Aki
- Type: Bodyguard SP.Company: Universal Anything ServicesVoiced by: Takuya Eguchi
- Big Damn Heroes: Played for Laughs. When Florence chased Kuro with her syringe, Aki blocked her attack for the sake of Kuro, Haze (signing for Aki) and Sockdolager (guiding for Haze). He was taken out after uttering his Defeat dialogue, forcing the girls to take him to Persicaria.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Aki is a genuinely excellent warrior when he's not slacking off training. Between sleeping, eating, and binging idol shows, Aki profess he can rest for up to 18 hours a day.
- Butt-Monkey: Though it is partly due to his own Brilliant, but Lazy nature, there are often incidents undermining Aki's 'ideal samurai' image in story. The most prominent case is in Critical Cascade, as Aki was surprised by the Entropy onslaught while resting and has his wardrobe destroyed, forcing him to fight through the battle half-naked.
- Corporate Samurai: Aki acts and looks like an idealized samurai, and the Bodyguard SP model line he's part of is exclusively marketed to rich clients to serve as private security. Aki's master was an expert swordsman, and it was him who influenced his weapon of choice and personality quirks.
- Critical Hit Class: His passive grants additional critical damage and raises the critical chance of non-crit attacks until it produces one.
- Hidden Depths: Aki enjoys Nanaka's idol shows and regrets not being able to attend Haze's last performance.
- Like a Son to Me: Aki's master eventually called him 'grandson' in his profile.
- Real Men Wear Pink: He appears to be fond of teddy bears, given the charm dangling from his belt.
- Unstable Equilibrium: Aki's Ultimate makes him Flash Step to his chosen target and deal an immense amount of damage in one cut. If he kills his initial target, he'll repeat the process again to the enemy with the lowest HP, dealing slightly more damage than the last hit based on how much damage he did to his previous targets. In practice, his Ultimate is either the best room clearer the player's party has, or a piddly single target nuke that's overshadowed by other Ultimates, especially if it doesn't critically hit.
Betty
- Type: Security 2.0Company: Universal Anything ServicesVoiced by: Asuka Itou
For tropes relating to her Girls' Frontline appearance, see "IDW" in this page
- Cat Girl: Not only in aesthetics, but even her personality is staggeringly cat-like.
- Call-Forward: She asks the Professor if they've ever met before in her acquisition line, seemingly at random. Her Girls' Frontline counterpart, IDW, is an incredibly common result of that game's gacha, to the point it became
memetic. Anyone whose played GFL for more than a day probably has met her. Her backstory as a Doll with abandonment issues is also largely similar to IDW's. - Catchphrase: She retains the same "da Nya!" quip as her Girls' Frontline counterpart.
- Non-Indicative Name: Her basic attack is called Betty's Fluffy Punch, and she yells "Cat Punch!" when using her Ultimate, Chatte Finale. Both of these attacks have her clawing at her enemies.
Cascadia
- Type: SRT-8Company: Svarog Heavy IndustriesVoiced by: Ai Nonaka
- I Work Alone: Which is a bit of a problem when Search and Rescue teams deliberately overstock and overstaff in order to be prepared for any possibility.
- Robot Buddy: Slo-Mo, an engineering project Chelsea and Cascadia rescued on one assignment. Within the cloud, Slo-Mo can even transform into a handheld chainsaw for Cascadia to personally wield.
- Weapons of Their Trade: Her personal weapon is a demolition hammer - basically a miniature jackhammer.
Centaureissi
- Type: Butler-36Company: Universal Anything ServicesVoiced by: Ami Koshimizu
For tropes relating to her Girls' Frontline appearance, see "G36" in this page
- Flechette Storm: In both her Auto Skill and Ultimate, she throws dozens of throwing knives at her enemies.
- Like a Daughter to Me: The military couple who bought Centaureissi eventually said that they considered her part of the family, shortly before they were recalled back to service.
- Improbable Weapon User: She fights with a vacuum cleaner.
- Meido: Butler-36s are specifically made to handle domestic chores in wealthy households.
- Ninja Maid: Compared to the preceding Butler-35 model, Butler-36 lacks a preset emotional module in order to fit a Svarog-designed combat module. Reisi herself shows exceptional competence with the combat data provided by her employers' family.
- Numerical Theme Naming: According to her illustrator, Centaureissi is a corruption of the German word for 36, sechsunddressig, obviously alluding to her model designation and the assault rifle she would later wield.
Chelsea
- Type: FF-AlphaCompany: Svarog Heavy IndustriesVoiced by: Risa Tsumugi
- Flash Freezing Coolant: Her backpack contains liquid nitrogen, which she uses during her ultimate to freeze enemies. With her Arma Inscripta II, if she manages to hit them with her auto skill first, they freeze solid enough to be unable to move, and for Chelsea to deal follow-up damage if someone forces the frozen enemy to move.
- Making a Splash: Downplayed. As a firefighter, Chelsea's arsenal includes a fire hose and a water jet cutter. She uses the latter for her basic attacks.
- Spin Attack: She uses a fire hose in a spinning attack for her active skill, hitting all adjacent enemies multiple times and reducing their armor.
Fern
- Type: AA2Company: 42LABVoiced by: Naomi Ozora
- Adventurer Archaeologist: Her bio mentions the destruction of a ruin site in 2054 that prompted science agencies to reinforce their research dolls for combat, Fern included.
- The Beastmaster: Fern can summon a skeletal pterodactyl to assist in combat, inheriting roughly half of Fern's own stats and attacking enemies by grabbing hold of them in its beak and throwing them to more vulnerable spots on the battlefield. Her Ultimate Skill summons a larger pterodactyl that sweeps the battlefield from left to right, damaging all enemies and knocking them back to the far right of the battlefield.
- Powerful Pick: She uses a mattock as her weapon of choice. According to her bio, she specifically requested 42Lab to upgrade it to the level of military weapons.
Hatsuchiri
- Type: BPT1Company: 42LABVoiced by: Eri Yukimura
- Ace Custom: The BPT1 model is not designed for mass production (Hatsuchiri's bio states she's the only example of this line), so 42Lab was able to cram many advanced technology without having to care about cost-effectiveness. One of these tech is a surface decomposition module that is implied to utilize Reverse Collapse principles.
- Auto-Revive: Her passive, Nether Plunge, saves her from death once per battle, instantly healing back half of her health and tunneling away to the farthest enemy as an emergency escape.
- Big Sister Instinct: Her motivation to go into Copley Sector is to look for Sueyoi. While they technically come from different model lines (the latter being a BPT2 doll), they were personally designed by the same person.
- Crutch Character: She's often cited as a beginner-friendly character to use in a Warrior-based team due to her Fast Tunneling abilities negating her one tile attack range and easy access to Area of Effect attacks.
- Fast Tunneling: Hatsuchiri's "Prowl" self-buff gives her the ability to rapidly dig towards the farthest enemy unit and knock up all surrounding units into the air. As an added bonus, she's completely invincible while underground.
- Intangibility: Downplayed. Her surface decomposition module allows her to traverse bedrock as easily as she would swim on water, but it's stated that irregular structures (such as underground roots) may interfere with the module's function.
- Lock-and-Load Montage: Hatsuchiri's ultimate animation shows her suiting up, with an emphasis on her chest as she pulls the suit's zipper.
- Three-Strike Combo: Her Auto Skill, Lacerating Blitz, is one of these. It consists of a simple stab, a sweeping Area of Effect attack that hits all the tiles next to Hatsuchiri, then a downwards slam that deals the most damage.
Jiangyu
- Type: CM-ENT 2.0BCompany: Cyber MediaVoiced by:
For tropes relating to her Girls' Frontline appearance, see "Type 97" in this page
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: According to Jiangyu, she has no problem with memory and skill when playing guzheng, but was hindered by her scatterbrained character.
- Big Sister Worship: Jiangyu repeated making claims about making Daiyan be proud of her in story.
- Superior Successor: CM-ENT 2.0B is the successor pattern of CM-ENT 2.0A like Daiyan. It comes without the fragility of its predecessor and possesses a modern and vibrant personality. Eventually an Averted Trope, as aforementioned improvements rely upon software that eats up the majority of her neurosoul that it hinders her primary role as a musician, not mentioning her hyperactive personality fits poorly with traditional Chinese musics.
Lind
- Type: UL-SDCompany: Ultimate Life HoldingsVoiced by: Mariko Honda
For tropes relating to her Girls' Frontline appearance, see "AA-12" in this page
- Artificial Limbs: Her main method of attack is a pair of giant metal fists that mimic her arm movements, attached by ribbon cable to a device on her back.
- Charged Attack: Her passive, Medical Peripherals, involves gaining stacks of Energy through her basic attacks. When she gains enough Energy, a tiny fraction of her Auto Skill's cooldown is shaved off, and she launches the enemies in front of her, dealing slightly more damage than her basic attacks.
- Cycle of Hurting: Her skill set revolves around inflicting stuns on her enemies as quickly as possible, which then increases her damage against them as well as her chance to stun them again with her basic attacks.
- Dash Attack: Her Ultimate, Clinical Incision, makes Lind charge at a specified enemy, launching anything in the way and dealing massive damage to her target with a single right-handed uppercut.
- Delicate and Sickly: While not ill quite to the point of, say, Ribeyrolles, Lind was built specifically to replicate human reactions to illness. Her normal Projection is covered in bandages.
- Last Chance Hit Point: Once per battle, Lind can save herself from death by automatically spending her Energy upon taking lethal damage, turning herself invincible for a few seconds based on how much Energy she spends.
- I Choose to Stay: Ultimately returned to Ultilife after her initial escape, claiming she had nowhere else to go.
- Living MacGuffin: During the Aberrant Chain event, Elaugh forces Lind to serve as the mind of her False God, Poimandres, infecting Lind with Entropy in the process. Later on, during the events of Perilous Advancement, another high-order Entropic, Ptolemaea, tries to "rescue" whatever's lying inside Lind's Entropy infection by attempting to rip Lind's core out of her body.
- Tested on Humans: Ultilife readily used Lind for very disturbing things. One example shown during Perilous Advancement included performing surgery on her without anesthetic.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Lollipops. This game explains that Knot stuffed one in her mouth one day during their occasional passbys, and Lind was overwhelmed by their sweetness.
Magnhilda
- Type: AATCompany: Svarog Heavy IndustriesVoiced by: Rina Sato
- Amazonian Beauty: Magnhilda's muscular physique befits a combat sports practitioner, but that doesn't make her any less attractive.
- Badass Normal: AAT model Dolls are meant as sparring partners for athletes, so they have to mimic human movements as closely as possible. This means Magnhilda doesn't have Super-Strength, Super-Speed, or even Super-Reflexes; anything she can do can also be done by a human. The fact that she can still punch out cybernetic-enhanced boxers and a giant ELID monster is a testament to her sheer skill.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: Magnhilda was treated nicely by her initial owner and his colleagues. She returned said goodwill with adamant gratitude.
- Best Friend: Vee. Magnhilda inspires Vee with her indomitable spirit, while Vee manages to reign in the more negative aspects of Magnhilda.
- Dented Iron: Magnhilda denied herself maintenance and repairs despite being on the verge of shutting down from accumulated damage. By the time she met Vee, her face had a vicious gash that exposed the machinery inside her face.
- Doomed Hometown: Magnhilda's (more exactly, her initial owner's) hometown was devastated by a war. Still, she never gave up on it...
- Extremity Extremist: As a boxer, she only uses her fists as weapons.
- Fighting for a Homeland: This is the current greatest wish of Magnhilda, claiming in her bonus level that she shall eventually find a way to restore her hometown.
- Heroic Second Wind: Invoked with her unique status effect, "Fighting Wind". Each stack of Fighting Wind will convert into a shield based on her max HP upon taking fatal damage, allowing Magnhilda to stay in the fight for longer.
- Knight in Sour Armor: Due to her unpleasant past, Magnhilda has a cynical outlook on life and tends to act rough. Deep down she is still righteous, understanding of other people's suffering and holds Undying Loyalty toward those she considers friends, even if they disappear or die (like her friends in the boxing club, who were scattered or killed in a war that destroyed her hometown). Her profile says she once applied for humanitarian work and dislikes bullying and cheating. The bonus level of her story also involves her standing up for and helping her more sympathetic colleagues during her time trapped in a gang-run underground boxing ring."A few more strangers appear at the lounge. Homeless refugees and masterless dolls, all join underground boxing to secure their survival.Maybe their entrance can lift some load from Magnhilda's shoulders. However, it seems she feels less than satisfactory about this. She endures every match alone, frowningly.She says she never wishes others to struggle for their existence in this dark world."
- Meaningful Name: Invoked. Santos renamed her "Magnhilda" since it means "great female warrior", which reflects her role as a star fighter in Santos' underground promotion.
- Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Her ultimate skill has her pummel a nearby enemy with extremely fast punches, complete with the requisite "ora ora".
Nascita
- Type: CM-Act/TSCompany: Cyber MediaVoiced by: M.A.O
- Barely-Changed Dub Name: Originally known as Nahita before Neural Cloud's global release.
- I Know Mortal Kombat: CM-Act/TS dolls comes with special a mobility module and a large library of old tokusatsu works, so they can better act as their own stunt doubles. These come in handy when Nascita has to fight for real in the cloud server.
- Noodle Incident: Nascita heavily dislikes Puzzle after an incident involving one of the latter Doll's exhibitions.
- Toku: Plays a stereotypical tokusatsu villain. In fact, her Doll model is specifically made for acting in toku works in general — it's even right in their name as an initialism.
- Typecasting: In-universe and Discussed early on in Chapter 7. After Sol accidentally crashes Nasicta's Mysterious Warrior Omega filming session with an intense battle, the Exiles ask Nascita how exactly she got into playing toku villain roles. She explains that she was late for the first audition she signed up to after the Wipe-off Incident, and the only role that was available was for the main villain. Since her line of Dolls is specialized for toku acting, she nailed the role and ended up becoming the go-to Doll whenever a show needed a bombastic villain, something she's slightly miffed about as she'd rather play the "hero of justice" type instead.
- Wolverine Claws: Her primary weapon is a three-pronged holographic claw.
Persicaria (Shining Edge)
- Type: PersicariaCompany: 42LABVoiced by: Karin Nanami
For tropes pertaining to the Medic version of Persicaria, see her entry in Girls Frontline Neural Cloud Medics.
- Action Girl: Shining Edge Persicaria is what becomes of her after witnessing all the battle-borne tragedies thrown against the Oasis throughout the game's plot, building the resolve to enter the frontlines herself equipped with a high-frequency sword and combat-focused AI modules provided by Antonina.
- Hard Light: Her Auto Skill summons multiple swords made of light to fire them off at her current target.
- Shock and Awe: Her Ultimate sends a wave of lightning in a specified direction while simultaneously setting the affected tiles on fire.
- Take Up My Sword: Her sword is a modified version of Sol's Alsviðr in memory of her death at the hands of Eosphorous near the end of the Perilous Advancement event.
Sol
- Type: EG 4.0Company: 42LABVoiced by: Ryōka Yuzuki
- Adventurer Archaeologist: The EG model line is designed to accompany scientists on expeditions in Relic sites. It's quite telling about the dangers they expect to face when she is just shy of a military doll in combat capabilities.
- Berserk Button: Chapter 6 takes place in the Copley sector, a simulated beachfront for vacationing and ecological research. The very beginning of the chapter has Sol start rambling about all the indoor environments she's had to put up with up until this point, something she's not used to dealing with as an archaeological Doll.
- Blood Knight: Similar dolls often polish their technical skills so they can transfer to safer, easier lab work. Sol does the opposite. Even when she does apply for a scientific mission, it's always because she saw an opportunity to polish her combat abilities. This even extends to her participation in Project Neural Cloud: if the project is complete, then death itself won't be an obstacle for her, but rather an opportunity to become stronger.
- Dumb Muscle: Downplayed. EG4.0 dolls were made to be effective in combat while also capable of providing assistance in scientific matters. Only Sol has no interest in the latter; she only ever thinks about how to improve her own fighting skills. She's usually stumped by technobabble talk because of this.
- Entertainingly Wrong: Happens during Chapter 7, during an actual form of entertainment, to boot. Sol and Persicaria find the Professor and his tour guide, Eos, tied up on a stake, seemingly ready to be sacrificed to a bonfire. Naturally assuming the worst, they try to go to their rescue. Persicaria is the first to realize it's really just a filming session for the live action Toku show Mysterious Warrior Omega, but before she can get any words out, Sol's already locked in the heat of battle with Nascita, who's playing the role of the villain, and clobbering the poor Agents playing the role of her Mooks along the way. It's not until she accidentally breaks Nascita's visor that she realizes how much she's screwed up — not that it matters, as Sol's saved from further embarrassment by Nascita ad-libbing Sol as Mysterious Warrior Omega's "understudy". The audience doesn't care enough to question it, having been entertained by their fight and treating it as just another one of the Writing by the Seat of Your Pants plot twists the show's apparently famous for.
- Flaming Sword: Sol's Alsviðr sword is not only a Vibro Weapon, but is also superheated. Her active skill applies stacks of burning damage to enemies hit by it.
- Killed Off for Real: She is apparently killed after performing a Heroic Sacrifice by calling down a railgun strike on her and Eosphorus' position. Unfortunately, because Eosphorus infected her core with the Entropy virus, Sol cannot be reset either.
- Magic Knight: She's one of the roster's few Operand damage-based Warriors, making her the cyberspace equivalent of one of these. Unlike other Warriors, her damage scales off of her Hashrate stat rather than her Attack (usually a trait of Sniper Dolls with more fantastic methods of attack), and her sword swings are augmented by Operand-fueled flames, as noted above.
- Nice Girl: Sol is a bright, cheerful young woman who always put the well-being of her comrades first, both physically and mentally. It's this trait that gave her glowing recommendations from the researchers who have worked with her.
- Parrying Bullets: Her passive skill gives her a chance to parry incoming ranged attacks, dramatically reducing damage taken.
- Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Sol is named after Sól, the personification of sun in Norse Mythology. Her blades, Árvakr and Alsviðr, share their names with the horses who drew Sól's chariot across the sky
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?; She is scared by anything supernatural such as ghosts or zombies. Even the Professor merely comparing the Copley sector administrator's sheer lack of presence to a zombie is enough to get her to start panicking.
Vee
- Type: UL-CS5Company: Ultimnate Life HoldingsVoiced by: Eri Kitamura
- Long-Range Fighter: Unlike other Fighters, Vee has comparable attack range to Snipers.
- Ms. Fanservice: Her clothing features a prominent cleavage while her ultimate animation has a brief shot that focuses on said area. Both are censored in the Chinese and Global version of the game.
