[[caption-width-right:350:Our "hero", the mob]]
-->''"It's the best feeling in the world! To use [[PayToWin such power]] to completely crush guys who were talking big is so satisfying! Also, seeing you five pitiful souls thinking you could actually beat me is such a riot! I might be arrogant, but it's also true that you can't beat me! How's it feel to lose to someone you view as inferior, prince!?"''
The protagonist. A Japanese salaryman who lost his home [[MistakenForGay after being accused of having Yaoi that was in fact his sister's]]. Said sister blackmails him into playing an ''otome game'' two days straight, resulting in his death from exhaustion. Now reborn as a mob (background NPC) in the world of the game, he gains his memories of his previous life at age five. Despite the game's [[CrapsaccharineWorld fluffy surface]], Leon finds himself at the bottom of a feudal FantasticCasteSystem in LadyLand, and exploited. After seeking out his [[BribingYourWayToVictory cheat item]] [[RobotBuddy Luxion]] in desperation, Leon decides to stay out of the game’s plot as much as possible while attending the Royal Academy, in the hopes of living an easy life in obscurity. This of course, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption doesn't go as planned.]]

----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: A common reaction to the manga adaptation, is to note how attractive Leon is. He's repeatedly referred to as average looking in the novels, contrasting the game's dateable cast. Although, Olivia does call him cute at one point.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Certainly not all (his problems finding a marriage are a major plot point), but it’s not uncommon for his LoveInterests to giggle at his bad behaviors.
* ArcWords: Luxion tells Leon when they first meet, that being called a coward is the [[CombatPragmatist greatest compliment one can receive]] on the battlefield. Leon thinks and brings this up multiple times to justify [[ThePlan his gambits.]]
* ArmsDealer: Eventually uses spoils of conflict as starting resources to build an airship shipyard. Being the PragmaticHero that he is, Leon leverages it for maximum political advantage, and to prepare for future conflicts.
* BadassBystander: Leon was originally this prior to stepping up as Angelica's representative for the duel due to his reputation as a successful adventurer at a young age. Incidentally, doing so ultimately serves as the reason he winds up in the middle of the resulting butterfly effect.
* BecomingTheMask: When Leon tries to act, he tends to fall into this. He feigns interest in tea ceremonies, and then becomes obsessed with them. He feigns interest to the Queen to tease her, but is surprised to find himself genuinely interested.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Downplayed, but part of the reason why Leon didn't just cut and run when he became adventurer was because his younger brother would have just been given his engagement in lieu of him.
* BiggerStick: His possession of Luxion serves as this. Any situation that needs to be resolved through force will ultimately end up in his favor.
* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: InvokedTrope. He prefers to call it ThePowerOfFriendship! [[spoiler: He offers his fellow poor noblemen free state-of-the-art airships, using the excuse of promoting his factory. Then he promises to cut them off from repairs and maintenance if they don't fight under his command, since they can't get them anywhere else due to the technology on them.]]
* BottledHeroicResolve: Gets inspired to have some prepared, after seeing Serge use combat stimulants. It grants him SuperSenses and a boost to speed and reaction time, but leaves him requiring medical treatment afterwords.
* BreakThemByTalking: Frequently uses this. A good example is what he does to the datable cast of the first game when he fights them, brutally calling them out for their weaknesses - both physically and mentally.
** Greg tries to excuse his disadvantage due to Leon's armor being far more advanced, Leon points out that Greg intentionally fights with an outdated and mass-produced model when he's more than rich enough to use a much stronger armor. He then follows up saying that ''preparation is half the battle'' which Greg has neglected to do due to his ego as he points out how weak Greg is as a result. This leaves Greg foaming at the mouth as he pathetically tries to fight Leon's armor with his bare hands.
** When Chris tries to complain about how Leon lacks honor after Leon uses his drones, Leon points out how hypocritical that is when Chris was fine with a five on one match against Leon. After Leon catches and breaks Chris' sword, Chris goes into self-pity mode only for Leon to point out that he doesn't care at all.
** Leon was annoyed at Jilk's attempts to murder him but he truly is engaged when Jilk tried to threaten his family. He reveals that he recorded Jilk's threat and threatens to release the recording to have Jilk disowned and damage Julius' reputation. This leaves Jilk a blabbing mess till Leon does his final blow. In fact it's shown that Jilk was the one who was most hurt after the match, having bandages over his face while the others are unscathed.
** While Leon can sympathize with Julius' [[TheChainsOfCommanding issues with being the crown prince]], he points out that Julius has had a ''far'' easier life than the average male noble since he was never in danger of being forced into a marriage with a far older woman, being told upfront he's not rich enough to talk to or that he's only a source of income for his wife and her lover/slaves. After Julius orders that this match won't end till one of them dies, Leon points out Julius is all too willing to use the perks of being the prince despite his stated hatred of being forced into the position.
* BribeBackfire: He often pays hefty bribes when he wants to effect the Kingdom’s politics. This always gets him promoted, which he hates.
* BrilliantButLazy: He's capable of accomplishing pretty much anything if he actually puts his mind to it, but he usually lacks the motivation to do so. Even without trying too much, he's still getting above average marks. [[spoiler:He eventually grows to regret this attitude when his lack of preparation cause the Principality to invade and him scrabbling to counter.]]
** Julius later thinks to himself, that Leon would be TheAce if he wasn't this, outshining himself and the other princes. This is after Leon comes to respect [[MagikarpPower the five prince's capabilities.]]
* ChivalrousPervert: Leon starts to look like this in the later volumes, which he gets called out for by multiple characters.
* CluelessChickMagnet: For someone who keeps calling himself a "Mob", Leon has actually managed to get the attention of a good number of women. Not that he's aware of it. In fact, [[spoiler:he probably thinks only Angelica and Olivia like him, and that's only because they decide to confront him about his feelings. Marie notes that Leon also got the attention of girls in their past lives, but he was just as clueless as he was now.]]
** Averted later on in the series, where Leon starts being proud of going on dates with different women, which always gets him called ''[[PhraseCatcher the worst]]''.
* CoolBigBro: One of Leon's positive qualities. He maybe a snarky {{Jerkass}} and a selfish bastard sometimes but when it comes to his siblings he would go into great lengths to protect and cherish them. This is the reason why his younger brother Collin treats him with BigBrotherWorship, and Nicks respects and admires him, [[spoiler: while Marie begs Olivia to take everything she has in exchange for him.]] One could also see his spoiling of Kyle by offering to let him ride Arroganz despite the taboo of doing so, as this.
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: After finishing the game for his little sister, he gets even with her by using the picture she sent her to their family to expose her. He admits then he could've done that first and not play the game. But then we wouldn't have a story would we?
* CycleOfRevenge: Leon gets into one with the majority of the student body of the Academy, starting with his ZeroApprovalGambit to get expelled that backfired. Leon takes [[{{Troll}} sadistic pleasure in]] seeing people who hate him suffer, so he wastes no opportunity to gamble against them and berate them, while the students in many cases outright assault him, at least the ones who [[BullyingADragon don't fear]] the [[PoisonousFriend ruthless Duke Redgrave]]'s retribution. There is no telling how bad this would have gotten without his alliance with the Redgraves protecting him.
* DareToBeBadass: Gives a speech to this effect alongside a DrillSergeantNasty routine, to get his fellow students to fight in a [[DarkestHour dire situation]].
* DeathGlare: He gives these from time to time. When he does it to Princess Hertrude, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she mistakes it for lust]].
* DramaticIrony: At the temple he donates a large amount of money to have his wish come true. Said wish being he hopes for a wife that would love him and not just use him. He says this where Angelica and Olivia are standing by his side and are genuninely in love with him.
* TheDreaded: By volume 6, Leon's reputation starts to proceed him.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: According to Clarice in the fourth volume, Leon has earned some male admirers like this from his heroics.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Most of his LoveInterests are some form of blonde.
* ExhaustedEyeBags: The manga tends to portray him with this in most scenes. As visual indication of how hard he works that cannot be regularly seen in a Light/Web Novel.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: His dream of living a quiet, easy life in obscurity.
* FamedInStory: Before even entering the academy, became the Kingdom's most accomplished adventurer in decades. His own actions, turn this fame, into widespread hatred, and eventually, [[TheDreaded being feared as the Fiendish Knight]].
** Abroad, in Alzer, Leon quickly earns fame and admiration in the eyes of the commoners there, who greatly appreciate their SmugSuper nobles being humiliated.
* {{Farmboy}}: Due to his parents being poor nobles. He still helps out with it over the school break even after finding Luxion and clearing all of their debts.
* FixingTheGame: Loves doing this, betting on himself before cheating to win, and cheating at cards. Since Luxion can produce infinite wealth, he doesn’t really need to do it.
* TheGlovesComeOff: When Luxion tells him that it’s inefficient to fight while [[ThouShaltNotKill making sure not to kill]], Leon admits that if things get bad enough, he will need to kill, but wants to avoid it up until then. [[spoiler: When the Principality invades a second time and attack the capitol after destroying Holfort’s main fleet, with the goal of [[ApocalypseHow sinking the continent]], Leon snipes dead a Principality officer who mocks him for not killing, proceeding to kill hundreds more with Arroganz and indirectly via [[CoolAirship Partner]]. This causes him to repeatedly StressVomit.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: With Leon, it’s [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold positively jerkass.]] It’s pretty much his standard procedure with opponents to BreakThemByTalking, and if really mad, KickThemWhileTheyAreDown.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Luxion reads that Leon is a hybrid New Human/Old Human with some of his DNA including the Old Human Japanese Genome. It's for this reason that Luxion didn't just self-destruct when Leon tried to claim it. It's currently unknown ''why'' this is the case.
* HasAType: His having this is a RunningGag throughout the franchise.
* HateAtFirstSight: Downplayed as Leon admits he felt annoyed the moment he saw Marie but he didn't hate her but admits the feeling is complex.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: After Leon's match with the princes, the vast majority of the school hates him for winning because of the bet they place in favor of the princes. Some students state they lost all their money as a result. Due to his various achievements various nobles grow nervous of Leon's power [[spoiler:to the point of teaming up with the Principality to kill him.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Leon will always think of himself as mob no matter the achievements he gets. Thinking that all his victories are due to Luxion despite the fact it was his determination, bravery and quick thinking that has saved the day over and over again.
* HollywoodSilencer: Used when he's doing stealth operations. Potentially a JustifiedTrope, seeing as how they're made by Luxion, whose technology is far more advanced than modern day earth.
* HypocrisyNod: Sometimes makes these when called out, when not responding with SarcasmMode.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Claims to hate gambling, [[DistinctionWithoutADifference but love winning]].
** As Luxion points out after he talks to Chris, despite him repeatedly criticizing the five princes for their inferiority complexes, he [[HeroicSelfDeprecation has one himself]].
** The eighth volume has a major example. [[spoiler: Calling his father the worst after hearing he's been accused of having an affair, despite Leon's own interactions with Louise, which include kissing.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: In the fourth volume, when he criticizes Jean and Narcisse in his InnerMonologue, thinking they're ObliviousToLove.
-->'''"This insensitive fellow--good grief, I wouldn’t care even if [[{{Foreshadowing}} something irreversible happened]] because you didn’t notice the other person’s feelings even after they were appealing so blatantly like that toward you."''
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Because Arrogantz and Luxion are so powerful, Leon often does this to look more like an underdog, much to Luxion's vocal annoyance. Eventually takes it to the point of WoundedGazelleGambit.
* InsecureLoveInterest: The reason Leon never made a move on Olivia or Angelica was because he feels that he isn't worthy to be the partner of the future Saintess or a Duke's daughter [[spoiler:even after getting confessed to.]] [[spoiler:The girls actually notice this so they decide to corner him about it.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Generally gruff and disrespectful. When Leon is with anyone he doesn't like, he's usually taunting, dressing down, or insulting them, [[{{Troll}} enjoying]] their suffering. But he'll always protect his friends and family, and acts on his conscience as much as he might [[BrilliantButLazy complain about having to do so.]]
-->'''Clarice''': ''"You're actually a pretty nice guy underneath that twisted facade, aren't you?"''
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Leon ''hates'' being a noble with every fiber of his being and just wanted to blend into the crowd during his time in Holfort Academy.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Ends up using one for all his sword fights, due to Luxion making one for him as a SecretTest to see if he was really Japanese.
* KickedUpstairs: This is what happens to Leon near the end of volume 3. [[spoiler:Leon asked for his reward to be demoted and surrendering his land as exchange for the Kingdom's guarantee of helping the 5 idiots and Marie. The king decided at the last minute to "reward" him instead by promoting him to Count so he will have to deal with the responsibilities that come with the rank as revenge for upstaging him during the war.]] Leon was ''not'' amused.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Has a habit of trampling defeated enemies, such as the leader of the SkyPirates who attacked Partner, or [[spoiler: the [[TraumaticHaircut formerly-mustachioed]] Earl Garrett, after Leon first defeats the Principality of Fanoss.]]
* LaughingMad: When Leon rampages, after having been bullied by several students, and getting justification to retaliate after Angie [[SayingTooMuch lets slip]] that [[KingIncognito the Queen]] is in danger.
* LongGame: Leon's TranquilFury takes this form, as vouched for [[spoiler: by Marie, citing her past-life memories of Leon getting revenge on some bullies. This makes her deathly terrified of Leon and willing to do anything (even ColdBloodedTorture) to avoid a fate like Pierre in his duel. Fortunately for her, he was playing up his anger at her [[{{Troll}} for fun]].]]
* MartialPacifist: Leon makes it clear he doesn't want to kill to Luxion's annoyance but he does state in a war the circumstances would be different. [[spoiler:When the Principality invades in volume 3, Leon was forced to kill a lot of them to protect the Kingdom.]]
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: Part of the reason Leon was so brutal towards the dateable cast in his match against them at volume one was to teach them their flaws since they will be the one running the kingdom in the future.
* MistakenForGay: What kicks off the story. Thanks to his little sister, his mom in the previous world thought that some Yaoi that was actually his sister's belonged to him, thus being forced to leave. It's why he played the otome game he would reincarnate in; To get his sister to tell the truth to their mother.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: DiscussedTrope, in Leon's [[WeCanRuleTogether discussions with]] Princess Hertrude. He hates the Kingdom because of its treatment of men and poor nobles. But it's also where all of his friends and loved ones live.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Leon tends to think like this when it comes to Marie, and to a lesser extent, Noelle.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In volume 2 after Olivia breaks down wondering if Leon only sees her as a pet, Leon realizes that he's been seeing Olivia as the protagonist and might have been ignoring who she really is as a result. He starts distancing himself from Olivia thinking he's been babying her as a result.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: During the first day of school, he immediately felt something off and looked directly at Marie, noting for some reason he felt an anger well up in him when he saw her.
* NotSoDifferent: He realized after Olivia claims he sees her as only a pet, that he has been usurping all of the events Olivia was supposed to have accomplished herself. He realizes this, in a way, makes him no different than Marie.
* ObliviousToLove: The {{Irony}} for someone who hates dense protagonists in games is that he's also one. Leon won't realize that a girl likes him unless someone spells it out for him [[spoiler:like what Olivia and Angie did. Marie notes that Leon was just as bad in their previous lives.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: A slight case due to being a reincarnator, he was at least in his early to mid-20s before being reborn.
* ThePerilsOfBeingTheBest: Part of his fear of being promoted, mainly of mundane FeudalOverlord concerns, such as having to pay more to the crown, raise troops for them, and be involved in political factions and clashes.
* PhraseCatcher: Being called ''the worst''. Also, people responding to his actions with ThisIsUnforgivable.
** Being suspected of being a sis-con, which given the various circumstances, one could hardly blame his accusers.
* ThePlan: Frequently comes up with these, leaving the readers in the dark about them until after they’ve played out. [[RuleOfDrama Of course]], things don’t always follow his designs.
* PragmaticHero: He enjoys using unfair advantages, and [[BreakTheHaughty breaking the spirits]] of those who dislike him is typically as much a goal of his plans as helping others. His main scruple is avoiding killing, but he realizes [[GodzillaThreshold that’s not always an option.]]
* RankUp: Gets his noble peerage raised repeatedly, for one or more of a dozen different reasons, much to his chagrin. For a while he [[SpringtimeForHitler makes plans]] to be demoted, before giving up on the idea.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Leon is a big fan of the BreakThemByTalking tactic, but Prince Julius in particular gets a more scathing breakdown than any of the other nobles during their duel.
* RedBaron: After his victory over a fleet of the [[spoiler:Principality]] in volume 2, the [[spoiler:Principality]] calls him the Fiendish Knight.
* RefugeInAudacity: Leon proposes to Queen Mylene as a joke, but then the more he started thinking about it, he realized that [[HasAType Mylene is actually his ideal type of woman]] so he proposes again a second time, this time dead serious.
* ReluctantRuler: [[spoiler: When Leon returns to Holfort from the Alzer Republic, he finds that Roland has [[KickedUpstairs promoted]] him to Marquis, prompting a brief scuffle. Then, Roland reveals that he tricked [[VoluntaryVassal his new subordinate]] Alberg into giving Leon territory, with Marie, and the princes besides Julius, arranged to be Leon's landed vassals there.]]
* RoyalFavorite: Leon gains a reputation as 'the queen's favorite', between his several promotions at a young age, and his many private conversations with Queen Mylene, it's not hard to see why.
-->'''Nicks''': ''"Why are you close with the queen like that? ──I don’t think it’s possible but, you aren’t laying your hand on her right? Stop it. Really stop it!”''
** In the Alzer Republic, its ruler Alberg Rault shows favoritism to Leon enough to crank up the resentment of his rival Great Houses since Leon’s an interfering foreigner. Alberg even gives Leon free reign of his mansion, and [[ShipperOnDeck his daughter’s bed-chamber.]] [[spoiler: This is due to Leon being an IdenticalStranger to his dead son, and said noble resentment boils over into a plot to replace the Raults with Barriérre as chairman.]]
* RuleOfThree: Leon states that he’s heard a saying that there will be at least two people in the world who [[IdenticalStranger look just like yourself]]. It turns out to be correct: [[spoiler: Leon Sara Rault, and [[IdenticalGrandson Liia Bartfort]], both seemingly having the same personality as well.]]
* {{Sadist}}: Leon is a downplayed example, driving his CycleOfRevenge with most of the Royal Academy. He particularly enjoys Marie’s suffering. He doesn't like to kill at least.
* SarcasmMode: Tends to get into this when talking about himself, like saying that he never lies, or that he’s a shy, pure, and kind boy.
* SeriousBusiness: Tea, and tea parties.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Leon's preferred gun for fighting on foot, is a shotgun he bought off an air-ship crewman, whose pellets he [[TrickBullet enhances with magic.]]
* SlasherSmile: Often makes these, described as his eyes and mouth making a crescent shape.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His decision to intervene with Angie's challenge towards Marie and defeating all five of her suitors winds up derailing several key events and plots, as otherwise events would have continued as they would in the game should Olivia had done so instead. Some of the changes are for the better and some for the worse.
** Likewise, his presence alone throws a huge one in Volume 4 when it comes to [[spoiler:Leila's plans for Noelle, as he winds up becoming not only her LoveInterest, but also the Guardian of the Sacred Tree sapling.]]
** Him obtaining Luxion turns out to be best for everyone, based on the Marie Route WhatIf: [[spoiler: If Luxion and the Saintess Anne meet, it would cause an EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt due to their interest aligning: Total Destruction of the Holfort Kingdom and annihilation of the New Humans.]]
* SpringtimeForHitler: A RunningGag. His attempts to get demoted inevitably end up getting him promoted.
* StressVomit: Killing people tends to make him do this.
* StrongButUnskilled: Leon is the first to admit he's not particularly skilled in combat due to Luxion's massive technological edge, he borderline untouchable. [[spoiler:The Black Knight is the first opponent where Leon struggles with despite having the Arroganz. And once the Black Knight gets his own Lost Technology armor, Leon is barely able to survive before Luxion is able to upgrade the Arroganz.]]
* TallPoppySyndrome: Gets hit hard by this in the third volume, where after repeatedly failing to stay under the radar and pin his successes on the five princes, his number of political enemies reaches critical mass.
* UsefulNotes/TeaAndTeaCulture: Quickly develops a passion for this, and considers it his only hobby.
* TeamDad: Eventually starts to look like this, especially with regard to Kyle. The five princes also end up making requests to him as if he was their father. Leon is mentally twice their age.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: Eventually starts to have insomnia and other post-traumatic stress symptoms from having killed someone he knew.
* TheTeetotaler: Which seems to be based on left over values from his previous life in Japan.
* ThickerThanWater: One of the main things keeping Leon from accepting Hertrude's WeCanRuleTogether offers is his connection to (the good part) of his second-life family.
* ThinkNothingOfIt: Leon has a sense of responsibility and familial piety that lets him justify his good deeds as merely doing what’s expected of him, and combined with his low self-esteem and thinking he could only succeed due to Luxion or others aid, leads to this.
* TranquilFury: Leon has a tendency of holding back, to avoid attracting too much attention or having to work too much. He breaks past this when angry enough, to terrifying results. Leon is at his most cold and calculating when like this.
* TraumaButton: Leaving Holfort Kingdom reveals a major one: He grew so used to being [[RichBitch treated like a servant and abused]] by noblewomen for eleven plus years, that seeing women be regularly caring and helpful like in his old world, makes him cry spontaneously.
* TrickBullet: His preferred weapons are guns that shoot rubber bullets or shells, magically enhanced to put enemies to sleep, or [[ElementalPowers elemental effects]].
* {{Troll}}: Leon has made it clear he absolutely enjoys messing with the people he hates or the people that hate him. That's his reasoning for why he wanted to win the air-bike competition in the second volume; as Luxion stated he really doesn't need the money but he wants to make the students that hate him sad that he won again.
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Leon loves doing this, especially to the five princes who drove him to so much frustration playing the dating sim, and talked down to him so much before.
* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler:After he learned that Marie made Angelica and Olivia bow for her help, he tried to behead her even after learning that she's his past life's sister.]]
* UnwantedHarem: After the events of volume 2 and his further promotion plenty of noblewomen want his hand in marriage, Leon is completely annoyed not only how shallow they are but they're still arrogant in their demands. [[spoiler:Even the two women he does love, he's uncomfortable by their affections as he thinks they're too good for him.]]
* WallPinOfLove: Leon does this while pleading for Queen Mylene’s help, making [[LuminescentBlush her blush]] and give in, before asking him to step back.
* WeDoTheImpossible: ExploitedTrope. Leon uses his victories against the odds, as a key element of persuasion to get ReluctantWarrior allies to fight alongside him. Later on, Angie actually repeats the tactic, invoking Leon to [[RousingSpeech rouse]] their ally’s morale.
* WhatDoesHeSeeInHer: How Leon reacts when hearing the dateable cast gushing about Marie.
* {{Whoring}}: InUniverse, Luxion accuses Leon of doing this by avoiding challenging the Academy’s dungeon more than necessary until he got an AmplifierArtifact charm, after witnessing him donate a huge amount of cash to a shrine that gave benefits in the game. Leon denies doing so, but then later admits to [[{{Munchkin}} only learning]] the most useful magical spells, such as his [[TrickBullet bullet enhancing]] magic.
* WhoWritesThisCrap: About the otome game’s setting that’s become his reality being too dark and intricate for its genre. His biggest gripe however, is with the [[NintendoHard combat difficulty.]]
* YankTheDogsChain: Leon [[KickedUpstairs getting promoted]], tends to hit him like this.
* ZeroApprovalGambit: Leon wanted to be expelled from the Academy to free himself from marriage hunting [[IJustWantToBeNormal and other noble responsibilities]]. [[SpringtimeForHitler Unfortunately for him]], in trying to prevent his family from suffering retribution by securing the help of an already aggrieved against the crown Duke Redgrave, he is instead knighted and promoted, in part to placate said Duke. In the aftermath, Leon revels in making those that [[HeroWithBadPublicity hate him]] suffer more, which [[CycleOfRevenge only makes the hatred grow]].

-->''"I will respect my master who has obtained my ability and wholeheartedly decides to be a shut-in. No ambitions, and selfish. An admirable human."''
An A.I. space ship that Leon found while searching for the game’s cheat item out of desperation. Luxion is an ancient being from a long dead civilization of seemingly future earth, from which he holds many grudges, only trusting Leon because he knows a language and has some DNA from said dead civilization. Luxion is snarky and likes to tease, while being zealously protective of Leon, following him around with a spherical drone while keeping his main body out of sight to hide the true extent of his power.

* BeamSpam: His main body can fire HomingLasers like this.
* BerserkButton: Really doesn't like it when other people disparage his creations.
** [[LivingWeapon Still living war machines]], left over from the New Human factions he once fought, make him spout the AI equivalent of {{Angrish}}.
* BribingYourWayToVictory: Luxion was a paid item in the original otome game.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: How Luxion reacts when [[spoiler:Ideal is surprised that his [[VitriolicBestBuds fierce argument]] with Leon didn’t mean he was willing to betray him.]]
* ChameleonCamouflage: Uses this all the time, especially when gathering information. Due to this, it's the middle of the second volume before he first converses with anyone besides Leon.
* ChekhovsSkill: Luxion shows he is able to adjust his sphere’s trajectory mid-air when Leon throws it at Loic, since it would have missed otherwise. Later, [[spoiler: Luxion does the same thing when Leon is dueling Pierre who’s wielding the stolen Arroganz, diverting Pierre’s attacks away from an unarmored Leon.]]
* CombatPragmatist: To the point Luxion finds the word coward as praise as it sees no value in giving the enemy any advantage at all.
* CoolStarship: His main body.
* CutenessProximity: When people besides Leon eventually see Luxion's drone that follows him around, they tend to react like this.
* DisproportionateRetribution. An Alzer patrol officer insults Luxion's creation, the CoolAirship Einhorn, during an inspection. Luxion later [[spoiler: shoots down the officer's patrol ship, shoots his lifeboat, and terrorizes him by bombarding the area he landed.]]
* DoAnythingRobot: More precisely, a ''make anything'' robot. This is because he has technology advanced enough to [[{{Transmutation}} transmute rocks into gold]] if he wants.
* DoesNotLikeMagic: Describes deep-seated programming similar to instinct making him feel this way. As well, there is the fact that his creators and their entire civilization were wiped out by magic users.
* DopeSlap: Luxion sometimes uses electric shocks on Leon as a form of this.
* DroneDeployer: His main body, the [[CoolAirship Cool Airships]] he creates, and Arroganz, are each equipped with AttackDrone, and in the case of the former two, robotic 'crew'. As well, Luxion manages a network of SurveillanceDrone, which the sphere that follows Leon around is a variant of.
* FakeDefector: [[spoiler:When Pierre wins the Einhorn as a result of a bet, Luxion claims as a result he is also loyal to Pierre. In truth, this is so Luxion can dig deeper into the affairs of the Alzer Republic and be in a position to undermine Pierre.]]
* TheGadfly: Best shown when he equips Leon's mech with a shovel during his 5-on-1 with the dateable cast, claiming that it was "[[ExactWords Leon's special weapon]]."
* GenreSavvy: When they first meet as enemies, Luxion has a shield that counteracts Leon's magic rifle. When Leon says that its unfair, Luxion counteract [[CombatPragmatist that it needs to always be prepared]].
* {{Hologram}}: Can casually make these, as easily as a modern device can display 2d images.
* KillAllHumans: Luxion hates all "New Humans" due to being made by the former humans and sees no issue with killing them all. The only reason Leon isn't a target is because Leon somehow has some "Old Human" DNA mixed in.
* MaliciousSlander: After Leon throws his drone at Loic, he holds a grudge and gets revenge by exagerrating Leon's "sins" to others.
* MoralityChain: His repeated requests to go on a genocidal rampage suggest Leon being his master is what keeps him a BenevolentAI. Although, Luxion clearly shows consideration for New Humans besides Leon, and goes against his wishes for their benefit multiple times.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Considering that most of the problems are caused by the "[[WitchSpecies New Humans]]", Luxion often suggests wiping them out them as soon as possible.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: In the [[FortuneTeller elven fortuneteller's]] predictions, he's called the ''Demon Lord''.
* PhlebotinumBreakdown: Distance and certain interference can put Leon out of contact with him.
* TheRemnant: Of Old Humanity. With his ''instinct'' programming him to violently hate all of the remnants of the civilization that destroyed said {{Precursors}}.
* RoboticPsychopath: DownplayedTrope, of the HeroicComedicSociopath variety. He's mostly [[MurderIsTheBestSolution all talk]]. The [[JustifiedTrope justification]] for this, is his FantasticRacism against the [[WitchSpecies New Humans]] who destroyed his creator's civilization, with all named characters being their descendants.
* SapientShip: That was trapped in a hangar by his programming for millenia, with civilizations rising and falling, until Leon became his master.
* ServileSnarker: Just because Luxion works for a New Human, doesn't mean he won't find excuses to talk smack to them.
* ShinyLookingSpaceships: His ship’s design is sleek and curvy.
* ShipperOnDeck: Puts Leon through a somewhat sadistic BatmanGambit, to get [[spoiler: Angelica and Olivia to accept Noelle, and Leon, being together.]]
* SmokeOut: Uses smoke to blend his main body in with the clouds when lending fire support.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: Who ''thinks'' he's an OnlySaneMan, but he's too much of a RoboticPsychopath for that.
* SoullessShell: The drone he uses to talk to Leon becomes a glorified Siri when it [[PhlebotinumBreakdown loses contact]] with his main body.
* StarterVillain: Shares this title with the Zola, who wanted to buy Leon, as Leon sought to use Luxion to escape that fate.
* SufficientlyAdvancedTechnology: His capabilities are often mistaken for magic, which he [[MagicVersusScience hates and corrects vigorously.]]
* SuperSenses: Allowing him to read sealed letters, medically scan others from a distance, and determine the authenticity of items magical and mundane.
* ToughLove: Tries to get Leon to improve himself with this, mocking him for his flaws. Although he clearly [[TheGadfly enjoys messing with]] Leon for its own sake as well.
* {{Transmutation}}: Him being equipped with SufficientlyAdvancedTechnology to do this is in part what makes him so powerful. He has it because he was designed to transport WarRefugees offworld.
* TheUnmasking: [[spoiler: In Volume 7, he finally reveals his main body to the world to heal a critically injured Noelle, and [[TheGlovesComeOff use]] his WaveMotionGun against the second game’s FinalBoss.]]
* VideoPhone: His drones can serve as these, much to [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny the distraction]] of the five princes.
* VitriolicBestBuds: While they have their serious fights, this is ultimately his relationship to Leon.
* VolleyingInsults: A common occurrence with Leon.
* WaveMotionGun: How his main body doles out enough firepower to sink floating islands. It was considered state-of-the-art in his time.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He puts Leon, Olivia, and Angelica through quite a bit of suffering [[spoiler: by arranging it [[NotWhatItLooksLike to look like]] the two caught Leon cheating, both to secure the [[WorldTree Sacred Tree sapling]] as a sample, and [[ShipperOnDeck to resolve]] Leon and Noelle's hidden feelings for one another.]] Not that he doesn't get sadistic enjoyment out of it, after Leon [[FastballSpecial threw his drone at Loic]].
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Leon and some others express this about his dynamic with Leon in the Alzer Republic.

[[caption-width-right:350:The Destined Saint]]
-->''“Perhaps you love Marie, your Highness the crown prince. But, but! Angelica loves you! After all, she has been watching this fight while looking pained the entire time! It may have been hard for her, but she kept watching with a sad expression while not looking away! You can’t say that isn’t love!”''
The ''otome game's'' protagonist. An awkward and naive bookworm, who excels in intellect and magic, but struggles with the harsh realities surrounding her. Over the course of the game, she was supposed to rise from poverty to sainthood, and protect the kingdom from its final boss with the help of ThePowerOfLove and her LoveInterests. However, Marie took all of that from her, [[HostileShowTakeover becoming the protagonist]] in her stead. This leads to Leon helping Olivia out of pity, and with his help, she befriends instead of clashing with the game’s villainess, Angelica.
-> For Olivia's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
----
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Has shades of this. She is quite interested in the history of the world and how dungeons and stuff works.
* AffectionateNickname: ''Livia''.
* AllLovingHero: Starts off like this, while constantly being bombarded with harsh reality, and tending to blame herself instead of others. Despite undergoing a BreakTheCutie arc, and showing she doesn’t like the five, Livia puts her nature as this to use [[spoiler: using the AmplifierArtifact on the Royal Airship to stop the war,]] afterwards continuing to be a counterpoint to Angie’s more ruthless instincts.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Marie. [[spoiler:They possess the same aptitude to be Saints, but Olivia is superior to her in every way including her CompellingVoice.]]
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:She gives one to Leon during their heated exchange after he rescues her from being thrown off the ship in the second volume.]]
* TheArchmage: Seems to be evolving into this in the later volumes, as a result of uninterrupted study and a desire to hold her own alongside Leon and Angie, able to take others into the SpiritWorld.
* BadassBookworm: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], in that her main area of study is magic, which she has a natural born talent for (being descended from the first saintess). She only [[LetsGetDangerous starts to show off her skill]], once Leon and Angie are both in serious danger.
* BarrierWarrior: She manages to protect an airship by projecting a barrier, though doing so exhausts her. It stems from being the [[SecretLegacy saint's descendant]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She falls for Leon because he helped her when everyone else either bullied her or ignored her.
* BreakTheCutie: Starting in Volume 2, when the words of [[TheBully Earl Olfrey's daughter]] convince her that Leon and Angie see her as nothing but a pet and that she's unable to return their favors. Hearing Brad, supposedly the most powerful magician in the Academy, compare [[LikeAGodToMe her magic to a goddess]], gives her back some self-confidence, and she resolves to use her magical talent to [[LetsGetDangerous prove her worth in battle alongside Leon and Angie.]]
* BullyMagnet: Due to being a commoner surrounded by RoyalBrat nobles, and associated with Leon (the [[HeroWithBadPublicity most hated person in the Academy]]).
* CommutingOnABus: For the fourth and fifth volumes, to make way for the second game’s cast.
* CompellingVoice: She has a supernatural ability to get people to listen to her and go along with her desires. It even works on machines and AI. [[spoiler:It is this ability combined with the Royal Ship, Weiss, that the FinalBoss can been be defeated in the game, as she can pretty much cause every single combatant on the battlefield to stop fighting. Leon and Luxion note that had the Royal Ship not been destroyed in the final battle she'd very likely be assassinated because of how dangerous the combination is.]]
* CuteBookworm: The original cute protagonist who is also quite the nerd too with Leon realizing she's smart enough to point out the mistakes of the textbooks.
* TheCutie: Very charming and sweet, but also acting like [[SpoiledSweet coddled and naive child]]. This charm combined with her general innocence, especially contrasting to the [[RoyalBrat brattiness and meanness]] of the noble girls filling the Kingdom, is what makes her attract Leon, and originally the capture targets (this is [[BitchInSheepsClothing imitated by Marie]] when interacting with them).
* DiskOneNuke: Due to her having a much easier time studying, together with Leon, instead of having the princes take up all of her time, she’s able to use [[OneWomanArmy end-game]] magic [[TookALevelInBadass years before]] she could in the game.
* DontYouDarePityMe: After Earl Olfrey's daughter convinces her that Leon and Angelica only see her as a pet, and she has a HeroicBSOD, this is the gist of what she tells Leon.
* ElementalMotifs: Blue eyes for water. Calm, gentle and healing but can also be destructive and dangerous when needed as shown when she [[LetsGetDangerous gets dangerous]] against the Principality.
* FishOutOfWater: A commoner originally and is thus quite lost on noble social etiquette until Leon's sister gives her a few tips.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Blonde, with her innocence being a [[WideEyedIdealist massive contrast to her environment]].
* HealingHands: She's able to heal others, which is a rare ability that very few people have in the world. It stems from her SecretLegacy of being descendant from The first Saintess. Olivia is essentially a magic prodigy, but there are limits as to what she can heal.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She starts to fall into this in the second volume as she wonders if she can truly be equals with Leon and Angelica.
* HeterosexualLifePartner: Olivia is extremely close with Angelica as her first friend of the same gender. [[spoiler:They get so close that they're willing to share Leon. It also goes to the point that they are attracted not only to Leon but also to each other that in order to comfort themselves due to Leon's absence is by kissing and making out .]]
* HiddenDepths: While Olivia is a very sweet girl, she makes it clear that she doesn't like everyone. Pointing out she doesn't think highly of the dateable cast due to their personality flaws to Leon's delight.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Olivia cannot see herself as worthy for Leon because she is a commoner, thinking that Angelica is a better match than her.
* LetsGetDangerous: Livia spends the early part of the series as TheCutie and against confrontation, but after being [[BreakTheCutie broken down by bullying]], and then [[LikeAGodToMe compared to a goddess]] for her magical talents, she resolves to use them to prove her worth. When seeing Angie and Leon both captured, with Leon about to be beaten to death, Livia decides to fight for the first time. Soon after, she shows off [[OneManArmy the power]] that all of her [[BadassBookworm time studying ahead]] of her peers has [[TookALevelInBadass granted her]].
* MagicMissileStorm: To say she can make a ''storm'' of them is no exaggeration.
* MindRape: [[spoiler:Mixing her compelling voice with the Royal Ship, Weiss essentially forces everyone to feel Olivia's feelings. Leon, Bandel and Hertrude outright state how disturbing this power is as override their emotions and free will.]]
* TheMistress: [[spoiler: Officially engaged to Leon to become this; since it's Angie that's engaged as the [[TopWife Legal Wife]], she [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship doesn't mind]].]]
* MoralityChain: Her friendship helps calm Angie's [[HairTriggerTemper fiery temper]], and Olivia helped talk her out of [[spoiler: trying to forcibly take Noelle to the Kingdom, to secure the benifits of the Sacred Tree sapling.]]
* NiceGirl: One of the reasons Leon falls for her is how genuinely nice she is. Marie, on the other hand, dislikes this aspect of her.
* TheNicknamer: Dubs Luxion ''Lux'', and Claire ''Are-chan''.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Can behave just as foolishly as the Five Idiots, as displayed when [[spoiler: [[TeamworkSeduction she and Angelica]] make an EpicFail of an attempt at seducing Leon.]] Only to have all the flaws in the plan pointed out by [[OnlySaneMan Noelle]], who didn't even know that this was their [[CallBack second attempt]] at the same plan.
* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: Once she [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]], her magic can turn the tide of entire battles, [[spoiler: ultimately being what wins the war against the Principality, when it's [[AmplifierArtifact amplified by]] the Royal Airship.]]
* OnlyOneName: Due to being a commoner. Likely inspired by the fact that only nobles had a family names in pre-industrial Japan.
* PennyAmongDiamonds: She is the lone commoner attending an academy that is otherwise full of children of noble backgrounds. [[spoiler:Her being allowed to attend the academy is in fact the first step of a long term plan of the Holfort Kingdom to educate the common people and dilute the power of the nobility. As such in her second year Olivia is dealing with newcomer commoner students.]]
* PersonalityPowers: Kind and naive, and an expert in WhiteMagic.
* SatelliteCharacter: Arguably falls into this after the third volume, almost never having a scene away from Angelica.
* ScholarshipStudent: She is one officially.
* SpoiledSweet: Downplayed, of the naive and coddled variety. She mostly just acts this way with Leon, who indulges her (although, she did slap the Crown Prince in the otome game and Marie Route). It's part of her overall [[TheCutie childish innocence]].
* SuddenlySuitableSuitor: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. In the otome game plot, her being revealed as a descendant of the original saintess, was to take her from being a commoner it'd be a scandal to marry, into being of ''higher'' status than her five suitors, equated to a demigod. The problem is that Leon, as a status conscious noble much lower than the five, knows this, and combined with his [[HeroicSelfDeprecation inferiority complex]], there are multiple hurdles between Livia and him.
* SupernaturalFloatingHair: When preparing to travel into the SpiritWorld.
* TheTeetotaler: Which saves her from [[spoiler: [[SlippingAMickey being roofied]] by Aaron with the intention [[AttemptedRape of raping her]]. Not that Claire would have let it go that far.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Leon notes when [[LetsGetDangerous she gets serious about fighting]] in volume 2, that she is much more powerful magic-wise than she should have been at that point in the game. Spending her time with Leon, allowed her to study her passion, magic, to her hearts content. Which eventually, leads to her seeming like TheArchmage.
* TheUnsmile: When really jealous, Olivia does a very unnerving smile.
* WeightWoe: Olivia is a bit self-conscious of her appearance and can be envious of the other students due to their figures.
* WideEyedIdealist: The fact she's dependent on the good will of nobles to survive at the Academy, is a reality that [[BreakTheCutie comes crashing down]] on her. Despite that, she sticks to her principles after recovering from a HeroicBSOD, and helps rein in Angie's temper.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: After having a fight with Leon, accusing him of just seeing her as a pet. He starts calling her Olivia rather than Livia. She takes that as a sign he now hates her, where he feels like he has been doing more harm in helping her and is trying to distance himself from her.
* AndYourLittleDogToo: Since she's from a commoner family, and surrounded by nobles, bullies have a tendancy of threatening her family and/or hometown in order to coerce her.

[[caption-width-right:350:Lady of Red]]
-->''"There have been a lot of fools making light of me recently. Perhaps I should make an example of [[TheBully you]]. The only reason why you're still in this Academy, is because of me and Leon, and the little sympathy that we still had for you. But you, have laid a finger on Livia. This is the end of the line for you."''
Originally the antagonist of the ''otome game''. She was raised from birth to be a suitable queen, being betrothed to the crown prince Julius, and expected the same standards of him as she does of herself. This would put Angelica into conflict with the game’s protagonist, a position [[HostileShowTakeover stolen by Marie]], trying to keep her fiance from cheating on her. Angelica was destined for disaster from her own hotheadedness, until Leon volunteered as her duel champion, saving her, and sparking her friendship with him and Olivia.
->For Angelica's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
----
* AffectionateNickname: ''Angie''.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She becomes good friends with Olivia due to Olivia consoling her after her engagement with Julius fell through.
* BerserkButton: As the unnamed earl's daughter can attest, do ''not'' threaten Olivia or Leon when Angelica is around, you will be lucky to just get away with a [[NasalTrauma broken nose]].
* CatFight: Angelica has a tendency of arguing with Clarice and Deirdre over whose family Leon should marry into.
* ChildhoodFriends: SubvertedTrope: Angie had friends from childhood come to the Academy with her as followers, which didn't keep them [[FairWeatherFriend from abandoning her when she challenged Marie.]] A small sidestory also shows her female followers kept her from visiting food stands and other activities, furthering the gap between her and Julius. [[spoiler: Some of these female childhood friends try to [[FrameUp frame her as being a Principality spy]]. Vince and Gilbert seem to [[AmbiguousSituation have something brutal in mind]] for them, after they were caught and exposed by Leon.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: SubvertedTrope. Prince Julius, is simultaneously running away from all his duties and responsibilities as heir, and essentially cheating on her with a woman who has four other boyfriends. From Leon's point of view, Angelica is the victim, not Marie.
** Subverted yet again later, when Angelica actually [[spoiler: tells Leon to get engaged to Noelle instead of herself, for the strategic interests of their country.]]
* CommonalityConnection: Despite [[NobleBigot her classism]] making her cold to Olivia at first, the two bond over their mutual admiration for Leon, who she knows from his fame as an adventurer.
* CommutingOnABus: For the fourth and fifth volumes, to make way for the second game’s cast.
* DeathGlare: Angelica specializes in giving these. Deirdre finds it [[PowerfulPeopleAreSubs enjoyable]].
* DesignatedVillain: Her original role in the game, as the one who would normally oppose Olivia for undermining her engagement to Julius. Leon later [[InvokedTrope acknowledges that from an outside perspective]], anyone would have gotten angry if put in her shoes. Likewise, many of the things she's accused of are not directly her fault. The people who harassed Marie and Olivia did so without her permission, but used her as an excuse when confronted by others. Since some of those people were followers of hers as well, she had to take responsibility.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: A flaw caused by her hotheadedness. Exemplified by challenging Marie to a duel without thinking who would accept on her behalf which was all of the capture targets. In the original game it results in her being banished and she only avoids it by Leon's interference.
** In the second volume, [[spoiler: offering herself up as a hostage impulsively turns out to be this, since the Principality decides to just execute the other students instead of letting them go like she wanted.]]
* DisposableFiance: DeconstructedTrope. Angelica's role in the Otome Game is a classic example. Leon [[DiscussedTrope points out]], how she is a DesignatedVillain and how the game had ProtagonistCenteredMorality. She never actually ordered Marie bullied like she was accused of, and is worried about the effect Julius rash actions will have on his future rule, which he [[RebelPrince is indifferent to]].
* EarAche: Grabs Leon by his ears when sufficently angry with him.
* ElementalMotifs: Red eyes for fire. Her powers revolved on using fire magic, her fondness for the color red, passionate and warm but also representing jealousy, destructiveness, and rage (the latter shown more in the Marie Route).
* EvilLaugh: After Leon easily wins his first match, she lets one out when realizing [[ThePlan Leon's plan]] is to take all the student's money by betting on himself.
* FallenPrincess: She fits quite well, with her fall being her challenging Marie and Julius breaking her engagement, after which she TookALevelInKindness. It's PlayedWith in two ways:
** Angelica's pre-fall habits came back to bite her, when [[TheBully a bully]] drives Olivia and her apart by bringing up the things she'd used to say about commoners, resulting in Angelica [[HeroicSelfDeprecation feeling immensely guilty]], and Olivia feeling like she's nothing more than a pet to her.
** Despite Angelica herself going through the transformation, her noble house still retains a good deal of power. In fact, Angelica's father acts as a sort of PoisonousFriend, crushing the households of those who cross her and her friends.
* FanGirl: She's a subdued one for Leon before getting to know him, thanks to his fame from discovering a floating island and clearing it’s dungeon by himself. This earned her respect in part because her father is an accomplished adventurer, and Leon implying she's weak while dueling Greg adds to her HeroicSelfDeprecation.
* FlawExploitation: Marie plays into her HairTriggerTemper to trigger her duel challenge event more than a year before it was supposed to occur, to get Angelica out of her way. And it would have worked, if not for Leon’s intervention.
* GenreSavvy: She expects Leon to have knowledge that he logically shouldn’t have from everyone else’s perspective. Due to him repeatedly sharing such knowlege he has from the game.
* GreenEyedEpiphany: DownplayedTrope. In a sidestory showing Angie's point of view at their marriage shrine visit, she imagines [[TheMatchmaker playing matchmaker]] to relieve Leon's desperation for a wife, but when she starts imagining other women married to him, it makes her feel bad, to her own surprise.
* HairTriggerTemper: One of Angelica's flaws is her quick temper which nearly lead to Marie disgracing her if not for Leon's actions. She is able to calm down her temper as the series continues.
* HandsOnApproach: Touches Livia wherever she wants, when teaching her horseback riding.
* HeterosexualLifePartner: Angelica is extremely close with Olivia as one of her friends she made herself instead of being forced upon by her family. [[spoiler:They get so close that they're willing to share Leon]].
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: After her relationship with Julius breaks down, she thinks of herself as a evil woman and even calls herself that.
* IfIWantedYouDead: Leon's sister points out that back when she was at her full authority that if she wanted to crush Marie she could have outright had her killed due to her family's connections. Leon recognizes from that she wasn't nearly as bad as she seemed, which influenced his decision to act as her representative.
* IHatePastMe: Deeply regrets her past beliefs on commoners and hates that it caused a rift between her and Olivia.
* InterClassFriendship: As the daughter of a Duke, she is one step below Royalty. Her being friends with a commoner and a baron (Livia and Leon), is unusual, and it’s shown clearly that [[FallenPrincess before her fall]], it’d of never happened.
* LoveHurts: Angelica genuinely loves Julius but is forced to see him openly flirting with Marie throughout volume one before he openly states that he only loves Marie and cannot love her.
* MaidCorps: She brings one from her duke household with her when she stays at Leon’s home, and tells them to stand down to let her share experiences with him and Livia. A good chunk of them consisted of vassal daughters, with a number of Angie’s followers being drawn from them. [[spoiler: This leaves the Duke’s family short on help after [[PoisonousFriend Vince purges]] those vassals whose children double-crossed Angie on the luxury liner.]]
* NobleBigot: A lot nicer than most other nobility but still looks down on commoners with her saying Olivia doesn't belong in the academy when they first meet but is fine with her staying as long as she stays in her corner. She does [[IHatePastMe get better]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: Angelica tries to act polite and civil as a woman of her status but even she gets excited over the idea of finding treasure in a cave.
** Later gives the Five Idiots a run for their money when attempting to [[spoiler: seduce Leon, [[TeamworkSeduction alongside Olivia]].]] Only to have all the flaws in the plan pointed out by [[OnlySaneMan Noelle]], who didn't even know that this was their [[CallBack second attempt]] at the same plan.
* PersonalityPowers: She struggles with a HairTriggerTemper, and uses fire magic.
* PlayingWithFire: She reveals her fire spells in the second volume when protecting Olivia.
* PrimAndProperBun: Fitting with Angelica's original strict personality, her finally LettingHerHairDown signifies that she TookALevelInKindness.
* RousingSpeech: Gives one in the seventh volume, [[InvokedTrope Invoking]] how Leon can seemingly [[WeDoTheImpossible do the impossible]].
* SayingTooMuch: Her accidentily revealing the [[KingIncognito incognito Queen’s]] identity results in Leon going on a rampage, using her defence as justification.
* TheScapegoat: For many of the noble girls bullying Marie out of jealousy of the attention she gets from the princes, saying they were just following Angelica's instructions, which Julius believes.
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:She falls for Leon after getting over Julius.]]
* ShelteredAristocrat: Has never been to a food stand, and Livia has to explain to her what earth-worms are.
* SpoiledSweet: Despite being a the daughter of a duke, Angelica is very reasonable even willing to turn a blind eye to Olivia in volume one.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Feels sorry for some of the defeated villains.
* TookALevelInKindness: Angelica really calms down after befriending Leon and Olivia, unlike how cold she was in the first volume.
* TraumaButton: Due to Marie stealing Julius away, Angelica is very sensitive to the idea she might be cheated on again.
* {{Unishment}}: Her father punishes her for [[spoiler: [[KneelBeforeZod publicky kowtowing]] to Marie to beg for her help, by arranging Angie's marriage to Leon, with Livia to be his mistress.]]
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Leon convinces her of this, that it would at best end in PyrrhicVillainy, and that the best way to get even with Julius is to live happily without him. [[spoiler: In the third volume, Julius is shocked by her smile when talking about Leon, since she had never smiled like that for him.]]
* WomanScorned: Not only hurt but also insulted by Julius displaying his relationship with Marie in front of her. She tries to force them apart though despite Julius' beliefs she never resorts to bullying her.
* YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith: Tells this multiple times to Earl Olfrey's daughter, the first time for having ordered her Exclusive Servants to assault the Queen of Holfort who [[KingIncognito was incognito]], and the second time for underestimating her own and Leon's ability to retaliate against her.

-->''“Hehe, this world really is the best. It’s splendid that there are few dull boys like the ones in my previous world, and that this world rightly recognizes the rights of women.”''
A manipulative fellow reincarnator who serves as TheRival to Leon. Whereas Leon tries to stay out of the way of the ''otome game'' plot as much as possible, Marie decides to take full advantage of her game knowledge to immediately seduce all of the capture targets, usurping Olivia as protagonist. Marie's schemes being at the expense of Olivia and Angelica, as well as Marie's similarity to his past life little sister, earns her Leon's enmity, triggering Leon's first direct intervention in the game plot.
->For Marie's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: The manga adaptation does this moderately to Marie compared to the Light Novels. Additional InnerMonologue lines are given to make her more of a HateSink, such as being excited to receive a slave. Some sympathy earning moments, such as her having to explain to the princes that she cannot afford a dress, are cut as well.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Repeatedly to Leon, which he seems to enjoy making her do.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: [[spoiler: By the end of Volume 3 she has no choice but to admit that Olivia is this to her. She technically meets all the qualifications to be a Saint between HealingHands and having a SecretLegacy, which is why the Holy Relics recognize her. However, both of her ties are objectively weaker than Olivia and she doesn't have the courage nor the CompellingVoice Olivia does, meaning that when it came to facing down the FinalBoss she was ultimately unable to succeed.]]
* AuthorAppeal: Created as part of author Mishima Yomu's ongoing hatred of the [[spoiler: LittleSisterHeroine ]] archetype, best exemplified by Celes in his Sevens series. Marie is written with several traits that otaku commonly dislike in women, and yet to the author's frustration, she's the franchise's most popular character.
* BarrierWarrior: She can project a magical barrier to fend off monsters. Can also make a smaller ones [[BulletDodgesYou to stop bullets]].
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Gets all the capture targets to fall madly in love with her to the point that they give up their inheritance to be with her after Leon defeats them. Which forces her to basically take care of them by herself.
* BigBrotherWorship: Deep, deep, ''[[NeverMyFault deep]]'' down she absolutely idolized her past life brother, so much so that she never really got over her reliance on him even after she died and was reincarnated. [[spoiler: She was even willing to give up the five datable cast, the Holy Relics, and everything else she had to Olivia in exchange for him once she learned he had been reincarnated as Leon.]]
* BigEater: Leon wonders where she fits it all.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Marie starts out spending most of her time impersonating Olivia's personality, to charm and wrap the five dateable cast around her little finger, while her InnerMonologue show her true colors. [[CharacterDevelopment Eventually, Marie develops]] and [[spoiler: drops the facade during a HeroicBSOD, due to nearly being [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]] for being a fake saint, but her grip on the five's hearts is too tight for them to mind. She also TookALevelInKindness, after reconciling with her past-life brother Leon.]]
* BrattyHalfPint: She looks like an adorable child. She's actually an ''[[BitchInSheepsClothing utter bitch]]'' when you hear [[InnerMonologue her thoughts]]. As her WhatIf side story reveals, her body is small because she inadvertently sacrificed her future growth just to tap into her potential for HealingMagic.
* BreakoutCharacter: The author held a poll to determine which character to write a WhatIf side story about, and much to the author's surprise, Marie won overwhelmingly. Thus she became {{Deuteragonist}} of Marie Route.
* BrokenAce: Marie was a Straight-A student in her past life (and is implied to be one in her current life), but her life came crashing down the moment her older brother died, which showed her the bitter reality of how much she had been relying on him.
* BurnTheWitch: [[spoiler: Very nearly meets this fate, after admitting to not being the real saint after she fails to stop the Principality’s second invasion with Frampton's fleet, while the princes were preoccupied rescuing Leon. Leon convinces the crown to rescue her because he needs her magical power.]]
* CatFight: {{Subverted}}. The hair-pulling fights she gets into with Leila are ''not'' pretty.
* CharacterDevelopment: Marie's BitchInSheepsClothing tendencies slowly tones down due to the constant stress of dealing with the five capture targets and PerpetualPoverty, and ''finally'' becomes a pretty likable character [[spoiler: shortly after she and Leon find out about their past life's connection as siblings.]]
* CuteBruiser: Prefers to fight using [[MagicEnhancement magically enhanced]] punches and kicks. Stems from her (second life's) [[HadToBeSharp rough childhood]].
* TheCynic: Being let down by most people over two separate lives made her into this.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Her biggest flaw is she never fully considers her actions and only thinks in short term. Her actions almost [[spoiler: destroy the Kingdom, forcing Leon to save the day despite the fact she technically knows more about the setting due to knowing about the various sequels to the game.]] Albeit, this only happened because she was LockedOutOfTheLoop.
* DomesticAbuse: The victim of it in her previous life. Her boyfriend at the time got violent with her and it directly resulted in her death. She's also able to recognize other victims of it.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: After two of her ReverseHarem become virtually nudists, this keeps her from too seriously [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn cracking down]] on them.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While Leon's [[TheRival Rival]], she never expected [[spoiler: someone as high of an authority as Angie to bow her head in public when she made the request.]] Even then, she's outright appalled by how fast the other students are to turn on people they once followed and respected, realizing that followers are [[FairWeatherFriend Fair Weather Friends]] at ''[[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder best]]''.
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: From two or three decades [[TaughtByExperience of cumulative hardship]], has learned to read people really well, and fast. The most notable example, is being able to accurately determine [[spoiler: the nature of Loic and Noelle's [[DomesticAbuse abusive relationship]].]]
* FemmeFatale: How she's percieved InUniverse, an easy misunderstanding considering how quickly she gained the affections five dateable cast. Among the nobility of the Kingdom, she is known as 'The Man-eating', and more than a few people have expressed that they are legitimately worried that Marie will seduce Leon like she did the five.
* FreudianExcuse: Since she was reborn, not only did her family neglect and abuse her emotionally and verbally (it's implied they were physically abusive as well), but they've also saddled her with the entirety of their debt to where she has struggled to afford new underclothes. It carried over from her previous life as well.
* FriendsAreChosenFamilyArent: Has a rough relationship with her (otome game world) family, so she’s closer to virtually anyone she gets along with in the story than them.
* GoldDigger: Part of her reason for going after the five datable cast. She would never have to worry about money again with them.
* MyGreatestFailure: Eventually sees her [[spoiler: having caused Leon’s death in their past-life]] as this.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: It took her several years of training in secret to refine her HealingHands and other WhiteMagic to where they are and it [[PowerAtAPrice came at a price]], but compared to Olivia who has TheGift [[spoiler: and a CompellingVoice]], she just can't compete.
* HateAtFirstSight: The moment she sees Leon, she gets irritated as if looking at her dead older brother.
* HealingHands: Studied long and hard to be able to do this, in order to fulfil the game protagonist’s role. Unfortunately, she’s just not as good at it as Olivia, which prevents her from healing Jilk in time for the next airbike race after he was beat up in his first one, like Olivia did in the game.
* HerosMuse: The five princes talk about her like this during their RivalsTeamUp moments with Leon, which greatly irritates him.
* HiddenDepths: Marie will ''never'' gamble and believes that people should take control of their finances due to her own past experiences. She's also a very talented cook, homemaker, and survivalist.
* HijackedDestiny: Tries to do this to Olivia, becoming [[HostileShowTakeover the game’s protagonist.]] [[spoiler: Backfires spectacularly due to her not having all of Olivia’s magic abilities like she thought she did, and [[LockedOutOfTheLoop not having finished the game.]] She ends up nearly [[BurnTheWitch burnt at the stake]] for being a false saint, and Olivia halts the FinalBattle how she was supposed to in the game. Although, the last of the three FinalBoss is [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talked down by Marie]], so the results are mixed.]]
* HostileShowTakeover: Essentially did this to Olivia, becoming the game’s protagonist, as fast as her second scene, successfully shooing Olivia away from her destined events.
* HypocriticalHumor: After Leon won the Air Bike race, Jilk agreed to his promises to do whatever he requests. Kyle suggests he is going to tie him upside-down naked. Leon calls him out on that, but then backtracks when he realizes he could make a lot of money from such an event. This leads to Marie asking if he would really go that far for money, which Leon immediately calls her out on.
* IWasQuiteALooker: In her past-life, which contributed to her being a SpoiledBrat, and let her work at a hostess club.
* KneelBeforeZod: [[spoiler: When Angelica and Olivia ask for her help as Saintess to free Leon from his [[FrameUp unjust imprisonment]], she promises to help if they both kowtow to her in public, thinking Angelica would be too prideful to. When they actually do it, Marie has an OhCrap moment realizing this will earn Leon's UnstoppableRage (which it does), and the five princes take turns [[FailureHero attempting to]] free him.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler: The entire time, because she was only able to make it half-way through the game and watch the rest as pictures, she didn’t realize that only Olivia’s special CompellingVoice could defeat the Final Boss. If she’d have known that, she wouldn’t have replaced Olivia or became a false saint.]]
* MoneyFetish: Recieving money makes her very happy, due to her past.
* NeverMyFault: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With]]. In Marie's InnerMonologue, she constantly blames her past life brother for everything, [[spoiler: [[CharacterDevelopment at least at first]]. She gradually comes to the realization that he was actually the only person to genuinely look out for and care for her from her past life. The hatred was mostly driven by Leon's resemblence to her previous life brother combined with his antagonism towards her.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: As revealed in her WhatIf side story, her plan to usurp the protagonist role ends up benefiting Olivia in the long run as usurping protagonist's role actually allowed her to study to her heart's content, causing her skill in magic to improve at a faster rate than her game counterpart. [[spoiler: It also kept Olivia from getting [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by the vengeful soul of the First Saintess that was residing in the Saint's Bracelet.]]
* OhCrap: Is paralyzed shivering in terror when realizing [[spoiler: that Leon will go into an UnstoppableRage when he finds out she made Angie and Olivia publicly kowtow to her, which she didn't think they'd go through with.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: She's technically the same age as most of the cast she attends school with, but she looks far younger due to her diminutive size. Additionally, after hearing her full story in Marie Route, Leon suspects her past-life self was in her late-thirties or her fourties.
* ParentingTheHusband: In a nutshell, this is Marie’s relationship with the five princes after they get disinherited; trying and usually failing to curb their bad behavior (in particular, their spending).
* PerpetualPoverty: Marie’s is used as a RunningGag after her ReverseHarem of princes [[DisinheritedChild get disinherited]], since the five keep on [[MsRedInk spending it all on gifts to impress her]]. Her prideful family also press their gambling debts onto her.
* PetTheDog: Towards Kyle. She [[NiceToTheWaiter treated him well enough]] that, unlike his previous masters, he actually wants to stay with her. This despite how annoying Marie finds his DeadpanSnarker and BrutalHonesty tendencies.
** Again towards [[spoiler: Carla, giving her acceptance after Carla's parents [[DisinheritedChild disowned her]], and the rest of the academy ostracized her, for being TheMole for SkyPirates. Despite Marie's initial motivation being to irritate Leon by making Carla her follower.]]
** Marie also takes a liking to Noelle in Alzer, letting her live in her mansion, as well as doing everything she can to protect Noelle from her StalkerWithACrush Loic and her ShipperWithAnAgenda sister Leila. The latter of whom becomes somewhat of [[TheRival a rival]] to Marie, over it.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Through [[MagicEnhancement magically enhanced]] punches and kicks.
* PowerAtAPrice: Her gaining HealingHands came at a price. It cost her all of her body's potential to grow, meaning she'll be stuck at her current body size forever.
* PowerStereotypeFlip: She’s the opposite of what one would expect from a girl with HealingHands and BarrierWarrior magic.
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Dishes this out when she's finally had enough of the five [[MsRedInk plundering her savings]].
* QuitYourWhining: Her reaction to seeing Leon depressed.
* ReverseHarem: She managed to snag all five of the games dateable cast into one exceedingly fast. What comes ''after'', is [[WasItReallyWorthIt her true struggle]].
* TheRival: Collectively serves as this to Leon with the five princes, although they each [[RivalsTeamUp gradually team up]] with him against outside foes, [[spoiler: ending up as permenant allies after Marie discovers she was Leon’s past-life-sibling.]]
* [[RomanticWingman Romantic Wingwoman]]: Serves as this for Noelle after becoming friends with her, fending off her StalkerWithACrush and contriving date opportunities with the man she’s interested in. This puts Marie into conflict with Noelle’s HorribleJudgeOfCharacter sister Leila.
* RoundhouseKick: Tends to do these when gravely offended. She uses MagicEnhancement to make them [[CuteBruiser uncannily strong]].
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: She uses one when going dungeon crawling with only Kyle for support in Volume 2.
* SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids: Her boyfriend abandoning her and her child in the past life gave her this viewpoint.
* TheSocialExpert: Fitting for someone who can seduce five people within a month, Marie is an ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter, and multiple times she [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath wins battles through dialogue.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: Leon interfering with her replacing Olivia in the game's story winds up turning the situation with this for several parties, ultimately causing the plot-line of the game to speed up drastically along with other changes.
* SpoiledBrat: Wants to live the decadent lives of the datable cast. When she finds them [[DisinheritedChild disowned]], and they decide to go dungeon hunting to make up for it, depriving her the luxury she sought, she turns into a StepfordSmiler to hide her pain while still manipulating them.
** When her backstory is explored, it turns out both of her lives ended up being a TraumaCongaLine, and she decided to live happily no matter what it takes, by the time she enters the Academy. Although, before everything went bad for her, [[spoiler: she did in fact grow up being spoiled by Leon as his younger sister.]]
* StepfordSmiler: When the five dateable cast lose access to their parents funding, she becomes this for a while in order to keep manipulating them with her Olivia [[BitchInSheepsClothing impression]], hiding her devestation.
* StrugglingSingleMother: Her relationship with the five comes off as this at times, as she constantly has to secure finances for them and curb their spending habits. In her past life she was this. She had to take care of her daughter but ultimately had to turn over custody to her parents because they stated she couldn't support her.
* SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler: Marie's sympathy for Hertrude going through her DespairEventHorizon, giving a ThenLetMeBeEvil speech on her behalf, is what defeats one of the FinalBoss.]]
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Being practiced in [[ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter reading]] and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulating]] people, manages to do this multiple times:
** From Marie’s perspective, she was doing this to Angelica by triggering the duel challenge, more than a year before it was supposed to happen in the game, [[FlawExploitation exploiting]] her HairTriggerTemper. It would have been a success, if not for Leon.
** [[spoiler: When Princess Hertrude makes one of the FinalBoss attack everyone after being betrayed by her homeland, and her little sister dying, Marie successfully comforts her into standing down, since they both know what it’s like to lose a beloved sibling.]]
** In the Alzer Republic, Marie [[spoiler: not only talks Loic out of his attempted SuicideByCop against Julius, but earns [[DefeatMeansFriendship his friendship]] and respect, with a DoNotGoGentle speech ending his DeathSeeker mindset.]]
* TaughtByExperience: Living two rough lives, having suffered bad relationships, and having to take drastic steps to survive, has made her an ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter.
* TeamMom: During her stay in the Alzer Republic, she is essentially babysitting the five, keeping the house and finances in order, and providing morale support for Noelle. Mind you, she's still in a relationship with all of the datable casts so it makes things awkward for Noelle, who is implied to have accidentally walked in on them in the act.
* ThereIsAnother: Another reincarnator like Leon, with a [[{{Foil}} very different mindset]] about the games plot.
* TrappedByGamblingDebts: In both her original and reincarnated lives, serving as motivation for her GoldDigger seduction of the five capture targets:
** In her old life, her ex-boyfriend used her money to gamble, and stuck the resulting debts onto her.
** In the Otome world, Marie's family, [[ImpoverishedPatrician despite being a Viscount House]], are poor due to a combination of her parents being TheGamblingAddict, and her older sister's [[MsRedInk spending habits.]] As a result, Marie's family push their debts onto her.
* TraumaCongaLine: In both lives:
** Due to being [[IHaveNoSon disowned by her parents]] in her previous life, then getting into a series of bad relationships, where she had her own money used to incur gambling debts by an ex-boyfriend, had a crappy wedding with her ex-husband, and ended up dying due to DomesticAbuse from another terrible boyfriend. Additionally, she lost custody of her daughter to her parents, and resorted to working as a "night-time entertainer", along the way.
** In her Otome world life, she grew up with [[TheGamblingAddict gambling addicted]] ImpoverishedPatrician parents, who would only give her hand-me-down clothes, and barely fed her, driving her to hunting and foraging to take care of herself. And then [[TrappedByGamblingDebts pressing their debts]] onto her after she enters the Academy.
* VirginShaming: Does this to Leon in the fourth volume.
* WasItReallyWorthIt: Marie succeeded in forming her ReverseHarem using her knowledge of the game to get it much faster than should have been possible. Then she’s stuck babysitting them, and they constantly make [[MsRedInk her life worse]] in their attempts to please her.
* WhamLine: [[ThereIsAnother "They're here at last. I've waited ten years for these princes".]]
* WhiteMagicianGirl: Subverted, she’s a healing specialist and WhiteMage, but her behavior is the opposite: A cynical and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]] CuteBruiser.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Marie's attempt to game the system by inserting herself into the protagonists role based on her knowledge of the game from her past life specifically backfires due to two reasons.
** The first is because she never actually completed the game herself, she had incomplete knowledge of why [[spoiler: Olivia specifically had the ability to defeat the FinalBoss and while she could replicate her other abilities she couldn't do the same for her CompellingVoice and couldn't stop the war as a result.]]
** The second is that [[spoiler: the [[AmplifierArtifact Royal Ship]] requires TrueLove to activate it, which she simply doesn't have for any of the capture targets, as she sees them as a means to an end. This would have lead to a [[DownerEnding Bad End]] had Leon, Olivia and Angelica not been there to activate it.]]
* YaoiFangirl: Is excited by the closeness between Julius and Jilk. [[spoiler: She hid some of this material in Leon's room in their previous life, which her mom found [[MistakenForGay and blamed Leon for having]], which caused him to move out, while she stayed quiet.]]

[[folder:Five Datable Cast]]
!!Five Datable Cast in General
The five datable heroes of the original game. Each of them has values that in an normal Otome game would be valued, but in this series it has consequences.
->For the Cast's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
!!!Tropes that apply to all of them.
----
* AllStarCast: InUniverse, they had a lineup of voice actors like this in the game. Said cast saying the player’s name as a reward for HundredPercentCompletion, was what drove Leon's little sister to make him complete it.
* AristocratTeam: The heirs of some of Holfort Kingdom's most prestigious and wealthy noble households.
* BattleHarem: For Marie, and originally for Olivia in the otome game. Leon saw them as pitiable meat shields when playing, and their personalities interfered with their battle performance. As the [[MagikarpPower series progresses]], this proves to be the one thing they can be counted on for.
* TheBeautifulElite: Leon’s FirstPersonPerspective is tinged with jealousy of them being this.
* TheChampion: A {{Deconstruction}} of romanticized heroic knights. They will do any task to prove themselves to their LoveInterest, no matter who or what odds they have to go against, or how much it violates common sense. Despite all of their [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense spoiled]] and [[LoveMakesYouDumb idiotic]] antics, they’re still [[DeconReconSwitch ultimately brave heroes]].
* ColorCodedCharacters: Due to originally being fictional characters, all five have a color connected to them. Brad is purple, Greg is red, Chris is blue, Jilk is green and Julius is black.
* DevotedToYou: Marie managed to charm all of them so thoroughly that they simply cannot see themselves with anyone else. When their affection was measured with the Royal Ship, each of them nearly had 100 points showcasing that every one of them was utterly in love with her. Even learning that her own affection for them was barely in the double digits, they still remain loyal to her and pledge they will work hard to make her love them to Marie's annoyance.
* FamousAncestor: They are each descended from the Five adventurers [[FounderOfTheKingdom who founded Holfort Kingdom]]; whose names were their family names.
* FireForgedFriends: Originally the five besides Julius and Jilk didn't particular like each other and only hung around because they each love Marie. But after being disinherited by their families they started to work together with Leon as a common foe becoming friends.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: They are sent along with Leon and Marie to attend the Alzer Republic Academy as exchange students, partly as punishment for wasting an entire year's worth of living expenses but also to keep them from being caught up in the post-war situation as both themselves and Marie are seen as potential targets. Each of them manages to fit in relatively well given they are fluent in the native language as well, so they don't have many problems fitting in. Incidently, they would be this in the otome game series as well if one has the [[OldSaveBonus a completed save for the first game]].
* FriendlyRivalry: Their competition to be Marie’s favorite.
* HeroicLineage: Their aforementioned [[FamousAncestor Famous Ancestors]] were five of the greatest adventurers in the Kingdom’s history who discovered and helped secure the continent. They are each thrilled at the prospect of adventuring and DungeonCrawling, which usually means cash they can waste celebrating.
* HiddenDepths: Despite all of their LoveMakesYouDumb issues, they still retain their extensive education, and as long as it doesn’t involve their romance, can provide useful political advice.
* InSeriesNickname: In most any scene told from Leon or Marie's FirstPersonPerspective, they are referred to as [[IdiotHero The Five Idiots]]. Individually, they're known as:
** Julius, the Idiot Prince.
** Jilk, the Black Hearted.
** Chris, the Swordsman.
** Brad, the Narcissist.
** Greg, the Musclehead.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: None of them are stupid by the fact that as influential nobles they have received an extensive education. But when love comes into the picture, all of that goes out the window and a lot of the things they've done while acting in interest falls into this category.
* LoveRuinsTheRealm:
** Likewise, because of their infatuation with their LoveInterest Marie, they've ultimately ended up disowned whether as a consequence of their actions or by choice. This unintentionally caused a huge power shift as the factions who supported them became unsettled and other households began making moves to overthrow them.
* MagikarpPower: While they're at first shown struggling against foes Leon can easily dispatch, he notes that, due to the RPGElements of the dating sim, he knew they would have been much tougher to beat after a year or two of combat experience. Indeed, after clearing the events of the first dating sim, Leon judges their capabilities superhuman while DungeonCrawling together.
* OneTrueLove: How they see Marie. Its noted that many of them are in positions high enough that they could still go through with their ArrangedMarriage and kept Marie as a mistress, but they simply cannot bring themselves to do that. No one else can compare, so they don't bother with even trying to maintain the illusion of going through with ArrangedMarriage or other lovers.
* OverratedAndUnderleveled: Leon's complaints about their performance as game characters point to their backstories not holding up: Julius is noted to have top marks in combat tests, Chris to be a MasterSwordsman, Greg to be a veteran adventurer, etc. In their first DungeonCrawling scene, they struggle with a group of foes that Leon could [[CurbStompBattle easily eviscerate]] by himself.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Start to look like this after they each take up professions suiting their passions, bringing out their inner quirks.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Often, when [[RivalsTeamUp working alongside]] Leon.
* TrueCompanions: Their dynamic amongst each-other after Leon unites them in rivalry against him.
* {{Pride}}: Being the eldest sons of some of the kingdom's most important families, they all have inflated egos of themselves that Leon absolutely stomped into the ground during their match.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: The biggest issue with all of them is that they have no sense when it comes to managing money due to being wealthy. Note, they could actually earn money through adventuring but they would spend whatever they earned right away, so Marie actively has to hide whatever money she gets so they won't starve as they will ultimately spend it on gifts to try and make her happy.
* RivalsTeamUp: With Leon, which usually leads to CharacterDevelopment.
* SexyManInstantHarem: All five of them are incredibly popular with women that anytime they walk anywhere there is usually a group of girls following them.
* WhatTheHellHero: They each give Leon one of these, when they learn how he got a certain group of allies to fight for him with "[[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord friendship]]".
* WorthyOpponent: After Leon defeated them in volume one, they all wanted revenge. But in volume 2 Greg, Brad and Chris start to respect Leon for his strength and this look up to him while still desiring to defeat him.

[[folder:Julius Rapha Holfort]]
!!!Julius Rapha Holfort
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyotaOhsaka (''Drama CD'')
--> ''"They're forcing a life of royalty on me! No one is looking at my true self! I never wanted to be born into the life of royalty! Marie is the only one who's considered my feelings!"''
The Crown Prince of the Holfort Kingdom, Julius wishes he was anything but. He pines for a simple life free of the restrictions and demands of the Royal Court, which he sees his fiancée Angelica as the enbodyment of, eventually contributing to him ending their engagement in favor of the seemingly humble Marie. Julius is honest with a sense of justice and adventure, countered by his spoiled and prideful tendencies.
->For Julius's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
----
* ArrangedMarriage: He was originally betrothed to Angelica, which he called off to be with Marie. [[spoiler:He was almost set up with Hertrude as a peace offering before he pretended to attack her to break it off.]]
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Julius resents his status as the heir to the throne, seeing it as a burden as he never gets to choose his future in life. He even turns this resentment towards Angelica, his fiancée.
* CharacterDevelopment: He steadily grows as a character after his duel with Leon from apologizing to Angelica to eventually learning the value of hard work and finding enjoyment in simple work like being a meat griller.
* DumbassHasAPoint: About Angelica LovingAShadow. She spent her whole life being prepared for an arranged marriage, and being Queen one day, so her identity is tied up in the concept of being with Julius, rather than having naturally fallen for him. Her own father's words support this.
* HumblePie: Julius, after being kicked out by Marie alongside the other capture targets for [[MsRedInk pilfering half her savings]], blows most of his cash celebrating on first day. Upon realizing he's almost broke, Julius is shocked to discover that all four of the others are more successful on their own than him. He runs away to wallow on a bench, homeless, only to finally get his hands dirty working for a stand, and winds up winning the challenge Marie offered to the five of them because of the [[CharacterDevelopment perspective he gains.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** During his duel with Leon, Julius breaks out into a MotiveRant about how much he resents his lot in life, which is fair on it's own. But then he tries to coerce Leon into [[ThrowingTheFight throwing this match]], wanting to fight to the death, knowing full in well that if Leon were to kill him he'd face even more severe consequences due to his status.
** For all his talk about Angelica never understanding him, it's implied that he never made an attempt to understand or even relate to her either, just wallowing in his self-pity until he meets Marie.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Leon's ShutUpHannibal response to Julius' breakdown sees him calling out Julius on prioritizing his own well being over the Kingdom and even Angelica's feelings.
** Prior to the duel, it was stated that Julius even demanded that Angelica take on no lovers of her own all the while he's carrying on an affair with Marie.
* KnightlySwordAndShield: His preferred weapons, although unlike Chris, he’s not averse to [[TheMusketeer using guns.]]
* TheLoveSlapOfEpiphany: In the otome game the protagonist slaps Julius which cause him to fall for her. In the story, Marie takes Olivia's place.
* LegacyCharacter: Essentially assumes the Masked Knight superhero identity from his father without his permission by stealing his costume and gear, to get around being forbidden from fighting due to his status. He discovered a secret passage leading to it as a child.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Unlike his father, who is TheCasanova, he has SingleTargetSexuality towards Marie and Marie alone.
* ModestRoyalty: After CharacterDevelopment kicks in, Julius starts taking pride in hard work. Definitely averted at first though, [[RebelPrince despite his protests]].
* MoneyDumb: Shown when he’s forced to live by himself, when he falls flat on his face out the gates, while the other four are fine on their own. The experience helped him to grow and be less this.
* PaperThinDisguise: After being ordered to stay safe by his parents, Julius steals his father's armor and mask to get around this and fight. Everyone can tell it's Julius ... except the other dateable cast.
* PrinceCharmless: After falling for Marie, his stupidity and naivete becomes painfully obvious to the point Marie and Olivia are annoyed by him.
* RebelPrince: His defining trait. He hates responsibility and sees his engagement with Angelica as an extension of it. He is somewhat of a {{hypocrite}} however, both using that same authority to essentially command Leon to lose their duel, as well as having having no sense of financial restraint. [[CharacterDevelopment He does get better]].
** Julius fully defies his parents, who want him to evacuate instead of fight, stealing his father's MiniMecha to join the FinalBattle in a PaperThinDisguise.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Julius takes up cooking as a profession as part of his CharacterDevelopment. Besides [[WarriorPrince adventuring as a passtime]].
* SayMyName: Screams that he'll [[ThisIsUnforgivable never forgive]] Leon, after he uses Julius as bait to lure a hundred monsters into an ambush.
* SensualSpandex: Whenever Julius uses his father’s Masked Knight regalia to fight in disguise, due to being kept out of the fight to protect the dynasty. This gets him called a pervert, since it was designed by [[TheCasanova Roland]].
* SoreLoser: Per the terms of the duel, Julius was meant to cut off ties with Marie since he lost to Leon. Julius continued to ignore the agreement all the while claiming that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial just because he continues to hang around the harem, doesn't mean he's engaging with them]].
* TooMuchInformation: Leon speaking about Julius’ mother tends to elicit this reaction.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: His favorite food are common meat skewers which he uses as proof that Angelica doesn't know him. Marie used this to her advantage by asking him to a skewer stand which made him think she was his destiny.
* WarriorPrince: Julius is one of the most talented warriors in the kingdom, and goes adventuring for fun. His parents try to keep him out of major battles, [[RebelPrince not that he lets that stop him]].
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Says this to his mother [[RoyalFavorite about Leon]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Jilk Fia Marmoria]]
!!Jilk Fia Marmoria
->'''Voiced by:''' Tatsumaru Tachibana (''Drama CD'')
--> ''"Your life ended the moment you went against his Highness."''
The adopted brother of Julius, the Marmoria family have been servants of the Royal Family for many generations, and Jilk is no different, seeming a faithful and quiet butler-like figure. Jilk will use any means necessary to protect his love interest and Julius in secret, be it bullying, threats, or assassination, taking an end-justifies-the-means mindset.
----
* AdoptAServant: Adopted to serve as Julius' aid in his role as Crown Prince. After Julius and Jilk are disinherited, he keeps his UndyingLoyalty to him.
* BadassBiker: The best airbike pilot in the Academy, which ties into an Otome Game event where Olivia was supposed to heal him after he was beaten up in a race. The skill also becomes useful later on, when [[spoiler: driving the hostages rescued from Pierre's henchmen to the arena, allowing Leon to stop delaying and finish the duel.]]
* BandageMummy: The manga adaptation has Jilk be this after losing his duel to Leon, as LaserGuidedKarma.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's noted to be the quietest of the group, but also the most dangerous. It should be noted that out of all the other datable cast he's the only one who attempted to take measures that could potentially kill Leon during their duel if his armor was any less durable.
* BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: Jilk does this to [[spoiler: Pierre's crooked merchant associate, when he tries threaten his hostage Carla, after his goons are taken out.]]
* TheButlerDidIt: Jilk maintains a public persona is as a straight-forward servant who doesn't stand out, while committing crimes in the shadows to advance his goals. Leon thinks this aspect of his character is cliché.
* ColdSniper: Sniper rifles are his preferred weapon both in MiniMecha and on foot, fitting his characterization as being quiet and ruthless.
* CombatPragmatist: An even more brutal one than Leon, using military grade bullets and even attempting to use a bomb to kill Leon to protect his and Julius' honor.
* DearJohnLetter: He broke off his ArrangedMarriage via letter, specifically because as he fell in love with Marie he felt more reluctant to be around Clarice. He couldn't bring himself to tell her in person.
* DemolitionsExpert: He's noted for being talented when it comes to explosives.
* LegacyOfService: His family have been servants to the Holfort Dynasty since the Kingdom's founding. This image of a servant is something Jilk is happy to play up, to [[BeneathNotice his own advantage.]]
* LethalChef: His tea and snacks are noted to be bad.
* StepfordSmiler: Leon states that Jilk likes to hide his emotions behind a smile, the issue is as a result he refuses to do anything he doesn't like causing issues with Clarice in volume two because he knows he messed up.
* UsefulNotes/TeaAndTeaCulture: Has this as a hobby, and spares no expense on it, to Marie’s horror.
* ThreatBackfire: Jilk learns why it's bad to to [[AndYourLittleDogToo threaten people's families]], when he is recorded doing so, and it's held as blackmail material over him. He'd lose all of his honor and social standing if it was revealed.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed. He seems to have played a role of PoisonousFriend for Julius in the game. Jilk was trained in espionage to help him serve Julius. The other four cast tire of the trouble this gets him into in their daily lives, but his talents prove very useful during conflict.
* {{Touche}}: Leon suggests he is the best person to set up an ambush for monsters, drawing a complaint, until Leon cites the fact he forced Leon's sister to plant a bomb in his mech, which Jilk admits he can't respond to.
* UndyingLoyalty: He is incredibly loyal to Julius, his best friend and foster brother, even attempting to sabotage Leon's armor to protect Julius' reputation.
* {{Unishment}}: Leon notices he seems oddly happy to be punished by Marie, and he [[MischiefForPunishment earns her ire]] more than the others combined.
* YesMan: Jilk is so loyal to Julius that he will automatically praise his friend for even having an idea regardless if it's actually intelligent.
* AndYourLittleDogToo: Jilk attempts to scare Leon off by threatening his family in the middle of this match. This simply pisses Leon off even more.

* CripplingOverspecialization: Chris has only focused on swordsmanship to the point of completely ignoring any other weaponry. Leon is able to toy with Chris with his drones. He finally starts to realize the flaw of his mindset in volume 2.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Downplayed. While Chris couldn't complete with Leon due to Leon's armor being a lost item, but Chris intentionally limited himself by only focused on his swordsmanship at the price of any long-ranged weaponry. This weakness cost Leon many times in the otome game.

* IceQueen: Leon states Chris was very stoic and incredibly hard to romance as a result.
* KindnessButton: Being recognized, such as Leon telling him he has amazing luck, [[DefrostingIceQueen breaks through his stoic exterior.]]

!!Brad Fou Field
->'''Voiced by:''' Kodai Sakai (''Drama CD'')
--> ''“You don’t get it! The main character is supposed to be slow to appear.”''

----
* AnimalLover: After becoming a StageMagician, he's usually shown being affectionate to his rabbit and pigeon.
* BoisterousWeakling: He's the weakest of the five but is a narcissist that overestimates his strength. Leon states Brad would constantly be the first to fight the enemy only to be beaten right away.
* ButtMonkey: He suffers the most at the hands of foes amongst the five princes. Based on what Leon said happened in the game’s combat scenarios, this seems to be his destiny.
* TheDandy: His archetype. Eventually makes it work for him by becoming a StageMagician.
* TheFightingNarcissist: Brad's armor is heavily decorated, to the point Luxion said it was interfering with the weaponry. Brad also spent plenty of time bragging about how powerful and expensive it was and was instantly angered when Leon mocked it.
* FlyingWeapon: Uses magic to remotely control spears like AttackDrone from his mech.
* HiddenDepths: Despite his ego, volume two reveals he is all too aware of being the weakest of the five and is working hard behind the scenes to fix it. Leon is a bit taken back when he learns about this side of Brad.
* ICanStillFight: After being beaten nearly to death by Pierre and his thugs, [[spoiler: tries and fails to prevent Carla’s kidnapping by Pierre’s merchant associates, nearly dying.]]
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Leon suggests that Brad has a complex over being a SquishyWizard due to the kingdom caring so much about physical strength. Volume two reveals this to be true
* LeeroyJenkins: Leon’s hatred for him stems from being this in the game, as a SquishyWizard who charges into close-combat, leading to many GameOver screens.
* LikeAGodToMe: Says this about Marie due to her rare gift of HealingHands, while being healed by Livia, which helps restore [[HeroicSelfDeprecation Livia's self-confidence.]]

* SquishyWizard: He's noted to be very well-versed in magic, but he's the weakest in melee of the five.

* TheWorfEffect: In Volume 4, he tries to settle things peacefully with Pierre's entourage when they try to beat him down to incite a war, despite him surpassing them in both physical and magical prowess as the kingdom places martial prowess in a high place due to being founded by Adventurers whereas the Republic doesn't. However, because of the Sacred Tree's blessing Pierre is able to shut down his magic and trap him, which leaves him unable to fight back. He ends up being beaten to an inch of his life as a result and becomes too injured to help later on as well.

[[folder:Greg Fou Seburg]]
!!Greg Fou Seburg
->'''Voiced by:''' Tatsuya Fuji (''Drama CD'')
--> ''“I couldn't do anything. I act all high and mighty, but I can't do anything without my retainers. Was I... just a pretentious brat?”''
Despite being a noble heir, Greg is a delinquent-like adventurer, valuing strength and experience. While tough, Greg is impulsive and impatient, going with his gut instead of making plans, relishing chances to show off his strength, and detesting negotiation, which he sees as cowardice.
----
* BladeOnAStick: Prefers to fight using spears.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Compared to the others, his armor is specifically an outdated and mass-produced one because he doesn't put as much value in his equipment as he does his own skill.
* BreakTheHaughty: In volume two after freezing when Sky Pirates attack then seeing Leon take care of them single handily, he realizes how arrogant he was and revises his opinion of Leon.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has red eyes and hair.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: He has tan skin due to working as an adventurer in his spare time and has naturally red hair.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: Trying to take on SkyPirates in their MiniMecha with only his spear leaves him like this, and [[TookALevelInKindness changing his attitude]].
* FullFrontalAssault: Fights like this after taking up bodybuilding, much [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn to Jilks irritation.]]
* JerkJock: Greg's quite arrogant and ill-mannered to everyone around him including Julius. He's also quite obsessed with his personal strength and wears a uniform with short sleeves that only adds to the image.
* LovableJock: After he TookALevelInKindness, thanks to two too many BreakTheHaughty moments, he shows a caring attitude.
* MrFanservice: Generally, and especially after he becomes body-building obsessed in the fifth volume.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When he helps Marie translate, and do research in an Alzer library, to help get revenge on Pierre.
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Gets this due to becoming a quasi-nudist after taking up bodybuilding. [[FullFrontalAssault Even in battle.]]
* SoreLoser: After Leon easily defeats Greg's armor, Greg refused to give, even attempting to fight Leon's armor with scrap metal despite the fact he had no chance.
* {{Stripperific}}: His combat outfits in the Manga adaptation are a male example, fitting with his liking to display his muscles. [[AdaptationalSkimpiness Although]], he was just described with short sleeves at this point in the novels.
* ARealManIsAKiller: Downplayed as Greg never goes as far as murder but Greg's household places great value in physical strength and actual combat experience. Greg hates anyone that uses communication to fix problems instead of violence.
* TookALevelInKindness: After his BreakTheHaughty realization, Greg tones down his mean behavior and actually looks up to Leon now.
* TheUpperCrass: The others are initially surprised he can act so cantankerous around the Crown Prince; he acts more like a delinquent than an heir to a noble house. Before [[TookALevelInKindness he settles down.]]
* WalkingShirtlessScene: From the fifth volume onwards.
* WillfullyWeak: Greg is so arrogant over his skill and personal strength that he intentionally uses an outdated frame to show off his strength.

!!Leon Fou Bartfort
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuusukeKobayashi (''Drama CD'')
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leon_0.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Our "hero", the mob]]
-->''"It's the best feeling in the world! To use [[PayToWin such power]] to completely crush guys who were talking big is so satisfying! Also, seeing you five pitiful souls thinking you could actually beat me is such a riot! I might be arrogant, but it's also true that you can't beat me! How's it feel to lose to someone you view as inferior, prince!?"''
The protagonist. A Japanese salaryman who lost his home [[MistakenForGay after being accused of having Yaoi that was in fact his sister's]]. Said sister blackmails him into playing an ''otome game'' two days straight, resulting in his death from exhaustion. Now reborn as a mob (background NPC) in the world of the game, he gains his memories of his previous life at age five. Despite the game's [[CrapsaccharineWorld fluffy surface]], Leon finds himself at the bottom of a feudal FantasticCasteSystem in LadyLand, and exploited. After seeking out his [[BribingYourWayToVictory cheat item]] [[RobotBuddy Luxion]] in desperation, Leon decides to stay out of the game’s plot as much as possible while attending the Royal Academy, in the hopes of living an easy life in obscurity. This of course, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption doesn't go as planned.]]
->For Leon's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: A common reaction to the manga adaptation, is to note how attractive Leon is. He's repeatedly referred to as average looking in the novels, contrasting the game's dateable cast. Although, Olivia does call him cute at one point.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Certainly not all (his problems finding a marriage are a major plot point), but it’s not uncommon for his LoveInterests to giggle at his bad behaviors.
* ArcWords: Luxion tells Leon when they first meet, that being called a coward is the [[CombatPragmatist greatest compliment one can receive]] on the battlefield. Leon thinks and brings this up multiple times to justify [[ThePlan his gambits.]]
* ArmsDealer: Eventually uses spoils of conflict as starting resources to build an airship shipyard. Being the PragmaticHero that he is, Leon leverages it for maximum political advantage, and to prepare for future conflicts.
* BadassBystander: Leon was originally this prior to stepping up as Angelica's representative for the duel due to his reputation as a successful adventurer at a young age. Incidentally, doing so ultimately serves as the reason he winds up in the middle of the resulting butterfly effect.
* BecomingTheMask: When Leon tries to act, he tends to fall into this. He feigns interest in tea ceremonies, and then becomes obsessed with them. He feigns interest to the Queen to tease her, but is surprised to find himself genuinely interested.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Downplayed, but part of the reason why Leon didn't just cut and run when he became adventurer was because his younger brother would have just been given his engagement in lieu of him.
* BiggerStick: His possession of Luxion serves as this. Any situation that needs to be resolved through force will ultimately end up in his favor.
* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: InvokedTrope. He prefers to call it ThePowerOfFriendship! [[spoiler: He offers his fellow poor noblemen free state-of-the-art airships, using the excuse of promoting his factory. Then he promises to cut them off from repairs and maintenance if they don't fight under his command, since they can't get them anywhere else due to the technology on them.]]
* BottledHeroicResolve: Gets inspired to have some prepared, after seeing Serge use combat stimulants. It grants him SuperSenses and a boost to speed and reaction time, but leaves him requiring medical treatment afterwords.
* BreakThemByTalking: Frequently uses this. A good example is what he does to the datable cast of the first game when he fights them, brutally calling them out for their weaknesses - both physically and mentally.
** Greg tries to excuse his disadvantage due to Leon's armor being far more advanced, Leon points out that Greg intentionally fights with an outdated and mass-produced model when he's more than rich enough to use a much stronger armor. He then follows up saying that ''preparation is half the battle'' which Greg has neglected to do due to his ego as he points out how weak Greg is as a result. This leaves Greg foaming at the mouth as he pathetically tries to fight Leon's armor with his bare hands.
** When Chris tries to complain about how Leon lacks honor after Leon uses his drones, Leon points out how hypocritical that is when Chris was fine with a five on one match against Leon. After Leon catches and breaks Chris' sword, Chris goes into self-pity mode only for Leon to point out that he doesn't care at all.
** Leon was annoyed at Jilk's attempts to murder him but he truly is engaged when Jilk tried to threaten his family. He reveals that he recorded Jilk's threat and threatens to release the recording to have Jilk disowned and damage Julius' reputation. This leaves Jilk a blabbing mess till Leon does his final blow. In fact it's shown that Jilk was the one who was most hurt after the match, having bandages over his face while the others are unscathed.
** While Leon can sympathize with Julius' [[TheChainsOfCommanding issues with being the crown prince]], he points out that Julius has had a ''far'' easier life than the average male noble since he was never in danger of being forced into a marriage with a far older woman, being told upfront he's not rich enough to talk to or that he's only a source of income for his wife and her lover/slaves. After Julius orders that this match won't end till one of them dies, Leon points out Julius is all too willing to use the perks of being the prince despite his stated hatred of being forced into the position.
* BribeBackfire: He often pays hefty bribes when he wants to effect the Kingdom’s politics. This always gets him promoted, which he hates.
* BrilliantButLazy: He's capable of accomplishing pretty much anything if he actually puts his mind to it, but he usually lacks the motivation to do so. Even without trying too much, he's still getting above average marks. [[spoiler:He eventually grows to regret this attitude when his lack of preparation cause the Principality to invade and him scrabbling to counter.]]
** Julius later thinks to himself, that Leon would be TheAce if he wasn't this, outshining himself and the other princes. This is after Leon comes to respect [[MagikarpPower the five prince's capabilities.]]
* ChivalrousPervert: Leon starts to look like this in the later volumes, which he gets called out for by multiple characters.
* CluelessChickMagnet: For someone who keeps calling himself a "Mob", Leon has actually managed to get the attention of a good number of women. Not that he's aware of it. In fact, [[spoiler:he probably thinks only Angelica and Olivia like him, and that's only because they decide to confront him about his feelings. Marie notes that Leon also got the attention of girls in their past lives, but he was just as clueless as he was now.]]
** Averted later on in the series, where Leon starts being proud of going on dates with different women, which always gets him called ''[[PhraseCatcher the worst]]''.
* CoolBigBro: One of Leon's positive qualities. He maybe a snarky {{Jerkass}} and a selfish bastard sometimes but when it comes to his siblings he would go into great lengths to protect and cherish them. This is the reason why his younger brother Collin treats him with BigBrotherWorship, and Nicks respects and admires him, [[spoiler: while Marie begs Olivia to take everything she has in exchange for him.]] One could also see his spoiling of Kyle by offering to let him ride Arroganz despite the taboo of doing so, as this.
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: After finishing the game for his little sister, he gets even with her by using the picture she sent her to their family to expose her. He admits then he could've done that first and not play the game. But then we wouldn't have a story would we?
* CycleOfRevenge: Leon gets into one with the majority of the student body of the Academy, starting with his ZeroApprovalGambit to get expelled that backfired. Leon takes [[{{Troll}} sadistic pleasure in]] seeing people who hate him suffer, so he wastes no opportunity to gamble against them and berate them, while the students in many cases outright assault him, at least the ones who [[BullyingADragon don't fear]] the [[PoisonousFriend ruthless Duke Redgrave]]'s retribution. There is no telling how bad this would have gotten without his alliance with the Redgraves protecting him.
* DareToBeBadass: Gives a speech to this effect alongside a DrillSergeantNasty routine, to get his fellow students to fight in a [[DarkestHour dire situation]].
* DeathGlare: He gives these from time to time. When he does it to Princess Hertrude, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint she mistakes it for lust]].
* DramaticIrony: At the temple he donates a large amount of money to have his wish come true. Said wish being he hopes for a wife that would love him and not just use him. He says this where Angelica and Olivia are standing by his side and are genuninely in love with him.
* TheDreaded: By volume 6, Leon's reputation starts to proceed him.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: According to Clarice in the fourth volume, Leon has earned some male admirers like this from his heroics.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Most of his LoveInterests are some form of blonde.
* ExhaustedEyeBags: The manga tends to portray him with this in most scenes. As visual indication of how hard he works that cannot be regularly seen in a Light/Web Novel.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: His dream of living a quiet, easy life in obscurity.
* FamedInStory: Before even entering the academy, became the Kingdom's most accomplished adventurer in decades. His own actions, turn this fame, into widespread hatred, and eventually, [[TheDreaded being feared as the Fiendish Knight]].
** Abroad, in Alzer, Leon quickly earns fame and admiration in the eyes of the commoners there, who greatly appreciate their SmugSuper nobles being humiliated.
* {{Farmboy}}: Due to his parents being poor nobles. He still helps out with it over the school break even after finding Luxion and clearing all of their debts.
* FixingTheGame: Loves doing this, betting on himself before cheating to win, and cheating at cards. Since Luxion can produce infinite wealth, he doesn’t really need to do it.
* TheGlovesComeOff: When Luxion tells him that it’s inefficient to fight while [[ThouShaltNotKill making sure not to kill]], Leon admits that if things get bad enough, he will need to kill, but wants to avoid it up until then. [[spoiler: When the Principality invades a second time and attack the capitol after destroying Holfort’s main fleet, with the goal of [[ApocalypseHow sinking the continent]], Leon snipes dead a Principality officer who mocks him for not killing, proceeding to kill hundreds more with Arroganz and indirectly via [[CoolAirship Partner]]. This causes him to repeatedly StressVomit.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: With Leon, it’s [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold positively jerkass.]] It’s pretty much his standard procedure with opponents to BreakThemByTalking, and if really mad, KickThemWhileTheyAreDown.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Luxion reads that Leon is a hybrid New Human/Old Human with some of his DNA including the Old Human Japanese Genome. It's for this reason that Luxion didn't just self-destruct when Leon tried to claim it. It's currently unknown ''why'' this is the case.
* HasAType: His having this is a RunningGag throughout the franchise.
* HateAtFirstSight: Downplayed as Leon admits he felt annoyed the moment he saw Marie but he didn't hate her but admits the feeling is complex.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: After Leon's match with the princes, the vast majority of the school hates him for winning because of the bet they place in favor of the princes. Some students state they lost all their money as a result. Due to his various achievements various nobles grow nervous of Leon's power [[spoiler:to the point of teaming up with the Principality to kill him.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Leon will always think of himself as mob no matter the achievements he gets. Thinking that all his victories are due to Luxion despite the fact it was his determination, bravery and quick thinking that has saved the day over and over again.
* HollywoodSilencer: Used when he's doing stealth operations. Potentially a JustifiedTrope, seeing as how they're made by Luxion, whose technology is far more advanced than modern day earth.
* HypocrisyNod: Sometimes makes these when called out, when not responding with SarcasmMode.
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** Claims to hate gambling, [[DistinctionWithoutADifference but love winning]].
** As Luxion points out after he talks to Chris, despite him repeatedly criticizing the five princes for their inferiority complexes, he [[HeroicSelfDeprecation has one himself]].
** The eighth volume has a major example. [[spoiler: Calling his father the worst after hearing he's been accused of having an affair, despite Leon's own interactions with Louise, which include kissing.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: In the fourth volume, when he criticizes Jean and Narcisse in his InnerMonologue, thinking they're ObliviousToLove.
-->'''"This insensitive fellow--good grief, I wouldn’t care even if [[{{Foreshadowing}} something irreversible happened]] because you didn’t notice the other person’s feelings even after they were appealing so blatantly like that toward you."''
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Because Arrogantz and Luxion are so powerful, Leon often does this to look more like an underdog, much to Luxion's vocal annoyance. Eventually takes it to the point of WoundedGazelleGambit.
* InsecureLoveInterest: The reason Leon never made a move on Olivia or Angelica was because he feels that he isn't worthy to be the partner of the future Saintess or a Duke's daughter [[spoiler:even after getting confessed to.]] [[spoiler:The girls actually notice this so they decide to corner him about it.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Generally gruff and disrespectful. When Leon is with anyone he doesn't like, he's usually taunting, dressing down, or insulting them, [[{{Troll}} enjoying]] their suffering. But he'll always protect his friends and family, and acts on his conscience as much as he might [[BrilliantButLazy complain about having to do so.]]
-->'''Clarice''': ''"You're actually a pretty nice guy underneath that twisted facade, aren't you?"''
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Leon ''hates'' being a noble with every fiber of his being and just wanted to blend into the crowd during his time in Holfort Academy.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Ends up using one for all his sword fights, due to Luxion making one for him as a SecretTest to see if he was really Japanese.
* KickedUpstairs: This is what happens to Leon near the end of volume 3. [[spoiler:Leon asked for his reward to be demoted and surrendering his land as exchange for the Kingdom's guarantee of helping the 5 idiots and Marie. The king decided at the last minute to "reward" him instead by promoting him to Count so he will have to deal with the responsibilities that come with the rank as revenge for upstaging him during the war.]] Leon was ''not'' amused.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Has a habit of trampling defeated enemies, such as the leader of the SkyPirates who attacked Partner, or [[spoiler: the [[TraumaticHaircut formerly-mustachioed]] Earl Garrett, after Leon first defeats the Principality of Fanoss.]]
* LaughingMad: When Leon rampages, after having been bullied by several students, and getting justification to retaliate after Angie [[SayingTooMuch lets slip]] that [[KingIncognito the Queen]] is in danger.
* LongGame: Leon's TranquilFury takes this form, as vouched for [[spoiler: by Marie, citing her past-life memories of Leon getting revenge on some bullies. This makes her deathly terrified of Leon and willing to do anything (even ColdBloodedTorture) to avoid a fate like Pierre in his duel. Fortunately for her, he was playing up his anger at her [[{{Troll}} for fun]].]]
* MartialPacifist: Leon makes it clear he doesn't want to kill to Luxion's annoyance but he does state in a war the circumstances would be different. [[spoiler:When the Principality invades in volume 3, Leon was forced to kill a lot of them to protect the Kingdom.]]
* MiseryBuildsCharacter: Part of the reason Leon was so brutal towards the dateable cast in his match against them at volume one was to teach them their flaws since they will be the one running the kingdom in the future.
* MistakenForGay: What kicks off the story. Thanks to his little sister, his mom in the previous world thought that some Yaoi that was actually his sister's belonged to him, thus being forced to leave. It's why he played the otome game he would reincarnate in; To get his sister to tell the truth to their mother.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: DiscussedTrope, in Leon's [[WeCanRuleTogether discussions with]] Princess Hertrude. He hates the Kingdom because of its treatment of men and poor nobles. But it's also where all of his friends and loved ones live.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Leon tends to think like this when it comes to Marie, and to a lesser extent, Noelle.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In volume 2 after Olivia breaks down wondering if Leon only sees her as a pet, Leon realizes that he's been seeing Olivia as the protagonist and might have been ignoring who she really is as a result. He starts distancing himself from Olivia thinking he's been babying her as a result.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: During the first day of school, he immediately felt something off and looked directly at Marie, noting for some reason he felt an anger well up in him when he saw her.
* NotSoDifferent: He realized after Olivia claims he sees her as only a pet, that he has been usurping all of the events Olivia was supposed to have accomplished herself. He realizes this, in a way, makes him no different than Marie.
* ObliviousToLove: The {{Irony}} for someone who hates dense protagonists in games is that he's also one. Leon won't realize that a girl likes him unless someone spells it out for him [[spoiler:like what Olivia and Angie did. Marie notes that Leon was just as bad in their previous lives.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: A slight case due to being a reincarnator, he was at least in his early to mid-20s before being reborn.
* ThePerilsOfBeingTheBest: Part of his fear of being promoted, mainly of mundane FeudalOverlord concerns, such as having to pay more to the crown, raise troops for them, and be involved in political factions and clashes.
* PhraseCatcher: Being called ''the worst''. Also, people responding to his actions with ThisIsUnforgivable.
** Being suspected of being a sis-con, which given the various circumstances, one could hardly blame his accusers.
* ThePlan: Frequently comes up with these, leaving the readers in the dark about them until after they’ve played out. [[RuleOfDrama Of course]], things don’t always follow his designs.
* PragmaticHero: He enjoys using unfair advantages, and [[BreakTheHaughty breaking the spirits]] of those who dislike him is typically as much a goal of his plans as helping others. His main scruple is avoiding killing, but he realizes [[GodzillaThreshold that’s not always an option.]]
* RankUp: Gets his noble peerage raised repeatedly, for one or more of a dozen different reasons, much to his chagrin. For a while he [[SpringtimeForHitler makes plans]] to be demoted, before giving up on the idea.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Leon is a big fan of the BreakThemByTalking tactic, but Prince Julius in particular gets a more scathing breakdown than any of the other nobles during their duel.
* RedBaron: After his victory over a fleet of the [[spoiler:Principality]] in volume 2, the [[spoiler:Principality]] calls him the Fiendish Knight.
* RefugeInAudacity: Leon proposes to Queen Mylene as a joke, but then the more he started thinking about it, he realized that [[HasAType Mylene is actually his ideal type of woman]] so he proposes again a second time, this time dead serious.
* ReluctantRuler: [[spoiler: When Leon returns to Holfort from the Alzer Republic, he finds that Roland has [[KickedUpstairs promoted]] him to Marquis, prompting a brief scuffle. Then, Roland reveals that he tricked [[VoluntaryVassal his new subordinate]] Alberg into giving Leon territory, with Marie, and the princes besides Julius, arranged to be Leon's landed vassals there.]]
* RoyalFavorite: Leon gains a reputation as 'the queen's favorite', between his several promotions at a young age, and his many private conversations with Queen Mylene, it's not hard to see why.
-->'''Nicks''': ''"Why are you close with the queen like that? ──I don’t think it’s possible but, you aren’t laying your hand on her right? Stop it. Really stop it!”''
** In the Alzer Republic, its ruler Alberg Rault shows favoritism to Leon enough to crank up the resentment of his rival Great Houses since Leon’s an interfering foreigner. Alberg even gives Leon free reign of his mansion, and [[ShipperOnDeck his daughter’s bed-chamber.]] [[spoiler: This is due to Leon being an IdenticalStranger to his dead son, and said noble resentment boils over into a plot to replace the Raults with Barriérre as chairman.]]
* RuleOfThree: Leon states that he’s heard a saying that there will be at least two people in the world who [[IdenticalStranger look just like yourself]]. It turns out to be correct: [[spoiler: Leon Sara Rault, and [[IdenticalGrandson Liia Bartfort]], both seemingly having the same personality as well.]]
* {{Sadist}}: Leon is a downplayed example, driving his CycleOfRevenge with most of the Royal Academy. He particularly enjoys Marie’s suffering. He doesn't like to kill at least.
* SarcasmMode: Tends to get into this when talking about himself, like saying that he never lies, or that he’s a shy, pure, and kind boy.
* SeriousBusiness: Tea, and tea parties.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Leon's preferred gun for fighting on foot, is a shotgun he bought off an air-ship crewman, whose pellets he [[TrickBullet enhances with magic.]]
* SlasherSmile: Often makes these, described as his eyes and mouth making a crescent shape.
* SpannerInTheWorks: His decision to intervene with Angie's challenge towards Marie and defeating all five of her suitors winds up derailing several key events and plots, as otherwise events would have continued as they would in the game should Olivia had done so instead. Some of the changes are for the better and some for the worse.
** Likewise, his presence alone throws a huge one in Volume 4 when it comes to [[spoiler:Leila's plans for Noelle, as he winds up becoming not only her LoveInterest, but also the Guardian of the Sacred Tree sapling.]]
** Him obtaining Luxion turns out to be best for everyone, based on the Marie Route WhatIf: [[spoiler: If Luxion and the Saintess Anne meet, it would cause an EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt due to their interest aligning: Total Destruction of the Holfort Kingdom and annihilation of the New Humans.]]
* SpringtimeForHitler: A RunningGag. His attempts to get demoted inevitably end up getting him promoted.
* StressVomit: Killing people tends to make him do this.
* StrongButUnskilled: Leon is the first to admit he's not particularly skilled in combat due to Luxion's massive technological edge, he borderline untouchable. [[spoiler:The Black Knight is the first opponent where Leon struggles with despite having the Arroganz. And once the Black Knight gets his own Lost Technology armor, Leon is barely able to survive before Luxion is able to upgrade the Arroganz.]]
* TallPoppySyndrome: Gets hit hard by this in the third volume, where after repeatedly failing to stay under the radar and pin his successes on the five princes, his number of political enemies reaches critical mass.
* UsefulNotes/TeaAndTeaCulture: Quickly develops a passion for this, and considers it his only hobby.
* TeamDad: Eventually starts to look like this, especially with regard to Kyle. The five princes also end up making requests to him as if he was their father. Leon is mentally twice their age.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: Eventually starts to have insomnia and other post-traumatic stress symptoms from having killed someone he knew.
* TheTeetotaler: Which seems to be based on left over values from his previous life in Japan.
* ThickerThanWater: One of the main things keeping Leon from accepting Hertrude's WeCanRuleTogether offers is his connection to (the good part) of his second-life family.
* ThinkNothingOfIt: Leon has a sense of responsibility and familial piety that lets him justify his good deeds as merely doing what’s expected of him, and combined with his low self-esteem and thinking he could only succeed due to Luxion or others aid, leads to this.
* TranquilFury: Leon has a tendency of holding back, to avoid attracting too much attention or having to work too much. He breaks past this when angry enough, to terrifying results. Leon is at his most cold and calculating when like this.
* TraumaButton: Leaving Holfort Kingdom reveals a major one: He grew so used to being [[RichBitch treated like a servant and abused]] by noblewomen for eleven plus years, that seeing women be regularly caring and helpful like in his old world, makes him cry spontaneously.
* TrickBullet: His preferred weapons are guns that shoot rubber bullets or shells, magically enhanced to put enemies to sleep, or [[ElementalPowers elemental effects]].
* {{Troll}}: Leon has made it clear he absolutely enjoys messing with the people he hates or the people that hate him. That's his reasoning for why he wanted to win the air-bike competition in the second volume; as Luxion stated he really doesn't need the money but he wants to make the students that hate him sad that he won again.
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Leon loves doing this, especially to the five princes who drove him to so much frustration playing the dating sim, and talked down to him so much before.
* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler:After he learned that Marie made Angelica and Olivia bow for her help, he tried to behead her even after learning that she's his past life's sister.]]
* UnwantedHarem: After the events of volume 2 and his further promotion plenty of noblewomen want his hand in marriage, Leon is completely annoyed not only how shallow they are but they're still arrogant in their demands. [[spoiler:Even the two women he does love, he's uncomfortable by their affections as he thinks they're too good for him.]]
* WallPinOfLove: Leon does this while pleading for Queen Mylene’s help, making [[LuminescentBlush her blush]] and give in, before asking him to step back.
* WeDoTheImpossible: ExploitedTrope. Leon uses his victories against the odds, as a key element of persuasion to get ReluctantWarrior allies to fight alongside him. Later on, Angie actually repeats the tactic, invoking Leon to [[RousingSpeech rouse]] their ally’s morale.
* WhatDoesHeSeeInHer: How Leon reacts when hearing the dateable cast gushing about Marie.
* {{Whoring}}: InUniverse, Luxion accuses Leon of doing this by avoiding challenging the Academy’s dungeon more than necessary until he got an AmplifierArtifact charm, after witnessing him donate a huge amount of cash to a shrine that gave benefits in the game. Leon denies doing so, but then later admits to [[{{Munchkin}} only learning]] the most useful magical spells, such as his [[TrickBullet bullet enhancing]] magic.
* WhoWritesThisCrap: About the otome game’s setting that’s become his reality being too dark and intricate for its genre. His biggest gripe however, is with the [[NintendoHard combat difficulty.]]
* YankTheDogsChain: Leon [[KickedUpstairs getting promoted]], tends to hit him like this.
* ZeroApprovalGambit: Leon wanted to be expelled from the Academy to free himself from marriage hunting [[IJustWantToBeNormal and other noble responsibilities]]. [[SpringtimeForHitler Unfortunately for him]], in trying to prevent his family from suffering retribution by securing the help of an already aggrieved against the crown Duke Redgrave, he is instead knighted and promoted, in part to placate said Duke. In the aftermath, Leon revels in making those that [[HeroWithBadPublicity hate him]] suffer more, which [[CycleOfRevenge only makes the hatred grow]].

!!Luxion
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YusukeShirai (''Drama CD'')
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luxion.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Artificially Intelligent Servant]]
-->''"I will respect my master who has obtained my ability and wholeheartedly decides to be a shut-in. No ambitions, and selfish. An admirable human."''
An A.I. space ship that Leon found while searching for the game’s cheat item out of desperation. Luxion is an ancient being from a long dead civilization of seemingly future earth, from which he holds many grudges, only trusting Leon because he knows a language and has some DNA from said dead civilization. Luxion is snarky and likes to tease, while being zealously protective of Leon, following him around with a spherical drone while keeping his main body out of sight to hide the true extent of his power.
->For Luxion's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
----
* ItAmusedMe: His stated motivation in serving Leon. He did sit in a hangar for thousands of years, which Leon muses to have been a sad fate.
* AnimalMotifs: Designs his creations to look like swordfish. This may be for practical reasons, as he [[RammingAlwaysWorks likes to ram them into things.]]
* BeamSpam: His main body can fire HomingLasers like this.
* BerserkButton: Really doesn't like it when other people disparage his creations.
** [[LivingWeapon Still living war machines]], left over from the New Human factions he once fought, make him spout the AI equivalent of {{Angrish}}.
* BribingYourWayToVictory: Luxion was a paid item in the original otome game.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: How Luxion reacts when [[spoiler:Ideal is surprised that his [[VitriolicBestBuds fierce argument]] with Leon didn’t mean he was willing to betray him.]]
* ChameleonCamouflage: Uses this all the time, especially when gathering information. Due to this, it's the middle of the second volume before he first converses with anyone besides Leon.
* ChekhovsSkill: Luxion shows he is able to adjust his sphere’s trajectory mid-air when Leon throws it at Loic, since it would have missed otherwise. Later, [[spoiler: Luxion does the same thing when Leon is dueling Pierre who’s wielding the stolen Arroganz, diverting Pierre’s attacks away from an unarmored Leon.]]
* CombatPragmatist: To the point Luxion finds the word coward as praise as it sees no value in giving the enemy any advantage at all.
* CoolStarship: His main body.
* CutenessProximity: When people besides Leon eventually see Luxion's drone that follows him around, they tend to react like this.
* DisproportionateRetribution. An Alzer patrol officer insults Luxion's creation, the CoolAirship Einhorn, during an inspection. Luxion later [[spoiler: shoots down the officer's patrol ship, shoots his lifeboat, and terrorizes him by bombarding the area he landed.]]
* DoAnythingRobot: More precisely, a ''make anything'' robot. This is because he has technology advanced enough to [[{{Transmutation}} transmute rocks into gold]] if he wants.
* DoesNotLikeMagic: Describes deep-seated programming similar to instinct making him feel this way. As well, there is the fact that his creators and their entire civilization were wiped out by magic users.
* DopeSlap: Luxion sometimes uses electric shocks on Leon as a form of this.
* DroneDeployer: His main body, the [[CoolAirship Cool Airships]] he creates, and Arroganz, are each equipped with AttackDrone, and in the case of the former two, robotic 'crew'. As well, Luxion manages a network of SurveillanceDrone, which the sphere that follows Leon around is a variant of.
* FakeDefector: [[spoiler:When Pierre wins the Einhorn as a result of a bet, Luxion claims as a result he is also loyal to Pierre. In truth, this is so Luxion can dig deeper into the affairs of the Alzer Republic and be in a position to undermine Pierre.]]
* TheGadfly: Best shown when he equips Leon's mech with a shovel during his 5-on-1 with the dateable cast, claiming that it was "[[ExactWords Leon's special weapon]]."
* GenreSavvy: When they first meet as enemies, Luxion has a shield that counteracts Leon's magic rifle. When Leon says that its unfair, Luxion counteract [[CombatPragmatist that it needs to always be prepared]].
* {{Hologram}}: Can casually make these, as easily as a modern device can display 2d images.
* KillAllHumans: Luxion hates all "New Humans" due to being made by the former humans and sees no issue with killing them all. The only reason Leon isn't a target is because Leon somehow has some "Old Human" DNA mixed in.
* MaliciousSlander: After Leon throws his drone at Loic, he holds a grudge and gets revenge by exagerrating Leon's "sins" to others.
* MoralityChain: His repeated requests to go on a genocidal rampage suggest Leon being his master is what keeps him a BenevolentAI. Although, Luxion clearly shows consideration for New Humans besides Leon, and goes against his wishes for their benefit multiple times.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Considering that most of the problems are caused by the "[[WitchSpecies New Humans]]", Luxion often suggests wiping them out them as soon as possible.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: In the [[FortuneTeller elven fortuneteller's]] predictions, he's called the ''Demon Lord''.
* PhlebotinumBreakdown: Distance and certain interference can put Leon out of contact with him.
* TheRemnant: Of Old Humanity. With his ''instinct'' programming him to violently hate all of the remnants of the civilization that destroyed said {{Precursors}}.
* RoboticPsychopath: DownplayedTrope, of the HeroicComedicSociopath variety. He's mostly [[MurderIsTheBestSolution all talk]]. The [[JustifiedTrope justification]] for this, is his FantasticRacism against the [[WitchSpecies New Humans]] who destroyed his creator's civilization, with all named characters being their descendants.
* SapientShip: That was trapped in a hangar by his programming for millenia, with civilizations rising and falling, until Leon became his master.
* ServileSnarker: Just because Luxion works for a New Human, doesn't mean he won't find excuses to talk smack to them.
* ShinyLookingSpaceships: His ship’s design is sleek and curvy.
* ShipperOnDeck: Puts Leon through a somewhat sadistic BatmanGambit, to get [[spoiler: Angelica and Olivia to accept Noelle, and Leon, being together.]]
* SmokeOut: Uses smoke to blend his main body in with the clouds when lending fire support.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: Who ''thinks'' he's an OnlySaneMan, but he's too much of a RoboticPsychopath for that.
* SoullessShell: The drone he uses to talk to Leon becomes a glorified Siri when it [[PhlebotinumBreakdown loses contact]] with his main body.
* StarterVillain: Shares this title with the Zola, who wanted to buy Leon, as Leon sought to use Luxion to escape that fate.
* SufficientlyAdvancedTechnology: His capabilities are often mistaken for magic, which he [[MagicVersusScience hates and corrects vigorously.]]
* SuperSenses: Allowing him to read sealed letters, medically scan others from a distance, and determine the authenticity of items magical and mundane.
* ToughLove: Tries to get Leon to improve himself with this, mocking him for his flaws. Although he clearly [[TheGadfly enjoys messing with]] Leon for its own sake as well.
* {{Transmutation}}: Him being equipped with SufficientlyAdvancedTechnology to do this is in part what makes him so powerful. He has it because he was designed to transport WarRefugees offworld.
* TheUnmasking: [[spoiler: In Volume 7, he finally reveals his main body to the world to heal a critically injured Noelle, and [[TheGlovesComeOff use]] his WaveMotionGun against the second game’s FinalBoss.]]
* VideoPhone: His drones can serve as these, much to [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny the distraction]] of the five princes.
* VitriolicBestBuds: While they have their serious fights, this is ultimately his relationship to Leon.
* VolleyingInsults: A common occurrence with Leon.
* WaveMotionGun: How his main body doles out enough firepower to sink floating islands. It was considered state-of-the-art in his time.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He puts Leon, Olivia, and Angelica through quite a bit of suffering [[spoiler: by arranging it [[NotWhatItLooksLike to look like]] the two caught Leon cheating, both to secure the [[WorldTree Sacred Tree sapling]] as a sample, and [[ShipperOnDeck to resolve]] Leon and Noelle's hidden feelings for one another.]] Not that he doesn't get sadistic enjoyment out of it, after Leon [[FastballSpecial threw his drone at Loic]].
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Leon and some others express this about his dynamic with Leon in the Alzer Republic.

!!Olivia
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YumiriHanamori (''Drama CD'')
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/livia.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The Destined Saint]]
-->''“Perhaps you love Marie, your Highness the crown prince. But, but! Angelica loves you! After all, she has been watching this fight while looking pained the entire time! It may have been hard for her, but she kept watching with a sad expression while not looking away! You can’t say that isn’t love!”''
The ''otome game's'' protagonist. An awkward and naive bookworm, who excels in intellect and magic, but struggles with the harsh realities surrounding her. Over the course of the game, she was supposed to rise from poverty to sainthood, and protect the kingdom from its final boss with the help of ThePowerOfLove and her LoveInterests. However, Marie took all of that from her, [[HostileShowTakeover becoming the protagonist]] in her stead. This leads to Leon helping Olivia out of pity, and with his help, she befriends instead of clashing with the game’s villainess, Angelica.
-> For Olivia's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
----
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Has shades of this. She is quite interested in the history of the world and how dungeons and stuff works.
* AffectionateNickname: ''Livia''.
* AllLovingHero: Starts off like this, while constantly being bombarded with harsh reality, and tending to blame herself instead of others. Despite undergoing a BreakTheCutie arc, and showing she doesn’t like the five, Livia puts her nature as this to use [[spoiler: using the AmplifierArtifact on the Royal Airship to stop the war,]] afterwards continuing to be a counterpoint to Angie’s more ruthless instincts.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Marie. [[spoiler:They possess the same aptitude to be Saints, but Olivia is superior to her in every way including her CompellingVoice.]]
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:She gives one to Leon during their heated exchange after he rescues her from being thrown off the ship in the second volume.]]
* TheArchmage: Seems to be evolving into this in the later volumes, as a result of uninterrupted study and a desire to hold her own alongside Leon and Angie, able to take others into the SpiritWorld.
* BadassBookworm: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], in that her main area of study is magic, which she has a natural born talent for (being descended from the first saintess). She only [[LetsGetDangerous starts to show off her skill]], once Leon and Angie are both in serious danger.
* BarrierWarrior: She manages to protect an airship by projecting a barrier, though doing so exhausts her. It stems from being the [[SecretLegacy saint's descendant]].
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She falls for Leon because he helped her when everyone else either bullied her or ignored her.
* BreakTheCutie: Starting in Volume 2, when the words of [[TheBully Earl Olfrey's daughter]] convince her that Leon and Angie see her as nothing but a pet and that she's unable to return their favors. Hearing Brad, supposedly the most powerful magician in the Academy, compare [[LikeAGodToMe her magic to a goddess]], gives her back some self-confidence, and she resolves to use her magical talent to [[LetsGetDangerous prove her worth in battle alongside Leon and Angie.]]
* BullyMagnet: Due to being a commoner surrounded by RoyalBrat nobles, and associated with Leon (the [[HeroWithBadPublicity most hated person in the Academy]]).
* CommutingOnABus: For the fourth and fifth volumes, to make way for the second game’s cast.
* CompellingVoice: She has a supernatural ability to get people to listen to her and go along with her desires. It even works on machines and AI. [[spoiler:It is this ability combined with the Royal Ship, Weiss, that the FinalBoss can been be defeated in the game, as she can pretty much cause every single combatant on the battlefield to stop fighting. Leon and Luxion note that had the Royal Ship not been destroyed in the final battle she'd very likely be assassinated because of how dangerous the combination is.]]
* CuteBookworm: The original cute protagonist who is also quite the nerd too with Leon realizing she's smart enough to point out the mistakes of the textbooks.
* TheCutie: Very charming and sweet, but also acting like [[SpoiledSweet coddled and naive child]]. This charm combined with her general innocence, especially contrasting to the [[RoyalBrat brattiness and meanness]] of the noble girls filling the Kingdom, is what makes her attract Leon, and originally the capture targets (this is [[BitchInSheepsClothing imitated by Marie]] when interacting with them).
* DiskOneNuke: Due to her having a much easier time studying, together with Leon, instead of having the princes take up all of her time, she’s able to use [[OneWomanArmy end-game]] magic [[TookALevelInBadass years before]] she could in the game.
* DontYouDarePityMe: After Earl Olfrey's daughter convinces her that Leon and Angelica only see her as a pet, and she has a HeroicBSOD, this is the gist of what she tells Leon.
* ElementalMotifs: Blue eyes for water. Calm, gentle and healing but can also be destructive and dangerous when needed as shown when she [[LetsGetDangerous gets dangerous]] against the Principality.
* FishOutOfWater: A commoner originally and is thus quite lost on noble social etiquette until Leon's sister gives her a few tips.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Blonde, with her innocence being a [[WideEyedIdealist massive contrast to her environment]].
* HealingHands: She's able to heal others, which is a rare ability that very few people have in the world. It stems from her SecretLegacy of being descendant from The first Saintess. Olivia is essentially a magic prodigy, but there are limits as to what she can heal.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She starts to fall into this in the second volume as she wonders if she can truly be equals with Leon and Angelica.
* HeterosexualLifePartner: Olivia is extremely close with Angelica as her first friend of the same gender. [[spoiler:They get so close that they're willing to share Leon. It also goes to the point that they are attracted not only to Leon but also to each other that in order to comfort themselves due to Leon's absence is by kissing and making out .]]
* HiddenDepths: While Olivia is a very sweet girl, she makes it clear that she doesn't like everyone. Pointing out she doesn't think highly of the dateable cast due to their personality flaws to Leon's delight.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Olivia cannot see herself as worthy for Leon because she is a commoner, thinking that Angelica is a better match than her.
* LetsGetDangerous: Livia spends the early part of the series as TheCutie and against confrontation, but after being [[BreakTheCutie broken down by bullying]], and then [[LikeAGodToMe compared to a goddess]] for her magical talents, she resolves to use them to prove her worth. When seeing Angie and Leon both captured, with Leon about to be beaten to death, Livia decides to fight for the first time. Soon after, she shows off [[OneManArmy the power]] that all of her [[BadassBookworm time studying ahead]] of her peers has [[TookALevelInBadass granted her]].
* MagicMissileStorm: To say she can make a ''storm'' of them is no exaggeration.
* MindRape: [[spoiler:Mixing her compelling voice with the Royal Ship, Weiss essentially forces everyone to feel Olivia's feelings. Leon, Bandel and Hertrude outright state how disturbing this power is as override their emotions and free will.]]
* TheMistress: [[spoiler: Officially engaged to Leon to become this; since it's Angie that's engaged as the [[TopWife Legal Wife]], she [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship doesn't mind]].]]
* MoralityChain: Her friendship helps calm Angie's [[HairTriggerTemper fiery temper]], and Olivia helped talk her out of [[spoiler: trying to forcibly take Noelle to the Kingdom, to secure the benifits of the Sacred Tree sapling.]]
* NiceGirl: One of the reasons Leon falls for her is how genuinely nice she is. Marie, on the other hand, dislikes this aspect of her.
* TheNicknamer: Dubs Luxion ''Lux'', and Claire ''Are-chan''.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Can behave just as foolishly as the Five Idiots, as displayed when [[spoiler: [[TeamworkSeduction she and Angelica]] make an EpicFail of an attempt at seducing Leon.]] Only to have all the flaws in the plan pointed out by [[OnlySaneMan Noelle]], who didn't even know that this was their [[CallBack second attempt]] at the same plan.
* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]]: Once she [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]], her magic can turn the tide of entire battles, [[spoiler: ultimately being what wins the war against the Principality, when it's [[AmplifierArtifact amplified by]] the Royal Airship.]]
* OnlyOneName: Due to being a commoner. Likely inspired by the fact that only nobles had a family names in pre-industrial Japan.
* PennyAmongDiamonds: She is the lone commoner attending an academy that is otherwise full of children of noble backgrounds. [[spoiler:Her being allowed to attend the academy is in fact the first step of a long term plan of the Holfort Kingdom to educate the common people and dilute the power of the nobility. As such in her second year Olivia is dealing with newcomer commoner students.]]
* PersonalityPowers: Kind and naive, and an expert in WhiteMagic.
* SatelliteCharacter: Arguably falls into this after the third volume, almost never having a scene away from Angelica.
* ScholarshipStudent: She is one officially.
* SpoiledSweet: Downplayed, of the naive and coddled variety. She mostly just acts this way with Leon, who indulges her (although, she did slap the Crown Prince in the otome game and Marie Route). It's part of her overall [[TheCutie childish innocence]].
* SuddenlySuitableSuitor: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. In the otome game plot, her being revealed as a descendant of the original saintess, was to take her from being a commoner it'd be a scandal to marry, into being of ''higher'' status than her five suitors, equated to a demigod. The problem is that Leon, as a status conscious noble much lower than the five, knows this, and combined with his [[HeroicSelfDeprecation inferiority complex]], there are multiple hurdles between Livia and him.
* SupernaturalFloatingHair: When preparing to travel into the SpiritWorld.
* TheTeetotaler: Which saves her from [[spoiler: [[SlippingAMickey being roofied]] by Aaron with the intention [[AttemptedRape of raping her]]. Not that Claire would have let it go that far.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Leon notes when [[LetsGetDangerous she gets serious about fighting]] in volume 2, that she is much more powerful magic-wise than she should have been at that point in the game. Spending her time with Leon, allowed her to study her passion, magic, to her hearts content. Which eventually, leads to her seeming like TheArchmage.
* TheUnsmile: When really jealous, Olivia does a very unnerving smile.
* WeightWoe: Olivia is a bit self-conscious of her appearance and can be envious of the other students due to their figures.
* WideEyedIdealist: The fact she's dependent on the good will of nobles to survive at the Academy, is a reality that [[BreakTheCutie comes crashing down]] on her. Despite that, she sticks to her principles after recovering from a HeroicBSOD, and helps rein in Angie's temper.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: After having a fight with Leon, accusing him of just seeing her as a pet. He starts calling her Olivia rather than Livia. She takes that as a sign he now hates her, where he feels like he has been doing more harm in helping her and is trying to distance himself from her.
* AndYourLittleDogToo: Since she's from a commoner family, and surrounded by nobles, bullies have a tendancy of threatening her family and/or hometown in order to coerce her.

This is the end of the line for you."''
Originally the antagonist of the ''otome game''. She was raised from birth to be a suitable queen, being betrothed to the crown prince Julius, and expected the same standards of him as she does of herself. This would put Angelica into conflict with the game’s protagonist, a position [[HostileShowTakeover stolen by Marie]], trying to keep her fiance from cheating on her. Angelica was destined for disaster from her own hotheadedness, until Leon volunteered as her duel champion, saving her, and sparking her friendship with him and Olivia.
->For Angelica's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
----
* AffectionateNickname: ''Angie''.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She becomes good friends with Olivia due to Olivia consoling her after her engagement with Julius fell through.
* BerserkButton: As the unnamed earl's daughter can attest, do ''not'' threaten Olivia or Leon when Angelica is around, you will be lucky to just get away with a [[NasalTrauma broken nose]].
* CatFight: Angelica has a tendency of arguing with Clarice and Deirdre over whose family Leon should marry into.
* ChildhoodFriends: SubvertedTrope: Angie had friends from childhood come to the Academy with her as followers, which didn't keep them [[FairWeatherFriend from abandoning her when she challenged Marie.]] A small sidestory also shows her female followers kept her from visiting food stands and other activities, furthering the gap between her and Julius. [[spoiler: Some of these female childhood friends try to [[FrameUp frame her as being a Principality spy]]. Vince and Gilbert seem to [[AmbiguousSituation have something brutal in mind]] for them, after they were caught and exposed by Leon.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: SubvertedTrope. Prince Julius, is simultaneously running away from all his duties and responsibilities as heir, and essentially cheating on her with a woman who has four other boyfriends. From Leon's point of view, Angelica is the victim, not Marie.
** Subverted yet again later, when Angelica actually [[spoiler: tells Leon to get engaged to Noelle instead of herself, for the strategic interests of their country.]]
* CommonalityConnection: Despite [[NobleBigot her classism]] making her cold to Olivia at first, the two bond over their mutual admiration for Leon, who she knows from his fame as an adventurer.
* CommutingOnABus: For the fourth and fifth volumes, to make way for the second game’s cast.
* DeathGlare: Angelica specializes in giving these. Deirdre finds it [[PowerfulPeopleAreSubs enjoyable]].
* DesignatedVillain: Her original role in the game, as the one who would normally oppose Olivia for undermining her engagement to Julius. Leon later [[InvokedTrope acknowledges that from an outside perspective]], anyone would have gotten angry if put in her shoes. Likewise, many of the things she's accused of are not directly her fault. The people who harassed Marie and Olivia did so without her permission, but used her as an excuse when confronted by others. Since some of those people were followers of hers as well, she had to take responsibility.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: A flaw caused by her hotheadedness. Exemplified by challenging Marie to a duel without thinking who would accept on her behalf which was all of the capture targets. In the original game it results in her being banished and she only avoids it by Leon's interference.
** In the second volume, [[spoiler: offering herself up as a hostage impulsively turns out to be this, since the Principality decides to just execute the other students instead of letting them go like she wanted.]]
* DisposableFiance: DeconstructedTrope. Angelica's role in the Otome Game is a classic example. Leon [[DiscussedTrope points out]], how she is a DesignatedVillain and how the game had ProtagonistCenteredMorality. She never actually ordered Marie bullied like she was accused of, and is worried about the effect Julius rash actions will have on his future rule, which he [[RebelPrince is indifferent to]].
* EarAche: Grabs Leon by his ears when sufficently angry with him.
* ElementalMotifs: Red eyes for fire. Her powers revolved on using fire magic, her fondness for the color red, passionate and warm but also representing jealousy, destructiveness, and rage (the latter shown more in the Marie Route).
* EvilLaugh: After Leon easily wins his first match, she lets one out when realizing [[ThePlan Leon's plan]] is to take all the student's money by betting on himself.
* FallenPrincess: She fits quite well, with her fall being her challenging Marie and Julius breaking her engagement, after which she TookALevelInKindness. It's PlayedWith in two ways:
** Angelica's pre-fall habits came back to bite her, when [[TheBully a bully]] drives Olivia and her apart by bringing up the things she'd used to say about commoners, resulting in Angelica [[HeroicSelfDeprecation feeling immensely guilty]], and Olivia feeling like she's nothing more than a pet to her.
** Despite Angelica herself going through the transformation, her noble house still retains a good deal of power. In fact, Angelica's father acts as a sort of PoisonousFriend, crushing the households of those who cross her and her friends.
* FanGirl: She's a subdued one for Leon before getting to know him, thanks to his fame from discovering a floating island and clearing it’s dungeon by himself. This earned her respect in part because her father is an accomplished adventurer, and Leon implying she's weak while dueling Greg adds to her HeroicSelfDeprecation.
* FlawExploitation: Marie plays into her HairTriggerTemper to trigger her duel challenge event more than a year before it was supposed to occur, to get Angelica out of her way. And it would have worked, if not for Leon’s intervention.
* GenreSavvy: She expects Leon to have knowledge that he logically shouldn’t have from everyone else’s perspective. Due to him repeatedly sharing such knowlege he has from the game.
* GreenEyedEpiphany: DownplayedTrope. In a sidestory showing Angie's point of view at their marriage shrine visit, she imagines [[TheMatchmaker playing matchmaker]] to relieve Leon's desperation for a wife, but when she starts imagining other women married to him, it makes her feel bad, to her own surprise.
* HairTriggerTemper: One of Angelica's flaws is her quick temper which nearly lead to Marie disgracing her if not for Leon's actions. She is able to calm down her temper as the series continues.
* HandsOnApproach: Touches Livia wherever she wants, when teaching her horseback riding.
* HeterosexualLifePartner: Angelica is extremely close with Olivia as one of her friends she made herself instead of being forced upon by her family. [[spoiler:They get so close that they're willing to share Leon]].
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: After her relationship with Julius breaks down, she thinks of herself as a evil woman and even calls herself that.
* IfIWantedYouDead: Leon's sister points out that back when she was at her full authority that if she wanted to crush Marie she could have outright had her killed due to her family's connections. Leon recognizes from that she wasn't nearly as bad as she seemed, which influenced his decision to act as her representative.
* IHatePastMe: Deeply regrets her past beliefs on commoners and hates that it caused a rift between her and Olivia.
* InterClassFriendship: As the daughter of a Duke, she is one step below Royalty. Her being friends with a commoner and a baron (Livia and Leon), is unusual, and it’s shown clearly that [[FallenPrincess before her fall]], it’d of never happened.
* LoveHurts: Angelica genuinely loves Julius but is forced to see him openly flirting with Marie throughout volume one before he openly states that he only loves Marie and cannot love her.
* MaidCorps: She brings one from her duke household with her when she stays at Leon’s home, and tells them to stand down to let her share experiences with him and Livia. A good chunk of them consisted of vassal daughters, with a number of Angie’s followers being drawn from them. [[spoiler: This leaves the Duke’s family short on help after [[PoisonousFriend Vince purges]] those vassals whose children double-crossed Angie on the luxury liner.]]
* NobleBigot: A lot nicer than most other nobility but still looks down on commoners with her saying Olivia doesn't belong in the academy when they first meet but is fine with her staying as long as she stays in her corner. She does [[IHatePastMe get better]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: Angelica tries to act polite and civil as a woman of her status but even she gets excited over the idea of finding treasure in a cave.
** Later gives the Five Idiots a run for their money when attempting to [[spoiler: seduce Leon, [[TeamworkSeduction alongside Olivia]].]] Only to have all the flaws in the plan pointed out by [[OnlySaneMan Noelle]], who didn't even know that this was their [[CallBack second attempt]] at the same plan.
* PersonalityPowers: She struggles with a HairTriggerTemper, and uses fire magic.
* PlayingWithFire: She reveals her fire spells in the second volume when protecting Olivia.
* PrimAndProperBun: Fitting with Angelica's original strict personality, her finally LettingHerHairDown signifies that she TookALevelInKindness.
* RousingSpeech: Gives one in the seventh volume, [[InvokedTrope Invoking]] how Leon can seemingly [[WeDoTheImpossible do the impossible]].
* SayingTooMuch: Her accidentily revealing the [[KingIncognito incognito Queen’s]] identity results in Leon going on a rampage, using her defence as justification.
* TheScapegoat: For many of the noble girls bullying Marie out of jealousy of the attention she gets from the princes, saying they were just following Angelica's instructions, which Julius believes.
* SecondLove: [[spoiler:She falls for Leon after getting over Julius.]]
* ShelteredAristocrat: Has never been to a food stand, and Livia has to explain to her what earth-worms are.
* SpoiledSweet: Despite being a the daughter of a duke, Angelica is very reasonable even willing to turn a blind eye to Olivia in volume one.
* SympathyForTheDevil: Feels sorry for some of the defeated villains.
* TookALevelInKindness: Angelica really calms down after befriending Leon and Olivia, unlike how cold she was in the first volume.
* TraumaButton: Due to Marie stealing Julius away, Angelica is very sensitive to the idea she might be cheated on again.
* {{Unishment}}: Her father punishes her for [[spoiler: [[KneelBeforeZod publicky kowtowing]] to Marie to beg for her help, by arranging Angie's marriage to Leon, with Livia to be his mistress.]]
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Leon convinces her of this, that it would at best end in PyrrhicVillainy, and that the best way to get even with Julius is to live happily without him. [[spoiler: In the third volume, Julius is shocked by her smile when talking about Leon, since she had never smiled like that for him.]]
* WomanScorned: Not only hurt but also insulted by Julius displaying his relationship with Marie in front of her. She tries to force them apart though despite Julius' beliefs she never resorts to bullying her.
* YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith: Tells this multiple times to Earl Olfrey's daughter, the first time for having ordered her Exclusive Servants to assault the Queen of Holfort who [[KingIncognito was incognito]], and the second time for underestimating her own and Leon's ability to retaliate against her.

! Marie and her Reverse Harem
[[folder:Marie Fou Lafan]]
!!Marie Fou Lafan
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AtsumiTanezaki (''Drama CD'')
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marie_8.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Don't be fooled by that cute exterior]]
-->''“Hehe, this world really is the best. It’s splendid that there are few dull boys like the ones in my previous world, and that this world rightly recognizes the rights of women.”''
A manipulative fellow reincarnator who serves as TheRival to Leon. Whereas Leon tries to stay out of the way of the ''otome game'' plot as much as possible, Marie decides to take full advantage of her game knowledge to immediately seduce all of the capture targets, usurping Olivia as protagonist. Marie's schemes being at the expense of Olivia and Angelica, as well as Marie's similarity to his past life little sister, earns her Leon's enmity, triggering Leon's first direct intervention in the game plot.
->For Marie's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: The manga adaptation does this moderately to Marie compared to the Light Novels. Additional InnerMonologue lines are given to make her more of a HateSink, such as being excited to receive a slave. Some sympathy earning moments, such as her having to explain to the princes that she cannot afford a dress, are cut as well.
* AintTooProudToBeg: Repeatedly to Leon, which he seems to enjoy making her do.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: [[spoiler: By the end of Volume 3 she has no choice but to admit that Olivia is this to her. She technically meets all the qualifications to be a Saint between HealingHands and having a SecretLegacy, which is why the Holy Relics recognize her. However, both of her ties are objectively weaker than Olivia and she doesn't have the courage nor the CompellingVoice Olivia does, meaning that when it came to facing down the FinalBoss she was ultimately unable to succeed.]]
* AuthorAppeal: Created as part of author Mishima Yomu's ongoing hatred of the [[spoiler: LittleSisterHeroine ]] archetype, best exemplified by Celes in his Sevens series. Marie is written with several traits that otaku commonly dislike in women, and yet to the author's frustration, she's the franchise's most popular character.
* BarrierWarrior: She can project a magical barrier to fend off monsters. Can also make a smaller ones [[BulletDodgesYou to stop bullets]].
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Gets all the capture targets to fall madly in love with her to the point that they give up their inheritance to be with her after Leon defeats them. Which forces her to basically take care of them by herself.
* BigBrotherWorship: Deep, deep, ''[[NeverMyFault deep]]'' down she absolutely idolized her past life brother, so much so that she never really got over her reliance on him even after she died and was reincarnated. [[spoiler: She was even willing to give up the five datable cast, the Holy Relics, and everything else she had to Olivia in exchange for him once she learned he had been reincarnated as Leon.]]
* BigEater: Leon wonders where she fits it all.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Marie starts out spending most of her time impersonating Olivia's personality, to charm and wrap the five dateable cast around her little finger, while her InnerMonologue show her true colors. [[CharacterDevelopment Eventually, Marie develops]] and [[spoiler: drops the facade during a HeroicBSOD, due to nearly being [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]] for being a fake saint, but her grip on the five's hearts is too tight for them to mind. She also TookALevelInKindness, after reconciling with her past-life brother Leon.]]
* BrattyHalfPint: She looks like an adorable child. She's actually an ''[[BitchInSheepsClothing utter bitch]]'' when you hear [[InnerMonologue her thoughts]]. As her WhatIf side story reveals, her body is small because she inadvertently sacrificed her future growth just to tap into her potential for HealingMagic.
* BreakoutCharacter: The author held a poll to determine which character to write a WhatIf side story about, and much to the author's surprise, Marie won overwhelmingly. Thus she became {{Deuteragonist}} of Marie Route.
* BrokenAce: Marie was a Straight-A student in her past life (and is implied to be one in her current life), but her life came crashing down the moment her older brother died, which showed her the bitter reality of how much she had been relying on him.
* BurnTheWitch: [[spoiler: Very nearly meets this fate, after admitting to not being the real saint after she fails to stop the Principality’s second invasion with Frampton's fleet, while the princes were preoccupied rescuing Leon. Leon convinces the crown to rescue her because he needs her magical power.]]
* CatFight: {{Subverted}}. The hair-pulling fights she gets into with Leila are ''not'' pretty.
* CharacterDevelopment: Marie's BitchInSheepsClothing tendencies slowly tones down due to the constant stress of dealing with the five capture targets and PerpetualPoverty, and ''finally'' becomes a pretty likable character [[spoiler: shortly after she and Leon find out about their past life's connection as siblings.]]
* CuteBruiser: Prefers to fight using [[MagicEnhancement magically enhanced]] punches and kicks. Stems from her (second life's) [[HadToBeSharp rough childhood]].
* TheCynic: Being let down by most people over two separate lives made her into this.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Her biggest flaw is she never fully considers her actions and only thinks in short term. Her actions almost [[spoiler: destroy the Kingdom, forcing Leon to save the day despite the fact she technically knows more about the setting due to knowing about the various sequels to the game.]] Albeit, this only happened because she was LockedOutOfTheLoop.
* DomesticAbuse: The victim of it in her previous life. Her boyfriend at the time got violent with her and it directly resulted in her death. She's also able to recognize other victims of it.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: After two of her ReverseHarem become virtually nudists, this keeps her from too seriously [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn cracking down]] on them.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While Leon's [[TheRival Rival]], she never expected [[spoiler: someone as high of an authority as Angie to bow her head in public when she made the request.]] Even then, she's outright appalled by how fast the other students are to turn on people they once followed and respected, realizing that followers are [[FairWeatherFriend Fair Weather Friends]] at ''[[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder best]]''.
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: From two or three decades [[TaughtByExperience of cumulative hardship]], has learned to read people really well, and fast. The most notable example, is being able to accurately determine [[spoiler: the nature of Loic and Noelle's [[DomesticAbuse abusive relationship]].]]
* FemmeFatale: How she's percieved InUniverse, an easy misunderstanding considering how quickly she gained the affections five dateable cast. Among the nobility of the Kingdom, she is known as 'The Man-eating', and more than a few people have expressed that they are legitimately worried that Marie will seduce Leon like she did the five.
* FreudianExcuse: Since she was reborn, not only did her family neglect and abuse her emotionally and verbally (it's implied they were physically abusive as well), but they've also saddled her with the entirety of their debt to where she has struggled to afford new underclothes. It carried over from her previous life as well.
* FriendsAreChosenFamilyArent: Has a rough relationship with her (otome game world) family, so she’s closer to virtually anyone she gets along with in the story than them.
* GoldDigger: Part of her reason for going after the five datable cast. She would never have to worry about money again with them.
* MyGreatestFailure: Eventually sees her [[spoiler: having caused Leon’s death in their past-life]] as this.
* HardWorkHardlyWorks: It took her several years of training in secret to refine her HealingHands and other WhiteMagic to where they are and it [[PowerAtAPrice came at a price]], but compared to Olivia who has TheGift [[spoiler: and a CompellingVoice]], she just can't compete.
* HateAtFirstSight: The moment she sees Leon, she gets irritated as if looking at her dead older brother.
* HealingHands: Studied long and hard to be able to do this, in order to fulfil the game protagonist’s role. Unfortunately, she’s just not as good at it as Olivia, which prevents her from healing Jilk in time for the next airbike race after he was beat up in his first one, like Olivia did in the game.
* HerosMuse: The five princes talk about her like this during their RivalsTeamUp moments with Leon, which greatly irritates him.
* HiddenDepths: Marie will ''never'' gamble and believes that people should take control of their finances due to her own past experiences. She's also a very talented cook, homemaker, and survivalist.
* HijackedDestiny: Tries to do this to Olivia, becoming [[HostileShowTakeover the game’s protagonist.]] [[spoiler: Backfires spectacularly due to her not having all of Olivia’s magic abilities like she thought she did, and [[LockedOutOfTheLoop not having finished the game.]] She ends up nearly [[BurnTheWitch burnt at the stake]] for being a false saint, and Olivia halts the FinalBattle how she was supposed to in the game. Although, the last of the three FinalBoss is [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talked down by Marie]], so the results are mixed.]]
* HostileShowTakeover: Essentially did this to Olivia, becoming the game’s protagonist, as fast as her second scene, successfully shooing Olivia away from her destined events.
* HypocriticalHumor: After Leon won the Air Bike race, Jilk agreed to his promises to do whatever he requests. Kyle suggests he is going to tie him upside-down naked. Leon calls him out on that, but then backtracks when he realizes he could make a lot of money from such an event. This leads to Marie asking if he would really go that far for money, which Leon immediately calls her out on.
* IWasQuiteALooker: In her past-life, which contributed to her being a SpoiledBrat, and let her work at a hostess club.
* KneelBeforeZod: [[spoiler: When Angelica and Olivia ask for her help as Saintess to free Leon from his [[FrameUp unjust imprisonment]], she promises to help if they both kowtow to her in public, thinking Angelica would be too prideful to. When they actually do it, Marie has an OhCrap moment realizing this will earn Leon's UnstoppableRage (which it does), and the five princes take turns [[FailureHero attempting to]] free him.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler: The entire time, because she was only able to make it half-way through the game and watch the rest as pictures, she didn’t realize that only Olivia’s special CompellingVoice could defeat the Final Boss. If she’d have known that, she wouldn’t have replaced Olivia or became a false saint.]]
* MoneyFetish: Recieving money makes her very happy, due to her past.
* NeverMyFault: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With]]. In Marie's InnerMonologue, she constantly blames her past life brother for everything, [[spoiler: [[CharacterDevelopment at least at first]]. She gradually comes to the realization that he was actually the only person to genuinely look out for and care for her from her past life. The hatred was mostly driven by Leon's resemblence to her previous life brother combined with his antagonism towards her.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: As revealed in her WhatIf side story, her plan to usurp the protagonist role ends up benefiting Olivia in the long run as usurping protagonist's role actually allowed her to study to her heart's content, causing her skill in magic to improve at a faster rate than her game counterpart. [[spoiler: It also kept Olivia from getting [[DemonicPossession possessed]] by the vengeful soul of the First Saintess that was residing in the Saint's Bracelet.]]
* OhCrap: Is paralyzed shivering in terror when realizing [[spoiler: that Leon will go into an UnstoppableRage when he finds out she made Angie and Olivia publicly kowtow to her, which she didn't think they'd go through with.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: She's technically the same age as most of the cast she attends school with, but she looks far younger due to her diminutive size. Additionally, after hearing her full story in Marie Route, Leon suspects her past-life self was in her late-thirties or her fourties.
* ParentingTheHusband: In a nutshell, this is Marie’s relationship with the five princes after they get disinherited; trying and usually failing to curb their bad behavior (in particular, their spending).
* PerpetualPoverty: Marie’s is used as a RunningGag after her ReverseHarem of princes [[DisinheritedChild get disinherited]], since the five keep on [[MsRedInk spending it all on gifts to impress her]]. Her prideful family also press their gambling debts onto her.
* PetTheDog: Towards Kyle. She [[NiceToTheWaiter treated him well enough]] that, unlike his previous masters, he actually wants to stay with her. This despite how annoying Marie finds his DeadpanSnarker and BrutalHonesty tendencies.
** Again towards [[spoiler: Carla, giving her acceptance after Carla's parents [[DisinheritedChild disowned her]], and the rest of the academy ostracized her, for being TheMole for SkyPirates. Despite Marie's initial motivation being to irritate Leon by making Carla her follower.]]
** Marie also takes a liking to Noelle in Alzer, letting her live in her mansion, as well as doing everything she can to protect Noelle from her StalkerWithACrush Loic and her ShipperWithAnAgenda sister Leila. The latter of whom becomes somewhat of [[TheRival a rival]] to Marie, over it.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Through [[MagicEnhancement magically enhanced]] punches and kicks.
* PowerAtAPrice: Her gaining HealingHands came at a price. It cost her all of her body's potential to grow, meaning she'll be stuck at her current body size forever.
* PowerStereotypeFlip: She’s the opposite of what one would expect from a girl with HealingHands and BarrierWarrior magic.
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Dishes this out when she's finally had enough of the five [[MsRedInk plundering her savings]].
* QuitYourWhining: Her reaction to seeing Leon depressed.
* ReverseHarem: She managed to snag all five of the games dateable cast into one exceedingly fast. What comes ''after'', is [[WasItReallyWorthIt her true struggle]].
* TheRival: Collectively serves as this to Leon with the five princes, although they each [[RivalsTeamUp gradually team up]] with him against outside foes, [[spoiler: ending up as permenant allies after Marie discovers she was Leon’s past-life-sibling.]]
* [[RomanticWingman Romantic Wingwoman]]: Serves as this for Noelle after becoming friends with her, fending off her StalkerWithACrush and contriving date opportunities with the man she’s interested in. This puts Marie into conflict with Noelle’s HorribleJudgeOfCharacter sister Leila.
* RoundhouseKick: Tends to do these when gravely offended. She uses MagicEnhancement to make them [[CuteBruiser uncannily strong]].
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: She uses one when going dungeon crawling with only Kyle for support in Volume 2.
* SillyRabbitRomanceIsForKids: Her boyfriend abandoning her and her child in the past life gave her this viewpoint.
* TheSocialExpert: Fitting for someone who can seduce five people within a month, Marie is an ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter, and multiple times she [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath wins battles through dialogue.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: Leon interfering with her replacing Olivia in the game's story winds up turning the situation with this for several parties, ultimately causing the plot-line of the game to speed up drastically along with other changes.
* SpoiledBrat: Wants to live the decadent lives of the datable cast. When she finds them [[DisinheritedChild disowned]], and they decide to go dungeon hunting to make up for it, depriving her the luxury she sought, she turns into a StepfordSmiler to hide her pain while still manipulating them.
** When her backstory is explored, it turns out both of her lives ended up being a TraumaCongaLine, and she decided to live happily no matter what it takes, by the time she enters the Academy. Although, before everything went bad for her, [[spoiler: she did in fact grow up being spoiled by Leon as his younger sister.]]
* StepfordSmiler: When the five dateable cast lose access to their parents funding, she becomes this for a while in order to keep manipulating them with her Olivia [[BitchInSheepsClothing impression]], hiding her devestation.
* StrugglingSingleMother: Her relationship with the five comes off as this at times, as she constantly has to secure finances for them and curb their spending habits. In her past life she was this. She had to take care of her daughter but ultimately had to turn over custody to her parents because they stated she couldn't support her.
* SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler: Marie's sympathy for Hertrude going through her DespairEventHorizon, giving a ThenLetMeBeEvil speech on her behalf, is what defeats one of the FinalBoss.]]
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Being practiced in [[ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter reading]] and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulating]] people, manages to do this multiple times:
** From Marie’s perspective, she was doing this to Angelica by triggering the duel challenge, more than a year before it was supposed to happen in the game, [[FlawExploitation exploiting]] her HairTriggerTemper. It would have been a success, if not for Leon.
** [[spoiler: When Princess Hertrude makes one of the FinalBoss attack everyone after being betrayed by her homeland, and her little sister dying, Marie successfully comforts her into standing down, since they both know what it’s like to lose a beloved sibling.]]
** In the Alzer Republic, Marie [[spoiler: not only talks Loic out of his attempted SuicideByCop against Julius, but earns [[DefeatMeansFriendship his friendship]] and respect, with a DoNotGoGentle speech ending his DeathSeeker mindset.]]
* TaughtByExperience: Living two rough lives, having suffered bad relationships, and having to take drastic steps to survive, has made her an ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter.
* TeamMom: During her stay in the Alzer Republic, she is essentially babysitting the five, keeping the house and finances in order, and providing morale support for Noelle. Mind you, she's still in a relationship with all of the datable casts so it makes things awkward for Noelle, who is implied to have accidentally walked in on them in the act.
* ThereIsAnother: Another reincarnator like Leon, with a [[{{Foil}} very different mindset]] about the games plot.
* TrappedByGamblingDebts: In both her original and reincarnated lives, serving as motivation for her GoldDigger seduction of the five capture targets:
** In her old life, her ex-boyfriend used her money to gamble, and stuck the resulting debts onto her.
** In the Otome world, Marie's family, [[ImpoverishedPatrician despite being a Viscount House]], are poor due to a combination of her parents being TheGamblingAddict, and her older sister's [[MsRedInk spending habits.]] As a result, Marie's family push their debts onto her.
* TraumaCongaLine: In both lives:
** Due to being [[IHaveNoSon disowned by her parents]] in her previous life, then getting into a series of bad relationships, where she had her own money used to incur gambling debts by an ex-boyfriend, had a crappy wedding with her ex-husband, and ended up dying due to DomesticAbuse from another terrible boyfriend. Additionally, she lost custody of her daughter to her parents, and resorted to working as a "night-time entertainer", along the way.
** In her Otome world life, she grew up with [[TheGamblingAddict gambling addicted]] ImpoverishedPatrician parents, who would only give her hand-me-down clothes, and barely fed her, driving her to hunting and foraging to take care of herself. And then [[TrappedByGamblingDebts pressing their debts]] onto her after she enters the Academy.
* VirginShaming: Does this to Leon in the fourth volume.
* WasItReallyWorthIt: Marie succeeded in forming her ReverseHarem using her knowledge of the game to get it much faster than should have been possible. Then she’s stuck babysitting them, and they constantly make [[MsRedInk her life worse]] in their attempts to please her.
* WhamLine: [[ThereIsAnother "They're here at last. I've waited ten years for these princes".]]
* WhiteMagicianGirl: Subverted, she’s a healing specialist and WhiteMage, but her behavior is the opposite: A cynical and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]] CuteBruiser.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Marie's attempt to game the system by inserting herself into the protagonists role based on her knowledge of the game from her past life specifically backfires due to two reasons.
** The first is because she never actually completed the game herself, she had incomplete knowledge of why [[spoiler: Olivia specifically had the ability to defeat the FinalBoss and while she could replicate her other abilities she couldn't do the same for her CompellingVoice and couldn't stop the war as a result.]]
** The second is that [[spoiler: the [[AmplifierArtifact Royal Ship]] requires TrueLove to activate it, which she simply doesn't have for any of the capture targets, as she sees them as a means to an end. This would have lead to a [[DownerEnding Bad End]] had Leon, Olivia and Angelica not been there to activate it.]]
* YaoiFangirl: Is excited by the closeness between Julius and Jilk. [[spoiler: She hid some of this material in Leon's room in their previous life, which her mom found [[MistakenForGay and blamed Leon for having]], which caused him to move out, while she stayed quiet.]]

[[folder:Five Datable Cast]]
!!Five Datable Cast in General
The five datable heroes of the original game. Each of them has values that in an normal Otome game would be valued, but in this series it has consequences.
->For the Cast's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
!!!Tropes that apply to all of them.
----
* AllStarCast: InUniverse, they had a lineup of voice actors like this in the game. Said cast saying the player’s name as a reward for HundredPercentCompletion, was what drove Leon's little sister to make him complete it.
* AristocratTeam: The heirs of some of Holfort Kingdom's most prestigious and wealthy noble households.
* BattleHarem: For Marie, and originally for Olivia in the otome game. Leon saw them as pitiable meat shields when playing, and their personalities interfered with their battle performance. As the [[MagikarpPower series progresses]], this proves to be the one thing they can be counted on for.
* TheBeautifulElite: Leon’s FirstPersonPerspective is tinged with jealousy of them being this.
* TheChampion: A {{Deconstruction}} of romanticized heroic knights. They will do any task to prove themselves to their LoveInterest, no matter who or what odds they have to go against, or how much it violates common sense. Despite all of their [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense spoiled]] and [[LoveMakesYouDumb idiotic]] antics, they’re still [[DeconReconSwitch ultimately brave heroes]].
* ColorCodedCharacters: Due to originally being fictional characters, all five have a color connected to them. Brad is purple, Greg is red, Chris is blue, Jilk is green and Julius is black.
* DevotedToYou: Marie managed to charm all of them so thoroughly that they simply cannot see themselves with anyone else. When their affection was measured with the Royal Ship, each of them nearly had 100 points showcasing that every one of them was utterly in love with her. Even learning that her own affection for them was barely in the double digits, they still remain loyal to her and pledge they will work hard to make her love them to Marie's annoyance.
* FamousAncestor: They are each descended from the Five adventurers [[FounderOfTheKingdom who founded Holfort Kingdom]]; whose names were their family names.
* FireForgedFriends: Originally the five besides Julius and Jilk didn't particular like each other and only hung around because they each love Marie. But after being disinherited by their families they started to work together with Leon as a common foe becoming friends.
* ForeignExchangeStudent: They are sent along with Leon and Marie to attend the Alzer Republic Academy as exchange students, partly as punishment for wasting an entire year's worth of living expenses but also to keep them from being caught up in the post-war situation as both themselves and Marie are seen as potential targets. Each of them manages to fit in relatively well given they are fluent in the native language as well, so they don't have many problems fitting in. Incidently, they would be this in the otome game series as well if one has the [[OldSaveBonus a completed save for the first game]].
* FriendlyRivalry: Their competition to be Marie’s favorite.
* HeroicLineage: Their aforementioned [[FamousAncestor Famous Ancestors]] were five of the greatest adventurers in the Kingdom’s history who discovered and helped secure the continent. They are each thrilled at the prospect of adventuring and DungeonCrawling, which usually means cash they can waste celebrating.
* HiddenDepths: Despite all of their LoveMakesYouDumb issues, they still retain their extensive education, and as long as it doesn’t involve their romance, can provide useful political advice.
* InSeriesNickname: In most any scene told from Leon or Marie's FirstPersonPerspective, they are referred to as [[IdiotHero The Five Idiots]]. Individually, they're known as:
** Julius, the Idiot Prince.
** Jilk, the Black Hearted.
** Chris, the Swordsman.
** Brad, the Narcissist.
** Greg, the Musclehead.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: None of them are stupid by the fact that as influential nobles they have received an extensive education. But when love comes into the picture, all of that goes out the window and a lot of the things they've done while acting in interest falls into this category.
* LoveRuinsTheRealm:
** Likewise, because of their infatuation with their LoveInterest Marie, they've ultimately ended up disowned whether as a consequence of their actions or by choice. This unintentionally caused a huge power shift as the factions who supported them became unsettled and other households began making moves to overthrow them.
* MagikarpPower: While they're at first shown struggling against foes Leon can easily dispatch, he notes that, due to the RPGElements of the dating sim, he knew they would have been much tougher to beat after a year or two of combat experience. Indeed, after clearing the events of the first dating sim, Leon judges their capabilities superhuman while DungeonCrawling together.
* OneTrueLove: How they see Marie. Its noted that many of them are in positions high enough that they could still go through with their ArrangedMarriage and kept Marie as a mistress, but they simply cannot bring themselves to do that. No one else can compare, so they don't bother with even trying to maintain the illusion of going through with ArrangedMarriage or other lovers.
* OverratedAndUnderleveled: Leon's complaints about their performance as game characters point to their backstories not holding up: Julius is noted to have top marks in combat tests, Chris to be a MasterSwordsman, Greg to be a veteran adventurer, etc. In their first DungeonCrawling scene, they struggle with a group of foes that Leon could [[CurbStompBattle easily eviscerate]] by himself.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Start to look like this after they each take up professions suiting their passions, bringing out their inner quirks.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Often, when [[RivalsTeamUp working alongside]] Leon.
* TrueCompanions: Their dynamic amongst each-other after Leon unites them in rivalry against him.
* {{Pride}}: Being the eldest sons of some of the kingdom's most important families, they all have inflated egos of themselves that Leon absolutely stomped into the ground during their match.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: The biggest issue with all of them is that they have no sense when it comes to managing money due to being wealthy. Note, they could actually earn money through adventuring but they would spend whatever they earned right away, so Marie actively has to hide whatever money she gets so they won't starve as they will ultimately spend it on gifts to try and make her happy.
* RivalsTeamUp: With Leon, which usually leads to CharacterDevelopment.
* SexyManInstantHarem: All five of them are incredibly popular with women that anytime they walk anywhere there is usually a group of girls following them.
* WhatTheHellHero: They each give Leon one of these, when they learn how he got a certain group of allies to fight for him with "[[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord friendship]]".
* WorthyOpponent: After Leon defeated them in volume one, they all wanted revenge. But in volume 2 Greg, Brad and Chris start to respect Leon for his strength and this look up to him while still desiring to defeat him.

[[folder:Julius Rapha Holfort]]
!!!Julius Rapha Holfort
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyotaOhsaka (''Drama CD'')
--> ''"They're forcing a life of royalty on me! No one is looking at my true self! I never wanted to be born into the life of royalty! Marie is the only one who's considered my feelings!"''
The Crown Prince of the Holfort Kingdom, Julius wishes he was anything but. He pines for a simple life free of the restrictions and demands of the Royal Court, which he sees his fiancée Angelica as the enbodyment of, eventually contributing to him ending their engagement in favor of the seemingly humble Marie. Julius is honest with a sense of justice and adventure, countered by his spoiled and prideful tendencies.
->For Julius's ''Marie Route Side Story'' tropes, [[Characters/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobsMarieRoute see here]].
----
* ArrangedMarriage: He was originally betrothed to Angelica, which he called off to be with Marie. [[spoiler:He was almost set up with Hertrude as a peace offering before he pretended to attack her to break it off.]]
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Julius resents his status as the heir to the throne, seeing it as a burden as he never gets to choose his future in life. He even turns this resentment towards Angelica, his fiancée.
* CharacterDevelopment: He steadily grows as a character after his duel with Leon from apologizing to Angelica to eventually learning the value of hard work and finding enjoyment in simple work like being a meat griller.
* DumbassHasAPoint: About Angelica LovingAShadow. She spent her whole life being prepared for an arranged marriage, and being Queen one day, so her identity is tied up in the concept of being with Julius, rather than having naturally fallen for him. Her own father's words support this.
* HumblePie: Julius, after being kicked out by Marie alongside the other capture targets for [[MsRedInk pilfering half her savings]], blows most of his cash celebrating on first day. Upon realizing he's almost broke, Julius is shocked to discover that all four of the others are more successful on their own than him. He runs away to wallow on a bench, homeless, only to finally get his hands dirty working for a stand, and winds up winning the challenge Marie offered to the five of them because of the [[CharacterDevelopment perspective he gains.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** During his duel with Leon, Julius breaks out into a MotiveRant about how much he resents his lot in life, which is fair on it's own. But then he tries to coerce Leon into [[ThrowingTheFight throwing this match]], wanting to fight to the death, knowing full in well that if Leon were to kill him he'd face even more severe consequences due to his status.
** For all his talk about Angelica never understanding him, it's implied that he never made an attempt to understand or even relate to her either, just wallowing in his self-pity until he meets Marie.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Leon's ShutUpHannibal response to Julius' breakdown sees him calling out Julius on prioritizing his own well being over the Kingdom and even Angelica's feelings.
** Prior to the duel, it was stated that Julius even demanded that Angelica take on no lovers of her own all the while he's carrying on an affair with Marie.
* KnightlySwordAndShield: His preferred weapons, although unlike Chris, he’s not averse to [[TheMusketeer using guns.]]
* TheLoveSlapOfEpiphany: In the otome game the protagonist slaps Julius which cause him to fall for her. In the story, Marie takes Olivia's place.
* LegacyCharacter: Essentially assumes the Masked Knight superhero identity from his father without his permission by stealing his costume and gear, to get around being forbidden from fighting due to his status. He discovered a secret passage leading to it as a child.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Unlike his father, who is TheCasanova, he has SingleTargetSexuality towards Marie and Marie alone.
* ModestRoyalty: After CharacterDevelopment kicks in, Julius starts taking pride in hard work. Definitely averted at first though, [[RebelPrince despite his protests]].
* MoneyDumb: Shown when he’s forced to live by himself, when he falls flat on his face out the gates, while the other four are fine on their own. The experience helped him to grow and be less this.
* PaperThinDisguise: After being ordered to stay safe by his parents, Julius steals his father's armor and mask to get around this and fight. Everyone can tell it's Julius ... except the other dateable cast.
* PrinceCharmless: After falling for Marie, his stupidity and naivete becomes painfully obvious to the point Marie and Olivia are annoyed by him.
* RebelPrince: His defining trait. He hates responsibility and sees his engagement with Angelica as an extension of it. He is somewhat of a {{hypocrite}} however, both using that same authority to essentially command Leon to lose their duel, as well as having having no sense of financial restraint. [[CharacterDevelopment He does get better]].
** Julius fully defies his parents, who want him to evacuate instead of fight, stealing his father's MiniMecha to join the FinalBattle in a PaperThinDisguise.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Julius takes up cooking as a profession as part of his CharacterDevelopment. Besides [[WarriorPrince adventuring as a passtime]].
* SayMyName: Screams that he'll [[ThisIsUnforgivable never forgive]] Leon, after he uses Julius as bait to lure a hundred monsters into an ambush.
* SensualSpandex: Whenever Julius uses his father’s Masked Knight regalia to fight in disguise, due to being kept out of the fight to protect the dynasty. This gets him called a pervert, since it was designed by [[TheCasanova Roland]].
* SoreLoser: Per the terms of the duel, Julius was meant to cut off ties with Marie since he lost to Leon. Julius continued to ignore the agreement all the while claiming that [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial just because he continues to hang around the harem, doesn't mean he's engaging with them]].
* TooMuchInformation: Leon speaking about Julius’ mother tends to elicit this reaction.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: His favorite food are common meat skewers which he uses as proof that Angelica doesn't know him. Marie used this to her advantage by asking him to a skewer stand which made him think she was his destiny.
* WarriorPrince: Julius is one of the most talented warriors in the kingdom, and goes adventuring for fun. His parents try to keep him out of major battles, [[RebelPrince not that he lets that stop him]].
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Says this to his mother [[RoyalFavorite about Leon]].

* BadassBiker: The best airbike pilot in the Academy, which ties into an Otome Game event where Olivia was supposed to heal him after he was beaten up in a race.

* BandageMummy: The manga adaptation has Jilk be this after losing his duel to Leon, as LaserGuidedKarma.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's noted to be the quietest of the group, but also the most dangerous. It should be noted that out of all the other datable cast he's the only one who attempted to take measures that could potentially kill Leon during their duel if his armor was any less durable.
* BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: Jilk does this to [[spoiler: Pierre's crooked merchant associate, when he tries threaten his hostage Carla, after his goons are taken out.]]
* TheButlerDidIt: Jilk maintains a public persona is as a straight-forward servant who doesn't stand out, while committing crimes in the shadows to advance his goals. Leon thinks this aspect of his character is cliché.
* ColdSniper: Sniper rifles are his preferred weapon both in MiniMecha and on foot, fitting his characterization as being quiet and ruthless.
* CombatPragmatist: An even more brutal one than Leon, using military grade bullets and even attempting to use a bomb to kill Leon to protect his and Julius' honor.
* DearJohnLetter: He broke off his ArrangedMarriage via letter, specifically because as he fell in love with Marie he felt more reluctant to be around Clarice. He couldn't bring himself to tell her in person.
* DemolitionsExpert: He's noted for being talented when it comes to explosives.

* ThreatBackfire: Jilk learns why it's bad to to [[AndYourLittleDogToo threaten people's families]], when he is recorded doing so, and it's held as blackmail material over him. He'd lose all of his honor and social standing if it was revealed.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed. He seems to have played a role of PoisonousFriend for Julius in the game. Jilk was trained in espionage to help him serve Julius. The other four cast tire of the trouble this gets him into in their daily lives, but his talents prove very useful during conflict.
* {{Touche}}: Leon suggests he is the best person to set up an ambush for monsters, drawing a complaint, until Leon cites the fact he forced Leon's sister to plant a bomb in his mech, which Jilk admits he can't respond to.
* UndyingLoyalty: He is incredibly loyal to Julius, his best friend and foster brother, even attempting to sabotage Leon's armor to protect Julius' reputation.
* {{Unishment}}: Leon notices he seems oddly happy to be punished by Marie, and he [[MischiefForPunishment earns her ire]] more than the others combined.
* YesMan: Jilk is so loyal to Julius that he will automatically praise his friend for even having an idea regardless if it's actually intelligent.
* AndYourLittleDogToo: Jilk attempts to scare Leon off by threatening his family in the middle of this match. This simply pisses Leon off even more.

* TheDandy: His archetype. Eventually makes it work for him by becoming a StageMagician.

* HiddenDepths: Despite his ego, volume two reveals he is all too aware of being the weakest of the five and is working hard behind the scenes to fix it. Leon is a bit taken back when he learns about this side of Brad.
