146	* GenderBlenderName: "Herbert" is a very masculine name for a RobotGirl.
147	* OddNameOut: She the only one of the original eight that is not explicitly named a researcher in her boss subtitle. This is, however, an English translation quirk; she is indeed the "Alchemy Researcher" in the Japanese version.

210	----
211	* GratuitousJapanese: In a strange same-language example, she is the only character to have pure Japanese weapon names in the Japanese version.[[note]]Gen-dan Geki and Chou Gen-dan Butou for her Skill and Revenge Magic respectively.[[/note]] The other characters' weapons are in English and rendered through katakana, while their Revenge Magics are flat-out in English.

213	* MasterOfIllusion: Her fighting style. She can create false versions of both herself and her weapon.

233	%%* DashAttack: Lord Attack.
234	* DualWielding: Attacks using two swords.
235	* FacialMarkings: Red marks on her cheeks.

258	* NoodleIncident: The magic accident. It is alluded to a couple of times, but the game never goes into detail about how and why the incident occurred.

276	* {{Expy}}: She bears a good resemblance to Daiyousei from ''Franchise/TouhouProject''. Considering Inside System started out developing ''Touhou'' DoujinSoft, it's not surprising that they managed to slip in an Expy.
