History Characters / TheOrderOfTheStickAzureCity

* AloofArcher: He's a calm professional, and mostly unfazed man whose preferred weapon is a a bow.

* ArcherArchetype: He's a calm professional, and mostly unfazed man whose preferred weapon is a a bow.

-->'''Hinjo''': Let's just say there's a reason Miko gets picked for long missions. In foreign countries. Which keep her away from home for months at a time.

-->'''O-Chul''': I think you're wrong. I think your feelings about the hobgoblins are ''exactly'' what's driving this mission. To the point where you would rather kill them than examine your own motivations.

* NeutralityBacklash: For much of her arc she's torn between her loyalty to Kubota and her love for Elan, and the in the end she suggests the two parties (Kubota and his ninjas versus Hinjo and his friends) leave each other alone as a compromise. [[spoiler:And then Kubota kills her for her disloyalty.]]

* {{Flanderization}}: Her jumping to conclusions. While her initial fight with the Order is arguably an example of this, and there are a couple of early gags of her ComicallyMissingThePoint, it wasn't presented as an especially dominant trait during her initial extended period in the comic (strip #s 199-298), never cited as one of the reasons why the Order hated her so much during this period. Neither the phrase "jumping to conclusions" nor anything like it is ever even mentioned in connection to her during this period. When she returns to the comic ([[OutOfFocus after an absence of 80 strips]]), she's jumping to wrong conclusions all the time, always in ways that [[PlayedForDrama seriously]], [[NiceJobBreakingItHero disastrously affects the plot.]] From then on, [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom it's the only way she affects the plot.]] This now dominant trait of hers is {{Lampshaded}} by Roy by implying [[RetCon that this has always been so typical of her.]]

* IronicDeath: [[spoiler:She bisected Lord Shojo and later dies of the same cause. And she did it trying to earn the favor of her gods and strike a blow against evil, when in one fell swoop she took the forces of good from the closest they've ever come to destroying the main antagonists of the comic for keeps to putting the bad guys in charge of her city. Additionally, the thing that set her on her path was investigating the Order under accusations that they had destroyed a Gate--the very thing she would ultimately do herself, to more lethal results]].

* ThePaladin: Like Miko and O-chul she is a holy warrior for the Twelve Gods.

* IronicDeath: [[spoiler:She bisected Lord Shojo and later dies of the same cause.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: She does ''try'' to become a paladin again after falling, but her incomplete realization of what it would mean to do so means that she gets nowhere with it, only continuing her current trajectory rather than trying to course-correct and reconsider herself. [[spoiler:When she hears Soon's deathbed lecture, she does accept his reasoning without protest, but by that point, she's bleeding out and can only manage a few IronicLastWords. Soon muses that she might have managed it if she'd had more time, but he doesn't know for sure. Rich himself claims that he thinks Miko's tragedy isn't that she was BeyondRedemption, but that her poor luck, recklessness, and lack of a support structure led to her throwing away her life before she could get a proper chance at it. It's worth noting that Vaarsuvius committed a ''far'' worse act than she did, and similarly turned down a chance to make amends for it after receiving a very immediate and obvious rebuke, and yet still managed to start turning things around when given time and a MoralityPet]].
