| 10 | !Debuting in ''Arcana Heart'' |
| 11 | [[folder:Heart Aino]] |
| 12 | !!Heart Aino |
| 13 | !!!'''Default Arcana:''' [[ThePowerOfLove Partinias]] |
| 14 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MikakoTakahashi (Japanese), Creator/KiraBuckland (''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle'') (English) |
| 15 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ah2_heart.png]] |
| 16 | The protagonist of the series, Heart is a complete ditz and a loyal worshiper of ThePowerOfLove. Her purpose is to be there to help her friends when they're down. In the process, however, she makes herself fair game to people who seem to desire her power (or her pureness) for something. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | As a character, Heart is a fairly balanced character. Her character based specials are focus on close range rushdown strikes, while her default Arcana, Partinias, gives her decent projectile options and the ability to respond well to projectile attacks from opponents. |
| 19 | ---- |
| 20 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: During a crossover, she went on a date with [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Ragna The Bloodedge]]. |
| 21 | * AllLovingHeroine: She's sweet, cheerful, and selfless. The only thing she wants to do is to help others and be there for her friends. She simply loves everyone and is a firm believer in ThePowerOfLove. |
| 22 | * AnimeHair: The odd shape(s) like the heart IdiotHair make it strange. |
| 23 | * BadassAdorable: Sweet, friendly, and able to kick ass. |
| 24 | * BuffySpeak: [[IdiotHero As befitting her personality]]: |
| 25 | --> (upon entering [[BigFancyHouse Mildred's castle]]) "Wow... this place is '''abnormous'''..." |
| 26 | --> (after listening to [[BigBad Mildred's]] MotiveRant) "If you won’t stop this, then I’m just going to have to '''puncherize''' you really hard!" |
| 27 | * CherryBlossomGirl: Since she's a pink-haired LoveFreak and canonically possesses the [[ThePowerOfLove Arcana of Love]], it's no surprise that cherry blossoms are associated with her. If you use Arcana Force in her stage, the background graphics will be replaced with one that's absolutely filled with cherry blossoms. |
| 28 | * ChildhoodFriends: Saki has been her best friend since childhood. |
| 29 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She is usually oblivious about the severity of the situations that she finds herself in. |
| 30 | * CrossOver: |
| 31 | ** In an official April Fools' Flash Game by Arc Systems Works and Examu, Heart is on a date with Ragna The Bloodedge. She also makes a guest appearance in ''Radio/BlazBlueRadio'', complete with chibi ''[=BlazBlue=]''-style sprite. Come ''3'', she also starts learning moves seemingly ripped straight off Ragna. It pretty much helps that [[Creator/MikakoTakahashi her]] and [[Creator/TomokazuSugita Ragna's]] voice actors had a history of voicing roles together. |
| 32 | ** Heart is a playable fighter in ''VideoGame/NitroplusBlasterzHeroinesInfiniteDuel''. |
| 33 | ** She is a playable fighter in ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle'' as DownloadableContent. |
| 34 | * CutenessProximity: [[AllLovingHeroine As befitting her nature]]. Specifically, in the first game, she gets into a story match with [[HighlyVisibleNinja Konoha]], as she starts fawning over the "[[LittleBitBeastly cute widdle puppy]]" (to [[ButtMonkey Konoha]]'s [[OhCrap terror]]). |
| 35 | * {{Determinator}}: Once she makes up her mind on doing something, nothing seems to be able to stop her. |
| 36 | * TheDitz: As aforementioned, she is usually oblivious about how much danger that she is in. |
| 37 | * GenkiGirl: She won't allow anything to deter her. |
| 38 | * TheHeart: She is this for her friends. |
| 39 | * HeartBeatDown: Most of her moves have "love" and "heart" in the name. Partinias is also a Love-elemental Arcana. |
| 40 | * HeroProtagonist: She is the central character and heroine of the series. |
| 41 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Saki. |
| 42 | * IdiotHair: She has a heart-shaped cowlick that stands prominently atop her head and she's a complete ditz and a huge IdiotHero. |
| 43 | * IdiotHero: She's a loving and righteous heroine ready to save the day and fight for her friends. She's also a complete idiot. |
| 44 | * JackOfAllStats: She is one of the most balanced characters in the series. |
| 45 | * KindheartedSimpleton: As her name would imply, Heart is a very kind, loving, and righteous girl, but she's also as sharp as a bag of hammers. |
| 46 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: Among other things, she's the only reason Saki hasn't [[DespairEventHorizon went off the deep end]] after [[BreakTheCutie all that's happened to her]]. |
| 47 | * LoveFreak: Her win quotes all espouse the virtues of love over fighting. It’s all about love! |
| 48 | * MartialPacifist: She would prefer to make friends than to fight. |
| 49 | * MeaningfulName: Her name in Japanese order has a meaning akin to "heart of love". |
| 50 | * NiceGirl: She's kind, sweet, and helpful to everyone. |
| 51 | * TheNicknamer: She has nicknames for her four friends that make up the FiveManBand of the series: "Mao-Mao" for [[TheBigGirl Maori]], "Lili" for [[GirlyGirl Lilica]], "Yori-poo" for [[TheSmartGirl Yoriko]], and "Sa-Sa" for [[TheLancer Saki]]. The last one is ''[[EmbarrassingNickname not]]'' appreciated by Saki at all. |
| 52 | * PomPomGirl: Depicted as such in several pieces of artwork. |
| 53 | * ThePowerOfLove: Heart is pretty much the embodiment of this. Her default Arcana, Partinias also has Love as her element. |
| 54 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Saki and Weiß's blue. |
| 55 | * RoseHairedSweetie: She has pink hair and she's really sweet and romantic. |
| 56 | * {{Shoryuken}}: Heartful Punch. |
| 57 | * {{Shotoclone}}: An unusual variation in that she technically has no projectiles of her own, but relies on an Arcana for them. Most (but not all) Arcanas have projectiles, however, including her default one, so she still qualifies. |
| 58 | * ShoutOut: Some of her palettes make her resemble [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex Mikoto Misaka, Accelerator]], [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Yukiko Amagi]], [[Manga/SquidGirl Sanae Nagatsuki]], [[Literature/ToraDora Minori Kushieda]] and [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]]. |
| 59 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Saki's tomboy. |

| 62 | [[folder:Saki Tsuzura]] |
| 63 | !!Saki Tsuzura |
| 64 | !!!'''Default Arcana:''' [[ShockAndAwe Bhanri]] |
| 65 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Yumi Shimura |
| 66 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saki_tsuzura.png]] |
| 67 | Heart's aloof best friend, Saki went to England in order to study. While there, she befriended Fiona, whom she unfortunately lost during the separation of the Elemental World. In the process, her Arcana would wake in time to save her life, and ever since made a vow to protect her remaining friends, even if from afar. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | Saki is a charge-based fighter who uses a wide variety of kick attacks. Her default Arcana, Bhanri, allows her to get in range to attack by making it easier for attacks to Intersect. |
| 70 | ---- |
| 71 | * AloofAlly: She is this for Heart. |
| 72 | * BrokenBird: What happened to Fiona has really affected her. |
| 73 | * BrokenTears: At the end of her story in ''3'', she broke down in tears upon realizing that all her efforts to gain the sacred stones to turn Fiona back to human was a complete failure, and the rumors behind it could be lies. Thank God there's Heart to cheer her up. |
| 74 | * CannotSpitItOut: She definitely has feelings for Heart as lampshaded by Pistrix, but clearly Heart doesn't know about it. And [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold knowing Saki's personality]], she probably won't. |
| 75 | * ChargedAttack: Almost every one of her specials, save for her supers and three specials - Fragrach, [[UnnecessaryCombatRoll Luath]] and the latter's followup. |
| 76 | * ChargeInputSpecial: She has four different charge moves. Besides the standard hold back or hold down, she also has moves that require charging ''up'' and charging ''forward'' to do. Thankfully, the charging time in ''Arcana Heart'' is a bit faster than other games, so it doesn't take too long to get the move you need. |
| 77 | * ChildhoodFriends: She has been best friends with Heart since childhood. |
| 78 | * ClothingDamage: If she's defeated by a super move, her tights get ripped in a few places. |
| 79 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Prior the events of the original ''Arcana Heart'', Saki's father had to relocate to Great Britain for work, and she attended school there. One day, Saki and her friend Fiona visited a mysterious mountainside and were sucked into the Elemental world. Saki was rescued by the Arcana Bhanri, but Fiona was trapped in the other dimension. Saki has felt guilty ever since. |
| 80 | %% * DeadpanSnarker |
| 81 | * {{Expy}}: She really looks like ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'''s Chikane Himemiya with lighter tint of hair and the same protective instinct. |
| 82 | * ExtremityExtremist: Prefers to fight with her feet. |
| 83 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Heart. |
| 84 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's quite cold, but she truly does care for her friends. |
| 85 | * KickChick: She mainly uses her feet to fight, and her fighting style is explained as being a modified version of Tae Kwon Do. |
| 86 | * TheLancer: Of Heart's FiveManBand, along with Maori, Yoriko, and Lilica. |
| 87 | * MovesetClone: Or more like [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Ragna and Jin]] would be more appropriate -- Saki is the Jin to Heart's Ragna. |
| 88 | * MyGreatestFailure: She feels guilty of the loss of Fiona into the spirit world. |
| 89 | * ProperTightsWithASkirt: She wears black tights with her main outfit, making her look very refined. |
| 90 | * RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Heart's red. |
| 91 | * ShockAndAwe: Saki has access to electrical powers when using her default Arcana, Bhanri. |
| 92 | * ShoutOut: Some of her palettes resemble [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Akiha Tohno]], [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura Akemi]], [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Millia Rage or Ky Kiske]] and [[Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden Chikane Himemiya]]. |
| 93 | * TheStoic: Usually. She is NotSoStoic more often than not when she is around Heart or when she's thinking about Fiona. |
| 94 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: She's aloof and usually gives the cold shoulder, but she's very prone to showing a warm and caring side when she's around Heart. |
| 95 | * TertiarySexualCharacteristics: She wears a yellow headband. |
| 96 | * ThemeNaming: Most of her attacks are named after legendary western weapons like "Brionac", "Claimh Solais", etc. |
| 97 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Heart's girly girl. |
| 98 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She is afraid of heights. |

| 101 | [[folder:Kamui Tokinomiya]] |
| 102 | !!Kamui Tokinomiya |
| 103 | !!!'''Default Arcana:''' [[TimeMaster Anutpada]] |
| 104 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiromiHirata |
| 105 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kamui_tokinomiya.png]] |
| 106 | The "Millennium Guardian" who has awakened due to the crises involving the elemental world. She investigates this matter with the help of the ninja girl Konoha by posing as Heart and Saki's sempai, only with ponytail and still carrying her katana Tamayorihime... [[PaperThinDisguise as if that's not going to attract the gaze of many an inquisitive eye]]. |
| 107 | ---- |
| 108 | * ActionGirl: She is a very capable fighter. |
| 109 | %% * AloofDarkHairedGirl |
| 110 | * BruiserWithASoftCenter: A centuries old warrior awakened in crisis, and aside from having a soft spot for her cute friends, also loves penguins. |
| 111 | * CastFromHitPoints: She can sacrifice sliver of her health in order to gain a boost in offense and to power-up her next special attack. |
| 112 | * CounterAttack: Has some attacks like this. One of them inflicts around 90% damage. |
| 113 | * {{Expy}}: Her appearance and weapon of choice remind of ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'''s Shigure Kosaka. |
| 114 | * FamedInStory: Her identity isn't public knowledge but Mildred is aware of who she is, and she has two entire clans whose members grow up in hopes of being her sidekick. |
| 115 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: She has slept at least few decades before the present day, so there are quite a few things about the modern world that she has yet to understand. |
| 116 | * HopelessWithTech: Being that she has slept at least few decades before the present day, she hasn't figured out how to really use modern day technology. |
| 117 | * ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Physically she is stuck at being around 16 years old. Her actual age is obviously several centuries more. |
| 118 | * ImprobableAge: She became the Millennial Guardian at the age of ''ten''. |
| 119 | * LightningBruiser: Her attacks are fast and does a lot of damage. |
| 120 | * MeaningfulName: Her last name, Tokinomiya, is roughly "temple of time" in Japanese, fitting her TimeMaster powers perfectly. |
| 121 | * MementoMacGuffin: A round jewel she wears on a sidetail. It used to belong to her little sister [[spoiler:and is implied to be made out of a rainbow-colored Celestial Stone]]. |
| 122 | * NoodleIncident: Since she's ReallySevenHundredYearsOld ([[OlderThanTheyLook possibly even older]]), Kamui drops more than a few lines about some other crises she's been woken up for. For example, in the first game, she tells Mildred that she wasn't the first to try merging the human and Elemental worlds, and later starts talking about some other enemies she faced to Konoha in her epilogue: apparently, she crossed blades with an organization called "[[ChurchMilitant The Divine Army]]", and ''[[ThoseWackyNazis The Third Reich]]''. |
| 123 | * OnlySaneWoman: Acts one of the more mature characters, though she has some moments she shows [[NotSoAboveItAll she's not above the wackiness of the rest of the cast.]] |
| 124 | * PaperThinDisguise: No, Kamui, tying your hair back won't hide your identity, especially if you're carrying a katana. |
| 125 | %%* ProperTightsWithASkirt |
| 126 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: It isn't made clear when exactly Kamui was born, but she has been acting as the Millennium Guardian for a very long time. |
| 127 | * RipVanWinkle: Her Arcana keeps her in a state of eternal slumber, awaking whenever there is a crisis facing the human world. |
| 128 | * {{Samurai}}: She has this type of behavior and mindset. |
| 129 | * SamuraiPonytail: She wears her hair in a ponytail bound up almost at the top of her head, to go with her {{samurai}}-like behavior. |
| 130 | * ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler:One of "CARD of GLORY" plotlines has her discussing how she wishes to defy her fate to be put back to sleep after her duties are done for the time being.]] |
| 131 | * ShoutOut: |
| 132 | ** Some of her alternate colors evoke [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex Kaori Kanzaki]], [[Manga/GaRei Yomi Isayama]], [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Hakumen]], [[Franchise/SailorMoon Makoto "Sailor Jupiter" Kino]] and [[Literature/ShakuganNoShana Shana]]. |
| 133 | ** One of her moves looks quite similar to [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Johnny's]] Mist Finer. |
| 134 | * StraightManAndWiseGuy: The straight man to Konoha's wise guy. Kamui is a mature serious warrior. Konoha is an immature ButtMonkey. |
| 135 | * SwordBeam: Fires these off in one of her specials. |
| 136 | * TimeMaster: She has the Arcana of Time as her default, letting her [[TimeStandsStill freeze opponents in time]], move at SuperSpeed, and use time-delayed copies of herself to [[DoppelgangerSpin evade]] and [[DoppelgangerAttack add to attacks]]. As a side effect of her Arcana, she's ReallySevenHundredYearsOld. |

| 139 | [[folder:Konoha]] |
| 140 | !!Konoha |
| 141 | !!!'''Default Arcana:''' [[GreenThumb Moriomoto]] |
| 142 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Mayumi Yoshida |
| 143 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/konoha.png]] |
| 144 | A dog girl who comes from the legendary Koinumaru ninja clan. She is often very happy, going into battles happily and settling them in a well-intentioned manner. Her route is more joking, however, and it's largely all PlayedForLaughs. |
| 145 | |
| 146 | Konoha's small frame, quick movements, and arsenal of ninja tricks make her a hard target to pin down. Posessing a hard-to-predict teleport utilizing clones of herself, a midair parachute technique to keep her afloat, and the ability to hide underground, she can easily navigate the stage and trick opponents. The drawback to this mobility comes in the form of Konoha's fragility. Her default Arcana, Moriomoto, doesn't offer too much in the way of specials. Its two main specials either draw opponents in with ensnaring vines, or summon plant seeds that act as traps when stepped on by opponents. However, Moriomoto's main asset is its health-recovery capabilities, which can provide a way for Konoha to survive in drawn-out battles despite her weak defenses. |
| 147 | ---- |
| 148 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Given her single minded focus on Kamui, it's not hard to see some romantic attraction underneath it. |
| 149 | * ButtMonkey: Most of her appearances outside her story involve her being the butt of jokes. |
| 150 | * TheDitz: Konoha isn't very smart. When Mildred explained her plan, it all flew over her head. Even [[IdiotHero Heart]] wasn't that stupid. |
| 151 | * DoppelgangerAttack: One of her supers has her assaulting her opponent with dozens of clones of herself. Her Critical Heart also involves clones, but in much less quantity. |
| 152 | * FearOfThunder: She herself says that she's not good around thunder. |
| 153 | * FragileSpeedster: She is fast and a small target, but she can't take much damage. |
| 154 | * FurryReminder: She enjoys getting her stomach rubbed and scratches behind the ears, though only if it's from Kamui. |
| 155 | * GenkiGirl: She won't let anything stop her. |
| 156 | * GenreBlindness: Her first response to finding a Celestial Stone in the third game? Offer to trade one to Lilica in exchange for her roller skates. |
| 157 | * GreenThumb: Moriomoto has the power of Nature. |
| 158 | * HighlyVisibleNinja: She a ninja who is a dog girl. |
| 159 | * LetsGetDangerous: In ''3'', seeing Ragnarok threatening to destroy Japan actually causes her to get serious. |
| 160 | * LifeDrain: Using her default Arcana, Konoha is capable of stealing health from her opponent. |
| 161 | * LittleBitBeastly: She has dog ears and a tail. |
| 162 | * {{Ninja}}: She came from the Koinumara ninja clan. |
| 163 | * NinjaLog: Her counter has her utilize either a log or a doll of herself in various costumes to escape opponent's attack. |
| 164 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: Her long red scarf is large enough (and her small enough) to be used as an impromptu glider. |
| 165 | * SchoolSportUniform: She wears this under her various "ninja" accessories. |
| 166 | * ShoutOut: Two of her palettes make her resemble [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex Last Order]] and [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Bang Shishigami]]. |
| 167 | * SpinningPiledriver: She wouldn't be a ninja without an Izuna Drop move, would she? |
| 168 | * StockNinjaWeaponry: Shurikens, kunais, smoke bombs and blowpipes, though she mainly uses the pipe as a snorkel when burrowing underground. |
| 169 | * ThirdPersonPerson: She refers to herself in the third person, though her age and overall attitude makes it come off as really childish. |
| 170 | * UndyingLoyalty: She is deeply devoted to be on Kamui's side all the time and serve her in best of her abilities. |

| 173 | [[folder:Maori Kasuga]] |
| 174 | !!Maori Kasuga |
| 175 | !!!'''Default Arcana:''' [[DishingOutDirt Ohtsuchi]] |
| 176 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Maki Tsuchiya |
| 177 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maori_ah.png]] |
| 178 | Second-born of four sisters specializing in exorcisms, called upon by the Japanese Ministry of Elemental Affairs to investigate Mildred's EvilPlan. |
| 179 | |
| 180 | Maori is assisted in battle by her sisters, Tsuzune, Koito, and Kouta, who provide the bulk of her specials. While Maori can use her top and strings to launch opponents and change their position, her sisters provide her with large amounts of zoning capabilities that form much of her offensive strategies, whether it be Tsuzune providing physical strikes while Maori retreats, or Koito and Kouta's ability to provide an alternate point from which to launch Arcana specials. This latter ability is especially handy for her default Arcana, Ohtsuchi, as its attacks tend to be close-range in nature. Ohtsuchi can also provides super armor to homing dashes and E button neutrals, providing Maori defense if her opponent gets too close. In Extend Force Ohtsuchi will give Maori permanent super armor while active, at the cost of removing her ability to block. |
| 181 | ---- |
| 182 | |
| 183 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Ohtsuchi is ''massive'', so much so that only its head and arm are shown when it uses its Arcana Blaze. |
| 184 | * TheBigGirl: Of Heart's FiveManBand, alongside Saki, Yoriko and Lilica. Her older sister, Tsuzune, also counts among her SiblingTeam, being the most physically oriented of them. |
| 185 | * ChasteHeroine: She's one of the few girls without relationships with other girls bordering on a HomoeroticSubtext, although Clarice, in her fits of jealousy, seems to think something's going on with her and Elsa. |
| 186 | * DishingOutDirt: Her default Arcana, Ohtsuchi is the Arcana of Earth. |
| 187 | * HimeCut: She has the traditional hairstyle befitting of a {{Miko}} and a YamatoNadeshiko. |
| 188 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: She fights using ''[[BattleTops spintops]]''. |
| 189 | * MaleGaze: Just ''look'' at her breasts. They're one of the biggest points of discussion by Mei Ling, Mei-Fang's creator, much to Maori's chagrin. |
| 190 | * {{Miko}}: She is a shrine maiden. |
| 191 | * ShoutOut: Some palette swaps make her resemble [[Anime/CodeGeass C.C.]], [[Manga/ShrineOfTheMorningMist Yuzu Hieda]], [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hanyuu Furude]], [[Franchise/TouhouProject (PC-98) Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi Mana Tatsumiya]] (also another miko, at least outside her mercenary career). |
| 192 | * SiblingTeam: She fights alongside Koito and Kouta, her younger twin sisters, and Tsuzune, her older sister. |
| 193 | * UnknownRival: Maori doesn't really have any idea on how Clarice sees her as a romantic rival for Elsa's affection. |
| 194 | * YamatoNadeshiko: Her page image says it all but there's more. She tries to maintain the generations-old traditions of the Kasuga shrine. |

| 198 | !!Mei-Fang |
| 199 | !!!'''Default Arcana:''' [[PlayingWithFire Lang-Gong]] |
| 200 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JuriTakita |
| 201 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mei_fang.png]] |
| 202 | A RobotGirl in search of her master who was captured by Mildred. She is apparently friends with Kira, however insufferable she may be, and they often work together. |
| 203 | ---- |
| 204 | * TheAce: She's said to excel in all school subjects. |
| 205 | * AnimeChineseGirl: She's a Chinese RobotGirl designed for combat, uses kung fu, and the name of her moves are taken from TheFourGods. She also sports odango hair, has a big bust, and wears a UsefulNotes/{{Qipao}} during one of her win poses. |
| 206 | * BareFistedMonk: Of the "robot girl" variety. Many of her moves are a series of punches and kicks. |
| 207 | * ChefOfIron: Almost literal example. Her backstory says she has thousands of years worth of Chinese recipes programed into her, on top being a robot who can kick your ass. |
| 208 | * TheComicallySerious: She's TheStoic with a creator who is a total oddball. She obeys all of Mei-Ling's bizarre orders with a completely straight face, not understanding how odd they are. |
| 209 | * CurbStompBattle: In her side story, she dishes out one to Kira when she tries to walk away from Mei-Ling's field trip. |
| 210 | * TheFourGods: Some of her special moves are based on them. |
| 211 | * GeniusBruiser: She's stated to be very intelligent in school, and is the most physically focused character in the game. |
| 212 | * HumansAreMorons: One of her lines implies that she might think this: |
| 213 | -->"Why must we settle this with our fists? You humans perplex me." |
| 214 | * InformedAttribute: Mei-Fang supposedly has knowledge of every known Chinese martial arts. However, her "Xinyiliuhequan" fighting style heavily draws inspiration from bajiquan while not meshing other martial arts together with it. |
| 215 | * InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha: One of her super moves involves her transforming into a giant mech. |
| 216 | * JigglePhysics: Her fighting stance and one her win poses contains this. |
| 217 | * LeotardOfPower: Wears one with the top part of a Chinese dress jacket worn over it. "Top part", as in just the collar and sleeves, to better display her assets. |
| 218 | * LightningBruiser: She has some decent speed and has powerful combos at her disposal. She's very strictly a close-range fighter though. |
| 219 | * MagiTek: She is a robot whose construction involved using magic. |
| 220 | * MsFanservice: Has the biggest breasts of the cast, and wears a leotard that barely covers her backside. |
| 221 | * PickYourHumanHalf: Of the "looks human, acts robotic" variety. Aside from the cables sticking out of her head, she can pass for a human, but she's rather unemotional. |
| 222 | * PlayingWithFire: Outside of her Arcana, she has {{Elemental Punch}}es what set her fists on fire. |
| 223 | * RobotGirl: She's an android and is among the most fanservice-oriented characters in the series. |
| 224 | * ShoutOut: Some palette swaps make her resemble [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Noel Vermilion, Litche Faye-Ling (also a buxom Chinese fighter)]], [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]] and [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Hsien-Ko]]. |
| 225 | * StatuesqueStunner: At 171 cm. |
| 226 | * TheStoic: She is a robot, after all, much to the disappointment of Mei Ling since she did encode most of her own personality into her. |
| 227 | * StraightManAndWiseGuy: The StraightMan to Mei-Ling's Wise Guy. |

| 239 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lilica_felchenerow.png]] |
| 240 | The half-demon child of one of Europe's most influential demon lords, and a friend and classmate of Yoriko. She usually goes about searching for fun, and shrugs off work. She was apparently offered some kind of "deal" from [[BigBad Mildred]], which she (obviously) rejects. In the third game, she takes a job closing the planar rifts opened by Scharlachrot from the Celestial Union, but she's mostly just using that as an excuse to gather the Celestial Stones and impress Yoriko. |
| 241 | |
| 242 | A highly mobile character, Lilica specializes in speed. She's capable of wall jumping, posseses a good amount of midair attacks, and can follow up many of her specials with unique follow up attacks. Her mobility options are only boosted by her default arcana Tempestas, which grants Lilica a triple jump, a second air dash, and a quick drop back to the ground. That said, she has a weak defensive game, making it important to stay on the move and avoid getting hit. |
| 243 | ---- |
| 244 | * AdultsAreUseless: Subverted in her ending for ''3'', where her demon dad helps the heroes find a way to turn Fiona back into a human. Granted, Lilica basically had to ''brow-beat'' her dad into helping, but it's still something. |
| 245 | * AndThisIsFor: In the third game, if you fight Yoriko before Lilica, she'll say, "This is for Yoriko! [[PrepareToDie Now prepare to die!]]" |
| 246 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: She has her zipper opened enough to show that and her upper stomach. |
| 247 | * BlowYouAway: Tempestas has the power of wind. |
| 248 | * BrattyHalfPint: Has shades of this as she prefers to have fun. |
| 249 | * ButNotTooForeign: Is half-Polish, though one of her nationalities is most likely a cover-up for her father's origin. |
| 250 | * DarkIsNotEvil: She's a half-demon, but seems to be a good (if mischievous) girl, though her hedonistic and narcissistic tendencies could also add traits from [[DarkIsEvil the other]]. |
| 251 | * DifficultButAwesome: She requires a very good mastery of all her moves in order to be played well, but in doing so, she becomes fairly difficult to hit or predict due to her mobility. |
| 252 | * FragileSpeedster: She's very fast and can zip around the stage a lot, but she goes down rather quickly if you catch her. |
| 253 | * TheGadfly: She has a penchant for pulling pranks on people. |
| 254 | * GenkiGirl: She's very energetic and free-spirited, fitting of her element. |
| 255 | * GirlishPigtails: She sports a pair. |
| 256 | * GirlyGirl: Of Heart's FiveManBand, alongside Saki, Maori, and Yoriko, though she's just as effective an ActionGirl as the others. |
| 257 | * TheHedonist: She would rather have fun than do any of her responsibilities. |
| 258 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Yoriko. |
| 259 | * HumanDemonHybrid: Half-human, half-demon. |
| 260 | * ICallItVera: She calls her rollerblades "Wilde". |
| 261 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's a self-centered, hedonistic, and borderline narcissist [[{{Troll}} who has a tendency to torment others for fun]], but she does care for Yoriko, and expresses regret over trying to gather the celestial stones to impress Yoriko when she learns Saki was going to use them to make Fiona a normal human again during her ending in ''3''. She even goes out of her way to pester her father to figure the secret out. |
| 262 | * LackOfEmpathy: She cares so much about herself that it comes at the expense of virtually everything else. |
| 263 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In the third game, should you lose, one of her quotes on the Continue screen has her saying this. |
| 264 | --> "Oh, come on now... You know losing a game just causes stress. How can that be fun...?" |
| 265 | * MsFanservice: She wears a {{Stripperiffic}} outfit consisting of a [[SleevesAreForWimps sleeveless jacket]] with [[NavelDeepNeckline her zipper down]], [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine a sports bra]], bike shorts, and one of her win poses has her [[TheCoatsAreOff whipping her jacket off]] and blowing a kiss. |
| 266 | * {{Narcissist}}: She pretty much cares only of herself to the point of being oblivious of anything that's not herself. |
| 267 | * PointyEars: She has them due to being half demon. |
| 268 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Yoriko's blue. |
| 269 | * RollerbladeGood: She wears rollerblades. |
| 270 | * ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She removes her jacket in one of her win poses. |

| 273 | * TokenEvilTeammate: She's easily the most amoral of Heart's FiveManBand. |

| 284 | A girl who lost her family (unknowingly, by her own hands), and whose older sister Elfriede's body was placed on a puppet she carries around. She was hired by Mildred to capture [[TheHeroine Heart]]. Afterwards, she's started working for the Japanese branch of the Celestial Union and has worked to help resolve other incidents. Meanwhile, she is pursuing Zenia, intrigued by how familiar she seems. |
| 285 | ---- |
| 286 | * AloofAlly: She becomes this later on in the series. |
| 287 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: She's a quiet girl, who is also an assassin. |
| 288 | * BlobMonster: Gier manifests as this. |
| 289 | * BrokenBird: After losing her family, Lieselotte was emotionally scarred and she became a cold-hearted assassin. |
| 290 | * CastingAShadow: Gier has the power of darkness. |
| 291 | * CreepyChild: She's unsettlingly emotionless and quiet, wanted criminal in another dimension, and carries around a legless puppet with her sister's spirit trapped inside. And she's only ten years old. Yeah, pretty creepy. |
| 292 | * DifficultButAwesome: One of the trickier characters to use, but gets deadly once well played. |
| 293 | * EasilyForgiven: Heart is surprisingly cool with the fact that Lieselotte tried to ''kidnap'' her in the first game, and in Lieselotte's story actually succeeds. Granted, this is [[AllLovingHeroine Heart]]. |
| 294 | * ElegantGothicLolita: She dresses in gothic lolita fashion. |
| 295 | * EmotionlessGirl: As she is an assassin. |
| 296 | * EnfanteTerrible: Don't underestimate her for being a 10-year-old girl; she's a cold-blooded assassin. |
| 297 | * EvilOrphan: She’s a cold-hearted assassin who was left orphaned after she unknowingly killed her family. |
| 298 | * GratuitousGerman: All of her move names are written with German nouns i.e. her command grab is named "Scarlet Eyed Ratsel", which translates to "Scarlet Eyed Puzzle". |
| 299 | * HeelFaceTurn: She's still the "creepy" member of the cast, but over time, she's mellowed out from cold-blooded assassin to AloofAlly. |
| 300 | * ImprobableAge: She's a ten-year-old assassin. |
| 301 | * KnightOfCerebus: Even post HeelFaceTurn, she's a far more serious character compared to the rest of the cast with very few comical moments. |
| 302 | * ParasolOfPain: She uses her umbrella as a Magic Wand to cast the spells of her Arcana. |
| 303 | * ParasolParachute: She enters matches by floating down with her parasol. |
| 304 | * PsychicPowers: Apparently, she has these, as Maori states astonishment over her apparent powers. Additionally, the ''LOVE MAX SIX STARS!!!!!'' website claims she controls her doll through telekinesis. |
| 305 | * PerversePuppet: The puppet she carries around assists her in fighting, and contains the spirit of her sister Elfriede. [[spoiler:Of course, considering the reveal that Zenia is Elfriede, that raises the question of what the deal actually is with the puppet.]] |
| 306 | * PuppetFighter: She can throw out a legless marionette out of the briefcase to intiate this type of gameplay. The doll normally moves by the directional inputs and attacks by button inputs, though Lieselotte can set up markers to make the doll do different actions on her own. The doll can only take three hits unless recalled, after which she becomes unable to move, requiring you to use a super to revive her. Her Arcana of Shadow, Gier, also behaves likes this. If you hold down the button as you are doing one of its special attacks, you can control Gier to make it move as a shadow around the field to go into a position to attack. |
| 307 | * TheQuietOne: She tends not to speak unless spoken to. |
| 308 | * RedBaron: "The [[RedEyesTakeWarning Crimson-Eyed]] Puppeteer". |

| 311 | * SelfMadeOrphan: She killed her own parents, but she doesn't know it. |
| 312 | * ShoutOut: Two of her palette swaps make her resemble [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Rachel Alucard]] and [[Manga/RozenMaiden Kanaria]]. |
| 313 | * SiblingTeam: Subverted, since her sister Elfriede is a doll, making her similar to [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Carl Clover]]. [[spoiler:In truth, Elfriede is very much alive but amnesiac as "Zenia Valov".]] |

| 326 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuiItsuki |
| 327 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yoriko_yasuzumi.png]] |
| 328 | A young occult fangirl who summoned her staff, A powerful self-proclaimed demon lord named Michelangelo (Usually just shortened to Mike), from a spell that went awry thanks to a prank from Lilica. Unfortunately, she cannot control him that well, and as a result, she often gets into fights due to his manners. |
| 329 | |
| 330 | Yoriko and Mike have a rather slow movement speed, using special attacks and the teleportation capabilities of her default Arcana, Dieu Mort to get around. This is compensated for with good ranged attacks, and specials that can be powered up with precise directional inputs. Dieu Mort also provides the ability to poison opponents, slowly chipping away at their health. |
| 331 | ---- |
| 332 | * AlliterativeName '''Y'''oriko '''Y'''asuzumi. |
| 333 | * AllWitchesHaveCats: Aside of being a staff, Mike can transform into a cat for convenience. |
| 334 | * BadassCape: She wears a long purple cape created by Mike. It even has arms which Mike can use. |
| 335 | * BespectacledCutie: She's a cute, smart, shy girl with glasses. |
| 336 | * ButtMonkey: Her entire fighting style has Yoriko being dragged around by Mike, much to her misfortune. |
| 337 | * CuteWitch: She's a cute girl who's into the occult. |
| 338 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Even though she is interested in occultism and her main Arcana is the Arcana of Evil, Yoriko is a really nice girl. And while Mike can be insufferable, if people acknowledge his true greatness, he isn't that bad of a guy. |
| 339 | * DogWalksYou: One of the biggest problems with Mike, [[{{Jerkass}} aside from just about everything]], is that he has a bad habit of literally dragging poor Yoriko around on what amounts to demonic joyrides. It's so bad that virtually every pre-fight quote made by Yoriko is screaming at her opponent to get out of the way, because she can't stop Mike's current rampage. |
| 340 | * EmpathicWeapon: Mike usually takes a form of a staff, which Yoriko has to carry around. |
| 341 | * HeroicSacrifice: |
| 342 | ** In the original game, Yoriko's bad ending has Mike staying behind in Mildred's castle to shield Yoriko and Lilica from the blast. |
| 343 | ** In the third game, he makes another one in Yoriko's bad ending where he attempts to shield her and Lilica from Ragnarok destroying Japan. |
| 344 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Lilica. |
| 345 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Not her, but Mike, the self-proclaimed "demon king" sealed in Yoriko's staff. He's abrasive, boastful, and often callous (he's the one responsible for Yoriko's pact with the Death Arcana, which terrifies her), but he's also intensely protective of Yoriko, and seems to cause her inconvenience only out of denseness. He's also a fairly benevolent ruler, who considers it his obligation to care for Clarice since her father is one of his retainers. |
| 346 | * TheOneGuy: Mike was essentially the only male character in the entire cast for first two games until the introduction of Kazu. |
| 347 | * RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Lilica's and Mike's red. |
| 348 | * ShoutOut: Three of her alternate colors make her look like [[Manga/{{Softenni}} Chitose Akiyama]], [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Lambda-11]] and [[VisualNovel/ToHeart Tomoko Hoshina]]. Another makes her resemble [[Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero Louise]]. |
| 349 | * ShrinkingViolet: Yoriko is very shy and awkward. This puts her at a huge contrast with Mike. |
| 350 | * TheSmartGirl: To Heart's FiveManBand, alongside Saki, Maori and Lilica. |
| 351 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Lilica's tomboy. |
| 352 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: French crullers are Mike's main source of nutrition (and motivation). |

After being forced to return to grade school despite her degree, Kira decided to begin plotting to TakeOverTheWorld to get revenge for her genius going unrecognized. She fights Mildred with her trusty blob for getting in the way with that. In the second game, she forms a rivalry and friendship with her former college classmate and fellow child prodigy Catherine. In the third game, she decides to get involved the planar rift incident plaguing Japan out of petty spite for Rosenberg after they didn't invite her to join their ranks. |
| 361 | |
| 362 | |
| 363 | Kira is the resident [[MightyGlacier grappler]] of the series. Her basic strategies revolve around getting into range, and grabbing opponents for high damage attacks. Her fairly long-range neutrals, and the defensive capabilites of her default arcana Niptra, make up for her slow speed. Niptra's special abilities include the ability protect Kira from chip damage, summoning bubbles to take hits for her, and allowing Kira to slow her opponent's down. |
| 364 | ---- |
| 365 | * AnimeHair: Apart from the fact that it's dark blue, it also looks like she has cat ears/horns. |
| 366 | * BigBadWannabe: She wants to TakeOverTheWorld. Nobody takes her seriously, with her efforts being thwarted by Mei Ling Hua without much effort. |
| 367 | * ButNotTooForeign: Is half-American. |
| 368 | * ButtMonkey: Despite having a [=PhD=], the majority of the cast don't really take her seriously, usually calling her an idiot. The few people who actually respect her are Catherine and Mei-Fang. On top of this, she often gets humiliated in her endings after stopping whatever threat was present in the game, with ''3'' being the only exception, but she gets humiliated in Catherine and Dorothy's endings instead. |
| 369 | * ChildProdigy: She is only 11 years old, but already has a [=PhD=]. In elemental science, and has since constructed her own sentient ball of slime that can do anything she wants it to. |
| 370 | * CripplingOverspecialization: She excels in science and related subjects. Anything else, [[GeniusDitz not so much]]. |
| 371 | * DevilishHairHorns: Parts of her are raised to make it look like she has devil horns to show her MadScientist status, though they also look like cat ears to show how "serious" of a character she is. |
| 372 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Why does she want to TakeOverTheWorld? It's because that [[ImprobableAge after earning her PhD at an American university]], ''[[DudeWheresMyRespect she was forced to go back to grade school after returning to Japan]]''. |
| 373 | * EnfanteTerrible: She's an 11-year-old that wants to take over the world. |
| 374 | * EveryoneHasStandards: She wants to rule the world, and is disgusted by the kind of destruction Mildred and Ragnarok would cause, [[spoiler: And even fights to save the world from her alternate subspace version of herself in her Memories story.]] |
| 375 | * EvilLaugh: She does this all the time. She even does one after her Critical Heart Break. She also has one during of her victory poses, though she has a chance of cramping up mid-laugh. |
| 376 | * FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Her attempts at world domination are all doomed to fail. Nothing she does puts her any closer than the day she started. |
| 377 | * FinalBoss: Serves as the last opponent in all Memories storylines related to the subspace plot. (Heart, Kamui, Catherine, Weiss, and [[MirrorBoss herself]]) |
| 378 | * HarmlessVillain: It doesn't matter what she does, even her own storylines treat her plans at world domination as futile. She isn't even able to pull off anything evil. |
| 379 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: Where her nice side is really hard to come by, Kira's interactions does show that she does value her friends to a certain degree [[spoiler: such as forming a genuine friendship with Weiss during her Memories storyline.]] |
| 380 | * ImprobableAge: Earned her [=PhD=] at the tender age of ''eleven''. |
| 381 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: She uses an articial blob of water in which she swims. |
| 382 | * InsufferableGenius: She certainly ''loves'' flaunting her knowledge to people. |
| 383 | * MadScientist: Despite her young age, having created the blob she uses to fight and also aided in building Mei-Fang. |
| 384 | * MakingASplash: Her default Arcana. |
| 385 | * MightyGlacier: And by extension, GlacierWaif. She's slow but her moves does a lot a damage. |
| 386 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: She's quite morally questionable, plans to take over the world, and is unusually young to have a doctorate. |
| 387 | * PragmaticVillainy: The reason why she ends up fighting the other villains is that they are trying to destroy the world she is trying to conquer. |
| 388 | * SchoolSwimsuit: Practically the only costume you ever see her wear in the series. Even when she's not fighting with her water blob, she is ''always'' wearing one. |
| 389 | * SmallNameBigEgo: She is a genius but she has a greatly inflated sense of importance. She is so self entitled that she wants to TakeOverTheWorld over being sent back to school. Catherine's ending in the third game demonstrates that outside of science and other related subjects, Kira's hilariously inept. |
| 390 | * TakeOverTheWorld: Her stated goal. |
| 391 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Milk is essentially her fuel. |
| 392 | * WalkingSwimsuitScene: Kind of justified since she's in a water blob. That said, she wears it ''everywhere'', even if she's not fighting, occasionally wearing a labcoat over it. |
| 393 | * WhatTheHellPlayer: She gets ''very'' upset with the player on the Continue screen should you lose with her: |
| 394 | --> ''"You do realize it's YOUR fault that I lost?! If you have even a sliver of decency left in your blackened little soul, you'll continue! So, what are you waiting for?!"'' |

| 403 | A British girl whom Saki befriend and was captured by Mildred in what was termed the "Mayfield Incident". Being stuck in the Elemental World, she's lost her human form and become an ethereal being, which has caused her quite a bit of distress. She serves her mistress loyally, largely thinking of her as a friend. In any other route in ''1'', she is the penultimate opponent. |
| 404 | |
| 405 | A MightyGlacier character, Fiona's attacks are very slow, and often require good timing, but deal massive amounts of damage. Her default Arcana, Oreichalkos, can be leveled up to increase the power of its attacks, and possesses a damage-tanking shield special, but cannot gain Arcana Gauge through attacks, instead requiring a specific input to charge the gauge. |
| 406 | ---- |
| 407 | * ApologeticAttacker: Her down-forward strong attack is accompanied by a heartfelt "I'm sorry!" as she smacks her opponent up into the air with her {{BFS}}: |
| 408 | -->"Excalibur! GOMENASAI!" |
| 409 | * AssKicksYou: If you charge her neutral E move, Fiona launches herself butt-first at the enemy. |
| 410 | * {{BFS}}: Wields a sword that's larger than she is. |
| 411 | * BlessedWithSuck: She has eternal youth after becoming an etheral, but it also means she can only stay in the human world for short periods. She opposes Mildred's plan to merge the Elemental World with the human one, feeling that nobody should be forced to live like she does. |
| 412 | * CassandraTruth: Saki doesn't initially believe her when Fiona says who she is since Fiona vanished years ago and she hasn't aged a day. |
| 413 | * CuteBruiser: She's a cute girl who also wields a massive sword. |
| 414 | * CuteClumsyGirl: She's quite clumsy. |
| 415 | * DifficultButAwesome: Her level 3 is a rekka that not only has two types of complicated inputs (in the first and last parts of the chain), but the last part of the chain requires strict timing. That said, it hits for 75% damage when done properly. |
| 416 | * TheDragon: To Mildred in the first game, serving as the penultimate opponent in each storyline besides her own. Though in Fiona's own story, she betrays Mildred after learning about her plan as Fiona feels forcing anybody to live like she does is a curse. |
| 417 | * ExtraOreDinary: Orichalcos has the power of metal. |
| 418 | * FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Her attempts at becoming human again fail each game. |
| 419 | * GirlishPigtails: She sports a pair. |
| 420 | * GlacierWaif: Would you believe that a short girl like her can wield such a huge sword? |
| 421 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: Her goal throughout the series is to become human again so she can return to the human world. |
| 422 | * {{Meido}}: She wears the classic maid outfit. |
| 423 | * NecessaryDrawback: Oreichalkos is statically the strongest Arcana with both offensive and defensive abilities that can level up by using the Epidosis super. This is why having it prevents you from increasing your Arcana Gauge by attacking, requiring you to use a 4E command to charge the gauge up. |
| 424 | * NinjaMaid: She can competently swing a zweihander as big as she is for the game's strongest (but slow) normals. |
| 425 | * OlderThanSheLooks: She stopped aging after she was pulled into the Elemental World, so while she's approximately as old as Saki, she still looks like a little girl. |
| 426 | * ProneToTears: Almost always ends up crying after losing. |
| 427 | * ShoutOut: Two of her palette swaps resemble [[Franchise/TouhouProject Alice Margatroid (as she appears in the PC-98 games)]] and [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear May]]. |
| 428 | * ThrowTheDogABone: In her ending in the third game, Angelia and Mildred reveal they can create a small rift to the human world. It won't allow Fiona to stay for more than a day, but it means she can at least spend some time home. |

She is fought at the end of any route, and, unsurprisingly, is the [[SNKBoss hardest character]] to beat in the whole game, given that she has many unblockable attacks. She eventually becomes the Arcana of Light for her older sister Angelia. |
| 436 | ---- |
| 437 | * AffablyEvil: Always polite when she meets the other girls. Her treatment of Fiona, however, seems more than just politeness. |

| 439 | * AngelicBeauty: In her Archangel form. Not that she wasn't attractive beforehand. |

| 442 | * BadassFingerSnap: Her main animation when attacking in the original game. She snaps her fingers, and a special attack from an Arcana gets used. |

| 444 | * BigBad: She's the main antagonist of the first game. |
| 445 | * BigLittleSister: You see Angelia down on the page? Yeah, that is her ''older sister''. This is justified as where [[spoiler:Angelia stopped aging and growing due of becoming ethereal, Mildred had chance to grow about seven years.]] |
| 446 | * TheComicallySerious: In Konoha's storyline, Mildred assumes Kamui sent Konoha to stop her plans. To her annoyance, Konoha knows nothing about Mildred's plans or that the Elemental Plane even exists. In response, Mildred explains she wants Konoha to leave and not meddle with her plans. |
| 447 | * DiscardAndDraw: Her first form has use a pair of [[AttackDrone orbs that do all the fighting]] while she is in a cocoon. After transforming into her Archangel form, she ditches the orbs and fights using a selection of attacks from the game's Arcana. When acting as an AssistCharacter to Angelia in the second game, her attacks are limited to kicking the player. When used a selectable Arcana in the third game, all of her attacks are [[LightEmUp light-based]]. |
| 448 | * DrunkOnTheDarkSide: More like drunk on the ''{{light|IsNotGood}}'' side, but after becoming an Archangel, she quickly loses all pretense of wanting anything but to destroy mankind: |
| 449 | --> [[EvilLaugh Ha-ha-ha-ha!]] I’ve never felt so alive! The world seems so vivid! I see now what it's like to evolve! All other life is inferior! You're dirt- no, LESS than dirt! No one can stop the worlds from merging now!! Soon, my plans will be complete. I’ll be the creator of a new world, and all will know my name!! |
| 450 | * EtTuBrute: In Fiona's bad ending in the original game, Mildred is geniunally hurt by Fiona's betrayal. |
| 451 | * ExBigBad: After the first game. While she's still an antagonist in the second game, by the third game, she has become an ally. |
| 452 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Prior to her HeelFaceTurn, she was incapable of understanding why Fiona wanted to become human again or why anybody wouldn't want to be an etheral. |
| 453 | * EvilIsBigger: She's the BigBad of the original game and the tallest character, though Mei-Fang is stated to be heavier. |
| 454 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Mildred is the Responsible sibling to Angelia's Foolish. |
| 455 | * AGodAmI: Not ''[[DownplayedTrope quite]]'' a goddess, but when she gets the powers of an [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Archangel]], she starts saying things basically along this line: |
| 456 | -->'''Mildred:''' What is this feeling? Is this… Is this what it’s like to become an Archangel? The power of the Elementals is within me!! I am eternal!!! |
| 457 | * GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: In her Archangel form, her outfit is mostly white with gold lines. Her hair is also gold. |
| 458 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: After her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 459 | * HeelFaceTurn: By the third game. |
| 460 | * KnightOfCerebus: In the original game. The only comical moment is in Konoha's storyline due to Konoha getting lost in Mildred's motive rant. |
| 461 | * KnightTemplar: In the original game. She believes she is making the world a better place by merging it with the Elemental World and doesn't care if the rest of humanity doesn't want it. |
| 462 | * LargeHam: Once she becomes an Archangel, she starts hamming things up. |
| 463 | * LightEmUp: Discards her selection of other Arcana's attacks after the first game in favor of only using light-based ones. |
| 464 | * LightIsNotGood: She becomes an Archangel yet she want to cause a radical change to the world, not caring about the consequences or brushing them off. |
| 465 | * LightningBruiser: She's not especially quick with her regular movement speed. However, with her teleportation, it's a moot point. This is on top of her having far more health than any playable character, to the point where she can take off bigger chunks of a player's lifebar with her specials than they can with their supers. |
| 466 | * MsFanservice: She wears a skintight outfit that does nothing to hide her cleavage. |
| 467 | * NotQuiteTheRightThing: Her way of helping Fiona to reunite with everyone else was to turn everyone else into ethereal like Fiona, mainly because she never considered the possibility that someone might not want to be one. |
| 468 | * PetTheDog: Her treatment of Fiona. She genuinely cares for the latter. As a result, Mildred is ''not'' happy whenever Angelia abuses Fiona for her own amusement. |
| 469 | * PowerFloats: In her Archangel form, she floats instead of walking. The only times you will see her touch the ground is when she's knocked to it. |
| 470 | * PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Achieving her Archangel form causes her hair to go from short to stretching down to her feet. |
| 471 | * PowersDoTheFighting: In the original game, she doesn't use her hands and relies entirely on Arcana special moves. Her attack animations either consist of a BadassFingerSnap or swings her arm foward depending one what attack she's using. She doesn't even hold her arm up during a block animation. She ironically does start using physical attacks when she is an AssistCharacter to Angelia in the second game. |
| 472 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: As part of her transformation into an Archangel, she gains blood red eyes, in contrast to her initial blue eyes. |
| 473 | * SmugSuper: When she becomes an Archangel, she quickly becomes drunk on her new found power. She grows out of it. |
| 474 | * SNKBoss: In the first game. During the first phase of the battle, Mildred is in a cocoon like object while she transforms into her archangel form. She's protected by two orbiting AttackDrones that fire projectiles that cover the length of the stage and only reliable way to attack her without getting defeated is if the player has a character or Arcana with good projectiles. She's fought in her archangel form regardless of whether the player wins or loses, though. However, if the player doesn't defeat her during the first phase, she starts the match off with a maximum super meter. Furthermore, she has a collection of all the best moves in the game, has far more health than a normal character, and she can dish out more damage with a special move than the player can with a super move. Finally, Mildred has a screen filling super that will take half of the player's health if she catches them off guard. Also, it does more damage than any other attack in the game. |
| 475 | * StraightMan: In ''3'', Mildred is occasionally quite beleaguered when it comes to Angelia's actions. |
| 476 | * StationaryBoss: Mildred's first form doesn't move and relies on her AttackDrones to attack the player. |
| 477 | * TimeLimitBoss: She can't be defeated by letting the timer running out. If that happens, the player gets a bad ending because that gives time for Mildred's ritual to break the barrier between worlds. |
| 478 | * TookALevelInKindness: She drops her villainous behavior and wants to find how she can truly find a way for Fiona to return to the human world. |
| 479 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Thinks that merging the human and Elemental Worlds would give mankind salvation, nevermind the fact millions would outright die during the merge. |
| 480 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: She's a villainess who wants to radically alter the world in a manner that is implied will kill millions of people. |
| 481 | * VillainHasAPoint: In the original game, when Fiona expects Mildred to be able to make her human, Mildred points out that she didn't promise that. She said Fiona would be able to see her family again, and Fiona just believed what she wanted to hear. |
| 482 | * VisionaryVillain: In the original game, she seeks to create a new world by merging the human world with the Elemental Plane, believing she is doing humanity a favor. |
| 483 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: It's revealed in ''3'' that her actions were her means of trying to reunite with her sister. |
| 484 | * WingedHumanoid: She can turn her long hair into angelic wings. |

| 494 | * ChildProdigy: In Mei-Fang's text story, Mei Ling states she kept skipping grades and before she knew it she was at a university. |
| 495 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She is weird. She gets ideas that Catherine, having experienced being around her, says there is no point int trying to make sense of. |

| 498 | * PsychoLesbian: She invites Kira, Dorothy, and Catherine into hot springs, or more accurately, forces them, just so she can look at their bodies. She wanted to feel them up until Mei-Fang pointed out that it would mean they would never trust her again. |
| 499 | * PygmalionPlot: The way she behaves around Mei-Fang sometimes goes past "motherly" and starts to approach this. |
| 500 | * ReluctantMadScientist: In the first game, she is made to work for Mildred to advance her goals, though she didn't necessarily get kidnapped as Mei-Fang assumed as she willingly agreed to help Mildred for materials she could use to upgrade Mei-Fang. She did put a failsafe mechanism in case the dimension merge would happen, though if you get the bad ending it ends up failing. |

| 513 | Daughter of the influential Lagerkvist family, who have been some of the top officers in the Celestial Union. On the second Elemental World incident triggered by Angelia, she travels to Kanto to investigate, assisted by nuns Elsa and Clarice in her endeavors. However, her reputation for being capable enough to take on Angelia has led many of her comrades in Europe to become frustrated and jealous. Due to her desire to continue carrying out missions, she has effectively exiled herself to Japan in order to ease tensions. While in Japan, Petra became head of the Celestial Union's Rosenberg Branch, and has led the efforts of the branch to take on the mysterious Drexler Institute. Before the third game begins, her raids on the Drexler Institute's facilities in Japan led to her rescuing Weiss, Scharlachrot, and Eko. As such, when Scharlachrot goes missing and planar rifts begin to open up around Japan during the third game, Petra leads the charge, suspecting that the remnants of the Drexler Institute are planning something. |
| 514 | |
| 515 | Petra dual wields handguns in battle, giving her impressive zoning capabilites as long as she has ammo. She is also a fairly agile character, able to weave together shots with close range attacks. Her default Arcana, Zilrael, provides a lot of defensive capabilities, being able to keep opponents at bay with long range attacks, and providing the ability to recover a portion of lost health from damage in Extend Force. |
| 516 | ---- |
| 517 | * AnimeHair: Wears her hair in two enormous drill twintails that are ''bigger than her own body''. |
| 518 | * BigGood: Can be seen as this in ''3'' as she is the head of the family that actively opposes the Drexler Institute. |
| 519 | * DisturbedDoves: One of her win poses has her shooting her gun at the sky, causing a flock of doves flying past her in a possible ShoutOut to one of Creator/JohnWoo's trademarks. |
| 520 | * GunsAkimbo: Uses twin handguns in battle, making her similar to [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Noel Vermillion]], although Petra is far more sophisticated and confident. |

| 526 | * ShoutOut: Two of her palette swaps make her look like ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'''s Rin Tohsaka (as "Kaleido Ruby") and Mami Tomoe from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', herself a gunslinger. |
| 527 | * TertiarySexualCharacteristics: She wears a white rose hair decoration in her hair. |
| 528 | * WhatTheHellPlayer: Some of her quotes on the Continue screen are quite possibly the harshest: |

| 539 | After the dissolution of the Russian Celestial Police Corps where she worked, Zenia became a freelance agent specializing in resolving celestial incidents. During the events of the third game, she gains a new client in Petra, being called on to provide assistance to the Rosenberg Branch. While Zenia doesn't personally trust Petra all that much, she decides to accept since it provides her with work. |
| 540 | |
| 541 | |
| 542 | Zenia is a close-range fighter who deals hard hits. Certain attacks involving pilebunker gauntlet, Edinorog, can be charged up, and will gain power if the button is released when the charge hits a certain sweet spot. Her default arcana, Almacia, allows her to freeze her opponents, and changers her forward step into a dash that can be held indefinitely. |

| 547 | * CartoonPenguin: Her main Arcana, Almacia, is a penguin, and seems to like them as much as Kamui. |
| 548 | * ChargedAttack: A couple of her specials can be charged up with the Edinorog gauge, and the damage varies depending on where you stop the charge. Landing on green deals the minimum damage, landing on orange deals higher damage, and landing on the thin blue area deals the maximum damage. One of her supers also makes it so that her next charged special is always at maximum power. |
| 549 | * ExtremityExtremist: She uses very few kicks and mostly relies on punches and her pilebunker. |
| 550 | * FacePalmOfDoom: Her Critical Heart. |
| 551 | * FriendToAllChildren: She's surprisingly good with children. |
| 552 | * GratuitousRussian: All of her move names are written with Russian nouns, i.e. her command dash is called "Conquering Vihr’". [[spoiler:This is rather similar to how Lieselotte names her moves.]] |

| 554 | * AnIcePerson: Her default Arcana, Almacia, use the power of ice. |
| 555 | * LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:She is actually Elfriede Achenbach, Lieselotte's older sister, separated at birth and given a complete memory wash after being subjected to experiments by the Drexler Institute. She learned this from Petra at the end of ''3'' and returned to Lieselotte for a short time.]] |
| 556 | * MysticalWhiteHair: She kinda fits this in that she has silver hair and her origin is completely shrouded in mystery. [[spoiler: Kamui reveals in Liesolette's ending that it's a side-effect of the experiments conducted on her by the Drexler Institute.]] |

| 576 | A nun who assists Petra during the second Elemental World incident. She joined the Western Europe Spirit Sector after losing her family to a demon attack. Elsa and Clarice gained eternal life after a drawn-out fight with each other, which made the two former enemies very close to each other. She is very straight forward and sometimes too strict on herself. |
| 577 | |
| 578 | Elsa fights using a variety of weapons. She can throw stakes and vials of holy water, which will consecrate the area where they land. She can then use her tome to set these areas off, creating an attack at their locations. Many of other attacks provide good pressure, allowing her to get her opponent in range of consecrated areas or simply go on the offensive. Her default Arcana, Koshmar, is limited in terms of range when compared to other arcana, but can provide punishing counterattacks. Koshmar also makes E button neutrals unblockable when charged in exchange for removing their launching capabilities. Extend Force increases attack power and adds extra strikes to Koshmar's attacks in exchange for lower defense. |
| 579 | ---- |
| 580 | * BerserkButton: She does not like to be called old. |
| 581 | * ChurchMilitant: She's a demon slaying nun. |
| 582 | * CrossAttack: She normally fights with an oversized metal cross named [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Crux]]. |
| 583 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: It's not exactly harped upon in the story, but the reason Elsa joined the Western Europe Spirit Branch was because [[YouKilledMyFather demons murdered her family]]. |
| 584 | * DemonSlaying: She used to be an [[VanHelsingHateCrimes undiscriminating]] demon slayer when she was still mortal to the point where even her allies were afraid of her. [[IWorkAlone Not that she minded]]. It wasn't until she met Clarice that she mellowed down greatly. |
| 585 | * DepletedPhlebotinumShells: Pulls out a magical gun for her [[LimitBreak Critical Heart]]. |
| 586 | * {{Expy}}: The gun and cross aside, her other physical weapons? Holy Water, a whip, a stake, and a bible. Sounds like we have a lost [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Belmont]]. |
| 587 | * FireForgedFriends: She first met Clarice after being ordered to kill her by her employers. The battle ended badly for both, and their lives were saved by their respective Arcanas. |
| 588 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: She views herself in a really bad light, constantly saying that she is worthless and trying to make up for it by working way harder than she should. Usually many of her friends have to tell her that she shouldn't be so strict on herself. |
| 589 | * HolyHandGrenade: She can Consecrate a certain area with few of her move sand the release holy energy from them. |

| 593 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: She practically eats nothing but red bean pastries. |
| 594 | * UnorthodoxReload: Her Critical Heart first requires you to make do an input to make her flip a bullet like a coin and then do another input to make her draw out a {{Handcannon}} and let the bullet fall into the chamber. And if you do the enhanced version, she catches the spent shell with her gun to fire it again. |
| 595 | * VanHelsingHateCrimes: In the past, she used to detest demons for what they did to her family. Even after mellowing down, she still has to manually control herself when interacting with them. |
| 596 | * WeaponBasedCharacterization: One of her moves is to lash out a whip. |

| 603 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clarice_di_lanza.png]] |
| 604 | A nun who assists Petra during the second Elemental World incident. She used to be a noblewoman in the elemental world, being both a friend of Lilica's father, and the daughter of Mike's master, but boredom drove her to switch allegiances, and later became an agent of the Western Europe Spirit Sector after a rough encounter with Elsa. |
| 605 | |
| 606 | Clarice can be a fairly tricky character to master. Her attacks boast impressive speed, and she posesses the ability to drain both health and Arcana Gauge from her opponents. However, she has [[GlassCannon fairly frail defenses]], especially when paired with her default Arcana Sorwat requiring her to sacrifice health to use its arcana specials. This frailty can work to her advantage, though, as Sorwat's Extend Force will power Clarice up as her health gets lower. |
| 607 | ---- |
| 608 | * AbsurdlySharpClaws: She can apparently claw through the air with her fingernails. They extend in length when they need to, usually when she's pissed off and her eyes are open. |
| 609 | * BerserkButton: Call her old, and she gets visibly mad at you. She also seems to have some kind of beef with Maori that goes beyond mere jealousy that she's a friend of Elsa, and acts like she's barely able to hold herself back from killing her when they talk. |
| 610 | * TheBully: She can be like this towards Fiona, often teasing her about the secret to making her human again. |
| 611 | * CastFromHitPoints: Some of Sorwat's attacks cost a bit of Clarice's health. |
| 612 | * ChurchMilitant: Looks like a nun and does combat, although she's a demoness and thus should be rooting for the other side. |
| 613 | * ClingyJealousGirl: She tends to get herself worked up if she thinks Elsa is paying too much attention to someone other than herself. Her MirrorMatch quote comes close to {{Yandere}} territory. |
| 614 | --> '''Clarice:''' I don't mind if you want to play dress-up, but... If you lay a finger on Elsa, I just don't know what I might do to you... Do we understand each other? |
| 615 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's certainly quite quirky. Her personal profile actually lists common sense as her weakest subject. |
| 616 | * CoolBigSis: Seems to act as one for the other sisters in her convent, if one of her win poses is any indication. As such, if you harm her friends, she will come after you to take revenge. |
| 617 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Although she's a demoness, she is generally nice and soft-spoken. |
| 618 | * FireForgedFriends: She first met Elsa after the latter was ordered to kill her by her employers. The battle ended badly for both, and their lives were saved by their respective Arcanas. |
| 619 | * EyesAlwaysShut: If those eyes open, beware. The ground even shakes when her eyes open for added effect. |
| 620 | * FragileSpeedster: The most frail character this side of Scharlachrot, but she also has one of the fastest attacks in the game. |
| 621 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: Downplayed since her friends and allies are still on good terms with her and do genuinely like her, but because Clarice is prone to moments of bad behavior, they (usually Petra and Elsa) can be a bit stern with her in order to keep her in check. |
| 622 | * {{Immortality}}: She became immortal after her battle against Elsa and making a deal with Sorwat. |
| 623 | * LifeDrain: Clarice can create a circle around her that passively drains the health of the opponent. |
| 624 | * {{Manchild}}: She claims she's eternally 15 at heart, and she definitely has her moments of immaturity, such as getting jealous that Elsa is paying so much attention to Eko, a 5 year old child, and the fact she very rarely takes things seriously. |
| 625 | * NaughtyNun: Not only is she a nun, she is also quite impure, starting from her demon heritage and her light and very playful personality, not to mention her Arcana, which represents ''Sin''. |
| 626 | * NunTooHoly: Besides the fact that she's a ''demoness'', or perhaps ''because'' of that fact, she tends to act immoral at times, though she usually means well. |
| 627 | * PsychoticSmirk: On the extremely rare occasion that she [[EyesAlwaysShut opens]] her [[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes]], her benevolent looking smile evolves into one. Simply put, you don't want this. |
| 628 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: When her eyes open, her red eyes are quite sinister. |

| 643 | While Yodogawa's large frame makes Catherine an easy target to hit, it can also be deciptively agile, and is able to hover in the air while launching strikes from above. Catherine can also activate a number of special weapons on Yodogawa, giving her an ability to attack at all ranges, though close range tends to be where she shines best due to the nature of many of her specials and Median's ability to draw Catherine's opponents in with magnetism. Median can also create magnetic fields that will draw in magnetic objects, which can provide a way to interrupt an opponent's assault. |
| 644 | ---- |
| 645 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Quite literally; she's an eccentric inventor who went to MIT, which means she's really damn smart. She also has actual bunny ears. |
| 646 | * ButNotTooForeign: She is Japanese-American. |
| 647 | * ChildProdigy: She has built a fully functional multi-purpose {{Magitek}} MiniMecha. She is only ten years old. |
| 648 | * CompanionCube: She sometimes talks to Yodogawa like it was a person. |
| 649 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Like Kira, she's excellent at science, and terrible at any subject outside of it. |
| 650 | * {{Eagleland}}: Combined with her Kansai accent and PhenotypeStereotype appearance, she's pretty much a personification of how Japan views Americans as. |
| 651 | * {{Foil}}: To Kira. |
| 652 | * ImprobableAge: Enrolled at MIT when she was ''ten''. |
| 653 | * LeotardOfPower: Wears a red one and nothing else, unless you count her hat. |
| 654 | * MiniMecha: It is called "Terry Yodogawa". Not quite large enough to be HumongousMecha, but large enough to make her the tallest character in the cast. |
| 655 | * MoralityPet: Of sorts, to Kira. Catherine is one of the few people who actually ''like'' the arrogant genius girl. And while Kira seems to find her annoying, she does ocassionally refer to her as her friend. |
| 656 | * OddFriendship: With Kira. Despite their differring personalities, they get along quite well. |
| 657 | * ShoutOut: Her design and color scheme pretty much screams of a loli, non-pudgy [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]]. |
| 658 | * StuffBlowingUp: All of her supers has something blowing up, be it a CartoonBomb, a miniature drone of Yodogawa called Minigawa, multiple firework missiles, or the Yodogawa itself creating the explosion. |
| 659 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Okonomiyaki and takoyaki, rooting back to her family roots in Osaka. |

| 666 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuuKobayashi |
| 667 | [[quoteright:247:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dorothy_albright.png]] |
| 668 | An American magus who works in Las Vegas as stage magician "Dorothy the Wizard", while moonlighting as the noble thief Phantom of Oz. She has a strong sense of justice and helps the American Spirit Department whenever she can. She's pursuing Liesolette in order to retrieve a stolen Celestial Stone that was her family heirloom. |
| 669 | |
| 670 | Dorothy posesses a unique card mechanic, in which her specials can summon playing cards onto the screen. When five cards are on the screen, they will create a hand, and gain special properties, based on the type of cards on the screen, such as pairs of cards, straights, or flushes. This can make Dorothy a tricky fighter who can strike at unexpected times with proper set-play. Dorothy's default Arcana, Heliogabalus, gives her the ability to copy the moves of opponents. In Extend Force, she will become harder to see, and using an Arcana Break will create mirror copies of herself, allowing her attacks to strike multiple times. |
| 671 | ---- |
| 672 | * AdorablyPrecociousChild: She's only nine, but she's almost always focused on her work life and she cares about being treated seriously. Her Memories storyline revolves around her learning to focus on things other than her work and coming to realize it's ok for her to indulge her childish side. |
| 673 | * BlackMagicianGirl: She's stage magician who dabbles in black magic. |
| 674 | * BoyishShortHair: She ties her hair in this fashion to the point where she could easily be mistaken for a boy. One of special CG in ''3'' shows that her actual hair length is much longer. |
| 675 | * CaneFu: Her attacks aside of cards are consist of attacking with her cane. Her down air B is even a [[VideoGame/DuckTales pogo cane!]] |
| 676 | * DeathDealer: Her specials involves using giant playing cards to attack, and they even have a special mechanism where having five cards on the screen has her "dealing them out", with the attack base on what hand you got. |
| 677 | * GratuitousEnglish: She ''is'' from North America, but still: |
| 678 | -->''Shall we go?!'' |
| 679 | -->''One, two, three!'' |
| 680 | -->''It's showtime!'' |
| 681 | * ImprobableAge: Was the youngest fighter in the series until Eko appeared, and at the age of nine, she's a popular stage magician in Las Vegas. |
| 682 | * InTheBlood: Her mother was magician and worked for Celestial Union and her father was acrobat and a thief, paving her way to being a magician and a thief herself, while also helping the Celestial Union. |
| 683 | * {{Irony}}: Despite being a thief, some of her motivations in the story is to get something that was ''stolen'' from her. It's a Celestial Stone that was stolen by Lieselotte. |
| 684 | * LadyLooksLikeADude: By just looking at her, it is hard to tell right away that she's a girl. |
| 685 | * LikesClarkKentHatesSuperman: Dorothy is a friend of police officer Leina Cage, who is the SympatheticInspectorAntagonist trying to apprehend Dorothy's thief persona. |
| 686 | * LovableRogue: Even though she's a thief, she steals for the sake of justice, and is really friendly outside of that. |
| 687 | * MagiciansAreWizards: Don't let her StageMagician role fool you, her Arcana Magic is quite real. |
| 688 | * MasterOfDisguise: She can easily use her magic to change her costume on the spot to distract any incoming police. |
| 689 | * PowerCopying: Her default Arcana, Heliogabalus, can mimic her opponent's attacks. |
| 690 | * RedBaron: "Phantom Oz". |
| 691 | * ShoutOut: Her overall theme and her familiars -- a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion -- are all taken from ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz''. Also, one of her alternate colors resemble [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Carl Clover]]. |
| 692 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She absolutely hates cockroaches, to the point that even saying that word makes her creep out. Ironically, her Arcana is a ladybug, which gets pointed out at one point. She also fears octopi. |

| 700 | Mildred's sister bent on avenging the former's defeat. She ascended to the Arcana World seven years before the events of the games, leaving her both physically and mentally immature. After her defeat in the second game, she mellows out just a bit, and uses the events of the third game to go sightseeing in Japan. |
| 701 | |
| 702 | As a playable character, Angelia's specials are tend to be defensive in nature, including charge inputs, counter attacks, and teleports. These can serve to keep Angelia safe while charging up dropkicks to punish opponents. Her sister Mildred acts as her default Arcana, and will join the battle directly when Extend Force is activated, allowing the sisters to combine their attacks and put pressure on opponents. |
| 703 | ---- |
| 704 | * AgeInappropriateDress: All she seems to be wearing is a translucent shirt that is few sizes too big for her with no real suggestion for any underwear. While ReallySevenHundredYearsOld is in play here, that's still hardly an appropriate thing for someone whose body is eternally ten years old to wear. |
| 705 | * AlliterativeName: '''A'''ngelia '''A'''vallone. |
| 706 | * AvengingTheVillain: She is Mildred's sister and has come to avenge her. |
| 707 | * BrattyHalfPint: Oh yeah, she's quite the brat, despite being Mildred's ''older'' sister. |
| 708 | * ChargedAttack: her "Ending Sadness" special is a dropkick that is performed by holding down one of the attack buttons. While it normally only requires you to hold down a button for few seconds to do, holding it down longer powers it up to the point that if you hold it down for ''half a match'', it becomes a super-powerful UnblockableAttack. |
| 709 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: She is actually as concern of finding a way to turn Fiona back to human as Mildred is. It's just that she doesn't want to reveal it to Fiona. |
| 710 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's a BrattyHalfPint, but underneath it she is a nice person. Though doesn't like to admit it. |
| 711 | * LightIsNotGood: You think she looks like a little angel? You will be surprised when you get to know her dark personality. |
| 712 | * LittleBigSister: She is actually Mildred's ''older'' (twin) sister. [[spoiler: She stopped aging at the age of 10 after ascending to the Elemental world]]. |
| 713 | * MagicalBarefooter: Since she constantly floats in midair, she doesn't need to wear shoes. |
| 714 | * OjouRinglets: Sports side locks with ringlets at the end. |
| 715 | * OldShame: If her dialog with Scharlachrot before her boss fight in ''3'' is any indication, she's apparently a little embarrassed about her how she acted during the second game, wondering if she sounded as crazy as Scharlachrot does. |
| 716 | * OlderThanSheLooks: Due to being in the magical world, her aging has stopped. She's actually older than Mildred. |
| 717 | * PromotedToPlayable: The only final boss to become a playable character, aside from Minori. |
| 718 | * ShoutOut: Some of her alternate colors evoke [[Literature/{{Toradora}} Taiga Aisaka]], [[Literature/ShakuganNoShana Shana]], [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rider (Medusa)]] and [[Manga/SquidGirl Ika Musume]]. |
| 719 | * UseYourHead: Besides her The Sparkle of Starlight move, what has her ramming head first forwards, she also uses headbutts regularly outside of gameplay, which seems to be strong enough to knock down dinosaur-like creatures or shatter rock. |

| 726 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Mai Hashimoto |
| 727 | [[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nazuna_inuwaka.png]] |
| 728 | Part of the Inuwakamaru clan that guards Kamui, which puts her as rivals with Konoha. Nazuna is the younger, and more responsible sister. She fights using her three sacred weapons Tsumiko (cane), [[AttackAnimal Fusumi (crow), and Hayata (wolf)]]. |
| 729 | ---- |
| 730 | * CanineCompanion: Hayata, who is [[CanisMajor big enough to ride]] which also makes it a HorseOfADifferentColor. |
| 731 | * CarryABigStick: Tsukimo is essentially a large cane with a hammer-like head. |
| 732 | * CreepyCrows: Fusumi does have rather imitating appearance, not helped by that it is also an AttackAnimal. |
| 733 | * {{Expy}}: Of ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown's'' Nakoruru, what with the bird companion. She's actually a combination of both her forms and this is referenced with having palettes based on Nakoruru, her Bust palette, Rera and Rimururu for good measure. |
| 734 | * FullNameBasis: She tends to refer Konoha as "Konoha Koinumaru", mainly as their rivalry is also rooted to their clan's history of serving the Millennial Guardian. |
| 735 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she can act really harsh on her sister Akane, she does still care for her. And while she is determined to defeat Konoha, she at least knows if she unnecessarily screwed something over her and tries to make up for it. |
| 736 | * MatureYoungerSibling: Nazuna is far less easygoing than Akane is, and takes her work a lot more seriously. |
| 737 | * LoyalAnimalCompanion: Two of them, one of which is a NobleWolf. |
| 738 | * LittleBitBeastly: Has dog ears and tail. |
| 739 | * PetalPower: Kayatsuhime has the power of Blossoms. |
| 740 | * TheRival: To Konoha. Both of them compete for Kamui's attention. Kamui for her part stays out of it. |

| 748 | Nazuna's older, laidback sister. Despite her easygoing disposition, she's pretty competent at her job as a member of the Inuwakamaru clan. |
| 749 | |
| 750 | Akane's playstyle places a lot of focus on rushdown aspects. She possesses a special Kotodama gauge that can store up to three charges. These charges can be spent in order to chain together Akane's specials, extending her combos. Her default Arcana Phenex gives her set-play aspects as well, creating canons that will react to specials. |
| 751 | ---- |
| 752 | * BigSisterInstinct: She is overprotective of her younger sister. |
| 753 | * CatchPhrase: "Suggoi, suggoi". It doubles as a TitleDrop. |
| 754 | * CoolBigSis: Despite bumbling here and there. |
| 755 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: She likes slacking off, playing around and not taking things seriously. But when she takes it seriously, she really is that good. |
| 756 | * FreakinessShame: She is embarrassed about her dog ears and tail and tries to constantly hide them. |
| 757 | * KickChick: Almost all of her attacks has her using her legs to attack. |

| 759 | * LetsGetDangerous: You know she means business once she stops taking things easy. |
| 760 | * LittleBitBeastly: Has dog ears and a tail. |
| 761 | * MakeMeWannaShout: Her default Arcana, Phenex, uses sound-based attacks. |
| 762 | * MagicMusic: Akane ''loves'' to sing. And she's actually very good at it; matter of fact, her singing is what got her her Arcana to begin with. |
| 763 | %% * {{Ninja}} |
| 764 | * ShoutOut: One of her palette changes makes her resemble Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya. |
| 765 | * UnknownRival: She wants to form a rivalry with Maori's older sister Tsuzune, but because she never actually made that clear to her and mostly just waited for her to take the hint, Tsuzune has absolutely no idea about their supposed rivalry being a thing. |

| 772 | An elven girl, the Arcana of Life, and the main antagonist of ''Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2''. She was once human, a Swiss alchemist during the Renaissance. When she died, her soul went to the Arcana world, where she became the Arcana of Life. She refers to herself as the "Millennium Keeper", similar to how Kamui is called the "Millennium Guardian", and in fact has battled with Kamui several times in the past. |
| 773 | ---- |
| 774 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Like Mildred, she borrows several attacks from other Arcana. |
| 775 | * BadassCape: She wears one when she transforms into an elven girl. |
| 776 | * BespectacledCutie: She wears a pair of glasses in her human form. |
| 777 | * BigBad: Of ''Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2''. |
| 778 | * CurbStompBattle: How ''every'' fight against her tends to go. [[SNKBoss In her favor, of course]]. In ''3'', it's not uncommon for players going up against her to fail to land a single hit. |
| 779 | * EvilIsBigger: By a hair. She's an inch taller than Mildred, making her the tallest character in the series, unless you count [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Ragnarok]]. |
| 780 | * GlassCannon: Can deal ridiculous amounts of damage in even faster time, but a little bit of damage can knock her out. Now the problem is actually hitting her before her health regenerates... |
| 781 | * HealingFactor: What makes her so incredibly frustrating to fight against. She slowly but steadily regains health. If you can actually hit her, odds are she will regain the health while wailing on you. |
| 782 | * IconicSequelCharacter: Thanks to her appearance in ''3'', she has become the most well known boss in the series, even though she didn't appear until the UpdatedRerelease of the second game. |
| 783 | * MeaningfulName: She's named after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracelsus Swiss alchemist Theoprastus Paracelsus]]. |
| 784 | * MsFanservice: Her clothing does nothing to hide her ample breasts, which are the largest next to Mei-Fang's, and she only has a square piece of cloth down below. |
| 785 | * MysticalWhiteHair: She is an elven girl with pinkish white hair. |
| 786 | * NerdsAreSexy: In her past life, she was an alchemist. She's a chemistry teacher in the modern day. |
| 787 | * {{Nerf}}: |
| 788 | ** Her super moves are weaker in ''Arcana Heart 3'' with her offensive one no longer being a OneHitKO and the one that speeds up her regeneration doesn't heal her as quickly. This does ''not'' make her any easier as she has is given a PerfectPlayAI in that game. |
| 789 | ** When she is summoned through her Extend Force, even putting aside the brief duration she is playable, her combo ability isn't anywhere near what she could do as a boss. |
| 790 | * OmnidisciplinaryScientist: She's an alchemist/chemistry teacher, yet creating [[MixAndMatchCritter Pistrix]] would require extensive knowledge of biology. |
| 791 | * PerfectPlayAI: Part of why she is so much harder in ''Arcana Heart 3''. Her AI is far more aggressive and uses every one of her broken abilities to their fullest. She can and will kill the player before they can land a single blow. |
| 792 | * PhysicalGoddess: She's the Arcana of Life. |
| 793 | * PointyEars: When she transforms into an elven girl. |
| 794 | * PowerFloats: After transforming, she floats instead of walking. |
| 795 | * PowersDoTheFighting: Like Mildred, none of her attacks even involve physically touching her opponent, just casual gestures that give the feeling she isn't even trying. |
| 796 | * PromotedToPlayable: Like Mildred before, she eventually became a usable Arcana. Unlike Mildred, who's merely an AssistCharacter, activating Extend Force allows you to take control of Parace for a limited amount of time. |
| 797 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She was originally from the Renaissance, though exactly when isn't stated, but she should be over three hundred years old at least. |
| 798 | * SNKBoss: Although she has less health than her, Parace tops even Mildred herself in the cheapness department. She has a collection of the game's best moves, she recovers her health gradually, and her regular attacks also have range akin to projectiles that comes out too fast to dodge. She also has a OneHitKO super move that cannot be dodged, another super move that allows her to rapidly heal herself ''and'' refill her super meter, and she teleports ridiculously. She's somehow even worse in ''3'''s Score Attack, which quite possibly makes her the single hardest fighting game boss ''ever'', hence why this has earned her the title as being one of the most ridiculous examples of this ever (including most of ''Creator/{{SNK}}''). While her aforementioned super move is no longer a OneHitKO, she can read your inputs and is far more aggressive. She can easily pull off combos that will deplete your lifebar if she manages to hit you even once. She teleports much more too, making even hitting her a chore. Basically the only reliable way to beat Parace is to try again and again, because the more times you lose to her the less health she starts the fight with. As of ''[[UpdatedRerelease LOVE MAX!!!!!]]'', however, the final part doesn't happen anymore as she's a fought as a challenge separate from Score Attack. |
| 799 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: She only wears a cape, and one square piece of cloth protecting her modesty. |
| 800 | * TakeOverTheWorld: Her goal is to distort dimensions and control all life. |
| 801 | * TeleportSpam: In ''3'', she uses her teleport more than her regular movement. Even her animation where she gets back up after losing a round is done via teleport. |
| 802 | * TookALevelInBadass: Not that she wasn't a formidable opponent in her debut, but when she appeared in ''3'', her combo ability was dialed up to insane degrees and she has a PerfectPlayAI It's not uncommon for matches to simply consist of her wailing on her opponent while they fail to even fight back. |
| 803 | * TrueFinalBoss: Of ''Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2''. |

| 829 | ** Her design is also similar to [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Dark Saber]], specializes in summoning blades out of thin air, and "[[StormOfBlades Extend Force Critical Heart]]" brings to mind the legendary "Unlimited Blade Works". |

| 841 | |
| 842 | |
| 843 | Eko and Kazu's specialty is ConfusionFu. Their neutrals can hit at odd angles, deal multiple hits, or stall their descent from midair. Adding to the confusion is an element of randomness. Eko can create randomized drawings with different effects, and her default Arcana, Saligrama, can randomly give the duo special buffs such as a LastChanceHitPoint, reduced damage, or boosting the priority of their attacks when countering. The frequency of these buffs can be increased via special commands. |

| 867 | * AllEncompassingMantle: Her cape covers her body up in her official artwork. |
| 868 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Her obsession with Weiß. She is the only person who matters to Scharlachrot. |
| 869 | * AnimalMecha: Her Arcana Baldur. [[spoiler:Also artificially created.]] |
| 870 | * AntiAntiChrist: In her story mode, the Drexler Institute sent her to gather the Celestial Stones and use them to power Ragnarok. After she did her job, she stopped the weapon. |
| 871 | * AxCrazy: [[spoiler:She gets a little bit better in her ending, but still can tip into this.]] |
| 872 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Due to her outfit which consists of a bikini-style top and hot pants. |
| 873 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Drexler forced her to gather enough Celestial Stones to activate Ragnarok. In her story, once you defeat Weiß and Ragnarok powers up, she snaps out of it.]] |
| 874 | * CharacterTic: Flicking her arm whenever she goes into an idle position. |
| 875 | * ChainPain: Her main weapons include chains. |
| 876 | * ClingyJealousGirl: [[spoiler:Her post-''3'' characterization has her more or less clinging into Weiß due of her being the only thing left what connects her to this world after the fall of the Institute.]] |
| 877 | * DeathSeeker: Unless the player is using her, she awaits Ragnarok destroying her along with the rest of Japan. |
| 878 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Outside of her storyline. She is what drives the story mode of ''3'', but it's Rangarok that serves as the FinalBoss. |
| 879 | * TheDogBitesBack: After delivering the Celestial Stones to fuel Ragnarok in her story mode, she instantly turns on it and swears to destroy it for everything Weiß was put through because of it. |
| 880 | * EvilRedhead: Due to her AxCrazy personality. |
| 881 | * {{Expy}}: She's an AxCrazy girl with a PsychoticSmirk, uses chains, occasionally has bouts where she's LaughingMad, is one of the most evil characters in the series ([[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds as much as its standards go]]) who hates the world, and wants to use an AppliedPhlebotinum for that purpose. Pretty much a less FauxAffablyEvil [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Terumi]]. |
| 882 | * FieryRedhead: Even after her [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]], she can still get riled up pretty easily. |
| 883 | * HeelFaceTurn: In her story mode, she can't disobey the orders she was brainwashed to follow, so she had to gather the Celestial Stones to power Ragnarok. Once she did her job, she stopped the weapon out revenge for Weiß suffering because of it. |

| 885 | * ImprobableHairstyle: Her twintails are ''very'' long, so much so that they are nearly as long as her entire body. |
| 886 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Still a bit rough around the edges socially, but she does seem to have her moments when she genuinely can show kindness to people other than Weiss. In her Memories scenario, despite the fact she regularly is willing to push the BerserkButton of Elsa and Clarice by making fun of their age, she ends up deciding to remember their names out of gratitude when the nuns help set up a date between her and Weiss. |
| 887 | * KnightOfCerebus: The biggest one in the series so far. Not only does she have no comical moments, the introductions with her have her going berserk and trying to destroy all of Japan, including herself. Even if you play her story route, where she is more mellow, she still has no comical moments. |
| 888 | * MeaningfulName: ''Scharlachrot'' means "scarlet red", in reference to her [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow hair/eye color]] as well as her bloodlust. |
| 889 | * NebulousEvilOrganisation: She was part of the Drexler Institute before the organization was taken down by Petra. |
| 890 | * OnlyKnownByHerNickname: "Scharlachrot" is actually a code name designated to her by Drexler Institute. She doesn't actually have a normal human name, something she is rather conscious about. |

| 893 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red to Weiß's blue. |

| 895 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: She wears a bikini-style top and hot pants under her cape and not much else. |
| 896 | * ThemeNaming: Baldur is not a reference to the [[LightIsGood benevolent Norse god of light]], but to Baldur von Schirach. It even has a move called Agosai Schirach (Jawbreaking Schirach). |
| 897 | * TragicVillain: She was turned into a weapon against her will, and due to the Drexler Institute's brainwashing that has left mentally unsound, to say the least. |
| 898 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds in a series full of kindness and optimism. |
| 899 | * WhenSheSmiles: Her ending finally has give a legimate smile in response to the kindness of Eko and Weiß, and she's adorable. |
| 900 | * {{Yandere}}: For Weiß. [[spoiler:Probably a result of Drexler's brainwashing.]] |

| 913 | * FinalBoss: Is the final opponent of every character in the story mode of ''3'' and ''LOVE MAX!!!!!''. ''SIX STARS!!!!!!'' downplays it thanks to Minori. |
| 914 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: Being a giant robot, it has no personality having just been built to destroy Japan. |
| 915 | * HumongousMecha: It's an absolutely humongous mecha-like being, to the point that it overshadows some of the Arcanas. |
| 916 | * JoustingLance: It carries a gigantic spear that after thirty seconds, will fire a barrage of beams that can only be dodged by jumping above it before it fires. |
| 917 | * KnightOfCerebus: By virtue of being a giant robot build to cause to destruction, there is nothing comedic about it. |

| 920 | * NighInvulnerable: Ragnarok is indestructible, the only way to stop it is to break the Celestial Stones powering it. |
| 921 | * TheOneGuy: [[spoiler:Although being an artificial Arcana, he may not count.]] |
| 922 | * OurCentaursAreDifferent: It seems to strike for a eight-legged centaur imagery, with its legs being shaped like horse legs. |
| 923 | * StationaryBoss: Due to its sheer size, it's impossible for to actually move in gameplay because it already takes up so much of the screen. |
| 924 | * SweepingLaserExplosion: One of its supers has it tracing both of the available platforms with a small laser from left eye which is followed up with shock waves. |
| 925 | * TimeLimitBoss: No matter what the game timer is set to, you have 60 seconds to destroy it. If you "win" via timeout, you get the bad ending -- at least losing either by timeout or KO still allows you to continue. |
| 926 | * TheUnfought: In ''LOVE MAX SIX STARS!!!!!!'', due to being destroyed by Minori, who serves as the FinalBoss instead. |
| 927 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: A robot built to destroy a country, and if the player doesn't defeat in time, [[ItsAWonderfulFailure it will do so]]. |
| 928 | * VocalDissonance: It's a giant WeaponOfMassDestruction and it speaks with a generic female voice. |
| 929 | * WeaponOfMassDestruction: A giant robot that on top of its weapons it attacks the player with, has some type of weapon that after it finishes charging will destroy Japan. |

After feelings of frustration arose in herself as the Misono Academy girls are off protecting the world in secret, she decided to take up the mantle for herself.

| 941 | * BloodyMurder: Hers is the Arcana of Blood, Ichor. Its attacks include splashing the opponent with blood. |
| 942 | * ClubStub: Zigzagged when Minori tries to propose her Hero Club idea in her ending. When Saki points out that even with herself, Heart, and Akane, Minori's one student short of getting it approved, Weiß shows up as an exchange student and joins in. |

| 988 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Her [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver appearance]] and attitude in battle might suggest that she is evil, but many of her victory quotes show that she is much nicer than she lets out to be. [[JerkassToOne Unless you are Heart, that is]]. |
