* MotiveDecay: They used to care for their people, but after losing so much to the Lords, they became concerned with only their own happiness. The spell they cast on their kingdom was more for their personal benefit and leisure [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist than for their citizens' own good]].

trope disambig


* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler: In ''Fleeting'', he isn't ''nearly'' as friendly as he used to be. Understandable when his kind of adoptive children were both murdered right in front of him.]]

* BoyfriendBlockingDad: To Astra (as her ParentalSubstitute). Among other incidents, when he and Astra first join the party, he threatens to cut Snowe down if Astra is hurt in his company; and when Snowe says he likes Astra, Erio responds by saying that Hiante will throw Snowe off the nearest cliff as soon as he finds out, and the thought is plausible enough to have Snowe terrified.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: InUniverse. In the game some of the townspeople comment on his odd appearance when he, Astra and Hiante wander around the town, and in the good ending sequel, his looks have been changing so he can pass as a human much easier but it's still a bit "off" so he gets a lot of odd looks in his direction.



* UncannyValley: InUniverse example; Astra at one point declares she'll stay at the town's inn instead of in the castle because the Magic Helpers creep her out a little, and in the short stories Snowe also finds them a bit unsettling.
