Line 187:
* [[Mysterious Waif]]: Eresh
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The alternate outfits worn by the Prince, Lyon and Kyle during certain sections of the plot are meant to invoke the outfits worn by McDohl, Cleo and Viktor in [[Suikoden I|the original game]]. You also get to go to an [[Suikoden IV|Island Nations]] city and fight a battle there with a remix of [[Suikoden IV]]'s battle soundtrack. Not to mention the recurring characters.
* [[Non-Idle Rich]]: Luserina Barows, a girl born in a dynasty of [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit|Upper Class Twits]] who lacks any of her relatives' haughtiness and actually performs the majority of the administrative business of their house.
** Sialeeds, the queen Arshtat's sister, officially tasked with [[Upper Class Wit|absolutely nothing]], served as a sort of counter-intelligence/micromanaging problem-solver for her sister, and had no problem [[Lady of War|engaging in combat herself]]. Arshtat probably intended for the prince to become this as well, until [[Call to Adventure|the plot just went and did the job for her.]] {{spoiler|[[The Call Knows Where You Live|By doing her in.]]}}
** There's also {{spoiler|Josephine, who's actually Shula's sister Yuma, who came to Haud in search of...''culture''.}}
Line 231:
* [[Small Girl, Big Gun|Small Girl Big Weapon]]: Faylen and her boomerang; Lu and her crossbow...
* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]: Luserina Barows. 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.
* [[Spare to the Throne]]: A non-royal example with the House of Barows. After his older brother Hiram was assassinated during the bloody Succession Conflict, Euram was thrust into the role of his father's heir, as well as dealing with his mother's extended [[Despair Event Horizon|BSOD]]. This stress of this helps shape him into the irritating [[Epic Fail|Epic Failing]] [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit]] everyone has to deal with during the events of the game, until [[Character Development]] enables him to grow out of it.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Dolph does this all the time.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: A disturbing example can be found in {{spoiler|Sagiri, a former Nether Gate assassin trained to smile while she killed her targets. It's her one and only expression. The people closest to her are actually waiting [[Tear Jerker|for the day she cries]].}}
Line 248:
** There's also {{spoiler|Roy, Lyon, and Feylen. Roy has the hots for Lyon, Feylen has the hots for Roy, and Lyon only has eyes for the prince.}}
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Faylen ''really likes'' Roy, but he's too interested in [[All Love Is Unrequited|Lyon]] to notice. {{spoiler|Even if he makes his [[Heroic Sacrifice]], his last thoughts are of ''Lyon'' while ''Faylen'''s the one who 'gets' to watch him die... ''[[Tear Jerker|Ouch]]''.}}
* [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit]]: Euram, through and through.
* [[UST]]: Between Lelei and Lucretia, and Lyon and the Prince.
** [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Lelei and Lucretia]] [[Hide Your Lesbians|may be resolved, however.]] [[Ambiguously Gay|Oboro's comments are suggestive but not conclusive. As in,]] [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha-level conclusive.]]
