* BenevolentAI: As a cyber fairy mascot, Fal's progrom utulizes an AI software. He's a kind AI who only wants to help those in trouble. He's even something of a worrywort when it comes to Snow White's wellbeing.

* NiceGuy: In reality, Fal is just a kind-heart AI who loves to help others.

* GoodNeedsEvil: Pythie believes that the ideal magical girl needs to suffer in order to become stronger. This phylosophy leads her to meddle in Snow White's life from the shadows after ''Limited''. All of it is to build Snow White into a stronger, more ideal hero, even if it costs Snow all of her friends, her body, and her sanity.

* LaResistance: She is apart of an organization that's trying to reform the Magical Kingdom.

* BodyguardingABadass: She was assigned to escort Ripple, a magical girl who had proven herself more than cappable of handling her own in a fight.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's very distant towards people in general, but will eventually grow attached to you if given enough time; she didn't like her mento, Top Speed, much at first, but warmed to her after awhile.

* GratuitousNinja: She thought it would be cool to be a magical girl ninja for the heck of, leading her to create just that in the mobile game. She didn't ever except that she'd be turned into magical girl ninja herself.

[[WMG:[[center:[-''LightNovel/MagicalGirlRaisingProject'' [[Characters/MagicalGirlRaisingProject Character Index]]\\

* BigBad: She steadily becomes the closest thing the series has to an ongoing antagonist, as a lot of conflicts are traced back to her. ''QUEENS'' reveals that she was the one who started the project to create artificial magical girls, and was the one who oversaw the training of the Pure Elements as "Ms. Tanaka."
* ItsAllAboutMe: Her only real desire is to find Magical Girls who fit with her theme and have them carry on her name.

%% TheJuggernaut: What she's like in battle, thanks to her ability.

After managing to survive in all her appearances past ''Limited'', she is the fifth and final casualty of ''QUEENS'', being stabbed in the stomach by a brainwashed Shadow Gale's scissors.

%%* GamerChick: After spending some time with Armor Arlie. Arguably a downplayed case of StockholmSyndrome as Armor Arlie is one of her ''kidnappers''.

%%* BigBad: Of ''Limited''. She is also the character that best qualifies for BigBad of the series as a whole.

%%* HughMann: She can't seem to understand how to emote her expressions and feelings, despite feeling them. [[spoiler:Justified as a tortoise really doesn't have experience in muscle movements to express emotion.]]

[[folder:7753]]
!! 7753/Kotori Nanaya
[[quoteright:305:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7753.png]]

A member of the Magical Girl Resources Department of the Magical Kingdom. 7753 (pronounced 'nanakosan') is a magical girl that specializes in scouting and information gathering. Thanks to her goggles. She's been a magical girl for several years now, but hasn't actually been working much in the field. Something which she greatly desires to do.

Her ability is to '''use magic goggles that tell her all about her targets'''. Her goggles can see any detail she wants to find out about a person. Quantifiable details with a rating value- like physical strength- will be rated on a scale of one to five, statistics such as "amount of food eaten" will be given a number, and non-quantifiable information- such as hobbies/likes/dislikes/etc.- will simply be listed.

* BodyguardingABadass: She was assigned to escort Ripple, a magical girl who had proven herself more than cappable of handling her own in a fight.
* DrowningMySorrows: It's implied that she used to indulge in the bottle during times of stress. She avoids doing so after ''Limited'' so that she can better take care of Tepsekemei.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Her goggles let her see any and all information she wants.
%%* IJustWantToBeSpecial: 7753 only wanted to become a hero. Especially since she knows what magical girls are capable of.
* NextTierPowerUp: 7753's mentor had her goggles upgraded to allow her to transmit visual and auditory information in addition to whatever statistics they pick up.
* StatOVision: 7753's goggles can assign a strength rating to anyone she looks at, giving her an edge when it comes to combat.
* SurvivorGuilt: After the events of ''Limited'', 7753's wrecked with guilt that a coward like her survived while [[spoiler:nearly all the Namiyama magical girls died despite knowing nothing of the Magical Kingdom]].
* TragicKeepsake: 7753 keeps [[spoiler:Ripple's scarf]] after believing her to be dead.

[[folder:Mana]]
!! Mana
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mana_8.png]]

Head of the Investigation Team, Mana leads her team in trying to find the assassin. No-Nonsense and straight to the point, Mana cares little about the Magical Kingdom's political infighting, focusing instead on the job at hand. She also has a close relationship with longtime partner Hana Gekokujou.

Her ability is to '''use spells and ceremonies to perform various magics'''. Though not a magical girl, Mana ''is'' a mage, a human who can use magic. As such, she uses a wand that allows her to cast plenty of spells that can be useful in a fight.

* BadassNormal: Mana isn't a magical girl but a mage, a human that knows magic. She's still able to hold her own in a fight with superhuman magical girls.
* BigSisterInstinct:
** Her protective behavior towards Hana is the result of being her elder step-sister.
** She starts to developing similiar protective behavior towards 7753 and Tepsekemei after the events of ''Limited'', and it's very apparent by ''Breakdown'' that she cares deeply for them both.
* BodyguardingABadass: She's partnered with Hana, who she acts as something of a bodyguard to. Not only does Hana have extremely good combat skills, but Mana isn't even a magical girl in the first place: she's a mage, a human who happens to know how to use magic. Hana is leagues beyond her in terms of strength and speed, yet Mana will protect her at all costs.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Due to her bad temper and dependency on magic, Mana's a pretty terrible driver.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mana gets irritated easily and has trouble trusting others, but she also has a strong sense of justice and is very loyal to her friends.
* TheLeader: Of the Investigation Team.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Still gets mistaken for a high-schooler despite being an adult.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Her outfit typically includes a witch's hat and following robe.
* SirSwearsALot: Mana is a gender-inverted variant; she's more apt to curse than other magical girls.
* UndyingLoyalty: Mana's extremely loyal to Hana, who she will try to protect at all costs.

[[folder:Tepsekemei]]
!! Tepsekemei/Mei
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tepsekemei.png]]
A member of Namiyama Middle School. Tepsekemei, or Mei for short, was transformed into a magical girl by the fairy Toko. She has some trouble expressing her emotions clearly and can be a little dense sometimes, but she has a good heart and will fight to protect those she cares about.

Her ability is to '''become one with the wind to go anywhere'''. She can turn into a gaseous form, reform somewhere, follow the wind, fly, and become untouchable during this period.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Even after living with 7753 for a year and frequently meeting Mana, she still can't recall their names. She usually calls 7753 Weddin.

* ElementalShapeshifter: Part of Mei's magic includes being able to shapeshift into a gaseous form.
%%* HughMann: She can't seem to understand how to emote her expressions and feelings, despite feeling them. [[spoiler:Justified as a tortoise really doesn't have experience in muscle movements to express emotion.]]
* HumanityEnsues: [[spoiler:Mei was an Egyptian tortoise before being turned into a magical girl.]]
* ImCryingButIDontKnowWhy: [[spoiler:Once the dust from the fiasco in B City has settled, she begins to cry because everyone else is dead. She wonders how it is she's crying, as she did not practice doing so.]]

* TeamPet: Before being turned into a magical girl, Tepsekemei [[spoiler:was a classroom tortoise]].
* ThirdPersonPerson: She always refers to herself as "Mei".

[[folder:Princess Deluge]]
!! Princess Deluge/Nami Aoki
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princess_deluge.png]]

A middle school student and one of the Pure Elements. Princess Deluge is a water-based magical girl, possessing a stylized trident, as well as a water-based powerset. She's a fairly popular Middle School student, able to get along with many friends, as well as being described as "Bright and Refreshing!" by her classmates.

Her ability is to '''fight enemies using the power of water'''. Her primary weapon is a trident, through which she can summon and/or freeze water.

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:By ''ACES'', Deluge as no compunctions about fighting as mercilessly as she wants.]]
* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Just the sight of Shufflin sends Deluge into a homicidal rage, due to Shufflin being the one who killed her friends.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:She's the primary antagonist of ''ACES''.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Over the course of ''JOKERS'', Deluge's optimistic and generally cheerful attitude is slowly erroded away. [[spoiler:Seeing her friends get killed off one by one ends up breaking her.]]
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:She's seemingly killed by Snow White in the climax of ''QUEENS'', but she's able to hang on long enough for Mana to give her medical care.]]
* EmotionlessGirl: [[spoiler:The trauma she endures during ''JOKERS'' reduces Deluge's ability to feel much of anything for some time.]]
* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:Deluge is a villainous version of Snow White. Both were good-hearted girls who were intensely traumatized by their experiences. However, while Snow White was merely hardened by her expriences but keeps herself grounded thanks to Fal, Deluge's desire for revenge leaves her unhinged and amoral.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:By the end of ''ACES'', Deluge has completely embraced her villainous nature. She's fully aware of her descent as well, but she also knows she's too far gone for redemption.]]
* FallenHero: [[spoiler: She starts out as the optimistic NiceGirl member of the Pure Elements into a psychotic terrorist obsessed with revenge.]]
* AnIcePerson: In addition to summoning water, Deluge can freeze it too.
* MakingASplash: Her ability is to summon and manipulate water.
* MeaningfulName: The "Deluge" part of her magical girl name references her water manipulation ability.
* NiceGirl: Deluge is a good-natured girl who happily takes Prism Cherry into the Pure Elements despite not knowing her very well. [[spoiler:After the traumatic events of ''JOKERS'', this trait becomes nonexistent.]]
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Deluge's weapon is a trident. She uses it in fights both as a regular weapon and to manipulate water.
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:Her motive after her FaceHeelTurn is to get revenge on the people who were responsible for the deaths of her friends.]]
* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler:At the end of ''QUEENS'', Deluge freezes and shatters her old notebook containing memories of her old life, emphasizing that she's thrown everything away in her pursuit for revenge.]]
%%* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:An intensely disturbing example in ''ACES''.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Talking about Princess Deluge is difficult without bringing up [[spoiler:her transformation into a villain after ''JOKERS'']].

[[folder:Marika Fukuroi]]
!! Marika Fukuroi/Mariko Fukuroi
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marika_fukuroi.png]]

A battle-hungry magical girl, formerly known as ''The Flower Vendor'' Marika Fukuroi. She was once a student of Archfiend Pam's Survival School, but due to her... aggressiveness, she was expelled for being too violent. Not many of her former classmates like her, and many more don't really like her excitable attitude.

Her ability is to '''make various magic flowers bloom from her head'''. By eating a seed, she can grow a particular magical flower on top of her head. Depending on the flower, her actual powers will vary, making it very versatile, but unpredictable.

[[folder:Pythie Frederica]]
!! Pythie Frederica/Yoshioka
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pythie_frederica.png]]

A former Magical Kingdom official turned prisoner. Pythie has grown disillusioned with the Magical Kingdom's methods and believes that an ideal magical girl is needed to reform the selection process. To that end, she's interested in those who display strength of character, strength, and their own will to strive for a better world. Unfortunately, the methods she used have gotten her imprisoned. Recently, however, with the help of Tot Pop, Pythie has been broken free, in return for a small favor.

Her ability is to '''reflect whoever she wants in her crystal ball'''. Using a strand of hair, Pythie can see the area immediately surrounding the hair's owner in her crystal ball. She can also interact with the environment through the ball, such as bringing people towards her, attacking people, or bringing her and others towards the target.

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Starting with ''Limited'', every arc finishes with Pythie [[KarmaHoudini evading karma]] and obtaining some sort of profit from whatever conflict that was happening within the Magical Kingdom.]]
%%* BigBad: Of ''Limited''. She is also the character that best qualifies for BigBad of the series as a whole.
%%* BreakThemByTalking: Something she's ''very'' good at.
* ChekhovsGunman: Was mentioned near the beginning of ''Restart'', albeit not by name.
* TheChessmaster: Deconstructed. While Pythie ''is'' very dangerous and intelligent, she ultimately can't keep up in the long run with the other characters, because those characters know that she plans on manipulating them and refuse to trust her. [[spoiler:Choosing to let Pukin and Sonia work with her also turns out to be a terrible idea.]]
* DecoyAntagonist: Invoked; while Pythie is the primary antagonist of ''Limited''- commanding the villain squad, being the character given the most ties to the series' backstory- she ''isn't'' the reason the Magical Kingdom agents are in B City. [[spoiler:Once Rain Pow reveals her true colors, Pythie predictably gets knocked down a peg.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She genuinely cares for her disciples.
%%* EvilMentor: To a fairly extensive number of people. This includes Tot Pop, Keek and Snow White.
* GoodNeedsEvil: Pythie believes that the ideal magical girl needs to suffer in order to become stronger. This phylosophy leads her to meddle in Snow White's life from the shadows after ''Limited''. All of it is to build Snow White into a stronger, more ideal hero, even if it costs Snow all of her friends, her body, and her sanity.
* HeroWorship: She is a fervent believer in Snow White and her cause, considering her the one who can revolutionize the Magical Kingdom.
* LaResistance: She is apart of an organization that's trying to reform the Magical Kingdom.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:She gets out of ''Limited'' with only Tot Pop's death to show for it, and a brainwashed Ripple and Pukin's mind control blade to compensate.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: Pythie can persuade almost anybody willing to join her cause.
* MeaningfulName: The first part of her name, "Pythie", is a reference to Pythia, an Oracle of Delphi who also used crystal balls.
* PragmaticVillainy: Despite being ruthless, Pythie is well aware that her opponents are of more use to her as hostages than dead, and consequently forbids her allies from executing others.
* PsychoLesbian: She enjoys stalking and spying on pretty girls "as a snack", and is obsessed with beautiful magical girls, especially their hair. She likes to smell and touch other magical girls and vividly fantasizes about them. [[spoiler:In ''Limited'''s epilogue, she is shown closely and affectionately caressing a barely dressed Ripple, whom she kidnapped and brainwashed. She keeps Ripple with her for at least a year.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it "Pythie Frederica" or "Pity Frederica"?
* TranslatorBuddy: In ''Limited'', she serves as a translator for her team, who all speak English. Pythie is the only one who can also speak Japanese.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: So long as the end result is what she believes to be a better Magical Kingdom, Pythie will do whatever it takes.
* WeaksauceWeakness: She needs her crystal ball to enact many of her plans. Without it, Pythie's one strength is a good strategic mind. [[spoiler:This bites her in the ass when the ball is momentarily stolen by Funny Trick.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She wants to reform the Magical Kingdom. Her earlier attempt failed, she's trying again with more force this time.

[[folder:Uluru]]
!! Uluru
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uluru.png]]
The leader of Puk Puck's Royal Guard and the eldest of three adoptive sisters. Uluru is a loyal member of the Puk Faction who was assigned as the head of the search party for Premium Sachiko. She's a stubborn, hard-headed magical girl who wants to make Puk Puck proud as a way of showing her appreciation for all the things that Puk has done for her.

Her ability is to be '''very good at lying'''. Anything that Uluru tells you will automatically be believed by anyone that can understand her. While this doesn't change reality, it does affect everyone's beliefs. The statement will always be believed unless given 100% proof that it's false. (For example, Uluru could say a chair is pink and you'd believe it until you see for yourself that the chair wis actually brown.) Uluru can also cancel her magic by admitting that what she said was a lie. For a weapon, Uluru has a pop gun rifle that fires a flag that says "BANG!" and makes a loud noise. It doesn't actually have bullets and is used more as a melee weapon.
----

[[folder:Dark Cutie]]
!! Dark Cutie
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dark_cutie.png]]
The leader of a bounty hunter team of magical girls. Dark Cutie is a well-known celebrity within the Magical Kingdom, starring in the anime ''Cutie Healer Galaxy''. As such, she's quite a famous figure. However, after a scandal in the PR Division, she was reduced to a villainous role in the show. Now she leads the bounty hunter group. She specializes in assassination and infiltration, and is very resourceful, if a bit quiet and uncaring.

Her ability is to '''manipulate shadows and silhouettes as if they're real'''. She can manifest shadows that are caused both by her or anything else into real life. The shadow takes the form of whatever they were cast before, which gives her extreme versatility in creating the right tools for the job.
----
* CardCarryingVillain: She very openly embraces her position as a villain.
* CompressedHair: Her hair is pretty long, but it appears short due to the clamps.
%% DarkIsEvil: Or at least, "Dark believes she must be evil".
* ExecutiveMeddling: InUniverse Example. Thanks to a scandal, her role in ''Cutie Healer'' was changed from a heroic role to a villainous one.
* HeroWorshipper: Cutie is a huge fan of Snow White.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: [[spoiler:The epilogue to ''QUEENS'' implies she's became a Snow White stalker.]]
[[/folder]]

After ''Unmarked'', she begins hunting down rogue magical girls, earning her the moniker "The Magical Girl Hunter".

* ActualPacifist: She's initially averse to the idea of fighting other magical girls, or anyone in general. After ''Unmarked'', this aspect of her character changes to that of a TechnicalPacifist.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair and eye colors as magical girl were originally beige in the light novels, but the anime changed them to a pale pink. Since then, the light novels have depicted her hair and eyes as pink.
* AntiHero: After the turmoil she went through due to Cranberry's exam, she begins to hunt down other rogue magical girls.
* AscendedFanboy: She's a huge fangirl of the magical girl genre, ever since she was a kid. Naturally, she gets very excited when she becomes one herself. Her magical girl costume is even the exact same outfit as the one she designed back in elementary school.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: After wishing to be a magical girl for years, she actually manages to become one after joining the ''Magical Girl Raising Project'' game. Unfortunately, her wish comes crashing down around her when she and her fellow magical girls are forced to battle each other in order to stay alive.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Snow White is one of the more empathetic and compassionate magical girls, and God help you if you display enough evil intent to push past all that careful restraint and awaken the ruthless fighter underneath. While she may not kill her targets, she has no qualms with crushing bones, carving through skin, or breaking minds to stop villains in their tracks.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Via Puk Puck's Friendship Magic in ''QUEENS'', making her completely adore Puk Puck and fight for her goals. It's undone near the end by Lapis Lazuline III.]]

%% CartwrightCurse: Subjected to this after [[spoiler:La Pucelle is killed. Hardgore Alice and Princess Inferno also didn’t last long after meeting her again.]]

* TheCowl: After the first arc, she becomes similar to vigilantes such as Franchise/{{Batman}} in her personality and role.
* CrazyPrepared: She has mind-reading capabilities, a cyber-mascot companion that can access or hack personal records for nearly any opponent, a magical bag that can carry anything, and enough martial skill and tactical creativity to make even an army of magical girls nervous. In most cases, she is easily capable of determining the weaknesses of anyone she goes up against, physically or psychologically, and can prepare in advance enough to ensure that victory is a foregone conclusion.
* CynicismCatalyst: After the events of the first arc, she is no longer the idealistic magical girl she used to be and has become jaded with what she has seen. She becomes more ruthless and begins hunting down rogue magical girls who threaten the lives of others and shows little to no remorse in doing so.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To Puk Puck against her will, in ''QUEENS''. She's Puk Puck's tactician, giving orders to everyone, and she's one of the last lines of defense for the device.]]
* TheDreaded: Come ''JOKERS'', Snow White's become so renowned for hunting and arresting over 30 rogue magical girls, she has essentially become the boogeyman for rogue magical girls.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Puk Puck's Friendship Magic convinces Snow to join her side as Puck's personal bodyguard, putting her against the protagonists in ''QUEENS''.]]

* GoodIsNotNice: After the events of the first arc, the trauma Snow White suffered has hardened her. While she's still unequivocally on the side of good, she won't hesitate to break some bones or shed some blood if it means capturing the bad guys.
* GuileHero: Snow White's ability is more passive than active, but she uses it in creative ways, such as reading the thoughts of her opponents to better counter their attacks. In addition to her innate power, her arsenal also includes a naginata, a four-dimensional bag, and a cyber fairy mascot who can help her track down magical girls and gain information on those she hunts. She's managed to outwit her opponents more than once because of these assets.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: During the events of the first arc, Snow White doesn't see how her power could be used in combat situations. As such, she often feels useless, even agreeing with other magical girls who feel the same. However, the rules of the elimination game state that the magical girl that helps the most people will survive. Since Snow White's power lets her hear those who are in distress, she can more easily find and assist them without having to go about searching for people who are visibly in distress, allowing her to rake in magical candies far quicker than the other magical girls.
* IdealHero: Most magical girls consider Snow White as this, [[DeconstructedCharacterArchetype though this is far from the truth.]]
* IconicOutfit: Snow White's outfit is this to La Pucelle. Thanks to drawing the exact outfit that she wears when they were kids, La Pucelle immediately clues in on who she really is.
* ItNeverGetsAnyEasier: Stated word for word in her POV from ''JOKERS'' when she contemplates the importance of maintaining hope while dealing with the pain that comes with the death of friends.

** [[spoiler:In later arcs, this is the explanation provided for why she chooses to keep everyone, including her cyber familiar, Fal, and her closest friend, Ripple, at arm's length. She's mortified by the possibility of others she cares for coming to harm because of her.]]
** [[spoiler:After Restart, it is revealed, through Fal, that Snow White installed hidden programs onto the personal mobile devices of all of her family, friends, acquaintances, and anyone else close to her that would allow her to pull them into Keek's former virtual pocket dimension at a moment's notice, should her magical girl opponents try to attack her through them.]]
* KnightInSourArmour: After the events of the first arc and especially by the end of ''QUEENS''. She'll fight to take down rogue magical girls and stand up for what's right; but she's well aware of her limitations and doesn't think herself a hero capable of accomplishing anything more than hopefully saving a few lives, before dying in the pursuit of her ideals. Until that day comes, however, the Magical Girl Hunter will hunt.
* LightIsGood: Her outfit is mostly white and light-ish colors, and she is called the "White Magical Girl" by pedestrians.
* MartialPacifist: [[spoiler:After the events of the first volume, she decides to train to be able to defend herself and bring justice to the rogue elements of the Land of Magic.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her real name, Koyuki Himekawa, has the kanji for "snow" and "princess", befitting her magical girl name.
* NewTransferStudent: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Black'' she transfers into the magical girl class. Since she is a celebrity, the students recognize her name.]]
* NiceGirl: A kind girl who wants to resolve conflicts without having to kill someone. Unfortunately, the magical girl system [[DeadlyGame does not work like this.]]
* NotSoStoic: While she remains fairly stoic and reserved over the course of ''JOKERS'', she does emote more when opening up to Princess Inferno.
** Fal knows better than anyone just how broken she is underneath, in spite of all her careful control over her emotions. While her face may seem the model mask of indifference, she cannot hide from him the rise in her heart-rate whenever she's faced with something that upsets her. And he's been around her for so long that he knows how much even subtle changes in her features speak volumes. And if she abandons the mask completely in a moment of vulnerability or anger? Then it's time to truly worry.
* PsychicRadar: Part of her ability is to be able to track where people in distress are, even when they are invisible.
* RageAgainstTheMentor: [[spoiler:After the events of the first arc, she became a student of Pythie Fredrica. Come a year later, she's hunting down any of Cranberry's supporters, Pythie included.]]

* SailorFuku: This is her outfit design in a nutshell.
* ShellShockedVeteran: [[spoiler:After the first arc.]]
* ShipTease: Quite a bit with La Pucelle. [[spoiler:Makes it hurt even more when he's killed.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She gives one to [[spoiler:the Game Master of the second book, Keek.]]
* ThouShaltNotKill: Even as the Magical Girl Hunter, she refuses to kill anyone so as to not go down a dark path.
* TookALevelInBadass: Oh boy. By the ''Restart'' arc, all the mental breakdown she endured in the first book is channeled to make her a ruthless fighter and a cunning strategist. She's effectively hunting down any rogue magical girls, earning her the nickname of "Magical Girl Hunter".
* TookALevelInCynic: After the events of the first arc and her new mentor Pythie Frederica turning out to be evil, she has difficulty trusting people, preferring to be a lone wolf. She's still devoted to saving people and hunting down bad guys, but she focuses on results over politeness. Fal keeps her from being too cynical though.
* TranquilFury: Having had more than enough of Fav's crap, she silently takes out her anger on the master terminal to try to break it while flatly responding to his thoughts. [[spoiler:Becomes her baseline emotional state when dealing with those she regards as truly heinous after ''Unmarked'']]
* WideEyedIdealist: At first, she is fully confident that magical girls are beings who fight for justice.

* BigNo: [[spoiler:Her reaction to Top Speed's death in the light novel is to emit a long and loud noise of denial.]]

* DefrostingIceQueen: She becomes more open after [[spoiler:Top Speed's death]]. This is perhaps shown best [[spoiler:in ''Limited'' when she genuinely tries to listen to others, and even laughs once in a while]].
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Ripple is the secondary protaganist during the first arc. Her thoughts and struggles get the second most amount of attention after Snow White, and she takes out more villains than any of the other heroes.

%%* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Throughout Limited to ACES, she's brainwashed to join Pythie's faction.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:After the events of the first arc, Ripple swore never to kill again. She made that promise and even chose to keep the scars of that incident as a permanent reminder. However, upon being freed from Pythie Frederica's brainwashing at the end of ''ACES'', she awakens to find the body of yet another innocent at her feet- dead by her hand- with her pacifist best friend staring in wide-eyed horror as the victim's grieving sister regards her with furious, vengeful intent. The shock of the incident makes Ripple flee from the scene.]]
* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: [[spoiler:Once she's revived after her battle with Swim Swim, Ripple becomes furious when she hears Fav mock Top Speed's death, and isn't fooled in the slightest when he tries to make excuses for it.]]

* NotSoStoic: As she becomes more aquainted and comfortable around Top Speed, Ripple opens up more to her mentor. This culminates in [[spoiler:Ripple breaking down crying when Top Speed is killed right in front of her]].

* TragicKeepsake: Ripple keeps [[spoiler:Top Speed's cape]] after stumbling upon her corpse.
* {{Tsundere}}: Top Speed calls Ripple a tsundere several times throughout the first arc. Ripple doesn't apprecate the term, but she does fit the archetype: outworldly bristly and easily annoyed until she develops trust and commraderie with you. This aspect of her character is lessened quite a bit after the events of the first arc.
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:She stabbed a seven-year-old girl while she was unconscious for killing her friends.]]

* AnyoneCanDie: Pfle survived the killing game she was introduced in, becoming a force for good as the series went on. [[spoiler:Her luck ultimately ran out when a brainwashed Shadow Gale kills her at the end of ''QUEENS''.]]

** [[spoiler:She has successfully done this to 102 other magical girls in her selection test, making them kill each other in order to protect herself and Shadow Gale.]]

* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:In the past, she and Shadow Gale were in a selection test of 104 magical girls, organized by Cranberry. Since only one could survive, Pfle made a deal with Cranberry that said that if Pfle could make the test interesting, Shadow Gale would survive with her. Pfle then proceeded to manipulate the other 102 girls into killing each other, saving Shadow Gale and her own life in the process.]]

* SurvivorGuilt: After the events of ''Limited'', [[spoiler:7753's wrecked with guilt that a coward like her survived while nearly all the Namiyama magical girls died despite knowing nothing of the Magical Kingdom]].
* TragicKeepsake: 7753 keeps [[spoiler:Ripple's scarf after believing her to be dead]].

%%* EvilMentor: To a fairly extensive number of people. This includes Tot Pop, Keek and [[spoiler: Snow White.]]
