Doesn't really explain why any of that would be a A Fate Worse Than Death. This trope isn't just "something very bad besides death happens to the character".


* AFateWorseThanDeath: For her defection to the Foundation, her lover, Shura died by the hands of Athrun Zala, her mobile suit was destroyed by Lunamaria, she is left on the moon with her destroyed unit and is forced to watch the Foundation crumble before her eyes. Agnes ends up all alone without anyone to turn to. Lunamaria does come and save her. However, Agnes will be arrested for her crimes.

* {{Nepotism}}: Agnes being placed on the moon's backline of defense was because her parents wanted her to be away from danger. Unlike most instances of this trope, Agnes did not seem pleased with this outcome.
* NeverMyFault: When she learns that Shinn is a refugee of Orb, she doubles down and uses it as ammunition against him in the prequel novel, yet blames everyone else for reacting badly to her words under the pretense that she is "right". Even in the novel's ending with everything she did, Agnes still believes that nothing was her fault.

* NoodleIncident: It is unknown what happens to her most recent boyfriend Leonard Valway in the "Moonlight Valkyrie" novel. All that is known from the first ''SEED Freedom'' novel is that Agnes had a brutal betrayal by a former lover which has not been expanded upon.

Added DiffLines:

* SympatheticPOV: Inverted. The "Moonlight Valkyrie" novel may be from Agnes's perspective but it provides Shinn with a more sympathetic backstory instead, demonstrating the kind of people he had to deal with from the ZAFT academy and why he sticks to Rey so much. As for Agnes herself, it only makes her even ''less'' sympathetic. The ''Freedom'' novels do give her a few sympathetic POV moments.

* AllForNothing: Her defection to the Foundation ends up being rendered moot at the end of the movie. She sides with the Foundation out of her attraction to Shura, but when all of the Black Knights, including Shura are dead, Agnes ends up all alone without anyone to turn to. The novel makes it worse as Agnes fumes she is not being treated any more favorably than she was at Compass when she defects.

* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:To Lacus. Ingrid is what she would be if she accepted the Foundation's ideals fully: repressing her true feelings for the one she loved, chained to the designated role chosen for her and not by her own will and her entire life solely being driven by her duty and worth for her country at the cost of her personal desires. Deconstructed as Ingrid is really unhappy with her life and seeing Orphee, the man she had feelings for, trying to woo Lacus who constantly and firmly rejects him did not help, but Ingrid feels she has no choice but to watch on the sidelines. Seeing Kira and Lacus reunited has made Ingrid realize what true love really is and Ingrid really envied them, making her even more sadder than she already was.]]

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Agnes failed in seducing Kira over to her but unknowingly managed to separate Lacus and Kira temporarily, starting a chain of events in her favor which sent Kira into HeroicBSOD which she was not there to witness.



* BadassOnPaper: Slightly downplayed as she is a genuinely skilled pilot. Agnes is a red coat ZAFT elite where she graduated at the top of her class, is known as the Moonlight Valkyrie and featured very prominently on magazines as a powerful and capable pilot on the lunar front. However, Yolan believes that to all be ZAFT propaganda and she has no known achievements on the field. Even her "victory" against Kira Yamato in ''SEED Freedom'' is from striking down his practically destroyed Rising Freedom. Even if Kira was holding back against Shinn, Shinn can still claim he defeated Kira on relatively even terms rather than betraying an almost defenseless Kira. In the end, Agnes loses against Lunamaria who is not only less skilled than Shinn, Athrun and Kira, but also is one of those "losers" Agnes detested.

* BeautyIsBad: Agnes is considered attractive by Vino and a lot of other men while also being a very cruel person to Shinn.



* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Different example from how this trope usually goes. Agnes is a very poor read on her targets as she thought Kira would pick her over Lacus when she badmouths two people that Kira trusts very much: Lacus and Shinn. Fukuda reveals (see her AllThereInTheManual trope) that she tried to start a relationship with Rey but failed as he ignored her, not considering that she previously bullied Shinn a lot right in front of him.



** Known to start relationship with people she considers "high-spec" and immediately breaks up with them when either a "bigger catch" in her words arrives or she feels they do not live up to her standards anymore.



* StupidEvil: Agnes is talented in getting men to do what she wants but she clearly does not consider how her targets think. Her attempt at seducing Kira fails when she talks ill of Shinn and Lacus right in his face, and that's not even considering that Kira already has Lacus and is incredibly faithful to her. Vino may be head-over-heels for her since she puts on a "good girl" act around the technicians but everyone else which includes Rey, Lunamaria and Yolan know her true self as she constantly badmouths Shinn in front of others. Even when defecting to the Foundation, Agnes is the only one out of them to wants to be rid of Lacus, despite how detrimental losing her to their plans are.

* AllThereInTheManual: [[https://twitter.com/zeonicscans/status/1759963543741333809 An interview from Fukuda]] states that Agnes's ultimate goal in the ZAFT academy was being the lover of Athrun Zala and also explained her brief interactions with Rey.



* AmbiguousSituation: Did Agnes really steal Lunamaria's first boyfriend in the academy, or did was he attracted to Agnes anyway? Information from Fukuda (see the AllThereInTheManual above) indicates that Agnes stole Lunamaria's boyfriend as a hobby while the novelization implies that Lunamaria's boyfriend went to Agnes of his own volition by both the girls. Even though the former is much more likely given Agnes's personality, the true reason is unknown.



* OddFriendship: More like odd respect. Rey may be the only person Agnes has come to genuinely respecting, never speaking ill of him and holding him in relatively high regard. The odd comes into play where she fancied him as a partner but never took the chance to try and make it a reality, nor did she belittle him for being friends with Shinn who she detests. His friendship with Shinn oddly did not affect Agnes's opinion unlike Kira's respect which caused her to defect in the first place.

Added DiffLines:

* LackOfEmpathy: His biggest issue is the same one Durandal had, that being his lack of ability to connect with the feelings of other people on a fundamental level.

He also can't comprehend why she chooses to defy the Destiny Plan even despite her very clearly explaining why she does.

* EvilCounterpart: To Kira. Both of them are the military leaders of their respective opposing factions. Kira is an emphatic and a role model leader among the ranks in Compass, Orphee is a megalomaniacal ControlFreak at his core, who like Aura, views people, Coordinators and Naturals alike to be subjugated. Kira and Lacus have a stable relationship through loyalty, trust, understanding, and compassion for each other. Orphee only views Lacus as an object of his own gratification, [[spoiler:to the point he is close trying to rape Lacus,]] only to be rejected.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Agnes starts out being fawned over by a large (and all male) support crew and basking in the attention, before heading into battle where she proceeds to mostly ignore Kira's orders to not escalate the battle by going off on her own and refusing Shinn's request to cover him, instead demanding he cover her instead. While Kira uses his typical precise disabling and Shinn does his best to try and follow suit, Agnes then proceeds to start slaughtering some of the enemy troops by using her GYAN's shield as a buzz saw with no mercy and machine guns the remains for good measure. Which basically shows just how well she's fits into Compass. Not very well at all.
