History Characters / Granbelm

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: An early trailer called her "Anna Hugo," but later promo material, the official subs, and merchandise all say "Anna Fugo."

* MultiEthnicName: Her given name and surname are clearly Japanese, but her middle name "Ernesta" has an Old Germanic origin.

* ShortHairWithTail: She has a chin-length bob with a little tail at the nape of her neck.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: While about to be vaporized by Suishou, Mangetsu spends her remaining seconds [[GoOutWithASmile smiling at Shingetsu]] and telling her that the moon is amazing]].

* AnAxeToGrind: The main weapon of Aconite Gris.

* AxCrazy: She is constantly angry and violent. Also, literally, since [[AnAxeToGrind she even uses axes as her signature weapons,]] and even attacks Shingetsu with one in episode 6.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: PlayedForDrama in perhaps the worst way possible. [[spoiler:As it turns out, despite all the magic she can do, Anna had very weak magic in comparison to others and could barely qualify as a proper mage, with her performing a technique that both her mother and grandmother couldn't do only being possible due to unseen help from Shingetsu. Both Shingetsu and her mother kept that fact from her for years out of their love for her, not realizing that their methods of doing so (calling her weak and saying that she'll never beat Shingetsu) were backfiring, causing Anna to think that not only did her family value Shingetsu more than her (and earn the latter her ever-growing scorn), but that they didn't know that she pulled off the technique. Once they did reveal the truth to her, she ended up suffering a ''massive'' SanitySlippage as a result. Then just when it seems like she would accept her fate and reconcile with Shingetsu... cue TheStinger, where not only does she nearly kill her own mother, but [[UnstoppableRage her hatred for Shingetsu being the chosen one while she's the cursed one]] is now ramped UpToEleven.]]

* BeamSpam: Nene could do this too, but Suishou takes it UpToEleven. When she starts fighting with all she has, [[spoiler:she covers the scenery with her AttackDrones and shoots beams from every single one of them.]]

* RapunzelHair: It's the longest hair among the participants of Granbelm, going past her back.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is pink.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Literally blue in her case.

* AnimalMotifs: Has a bit of a cat theme. Her ARMANOX's name translates into "Purple Cat" as well as looking a bit like a feline. This goes even further with official merchandise portraying her in a black cat kigurumi.

* TheChosenOne: [[spoiler: Being magic's loved one, Shingetsu was chosen since birth by Magiaconatus to win Granbelm, and all the misfortune she went through in her life was part of a [[SecretTestOfCharacter set of trials]] to test her resolve and determination.]]

* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: [[spoiler:The Magiaconatus, which contains all the magic in the world, had already decided long ago that it wants Shingetsu to be the next Princeps mage. It's been manipulating her life all along, giving her immense powers and screwing up her relationships to prepare for her role, while also "loving" her enough that it dreamed up an ArtificialHuman to give her a friend when she was lonely. Even Granbelm is just window dressing, and she's intended to win.]]

* GodWasMyCopilot: A dark take. [[spoiler:The Magiaconatus, which contains all the magic in the world, had already decided long ago that it wants Shingetsu to be the next Princeps mage. It's been manipulating her life all along, giving her immense powers and screwing up her relationships to prepare for her role, while also "loving" her enough that it dreamed up an ArtificialHuman to give her a friend when she was lonely. Even Granbelm is just window dressing, and she's intended to win.]]

[[quoteright:159:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nenepng_1.jpg]]

* OlderThanSheLooks: She's really in her late teens to early twenties, but her body is that of a middle schooler's and she was placed into a middle school when she moved to Japan. It's implied that this is due to magic.

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/379873.jpg]]

* OlderThanSheLooks: [[spoiler:She is 1000 years old, thanks to Magiaconatus keeping her around to test mages in Granbelm ever since all magic on Earth was sealed.]]

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:Has been the secret final boss of Granbelm for the past ''thousand years'', undefeated and increasingly resentful at Magiaconatus for using her this way instead of letting her become Princeps.]]

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/379877.jpg]]

* LonelyAtTheTop: [[spoiler: Shingetsu's ultimate fate. Getting rid of the magic made her presence unstable and due to her being the Princeps Mage, she cannot die and is pretty much cursed to live ForeverAlone.]]

* AmbiguouslyLesbian: The friendship between Shingetsu and herself has hints of this, along with her {{Mecha}} being named "White Lily", a symbol of the ''YuriGenre''.

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Light to Shingetsu's Dark, which is even reflected by their Armanox. She is openly friendly, kindhearted and more optimistic than her friend. Fittingly, her name means Full Moon, while Shingetsu is New Moon.

* MeaningfulName: Her name, Kohinata Mangetsu, means "Full Moon." It's also an anagram of "THE MAGIAKONNATUS".

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Dark to Mangetsu's Light, which is even reflected by their Armanox. She is the most serious and reserved of the two, and has a more cynical view of their situation thanks to her backstory. Fittingly, her name means New Moon, while Mangetsu is Full Moon.
* LivingForeverIsNoBigDeal: [[spoiler: Shingetsu's ultimate fate. Getting rid of the magic made her presence unstable and due to her being the Princeps Mage, she cannot die and is pretty much cursed to live ForeverAlone.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her name means "New Moon", contrasting with Mangetsu.

An ordinary high school student who suddenly finds herself in the middle of the Granbelm tournament. She has no particular talents or aspirations, so she tries to be as helpful and friendly as possible to make up for it. Her Armanox is White Lily.

* RoseHairedSweetie: She has pink hair and is incredibly kinhdearted toward everyone she knows.

* SuperSenses: She has superb hearing senses, which allows to dodge attacks with ease and lets her sense a mage's magic.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Her Ji Guan Long is shaped like a dragon's head. [[spoiler:It later transforms into a full dragon with bladed arms.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Manaka Iwami

* MeaningfulName: Her name means "Full Moon."

** [[spoiler:In Episode 6, she decides to tell Anna the truth, because she believes that the situation will only get worse otherwise. While this seems to work at first, it turns out later that Anna has gone through a SanitySlippage and almost killed her mother to steal thr magical stone of their family, so it actually made things worse.]]

A carefree mage who allies herself with Anna. She is apparently a descendant of a very minor mage family. Her Armanox is Drosela Nocturne.

A quiet young mage who has just awakened to her Armonox. She fights for the sake of her bedridden sister. Her Armanox is Setsgetsu Baika.

* CombatHandFan: Her Setsgetsu Baika wields a pair of pink fans [[LaserBlade made of energy]].

* SuperSpeed: Setsgetsu Baika is the fastest ARMANOX by a large margin.
