* FragileSpeedster: Nero isn't an attack mage, but can use her bird form to fly at great speed and use the element of surprise to perform a variety of important actions in battle like free allies from bindings, heal others, and seal enemies in a powerful prison.

* HealingHands: Nero has Sealing Recovery Magic, using it to close wounds, even reattaching an arm, as well as seal body damage.

* HistoryRepeats: Secre was a loyal servant of the first Wizard King, who dreamed of establishing equality within the socially stratified Clover Kingdom. Five centuries later, she becomes loyal to Asta, a young Magic Knight who aspires to become the Wizard King and shares Lumiere's goal of equality, with Secre wholeheartedly believing that he can achieve his dream.

* LonerTurnedFriend: Very aloof and originally used the Black Bulls for her mission. However, over time she gained a deep admiration and loyalty to Asta because of his unwavering determination and feats, and the Black Bulls refuse to abandon her to the Magic Parliament when she tells them to leave without her, touching Nero with her officially joining the squad.

* TheMedic: Nero's Sealing Magic has little offensive ability that ranks her only a Stage Six in that regard, used in battle to seal enemies and free allies from bindings. However, her magic can be used as Recovery Magic, allowing her to seal physical damage, letting Asta re-enter his Black form and even reattach limbs.

** She had healed a dying Tetia after the massacre at her wedding, with Nero not knowing she had survived and went on to have a child whose descendants would establish the village Elysia near the Heart Kingdom. This plays an important part when Patry and the Third Eye, who settled there after the battle with Zagred, bring the Magic Knights who were in the Heart Kingdom there after Vanica and her Dark Disciples' attack to teach them the elves' esoteric art Ultimate Magic.

* SupportPartyMember: Nero's Sealing Magic is not offensive in nature, making her a Stage Six in combat ability. However, it provides many different supportive spells for allies like sealing enemies and damage to heal her comrades.

* WorthLivingFor: She considered joining Lumiere in the afterlife as his body crumbled away until he told Secre that he wanted her to reach her full potential and remain with the Magic Knights. His words come true when the Black Bulls save her and Asta from the Magic Parliament and wholeheartedly accept her into the squad, with Secre moved by their kindness and officially becoming a Black Bull.

* ShesGotLegs: Nero's short black dress shows off her legs.

* BalefulPolymorph: Using Forbidden Magic turned Secre into an anti-bird for 500 years, unable to use her Sealing Magic and speak. Only after the Shadow Palace appears is she able to speak again, and when Lumiere is unsealed using the magic stones she's able to return to her human form and use her magic.

* CryCute: Usually frowning and stoic, but she shows a [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EP-XbTxU4AAOCun.jpg softer expression]] when crying, which makes her sad moments stand out even moreso.

* TheGadfly: She ''really'' likes to peck at Asta as a bird. And even as a human, Nero tends to pinch at his cheeks and make condescending remarks at him, sometimes with a smile on her face.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: Nero, along with Asta, becomes a pariah for her involvement in the elves' attack on the Clover Kingdom because of her wegs, seen as marks that she's a servant of the devil, from using Forbidden Magic five centuries ago to seal Zagred and Lumiere. She gets out of it by investigating the devils together with the Black Bulls.

* BreakoutCharacter: She became loved by many fans for her cute design as both a bird and a human, quiet yet kind personality, important role in the first saga, and interesting magic. She ranked 6th in the fourth popularity poll and became a major supporting character after TheReveal that she's a human, with her voice actress billed alongside the voice actors of Asta, Yuno, Noelle, and Yami. This is lampshaded with the results of the third popularity poll, with Secre noting that she could have placed higher than 16th had she been back in her true form earlier.
