Gold Third
Main Four
- Debut: Megadimension Neptunia VII
General Tropes
- Ancient Order of Protectors: This is their role in Game Maker. On the surface they're just a self appointed global police force, however after the Failure Goddesses accidentally created the Zaikopath with the negative energy accumulated from the sheer volume of garbage games they produced, they stepped in to strictly and violently regulate the production and distribution of games globally to ensure another would never be created nor would the first ever be unsealed as they felt such utterly draconian measures would be worth it to stop the end of the world.
- Anti-Villain: None of them are actual villains, just their roles lead them in conflict with the CPUs. Most of the arc is about the CPUs and their respective Gold Third counterparts getting to know each other.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: They easily curbstomp the CPUs when they first time meet each other during G-1 Grand Prix final, and consequently take over their nations after the Cosmic Retcon.
- Badass Crew: When they band together they defeat the CPUs, who are a Badass Crew themselves, in a Curb-Stomp Battle.
- Big Damn Heroes: Correctly predicting that the CPUs might not defeat Affimojas with their low Shares at the time, they arrive with a Hyper Share Crystal made by Histoire from the fragments of their own Gold Crystals just in time to bail the CPUs out of a hostage situation.
- Brought Down to Badass: Even when the Gold crystals are destroyed, the Gold Third can still transform. When the CPU Candidates seek them out for help in the Heart Dimension arc, they each request a spar to gauge their current power without the crystals, but it's ultimately not as big a handicap as they expected.
- Brought Down to Normal: Getting trapped in the Immersion-kun ProMAX by the Copy Trio ends up permanently stripping them of their ability to use their Gold Forms so they end up sitting out the more direct action of the final stretch of the game, aside from organizing evacuation efforts.
- Composite Character: In general, all of them are pretty similar to Makers from previous games. However, they also borrow some elements of Generals from Noire's spin-off. For example: K-Sha is a composite between Saori's kindhearted nature and Lid's battle hardened personality, while C-Sha is a composite between Vio's military-style outfit and Lee-Fi's fighting style.
- Demoted to Extra: In VII, they're the focus of the second arc and join the playable cast in the third. In Sisters vs Sisters, they're nothing more than Chirper accounts. Meanwhile, Game Maker gives them some more relevance to the story but still keeps them out of the playable cast due to the situation that causes them to be Brought Down to Normal.
- Deity of Human Origin: Downplayed. The Golden Summits and the Gold Crystals inside were what gave them their Gold Forms, which run on Share Energy just like the CPUs and would allow them to technically serve as such. However, unlike how a CPU Memory works in the Ultra Dimension, it didn't give them the other perks like immortality. Plus, if their Gold Crystals are destroyed, they lose much of their power though they still keep the Gold Forms since that's what converts the Share Energy into a usable form for them, unlike a CPU who can use it in its raw form.
- Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: What was merely intended as a test for their Gold Forms results in a public curb-stomping of the CPUs.
- Early-Bird Cameo: All four of them make their first appearances during the Zero Dimension arc, during Neptune's Hyper Dimension interlude.
- Empowered Badass Normal: They were once basically Makers until they learned of the Golden Summits and were bestowed the Gold Crystals, which converts Share Energy into a usable form for them and gave them their Gold Forms.
- Four-Temperament Ensemble:
- B-Sha is Sanguine, being the most childish and energetic.
- S-Sha is Melancholic, being apathetic to almost everything.
- K-Sha is Choleric, being the most trigger-happy as a trained mercenary.
- C-Sha is Phlegmatic, being the leader of the quartet as the most rational.
- Kidnapped by the Call: They originally just wanted to challenge the CPUs to a fight when they acquired their powers, but then Kurome rewrote history and made them the nations' leaders.
- Moe Anthropomorphism: Of triple-A Japanese game publishers/developers.
- One Extra Member: Lampshaded in despite being called Gold Third, there's four of them. And if you count E-Sha, it's really more like five.
- Super Mode: Their Gold Form is comparable to the CPUs' HDD, which, instead of a full-on transformation, simply gains them more gear and weapons alongside having Supernatural Golden Eyes.
- Supernatural Gold Eyes: While their Gold Form is active, and it's the only visible change in their character portraits.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Plays a similar role to the Seven Sages from Victory, although the number of members and personalities are different. After joining as party members, however, they share similar roles with Makers from previous games.
- The Prophecy: The Golden Summit powers are supposed to be used to save the world in a time of crisis, according to a magazine that Neptune had read and ended up in B-Sha's hands when she left it behind. Granted, none of them aside from B-Sha believed it at first, but when said towers suddenly appeared, they panicked and decided to check them out, receiving their powers in the process. According to Kurome, the Golden Summits are actually a self-preservation mechanism created by Gamindustri itself in the event global Share Energy and faith in the CPUs reaches a critical low point, such as during the CPU Shift Period.
- Unflinching Walk: How all four end their Combination Attack when they become playable characters.
- Unwitting Pawn: The Gold Third challenged the CPUs in order to test their new powers, but they had no idea that they were playing into Affimax and Kurome's hands. Futhermore, Kurome reveals that she used the unique signature the Golden Summits emit in order to lock down the dimensional coordinates of Hyper Dimension, which would allow her to merge it with Heart Dimension and unleash her ultimate apocalyptic plan.
- The Usurper: All of the members easily defeat the goddesses and claim their roles as the nations' leaders. Subverted, as most of them admitted they have little to no experience in leading their landmass. This happens due to Kurome's alteration along with Affimojas' help.
C-Sha
C-Sha
- "Hey! Hold off on that match for a second!"Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu (Japanese), Amanda Céline Miller (English)
The leader of Gold Third on account of being the most down-to-earth of the quartet. She has a voracious appetite for meat, yet proudly maintains a nice figure. After Gamindustri's rewrite, she ends up in charge of Lowee, but searches for the cause of a draconian license system set up in her absence while working as a Guild Hunter, developing a vitriolic relationship with Blanc (on the latter's end) as the CPU tries to reclaim her nation.
- Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: When she's kept prisoner by the Revolutionary Army, and a couple of soldiers say she's not their type, as they're more interested in underdeveloped figures like Blanc's (who they can't remember at that point is the reason they wanted to live in Lowee because of the Cosmic Retcon).
- Arm Cannon: She uses this when performing C-Buster SP skill, just like a certain other Blue Bomber. She also equips one when she uses her Super Mode.
- Antiquated Linguistics: Strangely slips into this while possessed, despite her possessor Kurome not speaking this way.
- The Atoner: The reason why C-Sha initially lied to Blanc about not meeting her before is because she feels responsible for inadvertently causing Gamindustri to be in its current state. This also applies to her day job as a Hunter, as she feels that she personally has to hunt monsters due to being the source of the fog that's corrupting the monsters.
- Bare-Fisted Monk: Most of her Combo Skills involving martial arts moves, taking heavy inspiration from Street Fighter.
- BFS: She unleashes this one in her Great Sword Dance SP skill, resembling something straight out of Monster Hunter.
- Blood Knight: She's the Gold Third who loves fighting the most, even using Dante's famous "This is what I live for! I'm absolutely crazy about it!" quote in the fight to recruit her during the third arc when she's at 50% health.
- Cold-Blooded Torture: She's subjected to this by one of Lowee's corrupt politicians in Blanc's story. Though it's the mental damage Kurome deals out that proves more dangerous in the long run.
- Cool Big Sis: Rom and Ram view her as one, since she's a lot more willing to engage with their pranks than with Blanc and is just as equally as caring to them as Blanc is.
- The Corrupter: Albeit unwillingly. It turns out that she's the source of the fog that's turning the monsters delusional in Lowee, but she's also doing her best to suppress the threat as a Hunter.
- Curtains Match the Window: Brown hair with brown eyes.
- Demonic Possession: Once C-Sha overcomes her original despair, Kurome uses the Negative energy stored up in her body to forcibly possess her with the intent of making her attack Lowee. C-Sha only resists long enough to get back to her Golden Summit tower, and Blanc and her sisters have to fight her to force Kurome out.
- Et Tu, Brute?: Briefly undergoes this when she thinks Blanc sold her out to Lowee's Revolutionary Army, despite Blanc not even realizing they were being spied upon. She gets over it once she learns the truth from some guards.
- Faking Amnesia: She claims that she doesn't recognize Blanc after Gamindustri's rewrite, but later admits that she was simply trying to start off on better terms after Gold Third's victory over the CPUs seemed to have caused the Cosmic Retcon.
- Gratuitous English: Often speaks in this when it's her turn to attack in the Japanese version.
- Heroic Build: The bustiest member of Gold Third, and also the most physically-oriented fighter.
- Holding Back the Phlebotinum: She usually has to release the delusionary fog at certain intervals from her body, but when she's captured, she's forced to hold it all in to prevent from being released into Lowee. This, combined with Kurome's Mind Rape, eventually weakens her enough that Kurome is able to forcibly take over her body.
- The Leader: Of Gold Third, by virtue of being the Only Sane Man.
- Misanthrope Supreme: Briefly goes through this in captivity thanks to Kurome's Mind Rape, deciding that if the people of Lowee didn't care for everything she sacrificed for them, they could all die to the monster hordes coming. Financier's speech and learning Blanc's fighting the monsters alone snaps her out of it.
- More than Mind Control: Kurome uses Mind Rapes coupled with Breaking Speeches within them during her captivity and to make her snap, but when that fails she settles for outright taking over her body to make her attack Blanc.
- Ms. Fanservice: She's the most ravishing member of the Gold Third, thanks to her Stripperriffic outfit and large bustline. Lampshaded by the game itself in the Zero Dimension arc's credits with her brief appearance credited as "Sexy Lady".
- Navel-Deep Neckline: Her outfit exposes much of her chest down to her navel, though there's a few belts along the way.
- Only Sane Man: It's said she's the only one who possesses common sense among the Gold Third. Considering what B-Sha, K-Sha, and S-Sha can get up to, it's not hard to argue the point.
- Power Fist: Her weapon of choice is her fists, and her equippable weapons consist of gauntlets and orbs attached to her gloves.
- Power Gives You Wings: Gains a pair of blue-and-gold bat wings in her Gold Form.
- The Scapegoat: She has a nightmare where Lowee blames her for the license system that she's been trying to stop, and go as far as demand her execution for it.
- Supreme Chef: Crosses between this and One Note Chef. On one hand, she can prepare roasted meat worthy of the title of "Master Roastie". On the other, it's the only kind of food she's seen preparing.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Such a speech from Financier gets her out of her misanthropic mindset during her captivity. It takes Kurome forcibly possessing her to make her fight Blanc.
B-Sha
B-Sha
- "It'll be 1,000 Credits for helping you out one time! Thanks for your business!"Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu (Japanese), Corina Boettger (English)
An excitable girl who loves toy robots and money. After Gamindustri's rewrite, she became the leader of Planeptune, though she proves as averse to adminsitrative work as its original leader Neptune, who quickly befriends B-Sha despite taking her rightful place. She enjoys playing the role of a superhero under the flimsy guise of "Presto Mask" (though rescuees who aren't children are expected to pay up), but suffers from a crippling fear of monsters.
- Badass Adorable: Surprisingly powerful compared to her frail appearance.
- BFG: She wields a recoil-less rifle that's almost as long as she is tall. It becomes a rocket launcher in her Gold Form.
- Birds of a Feather: She and Neptune have by far the fastest and easiest friendship of all the CPU-Gold Third pairings, as both are friendly, fun-loving people who don't like working but love helping others. Neptune's impression of her nominal usurper is helped by finding her Planeptune practically no different from how she left it and seeing B-Sha's earnest if inefectual superheroism. Their relationship is essentially the same as Neptune's with Plutia, except they spend more time playing together than napping. B-Sha even makes it a point to exempt Neptune from her habit of charging people money for everything.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Kurome briefly brainwashes her into seeing everyone around her as monsters, then sics her and the transformed Warechu on Planeptune. She gets better after a fight and a pep talk.
- Chekhov's Gun: She's the only Gold Third member to not visit her tower at the end of Neptune's arc and shatter her Gold Third crystal. The bulk of it ends up being used as the source for the CPUs Next Form.
- Face Your Fears: Kurome decides to "help" her overcome her fear of monsters by brainwashing her to become hyper-aggressive toward them, while also making her view Neptune's group as monsters that need to be eliminated to save the children of Planeptune. After their "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight, Purple Heart convinces her to just accept her fear as natural while continuing to protect others.
- Friend to All Children: Kids are exempt from paying for her heroics. The frightened screams of Planeptune's children while monsters run amok help break her out of Kurome's brainwashing.
- Girlish Pigtails: Her twintails mark her as the most playful and immature member of Gold Third.
- Guest-Star Party Member: Briefly joins Neptune's party at the end of Neptune's arc against a Brainwashed and Crazy Warechu as Neptune's Final Boss in her arc. B-Sha permanently joins later during the H-Arc.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's a young blond girl who's very dedicated to heroics (even if there's a price tag on it).
- Mini-Mecha: The Bandam that she summons in some of her SP skills and her Limit Break.
- "Just Joking" Justification: When asked for consent to sacrifice her Gold Crystal (and much of her power) to create a Hyper Share Crystal for the CPUs, B-Sha agrees... while attaching a hefty price. After getting annoyed glares from her three teammates, she hastily passes it off as a joke, admitting that repaying Neptune matters more to her than her powers.
- Modesty Shorts: Unlike nearly everyone else, B-Sha wears shorts under her dress.
- Money Fetish: B-Sha loves money, to the point of requesting a payment for everything the payer gives her. However, she notably always exempts Neptune from any payment.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: The only thing separating her from being B-Sha and being Presto Mask is... well, a mask that only covers her eyes. Lampshaded, as no one is fooled. No one. Literally no one, not even the random NPCs. Everyone knows it's her but say nothing in order to let B-Sha enjoy herself.
- Pie-Eyed: Her irises have a small triangle where her sclera cut in. She also gets the classic black ovals with these when surprised, likely a reference to Pac-Man.
- The Pollyanna: Despite being a bit of a coward towards monsters, she never seems to lose her energetic nature.
- Secret Identity: As Presto Mask, helping Planeptune residents from monsters. However, it's actually something of an open secret in Planeptune because it's such a Paper-Thin Disguise.
- Security Blanket: She freaks out when she sees Warechu, despite easily defeating him as Presto Mask. She eventually realizes that she's hiding behind her mask and throws it away to change herself.
- The Slacker: Unfortunately for Histoire, B-Sha isn't much of an improvement over Neptune in terms of work ethic, especially when they play together.
- Why Did It Have to Be Monsters?: Despite being regarded as a hero by Planeptune residents, she is afraid of monsters, having been she was attacked by one when she was little. Neptune' motivation to help her overcome this makes the two bond despite everything that had happened previously.
S-Sha
S-Sha
- "Control of Gamindustri? ...Not interested."Voiced by: Maaya Uchida (Japanese), Danielle McRae (English)
The least sociable member of Gold Third, dismissing almost everything with "not interested". She has two strangely humanoid Dogoos as her servants. After Gamindustri's rewrite, she takes leadership of Leanbox, enlisting its rightful leader Vert into her army SOLDIER to deal with potential threats to the nation. Her goals are ultimately unconcerned with Leanbox's security so much as saving someone important to her...
- Always Save the Girl: Her plan was to implant her soul into another vessel so the body of E-Sha wouldn't deteriorate, knowing full well that such a process would prove difficult and costly. While she is reluctant to resort to sacrificing one million ran-pigs after her plan to use the "Demon King" (really a Zero Dimension monster) fell through, she is still willing to do so if it meant E-Sha would live, despite E-Sha begging her to stop. Once she realizes Arfoire and Kurome lied to her though, she immediately abandons the plan.
- Bad Boss: Mostly towards humanoid Dogoos, particularly the Dogoo Man, whom she uses as a chair in her first on-screen appearance. That said, she does appreciate them for their loyalty. E-Sha, in contrast, is close friends with Dogoos. She also doesn't show much open care for the hundreds of thousands of Leanbox Soldiers turned into ran-pigs and leaves Vert to take care of them and even intended (if reluctantly) to sacrifice them all when her plans for the so-called Demon King fell through.
- Berserk Button: Her combat lines point towards getting hurt being one for her, with her threatening to kill anybody who tries. It's because she's in E-Sha's body instead of her own. She's more upset at the thought of E-Sha getting attacked than at the potential of being hurt herself.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Averted. She's the only Gold Third who isn't brainwashed by Kurome to attack the CPUs. Kurome simply uses the threat of E-Sha's life ending along with simple manipulation to force her into doing what she does to prevent it.
- Character Catchphrase: As mentioned above, she has a habit of voicing her lack of interest in a given subject. It's to the point that when she does vocally decide to do something (i.e. save the Brainwashed and Crazy CPUs), C-Sha notes she didn't expect the "Disinterested Diva" to get involved willingly.
- Cool Crown: Part of her Gold Form's additional apparel is a golden crown, worn lopsided to emulate Sora's.
- Cool Shades: Occasionally shown wearing them in cutscenes, usually in public.
- Even Evil Has Standards: As mentioned in the quote above, she has no interest in ruling Gamindustri despite challenging the CPUs for their positions. In fact, when Vert demands control of Leanbox after defeating the "Demon King", she plainly states she can have it.
- Eyes Are Mental: E-Sha's eye color is green and the signal she's in control of their body.
- False Flag Operation: The "outside invaders" attacking Leanbox were in fact manufactured robots created in Leanbox factories using parts from the other nations, which S-Sha used to train the Soldiers and put them in a position where they would end up cursed into ran-pigs.
- Identical Twins: What the relationship between S-Sha and E-Sha appears to be on the surface, sans eye color. The truth is a bit more complicated than that.
- Meteor-Summoning Attack: She drops a meteor with a Badass Fingersnap at the end of her Limit Break, but only if she's in her Super Mode.
- Ms. Imagination: Not as prevalent as Uzume, as S-Sha actually can keep a lid on it and doesn't break her usual stoic character when she does, but she does have moments of fantasizing out loud that leave others puzzled.
- My Greatest Failure: She attempted to make a movie in the past. It... didn't go so well. In fact, it almost caused the original S-Sha to die before E-Sha stepped in to take S-Sha's soul into her body.
- Our Souls Are Different: Normally, S-Sha is the one in control of their body except when she's asleep; however, within the Golden Summit E-Sha can temporarily manifest as a spirit separate from her body, which she uses to make contact with Vert and Nepgear.
- Outside-Context Problem: E-Sha ends up pulling this off twice in Game Maker. The first time is when the group is trapped in the Immersion-kun ProMAX, as it being a virtual world gives her the ability to have a body of her own to guide Victory to where all of the abducted people are being held while posing as one of the mindless copies of the Gold Third to fly under the Pirate Makers' radar. The second time is when the Zaikopath steals S-Sha's soul, E-Sha is there to continue the fight in their body and buys Reedio enough time to find the creature's real body.
- Power Gives You Wings: Or more specifically, one feathered wing, ala Sephiroth.
- Possession Burnout: While E-Sha Sharing a Body with S-Sha worked in the short term, S-Sha notes that the human body wasn't meant to hold two souls at once, and her body is slowly breaking down as a consequence. S-Sha's main goal since was to find a suitable body that she could transfer her soul into and thus save E-Sha. Of course, it turns out this was all a lie used by Kurome.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her eyes are crimson red, and though she's more apathetic than anything, make her mad and she will end you. It's also the only way to tell that S-Sha is in control of the body at the time.
- Sharing a Body: The body actually contains two souls, S-Sha's and E-Sha's. Additionally, the body is E-Sha's, but S-Sha is the dominant personality.
- Shrinking Violet: This mainly applies to E-Sha, who usually can only answer questions with 'yes' or 'no' if she's uncomfortable with the person in question. In her first conversation with Vert and Nepgear, she resorted to sending texts when she needed to give more detail, even though the recipients were right in front of her.
- The Stoic: She's "not interested" in much of anything.
- Talking with Signs: How E-Sha usually communicates in long conversations, specifically with texting.
- Undying Loyalty: Toward E-Sha, to the point of trying to sacrifice herself when she was convinced that her soul was wearing out E-Sha's body. Nepgear eventually figures out that she can get past S-Sha's "not interested" by redirecting her requests at E-Sha, knowing that S-Sha will have to go along with it.
K-Sha
K-Sha
- "This is K-Sha. I have successfully infiltrated the destination point. I will now continue the mission."Voiced by: Rina Hidaka (Japanese), Abby Trott (English)
An academically and athletically gifted student at Lastation's School for Girls who is secretly a trained mercenary. After Gamindustri's rewrite, she became the leader of Lastation, but slipped out of the position to enjoy a free life, allowing her former organization to take control in her absence. She develops a friendship with the nation's original leader Noire that soon turns into infatuation, but she soon starts to feel that Noire's sister Uni is in the way...
- Academic Athlete: In addition to being a trained assassin, during her time at Lastation's School for Girls, she had also studied for both scholarships and physical activities.
- Ax-Crazy: She starts to become unhinged when she thinks Uni hinders her relationship with Noire and attempts to kill her, although this is downplayed. Thankfully, both Noire and Uni managed to snap her out of it; although Uni was scared a little bit.
- Badass Adorable: She's a deadly mercenary under the guise of an ordinary schoolgirl.
- Badass Boast: Says Gray Fox's infamous "a cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal" quote in the fight to recruit her during the third arc when she's at 50% health.
- BFG: She has a railgun in her Super Mode that she fires at the end of her Limit Break.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She acts all friendly and polite towards Noire, but is inwardly a Yandere who threatened to kill Uni if she got in the way of her "girlfriend".
- The Chains of Commanding: She originally didn't want the responsibility of ruling Lastation, though she eventually steps in so she can end the Order's stranglehold in the Basilicom.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Really doesn't like it when Noire pays attention to anyone other than her.
- Contralto of Strength: Her high, cheery voice goes down several octaves the moment she picks up a weapon.
- Eyepatch of Power: Wears one over her left eye in Gold Form, likely as a reference to Big Boss.
- Guns Akimbo: Her weapons of choice are a pair of sub-machine guns.
- Gun Nut: In one cutscene, she and Uni have an intense discussion on how to best modify the latter's weapon.
- Hidden Depths: Her bio states that she is good at rhythm games.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: As a member of the Order, K-Sha realized that she wanted a normal life and ended up leaving them. Also, when reality is rewritten so that the Gold Third rules Gamindustri, she initially left politics to the Basilicom so she could continue her normal student life.
- In Love with the Mark: She was initially tasked with assassinating Noire to ensure that the CPU couldn't regain her Basilicom, but soon grew to admire and even develop a crush on her from watching Noire's dedication toward her former citizens.
- Madness Mantra: After getting brainwashed, she rants about how killing Uni will keep Noire's eyes on her forever and ever. She repeats the last two lines for the remainder of the scene until she regains control of her mind.
- More than Mind Control: Kurome uses a combination of a Breaking Speech and Negative Energy infusion to drive K-Sha mad.
- Murder the Hypotenuse: Tries to kill Uni, whom she regards as getting between her and Noire. It's instigated by Kurome.
- My God, What Have I Done?: After Noire and Uni snap her out of her brainwashing, K-sha expresses remorse for all the trouble she's caused and decides to part ways, but Noire still considers her too close a friend to let that happen.
- An Odd Place to Sleep: An event with Noire shows that K-Sha finds sleeping in carboard boxes to be relaxing.
- Tyke Bomb: She was raised by the "Order", a group of mercenaries who engage in War for Fun and Profit, though she ends up defecting. Unfortunately, they still try to force K-Sha into working for them and attack her Golden Summit when she doesn't comply.
- Villainous Crush: For a given value of 'villainous'. After befriending Noire, she secretly harbors an obsession towards her, which eventually develops into a full-on case of Love Makes You Crazy.
- What You Are in the Dark: As Kurome points out to K-Sha when she decides to use her blood to make the antidote to the Order virus killing Uni, the fact that Noire doesn't know she can do this would be the perfect time to commit Murder by Inaction and be the close friend who helps Noire through the grief of losing her sister. K-Sha is sorely tempted but saves Uni anyways...but the inner struggle is the final tipping point Kurome needs to push K-Sha into full-blown brainwashed Yandere mode.
- Yandere: She starts off as a sweet woman who helps Noire by hiding from her nation's police force, but later degrades into a Clingy Jealous Girl, and the to a battle-hardened Ax-Crazy, akin to Raiden's "Jack the Ripper" persona due to her troubled backstory and Kurome's psychological warfare. K-Sha clearly realizes how unstable she is and tries to cope, going as far as dueling Noire with the intention of venting their issues so they can start over. Kurome has to resort to total brainwashing to get her to snap.
Others
F-Sha
F-Sha
- Voiced by: Mana Nakatomi (Japanese), TBA (English)
A wandering swordswoman hunting down the source of the cursed discs, F-Sha is also the only known employee of the legendary company F-Software with the world eagerly awaiting the release of her new AAA Game "Elel Ring". She holds a deep grudge against Victory, but refuses to explain why.
- Anti-Hero: F-Sha's entire goal throughout the game is to find and destroy the cursed game discs, a virus created by Zaikopath that can make anyone who touches it go insane. She is, however, far less amiable than the other heroines due to her withdrawn demeanor, but nonetheless has a strong sense of dignity and compassion towards her allies, especially later on.
- BFS: She carries a sword that, while not huge, is twice the size as her. One cutscene has her readying her sword at Older Neptune and the Failure Goddesses with a menacing look on her face.
- Contralto of Strength: As shown in the trailers and game proper, F-Sha speaks in a deep, somewhat boyish voice to highlight her toughness.
- Dark Is Not Evil: At first glance, F-Sha is an intimidating hardass in a suit of grey armour, is shown working with Croire at the beginning of the game, and whose Battle Aura is mostly made up of dark energy. In reality, though a very no-nonsense person, she's actually trying to save the world from Zaikopath, an Eldritch Abomination responsible for the creation of the cursed game discs — an artifact that she wants to demolish, and her initial antagonism towards the Failure Goddesses stems from the fact that they accidentally created Zaikopath in the first place.
- Doomed Hometown: Originally her home was on an island south of Planeptune, but it was destroyed when the Failure Goddesses accidentally created the Zaikopath. This is why she's so violently opposed to allowing Victory to exist.
- Dueling Works: In-Universe, F-Sha's Elel Ring is developed similarly to Victory's Mushikaiser and planned to release at the same time in order to completely crush them using her superior access to advertising and status as a legendary Maker since she can't manage to beat them in a normal fight.
- Friendly Enemy: Despite being a rival Maker, she often leaves notes explaining various dungeon gimmicks or warning of a strong enemy ahead for anyone else who may be passing through on the way to a Sales Area when it would be in her company's best interest to let these things filter out the competition instead.
- Hero Antagonist: She opposes the Faliure Goddesses only because they were indirectly responsible for the birth of Zaikopath, who then proceeded to created cursed game discs that can exacerbate the victim's emotions to dangerous extremes, and the destruction of her hometown. Other than that, she's merely an Aloof Ally who doesn't pose any malice to the other heroines, and eventually learns to respect the Faliure Goddesses.
- Honorary True Companion: She's not technically a member of the Gold Third, however she is on good terms with them, is actively working toward the same goal, and is quick to jump to their aid when she learns that they're in danger. As far as the story is concerned, she's just another Maker who has simply become a Living Legend and shares a naming theme with the Gold Third. She does, however, end up officially joining the group after the Zaikopath incident is resolved but before Croire herself is dealt with.
- Meaningful Name: Much like the other Gold Third members, the first initial of her name is derived from FromSoftware, the company she's based on, while the "-Sha" is a reference to kabushiki gaisha, which means "company Ltd." in Japanese.
- Moe Anthropomorphism: Like the other Gold Third members, she's based on FromSoftware, a triple A Japanese video game developer known for critically and commercially acclaimed titles like the Dark Souls franchise, Bloodborne, Armored Core, and Elden Ring. She wears a grey suit of armour and is equipped with a huge sword, which is a recurring trait that most characters from Dark Souls have.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: F-Sha has dark red eyes, and starts off as being cold and antagonistic to the heroines, posing a threatening aura when carrying her sword.
- Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: After obtaining the necessary amount of Negative Energy by ruining Arfoire's company Croire reveals the second necessary component to unseal the Zaikopath, its Master Disc. This is the true Cursed Disc that she had been trying to find, only for Croire to point out she'd never have been able to find it because it was in her and then pulls it out of her to release the Zaikopath.
- The Stoic: She comes off as an Emotionless Girl who speaks in a deep contralto, but is also very serious and composed, rarely losing her cool and often serving The Comically Serious in the more comedic moments.
- Tomboyish Ponytail: She has a long ponytail to emphasize her stoic badassery.
