Lady and Knight	comment	The Lady and Knight is a chivalric image that many of us probably know very well, though perhaps you didn't realize they come in two flavors. A staple in fiction everywhere, the Lady And Knight dynamic is at least Older Than Feudalism, though no doubt that whole era of Romantic adventure stories like Arthurian Legend and Robin Hood perpetuated it. While it is very common in works set in a Medieval era or equivalent fantasy version, they can pop up anywhere but even in modern settings, they are usually meant to invoke that era's ideal image of a Lady and her Knight. The iconic portrayal is of the Lady as a beautiful, admirable woman with dignity and nobility and The Knight as a strong, brave man of virtue sworn to protect her. The Lady And Knight, while originally female and male respectively, aren't always nowadays and either role can be played by either gender. While there is often a Bodyguard Crush involved, sometimes it's a chaste Courtly Love and in same-sex couple versions, there's less of a chance of romance being involved. In the past, the Lady was often a Damsel in Distress, but now it's nearly as common for the Knight and his Lady to form an Action Duo or Battle Couple. There are two particular variations of the Lady And Knight dynamic: the Bright Lady and White Knight, a good version, and an Evil Counterpart, the Dark Lady and Black Knight. While the types are fairly distinct, it's not unheard of for Ladies and their Knights to switch from one to the other, should they perform a Heelâ€“Face Turn or Faceâ€“Heel Turn. For more information about the two different types, see the Analysis page. Light Liege, Dark Defender is a potential mix-and-match version. Often there's some sort of ceremony or official pledging, accompanied by the knight giving the Lady a kiss on the hand or kneeling. Sometimes non-historical based works will slip something similar in as a tip-off to the two characters' relationship. In settings that support actual knights being in the work, if the Knight doesn't start off as an actual Knight, he is almost always formally knighted by the end of the work. Often involves Declaration of Protection. Compare Mistress and Servant Boy which has a similar dynamic, but the Knight is less about serving and doing menial tasks and more about protecting his Lady and his honor. If the servant also happens to be a Battle Butler, however, they may overlap. If there's rescuing going on but none of the courtliness, it's a Rescue Romance.

Lady and Knight / int_11b7db91	comment	Played with in Adventure Time by Finn and Princess Bubblegum. Finn certainly sees himself as PB's knight (even Lampshading it in song at one point), and she's certainly willing to have him perform her errands (having referred to him as her Champion several times). As the series goes on it becomes clear that, being rather young and thus immature, Finn will never be satisfied with mere Courtly Love from her and some of what he does is in the hopes of impressing her and winning her affection. For her part, PB is not a Damsel in Distress or even much of a Proper Lady except on formal occasions and in fact could probably handle half of the threats she sics Finn on at least as well but doesn't because she's too busy running the kingdom, and views Finn's romantic interest with a kind of detached exasperation. It becomes more complicated when it's seen just how ambiguously PB's morality can be and some have questioned whether she does care for Finn or merely using him. For now, they are friends and he still defends the kingdom and her because of this and because he is a noble person at heart.

Lady and Knight / int_11d152d0	comment	The Belgariad, being a deliberate hotbed of fantasy tropes, has this more than once: Sir Mandorallen of Vo Mandor is a White Knight with two Bright Ladies; he is devoted to the Baroness of Vo Ebor, but is also sworn to defend Ce'Nedra as the Queen's Champion. (He's also quite desperately in love with the former, but his affection for Ce'Nedra is entirely platonic.) In Polgara the Sorceress, one of the prequels, Polgara herself is the White Lady to Count Ontrose's Bright Knight. (That one is mutual, but Destiny wasn't having it. It does take her a couple of thousand years to fall in love again, though.)

In the finale, the dynamic is somewhat switched around, since Madoka has to realize her potential to save the world, including Homura, and before she becomes a borderline Physical God, Madoka pretty much vows to protect Homura as well as the other magical girls from then on. In the anime's epilogue, Homura has basically become a paladin in service to the new goddess.

He acts like a knight in defense of his Queen, with whom he eventually begins a secret relationship. Then she decides to end the anti-Power Ranger campaign and they are forced to flee to the Power Rangers. After this, they take on a White Knight, Bright Lady dynamic, which is solidified when Arquen joins the Power Rangers.

Lady and Knight / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Alistair, in Dragon Age: Origins, will behave this way toward a female Warden if his romance arc is pursued. The relationship is really more like Knight and Knight considering many female Wardens are warriors, but he acts like a White Knight in the service of a Bright Lady. It can be played almost entirely straight if you make the player character a mage specced for healing. Additionally, if male and romancing Morrigan, he acts as either a White Knight or a Black Knight to her Dark Lady, vowing to protect her and even killing a dragonnote technically Flemeth in dragon form to save her. And then he spends a year looking for her. If the male Warden is of Human Noble origin, it's possible to end up as this if you pursue to marry Queen Anora. Anora would handle the political side of things behind-the-scenes while the male Warden, who's now Ferelden's King, does all the frontline fighting. If the Inquisitor is female and romances Cullen or Blackwall, there are aspects of this trope to their relationship in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Both gentlemen will even address her as "my lady" (Cullen only once, Blackwall often). A male Inquisitor can invoke shades of it in his romance with Cassandra, owing to her love of chivalry and romantic ideals. An Inquisitor of either gender experiences some aspects of the trope when romancing Josephine, even going so far as to duel a rival for her favor.

Lady and Knight / int_1b386512	comment	Played for laughs in the Sleep Incense arc of the Ranma Â½ manga. In one of Akane's dreams, she's a princess and has been captured by Shampoo, Ukyo, and Kodachi. After Ranma rescues Akane and swears his eternal allegiance to her, they immediately become Sickeningly Sweethearts. They almost have sex, right before that dream ends and the next one begins. Hilariously ironic, considering that the real Ranma and Akane are chockful of Belligerent Sexual Tension and refuse to physically display any affection for each other.

Lady and Knight / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach invokes the imagery with Ichigo Kurosaki and the two lead female characters, Rukia Kuchiki and Orihime Inoue: First, when Ichigo's home is attacked and Rukia is wounded trying to help him and his family, Rukia unlocks Ichigo's potential powers and gives him the weapons to fight back, leading to him becoming a Shinigami and protecting people like he's always desired. (And one of the persons they both protect is Orihime). Later she's taken away to be executed, leading Ichigo to go rescue her with Orihime (the one who actually came up with the idea), Uryuu and Chad, and him ultimately facing her very powerful brother Byakuya for her sake (incidentally, they find out she was adopted into a noble family). Later, after Rukia is rescued and Soul Society pardons her and acknowledges Ichigo, he fails to keep Orihime from being wounded in an attack, and Rukia then makes him promise to Orihime that he'll become stronger and protect her. He soon has to start filling his word: Orihime is forced to go into Hueco Mundo by the Arrancars, and Ichigo goes to rescue her with Chad, Uryu, Rukia, and Renji in tow. The "Lady and Knight" imagery increases steadily and even Ichigo's rivals repeatedly point out their Bright Lady and White Knight bond.

Lady and Knight / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem loves this trope: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light: Nyna and Camus. Sorta. It's WAY more complicated in the end. Also, Sheema and Samson in Mystery of the Emblem. Genealogy of the Holy War: Edain and Midir, Lachesis and Finn, especially if following the Oosawa manga. There's another gender-flipped example: Erinys (Knight) and Lewyn (Lord) Miranda and Connomore in Thracia 776. Her ending only says she married "a certain knight", but the only one who fits in such a description is Connomore. Also, Olwen and Fred. The Binding Blade, Clarine's Well, Excuse Me, Princess! nature brings this up in her supports with Lance. In the meantime, her older brother Klein manages to gender-flip this with the Pegasus Knight Thite. Lyndis and Kent in The Blazing Blade. To a smaller degree, Eliwood and Ninian (she isn't royalty, but he has sworn to help and protect both her and her brother Nils), as well as Priscilla and either of her love interests. Though only Erk manages to marry her. Jaffar and Nino aren't royalty (unless you count him being a high-ranked Black Fang member and her being the adoptive daughter of the leader), but otherwise they fit in perfectly. Also, despite neither being nobility, Dorcas and his wife Natalie count in perfectly — so much that Dorcas refuses to actually become a Knight when Oswin tells him to join the Ostian military, because he will only pledge loyalty to his beloved wife. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: Eirika and both Seth and Forde. Played with in regards to Tana and Cormag, as he doesn't become her Knight unless one gets their shared ending. Natasha and both Seth and Joshua are milder versions of this and since Joshua is a Rebel Prince, it's subverted. Gender-flipped with Vanessa and Innes. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance: Elincia and Geoffrey. Even more so if the player gets them hitched and ultimately married via an A Support in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Fire Emblem: Awakening: Genderflipped by both Chrom/either Sully or Sumia (Prince of Ylisse and Cavalier/Pegasus Knight from his realm) and Virion/Cherche (former duke of the fallen country of Rosane and his faithful ex-retainer). Gender-flipped and subverted with Chrom/Cordelia, as the latter does not get together with him as she thinks their relationship won't work. Played straighter with Frederick/Lissa (retainer of the Ylisse royalty and Chrom's little sister — doubling as First Love since Frederick was Lissa's first crush), Lissa/Lon'qu (Valmese warrior specifically tasked with guarding Lissa, at least in their supports), and Gaius/Maribelle (Lovable Rogue and Ojou with a rather complicated shared past). Probably, also Henry/Maribelle (Creepy Good Blood Knight who, if he declares his love to her, offers to be her knight in bloodstained armor). Fire Emblem Fates: Each of the princes and princesses of Nohr (morally grey kingdom with many kindhearted people, that the Avatar fights to reform) and Hoshido (former war-like state that is now pacifistic and needs the Avatar's help to keep peace) has two personal retainers and fulfills the trope with them in one way or another. The Avatar him/herself is a badass prince or princess so he/she has their own personal retainers who fight by his/her side: Jakob, Felicia, Kaze, and Silas join him or her no matter what path is chosen, Gunther and Flora join in under certain circumstances, and Shura can potentially join in all paths should his life be spared. Fire Emblem: Three Houses gives us Petra and Ashe in their paired ending, with Petra establishing an order of knights for Ashe to lead when she inherits her throne. Dimitri and Ingrid's paired ending is a gender-flipped version. Rhea and Jeralt appear to have had this relationship in the Backstory.

He's served as a loyal Knight in Shining Armor to Buffy, Cordelia, Faith, and even Fred. He accidentally kills a lady's knight (thinking he was a bad guy), and has to take his place in a joust for her unborn baby's soul. Chivalry goes far when it comes to him. Spike, who originally starts out as a Black Knight serving Dark Lady Drusilla, before eventually becoming a sort of White Knight to Buffy herself in later seasons. Willow is extremely protective of Tara and Buffy. (The latter in a strictly Mixed-Orientation Life Partners / The Not-Love Interest way.) It's rather interesting because in both cases, Willow is much more like a Black Knight protecting a Bright Lady.

Lady and Knight / int_2bf58725	comment	George, Duke of Clarence and his wife Isabel Neville are this in the I, Richard Plantagenet Series. They are childhood sweethearts who deeply love each other and support each others dark ambitions. She wants him to have the crown; he wants her to have all of her mother's fortune, cutting out her younger sister. They scheme and plot, including him kidnapping and forcing her sister to work as a servant, but they are ultimately thwarted. Ironically, their younger siblings get everything George and Isabel desired without seeking any of it.

Lady and Knight / int_2d644371	comment	Tales Series: In Tales of Symphonia, Collette serves as the Bright Lady who wants to save the world and Lloyd is the White Knight that wants to protect her from everybody, including herself. Tales of Vesperia: Estelle and Flynncount, though the fact she keeps slipping from his watch could count as a subversion. Estelle and Yuri would probably be an example of Bright Lady and Black Knight. She's the naÃ¯ve Wide-Eyed Idealist, while he's the roguish Vigilante Man. However, he becomes fiercely protective of her mere moments after they meet and only becomes more so as time goes on. He may not be a literal knight anymore, but he certainly fits the bill. Tales of Arise: Dohalim and Kisara are a twist on this trope: a lord and a female knight who are both capable fighters and protect each other on the battlefield. Their story is about how being from different social classes (and different cultures) can create conflict between such a pair. By the end of the game, they learn to see each other as equals. The changes in their relationship are marked by what Kisara calls him â€” from â€œLord Dohalimâ€� or â€œmy lordâ€� to just â€œDohalimâ€� then later, his nickname â€œDoâ€�. Some moments in the game also hint at a growing romantic attraction to each other.

Lady and Knight / int_2ef7cb74	comment	Lyrical Nanoha: The Mistress of the Night Sky, Hayate, has this kind of relationship with her Belkan Knights, the Wolkenritter, especially with regards to Vita who is very devoted to her. The relationship began with Hayate as the sickly Damsel in Distress they must protect until Hayate managed to come into power as a Person of Mass Destruction that leads them in battle. In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid, the various flashbacks we have to the time of Ancient Belka showed that Hegemon Klaus Ingvalt saw his relationship with Sankt Kaiser Olivie in this manner. Unsurprisingly, when Klaus failed to stop Olivie's eventual Heroic Sacrifice, he didn't handle it very well.

Both gentlemen will even address her as "my lady" (Cullen only once, Blackwall often). A male Inquisitor can invoke shades of it in his romance with Cassandra, owing to her love of chivalry and romantic ideals.

The thing is, it's a Romance Sidequest, and everything suggests that by the end of it, Ranni genuinely loves you - that, and the game makes it clear her real goal is to save the world from the manipulations of the Greater Will, as her family was torn apart by its edicts, and freeing humanity from the existential horror of being subject to the politics of Jerkass Gods. Moreover, while she wants your help, she initially tries to push you away, as she initially feels the burden is hers alone to bear. As a result, Ranni comes off as an Affably Evil Anti-Villain at worst, and it only ends badly if you betray her.

Shirayuki is the woman Prince Zen intends to marry but as a commoner with uncommon beauty and a job that gives her access to the royal family she is much more easily targeted by a wider array of people than a prince's intended consort generally would be. When she ends up with a job serving the Queen's brother where he can't follow after he's been serving at her side for over two years he doesn't quite know what to do with himself. While Obi does have a Bodyguard Crush on Shirayuki he's too dediated and respectful of Shirayuki and Zen's relationship to act on it beyond admitting it to Zen.

While Hak is terrifying when angry, there's never any doubt that the handsome and loyal man is a White Knight. He is even in love with her, and only her, even before he became her guard. As for Yona, she is very definitely a Bright Lady, and although she starts out as a Damsel in Distress, she does NOT stay there, quickly moving to a Damsel out of Distress, gradually becoming an Action Girl. For her part, she is fond of Hak, but not in the same way, at first. After they become aware that their feelings are mutual, politics renders them unable to act on it, resulting in a little Courtly Love.

Tramp acts as protector when she gets lost in the streets, but is at first reluctant to help her back to her home, as he is leery of humans; in a way, he's also trying to protect her from what he perceives is the shackles of domesticity. His irresponsibility gets Lady in trouble when they raid a chicken coop and she gets taken to the pound, and what she learns about his past there leads to a falling out. He redeems himself by saving Darling and Jim Dear's baby from a rat and eventually warms up to domestic life and becomes a White Knight.

While she is more of a Femme Fatale than a Proper Lady, Arianne herself isn't truly evil and means well all things considered, so she doesn't qualify as the "Dark Lady" version of this trope.

Some games emphasize this aspect of their relationship more than others, such as the original game, A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess (though this one's complicated; see below), Spirit Tracks, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild. The latter is of note, as Link is explicitly Zelda's appointed knight, sworn to protect her at all costs. In Twilight Princess, Link is the knight to another princess (Midna who's closer to Dark Lady, at least at first), who even lampshades it once or twice. Also an example of Royals Who Actually Do Something, as she is a very competent Dark Lady.

It's somewhat ambiguous whether Pearl imagined the whole dynamic with Rose Quartz, though. Later, she trains Connie to be the knight to Steven's lady/lord, though she ends up overdoing it by almost treating Connie Maheswaran like an expendable pawn that should only live and die for Steven Quartz Universe. (And probably projecting her own issues on her). This unintentionally makes Connie's already self-worth problems worse, until both Connie and Steven confront Pearl on it and she admits it's not the best. Sapphire and Ruby also started out having this dynamic; Sapphire being the elegant and noble aristocratic gem, Ruby being her common soldier bodyguard. They clearly moved towards a completely egalitarian relationship, though.

He seems to follow her every command blindly as an Unwitting Pawn, despite being irritated by her constant seduction attempts. But Tsubakiâ€™s attempts to turn Akira away from Alpha, make him recite a list of Manipulative Bitch actions sheâ€™s taken before citing I Gave My Word and I Owe You My Life to justify serving her in a My Master, Right or Wrong situation. Generally speaking however, Akira is a Defrosting Ice King who becomes more and more connected to those around him, despite Alphaâ€™s wishes to keep him isolated and dependent on her.

It can also be tweaked to work with Khem Val, in a completely nonromantic and nonsexual sense — you're a Sith, and he's a "Shadow Killer" assassin sworn to obey you. A Dark-sided male Sith Inquisitor and Ashara will become this instead of the White Knight/Bright Lady example above; you're a Sith who loves a good torture, and she's a fallen Jedi who swears Undying Loyalty to you. A Dark-Sided female Sith Warrior and Malavai Quinn: you're a Sith, he's an Imperial officer, and he behaves in a manner of absolute devotion and loyalty even if you don't romance him.

Lady and Knight / int_853f9f69	comment	An odd, gender-flipped example in Armored Core: from the Ashes. Ghost is a masterful Chessmaster and Magnificent Bastard, and is paired with Fiona Jarnefeldt, a severely Yandere, insane pilot who used to be normal, but prior to the story, was subjected to Mind Rape by Ghost... who she happened to be in love with at the time. However, this is subverted — although his 'Knight' does much of his dirty work, Ghost is an even more competent pilot (explicitly stated to be the best on Earth, tied with Kruger, his Arch-Enemy and the story's Hero Antagonist; this naturally leads to discussion later on of whether they can qualify as gods because of their power), and will often deploy onto the battlefield if things are looking particularly bad to deliver a Curb-Stomp Battle on his enemies (unless Kruger is involved, in which case you either end up with a massive high-speed battle, while the two discuss deep philosophical matters of good and evil, right and wrong, and whether Ghost's actions are justified or not, or one of the two calling a full retreat (which Ghost's Knight may not always obey). For that matter, Ghost used to have a weird example of this with a Bright Lady-Black Knight pairing with Holly. He outranked her, but he often insisted that she stay behind and not get herself into trouble, and she could give him orders and he'd obey. Of course, after Holly got Laser-Guided Amnesia, didn't remember Ghost, and Ghost pulled a sort-of Faceâ€“Heel Turn to go into opposition against all mankind as part of The Plan, this pairing was promptly broken up and replaced with the even stranger one listed above.

They behave like particularly quarrelsome siblings and openly confess their hatred for one another, but protect him she does, until released from the duty.

More specifically, in KOF 97, which reveals that Yuki is the last descendant of one of the Eight Kushinadas, a group of legendary Barrier Maidens who were ritually sacrificed to bring back Orochi into this world — except for one, which totally ruined the awakening ritual. 1800 years later, Yuki becomes a target of the Orochis who now want to re-awaken Orochi itself; her boyfriend Kyo learns about it from Yashiro, Shermie and Chris, and he is NOT pleased. In the Sacred Treasure Team's ending, when Kyo is contacted by the spirit of the Yasakani, the other thing they ask him for (aside from sealing Orochi with Iori and Chizuru) is to protect "Kushinada" aka Yuki. He does both things, and Yuki is saved. It also looks like Kensou really wants to be like this with Athena. (On the other hand, Athena isn't exactly thrilled as she's an Action Girl already and cares for him as a friend only). In Athena: Awakening from the Ordinary Life, he even refers to himself as "Athena's Knight" and tries to help her as much as possible, despite not having any powers in that continuity.

While she does her Politically-Active Princess thing to improve the lives of her subjects, she is often a target by bad guys or court rivals. Both Siron Esrah and Culmus Stratos are brave and noble warriors who protect her, and both of them have been her boyfriend (though not at the same time). However, the one she relies on the most, Eric Watley, is more like her big brother. During Mana Mutation Menace, one of the villains attacks her with a dragon golem and taunts her with how she never wins her own battles. Annala invokes this trope in order to save Eric from The Grim Reaper (long story). Basically, The reaper made a bet with a trickster that Eric would not relapse into a savage monster mindset after recovering from mana mutation. After an incident of savagery, Annala says that he was not acting like a savage monster but a more noble creature called "A lady's knight" because he was protecting her.

While M'Quve may not look the part of the Black Knight, he plays it very well, plotting all of Kycilia's strategies, doing her dirty work, and finally engaging the Gundam in a one-on-one duel on her behalf; his last thoughts, as he dies, are of her. Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ: Mashmyre Cello thinks he's the Knight In Shining Armour to Haman Khan's Lady. In reality, he's just another of Haman's pawns... at least initially. As the series progresses and becomes darker, Haman finds herself with a real shortage of reliable henchmen; the now far more cynical and mentally/emotionally broken Mashmyre is able to become the Black Knight to her Dark Lady, carrying out all her worst strategies in exchange for her attention, like the Colony Drop on Dublin.

Utena is an outspoken Action Girl who wants to emulate a Knight in Shining Armor she met as a child. Anthy is an Extreme Doormat Damsel in Distress who stays this way for most of the series. Exploited by Akio, who counted on Utena and her chivalrous spirit, showing her Anthy's Fate Worse than Death so Utena would be dragged into the dueling game. Utena is understandably devastated when she finds out, and also realizes that she had played the prince role wrong, protecting Anthy to bolster her own ego without having any real consideration for her lady's feelings. It's only then that Utena starts to genuinely play the role of knight toward Anthy — by vowing to help save her "lady" from her curse, which ends with Utena vanishing from the world, but giving Anthy the courage to call Akio out, walk away from him and Ohtori, take control of her own life, and go search for Utena herself.

Lady and Knight / int_9a67b688	comment	From Case Closed: While Ran Mouri is a fairly strong Action Girl, there's an arc involving her as a princess in a School Play that exploits the "princess and knight" symbolism to the hilt with her and The Hero Shinichi Kudo, who is mostly stuck in a child's body (as the titular Conan) but is temporarily back to his real physical age during said arc. Additionally, during Lupin III vs. Detective Conan, Ran daydreams of herself as a princess and Shinichi as her knight. When the already adult Shuichi Akai gave a Declaration of Protection to a little girl named Ai Haibara while masquerading as Subaru Okiya, he explicitly compared her to a princess and himself to a knight that would protect her. Subverted in that there are no romantic undertones because not only Ai is much younger than Akai and is Older Than They Look thanks to a Fountain of Youth, but she is the sister of his dead girlfriend Akemi, who is implied to have asked him to protect Ai before being murdered. Sonoko Suzuki and her boyfriend Makoto Kyougoku are a more informal example. Sonoko is a Genki Girl Ojou with very bad luck, whereas Makoto is a karate champion with downright Super-Strength, and he has protected his "Bright Lady" just like a "White Knight" would several times.

In fact, the PokÃ©dex for both Gardevoir and Gallade describe them as showing Undying Loyalty to their trainer, making it possible for Gardevoir to play the Knight for its trainer. Gardevoir's name in Japanese is even Sirknight.

She's basically an Einzbern princess with a huge heart and Saber is literally a Knight in Shining Armor. This is to contrast the other half of team Einzbern. Sola-Ui wants to be this with her fiancÃ© Kayneth's Servant, Lancer and for this reason she steals Kayneth's command seals so that she will be his liege lord. Lancer is most certainly a White Knight given that his only motivation for fighting in the Grail War is to loyally serve his master while she is darker given the above spoiler.

The twist is that though Lelouch in particular has the trappings of evil, both are heroic individuals who only do the Necessarily Evil to fight the greater evil; that said, they fit this dynamic over the more traditionally "good" set up. Later on Kallen abandons Lelouch when it seems he plans to become a dictator and Suzaku takes her place as his knight.

Lady and Knight / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Cecil and Rosa in Final Fantasy IV. Cecil rescues her a bunch of times and is protective of her, though it's worth observing that Rosa is just as invested in protecting him, having learned White Magic specifically to do it. Final Fantasy VIII has Rinoa and Squall — although it's worth noting that it's mostly Rinoa keeping them on the "bright" side of the archetype; Squall makes it very clear that he does not care much about morality as far as keeping Rinoa safe is concerned. "Sorceress Knight" is actually treated as an official position by Edea and Cid Kramer who are also a somewhat unorthodox example pair; he's not by any means a fighter (at least now that he is older), but he does everything he can to protect Edea and support her emotionally. Late in the story, there's an optional scene where Edea advises a newly-minted sorceress, Rinoa that the best way of dealing with her situation is to find a knight who will "protect her heart." Cid and Edea also theorize that the evil sorceresses, Adel and Ultimecia, probably did not have Sorceress Knights who loved them. Final Fantasy XII has Princess Ashe and literal knight Basch, who has sworn to protect her, although she's more of an Anti-Hero than the usual Bright Lady. They aren't a couple, though there is some Ship Tease. Dissidia Final Fantasy: This is the dynamic between Cosmos, the Goddess of Harmony, and her champion the Warrior of Light. Final Fantasy XIV: The leaders of the city state of Ul'Dah. Nanamo the kind-hearted sultana and her army commander Raubahn, a former champion gladiator.

The changes in their relationship are marked by what Kisara calls him â€” from â€œLord Dohalimâ€� or â€œmy lordâ€� to just â€œDohalimâ€� then later, his nickname â€œDoâ€�.

Lady and Knight / int_c02ce5b4	comment	House of the Dragon has two opposing factions, each with a mixed Bright/Dark Lady and her not-so-ambiguously Dark Knight, a man who's eager to be violent on her behalf. By the end of Season 1, Rhaenyra Targaryen isn't totally white nor is she dark, but her husband Daemon definitely fits the dark knight version of the trope. Queen Alicent Hightower is a mixture of the Bright/Dark Lady to her Black Knight, Ser Criston Cole. Criston served Alicent, and Rhaenyra before that. In that time, the whole "sworn sword" institution has been Deconstructed on multiple counts. As a member of the Kingsguard, Criston has taken a Vow of Celibacy, insuring he has unfulfilled longings. As a noblewoman's sworn sword, his entire job description is to act rather like a partner (loyal protector, supporter, confidant, and companion) to a beautiful lady he's encouraged to idealize. Under those circumstances, developing feelings for his liege lady is not surprising — the situation is practically designed to invoke Bodyguard Crush. And on the ladies' side, if he's acting like your partner, he's wholly devoted to you, and then he's hot on top of that... Considering any amorous conduct between the two is strictly forbidden, who thought this was a good idea? The Lady and Knight situation is also ripe for abuse of power. The knight's sworn to obey his lady's every command. The only thing in place to protect the knight is a vow that the lady's not supposed to ask anything of him that would bring him dishonor. But a single vow is hardly a reliable safeguarding system. Moreover, his role encourages an atmosphere where she feels she can trust and depend on him, therefore she can ask him for things she wouldn't ask of anyone else — even inappropriate requests, such as sex, or to cut out a child's eye. When that happens, the fact that he always obeys her makes it very uncomfortable for him to break script and say no, even if he does technically have grounds to do so. In Criston's specific case this is doubly true because he's lowborn and owes his status entirely to his liege ladies — he extra can't risk their displeasure.

Lady and Knight / int_d46ea355	comment	Riliane and her servant/twin brother Allen have this relationship in Evillious Chronicles, as depicted in the songs Daughter of Evil and Servant of Evil. The 14-year-old queen rules with an iron fist, squandering money seized from her people and executing protesters. Her twin brother acts as her knight, shielding her from hatred and allowing her to retain her childlike innocence. When a foreign prince favored a green-haired lady over her, she ordered her brother to murder her and everyone else with green hair, not realizing he'd fallen in love with that girl. When the people finally revolt against her, they exchange clothing and he dies in her place.

Lady and Knight / int_d6423831	comment	In John Carter of Mars the titular character has this dynamic with his love interest Dejah Thoris. He is a Virginian gentleman who got mysteriously transported to Mars where he gains super-strength and agility and she is a Red Martian princess, proud, brave, highly aristocratic and always holds her resolve, despite being frequently placed in both mortal danger and the threat of being dishonored by the lust of villains. Happens several times throughout the series. Culturally, a formal proposal of marriage and an oath of fealty take the same form: that of throwing your sword to the ground at a person's feet. The romantic version is especially notable with Carthoris and Thuvia, Gahan and Tara, Pan Dan Chee and Llana, and Vad Varo and Valla Dia. At one point shortly after Carter and Dejah Thoris meet, he says to her "my sword is at your feet"; she realizes he's unaware of the implications and is therefore mostly amused by this.

Lady and Knight / int_d7a30fe3	comment	Blame!: Mensab, the AI control system of Toha Heavy Industries, and Seu, her bionically enhanced human muscle. Their designs are clearly meant to evoke this trope, with Seu literally carrying a scified-up European broadsword. Mensab isn't exactly functioning as intended, so whether the two are bright or dark is really up to interpretation. Additionally, the two central characters, Killy and Cibo, are knight and lady respectively. Again, bright or dark is pretty debatable.

Magister Negi Magi: Konoka Konoe is the Bright Lady (kind and friendly with healing magic) and Setsuna Sakurazaki is her White Knight (serious, devoted, and skilled in swordsmanship). Like Revolutionary Girl Utena, both are female. When visiting the Kyoto Movie Town, they even dress up as a Japanese noblewoman and a samurai. Negi's parents Nagi and Princess Arika were also like this back in the day. Arika even knighted Nagi herself, although he prefers to be addressed as "mage" instead of "knight". He fought many battles on her behalf while she used her royal influence to try and end the war.

While M'Quve may not look the part of the Black Knight, he plays it very well, plotting all of Kycilia's strategies, doing her dirty work, and finally engaging the Gundam in a one-on-one duel on her behalf; his last thoughts, as he dies, are of her.

Gender-flipped and subverted with Chrom/Cordelia, as the latter does not get together with him as she thinks their relationship won't work. Played straighter with Frederick/Lissa (retainer of the Ylisse royalty and Chrom's little sister — doubling as First Love since Frederick was Lissa's first crush), Lissa/Lon'qu (Valmese warrior specifically tasked with guarding Lissa, at least in their supports), and Gaius/Maribelle (Lovable Rogue and Ojou with a rather complicated shared past). Probably, also Henry/Maribelle (Creepy Good Blood Knight who, if he declares his love to her, offers to be her knight in bloodstained armor).

He doesn't quite realize initially that he's more of a Dark Knight than a Bright Knight, or at least is in quite a bit of denial about it for a while. Later, understanding how he's being used but feeling he's gone too far to turn back, Seifer abandons the role of "knight" entirely.

The Analysis section mentions that it's very common for Black Knights to be mind-controlled by their Dark Ladies: that's what happens here, between the Brainwashed Prince Rilian and the Lady of the Green Kirtle. It ends up backfiring when Rilian, fully released from the brainwashing by the Power Trio (Jill, Eustace, and Puddleglum), turns against the Lady and kills her when she takes her serpent form.

Robin is seen as the Dark Lady by many because of her heritage and some of her actions are brutal considering what the rest of the team does but at heart, she's a Bright Lady trying to do what's right. Amon ultimately betrays both Zizain and SOLOMON to protect Robin from danger and is seen as a Dark Knight who's gone rogue, though he wavers back and forth. Robin herself calls him her "watch dog" because he will make sure she survives unless she loses herself to her power. At which point he will kill her himself.

However, Ragna is an Anti-Hero and has absolutely no interest in serving under Rachel and works towards his own goals. There's also a lot of bickering involved between the two. Ragna does eventually come around and starts to reluctantly, play this straight. Played straight with Jin and Tsubaki, though they're both technically royalty being a part of two high-ranking noble families. Also played straight with Naoto and Rachel, though she treats him more like a servant than a knight.

Lady and Knight / int_fab472d2	comment	The Fair Lady and the Chosen Undead in Dark Souls, should you join the Chaos Servant covenant. The Fair Lady is quite unambiguously a Bright Lady, being one of the most selfless and noble characters in the entire game (for the record: she sacrificed her health for the sake of random townspeople after becoming a monster most people would run screaming from), but the Chosen Undead, being a Featureless Protagonist, can be both a White and a Black Knight, depending on how you play. Kirk, Knight of Thorns, is a much clearer example of a Black Knight serving a Bright Lady, as he invades other worlds in the guise of a Darkwraith to harvest their Humanity — and gives it all to heal the Fair Lady back in his own world. There are shades of it with the Chosen Undead and Reah. Though she is initially dismissive of you, you can save her from danger multiple times, and she grows very attached to you. Sadly, her storyline can only end in tragedy. If you leave Petrus, who previously abandoned her to die, alive, he will kill her while you are away. If you stop that potential end and buy all her miracles she has available, she will eventually get trapped in Seath's Library, where she will go hollow. The only way to keep her alive to the end is to not buy all her miracles.

Sousuke has every intention of fulfilling his duty as the ever-faithful White Knight to Kaname's Bright Lady, but he has absolutely no experience outside of being a soldier and the Bright Lady he's been assigned to protect is an Ordinary High-School Student. The end result is that he often ends up valiantly "protecting" her from mundane annoyances with wildly excessive force.
