* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She insists on sortieing from the ''Willgem'', forcing the crew to provide supporting fire before they fully understand how the antique ship operates and what needs to be repaired. As a result, one of the turrets overloads, killing the men inside in the explosion. Sochie is aghast when she figures this out after the battle.

Char Clone is no longer a trope (though I tried using a fitting replacement plus tweaking it), Administrivia.Chained Sinkhole, and Expy requires the character to be based on a character from a completely different work altogether.


* CharClone: In a variant, Harry is a ''Quattro Bajeena'' clone--in other words that one time Char had made a HeelFaceTurn. Unusually enough for [[Memes/{{Gundam}} a Char]], in the series, he has no hidden agenda (the first and so far, only, example in the franchise to have no real longterm goal) and only wishes to serve his Queen. He wears sun glasses instead of a masked helmet, pilots a golden mobile suit instead of a red one, and isn't villainous in any way. For the last part, this is despite the fact that he had an excuse to be written as such, due to his parents having been commoners on the moon who died due to not being provided with the best cryogenic technology. Despite taking on Char's role as TheRival and TheDragon for a good portion of the series his overall personality leans more towards Quattro's as well.



* {{Expy}}: Despite his initial appearances, he is not [[MemeticMutation A]] [[CharClone CHAR]] but [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam A QUATTRO]]. He shares the Zeta Gundam-era Char's use of a golden mobile suit and affinity for sunglasses.

* InconsistentSpelling: Most sources romanise his surname as "Rhineford", but Guin's family emblem in the anime itself is a giant "L" that presumably stands for "'L'''ineford".

Not only does this foreshadow the Dark History, [[spoiler: it also hints at his own past being different from other members of the Moonrace as well. Though he is not the only one to mention the word Gundam, he is the only one to mention having actual memories of it, making his eventual flashback to Wing Zero make even more sense]].

* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Dressing as "Laura" was not Loran's idea, but he goes along with minimal complaint. He takes training to pass as ProperLady seriously, and in the narration even admits he enjoyed spending time with Kihel in the process.

* BookOnTheHead - part of his training to be Laura Rolla is working on his posture using this trope.

* SecretIdentity: How "Laura Rolla" basically works. The Militia members who work with him, and certain civilians (Guin, the Heim sisters, Keith and Fran) are in on it out of necessity, but they keep up the act for propaganda and it's how Loran is able to contact the Moonrace without raising suspicions.
