* {{Foil}}: To both Ackt and Evianporial. While Ackt is heavily biased in favor of humanity being graded as DLPP and even gloats about it in her first meetings with her test subjects, Eravin has little stake in the matter, despite also being a meat eater, and tries to skirt around the issue in an attempt to keep her human captive calm, and only addressing the issue directly when they ask her about it. While she does harbor the same anti-carnivore prejudices as Evianporial, she does not let that get in the way of treating others fairly, especially since she was childhood friends with Ackt.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: When Ackt describes him, she describes him as being a strict, lawful kind of person. When he is exposed for illegally removing Ackt's venom glands, he angrily calls out Ackt for breaking protocol by letting Subject 50499-A out of their cell before they were approved. By this point, however, it's apparent that his only motivation is to ruin Ackt by any means possible.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: When Ackt describes him, she describes him as Evianporial isn't exactly wrong in his sentiment that carnivore species are too biased in favor of new species being classified as livestock. But his membership in a strict, lawful kind of person. When he is exposed for illegally removing Ackt's venom glands, he angrily calls out hate group, and his willingness to murder Victoria just to set Ackt for breaking protocol by letting Subject 50499-A out of their cell before they were approved. By this point, however, it's apparent off, negates any valid point that his only motivation is to ruin Ackt by any means possible.he might have.



* VillainHasAPoint: As elaborated on by Eravin Aumbra, there is a conspiracy amongst herbivores that carnivore species are so biased in favor of new species being classified as DLPP that they set the standards for sapience too high, a sentiment that Evianporial obviously shares, a sentiment that the viewer would find difficult to argue with. However, the fact that he was willing to murder Victoria just to set Ackt off negates this.

* NobleBigot: She doesn't dismiss the idea that the standards for sapience in her society have been set too high because of lobbying by carnivores, and implicitly admits that said conspiracy theory has merit. However, she's more than happy to arrest members of anti-carnivore hate groups like Evianporial.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Mother Macabre
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2022_12_10_205113.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:You're trying to anger me, aren't you? You're doing a damned good job!]]
An officer whose job it is to collect space junk and arrest pirates and other criminals in deep space. In the spinoff, she finds herself arresting a human astronaut in deep space, not realizing that she encountered a new species.
----
* FantasticRacism: Very much downplayed. She was one of Acktreal's childhood friends, but she doesn't exactly dismiss the possibility that carnivores are way too biased in favor of new species being graded as livestock for their own good. She even brings this up with her human captive, and it's unlikely that the viewer would disagree with such a notion, considering everything that happened in parts 1-14.
* GentleGiant: Even taller than Ackt, even.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is only a jerk to the astronaut because she has no idea what humans are, and assumes that they are lying or playing dumb because they can't understand her or are confused by what she does. She first assumes that they are a weird hybrid because she can't even tell what they are just by looking at them. It's only after running DNA and blood tests on her captive that she realizes that she's dealing with an entirely new species and that their confusion and fear is completely genuine.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: The last thing anyone would guess from looking at her is that she's some kind of officer or bounty hunter.

* AlienHair: Lampshaded by Ackt herself when she expresses amusement that Subject 50499-A keeps referring to it as "hair" when it's really sound-detecting flesh, made mostly of the same material that brains are made of but without the synapses. She even lets the human play with it as they sit in her lap.

However, she resigns from being an R9 researcher ever again, and it's strongly implied that they would have terminated or demoted her anyway. Instead, she does planet-side research and analysis, ensuring that she doesn't come into contact with anything that could mess her up again.]]

When they board the ship and start screaming at the rest of the crew, it becomes apparent, even before Thi-Karje turns her translator to English, that they intend to rob them of their biological specimens.

* CartesianKarma: Invoked when Ackt expresses concern that this could happen to her, even worse than simply getting fired. Even the very setup implies that she'll be punished for the things she did while feral, and therefore deprived of her moral agency. [[spoiler: It's mercifully subverted, as the worst thing that happens to her is that she is barred from doing research on an R9 ever again, especially since she decided to resign even if they still let her do so. They still trust her enough to let Subject 50499-A live with her as long as she stays on her meds.]]

* LivingMacGuffin: They become very important to the alien society after humans are given full rights as they want to make them an ambassador to Earth once they make official contact, Acktrealeven mentioning that they were the most important person on the ship. It's implied that this is due to the fact that they were still willing to forgive Acktreal and even love her despite what she did as which meant they would be willing to put in a good word for the society as a whole, Ackt even stating that they would have done anything to get them to say yes to their offer.

** She claims that her multispecies society has few problems with racism or sexism. This is implied to be false when Evianporial outright betrays her because of her species. [[spoiler: In part 13, Ackt admits that there's a great deal of racial tension between herbivore and carnivore species over the almost disastrous way in which they handled humanity. She is finally forced to admit that racism is still a serious problem in her society, as her own childhood was less than ideal for this very reason. And then in the hospital, a doctor gives Subject 50499-A an unsavory history lesson: Another species that gave off the same pheromones as humanity was specifically used as biological warfare in order to control and subjugate enxions.
