Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The Godwin Faction

Marscal Godwin

Gizel Godwin

  • Affably Evil
  • Arranged Marriage: Had one to Sialeeds when he was a kid.
  • Belligerent Sexual Tension: Has some with Sialeeds, though it comes off more as mutual bemused Foe Yay.
  • Bishounen
  • Blue Blood
  • The Charmer
  • Duel Boss
  • Enigmatic Minion: He doesn't share his father's extremist views, but still supports him for his own reasons, helping him to organise a coup in Sol-Falena on the night of his engagement banquet to Princess Lymsleia.
  • Mr. Fanservice
  • Love Makes You Evil: It's implied in the manga that part of his motivation for plotting against the queendom is because the princesses' vow to never marry destroyed his engagement to Sialeeds.
  • Manipulative Bastard: What he's become, according to Sialeeds, his ex-fiancé.
  • Suicide By Prince
  • Villainous Valor: Only at the end of the Game. When the Loyalist army storms the palace, he waits with Lymsleia in the throne room. At first it seems like he's holding her hostage, but Lym calls his bluff. He then revels that he simply wanted to talk with the Prince. After a conversation about the well meaning intentions that lead to the war in the first place, then challenges the Prince to a one-on-one duel. The Prince is by that point a seasoned warrior; Gizel knew that, and was quite aware that he would (most likely) not survive.
  • Xanatos Roulette: His favorite type of plan. Lampshaded by Marscal and Sialeeds, who point out that his Stormfist plan only succeeded through blind luck - the plan being to conive and cheat his way to victory in the Sacred Games, and thereby winning Princess Lymsleia's hand in marriage and ultimately securing power for the Godwin Faction.
    • Villain Ball: It should be noted that his planning tends to have repercussions for him in the long run. The above spoiler is of particular note, as his machinations tipped off the Royal Family, which ultimately enabled the Prince to escape during the Coup due to the precautions they(the Royals) had set up.

Dolph

Childerich

Dilber Novum

Bahram Luger

House of Barows

Salum Barows

Euram Barows

Luserina Barows

  • And Now for Someone Completely Different: She is used to swap party members in and out of the Prince's team. She's also nothing like the rest of her family.
  • Arranged Marriage: Salum continuously tries to get her into one with the Prince.
  • The Atoner: Feels she has to be one for her family's actions, even though she's not asked to.
  • Blue Blood: The Noble House of Barrows.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: It's implied in a few scenes that she has a crush on the Prince.
  • English Rose: Her character type.
  • Hair Decorations: She sports an alice band.
  • Hair of Gold: She sports a veritable river of long, wavy honey blonde hair.
  • Proper Lady / Silk Hiding Steel: She's sweet and graceful and apparently stays home while her dad and brother politic in the capital. However, if you talk around Rainwall, you'll find out that she is the one running the place. She also takes part in the coming battles as 'morale', in other words, encrouaging them to victory.
  • Purity Personified: Looks the part and mostly acts the part, but she abandoned her family rather easily.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Whereas she is demure, polite and kind, her brother Euram is foppish, spoilt and cowardly.
  • Spoiled Sweet: Compared to her Smug Snake dad and Upper Class Twit brother, its amazing she turns out so helpful and kind.
  • The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter: Some characters can't believe they're related, and this is only one of the reasons.

  • Duel Boss
  • Dumb Muscle
  • The Giant: He's huge.
  • Gentle Giant: The only time he fights is when he's been misled into believing that the prince is trying to steal Luserina's wedding present. Afterwards, he swears he never wants to get into a fight again.
  • I Owe You My Life: Luserina fed him when he was starving to death.
  • Man Child
  • Undying Loyalty: To Luserina.
  • Wolverine Claws: His weapon of choice - a vicious, spiked glove.
