History VisualNovel / AProfile

* AnAesop:
** [[HardTruthAesop Your friends may lie to you no matter how much trust you have in them]] but you should believe in them all the same.
** "The world is vague and confusing. It's up to you how you interpret it."

* LoveLetterLunacy: In Miku's route, Masayuki converses for a while with a girl called Karen through letters left in his shoe locker. The setup is so cliché that Kaine and Miou don't take it seriously, especially since Karen forgot to add her name to the first letter.

* IllGirl: [[spoiler:Miku isn't supposed to run anymore due to illness. She's gradually getting weaker and is due to be hospitalized soon. The reason for her illness is that she donated a part of her liver to her little sister, but due to a botched surgery she started to get sick.]]

A Profile is a visual novel released by [=Akabei Soft=] (now known as [=Akabei Soft2=]) in 2005 and the third to be translated into English, following ''VisualNovel/SharinNoKuni'' and later ''VisualNovel/TheDevilOnGString.'' Unlike those two, which were released at a later date, A Profile has a more standard route progression system as it appears the writers had not yet picked up the style of a linear storyline that splits only later in the story.

* ShoutOut: Kaine forces Rizu to memorize every character in ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'' and later Masayuki thinks he's dreaming and begins to act like [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]].

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Kaine appears to have made Rizu memorize the names of every single character that appears in ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes''. For those unaware of the series, that's over half a thousand characters over about a hundred episodes.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Miou and Miku have blue and purple hair respectively, though it's implied to actually be black early on.

* RealityEnsues: [[spoiler:Despite Masayuki's passionate pleas to Miou's father, Miou's parents still split up. He did manage to impress her father though.]]

* {{Transgender}}: [[spoiler:Kaine was assigned female at birth, but never felt like one. Eventually, he started going to school in male clothing and taking male hormones. Contrary to [[{{bifauxnen}} similar plotlines in other stories]], however, Kaine continues to be treated as male after this. He gets more female attention than Masayuki despite being pretty open about it.]]
