* ShesGotLegs: More obvious in her full-body portrait and promo art.



* MsFanservice: Second only to SQ. She's flirty, outgoing, and wears very little, always showing off her busty {{Underboobs}} and [[ShesGotLegs nice legs]]. She even has a ShowerScene where she will outright offer the player to [[ShowerOfLove join her]].

* BodyBackupDrive: There's a second Kukrushka doll hidden in Jonas's cargo that she can transfer her consciousness into. Just when Setsu begins to believe that they've finally stopped looping and they start making plans for the future, Kukrushka eliminates her during the very next warp despite being put into cold sleep.

* DeadAllAlong: In every timeline where Gnosia exist onboard the ship, the protagonist is always the first victim which alerts everybody to the presence of the Gnosia. But nobody ever notices the contradiction of them still being alive except for Yuriko, who "corrects" Raqio's perception in one loop to make them notice it, too. Ultimately it's revealed to be a {{Subversion}} when Setsu deduces that the protagonist is entering each loop and replacing the self that was eliminated by the Gnosia, which is why they can't enter a loop with zero Gnosia onboard the ship without invoking NeverTheSelvesShallMeet.

* EscortMission: There are multiple events that require both you and Setsu to survive, which isn't so easy because of Setsu's low Stealth. The worst of these is the event where you and Setsu conspire to take out Jonas in order to [[spoiler:search his personal belongings after Gnosia Kukrushka had escaped cold sleep in a previous loop]], but this mission also requires you and Setsu to get rid of the Gnosia together after dealing with Jonas, or else LeVi will deny access due to the crisis situation.

* CuttingTheKnot: Kukruska will propose that everybody goes into cold sleep except for those on Guard Duty, bypassing the Gnosia threat entirely without putting anyone at risk of dying.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Being a Gnosia means that one will find killing alright and necessary, even with the rest of one’s morality intact. Best illustrated with the case of [[spoiler:Gnosia Gina]], who feels intense guilt over lying about murdering but not the murdering itself.

* AmbiguouslyBi:
** In the Japanese version, his Small Talk line about love doesn't seem to imply his past love to be of any gender in particular.
** Somewhat blunter in the English version: during the event when the player learns the "Let's Collaborate" skill from him, he mentions that he hooked up with his collaborator for the loop. The collaboration isn't gender-locked either.

* KindheartedSimpleton: Not the sharpest tool in the shed, especially considering the [[AllThereInTheManual internal personality values]], but one of the kinder characters in the cast. Might be something of a [[HalfWittedHillbilly country bumpkin]], given his accent and mention of growing up in a rather boring place.



* AbsurdlyYouthfulParent: His estimated physical age is nineteen, compared to his potential child SQ, who was grown in a incubation pod, being estimated at twenty-six.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Downplayed. She is attracted to the male protagonist to the point of tackling him to confess her love (after he comes forward as the Engineer in Loop 4) or trapping him in the ship's lab with the intention of "experiencing human pleasure". This side of hers isn't really apparent when playing as the other gender options (due to her not showing any attraction to the other crew members) besides an off-hand mention of how she enjoys doing something "naughty" with them when winning as Gnosia together. However, in this context, she is referring to killing off the remaining crew via oxygen starvation.
* SlippingAMickey: When losing to Gnosia Stella, she gives the protagonist a cup of tea, which is implied to have been spiked. What she's trying to slip the player is somewhat ambiguous, but given her behavior as Gnosia, it's likely either poison or an aphrodisiac.

* AllThereInTheScript: They are fonder of non-binary players, the same way Sha-Ming is friendlier towards female players and Stella is towards male ones. Unlike those two, however, Raqio lacks any gender-locked events, nor does their dialogue change in any way depending on the player's gender. You'll likely never figure this out unless you check the game files or look up an analysis thereof.



* RedEyesTakeWarning: As a Gnosia, Raqio's eyes turn red and deviate outward. While not as apparent, [[HellishPupils their pupils also take on an odd, slightly angular shape]].
