While we can use redirects (e.g. Guile Heroine), we're not supposed to edit trope names like that. Also, Char Clone is no longer a trope.


* {{Guile Hero}}ine: Audrey easily relies on her wit and persuasion as a means to fulfill her goals. Banagher [[WhatTheHellHero calls her out]] on it in Episode 2 twice -- when she attempted to get him to escape with her from the ''Nahael Argama'', and then when she is persuading Daguza to shoot her when her identity as Mineva is revealed.

* CharClone: Much like [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Jerid Messa]], Riddhe was largely overshadowed by a much more obvious CharClone, but has a lot of the traits nonetheless. Riddhe combines aspects from all three of Char's personas having difficulty with empathy, being TheRival to TheHero, and being a descendant from a place of political power. His SanitySlippage and obsession leans him towards the Char's Counterattack version whilst his heroic acts and prominence as the deuteragonist and lancer recall Quattro. Riddhe even uses the Delta Plus, a model built from the Delta Gundam which was also built into Quattro's Hyaku Shiki (which it shares a resemblance with).

* CharClone: Literally -- he uses the same mobile suit stock, outfit, and tactics as Char Aznable, complete with CoolMask. He even has the forehead scar that Char had. [[spoiler:In reality, he's a genetically altered close-copy of Char, a Cyber Newtype with the near exact distinctions of Char. Frontal's memories were said to have been implanted from the Sazabi's psycoframe, it being the only unit that Char piloted to have such tech. The unique thing about him, compared to the original, is that by episode 7 he becomes the first of the said character archetype to have a [[MetaMecha Mobile Armor]].]] To the delight of the fans, in the Japanese version he has the same voice (provided by Creator/ShuichiIkeda himself) as well. His English dub voice actor, Creator/KeithSilverstein, would later voice Char in the adaptation of The Origin. In essence, he is Char without Char's crippling personal problems.
** Episode 7 suggests that[[spoiler: while Full Frontal's body is indeed artificial, his spirit is a fragment of Char's, if not Char's outright. Syam Vist says that he is truly a ghost. Lalah Sune, in the end, addresses both Full and Char as the same person, telling him that he's let the world know his grievances, and it's time to let go. When Lalah, Amuro and Char finally ascend to a higher plane of existence, Frontal's physical body dies.]]



* FakeRealTurn: He's almost completely devoid of a sense of self and sees Neo-Zeon's mission as the end-all, be-all of his entire existence because the mad scientists who created him deliberately engineered his brain that way in an attempt to create a literal CharClone. While the ''real'' Char was a selfish, jaded, neurotic wreck who only exploited Neo-Zeon's ideology for the sake of his own petty personal vendettas, Frontal was created in the false image of the Char that his followers believed in. On the other hand, he's certainly no less ''crazy'' than the real one.

* {{Jerkass}}: Angelo is a petty, spiteful little cunt, plain and simple. He gets pissed about anything he thinks is "disrespectful" of [[CharClone his boss]], with the crowning examples being his apoplectic shrieking in episodes 2 and 6. In the former, he takes a shot at the Unicorn after it gives Full Frontal some difficulty in battle, then screeches at how it "made" him shoot, thereby ruining Full Frontal's "perfect battlefield". In the latter, Mineva says that Zeon are responsible for making Universal Century [[CrapsackWorld the way it is]] by starting the One Year War, and therefore bear the responsibility of fixing the entire sordid mess. Cue Angelo screaming at her for "refusing to understand [[CharClone the Captain's]] ideas". In the final episode he tells Banagher how he's hated him ever since they first met.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: The atrocities he's seen during the long Federation-versus-Zeon war have done some bad, ''bad'' things to him.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: The atrocities he's seen during the long Federation-versus-Zeon war have done some bad, ''bad'' things to him. When the Shamblo first begins firing at civilians and civilian buildings, Zinnerman refuses to intervene because it's a Federation city being destroyed. He only relents after Banagher beats the crap out of him and his bridge crew, disgusted at his callousness, don't lift a finger to stop it.
