History Characters / MyHime

* KickTheSonOfABitch: (anime) [[spoiler:The First District was entirely evil, and Nao's treatment of Natsuki fell well into DisproportionateRetribution.]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: He tells Nagi to inform a very pissed off Shizuru exactly where to find Natsuki's enemies, who are, in fact, his own loyal henchmen.

* QueerEstablishingMoment: It can be easy to forget, since [[ItWasHisSled Shizuru and Natsuki becoming an OfficialCouple]] is well known by fans, but there was actual ShipTease between Natsuki and Takeda, such as [[AccidentalPervert when he fell on her]] and her initial response was a LuminescentBlush. The first real indicator that she could be attracted to another girl was when she laid TheBigDamnKiss on Shizuru in episode 25 as part of a CooldownHug.

* OneWomanArmy: Shizuru utterly slaughters District One. Mostly Off screen, though we get flashes of her, riding Kiyohime, standing over a pile of corpses of MenInBlack.

* BadassNormal: She's not a [=HiME=] (in the anime version), but once stood up to a group of fully-armed soldiers without flinching, including a ''tank''!
** While impressive, her status as a BadassNormal in the anime is most fully confirmed by a later incident. [[spoiler: It is pretty clear that the death of a [=HiME=]'s most important person is 'not' painless. Even tough guy Yuuichi collapses in helpless agony. [[DyingMomentOfAwesome But Haruka stays standing, walks through the pain, and delivers a final blow to her killer and a last smile to Yukino.]]]]

* BeautifulDreamer: In a later episode, Natsuki falls asleep at Shizuru's desk in the Student Council Room. Shizuru finds her asleep, and calls her name softly, before running her fingers through Natsuki's hair. By the time Natsuki wakes, Shizuru is by the window. [[http://clemox2.free.fr/mai_hime/multimedia/wallpapers/groupe_31_1024.jpg There's also a piece of promo art that shows Shizuru fawning over a sleeping Natsuki.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: She has among biggest bust sizes in the series and is the most physical fighter who often uses her fists.

* BoobsOfSteel: She's only slightly smaller than Mai and Haruka in bust measurement, and she's quite the physical fighter.

* BoobsOfSteel: She's got assets (she's actually slightly bigger than Mai, who lists as 87 in bust measurement, while Haruka is listed at 88), and can kick ass with the best of them if she gets angered. Her manga version takes it even further, as she has [=HiME=] powers and wields a massive morningstar.

* InSeriesNickname: Haruka calls Shizuru "the bubuzuke woman," using a term based off a [[{{Malaproper}} mispronunciation]] of a word for tea and rice, as a reference to Shizuru's tea hobby. Technically - and ironically - it's not a mispronunciation (Haruka simply uses the word, not knowing what it means); it's actually a variant word used by those from [[KansaiRegionalAccent the Kansai region]].
* KansaiRegionalAccent: Shizuru lives in the Kyoto region, and speaks with a "Kyoto-ben" accent. The English dub gives her a slight "SouthernBelle" accent.

* QueerEstablishingMoment: It can be easy to forget, since [[ItWasHisSled Shizuru and Natsuki becoming an OfficialCouple]] is well known by fans, but there was actual ShipTease between Natsuki and Takeda, such as [[AccidentalPervert when he fell on her]] and her initial response was a LuminescentBlush. The first real indicator that she could be attracted to another girl was when she laid a BigDamnKiss on Shizuru in episode 25 as part of a CooldownHug.

* BoobsOfSteel: She has among biggest bust sizes in the series (often being played as GagBoobs) and is the most physical fighter who often uses her fists.

* GagBoobs: She frequently gets [[MarshmallowHell someone's face stuck in her cleavage]], [[ThanksForTheMammary someone's hand stuck in her cleavage]], [[MaleGaze someone staring at her cleavage]], or otherwise gives someone [[IncrediblyLamePun a mammary to cherish]].

* MsFanservice: Her GagBoobs are often played as much for fanservice as comedy.

* ACupAngst: Mostly AllThereInTheManual, but the [[ModelSheet Bust Size Chart]] and [[https://iili.io/bJJ667.jpg a piece of promotional art]] show Natsuki being very unhappy being compared to Mai.

%%* LoveYouAndEverybody

* LoveYouAndEverybody: She uses the term "suki" quite liberally, applying it to virtually all of her friends and tying ribbons for them, a practice for people one is ''in love with''.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Mikoto [[LoveYouAndEverybody loves all of her friends]] in a general platonic sense...though her actions toward Mai [[LesYay suggest differently]].

* BuxomIsBetter: Mikoto has a very obvious thing for her "melons."

* BrokenPedestal: Natsuki lost her mother at the age of 8, and spent the next few years training and investigating, trying to learn who had her mother killed and why. Well into the [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne [=HiME=] Carnival]], Natsuki meets with a representative to one of the two {{Illuminati}} groups trying to control the situation, John Smith. Smith tells her that her mother had sold out her employers at the other group, District One, and had even taken money to sell Natsuki to the Searrs Foundation. Natsuki is driven to a HeroicBSOD afterwards, suffering a PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage, the memory of her loving mother shattered. Natsuki's contact in District One, Sakomizu, who also worked with Saeko Kuga, tells Natsuki he believes that her mother made an error in judgment trying to protect her, not out of greed or avarice. Natsuki, after regaining her powers, says she'll believe in the mother in her heart.

%%* DeathByOriginStory (anime)

%%* KilledMidSentence: (anime)

* BlamingTheVictim: On the receiving end. Even though Yukino clearly said that [[AmbiguousSituation whatever]] Shizuru did to Natsuki, she did [[DudeShesLikeInAComa while Natsuki was sleeping off her injuries]], Haruka declares that Natsuki is "filthy" for it. Shizuru comes to Natsuki's defense, slapping Haruka and saying "what happened was something that ''I'' did to ''her'' I will not allow you to insult Natsuki."

* AnAxeToGrind: Her Element is a stylized Greek labrys.

%%* {{Gainaxing}}

* CelibateHero: Natsuki tells Mai in episode 9 that until she has avenged her Mother's death, she has no interest in romance or relationships. Ultimately averted, as she comes to realize that Shizuru is her most Important Person, and uses a BigDamnKiss to snap her out of her psychotic state.
