* KnightTemplarBigSister: Believe it or not how we see Nine in Franchise/BlazBlue is actually an improvement compared to how she is now. She is so paranoid that she believes that literally everyone who even knows about Little Sister will try to kidnap her, that Me refuses to even let Little Sister go outside and tries to attack Nobody despite her saying she will lead Me to her.

* ArtifactOfDoom: Subverted. [[spoiler:While her eye is the Original Grimoire, it is only a weaker replica that only has the power to absorb and store seithr with no connection to the Black Beast]].

* EnergyAbsorption: [[spoiler:Her imitation Original Grimoire can absorb the seithr around her and absorbs the Memory Fragments over the course of the game]].
* ExoticEyeDesigns: [[spoiler:Her Original Grimoire eye has black sclera and the pupil is a [[RedEyesTakeWarning large red X]]]].
* EyepatchOfPower: She wears a large black eyepatch over her left eye. [[spoiler: It is actually a PowerLimiter that prevents her Original Grimoire from absorbing too much seithr]].
* FetusTerrible: [[spoiler:She has always the ability to attract seithr towards herself, even when she was still in her mother's womb. The Original Grimoire replica is used to counteract that.]]

* MagicalEye: [[spoiler:Her left eye is a replica of the Original Grimoire. Her father created it and implanted it in her so that it could safely absorb the seithr she naturally attracts to herself. This Grimoire saved both her and her mother when she was in utero from dying of seithr poisoning due to Me’s ability. Like Touya’s Grimoire it can used the stored seithr to activate [=XBlaze=]]].

* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler:She cannot control her seithr attraction and nearly killed her mother in utero because of this. By the time of ''Lost: Memories'' she still can’t turn it off and therefore can never stop her Original Grimoire from absorbing the seithr, even when the vast quantity of it in the Phantom Field is too much and causes her intense pain]].
* PowerLimiter: [[spoiler:Her [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] limits her how much seithr her Original Grimoire absorbs to prevent it from overloading. Me has to remove it to activate her [=XBlaze=]. It is unclear if she still needs it at the end of the game since she is wearing it in the ending [=CGs=] but not in the post-credits scene]].

* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:Her left eye as a result of it being a replica Original Grimoire. It can only be seen when she unleashes the full power of her [=XBlaze=]]].

* {{Synchronization}}: Because [[spoiler:her Original Grimoire absorbs the Memory Fragments]], Me is able to experience all of Es’s emotions when she views her memories. Me’s empathy with Es’s developing feelings of love and friendship allows her to open up to others as well.

* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:He worked tirelessly to find a way to save his wife and unborn daughter and eventually succeeded by creating a replica of the Original Grimoire.]]

* GuineaPigFamily: He experimented on his wife’s corpse immediately after she died and gave Me her seithr-absorbing eye. [[spoiler:That second one is a rare positive example since implanting the Original Grimoire into Me save both her and Mother’s lives.]]

* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:He refuses to believe that he was responsible for his wife’s death by not finishing the Original Grimoire in time. This pushes him to perform darker experiments.]]

* YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler:While he did save Mother and Me’s lives with the Original Grimoire, Mother had already suffered severe seithr poisoning by that point. This left her too weak to handle a second childbirth, leading to her death since she refused to save herself at the cost of her daughter.]]

-> A small doll with sentience that belonged to Ripper before his death. Now Kiri holds it and considers it his OnlyFriend. In truth, he is Ripper; or rather he is a doll possessed by Ripper’s soul. When the Magic Guild resurrected Ripper’s corpse, for some unknown reason a new personality, who become Kiri, was born inside it and Ripper’s soul was pushed out, forcing him to possess the Brain Cat doll to survive. He wants to reclaim his body, manipulating Kiri’s sense of justice to gather enough seithr for him to perform the fusion. After Kiri goes berserk and drains half the seithr from Touya and the Original Grimoire, Brain Cat succeeds in returning to his body and hijacks control from Kiri, becoming Freaks.

* GrandTheftMe: When Kiri [[ManaDrain drains the seithr from Touya’s Original Grimoire]] he lefts his soul get absorbed into his Crystal as well, taking over Kiri’s body and becoming Freaks.

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:To Brain Cat. He is convinced that by killing “the bad guys” he can regain his lost memories and become a hero loved by everyone. Brain Cat also tricks him into attacking Touya, despite learning that he is the most important person to Es, by saying that she is being deceived and Kiri needs to protect her from him. This leads to him draining Touya’s Original Grimoire so that Brain Cat can reclaim his body]].

->The BigBad of ''Lost: Memories''. The result of Ripper’s soul hijacking Kiri’s body after draining half of the seithr from the Original Grimoire, Freaks is the true resurrection of Ripper. Possessing the same sadistic personality but with the added power of the Original Grimoire, he is far more dangerous than Ripper ever was. Using his newfound powers Freaks was able to kill Touya, Kuon, Mei and Elise in the timeline without Es, no matter how times the events repeated.

* CameBackStrong: He revived by absorbing half of the seithr in the Original Grimoire, which is more than enough to regain his full power that Touya stole from him and also lets him use a form of [=XBlaze=].
* CastingAShadow: After draining half of Touya's seither he gained the power of the Original Grimore, which manifests in a similar form to Restriction Release (Soul Eater).

* LightningBruiser: Just like Ripper only worse since the power of the Original Grimoire makes him even stronger, faster and significantly more durable.
* MadeOfIron: The seithr from the Original Grimoire has made him much tougher able to survive being hit by powerful spells like Mei’s [[ShockAndAwe Raijyu Shourai]] and Kuon’s [[PlayingWithFire Flamme lichtstrahl]] with the only effect being that he says they actually hurt a little bit. Even Kuon and Elise’s most powerful attack, [[CombinationAttack Soul]] [[DeathFromAbove Direction]] is only able to do a little bit of damage to him. Unfortunately for him this only applies to his body. His Crystal is just as vulnerable to the Murakumo and its [[BloodyMurder blood replica]] as any other.
* ManaDrain: Like Kiri, he can drain seithr by biting someone, storing it in his Crystal. He uses this on Touya after surviving Kuon and Elise’s [[DeathFromAbove Soul Direction]], draining enough power from the Original Grimoire to use his own [=XBlaze=].

* PowerParasite: Absorbing the seithr from Touya’s Original Grimoire also gives him some of the power of the Grimoire itself in the form of his own [=XBlaze=].

* {{Sadist}}: Because some things never change. The only chance he really gets to show it is when he stabs Touya multiple times while taunting Kuon before [[ManaDrain biting him to drain the Original Grimoire]].

* SmugSuper: More so than before thanks to the power of the Original Grimoire. He flat out calls himself invincible.
* SoulJar: Because Ripper’s soul entered Kiri’s body via the seithr Kiri absorbed from Touya’s Original Grimoire, his soul is inside of his Crystal. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard This ends up being his downfall]], since destroying his crystal destroys his soul as well.

-> A young girl who will grow up to become Nine of the Six Heroes. She lives in the Magister's City: Ishana with her little sister (referred to as Imouto in the story). Watashi loves her sister very dearly and has taken up raising her and protecting her but is angry and violent to everyone else. She loathes her father, who used her and her mother as guinea pigs in his experiments.

-> After getting sucked into the Phantom Field and separated from Imouto, she forgets her name and meets Nobody. In order to find her missing sister, Watashi traverses the Phantom Field in search of the Memory Fragments that will let her reach Imouto at the lowest level of the Phantom Field.

* BigSisterInstinct: She will do anything and everything to protect Imouto.

* BreakTheCutie: Seeing her mother die and her father coldly take her away to experiment on her turned Watashi from a sweet and kind little girl into the angry loner that cares for nobody but her sister.
* TheCameo: If Amane's Astral Heat is used on Nine, she turns back into Watashi.
* CanonName: While she is a case of HelloInsertNameHere in game, her official name (or at least what she is officially called in this game) is Watashi. Of course her true canon name is Konoe, but [[DevelopersForesight the game doesn't let you use that name for her.]]

* DecoyProtagonist: She is both the focal and playable character for the first half of the game but after [[spoiler:she and Imouto are thrown out of the Phantom Field]] it becomes clear that [[spoiler:Nobody/Es, who has both been traveling with Watashi and been the focus of the Memory Fragments Watashi viewed, is the true protagonist of the story. Watashi then returns Es to the [=XBlaze=] timeline and isn’t seen again until the end of the game]].

* DisappearedDad: Her father left to continue his research shortly after Imouto was born. [[spoiler:He comes back to visit them at the end of the game but it evidently didn’t go well since they are still estranged by the time of ''Phase Shift'']].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: If you try and input Nine as Watashi’s name, you get the message "It isn't quite time yet...".

* HelloInsertNameHere: Initially Watashi has no name above her dialogue. Upon getting to the Phantom Field she forgets her name and Nobody tells her she has to give herself one or else she will start to lose all of her memories, at which point the player can choose one. However certain names, specifically those related to her real name, are rejected in various ways. For Phantom and various names related to Mercury it will forcibly cut off your input (turning Phantom into Phant) while others have specific error messages.

* IWorkAlone: She refuses to accept help from anyone and insists she can take care of Imouto herself, even assuming that everyone else is actually trying to kidnap Imouto because of her [[spoiler:ability to suppress seithr]]. After she gives up on attacking Nobody Watashi tries to ditch her despite Nobody offering to guide her through the Phantom Field.
* IneffectualLoner: Because of her father’s [[spoiler:perceived]] betrayal, she refuses to trust anyone else and believe that she and she alone can and should take care of Imouto.

* {{Jerkass}}: She is not nice to Nobody at all. Despite Nobody only wanting to help her, Watashi constantly shouts at her, insults her, tries to ditch her and even tries to attack her as soon as they meet because apparently to Watashi [[InsaneTrollLogic the fact that Nobody knew about and spoke to Imouto meant that Nobody had to have kidnapped her]].
* JustAKid: How she thinks of Imouto because of her overprotectiveness. Watashi doesn’t even trust her to go to the store on her own or cook dinner and flat out says ''she won't let Imouto do absolutely anything on her own ever''.
* KnightTemplarBigSister: Believe it or not how we see Nine in Franchise/BlazBlue is actually an improvement compared to how she is now. She is so paranoid that she believes that literally everyone who even knows about Imouto will try to kidnap her, that Watashi refuses to even let Imouto go outside and tries to attack Nobody despite her saying she will lead Watashi to her.

* MagicalEye: [[spoiler:Her left eye is a replica of the Original Grimoire. Her father created it and implanted it in her so that it could safely absorb the seithr she naturally attracts to herself. This Grimoire saved both her and her mother when she was in utero from dying of seithr poisoning due to Watashi’s ability. Like Touya’s Grimoire it can used the stored seithr to activate [=XBlaze=]]].
* MissingMom: Her mother [[DeathByChildbirth died while giving birth to Imouto]] [[spoiler:because the seithr poisoning Watashi inflicted left her too weak to handle a second pregnancy]].
* NoSocialSkills: Due to her refusal to trust anyone resulting in a mostly reclusive life, she barely interacted with anyone besides Imouto and is unable to talk to anyone else without [[{{Jerkass}} constantly insulting and shouting at them]]. She has improved significantly by the end of the game.
* OnlyFriend: Nobody due to her being Watashi’s first friend.

* PowerLimiter: [[spoiler:Her [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] limits her how much seithr her Original Grimoire absorbs to prevent it from overloading. Watashi has to remove it to activate her [=XBlaze=]. It is unclear if she still needs it at the end of the game since she is wearing it in the ending [=CGs=] but not in the post-credits scene]].
* ThePromise: Her mother’s LastRequest was for Watashi to always look after and protect her little sister. Watashi takes this promise [[BigBrotherInstinct very]] [[KnightTemplarBigBrother seriously]].
* PromotionToParent: After her mother dies and her father abandons them to continue his research, she steps up to raise Imouto.

* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: Because she devoted herself entirely to protecting Imouto, she doesn’t even attend school at the Magic Guild. She uses this time to practice magic on her own and becomes incredibly proficient with it. However this meant she had no interaction with anyone else and developed [[NoSocialSkills No Social Skill]] as a result.

* {{Synchronization}}: Because [[spoiler:her Original Grimoire absorbs the Memory Fragments]], Watashi is able to experience all of Es’s emotions when she views her memories. Watashi’s empathy with Es’s developing feelings of love and friendship allows her to open up to others as well.

* {{Tsundere}}: She is incredibly kind and caring, if a bit condescending, to Imouto. Towards everyone else she is she is a violent and angry {{Jerkass}}.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: From what little we see, before [[BreakTheCutie seeing her mother die and her father perform experiments on her]] she was just as innocent and kind as Imouto is.

-> A mysterious girl who has lived in the Phantom Field for as long as she can remember. Nobody claims to have no memory but somehow knows all of the Phantom Field’s strange properties. She is perpetually happy and always wanting to have fun, especially having a fondness for riddles and puzzles. When she meets Watashi, she offers her the chance to find her sister, Imouto, by guiding her to the bottom of the Phantom Field. As she and Watashi travel together the two become each other's first and most precious friend.

%%->Her true identity is Es, or rather the Embryo. After Es fell into despair and crystalized her memories into Memory Fragments, Nobody was born as a personification of the Embryo. She is forced to stay in the Phantom Field to prevent the Embryo from distorting the world. With the help of Watashi, she is able to use the power of the Embryo to create a human body for Es and send it to the real world with Es’s memories, but sacrificing her own Phantom Memories in the process.

* CloudCuckoolander: She is very... odd to say the least. She doesn’t seem to get that Watashi is trying to get away from her so she drives Watashi insane when she keeps following and she often forgets important things.
* CryCute: She cries after [[spoiler:Watashi and Imouto leave the Phantom Field and she is alone again]], when [[spoiler:she explains to Watashi how Es fell into despair and how hopeless her situation is]] and when [[spoiler: she gives up her Phantom Memories to power the [=XBlaze=] and has to forget her most cherished friend]].

* GenkiGirl: Is happy and full of energy all the time, much to Watashi’s constant annoyance.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Although she didn’t fully realize until Watashi and Imouto enter the Phantom Field, she is very lonely and wants to have friends she can play with.

* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler:Nobody is what is left behind after Es purges herself of her memories after crossing the DespairEventHorizon. She is essentially just the Embryo in human form. They do, however, [[SplitPersonalityMerge merge in the end with Watashi's help]]]].
* LoveHurts: [[spoiler:She was literally born because of this. After Watashi returns to the Phantom Field she says that she prepared herself to always live alone since she cannot return to Touya and tells Watashi to leave since her being there only makes it more difficult and painful to return to being alone]].

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She has tendency to pop up right in front of Watashi’s face.

* RiddleMeThis: She likes riddles and will give Watashi one at the end of each floor of the Phantom Field. She says she developed her fondness for riddles and puzzles to keep herself entertained. [[spoiler:When she pushes Watashi and Imouto into the Phantom Field’s exit she gives Watashi one last riddle. “Who am I”?]]

* TheSoulless: Played with, much like Nobodies of ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''. [[spoiler:Es scattered her own memories in the form of Memory Fragments, leaving behind Nobody, who, while still having Es' soul, becomes an entirely new being without Es’s memories. Like KH's Nobodies, who grew a heart over time, this Nobody also gets her own “Phantom Memories” from her experiences as her own person. Later on, Watashi creates a new body for Es using the power stored in her Phantom Memories and transferred her now memory free soul into the new body along with Es' memories. Es is able to regain these memories when she uses their power to activate her Phantom Memory: [=XBlaze=]]].
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:She hides the fact that she knows about her past as Es and the heartbreak she had behind a cheerful demeanor and peppy actions. Even though she knows she can’t leave the Phantom Field she happily expresses her desire to eat pudding and go to a pool and even when she pushes Watashi and Imouto out of the Phantom Field she gives her last riddle with a smile]].

-> A young Celica A. Mercury. Imouto lives in the Magister’s City: Ishana with her older sister Watashi. She is a sweet young girl who looks up to and respects her older sister but does not like how overprotective Watashi is of her and desires more freedom. When the two of them get transported to the Phantom Field she wakes up in the lowest level and meets Nobody who gives her a name and then goes to bring Watashi to her.

* AdvertisedExtra: She is advertised as being one of the main and most prominent characters but Watashi spends most of the game just searching for her and shortly after they reunite [[spoiler:Es takes over as the main protagonist and focus shifts to the main [=XBlaze=] timeline]].
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Having Watashi traverse the Phantom Field to find her was her idea. Upon meeting Nobody and seeing the Memory Fragments about her father, Imouto realizes that even if Watashi saw them she wouldn’t believe it and assume it was a lie. She stays at the bottom of the Phantom Field and sends Nobody to guide Watashi to her so that Watashi has to experience Es’s memories and will therefore believe the memories about her father]].
* BigBrotherWorship: Big sister in this case; she idolizes her older sister and wants to be be as reliable and hard working as her although that doesn’t stop her from being upset that Watashi treats her like a helpless child.
* TheCameo: In ''Franchise/BlazBlue'' ''CP'' and ''CF'', Celica turns into Imouto if Amane's Astral Heat is used on her.

* DamselInDistress: Subverted. Watashi believes she is this when they are separated (and assumes Nobody is the one responsible) but Nobody says that she is safe on the lowest level of the Phantom Field and since Nobody gave her a name, she is not at risk of losing her memory. When they finally reunite she is completely fine just like Nobody said.

* LivingMacguffin: What Watashi thinks she is. Because of [[spoiler:her ability to suppress seithr]] Watashi assumes that any mage who learns about her will kidnap her to perform experiments on.

* {{Protectorate}}: For Watashi. Imouto doesn’t like how far Watashi goes because of this, especially that she won’t let her go outside.
* SiblingYinYang: While Watashi is brash and violent, Imouto is innocent and gentle. [[spoiler:Whereas Watashi attracts seithr, Imouto neutralizes it]].

->Watashi and Imouto’s dad. After his wife died he took her body to perform experiments on. He later left his daughters in order to continue his research. As a result Watashi hates him.

* ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler:We know that, despite Watashi’s efforts, the two will not reconcile with each other because Nine still hates her father by the time of ''Franchise/BlazBlue''.]]
* GuineaPigFamily: He experimented on his wife’s corpse immediately after she died and gave Watashi her seithr-absorbing eye. [[spoiler:That second one is a rare positive example since implanting the Original Grimoire into Watashi save both her and Mother’s lives.]]

* ParentalAbandonment: After his wife died he left Watashi and Imouto on their own to continue his experiments. [[spoiler:He returns at the end of ''Lost Memories''.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: It’s hard to talk about his role in the story because his main appearance [[spoiler:reveals that he was actually a good father, how far he went to save his family and how he became the man Watashi hated.]]
* {{Workaholic}}: [[spoiler:He worked tirelessly in order to save Mother and Watashi, barely sleeping for weeks. After Mother’s death he devoted himself entirely to his research, abandoning his daughters in the process.]]
* YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler:While he did save Mother and Watashi’s lives with the Original Grimoire, Mother had already suffered severe seithr poisoning by that point. This left her too weak to handle a second childbirth, leading to her death since she refused to save herself at the cost of her daughter.]]

* DaddyIssues: She hates her dad because she thinks he didn’t care about his family and experimented on his wife immediately after she died. [[spoiler:After learning that he truly cared for his family and how the death of his wife broke him she decides to try reconciling with him and is about to meet him at the end of the game. Unfortunately VideoGame/BlazBlue shows that this will not work out well]].

* KnightTemplarBigSister: Believe it or not how we see Nine in VideoGame/BlazBlue is actually an improvement compared to how she is now. She is so paranoid that she believes that literally everyone who even knows about Imouto will try to kidnap her, that Watashi refuses to even let Imouto go outside and tries to attack Nobody despite her saying she will lead Watashi to her.

* TheCameo: In ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' ''CP'' and ''CF'', Celica turns into Imouto if Amane's Astral Heat is used on her.

-> For information about his appearance in BlazBlue, see [[Characters/BlazBlueLightNovelCharacters Light Novel Characters]].

* ForegoneConclusion: [[spoiler:We know that, despite Watashi’s efforts, the two will not reconcile with each other because Nine still hates her father by the time of BlazBlue.]]

* SealedEvilInATeddyBear: The doll houses Ripper's soul. Much like Terumi and Kazuma in BlazBluePhaseShift, he directs Kiri to hunt "bad guys" so one day he can merge with his own reanimated corpse.

* ActuallyNotAVampire: [[spoiler:He bites his victims’ necks with sharp fangs, leading to the rumors of him being a vampire. There are actual vampires in this universe ([[VideoGame/BlazBlue the Alucards]]) and Kiri has nothing to do with them. He is actually a Union who drains seithr from his victims as opposed to drinking blood]].

* {{Expy}}: Of Kazuma Kval from ''BlazBluePhaseShift''. [[spoiler:He is an overall kind and decent person, if a bit anti-social, who is meant to serve as a vessel for the AxCrazy villain who is stuck without a body. Said villain manipulates him so that they can fuse together, with the villain’s personality taking control]].

* Determinator: [[spoiler:He worked tirelessly to find a way to save his wife and unborn daughter and eventually succeeded by creating a replica of the Original Grimoire.]]

* HiddenHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:In truth he really loved his family and would do anything for them. It is losing Mother that turns him into a monster.]]

* YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler:While he did save Mother and Watashi’s lives with the Original Grimoire, Mother had already suffered sever seithr poisoning by that point. This left her too weak to handle a second childbirth, leading to her death since she refused to save herself at the cost of her daughter.]]

* OperaGloves: Wears black FingerlessGloves that go up to her upper arm.

-> Freaks retains all of the abilities he had as Ripper. His Drive, '''Scissor Hands''', transforms his fingers into razor sharp blades and has gained the ability to use it on both of his hands at the same time. Additionally, using the seithr he absorbed from Touya, he can now use the '''New Testament Drive: XBlaze''' which creates a tornado of black fog around him that can steal the life energy of everything it touches.

* CameBackStrong: He revived by absorbing half of the seithr in the Original Grimoire, which is more than enough to regain his full power that Touya stole from him and also lets him use a form of XBlaze.

* CurbStompBattle: Always destined to deliver one to Touya, Kuon, Mei and Elise ending in their deaths. Even after Es returned, he was doing this until [[EleventhHourSuperpower Es activated her XBlaze and Touya unlocked his Drive]].

* LifeDrain: His XBlaze behaves similarly to Soul Eater, creating a [[FogOfDoom mist tornado]] made of [[CastingAShadow dark energy]] that absorbs the life energy from everyone and everything around him.

* ManaDrain: Like Kiri, he can drain seithr by biting someone, storing it in his Crystal. He uses this on Touya after surviving Kuon and Elise’s [[DeathFromAbove Soul Direction]], draining enough power from the Original Grimoire to use his own XBlaze.

* PowerParasite: Absorbing the seithr from Touya’s Original Grimoire also gives him some of the power of the Grimoire itself in the form of his own XBlaze.

* SuperMode: New Testament Drive: XBlaze. It [[LifeDrain drains life energy from all around him]] and powers him up even further.

* TookALevelInBadass: Ripper being revived as Freaks made him go from on par with Touya and his friends to the point of easily killing them every time until Es appeared with her XBlaze and Touya unlocked his Drive and managed to kill him.

[[spoiler:Es scattered her own memories in the form of Memory Fragments, leaving behind Nobody, who, while still having Es' soul, becomes an entirely new being without Es’s memories. Like KH's Nobodies, who grew a heart over time, this Nobody also gets her own “Phantom Memories” from her experiences as her own person. Later on, Watashi creates a new body for Es using the power stored in her Phantom Memories and transferred her now memory free soul into the new body along with Es' memories. Es is able to regain these memories when she uses their power to activate her Phantom Memory: XBlaze]].
