| 10 | |
| 11 | A first-year student at the I.S. Academy and Main Protagonist. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Representative Contender for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The pilot of the [[https://imgur.com/sOEoUIX Falkirk's Fury]]. A prototype 3rd Generation close combat [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]]. Josephine stands apart from other Representative Contenders and Cadets in that she does not come from an elite background and has no military history in her family. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Despite being university educated, both of her parents struggle on a daily basis to make ends meet and live in public housing. Josephine grew up having to watch them work menial jobs despite being qualified for very well paying careers. Because of this, her grandmother encouraged her to go above and beyond in her education by giving her books to read and taught her to understand books which would normally be beyond the understanding of children. But Josephine was a gifted child, which her grandmother understood and encouraged. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Josephine would describe herself as being made of salt and vinegar, however, she is actually exactly not that. She is kind and polite, but she can come off as arrogant to those who don’t know her. Because of her extensive reading, she has an extensive vocabulary, and she tends toward verbosity when speaking. |
| 18 | ----- |
| 19 | * AffectionateNickname: Her friends call her Josie. She doesn’t like it at first, but eventually relents and gets used to it. |
| 20 | %% * AlwaysInClassOne: Check. |
| 21 | * AceCustom: The Falkirk’s Fury is a prototype third generation [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]] built for her exclusive use. It is the precursor unit to the Blue Tears. |
| 22 | * AttractivenessIsolation: Her beauty puts off the type of boys she would want to attract and attracts the type of boys she despises. It's a vicious cycle which leaves her forever alone. [[spoiler: In chapter 7, Josephine and Aisha go out for lunch where she meets a boy she finds attractive, and his best friend [[TheCameo Ichika]] sitting in the back. Dan tells Ichika that he doesn't believe he has a chance with her because she's so far out of his league, even after she drops some very strong hints at him.]] |
| 23 | %% * BadassBookworm: Josephine is not a combatant to take lightly. In a flashback, it was shown that part of her pre-training involved using the twin shield bits of the Falkirk's Fury to defend herself against an artillery battalion firing on her during one of their training exercises. [[spoiler: Josephine challenged and defeated Maria for the position of Class Representative. This after Maria had earlier challenged and defeated Jennifer who is ranked 9th out of the top 10 students in the Academy. Jennifer's ranking is implied to be more impressive because only she and the 10th placed student are second-years. The top 8 are all third years.]] |
| 24 | %% * BadassInDistress: [[spoiler: In Chapter 9, she's trapped in a [[PrimalFear dark]] laundry room by Daniella Arad. While Josephine is in panic mode, Arad steals her [[PoweredArmor wrist watch.]] ]] |
| 25 | %% * BerserkButton: CountryMatters. |
| 26 | * BigSisterInstinct: When it comes to her roommates, she goes out of her way to take care of them. When [=McKenna=] didn’t get enough sleep and passed out in the cafeteria, she was treated to a LapPillow from Josephine. Josephine often makes conversation with Maria and tries to get her to open up. |
| 27 | %% * BritishHumour: Lots of it. |
| 28 | * BritishStuffiness: Her vocabulary is second to none, so much so that she is often told to speak English by those around her. She strives to avoid the use of slang and vulgarities. |
| 29 | * CharacterTics: She has a habit of holding her arms under her breasts to support them. She didn't even realize she was doing it until it was pointed out to her. While it was intended to poke fun, it only served to further fuel her DCupDistress. |
| 30 | %% * ChildProdigy: Josephine is the smartest member of the cast by far. But she’s held back by her inexperience. |
| 31 | * ChefOfIron: Everyone looks forward to her cooking. Even if all she knows how to make is a variety of soups, stews, and pasta. She calls it PovertyFood, and doesn't think much of it. But to her friends its ImpossiblyDeliciousFood. |
| 32 | %% * TheChessmaster: She aspires to this. |
| 33 | %% * CunningLinguist: She speaks French at a native level. The first time she meets Aisha Amiri, she steps in to translate and help her in a frustrating situation. The two becomes friends after that. |
| 34 | * CustomUniform: Enlongated skirt befitting her generally conservative fashion sense. While being a Representative Contender allows for some outlandish customizations for the school uniform, Josephine doesn't see the point. |
| 35 | * DCupDistress: She hates her large breasts. |
| 36 | %% * DeadpanSnarker: This side of her is usually brought out by the antics of her [[WithFriendsLikeThese friends]]. |
| 37 | %% * DiabolusExMachina: She seems to always be in trouble with the law, Murphy's law. |
| 38 | * DidntSeeThatComing: Whatever she plans, Murphy comes in to lay down the law. [[spoiler: In Chapter 9, she plans to fight back against her classmates with the help of her friends. But she grossly underestimates how far their ringleader will go to get what she wants.]] |
| 39 | * DudeMagnet: Guys like her. Unfortunately for her, she seems to only be able to attract the wrong sort. In chapter 9 during some ShowerScene thinking, she gets angry while remembering a rich JerkAss driving a green Lamborghini she encountered in London who tried to pick her up at a bus stop by pinching her butt and inviting her for a night on the town. |
| 40 | * DualWielding: She has three sets of dual blades on her Infinite Stratos. |
| 41 | * DopeSlap: A particularly brutal one bordering on BitchSlap. Delivered to Maria in chapter 9 when she uses the one word she doesn't want to hear under her roof. |
| 42 | * DotingGrandparent: She was very close with her grandmother who encouraged her intellectual gifts and supplemented her education with advanced literature. |
| 43 | %%* EtiquetteNazi: Mind your manners at her table. [[PaperFanOfDoom Or else]]. |
| 44 | * DeadpanSnarker: She can deliver brutally cutting remarks while making them sound like compliments. |
| 45 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: In the first chapter, Maria develops an instant crush on Josephine after she introduces herself to the class. When it turned out they were roommates, Josephine had to quickly establish her heterosexuality to nip it in the bud. |
| 46 | * {{Foil}}: She is the good foil to Maria's EvilCounterpart. Both are possessing of genius levels of intelligence, both are well read, and both favor close combat. The key difference which separates them is that Maria is extremely apathetic and Josephine is extremely sympathetic. [[spoiler: Maria's Meteor and Josephine's Falkirk's Fury share very similar weapon load outs designed to achieve the same ends. Except the Fury uses physical weapons and Maria's uses beam weapon technology. A case of retro-tech vs future-tech.]] |
| 47 | * ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask: Josephine does this while reading in class. When called out she's still able to answer questions about class work, much to Chifuyu Orimura's chagrin. |
| 48 | %% * FunbagAirbag: Maria is running for her life from an angry [=McKenna=] in Chapter 10 when she runs into Josephine. |
| 49 | * GamerChick: [=MMORPGs=] are not just a hobby to Josephine, they’re SeriousBusiness. |
| 50 | %% * GratuitousFrench: When interacting with [[BestFriend Aisha]]. |
| 51 | * GratuitousRap: Josephine raps in YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe in Chapter 8 after becoming annoyed by remarks about her breasts. |
| 52 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She’s a blonde who is also a bleeding heart liberal with the goal of becoming Prime Minister to save the world. |
| 53 | %%* HeroesPreferSwords: Josephine has seven swords. |
| 54 | %% * InnocentBlueEyes: Check. |
| 55 | * IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: She was this prior to attending I.S. Academy, leaving her somewhat socially inept and extremely inexperienced with interpersonal conflict resolution. |
| 56 | * KnightInShiningArmor: She has a strong sense of justice and slowly becomes more comfortable with the idea of donning her [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]] to dispense some indiscriminate justice. In Chapter 3, Josephine challenges Maria after she usurps the position of Class Rep from Mayuzumi. Ostensibly she does this because Maria has no business being Class Rep (which is true) but in actuality, she does it to avenge Jennifer's defeat and to try and get some answers out of Maria about that incident. |
| 57 | * LadyOfWar: A well-mannered, well-educated, and well-trained fighter able to stand toe to toe with the best of them. |
| 58 | * MadeOfIndestructium: Her I.S. features two large shield bits which she commands by thought to block incoming attacks. They are strong enough to withstand direct hits from artillery strikes, Maria's Brahmastra and [[{{BFS}} Ascalon]], and even an armor piercing round from [=McKenna's=] [[{{BFG}} Tremblay Special]]. Maria defeated the shield bits during the duel by forcing her way behind the shields where she used her beam boomerangs as knives to destroy their anti-gravity control systems. |
| 59 | %% * MissionControl: During the ActionPrologue she is seen doing this while also participating in the mission. |
| 60 | * NamedWeapons: Her twin greatswords are called "Galatine" and "Calesvol" respectively. Galatine is able to manipulate inertia to increase its striking power by orders of magnitude while Calesvol can flash a bright blinding light to distract enemies. |
| 61 | * OnlySaneMan: Barely. She's pretty salty about a lot of things, but she's still got her marbles, though she rightly fears for them. |
| 62 | * PhenotypeStereotype: She's English, so she's blonde and blue-eyed to play up her being from European country. |
| 63 | * PrimalFear: She suffers from crippling nyctophobia: an extreme fear of night or darkness. |
| 64 | %% * ProperTightsWithASkirt: Check. |
| 65 | %% * RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Maria, Jennifer, and Tatenashi's red. |
| 66 | * ShutterBug: She's always taking pictures with her phone to send back to her parents in England. |
| 67 | %% * SoBeautifulItsACurse: She hates being beautiful. She doesn’t like being complimented on her looks and will change the subject whenever it comes up. |
| 68 | %% * SpockSpeak: She always speaks properly. Unless things have really gone to hell. |
| 69 | %% * TheStrategist: In training. |
| 70 | * WeirdnessMagnet: Everyone she gathers around her is an oddball of some sort who in turn seems to attract something more unbelievable than the last thing. |
| 71 | * WrongSideOfTheTracks: She grew up in total poverty in the city of [[WretchedHive Leeds]] where she was constantly surrounded by crime, rampant unemployment, and only had to look out the window to see desperate hungry people being beaten by the police. It colored her world view but yet she still remains an optimist who believes things can become better with the right policies. Her school used textbooks printed before she was born. [[spoiler: Her nyctophobia is the result of being left home alone as a child without electricity while her parents were out working multiple jobs to try and make some money.]] |

| 74 | [[folder:Maria Cross]] |
| 75 | [[quoteright:253:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maria_87.png]] |
| 76 | [[caption-width-right:253:The yearbook comitee voted her "Most likely to face an international tribunal."]] |
| 77 | |
| 78 | A first-year student at the I.S. Academy. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | Representative Contender for the United States of America. The pilot of the [[https://imgur.com/aD9q8Hs Meteor]]. A prototype 3rd Generation close combat and type [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]]. Almost nothing is known about Maria's history prior to I.S. Academy. Except that she is from Anchorage, Alaska, and spent some time in Nevada. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Maria seemingly has no concept of propriety. She is impolite, crass, and snarky. She is also extremely vindictive, dishing out disproportionate levels of retribution for any perceived slight against her. Because she has no money thanks to the Air Force deciding to keep her salary in trust for her until graduation, she takes a part-time job in the city as a waitress at Bianchi's Restaurant and Pizzeria so she can have some spending money of her own. |
| 83 | ---- |
| 84 | %%* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Her signature weapon is a [[{{BFS}} giant]] [[LaserBlade beam]] [[CoolSword buster sword]]. |
| 85 | * AccidentalPervert: While she is often very intentionally perverted, it's what she does without realizing that gets her in the most trouble. [[spoiler: In the locker room, she accidentally stares too long at someone's breasts, that someone freaked out, and it lead to a nasty confrontation with her [[HeteronormativeCrusader classmates]]. ]] |
| 86 | * AceCustom: |
| 87 | ** The Meteor is a prototype third generation [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]]. It is also the precursor unit to the Silver Gospel. |
| 88 | ** Among her three prized instruments is a black [[ProductPlacement Custom Martin & Co]] acoustic guitar with a tree of life inlay design on the fretboard. It also bears her personal signature inlaid into the bottom of the fretboard so there can be no mistake that it's a one-off crafted for her. |
| 89 | * ActionGirl: She firmly believes that if violence doesn’t solve your problem, you’re not using enough of it. |
| 90 | %% * AlwaysInClassOne: Check. |
| 91 | %% * AxCrazy: Very much. Sword crazy really. |
| 92 | %%* BitchInSheepsClothing: She becomes this after getting a make-over. |
| 93 | %%* BlasphemousBoast: Maria delivers these often. |
| 94 | %%--> "No. I like god just fine. We have a lot in common. We’re both petulant children with an epic vindictive streak who crave praise and attention. We’re also very easy to get along with once you learn to shut up and worship us." |
| 95 | * BloodKnight: She’ll take any excuse to have an I.S. duel. Win or lose, she just loves the fight. |
| 96 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: |
| 97 | %%** Her reaction to Jennifer Hawkins informing her about the condition of her little sister. |
| 98 | ** Jennifer explains that Maria's inaction caused her little sister to be paralyzed from the neck down after crashing into the Grand Canyon during joint I.S. testing. Maria didn't even remember having that I.S. battle until she really tried to recall it. |
| 99 | * ChildProdigy: Maria is this with music. She can play a wide range of instruments and sings well according to some of the characters. |
| 100 | * CunningLinguist: Maria speaks English, [[GratuitousSpanish Spanish]], and [[GratuitousItalian Italian]] at a native level. According to her she also speaks passable [[GratuitousFrench French]] and [[GratuitousGerman German]], and some basic [[GratuitousForeignLanguage Mandarin]]. She is also learning [[GratuitousJapanese Japanese]]. |
| 101 | * CustomUniform: Originally Maria didn't bother, she simply opted for a necktie instead of a ribbon and that was that. After getting a make-over she gets advised by her colleague Chiyomi to do something with her wardrobe to show off the assets she does have and [[ACupAngst downplay those she doesn't]]. |
| 102 | * CuteAndPsycho: |
| 103 | ** While Maria may seem cute and adorable, it's actually only a very thin disguise that works until she opens her [[SirSwearsALot venomous mouth]]. |
| 104 | ** Aisha remarks on meeting Maria for the first time that she seems nice. Josephine cautions her that she only ''seems'' nice and warns her that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ Its A Trap]]. |
| 105 | * CuteBruiser: If not for her [[TokenMiniMoe small stature]] she would be well on her way to eventually becoming an AmazonianBeauty. Maria has clearly defined muscles, and everyone on the receiving end of her brutality is stunned by how strong she is [[PintsizedPowerhouse relative to her size]]. Maria works out every morning and is proud of her body. [[spoiler: She [[FormerlyFat used to be fat]] but then she started working out a lot.]] |
| 106 | * CuttingThroughEnergy: |
| 107 | ** Maria's [[{{BFS}} Ascalon]] can be overclocked to do immense damage. |
| 108 | ** After a long and grueling battle, Maria uses the overclocked [[LaserBlade Ascalon]] to defeat Jennifer Hawkins in a single blow to end their grudge match. |
| 109 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Maria seems to go out of her way to play up and play down different aspects of her personality, skills, and abilities. |
| 110 | * DisproportionateRetribution: It’s almost like a religion to her. |
| 111 | ** [[spoiler: In Chapter 3 Maria sets off the fire sprinklers after being rejected by the Music Club. She causes a lot of damage with this.]] |
| 112 | ** [[spoiler: Another example comes in Chapter 4. When Mayuzumi messed with Josephine, Maria glued her shoes to her locker. Forcing her to walk around barefooted.]] |
| 113 | %%* EstablishingCharacterMoment: See DisproportionateRetribution above. |
| 114 | * EvilCounterpart: She is this to Josephine in a lot of ways. Both posses genius levels of intelligence, both are well-read, and both favor close combat. The key difference which separates them is that Maria is extremely apathetic and Josephine is extremely sympathetic. |
| 115 | ** Maria's Meteor and Josephine's Falkirk's Fury share very similar weapon load-outs designed to achieve the same ends. Except the Fury uses physical weapons and Maria's uses beam weapon technology. A case of retro-tech vs future-tech. |
| 116 | * FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: She looks cute and huggable. But those who know her, know how sick, depraved, twisted, and vicious she really is. So much so that everyone who does, for whatever reason, consider her a friend, has to keep her on a very tight leash. |
| 117 | * FanGirl: She's a very big fan of Maya's. So much so that she developed her entire style of I.S. combat by ripping off her moves. When Maya was first introduced to the class, Maria was the only one who knew who she was |
| 118 | * ForcedOutOfTheCloset: [[spoiler: Daniella Arad finds out that Maria is gay and then takes an opportunity provided by Maria's wandering eyes in the locker room to out her to the class and cause the girls to freak out about being forced to change in front of a lesbian.]] |
| 119 | * ForeignCussWord: She speaks 6 languages and is working on a 7th. She's equally vulgar in all of them. |
| 120 | * FormerlyFat: [=McKenna=] does some cyber-stalking and discovers that Maria used to be fat. The weight loss combined with her {{UsefulNotes/Bodybuilding}} makes her unrecognizable to her ex-girlfriend whom [=McKenna=] tried to contact for information about Maria. |
| 121 | * FruitOfTheLoon: Maria's always munching on apples. It's then revealed that she steals them from the school cafeteria. |
| 122 | * GlacierWaif: Small girl with a [[{{BFS}} big sword]]. |
| 123 | * HatesEveryoneEqually: She really does. Within five minutes of knowing you, she'll have some deep cutting remarks ready to go. If you take it personal, that's okay. |
| 124 | %%* HairIntakes: Maria gains these after getting treated to a make-over by Maya Yamada. |
| 125 | %%* HotForTeacher: She has a big crush on Maya. |
| 126 | * JabbaTableManners: She has no table manners whatsoever. Something Josephine has made her mission to correct. While eating Chili made by [=McKenna=], Maria scarfs it down like there's no tomorrow, saying she wants to drown in it. Josephine compares and contrasts her to a picture sent to her by Aisha of her three-year-old brother being less sloppy than Maria. |
| 127 | * {{Jerkass}}: [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem She does whatever she wants whenever she wants, to anyone she wants]]. Because she's a [[AcePilot Representative Contender]] she gets away with things that would get regular students expelled. But not always. (See LaserGuidedKarma below.) |
| 128 | * LackOfEmpathy: |
| 129 | ** When told about what happened to Jennifer's younger sister due to her own inaction, she didn't seem to care. |
| 130 | ** [[spoiler: After the aforementioned scene, Maria is given the third-degree by Josephine. Rather than face the inquisition she gets up and leaves. She's then seen walking away with her fists clenched tightly enough to draw blood from her palms. The reason for this reaction to the situation is not explained.]] |
| 131 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Her over the top antics are always punished. It’s fair to say that most, if not all the problems faced by the main cast in the first ten chapters are the result of her attitude problem. |
| 132 | ** [[spoiler: Her bad attitude causes her to be rejected by the school music club.]] |
| 133 | ** [[spoiler: When Mayuzumi comes to the cafeteria on behalf of the class to ask Josephine to stop misbehaving and getting everyone extra homework, Maria lashes out with racist insults, and of course, FlippingTheBird. This leads to an escalation.]] |
| 134 | ** [[spoiler: Her holocaust referencing insult to Daniella Arad lands her on latrine duty, made worse by her extreme [[TerrifiedOfGerms germophobia]].]] |
| 135 | * LetMeAtHim: Maria is one major incident away from expulsion, so Josephine is constantly having to hold her back from fights. |
| 136 | * MisanthropeSupreme: Borderline. Everyone fears she could go over the edge if given an excuse. |
| 137 | -->"See… This is what I don't understand about you. You're so unbelievably callous to strangers. But I saw your face when [=McKenna's=] unlock triggered. I saw how relieved you were when Miss Orimura saved her from that fall. Are you so incapable of understanding that other lives matter beyond the ones which matter to you?" |
| 138 | --> "Blame Darwin for that. We all have an evolutionary imperative to give a shit about the people close to us. But there's also an evolutionary imperative not to give a shit about anybody else. If we cared about all people indiscriminately, we couldn't survive. A hundred thousand years of successful adaptation in a survival of the fittest kind of world can't be wrong Josie." |
| 139 | * NamedWeapons: Her [[{{BFS}} buster sword]] is called [[MeaningfulName "Ascalon"]] for the lance (or sword in some stories) of Saint George which he used to slay a dragon and rescue a princess. |
| 140 | * NayTheist: In Maria's own words, she believes in god, but holds him in contempt. |
| 141 | --> "But you're not a believer yourself I take it?"\ |
| 142 | "Yes and no. It's complicated. I believe that there is a god, but I also believe that if you take him at his literal word like the Evangelicals say you should, then he is someone who is worthy of little more than my contempt."\ |
| 143 | "So you believe in god, but you don't believe he should be worshiped?"\ |
| 144 | "Exactly."\ |
| 145 | "So why believe at all? How does that work?"\ |
| 146 | "It's a contradiction. I know. But it's not any different than say, the U.S. President. Even if he doesn't represent me, my views, or my policies, he's still there and doing whatever he can to [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] with my life. If you ask me, that's god as well." |
| 147 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: It is heavily implied that much of Maria's obliviousness or ignorance is an act. |
| 148 | ** Maria is able to hold a complex and profoundly deep philosophical discussion with Josephine where she defends her own apathy as a necessary trait for human survival. |
| 149 | ** [=McKenna=] becomes frustrated trying to figure out how Maria programmed her own I.S. to play music for her. Implying that Maria posses far above average programming skills. Something [=McKenna=] considered an impossibility given that in Chapter 1 she couldn't even disable the parental controls on their cable TV box. |
| 150 | ** In Chapter 9 it is revealed that she was hiding her I.S. unit's third-generation ability, which is [[spoiler: electronic warfare]]. |
| 151 | ** In Chapter 9, Maria reveals that she is able to solve linear equations in her head and that she is what [=McKenna=] called a "Human Calculator". |
| 152 | * {{Otaku}}: She's on the path to becoming this. On her first night in the school dorm, Maria discovers Anime for the first time and becomes instantly hooked. While [[GamerChick Josephine]] stays up late to play her [=MMOs=], Maria stays up late to watch Anime. |
| 153 | * OutOfTheClosetIntoTheFire: While Maria never tried to hide her sexuality at I.S. Academy, she also didn't advertise it outside of her social circle. Once outted by her classmates, she discovers that I.S. Academy is largely unaccepting. |
| 154 | %%* PsychoLesbian: Very much so. |
| 155 | * RageAgainstTheHeavens: She has declared war on god himself. |
| 156 | ** After defeating Jennifer Hawkins, Maria is visited by some of her classmates who wish to thank her for putting [[RedBaron "The Tasmanian Devil"]] in her place. They mention she has no friends and laugh at her, and Maria points out that she has god as a friend. They laugh, and then Maria declares that god also got his butt kicked in their duel. |
| 157 | %%* RavenHairIvorySkin: After her make-over, Maria becomes this. |
| 158 | %%* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Red eyes, black hair. Evil. |
| 159 | %%* RedEyesTakeWarning: Check. Even Josephine knew those sinister eyes meant she was bad news on day one. |
| 160 | %%* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Josephine and [=McKenna's=] blue. |
| 161 | * SheCleansUpNicely: After being treated to a salon visit by Maya and buying some new clothes Maria becomes quite the head-turner. It doesn't do anything for her [[BitchInSheepsClothing personality]] though. |
| 162 | * SirSwearsALot: She’s the most vulgar and profane member of the main cast. Only Chiyomi cussing up a storm in Japanese and Lorenzo in Italian are her equals. |
| 163 | %%* TerrifiedOfGerms: Maria is extremely mysophobic. |
| 164 | %%* ThoseTwoGirls: With Chiyomi. |
| 165 | %%* TokenEvilTeammate: Most certainly. |
| 166 | * TokenMiniMoe: At 4'8", she is the shortest of the main cast. |
| 167 | * TooKinkyToTorture: Maria is a masochist who was brought to orgasm by being defeated in an I.S. match by Josephine. |
| 168 | %%* VitriolicBestBuds: With Chiyomi. |
| 169 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Maria is an exemplar of this. |
| 170 | ** [[spoiler: In chapter 2 she used her [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]] to fly from the I.S. Academy to the city to get pizza for herself and her roommates.]] |
| 171 | ** [[spoiler: The Meteor's Image Interface Technology (3rd Generation Ability) is for Electronic Warfare. Which she employs almost exclusively for mischief.]] |
| 172 | * WorkoutFanService: Subverted. While Maria is exercising one morning, Josephine and [=McKenna=] discuss how comfortable they've all gotten with each other. Maria responds to this by being a {{Gasshole}}. |
| 173 | %%* {{Yandere}}: Maria’s ruthlessness and complete lack of empathy tilt her towards this. |

| 177 | [[quoteright:253:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mckenna_9.png]] |

| 179 | |
| 180 | A first-year student at the I.S. Academy. |
| 181 | |
| 182 | Representative Contender for Canada. The pilot of the [[https://imgur.com/W9tfeZO Vimy Glide]]. A prototype 3rd Generation artillery type [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]]. [=McKenna=] comes from a military family starting from her great-grandfather who was one of the first WWI fighter pilots. After the war he moved from Québec to the Yukon Territory to find a living, which he did by smuggling whiskey into Alaska during prohibition, he became very wealthy from this and bought a large plot of land on which he built a big, beautiful house in which the Tremblay family lives to this day. |
| 183 | |
| 184 | Both her father and older brother are tank commanders in the Royal Canadian Army. She is loyal to her friends but doesn’t hold back her anger when they overstep their bounds or do something to annoy her. She gets particularly frustrated with Maria for watching TV all night, and Josephine for talking loudly on voice chat with her MMO raiding partners all night. |
| 185 | |
| 186 | She draws and retains the attention of Tatenashi Sarashiki even after stating clearly that is is both straight, and in a [[DestructiveRomance serious relationship]]. [=McKenna=] can never quite tell if she's seriously coming onto her, or just trying to provoke an amusing reaction out of her. One way or another, Tatenashi seems to always get what she wants from her. |
| 187 | ---- |
| 188 | %%* AffectionateNickname: "Kenny" |
| 189 | * TheAce: She's an exceptionally gifted I.S. Pilot able to go toe to toe with Chifuyu Orimura and lose only because of their experience gap, not their skill gap. |

It is in that moment where [=McKenna=] finds herself actually being attracted to her. Though she dismisses the thought and denies it to Maria when asked.]] |
| 193 | * AntiAir: The Vimy Glide can load anti-air munitions. [[spoiler: During a practical training session, [=McKenna=] and Maria are ordered to demonstrate a ground to air battle.

Her unit specializes in the delivery of destruction through the direct application of applied science in the field of demolitions by means of high-explosive and armor-piercing ordinance. Her unit's third generation Image Interface System is a [[AgonyBeam sonic weapon]] intended to [[TortureAlwaysWorks disable]] opponents and maintain range against them. In plain English, she is a badass who will [[HulkingOut don her Infinite Stratos]] and become a PersonOfMassDestruction when [[DoNotTauntCthulhu provoked]]. [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou Do you really want to make her angry?]] |

| 202 | ** [=McKenna=] uses Jack Daniel's as a secret ingredient in her Chili. The first time she made it for her roommates, [[BadAssTeacher Chifuyu Orimura]] stops by and decides to eat with them.

| 209 | * DestructiveRomance: With her boyfriend. He keeps her under his control even while she's on the other side of the planet by making her chat with him online and demands that she call him often.

| 210 | %%* DopeSlap: She often delivers these to Maria and Tatenashi when they go overboard. |

In close combat, she fights like a Hockey enforcer and can gain range by messing you up with her [[MakeMeWannaShout Sonic Cannon]]. If all else fails she'll unleash a MacrossMissileMassacre to finish the job. |
| 218 | %%* MacrossMissileMassacre: Her Vimy Glide delivers this. However, it bites her back when [[BadassTeacher Chifuyu Orimura]] guides the missile swarm to back into her face. |

| 221 | * NiceGirl: When we are first introduced to her, she's overly polite, cautious, shy, and reserved. In every way the stereotypical Canadian.

| 234 | |
| 235 | Jennifer tends to be abrasive with people she isn't on good terms with. She is a devout Catholic which brings her into constant conflict with the people around her, especially Maria because of her propensity for blasphemy. Jennifer's hatred for Maria goes beyond that, however. She places the sole blame for her younger sister's quadriplegia on Maria because she didn't even attempt to save her from a lethal fall after her [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]] malfunctioned. |
| 236 | ---- |
| 237 | * AffectionateNickname: "Tazzy" given to her by Maria Cross. Much to her chagrin, it catches on with the whole group. |

| 241 | ** She phones her sister every day to see how she's doing and to make sure she's in good spirits after her [[DreamCrushingHandicap incident]] with Maria. |
| 242 | ** She intends to visit China to spend some time with Rin and cross some things off her bucket list. |
| 243 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: No matter how hard she tries to present herself as a NiceGirl, she inevitably does something to remind everyone exactly why they call her [[RedBaron The Tasmanian Devil]]. |
| 244 | * BrassBalls: Fear is her sustenance. Even with automatic weaponry pointed at her she doesn't lose her defiant attitude. |
| 245 | --> "Jenny? Think you can deploy and cover us?"\ |
| 246 | Jennifer shook her head. "My shield is too big for this tight space."\ |
| 247 | "We can't fight our way out of this. We should just do what they say for now and seize the opportunity when it comes," said an icy Maria.\ |
| 248 | "You mean IF it comes! What the hell did you get us into Maria?! I'm going to kick your ass so badly you won't be able to sit down for the rest of your miserable life!" yelled Jennifer.\ |

| 255 | %%* CustomUniform: A very Australian version with rolled up shirt sleeves. |

| 257 | * GoldMakesEverythingShiny: Her I.S. has a lot of gold detailing. |
| 258 | * HatesEveryoneEqually: When she gets going, she really goes all out. A favorite of hers is to bring out the slurs. Racial, cultural, anything she can pick out. |
| 259 | ** When she first met Josephine, she called her a "Limey". |
| 260 | ** She refers to her homeroom teacher as a "WASP". |
| 261 | ** She is particularly provoked by Maria's homosexuality, especially when she rubs it in Jennifer's face. It's unknown if she's homophobic or if this stems from her hatred of Maria. |
| 262 | %%* HolierThanThou: She seems to aspire to it. Not very successfully though. |
| 263 | * {{Jerkass}}: It doesn't take much to catch her on a bad day, they're all bad days. According to Chifuyu Orimura, the longest she ever had a roommate was one week. She's also got a HairTriggerTemper. |

| 265 | * NervesOfSteel: Her hobbies include: [[RoofHopping Leaping great hights]], getting around in [[LeParkour style]]. Her favorite spot to chill and vegetate is on [[ThePrecariousLedge the cliffs]], and she actually likes [[LiteralCliffhanger cliffhangers]]. |
| 266 | %%* RedBaron: "The Tasmanian Devil" |
| 267 | * RedOnesGoFaster: Her Infinite Stratos is very red and very fast. While not as fast as Maria's Meteor, in the confined space of the battle arena, the difference is negligible. |
| 268 | %%* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Josephine's blue. |
| 269 | %%* RoofHopping: Her favorite mode of travel. |
| 270 | * SawedOffShotgun: Sort of. She uses a British made Starlight Mark II beam sniper rifle which she modified by stripping off the casings to reduce the weight and cut the barrel in half to function as a high-powered beam rifle for medium range combat. The result isn't pretty to look at, but it is [[BoringButPractical effective]]. |
| 271 | %%* ThrillSeeker: She'd be the poster girl for this. |
| 272 | %%* {{Tsundere}}: Her HairTriggerTemper and {{Jerkass}} tendencies tilt her towards this. |

| 280 | |
| 281 | Tatenashi can be summarized in two words: Mischievous and devious. But she is also incredibly ambitious, striving to build her own [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]] with the help of her closest friends as a fun project, her ambition only grows from there. She also enjoys teasing people to get amusing reactions out of them, her unfortunate victims are mostly [=McKenna=] Tremblay and Utsuho Nohotoke. Despite her tendency to tease others, Tatenashi has also shown moments of being flustered, mostly as a result of her growing attraction to [=McKenna=].

| 285 | * ForeignCussWord: When it comes to profanity, she normally sticks to her native Japanese. But she also cusses in English sometimes, so a Merit Badge in "ForeignCussWord" is deserved here. |
| 286 | * GenkiGirl: Very energetic and cheerful. Frustratingly so to some. |
| 287 | * GoodBadGirl: She is ''completely'' frank and comfortable with her sexuality, ''knows'' and ''openly-acknowledges'' that she is cute-and-sexy while enjoying ''every'' second of it. She enjoys getting a rise out of her friends, especially [=McKenna=] and [=Utsuho=]. What they consider sexual harassment, she considers harmless teasing. While she may go too far with her ''teasing'' sometimes, she is redeemed in the eyes of both of her friends because of her other, more positive, attributes. |
| 288 | %%* JoustingLance: Her weapon. Which she co-designed with [=McKenna Tremblay=]. |

| 302 | |
| 303 | Teaching for the first time is a nerve-wracking experience for anyone and Maya does not make it look easy, in fact, she has a very difficult time being taken seriously by her students (With the notable exception of Maria Cross who [[HotForTeacher worships the ground she walks on]]). This is especially true of the third-year students who just can't seem to treat her any differently because they still consider her their most beloved [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics senpai]] from when she was a third-year student. |

| 312 | ** [[spoiler: In Chapter 8, Maria has garbage thrown all over her and goes into a complete panic. In desperation, her friends resort to calling Maya for help.

However, contrary to the first impression he creates, Lorenzo is actually exceptionally good-natured and hospitable, going the extra mile to make every customer enjoy themselves to the fullest, well, almost every customer... At Bianchi's, the official policy is that customer is never right. As a matter of principal, Lorenzo will only serve real authentic Italian food and is wholly uncompromising.

The pilot of the Tianlong, a third generation prototype close and medium range combat [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]]. She is a classmate of Tatenashi Sarashiki and is apparently well-liked enough to be made the class Representative, though she believes this has more to do with her personal I.S. being considered one of the most powerful of the first-year student's and not so much her overall popularity among her peers. |

| 451 | |
| 452 | Celeste has a sweet personality and is very polite to everyone. She is generally considered harmless by the other students unless she’s in an I.S. match, where her skill is unrivaled. In her first year, she was a very close friend of the then third-year student Maya Yamada whom she credits for helping her adjust, make friends, and become a strong pilot and person. |

| 469 | A third-year student at the I.S. Academy. Representative Cadet for the State of Israel. The pilot of a custom 2nd Generation Fang Quake, an [[PoweredArmor Infinite Stratos]] said to be so grotesquely powerful that it is required that the versions used by I.S. Academy students be severely neutered compared to the military versions. While less powerful than its military counterparts, the custom Fang Quake used by Avigale is still exceptionally formidable. |
| 470 | |
| 471 | Avigale is intelligent and mature. She approaches every situation calmly and rationally. She avoids entertaining her knee-jerk reactions and tries her best to gather all of the facts before making conclusions. Avigale has a reputation for taking a hardline stance against bullies and is often sought out by other students to help them resolve their interpersonal conflicts. Her beauty is said to be second only to Chiho Akagi in the I.S. Academy. |

| 475 | * AmbiguouslyBi: When Maria first meets her at Bianchi's, she's instantly attracted to her. Avigale shoots her down by telling her she's in a long-term relationship with an unspecified partner. But she also says that if she weren't in that relationship, she would have said yes. It could easily have been a case of letting her down easy though as Avigale seems the sort to appreciate what it takes to put yourself out there like that. She does have a reputation as everyone's go-to mediator. |
