History Characters / MagiTheLabyrinthOfMagicKouEmpire

%%* TheArcher

* SmugSnake: [[JustForPun Pun aside]], he is ''very'' confident in his abilities.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: All of them, with the exception of the six princesses between Hakuei and Kougyoku, are Dungeon Capturers of at least one dungeon. They're also royalty and, with one or two exceptions, full-fledged generals in Kou's army.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The First Prince, general of the army, and the only person in the Empire who conquers three dungeons.

* TeensAreShort: Especially when compared to his elder brothers, Kouha is positively diminutive. Even Kougyoku, his ''younger sister'', is taller than him.

* TeensAreShort: Even Hakuryuu is taller than him. He's shown to be very self-conscious about his height, and shows annoyance at looking so much younger than his actual age.

* {{Bishonen}}: He's a very feminine looking boy, between the long pink sidetails and androgynous outfit.

* PeekABangs: To make him look gloomier.

* PeekABangs

* {{Keigo}}: Unlike his brothers, Koumei always speaks using very polite, formal language, even to people of much lower standing that himself.

The ruling family of the Kou Empire. Thus far there have been only two Emperors: Hakutoku, who was murdered in a revolt and was later succeeded by his younger brother Koutoku. Gyokuen, who was married to Hakutoku, ended up marrying her brother-in-law after becoming a [[ComfortingTheWidow widow]].

!'''Ren Royal Family'''

* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Kouen's central philosophy is that bringing unity and peace to the world is worth destroy foreign cultures and replacing them with Kou culture. Most of his direct family seems to subscribe to this belief as well.

* HesGotLegs: [[spoiler: Thanks to his current outfit, which looks no different from the short slave dress that Morgianna initially wears and highlights his long legs nicely.]]

%% * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Acording to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, Seishun dislikes bugs.

* AnimalMotif: The mangaka says that aside from her butterfly hairpin, her hair loops are also meant to be reminiscent of wings.

* AbsoluteCleavage: In her Djinn equip, not that she's well-endowed enough for you to really notice.

* MindControlEyes

* LonelyDollGirl: As a child, she had no one to play with but the dolls she'd apparently made herself.
* LonelyRichKid: Given that her older brothers are all busy with their own matters, her sisters have all been married off to foreign lands, and she's too timid to start a conversation with the more approachable Hakuryuu or Hakuei, she's a lonely princess most of the time. Not to mention there's her status [[SonOfAWhore as a bastard child]], which makes some people keep their distance from her.

* RoyalBastard: Kougyoku wasn't born into royalty like her older siblings. Instead of being born of the Emperor's wife or one of his concubines, Kougyoku is the daughter of an unknown, lowly courtesan.

* {{Tsundere}}: Harsh type towards everyone during her early appearances. Subsequent chapters suggest that it's an attempt to hide her shyness and insecurities. Befriending Alibaba and being recognized by her brothers as a warrior seem to have largely killed this trait of hers.

* CharacterTic: Tends to hide her hands in her long sleeves and hold them up to her mouth whenever she's upset, distressed, or nervous.

* BigBrotherWorship: Towards Kouen.
** She's also shown to hold Koumei and Kouha in high regard, though not to the same extent as with Kouen.

* FieryRedhead: [[{{Tsundere}} Half the time]].

* SonOfAWhore: Female example. Kougyoku's birth mother was a prostitute.

* {{Tsundere}}: Type A towards everyone during her early appearances. Subsequent chapters suggest that it's an attempt to hide her shyness and insecurities. Befriending Alibaba and being recognized by her brothers as a warrior seem to have largely killed this trait of hers.

The ruling family of the Kou Empire. Thus far there have been only two Emperors: Hakutoku, who was murdered in a revolt and was later succeeded by his younger brother Koutoku. Gyokuen, who was married to Hakutoku, ended up marrying her brother-in-law after becoming a [[ComfortingTheWidow widow]]. [[spoiler:She becomes the Third Emperor after taking power from her stepson and the true heir, Ren Kouen, and eventually is [[OffWithHerHead killed]] by her own son, Hakuryuu, who becomes the Fourth Emperor. After he abdicated the throne Kougyoku becomes the fifth Emperor.]].

* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Justified; the males of the royal family have harems to ensure the birth of more heirs. Considering Hakuei and Hakuryuu were adopted into their uncle's family, the Kou siblings, without them, are seven sisters and three brothers.

* CryCute: Despite being a Princess, she is prone to crying when embarrassed or frustrated.

* NiceHat

* NiceHat

%%* BlindingBangs

8* BigFun: He sometimes behaves like this.

* BandageBabe: The three of them always wear thick bandages on different parts of their bodies.

* FiveManBand: [[http://imageshack.com/a/img191/1210/ufog.jpg The Ren Siblings. Be very afraid.]]
** TheLeader: Kouen.
** TheLancer[=/=]TheSmartGuy: Koumei.
** TheBigGuy: Kouha and Kougyoku. Both of the CuteBruiser variety.
** TheHeart: Hakuei, being the most compassionate of all her brethren, also prefers to unifying the world under Kou Empire based on peaceful negotiation. And Kougyoku, based on the recent arc, because of her good will and naivety.
** SixthRangerTraitor: [[spoiler:Hakuryuu, as he doesn't go to help his siblings in their time of need and is working with Judar.]]
