Knights/Characters

Mistletien AKA 'Mist'

 * All of the Other Reindeer: Story of the poor guy's life, just look at the tournament arc. And that's if he's lucky.
 * Badass Normal: He learns fast, trains hard, and it takes massive damage to put him out of commission, and apparently jumps like he's spring-loaded, and that's pretty much all Mist has going for him as he faces down hordes of Mooks and screaming, overpowered Knight Templars. Well, except for one other little thing...
 * Because You Were Nice to Me: A non-villainous, non-quirky example, Mist is willing to fight to the death for Nina because she was the first girl ever to smile at the sight of his face.
 * BFS: Oh hell yes.
 * Chaste Hero: To Euphemia's unending dismay.
 * Chick Magnet: Not the standard type exactly, but every girl who actually gets to know him and isn't immediately put off by his being Ambiguously Brown seems to get smitten pretty quickly. Euphemia, Nina, Gicrete...note that all of the above virtually ignore the attentions of the more stereotypically handsome Leonardo.
 * Flat Earth Atheist: You would be too if
 * Harmful to Minors: Oh, god, what happened to his mother...
 * Heroes Prefer Swords: Even if their mentor thinks it's an antique POS.
 * Hero with Bad Publicity
 * Honor Before Reason: Does this sometimes, as when he was unwilling to cut Balthazar down with his back turned. Unlike other series, it's when he shows shades of Combat Pragmatism that he gets scolded by his mentor Wilhelm for unknightly conduct.
 * Knight Errant In Shining Armor
 * Lightning Bruiser:
 * Made of Iron: Takes some truly hideous beatings and always gets right back up again.
 * Scary Black Man: Not really, unless you're from the Church. Otherwise, he's a Nice Guy.

Euphemia

 * Action Girl,Action Survivor: For a degree of "action." See Badass Normal.
 * Attempted Rape:
 * Badass Normal: Willing to, ahem, take on hordes of horny men ( and a horse, apparently! ), and throw down against crazed medieval fundies with superpowers, armed with nothing but her wits, her sex appeal, and an encyclopedic knowledge of herbs, potions, and aphrodisiacs. Not a traditional badass, but still pretty hardcore.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
 * The Medic
 * Ms. Fanservice: And how! This does not go un-lampshaded by the other characters in the manga's rather conservative miedeval settting.
 * Nice Hat: Amazing hat.
 * Please Put Some Clothes On
 * Prison Rape: As Backstory
 * Really Gets Around: And she weaponizes it, too.
 * Red Headed Heroine
 * Stripperiffic
 * Stripperiffic

Katrina Antonina Visemplar AKA 'Nina'

 * Badass Damsel: Nina shows shades of this from the beginning. Though she is never really able to keep herself out of situations that require rescue, for a distressed damsel she is remarkably unwilling to take her captivity lying down, from helping Mist by swinging her ball-and-chain shackles at the bad guy in the first chapter, to defiantly refusing to break under horrible torture by the end.
 * Break the Cutie: Often.
 * Damsel in Distress
 * Easily Forgiven: You would think it would take a little more than it did to make up for her actions in the third volume, but then she did pull a Big Damn Heroes that even Inara would appreciate once she got her head right again.
 * Hair of Gold
 * If I Can't Have You: Arguably part of her initial Cutie-Breaking process, she starts Jumping Off the Slippery Slope into...
 * Virginity Makes You Stupid: A little bit of this contributed too.
 * Love Makes You Crazy/Evil:
 * : Becomes this after the events in the finale.
 * Stuffed Into the Fridge: the her brutal torture at the hands of the Church in the fifth volume was largely for the purpose of giving Mist motivation.
 * Token Mini-Moe
 * Tongue Trauma:
 * Token Mini-Moe
 * Tongue Trauma:

Leonardo 'Leo'

 * Badass Normal
 * Big Damn Heroes: Isn't he just.
 * Chivalrous Pervert: With a heavy, heavy emphasis on the "chivalrous" part. It's more or less his title even, "Knight of the Carpet."
 * Crucified Hero Shot:
 * Hair of Gold
 * Heel Face Turn
 * Huge Rider, Tiny Mount: And his horse just wants his love, dammit.
 * Kindhearted Cat Lover: Rescues Greymalkin from being killed by Balthazar for being a 'witches familiar' in the beginning and is never again seen without the cat in tow.
 * Royal Rapier
 * Royal Rapier
