* ImplausibleHairColor: Has hair in a shade of green that seems to be exclusive to unstable Newtypes in UC Gundam, as seen with Four Murasame, the similarly green-haired and similarly unstable Newtype of ''Zeta Gundam'', and the OriginalGeneration Cyber-Newtype Zero Murasame from the ''VideoGame/GihrensGreed'' games.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: His adaptational counterpart from ''Beltorchika's Children'' is able to deduce on his own that Char leaked the psycoframe technology and why.



* AdaptationalIntelligence: His ''Beltorchika's Children'' counterpart is both more intelligent and more likable, due to the entire "he kills [[spoiler:Chan]]" thing being cut along with [[spoiler:Chan]] herself.

Jegan, RGZ-91 Re-GZ



* AdaptationalBadass: Her ''Beltorchika's Children'' counterpart is a Newtype, if a low level one, as she is able to sense the pressure of Gyunei/Graves.
* AdaptationalDumbass: On the other hand, it's also made much more clear in ''Beltorchika's Children'' how much of a dumbass she is being when she charges out so far ahead. Apparently this is unusual behavior for her though, as it is stated that she never acted that way before being assigned to the Re-GZ.

A FallenHero who has become the leader of Neo-Zeon and driving force of their nuclear winter plans. See the ''Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack'' section on [[Characters/GundamCharAznable his character page]].page]] for more on him.



* AdaptationalSkimpiness: Her adaptational counterpart from ''Beltorchika's Children'' runs around the Rewloola and even ''goes into battle'' wearing nothing but panties. Even Gyunei's thirst has to take a backseat when he sees that.
--> '''Gyunei:''' Quess! You're on a military ship! You're fighting a war! ''[[PrecisionFStrike Why the hell are you dressed like that]]''?!



* FreudianExcuse: ''Beltorchika's Children'' makes her motives for joining Char less about just jumping his bones and more this, as she tells him she wants to "destroy the planet that gave birth to a woman who snatched away my father from my mother."



* AdaptationalBadass: His adaptational counterpart from ''Beltorchika's Children'' puts out enough pressure blowing up the Londo Bell nukes that Amuro senses it from the whole other end of the battlefield, initially mistaking it for Char before pronouncing its source as "a much greater enemy".



* AdaptationalNiceGuy: She's more friendly and sympathetic in ''Beyond the Time'' than she ever was in the movie.

to:

* AdaptationalJerkass: Her adaptational counterpart from ''Beltorchika's Children'' doesn't just stop at slapping Quess, but continues to lay into her with a ferocity that [[StateSec Titans officers]] would admire.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: She's Contrasting with the above case, she's more friendly and sympathetic in ''Beyond the Time'' than she ever was in the movie.

* MirrorCharacter: Amuro may have grown up and still be a NiceGuy under the brooding, but he still has his own issues. For example, his relationship with Chan is stated to be analogous to Char's with Nanai. Since they aren't lovers in the same way, nor is she mothering him, it means Amuro is using her affection for his own purposes (in his case, needing a girl to pilot for, like Frau in the original show or Beltochika in ''Zeta''), and doesn't really return quite the same feelings. Although Amuro doesn't manipulate people the way Char does, he's always tended to be somewhat neglectful and a bit distant in his relationships, also not fully engaging. They're {{Foil}}s because despite being an awkward, moody introvert, he can still be empathetic and will usually opt for being kind. Char, however, gives up all semblance of trying to overcome his own LackOfEmpathy and abuses his charisma to exploit those around him, not unlike Scirocco.

* GhostlyGoals: Lalah states that she is lingering on to watch over Amuro and Char. With that said, her ''actions'' cast her motives in [[UnreliableNarrator a more ambiguous light]], with the swan scene easily being interpreted as her intentionally driving Amuro and Char towards their final fight. If she was hoping the two of them would understand one another through battle, as she and Amuro did, she must have been mightily disappointed by the film's end.



* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's not made explicitly clear if the Lalah that is haunting Amuro's dreams in the story is actually her Newtype spirit, or simply a symptom of the [[ShellShockedVeteran PTSD]] Amuro is very likely still suffering from. Given that the Newtype Hathaway Noa goes on to experience very similar "dream visits" in ''Literature/MobileSuitGundamHathawaysFlash'' with his own Lost Lenore, this lends some support to the trope being more Magic than Mundane, though it must be stressed that ''Hathaway's Flash'' may not be in the same continuity as this story.

* ADayInTheLimelight: While Chan never gets to be portrated to Main Character status unlike other CCA limelight recipients such as Hathaway and Gyunei, she does have a more prominent role in ''[[VideoGame/GundamVsSeries Gundam Extreme Vs]]'', in which she is PromotedToPlayable (she's usually just an NPC character in games) and given unique dialogue with several characters, including (but not limited to) [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Full Frontal]], [[Creator/ToruFuruya Ribbons Almark]], and even her lover Amuro in his younger [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam MSG]] incarnation.



* 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 sideline, 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!"

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: She's not a Newtype, but she carries around a psycoframe sample which boosts her spatial awareness and reflexes a bit. This helps her shoot down [[spoiler:Rezin and Quess]], but since she doesn't see [[spoiler:Hathaway]] as an enemy, it provides no warning for his salvo which ultimately kills her.



* FlatCharacter: Due to being in the story only because of Executive Meddling, she has a paper-thin backstory and her life prior to joining Londo Bell is completely unknown.



* ReplacementFlatCharacter: As noted above, her backstory and character are both rather thin. While her predecessor Beltorchika shares her paper-thin backstory, she's much more colorful (if not exactly likable) in personality than Chan, whose personality basically amounts to "NiceGirl".



* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Of varying shades; it's usually darker in the movie than it is in her profile picture above, which comes from the ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriorsGundam'' games.



* EarlyBirdCameo: Had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'', in which he was five years younger and being menaced by Titans alongside his sister and mother.



* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: Completely loses it when Chan shoots down Quess and lashes out at Chan in grief, something he never would have done in his right mind.
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: To Quess. It ''almost'' works.

Added DiffLines:

* StartOfDarkness: The events of this film drive him to walk down a much darker path later in his life.
* TagalongKid: He's not actually a member of Londo Bell, but since his father is one of their officers they give him a little more leeway than the average civilian.


Added DiffLines:

* TheBigGuy: His actual height is unknown, but as seen in [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/5/52/Meran_CCA_2.jpg this screenshot]] he's taller than both Amuro and Bright.

Added DiffLines:

* TagalongKid: Played straight when she tags along with Londo Bell beside Hathaway, but subverted when she runs away with Char, who signs her up with Neo-Zeon under the alias "Quess Air".

* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was orphaned in a ColonyDrop as a child, which drove him to become a pilot. Ironically, he now helps Char drop colonies on the Earth.

Added DiffLines:

* DependingOnTheWriter: His relationship with Nanai is this. In the movie itself he seems fairly scornful of her, telling Quess she only has her position because of her relationship with Char. In ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriorsGundam 2'' this scorn becomes outright contempt, with Gyunei sneering that he doesn't have to listen to her because all she ever did was kiss Char's ass. But in ''Beyond the Time'' he is very respectful of Nanai, so much so that [[spoiler:even after his death his Newtype ghost addresses her as "Ma'am" as he asks her to make him stronger]]. It's worth noting that both examples of him being disrespectful to Nanai occurred after has post-Quess SanitySlippage.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: She's more friendly and sympathetic in ''Beyond the Time'' than she ever was in the movie.


Added DiffLines:

** She finally gets a sliver of CharacterDevelopment in the ''Beyond the Time'' manga, which explains her FantasticRacism against Newtypes. Turns out she approached Nanai about being enhanced herself, but Nanai turned her down, causing her to become hostile towards Nanai and the concept of Newtypes in general.

* ActionSurvivor: She doesn't ever pilot a Mobile Suit or participate in any battle but she does survive Char's ColonyDrop on Lhasa and is shown at the end alongside one of her followers witnessing the Axis Shock.
* AllThereInTheManual: Christina's Newtype philosophy is not explored at all in the movie itself, and what is known of it comes mainly from the novelization. Interestingly, it is specifically noted there that Christina's beliefs on Newtypes are similar to those of TheHero Amuro, himself an Earth-born Newtype.
* 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.

to:

* GranolaGirlGranolaGirl: Her and her friends all look like Woodstock refugees and apparently study Newtypism in lieu of getting real jobs.


Added DiffLines:

* SmallRoleBigImpact: She only appears in two scenes and gets a single line of dialogue, but her successfully training Quess to be a Newtype ''on Earth'' puts paid to Char's entire ideology that humans have to be forced off Earth and into space before they can become Newtypes.

* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Played with, as she tells Astonaige she loves him before her final sortie but he doesn't hear her clearly and of course she never gets to clarify.

* HostageSituation: Taken hostage by Neo-Zeon's Gyunei Guss, who tries exchanging her for the Nu Gundam.
* LeeroyJenkins: Charges too far ahead without support, and since she's not a OneManArmy like Amuro this ends in her RE-GZ being dismantled by Gyunei's Jagd Doga.

Added DiffLines:

* OutOfFocus: Unlike the more prominent Neo-Zeon characters above, she never gets any kind of character developing scene, nor is she even really around all that much on the battlefield. She gets 3, maybe 4 scenes tops in the whole movie, and they're all just her being surly and unpleasant in a Mobile Suit, or being surly and unpleasant out of her Mobile Suit.
