Tales of Symphonia/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[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]]

* [[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 exsphere and remarks that it's "kind of gross-looking".

* [[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!

* [[Purity Sue]]: A very deliberate in-universe deconstruction. Colette is just about the sweetest and most selfless human being imaginable, not to mention she is [[The Messiah]] [[Messianic Archetype|in every sense of the word]]. Unfortunately, {{spoiler|Mithos doesn't care about any of that and selectively bred her so that he could have a new [[Soul Jar]] for his sister.}}

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[Rings of Death]]

* [[Sidetracked By the Analogy]]: Probably the champion within the game. Often, her confusion will promptly confuse either Lloyd (in ToS) or Emil (in DotNW) as well, who don't suffer from it quite as much in skits without her.

[[File:genis.jpg|frame]]

 

 

{{spoiler|Of the party, Genis is the one who struggles the most with racism. Rejected and reviled by both humans and elves, he sympathizes the most with the [[Big Bad]]'s goal. However, he never crosses the line, and chooses to trust Lloyd with building a world where everyone will be treated equally.}}

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* [[Black Mage]]

* [[Captain Obvious]]: Does this a little ''too'' often, for being such an intelligent character...

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[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.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Half-Human Hybrid]]}}

** She has a fanclub in Asgard too.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: [[Cordon Bleugh Chef|Because she always experiments by adding bizarre ingredients]]; [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in-game when she earns the "Passable Chef?" title for maxing out her cooking skill. Part of her problem is that she tries to invent new ways to cook or different dishes, such as chocolate-covered lemons.

* {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]}}

* [[Badass]]

** [[Badass Baritone]]

* [[Biseinen]]

* [[Action Girl]]: Starts out as a [[Dark Action Girl]], but then the party learns of her motives and she [[Heel Face Turn|loses the "Dark" part]].

* [[Badass]]: Oh, come on. You know she's a badass.

* [[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.}}

* [[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]]

* [[Happily Adopted]]: By the chief of Mizuho.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]

* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]

* [[Hot Amazon]]

* [[Heartbroken Badass]]

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: The huge guy of his association with Presea.

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[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}}
