History Characters / DeadFantasy

* DodgeThis: Seen during the freefall sequence in part 2, where she finally gets fed up with Kasumi's [[TeleportSpam teleport spamming]] and unloads both barrels at once, [[BulletHell in a highspeed hail of gunfire!]]

The female lead of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts''. Kairi appears alongside Rinoa as extra reinforcement for Team Final Fantasy, being an agile fighter dual-wielding Keyblades.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: One of her attacks has her spin into the ground.

* TookALevelInBadass: She has virtually no combat experience in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Kingdom Hearts II]]'', but in ''Dead Fantasy'', she may as well be Sora - right down to having his Drive Forms.
** And when she transforms into [[spoiler: Namine]] she's god-moded.

! Team VideoGame/DeadOrAlive

One of the party in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' and the {{Deuteragonist}} of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2''. Appears as her latter incarnation, like Yuna.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: She provides the page image for the DangerouslyShortSkirt trope for a reason.

The female lead of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. Appears in her later re-design, first appeared in ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren''.

* BareFistedMonk: For the most part, though she supplements her martial arts with Materia.

* DrunkenBoxing: She briefly switches to this style in part 2, while they're fighting on the lava flow. She cracks open a bottle of X-Potion by smashing it against Hitomi's head, and dodges Kasumi's tanto, which slices open the bottle of ether. Then proceeds to beat both of them senseless, along with Ayane, while downing both drinks in a scene straight out of ''The Drunken Master''.

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: She attempts to blind Hitomi in their Episode 3 fight. [[spoiler:Hitomi bounces back and wins the match]].

* KungFuWizard: Which is odd, considering [[BadassNormal she's never]] [[BareFistedMonk shown using magic]] in ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Final Fantasy's]]'' canon.

* LightningBruiser: She's easily the next strongest overall member of ''Final Fantasy's'' team, after Rinoa [[spoiler: Cloud and Namine.]]
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler: In Episode 5, she takes a bucketload of nasty injuries but keeps going. {{Justified}} by one bit of FridgeBrilliance: she had lost her materia in the previous fight with Hitomi, making her tougher.]]
* MagicKnight: Handy with magic and combat, [[spoiler:until Hitomi literally beats the materia out of her, depriving her of her magical powers]].

* [[ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself This is Something I Must Do Alone]]: During the flashback sequence in part 4, between her and [[spoiler: Cloud]]. She refuses [[spoiler: his]] help by backing away from [[spoiler: him]] and solemnly shakes her head, then asks him to trust her.

The female lead of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''. She appears to have been given a re-design by Montyoum himself, sporting a new fighting style, new weapons and new powers.

* CoolSword: Her gunblade, ''Vanishing Star''.
** {{BFS}}: Not a traditionally sized BFS, but still rather large.

* CurbStompBattle: Delivers one to Team DOA in Episode 2. They only manage to land a single blow on her throughout her entire appearance.

* DeadlyDisc: Her "blaster edge", ''Silenced Tear''. It appears to be some kind of shield-boomerang with a cutting edge.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* FeatherMotif
* LadyOfWar

* MagicKnight
* PowerGivesYouWings
* TookALevelInBadass: A lot of viewers were genuinely shocked by how powerful she is in this series, especially considering [[DamselScrappy her reputation]] from the game.

The female lead of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts''.

* DynamicEntry: Invoked at the climax of part 4, where [[spoiler: Cloud]] leaps from [[spoiler: Fenrir]] and mows down [[spoiler: a wave of [[DemonicSpiders Kasumi X clones]]]] with [[spoiler: his Blade Beam]] LimitBreak. During live screenings of the event, the moment he appeared, the crowd went wild ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf0VzRellrw at 3:50-4:05).]]

* WalkingSpoiler

The main protagonist of the ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive'' games.

%%* CoolSword

* FragileSpeedster: Her teleporting means she can cover incredible distances in a short time, but she can't take many hits.

* KiAttacks: Her ample use of energy blasts [[spoiler:(which her clones share)]] make her the "long range" fighter for her team, and put her directly at odds with the gunslinging Yuna.
* OneWomanArmy: Seen twice, in parts 2 and 5 respectively.

* TeleportSpam: Her favorite tactic, which she uses liberally during most of her fights, 'til Yuna [[DodgeThis gets sick of it]] and unleashes BulletHell on her with both guns.
* ZergRush: [[spoiler:With clones of herself in a fight with Yuna in Episode 4. They bring down Yuna's Aeons and Cloud has to step in and save the day]].

One of the player characters from ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive''.

One of the player characters from ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive''.

* BadassNormal: She's the only girl without any sort of supernatural ability, relying entirely on her strength and skill to overcome her opponents. Fortunately, she has both in good measure. Until...
** HandicappedBadass: Seen during her fight with Tifa, in part 3, where she gets hit with a blind spell. Guess what happens next: [[spoiler:she curbstomps Tifa, by literally beating the Materia out of her. Reducing her opponent to a human gumball machine.]]
* BareFistedMonk: Her fists and legs are the only weapons she needs.
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: See the InstantExpert entry below.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Taken to [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ryoga Hibiki]] level extremes. Hitomi can effortlessly smash stone columns and, as seen near the end of part 1, stomp the ground hard enough to send entire sections of it flying, then punch hard enough that the pieces carried two of her opponents out of the tower they were fighting in!
** This is one of several instances of Monty [[ArtisticLicense taking liberties]] with the characters. As in ''[[VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Dead or Alive's]]'' canon she isn't said to possess that level of physical strength, nor is she ever shown doing anything even remotely like any of what she does in ''Dead Fantasy''.

* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler: After Tifa hits her with a Blind spell, Hitomi switches from Karate to Wing Chun; a faster and more in-close fighting style that, in Hitomi's case, doesn't require sight to be effective.]]

* TheRival. To Tifa. Of all the rivalries in ''Dead Fantasy'', theirs is the fiercest and the one that's been given the most focus.
* SuperStrength: Covered under CharlesAtlasSuperpower.

The female lead from ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden''.

* DualWielding: Fights with two pistols, same as her Final Fantasy X-2 incarnation.

* TheGunslinger: Yuna's default job class and primary role in both ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2 Final Fantasy X-2]]'' and ''Dead Fantasy''.
** GunFu[=/=]GunKata: Her fighting style is clearly [[ShoutOut inspired by]] ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}''.
** LongRangeFighter: While she's capable of fighting in close quartes, she can't take much physical abuse and tires quickly. She's at her best when fighting from a distance, and when she's [[spoiler: using [[SummonMagic her summons.]]]]

* MoreDakka: Often. Most obvious example being the falling battle of Episode 2, where she saturates the entire area with lead to hit Kasumi.
* PimpedOutDress

[[folder:Spoiler chaarcter]]

A female ninja and shrine maiden from the VideoGames/NinjaGaiden series who makes her debut in Episode 5.

* LightningBruiser: Seen in part 5... if you're quick enough to spot it, that is. [[spoiler: Hayate]] delivers a punch so fast it literally amounts to [[FreezeFrameBonus "blink, and you'll miss it".]]

* VictoryByEndurance: Noted in the DirtyCoward entry.

* LeaveHimToMe: When [[spoiler: Namine]] summons [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Vincent Valentine]]]], [[spoiler: Ryu]] steps forward and draws his sword to face him.

* HighlyVisibleNinja: This is hardly any surprise, given she's wearing is skimpy blue and white outfit, and teleports all over the places amidst bright flashes of light and sakura petals.

* {{Badass}}: Too right she is.
** BadassNormal: She's the only girl without any sort of supernatural ability, relying entirely on her strength and skill to overcome her opponents. Fortunately, she has both in good measure. Until...

* {{Badass}}: [[spoiler:He downs Tifa in a single strike. Granted, she was greatly weakened, but it speaks volumes about his speed.]]
** [[ColonelBadass Ninja Clan Leader]]: Of the Muugen Tenshin Clan

* {{Badass}}: One of the baddest around. Just ask [[spoiler: Jaquio, Ashtar, and The Vigoro Empire.]] [[EverybodysDeadDave Oh wait...]]

* HeyItsThatVoice: Her voice was borrowed from [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood Len]].

* BottomlessMagazines: She never has to reload, regardless of all the ammo she expends. Possibly justified by the fact she's using a pair of MagiTech pistols, which would explain why we never see any shell casings.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Her voice was borrowed from [[MeltyBlood Len]].

!!! Kairi[=/=][[spoiler: Namine]]

** MightyGlacier: She can take a sh*tload of physical abuse and even withstand magic attacks and continue to fight with no problems. She's tough.
