Line 30:
 
==== Healie (Hoimin) ====
A helpful healslime who hopes that one day he might [[Pinocchio Syndrome|become human]]. Takes a real shine to Ragnar and offers to help him out. {{spoiler|Though Ragnar wasn't the first soldier he made that offer to.}}.
 
* [[Badass Adorable]]
Line 38:
* [[The Medic]]
* [[Odd Friendship]]
* [[Pinocchio Syndrome]]: {{spoiler|He succeeds and becomes human eventually.}}.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: All Slimes have a slight slur to their voices, crossed with a bit of [[SMURFING]] given how many words in their sentences tend to be slime related puns.
 
Line 120:
* [[Lethal Joke Character]]: Some of Torneko's "goofing-off" actions include stealing items from the enemy (being the only way in the game to do so), performing a leg sweep to nullify some of the enemy's turns, calling in an army of fellow merchants he's befriended in his travels (who proceed to beat up on the enemy for a few rounds), covering an enemy's mouth to prevent spellcasting, and tripping. (Yes, tripping. His weapon somehow lands a critical hit on the enemy in the process.) The only thing keeping this power in check is that, again, these goof-offs are completely random.
* [[Only One Name]]: Used for his name in the Japanese version (just Torneko) and the NES version's localization (just Taloon), but this trope no longer applies to him in the DS remake, in which he's referred to as Torneko Taloon.
* [[Spoony Bard]]: Only starts growing into this during Chapter Five; during his chapter, he's a serviceable fighter. {{spoiler|Especially if you pick up the [[Disc One Nuke]].}}. His random battle moves in Chapter Five are sometimes a waste of time, and sometimes bizarrely effective (such as when he summons a random army of merchants who swarm the enemy for substantial damage each turn, for 2-4 turns), but the fact that he's even more random than other AI-controlled party members makes him an unreliable and risky choice.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
Line 189:
 
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: After the revenge attempt goes awry, he fights off the guards so Meena and Maya can escape. He gets better.}}.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]
* [[Punny Name]]: Add a "T" to the front of his name to get the joke.
Line 221:
Solo/Sofia's best friend, who just happens to be a magically talented elf. Lighthearted and mischievous, she loves playing pranks on the whole village, and likes jerking the hero's chain.
 
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Knowing the monsters won't leave until they've slain the hero, she morphs into an exact lookalike and runs out to face them... [[Unexplained Recovery|She gets better in the ending. Without explanation.]]}}.
** Until the DS remake, where {{spoiler|Rose is revived}} in the same way Elisa was, implying that [[The Power of Friendship|your friends]] went and did the [[Bonus Dungeon]] to get the [[MacGuffin]] to {{spoiler|bring her back to life.}}. [[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Aww...]]
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
Line 246:
 
==== Orifiela (Lucia) ====
A beautiful woman stranded far from home, requiring a special escort back to her faraway country. An accomplished healer, she also knows how to [[Mana Drain|sap her enemies' magical strength and claim it as her own]], making her a fantastic backup... though her physical strength is sadly lacking. {{spoiler|Oh, and she also happens to be a Zenithian. And heavily implied to be the Hero's mother, though neither of them actually figures it out.}}.
 
* [[Guest Star Party Member]]
Line 271:
 
* [[Badass]]
* {{spoiler|[[The Dark Side Will Make You Forget]]: Using the Secret of Evolution causes him to forget who he once was.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]: After losing Rose.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Freak-Out]]: After Rose's death.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: But only in the [[Updated Rerelease|DS/PS1 version's]] sixth chapter.}}.
* [[Humans Are Bastards]]
* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]: He was never actually ''sorry'' for trying to killing off humans, even in the [[Updated Rerelease|DS version's]] sixth chapter. He just directs his hate at the villain instead, and gets congratulated. Then again, he ''was'' clearly not in his right state of mind during his time as a villain...}}
** {{spoiler|MoresoMore so, his [[Heel Face Turn]] is only a result of ''your'' actions. You kind of have to go out of your way to get the [[Plot Coupon|Plot Coupons]] required for it. If you think he deserves death, it's entirely within your power to kill him. ... but you can't bring Rose back, because she desperately wants him to live, and you can't go back on your decision once you've made it.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Love Redeems]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Marathon Boss]]: ''Seven forms''.}}.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]
* {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn]]: Plays right into the real [[Big Bad]]'s hands.}}.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]
Line 287:
 
==== Rose (Rosa) ====
A beautiful girl in a tower who can see that the world's well on its way to ruin... {{spoiler|thanks to the efforts of her misguided lover, Psaro.}}.
 
* [[Body to Jewel]]: Her tears turn to rubies, though they crumble away when touched.
Line 293:
* {{spoiler|[[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]}}
* [[Girl in the Tower]]
* {{spoiler|[[Last Request]]: Which tragically goes ignored.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Morality Chain]]: Though she has trouble actually functioning as one, since Psaro tends to ignore her protests about his [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]. Still doesn't help when ''[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|you]]'' help shatter her. Go, team. She gets better at it after she is brought [[Back From the Dead]], though.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Rescue Romance]]: Psaro introduced himself to her by vaporizing a human thug threatening her.}}.
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]
 
==== Aamon (Radimvice) ====
Psaro's right hand man...demon...thing. {{spoiler|Turns out he's more important to the plot than he seems, especially in the DS version.}}.
 
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: While it was subtly implied in the original, the remake makes it perfectly clear that he was the one who was really calling the shots.}}.
* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|Or is he?}}?
* {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man]]: Every villainous action in the plot, from Balzack's rise to power, to the sacking of Alena's kingdom, to Psaro's [[Start of Darkness]], are all the result of his scheming.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Manipulative Bastard]]: He's the one responsible for Psaro becoming a human hating [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]], and later on a full blown [[Omnicidal Maniac]].}}.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Amon or Aamon?
* [[Staying Alive]]: It's never explained how he's still alive in the bonus chapter when you clearly killed him earlier.
* {{spoiler|[[True Final Boss]]}}
* {{spoiler|1=[[Unexplained Recovery]]: The sixth chapter in the DS and PS1 versions have him and Psaro recover from their defeat without any explanation.}}.
