* SixthRanger: [[ZigZaggedTrope Of a sort.]] While she was technically part of Laurent's team from the beginning, both Makoto and the audience are initially lead to believe that she's an antagonist. She only interacts with Makoto, under the guise of trying to get him to sell out Laurent. However, once she reveals her true colors, she changes up the team dynamic by acting as a cool TeamMom and interacting more directly with the others, acting like a new addition from a storytelling standpoint if not a technical one.

* CharacterDevelopment: At the start of the show, he's shown to be a cocky, self-impressed petty crook who happily goes after easy marks, just because he can.

Added DiffLines:

* LovingAShadow: During the second arc, he develops what appears to be a crush on Abbie and spends a lot of his time being protective of her and trying to get close to her.

OK, so. Since there is now official word that yes, Laurent is 100% supposed to be bisexual, I'm going through and changing the way this page and the main page make references to his sexuality. I went back and forth over whether to leave the Ambiguously Bi trope entry on his page on the grounds that it's never technically confirmed in the show... but I ultimately decided that the show really isn't coy about it. I've also added a few more tropes I was nervous about adding before in case I was accused of having Shipping Goggles, but what with the word of god and all, it becomes a lot clearer that it's not just my own interpretation.


* HiredForTheirLooks: It's implied that Abbie believes, at least at first, that this is the ''real'' reason Makoto got hired. She complains about having to work with the inexperienced and amateurish Makoto right before complaining about how Laurent "always thinks with the little head between his legs," implying she thinks he hired him because he's attractive.

Laurent's ex-lover and the leader of the original confidence gang.

Laurent's ex-lover and the The former leader of the original confidence gang.gang. She recruited a young, down-on-his-luck card shark named Laurent Thierry to her band of conmen in a similar fashion to the way he would later recruit Makoto Edamura--by posing as a victim of one of his attacks while actually scouting him.

Laurent would later fall in love with her, and asked her to marry him so that they could both go straight. However, she wanted to pull off OneLastJob first. Unfortunately, she was found out and murdered, and Laurent swore to avenge her murder.



* TheAce: She was leader of the gang for a reason--she's an incredibly skilled actress, very good at {{Honey Trap}}s, and unflinchingly brave.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She shows up in the outro in silhouette form. The pink undertones in her hair make it unmistakably her, but her shadowed face means the audience can't tell anything about her from just the outro.



* OneLastJob: Although she agreed to marry Laurent and go straight with him, she wanted to try conning the Suzaku Group first. Unfortunately, that lead to her death.
* OnlyOneName: The only name she ever gives is "Dorothy." Given that she was an orphan raised entirely in foster care, she likely only has the one.
