Line 18:
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: She says the names of the weapons she uses when she unleashes them after fully charging them.
* [[Cartoon Bomb]]: When using Zornesbombe.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: In her case, defeating her friends in combat means that she is able to convince them that the rebellion is going to be less than worth it. She ends up being right {{spoiler|for [[Right for Thethe Wrong Reasons|different reasons]] than she initially thought.}}
* [[Determinator]]: She never gives up, no matter what. And it's all part of her unrivaled sense of justice gig.
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]
* [[Elemental Baggage]]: Whenever she uses an elemental weapon outside the stage she got it from (Zornebombe, Klageharnish, Freudenstachel)
* [[Hair Decorations]]: A [[Creepy Cool Crosses|cross-shaped]] hairclip, specifically.
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]] himself, right down to her personality.
* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[Hair of Gold]]
Line 34:
** To be fair, Tia's friends and even Michael (the Magi leader, who starts the whole coup) also don't know that {{spoiler|Iris has planned it all}}. The only one knowing this is Grolla. {{spoiler|Iris}} being "kidnapped" doesn't help.
* [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him|If You Kill Her You Will Be Just Like Her]]: She's really good at this, seeing how {{spoiler|she actually just tells Iris to give up on her reign of terror rather than killing her for the [[Complete Monster]] she is after defeating her in the final battle. Of course, Iris retaliates with telling her that she let her guard down and self-destructs her palace in an attempt to kill her. Luckily for Tia, Talos, whom she had freed earlier, saves her, and happily reunites her with her friends}}.
* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Even if she {{spoiler|was manipulated by Iris, ends up as [[Right for Thethe Wrong Reasons]], gets a [[Heroic BSOD]] upon being attacked and fatally hurt by Iris, and refuses to forgive her for having everybody attack each other just for her amusement}}, Tia is shown to be this since she condemns RKS's rebellion against the Empire and is willing to protect her loved ones without letting anybody be sacrificed, thus refusing to take part in the rebellion itself.
* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: Her fully-charged Seelegewehr.
* [[The Klutz]]
Line 44:
'''Trau''': Oh? What exactly did you take me for? A pacifist? Hardly. I just don't like wasting effort. And that's exactly what you're doing right now, Tia.<br />
'''Tia''': That's not true...! }}
* [[Oh, No, Not Again]]: Immediately muttered by her as soon as the Imperial Training Hall starts shaking for the second time after Talos flies off with Iris in tow and Lilli follows.
{{quote| '''Tia''': Not again! The place is under attack!}}
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Girl]]
Line 50:
* [[Power Gives You Wings]]: She has her Silberflügel "Eins" and Silberflügel "Zwei", both which are abilities to create platforms with wings.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: If she didn't wear her hair in a ponytail (her huge one still reaches significantly down her back regardless).
* [[Right for Thethe 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.
* [[This Cannot Be!]]: ''"I can't believe it...! The Count is even using the forbidden arts!?"''
Line 58:
{{quote| '''Freu''': (about Tia's refusal to kill her) You possess so much power, yet you cannot do something so simple? Are your ideals truly that important to you?<br />
'''Tia''': This has nothing to do with ideals, Freu. I just want to protect the people from RKS as much as I want to protect the people of RKS, that's all... }}
* [[Tomato in Thethe 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|Lilli}}''': {{spoiler|[[I Am What I Am|Tia will always be Tia!]]}} [[Shut UP, Hannibal|So there!]]<br />
Line 83:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: She says "Hunya!" so often that it's practically her catchphrase.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Expy]]: Sprite-wise, she looks like a Cyber-Elf from ''[[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Mega Man Zero]]'' series. Functionally, she works like Beat from ''[[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]] 5''.
* [[Fairy Companion]]: To Tia.
* [[Genki Girl]]: Possibly.
Line 94:
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: "{{spoiler|[[I Am What I Am|Tia will always be Tia!]]}} So there!"
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: See Tia above.
* [[We Cannot Go Onon 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]]
 
Line 138:
* [[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.
* [[Shout-Out]]: One of her [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|Pre Asskicking One Liners]] was inspired by ''[[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Mega Man X]] 4'', which had a similar phrase said by one of the bosses.
{{quote| '''Freudia''': I'll lay you to rest in a cool bed of ice.}}
* [[Sword Beam]]: Her Eisschwert creates these. [[Instant Ice, Just Add Cold|Which freeze opponents into blocks of ice upon contact with them]].
Line 165:
* [[Cry Cute]]: Gets some tears in her eyes when she's humiliated... in a cute way.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
* [[Expy]]: If she isn't a [[Bomberman (Video Game)|Bomberman]] expy she was at least very heavily inspired by the series.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]
Line 208:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Her [[Berserk Button]] will be pressed if her friend Zorne has been defeated. She even combines it with a [[Let's Get Dangerous]].
* [[The Big Girl]]: Only she's much more composed than her close friend.
* [[Blade Onon a Stick]]: Her Chaos Spear, Leviathan.
* [[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]]
Line 215:
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Doppelganger Attack]]: When she charges after [[Turns Red|Turning Red]], she can produce transparent holographic copies of herself generated from Leviathan that charge seconds after she does so.
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Her seashell hair clip that she wears on her blue hair, which is shaped similarly to [[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Leviathan]]'s helmet.
* [[Expy]]: She could very well be a retroactive expy of [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Splash Woman]]. Though both could be expies of Leviathan.
** Also, her spear is named after Leviathan herself.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|Girly Girl]]: To Zorne's Tomboy.
* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: This is what she thought at first when she took part in RKS' rebellion. She eventually changed her mind when Tia (and Grolla) bested her.
* [[Kill It Withwith Water]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: "28" by [[AM 3]] (RKS stage theme), "Inferiority" by Unlimited Hellest (Talk theme)
* [[Leotard of Power]]
Line 253:
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|Her other weakness is her own weapon, Lustatem. You can try it when you fight Luste Golem in Iris Stage 3.}}
* [[Idiot Hero]]: ''"Ah! It takes one to know one!"''
* [[Kid Appeal Character]]
Line 311:
* [[Did You Actually Believe?]]: ''"You think I would fall for the same trick twice!?"''
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: {{spoiler|She didn't care if Iris was a god, a human, or even an insect, she was willing to punch her out anyway}}!
* [[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.
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: In Grollschwert mode. Her dashing and wall jumping abilities break the stages in ways Tia never can, but she can't take a hit for her life. May or may not also count as [[Glass Cannon]]. Ironic, as she's the only character who wears an armor.
Line 378:
* [[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).
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Dio Brando]], [[Touhou|Sakuya Izayoi]] or even Flash Man from ''[[Mega Man 2 (Video Game)|Mega Man 2]]''.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|Girly Girl]]: To Grolla's Tomboy.
Line 385:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Moreso in the second game. She has huge breasts while wearing a low-cut tube top in addition to [[Bare Your Midriff]] above.
* [[Not So Stoic]]: She uses this expression whenever she's worried about Grolla after she retreats when she tries to order her to lower her weapon and not hurt {{spoiler|Iris (despite the [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]] pulled off by her, which she didn't know about)}} and when she shows sadness when Grolla uses up her last life against her and again when the two bid farewells to one another after Grolla defeats her.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Her stage, power, and boss fight are all a shout out to Dio Brando form [[Jo JoJojo]]'s Bizarre Adventure; even your death screen for that stage is drawn in the style of the manga, with Tia saying Jotaro's catchphrase.
** Her emerald shard attacks are also a [[Shout-Out]] to Noriaki Kakyoin's Emerald Splash attack from the same anime.
* [[The Stoic]]: Except during some events where she shows a sad / worried expression.
Line 413:
* [[Cry Cute]]
* [[Detached Sleeves]]: Of course.
* [[Girl in Thethe Tower]]: In the first game.
* [[Innocent Flower Girl]]: She loves flowers and is sweet and innocent despite her incapability of controlling her powers, after all.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "30" by [[AM 3]] (RKS stage theme), "dear" by Unlimited Hellest (Talk theme)
Line 436:
{{hardline}}
=== Tropes related with Schwer-Muta: ===
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Her outfit seems to resemble either a cat or a wolf (see the [[Everything's Worse Withwith Wolves]] trope below).
* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Her weapon is a wall of maces.
** Or daggers. Or crosses. It's hard to tell.
*** They do look like maces though. Whatever they are, it sure looks [[Everything's Better Withwith Spinning|spin]] - [[Incredibly Lame Pun|tastic]].
* [[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.
Line 447:
** 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."
* [[Everything's Squishier Withwith Cephalopods]]: Her squid sidekick, Zeppy.
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Wolves]]: Her costume looks just like a wolf. Or it could be [[Cats Are Mean|a cat suit]].
** [[Captain Obvious|It could be obvious]] because of the large, fluffy tail.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Hikikomori]]
* [[The Kid Withwith the Remote Control]]: Inverted, as it's Zeppy the squid who's in control of not only what it does, but also sometimes Schwer's actions as well. Zeppy is not only Schwer's pet and closest friend, he's also able to show signs of expression as a way of showing expression itself whenever Schwer doesn't. Oh, and he spits ink to help her in combat.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "33" by [[AM 3]] (RKS stage theme), "Little Mischief" by Ramine (Talk theme)
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]
Line 462:
* [[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.
* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]
* [[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 Nini]] 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."
 
Line 519:
 
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' Aigon}}
The (former) boss of RKS and Iris' dad. An imperial nobleman, he's an authority on magic research and a powerful Magus. He's looked up to like a father to all the other RKS members, especially his adopted daughter Zorne, who, despite the lack of blood ties, even regards him as her real father for saving her life once. He made a [[Deal Withwith the Devil]] and launched a coup against the Empire to {{spoiler|(supposedly)}} protect Iris and help the Magi build a world just for them, and was ultimately [[Killed Off for Real]] in the end {{spoiler|by Iris}}.
 
{{hardline}}
Line 526:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type]] [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|3]].
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss|At first]].}}
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: He made a [[Deal Withwith 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 Withwith the Devil]]: JUST BECAUSE he cares for his fellow magi THAT MUCH.
* [[Expy]]: Of Dracula from [[Castlevania|Rondo of Blood]].
** He even shouts "Grant me power...!" before going [[One-Winged Angel]].
** 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 Withwith the Devil]].
* [[Fatal Flaw]]: He loved his biological daughter so much {{spoiler|that he trusted her too much to see the [[Complete Monster]] within her}}...
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: When he's charging as bats and transforming and in his demon form.
Line 538:
* [[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]]
* [[Obliviously Evil]]: Launching a coup against the Empire to build a new world for Magi and ensure his daughter's safety lands him with the dubious honor of being a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]. Of course, he had no idea that [[Right for Thethe Wrong Reasons|what he was doing was wrong, but Tia knew so...]] {{spoiler|[[Right for Thethe Wrong Reasons|for the wrong reasons]].}}
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: His demon form.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: See [[Expy]] above.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Secret Keeper]]: He states that he shared Iris' secret with only the select few he felt he could trust. He even mentions this:
Line 581:
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Plan]]: She pulls this off on Grolla in ''Grollschwert'' starting with a [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]] where she makes it look like she's an innocent girl being threatened when Sichte walks in. With this, she makes Grolla look like a traitor to the organization and arranges for her daddy to order her execution. And that's not all; she even arranges to have Sir Raimund brought [[Back From the Dead]] as part of her plan to make Grolla suffer.}}
** {{spoiler|She even knew that Zorne had always hated her straight from the beginning, so knowing she herself was her dad's entire world, she planned to make Zorne suffer by pulling off a [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]] on the Graf after he was beaten by Tia/Grolla. And won.}}
* [[Expy]]: {{spoiler|Of Dr. Wily, and [[Mega Man X (Video Game)|Lumine]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Final Boss]]}}
* {{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.}}
Line 590:
* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|She does this quite a lot throughout the first game, such as killing a priest in the beginning of ''Grollschwert'' just for laughs. Also, what other better time for her to do this than to [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|kill her own dad because she no longer had a need for him?]] Sheesh, give the old man a break, damn it!}}
* [[Killer Rabbit]]
* [[Large Ham]]: Aww, she's so cute when she throws in a large word in one of her sentences. Yep, she definitely loves chewing the scenery, especially {{spoiler|with her [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|Wounded Gazelle Gambits]] that she's so fond of pulling off on everybody else}}, and she has quite a few moments of throwing in huge words to gain more respect from the audience. That's right, [[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini|Beatrice]], feel free to applaud!
* [[Leitmotif]]: Lots, to be exact. {{spoiler|"Power of God, Human Heart" by Unlimited Hellest (main theme), "18" by [[AM 3]] (Iris Stage 3 theme), "Heavy Snake" by Unlimited Hellest (Iris Stage 3 talk theme), "Pray to Muse For..." by Song! Cat Room: Unkolyn (Iris Stage 3 boss theme), "The Devil Loves a Fallen Angel" by Unlimited Hellest (RKS Final Stage talk theme), "Last Battle ~Requiem for Myself~" by Song! Cat Room: Unkolyn}}
* {{spoiler|[[Light Is Not Good]]}}
Line 623:
* [[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.
** {{spoiler|And her dad, you forgot her dad. She also pulls this in the final battle after she's beaten, furthering her resemblance to [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]] villain, Dr. Wily. And knowing that there's a sequel, she'll probably make an appearance...}}
* {{spoiler|[[Xanatos Gambit]]: She pretty much pulled this off on Tia as well. To start things off, she made it look like she was kidnapped by her own dragon slave Talos just so she could get Tia to pick up her pendant. Then again, she had always wanted to play the "damsel in distress" part.}}
* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: {{spoiler|The Empire feared Iris for her plan to usurp God and wanted her dead, and Karl saw through her and tried to dispose of her. Of course, being the [[Magnificent Bastard]] she is, she was always one step beyond the Empire's best strategies, and she even had Karl locked up because [[He Knows Too Much]]. She manipulated RKS into launching a coup against the Empire just for kicks, and neither Tia nor RKS knew of it. The only one who knew of Iris' threat was Grolla. Iris knew that Grolla would attempt to kill her anyway now that she had overheard her plans and attacked her, so she had a backup strategy in the form of a [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]] pulled on her. And if that's not enough, she also had another backup strategy in the form of laying bare her plan to make Grolla suffer by arranging for her dad to bring Sir Raimund [[Back From the Dead]] as [[The Grim Reaper]].}}
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|She pulls this on her father after the battle with him. She would have done the same to Spiritia if not for a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment from Freudia reminiscent of [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Proto Man]].}}
 
 
Line 671:
* [[Cheerful Child]]
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Expy]]: Of Rush from [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]]. She ''actually'' creates ice sculptures that look just like him that help Freu in similar manners to Rush himself!
* [[Fairy Companion]]: To Freu. Duh.
* [[Idiot Hair]]
Line 754:
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Her default expression, only without the creepy smile. Unless she acts out of character, she usually has this.
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: She appears to be this, but this is actually subverted, as her emotions actually violently fluctuate, making her sometimes act out of character.
* [[Expy]]: Her design quite resembles Ilya of [[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]].
* [[Green Thumb]]: She appears to be an ice-user due to her clothing, but she actually manipulates plants instead.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Except her hair's a lot more pale.
Line 819:
* [[Evil Genius]]: Lecht, who of course loves to read books.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Lecht.
* [[Expy]]: Their personalities are quite similar to Kei and Chihiro Shindo from [[Ef: aA Fairy Tale of Thethe Two.]].
* [[Genki Girl]]: Rink is lively and outgoing and therefore possibly counts.
* [[Hikikomori]]: Lecht.
