* OneWomanArmy: Mirei's flashback shows her taking down an actual army of HumongousMecha that were sent after her. She only lost because she's hit with a MacrosMissileMasacre from behind, while she was literally looking down at a terrified soldier who tried to kill her seconds before rather than simply killing him and running away.
* ThePollyana: Mamori is nothing but this. The only way she withstood what appears to be horrific bullying in her flashback, and the AttemptedRape of episode 2 is the belief that "her prince will come." She's suitably shocked when she realizes her "prince" is Mirei.
