Line 10:
* {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]}}
* [[Badass]]
* [[Becoming the Mask]]:
** [[Going Native]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Anything having to do with Stella.
* [[Chaste Hero]]: Shirley and Chloe both have crushes on him, though {{spoiler|the only girl he was ever romantically interested in was Stella, who is dead.}} [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Stealthily subverted]] at the beginning of Will's quest, which contains an oblique reference that maybe he's not so chaste after all.
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]
* [[Determinator]]
* [[Facial Markings]]: In ''Radiant Mythology'', [[Tales of Rebirth|Annie]] starts talking about his "scar" and how it must've hurt. Senel admits that it's a tattoo and he just got it because he thought it'd look cool. [http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/4936/marinetrooper.jpg It's the symbol of the marine troopers.]
* [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: As noted above, the first main character to avert this in the ''[[Tales (series)]]''
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: He starts out a [[Jerkass]], but he genuinely does care about Shirley's well-being. Eventually, he loses the "Jerk" part.▼
* [[Is That Cute Kid Yours]]: At the start of Will's quest, when he, Shirley, and Harriet are trying to get everyone together to find the abandoned baby's parents. When he first sees Shirley with the baby, though, his reaction is more along the lines of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Is That Cute Kid]] ''[[But I Can't Be Pregnant|Ours]]''.
▲* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: He starts out a [[Jerkass]], but he genuinely does care about Shirley's well-being. Eventually, he loses the "Jerk" part.
* [[Mistaken for Cheating]]: Very briefly in the Character Quests, during the scene where Grune tries to wake him up, fails, and decides to take a nap in his bed instead (Senel is on the floor). Shirley is ''not pleased'' for all of half a minute until the situation clarifies itself.
* [[Not Blood Siblings]]: He and Shirley claim to be brother and sister, but they're not actually related.
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
* [[Somebody Else's Problem]]: Early-on, if it doesn't involve himself or Shirley, he doesn't care. He gets heavily called out on this, and eventually gets better.
* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: He basically views Stella as a [[Purity Sue]], overlooking a good deal of her negative traits. To be fair, {{spoiler|he was madly in love with her.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
----
* [[Apocalypse Maiden]]:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]:

Shirley puts up with it for a long time because she wants Senel to be happy, but eventually [[Brainwashed and Crazy|she]] [[Yandere|loses it...]] Later in the character quests, {{spoiler|she's on the verge of stepping aside ''again''--for Chloe this time--despite being engaged to Senel. At least before she and Chloe air out their feelings and Chloe admits that she's never going to get anywhere with him and knows it.}}▼
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Though she specializes in magic, her weapon itself is a pen.
* [[Is That Cute Kid Yours]]: In Will's quest; see Senel's profile for details.
▲* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]
* [[The Load]]
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: Senel and Stella tried to keep {{spoiler|Senel's past as a child soldier}} from her. When she learns the truth, she's ''much'' more upset about not being trusted and included than she is about what she's being told.
* [[Love Martyr]]
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
* [[More Hero Than Thou]]: During the whole Waterways incident. Shirley was rescuing herself quite capably in all the confusion up until Fenimore and Walter caught the [[Distress Ball]]; Shirley, not seeing herself as more important than them, lets herself get captured again in order to distract Vaclav from the two of them.

* [[Yandere]]: Played with. {{spoiler|Her Merines powers are activated because of Fenimore's death, but she doesn't give in to Nerifes completely until she gets hit in the face with the degree to which Senel and Stella kept her in the dark, reminding her of how badly Senel has always rejected her.}}
