%%Let's set some ground rules for consistency, shall we?
%%
%%English names for everything, except to note name changes in the character entries (and in cases where we don't have English names yet).
%%Shorthand for the second game should be capitalized as mk2, not [=Mk2=] or mk-2. For the third game, use Victory, not V, since the English name has been confirmed to use the former, and the Japanese title has both.
%%Do not call mk2 a sequel, except where it's the name of a trope. mk2 is a continuity reboot, and therefore not a sequel to anything.
%%
%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample says to provide complete context for tropes.
%% Commented out examples require context before they may be uncommented.

This page lists all characters in ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia'', the first game of the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series, and the tropes associated with them. Tropes specific to their portrayal in the other games of the series belong on the pages for those games.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:[=CPUs=]]]
!!General CPU Tropes

* BoobsOfSteel: Each character's chest size seems indicative of their representative system's processing power and/or memory, and they also get bust increases upon transforming into their SuperMode forms.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: All [=CPUs=] and CPU Candidates have a power symbol in their eyes when in HDD.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
** Neptune is '''Sanguine''', being the most outgoing and cheerful of the four.
** Noire is '''Melancholic''', being solitary and prone to hide her feelings.
** Blanc is '''Choleric''', being the quickest to anger.
** Vert is '''Phlegmatic''', being the voice of reason in the group and generally the nicest.
* MoeAnthropomorphism: Of various consoles.
* {{Physical God}}dess: They all are this.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: They all look like young ladies (or younger) but they’re really waaay older than that.
* SwordAndGun: For this game only, all the [=CPUs=] carry handguns alongside their primary melee weapons, and can use them in combat to perform gun attacks. Notably this is the only way of inflicting elemental damage on enemies via use of elemental ammo. ''Victory'' and the three remakes relegate all their gun attacks to EX assists, while ''mk2'' and ''Victory II'' remove those attacks entirely.[[note]]''Victory'' introduced the [=EXE=] Drive mechanic, so ''mk2'' doesn't have them. ''Victory II'' removed EX assists and finishers.[[/note]]

!![[UsefulNotes/Sega32X Neptune/Purple Heart]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieTanaka (Japanese), Creator/MelissaFahn (English)
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/NeptuneNormalForm_423.jpg]]

* AmnesiacGod: After she falls from Celestia, she’s left completely unaware of her identity as Purple Heart.
* BigEater: She loves to eat.
* BoyishShortHair: She has short hair as Neptune, as is rather tomboyish.
* BraidsOfAction: As Purple Heart.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: It is shown throughout the game that her train of thought is not a sturdy one.
* {{Crunchtastic}}: She sometimes uses this, as seen with this line addressed to White Heart:
-->'''Neptune:''' Seriously, what's up with you? You were super mad, and now you're all smirkalicious.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Eggplants. As she claims they're "not human food".
* GenkiGirl: In her normal form.
* GirlyRun: She runs like this in her normal form.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Is the hero of the story, and uses {{Katana|sAreJustBetter}}, [[{{BFS}} Broadswords]], and {{Laser Blade}}s. Ultimately many will see that KatanasAreJustBetter; turns come up sooner, [[ElementalPowers gun attacks]] become stronger, and Purple Heart only uses katanas regardless of what she had equipped as Neptune.
* HeroicSafeMode: Neptune suffers from this after her attempt to get the other goddesses to help her fight Arfoire.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: One of Neptune's battle quotes involves this.
* KonamiCode: Can occasionally be heard reciting part of this while using her first LimitBreak, only to stop and decide that [[CheatersNeverProsper she has no use for codes anyway]].
* LadyOfWar: Her Purple Heart personality.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After she falls from Celestia.
* MeaningfulName [=/=] PunnyName: Just about the only name more appropriate for the anthropomorphic representation of Creator/{{Sega}} would be "Saturn", their ill-fated 5th generation console.
* {{Moe}}: [[invoked]] Called such by IF in one of the cutscenes.
* JackOfAllStats: As Neptune.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: [[http://www.justin.tv/evolutionxrev/b/268767788 Apparently, Neptune doesn't mind hugging someone from the back.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: She’s got purple hair and purple eyes and she’s quite strong in both of her forms.
* ShipTease: Many of the official art has her doing this with Noire.
* SlapOnTheWristNuke: The CPU Neptune attack has her transform into a spaceship, fly out into space, and then has the scene zoom out to show the entire landmass you're currently on before firing off a WaveMotionGun, destroying the entire thing. However there's a disclaimer down on the bottom of the screen:
--> [[LampshadeHanging *This isn't actually happening.]]
* SplitPersonality: Neptune is a GenkiGirl, while her alter ego Purple Heart seems to be more of a LadyOfWar.
* SwordAndGun: Neptune seems to keep a sword and a gun on her, but we never see [[HyperspaceArsenal where she gets the gun]]. Her appearances in later games write out her handgun proficiency.
* TotallyRadical: She tends to use some 80s/90s slang such as "bad dude", her death cry of "I'm... outies...", and even "totally rad" at one point. She also has a tinge of ValleyGirl in her voice. [[FridgeBrilliance Keep in mind that]] [[JustifiedTrope she is supposed to represent]] Creator/{{SEGA}}, who were all about being TotallyRadical in the 90s.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Custard pudding.

!![[UsefulNotes/Xbox360 Vert/Green Heart]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RinaSato (Japanese), Creator/TaraPlatt (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Vert_7156.jpg]]

* ActorAllusion: Japan-only. Shares the same weapon as [[VideoGame/CrossEdge Mikoto]]. Not to be confused with the other [[Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun Mikoto]] voiced by the same seiyuu.
* CoolBigSis: Towards the other Godesses.
* CrossPlayer: In the [[ShowWithinAShow game "Four Goddesses Online"]], she is stated to play a male character.
* GamerChick: She quite enjoys playing games.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: As Vert only.
* HeavySleeper: When you see Green Heart for the first time, she's just waking up and ''goes back to sleep'' while IF was talking with her. A [[NarmCharm funny nod]] to the "Red Ring of Death".
** [[NonSequiturThud Non-Sequitur Snooze:]]
-->'''Vert:''' Most people speak like you at first... but... I don't like... bald people...
* TheHedonist: Green Heart is not just a gamer girl but also a hedonist. Most of her blog talks about her recent parties and the banquets she had.
* MeaningfulName: "Vert" means "green" in French, and she's wearing green, which also represents the Xbox 360.
* TheNicknamer: She doesn't create them herself, but she picks up upon nicknames Compa assigns characters, and enjoys using them as a means to be less formal.
* PhenotypeStereotype: Blonde, blue-eyed, busty American.
* PowerDyesYourHair: Her hair turns a minty Green in her goddess form.
* ThisIsADrill: Green Heart's spears transform into these.
* {{Underboobs}}: She plays this trope straight. Neptune even refers to her as such.
* YaoiFangirl: When she isn't playing an MMORPG, Vert would probably make any guy who think she is an easy lay will be in for a VERY rude shock (namely when she wants you to bring friends).

!![[UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 Noire/Black Heart]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AsamiImai (Japanese), Creator/ErinFitzgerald (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/NeptuniaNoire_4984.jpg]]
* CatchPhrase: Usually a variation of "Only does everything". A reference to how the [=PS3=] was advertised.
* CosplayOtakuGirl: In one cutscene, Noire is implied to be one.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Her main colour is black, and in spite her arrogance, she's one of the main heroines.
* {{Expy}}:
** Somehow, Noire really resembles Azusa from ''Manga/KOn''. It's mildly implied that the resemblance was what inspired her to learn how to play a guitar.
*** In the anime, Noire can be seen cosplaying as Azusa in a rapid-fire montage.
** Both Noire and Azusa resemble Kooh from ''VideoGame/{{Pangya}}''.
* FakingAmnesia: She does this when she encounters Neptune as Noire, not wanting to reveal her identity.
* GirlishPigtails: A long, twin-tail-ish, pair held by black and blue ribbons.
* GlassCannon: As Black Heart with the default Processor setup.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Her [[FatalFlaw fatal flaw]].
* LettingHerHairDown: The first thing she does before transforming.
* LightningBruiser: As Noire.
* MeaningfulName: "Noire" means "black" in French.
* {{Otaku}}: Noire is implied to be one.
* PowerDyesYourHair: Her hair turns white as Black Heart.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Her hair looks more brown, but she still fits this.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: Her pistol of choice.
* RoyalRapier: Fights with a fencer stance with her rapiers and one-handed longswords.
* ShipTease: Many of the official art has her doing this with Neptune.
* {{Tsundere}}: All the way, especially towards Neptune.

!![[UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} Blanc/White Heart]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaAsumi (Japanese), Creator/WendeeLee (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Blanc_6081.jpg]]

* ACupAngst: BerserkButton is someone pointing out her flat chest. Can actually double as a reference to how Nintendo is frequently derided as kiddie trash, while the Playstation and [=XBox=] counterparts are more heavily stacked (''especially'' the [=XBox=]) since they're the more "cool and mature" consoles.
* BadassBookworm: She likes to read and she’s quite powerful in both forms.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: While she's quiet and bookish as Blanc, the same can't be said for White Heart.
* BloodKnight: This is her personality as White Heart.
* ButchLesbian: Neptune calls Blanc this in her recruitment scene.
* CrackPairing: Neptune [[InvokedTrope suggests]] that maybe Blanc has a thing for Compa, just because Blanc was complaining that Neptune doesn't get upset over being insulted like Compa would.
* DropTheHammer: Blanc's main weapon is a hammer.
* {{Expy}}:
** Blanc is pretty much a white [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Vita]]. [[FollowTheLeader Which is now]] [[HilariousInHindsight extremely hilarious]] now that the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita is out.
* HairTriggerTemper: Don't her calm exterior fool you, she gets angry quite easily.
* IdiotHair: Has one as White Heart, though she isn't stupid to the least.
* MightyGlacier: Of the four Goddesses, Blanc has the highest defense stat. This is a reference to how the Nintendo consoles tend to be MadeOfIndestructium.
* SirSwearsALot: At first, she looks calm and collected… But it won't be even ten minutes into the game that you will find out that she doesn't shy away from spewing swearwords like an angry high school student… especially when angry! Possibly a reference to the fact that, while the Wii is considered a kid's console, it also has ''VideoGame/TheHouseOfTheDeadOverkill'' in its library, a game which made the Guinness book of world records for its sheer absurd vulgarity.
* MeaningfulName: "Blanc" means "white" in French.
* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: Her hobby is writing light novels, and one of her aspirations in life is to get the Gamindustri Amateur Writer's Prize.
* PowerDyesYourHair: As White heart, her hair turns light blue.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes turn red as White Heart, who is… A force to be reckoned with.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She’s mostly either calm or pissed off but she has a soft side.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Makers]]
!!General Maker Tropes
* MoeAnthropomorphism: Of video game producers.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: In most settings these characters would be considered fairly powerful. Only problem is they're working with a bunch of PhysicalGods.

!!IF[[note]]short for Idea Factory[[/note]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaUeda (Japanese), Creator/KateHiggins (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/IF_7834.jpg]]

* BadassLongcoat: IF wears one.
* BifurcatedWeapon: IF's weapon looks like some WolverineClaws with guns attached to it. It's also the only way she shoots at enemies.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder
* ChickMagnet: With all of the LesYay in the game, it's somewhat surprising that a lot more of it involves her than Neptune. [[FanGirl Unless the character in question is Vert or 5pb]] she's not amused by this.
* DeadpanSnarker: This is about a third of IF's dialogue due to feeling like the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] compared to her teammates.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Is outwardly cold to Neptune and Compa upon first meeting them, but gradually warms up to them as the game goes on. This is even reflected in her S-Rank quotes.
--> '''IF (early in the game):''' As expected. Not worth celebrating, but... nice.
--> '''IF (towards the end of the game):''' [[HypocriticalHumor No way... am I dreaming? Awesome, we're so awesome! Yay!]]
* {{Fangirl}}: IF states that she is a fangirl of 5pb.
* FightingYourFriend: One mid-game decision will cause her and Compa to attack Neptune due to her acting in an increasingly irrational manner. [[spoiler:Specifically, restoring Neptune's memories will cause her to act like the spoiled brat she was before her memory loss, leading to IF and Compa attacking her to put a stop to this.]]
* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: Her sleeves are a bit too long and get in the way of the built in guns to her [[BladeBelowTheShoulder Qatars and Claws]]. She may point this out, or [[NoFourthWall scold you]] for just not noticing this problem, while using gun attacks.
* InSeriesNickname: Iffy. Ai-chan (As in the "I" in IF) in [[DubNameChange Japan]]. Not exactly happy with it.
* JackOfAllStats: More so than Neptune as she also brings in a decent amount of healing capabilities.
* KnowledgeBroker: Her excessive supply of cell phones is not just for show, they're used to keep in contact with [[TheSyndicate The Guild]] across all four worlds.
* TheLancer: To Neptune.
* NotSoStoic: While she'll try to keep things serious, she'll go into a HeroicBSOD over her phones breaking or start blatantly BreakingTheFourthWall when [[RageBreakingPoint pushed too far]]. She'll also freak out sometimes if faced with an enemy the group generally considers too powerful.
* SupportingLeader: Right from the start she points out that it's actually [[SupportingProtagonist Neptune]] joining her. She's the one with all the connections and she's the one that figures things out, but she tends to let Neptune and Compa stay in the spotlight. Though the [[DownloadableContent DLC]] quests for new characters [[ADayInTheLimelight focus quite a bit on her]], Neptune and Compa receive a passing mention at best.
* TeamDad: She’s this to the others, being more calm and mature than them.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: IF's the tomboy to Compa's Girly Girl.
* TooManyBelts: IF's design looks like she has a ton of belts on her clothes.
** And neck collars for everyone!
** She's only got two, three if you count the collar. One for her pants and one on her coat to hold her nine cellphones. Admittedly, the cuffs of her coat do look a bit like belts, but they're not.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. This is pointed out by name.
* WolverineClaws: Her main weapon in battle.
!!Compa[[note]]Short for Compile Heart[[/note]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanakoSakai (Japanese), Creator/CristinaValenzuela (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Compa_3870.jpg]]

* CombatMedic: Unfortunately she's also a GlassCannon and will be among the [[ShootTheMedicFirst first to die]] [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard in boss fights.]] If IF isn't around, or alive, to pick her back up expect a TotalPartyKill to follow soon after.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Compa always seems to fall down whenever she is shown after a battle all the time. We do get to see a PantyShot every single time.
* TheDitz: Compa gets rather spacey at times.
* GiantMedicalSyringe: In the games where she is playable, a comically oversized syringe is Compa's weapon.
* GirlyRun: She runs like this.
* {{Moe}}: [[{{Invoked}} Called such by IF in one of the cutscenes.]]
* PlayingWithSyringes: They also double as guns.
--> '''Compa''': [[DeadlyDoctor "This ]]''[[DeadlyDoctor will]]'' [[DeadlyDoctor hurt!"]]
* TeamMom: She fills this role in comparison to IF’s TeamDad role.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Compa's the Girly Girl to to IF's Tomboy.

!!Gust[[note]]Creator/GustCorporation[[/note]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsukoKuwatani (Japanese), Creator/CassandraLeeMorris (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gust_7384.jpg]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[UnwittingPawn Will secretly take advantage of people]] [[AssholeVictim trying to do so to her]], [[MagnificentBastard while setting up legal ownership of concepts and items so that even if they catch on, she can sue them into oblivion if they try anything.]] [[spoiler: [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu Blackmails Vert]] about staying silent on her "Kichiku Megane Harlem Set for Virgins", especially to keep that info from IF as Vert fears that she would become incredibly disappointed with her. She also sells Vert a voucher to play an MMO for free, for 10,000 Credits. She was surprised Vert jumped immediately at the offer, though, thinking it was a steal.]]
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She never appeared again after ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2 mk2]]'', since the real-life Creator/GustCorporation was bought and absorbed into Koei-Tecmo. Her role in ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth1 Re;Birth1]]'' was written out entirely, and her role in ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth2SistersGeneration Re;Birth2]]'' was taken by Broccoli.
* GameBreakingBug: Her revival skills have been known to not work right and just heal her, considerably lowering her use in battle.
* OptionalPartyMember: Both Nisa and Gust are, and with some [[DownloadableContent DLC]], they can become playable as well. Later on, 5pb and RED are also playable.
* TheSmartGirl: She’s this to rest of the group, [[TheDitz not that]] [[CloudCuckooLander that's particularly hard]].
* ThirdPersonPerson: At times in the English dub.
* TokenEvilTeammate: She’s sort of this, considering her tendency to blackmail and scam people.
* VerbalTic: In the Japanese version of the game, Gust's ''desu-no''. [[Manga/RozenMaiden Where have I heard this before]], [[ActorAllusion considering who voiced Gust]]?
* YouNoTakeCandle: In the English dub, she doesn't have the best grasp on grammar.

!![[Creator/NipponIchi Nisa/Nippon Ichi]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriMizuhashi (Japanese), Creator/MichelleRuff (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Nisa_4512.jpg]]

* ACupAngst: Her BerserkButton is someone pointing out her flat chest.
* TheBigGirl: She’s this to the rest of the group.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She never appeared in the series again after ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2 mk2]]'', for reasons unknown. Her role in ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth1 Re;Birth1]]'' was written out entirely, and her role in ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth2SistersGeneration Re;Birth2]]'' was filled by RED of all characters, who had been suffering from this trope since the first game.
** She has, however, been making the rounds as a cameo DLC character in recent ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' games. Unlike most characters, though, she doesn't reference her home series in her description - it merely reads that she's an anthropomorphism of NIS.
*** In ''Disgaea 5'', however, she does off-handedly reference the world of Gamindustri in hub flavor text.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and blue eyes.
* DubNameChange: Her name was changed from Nippon Ichi to Nisa, to represent NIS America.
* DynamicEntry: [[CallingYourAttacks Justice Kick!]]
* GogglesDoNothing: Wears a pair of brown goggles on her head.
* LargeHam: She’s quite loud and energetic.
* NavelDeepNeckline: Nisa's outfit is unzipped down to the navel. The cleavage part is debatable because of her flat chest.
* OptionalPartyMember: Both Nisa and Gust are, and with some [[DownloadableContent DLC]], they can become playable as well.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: She wears a long, red scarf.
* ScreamingWarrior: She tends to yell while she’s fighting.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Prinny Gun. It's a gun and a LaserBlade.

!!5pb./Lyrica
-->'''Voiced by:''' nao (Japanese), Creator/MelaLee (English, first game), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (English, mk2 onwards), Creator/CaitlinGlass (English Anime)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5pb_597.jpg]]

* HeadphonesEqualIsolation
* GoodAngelBadAngel: They debate over whether or not to eat someone else's sweets mostly.
* LadyOfBlackMagic
* LuminescentBlush: She gets one when she finds IF watching her in one of the scenes.
* TheMedic: The only character capable of healing the party outside of the [[ScrappyMechanic Item Skills]]. As with everything she does, the PowerOfRock is involved. Specifically suddenly being on stage, performing a short [[InstrumentalThemeTune Instrumental version]] of [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Ryuusei no Bifrost]].
* OptionalPartyMember: With some [[DownloadableContent DLC]] she becomes playable. Otherwise she's just seen on Hi-Five Radio, reading off what various [=NPCs=] have to say about the party after finishing quests.
* ThePowerOfRock: Her method of employing Elemental Attacks, and her stats are skewed in favor of this over resorting to [[InstrumentOfMurder beating things to death with her guitar.]]
* ShyBlueHairedGirl
* ShrinkingViolet: While incredibly confident while singing or on the radio, at any other time she becomes incredibly timid and shy. [[FanGirl IF intends to help her get over this problem.]]
* SixthRanger
* StageName: Her real name is [[MeaningfulName Lyrica]], though aside from IF [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname almost no one knows it.]] This is because this name is exclusive to the English localization, and not present in the original Japanese, where instead she simply has a civilian persona of "5pb-chan".
* {{Stripperific}}: One of the few cases where this is justified, as she is an IdolSinger, and thus her outfit is ''supposed'' to be alluring.

!!RED
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaeIto (Japanese), Creator/CarrieKeranen (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/RED_Neptunia_9741.jpg]]

* AirplaneArms
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: At [[RelationshipValues "+100 Charisma"]], she'll get to have her [[OptionalSexualEncounter "Hotel Event"]] with IF. The event she gets is[[spoiler: being stuck sick in bed, while IF waits around for her to get better]] before joining the party.
* BrickJoke: Delivers one from Gust and her own at the same time. She eats IF's blanc-manger, and later sends her Blanc's Manju. After joining the team she [[spoiler: gives IF a "Kichiku Megane Harlem Set for Virgins" because she notices that IF likes Vert and that Vert has one as well. After a brief moment of disappointment she just passes it off as RED mixing names up again.]]
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Doesn't appear in later games, since the company she's based on was bought out by Chinese firm [=UltiZen=] Games. She '''finally''' comes back as a playable character in RE;Birth 2.
* CrashIntoHello
* HaremSeeker: She wants wifeys. IF is Wifey Number 1.
* GenkiGirl: In almost all of the scenes she appears in she tends to act like this.
* GenreSavvy: [[NoFourthWall The game makes no attempt to hide that it's a game]], so what's the best way to get wifeys? Add RelationshipValues to the events she's involved in, bringing up the possibilities of both YouLoseAtZeroTrust and LevelUpAtIntimacy5. [[CrazyEnoughToWork It mostly works]], she just doesn't get her [[OptionalSexualEncounter "Hotel Event"]] with IF in the way she hoped.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: [[ShoutOut Yo-yos]]. [[VideoGame/StarTropics Because there are legends of a hero who fought off aliens with one.]]
* MeaningfulName: In so many ways, including combined with FunWithAcronyms: Red. [[WordOfGod R:]] [[FieryRedhead Red hair]] in an [[ShapedLikeItself R shape]]. [[WordOfGod E:]] Her cup size. [[WordOfGod D:]] She has a dragon. She also refers to herself as the Royal Emperor Dragon when joining the party.
* OptionalPartyMember: Only appears in the game if you've got the required [[DownloadableContent DLC]].
* SixthRanger
* ToiletHumor: In one of her event "Red Alert" RED get chased by a upset Lady White Heart for farting loudly in front of her.
-->'''Red:''' ''" Phew! I think I lost her... Lady White Heart's good at chasing people! She didn't have to get so upset... I know it was like a grenade explosion, but I'm just a human. Everyone cuts a fart once in a while. Plus, the louder it is, the less smell it has. So they say. Anyway, that one was really sound-barrier shatteringly loud. ...She'll get over it soon."''
** She also (loudly) asks if Nepgear needs to pee when the gang is in Lowee in Re;birth2.
-->'''Red:''' What's up? Oh, I bet it's tinkle time, isn't it? The cold makes me pee a lot, too, so go for it!

!!Arfoire
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiakiTakahashi (Japanese), Creator/LauraPost (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Arfoire_7217.png]]

* AnnoyingLaugh: Not opinionated, the characters [[LampshadeHanging in game]] find Arfoire's laugh to be annoying and it's the way [[IncomingHam she announces herself]] half the time!
* BlingBlingBang: Carries an ornate musket as her firearm.
* ChewingTheScenery: One of her death quotes is "[[ICanStillFight I can still...]] '''''[[ICanStillFight I CAN STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...!!!]]'''''"
* InvincibleVillain: Pretty much what can sum her up.
* DevilInPlainSight: Ganache certainly thinks so.
* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: The personification of this.
* TheDragon: To [[ShroudedInMyth Overlord Momus]]. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope She actually]] [[BasedOnAGreatBigLie made it all up.]] She's the BigBad.]]
** Funnily enough, [[spoiler: her true form IS a dragon.]]
* DubNameChange: Magiquone in Japan, which is their equivalent of the R4.
* EvilIsHammy
* FemmeFatale
* GodhoodSeeker: [[spoiler:Was a PhysicalGod, gave it up, wants it back.]]
* GodOfEvil
* HotWitch
* LargeHam
* MeaningfulName: Her name refers to the [=R4DS=] (short for Revolution for [=DS=]) cards commonly used for piracy.
* NotQuiteDead: Happens a few times.
* OmnicidalManiac
* PlayingAgainstType: BIG TIME for [[Creator/ChiakiTakahashi her seiyuu]]. Arfoire is devoid of all sympathetic virtues many of her roles, even antagonistic ones, though it's probably intentional.
** Also counts as PigeonholedVoiceActor in the case with the [[Creator/LauraPost English voice actress]].
* SignatureLaugh: "Haaaaaah ha ha ha ha ha!"

!!Histoire
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MikaKanai (Japanese), Creator/StephanieSheh (English)

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Histoire_8.jpg]]

* BigGood
* {{Emoticon}}: Uses this a lot.
* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Unfortunately it'll take [[RunningGag three days]] for her to find the information needed in her, so it's better to just go out and figure things out without her.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: She's also a book
* PhysicalGod: Can't do anything without the other Goddesses' consent though.
* RuleOfThree: Takes her three days to do anything useful.

!!Ganache
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LiamOBrien (English)

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ganache_3711.png]]

* AffablyEvil: He may be a jackass, but he's ''polite'' about it, going as far as to turn on the lights when he had Neptune and her party trapped because "total darkness" would be too cruel.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: During the time you spend in Lastation (read: half of the game), Ganache himself states he's manipulated everything from the start up the the current point, from the moment he heard of the Console War.]]
* TheDragon: Of a manner, he could easily be seen as filling this role to Lady Black Heart, if one was to consider her a villain.
** DragonWithAnAgenda
* [[spoiler:EvilGenius]]
* GadgeteerGenius
* GenreSavvy: When Arfoire shows up to make a deal, he knows not to trust her automatically.
* HostageSituation: [[spoiler:Conjures up something of the like for the Tech Expo, to make sure Neptune and her party go there quickly.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Solicitor (IF) or "Mr." Solicitor (Compa).
* {{Jerkass}}: And '''HOW'''.
* OutOfFocus: After the Lastation section of the first game. Doesn't make him any less of a douche.
* ShootTheHostage: [[spoiler:He outright says something regrettable will happen to the Expo attendees if Neptune and her party don't go there quickly.]]
* SmugSnake
* TheFaceless: Standard with NPC's of the game.

[[quoteright:281:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jade_5224.png]]
--> Voiced by Creator/SamRiegel

* BitchInSheepsClothing
* DeathAsComedy:
-->'''Jade''': I'm a member of the Guild. I live on Leanbox, but I don't follow Lady Green Heart...
-->'''Neptune''': ...Why're you telling me now? What's up with this?
-->'''Jade''': [[TooDumbToLive I... I'm into girls... like... Lady White Heart.]]
-->*grack*
-->'''IF''': ...And that's that. You finished him off.
-->'''Neptune''': Oops. Well, that was for ruining the moment.
* GreatEscape: Breaks IF, Compa, and Neptune out of the prison they're in.

!!Yvoire
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PatrickSeitz (English)

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Yvoire_2095.png]]

* CorruptChurch: Is the leader of it and it doesn't ''begin'' to describe him.
** [[spoiler: To put things in perspective, he tried to get IF to poison Neptune, ''went ahead and did it himself'', then arrested all three girls as "criminals". Jade later goes into more detail about Yvoire, going on about how he destroyed any documents pertaining to the purge of the Guild, refusing to acknowledge the atrocities committed.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Remember Ganache? Yvoire is a friggin' competitor for his title at this.
* LeaveYourQuestTest: Gives IF an offer [[spoiler: to become a Leanbox citizen, so she can worship Lady Green Heart freely]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything he does is for the sake of Lady Green Heart.

%%Let's set some ground rules for consistency, shall we?
%%
%%English names for everything, except to note name changes in the character entries (and in cases where we don't have English names yet).
%%Shorthand for the second game should be capitalized as mk2, not [=Mk2=] or mk-2. For the third game, use Victory, not V, since the English name has been confirmed to use the former, and the Japanese title has both.
%%Do not call mk2 a sequel, except where it's the name of a trope. mk2 is a continuity reboot, and therefore not a sequel to anything.
%%
%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample says to provide complete context for tropes.
%% Commented out examples require context before they may be uncommented.

This page lists all characters in ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia'', the first game of the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series, and the tropes associated with them. Tropes specific to their portrayal in the other games of the series belong on the pages for those games.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:[=CPUs=]]]
!!General CPU Tropes

* BoobsOfSteel: Each character's chest size seems indicative of their representative system's processing power and/or memory, and they also get bust increases upon transforming into their SuperMode forms.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: All [=CPUs=] and CPU Candidates have a power symbol in their eyes when in HDD.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
** Neptune is '''Sanguine''', being the most outgoing and cheerful of the four.
** Noire is '''Melancholic''', being solitary and prone to hide her feelings.
** Blanc is '''Choleric''', being the quickest to anger.
** Vert is '''Phlegmatic''', being the voice of reason in the group and generally the nicest.
* MoeAnthropomorphism: Of various consoles.
* {{Physical God}}dess: They all are this.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: They all look like young ladies (or younger) but they’re really waaay older than that.
* SwordAndGun: For this game only, all the [=CPUs=] carry handguns alongside their primary melee weapons, and can use them in combat to perform gun attacks. Notably this is the only way of inflicting elemental damage on enemies via use of elemental ammo. ''Victory'' and the three remakes relegate all their gun attacks to EX assists, while ''mk2'' and ''Victory II'' remove those attacks entirely.[[note]]''Victory'' introduced the [=EXE=] Drive mechanic, so ''mk2'' doesn't have them. ''Victory II'' removed EX assists and finishers.[[/note]]

!![[UsefulNotes/Sega32X Neptune/Purple Heart]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieTanaka (Japanese), Creator/MelissaFahn (English)
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/NeptuneNormalForm_423.jpg]]

* AmnesiacGod: After she falls from Celestia, she’s left completely unaware of her identity as Purple Heart.
* BigEater: She loves to eat.
* BoyishShortHair: She has short hair as Neptune, as is rather tomboyish.
* BraidsOfAction: As Purple Heart.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: It is shown throughout the game that her train of thought is not a sturdy one.
* {{Crunchtastic}}: She sometimes uses this, as seen with this line addressed to White Heart:
-->'''Neptune:''' Seriously, what's up with you? You were super mad, and now you're all smirkalicious.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Eggplants. As she claims they're "not human food".
* GenkiGirl: In her normal form.
* GirlyRun: She runs like this in her normal form.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Is the hero of the story, and uses {{Katana|sAreJustBetter}}, [[{{BFS}} Broadswords]], and {{Laser Blade}}s. Ultimately many will see that KatanasAreJustBetter; turns come up sooner, [[ElementalPowers gun attacks]] become stronger, and Purple Heart only uses katanas regardless of what she had equipped as Neptune.
* HeroicSafeMode: Neptune suffers from this after her attempt to get the other goddesses to help her fight Arfoire.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: One of Neptune's battle quotes involves this.
* KonamiCode: Can occasionally be heard reciting part of this while using her first LimitBreak, only to stop and decide that [[CheatersNeverProsper she has no use for codes anyway]].
* LadyOfWar: Her Purple Heart personality.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After she falls from Celestia.
* MeaningfulName [=/=] PunnyName: Just about the only name more appropriate for the anthropomorphic representation of Creator/{{Sega}} would be "Saturn", their ill-fated 5th generation console.
* {{Moe}}: [[invoked]] Called such by IF in one of the cutscenes.
* JackOfAllStats: As Neptune.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: [[http://www.justin.tv/evolutionxrev/b/268767788 Apparently, Neptune doesn't mind hugging someone from the back.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: She’s got purple hair and purple eyes and she’s quite strong in both of her forms.
* ShipTease: Many of the official art has her doing this with Noire.
* SlapOnTheWristNuke: The CPU Neptune attack has her transform into a spaceship, fly out into space, and then has the scene zoom out to show the entire landmass you're currently on before firing off a WaveMotionGun, destroying the entire thing. However there's a disclaimer down on the bottom of the screen:
--> [[LampshadeHanging *This isn't actually happening.]]
* SplitPersonality: Neptune is a GenkiGirl, while her alter ego Purple Heart seems to be more of a LadyOfWar.
* SwordAndGun: Neptune seems to keep a sword and a gun on her, but we never see [[HyperspaceArsenal where she gets the gun]]. Her appearances in later games write out her handgun proficiency.
* TotallyRadical: She tends to use some 80s/90s slang such as "bad dude", her death cry of "I'm... outies...", and even "totally rad" at one point. She also has a tinge of ValleyGirl in her voice. [[FridgeBrilliance Keep in mind that]] [[JustifiedTrope she is supposed to represent]] Creator/{{SEGA}}, who were all about being TotallyRadical in the 90s.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Custard pudding.

!![[UsefulNotes/Xbox360 Vert/Green Heart]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RinaSato (Japanese), Creator/TaraPlatt (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Vert_7156.jpg]]

* ActorAllusion: Japan-only. Shares the same weapon as [[VideoGame/CrossEdge Mikoto]]. Not to be confused with the other [[Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun Mikoto]] voiced by the same seiyuu.
* CoolBigSis: Towards the other Godesses.
* CrossPlayer: In the [[ShowWithinAShow game "Four Goddesses Online"]], she is stated to play a male character.
* GamerChick: She quite enjoys playing games.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: As Vert only.
* HeavySleeper: When you see Green Heart for the first time, she's just waking up and ''goes back to sleep'' while IF was talking with her. A [[NarmCharm funny nod]] to the "Red Ring of Death".
** [[NonSequiturThud Non-Sequitur Snooze:]]
-->'''Vert:''' Most people speak like you at first... but... I don't like... bald people...
* TheHedonist: Green Heart is not just a gamer girl but also a hedonist. Most of her blog talks about her recent parties and the banquets she had.
* MeaningfulName: "Vert" means "green" in French, and she's wearing green, which also represents the Xbox 360.
* TheNicknamer: She doesn't create them herself, but she picks up upon nicknames Compa assigns characters, and enjoys using them as a means to be less formal.
* PhenotypeStereotype: Blonde, blue-eyed, busty American.
* PowerDyesYourHair: Her hair turns a minty Green in her goddess form.
* ThisIsADrill: Green Heart's spears transform into these.
* {{Underboobs}}: She plays this trope straight. Neptune even refers to her as such.
* YaoiFangirl: When she isn't playing an MMORPG, Vert would probably make any guy who think she is an easy lay will be in for a VERY rude shock (namely when she wants you to bring friends).

!![[UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 Noire/Black Heart]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AsamiImai (Japanese), Creator/ErinFitzgerald (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/NeptuniaNoire_4984.jpg]]
* CatchPhrase: Usually a variation of "Only does everything". A reference to how the [=PS3=] was advertised.
* CosplayOtakuGirl: In one cutscene, Noire is implied to be one.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Her main colour is black, and in spite her arrogance, she's one of the main heroines.
* {{Expy}}:
** Somehow, Noire really resembles Azusa from ''Manga/KOn''. It's mildly implied that the resemblance was what inspired her to learn how to play a guitar.
*** In the anime, Noire can be seen cosplaying as Azusa in a rapid-fire montage.
** Both Noire and Azusa resemble Kooh from ''VideoGame/{{Pangya}}''.
* FakingAmnesia: She does this when she encounters Neptune as Noire, not wanting to reveal her identity.
* GirlishPigtails: A long, twin-tail-ish, pair held by black and blue ribbons.
* GlassCannon: As Black Heart with the default Processor setup.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Her [[FatalFlaw fatal flaw]].
* LettingHerHairDown: The first thing she does before transforming.
* LightningBruiser: As Noire.
* MeaningfulName: "Noire" means "black" in French.
* {{Otaku}}: Noire is implied to be one.
* PowerDyesYourHair: Her hair turns white as Black Heart.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Her hair looks more brown, but she still fits this.
* RevolversAreJustBetter: Her pistol of choice.
* RoyalRapier: Fights with a fencer stance with her rapiers and one-handed longswords.
* ShipTease: Many of the official art has her doing this with Neptune.
* {{Tsundere}}: All the way, especially towards Neptune.

!![[UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} Blanc/White Heart]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaAsumi (Japanese), Creator/WendeeLee (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Blanc_6081.jpg]]

* ACupAngst: BerserkButton is someone pointing out her flat chest. Can actually double as a reference to how Nintendo is frequently derided as kiddie trash, while the Playstation and [=XBox=] counterparts are more heavily stacked (''especially'' the [=XBox=]) since they're the more "cool and mature" consoles.
* BadassBookworm: She likes to read and she’s quite powerful in both forms.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: While she's quiet and bookish as Blanc, the same can't be said for White Heart.
* BloodKnight: This is her personality as White Heart.
* ButchLesbian: Neptune calls Blanc this in her recruitment scene.
* CrackPairing: Neptune [[InvokedTrope suggests]] that maybe Blanc has a thing for Compa, just because Blanc was complaining that Neptune doesn't get upset over being insulted like Compa would.
* DropTheHammer: Blanc's main weapon is a hammer.
* {{Expy}}:
** Blanc is pretty much a white [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Vita]]. [[FollowTheLeader Which is now]] [[HilariousInHindsight extremely hilarious]] now that the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita is out.
* HairTriggerTemper: Don't her calm exterior fool you, she gets angry quite easily.
* IdiotHair: Has one as White Heart, though she isn't stupid to the least.
* MightyGlacier: Of the four Goddesses, Blanc has the highest defense stat. This is a reference to how the Nintendo consoles tend to be MadeOfIndestructium.
* SirSwearsALot: At first, she looks calm and collected… But it won't be even ten minutes into the game that you will find out that she doesn't shy away from spewing swearwords like an angry high school student… especially when angry! Possibly a reference to the fact that, while the Wii is considered a kid's console, it also has ''VideoGame/TheHouseOfTheDeadOverkill'' in its library, a game which made the Guinness book of world records for its sheer absurd vulgarity.
* MeaningfulName: "Blanc" means "white" in French.
* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: Her hobby is writing light novels, and one of her aspirations in life is to get the Gamindustri Amateur Writer's Prize.
* PowerDyesYourHair: As White heart, her hair turns light blue.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes turn red as White Heart, who is… A force to be reckoned with.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She’s mostly either calm or pissed off but she has a soft side.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Makers]]
!!General Maker Tropes
* MoeAnthropomorphism: Of video game producers.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: In most settings these characters would be considered fairly powerful. Only problem is they're working with a bunch of PhysicalGods.

!!IF[[note]]short for Idea Factory[[/note]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaUeda (Japanese), Creator/KateHiggins (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/IF_7834.jpg]]

* BadassLongcoat: IF wears one.
* BifurcatedWeapon: IF's weapon looks like some WolverineClaws with guns attached to it. It's also the only way she shoots at enemies.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder
* ChickMagnet: With all of the LesYay in the game, it's somewhat surprising that a lot more of it involves her than Neptune. [[FanGirl Unless the character in question is Vert or 5pb]] she's not amused by this.
* DeadpanSnarker: This is about a third of IF's dialogue due to feeling like the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] compared to her teammates.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Is outwardly cold to Neptune and Compa upon first meeting them, but gradually warms up to them as the game goes on. This is even reflected in her S-Rank quotes.
--> '''IF (early in the game):''' As expected. Not worth celebrating, but... nice.
--> '''IF (towards the end of the game):''' [[HypocriticalHumor No way... am I dreaming? Awesome, we're so awesome! Yay!]]
* {{Fangirl}}: IF states that she is a fangirl of 5pb.
* FightingYourFriend: One mid-game decision will cause her and Compa to attack Neptune due to her acting in an increasingly irrational manner. [[spoiler:Specifically, restoring Neptune's memories will cause her to act like the spoiled brat she was before her memory loss, leading to IF and Compa attacking her to put a stop to this.]]
* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: Her sleeves are a bit too long and get in the way of the built in guns to her [[BladeBelowTheShoulder Qatars and Claws]]. She may point this out, or [[NoFourthWall scold you]] for just not noticing this problem, while using gun attacks.
* InSeriesNickname: Iffy. Ai-chan (As in the "I" in IF) in [[DubNameChange Japan]]. Not exactly happy with it.
* JackOfAllStats: More so than Neptune as she also brings in a decent amount of healing capabilities.
* KnowledgeBroker: Her excessive supply of cell phones is not just for show, they're used to keep in contact with [[TheSyndicate The Guild]] across all four worlds.
* TheLancer: To Neptune.
* NotSoStoic: While she'll try to keep things serious, she'll go into a HeroicBSOD over her phones breaking or start blatantly BreakingTheFourthWall when [[RageBreakingPoint pushed too far]]. She'll also freak out sometimes if faced with an enemy the group generally considers too powerful.
* SupportingLeader: Right from the start she points out that it's actually [[SupportingProtagonist Neptune]] joining her. She's the one with all the connections and she's the one that figures things out, but she tends to let Neptune and Compa stay in the spotlight. Though the [[DownloadableContent DLC]] quests for new characters [[ADayInTheLimelight focus quite a bit on her]], Neptune and Compa receive a passing mention at best.
* TeamDad: She’s this to the others, being more calm and mature than them.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: IF's the tomboy to Compa's Girly Girl.
* TooManyBelts: IF's design looks like she has a ton of belts on her clothes.
** And neck collars for everyone!
** She's only got two, three if you count the collar. One for her pants and one on her coat to hold her nine cellphones. Admittedly, the cuffs of her coat do look a bit like belts, but they're not.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. This is pointed out by name.
* WolverineClaws: Her main weapon in battle.
!!Compa[[note]]Short for Compile Heart[[/note]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanakoSakai (Japanese), Creator/CristinaValenzuela (English)

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Compa_3870.jpg]]

* CombatMedic: Unfortunately she's also a GlassCannon and will be among the [[ShootTheMedicFirst first to die]] [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard in boss fights.]] If IF isn't around, or alive, to pick her back up expect a TotalPartyKill to follow soon after.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Compa always seems to fall down whenever she is shown after a battle all the time. We do get to see a PantyShot every single time.
* TheDitz: Compa gets rather spacey at times.
* GiantMedicalSyringe: In the games where she is playable, a comically oversized syringe is Compa's weapon.
* GirlyRun: She runs like this.
* {{Moe}}: [[{{Invoked}} Called such by IF in one of the cutscenes.]]
* PlayingWithSyringes: They also double as guns.
--> '''Compa''': [[DeadlyDoctor "This ]]''[[DeadlyDoctor will]]'' [[DeadlyDoctor hurt!"]]
* TeamMom: She fills this role in comparison to IF’s TeamDad role.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Compa's the Girly Girl to to IF's Tomboy.

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gust_7384.jpg]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[UnwittingPawn Will secretly take advantage of people]] [[AssholeVictim trying to do so to her]], [[MagnificentBastard while setting up legal ownership of concepts and items so that even if they catch on, she can sue them into oblivion if they try anything.]] [[spoiler: [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu Blackmails Vert]] about staying silent on her "Kichiku Megane Harlem Set for Virgins", especially to keep that info from IF as Vert fears that she would become incredibly disappointed with her. She also sells Vert a voucher to play an MMO for free, for 10,000 Credits. She was surprised Vert jumped immediately at the offer, though, thinking it was a steal.]]
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She never appeared again after ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2 mk2]]'', since the real-life Creator/GustCorporation was bought and absorbed into Koei-Tecmo. Her role in ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth1 Re;Birth1]]'' was written out entirely, and her role in ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth2SistersGeneration Re;Birth2]]'' was taken by Broccoli.
* GameBreakingBug: Her revival skills have been known to not work right and just heal her, considerably lowering her use in battle.
* OptionalPartyMember: Both Nisa and Gust are, and with some [[DownloadableContent DLC]], they can become playable as well. Later on, 5pb and RED are also playable.
* TheSmartGirl: She’s this to rest of the group, [[TheDitz not that]] [[CloudCuckooLander that's particularly hard]].
* ThirdPersonPerson: At times in the English dub.
* TokenEvilTeammate: She’s sort of this, considering her tendency to blackmail and scam people.
* VerbalTic: In the Japanese version of the game, Gust's ''desu-no''. [[Manga/RozenMaiden Where have I heard this before]], [[ActorAllusion considering who voiced Gust]]?
* YouNoTakeCandle: In the English dub, she doesn't have the best grasp on grammar.

* ACupAngst: Her BerserkButton is someone pointing out her flat chest.
* TheBigGirl: She’s this to the rest of the group.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She never appeared in the series again after ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2 mk2]]'', for reasons unknown. Her role in ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth1 Re;Birth1]]'' was written out entirely, and her role in ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth2SistersGeneration Re;Birth2]]'' was filled by RED of all characters, who had been suffering from this trope since the first game.
** She has, however, been making the rounds as a cameo DLC character in recent ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' games. Unlike most characters, though, she doesn't reference her home series in her description - it merely reads that she's an anthropomorphism of NIS.
*** In ''Disgaea 5'', however, she does off-handedly reference the world of Gamindustri in hub flavor text.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and blue eyes.
* DubNameChange: Her name was changed from Nippon Ichi to Nisa, to represent NIS America.
* DynamicEntry: [[CallingYourAttacks Justice Kick!]]
* GogglesDoNothing: Wears a pair of brown goggles on her head.
* LargeHam: She’s quite loud and energetic.
* NavelDeepNeckline: Nisa's outfit is unzipped down to the navel. The cleavage part is debatable because of her flat chest.
* OptionalPartyMember: Both Nisa and Gust are, and with some [[DownloadableContent DLC]], they can become playable as well.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: She wears a long, red scarf.
* ScreamingWarrior: She tends to yell while she’s fighting.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Prinny Gun. It's a gun and a LaserBlade.

* HeadphonesEqualIsolation
* GoodAngelBadAngel: They debate over whether or not to eat someone else's sweets mostly.
* LadyOfBlackMagic
* LuminescentBlush: She gets one when she finds IF watching her in one of the scenes.
* TheMedic: The only character capable of healing the party outside of the [[ScrappyMechanic Item Skills]]. As with everything she does, the PowerOfRock is involved. Specifically suddenly being on stage, performing a short [[InstrumentalThemeTune Instrumental version]] of [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Ryuusei no Bifrost]].
* OptionalPartyMember: With some [[DownloadableContent DLC]] she becomes playable. Otherwise she's just seen on Hi-Five Radio, reading off what various [=NPCs=] have to say about the party after finishing quests.
* ThePowerOfRock: Her method of employing Elemental Attacks, and her stats are skewed in favor of this over resorting to [[InstrumentOfMurder beating things to death with her guitar.]]
* ShyBlueHairedGirl
* ShrinkingViolet: While incredibly confident while singing or on the radio, at any other time she becomes incredibly timid and shy. [[FanGirl IF intends to help her get over this problem.]]
* SixthRanger
* StageName: Her real name is [[MeaningfulName Lyrica]], though aside from IF [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname almost no one knows it.]] This is because this name is exclusive to the English localization, and not present in the original Japanese, where instead she simply has a civilian persona of "5pb-chan".
* {{Stripperific}}: One of the few cases where this is justified, as she is an IdolSinger, and thus her outfit is ''supposed'' to be alluring.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: At [[RelationshipValues "+100 Charisma"]], she'll get to have her [[OptionalSexualEncounter "Hotel Event"]] with IF. The event she gets is[[spoiler: being stuck sick in bed, while IF waits around for her to get better]] before joining the party.
* BrickJoke: Delivers one from Gust and her own at the same time. She eats IF's blanc-manger, and later sends her Blanc's Manju. After joining the team she [[spoiler: gives IF a "Kichiku Megane Harlem Set for Virgins" because she notices that IF likes Vert and that Vert has one as well. After a brief moment of disappointment she just passes it off as RED mixing names up again.]]
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Doesn't appear in later games, since the company she's based on was bought out by Chinese firm [=UltiZen=] Games. She '''finally''' comes back as a playable character in RE;Birth 2.
* CrashIntoHello
* HaremSeeker: She wants wifeys. IF is Wifey Number 1.
* GenkiGirl: In almost all of the scenes she appears in she tends to act like this.
* GenreSavvy: [[NoFourthWall The game makes no attempt to hide that it's a game]], so what's the best way to get wifeys? Add RelationshipValues to the events she's involved in, bringing up the possibilities of both YouLoseAtZeroTrust and LevelUpAtIntimacy5.

[[WordOfGod D:]] She has a dragon. She also refers to herself as the Royal Emperor Dragon when joining the party.
* OptionalPartyMember: Only appears in the game if you've got the required [[DownloadableContent DLC]].
* SixthRanger
* ToiletHumor: In one of her event "Red Alert" RED get chased by a upset Lady White Heart for farting loudly in front of her.
-->'''Red:''' ''" Phew! I think I lost her... Lady White Heart's good at chasing people! She didn't have to get so upset... I know it was like a grenade explosion, but I'm just a human. Everyone cuts a fart once in a while. Plus, the louder it is, the less smell it has. So they say. Anyway, that one was really sound-barrier shatteringly loud. ...She'll get over it soon."''
** She also (loudly) asks if Nepgear needs to pee when the gang is in Lowee in Re;birth2.

!!Ganache
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LiamOBrien (English)

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Ganache_3711.png]]

* AffablyEvil: He may be a jackass, but he's ''polite'' about it, going as far as to turn on the lights when he had Neptune and her party trapped because "total darkness" would be too cruel.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: During the time you spend in Lastation (read: half of the game), Ganache himself states he's manipulated everything from the start up the the current point, from the moment he heard of the Console War.]]
* TheDragon: Of a manner, he could easily be seen as filling this role to Lady Black Heart, if one was to consider her a villain.
** DragonWithAnAgenda
* [[spoiler:EvilGenius]]
* GadgeteerGenius
* GenreSavvy: When Arfoire shows up to make a deal, he knows not to trust her automatically.
* HostageSituation: [[spoiler:Conjures up something of the like for the Tech Expo, to make sure Neptune and her party go there quickly.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Solicitor (IF) or "Mr." Solicitor (Compa).
* {{Jerkass}}: And '''HOW'''.
* OutOfFocus: After the Lastation section of the first game. Doesn't make him any less of a douche.
* ShootTheHostage: [[spoiler:He outright says something regrettable will happen to the Expo attendees if Neptune and her party don't go there quickly.]]
* SmugSnake
* TheFaceless: Standard with NPC's of the game.
* WillfullyWeak: [[spoiler:He was the founder of Avenir, however, he has the rank of a regular employee. This was [[AllAccordingtoPlan all part of his plan]] however.]]

!!Jade

[[quoteright:281:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jade_5224.png]]
--> Voiced by Creator/SamRiegel

* BitchInSheepsClothing
* DeathAsComedy:
-->'''Jade''': I'm a member of the Guild. I live on Leanbox, but I don't follow Lady Green Heart...
-->'''Neptune''': ...Why're you telling me now? What's up with this?
-->'''Jade''': [[TooDumbToLive I... I'm into girls... like... Lady White Heart.]]
-->*grack*
-->'''IF''': ...And that's that. You finished him off.
-->'''Neptune''': Oops. Well, that was for ruining the moment.
* GreatEscape: Breaks IF, Compa, and Neptune out of the prison they're in.
* MrExposition
* TheFaceless: Standard as an NPC

!!Yvoire
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PatrickSeitz (English)

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Yvoire_2095.png]]

* CorruptChurch: Is the leader of it and it doesn't ''begin'' to describe him.
** [[spoiler: To put things in perspective, he tried to get IF to poison Neptune, ''went ahead and did it himself'', then arrested all three girls as "criminals". Jade later goes into more detail about Yvoire, going on about how he destroyed any documents pertaining to the purge of the Guild, refusing to acknowledge the atrocities committed.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Remember Ganache? Yvoire is a friggin' competitor for his title at this.
* LeaveYourQuestTest: Gives IF an offer [[spoiler: to become a Leanbox citizen, so she can worship Lady Green Heart freely]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything he does is for the sake of Lady Green Heart.
