History Characters / ValkyrieDriveBhikkhuni

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: They follow a strict hierarchy based on their combat prowess, with Kongo being the weaker of the four and Gundari the most powerful, and thus, the unquestionable leader of the team.

* TheFourGods: As the name suggests, they are modeled after the Four Holy Beasts: Kongo is based on Genbu, Gouzanze is based on Seiryu, Daiitoku is based on Byakko, and Gundari is based on Suzaku.
** [[spoiler: Later in the game is revealed that the entire VR-Class is being groomed by the Director to become the fifth member: Kirin. Thankfully the girls are able to stop this plan before it starts.]]

* ShopKeeper: Runs the in-game store.

* RapunzelHair: Reaches all the way to the ground.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: As a contrast to the Kagurazakas' purple hair.

* {{Meganekko}}: Her glasses are one of her distinctive features.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or in her case, pink and purple.

* FingerlessGloves: Wears a pair of these with her default outfit, a must given her status as the only brawler in the cast.

* FingerlessGloves: Wears these as part of her standard outfit. Since she wields a huge sword, their use is justified.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: All of them at varying degrees. It helps that the school enforces this with the couple system, due to the Armed Virus encouraging this.
** If Viola is to be believed, the school even allows students to get married.
--->''Viola'': Does the Students Affair Office Supply Marriage Registrations too?\\
''Koharu'': I won't accept a marriage registration, okay?\\
''Viola'': ...Tch, you heard that uh?

* NotSoDifferent: With Momo. During a special scene between them, Viola is able to help Momo out with one of her amnesia-induced headaches by telling her that she shouldn't let herself be caught up in the past and to focus on the future instead. Makes sense, considering Viola herself is a former ChildSoldier like Momo.

** ThemeTuneCameo: Said leitmotif is an arrangement of the anime's Opening [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2Qb7eCbzEs ''Overdrive'']]

* MightyGlacier: Hits like a truck but is also the slowest of the Four Gods, making it relatively easy to avoid her attacks.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: One of her signature attacks is to launch a barrage of missiles that tracks you for a couple of seconds before exploding.

* LarynxDissonance: Kongo's Japanese voice actor has an audibly male voice, but the story continually states that Kongo is a female teacher like the rest of the Pillar Gods.

* LarynxDissonance: Kongo's Japanese voice actor has an audibly male voice, but the story continually states that Kongo is a female teacher like the rest of the Pillar Gods.

* NeverMyFault: After she becomes Viola's partner, she's very quick to blame failure on everything but her, even though the Valkyrie Drive relies the efforts of both partners. Excuses fly fast and freely after she's defeated, something that gets rebuked by anyone who hears them.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Mana's able to accurately shoot her arrows while doing ''cartwheels''.

--> Voiced by Creator/KanaeIto (Japanese), Kasi Hollowell (English)

* SuperMode: [[spoiler: All of them are in a permanent Drive state, and their armor and corresponding weak points is comprised of sleeping Valkyries. Breaking the weak point stops the God's Drive with a particular Valkyrie in their body]].
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: None of the new students are really surprised by their female teachers being giant attack robots, and it takes a long time for anyone to realize that yes, it's ''really'' strange to be taking combat lessons from a giant animal-shaped teacher.

* AmbitionIsEvil: Mana's desire to become someone important on the island quickly turns her [[spoiler:into the closest thing the game has to villain]].

* FoodAsBribe: As long you feed her, Manpukumaru will gladly help you with anything you ask of her. This is exploited by various people throughout the story, and she feels genuinely guilty for immediately falling for this when she sells out Momo for five helpings of a high-quality meal.

* TheNicknamer: Seems that as proof of her friendship, she likes to give cute nicknames to her friends. This, of course, means Mana isn't included. in a bit of BilingualBonus, Momo, and Koharu's nicknames are merely the English translations of their first name and last name, respectively.

* TheUnfettered: She will do ''anything'' as long it ensures her a good meal.

* KimonoFanservice: Her custom made kimono is designed with the explicit purpose of showing off her figure.

* BlueOniRedOni: The literal blue to Rinka's Red.

* {{Cyborg}}: An unusual example [[spoiler: they are VR virus patients who willingly went under ''massive'' body modifications to enhance their power and become able to sustain the Drive state indefinitely.]]

* RedEyesTakeWarning: All of them have red eyes (and that is in fact the way to recognize Gouzanze and Daiitoku's real eyes) and are the biggest threat the VR-Class faces through the story.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: None of the new students are really surprised by their female teachers being giant attack robots.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Her stripped stockings grant her a Grade A.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: The Order route reveals [[spoiler: that before arriving at Bhikkhuni she was held prisoner in another island where she would be forced to fight non stop against other Valkyries every day. Food was [[FreudianExcuse the only thing]] that gave her solace during that time.]]

* UnskilledButStrong: Exaggerated. What her attacks lack in finesse, they more than makeup for it on raw power. Every single attack of hers is incredibly clumsy, as she throws her entire body into swings and often end with her just barely managing to not fall over; they're also the most devastating attacks in the game, even before she charges them up or activates her Drive.

* HeroicRROD: [[spoiler: Momo and Rinka's fight against Professor Gouzanze ends in a victory, but Rinka passes out and collapses due to channeling the Virus' power to an unhealthy degree]]. She's swiftly hospitalized, causing her to be unavailable in both the Dining Room and for missions for a while.

* MiniMook: The Shooter Class is the smallest of the bunch.

* BattleCouple: A given due the way the Armed Virus works.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:Drawing their full power while in Extar form can put them out of commission for several days due to the extreme physical and metal stress they experience. Rinka discovered this after helping Momo to fight Professor Gouzanze]].

* FusionDance: Connect Mode enables the Liberator and the Extar to actually fuse into a single being, being a SuperMode that is impervious to damage as long you have Synchro stocks available.
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Their weapons evolve with each level of Drive, being particularly apparent in Final Drive.

* MorphWeapon: Each girl is able to take up four different versions of a given weapon.
** This extends to Mamori as well.

* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Activating their Drives will override the stage's music with that particular character's leitmotif.

* AllLovingHero: Rinka's gentle and kind personality leads to think of everyone on the island as her friends. Even when they are downright aggressive towards her like Momo or Viola.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Despite being infected with a potentially lethal disease, being separated from her family and loved ones for undefined time and having her trust betrayed again and again; she never loses her idealism and hopes for better, brighter future for everyone.

* NaiveNewcomer: During the opening of the game, she has absolutely no idea what she and her sister have to do or where their permits need to be turned in. She's confident they will find all the help they need simply asking random strangers about it. [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight She was right]].

* PinkIsFeminine: Is associated with color pink and is by far the most feminine member of the cast.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Almost to the point of IdenticalTwins with Ranka. Somewhat justified since early on the game's development they actually were twins.

* WideEyedIdealist: She has an extremely hard time to understand why not all of her classmates would rather stay at Bhikkhuni than going back to their families.

* BigSisterInstinct: Sees herself as Rinka's protector, despite being the younger of the two. ''Bhikhkunism'' reveals she took the role upon herself due Rinka being real clumsy and quick to cry when they were younger.

* BrutalHonesty: Tends to be very blunt when speaking. Due this she occasionally veers into InnocentlyInsensitive.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Ranka remains at her sister's side at all times and is quick to jump on her defense at the smallest hint of trouble. She's also very hostile to the mere suggestion of anyone partnering with Rinka.

** Her signature move works like this as well. By holding the heavy attack button, Ranka releases a wave of fire that travels on the ground. The longer triangle is hold, the farther the wave travels.
* CovertPervert: Despite her fixation on her sister, Ranka is very interested in the bodies of her classmates. She goes as far as to fantasize about being abused by Momo after hearing her sleep talking, and shamelessly asking the blonde Viola if her carpet matches the drapes (Ranka freely admits she'd look for herself in the baths, but Viola's terrible singing stops her in this case).

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* GreenEyedMonster: She doesn't takes kindly to sharing her sister's attention with someone else.

* ParentalAbandonment: Unlike Rinka, she's convinced their parents wanted to get rid of them after being diagnosed with the Armed Virus, with her suspecting that they got paid for sending their daughters to the island.

* BookDumb: While her performance on physical activities is outstanding, her grasp on basic school subjects like History leave a lot to be desired. She's bad enough that one of her romance conversations with Koharu has Momo being tutored by her.

* FragileSpeedster: The fastest character on the cast in all regards, but with below average endurance.

* LastNameBasis: Fitting her cold and hostile attitude, she only uses the other girls' last name to talk with them.

* RollerbladeGood: Uses a pair of skates as her main means of locomotion. If she's wearing other clothes, her shoes glow and continue to sound like rollerblades.

* StealthHiBye: She's usually too impatient to bother with hellos and goodbyes, prone to sneaking up on people she's forced to interact with and disappearing when she gets tired of speaking with the others. Even when she's warmed up to her classmates, Momo keeps up this habit.

* AbnormalAmmo: Mana uses her own hair as ammo for her bow.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Only during the latter half of the game, before that she's a genuinely sweet girl.

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Mana's actions through the whole game revolve around giving her validation as being different, unique, and valued between her peers.

* TheWoobie: Mana bounce between this and JerkassWoobie through the entire game: she's a classical woobie during the first half of the game, goes straight into Jerkass Woobie territory after the middle point of the game and firmly remains there until the end.

'''''Manpukumaru:''' For those I can just dislocate my jaw and swallow them whole.''

* CloudCuckoolander: Her thought process is pretty bizarre, no one can tell for sure what is what she's thinking at a given moment. She will also try to eat anything if someone puts it on a dish, including a ''steel plate'' (she had to go to the dentist afterwards).

* FoodAsBribe: As long you feed her, Manpukumaru will gladly help you with anything you ask of her. This is exploited by various people throughout the story, and she feels geniunely guilty for immediately falling for this when she sells out Momo for five helpings of a high-quality meal.

* TheNicknamer: Seems like as proof of her friendship, she gives cute nicknames to all of her friends. This, of course, means Mana isn't included. Momo and Koharu's nicknames are merely [[BilingualBonus English translations]] of their first name and last name, respectively.

* UnskilledButStrong: Exaggerated. What her attacks lack in finesse, they more than make up for it on raw power. Every single attack of hers is incredibly clumsy, as she throws her entire body into swings and often end with her just barely managing to not fall over; they're also the most devastating attacks in the game, even before she charges them up or activates her Drive.

* WorfEffect: Despite being introduced as one of the top three combatants in the island, she tends to lose all the fights on which she's involved, either as Liberator or Extar.

* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: Given her previous experiences in [[ChildSoldier combat]], she should be knowledgeable of basic gun safety but the way she uses her handgun is reckless to say the least. The most damming aspect is the fact she stashes her loaded gun ''inside her cleavage'' when is not in use.

* BottomlessMagazines: She's never in the need of reloading or recharging her gun, particularly egregious during her level one Limit Break ''Dizzy Bullet'' where she fires hundreds of shot in rapid succession while spinning.

* OccidentalOtaku: Show shades of this given the fact she looks like a stereotypical foreigner and has an obvious fixation in Japanese culture, going so far to tailor all of her kimonos.

** ''Bhikkhunism'' goes so far to show she owns an entire building.

* StalkerWithACrush: Has an encyclopedic knowledge on Koharu's customs that allows her to accurately predict where Koharu will be a given time.

* {{Tsundere}}: A shining example of the trope. Her flippant attitude, massive ego, and general dismissal of everyone else are just her clumsy attempts to get Koharu's attention. ''Bhikkhunism'' goes so far to show that she has ''zero'' interest in taking a class if Koharu isn't there.
** She's also one for Ranka. In Chaos 17-B, this conversation occurs:
--->''Mana'': Oh, Viola. By any chance, did you help Ranka out because you were thinking of Ranka's safety in the end?\\

* VocalDissonance: Has a noticeably deep voice for an 18 year old.

* TheComicallySerious: Koharu is seemingly unable to take thing lightly, leading to some pretty amusing interactions with the rest of the cast ([[CloudCuckoolander Manpukumaru]] in particular).

* SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands: Has an extensive surveillance system at her disposal from which she keeps tabs of all the happenings on the island. She's also able to create floating screens to communicate with the students regardless of their location.

* TheFourGods: As the name suggests, they are modeled after the Four Holy Beasts: Kongo is based on Genbu, Gouzanze is based on Seiryu, Daiitoku is based on Byakko and Gundari is based on Suzaku.

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Has two sets of eyes on her head: the ones placed on its natural place and a smaller set on her forehead. [[spoiler: And of course, her real eyes are the ones on her forehead]].

* HeroOfAnotherStory: [[spoiler: Lead an armed rebellion against AAA to rescue Echigoya years prior to the game's events.]]

* MarionetteMaster: [[spoiler:Of the robotic variety, she controls ''every single'' robot present on the island. This takes a considerable an amount of her power and thus when she needs to use her full power to stop Rinka, every robot on the island is render nonoperational.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:Hers is failing to save her fellow Valkyries (especially Etch) from their fates at the hands of AAA during her own time as a student on Bhikkhuni. This leads to her reforming Bhikkhuni island under her created system and becoming the first Pillar God in order to prevent such a tragedy from happening ever again.]]

* PlayingWithFire: Her elemental affinity is fire and she's quite skillful to use it on combat.

* WorldsBestWarrior: Her power is so great, that students aspiring to graduate only need to ''scratch'' her to approve. Echigoya reveals during the Order route that [[spoiler: this was also true back when Gundari was a normal Valkyrie, she goes as far as describing Gundari as an "Angry Goddess"]]

* FusionDance: When activating Connect. Although unlike the version shown on the anime, doing this only surrounds Mirei with a multicolor energy aura.

* CursedWithAwesome: Mamori's potential with the virus is so incredibly high than she became a priority target for AAA on the anime.

* TheDeterminator: She won't let anything stop her from fulfilling Mirei's wish of using their power to cure everyone infected with the Armed Virus.

* FusionDance: [[spoiler: She pulls one with Mamori on the series finale]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Despite being blonde due to PowerDyesYourHair, she still embodies the trope, blonde hair, and Mamori's PrinceCharming.
* HatesBeingTouched: She downright threatens the player when touched in the Dressing Room.

* LightningBruiser: She's very fast and hits very hard, making her one of the best (if not the best) characters on the game.

** Her air triangle attack is the same she does on the episode 2 of the anime.

* PowerGivesYouWings: During Final Drive, she's able to manifest a pair of energy wings during the finisher of certain combos and during her ultimate Drive Break. Interestingly, only Koharu is able to do the same.

** Interestingly, this trope only applies to her school uniform. Put her on a different costume and she will wear a bra just like all the other characters in the game. The opposite is also true, make another character wear Mirei's uniform and she won't wear a bra with it.

* CuteClumsyGirl: Is shown as tripping over during ''her intro''

* ImpossiblyLowNeckline It's a miracle she doesn't have constant [[WardrobeMalfunction malfunctions]] with how low the neckline of her kimono is.

* EquippableAlly: As expected for Armed Virus Carriers

* MookMedic: The Support Class.

** Played straight in the Order Route [[spoiler: when the robots set on you by Gundari take the aspect of the Fifth Class students clad in red and black armor]]

* EmpathicWeapon: Their performance as weapons is tied to their emotional state and bond with their Liberators. Also, unlike other Armed Virus carriers, they are perfectly aware of what is happening and to communicate while in weapon form.

* FlowerMotifs: Cherry Blossoms. Activating her Drive will surround Ranka on them and during Final Drive, her sword will spread petals with each swing.
* GuestFighter: She and Ranka are DLC for ''[[VideoGame/SenranKagura Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash]]''

* MagneticHero: She is the glue holding together the entire VR-Class. Taken to the extremes on the Order Route where even [[spoiler:the Pillar Gods decide to trust her with the safety of every Valkyrie on the island.]]

* NoSenseOfDirection: So prone to get lost (along with her sister) that she and Ranka earned the nickname of "The Stray Sisters", with the trait seemingly running in their family.

* CovertPervert: Despite her fixation on her sister, Ranka is very interested in the bodies of her classmates. She goes as far as to fantasize about being abused by Momo after hearing her sleep talking, and shamelessly asking the blonde Viola if her carpet matches the drapes.

* FingerlessGloves: A must given her status as the only brawler in the cast.

* ChildSoldier: Momo's social ineptitude stems from a childhood fighting on wars. ''Bhikkhunism'' reveals that [[spoiler:she was a member of the SOLDIER program just like [[Anime/ValkyrieDriveMermaid Mirei]]]]

* SkinshipGrope: Fond of popping out of nowhere to grope Ranka.

* CloudCuckoolander: Her thought process is pretty bizarre, no one can tell for sure what is what she's thinking at a given moment.

** SpinAttack: Throws herself spinning against her foes in such a way that would make [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] proud.
** DeathFromAbove: Rains devastation over her enemies using rocks in form of ''ice cream cones''.

* NinjaMaid: As ''Bhikkunism'' reveals, she worked for Viola as one prior to the events of the game, that is why her default outfit is of a maid's and why Viola's reasonably friendly with her.

* UnskilledButStrong: What her attacks lack in finesse, they make it up on raw power.

* ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: Given her previous experiences in [[ChildSoldier combat]], she should be knowledgeable of basic Gun Safety and yet, the way she uses her handgun is reckless to say the least. The most damming aspect is the fact she stashes her gun ''inside her cleavage'' when is not in use.

* BottomlessMagazines: She's never in the need of recharging her gun, particularly egregious during her level one Limit Break ''Dizzy Bullet'' where she fires hundreds of shot in rapid succession while spinning.
* ChildSoldier: Unlike Momo, it's never properly elaborated upon but is mentioned multiple times throughout the story that she has been in the middle of real combat and knows all too well what is awaiting to them if [[spoiler: AAA ever get their hands on them.]]

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Her crush on Koharu is evident to everyone. Except for [[ObliviousToLove Koharu]] herself of course
* FashionDesigner: All of her clothes are hand made by Viola herself.

* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Proclaimed herself as the Queen of the fifth graduating class based only on her attractive.
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline Is a miracle she doesn't have constant WardrobeMalfunction with how low the neckline of her Kimono is.

* KimonoFanservice: Her custom made Kimono is designed with the explicit purpose of showing off her figure
* LargeHam: As is the trend of characters voiced by Creator/YuuKobayashi

** SpinAttack: Spins wildly while shooting her gun with abandon as her level one Drive Break
** BladeSpam: Rushes forward in a flurry of slashes during her second-level Drive Break

* NoblewomansLaugh: Indulges on this during her Ultimate Limit Break.
* NoSocialSkills: As mentioned before, she has a hard time expressing herself properly with people that are not named Koharu.

* RichBitch: Viola can easily afford to live on the Elite's district and has the attitude to match.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Viola has an almost pathological fixation on Koharu and in consequence dismisses everyone else.

* {{Tsundere}}: A shining example of the trope. Her flippant attitude, massive ego, and general dismiss of everyone else are just her clumsy attempts to get Koharu's attention. ''Bhikkhunism'' goes so far to show that she has ''zero'' interest in taking a class if Koharu isn't there.

--->'''Mana:''' Oh, Viola. By any chance, did you help Ranka out because you were thinking of Ranka's safety in the end?\\
'''Rinka:''' Huh?\\
'''Viola:''' ([[LuminescentBlush blushing]]) N-no! I just wanted to smash [[spoiler:Rinka's]] sugarcoated ideals, that's all! I just wanted to destroy that delusion of yours that you had any chance of beating [[spoiler:the Four Pillar Gods]]!\\

* VocalDissonance: Has a noticeable deep voice for 18 years old.

* DragonAscendant: Only in the Order Route [[spoiler: where Koharu is the final boss, taking on herself the task of defeating Rinka after Gundari's defeat]]

* {{Foil}}: Serves as one for Rinka. Whereas Rinka is the naive and idealist newcomer, Koharu is the experienced and pragmatic veteran. This extends to gameplay as well, with Koharu's moveset being a more efficient take on Rinka's techniques.

* TheAce: Koharu is able to excel at anything she does, sometimes without needing to make a serious effort (much to Ranka's chagrin).
* TheComicallySerious: Koharu is seemingly unable to take thing lightly, leading to some pretty amusing interactions with the rest of the cast ([[CloudCuckoolander Manpukumaru]] in particular)

-->'''Koharu:''' [[spoiler:Viola]] may not seem the type, but she puts in a lot of effort when nobody's looking. I really love that about her.\\
[[spoiler:'''Viola:''']] [[{{Tsundere}} L-love!? What are you... in front of people...]]\\
'''Koharu:''' (with a smug look on her face) Are you saying there isn't a thing you love about me, [[spoiler:Viola]]?\\
[[spoiler:'''Viola:''']] [[BigWhat Eeeh!?]] O-of course I... L-love you...

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Simply known as The Director.

* MrExposition: Being the island's Director, she is in charge of explaining the island rules and the nature of the program to all the newcomers.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Or in her case, Pink and purple.

* FriendInTheBlackMarket: Will get ''anything'' for you as long you meet her prices
-->''Echigoya:'' "I will deal on anything but lives as long the price is right!"

* MoneyFetish: The only thing she's interested on is money. [[spoiler: Revealed as being a mere role she's playing to hide from AAA.]]

* ThirdPersonPerson: Refers to herself as "Etch-chan"

* {{Cyborg}}: An unusual example [[spoiler: they are VR virus patients who willingly went under ''massive'' body modifications to enhance their power and become able to sustain the drive state indefinitely.]]

* TurnsRed: They are able to siphon energy from the Island itself, greatly increasing their power and allowing them to regenerate from any injury, effectively making them invincible. Interestingly, despite this being a plot point in the Order route; you only fight their enhanced forms (called "Power Unleashed" by the in-game bestiary) on the Challenge and Survival modes.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her teachings are one of the main reasons for Mana's FaceHeelTurn
* MightyGlacier: Hits like a truck but is also the slowest of the four gods, making relatively easy to avoid her attacks.

* TheBigGuy: The largest and physically most powerful of the four pillar gods.
* TheJuggernaut: Able to cover herself with a shield of pure energy that makes her completely invulnerable to any attack.

* AnIcePerson: One of her preferred means of attacking is throwing huge chunks of ice at the player.

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Has two sets of eyes on her head: the ones placed on its natural place and a smaller set on her forehead. [[spoiler: And of course, her real eyes are the ones on her forehead]]

* TheChick: She's the most feminine and emotional of the four gods.

-->'''Daiitoku:''' ''And I'm not a cat, you idiot. I'm a goddamn Tiger.''

* TheBadGuyWins: This trope is the entire reason the Pillar Gods even exist.
* TheDreaded: Simply mentioning them is enough to send the Four Pillar Gods into a panic.

* ItsRainingMen: Since they are bonus characters with no plot relevance, their intro cutscene has them pulling this.
** FreeFallRomance: Fitting their status as OfficialCouple

** ContinuityNod: Interestingly, they follow the same rules from the anime instead of the ones made up for the game. Thus, while ''[[VideoGame/ValkyrieDriveBhikkhuni Bhikkhuni's]]'' cast can take the Liberator or Extar role indistinctly, Mirei can only be a Liberator and Mamori can only be an Extar; plus Mamori is the only Extar available to Mirei and vice-versa

* MythologyGag: Some of her animations are lifted directly from or are a reference to the anime and the diverse promotional artwork done for it:
** Her air triangle attack is the same she does on the episode 2 of the anime.
** Does the same pose as the anime's key art a the end of she and Mamori's intro cutscene.
** Her Victory pose is the same pose her figurine is sculpted doing.
* PowerGivesYouWings: During Final Drive, she's able to manifest a pair of energy wings during the finisher of certain combos and during her ultimate Drive Break. Interestingly, only Koharu is able to do the same.

* VaporWear: Notoriously, she doesn't use a bra. Likely a remnant of her time as a SOLDIER since this maximizes her efficiency to drive in the midst of battle.

* AlphaBitch: Develops this personality trait after spending some time as Viola's partner and picking up some of the latter mannerisms.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Mana's desire to become someone important on the island quickly turns her [[spoiler:into the closest thing the game has to villain]]
* TheArcher: The only long-range attack specialist in the VR-Class although in an interesting take on the trope, Mana's more than willing to follow orders and her arrogance is unrelated to her archery skills.

* BreakTheCutie: Mana begins the game as a genuinely (if somewhat ambitious) NiceGirl that is trying her best to bond with her new classmates and generally fit among the island population. However, her designated partner has zero interest in cooperate with her and the few friends she has made fail to properly support her when she most needs them. With the ever-present threat of being deported from the island if she fails to meet the school's standards, Mana quickly becomes ruthless and selfish, quick to thrown everyone under the bus to further her own goals.
* BreakTheHaughty: Only during the Chaos route, where Koharu utterly shatters her dreams by revealing [[spoiler: she was nothing more than a puppet for Gundari and that she would never get the position she so desperately craves]]

* ChronicBackStabbingDisorder: Mana's only loyal to herself and will align to whoever offers the best outcome for her.

* {{Escapism}}: She slips into this after being appointed Deputy Head by the director. Using her role as justification, she turns blind eye to all the questionable actions she takes against her classmates.

-->'''''The Director:''' Still not looking very serene. If anything she looks downright villainous now''

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Mana's actions through the whole game revolve around giving her validation as being different and unique between her peers.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Mana's able to accurately shoot her arrows while doing ''cartwheels''

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK2JlL6eog0 HONOR]]

** Shoots a huge arrow during her first Drive Break
** SpinAttack: Spins wildly shooting arrows everywhere as part of her second Drive Break

* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: She had signs of being a schemer before, but it really starts to shine later in the game.
* {{Multishot}}: At high Drive levels she's able to shot multiple arrows at once that will home in on targeted enemies.

* TookALevelInJerkass: She begins the game as a genuinely NiceGirl. Midway through the first half, she starts to get ambitious and wants to climb the ranks by any means necessary. That includes leaving Momo, who she had been trying and failing to bond with, in the dust. As she continues to hang with Viola, she becomes more and more condescending and manipulative, [[spoiler: seeing nothing wrong with tricking Manpukumaru into deliberately throwing a fight with the promise of food.]]
* WomanScorned: Takes very hard Momo's rejection and becomes particularly vicious against her any time they meet each other through the story. Until the Order Route where Mana [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn is triggered by Momo offering her a sincere apology for the way she acted at the beginning of the game]]
* TheWoobie / JerkassWoobie: Mana bounce between the two through the entire game: she's a classical woobie during the first half of the game, goes straight into Jerkass Woobie territory after the middle point of the game and firmly remains there until the end.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: The Order route reveals [[spoiler: that before arriving at Bhikkhuni she was held prisoner in another island where she would be forced to fight non stop against other valkyries every day. Food was [[FreudianExcuse the only thing]] that gave her solace during that time.]]

* FoodAsBribe: As long you feed her, Manpukumaru will gladly help you with anything you ask of her.
* GeniusDitz: She can come up with surprisingly clever plans -like fooling ''Viola'' into being bait- using the prospect of getting more food as motivation.

* HiddenDepths: She's surprisingly insightful for someone whose only care in the world is to have filled belly, able to remain calm at all times, and to plan some pretty elaborate schemes to further her goals.

** SpinAttack: She sends spinning her cleavers, trapping every enemy unlucky enough to stand on their path.

** DeathFromAbove: Rains devastation over her enemies using rocks in form of ''ice cream cones''
* MacheteMayhem: Manpukumaru's weapon of choice is a pair of giant Meat Cleavers.
* MeaningfulAppearance / CostumePorn: She wears a cute set in the form of Sunnyside eggs, Lettuce, and one Apple on her head, she calls it "The Breakfast set". Luckily, they are mere ornaments and no the real thing. Although not due to lack of trying.
-->'''''Manpukumaru:''' I tried doing a bunch of different things, but they all failed. Things would wilt, leak out some weird juices and the bugs... Oh man, the bugs...''
* MsFanservice: Yes, even in this game she stands out as one. She's got the skimpiest costume, her chest is enormous [[WorldOfBuxom even by Takaki standards,]] her intro and supers are packed with MaleGaze, and in a game where pretty much every girl is already a walking PantyShot, hers are so excessive they ''still'' stand out.
* NinjaMaid: As ''Bhikkunism'' reveals, she worked for Viola as one prior to the events of the game, that is why her default outfit is of a maid's.
* StatuesqueStunner: Given she's the tallest character in the cast (beating Viola by two centimeters) her character model positively dwarfs everyone else in cutscenes.
* TheNicknamer: Seems like as proof of her friendship, she gives cute nicknames to all of her friends. This, of course, means Mana isn't included.

*** BilingualBonus: Momo and Koharu's nicknames are merely English translations of their first name and last name, respectively.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Apples. She likes them so much that her weapons are decorated with apple motifs.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: There's not a single spiteful bone on this girl's body. Something that makes pretty jarring the absolute distaste she shows for Mana. Not that she is without reason though.
* PrivateMilitaryContractors: She offers her services either as Extar or Liberator to any girl on the island for the right price (usually a meal). She's also Echigoya's personal bodyguard/enforcer.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Refers to herself by her name. And almost always by her [[FullNameBasis full name.]]

* BerserkButton: Insulting her sister. In the Drama CD, she nearly goes into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge after hearing Viola spread lies about her sister in the former's radio show.

* BrotherSisterIncest: Same-sex example. Ranka really, ''really'' loves her sister. It comes to a point where she has already planned out their entire wedding and honeymoon, she only needs to find a country where two sisters can get married. In an unusual move for the trope, they are actual, blood-related siblings.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Ranka remains at her sister's side at all times and is quick to jump on her defense at the smallest hint of trouble.

** Her signature move works like this as well. By holding triangle down, Ranka releases a wave of fire that travels on the ground. The longer triangle is hold, the farther the wave travels.
* CovertPervert: Despite her fixation on her sister, Ranka is very interested on the bodies of her classmates. She goes as far as to fantasize about being abused by Momo after hearing her sleep talking and asking Viola if the carpet matches the drapes.

* GreenEyedMonster: She doesn't takes kindly to share her sister's attention with someone else.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82RX_rNEcpw FAITH]]

* LastNameBasis: Unless the person she's spoken lacks one or is her sister, she will never use their first name.
* LightningBruiser: Packs quite a punch and is one of the fastest characters in the VR-Class

** RapidFireFisticuffs: Used on her Second Drive Break

* NoSenseOfDirection: So prone to get lost that she and Ranka earned the nickname of "The Stray Sisters", seemingly it runs on their family.

* ParentalAbandonment: Unlike Rinka, she's convinced their parents wanted to get rid of them after being diagnosed with the Armed Virus.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Almost to the point of IdenticalTwins with Rinka. Somewhat justified since early on development they actually were twins.

* WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: She slips into this on [[spoiler: the Chaos Route where convinced Rinka won't listen to reasons, she resorts to combat to convince her to stay on the island with her.]]

* BladeOnAStick: Momo's signature weapon is a spear.
* BloodKnight: Before her character development hits, fighting strong people is the only thing on her mind.
* BookDumb: While her performance on physical activities is outstanding, her grasp on basic school subjects like History left a lot to be desired. She's bad enough that one of her romance novels with Koharu has Momo being tutored by her.

* CharacterDevelopment: Goes from a girl obsessed with becoming stronger and dismissing any sort of bonds with people to learn about the PowerOfFriendship and becoming TrueCompanions with the Kagurazakas and Manpukumaru.

* EasilyForgiven: Only on the Order Route where [[spoiler:Mana forgives the horrible treatment she got from Momo at the start of the game as soon Momo offers her an apology.]]
* FragileSpeedster: The fastest character on the cast but with a below the average endurance.
* FlashStep: Her signature move enables her to appear behind any targeted enemy to strike them with a launcher attack regardless of its distance.

* IllKillYou: During the first third of the game this is pretty much all that she says. It gets lampshaded in ''Bhikkhunism'' where Ranka calls her out on it.

** BladeSpam: Rushes all over the stage piercing everything with her spear during her Level 1 Drive Break

* NoSocialSkills: She has no idea about how to behave among people. It's only through Rinka's stubbornness that she becomes able to function on society.
* QuestForIdentity: Whoever sent her to Bhikkhuni sealed away her memories and during the first half of the game, the search for her missing memories is her focus. However, she stops worrying about them once she becomes attached to the Kagurazakas, deciding is more important to make new memories.

* RollerbladeGood: Uses a pair of skates as her main means of locomotion.

* SpectacularSpinning: Momo ''loves'' to spin her spear around during her combos.
* TalkingInYourSleep: Momo talks while she's sleeping (in class too, no less). During a special scene when Ranka's romance level with her is high enough, Momo will talk about how good "Kagurazaka's" breasts feel and how [[DoubleEntendre she'd like to stab the "Kagurazaka" with her lance]] and then motorboat her. Ranka's surprised reactions get her in she gets back at Momo by waking her up by throwing a piece of an eraser at her. Momo then reveals that the Kagurazaka she was dreaming about was Ranka herself. Ranka gets a NoseBleed when Momo reveals this fact.
* TeethClenchedTeamWork: At the beginning of the game she has to be forced to work together with the other girls, she gets better as the story progresses though.
* TheQuietOne: Tends to be the most reserved of the cast, only talking when is necessary.

* ScarfOfAsskicking: One of the best warriors on the VR-Class and she's never seen without her signature scarf.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: She looks like someone in their late teens to maybe early 20s especially with her stoic demeanor. She's actually ''14 years old''.

* FacelessMasses / FacelessGoons: They lack facial features in the few cutscenes they do show up

* MookMedic: The Support Class
* MiniMook: The Shooter Class is the smaller of the bunch.

** Leader Class: Armed with Flamethrowers

** Shooter Class: Small, somewhat cute girls able to fly.
* PlayingWithFire: The Leader class is quite proficient in the use of Flamethrowers
* RedShirtArmy: Since combat between them is not only an important element of their treatment program but also highly encouraged by the faculty, get used to mow them down by the dozen through the entirety of the game. The only thing separating them from being regular {{Main/Mooks}} is the fact they are the classmates of the VR-Class and thus harbor no ill will against them.
** Played straight in the Order Route [[spoiler: when the robots sic on you by Gundari take the aspect of the Fifth Class students clad in red and black armor]]

* ActionGirl: Having exceptional prowess in combat is a requirement to get into this class.
* BattleCouple: A given due the way Armed Virus works.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:Drawing their full power while in Extar form can put them out of commission for several days due to the extreme stress they experience. Rinka discovered this after helping Momo to fight Professor Gouzanze]]

* FusionDance / SuperMode: Connect Mode enables the Liberator and the Extar to actually fuse into a single being that is impervious to damage as long you have Synchro stocks available.
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: Particularly in Final Drive.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: All of them at varying degrees. It helps that the school enforces this with the couple system.

--->''Viola: Does the Students Affair Office Supply Marriage Registrations too?''\\
''Koharu: I won't accept a marriage registration, okay?''\\
''Viola: ...Tch, you heard that uh?''
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Activating Drive overrides the stage's music with that particular character's leitmotif.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Just like in Anime/ValkyrieDriveMermaid, they are able to transform at will into weapons by being aroused.

* AllLovingHero: Rinka gentle and kind personality leads to think of everyone on the island as her friends. Even when they are downright aggressive towards her like Momo or Viola.

* CharacterDevelopment: She begins the game as a good-natured if somewhat airheaded girl that sees the world in pretty simplistic terms. But by the time the story ends she comes to realize the world is not as simple as she initially thought and that sometimes conflict is necessary to help everyone.
* CloudCuckoolander: Tends to get lost in her own world, unable to realize not everyone wants the same as her.

--> '''''Ranka''': It's not fair, Sis...You'll keep going until you win? There's no way for me to beat you then!''
* FlowerMotifs: Cherry Blossoms, activating drive with her will surround her on them and during Final Drive, her sword will spread petals with each swing.

* IaijutsuPractitioner: Her signature attack has her doing a single slash that multiples as soon she sheathes her Katana.
* IconicItem: She's never seen without her Blue hairpin, ''Bhikkhunism'' even shows her wearing it while ''bathing''

* KatanasAreBetter: Played with, her default weapon is a Katana but after driving it turns into a {{BFS}} somewhat reminiscent of a Zweihänder and then turning into a [[LaserBlade Katana made of light]] as its true form.

* MagneticHero: She is the glue holding together the entire VR-Class. Taken to the extremes on the Order Route where even [[spoiler:the Pillar Gods decide to trust on her the safety of every Valkyrie on the island.]]

* NaiveNewcomer: During the opening of the game she has absolutely no idea what they have to do or where their permits ended. She's confident they will find all the help they need simply asking random strangers about it. [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight She was right]]
* NoSenseOfDirection: So prone to get lost that she and Ranka earned the nickname of "The Stray Sisters", seemingly it runs on their family.
* ObliviousToLove: She's completely unaware of the strong feeling that Ranka and Momo harbor for her.

* OneHandedZweihander: As she wields her weapon.

* RedOniBlueOni: Oddly enough is not with her sister but with Momo. She's the Red Oni to Momo's Blue Oni. Whereas Momo is introverted and shy, Rinka is outgoing, expressive, and defiant.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Almost to the point of IdenticalTwins with Ranka. Somewhat justified since early on development they actually were twins.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Played with, she is told quite early on her quest to release Bhikkhuni about the consequences her acts will bring to everyone on the island.

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Is fond of taunting her opponents during combat.

* FlowerInHerHair: Wears a hair clip with flowers on her head.
