* ArcherArchetype: Very conspicuously and to some extent intentionally, as the best kind of personality available to an outlaw and half-elf. Her bow is also about as long as she is tall.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:Late in the story she gets the ability to make 30 clones of herself that she can sync up with if she thinks about it for ten minutes. They're all okay with the situation, but after circumstances force them to be out of contact for two years, two of them have become lovers and do not wish to be subsumed back into Amaryllis Prime. She syncs them anyway.]]



* MesACrowd: The reward for her companion questline is [[spoiler:the ability to split off 30 clones of herself, identical except for the fact that they they have the same combat utility as a kitten. This being Amaryllis, they are all imminently sensible about their existence... for the most part. It helps that they can psychically sync up their experiences by concentrating for ten minutes.]]

* BlankSlate: Early on, Valencia has essentially no life experiences save repeated possession. This leads to her relying on knowledge taken from infernals, which is tainted by their nature and outlook on mortals.
* CursedWithAwesome: Normally non-anima live a wretched existence, hunted by the whole world and tormented by frequent possessions. Once Valencia becomes immune to possession, not only is she able to freely steal the knowledge and experience for her own use, but she also becomes an ideal wielder for most cursed entads as they usually target the soul.

This leads to her relying on knowledge taken from infernals, which is tainted by their nature and outlook on mortals. \n She's also treated as spiritually blank by reality due to lacking a soul, which is why she defaults to human in spite of an elven father.

Added DiffLines:

** Deconstructed in the epilogue, as Bethel continues to take a penitent attitude and not enjoy herself several years into the establishment of heaven, long past when any member of the party still expects it of her or for the most part even cares. It takes some rather ruthless criticism from B-Side Juniper and an offer to be her consensual torture victim to convince her to take a different tack.


Added DiffLines:

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Opinions towards Bethel vary over time but are decidedly mostly negative, and in the end only Amaryillis and Valencia make any effort to stay in cotact with her.


Added DiffLines:

* ForTheEvulz: Largely his motive for doing anything - he just straight-up takes pleasure in the chaos and suffering his actions cause, and his immense power leaves him without any idea that he might suffer the consequences. WordOfGod says he has an extreme case of "Affluenza" due to the Dungeon Master protecting him.

* RelationshipSabotage: Intentionally triggers Juniper and Fenn's breakup by way of infernal wisdom, and even she isn't sure whether she did it out of a genuine knowledge they were doomed to break up anyway, so that she could make Juniper available for her own affections, or just because infernal wisdom is oriented towards destructive outcomes.

* AntiMagic: One of the few upshots of being a non-anima, and part of what makes them so deadly. To the locals, magic is anything that interacts with the soul on some level (everything else counting as psuedo-magic), so she's effectively immune to the majority of magical attacks and some of the nastier cursed entads. There are still effects that can't be worked around, but those have their own counters.

* GlassCannon: She can't benefit from healing magic, so any wounds she receives have to be mended the old fashioned way. They mostly deploy her infernal gifts in social situations rather than as a combatant.

* TheAgeless: Some quirk of her duplication power seems to be keeping her copies at a physical age of 35.
* BrilliantButLazy: People are often surprised to find out that she's a fairly intelligent person, just one who is stuck in a loop of self-destructive behavior she lacks the internal discipline to break.



* TheStarscream: To Herself.

to:

* TheStarscream: To Herself.ImAHumanitarian: Since Doris clones are the only permanent creation of her magic, the easiest way to get a meal is to spawn a clone in a death trap. No one is particularly happy about this, but it's what they have to work with.

* PollutedWasteland: Her exclusion zone is a desolate waste from centuries of low grade warfare and as a by product of her HumanResources tech base.
* ThePowerOfBlood: Having a limitless supply of her own blood has allowed portions of the Dorises to figure out some parts of Blood Magic. [[spoiler:This culminates in opening a portal to the elemental plane of blood and becoming a blood fueled demi-god.]]
* SelfDuplication: Doris Finch learned how to do this when she was nine years old. Unfortunately she grew up to be a total bitch with a bad case of Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, and there are now about nine million of her in the exclusion zone that she and her power are restricted to, all of which are constantly at each other's throats.
* SelfInflictedHell: Her exclusion zone ended up as one because of her Chronic Backstabbing Disorder and self-loathing.
