History Characters / HayateCrossBlade

* CatSmile

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She initially gave off the impression of being this. In her first real chapter with extensive dialogue, she was nice and more or less out-going to Hayate and her friends, right up until she told Hayate that because the latter was only meant to be a stand-in, that Nagi would be taking her rank, all of her stars, and her partner. {{Subverted}} though when she reveals she was just trying to gage how serious Hayate was.

* {{Bokukko}}: Or rather ''ore''kko.

A budding comedian and victim of DomesticAbuse. Recent appearances have associated her with little else aside those two traits, which is either hilarious or sad, depending on who you ask. This is accentuated with the contrast between that and the way she was introduced, which made her seem more of an OneeSama with elements of DistressedDamsel.

* ExpositoryHairStyleChange: After her partnership with Ayana ended, she started styling her hair to [[PeekABangs hide the scarred left side of her face]]. After she and Ayana finally fight and ''completely'' settle things between them, she pulls her peek-a-bang back behind her ear to reveal the scar, showing how she's no longer dwelling on it.

* PeekABangs: It hides a prominent scar on the left side of her face and is markedly different from her longer hair in flashbacks.

* PeekABangs

* AntiquatedLinguistics: See Keigo.

* {{Keigo}}: Makoto speaks in a fashion not unlike that of period dramas or gang warfare. This is because she spent several years alone, watching these movies over and over again to learn sword techniques. After only hearing people talk like that, is it any surprise that she began to follow suit?

* BladeOnAStick: At the end of the hike.

* KansaiRegionalAccent

* KansaiRegionalDialect: She seems to speak with one.

* KansaiRegionalDialect: Like her daughter Nagi.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: In-universe. She once trained with a Native American tribe in Arizona.

* [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish Surprisingly Good Mandarin]]: In her earlier appearances, Ensuu's speech was rendered in [[ShownTheirWork surprisingly grammatically accurate Mandarin]], acknowledged by Hayashiya to have been translated by a colleague of her editor's friend. However, after a while, Hayashiya simply wrote Ensuu's lines in differently-outlined speech bubbles.

* CuffsOffRubWrists: After her first duel as Hayate's partner.

* GenderMisdirection: For someone who is always refered to as the Kurogane twins' "father", she seems to have too many X-chromosomes and not enough Y-chromosomes.

* BadassInCharge: The reason she's still at the top of Tenchi Academy is because nobody's badass enough to have been able to remove her from her position.

* GagBoobs: Being the most well endowed member of the cast, this was bound to happen. At one point, Sid even calls her "Boing-chan".

* GagBoobs: Being the most well endowed member of the cast, this was bound to happen. At one point, Sid even calls her "[[{{Gainaxing}} Boing-chan]]".

* DualTonfas: She begins to wield these late in the series
-->'''Michi:''' "Are nunchucks allowed as weapons, President!!?"\\
'''Hitsugi:''' "Unfortunately, unlike the graduation event, we are not providing non-bladed weapons as options. It would destroy your identity as ''Sword'' Scholarship bearers, after all."\\
[laughter from surrounding audience members]\\
'''Hitsugi:''' "So, '''that means you can use tonfas.'''"\\
'''Kiji:''' "Sh-She just destroyed the gestalt of recognition to what is considered weaponry established earlier!!!"
* FightingWithChucks: During the school hike.

* WeaponOfChoice: Ensuu uses a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jian Jian]] with a long tasselled rope attached to the pommel.
