-> In ''Code: Embryo'' the Magic Guild task her with hunting down Sechs, Acht and Drei of the Ten Sages and either capturing or killing them [[spoiler:and is given the Legacy Weapon, Sealed Spear: Izayoi so she can accomplish this]]. After learning that the Ten Sages were after Touya, she transfers to his class and moves into the Himezuru residence so she can act as a bodyguard. Throughout the game she continues trying to persuade the Sechs to return to Ishana, but is unsuccessful and eventually realizes that she has to give up on [[spoiler: her brother]]. After helping defeat the Ten Sages, Kuon returns to Ishana [[spoiler:where she begins training under Zwei]].

* [[CainAndAbel Abel]]: to [[spoiler: Sech's]] Kain

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: She is an incredibly powerful Mage and despite her age is expected to join the Ten Sages due to her skill. [[spoiler:She is officially chosen to be a member at the end of ''Lost: Memories'']].

* CommonalityConnection: She and Mei become a lot closer when they realize that both of them have lost [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest their father]] and are able to discuss this with someone else.

* DisabledLoveInterest: For Touya in her route [[spoiler: At the end of the route she and Touya return to Ishana together. However, because she used the Izayoi against Sechs, she is going blind and is going to die soon]].

* LastSecondChance: Every encounter she has with Sechs, she would give him one last chance to go back to Ishana and face his crimes, otherwise she will use [[spoiler:Izayoi]] to seal him away. [[spoiler:She eventually stops trying near the end of every route and makes the decision to seal him away. In her own route, she prioritizes Touya's safety and goes off on her own to defeat her brother to prevent him from following him to Ishana]].

* PowerNullifier: [[spoiler: The Sealed Spear Izayoi can seal its target’s magic]].

--> ''"Oh … How sad. It’ll be such a shame that I won’t be able to see your face as you die."''

* WhiteKnighting: Tends to jump into situations to help others without thinking (such as appearing and saving Akira from some thugs) but doesn’t think of the consequences of doing this.

* {{Jerkass}}: Lets face it, she's not exactly the most polite person.

* SuperpowerMeltdown: This is what happens if he loses control of his Original Grimoire; it turns him into the Black Beast. [[spoiler:This also happens to the original Touya when he overused his blood manipulation Drive and died.]]

* BlueIsHeroic: Her signature dress (at least in the first game) is mainly colored blue, and while she starts off as more "neutral" in disposition, she becomes more heroic over time. [[spoiler:Her eyes also turns blue after she obtains the power of the Embryo.]]

* {{Seifuku}}: Wears one while attending Hakuo North Academy.

* TwiceShy: With Touya. She struggles with understanding her feelings and trying to express them throughout ''Code: Embryo''. By the time she has fully realized that she is in love with Touya [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice she has to stay in the Boundary to seal the Wadatsumi Gate]] and can only give him what she thinks will be a LastKiss before [[RetGone erasing herself from reality]]]]. After she [[spoiler:returns to life and regains her memories, she is too preoccupied trying to prevent his death. She also has to hide her memories, and thus the feelings she built up, since he does not remember her ([[WistfulAmnesia at least consciously]]), which prevents her from acting on her feelings.]].

* ZettaiRyouki: Grade D in her {{Seifuku}} and Grade A in her main ''Lost: Memories'' outfit.

* {{Seifuku}}: Wears one while attending Hakuo North Academy.

Kuon is a student at the Magic School in the Magical City of Ishana and comes from the distinguished Stroheim family. She has a strong sense of justice and sometimes jumps to conclusions, which has earned her the fearful appelation of “Fire Empress Stroheim.” She has talent rarely seen in the modern Magic Guild and is expected to join the Ten Sages.

* GirlishPigtails: Her long hair is tied into 2 pigtails.
* HairDecoration: Her hair decoration on the back of her head is the same as the crystal on Ragna's right arm.
* LastSecondChance: Every encounter she has with Sechs, she would give him one last chance to go back to Ishana and face his crimes, otherwise she will use [[spoiler:Izayoi]] to seal him away. [[spoiler:She eventually stops trying near the end of every route and makes the decision to seal him away. In her own route, she prioritizes Touya's safety and goes off on her own to defeat her brother to prevent him from following him to Ishana.]]

* PowerAtAPrice: The price that one pays to use the [[spoiler:Izayoi]] is the same as in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', [[spoiler:it causes the one to use it to go blind.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Claims to be this. [[spoiler:He's trying to prevent mankind from destroying itself by effectively controlling the mind of everyone on the planet.]]

-> [[spoiler: She was kidnapped at a young age by the Mitsurugi Agency and forced to become the Embryo, which gives her the power of Phenomenon Intervention. Since she was not fully tempered because of the Original Grimoire going out of control she does not have control of her powers and unconsciously uses them to reset time, creating a GroundhogDayLoop throughout ''Code: Embryo''. At the end of Es’s route, the true ending, Unomaru successfully completes the Embryo, but Sechs attacks her and drops her into the Boundary. However, Hinata is able to transfer the Embryo to Es, who inherits its true power and saves Hinata by returning her to the Himezuru residence and erasing her memories of being the Embryo]].

* AmnesiacGod: [[spoiler: She is a half-complete Embryo meaning she can use [[RealityWarper Phenomenon Intervention]] and is the cause of the GroundhogDayLoop. However she doesn’t know this and resets the world unconsciously when she doesn’t like what happens, mainly Touya dying, or even when she dies. In her route she awakens to the Embryo consciously but resets herself along with the world. When she is tempered she learns the truth but after receiving the Embryo Es teleports her back home and erases her memories of being the Embryo]].
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: Subverted. It appeared that her status as the Embryo meant she was created by the Mitsurugi Agency, similar to Es. In truth, she was kidnapped at a young age by the scientists and was experimented on to become the Embryo]].

* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: After giving the Embryo to her, Es returns Hinata to the Himezuru residence without any memories of being the Embryo and none of the powers she previously had]].
* CannotKeepASecret: She doesn’t even remember she’s supposed to keep secrets. She nearly reveals Touya’s Union fighting to [[spoiler: the amnesiac Es]] several times before catching herself and [[YouDidntSeeThat telling]] [[spoiler: [[YouDidntSeeThat her]]]] [[YouDidntSeeThat to ignore what she just said]].

* DreamingTheTruth: In her Memory Fragments she tells Yuki about a strange, fairytale-like dream she had. [[spoiler: It is about her past that she cannot remember, where she was kidnapped by scientists and experimented on to become the Embryo and the suffering she went through. She also mentions the one kind scientist and his son who became her OnlyFriend but died]].
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness[=/=]EmptyEyes: [[spoiler: After Unomaru [[WouldHitAGirl Unomaru beats her]] and forces her to remember being the Embryo, her eyes become dull before turning into Azure Eyes. They continue to be this as she is plugged into the T-System]].
* EscapedFromTheLab: [[spoiler: The original Touya tries to help her do this but right before they get out he [[IllGIrl collapses due to the strain of the escape attempt]]. Rather then leave on her own, she gives up on escape by alerting the scientists so they can help Touya. He dies anyway. She eventually does escape… [[NiceJobBreakingItHero after causing the Wadatsumi Incident and killing all the scientists who were keeping her trapped]]]].
* {{Expy}}: She's Manami Tamura in everything but name, except that she lives with the protagonist and [[spoiler: she's not the Big Bad]]. Also one for Noel [[spoiler: since her real nature and her backstory]] makes them really alike.
* EyeColourChange: [[spoiler: From brown to [[OccultBlueEyes Azure]] then back to brown]].
* FearOfThunder: [[InformedAttribute Informed]]. [[AllThereInTheManual her profile says she is]] but it never comes up in the games.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: She is the most feminine, cutesy member of the cast. She is also a SupremeChef

* HarmfulToMinors: [[spoiler: When she was very young (6 years old at the latest) she was suddenly kidnapped by the Mitsurugi Agency for creating the Embryo. Whenever she failed to open the Gate [[note]]as she described it from her [[DreamingTheTruh dream]] she was just told that there was a girl on the other side of a door and Hinata had to somehow get the girl to talk to her and open the door[[/note]] the scientists would beat her]].
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: A down side of being an [[AllLovingHero All-Loving Heroine]] is that she tries to see the best in everyone, sometimes even twisting people’s words and actions into a positive meaning despite said person’s actual intentions. This most noticeable with her seeing [[spoiler: Unomaru as a good person and letting him in despite him acting very suspicious and Touya explicitly telling her not to open the door for anyone. She gets herself kidnapped, beaten and nearly killed for this]].
* HumanResources: [[spoiler: The Embryo was created to be the core of the [[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood T-system]]. Hinata’s role is to be plugged into the machine and act as a power source for it by continuously drawing seithr from the Gate, possibly [[AndIMustScream while she’s still conscious]]]].
* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler: Like Touya, she doesn’t remember anything before the Wadatsumi Incident, specifically being the Embryo. Her case is worse however since she doesn’t even remember her name, she was given the name Hinata by Yuki]].
* TheIngenue: She is impossibly kind and very innocent. She has no idea why Touya is blushing and claiming [[BlatantLies he didn’t see anything]] when he remembers [[spoiler: seeing Es naked when she revives in the restricted district, despite her clearly knowing that Touya carried Es all the way to the house with only his jacket covering her]].

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler: After inhering the Embryo, Es reconstructs Hinata’s physical body that she lost in the Boundary and transported her back to the Himezuru residence with her memories of being the Embryo erased]].
* LivingMacGuffin: [[spoiler: Being the [[TitleDrop eponymous]] ''Code: Embryo'' and the source of the [[GroundhogDayLoop time loop]], she is central to all the villains’ plans. Unomaru wants her to complete the T-system while Sechs wants to kill her after she opens the Gate so he can end the time loop and flood the world with seithr. The only reason Touya is also a LivingMacGuffin is because his Original Grimoire is needed to complete their true goal of tempering the Embryo]].

* {{Meganekko}}: Wears a large pair of round circle glasses to fit with her more homely look. [[spoiler: She loses them when she [[{{Stripperiffic}} awakens as the Embryo]], although not by choice. [[FridgeBrilliance Also because glasses are probably unnecessary when you have the Azure Eyes that give you the Power of God to see all]]]].
* MegatonPunch: Seems to do this instinctually whenever she is scared. In the haunted house exhibit she does this to the two slime-covered zombies ([[ButtMonkey actually Touya and Akira who got covered in slime due to one of Mei’s traps]]) and then trashes the room.
* MoralityPet: To [[spoiler: the Drive-Infected Akira. Despite his deteriorating mental state he still cares for her and threatens to turn on Acht is she doesn’t release Hinata]].

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: After Ryouko Kagari shuts down the T-system, Hinata, in an attempt to revive the original Touya, uses the power of the Embryo to control the Original Grimoire to have it grant this wish. This sort of works, but only by sending the Original Grimoire out of control, causing it to absorb the souls of everyone in the lab and the surrounding area as a power source so it can turn itself into a clone of Touya. The result of this is the tragic Wadatsumi Incident and the increased Union epidemic that would continue for ten years]].

* OccultBlueEyes: [[spoiler: The Azure Eyes she has as the awakened Embryo]].
* OnlyFriend: [[spoiler: The original Touya during her time in the Wadatsumi Laboratory. Ryouko Kagari, who was entirely against the creation of the T-system, and her son, who was in the lab so she could try to find a cure dying because of his Drive, were the only people who treated her kindly or even as a human being and playing with him was the only happiness she had. She sacrificed her chance at freedom to try and save him and when that fails well… see NiceJobBreakingItHero]].
* OutOfClothesExperience: [[spoiler: When Sechs drops her into the Boundary she loses her physical body but her spirit is able to reach out to Es. She tells Es to close her eyes and focus on Hinata so she can appear in her mind and transfer the Embryo. [[{{Fanservice}} For some reason]] she is completely naked during this]].
* NotBloodSiblings: Zig-zagged. She and Touya live together and Yuki is both their legal guardian but it only seems like Hinata was properly adopted into the Himezuru family, since Touya keeps his last name and feels he has to pay rent. Hinata often says that that they are family despite not being related by blood but neither of them refer to each other as brother or sister.
* PromotedToParent: Sort of. While her adoptive older sister Yuki is Hinata and Touya’s legal guardian and is still around caring for them, she is rarely around since her job takes up all her time. As such Hinata took a sort of parental role around the house. She did all the housework as well as the cooking becoming something like the mother of the house even though she is younger than Yuki.
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: The Embryo gives her the power of Phenomenon Intervention, letting her change past events to change the present or just undo them to reset the world to a previous time. She isn’t aware of this power and can’t control it so all she can do is reset time to the beginning of the game after tragedy occurs in the hope of getting a happy ending, which results in a GroundhogDayLoop until she gives the Embryo to Es]].
* ResetButton: [[spoiler: She’s the one who keeps pressing it]].

* {{Stripperific}}: [[spoiler: When she is plugged into the T-system after awakening as the Embryo, although almost certainly not by her own choice. Her “outfit” is just metal sheets that wrap around her legs and arms but cover none of her torso aside from her [[NippleAndDimed nipples]]. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking She also loses her glasses]]]].

* TeamMom: She is the only one who can end any and all conflict within the main cast. She is able to instantly end an argument between [[VitriolicBestBuds Kuon and Mei]] and force them to make up. Touya is forced admit that she is the strongest out of all of them, since no one could put up a fight against her, much less defeat her.
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: Unomaru beats her and tells her more about the Wadatsumi Incident to trigger her memories, causing her to remember being the Embryo and awaken to it’s power]].

* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: Her being the host of them Embryo is one of the biggest spoilers in ''Code: Embryo'', making it all but impossible to talk about any role she has in the plot]].

Kuon is a student at the Magic School in the Magical City of Ishana and comes from the distinguished Stroheim family. She has a strong sense of justice and sometimes jumps to conclusions, which has earned her the fearful appelation of “Fire Empress Stroheim.” She has talent rarely seen in the modern Magick Guild and is expected to join the Ten Saints.

[[spoiler: She is actually Marcelyn F. Mercury, who also the member of the Legendary Ten Saints, under the title Zwei.]]

Elise is an emissary from the Magick Guild. After not hearing from her best friend in a while she volunteered to investigate. Despite appearances, she’s a real tough cookie.

Nearly always wearing a black cloak, Avenge’s true face is rarely ever seen. He is well aware of the serial killer: Ripper, and is hunting him down. Although Avenge knows magic and is associated with it, he never uses it for some unknown reason. He has some sort of connection with the Mitsurugi Institution and the Drive-Progressor Union.

[[spoiler:Soichiro]] is director of Research Institute Seven of the Mitsurugi Sector’s Neo Yokosaki Branch and is responsible for the regulation, protection, and management of D-Progressors. He also issues commands to Es and picks out her cute outfits.

* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:of Hazama/Yuuki Terumi. Even Sechs referred him as a "Snake".]]

A sadistic serial killer working under the alias of “Ripper", he has killed many elites of the Magic Guild and is wanted world wide. He is classed as an SS grade criminal, sharing this grade with Ragna the Bloodedge. Ripper is also one of the rare Drive-Progressors and has been on the run from the Mitsurugi Institute for over ten years but unlike every other Drive-Progressor, Ripper’s spirit hasn’t been contaminated by his Crystal and thus, he shows no irregularities.

A young woman who is adept in the magical arts, Acht is eight in the Ten Saints. She once studied with Sechs and grew to love and respect him; No matter what his aims are, she trusts him and lives for him alone. Acht is a confident young woman she is brilliant at human psychology, easily being able to read emotions that lurk deep within people.

A member of the Ten Saints who has the number 3. He is also a philospher in discussing what is correct for the Ten Saints to do. He has a serious nature, and likes to figure out what to do during a makeshift power struggle regardless of loyalty. Once Sechs was accepted into the Ten Saints, Drei began to feel a little fanatic for some apparent reason.

A Magician with the title of 6 in the Ten Saints, Sechs is a magical genius who was chosen to be a Saint at the mere age of 18. He has a vast amount of skills and his knowledge in the fields of magic are incredible; he is well known for being one of the first to explore magic-induced gravity fields. Sechs also has a strong relationship with Acht, but whether her feelings are reciprocated or not is unknown.

* FallenHero: He was once one of the Ten Saints.

* BoobsOfSteel: Quite busty for a small girl and the only one of the playable characters who specializes in melee combat (Kuon also does melee but only in occasion; she uses magic more).

* LuminescentBlush: A major one when [[spoiler:she remembers her FirstKiss with Touya]]. She runs away from the dinner table embarrassed because [[spoiler:she just remembered that she loves Touya, as well as regaining all her other memories, and felt awkward being around him when those feelings suddenly emerged.

* {{Expy}}: She's Manami Tamura in everything but name, except that she lives with the protagonist and [[spoiler: she's not the Big Bad]]. Also one for Noel [[since her real nature and her backstory]] makes them really alike.

* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: One of the biggest in the franchise. She’s so unflappably nice that no one feels like they can argue against her and even Mei, [[Tsundere who instinctively shouts at everyone even when she doesn’t mean to]], is able to rein herself in when talking to Hinata.

* {{Expy}}: Of Lambda-11; similar facial structure, hairstyle and personality. She also wields the Murakumo. Role-wise, she also takes after [[FateStayNight Saber]].

Hinata is the second daughter of the Himezuru family. She’s calm and gentle toward everyone, and is always having fun. She’s responsible for most of the housework since her sister is lazy, but she doesn’t mind because she enjoys it.

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:She was one of the test subjects for the Embryo tempering.]]
* {{Expy}}: She's [[LightNovel/{{Oreimo}} Manami Tamura]] in everything but name [[spoiler: and species]], except that she lives with the protagonist and [[spoiler: she's not the BigBad]]. Also one for Noel since [[spoiler:her real nature and circumstances of her "birth"]] makes them really alike.
* {{Meganekko}}: She wears glasses.

** She also one of Rachel, mainly in design. They are both blonde, considered very beautiful and, because they are short, are said to have a doll-like appearance and often [[PimpedOutDress wear fancy dresses]]. They both serve as the {{Herald}} to the protagonist thus beginning his journey and are both in love with him (although it's just very heavily implied in case for Rachel). The similarities become more prominent in ''Lost: Memories'' with both of them [[spoiler: being forced to repeatedly watch the person they love die tragically no matter how many times the events repeated, unable to take action to save them]]. They also both have a connection to [[spoiler: Tsukuyomi]].

*

* ResetButton: [[spoiler:She pressed it countless times offscreen to try and prevent Touya from being killed by Freaks, creating another GroundhogDayLoop. However, no matter how many times she tried, it always ended in tragedy, causing her to fall into despair.

* OutOfClothesExperience: [[spoiler:She is naked along with Hinata during the Embryo transfer for an inside the Boundary after creating the World of Tsukuyomi. She is only naked some of the time though as she is still wearing her normal clothes when she searches the Boundary for Amaterasu and meets with Touya for the last time. This might explain why Nobody’s design is so {{Stripperiffic}}.]]

-> [[spoiler: In truth the real Touya Kagari died before the Wadatsumi Incident, due to developing a Drive when he was to young to handle it. The current Touya is the result of Hinata using the Embryo to turn the Original Grimoire into a clone of the real Touya and the true cause of the Wadatsumi Incident. The current Touya inherits the Drive that killed the original, the ability to turn his own blood into weapons, most likely [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Bloodedge]]]].

* [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And Then Touya Was The Black Beast]]: In several of ''Code: Embryo’s'' [[BadEnding bad endings]] he goes into an UnstoppableRage, loseing control of the Original Grimoire and becoming a Black Beast.

* ArtifactOfDoom: The Original Grimoire inside of him. It draws on the power of the Black Beast in the Boundary and is complete unlike Ragna’s Azure Grimoire.

* BerserkButton: While he hates seeing anyone close to him hurt, he seems to react even more violently when something happens to Hinata. In the two [[BadEnding bad endings]] where he turns into the Black Beast, either Hinata is [[KillTheCutie killed by Ripper]] or [[spoiler: he discovers that she is the Embryo]].

* {{BFS}}: Wields the insanely long Murakumo from the climax of ''Code: Embryo'' onward. [[spoiler: When Es takes it back, he uses his Drive to create a replica of the Murakumo out of his own blood]].

* BloodyMurder: [[spoiler: The original Touya’s Drive let him shape his blood into weapons. The current Touya inherits this ability in the climax of ''Lost: Memories''. While it is never named, it is very likely this Drive is the same as [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Naoto’s]], Bloodedge]].

* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: When Touya returns home after his first encounter with a Union he finds Es already waiting for him before Mei and Unomaru come to investigate him. Es is then assigned to be his protect/keep surveillance on him before Unomaru guilt trips him into working with the Mitsurugi Agency.

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler: The original Touya tied 10 years ago at age 6. During the the experiment to temper the Embryo Hinata used it’s power to try and revive her OnlyFriend. This caused turned the Original Grimoire into a clone of Touya, but also caused the Wadatsumi Incident due to the Original Grimoire going berserk and using Soul Eater to steal the souls necessary to complete its transformation]].
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Due to a combination of his SurvivorGuilt and his only memory of his mother telling him to “Protect,” Touya will rush in to try and stop any fight he sees. In the past he would intervene when Akira would get into fights and in the present he tries to gets involved in the Union fights at great personal risk, even stepping in to protect [[spoiler: a violent Drive-Infected Akira]] from Es.
* CombinationAttack: [[spoiler: He and Es defeat Freaks by charging him from opposite sides and slashing his Crystal at the same time]].
* CoolSword: The Vow Crystal Seal Blade: Murakumo [[spoiler: and the version of it made of [[BloodyMurder his blood]]]].
* CovertPervert: While he in general seems pretty good about avoiding this, there are a couple of times where this is called into question. When he accidentally ends up spying on Es and Hinata in the bath, he stops and watches them for quite a while before he realizes he should leave. In ''Lost: Memories'', when he encounters [[spoiler: the [[NakedOnRevival revived naked Es]]]], his gaze ([[POVCam which is shown from his perspective]]) lingers on her chest for just a bit too long before he looks away and [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn tells her to wear his jacket]]. Although this might be due to him [[spoiler: suffering a case of WistfulAmnesia when seeing her]] and him being too shocked to look away.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: Unlocks [[SuperMode XBlaze]] to fight Sechs in the climax of ''Code: Embryo'' and [[spoiler: his Drive]] while fighting [[spoiler: Freaks]] in the climax of ''Lost: Memories''.

* EnergyAbsorption: The Original Grimoire can absorb and store the seithr around him, either passively or stealing it with Restriction Release (Soul Eater). [[spoiler: It is strong enough to let him destroy the Wadatsumi Gate and absorb all of the seithr it released]].

* HeroesPreferSwords: Inherits Es' weapon, Vow Crystal Seal Blade: Murakumo at the end of ''Code: Embryo'' [[spoiler: and continues to use one after she reclaims it, since he makes a replica of it with his Drive]].
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: He freaks out when he learns that he is just a clone made from the Original Grimoire, [[CloningBlues questioning his existence and the value of his life]]. Mei is able to convince him that he is still Touya and helps him accept it]].

* LivingMacguffin: All of the villains target him since the Original Grimoire is necessary to [[spoiler: finish tempering the Embryo]].
* LuminescentBlush: Whenever he ends up in an AccidentalPervert incident. The most noticeable one is in ''Lost: Memories'' where, the day after he [[spoiler: carried the newly human and naked Es back to the Himezuru residence, Es thanks him for helping her. This causes him to remember seeing her naked, making him blush and [[BlatantLies claim he didn’t see anything]]. [[TheIngenue Hinata]] has no idea why he is blushing or what he is talking about]].
* ManaDrain: Restriction Release (Soul Eater) can also steal seithr. When he first releases it [[spoiler: he steals all of the seithr stored in Ripper’s Crystal, weakening him to the point where Avenge can easily finish him off]].

* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: [[spoiler: When he finds Es in the Restricted Ward after she revives, at first he is confused about [[WistfulAmnesia how he knows her name]]. He then realizes she is naked. [[POVCam we see how he reacts from his perspective]], first awkwardly staring at her chest in shock for a few seconds before closing his eyes and then telling her to put on his jacket]].
* PowerDegeneration: [[spoiler: The original Touya developed a Drive at age 6, but the power is too much for someone that young and it makes him incredibly weak before it kills him when he tries to leave the Wadatsumi Laboratory with Hinata]].
* PrettyFreeloaders: He works at Maha☆Raja~ because he wants to avert this. Yuki keeps telling him he doesn’t need to since they are basically family, but he insists on paying rent.

* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler: Because Hinata used the power of the Embryo to wish for her OnlyFriend, the original Touya, to come back to life, the Original Grimoire became a clone of him to be this for her. Since Hinata loses her memory from before the Wadatsumi Incident, she doesn’t even know he replaced anyone]].

* SecondYearProtagonist: In class 2B of Hakuo North Academy

* ShapingYourAttacks: [[spoiler: His Drive, most likely Bloodedge, lets him shape his blood into weapons. He creates a copy of the Murakumo after Es returns and reclaims it]].

* SoleSurvivor: The only person left alive after the Wadatsumi Incident [[spoiler: that he knows of; Hinata, Unomaru and Avenge also survived]].

* StarCrossedLovers: With Es. [[spoiler: Es confesses her feelings for him after inheriting the Embryo and [[FirstKiss kisses]] him but she has to stay in the Boundary and [[RetGone erases herself from the timeline]]. However, this is subverted in ''Lost: Memories'' where Es returns as a human and they can be together, working alongside each other under Mei in the Shin Yokozaki Mitsurugi Agency]].
* SummonToHand: Apparently an ability of the Vow Crystal Seal Blade: Murakumo. It materializes in his hands before he fights [[spoiler: Freaks]].

* TakeUpMySword: After Sechs [[spoiler: near fatally wounds Es and drops her into the Boundary]], Touya picks up the Murakumo to fight Sechs in her place.

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: The real Touya Kagari died in the Wadatsumi Laboratory before the Wadatsumi Incident. The current one is the Original Grimoire given human form by Hinata using the Embryo in an attempt to revive the original]].

* TwiceShy: With Es. He can’t tell how she feels due to her being an EmotionlessGirl and later [[spoiler: he cannot consciously remember her so he is unsure of his own feelings]].
* UnstoppableRage: Unless you want to face the full power of the of the Black Beast, don’t piss him off. If your lucky he’ll just drain all of the seithr from your body, leaving you incredibly weak. Otherwise he might absorb everything, including your soul and turn into the Black Beast, causing the EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

* WhatTheHellHero: The only time he gets made at someone who isn’t evil is when Es suggests leaving Hinata, who has been kidnapped by Acht, so they can escape and then tries to [[ShootTheHostage kill Acht with Hinata still in the way]]. He is absolutely furious that she would even consider [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind sacrificing Hinata so they could escape]] yelling at her for only caring about saving him and telling her to stay away from him since he can’t even stand looking at her face after what she did.
* WistfulAmnesia: At the end of ''Code: Embryo'' [[spoiler: after Es [[RetGone removes herself from the timeline]] Touya starts crying, feeling that someone is missing but he doesn’t know why]]. In ''Lost: Memories'' he visits the Restricted Ward where he first encountered a Union [[spoiler: he reminisces about the even but realizes he can’t remember who it was that saved him. Afterwards, when he finds the now human Es, he calls out her name despite not actually remembering her. It is unclear whether or not he regained his memories of her by the end of the game]].

-> The main heroine of ''Code: Embryo'' [[spoiler: and the true protagonist of ''Lost: Memories'']]. She is a Manifest Boundary Contact Prime Field Device, an ArtificialHuman created by Unomaru to work for the Mitsurugi Agency, in which she is a member of the Counter-Psychica Soldier Unit, Sleipnir. [[spoiler: Her true purpose, as the Embryo Storage, is to house the Embryo and control its power]].

-> After rescuing Touya, Unomaru assigns her to act as his bodyguard. She moves in to the Himezuru residence and transfers into his class so she can guard him at all times. Since has no experience outside of combat, she is initially very quiet and emotionless, but the wider range of experiences she has while guarding Touya allow her to begin acting more human. She wields the Vow Crystal Seal Blade: Murakumo, a Legacy Weapon that can easily destroy a Union’s Crystal.

* ArtificialHuman: She is a Manifest Boundary Contact Prime Field Device, in a similar vein as [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Nu, Lambda and Noel]], although they are not designed to explore the Boundary. [[spoiler: Their true purpose is to contain the Embryo]].
* BadassAdorable: An agent of the Mitsurugi Agency who regularly fights against the super-powered Unions with a {{BFS}}. She is also a short RobotGirl who becomes more and more cute as she develops emotions, from her obsession with pudding, to her love of {{Toku}}.
* BadassNormal: [[spoiler: By the end of ''Lost: Memories'' she is a [[BecomeARealBoy normal human]] and she used up all of the Phantom Memories that powered her XBlaze. She is still able to effortlessly swing around [[{{BFS}} Murakumo]] and easily throw a man much larger than her. Mei thinks she somehow has SuperStrength while she claims it is just an understanding of leverage]].
* BarrierMaiden: [[spoiler: After becoming the Embryo, she uses most of its power to create the World of Tsukuyomi, which would eventually become the Phantom Field, a buffer dimension between the real world and the Boundary that stops the Wadatsumi Gate from flooding the world with seithr. The Embryo is needed to maintain the Tsukuyomi so Es cannot leave the Boundary, even to save Touya from being killed by Freaks. Watashi comes up with a plan to [[TakeAThirdOption separate her from the Embryo by sending her memories and soul into a newly created human body, allowing the Embryo to maintain the World of Tsukuyomi while she returns to the XBlaze timeline and saves her friends]]]].
* [[BecomeARealBoy Become A Real Girl]]: [[spoiler: Watashi is able to use her XBlaze convert the seithr in the Phantom Field and Nobody’s Phantom Memories into a human body for Es and then send it along with her memories to a few days before Touya and the others get killed by Freaks, returning Es to the timeline as a human while leaving her Prime Field body as an EmptyShell containing the Embryo]].
* BeyondTheImpossible: In VideoGame/BlazBlue it is impossible to the locate the Master Unit Amaterasu without the Eye of the Azure. [[spoiler: After receiving the Embryo, Es is able to reach it at the center of the Boundary by hearing its unique Discover Call]].

* BoobsOfSteel: The bustiest of the heroines and the only one who specializes in melee combat.

* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: She is turned into a normal human and even the Phantom Memory: XBlaze power-up is only temporary. [[BadassNormal This doesn’t slow her down in the slightest]]]].

* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: At the end of ''Code: Embryo'' Es must remain in the Boundary to seal the Wadatsumi Gate and prevent the Embryo from causing any more distortions. She is able to return in ''Lost: Memories'']].

* CaughtTheHeartOnHisSleeve: In the aftermath of [[spoiler: the fight with Akira]], before Es leaves to report to Unomaru she stops Touya by grabbing his sleeve to apologize for trying to abandon Hinata, after which they finally make up.
* CombinationAttack: [[spoiler: She and Touya defeat Freaks by charging him from opposite sides and slashing his Crystal at the same time]].
* ContraltoOfDanger: [[spoiler: When she activates her XBlaze to fight against Freaks]] her voice gets noticeably lower to show how [[LetsGetDangerous serious she is]] about [[spoiler: killing him]].

* CrushBlush: Towards Touya [[spoiler: after she regains her memories]].

* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: She has blonde hair and yellow eyes. [[spoiler: Subverted after she inherits the Embryo and her eyes turn blue, then zig-zagged when she becomes human with only her right eye being yellow and finally double-subverted at the end of ''Lost: Memories'' when she loses the XBlaze and her left eye also changes back to yellow]].

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Touya, Kuon, Mei and Elise getting killed by Freaks, no matter how many times she tried to change the events with Phenomenon Intervention and being unable to directly help, caused her to fall into despair. To deal with the heartbreak, she separates herself from her memories, turning them into Memory Fragments, which she scattered throughout the World of Tsukuyomi, becoming Nobody and creating the Phantom Field in the process]].

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: She inherits the Embryo from Hinata and, after coming into contact with the Master Unit, gains full control of its power of Phenomenon Intervention]]. Also, [[spoiler: During the final battle with Freaks, her left eye opens, revealing it has the remaining Phantom Memories Watashi used to return her to the XBlaze timeline. This lets Es use the Phantom Memory: XBlaze, negating the LifeDrain of Freaks’s XBlaze and giving her the power to team up with Touya to finish him off]].
* {{Expy}}: Of Lambda-11; similar facial structure, hairstyle and personality. She also wields the Murakumo.
** She also one of Rachel, mainly in design. They are both considered very beautiful and, because they are short, are said to have a doll-like appearance and often [[PimpedOutDress wear fancy dresses]] that make them [[ElegantGothicLolita Elegant Gothic Lolitas]]. They both serve as the {{Herald}} to the protagonist thus beginning his journey and are both in love with him. This becomes more prominent in ''Lost: Memories'' since both of them [[spoiler: being forced to repeatedly watch the person they love die tragically no matter how many times the events repeated, unable to take action to save them]]. They also both have a connection to [[spoiler: Tsukuyomi]].
* EyeColourChange: Her eyes turn blue when she [[spoiler: inherits the completed Embryo]]. They return to yellow after she [[spoiler: returns as a normal human]].
* EyepatchAfterTimeSkip: After she [[spoiler: is turned into a normal human and returns to the XBlaze timeline]] she cannot open her left eye so Hinata gives her a white eyepatch to cover it.
** EyepatchOfPower: [[spoiler: Es needs the eyepatch because her left eye has Nobody’s Phantom Memories sealed inside it. Her eye finally opens after Freaks cuts off the eyepatch, allowing her to use Watashi’s XBlaze]].
* FakingAmnesia: [[spoiler: Even after regaining her memories post-revival, Es keeps up the act. She does this because she also remembers that [[LaserGuidedAmnesia no one can remember her]] so they wouldn’t believe her is she told them who she really is. She seems to have told at least Touya and Mei sometime after the battle with Freaks, since Mei her being born because of the Wadatsumi Incident]].
* FirstGirlWins: Not counting Hinata, who is a case of LikeBrotherAndSister, she is the first of heroines to meet Touya and the one who starts his journey. Her route is the canon ending and [[spoiler: her and Touya become StarCrossedLovers]], at least until [[spoiler: she returns to life as a human and reunites with Touya, working together with him in Mei’s new orgination, where it is heavily implied they will get together]].
* FirstKiss: [[spoiler: With Touya while she is speaking to him in the Boundary after becoming the Embryo. It was also supposed to be a LastKiss, before the returned in ''Lost: Memories''. Remembering this kiss is the key that unlocks the rest of her memories]].
* FlawedPrototype: She is the first Manifest Boundary Contact Prime Field Device to actually work, but she did not [[spoiler: inherit the Embryo]] like Unomaru wanted. The Es-N units that come after her are fully robotic, in body and mind, and can manipulate the flow of seithr with their swords. She also needs regular maintenance to keep functioning.
* FunWithAcronyms: [[spoiler: Embryo Storage, as she was initially created to hold the Embryo]].
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Despite being a Prime Field, merely used as Unomaru’s subordinate, her time with Touya and the Himezuru’s helped her develop human emotions and eventually experience love. [[spoiler: This reaches its logical conclusion when she [[BecomeARealBoy fully becomes human]]]].

* HeelFaceBrainwashing: [[spoiler: In Kuon and Mei’s routes, Unomaru deletes her memories of her time with Touya, resetting her to her personality at the beginning of the game who is wholly loyal to Unomaru and works with the Mitsurugi Agency to try and capture Touya]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: She chooses to remain in the Boundary after becoming the Embryo since, despite her desire to stay with Touya, the Embryo’s existence causes distortions in the world and she is the only one who can stop the opened Wadatsumi Gate from flooding the world with seithr]].
* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler: When she returns to live she initially has no memories except for her own and Touya’s names, only remembering certain things over time. She fully regains her memory after eating pudding, reminding her of how she contextualized love, and triggering her memory of her FirstKiss with Touya which is the key to unlocking all her memories]].

* {{Invocation}}: [[spoiler: “Phantom Intervention Complex Formation, deploy! PHANTOM MEMORY! XBLAZE!]]
* ItOnlyWorksOnce: [[spoiler: She loses her Phantom Memory: XBlaze after using it to defeat Freaks. Justified because the XBlaze was only powered by Nobody’s Phantom Memories, and activating it used them all up]].

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Near the end of Kuon and Mei’s routes, [[spoiler: Unomaru removes her memories of her time with Touya and the Himezuru family]]. Later [[spoiler: when she returns to the real world it takes a while for her memories from the Memory Fragments to fully integrate with her human body. This leavines her with no memory until a discussion about love unlocks her memory of her kissing Touya which is such a strong memory it brings them all back]]. [[RuleOfThree Happens again]] when she [[spoiler: activates her XBlaze. Since it is powered by Nobody’s Phantom Memories, she sees them and is able to remember her best friend, Watashi]].

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler: After returning without her memory, Touya tries to do this by hiding his work hunting Unions, saying he and Mei work together at a store and he keeps leaving at night due to sudden emergencies. Even before she regains her memories and Hinata [[CannotKeepASecret accidentally reveals it]] Es doesn’t by his excuses]].

* LoveHurts: The pain from this that she can’t understand leads to her understanding that her feelings for Touya are love. [[spoiler: Seeing him die and being unable to stop it causes her to cross the DespairEventHorizon and remove her memories in order to escape from the pain]].

* LuminescentBlush: A major one when [[spoiler: she remembers her FirstKiss with Touya]]. She runs away from the dinner table embarrassed because [[spoiler: she just remembered that she loves Touya, as well as regaining all her other memories, and felt awkward being around him when those feelings suddenly emerged.
* MagicalEye: [[spoiler: As a human, her sealed left eye contains all of Nobody’s remaining Phantom Memories. Just like Watashi, Es used the seithr contained in the memories to activate the Phantom Memory: XBlaze]].

* MismatchedEyes: [[spoiler: When she becomes human, here right eye returns to being amber while her sealed left eye is still Blue, due to it containing her XBlaze. After she uses it both eyes return to being yellow however]].
* MsFanservice: Of the heroines. She has [[BuxomIsBetter the largest bust]] and is the most frequently seen naked, having multiple [[OutOfClothesExperience Out of Clothes Experiences]], especially in ''Lost: Memories’s'' opening theme, being naked when Mei tries to heal her, having two [[FuroScene bath scenes]] and being [[spoiler: NakedOnRevival]].

* NakedOnRevival: [[spoiler: When Touya finds her now human body in the Restricted Ward, she is completely naked. Justified, since that body was created by Watashi and didn’t exist before Touya found her, so she could not have gotten any clothes]].
** NakedFirstImpression: Although technically it is more of a naked second impression due to [[spoiler: Touya not consciously remembering Es]].

* NoNudityTaboo: Again due to RobotGirl. She forcibly strips Touya, to see if he has a Crystal on his body, with no reservation.

* OccultBlueEyes: [[spoiler: Due to her gaining the Embryo, like with [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Mu-12]] it is a sign of her possessing the power of the Azure]].
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: According to the [[AllThereInTheManual Tips]], the Murakumo chooses its wielder and if you’re not chosen, no force in the world can make it move. This might explain Es claims that the sword is lighter than Mei thinks when she is questioned about [[spoiler: having SuperStrength since she is able to easily wield it despite supposedly being a normal human]]; Mei can’t lift it so she doesn’t know how much it weighs.
* OutOfClothesExperience: [[spoiler: She is naked along with Hinata during the Embryo transfer for an inside the Boundary after creating the World of Tsukuyomi. She is only naked some of the time though as she is still wearing her normal clothes when she searches the Boundary for Amaterasu and meets with Touya for the last time. This might explain why Nobody’s design is so {{Stripperiffic}}.
* PantyShot: Gets an upskirt shot when [[spoiler: she and Touya charge at Freaks together]]. For the record, [[spoiler: they’re black]].
* PickYourHumanHalf: Of the looks human but acts robotic variety. Subverted after CharacterDevelopment makes her act human as well [[spoiler: and then completely averted when she becomes human both in body and personality]].

* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: With the complete Embryo she gains the power of Phenomenon Intervention, letting her change the past and undo events]].
* ResetButton: [[spoiler: She pressed it countless times offscreen to try and prevent Touya from being killed by Freaks, creating another GroundhogDayLoop. However, no matter how many times she tried, it always ended in tragedy, causing her to fall into despair.
* RetGone: [[spoiler: Erases herself from the timeline when she stays in the Boundary as the Embryo, both to stop the Embryo’s existence from causing distortions and to keep her friends from trying to bring her back despite the risk. While her actions remain, no one can remember that she was there, although Touya does experience some WistfulAmnesia. It is unclear whether or not this is still in effect as of the end of ''Lost: Memories'']].
* RoboSpeak: Speaks like this initially. Even after she develops a more human personality [[spoiler: and even becomes human]] she still has hints of this, rarely raising her voice and still speaking [[SpockSpeak very formally]].
* RobotGirl: Chronologically, the first of many in the whole [[VideoGame/BlazBlue]] series. She is a Manifest Boundary Contact Prime Field Device, created to [[spoiler: house the Embryo]]. She was also seemingly made to explore the Boundary once the Wadatsumi Gate was opened since [[spoiler: she was able to survive being thrown into the Boundary and even traverse it to find the Master Unit]].
* SchoolSwimsuit: Wears a white one during the [[BeachEpisode pool scene]], probably because the school issued swimwear is all she owns since she has no reason to buy one. It still manages plenty of {{Fanservice}} however, thanks to [[FormFittingWardrobe how tightly it fits around]] [[BuxomIsBetter her breasts]].
* ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler: Watashi convinces her to return to the real world so she can try one more time to save Touya and the others from Freaks. Thanks to her involvement and some help from Watashi [[EarnYourHappyEnding she succeeds]]]].
* SecretlyDying: As soon as he completes the Es-N units, Unomaru stops giving her maintenance, calling it an “endurance test.” She realizes as this goes on that her body is starting to fail and she is weakening. Mei uses her healing talismans to try and help but it only helps a little. This ends when Unomaru decides it’s more prudent to give her maintenance after [[spoiler: the battle with Akira]].

* SensorCharacter: Like Touya, she can sense the Discover Call of a Union using their Drive although she has much smaller range (only about 10 meters). [[spoiler: With the power of the Embryo this ability increases to the point where she is able to hear the Discover Call of the Master Unit Amaterasu and [[BeyondTheImpossible find it without the Eye of the Azure]]]].
* ShootTheHostage: After Acht kidnaps Hinata, she tries to convince Touya that they should abandon her and run, since Acht is too dangerous. When Touya [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind refuses to do this]] and [[LeeroyJenkins tries to run at Acht to rescue Hinata]], Es rationalizes that Touya’s life is more important than Hinata’s, since she is charged with protecting him, and attempts to kill Acht even with Hinata in the way. [[spoiler: She would have succeeded if the Drive-Infected Akira didn’t arrive and knock her unconscious]]. Needless to say, [[WhatTheHellHero Touya did not take this well]].

* SpockSpeak: All of her dialogue is very exacting and proper. At first she combines this with RoboSpeak but even after becoming more human-like [[spoiler: and even an actual human]] she still generally speaks like this and doesn’t usually raise her voice.
* StarCrossedLovers: With Touya. [[spoiler: Es confesses her feelings for him after inheriting the Embryo and [[FirstKiss kisses]] him but she has to stay in the Boundary and [[RetGone erases herself from the timeline]]. However, this is subverted in ''Lost: Memories'' where Es returns as a human and they can be together, working alongside each other Mei’s new organization]].
* SummonToHand: Apparently an ability of the Vow Crystal Seal Blade: Murakumo. It disappears from her hands when she [[spoiler: runs to the injured Kiri after killing Freaks]].
* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Her Phantom Memory: XBlaze behaves a lot like Touya’s, increasing her speed and strength to superhuman levels and letting fight evenly against Freaks]].
* SuperStrength: As a result of being a Prime Field, she can easily swing around [[{{BFS}} Murakumo]], [[InASingleBound jump incredible heights]], and easily carry around Touya, who is taller and heavier than her. [[spoiler: Mei believes she still has this even after [[BroughtDownToNormal becoming a normal human]] but she denies it, saying the Murakumo is lighter than it looks and she merely used leverage to throw a man larger than her. It is unknown who is correct]].

* ThisIsUnforgivable: She says this to [[spoiler: Freaks after picking up Murakumo again and attacking him as her XBlaze activates]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pudding. She takes this UpToEleven since eating it is her first time experiencing happiness, and her first emotion overall, so she contextualizes her emotions based on her experience of eating pudding. As such her entire concept of happiness, liking something and even love are tied into her enjoyment of pudding. [[spoiler: In fact, eating for the first time after reviving is the key to restoring her memories, as it leads to her remembering the feeling of love and in turn the memory of her kissing Touya which brings everything else with it]].

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: After Unomaru labels Touya a dangerous Union and orders her and Mei to capture him; Es turns against the Mitsurugi Agency to protect him. However this is just her acting on her alone against Unomaru’s wishes, not actualy turning against him. She doesn’t truly turns on him after he [[spoiler: Kidnaps Hinata to temper the Embryo and create the T-System]].
* TwiceShy: With Touya. She struggles with understanding her feelings and trying to express them throughout ''Code: Embryo''. By the time she has fully realized that she is in love with Touya [[spoiler: [[HeroicSacrifice she has to stay in the Boundary to seal the Wadatsumi Gate]] and can only give him what she thinks will be a LastKiss before [[RetGone erasing herself from reality]]]]. After she [[spoiler: returns to life and regains her memories, she is too preoccupied trying to prevent his death. She also has to hide her memories, and thus the feelings she built up, since he does not remember her ([[WistfulAmnesia at least consciously]]), which prevents her from acting on her feelings.]].

* WaifFu: She’s less than 5 feet tall, wears a large frilly dress and is constantly described as looking like a living doll. She can also life men much larger than her and can cut you down with ruthless efficiency.
* WalkingSpoiler: Just look at all the spoiler tags. It’s hard not to mention her [[spoiler: becoming the Embryo]] at the end of ''Code: Embryo'' and if you know that it’s even harder to avoid [[spoiler: her being in ''Lost: Memories'' at all, which spoils that she somehow returns to the real world]].

* {{Expy}}: She's [[LightNovel/{{Oreimo}} Manami Tamura]] in everything but name [[spoiler: and species]], except that she lives with the protagonist and [[spoiler: she's not the BigBad]].
* {{Megane}}: She wears glasses.

* [[MacguffinGirl Macguffin Guy]]: All of the villains target him since the Original Grimoire is necessary to [[spoiler: finish tempering the Embryo]].

** She also one of Rachel, mainly in design. They are both considered very beautiful and, because they are short, are said to have a doll-like appearance and often [[PimpedOutDress wear fancy dresses]]. They both serve as the {{Herald}} to the protagonist thus beginning his journey and are both in love with him. The similarities become more prominent in ''Lost: Memories'' with Es’s main outfit making her into an ElegantGothicLolita and both of them [[spoiler: being forced to repeatedly watch the person they love die tragically no matter how many times the events repeated, unable to take action to save them]]. They also both have a connection to [[spoiler: Tsukuyomi]].

Es is a member of the Mitsurugi Sector’s Counter-Psychica Soldier Unit, Sleipnir. She’s ignorant of subjects other than combat and isn’t very talkative. She can sense the Discover Call, a signal emitted by D-Progressors.

-> The protagonist of ''Code: Embryo''. He was the SoleSurvivor of the Wadatsumi Incident 10 years ago, in which a mysterious black storm destroyed a large part of Shin Yokozaki City, but has no memory from before the event.

* {{BFS}}: Wields the insanely long Murakumo from the climax of ''Code Embryo'' onward. [[spoiler: When Es takes it back, he uses his Drive to create a replica of the Murakumo out of his own blood]].

* BloodyMurder: [[spoiler: The original Touya’s Drive let him shape his blood into weapons. The current Touya inherits this ability in the climax of ''Lost Memories''. While it is never named, it is very likely this Drive is the same as [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Naoto’s]], Bloodedge]].

* DisappearedDad: Since he has no memory of him, Touya doesn’t know anything about his dad or what happened to him. [[spoiler: It is heavily implied in ''Lost Memories'' that Avenge is his (or rather, the original Touya’s) father]].

* LuminescentBlush: Whenever he ends up in an AccidentalPervert incident. The most noticeable one is in ''Lost Memories'' when he [[spoiler: finds the newly revived Es naked and unconscious in the Restricted Ward and has to carry her back to the Himezuru residence]].

* NonActionGuy: For most of ''Code Embryo'' he is only a SensorCharacter and doesn’t want to hurt anyone, although he is willing to jump into the fight to protect someone he cares about. Towards the end of the game he [[TookALevelInBadass takes a level in badass]] and evolves into a TechnicalPacifist.

* StarCrossedLovers: With Es. [[spoiler: Es confesses her feelings for him after inheriting the Embryo and [[FirstKiss kisses]] him but she has to stay in the Boundary and [[RetGone erases herself from the timeline]].

* TookALevelInBadass: First when he learns to unleash the Original Grimoire without losing control, which he uses to save Es from Drei with Soul Eater. Then again at the end of the game when he takes up Es’s Murakumo and activates [[SuperMode XBlaze]]. He takes an even larger one by the time of ''Lost Memories'', having trained with Mei and been hunting Unions to hone his skills.

* WistfulAmnesia: At the end of ''Code Embryo'' [[spoiler: after Es [[RetGone removes herself from the timeline]] Touya starts crying, feeling that someone is missing but he doesn’t know why]].
