* PoliceAreUseless: Played straight at first, but gets subverted as time goes on. The first time we see them in a major story role is when they go up against an infamous anarchist during an event, then a spec ops team in Volume 4. In both times, we see they're just plain, ordinary police, not SWAT's equivalent or anything grand meant to take on such threats... although they have faults that really should have been covered up long ago, like ''leaving the password to a locked door on a sticky note anyone can read''. It's only in side and relationship stories that they do just fine as ordinary policegirls ([[FaceOfAThug sans]] [[TheKlutz a]] [[TheSlacker couple]] [[DestructiveSavior incidents]]). [[spoiler:This eventually becomes a justified trope as it is later revealed that [[BigBad Kaya]] was working to sabotage them, from slashing their budget to strip them of even the most basic equipment and training in order to leave them helpless while also using FOX Squad to commit crimes behind the scenes. Her actions also led to Valkyrie's reputation constantly being dragged down in the eyes of the public while trying to promote Kaiser Security, all for the transfer of power to [[EvilMegaCorp Kaiser]].]] Later on, [[spoiler:they undergo some very heavy RedemptionPromotion arc, when they finally decide to stop working for Kaya and fight back against her and Kaiser's tyrannical reign, their competency skyrockets, and results in them helping to save the day on more than one occasion.]]

** Their initial attempts to arrest the [[BadAssCrew RABBIT Squad]] at the start of Volume 4 don't go well at all, with Valkyrie having lost so many of their assault team to failed assaults that, by the time Sensei shows up to take charge and turns the situation around, all Kanna can spare them are [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy Kirino]], [[LazyBum Fubuki]] and a handful of grunts. [[spoiler:This is deconstructed later on; Kanna is well aware of how painfully underequipped Valkyrie is to handle larger-scale threats to public safety, like renegade SRT graduates or members of the Seven Prisoners like [[StalkerWithACrush Wakamo]], and her mounting frustration at the tech and training gap drives her to make a [[DealWithTheDevil deal]] with Kaiser Corporation, essentially putting Valkyrie in their pocket in exchange for their weapons giving the academy even ''one'' advantage back over their enemies.]]

** In Volume 4 part 2, [[spoiler:they arrive just in the nick of time once again to help SRT stop Kaiser and the FOX Platoon when they try to detonate a small nuke in the middle of a town. Their competency this time round is through the roof. Despite having nothing but obsolete equipment, they were able to run circles around Kaiser's elite forces through a combination of exploiting the environment and their own individual skills. Even Miyako, has nothing but praise at far they have come compared to before.]]

** However, Sensei soon realizes that it doubles as a case of CursedWithAwesome as it turns out, since every one of her shots is doomed to have the opposite result, all Kirino needs to do is aim for the opposite target and every one of her shots will hit. In her third Relationship Story, [[spoiler:Sensei makes her pass her marksmanship exam by telling her to intentionally aim at the hostages instead. Naturally she is very upset about this, but does so anyway and passes with flying colors. To put things into perspective, when she aims at the hostage, she lands three shots to the face, and three shots to the heart--all of which would be fatal if they were aimed at a non-Mystic. And all six shots were lined up nearly in their respective same spots.]]

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In the Final Volume, [[spoiler:she and Fubuki perform a BigDamnHeroes moment, saving Sensei and a badly injured Kanna from Kaiser's forces before taking cover in a shooting range. Kanna tries to tell them to stop since they're committing insubordination and they don't have to take the fall with her, but Kirino refuses to do so because she wants to uphold her ideals of justice.]]
** In Volume 4 part 2, [[spoiler: she stands up to the Kaiser forces when they start to harass an elderly citizen, and was ready to fight against them, consequences be damned. Fortunately Kanna arrives in time to diffuse the situation.]]
* ShipTease: Not necessarily with her (assuming she's just stating a fact rather than [[HintDropping trying to suggest something]]), but one of her café quotes has her say that [[StudentTeacherRomance there is no law prohibiting relationships between teachers and students.]] [[HaremGenre Make of it what you will of Sensei's ship-heavy future.]]

** In Volume 4 part 2, [[spoiler: She along with the rest of Valkyrie fight against Kaiser's elite forces to help Sensei and Miyako. This time round, she uses a combination of smoke screens and the environment to get into melee range before decimating her targets. Even Miyako is amazed by her skills in close quarters, admitting that she might be even better than SRT in that regard.]]

* BrilliantButLazy: Fubuki is often trying to find ways to avoid work, and even when there's a crime going on, she tends to try and do nothing if possible. The few times that she ends up having to work, she does so under the impression that she can get more days off if she completes the mission. When she ends up having to work though, she proves to be quite competent, [[spoiler:as shown in [=V4C1=] Ep. 4 when she manages to take advantage of the confusion in the middle of a fight to trick Miyu into giving her valuable information before capturing her.]] However, it's also in the same chapter some episodes later that [[spoiler:she chooses to play dead when SRT raids their headquarters so as to avoid having to do anything.]]

* LazyBum: She really does not like working and is happy on days when she can just slack off. The few times she gets to work is after Kirino convinces her that if she does good on missions, she can get extra days off. This is even reflected in gameplay when using her EX Skill; while it provides a huge buff to her attack, it makes her stop acting for several seconds as she stops what she is doing to lie on the ground, eat a donut before rolling around on her back and letting out a sigh of happiness and then finally getting back into the fight.

* TemptingFate: One of her lines on the menu screen for ''Schale's Happy Valentine Patrol'' has her talk about Wakamo. Guess what the criminal rides in her boss fight?

* PoliceAreUseless: Played straight at first, but gets subverted as time goes on.

** [[spoiler:In Volume 4, she manages to scale a tall building by herself even without any equipment and successfully manages to catch the Rabbit Platoon by surprise and even hold them at gunpoint; it was mainly because they appealed to her sense of justice that she allowed them to leave. Later in Volume F, Rabbit Squad makes it clear that while they don't necessarily agree with her methods or ideals, they still at least hold respect for her capabilities.]]

* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: In her relationship stories, [[spoiler:we learn that it's more like sacrificed social life. Kanna understands someone in her position can't be seen slacking off and enjoying a normal life lest criminals get some ideas, so with her, it's always business and fighting all the way. Even though a part of her wants to be able enjoy life normally like other girls, she knows that she can't be seen doing so, and often can only watch from a distance as her subordinates go off and live the way they want.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Kirino may have an incredibly strong desire to do good, but her impulsive way of just acting without thinking ends up getting her into hot water. During the ''Neverland'' event, [[spoiler:Shun takes advantage of this habit combined with her good nature to send her on wild goose chases just so that she can have some time alone with Sensei.]] However, even that pales in comparison to the Valkyrie Side story where [[spoiler:she attempts to foil a robbery at a donut shop with Fubuki. Since they couldn't get close enough, they decided to use a dust explosion to deal with the robber. [[DestructiveSaviour The end result was that while the robbery was stopped, the shop and the street was destroyed, causing many times more damage than the robbery would have done.]] Needless to say, both she and Fubuki were punished for this.]]

* FriendToAllChildren: Despite being a klutz who often messes up, Kirino's pure desire to be a good cop and role model makes her very popular with the children. [[spoiler:In her fourth relationship story, she is tasked with guiding a bunch of children around. When she tries to show off, she ends up handcuffing herself and dropping the keys down a drain, leaving her trapped for half a day. When she gets free, she's very upset, worried about how she embarrassed not only herself, but that she might have damaged the image of the Valkyrie Police force in the children's eyes. She gets proven wrong when the children come looking for her to say their thanks, knowing that she was only in that mess because she went along with their demands. They consider her as someone understanding and patient as opposed to many other adults who don't even pay any attention to them.]]
* GenkiGirl: Despite being somewhat of a ButtMonkey, Kirino is always quick to bounce back from her failures. Easily the most active member with a strong desire to do good. She's incredibly active in helping people, and the first person to always step up whenever something goes wrong. Unfortunately she's also TheKlutz and an impulsive habit of charging into the flay LeeRoyJenkins style, which leads her to either falling for incredibly simple traps or end up making things worse. [[spoiler:This gets subverted later on during the Final Volume; while she still is the same girl with the desire to help people, she's no longer prone to making mistakes like she used too.]]

** It's revealed that she's capable of hitting targets when she's either not aiming for them directly, or just attempting to fire a warning shot of sorts under the belief that it won't hit the target. [[spoiler:In Volume 4, she manages to take down Miyako despite holding an obsolete weapon and having no proper stance. Miyako scoffs at her beforehand, thinking that she won't hit her, only for all six shots to land. The last thing Miyako wonders as she passes out is how could such a thing happen? Especially when she saw how Kirino's gun was aimed at ''an entirely different location''.]]

* BoringButPractical: Compared to her EX skill, Her Basic Skill, while simple and non-flashy, sees a lot more usage: she fires 3 powerful bullets that deal serious damage and last of them stuns the enemy every time her ammo count drops to a specific amount. But combined with others that can boost attack speed like Chinatsu (Hot Spring), she can repeatedly cast her stun every few seconds, quickly filling up the CC gauge of Hod and its erosion towers.
* BrilliantButLazy: Fubuki is often trying to find ways to avoid work, and even when there's a crime going on, she tends to try and do nothing if possible. The few times that she ends up having to work, she does so under the impression that she can get more days off if she completes the mission. However, when she ends up having to work, she proves to be quite competent, [[spoiler:as shown in [=V4C1=] Ep. 4 when she manages to take advantage of the confusion in the middle of a fight to trick Miyu into giving her valuable information before capturing her.]]
** However, it's also in the same chapter later that [[spoiler:she chooses to play dead when SRT raids their headquarters so as to avoid having to do anything.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: While Fubuki is not the nicest person around and is very much a LazyBum, there's no denying that what she says makes sense most of the time like when she tries to stop Kirino from running into a crime they are woefully unprepared for, or opening a locked door. In her fourth Relationship Story where she refuses to help some civilians with their everyday wants such as finding a missing hairpin, she reminds Sensei that Public Safety is understaffed as it is and thus cannot tend to many requests. Sensei acknowledges that what she says makes complete sense, but isn't too happy about it. That said...

* LazyBum: She really does not like working and is happy on days when she can just slack off. The few times she gets to work is after Kirino convinces her that if she does good on missions, she can get extra days off.
** This is even reflected in gameplay when using her EX Skill. While it provides a huge buff to her attack, it makes her stop acting for several seconds as she stops what she is doing to lie on the ground and eat a donut before rolling around on her back and letting out a sigh of happiness and then finally getting back into the fight.

[[spoiler:It is later revealed that [[BigBad Kaya]] was working to sabotage them, slashing their budget to leave them helpless while also using FOX Squad to commit crimes behind the scenes, all for the transfer of power to [[EvilMegaCorp Kaiser]].]]

* FaceOfAThug: One of her biggest woes is that she is aware that people are afraid of her both because of her reputation and her scary exterior. It's become somewhat of a painful topic for her.
** It is revealed in her fourth Relationship Story that she [[spoiler:originally wanted to join the Community Safety Bureau at first, but because of her scary face, they rejected her. In the story, she tries to help a lost child, but the child is too afraid of her, leaving her with no choice but to call Sensei for help. After reuniting the child with her parent, the two have a moment together where a humiliated Kanna laments that perhaps not joining the Community Safety Bureau was for the best, claiming that the public may not be able to rest well knowing a thug like her was around.]]

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: In Volume F, her defying of the protocol to go up against Kaiser and free Sensei from captivity starts a domino effect that culminates with Sensei saving Kivotos from the Color; but in [=V4C2=], when things go back to normal, because Kanna saving Sensei involved her breaking the rules, she ends up getting demoted for her troubles. She gets reinstated at the end of the chapter, though.]]
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Regardless of what the public may think of Valkyrie as a whole, one thing they agree on is both respecting and fearing Kanna's capabilities. She didn't earn the title of Feral Hound for nothing.
** [[spoiler:In the fourth volume, she manages to scale a tall building by herself even without any equipment and successfully manages to catch the Rabbit Platoon by surprise and even hold them at gunpoint. It was mainly because they appealed to her sense of justice that she allowed them to leave. In Volume Final, Rabbit Platoon makes it clear that while they don't necessarily agree with her methods or ideals, they still at least hold respect for her capabilities.]]

* SacrificedBasicSkillforAwesomeTraining: In her character story, [[spoiler: We learn that it's more like sacrifice social life. Kanna understands someone in her position can't be seen slacking off and enjoying a normal life otherwise criminals might get some ideas. So with her, it's always business and fighting all the way. Even though a part of her wants to be able enjoy life normally like other girls, she knows that she can't be seen doing so. And often can only watch from a distance as her subordinates go off and live the way they want.]]
* ShutUpKirk: [[spoiler: Responds to Miyako's condemnation by pointing out it's easy for the [[BadassCrew RABBIT Squad]] themselves to preach about the importance of and stick true to SRT's morals and goals with all of their [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous superior training and equipment]], but it's FAR harder for Valkyrie to do the same while staying squeaky clean, since they're woefully underfunded and undertrained compared to the SRT crew.]]
* UniversallyBelovedLeader: Despite being seen as TheDreaded to the public as a whole, Kanna is greatly respected and trusted by the students of Valkyrie as a whole. They follow her without question, and if will not hesitate to go to great lengths to help her if need be.
** In Volume F, [[spoiler: A group of them notice that Kanna went of by herself to save Sensei. After she was taken out commission due to the injuries sustained in the process of saving Sensei. From there, they knew that Kanna was fighting Kaiser and so they decided to take up arms and support SRT in their mission to defeat them and save the captured members of the GSC. Even after they were warned by SRT that they might be consequences for such an act, they still proceed to go through with it with no hesitation. Outright saying that they only care about helping Kanna, and everything else is secondary.]]

!! Public Safety Bureau

* PoliceAreUseless: The first time we see them in a major story role is when they go up against an infamous anarchist during an event, then a spec ops team in Volume 4. In both times, we see they're just plain, ordinary police, not SWAT's equivalent or anything grand meant to take on such threats. It's only in side and relationship stories that they do just fine as ordinary policegirls ([[FaceOfAThug sans]] [[TheKlutz a]] [[TheSlacker couple]] [[DestructiveSavior incidents]]). [[spoiler:It is later revealed that [[BigBad Kaya]] was working to sabotage them, slashing their budget to leave them helpless while also using FOX Squad to commit crimes behind the scenes, all to make the transfer of power to [[EvilMegaCorp Kaiser]] more easily.]]

[[spoiler:This gets subverted during the events of Volume F and Volume 4 part 2 however, showing that they are quite capable when they arrive to help save the day on more than one occassion.]]

** It is later revealed that, [[spoiler:[[BigBad Kaya]] was working to sabotage them. Slashing their budget in order to leave them helpless, while also using the FOX Platoon to commit crimes behind the scenes. In order to weaken them and make the transition of power to [[EvilMegaCorp Kaiser]] more easily.]]

* PoliceAreUseless:
** During ''Schale's Happy Valentine Patrol'', none of Valkyrie's best resources and plans stopped Wakamo's repeated prison breaks. They get made fun of by other schools when they get involved. Upon deciding to help them, they often criticize them for their lax methods and underwhelming security. Though to be fair to them, the other schools also fail to stop her even when they join forces and have to issue a letter of apology by the end of it.
** Their initial attempts to arrest the RABBIT Squad at the start of Volume 4 don't go well at all, with Valkyrie having lost so many of their assault team to failed assaults that, by the time Sensei shows up to take charge and turns the situation around, all Kanna can spare them are [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy Kirino]], [[LazyBum Fubuki]] and a handful of grunts. [[spoiler:This is deconstructed later on; Kanna is well aware of how painfully underequipped Valkyrie is to handle larger-scale threats to public safety, like renegade SRT graduates or members of the Seven Criminals like [[StalkerWithACrush Wakamo]], and her mounting frustration at the tech and training gap drives her to make a [[DealWithTheDevil deal]] with Kaiser Corporation, essentially putting Valkyrie in their pocket in exchange for their weapons giving the academy even ''one'' advantage back over their enemies.]]

** However, as the story progresses, this trope is eventually subverted. Following side stories and character stories show that when they aren't fighting against the likes of [[TheDreaded Wakamo]] or the likes of [[BadAssCrew SRT]], they are actually able to do their jobs quite well. Showing that it's less that they are incompetent, and more that their opponents are absolute monsters that normal people can't compete with. During the events of Volume F and the second part of Volume 4, it is shown that this is no longer the case. And that they are actually able to do their jobs decently. In the second of half of Volume 4, [[spoiler: they come through for the Rabbit Platoon once again when they need help in dealing with Kaiser.]]

* FriendToAllChildren: Despite being a klutz who often messes up, Kirino's pure desire to be a good cop and role model makes her very popular with the children. [[spoiler:In her fourth bond story, she is tasked with guiding a bunch of children around. When she tries to show off, she ends up handcuffing herself and dropping the keys down a drain, leaving her trapped for half a day. When she gets free, she's very upset, worried about how she embarrassed not only herself, but that she might have damaged the image of the Valkyrie Police force in the children's eyes.

Unfortunately she's also TheKlutz and an impulsive habit of charging into the flay LeeRoyJenkins style, which leads her to either falling for incredibly simple traps or end up making things worse.
** [[spoiler: This gets subverted later on during the Final Volume. While she still is same girl with a desire to help people, she's no longer prone to making mistakes like she used too.]]

* ShootTheHostage: As noted in ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy above, she doesn't do this intentionally, but Kirino's horrible marksmanship means that in almost any hostage situation, she's practically guaranteed to hit the hostage instead of the criminal.
** On the other hand, this also means that any shot aimed at the hostage is guaranteed to hit the criminal instead. Naturally, she really is not happy about this.
* TookALevelInBadass: When first introduced, Kirino suffers from a terrible case of ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy, unable to hit anything. Even when it's standing in front of her. By the time of later volumes such as F and the second half of Volume 4, Kirino is now a very reliable marksman capable of scoring near perfect shots most of the time.

** However, as the story progresses, this trope starts to get subverted. Following side stories and character stories show that when they aren't fighting against the likes of [[TheDreaded Wakamo]] or the likes of [[BadAssCrew SRT]], they are actually able to do their jobs quite well. Showing that it's less that they are incompetent, and more that their opponents are absolute monsters that normal people can't compete with. In the second of half of Volume 4, [[spoiler: they come through for the Rabbit Platoon once again when they need help in dealing with Kaiser.]]

* BeingEvilSucks: [[spoiler:Clearly feels this way about having to work for Kaiser and forcing vagrants out of Bunny Town in exchange for new weaponry from the company. When both Miyako and the Sensei appeal to her sense of justice during RABBIT Squad's raid on Valkyrie, she lets them go without a fight despite having them cornered and the damage that will be dealt to Valkyrie's reputation once evidence of their deal with Kaiser comes out to the public.]]

* BadassInCharge: Regardless of what the public may think of Valkyrie as a whole, one thing they agree on is both respecting and fearing Kanna's capabilities. She didn't earn the title of Feral Hound for nothing.
** [[spoiler:In the fourth volume, she manages to scale a tall building by herself even without any equipment and successfully manages to catch the Rabbit Platoon by surprise and even hold them at gunpoint. It was mainly because they appealed to her sense of justice that she allowed them to leave. In Volume Final, Rabbit Platoon makes it clear that while they don't necessarily agree with her methods or ideals, they still at least hold respect for her capabilities.]]

** During ''Schale's Happy Valentine Patrol'', none of Valkyrie's best resources and plans stopped Wakamo's repeated prison breaks. They get made fun of by other schools when they get involved for this.

* AntiRegeneration: One of the sources in the game with the ability to reduce the amount of healing an enemy receives through her passive. This gives her a niche in stages like the [[WhyWontYouDie Trinity scrimmage stages]], where their main frontline fighter not only has a lot of health, but also has a ridiculous amount of healing applied to her at all times.

* GenkiGirl: Easily the most active member with a strong desire to do good. She's incredibly active in helping people, and the first person to always step up whenever something goes wrong. Unfortunately she's also a klutz and very impulsive, which leads her to either falling for incredibly simple traps or end up making things worse.

** [[spoiler:In the Final Volume, she and Kirino save Sensei and Kanna from Kaiser's forces. Though she does somewhat complain, at the end of the day, she still chose to come and help out and only asked for a small of donuts as thanks. Kanna easily promises on it.]]

* BeingEvilSucks: [[spoiler: Clearly feels this way about having to work for Kaiser and force vagrants out of Bunny Town in exchange for new weaponry from the company. When both Miyako and the Sensei appeal to her sense of justice during the RABBIT raid on Valkyrie, she lets them go without a fight despite having them cornered and the damage that will be dealt to Valkyrie's reputation once evidence of their deal with Kaiser comes out to the public.]]

* DirtyCop: [[spoiler:Late in Chapter 1 of Volume 4, Kanna attempts to force the RABBIT Platoon out of Bunny Town at the behest of the [[EvilInc Kaiser]] [[PrivateMilitaryContractors Corporation]], acting under their orders as payment for accepting a rebate for the weapons Valkyrie purchased from Kaiser. As Miyako points out, a public service police academy working for a private sector company is illegal.]]

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: [[spoiler: It's clear that being forced into working for Kaiser hasn't done any good for her self-esteem. In the final volume, she often speaks badly about herself, calling herself a jaded corrupt cop and even a low life. Laughing bitterly at herself for thinking she could be a hero fighting for justice. Despite this, she still manages to singlehandedly save Sensei from imprisonment after Kaiser captures him, though she does gets badly wounded in the process. As they were trapped in a shooting range, Kanna tells the others to leave her behind. She returns the Shittem Chest and his smartphone to him. She tells Sensei that while there are certainly DirtyCops in Valkyrie, there are also plenty of others who truly want to fight for what is right such as Kirino and Fubuki. And requests him to not give up on them just because of her mistakes. Sensei however thinks otherwise and even somewhat calls her a hero.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Kirino may have an incredibly strong desire to do good, but her impulsive way of just acting without thinking ends up getting her into hot water. During the Neverland event, [[spoiler: Shun takes advantage of this habit combined with her good nature to send her on wild goose chases just so that she can have some time alone with Sensei.]] However, even that pales in comparison to the Valkyrie Side story where [[spoiler:she attempts to foil a robbery at a donut shop with Fubuki. Since they couldn't get close enough, they decided to use a dust explosion to deal with the robber. [[DestructiveSaviour The end result was that while the robbery was stopped, the shop and the street was destroyed, causing many times more damage than the robbery would have done.]] Needless to say, both she and Fubuki were punished for this.]]
* {{Expy}}: A blue eyed, white haired girl with twin braids armed with a handgun that has a strong sense of justice but is widely seen as an IdiotHero by her friends? We could easily be talking about Kirino or [[VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd Kiana Kaslana]].

** However, Sensei soon realizes that it doubles as a case of CursedWithAwesome as it turns out, since everyone of her shots is doomed to have the opposite result, all Kirino needs to do is aim for the opposite target and every one of her shots will hit. [[spoiler: In her third Relationship Story, Sensei makes her pass her marksmanship exam by telling her to intentionally aim at the hostages instead. Naturally she is very upset about this, but does so anyway and passes with flying colors. To put things into perspective, when she aims at the hostage, she lands three shots to the face, and three shots to the heart--all of which would be fatal if they were aimed at a non-Mystic. And all six shots were lined up nearly in their respective same spots.]]
** Furthermore, it's revealed that she's capable of hitting targets when she's either not aiming for them directly, or just attempting to fire a warning shot of sorts under the belief that it won't hit the target. [[spoiler: In Volume 4, she manages to take down Miyako despite holding an obsolete weapon and having no proper stance. Miyako scoffs at her beforehand, thinking that she won't hit her, only for all six shots to land. The last thing Miyako wonders as she passes out is how could such a thing happen? Especially when she saw how Kirino's gun was aimed at ''an entirely different location''.]]
** Kirino is well aware of this trait, and really dislikes abusing such a system. While being CursedWithAwesome can give her unparallel marksmanship, the idea of doing things like purposely aiming at a hostage leaves a very sour taste in her mouth as it goes against her principals and pride.
** In the final volume, [[spoiler: It's finally subverted. She's either embraced her said abilities, or overcame it. It is unknown which of the two it is, but one thing is certain, her marksmanship is no longer a joke and can score perfectly accurate shots on her targets.]]

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In the final volume, [[spoiler: She and Fubuki performs a BigDamnHeroes moment, saving Sensei and a badly injured Kanna from Kaiser's forces before taking cover nearby. Afterwards, Kanna tries to tell them to stop, as this is insubordination, and they don't have to take the fall with her. Kirino refuses to do so, because she wants to uphold her ideals of justice.]]

* BoringButPractical: Her basic skill is nothing flashy; she fires 3 powerful bullets that deal serious damage and last of them stuns the enemy every time her ammo count drops to a specific amount. But combined with others that can boost attack speed like Chinatsu (Hot Spring), she can repeatedly cast her stun every few seconds, quickly filling up the CC gauge of Hod and its erosion towers.
* BrilliantButLazy: Fubuki is often trying to find ways to avoid work, and even when there's a crime going on, she tends to try and do nothing if possible. The few times that she ends up having to work, she does so under the impression that she can get more days off if she completes the mission. However, when she ends up having to work, she proves to be quite competent, [[spoiler:as shown in Episode 4 of Ch. 1, Vol. 4 when she manages to take advantage of the confusion in the middle of a fight to trick Miyu into giving her valuable information before capturing her.]]
** However, it's also in the same chapter later that [[spoiler: she chooses to play dead when SRT raids their headquarters so as to avoid having to do anything.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: Despite her constant complaints and reasonable excuses, she has no qualms about helping out whenever no one is looking. In her fourth Relationship Story, after being scolded by a little girl for refusing to help find her missing hairpin, Fubuki pretends to act like nothing is wrong when Sensei confronts her and gives the excuse that the police can't afford to spend stretched manpower on such a minor case. Fast forward a bit, and she's snuck off to find said hairpin, even spending hours digging through dirt. One she finds it, she returns it to the lost and found section, [[WhatYouAreInTheDark but does it anonymously]], reasoning that if the public knew that she was responsible for this, they'd start demanding more from Valkyrie. Sensei is pleased by this and decides to reward her with a box of donuts.]]
** [[spoiler: In the final volume, she and Kirino save Sensei and Kanna from Kaiser's forces. Though she does somewhat complain, at the end of the day, she still chose to come and help out. Only asking for a small of donuts as thanks. To which Kanna easily agrees too.]]
