History Characters / NeptuniaMainCPUs

** Noire and Blanc are much nicer in ''[=Re;Birth1=]'' compared to the first game, thanks to their characterizations borrowing heavily from their Hyperdimension counterparts.

* AlternateSelf: The Ultradimension timeline (i.e. [[Characters/NeptuniaOtherCPUs Plutia's]] world) versions of each of the goddesses, from Gamindustri in TheEighties, are their counterparts to the main goddesses we know in the main Hyperdimension timeline (i.e. Neptune's world). Neptune's counterpart goes further into being an entirely different person with the same color scheme and base personality. [[spoiler:Neptune's actual Ultradimension counterpart appears in TheStinger for the True End, and would later make her franchise debut in the [[VideoGame/MegaDimensionNeptuniaVII next canon game]]]].

* DoesNotLikeMen: Ultradimension Noire and Blanc.

* HappyPlace: In ''VII'''s Heartdimension arc, [[spoiler:they're kidnapped by Kurome and subject to a LotusEaterMachine, which the other characters get to see due to how the Heartdimension works]].

** Hyperdimension Leanbox is the only one of the four nations without a Candidate, so Vert is always eager to snatch up one of the other [=CPUs'=] little sisters, particularly Nepgear. Ultradimension Vert also claims Nepgear as her little sister on the basis of providing the CPU Memory that brings back her ability to transform, though she later sets her eyes on Peashy.

** Even Blanc gains this trait in ''Victory''. In the True Ending, [[spoiler:Ultradimension Blanc outright requests that Hyperdimension Blanc give her one of her sisters to raise in her dimension. Needless to say [[MamaBear Hyperdimension Blanc]] will hear nothing of it]].

** Ultradimension Blanc is more antagonistic to the other [=CPUs=] because of what happened during the Platform/{{SNESCDROM}}. Furthermore, Nintendo decided ''not'' to join the bandwagon of [=CDs=], and implemented ''strict'', almost KnightTemplar levels of guidelines for releasing games (the Seal of Quality, for example), but the decision had even worse expenses (cartridges would go for 70 USD each). Finally, one of the weirdest case examples of swearing? ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''.
** For Ultradimension Vert, the original Xbox went public [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_(console)#History early 2000 at Game Developer's Conference]] somewhere close to the same time as the [=PS2=] had successful sales. Original development started in ''1998''. Microsoft also wanted to focus on Japan due to [[FollowTheLeader successful video game sales there]].

** In ''VII'', Vert shows moments of extreme clinginess for Nepgear, such as where she tries to claim her as her own little sister, that she didn't have in earlier games. In fact, this personality quirk of hers originated from her [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Ultradimension counterpart]]. Though it may be a nod to her ending in ''mk2'', where she considers adopting Nepgear as a sister.

* PureMagicBeing: Hyperdimension [=CPUs=] are not only powered by Share Energy, but born from it, hence why anything that cancels it out is extremely debilitating to them.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: This primarily only applies to the Superdimension timeline [=CPUs=], as the first game states that they've been fighting for "thousands of generations", indicating that they've been around Gamindustri since the world's birth. Of the Ultradimension [=CPUs=] only Blanc [[spoiler:and Rei Ryghts]] apply as the rest only recently became immortal so they are at most only a few decades older than they appear by the end of the game. The reveal of a child from [[spoiler:Uzume's time as Planeptune's [=CPU=]]] being an old man in ''VII'' shows that Hyperdimension's Neptune falls a bit short of this, [[OlderThanTheyLook pushing around 100 at most]] due to her time in Ultradimension, while the others from Hyperdimension are [[VagueAge likely close in age to their appearance]].
* ShipTease: Many of the official art in ''[=Re;Birth1=]'' has Neptune and Noire flirting with or teasing each other. Unlike the first game (and subsequent games), were most of the teasing is done through supplementary materials, the sexual tension between them in the remake is far more obvious. Ultradimension Noire also has this with Plutia in ''Victory''.

** Despite neither characters being related, Neptune and Ultradimension Vert have this dynamic, due to the latter making Nepgear a CPU, and, by Neptune's logic, this making Nepgear Vert's little sister due to being born from the same memory core.

** Neptune becomes this in ''Victory''. While she was apathetic about her job and would get on her friends nerves, she still meant well to them and her citizens. In this game, she's significantly more lazier and egotistical, more than willing to put her wants over others. Her occasional jabs towards Noire is much more mean-spirited, and she is rather uncaring to her sister Nepgear - whom she devoted her love to in the previous game - to the point that she [[spoiler:deliberately leaves her in the Ultradimension for a day - which, in Ultradimension times, is a ''ten years'']]. Understandably, she is [[WhatTheHellHero called out for this behavior]].

** Ultradimension Blanc started off as a being significantly more [[AdaptationalJerkass unpleasant]] and [[AdaptationalVillainy antagonistic]] that her Hyper self. Following her defeat in chapter 3, however, she becomes more open and friendly to the rest of the team, although she still has bad blood with Noire. Iris Heart also states that beneath her tough and easily angered personality is a shy and sensitive young girl.

* TrueCompanions: For all of their faults, they really do seem to care about one another. Neptune even considers the Ultradimension [=CPUs=] to be this, as she always trusts that they'll do the right thing or they aren't really plotting something morally dubious.

** Only in the Japanese version, Noire yells "Nowa~!" when startled. It started with Ultradimension Noire, but was carried over to her Hyperdimension self in later installments.

** The Ultradimension [=CPUs=] are overall more selfish and rude to each other compared to their Hyperdimension counterparts, with [[TokenEvilTeammate Iris Heart]] being just as dangerous to them as she is to her enemies (such as using Noire, ''her childhood friend'', as an outlet for her pent-up aggression), to the point of bordering on WithFriendsLikeThese. That said, they still manage to be helpful allies to each other, courtesy of Neptune.

*** After [[spoiler:abandoning her in the Ultradimension for an entire decade]], Nepgear calls Neptune "stupid big-sister-who-abandoned-me-in-a-different-dimension".

** The slander of the CPU Shift Period in ''VII'' puts their Shares at an all-time low, leading to them getting trashed by Gold Third at the beginning of the Hyperdimension G arc.

[[quoteright:225:[[labelnote:Jersey Dress]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hyperdimension_neptunia_victory_neptune.png[[/labelnote]]]]

** In ''VII'', she is shown to be quite relieved when she sees that her physically older Ultradimension counterpart grew in both height and bust size.

** Unsurprisingly, Ultradimension Neptune also hates eggplants, even after they've been cooked. Interestingly, she didn't even know what an eggplant was, but practically vomited from a single bite.

* MagneticHero: Her friendly personality and strong will to help other people unites all four goddesses despite their hostile past of the Console War. The Ultradimension Makers also join her party because they are friends with the Neptune they met in ''Victory''.

* RotatingProtagonist: Despite her claim of being the protagonist of the series, this role has been shared with Noire, Blanc, Nepgear, IF, Plutia (who outright claims Neptune isn't the protagonist for ''Victory''), Uzume, and even her alternate selves. Also Vert for one brief section of ''VII''. Her Hyperdimension version in particular takes offense to this, [[RageAgainstTheAuthor threatening to sue to developers for "Protagonist Fraud" at one point]].

!!Superdimension Neptune (first game/[=Re;Birth1=]/[=reVerse=])

!!Hyperdimension Neptune (mk2/[=Re;Birth2=], Victory/[=Re;Birth3=], VII/VIIR, Sisters)

* FanservicePack: Over the TimeSkip between ''mk2'' and ''Victory'', her Purple Heart form has grown in the right places, with her chest in particular being bigger than what it was in ''mk2'' (and by extension the first game). This makes sense, as the Ultradimension disables the ability for Hyperdimension [=CPUs=] to transform, and thus a foreigner CPU would need a CPU memory to regain their powers.

* TooDumbToLive: According to the other [=CPUs=] anyway. When she starts to wonder where the Ultradimension Neptune is at they point out that, if the Ultradimension Neptune had the same general personality as the Hyperdimension Neptune, she has very likely ended up starving herself to death or worse without the immortality from being a CPU. [[spoiler:Hilariously enough, Ultradimension Neptune is not only alive and well in TheStinger of the True Ending. Not to mention, as ''VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII'' reveals, she's the one who gets to solve the final problem about [[ForTheEvulz Croire]] without even knowing what was going on and just wanted to show it off to her friends in that dimension when she caught her]].

!!Ultradimension Neptune (Victory/[=Re;Birth3=], VII/VIIR, Game Maker)

Debuting in the True End of ''Victory'', she is a bug catcher from the Ultradimension who captures Croire after mistaking her for an overgrown fly. She makes a proper appearance in the sequel ''Victory II'', assisting Nepgear and Uzume in the Zerodimension with her "Nep-Note", a special specimen book capable of sealing beings that catch her interest by shrinking them down to an appropriate size for the pages. While she is physically older than her Hyperdimension counterpart, their personalities are quite similar, including fourth-wall breaking and an inability to pronounce Arfoire's name properly.

* CallBack: Her gun is identical to the one used by her [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia Superdimension counterpart]].

* TheDrifter: Despite being from the Ultradimension, this Neptune doesn't call any place home and just goes from one to the next in search of new bugs, though she'll be willing to stop and help the people of whatever world she's ended up on.

* EasilyForgiven: Sorta. Despite the trouble she caused throughout the Hyperdimension G arc, Nepgear and the other Candidates save her from Arfoire, even before learning that she was a FakeDefector.
* EnigmaticMinion: Unlike the main Neptune who remains loyal to her friends despite her antics, this Neptune's true loyalty is somewhat confusing at times to say the least, and is frustratingly aloof to a great deal of characters. In the Heartdimension H arc, it turns out that she has been siding with Hyperdimension Neptune and her companions all along.
* EvilWearsBlack: Her outfit is a black version of Hyperdimension Neptune's, and despite starting out as an ally, she joins the antagonists midway through. However, she was secretly messing with their plans.
* FakeDefector: While on Kurome's side, she secretly undermines them by misplacing the millionth ran-pig for a mass sacrifice ritual and leaving the portal to Heartdimension open. Unfortunately, the bad guys saw through her act from the start and attempt to kill her in the 3rd arc.
* FightingYourFriend: Nepgear and Vert have to fight against her during Vert's story in the Hyperdimension G arc.

* GoingNative: ''Game Maker'''s dimension is the first one she's even remotely treated as a home since leaving the Ultradimension. Though she does ultimately decide to move on, she makes sure to give herself a reason to constantly revisit unlike her one time trip back to the Hyperdimension to drop Uzume off.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She stumbled into Heartdimension by accident and agreed to retrieve the Console for Kurome, then accidentally activated it while taking a closer look in town - leaving it in an alley for her counterpart to find while she ended up in Zerodimension. Thus, her legitimate accidents set of the events of the game.

[[quoteright:225:[[labelnote:Ultradimension Black Heart]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_9489.png[[/labelnote]]]]

** Her Ultradimension counterpart isn't much better. A RunningGag throughout ''Victory'' has a character be introduced by [[CrashIntoHello falling on her]], the first being Neptune, then Nepgear, and finally Yellow Heart, as well as being Iris Heart's favorite whipping girl. It's not to the extent of Nepgear, but it's still noticeable.

* GirlishPigtails: Typical for a {{Tsundere}}, her hair is tied into two waist-length pigtails. Ultradimension Black Heart retains this hairstyle, and Hyperdimension Black Heart gains two small tails as NEXT Black.

* BigBreastPride: She's quite boastful about being the most well-endowed of the [=CPUs=] in their default states, taking particular joy in mocking [[ACupAngst Blanc]] for not getting any bigger even after transforming. This leads to frustration for Ultradimension Vert when the even bigger Yellow Heart shows up, even wanting to ''kill her'' just so she can reinstate herself as the largest bust.

** In the Superdimension, she's a hedonistic but friendly girl whose worst sin is being rather demanding when playing co-op, and later on develops into a more responsible leader of her nation. She even confesses that she doesn't actually care about the Console Wars, and only fights to keep her Shares up.

!!Superdimension Vert (first game/[=Re;Birth1=]/[=reVerse=])

!!Hyperdimension Vert (mk2/[=Re;Birth2=], VII/VIIR, Sisters)

!![[Platform/{{Xbox}} Ultradimension Vert]] (Victory/[=Re;Birth3=])

* ACupAngst:
** Blanc's petite figure and small breasts, which stay the same in HDD, is a major sore spot for her, especially when teased by Vert. Can actually double as a reference to how Nintendo is frequently derided as kiddie trash, while the Playstation and [=XBox=] counterparts are more heavily stacked (''especially'' the [=XBox=]) since they're the more "cool and mature" consoles.
** While Neptune normally doesn't mind her flat chest, likely because she's perfectly aware of [[SheIsAllGrownUp how she looks while in HDD]], there are moments where she acts like this.
*** In ''Re;Birth 1'', when Younger and Older Brother begin to pretend she doesn't exist purely because she's flat, she's not above transforming to gain a bit of favor.
*** In ''Victory'', she also reacts negatively when Vert mocks her by calling them raisins.
---> '''Neptune''': *mumble, grumble* I'll raisin your face...
*** In ''VII'', she is shown to be quite relieved when she sees that her physically older Ultradimension counterpart grew in both height and bust size.

* BloodKnight:
** The ''[=Re;Birth1=]'' iteration of Black Heart seems to enjoy showing her moves a lot. Not only that, she is shown to have the most fun when fighting in comparison to the other three [=CPUs=], and she is the only one of the four who is laughing during battles. And she does that a lot.
** Out of the main [=CPUs=], Blanc is the most eager to get into battle, especially as White Heart. As displayed through her voice lines, she really enjoys getting into a fight and is quick to resort to violence at first whim. In ''[=Re;Birth1=]'' though this only applies to her White Heart; Blanc claims, by statement of admission, that she prefers negotiation over fighting.

* ButtMonkey:
** Noire's the prime target out of the main four for being the butt of jokes or bad luck. Even when finally getting to cosplay openly in ''VII'', it gets ruined for her due to a partial WardrobeMalfunction that she didn't notice, and unsurprisingly, she has the lowest LUK stat in the game.
*** Her Ultradimension counterpart isn't much better. A RunningGag throughout ''Victory'' has a character be introduced by [[CrashIntoHello falling on her]], the first being Neptune, then Nepgear, and finally Yellow Heart, as well as being Iris Heart's favorite whipping girl. It's not to the extent of Nepgear, but it's still noticeable.
*** Even in [[VideoGame/HyperdevotionNoireGoddessBlackHeart her own game]], she isn't safe. Almost every time a new character joins, there's a scene with her and said character where something embarrassing/humiliating happens to her.
** Poor Nep-Nep. She REALLY got the short end of the stick in ''Superdimension Neptune''.
*** Her body is erased from time not too far in, she eventually merges with IF's bike, and it only goes [[FromBadToWorse downhill]] from there.
*** Neither IF nor Segami treat her well.
*** IF and Segami told Neptune that she's weak which Nep [[CantTakeCriticism doesn't take criticism well]] because she likes to think that she's the "ultimate protagonist" when in truth [[TheHero IF]] is in that game.
*** Nobody likes Bike Neptune or her color scheme for that matter, in fact most of the characters, especially Segami, [[MaliciousMisnaming derisively call her "Crap bike!" Nepgear's nickname of "Maniacal Mechanic" isn't any more flattering]].
*** [[RunningGag IF and Segami telling Neptune to either shut up or to stop changing topics]].

* CoolBigSis: Neptune, Noire and Blanc have a beloved little sister known as a CPU Candidate. Vert likes to dote over all the Candidates because she doesn't have one of her own.

* HypocriticalHumor:
** In both the original game and ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', though it might go unnoticed, Neptune told Compa that a character wielding a giant weapon is cliche...and yet her weapon as Purple Heart is a giant katana. Later on, Neptune herself can also yield swords twice her own size.
** In ''Victory'', Ultradimension Blanc says Noire has a short fuse... while simply looking at Blanc funny can piss ''her'' off.

** Vert is given the "Thunder Tits" moniker by Blanc.
* LadyOfWar:
** While Neptune is a total goofball, Purple Heart is much more mature, and wields her katana with skill and grace.
** Vert's calm personality, formal speech pattern, majestic appearance and strong offensive power makes her this.

* LittleMissAlmighty: All of the goddesses don the appearances of young girls, adolescent teenagers, or older women who look like they're reaching their mid 20s.

* OnlySaneWoman:
** For the most part, Noire tends to be the most rational and level-headed [=CPUs=], considering that the others consist of a BrilliantButLazy GenkiGirl with a knack for smashing the fourth wall, a calm but ''easily'' angered bookworm who swears like a sailor, and a GamerChick who wants to claim the others sisters as her own. [[OnlySaneByComparison That's not to say Noire herself is immune from being out there, however]].
** Surprisingly enough, Neptune is forced into this role quite a lot in ''Victory''. During story segments she's usually the one keeping a level head, and in a few comedy scenes she was made into the straight-man. This is a result of being TheOlderImmortal in a world where her juniors all have several [[VagueAge hundred or thousand years]] less experience than her, and conflicting attitudes to match.
--> '''Neptune''': How did I become the only one with any common sense?

* RoyalRapier:
** Noire's weapon in human form are one-handed short swords.
** Vert uses this as her main weapon for the Enchanter class in ''Cyberdimension'', which might be a not-so-subtle way of [[HeroesPreferSwords showing she's the star of this spin-off]].

* SourOutsideSadInside:
** Ultra Blanc puts up the front of an aggressive and hostile delinquent to cover up her insecurities.
** Hyper Noire becomes one in ''Sisters'', when the party first encounters her. At first glance, she occupies herself with work, refuses to help save Planeptune, and barely bats an eyelash at her sister returning after 2 years. Deep down, she's actually quite distraught about Neptune's disappearance.
* TheStoic:
** While Neptune is normally the meta-savvy GenkiGirl in her human form, as Purple Heart, she becomes serious and calm, though she has her moments.
** Blanc is normally calm and inexpressive, often serving as the more [[TheSpock logical member of the group]]... just as long as you don't make her mad.

* StoneWall: Her offense is only decent, but thanks to her high HP, VIT and MEN stats and her Physical Resist + and Magic Resist + skills, she can take a serious beating, more so than most other physical attackers. [[FridgeBrilliance Which is rather appropriate for the character representing]] [[MadeOfIndestructium the infamously durable Nintendo consoles]]. But she is also the slowest character.

* TookALevelInKindness: She started off as a being significantly more [[AdaptationalJerkass unpleasant]] and [[AdaptationalVillainy antagonistic]] that her Hyperdimension self. Following her defeat in chapter 3, however, she becomes more open and friendly to the rest of the team, although she still has bad blood with Noire. Iris Heart also states that beneath her tough and easily angered personality is a shy and sensitive young girl.

-->'''Neptune:''' Now you've done it. Teacher! Noire just made Blanc cry!!

* StraightMan: Much to her eternal chagrin, she has to play this role for the two {{Plucky Comic Relief}}s, Neptune and Plutia, who seem to see their adventure as an opportunity to set up a three CPU comedy act while she desperately tries to take it seriously and keep things on track. She even tries to pass the role of straight man off to Blanc at one point. Blanc refuses, however, preferring to be, as she puts it, an audience member.

** Noire's She's the prime target out of the main four for being the butt of jokes or bad luck. Even when finally getting to cosplay openly in ''VII'', it gets ruined for her due to a partial WardrobeMalfunction that she didn't notice, and unsurprisingly, she has the lowest LUK stat in the game.

*** Even in [[VideoGame/HyperdevotionNoireGoddessBlackHeart her own game]], she isn't safe. Almost every time a new character joins, there's a scene with her and said character where something

*** [[RunningGag IF and Segami telling Neptune to either shut up or to stop changing topics]].embarrassing/humiliating happens to her.

* CoolShip: One of her attacks transforms her into one. As a bonus, you can get Plutia to do it with her for [[CombinationAttack a double helping of]] [[WaveMotionGun purple laser death]]...or at least its "[[EarthShatteringKaboom dramatization]]".
* ChildishOlderSibling: In the main games sans the first and spin-offs, Neptune is the older of the two Planeptune sisters; but not only does she look younger than Nepgear, she even behaves more childishly than her. This, however, only applies to her human form; her [[SuperMode goddess form]] is a [[SplitPersonality completely]] [[OlderAlterEgo different]] [[LadyOfWar story]] [[TheStoic altogether]].

* TotallyRadical: She tends to use some 80s/90s slang such as "bad dude", her death cry of "I'm... outies...", and even "totally rad" at one point. She also has a tinge of ValleyGirl in her voice. [[FridgeBrilliance Keep in mind that]] [[JustifiedTrope she is supposed to represent]] Creator/{{SEGA}}, who were all about being TotallyRadical in the 90s.

--> '''Neptune''': How did I become the only one with any common sense?

* SiblingRivalry: Very notable in ''Victory''.
** She has a rather one sided one with Nepgear. Her [[TookALevelInJerkass increasingly inconsiderate treatment of Nepgear]] comes after her sister screws things up, both accidentally and not, for her. Notably [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2 taking her job]] but trying to still push that work onto Neptune, indirectly getting her trapped in the alternate dimension ''twice'', [[spoiler: stabbing her in the back for trying to make it so she could safely stay with the group]], and blaming Neptune for something Plutia did.
** Despite not being Vert's sister, Neptune has this dynamic with '''Ultradimension''' Vert, due to Vert making Nepgear a CPU, and, (by her logic anyway) this making Nepgear her little sister due to being born from the same memory core.

* WhatTheHellHero: Gets called out ''a lot'' in ''Victory'', as a result of her unpleasant and apathetic behavior.
** Nepgear calls Neptune "stupid big-sister-who-abandoned-me-in-a-different-dimension". That's a pretty apt description.
** If you thought Nepgear was the only one upset with her, you couldn't be further from the truth; Histoire has a much more scathing opinion of Neptune in the Japanese dialogue [[spoiler:where she bluntly states that Neptune is absolutely unqualified to even be Nepgear's elder sister]].
** Neptune even calls ''herself'' out on it (very briefly though) when she claims that she fails as a big sister in the prologue. Nepgear however forgives her because they finally get to be alone together (even if it's just the prologue).
** In true 4th-Wall-Breaking-Neptune fashion, she even goes as far as to use ''the trophy descriptions'' (in the original game) to apologize to Nepgear. That's some hardcore guilt.

* HeroesPreferSwords: As expected of the one who openly declares herself the main character, she still sticks with a class that prefers swords in ''Cyberdimension''.

* OnlySaneWoman: She and IF share this role; in fact, they hit it off quickly because of this.

* ShipTease: Most of the official art has her doing this with Neptune. Unlike the first game (and subsequent ones before ''[=Re;Birth1=]''), where Noire's ship tease with Neptune is done through supplementary materials, the sexual tension between them in the remake is far more obvious.

%%* OnlySaneWoman: Plays as this.
* ShipTease: Many of the official art has her doing this with Neptune and Plutia.

* WhatTheHellHero: Neptune quickly and accurately figures out why Noire would suddenly be not only okay with, but actually encouraging, Plutia's transformation into Iris Heart and calls her out on it.

* ClusterFBomb: She can be prone to spewking f-bombs from time to time. In ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', [[spoiler:she hilariously wins the Q&A contest between her and fake Blanc precisely because of this. She also gets mad at Financier for asking embarrassing questions about her novel writing, which fake Blanc revealed to them earlier]].

* TookALevelInJerkass: Similar to Neptune in [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory the previous game]], ''VII'' Vert is significantly more self-centered and mean-spirited than in previous games. While she still retains her lady-like aspects, she is more than willing to prioritize her gaming over the safety of her citizens, is considerably more willing to bully [[ACupAngst Blanc]] about her chest at every opportunity she can find, and won't hesitate to force Nepgear into being her sister regardless of how the latter feels about that.

* SiblingRivalry: Despite not being Neptune's sister, Ultradimension Vert now has this dynamic with Neptune, due to Vert making Nepgear a CPU, and, (by her logic anyway) this making Nepgear her little sister due to being born from the same memory core.

* ACupAngst: While Neptune normally doesn't mind her flat chest, likely because she's perfectly aware of [[SheIsAllGrownUp how she looks while in HDD]], there are moments where she acts like this.
** In ''Re;Birth 1'', when Younger and Older Brother begin to pretend she doesn't exist purely because she's flat, she's not above transforming to gain a bit of favor.

** In ''VII'', she is shown to be quite relieved when she sees that her physically older Ultradimension counterpart grew in both height and bust size.

* TheStoic: As Purple Heart, she becomes serious and calm, though she has her moments.

* ImTakingHerHomeWihMe: Gains this trait in ''Victory''. When she figures out who the baby IF and Compa are, she immediately requests that she be allowed to take them back to her world. Histoire shoots the idea down, so she decides to just make the most of the time she has with them there. She also reacts this way when she first meets Mini-Histy, nearly strangling the poor thing to death with a bear hug.

* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''Victory'', she's significantly more lazy, selfish, and petty compared to her lazy but well-meaning depiction in the earlier games. She's rather uncaring to Nepgear (even before they went to the Ultradimension) despite devoting her love to the latter in the previous game, and is more openly rude to Noire with her {{Friendlessness Insult}}s. The former ends up [[WhatTheHellHero calling her out on her callous behavior towards her]] when in the Good Ending, [[spoiler:she leaves her in the Ultradimension for a day - which is actually ''ten years'' in that time]]. However...
* TookALevelInKindness: In ''VII'', she seemed to have mellowed out quite a bit from the previous installment, and her jabs aren't as insensitive as they were before.

* BloodKnight: The ''[=Re;Birth1=]'' iteration of Black Heart seems to enjoy showing her moves a lot. Not only that, she is shown to have the most fun when fighting in comparison to the other three [=CPUs=], and she is the only one of the four who is laughing during battles. And she does that a lot.

* ACupAngst: Her petite figure and small breasts, which stay the same in HDD, is a sore spot, especially when teased by Vert. Can actually double as a reference to how Nintendo is frequently derided as kiddie trash, while the Playstation and [=XBox=] counterparts are more heavily stacked (''especially'' the [=XBox=]) since they're the more "cool and mature" consoles.

* BloodKnight: Out of the main [=CPUs=], Blanc is the most eager to get into battle, especially as White Heart. As displayed through her voice lines, she really enjoys getting into a fight and is quick to resort to violence at first whim. In ''[=Re;Birth1=]'' though this only applies to her White Heart; Blanc claims, by statement of admission, that she prefers negotiation over fighting.

* TheStoic: Blanc is normally calm and inexpressive, often serving as the more [[TheSpock logical member of the group]]... just as long as you don't make her mad.

* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: [[spoiler:Ultradimension Blanc outright requests that Hyperdimension Blanc give her one of her sisters to raise in her dimension. Needless to say [[MamaBear Hyperdimension Blanc]] will hear nothing of it]].

* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Hyperdimension Leanbox is the only one of the four nations without a Candidate, so Vert is always eager to snatch up one of the other [=CPUs'=] little sisters, particularly Nepgear. Ultradimension Vert also claims Nepgear as her little sister on the basis of providing the CPU Memory that brings back her ability to transform, though she later sets her eyes on Peashy.

* InSeriesNickname: Has no less than '''5''' of them, the most of any character in the series, largely stemming from others finding her name hard to pronounce.
** Nep-Nep / Nepu-Nepu (Japanese) : Used by Compa and B-Sha
** Nep / Nepu-ko (Japanese) : Used by IF
** Neppy / Nep-chan (Japanese): Used by Plutia / Pururut
** Neptuna / Neputenu (Japanese) : Used by Peashy
** Nepsy / Nep-chi (Japanese): Used by Uzume

* LadyOfWar: While Neptune is a total goofball, Purple Heart is much more mature, and wields her katana with skill and grace.

* VerbalTic: Neptune often uses "Neppu!" ("Nep!" in the English dub) as an exclamation when surprised.

* HypocriticalHumor: Though it might go unnoticed, Neptune told Compa that a character wielding a giant weapon is cliche...and yet her weapon as Purple Heart is a giant katana. Later on, Neptune herself can also yield swords twice her own size.

* AgeLift: While the original game put the Goddesses in the ReallySevenHundredYearsOld range, this particular Neptune is at most [[OlderThanTheyLook pushing 100]] thanks to her time in the Ultradimension, given that a child from [[spoiler: Uzume's time as Planeptune's CPU]] is still around as an old man in ''VII''.
* AloofBigSister: In ''Victory'', for the most part, she doesn't seem to care what happens to Nepgear anymore. From everyone making fun of her, to Iris Heart torturing her ''right in front of everyone'', even thinking its a suitable punishment, after Nepgear fought against her alongside Vert because the latter was actually giving her some sisterly attention. The Good Ending even has her [[spoiler: leaving Nepgear in the Ultradimension when she makes it back to the Hyperdimension and just spending her time sleeping with Plutia, taking a while to remember that Nepgear is trapped in the past]]. However, there are also several instances where she shows [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone genuine regret over her treatment of Nepgear]].

--> '''Neptune''': Oh, wow! Who ''is'' this stylish, cool, beautiful girl!?\\
'''Neptune''': *with sparkling eyes* Still, I approve of me. I look pretty hot!

* VerbalTic: Like Neptune, she yells "Nowa~!" when startled. It started with Ultradimension Noire, but was carried over to her Hyperdimension self in later installments.

* SourOutsideSadInside: In ''Sisters'', when the party first encounters her, she occupies herself with work, refuses to help save Planeptune, and barely bats an eyelash at her sister returning after 2 years. Deep down, she's actually quite distraught about Neptune's disappearance.

* CrashIntoHello: How pretty much ''anyone'' meets Ultradimension Noire.
* DoesNotLikeMen:
** When [[spoiler:Anonydeath showed up outside of his armor masquerading as Peashy's father, everyone besides Noire and Blanc found him cute, and Noire had to remind everyone that he is a ''man'']]. She also responds "men are the worst" when she hears that Tekken was harassed by men that she beat at the arcade.
** The only moment she showed some interest in men was in the non-canon CD ''If A Goddess Was Your Wife CD Track 02 - Noire'', which doesn't take place in any universe since [[WordOfGod Tsunako clarified in one of her 4-komas that it's just the goddesses roleplaying as if they were married]] so she actually have never show any interest in the opposite gender.

* MakeAnExampleOfThem: Fires a Lastation Soldier because he didn't completely listen to a report. [[AscendedExtra Poor guy, he'd just gotten three appearances...]]

* StoneWall: Her offense is only decent, but thanks to her high HP, VIT and MEN stats and her Physical Resist + and Magic Resist + skills, she can take a serious beating, more so than most other physical attackers. [[FridgeBrilliance Which is rather appropriate for the character representing]] [[MadeOfIndestructium the infamously durable Nintendo consoles.]] But she is also the slowest character.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Done intentionally in ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', when she and Vert are trying to seduce the Lastation Basillicom Staff Member. Blanc uses the "cute little sister" routine, calling him "Onii-chan". Of course, Vert mocks her later for her unexpected performance, with Blanc claiming that she read in a book that some men like that kind of girls.

* DoesNotLikeMen: Blanc gives off this vibe when [[spoiler:she sees Plutia holding the baby IF, Compa, and Peashy]], saying she "hadn't detected the stench of a man" the last time she was there (though she'd only used the word "presence" in the Japanese version). Considering that [[spoiler:the only man she's seen to have ever dealt with stabbed her in the back and stole her country from her]], you can't blame her. Then again, when RED all but proposes to her, Blanc says she doesn't mind either way.
-->'''Blanc:''' I don't care. It kind of soothes my soul to be called someone's wife, male or female.

* HypocriticalHumor: She says that Noire has a short fuse... while simply looking at Blanc funny can piss ''her'' off.

* SourOutsideSadInside: She acts aggressive and hostile to cover up her insecurities.

* InSeriesNickname: Is labeled "Thunder Tits" by Blanc/White Heart.
* LadyOfWar: Her calm personality, formal speech pattern, majestic appearance and strong offensive power makes her this.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: In ''VII'', she shows moments of extreme clinginess for Nepgear, such as where she tries to claim her as her own little sister, that she didn't have in earlier games. In fact, this personality quirk of hers originated from her [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Ultradimension counterpart]]. Though it may be a nod to her ending in ''mk2'', where she considers adopting Nepgear as a sister.

* SlapOnTheWristNuke: The CPU Neptune attack has her transform into a spaceship, fly out into space, and then has the scene zoom out to show the entire landmass you're currently on before firing off a WaveMotionGun, destroying the entire thing. However there's a disclaimer down on the bottom of the screen:
--> [[LampshadeHanging *This isn't actually happening.]]

* BroughtDownToNormal: When she is sent into the Ultradimension, she loses her ability to transform into HDD. She initially doesn't mind, seeing it as freedom from being forced to work, but quickly realizes [[GrowingUpSucks she doesn't like the full implications]] and [[ImmortalitySeeker decides to rectify it.]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''Victory'', she comes off as much more lazy and selfish compared to her lazy but well-meaning depiction in the earlier games, being rather uncaring to Nepgear (even before they went to the Ultradimension) and openly rude to Noire, leading to the former [[WhatTheHellHero calling her out on her callous behavior towards her]]. However...

* ItsAllAboutMe: One of her {{fatal flaw}}s is her selfishness and pride over others.

** The only moment she showed some interest in men was in the non-canon CD ''If A Goddess Was Your Wife CD Track 02 - Noire''. which doesn't take place in any universe since [[WordOfGod Tsunako clarified in one of her 4-komas that it's just the goddesses roleplaying as if they were married]] so she actually have never show any interest in the opposite gender.

* HypocriticalHumor: Blanc says Noire has a short fuse... while simply looking at Blanc funny can piss ''her'' off.

* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: [[spoiler: Ultradimension Blanc outright requests that Hyperdimension Blanc give her one of her sisters to raise in her dimension. Needless to say [[MamaBear Hyperdimension Blanc]] will hear nothing of it.]]

** In ''Victory'', Noire gets flustered when MAGES.' calls her an "Assistant", due Creator/AsamiImai (Noire's Japanese voice actress) also playing Kurisu Makise in ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate''.

** In ''RPG'', they notably all lack their memories with Neptune even stating she doesn't remember anything past her name.

* DoesNotLikeMen: Ultradimension Noire and Blanc.
** When [[spoiler:Anonydeath showed up outside of his armor masquerading as Peashy's father, everyone besides Noire and Blanc found him cute, and Noire had to remind everyone that he is a ''man'']]. She also responds "men are the worst" when she hears that Tekken was harassed by men that she beat at the arcade.

Considering that [[spoiler:the only man she's seen to have ever dealt with stabbed her in the back and stole her country from her]], you can't blame her. Then again, when RED all but proposes to her, Blanc says she doesn't mind either way.
-->'''Blanc:''' I don't care. It kind of soothes my soul to be called someone's wife, male or female.

** In ''Sisters'', when Arfoire revived in the PC Continent, Neptune decides to fight her alone so the other three [=CPUs=] can evacuate citizens before the spacetime rift consumes everything. She never came back, and was presumed to have been swallowed by the rift along with Arfoire. [[spoiler:She was actually saved by Gray Sister, but then gets captured by Arfoire while asleep in the sealing device]].
* HypocriticalHumor:
** In both the original game and ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', though it might go unnoticed, Neptune told Compa that a character wielding a giant weapon is cliche...and yet her weapon as Purple Heart is a giant katana. Later on, Neptune herself can also yield swords twice her own size.
** In ''Victory'', Ultradimension Blanc says Noire has a short fuse... while simply looking at Blanc funny can piss ''her'' off.

* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Noire and Vert's dresses are designed this way. It exposes the top half of their breasts, they could've likely fallen off if they weren't tightly worn.
* InSeriesNickname:
** Neptune has no less than '''5''' of them, the most of any character in the series, largely stemming from others finding her name hard to pronounce.
*** Nep-Nep / Nepu-Nepu (Japanese) : Used by Compa and B-Sha

** Vert is given the "Thunder Tits" moniker by Blanc.

-->'''Neptune''': "Nepgear ain't never going to marry! I'm banning the idea forever!"

* VerbalTic:
** Neptune often uses "Neppu!" ("Nep!" in the English dub) as an exclamation when surprised.
** Only in the Japanese version, Noire yells "Nowa~!" when startled. It started with Ultradimension Noire, but was carried over to her Hyperdimension self in later installments.

** If you thought Nepgear was the only one upset with her, you couldn't be further from the truth; Histoire has a much more scathing opinion of Neptune in the Japanese dialogue [[spoiler: where she bluntly states that Neptune is absolutely unqualified to even be Nepgear's elder sister.]]

* MadnessMantra: After a few hours of Iris Heart giving "her most popular lecture", she comes out of the room babbling like a broken record. It actually continues onto the CPU Hotel and Basilicom maps if you try to talk with her there, your save files for that portion of the story, and [[OverlyLongGag finally ends shortly into the next story event involving her.]]

* ACupAngst:
** Blanc's petite figure and small breasts, which stay the same in HDD, is a major sore spot for her, especially when teased by Vert. Can actually double as a reference to how Nintendo is frequently derided as kiddie trash, while the Playstation and [=XBox=] counterparts are more heavily stacked (''especially'' the [=XBox=]) since they're the more "cool and mature" consoles.
** While Neptune normally doesn't mind her flat chest, likely because she's perfectly aware of [[SheIsAllGrownUp how she looks while in HDD]], there are moments where she acts like this.
*** In ''Re;Birth 1'', when Younger and Older Brother begin to pretend she doesn't exist purely because she's flat, she's not above transforming to gain a bit of favor.
*** In ''Victory'', she also reacts negatively when Vert mocks her by calling them raisins.
---> '''Neptune''': *mumble, grumble* I'll raisin your face...
*** In ''VII'', she is shown to be quite relieved when she sees that her physically older Ultradimension counterpart grew in both height and bust size.

* BloodKnight:

In fact, this personality quirk of hers originated from her [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Ultradimension counterpart]]. Though it may be a nod to her ending in ''mk2'', where she considers adopting Nepgear as a sister.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: This primarily only applies to the Superdimension timeline [=CPUs=], as the first game states that they've been fighting for "thousands of generations", indicating that they've been around Gamindustri since the world's birth. Of the Ultradimension [=CPUs=] only Blanc [[spoiler:and Rei Ryghts]] apply as the rest only recently became immortal so they are at most only a few decades older than they appear by the end of the game. The reveal of a child from [[spoiler: Uzume's time as Planeptune's [=CPU=]]] being an old man in ''VII'' shows that Hyperdimension's Neptune falls a bit short of this, [[OlderThanTheyLook pushing around 100 at most]] due to her time in Ultradimension, while the others from Hyperdimension are [[VagueAge likely close in age to their appearance]].
* SourOutsideSadInside:
** Ultra Blanc puts up the front of an aggressive and hostile delinquent to cover up her insecurities.
** Hyper Noire becomes one in ''Sisters'', when the party first encounters her. At first glance, she occupies herself with work, refuses to help save Planeptune, and barely bats an eyelash at her sister returning after 2 years. Deep down, she's actually quite distraught about Neptune's disappearance.

* TheStoic:
** While Neptune is normally the meta-savvy GenkiGirl in her human form, as Purple Heart, she becomes serious and calm, though she has her moments.
** Blanc is normally calm and inexpressive, often serving as the more [[TheSpock logical member of the group]]... just as long as you don't make her mad.

* TookALevelInJerkass:
** Neptune becomes this in ''Victory''. While she was apathetic about her job and would get on her friends nerves, she still meant well to them and her citizens. In this game, she's significantly more lazier and egotistical, more than willing to put her wants over others. Her occasional jabs towards Noire is much more mean-spirited, and she is rather uncaring to her sister Nepgear - whom she devoted her love to in the previous game - to the point that she [[spoiler:deliberately leaves her in the Ultradimension for a day - which, in Ultradimension times, is a ''ten years'']]. Understandably, she is [[WhatTheHellHero called out for this behavior]].
** Vert is significantly more self-centered and mean-spirited in ''VII'' than in previous games. While she still retains her lady-like aspects, she is more than willing to prioritize her gaming over the safety of her citizens, is considerably more willing to bully [[ACupAngst Blanc]] about her chest at every opportunity she can find, and won't hesitate to force Nepgear into being her sister regardless of how the latter feels about that.
* TookALevelInKindness:
** In contrast to how she acted in ''Victory'', Neptune in ''VII'' seemed to have mellowed out quite a bit, and her jabs aren't as insensitive as they were before.
** Ultradimension Blanc started off as a being significantly more [[AdaptationalJerkass unpleasant]] and [[AdaptationalVillainy antagonistic]] that her Hyper self. Following her defeat in chapter 3, however, she becomes more open and friendly to the rest of the team, although she still has bad blood with Noire. Iris Heart also states that beneath her tough and easily angered personality is a shy and sensitive young girl.

!!General Tropes

** Also in the Japanese dub, Vert shares the same weapon as [[VideoGame/CrossEdge Mikoto]], another character voiced by Creator/RinaSato seiyuu.

** Pride, Pettiness, and Laziness. The first two are discussed shortly after [[spoiler: Peashy is kidnapped by Anonydeath]] as the cause of the fight between the two. And while not directly stated, is implied to be part of the growing SiblingRivalry with Nepgear.

* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: When she figures out who the baby IF and Compa are, she immediately requests that she be allowed to take them back to her world. Histoire shoots the idea down, so she decides to just make the most of the time she has with them there. She also reacts this way when she first meets Mini-Histy, nearly strangling the poor thing to death with a bear hug.

* LightningBruiser: In contrast to the previous games where she's a GlassCannon, she's this in ''Victory'' even in her HDD form. Dishes out good damage, is the only one who can break the [[{{Cap}} damage limit]] naturally, is a good tank, and moves pretty fast. She also has a large array of [[StatusBuff buffs]] that are useful, and she's got a lot of [[LimitBreak EXE Attacks]] (see below trope). Her problem? She can't heal unless you use an item, she has problems dealing a lot of damage thanks to enemy traits that stops her from attacking at full power (even if Neptune has a bigger strength stat than Noire when they have the same levels), and not a lot of debuffs (which in this game, is [[NintendoHard pretty bad]]). Most tactics with the OptionalBoss fights will involve her almost tanking instead of attacking while the rest of the characters wail on the enemy.

* SourOutsideSadInside: In ''Sisters'', when the party first encounters her, she occupies herself with work, refuses to help save Planeptune, and barely bats an eyelash at her sister returning after 2 years. Deep down, she's actually quite distraught about Neptune's disappearance.

* SourOutsideSadInside: She acts aggressive and hostile to cover up her insecurities.

* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Hyperdimension Leanbox is the only one of the four nations without a Candidate, so Vert is always eager to snatch up one of the other [=CPUs'=] little sisters, particularly Nepgear. Ultradimension Vert also claims Nepgear as her little sister on the basis of providing the CPU Memory that brings back her ability to transform, though she later sets her eyes on Peashy.

!!Superdimension Neptune ([=HDN1=] and [=Re;Birth1=])

* TookALevelInKindness: In ''VII'', she seemed to have mellowed out quite a bit from the previous installment, and her jabs aren't as insensitive as they were before.

!!Superdimension Noire ([=HDN1=] and [=Re;Birth1=])

* FashionableAsymmetry: Her [[Platform/PlayStation4 Orbital-S]] Processor Unit.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Named for the system's codename Orbis[[/labelnote]]

!!Superdimension Blanc ([=HDN1=] and [=Re;Birth1=])

* TookALevelInKindness: Overtime, she becomes more open and friendly to the rest of the team, although she still has bad blood with Noire. Iris Heart also states that beneath her tough and easily angered personality is a shy and sensitive young girl.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Played with. Her blonde hair has remained consistent in her human, and how nice she is depends on the universe.

!!Superdimension Vert ([=HDN1=] and [=Re;Birth1=])

** Ultradimension Blanc is more antagonistic to the other [=CPUs=] because of what happened during the Platform/{{SNESCDROM}}. Furethermore, Nintendo decided ''not'' to join the bandwagon of [=CDs=], and implemented ''strict'', almost KnightTemplar levels of guidelines for releasing games (the Seal of Quality, for example), but the decision had even worse expenses (cartridges would go for 70 USD each). Finally, one of the weirdest case examples of swearing? ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''.
** Ultradimension Vert: the original Xbox went public [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_(console)#History early 2000 at Game Developer's Conference]] somewhere close to the same time as the [=PS2=] had successful sales. Original development started in ''1998''. Microsoft also wanted to focus on Japan due to [[FollowTheLeader successful video game sales there]].

* HypocriticalHumor: Though it might go unnoticed, Neptune told Compa that a character wielding a giant weapon is cliche...and yet her weapon as Purple Heart is a giant katana. Later on, Neptune herself can also yield swords twice her own size.

* CatchPhrase: Usually a variation of "Only does everything", which is a reference to how the [=PS3=] was advertised. It's worth mentioning that as the games went on, [[AbandonedCatchphrase she never says this phrase ever again]].

* LaserBlade: Her weapon in NEXT Form.

* DoesNotLikeMen:
** When [[spoiler:Anonydeath showed up outside of his armor masquerading as Peashy's father, everyone besides Noire and Blanc found him cute, and Noire had to remind everyone that he is a ''man'']]. She also responds "men are the worst" when she hears that Tekken was harassed by men that she beat at the arcade.
** The only moment she showed some interest in men was in the non-canon CD ''If A Goddess Was Your Wife CD Track 02 - Noire''. which doesn't take place in any universe since [[WordOfGod Tsunako clarified in one of her 4-komas that it's just the goddesses roleplaying as if they were married]] so she actually have never show any interest in the opposite gender.

* MistakenForSpies: In ''Super Neptunia RPG'', [[spoiler: while searching the Ancient Archive in Lowee, she gets captured and is seen as a spy for the Resistance]].

* ClusterFBomb: She can be prone to these from time to time. [[spoiler:She hilariously wins the Q&A contest between her and fake Blanc precisely because of this. She also gets mad at Financier for asking embarrassing questions about her novel writing, which fake Blanc revealed to them earlier.]]

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:During the Conquest Ending. After getting run through with the demon sword, she smiles and comments on how it hurts less than she expected, before breathing her last.]]

* TalkToTheFist: When she finally has enough of [[CorruptPolitician Azna=Leb's]] talking, she decks him in the face. [[spoiler:She also does it to the possessed C-Sha to snap her out of it.]]

* BreakTheHaughty: She challenges Neptune, Noire and Plutia to a televised 3-on-1 to prove herself as the only worthwhile CPU. What instead goes public is her losing the battle, and consequently Lowee's faith, her CPU powers, and [[spoiler:Lowee itself as Mister Badd overthrows her. When Noire rubs in how her arrogance caused all this, she finally bursts into tears.]]

* DefeatEqualsFriendship:[[spoiler: Summed up by Iris Heart easily when they're in prison after defeating Blanc due to Mister Badd, although this might just be Putia's way of making up to her over the humiliation of being defeated in combat on live TV that essentially stripped her of all her faith and forcibly reverting her into a powerless girl.]]
--> '''Iris Heart:''' [[spoiler: Let me get to my point. We will be your friends.]]

* DoesNotLikeMen: Blanc gives off this vibe when [[spoiler:she sees Plutia holding the baby IF, Compa, and Peashy]], saying she "hadn't detected the stench of a man" the last time she was there (though she'd only used the word "presence" in the Japanese version). Considering that [[spoiler:the only man she's seen to have ever dealt with stabbed her in the back and stole her country from her]], you can't blame her. Then again, when RED all but proposes to her, Blanc says she doesn't mind either way.
-->'''Blanc:''' I don't care. It kind of soothes my soul to be called someone's wife, male or female.

* HypocriticalHumor: Blanc says Noire has a short fuse... while simply looking at Blanc funny can piss ''her'' off.

** Blanc's petite figure and small breasts, which stay the same in HDD, is a sore spot, especially when teased by Vert. Can actually double as a reference to how Nintendo is frequently derided as kiddie trash, while the Playstation and [=XBox=] counterparts are more heavily stacked (''especially'' the [=XBox=]) since they're the more "cool and mature" consoles.

** ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', not as Noire, but Black Heart seems to enjoy showing her moves a lot. Not only that, Black Heart is shown to have the most fun when fighting in comparison to the other three [=CPUs=], and she is the only one of the four who is laughing during battles. And she does that a lot.
** While her White Heart form plays this straight, it's averted (by statement of admission) as Blanc, who claims to prefer negotiation to fighting.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood:

* MythologyGag: This Blanc is more antagonistic to the other [=CPUs=] because of what happened during the Platform/{{SNESCDROM}}. Furethermore, Nintendo decided ''not'' to join the bandwagon of [=CDs=], and implemented ''strict'', almost KnightTemplar levels of guidelines for releasing games (the Seal of Quality, for example), but the decision had even worse expenses (cartridges would go for 70 USD each). Finally, one of the weirdest case examples of swearing? ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''.

* CowardlyLion: After [[spoiler:losing her powers]], she hides in her room and plays games all day, despite swiftly proving she was perfectly able to help herself when the party gets involved. [[spoiler:When Arfoire [[BreakThemByTalking calls her on this]] at the climax, she [[ShutUpHannibal calmly admits its true]], but [[CharacterDevelopment has resolved to not be so weak again]].]]

* GenreSavvy: Comes with being an avid gamer in-universe. After being chased away by Blanc/Lady White Heart, they met with the leader of the rebels against Lady White Heart [[spoiler:who is none other than Blanc herself. While everyone else was confused, she immediately knew that the one they are speaking to is the REAL Blanc/Lady White Heart and the one they met before was a fake. A plot-twist that most seasoned gamers would recognize.]]

* DisproportionateRetribution: The reason why she wants to kill Yellow Heart? The latter has a bigger rack than her. [[ACupAngst Blanc]] also follows suit, albeit for a different reason.

* MythologyGag: The original Xbox went public [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_(console)#History early 2000 at Game Developer's Conference]] somewhere close to the same time as the [=PS2=] had successful sales. Original development started in ''1998''. Microsoft also wanted to focus on Japan due to [[FollowTheLeader successful video game sales there]].

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the normal endings, the four goddesses sacrifice their lives to destroy Arfoire for good. However, [[SurprisinglyHappyEnding after Nepgear finishes her speech, the four goddesses turn out to be A-OK]]]].

* LittleMissAlmighty: All of the goddesses done the appearances of young girls, adolescent teenagers, or older women who look like they're reaching their mid 20s.

* ACupAngst: While Neptune normally doesn't mind her flat chest, likely because she's perfectly aware of [[SheIsAllGrownUp how she looks while in HDD]], there are moments where she acts like this.

--> '''Neptune''': *mumble, grumble* I'll raisin your face...
** In ''VII'', she is shown to be quite relieved when she sees that her physically older Ultradimension counterpart grew in both height and bust size.

* LadyOfWar: While Neptune is a total goofball, Purple Heart is much more mature, and wields her katana with skill and grace.

* FastballSpecial: [[spoiler:Neptune gets tossed by the three goddesses towards Nepgear in one of the endings.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: In ''Sisters'', when Arfoire revived in the PC Continent, she decides to fight her alone so the other three [=CPUs=] can evacuate citizens before the spacetime rift consumes everything. She never came back, and was presumed to have been swallowed by the rift along with Arfoire. [[spoiler:She was actually saved by Gray Sister, but then gets captured by Arfoire while asleep in the sealing device.]]

* CosplayOtakuGirl: She designs her own clothing, some of which is admittedly meant to be reminiscent of something or someone else. The default design is by her own admission what she imagined a CPU would wear before she ever even became one. Her Face Visor outright says it's intended for cosplay, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial which she doesn't do or anything.]]

* BloodKnight: Not as Noire, but Black Heart seems to enjoy showing her moves a lot. Not only that, Black Heart is shown to have the most fun when fighting in comparison to the other three [=CPUs=], and she is the only one of the four who is laughing during battles. And she does that a lot.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Just like Neptune, Noire loves pudding. It gets to the point where Neptune and Noire have a contest where the prize is pudding.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: [[Sandbox/NeptuniaCharactersGoldThird K-Sha]] most certainly does, at least.
* HeroicSuicide: [[spoiler:In the Conquest Ending, once she gives up on trying to take Gehaburn from Nepgear, she simply tells Nepgear to hold the sword still... then impales herself, kicking off the bloodbath necessary to prepare Gehaburn for slaying Arfoire.]]
* KindHeartedCatLover: In ''VII'', she befriends a cat early on in her Hyperdimension G Arc that helps her out several times, such as tricking soldiers looking for her away by making them think it was the source of the noise they heard. K-Sha names it "Blanc", to both Noire and Uni's worry.

* ActorAllusion: The fact that MAGES. is able to push her buttons by calling her "Assistant" is due to Noire's [[Creator/AsamiImai Japanese voice actress]] also playing Kurisu Makise in ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate''.
* CosplayOtakuGirl: She designs her own clothing, some of which is admittedly meant to be reminiscent of something or someone else. The default design is by her own admission what she imagined a CPU would wear before she ever even became one. Her Face Visor outright says it's intended for cosplay, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial which she doesn't do or anything.]]

* ACupAngst: Her petite figure and small breasts, which stay the same in HDD, is a sore spot, especially when teased by Vert. Can actually double as a reference to how Nintendo is frequently derided as kiddie trash, while the Playstation and [=XBox=] counterparts are more heavily stacked (''especially'' the [=XBox=]) since they're the more "cool and mature" consoles.

* BloodKnight: While her White Heart form plays this straight, it's averted (by statement of admission) as Blanc, who claims to prefer negotiation to fighting.

* ActorAllusion: Japan-only. Shares the same weapon as [[VideoGame/CrossEdge Mikoto]]. Not to be confused with the other [[Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun Mikoto]], who shares the same [[Creator/RinaSato seiyuu]].

* LadyOfWar: Her calm personality, formal speech pattern, majestic appearance and strong offensive power makes her this.

-->''Neptune'': "Nepgear ain't never going to marry! I'm banning the idea forever!"

* TheStoic: As Purple Heart, she becomes serious and calm, though she has her moments.

* TheStoic: Blanc is normally calm and inexpressive, often serving as the more [[TheSpock logical member of the group]]... just as long as you don't make her mad.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: When she and Vert are trying to seduce the Lastation Basillicom Staff Member, Blanc uses it the "cute little sister" routine, calling him "Onii-chan". Of course, Vert mocks her later for her unexpected performance, with Blanc claiming that she read in a book that some men like that kind of girls.

%%* BerserkButton: She mentions one on her character info page.
%%--> I don't know who it was, but whoever invented the [[AntiPoopSocking fatigue system]] must [[FelonyMisdemeanor be just a world class terrorist]]. - doesn't explain why it upsets her
* CosplayOtakuGirl: [[spoiler:Forces Nepgear to wear her costumes in her ''mk2'' ending.]]

* MercyKill: [[spoiler:During the Conquest Ending route, she requests Nepgear to finish her off with the cursed sword since she has no hope of surviving after the beating Linda gives to her.]]

* OutOfCharacterMoment: In ''VII'', she shows moments of extreme clinginess for Nepgear, such as where she tries to claim her as her own little sister, that she didn't have in earlier games. In fact, this personality quirk of hers originated from her [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Ultradimension counterpart]]. Though it may be a nod to her ending in ''mk2'', where she considers adopting Nepgear as a sister.

* YankTheDogsChain: In ''Sisters'', Vert finally gets a "little sister" in Aneeta Job, a rogue AI turned Vtuber, and both are quite happy with the relationship. [[spoiler: The True Ending has Nepgear delete the entire timeline by way of a massive paradox with Aneeta and Ziri's help in order to stop Arfoire, meaning the two never met to start that relationship.]]

* OutOfCharacterMoment:
** Done intentionally in ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', when Blanc and Vert are trying to seduce the Lastation Basillicom Staff Member, Blanc uses the "cute little sister" routine, calling him "Onii-chan". Of course, Vert mocks her later for her unexpected performance, with Blanc claiming that she read in a book that some men like that kind of girls.

Though it may be a nod to her ending in ''mk2'', where she considers adopting Nepgear as a sister.

* TotallyRadical: She tends to use some 80s/90s slang such as "bad dude", her death cry of "I'm... outies...", and even "totally rad" at one point. She also has a tinge of ValleyGirl in her voice. [[FridgeBrilliance Keep in mind that]] [[JustifiedTrope she is supposed to represent]] Creator/{{SEGA}}, who were all about being TotallyRadical in the 90s.

Keep in mind that [[JustifiedTrope she is supposed to represent]] Creator/{{SEGA}}, [[JustifiedTrope who were all about being]] TotallyRadical in the 90's.

* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: This Noire's outfit exposes her stomach.

* TookALevelInKindness: Played with. This Noire is from an alternate universe, but she certainly is softer than the tsundere we know and love. Also lampshaded when [[spoiler:the two of them meet. Cue the entire cast concluding Ultradimension Noire is much more fun to be around]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: How Neptune sees her relationship with Blanc, much as both of them try to deny it. Considering this is [[TheGadfly Neptune]] and Blanc and Noire constantly argue whenever they're together, it's not surprising.

* VitriolicBestBuds: How Neptune sees her relationship with Noire, much as both of them try to deny it. Considering this is [[TheGadfly Neptune]] and Blanc and Noire constantly argue whenever they're together, it's not surprising.

* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Green Heart's abdomen is completely exposed, which alludes to the fact that she's a ShamelessFanserviceGirl.

* OneeSama: Nepgear points out that she is the one most like a big sister among the goddesses, and that it's rather ironic considering she actually has no real sisters. Vert explains that it's merely because [[CloudCuckoolandersMinder she had to keep the other three in line.]]

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Neptune just loves pudding. In ''Re;Birth 1'', pudding was the first thing Compa fed Neptune when they met, and the girl had never had it before. She'll even eat an Antidote if it's made in pudding form. In ''Cyberdimension'', [[spoiler:she shares one to Purple Heart in-game and her goddess self starts craving for more.]]

* AmnesiacHero: The first game and its remake starts with Neptune losing her memories after being bested by the three goddesses. At one point, Neptune refers to herself as one.

* AwesomeButImpractical: In ''Game Maker'', Little Neptune built a hybrid console/pudding maker. While it's certainly an interesting plan, being able to have a steady supply of a snack while gaming that you don't have to leave to go get, it is also incredibly unhygenic and gets pulled from stores almost immediately for being a health hazard. [[spoiler:So unlike the other Goddesses' consoles requiring the Pirate Makers' sabotage to get the Gold Third to interfere with their distribution, Neptune screwed things up all on her own]].

!!Ultradimension Neptune (Victory, VII, and Game Maker) '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)'''

* ImpossiblyLowNeckLine: Noire's dress. It does not malfunction. Probably because it's similar to a corsette.

* ImpossiblyLowNeckLine: Vert's dress. It might work because it is tight around her chest.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She loves tea, to the point of naming some of her attacks after various types of it.

* BreastExpansion: Whenever Neptune transforms into Purple Heart, her breasts go from A-cup to E-cup.

* VerbalTic: She often uses "Neppu!" as an exclamation when surprised.

* VerbalTic: Like Neptune, she yells "Nowa~!" when startled. It started with Ultradimension Noire, but was carried over to her Hyperdimension self in later installments.

* BreastExpansion: Her HDD makes her breast grow from F-cups to G-cups.

** In ''[=MegaTagmension=]'', she's a full on NiceGirl who is friendly to everyone she meets, not once teasing Blanc about her bust size (and when she does it's about her ''writing'') or chasing after the Candidates, in fact she goes along with their goals.

* FashionableAsymmetry: Her [[Platform/PlayStation4 Orbital-S]] Processor Unit.[[labelnote:Explanation]] Named for the system's codename Orbis[[/labelnote]]

* MeanBoss: Black Heart commands her soldiers in a rather harsh way.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: When she and Vert are trying to seduce the Lastation Basillicom Staff Member, Blanc uses it the "cute little sister" routine, calling him "Onii-chan". Of course, Vert mocks her later for her unexpected performance, with Blanc claiming that she read in a book that some men like that kind of girls.

* TheOlderImmortal: When it comes to the main Goddesses of the Ultradimension, Blanc is the oldest, having been a [=CPU=] for several centuries, while Vert, Plutia, and Noire have only been a CPU for a few years (bordering on decades). The audience and cast are constantly reminded of her age by her habit of referring to the other Goddesses as "brand-new baby [=CPUs=]", "newbie", or anything referring to how much younger than her they are. [[spoiler: Her age, however, is nothing compared to Rei...]]

** In ''[=MegaTagmension=]'', she's a full on NiceGirl who is friendly to everyone she meets, not once teasing Blanc about her bust size (and when she does it's about her ''writing'') or chasing after the Candidates.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: In ''VII'', she shows moments of extreme clinginess for Nepgear, such as where she tries to claim her as her own little sister, that she didn't have in earlier games. In fact, this personality quirk of hers originated from her [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Ultradimension counterpart]]. Though it may be a nod to her ending in ''mk2'', where she considers adopting Nepgear as a sister.

* TookALevelInJerkass: In ''Victory'', she comes off as much more lazy and selfish compared to her lazy but well-meaning depiction in the earlier games, being rather uncaring to Nepgear (even before they went to the Ultradimension) and openly rude to Noire, leading to the former [[WhatTheHellHero calling her out on her callous behavior towards her]]. However...

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold:
** Played with. She has blonde hair and is overall motherly and regal-like, but her blonde hair alludes more to the fact that she is a PhenotypeStereotype and is a notoriously haughty, perverted, [[SiblingsWanted sister-obsessed]] GamerChick. However, she ''does'' mean-well deep down, and would put her desires aside when the situation calls for it.
** Played straight with Superdimension Vert. Like her other incarnations, she is blonde, but her more negative traits are dialed back considerably and is instead presented as mature NiceGirl whose worst sin is being rather demanding when playing co-op. She even confesses that she doesn't actually care about the Console Wars, and only fights to keep her Shares up.

* ComedicLolicon: There are several scenes in ''VII'' that show her interest in the candidates, ''including'' [[TokenMiniMoe Rom and Ram]], isn't exactly platonic.
-->'''Vert:''' I can't stand this slightly immoral feeling exuding from those immature, soft bodies wrapped in those naughty, adult costumes!

* TookALevelInJerkass: Similar to Neptune in [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory the previous game]], ''VII'' Vert is significantly more self-centered and mean-spirited than in previous games. While she still retains her lady-like aspects, she is more than willing to prioritize her gaming over the safety of her citizens, is considerably more willing to bully [[ACupAngst Blanc]] about her chest at every opportunity she can find, and won't hesitate to force Nepgear into being her sister regardless of how the latter feels about that.

* ComedicLolicon: Just like in ''VII'', albeit aimed at Bouquet this time. Notably, there's a scene where Vert starts audibly drooling and panting at the idea of getting to spend time with Bouquet.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Played very much straight this time, as her occasional egotism and obsessiveness are considerably dialed back. Here, she's a NiceGirl with blonde hair who is polite to Neptune, Noire and Blanc when they first meet her.

-->'''Debut''': VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia

* InSeriesNickname: Has no less than '''5''' of them, the most of any character in the series, largely stemming from others finding her name hard to pronounce.
** Nep-Nep / Nepu-Nepu (Japanese) : Used by Compa and B-Sha
** Nep / Nepu-ko (Japanese) : Used by IF
** Neppy / Nep-chan (Japanese): Used by Plutia / Pururut
** Neptuna / Neputenu (Japanese) : Used by Peashy
** Nepsy / Nep-chi (Japanese): Used by Uzume

* AwesomeButImpractical: In ''Game Maker'', Little Neptune built a hybrid console/pudding maker. While it's certainly an interesting plan, being able to have a steady supply of a snack while gaming that you don't have to leave to go get, it is also incredibly unhygenic and gets pulled from stores almost immediately for being a health hazard. [[spoiler: So unlike the other Goddesses' consoles requiring the Pirate Makers' sabotage to get the Gold Third to interfere with their distribution, Neptune screwed things up all on her own]].

* HeroesPreferSwords: As expected of the one who openly declares herself the main character, she still sticks with a class that prefers swords in ''Cyberdimension'".

!!Ultradimension Neptune (Victory, VII, and Game Maker) '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']]

* EasilyForgiven: Sorta. Despite the trouble she caused througout the Hyperdimension G arc, Nepgear and the other Candidates save her from Arfoire, even before learning that she was a FakeDefector.

%%* WithFriendsLikeThese: Several of the generals in ''Hyperdevotion'' give this vibe.

!!Spin-offs:

* InSeriesNickname: Is labeled "Thunder Tits" by Blanc/White Heart.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Mr. Badd's plan to be rid of the goddesses [[spoiler:went perfectly. The only thing he couldn't foresee was that a goddess no one knew existed would bail them out.]]

!!Spin-offs:

* AlternateSelf: The Ultradimension timeline (i.e. [[Characters/NeptuniaOtherCPUs Plutia's]] world) versions of each of the goddesses, from Gamindustri in TheEighties, are their counterparts to the main goddesses we know in the main Hyperdimension timeline (i.e. Neptune's world). Neptune's counterpart goes further into being an entirely different person with the same color scheme and base personality. [[spoiler:Neptune's actual Ultradimension counterpart appears in TheStinger for the True End, and would later make her franchise debut in the [[VideoGame/MegaDimensionNeptuniaVII next canon game.]]]]

** Happens twice in ''Victory II''. [[spoiler:Affimojas [[ISurrenderSuckers pretends to surrender]] so he can slash them all with an anti-Share crystal, leaving them powerless hostages until [[BigDamnHeroes Gold Third arrive to give them a Hyper Share Crystal]]. Later, Kurome disguised as Uzume captures them with Dark Purple to brainwash them and empower the Dark [=CPUs=], so the remaining playable cast have to rescue them.]]

* DubNameChange: They're called Guardian Goddesses, or simply Goddesses, in the Japanese version, though the English version retains occasional mentions of godhood.

*** What's even more hilarious is that this very same manga later shows that [[LetsGetDangerous if Neptune ever gets serious]], she skips "[[ReasonableAuthorityFigure capable]]" and jumps straight to "[[TheAce hyper-competent]]", proving that Neptune is [[BrilliantButLazy brilliant but very, very lazy.]]

* HappyPlace: In ''VII'''s Heartdimension arc, [[spoiler:they're kidnapped by Kurome and subject to a LotusEaterMachine, which the other characters get to see due to how the Heartdimension works.]]

** Noire's idea of happiness is [[spoiler:to be a famous idol and voice actress who doesn't have to worry about the responsibilities of ruling a nation.]] [[BrokenPedestal Uni and K-Sha are not pleased to say the least]].
** Unsurprisingly, Blanc's idea of happiness involves [[spoiler: [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1480797 having a large pair of breasts]]]]. Rom and Ram's reaction is less than amused, thanks to Blanc [[ProudBeauty being a bit]] of a [[BigBreastPride prick about it]].
** Vert's idea of happiness? [[spoiler:Having siblings, as she is the only Hyperdimension [=CPU=] who doesn't have siblings since Microsoft has never made a handheld console to complement the Xbox family and compete with the Vita and 3DS. Additionally, her dream siblings are actually younger versions of herself, to the point where they're also named Vert. [[HiddenDepths This shows that she also wants the experience of being a younger sibling]] and helps to explain her fixation on Nepgear, who takes traits associated with both younger and older siblings as the situations with Neptune demand, since she usually takes the older sister role among the [=CPUs=]. It's also worth noting that her two hypothetical sisters look an awful lot like younger, blonde versions of Noire and Blanc, at least in terms of clothing.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the normal endings, the four goddesses sacrifice their lives to destroy Arfoire for good. However, [[SurprisinglyHappyEnding after Nepgear finishes her speech, the four goddesses turn out to be A-OK]].]]

* LittleMissAlmighty: Vert is physically the oldest, and even she doesn't look over 20.

* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In the True Ending, [[spoiler:Both Blanc and Vert think about the idea of giving one of the former's sisters to the latter.]]
* SuicideForOthersHappiness: During the Conquest Ending, [[spoiler:most of the CPU Candidates voluntarily let you kill them after their CPU sisters force Nepgear to kill them. Uni gets a special mention, as she says she wants to die because her older sister is already dead, so she has nothing left to live for except her sister's dying words of hope that Gamindustri can be saved, which requires that Uni allows herself to be killed by Nepgear. Neptune plays this straight, smiling and stating simply that Nepgear has to kill her or all of their efforts until then will be for nothing.]]

* AmnesiacGod: After she falls from Celestia, she's left completely unaware of her identity as Purple Heart. Neptune remembers only her own name (and a few assorted foods), as well as how to fight, but nothing else. [[spoiler:In ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', she decides to stay an amnesiac because regaining her memories could make her regain the feelings she previously had towards the other Goddesses. In the original, however, she regains her memories and this allows her to remember the truth about why it all started. She stays pretty much the same though.]]

* TakeAThirdOption: Neptune does this as a result of losing her memory. Histoire offers to return it, but she decides not to, as she's gotten friendly with quite a few people with her new personality, and would rather not go back to her former self. [[spoiler:She also does this when the other goddesses are debating the Deep Fry debate in chapter 8. None of them like her stance, and declare "war" on her as well.]]

* AloofBigSister: In ''Victory'', for the most part, she doesn't seem to care what happens to Nepgear anymore. From everyone making fun of her, to Iris Heart torturing her ''right in front of everyone'', even thinking its a suitable punishment, after Nepgear fought against her alongside Vert because the latter was actually giving her some sisterly attention. The Good Ending even has her [[spoiler: leaving Nepgear in the Ultradimension when she makes it back to the Hyperdimension and just spending her time sleeping with Plutia, taking a while to remember that Nepgear is trapped in the past.]] However, there are also several instances where she shows [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone genuine regret over her treatment of Nepgear]].

* TooDumbToLive: According to the other [=CPUs=] anyway. When she starts to wonder where the Ultradimension Neptune is at they point out that, if the Ultradimension Neptune had the same general personality as the Hyperdimension Neptune, she has very likely ended up starving herself to death or worse without the immortality from being a CPU. [[spoiler: Hilariously enough, Ultradimension Neptune is not only alive and well in TheStinger of the True Ending. Not to mention, as ''VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII'' reveals, she's the one who gets to solve the final problem about [[ForTheEvulz Croire]] without even knowing what was going on and just wanted to show it off to her friends in that dimension when she caught her.]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: In ''Game Maker'', Little Neptune built a hybrid console/pudding maker. While it's certainly an interesting plan, being able to have a steady supply of a snack while gaming that you don't have to leave to go get, it is also incredibly unhygenic and gets pulled from stores almost immediately for being a health hazard. [[spoiler: So unlike the other Goddesses' consoles requiring the Pirate Makers' sabotage to get the Gold Third to interfere with their distribution, Neptune screwed things up all on her own.]]

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Has an opportunity to finish off an amnesiac Neptune, and even considers it for a moment. She discards the idea quickly as such a thing is beneath her. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation While she is sincere in having a "friendly" challenge against Neptune rather than wanting to outright kill her, if the player loses it is still a game over.]]

* TookALevelInKindness: Played with. This Noire is from an alternate universe, but she certainly is softer than the tsundere we know and love. Also lampshaded when [[spoiler:the two of them meet. Cue the entire cast concluding Ultradimension Noire is much more fun to be around.]]

* MistakenForSpies: In ''Super Neptunia RPG'', [[spoiler: while searching the Ancient Archive in Lowee, she gets captured and is seen as a spy for the Resistance.]]

** ''[=Re;Birth1=]'' dials back their more negative traits from the first game (and by extension ''Victory'', where they're much more mean-spirited with Neptune [[TookALevelInJerkass becoming far more ungrateful to Nepgear]]), making them all the more likable while still keeping their basic personalities:
*** Neptune is more actively heroic, shows a more caring side to her friends and helping them in need, and treats Nepgear much better. This behavior [[RetCanon would be carried over]] to ''VII''.
*** Noire is less standoffish, lacks her ItsAllAboutMe attitude, and is shown (mostly) tolerating Neptune's behavior.
*** Blanc is more social, as though she does see Neptune as a nuisance, she is able to get along with her just fine, whereas in the original game she spent most of the Lowee segment acting belligerent to and pursuing Neptune and co., hellbent on killing them. She also genuinely cares for her citizens to almost MamaBear levels and has a particular soft spot for Financier; the original Blanc would often chastise Financier for doing her job. Even in her White Heart form, she sincerely thanks [[spoiler:MAGES.]] for saving them in their fight with Ganache.
*** Vert's CoolBigSis traits are put in the forefront, acting much more friendlier and mature than she did in previous and later games even at her best, and while she still teases Blanc about her chest, she's less high-and-mighty about it.
