History Characters / UminekoWhenTheyCry1986Humans

* BringMyRedJacket: Flip this one and WhiteShirtOfDeath around, and you've got Battler's outfit: white jacket, red shirt. And yes, his luck [[AFateWorseThanDeath sucks]].
** [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted since he was the only one, except Eva, who survived]].

* DealWithTheDevil

One of the servants in the Ushiromiya mansion. She is a very sweet and shy girl who shares Kanon's belief in their furniture status within the Ushiromiya household. Despite that, though, she actively cultivates a relationship with George.

* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Her dress is primarily purple and she's quite feminine, mature, and lady-like. Well...[[HairTriggerTemper usually.]]

* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Because of her belief that all of the murders will eventually lead to everyone being resurrected in the Golden Land, Maria doesn't even really seem to care much when her own mother dies in the first arc.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: With all of the plausible, if not necessarily likely, names of the rest of the Ushiromiya family, one must wonder what possessed Ryukishi to name his main character "Battler."
** Unless Ryukishi saw our TarotMotifs page (specifically the section on [[spoiler:The Magician]]) and said "Ooooh! There's a name to hide a plot twist behind!"
** Battler is only one letter away from [[Creator/AgathaChristie Battle]].

** [[spoiler:Subverted, since WordofGod has stated that her breasts are actually fake.]]

* {{Troll}}: Much, much more subtle about it than Beato and the metaverse crew because of her FragileFlower nature, but she mercilessly picks on Jessica regarding her lack of boyfriend, and on George and Battler about their embarrassing pasts [[spoiler: especially whenever her true self, Yasu, resurfaces]].
** Which leads to a FunnyAneurysmMoment in Episode 3, when she gently mocks Battler's phrase "I'll come back on a white horse, [[GratuitousEnglish see you again!]]" [[spoiler:In Episode 7 it turns out she ''didn't'' find that line funny. At all.]]

* [[spoiler:StepfordSmiler:]] Assuming that [[spoiler:she's the culprit in the gameboard]], she's quite a unique type, but closer to type C.

* GigglingVillain: Most likely not a villain, but she is disturbingly prone to laughing at horrible situations.

* GigglingVillain: The "villain" part is debatable, but she is disturbingly prone to laughing at horrible situations.

* UpperClassWit: Depends on the situation. Sometimes he is shown to be very clever and sharp; other times, he shows a mind-boggling inability to read the mood and ends up saying innocent but very insensitive things.

* UpperClassWit

** Her PaletteSwap for the Marisa costume is red and white, referring to Reimu (her brown hair also fits in too, since Reimu's hair tends to shift between brown and black depending on the art).

-->"The Master is a man who sometimes has the wisdom to see a thousand years into the future. However, there are times when that appears to be nothing more than madness to commoners such as myself..."

* MeaningfulName: ''Bateleur'' is French for a stage magician, someone who uses mundane means to create the illusion of magic (and it also serves as a possible [[TarotMotifs Tarot Motif]], since the Magician card is known as ''Le Bateleur'' in French) while ''Battler'' is not too far from what he actually does: battle (with witches and demons), and to take it even further the kanji in his name literally mean "fighting person".

* AbusiveParents: The weird case when it overlaps with... MamaBear.

* RedOniBlueOni: Considering [[spoiler:they love the same person]], she could be considered the red to George's blue. More rebellious and HotBlooded, and trying to enjoy life to the maximum. To further the contrast, she helps Kanon to open up, while Shannon was the one to make George less timid.

* TheChewToy: He's probably the servant that is worse off and is probably the third character that has bad luck in the series. Aside from failing to realize his feelings for Jessica until it's too late in all the arcs except [=EP6=], he never survives past the third Twilight contrast to Shannon who easily makes it past the fourth Twilight more often than not. To add to the insult, his body always goes missing in half of the arcs and he's usually accused of being the culprit. [[spoiler: Finally, the chances of him never existing in the first place are very high.]] To be fair though, his death is nothing (AKA getting stabbed or shot in the chest) compared to what the other members of the family have to go through.

* RedOniBlueOni: Could be considered the red to George's blue.

* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Jessica's red.

* TheWisePrince: Amply demonstrated in his lectures on leadership in Ep 4 and 6, complete with ScaryShinyGlasses and levels in badassery.

* PretendBoyfriend: [[spoiler:However much Jessica may wish it were real.]]

** PinocchioSyndrome: [[spoiler:Though only in a metaphorical sense.]]

* ArtificialHuman: According to an anti-mystery perspective. [[spoiler:From an anti-fantasy perspective, it's subverted: the reason why Shannon doesn't consider herself human is because as Yasu, [[AmbiguousGender he/she]] has injuries from when he/she fell off the cliff that damaged his/her body in some way. As a result, Yasu believes he/she has "a body that can't love" and that makes him/her practically subhuman (which is why Shannon and Kanon refer to themselves as "furniture").]]

One of the servants in the Ushiromiya mansion. He maintains the belief that servants are to be nothing but furniture in the Ushiromiya mansion, which initially hinders him from having a relationship with Jessica. He and Shannon act like brother and sister, although they are not related by blood.
