History Characters / MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs

* [[spoiler:CantCatchUp]]: Started out as nearly unbeatable war machines in their debut season and subverted as they remain quite competent the next season. Then [[spoiler:played straight when the FORCE manga came around as they're barely able to even stall the new villains]].

:* GoodCostumeSwitch: Back when they were serving masters in ancient Belka who wanted the book's power, their armor looked "rough," according to Hayate, and [=ViVid=] shows them wearing barrier jackets that look like typical plate mail. Justfied because each master designs the armors they wear.

* LethalChef: In spite of being the Mother and a YamatoNadeshiko. This was originally an InformedFlaw - on one of the two occasions the Wolkenritter actually taste her cooking, Signum and Vita admit that it's not as good as Hayate's cooking, but still not bad, while Hayate likes it. It wasn't until the PSP fighting game, released four years after her introduction, that we received [[http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/Hayate/1264208642230.png visual confirmation of her cooking skills.]]

* InSpiteOfANail: In ''Battle of Aces'' [[spoiler:it's implied that she will die in the relatively near future, in contrast to the Wolkenritter only being likely to pass away after Hayate's death, or if they're killed]].

* [[spoiler: InSpiteOfANail: In the original Reinforce's ending in ''Battle of Aces'', she and Hayate discuss how she can't maintain Hayate's magic anymore, and they'd have to create a new Unison Device. Hayate immediately starts [[HasTwoMommies coming up with names]]; i.e. Zwei will exist in this AlternateContinuity too.]]

* {{Moe}}

* {{Expy}}: She looks like what [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Ritsuko Akagi]] might look like if she were in the Nanoha-verse. This is especially apparent with her first apperance in ''[=Striker S=]'', when she's wearing what appears to be a white doctor's coat. Considering the number of mecha anime shout outs in ''Nanoha'', it could be intentional.

* LethalChef: In spite of being the Mother and a YamatoNadeshiko. This was largely an InformedFlaw - on one of the two occasions the Wolkenritter actually taste her cooking, Signum and Vita admit that it's not as good as Hayate's cooking, but still not bad, while Hayate likes it. It wasn't until the PSP fighting game, released four years after her introduction, that we received [[http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/Hayate/1264208642230.png visual confirmation of her cooking skills.]]

* [[spoiler: InSpiteOfANail: In the original Reinforce's ending in ''Battle of Aces'', she and Hayate discuss how she can't maintain Hayate's magic anymore, and they'd have to create a new Unison Device. Hayate immediately starts [[HasTwoMommies coming up with names]]; ie; Zwei will exist in this AlternateContinuity too.]]

* MoeMoe

Subsequently, she recovers from her paralysis and moves to Mid-Childa and joins the TSAB along with Nanoha and Fate, attaining a higher rank than either of them. Unfortunately, this means that in the third season she gets less action than her two new friends, or even her bodyguards. Hayate has been DemotedToExtra.

Tropes associated with Hayate:

* BunnyEarsLawyer: In addition to the perverted side, she also [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_shoujo_lyrical_nanoha_vivid/v02/c017/13.html answers a videophone while wearing a tanuki mask.]] Einhart, who had pictured her as a powerful and imposing individual, is speechless.

* Lieutenant ColonelBadass: Her mage rank, SS, is the highest of any character in the series thus far.

* DaChief: the role she takes in ''[=StrikerS=]'', giving the orders and dealing with the higher-ups.
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: In the side-manga, Hayate informs us that mages who have enormous magical power, such as herself, find it very difficult to execute smaller, faster, more manageable attacks. Hayate's mainstay is wide-area bombardment, to the point that the military issues evacuation notices when she takes the field. Her partner, Reinforce Zwei, helps her with fire-control. Which is odd given that Rein Eins' usage of spells like [[FlechetteStorm Bloody Dagger]] shows a capacity for fighting at the anti-personnel level.
** Fire-control in Hayate's case being typified by a time when she is without Rein and she thanks the ENTIRE BRIDGE CREW for helping her aim at TARGET SITES MEASURED IN ACRE-AGE!

** [=~Noblewoman's Laugh~=]: A few times, most obviously when she connects with a CounterAttack.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She has longer hair in ''Force''. YourMileageMayVary whether this is awesome or bad.
* GlassCannon: Hayate is useless in mage-to-mage close combat (and she knows it well), but she's perfectly capable of wiping out entire armies of MechaMooks with her nuclear magic.
* HandsomeLech: See SkinshipGrope. She only gropes girls if she knows they'd consent, of course...but she's not above [[DudeShesLikeInAComa feeling Signum up when she's asleep so she doesn't have to ask.]]

* [[spoiler: ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice]]: [[spoiler: If [[http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-board.pl/m/thread/6077212 spoilers for the next chapter]] of ''Force'' are to be believed.]]

* MemeticMolester: See SkinshipGrope.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Hayate's lowest setting is about the same level as a bombing run by a squadron of B-52s. Some of her more powerful attacks are easily in the tactical nuke range.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Gaiz had ''every right'' to be suspicious of her in ''Strikers''.
** Only for a person as paranoid as he was. Hayate had a perfect record for ten years after joining the Bureau, and he's the only character shown to hold her 'crime' against her after that long. His reasons for suspecting were also quite selfish in nature.
* SkinshipGrope: In the [[AllThereInTheManual Sound Stages]], she seems rather fond of feeling up the other female characters. Especially Signum.

* StayWithTheAliens: Also moves off of Earth and lives on Mid-Childa third season on. Taking her entire family (the Wolkenritter) there's even less that ties her to Earth than Nanoha.
* SquishyWizard: Claims that even Caro might be able to defeat her in single combat. However, it's pointed out soon afterward that despite having difficulty in single combat, she's able to use her power to her fullest potential when surrounded by her allies.
* ThatOneAttack: Aforementioned BeamSpam.
* TookALevelInBadass: ''The Battle of Aces''. Compare the TV version who claims she can't even beat [[StaffChick Caro]] to the ''Aces'' version who goes toe-to-toe with copies of [[BadassCrew her friends]] and kicks ten types of ass in her own story mode. Possibly justified; those fans who don't shrug this off as CompetitiveBalance generally think Reinforce is probably teaching her to use the Tome more effectively.
** This turns out to be the case, as Hayate mentions in the introduction to her story mode that Shamal, Reinforce, Nanoha and Fate have been training her in magic.

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The Wolkenritter's previous masters apparently didn't consider them to be people. Hayate ''does'' think they're people though, and that makes all the difference, turning them from coldhearted killers into a [[BadassFamily happy family]].
* WiseBeyondTheirYears
* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl (when unisoned with Reinforce/Reinforce Zwei)

They are the four guardians born out of [[ArtifactOfDoom the Book of Darkness]]. The ladies, Signum, Vita and Shamal, are TheThreeFacesOfEve, while Zafira is a wolf who can change into a [[PettingZooPeople wolfman]]. Their quest is to gather Linker Cores to complete the Book Of Darkness. Like most of the other antagonists in the show, they are very much {{Antivillain}}s - they want to complete the Book of Darkness only to prevent it from killing Hayate.

Tropes common to the Wolkenritter:
* ArtificialHuman: see RidiculouslyHumanRobot.

* GoodCostumeSwitch: Back when they were serving masters in ancient Belka who wanted the book's power, their armor looked "rough," according to Hayate, and ViVid shows them wearing barrier jackets that look like typical plate mail. Justfied because each master designs the armors they wear.

* RidiculouslyHumanRobot and InstantAIJustAddWater in approximately equal proportions; the Wolkenritter are autonomous programs apparently run by the [[ArtifactOfDoom Book of Darkness]].

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: In ''[=StrikerS=]'', Shamal notes that she and the other Wolkenritter have lost their immortality, and are content with this.

TheStoic leader of the group, armed with the flaming sword Laevatein. She is Fate's WorthyOpponent, and later, the two become close friends. She is also noted by fans to be a magnificent {{Expy}} of Lamia Loveless from SuperRobotWars: they don't look much alike, but share many traits, including having [[KaoriShimizu the same voice actress]].

By ''[=StrikerS=]'', she's moved to Mid-Childa with Hayate and the other Wolkenritter, and become one of the vice captains (alongside Vita) of Mobile Section Six. Her callsign is Lightning 2.

Tropes associated with Signum:
* TheArcher: Signum's [[strike:Phantom Phoenix]] Sturm Falke attack transforms Laevatein into a bow.
* {{Badass}}: ''And how.'' Probably the most badass character in the entire series.

* BoobsOfSteel: [[{{Pettanko}} Vita]] calls her 'Boob Monster' in one of the Sound Stages. The ''[=StrikerS=]: After Days'' manga chapter suggests that she may be the best combat mage in the series.
* CharacterAlignment: LawfulNeutral --> ChaoticGood --> LawfulGood: Before their appearance, the Wolkenritter served their various masters orders unquestioningly. For Hayate, they decided to disobey her in order to save her. By the time of ''[=StrikerS=]'', she is LawfulGood.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: She's never lost a battle (at least as far as we know), [[spoiler:until Cypha of Huckebein uses her GameBreaker weapon on her.]]
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: The can't do smaller tasks variation. Once she refused to heat up water for bathing because of that. [[spoiler:Also breaking your own freakin sword with the sheer force of your attack is a truly impressive proof of your strength]].
* EvasiveFightThreadEpisode: See the entry for Nanoha. She also had one with Fate during ''A's'', until a later Sound Stage revealed that she kicked Fate's ass during most of their LightheartedRematch(es) a few months after A's.
* {{Expy}} (Of [[SuperRobotWars Lamia Loveless]])
* FanNickname: Signum Loveless
* FlamingSword: Laevatein
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Signum delivers a [[strike:Bright Slap]] [[strike:Bright Punch]] ''Signum Punch'' to Teana in order to straighten her up at one point.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Actually, she started out sounding like a slightly softer Lamia. But as ''[=StrikerS=]'' rolls in... she starts sounding exactly like her.

* KaoriShimizu: Part of her {{Expy}}-ness with Lamia.

* NearDeathExperience: [[spoiler:Is put through one at the beginning of ''Force''. She might still not make it, though.]]
* PlayingWithFire: She's not called ''Blazing General'' for nothing...

* ReDitto: Started as a manificient {{Expy}} of [[SuperRobotWars Lamia Loveless]] and gained her own traits over time [[spoiler:but in FORCE she's rewritten into a near CaptainErsatz of Lamia]].

* ShoutOut: Probably unintentional, but try comparing her outfit with [[GuiltyGear Ky]] [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KyGGI_4390.jpg Kiske's.]]
* SlipknotPonytail (In the 3rd season - a [[MythologyGag nod]] to Miyuki from ''Triangle Heart 3'')
* SoLastSeason [[spoiler:exactly what happens to her, Laevatein and Agito at the beginning of FORCE]]
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: Pounding a wall in frustration after hearing about Hayate's illness being potentially life-threatening, and shedding a single tear in response to Fate's suggestion that they could still be friends. She also doesn't exactly take it very well when [[{{Pettanko}} Vita]] calls her "Boob Demon", or when her MysteriousProtector intervenes on her behalf during her third fight with Fate.
* StoneWall: Her preferred fighting style. Against equal foes, she prefers to shield, dodge and wear them down, then lay down the hammer when they're worn out.

* TheThreeFacesOfEve: The Badass.
* WaveMotionSword
* WhipSword: One of Laevatein's forms.
* TheWorfEffect: After avoiding this trope for two seasons by a large margin (even when the rest of the Riot Force 6 was [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs busy having their asses handed to them]] in ''[=StrikerS=]''), Signum was finally worfed [[CurbStompBattle BIG TIME]] in ''Force'' by Cypha of Hückebein, who [[IAmNotLeftHanded must not be left-handed.]]
** WorfHadTheFlu: Signum fans will be quick to point out that it wasn't until Cypha pulled out her GameBreaker weapon, which cancels magic and destroys devices, that Signum started losing decisively. When they were still fighting on "equal" terms, Signum was pretty much kicking Cypha's ass, even getting an OhCrap expression out of her. Of course, [[spoiler: Signum lacked the proper counter to Huckebein's [[SoLastSeason new technology]].]]

* WouldntHurtAChild: Averted - Fate's WorthyOpponent status above comes in spite of her age.

!!!'''Vita''', Knight of the Iron Hammer (AsamiSanada)(En:Elisabeth Rick)

The [[LittleMissBadass Child]] of the bunch. She dresses in Gothic Lolita fashions (or Hayate dresses her and she goes along with it), and develops not-so-obvious romantic feelings for her Mistress. She wields Graf Eisen, an {{Expy}} of the [[GaoGaiGar Goldion]] [[DropTheHammer Hammer]]. During the 2nd season, she serves as Nanoha's [[TheRival rival]].

By ''[=StrikerS=]'', she's become a combat instructor on Mid-Childa, and is one of the vice captains of Mobile Section Six (alongside Signum). Her callsign is Stars 2.

Tropes associated with Vita:

* BigEater: Claims that it's because she's growing, although she clearly isn't.
** It's actually because of her magic system. Belkan magic, in exchange for not causing quite as much strain on the user's body as Midchildan magic, apparently requires a higher caloric intake. Thus, Belkan mages (the Wolkenritter, Subaru & Ginga, and Erio) DO need to eat a ''lot''.

* {{Determinator}}: She is quite possibly an even bigger determinator than Nanoha, or at least it ''looks'' more impressive since she has [[MadeOfIron insane endurance]]. Near the end of StrikerS, she is fighting through hordes of combat machines, [[spoiler:getting stabbed right through the chest]], and upon realizing that they was the same type of drones that [[spoiler:injured Nanoha ]]she proceed to destroy said drones. Then she is fighting through more hordes of combat machines until she arrives at her goal([[spoiler: The ships engine]] )heavily injured,try to destroy her goals, only to be greeted by automatic defense systems (laser shooting cubes) after her first attack fails. And her response?
---> Vita: [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome "Bring it on."]]
* CharacterAlignment: LawfulNeutral --> ChaoticGood --> NeutralGood (Similar to Signum, except she's not as bound to the military in ''[=StrikerS=]'').
* CreepyCoolCrosses: her Barrier Jacket is covered in them.
* CuteBruiser (Loli Bruiser!)

* [=~Everything's Better With Bunnies~=]: On her hat, plus a matching stuffed bunny Hayate bought her. Dead bunnies, at that. x.x
* {{Expy}} (Graf Eisen, of [[GaoGaiGar Goldion Hammer]])

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Graf Eisen is a ''croquet mallet''. [[spoiler:in FORCE we have the War Hammer that is more or less identified as a "missile on a stick"]]

** JerkassWoobie: She was also the one who seemed to suffer most from a life of constant fighting.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Arguably, after her HeelFaceTurn.
* JustAKid: Even after becoming aware of her [[ArtificialHuman true]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction nature]] and [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld true age]], Nanoha still often treats her like a kid (addressing her as "Vita-[[JapaneseHonorifics chan]]", and petting her on the head, among others), much to her annoyance.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: Attacks Fate during Fate's route in Battle of the Aces while mistaking her for a Memory.
* LittleMissBadass: Very little, and ''very'' badass. Of course, she's [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld nowhere near as young as she looks]].

* MightyGlacier: She is very strong. I quote her and Graf Eisen - "There is nothing in the world we can't destroy". She also happens to be the character with ''the'' greatest endurance and durability [[spoiler: who's still alive]] (and being a huge [[TheDeterminator determinator]] to boot), despite having the body of a child. While her movement speed isn't bad, her attacks are slow and heavy and she has no dodging skills to speak of.
* NiceHat: Vita's hat, with its two [[EverythingsBetterWithBunnies stuffed bunny-head]] adornments and CreepyCoolCrosses, tops out all the rest; it was also a personally-designed gift from Hayate.
* {{Pettanko}} (Why do you think she calls Signum the "Boob Monster"?)
* PluckyGirl -- For the sake of the people she loves, "there's nothing [she] can't destroy." No matter how exhausted or injured she is, she will not allow herself to fail. We see some of this in the second season, but it's especially driven home in the final battle of the third season. [[NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow Sporting a large, gaping wound in her chest]] courtesy of an initial ambush, she single-handedly fights her way through a swarm of elite MechaMooks to reach the Engine Room. Finally making it through, her weapon is damaged, her cartridge supply is almost spent, and her chest is still bleeding. Then the security system kicks in and directs an impressive number of lasers at her. Her response?
--> '''Vita:''' ...[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Bring it on]]!
* SternTeacher: More critical of the forwards' performance than Nanoha is, and occasionally suggests that Nanoha is being too lenient, but cares for their development.
* ThatOneAttack: Swallow Flier in ''The Battle of Aces''.
* ThisIsADrill: Graf Eisen's Zerstörungsform (Destruction Form).
* TheThreeFacesOfEve (The Child)
* TrainingFromHell: She doesn't go through it, but she inflicts it in ''[=StrikerS=]''. When Vita tells you to shield, ''you shield'', or else get hammersmashed.

* TheWoobie: In Season 2, everyone a little bit, but mostly Vita.
* TheWorfEffect: Looks like she's getting hit by it several times after beating down Nanoha in her debut (particularly when she loses to Zest) ... She's still awesome, though.
** Inflicts this on Nanoha at the start of the second season.

The Mother of the three, taking care of [[YamatoNadeshiko most house-related chores]], [[LethalChef except cooking]]. She doesn't usually take part in combat, but she has [[HealingHands healing power]], and her communication and portal magic means she generally acts as MissionControl. Her magical device, Klarer Wind, resides in her rings.

Tropes associated with Shamal:

* CharacterAlignment: LawfulNeutral --> NeutralGood
* CombatMedic: while Shamal normally keeps out of combat, she's ''hardly'' helpless in other fields. Let's not forget how easily she and Zafira [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome takes Otto out of the equation]] during the final battle of ''[=StrikerS=]'', arguably the point at which the tide begins to turn in favour of Team Nanoha.
** Not to mention her ability to ''stick her hand through you and rip out your magic''. From a ''mile'' away.
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: {{Subverted}} -- She tries to disguise herself when spying on Nanoha and Fate, but Dr. Ishida recognizes her immediately.
* {{Expy}}: Seriously, she kinda looks like what [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Ritsuko Akagi]] might look like if she were in the Nanoha-verse. this is especially apparent with her first apperance in Striker S, when she's wearing what appears to be a white doctor's coat. Though, given how popular Eva is in Japan, and since Nanoha's Battle Uniform liiks a lot like a MagicalGirl Gundam anyway, it could be an {{Homage}} to the other end of the RealRobot <-> SuperRobot spectrum.

* LethalChef: In spite of being the Mother and a YamatoNadeshiko. According to Hayate, however, she has improved over time.
** InformedFlaw: On one of the two occasions the Wolkenritter actually taste her cooking, Signum and Vita admit that it's not as good as Hayate's cooking, but still not bad, while Hayate likes it. It wasn't until the PSP fighting game, released four years after her introduction, that we received [[http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/Hayate/1264208642230.png visual confirmation of her cooking skills]].
* RazorFloss: Shamal can create strands of energy between Klarer Wind's gems and rings, which she uses to bind Otto in place.
* RingOfPower: Klarer Wind
* TheThreeFacesOfEve (The Mother)

Bit of an oddball -- he's not only TheOneGuy of the Wolkenritter and Hayate's family, he's a NonHumanSidekick. His specialty is said to be a BarrierWarrior. He forms a rivalry (and later friendship) with Arf.

In ''[=ViVid=]'', he continues training children in martial arts. One of his best pupils, Miura, is set to compete against Vivio in the Interdimensional Tournament.

Tropes associated with Zafira:

** BigBadassWolf: Prefers going around in this form, but is human when teaching kids martial arts in Sound Stage M4.
** PettingZooPeople: His humanoid form has prominent ''kemonomimi''.
** TalkingAnimal: When in wolf form.

* CharacterAlignment: LawfulNeutral

* DemotedToExtra: Loses some of his screentime in ''[=StrikerS=]'' but really gets hit hard in the Sound Stages; in the first and second sound stages of A's and ''[=StrikerS=]'' he's either away for most of the story or absent for some reason.
* FanNickname: Zaffy, which Vivio also uses.

* [[strike:{{Familiar}}]] [[InsistentTerminology Guardian Beast]]

* MyMasterRightOrWrong
* NotSoDifferent: He argues that he and Arf serve their respective masters regardless of what they're doing is right or wrong. Arf is unable to articulate a rebuttal, especially given her role in the first season.

Tropes associated with Reinforce:
* AllYourPowersCombined[=/=]MegaManning: Can use techniques from the mages whose linker cores the Book of Darkness absorbed.

* BoobsOfSteel: Subverted; she is [[strike:pretty]] the most stacked, but prefers spellcasting to punching people stupid.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: In one route of ''The Battle of Aces'' [[spoiler: Hayate acts as a unison device for her (!)]] or something like that.
* EvilIsSexy: [[spoiler: Until she stops being evil and keeps the sexy.]]

* [[spoiler: EyesOfGold: As Unison Reinforce.]]
* FacialMarkings: [[spoiler: "Outer" Reinforce aka the defense program]]
* FashionableAsymmetry

* FlechetteStorm[=/=]ReverseShrapnel: Her Bloody Dagger spell.

* GorgeousGorgon
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice[=/=]RedemptionEqualsDeath]]: [[spoiler:To prevent Hayate's life from being threatened again, and to enable the Wolkenritter to exist outside of the book]].
** [[spoiler: Defied in ''The Battle of Aces'', where, depending on the story path, Signum, Vita, or Hayate are having none of Rein's plan to absorb the Dark Pieces and sacrifice herself.]]
* HeyItsThatVoice: How many of ya knew she shares a seiyuu with [[DGrayMan Allen Walker]]? Or [[ElfenLied Lucy]]?
* ICannotSelfTerminate: [[spoiler:Asks Nanoha and Fate to seal her away]]
* InSpiteOfANail: In the Battle of Aces [[spoiler:it's implied that she will die in the relatively near future, in contrast to the Wolkenritter only being likely to pass away after Hayate's death, or if they're killed]].
* TheLawOfDiminishingDefensiveEffort: Averted, as she has no qualms with using external barriers.

* NighInvulnerability: See NoSell below.
* NoSell: Reinforce doesn't appear to even notice some of the stuff [[spoiler: Nanoha]] throws at her, and no-sells the rest.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: She fits the trope more than any other character in this show
* [[spoiler:PurposefullyOverpowered]]: During her story path in the ''Battle of Aces'' video game, [[spoiler:she becomes Unison Reinforce, i.e., Reinforce with Hayate acting as ''her'' [[FusionDance Unison Device]], giving her all the passive skills in the game. It's as broken as it sounds]].

* [[spoiler: RedemptionDemotion: Much less broken on the good team in ''The Battle of Aces'' than when still on team evil.]]
* [[spoiler:SchrodingersCat]] [[spoiler:Lives in ''The Battle of Aces'']].
* SweaterGirl: In ''The Battle of Aces'', [[http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/Liinna/Nanoha/Hayate/1264208642230.png like so]].

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Uses a city-sized Starlight Breaker to try and kill [[spoiler: Nanoha and Fate]], and Diabolic Emission follow by a Lightning of Annihilation (The spell used to destroy the Barrier in A's ep 5) is her Full Drive Burst in ''The Battle of Aces''.
* [[spoiler: TooCoolToLive]]
* TooManyBelts: [[spoiler: In evil mode.]]
* WeaponOfMassDestruction: This lady has killed planets before.

* ZettaiRyouiki ([[FashionableAsymmetry on one leg]])

Tropes associated with Reinforce II:
* AnIcePerson: She seems to specialize in ice magic.
* TheCutie: Just ''look'' at her tropes! If she were any more adorable it would warp reality!

* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Her first appearance is in the closing scene of the DistantFinale of ''A's''

* TheRival: [[PlayingWithFire Agito]]

The twin {{catgirl}} {{familiar}}s of Admiral Gil Graham. [[spoiler:They turn out to be the mysterious masked men who aid the Wolkenritter, and are working to help them complete the Book of Darkness so they can seal it away as part of Graham's plan]].

Tropes associated with Aria and Lotte:
* AlliterativeName: Lotte
* [[spoiler:BreakTheCutie]]: [[spoiler:Responsible for doing this to Hayate]].
* [[spoiler:BrokenPedestal]]: [[spoiler:For Chrono]]

* CatsAreMean: Lotte jokingly plans on eating Yuuno. [[spoiler:Not joking when they absorb the Wolkenritter and finish off Vita as Hayate watches]].
* [[spoiler:CostumeCopycat]]

* GenkiGirl: Lotte
* HeyItsThatVoice: Lotte has the same English voice actor as Momoko and Falin. In the original Japanese, Lotte has the same [[MiyuMatsuki seiyuu]] as Shinobu Tsukimura.
* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini]]: [[spoiler:No consequences ensue from the above BreakTheCutie incident]].

* PettingZooPeople

Tropes associated with Gil Graham

* [[spoiler:BrokenPedestal]]: [[spoiler:For Chrono and possibly for Hayate, if she ever finds out]]

* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini]]: [[spoiler:As a result of the TSAB's coverup of the incident, he got off quite easily for his plan to fill the Book of Darkness and seal it away along with Hayate.]]

* [[spoiler:TraitorShot]]: [[spoiler:The camera lingers on his face after his introductory scene, showing that he's slightly disturbed by the revelation that Chrono is handling the Book of Darkness case. This is the first hint that he's hiding something.]]

* [[spoiler:TreacheryCoverUp]]: [[spoiler:What he did in the Book of Darkness Case apparently remained a secret from much of the Bureau, but Regius seems to know about it in StrikerS]].
* [[spoiler:WellIntentionedExtremist]]

* ReDitto: Started as a manificient {{Expy}} of [[SuperRobotWars Lamia Loveless]] and gained her own traits over time [[spoiler:but in FORCE [[Wallbanger she's rewritten into a near]] CaptainErsatz of Lamia]].

* ReDitto: Started as a manificient {{Expy}} of [[SuperRobotWars Lamia Loveless]] and gained her own traits over time [[spoiler:but in FORCE [[WallBanger she's rewritten into a near]] CaptainErsatz of Lamia]].

* Determinator: She is quite possibly an even bigger determinator than Nanoha, or at least it ''looks'' more impressive since she has [[MadeOfIron insane endurance]]. Near the end of StrikerS, she is fighting through hordes of combat machines, [[spoiler:getting stabbed right through the chest]], and upon realizing that they was the same type of drones that [[spoiler:injured Nanoha ]]she proceed to destroy said drones. Then she is fighting through more hordes of combat machines until she arrives at her goal([[spoiler: The ships engine]] )heavily injured,try to destroy her goals, only to be greeted by automatic defense systems (laser shooting cubes) after her first attack fails. And her response?

Subsequently, she recovers from her paralysis and moves to Mid-Childa and joins the TSAB along with Nanoha and Fate, attaining a higher rank than either of them. Unfortunately, this means that in the third season she gets less action than her two new friends, or even her bodyguards. [[IsntItSad Isn't it sad, Hayate?]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: In addition to the perverted side, she also [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_shoujo_lyrical_nanoha_vivid/v02/c017/13.html answers a videophone while wearing a tanuki mask.]] Some Lieutenant Colonel...

* SquishyWizard: Claims that even Caro might be able to defeat her in single combat.

* GoodCostumeSwitch: Back when they were serving masters in ancient Belka who wanted the book's power, their armor looked "rough," according to Hayate. Justfied because each master designs the armors they wear.

* LastNameBasis: Refers to Fate as "Testarossa" even after Fate changes that to her middle name after being adopted by the Harlaowns.
* LawfulNeutral --> ChaoticGood --> LawfulGood: Before their appearance, the Wolkenritter served their various masters orders unquestioningly. For Hayate, they decided to disobey her in order to save her. By the time of ''[=StrikerS=]'', she is LawfulGood.

* LawfulNeutral --> ChaoticGood --> NeutralGood (Similar to Signum, except she's not as bound to the military in ''[=StrikerS=]'').

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Nanoha mentions in Sound Stage M3 that she can be very scary when she wants to be.

* LawfulNeutral --> NeutralGood

* ICanStillFight: In the final battle of ''[=StrikerS=]'', with Vice.
* LawfulNeutral

* [[spoiler: ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice]]: [[spoiler: If spoilers for the next chapter of ''Force'' are to be believed.]]

* MadeOfIron: She may very well have the most endurance and fortitude out of all the main characters
* MightyGlacier: She is very strong. I quote her and Graf Eisen - "There is nothing in the world we can't destroy". She also happens to be the character with ''the'' greatest endurance and durability [[spoiler: who's still alive]] (and being a huge [[TheDeterminator determinator]] to boot), despite having the body of a child. Her speed on the other hand, isn't exactly great.

* ReDitto: Started as a manificient {{Expy}} of [[SuperRobotWars Lamia Loveless]] and gained her own traits over time [[spoiler:but in FORCE [[WallBanger she's rewrited into a near]] CaptainErsatz of Lamia]].

** WorfHadTheFlu: Signum fans will be quick to point out that it wasn't until Cypha pulled out her GameBreaker weapon, which cancels magic and destroys devices, that Signum started losing decisively. When they were still fighting on "equal" terms, Signum was pretty much kicking Cypha's ass, even getting an OhCrap expression out of her.
**** It should be pointed out [[spoiler: she ver clearly LACKS the new Phlebotinum that the rest of the cast is equipped with when they go to take the Huckebein family on, her defeat AT ALL can probably be attributed almost ENTIRELY to this.]]

* Determinator: She is quite possibly an even bigger determinator than Nanoha, or at least it ''looks'' more impressive since she has [[MadeOfIron insane endurance]]. Near the end of StrikerS, she is fighting through hordes of combat machines, [[spoiler:getting stabbed right through the chest]], and upon realizing that they was the same type of drones that [[spoiler:injured Nanoha ]]she proceed to destroy said drones. Then she is fighting through more hordes of combat machines until she arrives at her goal[[spoiler: The ships engine]] heavily injured,try to destroy her goals, only to be greeted by automatic defense systems (laser shooting cubes) after her first attack fails. And her response? [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome "Bring it on."]]

* ChivalrousPervert: Will only feel up other characters if they would willingly let her, and notes that since Signum would only go along with it out of a sense of duty, she does not do it to her.
** So instead she [[DudeShesLikeInAComa feels Signum up when she's asleep]].

* BigBreastsBigDeal: She is somewhat embarrassed about her large breasts.

* UnskilledButStrong

* SoLastSeason [[spoiler:exatcly what happens to her, Laevatein and Agito at the beggining of FORCE]]

* FriendToAllChildren: Especially pronounced in Sound Stage M4. Giant doggy rides!

* [[spoiler:BrokenPedestal]]: [[spoiler:For Chrono]]

*** Except, you know, the little part of Signum being unisoned with Agito and Cypha didn't even have her weapon out when her arm was sliced off.
*** She pull not one, but TWO OhCrap expressions out of Cypha, the first one before even unisoning, also Unison increase only her magic output wich didn't much matter by that point(signum's own strenght plays a bigger role on that), oh and Cypha not only has her weapon out, she also uses it to try blocking the hit with already known results.

Formerly known as the Book of Darkness, and before that, the Book of the Night Sky [[spoiler:until the defense program was corrupted and the book's entire purpose changed. After Hayate is absorbed into the Book of Darkness, she manages to reach out to her, giving her a new name. She sacrifices herself for Hayate's sake after enabling the Wolkenritter to live on outside of her]].
