History Characters / HayateTheCombatButler

->Voiced by: Haruka Yamazaki

* SocialServicesDoesNotExist: Or they would '''both''' have fucking gone to prison by now.

* BerserkButton: Do not '''ever''' refer to her [[{{Doujinshi}} hard work]] as "picture diaries", [[ClingyJealousGirl or seduce Hayate in front of her]]. Oh, and '''never''' remind her of her [[ACupAngst horizontally challenged figure]] if you value your life.

* FriendOrIdolDecision: Nagi chooses to [[spoiler: destroy the Stone of Bonds, even though that means she will lose her inheritance, because its existence caused Hayate pain. She then tells him that he was ''her'' butler, not her money's.]]

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold

* IdleRich

* SpoiledBrat

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak

* TheSpock

* {{Manchild}}

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny

* TheAce
* ActionGirl

* BadassAdorable

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In her first few appearances, she was conceived simply as an older version of Nagi. She slowly morphed into a female version of Hayate, complete with a similar tragic backstory, ParodySue qualities and emotional denseness. While Hayate is mostly a NiceGuy, Hinagiku has a strong streak of {{Tsundere}}.

* FieryRedhead

* KendoTeamCaptain

* LoveHurts: One of her biggest fears, and implied to be the source of/related to her more noticeable fear of heights. This is because of [[spoiler:her parents abandoning her and her sister with a massive debt a couple days before her sixth birthday]]. This fear is also why she was in such denial over her love for Hayate for so long, and when she finally admitted it to herself she realized that she was afraid of loving him because loving him might make him disappear.

* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes:

* DemonSlaying

* TheQuietOne

* ShrinkingViolet

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold

* ObliviousToLove: Not exactly a ChasteHero since he does like Isumi and has been revealed to have a slight {{Meido}} {{fetish}}. However, he seems mostly unaware of the feelings of the girls interested in him, at least the ones who haven't outright stated their interest.

* WisdomFromTheGutter: [[spoiler:During the End of the World arc, a depressed Hinagiku calls her sister and says nothing of consequence. Yukiji instantly flies over and gives her some rather uplifting advice that manages to be both pessimistic and idealistic at the same time. Granted, she ruins it at the end by saying that even if everything goes wrong you can just get drunk, but up until that point she was doing well.]]

* ComedicSociopathy: She is cheerfully oblivious to Eight's love for her ''even after she agrees to go out with him''. Often times Eight is only causing trouble because of some task she forgot she even gave him or that he feels will make her notice him again.

* {{Robosexual}} - Technically, though it's pretty unlikely she would ever actually ''do anything'' with Eight.

->'''Makimura:''' Oh, she can do lewd things too.

* SproutingEars: Izumi popped up (probably) fox ears when Hayate, trying to conceal an involuntary change in his appearance, told her [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial he had nothing to hide]]. She promptly began trying to pull away the cloak he was wearing.

* ThoseTwoGirls:

* {{Otaku}}

* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: How she sees most every interaction in life.

* DysfunctionJunction: Averted. In spite of being the most insane of the principal cast, Sakuya ironically hails from the happiest, warmest, most-loving and functional family among them. This is a source of jealousy and discomfort for Nagi whenever she visits her.

* TsurimeEyes

* DirtyOldMan

* %% EvilOrphan: When he was a child

* LadyOfWar

* OjouRinglets

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Her idea of cruising seems to be near her car's maximum speed, to the point that Nagi was positive that if they'd hit a bump they'd go airborne and die. When forced to pick between driving with her or taking a helicopter with Isumi (after she'd crashed 3 times already on the way there) the girls were edging towards the copter...

* IdiotHair

* LittleMissBadass

* WaifFu

* BookDumb: Yet a ''master'' of a veritable arsenal of skills that no boy his age could or should have thanks to his life of slave labor.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Became '''this''' strong through the horrific and inhumane amount of child labor that he grew up with. [[spoiler: And the fact he betrayed Athena.]]

* ChasteHero: Dammit, man, don't you realize just how many '''gorgeous''' girls worship the ground you walk on?

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: One of the reasons why he hasn't hooked up with anyone yet is that he felt he didn't deserve any of them, [[spoiler: due to Athena's teachings]]

* NighInvulnerability: Gets hit by cars, trucks, giant robots, etc and recovers. [[spoiler:Thanks to a magic spell by Athena unlocking his potential.]]

* UnwantedHarem: "I said you lucky ''oblivious'' bastard!!"
** He's not so much clueless about it, as he doesn't think he's worthy of it. Due to what happened with Athena.

* HateSink: There's not a single redeeming trait between the two of them. [[spoiler:Even more so when they appear in the Finale Arc, showing that on top of their greed, they get a kick out of messing around with Hayate, eventually leading to him nearly being killed trying to save Nagi from her emotional despair.]].

* EngineeredPublicConfession: In the Finale Arc, Hayate's Mom taunts Hayate [[spoiler:into admitting that he was trying to kidnap Nagi and that everything was a big misunderstanding. Nagi, who was hidden the entire time, hears the whole thing which, alongside Maria leaving her several chapters ago, causes her to break down]].

* FauxAffablyEvil: You'd be hard pressed to find a more friendly and cheerful pair of heartless, criminally neglectful bastards.

* HateSink: There's not a single redeeming trait between the two of them. [[spoiler:Even more so when they appear in the Finale Arc, showing that on top of their greed, they get a kick out of messing around with Hayate]].

* BoobsOfSteel: Invoked by its absence: Hinagiku is completely flat chested and Gilbert decides this must mean she's extremely weak. He's quite wrong, of course.

%%* BoobsOfSteel

* HurtingHero: Briefly towards the end of the Greece Arc, due to [[spoiler: Hayate realizing he loved Athena as she was about to confess to him; after turning around for a minute to hide her tears she told him to confess his feelings to Athena. Later that night, disguised as Silver Red, she also helps in the final battle to save Athena, afterward leaving Hayate and Athena alone together and telling Isumi "a hero can't show the tears under her mask"]]. Fortunately she recovered a bit after they made it back home.

* [[RenaissanceMan Renaissance Woman]]: Student Council president, idol singer, expert in swords and kendo, masterful in fighting, demon slaying, and among many other skills.

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Do I Have To Ride A Plane?!]]

* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Three Girls]]: Though after awhile, Izumi proved to be much more popular than the other two and got an expanded role as a result. A later chapter lampshades it when girls like Hinagiku or Izumi get birthday chapters, but Risa practically has to beg for a focus chapter. And still doesn't really get one.

* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Three Girls]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Hayate previously said that there are no second chances for his parents, and he makes good on that promise [[spoiler:by smashing Shun's face in the moment he sees him]]. Then, in the final chapter, [[spoiler:Ikusa picks up where Hayate left off and crushes Shun's face with his fist while Hisui attacks his wife]].

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: When Hisui happens to attack his parents in the final chapter, he stops his father's attempt to escape by punching him into a tree, and prepares to continue beating him up without killing him]].

* {{Bishonen}}: With the required ''BishieSparkle'', no less!

* AccidentalTruth: Miki and Risa accidentally give Izumi's [[OverprotectiveDad dad]] the impression that Izumi is in love with Hayate, and just to stir up trouble, they don't bother correcting his misunderstanding. But Izumi's LuminescentBlush when the two laughingly explain this to '''her''' [suggests he's right after all.

* OverprotectiveDad: Her father. So very much.

* AccidentalTruth: Accidentally give Izumi's [[OverprotectiveDad dad]] the impression that Izumi is in love with Hayate, and just to stir up trouble, they don't bother correcting his misunderstanding. But Izumi's LuminescentBlush when the two laughingly explain this to '''her''' suggests he's right after all.

* CosplayOtakuGirl: Notably, she has cosplayed as [[{{VisualNovel/FateStayNight}} Saber]] and almost [[{{LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya}} Haruhi]] in ''Heaven is a Place on Earth''.

* ShanaClone: Has the distinction of being one of Big 4 {{Trope Codifier}}s of the trope. She's a small, flat-chested {{Tsundere}} rich heiress with blonde hair tied into long GirlishPigtails and often wearing Grade S ZettaiRyouiki. She's voiced by Creator/RieKugimiya, on top of that. She definitely treats her love interest a lot better than most examples, though.

* TinyTyrannicalGirl: Downplayed. She doesn't boss Hayate around nor treats him as inferior like other {{Tsundere}} of [[ShanaClone her type]], but she's still spoiled and expects Hayate to do anything she wants.

* PromotionToParent: Even though [[{{Manchild}} Yukiji]], her [[HardDrinkingPartyGirl drunken lush]] of a [[ChristmasCake twenty-EIGHT year old big sister]] is her ''nominal'' guardian, it's mostly the ''other'' way round.

* ChristmasCake: Though it seems she only cares about it as a matter of appearances.

* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: In the beginning, but eventually his parents' antics weren't [[MoralEventHorizon played for laughs so much anymore]], hence a SubvertedTrope.

** She stopped two armed kidnappers ''cold''. See SmoochOfVictory for details.

* SmoochOfVictory: In a [[GenderInvertedTrope gender swapped twist]], she agrees to rescue a kidnapped Saki for Wataru only if she is given this by him. Wataru begrudgingly accepts and "pays up front". By the time Hayate (who was also helping) catches up to Saki, she's standing in the middle of the street unharmed, but confused while the kidnappers are tied up in a trashcan with their car impaled by a giant cross.

* HitodamaLight: A pair of floating flames indicates Lynn is a ghost.

* TheShortGuyWithGlasses

* HotScientist

* RefugeInAudacity: The abuse they put Hayate [[spoiler: and his older brother]] is so over-the-top that ''nobody'' with any authority believes it, and by the time anybody does, they've already long-departed to parts unknown. [[spoiler:Whenthey eventually do return, it takes them ruining Nagi's life and her recklessness nearly killing their own son for anyone to do anything about the two.]]

* RefugeInAudacity: The abuse they put Hayate [[spoiler: and his older brother]] is so over-the-top that ''nobody'' with any authority believes it, and by the time anybody does, they've already long-departed to parts unknown.

* {{The Sociopath}}s: They have almost no empathy, are downright sadistic when you take in the fact that they only [[spoiler: reappear and attempt to ruin their son’s life]] just to ''fuck with him'', and are extremely manipulative.

* GrumpyBear: [[spoiler:Beneath his NiceGuy exterior, he's actually the most cynical character in the series, justified given his horrid childhood.]]
