* Inverted in ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' with Touko Aozaki. While she's wearing her glasses, she's a somewhat eccentric magus with a smoking habit. But when the glasses come off, she tends to get [[TranquilFury ugly]]. Her facial expressions even match this change.

In a setting where the main villains are trying to steal people's "attributes" for energy source, Isuna joined the Ultimegil because she takes the glasses attribute [[SeriousBusiness very seriously]] and would rather have them drain out all other attributes besides it to preserve it. She is otherwise more of a {{Hikikomori}}, albeit a rather big LoonyFan to Twoearle.
