History Characters / InfiniteStratosOurDarkestDays

* LightningBruiser: The Vimy Glide she pilots is a big, beefy, artillery type I.S. that can [[StuffBlowingUp blow things to smithereens]]. In close combat, she fights like a Hockey enforcer and can gain range by messing you up with her [[MakeMeWannaShout Sonic Cannon]]. If all else fails she'll unleash a MacrossMissileMassacre to finish the job.

* CharClone: Her I.S. is red, and three times faster than the average. She performs 'Red Comet Kicks' and generally showcases all of his combat moves.

* CanadaEh: However hard she tries to present a good image of her country with her PatrioticFervor, she almost always undoes herself by slipping in the odd Eh, or 'oot'.

* DropTheHammer: Her weapon is a giant hammer.

Representative Contender for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The pilot of the [[https://imgur.com/sOEoUIX Falkirk's Fury]]. A prototype 3rd Generation close combat [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]].

Josephine stands apart from other Representative Contenders and Cadets in that she does not come from an elite background and has no military history in her family.

Despite being university educated, both of her parents struggle on a daily basis to make ends meet and live in public housing. Josephine grew up having to watch them work menial jobs despite being qualified for very well paying careers. Because of this, her grandmother encouraged her to go above and beyond in her education by giving her books to read and taught her to understand books which would normally be beyond the understanding of children. But Josephine was a gifted child, which her grandmother understood and encouraged.

Josephine would describe herself as being made of salt and vinegar, however, she is actually exactly not that. She is kind and polite, but she can come off as arrogant to those who don’t know her.

Because of her extensive reading, she has an extensive vocabulary, and she tends toward verbosity when speaking.
-----

%% * EtiquetteNazi: Mind your manners at her table. [[PaperFanOfDoom Or else]].

* {{Foil}}: She is the good foil to Maria's EvilCounterpart. Both are possessing of genius levels of intelligence, both are well read, and both favor close combat. The key difference which separates them is that Maria is extremely apathetic and Josephine is extremely sympathetic.* [[spoiler: Maria's Meteor and Josephine's Falkirk's Fury share very similar weapon load outs designed to achieve the same ends. Except the Fury uses physical weapons and Maria's uses beam weapon technology. A case of retro-tech vs future-tech.]]

* HeroesPreferSwords: Josephine has seven swords.

* MadeOfIndestructium: Her I.S. features two large shield bits which she commands by thought to block incoming attacks. They are strong enough to withstand direct hits from artillery strikes, Maria's [[CoolGun Brahmastra]] and [[{{BFS}} Ascalon]], and even an armor piercing round from [=McKenna's=] [[{{BFG}} Tremblay Special]]. Maria defeated the shield bits during the duel by forcing her way behind the shields where she used her beam boomerangs as knives to destroy their anti-gravity control systems.

Representative Contender for the United States of America. The pilot of the [[https://imgur.com/aD9q8Hs Meteor]]. A prototype 3rd Generation close combat and [[spoiler: electronic warfare]] type [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]].
-----
Almost nothing is known about Maria's history prior to I.S. Academy. Except that she is from Anchorage, Alaska, and spent some time in Nevada.

Maria seemingly has no concept of propriety. She is impolite, crass, and snarky. She is also extremely vindictive, dishing out disproportionate levels of retribution for any perceived slight against her.

Because she has no money thanks to the Air Force deciding to keep her salary in trust for her until graduation, she takes a part-time job in the city as a waitress at Bianchi's Restaurant and Pizzeria so she can have some spending money of her own.
-----
SPOILER WARNING: The following information is what [=McKenna=] Tremblay learns about Maria through internet detective work.

[[spoiler: Though cyber-sleuthing, [=McKenna=] learns that Maria used to be [[FormerlyFat fat]] and that she was bullied by her peers. Tatenashi speculates based on the evidence that Maria was a comfort eater. [=McKenna=] also learned that Maria had a girlfriend in Alaska who was forced into gay conversion therapy right around the same time that Maria's house in Anchorage exploded due to what the local police called a possible arson.]]


-----

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Her signature weapon is a [[{{BFS}} giant]] [[LaserBlade beam]] [[CoolSword buster sword]].

* AccidentalPervert: While she is often very intentionally perverted, it's what she does without realizing that gets her in the most trouble.
** [[spoiler: In the locker room, she accidentally stares too long at someone's breasts, that someone freaked out, and it lead to a nasty confrontation with her [[HeteronormativeCrusader classmates]]. ]]

* AceCustom: The Meteor is a prototype third generation [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]]. It is also the precursor unit to the Silver Gospel.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She becomes this after getting a make-over.

* BlasphemousBoast: Maria delivers these often.
--> “No. I like god just fine. We have a lot in common. We’re both petulant children with an epic vindictive streak who crave praise and attention. We’re also very easy to get along with once you learn to shut up and worship us.”

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Her reaction to Jennifer Hawkins informing her about the condition of her little sister.

* CuteAndPsycho: While Maria may seem cute and adorable, it's actually only a very thin disguise that works until she opens her [[SirSwearsALot venomous mouth]].

* CuttingThroughEnergy: Maria's [[{{BFS}} Ascalon]] can be overclocked to do immense damage.

* CoolGun: In addition to her signature [[{{BFS}} Ascalon]], Maria also uses the "[[EnergyWeapon Brahmastra]]". It is a variable output next generation beam rifle which can also be overclocked for devasting results. Those results can be either be good or [[RecklessGunUsage VERY bad]].

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: See DisproportionateRetribution above.

* FanGirl: She's a very big fan of Maya's. So much so that she developed her entire style of I.S. combat by ripping off her moves.
** When Maya was first introduced to the class, Maria was the only one who knew who she was.

* HairIntakes: Maria gains these after getting treated to a make-over by Maya Yamada.

* HotForTeacher: She has a big crush on Maya.

* JabbaTableManners: She has no table manners whatsoever. Something Josephine has made her mission to correct.
** While eating Chili made by [=McKenna=], Maria scarfs it down like there's no tomorrow, saying she wants to drown in it. Josephine compares and contrasts her to a picture sent to her by Aisha of her three-year-old brother being less sloppy than Maria.

* {{Jerkass}}: Big time. [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem She does whatever she wants whenever she wants, to anyone she wants]]. Because she's a [[AcePilot Representative Contender]] she gets away with things that would get regular students expelled. But not always. (See LaserGuidedKarma below.)

* LackOfEmpathy: Big time. When told about what happened to Jennifer's younger sister due to her own inaction, she didn't seem to care.

--> "But you're not a believer yourself I take it?"
--> "Yes and no. It's complicated. I believe that there is a god, but I also believe that if you take him at his literal word like the Evangelicals say you should, then he is someone who is worthy of little more than my contempt."
--> "So you believe in god, but you don't believe he should be worshiped?"
--> "Exactly."
--> "So why believe at all? How does that work?"
--> “It’s a contradiction. I know. But it’s not any different than say, the U.S. President. Even if he doesn’t represent me, my views, or my policies, he’s still there and doing whatever he can to [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] with my life. If you ask me, that’s god as well.”

* PsychoLesbian: Very much so.

* RavenHairIvorySkin: After her make-over, Maria becomes this.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Red eyes, black hair. Evil.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Check. Even Josephine knew those sinister eyes meant she was bad news on day one.

* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Josephine and [=McKenna's=] blue.

* TerrifiedOfGerms: Maria is extremely mysophobic.

* ThoseTwoGirls: With Chiyomi.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Most certainly.

* TokenMiniMoe: At 4'8, she is the shortest of the main cast.

* VitriolicBestBuds: With Chiyomi.

* {{Yandere}}: Maria’s ruthlessness and complete lack of empathy tilt her towards this.

Representative Contender for Canada. The pilot of the [[https://imgur.com/W9tfeZO Vimy Glide]]. A prototype 3rd Generation artillery type [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]].
-----
[=McKenna=] comes from a military family starting from her great-grandfather who was one of the first WWI fighter pilots. After the war he moved from Québec to the Yukon Territory to find a living, which he did by smuggling whiskey into Alaska during prohibition, he became very wealthy from this and bought a large plot of land on which he built a big beautiful house in which the Tremblay family lives to this day.

Both her father and older brother are tank commanders in the Royal Canadian Army.

She is loyal to her friends but doesn’t hold back her anger when they overstep their bounds or do something to annoy her. She gets particularly frustrated with Maria for watching TV all night, and Josephine for talking loudly on voice chat with her MMO raiding partners all night.

-----

* AffectionateNickname: "Kenny"

* AlwaysInClassOne: Check.

* AntiAir: The Vimy Glide can load anti-air munitions.
** [[spoiler: During a practical training session, [=McKenna=] and Maria are ordered to demonstrate a ground to air battle. [=McKenna=] commands her Vimy Glide to load up fragmentation rounds and then the scene cuts to Maria working her part-time waitress job with a bandage on her head.]]

* BerserkButton: Once pressed, [=McKenna=] becomes the single most profane, offensive, nasty, and belligerent girl in the entire cast.
** [[spoiler: In Chapter 8, her classmates gang up on Maria once they learn that she's gay. [=McKenna=] doesn't like that, not, one, bit.]]

* CallingOutForNotCalling: Her boyfriend does this to her all the time.

* CanadaDoesNotExist: Subverted. She’s from the Yukon Territory.

* ClosetKey: To Tatenashi.

* GirlfriendInCanada: Inverted. Her boyfriend is in Canada.

* GratuitousFrench: Of the Québécois variety.

* MacrossMissileMassacre: Her Vimy Glide delivers this.
** However, it bites her back when [[BadassTeacher Chifuyu Orimura]] guides the missile swarm to back into her face.

* NerdsAreVirgins: Subverted. She’s the only non-virgin in the group.

* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Maria and Tatenashi's red. Red to Josephine's blue.

* WrenchWench: She’s an enthusiast mechanic and engineer.

-----
Jennifer tends to be abrasive with people she isn’t on good terms with. She is a devout Catholic which brings her into constant conflict with the people around her, especially Maria because of her propensity for blasphemy. Jennifer’s hatred for Maria goes beyond that, however. She places the sole blame for her younger sister’s quadriplegia on Maria because she didn’t even attempt to save her from a lethal fall after her [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]] malfunctioned.


-----

* BrassBalls: Fear is her sustenance
** Even with automatic weaponry pointed at her she doesn't lose her defiant attitude.
--> “Jenny? Think you can deploy and cover us?”
--> Jennifer shook her head. “My shield is too big for this tight space.”
--> “We can’t fight our way out of this. We should just do what they say for now and seize the opportunity when it comes,” said an icy Maria.
--> “You mean IF it comes! What the hell did you get us into Maria?! I’m going to kick your ass so badly you won’t be able to sit down for the rest of your miserable life!” yelled Jennifer.
--> “That won’t be very long if you don’t shut the fuck up Tazzy…”
--> “I’ll be fine with that as long as they kill you first!”

* CoolBigSis: She is this to her little sister.

* CunningLinguist: She speaks English, Japanese, and Mandarin.

* CustomUniform: A very Australian version with rolled up shirt sleeves.

** When she first met Josephine she called her a "Limey".

* HolierThanThou: She seems to aspire to it. Not very successfully though.

* LeParkour: She's really into this.

* NervesOfSteel: Her hobbies include; [[RoofHopping Leaping great hights]], getting around in [[LeParkour style]]. Her favorite spot to chill and vegetate is on [[ThePrecariousLedge the cliffs]], and she actually likes [[LiteralCliffhanger cliffhangers]].

* RedBaron: "The Tasmanian Devil"

* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Josephine's blue.

* RoofHopping: Her favorite mode of travel.

* SawedOffShotgun: Sort of. She uses a British made Starlight Mark II beam sniper rifle which she modified by stripping off the casings to reduce the weight and cut the barrel in half to function as a high powered beam rifle for medium range combat. The result isn't pretty to look at, but it is [[BoringButPractical effective]].

* ThrillSeeker: She'd be the poster girl for this.

* {{Tsundere}}: Her HairTriggerTemper and {{Jerkass}} tendencies tilt her towards this.

A first-year student at the I.S. Academy.

Representative Contender for the Russian Federation. The pilot of the [[http://is.wikia.com/wiki/Mysterious_Lady Mysterious Lady]]. A custom 3rd Generation prototype close and medium-range combat [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]].

-----

Maya is a very shy and nervous person who is affectionate and full of love. As a teacher, she is protective of her students, as a friend there is no-one more loyal, dependable, and trustworthy.

Teaching for the first time is a nervewracking experience for anyone and Maya does not make it look easy, in fact, she has a very difficult time being taken seriously by her students (With the notable exception of Maria Cross who [[HotForTeacher worships the ground she walks on]]). This is especially true of the third-year students who just can't seem to treat her any differently because they still consider her their most beloved [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics senpai]] from when she was a third-year student.

-----

* SenseiChan: No matter how hard she tries to escape it, she'll eventually have to embrace it.

A student in Class 1-1.
-----

Initially, her fellow students look to her for leadership in their conflict with the Representative Contenders of their class, but she quickly finds herself being the unwilling pawn of another, more ruthless and ambitious student who pushes her to the limits of her morality and forces her to make difficult choices.

-----

* AlwaysInClassOne: Check.

* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Hello Kitty.

* {{Tsundere}}: Mostly Tsun, and mostly towards Maria.

Proprietor of Bianchi’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

-----
Lorenzo has a very stern attitude and an explosive temper, particularly and especially when it comes to his ex-wife. However, contrary to the first impression he creates, Lorenzo is actually exceptionally good-natured and hospitable, going the extra mile to make every customer enjoy themselves to the fullest, well, almost every customer... At Bianchi's, the official policy is that customer is never right. As a matter of principal, Lorenzo will only serve real authentic Italian food and is wholly uncompromising. He will, and indeed has, evicted customers for making ‘ridiculous’ orders, woe unto anyone who thinks pineapple belongs on a pizza.

-----

* ForeignLanguageTirade: When he goes off on his ex-wife. Or annoying customers.
* GratuitousItalian: Of the very [[SirSwearsALot colorful]] variety.
* HeartbrokenBadass: He's divorced and pretty damn salty about it.

* RambunctiousItalian: Every kind as the situation calls for.

* SmokingIsCool: He smokes like a chimney.

--> "Alright. Here's a fun question! What was ruined for you because too many people started doing it?" asked Maria.
--> Chiyomi put a hand on her chin to consider the question.
--> "Having sex with my wife..." Lorenzo stated ruefully as he passed them by.

Waitress at Bianchi's Restaurant and Pizzeria.

Student at [[ShoutOut Raizen High School]].

-----
Chiyomi works as a waitress at Bianchi's Restaurant and Pizzeria, a job she got because Lorenzo Bianchi apparently has a soft spot for [[MyWayOrTheHighway people like her]].

-----

--> "Why did you hire her? She is such a bitch!"
--> Lorenzo turned a skeptical pair of eyes on the ashen-haired girl, "And you're not?"
--> "Baka! If that is what you think then why did you hire me?"
--> "Because I like angry people who take the world by the balls. I don't have time for anyone else."

* PerpetualFrowner: She never smiles.

* ThoseTwoGirls: With Maria.

* {{Tsundere}}: Type-A.
* TsurimeEyes: Her eyes always have a dangerous edge to them.
* {{TwinTails}}: Check.

Daughter of a multi-millionaire [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]] weapon manufacturer.

-----
Aisha lacks self-confidence because of how much of her life she spent being alienated from her peers due to her mixed heritage. This is compounded when she is brought to Japan against her will by her father and forced into a Japanese school despite knowing nothing of the language or culture.

After meeting and becoming friends with Josephine Williams, Aisha finds her quality of life steadily improving.

-----

* AllMuslimsAreArab: Downplayed. She's only half-Arab.

* CreepyLonerGirl: She is this to her classmates.

* HalfBreedDiscrimination: According to Aisha, she has no friends in her city of origin (Dubai) because of this.

* LonelyRichKid: She is exactly this before meeting [[BestFriend Josephine]].
* LonerTurnedFriend: See LonelyRichKid above.

A first-year student at the I.S. Academy.

Class Representative of 1-3

Representative Contender for the People's Republic of China. The pilot of the Tianlong, a third generation prototype close and medium range combat [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]].
-----
She is a classmate of Tatenashi Sarashiki and is apparently well-liked enough to be made the class Representative, though she believes this has more to do with her personal I.S. being considered one of the most powerful of the first-year student's and not so much her overall popularity among her peers.

-----
* AllChinesePeopleKnowKungFu: Check. According to her, she trains in Wushu and Jeet Kune Do.

* FanGirl: She loves [[MartialArtsMovie Martial Arts movies]].
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: She offers her greetings and gratitude in Mandarin. She also always has something wise or witty to say in her native language.
** E.g. "Bù zuò bù sǐ." Basically meaning that if you don't do stupid things you won't get killed. It becomes something of a catchphrase after fully experiencing the [[LetsGetDangerous hijinks]] of the main cast.

* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Check.

-----
Celeste has a sweet personality and is very polite to everyone. She is generally considered harmless by the other students unless she’s in an I.S. match, where her skill is unrivaled.

In her first year, she was a very close friend of the then third-year student Maya Yamada whom she credits for helping her adjust, make friends, and become a strong pilot and person.
-----

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: See AcePilot above.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is very kind. But don't mistake her kindness for weakness.
** When Celeste and Maria first met, Maya felt very uncomfortable, she thought it was like two savage predators [[StealthPun sizing each other up]].

* TokenMiniMoe: Standing at 4'8, she shares the title of the shortest cast member with Maria.

A third-year student at the I.S. Academy.

Representative Cadet for the State of Israel. The pilot of a custom 2nd Generation Fang Quake, an [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]] said to be so grotesquely powerful that it is required that the versions used by I.S. Academy students be severely neutered compared to the military versions. While less powerful than its military counterparts, the custom Fang Quake used by Avigale is still exceptionally formidable.

-----

-----

* AmbiguouslyBi: When Maria first meets her at Bianchi's, she's instantly attracted to her. Avigale shoots her down by telling her she's in a long-term relationship with an unspecified partner.
** But she also says that if she weren't in that relationship, she would have said yes. It could easily have been a case of letting her down easy though as Avigale seems the sort to appreciate what it takes to put yourself out there like that. She does have a reputation as everyone's go-to mediator.
* BadassIsraeli: She checks all the boxes to qualify.

A third-year student at the I.S. Academy.

Representative Cadet for the State of Japan. The pilot of the Raijin, a 2nd generation prototype [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]] designed for close and medium range combat.

-----
Chiho is adored by her friends for her good-natured and honest personality. She is always eager to lend a helping hand to everyone who needs one. Outside of the I.S. Academy she is well known as a sought-after model. Her face is all over the shopping mall connected to the I.S. Academy monorail system.

-----

* HimeCut: It's her most recognizable feature.
* HiredForTheirLooks: Nevermind that she's one of the top 10 strongest I.S. pilots in the Academy, she's drop dead gorgeous, and that's what companies want her for.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her red eyes should be the warning that she is very much deserving of her place in the top 10.
* RidiculouslyPhotogenic: Model. Duh!

A third-year student at the I.S. Academy.

Representative Cadet for the Federative Republic of Brazil.

-----
Isabella is close friends with the student council president and can often be found training with her and their other friends.


-----

Head Teacher of Class 1-1, and first-year dorm supervisor.
-----
A retired IS ace and world champion. She teaches at the IS Academy in Class 1-1 where Josephine, Maria, [=McKenna=] are placed.
-----

* BadAssTeacher: Very much so.

* DeadpanSnarker: Her exasperation with the idiocy of her students can only be expressed one way.
* DopeSlap: She does this with a notebook. Most often to Maria, but to other students of her class as needed if they annoy her enough.

* RetiredBadass: While she no longer pilots an [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]], she is fully capable of getting into an inferior model and beating the crap out of a vastly superior one.
** [[spoiler: During a practical training session, the students complain that the Uchigani model they train with is too inferior to the early 3rd generation prototypes used by the Representative Contenders. Chifuyu responds to this by getting into an Uchigani and beating the crap out of [=McKenna=] Tremblay's Vimy Glide, the arguably most powerful of the three prototypes in the class. Though [=McKenna=] shows what a badass she is in her own right by standing up to Chifuyu for far longer than any other student could have. Probably the reason why Maya thinks she's Chifuyu's favorite of the bunch.]]

Homeroom teacher for Class 2-2. Former Representative Cadet for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
-----
She the primary instructor for the second years in class two. For reasons as yet unknown, she seems to have it out for Jennifer Hawkins.
-----
* BitchSlap: She delivers one of these to Jennifer Hawkins for being late to class. She gives her a second for her HolierThanThou attitude.
* CorporalPunishment: Seems she's intent on bringing this back. It is unknown if she's even actually allowed to do this or not.
* SadistTeacher: She has slapped Jennifer twice, and seems to allow her students to bully her with impunity.

[[folder: Juliette Edwards]]

Math Teacher.
Former Representative Cadet for Canada.
-----
The math teacher for the first year students.
-----
* GratuitousFrench: Of the Québécois variety which she speaks with [=McKenna=].
* SadistTeacher: Possibly. Because her class was in a state of riot when she arrived, she instructed [=McKenna=] to use her sonic weapon to pacify the students. An idea which had, unfortunately, GoneHorriblyRight as it pacified not only the students of Class 1-1, but the students of 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4. According to Jennifer, even students in Class 2-2 felt the effects.

* BoobsOfSteel: Her breasts are even larger than Josephine's, and her skill as an I.S. pilot is not to be underestimated. She was only defeated by Maria Cross because she developed her entire style of combat from watching videos of Maya's battles.

Teaching for the first time is a nervewracking experience for anyone and Maya does not make it look easy, in fact, she has a very difficult time being taken seriously by her students (With the notable exception of Maria Cross who [[HotForTeacher worships the ground she walks on]]).

* SenpaiKohai: In her first year she was the Kohai and close friend of Maya Yamada. Now that Maya is a [[SenseiChan teacher]] she's unable to treat her any differently.

Avigale is intelligent and mature. She approaches every situation calmly and rationally. She avoids entertaining her knee-jerk reactions and tries her best to gather all of the facts before making conclusions. Avigale has a reputation for taking a hardline stance against bullies and is often sought out by other students to help them resolve their interpersonal conflicts.
