16	Fuka is the main character of ''[=ViVid=] Strike''. As a child she grew up in an orphanage alongside her best friend Rinne Berlinetta. After Rinne was adopted by a rich family their friendship fell apart. Einhart ends up taking her under her wing to teach her martial arts.
17	----
18	* AffectionateNickname: "Fu-chan" by Rinne. Even after their falling-out, Rinne still calls her by this privately.
19	* AggressiveCategorism: Having grown up as an orphan, she has developed a strong distaste for the upper class. While this generally applies to anyone who looks down on her because of her background, she specifically dislikes them due to Rinne's drastic change in personality ever since she was taken in by the Berlinettas. She slowly starts to get better through interacting with Team Nakajima, but she was still hostile at first after realizing they went to a "rich girls' school".
20	-->"I don't think you rich girls understand how us commoners struggle to live each day."
21	* TheApprentice: To Einhart, being the first practitioner of Kaiser Arts who is not a member of Shutra's royal family.
22	* BlueWithShock: Goes like this when Nove tells her to [[TrainingFromHell remember her training]] in the next episode preview at the end of episode 10, and she's still freaking out at the end of episode 11.
23	* BreastExpansion: {{Subverted\|Trope}}. In contrast to Vivio, Einhart and Rinne, who get bustier in their respective Adult Forms, Fuka's OlderAlterEgo is fairly petite as shown when she briefly [[NakedPeopleAreFunny ends up naked]].
24	* ButNotTooForeign: Averted. Fuka is the first main character in the franchise to not be at least tangentially Japanese. Nanoha herself in 100% Japanese, and while Subaru, Vivio, and Thoma are all HumanAliens, they were all adopted (or set to be adopted in Thoma's case) into families with Japanese ancestry.
25	* CloseRangeCombatant: Fuka is strictly trained in hand-to-hand combat, and what little magic she knows is limited to body enhancement. While the Kaiser Arts do have ranged options (particularly CatchAndReturn), she isn't skilled enough to perform them.
26	* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Vivio is cheerful, loves martial arts, and has grown up in a loving two-mother family. By contrast, Fuka hates martial arts, is somewhat cynical, and grew up an orphan. Also, Vivio is WeakButSkilled while Fuka is UnskilledButStrong.
27	* CrashIntoHello: A non-romantic variant. Her first meeting with Einhart was to try to punch her face before fainting due to her injuries.
28	* CurbStompBattle:
29	** A flashback showed that she got beat up by Rinne after a disagreement that ultimately broke their friendship. She also suffered this from each member of Team Nakajima sans Einhart (Vivio, Rio, Corona, and Miura) during a sparring match.
30	** She gets to deliver one during her first tournament match when she takes down her opponent in only four hits.
31	** Her fight with Rinne has her get the upper hand for the majority, and ends it by overpowering her friend's own attack to take the win.
32	* CuteKitten: Her device, Huracan, is a whitish kitten, similar in appearance to Einhart's Asteion.
33	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Inverted. Rinne beating her was the final straw that ''broke'' their friendship.
34	* {{Delinquent\|s}}: She frequently gets into scraps with entire gangs due to her violent temper and subsequently gets into trouble with the police. As a loner orphan, this did not help her living condition as she's been kicked out from various jobs and from her orphanage due to all the trouble she causes.
35	-->"You guys started the fist fight! Who says I can't punch back?!"
36	* ElementalPunch: Her fighting style seems to revolve around gathering magic around her hands and feet to augment her attack power.
37	* {{Expy}}: Oddly, Fuka shares some traits with Sankt Kaiser Olivie Saegebrecht, having humble beginnings[[note]]In Olivie's case, she was the last in line for the throne, and practically disinherited by her clan by being sent to Shutra as a political hostage[[/note]], being fairly optimistic despite all the hardships she had gone through, and is the pupil of a powerful fighter.
38	** Even weirder, she appears to be one of Hayate. Brown Hair? Check. Yellow Hair decorations on the left side? Check. Orphan in a series where everyone and their mother is HappilyAdopted? Check. Indirect connection to Ancient Belka? Check. Has a close emotional bond with a white haired girl with sad eyes? Check. Two of the friends she makes in her introductory season are a gifted redhead from an ordinary background and a blonde clone? Check. Fuses with her device in combat? Check. Name meaning wind? ''Check''.[[note]]While Fuka's name doesn't actually have any meaning (being written in katakana), one of the possible spellings in Kanji translates to "Wind Flower". Plus, Huracan is the Spanish word for hurricane.[[/note]]
39	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first scenes we see of Fuka involve her getting into scrapes and street fights to protect her friends and co-workers, demonstrating her potential for proper fights tempered by a lack of training to fully make use of her talents.
40	* FashionableAsymmetry: Her Barrier Jacket has two criss-crossing bands over her left leg.
41	* {{Foil}}: To two characters:
42	** Fate: They were both close to someone when younger, only for them to be disconnected later in life. However, where Fate was the first main rival and "girl with sad eyes" of the franchise, Fuka is the hero who desires to help set her rival straight, like Nanoha.
43	** Rinne: Unlike Rinne, Fuka grew up constantly switching part-time jobs (and thus lodging) due to getting into a lot of street fights, and also initially hated martial arts and rich people due to their apparently negative influence on Rinne. However, it was through her interaction with affluent but kind people at the Nakajima Gym that she becomes more understanding of them, and eventually grew to love martial arts not only because it gave her a stable means of income, but also a healthy outlet for her innate talents, as well as, above all, new friends... which is the complete opposite of Rinne's situation: bullied, friendless, and secretly loathing of her sport. Their contrast also reflects on their fighting style: in contrast to Rinne's brute force, Fuka has a refined, technique-oriented style.
44	* TheGift: Vivio noted early on that she had a body made for fighting and Sieglinde called her fists "a Gift from God". After only four months of training, she was able to fight on equal grounds with [[TheAce Rinne]] (though Rinne was an emotional mess at the time).
45	* GroinAttack: When introduced as a young girl, defending Rinne from bullies, Fuuka kicks one of the bullies in the crotch.
46	* HatesRichPeople: Fuka has developed intense hatred towards wealthy folks for being the reason behind the change in Rinne's personality after getting adopted, though she grows out of it as the season goes on.
47	--> '''Fuka:''' I don't think you rich girls understand how us commoners struggle to live each day.
48	* HomelessHero: Unlike previous, fairly well-off protagonists of the ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' franchise, she's an orphan who had not been adopted, and thus has to work odd jobs just to have a place to live in especially since she can't stay at her orphanage anymore [[{{Delinquents}} due to all the trouble she causes]]. Nove was able to convince her to work at her gym when she mentions that she'd have free food and lodging.
49	* IronicEcho: In Episode 1, the bullies tormented her and Rinne caused her to lose a tooth as seen when she gave Rinne a smile. In Episode 11, she spits out two of her teeth after Rinne hits her with a MegatonPunch.
50	* IronicName: She's probably [[HomelessHero the single poorest named character]] in the entire ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' franchise, yet she's named after one of the most expensive cars that Lamborghini ever produced.
51	* JackOfAllTrades: While it's clearly unrefined due to only have four months of training, Fuka has learned from all the members of Team Nakajima, having practice in both Kaiser arts and Strike Arts. Both Rinne and Sieglinde noted that she'll be an incredibly skilled martial artist once she gets more time to train.
52	* MadeOfIron: She recovers from being struck in the head with an iron pipe without any severe brain damage or memory loss in Episode 1.
53	** Demonstrates this trope again in Episode 11. [[spoiler: According to Jill in the flashback, with all of Rinne's muscles working in perfect unison for [[MegatonPunch the strike she delivered]], [[BlasphemousBoast even]] ''[[BlasphemousBoast God]]'' [[BlasphemousBoast would be destroyed by her fist]]. Harry wasn't even sure if Fuuka was ''alive'' after it connected...but she was back on her feet within moments, minus a few teeth.]]
54	* MegatonPunch: The first technique she learns is Einhart's Dankuuken.
55	* MyGreatestFailure: She feels she failed to save her friendship with Rinne, let alone keep her from being the kind of person they used to despise -- rich, but heartless -- when they were young.
56	* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Happens during her first attempt at [[OlderAlterEgo Adult Mode]] with assistance from Corona and Yumina. While they were able to successfully age up her's body, they weren't able to do so with her training clothes, which proceeded to dissolve into their component magic particles under the strain. Cue Fuka running off in embarrassment [[SceneryCensor with only a trail of residual magic particles covering her no-no parts]].
57	* TheNicknamer: She tends to shorten the names of people around her, even those with already short names, appendaged with "-san", addressing Einhart as "Haru", "Vivi" to Vivio, "Yumi" to Yumina, and "Miu" to Miura. She also used to refer to the younger members of the Nakajima Gym as "shorties", but seemed to have dropped this altogether as she got to know them better.
58	* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: A benevolent example. Einhart and Nove entices her into working at the Nakajima Gym with free food and lodging after Fuka initially refuses their first attempt. On one hand, they point out how she needed the money to support her orphanage after losing her last job due to her delinquency; on the other hand, Einhart genuinely saw potential in Fuka and wanted to take her under her wing.
59	* OlderAlterEgo: In Episode 2 she learns how to use Adult Mode.
60	* ParentalAbandonment: She grew up in an orphanage, and no mention is ever made of what happened to her parents. Unlike most orphans in the series, she doesn't end up getting adopted (she does live with Nove, but their relationship never officially makes the jump to parent and child).
61	* QuitYourWhining: She does this to Rinne during their match, angrily denouncing her decision to quit after two defeats as selfish. After working out all her anger and frustration with Rinne, she does get somewhat more conciliatory later on in the match.
62	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She gives one to Rinne during their match after shrugging off one of Rinne's attacks.
63	-->'''Fuuka''': Compared to what I expected, you're... weak! ''(counterattacks and sends Rinne flying)'' Get up, Rinne! Even though you show contempt for others, you immediately give up when things get rough for you. I'm gonna destroy that rotten attitude of yours!
64	* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Rinne's Red. Despite seemingly being the more brash and tomboyish of the two, her time under Einhart's tutelage has revealed her thoughtful and calm side, and it has since reflected on her refined fighting style.
65	* SupportingProtagonist: Much like how Nanoha was the lead and Fate was the focus back in the first season, she's the lead and Rinne is the focus.
66	* TastesLikeFriendship: Her friendship with Rinne started when Rinne offered to give her a treat she'd been saving.
67	* TomboyishPonytail: How she wears her hair, providing a butch contrast to Rinne's ladylike grace.
68	* TookALevelInBadass: The first we see of Fuka, she's getting into delinquent fights, once badly lost a fight to Rinne, and was easily trashed by members of the Nakajima Gym. After training at the Nakajima Gym, she's become a fighter worthy of going against Einhart herself. [[spoiler: Episode 9 shows how much Fuka has grown as a fighter when she's able to shrug off Rinne's attacks and send her flying with one well-placed [[MegatonPunch Dankuuken]] during their rematch.]]
69	* UnderdogsNeverLose:
70	** Despite only having four months of formal martial arts training, Fuka makes it to the finals in her first tournament. Partially justified due to a quirk of the seeding - all the ranked veterans were seeded in the same block and the winner dropped out due to injuries.
71	** It's completely averted otherwise. Almost every time she faces someone with actual experience, [[CurbStompBattle it goes about as well as you'd expect]], and her only two victories were due to handicaps in her favor (Corona was limiting herself strictly to close range combat and Rinne was on the verge of an emotional breakdown).
72	* UnderestimatingBadassery: She thought that acting as a sparring partner for Vivio, Corona, Rio and Miura would be easy. Cue four [[CurbStompBattle Curb-Stomp Battles]] in a row.
73	* UnskilledButStrong: Fuka is both strong and tough enough to be able to hold her own against a gang of thugs, even managing to beat them up after taking a steel pipe to the head and being curb-stomped, and Einhart notes how strong her punch were when they first met. However, she lacked technique, [[CurbStompBattle leading to her getting her ass handed to her four times by Team Nakajima]]. She has since improved on her style after some training under Einhart.
74	* VehicularThemeNaming: Named after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Revent%C3%B3n Lamborghini Reventón]]. Her device is named after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Hurac%C3%A1n Lamborghini Huracán]].
75	* WarriorTherapist: In true ''Nanoha'' fashion, she spends most of her fight with Rinne telling her exactly why her world view is messed up and the best way to fix it. That said, she's not very good at it.
76	* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Rinne. They had a falling out after Rinne's adoption, but she hasn't given up on reconciliation.
77	-->"If you want to be someone who snubs and hurts others... if you can smile while doing that, then I have no right to say anything. But I don't think that's true. That's why I'm here again now."
78	* YoungerMentorOlderDisciple: While she is primarily Einhart's student, Fuka does receive some training from Vivio, Rio, and Corona (who are all younger than her).

87
88	Fuka's {{Childhood Friend\|s}} until they had a falling out after she got adopted to the Berlinetta family. Formerly a gentle and sweet girl, certain circumstances after her adoption had changed her into an aloof and distant girl. She's also a martial arts practitioner and currently ranked 1st in the U-15 world rankings (she wins the championship title in the 3rd OVA after Einhart graduates to the U-19 division). Her only loss among her first 58 fights is to Vivio.
89	----
90	* TenMinuteRetirement: [[spoiler: After losing to Vivio for the second time, she retires from martial arts since it's bringing her nothing but pain. Einhart convinces her to come back by offering her a chance at the championship title if she keeps her promise to fight Fuka.]]
91	* ActionFashionista: Justified. Her adoptive parents are fashion moguls, so her device is based on the jewelry they sell, and her Barrier Jacket was made by fashion designers.
92	* AffectionateNickname: Called Fuka "Fu-chan", and still does long after their falling-out.
93	* ArrogantKungFuGuy: A downplayed example. Rinne's answer to interview questions about her matches are typical "lip service" statements (her opponents being good fighters, the match was great, etc.), but as Fuka notes, she has the look of disdain. In fact, their falling-out was triggered after Rinne described the recently-defeated Lyra as being "out-of-shape" and "weak", to which Fuka took offense, thinking she was insulting Lyra's efforts. Her greatest flaw is her inability to wrap her mind around the idea that people statistically weaker than her can be just as much of a {{Determinator}} as her. Thus, her loss to Vivio has haunted her ever since, more so [[spoiler: after their rematch]].
94	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Gets one from Vivio during their rematch in episode 8.
95	-->'''Vivio:''' Rinne-san, you don't really like martial arts, do you?
96	* AttackAttackAttack: Rinne's style is basically "hit foe until her defense breaks, then hit her some more until she breaks". During Episode 3, Miura notes that aside from the first hit, Rinne did not have any clean hits. This also explains why she lost to Vivio's dodge-and-counter tactics during their first encounter. Their rematch in Episode 8 escalates it into [[TheBerserker full berserker territory]] as after Vivio lands a clean hit on her face, she shrugs it off and gives Vivio a flurry of devastating blows, all while looking like a woman possessed. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for her, this became her undoing anew after Vivio not only refused to go down but mustered enough willpower to knock her out.]]
97	** [[spoiler: In episode 9, she employs an all-offense tactic against Fuka during their rematch, managing to send her flying with a series of powerful strikes, seemingly ending the match quicker than expected. Fuka not only comes out of the attack seemingly undamaged, but she manages to land a well-placed [[MegatonPunch Dankuuken]] on Rinne.]]
98	* BeneathTheMask: Rinne may present herself in the public as a stoic, no-nonsense fighter intent on becoming the strongest there is, but underneath this façade lies a mess of anger management issues, fear of losing everyone close to her, and [[spoiler:self-loathing.]]
99	* BewareTheQuietOnes: As a child she was a ShrinkingViolet. Then some bullies at school started picking on her [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye and denied her the chance to say goodbye to her beloved grandfather]]. Cue NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.
100	* BloodSplatteredWarrior: After the beatdown Rinne gives the bullies in Episode 4, the camera slowly moves up to reveal her victims' blood on her clothes and her face. She also gets some of Miura's blood on her face after their match.
101	* BloodUpgrade: During her second fight with Vivio, she doesn't make any sort of headway against her until a shot to the face causes her to bleed from the mouth. [[spoiler: It's not enough to save her, though.]]
102	* BrokenAce: She may be one of the best fighters in the world, able to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Vivio and Miura, but her history of bullying has left her psychologically scarred, and inadvertently ruining her friendship with Fuka has done her no favors.
103	* BullyHunter: [[TheDogBitesBack Specifically sought out the three girls who bullied her to deliver vengeance.]]
104	* CantCatchUp: Not only did Vivio break her 58-win streak, but in their rematch, [[spoiler: she still can't beat her even after all the training she's had ever since. Needless to say, she does ''not'' take this very well]].
105	* CallingParentsByTheirName: Rinne briefly refers to her adoptive parents as "Dan-san and Lori-san" in her thoughts as she's considering parting ways with them and returning to the orphanage. It isn't out of disrespect, but a belief that she doesn't deserve to be with them, after brutally beating up her bullies and thus damaging her family's reputation.
106	* CameBackStrong: The third OVA implies that Fuka and Vivio will not be able to repeat their victories over Rinne now that the latter has sorted out her emotional baggage and started a new training regime with Jill. Case in point: where were they when Rinne seized the U-15 championship?
107	* CurbStompBattle: Delivered one to Fuka after a disagreement that ultimately broke their friendship. A video of her fight also ended with her winning in one round. Also ends up on the receving end twice as well- Once by Vivio during their match, and later on by Fuka when the two fight.
108	* DarkAndTroubledPast: As a child, she was picked on for being a poor orphan, and it only got worse after she started attending school and others found out that she was adopted. Her inability to keep her adoptive grandfather's keepsake safe, let alone to arrive in time to see him on his deathbed after being knocked out by bullies was the final straw that turned her into a cold-hearted fighter.
109	* DarkMagicalGirl: Played with. Unlike most characters under this trope, Rinne actually has a previous connection with her MagicalGirl counterpart (being ChildhoodFriends) and [[HappilyAdopted her family]] is the one part of her life that ''isn't'' messed up. She also isn't working for evil forces, and is instead driven by the fear of not being strong enough to protect her loved ones.
110	* DeadGuyJunior: Not her, but her device Scuderia is named and modeled after her late grandfather's keepsake, which she couldn't save from being damaged.
111	* DeathGlare:
112	** Gives a very chilling one before she inflicts the NoHoldsBarredBeatdown mentioned below.
113	** She also gives one to the thug who kidnapped her while telling him that his sister lied to him.
114	* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Vivio was the first person to beat her after 57 consecutive wins. In their rematch, [[spoiler: Vivio goes two for two, not only proving that the first one wasn't just a fluke, but does so with a knockout]].
115	* {{Determinator}}: Rinne has endured [[TrainingFromHell hellish training]] to become what she is as a fighter, and aside from her natural physical resilience, she also has the mental fortitude to endure devastating blows.
116	* TheDogBitesBack: When Rinne was sent to school, she was bullied mercilessly by a trio of {{Rich\|Bitch}} [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bitches]] but resolved to tolerate their abuse in the hopes that they would eventually leave her alone. However, after the three of them damaged her grandfather's tiepin and knocked her out, thus preventing her from seeing him again when he suddenly suffered a fatal heart attack, Rinne returned to school the next day and beat them up to within an inch of their lives.
117	* DramaticIrony: Her desire to get stronger out of fear that she'll lose everyone she cares about ended up alienating her from everyone else, including her ChildhoodFriend.
118	* EntertaininglyWrong: She thinks Vivio was [[SpoiledBrat spoon-fed since birth]], unaware that Vivio was also adopted[[note]]Depending on when Nanoha filed the paperwork, it's entirely possible that they were adopted the same year[[/note]], let alone her involvement in the Jail Scaglietti Incident.
119	* {{Expy}}: Her backstory and motivation, as well as having a similar appearance and white colored motif, makes Rinne one to Claus Ingvalt. Also, her only loss was from the ''clone'' of Olivie herself.
120	* FlowerMotifs: A [[SomethingAboutARose red rose]] can be seen during her TransformationSequence, and her magic takes the form of thorny vines when applying her Barrier Jacket.
121	* {{Foil}}: To four characters:
122	** Vivio: Both had been adopted into loving families (at roughly the same time) and strove to become strong in order to protect their loved ones. Both also had devices based off gifts from their adoptive mothers which were damaged during traumatic incidents from the past ([[FireWaterJuxtaposition Vivio's bunny doll was burned, while Rinne's Scuderia was thrown into a toilet]]). But that was as far as their similarities go. In terms of their background, Vivio was a guinea pig of Jail Scaglietti before her adoption by Nanoha and Fate allowed her to meet friends; by contrast, Rinne used to be friends with Fuka until her adoption by the Berlinettas unintentionally subjected her to harsher bullying than when she was a street kid. With regards to martial arts, Vivio loves it but is also less into it to grow strong than to simply have fun and friends, while Rinne obsesses over being strong despite the resulting loneliness and her secret loathing of her sport. Finally, in terms of combat, Vivio is nowhere near Rinne's levels of physical and magical prowess, but nevertheless compensates for it with speed, technique and intellect, whereas Rinne simply relies on her strengths to steamroll her opposition.
123	** Nanoha: Both had loving families and are grateful for it. But where Nanoha is the heroine who in the original series strove to save Fate, Rinne is this season's rival and "girl with sad eyes" who is in need of saving by Fuka.
124	** Fuka: Rinne was adopted into the Berlinettas, only to be subjected to very harsh bullying at school, with one incident (coinciding with her adoptive grandfather Roy's death) becoming the last straw that drove her obsession with becoming strong, to the point of taking up martial arts -- despite her secret loathing -- where she became notorious for her brutal, destructive fighting style... which is the complete opposite of Fuka's situation: happy, beloved, and passionate about martial arts, sporting a refined, technique-oriented style.
125	** Einhart: Both are their respective debut series "girl with the sad eyes" and are trying to get stronger for their own reasons. Where Einhart is trying to get strength to prove the power of the Kaiser Arts due to inherited memories from Claus, Rinne's trying to get stronger so she can protect the things that are important to her.
126	* TheGift: Even at such a young age, Rinne's physical and magical capabilities rival those of national athletes, and Jill touts her as a once-a-century talent. She makes full use of her natural gifts to deliver [[CurbStompBattle brutal beatdowns on her opponents]].
127	* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: An [[TheOjou Ojou]] via adoption, and both her casual outfit and Barrier Jacket heavily feature the color purple.
128	* HappilyAdopted: First played straight, then zig-zagged. She was adopted into a loving family, but was then bullied at school, with one incident in particular turning her into a cold-hearted power-seeker, with the only times she ever smiles genuinely being in the company of her family and/or reminiscing over Roy.
129	* HeroicBSOD: Goes into one after [[spoiler:Vivio beats her for the second time]].
130	* HopeSpot: After successfully withstanding Vivio's barrage of jabs, Rinne tries to gain a victory over the only person who has defeated her (albeit due to points) in a match. She manages to NoSell Vivio's supposed knockout blow and turns the tables against her and finally succeeding in knocking her down. Seeing Vivio's difficulty in defending herself because of a leg injury caused by her earlier assault, Rinne continues to attack, knowing it'll only be a matter of time before Vivio falls. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for her, Vivio hits Rinne with a well-timed counter, which she follows with [[RapidFireFisticuffs Accel Smash Infinity]]. Rinne is unable to defend herself or endure the barrage of blows to the head, and suffers her first KO defeat.]]
131	* HumanizingTears: Even after hardening herself following her experiences, the old, "weakling" Rinne still shows as she breaks down after [[spoiler: not only losing anew to Vivio, but also suffering her first loss by KO]].
132	* {{Hypocrite}}: Rinne thinks of Vivio as a "naturally born rich girl" who was raised by elite government officials, Fate and Nanoha, when Rinne herself was adopted by fashion moguls, and as such, she would never have to worry about one or both of her parents risking their lives as part of their jobs the way Vivio would. Not to mention Rinne was blessed from birth with physical and magical talents, while Vivio's body is physically and magically unsuited for combat.
133	* IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam: Despite practicing them for the sake of getting stronger, Rinne does not like martial arts, something noted by others and even herself. [[spoiler:However during her rematch with Fuka, she starts to realize she actually did have fun working for her achievements, making Jill happy with her success, learning new techniques and being motivated by the crowd.]]
134	* IJustWantToBeBadass: Deconstructed. Due to her history of being bullied, she has an almost pathological need to be the strongest there is to keep her loved ones from being taken from her. This ends up alienating her from everyone around her, [[WeUsedToBeFriends including Fuka]]. And unlike most examples, she actually hates martial arts.
135	* InnocentlyInsensitive: How she treats her opponents after defeating them. For example, after defeating Carrie in Episode 3, she's happy that she didn't hurt her but calls her "Number 8" rather than her actual name and tells her that it wasn't a good match, which causes Carrie to cry.
136	* IronicEcho: Fuka's line about Rinne during their rematch in episode 9.
137	--> [[spoiler: It's just as I thought... You're weak.]]
138	* {{Irony}}: She believes that Einhart, due to her status as the Under 15 champion, doesn't have any doubts or constraints because she's so strong. As we all know from ''[=ViVid=]'', Einhart was once full of doubt despite her strength.
139	* LightningBruiser: Rinne is an exceptional fighter in terms of physical and magical combat, is very agile, and incredibly durable. No wonder not only does she usually score quick victories, but her opponents also usually have a hard time fighting back when she lands the first hit.
140	* LonelyRichKid: Despite having loving adoptive parents, deep down Rinne yearns for the time when she and Fuka were closer. After her brutal retaliation on her bullies, she was transferred to another school, where at most her new classmates are cordial to her, if a bit distant out of fear.
141	* MagicalAccessory: Scuderia is modeled after Berlinetta-brand jewelry. To be specific, it's named and modeled after her late grandfather's keepsake.
142	* MegatonPunch: [[spoiler:During her final battle with Fuka in Episode 11, she delivers the titular "breakthrough strike," smashing her with enough force to break through the protection field and knock out some of her teeth. Jill's [[BlasphemousBoast claim that Rinne's fist could destroy God]] apparently had some truth to it, as in the aftermath of the strike Harry wasn't even sure if Fuka ''survived'' it.]]
143	* MightMakesRight: As her quote above states, she wants to become stronger so that she can have the strength to both strike back at the people who looked down on her and protect those she cares about.
144	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: First played straight, then subverted. She was genuinely horrified by her NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on her bullies, to the point that she was willing to let the brother of one of the girls inflict the same injuries on her when he came looking for revenge. Then she found out that the girls had lied to their families and claimed she attacked them unprovoked, at which point any sense of guilt she might have felt disappeared. [[spoiler: DoubleSubverted when it turns out that she's been internalizing her guilt the entire time, resulting in severe self loathing.]]
145	* MyGreatestFailure: Being unable to protect Roy's tiepin, her inability to be by his side when he died, and her falling-out with Fuka has put serious dents on her vow to protect her loved ones, not to mention losing [[spoiler: twice]] to Vivio.
146	* NeverBeHurtAgain: Her main motivation for pushing her physical and magical skills to the limit, even if it means detaching herself from her loved ones.
147	* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: As revealed in Episode 4, her bullies beat her up after she got an emergency call from the school about her grandfather's heart attack, and she ended up not being there when he died. The guilt of this seems to be the catalyst for her desire to become stronger.
148	* NiceToTheWaiter: Alongside her parents, she's also quite kind and friendly to her family's staff. The family maids are among the few people Rinne smiles arounds.
149	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: As the flashback in Episode 4 reveals, Rinne laid brutal vengeance on the three bullies who had been harassing her and caused her to miss out on seeing her grandfather before he died. In order, she broke the lead girl's arm, smashed another girl into a locker head first hard enough to leave a bloody dent (while she was still wearing her glasses), and kicked the last girl into another locker before stomping on the lead girl's head for good measure.
150	* NoSell: If Rinne ever gets hit by an attack, she'll usually shrug it off, much to an opponent's shock. This adds to her intimidation factor as she can even withstand attacks like Miura's powerful kicks.
151	* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Another benevolent example again courtesy of Einhart. [[spoiler: Upon learning that Rinne intends to quit being a martial artist, Einhart offers her a shot at her U-15 championship title, on the condition that she win against Fuka. This is so that not only would she uphold the promise of fighting Fuka, but to make a talented fighter such as her continue, and possibly find joy, in practicing martial arts.]]
152	* TheOjou: Via adoption.
153	* OlderAlterEgo: She has an Adult Mode which she uses when she fights.
154	* PerpetualFrowner: It's noted that she never smiles, even after she wins a fight. The only time she is seen actually smiling is while spending time with her adopted parents.
155	* PlatonicDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: To Fuka after they reconcile.]]
156	* PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: When she's upholding her cold facade of being strong, her voice sounds deeper than it actually is.
157	* {{Protectorate}}: She acted as one for Fuka when they were younger. [[WeUsedToBeFriends Not so much in the present day.]]
158	* RagsToRiches: She was a poor orphan who was adopted by the owners of a popular fashion brand.
159	* RecurringElement: She's this season's "girl with sad eyes."
160	* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Fuka's Blue: Her calm and stoic exterior hides a girl with severe psychological and anger management issues, and her fighting style is crude and unrefined.
161	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After her bullies faked an end to their hostilities with her, stole her precious family heirloom, smashed it up and threw it into a toilet, prevented her from being at her grandfather's side when he died, and beat her up for good measure, she decided to return the favor by handing them a well-deserved ticket to the ''hospital''.
162	* RunningAwayToCry: [[spoiler:After her second loss to Vivio, she locks herself in a bathroom stall and berates herself over her "weakness".]]
163	* SchoolBullyingIsHarmless: ''{{Averted}}'' hard. She tried to treat her bullies as harmless nuisances who would get bored eventually, they did not. This eventually led to her being unable to be there when her grandfather died, her brutally beating the bullies back, and a massive host of issues that followed her afterwards.
164	* SheWhoFightsMonsters: As a fighter Rinne [[AttackAttackAttack relies on brute force to steamroll her opposition]] and [[ArrogantKungFuGuy is blunt in undermining their efforts]]. Ironically, her obsession with power has unwittingly made her like her former bullies.
165	* ShooTheDog: [[spoiler: All her attempts to push away Fuka were so she wouldn't drag her best friend into her self-inflicted hell.]]
166	* ShrinkingViolet: She used to be a weakling until one bullying session drove her over the edge, though deep down her old personality emerges whenever she reminisces over her happier days with Fuka and [[spoiler:when she drops her cold facade and cries alone after losing again to Vivio]]. That said, unlike most examples of shy characters, she was the one who took the initiative to befriend Fuka.
167	* StockShoujoBullyingTactics: She suffers from these, which eventually lead to her being unable to see her dying grandfather. Then she snapped and beat her bullies.
168	* StressVomit: [[spoiler: Throws up in the bathroom after her second loss to Vivio in Episode 8.]]
169	* SugarAndIcePersonality: She normally acts cold to everyone around her, but her original sweet personality comes to the front whenever she's with her parents or the family staff.
170	* ThereAreNoTherapists: Rinne's parents ''really'' should have put her in therapy for her laundry list of psychological issues. While she may have been deliberately hiding her problems from them; any child who lashed out at her bullies, ran away, and was kidnapped in such a short time frame is bound to have emotional baggage.
171	* ThisIsUnforgivable: She says this after learning that Sara lied to her brother and made herself seem like a victim. Rinne regrets hurting the three, but any sort of goodwill toward them evaporates after learning that the bullies feel no remorse for hurting her.
172	* TookALevelInBadass: the third OVA implies that Fuka and Vivio will not be able to repeat their victories over Rinne now that the latter has sorted out her emotional baggage and started a new training regime with Jill. Case in point: where were they when Rinne seized the U-15 championship?
173	* TrainingFromHell: Willingly subjected herself to Jill's hellish training regimen, to the point that at times, she would pass out from exhaustion. This is all so she can become strong.
174	* TranquilFury: The entire time that she's delivering a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to her bullies, her only emotion is an icy cold DeathGlare.
175	* TragicKeepsake: Her device, Scuderia, is named and modeled after the tiepin her grandfather gave her, the original one having been destroyed by bullies.
176	* TheTragicRose: Her transformation sequence features a rose (along with thorns) and her character is defined by her inability to move on from the events surrounding her grandfather's death.
177	* TraumaButton: Knockout blows seem to have become this to her, as when [[spoiler: Vivio defeats her again, this time by knockout]], she gets StressVomit from it. Justified, as such a blow is what kept her from seeing Roy as he was dying.
178	* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[AMinorKidroduction The opening scene]] depicts her as a shy girl who often hid behind Fuka. In the present, she's depicted as cold, aloof, and willing to get strong even at the cost of her friendship with Fuka. Her actions in the presence of her parents show this sweetness hasn't completely faded, as does her continued use of Fuka's AffectionateNickname.
179	* TheUnreveal: In Episode 5. Her kidnapper is revealed to be the brother of Sara, one of the three girls who bullied her and subsequently lied about the causes of her retaliatory assault on them, claiming that Rinne was their friend... but not only does Rinne have no idea which of the three is Sara, the audience never finds out either.
180	** Sara's brother's lines during his MotiveRant says his sister suffered a broken nose and skull, implying that Sara was the girl who got her face slammed into the locker.
181	* UnskilledButStrong: Rinne is undoubtedly a extremely gifted fighter, and Jill even states that natural talent like hers only comes once in a century. However, her usual strategy in fights is to [[AttackAttackAttack punch, grapple, or blast the opponent until they submit or get knocked out.]] A good example is her strategy to defeat [[spoiler: Miura]] in Episode 6, which is only by tanking her kicks and hitting back harder, which is also the same kind of strategy she uses against Vivio in their first match and during their rematch in Episode 8. [[spoiler:Vivio defeats her in both of their matches because of a difference in technical ability.]]
182	* TookALevelInCheerfulness: As is series tradition, she becomes all smiles after Fuka successfully [[DefeatMeansFriendship re-befriends]] her and helps her get over her issues.
183	* VehicularThemeNaming: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlinetta Berlinetta]] has been used as a model name by several car companies. Her device, Scuderia, is named after Ferrari's racing division.
184	* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: This plays a major role in her backstory. She was tormented for several months by a trio of bullies, [[BewareTheQuietOnes eventually snapped]], and beat all three of them so bad that they had to be hospitalized. Rather than feel any sort of relief or closure, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she was horrified by her actions]] [[spoiler: to the point that she spent 3 years suffering from extreme self-loathing.]]
185	* VillainousBreakdown: Downplayed as Rinne isn't actually a true villain, but her thoughts during the latter parts of episode 8 can be seen as this:
186	-->"I know [Vivio]'s story, she was raised by elite government officials and attended the church's prestigious academy. She was surrounded by lots of kind adults without even facing an inconvenience. A naturally born rich girl. She isn't suited for martial arts. Her body is too weak and frail. And yet, why won't she go down? Why does she keep getting in my way over and over!? She doesn't need martial arts. She doesn't have to become strong! She has somewhere to go home to. She has friends. Isn't she happy!? She doesn't have to endure this! Isn't that enough!? I'm different. If I don't become strong, I'll lose everything!"
187	* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Fuka. They had a falling out after Rinne's adoption, but there are signs that show she likely regrets this and wants to be friends with her again.
188	* WhamLine: At the end of Episode 8, she ends up saying something completely shocking after her present self has only mentioned she's become stronger.
189	-->[[spoiler:"I'm... weak."]]
190	* WhyWontYouDie: Or in this case, "why won't you go down?" As noted above, Rinne gets increasingly frustrated in her second match against Vivio because the latter refuses to go down no matter how hard she got hit and somehow manages to get back up after she got knocked out [[spoiler: leading to her second loss to Vivio and first ever loss via [=KO=]]]. She also shows the same frustration when Fuka also refused to go down and lose during their match.
191	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: She's a skilled grappler and is shown performing a German Suplex in a recording.

196	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaneSakura
197	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/character11_jilu_pc.png]]
198	Rinne's coach at the Frontier Gym.
199	----
200	* BigDamnHeroes: Episode 5 shows that she first met Rinne by rescuing her from a group of thugs led by the brother of one of the students Rinne beat up.
201	* BreakTheHaughty: Jill is incredibly arrogant and dismissive of other fighters writing them off for not being as innately strong or powerful as Rinne. [[spoiler:Rinne losing anew to Vivio, who was nowhere near as strong nor durable nor magically powerful, breaks her hard.]]
202	* CareerEndingInjury: It's mentioned in passing that Jill's career as a fighter ended because of an injury she suffered in training.
203	* CurbStompBattle: Administers one to Rinne's kidnappers once she finds out where they took her. It ends with her kicking the leader into several arcade machines after he charges at both of them with his knife.
204	* {{Foil}}: To Nove. Both women share a history of being unable to tap into their potential (the naturally-talented Jill was forced to retire early through injury, while the genetically-modified Nove was ironically held back by those same enhancements). The main difference is how they met their future proteges (Jill through saving Rinne from her kidnappers, Nove through kidnapping Vivio), as well as their coaching styles -- where Nove believes in the value of effort and has adopted Nanoha's style of easing her students into increasingly intensive training while monitoring their health and working on their technique to complement their inborn talents, Jill believes that inborn talent is everything and pushes Rinne through extreme training, even at the risk of severe physical strain.
205	* FreudianExcuse: Her reasoning for believing the talent and skill someone has at birth determining their strength comes from how [[spoiler:she came to see herself as someone lacking talent, even mentioning to Rinne in a flashback that eventually she'd always enter the ring feeling pain. The injuries she sustained that led her to having to retire just before her title match made her come to blame her own coach for not telling her to stop when it was clear she was not a born winner. This is also why Vivio, someone who lacks a body meant for martial arts, defeating Rinne in their rematch hit her as hard as it did.]]
206	* GoodCounterpart: To Quattro, the other bespectacled woman in the series who turned a traumatized young girl into a powerhouse. The main difference is that -unlike the sociopathic Quattro- Jill genuinely cares about Rinne, she's just completely unequipped to help her deal with her laundry list of emotional issues.
207	* HardWorkHardlyWorks: She believes that a fighters strength is determined by the amount of skill they're born with.
208	* HiddenDisdainReveal: While she's usually polite to Nove, at the end of the series, Jill reveals that she's always hated her for enabling "weak" athletes to pursue dreams they have no hope of achieving, something that she apologizes for. Nove takes it fairly well.
209	* {{Irony}}: Jill's philosophy of natural talent being the sole key to success is twice disproved by a fighter who had refined her skills to compensate for her lack of natural talent; something that Jill did herself during her fighting days.
210	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has a rather cynical view that hard work is worthless in the face of raw talent, but she genuinely cares about Rinne.
211	* TheMentor: To Rinne.
212	* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:She took Rinne's second loss to Vivio so hard she doubts Rinne will want to return to fighting under her tutelage... let alone ever again, even briefly considering quitting coaching altogether as a result.]]
213	* PetTheDog: She visits Vivio in the hospital after her match with Rinne and would have visited Miura if she'd had the chance.
214	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She doesn't mind that Nove's combat philosophy is diametrically opposite hers, downplays rumors of a rivalry between them and generally gets along with her. She also can tell Rinne's in great pain from their first meeting and seems to understand how she feels after [[spoiler:the latter loses again to Vivio in worse shape than before]].
215	* RetiredBadass: She was formerly a martial arts practitioner, and is still able to run down a car while on foot and effortlessly beat up several thugs to save Rinne.
216	* ScaryShinyGlasses: When Rinne gets the first hit on Carrie, and when she beats up Rinne's kidnappers.
217	* TearsOfJoy: After [[spoiler: Rinne tells her that she still wants to train with her despite all the pain she went through.]]
218	* TearsOfRemorse: After [[spoiler:Rinne loses again to Vivio]], she cannot help but cry in frustration after angrily slamming a divider in the Frontier Gym locker room. She even wonders if she's fit to coach at all after Rinne's loss.
219	* TrainingFromHell: Her training was so intense it made Rinne pass out and throw up. The reason for this is likely because she understands Rinne's feelings, shown by [[spoiler:her breakdown after Rinne loses to Vivio again]]. This, ironically, is also the reason why she had to retire as a fighter. Her constant practice of this trope in the past led to serious injuries that forced her to end her career earlier than she wanted.

231	* PlotTriggeringDeath: His death ([[NeverGotToSayGoodbye and Rinne's inability to be by his side]]) is what turned Rinne into the cold aloof girl she is in the present and ultimately led to her falling-out with Fuka.
232	* PosthumousCharacter: He died three years before the present.

252	* GoodParents: Like her husband.
253	* ItsAllMyFault: She blamed herself for Rinne's unhappy school life which ultimately led to her attacking her bullies, since she's the one that sent Rinne to that school, where she was an alumna, as well as gave her the original Scuderia. All she wanted was for Rinne to experience the same happy memories she had when she went to that school.
254	* MotherlySidePlait: Notably, she wore her hair this way even before she adopted Rinne. She also subverts the "stay-at-home mom stereotype" by being a fashion designer with an mansion full of maids.
255	* SatelliteCharacter: She gets very little development beyond being Rinne's mother
256	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Like Quint before her, one of the reasons that she adopted Rinne was because they looked remarkably similar. [[spoiler:[[IdenticalStranger Unlike Quint, there's nothing to suggest any biological relationship between them]].]]
257	* VehicularThemeNaming: Lorrie (or Lorry) is a British term for a truck, and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlinetta Berlinetta]] has been used as a model name by several car companies.

267	* NiceGirl: She's magnanimous enough to not be too offended with Rinne's dismissive comments (Lyra notes that while she got offended, it's proof that she does love martial arts), and is glad that Rinne and Fuuka made up.
268	* RetiredBadass: She had mentioned before her fight with Rinne that she was planning on retiring from martial arts so she could help out her family. Crosses over with {{Retirony}} as she wanted to have a good fight with Rinne only for Rinne to effortlessly defeat her, send her to the hospital and say on national TV that she was weak. Ouch. [[spoiler: The finale reveals that she is still fighting competitively, just on a local level.]]

314	!!The Bullies
315	Three girls who had been bullying Rinne in the past and were the victims of her wrath when they went too far.
316	----
317	* AdoptionDiss: They made fun of Rinne for being adopted, suggesting that she's not a "real" [[TheOjou rich girl]].
318	* AssholeVictim: Needless to say, there wasn't a lot of sympathy to be found for them when Rinne beat them straight into the hospital.
319	* BlatantLies: All of them lie to their families that Rinne was their friend and made themselves seem like victims, conveniently failing to mention how terribly they bullied Rinne, beyond a "little teasing".
320	* BullyBrutality: They beat Rinne to the point of unconsciousness, preventing her from making it home before her grandfather died.
321	* BullyingADragon: Sure, you just found out she was adopted ''after'' you saw her severely hurt one of you with just her grip for just taking a piece of jewelry off her and calling it ugly. This is the sort of girl you should pick on for being adopted and generally harass and screw with in ever escalating ways. [[SchmuckBait This certainly won't backfire in any way]].
322	* DidYouActuallyBelieve: After their fake apology, the bullies mock Rinne for bringing her grandfather's tie pin to school on their suggestion, laughing at her gullibility.
323	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Apart from the stupidity of bullying a girl who can easily beat them up if pushed far enough, the bullies were motivated by their anger over Rinne refusing to join their club. Naturally, their cruelty towards Rinne did nothing to win her over.
324	* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Sara has a KnightTemplarBigBrother who, having been lied to about the circumstances under which his sister was injured, kidnaps Rinne for revenge. It's unclear whether she cares about her brother as much as he does about her, though.
325	* EyeScream: One of them gets her face smashed into lockers by Rinne while her glasses were on. This is accompanied by the sound of glass shattering.
326	* FourEyesZeroSoul: One of them, the one who had her face smashed into the locker, wears glasses.
327	* HateSink: All three of them, especially Sara, pretty much exist to be despised by the audience.
328	* JerkassToOne: Based on their appearances, they are only shown to be focusing on bullying Rinne, mainly because she refuses to join their club.
329	* KidsAreCruel: They definitely qualify as this.
330	* KickTheDog:
331	** Their entire treatment of Rinne is this, bar none.
332	** What really sets their beat down on Rinne reaching a new low is that they’re more pissed that she dared to leave their presence because she wanted to visit her ill-grandfather. Even going as far as to crush Rinne’s phone while her mother was on the line calling her. Once Rinne is knocked out by the bullies, they promptly leave to save their own necks and don’t get help for Rinne. It’s because of this that Rinne’s grandfather passed on before she comes home. Needless to say, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown this was the final straw for Rinne.]]
333	** Even after all that, they lie to their families that Rinne is the bully who attacked them for no reason while denying anything wrong they did to her, while lying over Rinne being their “friend”. This drives one of the bullies’ brother into kidnapping Rinne, beating her up and attempting to murder her.
334	* NoNameGiven: One of them is named Sara, but it's never specified which one. Since Rinne was likely on a LastNameBasis with them (they called her "Berlinetta-san") if she knew their names at all, she doesn't know, either.
335	* OhCrap:
336	** They panic a little when Rinne is knocked unconscious, clearly more out of fear of getting in trouble than any remorse.
337	** All three of them were ''terrified'' when Rinne came for revenge. The one wearing glasses was even [[TearsOfFear crying]].
338	* SmallRoleBigImpact: They only show up during a flashback in episode 4, but the plot of the entire series can be traced back to them. Rinne would not be the way she was, from a fighter to having fallen out with Fuka, if they had never bullied Rinne at all or even just bullied her in a less brutal way. They are also responsible for Rinne's serious issues, especially when she is [[spoiler: traumatized by being knocked out by Vivio, causing her first loss and she breaks down in tears because of that, implying that their cruel treatment towards Rinne seems to have affected her so badly.]]
339	* WoundedGazelleGambit: Once Rinne pays each of them back for all the hell they given her, they cry out to their families that Rinne attacked them unprovoked while stating she was their friend, and deny any wrongdoing they put on Rinne, only mention they “teased” her a little bit.
340	* WouldHitAGirl: Sara's brother uses the [[KarmaHoudini light punishment]] Rinne got to justify kidnapping and harming her as revenge for his sister's beatdown. Going so far to not only use her as a HumanShield against Jill when she arrives to rescue Rinne, but come at the both of them with muderous intent as a last ditch effort before Jill roundly kicks him into an arcade machine.
