27	* ColorCodedCharacters: Along with Ogami, each division member has a distinct color seen in their uniforms and machines: red for Erica, blue for Glycine, pink for Coquelicot, green for Lobelia, and black for Hanabi.
28	* FeatherMotif: Despite being called the Flower Division, this particular group is often depicted with white feathers to distinguish them from their counterparts in Japan.
29	* FiveTokenBand: The heroines in the series consist of two French girls, a Japanese-French girl, a Vietnamese girl, and a Romanian-Italian girl.
30	* HappyEndingOverride: They get hit with this trope in the backstory of ''VideoGame/SakuraWars2019'', where after they sealed themselves to end the Great Demon War, the demons return 10 years later to terrorize the world once more.
31	* HeroicSacrifice: A non-fatal example. In the backstory of ''VideoGame/SakuraWars2019'', they sealed themselves to stop the demons, along with the Imperial and New York Combat Revues.
32	* IconicSequelCharacter: They first appeared in ''VideoGame/SakuraWars3IsParisBurning'' and have since become popular characters.
33	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Initially suffered from this due to their clashing personalities and lack of coordination with one another. After seeing Sakura, Sumire, and Iris during the contest in ''Is Paris Burning?'' Chapter 7, they realize their own lack of teamwork in comparison, and so strive to improve themselves.

44	->Voiced by: Creator/NorikoHidaka (Japanese), Creator/CaitlinGlass (English, ''Sakura Wars: École de Paris'')\
45	Portrayed by: Noriko Hidaka (stage plays)
46
47	Erica is a novitiate nun by day; cabaret dancer by night; mecha pilot in secret; [[CuteClumsyGirl cute, clumsy]], and friendly 24/7. Was the first member of the Paris Combat Revue to be recruited by the Grand-Mère after she saw her spiritual powers at work. She's the main female lead of ''Sakura Wars 3''.
48	----
49	* BadassAdorable: She's cute and surprisingly handy with her submachine gun, despite her clumsiness.
50	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She becomes absolutely '''furious''' with Ogami after the defeat of Calamar when he doesn't remember his promise to her.
51	-->'''Erica:''' I fought wishing only to live in the city I love with the person I love! And despite that, to think you would forget!
52	** In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars30'', she goes really gung-ho against the [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Zanscare Empire]] due to their use of the guillotine as a execution method. As a Frenchwoman, [[UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolution Erica has LOTS of reasons]] [[StopBeingStereotypical for hating them, besides being the bad guys]]
53	* TheCaptain: She becomes one in the ''Le Nouveau Paris'' [=OVA=] during Ogami's absence, but steps down when the other members start bossing her around.
54	* CatGirl: Her stage outfit at Chattes Noire is a cat outfit.
55	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Whenever she sees someone in trouble, she always rushes over to help them the best she can. Though, this being [[CuteClumsyGirl Erica]]...
56	* ChurchMilitant: A variation; she's both a nun and a member of the Paris Combat Revue. The convent she belongs to is not a military organization in itself.
57	* CuteClumsyGirl: So much that it's a known running gag whenever Erica is around.
58	* DarkAndTroubledPast: When Erica was little, her spiritual powers accidentally activated. This injured her adoptive parents and a few bystanders nearby.
59	** The prequel novel goes into greater detail about her past. When more people learned of Erica's powers, she became the target of rumors from neighbors and was constantly hounded by cults that wanted to indoctrinate her. Things got worse when the government tried to use her status as the "Angel of Montmartre" to boost morale during the European War. The media coverage resulted in backlash from the public, causing many people [[KickTheDog to unfairly accuse the Fontaines of being swindlers]] and attracting the attention of local criminals. Because of all the negative attention she received from the public, Erica decided it was best to join a monastery in order to hide herself.
60	* DestructiveSavior: Erica tries to help people, but given her clumsiness, she tends to cause more problems than she solves.
61	* TheDitz: She can be a bit airheaded and misinformed at times.
62	* DoorstopBaby: In her backstory, Erica was abandoned on a bridge as a baby. Then, the Fontaines found her and raised her as if she was their daughter.
63	* EarnYourTitle: In one of the prequel novels, people would often refer to Erica as the "Angel of Montmartre" for her miraculous healing abilities.
64	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the opening sequence of the ''École de Paris'' OVA: Grand Mere finds Erica in a church, [[NiceGirl praying for the prosperity and good fortune of everyone in the world]], with a gigantic pair of angel wings extending from her back, that only disappear when Grand-Mère interrupts her. In under a minute, Erica [[CuteClumsyGirl then trips and falls right on top of her]].
65	* FantasticRacism: While those who know of Erica's power are grateful, there were others who secretly hated her for it and feared that her spiritual powers could harm them. This drove her to find refuge in the Roman Catholic Church.
66	* FloralThemeNaming: She's named after the "Erica" genus of heathers.
67	* FriendToAllChildren: She can often be found playing games with kids in the park.
68	* GenkiGirl: Always upbeat and energetic, especially with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVOHQbXD-Cg Erica's Good Morning Dance]]. [[EarWorm Seriously, try to keep it out of your head after hearing it.]]
69	* GunsAkimbo: Befitting her religious background, the guns are shaped like crosses.
70	* HappilyAdopted: Erica lived a rather happy life with her adopted parents until her spiritual powers got triggered during a car accident. Concerned for her parents' safety, she decided to enter a monastery and become a nun. The novels reveal that they're not too happy seeing her go for their sake.
71	* HealerSignsOnEarly: Erica, being the healer of the team, is already available at the start of the third game.
72	* ICallItVera: She carries two cross-shaped machine guns named "Raphael" and "Gabriel".
73	* IdiotBall: Sure, Erica, walk around with your machine gun while ''the police are on high alert''. [[SarcasmMode That won't get you in trouble or anything.]]
74	* {{Irony}}: The fact that she was allowed to perform at the Les Chattes Noires as a known cabaret performer, or the fact that she wields a machine gun in battle, despite being a nun.
75	* {{Kawaiiko}}: The most "cutesy" of the franchise's "main" girls.
76	* LethalChef: She's so bad at cooking that it's one of the reasons why Leno asks Erica to leave the convent.
77	* LoveAtFirstSight: She admits this to Ogami if he chooses her as the vice-captain.
78	* NiceGirl: Always bright and friendly to everyone she meets and is willing to lend a hand when necessary.
79	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: For healing numerous soldiers during the European War, Erica gets subjected to constant harassment from the {{Paparazzi}} and gangsters who want to take advantage of her powers.
80	* NotSoSimilar: To Sakura. While both girls share parallels with one another, they both have very contrasting traits: Erica is the first person to be recruited in the Paris Flower Division, has a fascination for Japanese culture, and is beloved by many in spite of her clumsy behavior. However, she slacks-off outside of battle, is rather indulgent with sweets, and tends to exaggerate said cheerfulness to compensate for her own inadequacy. Sakura, on the other hand, is the last member to join her respective squad, initially struggles to adapt to city life, and is mocked for her clumsiness. She makes up for it by diligently working on her swordsmanship and acting skills while steadily forming a sincere bond with everyone else. Even the way they behave towards Ogami is different; Erica is absolutely shameless of her love for Ogami whereas Sakura acts more self-conscious about it or gets jealous whenever he shows interest in another woman.
81	* NunsAreMikos: She's a nun who has spiritual powers and fights demons.
82	* OriginsEpisode: The first episode of the ''École De Paris'' OVA shows how Erica was recruited into the Paris Combat Revue.
83	* PropagandaPiece: In the novel, a young Erica inadvertently became a propaganda symbol for the French army for healing the soldiers wounded in battle by the German forces.
84	* SecretIdentity: Averted. She performs at the Les Chattes Noires as a dancer, but no one in the audience knows that she's really a novitiate nun in reality. Might have something to do with her not using her full name when dancing on stage.
85	* SexualEuphemism: She dances for Ogami because Father Leno told her that "men and women dance in the morning" in the ''École de Paris'' OVA.
86	* {{Sleepyhead}}: She's shown in the ''École de Paris'' OVA to fall asleep in strange places such as the backstage of Chattes Noire, the library, and even the briefing room.
87	* SmallGirlBigGun: Her weapons of choice are machine guns. [[MoreDakka Double-barreled]] machine guns. The prequel novel reveals that she was given these weapons from the soldiers healed by her during the European War.
88	* StepfordSmiler: She's constantly upbeat and happy to cover up the depression she feels over her own clumsiness.
89	* SweetTooth: She is fond of eating sweets, especially pudding.
90	* TokenReligiousTeammate: Despite being a bit ditzy, Erica still does her job as a nun very well.
91	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She ''loves'' pudding.
92	* YouAreInCommandNow: By the time of ''Le Nouveau Paris'', Erica has become the combat revue's Captain, lasting throughout the OVA.

98	->Voiced by: Creator/SaekoShimazu (Japanese), Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard (English, ''Sakura Wars: École de Paris'')\
99	Portrayed by: Saeko Shimazu (stage plays)
100
101	The only heir of the Bleumer family in Paris, Glycine was the second member to be recruited into the Paris Combat Revue after meeting Erica in the city streets. She is proud of her heritage and wishes to do her part to contribute to French society to make it a better and prosperous country for everyone.
102	----
103	* ArrangedMarriage: Has to go through this someday in order to continue the Bleumer family line. However, Glycine refuses to settle with just about any man and will only go for those who pass her rigid standards with flying colors.
104	* BestHerToBedHer: The "Bleumer Bridegroom Test". Ogami loses on purpose when Glycine engages Ogami in a duel at the Bleumer Estate. It's a tradition of the family dating back to when the family established themselves in France.
105	* BlueBlood: She traces her aristocratic roots to Vikings that settled in modern-day Paris.
106	* CharacterDevelopment: Glycine respects Ogami after finding out why he lost to her at the "Bleumer Test" and witnessing the depths of his dedication to defend Paris.
107	* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: She's usually the one to keep Erica in check.
108	* CutenessProximity: Towards cute animals, much to her embarrassment. If Ogami takes her on a date during Chapter 6 of ''Is Paris Burning'', the sight of little rabbits actually causes her voice to go up a few octaves.
109	* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 3 of ''Is Paris Burning?'' focuses on her.
110	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Hates eating octopi due to being forced to eat an entire plate of it every year as part of Bleumer tradition.
111	* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: When Glycine was just a child, she used to be rather protective of her CoolUncle who clearly stood out among the other nobles for his frugality and enlightened demeanor.
112	* FatherIWantToMarryMyBrother: In the novel, Glycine harbored feelings for her uncle Richard and sought to marry him in order to be his constant protector.
113	* FloralThemeNaming: The "Glycine" genus (formerly wisteria; now soybeans).
114	* HerHeartWillGoOn: In the novel, Glycine is left heartbroken after the uncle she had a crush on died in the battlefield. However, she gets over it by the time the third game starts.
115	* LadyOfWar: The most elegant of heavy hitters.
116	* MoralityPet: She has a soft spot for Hanabi, her good friend from their boarding school days. In the novel, she was initially against the idea of Hanabi marrying Philippe due to his HeManWomanHater status at the time.
117	* NoblewomansLaugh: Sometimes does this when in a good mood, though not as much as Sumire.
118	* NonIdleRich: Glycine exemplifies this trope in order to defy the standards expected of nobles.
119	* OppositesAttract: The headstrong Glycine gradually becomes attracted to Ogami's kindness after acknowledging him as a worthy leader of the Flower Division. This also applies to her own uncle whose gentle demeanor often triggered her protective side in the past.
120	* OriginsEpisode: The first episode of the ''École De Paris'' [=OVA=] shows how Glycine was recruited into the Paris Combat Revue.
121	* TheOjou: Respected as the Bleumer heir.
122	* PrettyInMink: She wears one when performing on stage as "Blue Eyes".
123	* RichBitch: Downplayed. While she might come off as quite haughty and prideful due her status, she's very serious about it, and doesn't use it as an excuse to be malicious or demeaning to others.
124	* TheRival: She becomes rivals with Sumire during Chapter 7 of ''Is Paris Burning?''. They get over it after the chapter's battle.
125	* SecretIdentity: To protect her noble family's image, she uses the pseudonym "Blue Eyes" when working at Les Chattes Noires.
126	* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Loves playing chess and happens to be one of the more intelligent members of the Flower Division. In the novels, she was apparently a GradeSkipper during her time in boarding school.
127	* SuperStrength: Glycine's spiritual power allows her to wield the halberd with immense ease. This has been going on since her youth as she had already been trained with using the weapon at the age of 6 according to the novel.
128	* SuperpowerfulGenetics: According to the prequel novel, the Bleumer family has a history of producing individuals gifted with spiritual powers. Glycine and her uncle Richard are two examples, though it doesn't help the latter much during the European War.
129	* {{Tsundere}}: Due to her pride, Glycine is not very open to others. She softens up considerably as Ogami gradually earns her trust and respect. If the he makes an effort in romancing her, she comes to see him as the perfect bridegroom.
130	* WantedASonInstead: Subverted. While Glycine's father originally wanted a son, he decided to make his daughter heir of the family line after realizing her potential early on.

137	Portrayed by: Etsuko Kozakura (stage plays)
138
139	A young girl from the French protectorate of Annam (modern-day central Vietnam), Coquelicot was adopted by and raised in a French circus. Coquelicot is known to the public as a magician in a circus group called "Circus De Europe". She routinely travels to downtown Paris to take food leftovers in order to feed them to the animals. She was the next girl to be recruited by Ogami into the ranks of the Paris Combat Revue. After the death of the original "Circus De Europe" ringmaster Jacques Denicourt, Coquelicot took over as the next ringmaster and performs there and at the Les Chattes Noires whenever they needed a magician to perform as her "official" cover.
140	----
141	* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Possibly the most mature member of the team; definitely more so than Erica, anyways!
142	* TheApprentice: She serves as an apprentice to Jacques Denicourt at the Circus de Europe until the latter's death.
143	* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Becomes this for Erica if Glycine's not around.
144	* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was orphaned at a young age in Annam and was taken in by Jacques Denicourt. Things went FromBadToWorse for her when a Circus De Europe performer named Quartierla, who she calls as her mother, was a phantom named Python. It's only thanks to Ogami and Erica that she was able to move on from her troubled past.
145	** According to the novelization, Coquelicot was the result of an affair between a local worker and the daughter of a plantation owner. When the daughter's father found them, she was forced to return to France and marry another man. Her father died in the European War trying to find his wife, leaving Coquelicot to fend for herself.
146	* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 2 of ''Is Paris Burning?'' focuses on her.
147	* EarlyBirdCameo: She can be seen as a circus barker (without a bust shot portrait) in Chapter 1 before her official introduction in the next chapter.
148	* FloralThemeNaming: "Coquelicot" is the French word for corn poppies.
149	* FriendToAllLivingThings: One reason why she travels to Paris is to get scraps of food for the animals in "Circle De Europe".
150	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: While Coquelicot does find her mother in the official novel, she opts not to reveal herself after seeing the latter living happily with a new family. Fortunately, things do get better for her in the fourth game when she reveals that her mother's current partner decided to adopt her.
151	* OnlyOneName: She doesn't have a surname, which goes along with her lack of a traditional family.
152	* ParentalAbandonment: See DarkAndTroubledPast for more details.
153	* PrecociousCrush: Like Iris, has one with Ogami during his stay in Paris. Iris doesn't take it that well when they meet up.
154	* SamusIsAGirl: Downplayed. When she first steps in to calm down a horse that was running rampant, Ogami and Erica mistake her for a boy because she is wearing her hat (which conceals her GirlishPigtails).
155	* SecretIdentity: Averted with her since she performs at the Les Chattes Noires with her real name.
156	* StepfordSmiler: Would rather smile than share any sad feelings she has. It's thanks to Ogami's influence that she decides to be more emotionally honest with herself.
157	* TokenMiniMoe: She's the smallest and youngest member of the Paris Flower Division.
158	* TheRival: To Iris for Ogami's affection when she meets her alongside Sakura and Sumire during Chapter 7 of ''Is Paris Burning?''. They mostly get over it after the chapter's battle.

165	Portrayed by: Kikuko Inoue (stage plays)
166
167	A thief of mixed Romanian-Italian descent from Transylvania, Lobelia is known as the "greatest villain of Paris", which earned a thousand-year sentence for her crimes (said to constitute 80% of the criminal activity in the city). Recruited by the Paris Flower Division as a BoxedCrook.
168	----
169	* AntiHero: A first in the franchise. Lobelia's a known criminal in the French underworld.
170	* TheAtoner: In her ending, Lobelia decides to turn herself in to the police in an attempt to atone for her crimes and make herself a worthy partner for Ogami. By the fourth game, she's allowed to go to Japan due to being a model prisoner.
171	* BuxomBeautyStandard: As Ogami notes to himself, with a telling smile on his face, Lobelia's chest has "quite the volume."
172	* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 4 of ''Is Paris Burning?'' focuses on her.
173	* TheExile: She was exiled from Transylvania because the local citizens feared her family's special powers.
174	* FloralThemeNaming: The "Lobelia" and "Carlina" genuses.
175	* TheGadfly: Sometimes likes to mess around with Ogami and Glycine, and even gets impressed if the former tries to turn it around her.
176	* HeelFaceTurn: Eventually becomes something of a genuine hero.
177	* {{Irony}}: The fact that the Paris Combat Revue recruited a villain like her. Fortunately, Grand-Mère has [[CrazyPrepared backup plans at the ready in case Lobelia decides to strike on her own again and go rogue.]]
178	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When the team is searching for Erica in episode 8, Lobelia brushes them off and goes to the bar. When Ogami runs into her there, it turns out she actually went to see if anyone had seen Erica. It eventually becomes clear that her professed dislike for the rest of the team is just a façade to hide the fact that she does actually care about them.
179	* LongerThanLifeSentence: She is sentenced to one thousand years of confinement for her numerous crimes, and she joins the Paris Flower Division under the condition that her sentence would be reduced (on the other hand, if she refuses to join, Grand-Mère has the right to kill her).
180	* LoveRedeems: Lobelia gradually becomes a more heroic figure thanks to Ogami's influence, especially if he decides to pursue her as a love interest.
181	* PlayingWithFire: She specializes in pyrokinesis.
182	* PunchClockHero: She only joined the Paris Combat Revue so that her sentence would be reduced. [[CharacterDevelopment She eventually becomes a more genuine hero]].
183	* RecruitingTheCriminal: Being a BoxedCrook and all that.
184	* RightForTheWrongReasons: When Nadel threatens to tear [[Art/TheMonaLisa the Mosa Lina]], she burns the painting without hesitation, to everyone's surprise. Later, she offhandedly explains it couldn't be the real thing because it had no brows; to which Glycine gasps out that it doesn't have any brows to begin with.
185	* SecretIdentity: She's known to the patrons and the staff (those not involved with the force) in Les Chattes Noires as "Sapphire". In her case, [[KeepingSecretsSucks it's legitimate since the club doesn't want the Préfecture de police de Paris to know that they're harboring a known criminal.]]
186	* ShadowWalker: Her Koubu's movement in gameplay involves it sinking into its shadow.
187	* ShroudedInMyth: Lobelia is so notorious in the criminal underworld that European law enforcement, including the Préfecture de police de Paris, thinks that she's a demon in disguise.
188	* {{Tsundere}}: Presents an unpleasant façade to keep people from getting too close to her, but her soft side still pops up from time to time.
189	* VariableLengthChain: Has one attached to her right arm.
190	* VisualPun: Lobelia does this to Préfecture de police de Paris officers (In anti-heat suits) sent to arrest her to fulfill the plans of Countess Isabel "Grand-Mère" Lilac in recruiting her to the Paris Combat Revue during the events of the École de Paris [=OVA=] by using her pyrokinesis to burn their suits and get them to retreat.
191	--> '''Lobelia''': "Sorry boys. Guess I'm just too hot for you."
192	* WolverineClaws: Her Koubu F's weapons are long claws on its right hand, with her Koubu F2 having them on both hands.
193	* YouAreNumberSix: Her IAmSong, "192455631"[[note]]imprisoned on May 5th, 1924, room six, number 31[[/note]], sings about how her prisoner number is dehumanizing and deprives her of her hope.

201	Portrayed by: Yoshino Takamori (stage plays)
202
203	The only daughter of Masamichi Kitaoji, a Japanese baron with ties to France, and a French mother. Hanabi was friends with Glycine when they started to attend boarding school together prior to her father's journey back to Japan. She's always seen in public wearing a black dress while visiting a public cemetery. Hanabi was the last girl to be recruited by Ogami into the Paris Combat Revue.
204	----
205	* ArrangedMarriage: While her marriage with Philippe was arranged for political reasons, the two of them came to love one another over time, turning it into a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage before the latter's untimely death.
206	* AutomaticCrossbows: Her Kohbu-F is equipped with this as her main weapon. Her Kohbu-F ditches it for a Japanese bow.
207	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Hanabi is just as much of a NiceGirl as Erica, if not more so, but when she's armed with a Yumi or when she's on her Kohbu-F, she can be dangerously efficient, as seen when she saves the rest of the Paris Flower Division from Corbeau during ''Is Paris Burning?''
208	* BlueBlood: Her family, especially since her father Masamichi is a noble with the rank of Baron.
209	* ButNotTooForeign: Her father is a Japanese noble and her mother is from France.
210	* TheConfidant: Serves as one for Glycine due to their friendship.
211	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Before the events of ''Is Paris Burning?'', Hanabi was engaged to a Frenchman named Philippe de Malebranche, who died at sea when the ship he was on sank in 1925, during their wedding day nonetheless. Glycine is the one responsible for telling Ogami about this in ''Is Paris Burning?''.
212	* DarkIsNotEvil: She wears all black throughout ''Is Paris Burning?'' and serves as one of the heroines in the Flower Division.
213	* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 5 of ''Is Paris Burning?'' focuses on her.
214	* DeathSeeker: She initially wants to die so she could be with her beloved [[TheLostLenore Philippe]], who perished in 1925. Her chapter revolves around [[CharacterDevelopment her realizing that she has to live for the sake of others.]]
215	* DrivenToSuicide: She tries jumping off a bridge before being intercepted by Ogami.
216	* ExtremeDoormat: Hanabi was raised to be submissive during her youth. Fortunately, she learns how to [[GrewASpine stand up for herself]] thanks to the influence of the Flower Division.
217	* FloralThemeNaming: "Hanabi" is both a type of hydrangea and a homophone for the Japanese word for fireworks -- "fire flowers".
218	* LadyOfWar: The most traditionally feminine member of the team, but no less badass for it.
219	* MarryForLove: In the novel, Hanabi initially found it unusual to marry for love since she was thoroughly raised to be an obedient housewife one day. But after getting to know Philippe and falling in love with him, their relationship became more genuine.
220	* MasterArcher: Thanking to reading up on Japanese women during her time in France, Hanabi is trained properly to fight enemies with archery. She specializes specifically in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%ABd%C5%8D Kyudo]] with a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yumi Yumi]] whenever she's on foot.
221	* MeaningfulName: "Tatamize Jeune" means literally "Japanese girl" in French.
222	* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: Ogami's spiritual power measurement device goes past the maximum reading after he falls in a river in front of her. He initially believes it got broken until Hanabi releases her true powers in front of him.
223	* SecondLove: Can possibly have this with Ogami if her route is pursued during the games. It's also a borderline case of RomancingTheWidow, as her fiancé drowned on their wedding night.
224	* SecretIdentity: She's known to the patrons and the staff (those not involved with the force) in Les Chattes Noires as "Tatamize Jeune".
225	* ShrinkingViolet: Right from her introduction, she's shown to be shy and withdrawn.
226	* SignificantWardrobeShift: Her theme color is black, justified as she wears WidowsWeeds. However, it is implied that it used to be yellow before losing her fiancé. She starts to wear yellow again if the player gets her ending.
227	* SuicideIsShameful: She comes to view suicide as this after being saved by Ogami and even lashes out quite angrily when Bernadette attempts to kill herself in ''Mysterious Paris''.
228	* TreacherousSpiritChase: To tempt her to suicide one last time, Corbeau shapeshifts back into her dead fiancé midair and tries to lure her off the theater balcony. Her defying this symbolizes she's found something WorthLivingFor.
229	* VerbalTic: The Japanese version has her sometimes say "po" after finishing a sentence.
230	* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: This is Hanabi's main struggle in the prequel novel as she agrees to marry Philippe despite not knowing how to fall in love with him. Unfortunately, the moment she finally does realize her feelings for her fiancé is when their ship sinks due to being accidentally torpedoed by the British navy, leading to his untimely death.
231	* WhenSheSmiles: Her smile is one of the reasons why Philippe fell in love with her.
232	* YamatoNadeshiko: She's more of one than any of the girls in the original game, possibly because she spent most of her life in France and learned the way a Japanese woman is supposed to act largely from books and her own family. As a result, she views Sakura as something of a role model while expressing confusion towards [[RichBitch Sumire]] and [[AmazonianBeauty Kanna]] due to them not fitting the mold.
