History Characters / RedAlert3Paradox

* {{Expy}}: Of [[FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] and Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer.

--> '''Yuriko:''' "[[GenreSavvy You know]] [[TheStarscream I would not hesitate to turn on you]] [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority if you showed any signs of weakness]]. [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Why do you let me stay?]]"

* {{Expy}}: [[Franchise/GhostInTheShell Motoko Kusanagi]] and [[SprawlTrilogy Molly Millions]].

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Her "true" story [[spoiler: had her be a WomanScorned by a Hollywood movie star (THE JamesDean, [[AlternateHistory at least in this timeline]]), and asked for her "reconstruction" so she could murder him]]

* AceCustom: His (And any other [[UnitVeterancy Heroic Achilles]] have SplashDamage added onto their already powerful Spectrum guns.

* CoolPlane: The Achilles Superiority Fighter, literally a fusion-rocket powered Avro Arrow with laser guns, 4 of them.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: It's implied that she's only loyal to [[NonEntityGeneral Emperor Kamina]] post-World War III, especially since she was confirmed to have [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge annihilated the entire Shiro Sanitarium complex on her mission to kill Dr. Shinji Shimada]] prior to meeting him, partially due to this trope, as indicated by this exchange featured on her character page:

* BroughtDownToBadass: After WWIII, the mental strain on Yuriko left her unable to pull aircraft out of the skies. Double-Subverted in that her pent-up rage makes her [[MakeMeWannaShout Psionic Scream]] even more powerful than during WWIII, to the point that she can [[UpToEleven kill the crewmen inside of vehicles within her radius]], and training with the new Battle Psychics of the Paradox timeline allows Yuriko to [[AllOfYourPowersCombined use their powers on the battlefield]], such as [[KiAttacks shooting infantry and helicopters with "psychic darts"]], [[PsychicLink and powering up other Battle Psychics when in their prescence]].

* DarkActionGirl: Apart from being the Commando of the Empire of the Rising Sun, the events of Yuriko's Campaign in Red Alert 3: Uprising ARE Canon ([[FanonDiscontinuity even after the other campaigns and units from Uprising aren't considered canon in Red Alert 3: Paradox]], [[TakeThatScrappy with all the extra units from that game having extensive reasons provided in their lore as to why they were written off as "failures" and thus won't return in Paradox]]), from [[GreatEscape breaking out of Camp Dakota, an Allied prisoner camp in Guam]], to going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge in the Shiro Sanitarium, [[PersonOfMassDestruction leveling the entire complex]] and killing both Dr. Shinji Shimada and [[spoiler: [[CainAndAbel Izumi]], [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder after she tried to kill Yuriko]] [[UngratefulBastard out of spite for Yuriko's power]]]].

* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: President Action.

* CoolBigSis: When asked on where she gets her ImprobableAimingSkills, Dixie mentions that she got them from her sister. [[SiblingRivalry She's quick to change the subject after mentioning this though...]]

* WingedHumanoid: Subverted. Only her armour has wings.

* DodgeTheBullet

* HavingABlast: Takes Kenshiro's abilities to their logical conclusion by causing people to explode with lethal force.

* PervertRevengeMode: She hospitalized a [[RedShirt Conscript]] [[AllMenArePerverts who was peeping on her when she was changing clothes]]: When said Conscript was asked [[WasItReallyWorthIt if it was worth it]], he replied with "''[[TotallyWorthIt Absolutely!]]''"

* SailorFuku: Changes to a blue and white version in Paradox compared to the more modern variation used in the original Red Alert 3. This leads to an InUniverse [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation discussion of why she has changed uniforms]], with the Soviets thinking [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman the new uniform is meant to further enhance Yuriko's psychic powers]], while the Imperials [[UnlimitedWardrobe thinks she just got the new uniform on a girlish whim]] (in either case, [[AllMenArePerverts both sides agree it was]] TotallyWorthIt]]).

* [[SmartPeoplePlayChess Smart People Play Formation]]: In this alternate timeline, [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Josef Stalin]] [[CulturePolice banned Chess]] ([[EvilIsPetty Stalin gave no reason for this]], although the Soviet PropagandaMachine justified the move by [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic claiming the game had themes of monarchism, with expendable "pawns" being sacrificed to defend members of the royalty, nobility and clergy]]), and replaced it with [[FictionalSport Formation]] [[MillionMookMarch which was inspired by the marching formations of parades in Red Square]]. Cima was [[SignificantBirthDate born on the exact same day Stalin banned Chess]], [[{{Irony}} and she got noticed by the Soviet Army for her skills in Formation]] during the 1945 Youth Formation Championship, where [[ChildProdigy Davidova (barely only 9 at the time) cleaned house against her other competitors, and even beat Mikhail Botvinnik, the then-reigning champion of Formation]]
* SweetTooth: She has a habit of [[GirlsLoveChocolate eating chocolate]], which she picked up while on station in Heidelberg. It's even created a new variation of RussianHumour, where Soviet citizens joke that the weekly chocolate ration is directly related to how much stress the Premier has had at the office.

* AGodAmINot: Everyone who does not fear her (mainly Emperor Kamina and his staff) thinks [[AGodAmI she should take the role of a goddess]] ([[WarGod of war no less]]) but Yuriko [[IJustWantToBeNormal only laments her powers]]. Considering [[DarkAndTroubledPast her tragic back story filled with constant abuse]], this is understandable.

* CombatPragmatist: From an early age, Kamina relied on this trope, in both his personal fighting style and his tactical leadership. His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him accidentally tripping a bigger kid trying to bully him, and realizing that [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown Kicking Him While His Was Down]] [[HonorBeforeReason would not be considered honorable...]] [[TryToCatchMeFightingDirty and then kicking the bully in the ribs repeatedly before stomping on his hand, leaving him with six broken bones]]. This was because Kamina realized "[[HonorBeforeReason honor was meant to protect the bullies from the bullied]]. [[BullyHunter If you didn't want to be bullied]], [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill you had to defeat them completely]], [[TheUnfettered and let nothing stand in your way]]."

* EnemyMine: At first Subverted: Unlike in Red Alert 3, the Red Alert 3 Paradox timeline has Cherdenko refuse to ally with the, well, Allies against the Empire of the Rising Sun, meaning the missions where the NonEntityGeneral for the Allies teams up with Soviet Commanders against Imperial forces never happen in this game. However, this later gets DoubleSubverted when Alex Manning teams up with Cima Len Davidova (who was the NonEntityGeneral [[{{Irony}} in the SOVIET'S Red Alert 3 campaign]]) to help her depose of [[BigBad Premier Cherdenko]] during the Second Battle of Leningrad.

* FourStarBadass: Not just as a commander: when Warren Fuller was captured by the Soviet Army when they managed to overrun his base, [[GreatEscape he breaks himself out before returning to the Allied front]], [[WrestlerInAllOfUs using his wrestling training to kill Soviet patrols completely unarmed]], and stopped [[PresidentEvil President Ackerman]] from escaping [[MoreDakka by shooting his limo and CIA bodyguards up with a machinegun]] [[BoomHeadshot before shooting Ackerman in the head]]. Even after [[HeroicBSOD Warren had an emotional breakdown]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone over how he had to kill the President]], [[PutOnABus and was put on leave by the Allies to recuperate]], [[TheDreaded the Confederates don't dare go near him out of fear of his fighting ability]].
* HeroicBSOD[=/=]MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Killing [[PresidentEvil President Ackerman]] in this timeline caused this reaction for him, as "[[DirtyBusiness -he had to destroy one symbol of freedom to preserve another]]". [[PutOnABus The Allies currently have him on indefinite leave]] [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan so he could eventually regain his senses]].
* NonEntityGeneral: Was heavily implied to be this during ''[[CommandAndConquerRedAlert2 Red Alert 2]]'', as Premier Cherdenko ordered the KGB to not just assassinate his rivals in the Soviet Union, but also Warren Fuller and his intelligence officer Eva Lee (along with other RA2 Allied characters, including [[MissionControl General Benjamin Carville]], [[ActionGirl Tanya Adams]], and [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President Michael Dugan]] ([[ForWantOfANail except since Michael Dugan was only a Senator in the Red Alert 3 timeline]], [[HilarityEnsues this completely confused the Allies]]).

* ContinuityNod: [[PutOnABus His official reason for not returning is that]] [[CompromisingMemoirs he intends to take a break to write his memoirs]]. This is probably a nod to when he mentioned [[IShouldWriteABookAboutThis wanting to write a book about his experience with the Allied Commander at the end of RA3's "The Great Bear Trap" mission]].

* AxCrazy: Committed into an insane asylum for attempting to make a garden with statues made of cryo-frozen enemies and civilians. Before then, she was reportedly being a MoodSwinger with a HairTriggerTemper, with the Allied command overlooking these "minor problems" as not worth benching one of their best field commanders.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: {{Inverted}}: She is an [[{{Omniglot}} an expert at nearly every language]], and one of her traits is to not just speak the language of whoever she's talking to, but give a near-perfect imitation of their accent: in [[NonEntityGeneral Alex Manning's case]], [[CanadaEh who is Canadian]], that meant she talked to Alex "exclusively in her Canadian-accented English instead of her "real" French".

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Said to have killed a Soviet war bear trained specifically to kill him "with a combat knife and a well-timed diving knee drop". And if that's not awesome enough, he became a living nightmare for the Vietcong and the NVA after WWIII ended, and was described as "a giant who cannot be harmed by mortal men".

* BareYourMidriff
* GunsAkimbo

* NonEntityGeneral: In the original game. Although the Soviet Union's victory achieved in the end of the RA3 Soviet campaign obviously never happened in the Red Alert 3 Paradox timeline ([[InvadedStatesOfAmerica the Battle of New York still happens]], but Davidova was not present during the battle, and [[BusCrash Nikolai Moskvin]] [[LudicrousGibs got blown to smithereens during the battle by]] [[ActionGirl Tanya Adams]]), Davidova did undertake missions in the opening half of the Soviet Union's campaign, such as routing the Imperial Japanese during the First Battle of Leningrad, and assassinating Emperor Yoshiro in the "Mount Fuji Incident".
* ReassignedToAntarctica: She was held up as TheScapegoat after the events of Red Alert 1, being blamed for lost battles in Poland she never even participated in (to which General Nikolai Krukov responded with "[[AppealToObscurity Precisely!]]"), and got "KickedUpstairs" to Leningrad. [[ReassignmentBackfire However, when the Empire of the Rising Sun besieged the city, Davidova rallied the defenders to route the Imperials, getting hailed again as a true hero of the Soviet Union, and pushed on to driving the Imperial Japanese out of Russia, and grinding the Allied offensive in Germany to a halt]].
* [[SmartPeoplePlayChess Smart People Play Formation]]: In this alternate timeline, [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Josef Stalin]] [[CulturePolice banned Chess]] ([[EvilIsPetty Stalin gave no reason for this]], although the Soviet PropagandaMachine justified the move by [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic claiming the game had themes of monarchism, with expendable "pawns" being sacrificed to defend members of the royalty, nobility and clergy]]), and replaced it with [[FictionalSport Formation]] [[MillionMookMarch which was inspired by the marching formations of parades in Red Square]]. Cima was [[SignificantBirthDate born on the exact same day Stalin banned Chess]], [[{{Irony}} and she got noticed by the Soviet Army for her skills in Formation]] during the 1945 Youth Formation Championship, where [[ChildGenius Davidova (barely only 9 at the time) cleaned house against her other competitors, and even beat Mikhail Botvinnik, the then-reigning champion of Formation]]

* ActionGirl

* BareYourMidriff
* ColdSniper

* OneHitPolykill

* TheEmperor

* AGodAmI: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Everyone who does not fear her (mainly Emperor Kamina and staff) thinks she should take the role of a goddess (of war no less) but Yuriko only laments her powers. Considering her tragic back story filled with constant abuse, this is understandable.

* CuteAndPsycho
* DarkActionGirl

* PsychicPowers: Her MO. Can crush house-sized tanks into tin cans this way.

* SailorFuku

* [[FourStarBadass Five Star Badass]]

* FourStarBadass

* AcePilot:

* DuctTapeForEverything: Managed to fix up his ''Rocket Fighter'' while in ''low orbit'' enough to land after being ambushed.

* NonEntityGeneral: In the original game.
* [[SmartPeoplePlayChess Smart People Play Formation]]

* SweetTooth: She has a habit of eating chocolate, which she picked up while on station in Heidelberg. It's even created a new variation of RussianHumour, where Soviet citizens joke that the weekly chocolate ration is directly related to how much stress she's had at the office.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Her "true" story [[spoiler: had her be a WomanScorned by a Hollywood movie star (THE JamesDean, [[AlternateHistorian at least in this timeline]]), and asked for her "reconstruction" so she could murder him]]

* EvilCounterpart: Is this to [[StreetSamurai Minerva]], which is emphasized [[NoodleIncident in a mission where]] [[DressingAsTheEnemy Venus disguised herself as Minerva]], [[MirrorMatch only to bump into the REAL Minerva, leading to a bloody firefight]] [[KnowWhenToFoldEm until both of them withdrew from the fray]]. And if something makes ''[[DarkActionGirl Minerva]]'' [[AxCrazy look relatively sane]], [[EvilerThanThou you know you're dealing with something completely inhuman].

* DemotedToExtra: Just like in canon, he was responsible for green-lighting many [=FutureTech=] projects. Unlike in canon, they all ended up in failure, forcing him to resign. That's why he's a background character in ''Paradox'' and not the BigBad he was in ''The Uprising''.

* {{Badass}}: One of the most powerful of the AIs, he is the Protectorate's go-to guy for command of their infinite army.

* TheKnightsHospitallers: He's one of them.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: At one point she propels herself straight into space to [[Manga/Akira punch out a]] KillSat [[Manga/Akira that scorched her arm]].

* TheOmniglot: She has a quirk where she'd speak to a person in their native language and accent, and she does that to almost everyone she meets.

* TokenGoodTeammate: She is one of the the few high ranking members of the Soviet government that: (1) Isn't a total murderous JerkAss that suffers from ChronicBackstabbingDisorder; (2) Sincerely believe in the ideals of socialism and is work toward combating the hypocrisy and corruption within the system; (3) Genuinely work towards improving the standard of living for the common Soviet citizen.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Out of the all characters in ''Paradox'', she is the only offender of barefooting, at least judging by her concept art.

* HonorBeforeReason: Being programmed by the Empire of the Rising Sun, he has the same code of honor as them, and in early engagements he would try to keep as much of his [[RedShirtArmy robot army]] alive, much to the amusement of other AIs.

* AGodAmI: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Everyone who does not fear her (mainly Emperor Kamina and staff) thinks she should take the role of a goddess (of war no less) but Yuriko only lamments her powers. Considering her tragic back story filled with constant abuse, this is understandable.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: At one point she propels herself straight into space to punch out a KillSat that scorched her arm.

* CursedWithAwesome: She lamments her powers, mainly because everyone only wants her to fight against their enemies.
