24
25A mysterious SuperSoldier who was awakened by the last surviving humans as their final trump card against the alien invasion. She awakens as a blank slate, being extremely naive and lacking direction. As time passes, she recovers her lost memories and discovers her motivation to fight. Her true name is "Stella", a clone of the alien being called "Sing Love". She was deliberately designed to be an imperfect clone, ironically giving her the ability to retain her memories and making her the grand culmination of White★Rock Shooter's plot.
26----
27[[AC:General Tropes]]
28* ArtificialHuman: Stella is a clone of the alien named Sing Love, or White★Rock Shooter's previous persona.
29* BayonetYa: She uses the attached blade on her cannon's muzzle when breaking some destructible crates.
30* {{BFS}}: BB Genocide makes a very long BFS projection of the Black Blade which covers an entire arc of the battlefield with just one swing.
31* ChainsawGood: The upgrade of the War Hammer skill named Steel Cutter, transforms her melee weapon into a one-handed chainsaw.
32* CharacterDevelopment: Similar to Rock from the ''Innocent Soul'' manga, Stella starts off as a stoic EmotionlessGirl and eventually grows into someone with a reason to live other than fighting.
33* TheChosenOne: Stella is considered as the only perfect clone of White★Rock Shooter, which is why the other Apostles call her "White" among the "Grays".
34%%* CloneAngst: She is a clone of White★Rock Shooter.
35%%* CoolBike: It even has swords attached to it!
36* CostumeEvolution: For the latter half of the game, she obtains new clothes called the "Booster Unit" (ブースターユニット, ''būsutā yunitto'') from Nana Gray, which has a small jet engine affixed to a pair of mechanical wings mounted on the lower back of her jacket. This outfit grants better heat management during evasive manuveurs in-game.
37%%* EmotionlessGirl: Even the Seven Apostles have more range of emotion than B★RS. And they are ''the bad guys''.
38%%* {{Expy}}: In her flashbacks, her younger self looks exactly like Mato Kuroi did in her youth.
39* FishOutOfTemporalWater: As it turns out, being preserved sleeping in a statis pod did this to her. And the PSS has to explain or demonstrate new things to Stella, even the act of shaking hands.
40%%* {{Foil}}: If the opposing PaletteSwap, physical appearance and names do not make it obvious yet, she is this to W★RS. While our protagonist desires to be with her newly-found comrades, W★RS has no qualms about neblading her clones. And while Stella has her flaming eye on the left side, W★RS has hers on the right. - Needs to be reworked
41* GoodScarsEvilScars: Like her original and OVA counterparts, she has two scars on her midriff. But this time, they resemble barcodes, fitting for the game's theme revolving around machines and clones.
42* ItIsDehumanizing: Phobos occassionally refers to Stella as an "it" or "thing" after waking her up. Rothcall calls him out on this.
43%%* JeanneDArchetype: One PSS member compares her to Joan of Arc, but Rothcall rebuts by saying she's more of a "Sapphire Girl". - Elaborate on *why* she's a copy of Jeanne
44%%* KatanasAreJustBetter
45* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Stella has no memories of her past upon waking up, but she experiences flashbacks of her younger days with Prof. Gibson every time the PSS members mention something similar to what the professor told her before.
46* LastOfHerKind: She lives in a world after almost everyone else is dead.
47* MeaningfulName: B★RS's real name, Stella, which is Latin for "star", the ArcSymbol of the franchise.
48* MorphWeapon: Her cannon and melee weapons change, or transform into other weapons depending on the skill used.
49* SealedBadassInACan: B★RS seems to be one in the game, as she is first shown sleeping inside a statis pod, with the game starting off just as she is awakened by the PSS.
50* SecretWeapon: She is viewed as humanity's last stand and ultimate weapon against the invading aliens.
51* ShipTease: With Rothcall, being the first human she interacted, and spends most of her conversation with during the first half of the game.
52* SmallGirlBigGun: And how. Compared to the rest of her incarnations, Stella is always seen carrying that BFG on her shoulders, which is appropriately as tall as her.
53* SuperSoldier: Being a clone of an alien, she has a lot ofbextraordinary physical capabilities for a soldier. Phobos even notes in Stella's document that she is "stronger than ten missiles".
54* WallRun: In New York, Stella vertically wall-runs a tower to reach MZMA who is waiting on the roof.
55
56[[AC:Manga Tropes]]
57* AdaptationalBadass: Stella is more combat-focused even after waking up, rather than spacing out in the game. She even gets some upgrades to the ★rock Cannon earlier on, such as the mid-game "Gatling gun" transformation as early as the first chapter.
58* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Stella appears to possess a hidden skill, called "Initium Sajite" (イニティウム・サジテ) that she uses against W★RS's "Sing Love". With it, she generates an energy arrow from her flaming eye, before transforming her cannon into a massive bow that she then fires said arrow from. The collision of the two skills blows a hole in the moon.
59* BigEater: She eats rations worth of several people's for breakfast, and during the "Black★Rock School" chapter, her lunch box is as large as her classroom table.
60* DreamingOfTimesGoneBy: Chapter 2 starts with her dreaming about the times when she was still a little child under Professor Gibson's care, just before she was passed on to the PSS.
61* FakingTheDead: Since Stella's bullets are too slow for MEFE's flash-step, she feints defeat so that MEFE will grab her up close. It is during this instance where Stella activates Aggressor Mode and cuts off MEFE's arm with her sword.
62* GhostMemory: The Memory Unit that Nana places Stella into doesn't actually contain the lost memories of the latter, but rather Sing Love's. Although Stella retains her original personality, the only thing changed is that she was able to see the past from Sing Love's perspective.
63* HeroicSecondWind: Thanks to Rothcall's advice, she is able to turn the strength gained from ThePowerOfHate into a strength gained from the desire to protect others. This also hears her injuries!
64* HeroicWillpower: She is able to resist Nana's attempts to [[BrainUploading delete parts of her memory]] while still sleeping inside the [[TransferableMemory Memory Unit]].
65%%* NewTransferStudent: Her role in the "Black★Rock School" {{Yonkoma}} chapter.
66* NoSenseOfHumor: Stella addresses Rothcol as Lolicol (ロリコル, rorikoru) for a while after PHOBOS coined the name via PSS call. She never actually understood the joke and never finds out why the other males found this to be funny.
67* ThePowerOfHate: Sing Love notes that all of her clones also gained this ability, and Stella is no exception. The protagonist entered this state after being badly beaten by Sing Love, and it covers her body in a pitch-black color.
68* ThatManIsDead: Upon finding Stella, LLWO rages and attacks her, but Stella refuses to fight back; Instead, she just apologizes. Eventually, he gives up fighting, saying to Stella, "The you that killed MEFE is no longer here".

76
77A lonely girl who acts as B★RS' counterpart and main ally in the latter half of the game. She is a "Gray", a mass-production clone of "Sing Love" designed to fight the alien invasion. Like all Grays, her memories degenerate over time, which causes her a great deal of distress.

85* TheMole: She struck a deal with the aliens to deliver B★RS to them in exchange for her freedom.
86* SevenIsNana: How [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Nana]] Gray got her name. At first, she believes that it was just a clone designation number, but it was revealed to have an implication on her birthday.
87* TheUnfavourite: Nana Gray believes herself to be one, since Prof. Gibson didn't give her a proper name. He did, Nana is the name given to her. It's all a tragic misunderstanding.

89[[AC:Manga Tropes]]
90* EarlyBirdCameo: She appears on the first chapter, sitting near Stella's pod.
91* HeroicSacrifice: She attempts to fight Sing Love alone by tricking Stella into an escape shuttle back to Earth.
92* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: For all the miserable things that happened in her past, she aims to take revenge against ''everyone'' responsible.
93--> Papa. Mankind and You... Will taste my vengeance.
94* WhamLine: At the end of Chapter 7, she reveals that the contents of the Memory Unit aren't Stella's

102----
103* BigDamnHeroes: They rescue Stella who almost lost consciousness to MEFE's NeckLift by firing at the latter, also enlightening Stella that the alien in front of her is an enemy.
104* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: While Phobos is the only PSS member not wearing the traditional soldier equipment and that everyone else had their helmets on during the first mission, they take them off as they introduce themselves to Stella and are never seen wearing them again for the rest of the game. During the first stage, Rothcall is the first PSS soldier to take off his helmet to prove that they are allied to Stella.
105* LaResistance: Against the invading alien forces, of which B★RS becomes a member, while also being their ultimate weapon.
106* MarsNeedsWomen: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since the last humans left on Earth are a group of males, and one of their goals is to restore the ecosystem. Rothcall even explains the process of reproduction to Stella as a necessity considering the state they are living now.
107--> That's right, we need girls to keep humanity alive.
108* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: All of them have backstories explaining their motivations for becoming soldiers. Yet, they are desperate for hot chicks, considering that all of them are males.
109* ShutUpHannibal: At the slightest, they don't pity a defeated MEFE who is desperately begging for her life, calling out for LLWO to save her.
110--> What a joke. On a whim, you killed our families and our loved ones. Die.

120* CharacterCatchphrase: "Tally, ho!"
121* EmbarrassingNickname: Stella calls him [[LoliconAndShotacon Lolicol]] after hearing PHOBOS mention the name via a PSS call. For her innocence, she never actually finds out why Rothcall's comrades call him this.
122%%* ShipTease: With Stella.
123* TragicKeepsake: Stella goes as far as risking her life protecting a ''can of cherries'' from XNFE's attack, because it is the only memento that would remind her of Rothcall.
124
125[[AC:Manga Tropes]]
126* MrExposition: While the game tries its best to distribute the expositions among several characters, Rothcall does most, if not all of the backstory explanations here.
127[[/folder]]
128
129[[folder:Phobos]]
130The acting field leader of the PSS
131----
132[[AC:General Tropes]]
133* DeadpanSnarker: He has no qualms about counting down the number of remaining humans every time one of his soldiers die. In the manga, he also mentions a line when Rothcall is accompanying Stella outside the field.
134--> Yo Lolicall, how's your date going?
135* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Being the leader of the remaining survivors who are out on the field, he displays professionalism when it comes to commanding his comrades, and often instructs them to act serious when the situation calls for it. However, this trait gets [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when he loses his temper, but he does have acceptable reasons to be angry towards his men, or Stella.
136
137[[AC:Manga Tropes]]
138* DopeSlap: Gives one to Stella after the latter manages to release her cannon.
139
140[[/folder]]

153----
154* KilledOffForReal: None of them make it out alive at the end of the game, with no chances of recovering despite their implied durability.
155** MEFE is the first Apostle to die. Her remains are later nebladed by LLWO.
156* SevenDeadlySins: To a surprise, each of the Seven Apostles are these.
157** MEFE is quite '''Lustful''' towards young girls.
158** MZMA has the '''Pride''' of a [[SmallNameBigEgo Ted Baxter]]. Sort of, he's second weakest.
159** SZZU rides on CRKY, giving her the sin of '''Sloth'''.
160** CKRY, implied to have eaten MZMA, is '''Gluttony'''.
161** Being the smallest and needing the bunny turrets to move a reasonable speed, XNFE is appropriately '''Envy'''.

177%%* BlackMagicianGirl: MEFE invokes this by her physical appearance.
178%%* BloodLust: Apparently, she likes drinking people's blood. - Needs to be reworked
179* BigEater: Implied. MEFE likes to discuss any topic that focuses on food and eating. And at one point during her [[ADayInTheLimelight character episode]], she makes a very big deal about the difference between a "full-course meal" and a "main dish".
180%%* GratuitousSpanish: Uses it constantly.
181* HotWitch: She certainly gives off this vibe, with her witch hat and seductive undertones.
182* LecherousLicking: MEFE licks Stella's cheek when introducing herself. The emotionless clone doesn't react negatively to this though, as she doesn't know the meaning of that gesture.
183* MysteriousWatcher: Intentionally acts like this in the first Stage, just to lure Stella away from the PSS.
184* NeckLift: Does this to Stella just after introducing herself. The clone does not fight back immediately since she didn't consider her as a threat. Stella could have lost consciousness if not for the [[BigDamnHeroes timely distraction]] of the PSS, who reminded her that MEFE is a hostile alien.
185* NoSell: The bullets of the PSS guns did noting but distract her.
186* NotSoAboveItAll: She may be an alien, but in her character episode, MEFE suggests that the Apostles should at least implement human customs in their lifestyle, including holidays like Christmas and Halloween.
187* SexyBacklessOutfit: Adding to her seductive appeal, there is a V-shaped opening on her outfit which exposes her back.
188
189[[AC:Manga Tropes]]

193* FingerLickinEvil: MEFE licks her claw after seeing Stella for the first time.
194* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: MEFE does a chest-to-chest contact, touches the left side of Stella's cheek and licks the other side. And they even retain this position after a few lines of conversation.
195* PrecisionFStrike: MEFE shouts "Hijo de Puta", or "son of a whore" after suffering a fatal blow from Stella's surprise attack.
196* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: In the "Black★Rock School" 4-koma, she exposes her shoulder by letting loose of her uniform in front of Rothcall when the NewTransferStudent Stella arrives.

206----
207[[AC:General Tropes]]
208* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: His fellow Apostles do not share his passion for movies and thus, he is often left alone in his own personal worldly preferences.
209* {{BFS}}: A huge BoomStick that serves him well in close combat.
210* TheBrute: He likes to boast and fight recklessly.
211* DoppelgangerSpin: Can create decoy clones of himself in his boss fights against Stella.
212%%* EvilRedhead: [[RunningGag With]] [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow matching eyes]].
213* FashionableAsymmetry: His left eye is covered with an ornament, his gloves have mismatched colors, and his right boot is larger and has a different color than the left.
214* TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson: He is a big fan of ''western movies''. Strangely enough for an alien, as he also likes to play as director and find the "ultimate form of entertainment". In the manga, he also [[ShoutOut drops in some quotes]] from real-life films.
215* MeaningfulName: Mazuma means "cash" or "money" in Yiddish. Given his fondness for western movies, the name alludes to ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars''.
216* PlayingWithFire: His boss fight features liberal use of flame.
217* SwissArmyWeapon: The tip of his sword can open to reveal a cannon muzzle capable of firing beams.
218

227
228Ranked third. A calm and methodical woman whose advanced grasp of human emotions gives her greater empathy than the other Apostles. She is the only one capable of understanding the words spoken by her twin, CKRY.
229----
230[[AC:General Tropes]]
231* AffablyEvil: She's got the same objective as every other boss, but because humans don't use the "neblading" that the aliens do, she gives B★RS the time to comfort the dying members of the PSS.
232* EnemyMine: She tries to propose this to B★RS as she feels there could be a better way of getting information. Unfortunately, one of XNFE's drones attack.
233* MeaningfulName: Shizu means "silent" in Japanese, and she is shown as one of the calm and logical Apostles.
234* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She shows a more thoughtful side than the rest of the Apostles.
235* TranslatorBuddy: SZZU is the only one who can understand CKRY's grunts.
236
237[[AC:Manga Tropes]]
238* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the manga. Along with XNFE, the two siblings decide to turn against W★RS by siding with the PSS. SZZU and CKRY joined the soldiers and Stella in their arctic base for two months and even helped the latter in her training. They are last seen fatally wounded after protecting PSS from White★Rock Shooter's attack.
239* ClassRepresentative: The special chapter "Black★Rock School" of the manga adaptation depicts SZZU as one in a classroom of the game's characters.
240* FlippingTheTable: At one point, SZZU tells the objective truth that Stella's combat abilities are still lacking, as a result of sleeping in a statis pod for years and a lack of training. Stella doesn't buy this and jumps on the table in front of SZZU, asking for a challenge. SZZU's response? Flip the damn table with her foot, sending Stella head-planted on the floor.
241* WhamLine: When SZZU monologues about their plan of starting a coup d'etat against White Rock Shooter.
242--> We weren't born to die. That's why... We'll kill her excellency.
243* YaoiFangirl: Only in the "Black Rock School" chapter of the manga, where MZMA reveals her love for erotic boys love books.

250[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brs_game_ckry.png]]
251
252Ranked fourth. A muscular berserker. His obsession with "neblading" animals has transformed him into an sub-human brute who communicates in growls.
253----
254[[AC:General Tropes]]
255%%* TheBerserker: Seems to be this.
256%%* TheBigGuy: Towers over Stella, while most of the other Apostles being OneHeadTaller at most. - Doesn't explain why he's the "tough" one
257%%* TheBrute: All that he says are grunts and roars. Which SZZU ''somehow'' can understand. - Needs to be reworked
258* ImAHumanitarian: Well, he's not human and neither are his meals, but the aftermath of MZMA's fight seems to imply CKRY '''ate''' him.
259* LightningBruiser: CKRY is fast and agile, despite his large, bulky build.
260* MeaningfulName: Karii means "Hunting" in Japanese, and CKRY is easily associated with several neblading acts. In SZZU's character episode, CKRY reveals that he primarily nebladed animals, including all horses on Earth.
261* TheUnintelligible: CKRY only "speaks" in grunts and roars.
262
263[[AC:Manga Tropes]]
264* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the manga. Along with XNFE, the two siblings decide to turn against W★RS by siding with the PSS. SZZU and CKRY joined the soldiers and Stella in their arctic base for two months and even helped the latter in her training. They are last seen fatally wounded after protecting PSS from White★Rock Shooter's attack.
265* DisabledInTheAdaptation: In the manga, the spiked ornament wrapped around his mouth is moved to wrap around his eyes, implying that he is blind. SZZU confirms his disability later.
266* LittleSisterHeroine: The manga adds a sister complex to his relationship with SZZU, but the latter doesn't hold him against it.

274
275Ranked fifth. A cute young girl who embodies the most selfish and dangerous desires of a child. Having gorged herself on mass-media, she has developed a love of game shows and reality television. Her ultimate ambition is to usurp White★Rock Shooter as the leader of the alien forces.
276----
277[[AC:General Tropes]]
278* ActionBomb: With the Suicide Order skill, XNFE can command her drones to charge at Stella and detonate upon contact.
279%%* AnimalMotifs: Rabbits.
280* AttackDrone: Has rabbit eared ones that have a few ways of attacking; she also rides on one of them.
281* BreakTheHaughty: She actually tears and cowers when Stella attempts to land the killing blow on her head, but actually spares XNFE's life afterwards.
282* TheCameo: She appears as a boss in an event of ''Petite★Rock Shooter'' and rewards parts of her costume after being defeated.
283%%* ChildrenAreCruel: Her character in a nutshell as she's quick to do mean things. - Needs to be reworked
284%%* CombatStilettos: She wears high-heeled shoes with crossed straps. - Doesn't explain the "combat" part

287* FlunkyBoss: She is accompanied by her Mini Rabbits in combat, and some of her skills involve manipulating her drones.

290%%* PowerFist: A pair of giant mechanical hands.
291* TheStarscream: XNFE wants to usurp W★RS and become the leader of the aliens.
292* SmugSnake: In simpler terms, she is haughty. XNFE doesn't like anyone cuter or stronger than her, and she doesn't like being criticized, whether from friend or foe.
293%%* {{Stripperific}}: She doesn't even get the benefit of wearing a bra like B★RS does - she gets this weird cross thing. - Needs to be reworked
294* WolverineClaws: Her mechanical hands have three-pronged claws.
295%%* YouHaveFailedMe: Her ultimate fate after being spared by B★RS.
296
297[[AC:Manga Tropes]]
298* AdaptationalNiceGuy: XNFE's general personality does not change very much from the game; she is still childlike and haughty. But she displays a friendlier attitude towards Stella in the manga adaptation, compared to despising her in the game. When Stella decides to spare her life, XNFE returns the favor by commanding her drones to destroy the debris that were about to fall on Stella and Nana. And before the two leave, XNFE drops this line, hinting a genuine change in her personality:
299--> "Stella... if, some day, we happen to meet again in another life... when that time comes... let's be friends..."
300* InfraredXrayCamera: She can activate a Thermal Vision mode which also gives her BlackEyesOfCrazy.
301* ManBehindTheMan: She is the one who gave the orders to SZZU and CKRY's coup d'etat against their leader. XNFE also commanded them to kill MZMA before he snipes Stella.
302* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Just before she wished to be friends with Stella, XNFE gets crushed by the falling boulders she held back to save Stella and Nana.

310
311Ranked sixth. A brash young man who loves to hone his skills in combat. He has unrequited feelings for MEFE which pain him greatly. He "neblades" MEFE after her defeat, absorbing her body and memories, possibly against her will.
312----
313[[AC:General Tropes]]
314* AvengingTheVillain: Having nebladed MEFE, he goes after B★RS to kill her in retaliation.
315* {{Determinator}}: He has a strong sense of pride, and will devote himself entirely to any prospect.
316* JackOfAllStats: Seems to do both close combat and long range.
317* SuicideAttack: LLWO vows that no one should neblade him, and thus blows himself in a self-destruct explosion after Stella defeated him. It would have [[TakingYouWithMe killed Stella too]] if she didn't block in time.
318
319[[AC:Manga Tropes]]
320* AdaptationalIntelligence: Compared to his rage-induced revenge quest in the game, LLWO is more mature, sensible and less trigger-happy in the manga. He even drops the act of revenge when Stella refuses to fight him back.
321* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Is quick to ally with Stella and Nana after seeing the Grateful Sun Ray being activated, and he also helps the former in returning to the alien base to stop the weapon.
322* PrecisionFStrike: He calls Stella a "Black Bitch" at the end of Chapter 8.

328
329[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brs_game_saha_art.jpg]]
330Ranked seventh. The leader of the Apostles, he resembles an old man and the master of a martial art the aliens call "Universal Karate". His role is to "train" any possible Whites to their maximum potential before handing them over to W★RS.
331----
332[[AC:General Tropes]]
333* BigBad: The game sets him up as the leader of the Apostles and the AlienInvasion that has nearly wiped out humanity. Subverted as he works under W★RS.
334* BlockingStopsAllDamage, All your attacks would deal 0 damage to SAHA if he enters a defensive stance with his giant fists.
335* DeadlyGaze: As demonstrated after Stage 1 when SZZU unintentionally questions "the General". SAHA looks at her in response. The act produces a ringing sound and causes SZZU to physically wince in pain.
336* DiscOneFinalBoss: He is set up as the leader of the AlienInvasion, but he is actually TheDragon to W★RS.
337* TheDragon: SAHA is the final obstacle before Stella gets to face the one behind it all, W★RS.
338* HumongousMecha: It's not clear if his machine is meant to be this or MiniMecha but it's definitely enough that he outsizes B★RS.
339* KamehameHadoken: With his Planet Buster skill, SAHA can generate a large blue energy orb using his mechanized fists.
340* MacrossMissileMassacre: SAHA's Machine Sky Fist skill where he fires a lot of missiles in the air landing randomly at Stella's position.
341* OldMaster: A very old Apostle made strong by his mastery of "Universal Karate".
342* WalkingShirtlessScene: SAHA's appearance is that of an old man wearing nothing but long jet-black pants. However, there are also thorn-like chains across his topless chest.
343
344[[AC:Manga Tropes]]
345* SparedByTheAdaptation: Unlike the game, Stella does not directly fight SAHA in the manga. He simply remains inside the alien mothership for the majority of the plot and is last seen carrying W★RS through a portal as the moon palace crumbles.

355[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Sing Love]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brs_game_sing_love.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
356
357A mysterious young woman who appears as an "inverted" version of B★RS, trading black for white and blue eyes for red. She is an alien being who became known as "Sing Love" on Earth. She engineered "The Game" so that she could consume/assimilate a perfect clone of herself. To do this, she staged the alien invasion and then convinced the Earth forces to use her as the base for a clone army to fight against them. However, the resulting clone army lacked the ability to retain their memories over time, delaying her plan until "B★RS" (who ''could'' retain memories) appeared.
358----
359[[AC:General Tropes]]
360* AffectionateNickname: Nana calls her "Mama".
361* AscendedExtra: Before the RPG came out, White★Rock Shooter was just a "[[PaletteSwap negative]]" version of B★RS that appeared in artwork. In the RPG, she's TheWomanBehindTheMan to SAHA.
362* BigBad: She is the real leader of the AlienInvasion, as [[DiscOneFinalBoss SAHA, the Apostle leader]], is her [[TheDragon front-man]].
363* EarlyBirdCameo: W★RS appears after the tutorial against the Dead Master Armament, before the screen fades to black. She is also superimposed with B★RS from a billboard screen during the song intro.
364%%* EvilCounterpart: As the General commanding the Earth-wrecking Apostles, contrasting Stella's initial servitude to the UEF. - Needs better explanation
365%%* ExpendableClone: How she treats her own clones. Well, most of them anyway, or the "Grays" as she shows praise over the perfect "White". - Needs better explanation
366* FaceFramedInShadow: As seen in her posters as Sing Love, half of her face is nothing but a black shadow. Interestingly, the shadow only covers the face and none of her hair is darkened along with it.
367%%* {{Foil}}: If the opposing PaletteSwap, physical appearance and names do not make it obvious yet, she is this to Stella. While our protagonist desires to be with her newly-found comrades, W★RS has no qualms about neblading her clones. And while Stella has her flaming eye on the left side, W★RS has hers on the right. - Needs to be reworked
368* TheGhost: Her true identity is only revealed very late into the game. Prior to this, she has been indirectly referred to as the "General" by the seven Apostles, and the camera would also occasionally focus on the Sing Love posters during cutscenes, hinting her other persona.
369* GoodWingsEvilWings: Mechanical white wings that look unpleasantly like scythes qualify for 'evil'.
370* GracefulLoser: After being defeated, W★RS simply retreats to her tea table, without negatively reacting to her defeat.
371* HiddenAgendaVillain: She volunteered to be the subject of Professor Gibson's cloning experiments for her selfish goal of potentially [[CloningGambit neblading her clones]] in order to become stronger.
372* IdolSinger: Her previous profession as Sing Love. She became popular enough to even have billboards posted all over New York.
373* ItsAllAboutMe: This is her biggest trait, as the "Game" she's engineered only has her interests in mind while using everyone else. And her goal of consuming a perfect clone of herself is undeniably narcissistic.
374* LightIsNotGood: A woman in white responsible for wiping out humanity.
375* LivingADoubleLife: An IdolSinger known as Sing Love, with Professor Gibson being the only human who knows that she's an alien. And as an alien, she is also the General of the Apostles.
376* LukeIAmYourFather: She is really "Sing-Love", the person Stella and Nana are clones of.
377* TheManBehindTheMan: She is the one being followed by the seven Apostles.
378* MirrorBoss: Surprisingly [[AvertedTrope averted]]; despite the PaletteSwap appearance and name, she fights too differently to qualify for this trope. That doesn't stop it from being [[InvokedTrope invoked]] in her dialogue preceding the fight and the pre-battle screen for her second phase, and her finisher has her crossing swords and trading gunfire with identical copies of Stella's blade and cannon.
379-->''Like opposing mirrors... This is precisely the game I chose to play.''
380* NamedWeapons: The "White Scythe" and the "White Blade".
381%%* OneWingedAngel
382* OrcusOnHisThrone: It is implied that she is always at her tea table in the Moon Palace during the events of the game. The manga subverts this as she steps down on Earth just to kill the PSS, SZZU and CKRY in the Antarctic.
383* PaletteSwap: W★RS, the original from which both B★RS and Nana were born. She's essentially this to B★RS, with a white/pink motif instead of black/blue.
384* ThePowerOfTheSun: When using Grateful Sun Ray, W★RS transforms her wings and cannon into a giant turret, while a large energy ball resembling the sun forms and is thrown at the player. While the energy ball can be shot, it would then split into smaller orbs.
385* SequentialBoss: Unlike the Apostles having two-layer health bars, her battle is actually two separate fights, and she fights differently in each.
386* SexyBacklessOutfit: She has a backless outfit, as seen in her concept art. It shows that her hooded jacket is trimmed to leave only the hood part, and without anything to cover her exposed back (aside from the strings of her bra).
387* SinisterScythe: A big white one. Her wings also have a scythe-like design at first.
388* VillainWithGoodPublicity: She is an alien who staged an invasion against Earth, and she started her plans way back when she was still known as the popular IdolSinger "Sing Love", which one covered up any suspicions.
389
390[[AC:Manga Tropes]]
391* AdaptationNameChange: Downplayed. Not directly White★Rock Shooter, but her in-game "Dead End" skill is renamed to "Minimum Meteor" in the manga adaptation of the game.
392* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange:
393** "Making World" is turned into an offensive attack skill rather than a self StatusBuff.
394** W★RS is also seen to possess one final skill that was not seen in the game, called "Sing Love". Appears to be a massive blast of energy in the form of sound waves, fired in the direction W★RS currently faces.
395* AstralCheckerboardDecor: Her cup of tea is even designed with this pattern.
396* BigDamnHeroes: In the manga adaptation, she rescues MEFE who was auctioned to and almost nebladed by a bunch of aliens. It is then at that moment where she recruited a new Apostle for her cause.
397* DeathGlare: Gives one to XNFE after LLWO's rampage, telling her not to do anything crazy like LLWO did.
398* DissonantSerenity: She hums her song as Sing Love while killing the PSS, SZZU and CKRY one-by-one.
399* FreudianSlip: In the manga, Professor Gibson invited Sing Love to meet her new clones, while describing that "they look cute". However, when Sing Love meets them, she says "they look delicious" by instinct instead. This reveals her true alien nature to the professor, who responds by sending her out of the facility, fearing that she may harm her clones.
400* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Gives this to Stella just ''before'' their actual fight started, and it comes out fast.
401* NoSell: She is able to survive the nuclear explosion armed by the professor.
402* OffingTheOffspring: As revealed in the manga adaptation of the game, W★RS has killed all but two of her clones.
403* ThePowerOfHate: Mentions that this is what fuels her, and is also something inherited by her clones.

410
411The man responsible for the cloning projects performed on the Grays. He is the father figure of Nana and Stella.
412----
413* PosthumousCharacter: He was killed by some desperate human survivors on December 2040, and is only shown and mentioned in flashbacks.
414* TheProfessor: He is the creator of both Gray and B★RS, and the game outright refers to him as such.
415* TakingYouWithMe: Attempts to do this with Sing Love using a nuclear grenade so that she would not harm her clones. But as the latter is basically a powerful alien, she [[NoSell survives the explosion]].
416* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His act of denying Sing Love by shooting her and attempting to blow themselves with a nuke is the final straw that causes the alien to initiate the command of starting the eradication of mankind.
