History Characters / ChildOfLight

* EvilCounterpart: To Óengus. They are both warriors who formed false alliances with the opposite side during the Lemuria conflict. However, Óengus joined Umbra and her daughters [[TakeMeInstead out of desperation to save the lives of his clan]] after [[DespairEventHorizon falling into despair]] from he and his clan being overpowered by Umbra and her daughters in battle and doomed for death, was decidedly unhappy about betraying them, and [[TheAtoner accepted Aurora's offer to fight alongside her for a chance to regain his lost honour]]; Nox [[BitchInSheepsClothing pretended to care for Aurora to gain her trust so she could manipulate her]], had coldly planned her [[FalseFriend false bond]] with Aurora and subsequent betrayal [[EvilAllAlong from the start]], and [[LackOfEmpathy feels no remorse]] for what she's done and even takes [[{{Sadist}} sadistic]] pleasure in it. In the end, Óengus is forgiven by his brother the Kategida Captain; Nox is [[KilledOffForReal killed]] in battle by Aurora and her friends.

-->'''Aurora:''' Norah, what are you doing!? [[IronicEcho Family first, now and forever!?]]

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Downplayed as she isn't a child, but Nox is still explicitly described as the younger of her mother's two daughters and seems to be in her early- to mid-teens, only a few years older than Aurora. While her sense of superiority can be passed off as a somewhat normal phase for someone her age[[note]]And let's face it -- if someone is a royal with supernatural powers, why wouldn't they have one?[[/note]], taking pleasure in engaging in psychological abuse, attempted murder, torture and implied genocide are giveaways that there is something ''very'' wrong with her.

A woman who tried to conquer Lemuria long before Aurora's birth, but was defeated and banished by the Queen of Light. Her daughter and granddaughters try to conquer Lemuria in her stead

* UncertainDoom: It is implied that she is deceased by the story's present events, but not confirmed.

[[folder: The Ancient Explorers]]

* TheHero: She is the titular Child of Light, after all.

* {{Nice G|uy}}irl: She's generally a very kind person, unless you're Umbra or her minions.

* ConstantlyCurious: As he's a newborn elemental, Igniculus constantly asks Aurora questions; like "What is a father?" or "What is love?"

* ElementalEmbodiment: He's actually a summoned elemental.

* IChooseToStay: When offered the opportunity to escape Lemuria with the other elementals, Igniculus considers it, but ultimately chooses to stay by Aurora's side and save Lemuria from Umbra.

* TheWatson: As a newborn elemental, he is constantly asking questions about the world, even more so than Aurora.

* {{Expy}}: Of Airy from ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault''. She's a white-haired girl who serves as a guide to our heroine [[spoiler:and is [[ManipulativeBitch manipulating]] her for the sake of enforcing a greater evil's will]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Her dying in bed justifies her not having any shoes, but she never shows any inclination to getting a pair for herself even when she's not flying.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Seems to be a species trait as none of the other Capili wear them.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Aurora has the excuse of dying in bed, but Norah is in Lemuria without any shoes either. Not that it bothers either of them.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Just like Aurora and any other princess.

* SmugSmiler: She does this often.

* [[ChekhovsGunman Chekhov's Gungirl]]: She's briefly and anonymously mentioned near the end of Chapter 2, but Aurora doesn't meet (the real) her until the end of Chapter 7. Until then, the source of the Lemurians' plight is focused solely on Umbra.

[[folder:Queen Umbra '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]

Aurora's WickedStepmother. The [[BigBad main antagonist]], she tries to conquer Lemuria in {{revenge}} for her mother's exile, and causes many curses to both lands. Mother of two daughters, Nox and Crepusculum.

[[folder:The Moon Thief '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]

The older of Aurora's two stepsisters, loyal to her mother Umbra and younger sister Nox. She is responsible for stealing the Lemurian Moon from the sky.

[[folder:The Sun Thief '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]

The younger of Aurora's two stepsisters, who deceived her since the very beginning as Norah. Though she claims that the MagicMirror in the sky will take them home, it actually leads to the Forgotten Tower. The [[TheDragon secondary antagonist]], she is a cunning and manipulative girl. Loyal to her mother Umbra and older sister Crepusculum. She is responsible for stealing the Lemurian Sun from the sky.

* WalkingSpoiler: Merely seeing an image of her will spoil TheReveal that she and Norah are one and the same.

* EarlyBirdCameo: She, or a being like her, can be seen walking across the background while Aurora traverses the Mathildis Forest.

* OnlyOneName: They all have this, but Mathildis and Rambert aren't even distinguished by epithets.
* OutOfFocus: While they are all more setdressing than characters, Rambert and Mathildis are given the least focus, while [[spoiler:Cynbel and Erin are distant ancestors of the villain and hero respectively]].

[[folder:Lady of the Forest '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]

[[folder:Crepusculum '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]

[[folder:Nox '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']]

* [[ChekhovsGunman Chekhov's Gungirl]]: She's briefly and anonymously mentioned near the end of Chapter 2, but Aurora doesn't meet the real her until the end of Chapter 7. Until then, the source of the Lemurians' plight is focused solely on Umbra.

* GenreBlindness: Somehow thought it was a good idea to [[spoiler:re-marry and bring a stepmother and her two daughters into his young biological daughter's life]]... in a FairyTale setting. [[spoiler:[[WickedStepmother What could possibly go wrong?]]]]

** [[spoiler:By the time of the ''Reginald the Great'' (set a few years after the game) she appears to have reverted to her child form. She also appears to lack her fairy wings so maybe she reverted after returning the stars, moon and sun.]]
