The characters from the game [[
[[File:lloyd.jpg|frame]]
''"Dwarven Vow #1: Let's all work together for a peaceful world"''
A 17-year-old human who was raised by a dwarf, Lloyd leaves his home town of Iselia to follow his childhood friend Colette on her World Regeneration Travel after having been [[You Can't Go Home Again|banished]] from the village, where he's held responsible for [[Doomed Hometown|the attack]] they suffered from the Desians. At the beginning of the game, Lloyd is a typical [[Wide
Tropes associated with Lloyd:
Line 25:
* [[Does Not Like Spam|Does Not Like Tomatoes]]
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Done out of a belief that having two swords makes him twice as powerful as if he has one. The fact that dual-wielding is an unusual combat style is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Kratos at one point; Lloyd's (rather poorly thought-out) response is the trope's page quote.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Mostly through altered artes.
** [[Blow You Away]]: The only element he can learn naturally in the original game.
** [[Playing
** [[Shock and Awe]]
* [[Expy]]: Somehow, Lloyd resembles [[Trigun|Vash the Stampede]] in terms of character... And he wears red!
*
* {{spoiler|[[Has Two Mommies|Has Two Fathers]]: Lloyd has two fathers, Dirk being his adopted father and Kratos being his biological father.}}▼
* [[Happily Adopted]]
▲* {{spoiler|[[Has Two Mommies|Has Two Fathers]]: Lloyd has two fathers, Dirk being his adopted father and Kratos being his biological father.}}
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]
*
** Suffers one after {{spoiler|Colette loses her soul}}.
** He also has a brief one after discovering that {{spoiler|Kratos is his father}}.
*
*
*
* [[I Gave My Word]]: Why he's so dead-set on going back to the Iselia ranch is {{spoiler|because he promised to save Chocolat}}, despite there being somewhat more important matters going on at the time.
▲* [[Idiot Ball]]: Lloyd will occasionally be handed the ''intelligence'' ball that will give him spontaneous moments of insight before he turns back into a moron again. These moments become more common later in the game, such as when {{spoiler|after releasing all the seals, he gets the idea to blast the tree with Tethe'alla's summon spirits' energy}}, and when, shortly thereafter, remembers that Chocolat was taken to Iselia.
▲* [[Idiot Hero]]: At first. This changes once [[Character Development]] settles in and he becomes more of [[The Messiah]] and a great leader instead.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Very quick and has good attack power.
* [[Likes Older Women]]: Becomes this in ''Dawn of the New World'', unless you pair him up with Colette. He'll still comment on the attractiveness of older women even if you do, however.
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Has this pulled on him, though his father himself wasn't responsible for [[The Reveal]]. Lloyd even does the "NO!!!" shout.}}
▲* [[Likes Older Women]]: Becomes this in ''Dawn of the New World'', unless you pair him up with Colette. He'll still comment on the attractiveness of older women even if you do, however.
* [[The Messiah]]
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]
* [[No Infantile Amnesia]]: He reveals in one skit {{spoiler|to [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Kratos]]}} that he remembers being held by his father and watching stars together. Since then he always made sure to count stars on the night sky. He was about 3 years old when he lost his parents.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: ''Especially'' where Sheena is concerned. Ultimately, subverting this trope is [[Relationship Values|completely up to the player.]]
* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: Can wield [[Improbable Weapon User|twin fans]] as his [[Joke Item|Joke Weapon]].
▲* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: Can wield [[Improbable Weapon User|twin fans]] as his [[Joke Item|Joke Weapon]].
* {{spoiler|[[Power Gives You Wings]]}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Red to Genis, Kratos and Regal. Empathised with Kratos by obtaining ([[
* [[Rogue Protagonist]]: One of the main plots in Dawn of the New World.
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]
* [[Spam Attack]]: Lloyd has by far the most of these, though they're something of a mixed bag; spam attacks are one of the best ways to get an enemy spellcaster to "flinch" out of their incantation, but enemies that can go into [[Turns Red|Overlimit]] do so based on the number of hits they've taken.
* [[Standing in
* [[Sword Beam]]: Demon Fang, his first technique and the one he tends to use in scenes.
* [[Tell Me About My Father|Tell Me About My Mother]]
* [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself]]: {{spoiler|The duel against Kratos.}}
* [[Took a Level
* [[The Unchosen One]] ▼
* [[Too Many Belts|Two Belts]], although it's justified in that he carries two swords.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: He doesn't realize that he actually does this by {{spoiler|trying to get recognized by Kratos, as Kratos is his father.}}
{{quote|
* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]
* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Mother]]: {{spoiler|Lloyd ''tries'', dealing a serious wound to Kvar, but Kratos [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|infamously]] one-ups him for the kill. It later turns out that [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|Kratos had a higher rating on the Scale of Justified Revenge]].}})
[[File:colettetos.jpg|frame]]
Line 91 ⟶ 89:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
*
* [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday]]: Her dangerous journey to save the world starts the day after her 16th birthday.▼
* [[Definitely Just a Cold]]: For a large part of the game.▼
▲* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Colette is kidnapped twice during the course of the game. {{spoiler|Well, three times if she's the [[Victorious Childhood Friend]].}}
** Played straight 24/7 in the anime, in which the other characters don't let her fight.
▲* [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday]]: Her dangerous journey to save the world starts the day after her 16th birthday.
* [[The Ditz]]: To put it simply, THIS line.
{{quote|
'''Colette''' - I'm FINE. I'm not poisoned.
'''Lloyd''' - No, I mean, ME... }}
* [[Does Not Like Spam|Does Not Like Bell Peppers]] / [[Stock Yuck]]: {{spoiler|In fact, it becomes a plot point when she actually starts eating them.}}
Line 105 ⟶ 103:
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Wields a pair of chakrams.
* [[Effortless Amazonian Lift]]: Picks up ''[[The Big Guy|Regal]]'', of all people, and comments that he's lighter than she thought.
* [[Elemental Powers]]:
** [[An Ice Person]]: Through an altered arte.
** [[Holy Hand Grenade]]: Learns "Angel" class Light spells as she unlocks seals.
** [[Shock and Awe]]: Her Para Ball, Torrential Para Ball, and Grand Chariot are all lightning-based, making it her second most-used element.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: especially dogs. In fact, there's a [[Collection Sidequest]] for her meeting every dog in the game.
* [[Glass Cannon]]
*
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Heather Hogan]]
* [[Heroic Safe Mode]]: Has a minor one after she {{spoiler|regains her soul.}}
* [[The Ingenue]]
* [[Innocently Insensitive]]: It's not as apparent at some examples, but there are times when she comes out with this, such as seeing the Tethe'alla bridge being covered in
* [[It's Not You, It's My Enemies]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|When Remiel adds insult to injury at the Tower of Salvation. She also performs a ''literal'' dog-kicking moment after losing her soul.}}
* [[The Klutz]]: It's even one of her titles!
* [[Literal
{{quote|
'''Colette''': "I honestly don't see any mud on you. But, what's wrong with mud anyway? Everyone gets a little dirty now and again."
'''Marta''': "I don't think he meant that sort of mud."
'''Colette''': "Well then, what sort of mud did he mean?"
'''Emil''': "No, listen. There was never any mud to begin with."
'''Colette''': "Oh, so it was more of a muck? Or maybe a slime?" }}
* [[Love Freak]]: Especially showcased in the skit when she states that she'll have to ask ''an assassin trying to kill her'' about why she's doing it 'when they become friends'. {{spoiler|Which they eventually do.}}
Line 135 ⟶ 133:
* [[Messianic Archetype]]
* [[Nice Girl]]
* [[Not So Different]]: From Zelos when you think about it. {{spoiler|They both hide their insecurities behind their smile and insist that nothing is wrong. This tends to result in terrible consequences later. In Colette's case, by insisting that she's okay, the group has to save her life multiple times whether it's from sacrificing herself or from a 4000 year old sickness.}}
* [[One Note Chef]]: Almost every recipe, when made by her, will involve fruit in some form. This is actually lampshaded in one particular skit in ''Dawn of the New World''.
* [[Pettanko]]: [[Lampshaded]]; one of her titles is "Ironing Board."
Line 144 ⟶ 142:
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Rings of Death]]
* [[Sidetracked
* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]: A girl so sweet and eager to please, yet capable of redirecting her very specific quest into detours by making them ''sound'' like they're part of the quest. She also physically the strongest of the group.
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Obviously the exact reason she adores Lloyd so much.
* [[Spam Attack]]: Not as many as Lloyd, but still more than any other party member. In fact, the two of them have a Compound Unison Attack, Stardust Rain, which can deal in the neighborhood of sixty hits on larger enemies.
Line 152 ⟶ 150:
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Girly Girl to [[Bokukko|Sheena's]] tomboy.
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend|Victorious]] or [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Depending on your [[Relationship Values]], although [[Word of God]] says the former.
* [[Video Game Stealing]]: Her "Item Thief" ability, which [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Waif Fu]]: Manages to throw Zelos when meeting him the first time, and can pick up Regal, a tall, muscular convict, ''with one arm''.
** [[Super Strength]]
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Daughter Girl]]: To Remiel.
[[File:genis.jpg|frame]]
Line 171 ⟶ 169:
* [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Black Mage]]
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Does this a little ''too'' often, for being such an intelligent character...
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Does Not Like Spam|Does Not Like Carrots]] / [[Stock Yuck]]
* [[Elemental Powers]]:
** [[An Ice Person]]
** [[Blow You Away]]
** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]
** [[Light'Em Up]]: Only in his Strike path, however.
** [[Making a Splash]]
** [[Playing
** [[Shock and Awe]]
* {{spoiler|[[Fantastic Racism]]}}
* [[Fauxshadow]]
Line 194 ⟶ 192:
* [[Not So Different]]: {{spoiler|It's kind of obvious at times that Genis is basically just like Mithos used to be before Martel was killed.}}
* [[Parental Abandonment]]
*
* [[Shorter Means Smarter]]: The shortest member of the party, and roughly on par with Raine for intelligence.
* [[The Smart Guy]]
Line 204 ⟶ 202:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]
* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]: As his house burns, he laments that he thought Iselia was a place where he and Raine could settle down. {{spoiler|He's not actually from Sylvarant to begin with, but was forced to flee through the Otherworldly Gate}}.
[[File:raine.jpg|frame]]
Line 221 ⟶ 219:
* [[Berserk Button]]: People trying to do harm to ruins will regret it very soon...
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Loves technology and ancient artifacts a little ''too'' much at times...
* [[Character Filibuster]]:
** Casually belittling historical events is practically ''begging'' for lecture.
** During one scene she starts a long-winded lecture about an ancient site. After a few sentences the game lets you wander around while she continues. Her lecture doesn't stop until you stumble upon some guys trying to blow the site up, even if you reach the end of it... because [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|Colette asks her to repeat it]].
Line 227 ⟶ 225:
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Not a physical fighter, but Raine certainly has the right mindset. To increase her [[Relationship Values]], you must make pragmatic choices, such as saying that Sheena's an enemy, or the journey of regeneration takes precedence over freeing the prisoners at the Palmacosta ranch
* [[Cool Big Sis]]
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]
* [[Detached Sleeves]]: In her "Maiden" outfit.
* [[Elemental Powers]]:
** [[Light'Em Up]]: Her three attack spells: Photon, Ray, and Holy Lance.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Her fascination on old ruins and civilizations? {{spoiler|One skit after the reunion scene in Exire theorizes that she was trying to find the Otherworldly Gate, and by extension, her parents.}}
Line 241 ⟶ 238:
* {{spoiler|[[Nature Adores a Virgin]]: Averted. In the quest where the heroes must choose a pure maiden to make contact with a submerged unicorn, she says she can't do it herself and either Sheena or Colette must do so. When pressed on the issue, she merely replies "I'm an adult," leading Lloyd and Genis to [[Chaste Hero|stare at each other in utter confusion with comically blank looks on their faces.]] Though it could just be because of her dislike of water, rather than the obvious implication.}}
* [[Odd Friendship]]: With Sheena. At first the two come off as [[Headbutting Heroes]], but they eventually become a lot closer and supportive, such as Sheena rushing to help save Raine and Genis in Tethe'alla, and when Raine attempts to calm Sheena down in the temple of lightning.
*
* [[Promotion to Parent]]
* [[The Smart Guy|The Smart Girl]]
* [[Stern Teacher]]: She is noted for being cool, strict, and practical, and even smacking her students around when they're being particularly stupid. Which makes it a very sweet moment when, late in the game, she admits that she's so hard on the hero in particular because she knows he's strong enough to handle it, and wants to see him grow up strong.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Tall, White-Haired, and Bishoujo]]: She's easily one of the prettiest characters in the game.
* [[Team Mom]]: not a leader in any sense, but she's the most likely to get on people's cases for messing around too much. She and Regal are also the ones who have the private conversation about how Lloyd ''must'' succeed, even if it requires some [[Heroic Sacrifice
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Water?]]: She... really doesn't do very well around water. Ironically, the sequel made this her elemental affinity.
[[File:kratos.jpg|frame]]
Line 259 ⟶ 256:
When it looks like he finally has it, of course, Kratos {{spoiler|betrays you and hands over Colette to the [[Big Bad]]. Turns out he was working for him all along and is really [[Our Angels Are Different|an angel]], none of which explains why he spends the second part of the game [[Enigmatic Minion|cryptically]] [[Stealth Mentor|helping the party out]]}}.
He's finally revealed to be {{spoiler|Lloyd's father, who Lloyd has to duel in order to release [[Sealed Good in
Tropes associated with Kratos:
* {{spoiler|[[Absurdly Youthful Mother|Absurdly Youthful Father:]] Justified by fact that he stopped aging about 4000 years ago when he was 28, but still lampshaded in one conversation.}}
* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: Plays this role against Lloyd during the Journey of Regeneration, despite not being his brother.
*
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Arm-Fold]]: Does this in cutscenes quite often.
Line 270 ⟶ 267:
* [[Biseinen]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: To Lloyd's Red Oni.
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: The ''Tales of Fandom 2'' DVD reveals that he has feelings for {{spoiler|a princess}} whom he protected before he met Lloyd. {{spoiler|Four-thousand years before.}}
* {{spoiler|[[But Now I Must Go]] / [[Put
* [[Combat Medic]]: Serves as the healer before [[White Magician Girl|Raine]] joins your party.
* [[The Comically Serious]]
Line 278 ⟶ 275:
* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]}}
* [[Does Not Like Spam|Does Not Like Tomatoes]]
* {{spoiler|[[Double Agent]]}}:
* {{spoiler|[[Duel Boss]]}}
* [[Elemental Powers]]:
** [[Blow You Away]]
** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]
** {{spoiler|[[Holy Hand Grenade]]: Judgement.}}
** [[Playing
** [[Shock and Awe]]
*** Unused battle data suggests he would have had [[Making a Splash]] and [[An Ice Person]] as well.
* [[Enigmatic Minion]]
*
* {{spoiler|[[Fallen Hero]]}}▼
* {{spoiler|[[Fake Defector]]: and quite sneaky about it too, playing both sides as part of his plan to end Mithos' plans.}}
▲* {{spoiler|[[Fallen Hero]]}}
* [[The Fatalist]]
* {{spoiler|[[Guest Star Party Member]]: Returns briefly a while after his [[Heel Face Turn]]. Notably, it's the only time he and Zelos can in the party together.}}
Line 296 ⟶ 293:
* [[Guilt Complex]]: {{spoiler|1=Parodied in [http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=kratos+fault#/d2aggrj this fan comic.]}}
* [[Hair Color Dissonance]]: His hair is often brown instead of red in fanart.
*
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Revolving Door]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Hopeless Boss Fight]] Your first fight with him is intended as this as he is a huge jump in power above any boss you fought before, but can still be beaten if you're overleveled, though it has no effect on the plot.}}
Line 303 ⟶ 300:
* {{spoiler|[[I Let You Win]]: Is supposedly holding back in the first two fight with him. Of course, you might not actually win the fairly difficult battles.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Immortality Begins At Twenty]]: Twenty-eight.}}
* [[Jerk
* [[Kick the Son of
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Is actually Yuan that reveals this, Kratos did figure it out in Iselia, but never told Lloyd because he knew wouldn't be too pleased finding his biological father was alive and was never with him most of his life, though in all fairness Kratos didn't know Lloyd was alive till he found him Iselia.}}
* [[Magic Knight]]: He's practically the patron saint of this character class in Radiant Mythology spin-offs.
Line 311 ⟶ 308:
* [[Mercy Kill]] {{spoiler|/ [[Staking the Loved One]]: Was forced to do this to his wife.}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]}}
*
* [[Narrator]]
* {{spoiler|[[Noble Top Enforcer]]: To Mithos.}}
* [[Only in It For
*
**
** {{spoiler|He actually may have cared the whole time as, when used by AI and put on free command, he is the one who spams Lloyd with First Aid more than anyone else}}
**
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
Line 327 ⟶ 323:
* {{spoiler|[[Recurring Boss]]}}
* [[Running Gag]]: Kratos is often late to important events, parodied a bit in OVA's bonuses.
* [[Shell Shocked Senior]]: Exhibits tendencies of this trope from the very beginning. As you get further out in the game, the party learns that he has a very, very long and rocky history to explain it.
* [[Something About a Rose]] / [[Bishie Sparkle]]: In the [[OVA]] bonuses, sometimes when he appears these are in the background.
* [[Stealth Mentor]]
Line 334 ⟶ 330:
** [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Unusual example in that he does not regularly wear glasses nor is there any hint of him having vision problems, but he fits this trope to a tee the few times he's shown with them.
* [[This Is Sparta]] / [[Punctuated Pounding|Punctuated Slashing]]: [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|"Feel The Pain. Of Those Inferior Beings. As You Burn In Hell]]!"
* [[Too Many Belts]]: Especially in his judgment costume. So much so it became a fandom in-joke that he has a belt fetish.
* [[Try Not to Die]]: "Don't die, Lloyd." Then, in the ending, "{{spoiler|Don't die before I do, Lloyd, my son.}}"
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: As a gameplay mechanic, every character has an ingredient they don't like. Kratos' is tomatoes. [[Fanon]] has elevated this dislike to outright phobia.
[[File:sheena.jpg|frame]]
Line 356 ⟶ 352:
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Her type of this varies, but she certainly doesn't appreciate Zelos' mentioning of them, and when Raine remarks in the hotsprings sidequest she's not as well-endowed as Sheena, she reacts with some embarrassment.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: At Kvar's ranch.
* [[Bokukko]]: In Japanese, her speech patterns are masculine. Basically, she talks like how a boy would.
* [[Canon Shadow]]: Averted. Taking the Hard Path and getting Sheena early on will result in extra scenes, dialogue and more foreshadowing.
▲* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: {{spoiler|Sheena to Lloyd, especially in her ending.}}
* [[Capulet Counterpart]]: True to form, [[Fan-Preferred Couple|she can fall in love with Lloyd]] depending on the [[Relationship Values]].
* [[Cute Clumsy Girl]]: Not as much as [[Dojikko|Colette]], though, or rather, she's not so much clumsy as it is there's a running gag of trap doors opening under her.
* [[Death Dealer]]
* [[Dual Boss]]: Fights alongside a guardian when you face her as a boss.
* [[Elemental Powers]]:
** [[Light'Em Up]]: The only one she learns naturally which ''isn't'' a summon.
* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]: Subverted; despite her tomboyish personality, she likes cooking, although she makes some odd (but not completely wrong) decisions, like adding pineapple to curry.
** She's actually the third-best cook in the group (to Genis and Regal) and the best girl at it.
*
* Foil: to Colette, in some ways. Both are idealistic women doing questionable things (to themselves or others) to save their world. They're both kind of clumsy. And, not coincidentally, they're the most popular love interests.
* [[Giant Waist Ribbon]]
Line 377 ⟶ 373:
* [[Hot Amazon]]
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: After Volt {{spoiler|kills Corrine}}.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[Ninja]]
Line 389 ⟶ 385:
* [[Betty and Veronica|Veronica]]
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: The description for Zelos' title "Idiot Chosen" says it all.
{{quote|
[[File:zelos.jpg|frame]]
''"Whatever will be will be"''
Tethe'alla's 21-year-old [[The Chosen One|Chosen One]], Zelos has all the appearance of [[Handsome Lech]], and provides much of the comic relief in the second part of the game, and is generally the party's [[Butt Monkey]]. Among the aristocracy of Tethe'alla, he's extremely popular and a regular [[Casanova]], and retains the [[Fantastic Racism|common prejudice]] against [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half Elves]]. However, he also proves his practical nature by discarding said prejudice, based upon his own experience with the party; in the moments when he is serious, he regularly shows himself to be the most cynical member of the party, and one of the most observant, especially towards Sheena, whom it's implied he may have feelings for.
{{spoiler|Later, it's revealed that Zelos'
{{spoiler|If you choose to fight him, he is slain in the battle and Kratos rejoins your party in his stead. If he doesn't die, he rejoins the party after saving each member from their [[Heroic Sacrifice]] and reveals his betrayal was [[Fake Defector|part of his plan]] to obtain the [[Phlebotinum|aionis]] Lloyd needed to wield the Eternal Sword. From that moment on, he enjoys the party's full trust. He is alive and present for the sequel, revealing that this choice was canonical.}}
Line 414 ⟶ 410:
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]
* [[The Chosen One]]: [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]].
* [[Christopher Corey Smith]]: Voiced him in [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]].
* {{spoiler|[[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]}}
* [[Church Militant]]
Line 420 ⟶ 416:
* [[Detached Sleeves]]: A rare male example.
* {{spoiler|[[Double Agent]]}}: {{spoiler|Goes [[Serial Escalation]] and becomes a ''triple'' agent for Cruxis, the Renegades and Lloyd's party, eventually settling on either the first or last depending on the player's actions.}}
* [[Elemental Powers]]: See Kratos' entry.
* {{spoiler|[[Et Tu, Brute?]]: At the final dungeon, complete with the hero's exclamations of disbelief.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Evil All Along]]}} Somewhere during the course of the journey, however, he eventually has a {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]] with his change of heart}}, so when he finally gets to [[spoiler:betraying the group, it's actually an act to ''help'' them, rather than what it would have been if he never decided to take Lloyd's side over Mithos'. It's unknown at what specific time during the journey he made his decision to stay with Lloyd, but a good guess is {{spoiler|after the scene in Flanoir. If you talk to anyone except Kratos (which makes Zelos' [[Face Heel Turn]] a fake one,) Lloyd tells Zelos that he trusts him before they leave. If you talk to Kratos (which makes his [[Face Heel Turn]] real,) Lloyd instead asks Zelos if he can really trust him.}}
* [[Foil]] / [[Shadow Archetype]]. To Lloyd. He's basically what would happen if Lloyd got really cynical.▼
* {{spoiler|[[Fake Defector]]: In the story line that doesn't kill him.}}
▲* [[Foil]] / [[Shadow Archetype]]
* [[Gay Option]]: [[Ho Yay|or at least the closest to one.]]
* [[The Glomp]]: Does this to Lloyd often.
* [[Handsome Lech]]: {{spoiler|It's all an act.}}
* [[Have I Mentioned That I Am Heterosexual Today]]: The first thing he says to Lloyd and Genis when he meets them is, "I'm not interested in talking to guys". Which makes some people think that it's a case of [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]].
* [[Hidden Depths]]
* [[I Fight for
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Towards Sheena regarding her crush on Lloyd; non-romantically, towards his sister.
* [[Jerkass]]
** [[Jerk
** [[Jerkass Facade]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: If you choose to fight him.}}
*
*
* {{spoiler|[[Lovable Traitor]]}}
* [[Magic Knight]]
* {{spoiler|[[Manipulative Bastard]]: He's ''surprisingly'' devious.}}
* [[Masaya Onosaka]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: in mythology, the individuals known as Zelos, Kratos, and Nike (the latter of whom Colette derives her name from), are siblings.
* [[Memetic Sex God]]: A canon example, judging by all the groupies that follow him around in Meltokio. Lampshaded by Regal at one point:
{{quote|
* [[Messianic Archetype]]: Subverted. As the Chosen of his land, this is what he's ''intended'' to be. He... [[Mr. Vice Guy|doesn't particularly follow it through, however]].
* [[Mr. Vice Guy]]
* [[Multiple Endings]]: When people say the game has several endings, they're not referring to the ships.
* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: Has this attitude towards Lloyd and Genis in the beginning. Lloyd earns his respect and grows out of it. Genis... not quite so much.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: According to him, Genis is "Brat", Raine is "My intellectual hunny", Colette is "Little Angel Beauty", Sheena is alternately "my voluptuous hunny" or "Violent Demonic Banshee", Presea is "Rosebud," and Lloyd is "Hey You" and later "Bud."
* [[Not in
* [[Not So Different]]: From Colette - {{spoiler|They both hide their insecurities behind their smiles, all the while insisting that nothing is wrong, which tends to result in terrible consequences later. In Zelos' case, this leads him to think that the party doesn't trust him, and depending on who Lloyd chooses, Zelos will either accept the fact that he cant be trusted or allow himself to trust his comrades.}}
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Zelos is highly intelligent, skilled at manipulation, {{spoiler|and has severe self-loathing stemming from some ''severe'' [[Parental Abandonment]], not to mention being [[Xanatos Speed Chess|a triple agent who's playing the party, Cruxis and the Renegades against each other to ensure he's got a shot of joining whoever's the victors]]}}. He hides all of this under a facade of being a happy-go-lucky [[Handsome Lech]] who seems to have made it his life's mission to hit on every female in existence and antagonize [[Tsundere|Sheena]].
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Apparently, just wearing a mask prevents the girls from recognizing him.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]
* [[The Power of Trust]]: Lloyd telling Zelos he trusts him makes the difference between {{spoiler|Zelos being a [[Fake Defector]] who helps the party escape the Tower of Salvation's death traps and obtains the final item they need for the Eternal Ring, or truly defecting in the hopes of dying and escaping his destiny.}}
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]
* [[Sad Clown]]
* [[Shiloh Strong]]: Voiced him in the first game.
* [[Something About a Rose]]: If he is in his formal wear costume there is a chance that in battle his weapon will be a bouquet of roses. ▼
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: With Sheena. Although the "kiss" part is one-sided.
▲* [[Something About a Rose]]: If he is in his formal wear costume there is a chance that in battle his weapon will be a bouquet of roses.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: As far as his fighting style goes, he is this to {{spoiler|Kratos}}.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Also with Sheena.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: The entire reason behind his actions is to compromise with it.
[[File:presea.jpg|frame]]
A 12-year-old Tethe'allan [[An Axe to Grind|lumberjack]], Presea seems entirely [[Emotionless Girl|devoid of emotions]] when the party meets her. It's quickly discovered that her emotionlessness results from the Cruxis Crystal experiments that where conducted on her; the party makes it their goal to cure her, since anyway the process can't be much different from the one employed to cure Colette.
Once she regains her personality, she tells her story to the party: {{spoiler|her mother had died when she was little, and her father, a lumberjack, had taken ill, so Presea had agreed to become an
This revelation seals Presea's decision to keep on helping the party getting the world rid of the Desians and the Cruxis, once she accepts {{spoiler|Regal is not responsible for what happened to her sister}}.
Line 483 ⟶ 479:
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Adorable]]
* [[Beware the Quiet Ones]]: When she confronts {{spoiler|Rodyle}}, her mood can basically be summed up as "[[Unstoppable Rage]]".
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Older Sister]]
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Can wield several of them, one being the [[Lethal Joke Weapon|Pow Hammer DX]].
* [[Elemental Powers]]:
** [[Blow You Away]]: Through an altered arte.
** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Her natural one.
** [[Shock and Awe]]: Through an altered arte.
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Which makes her entrance in the sequel [[Crowning Moment of Funny|even funnier]].
** {{spoiler|She gets better after her Cruxis Crystal is removed}}.

[[File:regal.jpg|frame]]
A mysterious convict who is first sent after the party but defects to join them once he catches sight of Presea, Regal is extremely discreet about his past and [[With My Hands Tied|refuses to take off his shackles]] - they are the symbol of the sin he committed and [[The Atoner|which he has to atone for]]. {{spoiler|He killed his [[Meido|lover]], Presea's sister, when she was turned into a monster by the Exphere experiments that Cruxis performed on her, and cannot forgive himself.}}
Regal is able to focus his efforts towards the fight against the Desians and the Cruxis after his centric sidequest, in which {{spoiler|Alicia, whose soul was retained in the
Tropes associated with Regal:
* [[Armed Legs]]
* [[The Atoner]]: Almost an [[Exaggerated Trope]]. {{spoiler|Once you get to the flashbacks, you find out that Alicia, in her few lucid moments post-transformation, ''begged'' him to kill her. While the obvious emotional trauma of having to kill your girlfriend should not be discounted, boyfriend-assisted suicide is a slightly different case than murder.}} Possibly deconstructed, in that {{spoiler|his personal flaw that he must come to terms with in Welgaia is being weighed down by his feelings of guilt}}.
* [[Blue Oni]]: To Lloyd's red. ▼
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Lampshaded when Lloyd and Regal state their bond is like that of siblings, with Regal in particular having come to view Lloyd as a younger brother. ▼
* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]
* [[Chained By Fashion]]▼

Line 540 ⟶ 535:
* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]] {{spoiler|Or rather, I do not specialize in foot-based martial arts.}}
* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]: Used only in a cutscene (rightfully so! It looks like it would be a real [[Game Breaker]]). The in-universe explanation is that he used to specialize in fighting with his hands, to the point where they grew so powerful that, once augmented with an Exsphere, he could unleash their physical hitting-things power as a beam, but after that, his [[Freudian Excuse]] happened and he vowed never to use his hands for violence again. He makes an exception for the one scene where he uses it because he's not hurting anybody, unless it turns out those jail cells were sentient. Gotta hand it to the guy, at least he keeps his word.
* [[Lolicon]]: Got labelled as this thanks to the game not being clear on how old he and Alicia actually ''were'' when they fell in love... and the fact that certain fans like to ship with with Presea. Not helped by the fact that {{spoiler|she is technically in her twenties}}. One can even label Regal a [[Lolicon]] if you choose the right answer when asked about his tastes in women.
** Zelos points this out in a [[OVA]] bonus, which earns Regal the group's disapproval until Lloyd defuses the situation. This one's [[Played for Laughs]], however, as that very same OVA also cleared up the confusion.
* [[
* [[Out of Focus]]: Regal is the only party member (except for Zelos) the player can go the entire game without using and who has no Unison attacks until [[Updated Rerelease|the PS2 version]], makes nothing more then a few token lines after {{spoiler|visiting the rooftop grave}}.
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: In regards to hair colors, with Presea.
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: Lampshaded and [[Played for Laughs]] with his "[[Testosterone Poisoning|Testosterone]]" title.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Can tear enemies apart using nothing but his FEET and is the team's best chef. Oh, and he wears a [[Bare Your Midriff|belly shirt]].
* [[Supreme Chef]] / [[Team Chef]]: Along with Genis.
Line 552 ⟶ 547:
* [[Unequal Pairing]]: {{spoiler|With Alicia, his servant, which may be why George had them separated}}.
* [[Use Your Head]]: In the 5th [[OVA]] bonus, Regal decides not to fight with his legs anymore, instead using his head, because he blames himself for {{spoiler|the death of Corrine.}} He promptly and randomly skull bashes Zelos.
*
* [[With My Hands Tied]]: Regal's fighting style is based around using his feet only, since {{spoiler|he killed his lover with his hands}} and therefore vowed never to kill with his hands again.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
* [[You Shall Not Pass]]: Said word for word.
A dog-like companion of Lloyd.
Tropes associated with Noishe:
* [[All Animals Are Dogs]]: Noishe acts like a ordinary dog, but he's not. Through a number of skits and one side-quest, you find out that Noishe is actually a creature known as a Protozoan, supposedly the first creature to have been born on the planet. It evolves during the course of its own life, starting off as a single-celled organism, then a fish, then a bird, then the dog-like form, then 'another' form, then finally a human that fights evil. It is also said that Noishe himself (possibly in his previous form) accompanied Mithos and Co. on their journey 4000 years ago.
* [[Expy]]: A monster wolf called Orion in [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]] greatly resembles Noishe.
* [[Heroic Dog]]: Subverted in that he's not really a dog despite acting like one, but Noishe fit this trope when he protected Lloyd when {{spoiler|his mother-turned monster attacked him.}}
*
** For those not familiar with the name, it's feline counterpart is Cait Sith, which was a puppet and party member in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.
*
Yggdrasill is the leader of Cruxis and the Desians, a self-righteous antagonist who has the world under his spell. {{spoiler|But he's also Mithos, the young half-elf the heroes "rescued" from a burning village - who becomes Genis' first half-elf friend, who worries for Raine when she looks tired, who makes jokes at Zelos' expense like everybody else... until he [[The Reveal|reveals himself to the party]] when one of his most trusted lieutenants, one of [[True Companions|his companions from 4000 years sooner]], proves himself to be a traitor.}}
Line 579 ⟶ 574:
Tropes associated with him:
* [[A God Am I]]: Subverted, as he has godlike power but never develops the full-on complex. In the end, he still views himself as {{spoiler|a half-elf}} who's just trying to make the world a better place... [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|through some extremely questionable means]].▼
* [[Big Bad]]
** {{spoiler|[[Big Bad Friend]]: Especially from Genis' point of view}}.
Line 589 ⟶ 583:
* [[Determinator]]
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: And ''how''!
* [[Evil Is Stylish]]: That's what he invokes to justify his shape shifting.
** {{spoiler|More like "Evil looks older than 12".}} No one's quite sure why evil looks like [[Disco Stu]] with [[Rapunzel Hair]].
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Has a rather unnerving one when {{spoiler|his child Mithos form is revealed as the [[Big Bad]] and starts kicking Yuan around for betraying him.}}
Line 596 ⟶ 590:
* {{spoiler|[[Foe Yay]]: With Genis.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Get It Over With]]: Asks Lloyd to destroy his Cruxis Crystal so he won't be taken over by it. He admits defeat but refuses to accept Lloyd's ideas to the end.}}
▲* [[A God Am I]]: Subverted, as he has godlike power but never develops the full-on complex. In the end, he still views himself as {{spoiler|a half-elf}} who's just trying to make the world a better place... [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|through some extremely questionable means]].
* [[Grand Theft Me]]: {{spoiler|Yggdrassil's primary goal is to use a suitable Chosen as a host body for his sister's mind.}}
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]
▲* [[Hideyuki Tanaka]]: {{spoiler|His voice as Yggdrassil}}
* {{spoiler|[[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: The first two times you meet him. The first ends after he virtually one-shots your party, the second ends after a certain amount of time}}
* [[Humans Are
* [[James Arnold Taylor]]: His English voice actor {{spoiler|in his Yggdrasill guise.}}
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Killing {{spoiler|Pronyma, while she begged him to save her after being defeated by Lloyd and Co.}}
Line 608 ⟶ 602:
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: {{spoiler|Sibling love, though, to be exact. Unless you [[Brother-Sister Incest|read too much into it]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Man Behind the Man]]}}
* [[Minami Takayama]]: {{spoiler|His normal voice}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]}}
* [[Not So Different]]: From {{spoiler|Lloyd and Genis}}
*
* {{spoiler|[[One-Winged Angel]]: An amalgamation of three mecha-like mini-bosses from Welgaia, reflecting his inability to accept others, come to terms with the past, or forgive people.}}
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]
* [[Shut Up, Kirk]]: "Do you think I'm going to beg for forgiveness? Ridiculous!"▼
* [[Shadow Archetype]]: To Lloyd. He even says as much.
{{quote|
▲* [[Shut Up, Kirk]]: "Do you think I'm going to beg for forgiveness? Ridiculous!"
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: {{spoiler|Pushes Tabatha out of the way of a landslide (as Mithos), and takes a shot of dark energy Pronyma aims at Genis (as Yggdrasill). It's never explained why he did either, although Raine calls him out on cruelly shooting Tabatha despite risking his life to save her}}.
* [[Teleport Spam]]
* {{spoiler|[[That Man Is Dead]]: Only his former comrades are allowed to call him "Mithos". Interestingly enough, this may extend to Lloyd and Co., since he wasn't seen to have any specific problem with any of them calling him by his old name.}}
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: After {{spoiler|Martel rejects his plan}}. Complete with [[Laughing Mad]].
** [[Villain Decay]]: A deliberately invoked and justified by-product of this. {{spoiler|After Martel rejects his plan, he basically decides to abandon the world and build a new life for himself and his sister on Derris-Kharlan.}}
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]
Line 628 ⟶ 622:
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Eventually comes to regard Lloyd as one. {{spoiler|The respect is mutual}}.
::'''The Five Grand Cardinals'''
The five leaders of the Desians.
Tropes associated with the Grand Cardinals:
Line 650 ⟶ 644:
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]
The leader of the Five Grand Cardinals and Yggdrassil's right hand.
Line 660 ⟶ 654:
* [[Dark Action Girl]]
* [[The Dragon]]: To Yggdrassil.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Includes [[Casting a Shadow]], [[Making a Splash]] and [[An Ice Person]].
* [[Masasa Moyo]]
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]
Line 669 ⟶ 663:
* {{spoiler|[[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Mithos no longer cares about her after she's defeated by the heroes and Martel is about to be revived. In fact, he actually kills her himself when she calls him [[That Man Is Dead|Mithos]] while begging for his help after being defeated by the party.}}.
The Grand Cardinal in charge of the Iselia Ranch
Line 686 ⟶ 680:
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: He put an end to a human-lead genocide against half-elves in his past. He [[Moral Myopia|doesn't seem to see any irony with his current situation]].
* [[Informed Attribute]]: We learn nothing of, nor get a hint to the fact that Forcystus was a hero to half-elves everywhere until ''one'' skit shortly after he dies.
* [[Killed Mid-Sentence]]: Not killed, just incapacitated by a {{spoiler|self destructing Marble}} when Lloyd says he won't give up his exsphere to the Desians that killed his mother, Forcystus actually seems surprised and says "What are you talking about, your mother was killed by..." before he's cut off.
* [[Knight Templar]]: He started out just trying to protect his fellow half-elves. Now he does so many horrible things to defend them that he could qualify for Monsterdom if he had more screen time.
▲* [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]]: By Lloyd.
▲* [[Informed Attribute]]: We learn nothing of, nor get a hint to the fact that Forcystus was a hero to half-elves everywhere until ''one'' skit shortly after he dies.
▲* [[Knight Templar]]: He started out just trying to protect his fellow half-elves. Now he does so many horrible things to defend them that he could qualify for Monsterdom if he had more screen time.
* [[Noble Demon]]: He's the only Grand Cardinal who ''doesn't'' go out of his way to provoke the village he's overlooking and honours the non-aggression treaty until he has reason to believe that Iselia has violated it. It's also discovered posthumously that he was a defender and champion of his people.
* {{spoiler|[[Taking You
* [[Too Many Belts]]: His undershirt is pretty much just a mass of belts (or belt-like straps, anyway).
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He is a hero to his people and comes off as a soldier fighting a racially-motivated war.
* [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters]]: Praised by the Desians but reviled by the humans. Lloyd wonders whether he could have gotten along with him in a world where humans and half-elves could coexist.
The leader of the Palmacosta Ranch.
Line 709 ⟶ 703:
* [[The Brute]]
* [[Chris Edgerly]]
* [[Dumb Muscle]]
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Literally and figuratively.
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: See [[Stupid Evil]] below.
* [[Slouch of Villainy]]▼
* [[Large Ham]]: His voice actor was obviously having a great deal of fun, especially with the word 'vermin'.
{{quote|
* [[Neck Lift]] and [[Neck Snap]]: Does this to a random human who doesn't use his title.
* [[Playing
* [[Shinji Kawada]]
* [[The Starscream]]: He seeks to replace Pronyma as the leader of the Grand Cardinals.
* [[Stupid Evil]]: "[[Hair-Trigger Temper|That's]] [[Disproportionate Retribution|LORD]] [[Neck Lift|Magnius]], [[Neck Snap|vermin]]!" 'nuff said. Ultimately [[Played for Drama]], however. It's ''because'' he's so [[Stupid Evil]] that Rodyle was able to manipulate him.
Line 723 ⟶ 717:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: He seeks to protect his people from discrimination by humans by [[Stupid Evil|murderalising the crap out any of them who get in his way]]. Needless to say, he probably wasn't hired for his brains.
The leader of the Asgard Ranch
Line 731 ⟶ 725:
Tropes associated with Kvar
* [[A Nazi By Any Other Name]]: Comes off as ''very'' similar to Josef Mengele.▼
* [[Body Horror]]: Not him, personally, but {{spoiler|as the brains behind the Angelus project, he ''induced this'' in Lloyd's mother.}} ▼
* [[Blonde Guys Are Evil]]
▲* [[Body Horror]]: Not him, personally, but {{spoiler|as the brains behind the Angelus project, he ''induced this'' in Lloyd's mother.}}
* [[Chris Edgerly]]
* [[Complete Monster]]: Regarded as one in-universe. In a game where many antagonists get an [[Alas, Poor Villain]] moment, or at least have their motivations explained, it says a lot about Kvar that almost everyone in the game views him as an irredeemable monster.
** [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: In fact, Kvar is so bad that even ''his own subordinates'' think he's evil. Debateable whether they actually fall under this trope, as they sound like they're ''bragging'' about having such a monster for a boss, although one quickly tells you not to let anyone know about him talking about Kvar's cruelty.
* [[The Evil Genius]]: One of two.
* [[For the Evulz]] & [[For Science!]]: Unlike the other Desians, Kvar doesn't seem to need much motivation to be a complete bastard.
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: His voice actor [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPrgsqPc_5g somehow managed to have this little gem slipped into the game's files]...
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Shock and Awe]]
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
* [[The Starscream]]:
** Like Magnius, he seeks to replace Pronyma as the leader of the Grand Cardinals.
** May also be one to Yggdrasill, since he was involved with {{spoiler|Rodyle's plan to rebuild the Mana Cannon and use it against Cruxis. It's never stated exactly how much he knew about the plan, though, but the game implies that Kvar and Rodyle were working rather closely together.}}
* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Mother]]: Lloyd's reaction to him.
The leader of the Remote Island Ranch and one of the main Desian researchers.
Line 765 ⟶ 759:
* [[Smug Snake]]: Believes himself to be the cleverest of the Desian Grand Cardinals, but ends up {{spoiler|being manipulated by the Renegades into building the Mana Cannon for them, as well as tricked by Pronyma, who gives him a Cruxis Crystal that [[Body Horror|turns him into an Exbelua when he equips it.]]}}
* [[The Starscream]]: {{spoiler|He seeks to take over Cruxis.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Taking You
The leader of the Renegades, a group of half-elves who oppose the Desians. Both cynical and ruthless, he {{spoiler|was one of Mithos' companions and is currently one of the Seraphim of Cruxis, although he is no longer loyal to Mithos.}}
Line 775 ⟶ 769:
Tropes associated with Yuan:
* [[Above Good and Evil]]: Implied. He doesn't seem to have any kind of moral compass. So long as he gets what he wants, that's all that matters.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type III.
* [[Badass]]
* [[Blade
* [[The Chessmaster]]
* [[Chris Edgerly]]
Line 790 ⟶ 784:
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: While his goals match those of the party, he still is a jerk to them even when he's not [[Heel Face Revolving Door|fighting them]], and his methods are more [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|morally ambiguous]].
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]
* [[Jerkass]] / [[Jerk
* {{spoiler|[[La Résistance]]}}: The Renegades
* [[Lost Wedding Ring|Lost Engagement Ring]]
Line 801 ⟶ 795:
* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: In the "United World" OVA extra.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
A strange girl who lives with Altessa and assists him. She speaks in a robotic voice. {{spoiler|She's a robot girl who was built to be Martel's new body rather than trying to breed a compatible Chosen One, but Martel's soul seemed to be incompatible with her. In the end, it turns out that the 'incompatibility' was just Martel's refusal to return to life, and Tabatha becomes the vessel for the spirit Martel who guards the revived Mana Tree}}.
Tropes associated with Tabatha:
Line 812 ⟶ 806:
* [[Emotionless Girl]]
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: And nonliving, as shown by her scene with Presea about the loneliness of exspheres.
* [[Kim Mai Guest]]{{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
* [[Robo Speak]]
* [[Soulless Shell]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]
