friend. When Red takes the Transistor away from the Camarata, they lose control of the Process and cause it to spread out of control. Not that she had any way of knowing this until it was far too late.]]
* RummageSaleReject: Red wears a motorcycle jacket over a (messily) shortened cocktail dress.
* SuperSpeed: When executing the plan, Red will enter this state. After that the planning mode will enter a cooldown which disables most of her skills (except Jaunt).
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: The quote under BadassBoast? The thing in question was making the Transistor lose his mind. She was not happy with this, and she was not speaking metaphorically.
* WaifFu: She who uses a sword nearly as tall as her to beat up Mooks of varying levels of hugeness (including one who is as tall as a small building).
* ZettaiRyouiki: She used to be wearing a cocktail dress. Once she decided she was going into action, though, she gave it a trim, turning it into a Type A skirt.



More accurately, the man inside it. A very (''very'') close friend of Red who was killed with the Transistor, his soul now inhabits the sword



* NoNameGiven

to:

* NoNameGiven{{BFS}}: A few inches away from being bigger than the girl who carries him around.
* LivingWeapon: [[SoulJar In a sense]]. It can communicate with [[WasOnceAMan those who have been]] [[TheUnintelligible processed]] and integrate them into itself, gaining new abilities. The dominant personality seems to be Red's friend, though it's suggested she only hears him and not anyone else in the Transistor because she knows him.
* MissionControlIsOffItsMeds: Whenever [[spoiler: the Spine]] shows up it starts affecting the Transistor and making him act drunk and delirious, losing his memories in the process.
* TheNicknamer: The Transistor seems to be a subtle example. New enemy types are just referred to as "Process" until he names them, and a couple of them just get named when he insults them ("Creep" and "Jerk".) When he's being driven to delirium by [[spoiler: The Spine]] he even ends up lazily naming a new enemy type "Man".
* NoNameGiven: He deliberately refused to enter any of his information into Cloudbank's database. Advancing his information profile is an exercise in finding more elaborate ways to say 'no data available.'
* RealityWarper: Essentially the purpose of the Transistor... in as much as how 'real' the place you are in is.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The Camarata's plans were going off without a hitch until he [[TakingTheBullet jumped in front of the Transistor]] to save Red.
* TakingTheBullet: Red's friend saves her from the Transistor before the start of the game, getting hit with it and processed instead of her.


Added DiffLines:

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Sybil. [[spoiler: At least, according to the Transistor. When the player finally meets her, she's been Processed and is a little... loopy.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ParasolOfPain: Her post-Processing weapon of choice.


Added DiffLines:

* [[spoiler: PosthumousCharacter: Though the time of death listed is fairly recent, Red never gets to meet him alive after the assassination attempt, while Asher at least has an online conversation with Red before following him.]]
