One of the best Projects out there is Project Z, AKA Zenya. Leader of Squadron Z, the Program's premier [[FiveManBand team]], Zenya is a straightforward, [[{{Bifauxnen}} androgynous]] young woman who doesn't care for her superiors, but does whatever she can to ensure her comrades survive. But things soon become much more complicated when a young man named Ernest Hua arrives on the scene and declares that he is going to take down the Program by any means necessary--and working for him is Kimio, Zenya's brother, who escaped from the Program three years ago and is none too happy that his sister still hasn't changed sides....

* MeaningfulName / AlphabeticalThemeNaming: All of the Projects' names are more than a little self-explanatory. "Project Distance Shooter," Project Explosive Implants," "Project Advance Scout," "Project Retractable Weapons"...yeah. The Projects themselves choose more personalized names for themselves, based off the first initiail of their official titles.

* TrueCompanions: Squadron Z, definitely.
* TwentyMinutesInTheFuture

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: All of the Projects are engineered with unusual hair colors, so they can be told apart from humans; they are also unable to dye their hair, to prevent them from disguising as humans. [[MasterOfIllusion Kimio]] gets around this by illusioning false appearances for himself.
