History Characters / BlueArchiveSRTSpecialAcademy

* CharacterDevelopment: At the start of Volume 4, RABBIT Squad is initially very distrustful of the Sensei and too proud to accept their charity. By the end of Volume 4, RABBIT Squad has gotten comfortable enough around Sensei that they have no issue making use of Schale's facilities when they need them.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: During Vol 4 Chapter 2 it is revealed that the origin of RABBIT Squad's name can be traced to Trinity Novel about [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail group of knights on a quest for the Holy Grail]]. The knights searching for the Holy Grail try to enter a cave guarded by a rabbit, [[KillerRabbit and it rips out their throats]]. Eventually, the knights throw a [[HolyHandGrenade grenade]] at the rabbit, and it ends up in little bits.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The four of them have little common ground other than being on the same team and pushing towards the same goal, otherwise they spend half the time at each other's throats. Despite this their superior weaponry and actual military training gives them a significant edge against the other schools; it takes Sensei stepping in to stop them. When Sensei starts siding ''with'' them and helps clean up their act, the [=RABBIT=] team tears through any opposition like a chainsaw through butter.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Downplayed in the way they are [[JustFollowingOrders not really evil]] and their standard does not stop them from committing terrorist attack under Kaya's order, but when [[spoiler: they find out that [[EvilIsPetty Kaya has sabotaged Sensei's supply of convenient store bento]], Niko, Kurumi and Otogi personally visit starving Sensei to deliver some inari sushi for their dinner.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: ''[[https://youtu.be/ZpRYJwPFbWY Usagi Flap]]'', even if it became more [[MemeticMutation associated with Aris]] in the ears of the player base. They get ''[[https://youtu.be/JuQOQ4okSJE?si=D1kjqCvAU949BRf2 Up to 21°C]]'' in the Summer SRT event to make up for it.

* CoolGuns: All of the platoon's members use Finnish weapons. Fitting for RABBIT's nature as a [[UsefulNotes/FinnsWithFearsomeForests well-equipped underdog fighting the poorly-equipped but numerically superior]] Valkyrie Police Academy.

* CoolGuns: Her weapon of choice is a Suomi KP/31 submachine gun, complete with a 71-round drum magazine.

* CoolGuns: A Lahti-Saloranta M/26 light machine gun fitted with a 20-round magazine.

* CoolGuns: A Mosin-Nagant outfitted with a PU Scope and white cloth wrappings on the scope and stock. Oddly, it lacks the Finnish Mosin's 'spitz' front sight and sports a straight bolt handle.

* CrazyPrepared: Part and parcel of them being professional is to have plans no matter the situation. [[spoiler:A crowning example of this is in [=V4C2=] Ep. 23, where they give RABBIT Squad a voice recording of Kaya rambling about her plans dating back to FOX's first mission under her, including recordings in the present, which implies they've been preparing to stop Kaya from the start even after they betrayed their code of conduct.]]

The General Student Council eventually decided to shut down the school and the decision to merge SRT with Valkyrie was made. However, not all students were satisfied with the decision and refused to transfer, holding a public protest within Usagi Park while continuing to live there.

* FireForgedFriends: When they first appear in [=V4C1=] Episode 2, there is no team spirit between them. Saki blames other members, Miyako's orders are ignored frequently, and Moe tells Kirino she is sick of being with the other members. However, as the story progresses, they forge a strong bond among themselves.

* RichesToRags: The main crux of Volume 4, Chapter 1; with SRT Academy closed down, their bank accounts have been frozen and they reject transferring to Valkyrie or any sort of help Sensei wants to provide, forcing them to camp out in Usagi Park and live with whatever they already have. With the glaring lack of daily necessities like food and bathing supplies though, they have resorted to eating expired bento boxes, bathing in drum cans and scrounging for equipment since then.

* CasualKink: Heavily implied in her Swimsuit's 2nd bond episode. She and Sensei go out on a boat to sea to simulate a rescue operation for a bound hostage (Sensei) on a boat... except she realizes there's no enemies to fight. She changes it to escape and escort, [[BoundAndGagged but leaves Sensei tied up]], just giving them an overly glad smile as she tells them it's to simulate real life.

* ShipTease: She's come a very long way from hating adults like Sensei after the events of Volume 4.
** One of her regular variant's bond level up lines is her saying she'll follow any order they give.

*** One interface line has her say she's been waiting for Sensei. When asked whether she got cold waiting, it's fine because the wait for Sensei is well worth seeing them again.

* RedOniBlueOni: HotBlooded Saki and IceQueen Miyako respectively.

* CuttingTheKnot: [[spoiler:In RABBIT Squad's battle against FOX Squad, Niko shuts down the main elevator, correctly deducing that Moe won't be able to use her hacking expertise to unlock it. What Niko doesn't take into account though, is that Moe is also an explosives expert and is perfectly willing to just blow up the elevator doors, which is exactly what she does]].

* TheChainsOfCommanding: Appeals to Miyako and tries to [[spoiler:get her to accept working under FOX against the GSC and SCHALE]] by offering to take the burden of leadership from her.

* FriendlySniper: As opposed to Miyu, Otogi is very warm and outgoing yet still excels at being FOX squad's sniper.

* StoneWall: She takes the Tank position as a Striker student, although she's underwhelming in terms of survivability when compared to the likes of Tsubaki, Hoshino, and Haruka; Miyako has high evasion and HP, her 3-cost EX Skill stuns a single enemy and has a passive that boosts defense when using her EX, her Normal Skill fires off a claymore for damage, and a Passive that boosts HP--all this only really suits her for Hod's Total Assault where inflicting Crowd Control is a must.
** Her Swimsuit variant has traded damage reduction for more evasion (her Normal Skill amplifies this more) and HP, with her 2-cost EX skill reduces critical damage resistance to an enemy and increasing cost regeneration after dodging a number of hits--her kit not just being great for Gregorius' Total Assault where debuffs are needed to damage the boss, but also on other contents where cost cycling or EX skill on bosses are needed, making sure she is not against enemies weak to her heavy armor.

** In [=V4C2E20=], their pessimism combined with being CrazyPrepared plays [[FatalFlaw a huge role]] [[spoiler:in their defeat against RABBIT Squad. The first flag is raised when Kurumi worries that the rabbits will dodge Otogi's covering shot, followed by Yukino acknowledging the possibility of their defeat and ordering their retreat should it happen. By contrast, Miyako tells everyone that there's no backup plan because she has full faith in her squadmates succeeding no matter what. In the battle proper, Saki sows doubts in Kurumi by implying Otogi not taking shots at her means she's already been taken down by Miyu, which terrifies Kurumi into calling her sniper only to find she's holding back just as Kurumi told her to... giving Saki her opening to gun her counterpart down; Otogi is then downed by Miyu sneaking up on her, who could have only been detected by Niko, except she's guarding the elevator as per Yukino's worst-case scenario insurance; finally, Niko underestimated Moe's propensity for destruction and her faith in her squadmates' resilience, having no countermeasures for the incoming explosives.]]

* BigRedButton: In her relationship stories, Moe talks about how she can't resist breaking taboos, such as pushing big conspicuous buttons she isn't supposed to. For example, she presses an emergency delete button that wipes out all of Schale's server data despite knowing exactly what would happen.
