History Characters / VariableGeo

* HotScientist: She's drop-dead gorgeous, though you don't get to see much of her figure because of her labcoat. Still, if her legs are any indication...

** GagBoobs: Manami refers to Yuka's boobs as "airbags" and enjoys groping them, because of their size and [[{{Gainaxing}} how bouncy they are]], or simply bouncing the back of her head against them while they're riding with Jun.

* {{Gainaxing}}: With melons like hers, it'd be impossible not to, which is seen throughout her match with Yuka. Especially when she blasts Erina with [[spoiler: her Kyuukyo Kikou Dan]]; causing Erina's boobs to jiggle before it sends her flying across the ring.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Like you wouldn't believe! You'd almost think her boobs were spring-loaded.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: When Damian tries to get her to bend the rules to allow Satomi to enter the competition after the deadline, she asks whether it was Satomi's decision, or his. When he evades the question, by implying Satomi could possibly be a match for ''even her'', she bitchslaps him and tells him the answer to both, is "no".

* ShesGotLegs: Seen in the anime's cover art and at multiple points throughout the series, along with plenty of FootFocus thanks to the ankle guards she wears.

* ShesGotLegs: Though hers are more athletic in tone. Likewise, she gets plenty of FootFocus since she's the only one, besides Yuka, who fights barefoot.

* ShesGotLegs: [[http://www.animevice.com/kaori-yanase/18-32723/ Check 'em out]], 'cuz you'll see plenty of them thanks to her fighting style.
** StockingFiller: She wears a pair of dark skin-tight leggings and ankle guards, like Yuka and Satomi.

* HotScientist: She's drop-dead gorgeous, though you don't get to see much of her figure because of her labcoat. Still, if [[ShesGotLegs her legs]] are any indication...

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: She twirls while shredding Satomi's uniform, then finishes with a flourish by spinning rapidly like figure skater, before striking a pose. Moments later, she follows that up with her [[HurricaneKick "Mach Spin".]] It's a wonder she didn't make herself dizzy.

* BikerBabe: It's how she gets around and how she helps get Yuka from place-to-place during the series.

* ChekhovsGunman: She's first seen in episode 1, disguised as the nurse who steps onto the elevator with Yuka and Satomi. Siritahi keeps her head lowered so the fringes of her hair [[BlindingBangs conceal her face.]] The elevator doors close, just as the hospital staff becomes aware that Daisuke's condition has suddenly worsened.

* EvilMatriarch: Noted in the AbusiveParent entry.

* KickTheDog: Miranda loves doing this to Reimi, as seen in the [[AbusiveParents Abusive Parent]] and MeaningfulName entries.

* HollywoodNerd: Suffice to say, he's pretty easy on the eyes, NerdGlasses and all. Reimi certainly thinks so, since she can't keep her hands off him.

* [[AllLovingHero All Loving Heroine]]: Yuka is a compassionate young woman, who firmly believes people can form unshakable bonds with their hearts [[FireForgedFriends and their fists.]]

* [[TheHero The Heroine]][[TheProtagonist /The Protagonist]]: The plot centers around her and her efforts to save Satomi, once she becomes aware that Satomi is being manipulated by [[NebulousEvilOrganization The Jahana Group.]]

* MacGuffinSuperPerson: She becomes the target of The Jahana Group, once Damian senses [[AlmightyJanitor the enormity of]] [[LifeEnergy her spirit power]], during Yuka's match with Jun. Which convinced him that she'd make the ideal vessel for [[spoiler: Miranda]].

* BoobsOfSteel: While not as big as Yuka's, or Erina's, hers are still pretty impressive and she's got the muscle to back 'em.

* GroundPunch: Jun's Earth Grazer is near identical to [[VideoGame/FatalFury Terry Bogard's]] [[GratuitousEnglish "POWAH GEEZAH!!"]] The animation sequence is even similar to the scene where Terry uses it against Wolfgang Krauser.

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Unlike the other entrants, Erina had no problem with stripping in public. After her loss to Yuka, she and her team [[FunPersonified happily]] [[FlungClothing flung their spandex]] into the air.

** [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]: For the aforementioned reason, which she likely gained from her experience as both a computer technician and a martial artist.
* [[CuriosityKilledTheCast Curiosity Killed the Cat]]: Damian tricks her into participating in an unsanctioned match against Satomi by using [[FatalFlaw her interest in gathering data on the other fighters]] to his advantage. He tells her the match would be strictly off the record [[BlatantLies for the sake of their mutual interest in sharing information.]] Kaori had been hoping to gauge Satomi, before their official bout, so she accepts. It was a mistake that nearly gets her killed.

* [[ManipulativeBitch Manipulative Runt]]: She mooches a free dessert off of Jun and weasels out of her match with Erina, by getting them to stop at the site of her designated fight, then allowing Erina to think Yuka was her. See directly below for details.

* [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows too Much]]: Damian catches her spying on him and decides to use her field-test the cyber drive's enhancements. After Chiho's defeat, he leaves her [[TortureTechnician to Siritahi]], who [[ATasteOfTheLash tortures her]] before injecting her with mind control serum.

* [[AdaptationalVillainy Adaptational Jerkassery]]: In her video game portrayal, she uses her body to lure out stalkers and rapists to bring them to justice and does volunteer work at hospitals and homeless shelters. The anime, however, makes her out to be [[DepravedHomosexual a lesbian who sexually harasses other women]]--as seen in the example entry below:

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: She twirls while shredding Satomi's uniform, then finishes with a flourish by spinning rapidly like figure skater, before striking a pose. Moments later, she follows that up with her [[HurricaneKick "Mach]] [[BlowYouAway Spin".]] It's a wonder she didn't make herself dizzy.

[[BigBad The driving force behind The Jahana Group's actions]] [[NotJustATournament and the plot, in general.]] She's also the mother of Reimi, though she has no love for her daughter and sees her as little more than a diversion to her ambitions. Which is to take over a suitably powerful body and reclaim [[EntitledBitch her rightful place as head]] of [[NebulousEvilOrganization The Jahana Corporation.]]

* [[AbusiveParents Abusive Parent]]: A flashback reveals she used to [[spoiler: beat Reimi and subjected her to hellish training and experiments to condition her for use as her new host body]]. When she failed to meet Miranda's expectations, she considered her trash and lost her only interest in her daughter.

* [[spoiler: [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist by Her Own Petard]]]]: Ironically, this happens to her twice:
** Her first mistake was [[AbusiveParents pushing Reimi]] to such insane levels of perfection at an early age, which comes back to bite Miranda in the ass when [[ThePerfectionist Reimi's]] [[AwesomeByAnalysis fighting skills]] prove too much for Satomi to overcome ''even with'' the cyber drive's enhancements.

* [[spoiler: TheUnfought: After all the hell her schemes puts Satomi through, she and Yuka don't actually get to fight her. Instead, [[SoulJar her spirit remains trapped]] [[HauntedTechnology in the cyber drive.]] So they destroy it, presumably taking Miranda along with it]].

* [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Kung-Fu Chick]]: With her fighting skills and considering she's the two-time defending champion of the VG tournament (primed for a three-peat), it's {{justified}}.

* [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections Screw the Rules]]: Damian flagrantly disregards the tournament's rules in order to carry out his plan to resurrect his deceased employer. Including manipulating Satomi into joining the competition past the entry deadline, despite Reimi outright forbidding it. As well as secretly conducting unsanctioned matches to ensure her body would be a suitable and compatible host for Miranda's spirit to inhabit.

A scientist, who works at the Jahana Research Facility and is responsible for providing Damian's medication to help suppress [[SuperpoweredEvilSide his violent impulses.]] She's also in charge of [[TortureTechnician dealing with]] [[HeKnowsTooMuch anyone caught poking around the facility.]] However, it's subtly implied that her real reason for working there, is to find a cure for Damian's condition [[spoiler: so [[SecretRelationship they can be together again]]]].

* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: In the OVA, he's shown to be in frail condition and remains bedridden at a local hospital.

* AmazonianBeauty: Jun has [[http://www.animevice.com/jun-kubota/18-28546/all-images/84-197565/kubota_jun/83-719139/ the type of physique]] one would expect of an Olympian class athlete, being tall and semi-muscular. At the same time, she's a dark skinned raven-haired beauty with [[StatuesqueStunner a stunning figure.]]

* StatuesqueStunner: She ties with Erina Goldsmith as one of the tallest women competing in the tournament and has the muscle to back it; [[AmazonianBeauty which compliments her figure.]]

* OreOnna: In the Japanese subtitled version, she refers to herself using the "ore" pronoun, which is partially [[ShoutOut a nod]] to the fact that her character draws influence from [[Characters/TheKingOfFighters94Part1 Kyo Kusanagi.]]

* RapunzelHair: It's long enough that it almost reaches her feet when she unfastens her hair ribbon. Which is why she usually keeps it in a ponytail and, ''even then'', it's still long enough to extend [[http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/d6/01/d601fca57e29e95744daac3fb742b7ed.png past her buttocks.]]

* RapunzelHair: Hers isn't as long as Yuka's and Reimi's, but it's still past her waist.

** RapunzelHair: Because of her pint-sized stature, her pigtails nearly touch the floor.

* RapunzelHair: Her hair's actually longer than Yuka's and has greater volume to boot. Not that it slows her down any.
** PrincessCurls: Of the [[MegaTwinTails mega twin-tailed]] variety.
** WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: It's closer to silvery grey, but still applies.

* {{Meganekko}}: As seen [[http://www.bladeandepsilon.com/vgcvc016.jpg here.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Hers is purple, making her the only other character besides Manami (pink) and Reimi (silvery white) to have an unusual hair color.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Hers is violet purple.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: It's skintight and short enough that you ''should'' be able to see her panties, though it [[MagicSkirt somehow manages to prevent that.]]

* PlayingWithFire: Which is what the lighter she keeps between her boobs is for. As seen during her match with Yuka]], she can create a flamethrower effect and, once the flame is released, she can separate it into fireballs that she can control at will. Or unleash her power all at once, in a massive pillar of fire from above.

* BeautyMark: Hers is just beneath the corner of her left eye, accentuating [[UnkemptBeauty her natural beauty.]]

* RosehairedGirl: Hers is strawberry pink.

* {{Megane}}: He wears a simple pair a wire-rimmed specs.

* OreOnna: In the Japanese subtitled version, she refers to herself using the "ore" pronoun, which is partially [[ShoutOut a nod]] to the fact that her character draws influence from [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersTheRugalSaga Kyo Kusanagi.]]

* [[AdaptationalVillainy Adaptational Jerkassery]]: In her video game portrayal, she uses her body to lure out stalkers and rapists to bring them to justice. The anime, however, makes her out to be [[DepravedHomosexual a lesbian who sexually harasses other women]] - as seen in the example entry below:

[[TheHero The heroine]] and [[TheProtagonist protagonist]] of ''Variable Geo''. She's 17 and a practitioner of Kyokushin Karate, since childhood. She currently works as a combat waitress at Hanna Miller's and enters the VG Tournament, not for the prize money and real estate, but in [[SpiritedCompetitor the spirit of competition]] and learning more about herself as a martial artist. She is voiced by Creator/KotonoMitsuishi (Japanese) and Edi Patterson (English).

The {{Deuteragonist}} and Yuka's childhood friend. Satomi grew up studying Kyokushin Karate under Yuka's grandfather, which is how they became sparring partners. But she's [[PerpetualPoverty fallen on hard times]], since her parents' deaths, leaving her to care for her ill brother, Daisuke, on her own. Once the Jahana Group becomes aware of her hidden power, they manipulate her into entering [[NotJustATournament the VG Tournament.]] She is voiced by Creator/YukoMiyamura (Japanese) and Amber Quinn (English).

A former Olympic wrestler, who was disgraced after being [[OldShame banned from competition]] for unnecessarily injuring her opponent, which earned her the nickname:[[OnceDoneNeverForgotten "Bone Crusher".]] She's looking to restore her honor and integrity by competiting in the VG ring. She is voiced by Creator/AiOrikasa (Japanese) and Kathryn Feller (English).

As the tournament's lone American entrant, she's also the only foreigner competing in VG. She leads a team [[PlayboyBunny of bunnies]], who not only look up to her, they even carry her around on a throne. But, despite what her seemingly carefree nature would lead you to believe, she's got a DarkAndTroubledPast and a major chip on her shoulder. She is voiced by Creator/YukoNagashima (Japanese).

An 18 year old computer technician and practicioner of Tae Kwon Do, she's one of the top competitors participating in the VG tournament. She has a personal score to settle with Reimi Jahana, the two-time defending and current champion. She is voiced by Creator/YukaImai (Japanese) and Katherine Catmull (English).

She ties with Satomi as being the youngest entrant in the tournament, at age 16. Though she looks, acts, and dresses more like she's 12. However, she's well aware that she's outmatched by the competition, which is why she has absolutely no intention of fighting to begin with. Instead, she plans to cheat her way to the top by tricking others into fighting her matches for her. She is voiced by Creator/IkueOtani (Japanese) and Larissa Wolcott (English).

A {{ninja}} of the Masuda Clan, who's acting on orders from her grandfather, by entering the VG tournament to investigate The Jahana Group's activities. She's also friends with Takikage, a fellow ninja who's infiltrated the group, by disguising himself as one of their operatives. She is voiced by Creator/JunkoIwao (Japanese) and Jessica Robertson (English).

[[DemotedToExtra A minor character]], who works as a dancer at the [=SoTO=] techno/rave dance club. In the anime, she serves as Satomi's first opponent. She is voiced by Creator/MichikoNeya (Japanese) and Sascha Biesi (English).

[[BigBad The driving force behind The Jahana Group's actions]] [[NotJustATournament and the plot, in general.]] She's also the mother of Reimi, though she has no love for her daughter and sees her as little more than a diversion to her ambitions. Which is to take over a suitably powerful body and reclaim [[EntitledBitch her rightful place as head]] of [[NebulousEvilOrganization The Jahana Corporation.]] She is voiced by Creator/AtsukoTanaka (Japanese) and Cyndi Williams (English).

The heiress of the Jahana Family and the two-time defending champion of the VG tournament. Reimi possesses tremendous power and fighting ability, such that few can hope to stand against her, and enters the competition to prove her dominance once again. She is voiced by Creator/YurikoYamaguchi (Japanese), Lane West (English) and Lauren Worsham (English, young Reimi).

Miranda's [[TheDragon most loyal follower and the one she entrusts to carry out her agenda]], who undermines Reimi's authority to do so. After scouting Satomi and sensing her latent power, Damian becomes convinced that she would make the perfect specimen to serve as Miranda's new vessel and manipulates her to that end. He is voiced by Creator/MasashiEbara (Japanese), David Frank Jones (English, Damian) [[spoiler:and David Stokey (English, Katoon)]].

Reimi's personal aide. Little else is known about him, besides the fact that he's apparently her paramour. He is voiced by Creator/KazuyaIchijo (Japanese) and Gary Dehan (English).

An old man, who's accompanied by a young mute girl. They only make occasional appearances, either so the old man can aid Yuka, or simply impart words of wisdom to her. Though their final scene makes it clear that they have their own agenda. She is voiced by Takko Ishimori (Japanese) and Robert Rudie (English).

* RapunzelHair: It's long enough that it almost reaches her feet when she unfastens her hair ribbon. Which is why she usually keeps it in a ponytail and, ''even then'', it's still long enough to extend past her waist.
