* EmpoweredBadassNormal: When she is at the entrance exam for the military academy, she's already good enough to score third place out of all the applicants, ''without enhancements of any kind.'' (Officially ranked second once her simulation pod is investigated) En route to Mars, her father's TragicKeepsake activates, injecting her with an army of body-enhancing nanites, making her far, far stronger and deadlier.

* HeroismAddict: The reason he absolutely hates anyone stealing his limelight is that he's all but addicted to all the "oohs" and "aahs" and ticker tape parades he gets as part of his "heroic" public image.

* DefrostingIceQueen: In her flashback, her first appearance has her catatonic and almost entirely unresponsive. When she's well enough to be out and about, Olga's dragging her around to chase butterflies and she openly smirks. On her seventh birthday party, when she's being presented the cake and blow out the candles, she's an adorably happy child, and she ''remains'' happy to be a member of the Perez house, loyal for life.

* KarmicDeath: His favorite pass-time was using his N2 nanites to cause people to explode and sucked up the nanites of all his subordinates in the final battle with Olga for a power-up, violently, causing them to pop like bloody balloons. When he assimilates all of Olga's N2 nanites for a power-up, she takes them all back, along with all the rest in his system, violently, watching him die, slowly, choking on his own blood. And letting him know that it's all his nasty deeds of which he boasts coming home to roost.

Added DiffLines:

* WrongAssumption: When he sees the Minister of Military Affairs arrive and hears the marching of imperial troops, he lights up, presuming they're there to help him contest/cover up the claims of his son's wrongdoing and smite the Perez house because Olga dared to defend herself and stand up to him. The Minister was actually there to deliver the emperor's decree to arrest Mofu Jr. and strip everything from Mofu Sr., save his life.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: When the Minister of Military Affairs tells him he's at the academy to arrest Mofu Jr. and strip Mofu Sr. of his holdings, Mofu Sr. first tries to protest that it's a "misunderstanding," getting a rifle-butt to the face for his insolence, and then when it finally dawns on him that the emperor '''doesn't''' have his back anymore, he curls up on the ground crying "you've got to be kidding, right? It's all a joke! IT HAS TO BE!"

Ill Girl has been cut per TRS decision. Examples are moved to Delicate And Sickly when appropriate.


* IllGirl: When she was a child, she had an unnamed fatal illness. Fortunately, it was in the early stages and Olga's mother took her in as "an experimental subject," officially adopting her, curing her, and making Olga her older sister.

* AssimilationBackfire: He meets his end in chapter 31 through arrogance and overconfidence. Not knowing how much control Olga has over the N2 nanites in her blood, he uses his authority over his nanites to call them back for a power-up. Then after a line of two of EvilGloating, about how she can no longer resist him, he throws a punch only to look on in horror as his body almost explodes and he collapses to the ground, choking on his own blood and dying ever so slowly.

! Academy Staff:

[[folder: Dean Dow Jove]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dean2.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Student Morphus, are you questioning the academy's authority?!]]
* TheAllegedBoss: He's the dean of the academy. Presumably, his word is law. Yet, when Mofu Jr., Mofu Sr., and Rhett Ely demand a duel to contest Olga's score, accusing her of cheating, he doesn't even utter a word of protest. He just nods and lets the students do what they want. It's only after the duel is over that he bothers to investigate the initial claims of Olga's supposed cheating and, at Olga's request, investigates claims of Mofu Jr. using drugs, using bloodwork on both Mofu Jr. and Olga, despite having clear video evidence from the duel itself where Mofu Jr. was openly doping.
* HeadInTheSandManagement: He and the rest of the staff turned a blind eye to student on student violence as long as there were no deaths.
* MildlyMilitary: This is supposedly a military academy. Yet the awards ceremony was just shy of unmitigated chaos as the students were all quite unruly and just saying whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted.

* EnfanteTerrible: And TeensAreMonsters. In the present, he's a third year while Olga is a freshman, and he began making rape threats against her when she was 8. That means he started brutalizing her when he was 10 and spent all his teenage years doing it.

* ExcaliburInTheRust: Turns out the beat-up bracelet he gave Olga in her coming-of-age party is actually the control device for the [Weaver] nanites that are far, far more advanced than anything else the New Roman Empire can field, even the stuff Emperor Ryan III previously confiscated from the Perez family and supposedly put in his personal vault under lock and key. When Corrie asks him about his behavior in private, he states that that bracelet was an heirloom that the family's been guarding from thieves and scoundrels upon pain of death for ''generations.''


Added DiffLines:

* TheUnapologetic: After the Torrus house is dealt with, he takes Olga home and throws a party with several nobles who were present ''actively cheering'' for the Torrus house, but shamelessly switched sides, and he gives Olga a list of photos of their sons and heirs like a deck of cards and says "pick your new fiancé". Resigned, Olga calls him drunk and walks off. It's only later, in private, that he explains to Corrie, not Olga, that this was a ploy to protect Olga and the nanotech bracelet his family has a sacred duty to protect, leaving her completely in the dark.

* HumiliationConga: Chapters 17-20 are all about Olga completely upstaging him. First, she steals his own EngineeredHeroics by having Corrie focus the cameras on her as she ''legitimately'' takes down the New Roman agents disguised as Martian soldiers, then when he shows up in frame makes him look like '''he's her sidekick''', she openly mocks him whenever he takes a shot at her and misses, passing it off as him being inept, and then makes it look like he's a coward when the real Martian army shows up and he calls for a retreat of everyone except Olga herself. Naturally, he completely loses it, and swears bloody vengeance.

* HumiliationConga: He really, really should have left Olga alone on the academy testing day. First, the pod he had Billy sabotage wasn't sabotaged enough to keep her from breaking out, and when Billy tried to "correct" that, Billy got tazed. Then he learns that Olga managed to get a score that rivals his ''in spite'' of the sabotage, so he retaliates by falsely accusing ''her'' of cheating, demands the pod be investigated, and demands a duel, presuming that Olga is as cowardly as her father and would balk, already proclaiming how he intends to "marry her." She shames him by '''agreeing''' to the duel, unafraid. He uses up all the points he's earned during his three year tenure and accumulated by resting on his laurels to buy himself the sweetest gear he could get, only to be outshone by Olga coming at him with little more than a fire-extinguisher, some rations she used to lure the very same dangerous beasts she was dumped in the middle of, and sheer grit. He starts doping to make up for his short-comings, only to have Olga snatch his drugs and then wail on him when the ones he'd already taken wore off. When he's completely lost the duel, Olga exposes his drug use both to quell any further allegations of her cheating, when she didn't, and to bring the wrath of the emperor down on House Torrus, and lastly, he's shipped off to prison, ''in a full body cast.''

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: She was an excellent mother to Olga and little Corrie, and they both mourn her death by disease that even she couldn't cure, and was way, way beyond empire tech to even try.
