Human Weapon: Chimeras, like Briar, are people turned into magical soldiers for fighting Wraiths and the Corrupted. They're seen as Transhumans, and often feared for it.

Papa Wolf: Deconstructed; Donovan underwent the Chimera transformation to keep his dead daughter Hannah at his side. Problem is she hates her existence as a shade (and it's implied that such an existence causes her immeasurable pain), and lashes out against anything and anyone associated with the Order with dire consequences.

comment
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Chimera who Transcend gain a humongous boost in power to near-deific levels. They also completely lose their minds, becoming uncontrollably bloodthirsty or developing massive god complexes. Briar and Lute are the only ones who Transcend and manage to keep their sanity intact.

comment
Ax-Crazy: Both of Jared and Jadon are bloodthirsty and sadistic, but Jadon edges out as being the more deranged of the two halves. Most of his battle chatter is loud and manic proclamations of his desire to kill and crush Briar and Lute. Appropriately, his "half" of their head has its lips peeled back into a permanent snarl. Demian, Armina's shade, is similarly insane. His first order of business upon being reawakened is to attempt to kill Briar and Lute while laughing maniacally. Even prior to being turned into a shade, he apparently committed mass murder in order to get Armina's attention.

 Soulstice (Video Game) / int_3dcc914f
comment
Took a Level in Kindness: Layton starts the game very clearly wanting nothing to do with Briar, her sister, and the crisis of the city in general, with the increasingly dire situation further souring his temper. As the story goes on, he softens his attitude somewhat, starts revealing important truths and becomes genuinely worried for the sisters when the look like they have lost themselves to the Ascension.

Touched by Vorlons: The source of a Chimera's power. The name comes from how they're essentially two people in one: A human to physically fight, and a ghost to make the monsters corporeal. In Briar's case, this is her and her sister Lute.

comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Layton is a bona fide First-Person Smartass, makes his dislike of the sisters and their condition quite clear, and speaks like he always has a thinly veiled insult under his tongue. He is also an agent of the Triarchy, working in secret to undermine the evil efforts of the real antagonist; Lord Dugal. He remains your staunch ally through the whole game, saves Briar's life in at least one occasion, and puts a great deal of trust on the sisters getting things done.

comment
Sequel Hook: Briar and Lute save the day by absorbing the relic after defeating Hannah, and they in turn become fully Transcended, though they thankfully still retain their sanity. Layton urges them to hide as they've now become a target for the Order, but just as they leave, Kordelia the Reaper shows up with Lord Dugal. As Kordelia departs to hunt down the Transcended sisters, Dugal looks to the horizon to show Layton the cities of Doran and Rheim, with different Tears cracking open the sky just like in Ilden.

Blood Knight: Jadon and Jared love themselves a good fight and care very little for anything else. As Transcendent they are absolutely consumed by bloodlust, laughing maniacally and spitting taunts as they rampage. They don't even begrudge Briar and Lute when they are slain by them, because they are so happy the sisters gave them the battle of a lifetime.

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Armina forcibly suppressed Demian's consciousness upon fusing with him due to the latter's uncontrollable bloodlust. Demian, upon being reawakened, derides Armina for her haughty personality and lofty speeches. When Armina is defeated, Demian decides to finally pay her back for attempting to imprison him by killing her, even though it also kills him in the process. Briar cannot stand Layton at first, and the feeling is reciprocated. They become more amicable with each other when his actual role and her memories comes to light.

Shout-Out: The Reveal trailer has Briar smashing through a window in a way that brings to mind 2B smashing through a wall at the start of NieR: Automata. As Berserk was cited as an influence to the game, Donovan's name is a rather twisted joke, as it's a reference to a character from the manga who raped Guts, the main protagonist, while the latter was still a child.
