looks like the Char Clone trope has been reduced to a disambiguation.


* CharClone:
** He checks all three boxes. He's the armor clad ArchEnemy to one of the protagonists whose true face is never shown and also has an estranged family member working with the good guys. Momochi was also a mentor of Asagi mirroring that of Char's time as [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro Bajeena]] and presently, his plot of unleashing a global zombie apocalypse mirrors Char's [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack own attempt]] to forcibly evolve humans into Newtypes by dropping Axis into Earth out of a misguided attempt to right humanity's wrongs. Chapter 15 also reveals that he also plans to expose Nomad and all of demonkind to the world brings to mind Char's Day of Dakar speech where he exposes the evils of the Earth Federation through the atrocities committed by the Titans.
** Momochi shares a few similarities to another CharClone: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Rau Le Creuset]]. Both even have an OmnicidalManiac endgame to justify their nihilistic worldview and even has a tendency of [[BreakThemByTalking breaking the heroes by talking]]. And like Rau, Momochi's progressive psychological breakdown is fueled by a very-literal physical breakdown.



* CharClone: A more literal example, as she always keeps her mask on and is never seen without it. It also helps that she is a higher-ranking Taimanin almost superior to even Asagi herself.

** Played out humorously in Merci's Intimacy Event. She had a habit of claiming Kotaro's bed as hers, stealing his lunch right beside him, and finding and using his allowance on her own. Fuuma was going easy on Merci because she's a girl but is reaches his limit when she lies on her bed on time too many. Merci just mocks him causing him to scream in frustration and a struggle to get her off the bed ensues.

* OnlySaneMan: Being the only man in charge of the Taimanin task force, which consists of mostly female ninjas on the frontlines with otherworldly associates with their own fair share of quirks, Fuuma is generally more reasonable and level-headed even when under pressure, and rarely reacts with foul temper, especially in certain Intimacy episodes.

* BadassTeacher: Any of the faculty members of Gosha Academy that are also Taimanins qualify as such.



* LivingLegend: Her reputation as the Almighty Taimanin is already spoken of as a lore among other Taimanins.



* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a very approachable NiceGirl as she's also a strict teacher. As her playable Intimacy Event shows, making her angry can lead to catastrophic results as her cousin Shikanosuke witnessed firsthand.

* CoolBigSis: Rin is very close to her cousin as if she is his big sister.



* CostumeEvolution: Rin is so far the only Taimanin to undergo a change in her overall costume. Trading her leotard carried over from ''RPGX'' for a form-fitting battlesuit. Then again, per ''Taimanin'' series standard, her new outfit still has the usual SexyBacklessOutfit.

->''"I, Merci, have no limits, meow!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaAsumi

Cait Sith, the fairy cat. She was once a normal cat, looked after by a gruff old lady. After the old lady's death, she was taken to the demon realm by a Cait Sith that lived among humans and became a fairy. She stayed in the demon realm for quite a while but never got used to it, and returned to the human world.

The old lady was once rich but lost her all wealth due to a scam, and she froze to death on the street with a pile of debt left behind. She uses the name "Merci" because it was what the old lady muttered in her last words, who had always call her "cat". She is greedy when it comes to making money, possibly because of the influence of her former owner, so she uses every way to extort money from people.

She doesn't usually fight in the frontline, but rather taunts enemies and escapes to survive. When she has no other option but to fight, she takes up a fight using her flexible, elastic body.
--
* CatGirl: Merci's time in the Demon Realm transformed her from a normal cat into a cat with a human body.
* FreudianExcuse: Merci's late owner may have influenced the former's love for many, as the owner was rich before losing her wealth due to a scam.
* {{Greed}}: Merci is so greedy that equipping her increases the chance of obtaining a special item as well as the amount of gold obtained when completing quests.

* CharacterDevelopment: An off-screen example. In both Lapis' playable and supporter Intimacy episodes, Spinel is also shown to be a more responsible captain despite being AuthorityInNameOnly. She has better social skills with her interactions with Fuuma in her supporter's Intimacy episode. In chapter 21, she opted to retreat instead of taking the task force head on, showing that despite letting Lapis take charge as her second-in-command, Spinel avoids making bad decisions that put the lives of her fellow mercenaries in danger.

** What's more, unlike Saika, who uses "Waka-sama" for "Master" (meaning "young master" like Alfred uses toward Bruce Wayne), Tokiko chooses to use "Oyakata-sama", which uses kanji roughly translating to "the way of the parent" and has connotations closer to "the one who provides for me" or "the one who gave me everything", and when not used where that form of address is traditional and expected (such as for masters of certain traditional arts like bonsai), has connotations of intense devotion and gratitude.

* LasciviousBeautyMark: Has one of these placed in the traditional spot just below the corner of her mouth to emphasize her role as a SexySecretary, just like the SultryBangs mentioned below.

* ClothingSwitch: Every playable character has a craftable outfit that's another playable character's basic costume, typically one closely related to them. For example, Murasaki and Emily can craft Asagi's outfit as a sign of their admiration/obsession towards her. In many cases, this serves as a preview for characters who aren't playable yet but are planned to be.

* MeaningfulName: Noah Brown was created from a chimerization of many demons' cells, but most prominently Edwin Black, who is implied to have wanted an heir and to have disowned her, at least partially, when she did not live up to her full potential in his eyes. Astaroth has compared her becoming the full-powered demon she was intended to be as her becoming "black" instead of remaining "brown."

It also contrasts with {{Naginatas|AreFeminine}}, further emphasizing [[EvilCounterpart Lapis]]'s similarities to Shiranui.
