| 17 | An ordinary middle-school student who is intelligent and rational, but is unsure about her future and has a hard time making decisions. Her parents were killed in an accident when she was a child, and so she has been raised by her grandmother. Her life takes a drastic turn when she encounters Papika and finds herself dragged into her adventures in the world of Pure Illusion and eventually begins to enjoy both Papika's adventures and her company. |
| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * AmbiguouslyGay: The series has made it clear that she is not heterosexual. Episode 7 seems to indicate that she could be either bisexual or a lesbian. Alternatively, she could simply be [[SingleTargetSexuality Papika-sexual]], though she is occasionally shown to blush and react to Yayaka as well, when the latter forgets about the concept of personal space. |
| 21 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: For a majority of Episode 3. |
| 22 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Not so much clingy, but the mere mention of [[spoiler:Mimi]] from Papika upsets her. |
| 23 | * DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: She is introduced as this in the first episode. |
| 24 | * DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:At the end of Episode 10, Cocona is about to be captured by the enemy organization which causes her mother, Mimi, to possess her body. Dark Mimi remains in possession of Cocona's body throughout Episode 11 as well. Cocona finally breaks free of it towards the later part of Episode 12.]] |
| 25 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Hates carrots. To the point where her vision of Hell has her being forced to eat carrots. [[spoiler: In fact, in Episode 9 where Papika began to confuse Cocona with Mimi, she offered her Onigiri which contained, among other ingredients, carrots, with this incident being one of the breaking points between their relationship.]] |
| 26 | * HeroicBastard: [[spoiler:Cocona's parents, Mimi and Salt, were not married.]] |
| 27 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:In Episode 10, feeling betrayed by just about everyone she knew, Cocona thought she would seek solace at home with her grandmother... only to discover that she is in fact, a robot, and an Asclepius agent. [[FromBadToWorse And then she got possessed by her mother]].]] |
| 28 | * LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: [[spoiler:Develops this dynamic after coming an OfficialCouple with Papika. At the end of Episode 13, she tells Papika if she leaves her alone like that again she'll get an earful.]] |
| 29 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Has no idea why Papika shows up in her life, and then constantly drags her off on wacky adventures to claim some weird MacGuffin artifacts. When she tries to demand some answers, nobody seems to want to give her a straight answer until late in the show. Unfortunately she does start suffering a HeroicBSOD once her normal life starts falling apart as Asclepius starts making its moves to try and control Pure Illusion. |
| 30 | * LoveConfession: [[spoiler:She declares she loves Papika after breaking free from Dark Mimi's control.]] |
| 31 | * MarkOfTheSupernatural: Has a birthmark on her upper left thigh. It contains an Amorphous fragment, which lets her access Pure Illusion. |
| 32 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When she realizes that some of her adventures bleed out and affect the regular world as well. |
| 33 | * NotQuiteHuman: [[spoiler:It is revealed her mother is Mimi, the original person capable of going into Pure Illusion. While her implied father, Salt, is human, it is unknown how human her mother is.]] |
| 34 | * OnlyFriend: Turns out she was Yayaka's only real friend. |
| 35 | * OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:With Papika at the end of the series.]] |
| 36 | * ParentalAbandonment: Both of her parents are dead. [[spoiler:In Episode 10, we find out that is not quite the case.]] |
| 37 | * PimpedOutDress: [[spoiler: Gets a pimped out wedding dress as part of her final henshin.]] |
| 38 | * PinkHeroine: The protagonist of the series, and gets the very pink transformstion of Pure Blade. |
| 39 | * PoorCommunicationKills: Jumps to conclusions when [[spoiler:Papika tells her her story about Mimi, beginning to assume that she likes as a replacement for Mimi, and began to scream to her about it without giving her a chance to explain and walks out on her, Yayaka and Flip Flap, which strains their relationship even more, and resulting to to be possessed to Mimi, who reveals herself to be her mother.]] |
| 40 | * PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Her short hair grows to be as long as Papika's and is dyed in a similar color as well. |
| 41 | * PowerOfLove: [[spoiler:It is the love the True Mimi has for her along with her love for Papika that enables Cocona to finally break free from her mother's trance on her.]] |
| 42 | * PseudoRomanticFriendship: With Papika, especially prominent in Episodes 5 and 7, but still strongly enough present in all the other episodes. It would actually be easier to name which episodes ''didn't'' have as heavy undertones, but still, YMMV. As much as Papika enthusiastically tells Cocona she loves her, the latter has yet to voice out her own feelings (lampshaded in Episode 7), though it is obvious that she has grown very attached to Papika as well. [[spoiler: Later tension between them revolves around Cocona suspecting Papika's love and friendship to be insincere, and behaving coldly towards her from feeling hurt. It feels like a lovers' quarrel. She and Papika later move out of this and [[RelationshipUpgrade take their relationship]] [[OfficialCouple to the next level]] by the series finale.]] |
| 43 | * RaisedByGrandparents: She has been living with her grandmother since she was a child. [[spoiler:Episode 10 reveals that this grandmother is actually a robot working for the enemy organization.]] |
| 44 | * RepetitiveName: ''Coco''na ''Koko''mine. |
| 45 | * ReplacementGoldfish: She fears that [[spoiler:Papika views her as this to Mimi. She isn't.]] |
| 46 | * ResignedToTheCall: While she seemed to have enjoyed the first adventure she went on with Papika, she was reluctant to want to go on another one due to how Papika nearly got killed in the end. She reluctantly agrees to go on more with Papika. [[spoiler: The finale suggests that Cocona's ability to choose was constantly being repressed by Dark Mimi visiting her in her dreams.]] |
| 47 | * SharedFamilyQuirks: Short-sighted and wears thick, square-framed glasses. Like her [[spoiler:father and grandfather.]] She stops wearing them after the first episode though. |
| 48 | * ShyBlueHairedGirl: Very introverted and indecisive. Papika helps her break out of her shell over the course of the series. |
| 49 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:She looks very much like her mother Mimi, though she has her father's eyes.]] |
| 50 | * WasItAllALie: Cocona gets hit with this hard in [[spoiler:Episode 10. She is doubtful that Papika really cares about her and suspects that she is just a substitute for someone else. After hearing Papika's story about Mimi, Cocina believes that Papika simply considers her a replacement for Mimi and declares her hatred for Papika, Yayaka, and the Flip Flap organization. Later on, she finds out that the grandmother that raised her is not the person she thought she was, and her grandmother openly states it was all a lie.]] |

| 60 | |
| 61 | The mysterious girl who forever changes Cocona's life. She's bright, full of boundless energy and seems to have absolutely zero sense of danger. Although she can only enter Pure Illusion together with Cocona, it's abudantly clear that Papika's affection for Cocona runs a lot deeper than that. She happily drags Cocona into her adventures in the world of Pure Illusion at the behest of [=FlipFlap=]. |
| 62 | ---- |
| 63 | * AnimalMotifs: Dogs or puppies. Has a strong sense of smell, often uses sniffing to locate others and hates the scent of nail polish. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in Episode 3 by one of the Marauders. |
| 64 | * BabyTalk: Shows signs of this as she struggles to even pronounce simple words such as "Flip Flapping!" or "Eat Up!". Papika also prefers to use simple sentences and simple words when talking to others. [[spoiler:She drops this as her memories come back to her.]] |
| 65 | * BadassAdorable: She is a feisty girl ready to fight and go on an adventure. |
| 66 | * BigEater: Loves eating. In fact, she is able to finish eating an oversized Onigiri the size of her head in a few bites. |
| 67 | * ChainedByFashion: Wears a golden anklet storing an Amorphous Shard on her left leg. Papika is unable to get it off despite her efforts. [[spoiler:Asclepius originally attached it to her to prevent her from escaping the facility again. Magnetic in nature, a chain pattern illuminates whenever it's activated. Papika loses it at the finale, symbolizing her newfound freedom with Cocona.]] |
| 68 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Hollo!", "Found you!", and "I love love LOVE you!" |
| 69 | * DoNotCallMePaul: [[spoiler:She no longer goes by "Papikana". Salt still refers to her as "Papikana" though, even after she corrected him.]] |
| 70 | * FirstGirlAfterall: [[spoiler:It is revealed that when Papikana tried to stop Dark Mimi from taking over the Mimi she knew, Mimi gave Papikana Cocona. Afterwards, Papikana de-aged and became friends with Cocona. However, neither of them could remember it.]] |
| 71 | * ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:Both she and Cocona forgot they met each other as children in Pure Illusion.]] |
| 72 | * FountainOfYouth: Originally grew up with Salt and Mimi, but the incident that seperated them banished her to a specific world in Pure Illusion, which aged and de-aged her until she ended up the same age as Cocona. |
| 73 | * GenkiGirl: So very much. |
| 74 | * HairAntennae: More than one. |
| 75 | * HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Courtesy of [=CocoMimi=] going "Dai Kirai" in Episode 11. She gets better after a RousingSpeech from Yayaka.]] |
| 76 | * HiddenDepths: You wouldn't expect a feral child such as her to be so adept at cooking, would you? She can even make a delicious stew out of ingredients she doesn't recognise. |
| 77 | * IdiotHair: She's not really an idiot though. |
| 78 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Early on, despite Cocona's protests, Papika still insists on them travelling to Pure Illusion, not realizing the inherent dangers (which are primarily Cocona's concern) from exploring Pure Illusion. She later comes to understand Cocona's perspective on the matter by the time Episode 2 is over though. |
| 79 | ** Papika is this in regards to [[spoiler:Mimi. Due to certain things she says, she causes Cocona to believe that Papika only views her as a ReplacementGoldfish to Mimi.]] |
| 80 | * IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Forced to engaged in this fight with Cocona after she is mind-controlled in Episode 3. [[spoiler:In Episode 11 and 12, she tries to reach out to Cocona after she is possessed by Dark Mimi.]] |
| 81 | * JumpedAtTheCall: A stark contrast to Cocona. |
| 82 | * KiddieKid: Papika appears to be around the same age as Cocona, but her whole attitude seems like the kind of way a very young child would act, only learning from mistakes through trial and error rather than genuine foreknowledge. [[spoiler:It's implied that her mental age, due to various things that happened when she was imprisoned in the limbo between Pure Illusions, is only a few years old.]] |
| 83 | * LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: [[spoiler:Seems to have developed this dynamic with Cocona at the end of the series.]] |
| 84 | * LoveConfession: Papika has declared her love for Cocona on several occasions, [[spoiler:and Episode 12 makes it clear she was very serious. Episode 13 she and Cocona share a mutual love confession. Afterwards, they become a couple and decide to continue going on adventures.]] |
| 85 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: To Cocona's behest, Papika can often give her too much physical affection. |
| 86 | * TheNoseKnows: Has a remarkable sense of smell. She's even able to track Cocona with it from miles away. Another reference to her dog-like behaviour. |
| 87 | * OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:With Cocona at the end of the series.]] |
| 88 | * OjouRinglets: Not Papika, but one of her Episode 7 counterparts, Papino has them. |
| 89 | * OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Papikana was Mimi's partner 14 years ago, at which point she was 19 years old, but after chasing Mimi into an unknown part of Pure Illusion she was trapped and de-aged into a baby, where she grew up alongside Cocona. This means that she's technically 33 years old but is still physically 14.]]. |
| 90 | * PimpedOutDress: Wears a frilly magical girl-esque dress ''to school'' in Episode 2. |
| 91 | ** [[spoiler: Gets a pimped out wedding dress as part of her final henshin]] |
| 92 | * PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:Due to not explaining about Mimi earlier, partly due to Papika's own feelings about what happened to Mimi, it causes Cocona to sever their friendship and enter a HeroicBSOD which ends in her becoming possessed by Dark Mimi.]] |
| 93 | * PrefersGoingBarefoot: For some reason, Papika often insists on going barefoot, only wearing a golden anklet, although she does wear oversized flip-flops when out in public. Combined with her [[ManicPixieDreamGirl usual personality]], she could count as a BarefootLoon. |
| 94 | * PseudoRomanticFriendship: With Cocona, especially in Episode 5 and 7, and to varying extent in almost every other episode. However she may mean it, Papika often stated that she loves Cocona, and it very clearly reflects in how she treats and cares for her. [[spoiler:She and Cocona later move out of this and [[RelationshipUpgrade take their relationship]] [[OfficialCouple to the next level]] by the series finale.]] |
| 95 | * VerbalTic: Goes "kun kun" whenever sniffing. |
| 96 | ** She also lets out an adorable "Mu fu~" whenever she's happy. |
| 97 | * WildChild: Occasionally shows shades of this, what with her consistently scavenging for food, mistaking clearly non-edible items such as cables for food, her generally simplistic speech patterns, difficulty pronouncing complex words and not understanding certain social norms such as not changing clothes in front of others. |

| 251 | * {{Crossdresser}}: Wears a schoolgirl's outfit in Episode 5 and a sukumizu in Episode 8. |
| 252 | * DawsonCasting: Unusual voice example from the English dub. The original Japanese gives a high pre-pubescent voice while the dub opted for a matured male voice. |
| 253 | * FinishingEachOthersSentences: Occasionally. |

| 282 | * NotSoStoic: Starts becoming more and more openly worried after Toto sustains a head injury, [[spoiler: going as far as to refuse to treat her superior's wounds so she can focus on her brother instead.]] |
| 283 | ** Even before that, Yuyu is noticeably more emotional than her brother. In a blink-or-miss-it scene at the end of Episode 8, [[spoiler:where Pops took the Amorphous fragment from them, Yuyu can be seen angry and frustrated while her brother remains emotionless.]] |

| 300 | * GenkiGirl: Very lively and energetic, in contrast to the other two Amorphous Children. |

| 321 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Somehow, nobody seems to comment about the fact that he's green, blob-like, and shows signs of sentience.

| 366 | * CombatTentacles: Utilizes this in combat. They seem to stem from her legs. |
| 367 | * CombatSadomasochist: Enjoys hitting and being hit a bit too much. Some of her battle grunts are somewhat suggestive in nature. |
| 368 | * EvilerThanThou: Even the desert marauders who steal the villagers' supplies consider her to be evil. Some of them even try to pull a BigDamnHeroes moment, only for Welwitschia to shake off their attacks. |
| 369 | * FridgeBrilliance: Of course she would want a lot of water and has the resources to supply Papika with some. She's a plant, after all! And where do welwitschia plants live in, again? |

| 398 | * IronicNickname: Is called "Pops" despite being the same age as the girls. |
| 399 | * LargeHam: Quite possibly the hammiest in the series. |
| 400 | * MadScientist: Of sorts. Certainly nicer than the resident Mad Scientist of the series, though. |
| 401 | * MissionControl: Acts as this for the girls in Episode 8. |
| 402 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name is only known in the credits. Everyone just calls him "Pops". |
| 403 | * PunnyName: Punny Nickname. The name Papika chose for him is "Occhan" in Japanese, which is similar to his real name. |
| 404 | * RobotMaster: All of the mechas were invented by him. |
| 405 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Is really tiny but his ego more than makes up for it. He even introduced himself as "The Great White Creator" and wanted the heroines to call him the "Almighty Ruler of-" before Papika cut him off by calling him "Pops". |
| 406 | * TeenGenius: [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ip2IsLvWNJJxYNTT5ODivaL2j5xbEoq3EhGhaUe48Gk/edit An interview]] with the director reveals that he's the same age as Cocona and Papika. |

| 415 | |
| 416 | A mysterious girl from Papika's past. She was Papikana's original partner and the first person ever able to enter Pure Illusion. She is also Cocona's mother and has been appearing before her in her dreams. Her actions kick off the final arc of the story. |
| 417 | ---- |
| 418 | * BigBad: [[DrivenToVillainy Not entirely by her own choosing due to Asclepius' experiments]] causing her to have a split personality and then [[SplitPersonalityTakeover the subsequent split personality takeover]]. |
| 419 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Salt and Papika. |
| 420 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: It is all but stated that Mimi and Salt became romantically involved since he is Cocona's father. |
| 421 | * CombatTentacles: Uses this in combat. The Pure Illusion Defense Mechanisms, which are invasive elements originating from the shards of Mimi, also share this trait as well. |
| 422 | * DemonicPossession: At the end of Episode 10 she takes over Cocona's body when she about to be abducted by Asclepius. She remains in control of Cocona's body in Episode 11, but Cocona and Mimi are separate in Pure Illusion. However, she is grooming Cocona to be happy with the world she is trying to create. |
| 423 | * DespairEventHorizon: Crossed it during the botched escape attempt as Asclepius caught up to them and Salt's dad took her daughter away. |
| 424 | * EarlyBirdCameo: She appears as early as the first few minutes of Episode 1, however her identity isn't even revealed until Episode 7 (unless you dug out the raw subtitle data and find out the mysterious boat lady is indeed Mimi) and she isn't properly introduced until Episode 10. |
| 425 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Has little dots in the middle of her pupils, unlike every other character in the series. |
| 426 | * IfICantHaveYou: Mimi's literal stance over Cocona, even killing off members of Asclepius who attempt to claim her. |
| 427 | * KickTheDog: |
| 428 | ** While she started off protecting Cocona when possessing her daughter's body, she does not appear to have any intention of letting Cocona regain use of her body willingly. |
| 429 | ** When Papika confronts Mimi, she uses Cocona's voice to remind Papika of Cocona's declaration of hate. |
| 430 | * KickTheSonOfABitch: Mimi kills a majority of Asclepius in Episode 11, but they did have it coming for everything they did. |
| 431 | * KnightOfCerebus: The plot noticeably becomes more serious once Mimi is properly introduced. |
| 432 | * LethalHarmlessPowers: Being capable of making clovers sprout and bloom everywhere? Cute. Killing people by [[{{Transflormation}} turning their bodies into bundles of clovers?]] Absolutely terrifying! |
| 433 | * LiteralSplitPersonality: In the final half of Episode 12, the "old" Mimi suddenly shows up separate from the "new" Mimi to reveal that (prior to [[DealWithTheDevil letting Dark Mimi take over]] to get Cocona away from Asclepius), she wanted Cocona to live her life with total freedom, something she never had while trapped by Asclepius. The "old" Mimi is physically there (well, as "there" as she can be [[MentalWorld in Pure Illusion]]), and proves it by staying with Salt while Papika and Cocona launch their final attack against Dark Mimi, and survives after Dark Mimi is destroyed by Papika and Cocona's final attack against her. |
| 434 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: It literally happened when they were trying to take the infant Cocona away from her. You try to stop her having her way with Cocona, she'll do everything in her power to stop you. |
| 435 | * MamaBear: She will do anything for Cocona as seen in the flashbacks and when she possess Cocona's body. A particularly villainous version of the trope as Mimi will stand at nothing coming in between her and her daughter. |
| 436 | * NightmareFace: Displays this in Episode 13 showcasing her spiraling into insanity. |
| 437 | * OneWingedAngel: Since the power of henshin comes from her in the first place, it should stand no surprise that she is able to transform as well. |
| 438 | * ParasolOfPrettiness: Has one in Episode 12 in the desert PI. |
| 439 | * PhysicalGod: The Amorphous is fragments of her power, after she was banished somehow. When she returns, she shows she can nonchalantly overwrite the entire of reality with Pure Illusion. |
| 440 | * PrehensileHair: Uses it to restrain Papika in Episode 12. |
| 441 | * PunnyName: She is also known as test subject 33. 33 can be pronounced as "Mimi" in Japanese. |
| 442 | * RealityWarper: Is capable of doing so. Episode 12 and 13 has her pretty much rewriting reality itself as Pure Illusion merges with the real world. |
| 443 | * SplitPersonality: It is shown in Episode 11 that she developed a split personality after spending most of her life as a test subject. |
| 444 | * SplitPersonalityTakeover: She allows her darker personality to takeover her body when infant Cocona was being taken away. |
| 445 | ** This is ultimately zig-zagged. Both Salt and Papika point out that after what happened to her, Mimi has become more ruthless, single minded, who wants only to protect Cocona. However, Dark Mimi has pointed out that the original Mimi wished to protect Cocona as well and the other personality is still a part of her. |
| 446 | * SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: After getting her ass kicked, Mimi says "fuck it" and decides she'd rather kill everyone with a black hole than keep trying to protect someone that reacts to her with punches to the face. By this point it's clear she's too angry to care about her daughter or think about what she's doing. |
| 447 | * UnreliableNarrator: When someone remembers a time when Mimi is being kind and gentle, and open-minded about Cocona's future, she twists, sometimes literally, the events to suggest something completely different and sympathetic to her ideals. |
| 448 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Before everything went wrong. |
| 449 | * VillainousBreakdown: Prone to this especially when others interfere on her plans. Her normally calm demeanor breaks as she lashes out at others. |
| 450 | --->'''Mimi (to Papika)''' : I '''hate''' you! I hate hate '''HATE''' you! |
| 451 | * WalkingSpoiler: Even her existence is hinted at in Episode 7, and her name suddenly gets mentioned in the Episode 8 stinger. Shortly thereafter it's revealed she is the only person who could (originally) go to Pure Illusion and that she's Cocona's mother. |
| 452 | * WomanScorned: She hates Salt for not being there for her in dire times and failing to look after Cocona. |
| 453 | * {{Yandere}}: Very obsessive and protective over her daughter. And when Cocona fought back at her, she completely loses it and goes berserk. |
| 454 | * YouAreWhatYouHate: She hated being completely sheltered and boxed in by Asclepius, yet her twisted side tries to do the same to Cocona on a grander scale. |
