* GuiltComplex: Over whatever happened to the other Executors she fought with, how she could have possibly lost her important memories (not just ones from life, which everyone loses, but some from her time in Purgatory), and the psychological effect their quest might have on Authorities, even knowing [[KickTheSonOfABitch most of the Authorities deserve it]].

Anything That Moves is a disambiguation


* AllMenArePerverts: Hits on and/or leers at AnythingThatMoves, and when Esme accuses him of following her back to her dressing room [[WeNeedADistraction to create a distraction]], he replies that no, he was doing it [[DiggingYourselfDeeper to creep on her]].

Teens Are Short was renamed to Short Teens Tall Adults. The trope is not "one teen character happens to be short". There needs to be a comparison between multiple teens and multiple adults.


* TeensAreShort: While she's not quite the youngest of the Executors, she's still the shortest, standing at a whopping 145cm (or four foot, nine inches).

Dewicking disambig


* PeekABangs: Somehow, despite being a medical professional, has never seemed to realize that having her hair cover one eye might not be a great idea. Then again, that was probably way down the list of problems with her bedside manner, compared to all the mad science.

!![[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Sayaka Miki]]
!!!Ariel

Burdened by the sin of ''Pride''.

* BadassCape: Has a short cape on her Executor outfit.
* BigEater: Apparently thinks eating ''seven whole cakes'' isn't a big deal.
* BlueIsHeroic: Her hair, eyes and Executor outfit are all a royal, heroic blue, befitting her heroic nature.
* BoyishShortHair: Ariel is described as a tomboy and usually dresses the part, and she has short hair.
* TheCape: In canon, she was supposed to be a cruel deconstruction of this; here, her heroic ideals ''aren't'' treated as [[BeingGoodSucks pointless or destructive]], and she works hard to protect people.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her eyes and hair are the same shade of blue.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Commonly teases and trolls her friends, but it almost always blows up in her face and she ends up subjected to the same things (such as being dragged into Idol-ON and when she and Rei got forced into ImpossiblyTackyClothes).
* FashionableAsymmetry: She has a lopsided bob cut.
* TheGadfly: Ariel likes to tease the other Executors, generally in a good-natured sense, such as flattering Rei when the latter's nervousness threatens to make her run off and hide.
* HealingFactor: Has healing magic that can work even automatically, which she discovered when she slept off deadly poison.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Ariel's heroic ideals are her defining character trait, and she uses a sword as a weapon, resorting to it enough that, for a while, she didn't actually know if she ''had'' any magic.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She loves to tease the other Executors, but she can't take it herself.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Ariel is one of the younger Executors and is noted for her ideals.
* MeaningfulName: "Ariel" is a nod to her [[FairyTaleMotifs Little Mermaid allusions]] from canon.
* PlainJane: Type 1, as she tries to insist she's this when she gets drafted into Idol-ON, but no one buys it.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Ariel woke up in Purgatory in her school uniform and wears it often.
* TheBusCameBack: After being dropped from the game, she returns many layers later just in time to [[spoiler:rescue her fellow Executors.]]
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Either dresses in neutral clothes or in her girly uniforms, has an outgoing and sometimes rash personality, and gets really embarrassed about romance.

* CruelToBeKind: Claims that her intent to strip other Executors of their memories, powers, and duties is "a kindness" because, to hear her tell it, [[spoiler:they'll never be able to make it through the Cogs, much less repair them]].
* EvilCounterpart: To Rei. Both are small, mysterious girls who fight alone; while Rei was persuaded to start a team, Birdie not only still fights alone, but is determined to be the only Executor in all of Purgatory and reduce any others to base-level Spectres, by force if necessary. When we meet Birdie, she even looks like an evil PaletteSwap of Rei.



* EvilWeapon: The black sword she wields gives an immediate aura of wrongness that makes everyone instinctively avert their eyes. It's described as "an unsettling, unfathomably deep black that seems to suck in all the surrounding light and makes something in your soul flutter with some primal sense of alarm."

* TheDeadHaveNames: Medic remembers and notes down everything she can about the Executors they've lost ([[GameplayAndStoryIntegration to drops and idles]]), in hopes of finding them again someday and/or preventing what happened to them from happening to others. She considered all of them her friends.
