History Characters / CrossAngeAnge

* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Gender-inverted example. As she is the brooding to Tusk's gentle.

* OppositesAttract: With Tusk.

* UnprovokedPervertPayback: Her reactions to Tusk with his face in her junk could almost give [[Manga/LoveHina Naru Narusegawa]] a run for her money. But then, given [[RapeAsDrama what she had just been through]] since coming to Arzenal, can you blame the poor girl for being a little skittish?

* CaptainCrash: She might be one of the best pilots of the show, but she's crashed Vilkiss a lot of times.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: She attracts blushing worship from her teammates in "The Fallen Imperial Princess", then Coco in the third...and Zola's less-than-welcome attentions. [[spoiler:Also, Hilda falls for her later on.]] Suffice to say that everyone wants her.

* ImportantHaircut: At the end of "Villkiss Awakens" where she accepts her fate as a Norma and shows her loss of innocence. It gradually starts to grow back as she regains some of her idealism.

* 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 barbaric and heartless "pigs", and wonders why she and the norma should protect them at all if they're ultimately rewarded with persecution.

But as the series progresses, Ange comes to see her people were never worthy of her leadership, as they show nothing but disdain for her being a norma, [[EasilyCondemned despite she was once their beloved imperial princess]]. [[spoiler: And nearly being lynched by her former subjects certainly didn't win her over.]] By the end of the series, when our heroes wondering how her former home will fare [[spoiler: without mana]], Ange merely reacts with scornful [[StoppedCaring indifference]] whether they'll survive or die.

* TheAce: Ange was supposed to inherit TheEmpire instead of her older brother, is shown to be "above average in all areas" in training, and is also noted to be one of the [[AcePilot best pilots of Arzenal]], as her performance at Arzenal shows. She's also noted to be able to pilot Villkiss skillfully, and, for awhile, also solos [=DRAGON=] squadrons while dodging UnfriendlyFire from teammates who want to kill her for inadvertently killing two recruits and Zola. It also means that she hoards all of the kills, causing others to go into PerpetualPoverty as their income is based on the number and type of [=DRAGONs=] the person kills. As revealed in "Resonating Front Lines", she is also skilled in different types of sports and capable of driving a ''professional race car''.

* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Their second night after arriving in [[spoiler:the [=DRAGON=] Earth]], she, Tusk, and Vivian seek shelter from a snowstorm in an abandoned hotel. Ange and Tusk wind up sharing a room together and to her surprise and frustration, Tusk doesn't try to make a move on her.

%%* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: An inverted example. As she is the brooding to Tusk's gentle.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In her first scene, Ange rallies her racing team together during a close match and rescues a teammate from an accidental fall even though it costs her the game.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When Sala asks her where did Ange think {{Mana}} came from, Ange starts explaining till she has a sudden revelation that Mana [[spoiler:came from the mother [=DRAGON=] Aura]].

-->'''Ange:''' Hey Tusk, thank you for everything. You always have the right answer. Plus, you're so levelheaded and gentle too. I trust you.
---->''later''
-->'''Ange:''' We're so different. I'm too quick to get upset, I can be stubborn, I freak out a lot.

* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: She gazes in awe over the skyline as she remarks how amazing she finds the World of Mana the night before her baptism. She very quickly changes her tune.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:After all the crap she goes through, in the end she gets to live happily with Tusk and the rest of her surviving comrades, and decides to establish a new country in the original Arzenal island with the [=DRAGONs=] help.

%%* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In her first scene, Ange rallies her sports team together during a close match and rescues a teammate from an accidental fall even though it costs her the game.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: All the scars she got from Sylvia whipping her? They're gone by the next episode. Of course the next episode takes place about a week later so it's possible the wounds were superficial at best.

* BystanderSyndrome: Completely justified in her case. When she is approached by the now mana-less band of citizens in "Distorted World" demanding for help, being a princess, she refuses to oblige, fully remembering how they treated her following her outing as a norma. Their audacious response? They accuse her of the mana disappearing, and one prepares to kill her, only for her to score a BoomHeadshot on him first, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere scaring the rest away]]. Finally, she [[spoiler:scares Sylvia into walking on her own feet before leaving]].

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:That passionate kiss with Tusk? Turns out to be very important for Ange to break free against Embryo's brainwashing.]]

** Jill not only giving her a harsh rectal examination, but also lying to her on multiple counts, continuously trying to use her, beating her at least a couple times, and threatening to throw her maid and best friend out of the airlock if she doesn't follow her latest unsound plan? Ange finally gives her a much deserved KO during the finale of "Conclusive Ocean".

%%* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Rallies her sports team together during a a close match, saves one from an accidental fall though it costs her the game

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Saves Akiho from a midair fall during the game of Iaria at the cost of victory. Guess who snitches on her in "Traitorous Homeland"?

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: In "Lonely Mutiny", Emma asks Ange how she can walk around the base nearly-naked (due to ClothingDamage). She responds that she doesn't get embarrassed if a bug sees her naked. It's a sign that she's StoppedCaring, and doesn't intend to treat either Mana-users ''or'' Normas as human beings.

* SheKnowsTooMuch: Earns the deathly wrath of Salia for walking in on her while cosplaying as a magical girl. That Ange herself is indifferent makes no difference, as Salia attempts to kill her for finding out her secret. Good thing Ange can defend herself. (She does get sick from the resulting hot spring skirmish.)

* SpitefulSpit: Ange spits in Jill's face while being threatened by the latter in "Conclusive Ocean".

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: She was the Princesss of Misurugi and considered royalty to her people. Now, she's a norma sent to Arzenal to fight the [=DRAGONs=], at least until the second half of the series.

* {{Keigo}}: Initially, she spoke formally, she drops it when she decided to abandon her original name.

* PostSupportRegret: Back when she was still a princess, Ange was eager to prove herself to the Misarugi Empire, and dedicate herself to its prosperity. But as the series progresses, Ange came to see her people weren't worth a leader like her, as they show nothing but disdain for her being a norma, [[EasilyCondemned despite she was once their beloved imperial princess]]. [[spoiler: And nearly being lynched by her former subjects certainly didn't win her over.]] By the end of the series, when our heroes wondering how her former home will fare [[spoiler: without mana]], Ange merely reacts with scornful [[StoppedCaring indifference]] whether they'll survive or die.

* BattleCouple: At the end of ''Cross Ange'' [[spoiler:she and Tusk dealing the killing blows to the Hysterica and [[BigBad Embryo]]'s main body, respectively.]]

* FallenPrincess: She's the former princess of the [[EvilEmpire Misurugi Empire]] at the start of the anime, to which "The Fallen Imperial Princess" mentions this trope. In fact, she provides the page image for this particular trope.

* GoldenSuperMode: While it has been shown in the opening, [[spoiler:''Dragon Song'' marks the first time Ange uses it and the trigger is singing her mother's song]].

* FantasticRacism: She starts out discriminating against Norma like everyone else.

** [[ForcefulKiss Her first kiss was forced onto her by Zola]], when [[AttemptedRape the latter attempted to rape Ange]]. Suffice to say, Ange was not happy about it.

* HatedHometown: By the second half of the series, Ange utterly ''despises'' the Misurugi Empire. It's not hard to see why, given their prejudice towards the Norma and how they try to kill her upon her return.

* MementoMacGuffin: The ring given to her by her mother synchronizes with Villkiss.
