* {{Hypocrite}}: Rinne thinks of Vivio as a "naturally born rich girl" who was raised by elite government officials, Fate and Nanoha, when Rinne herself was adopted by fashion moguls, and as such, she would never have to worry about one or both of her parents risking their lives as part of their jobs the way Vivio would. Not to mention Rinne was blessed from birth with physical and magical talents, while Vivio's body is physically and magically unsuited for combat.



* TheUnreveal: In Episode 5. Her kidnapper is revealed to be the brother of Sara, one of the three girls who bullied her and subsequently lied about the causes of her retaliatory assault on them, claiming that Rinne was their friend...but not only does Rinne have no idea which of the three is Sara, the audience never finds out either.

* UnskilledButStrong: Rinne is undoubtedly a extremely gifted fighter, and Jill even states that natural talent like hers only comes once in a century. However, her usual strategy in fights is to [[AttackAttackAttack punch, grapple, or blast the opponent until they submit or get knocked out.]] A good example is her strategy to defeat [[spoiler:Miura]] in Episode 6, which is only by tanking her kicks and hitting back harder, which is also the same kind of strategy she uses against Vivio during their rematch in Episode 8. [[spoiler:Vivio defeats her both times because of a difference in technical ability.]]

* TrainingFromHell: Her training was so intense it made Rinne pass out and throw up. The reason for this is likely because she understands Rinne's feelings, shown by [[spoiler:her breakdown after Rinne loses to Vivio again]].

The reason for this is likely because she understands Rinne's feelings, shown by [[spoiler:her breakdown after Rinne loses to Vivio again]]. This, ironically, is also the reason why she had to retire as a fighter. Her constant practice of this trope in the past led to serious injuries that forced her to end her career earlier than she wanted.

''Check''.[[note]]While Fuka's name doesn't actually have any meaning (being written in katakana), one of the possible spellings in Kanji translates to "Wind Flower". Plus, Huracan is the Spanish word for hurricane.[[/note]]

She also shows the same frustration when Fuka also refused to go down and lose during their match.
