History Characters / TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsAlzer

* TheDogBitesBack: After Serge beats him up, [[spoiler: Emile helps Leon by telling him where Serge and Louise are instead of stopping him from rescuing Louise.]]

* SoapOperaDisease: The illness he died from was never explained, but his sacred crest normally would have prevented such a thing.

* GoldDigger: Perhaps downplayed, Lelia has shown a consistent pattern of choosing partners based on their usefulness and wealth, rather than an actual interest. What makes this apparent, is her past life before reincarnating, where she saw herself as competing with her sister, to get a more successful partner. Her [[spoiler: interest in Serge]], may indicate a moving on from this mindset.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler: Her playing through the second game and seeing the true end has basically given her ConfirmationBias towards Loic. She's convinced that everything will work out as long as Noelle ends up with Loic and ignores or only reluctantly acknowledges all of Loic's [[StalkerWithACrush flaws]] while only needing a few [[BlatantLies paper thin excuses]] to jump back to her previous mentality with barely any hesitation.]] %%She also antagonizes the Raults, always seeing them as the villains, and obtaining Ideal due to not trusting Leon

* AdoptionAngst: Quite a lot of it. Was adopted from a branch House to serve as Albergue's heir, but never quite fit in, clashing with his new sister especially, and disappointing his father by aiming to be an adventurer.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: His treatment of Lelia shows his softer side.
* MatchmakerCrush: [[spoiler: His feelings for Lelia started when she tried to pair him with Noelle, in order to progress the Otome Game plot. She originally didn't reciprocate his feelings, but he grew on her.]]

--> ''“Come to me when you get tired of that pitiful fellow, Lelia. I will always welcome you. You'd rather have someone trustworthy like me, right? I will invite you again next time. We’ll have fun.”''

* DomesticAbuse: [[spoiler: Blackmails Noelle into a relationship after finding out she's the priestess, has no reservations with beating her if she shows any defiance and [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou blames it on her making him violent]]. Marie, who experienced DomesticAbuse herself and died because of it, immediately realizes that Noelle was [[ClothingConcealedInjury hiding bruises under her clothes]] at their engagement party. And's that's to say nothing of him attaching a [[SlaveCollar magical collar]] to her so she can't escape him. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even his own father was appalled at that one]]]].

* FlawExploitation: [[spoiler:Her FatalFlaw gets exploited by way of DeadPersonImpersonation of her dead brother, both by an ancient New Human LivingWeapon intent on using her as a LivingBattery, and by Leon Four Bartfort trying to keep her from unwittingly [[HumanSacrifice sacrificing herself]] to the former.]]

-->'''Julius''': ''"Is this what they call a siscon?"''
* LivingBattery: [[spoiler: Making her into essentially a charger-cable to regenerate from the [[WorldTree Sacred Tree]], was the goal of the ancient LivingWeapon suit that [[DeadPersonImpersonation tricked her]] into [[HumanSacrifice sacrificing]] herself.]]

* TragicKeepsake: Serge [[CrushTheKeepsake destroying]] one of these, is what started their SiblingRivalry. It was a paper ring with writing on it from her little brother Leon.

* ManipulativeBastard: The most notable examples are: him tipping off Emile about Serge's interactions with Lelia, [[spoiler: manipulating Serge away from his idea of helping save Louise to earn his fathers trust and into conflict with Leon, and lying that he destroyed the ancient New Human LivingWeapon suit to keep his collusion with it secret.]]

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: The message he left for his sister: [[spoiler: "three tickets to save"]]

** Awakening Ideal and [[spoiler:cheating on Emile with Serge leads to Ideal manipulating them through their LoveTriangle, Noelle fatally wounded from TakingTheBullet for her, and [[CreateYourOwnVillain Emile becoming]] the TrueFinalBoss.]]

!! [[spoiler: Reincarnated]] Leon Sara Rault

* BornWinner: This would be his status in life as compared to his Holfort counterpart, he has everything that he would ever want: being born into the most powerful family, has a CoolBigSis, status as TheChosenOne and [[spoiler:a powerful RobotBuddy]] . Though the he had to deal with [[spoiler:this robot being the OmnicidalManiac Ideal, who has a greater desire to destroy the new humans than Luxion.]]
* TheChosenOne: The Sacred Tree [[spoiler:gives him the sacred Guardian Crest (the most powerful one) without needing the Lespinasse Priestess to bestow it.]] Even [[spoiler:Ideal]] was baffled how the hell he was chosen despite [[spoiler:how he threatened to blow up the Sacred Tree.]]

* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: [[spoiler:See above? Leon was able to pull what Lelia and Serge can't do in the main story. Ideal has no choice but to give his absolute loyalty as it was programmed into him, so he can't pull off his schemes against the New Mankind. Comically, Ideal is such a {{Determinator}} that he still seeks Leon's approval to destroy the New Mankind even though Leon rejected his plans 334 times.]]
* WhatIf: [[spoiler:Instead of Leon For Bartfort, the main character was reincarnated as Leon Sara Rault.]]

* GreenThumb: [[spoiler: Since Noel is still a priestess of the sapling, she is this. The main difference between her and a common Alzerian noble with a crest is that even she is far away from her tree, her power can trigger anywhere regardless of the place. It's even strong enough to destroy her room and stop multiple soldiers from Holy Kingdom of Rachel without her lifting a finger.]]

* LoveHurts: [[spoiler: Falls in love with Leon only to find out he's already engaged to two other women.]]

* NiceGirl: She's a sweet girl with a tomboy streak. She also listens at the woes of Leon's mother who can't communicate properly with Ange (whose status is too high for Luce) and Olivia (who gets really nervous because Luce own status is too high for Olivia). Even Colin sees her as a CoolBigSis because Finley and Jenna are {{Jerkass}} to their brothers.

%%* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple

* CharacterDevelopment: Goes through quite a lot of it.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Asks one to [[spoiler: Loic, “What is my favorite thing?”, to demonstrate he was LovingAShadow.]]

%%* SelfFulfillingProphecy: She is biased towards Albergue as the BigBad. [[spoiler: If Louise had died, he would surely become the villain she saw him as]]

* AlwaysWithYou: [[spoiler: After seeing Lelia's memories and forgiving her, he uses the last of his power to make her the new Priestess and promises to always watch over her.]]

* MercyKill: [[spoiler: Tries to do this on Serge who was assimilated into the Demonic Armor but fortunately Leon intervenes, stating that parents should not kill their children.]]

** Everyone notes that Serge's strength and physical prowess is potentially greater than anyone from the Alzer Republic. [[spoiler: Despite that, even though he knocks Leon a few times, once the latter stops playing around, Serge goes down in one punch even though he takes strength enhancing drugs.]]

* ManipulativeBastard: The most notable examples are, him tipping off Emile about Serge's interactions with Lelia, [[spoiler: manipulating Serge away from his idea of helping save Louise to earn his fathers trust and into conflict with Leon, and lying that he destroyed the ancient New Human LivingWeapon suit to keep his collusion with it secret.]]

* VillainsDyingGrace: [[spoiler:While Ideal is [[ThisIsUnforgivable ranting on how he will never forgive Leon and Luxion for destroying his plans of revenge against the new humanity]], he also witnessed Noelle's last moments and heard her calling Leon a liar. This caused him to remember also the same scenario where his dying commanding officer calls him the same. This caused Ideal to have a change of heart and gave Luxion data on how to save Noel. Luxion even lampshades this act.]]

* InSeriesNickname: ''Rotten-Professor Narcisse''. Clement {{affectionate|Nickname}}ly calls him Narcy/''Narcisse-kyun''.

[[folder:Hugues Toara Druille]]

* HostageSituation: Has his merchant associate take Carla and Noelle (the dog) hostage, with the threat that they'd be executed if Leon won. They're rescued by Marie using a [[CoolGuns/SubmachineGuns Thompson submachinegun]], and the four healthy princes.

* PrincelingRivalry: With his older brother for who's to be heir to Feivel House, a bad enough rivalry for said brother to fake Pierre's death to [[FateWorseThanDeath torture him in secret]].

%%* BettyAndVeronica: Male-example, the Betty to Serge's Veronica and Lelia's Archie

A gay teacher in Alzer’s academy. He’s actually a knight retainer still serving the crushed Lespinasse house, and is in charge of looking after the needs and protection of Noelle and Lelia.

An Alzer Prince and teacher, serving as a capture target in the second otome game. An archaeologist and adventurer, both professions looked down on by Alzer nobility. He is serving as a professor as an excuse to persue his passion, but nobody attends his class, so he’s about to be cut off. As the only way to enter his route is to sign up for his class in the first or second year, which neither Noelle or Lelia have, and since Leon and Marie find a TeacherStudentRomance problematic anyway, they give up on having him captured.

* InSeriesNickname: ''Rotten-Professor Narcisse''

* DeadPersonConversation: Visits Louise and Leon Fou Bartfort in their dreams, either due to the trip Livia, Angie, and Noelle took into the SpiritWorld, or due to the fact his [[DeadPersonImpersonation spirit was impersonated.]] His goals, were to [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy comfort Louise]], and try and build trust between them.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: The gist of his DeadPersonConversation with Louise in her dream. He is happy that Leon Fou Bartfort is looking after her.

* KidsHateVegetables: He found vegetables too bitter and had to force himself to eat them. Leon Fou Bartfort's same reaction to those vegetables was enough to bring back memories for the Raults, particularly the mother.

* AlwaysWithYou: [[spoiler: After forgiving Lelia, he uses the last of his power to make her the new Priestess and promises to always watch over her.]]

%%* BettyAndVeronica: Male-example, The Betty to Serge's Veronica and Lelia's Archie

* PowerUpLetDown: Despite Gier being somehow powerful than Arroganz in terms of performance and specs,[[spoiler: it became useless as Serge's continuous use of enhancing drugs muddled his motor functions and cognition. Making him predictable and linear that Leon could dodge his attacks with ease.]]

* ControlFreak: In their {{Backstory}}, started treating Noelle like an object, pointing out and correcting any perceived flaw he sees in her, which destroyed any chances he had with her.

* ShownTheirWork: Loic perfectly embodies one of the most popular archetypes found in real OtomeGame capture targets: The BastardBoyfriend type.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: All the conflicts in the latter half of the Alzer Republic story arc are pretty much her fault.

* HiddenDepths: In an InUniverse case of FridgeHorror, Marie suspects [[spoiler: he is actually the most [[Yandere jealous and possessive]] of the second game’s capture targets, because in the game the rest of the cast mysteriously all stop showing up if you start his route at the mid-point. This proves true when he goes IfICantHaveYou on Lelia, unloading a handgun at her.]]

* ElectiveMonarchy: While each of the major Houses rules essentially a hereditary monarchy onto itself, the leader of the Republic as a whole, is decided like this. It was always Lespinasse House, due to them always containing the tree's Priestess, until the RulingFamilyMassacre a decade before. The current rulers, are Rault House, [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt who did the killing.]]

* OfferedTheCrown: Typically, whoever married the tree Priestess, then became the Guardian. A Guardian Crest is the most powerful, overriding anyone else's. In practice, this meant House Lespinasse was always the Queen, and would [[ArrangedMarriage negotiate with the other Houses]], for who'd be King.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Especially shown in her interactions with Emile, she has a strong sense of entitlement, and sees no need to accommodate the feelings of others more than absolutely necessary.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:In the process of trying to pair Noelle with Loic, she inadvertently messed the storyline of the second game, failing to raise any flags for her sister to pair off with any of the capture targets (and as the case for Emile, she took him for herself), amplifying Loic's obsessive personality to the point where Noelle absolutely loathes him by the time Leon and Marie show up.]]
%% ** Awakening Ideal and cheating on Emile with Serge leads to Ideal manipulating them, Noelle fatally wounded from TakingTheBullet for her, [[CreateYourOwnVillain Leading to]] Emile and Ideal becoming the TrueFinalBoss.

* TheResenter: Towards her sister. This is mostly carried over from her past-life.

* ShipperWithAnAgenda: Treating her sister and the capture targets like videogame characters instead of people, causes a whole lot of trouble and suffering. She of course [[NeverMyFault blames others]] for the failure of her plans. [[spoiler: At least [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone for a while.]]]]
* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: Motivating her reckless treatment of Noelle, stemming from how Lelia's sister from her previous life, stole her fiancé, with their parents approval.

* TheUnfavorite: In her previous life, to the point that her parents cheered when Lelia's fiancé dumped her for her older sister.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: His father, Lambert Io Feivel, does nothing to discourage his son's behavior and is as much of a power-hungry GloryHound himself, only being more subtle about it.

%%* BettyAndVeronica: Male-example, The Betty to Serge's Veronica

* TheDogBitesBack: After Serge beats him up, [[spoiler: Emile helps Leon by telling him where Serge and Louise are, on his mission to rescue Louise, which Serge and Emile have been assigned to stop.]]

* ExtremeDoormat: His main character trait. He is willing to let Lelia walk all over him and use him without good explanations.

* HiddenDepths: In an in-universe case of FridgeHorror, Marie suspects [[spoiler: he is actually the most [[CrazyJealousGuy jealous and possessive]] of the second game’s capture targets, because in the game the rest of the cast mysteriously all stop showing up if you start his route at the mid-point. This proves true when he goes IfICantHaveYou on Lelia, unloading a handgun at her.]]

* BigGood: [[{{Irony}} Ironically]]. Leon's main backer in the Republic, alongside his daughter Louise.

* LikeASonToMe: Sees Leon Fou Bartfort as his son, since he is an IdenticalStranger in many ways, to his lost son Leon. Albergue apparently even spent a while attempting to adopt Leon.

* RegentForLife: After destroying Lespinasse House, he’s technically been "Acting Chairman" of the Republic for a decade, since there has been no Guardian or Priestess to rule
* RulingFamilyMassacre: DeconstructedTrope. According to the presented backstory of the second Otome Game, Rault House, led by Albergue, killed [[HiddenBackupPrince the protagonist's]] parents and destroyed their Lespinasse House, while she escaped. Only for the daughter of the perpetrating House (Louise), to end up bullying the protagonist while she attends classes under an alias. The reality of the situation is quite a bit more complicated: [[spoiler: The reason Lespinasse house was vulnerable, was due to the protagonist's parents doing socially outrageous experiments to [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow take control]] of the Sacred Tree, which caused them to be [[{{Depower}} de-powered]]. With their daughter being [[ArrangedMarriage betrothed to]] Rault House's heir, [[IdenticalStranger Leon Sara Rault]], who died, they didn't show up to his funeral, in order to hide that they lost their Crests. Anger over this disrespect, caused Albergue to uncover the secret, share it with the other House leaders, and attack with their blessing, but he spared their daughters because he knew they were innocent, as well as [[CruelToBeKind tasking his daughter Louise to protect them]].]]
* SadisticChoice: When faced with the choice between [[spoiler: [[HumanSacrifice sacrificing his daughter]], or fighting the rest of the Republic Great Houses, he [[ThickerThanWater chooses the latter]]. That is, until Leon [[TakeAThirdOption gives him a third option]].]]

* ShipperOnDeck: He’s subtle about it. Anytime Leon visits their mansion, Albergue is sure to ask him to visit Louise in her bedroom, which Leon eventually realizes is quite irregular.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler: A ruler being biased in favor of a foreign power at expense of his home country, as he is for Leon, is bound to stir up nationalist resentment, and all the other Great Houses conspire to make House Barrielle Chairman.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: It is noted by people that Alzer's combat skills have grown weak throughout the years for depending too much on the Sacred Tree and Narcisse being amazed by Leon's party who just plowed the dungeon without any effort .[[spoiler: As it turns out not only their combat skill have atrophied but also their innate physical strength. Serge happens to be a NormalFishInATinyPond due to choosing to become an adventurer(which is looked down upon by the Alzer Commonwealth) and depending on performance-enhancing drugs to augment his strength but compared to Leon and the five idiots who trained for years and don't need any drugs, his physical strength is only "normal" compared to them. Combined with his cockiness and lucky hits, [[TemptingFate he underestimates Leon]] until the latter stops playing around and [[IAmNotLeftHandedonly needs only one hit to take him down]].]]

* HateAtFirstSight: To Leon Fou Bartfort upon seeing his resemblance to late Leon Sara Rault.
* HiddenDepths: He's actually half-hearted about adventuring, using it as an excuse to run away from his family issues.

* {{Irony}}: Despite his efforts to try to make his own identity to stop being compared to Leon Sara Rault, he was still inferior in all aspects when it comes to Leon Fou Bartfort, and thus he tries to copy and outdo Leon in anyway he can:
** Everyone notes that Serge's strength and physical prowess is potentially greater than anyone from the Alzer Republic. [[spoiler: Despite that, even though he knocks Leon a few times, once the latter stop playing around, Serge goes down in one punch even though he takes strength enhancing drugs.]]
** [[spoiler: His plan to takeover Alzer Republic is somewhat similar to Leon attacking the Republic several times to humble them.]]

** His Mecha Gier is also named after one of the SevenDeadlySins, which represents his FatalFlaw and also a StealthInsult given by Ideal.

* PowerUpLetDown: Despite Gier is somehow powerful than Arroganz in terms of performance and specs,[[spoiler: it became useless as Serge's continuous use of enhancing drugs muddled his motor functions and cognition. Making him predictable and linear that Leon could dodge his attacks with ease.]]

* BerserkButton: Calling him or just implying that he is a liar. [[spoiler:It also serves as a TraumaButton because it reminds of his last conversation with his Second Lieutenant where [[LetThemDieHappy he was forced to lie as not to make her worry.]]]]

* LastWords: [[spoiler:[[SorryThatImDying I’m sorry, everyone.]] I failed to fulfill my promise. After all, I was still a liar. I’m really ―― I’m sorry. My apologies.]]

* PlayingBothSides: [[spoiler:Uses the LoveTriangle between Emile, Serge, and Lelia, to make the former two into his pawns.]]

* SapientShip: Like Luxion. A military transport left over from [[TheRemnant Old Mankind's armies.]]

* SustainedMisunderstanding: [[spoiler: Leon thinking he and Noelle are a potential couple, despite both of them denying it. This helps keep Leon ObliviousToLove, which has serious consequences.]]

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: After the complaints of the first game being NintendoHard, the second game is said to be playable and much easier to complete. This reason is [[spoiler: the Sacred Tree is helping everyone regardless of affiliation, on the flipside made them weaker physically. That's why everyone from the Holfort Kingdom is much stronger in normal hand-to-hand combat as PowerCreepPowerSeep doesn't exist in the real world. The only thing that prevents the Alzer Republic from being curbstomped totally is due to the Sacred Tree's power.]]

* LikeASongToMe: Sees Leon Fou Bartfort as his son, since he is an IdenticalStranger in many ways, to his lost son Leon. Albergue apparently even spent a while attempting to adopt Leon.

* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler: When attacking Hugues and his forces for backing out of their plot to depose Alberg, due to Leon stopping Loic’s wedding.]]

* TragicKeepsake: Serge [[CrushTheKeepsake destroying]] one of these, is what started their SiblingRivalry. It was a paper ring with writing on it from Leon Rault.

* FeudingFamilies: Sees Rault House like this, telling Leon WhatTheHellHero for cooperating with them. Considering that they killed her parents, it's easy to understand why. Noelle doesn't share this viewpoint, and would just be happy to have nothing to do with nobles, and not be picked on by Louise.

* SkyPirate: Half of his minions are Sky Pirates, who operated from Feivel territory, targeting the outside world.

* WarForFunAndProfit: He and his hangers-on want to start a war with the Kingdom just for the prestige. Also supports Sky Pirates raiding other countries.

[[folder:Alberg Sara Rault]]
!!Alberg Sara Rault

* FamilyOfChoice: Sees Leon as his son, since he is an IdenticalStranger in many ways, to his lost son Leon Rault. Alberg apparently even spent a while attempting to adopt Leon.

* OneWingedAngel: According to what’s known about the second game’s plot, Alberg transforms like this to become the FinalBoss, [[FusionDance fusing with]] Alzer’s Sacred Tree after something happens to [[DaddysLittleVillain his daughter]] Louise. [[spoiler: Instead, after going IfICantHaveYou on Lelia [[LoveTriangle over Serge]], Emile does this in his place.]]
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Leon Rault, who was [[IdenticalStranger identical to Leon Fou Bartfort]].

* RulingFamilyMassacre: DeconstructedTrope. According to the presented backstory of the second Otome Game, Rault House, led by Alberg, killed [[HiddenBackupPrince the protagonist's]] parents and destroyed their Lespinasse House, while she escaped. Only for the daughter of the perpetrating House (Louise), to end up bullying the protagonist while she attends classes under an alias. The reality of the situation is quite a bit more complicated: [[spoiler: The reason Lespinasse house was vulnerable, was due to the protagonist's parents doing socially outrageous experiments to [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow take control]] of the Sacred Tree, which caused them to be [[{{Depower}} de-powered]]. With their daughter being [[ArrangedMarriage betrothed to]] Rault House's heir, [[IdenticalStranger Leon Rault]], who died, they didn't show up to his funeral, in order to hide that they lost their Crests. Anger over this disrespect, caused Alberg to uncover the secret, share it with the other House leaders, and attack with their blessing, but he spared their daughters because he knew they were innocent, as well as [[CruelToBeKind tasking his daughter Louise to protect them]].]]

* ShipperOnDeck: He’s subtle about it. Anytime Leon visits their mansion, Alberg is sure to ask him to visit Louise in her bedroom, which Leon eventually realizes is quite irregular.

A capture target in the second Otome Game, Serge is a troubled youth who was adopted by Alberg, from a branch family, to serve as heir to Rault House in the absence of a male child, only to leave against his new father's wishes and become an adventurer. He is romantically interested in Lelia.

* AdoptionAngst: Quite a lot of it. Was adopted from a branch House to serve as Alberg's heir, but never quite fit in, clashing with his new sister especially, and disappointing his father by aiming to be an adventurer.

* AntagonisticOffspring: Downplayed. Doesn't get along with his adoptive father Alberg, and goes directly against his plans. [[spoiler: Eventually played straight, after he plans to launch a coup for control of Alzer, imprisoning Alberg and declaring himself King with the help of the Holy Kingdom of Rachelle, and Ideal.]]

* DisinheritedChild: [[spoiler: After fighting against Leon's efforts to rescue Louise from being offered as a HumanSacrifice to the Sacred Tree, Alberg disinherits Serge, saying it's so he can pursue adventuring without burdens. The fact that Alberg didn't ask Serge first suggests it was done out of anger.]]

* FusionDance: [[spoiler:The FinalBoss of the second otome game is Ideal fused with someone through the Sacred Tree. In the game it was Alberg, and in the novel’s story, Emile.]]

The only biological son of Alberg Rault. He had a close relationship with his big sister Louise, only to catch an inexplicable and unidentifiable illness and die at the age of five, after being betrothed to Noelle by the two's parents. His death had enormous consequences.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: After the complaints of the first game being NintendoHard, the second game is said to be playable and much easier to complete. This reason is [[spoiler: the Sacred Tree is helping everyone regardless of affiliation, on the flipside made them weaker physically. That's why everyone from the Holfort Kingdom is much stronger on normal hand to hand combat as PowerCreepPowerSeep doesn't exist in the real world. The only thing that prevents the Alzer Republic from being curbstomped totally is due to the Sacred Tree's power.]]

* OfferedTheCrown: Typically, whoever married the tree Priestess, then became the Guardian. A Guardian Crest is the most powerful, overriding anyone elses. In practice, this meant House Lespinasse was always the Queen, and would [[ArrangedMarriage negotiate with the other Houses]], for who'd be King.

* WeHaveBecomeComplacent: The ruling families of the Alzer Republic suffer from this due to the magic granted to them by their WorldTree, blissfuly dismissive of potential threats. Which actually works towards the protagonist’s benefit, [[HeadInTheSandManagement for a while]].

* DeadPersonImpersonation: Both the ancient New Human LivingWeapon, and Leon Fou Bartfort, impersonate him to manipulate Louise, [[FlawExploitation exploiting]] her FatalFlaw. The former did it as a trick to use her as a LivingBattery, and the latter to get her to cooperate with preventing her offering herself as a HumanSacrifice that would have resulted in her being such.

* KidsHateVegetables: He had a dislike for a certain vegetable for its particular bitterness.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: She's more [[PluckyGirl lively and outgoing]] in contrast to Olivia.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler: Her playing through the second game and seeing the true end has basically given her ConfirmationBias towards Loic. She's convinced that everything will work out as long as Noelle ends up with Loic and ignores or only reluctantly acknowledges all of Loic's [[StalkerWithACrush flaws]] while only needing a few [[BlatantLies paper thin excuses]] to jump back to her previous mentality with barely any hesitation.]]

%%* ForTheEvulz: Antagonizing the Holfort exchange students

* CrushTheKeepsake: Doing this to Louise is what started their SiblingRivalry.

* DoggedNiceGuy: In stark contrast to Loic, uses this approach courting Lelia. [[spoiler: It works pretty well, and she develops feelings for him.]]

* HateAtFirstSight: To Leon Fou Bartfort upon seeing his resemblance to Leon Sara Rault.

* SmugSuper: Their attitude towards the rest of the world. To the point, some nobles are happy to engage in WarForFunAndProfit, with Faiviel House hosting SkyPirates without it causing any uproar, due to them only targetting the outside world.

* LoveHurts: [[spoiler: Fell in love with Leon only to find out he's already engaged to two other women.]]

[[folder:Loic Leta Barriérre]]
!!Loic Leta Barriérre

Prince and heir of Barriérre House and one of the capture targets of the second game. Described as a good man despite his personality, by the time Leon and Marie arrive in Alzer, he has been harrassing Noelle for quite a while, causing her to hate him. In the second game, the heroine pairing up with him is considered the true ending.

-->''"Call me [[CoolBigSis Onee-chan]]."''

* PoliticallyActivePrincess: She’s essentially a princess twice over (her father being King of one of Alzer’s six kingdoms, and its chairman). She’ll happily push her family’s weight around [[RoyalFavorite for Leon]], which her rival Noelle actually tries to help talk Leon into accepting.

* TraumaButton: Repeatedly [[{{Jerkass}} pressed]] by her adoptive brother Serge, it's the death of her little brother Leon Rault.

* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: In the seventh volume, [[spoiler: Leon finally granting Louise’s request to call her big sis, causes her to become ecstatic and give Leon his FirstKiss.]]

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: After she realizes she has been inflicting all the injustices done to her in her past life, she determines to take up all the responsibilities she pushed onto Noelle earlier, as Alzer’s priestess, and rebuild the country.]]
* DecompositeCharacter: InUniverse, as in the Otome Game there was only one survivor of Lespinasse House, but there is also Noelle. The Otome protagonist had twin-tales hair, but each sister wears it to one side.

[[folder:Pierre Io Faiviel]]
!!Pierre Io Faiviel

The delinquent Second Prince of the Faiviel House and an antagonist in the second game. In the game, he plays a major role in an event that would have affirmed the love between the heroine and one of the capture targets.

* FramingTheGuiltyParty: Leon and Luxion frame Pierre and his minions for attacking Faiviel territory with Einhorn, and Pierre himself for attacking the audience of their duel.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Stealing the Einhorn leads to his downfall when Luxion seizes control of it and goes on a rampage, with Faiviel territory taking the brunt of the damage.

* PrincelingRivalry: With his older brother for who's to be heir to Faiviel House, a bad enough rivalry for said brother to fake Pierre's death to [[FateWorseThanDeath torture him in secret]].

* SkyPirate: Half of his minions are Sky Pirates, who operated from Faiviel territory, targeting the outside world.
* SpareToTheThrone: Of Faiviel House. His main goal is to build up resources to usurp his elder brother as heir. He was planning to kill him, but starts to be hopeful about outshining him enough to be declared heir by their father.

Second Prince of House Plaven, and a capture target of the Second Otome Game. He is known as ''Easy-Pick Emile'' by Marie, because he was the easiest to capture, even later on, in the game. He is in a relationship with Lelia, and submissive to her.

* HiddenDepths: In an in-universe case of FridgeHorror, Marie suspects [[spoiler: he is [[CrazyJealousGuy actually the most jealous and possessive]] of the second game’s capture targets, because in the game the rest of the cast mysteriously all stop showing up if you start his route at the mid-point. This proves true when he goes IfICantHaveYou on Lelia, unloading a handgun at her.]]

* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler: When Lelia gives herself over to him after he merged with the Sacred Tree to become the FinalBoss, seeking to atone for her treatment of him and Noelle, he sees all of her past-life memories and accepts her before passing on [[GoOutWithASmile with a smile]].]]
* SpareToTheThrone: Of House Plaven.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler: A ruler being biased in favor of a foreign power at expense of his home country, as he is for Leon, is bound to stir up nationalist resentment, and all the other Great Houses conspire to make House Barriérre Chairman.]]

[[folder:Narcisse Calse Granze]]
!! Narcisse Calse Granze

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: Gradually falls into this role, being the most grounded character and realizing the mistakes of others quickly.
* OutOfFocus: For most of the sixth volume, considering [[spoiler: she doesn’t want to bring any heat on Leon or herself from his fiancée, until they declare that they accept her.]]

* UnwantedRescue: [[spoiler: Due mainly to feeling like [[LoveHurts her feelings for Leon are unrequited]], she rejects Leon's rescue attempts, after she's coerced into marrying Loic. Marie, who's [[DomesticAbuse been in abusive relationships herself]], believes Noelle thinks it will be alright if she just bears through with it long enough. Leon eventually, with the convincing of the five princes, rescues her anyway.]]

* InSeriesNickname: Called ''[[GoldenEnding Royal-road]] Loic'', by Marie.

* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler: When attacking Hughes and his forces for backing out of their plot to depose Alberg, due to Leon stopping Loic’s wedding.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:]]

* AltarDiplomacy: Her ArrangedMarriage engagement with Hugh is this, for an alliance between their Great Houses. [[spoiler: Since Hugh back-stabs the Rault family, it’s dissolved with the excuse of Hugh being a DirtyCoward at Loic’s crashed wedding.]]

* DisposableFiance: It’s not focused on like it was for Angelica or Clarice, but she’s engaged to Hugh, a capture target, as part of the game’s plot, to form a political alliance between the Great Houses. The two barely speak, and he’d rather be off partying.

* DirtyCoward: As typical of bullies, he's only willing to target those who can't retaliate, so he backs down when faced with another Alzer Great House noble.

Second Prince of House Plaven, and a capture target of the Second Otome Game. He is known as ''Safe-Tile Emile'' by Marie, because he was the easiest to capture, even later on, in the game. He is in a relationship with Lelia, and submissive to her.

* InSeriesNickname: ''Safe-Tile Emile''. Which seems to have been an InUniverse FanNickname.

[[folder:Hugh Toara Druille]]
!! Hugh Toara Druille

* NoodleIncident: Whatever got him the InUniverse FanNickname ''Brocon Hugh''.

* AntiMagic: The Sacred Tree Crests, let their user nullify a target's (non-tree related) magic, via summoned roots from the ground. If the target does have a crest, the one with the higher ranked crest wins, or if they're equal ranked, a stalemate ensues.[[spoiler: Ideal's side story reveals that the true purpose of the Sacred Tree is to clean and filter the magic that have poisoned the whole world that rendered it unhabitable and dangerous, which explains why it can nullify magic.]]

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: After the complaints of the first game being NintendoHard, the second game is said to be playable and much easier to complete. This reason is [[spoiler: the Sacred tree is helping everyone regardless of affiliation, on the flipside made them weaker physically. That's why everyone from the Holfort Kingdom is much stronger on normal hand to hand combat as PowerCreepPowerSeep doesn't exist in the real world. The only thing that prevents the Alzer Republic from being curbstomped totally is due to the Sacred Tree's power.]]

* HomefieldAdvantage: In addition to their sacred tree crests, they've found ways to integrate the Tree's magic into airships and mechs, granting them a massive amount of energy. The issue is, neither crests, nor that integration, work at great distances from the tree itself.

* PowerTattoo: The sacred tree's ''gift'' or ''crest'', that gives their nobles their powers. They have PowerLevels, which makes more powerful ones override less powerful ones, which are, from most to least powerful: Guardian, Priestess, Great House, and Vassal House.

* ThemeNaming: Many of their first names are of French origin

* DefectorFromDecadence: She dislikes Republic nobles and the Sacred Tree. Despite being from one of the Great Houses herself. Noelle helps and encourages Leon as he fights them, while clashing with her rival Louise, who's the daughter of their leader.

* PlayingWithFire: His ''gifts'' from the sacred tree are fire-based, including giving him a FlamingSword, befitting his color scheme.

A Princess of the ruling Rault House, and villainess of the second otome game. She and her junior Noelle tend to quarrel whenever they meet. However, she has taken a strange interest in Leon, due to his striking resemblence to her dead little brother.

* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler: All of the other Great Noble Houses of Alzer, as well as Louise herself, are tricked into going along with giving her as an offering to the [[WorldTree Sacred Tree]], by a voice seemingly emanating from said tree, as well as a false blooming of its flowers.]]

* PlaguedByNightmares: [[spoiler: Of her brother, after being told to sacrifice herself to the [[WorldTree Sacred Tree]]. It's possible the dreams were part of a psychic attack on her.]]

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: Is convinced she can join with her dead brother by [[HumanSacrifice sacrificing herself]] to the [[WorldTree Sacred Tree]], which Leon tries hard but ultimately fails to convince her not to. It's only Angie, Olivia, and Noelle tricking the entity speaking to her into proving it isn't her brother, that she realizes it was all a lie.]]

* UnwantedRescue: [[spoiler: After she gives herself up as a sacrifice to the [[WorldTree Sacred Tree]], Leon tries to convince her he's [[DeadPersonImpersonation really her dead brother]], only to not know [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay something only he would know]], which makes her lash out at him, and help attack him, in her broken down mental state.]]

* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: Motivating her reckless treatment of Noelle, stemming from how Lelia's sister from her previous life, stole her Fiance, with their parents approval.

* LeonineContract: Tells Marie and everyone at the mansion, under oath of the sacred tree, that they must either fight each other until only one remains, or give him the CoolAirship Einhorn. They would have been executed by sacred tree roots if they disobeyed, thus Pierre steals the Einhorn.

* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: Steals from Leon with an unfair sacred tree-enforced wager, and beats Jean to a pulp. Leon tricks him with his own wager, and [[ExtremeMeleeRevenge beats him to a pulp himself]].

* ConflictingLoyalty: He is upset with Louise for doing so much to help a foreigner, until he meets Leon, and shares in her bias in his favor, due to Leon's [[IdenticalStranger similarity to]] his late son. [[spoiler: This has the SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, of all of the other Great Houses plotting together to depose House Rault as Chairmen.]]

* RulingFamilyMassacre: DeconstructedTrope. According to the presented backstory of the second Otome Game, Rault House, led by Alberg, killed [[HiddenBackupPrince the protagonist's]] parents and destroyed their Lespinasse House, while she escaped. Only for the daughter of the perpetrating House (Louise), to end up bullying the protagonist while she attends classes under an alias. The reality of the situation is quite a bit more complicated: [[spoiler: The reason Lespinasse house was vulnerable, was due to the protagonist's parents doing socially outrageous experiments to [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow take control]] of the [[WorldTree Sacred Tree]], which caused them to be [[{{Depower}} de-powered]]. With their daughter being [[ArrangedMarriage betrothed to]] Rault House's heir, [[IdenticalStranger Leon Rault]], who died, they didn't show up to his funeral, in order to keep the fact that they lost their Crests secret. Anger over this disrespect, caused Alberg to uncover the secret, share it with the other House leaders, and attack with their blessing, but he spared their daughters because he knew they were innocent, as well as [[CruelToBeKind tasking his daughter Louise to protect them]].]]

* DisinheritedChild: [[spoiler: After fighting against Leon's efforts to rescue Louise from being offered as a HumanSacrifice to the sacred tree, Alberg disinherits Serge, saying it's so he can pursue adventuring without burdens. The fact that Alberg didn't ask Serge first suggests it was done out of anger.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: It is noted by people that Alzer's combat skills have grown weak throughout the years for depending too much on the Sacred Tree and Narcisse being amazed by Leon's party who just plowed the dungeon without any effort .[[spoiler: As it turns out not only their combat skill have atrophied but also their innate physical strength. Serge happens to be a NormalFishInATinyPond due to choosing to become an adventurer(which is looked down upon by the Alzer Commonwealth) and depending on enhancing drugs to augment his strength but compared to Leon and the five idiots who trained for years and don't need any drugs, his physical strength is only "normal" compared to them. Combined with his cockiness and lucky hits, [[TemptingFate he underestimates Leon]] until the latter stops playing around and [[IAmNotLeftHandedonly needs only one hit to take him down]].]]

* FusionDance: [[spoiler:The FinalBoss of the second otome game is Ideal fused with someone through the sacred tree. In the game it was Alberg, and in the novel’s story, Emile.]]

* BornWinner: This would be his status in life as compared to his Holfort counterpart, he has everything that he want: born into the most powerful family, has a CoolBigSis, TheChosenOne and [[spoiler:a powerful RobotBuddy]] . Though the he had to deal with [[spoiler:this robot being the OmnicidalManiac Ideal, who has a greater desire to destroy the new humans than Luxion.]]

* CuttingTheKnot: How did Leon managed to secure [[spoiler:Ideal's absolute loyalty even though the latter resorts to LoopholeAbuse? He sensed that Ideal was attached to the sacred tree so Leon blackmailed Ideal that he was going to bomb the tree itself, consequences be damned.]]
* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: [[spoiler:See above? Leon was able to pull what Leila and Serge can't do in the main story. Ideal has no choice but to give his absolute loyalty as it was programmed into him, so he can't pull off his schemes against the New Mankind. Comically, Ideal is such a {{Determinator}} that he still seeks Leon's approval to destroy the New Mankind even though Leon rejected his plans 334 times.]]
* WhatIf: [[spoiler:Instead of Leon For Bartfort, the main character was reincarnated into Leon Sara Rault]]

* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: She was researching on how to return the earth from before as due to magic from the war it poisoned the Earth, making it unhabitable. Her efforts resulted to a sapling that can absorb magic from the ground and air, which is the reason why everyone exists today.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Her, Ideal and Yume's effort to restore the world. Their efforts resulted into the Sacred Tree of Alzer Republic, which helped to restore Earth from magic poisoning. The Second Lieutenant created the sapling, Ideal took care of it so it can grow and Yume spread the seeds by WalkingTheEarth before she dies due to old age.

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: In an in-universe case of FridgeHorror, Marie suspects he is [[BewareTheNiceOnes actually the most jealous]] and possessive of the second game’s capture targets, because in the game the rest of the cast mysteriously all stop showing up if you start his route at the mid-point. This proves true when he goes IfICantHaveYou on Lelia, unloading a handgun at her.]]

* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler: When Lelia gives herself over to him after he merged with the Sacred Tree to become the FinalBoss, seeking to atone for her treatment of him and Noelle, he sees all of her past-life memories and accepts her before passing [[GoOutWithASmile with a smile]].]]

* FlawExploitation: [[spoiler:Her FatalFlaw gets exploited by way of DeadPersonImpersonation of her dead brother, both by an ancient New Human LivingWeapon intent on using her as a LivingBattery, and by Leon Bartfort trying to keep her from unwittingly [[HumanSacrifice sacrificing herself]] to the former.]]

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: [[spoiler: What busts Leon Bartfort's DeadPersonImpersonation of her dead younger brother, which he did to try and sway her into accepting being rescued while she wasn't in a good mental state. Little Leon gave her a [[TragicKeepsake paper ring]] with writing on the inside, and Bartfort guessed it wrong.]]

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler: Her playing through the second game and seeing the true end has basically given her confirmation bias towards Loic. She's convinced that everything will work out as long as Noelle ends up with Loic and ignores or only reluctantly acknowledges all of Loic's [[StalkerWithACrush flaws]] while only needing a few [[BlatantLies paper thin excuses]] to jump back to her previous mentality with barely any hesitation.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Breaks down in tears, when she realizes she put Noelle through the same suffering her past-life family had put her through, as well as doing worse to Emile than her past-life ex-fiance had done to her.]]

* YouAreWhatYouHate: [[spoiler: After Noelle tells her the truth about how Noelle was TheUnfavorite, and told to be the Priestess to free up Lelia to run the household, Lelia realizes she has been just like her hated older sister in her previous life.]]

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Leon Rault, who was [[IdenticalStranger identical to Leon Bartfort]].

* AdoptionAngst: Quite a lot of it. Was adopted from a branch House to serve as Alberg's heir, but never quite fit in, clashing with his new sister especially, and dissappointing his father by aiming to be an adventurer.

* DisinheritedChild: [[spoiler: After fighting against Leon's efforts to rescue Louise from being offered as a HumanSacrifice to the sacred tree, Alberg disinherits Serge, saying it's so he can persue adventuring without burdens. The fact that Alberg didn't ask Serge first suggests it was done out of anger.]]

* FantasticDrug: Overdoses on combat stimulants in battle, ruining himself in the proccess.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: It is noted by people that Alzer's combat skills have grown weak thru out the years for depending too much on the Sacred Tree and Narcisse being amazed by Leon's party who just plowed the dungeon without any effort .[[spoiler: As it turns out not only their combat skill have atrophied but also their innate physical strength. Serge happens to be a NormalFishInATinyPond due to choosing to become an adventurer(which is looked down upon by the Alzer Commonwealth) and depending on enhancing drugs to augment his strength but compared to Leon and the five idiots who trained for years doesn't need any drugs, his physical strength is only "normal" compared to them. Combined with his cockiness and lucky hits, [[TemptingFate he underestimates Leon]] until the latter stops playing around and [[IAmNotLeftHandedonly needs only one hit to take him down]].]]

* {{Irony}}: Despite his efforts to try to make his own identity to stop being compared to Leon Sara Rault, he was still inferior in all aspects when it comes to Leon Bartfort, and thus he tries to copy and outdo Leon in anyway he can:

* {{Jerkass}}: Driven by his lack of a sense of belonging in his family, mainly targetting said family, which includes Leon, who's AlwaysSomeoneBetter, and more accepted than him, and his ([[GoldDigger percieved]]) rival for Lelia's affections, Emile.

* MeaningfulName: His armor is named Gier (German for greed). It represents his desire for love and recognition but yet [[AllTakeAndNoGive he doesn't even put effort to reciprocate]]. Later, it wholly represents his desire to get everything by becoming the King of Alzer and killing Leon Balfort.

* PowerUpLetDown: Despite Gier is somehow powerful than Arroganz in terms of perfomance and specs,[[spoiler: it became useless as Serge continous use of enhancing drugs muddled his motor functions and cognition. Making him predictable and linear that Leon could dodge his attacks with ease.]]
* SiblingRivalry: He and Louise have a long history of hating one another, to the point that the possibility of Serge adventuring with Leon being brought up, hurts Louise's feelings. Once the two are shown together, Serge bullies Louise. It started when Serge threw everything related to Leon Rault into the fireplace soon after he was adopted.

* BrotherSisterIncest: While Louise's feelings on this matter are [[IncestSubtext made unambiguous]], and likely the result of his death, it's likely but not certain that his strong love for Louise [[TheFourLoves was ultimately familial]]. However, Leon Bartfort's reaction to seeing his memories of Louise in a dream, is to immediately think, ''"Am I a sis-con?"''
* DeadPersonConversation: Visits Louise and Leon Bartfort in their dreams, either due to the trip Livia, Angie, and Noelle took into the SpiritWorld, or due to the fact his [[DeadPersonImpersonation spirit was impersonated.]] His goals, were to [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy comfort Louise]], and try and build trust between them.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: Both the ancient New Human LivingWeapon, and Leon Bartfort, impersonate him to manipulate Louise, [[FlawExploitation exploiting]] her FatalFlaw. The former did it as a trick to use her as a LivingBattery, and the latter to get her to cooperate with preventing her offering herself as a HumanSacrifice that would have resulted in her being such.

* IdenticalStranger: To Leon Bartfort, which has a huge impact on the plot, due to the second Otome Game's FinalBoss and Villainess both being heavily biased in his favor due to the resemblence to their dead relative. Whether it's just the appearance or also the personality, is ZigZagged.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: The gist of his DeadPersonConversation with Louise in her dream. He is happy that Leon Bartfort is looking after her.

* WhatIf: [[spoiler:Instead of Leon Bratfort, the main character was reincarnated into Leon Sara Rault]]
