Line 401:
* {{spoiler|[[Kill the Cutie]]: In most endings. Sometimes subverted, sometimes [[Tear Jerker|not]]}}.
* [[The Klutz]]: Laharl and Etna thinks she is this, [[Informed Attribute|but she has never been shown doing something extremely clumsy]], so the statements tend to be more about [[Cloudcuckoolander|the thoughts that goes through her head]] rather than her physical slip-ups.
* [[Large Ham]]: Can be rather ''passionate'' about the power of love, especially in ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]''.
* [[Leotard of Power]]: {{spoiler|Her outfit as an [[Fallen Angel]].}}.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: In the manga and the anime. Her cooking skills in the games are never really mentioned, but when it's only Laharl and Flonne in the Overlord's Castle in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'', their diet consisted of potato chips, instant ramen, and canned tuna, implying that Flonne may not know how to cook.
** [[Through His Stomach]]: In the ''Disgaea 2'' Drama CD, Flonne tries to make Etna help her cook Laharl a meal since he’s so hungry and so that he and Etna can finally make amends. Etna refuses, so Flonne turns to [[Feminine Women Can Cook|Rozalin]] for help.
* [[Love Goddess|Love Angel]]: [[You Keep Using That Word|She keeps calling herself this.]]
* [[Love Bubbles]]: Such bubbles surround Flonne and Laharl in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'' after Laharl congratulates Flonne for passing an angel promotion test, which she is ''extremely'' touched by.
* [[Love Freak]]: [[Trope Namer|The original!]] We'd say 'accept no substitutes', but Flonne would want you to be accepting of others.
* [[Love Triangle]]: In the ''Disgaea 2'' Drama CD, Flonne also declares that it has become a [[Love Triangle]] between Laharl, Etna and Adell, and the reason Etna does not want to come home with Laharl is that Etna and Adell are a couple. Etna runs along with it.
* [[Magical Girl Warrior]]: Flonne imagines herself to be this, calling herself Guardian Flonne and Justice Flonne.
* [[Magikarp Power]]: Give her a staff and load her up with healing and elemental spells through the Mentor system, and she becomes perhaps more powerful and useful than Laharl.
** {{spoiler|But don't rely on her too much on the first playthrough, given that she gets removed from your party for the last story boss.}}.
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: Love Angel Flonne has descended from the heavens to teach you (Laharl) the importance of love!
* [[Messianic Archetype]]: Lamington seems to think that Flonne is this, and she does indeed pass a lot of the qualifications, but whether or not she will live up to these expectations remains to be seen.
Line 418:
* [[Naive Newcomer]]: In the beginning when she joins the team.
* [[Nice Girl]]: Loving, caring and helpful.
* [[Nice to the Waiter]]: According to ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'', she is especially nice to the [[Butt Monkey|Prinnies]], who in turn have formed an unofficial fan club.
* [[No Sense of Direction]]: She got lost on her way home to Celestia once.
* [[One Head Taller]]: Flonne is exactly one head taller then Laharl.
* [[Otaku]]: Flonne is apparently a big fan of [[ninja]]s and [[Kaiju]].
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Arguably Lamington. Flonne got parents of her own in [[Disgaea Novels|the novels]], but this is never mentioned in the game. He talks about her with great pride and fate, and the game shows she had permission to speak to him casually, even thoughtthough she is a mere angel trainee, and he is no less then the [[Physical God|Seraph]].
* [[Percussive Maintenance]]: Flonne started smacking Mr. DVD-player mightily in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'' when it would play her Blu-ray Disc while cheering "Come on, Mr. DVD Player! You can do it!".
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Her archangel outfit; lots of ribbons, collar, mantelet, sleeves, several layers of petticoats, the inmost has golden heart embroidery, heart earrings and elegant sandals.
* [[Plucky Girl]]: When the going gets tough, Flonne might grow sceptical, but she always tackles the challenge head-on anyway.
* [[The Pollyanna]]: No matter what happens to her, she never gives up her ideals.
* [[The Power of Love]]: Flonne is a big believer in this and even has a healing skill of the same name.
* [[Pretty Freeloaders|Pretty Freeloader]]: Flonne is not often referred to as Laharl's vassal (despite Laharl forcibly conscripting her into the role after her failed assassination attempt), she lives at Overlord's castle free of charge, and her needs are taken care of by the Prinnies, which she feels bad about, as mentioned in ''Prinny 2''.
* [[Rank Up]]: From ''Disgaea 3'' Raspberyl Mode, ''Disgaea 4'' and out is Flonne the new Archangel, {{spoiler|replacing Vulcanus.}}.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Even moreso in ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]'', where her hair seems to have grown quite a bit.
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: 1509 years old.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Flonne telling off Vulcanus in a lengthy [[Kirk Summation]], to the applause of Laharl, Etna, and the Earth Defense Force.
* [[Reluctant Warrior]]: She hates fighting, and only does so when it's necessary to help Laharl.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Flonne’s ultimate decision. See [[To Be Lawful or Good]] below.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Quite a bit in the first game with Laharl. {{spoiler|The fact that Mid Boss claims Laharl and Flonne to be the ''knot that binds the Netherworld and Celestia'' helps.}}.
** In ''[[All There in the Manual|The World of Disgaea]]'' books 1 and 2, the relationship between them is described as “Loves?” Tease indeed.
** And the [[Disgaea Novels|''Disgaea'' novels]] take it even further.
** In ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'', Laharl’s eyes tear up when Flonne stays behind with the ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' crew instead of coming with him. In ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'', Laharl is upset that Flonne might be leaving the Netherworld (though he is in denial about it).
** [[Angel-Devil Shipping|Angel Demon Shipping]]: [[Invoked Trope|Literally]].
** Who could forget the final battle of the original game. Laharl goes into an [[Unstoppable Rage]] after he believes that Flonne is dead and can potentially kill the one responsible for it. Whether he strikes the final blow or not determines whether you get the "goodGood ending"Ending or the "normal ending"."
** Also of note is the opening theme of the Anime adaptation "Aishitageru", when translated into English, several things become clear. 1. It's obviously sung from her [[Point of View]]. 2. She admits she loves Laharl and sees past his Jerkass Facade. 3. Considers their meeting "a miracle". Who knows whether this will ever carry over into the games though, much less anything else.
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Arguably, Laharl is hers. His hate for love does rub her the wrong way, and their disagreement is a source of comedy.
* [[Smarter Than You Look]]: Flonne proves, several times throughout the game, to be smarter than what her [[Establishing Character Moment|initial introduction]] would have have the other characters [[The Ditz|believe]].
Line 453:
* [[Tareme Eyes]]: To counter Laharl’s [[Tsurime Eyes]].
* [[Thinking Out Loud]]: Flonne thinks loudly about her moral dilemma of whether or not assassinating someone she know/don't know is alright.
* [[To Be Lawful or Good]]: Flonne decides over the course of the games if she is going to be a dutiful angel and follow the laws of Celestia, or if she is going to fight for the rights and recognition of demons and humans to be considered equals to angels. {{spoiler|She settles on the latter and fights for it even at the cost of her life.}}.
* [[Token Good Teammate]]: She originally joins Laharl's group to understand demons and teach them about love.
* [[Toku]]: Flonne is a huge fan.
Line 464:
* [[Woman in White]]: White outfit and [[The Chosen One|very important]], yet a very [[Nice Girl]].
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: It's rather obvious that Flonne has been watching way too many Hero/Ninja/Giant-monster shows.
* [[You Are Worth Hell]]: {{spoiler|By the end of the first game, Flonne's life is even worth Prinnydom to Laharl.}}.
 
=== Mid-Boss/Vyers ===
Line 478:

* [[Agent Peacock]]: {{spoiler|Especially in his past life}}.
* {{spoiler|[[An Ice Person]]: Back when he was Krichevskoy.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Ascended Demon]]}}: He becomes one in the novels.
* {{spoiler|[[Badass Cape]]: King Krichevskoy had a nice red cape.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Berserker Tears]]: When his wife killed herself, he split the earth in half in grief.}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Bumbling Dad]]: King Krichevskoy was a respectable and great man overall according to those that knew him, but when he is acting as the Dark Adonis, he evidently turn himself into this.}}.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Though there are hints he purposely plays this up. {{spoiler|Later confirmed when we find out he was in league with Lamington the whole time.}}.
* [[Camp Straight]]: Though it may just be part of his facade, {{spoiler|if the fact that he's fathered a son is anything to go by...}}... On the other hand, {{spoiler|even as Laharl's father}}, he was known to be rather flamboyant and somewhat effeminate in manner by demon standards.
* [[Cape Wings]]: His jacket is his wings. {{spoiler|According to ''The worldWorld of Disgaea'' artbook, King Krichevskoy’s cape was his wings as well.}}.
* [[The Chew Toy]]
* [[Cultured Badass]]: He is, after all, a gentleman, {{spoiler|and as King Krichevskoy, he was even more sophisticated and badass}}.
* [[The Dandy]]
* [[Distracted by My Own Sexy]]: According to the Prinny Times, Vyers likes to stare into his mirror asking who’s the most adonic of them all.
* [[Doppleganger Attack]]: Seems to be a signature ability of his. His Adonic Fury, his signature skill, summons three other copies of himself to gang up on a single foe while his Super Adonis from ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' creates numerous copies that all magichange into a swords for him to throw. {{spoiler|Apparently, it is an ability that Krichevskoy had that carried over when he became Vyers. In ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]'', he has a suped-up version of Adonic Fury and before the fight, he creates three doppelgangers to aid him.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Doting Parent]]: We never see Laharl spend much time with Krichevskoy, but according to Etna, he thought of Laharl’s best until the very end, even though Laharl outright claimed he hated his old man. He also held great faith in Laharl, going so far as to put Etna and Flonne in charge of looking out for him to ensure that he succeeds, even after his death.}}.

* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: {{spoiler|Has re-acquired the [[Hair Antennae]] after reclaiming his identity as Krichevskoy in ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]''}}.
* [[Expy]]: Vyers' personality and looks are very similar to that of Crowdia from ''[[Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure]]''.
* {{spoiler|[[Failure Is the Only Option|Failing As A Father Is The Only Option]]: King Krichevskoy and Laharl did not seems to connect, which probably made it difficult to teach Laharl all the important stuff a father should teach his son. Solution? Act like a unknown doofus and beat the knowledge right into his skull!}}!

* [[Feather Motif]]: In his cameo in ''[[Phantom Brave]]'' and his appearance as DLC in ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'', Vyers shows in a soft explosion of white feathers.

* [[Hero Antagonist]]
* {{spoiler|[[Hot Dad]]: As he constantly proclaims himself to be.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[I Let You Win]]: Vyers makes up petty excuses to end fights with Laharl, allowing him to win and [[Stealth Mentor|get stronger]].}}.
** And if the loss is truly on his side, count on it being due to his bad case of acid reflux or severe constipation.
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: "The daaaark Adonis!!"
* [[Instant Bandages]]

* [[Petal Power]]: His Adonic Blast.

* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]

* {{spoiler|[[Satan Is Good]]: Satan is never mentioned in the Disgaea series, but the closest physical equivalent are the Overlords, and Overlord Krichevskoy was not only good but also a longtime friends with the physical [[Omniscient Morality License|God]] equivalent Seraph Lamington. Amusingly, Lamington and possibly Krichevskoy both answer to God.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Second Love]]: As Krichevskoy in the novels.}}.
* [[Set the World on Fire]]: Occurs during his third special in ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]''.

In the novels, this happens in a similar way.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level in Badass]]: As of ''Disgaea 4'', he has regained the power he had as Krichevskoy and is going by his former name.}}.
* [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]]: Although he's treated as a joke by most of the characters, the first boss fight against him is not a walk in the park, especially if you're under leveled.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]

* [[Younger Than They Look]]: {{spoiler|Physically, he can't be more than two years old. Of course, King Krichevskoy was much older.}}.
* [[Your Eyes Can Deceive You]]: Vyers’ “advice” to Laharl in the Maderas chapter.
 
Line 584:
{{quote|On Earth, he was a courageous and celebrated hero that descends from a long line of equally courageous and celebrated heroes. In the Netherworld, he's Laharl's recently acquired and usually mistreated slave thanks to an ill-placed bet on his victory. Even so, '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' is a [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Large Ham]] with a complete inability to keep quiet. As such, he will give his all in ''anything'' he does.}}
 
Tropes associated with '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''':
* [[Badass Normal]]: Gameplay-wise, he's really good with an axe and has some powerful skills, but within the story, he tends to be dismissed quite easily. It's implied in the boss fight against him that Laharl actually had to work at beating him harder than expected, however.
* [[The Big Guy]]
Line 590:
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: He's always got an upbeat speech ready for whatever situation presents itself, peppered with "Ha-ha-haaa!"'s.
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: He punctuates his unique moves with "Gordon Finish!".
* '''[[Captain Ersatz]], Pretender of'''... you get the idea.
* [[Captain Space, Defender of Earth!]]: The [[Trope Namer]].
* [[The Ditz]]
Line 608:
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: He loves his pizza.
* [[Twinkle Smile]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]] -: Episode 12: {{spoiler|When the EDF arrives to conquer the Netherworld, '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' stubbornly holds the assumption that they came to rescue the Defenders of Earth despite the overwhelming evidence of them [[Unwitting Pawn|being used]], and when Jennifer tried to directly warn him, he instead decides to dismiss Jennifer as his Assistant (causing Jennifer's [[Heroic BSOD]]) only to completely regret it a [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|few moments]] [[My God, What Have I Done?|later]].}}.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: [[Disgaea Infinite|He is afraid of cockroaches]].

{{quote|Sidekick of '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' Jennifer is busty, blonde, scantily clad and, against the rest of the group's expectations, brilliant. Jennifer is thoroughly skilled in subjects ranging from Robotics to Martial Arts and generally serves as the brains for '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' Though technically in the same predicament as he, Jennifer seems to have gotten the much better deal out of it, likely because Laharl vehemently refuses to stand within five feet of her. As such, she seems to enjoy pushing Laharl's buttons and is something of a [[Cool Big Sis]] for Flonne and Etna. Considering her initial talk of [[Naughty Tentacles|tentacle demons]], she seems to have a rather [[Covert Pervert|dirty mind]].}}
 
Tropes associated with Jennifer:
* [[Anal Probing]]: Jennifer ask Laharl and co. if the demons (who basically are aliens in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' universe) anal probed them.
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
Line 623 ⟶ 624:
* [[Boobs of Steel]]
* [[Buxom Is Better]]: Laharl calls Jennifer sexy specifically because she got big breasts, subverted trope because he does not think it makes her better at all.
* [[Character Exaggeration]]: In the Animeanime, her [[Gainaxing]] tendencies are greatly exaggerated.
* [[Cool Big Sis]]
* [[Covert Pervert]]: [[Fanon]] has her as this, due to a single comment she made about being molested by [[Naughty Tentacles]].
Line 630 ⟶ 631:
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]}} -: The result of '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''''s [[What the Hell, Hero?]] moment. {{spoiler|She gets better}} soon after [[Heel Face Turn|Kurtis']] [[Heroic Sacrifice]].
* [[Hot Scientist]]
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]
* [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|Mad Generals Beautiful Daughter]]: She is adopted though.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]: American? Most likely (in [[Disgaea Novels|the novels]], they do live in [[Eagle Land|America]]). Blond hair and blue eyes? Duh.
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: In the game and anime, Jennifer has shown shades of this regarding Laharl's relationship with Flonne. In ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'', however, she takes it [[Up to Eleven]] by being a shipper for almost ''every'' demon who passes by her.
** In the [[Disgaea Novels|novels]], she quite noticeably ships Laharl and Flonne, even though her own daughter is in love him.
* [[Smarter Than You Look]]: She "obtained every PHD by the age of ten,", though her appearance wouldn't give you that impression.
* [[The Smart Guy]]
* [[Stripperiffic]]
* [[The Talk]]: She likes teaching sex-ed, according to ''[[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?|Prinny 2]]''.
** She tries to give Laharl [[The Talk]] in the original game, just flustering Laharl worse.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: She hates Sea Cucumbers according to ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]''. [[Covert Pervert|Given the above]], take that as you will...

{{quote|Described on the main page as "a big ball of tropes, delivered one right after the other." Gets very little time during this game, but plays a bigger role in ''Cursed Memories''.}}
 
Line 674 ⟶ 676:
* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]
* [[Dead Little Sister]]
* [[Expy]]: Very clearly based on Jet Link (aka Cyborg 002) from ''[[Cyborg 009]]''.
* [[Gag Nose]]: It's a family trait, inherited from {{spoiler|the ORIGINAL Defender of Earth}}, as he's his descendant.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
Line 680 ⟶ 682:
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: As opposed to most of the other characters, his scenes lack a lot of the comic relief the others do, which goes well with his status as one of the most [[Genre Savvy]] characters.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]
* [[Parody Sue]]: Laharl and Etna quickly catch on. For bonus irony, he's basically everything Gordon has the mannerisms for, but does far more competently, but with less reknown.
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]}}
* [[The Rival]]: To '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!'''
Line 686 ⟶ 688:
* [[Taking the Bullet]]
* [[Troperiffic]]
* [[Why Couldn't You Save Them?]]: His [[Start of Darkness]]. {{spoiler|his family was killed in a terrorist attack, and even though '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' caught the ones responsible, the fact that Gordon couldn't prevent the tragedy made Kurtis decide to become a better Defender of Earth than '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' could. No matter what}}...}}

Tropes associated with Seraph Lamington:
* [[Angelic Beauty]]
* [[The Atoner]]: He accepts his fate at Laharl's hands due to his actions at the end. {{spoiler|Of course, said fate is not necessarily bad.}}.
* [[Battle Cry|Battle Cries]]: "Thy will be done." "Forgive me, oh Lord.".
* [[Big Good]]
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: While Laharl invades in the manga, he's busy baking cookies.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: {{spoiler|A rare good one. The entire plot is essentially a giant [[Batman Gambit]] to bring peace between Celestia and the Netherworld. He's even smart enough to use the evil schemes of his treacherous right hand man which he knew about the whole time as part of his plan.}}.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]
* [[Eccentric Mentor]]

{{quote|The main villain of the game. An angel, albeit an extremely ugly one. Has very little tolerance for Flonne's screw-ups, and insists on correcting them himself.}}
 
Tropes associated with Vulcanus:
* [[Battle Cry|Battle Cries]]: "Hah." "Heh heh heh heh heh." "I am justice"."
* [[Big Bad]]
