History Characters / LupinIIITheItalianAdventure

* CloningBlues: Fears that he'll never be recognized as his historical counterpart because he's just a clone.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[spoiler: Towards Lupin]]. Whether this played truly straight can be subject to debate. During the final episodes [[spoiler: it's clear that Lupin actually does care for her, though to what extent, we're never told. That said, he did keep her wedding ring and doesn't dissuade her when she declares that she wants to grow to be a woman worthy of the name Mrs. Lupin]].

** BrokenAce: She also doubles as this as well. Despite the above, she's still gripped by a deep sense of insecurity and a strong desire to be truly acknowledged and loved by Lupin. She's the only character in the main cast to fail [[spoiler: Leonardo's test]], partly because she doesn't have a strong sense of self, and partly because for all her myriad talents, she doesn't quite excel at them like the rest of the main cast does at theirs.

%%%* SixthRanger

* CloneDegeneration: The real reason for his [[spoiler: AssimilationPlot]] is that the body [=MI6=] made for him can't handle his intellect. [[spoiler: By inserting a copy of himself into every person in Italy, he's hoping that there's someone out there that can hold his mind]].

* SocialDarwinist: Only those who pass his test are fit to remain themselves his new world. [[spoiler:Everyone else gets their personality taken over by his]].

* HyperCompetentSidekick: In addition to his combat skills, he is also quite knowledgeble about technology, can fly aircraft, and is also effectively a manager for her business ventures.

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: UpToEleven: [[spoiler:when he used the Dream of Italy to challenge everyone in Italy, San Marino and Vatican City at what they did best, ''only six persons were known to have beaten him''. Everyone else got caught in the AssimilationPlot]].

* BadassBeard: Even longer and more overflowing than the one he bore in life.

** Also serves as an indirect one to Fujiko. Both are master thieves willing to use deception and charm to get their way. The main difference is that while Lupin wants one, all he seems to want from the other is a divorce. She basically shows how Lupin would react to someone like Fujiko if he weren't infatuated with her. When it's revealed that she's fallen for Lupin, her relationship with him basically turns into a mirror of Lupin and Fujiko, with her playing the part of Lupin forever chasing after Fujiko, except Lupin si the one being chased].

An agent of [=MI6=] that Lupin and Jigen run into during the course of the series. Aside from being a secret agent, Nyx also has super hearing that allows him to home in on his targets.

* TakingTheBullet: Took one [[spoiler:aimed at his daughter by an [=MI6=] sniper]]

* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: When she's kidnapped by [=MI6=], she is tortured for information regarding the Dream of Italy. She is seen in a loose self hug on a sterile white platform, next to a tray with handcuffs, syringes and other things on it. Also, while her mission outfit was revealing to begin with, the lack of her gear makes it look like she was subject to a ShamefulStrip. There is not a trace of her usual confident and care-free nature, only fear and vulnerability. This is the same episode where the death of her first love is revealed as well.]]

* LivingADoubleLife: Model, actress, and CEO of Italy's largest hotel chain by day. Thrill-seeking [[ClassyCatBurglar thief]] by night.

* MsFanservice: She is just as attractive as Fujiko
* NotAMorningPerson: Is known to sleep all day.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: In the finale she's the only one of the important recurring characters to fail [[spoiler:Leonardo's test]].
* RenaissanceMan: Actress, model, businesswoman, fashion designer, media darling, thief.

* CloneDegeneration: The real reason for his [[spoiler: AssimilationPlot]] is that the body [=MI6=] made for him can't handle his intellect. [[spoiler: By inserting a copy of himself into every person in Italy, he's hoping that there's a mind out there that can hold his mind]].

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: UpToEleven: [[spoiler:when he used the Italian Dream to challenge everyone in Italy, San Marino and Vatican City at what they did best, ''only six persons were known to have beaten him''. Everyone else got caught in the AssimilationPlot]].

** BrokenAce: She also doubles as this as well. Despite the above, she's still gripped by a deep sense of insecurity and a strong desire to be truly acknowledged and loved by Lupin. She's the only character in the main cast to fail [[spoiler: Leonardo's test]], likely because she doesn't haev a strong sense of self like the rest of the cast does.

** Also serves as an interesting, if indirect one towards Fujiko. Both are master thieves willing to use deception and charm to get their way. The main difference is that while Lupin wants one, all he seems to want from the other is a divorce. She basically shows how Lupin would react to someone like Fujiko if he weren't infatuated with her. When it's revealed that she's [[spoiler: fallen for Lupin]], her relationship with him basically turns into a mirror of Lupin and Fujiko, with her playing the part of Lupin forever chasing after Fujiko, except this time the latter is played by [[spoiler: Lupin]].

* TheMaidenNameDebate: She retains the surname, Rossellini, as allowed by Italian law and not just [[spoiler: because she never registered their marriage certificate]], but she's more than willing to point out the fact that she's "Mrs. Lupin" when it's to her advantage, or [[spoiler: when she realizes that she actually ''wants to be'' Mrs. Lupin]]. It's also a sign of her CharacterDevelopment when she stops simply claiming the name, but rather promises Lupin that she'll eventually become a woman worthy of being called "Mrs. Lupin".
* MsFanservice: She's beautiful and has a fair amount of sex appeal.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: In the finale she's the only one of the important recurring characters to fail [[spoiler:Leonardo's test]], thus needing rescue. Her opponent in the test being friggin' [[spoiler:Creator/LeonardoDaVinci]], her failure is this.
* RenaissanceMan: Actress, model, businesswoman, fashion designer, thief.

* BerserkButton: Even the implication of hurting his family is enough to send this man into rage fits, and he discards all sense of who's friend or foe when this happens. [=MI6=] has to drop everything they're doing at the moment just to restrain the man from going on a rampage.
* CoolCar: Drives a BMW i8 that's been modified by [=MI6=].
* {{Expy}}: The fanbase has made the argument that Nyx is basically Daniel Craig's [[Film/JamesBond James Bond]]. And his actions pretty much add to the claim.
* HulkOut: Twists his face into a veined contortion of rage when angered, complete with pointed batlike ears.
* LivingADoubleLife: His cover is that of a diplomat.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Even if the Expy wasn't intended, the design certainly looks similar to Daniel Craig.
* PapaWolf: Don't kidnap his daughter, or even threaten his family. If he doesn't kill you it's because someone else got you first.
* PunchclockVillain: Was happy to let Lupin and Jigen go once he was told that his mission had changed.
* PointedEars: A faint, Batlike example.
* SuperSenses: His hearing works like an advanced form of SONAR, able to track his opponents allowing him to quickly catch up with them.
* SuperReflexes: When hulked out.

[[folder: [[spoiler: Leonardo da Vinci]]]]

* TheAce: As part of his [[spoiler:AssimilationPlot]] he challenges everyone in Italy, San Marino and the Vatican to what they do best. Of these sixty million people, ''only six weren't defeated''.[[note]]Lupin won as a mastermind by guessing where Leonardo was with minimal hints, Jigen won a duel with antique guns, Goemon won a swordfight where he was using a rapier and Leo a falchion (both swords Goemon wasn't familiar with and Leonardo was), Fujiko outcheated him at poker, and Zenigata and Nyx defeated him in hand-to-hand combat[[/note]]

* BadassBeard: has a massive, overflowing one greater the the one he had in life.

* ChekhovsGunman: Appears early on as a street painter who's copy of the Mona Lisa is used to replace the real thing.
* CloneDegeneration: [[spoiler:The real reason he's doing his AssimilationPlot is because the body [=MI6=] made for him isn't enough to hold him and he's dying as a result. Therefore, he's pulling off his plan in the hopes that somewhere out there is a mind that can hold him]].
* CloningBlues: Points out that he'll never be recognized as his historical counterpart because he's just a clone.

* GeniusBruiser: Defeated ''Nyx'' in hand-to-hand combat. As for genius, well...he counts by virtue of being, y'know, Creator/LeonardoDaVinci!
* RenaissanceMan: TropeCodifier. And he shows it: aside his painting and mechanical skills he shows himself formidable as a swordsman, gunfighter, hand-to-hand combatant (in fact he had two fights with Nyx, and ''easily won the first''), manipulation, stealing, and being an all-around genius. In fact, in the endgame he ([[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome offscreen]]) proves himself [[spoiler:better than most Italians at what ''they'' do best]].
* SocialDarwinist: [[spoiler:Only those who pass his test are fit to remain themselves his new world. Everyone else gets their personality taken over by his]].
%%* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans

* BattleButler: If he needs to get his gloves dirty to keep his liege safe, he will do it using any kind of firearm.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In his first encounter with Nyx, Robson, not knowing Lupin had already convinced him to stand down, decided to make sure the agent would stand down... By threatening his daughter. [[PapaWolf Nyx tried to kill everyone]].

* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:He was killed due to his research on the Dream of Italy.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Her main arc revolves around her transformation from a thrill seeker who only stole to alleviate her boredom and only used Lupin as a means to do so to [[spoiler: actually wanting to be a thief worthy of being called "Mrs. Lupin" while at the same time genuinely falling for Lupin]].

%%%% Saying that she is like other characters says nothing about she herself. It is not context.
%%%%* MsFanservice:

* AnimalMotifs: Rodents, specifically bats and rats. The former from his super-hearing, the latter from his super reflexe, odd perception of time, and frothing rage when cornered.

* {{Expy}}: The fanbase has made the argument that Nyx is basically Daniel Craig's [[Film/JamesBond James Bond]].

* SpiritAdviser: [[spoiler:Lupin encounters him inside "The Italian Dream" and he's able to give him some helpful advice, despite being dead for some time in the real world.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Gaia Bolognesi (IT), Creator/YukiyoFujii (JP), Creator/CassandraLee (EN)

* LivingADoubleLife: Model, actress, and CEO of Italy's largest hotel chain by day. Thrill seeking [[ClassyCatBurglar thief]] by night.

** She does it again in the 2016 yearly special, ''The Italian Game'', this time [[spoiler: buying the Forte di San Leo, an actual World Heritage Site, just to beat Fujiko, and even Lupin, to the treasure of Cagliostro (though it turs out she was actually blackmailed into doing so)]].
