| 14 | The victim of Week 1 (Case 1). |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: She has no clue what all the modern things are -- and that's modern by Chronos standards, so landline phones and photographs. |

| 30 | * HalfHumanHybrids: She's actually only half alien. |
| 31 | * LastOfHerKind: Of her religion, species, and galaxy. It's why she wanted the one responsible RetGone and killed Christo to do it. |
| 32 | * MundaneObjectAmazement: Alani hasn't seen a lot of Earth things before. A simple coconut fascinates her as she tries to figure out what it's for. |
| 33 | * NoSocialSkills: So far, she's extremely naive and not used to the world. |
| 34 | * PungeonMaster: She finds making puns to be a comforting way to let off steam. |

| 49 | * TheReliableOne: She just takes part in the ParlorGames to make sure no one gets hurt. |
| 50 | * TeamMom: One of three this round. She's a comforting presence for many, even without being TheMedic. It makes her death by punishment all the worse. |

| 61 | * TheSocialExpert: He makes a point of getting to know everyone to see what they'll do. |
| 62 | * SurvivorGuilt: What he tells the others his secret was. It still might be true, to some degree. He also starts to blame himself for the murders happening around him. |
| 63 | * TechnicalPacifist: Bruce feels uncomfortable voting, even if he's okay with threatening torture, because killing crosses his one line. |
| 64 | * TerrorHero: Bruce may seem like a reasonable guy, but he can and will terrify people to get a confession. |
| 65 | %%* VigilanteMan: His ''real'' secret. |

| 75 | * CareerEndingInjury: She sustained a knee injury that caused her to quit skating and, eventually, drove her to suicide before her canon began. |
| 76 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Maybe she gets it from hanging out with a bunch of dead people. |
| 77 | %%* HimeCut: Chiyuki's usual hairstyle. |
| 78 | * NamelessNarrative: All her narration uses "she" and "her" instead of using her actual name, likely because she doesn't seem to have remembered it properly yet. This changes in Week 3, when she basically goes from almost no memories about herself to having pretty much everything, including confirmation on the majority of her profile and including her name. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | !![[VideoGame/Disgaea5 Christo]] |

| 89 | * BigSecret: Christo isn't a demon at all. He's afraid to tell the truth, especially with a canonmate around, but it ends up having nothing to do with why he was murdered. |
| 90 | * TheCynic: Automatically assumes that there will be murders as soon as he spots the rules. |
| 91 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: When Christo tells Killia his real name, he asks him not to share it around because everyone will laugh at it. |
| 92 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: While 'Christo' is the name on the profiles, it's actually a CodeName. His actual name comes up once in deadland: it's [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Lamington]]. |

| 108 | * FemmeFatalons: Elda keeps her nails long, red, and sharp to intimidate people. |
| 109 | * NotAMorningPerson: She's a vampire, what do you expect? |
| 110 | * ScrewPolitenessImASenior: She doesn't believe in kind words, personal space, or anybody other than herself. |
| 111 | * SecretKeeper: Somehow, of all people, she seems to have managed to become this for several others, namely Christo, Chiyuki, and Sportacus. If someone dies, though, keeping any of their secrets is off the table. |
| 112 | * SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: She holds spite for "stupid, naive people who aren't filled with hatred." |
| 113 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: She's tiny enough to pass for her own grandchild, but can toss enemies around like nothing. |

| 126 | * CantHoldHerLiquor: Doesn't usually drink, because she gets drunk so fast. |

| 128 | * ItsAllMyFault: Things she does to try and help sometimes lead to horrible ruin, and she's developed a complex about it. |
| 129 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Estelle loves Killia and Mikazuki, but starts to fear once she survives them both, one dying to save the other, that she may have been a ThirdWheel. She struggles with wanting them to be happy versus wanting her own happiness now that she finally has people she can be close to. |

| 141 | * EvilLaugh: His normal laugh is described as one of these. |
| 142 | * MysteriousParent: While he himself is not this, Gangrel has no idea who his father is. Subverted in that he also doesn't seem to ''care'', nor does it appear to be relevant to the murdergame. |
| 143 | * ObviouslyEvil: He's presented as a poor ruler who hates his neighbouring country and encourages hostilities. Canonblind readers will automatically at least suspect that these political enemies of his are probably the protagonists of his canon. Subverted in that the ''characters'' still tend to think well of him. |
| 144 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Hates the idea of peace and loves to fight. The country he leads is the same, from how he describes it. |
| 145 | * RagsToRiches: Because of the way government in his country works, Gangrel grew up in the slums and became a warrior king. |
| 146 | * ReformedButNotTamed: Honestly, he's ''barely'' reformed by the end, still hating Ylisse and loving violence, but the others still note that he's changed. |

| 155 | |
| 156 | The culprit of Week 4 (Case 4). |

| 158 | * BookDumb: Gold is bored by academics, books, and history, hence choosing a career in sport fighting fresh out of elementary school. |
| 159 | * BrutalHonesty: The boy has no tact whatsoever. He's offended most of the cast in the intro log alone, which such gems as asking Jasper what's wrong with her face and hitting on every woman in sight. |
| 160 | * CasanovaWannabe: Flirts with every woman in the school, age gaps notwithstanding, and is basically the butt of every joke because of it. |
| 161 | * CelebrityCrush: DJ Mary back home. She's listed as a like on his profile. With [[SayItWithHearts hearts]]. |
| 162 | * FearlessFool: When the first culprit is trying to claim innocence, Gold has a plan to prove it: "Strangle me and we'll see if the marks match up!" This is rejected by absolutely everyone. |
| 163 | * FluffyTamer: When Lusamine tells stories about threatening or scary Pokémon, Gold decides that he wants some. |

| 170 | * WouldntHitAGirl: He says he'll go easy on Noir if she turns out to be like the Wordsmith (which she does), because she's a girl, and won't harass her like he does the Wordsmith. |

| 184 | * LikesOlderWomen: Lusamine is twenty years his senior and he still finds her attractive, not that she seems to notice. |
| 185 | * MagikarpPower: Guzma says this is why he loves and specializes in the Bug-type. They have a reputation for being weak pests, but if you know how to work with them, they'll grow to be powerful and effective. |
| 186 | * NobodyTouchesTheHair: He gets uncomfortable with it when Milla tries, but lets her do it anyway. |
| 187 | * SpikyHair: It fits with his rebellious image. |
| 188 | * TrademarkFavouriteFood: Tapu Cocoa, a brand of hot chocolate mix from his world. He has to deal with just the generic stuff they have in the school instead. |

| 196 | ---- |
| 197 | * AntiAntiChrist: Hanyuu was thought of as a GodOfEvil for centuries and nearly believed it herself, but works for the benefit of all anyway. She appeals to Avenger on the same grounds, saying that it can ScrewDestiny too. |

| 206 | * TeamMom: One of three this round. She has this relationship with ''some'' of the younger cast members, like Silver, Gold, and Vanille. With Orihime and Watanuki, it's [[ShipTease a little different]]. Hanyuu also takes very strongly to Alani, since she reminds her of her daughter. Because of that she ''really'' does not take the second trial well. |
| 207 | * TheUnpronounceable: Just about everybody comments on her name as listed on the profiles: "Hai=Ryuun Ieasomuuru Jeda." |
| 208 | * VerbalTic: "Hauau" and related. |

| 218 | * BizarreAlienBiology: She's an alien rock projecting a solid light body. |

| 220 | * TheNeedless: Tells the others that she doesn't need to eat, breathe, or sleep. |
| 221 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Assigned to be a soldier under her home's FantasticCasteSystem, she takes a lot of pride in her abilities. |

| 229 | Punished by the Wordsmith during Week 4. |
| 230 | ---- |
| 231 | * BunniesForCuteness: She's definitely cute (and inspires CutenessProximity in others). However, she hates being called cute, because it's a common microaggression in the FantasticRacism of her world. |
| 232 | * ExpressiveEars: Since she's a rabbit, Judy's ears move and show her emotions. |
| 233 | * ALizardNamedLiz: She's the current page image. |

| 248 | %%* PointyEars: Just like his canonmate. |

| 251 | * ShonenHair: Spiky, short, wild, you get the idea. |
| 252 | * StepfordSmiler: Something similar, where he throws himself into his training so he can pretend he's fine. |
| 253 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: Though he holds his off for longer than Mahiru did, considering that she took breaks and put hers in charge for trials, Killia's original self, Killidia, is this. |
| 254 | * SurvivorGuilt: Killia develops this in week four after some memory regains, though he already had some after week two. |
| 255 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: He wears... is that an open vest? Whatever it is, it isn't a shirt. |

| 280 | ---- |
| 281 | * {{Bifauxnen}}: Has short hair and wears business suits or the unisex school uniform. |
| 282 | * CasualDangerDialog: Often engages in this to look less afraid and more in control. |
| 283 | * TheCynic: Will gladly admit that she's not the optimistic type. |
| 284 | * HiddenDisdainReveal: Kyrie is shocked and angry when her profile outs "Dislikes: Her stepson", which she'd hidden well at home. Okay, [[SwitchedAtBirth he's not her stepson]], but ''she'' doesn't know that. |

| 295 | * AnimalMotifs: Gold thinks Lusamine looks like a Gardevoir, and she likens herself to one as well due to her fixation on beauty and devotion. |
| 296 | * ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Given how she acts in canon, especially when she finally admits defeat and calls her rebellious child beautiful instead of a disappointment, and how Gangrel's violent chaos clashes with her order complex, Lusamine's BelligerentSexualTension with Gangrel starts to look like a {{tsundere}} version of this. |
| 297 | * NightmareFetishist: Lusamine is fascinated by the execution shadow and wants to capture and study it for herself. Guzma starts telling people that he's worried she'll get herself killed thinking it's trapped and trying to save it. |

| 299 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She's 43 and looks 18. |
| 300 | * SkewedPriorities: Instead of bringing up the obvious, like kidnapping, she first complains that they've listed her age and weight on the profile. |
| 301 | %%* SitcomArchNemesis: To Gangrel. |
| 302 | * TeamMom: One of three this round. It's even her title! She takes great offense to children even being here. Hopefully no one asks about biological children, though. |
| 303 | * {{Troll}}: Because Watanuki is so afraid to summon ghosts into the school with the candle ritual he described, Lusamine promptly gets all the candles from the supply closet and decides to try it, claiming it's ForScience. |

| 309 | |
| 310 | The culprit of Week 7 (Case 7). |
| 311 | ---- |
| 312 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Has moon shapes in his eyes, hence his name. |
| 313 | * HonorBeforeReason: He was well prepared to admit to killing Orihime right away, but when everyone said they wanted to solve the case properly, Mikazuki obliged. |
| 314 | * ICallItVera: Not only is he subject to this himself (being a sword), he encourages Estelle to name her swords, too, to make them happier. |
| 315 | * LastNameBasis: He's always called Mikazuki. |
| 316 | * MoeAnthropomorphism: A sword turned human for fangirl appeal. His sword form is his own dead renewable regain. |
| 317 | * SpiritedCompetitor: While he's no [[BloodKnight Zagi]], he likes to fight in order to test his skills. |

| 323 | |
| 324 | Punished by the Wordsmith during Week 3. |
| 325 | ---- |
| 326 | * CuddleBug: She regularly hugs, pets, and otherwise touches people because she's read that humans derive comfort from it. This can get awkward. |
| 327 | -->'''Milla:''' My apologies. I forgot not all humans are comfortable with physical contact.\ |
| 328 | '''Guzma:''' ...it's just a weird thing to grab people's faces. |
| 329 | * FishOutOfWater: Milla doesn't understand human things and will easily admit it. |
| 330 | * LossOfIdentity: The second week sends her into a funk when she realizes something life-changing about her identity. |

| 336 | ->"Well, you've ''really'' narrowed it down there with that question. It looks like only about 95% of the people here had an idea, which really narrows down our suspect list! Great job, team, we'll catch the murderer in no time!" |
| 337 | |
| 338 | Punished by the Wordsmith during Week 4. |
| 339 | ---- |
| 340 | * ConMan: Though his profile indicates that he's turned himself around, he wakes up as this with his initial memories and assumes that what his profile says is part of another con. Nick rolls with it. |
| 341 | * CrazyCulturalComparison. He starts out making a number of these to the worlds people talk about, as he's ''not'' used to humanoids. He also thought they all just had really weird shaving habits. |
| 342 | * DeadpanSnarker: Nick is cynical, harsh, and has a wry comment for every situation. |
| 343 | * TheGambler: He likes to gamble on card games. |
| 344 | * ALizardNamedLiz: His surname is a pun on "wild," and he's a fox. |
| 345 | * SarcasmMode: Drops into this to disparage people when he doesn't think they're doing well, which, given his cynical attitude, is often. |

| 355 | * CutenessProximity: Around anything small and fluffy, as poor Nick found out. |

| 358 | * ImportantHaircut: Gets one to show her HeroicResolve. |
| 359 | * ShipperOnDeck: For Gold/Silver and Kimbley/Kira especially. She's horrified when Kira throws Kimbley under the bus. |

| 378 | |
| 379 | Made it to the survivor pool. |
| 380 | ---- |
| 381 | * CuriousAsAMonkey: Silver's curiosity at what the other Apprentices are up to regularly gets in the way of self-preservation. |
| 382 | * HotSauceDrinking: While it's a common penalty in ParlorGames for every round, Silver does this ''willingly''. |
| 383 | * IWorkAlone: He's so used to saying this and acting this way, first to stay safe himself and later to [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies keep the friends he does have out of trouble]], that he comes off as a stubborn IneffectualLoner even when he ''tries'' to make friends. |
| 384 | * MarriedToTheJob: He doesn't have time for relationships at home as a result, and says as much. Less of a job and more of a [[ItsAllMyFault responsibility]]. |
| 385 | * MenDontCry: Internally denies crying tears of joy when he's reunited with his Weavile. |
| 386 | * OneNoteCook: Can only make eggs. |
| 387 | * PromotedToPlayable: Silver, like Kimbley, was an important figure in Round 2's backstory but was not actually in play before Round 4. He even keeps his game title from Archer's round. |
| 388 | * TheQuietOne: He's got the expression range of TheStoic, but he's been shown to have [[BewareTheQuietOnes plenty of feelings too]], giving him this. Contrasts obviously with [[HotBlooded his best friend]]. |

| 394 | |
| 395 | Made it to the survivor pool. |
| 396 | ---- |
| 397 | * BlackAndWhiteMorality: Sportacus views the world with all the nuance of a preschool show. The murders have given him a lot of worry about this, especially when there's a SympatheticMurderer. |
| 398 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He believes in a lot of strange things, never properly clarifies anything when he's asked to, and bounces around (literally) with an incomprehensible zest for exercise. |
| 399 | * LovableJock: An overly positive person who loves exercise and social interaction. |
| 400 | * NeverBareheaded: Sportacus even wears his hat to the pool. |
| 401 | * ThePollyanna: Has the most optimistic and least reasonable explanations for anything. |
| 402 | * ARareSentence: Only once in his life, when it's a matter of life and death, does he say that everyone has to eat candy. |
| 403 | * RealMenHateSugar: At first he seems like this, but then it turns out that he's not trying to look cool, he's just a health nut. |
| 404 | * SincerityMode: Even when saying things that would usually be taken otherwise. |
| 405 | * TrademarkFavouriteFood: "Sports candy," which turns out to be an UnusualEuphemism for any vegetable that children he's supposed to be a role model for would otherwise [[StockYuck avoid]]. |

| 423 | |
| 424 | One of the victims of Week 5 (Case 5). |
| 425 | ---- |
| 426 | * CameraFiend: A variant. Instead of taking pictures, Varric records everything in a notebook. |
| 427 | * TheNicknamer: Gives silly nicknames to people, like "Bubbles" for Vanille or "Scribbles" for Noir. |
| 428 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Declares that he'll be this for Kimbley. |
| 429 | * OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Short, buff, noble, likes manual work, check. |
| 430 | * TeamDad: He's already started acting this way towards the younger people in the group, such as Estelle, Vanille, Watanuki, Orihime, and Adelina. This causes the latter's death to hit him pretty hard. |
| 431 | |
| 432 | !![[Anime/YuriOnIce Viktor Nikiforov]] |
| 433 | !!!Capricious |
| 434 | [[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/viktor.png]] |
| 435 | ->"I'd be disappointed if you gave me anything less than a ten." |
| 436 | |
| 437 | One of the victims of Week 5 (Case 5). |
| 438 | ---- |
| 439 | * CutenessProximity: Gets this reaction to a lot of things, like seeing Hanyuu in a nightcap or a plush toy of his dog. |
| 440 | * MrFanservice: Even though he's taken and extremely devoted, Viktor is pretty shameless about his looks, including skinny-dipping in the ''public'' school pool. |
| 441 | * ThePerilsOfBeingTheBest: His career as a top skater was weighing hard on him, which is his secret in the Week 3 motive. |
| 442 | * PrematurelyGreyHaired: He's actually like that naturally, but Gold suspects it's this instead. |
| 443 | * RealMenWearPink: Viktor sews, one of his regains is a stuffed toy, his dog is a poodle and not a "manlier" breed, he embraces the frills and sparkles of figure skating when other skaters try to overcompensate and focus on how tough the sport is to look manly, and he's a hopeless romantic. |
| 444 | * RepetitiveName: As he admits when the group starts talking about names, his full name "means Winner Winner Winnerson." |
| 445 | * RollerbladeGood: After getting Kimbley's roller skates. |
| 446 | * TheTeamNormal: The only completely ordinary person from a completely ordinary world, surrounded by people with superpowers, gods, {{Badass Normal}}s, and more. |

| 453 | The culprit of Week 3 (Case 3). |
| 454 | ---- |
| 455 | * FakinMacGuffin: Stabbed himself with the [[UselessItem meteorite arrow]] assuming it was the MacGuffin from [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure his canon.]] |
| 456 | * FalseFriend: While he at first doesn't want to get close to anyone in the first place, he lets Kimbley try and befriend (and hit on) him, then frames him for murder and asks if he really thought Kira cared. |
| 457 | * FemmeFatalons: Male version, tying into his [[AnimalMotifs cat motif]]. |
| 458 | * TheGenericGuy: His title. He admits to Kimbley that he's actively trying to be this. |
| 459 | * HatedByAll: His trial marks the first time the more empathetic members of the group don't have trouble voting for the the culprit since they're so disgusted with him by that point. |
| 460 | * LastNameBasis: He goes by his surname most likely to distance himself from people. |
| 461 | %%* NeatFreak: It even absolves him of a murder! |
| 462 | * NeverMyFault: Found out as a serial killer? It's everyone else's fault for judging him! Get executed? It's his Stand's fault for being blocked in the school! He even says flat-out that he's done nothing wrong. |
| 463 | * NoSocialSkills: He's very antisocial and wants to go through life unnoticed. |
| 464 | * OnlySaneMan: He describes himself as this and theorizes that it's why he's apparently so average, it's a talent. Of course, he's far from this. |
| 465 | * PercussiveTherapy: Kira takes his anger out on inanimate objects, like when he starts beating up his podium upon waking up in deadland. |
| 466 | |

| 470 | ->"''Surprise,'' you were right, I'm a terrible person!" |
| 471 | |
| 472 | The victim of Week 4 (Case 4). |
| 473 | ---- |
| 474 | * DeadlyEuphemism: His profile mentions that he likes fireworks, and he even told Viktor during Truth Or Dare that he was arrested for setting them off in places they weren't appreciated. During the third trial, it becomes obvious that "fireworks" is his preferred euphemism for using explosive magic or alchemy [[WhyAmITicking to kill people]]. |
| 475 | * ForgetsToEat: When he discovers the chem lab, he spends the entire day in there and neglects basic needs. This seems to be a thing for him. |
| 476 | * JerkAss: In every trial so far, he's voted for someone who wasn't the killer just to be a jerk. Except the third, where Varric voted wrong for him because it was what Kimbley would normally do. |
| 477 | * TheKlutz: As per canon, he's like this whenever the plot doesn't require him to start doing handsprings. He's [[GracefulInTheirElement graceful in his element]] and that element is the RuleOfCool. |
| 478 | * LastNameBasis: Like Watanuki and Kira. Kimbley actually insists on it from everyone. |
| 479 | * NinetiesHair: A mullet-ponytail hybrid that even he thinks is ridiculous. |
| 480 | * PromotedToPlayable: 2003 Kimbley first appeared in Round 2's backstory and, ambiguously, Round 1's notes. He even keeps his game title from Hilda's round, even though his manga counterpart was called Observant. |

| 483 | [[folder:The Wordsmith & Others]] |
| 484 | !!The Wordsmith/[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Kirei Kotomine]] |
| 485 | !!!Wordsmith |
| 486 | |
| 487 | ->"For our time together, you may refer to me as the Wordsmith. I do hope that you all endeavour to make the most of your time spent here, however you may choose." |
| 488 | ---- |
| 489 | * AlternateContinuity: Among other things surrounding the end of ''Literature/FateZero'', beat Kiritsugu to finding [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou]] in the aftermath of the Fuyuki disaster. Making him a Kotomine instead of an Emiya. |
| 490 | * AlternateSelf: Much like the Conductor, the Wordsmith has flat-out AU origins ''before'' coming into contact with Murdervaults, Inc., and like him, this led to a bad-end AU. |
| 491 | * BadassPreacher: Claims that all the survivors working together couldn't beat him in a fight. Though it didn't come to that, ''he's right''. |
| 492 | * BrickJoke: A meta one. After being TheDreaded and suspected mastermind in ''Roleplay/DanganRoleplay's'' continuity, several years later the same player came out with him as the ''actual'' mastermind in a completely different game. |
| 493 | * ChurchMilitant: His origins, at least before things got [[{{Pun}} completely unholy]]. |
| 494 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He doesn't tell outright lies (but lying through omission is fine), and dislikes suicide to the point that he indirectly tipped Elda off to the fact that Hanyuu was considering it. Given his origins as a ChurchMilitant for the former and his specific background for the latter, both make a surprising amount of sense. |
| 495 | * JerkAss: While the Conductor was at least FauxAffablyEvil, the Kingmaker was kind of a jerk but honest and eventually gave awkward apologies when he crossed too many lines, and the Adjudicator was if anything just a socially stunted AntiVillain, the Wordsmith makes no secret that he doesn't like the Apprentices. He won't even tell them they've done well if a trial was enough of a disaster, even when they win. |
| 496 | %%* MoralityChain: In this case, a long since ''broken'' chain in the form of Claudia Ortensia. Hanyuu also seems to have qualified. |
| 497 | * NonAnswer: Gives these all the time to try and drive people to take initiative and kill. |
| 498 | * OffingTheOffspring: Did this in backstory to his son, half to see him despair and half because he needed him for his plan. |
| 499 | * PhotographicMemory: Practically, anyway. |
| 500 | -->"I didn't memorize every single detail of everyone's lives. Just most of them." |
| 501 | %%* SadistTeacher: He styles himself as one. |
| 502 | * SenselessSacrifice: His view of ''any'' self-sacrifice. |
| 503 | * SinisterMinister: Ironically, this round was often said to "need religion" and its horrors called "unholy" long before this was revealed about him. |
| 504 | * VagueAge: The Wordsmith describes himself as ''approximately'' 37, not exactly. This may indicate that he doesn't know his own age, that he's from a planet or world that measures time differently, or that he's just being difficult. It's the latter. |
| 505 | |
| 506 | !!Noir/Hilda Larimore |
| 507 | |
| 508 | ->"I've never heard of games like this that are nonlethal, though. Usually, the lethality of it is the point." |
| 509 | ---- |
| 510 | * CanonCharacterAllAlong: Noir was actually an established character, but it's ''not'' Glory. She's actually Hilda, the mastermind of the round that begat Archer's and then R2. |
| 511 | * {{Goth}}: She gives off this image. |
| 512 | * KnightTemplar: Noir believes strongly in "punishing evildoers," and she judges people pretty hard. |
| 513 | * LineOfSightName: Chiyuki gave her the name "Noir" by looking at her shirt and hair. |
| 514 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Much like another deadland NPC, Round 2's Ambitious, she's known by "Noir" until the very end. |
| 515 | * PerpetualFrowner: Her default expression is serious and severe. |
| 516 | * RavenHairIvorySkin: This and her all-black wardrobe give her the nickname "Noir." |
| 517 | * TrueFinalBoss: When she's possessed by Angra Mainyu, she serves as this after the group's adopted Kirei. |
| 518 | * VirtualGhost: Gives off the impression that she might be similar to Glory, if not flat-out an AlternateSelf of her. However, this is disproved. |
| 519 | |
| 520 | !!Ziska |
| 521 | |
| 522 | ->"Oh, I don't have very many problems! It sounds like you guys are dealing with a lot, though." |
