History Characters / SuperDimensionFortressMacross

* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Depending on the lighting her hair can look either dark brown or red.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Strange, considering he's supposed to be American. On the other hand, he may just be heavily tanned.

* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Original incarnation-only (would later be retconned for the below)

** His actions regarding the resistance against moving a set of micronization machines into a military-protected facility are, however a subversion - despite him claiming the Zentraedi rebels wouldn't steal the device, [[TemptingFate exactly that happens]].

* PetTheDog: commends Captain Global for his speech in Paradise Lost albeit non-verbally

* TheDitz: Somewhat, it's mostly naivity bordering on painfully oblivious. If there's a wrong word to be said at any given time, you can bet Minmay will be the one to say it.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Movie version, where he gets all of one line.

* TheCameo: Going from one of the pivotal antagonists in the original series, to a OneSceneWonder in ''Do You Remember Love''. He's the Zentraedi who fights Roy and gets killed during Roy's HeroicSacrifice.

* BabiesEverAfter: It's later established that Max and Milia have [[ArcNumber seven]] daughters, taking the youngest, Mylene, along with them onboard the ''Anime/MacrossSeven''.

* UnskilledButStrong: After inheriting Roy's VF-1S, he becomes this in comparison to Max (who is WeakButSkilled instead). Downplayed on the Unskilled part since Hikaru is an AcePilot on his own right, it's just Max is better than him. However, Hikaru is now piloting a VF-1S, which is the best VF-1 variant spec-wise. Max never received the same variant in the TV anime.

* WeakButSkilled: He is this, in contrast to Hikaru (who becomes UnskilledButStrong after inheriting Roy's VF-1S). His VF-1J pales in comparison to Hikaru's inherited VF-1S spec-wise, but Max remains the best pilot in the entire show.

* TheAgeless crossing with ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: This applies to at least natural-bred Zentraedi (those who were born via genetic-engineering). Britai himself lived for many thousands of years and fought countless battles even before Protoculture met its demise. Bodolza himself was around even longer before meeting his end in SDF Macross. Though many Zentraedi tend to have significantly shorter lifespans than most humans due to locked in a ForeverWar and being a ProudWarriorRace.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: One of the few humans with a bizarre hair color, but it isn't commented on. It can often pass off as black, though.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: One of the few humans with abnormal hair colors.

* {{Meganekko}}[=/=]NerdGlasses: Vanessa Laird.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Konda has purple hair

* {{Megane}}: Constantly wears glasses, which clashes a bit with his reputation as the ultimate badass pilot.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In ''Robotech'', his name's romanized as Captain Glo'''v'''al, with a v.

* SpellMyNameWIthAnS: ''Robotech'' went with "Fokker" as an alternate [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseRomanization romanization]].

* SparedByTheAdaptation: In the original continuity, he, Minmay, and Misa are on board the SDF-2 Megaroad-01 when contact between it and U.N. Spacy gets cut off, and all passengers are presumed dead. In ''Robotech'', she went on to be an Admiral in the Robotech Defense Force, succeeded by her husband, and is confirmed to still be alive around the time of ''The Shadow Chronicles''.

* ThousandYardStare: in Episode 20 he gets hit by that Hard

* LadyOfWar: She has a highly refined persona while acting as a fleet commander

* TheMasochismTango: with Kamjin
* TogetherInDeath: this, too.
* {{Tsundere}}: again, with Kamjin

* AFatherToHisMen: He is shown to care deeply about the people under his command. The civilians are so grateful for his compassion for their safety that it alone has prevented them from causing riots and protest.

* LeeroyJenkins: This ends up getting him killed.

** The Mexican Spanish dub of the movie an just translates the term as [[{{Woolseyism}} calling him by his name]] ''Roy'' instead.
* DrowningMySorrows: Before he met Claudia. Reasons for this are revealed in ''Anime/MacrossZero'' [[spoiler: when his first lover, Iris, died in the conflict]].

* ProudWarriorRace: Actually rather a ''[[SubvertedTrope subversion]]'' of this trope; the Zentraedi and Meltrandi were created for endless war, but although some of them certainly are proud, it's a major plot point that they don't ''have'' any culture. The fight, not because they believe in honour and glory, but because ''it's literally all they know.'' In fact, they don't even know how to repair their equipment. As a result, while they all have individual personalities and quirks, as a collective race they're closer to [[Franchise/StarTrek the Borg than Klingons]].
