* {{Nepotism}}: How she became StudentCouncilPresident in the first place before she even started formally attending Xyrus Academy, though it is never called out at all. Her grandfather Virion was old friends with Director Goodsky, who took her in as her apprentice and had her on-campus for over a year before she started attending and thus appointed her the position. However, unlike most examples of this trope, Tessia has the aptitude, intelligence, and talent necessary for her to fulfill said role.

* AlikeAndAntitheticalAdversaries: PlayedWith. Both the Lances and Scythes are representatives of the different polities of their respective continents (the kingdoms and Dominions respectively), but the Lances are of different races (humans, elves, and dwarves) in contrast to the Scythes who are ostensibly all human (albeit with the blood of the Vritra rendering them all SemiDivine). Aesthetically this is reversed, as the Lances all wear white, gold, and red ceremonial uniforms while the Scythes in their promotional image have no shared uniform of the sort.

* BigDamnReunion:
** After running away from home and getting kidnapped by slave traders, Tessia gets rescued by Arthur who proceeds to escort her back home. When they arrive, her parents and grandfather are there to meet her where they have a tearful reunion.
** On Arthur's first day at Xyrus Academy, Tessia attempts to {{Invoke|dTrope}} this trope as she fantasizes how their reunion will turn out given how it has been years since she last saw him. However, it ends up being {{Subverted}} as she encounters him attempting to break up a fight. Given her position as StudentCouncilPresident, she is forced to act sternly towards him. Not helping matters is that Lilia says she has been living with Arthur for years now and Clive attempts to countermand Arthur for his attitude which sees him being flung into the air. In the aftermath, Tessia is seen holed up in her room out of frustration. That night, she gets a more tender and intimate reunion with him as they reconcile over the earlier incident.
** After being allowed to participate in the war, Tessia is assigned to a dungeon infested with Alacryan mana beasts. However, when she and the Dicathian forces arrive at the entrance they find only the corpses of mana beasts. When Tessia opens the door, she finds Arthur sitting AtopAMountainOfCorpses, having dealt with the mana beasts in the dungeon for them before she gets glomped by Sylvie. After returning to base and Arthur's debriefing, the two of them are left alone where they proceed to have yet another personal reunion.

* WellTrainedButInexperienced: Despite having trained her entire life and being one of the most powerful mages in Dicathen, Tessia lacks proper combat experience, which is not helped by the fact she was barred from joining the war effort for a long time out of fear over her death potentially impacting Arthur's performance in the war. This becomes especially apparent when she takes on a commanding role, as [[spoiler:she completely mishandles her troops in the Battle of Elshire Forest. This results in her forces being routed, her teammate Caria losing her legs and being crippled for life, and Aya relieving her of her command entirely and forcing her to return to the Council Castle now that she has proven herself incapable of following orders]].

Naturally, given the recent discovery of Alacrya, all signs point to it originating from the other continent.

Even though he has read up much on military history and tactics as part of his upbringing, the books he has read are mostly out of date and have only second-hand accounts.

Blaine and Priscilla may be good-hearted people, but their own insecurities lead them to being briefly cowed by Agrona and the Greysunders into handing over Arthur and Sylvie.

Reynolds is naturally outraged that he is being let off that easily, but Arthur tells his father to let it go. Four volumes (or roughly a decade InUniverse) later, and Sebastian finally meets his end when Olfred encases him in magma.

However, while he is a far more formidable combatant when compared to most of the Council, his advanced age and position as the overall leader of the Tri-Union Alliance means he mostly serves as a SupportingLeader as his death would be a major blow.

to:

* FreudianExcuse: {{Downplayed}}. Blaine's upbringing was defined by his inability to become a powerful mage and living in the shadow of his tyrannical father. These factors - in particular the former - left him with quite the InferioritySuperiorityComplex as he is oftentimes unwilling to stand up for himself. This self-insecurity not only makes him rather jealous of Arthur and his power, but allows him to be manipulated by the likes of Sebastian and later Agrona into menacing Arthur. However, in spite of his faults Blaine is still a good-hearted individual who wants what is best for his people.
