The Empire of Germania

    In General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6d1b862313cca9fadc85ed68cd9ec9c2.png
  • Dark Is Evil: Their soldiers' uniforms and vehicles come in dark gray and black, and they're out to conquer the rest of Europe and place it under their sole leadership.
  • The Empire: Let's see...They're out to conquer the rest of Europe and eventually the world, commit war crimes on both the occupied territories and on the frontlines, have concentration camps for political opponents of their regime, and are essentially a military dictatorship run by a monarch.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: On the receiving end of the trope, as the Germanian spies (even the relatable ones like Rickert) do consider silencing one of your own troops that Knows Too Much as par for the course, while for their Eylstadt counterparts it's a rather extreme action.
  • Kick the Dog: In Episode 9, when Izetta is chained up and helpless, they don't waste time putting a gun to her head and taking pictures of her.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: The majority of Germanian soldiers are just soldiers doing their duty, not so much with the higher ups.
  • Putting on the Reich: They are essentially Nazis in the guise of Imperial Germany, the Kaiser even has a great interest in the occult much like some of the Nazi brass (particularly Himmler) did.
  • State Sec: They have their own version of the SS, distinguished from their regular Army counterparts thanks to their fancier uniforms.
  • Stupid Jetpack Hitler: While technologically similar to the real life Nazi Germany in most regards, they do manage to develop some vehicle prototypes years ahead, such as the Horten Ho 229 jet fighter and Tiger I Heavy Tank, as seen in their Neu Berlin facilities. However, that pales in comparison to their access to early cloning technology, and later, nuclear weapons based on magical energy.
  • Take Over the World: By Episode 10, the Kaiser makes it the Empire's goal to conquer not only the entirety of Europe, but even take over the United States of Atlanta.

    Kaiser Otto 

Voiced by: Kōichi Yamadera (Japanese), Brandon Potter (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cha25.png
The Emperor of Germania.
  • A Nazi by Any Other Name: One of the most on-the-nose examples you'll find. From his fascistic ideals to his plans of world conquest through terror and violence, he's quite blatantly a one-to-one copy of Adolf Hitler.
  • Bad Boss: He has many of his subordinates dismissed and eventually executed or assassinated after they're no longer useful or too useful to the Empire's cause.
  • Beard of Evil: Has a noticeable beard, and is shown to be a warmongering tyrant who tosses aside his own allies and subordinates for selfish reasons.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: The moment he makes a deal with anyone, expect him to fully go back on it later on without any hint of remorse whatsoever.
  • Cruel Mercy: Forgives the Lieutenant General responsible for the lost battle in Episode 3, but reassigns him to a dead-end job at a prison camp and confiscates all his lands, which is treated as a Fate Worse than Death.
  • Driven to Suicide: After Sophie's defeat, the allies go on the offensive. Before they can capture him, he kills himself. Of course this is based on whether or not what Elliot said is true.
  • The Emperor: Of the Germanian Empire.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: While Berkman and Sophie do most of the work, he is the one responsible for the ongoing war on the continent and the attempted kidnapping of Finé and Izetta.
  • Jerkass: He establishes himself as this when he punishes a subordinate even though the defeat was not Grosskopf's fault and no one could have taken Izetta's abilities into account.
  • Killed Offscreen: He supposedly kills himself off-screen.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: In the case of General Grosskopf it deserves to be remembered that the attack Izetta stopped was actually his third defeat as the Eylstadt army had beaten off the first two attempts by themselves. One reason they were able to do so was that Grosskopf had made a stupid bet with his opposite number in the Germanian Air Force as to which service could conquer Eylstadt by itself. It was only when the answer turned out to be "neither" that they finally quit goofing around on the third attack which is the one she stopped. Had they not been goofing around she would have arrived too late. Even with that they had already suffered two unnecessary defeats because of that bet. To be fair, the bet seems to have been known and approved of by the pilots but an Evil Overlord who finds out that one of his officers is getting troops killed for frivolous reasons might be forgiven if he decides that such an officer needs to be dealt with harshly.
  • No Name Given: For the entirety of the series' first half, he's been only referred to by his position as a monarch. However, in episode 7, during a discussion between the leaders-in-exile of nations invaded by Germania, we're finally given a name: Otto.
  • Pet the Dog: He recognizes Rickert's work in exposing Izetta's secret, and he make sure his father knows he gives his condolences.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: See You Have Failed Me below.
  • Take Over the World: His end goal, not surprising in the least considering who he's based on...
  • You Have Failed Me: Subverted, he was seemingly originally planning to do this to the Lieutenant General Grosskopf, but instead decides to reassign him to a prison camp and take all his lands after the information he gives about Izetta turns out to be useful.

    Elliot 

Voiced by: Daisuke Hirakawa (Japanese), Dave Trosko (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elliot_removebg_preview.png

The Kaiser's right-hand man and advisor.


  • Honest Advisor: His role in the Kaiser's court. He takes it upon himself to remind the Kaiser to prioritize Germania's military objectives over his fascination with Izetta's magic.
  • Minor Major Character: He only has a handful of lines, but he makes them count as he advises the Kaiser.
  • Satellite Character: He has yet to have a scene other than being by the Kaiser's side.
  • Skewed Priorities: Subverted. He wants the Kaiser to put his primary focus on Eylstadt's strategic importance and make capturing Izetta the secondary goal to which the Kaiser agrees to.
  • The Starscream: It is unconfirmed, but it is hinted that he might've killed Kaiser Otto at the end of the series, so he could bring an end to the war when all was lost.

    Berkman 

Arnold Berkman

Voiced by: Jun'ichi Suwabe (Japanese), John Burgmeier (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arnold_berkman_visual.png

Major of the Germanian army's special unit, and one of the few people who knew what was in the mysterious coffin.


  • Awesome by Analysis: In Episode 5, he is able to figure out Izetta's power has limits by considering certain facts, but he doesn't know the specifics. He figures that out in episode 7.
  • Big Bad: Serves as Izetta's main opposition throughout the series and is the one who is charged with trying to find out a way to kill her.
  • Clark Kenting: Zig-zagged. When he encounters Finé in Episode 8 he is merely wearing a small mask, and she does not recognize him. This is justified because they only briefly met in Episode 1, and it had been weeks or months since then. Additionally, during their first meeting, it became darkened by the tunnel, and she was focused on escaping. Not to mention, she wouldn't expect a Germanian to be attending an party for one of the allied nations.
  • Dirty Coward: In Episode 12, he decides to flee his Eylstadt captors and the Germanian Forces without second thought, leaving them to their own devices.
  • Dissonant Serenity: He is seen smiling as he murders his fellow Germanians.
  • Establishing Character Moment: His Faux Affably Evil moment listed below in the first episode.
  • Enemy Mine: In Episode 11, he ends up surrendering and joining Eylstadt, after he figures out that he's outlived his usefulness to the Empire. Ultimately, this defection is for his own self-preservation, rather than out of any moral reasons.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: While he doesn't hesitate to commit numerous war crimes and has killed his own countrymen under the premise of knowing far too much, he's appalled by the Kaiser's tendency to throw away even his most useful and loyal subordinates (something that happens to himself eventually, too) and the SS's brutal methods and Blind Obedience to the former.
  • The Evil Genius: He's one of the Germanian Empire's most brilliant scientists, and is able to figure out how witches like Izetta can fight after a few encounters with her.
  • Eye Scream: He is shot in the face by Basler and loses his right eye.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Berkman smiles while shooting his fellow Germanians when they see Izetta in the capsule.
  • Foil: To Sieghart "Sieg" Müller. Both are questionable characters willing to "do what is needed" for their cause, including killing their own troops. However, Sieg does it after reaching the conclusion that it needs to be done, makes a token effort to explain and justify his action to poor Jonas and apologizes to him, and is shown being troubled inside for his own action afterwards, while Berkman does it easily, as a spot decision, without apparent regret, and actually smiling.
  • Four Eyes, Zero Soul: A man who would just murder his own men while smiling cannot be a good guy by any stretch of the imagination.
  • Ghostapo: The army special unit Berkman represents appears to be the Fantasy Counterpart Culture version of this trope, investigating occult phenomena at the Kaiser's behest.
  • The Heavy: Berkman is the first antagonist introduced and seems to be the Kaiser's most competent and trustworthy underling, charged with coming up with a plan to defeat and (re)capture Izetta.
  • Hero Killer: Establishes himself as this by killing Tobias.
  • Inconsistent Spelling: There have been inconsistencies with whether his name is spelled 'Bergman', 'Belkman' or 'Berkman'. The latter is used in the Funimation translation.
  • It's All About Me: He is not loyal to Germania. He is loyal only to himself. He hasn't been doing things for the sake of Germania, but mostly for his own curiosity. He lampshades this in Episode 11 to Seig and in Episode 12 to Basler.
  • Jerkass: He is one without a doubt.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: While he may not exactly be loyal to Germania from the start, he has a valid point that there is no point in being loyal to a country whose ruler wants him dead, and he is better off siding with Eylstadt and helping them win the war, so he can live.
  • Karma Houdini: Zig-zagged. He manages to survive the series, but not unscathed. At first it looked like the only comeuppance he'd receive was a punch from Sieg, but he is shot and loses an eye to Basler.
  • Perpetual Smiler: He almost always has a small smirk on his face, even when killing his own countrymen.
  • Pet the Dog: He paid his respects to Rickert's grave and genuinely praised his efforts.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: He joins Eylstadt's side after he figured out that Kaiser Otto ordered his execution.
  • Rank Up: He's given a promotion to Lt. Colonel by Kaiser Otto in Episode 10, thanks to the results of his research helping the Germanian Empire turn the tide of the war in their favor.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He tries fleeing Westria during the final episode after escaping his Eylstadt captors, only to end up shot by a disgusted Basler. He survives the gunshot wound, only to end up wearing an eyepatch afterward.
  • The Starscream: After he's been tossed aside by the Kaiser, he ultimately decides to foil their plans by telling the Eylstadt Forces several of their military and political secrets. He later ends up in Atlantean service following the end of the war.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After all of his efforts finally brought Germania excellent results, Kaiser is quick to discard and toss him away once he no longer can contribute to the cause. He, of course, knew it was coming and yet, got caught off-guard once it happened.

    Rickert 

Rickert Bisterfelt

Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae (Japanese), Derick Snow (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/32812_6479028.png

Another member of the special unit who has noble blood. He is Berkman's right-hand man.


  • Accidental Pervert: He sees Bianca when she is bathing. He only broke down the door because he thought she was in danger.
  • Anti-Villain: Rickert never done anything atrocious throughout the series and even personally expressed sympathies for Eylstadt people. He's only a villain since he's working with the Germanian empire and can't bring himself to betray his country, but he is willing to let the Royal Guard kill him.
  • Bad Liar: In Episode 7, Basler tells Rickert has a bad poker face.
  • A Death in the Limelight: Episode 8 gives him more development before his untimely death at the hands of Bianca.
  • Defiant to the End: He's offered his life if he turns sides, but he outright refuses. A rare case of doing that without saying a single insult or snark (see Face Death with Dignity and Suicide By Royal Guard below for details).
  • Disney Villain Death: Subverted in that he's also quite deliberately shot in chest and abdomen before falling, instead of it being a simple accident that leaves the hero's hand clean.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Fails to notice Bianca's Royal Guard uniform laid on upon her bed right in front of him, because a fully nude Bianca is also in front of him.
  • The Dragon: To Berkman until his death.
  • Due to the Dead: It is revealed in Episode 11 that Rickert was given a proper burial.
  • Face Death with Dignity: Invoking My Country, Right or Wrong, "Not So Different" Remark, and You Can't Fight Fate (see below) in quick succession before also invoking Suicide By Royal Guard.
  • Hidden Depths: He acknowledges that he will take up his father's title one day, but he wants to prove he can be successful even without inheriting it.
  • Instant Death Bullet: Averted. He is shot twice before dying. Even then he didn't completely succumb to the wounds yet.
  • Mr. Exposition: He serves as this for Basler during Episode 6.
  • My Country, Right or Wrong: Even though he does feel bad for Eylstadt, he refuses to betray Germania.
  • Properly Paranoid: In Episode 5, he is understandably nervous when Berkman begins listing what Izetta would do if her powers were invincible, such as personally going to the Germanian Empire's capital to eliminate the Kaiser. While Berkman is simply speaking about theories and observations, Rickert understands that in a totalitarian state such things can be easily misconstrued.
  • Satellite Character: For the first seven episodes most of his scenes revolved around him having exchanges with either Berkman or Basler. Subverted in Episode 8 where he gets more screentime before meeting his untimely demise.
  • Ship Tease: Between him and Bianca until she finds out who he really is.
  • Suicide By Royal Guard: Bleeding to death from a previous wound, and faced to his love interest, he chooses to raise his gun nonetheless, forcing Bianca to shoot him in the chest.
  • Token Good Teammate: Deconstructed. While he is the nicest of the people on the Germanian side and sympathizes with the Eylstadt people, it doesn't mean he is going to betray his country and switch sides overnight. He has lived in Germania his whole life, and he is loyal to his country. While his last moments did make it clear he truly felt bad for Eylstadt, it doesn't change the fact he puts his own country first to complete his mission.
  • The Watson: His main role for most of his screen time is being someone to whom Berkman can explain his theories and plans.
  • You Can't Fight Fate: He discusses the trope to Bianca in relation to Izetta and Finé being likely to repeat the real story of the original White Witch and Prince.

    Basler 

Basler

Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya (Japanese), Jeffrey Schmidt (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/32812_1093750277.png

Germania's top ace pilot and captain of a Germanian fighter planes squadron who give chase immediately after Izetta's aerial escape in the second episode. He is later recruited by Berkman in Episode 5.


  • Ace Custom: His 109 is the only one painted with yellow markings, indicating his status as a squadron leader and an experienced pilot. When he upgrades to a more advanced fighter midseason, he paints gold stripes on it instead.
  • Ace Pilot: After his 109 is damaged by Izetta, he manages to make it over the mountain range and back into Neu-Berlin in one piece. It's thanks to these piloting skills that Berman selects him to be one of his subordinates later on.
  • All There in the Manual: He was not introduced by name in the second episode, but the promotional material revealed his name. He isn't named onscreen until Episode 5.
  • Badass Boast: He states that he is the only one who can take on Izetta in a dogfight.
  • Bolivian Army Ending: His ultimate fate following the end of the war is unclear. He's last seen taking off in a warplane as the Allied powers are closing in on Neu-Berlin, presumably for one final sortie, and his survival is an open question.
  • Brains and Brawn: He is the brawn to Berkman's brains.
  • Co-Dragons: With Rickert until Rickert's death in Episode 8.
  • Defiant to the End: Rather than surrender, he decides to go on one last patrol. It's heavily implied he plans on dying in battle.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: While he may be fighting for an evil empire, he still cares deeply for his compatriots and subordinates. And when he finds out Berkman has sold his country out after the Kaiser betrayed him, Basler is utterly disgusted with the Lt. Colonel to the point he shoots his former superior without second thought.
  • Law of Chromatic Superiority: His fighter is trimmed with gold, signifying his status as squadron leader.
  • Mid-Season Upgrade: Goes from a Bf 109 E to a more advanced piston-engined fighter prototype after being assigned to Berkman's unit.
  • Second Episode Introduction: He makes his debut in the second episode of the series.
  • Sole Survivor: In their first confrontation, Izetta downs the members of his squadron one by one. The captain himself makes it back to Germania with only a disabled engine. It is because of this that Berkman decides to recruit him.
  • Spell My Name With An S: There were some inconsistencies on whether his name was spelt as 'Bassler' or 'Basler.' The latter is used in the Funimation translation.
  • Super Prototype: He receives an advanced piston engined fighter capable of keeping up with Izetta's speed after his previous aircraft is damaged, and after he is assigned to Berkman's unit.
  • Uncertain Doom: It's unknown if he survives the war, given that his last scene has him taking off on what looks like a combat flight instead of a transport one.

    Grosskopf 

Lieutenant General Grosskopf

Voiced by: Susumu Akagi (Japanese), Jeremy Inman (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cha21.png

The Lieutenant General in charge of the Germanian forces attacking Coenenberg. After his defeat, he is stripped of his rank and lands.


  • Asshole Victim: A non-fatal version. He suffers horrible consequences after he suffers a humiliating defeat at Izetta's hands.
  • Bald of Evil: He is completely bald and seems rather pleased how his men are wiping out a less equipped opposing force.
  • Break the Haughty: The news of his division's defeat leaves him very broken at the end of the Episode 3.
  • Fat Bastard: He's one of the pudgier characters in the series, and is one of the leaders of the Eylstadt invasion force.
  • Humiliation Conga: Not only does Izetta deliver him a crushing defeat which forces him to return to Germania to explain his defeat to the Kaiser personally but he is stripped of everything he's worked for his entire life.
  • Reassigned to Antarctica: After his defeat, the Kaiser is 'lenient' by simply stripping of his rank and lands then forced to become a warden of a prison camp.
  • Smug Snake: He seems a little too eager to celebrate his victory long before the battle was over. It comes back to bite him later.
  • Starter Villain: The first Germanian commander Izetta and the Eylstadt forces defeat.
  • This Cannot Be!: His reaction to his men being defeated by Izetta.

    Elisabeth 

Elisabeth

Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue (Japanese), Leah Clark (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cha28.png
Director of the Germanian Army's Design Division.
  • All for Nothing: Her Division's months of research and work on Hexenium-based weaponry are immediately undone when Izetta drains the entirety of Europe's leylines of magical energy.
  • Lack of Empathy: She clearly sees Sophie's clones only as weapons and products of the Empire. In Episode 12, she is only at most inconvenienced when the clone helping control the missile launch dies.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: She's one of the less important Germanian officers in the overall story, but it's the Design Division 9 under her command that ends up creating the biggest threats to Eylstadt and the Allied Forces late in the series. It's also the wonderweapons her Division creates that ultimately cause Izetta to push through with draining Europe's leylines of magical energy, as the Germanians and Sophie will continue to abuse magic so long as they have access to it.
  • Stupid Jetpack Hitler: The Design Division is centered around designing, creating, and producing advanced weaponry for the Germanian Army, with several advanced aircraft and armored fighting vehicles such as the Horten 229 and Tiger I Heavy tank being shown in development during Episode 6. It's later revealed that they've even perfected early cloning technology, managing to create a perfect clone of the original White Witch late in the series.
  • Super Prototype: The Design Division is shown developing several advanced military prototypes, from advanced piston-engined fighters to heavy tanks.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Her fate following the Final Battle is not shown, though given her extensive knowledge of advanced weaponry and technology, it's very likely she was captured by the United States of Atlanta offscreen following the end of the war, and, like Berkman, was given political asylum in exchange for Germanian scientific and military secrets.

    Sophie SPOILERS 

Voiced by: Sora Amamiya (Japanese), Jad Saxton (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cha32_1.png
A witch whose existence seemingly contradicts the fact that Izetta is the last witch. In reality, she's a clone of the white witch spoken of in legends, created specifically for the purpose of combating Izetta.
  • Ambiguous Situation: It has not been made clear if she really does remember her past or if she is relying on what the Germanians have told her about history.
  • Asshole Victim: A right sadistic bitch who was going out of her way to kill Izetta and destroy Eylstadt without any regret or empathy when she dies.
  • Ax-Crazy: She does not appear to be entirely stable.
  • Bad Boss: In Episode 12, she ends up killing several of her Germanian subordinates and allies assisting her in battle, either because they were interrupting her mid-battle like in the case of one unlucky Bf 109 pilot, or, in the case of the Flakpanzer crews, needed something to throw against Izetta in the heat of battle, the crew inside of the vehicles be damned.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: During her first battle with Izetta, she seems nice enough when she tries to negotiate Izetta into standing down, but when Izetta refuses to back down, Sophie quickly proves herself to be really unhinged and bloodthirsty after Izetta refuses to negotiate with her.
  • Blood Magic: Izetta's blood is why she was able to gain a sense of self and use magic. Beforehand, she was nothing more than a mindless puppet. Due to her being a witch, she likely is capable of using the same blood magic Izetta was capable of as well.
  • Body Surf: The Germanian army is mass-producing more clone bodies for her, as using the Magic Stone degenerates her current body.
  • Came Back Wrong: She apparently retained her memories from her past life, and she is enraged and suffers a homicidal psychotic break.
  • Clone Degeneration: Changing clone bodies carries a severe risk that she will be eroding her consciousness with every switch.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Zig-zagged. When she is fighting against Izetta, Izetta fights relatively well against her. It isn't until Sophie lures her into an area that she had previously drained of magic with the Magic Stone that she takes Izetta down.
  • Dark Action Girl: She is the dark version of Izetta.
  • Dark Is Evil: She wears a dark outfit in contrast to Izetta.
  • Dark Magical Girl: Very much dark indeed.
  • Death by Irony: States during her final confrontation with Izetta that Izetta herself will die from the strain of the Magic Stone before she can drain all of Europe's magic, but ironically ends up flinching and losing consciousness from said strain, resulting in her plummeting to her death.
  • Disney Villain Death: She dies after both she and Izetta end up draining so much magic from the European continent that Sophie can't sustain her flight anymore as well as the strain of the Magic Stone on her body, and plummets to the ground while losing consciousness from the resulting fatigue and strain.
  • Dissonant Serenity: She is constantly smiling and enjoying herself as she either torments Izetta or kills numerous other people.
  • The Dragon: She initially serves as one of Berkman's Co-Dragons alongside Basler following Rickert's death in Episode 8, before later becoming Kaiser Otto's own Dragon after Berkman is reassigned.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Episode 9.
  • Expy: She is technically Izetta's version of Selvaria Bles.
  • Evil Knockoff: Of both the legend she's cloned from and Izetta herself. This even extends to her outfit, a mostly black one in contrast to Izetta's white outfit.
  • Evil Laugh: When attacking Izetta and later Landsbruck.
  • Fallen Heroine: She used to be the guardian of Eylstadt, but after getting betrayed by the country in her previous life, she is now determined to destroy it.
  • Final Boss: She's the final antagonist that Izetta must fight in person.
  • Forceful Kiss: Gives one to Izetta in Episode 8, as an excuse to bite her lip and obtain some of her blood.
  • Go Mad from the Revelation: Being put to death by the country she was sworn to protect in her past life would lead to her have a psychotic break that turns her into into a vengeful, Ax-Crazy sociopath.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: Upon learning of what really happened to her at the hands of Eylstadt and her thirst for vengeance that spawned at the end of her previous life that would lead to her psychotic break from Episode 8 to Episode 12, they confirmed she was this in earlier episodes when references to the White Witch legend are made and how they impacted Eylstadt before she was cloned by the Germanians and brought into the picture.
  • Hate Sink: Upon regaining her memories, her appearances basically stood in to be disliked by the viewers, mostly due to her cruelty as a result of her vengeance against Eylstadt. Most of the tropes describing her are all negative.
  • Hypocrite: Chides Izetta for misusing her powers and intervening in a human war... yet her previous incarnation did the same thing, and she has no issue with harming the Eylstadt forces on Germania's behalf. Episode 10 takes this even further when she uses the power of the magic stone to mass produce powerful weapons for the Germanian forces that devastate their enemies.
  • Jerkass: She is a big one without a doubt.
  • Karmic Death: She and her clones are destroyed when Izetta uses the magic stone to absorb all the magic in the world.
  • Kick the Dog: After she uses her stone to nullify Izetta's ability, she has no problem chaining her up quite painfully.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Things get significantly darker with her arrival to the plot and the war effort begins to turn back to Germania's favour.
  • Power Crystal: The Magic Stone (even only possessing half of it) allows her to drain regions of their magic completely, draw on the magic stored in the stone to bypass the limitation of needing to be near a ley line, and power Germanian weaponry.
  • Propaganda Hero: Like Izetta, she ends up becoming a symbol of power for the Germanian Empire, and photos of her actions in the field are published in newspapers and films around the world.
  • Putting on the Reich: Upon her official debut on the battlefield, she shows up in a black and red version of a Germanian officer uniform, in direct contrast to Izetta´s white color-scheme.
  • "Reason You Suck" Speech: Defied. She tries to give one to Izetta regarding her devotion to Finé, but Izetta quickly shuts up and continues fighting without any problem. Instead, Sophie lures Izetta into a trap.
  • Revenge: She feels pretty motivated to get revenge for her previous version's death.
  • Revenge Before Reason: It doesn't matter to her if using the Magic Stone reduces her already limited lifespan or she might not be able to transfer her current consciousness into another clone body. She just wants to make sure Eylstadt burns.
  • Sadist: The way she enjoys painfully chaining up Izetta makes it clear she is one.
  • The Sociopath: She is a bloodthirsty and sadistic psycho who is only concerned about avenging herself against Eylstadt, with no remorse or pity towards anyone around her.
  • Soulless Shell: She starts out as one, but begins to regain her memories after coming into contact with Izetta's blood.
  • This Cannot Be!: She is surprised when she sees Izetta using the magic stone to absorb all the magic in the world.
  • Villainous Breakdown: She goes through one during the fight with Izetta in the finale.
  • Walking Spoiler: It's pretty much impossible to mention her without explaining events of episode 9.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: Big time.
  • Wicked Witch: Is she ever.
  • Wild Card: It has been hinted the Germanians might not be able fully control her. She does not have much of an issue to insulting and disrespecting people even on her side. In the final battle, she has no issues using and killing people on her own side to try and kill Izetta.
  • Your Days Are Numbered: Being an incomplete clone with a borrowed consciousness and user of a highly hurtful artifact, she knows that she won´t be long-lived, acknowledging that she was dead from the start when the topic came up.
