| 20 | ->''"I'd do anything to protect this world.”'' |
| 21 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SanaeKobayashi |
| 22 | |
| 23 | An amnesiac young girl who wakes up with no memories as she falls to Hekseville. There, she meets Dusty, a strange black cat that gives her [[GravityMaster gravity-shifting]] powers. She quickly embraces a superhero role within the city of Hekseville as a gravity shifter. Her adventures eventually take her to the ends of the world, where she is allowed glimpses of her clouded past. |
| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * AchillesHeel: Kat's [[GravityMaster gravity manipulation powers]] and immunity from gravitational forces are entirely reliant on the well-being and close proximity of her GuardianEntity, Dusty. If Dusty were to feel sick, the length of time that Kat could use her power would become shorter. Upon separation by a good distance or in a special containment, Kat is [[DePower unable to use her powers at all]]. This comes into play during several missions in the first game [[spoiler:and she's nearly captured by the Hekseville military when they catch Dusty and freeze her]]. The second game starts with Kat separated from Dusty due to a gravity storm and shows that she has to use special protective gear to go into the Rifts like everyone else. |
| 26 | * ActionGirl: She improves her Gravity abilities to become this. |
| 27 | * ACupAngst: Kat tends to wince at offhand remarks about her less-than-impressive bust. |
| 28 | * AfterActionHealingDrama: In the sequel. Kat is beaten up so badly during her first fight with "Night Gale"/[[spoiler:Brainwashed Raven]] that she gets knocked out cold. The next scene shows her unconscious with Syd by her bedside, who comments to Cecie and Lisa that the ordeal has given her a nasty concussion. |
| 29 | * {{Ahoge}}: She sports one in her Sea Cat uniform, although a helmet covers part of it. |
| 30 | * AllLovingHero: She is always willing to help anyone, including those who just attacked her. Best seen with her interactions with Raven and Yunica. [[spoiler:This is ultimately what caused her to fall from her position from Eto; the minute she found out that there were people below the city that would get consumed by the void that was making it up the world pillar, she could think of nothing but trying to find a way to save them.]] |
| 31 | * AmbiguouslyBi: She's rather boy-crazy in the first game, often complaining about her lack of a boyfriend in the menu screen for the story missions, and quickly develops a crush on accidental playboy Newt. Nevertheless, she loses that slight obsession to get a boyfriend in between the two games and basically asks Aki out on a date before the final battle, to which Aki changes to just watching TV. In the sequel, after bonding with her former rival, Kat's chemistry with Raven reaches several LesYay moments, up to and including sharing a bed after reuniting and privately admitting she had her "deepest sleep" after learning Raven was safe. |
| 32 | * AmnesiacHero: Unlike most amnesiac protagonists, Kat realizes that she has no memories yet moves on from the issue with little fuss, and is optimistic about living in and protecting Hekseville, rather than being moody about it and trying to piece together clues. You might forget about this cliché and it's essentially a {{Superhero}} origin story. |
| 33 | * AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:Kat's fate after being tricked and frozen in the last episode. Thankfully, [[BigDamnHeroes Syd and Cyanea free her]].]] |
| 34 | * AnimalMotifs: Cats. The theme also shows up in aspects of Kat's personality, such as her independent attitude, curious nature, and tendency to flee when things get a bit too intense. Crosses over with MeaningfulName. |
| 35 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: [[spoiler:After joining the Snakerabbits she's quickly promoted as their leader after saving them from the Nevi. However, she'd disband the crew because they only caused trouble around the city]]. |
| 36 | ** Not so much back when [[spoiler:she was Queen of Eto, seeing as she had no Guardian and got thrown over a railing by Xicero. It took her falling to Heksville before she started moving into this trope]]. |
| 37 | * AssKicksYou: One of her gestures. "Hip Attack" is the only gesture that can put townsfolk into the "frantic" animation, which will cause them to run away and eventually disappear from the game. And do damage to enemies. |
| 38 | * BadassAdorable: She's an absolutely cute girl who has gravity shift powers and can kick ass at the same time. |
| 39 | * BadassArmFold: Does one of these during the Gravity Rush: Overture OVA. |
| 40 | * BigEater: She's not as bad as Raven, but the ''Overture'' anime and ''2'' show she can really pack it in. |
| 41 | * BraidsOfAction: Once Kat switches over to her Sea Cat outfit, she uses these. |
| 42 | * BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:As Queen Alua in the sequel, most of the council disagree with her when she says the people of Eto need to be saved.]] |
| 43 | * BroughtDownToBadass: She either has her shifting powers severely weakened or loses them outright at various points in the game due to people messing with Dusty, but she can still kill Nevi with her own strength. |
| 44 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: She has trouble remembering her Number One Fan when he reveals his obsession with her, only knowing him from some more recent meetings, and not their first one. |
| 45 | * TheCape: Mainly, her job is to help the others around Hekseville while the city is being torn apart. |
| 46 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: Kat can never resist the opportunity to help someone. Even someone as low as a DirtyOldMan who wants to see pictures of beautiful women before he passes on. [[spoiler:The same was true of Queen Alua, much as her subjects and advisors were against it.]] |
| 47 | %%* CombatStilettos |
| 48 | * CombatPragmatist: She can use the environment along with her Stasis Field to grab the trash and throw it at the Nevi. |
| 49 | * CovertPervert: During the Maid DLC mission, she shows...interest in fragments of a cheesy porno. Or what ''seems'' to be a porno. |
| 50 | * CuteBruiser: Don't her [[TheCutie adorable personality]] and beautiful looks fool you as she is a GravityMaster. |
| 51 | * CuteClumsyGirl: She'll fall. ''A lot.'' Even in some cutscenes. |
| 52 | ** [[https://web.archive.org/web/20130218130956/http://beamspams.tumblr.com/post/36415134107/behold-the-most-well-coordinated-superhero-of-all Behold]], [[SarcasmMode the most well-coordinated superhero of all time.]] |
| 53 | * TheCutie: Beautiful, is very adorable, and ridiculously sweet? Check, check, and check. |
| 54 | * CutscenePowerToTheMax: Downplayed. She seems to be more graceful with her gravity powers while in cutscenes compared to gameplay, where the player can find themselves flying out of control and making rough landings. |
| 55 | * DashAttack: Both her Gravity Kick and Spiraling Claw count. |
| 56 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: She was called the "fallen queen" due to being the only member of the royal family with no guardian of her own. Things only got worse when she attempted to warn the people of Hekseville about the rising sea of darkness threatening to destroy them, which caused her to be usurped and left for dead by one of her own advisers.]] |
| 57 | * DeadpanSnarker: Despite her cute appearance, Kat gets her snark on constantly at the nonsense surrounding her, mostly to herself or to Syd. One notable moment came during the anime Overture, when Syd insists he's the brain since he can't be the brawn. "Right now, you're neither," Kat dryly remarks. |
| 58 | %%* DivingKick: Obviously, Gravity Kick is this, but you can choose ''where'' to dive from. |
| 59 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Poor girl seldom ever gets any credit for her heroics, despite being a sort of HometownHero: with only certain exceptions the people of Hekseville routinely forget about her, scorn her for little reason, or dismiss her to her face as yesterday's news ''even as she's saving their lives.'' This is especially noticeable in the second game, where she eventually becomes beloved by Jirga Para Lhao, but Hekseville continues to barely give her the time of day. She eventually finds real fans of hers in the second game's postgame, though. |
| 60 | * ExtremityExtremist: Fights almost exclusively with kicks in the first game, barring the final unlockable attack in her ground combo which is a palm strike. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the sequel, where she can fight exclusively with punches and palm strikes while in [[MightyGlacier Jupiter Mode]]. |
| 61 | * FatalFlaw: Two-fold; vanity and naivety. She's a bit gullible, and pair that up with an interest in becoming, say, a movie star in a side quest, or flatter her by saying she's cute, and she'll do whatever you want no matter how much it may inconvenience her. This is usually played for humor rather than drama, but it's a constant theme of hers to get wrapped up in a side quest she wouldn't normally do otherwise, purely because someone stroked her ego in the right way or pulled her heartstrings. |
| 62 | * GenkiGirl: She's very energetic most of the time. |
| 63 | * GivenNameReveal: [[spoiler:The Shining Girl reveals Kat's true name to be Alua.]] |
| 64 | %%* GlowingEyes: Green ones whenever she shifts gravity. |
| 65 | * GrowlingGut: |
| 66 | ** In ''The Animation - Overture'', after getting caught up in a brawl with a swarm of Nevi, her stomach growls when she gets exhausted fighting them alone until Raven and Syd help her |
| 67 | ** At the beginning of ''2'', Kat's stomach growls ''loudly'' twice due to how exhausted she and Syd are after mining Gravity Ore in Banga Village. |
| 68 | * GravityMaster: Her main ability, and what her moves are designed around. |
| 69 | * GroundPound: Her Quick Kick and Aerial Quick Kick (both Down+Square as usual). |
| 70 | ** The Jupiter style's Surge Kick takes this even further when [[ChargedAttack fully charged]], creating a large explosion when it hits a surface. |
| 71 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has light-blonde hair and is ''very'' sweet. |
| 72 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She uses her power to create a singularity within the gravity storm below to stop it from destroying the World Pillar at the cost of being trapped there herself]]. [[spoiler:Though it's hinted at the end she had grown strong enough to not be trapped in her own singularity and returns a year later Hekseville time, similar to when she shortly visited the sea of darkness in the first game.]] |
| 73 | * HighlyConspicuousUniform: Her Sea Cat uniform: Its normal color is pink. |
| 74 | * HomelessHero: She lives in a pipe in the sewers. Her situation isn't much better in the sequel, where she's stuck sleeping in the coop with all the ducks at Banga. |
| 75 | * IdleAnimation: When she's home, she'll rest in her bed doing different animations. |
| 76 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. She has no idea why she's been given her powers and she entertains the fantasy of being a normal high-school girl with a normal boyfriend, but she otherwise doesn't complain about her powers and chooses to go on saving the day without really worrying too much about it. |
| 77 | * {{Kiai}}: Her attacks are accompanied by ''lots'' of shouting. |
| 78 | * KickChick: Her non-gravity-based attacks are simply kicks, though, in her longer combo chains, she adds in a few punches and a palmstrike. |
| 79 | * KickingAssInAllHerFinery: She gets to put on an elegant jazz-singer dress in the sequel, and is just as deadly as ever. |
| 80 | * KindheartedCatLover: Most of her on-screen actions have her interacting with Dusty. |
| 81 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: The only thing she remembers at the beginning of the game was that "there was another way." Just those words and nothing more. |
| 82 | * LegFocus: Her main outfit design exposes her legs, invoking this in addition to her being a KickChick in combat. |
| 83 | * LightningBruiser: Fast, strong, durable, and incredibly agile even without her shifting powers. In the sequel, she can become somewhat of a MightyGlacier via "Jupiter Mode", sacrificing some of her speed for even more power. |
| 84 | %%* LeotardOfPower: The main costume. |
| 85 | * LittleMissSnarker: Her thoughts of the world show her snarkiest side. |
| 86 | * MadeOfIron: Kat's powers are not of her own, they're a result of Dusty, so she is relatively normal. Despite that, Kat can fall from extremely great heights without taking any damage at all; and it takes multiple hits from Nevi opponents to cut into her health meter significantly. She can even walk on lava as long as she doesn't do it for too long. |
| 87 | * MagicSkirt: Thoroughly averted for her outfits that have one, though she's wearing tights underneath. |
| 88 | * {{Mascot}}: Due to her sheer cuteness and popularity, she officially became one for the Platform/PlayStationVita. |
| 89 | * MilitarySuperhero: Her Sea Cat uniform is from when she enlisted in her original game (in a DLC storyline), though she ends up leaving it shortly after. |
| 90 | * MindOverMatter: Stasis Field, but unlike certain gravity guns it averts TractorBeam; instead, it works in a certain radius. |
| 91 | %%* {{Meido}}: One of the other alternate costumes she has. |
| 92 | * MsFanservice: She's very attractive and has several revealing outfits. |
| 93 | ** In the first game, she can wear outfits like [[{{Meido}} maid uniforms]] and [[SpyCatsuit spy outfits]] and feels the need to lounge and stretch out on her bed whenever you return home. It's also shown numerous times throughout the game that she sleeps in the nude, and there are a few times when she's wearing nothing but a ModestyTowel... which falls off in one scene, giving Syd a nice view. |
| 94 | ** She also gets more sexy outfits in the second game, including midriff-exposing outfits. |
| 95 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: An unusually strong yet petite teenage girl who can inexplicably kick {{Eldritch Abomination}}s to death and send people flying with her attacks. |
| 96 | * MysteriousPast: For the majority of the first game, nothing is made clear about Kat's past aside from being a form of royalty from wherever she came from. [[spoiler: The second game reveals she was a queen of the kingdom at the top of the World Pillar but fell (literally) from grace due to an assassination attempt, resulting in her achieving her guardian but losing her memory]]. |
| 97 | * NavelDeepNeckline: Her [[SpyCatsuit spy costume]] features this, which is lampshaded shortly after it's acquired. Which is funny considering her ACupAngst. |
| 98 | --> '''#1 Fan:''' Wait 'til I tell my friends I saw ''the'' Gravity Queen, and ''so much'' of the Gravity Queen! |
| 99 | * NiceGirl: Even with no memories of who she was in her past life, she immediately uses her powers to become a hero when she first awakens and generally goes out of her way to help anyone who asks. And it turns out she was like this before she lost her memory as well. This got her in trouble with [[spoiler:the people of Eto, who didn't want her to help the people below her kingdom]]. |
| 100 | * NoNameGiven: Until Syd names her Kat. [[spoiler:Until her GivenNameReveal in the sequel is Queen Aula.]] |
| 101 | * NotQuiteFlight: While it might look like she can fly, technically she is just changing or "Shifting" how gravity works on her. She is just falling up or sideways and changing how much gravity is pulling on her to control the speed. Anyone unlucky enough to be around her when she does this will feel the same pull. |
| 102 | * OneWomanArmy: Her gravity-shifting abilities make it easy for Kat to take on scores of {{Mooks}} without any problems. But even without them, she's still very formidable, as demonstrated in one side quest where she takes on a hundred of Fi's students using only her basic kicks and ''still'' wins. |
| 103 | * PerpetualPoverty: She spends both games homeless and flat broke. And whenever it looks like she's about to be compensated for her services, ''something'' always happens to ensure she doesn't get her pay. The one time she got a paycheck (from her job as Melda's maid), Kat gave it all to a young girl she ran into so the child could buy medicine for her sick mother, and she was only taking the job to pay off [[UngratefulBastard Aiken and Eugie]] for [[WhyCouldntYouSaveThem "destroying" their house]]. |
| 104 | * PluckyGirl: Despite wandering around a city she knows nothing about, her home being a large pipe in the lower levels of the city, the city being in constant danger from Nevi attacks and gravity storms and the fact that she doesn't even ''remember her own name'', Kat is still a friendly, energetic girl who somehow maintains a positive outlook. |
| 105 | * PrecisionFStrike: Yes, this adorable, sweet girl is the ''only'' character in the series to swear. |
| 106 | ** In the original game on Episode 4: The Hekseville Phantom, when she gets spotted by the police, she blurs out "crap". For some reason, this was changed to "damn" in the [=PS4=] remaster. |
| 107 | %%* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Both her schoolgirl and {{Meido}} outfits. |
| 108 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: {{Averted|Trope}}. She's probably the nicest character in the series, but mind you she can get dangerous whenever someone is harmed. |
| 109 | %%* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Raven's Blue. ColorCodedForYourConvenience. |
| 110 | * RepressedMemories: Hinted at in the first and confirmed in the second. It turns out that [[spoiler:Kat abandoned her memories as she fell because of the trauma of failing to help Hekseville and seeing Syd die for her sake.]] |
| 111 | %%* ReverseShrapnel: The main point of the Stasis Field. |
| 112 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: [[spoiler:Well, she made the effort to try and be this, but didn't quite make it. In her past life when she was Alua, Queen of Eto. She was trying to save people lower on the World Pillar, but got blocked by the Eto Council]]. |
| 113 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: Wears one as part of her main costume. Serves as a gameplay aid, as it will always point to the true "down" direction regardless of where the player is standing so you can reorient yourself. Even if her current outfit doesn't have a scarf, there's always something (hair or clothing) to let you do the same thing. |
| 114 | * SheCleansUpNicely: She is by no means unattractive, but whenever choosing a special outfit for her, she turns out even ''more'' good-looking. |
| 115 | ** For example, ''[[VideoGame/GravityRush2 2]]'' shows Kat in a red evening dress and with her hair done up, singing marvelously on a stage. [[spoiler:And then there's her outfit as Queen of Eto.]] |
| 116 | * SlideAttack: Gravity Slide: Running into an enemy with it will cause Kat to give them a fierce kick. |
| 117 | * SpyCatsuit: She can wear one as an alt-costume. |
| 118 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She ''savagely'' rips apart Yunica's insistence on unceasingly following orders, practically accusing her of being a mindless drone in service of a police state and an ObviouslyEvil dictator. Yunica doesn't take it too well, but can't argue with Kat's logic. |
| 119 | %%* TransformationSequence: Her CoupDeGraceCutscene involves this trope. |
| 120 | %%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She is the latter while Raven is the former, but most of the time she is rebellious. |
| 121 | * TookALevelInBadass: Kat steadily grows in power throughout the first game. When first confronted by Raven, Kat gets curb-stomped hard. But later, she's capable of holding her own against the more experienced Gravity Shifters after spending a couple of days fixing Hekseville. |
| 122 | * TurnsRed: Her skin whenever she uses her powers. |
| 123 | * UnrealisticBlackHole: The last special attack she earns is this. |
| 124 | * VagueAge: Well, she would appear to be a teenager and she certainly acts like one, but due to her MysteriousPast it's impossible to know how old she is. She ''does'' mention she can't drink, putting her age below 20 at least. [[spoiler:According to the Gravity Rush 2 Complete Guide, Kat is 17 years old.]] |
| 125 | * VaporWear: WordOfGod states Kat does not wear anything underneath her default outfit. [[spoiler:This is justified by the implication that the leotard itself was her underwear during her time as queen of Eto]]. But whether or not this trope applies to her other outfits is left ambiguous. |
| 126 | * VolcanicVeins: Whenever she uses her gravity-shifting powers, she gets glowing red veins in her arms, legs, and face. |
| 127 | * WaifFu: According to her character bio in ''[[VideoGame/HotShotsGolf Everybody's Golf 6]]'' she is 160cm (5'3) tall. |
| 128 | * WallCrawl: More like defying gravity to walk along surfaces. |
| 129 | * WolverinePublicity: Kat was often played up as the face of the Vita, and Sony made sure to let her appear in plenty of Vita titles. Along with the aforementioned playable appearance in ''VideoGame/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuUlSarc9HQ&t=1m25s she can be seen here]] playable in ''VideoGame/RagnarokOdyssey Ace'' along with Alias (and the Sorcerer from ''VideoGame/SoulSacrifice''). Following in the footsteps of [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal Sweet Tooth]], Franchise/{{Ratchet|AndClank}}, and [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]], she was made a playable golfer in ''VideoGame/HotShotsGolf 6/World Invitation'' as well as a Sack costume in ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet'' (in line with other mascots like the [[VideoGame/ApeEscape Pipo Monkeys]], the VideoGame/{{Patapon}}, and the VideoGame/LocoRoco). Kat was also added as a summonable spirit in the free-to-play Vita game ''Destiny of Spirits'', and finally, [[http://www.siliconera.com/2013/04/25/gravity-rush-characters-cross-into-vita-beat-em-up-rpg-picotto-knights/ Kat is playable]] Cocoroids in the Japan-only dungeon brawler ''Picotto Knights'' (a game whose servers have since been shut down). |
| 130 | * WreakingHavok: In the sequel, Kat's new Stasis Field ability lets her pick up environmental pieces and chuck them at enemies to deal damage. |
| 131 | %%* YouWillNotEvadeMe: See UnrealisticBlackHole. |

| 137 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SayakaKinoshita |
| 138 | |
| 139 | She is a mysterious and extremely strong girl who, like Kat, is a shifter. Originally antagonistic towards Kat, she eventually becomes an ally as her motives are revealed. She has a crow named Xii, who mirrors Dusty's ability to grant her gravity powers. |
| 140 | ---- |
| 141 | * ActionGirl: A strong shifter, but she relies on skill more than raw strength like Kat. |
| 142 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: {{Zigzagged|Trope}} in regard to Kat. On one hand, she knows a few tricks that Kat doesn't, such as being able to generate her own stasis field projectiles instead of needing nearby objects to manipulate, and during one Side Quest in the second game, she upstages Kat in both gem mining and Nevi hunting without even really trying. On the other hand though, whenever the two have actually fought (barring their [[CurbStompBattle first fight]] when Kat was still a novice and Raven attacked without warning), Kat has handily beaten Raven without fail. |
| 143 | * AmbiguouslyGay: There's a lot of subtext between Raven and Kat in the sequel. Once they reunite, Raven, herself a changed person since she last met Kat, shows a particular fondness for Kat that borders on, if not outright becomes explicit ShipTease. She shares a bed with Kat, snuggles up to her, and admits she missed having her around in Episode 7. In a side quest, Kat keeps losing to Raven in a mining competition, and Raven, seeing how hard Kat was taking the whole thing, suggests a final contest with winner takes all stakes, to see who can wipe out the most Nevi. She lies about coming up one kill short. When her crow gives her a suspicious look, Raven says "What do you mean it's out of character for me? What matters is that she's smiling again. That's more important than any competition." Where this really sticks is at the very end of the game; as much as she tries to hide it, [[spoiler:Raven took Kat's HeroicSacrifice the hardest. Raven outright says losing Kat is like having "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything half of who you are]] torn away from you." Her utter joy at Kat's survival adds to it as well.]] |
| 144 | * AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: After spending the entire second game as an AI-controlled ally, you finally get to play as Raven herself, twice, first against [[spoiler:Elektricitie]] in Episode 24 and again in the PlayableEpilogue. |
| 145 | * AnimalMotifs: Ravens of course. She's [[CleverCrows clever and intelligent]], but also somber and aloof. |
| 146 | * BackToBackBadasses: Frequently with Kat in the sequel after she's [[spoiler:freed of the Para Lhao Garrison's brainwashing.]] |
| 147 | * BadassAdorable: Just like Kat, she is a very cute girl who is also an extremely strong GravityMaster. |
| 148 | * BigDamnHeroes: Shows up at the last boss battle and, along with Yunica, helps Kat fight the Sea Anemone. |
| 149 | * BigEater: Shown to be this in the anime (where Kat mentions Raven eats ''ten times'' as much junk food as her) and it becomes a RunningGag in the sequel. The first thing she does [[spoiler: after being broken out of her brainwashing by the Council]]? Dive into Lisa's meal she prepared for the whole group and eat ''all of it''. In a side quest called "Together, So Strange," Raven suddenly and inexplicably appears as soon as Misai and Kat ''mention the word'' "food." In another side quest, Raven suddenly appears and tries to derail Kat from delivering a cake to its contractor, acting like a crazed addict and threatening the man to give the rare cake to her. |
| 150 | * BlueIsHeroic: Averted in the first game, where she's TheRival to Kat, and plenty fond of [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown pummeling the girl while she's defenseless]]. Is played straight in the sequel, where she is firmly an ally to Kat. |
| 151 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:How Kat encounters her again in the second game, having had this done to her by the Garrison of Jirga Para Lhao. Thankfully, Kat breaks the iron mask and frees her from the brainwashing.]] |
| 152 | * BroadStrokes: She chose to erase [[spoiler:her memory as Sachya and overwrite existence such that the bus that caused the children to fall to Boutoume never happened. But dialogue indicates many things stayed roughly the same. Kat and Raven still started off on hostile terms, they still fought to the bottom of the World Pillar, and they still had a misunderstanding at the root of their rivalry given D'Nelica's machinations. However, because of the change in history, they became allies much quicker and easier than in the previous timeline in the first game.]] |
| 153 | * CharacterDevelopment: Related to DefrostingIceQueen, the Raven at the beginning of [[VideoGame/GravityRush the original]] is almost a completely different character by [[VideoGame/GravityRush2 the sequel]]. Starting off as a cold and ruthless antagonist, then as a begrudging ally, Raven eventually befriends Kat after getting the children out of Boutoume. In Overture, Raven is more willing to hang out and relax with Kat, but maintains her brooding and aloof demeanor, while Kat often tried cheering her up. After becoming separated for months on end, and needing to be saved by her once they reunite, Raven admits she missed Kat and was glad to see her again. From then on, Raven becomes every bit as playful, fun-loving, and humorous as her fellow Gravity Queen. |
| 154 | * CombatStilettos: Like Kat, she has no problem fighting in heels. |
| 155 | * CreepyBlueEyes: The icy blue irises emphasize her cold nature. [[SubvertedTrope She loses the creepy and cold side once she becomes an ally to Kat.]] |
| 156 | * CuteBruiser: Same as Kat, don't let her beautiful looks fool you as she is also a very skilled GravityMaster. |
| 157 | * TheCutie: Subverted. She is no doubt beautiful, but was a very cute and naive girl as shown in the sequel's DLC, until she lost her sweetness when she splits up from the Lost Children. But in the sequel, you can't deny that [[WhenSheSmiles her adorable smile and relief]] made you light up when [[spoiler:Kat returns to Hekesville after her presumed disappearance in the end of the final fight.]] |
| 158 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:After managing to somehow leave Boutoume to arrive to Hekseville, she's found alone in the city, isolated from society. Then a strange crow appears, giving her gravity-shifting powers.]] |
| 159 | * DefrostingIceQueen: A surprisingly JustifiedTrope. She was cold, aloof, standoffish, and abrasive to Kat because she thought Kat was endangering her kids by helping Mayor Bolsey against Alderman D'Nelica. Even after teaming up against Nushi, Raven still kept Kat at arm's length. That all changed once Kat activated the Ark and saved the children personally, in ways Raven never could. After clearing the air around their misunderstanding, Raven reconciles with Kat, and from then on, becomes much friendlier and kinder in general. |
| 160 | * DeadpanSnarker: Just like Kat, Raven is known for her dry wit and occasional sarcasm, which she usually directs at Kat. A prime example happens when they go up the World Pillar in the sequel. Raven admits it "wouldn't have made a fun solo journey." When Kat noted "It sounds like you're happy we're traveling together," Raven playfully quips "Maybe I just got used to all your talking." |
| 161 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Her relationship with Kat plays a central role in both games, her past is intimately tied to the main plot of the first game, she's the only other playable character in the series, and just like Kat, her very nature is itself an anomaly that forces the world to react to her presence (according to the Creators themselves). This becomes even more so once Bit reveals [[spoiler:Raven and Kat were originally meant to be the same being, but something happened and their souls were born into different people instead.]] She even gets her very own DLC in the sequel, and remains the single most prominently featured ally in the sequel for Kat. |
| 162 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: The [[RavenHairIvorySkin dark hair and ivory skin]] give her a more mysterious and sinister vibe. It also emphasizes her as a {{Foil}} to Kat's dark-skinned blonde. Similar to CreepyBlueEyes, Raven ditches the sinister vibe after becoming an ally to Kat. |
| 163 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Raven seems to have gathered an enthusiastic fan club of girls who {{Squee}} when she goes by [[spoiler: during the time Kat is missing at the end of the sequel.]] |
| 164 | * {{Expy}}: |
| 165 | ** Her character design of [[spoiler: her younger self in "Raven's Choice"]] is an striking resemblance of [[VideoGame/SilentHill1 Alessa Gillespie]], which is interesting because she from the game that has the same director. |
| 166 | ** As noted by [[WebVideo/BrainScratchCommentaries Ryan of BrainScratchComms]], Raven shares similarities to [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Shadow]], both have a Red and Black color scheme, both have a connection to an Ark, both start out as rivals to the hero, both have tragic backstories, and ultimately become protagonists. |
| 167 | * GoodAllAlong: While an antagonist, and certainly ruthless at first, Raven was never truly evil, and doesn't even slip into WellIntentionedExtremist territory either. She was just trying to save her kids from certain doom, and only went along with Alderman D'Nelica's plan, which she barely knew about, out of desperation since he promised to help her save the children. Once she sees Kat protecting her kids from the Nevi and Nushi, she immediately offers to help her fellow Gravity Shifter by getting her to lure Nushi into few traps. Once the Ark is activated and the children are saved, Raven and Kat reconcile. |
| 168 | * GravityMaster: She's the only other Gravity Shifter in the series, and dialogue from the first game's prologue confirms she was the first Shifter to ever show up in Hekseville. But unlike Kat, she focuses on skill and speed rather than raw strength, so her move-set is different from the famous Gravity Queen. Raven's Gravity Kick is rapid-fire instead of single-shot like Kat. She can generate blue spheres to throw at her enemies, so she doesn't need an existing environment (but gameplay-wise, will resort to it if her gravity meter runs out). Finally, and most notably, her special attack involves lunging her arm and clenching her fingers; every enemy caught in the area of her choosing is disintegrated without fail, as she's used gravitational forces along precise lines to ''cut them apart''. |
| 169 | * HappilyAdopted: Turns out she's [[spoiler:not related to Zaza by blood. She was found and raised by Zaza's parents, who treated her as their own. This was our first clue to realizing that Raven, as Bit revealed, was never meant to be born as Sachya.]] |
| 170 | %%* HairFlip: Raven's idle animation has her doing this a lot. |
| 171 | * HeelFaceTurn: Turns out, the entire reason for Raven's rivalry with Kat came from a serious misunderstanding, one they eventually patched up after a while. Kat was trying to reunite all five parts of the city of Hekseville and couldn't understand why Raven wanted to keep it separated. Raven was told by Alderman D'Nelica that he would help free the children from Boutoume if she kept Hekseville separated, so when she sees Kat doing the opposite, Raven sees it as a threat to her kids' survival. They fight thrice (first encounter was a cutscene and a curb stomp in favor of Raven), before Nushi outright forces them to work together to save the children. Raven was initially still cold and standoffish to Kat, and only relented once Kat activated the Ark and helped the kids leave Boutoume. Only after all that does Raven admit she misunderstood Kat, and from then on, they reconcile, eventually becoming best friends by the sequel. |
| 172 | * HotBlooded: She's quite temperamental and reckless, with an added dose of impulsiveness and a love for adventure similar to Kat. She may be calm, but she ''is not'' stoic. |
| 173 | * {{Hypocrite}}: To a humorous degree in the anime short. When Kat and Raven head over to Neu Hiraleon, Raven says she'd rather be fighting over eating junk food any day, prompting Kat to point out she had ''just eaten'' a plate of pretzels and a bag of chips just a few minutes earlier. Let alone her love of ice cream and cookies. Raven can't really argue her point and tries to change the subject instead. |
| 174 | * HeroAntagonist: [[spoiler: Everything she did in the first game was to rescue her adoptive brother Zaza and the children stranded in Boutoume. She ditches the antagonist part and becomes a straight-up hero after allying with Kat towards the end of the first game.]] |
| 175 | * IcyBlueEyes: She has cyan eyes and [[spoiler: lost her innocence as revealed in the Raven's choice when she was young.]] |
| 176 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's ruthless and willing to kill to accomplish her goal, said goal being to save her brother Zaza and the children stranded at the bottom of the World Pillar. She completely drops the Jerk part by the sequel after reconciling and bonding with Kat. |
| 177 | * TheLancer: Serves as Kat's partner throughout the second game. |
| 178 | * KickChick: Much like Kat, her melee attacks mainly consist of kicks. She'll use her hands in normal combat, but otherwise prefers her legs, and in a contrast to Kat, Raven prefers to unleash a barrage of kicks at once on her enemies. |
| 179 | * KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Raven believes in this strategy wholeheartedly, and Kat learnt this the hard way. |
| 180 | * MindOverMatter: Capable of throwing people several meters away [[spoiler: and destroying rocks to crush Nushi's core by just touching them]]. |
| 181 | * MirrorBoss: She has the same powers and mostly similar attacks as Kat. The first battle against her even ends with them doing the same finishing move against each other. |
| 182 | * MirrorCharacter: |
| 183 | ** Raven and Kat are both gravity-shifting kickers with a big appetite, an even bigger heart of gold, and serious devotion to the people they care about, who both like to tease their friends, snark like it's going out of style, and as Raven herself noted, possess a drive to protect those precious to them no matter what the world tells them. Raven realizing the last point even helped them reconcile in the first game. |
| 184 | ** The sequel reveals that this isn't a simple coincidence. [[spoiler: Bit revealed, both in the DLC and in the main story, that Kat and Raven were supposed to be the same being, with potentially the same Guardian (as Dusty and Xii could merge into a griffon). That didn't work and they ended up as two different women who are almost complete {{Foil}}s to one another, but those similarities, including their fighting styles, still remain.]] |
| 185 | * MsFanservice: Her beautiful looks and revealing outfit explains it all. |
| 186 | * NoodleIncident: When Bit appears before Raven, Raven appears to recognize him but doesn't elaborate when they met. [[spoiler:Raven's Choice reveals Bit played a large role guiding her during the DLC.]] |
| 187 | * PaperThinDisguise: Averted. [[spoiler:When the "Night Gale" attacks her, Kat clearly recognizes her as Raven wearing an iron mask. This mask was broken, freeing Raven from the Garrison's control.]] |
| 188 | * RavenHairIvorySkin: To contrast Kat, she has black hair and pale skin, but with a twist: half of her hair is actually red. |
| 189 | %%* {{Roofhopping}}: In her introduction cutscene. |
| 190 | %%* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Kat's Red. |
| 191 | * RetGone: [[spoiler:In the Raven's Choice, Raven chooses to erase 'Sachya' from history to prevent the bus accident and save Zaza and the children inside the ark.]] |
| 192 | * RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler: Though Raven forgot about her time as Sachya, she's still deeply affected by meeting Zaza's grandchildren and she remembers Bit.]] |
| 193 | * RivalsTeamUp: Averted by the sequel. The ending of her DLC shows that [[spoiler:history was rewritten between the games; Raven deleted her existence as Sachya to save Zaza and the kids from the Ark, preventing the bus from having the accident in the first place. Since the plight of the children was central to the misunderstanding that caused Kat and Raven to have a rivalry in the first place, this change to history likely means that they became allies and friends much faster than they did in the events of Gravity Rush 1.]] |
| 194 | * SayMyName: With a smile on her face, Raven says Kat's name at the very end of the second game, showing that [[spoiler:Kat returned to Hekseville after her HeroicSacrifice.]] |
| 195 | * StepfordSmiler: During the sequel's PlayableEpilogue, [[spoiler:Raven is calm and professional in public, but whenever the topic switches to Kat, her smile drops instantly. Instead of hiding behind a smile, she hides behind an insistence that she's moved on, even when she clearly hasn't, as she grows desperate once she hears a cat meowing (albeit she kicks herself for getting her hopes up when she knows it's not Dusty). Misai calls her out on it, and Raven's professionalism completely drops once she has a chance for her to mourn.]] |
| 196 | * {{Stripperific}}: Let's see... her outfit shows off her cleavage, her [[MurderousThighs thighs]], her [[SexyBacklessOutfit back]], and her midriff. She honestly looks more like a stripper than a superheroine. |
| 197 | * TookALevelInKindness: She goes from an antagonistic, aloof enemy to a selfless protector of Hekseville and Kat's inseparable best friend. In one mission, during an ore-mining contest, she even obfuscates her own competency just to see Kat smiling again. |
| 198 | * TattooedCrook: She has a sun-shaped tattoo in her chest, she is somewhat a crook in the original, but lost all of her ruthlessness in the sequel. |
| 199 | %%* TroubledButCute: See UsedToBeASweetKid. |
| 200 | * UndyingLoyalty: She will do anything to save Zaza and the children. In the DLC, Bit even asks "What will you sacrifice to save them?" Raven replies, "Everything." |
| 201 | ** By the sequel, this level of devotion extends to Kat herself, as Raven will similarly never lose faith or trust in her best friend and partner. Even if it means [[spoiler:fighting a demigod like Elektricitie, knowing it may end in her death, just after getting released from a prison that already took its physical toll on her]], she will do it. This is especially shown by the PlayableEpilogue, as Raven is [[spoiler:the most grief-stricken at Kat's disappearance]] despite trying to hide it in public. |
| 202 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: Sachya was a timid but friendly child, but growing up isolated from everyone she knew and loved made her hard and cold.]] |
| 203 | * UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:To D'Nelica. He told her he would send a rescue mission for the children in Boutoume if she helped him prevent the return of the lost parts of Hekseville. [[LittleDidIKnow Little did she know]] that it was part of his plan to consolidate his power and turn Hekseville into a police state.]] |
| 204 | ** [[spoiler:Averted in the second game with the Jirga Para Lhao Garrison by virtue of them just brainwashing her]]. |
| 205 | * VagueAge: Compare to Kat who looks like a teenager, Raven's age is also ambiguous due to her mature physique. [[spoiler: According to the ''Gravity Rush 2 Complete Guide'', Raven is 18 years old, a year older than Kat.]] |

| 208 | [[folder: Syd]] |
| 209 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GoShinomiya |
| 210 | [[quoteright:232:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/syd_gr.png]] |
| 211 | A police officer Kat rescues. They become quick friends and Syd even gives Kat her name. |
| 212 | ---- |
| 213 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Twice. Bit first resurrected Syd after he was stabbed by Xicero while trying to save Alua/Kat, after being moved by the strength of Syd's desire to protect his queen. Later, after Syd's second death on the Bismalia, Bit sacrificed his existence to bring him back to help Kat in the final battle.]] |
| 214 | * BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:The reason Syd created his Alias persona. He knew that Kat would always want to protect people, and he also knew that Shifters were so disliked in Hekseville that the people would need a reason to accept her as their hero. Therefore, he became a supervillain for her to fight. And this was all done to prepare her to face [[GreaterScopeVillain the darkness at the bottom of the pillar]], which is the true antagonist of both games.]] |
| 215 | * BigDamnHeroes: Rescues Kat when Yunica captures her just before the final battle in ''Gravity Rush 1''. |
| 216 | ** Again at the beginning of ''Gravity Rush 2'', when he ignores Lisa's orders and steals her hoverbike to go distract the giant Nevi that is about to attack Kat and Cecie. |
| 217 | ** One more time at the end of the game when he [[spoiler:summons an army of Nevi to aid Kat against the Darkness.]] |
| 218 | ** [[spoiler:Tragically subverted in Kat's final flashback. Syd managed to pull off what was almost a BigDamnHeroes moment by discovering Xicero's coup attempt and catching Queen Alua's hand just before she could fall. However a moment later he was fatally stabbed in the back, forcing him to let go.]] |
| 219 | * BrilliantButLazy: Gifted with electronics, ranging from fixing gear to building a robotic hand for children to play with. Yet he still fakes injuries and foists tasks off on Kat to get out of work. |
| 220 | ** [[spoiler:Subverted after TheReveal. It turns out that Syd was working behind the scenes to protect Kat and help her fulfill her potential. The affectation of laziness was part of his disguise.]] |
| 221 | * CostumeEvolution: To an almost ridiculous degree. In the first game he has three distinct outfits (the cop uniform, the detective outfit, and the military uniform at the end). In the second, he ditches the overcoat and jacket from his detective uniform to make it more casual. |
| 222 | ** [[spoiler:The [[SharpDressedMan pinstripe suit]] he wears as Alias is yet another costume, and he keeps it on for the epilogue after he is brought back to life during the second game's climax.]] |
| 223 | * FriendOnTheForce: Played with, in that it's mostly Syd who benefits from his friendship with Kat. Though helping the police does up Kat's reputation. |
| 224 | ** [[spoiler:The second game reveals that this, along with his identity as Alias, was all part of Syd's intricate BatmanGambit to establish Kat as the hero of Hekseville.]] |
| 225 | * GenreSavvy: Syd frequently compares Kat's exploits to superhero stories, commenting upon meeting her that "This is like the start of one of those great suspense novels!" He also enjoys calling her [[SuperheroSobriquets "Gravity Queen"]] or, while she was undercover as a criminal during the spy mission, [[Franchise/{{Batman}} "Dark Cat"]]. [[spoiler:This foreshadows the reveal that he was Alias the whole time. Only someone well-versed in the conventions of superhero stories would've known that Kat, as a budding hero, needed her own [[ArchEnemy supervillain]] in order to establish her reputation.]] |
| 226 | * GuileHero: Syd doesn't have superpowers like Kat and Raven, but he has the uncanny ability of knowing how be in the right place at the right time, often with some sort of plan of action. |
| 227 | ** [[spoiler:During the Eto chapter one of the courtiers says that there was only one man who had ever surpassed Xicero's intelligence and political skills - his best friend who [[NeverFoundTheBody died 100 years ago under mysterious circumstances]].]] |
| 228 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:'''Three times'''. 100 years ago in Eto, Syd tried to save Kat/Alua from an assassination attempt by Xicero, only to get stabbed in the back and killed in the process. Syd also stayed on the Bismalia while Kat and Raven entered the possessed Neu Hiraleon so that he could fire the main guns and open a path for them. Later on in the level, you see the ghost city devour the Bismalia, resulting in Syd dying a second time. Finally, while possessing a robotic Alias body, Syd puts himself between Xicero and Wolp, resulting in the robot body’s destruction. He manages to [[BackFromTheDead come back]] every time though.]] |
| 229 | * {{Motormouth}}: A subtle example, but whenever Syd gets excited during comic cutscenes he has the tendency to fill the screen with speech bubbles, showing that he's talking very quickly. |
| 230 | * MysticalWhiteHair: Subverted. Syd has white hair, which is unusual in Hekseville, but he seems to be as far from mystical as you can get. |
| 231 | ** [[spoiler:Double subverted. Turns out this was {{foreshadowing}} all along that Syd, like Kat, wasn't from Hekseville at all. At the end of ''Gravity Rush 2'' you discover that the people of [[AdvancedAncientHumans Eto]] are all dark-skinned blondes, and that white hair is actually quite common there.]] |
| 232 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: Is much more skilled and knowledgeable than he lets on. Though he generally acts like an affable airhead, whenever Kat's in trouble Syd shows a much more serious, competent side of himself. |
| 233 | * OneHeadTaller: Syd is exactly one head taller than Kat, and according to the official height chart is one of the tallest characters in the game period, at around 180cm. |
| 234 | * PluckyComicRelief: Syd's antics often serve to lighten the mood. [[spoiler:When he vanishes at the beginning of the Hekseville arc in ''Gravity Rush 2'' the story gets very serious, very fast]]. |
| 235 | * RealMenWearPink: Syd seems to have a pretty varied skillset, which includes both [[TextileWorkIsFeminine sewing]] and [[FeminineWomenCanCook candymaking]]. |
| 236 | ** In [[VideoGame/GravityRush the original]], he made two identical Sacred Gem lookalikes entirely out of candy. |
| 237 | ** He also "whipped up" a form-fitting catsuit plus cat-eared helmet to serve as Kat's disguise during the spy missions in the first game. |
| 238 | ** Early in [[VideoGame/GravityRush2 the sequel]], he fixes Kat's iconic outfit, after it had been damaged between games. |
| 239 | * SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler: A secret secret secret-keeper, even. He is the only one other than the gods who knows Kat's past, which Kat herself can't even remember.]] |
| 240 | * SharpDressedMan: [[spoiler:After his resurrection in the sequel, he dresses in his Alias outfit, sans mask.]] |
| 241 | * ShooOutTheClowns: In both games, Syd disappears for a time when the plot starts to get serious. In the first game, Syd isn't around for the Boutome chapters because he didn't go with Kat, and in the second game [[spoiler:he dies near the end of the Jirga Para Lhao chapter, meaning he's absent for the more sinister Hekseville chapter involving Dr Brahman and the Missing Orphans Case.]] |
| 242 | * TwinkleSmile: Gives Kat one of these during the Overture OVA to punctuate his assertion that he's "...the brains, not the brawn." |
| 243 | * UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:100 years ago in Eto, Syd was the only one who believed in Alua and supported her despite her lack of a guardian. After he died trying to protect her, his actions moved the gods enough that they gave him another chance. He then waited for Kat to fall to Hekseville and protected her from behind the scenes for both games, even after he was killed a second time on the Bismalia. Syd really puts the "undying" in UndyingLoyalty.]] |
| 244 | * WalkingSpoiler: He's an extremely important character, but his role was significantly downplayed in both the marketing and the games themselves so as to not spoil TheReveal [[spoiler:that he's much more competent than he seems, and that he knows a lot more about what's going on in the plot than he should.]] |

| 255 | * GetRichQuickScheme: In a sidequest in [[VideoGame/GravityRush2 the sequel]], they had Kat dress up as Kali to lure in customers for their ice cream business. [[spoiler:It falls apart when Kat's discovered as an imposter.]] |
| 256 | * HiddenDepths: Eugie. Despite going along with most of his dad's schemes, he's aware of his dad's flaws, which is part of why he tries getting his dad to give up drinking in a sidequest. In post-game, it reveals he decided to get serious about studying and attend Arquebus Academy to expand his horizons. |
| 257 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Despite the fact they can sell Kat out while she's being chased by the authorities in [[VideoGame/GravityRush2 the sequel]], they're never called on it.]] |
| 258 | * TookALevelInJerkass: They were never pleasant people in the first game, but they're even ''worse'' in the sequel. After seemingly getting over their grudge at the end of ''Gravity Rush'', they go back to acting hostile to Kat for really no reason, and despite her previous heroics, [[spoiler:try to sell her out to the authorities.]] |
| 259 | * UngratefulBastard: Even though Kat saves Eugie's life from a Gravity Storm, Aujean and Eugie both immediately forget this fact when she is unable to save their house as well. [[spoiler: Though they eventually get over it with repeated interactions over the course of the game]]. |
| 260 | ** Repeated in [[VideoGame/GravityRush2 the sequel]]. [[spoiler:When Kat's accused of murdering Addica, they call out to her and state they believe her… right before they call the authorities to arrest Kat.]] |
| 261 | * WhyCouldntYouSaveThem: In the first game, they are so indignant at Kat because while she saved Eugie from a gravity storm, she was unable to do the same for their house, which fell into the abyss below Hekseville. |

| 271 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her [[TheScrooge scrooge-like tendencies]], her services are shown to help many citizens and she does care for Kat. |
| 272 | * ScarsAreForever: Not Aki ''per se''. Her doll, Pandora, loses half her face in a bombing. When seen again in the sequel, the doll is shown to be repaired, but still heavily cracked, implying the shattered pieces were glued back together. |

| 333 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yunika.png]] |
| 334 | A cyborg from the Special Defense Forces that [[spoiler:manages to kill Nushi when it comes to Hekseville]]. She's been watching Kat for some time, and seemingly feels envy of her. |
| 335 | ---- |
| 336 | * ActionGirl: Strong enough to go toe-to-toe with shifters. |
| 337 | %%* ArmCannon: Her main weapon. |
| 338 | * ArtificialLimbs: Best seen after [[spoiler: getting blasted by Electricite in the sequel]]; both of Yunica's legs and her right arm are actually artificial. It's because of these upgrades that she can go toe-to-toe with Gravity Shifters. |
| 339 | * CuteMachines: She is quite attractive for a cyborg. |
| 340 | * DisneyDeath: She uses the last of her strength to expose the Sea Anemone's first core so Kat can damage it, then proceeds to collapse. But, not because she was dead, but to shut down long enough for auto repair to kick in and let her get back to the field a few minutes later. |
| 341 | * GoodIsNotNice: Yunica genuinely wants to protect others, and does work to defend the city, but she can come off as JerkAss to Kat, and can be fairly ruthless. See HeroAntagonist. |
| 342 | * JetPack: She can't shift gravity, so she needs one of these if she wants to be as successful destroying Nevis as a shifter. |
| 343 | * JerkAss: She is dedicated to defending the city, but she makes it very clear she doesn't think much of Kat, and acts as a FairWeatherMentor to Kat during the military DLC. |
| 344 | %%* JustFollowingOrders: It comes from being a second-in-command on the Defense Forces. |
| 345 | * HeroAntagonist: [[spoiler:She gets into a fight with Kat since the latter is working for Brahman, who isn't the kindly gentleman he seems. Happens again during the fight against the Angels; Yunica and Permet have no qualms against killing Cecie, who's possessed by Durga, while Kat and Raven are trying to save her, leading the two duos to square against each other.]] |
| 346 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She is quick to berate Kat for questioning orders she is given, yet Yunica will always do the same thing whenever she's given an order that ''she'' doesn't like. |
| 347 | * LaResistance: [[spoiler:Part of the rebel group in ''Gravity Rush 2''.]] |
| 348 | * MixAndMatchWeapon: It can swap between a JoustingLance and an ArmCannon. |

| 354 | ---- |
| 355 | * BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Is seen commanding the Special Defense Force against the Darkness.]] |
| 356 | * DemotedToExtra: In the original game, he played a sizable supporting role, especially in the Military side missions. In the sequel, he's largely relegated to cameo appearances. |
| 357 | * LaResistance: [[spoiler:Implied to be part of the rebel group in ''Gravity Rush 2''.]] |

| 364 | Yuri's assistant. |
| 365 | ---- |
| 366 | %%* ActionGirl: In the sequel in particular. |
| 367 | * AscendedExtra: A minor character in the first game who only appears in some of the cutscenes from the military DLC, but she has a bigger role in the sequel as Yunica's partner, and also gets some experience on the battlefield. |
| 368 | * ColdSniper: [[spoiler: In the sequel she favors a long-rifle in combat.]] |
| 369 | %%* HeroAntagonist: Along with Yunica in the second game. |
| 370 | * LaResistance: [[spoiler:Part of the rebel group in ''Gravity Rush 2''.]] |
| 371 | %%* NerdGlasses: She wears black glasses so this is justified. |
| 372 | * TookALevelInBadass: Goes from being Yuri's assistant in the first game [[spoiler: to being Yunica's wingwoman in the sequel, having apparently gotten the same cyborg treatment as her.]] |

| 375 | [[folder: Mayor Bolsey]] |
| 376 | [[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mayor_bolsey_2.png]] |
| 377 | The mayor of Hekseville at the start of the original game. After Kat repels an attack by several Nevi and lets Syd take the credit for it he announces the creation of a special police force to fight them. |
| 378 | ---- |
| 379 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: At some point after a Nevi attack he disappeared, but no one seems to know exactly what happened. A rumor suggests that he was murdered, but hasn't been confirmed. |
| 380 | [[/folder]] |
| 381 | |
| 382 | [[folder: Alderman D'nelica]] |
| 383 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dnelica_9.png]] |
| 384 | An alderman running against Bosley. He takes over as mayor sometime [[spoiler: in the year that Kat was missing under the city]] after Bolsey disappears. He makes it very clear that he puts the military first and foremost ahead of anything else. |
| 385 | ---- |
| 386 | %%* BaldOfEvil |
| 387 | * BeardOfEvil: Sports a jet black goatee, and is the closest thing the game has to a BigBad. |
| 388 | * DemotedToExtra: In the sequel, though he's referenced, he doesn't even appear onscreen. |
| 389 | * TheGeneralissimo: Doesn't seem to be a military man himself but is definitely a tyrant and definitely puts the military first. |
| 390 | * MayorPain: A lot about his goals isn't clear, but he had dissenters made to vanish, forced students to take part in military exercises and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking his government refused to let a citizen open an ice cream stand because it might somehow corrupt people]]. |
| 391 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The man could pass for Vladimir Lenin ''very'' easily. |
| 392 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Implied with the sequel. [[spoiler:It's revealed that Alua created a message in a crystal recorder, warning the people below Eto that the Darkness was rising. D'nelica is shown to have her message, at the end of the first game, and in the second game Yurnca reveals D'nelica was the one who ordered the special forces to go underground.]] |

| 394 | |
| 395 | [[folder: Adreaux]] |
| 396 | [[quoteright:335:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adreaux.jpg]] |
| 397 | Some kind of scientist working for D'nelica's government. At first he appears to be a hapless and forgetful scientist desperately needing Kat's help, but later appearances make it clear he's not at all nice. |
| 398 | ---- |
| 399 | * BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler: Is shown controlling several Anemone weapons in the final fight against the Darkness.]] |
| 400 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Seems like a nice enough guy who just wants to do his job while putting up with military demands. At first, that is. |
| 401 | * DemotedToExtra: Only appears for a brief moment in the sequel. |
| 402 | %%* TheDragon: To Mayor D'nelica. |
| 403 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Seems to have pulled one in between games, as he's shown helping to defend Heckseville from Eleckterite's attack with several Anemone weapons.]] |
| 404 | %%* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Set things up so that Dusty would be trapped and used. |
| 405 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: He pretends to be an AbsentMindedProfessor, making Kat do errands and escort him to his bus with the airs of a put-upon inventor, when it was actually one giant ploy designed to analyze Kat's powers with the intent on taking Dusty for military applications. |
| 406 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: He isn't seen during the second game's PlayableEpilogue. Given he was last seen thrown against a wall by the force of the explosions from Elektricitie destroying all his Anemones, and Yunica saying almost everyone survived, it's possible he was killed. Since the final battle was his only appearance, it could also count as him coming BackForTheDead.]] |
| 407 | [[/folder]] |
| 408 | |
| 409 | [[folder: Snakerabbits]] |
| 410 | A gang that Kat meet in Pleajeune whom are led by Kish. |
| 411 | ---- |
| 412 | * IOweYouMyLife: Kat saves them from a group of Nevi which causes them to elect Kat as the new boss. |
| 413 | * TrueCompanions: They treat each other as family always and Kat feels the same as evident when she prevents Chaz and Syd from arresting them. |
| 414 | * WackyRacing: They have a hobby of racing through town inadvertently endangering the lives of civilians. It stops when Kat became their new boss. |
| 415 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They do not appear nor are referenced in ''Gravity Rush 2'' despite a majority of other characters return to meet Kat. The closest indirect reference to them is when Kat wears her [[SpyCatsuit Dark Cat]] costume that she worn to infiltrate the group obtained by a ''Gravity Rush'' [[OldSaveBonus save file.]] |

| 422 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gade_9.png]] |
| 423 | An old man who claims to be the creator of the universe, although he has already lived better days. |
| 424 | ---- |
| 425 | * DemotedToExtra: Serves as a sort of mentor to Kat in the original and helps her bring back missing parts of Hekesville through the Rift Planes. This largely falls off in the sequel. |
| 426 | %%* DivineIntervention: The Creators pull this in the finale of ''Gravity Rush 2'', despite being aware of the price. |
| 427 | %%* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:To help Kat in the final battle of ''Gravity Rush 2''.]] |
| 428 | %%* TheMentor: Serves as this to Kat in the first game. |

| 436 | ---- |
| 437 | %%* CuteAndPsycho |
| 438 | * DivineIntervention: The Creators pull this in the finale of ''Gravity Rush 2'', despite being aware of the price. |
| 439 | * DyingAsYourself: For a given definition of "yourself." When - as noted below - [[spoiler: she makes her HeroicSacrifice, the last thing she says is from her innocent personality, who relays her guardian side's goodbyes as if from a dream, before vanishing in a burst of light.]] |
| 440 | %%* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:To help Kat in the final battle of ''Gravity Rush 2''.]] |
| 441 | * LeaningOnTheFourthWall: the dream sequence seems to talk to the player as much as to Kat, especially at the end. |
| 442 | * MysteriousPast: It's not at all clear how she's able to get to all the places she does or what the other personality is. Even stranger, [[spoiler: the others can't actually remember her being on the bus that fell to Boutoume]]. |
| 443 | * SplitPersonality: Between an innocent child as Cyanea and a guardian who can change the rules of the "dream". |
| 444 | * WalkingSpoiler: it's hard to talk about her without revealing anything about the Dream Guardian. |

| 455 | * RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler: Raven's Choice reveals that Raven chose to RetGone Sachya's existence to prevent the bus accident and save Zaza and the children. In the main game, Bit still refers to Raven as Sachya.]] |

| 462 | A mysterious masked man with a nice pinstripe suit whose identity is never revealed to the player. At least, in the first game. |
| 463 | ---- |
| 464 | * ActuallyADoombot: [[spoiler:''Gravity Rush 2'' suggests that some of the Alias clones from the first game were robots created by Syd. Since Syd dies during the climax of the first chapter of ''2'' and stays like that until the FinalBattle, Alias for most of the Sequel should logically be one as well.]] |
| 465 | * TheBeastmaster: Capable of controlling the Nevi. [[spoiler:''Gravity Rush 2'' reveals he uses a controller to do so.]] |
| 466 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: He seems to have it out for Kat in the first game. [[spoiler: Come the second game, however, and he becomes a mysterious ally who assists you and your friends in saving the day]]. |
| 467 | * CardCarryingVillain: He just revels in his villainy, committing his crimes for no other reason than because he enjoys it. [[spoiler:It makes for a more effective menace for a hero to topple and win the hearts of the people.]] |
| 468 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin / MeaningfulName: Well, he ''is'' an alias for someone. [[spoiler: Who'd have thought it'd turn out to be for Syd?]] |
| 469 | * GreaterScopeVillain: In the original. Despite being a simple thief who is taken care of midway through the story, he seems to know a ''lot'' more of what's going on then most others, making several cryptic comments to Kat (notably, being aware of [[spoiler: Kat's apparent past as a Queen or Princess]]), plus he's the only character shown to have a degree of [[TheBeastmaster control over the Nevi]]. However, in the sequel, [[spoiler:this turns out to be subverted. If anything, Alias was more of a GreaterScopeParagon.]] |
| 470 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:When he appears again in the sequel, he uses his abilities to help Kat rather than hinder or harm her.]] |
| 471 | * LaughingMad: Often appears laughing madly. |
| 472 | %%* MalevolentMaskedMen |
| 473 | * MasterOfDisguise: [[spoiler:Subverted. The first game makes you think that Alias can make himself look like other people, but after TheReveal in the second game you find out that Syd and Alias were the same person the whole time.]] |
| 474 | * MysteriousProtector: Moreso in the second game than the first. Alias is never directly seen for a large portion of Gravity Rush 2, but he helps Kat on multiple occasions. |
| 475 | ** [[spoiler:When Kat is on the run after being framed, she is aided by a strange Grigo with Alias's voice who shows her how to evade the police.]] |
| 476 | ** [[spoiler:Chaz is instructed by that same voice to go to the right place at the right time so he can get the evidence needed to clear Kat's name.]] |
| 477 | ** [[spoiler:Raven turns up in Hekseville just in time to help Kat fight Kali. Afterwards, she says that "A man told me [Kat] needed saving", before showing her how to get out of the limbo she had been trapped in.]] |
| 478 | ** [[spoiler:In the final battle against Kali, Lisa turns up with the Jirga Para Lhao fleet in time to turn the tide. She later tells Kat that a man named Alias showed her how to cross into Hekseville's dimension, and told her to save Kat.]] |
| 479 | %%* NotQuiteDead |
| 480 | %%* SharpDressedMan |
| 481 | * ShoutOut: His character design looks very similar to Friend from ''Manga/TwentiethCenturyBoys''. |
| 482 | * StarterVillain: Serves as the first antagonist for Kat to fight. Defeating him is what starts to earn her widespread respect throughout Hekseville. [[spoiler:Turns out this trope was deliberately invoked by Syd, who created the Alias persona to be the villain that would set Kat off on the path to being a super heroine.]] |
| 483 | * TricksterMentor: [[spoiler: His actions become much more benevolent in ''VideoGame/GravityRush2'', though he still acts in oblique ways.]] |
| 484 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:''Gravity Rush 2'' implies he acted as the villain for Kat's sake.]] |

| 488 | [[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dusty_gr.png]] |
| 489 | A mysterious cat apparently made of some kind of shadow energy that appeared at the same time as Kat. Kat's ability to bend gravity comes from Dusty. |
| 490 | ---- |
| 491 | * BadassAdorable: He's a kitten who has the ability to use gravity and help Kat with it. |
| 492 | * CelestialBody: His body is cat-shaped, but comprised of stars and the night sky. |
| 493 | %%* CuteKitten |
| 494 | * InexplicablyAwesome: The game never gives any clear explanation as to just what exactly he is, or where he came from. He may or may not be [[spoiler:related to the Nevi]], as implied when he [[spoiler:got sick from eating Nevi Killer]], but it's not really explored beyond showing that he's not the only kind of shadow being in the setting. |
| 495 | * IntangibleMan: Intangible cat, sure, but he has no issue phasing through objects in order to keep up with his owner. |
| 496 | %%* LivingShadow: Seemingly. |
| 497 | * LogicalWeakness: For his owner, Kat. He's the source of her powers, and she needs him healthy and near her to do anything involving gravity manipulation. This rears its head a couple of times in the first game, and the second game opens up with Kat being separated from Dusty for an extended length of time; she's essentially a normal girl without Dusty by her side. |
| 498 | %%* RidiculouslyCuteCritter |
| 499 | %%* TeamPet |
| 500 | * VomitIndiscretionShot: [[spoiler: After going through the Mirage Rift, he spits out the Nevi Killer it ate at the beginning of the chapter]]. |

| 504 | [[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zaza_70.png]] |
| 505 | The leader of the tribe of children inhabiting Boutoume. He got separated from his sister Sachya a long time ago and has been keeping the morale in the village high by lying to the other children that they will someday be rescued. |
| 506 | ---- |
| 507 | * AdvertisedExtra: He and the children were seen in the cover art for ''Another Story: The Ark of Time - Raven's Choice'', suggesting that their role will be expanded in the DLC. While they're important plot-wise, they never make a physical appearance and are only seen in flashbacks. |
| 508 | * BigBrotherInstinct: For both Sachya and the children of Boutoume, being the oldest kid of the group. |
| 509 | * CynicismCatalyst: The loss of Sachya is what fully causes him to lose all hope of being rescued. |
| 510 | * KnightInSourArmor: He still looks out for the children in his village and maintains the spirit of optimism to maintain order and morale, even though he himself has given up hope long ago. |
| 511 | * MyGreatestFailure: Losing Sachya was this for him, as it's implied that he's responsible for it. [[spoiler: In ''Another Story: The Ark of Time - Raven's Choice'' DLC, it's revealed that he was the one who sends her to look for food, and the former accidentally got onto a vehicle that took her back to Heksville.]] |
| 512 | * NeverGotToSayGoodbye: PlayedForDrama, as he never got to see Sachya again after the latter was separated from him. In the end, [[spoiler: he loses all of his memories of her due to Raven changing the timeline to prevent the bus crash in Boutoume, with only a memory of an imaginary friend named Sachya]]. |
| 513 | * PutOnABus: At the end of the first game, he and the children are put in a deep sleep inside the ARK after returning to Heksville. |
| 514 | * PromotionToParent: As the oldest of the tribe and no adults around, he had no choice but to step up. |
| 515 | * RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler: Despite Raven [[RetGone erasing Sachya's existence to save him and the children]], he still remembers an imaginary friend named Sachya, whose name he passed onto his granddaughter.]] |
| 516 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's never known what happened to him and the children in the sequel, as they were never shown nor mentioned. [[spoiler: The interquel DLC, ''Another Story: The Ark of Time - Raven's Choice'', reveals what had happened.]] |

| 522 | ---- |
| 523 | * AndIMustScream: An accident left them trapped on separate dimensional plains, shifting in and out of space and time at random and unable to communicate with anyone, even each other. |

| 528 | ** [[spoiler: At the end of Raven's Choice, they're seen together and, presumably, back in the correct dimension.]] |
| 529 | * StarCrossedLovers: Though the two are looking for each other and can hear about one another through Kat, they're trapped on separate planes from one another. |

Despite the military's attempts to control the Nevi, [[EvilIsNotAToy they prove beyond their comprehension to do so]]. The sequel steps it up when a colossal-sized Nevi appears [[spoiler: made up of buildings and islands it has devoured between the Forbidden Lands and Jirga Para Lhao]]. |
