History Characters / AldnoahZero

* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler: He's killed by Slaine in the third episode of Season 2.]]

* EyepatchOfPower: Sports one in the finale.

* AmbiguousDisorder: He's very single-minded, [[NoSocialSkills has severe difficulty communicating]], and [[CloudCuckoolander can get lost in his own world at times]]. He's outrageously calm for being a ChildSoldier and barely emotes at all. From a clinic perspective, those traits could be genuinely mistaken for a mild form of autism, but whether they are intended to be such or it's just a coincidential impression about the character is anyone's best guess.

* PhlebotinumBreakdown: The Moon's destruction caused all manner of unstable gravitic fluctuations across the Earth, which disabled her Kataphrakt's anti-gravity engines and left her trapped on the island while giant chunks of lunar rock were raining down

* TheChewToy: The poor guy can't catch a break. Every time it looks like he's about to achieve something substantial or reunite with the princess, fate never fails to screw him over. Only for the first cour, though: he becomes much more passive-aggressive and capable of standing up for himself in the second cour, and [[spoiler:with his accession as Count Slaine Saazbaum Troyard his chew toy days might just be over. [[spoiler:Or so you'd think...until the last episode when he's refused a [[SubvertedTrope honorable]] [[RedemptionEqualsDeath death]] and forced to pay for his crimes by rotting away in prison for the rest of his life]]. It seems that in Aldnoah.Zero, [[spoiler: everyone gets a happy ending...unless your name is Slaine Troyard]].

* PhlebotinumBreakdown: The Moon's destruction caused all manner of unstable gravitic fluctuations across the Earth, which disabled her Kataphrakt's anti-gravity engines and left her trapped on the island while giant chunks of lunar rock were raining down on her position.
* PosthumousCharacter: She is dead by the time the series starts, but her mecha is prominently featured in Marito's flashbacks. She's also Saazbaum's CynicismCatalyst.
* ShoutOut: The Deucalion is the very first Martian Kataphrakt shown in the series, via Marito's flashbacks. The fact that it's a tripod is without a doubt meant to immediately establish parallels between this series and ''Literature/WarOfTheWorlds''
* SmugSuper: After wiping out a whole squadron of tanks with ease, she comments to Saazbaum that Earth was hardly even worth coming to.
* TemptingFate: Just as she says that taking over Earth will be easier than expected, [[spoiler:the Hypergate explodes. The aftermath renders her mecha unable to fly and simultaneously causes a massive cataclysm on the Earth's surface...]]
* TripodTerror: The Deucalion is the only machine in the series to be a three-legged mech.

[[folder:Lemrina Vers Envers]]
[[quoteright:311:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/853f85f89e4bed06487b9ae84889922e.jpg]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShiinaNatsukawa (Japanese), Creator/KiraBuckland (English)

Introduced in Season 2. Another princess of Mars who is working with Slaine and Saazbaum by disguising herself as Asseylum, thanks to holographic illusions. While disguised, she sends messages to drum up Martian support for Saazbaum's cause. She is an illegitimate daughter of Emperor Gilzeria, making her Asseylum's half-sister.
----
* BastardBastard: An illegitimate daughter of the throne and heavily resentful of her sister.
* BodyDouble - ElCidPloy: Lemina disguises herself as her comatose half-sister in order to make radio broadcasts to the Martians, telling them to attack Earth.
* BodyguardCrush: She seems to have developed one on Slaine, if [[spoiler: the kiss on the lips that she gave him]] is an indication. [[spoiler: Taken further when she announces she's going to marry him at the end of Episode 18 after he defeats Marylcian in a duel.]]
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Lemrina (Smart Sister) resents Asseylum (Pretty Sister) since she is an illegitimate child while Asseylum is the "official" Martian Princess, and seeks to replace her as she works with Saazbaum and Slaine as Asseylum's BodyDouble.
* GreenEyedMonster: While she has some respect for Asseylum, she also holds some resentment towards her sister, as the latter is very well known, gets to enjoy life somewhat and see things for herself. Meanwhile Lemrina's existence is minimized to the point that only a few Martians are even aware of her existence, and she's largely restricted to a wheelchair.
* {{Hidden Backup Prince}}ss: She appears to be this, largely unknown to Vers society and confined to the Moon base just in case the Vers military needs someone who can activate Aldnoah in a pinch.
* IllGirl: She's confined to a wheelchair but seemingly isn't completely paraplegic as she can walk in low gravity.
* NotSoDifferent: Slaine tries to present himself as being in the same boat as Lemrina after she deactivates his Kataphrakt. At first it seems to work, as Lemrina stops being obstructive towards him and even helps him out on some of his plans. But later on she starts to get upset when she suspects he's just using her for her authority, as well as getting closer to Asseylum.
* PullTheThread: In a conversation with Slaine in episode 21, she asks how her sister's condition is. Slaine tells her Asseylum is still in critical condition, and that they should leave it to the medical staff. [[spoiler:However this is after she sees with her own eyes that Asseylum is no longer in her chamber, proving that he's been lying to her.]]
* RememberTheNewGuy: There was no indication there was another Martian princess before Season 2; this is justified in story by Lemrina being a royal bastard and needing a wheelchair. It's later revealed that she's a tightly kept secret, with only a very small number of personnel on the Moon base even knowing of her existence.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Lemrina is taught by Slaine about Earth and even has Eddelritou as an assistant, just like Asseylum once was. But it's heavily deconstructed as Lemrina is actively trying to replace the beloved Asseylum in people's lives, along with Slaine's.
* TheResenter:
** Towards her older sister. By episode 20, she really starts to get bitter towards Asseylum, due to Slaine's obsession with her. She also starts to suspect he's just using her for her power and authority to get closer to Asseylum as well.
** She eventually begins to feel this way about Slaine as well, due to him not spending much time with her, his obsession with Asseylum, making her continually act in her sister's place, and the runaround answers he keeps giving her when she tries to ask things more specific than "how goes the war?" [[spoiler:As a result of this, she tells Asseylum everything she knows that's happened since her coma, along with Slaine having turned into a completely different person.]]
* SickBedSlaying: Narrowly subverted. She goes to her sister's unconscious body and starts turning off the life support while telling her how how she (Asseylum) will be replaced. Lemrina backs out at the last minute and restores the life support, stating that while Asseylum is a puppet, she's also her sister. [[spoiler:In episode 19, she wonders if her doing this caused Asseylum's condition to change. Slaine claims her condition changed, implying it's for the worse, when in fact it's the opposite.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Unlike other major characters, we never see her in the final moments of the show. The last scene we saw of her is when she left the Lunar Base.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeHirakawa (Japanese), Ben Pronsky (English)

Slaine's personal servant, after his promotion to an Orbital Knight.
----
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: He is so loyal to Slaine that he refuses the last order given to him to abandon the moonbase and stop fighting per Asseylum's orders.
* NotSoDifferent: Like Slaine, he too has suffered lousy treatment by the upper-class society of Vers due to his low-born status. He's even okay with Slaine using underhanded moves in order to secure his status and post, going so far as to strip Martian knights of their status with trumped up charges if they refuse to obey and follow him.
* RagsToRoyalty: In episode 19, Slaine gives him a personal Kataphrakt for his undying loyalty.
* SecretKeeper: He's one of a handful of personnel on the Moon base who is aware of Lemrina's existence, and goes to great pains to make sure she stays a secret.
* UndyingLoyalty: Respects Slaine immensely, and seems to be his sole confidant [[spoiler: in his plan to kill Saazbaum]]. Even after Asseylum makes her surprise announcement to end hostilities, [[spoiler:he along with several other Martians, instead go out in a blaze of glory in a last ditch attack against the Deucalion.]]

[[folder:Yacoym]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KatsuyukiOkitsu

A VERS Baron introduced in the second season premiere. He pilots the Elysium Kataphrakt.
----

* AnIcePerson: It seems like this at first, but not really: his machine's reverse entropy field is actually collecting the kinetic energy caused by motion and storing it in a pocket dimension. The freezing is just a byproduct of that, explaining why the United Earth's squad's de-icing machines were useless.
* GlassCannon: The Elysium can project a seemingly impassable field that rapidly freezes opponents and ammo within a one kilometer radius... and that's it. Aside from that, it's slow, not very mobile, has very low defenses and no means of attack or defense.
* GracefulLoser: He compliments Inaho right before the latter kills him.
* HarmlessFreezing: Averted.
* OhCrap: He reacts this way as Inaho starts to close the distance.
* StarterVillain: For Season 2.

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/171f4654a5c19b1d214df3150b869977.jpg]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToshiyukiToyonaga (Japanese), Creator/RobbieDaymond (English)

A Versian Knight holding a position in North Africa, Mazurek is a reluctant participant in the Orbital Knights' invasion. Although he is duty-bound to aid in the attack on Earth, he'd be happier learning to live ''with'' the Terrans in his landing castle's territory instead of conquering and oppressing them.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: He's young, handsome, at times endearingly naive, and, most important, not [[CardCarryingVillain as blatantly evil]] as most other Martians, which makes him an EnsembleDarkhorse.
* BlowYouAway: His Kataphrakt utilizes this attack to deflect any incoming attack headed his way. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, while it's great for stopping attacks on someone fighting him on level ground, it doesn't protect him against a vertical attack launched from above.]]
* CripplingOverspecialization: His Kataphrakt is unbeatable when confronted on ground and it causes enemies to pass out from lack of oxygen. [[spoiler:Of course creating a giant funnel overhead means that someone in the sky can easily hit him]].
* NotSoDifferent: Inaho finds out that he's not hellbent on destroying Earth like some of the other Martian knights appear to be. [[spoiler:He also finds out Mazuurek enjoys studying Earth and its culture, and only attacked because of his obligations as a knight.]]
* PullTheThread: He manages to get an audience with Princess Asseylum, and relates his story of having been captured to her, and asking about her time on Earth. She tells him about her time there, and paints it in a negative light. [[spoiler:This contradicts everything Inaho told him about Asseylum, proving him right when he claimed this Asseylum is an imposter. He then conveniently manages to have his ship break down near Slaine's landing castle shortly after Slaine left, manages to find Eddelrittuo, and find the place the real Asseylum is at.]]
* PunchClockVillain: He doesn't really have any interest in attacking Earth, nor does he feel any hatred towards Earthlings. In fact, he greatly respects Earth and its culture and would rather not fight at all unless specifically ordered to.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name is derived from a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazurka traditional Polish dance]], which is spelled exactly this way in Polish, and the most subs use this spelling. On the other hand, the Japanese narration clearly says "Mazurka", which is a name of the dance that is normally used outside of Poland and is actually more popular around the world.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He laments having to attack Earth, and doesn't want to burn it to the ground like some of the more radical knights. [[spoiler:After Inaho finds out his loyalty lies with Asseylum, and like her, wanted a peaceful relationship with Earth, he helps Mazuurek escape prison to become a ReverseMole to find where she's at, and to help Inaho find out what Slaine's motives are.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Hiromichi Tezuka

An Orbital Knight who was one of the first to attack earth when war was declared. His castle landed in New Orleans, USA, and was the one to destroy the undersea communication cables. He pilots the Martian Kataphrakt Solis.
----
* AGodAmI: He's quite emphatic about the powers of his Kataphrakt.
-->--'''Count Selnakis''': Bow down before the might of the gods.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: For the Orbital Knights. His first act on earth is to easy destroy the Terran resistance, while monologuing about his superiority.
* FantasticRacism: To the Terrans.
-->--'''Count Selnakis''': "Stupid Primitives"
* FrickinLaserBeams: His Kataphrakt's power is a high powered laser mounted on the head.
* HollywoodScience: Averted: The laser the Kataphrakt Solis uses is very realistic. It is impossible to dodge, has no apparent recoil, and can only fire in a straight line. The last one is how they defeat it.
* HomingLasers: Averted: Soli's beams can only fire in a straight line. This means that the Deucalion can use it's artillery to bombard them over the horizon.
* StoicSpectacles: Selnakis is one of the more unemotional knights.

[[quoteright:178:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/50f715b888ef34a42cf5f452251e0359.png]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SusumuChiba (Japanese), Creator/DerekStephenPrince (English)

One of the VERS knights introduced in season 2 who holds great contempt for Slaine.
----
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: He attempts this when challenging Slaine in combat for the right to be the caretaker of the moon base and Princess Asseylum. However, he loses, and all of his assets, such as his landing castle and Kataphrakt, are then transferred to Slaine, inverting the trope.
* AssholeVictim: Considering his combative attitude towards Slaine, he could be considered one, even in light of everything Slaine had done to help out the VERS Empire.
* AttackDrone: The Herschel deploys a [[BeamSpam large number of remote-controlled laser cannons]].
* BeamSpam: His drones fire a lot of these. Even Slaine's Tharsis has difficulty evading them due to the sheer number of shots being fired.
* CurbStompBattle: Subverted when he fights Slaine. At first, it seems like he is going to destroy Slaine with his mech's massive amount of weaponry that even the Tharsis can't predict, but Slaine manages to trick him into entering an area that makes him waste most of his weapons. Immediately after, Slaine kills him almost instantly.
* DeathInAllDirections: His main plan to defeat the Tharsis's future sight ability is to hit it from all around at once, negating his enemy's advantage. Unfortunately for him, Slaine quickly found a way to trap his drones in a one-way tunnel and destroy them altogether.
* FantasticRacism: Shares this trait with all other racist Martians.
* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Marylcian's Herschel is virtually all-red, and with its AttackDrones is [[{{Expy}} far more similar structurally to the]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Sazabi]] than Slaine's own Tharsis. [[SubvertedTrope This is definitively subverted]], however, since [[WrongGenreSavvy Marylcian is not the]] CharClone of this series.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Slaine cuts his cockpit open, leaving Marylcian to die in space.
* UngratefulBastard: Some random Terran schlub saved Count Saazbaum, defeated many of our enemies, took out an entire spacebase on his own, and got adopted into the VERS knight ranks after repeatedly proving his loyalty to the VERS Empire? Sounds like I need to challenge him in combat and show him his place!

Introduced with Marylcian, another knight who cares little for Slaine's Earthborn heritage. He pilots the Octantis Kataphrakt.
----
* KillerYoYo: His Kataphrakt uses a pair of razor-sharp spinning discs on wires.
* NumberTwo: Was this to Marylcian, at least until the latter died.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: Almost as soon as Marylcian bit the dust, he wasted no time in sucking up to get into Slaine's good graces and his rising power.
* SpinToDeflectStuff: His yo-yos can also block shots by spinning really fast.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HitomiNabatame (Japanese), Creator/AmandaCelineMiller (English)
A VERS Baroness and member of the kataphract trio that attacks the Deucalion. She pilots the ''Scandia''.
----
* TheArcher: The ''Scandia'' use explosive arrows so enemies can't trace the shots back to her.
* BoringButPractical: Explosive arrows are rather mundane compared to other Martians' arsenal, but they get job done admirably.
* CombiningMecha: Briefly combines with the Elektris during the assault on the Deucalion. This makes it even harder to fight, as the Elektris' attacks remove smoke from the air, rendering both kataphracts invisible and ''invincible''.
* CrazyPrepared: Not only does her kataphract have both perfect camouflage and a perfectly silent weapons system, it even has the ability to dock with another kataphract that can eliminate one of its other weaknesses. The only reason it loses is because Inaho figured out how to exploit the traits of the ''pilots'' in order to work around their kataphracts' powers.
* GlassCannon: Her kataphract hits incredibly hard, but in order to maintain its stealth, it has no armor and is very weak should its stealth system be broken
* {{Invisibility}}: Taken UpToEleven: Her ''Scandia'' is almost perfectly invisible optically and is ''completely'' invisible to sensors. However, it is vulnerable to smoke, which will cause VisibleInvisibility.

One of the three VERS knights that worked together during the later half of the series. He pilots the Ortygia Kataphrakt.

* MesACrowd: And HOW!! Orga's Kataphrakt is able to create duplicates of itself infinitely. Inaho and the others initially thought that only way to destroy them was to destroy the original. [[spoiler: But as it turns out, that wasn't the case. The Ortygia uses quantum teleportation to make the duplicates, which basically means that ''every single Ortygia'' is the "real" one. The only way to stop them was to destroy ''every'' single one, ''at once!!'']]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyotaOhsaka (Japanese), Creator/VicMignogna (English)

A VERS knight introduced in Episode 21 as a visitor from the Vers homeworld. He is the son of Count Cruhteo, and has assumed his father's position during the timeskip.

----
* DoNotCallMePaul: He'd rather have everyone refer to him as Klancain as he finds it awkward to be called by his surname, which results in "Count Cruhteo".
* GenerationXerox: Like his father, Klancain is loyal the Emperor, and by extension Asseylum. So he questions what Slaine is trying to do when they meet, especially regarding Asseylum's wishes of creating a new empire on the moon.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Comes out of nowhere in Episode 21 and proceeds to become [[spoiler: the husband of Princess Asseylum]] by Episode 24 after the entire season's development between her and the other main characters.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Is very loyal to the VERS emperor. When he sees his father's Tharsis Kataphrakt, he clenches his fist briefly, probably at the thought that it's being misused by Slaine.
* NiceGuy: An amicable young man, unlike his haughty father.
* RememberTheNewGuy: There was no hint Cruhteo had a son until Klancain appeared. Also, he's fairly close to being a LastEpisodeNewCharacter.
[[/folder]]

* ChickMagnet: Yukie seems to think so when Rayet asks about him.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Ryota Takeuchi (Japanese), Creator/KaijiTang (English)

[[spoiler:In the finale, he becomes critically wounded during the raid against Saazbaum's landing castle, after he is shot in the eye by Slaine. He spends nearly nine months in rehabilitation before he is discharged back into active duty, with an "analytical engine" as a replacement for his destroyed left eye. He rejoins Mustang at the start of the second season, and once again becomes their ace in the hole when dealing with their Martian opponents.]]

[[spoiler:While in the first season he is an unwilling participant in the invasion of Earth, this changes once Saazbaum exposes the dirty underbelly of Versian society. Come the second season, he had mostly shed his Terran sympathies, and has focused all his energies to changing the situation at Vers, by any means necessary, up to and including using the image of Princess Asseylum for his plans and twisting the spirit of the princess' wishes.]]

[[spoiler:She is critically injured in the final episode of the first season during the raid on Count Saazbaum's landing castle. Her life was saved only through a deal Slaine made with Saazbaum, but due to her injuries remained in a coma for more than a year. She regains consciousness close to the end of the second season, at which she finds out -- from a sister she never knew existed at that -- that not only are things worse off than before, the Slaine she grew up with was no longer the person she knew.]]

[[spoiler:Come the second season, she becomes a permanent member of the Mustang Squad, and forms close friendships with both Inko and Nina. Outside of the squad however she still experiences some discrimination, being nicknamed "the Martian" by other Earth forces pilots.]]

[[spoiler:Inko becomes one of Inaho's wingmates in Mustang Squad, and remains an important core member in both seasons. Despite her complaints, she quietly goes along with Inaho's schemes, when all logic suggests that she should be clubbing her childhood friend and locking him up in the brig. For his own good.]]

[[spoiler:She and Rayet get along surprisingly well, both on the battlefield and off it, to the point that in the second season Inko is rarely seen ''without'' Rayet beside her.]]

[[spoiler:When the majority of the battle-capable refugees are drafted, Calm joins the Deucalion's maintenance team as a mechanic. It is in this role that he served the duration of both first and second seasons. Indeed in the latter, he even comes up with the Sleipnir's custom configuration for the final raid against the Vers forces on the Moon.]]

[[spoiler:Yuki serves as the commander of Mustang Squad for the first season, but come the second season she is shown serving under Marito under the latter's Clysdale Squadron. Once she is re-assigned back to the Deucalion as part of the reinforcement of its decimated Kataphrakt teams, she once again takes command of Mustang Squad.]]

[[spoiler:While Marito spends most of the first season sidelined due to his PTSD episodes, in the second season he had returned back to active duty, as the commander of Clysdale Squad. His squad is eventually reassigned to the Deucalion, to reinforce its Kataphrakt squadrons]].

[[spoiler:He rejoins the military in the wake of the first season, and sticks around as the Clysdale Squadron's medical liaison. When the squad is reassigned to the Deucalion, he joins them, and once more becomes the chief medical officer of the warship.]]

* GreenEyedMonster: Absolutely hates Asseylum because of how SpoiledSweet she appears to be. Despite being a Martian, and the cause of the current war which indirectly led to the death of her father, Asseylum seems popular and accepted by the Terrans around her. [[spoiler:This causes Rayet to go briefly mad, and strangles Asseylum in the shower in episode 9. Asseylum's apologies in episode 10 after said attack only further confuses her, leading her to attempt suicide until Inaho stops her.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Makes a cameo in the first episode and briefly appears in the second. He is not seen since.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: [[spoiler:At the end of season 2, both the Terrans ''and'' the Martians placed blame for the assassination and the war between Earth and Mars on him, even though he wasn't entirely responsible for the assassination (he did helped prolonged the war as means to fullfilling Asseylum's dream of peace between Earth and Mars in a twisted way). The only two people that still care about him is Asseylum and Inaho.]]

* BreakTheCutie: In addition to her assassination being the justification for the VERS knights to invade Earth, she is constantly reminded that it's her fault, whether directly with people blaming her for the war, or indirectly when she overhears people talking about how they lost friends and loved ones due to this conflict. [[spoiler:You can almost hear something inside of her snapping after she broadcasts a message that she's alive and orders the Martians to cease hostilities in episode 10/11, only to then wonder why the Earth HQ is under assault shortly after sending out said message.]]

* EnsignNewbie: In the very first episode, he has to lead the operation against the Nicholeras, despite being a mere cadet, because communications with any possible military base are either jammed or cut-off, and most of his instructors are dead with his older sister, who is also his superior officer, being sidelined by war injury. He does eventually get rank to match his abilities, even becoming a highly decorated officer by the end of the series.

* CreepyChild: Inaho was apprently considered this, since he didn't cry during Heaven's Fall, and generally stoicism.

* RememberTheNewGuy: There was no hint Cruhteo had a son until Klancain appaeared. Also, he's fairly close to being a LastEpisodeNewCharacter.

* ShipTease: With Inaho. It's quite clear she is attached to him, and while Inaho doesn't really show it much, he is close to her.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Not only is she actively seeking to end the war as quickly as possible, her bloodline allows her to powers the [[spoiler:[[ForgottenSuperweapon Aldnoah-based flying battleship]] the team found in the secret base at Tanegashima.]]

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: What several of the VERS knights felt about her after she's assassinated. Cruhteo in particular, regrets being unable to have her reconsider going to Earth on a goodwill mission, which may have prevented her death in the first place. Others, such as Trillram and Saazbaum, would prefer that she stay dead so they can continue using her death as an excuse to attack Earth.

* BadassAdorable: Despite her cute appearance, there is no denying the fact that she's a competent fighter herself.
* BadassPrincess: She's perfectly capable of flipping and body pressing someone her size or bigger with little effort. In Episode 3, she volunteers to be the standing gunner in the counteroffensive against Trillram and manages to not only expertly handle a grenade launcher in her first experience with live combat, but also buys the group the time they need by singlehandedly driving Trillram back with sheer force of will and charisma. When she does use a pistol ([[spoiler:pointing it at Slaine]]), her grip demonstrates she knows exactly how to handle it.
* BreakTheCutie: In addition to her assassination being the justification for the VERS knights to invade Earth, she is constantly reminded that it's her fault, whether directly with people blaming her for the war, or indirectly when she overhears people talking about how they lost friends and loved ones due to this conflict. [[spoiler:You can almost hear something inside of her snapping after she broadcasts a message that she's alive and orders the Martians to cease hostilities in episode 10/11, only to then wonder why the Earth HQ is under assault shortly after sending out said message.]]

* LoveHurts: Despite being in love with Inaho she in order to end the war is forced to marry Klaincain while whom she is amiable and friendly to, is not in love with.

* PassedOverPromotion: Due to the CassandraTruth he told in his report, he was ReassignedToAntarctica and stalled in his career at just an O-3 in his mid-thirties,[[note]]the Russian military has a rather succinct name for such a situation — "[[Creator/JulesVerne A Captain of Fifteen]]", meaning that the officer served 15 years as a Captain and is unlike to advance any more (because the standard officer contract was 25 years in the SovietUnion), almost exactly describing Lt. Marito's position.[[/note]] though his PTSD and alcoholism also made its impact.

* AnyoneCanDie: His in-universe attitude: he has no illusions that everyone's going to get out of this alive, and that in war everybody has a target painted on their back. [[spoiler: He gets shot in the eye in the finale. The next episode reveals he survived, and 19 months later, he has some kind of ElectronicEye as part of the reconstructive surgery done to replace his eye.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Shiina Natsukawa (Japanese), Creator/KiraBuckland (English)

* {{Invisibility}}: Taken UpToEleven: Her ''Scandia is almost perfectly invisible optically and is ''completely'' invisible to sensors. However, it is vulnerable to smoke, which will cause VisibleInvisibility.

* ARealManIsAKiller: Mocks Slaine for his hesitation to open fire on the F-22 squadron engaging them and promises to show him "the joys of the battlefield."

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With [[BrotherSisterTeam her own brother]], ironically. She allows a pretty wide degree of freedom for his actions, considering he is a conscripted soldier in the United Forces of Earth, but even Yuki has her limits, and she will yell at him if she feels his battle plans are getting too crazy.
