* BadassAdorable: While she'd probably kick in the teeth of anyone who'd call her "cute", she has her "father's" face and build and is far more open with her emotions than her. She's also a bloodthirsty warrior who can casually punch a giant golem about three times her size to pieces and throw another one with enough force to break the one she's targeting.


Added DiffLines:

* WaifFu: She has the same body size as her "father", which is to say about as thin as a bundle of sticks, yet can casually tear apart half a dozen golems nearly three times her size through a combination of swordsmanship, punches, kicks, and a good throwing arm.

* EntertaininglyWrong: He immediately guesses that the "gou" in Shishigou's name was written as "ゴ" or the Katakana for "go" as in the English "Let's go!". Hence, combined with the Shishi (Lion) of the first part of the necromancer's surname, Flat takes to calling Shishigou [[Anime/GoLion Go Lion-san]]. However, the actual Kanji for Shishigou's name "劫", which is simply a part of one's surname rather than containing any actual meaning. Lampshaded by Kairi himself and justified by the fact that Flat is English and the most Japanese he's probably gotten was from his mentor's love of video games.
