* IronicName: "Nick" is British slang for "steal" and he was kicked by his previous party for (being accused of) embezzling funds. And despite his adventuring role as the "thief", he doesn't do much thieving in general.

Spelling/grammar fix(es) its Karan, not Karen


* TheUnapologetic: {{Downplayed}}. It's less that she refuses to apologize, but more that her noble background and status as TheAce of her old school has made it so she's never really had to. Her lack of skills in this department is shown when she nearly hits Karen by accident with an ice spell, with her apology coming out as very half-hearted and [[NeverMyFault attempting to put some of the blame on Karen for not being careful]], which only served to worsen matters between them until Nick manages to encourage everyone to reveal their strengths and weaknesses.

* BrightIsNotGood: He looks like the typical, noble knight who you could see as being TheHero in most other settings, which is exactly what Karen thought and prompted her to party with him since it was her race's duty to serve the hero. Unfortunately, he was actually a ConArtist who strung her along so he and his group can take out monsters they couldn't handle themselves, before leaving her for dead and robbing her.
* BaitTheDog: Every nice thing he did for Karen, including preventing her from getting conned and netting her a free pendant she liked out of it, was for the purpose of making her willing to trust him so he and his party can backstab her when it was most convenient.

* OutOfFocus: While Claudine and Leon serve as {{Evil Counterpart}}s to the members of the Survivors in addition to having {{Freudian Excuse}}s to explain how they ended up so rotten, Beg ends up as little more than a PlotDevice to help the Steel Tigers cheat at Bare Knuckles Arithmetic.

to:

* CastingGag: This is not the first time Creator/BrittneyKarbowski has voiced a dragon-themed character, those being [[VideoGame/SenranKagura Katsuragi]], and [[Manga/FairyTail Wendy Marvell]] respectively. Unlike them, Karan is a DraconicHumanoid who has the natural features and powers of a dragon, minus flight.

* {{Foil}}: To Donny, Agate's boyfriend: both have adopted gambling as a coping mechanism for their isssues, but where Tianna learns to pull back whenever she starts losing and avoided debt Donny instead became obsessed and TrappedByGamblingDebts that cost him his relationship with Agate. Tellingly, when they meet at a poker table Tianna quickly identifies him as an easy mark and joins forces with the dealer and the other player to fleece him and give a lesson to his benefactor (Agate, that for once was with him at the casino).

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalWimp: In the manga, the Sword of Evolution slaps him with an AdaptiveAbility that just keeps making him stronger and renders him immune to every magic attack he gets hit with after the first time. In the anime, the fusion of Nick and Tiana just keeps hitting him with ice magic over and over again, and the attacks all work, and in the end, [[spoiler: he's taken down when the anti-magic paint on some playing cards is used to sever his connection with the evil sword.]]
* AndIMustScream: In the anime, he's conscious and well-aware of what he's doing, horrified, but his body isn't listening to him, rampaging out of control and attacking everything in sight.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the anime, he comes back and rescues Belle after the fusion of Nick and Tania gives him an opening. In the manga, he flees the casino and never looks back.

Added DiffLines:

* AllTakeAndNoGive: He takes all of Belle's affection and money and gives nothing back in return but angry shouts and abuse.
* BastardBoyfriend: Not at first, but once Leon cons him into gambling debts, he spends all his income, and most of Belle's at the gambling den, trying over and over again for that "big score" that he's never going to get, and when Leon has used the Sword of Evolution and gone AxeCrazy, shoves Belle into danger to try and save his own skin.
* TheGamblingAddict: Thanks to Leon, he became addicted to gambling, but unlike Tiana, never knows when to stop.
* TrappedByGamblingDebts: He never knows when to quit, so he winds up borrowing more money than he can pay back, and when Belle bails him out, just goes right back to gambling.
* UngratefulBastard: He never, ever thanks Belle for bailing him out. He just takes the money she gives him as if it's his birthright and goes right back into debt at the gambling den, and to top it off, throws Belle into danger to save himself when Leon raids the gambling den looking for Tiana and Nick.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: In a group brought together by misanthropy, Karen is the most cheerful, friendly, and open to the idea of gaining trust for her new party, and she frequently gets into drinking parties with those outside of the group. However, she's also a member of the Draconic race who's stronger than your average adventurer, with a plethora of [[PlayingWithFire fire-based attacks]] to her name. Plus, she is still affected by her betrayal by her old party and doesn't respond kindly to potential backstabbing by her new one, even [[ShameIfSomethingHappened threatening to make a "mistake" that could get Tiana hurt]] after the latter almost hits her with an ice spell by accident and gives a rather stilted apology.

* BookDumb: Deconstructed. Since her race favors brute strength and scoffs at scholarly pursuits, she wasn't even taught ''basic math'', so she got exploited by her first human friend. She bonds to Nick who teaches her how to read, write and do math so that she can think for herself and NeverBeHurtAgain.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalSympathy: In the manga, she was thrown out by her father in a drunken rage and left on the streets with no choice but to steal in order to survive. In the anime, she was instead an embezzler who got caught and was about to be sold into indentured servitude/slavery to repay her debts but fled, changed her identity, and took to scamming men for money by choice. Then blames Nick, her victim, for all of that coming to an end.


Added DiffLines:

* BlamingTheVictim: In the anime, she blames Nick, her long-time victim, for her cons unravelling, refusing to admit that word of her own actions got around and she was living on borrowed time.


Added DiffLines:

* PsychologicalProjection: In the anime, when he offers to sell Claudia to Nick, he makes it a point to accuse Nick of only stringing along and exploiting the rest of the party "The Survivors." He winds up eating a powerful upper-cut and being called "kitten" as a result.


Added DiffLines:

* CheatersNeverProsper: The guild catches him red-handed feeding Claudine answers during the Bare Knuckles Arithmetic duel, causing the party's forfeit, and Nick retaliating with enough "penalty" hits to KO Leon.


Added DiffLines:

* StrawHypocrite: When Leon first targeted Nick, Beg attacked Nick from behind with magic and cries out "it's your fault for eating a sneak-attack." When Karan grabs him from behind in retaliation, he complains about being ambushed.


Added DiffLines:

* LeftForDead: When an AxeCrazy Leon bursts into the gambling den and starts rampaging, her date Donny, who was there to gamble, shoved her into harm's way and fled. She was rescued by Nick and Tania, who then used the Sword of Bonds to fight with Leon.

* Claudine to Tianna. They were both cast out of their families through no fault of their own and left to their own devices with nothing, but while Tianna pulled herself together and became a decent adventurer, Claudine turned to fraud, theft, and scamming innocent men whose only "crime" was being sympathetic to her sob-stories and caring for her.
