** Guen, if you choose to spec her in sword skills.
** Maris and Bretta, two knights of the all-female Order of UsefulNotes/{{Boudica}}, assigned by Arthur as Guen's bodyguards.

* LadyOfBlackMagic:

* LadyOfWar: Guen can be played in this style.
* LadykillerInLove: Lance is stated to have been quite the ladies' man before he [[LoveAtFirstSight met Guen]].

* TheCharmer: Lance has a way with people - women in particular.

* EasilyForgiven: Anyone who surrenders to Arthur, who as a matter of ideals freely gives out pardons to the remorseful (or the "remorseful").

** Lance admits that he will deceive Arthur when he feels it's necessary to ignore Arthur's ideals for his own good.* SpotTheImposter: Exaggerated when [[spoiler:Meligaunt fills Camelot with over a ''dozen'' doppelgangers of Guen and himself.]] The castle falls into chaos as everyone tries to determine who's real.

** Lance admits that he will deceive Arthur when he feels it's necessary to ignore Arthur's ideals for his own good.
