History Characters / MacrossDelta

* CatSmile: Mizuki permanently has one of these on her face.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wright.jpg]]

* AcePilot: Subverted. Despite her HeroicLineage, her own flying is… decent at best. Messer ascribes it to her ControlFreak nature, which makes her piloting painfully by-the-book and thus extremely predictable.

** [[spoiler:''Absolute Live'' has a brief moment where her grandfather Max outright deduces that Mirage is the type to bow out of LoveTriangle.]]

* RankUp: In Episode 12, Arad not only promotes Mirage to First Lieutenant, but formally christens her Delta 2, making her Arad's second in command, which ''also'' makes her the new flight leader for Delta Squadron. [[note]]As he himself points out, Arad is Ernest's strategic advisor, meaning his duty is to help monitor military operations against Windermere, not command people into battle. That responsibility is instead left to Mirage following her promotion.[[/note]]

* PutOnABus: Due to the passing of his voice actor following "Passionate Walkure'', ''Absolute Live'' only gives him a brief [[TheVoiceless silent]] cameo from behind, with his role as the Delta Squadron's superior being effectively taken over by [[spoiler:Max.]]

!!Delta Squadron]]

[[folder:Main Characters]]
!!Hayate Immelman

!!Freyja Wion

!!Mirage Farina Jenius

 * LoveHurts: Mirage has the unfortunate luck to see Hayate and Freyja grow closer and closer as her feelings for Hayate grow stronger; it also doesn't particularly help that she's become good friends with Freyja, her love rival and roommate. [[spoiler: She eventually channels her feelings into pushing the two together when events later in the series push them apart.]]

[[folder:Walküre]]
!!Walküre in General

!!Mikumo Guynemer

* StatuesqueStunner: Stands at 165 cm, with only Kaname being taller by 3 cm.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Is only ''three'' years old, as she's an ArtificialHuman.]]

!!Kaname Buccaneer

!!Makina Nakajima

* MsFanservice: While Mikumo and Kaname are no slouches in the bust department, Makina has them, and every other girl in the series, beat. Episode 17 even acknowledges her fanservice value: when CHAOS hit the GodzillaThreshold with the Windermereans, they make ''fat bank'' off of Makina's gravure shots.

[[folder:Kingdom of the Wind]]
!!Heinz Nehrich Windermere (Heinz II)
[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heinz_windermere.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukaTerasaki (speaking); Melody Chubak (singing)

Keith's younger brother and heir to the Windermerean throne. Heinz's songs are the cause of Var Syndrome.

* AmbiguousGender: During the first half of the show there was much confusion about his gender among the fans, until it was eventually confirmed that yes, Heinz is a boy.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Although he reluctantly supports the Windemerean attacks on other planets, he is only doing it because he thinks it’s the best way to protect his people from foreign aggression. Also, he considers the possibility to make peace but he also wants the UN government destroyed. When Freyja begs him to stop the war, he ignores her. [[spoiler:In the finale, he teams up with Chaos out of pragmatism, not because he wants to bury the hatchet.]] Calling him "evil" is a bit strong, but he is definitely an antagonist.
* AntiVillain: Just a young boy who clearly wants to do what's right for his people and family, even if he's rather out of his depth.
* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: A semi-villainous example; [[spoiler:he becomes crowned as king after his father's death, and at his coronation, uses his song to activate a bunch of Protoculture ruins and help Keith take out a NUNS fleet]].
* BigBrotherWorship: Very much admires Keith.
* CastFromLifespan: Windermeran's have very short lifespans in exchange for their extreme physical abilities, and it's heavily implied that Heinz's singing is killing him.
* CoolCrown: A big Hoop Crown for his RequisiteRoyalRegalia that actually dwarfs him.
* DemotedToExtra: In the movie, he's mainly used as a tool for Roid to spread the Var Syndrome. All his characterization from the TV series is absent. It doesn't help that after Mikumo overpowers him with her singing at the Protoculture ruins, he gets knocked out and spends the rest of the movie, unconscious.
* TheDitherer: A “fence-sitter” example. As king of Windemere, Heinz cannot afford second thoughts but doesn’t entirely agree with the idea of galactic domination. Unfortunately, because he is more useful as a Wind Singer than as an authority figure, he has to defer to Roid for the actual ruling of Windemere. [[spoiler:In the later episodes, he makes his choice and [[SlowlySlippingIntoEvil boy, is it a wrong one.]]]]
* FatalFlaw: Indecisiveness. Heinz is unsure whether the Windemereans should embark on a galactic conquest in the name of protection, [[spoiler:and even if he goes along with it anyway, he still hopes for a peaceful solution in the end.]] It bites him in the ass in the finale when Roid moves forward with his AssimilationPlot, with Heinz none the wiser.[[spoiler:He had no real way of knowing about Roid's AssimilationPlot, but when Roid pulled it off, Heinz countered it with a DidntSeeThatComing of his own pretty quickly.]]
* PimpedOutCape: It's so big that it also absolutely dwarfs Heinz.
* PuppetKing: [[spoiler:After his father died, he became King of Windermere]]. However, Roid has full authority while Heinz continues his role to sing and is kept in the dark regarding Roid’s activities.
* SignificantReferenceDate: Shares the same birthday as Macross creator, Creator/ShojiKawamori on February 20.
* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: In the last three episodes, Heinz supports the Windemerean war campaign, but he still hopes for a peaceful end to the conflict. [[spoiler:When it becomes clear the free people of the galaxy will not kneel to the Windemereans, Heinz authorizes the use of the [[BrownNote Star Singer.]]]]
* UnwittingPawn: Sadly, he’s completely oblivious that his singing triggered the Var Syndrome which was used to brainwash local populaces. He gullibly believed that he’s doing it for the sake of his father’s will and his kingdom unaware that Roid is using him for their own plans.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In the movie, Roid finds that he's no longer of use due to his illness and decides to use Mikumo and Walkure instead as his replacement, [[spoiler:explaining that Mikumo's fold waves are stronger than Heinz's due to being a clone to the Star Singer]]. Though he did promise to Keith that he would use Walkure to cure his brother.

!!Gramia Nehrich Windermere (Gramia VI)
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MasakiTerasoma

Ruler of the Kingdom of the Wind and father to Heinz and Keith.

* AcePilot: He was a famous ace seven years ago during the Windermere's war of independence.
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: He dies in Roid's arms in TheStinger of Episode 13.]]
* CoveredWithScars: Has even more of those frostbite-like scars than Helman.
* DeathByAdaptation: Downplayed; he died during the events of the TV series, but the movie made it so that [[PosthumousCharacter he already passes away a year prior to the story's beginning]].
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler: In TheStinger for Episode 13, he dies in Roid's arms after being fatally wounded.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler: He dies halfway though the series.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: Capt. Johnson says that he was all about honor and chivalry back in his prime, when he was training the Windermere space forces before the war.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Acting as one for the Windermere Kingdom against the NUNS forces.
* LegacyCharacter: Was the former "White Knight of Darwent" back when he was still able to fly as the kingdom's top ace.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He is killed in episode 13 because Macross Elysion fired upon the cockpit of the Sigur Valens]].
** [[spoiler:In Episode 21 it was revealed that he was backstabbed by Roid after the explosion.]]
* WeAreAsMayflies: Dying of old age at just 35 — which actually roughly equals to a ''centenarian'' for the Windermerans.
* WorthyOpponent: He seems to regard his old teacher, [[spoiler:Ernest Johnson]], as one.

!! Roid Brehm
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaitoIshikawa

Chancellor of the Kingdom of the Wind.

* AndThenWhat: A villain-to-villain one when he asks Keith why they're so reckless with Heinz when they have a lot to do after the war.
* BadassBookworm : One of the more scholarly Windermereans in the series, and a capable fighter who once served in the Aerial Knights.
* BigBad:
** [[spoiler:Becomes this at the climax of the series as he engineers an AssimilationPlot to control the galaxy using Var Syndrome.]]
** Played this in the movie due to Gramia being dead at the start of the story and Heinz being DemotedToExtra.
* DragonInChief: Technically subordinate to Gramia and Heinz, but is clearly the brain behind the operation.
* EvilChancellor: He's even got the rank to go with it.
* {{Expy}}: He's closely similar to [[spoiler:Grace O'Connor]] of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' despite the difference between their motives.
** Goes full circle in the final episode as [[spoiler:he intends use the Song of Stars to [[AssimilationPlot establish a Fold Network to unite people's minds throughout the galaxy]], with Windemereans as [[MasterRace the core]] of the HiveMind]].
* TheFashionista: He apparently has a separate pair of glasses for each outfit he wears.
* ImmortalitySeeker: [[spoiler:Part of the reasons for his AssimilationPlot is to free the Windemerean species from their short lifespan.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Keith.]]
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: In the first half of the series, he often pulls the Aerial Knights away from prolonged engagements, usually to avoid straining Heinz too much.
* PetTheDog: He seems to be the only one who is actually concerned about Heinz's health, while Heinz's family were willing to carry out their vengeance at Heinz's expense. [[spoiler:Goes into BaitTheDog territory when it's revealed that his own plans are also taking a toll on Heinz's health.]]
* RetiredBadass: He fought in the Windermere's war of independence but gave up being a pilot to be a scholar.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Has them in the stinger of episode 15.
* SmugSnake: He's very arrogant when he kept insisting that the Windermereans are "the true heirs of the Protoculture".
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it "Roid" or "Lloyd"?
* StoicSpectacles : Almost always seen with one.
** Not to mention that he has a showcase filled with dozens of glasses in his room.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:As Delta Squadron and the Aerial Knights combine forces to foil his plans, Roid loses his dignity and begins ranting.]]
* VillainousRescue: He parried Keith's deathblow to Freyja in Episode 8, as he wanted the Walkure members to be captured alive.
* VisionaryVillain: [[spoiler:After Windermere conquers the Brisingr Cluster, Roid reveals what he claims to be Gramia's will; the complete destruction of NUNS, effectively declaring war on the rest of the galaxy.]]

!!Father Johan
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeOno

A priest working on Windermere, who appears in ''Absolute Live''.
----
* GoodShepherd: A priest who serves the God of the Wind and sacrifices himself to protect his people.
* HeroicSacrifice: Overclocks his Rune to protect the people of Freyja's village, but dies as a result.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears for a short time and dies in his first appearance. He ultimately serves to show the audience what happens when a Windermerean dies as a result of old age (the only other Windermereans seen to die prior died by violent means) [[spoiler: and foreshadow Freyja's own fate at the end of the film.]] He also serves to spark Freyja's own concern about her [[YourDaysAreNumbered limited lifespan]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Dies very shortly after his appearance in the movie.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Aerial Knights]]
!! Aerial Knights in General

Windermere's most elite Variable Fighter unit, serving under the Windermerean royal family.
----
* BlackKnight: They play this during their first few appearances, where all the distinctive markings on the SV-262s are colored black to prevent them from being traced back to Windermere.
* ChildSoldier: Relatively speaking of course, as while the younger knights would be considered teenagers by Earth standard, they're actually middle aged by Windermerian ones.
** Played straight during the final stages of independence war, where a young Keith and Roid were pressed into service after the majority of the Windermerian fighting force were decimated by the NUNS.
* DemotedToExtra: In the movies, where most of their characterization is reduced. Only Keith has some significance due to his rivalry with Messer and his friendship with Roid, though Bogue does play a minor role in ''Absolute Live'' [[spoiler: due to joining Delta Flight]].
* HeelFaceTurn: They, along with the rest of Windermere, are no longer enemies of the heroes as of ''Absolute Live'', though Bogue and the twins [[HazyFeelTurn still maintain their negative feelings towards them,]] [[spoiler:and hints of them overcoming these feelings don't start showing up until the final battle.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: The Aerial Knights praise their own chivalry and skill over their enemies.....while also relying heavily on Var Syndrome to even the odds between them and literally any other opponent. In a protracted fight against even a fraction of actual military forces, the Aerial Knights are decisively stomped. Only a few of them express any discomfort with this.
* KnightInShiningArmor: 7 years ago, their 'wings' were 'white'. The former White Knight who was killed by the dimensional weapon explosion, Lord Adria, was actually a hero and a member of SMS forces who had assisted Macross Frontier in their battle against Macross Galaxy.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: They just want to fight for their families and country in order to survive and most don't approve or care much about Roid's plans. [[spoiler:When Roid plans to rule the galaxy via AssimilationPlot, it's no surprise that they turn against him and aid Chaos and Walkure instead]].

!! Keith Aero Windermere
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyoheiKimura

Leader of the Aerial Knights and older brother of Heinz.
----

!! Bogue Con-Vaart

* AdaptationalComicRelief: As a side effect of his reduced screen time compared to the TV series, the movies a bit more emphasis on his comedic side: after he caught his mechanics watching an illegal stream of Walkure, he tries to shut it down only to see some of Reina's...provocative side, causing him to blush much to his chagrin.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The movie version significantly tones down his violent attitude.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: At the end of the series, Bogue [[spoiler: is forced to work with the hated Delta Platoon and Walkure to save Windermere and the entire galaxy from Roid. He still visibly hates them.]]
** This is still the case in ''Absolute Live''; Bogue explicitly says that he ''agrees'' with the Windermereans demanding the [[FantasticRacism 'aliens']] (the non-Windermereans) leave Windermere, but as he has been ordered to assist Delta Platoon and Walkure, he does so anyway.

!! Theo and Xao Jussila

* ThoseTwoGuys: Like Bogue, they hate humans. Other than that, there's nothing much about them asides from being heirs of Windermerian company. In the BD specials, they're the main characters who sneakingly watch footage of Walkure's equipment tutorial with Bogue.

!! Herman Cross

!! Qasim Eberhart

!! Lt. Ghoula

[[folder:Epsilon Foundation]]
!!Berger Stone
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeijiFujiwara (first voice), Mitsuru Ogata (Episode 24 onwards)

A EF executive who's been providing arms and equipment to the Windermerian military. In charge of the Brisingr branch.

* AdaptedOut: Berger is completely absent from the movies.
* ArmsDealer: His main occupation.
* AsYouKnow: His exposition in episode 19 is more of an InfoDump about the previous ''Macross'' shows to the new viewers. Then, he explicitly told Mirage that he knew about her grandparents (Max and Millia Jenius) who are leaders of Macross 7 and about her aunt Mylene who is a member of Fire Bomber which is something that Mirage already knew.
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler:Warns Chaos that Roid plans to enslave all life in the galaxy and politely asks them to stop him. Apparently, the end of free will is bad for business.]]
* EvilGenius: He's also the guy in charge of the people researching the Brisingr Cluster's Protoculture relics.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Continuously insists both Chaos and Windemere are just clients to him and has no personal interest in their war. [[spoiler:He warns Chaos of Roid’s endgame because it endangers his business.]]
* PlayingBothSides: He's working with the Windermerians, but in episode 19 he informs Chaos about his theories about the Protoculture and insists that the Windermerians are just his clients. In fact, he refuses to tell Roid what occurred while he was making his delivery to Chaos, insisting that doing so would be unprofessional.
* UnreliableExpositor: His theory about the Protoculture and the songs somewhat contradicts what was established in the previous ''Macross'' shows. While he may have a point about how songs are used in the previous wars, there are some holes.

!!Sydney Hunt
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai

An EF agent and ex-NUNS official who tried to make off with Star Singer DNA years ago before he worked with Heimdall.
----
* ArmsDealer: As per employment with EF, he provides weapons and war material to Heimdall.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:He tries to make a break for it when it looks like Heimdall might lose, only to get gunned down on Cromwell's orders.]]

[[folder:Heimdall]]
!!Ian Cromwell
-->'''Voiced by:''' Jiro Saito

The leader of the rogue organization Heimdall and the primary threat on ''Absolute Live''.

* BigBad: He's the main bad guy in ''Absolute Live!!!!!!!''.
* ConspiracyTheorist: The crux of his plan. He is obsessed with the idea that Lady M is ruling over the galaxy [[spoiler: from the stranded Megaroad-01]] and seeks to destroy her in order to free the children of the Protoculture from her control.
* {{Cyborg}}: Ian has a robotic left arm.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: In practice. While he has hints of a backstory, none of it is particularly expanded upon and he mostly serves as a threat for Walkure and Delta Flight to fight.
* FallenHero: It's heavily implied that he used to be a well-respected [=NUNS=] officer before falling off the deep end.

!!Yami_Q_Ray
-->'''Yami_ Mikumo voiced by:''' Creator/AmiKoshimizu (speaking); [=JUNNA=] (singing)
-->'''Yami_ Freyja voiced by:''' Creator/MinoriSuzuki
-->'''Yami_ Kaname voiced by:''' Creator/KiyonoYasuno
-->'''Yami_Reina voiced by:''' Creator/NaoTouyama
-->'''Yami_Makina voiced by:''' Nozomi Nishida

[=AI=] counterparts of Walkure created by the Siren System that serve as Heimdall's songstresses.

* AIIsACrapshoot: A group of artificial idols created to further Heimdall's plans.
* CharacterCatchphrase:
-->'''Yami_ Mikumo:''' Music is darkness!
-->'''Yami_ Freyja:''' Music is madness!
-->'''Yami_ Kaname:''' Music is euphoria!
-->'''Yami_Reina:''' Music is desire!
-->'''Yami_Makina:''' Music is despair!
* OutOfFocus: Despite only appearing in ''Absolute Live'', they barely have any focus; even Yami_Freyja ultimately gets scarcely any before [[spoiler: Yami_Q_Ray is subsumed into the Siren System child instead]].
* ThePsychoRangers: Evil knockoffs of Walkure whose designs are made to contrast their respective counterparts.
* SuperiorSuccessor: Designed to be one to [[Anime/MacrossPlus Sharon Apple]], a previous virtual idol. [[spoiler: They were also further designed to amalgamate into a single entity that uses a human brain instead of a personality chip like Sharon's to empower the system.]]

[[folder:New United Nations Military]]
!!Wright Immelman
-->'''Voiced by:''' Seirou Ogino

Hayate's father and a NUNS officer. [[spoiler:It turns out that he was a secret agent sent to infiltrate Windermere and collect DNA samples of the Star Singer.]]

* AdaptedOut: His involvement in the NUNS-Windermere war isn't mentioned at all in the films, and his [[spoiler:dropping of the dimensional bomb seems to have been removed.]]
* GreaterScopeParagon: At the very least, the Chaos division has nothing but good things to say about him, especially his son and Arad. Even the reveal that [[spoiler: he bombed Windermere and killed innocent civilians]] doesn't temper this perception.
* SilentScapegoat: [[spoiler:He attempted to drop the dimensional bomb in a remote location in order to minimize casualties; unfortunately, the Kingdom of the Wind misinterpreted his actions and treats him as a pariah. Even when the truth comes out later in the series, they never find out.]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:His involvement in dropping the dimensional weapon, as well as in acquring DNA samples of the Star Singer, started the series by firstly being a casus belli for Windermere and secondly, ensuring Mikumo's existence. He is also directly responsible for Freyja's own interest in music, giving her a music player while stationed on Windermere, which ultimately results in Freyja fleeing Windermere to join Walkure.]]
** [[spoiler:In the ''Absolute Live!!!!!!!'' movie, it is stated that he and Father Johann briefly worked together to prevent Epsilon Foundation agents from making off with Star Singer DNA material.]]
* TheVoiceless: He's never shown speaking during the 2nd movie.

[[folder:Others]]
!!Lady M

The mysterious head of Chaos, the organization in charge of both the ''Macross Elysion'' and Walküre. It's not know who the person is, except that she is a female with personal and professional ties to the New United Nations government.

[[AllThereInTheManual Dialogue in the show and supplement material indicates that she has experienced the first Space War]].

* TheGhost: She's not seen in the show, but only mentioned in passing. [[spoiler:In ''Absolute Live!!!!!!!'', it's implied that Lady M is stuck inside Megaroad-01. Or may actually ''be'' the entire crew of the Megaroad-1. It's not entirely clear which.]]
* MysteriousBenefactor: The unseen head of both protagonist factions, who is responsible for getting supplies to the protagonists to continue their fight against Windermere.
* TheUnreveal: Her identity remains a mystery even among those serving in high-ranking positions of Chaos Squadron. The only clues about her are from Berger Stone but we're not exactly sure if this information is really reliable. [[spoiler: The only hints are that she may either be Misa, Minmay or even ''the entire crew of the Megaroad'' using "Lady M" as a collective moniker.]]

!! Rune

The child created by Heimdall's Siren System in ''Absolute Live'' from the amalgamation of Yami_Q_Ray.

* TheVoiceless: He's never shown speaking, and as such, he does not have a voice actor.

* CharacterCatchphase:

* DemotedToExtra: Her love triangle with Hayate and Freyja is completely absent in the films. Instead, she remains good friends with them.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Accepts Hayate and Freyja’s relationship, albeit with [[SingleTear a teary eye.]] She also ends up being one of their strongest advocates, hitting them with multiple GetAHoldOfYourselfMan moments and pushing the two of them to confess to each other in the final episode to break out of Roid's AssimilationPlot.]]

* LoveHurts: Mirage has the unfortunate luck to see Hayate and Freyja grow closer and closer as her feelings for Hayate grow stronger; it also doesn't particularly help that she's become good friends with Freyja, her love rival and roommate. [[spoiler: She eventually channels her feelings into pushing the two together when events later in the series push them apart.]]
* OutOfFocus: In ''Passionate Walkure'', ''and how''. Despite being the third point of the love triangle, Mirage gets minimal characterization, at least compared to Hayate and Freyja. She does regain a little focus in ''Absolute Live'', primarily due to her grandfather appearing, but not by much.

* NoodleIncident: In ''Zettai Live'', it's revealed she suffered a WardrobeMalfunction while doing a rodeo with a galactic hippo for a variety show some time ago.

[[folder:Kingdom of the Wind]]
!!Heinz Nehrich Windermere (Heinz II)
[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heinz_windermere.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukaTerasaki (speaking); Melody Chubak (singing)

Keith's younger brother and heir to the Windermerean throne. Heinz's songs are the cause of Var Syndrome.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Due to the movie's running time, Keith's vengeful tendencies were reduced and he becomes nobler as seen in his conversation with Kaname where he tells her that he heard her song when he was fighting Messer and notes him for being a WorthyOpponent. In the final battle, [[spoiler:he is the one who commands the Windermerian fleet to join forces with Walkure in order to stop Roid from fulfilling his evil plan]].

* KarmaHoudini: The cruelest and vilest of the Aerial Knights in the TV series, and doesn’t suffer any punishment for it other than the HumblePie moment above.

* ArmsDealer: As per employement with EF, he provides weapons and war material to Heimdall.

** [[spoiler:In the ''Absolute Live!!!!!!!'' movie, it is stated that he and Father Johann briefly worked together to prevent Epsilon Foundation agents from makingh off with Star Singer DNA material.]]

* ColorCodedCharacters: His VF-31S Siegfried has red accents. [[spoiler:His VF-31AX Kairos Plus from the 2nd movie, however, has a black color scheme like the one Messer had used for his VF-31F.]]

* FantasticRacism: Out of all the Windermerians shown so far, he seems to be the one that hates humans and human culture (or human-zentraedi culture, since both are just about inseparable at this point) the most. Even after [[spoiler: joining Delta Platoon]], Bogue maintains this trait.
* FieryRedhead: By far the most hot-tempered of the Knights.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: It's implied that the deaths of his family during the independence war drives Bogue's hatred of the [=NUN=]. Not that it justifies being an utter JerkAss.]]
* HumblePie: [[spoiler:Gets a modest helping of it in the finale, when Roid threatens to assimiliate all life in the galaxy, including the Windemereans, forcing Bogue to work with Walküre to save his homeworld.]]
* KarmaHoudini: The cruelest and vilest of the Aerial Knights, and doesn’t suffer any punishment for it other than the HumblePie moment above.

** In ''Absolute Live'' he also derides Hayate for being an Earthling and therefore an invader. Mind, this is ''after'' he [[spoiler: both helped Hayate and his allies STOP a ''Windermerean'' attempt to assimilate the entire galaxy, and after he himself aided in the invasion of multiple planets by Windermere. He also thten proceeds to help Hayate ''again'' stop another plan that would result in Windermere's destruction.]]
* ObviouslyEvil: With all the smug grins, violent attitude and unabashed racism he gives out, he might as well wear a tag that says “Evil Bastard.” [[spoiler: Ultimately, he ends up being the TokenEvilTeammate to Delta Platoon, with the Aerial Knights changing sides once they realise Roid's scheme would doom Windermere as well as the galaxy.]]

* TokenEvilTeammate: Other Aerial Knights are fighting to protect their homeland. Bogue just wants to kill as many humans as he can. [[spoiler: He ends up being this to Delta Flight during the finale of ''Delta'' and then ''Absolute Live'', flying with Hayate, Mirage and the others as "Delta-6" to fight Heimdall in the latter.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: To Windermere. [[spoiler: This results in him turning on Roid with the rest of his team when he realises that Windermere would be utterly destroyed as a result of his scheme]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's either Qasim or Casim.

* ColorCodedCharacters: He tends to fly blue-colored Valkyries, except for when he used [[spoiler:Messer's black VF-31F Siegfried during the later parts of the TV series]]

* ColorCodedCharacters: Her Valkyries have a dark red paintjob.

* AcePilot: Subverted. Despite her HeroicLineage, her own flying is… decent, and that's basically it. Messer ascribes it to her ControlFreak nature, which makes her piloting painfully by-the-book and thus extremely predictable.

* ColorCodedCharacters: His Valkyries tend to be painted red, [[spoiler:with the exception of his VF-31AX Kairos Plus from the 2nd movie, which is painted black like Messer's was.]]

* CluelessChickMagnet: Seems totally ignorant of the ''extremely'' [[CrushBlush obvious crush]] one of Chuck's sisters (and not only her) is having on him.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Kaname. [[spoiler: His death ensures it remains unresolved.]]

* BlueIsHeroic: Blue is always used to identify him in the show and promotional materials. He has blue hair, a blue uniform, his plane has a blue paint job, and he is always colored blue whenever he has an OutOfClothesExperience.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: She's the object of Messer's affection, and she ends up becoming attracted to him too, but the two . [[spoiler: Owing to his death, it stays unresolved.]]

* AdaptationalComicRelief: He's reduced to this in the movie where after he caught his mechanics watching an illegal stream of Walkure and tries to shut it down only to see some of Reina's...provocative side, causing him to blush much to his chagrin. This does happen in the series too, but due to his increased screen time, the effect is less visible.

* CharacterCatchphrase: They all got a personal one.

* MsFanservice: Being idols, this comes with the territory. Though some of their outfits are rather revealing even for idols.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Her incredibly obvious mutual attraction with Arad is a prime source of gossip for the Elysion's crew.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: Kaname is the most experienced member of Walkure and its leader...but Mikumo is the center [[spoiler: and a clone of the Star Singer, giving her immense power]] and Freyja is the RookieRedRanger[[spoiler: whose Windermerean biology makes her, at her strongest, Mikumo's equal]]. Small wonder she suffers HeroicSelfDeprecation.
* {{Protectorate}}: Is this for Messer.

* StatuesqueStunner: Is the tallest of the team, standing at 168 cm.

* TwiceShy: With Arad. Later in the series, there's a heavy implication that the two are interested in each other (such as sharing a HeldGaze during Freyja's birthday, itself a font of ShipTease), [[spoiler: but stay apart on account of Messer.]]
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Messer. [[spoiler: Owing to his death, it stays unresolved.]]

* MsFanservice: If Episode 17 is any indication, she's this even in comparison with the rest of Walküre. When they hit the GodzillaThreshold with the Windermereans, CHAOS makes ''fat bank'' off of Makina's fanservice value.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: With Kaname.

* TwiceShy: With Kaname. The BridgeBunnies in the Episode 4 gossip behind their backs that they should just start dating already and stop messing with everyone's heads, their own first and foremost.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He's hinted to have feelings for Kaname but does not act on them due to her close friendship with Arad and the fact that he has Var syndrome.

* MeaningfulName: "Messer" means "Knife" in German, and he's easily the edgiest of the characters, being on par with Bogue. Also, as Delta Flight's ace, his last name is shared with 26-time ace [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Ihlefeld Herbert Ihlefeld]], who scored 130 kills over the course of a thousand-plus missions. Ironically, [[spoiler:Messer would not live long]].

** CallingYourAttacks: Does a variation [[spoiler:in episode 26]]

* DeathByAdaptation: He already passed away prior to the events of the movie.

* KarmaHoudini: The cruelest and vilest of the Aerial Knights, and doesn’t suffer any punishment for it other than the HumblePie moment above

* TokenEvilTeammate: Other Aerial Knights are fighting to protect their homeland. Bogue just wants to kill as many humans as he can. [[spoiler: He ends up being this to Delta Flight during the finale of ''Delta'' and then ''Absolute Live'', flying with Hayate, Mirage and the others to fight Heimdall in the latter.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeijiFujiwara

* AdaptedOut: Berger isn't in the Passionate Walkure film.

* {{Catchphrase}}: They all got a personal one.

** [[spoiler:In the Absolute movie, he and Father Johann worked together briefly to prevent Epsilon Foundation agents from makingh off with Star Singer DNA material.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Not as much as [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Alto Saotome]], but he is one of the most attractive males in the franchise.

* {{Bishonen}}: The majority of the Knights are young pretty boys with the exception of Herman and Qasim.

* OldShame: InUniverse example. Her debut as an idol is one for her, according to the Specials. When Mirage accidentally stumbles on a video of it, Kaname took measures to get rid of the video in its entirety so no one else would stumble upon it. Unfortunately for her, [[BodyguardCrush Messer]] found it ages ago.

* MeaningfulEcho: The child's final words on screen are the same as Freyja's in the series, [[spoiler: showing that she has inherited Freyja's personality.]]

* WrenchWench: Her bio indicates she is a mechanic. She is literally using a wrench to repair a Valkyrie in the opening credits. The movie strongly confirms that she's the great granddaughter of Raizou Nakajima, a UN mechanic who was involved in the UN Wars.

%%* ChristmasCake: According to the manga, most Windermerans are married by her age of 14 (although it's uncertain if Windermere years are the same as Earth years). The anime later reveals that Windermerans typically have a lifespan of only 30 years.
%%** By the end of the series, it's strongly implied her singing career may mean she only lives into her early 20's. [[spoiler: In ''Absolute Live'''s continuity, Freyja doesn't make it past 15, dying by the end of the film.]]

* BareYourMidriff: Her non-holographic uniform that she wears for day to day operations, as well as a large majority of her Walkure uniforms.

* BareYourMidriff: Similar to Kaname where it's part of her uniform, but not her costume as part of Walküre.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: He doesn't die in the movie and is able to join his fellow knights in the final battle. He is shown flying with the others in ''Absolute Live'', confirming that he survives, at least in the movie continuity.

* DemotedToExtra: In the movie where most of their characterization is reduced. Only Keith has some significance due to his rivalry with Messer and his friendship with Roid, though Bogue does play a minor role in ''Absolute Live'' [[spoiler: due to joining Delta Flight]].
