History Characters / Air

* GlassCannon: Her powers are undoubtably deadly -- they can slice through an entire mountain range at maximum output -- but they (and her combat skills in general) are so crude and simple that once you get past her powers after she leaves herself open, she has perfectly ordinary durability and pain tolerance -- which is even more of a problem than it sounds, since being a winged being apparently requires some level of concentration on her part. Any reasonably serious injury will distract her so much that she essentially loses any meaningful ability to fight back against whoever injured her, leaving her entirely dependent on her first-strike capabilities. There's a reason why the soldiers are easily able to kill her.

* GlassCannon: Her powers are undoubtably deadly -- they can slice through an entire mountain range at maximum output -- but they (and her combat skills in general) are so crude and simple that they offer her zero defensive options.

* PeekABangs: His hair is like this. One would think it was a way to justify FeaturelessProtagonist, but he has a face even in the VN.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: She speaks with this accent.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: Anime only. He speaks standard Japanese in the game.

* TheCutie: And she gets [[spoiler:thoroughly [[BreakTheCutie broken]] and even [[KilltheCutie killed]] [[TearJerker in the game, movie, and anime]].]]
* DelicateAndSickly: While she's introduced as seemingly healthy and energetic, she actually suffers from a mysterious illness [[spoiler:which is later revealed to be a curse]] where she becomes sick if she comes to love someone and is loved back. [[spoiler:In the end, this illness kills her.]]
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:She dies in Haruko's arms.]]

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Misuzu's final smile for her mommy is so cute that it makes her passing all the more heartbreaking.]]

* StepfordSmiler: To some extent. [[spoiler:She acts cheerful, but she's really suffering from a generations-old curse which makes it difficult, even nigh impossible, for her to have close friendships with anyone. After all, whenever she does, unless she distances herself, she essentially is condemned to progressively suffer until her life snuffs out.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: Notice that all plot points involving her are spoiler tagged.

* {{Curse}}: {{Justified|Trope}}. She was the curse of the Winged Ones and it got passed down to her daughter Kanna who touched her despite her warnings.

* {{Bishonen}}: He looks a lot less generic than most harem leads -- though ''AIR'' isn't really a harem show in the traditional sense -- and even sparkles in the movie.

* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Her mother was an IllGirl her whole life and died after complications following Kano's birth, and her father, the previous Dr. Kirishima before Hijiri followed in his path, worked himself to death.

* BikerBabe: She drives a motorbike.

* CuteClumsyGirl: To the MAX. She practically can't walk five feet without tripping on... [[UpToEleven well, nothing in particular]].
