History Characters / MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercuryBeneritGroup

* DressedInLayers: Prospera can wear her "mask" under a spacesuit like other {{Char Clone}}s, even though hers is a helmet that wraps all the way around her head.

* CharClone: While Lady Prospera wears a mask to hide her identity (while supposedly covering up an injury), is related to the main character, and has the death of her family as part of her backstory, she is no longer a mobile suit pilot nor TheRival to TheHeroine. In fact, she supports Suletta, even while manipulating her for revenge. The more favorable comparison is to Char as [[LaResistance AEUG]] member [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro Bajeena]] or [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans McGillis "Montag" Fareed]]. The ''less'' favorable view is that she embodies Char's habit, especially in ''Char's Counterattack'', of [[ManipulativeBastard using and abusing those around him]], and her primary target [[PerspectiveFlip just happens to be the protagonist]]. [[spoiler:Prospera's love for the disembodied Eri even parallels Char's long-term grieving over Lalah Sune.]]

* CoolMask: As befitting the local CharClone, she wears a mask to conceal her identity. [[spoiler:The mask also serves a practical function of allowing Prospera to "talk" with her daughter Ericht once the latter reaches Permet Score 8, as it has the same shell units that Gundams do]].

** In Japanese, "suisei" can mean either "Mercury" or [[CharClone "Comet"]].

* VolcanicVeins:[[spoiler: When Eri tries to save Quiet Zero, it's shown that she does in fact have Permet Link marks on her face. Unlike every other user of the GUND Format, it only appears on one side of her face, and is vaguely hand shaped, compared to the neat, symmetrical circuit diagram style markings of other pilots]].

* TakingTheHeat: [[spoiler:Much like how Shaddiq voluntarily agreed to take all the responsibility for the activities he instigated with Dawn of Fold, Sarius explitly tells Miorine to throw both him and Grassley Defense Systems under the bus to try and redeem the Group's reputation following the attacks at Quinharbor and Asticassia. Miorine refuses, stating that she refuses to allow any more sacrifices]].

* AbusiveParents: As the chairman of the Asticassia School of Technology, he deliberately set things up so that his daughter's hand in marriage and, by extension, his daughter herself would be treated as a prize. He knows that she hates the idea, but doesn't care. Even when given a reason to change this, he decides to choose a suitor himself and get Miorine out of the school, regardless of what she wants. When she comes to meet him, he tries to deny her the chance to even pledge her own case by pointing out she has no political position on her own until she forces him into a duel. He also doesn't even seem to care about her well-being. The school security staff, who are his employees, do absolutely nothing when Guel is abusing his daughter, a clear sign that nobody thinks he cares enough about her to intervene, which is true because he outright states meeting the people who are supposed to be his daughter's bodyguards is a waste of his time.

A corporation specializing in the development of heavily armored mobile suits.

* KarmaHoudini: Even though [[spoiler:her revenge plot and plan to use Quiet Zero fails, Prospera manages to escape to Earth to live out the rest of her life in quiet retirement with her family, despite the fact that she is essentially a war criminal who is at the very least directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of hundreds or even thousands of innocent people.]]

* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: The cover story for her bulky, face-concealing visor is that it's a prosthetic just like her arm, but this is a lie. [[spoiler:Its ''real'' purpose is to allow her to communicate remotely with Aerial, after she hits Permet Score 8. The black "eyepieces" are actually something like a Gundam's shell units, lighting up with TronLines when Aerial interacts with her.]]

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Prospera is alarmingly good at tearing down the moral high ground anyone else thinks they have over her by pointing out how their hands are just as stained as hers. [[spoiler:She's done this twice to Belmeria about her involvement in the Enhaced Person project (the first being a pointed question, the second a full-on lecture), and twice to Miorine as well -- first by asking Miorine if she intends to free Suletta from Prospera's control just to put Suletta under her own, then later making Miorine feel guilty for something that happened before Miorine was even born]].

** Likewise, [[spoiler: Prospera loses her composure when Eri jumps at the opportunity to defend Quiet Zero from the Space Assembly League's orbital laser, calling out to her to stop in a panic. When Eri successfully deflects the blast at the (seeming) cost of her life, Prospera can only [[SayMyName scream her daughter's name]] in horror.]]

* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Miorine completely overturning their plans to expose Aerial as a Gundam]] doesn't really faze them, and even gets them interested at where this curveball will go. [[spoiler:Averted in Episode 24 when Miorine foils their plan to seize control of the Benerit Group by announcing the conglomerate’s dissolution and liquidation of all assets, with Nevola angrily cursing Miorine’s name in the process.]]

[[spoiler:Averted in Episode 24 when Miorine foils their plan to seize control of the Benerit Group by announcing the conglomerate’s dissolution and liquidation of all assets, causing Nugen to angrily curse her name.]]

* {{Bishonen}}: The Elan we first met got his looks to mimic his, after all.

->'''Mobile Suit Models:''' XVX-016 Gundam Aerial (Rebuild)

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the Prologue, Elnora displays a reckless disregard for her own safety and well-being, requiring Cardo Nabo to reel her in by telling her that their successes in testing won't mean much if they destroy her body. Following Cardo's death, Prospera throws herself into her plots for revenge [[spoiler:and saving Ericht, and exposure to Permet and data storms over the ensuing decades ultimately results in her losing the use of her legs]].

* SenpaiKohai: Addresses Prospera as her senpai when meeting her during and after Elan's duel with Guel.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the Prologue, Elnora displays a reckless disregard for her own safety and well-being, requiring Cardo Nabo to reel her in, admonishing her that their successes in testing wouldn't mean much if it leaves her crippled. [[spoiler:Following Cardo's death, Prospera throws herself into her plots for revenge and saving Ericht, and exposure to Permet and data storms over the ensuing decades ultimately results in her losing the use of her legs]].

A corporation specializing in the development of fast and agile mobile suits.

* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:After taking a chunk of shrapnel to the side protecting his daughter, he goes into a coma for the majority of the second season, with Rajan and later Miorine taking over running the Benerit Group. He eventually wakes up in Episode 22, but is unable to talk. Though in Episode 23, he manages to recover his ability to talk as he negotiates with the SAL fleet.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: The series starts with him ordering his men to infiltrate Fólkvangr and massacre everyone inside to shut down their research and gain power, [[spoiler: 21 years later he is on the ''receiving'' end of this when a terrorist group from the planet he screwed over attempts to assassinate him on order from another company, leaving him mortally wounded.]]
