* ByronicHero: She's moody, withdrawn, and is very, very difficult to approach and sympathize with, but those rare few who can tend to get doted on and treasured. She also has an internal "hard cap" to the level of atrocity and suffering she can inflict. In fact, her internal monologues frequently point out that she doesn't enjoy the atrocities she commits, despite her public declarations otherwise. In fact, she's only lashing out and doing heinous things because ''she'' is scared, and if she could be assured that those loathsome individuals who wronged her would be properly dealth with, she'd happily leave the world alone. Because she's under near-constant threat instead, she's driven to give those gruesome villains and their supporters graphic treatment that makes them ''beg'' for death.

* {{Ubermensch}}: She cares not a whit, or precious little, about the local laws and customs, because they suck.

* DemonKingNobunaga: Because she's an undead, rising again with a RoaringRampageOfRevenge after her and her mother's unjust execution, is labeled an abomination by the Creator God, and because of her own atrocities, she is hated and feared, with even those sympathetic to her looking to utterly destroy her on sight, the moment they're able, Catherine being the only on-screen exception. The fact that she has the moral high-ground, legitimacy, and her enemies are far, far worse in ''their'' attrocities rarely makes a dent in public perception.

** In her lich form, she's a GlassCannon with even greater magical power but incapable of taking a hit.
** In her undead wyvern form, she's a mighty LightningBruiser, fast, strong, does plenty of damage, but in exchange for being a MagicallyIneptFighter.
** Her vampire form is a JackOfAllTrades with VoluntaryShapeshifting, HypnoticEyes, and the ability to become intangible by becoming a fog, but all her stats are considerably lower.

* MoralityChain: ForegoneConclusion. It is stated early in the story that she will eventually manage to forge a friendship with René and will receive a historical title making it clear that she's responsible for guiding the Rose Princess to being a good and wise queen instead of a rampaging vengeance machine, but that hasn't happened yet, even by the end of Volume 2.

It's supremely effective, allowing her to buy enough time for the remaining refugees to open a secret passage and allow escape.

The fact that the red-haired bastard invited criminal elements into his territory and secretly backs them makes him determined to oust the guy if he ever gets the chance.

* FatBastard: Slightly obese and a man who spoiled his son Hermenio rotten, to the point he arrogantly picks fights and gets into frequent trouble because his dad would always bail him out.
* PercussiveTherapy: When he sees that Hermenio is dead for good, he slams his fist on the table of his very large and luxurious cathedral.
* RevengeMyopia: Even though he knows his son Hermenio is the aggressor and attacked René twice, he screams for bloody vengeance, swearing before the god of creation that he would reduce her to ashes and scatter them to the wind the moment he realizes Hermenio is dead for keeps.

The researcher responsible for Morgana's "conversion."
----
* CorruptChurch: He got into this "research" program as a deacon, but according to the knowledge Morgana gained after the <Sacred Baptism> tattoo was placed on her chest, he embezzled research funds to go frequent prostitutes, something against his church's teachings.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After he finished subjecting Morgana to the <Sacred Baptism> ritual, he started celebrating the fact that she managed to survive it. As he was doing so, she grabbed him, strapped him down to his own examination table and put him through the experience too, but he didn't survive it.
* ForScience: The test subjects' rights, complaints, and well-being don't matter, only his own scientific results do.
* MadScientist: Completely without scruples or ethics.
* PlayingWithSyringes: Despite Morgana's loud protests that she didn't want any part of his experiment, he shouted her down, stating that his experimental ritual was the only way she could be "useful to god." When she comes out of the experiment, she throws this right back at him and puts him through the same experience.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: By putting Morgana through the ritual, he turned her into a zealot obsessed with "god's will" as she sees it through the corrutped lens of her tattoo. This results in the deaths of many high-ranking but corrupt people in the Theocracy.
* VillainsWantMercy: When it's his turn on the examination table, he starts pleading for his life and freedom. Morgana turns his own "this is the only way you can be useful to god" ranting back on him and carries the ritual out. Unlike Morgana, he doesn't survive.
