History DarthWiki / XEHDrive

* BadassPrincess: She's the princess of her family and the heir to a City's direction. She's also the Captain of a Ratio squad because she defeated many opponents at war. [[TomboyPrincess She tends to avert]] PrincessTropes, though.

* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Averted brutally. She's been assumed to have ridden Haraku and Itsuki's coattails[[spoiler:, but she comes out of ''Full Year Trouble'' undefeated]].

** EvilRoy: Royle.

!!!Tropes associated with Lucia:

!!!Tropes associated with Aria:

- Yeong-Jin's cover name is Shin ''Masamune''.

-> A mysterious member of the Ratio's Investigation under the name Shin Masamune. Discontent at the way the Shuunen Clan runs the Ratio, he intends to take them off the leadership of the Ratio, leading the Rebellion.

* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Her hair is thrice as long after ''3'', after Dorothea gave her her powers.

* OddFriendship: Saki and Youha are nothing alike. Youha actually befriended Elaine out of interest first.

!!!Tropes associated with Elaine:

* DemonicPossession: Whenever Saki's injured or mentally agitated, Elaine doesn't hesitate to take over.

* TwinSwitch: Saki being injured doesn't mean Elaine isn't perfectly fit, fresh and fine. The result in battle looks like a HeroicSecondWind, except Elaine really isn't all that heroic.

* HiddenDepths: Youha is excitable, but she knows far too well that if she gets caught up in things, Eloise takes over.

!!!Tropes associated with Eloise:
-> The spirit hidden inside Youha's spear. Eloise is cruel, sadistic, and proud of it all. She also is the one responsible for Youha's murder of her whole family, having taken over her because she got too excited when receiving the weapon holding Eloise.

* SplitPersonalityTakeover: A brief while, because Youha got overexcited on hitting her parents with a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Eloise [[KillEmAll killed her entire family]] [[DisproportionateRetribution because they overreacted at her apparition]].

* {{Nepotism}}: The reason she got where she is so fast is strings got pulled by the Rex himself. She doesn't even know.

* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Averted brutally. She's been assumed to have ridden Haraku and Itsuki's coattails[[spoiler:, but she comes out of ''New Year Trouble'' undefeated]].

* {{Revenge}}: He killed the Second Rex as revenge for causing the war that scarred him.

-> The Cutting Edge Company's director weapon trader, Malar earned his position due to his flair and intimidating frame, that made him raise loads of money for both himself and the Cutting Edge Company, that hides him from the enemies he tends to make. Also known as one of their strongest members, he is mobilized to help the QMR, and heads to Homasubi.

* BlondesAreEvil

* ShoutOut: She denies having a sister. She has one. Her name? [[Manga/{{Saki}}]].

* PlayingWithFire: His proficiency with fire is the reason Mika cloned him to create Tan.

* BackFromTheDead: Read above.

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: She's there to put the Heavengirls back in their place.

* EyepatchOfPower: She wears one to hide a scar she got at war. The scar is trivial, but she wants to maintain a perfect look.

* TheDreaded: He did enough in the Yogotsuban War to be feared by any opponent.

* CrosshairAware: A sign that she is going to finish you off.

* TheSociopath: He is very self-centered, and people's suffering is his moneymaker, indirectly, so he has a bad case of LackOfEmpathy that is completely intentional. The 4th point is less present than the others[[spoiler:, even though it ultimately leads to his Face-Heel Turn in ''4'']].

-> Born in a "New-American" family, Alex upholds the values of the country dear. Enrolled in the then-little-group C-Volution after losing the Yogotsuban War, Alex helped take over Ouharano after the Yogotsuban attack, but after getting sent away by the re-established QMR, he is on his next mission: prepare C-Volution's Shimogamo takeover.

* AloofAlly[[spoiler:: Confirms his heel status in the story. In ''3'', turns coat on C-Volution... for the Cutting Edge Company, remaining a heel.]]
* EnigmaticMinion

* DarkActionGirl: Though AmbiguouslyEvil.
* HiddenDepths: Youha is excitable, yes, but she knows far too well that if she gets caught up in things, Eloise takes over.

-> An acquaintance of Yeong-Jin's from the Academy, and a CatGirl, she serves as his Lieutenant. Behind her animal traits and her jolly behavior actually lies a hidden soldier whose ferocity in battle contrasts with her sweetness out of it.

* GeniusDitz: Happy-go-lucky airheaded nice girl, extremely reliable SecretKeeper.

* BroughtDownToBadass: Was stronger physically before she became a girl.

Deemed a failure during the testing phase because of her weakness, she got shut down and scrapped.
