So much so that [[RetargetedLust he sleeps with another woman, pretending she's Orihime]] and [[WrongNameOutburst even screaming out Orihime's name while climaxing]].

** It turns out Nina [[InternalReveal did know what happened]] to [[MissingMom her mother]]. [[spoiler: She accidentally stumbled into her [[MadScientist father's]] lab one day just in time to witness the finished project of him turning [[BodyHorror her mother into a chimera]]. The event was so traumatic for her that she screamed, [[FaintInShock fainted]], and later [[RepressedMemories repressed the awful memory]]]].
*** It was also the reason why Nina couldn't remember [[MadScientist her father]] turning her into a chimera.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[BadassInDistress Edward]] and [[AntiHero Eria]] work together to defeat [[MonsterOfTheWeek Amelia]] in [[spoiler: Chapter 41]]. Before the battle, [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Ed]] irritably claims to [[ShadowArchetype Eria]] that he would rather rip [[LoveInterest Orihime's]] [[spoiler: [[SoulFragment soul]]]] right out of her and put it back in its rightful owner, but begrudging admits that [[EnemyMine they have bigger problems]]. It is later revealed that the [[spoiler: [[SevenDeadlySins homunculi]] and [[ArtificialHumans mod souls]]]] relationship is this. The [[WordOfGod author]] claimed that their relationship is [[OpportunisticBastard purely opportunistic]].

* UnknowinglyInLove: Despite the UnresolvedSexualTension between them, Orihime has some difficulty recognizing her true feelings for Edward ([[spoiler: even though they have kissed on a few occasions]]). This mainly has to due to her being so madly in love with [[FirstLove Ichigo]] that [[ObliviousToLove she can't perceive her feelings]] for [[SecondLove Edward]] as anything romantic in nature because it's just too different than what she feels for Ichigo. Plus, her deep-seated self-worth and insecurity issues also plays a factor because she strongly believes that [[InsecureLoveInterest no one would truly fall in love with her]]. The real her. [[StepfordSmiler The ugly, broken person]] [[BeneathTheMask she tries to hide from the world]].

* ZenSurvivor: Orihime is very mild example. She inwardly dicourages [[InvisibleToNormals regular people]] from trying to pursue the supernatural, and when [[LockedOutOfTheLoop Edward]] actively wants to get involved, she tries in vain to dissuade him from [[TheMasquerade ucovering the truth of the supernatural world]], believing once he gets ''fully'' involved, unlike [[GoneHorriblyWrong his tragic mistake with Human Transmutation]], it'd be something that could ''never'' be undone and [[IJustWantToBeNormal his pursuit]] of SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong would be partially null and void. He could regain his and his brother's bodies back sure, but he could never just [[PointOfNoReturn redo a life-changing decision]]. Once it's made, '''it's made'''. No ifs, ands, or buts. She once remarks that [[spoiler: [[TheHeartless Hollow]]]] hunting is a "self-sacrificing job without any rewards".

* UsefulNotes/{{Tanabata}}: Reo's favorite fairy tale.
** Becomes a MeaningfulName for Orihime when you think about the [[FridgeHorror possibility of her]] [[DidNotGetTheGirl not ending up with Edward]].
* TastesLikeFriendship: How a friendship between [[BigEater Ed]] and [[CordonBleughChef Orihime]] begin to form.
* TeamChef: Orihime becomes the designated cook of their little group.
* TeamMom: Orihime definitely qualifies. She's basically [[TheHeart The Heart]] of the group and the [[TeamChef Team Chef]]. Ed and Al often [[LikeParentLikeSpouse draw parallels between her and Trisha]].
* TechnicalPacifist: Ed and Al would have no problem beating the crap out of people, Ed more so than Al, but [[ThouShallNotKill they would never outright kill anyone]]. Ed also DoesntLikeGuns, as they make killing too easy.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[BadassInDistress Edward]] and [[AntiHero Eria]] work together to defeat [[MonsterOfTheWeek Amelia]] in [[spoiler: Chapter 41]]. Before the battle, [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Ed]] irritably claims to [[ShadowArchetype Eria]] that he would rather rip [[LoveInterest Orihime's]] [[spoiler: [[SoulFragment soul]]]] right out of her and put it back in its rightful owner, but begrudging admits that [[EnemyMine they have bigger problems]].
** It is later revealed that the [[spoiler: [[SevenDeadlySins homunculi]] and [[ArtificialHumans mod souls]]]] relationship is this. The [[WordOfGod author]] claimed that their relationship is [[OpportunisticBastard purely opportunistic]].
* TenderTears: Orihime sheds these quite a lot. Sometimes overlaps with TearsOfJoy, TearsOfRemorse, or BrokenTears.
* TextileWorkIsFeminine: [[GirlyGirl Orihime]] is often shown knitting/sewing scarves and other clothing. And she's damn good at it! Not surprising since she's part of the sewing club at her school, and said to be second only to [[RealMenWearPink Uryu]].
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: The crux of [[CreepyChild Zero's]] StartOfDarkness. Everyone kept calling him a "[[AllTheOtherReindeer monster]]". [[ParentalAbandonment His parents sold him]] to a MadScientist because they deemed him to be a "[[IHaveNoSon monster]]". If he really is considered a "monster" for developing [[MakingASplash supernatural powers]], then he'll give them...the whole world the [[EnfantTerrible monster they believe him to be]].
* TheyreCalledPersonalIssuesForAReason: Invoked by Orihime. [[spoiler: When Ed [[DarkAndTroubledPast finally tells her]] about the [[GoneHorriblyWrong his and Al's bodies]], [[KnewItAllAlong Orihime confesses that she already knew that]]. When a bewildered Edward asks why hasn't she said anything about it, she gently replies that she didn't want to reopen his wound. [[TheConfidant She also says that she would patiently wait for him to tell her of his own accord]]]].
* ThroughHisStomach: [[BigEater Ed]] openly and joyously expresses how much he loves [[LoveInterest Orihime’s]] [[CordonBleughChef cooking]], even stating to be one of his favorite meals to eat. In a more platonic sense, this makes Orihime enjoy cooking even more.
* TokenHuman: [[TokenGoodTeammate Chloe]] on the [[SevenDeadlySins homunculi's]] side.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: [[WrenchWench Winry]] and [[TheMedic Orihime]], respectively. However, [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Winry]] does her have her girlish moments and [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak Orihime]] bonds with her over mechanics and robots.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: [[WrenchWench Winry]] is Edward's mechanic with a strong passion for automail and mechanical gadgets in general. She also displays a sensitive and feminine side on occasions, and enjoys baking pie from time to time.
* TragicKeepsake: In a heart to heart moment between Al and Orihime, Orihime declares that her hairpins are the last gift her late brother ever gave her before he died.
* TragicMonster: This is Nina's opinion on [[spoiler: [[TheHeartless Hollows]]]] in general.
--> Nina (''sadly''): ''"[[SympathyForTheDevil They are bad, unhappy monsters.]]"''
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: The story starts off with Orihime being mysteriously transported into the world of FMA. She spends the beginning portion of it trying to either figure out a way to return to her world or wait for her friends to rescue her. Although, she slowly starts to bond with the friends she makes there, especially [[TrueCompanions Ed and Al]]. [[spoiler: [[TearJerker This makes it all the sadder when the author stated that Orihime is eventually going to have to choose between her world or their world]]]].
* TraumaButton: Thanks to the horrific, nightmarish illusions Orihime underwent by a MonsterOfTheWeek making her relive her [[BreakTheCutie Break the Cutie]] ordeals that she suffered in [[DamselInDistress Hueco Mundo]], seeing white, mainly people wearing large amounts of white, triggers her PTSD.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia:
** This is the reason why Alphonse can't remember the GateOfTruth. [[spoiler: At least, at first. [[TookInLevelInBadass He eventually remembers and now can use circle-less alchemy]]]].
** It turns out Nina [[InternalReveal did know what happened]] to [[MissingMom her mother]]. [[spoiler: She accidentally stumbled into her [[MadScientist father's]] lab one day just in time to witness the finished project of him turning [[BodyHorror her mother into a chimera]]. The event was so traumatic for her that she screamed, [[{{Fainting}} fainted]], and later [[RepressedMemories repressed the awful memory]]]].
*** It was also the reason why Nina couldn't remember [[MadScientist her father]] turning her into a chimera.
* TraumaticHaircut: Happened to [[AllTheOtherReindeer Orihime]] in her {{Backstory}} by [[KidsAreCruel kids]] who thought [[ImplausibleHairColor her hair was weird and ugly]].
* TryingNotToCry: When Orihime tries desperately to dissuade Edward for getting any more involved with the [[TheMasquerade supernatural world]], it becomes increasingly difficult to hold back her tears because he keeps "killing her with kindness". Eventually she sheds a [[SingleTear Single]] TearsOfJoy when Ed wants to stay by her side, despite the danger.
* {{Tsundere}}:
** Winry is a Type B.
** Edward shows some tsundere-like traits, mostly in [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend regards to his feelings]] toward [[LoveInterest Orihime]]. He's a Type A. Interesting in that he rarely yells at her, but at the [[EveryoneCanSeeIt people who assume that he's attracted to her]].
** Sammy the cat is another type A example. Initially being standoffish and rude at first before slowly warming up to [[AllLovingHeroine Orihime]].
* TurnTheOtherCheek: One of [[AllLovingHeroine Orihime's]] more admirable and endearing trait. While most characters are very argumentative, it takes a lot of willpower, self-discipline and heart to just let bygones be bygones.
* TwiceShy: Some of [[UnresolvedSexualTension Edward and Orihime's]] [[WillTheyOrWontThey romantic interactions come off as this]]. Ed's dorkiness and Orihime's ShrinkingViolet tendencies could be downright cutesy and endearing at times. Although, it prevents them from establishing a relationship when they constantly dance around each other. That, [[InsecureLoveInterest and]] [[HopelessSuitor other]] [[LoveTriangle factors]]...
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Edward, Alphonse, and Orihime. [[spoiler: Originally]].
* UmbrellaOfTogetherness: [[spoiler: [[ShipTease Chapter 29]]]]. After Orihime returns from her [[LotusEaterMachine dream world]], she goes missing once again the next day. Edward goes off to look for her, and finds her standing in front of [[TragicHero Reo's]] grave. After reminiscing about everything she's been through and finally confessing of how secretly proud she is to have met Ed and Al, [[spoiler:she makes a promise to stay be the brothers' side until they get their bodies back]]. [[LuminescentBlush Edward]] doesn't say anything and offers his umbrella to her to keep her from getting [[RomanticRain rained on]].
* UnfinishedBusiness: Basically every spirit has something that's keeping them from moving on to the afterlife.
* UnknownRival:
** Ichigo is this to Edward when it comes to the LoveTriangle between Ed, Orihime, and Ichigo.
** As of [[spoiler: Chapter 34]], this is averted as Ed is now well aware Orihime is in love with Ichigo. [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Still remains in denial though]], but has shown [[GreenEyedMonster some signs of feeling jealous]].
** On the other hand, [[ObliviousToLove Ichigo is unaware of Orihime's feelings for him]], so this is played straight.
* UnlimitedWardrobe: Invoked by Ed. [[MakesUsEven Ed decides to take Orihime shopping as a way to return the favor for all the help she's done for both him and Al]]. Some HilarityEnsues, thanks to [[HumbleHeroine Orihime's]] ThinkNothingOfIt mentality. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Until, finally, Ed gets fed up and forcibly takes Orihime shopping, whether she likes it or not]]. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], Orihime still primarily wears her [[SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack school uniform]], but she's shown to change outfits from time to time, compared to everyone else's LimitedWardrobe.
* UnrequitedTragicMaiden: [[GenderInvertedTrope A rare male example]]. [[HopelessSuitor Edward]] comes ''so'' close to becoming this when a [[MonsterOfTheWeek villain]] [[TheVamp seductress]] tries to use his [[HeartbrokenBadass heartbreak and despair]] against him. [[BreakThemByTalking She cruelly breaks him by talking, trying to manipulate him into turning against Orihime]] by [[ManipulativeBitch mocking that as long as Orihime is in love with Ichigo]], [[UnrequitedLove she would never return his affections]], [[AlwaysSecondBest even providing him mental images of Orihime choosing Ichigo over Edward]], something she knows deep down he so ''desperately'' craves [[ForTheEvulz just to rub salt on the wound]]. Once she has him in her clutches, she plants a ForcefulKiss on him, which [[KissOfDeath steals his life energy]]. [[SubvertedTrope Luckily]], [[HeroicSecondWind Ed manages to snap out of it in time]] when recalling his DeclarationOfProtection to [[LoveInterest Orihime]] and giving an ''epic'' ShutUpHannibal speech that basically boils down to "So what if he's jealous? [[DisproportionateRetribution That's a stupid reason to betray Orihime]]. [[HumansAreFlawed It's perfectly natural for anyone to feel jealous]], or it could just be [[CrazyJealousGuy another strong aspect of his personality when it comes to Orihime]]. At the end of the day, his feelings are his and his alone, and no one has any ''right'' to take advantage of them." This becomes one of the greatest SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming when Ed passionately admits that seeing Orihime cry would be ''way'' worse than his hurt feelings. However, since most of his energy has been drained, he's rendered too weak to fight back. Ultimately, he is saved once again when Eria pulls a VillainousRescue.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: [[AllLovingHeroine Orihime's]] and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Edward's]] [[WillTheyOrWontThey relationship]] in a nutshell. It's obvious that Ed has a definite crush on her ([[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend though he won't admit it]]), but Orihime's feelings for him are pretty vague. She has shown signs that she feels [[WhatIsThisFeeling "something"]] for Ed. [[spoiler: [[LotusEaterMachine When she was trapped in a illusion where her life was back to the way it was before she met Ed and Al]], she felt that "something" was still missing. [[BrokenMasquerade Ultimately, it was Ed's voice that helped her escape]]]]. [[ObliviousToLove She doesn't know why she feels a strong desire to see Ed again or why she's so reluctant to leave his side, she just is]]. [[spoiler: Cue ThePromise.]] The only thing keeping them from admitting their feelings is that Orihime still has feelings for [[FirstLove Ichigo]], and Ed being... [[CannotSpitItOut well]], [[{{Tsundere}} Ed]].
* TheUnSmile: PlayedForLaughs. Orihime sports this only once when she's silently telling everyone to go along with Nina's [[ImaginaryFriend imaginary]] [[NotSoImaginaryFriend friend]]. Ed notes how super creepy it is, and would rather take a [[WrenchWhack wrench in the face]] by [[WrenchWench Winry]] than to see that smile ever again.
* UptightLovesWild: Down to earth DeadpanSnarker Ed [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan falls in love with]] cheery CloudCuckooLander Orihime.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Zero before [[ParentalAbandonment his parents sold him]] to a MadScientist.
* VainSorceress: [[TheVamp Amelia]], a [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative and sadistic]] woman, who uses her looks, charm, and [[BreakThemByTalking forked tongue]] to play with the emotional vulnerability of men, [[KissOfDeath killing]] them by draining their [[LifeDrinker life energy and transfering it to her]]. And for what? [[IJustWantToBeBeautiful To keep herself looking young and beautiful forever]]. [[DealWithTheDevil She even sold her soul to a]] [[spoiler: [[TheHeartless Hollow]]]] to keep her [[VanityIsFeminine young and beautiful appearance, and must use the life force of others to sustain her youthful look]]. Naturally, when the [[spoiler: Hollow]] is killed, she dies as well.
* VillainessesWantHeroes: A GenderFlipped example. [[ArcVillain Morgan]] has an unhealthy obsession with [[AllLovingHeroine Orihime]].
* VillainousCrush: [[AnythingThatMoves Morgan]] seems to have a [[{{Yandere}} sick and twisted infatuation]] with [[HeadTurningBeauty Orihime]]. So much so that [[RetargetedLust he sleeps with another woman, pretending she's Orihime]] and [[WrongNameOutburst even screaming out Orihime's name while climaxing]].
* VillainousFriendship: Despite their differing personalities and fighting skills, Ritsuko, Morgan, and Kyuko are all genuine friends. Ritsuko and Morgan are VitriolicBestBuds constantly [[SnarkToSnarkCombat snarking]] at each other. And Kyuko looks up to Ritsuko as a CoolBigSis.
* VillainousRescue: [[BitchInSheepsClothing Eria]] comes to [[BadassInDistress Edward's]] rescue in [[spoiler: Chapter 41]].
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: GenderFlipped. Though they are not a couple, and [[ShesNotMyGirlfriend Edward remains in denial of his feelings]], [[BerserkButton DO NOT mess]] with [[LoveInterest Orihime]]. Or worse, ''make her cry''.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: More like "wake up, help the Elric brothers in their research, and stop Hollows from disturbing the peace". Orihime has taken it upon herself to, basically, perform the duties of a [[{{Shinigami}} Soul Reaper]] whenever possible. [[spoiler: This is the exact reason [[LockedOutOfTheLoop Edward]] accuses Orihime of keeping [[DarkSecret secrets]]]].
* WartsAndAll:
** [[SingleTargetSexuality Ichigo]] to Orihime. She basically describes him as a [[HiddenHeartOfGold lovable]] [[JapaneseDelinquent delinquent]].
** [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Edward]], too, in a less [[JustFriends romantic]] sense. [[HopelessSuitor Unfortunately, for him]].
* WeHelpTheHelpless: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. One entry of Orihime's [[SecretDiary diary]] declares [[ChronicHeroSyndrome she always wanted to help people in need]].
* WeNeedToGetProof: Perhaps one of the biggest reasons why Orihime is never upfront with the fact that [[TheMasquerade ghosts and ghost-like monsters]] are real. She is genre savvy enough to know that in a [[BadassBookworm world full of smart guys and girls with superpowers related to their smarts]], eveyone is potentially an [[AgentScully Agent Scully]] who won't believe in such "[[CassandraTruth delusional nonsense]]" without any proof or solid evidence. She only really comes forth with the existence of the [[InvisibleToNormals supernatual world]] to [[spoiler: Nina and Hughes]] when the two are attacked and nearly killed by a [[spoiler: [[TheHeartless Hollow]]]] at different points of the story, forcing the latter to come to terms that ghosts are indeed real and some are very dangerous.
* WhamEpisode: There are a few throughout the first series, and showcase the story becoming DarkerAndEdgier than [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist canon]]. And others showing the telltale sign of the story going through a CerebusSyndrome.
** [[spoiler: Chapter 16]] showcase the first appearances of [[spoiler: [[TheHeartless Hollows]]]] into the story, fully incorporating the elements of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' into the story.
*** Also shows the first hint of [[spoiler: [[TheCutie Nina]]]] possessing latent spiritual powers.
** [[spoiler: Chapter 25]] results in the first appearance of [[spoiler: [[ArtificialHuman mod souls]]]], concluding in a NearVillainVictory and [[TheBadGuysWin The Bad Guys Win]]. [[spoiler: Although, the mod souls didn't finish off the main characters, they still got what the came their for. [[YourSoulIsMine A piece of Orihime's soul]]]].
** [[spoiler: Chapter 32]] reveals what happened to the [[spoiler: piece of Orihime's soul the [[ArchVillain mod souls]] stole]]. It went into another [[spoiler: [[ArtificialHuman mod soul]]]] by the name of [[IceQueen Eria]], who is basically, for all intents and purposes, [[AllLovingHeroine Orihime's]] ShadowArchetype.
* WhamShot: Happens in [[spoiler: Chapter 46 when the prime suspect for Hughes's murder turns out to be Ichigo Kurosaki]]. When Ed finds out, he is rightfully horrified and conflicted. He's torn between relieving his [[HopelessSuitor Hopless Suitor]] status, but at the horrible cost of breaking [[LoveInterest Orihime's]] heart upon knowing her [[spoiler: FirstLove]] is a potential criminal. [[spoiler: [[SecretKeeper He resolves to keep her from discovering the truth until he knows for sure whether Ichigo killed Hughes or not]]]].
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Orihime frequently makes comments about how warm and bright Edward's eyes are, comparing it to the color of the sun. It's one of the first signs that indicates she's starting to [[SecondLove fall in love with him]].
* WhatIsThisFeeling: For quite a long time, Edward couldn't understand why he feels so incredibly hurt and angry whenever [[LoveInterest Orihime]] thinks about [[UnknownRival Ichigo]]. Why her love for him causes him great pain and anguish. Thanks to the [[MasterOfIllusion manipulations]] of [[MonsterOfTheWeek Amelia]], he was able to discern the emotion he was feeling was...[[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]].
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: An unusual case. Orihime is well aware of what love is. After all, she's in love with [[SingleTargetSexuality Ichigo]]. However, her confusing lays with her [[IfItsYouItsOkay growing feelings]] for [[SecondLove Edward]]. She can never understand why there are these [[ObliviousToLove subtle and fleeting feelings of delightful emotions and contentment that flutter inside of her or the overwhelming desire just to see or be near him]] instead of the explosion of passion she gets when thinking of [[FirstLove Ichigo]].
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: Chapter 15]]. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Alphonse]] furiously yells and hits [[{{Jerkass}} Edward]], calling him out on his [[UngratefulBastard jerkass behaviour]] towards Orihime and making her [[TenderTears cry]] after the girl just [[spoiler: [[SparedByAdaptation saved Nina's life]]]]. Edward [[JerkassRealization realizes how much of ungrateful bastard he is]] and goes to [[TheAtoner apologize to Orihime]]. [[OhCrap Only to run into Scar]].
** When a scared and desperate Orihime tries to get Edward to understand that [[TheMasquerade supernatural world]] is beyond his comprehension and that he is just [[TheWorfEffect putting himself in needless and senseless danger]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ed]] [[AngerBornOfWorry angrily rebukes her]] for trying [[InvokedTrope invoke]] him into being LockedOutOfTheLoop willingly. How can she expect him to consciously remain calm and ignorant when the [[LoveInterest woman he loves]] is always in danger?
* WhenSheSmiles: [[DownPlayedTrope Downplayed]]. [[StepfordSmiler Orihime smiles all the time]]. However, Edward describes the smile she reserves just for [[SingleTargetSexuality Ichigo]] to be truly beautiful, full of genuine happiness, and the brightest of all her smiles. [[GreenEyedMonster He also finds it painful to see because it isn't for him]]. When she finally smiles at him like that after he gives her a pair of earrings as a gift, his heart immediately soars.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: A few of Orihime's outfits consists of her wearing shorts.
* WhosLaughingNow: [[EnfantTerrible Zero's]] response in a nutshell when he finds his parents gloating about getting rid of him. Till this day, [[SelfMadeOrphan he doesn't regret killing them]].
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Because of [[StepfordSmiler Orihime's]] [[BreakTheCutie experiences]] [[DamselInDistress in Hueco Mundo]], first she gained a fear of the dark. Enough that she couldn't sleep at night without a night light for a few months. However, once she's over that phobia, a new phobia rears its ugly head after [[MindRape she's forced to relive her trauma]]... Fear of the color white.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With all the [[ShipTease heartwarming moments]] between [[UnresolvedSexualTension Edward and Orihime]], this trope appears to be deliberate. [[spoiler: As of Chapter 47, TheyDo]].
* WistfulAmnesia: While in a [[LotusEaterMachine dreamworld]], Orihime still has a vague knowledge that something is missing. [[spoiler: That something is [[TrueCompanions Ed and Al]]. It shows how much Orihime cares and appreciates the time they spent together]].
* TheWorfEffect: Ed and Al are [[CurbStompBattle easily taken out]] by [[BloodKnight Ritsuko]] to establish how dangerous [[spoiler: [[ArtificialHuman mod souls]]]] are.
* WorldOfBadass: Seeing as this is a {{Crossover}} between ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' and ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', it's a given.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Thanks to [[HeadTurningBeauty Orihime's]] [[FashionModel modeling]], she is now this in Amestris, much to Ed's [[CrazyJealousGuy displeasure]] [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl for]] [[DudeMagnet obvious]] [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer reasons]].
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: [[spoiler: Ritsuko's sword's, Shinachou's, ability is this]]. The only who would be able to [[HealingHands heal]] it is [[spoiler: [[RealityWarper Orihime]]]].
* {{Xenafication}}: Somewhat subverted. Despite her pacifistic personality, Orihime has shown an even [[AdaptationalBadass greater level of competence and skill in her abilities]], unlike her NeutralFemale role in the original [[Manga/{{Bleach}} manga]]. [[ActualPacifist Although, she still refuses to actively participate in any fight]].
* YamatoNadeshiko: As surprising as it sounds, [[CloudCuckooLander Orihime]] has shown some traits of this. She is a [[NiceGirl kindhearted and sweet tempered girl]]. She [[TeamChef cooks]], [[TextileWorkIsFeminine sews]] , and she's very [[UndyingLoyalty devoted]] to her friends, even offering them [[TheHeart emotional support]], [[spoiler: such as when she gently helps Alphonse confront his [[ExistentialHorror existential crisis]]]]. [[SilkHidingSteel But when push comes to shove]], [[BewareTheNiceOnes she isn't afraid to fight back in her own way]].
* {{Yandere}}: [[TheCasanova Morgan]] most definitely qualifies for one. [[spoiler: When his ImpliedLoveInterest is sitting on death's door, he becomes desperate in his pursuit on helping her. When she dies, he goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge on the [[MurderByInaction doctor he deems responsible for her death by refusing to help her]] due to financial difficulties]].
** When Morgan hears rumors about [[LustObject Orihime]] possibly having a [[MistakenForRomance boyfriend]], he immediately entertains the idea of doing one of two things. [[MurderTheHypotenuse Murdering Edward]] or [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping Orihime in front of him]] while [[ForcedToWatch the young alchemist is helpless to stop it]] all while sporting a [[SlasherSmile sadistic grin]] at the mere thought. Not to mention, he goes on a [[SerialRapist raping spree]] to vent out [[RetargetedLust his lust, anger, and frustration]].
*** It's worth noting while Morgan’s attraction to Orihime is all but stated to be pure lust, [[spoiler: his love for his ImpliedLoveInterest is surprisingly genuine, hinting that [[LadykillerInLove she was his first and only love]], [[ReallyGetsAround no matter how many women he sleeps with after her death]], and her death really [[DespairEventHorizon devastated]] [[LoveMakesYouEvil him]]]].
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: [[spoiler: Chapter 34]]. While Ed laments to Winry that his pocket watch is a constant reminder of his shame, guilt, and weakness, Orihime gives him a RousingSpeech about how truly caring and admirable he is because [[BigBrotherInstinct he's so dedicated to his cause]].
* YouCanSeeMe: A spirit's first response of utter disbelief when [[AllLovingHeroine Orihime]] talks to her.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: InUniverse example. [[ImplausibleHairColor Orihime's auburn hair]] makes her stand out among the blonde, black, and brown-haired citizens of Amestris.
** [[TheFashionista Elizabeth's]] lavender hair.
*** Subverted in the fact that it's dyed.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Orihime reminiscences a few times about how much Edward's personality and actions are similar to [[spoiler: [[SingleTargetSexuality Ichigo's]]]].
* YourMakeupIsRunning: [[spoiler: [[DanceOfRomance Chapter 39]]]]. A [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example. After Orihime finishes telling Ed the story about how much she used to hate [[ImplausibleHairColor her hair]] because [[TraumaticHaircut she was constantly picked on and tormented by]] [[KidsAreCruel bullies]] because of it, she cries into his suit, getting a tiny smudge of mascara on it. It's hardly noticeable because it's black mascara on a black jacket.
* YourSoulIsMine: [[spoiler: This is Kyuko's [[MagicMirror power]]]]. The [[spoiler: [[ArtificialHuman Mod]] [[OurSoulsAreDifferent Souls]]]] attempt to do this to Orihime on their first appearance. [[WeNeedADistraction Ritsuko causes havoc and fights Edward and Alphonse to distract them long enough]] for Morgan and Kyuko to steal [[spoiler: Orihime's]] soul. [[spoiler: Luckily, it doesn't work out that way as Orihime manages to get her soul back]]. Unfortunately, [[spoiler: it wasn't a complete failure on the Mod Soul's part as they still retained a [[SoulFragment tiny piece of her soul]]]].
* YourUniverseOrMine: The [[WordOfGod author]] has heavily implied that [[spoiler: Orihime's going to have to choose between staying with Ed and Al, or returning back to her old world]]. Also implying she has to choose between [[spoiler: [[FirstLove Ichigo]]]] and [[spoiler: [[SecondLove Edward]]]].
* ZenSurvivor: Orihime is very mild example. She inwardly dicourages [[InvisibleToNormals regular people]] from trying to pursue the supernatural, and when [[LockedOutOfTheLoop Edward]] actively wants to get involved, she tries in vain to dissuade him from [[TheMasquerade ucovering the truth of the supernatural world]], believing once he gets ''fully'' involved, unlike [[GoneHorriblyWrong his tragic mistake with Human Transmutation]], it'd be something that could ''never'' be undone and [[IJustWantToBeNormal his pursuit]] of SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong would be partially null and void. He could regain his and his brother's bodies back sure, but he could never just [[PointOfNoReturn redo a life-changing decision]]. Once it's made, '''it's made'''. No ifs, ands, or buts. She once remarks that [[spoiler: [[TheHeartless Hollow]]]] hunting is a "self-sacrificing job without any rewards".
