History Characters / BrynhildrInTheDarkness

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is her last name Hatsuda or Hatta?

* MultiEthnicName: She's half-Japanese and half-Austrian, therefore she has a Japanese given name and an Austrian surname.

* ClingyJealousGirl: After developing feelings for Ryouta, she often subconsciously destroys things with her power without meaning to when other girls, mainly Kazumi, get too close to him.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: A tankobon cover had her feet up to the viewer's position, and she already had a lustful personality in the manga proper, so the anime used {{Flanderization}} whenever they got the chance.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She goes barefooted in one of her first appearances, but later wears shoes and socks.

* PeekABangs: His hair covers his right eye.

* PeekABangs: Her right eye is always covered by her hair.

* KansaiRegionalDialect: She isn't from the Kansai region, but her father did, and she copied his speech pattern. The English dub doesn't give it the AccentAdaptation, however.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Has a rather deep voice.

* ContraltoOfDanger: For the few words she says at least; which are pretty much only the number of targets she has eliminated.

* GagBoobs: Most of her {{Fanservice}} scenes involve her breasts.

* DynamicEntry: Ryouta does one in chapter 83, flying in feet first to kick Ichijiku in the head in his attempt to save Kuroha from Valkyria.
** Considering this is used in all three of Creator/LynnOkamoto's manga series (including being in the same direction and being a full double page), this may count as a SignatureStyle.

* NotDistractedByTheSexy: In episode 9, he suddenly enters the hot spring to warn the girls from an assassin, despite he knows that they are bathing in it. Of course, the girls are scared by this, but he completely ignores them and says "There is no time for this" with totally serious face (it's not even red).
** In the manga he says "Shut up! You're [bathing] too slow!" instead.

* MsFanservice: Specifically, she seems at least partially designed to appeal to foot and leg fetishists, given how often shots seem to focus on those parts of her body. In addition, she is often seen with her shoes and socks removed. The manga's cover is particularly unsubtle about it.
** In later manga chapters, it's revealed that it's actually ''Kazumi'' who's a foot fetishist after Murakami mentions that she isn't wearing shoes, and she asks him if he wants a footjob.
-->Ryouta: "Wha-?! [[NoJustNoReaction Where did you learn that word?!]]"

* UnexplainedRecovery: In episode 13. [[spoiler:The last time we see her, she's bleeding out. Then she's okay again when the epilogue scenes roll.]] It's explained in the manga since Hatsuna is also there.
** The Blu-ray version of episode 13 does explain that Hatsuna healed her.

* SweetTooth

* WeHaveReserves: Soldiers, researchers, witches, it doesn't matter. Everybody is expendable.
** Chapter 165. [[spoiler:Machina, the keystone in their plan for slaying god and their most powerful creation, has a backup: Ryota.]]

* PetTheDog: Shows genuine guilt when confessing that he caused Skadi to die in vain.

--->Miki: "He's killed so many people that he has to keep on killing. Otherwise, all the deaths he's caused will be meaningless."

-->"''I'm Kogorou Hashiratani. [Ryouta's] uncle. 32 years old, single. I'm not single because I'm not popular. It's because I hate women. Women are stupid.''"

** TheBusCameBack: He was seen speaking with Kana in chapter 159. He only stuck around long enough to learn of Mina's death, and say that he's too much of a DirtyCoward to tangle with Vingulf before leaving again.

* SheCleansUpNicely: When she shows up wearing ordinary street clothing in chapter 136, Ryouta and the other girls are shocked that she actually looks nice in them. Kana also teases her about being a ChristmasCake.

* TheChick: Along with Kotori in the first part of the series, due to her disability and being only able to support them with her precognition powers. [[spoiler:Becomes TheBigGirl in the second part.]]

* TheChick: After [[spoiler:Kotori's death and Kana becoming TheBigGirl]], she joins the Astronomy Club as TheChick, due to her healing abilities.

* TheSixthRanger: She isn't a main character and a member of the group until [[spoiler:Kotori's captivity]]. A month later, she's TheChick.

%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is.* BerserkButton: Don't mess with her poor memory or that she does not know things. Or flirting with Ryouta.

* TheChick: Along with Kana, due to her pure supportive magic power.

* DissonantSerenity: As Kuroneko she's only got two modes. A silly grin that goes right into UncannyValley, and a grim scowl.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: He delivers one to Valkyria after the latter escapes from the witches he sent to watch over her, and it is the audience's first hint that their relationship is complicated when she ''doesn't'' immediately kill him.

* CasualDangerDialogue: In chapter 128, Vingulf is yet working on another witch, which Onodera claims is the most dangerous one yet, one which no human can control. Said witch then teleports into the room she and the scientists are in, and begins casting an antimatter attack similar to Valkyria. [[spoiler:Onodera, though surprised, and thrilled, at first, just cancels the witch's antimatter attack, and follows up with an ArmorPiercingSlap towards her, showing no fear whatsoever at this most dangerous creature.]]

* HappinessInSlavery: Valkyria, for all of her murderous intents, is completely subservient to Ichijiku, who manages to bring her back under control with a simple ArmorPiercingSlap.

* HotScientist: She's an attractive looking scientist with the largest breasts in the series, wears a miniskirt and provides MaleGaze at least twice in her introductory chapter.

* {{Gainaxing}}: In chapter 108, when she and Kitsuka do exercise before going swimming, Kana's not so big breasts jiggles, causing an ACupAngst reaction to Kitsuka.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Often happens to her.

!!!Voiced by: Creator/TatsuhisaSuzuki (Japanese), Ty Mahany (English)

* BerserkButton: Don't mess with her poor memory or that she does not know things. Or threatening her friends or flirting with Ryouta.

* BerserkButton: Kotori seems to lose it in chapter 86 after Ichijiku threatens to kill Ryouta, and Valkyria claims to have killed several other witches, [[spoiler:specifically by blowing Hatsuna to LudicrousGibs, and beheading Kazumi.]]

* BerserkButton: If you do not greet her, bad things will happen to you, unless you're lucky.

* RedHerring: Kotori is introduced under circumstances that make her look like another assassin, but turns out to be telling the truth when she calls it a crazy coincidence that she ended up joining a club full of witches. Kana's premonition of her smiling of Neko's corpse just happened to be miss the detail of her not being the one to commit the murder.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: She can teleport a single person once before hanging up. Interestingly, her power resets kinetic energy, which she unknowingly uses to save a falling Murakami.

* YouNeverAsked: She has a nasty habit of not giving Ryouta extremely important information until he himself has already come to the conclusion. Though in a rare case it isn't because she is a JerkAss, but because she is TheDitz.

* CryCute: When Ryouta mentions the third piece of cake he brought was for him, Kuroha starts to shed tears. Kana then berates him for making her cry, and he decides to let them have the cake instead.

* CryCute: Kazumi does this [[spoiler:after Ryouta tells them the lab he took the pill to can't synthesize it for at least half a year, and they only have about a month's worth of pills left.]] She does it again in chapter 139 shortly after giving him another AnguishedDeclarationOfLove. She attempts to put on a brave front, but can't hold back her emotions for long due to being a HopelessSuitor.

* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler:After regaining the ability to move, this cute doll-like girl becomes a KnifeNut that won't hesitate to try to slash your throat.]]

* KnifeNut: [[spoiler:Since she regained her ability to move in exchange for her precognition powers, Kana uses knives as her main weapon. Of course, having no special abilities beyond her now lost precog abilities, a knife is her only effective form of attack.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Goes from the paralyzed and weak doll-like girl who can only move her fingers to strong and skilled KnifeNut after she regains the ability to move and starts training.]]

* NiceHat
* OpaqueLenses: Not always.

* GravityMaster: Neko seems to display either this or a form of telekinesis, as she smashes Ryouta with a shelf in episode 5. [[spoiler:Kuroneko takes this trope UpToEleven, as she is able to create ''micro black holes''.]]

* DoesNotLikeShoes: A tankobon cover had her feet up to the viewer's position, and she already had a lustful personality in the manga proper, so the anime ended up taking this UpToEleven a la {{Flanderization}} whenever they got the chance.

* AlmostDeadGuy: Already pretty blatant in the manga, but taken UpToEleven in the anime near the end of the Valkyria arc. In the manga [[spoiler:Ryota has to eject Kotori himself to stop Grane's hatching, after which Kotori talks for several minutes before completely melting]]. In the anime, [[spoiler:Ryota arrives almost ''an hour'' after she ejected herself, yet she can still talk to him.]]

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Hatsuna takes this [[UpToEleven Up To Eleven]]. Her power is regeneration, so it's impossible to permanently kill her. When she gets cut in two by Valkyria, her reaction is pretty much 'okay, walk it off, walk it off'. And in chapter 105, when Ryouta asks her how her day went, she just nonchalantly says that some truck hit her in a remote area.

** It gets taken UpToEleven in chapter 165. [[spoiler:Machina, the keystone in their plan for slaying god and their most powerful creation, has a backup: Ryota.]]

* InsufferableGenius: Played UpToEleven. He tells Ryouta that he's been offered a job by a prominent American pharmaceutical company, but doesn't want to leave Japan, and says if they wanted him that badly, they should open up a lab in town for him. Ryouta also didn't want to have to talk to him at all, but because of his expertise, he ends up visiting him to see if Kogorou can recreate the pills for the girls.

* BlindingBangs: Her eyes usually are hidden behind her hair.

* TheLancer: To Ryouta in the FiveManBand. She's the only girl with offensive magic powers, has a close, but dynamic relationship with Ryouta.
