| 16 | * AndIMustScream: Her flesh was consumed by the Deity of Sin's malice, leaving her only as a disembodied consciousness. |
| 17 | * DubNameChange: In the NIS America localization, she is named "Caelus". Her original name was eventually [[DitchingTheDubNames reverted]] when Creator/IdeaFactory International bought the rights. |
| 18 | * TheGhost: Despite being mentioned in passing both in the first game and ''mk2'', we never get to see what she looks like. |
| 19 | * PrecursorHeroes: The party seek her out for advice because she was said to have defeated the Deity of Sin in the past, though she really only managed to [[SealedEvilInACan seal Arfoire away]] after her three CPU comrades died. She's revealed in ''VII'' to be [[spoiler:Uzume's direct successor as Planeptune's CPU]]. |

| 30 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaHanazawa (Japanese), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English) |
| 31 | |
| 32 | The CPU of the Ultra Dimension Planeptune. She's lazy, relaxed and approachable, but hides a sadistic side. She transforms into Iris Heart, a notorious sadist of a dominatrix who instills fear on both friend and foe alike. |
| 33 | ---- |
| 34 | * AmbiguouslyGay: While Iris Heart is very open about her fixations on the women in the group, Plutia's interests of the other girls is left rather vague; she's shown to be fascinated with Vert's breasts, enjoys piggyback rides from Neptune, she wants to see a date between Noire and Neptune, Iris Heart's personality starts to take over Plutia's, among other things. [[spoiler:What little ambiguity there was for the Plutia personality is thrown straight out during the true ending]]. |
| 35 | * AntiHero: A textbook example. As Iris Heart, she's a {{sadist}}ic {{Dominatrix}} who [[BloodKnight enjoys inflicting pain on her enemies]] and indiscriminately frightens both friend and foe alike. Even in her regular form, she isn't as less merciful as the other [=CPUs=] when dealing with her enemies (such as punching her dolls in one of her EXE Drives) and is often the one to suggest morally ambiguous methods to her plans. Despite this, she's still a part of the heroes and has shown somewhat of a caring side to her allies, albeit in a very subtle way. |
| 36 | * AntiHeroSubstitute: Just like Noire filling in for IF, Plutia fills the same role as Compa due to them being airheads and {{Combat Medic}}s. However, she's far less heroic than Compa, as Plutia has a sadistic side and can be frightening to both her foes and her friends, especially Iris Heart. |
| 37 | * BadassAdorable: Plutia is pretty cute, wearing an outfit that resembles a pajama, and spends most of her time knitting dolls, but she also uses said dolls as a "[[ImprobableWeaponUser weapon]]" to attack her enemies via using voodoo magic. Her "Stress Relief" EXE Drive shows her resorting to sadistically beating up her dolls in order to defeat the enemy. |
| 38 | * TheBaroness: As Iris Heart, she becomes cold-hearted and ruthless, mercilessly frightening friend and foe. |
| 39 | * BetweenMyLegs: Iris Heart's "Thunder Blade Kick" EXE Drive features a shot of the victim exploding between her legs, while she herself watches on, before continuing the assault. |
| 40 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Easily one of the most carefree and nicest characters in the game... who can also transform into a sadistic and fear mongering {{Dominatrix}} when angered. However, it's been shown later on that she can be pretty scary while in her civilian form, as one of her EXE Drive in fact is called "stress relief", where she ''punches her own dolls'', all while still keeping a cheerful expression. |
| 41 | * BigDamnHeroes: When Iris Heart first shows up, she appears in front of Neptune and Noire to "save" the two of them after they've been pushed around by Arfoire. Though in Neptune's case, her first reaction to seeing Plutia's [[SuperpoweredEvilSide transformed self]] for the first time is, understandably, "We're screwed now". |
| 42 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Though her kindness is a real part of her personality, she's also hiding a sadistic nature via her Iris Heart form. Arfoire even calls Iris Heart a "cold, unfeeling woman". |
| 43 | * BlatantLies: Gets called out on this by Neptune when she says that she [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence doesn't get off from violence]]. |
| 44 | * BlackComedyRape: While all of Iris Heart's punishments never go beyond ColdBloodedTorture despite her motif, some of them tend to lean heavily into this territory, all PlayedForLaughs. A noteworthy example being in chapter 4, where she gives Nepgear a punishment so bad that she's left DefiledForever. |
| 45 | * BloodKnight: When on the battlefield, Iris Heart will gleefully terrorize her enemies, often in a sexual manner. One example would be with [[spoiler:Arfoire in chapter 5. Despite the other goddesses deciding to leave her alone after they defeated her, she doesn’t hold back from torturing her further as a way to let out her rage, as she kidnapped IF and Compa, unknowingly traumatizing the former in the process]]. |
| 46 | * BreastExpansion: Like [[Characters/NeptuniaMainCPUs Neptune]], she goes from a young-looking girl with A-cups to an adult woman with E-cups. |
| 47 | * CardCarryingVillain: Downplayed. While she's more CreepyGood than anything else, she can admit that she has [[ItsAllAboutMe megalomania]] when she's Iris Heart. |
| 48 | * ChekhovsGunman: In ''VII'', her name is almost mentioned by both Older Neptune and Nepgear in the middle of Zero Dimension Z arc, particularly the latter before switching to other topics. [[spoiler:This is foreshadows that Adult Neptune is the same Neptune from the True End of ''Victory'']]. |
| 49 | * ColdBloodedTorture: How she deals with her enemies in her Iris Heart form. Special mention goes to [[spoiler:Arfoire. After having already been beaten up by the goddesses in her monster form, Iris Heart, who was enraged by her [[MamaBear kidnapping her "children"]], then proceeds torture her so brutally that she’s reduced to a VillainousBSOD]]. |
| 50 | * CombatSadoMasochist: Iris Heart is definitively a sadist. However, in one of her victory quotes in ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', after having a tough fight, she says that "it feels great"[[note]]In Japanese, the phrase "kimochi ii" is commonly used in sexual context.[[/note]]. Other characters on the other hand would say how tough it was. |
| 51 | * ComedicSociopathy: Most of her sense of humor -- both in civilian and HDD form -- comes from her constant remarks about how she wants to torment her victims. |
| 52 | * ContraltoOfStrength: Iris Heart has a deeper, seductive sounding voice that can make anyone around her uneasy, and is far more stronger than Plutia in the power department. |
| 53 | * CoolShip: Like Neptune, she can transform into an jet plane by using her Formation Skill. |
| 54 | * CrutchCharacter: In ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', as a DLC character, Plutia is very powerful, and thanks to being a [=CPU=], she becomes very useful after unlocking her in chapter 2 and she will eventually catch up to the other heroes despite starting from level 1. However, her SP moves tend to have high costs, so you cannot rely too much on her alone. Unlike Peashy, Plutia remains useful even after getting all four main Goddesses, thanks to her moveset. |
| 55 | * CuteAndPsycho: Plutia has been shown to be just as scary as Iris Heart, which is more or less [[ComedicSociopathy played as a joke]]. One of her EXE Drives, named "stress relief", has her gleefully beating up her dolls when attacking her enemies. [[spoiler:And when she found out that her children have been kidnapped by Arfoire, she starts giggling and speaking in a creepy tone, disturbing the other goddesses in their HDD forms]]. |
| 56 | -->'''Plutia:''' [[spoiler:....hehehe. Icky giant bug...such a gross insect to squish. Hehhehe....sorry, it's no good. I'm so mad, I can't hold it in. I know, I know...I wonder if this nasty woman will accept all these angry feelings...]] |
| 57 | * DarkIsNotEvil: ''Heavily'' downplayed with Iris Heart. She's an out-and-out sadist who enjoys seeing her victims, allies included, squeamish in terror as she gleefully inflicts pain on them, so it's surprising that she's not only one of the heroines in ''Victory'', but also the leader of the Ultra Dimension's Planeptune. She also shows some aspects carried over from her human form, such as helping Blanc get her nation back and trying to soothe IF after punishing Arfoire for kidnapping her. This aspect is made much more prominent in the anime, where she gets a good dose of AdaptationalHeroism by only targeting the opposers instead of both them and the heroes, and having more JerkWithAHeartOfGold moments like [[spoiler:comforting an emotionally broken Neptune who has been mourning over the kidnapping of Peashy in Episode 10]]. |
| 58 | * DemotedToExtra: From one of the protagonists in ''Victory'' to DLC character in ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', and then to one of a DLC Scouts in ''VII''. |
| 59 | * DepravedBisexual: Aggressively so as Iris Heart. She is AmbiguouslyGay and really loves her female companions a bit ''too'' much. |
| 60 | * {{Determinator}}: In both games where she winds up being possessed, she fights off whatever is possessing her and trying to take control of her. Stating she does not like having her body and mind hijacked would be an {{Understatement}}. |
| 61 | * DevelopmentGag[[invoked]]: The name Pururut is referenced repeatedly in the English version. It comes up directly as one of the choices to the quiz question as to what her nickname is, and she mentions that Neptune says that "Puru" makes her sound like [[VideoGame/MugenSouls someone's peon]]. |
| 62 | * TheDitz: Plutia is a complete airhead who lacks common sense, has a [[SimpletonVoice slow-paced speech pattern]], and often gets on other characters nerves (namely Noire) due to her low intelligence. |
| 63 | * {{Dominatrix}}: Though not an actual one, Iris Heart has this as a motif. Her outfit [[DressedLikeADominatrix is reminiscent of one]], consisting of a black two piece leotard with a choker, two ear rings, opera gloves, and high heels. Personality-wise, she's TheBaroness who demands fear and respect from others, takes pleasure in "playing" with them, is a fan of BDSM, and often makes suggestive comments or [[ImaginedInnuendo interprets anything normal as sexual]]. She also wields a WhipSword that [[WhipOfDominance matches her personality]]. |
| 64 | * DownloadableContent: For the Scout System in ''VII''. |
| 65 | * TheDreaded: Her Iris Heart form is feared by both heroes and villains alike, thanks to habit of inflicting sever pain on them, either as an outlet for her pent-up frustrations, as punishment for their misdemeanors, or just because she enjoys it. Anyone who is unfortunate enough to witness 'Madame Goddess' will suffer a traumatizing ordeal. Her allies are especially aware of how terrifying she is when in that form and try their best as to not let her transform. In Nepgear's case, she admits to being afraid of even her regular form. |
| 66 | * DubNameChange: It went from Pururut to Plutia, possibly to clash well with Neptune's name. The original name could have been thought to be a pun on the color purple, but listening to the dialogue in game, it's pronounced "Pururuto", meaning the Pluto pun was there to begin with. Also, "pururut" is a [[InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike Filipino slang word for "loose bowel movement" (diarrhea)]]. |
| 67 | * EvilWearsBlack: Her Iris Heart form wears a black, skin-tight dominatrix suit with dark pink streaks. This ties to her outwardly sadistic personality and habit of torturing both enemies and allies alike in a sadistic fashion. |
| 68 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Iris Heart is normally unrepentant, but she [[MamaBear truly cares about her children and children in general]] and would show remorse if she made a child cry. [[spoiler:The one case where she herself traumatizes the little IF for life is a result of her getting carried away on Arfoire after getting furious over the latter having kidnapped IF]]. |
| 69 | * ExtremeOmnisexual: Regardless of what the person is, Iris Heart won't hesitate to use anyone as her "play thing", considering that her first on-screen victim, Warechu, was ''a rat''. The sole exception is Vert who apparently isn't her type. |
| 70 | * EyeColorChange: Downplayed; she's the only CPU to retain her magenta colored eyes when in HDD, albeit in a darker shade of said color. Not that it makes her any less [[RedEyesTakeWarning scarier]]. |
| 71 | * EyeScream: Iris Heart's [[NonindicativeName Verbal Abuse]] has the camera switch to the perspective of her victim as she steps on their face and starts to grind her heel in before stomping straight in. This ends up [[MindRape lowering the Mental stat of every enemy nearby]]. |
| 72 | * FetishizedAbuser: Iris Heart is TheBaroness dressed in a {{Dominatrix}}[=-like=] attire who relishes in abusing her enemies and her allies for her own sexual desires. It's also implied that she is infatuated with the [=CPUs=] (particularly Neptune and Noire), whom she takes advantage of. |
| 73 | %%* FullContactMagic |
| 74 | * GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Her [[Platform/SegaDreamcast White Cast]] Processor Unit. Funnily enough, Uzume, who represents the Dreamcast, would beat her 3 years later. |
| 75 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Despite being a part of the [=CPUs=], Iris Heart is downright ruthless to her enemies, taking pleasure in their suffering via beating them up with her WhipSword. Plutia can also be scary in battle due to her ability to use her dolls to attack her enemies, all while laughing gleefuly. |
| 76 | * HealingHands: She has some healing moves in ''[=Re;Birth1=]''. |
| 77 | * HeroesPreferSwords: Iris Heart uses swords, just like Purple Heart. |
| 78 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: Iris Heart may be a "[[AntiHero hero]]", but she gets a kick out of seeing her victims getting tortured by her, has no problem intimidating both enemies and allies alike, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking most of her dialogue consists of]] ''very'' risque jokes. Plutia is no better, as while she still retains her caring aspects, it doesn't stop her from having a macabre sense of humor. |
| 79 | * HollywoodVoodoo: One of Plutia's EXE Drives, called "Stress Relief", has her cheerfully beat up her own dolls to make enemies suffer. |
| 80 | * HypocriticalHumor: Plutia will sometimes laugh at the enemies because they "were spacing out" at the start of battle. Not only does she space out more than the other characters, the "Spacing Out?" challenge is one of her most beneficial ones to work on. |
| 81 | %%* IdenticalStranger: To Neptune. |
| 82 | * IdiotHero: She never intended to become a CPU, she just happened to find the CPU Memory and thought it was candy and ate it. |
| 83 | * ImaginedInnuendo: Iris Heart assumes Nepgear's references to hardware and software are sexual in nature. |
| 84 | * InSeriesNickname: Pururun in the Japanese version, Plutie in the English version. Sadie (English) for Iris Heart, Do S Pururun (Do = Extreme, S = Sadist) for the Japanese version. |
| 85 | * InsistentTerminology: Iris Heart orders her enemies to call her "[[LargeHam Madam Goddess]]". |
| 86 | * InterruptedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:During the true end, while she and Neptune are buried under a ton of dolls, she has something to say but gets cut off by Nepgear and Peashy. By the time she can speak again she gets very non specific, though it's obvious what her original intent was]]. |
| 87 | -->'''Plutia:''' [[spoiler:I was just thinking... It's so great that you fell from the sky and into this world. Thanks to you, I made sooooo many more friends, and now the world is at peace. But unless I say it now, it'll be too embarrassing...]] |
| 88 | -->'''Plutia:''' [[spoiler:Hehehe. Let's be exactly like this from now on, Neppy!]] |
| 89 | * ItAmusedMe: She loves seeing her enemies suffer. |
| 90 | * JackOfAllStats: Plutia has overall balanced stats, with an emphasis on Intelligence. Iris Heart is more of a MagicKnight though. |
| 91 | * JekyllAndHyde: A downplayed variant, as while she retains her memories in HDD, her personality becomes extremely different when transformed. As Plutia, she is mild-mannered, approachable, and fun-loving with an occasional sadistic side. As Iris Heart, she's a loud and sadistic VillainProtagonist who loves intimidating and tormenting others. |
| 92 | * JerkassBall: Plutia has her moments of acting very {{spoiled|Brat}} -- when things don't go her way, she'll ''threaten'' to use her SuperpoweredEvilSide against her allies to get what she wants. |
| 93 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Cruel and dominating as she is, Iris Heart does seem to have a soft spot for people who learned from their mistakes, which is shown in the True Ending and is [[AdaptationalHeroism further emphasized]] in the [[Anime/HyperdimensionNeptuniaTheAnimation anime]]. |
| 94 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: That said, there are moments where she only acts "nice" to cover up her true intentions. A perfect example is in chapter 3, where Neptune remarks that Iris Heart was actually showing compassion for Blanc. Plutia reveals that her thoughts at the time were that, as cute as Blanc was while crying, if she were to start by being nice she could make her cry even harder later to be even cuter. |
| 95 | * KarmaHoudini: Iris Heart doesn't get any comeuppance from her actions, with the closest being [[spoiler:her and the rest of the goddesses getting curb stomped by Yellow Heart. And even then, she almost got an ''orgasm'' at the idea. Also in the true ending, when it looks like she'll be overpowered by the dark energy and Neptune is about ready to knock her out, she's saved by Rei Ryghts]]. |
| 96 | * LargeHam: Iris Heart can be pretty loud and bombastic at times, and loves to chew the scenery. |
| 97 | * LaughingMad: She'll laugh manically whenever she has too much fun hurting her victims (e.g. Arfoire), or when she reaches her RageBreakingPoint and becomes unhinged. This is mostly done quite often as Iris Heart, while as Plutia its only on occasion. |
| 98 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Iris Heart's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ceAIvwNLgo appropriately titled "Iris Heart"]], is a sci-fi rock tune that plays during her introduction or whenever she appears, though that happens on occasion. |
| 99 | * MagicKnight: Iris Heart uses some magical attacks but also learns some physical ones. |
| 100 | * MamaBear: She is very protective towards Ultra Dimension IF and Compa, and is one of the very few traits that is carried over in her Iris Heart form. This is best shown in Chapter 5 when, after learning that Arfoire kidnapped the two of them, she becomes enraged enough to transform into Iris Heart and begins to subject Arfoire to ColdBloodedTorture that leaves the villain traumatized for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, this came at the cost of scaring IF in the process, who had witness her torture of Arfoire, leading to Iris Heart, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness in a rare moment of genuine remorse]], trying (and failing) to calm her down. |
| 101 | * MoeAnthropomorphism: Of the Platform/SegaGenesis (specifically its Japanese counterpart the Mega Drive). The print on her belt is reminiscent of the console's controller, while the choker on her HDD form is designed like the front of the Mega Drive. |
| 102 | * MythologyGag: Just like Neptune [[note]][[Platform/SegaGenesis Sega Neptune]], a combination Genesis and 32X[[/note]], she's named after an unreleased Sega console [[note]][[Platform/SegaSaturn Sega Pluto]], a Saturn with a built-in [=NetLink=] modem[[/note]]. |
| 103 | * NoblewomansLaugh: Visually shown with her SP Skill Drive Stab in ''[=Re;Birth1=]''. However, you don't hear her laugh. |
| 104 | * ThePowerOfFriendship: Plutia is a serious believer in this. |
| 105 | * PokeThePoodle: Iris Heart "tortures" Histoire by removing a bookmark from a book she was reading. |
| 106 | * PrecisionFStrike: Iris Heart has at least swore on occasion (such as saying "bitch"). However, in one scene, it's ''Plutia'' who swears at Arfoire, which could hint that [[SplitPersonalityMerge the two personalities are merging]] or that she's [[CuteAndPsycho just as sadistic as Iris Heart]]. |
| 107 | * PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: Although she becomes TheGhost in ''VII''. |
| 108 | %%* PurpleIsPowerful |
| 109 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes are magenta (a mixture of pink, purple and red) in both forms and while she's normally calm, she has a sadistic streak that becomes more prominent when she's Iris Heart. The first time she becomes Iris Heart, her eyes start [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing]]. |
| 110 | * RotatingProtagonist: Both she and Neptune insist in their Self Intros that they are the main character, and while she insists that not only is she the main character but specifies that [[DecoyProtagonist Neptune is not]] they do actually largely share the role. |
| 111 | * SayItWithHearts: In Japanese version only. Most of her dialogues always ended with tilde (~) due to her slow speaking. |
| 112 | * SheCleansUpNicely: Plutia is normally very cute, but in the bath scene we see her with her hair down and she looks rather stunning. |
| 113 | * ShipperOnDeck: She wants to see a date between Neptune and Noire. |
| 114 | * ShipTease: Some of the official art has her doing this with Noire and Neptune. |
| 115 | * ShockAndAwe: Most of her attacks are electrical. With so many enemies being only vulnerable to Electric attacks this makes here a godsend in many battles. |
| 116 | * SimpletonVoice: She speaks using a dopey drawl, fitting her spaced-out and laid-back personality. |
| 117 | * TheSlacker: Plutia would usually skip her goddess duties to go have fun. |
| 118 | * SlapOnTheWristNuke: Like Neptune she has a CoolStarship transformation. When she uses it for Neptune's Plutia HDD [[CombinationAttack Formation Skill]], she subjects the target to a short BulletHell before the two of them fly off into space, and [[OrbitalBombardment fire off a massive laser]] that [[EarthShatteringKaboom blows the whole planet up]]. Iris Heart will [[EvilLaugh laugh about it]] while Plutia will wonder if she went overboard, Neptune tries to get her to understand it's just a dramatization either way. |
| 119 | * {{Sleepyhead}}: Plutia is a napper so much that she can sleep wherever, even while being carried by Purple Heart. |
| 120 | * SplitPersonality: Much like Neptune, she has a completely different personality in HDD form compared to her human form. While as Plutia, she's friendly, lazy and scatterbrained (whenever she's not being CuteAndPsycho), as Iris Heart she's ruthless, intimidating and dominating, and while they're both perverted, Plutia usually keeps it hidden while Iris Heart is very open about it. Over the course of the game however, [[SplitPersonalityTakeover her Iris Heart persona starts to leak into her human form]], such as when the other [=CPUs=] discuss over Arfoire kidnapping IF again, she commands them to go by her orders, and later on intimidates Arfoire by calling-back to the time she punished her for kidnapping IF the first time, all while Arfoire shakes in fear. It gets to a point that the other [=CPUs=] believe that she's starting to embrace her sadistic nature as Iris Heart. Or that she [[BitchInSheepsClothing really was sadistic and that her Plutia persona was a mask]]. |
| 121 | * {{Stripperific}}: Iris Heart's outfit is [[DressedLikeADominatrix akin to a dominatrix]], with an exposed abdomen and butt. |
| 122 | * SuperpoweredEvilSide: During her transformation, she goes from a sleepy, airheaded and innocent-looking girl to a sadistic, fear-mongering {{Dominatrix}} who mercilessly torments both friend and foe alike. She also goes from a reasonably powerful girl whose only weapons are [[ImprobableWeaponUser plushie dolls]] to being far more stronger, wielding a WhipSword and having the ability to [[ShockAndAwe control lighting]]. |
| 123 | * SuppressedRage: Plutia has a lot of pent-up anger that she keeps hidden underneath her carefree demeanor, which she displays through her calm but bone-chilling way of speaking. Considering that [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry these frustrations are what usually triggers her transformations]], it's no wonder her allies are terrified of making her angry, including the already [[HairTriggerTemper ill-tempered]] Blanc. This can be demonstrated in the scene where she talks to Compa on how she keeps her cool. Plutia responds by pulling out her doll, punching it, throwing it to the ground, and finally ''stepping'' on it as a way of PercussiveTherapy. |
| 124 | * TokenEvilTeammate: While the [=CPUs=] are ([[BunnyEarsLawyer mostly]]) well-meaning and virtuous, Iris Heart is a sociopathic egomaniac who takes delight in terrorizing anyone [[FriendOrFoe regardless of their morality]]. The [=CPUs=] themselves {{invoked|Trope}} this by treating Iris Heart as one, not Plutia (who herself [[CuteAndPsycho isn't immune from this]]), and would [[LampshadeHanging often point out how weird it is that their ally is more frightening than the enemy]]. |
| 125 | * TranquilFury: Plutia never actually loses her cool when she's ''really'' mad. Instead, she retains her composure through a shaded face and [[CreepyMonotone a slow, threatening sounding voice]]. This makes her all the more terrifying to even her allies. |
| 126 | * {{Understatement}}: In ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', she states that she could be a tad bit angry as she goes from a sleepy little girl to a full-fledged dominatrix. |
| 127 | * VerbalTic: Much like Neptune's "Neppu", Plutia has "pyon", but only when she jumps. She also uses "Puru~" when she gets "[[DullSurprise shocked]]", but she doesn't use it nearly as often as Neptune's "Nepu". |
| 128 | * VillainProtagonist: While she is one of the protagonists in the game, Iris Heart is a threat to both enemies and allies, as she can inflict severe pain that will cause the victim in question to be traumatized for life. It's however downplayed as the game never ''explicitly'' states that Iris Heart is the "villain"; she leans closely more into EvilHero territory. |
| 129 | * VoodooDoll: Some of her attacks show that her [[BewareTheNiceOnes sadistic streak is not entirely limited to her Iris Heart persona]] and have her mercilessly beating the crap out of her own dolls. It's the enemies who suffer. |
| 130 | %%* WaveMotionGun: With her ''dolls'' no less! |
| 131 | * WhipOfDominance: While she mostly uses it as a sword in-game, her weapon is a WhipSword, fitting with her being a {{Sadist}} with a {{Dominatrix}}-motif. |
| 132 | * WhipSword: Iris Heart's weapon, though the whip function wasn't apparent until the anime. |

| 148 | * AmbiguousInnocence: Yellow Heart seems cheery and innocent in personality, but she can inflict extreme violence on anyone, just like Peashy. |
| 149 | %%* AntiVillain: [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter She just wants to make "Mommy and Daddy" happy]]. - Needs better context |
| 150 | * BirdRun: When you let her be the party leader, she runs like this. |
| 151 | * BadassAdorable: She is pretty cute, and can easily beat just about any other (similarly levelled) CPU in one-on-one combat while she is at full power. |
| 152 | * BloodKnight: In ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', as you can hear her voice during battles, she likes fights very much. |
| 153 | * BoobBasedGag: Yellow Heart's I-Cup breast size isn't used for {{fanservice}} as it's used for comedy. When she first appears after landing on [[ButtMonkey Noire]], the characters begin to comment on how huge her chest is. So huge in fact that it's enough to give ''Vert'' the ACupAngst, saying that her status as the most well-endowed character in the series has been thwarted, to the point that she (along with Blanc, who also got envious at seeing Yellow Heart's figure, due to being the only CPU not to undergo BreastExpansion when transformed) [[DisproportionateRetribution attempt to kill her]] in order to regain her position as the "biggest". |
| 154 | -->'''Noire''': [[LampshadeHanging Stop being shocked by her unrealistically sized tits!]] |
| 155 | * BoomerangBigot: She works with an anti-CPU organization, though her animosity toward other [=CPUs=] was simply taught to her by her "Papa" and "Mama". |
| 156 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: She gets kidnapped by Anonydeath, ends up eating a CPU Memory on her own, and is made into a living weapon by The Seven Sages to fight the rest of the [=CPUs=]. It's however downplayed as she retains her cheery personality. |
| 157 | * BreastExpansion: Exaggerated. Her human form is a five-year-old child without any plump in the chest area. Her HDD form, meanwhile, is a adolescent girl with '''I-cup''' breasts, rivaling the equally busty Vert to the point of making the latter envious. |
| 158 | * CallBack: Her tendency to spam knockback attacks. Peashy constantly playfully attacked Neptune, often knocking her around, as a child. |
| 159 | * CharacterTics: Throwing up her arms when excited, a trait carried over from Peashy. |
| 160 | * CheerfulChild: A young child who's usually energetic and happy. |
| 161 | * CrutchCharacter: In ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', Peashy levels very quickly thanks to her passive ability, and her very high STR makes her a very powerful party member, especially considering the fact that she is a CPU. She will soon outlevel the other characters despite starting from level 1 in chapter 2. However, since she is a GlassCannon, she definitively needs back-up when facing boss characters. In the late game, her moveset turns out to be less useful than the other Goddesses. |
| 162 | * CurbStompBattle: After the initial boss fight, Blanc and Vert question whether or not the other was really trying. This makes her [[IAmNotLeftHanded ask if it's ok to do her best as well]]. She proceeds to blast them with enough force to knock them out of HDD and well out of sight. |
| 163 | * CuteButCacophonic: She's adorable yet ''very'' loud at the same time, to the point of bordering on NoIndoorVoice, especially in the [[Creator/AoiYuuki Japanese dub]]. |
| 164 | * CuteBruiser: Adorable as she is, Peashy is a pretty capable fighter for someone her age. |
| 165 | %%* CuteLittleFang |
| 166 | * DiegeticSoundtrackUsage: You're not going to find it in the in-game [=BGM=] listing, and only those who have played ''Victory'' will immediately recognize it, but the music that plays during the [=CG=] animated battle between the four goddesses is Yellow Heart's theme from ''Victory''. |
| 167 | * TheDitz: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since she's about five years old (physically and mentally). |
| 168 | * DemotedToExtra: Just like Plutia, she's now become one of a DLC Scouts, while previously she's one of the protagonists in ''Victory'' and DLC character in ''[=Re;Birth1=]'' respectively. |
| 169 | * DownloadableContent: For the Scout System in ''VII''. |
| 170 | * DumbMuscle: Despite being a very powerful CPU even without various outside empowerments on her, her intelligence is rather low, to the extent that she's only smart enough to read and write only simple words. To be fair, her mental development essentially stopped when she was a child. |
| 171 | * DubNameChange: She is named Pish in the Japanese version. |
| 172 | * EyeColorChange: Her eye color goes from blue to a mixture of yellow and orange when in HDD. |
| 173 | * EvilCounterpart: She is a CPU who just happens to be backed by the Seven Sages. |
| 174 | %%* EvilLaugh: Just once. |
| 175 | * FragileSpeedster: Besides being a GlassCannon, Peashy has very high AGI, only be beaten by Vert and [=CyberConnect2=]. |
| 176 | * GenkiGirl: Always cheerful even when she's fighting. Brainwashed or not, that much about Peashy never changes. |
| 177 | * GlassCannon: Once you get her as a party member, she's this. She has the highest STR, but lowest VIT. Her HP on the other hand is very high, but she still takes a lot of damage. |
| 178 | %%* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine |
| 179 | * GrievousHarmWithABody: Her human form version of the "Beat Up Combo" Coupling Skill with Neptune has her hurl the enemy at Neptune, [[HomeRunHitter expecting her to bat them back]]. She applies so much force [[ATwinkleInTheSky the enemy just keeps going and takes Neptune with them]]. Her reaction is amusing to say the least. |
| 180 | -->"[[DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength Huh? Neptuna's gone too?]]" |
| 181 | * HairAntennae: Sticking out from her ponytail. |
| 182 | %%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: More prominently as Peashy though. |
| 183 | * HeroAntagonist: Yellow Heart serves this role to the rest of the goddesses when she first appears. She doesn't act like a genuine threat to them due to being a brainwashed Peashy and only wants to make her "Parents" happy. She eventually ditches the "antagonist" part once she joins the goddesses though. |
| 184 | * HotBlooded: Be it human or CPU, she loves a good rumble. |
| 185 | * IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: A sad example in Chapter 8, where Peashy's "mothers" Neptune and Plutia, along with Iffy, Compa, and Nepgear, try to restore Peashy's memories by showing her things from her childhood. It thankfully works. |
| 186 | * ImpossiblyLowNeckLine: Yellow Heart's costume. Justified, since it's skin-tight. |
| 187 | * InconsistentSpelling: Japanese sources use "Pish". English sources use "Peashy" (eg. check out her character page on the English version of the first game's remake, and you'll see "Pish" on her character image.) |
| 188 | * InterfaceSpoiler: Buy any of the product proposal items for costumes. Several of them mention being for Yellow Heart or Peashy only, indicating that you'll be able to get her on your side. Likely before you even ever meet her. |
| 189 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: She's properly introduced in ''[=Re;Birth3=]'', in which her status as a CPU is originally a twist. |
| 190 | * LetsGetDangerous: She may be a CheerfulChild, but she is able to transform into a absurdly powerful CPU when the situation calls for it. |
| 191 | * LightningBruiser: She has above average attack power, physical defense, and decent speed. However, her magical defense and skills are subpar when compared to other characters. |
| 192 | * MoeAnthropomorphism: Of the Platform/TurboGrafx16 (specifically its Japanese counterpart the PC Engine). Yellow Heart's design in particular is heavily based on the PC Engine's design. |
| 193 | * TheNicknamer: Calls Neptune "Neptuna", Plutia with "Ploot" and Vert with "Bert" which causes the latter (both of them) to {{Squee}}. |
| 194 | * OlderAlterEgo: She's a child, but can transform into the voluptuous Yellow Heart. Unlike Neptune or Plutia, she remains very much a child mentally. |
| 195 | * OvernightAgeUp: Her transformation into Yellow Heart was the result of eating a CPU Memory used by the Seven Sages to create their very own CPU. |
| 196 | * PerpetualSmiler: Yellow Heart is constantly smiling. ''Constantly''. |
| 197 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Peashy is one of the smallest and youngest playable characters in the series, but she can pack a punch, both in and out of battle. In ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', she has the highest STR among all playable characters. |
| 198 | * PlatonicCoParenting: Plutia and Neptune consider her their "daughter", along with Compa and IF. After getting over being BrainwashedAndCrazy, she goes back to living with them, but still also considers Rei and Anonydeath her mother and father. |
| 199 | * PowerFist: Peashy wears cute gloves, many of them resembling animal paws. They are still very powerful. |
| 200 | * PunnyName: Peashy = PC, as in Platform/PCEngine. |
| 201 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes have an orange-yellow tint and can be dangerous, although she's more of a DumbMuscle. |
| 202 | * SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: Her victory pose in ''[=Re;Birth1=]''. |
| 203 | * ShoutOut: Many of her attacks are references to ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' moves. |
| 204 | * ThirdPersonPerson: (Japanese only) She refers to herself as "Pii", the first syllable of her name. |
| 205 | * TragicMonster: She had this form forced on her by both [[FakeMemories warping her memories]] and [[ReforgedIntoAMinion reconstructing her body]]. |
| 206 | * TokenMiniMoe: As Peashy, she's one of the youngest of the [=CPUs=]. It's actually a reference to the fact that the Platform/PCEngine was one of the smallest consoles in Japan, hence her young appearance. |
| 207 | * UnskilledButStrong: Having been BrainwashedAndCrazy by Anonydeath, she never had any physical training into becoming a CPU. Doesn't stop her from being the strongest thanks to Anonydeath's tampering letting her floor the party, and then having a lion share of the available Share Energy in the world thanks to Eden's propaganda afterwards. After they manage to destroy said device and decrease Eden's monopoly on Shares, however, the next fight is far more even. |
| 208 | * WalkingSpoiler: Her true identity is Peashy. |
| 209 | * WholeCostumeReference: Peashy's bee outfit is a reference to the Hudson Soft bee mascot. |
| 210 | %%* WolverineClaws: LaserBlade version even! |
| 211 | * WomanChild: She is Peashy's OlderAlterEgo, yet she still retains her childish attributes. |

| 223 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarikoHonda (Japanese), Creator/EricaLindbeck (English) |
| 224 | |
| 225 | A strong-willed CPU who Neptune and Nepgear encounter in the Zero Dimension, who fights alone against the Dark [=CPUs=] tearing it up to protect the remaining population of monsters after humanity's apparent demise. Her partner is a strange, man-faced fish named Umio. She transforms into Orange Heart, who has a much more girly and carefree demeanor that sometimes leaks into her human form while daydreaming. |
| 226 | ---- |
| 227 | * AchillesHeel: [[spoiler:The Swirl Console, her true body after being sealed, as well as the giant Share Crystal that makes up the core of Heart Dimension. Destroying either of them will kill both her and Kurome, which happens in the normal ending of the game. This no longer applies after her resurrection in the GoldenEnding]]. |
| 228 | * AmnesiacGod: Although with a little bit of AngelUnaware. Much like Neptune in the [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia first game]] and [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaRebirth1 its remake]], when she hears Histoire's name and witnesses Neptune and Nepgear's transformation as Purple Heart and Purple Sister respectively, she remembers something related to Planeptune. [[spoiler:It turns out she used to be the CPU of the aforementioned nation all along, courtesy of her original counterpart's explanation]]. |
| 229 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:After her HeroicSacrifice, the [[GoldenEnding Revival Ending]] has everyone unseal and revive her original body to bring her back to the Hyper Dimension. She first must engage Kurome in a MirrorMatch, culminating in the two seemingly merging back into a single entity, with Uzume fortunately in control]]. |
| 230 | * BadassAdorable: Becomes more of this when she's in Orange Heart, her CPU persona. |
| 231 | * BreastExpansion: She goes up a few cup sizes when she transforms into Orange Heart. |
| 232 | * ChildlikeVoice: While fantasizing or transformed into Orange Heart, her tone goes up quite high, accompanied by ThirdPersonPerson as a sign of immaturity. |
| 233 | * ContraltoOfStrength: In the English dub, she is given quite the hoarse and deep voice in contrast to the other goddesses, one that perfectly matches her tough and hot-headed personality. [[spoiler:It also serves as a powerful contrast to Kurome's [[SoftSpokenSadist calm and mild voice]]]]. |
| 234 | * ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Plutia of the [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory previous game]]. |
| 235 | ** Plutia is gentle but difficult to understand, making friends very easily, always skipping her duties as CPU, calm but ditzy with a little sadistic streak, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and tends to go overboard]] when showcasing her somewhat [[ComedicSociopathy twisted sense of humor]]. Uzume on the other hand, is mannish, blunt and hotheaded, but selfless and loyal. She also cares very deeply for her friends and rarely speaks ill of them, and unlike the other Planeptune goddesses she is also very diligent about her work. [[spoiler:It also helps that she used to be Planeptune's CPU]]. |
| 236 | ** In HDD form, Iris Heart is a HeroicComedicSociopath and a notorious sadistic, scaremongering {{dominatrix}} who indiscriminately and mercilessly frightens anyone else, friend or foe alike, while also taking pleasure in tormenting them. Orange Heart (unlike any other CPU in the series) is soft, bubbly and childish. |
| 237 | * CrutchCharacter: In ''[=reVerse=]'', Uzume completely lacks natural Passive Abilities, Partner Attacks, or Formation Skills, and her regular skills have low power and will inevitably be outclassed by the main characters. However, her rush attack combo is perfect for raising the EXE gauge quickly, she starts with a Revival skill, and (like the other DLC goddesses) she's a CPU that can join the party as early as Chapter 2. |
| 238 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red hair and eyes in her normal form. |
| 239 | * DivingKick: During her Dream Roar attack, she begins with a drop kick before shattering the ground with a powerful scream. |
| 240 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: One of the side events reveals that she doesn't like shiitake mushrooms. Nepgear eventually learns to prepare them in such a way that she can eat them. |
| 241 | * EnemyWithout: Inverted. [[spoiler:She's actually the conscience of the [[BigBad original Uzume]] given physical form]]. |
| 242 | * EyeColorChange: Her eye color goes from reddish-orange to [[InnocentBlueEyes light blue]] when in HDD. |
| 243 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:She doesn't hesitate to convince Nepgear to destroy the Heart Dimension's main Share Crystal to save Gamindustri, even knowing that it will kill her. This serves in contrast to Kurome, who is bewildered that she can still smile and entrust the world to the [=CPUs=] when she's about to die in the Ascension Ending, and flies into a screaming rage in the Revival Ending when Uzume casually says that they're both about to die along with their sealed body]]. |
| 244 | * FieryRedhead: Her normal form has red hair, and she's (usually) strong-willed, hot-headed, and loud-mouthed. |
| 245 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: Mostly towards Baby Bugs and Dogoos, as they helped her to find a Share Crystal so she can be a CPU. |
| 246 | * GrenadeSpam: When "The Umio Heaven" is used, Uzume summons 5 Umio missiles that drops multiple bombs. After using up all their explosive payloads, they will charge toward their target and cause a bigger explosive in the background with Uzume saluting. |
| 247 | * HadToBeSharp: According to Umio, her "Daydream Theater"/Orange Heart personality is her true self, but she developed the {{Tomboyish Voice}}d OreOnna persona to be strong for everyone in the [[CrapsackWorld Zero Dimension]]. |
| 248 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:The revelation of her DarkAndTroubledPast, as well as learning that she can't defeat Kurome without killing herself, hits her so hard that she runs off alone, just wanting to curl up and die. After Umio helps her regain her composure, she's humiliated that everyone saw her cry]]. |
| 249 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:As a last resort to foiling Kurome's vengeance, she convinces Nepgear to shoot her Share Crystal, putting an end to them both. However, she gets revived in the GoldenEnding]]. |
| 250 | * HiddenBuxom: Her human form is bustier than she initially appears, as she reveals in ''[=MegaTagmension=]'' that she binds her chest. This is [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration reflected on her in-game model]] if the player equips her swimsuit, as Uzume has a slightly larger chest. |
| 251 | * HotBlooded: One of Uzume's defining traits is her fierce attitude and hot-headedness. What's the first thing she does when she meets Neptune? [[AttackHello She immediately charges in for a fight]], all the while complimenting Neptune for giving her a run for her money even though she thinks she's an enemy. |
| 252 | * IChooseToStay: When Neptune asks her near the end of the first arc whether or not she wants to leave the Zero Dimension and live with her in the main dimension's Planeptune, this is her response. Justified as her wish is to rebuild her dimension rather than escape to a new one, and apparently having everybody cross over was impossible at that point. |
| 253 | * IconicItem: The Visual Radio that she wears on her wrist. [[spoiler:It's so iconic that it's used when resurrecting Uzume because it acts as proof that she existed along everyone else]]. |
| 254 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: She uses a megaphone as her weapon, attacking by yelling loudly into it. |
| 255 | * InnocentBlueEyes: Her Orange Heart form has light blue eyes that match her bubbly and harmless personality. |
| 256 | * {{Kiai}}: She can unleash all of her power by shouting. Justified as all of her normal attacks involve her creating [[GaleForceSound sound waves emitted from her megaphone by yelling into it]]. |
| 257 | * KindnessButton: She loves being called "cool" (Umio explains that she equates it to being called reliable), and can be convinced to do things she otherwise wouldn't by saying it make her cool, or uncool if she refused. |
| 258 | * LargeHam: As Uzume at least, she really likes to ham things up to emphasize her tough and tomboyish personality. |
| 259 | * LivingOnBorrowedTime: [[spoiler:During the Revival/True End route. She reveals before the final battle that Neptune and Nepgear destroying the crystal in Heart Dimension actually did kill her real body. She's just sticking around thanks to her remaining share reserves so they can beat Kurome for good]]. |
| 260 | * MeaningfulName: Tennoboushi (天王星) or Emperor Star, is the Japanese name for the planet Uranus. "Uzu" is also the Japanese word for "swirl", referencing the Dreamcast logo. |
| 261 | * MoeAnthropomorphism: Of the Platform/{{Dreamcast}}. The white swirl on her tie is clearly a modified version of the Dreamcast logo. |
| 262 | * MsImagination: She has a habit of letting her imagination get the better of her as she goes off on fantastical tangents... [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud often with others in hearing distance]]. |
| 263 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Certain phenomena will occur in her favor when she most needs them, like the Zero Dimension monsters suddenly becoming capable of giving her Share Energy. [[spoiler:This is because of her delusion power]]. |
| 264 | * TheNicknamer: Nearly everyone she meets gets some sort of nickname from her. She calls Neptune and Nepgear as "Nepcchi" and "Geacchi" respectively (Nepsy and Gearsy in the dub). As Orange Heart, she calls her enemies as "Doggie". When she meets Arfoire, she calls her "purple granny." Upon seeing Uni late in the game, Uzume calls her "Unisy". ''VideoGame/MegaTagmensionBlancPlusNeptuneVsZombies'' has her interact with, and nickname, the other [=CPU=]s and Makers: Noiresy, Blancsy, Romsy, Ramsy, Vertsy, Plutsy, Denksy, Famsy, and Tamsy. |
| 265 | * OutOfFocus: Completely absent from the Hyper Dimension G arc. |
| 266 | * PocketDimension: She can create a "Sharing Field", using concentrated Share Energy to form a new space that can trap opponents, which proves essential for fighting the Dark [=CPU=]s, [[spoiler:and especially Kurome's [[SuperMode Dark Orange]] form]]. |
| 267 | * ThePollyanna: Very cheerful and optimistic as Orange Heart, though she occasionally slips into this in her normal form. |
| 268 | * PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: Inverted. Whereas most of the [=CPUs=] voices become lower, Uzume becomes high-pitched when transformed, as her voice was already deep. |
| 269 | * PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Uzume finishes off her opponents with powerful punch that sends them flying after pummeling them with a series of RapidFireFisticuffs during her Dream Combo attack. |
| 270 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: A few of her attacks plus her LimitBreak incorporates this. She'll even shout "[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure ORA!]]" in some of them. |
| 271 | * RealityWarper: Unlike any CPU in the series, she possesses a unique power capable of turning her daydreams into reality. She subconsciously imagines things to become reality, and although it has its limits, her power can create things and arrange events to happen in her favor. It is unable to actually affect fundamental aspects of reality though, such as interdimensional travel. [[spoiler:As it turns out, the reason her power is so potent to begin with is because Zero Dimension is quite literally her ''dream world'' given form. As demonstrated by her original self, Uzume's power functions differently inside the actual Gamindustri]]. |
| 272 | * ShowerShy: She's hesitant to take a bath with Neptune and Nepgear, but [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial it's totally not because she's been taking baths on her own for so long that she's never exposed herself to others]]. |
| 273 | * SplitPersonalityMerge: [[spoiler:During her MirrorMatch with Kurome in the Revival Ending, Umio encourages her to accept her other self's hatred as a part of herself, which she proclaims to have done after reviving, heavily implying that they have returned to a single entity]]. |
| 274 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: She plays more or less the similar role as Plutia in ''Victory'', though their personalities and actual importance to the plot differ greatly. |
| 275 | * SuperScream: Most of her attacks are sound-based. |
| 276 | * SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler:During the 8-bit retelling of the story during the credits, she ultimately forgives Kurome and thanks her for making her strong and letting her meet her friends, before Kurome [[DisappearsIntoLight vanishes in a flash of light]]]]. |
| 277 | * ThisIsADrill: When she uses Dream Smash Fist, Uzume manifests share energy around her right fist in the shape of a drill and punches through her enemies. |
| 278 | * ThirdPersonPerson: As Orange Heart. Uzume sometimes slips into this herself, intentionally or otherwise. |
| 279 | * TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:In Heart Dimension H, she finds out that she used to be a CPU for Planeptune... except she was shunned and forgotten by her people. She doesn't take the revelations very well, especially after she learns that she's not the real Uzume. She is in fact the good conscience of the real Uzume personified]]. |
| 280 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Uzume's normally boyish, but when her "true" self slips in, she becomes just as childish and feminine-like as Orange Heart, something that she tries desperately to hide from the others due to feeling embarrassed by it. |
| 281 | * VersionExclusiveContent: It's impossible to use her in the original Platform/PlaystationVita version of ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', as her DLC was exclusive to the Platform/{{Steam}} version[[note]]She is also included in ''[=reVerse=]'' for Platform/PlayStation5, as is every other formerly-DLC character[[/note]]. |
| 282 | * VibrantOrange: Being based on the Platform/{{Dreamcast}}, Orange Heart's costume and hair is orange and is very cheerful and bubbly |

| 291 | * MoeAnthropomorphism: Implied to be on for PC gaming (and possibly [=PCs=] as a whole). While we never get to see what she truly looks like, one things for certain is that she's [[spoiler:Maho's older sister, representing the relationship between [=PCs=] and smartphones like how handheld consoles are to home consoles]]. |
| 292 | * PoweredByAForsakenChild: [[spoiler:When her continent suffered a Share shortage, she gave up her own Share energy to keep it running, reducing her to a comatose state with her vitals barely functioning]]. |
| 293 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: She doesn't get a single appearance, or even a name, in ''Sisters'', but [[spoiler:Maho's desperation to save her from her coma led to the creation of the IS Crystal that instead revived the Deity of Sin, who proceeded to use the comatose CPU as her vessel for much of the game]]. |

| 305 | |
| 306 | A smartphone-loving girl who was discovered lying on the outskirts of Planeptune with no memories by Anri, an evacuee of the destroyed PC Continent who became her closest friend. She works with Anri to discover the truth about the Trendi Outbreaks ravaging Gamindustri, and befriends the dejected Nepgear who is suffering the loss of her nation and older sister. |
| 307 | |
| 308 | She is actually the CPU Candidate of the PC Continent, Grey Sister. In the prologue of ''Sisters vs Sisters'', she put Nepgear and the other CPU Candidates to sleep for two years. She's also a time traveller, so there's more than one Maho... |
| 309 | ---- |
| 310 | * AmnesiacGod: Maho's actually the PC Continent's CPU Candidate, Grey Sister. The Grey Sister who the Candidates had encountered at the start of the game is this Maho before suffering brain damage from her prolonged stasis, while the Grey Sister met throughout the rest of the game is her past self and alternate timeline self, [[CollectiveIdentity depending on which Maho you're talking about]]. |
| 311 | * BrokenBird: The true Maho of the present has become quite cynical after being forced into her comatose sister's replacement with no opportunity to interact with the world outside her Basilicom. When Arfoire revived, she just submitted to her without a fight, and is fairly nonplussed about becoming her vessel, though she does finally beg for help once Arfoire starts forcing her to absorb more Share Energy than she can handle with the IS Crystal. |
| 312 | * CollectiveIdentity: There are multiple Mahos running about. Four to be exact. Grey Sister is from an alternate timeline where all life has been annihilated by Arfoire, repeatedly moving back through time and creating more timelines in an attempt to finally find a way to kill her. The friendly Maho is Grey Sister's future self, having finally defeated Arfoire after getting blasted 12000 years into the past and having time to seal the CPU candidates in an attempt to save them and set up an ambush for Arfoire before losing her memories to brain damage from spending all those millennia in a cold sleep. The third Maho is the one from the current timeline, and has become fairly nihilistic and sides with Arfoire and replaces the friendly Maho around the time she ends up in the hospital to spy on the group. Finally there is the Bad End's fused Maho, who uses the IS Crystal to drain the world's Shares into herself leaving only just enough to allow Nepgear and the others to stay alive because they're friends who support her. [[ImpliedDeathThreat They do support her, right]]? |
| 313 | %%* ContraltoOfStrength: The serious Grey Sister has a deeper voice than the bubbly Maho, which makes sense due to being an alternate version of the latter from a different timeline. %%doesn’t explain the strength part%% |
| 314 | * DrivenToSuicide: The final chapter reveals this about the nihilistic Maho. There is a red text Mintsubu post in this chapter from "rPhone Girl" that simply states [[GoodbyeCruelWorld "Goodbye me. Sorry sister."]], and she ultimately plans to make use of the friendly Maho to cause a temporal paradox in an attempt to RetGone herself and [[TakingYouWithMe take Arfoire with her]] for what she was made to do to her sister. How well that works out depends on the ending. |
| 315 | * EyeColorChange: When the friendly and nihilistic present day Maho becomes Grey Sister for the first time, her eye color goes from reddish-pink to magenta. |
| 316 | * FormalCharactersUseKeigo: Grey Sister's formal speech is one reason the others found it hard to believe that she was Maho. She explains that she's copying Nepgear, who is also fairly polite. |
| 317 | * FusionDance: The Bad End has this happen between the friendly and nihilistic Mahos as a result of a temporal paradox they caused, with the latter making up the bulk of their combined personality. |
| 318 | * FutureBadass: The Grey Sister seen for most of the game is from a BadFuture; the current Maho doesn't even know how to transform until later on in the game. |
| 319 | * GildedCage: Prior to the collapse of the PC Continent, she and her sister were more or less prisoners in their own Basilicom, unable to interact with anyone outside of a select few officials and even then being forced to keep their identity a secret as it is [[GodsHandsAreTied expected that the CPUs there are almost entirely hands off on matters]] unlike Nepgear’s continent. |
| 320 | * HeroicSacrifice: The friendly and nihilistic Maho decide to [[NeverTheSelvesShallMeet set off a paradox by direct contact]], which will either fuse them into one entity or mutually destroy each other, hoping to take out Arfoire with them. They fuse in the Bad End, but die in the Normal and True End, with Nepgear only managing to save her in the latter by undoing all the events of ''Sisters''. |
| 321 | * {{Irony}}: After her exposition about all her time travelling, Grey Sister warns Maho not to become like her. Grey Sister will in fact become said Maho after getting flung into the distant past and losing her memories to brain damage from putting herself in suspended animation until the present. |
| 322 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Her weapon, which she can throw like a boomerang. |
| 323 | * MeaningfulName: Her name comes from "su'''maho'''", a Japanese abbreviation for "smartphone". |
| 324 | * MoeAnthropomorphism: Of Smartphones (and Mobile gaming as a whole). It's all over the place in her human form, what with a Wi-Fi symbol as a hair ornament, the little buttons on her jacket resembling app screens, having what appears to be phone symbols on her belt, and shoes that have a charger symbol on top of them. |
| 325 | * MyGreatestFailure: She's deeply remorseful for ever creating the IS Crystal at all; what was intended to revive her sister instead revived Arfoire. |
| 326 | * PhlebotinumOverdose: During the final battle, Arfoire has the IS Crystal force enough Share Energy into the current Maho that she involuntarily transforms into Gray Sister, and begins screaming that it's messing up her body. |
| 327 | * PhoneaholicTeenager: Being the personification of the smartphone and mobile gaming as a whole, Maho, who has the appearance of a teen, loves playing on her rPhone and is obsessed with GachaGames. |
| 328 | * PromotedToPlayable: Alongside [[Characters/NeptuniaOthers Anri]], you can recruit Maho and Grey Sister into battle with [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe their weapons]] or in the ''Heartfelt Photo Mode'' in the Nintendo Switch port, something that was not accessible in the original [=PS4=]/[=PS5=] port, despite having 3D models in their boss fights. |
| 329 | * SignificantDoubleCasting: Grey Sister's Japanese voice actress is hidden on the official site for a reason... |
| 330 | * TimeLoopFatigue: She admits to having dealt with this in her attempts to find a way to kill Arfoire, save the [=CPUs=], and keep people in Gamindustri alive. In the various timelines she's been on she's sided directly with the [=CPUs=], she's sided with Arfoire, and when it gets to be too much she's just sat it all out and watched hoping something might be different. This time around, she's trying to just keep both groups apart. |
| 331 | * TrappedInThePast: Her attempt to stop her Arfoire-possessed current self with a [[NeverTheSelvesShallMeet paradox]] results in her getting tossed 12,000 years into the past. She seals herself into the capsule that suffered the same fate back at the Planeptower, leading to the Candidates discovering her in the present. She manages to ambush and kill Arfoire with her shard of Gehaburn before the brain damage from her cold sleep wipes away her memories, becoming the AmnesiacGod Maho who Nepgear and Anri befriend. |
| 332 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: She unintentionally screws up ''a lot''. |
| 333 | ** Due to an imbalance of Shares, [[PoweredByAForsakenChild her older sister is acting as a Share battery for the PC Continent in order to keep everyone there alive]]. In her desperation to save her sister from this fate she unknowingly turns to [=ASIC=] to help develop the Infinite Share Crystal, otherwise known as the IS Crystal, with the intent of using it in her place. Upon its creation [=ASIC=] promptly uses it to revive Arfoire once again, [[KickTheDog using Maho's sister as a vessel]], kicking off the entire plot. |
| 334 | ** In the timeline where Nepgear slays Arfoire with Gehaburn before killing herself, Grey Sister runs her mouth about time travel while oblivious to Arfoire's lingering soul. She hitches a ride to the present, fuses with her current self, and picks up how to time travel herself. |
| 335 | ** She's unintentionally causing the Trendi Outbreaks through her mere existence as a space-time anomaly. |
| 336 | * WalkingSpoiler: Maho is not only Grey Sister, but there's ''three'' of her due to time travel shenanigans. |
| 337 | * WholePlotReference: |
| 338 | ** Her's is one for Anime/DragonBallZTheHistoryOfTrunks and Dragon Ball Super's Future Trunks arc, [[{{Expy}} with her playing the role of Trunks]]. Nepgear and Maho are the last of the [=CPUs=], an infinitely powerful Arfoire hunting them and the last few survivors down. Nepgear ultimately dies in battle with Arfoire while sending Maho back in time, causing her to finally be able to use HDD. Now Grey Sister she attempts to help the main timeline [=CPUs=] avoid this dark future only for things to eventually get so bad due to Arfoire's new power set that the only hope of things getting better is to just delete the entire timeline and hope for the best. |
| 339 | ** Her trying absolutely everything she can imagine in countless time loops to save everyone draws clear parallels to ''VideoGame/DeathEndReQuest'' (another game made by Creator/CompileHeart) as well. |
| 340 | ** Her determination to save her closest friend through constant time loops, cultivating a more serious persona in the process, is similar to [[Characters/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaHomuraAkemi Homura Akemi]] from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. |
| 341 | * {{Unperson}}: Maho's HeroicSacrifice had to be covered up to avoid [[HeroWithBadPublicity tarnishing her legacy]], as all the issues her sacrifice stopped were unintentionally started by her in the first place. |
| 342 | * ValleyGirl: Maho uses so much slang that she isn't always understood. |
| 343 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Grey Sister destroyed the PC Continent CPU's tower, killing Anri's parents along with several other innocent employees, to put a cap on the Shares Arfoire could absorb with the IS Crystal. |
| 344 | * {{Yandere}}: The Bad End has the nihilistic and friendly Maho fuse into a single entity, which changed her way of thinking [[ClingyJealousGirl rather drastically]], deciding to take all the world's Shares for herself with the IS Crystal so she can reign supreme and ensure that nobody gets between her and Nepgear (including Nepgear herself). |
| 345 | * YouAreInCommandNow: The nihilistic Maho was quite frustrated about being her sister's "reserve". |

| 349 | -->'''Debut''': VideoGame/NeptuniaGameMakerREvolution |
| 350 | A trio of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin failure goddesses]] who were banished to obscurity after failing to win in a race for "Market Share". Fortunately, they are saved when [[Characters/NeptuniaMainCPUs Older Neptune]] helps them get their reputation back by being the CEO of Victory. |
| 351 | |
| 352 | [[folder:General Tropes]] |
| 353 | * FollowTheLeader: InUniverse. Jagaa and Reedio consider making their own mini consoles after the releases of Neptune and Nepgear's own. |
| 354 | ** Nepgear's Micro [=NehpGear=] inspires Jagaa to work on a mini console of her own. The giant calculator controller is something she absolutely refuses to budge on though, despite Nepgear informing her that something so large and awkward will likely put people off from buying it. |
| 355 | ** Neptune's Mega Do Dive Mini 2, or more specifically the commercial for it depicting it as a masked wrestler in a tag team match with the Mega Do Dive CD, inspires Reedio to look into making a collaborative combining mini console based on one of her own, along with one of Jagaa and Pippih's. Purple Heart tells her that, personally, she'd love to buy such a thing multiple times, but professionally speaking it would be hard to sell as the systems aren't synergistic like the Mega Do Dive 2 and Mega Do Dive CD were. |
| 356 | * MeaningfulName: The trios names are derived from the consoles their based on: Pippih's is derived from the '''[[Platform/{{Pippin}} Pippi]]'''[[Platform/{{Pippin}} n]], Jagaa's is derived from the Platform/{{Atari|Jaguar}} '''[[Platform/AtariJaguar Jagua]]'''[[Platform/AtariJaguar r]], and Reedio's is derived from the '''[[Platform/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer 3DO]]''' [[Platform/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer Interactive Multiplayer]]. |
| 357 | * MoeAnthropomorphism: The trio represent the 3 failed video game consoles of MediaNotes/{{the fifth generation|OfConsoleVideoGames}}. |
| 358 | ** Pippih is based on the Creator/{{Apple}} Platform/{{Pippin}}. Her IdiotHair is in the style of the Apple logo. |
| 359 | ** Jagaa is based on the Platform/AtariJaguar. Both her boots and the lock on her belt are an upside down version of the Atari logo and her pointed hair buns and "tail" (which is in the style of an USB cable) are akin to a Jaguar. The WolverineClaws she uses in battle are shaped like the system's infamously bulky controller. Even her [[CharacterCatchphrase catchphrase]], "Do the Math!", is a reference to the slogan used by Atari to promote the console. |
| 360 | ** Reedio is based on the Platform/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer. The logo itself (which consists of a red cube, a blue rectangle, and a yellow spear) is referenced on the buttons on her lab coat, the hairpins on her hair, and even the weapons she uses in her Goddess form. |
| 361 | * SignificantNameShift: [[spoiler:After proving themselves reformed and competent enough to not cause another Zaikopath incident, people who know of their history take to calling them the Goddesses of Victory instead of the Failure Goddesses]]. |
| 362 | * SoBadItsGood: InUniverse, the unnamed game of theirs that Older Neptune finds is ''horrible'', and among the many things they did to be called Failure Goddesses, and yet it's also one of the most entertaining things she's ever played due to the sheer number of absurd glitches. Victory's first task is to take that game and fix it up so it's actually good instead and eventually sees release as Nep-Beat and proves to be a massive success for the company. |
| 363 | * UnusualHalo: The Failure Goddesses are given halos in their Goddess forms that are designed differently from a traditional halo: |
| 364 | ** Goddess form Pippih has a yellow halo with a "P" in the middle. |
| 365 | ** Goddess form Jagaa has a red halo that is shaped like an eye. |
| 366 | ** Goddess form Reedio has a ''square'' halo with an inconsistent color scheme. |
| 367 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: This is the real reason they're known as Failure Goddesses. [[spoiler:The sheer amount of garbage games they produced gave rise to the Zaikopath, an EldritchAbomination formed from negative energy that threatened the world's very existence until it was sealed away. This also lead to the creation of their world's version of the Gold Third, who strictly regulate who, what, and where in regards to both the creation and distribution of games and consoles in order to prevent both the creation of a second Zaikopath and the unsealing of the one that already exists]]. |

| 376 | |
| 377 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoNatsuyoshi (Japanese), Creator/DeneenMelody (English) |
| 378 | Victory's Producer. Pippih is a somewhat haughty young girl that hopes to one day make games so amazing that she'll unify the world, if only she had the confidence to back that up at the slightest sign of resistance. |
| 379 | ---- |
| 380 | * BattleBoomerang: One of her weapons in both human and Goddess form is a boomerang that can also change into a bow and arrow. |
| 381 | * TheFinalTemptation: With a special anniversary coming up for the Pundam franchise, B-Sha looks into getting Pippih's help putting her old Pundam games in a compilation release. Pippih, however, had been planning to make her own mini console and include those games on it as a sure way to sell the system. While the situation didn't start out as a planned temptation, since B-Sha didn't know about the planned mini console, she was quick to try to offer almost any sum of money, especially ones that would realistically surpass what Pippih's console would make given the original's utter failure, to ensure her own project was as successful as possible. Pippih ultimately refuses to budge any further than "I release my mini console, with those games, first, then you can add them to the compilation", and admits to the Older Neptune that without her influence she probably would've caved at B-Sha's first offer rather than stand up for herself like that. |
| 382 | * GoodWearsWhite: A portion of her outfit is white, and she's one of the main heroines of the game. Her Goddess form is entirely white as well. |
| 383 | * IdiotHair: Pippih has a small string on the top of her hair that is in the style of the Apple logo. The color of her string can change depending on her form (orange in human form; light green in Goddess form) |
| 384 | * InconsistentSpelling: The spelling given for her name in the Japanese OST and in game BGM selection is "Pippihi". |
| 385 | * LightIsGood: In addition to wearing [[GoodWearsWhite white clothing]], her Goddess form is made up of bright colors -- the yellow UnusualHalo on the top of her head, the light green wings on her back, and the left side of her hair being light peach. Additionally, the wings and halo on her design resemble that of an angel. |
| 386 | * PenName: She uses "Pippih-P" as an alias. |
| 387 | * PerformanceAnxiety: While in Lastation attempting to advertise Victory's AAA game Mushikaiser, she's offered the chance to be on a talkshow debating against F-Sha about their competition with her game Elel Ring. She's absolutely confident in how she'll handle it, right up until rehersal where she was unable to say a single thing and reduced to a panicked blubbering mess clinging to Reedio. |
| 388 | * RecursiveReality: She ends up dreaming of one after a long session of playing Zombie Hazard. In the dream she works with C-Sha to find the source of a zombie outbreak, only to stumble upon another Pippih playing a game where she's working with C-Sha to find the source of a zombie outbreak, only to to stumble up on another Pippih playing a game where she's working with C-Sha to find the source of a zombie outbreak, and so on until she snaps awake. She thinks it'd make a great game and goes to write it down, only to forget what the dream was. |
| 389 | * RepetitiveName: Her constant use of "Pippih-P" ends up messing with Older Neptune, who ends up calling her Pippippih-P when attempting to use the PenName instead of just "Pippih". Sleep deprivation from the development of Mushikaiser ends up taking it to [[OverlyLongGag an exaggerated level with nearly ten full seconds and seventeen "Pi"s]] worth of repetition. |
| 390 | -->'''Neptune:''' "You really need to wake up. Hey! Pippih. Pippih-P. Pippippih-P. Pippippippippippippih-P." |
| 391 | * TokenMiniMoe: She is noticeably shorter and more petite than her two friends, Jagaa and Reedio. |
| 392 | * TokenWholesome: While all of the Goddesses, of this game and the previous games, are given a LeotardOfPower when transformed, Pippih's Goddess form retains the skirt she had in human form. |
| 393 | * TooDesperateToBePicky: How desperate is she to have Mushikaiser outperform F-Sha's Elel Ring? She blatantly exploits her status as the group's TokenMiniMoe and Vert's desire for a little sister in order to get an edge in Leanbox. ''This is a character based on an Apple product fully willing to submit to a character based on a Microsoft product in order to sell more games.'' [[spoiler:Blanc does step in and shut the two down, telling Vert that Goddesses can not be playing favorites for any reason, but Pippih really was that desperate]]. |

| 401 | [[quoteright:250:[[labelnote:Goddess form]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jagaa_goddess.png]][[/labelnote]] |
| 402 | |
| 403 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Satsuki Miyahara (Japanese), Creator/DawnMBennett (English) |
| 404 | |
| 405 | Victory's Director and Head of PR. Jagaa has an obsession with calculation, despite being fairly bad at it herself, as well as frequently and excessively shortening words and phrases down to a mere three letters. On the other hand, she has an uncanny knack for picking up on the little things others miss. |
| 406 | ---- |
| 407 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Her hair is colored black with some white streaks overlaying it. She's also presented as being cool, calm, and (mostly) serious compared to the rest of the Failure Goddesses. |
| 408 | * BoyishShortHair: Jagaa is a stoic tomboy with a short black and white haircut that turns blonde when transformed. |
| 409 | * CatGirl: While not actual cat ears and a tail, her pointed hair buns and USB cable "tail" invokes this, appropiate for a character based on [[Platform/AtariJaguar a feline-named console]]. |
| 410 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "[[GratuitousEnglish Do the Math!]]", a reference to the console's slogan, as well as various phrases making use of "calculation". |
| 411 | * ComplexityAddiction: She's prone to shortening phrases in ways that require more effort and explanation than just speaking normally would to have people understand her. |
| 412 | ** One early example is "MDN". After Older Neptune presses her on what that means she explains it as "being short for 'Mon. Dai. Nai.' as in '問題ない'" (mondainai, literally "no problem"), only for Neptune to point out most people would just say it normally, as she did at the end, "No Problem" or "NP". |
| 413 | ** Another example is when she claims that failure when developing a AAA game will result in DAD. The logic behind that statement given is "DAD = Daddy = パパ (Papa) = 父さん (Tousan/Father) = 倒産 (Tousan/Bankruptcy)". |
| 414 | * DarkIsNotEvil: The colors of her outfit and weapon in both human and Goddess form are made up of [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver black with red highlights]], but she's on the side of good and is really a kind-hearted and somewhat shy girl behind her aloofness. |
| 415 | * ExpositoryPronoun: She is the most boyish of the three Failure Goddesses. Fittingly, she refers to herself with the masculine pronoun "boku" in the Japanese release. |
| 416 | * {{Foil}}: She serves as one across the series as a whole to [[spoiler:[[Characters/NeptuniaAntagonists Rei]]]]. Both characters are based on Atari consoles, they both have some self esteem issues stemming from [[spoiler: the destruction caused by their own incompetence]], and both have a heavy emphasis on black in both human and Goddess forms. Jagaa, however, retains her sanity while transformed and is firmly on the good side of things while her counterpart goes mad while transformed which leaves her in an antagonistic position. |
| 417 | * GratuitousEnglish: Her "Do the math!" [[CharacterCatchphrase Catchphrase]] is spoken in English even in the Japanese version. She also tends to make use of other bits of English from time to time as well, or even Roman characters for Japanese terms, to the confusion of other characters. Despite the apparent randomness of its use, some of her trains of thought [[BilingualBonus require knowledge of both English and Japanese to completely follow]].[[note]]This could be likely a reference over the fact that, unlike the Pippin, the console Pippih is based of, was made in the United States and was only sold in western countries, had never being released in Japan outside import stores there. Curiously enough, Reedio, despite being based in the 3DO, another American-made console, mostly avoids this, partly because that, unlike the Jaguar, the 3DO did got a Japanese release and also got Japanese-made games.[[/note]] |
| 418 | * InsistentTerminology: One of the few times she ever gets angry is when Copy the Code mocks her "cat ear hairdo". Her hair is not styled to look like cat ears, it's styled to look like ''panther'' ears. |
| 419 | * NavelWindow: Jagaa's outfit in both human and Goddess form exposes the lower part of her abdomen. |
| 420 | * PurelyAestheticGlasses: She tends to put on glasses whenever she's [[SmartPeopleWearGlasses trying to sound smart]]. Her glasses can even be equipped by a toggle on her outfit, similarly to how other characters can remove their hats and hairclips. |
| 421 | * SimpleMindedWisdom: While nowhere near as intelligent as she believes herself to be, she's surprisingly sharp in situations that don't require math. She's even the first to figure out how information kept leaking from just about every group. [[spoiler:Being too busy working to cook, everyone would often just get food delivered to their offices granting [[TheDogWasTheMastermind the NuberEats delivery man]] frequent access to countless employees' idle chatter about what is being developed by any given company]]. She's also the first to notice that [[spoiler:Arfoire's tower didn't just pop up overnight. [[YearOutsideHourInside The few hours they spent rescuing people from inside the Immersion-kun [=ProMAX=] allowed months to pass]] with Victory, the First Makers, Second Sisters, and Gold Third all out of the picture. She figured it out from the [[NewspaperDating date on manga that she had been following]]]]. |
| 422 | * TheStoic: Downplayed. She's a cool-headed girl who [[TheQuietOne doesn't talk that often]], but proclaims to be "good at math" despite [[KnowNothingKnowItAll being actually terrible at it]] in reference to how the Atari Jaguar promoted itself. |
| 423 | * YouWillNotEvadeMe: Her Stab Draw skill launches one of her claws out with a midrange chain to pull an enemy in toward her to compensate for her otherwise extremely close range attacks. |
| 424 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She can't stand bugs nor ghosts at all. Not even talking about them. When Older Neptune tries to show off some of her bug collection, or a conversation turns to ghosts, she goes silent only for the others to finally notice her absence and find her standing around passed out from fear off to the side. |

| 433 | |
| 434 | -->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HinaYomiya (Japanese), Cat Protano (English) |
| 435 | Victory's Lead Programmer and Graphics Designer. In her spare time she's also an inventor, with Older Neptune's bike being the most mundane thing she's ever made thanks to the others forcing her to keep it simple. Despite her intelligence she's easily the most childish of the trio in terms of personality, constantly seeking new stimuli rather than staying focused and having a tendancy to slip out subtle mockery toward anything that annoys her. |
| 436 | ---- |
| 437 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Reedio is right up there with Compa among the biggest sweethearts in the series. That does not stop her from [[spoiler:transferring the Pirate Makers to her own private server for her Immersion-kun [=ProMAX=] in retaliation for them using it to abduct people. [[AndIMustScream They hacked the game to make themselves immortal while within it, and she has absolutely no intention of ever allowing them to leave]]]]. |
| 438 | * CooldownHug: After being exposed to a [[HatePlague cursed game disk that leaves Ram and Rom prone to going berserk over the slightest annoyance]], the first time it happens was due to getting more than one tissue out of a box when they just needed one, Reedio regularly ends up subjecting the two to one of these until they calm down. According to Jagaa, she also did this to Pippih regularly in the past as well. |
| 439 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Her Goddess form consists of a black [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine midriff]], and while she's given a more flirtatious personality, she's still unambiguously heroic. |
| 440 | * DualityMotif: Her Goddess form has a mismatched color scheme. The small rectangles on her leotard are colored red and green on each side (e.g. the green rectangle is seen on her left leg, lower torso, and underboob, while the red rectangle is seen on her right leg, lower torso, and underboob). Her eyes are also colored red and green on each side (red on the right; green on the left). The left side of her wings are colored blue at the top and pink at the bottom, while the right side as the top be colored pink and the bottom be colored blue. |
| 441 | * GoodWearsWhite: Reedio wears a white lab coat, shorts and socks, and is also one of the main heroines of the game. |
| 442 | * InsideAComputerSystem: She once tried to make a game system that went beyond VR, the Immersion-kun [=ProMAX=], but some [[TrappedInAnotherWorld technical difficulties]] ended up getting that project shelved. [[spoiler:Naturally when people, including the Gold Third, suddenly start going missing it turns out somebody has continued work on it and started distributing it]]. |
| 443 | * MadLibsCatchphrase: "[[GratuitousEnglish It's a [description] experience!]]". Usually the word is "new", but she may swap it out for something more fitting in some situations such as "good", "bad", or "counter-attack". |
| 444 | * MadScientist: A downplayed example. She's depicted as a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} wearing a white lab coat. Her official bio even states that she's a "mad scientist who spews venom with a smile". Despite this, she poses no ill-will towards anyone and most of her experiments are created to help others rather than hurt them. |
| 445 | * TomboyishPonytail: Reedio has a messy ponytail that is tied in a hairpin. This is used to coincide with her quirky scientist personality. |
| 446 | * TongueOutInsult: She'll occasionally stick her tongue out while mocking people. She also does this at the end of her [[LimitBreak Buster Blaster EXE Drive]]. |
