Line #93 Characters/TwinkleSaberNova


1	This is a character sheet for the manga ''Manga/TwinkleSaberNova''.
2
3	A few notes on the terminology:
4
5	* '''Kyokusei''' are the currently strongest fighters among the Misaki students, who demonstrate highest achievements and are therefore exempted from tuition. All of them have [[RedBaron "colorful" titles]] like "Sourai the Blue Lightning" or "Shukou the Scarlet Steel", with the most respected being "[[LawOfChromaticSuperiority Crimson]]". When a Kyokusei graduates from Misaki, he or she must pass their title to a younger student, along with an individual emblem identifying them as such. Normally, each club is allowed to have only one Kyokusei at any time.
6	* '''Hime''' (Japanese for "princess") is a special honorific given to a female student who holds the Crimson Kyokusei title. It isn't held by anyone at the moment because the current Crimson Kyokusei is male. However, he himself compares Hayana to a "Hime".
7	----
8	!Ally of Justice Club
9	The Ally of Justice Club is established by Fujishiro-sensei in chapter 1, in response to the World Domination Club beginning their activities. It is currently based in the School Infirmary #4 ("Minato"), one of the four infirmaries at Misaki, which Fujishiro modified to serve as a club room.
10
11	The Allies of Justice's trump card are the Active Dresses, flashy PoweredArmor suits designed and built by Fujishiro-sensei.
12
13	!!Hayana Suzunari
14	-> High School Sophomore Red
15
16	The protagonist of the story, Hayana is an absolutely [[{{Moe}} adorable little thing]] who is [[BadassAdorable yet to suffer a major defeat]]. She doesn't belong to any club at first (mainly because she doesn't feel interested enough in anything) but readily enlists in Fujishiro-sensei's venture. Her main motivation is to protect the restaurants at Misaki (which is SeriousBusiness) and to have fun.
17
18	Wields the Active Dress-001, ''Twinkle Saber''. Still, in every chapter so far, hints have been dropped that Hayana is not as a simple as she looks: many characters (including herself) displayed awareness that her exceptional combat abilities don't come exclusively (or even mainly) from her PoweredArmor. TheReveal is yet to come, however.
19
20	* BadassAdorable
21	* BigEater: Aoi affectionately nicknames her "Princess Famished" because she really loves her food. When explaining why she resists to WDC taking over a tea house, she quipped: "Do you need a reason to protect something you love?"
22	** To be a bit more accurate: In Chapter one, after ordering and eating everything on the menu, what does she do? Go for seconds.
23	* TheDitz
24	* GenkiGirl
25	* HenshinHero, subverted twice: First, she doesn't actually ''transform'' into Twinkle Saber, she just mundanely puts on her armor. Secondly, the armor does little to conceal her identity, which is used both by her admirers (who form the Hayana Fan Club) and enemies (who conduct background investigations on her).
26	* ImprobableWeaponUser:
27	** Plasma Ribbon: Hayana's primary weapon in the first chapters, designed to simply stun the opponent.
28	** Spinning Hoop: Introduced in chapter 3, this one is used for evading incoming attacks.
29	* InstantFanClub: The Hayana Fan Club is formed by chapter 2.
30	* JumpedAtTheCall
31	* TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential: TheReveal of the true nature of Hayana's powers was narrowly averted in chapter 3, but it is viewed as inevitable by the characters now.
32
33	On a side note, Hayana has been referred to as "Silver Star Hime" by Takei after she defeated him, but the significance of this is yet to be revealed. Also, she and Aoi displayed the apparent ability to communicate telepathically in chapter 3, when attacked by WDC.
34
35	!!Kirise Fujishiro
36	Hayana and Aoi's health and physics teacher, as well as the founder and nominal president of the Ally of Justice Club. Despite her [[LargeHam eccentric mannerism]], she is apparently [[BunnyEarsLawyer very good at what she does]].
37
38	* BunnyEarsLawyer: She is fond of forgetting appointments but can build a fully functional PoweredArmor out of scrap parts.
39	* ClubPresident of the Ally of Justice Club.
40	* HeroicBSOD: Seems to suffer one because of damage to Twinkle Saber in chapter 3 but it's really not it.
41	* LargeHam
42
43	!!Aoi Kyouzuki
44	-> High School Sophomore Red
45
46	Hayana's classmate and best friend, who is slightly {{tsundere}}-ish towards her, in a DeadpanSnarker way. Despite Fujishiro-sensei's sincerest efforts and ''de facto'' already being a member, she has so far steadfastly refused to officially join the Ally of Justice Club, insisting that she is [[IWasJustPassingThrough only there to make Hayana's lunches]] (which is actually quite a feat). She appears to be the [[NonActionGuy Non Action Girl]] of the team but her "Aoi-chan chop" in chapter 3 reveals her more of a MartialPacifist.
47
48	On a side note, she is one of two people (the other one being Kuon) who knew about Hayana's true potential from the start.
49
50	* DeadpanSnarker
51	* [[NonActionGuy Non Action Girl]]
52	* MartialPacifist (maybe)
53
54	!!Satsuki Amamiya
55	-> High School Junior
56
57	The second member of the Ally of Justice Club, who joined out of [[FanGirl admiration for Hayana]]. Somewhat of a ShrinkingViolet, despite holding the Kyokusei title of "Sourai the Blue Lightning".
58
59	Wields the Active Dress-002, ''Arc Saber'' (almost identical to Hayana's own ''Twinkle Saber''), and a naginata, which can be set to stun or slash.
60
61	* FanGirl: Of both Hayana (she is, in fact, one of the only ten Platinum members of Hayana Fan Club) and Kuon (even more so).
62	* HugeSchoolgirl: She is 1,71 m tall, which leads her to doubt her right to join the Allies of Justice, since Aoi is just 1,6 m, and Hayana, only 1,52 m tall.
63	* LadyOfWar: Despite her timidness, she is a very graceful close-combat warrior, fittingly wielding a naginata.
64	* NaginatasAreFeminine: Easily the most feminine of the group.
65	* ShrinkingViolet
66
67	!World Domination Club
68	The World Domination Club (WDC) was formed, quite literally, to TakeOverTheWorld. However, since the world is big, they decided to start small and take over Misaki Academy. Since Misaki is pretty large itself, though, they reduced the current ambitions to conquering the Lunch Program and all its associate restaurants, which inevitably led them into a conflict with Hayana.
69
70	Unlike the Allies of Justice Club, the WDC is a fully legit club approved by the school authorities and based in their own club room.
71
72	By chapter 3, they arrange for the one-Kyokusei-per-club regulation to be called back, and enlist four of the recently acknowledged Kyokusei at once. They also create their own PoweredArmor line, VSS, to counter the Ally of Justice Club's Active Dresses.
73
74	!!Yuuka Akishino
75	-> High School Sophomore Black
76
77	The World Domination ClubPresident, first introduced in chapter 3. Little is know about her so far, except that she is treated with genuine respect by all her subordinates.
78
79	!!Kurou Asanagi
80	->High School Junior Violet
81
82	The World Domination Club Vice-President, he is the primary field commander of WDC. Because of his failures in chapters 1 and 2, his authority is temporarily transferred to Yagusae in chapter 3. He is [[{{Bishonen}} rather gender-ambiguous]] (not helped any by Shin Kagiya referring to him as "sister" in chapter 1) and has an easy-going attitude for someone aiming for world domination. Kurou is [[ChickMagnet universally liked]] by the female membership of the club, with hints at some kind of a special relationship with Yuuka, and appears to have an UnknownRival in Yuu Yagusae.
83
84	* SmokeOut: Asanagi's favorite escape method.
85	* StoicSpectacles: Although his glasses are rather large, they still do little to obscure his pretty face.
86
87	!!Yuu Yagusae
88	->High School Sophomore Blue
89
90	A Kyokusei, "Shinsen the Violet Flash", who seems to have a rivalry with Kurou. A scheming personality, he is not above [[CombatPragmatist ruthless tactics]] in a fight. Forms a SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan duo with the fellow Kyokusei Touya.
91
92	* BadassInANiceSuit
93	* CombatPragmatist
94	* UnknownRival
95
96	For some reason, Yuu refers to Kurou as "[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics sempai]]", despite being a year above him.
97
98	!!Touya Shiki
99	->High School Junior White
100
101	A Kyokusei, "Susa the Scarlet Sand", who relies on brute force in combat, which is [[BloodKnight the only thing he really cares about]]. Forms a SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan duo with the fellow Kyokusei Yuu.
102
103	* TheBrute: Well, he does use his fists in fights.
104	* BloodKnight
105
106	!!Aki Midou
107	->High School Sophomore Green
108
109	A Kyokusei, "Hyakkou the White Shine". She is somewhat of TheSmartGirl for the WDC, as she is the one who apparently built the VSS suits. Although formally introduced in chapter 3, she is mentioned as early as chapter 1 by Kurou, presumably being the first Kyokusei to be drafted by the Club. Forms a TomboyAndGirlyGirl duo with the fellow Kyokusei Sae (herself being the {{tomboy}}).
110
111	Wields the white ''Priest'' VSS, equipped with a SinisterScythe.
112
113	* TheSmartGirl
114	* WomenAreWiser: She and Sae are appalled by Yuu's four-on-one tactics and let Hayana and Aoi make a run for their Active Dress before attacking Hayana for real.
115
116	!!Sae Tokigami
117	->High School Sophomore Yellow
118
119	A Kyokusei, "Kokutei the Black Emperor", with a very timid personality. Can use teleportation on both inanimate objects and people. Forms a TomboyAndGirlyGirl duo with the fellow Kyokusei Aki (herself being the girly girl).
120
121	Wields the black ''Silence'' VSS, equipped with a giant "Gate Saber", which she pulls out of {{Hammerspace}}.
122
123	* ButNotTooForeign: WordOfGod (cited [[https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=656153 here]]) is that Sae is actually the granddaughter of Letty and Tsumugi from ''Manga/TheMikosWordsAndTheWitchesIncantations'' (a daughter of [[HomosexualReproduction their daughter]], in fact), so she is quarter-German but has inherited her Japanese grandmother's family name and looks.
124	* ShrinkingViolet
125	* WomenAreWiser: She and Aki are appalled by Yuu's four-on-one tactics and let Hayana and Aoi make a run for their Active Dress before attacking Hayana for real.
126
127	!!Yuunosuke Arai and Natsuo Matsuda
128	->High School Sophomore Green
129
130	ThoseTwoGuys who are WDC's lowly minions, introduced in chapter 2. Although formally members of WDC, they have since become members of Hayana Fan Club (Arai is a Gold member) and pulled off somewhat of a HeelFaceTurn in chapter 3. Whether this will have consequences for their membership in WDC remains to be seen.
131
132	Rule of thumb to distinguish them: Arai is the blond one, Matsuda has black hair and glasses.
133
134	* HeelFaceTurn: Well, the WDC are not evil per se...
135	* NerdGlasses: Natsuo.
136	* PaperThinDisguise: Their "Mask forms", which everyone immediately sees through (except Hayana, naturally).
137	* ThoseTwoGuys
138
139	!!Unnamed spy
140	A yet unnamed girl who was spying on Hayana for Yuu in chapter 3.
141
142	!!Kazuma Takei
143	->High School Sophomore Lavender
144
145	The current officially strongest Kyokusei, "Koujin the Crimson Edge", who is formally associated with the Kendo Club but was hired as Kurou Asanagi's bodyguard in chapter 1. After getting beaten up by Hayana the first time around, he trains more and seeks a rematch with her. Despite being soundly defeated again, he manages to damage Hayana's Active Dress, a feat yet to be surpassed (as Satsuki demonstrates, not even her strongest attack can break through the Twinkle Saber's armor). After uttering some cryptic lines, he disappears again, leaving his sword behind.
146
147	* KendoTeamCaptain (probably)
148
149	!Other characters
150	!!Kuon Fuwa
151	A former Hime, "Gurenki the Crimson Princess". Kuon has long graduated from Misaki but has come back at Fujishiro-sensei's (her former sempai) request. She seems to have known Hayana and Aoi for a long time and is fully aware of Hayana's hidden strength.
152
153	Wields ''Crymson'', the only Active Dress X-Trial prototype ever built, and a [[DualWielding pair]] of [[WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter bokken]].
154
155	* BadassLongcoat: Not only is the ''Crymson'' a long coat, it's also ''[[LawOfChromaticSuperiority red]]''.
156	* CoolShades: So cool, the school has made a merchandise line out of them.
157	* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Kuon's combat record strongly suggests that the best tactic against her is to run like hell.
158
159	In short, a legendary badass.
160
161	!!Shin Kagiya
162	->High School Junior Yellow
163
164	The Karate Club Kyokusei, "Shukou the Scarlet Steel", whose only purpose seems to demonstrate how strong Takei is by having the latter hand his ass back to him in chapter 1. Either shares the Scarlet Kyokusei title with Touya Shiki or passed it down to him immediately after his defeat.
165
166	!!Shino
167	Satsuki's female friend who briefly appears at the beginning of chapter 2.
168
169	!!Minoo-san
170	The former "Sourai the Blue Lightning", who passed his title down to Satsuki. Never appeared in person so far.
171
172	!!Yuzuru Sashima
173	Proprietor of the Tea House ''QJ'', where the first clash between Allies of Justice and WDC takes place in chapter 1. Nicknamed "Yuu-san" by Hayana.
174
175	!!Koushi Morinami
176	Proprietor of the Tea House ''Ariel'', which appears in chapter 2.
