** Another instance involves her trying to get a DoorstopBaby left for the Army to raise back to his mother; her first strategy is to stroll into the poorer neighborhoods and simply start asking around about who the mother is, without regard for the fact that soldiers in official attire visiting them causes tension that would discourage people from sharing information, because of [[WrongSideOfTheTracks said neighborhoods being neglected by the State]] and having no laws enforced. In fact, when Oreld points out that most people subsist with illegal goods in these parts, her first reflex is to [[SkewedPriorities loudly inquire if they're committing crimes, despite their cooperation being required to get information about the aforementioned mother.]]

* TheIdealist: Her most defining trait, and the main reason she works at Section III. Despite the monumentality of the task she's given herself, and the sheer amount of cynicism she faces daily (since she mainly deals with people who are desperately attempting to survive in a [[CrapsackWorld crappy, devastated, post-war country with an economy in the dumps]]), she always sticks true to her principles, genuinely believes that the post-war efforts she's devoted her life to will help society, and has never allowed herself to become disillusioned from the state of the world around her and the army's corruption. See also NonIdleRich and RichKidTurnedSocialActivist below.

* RichKidTurnedSocialActivist: She comes from a prominent family of very wealthy nobles (and will not hesitate to use her background as an additional tool during her missions, for example by getting people fearful of the nobility hesitate to shoot her); but unlike her family members, she has chosen to devote herself fully to helping the people of her country after a devastating war, including by organizing food drives with her men, and helping villages rebuild railroads personally.

* :BodyHorror: [[spoilerHis fate if he ever takes off his pressure suit, as the flamethrowers of the 908 Altschmeidt Jäger troopers damage their users' bodies, which is only prevented from killing them by the fluid in their suits. He was forced to watch the other members of his unit ''literally fall apart'' from their horrible burns.]]

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoilerHans is eventually gunned down by Claymore One Operatives-- mere seconds after Oland was beginning to talk him down from his psychosis. Oland doesn't take this well at all, suffering a HeroicBSOD throughout the next episode.]]

* [[spoiler: TheSociopath]]: [[spoiler: Taylor hits four of the five points. He thinks nothing of harming and maiming others, manipulates both peasants and nobles to try and kill each other, caused a riot to keep himself entertained, and sees Alice as a prize to be broken and taken. It's implied that everything he's done in-series is because he wants to keep himself entertained.]]

* {{Megane}}

* DarkAndTroubledPast: The District Zero chapter notes this when Hunks meets with Connery of Section 1.

* Walking Spoiler: [[spoiler: About everything about him after he's revealed to be part of the Silver Wheel.]]

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Sure, he's an unhinged sociopath, but it's very hard not to feel sorry for him after all he's been through. Especially when you realize he's only ''nineteen''.

* BadassGrandpa

* TeamDad

* BadassAdorable: His clueless antiques makes him rather amusing around rather than someone you'd keep facepalming yourself for.

* BadassDriver

* {{Pettanko}}

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: [[DelReyManga Del Rey]] has used both Martis and Machs in the manga, and Creator/FUNimation went with Martis. But both are wrong; the official romanization used by Iwanaga is Marchs.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: In-universe: The last good memory Hans has of his unit [[spoiler: before the horrifying MoodWhiplash]] is being subject to their good-natured ribbing about his inexperience with women.

* HandCannon: He wields one with fantastic skill. A hand cannon designed to take out tanks-the full-size rifle can dislocate your shoulder.

* [[spoiler:BodyHorror: His fate if he ever takes off his pressure suit, as the flamethrowers of the 908 Altschmeidt Jäger troopers damage their users' bodies, which is only prevented from killing them by the fluid in their suits.]]

* [[spoiler:HeelFaceDoorSlam: Just as Oland begins to get through to him through their similar experience in the Invisible 9 project, Hans is gunned down by Claymore One operatives.]]

* CoolHelmet: Vaguely reminiscent of the [[Franchise/{{Bioshock}} Big Daddy]] helmet, and even periodically exudes gouts of vapor.
