* GoodPowersBadPeople: Let's be completely blunt: the power to [[spoiler:turn a witch back into a magical girl ''at will'']] is something the protagonists and many villains across the franchise would sacrifice just about ''anything'' for. A shame that it's in the hands of complete villain who's not interested in using that power in any wholesome way outside of her own benefit.
* LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler:A magical girl is destined to someday turn into a witch if she doesn't get her Soul Gem destroyed. So what happens when a magical girl's wish involves turning a witch back human? She gets the equivalent of an auto-revive for herself if she ever becomes a witch.]]



* PerpetualMotionMonster: [[spoiler:Because her power of changing witches back into magical girl, she practically can't be stopped even when tainting her Soul Gem beyond limit. She full-blown takes advantage of that one quirk in battle by being the one with most endurance when it comes to magic. Thus, Riz is forced to sacrifice herself to drag Lapin into an endless darkness and seal her there forever.]]

* PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler: She succeeded to execute Tart, but she loses her sisters from her machination, her beloved mother dies and her goals are thwarted, Tart is still revered as a saint to this day, and she loses her power on the top of that. Minou exits the story a broken woman, only capable of crying quietly beside Isabeau's corpse, and is not being remembered by anyone.]]

* LightningBruiser: Looking at her official magic chart in the manga, Corbeau has above average stats in all categories, especially offense, defense, and speed. This makes her a legitimate threat in the battlefield as she can make short work of French soldiers and other magical girls very quickly and brutally, and is very tough to take down in general.

Added DiffLines:

* MightyGlacier: Looking at her official magic chart in the manga, Tart has impressive offensive and defensive stats as well as a vast amount of innate magic reserves, but has below average speed and has trouble keeping up with more speedy enemies like Corbeau. She can usually one shot most Witches with ease and tank a couple of powerful magic shots before becoming severely wounded.


Added DiffLines:

* FragileSpeedster: Looking at her official magic chart in the manga, Riz boasts some incredible speed stats and average offensive power, but is severely lacking in defensive capabilities. This means that, while Riz can overwhelm her enemies with her speed, she can't afford to take a hit in battle and must rely on dodging attacks.

The Woman Who Sold Her Country. Isabeau is Prince Charles' mother and the main villain of the story. She was approached by Kyubey before her marriage, and she had many questions for him before deciding on her wish; to gain everything the Incubators possessed. This turned her into a magical girl-Incubator hybrid that was able to contract other magical girls and gain vast amounts of power from them. She planned to conquer all of France with a magical girl army, but she failed to ask whether Incubators could purify Soul Gems and so accidentally used up too much magical power, transforming into a witch. However, one of her wards, Lapin, wished to her witch to return her to her previous self. This turned her into a dangerous witch-Incubator hybrid that retained a human's intelligence but the malice and hatred of a witch.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Tart is utterly pure, sinless, and virtuous. Whenever her Soul Gem clouds, it's because of the sheer amount of magic she uses, not out of despair. In fact, she seems completely resistant to Kyubey's usual despair-inducing tactics. When she finds out that Soul Gems are literal souls, [[http://silvermoon424.tumblr.com/post/148210320778/joan-of-arc-aka-tart-is-the-best-magical-girl she amusingly gushes over how it proves that Kyubey is a angel]] because he can crystalize the very souls that were saved by Jesus Christ.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Defends Melissa from an attack by Corbeau and Fléche. She gets revived by Melissa's wish.]]

to:

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Defends GlacierWaif: Because she has a very AwesomeButImpractical energy usage as an attacker, she's mostly trained to fight a defensive battle. After training, it turns out Tart can tanks damage that killed her previously.
* HeroicSacrifice:
** [[spoiler:Defends
Melissa from an attack by Corbeau and Fléche. She gets revived by Melissa's wish.]]]]
** [[spoiler:It turns out that her execution is basically this; Tart has becomes something that is not a magical girl nor a witch because of Riz' wish and last actions, and she holds on her transformation into a witch for a long time to finally strike Isabeau down. However, she can't hold it for too long, deliberately walks away with the English army to be executed to finally die without turning into a witch, as the witch of a magical girl who struck down the witch who engulfed France would be even worse than her - potentially devouring the entire Europe.]]
* HopeBringer: Her appearance causes instant morale boost for the French army. Those who hero-worship her are avenging her death in their own ways against those who murder her, however indirectly.



* CastingAShadow: Her power is manipulation of shadow, of which she can freely use as ShadowPin, CombatTentacles, {{Hammerspace}}, or [[spoiler:enhancing Tart's power because her wish makes her the 'shadow' to Tart's 'light', and taller the shadow means brighter the light]].



* FailureKnight: [[spoiler:Her wish to find a hero that will save the world caused her to WalkingTheEarth searching for any girl with potential prior meeting Tart. She failed several times, leaving a trail of dead magical girls who died trying to be a hero.]]



* TheStrategist: Just look at the girls' second fight against Corbeau. Riz basically identifies Corbeau's power, calculates her power's limitation, renders that power impotent and arranges a counter attack by exploiting the "100 meters distance between the Soul Gem and the body" rule, all while after only pulling her friends for a brief moment of strategic retreat.
