History Characters / MuvLuvAlternative

* BrokenBird: While it doesn't show, her [[spoiler:constant failures to protect her friends]] left her broken and insecure.

* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Sought to die in combat as atonement for being the sole survivor of squadron she commanded on their very first mission, but kept surviving battles, while losing comrades and subordinates, again and again. She finally joins them in ''The Unforgiven'', heralding the start of the PTSD arc.]]

* RousingSpeech / ItHasBeenAnHonor: In the wake of [[spoiler:[[EverybodysDeadDave the costly]] Defence of Yokohama Base]], he gives a speech prior to the launching of the largest offensive in human history, [[FinalBattle Operation Ouka]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s48k0oFfeVA In this speech]], he gives [[TrueCompanions the Valkyries]] a final sendoff as they depart to fulfill their role in the operation, [[SuicideMission to implement Alternative IV]], [[spoiler: [[KillEmAll or die trying]]]].

* AscendedExtra: Kasumi is much more important than she was in ''Unlimited'' [[spoiler:and in the ending has been 'promoted' to the world of ''Extra'' thanks to Sumika]].

* WhamLine: "''Takeru-chan'', you do ''not'' understand!"

* ManipulativeBitch: She resorts to some truly underhanded tactics in order to bring Alternative IV to fruition and to ensure victory against the BETA. It all comes to a head in the PTSD arc, where she actually allows a mentally fraught Takeru to escape back to the '"Extra'' verse, knowing full well the horrors that await him, because it just so happened to fit into her long-term plans anyway. Takeru eventually realizes this, but refuses to blame her for his mistakes because he doesn't want to play the victim.

* RapunzelHair: Her braids reach below her thighs.

** In the anime, the opening, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z47I4VOGEJk RInne]]'' ("(Cycle of) Reincarnation"), perfectly capturing [[spoiler:Takeru's being trapped in a never-ending loop of despair]].

* MajorlyAwesome: She is an Imperial Army major [[spoilertemporarily on loan to Alternative IV]] as a drill sergeant.

* DrillSergeantNasty: As Michiru remembered her in the story she told Takeru [[spoiler: in the aftermath of Marimo's death in ''Alternative'']]. [[spoiler: The full extent of her nastiness is revealed in the sidestory ''Confession'' where, among other things, she ''[[KickTheDog kicks Michiru's fallen fellow cadet during training until the latter stands up, and later forces Michiru to drink from a puddle after making her run long and hard]]'', while delivering a verbal beatdown that would have made [[Film/FullMetalJacket Sergeant Hartmann]] proud; in fact one of the Steam achievements for ''Confession'' is "Full Metal Marimo".]] She's mellowed out by the actual game, however, and while still very strict, is a bit more open with her kind and helpful nature.

** In the anime, the opening, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z47I4VOGEJk RInne]]'' ("(Cycle of) Reincarnation"), perfectly capturing [[spoiler:Takeru's being trapped in a never-ending cycle/loop of despair]].

** [[spoiler:His ultimate fate in any ''Unlimited'' loop according to WordOfGod, getting reduced to a brain in a jar like Sumika.]]

* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:When the XG-70d carrying Takeru, Sumika and Yashiro is getting fired on during the orbital drop, he's captaining the ''first'' shuttle that throws itself in the way of the lasers. Others follow in his example, enabling the XG-70d to survive reentry and deploy into the Original Hive]].

* RebelliousSpirit: If orders go against her judgment, she's likely to not follow them. [[spoiler: Feels this way out of resentment of military authority, because of her father's imprisonment and execution, and the subsequent humiliation her family had to endure as a result]].
''Alternative's'' story structure just leaves this as something that Takeru tries to work around rather address directly. [[spoiler:By the end of the coup arc it's largely been dealt with.]]

* ImageSong: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2j0tGLNFIw Tsubasa]]'' ("Wings"), which also plays at the end of ''Alternative''[='=]s Chapter 7, [[spoiler:when Takeru resolves to fix the mess he had created]].

* ImageSong: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hP39Snvbv0 Astraea]]'', which is also used in her ending in all-ages ''Extra''.
