(→‎Isis Petrovna Elenskaya: Adding trope; taking out the Sexless Marriage trope because the character never marries her fiancee in any of the game's routes.)
(replace redirects)
Line 254:
* [[Matchmaker Crush]]: {{spoiler|In Luceria's route, Isis had come to love Lute, but at the same time, she never actually declared it to him. Instead, she met with the King one night and told him about how Lute and Luceria were in love, and the King then went to Lute's room and discovered Luceria had sneaked in after hours on her own, which was something her mother had done when she had fallen in love with him. Thus, he acknowledged and approved of their love and formally announced not only their marriage but also that Lute would become the next king. In the end, Isis ends up crying her eyes out at their wedding over her missed chance at love with Lute. It works out better in the Harem route for both though}}.
* [[Mistreated Bride]]: She was in an arranged marriage to Motaire. She tried desperately to make it work between them, but he treats her like crap. {{spoiler|He cheats on her with other girls, and in her route, he tells her he has no feelings of attraction toward her whatsoever, he says to her face that if she were to die on a mission then that's all she was worth, she starts to cry from him saying all this to her, and he mocks her. He tells her that he fully intends to break off the engagement with her, because he has the right do so, and then he walks off with his groupies leaving her alone... Jeez, someone give her a hug. Icing on the cake? When she and Lute return to the capital after completing the mission, he tells her he lost a bet that she wouldn't make it back... Ass-hole}}.
* [[Mistreatment -Induced Betrayal]]: Played Straight and Inverted on her part.
** In the first-half of her route where she, Lute and a small company of soldiers trek into the Demon Woods which is said to be home to monsters, demonic creatures, and followers of the Hallowed Power. Her soldiers were so terrified of the rumors surrounding them (and the reputation that ALL prior expeditions into the forest ended with everyone dying) that they constantly questioned continuing the mission. It doesn't take long for them to get royally fed up with Isis's bitchiness (trying to force a scared person to stay somewhere while threatening them tends to not make one popular). Isis, {{spoiler|[[Freudian Excuse|although a world-class angry bitch in her own right initially, she had decent reason to be this way given her shitty fiance had recently said some downright cruel things to her that put her in a very self-destructive state of mind]]}}. That during the first night out, they flat out abandoned her and Lute alone in the woods either out of a combination of fear and spite.
** Furthermore, in her own route, toward the start of it, Motaire says some very cruel things to her, such as telling her that he didn't value her much less feel anything toward her except that he wanted to call off their engagement upon her return... IF she returned. Over the course of her route, she develops feelings for and then falls in love with Lute, who not only stayed with her on the mission when everyone else left, but saved her life in multiple ways AND treated her far better than anyone else, especially Motaire. Thus it's no surprise that at the end when {{spoiler|the Prime Minister tries to order her to execute Lute simply because he was supposedly (and he actually IS, but still) a hallowed demon, she instead goes to warn Lute and the two of them flee the kingdom together}}.
Line 452:
* {{spoiler|[[Easily Forgiven]]}}: {{spoiler|In the Harem route, after being freed alongside Lute from their executions, Isis and the others were prepared to punish her for framing Lute, but he intervenes and convinces them to forgive her. Why? [[Distracted by the Sexy|Because she's too sexy to execu-]] Oh! I mean, because she is necessary for overseeing the managerial side of politics. In fact, by the time of the epilogue set 1 year later, she was made the new Prime Minister of the kingdom replacing her father, and is also a member of Lute's personal loving harem}}.
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Zigzagged. Of course she ''has'' emotions, but thanks to the utter hell she endured being raised (and "raised" is used very very lightly in this case) by {{spoiler|the Prime Minister (aka her actual biological father, but he never acknowledges her as his child)}}, she was basically forced to suppress her emotions as a way of coping with what he puts her through and forces her to do for him. {{spoiler|Lute is the first and only man she met that was able to not only best her, but actually awakens her previously thought-to-be long since closed off emotions and desires. By the end of the Harem route, she is freed from the Prime Minister's influence and begins to openly express herself more and more}}.
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Zigzagged. {{spoiler|She does all sorts of terrible things while taking orders from the Prime Minister, aka her actual biological father. Why? She just wanted him to acknowledge her as his child, but he makes it clear that he would NEVER see her as anything more than a tool or an object for him to use and dispose of at his leisure. It's partially because of that that she eventually has a [[Mistreatment -Induced Betrayal]] leading to a [[High Heel Face Turn]]: for her to side with Lute, the first person to genuinely make her feel good, and see through to her true self. Though the other women are uneasy and distrusting toward her for a while, Lute would personally vouch for her}}.
* [[Face Death with Dignity]]: See {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]}} above. {{spoiler|When she was going to be executed alongside Lute, she pretty much welcomed it. Even figuring she'd likely go to Hell for all she had done. As she saw it, Hell couldn't have been much worse than what she was already living through under the grip of her father, the Prime Minister. They get rescued at the last second, and she tells everyone the truth about the Prime Minister's crimes, Bobon's attempted rebellion, and her own part in framing Lute. When all is said and done, Bobon and the Prime Minister get executed by General Felzen, Gladys, and Motaire. As for her, Gladys told her that they would leave her punishment up to Lute, and she calmly said she was ready to face execution for her crimes. Lute however, had forgiven her by then and said that they would need her knowledge in political management for when he would become king, so they keep her alive, and by the time of year later, Lute was king, and Emeralia was the new Prime Minister}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Good All Along]]}}: Even SHE was kinda surprised when Lute pointed it out to her. {{spoiler|She had been acting under orders from the Prime Minister to support his schemes she lost touch with her own emotions, until then}}.
Line 487:
* {{spoiler|[[Tenchi Solution]]}}: {{spoiler|She never manages to get her own singular route and ending where she ends up together with Lute, but the True Canon ending is the Harem Ending. In it, Lute marries Shamsiel, Roxanne, and Princess Luceria. As for Isis, Gladys, and Emeralia, he doesn't marry them, but they act as though they basically are}}.
* {{spoiler|[[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]}}: As mentioned in {{spoiler|[[Tenchi Solution]] above}}, she {{spoiler|never gets her own singular route where only she ends up together with Lute, but at the same time, it might be better for her that she ended up as part of Lute's harem in the true canon ending, because yes she isn't alone with Lute, but then she now at least has no reason to feel so alone or depressed anymore thanks to Lute and the other wives/lovers}}.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: {{spoiler|At first, she was seemingly completely this to the Prime Minister, but after her defeat by Lute, she starts caring more for him than obeying the Prime Minister, even leading to a [[High Heel Face Turn]] thanks to a [[Mistreatment -Induced Betrayal]]. By the epilogue of the Harem Route, she and the others in Lute's harem of wives/lovers have become this wholeheartedly to Lute}}.
* [[Victim Falls For Rapist]]: {{spoiler|She begins to develop feelings for Lute after he rapes her when she tries to put him under a mind control spell}}.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|"Well Done, Daughter" Girl]]: Screw the "Well Done..." part of this trope. {{spoiler|Emeralia straight up HATES the things she has to go through to "please" her biological father, the Prime Minister. All she wanted was to actually be acknowledged as his daughter, but that never happens. He even berates her when she calls him "father" accidentally. Thankfully though, she eventually gets over this and is able to get on with her life in peace... Somewhat thanks to her moving on, but extra help comes when her "father" gets executed for treason via decapitation.}}
