** In stark contrast to Nurse, Mindstein ''[[InvertedTrope never]]'' [[InvertedTrope calls Screw by her real name: Hazel]]. Based on her dismissive treatment of her in favor of Nurse throughout the series, it's implied that Mindstein is upholding the idea that their relationship is strictly professional, that she sees her as nothing more than a means to an end. This outlook on her second daughter is explicitly discussed in "[=ADnDiction=]," where Crystelle reveals that Screw was an unwanted twin birth that Mindstein neglected until Nurse's escape. Even so, she only made Screw into what she is today to help get Nurse back under her control, rather than to function as Nurse's full-on replacement.

This outlook on her second daughter is explicitly discussed in "[=ADnDiction=]," where Crystelle reveals that Screw was an unwanted twin birth that Mindstein mostly neglected, as she only wanted Nurse. Even after Nurse's escape, she made Screw into what she is today to help get Nurse back under her control, rather than to function as Nurse's full-on replacement.

This outlook on her second daughter is explicitly discussed in "[=ADnDiction=]," where Crystelle reveals that Screw was an unwanted twin birth that Mindstein only started truly paying attention to after Nurse escaped. And even then, Screw is only what she is today to help get Nurse back under Mindstein's control, rather than to function as Nurse's full-on replacement.

** In stark contrast to Nurse, Mindstein ''[[InvertedTrope never]]'' [[InvertedTrope calls Screw by her real name: Hazel]]. In this case, she's upholding the idea that their relationship is strictly professional. Screw reciprocates by only addressing Mindstein as her "master" and always treating her formally. In turn, Mindstein never acknowledges her blood relationship with Hazel; the sole exception is in "Something Weird This Way Comes," in which Mindstein does so to facetiously introduce the Infinium Flute to Bill Cipher.
--->'''Mindstein:''' Oh, Screw, darling~? Can you bring mommy's new toy~?

** Unlike how she addresses Crafty, Mindstein ''only'' acknowledges Nurse with her real first name: Greta. Much of "I Need a Hero Academia" demonstrates this choice as a blatant manipulation tactic. It's intended to invalidate Nurse's growth with Crafty, while also helping to reestablishing Mindstein's abusive power dynamic she over her.

** Mindstein [[InvertedTrope almost]] ''[[InvertedTrope never]]'' [[InvertedTrope calls Screw by her real name: Hazel]]. In this case, she's upholding the idea that their relationship is strictly professional, with their family ties rarely coming up. Screw reciprocates by only addressing Mindstein as her "master" and always treating her formally. The only time Mindstein explicitly acknowledges Screw as her daughter is in "Something Weird This Way Comes," as a means for Mindstein to facetiously introduce the Infinium Flute to Bill Cipher.

* FirstNameBasis: Unlike how she addresses Crafty, Mindstein ''only'' acknowledges Nurse with her real first name: Greta. Much of "I Need a Hero Academia" demonstrates this choice as a blatant manipulation tactic. It's intended to invalidate Nurse's growth with Crafty, while also helping to reestablishing Mindstein's abusive power dynamic she over her. However, with Hazel, [[InvertedTrope the opposite is true]], with Mindstein only ever addressing her by her current alias: Screw. In this case, she's subtly upholding the idea that their relationship is strictly professional. Screw reciprocates by only addressing Mindstein as her "master." The only time Mindstein explicitly acknowledges Screw as her daughter is in "Something Weird This Way Comes," just before Mindstein introduces the Infinium Flute to Bill Cipher.

* FirstNameBasis: Unlike how she addresses Crafty, Mindstein ''only'' acknowledges Nurse with her real first name: Greta. It's a blatant manipulation tactic intended to invalidate Nurse's growth; "Greta" calls back to the traumatic life that Mindstein wishes to force back upon her.

* FirstNameBasis: Unlike how she addresses Crafty, Mindstein ''only'' acknowledges Nurse with her real first name: Greta. It's a blatant manipulation tactic intended to invalidate Nurse's growth outside of Mindstein's control.

* FirstNameBasis: Mindstein generally makes a point to address Nurse by her real first name: Greta. It's meant to be disrespectful; Mindstein does so simply to exert control over her daughter, to remind her of her time before Crafty. However, with Hazel, [[InvertedTrope the opposite is true]], with Mindstein only ever addressing her by her current alias: Screw. In this case, she's subtly upholding the idea that their relationship is strictly professional. Screw reciprocates by only addressing Mindstein as her "master."

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The final scene of "Yugi Vs. Sakura" is Mindstein's [[EarlyBirdCameo quiet, early introduction]] to the show, and it builds up the threat that she poses before she's even given a proper name. After filming is finished, Nurse collects some mail and discovers a mysterious package. It's addressed to someone named Greta, and the sender refers to themself as "mom." After some initial confusion, Nurse seizes up, subconsciously realizing that this package was sent to her by mother thanks to a horrifying memory of their time together. In it, a ''still conscious'' Nurse watches as Mindstein conducts deeply unethical, violent surgery on her. Aside from a domed brain, the only feature that Nurse can remember seeing is her mother's unhinged, remorseless smile staring her dead in the eyes. Once the flashback ends, Nurse finds herself possessed by Bakura for the duration of ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' Month, implying that Mindstein is now controlling ''gods'' and other powerful spirits to continue abusing her and the other crewmates.

Once the flashback ends, Nurse finds herself overtaken by the malicious spirit of Yami Bakura for the duration of ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' Month, implying that Mindstein has gained some sway over arcane magic to continue abusing her and the other crewmates in the present-day.

Sakura" is Mindstein's [[EarlyBirdCameo quiet, early introduction]] to the show, and it builds up the threat that she poses before she's even given a proper name. After filming is finished, Nurse discovers a mysterious package at the castle's doorstep. She notices that it's addressed to someone named Greta, and the sender refers to themself as "mom." After some initial confusion, Nurse seizes up, subconsciously realizing that this package was sent to her by mother as she remembers a horrifying memory of their time together. In it, a ''still conscious'' Nurse watches as Mindstein conducts some deeply unethical, violent surgery on her.

After filming for "Yugi Vs. Sakura" is over, Mindstein makes her sudden first appearance in Nurse's flashback. In one fell swoop, the scene establishes her lack of ethics, her abusive power dynamic with Nurse, and her desire to antagonize Nurse and her Crewmates in the present. Upon receiving a package addressed to someone named Greta from her mother, Nurse seizes up, subconsciously realizing that the package is addressed to her as a horrifying memory plays out in her head. She remembers a time in which a silhouetted Mindstein conducted some deeply unethical, violent surgery on her, ''all while she was still conscious.'' Aside from a domed brain, the only feature that Nurse can remember seeing is Mindstein's unhinged, remorseless smile staring her dead in the eyes. It's strongly implied that this person was the sender of the package, which is soon confirmed in the final part of the subsequent "Foreshadow Game."

* SkunkStripe: She's got two blue streaks in her hair, similar to the Bride of Frankenstein.

* LeonineContract: Mindstein is fully prepared to recruit evil deities into her ranks for her plans--she just always ensures that they are firmly under her thumb before they even reach an agreement. "Something Weird This Way Comes" is the first episode to show how her recruitment process works. After reviving Bill Cipher in "Charablanca," Mindstein immediately traps him in a crystal ball prison that he absolutely cannot escape from without her influence. She presents Bill with a simple deal: if he wants complete freedom from Mindstein, he must do some reconnaissance work, in which he searches through Crafty's mind for any information regarding his connection to the Infinia. The moment that Bill starts disagreeing with her terms, Mindstein draws [[BrownNote the Infinium Flute]] and plays a tune to torture Bill into compliance. It's implied that she gained control of Bakura using the same method for "The Foreshadow Game."
