History Characters / MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack

* CloserToEarth: Literally, as she's an Earth-based Newtype guru who believes that becoming a Newtype is a spiritual matter rather than an evolutionary one. This specifically invokes the WomenAreWiser undertrope, as her methods produce a Newtype from Earth, something Char believes to be impossible.

** Averted in ''Beltorchika's Children'', where he goes through a lot more close calls than in the movie - Char and Quess in particular coming ''very'' close to killing him in combat at times before something intervened.

* EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: Amuro may love humanity... but he ''hates'' Char, and will go to nearly any length to finally take him down. Char knows this... and still can't deal with the consequences once he provokes it. Amuro probably expected that Char still ''hates'' '''him''' just at much, and wouldn't hold anything back either.

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:Dies trying to stop Chan from deploying when the section of the ship he's in is blown up.]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: A small one in ''Beyond the Time'' when she is accosted by Loren Nakamoto, a former SmugSnake MadScientist in ''Zeta Gundam'' who apparently hit very hard times after his former employers the Titans were disbanded. He desperately begs her for a job, saying she wouldn't be where she is today if not for his work, but she completely ignores him and Neo Zeon soldiers block him from following.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: According to Tomino, he wrote Quess in large part as a response to the heroines of Creator/HayaoMiyazaki, whom he saw as overly idealized. Hence, Quess is meant to be his take on a girl in her early teens thrown into an incredibly difficult situation without much support: that is to say, an unstable brat who who has little understanding of her actions and is easily manipulated by adults who give her attention. A particular aspect of this is in her romances: Miyazaki heroines regularly form relationships with men, but they are always chaste and bordering on platonic in their treatment, while Quess is clearly grappling with the onset of puberty and several of her relationships have a sexual edge [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior (one always depicted as creepy)]].

* ChineseGirl: In a series with exotic names, Chan's name is about as Chinese as it gets.

* {{Irony}}: This could be intentional or not, but knowing how implacable Amuro was against his enemies in battle, (we can count on one hand the people that didn't die confronting him...) we can find it 'funny' that Amuro seems to try to disable non-lethally the very last enemy pilot he fought in his story besides Char, by just slashing their left arm and taking the rifle from them. Sadly that pilot was immediately destroyed by a shot from Char.

* TheChick: Played with, as she is the only female in Londo Bell we see who isn't a pilot, but not only do they have Kayra who ''is'' a female pilot, but Chan refuses to be sidelined, first smartly manning the Ra Cailum's anti-aircraft guns to [[spoiler:shoot down Rezin]] and then not-so-smartly climbing in a Jegan under the bizarre logic that "Amuro needs more psycoframes!"

* LightningBruiser: The Nu Gundam. As tough as anything else Amuro's ever piloted, with more weapons than is reasonable and still the fastest thing in the stars. Taken UpToEleven with its final [[AdaptationalBadass Hi-Nu Gundam form in the novel]].

* NiceHat: Continues the proud ''Gundam'' tradition of background officers who love their caps.

* {{Expy}}: Though meant as a stand-in for Beltorchika Irma, after Tomino wasn't allowed to use her, she actually has far more in common with Sayla Mass, being a calm, collected ActionGirl who starts a relationship with with Amuro after a period of being JustFriends.

* {{Meganekko}}: Her younger version is one of these in ''Char's Deleted Affair''.
