Rune Factory/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Bishonen]] - Taken even further with the [[Real Men Wear Pink|feminine accessories]] [[Virtual Paper Doll|displayed when equipped]] in ''Frontier''.

* [[Bi the Way]]: You CAN propose to the male villagers (at least in Rune Factory Frontier). Sure, they reject without fail, and they see it as a joke, but Raguna certainly [[Ho Yay|doesn't seem to think of it as a joke]].

* [[Cast From Hit Points]]: If you run out of rune points, your actions start depleting your health bar.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Not so much in the original, but he's arguably this in ''Frontier''.

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]

* [[Kissing Cousins]]: Or kissing [[Incest Is Relative|Aunt/Niece]], if you marry her sister!

** Ironic part about the above? Unless you're going for a perfect score (the first round is always random on Cammy's part), it's actually extremely easy to win, as Cammy follows a specific and easily-predictable pattern. [[Guide Dang It|It's figuring out the damn pattern that makes it so annoying,]] [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|especially since she breaks it if you spam one option for the match.]]

* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]

* [[The Quiet One]]

* [[Shrinking Violet]]

=== Ray ===

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Bookworm]]

** This troper thought she was talking about her thighs.

* [[Ditzy Genius]]: She spends so much time reading that she forgets to clean, sleep, and even ''eat''.

* [[Curtains Match the Windows]]

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: It's all too easy to [[Viewer Gender Confusion|mistake him for a woman]]... until he ''speaks''.

* [[Nice Hat]]

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: She never knew her parents. {{spoiler|Considering she's a phoenix, she may never have had any!}}

* {{spoiler|[[The Phoenix]]}}

* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: Get your affection level with her high enough and she'll start sneaking into your house during the middle of the day.

* [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment]]: If you build up a relationship with her then marry someone else, she'll write a heart wrenching entry in her diary about how she thought you loved her.

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: He spends all his time in a frayed tanktop that barely covers his tanned and tattooed muscles.

* [[Ho Yay]]: With the main character. Give him a gift he loves on his birthday and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4PwYZ3CHaQ he'll ask if he can kiss you] (though you do decline). Not to mention when he tells the main character to stare at him instead of the ladies during the Beach Festival.

* [[Incest Subtext]]: He's rather... attached to his sister. Their introduction scene has them going totally melodramatic about her going out to go fishing, complete with "My dear brother/my beloved sister"s, and both talk about having trouble finding a boy/girlfriend as good as their sibling.

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

{{quote| A happy-go-lucky mermaid who runs the baths in the inn. Has an odd fascination with squid.}}

** They also seem larger when she's in her swimsuit than when she's just in mermaid form from the rain...

* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]: With Sakuya, and you can join them in one request.

* {{spoiler|[[Childhood Marriage Promise]]}}: He and Sonja had one; he brings it up {{spoiler|after his proposal}}.

* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience|Color Coded For Your Convenience]]: Aden? He's the one with light silvery-blue hair.

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Is actually Aden's default weapons ability.

* [[Dub Name Change]]: To Aden, from Azel.

* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: As always.

* [[Heroic Second Wind]]: Experiences this during the final battle, and is able to defeat {{spoiler|[[The Reveal|Sonja's possessed body]]}} thanks, in part, to thoughts of his [[The Power of Friendship|friends]].

* [[I Choose to Stay]]

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: One iteration of the twin blades weapon Aden can use is...''giant fireworks.''

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Should the player decide to have Aden become betrothed to any other possible marriageable candidate aside from her.

* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: Should the player decide to have Aden become betrothed to Sonja.

=== Lily ===

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Is sometimes referred to as "Sara" or "Sera," among other iterations.

* [[Tomboy]]: Only natural!

=== Elena ===

{{quote| An intrepid merchant who cares for his sister, Elena, he exhibits a cordial and gentlemanly air. Valuing politeness, he has no qualms about chastising his younger sibling for her at-times rude behavior, though nevertheless dotes on her frequently. Kind and down-to-earth, he is an amiable and welcoming individual.}}

** His dedication to his sister is a huge part of his character. A lot of his dialogue is about her (compared to the virtually none from Elena about him) and he even claims to forget his own birthday while preparing for hers.

* [[Blue Eyes]]: Shares this and his [[Hair of Gold|blonde hair]] with his sister.

* [[Intrepid Merchant]]: Is this in part, selling a wide variety of wares ranging from house expansions to lottery tickets he presumably obtains elsewhere.

* [[Nice Hat]]: If there is one defining physical trait of James, it's his top hat.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: He is considerably less tempermental than Elena.

* [[Expy]]: Looks remarkably similar to Daisuke from [[Digimon]].

* [[Eyes of Gold]]: The only male to have so, in fact.

* [[Goggles Do Nothing|The Goggles Do Nothing]]: Indeed, for all intents and purposes, they are simply there to look cool.

** Interestingly, [[Kyle Hebert|Kamina's English dub VA]] features in the dub, [[Missed Moment of Awesome|but as Father Gerard and the Goblin Pirate Captain instead of Joe.]]

* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]: His hair is [[Added Alliterative Appeal|suspiciously spiky]], given the implied time period and setting.

* [[The Prankster]]: Can be this at times, as previously mentioned.

* [[Raised By Grandparents|Raised By Grandparent]]: As stated, he lives with his grandfather, Bacchus, off Fenith Island's local pier, and the two tend to clash over the validity of his profession.

=== Bismarck ===

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: He [[Heroic Bystander|will ''not'' just sit there]] and let men act untoward toward women, as can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/user/OtogiClover#p/u/7/azod--rnkv4 here at 3:07].

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Unlike his sister, has both brown hair and brown eyes.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Is a [[Shop Keeper|diligent and talented businessman]], as opposed to Sarah's utter laziness.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Is sometimes referred to as "Bismark" instead.

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Some of his lines toward Aden sound like outright flirting, and that's putting aside his [[Camp Gay|flamboyant personality]].

** [[Ambiguously Bi]] maybe, since, as stated above and below, he shows interest in both Aden and Violet. [[Your Mileage May Vary|YMMV]], though.

* [[Camp Straight]]: Despite his rather ambiguously gay behavior, he mentions how cute he thinks Violet is and that it is a shame he is a priest.

* [[Good Shepherd]]: One of the many reasons why the residents of Fenith Island like him so.

* [[Scars Are Forever]]: As aforementioned, has a horizontal scar under his left eye.

* [[Black Magic|Dark Magic]]: Uses this in conjunction with a large - and rather ornate - [[BFS|broadsword]].

* {{spoiler|[[Body Snatcher]]: Steals Sonja's form at the beginning of the game in order to accomplish various ends, particularly exploiting her ability to use the Spirit Song}}.

* [[Malevolent Masked Men]]: ...[[Captain Obvious|Obviously.]]

** [[White Mask of Doom]]

* [[Bishonen]]: So pretty that some fans mistook him for the [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|female protagonist.]]

* [[Easy Amnesia]]

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Pointy Ears]]: Comes with being an elf.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Grade A.
