History Characters / HarryAndTheShipgirlsNorthAmerica

* CanadaEh: Dresses in Flannel, stockings with Canada geese and maple leaf embroidery, and her rigging has hockey gloves and a James Vorhees-style goalie mask. Her official title is [[spoiler: Canadian Battleship Princess]]

* FunWithAcronyms: Quite a bit. For example, you have [[MenInBlack MIB]] with their in-house R & D shop ALADDIN, as well as the primary magical research arm named [[MAgicalNativeAmerican TOTEM]]. The escape plan for magical America uses tokens code named PILGRIM to transport the holder to a secure bunker in Alaska code named MAYFLOWER. The secret US Government plan to integrate MACUSA is called [[TabletopGame/DeltaGreen DELTA GREEN]] although this is deliberate to help conceal the truth by using the tabletop game's existence as a smoke screen in case the name gets leaked accidentally.
* SecretWar: Several that have raged in and around MACUSA historically. Notable examples include the internal political fighting and black operations between [[GovernmentConspiracy TOTEM]] and the Winters Network, other wizards versus the Order of Hermes, the magical sides of the Civil War and then World War Two, and most notably the fight between [[MenInBlack MIB]] and Magical Russia during the Cold War. In addition, the violently anti-magical Scourer terrorists pursued and hunted MACUSA, including doing such things as bombing a children's hospital.

* CloningBlues: Not her, but her battlecruiser and Abyssal incarnations exist at the same time as her.

* CloningBlues: Was summoned years after her carrier self.

* CloningBlues: Rhode Island. Short-lived and subverted in that 1) she's a repaired brain-dead Abyssal, 2) the issue isn't about her identity, but more if she would be fighting her 'kinfolk' or not.

* BoobsOfSteel: Thanks to using the Warship Girls R art for her, has ''massive'' upperworks, which [[DCupDistress cause her no end of trouble dodging wardrobe malfunctions, especially in a fight]]. Much to the delight of her shipgirl division mate and roommate [[EuropeansAreKinky Le Fantasque]] from the French Navy.

* TriangRelations: Has entered the Type Eight variety with Estelle and James. Estelle is the Mistress, James is the Master, and Sirius is the loyal Maid in their relationship.

* BoobsOfSteel: Thanks to using the Warship Girls R art for her, has ''massive'' upperworks, which edge into GagBoobs territory and [[DCupDistress cause her no end of trouble dodging wardrobe malfunctions, especially in a fight]]. Much to the delight of her shipgirl division mate and roommate [[EuropeansAreKinky Le Fantasque]] from the French Navy.

-->Inside the briefing room her eyes widened briefly as she automatically read the rank of the man at the head of the table. Four stars, Marine uniform. General Jones, National Security Advisor to the President. SecState French, CIA Director Jackson, and Attorney General Zigler were present too.

* SherlockScan: Saw a news report on Tropical Storm Elsa and InstantExpert pegged it as an Abyssal storm.

* AffectionateNickname: Calls Yahagi "Cuddly" and Yamato [[InsultOfEndearment "Hotel"]].

* HoldTheLine: James, Estelle, and Sirius were a party of three who had to hold off an Abysal raiding party until reinforcements could arrive. [[spoiler: They actually did so well that by the time said reinforcements arrived, all they had to do was rescue the defenders and clean up the remnants]]. This was helped by Estelle's [[CrazyPrepared safehouse gun safe]] having automatic weapons and grenades on hand plus a ''nasty'' set of lethal anti-intruder wards.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Befitting their size at the end of World War II, there are hundreds of American shipgirls, though only a few are featured here.

* AlwaysGetsHisMan: Has been an Auror for almost a century and a half and is one of the best (and most respected) policemen in MACUSA. He ''will not stop'' in his pursuit of evildoers even 80 years after he was told to drop a case thanks to political pressure. [[note]]Charles Deckard nodded sharply with a smile that had no warmth or mercy. "Yes, me, Simon. I told you when you walked on the charges for those abductions and murders of No-Maj children from the bayous in 1934 thanks to the judge being bought off that I'd see you swing one day. Guess that day's today." He looked over at the members of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team that had just cleared the complex with him. "Just remember, keep him warded, cuffed, and magemasked so he can't escape his court date with twelve men good and true. Learned from Grouse to never give these fuckers a chance to wiggle out once you get the drop on them."[[/note]]

* SecretKeeper: Had a fair few suspicions about Delilah being a member of the Winters Network, involved with first Louise Winona and then Zamarad, and finally something up with her antique heirloom revolver that he never brought up.
