Vishvalita Sharaksa/Tropes

A - G
Animal Motifs: She is strongly associated with tigers, both aesthetically speaking and when taking her physical prowess into consideration. She wears a tiger apron and is strong enough to take on men at her level with ease.

All-Loving Hero: Subverted. Despite the fact that her religion is inspired by Buddhism, Vishvalita is neither inherently peaceful nor does she love everyone. In fact, she despises demons and those associated with Dark Guilds. But goodness, she tries.

Badass: Played straight. Vishvalita possesses power enough to take on Dark Guilds all by herself. This includes everything from the puniest lackey to even some of the mightiest dark masters. Merely being in the presence of her magical power can cause one's spells to shatter before they hit her. That's just how powerful she is.


 * Badass Boast: Oh, is she fond of making them. Usually, they will be religious in nature and involve the word "repentance" in one way or another, but whenever she goes far enough to do this, you're usually in deep.

Berserk Button: Don't mock those who are incapable of defending themselves in her presence. While her response is not necessarily violent, unless you attack said individual, is enough to intimidate one to the point where it is almost certain that this action will never be repeated in her presence.

Bifauxnen: Subverted. Despite looking a bit on the androgynous side, Vishvalita still has rather prominent breasts and though somewhat deep, still a very feminine voice. It's mostly her hair which leave people with the impression that she may be male.

Blade On A Stick: Wields the Mandala Spear, which is just what its name insinuates that it is. It just so happens that it also shoots lasers.

Dark And Troubled Past: Played straight in her case. Vishvalita was nearly killed twice in her youth - the first time as a child, the second as an adult. She escaped unscathed in the first encounter, but the second left her with a Mark Of Shame. The former shaped her as a person and made her rather paranoid, while the latter only strengthened her religious resolve.

Emphatic Weapon: Played straight. Maitreya's Pagoda does not recognize anyone but Vishvalita as its true master and therefore, no one but her can harness the true powers of said artifact. It reacts positively whenever touched by her, but if touched by someone else, its response will be inherently negative.

Frickin' Laser Beams: Vishvalita's favorite choice of attack. This does not just include giant lasers which travel forwards to pierce their targets indiscriminately, but also smaller lasers which will assault their targets from the sides. One of her greatest assets is her versatility, as she possesses both massive attacks which can one-shot opponent near her level and weaker attacks which just seal away their Magic. Take your pick - because they're all basically laser beams.

H - P
Jerkass: Justified. After surviving an attack on her village, several strangers refused to believe that she had told the truth and believed her to be a wild child. In turn, this caused her to distrust most adults and attacked rather brash, until she came to the monastery. Learning kindness from the ascetics, she softened up a little bit. But after she came in the possession of Maitreya's Pagoda and started travelling, Vishvalita became more of a Jerkass once more, as a result of how humans mocked her religious beliefs.


 * Jerkass With A Heart Of Gold: While she's cold and dismissive towards most adults, she softens up when around children and Vishvalita has seldom been seen turning away a child regardless of status.

Mark Of Shame: Played straight. While the scars on her back are by no means considered to be shameful in public, Vishvalita resents them and is reminded of Invertia every time someone looks at it or mentions it. It represents her greatest failure and despite claiming to not feeling shame anymore, she still hates to display it in public.

Power Glows: Justified. This is a rather odd example, but Maitreya's Pagoda glows because it is similar to a lantern in structure. Due to the fact that the source of the lantern, a saint's soul, is stored inside the jewel, it has a constant fuel and will always glow.

Q - V
Technicolor Eyes: She has amber eyes, which is not exactly natural.

The Stoic: Played straight. She displays the emotional range of a fish more often than not. She can inform you that your parents are dead and look absolutely unaffected while doing so, just as she may have the same facial expression if you tell her a joke and she remarks that it is clever. She's quite difficult to read, as such...


 * Not So Stoic: ...Unless you just to happen to step on the toes of the weak, whom she intends to protect. Worse yet, if you display joy in doing so. While her expression may not change radically, still being nothing but a frown, her voice and her eyes will not be as tranquil as her face. In fact, they will be clouded by rage.

The Quiet One: Justified. Taking into consideration how introverted her religion is and how much time during her childhood she spent in silence, it is no wonder why Vishvalita is such quiet individual. Combined with the fact that she is considered to be rather stoic, some may perceive her as emotionless.

Unkempt Beauty: Played with. While she is by no means considered to a very attractive woman by normal standards, some may find her exterior to be appealing, especially whenever she is wearing her training equipment.

Upgrade Artifact: Zig-zagged. While Miroku's Pagoda does produce the Magic which Vishvalita utilizes and therefore is responsible for most of her power, Vishvalita still possesses an immense potential and latent magical energy. Even if she was not the chosen one of the pagoda, she would still be able to become a proficient Mage with another Magic.

W - Z
Women Are Delicate: Inverted, hard. Vishvalita is no delicate flower. She is sturdy, muscular and rigid in her dogmas similar to a male boxing champion, despite possessing an arguable femininity.
