* LoveMakesYouDumb: [[spoiler:Nanna's love for Joaquin causes her to start buying expensive products like rose perfume, earrings, and even a black pearl ring in order to win more of Joaquin's admiration. She even used an excuse by quoting from Saint Androvus to justify buying so much despite previously making a different philosophical quote about being true to yourself. This made Nanna's heartbreak even worse once she found out that Joaquin had been manipulating her into buying stuff from the latter's merchant accomplice.]]


Added DiffLines:

* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:Nanna fooled Joaquin into thinking that she was the princess of the Sylphide Kingdom. Nanna later revealed that the Sylphide Kingdom is actually a fictional kingdom from a fairy tale. The irony is the fact that Joaquin had been using fairy tales like that to pretend to be a fellow romanticist, leading to Nanna telling Joaquin that he should have kept up with his fairy tale readings.]]


Added DiffLines:

* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are a couple of foreshadowing throughout Manna's story.
** [[spoiler:At Nanna's prologue, Nanna was talking about a collection called "Memories of Our Motherlands". Her favorite romance story from it is where a tribal king searching for his bride by asking a riddle to a group of candidates. Joaquin, Nanna's target of affection, just so happened to use the same riddle when talking to a group of admirers. It wasn't a coincidence. Joaquin had been reading through Jubile's "Memories of Our Motherlands" and using it to help keep up the facade of a romanticist.]]
** [[spoiler:Also in Nanna's prologue, Nanna quoted philosopher Galenos's line: "There is nothing emptier than a love forged through deceit". Nanna meant to use this line to explain how she needs to be true to herself. However, this line also foreshadowed how Nanna would find out that her love interest Joaquin is a lying scammer, which causes her to get revenge on the man.]]
** [[spoiler:In Nanna's Chapter 1, Joaquin told his admirers that he prefers women who don't depend on luxury products to make themselves better than who they are. However, in the very next chapter, Joaquin enjoyed how Nanna used expensive products like the rose perfume and the earrings. These hint on Joaquin's false person as he is actually tricking his admirers into buying expensive products from his merchant accomplice.]]

The former admirers pretended to be Nanna's handmaidens who were asking Nanna to return to her sick father, the king of the Sylphide Kingdom, in front of Joaquin in order to trick the scammer into thinking Nanna is actually royalty. Nanna would then proclaim that she refused to return to a GildedCage life and wanted to be with her love Joaquin. She would then fake her death with poison after saying that she would rather die than go back. Once Joaquin is guilt-stricken over Nanna's death, Nanna revealed herself to be alive before revealing that she knew about Joaquin's true nature and that his admirers knew too.

** Raudi is rather popular with the girls in Emberglow as she is known as a charming and chivalrous knight, though the girls didn't know that Raudi is actually a girl rather than a boy.

However, Nanna's story breaks off from the formula because Nanna's target of affection is later revealed to be a scammer manipulating Nanna, causing the maiden to get payback for the man's deceit.]]

An infamous thief operating in Sunshade, Viola is a ThrillSeeker wrapped in enigma. Her watchword is "Everything you took, I'll take back--with interest". It turns out that she used to be the leader and founder of the Serpentes, a noble thieves group that would steal from corrupted and powerful nobles or merchants. They were even seen as the successors to the fallen White Wolves of Emberglow. However, Viola was betrayed by her group and left for dead, leaving the group to freely steal from the weak and vulnerable just because it was easier. Now, Viola aims to get revenge on her former comrades and their new leader.



'''Tropes associated with her:'''



* {{Revenge}}: Viola's main goal is getting revenge on Strahd and the Serpentes for betraying her and almost killing her. However, she wasn't going to be satisfied with just killing Strahd. She wanted to first destroy the Serpentes and expose Strahd's true nature out to the public before she finished the traitor off.



* WontGetFooledAgain: After Viola was backstabbed and almost killed by the group she created, she learned to never trust any of the Serpentes or show them mercy. This proved to be the right thing, as one of the Serpentes tried to stab her on the back after trying to plead for mercy.
'''Tropes associated with her story:'''
* AintTooProudToBeg: The Serpentes have no issue begging for their lives when Viola has them cornered, whether it is a trap or not. Viola was even able to force one of Strahd's close minions into helping her expose Strahd's crimes to the nobles at the party, or else she would kill him. Unfortunately for the minion, Strahd ended up killing him for that betrayal (and Viola's lack of a reaction implied she knew that would happen).
* ArcVillain: Strahd and the Serpentes act as this for Viola's story. They betrayed and tried to kill Viola so that the group could focus on stealing on easier targets like the lesser merchants or lower classes. The whole story is about Viola getting revenge on the people backstabbed her and who left her for dead.
* FatalFlaw: Viola pointed out that Strahd had a terrible temper and a hot-headed nature. She used this against him by enraging the man into publicly killing one of his minions for exposing his secret basement containing all the stolen merchantry goods.
* MeaningfulName: The Serpentes is another word for snake. It is fitting for a name of a group of thieves, especially ones who are malicious and dangerous enough to betray their own leader and leave her for dead.

She is prone to being deceived because of her kind-hearted nature and desire for a world where because don't need to lie so that people can trust each other. Her favorite story is called "Wish Upon the Shooting Star", which tells about the legend of a shooting star that grants wishes to only those who believe on its existence (thus, it is unseen by adults who don't believe in it). It comes every ten years, and Molrusso aims to make a wish for a world without lies on it.

Nicola was a former thief who now researches the legend of Red Hat, a famous mythological person who gives gifts to good boys and girls. Her interest on Red Hat led her to dress up like the legend and even spread joy like him. Her latest research took her to Emberglow, she found a pair of orphans named Marous and Chica who are being taken by a mean nobleman named Ruprecht to be sold due to the orphans' debts.



'''Tropes associated with her:'''



* DarkAndTroubledPast: According to Nicola, she used to be a thief who hated people who she saw to have better lives than her, which led her bitterness to the world around her. She claimed to have committed some serious crimes that were more than mere thievery. She was only saved from this life by one of the people whom she saw as more fortunate than her.
* HeelFaceTurn: Nicola used to be a thief with a more bitter view in life and committed some terrible things. It was thanks to someone saving her from her painful life that she got to be the nice person she is today.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Ruprecht ended up helping Nicola mass produce the medicine for the sick children after Nicola helped him learn the truth about his wife's disappearance.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Subverted for Marous. The very first scene we see him is when he tried to attack Ruprecht with a knife in order to get his sister back. And Marous showed confusion over why Nicola tries to help random strangers, hatred towards the upper classes, and cynical views over the poor state of lower classes like himself.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Her official art shows her walking around and talking to a young boy dressed in blue. It foreshadows how the whole story involves her convincing Marous about helping other people.
* HeroicSacrifice: Ruprecht's wife had left to find the "unmelting ice" from the Red Hat's legend in order to create a cure for the illness running rampant ten years ago. While she unfortunately died in the grotto, the notes she left behind helped Nicola find the "unmelting ice" to save Chica and the other children when the illness returned.
* HistoryRepeats:
** There was illness that ran rampant in Emberglow. It led to many people leaving the city to save themselves, and Ruprecht's wife disappeared during the event. This same illness would return during Nicola's story and sent several children on their deathbeds. But Nicola is determined to prevent the tragedy from repeating.
** Nicola claims that, wherever she goes to research Red Hat, she ended up running into and resolving major issues in the area. This always leads her expanding and strengthening the legend of Red Hat as her actions keep the legend alive. It also created more people who would take the mantle of Red Hat and continue the cycle.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ruprecht became a bitter person after the disappearance of his wife. He is willing to sell off Marous and Chica because the kids were in debt and their parents were dead. When Nicola reported to him that his wife had actually died trying to find a cure for the illness ten years ago, he acted indifferent and said that it made no difference because too much time had past. But he ended up helping Nicola later on when he used his connections and his late wife's medical equipment to mass produce the medicine needed to save the sick children.
* PosthumousCharacter: It turns out that Ruprecht's wife was already dead by the time of Nicola's story, as Nicola's group found the woman's skeleton in the Snowshard Grotto.
* RedIsHeroic: At the end of the story, Hilda (a nice noble who had been helping out Nicola) dressed up in all red to live just like Red Hat and Nicola.
* SantaClaus: The Red Hat is the Santa Claus of this world.
* SayMyName: As Nicola is leaving, Marous shouts her goodbye while calling her Red Hat.
* ToDumbToLive: Despite Nicola ordering Marous to stay in town to look after the latter's sister, Marous secretly followed Nicola and the Chosen One into the grotto. He ended up being attacked by a monster, getting badly injured. Though, it later turned out that Marous encountered this monster because he saw that the monster had the medicine's key ingredient growing on its back.

* WouldHurtAChild: The deer monster containing the "unmelting ice" mushrooms on its back had attacked Marous. It's not surprising since it's... well... a monster.
