History Characters / GirlsFrontline

Due to a [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters large variety of T-Dolls]] available in ''VideoGame/GirlsFrontline'', this has necessitated the creation of multiple character pages.

!!IOP Manufacturing Company
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s7mddidn_400x400.jpg]]
Short for Important Operation Prototype, IOP is G&K's main supplier of T-Dolls and equipment.

[[folder:Havier Witkin]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px_character_profile_weitkins.png]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NorioWakamoto

Founder and executive president of IOP Manufacturing Company.
----
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He's introduced in Chapter 9 at a press conference between the military and [=PMCs=] like Griffon & Kryuger, and it's pretty clear from the beginning that something's... ''off'' about [[AffablyEvil his politeness]]. Not helping matters is that at least two [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineOtherFactions KCCO]] officers in attendance want him dead on the spot, with one of them even drawing a gun on him in public as soon as he sees Havier.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's basically one of the few high-ranking figures who at least pretends he's on the Commander's side, providing them generous supplies and intelligence.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In the non-English versions, he goes by the name Harvey Weltkins.
* ThrillSeeker: At least in regards to business decisions. The start of chapter 3 in the Continuum Turbulence event has him exclaiming "Boring weapons are useless!" right after explaining to Angelia how illegal G&K's Heavy Ordnance Corps are. [[spoiler:It certainly doesn't help that their heavy weapons tech was sourced from Architect.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Kryuger were once friends until Kryuger helped Lyco defect from IOP to Sangvis Ferri, something he has never forgiven Kryuger for.
[[/folder]]

!!New Soviet Union
[[folder:Victor Pavlovich Zelinsky]]
Soviet Minister of Interior and head of FSB.
----
* TheDreaded: Naturally, being the head of the FSB means Zelinsky wields a terrifying amount of practical and political power that he can serve as a counter KCCO. Everybody who knows who he is knows to be extremely cautious around him.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He went from a lowly Volkswagen engineer into one of the most powerful man in the Soviet Union.
[[/folder]]

!!DEFY
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jleykjl.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Those who dare to defy destiny]]
A special forces team that was formerly contracted by Russia's Federal Security Bureau.

[[folder:The group as a whole]]
----
* AnimalMotifs: Wolves. Due to their viciousness and ruthless efficiency, the squad has been compared to a wolfpack several times. [[spoiler: Indeed, "Wolfpack" was the squad's initial name.]]
* AceCustom: All four of them are outfitted with military-grade parts and even some technologies not seen in other dolls -- in particular AK-12 and AK-15's advanced visual modules. Mirror Stage reveals that they are designed by Professor Shaw, a friend of Griffin.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The majority of Dual Randomness event is focused on Angie and Task Force DEFY's investigation in Bremen. Half of Mirror Stage's story is also told from their perspective.
* BadassInANiceSuit: The whole squad shows up in Dual Randomness wearing snazzy business suits, as part of their civilian cover.
* BrainsAndBrawn: The squad usually operates as a pair with this dynamic: AK-12 and RPK-16 comes up with tactics while AN-94 and AK-15 executes them. [[spoiler: In fact, this is how the Wolfpack was initially conceived: a command unit (AK-12) directing the might of an all-powerful combat unit (AK-15). The incompatibility between those two led to the creation of RPK-16 and AK-12 adopting the obsolete AN-94 as her partner.]]
* EliteArmy: Angelia's two T-Dolls, AK-12 and AN-94, are an elite fighting force all on their own. The former is all too fond of [[ArrogantKungFuGuy reminding "lesser" T-Dolls]] of this fact. [[spoiler:Former [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineGriffonAndKryuger AR Team]] members [=M4A1=] and AR-15 later get rescued by them, eventually joining them as thanks for upgrading them both with a MOD 3 form, further strengthening their forces.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Collectively pulls one off as part of Angelia's final gambit against Yegor in Polarized Light.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: The squad is named after Shaw's idea of bringing Dolls closer to humanity: rather than giving them the freedom of choice (as Persica did), Shaw believes in giving them the "right to defy". The group's previous name, Wolfpack, also alludes to their animal motifs.]]
* MysticalWhiteHair: While there's nothing mystical about any of them, the whole unit has white hair (or, in the case of AN-94, close enough to white hair) and created specifically to perform clandestine missions, lending to the mysterious aspect of this trope. [[spoiler:The AR Team neon sign dorm decoration lampshaded this by changing [=M4A1=]'s and [=AR-15=]'s portions of the logo to an off-white tone to signify their change of allegiance from G&K to DEFY.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: Despite their name and constant bickering, all four of them are willing to sacrifice themselves for Angelia's sake.

[[folder:Angelia]]
!! Anna Viktorovna Tsoi
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/_07.png]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RinaSato
Leader of Team DEFY. A former commander of Griffin & Kryuger, now working as an agent for the [[StateSec Federal Security Bureau]].
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Her real name and backstory are revealed in the second set of Confidential Documents bundled with the second artbook.
* ArtificialLimbs: Her left arm and right leg are prosthetics.
* BatmanGambit:
** In the Continuum Turbulence event, [[spoiler: she baited Yegor into confronting her alone, knowing that he is far too focused on getting revenge on her, and then revealing that she had planted numerous explosives all around the building they're in. Yegor doesn't flinch, at which point Angie reveals that she also planted ''another Collapse Fluid container'' among the bombs, which will vaporize everything in a 3 kilometer radius, including what remains of Yegor forces stationed outside the building. It takes her a while until she talks Yegor into surrendering. Turns out the Collapse Fluid container doesn't exist, and the bombs aren't even rigged with detonators. When Yegor realizes this, the rest of his forces have already evacuated the area.]]
** Dual Randomness shows Ange letting up her guard to suss out a potential mole. [[spoiler: Specifically, she had AK-12 fake her death earlier and ordered her to stow in a helicopter meant to carry her and Morridow. When Morridow revealed herself to be working for Paradeus, AK-12 had already knocked out the pilot and took over the controls, though Morridow opted to jump off the chopper instead of being taken prisoner.]]
** She repeats the same trick with [[spoiler: Lady Gray, herself trained by Morridow. She came into Gray's office alone and laid down on the operating table to get her prosthetics serviced. Before Gray can lay a hand on Ange, though, AK-15 and AN-94 breached the room to take her hostage. Her plan would have been successful if not for the fact that Gray is a Nyto, allowing her to avoid attacks from both dolls and retreat through a hidden passage.]]
* ConsummateProfessional: Ange takes her assignments ''very'' seriously. If you set her as your adjutant, most of her lines involves chiding the Commander for their supposed laxness.
* {{Determinator}}:
** [[spoiler: She spends a good portion of Continuum Turbulence on the brink of severe ELID symptoms, seemingly only staying alive through sheer willpower alone.]]
** [[spoiler: Mirror Stage begins with her being tortured for 48 hours straight. She took a good night's rest, had some coffee and biscuits, and gets right back on her investigations.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: She takes an increasingly larger role in the plot after her debut in Singularity, to the point where most of Dual Randomness is told from her perspective.
* GuestStarPartyMember: Becomes one in Dual Randomness and Mirror Stage. She is counted as a single-link handgun with a skill that damages and pushes back enemies.
* GoingNative: Her parents were originally from Korea but she grew up in Russia.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Angelica, Angelique, Angelina, or Angelia?
* StoneWall: Despite ostensibly being a regular human (prosthetics aside) who is only armed with a handgun, Angie is ''much'' tankier in gameplay than the rest of DEFY, boasting HG-level evasion, a shotgun-esque skill that knocks back enemies, and a health pool surpassing [=SMGs=]. In fact, at least one battle in Mirror Stage ''requires'' Angie to soak up damage in place of her T-Dolls.
* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler: She was exposed to Collapse Fluid fallout after the events of Singularity. The third part of Continuum Turbulence shows her rapidly deteriorating condition, to the point she needs an adrenaline shot to the heart just to stay awake, but she was rescued quickly enough for her infection to be treated.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:[=AK-12=]]]
One of Ange's personal combat T-Dolls. Smug and arrogant to pretty much everyone, but becomes cold and calculating in combat.\\
See [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineAssaultRifles#AK12 her entry]] in Characters/GirlsFrontlineAssaultRifles for more information.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:[=AN-94=]]]
One of Ange's personal combat T-Dolls. Seemingly only exists to follow [=AK-12=] wherever she goes.\\
See [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineAssaultRifles#AN94 her entry]] in Characters/GirlsFrontlineAssaultRifles for more information.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:[=AK-15=]]]
One of Ange's personal combat T-Dolls. The grumpy, takes-no-nonsense type.\\
See [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineAssaultRifles#AK15 her entry]] in Characters/GirlsFrontlineAssaultRifles for more information.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:[=RPK-16=]]]
One of Ange's personal combat T-Dolls. The most approachable person of the group, though not without quirks of her own.\\
See [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineMachineGuns#RPK16 her entry]] in Characters/GirlsFrontlineMachineGuns for more information.
[[/folder]]

!!404
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ddwtkjw.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Those who do not exist]]
A covert mercenary team whose MO is to [[LaserGuidedAmnesia wipe the memories]] of their clients after a completed job. Not even G&K T-Dolls are spared from this.

[[spoiler:Chapter 1 of Operation Singularity reveals that Task Force 404 was founded by Angelia, of Task Force DEFY.]]

[[folder:The group as a whole]]
* HiredGuns: [[spoiler: Despite ostensibly operating under Angelia's leash,]] 404 is willing to work on any contract given to them, be it from G&K or someone else.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: They induce this on T-Dolls they work with to keep their operations clandestine. Notably, they can't do this to humans; 416 calls Kalina a "security hole" during Continuum Turbulence, lamenting the fact that she can't wipe her memory.
* PerpetualPoverty: Because of their MO, they can't hold on to any source of funding for very long, if at all. 416 is often the first to complain about their financial situation. [[spoiler: Even when [=UMP45=] gets upgraded to MOD 3, her appearance is notably ramshackle compared to other MOD 3 T-Dolls, even compared to [=UMP9=], since it's all her go-to mechanic Deele could manage at the time.]]
* TheSpook: In-universe. Only a select few individuals know that they exist at all, and those who do know almost nothing about the individual members.
* StreetSamurai: They show elements of this archetype, being tech-savvy mercenaries with anti-authoritarian streak.
* {{Unperson}}: An inversion, given that they actively cover up any traces of their existence.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:[=UMP45=]]]
404's squad leader. Has a penchant for teasing everyone.\\
See [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineSubmachineGuns#UMP45 her entry]] in Characters/GirlsFrontlineSubmachineGuns for more information.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:[=UMP9=]]]
[=UMP45=]'s right-hand T-Doll and the merrymaker of the squad.\\
See [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineSubmachineGuns#UMP9 her entry]] in Characters/GirlsFrontlineSubmachineGuns for more information.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:[=HK416=]]]
One of 404's marksmen. Seems to hold a grudge against everyone closely related to her, 404 included.\\
See [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineAssaultRifles#HK416 her entry]] in Characters/GirlsFrontlineAssaultRifles for more information.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:[=G11=]]]
The other marksman of 404. Perpetually sleepy and generally prefers to stay off the frontline.\\
See [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineAssaultRifles#G11 her entry]] in Characters/GirlsFrontlineAssaultRifles for more information.

!!Other Units
[[folder:Drone]]
-->'''Artist:'''
-->'''Voiced by:'''
* StoneWall: When summoned by [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineFairies a Taunt Fairy]], they serve as a decoy for you, soaking up bullets from Sangvis Ferri units. Their health also scales with the skill level of your Taunt Fairy, meaning that if it's sufficiently upgraded, it can soak up several hits from the ''[[{{BFG}} Jupiter]]'', allowing you to shred them when the cannons are still active. It can also distract the Rodelero and tank its laser beam, allowing you to move your units away from the middle row and watch the Rodelero wasting its time attacking the Drone.
* TrainingDummy: Their primary purpose is to be used for target practice.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Nightmare]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chibi_screenshot.png]]
-->'''Artist:'''
-->'''Voiced by:'''

Piles of corrupted data found in the digital world or in ones Digi-Mind. Predictably, they do not exist in the physical world.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: You'd only know this unit's name if you checked the Index.
* MyNameIsQuestionMarks: Long-pressing on one of these units only shows "???" next to their profile picture.
* NoNameGiven: Before enemy units were integrated into the Index, this unit had no real name. [=GFWiki=] simply referred to them as "Unknown".
* MovesetClone: These guys are pretty much just the digital version of ELID Infectees.
* ZergRush: Like with Dinergates, Nightmares are at their most dangerous in large swarms, but can easily be dispatched by [=MGs=]. Unlike Dinergates, however, Nightmares have high HP and don't move very fast.
[[/folder]]

!! Pan-European Cooperation Initiative
[[folder:Gilda Ulrich]]
Chairwoman of the Pan-European Cooperation Initiative's Executive Committee.
----
* TheNeedsOfTheMany: While under siege by the White faction, she refuses to evacuate the Belgrade cathedral with Griffin forces until the civilians who are also there are evacuated as well.
* NervesOfSteel: Is unfazed when a rebel soldier aims his gun on her head during her meeting with the Neo-Soviet ambassador at Belgrade. She mentions that is isn't the first time this has happened to her.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Becomes one in Dual Randomness. She approves of Ange's investigation in the city and offers what help she could, even lending two of her subordinates.
* SacrificialLion: She was send to Belgrade as a pawn of her bosses to gain concessions from the Neo-Soviets should she be assassinated during the meeting between their ambassadors.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:Morridow Vogt]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8ae5733014e9ea8ad18ed5c533c144318733e80690f8cb1f48588bf91479305adbc49f4c9aa4869dc9125ef7b4fafb23ac92d959b85b9196f2525d967a08862063fd1f69495344738894eca850f5190067a96f544d6cb6e7c4efab1435c5dae6d08647f5b8b3de5e4f220.png]]
Chairwoman Ulrich's secretary. Acts as a liaison during Angelia's investigation in Bremen.\\\

For tropes relating to her appearances after Dual Randomness, [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineParadeus click here]].
----

* DitzySecretary: For an aide to a top European bureaucrat, Morridow can be surprisingly airheaded. Justified in that she's still new to the job.
* FirstNameBasis: She introduces herself with her full name, but everyone just calls her Morridow.
* TheIdealist: Morridow likes to believe in the goodness of the hearts of people. [[spoiler: Even when her identity is outed, she seem to be fully committed to Paradeus philosophy and is convinced they will win in the end.]]
* NaiveNewcomer: It is mentioned that she is a relatively recent hire, and thus hasn't experienced much of the world's darker side.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Wolfgang Hopps]]
An ex-[=GSG9=] member, now serving as Madam Ulrich's bodyguard. He handles the security detail for Ange in Bremen. [[spoiler:Actually named Franz Schreck, he is an intelligence officer for the BfV currently acting as part of the German Independence Party.]]
----
* BackForTheDead: Hopps returns for several brief scenes in Poincare Recurrence [[spoiler:as one of the people hired by Paradeus to smuggle their Boxes of Iaso. Bramedb then sniped him in the heart before he can provide more info.]]
* TheCynic: Contrasting Morridow's bright outlook, Hopps believes that humans are ultimately self-serving and would deceive each other to their own ends. [[spoiler: Not unlike his true motives.]]
* LastNameBasis: He's known as just Hopps for up until almost the very end of Dual Randomness.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: One for the [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic German Independence Party]]. However, it actually goes a layer deeper. His real identity is Franz Schreck, a German federal intelligence officer who's infiltrated the GIP.]]
* MotiveRant: [[spoiler: He gives a fairly lengthy one after his cover is blown. He believes the government has abandoned the interests of its citizens, especially military veterans like himself, and that the refugees of the Bremen settlement are taking resources which people like him should have instead.]]
* TheQuietOne: Hopps generally keeps to himself and only speaks when needed.
[[/folder]]
!!Stasi
[[folder: J]]
One of the Stasi agents deployed to assist Angelia. [[spoiler: A colleague of K.]]
----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: J is much more jovial than his fellow Stasi agents, but that doesn't mean he's any less dangerous than them.
* CowboyCop: [[spoiler: J's frustration around the Mansion's case led him to start an investigation on his own, despite repeated warnings from his superior. This bites him in the ass repeatedly, netting him and K suspension, a key suspect dead, and several Stasi agents killed.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Having the squad of Stasi agents under his command massacred by Paradeus troops, and then seeing Mona being cruelly manipulated by Bramedb just to torture him sent J over the edge. He would have slit his own throat right there and then if it wasn't for the Commander's intervention.]]
* HandsomeLech: He likes to flirt with women if the situation allows for it. Most aren't exactly receptive to his advances.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to [[spoiler: Agent K]] and later Mona. J is a lot more emotionally-driven than either two.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With [[spoiler: Agent K.]] Despite butting heads frequently, [[spoiler: K gives his buddy full backing while investigating Paradeus on their own.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Light]]
A young Stasi agent and a rising star within their ranks.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: His right arm is severed by Lady Grey during the mansion ambush.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Grievously wounded, bleeding out, and missing a limb, Light strapped explosives into himself and go out in a blaze to save Angie from being captured. Unfortunately, the explosion barely phases Lady Grey, and both AK-15 and AN-94 failed to exploit the opening because RPK-16 hacked them.]]
* HeroWorshipper: A downplayed example. [[spoiler: Light greatly admires Ange because in his eyes, she is the closest embodiment to the ideal hero he wanted to become. He almost always keeps a professional attitude around her, however, and only reveals this side to Ange when they have a private moment together.]]
* TeenGenius: Downplayed in that he's actually 19, but that's still an outrageously young age for an agent of his rank.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: He armed himself with an [=HK512=] after finding out handguns don't do much against Paradeus troops. J later notes this is the model of shotgun Light is most experienced with.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Romy]]
The head of the Stasi during the events of Poincare Recurrence.
----
* IronLady: As befitting someone of her position. When Romy wants you to do something, you do it ''exactly'' as she says. This causes J no small amounts of headache as [[spoiler: she explicitly forbids the investigation from the Mansion case, seemingly under instructions from General Schweinsteiger.]]
[[/folder]]
!!Unaffiliated

[[folder:Sier & Dier]]

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_character_profile_sier.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Sier]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/character_profile_dier.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Dier]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Kaoru Sakura (Sier) Creator/JunFukuyama (Dier)
A pair of siblings hired by 404 Squad to act as their maintenance personnel.
----

* {{Crossplayer}}: The Bounty Feast collaboration event [[spoiler: reveals Dima as a virtual avatar of Dier.]]
* HasAType: Dier is attracted to [=G11=], to the point he bought A-Dolls who are same model as [=G11=] to work as maids at his mansion. The [=UMP=] twins makes fun on his crush on [=G11=] that they even blackmail him to perform [=UMP=] 9's Neural Upgrade in exchange for not mentioning his crush.
* PunnyName: Their names together approximate the phrase "seal the deal".
* RichBoredom: Dier uses his work as a doll mechanic to escape the boredom of his cushy civilian life.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: They're called Seele and Deele in the game's file names.
* TeenGenius: Both of them are, but Dier especially. He is the one trusted with [[spoiler: repairing [=UMP45=]'s wreck of a body. Not only he pulled this off with limited tools and materials, he also crammed so many upgrades on her that it ended up as]] [=UMP45=]'s MOD 3. Sier is no slouch, either, pulling nothing short of a logistics miracle to get the materials Dier needed, considering 404's MO and their PerpetualPoverty.

[[folder:K]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/character_profile_k.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunFukuyama
An InformationBroker. He is the target of SOP II and [=RO635=]'s mission in Belgrade.
----
* AloofAlly: During Isomer. His goals are aligned with the Commander, but he isn't shy in telling the Commander that he is not irreplaceable.
* BodyDouble: [[spoiler: Has a specialized doll model that can mimic his features down to the smallest details. This is how he managed to escape from the White Faction's assassins.]]
* ByTheBookCop: [[spoiler: In contrast to J]], K is much more stringent on following protocols. [[spoiler: He does let his conscience get the better of him in the first chapter of Poincare Recurrence, assisting J on his unofficial investigation to find the truth behind Light's death.]]
* CrazyPrepared: Not only the maid dolls under his command are modded with SuperSpeed and SuperReflexes, [[spoiler: their digiminds are bolstered with plenty of electronic warfare defenses, and should ''those'' fail, he also implanted a self-destruct command into them]]. Even the little shack he ostensibly operates from has a secret exit into Belgrade's sewer system, where he had weapon stashes and traps planted all over the place.
* EarlyBirdCameo: For the EN server. He appeared in the ''VA-11 HALL-A'' crossover as one of Augmented Eye's reporters, way before his storyline debut in Operation Isomer.
* OneLetterName: Only known as K. [[spoiler:The Polarized Light event reveals that K is the first letter in his full name, Kain Schwaben.]]
* MajorlyAwesome: [[spoiler: Once his jig is up in Polarized Light, he is immediately identified as ''Major'' Kain Schwalbe.]]
* MissionControl: Serves as this during Operation Isomer and parts of Polarized Light.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: Turns out to be one for UsefulNotes/TheStasi.]]
* RedHerring: His portraits have the name "Jason" in their filenames, initally throwing off dataminers. [[spoiler:His name is actually Kain.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: [[spoiler: With J, another Stasi agent. He actually laughed out loud when seeing a heavily-injured J, only to promptly miss him as he's carted off to the hospital.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Marlohe]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/character_profile_maid.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:250:some caption text]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Kaoru Sakura
K's maid doll.
----
* BerserkButton: Badmouthing her master K.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: K apparently modified Marlohe to be able to deploy blades for combat. She appreciates the function.
* EmotionlessGirl: Much like her master, Marlohe almost always speaks in an aloof manner. She opens up quite a lot when set as your adjutant, however.
* JobStealingRobot: One of her adjutant lines has her complaining about dinergates being converted into cleaning robots. This is despite her being, you know, ''a robot herself''.
* HiddenDepths: If you set her as an adjutant, Marlohe reveals that she wishes to practice in the firing range so she can protect K and the Commander on the same level as T-Dolls.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Passadou]]
An opera singer who was killed when the theatre she was performing in caught fire. She is the focal character of the Halloween 2020 event, "Butterfly in a Cocoon".
----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Logs recovered from AH-400's memory shows that Passadou's megalomania and narcissism worsened as the illness claimed her ability to sing. This culminated with Passadou illegally altering her maidservant doll into a perfect body double of her, then having her die in a fire so that "Passadou" is remembered forever.]]
* BodyDouble: [[spoiler: She had her servant doll modified to resemble her both in looks and voice.]]
* DeadArtistsAreBetter: Passadou is remembered as a brilliant opera singer whose career tragically ended at its peak. [[spoiler: This turns out to be an invoked trope, as the whole thing was staged by Passadou herself.]]
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: She visibly freezes up when AH-400 reveals that she has always loved [Passadou] and lists several moments exemplifying this, as if finally realizing that AH-400 loves her for reasons beyond programming. [[IgnoredEpiphany She quickly brushes it aside.]]]]
* IllGirl: [[spoiler: She suffers from Lou Gehrig's disease, which gradually weakens her muscles to the point she can't sing anymore.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler: The final chapters show that Passadou only really cares about herself, to the point of abusing her Doll and husband as she slowly succumbs to Lou Gehrig's disease, ranting how they have no idea how much she has suffered.]]
%% JustAMachine
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: She spent an entire year after murdering her husband and servant in a fire living a comfortable, if secluded life. Then TAC-50 came along and exposed the truth to the media, leading to her immolating herself rather than seeing her reputation tarnished forever.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: Passadou died during the theater fire exactly one year before the event takes place. [[spoiler: As the event reveals, she's not as posthumous as most assumed.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Goes through one as TAC-50 unravels more and more of her story. Then she loses it completely when TAC reveals her entire confession is being streamed to the internet.]]
* WomanScorned: [[spoiler: She mistook AH-400 comforting Arla as the latter cheating on her for a doll. This ultimately pushed her over the edge, culminating in the incident where she killed them both in the theater fire.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Jane Winter]]
Another opera singer who purportedly replaced Passadou before her untimely death. [[spoiler: She is actually Passadou's own servant, an unnamed AH-400 doll, who was illegally modified to resemble her.]]
----
* BecomingTheMask: It is said that Jane Winter gradually becomes more and more like Passadou as she usurps her position as the lead singer. [[spoiler: This is subverted, as AH-400 shows none of her master's delusions of grandeur even on her final moments.]]
* DubNameChange: On the EN server, her alias was changed to "Jane Doe". [[spoiler: Considering she spent the remainder of her existence [[BodyDouble impersonating Passadou]] and was never given a name, [[MeaningfulName a placeholder name for an unidentified person is apt.]]]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: AH-400 neural cloud backups are only retained for 3 months. Since Spitfire and co. found her a whole year after the incident, it's far too late to bring her back.]]
* NeverGivenAName: [[spoiler: As she is simply a lowly servant, neither Passadou nor Arla seemed to care to give her a name. Even TAC-50 keeps referring to her by her model number. The name Jane Winter was simply taken from Passadou's diary, implied to be a result of her delusions.]]
* TheSpook: Very little is known about Jane besides her name, and even her existence is disputed. [[spoiler: Of course, given the truth, it is more likely that people simply overlooked her.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler: She is willing to put up with Passadou's constant abuse, going along with her insane plan even up to the point where Passadou sets fire to the theater then commands her to stay there and die, just because she loves Passadou ''that'' much.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Shadowless]]
Light's older sister. A news anchor for a German TV network.
----
* BigSisterInstinct: Shadowless disapproves of Light following in the footsteps of their parents because it got them killed. [[spoiler: She outlived him in the end.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler: Since the circumstances around Light's death are covered up to the extent where Light's own partners don't know what's going on, she never got to learn how her brother went out.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Nele]]
!!Corneleia Schaefer
An employee of Galatea corporation and Lady Grey's laboratory assistant.
----
* HeroWorshipper: Nele holds Lady Grey on a very high pedestal, as it was her who inspired Nele to work as a researcher in the first place. The mere hint that Grey ''might'' be involved with some unsavory business greatly troubles her, [[spoiler: which eventually prompted Nele to work for J as an informant]].

!!'''SPOILER CHARACTERS'''
'''Warning: Administrivia/SpoilersOff applies to this section.'''
[[folder:90wish]]
! Bundeswehr Special Technology Development Group [=90wunsch=]
A defunct underground research group, whose members included Persica, Lycoris, and William. In actuality, they operate under the German goverment.
----
* BreakingTheFellowship: They had a nasty split when they had to decide between going public with their findings or remain in the dark. When information about them leaked to the public, they started to turn against eachother.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite having questionable motives and methods, [=90wish=] drew the line at human experimentation
* ForScience: Their most extreme members didn't really care about how their research could be used for evil or nefarious purposes.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:OGAS]]
A former Soviet neural network, appropriated by Lycoris to create the basis of Sangvis Ferri's AI protocols.
----
* BodySnatcher: They have the ability to forcefully take over the hosts' body.
* ContagiousAI: The true purpose of Parapluie virus is to create additional OGAS instances by infecting other computer systems. A rather odd example as each copy isn't necessarily networked with each other. In fact, the OGAS instances housed by [=M4A1=] and [=UMP45=] respectively evolved into distinct characters.
* MasterComputer: All [=OGASes=] were derived from a centralized intelligence Dandelion dubs "Mother". It is from this Mother that the "seeds" of each OGAS were extracted, and they all instinctively seek to return to her.
* MechanicalLifeform: Of sorts. OGAS instances are essentially digital parasites, existing as a separate consciousness in a doll's digi-mind, but without a physical body of their own. They are able to propagate by infecting other dolls with the Parapluie virus and converting parts of their digi-mind into another OGAS instance.
* MySkullRunnethOver: If the potential host cannot bear the ''massive'' processing load to create an OGAS instance, their digi-mind will melt down instead.
* SymbioticPossession: If the host's processing capability is high enough (or, conversely, if the OGAS instance isn't too complex), both the host and OGAS instance can develop a mutually beneficial relationship. This can be seen with [=M4A1=] and Dandelion, as well as [=UMP45=] and the fake [=UMP40=].

[[folder:Dandelion]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/girls_frontline_isomer_black.png]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Dandelion after taking over Isomer Black's body.]]
[=M4A1=]'s personal OGAS.
----
* AllYourPowersCombined: The bonus level for Mirror Stage has her drawing power from the neural cloud data of dolls she stored during Polarized Light, giving her various buffs based on the chosen doll.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Dande's specialty in electronic warfare gives G&K a massive edge against superior enemy forces. However, this is the only way she can contribute to a fight. Should her hacking abilities are taken away (like how Paradeus jammed her at the climax of Mirror Stage), then she essentially becomes useless.
* DigitizedHacker: Inverted. As [=M4A1=]'s OGAS she displays extremely potent hacking abilities, far beyond what a specialized Electronic Warfare doll can possibly do, and she retains the same powers once obtains a physical form by hijacking Nimogen's body.
* FloralThemeNaming: She compares OGAS instances like her as seeds of a flower blown by the wind, hence Dandelion.
* TheGadfly: She spends a good part of Mirror Stage teasing AR-15 over [=M4=]'s absence, even mimicking [=M4=]'s voice just for the hell of it.
* PaperThinDisguise: The Commander lent her their coat to help her blend better as a G&K human staff. Justified as most of the personnel in the base are Dolls and she can selectively hide herself from their vision.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Fan translations previously render her name as Dandelai or Dandelei.
* SupportPartyMember: Her playable appearance in Mirror Stage cannot fight enemies at all; she just dies instantly like just like how a HOC unit would. Instead, her role is to give powerful (and repeatable!) buffs to your echelons and debuffs to enemies, as well as revealing parts of the map through a radar scan.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The fact that she arose from the Parapluie virus and inhabits the body of a Paradeus unit doesn't exactly endear her to the AR Team and G&K at large, which isn't helped by her overall callous attitude. Still, Dandelion possess abilities that proves to be ''very'' useful for the Commander, and Dandelion herself can't possibly achieve her goals without cooperating with G&K, leading to their uneasy alliance.

[[folder:Lunasia]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/girls_frontline_lunixya.png]]
The original basis of [=M4A1=] and Elisa's neural cloud.
----
* ArtificialHuman: One snippet in Shattered Connexion implies that she was one of many clones used to carry terror attacks. In addition, her brainwaves bear similarities to a doll's digi-mind.
* BrainUploading: Of sorts. While her mind isn't exactly copied 1:1, it does provide the framework of some of the most advanced AI in the setting.
* EtherealWhiteDress: In all of her appearances so far, she's always portrayed wearing a white dress, and though her physical body has long since deceased, the fact that pieces of her mind exist within [=M4A1=], Elisa, and the Nytos means that she is still "alive" in a sense.
* TheLostLenore: Assuming that Dr. William is really her brother, then her death is what drove him to become the mastermind behind Paradeus today.
* MultipleChoicePast:
** In Volume 1 of the Confidential Files, she and her parents were refugees seeking, along with other refugees, a better and safer place to live after the 3rd World War.
** Volume 2 has a bit of contradiction, and part of it involves Persica and/or other [=90wish=] members having met the family prior to [=WWIII=].
** Shattered Connexion has Persica stating that [=M4A1=]'s neural cloud was made from a dead girl. Specifically, there was a string of attacks on Griffin-controlled areas carried by unusually aggressive children several years before. Persica took pity on one of them and had her brain scanned. Coincidentally, the attacks stopped soon after that. It's highly implied that these children were vat-grown clones manufactured by Paradeus.
** Havel's conversation with Persica in Chapter 13 reveals that she is Lunasia von Oberstein, daughter of Rudolf von Oberstein, chief of the Max Planck Computational Science Institute. Persica and Lyco, having worked in the Institute prior to World War III, personally knew the girl and her brother, though she passed away from illness. However, her brother's words suggest that she was murdered instead of being terminally ill.
* PosthumousCharacter: Her death is what enabled the creation of [=M4A1=] in the first place.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Prior to the official translation rendering her name as Lunasia, she was also called Lunisia and Lunixya by the community.

[[folder:Pikes]]
!!Pikes
A mysterious Relic weapon dating back to the old Soviet Union.
----
* FantasticNuke: Each of these things is a city destroying weapon in its own right, to the point that nukes are the only viable weapon for fighting them. If even one were to reach a city, said city is lost.
* GodzillaThreshold:
** Are a living form of this - the devastation they are capable of unleashing is so great that nukes are the ''preferred'' method of dealing with them.
** [[WorldWarIII The potential results of KCCO acquiring these things]] are so disastrous that G&K are willing to face the military in open combat to stop them, even though this ''will'' get Griffin slaughtered.
* LostTechnology: Collectible intel from ''VideoGame/CodenameBakeryGirl'' reveals that the Pikes are this, being some form of [[{{Precursors}} GAVIRUL]]-created lifeform that fed on everything and excreted Collapse Fluid wherever it went. Most of what is known about them in-universe is derived from Cold War-era Soviet Russia research, although they never bothered to figure out what their true purpose was, content with simply using their destructive power against their enemies.
* MacGuffin: They're the primary objective of KCCO in Polarized Light, as acquiring them would grant their faction within the New Soviet Union much greater influence due to their raw power.
* RedHerring: The first mention of the Stars and Pikes in general is Belgrade's Pike Node in the Isomer event, which is just a small steel ball-shaped data storage device. Every faction that shows up during the event is fighting over its data (which, among other things, contains the locations of other Pike Nodes), making it come off as some sort of weapon for cyberattacks.

!! Pan-European Cooperation

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Becomes one in Dual Randomness. She approves of Angie's investigation in the city and offers what help she could, even lending two of her subordinates.

[[folder:Morridow]]

For tropes relating to her appearances after Dual Randomness, [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineParadeus#Morridow click here]].

[[folder:Hopps]]
An ex-[=GSG9=] member, now serving as Madam Ulrich's bodyguard. He handles security detail for Angie in Bremen.

* BackForTheDead: Hopps returns for several brief scenes in Poincare Recurrence [[spoiler: as one of the people hired by Paradeus to smuggle their Boxes of Iaso. Bramedb then sniped him in the heart before he can provide more info.]]

* TheMole: [[spoiler: One for the [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic German Independence Party]].]]
* MotiveRant: [[spoiler: He gives a fairly lengthy one after his cover is blown.]]

The head of Stasi during the events of Poincare Recurrence.

* AnimalMotifs: Wolves. Due to their viciousness and ruthless efficiency, the squad has been compared to a wolfpack several times.
* AceCustom: All four of them are outfitted with military-grade parts and even some technologies not seen in other dolls -- in particular AK-12 and AK-15's advanced visual modules. Mirror Stage reveals that they are designed by someone named "Shaw", a friend of Griffin.

* MysticalWhiteHair: While there's nothing mystical about any of them, the whole unit has white hair (or, in the case of AN-94, close enough to white hair). Their status as a Russian black ops team implied to have legendary skill might make them fit the bill for "mystical" as far as the more bog-standard militaries are concerned. [[spoiler:The AR Team neon sign dorm decoration lampshaded this by changing [=M4A1=]'s and [=AR-15=]'s portions of the logo to an off-white tone to signify their change of allegiance from G&K to DEFY.]]
