| 25 | '''Rarity:''' SSR |
| 26 | ->''"I'm John Mason, the Intelligent Mercenary. I'm sure you've heard of me... What? You haven't?"'' |
| 27 | An unusual mercenary with a doctorate degree in engineering, and the founder of the Mason Mercenary Office. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | He first appears in Episode 2. |
| 30 | ---- |
| 31 | * BadassBookworm: He has a [=PhD=] in engineering. His fancy gadgets, including an AttackDrone that can summon a Corrupted Object? All built by him. |
| 32 | * ButtMonkey: Nothing ever seems to go completely right for this guy. He's constantly broke, people frequently make fun of or insult him, and even when he accomplishes something there's always strings attached. |
| 33 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He's the protagonist of "Bullets and Thorns" and "Mercenary, Thief, and..." |
| 34 | * DistressedDude: His debut scene is Mina and Amy finding him tied up after he was captured by Finley Hired goons. |
| 35 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Despite his title of "Intelligent Mercenary", no one seems to know who he is (except Sylvia), and he tends to be the butt of jokes from Jane Doe and his own secretary. |
| 36 | * ICallItVera: His drone is named Ian Jr. |
| 37 | ** In Episode 8, it seems to have been renamed Jane Killer after she swindled him out of most of his paycheck in "Mercenary, Thief, and..." |
| 38 | * JerkassToOne: He develops a comical distrust of Jane Doe for constantly pulling the wool over his eyes. |
| 39 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Drawn with more realistic features making him more of a {{Hunk}} rather than a {{Bishounen}}. |
| 40 | * PerpetualPoverty: Due to being a normal soldier in a world of superhuman Counters, John tends to take more dangerous missions, but the extra funds are used to buy special bullets for the ''next'' dangerous mission, leading to the RunningGag that his company is on the verge of bankruptcy. It's not helped by Jane stealing any additional money he's made whenever a mission involves her. |
| 41 | * SummonBiggerFish: If his drone survives long enough, it summons a powerful [[EldritchAbomination Corrupted Object]] to attack enemies. This is explained in his Side Story as the result of a device built into it that can attract C.O.s. |
| 42 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: His cooperation with Jake Walker in Episode 8 starts out rough due to their prior history in "Bullets and Thorns". Over time, they seem to smooth things over, culminating in [[spoiler:him helping Jake into the Stormbringer armor and being Jake's MissionControl as he fights against Hollow God Khamimael]]. |
| 43 | * TragicKeepsake: His Exclusive Equipment is a broken Counter Watch that he wears near his left shoulder. [[spoiler:It's never commented on, but it all but explicitly belonged to his late brother Ian since he retrieved it from Ian's corpse.]] |

| 52 | ->''"I'm pretty good at bookkeeping. ...Pardon? An Operator?"'' |
| 53 | A talented bookkeeper who always got involved with the wrong people until she settled down at John Mason's Mercenary Office. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | She first appears in "Bullets and Thorns". |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * BrilliantButLazy: John Mason thinks she's lazy, but given her track record, the less work she has to do, the more transparent the company's finances. To her, working hard means a lot of money laundering. |

| 66 | A shady mercenary who always seems to get on John Mason's nerves. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | She first appears in "Bullets and Thorns", and she's a supporting ally in Episodes 4 and 5. |
| 69 | ---- |
| 70 | * ArmorPiercingResponse: She drops her usual whimsical act when she finds out John named his drone "Ian Jr." [[spoiler:Ian being John's brother and Jane's implied husband/lover.]] |
| 71 | * ChildProdigy: Her "Suspicious Science Girl" skin shows her practicing chemistry as a child. |
| 72 | * TheGadfly: She frequently mocks and irritates John Mason. |
| 73 | * HeroAntagonist: She fights John Mason in "Mercenary, Thief, And..." because [[spoiler:John's client has a C.O. as a pet, which is explicitly illegal]]. |
| 74 | * HuntingTheRogue: Episode 4 opens with her making her escape from [[spoiler:the Replacer Syndicate, with Replacer Queen calling her a rat]]. |
| 75 | * InLoveWithTheMark: [[spoiler:The Replacer Syndicate hired her to keep an eye on Ian Mason, and it's heavily implied that she ended up falling in love with him. From Episode 5 onwards, she even calls John "brother" since they're both connected to Ian.]] |
| 76 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She may be having fun screwing with John, but [[spoiler:she does give him a clue towards avenging Ian in "Bullets and Thorns", she steals his payout from the Replacer Incident to advance her and Ian's research projects for the sake of humanity, and she indirectly gives him a stash of Credits in her fake bomb at the end of "Mercenary, Thief, And..." so he could stay afloat.]] |
| 77 | * MadeOfIron: Episode 4 opens with her surviving a sixth-floor drop while enduring a bullet in her leg and two in her arms. [[spoiler:This is thanks to her perfected Elixir.]] |
| 78 | * MadScientist: [[spoiler:The incomplete Elixir that was distributed through the Magellan Prediction Society was her work as part of the Replacer Syndicate, but she secretly developed [[SuperSerum a safe version of the Elixir]] so that she could put up a fight against the Syndicate.]] |
| 79 | * MeaningfulName: A ''Jane Doe'' usually refers to a woman or soldier whose actual identity is uncertain. In-universe, much of her background is unknown and "Jane Doe" itself is, as expected, a pseudonym. |
| 80 | * ParentalAbandonment: The scene unlocked with her "Suspicious Science Girl" skin reveals that she spent her childhood in an orphanage. |
| 81 | * PutOnABus: Her last appearance is in "Mercenary, Thief, And..." since [[spoiler:she has avenged Ian and is now working on her and Ian's research for the sake of humanity]]. |
| 82 | * SexySlitDress: Her "Secretive Jet" skin mixed with a {{UsefulNotes/Qipao}}. |
| 83 | * SiblingRivalry: [[spoiler:Taking her past and her relationship with Ian into account, she's implied to be invoking this with John since he's the only family she has.]] |

| 89 | '''Role:''' Defender, Ranger (Jerry), Striker (Mickey)\ |
| 90 | '''Rarity:''' R\ |
| 91 | '''Team:''' Tommy and the Losers |
| 92 | ->''""'' |
| 93 | A mercenary with two other lackeys named Jerry and Mickey. The down-on-their-luck trio struggle through thick and thin. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | They first appear in Episode 2. |
| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * BalanceBuff: Jerry and Mickey were updated to correspond with their classes, elevating the trio to a possible LethalJokeCharacter. |
| 98 | * ButtMonkey: So much. Their subtitle is ''Tommy and the Losers''. |
| 99 | * ContinuityNod: "Bullets and Thorns" reveals their past history with John Mason that was mentioned in Episode 2. |
| 100 | * TheDividual: In-story, the three of them are never seen apart despite their bickering. In gameplay, Jerry and Mickey are summoned when Tommy is deployed. |
| 101 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Their debut scene is them being late to a recent scuffle between the protagonist group and the mercenaries aiming for the recent bounty put on the group's heads. Knowing they stand no chance against five Counters, they shamelessly ask John if they can tag along, sensing that they're about to make some serious money. After they shill themselves, John then vouches for their "loyalty", or at least them not being turncoats. |
| 102 | * TheFaceless: The trio's faces are hidden behind their helmets. |
| 103 | * ICallItVera: Mickey calls his shotgun Gran Turismo. |
| 104 | * LethalJokeCharacter: Despite their low stats and rarity, the trio are considered as whatever they are a PaletteSwap of, meaning that together with Tommy you're also deploying a Ranger and a Striker. |
| 105 | * PaletteSwap: Of the regular Steel Lane soldiers, sharing the same appearance but with red armour instead of grey. Tommy is a Shieldman, Jerry is a Rifleman, and Mickey is a Suppressor. |
| 106 | * PluckyComicRelief: They're a trio of bumbling, comedic mercenaries whose dialogue almost always injects some sort of humor into the situation. |
| 107 | * RecurringExtra: |
| 108 | ** In terms of the main story, they appear in Episodes 2, 3, 5, 9, and 10. |
| 109 | ** They also appear in the side stories "Bullets and Thorns", "Mercenary, Thief, And...", and "Neverland Nevermore". |
| 110 | * RecruitmentByRescue: In John Mason's Side Story, he and Jane Doe indirectly help the trio survive their encounter with Jake Walker. By the time of Episode 5, the trio consider themselves part of the Mason Mercenary Office, even though John ''[[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave didn't actually recruit them]]''. In "Mercenary, Thief, And..." Tommy calls John his team's agent. |
| 111 | * SayingTooMuch: In "Mercenary, Thief, And..." Tommy calls John his team's agent within earshot of their client who wants John dead, in turn painting targets on his own team's backs. Fortunately, John manages to deescalate the situation and dupe the client with a prearranged deception tactic. |
| 112 | * SelfAppliedNickname: Jerry and Mickey both think "Tommy and the Losers" is a lame group name, and they swap it with "Jerry and the Raiders" and "Mickey's Gang of Twilight", respectively. |
| 113 | * ShoutOut: Their names are [[Franchise/TomAndJerry Tommy, Jerry]], and [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse Mickey]]. |
| 114 | * SmallNameBigEgo: The trio are mediocre mercenaries, but expect them to one-up each other's boasts to ridiculous levels. |
| 115 | * UndyingLoyalty: Downplayed; while John Mason and their own bio make it clear that they'd never outright ''betray'' a client (unlike most mercenaries), [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere trying to bail when number two hits the fan]] is definitely a possibility. |
| 116 | * TheVoiceless: The trio are unvoiced despite having a lot of dialogue in story cutscenes. |

| 129 | '''Rarity:''' SR |
| 130 | ->''"So you've brought a third-rate villain aboard. Hope you're ready for the backlash from the rest of the world."'' |
| 131 | A member of the Militia, a vigilante group who hunts criminal Counters. Gruff and stubborn, he is relentless in his pursuit of eliminating his targets. |
| 132 | |
| 133 | He is one of the protagonists of "The Weak and the Strong", and he also appears in "For the Uncrying". |
| 134 | ---- |
| 135 | * CapeBusters: As a member of the Militia, he targets criminal Counters primarily. His Passive also gives him and any allied Soldiers (and Lee Yuri) damage resistance against Counters specifically. |
| 136 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: A former cop, he abandoned his career and became an underground assassin after a hostage situation with the Matchmaker led to the deaths of his fellow officers ''and'' the hostage. |
| 137 | * KillItWithFire: Many Counters are resistant to ordinary bullets, so he packs white phosphorus rounds and [=IEDs=]. |
| 138 | * LawmanGoneBad: His encounter with the Matchmaker turned him from cop to vigilante. [[spoiler:Kang Soyoung's last Counter Case reveals that Minwoo was her former boss in SWAT 4, implying that the Matchmaker was the reason for the formation of both the Militia ''and'' the Black Tide (whose founder was also Kang's former superior).]] |
| 139 | * MadeOfIron: The Militia storyline seriously puts him through the wringer, including a couple hits that would've turned normal people into paste, but he just keeps soldiering on. Appropriately enough, he's a Defender in gameplay. |
| 140 | * MentorArchetype: "For the Uncrying" shows that he took up the position of leading Refugee District 6's neighborhood watch and rallying them to protect themselves and the innocent people of the district. The men call him "Instructor" as a result, though he'd prefer not to be referred to as such. He also offers advice to Horizon, having already been in her shoes on a quest for revenge. |
| 141 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In Episode 9.5, [[spoiler:Levia purposefully makes him shoot Kang to give Yuri an opening to escape Yumi, which devastates him. At the end of the Episode, he surrenders himself to the Black Tide, who was searching the destroyed Coffin Company building for survivors]]. |
| 142 | * RetiredOutlaw: After the Matchmaker's defeat, he settled down in Refugee District 6 as part of its neighborhood watch with a day job as a convenience store clerk. Of course, the district is a WretchedHive at the best of times, so his expertise in fighting criminals makes him a valuable addition to the community. |
| 143 | * ShotgunsAreJustBetter: While his primary weapon looks like an assault rifle, it's actually a shotgun that packs a hefty amount of knockback and inflicts area of effect damage. |
| 144 | * SituationalSword: His tankiness comes primarily from his Passive giving him and other Soldiers damage resistance against Counters. Against non-Counter enemies, he goes down far more quickly. |
| 145 | * YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: Despite his acts of what could be counted as blatant terrorism, many civilians believe he and the Militia are in the right. It helps that they primarily target criminal Counters who believe that their powers make them untouchable by the law, even if their own methods can get rather destructive. |

| 155 | |
| 156 | He is a supporting ally in "The Weak and the Strong", and debuted as a Counter Pass unit. |

| 160 | * ILied: [[spoiler:He mentions needing money for his hospitalized sister when he defects to the Matchmakers, but when the Matchmaker brings her up as Jihoon's about to conduct his SuicideAttack, he quips that she already died a long time ago, when "some maniac who sold matches used her as a hostage".]] |
| 161 | * MentorArchetype: He mentors the Militia's new recruits. |
| 162 | * OnceMoreWithClarity: "The Weak and the Strong" opens with Lee Yuri and Kang Minwoo making their escape from a fire and an unknown person, with their comrade Jihoon absent. [[spoiler:That scene is revealed to be set right after Jihoon's suicide bombing.]] |
| 163 | * SecretlyDying: [[spoiler:The next scene after Jihoon's suicide bombing reveals that he had pancreatic cancer, with only six months left to live at best.]] |
| 164 | * SuicideAttack: [[spoiler:When the Matchmaker orders Jihoon to execute a cornered Minwoo and Yuri to prove his new loyalty to the Matchmakers, Jihoon instead primes the explosives strapped to his body to take out the Matchmaker in an explosion as revenge for both the Gunsmith and his younger sister. [[SenselessSacrifice Unfortunately, the Matchmaker survives it.]]]] |

| 175 | |
| 176 | She first appears in Lee Yumi's last Counter Case, and she's the protagonist of "The Weak and the Strong". |
| 177 | ---- |
| 178 | * AmnesiacDissonance: In "The Weak and the Strong", she doesn't remember how her parents died in a fire, and her only clue was the words of someone asking if she was scared, which makes her believe that person to be the culprit. [[spoiler:It turns out that person was the Matchmaker, but he claims he was just in the area when her house went up in flames. The trauma made her forget that she awakened as a Counter.]] |
| 179 | * EarlyBirdCameo: She first appears in Lee Yumi's last Counter Case. |
| 180 | * HunterOfHerOwnKind: She's the Militia's only known Counter, and she specializes in hunting down criminal Counters. As a unit, she gets a massive damage bonus against enemy Counters and can execute up to two low-health Counters via her Ultimate. |
| 181 | * InternalReveal: As a playable character, her status as a Counter is known; in the climax of "The Weak and the Strong", [[spoiler:the Matchmaker reveals this to her (with Minwoo and Jihoon implied to have known for a while)]] and her GuestStarPartyMember version is treated as a Soldier. |
| 182 | * LikeParentUnlikeChild: Episode 9.5 reveals that her father was a cop. She ended up becoming a vigilante. [[LikeFatherLikeDaughter She still wants to protect innocent people like he did, though.]] |
| 183 | * MadeOfIron: Minwoo mentions that her ability to survive things that killed most Militia newbies wasn't just sheer dumb luck. [[spoiler:She was unaware at the time that it was thanks to her Counter status.]] |
| 184 | * OneHitKill: Her Ultimate can instantly kill one non-Boss Counter with less than 30% HP (two at Skill Level 5). |
| 185 | * ParentalAbandonment: She lost her parents when a criminal Counter broke into their home. [[spoiler:By the end of "The Weak and the Strong", she has an idea of the truth, but not the full picture.]] |
| 186 | * PlayingWithFire: Her Counter powers. |
| 187 | * TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:When a defeated Matchmaker tells Yuri that ''she'' may have been the one who killed her parents, she incinerates him in a moment of panic, and the sight of his death by her flames drives her to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone apologize to her parents]] and [[DrivenToSuicide put her gun to her own head]]. It's [[InterruptedSuicide interrupted]] by Minwoo, who tells her that she doesn't have the full truth yet.]] |
| 188 | * TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: It's heavily implied that she gained her Counter powers while [[spoiler:she and Yumi were hiding from the Matchmaker at their parents' request, which tragically ''caused'' the fire that orphaned and distanced the sisters]]. |
| 189 | * TheUnreveal: By the end of "The Weak and the Strong", [[spoiler:it's never explicitly stated whether the cause of her home burning down was her own awakening to her powers or the Matchmaker, but Minwoo believes that it's better that way. Episode 9.5 confirms that it's a mix of both: the fire was ''Yuri's'', but the Matchmaker targeting her dad that night ''triggered it''. The only reason she survived her own flames is the Mansion Master spiking her drink earlier that night when she was spending time with her family in [=ARC-KS1=]]]. |
| 190 | * UnseenNoMore: She debuts as a playable character alongside the event "The Weak and the Strong". |
| 191 | * TheVoice: In Lee Yumi's last Counter Case, Yuri speaks but has no art. It's justified by Yumi not getting a good look at her. |

| 227 | |
| 228 | She first appears in "Fateful Summer", and she's a main character in "The Sun-Calling Tracks" and "Ethereal Moon Splitter". |
| 229 | ---- |
| 230 | * AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp: Using her powers to heal Chifuyu after "The Sun-Calling Tracks" led to her losing the ability to hear the voice of the wind, which she sorely misses as without her foresight she constantly doubts her decisions. |
| 231 | * AncestralWeapon: "The Sun-Calling Tracks" reveals that her sword, the Kusanagi, has been passed down the line of Nanahara leaders. [[spoiler:It was previously used to sacrifice the leader to reinforce Orochi's seal, until Chinatsu discovered a way that no longer needed a sacrifice.]] |
| 232 | * BalanceBuff: Her Rearm enhances her healing and gives her {{Kirin}}-like horns. |
| 233 | * {{BFS}}: Her sword is longer than she is tall. |
| 234 | * BlowYouAway: Attacks with wind, mixed with some {{Cherry Blossom}}s. |
| 235 | * TheChainsOfCommanding: Beneath her serene exterior, Chinatsu is heavily burdened by her role as head of the Family Alliance and is constantly worrying about making the right choices and, in "Ethereal Moon Splitter", wanting to protect everyone without making sacrifices. This ultimately drives Chifuyu to a RageBreakingPoint as Chifuyu very much wants to help share her burden and is frustrated that Chinatsu will not allow her to. |
| 236 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Gets one in the "The Sun-Calling Tracks". |
| 237 | * DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Due to the failed attempt to banish Orochi three years ago, [[ItsAllMyFault she blames herself for allowing the seal to break]] and her prophecy apparently being wrong. She enlists Minato's help to mend the seal, but she does not tell him that it involves her sacrificing herself.]] |
| 238 | * HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:Attempted twice - once in "The Sun-Calling Tracks" to pacify the Plague God by offering herself as a sacrifice (which was ultimately made unnecessary by Chifuyu), and the second time in "Ethereal Moon Splitter" by sacrificing herself to prevent the Nether God's blood from overwhelming her sister (successfully, but [[BackFromTheDead Nao gives up her own Divinity to revive Chinatsu]]).]] |
| 239 | * HiddenBuxom: Her WhatIf skin and Rearm shows that she's actually hiding a pretty ample chest. |
| 240 | ** Averted in the dress she wears in Memorials Vol 1. |
| 241 | * ILied: In "Fateful Summer", this is how she manages to get Chifuyu on to a boat so they could enjoy not having to fight or be so formal. |
| 242 | * {{Miko}}: Her clothing aesthetic. |
| 243 | * NotSoOmniscientAfterAll: While she's gifted with power to foresee the future, what she predicts may not be accurate; in "The Sun-Calling Tracks", three years ago her prediction to bring down Orochi failed and cost many members of the Alliance, giving her massive guilt. [[spoiler:As it turns out, what she predicted might have succeeded had Orochi's servant among the Alliance members not weakened Orochi's seal, thus leaking miasma on the combat ground.]] |
| 244 | * OlderThanSheLooks: She's older than her more mature-looking twin sister Chifuyu. |
| 245 | * {{Seers}}: The Alliance leader is determined by whether they can hear "whispers of the wind" (i.e., the future), and Chinatsu has this power. |
| 246 | * ThemeTwinNaming: "Chinatsu" means "thousand summers" while her sister's name "Chifuyu" means "thousand winters". Also a MeaningfulName, as Chinatsu is warmer and more welcoming than Chifuyu. |

| 258 | ''"Nanahara Chifuyu, first instructor of the Nanahara Style, at your service. It is an honor to greet you once again."'' (Awakened) |
| 259 | A swordmaster who protects her leader, and her elder twin sister, Chinatsu. |
| 260 | |
| 261 | She first appears in "Fateful Summer", she's a major character in "The Sun-Calling Tracks", and she's the protagonist of "Ethereal Moon Splitter". |
| 262 | ---- |
| 263 | * BackToBackBadasses: In the climax of "Ethereal Moon Splitter", she and Sanae fight together to take down [[spoiler:Lenore]]. |
| 264 | * TheChosenOne: "Ethereal Moon Splitter" reveals that [[spoiler:she is the "unexpected child" that the first Nanahara priestess prophecized would awaken the Plague God, which technically comes true twice over: her blood awakened Orochi in "The Sun-Calling Tracks", and she later awakens the blood of the ''other'' Plague God, the Nether God, after seeing Chifuyu sacrifice her own life for her sake]]. |
| 265 | * CriticalStatusBuff: The closer Orochinagi Chifuyu gets to death, the stronger she becomes. At certain health thresholds, she gains an Attack buff and unlocks additional passive bonuses. After dropping to critical health, [[TheJuggernaut she's immune to most hitstuns and Skill Seal and can Blind enemies with her Special]], and at Skill Level 5 [[LastChanceHitPoint she becomes Immortal once when her health is depleted]]. |
| 266 | * DamageIncreasingDebuff: Her Passive lets her lower enemy defense after every two basic attacks (at Skill Level 5, her Special and Ultimate are also counted). |
| 267 | * ADayInTheLimelight: She's a key character in the Nanahara Family Alliance story arc, especially in "Ethereal Moon Splitter". |
| 268 | * ExactWords: In "Ethereal Moon Splitter", Nao requires a "warrior unafraid of all death" to complete the divine treasure Orochinagi, but despite Chifuyu's insistence that she's not afraid to die, Nao insists she's not the one. [[spoiler:That's because she does fear one death: her sister's. So when Chinatsu sacrifices herself to pacify the blood of the Nether God coursing through Chifuyu, Chifuyu is finally able to wield the Orochinagi properly and achieve her Awakened form.]] |
| 269 | * FlowerMotifs: Her sword [[NamedWeapons was named Narcissus by its smith]], and her Awakened form incorporates narcissus flowers into most of her animations. |
| 270 | * IaijutsuPractitioner: Her default form fights this way, drawing her sword from its sheath in wide flourishes and re-sheathing it after attacking. |
| 271 | * ImmuneToFlinching: At Skill Level 5, her Ultimate lets her ignore hitstun from Specials and basic attacks for 15 seconds. |
| 272 | * JackOfAllStats: She's an incredibly versatile frontliner for both offense and defense, with her good natural defense and a kit that can weaken, stun, and silence enemies. |
| 273 | * LadyAndKnight: The Knight to her sister's Lady, swearing to protect her as her bodyguard. |
| 274 | * MasterSwordsman: Of the Nanahara Style. Notably, her Counter Grade is listed as ''D'' (the lowest possible) and only goes up to C in her Awakened form, meaning her Counter abilities are relatively weak and she overcomes opponents with pure swordsmanship. |
| 275 | * MyBloodRunsHot: In her Awakened form, Chifuyu's body temperature rises drastically. It's the first thing about this form that Chinatsu comments on, noting that she'll no longer have to worry about being cold in the winter with Chifuyu by her side. |
| 276 | * MyMasterRightOrWrong: She follows her sister's guidance with no interest in deviating. If given a Lifetime Contract, she also extends this courtesy to the CEO. |
| 277 | * MysticalWhiteHair: Her Awakened form turns her hair from brown to white [[spoiler:as a result of her taking in the power of the Nether God]]. |
| 278 | * PowerNullifier: At Skill Level 5, her Special seals the skills of non-Boss enemies it hits for 5 seconds. |
| 279 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: After [[spoiler:being injected with the Plague God's blood]], Chifuyu becomes a dangerous red-eyed berserker grappling to stay in control of herself. This is one of the ''tamer'' effects it has on people and only because she has enough HeroicWillpower to fight its influence; everyone else subjected to it turned into mindless Corrupted Objects instead. [[spoiler:In her Awakened form, she fully overcomes it and one of her eyes returns to its usual blue.]] |
| 280 | * TheStarscream: [[spoiler:In "The Sun-Calling Tracks", she competes against Chinatsu for position of Alliance leader due to the Alliance elders' doubt on Chinatsu's ability to lead, which both sisters accept. However, Chifuyu took up the challenge so readily because she knows Chinatsu aims to sacrifice herself to seal Orochi; by becoming the leader, [[TakeMeInstead she can sacrifice herself in Chinatsu's place]], thus protecting Chinatsu and giving her back the position.]] |
| 281 | * ThemeTwinNaming: "Chifuyu" means "thousand winters", while her sister's name "Chinatsu" means "thousand summers". It's also a MeaningfulName, as Chifuyu is much more stoic and reserved than her sister. |
| 282 | * TookALevelInBadass: The climax of "Ethereal Moon Splitter" reveals that her Awakened form is the result of [[spoiler:the influence of the Nether God's soul running through her]]. |
| 283 | * YoungerThanSheLooks: Subverted. She looks more mature than her older twin sister Chinatsu. |

He considers all of them friends. |

[[spoiler:He's implied to have some resentment toward Chinatsu for the death of his father, who sacrificed himself to clean up the mess from her failed attempt to seal Orochi three years ago. This is a large part of the reason he's distanced himself from the Alliance. While breaking Sanae out of false imprisonment, he learns that his father's death was orchestrated by Sayo and her co-conspirator Habaki, and is so enraged that he drops his act and wants them dead.

| 483 | * ForcedSleep: Her Ultimate inflicts Sleep on all non-Mech non-Boss enemies for 5 seconds (7 seconds at Skill Level 5), during which they lose up to 15% Defense. |
| 484 | ** In Gauntlets, her Ultimate has extra conditions and effects: it also inflicts Sleep on ''her non-Mech allies'', the duration on each unit depends on their Deployment Cost (3 seconds for Cost 3 or less, 5 seconds for Cost 4 or more, plus 2 more seconds on enemies at Skill Level 5), and her allies recover 3% of their max HP per second while asleep by this skill. |
| 485 | * {{Lunacy}}: Her abilities seem to be tied to the moon, as Lulu tiring herself out causes the moon to appear fuzzy. [[spoiler:When she exhausts herself completely to cure the children held by Wizard, the moon disappears entirely.]] |

| 499 | The top-ranked deliverywoman of Platina Express. |
| 500 | |
| 501 | She is a supporting ally in "Vice President's Holidays", and she's a supporting character in "Otherworld Delivery Disaster". |
| 502 | ---- |
| 503 | * BlandNameProduct: Her food delivery backpack has logos of "Sunday" (Subway), "Pizza Cat" (Pizza Hut), "Starseeker" (Starbucks), and "Dragon Bull" (Red Bull). |
| 504 | * DimensionalTraveler: Her teleportation isn't limited to short distances and can cross into different worlds entirely. In "Vice President's Holidays" she briefly takes Lone Lee on an interdimensional trip for materials, and in "Otherworld Delivery Disaster" she mentions that Platina Express is built on this ability as an [[MundaneMadeAwesome interdimensional delivery company]]. |
| 505 | * {{Expy}}: Of Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog; she wields super speed, she can't swim, and chili dogs are her favorite food. She even has "Super Sonic" written on her shirt. |
| 506 | * KickChick: Her basic attacks, Special, and Ultimate are all various types of kicks. |
| 507 | * MechanicallyUnusualFighter: As a Patrol unit, she bounces between two points on either side of her spot. |
| 508 | * MundaneUtility: Her Counter ability allows her to move at extremely high speeds, described by Sooyeon as [[FlashStep short-distance teleportation]], which can be extended to ''jump into entirely new dimensions'', and it's extremely rare even among Counters. Naturally, it comes in very handy in her job as a deliverywoman. |
| 509 | * RollerbladeGood: She uses rollerblades as her primary form of transportation (not that she needs much else with her speed). |
| 510 | * SuperpowerLottery: Another big winner in the setting, with even Sooyeon noting just how formidable her actual abilities are. [[spoiler:For reference, dimensional travel for the Old Administration required special high-end AppliedPhlebotinum equipment, yet she does it ''as a day job''.]] |
| 511 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chili dogs. |
| 512 | * UnderwearOfPower: Her speedo leaves her legs bare (aside from her knee protection). |
| 513 | * WeaksauceWeakness: In spite of being a fairly powerful Counter, she can't swim. |

| 520 | ---- |
| 521 | * FairCop: Given the art style of the game, neither of them is bad-looking in the slightest. |
| 522 | * LovelyAngels: They share many of the hallmarks of a BuddyCopShow's main characters, with Yumi being the by-the-book stickler and Kang being the renegade CowboyCop. However, they both play with the respective roles under the surface, as Yumi is the naive, reckless newbie while Kang is the experienced veteran who knows the ropes. What doesn't change is that they're fairly good at their job (if prone to TheWorfEffect due to sometimes ending up as the SympatheticInspectorAntagonist). |
| 523 | * OneRiotOneRanger: They're effectively a two-woman police department for tackling Counter crimes. They do sometimes call in Black Tide as backup for sticky situations, though. |
| 524 | * ShoutOut: Their AprilFoolsDay themed "skins" (which only change their [=Live2D=] portraits) are titled [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries "Prepare for Trouble" and "Make it Double".]] Any doubts about it being deliberate is dispelled by the description of Yumi's portrait: |
| 525 | --> "Young Major Lee Yumi runs around every day to protect the world from devastation and unite all people for the [[SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion security]]." |
| 526 | * SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: They show up in a handful of side stories trying (and usually failing) to apprehend the protagonist, usually after said protagonist was framed for a crime. |

| 536 | |
| 537 | She is a main character in "SWAT 4: Unofficial Investigation" and an ally in Episodes 4 and 5. |
| 538 | ---- |
| 539 | * BadassNormal: Just a regular policewoman whose department is specialized to fight Counters. |
| 540 | * BalanceBuff: Given a rearm that increases her Anti-Sniper capabilities. |
| 541 | * CapeBusters: She specializes in dealing with Counter-based crimes, and part of her job is being able to out-think people that have a definitive advantage over her in terms of sheer power. |
| 542 | * CowboyCop: Her Counter Case reveals that she joined the force mainly to be legally able to ignore speed limits. |
| 543 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Weaponized. Her deployment has her [[CarFu driving her policecar into the enemy]], after which [[MolotovTruck it explodes]]. |
| 544 | * HiddenDepths: Behind her playful, cheery demeanor, she's very good at reading people and has a track record of being able to outsmart Counters. Her Counter Case reveals that she used to break track records as a racecar driver a few years back. She also has a strong sense of duty, as she elected to remain in SWAT 4 even as her colleagues either died or left, because someone has to do the job. |
| 545 | * HollywoodPoliceDrivingAcademy: She's not a ''bad'' driver, but absolutely a reckless one; her in-game bio implies that she makes a habit out of crashing patrol cars ([[CarFu usually into Counter perps]]). In "For the Uncrying", the Stronghold leading Black Tide shows apprehension about letting her drive their APC, and sure enough, she plows it right into Horizon. [[PedestrianCrushesCar Horizon was completely unharmed.]] |
| 546 | * KickedUpstairs: For the longest time, she was seen as a throwaway member of the force due to being the last remaining member of SWAT 4. It wasn't until Yumi joined her that the department started being taken seriously again. |
| 547 | * LastNameBasis: Unlike most characters, Kang tends to be referred to by her surname, often with her title included. |
| 548 | * {{Nerf}}: Removed the True Damage buff on her rearm, largely due to [[StraightForTheCommander people using her primarily on the enemy ship]]. |
| 549 | * SummonMagic: Her '''Where's the Location?''' passive summons a Shieldman alongside her. At level 5, it summons Stronghold instead. |

| 561 | She is a main character in "SWAT 4: Unofficial Investigation" and an ally in Episodes 4 and 5. |
| 562 | ---- |
| 563 | * BlackAndWhiteMorality: When she first joined the force, she initially had zero tolerance for criminals. Her Side Story and Counter Cases show her being a bit more hesitant to act when she gets context on why people did crimes. |
| 564 | * ByTheBookCop: Follows police protocols to the letter, and Kang's antics cause no end of exasperation for her. |
| 565 | * GoalInLife: The scene unlocked with her Cookie Store Regular skin reveals that her childhood dream was to both run a bakery and protect the people she loves. [[spoiler:Her parents' deaths and her sister maintaining distance between them so that she can continue as a vigilante after Episode 9.5 make that second goal a distant one.]] |
| 566 | * JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: The SWAT 4 side story has her attempting at one point to execute a user of Elixir (an illegal FantasticDrug that gives people HealingFactor and Counter-like powers at the cost of [[BodyHorror horrible side effects]]). Said user is a ''schoolgirl'' [[spoiler:who used it both in response to bullying and to test it on herself under the belief it would help her injured brother]], and she did so without actually getting authorization to use lethal force, no less. She eventually grows out of the mindset, though. |
| 567 | * LawfulStupid: Her initial mindset is "illegal is illegal, no matter what". Being around Kang helps her gain perspective about criminals and their motives. |
| 568 | * LeeroyJenkins: Enforced. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Her passive grants increased Evasion and decreased attack when deployed.]] In-story, Kang (lightly) chews her out for her tendency to run in by herself with no plan and no backup, stating that previous recruits who acted like her and let their emotions (particularly their hatred of criminal Counters) get the better of them was exactly the sort of thing that led to SWAT 4 getting their support cut in the first place. |
| 569 | * LikeFatherLikeDaughter: Episode 9.5 reveals that her father was also a cop who handled violent crimes. Their last family outing being in [=ARC-KS1=] implies that he was part of that city's police. |

| 571 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Kang Soyoung's Blue. |

| 603 | * GlassCannon: She has high attack power, a DynamicEntry designed to take out backline, and an Ultimate which is a CriticalHit when upgraded, but she also has abysmal defense and less than reliable evasion. |
| 604 | * HeroAntagonist: She serves an antagonistic role in "Old Fear" due to that side story taking place from the perspective of Regina [=MacCready=] and the ESPR. |
| 605 | * IOweYouMyLife: Sir Burnett kept her safe during an attack from the ESPR, and she extends this life debt into employing his grandson Roy to the Prydwen Institution. |

| 607 | * MeaningfulName: Named after the Pendragons, a name attached to King Ulther Pendragon, a King of Britain and father to Myth/KingArthur, and she shares her given name with [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethI two of]] [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethII the most famous]] Queens of Britain. |
| 608 | * PowerGivesYouWings: Gains a pair of angelic white wings in her Rearm, implied by fluff text to be manifested by her Counter powers. [[WingsDoNothing They don't seem to allow actual flight, though, at least in-game.]] |
| 609 | * SexyBacklessOutfit: In her default outfit, she has a cut out in her dress that bares her back and shows she is not wearing a bra. She can also be dressed up in a more revealing bunny girl outfit that not only is strapless, but also bares her back like her default attire. |
| 610 | * SitcomArchNemesis: With Regina [=MacCready=]. In "Great Witch's Legacy", she calls Regina while the latter is on live TV, to say her inability to act scary is disappointing to see in a rival. |
