He doesn't know much in terms of pure information, but he's got a lot of raw intelligence and can generally work out an answer with logic and reason.

What may be his biggest one, however, is people who spew the word "justice" as a justification for their less-than-just actions. He also can't stand cowardice and hypocrisy. He also really hates the Desians, due in no small part to their role in his mother's death. First and foremost, don't badmouth his mother. Berserk Button: He has a couple, due to his Hot-Blooded nature.Raine: How do you manage to sleep standing? He's woken up when Raine (his teacher) throws an eraser into his face. Asleep in Class: Lloyd does this once, notable in that he falls asleep, standing up, while also holding a bucket full of water in each hand.He does this with random civilians too, such as Chocolat, Princess Hilda and Kate. Depending on his "soul mate" choice, this can also be reflected in the final kidnapping segment of the game.

Always Save the Girl: He always makes it a point to save Colette from trouble.Also, the angel wings he gets in the end are reminiscent of actual bird's wings, unlike those of Colette, Zelos, and the Four Seraphim. Rising Falcon is his only arcane arte that isn't a fusion or derivative of his earlier artes, and his Mystic Arte is titled Falcon's Crest. Animal Motifs: Falcons, and birds in general.Consider that he gets angel wings at the end of the game. His birth father Kratos is an angel, and his Exsphere is a Cruxis Crystal. Ambiguously Human: It's referenced a couple of times, since his father is a dwarf, though Lloyd is quick to point out that he's adopted.Just after defeating Mithos and shattering his Exsphere, Lloyd laments that "you could have lived with us in our world". All-Loving Hero: Not at first, but after Character Development, he tries to save everyone, in both worlds, and even feels sympathy for the villains they're forced to fight.Heck, he even straight-up kisses her on the lips in one scene. It can be argued that his Oblivious to Love status was also downplayed in the OVA he and Colette both act significantly more romantic toward each other.One of the biggest examples of this is that in the game, an early plot point showcasing his idiocy revolves around Lloyd forgetting to make Colette a necklace in time for her birthday, but Lloyd gives her a birthday necklace in the OVA within the first couple minutes of the first episode. Adaptational Personality Change: In the OVA, Lloyd's status as an Idiot Hero is downplayed, to the point it arguably becomes an Informed Attribute, with characters mentioning his apparent stupidity (even himself) in-universe, but actual evidence of it being largely absent.

Gets Flanderized in some other games where he becomes an actual pervert. Evolves to a sort-of Running Gag in spin-off games: He gets pulled into these situations in Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology as well as in Dawn of the New World. Accidental Pervert: Lloyd received the title " Peeping Tom" when he caught Zelos (who ran when the girls heard noises) spying on the girls in the hot spring scene.By Dawn of The New World, the king of Tethe'alla is calling him Bud as well. Accidental Misnaming: After Zelos refers to Lloyd as "his bud" (hunny in the Japanese version), Sebastian starts referring to him as Sir Bud.He drops it when the group ends up in Tethe'alla when Raine borrows it when they first meet Zelos, he decides that "it sounds kinda arrogant". Abandoned Catchphrase: For the Sylvarant portion of the game, Lloyd has "Give me your name and I'll give you mine" when confronted.At the beginning of the game, Lloyd is a typical overly idealistic Idiot Hero, but he grows upon discovering the world as it is, making his idealism into a goal to save both worlds and everyone living inside it. "Dwarven Vow #1: Let's all work together for a peaceful world."Ī 17-year-old human who was raised by a dwarf, Lloyd leaves his home town of Iselia to follow his childhood friend Colette on her World Regeneration journey after having been banished from the village, where he's held responsible for the attack they suffered from the Desians.
