Added DiffLines:

* MyBelovedSmother: She tries to micromanage every single part of Mikage's life, such as brute-forcing her way into making decisions ''for'' Mikage (ex. deciding which school she'll go to, even though Mikage wants to attend a school in Tokyo with her friends). Her controlling behavior is what leads Mikage to isolate herself and ghost her friends.

Added DiffLines:

* FreudianExcuse: The Third Heart, while she does only hurt Mikage and keep her from growing as a person, does have her heart in the right place. Mikage and her phantoms have been consistently traumatized by their [[MyBelovedSmother controlling mother]], and even if her attempts to help Mikage are misguided at best, one can't fault her for simply reacting to trauma the only way she knows how. It's worth mentioning that The Third Heart has a lot of remarkably similar parallels to [[https://pluralpedia.org/w/Persecutor persecutors]], an alter role common amongst DID/OSDD-1 systems.

Added DiffLines:

* TheBlank: She does not have any facial features, only a swirling ring around her head - a feature which many phantoms, as shown in the game, seem to share with her.


Added DiffLines:

* SatelliteCharacter: Pretty much only exists to serve as a ReplacementGoldfish for Mikage's friends. After Mikage reunites with her friends, not much else is heard about Friend.

None

Added DiffLines:

* ReplacementGoldfish: A variant in which the lost loved ones haven't passed away - Mikage is simply avoiding them out of fear of being hurt again. Friend is a phantom who exists simply to fill the void left behind by Mikage's friends, and is thus meant to be an imitation of them. It should be noted that Friend's role as a phantom is actually pretty similar to that of introjects in real-life plural systems; see WatchedItForTheRepresentation under the [[YMMV/EnvyPhantom YMMV tab]] for a better explanation.

Added DiffLines:

* MoreThanMeetsTheEye: It's lightly implied that she may have known about the phantoms from the beginning, or at least for a long time. The way that she [[spoiler:immediately turns to the phantom upon seeing the vine on Mikage's wrist, as well as looking generally content on the train ride despite what just happened, makes it seem like she may know more than she lets on (or at least, what Harumaki Gohan lets on). She also never asks Mikage about the phantoms or even mentions them after the incident, and the last page - an image of Spica hugging Mikage while they are both tangled up in vines - is implied to be seen from her perspective.]]

* Determinator: In the manga, she goes out of her way to get Mikage to hang out with her friends again, chasing her down and dragging her to Tokyo to apologize to Spica.

* UncertainDoom: It's unknown what happened to her after Yuuhi tore her arm off, but going off of the fact that we never see or hear from her again after this, she may well have not survived the attack.

* [[CreepyCute]]: Her entire color palette, including her physical features, is black and white, and she appears to lack eyes, instead having an inky black halo floating around the middle of her head where they would be. Despite this, her entire personality is being a kind and sweet girl, and Harumaki Gohan's art style makes her look just as adorable as any of his other characters.

* IcyBlueEyes: Downplayed. While the main phantom fits this trope well, being cold and an [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless girl]] the other phantoms do not seem to display the same traits collectively.

* DarknessVonGothickName: Mikage's name when written in Kanji means beautiful shadow.



* PerpetualFrowner: Never smiles within Envy Phantom.

to:

* PerpetualFrowner: Never smiles within Envy Phantom.TroubledTeen: Mikage is one of these, having to deal with her own mental health issues and her phantoms.



* PinkMeansFeminine: Subverted. Pink is a prominent color in their color palette but none of them are shown to be particularly feminine.



Mikage's main phantom, always watching her every move from her mindscape home. Wants to help Mikage, but her methods are... questionable, to say the least.

Added DiffLines:

* BarelyChangedDubName: While there is no dub of Envy Phantom, some of their official English names fall under this.
** Yuuhi's official English name is Yuhi, which is practically the same as her original one.
**In Japanese, Spica's name is Supika but in English it's officially Spica. Understandable as Supika is just Spica converted into katakana.


Added DiffLines:

* InnocentBlueEyes: Averted. Mikage has blue eyes but isn't particularly innocent.


Added DiffLines:

* PerpetualFrowner: Never smiles within Envy Phantom.


Added DiffLines:

* BewareTheNiceOnes: While Yuuhi is a genuinely nice and caring person, when someone makes her angry she is a force to be reckoned with.


Added DiffLines:

* VagueAge: Downplayed. While it's clear she's around the same age as Spica, Mikage and Yuuhi, her exact age is never given.


Added DiffLines:

* PerpetualFrowner: Never smiles, ever.


Added DiffLines:

* TheUnfettered: Is dedicated to protecting Mikage at any cost.


Added DiffLines:

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite only appearing once and even then not being shown, her actions heavily impact the story, by making Mikage the way she is and being indirectly responsible for the creation of the phantoms.
