a better idea. I'll let you prepare yourselves for a final showdown. You had better get ready!"}}''

* [[The Trickster]]: Her innocent demeanor {{spoiler|fooled everyone into not knowing that she started the war for her entertainment}}.

** Alternatively:

{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Iris'''}}: Now THAT was quality entertainment. ♪}}

* [[The Wise Prince|The Wise Princess]]: {{spoiler|She seems to have shades of this. She has as much intellect as Rosenkreuz, plus in the first game, she's very well-dressed in elegant clothing, similar to that of a real princess. Of course, this is inverted, as she's more of an evil and malicious [[Magnificent Bastard]] than expected}}.

* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: She pulls this on Grolla in Grollschwert mode and pretty much ''everyone'' in the main game.

{{hardline}}

=== Tropes related with Talos: ===

* [[Leitmotif]]: {{spoiler|"ys008 ~The Final Duel~" by Oo39 Dot Com (RKS Final Stage theme)}}

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]

* [[Light Is Good]]

* [[Mega Manning]]: He's able to tap onto the strength of his close companions. {{spoiler|This power is later inherited by Tia as "the Blade of Rosenkreuz".}}

* [[Posthumous Character]]

* [[Team Dad]]: To Magi in the past, as well as an [[Invincible Hero]], just before performing his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to have the Magi allowed to live alongside humans as part of the Empire's military.

{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' Mame no Suke}}

Her ability is Weißsilber, which utilizes her magical sword of the same name as the ability. She can draw a magic circle in the air with it and manipulate the space within it, using many attacks available for her use as a result.

=== Tropes related with Pamela: ===

* [[Affably Evil]]

* [[The Captain]]: To the Black Cross.

* [[Cool Sword]]: Her Weißsilber, a magical sword resembling a modern silver katana.

* [[Lawful Stupid]]: She captained the Black Cross' own coup against the Empire in ''Freudenstachel'', after all.

** Pretty much the rest of the Black Cross is also [[Lawful Stupid]].

* [[Magic Knight]]

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Actually, her eyes are rather pink-ish.

== Schirach Fühler ==

{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' TBA}}

** [[Slasher Smile]]

* [[Super Strength]]: Her Lichtfaust.

* [[Up to Eleven]]: It is said that Schirach's abilities go way beyond simple human limitations.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090707121006/rks/images/thumb/b/b2/RKSF_Schirach_F<!-- C3BChler.jpg/185px-RKSF_Schirach_F%C3%BChler.jpg As seen here.]] -->

* [[Little Black Dress]]

* [[Naughty Nuns]]

* [[Pettanko]]

* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: Respectively. Their names are actually a play on the German words for left and right, links and rechts.

** Also the name of their attack/power Falschegestalt literately means 'Wrong Shape', the barrier is noticeably an odd oval-shape.
