History Characters / CrossAngeAnge

* DetrimentalDetermination: There are definitie times when her determination can work against her. A prime example of this is in "Salia's Gloom" when she goes out to fight a giant DRAGON despite being ''sick'' and once she's there [[IWorkAlone tries to fight it alone as usual]], which would have gotten her killed had she not decided to obey Salia for once. This is especially strange when you consider that her stated goal is survival, meaning you would think she'd try and take better care of herself.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Ange may be an AntiHero, but she draws the line with Jill's orders to the point that she refuses to use [[spoiler:the [=DRAGONs=]]] as potential sacrifices in Jill's plot in "Conclusive Ocean".

** Her stubbornness and trust issues make her unable to see when she's in over her head. A prime example is in "Salia's Gloom" when she tries to fight a new type of DRAGON alone. ''While sick''. Had she not decided to follow Salia's orders for once, she most certainly would have died.
** She also has a bad habit of running her mouth. It gets her slapped on more than one occasion, ''twice'' by Salia alone. This is perhaps best shown when she starts going on about how she considers Libertas to be a joke... only to discover that [[InsultFriendlyFire she just insulted Tusk's parents, who]] ''[[InsultFriendlyFire died]]'' [[InsultFriendlyFire for the very mission she just called "pathetic"]]. To her credit, she at least feels guilty enough about this to apologise later (which, for [[TheUnapologetic her]], is a big deal).

* EasilyCondemed: After Zola, Miranda and Coco are killed in Ange's first DRAGON battle, Ange is held responsible due to the fact that she tried to desert by returning to her home. While it ''is'' true she tried to desert, that's to be expected when you force a former princess into combat before she's had time to adjust to her new reality. And yet nobody seems to blame Jill and Zola for doing exactly that, thereby causing serious friction in the squad that lasts until the end of "Salia's Gloom".

* {{Polyamory}}: In a surprising turn, by the end of the series, Ange has a loving boyfriend in Tusk and an equally loving (if a bit clingy) girlfriend in Hilda, whom she kissed as soon as Hilda thought she had no chance to be with her anymore.

* RunningGag: She cannot for the life of her pronounce Salamandinay's full name, calling the latter Sala-"insert word here" several times.

* SkilledButNaive: Ange is very skilled at almost anything, but almost has no knowledge of how things work. Heck, she didn't know ''how to change clothes''.

* DetrimentalDetermination: {{Downplayed|Trope}} but there are times when her determination can work against her. A prime example of this is in "Salia's Gloom" when she goes out to fight a giant DRAGON despite being ''sick'' and once she's there [[IWorkAlone tries to fight it alone as usual]], which would have gotten her killed had she not decided to obey Salia for once. This is especially strange when you consider that her stated goal is survival, meaning you would think she'd try and take better care of herself.

** She also has a bad habit of running her mouth. It gets her slapped on more than one occasion, ''twice'' by Salia alone. This is perhaps best shown when she starts going on about how she considers Libertas to be a joke... only to discover that [[InsultFriendlyFire she just insulted Tusk's parents, who]] ''[[InsultFriendlyFire died]]'' [[InsultFriendlyFire for the very mission she just called "pathetic"]].

* TooCleverByHalf: {{Downplayed|Trope}} in that she isn't particularly arrogant or full of herself, but she does have a tendency to overestimate how much she can handle alone due to being TheAce.

* [[spoiler: Ange gives one to herself after witnessing the true nature of the "Peaceful and Just" people of Misurugi. She goes as far as calling herself a "dumbass" for all of talk of "friendship and bonds" she did as Angelise. She also thanks Julio for revealing her as a Norma so she wouldn't be like them anymore, and [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters Sylvia for showing her the dark side in the humans and calls the crowd disgusting beasts]] right before she leaves.]]
** She does it again to the same people in the finale of "Distorted World" [[DirtyCoward when they demand she save them]]. As well as [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Sylvia]] when she reveals the latter's injuries were completely healed, but never stood on her own two feet.

* {{Determinator}}: Being ''sick'' will not prevent her from piloting Villkiss and try to rescue her team. Death threats will make her DefiantToTheEnd to the point where [[spoiler:Embryo has finally had enough of her getting in his way]].

** Her stubbornness and trust issues make her unable to see when she's in over her head. A prime example is in "Salia's Gloom" when she tries to fight a new type of DRAGON alone. ''While sick''. Thankfully, Salia convinces Ange to follow her orders for once, and she lives to fight another day.

* JerkassHasAPoint: When Salia calls out Ange on her IWorkAlone approach, Ange rightfully says Hilda, [[ThoseTwoGirls Rosalie and Chris]] have repeatedly tried to sabotage her, something [[BystanderSyndrome Salia is well-aware of but hasn't done a thing to stop]]. To her credit, Salia gets the message, and tells the others at the end to stop sabotaging Ange.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She doesn't hesitate to call out anyone for their cruel actions.
** During the escape from Arzenal, Ange tells Hilda she doesn't trust her after she sabotaged Villkiss, tormented her, and tried to have her killed via UnfriendlyFire as she attempts to ditch her as payback. She changes her mind after Hilda reveals she got on Zola's good side to survive, and wanted to reunite with her mom. [[spoiler:Ange gives one to herself after witnessing the true nature of the "Peaceful and Just" people of Misurugi. She goes as far as calling herself a "dumbass" for all of talk of "friendship and bonds" she did as Angelise. She also thanks Julio for reveling her as a Norma so she wouldn't be like them anymore, and [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters Sylvia for showing her the dark side in the humans and calls the crowd disgusting beasts]] right before she leaves.]]

* YouAreWhatYouHate: Ange makes her dislike of Norma fairly clear early in "The Fallen Imperial Princess"... which means it's fairly hard for her to swallow the fact that she ''is'' one. Grows out of it, and comes to loathe mana users for their prejudice.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: {{Downplayed|Trope}} but she's this to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Cagalli Yula Attha]]. Both are blond-haired, [[{{Tsundere}} violent]] {{Tomboy Princesses}} who are skilled mech pilots and eventually realise that they're on the wrong side of a war. Additionally, the episode in which Ange first meets Tusk is a nigh-carbon copy of the one where Cagalli first meets Athrun. The difference is that Ange is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a lot ruder]] than [[NiceGirl Cagalli]] and far, ''far'' [[BrokenBird more bitter]]. Specifically, she's what Cagalli would have become if she were stripped of her status and put through hell.

* BlamedForBeingRailroaded: Non video game example. Salamandinay calls her out for killing dragons. The thing is, Ange and the rest of the norma were forced into killing dragons by the World of Mana. Embryo even uses the term "railroading" when discussing the matter.

* IWorkAlone: This is her attitude when Salia calls her out in "Salia's Gloom". According to Mei, she thinks that [[spoiler:Ange's trying to not let anyone get killed after her first deployment ended poorly.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: When Salia attempts to call Ange out on her IWorkAlone approach, Ange rightfully retorts that [[AlphaBitch Hilda]], [[ThoseTwoGirls Rosalie and Chris]] have repeatedly tried to sabotage her, something [[BystanderSyndrome Salia is well-aware of but hasn't done a thing to stop]]. To her credit, Salia gets the message, and tells the others at the end to stop sabotaging Ange.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She was left completely in the dark about being a Norma, only for it to come to light at the worst possible moment. Her life goes from lap of luxury to living hell in a heartbeat.

** She also has a bad habit of running her mouth. It gets her slapped on more than one occasion, ''twice'' by Salia alone. This is perhaps best shown when she starts going on about how she considers Libertus to be a joke... only to discover that [[InsultFriendlyFire she just insulted Tusk's parents, who]] ''[[InsultFriendlyFire died]]'' [[InsultFriendlyFire for the very mission she just called "pathetic"]]. To her credit, she at least feels guilty enough about this to apologise later (which, for her, is a big deal).

* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler: When confronting Embryo, Ange lists killing her brother as one of her reasons to oppose him, even though her brother was a genocidal monster whom ''she'' would have killed had he not intervened.]]

* PlotArmor: Since she's the protagonist, she always has this active. In fact, if she didn't have it, she would have been dead so many times. From the failed first sortie, Villkiss's sabotage, the gallows and the crash landing in "The Survivors".

* PostSupportRegret: As a princess, Ange is eager to prove herself to the Misurugi Empire, and wants dedicate herself to upholding its prosperity. Eventually, Ange comes to see realize her people show nothing but disdain and cruelty for her being a norma, [[EasilyCondemned despite her initial status]]. [[spoiler: And their near-lynching certainly doesn't win her over.]] By the time it gets to ''that'' point, Ange is disgusted to realize that her former subjects are "ignorant, ugly, hateful pigs", and wonders why she should bother protecting them if they ultimately reward the Norma with persecution.

* ThePowerOfTrust: After being lied to about being a Norma, being outed on the worst possible day, shipped off to society's PenalColony to be hazed and possibly killed, and ultimately betrayed by her sister and her old friends, Ange takes huge stock in whatever little trust she has left to give. Little wonder the ones she trusts the most are her closest allies, chiefly Momoka and Tusk, and Sala and Hilda, who she needed a little time (or shared circumstance) to warm up to. Jill, who considers her subordinates as {{Unwitting Pawn}}s, not so much.

* PreAssKickingOneLiner: She utters one to Salia as part of her speech when she is about to go on her RoaringRampageOfRevenge on Julio, to the point that she threatens her to get of her way or be killed.

** She says "You don't deserve the air you breathe, ''you insect!''" to Julio in "Arzenal Burns" before Embryo intervenes.

** Her stubbornness and trust issues make her unable to see when she's in over her head. A prime example is in "Salia's Gloom" when she tries to fight a new type of DRAGON alone. ''[[TooDumbToLive While sick]]''. Thankfully, Salia convinces Ange to follow her orders for once, and she lives to fight another day.

* ThePenIsMightier: {{Curb stomp|Battle}}s [[spoiler:Salia, Irma, and Tanya with nothing more than a pen by poking Salia with it, distracting her enough that Ange can grab the gun quickly, shoot Irma's gun, and kick Tanya in the stomach. And lastly, judo throw Salia when the latter charges at her.]]

* PostSupportRegret: Back when she was still a princess, Ange was eager to prove herself to the Misarugi Empire, and wanted to dedicate herself to upholding its prosperity. But as the series progresses, Ange comes to see her people were never worthy of her leadership, as they show nothing but disdain and cruelty for her being a norma, [[EasilyCondemned despite she was once their beloved imperial princess]]. [[spoiler: And nearly being lynched by her them certainly didn't win her over.]] By the time it got to ''that'' point, Ange is disgusted to realize that her former subjects are "ignorant, ugly, hateful pigs", and wonders why she should bother protecting them if they ultimately reward the Norma with persecution.

* TooDumbToLive: {{Averted|Trope}} for the most part, but anyone who tries to take on a giant DRAGON alone while sick is either this or has a death wish and Ange definitely isn't the latter.

* VitriolicBestBuds: With Hilda, as of "Goodbye From the Gallows".

* {[Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler: When confronting Embryo, Ange lists killing her brother as one of her reasons to oppose him, even though her brother was a genocidal monster whom ''she'' would have killed had he not intervened.]]
