* ByronicHero: She pretty well turns this trope UpToEleven. Very attractive physically? Check. Very intelligent, perceptive, sophisticated, educated, cunning and adaptable, but also self-centered? Check. Emotionally sensitive, which may translate into being emotionally conflicted, bipolar, or moody? Check. Intensely self-critical and introspective and may be described as dark and brooding? Check. Cynical, world-weary, and jaded, often due to a mysterious Dark and Troubled Past? Check. Extremely passionate, with strong personal beliefs which are usually in conflict with the values of the status quo? Check. She lives and breathes this trope.

She claims to be planning to lead the Ensigerum to their long-deserved greatness, but in the end her best plan for doing so turns out to be teaming up with an insane pseudo-deity, in spite of her OnlySaneMan second-in-command repeatedly telling her that that can't possibly end well. And to top it off, it turns out that the Ensigerum's seemingly unopposable time magic is still vulnerable to a number of countermeasures when used against someone who knows about its existence - it's almost like the early Ensigerum leader's had some sort of ''reason'' for deciding that the order should keep a low profile and not try to throw its weight around too much, ''hmmmmmmm,'' Anita?
