12	----
13	* AdaptationalDumbass: While part of the fact that Lelouch twigs on to Igor being evil a lot faster than Joker ever did can be attributed to Lelouch being smarter, a much bigger part can be attributed to this version of Igor being much, much poorer of a manipulator. From the very beginning, he is condescending, arrogant, unpleasant, and controlling, making it very clear that he is not to be trusted.
14	* AdaptationalJerkass: Igor is portrayed as a ControlFreak, shows NoSympathy towards Naoto's death, and scares the piss out of Shi. Additionally, he's rather disparaging of mankind as a whole, making a point to note the sins that influence each of the Phantom Thieves and being skeptical as to whether they can be redeemed. [[spoiler:Those familiar with the game's BigBad know why he's acting this way.]]
15	* BadBoss: He berates and punishes Tsu for stepping even slightly out of line, and as things spiral more out of his control, he continues to make clear the only thing holding him back from punishing Lelouch and Nunnally is that he still needs them to avert Ragnarok.
16	* CanonImmigrant: While the rest of the cast is taken from ''Code Geass'', he is the only direct holdover from the ''Persona'' series.
17	* CommonalityConnection: One thing he and Lelouch are in ''complete'' agreement is that they don't like Charles zi Britannia at all.
18	* DisappointedInYou: He seems still bitter about his first choice for the Trickster meant to stop Ragnarok irremediably failing to awaken to the Power of the Wild Card. [[spoiler:He's also quite petty about this, displaying a tendency to badmouth Leila whenever she happens to be mentioned in his conversations with Lelouch.]]
19	* EnemyMine: While Lelouch trusts him about as far as he can throw him, [[spoiler:and even ''that'' breaks down as the story goes on]], he still accepts Igor's aid to take down their mutual enemy Charles.
20	* EvilVersusEvil: [[spoiler:Chapter 67 confirms that he has this relationship with Charles and Victor and that destroying him is a big part of their goals.]]
21	* HairTriggerTemper: Easy to anger when questioned.
22	* {{Hypocrite}}:
23	** While his hatred for Charles is undeniable, Chapter 61 indicates that Igor shares Charles' [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist Views]], as he admits to favoring giving the power of the Wild Card to those of Noble blood -- e.g. Lelouch, Naoto, [[spoiler:Nunnally, Marrybel, and Leila.]]
24	** Lelouch notes that his criticisms of [[spoiler:Leila are hypocritical in his determination to paint her as suffering from the Deadly Sin of Vanity. First he says that she wasn't selfish ''enough'' to become a Wild Card, then later he accuses her of being vain and selfish with her appearance when she mainly uses her cosmetics to keep people from suspecting her true allegiances by keeping up appearances.]]
25	* ObviouslyEvil: Between his ControlFreak tendencies and general assholishness, Lelouch quickly realizes that Igor is not acting in his best interests early on.
26	* SinisterSurveillance: Lelouch soon realizes that Igor keeps tabs on him through supernatural means, and takes care of obscuring and disguising many of his actions under the assumption he's been watched.
27	* SmugSnake: Lelouch's opinion of him. Igor thinks he's a master manipulator, but Lelouch immediately pegs him as untrustworthy.
28	* VillainousBreakdown: Occurs gradually, but more intensely, the more Mementos gets distorted, and thus allows for things he can neither control nor predict, [[spoiler:such as Lelouch developing a bond with Shadow Nunnally.]]
29	* YouDidntAsk: Igor tends to reveal he always knew important information that Lelouch had to come across the hard way. This is one of the reasons why Lelouch doesn't fully trust him.

65	!!Sayoko Shinozaki
66	->'''Arcana:''' V. The Hierophant
67	The caretaker of both Lelouch and Nunnally, in service to the Ashfords.
68	----
69	* BadassNormal: Sayoko manages to give a Persona user a run for her money without having one herself in Chapter 41.
70	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Sayoko is a ConsummateProfessional BadassNormal NinjaMaid and just ''weird'' in everything else. For example, she's singularly approving of the misconception painting Lelouch as a LovableSexManiac [[TheCasanova ladies' man]] and ''{{sincer\|ityMode}}ely'' congratulates him when she hears that two girls are head over heels in love with him [[spoiler:and have agreed to share him]] with an "I always knew you had it in you."
71	* EntertaininglyWrong: When Lelouch reveals himself as the leader of the Black Knights, Sayoko admits she'd noticed that he'd been acting differently recently, but assumed it was because of a secret lover.
72	* HeroSecretService:
73	** Sayoko bodyguards Nunnally in the real world, [[spoiler:and helps Lelouch train so he can be more effective in both fights and infiltrations in the Metaverse.]]
74	** She plays a more prominent role prior and during the BlackTieInfiltration at the MasqueradeBall, where she impersonated a member of the embassy staff, compromising the security system for [[spoiler:Nina Einstein]] to hack into, and unlocked doors and distracted guards in order to make Lelouch's part of the BlackTieInfiltration a lot easier.
75	* InternalReveal: [[spoiler:Lelouch tells her about the Metaverse in Chapter 41 in order to recruit her help to save Nunnally, who was just kidnapped by Mao.]]
76	* MundaneUtility: Sayoko uses her NinjaMaid skills to smuggle several [[SmashingWatermelons large watermelons and a bokken]] to the BeachEpisode. Lelouch has no idea how she did it without anyone noticing.
77	* StealthExpert: She's a NinjaMaid, so it comes with the job description. A plot point during the Fifth Palace StoryArc, when turning down a Cognitive barrier required the Black Knights to infiltrate an embassy for real and Lelouch turned to Sayoko to get it done.
78	* SustainedMisunderstanding: She keeps witnessing stuff painting Lelouch as TheCasanova with a very active (and kinky) sex life. He has tried multiple times to set the record straight, but Sayoko remains steadfast and ''approving'' in her belief her master is a highly successful LovableSexManiac. [[spoiler:The fact that he has ''actually'' formed a harem by the later chapters has not helped this perception.]]

81	[[folder:Shirley Fenette (Lovers)]]

97	[[folder:Suzaku Kururugi (Justice)]]
98	!!Suzaku Kururugi
99	->'''Arcana:''' VIII. Justice
100	The son of the late Japanese Prime Minister, and Lelouch's childhood friend.
101	----
102	* AdaptationalWimp: While Suzaku retains his melee skills, there's no indication that he's a badass Knightmare Frame AcePilot like in canon because [[ForWantOfANail this Lelouch doesn't start the chain of events]] [[FallingIntoTheCockpit that put him in the Lancelot's cockpit]].
103	* DemotedToExtra: Suzaku is the biggest example in the story. In the original ''Code Geass'', he was the unquestioned {{Deuteragonist}}. Here, he remains a side character [[spoiler:until Chapter 58.]]
104	* FairWeatherFriend: He suddenly becomes popular in Ashford Academy after people realize he's [[spoiler:the knight who saved Princess Euphemia from getting kidnapped ([[FrameUp allegedly by the Black Knights]]), meaning that he has direct contact with royalty]]. These are the same classmates that at best ignored him before for being an "Eleven"/Honorary Britannian attending a school for the elite.
105	* FallingIntoTheCockpit: {{Averted\|Trope}}. [[ForWantOfANail Without his Geass from canon]], Lelouch doesn't push the first domino that started the ContrivedCoincidence that put Suzaku -- an Honorary Britannian and thus normally ineligible for it -- in the cockpit of the [[SuperPrototype Lancelot]] during the Battle of Shinjuku at the beginning of the anime.
106	* InSpiteOfANail: Suzaku still sees things through BlackAndWhiteMorality lenses despite his father [[DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation dying in different circumstances from canon]].
107	* ThisIsUnforgivable: His reaction to the mistaken idea that [[spoiler:the Black Knights killed Shirley's father.]]
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Nina Einstein (Hermit)]]
111	!!Nina Einstein
112	->'''Arcana:''' IX. The Hermit
113	A scientifically-minded member of the Student Council.
114	----
115	* BigDamnHeroes: Kallen, Lelouch, and [[spoiler:Princess Euphemia]] rescue Nina when she gets attacked by four delinquents after taking a wrong turn into a back alley during the summer trip and her xenophobia made her drop racial slurs that got them very angry at her, very, very fast. [[spoiler:The incident makes Nina fascinated with the princess.]]
116	* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: While Nina asked for her heart to be changed and changing her heart was unarguably an improvement in her life, Lelouch worries about how drastic her personality change was. For example, she was completely fine with breaking the law to help the Black Knights in Chapter 55, something she wouldn't have ever done before.
117	* CategorismAsAPhobia: Nina's xenophobia as in the series. Unlike canon, becoming a Confidant makes Lelouch and the narration pay more attention to her and her issues, leading to the InternalReveal that her racism against "Elevens" comes from untreated PTSD resulting from an incident in her childhood where she got lost in a ghetto and was assaulted by a group of Japanese men. There's also hints of elements of ParalyzingFearOfSexuality -- specifically, [[DoesNotLikeMen androphobia]] selective to Japanese men -- to her issues, which could be the result of a real or perceived NearRapeExperience, but there's no confirmation of this as of Chapter 47. [[spoiler:Chapter 52 confirms she was raped by a Japanese man at a young age.]]
118	* CompositeCharacter: Is one to Yuuki Mishima and Futaba Sakura from ''VideoGame/Persona5'' - she has Futaba's arcana and hacking abilities and [[spoiler:calls in her own change of heart]], but [[spoiler:the Mementos target that the team must face for her Confidant is ''Shadow Nina'', just like with Mishima.]]
119	* DefiledForever: An ImpliedTrope from the hints of RapeAsBackstory and her awkwardness around her prettier friends. [[spoiler:Chapter 52 confirms she really thinks this of herself.]]
120	* ExactWords: In order to explain away her obvious personality change after the Black Knights stole her heart, Nina told people the exact truth: she asked them to do it. Of course, she knew people would simply assume she posted a request in the [=KnightWatch=] website, but actually she did it in person, albeit before learning Lelouch was a member. For his part, Lelouch completed the illusion by having the site admin post such a request with a fake timestamp to match the misconception.
121	* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She drops her braids after her Change of Heart.
122	* HollywoodHacking: {{Averted\|Trope}}. What is shown of her hacking skills is remarkably plausible. Particularly her running a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botnet botnet]] to the processing power to run her physics simulations and especially her compromising [[spoiler:the Chinese embassy]]'s security systems, the latter because it's only thanks to [[spoiler:[[NinjaMaid Sayoko]] bodily sneaking into the place and opening their systems for her through [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_access physical access]]]] that she's able to hack into such a secure network.
123	* HomemadeInventions: Lelouch is taken aback when Nina shows him a homemade ''Knightmare Frame'' she's been building with the materials he provides her. It's far from an operative stage, but even that much progress with its construction is well above what can be expected of a seemingly OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent.
124	* InSpiteOfANail: [[spoiler:Nina becomes fascinated with Princess Euphemia after she saved her from some delinquents despite the HostageSituation in Lake Kawaguchi Hotel/Convention Center never taking place in this story.]]
125	* {{Irony}}: She has a phobia of Japanese people due to her RapeAsBackstory. [[spoiler:The Persona she provides Lelouch is Ongyo-ki, a Japanese figure.]]
126	* MissionControl: Her role during the BlackTieInfiltration at the MasqueradeBall.
127	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Her personality change after the Black Knights stole her heart is too drastic to have any hope of hiding it or keep people from connecting it to the Black Knights. To prevent people from trying to look for a connection between her and the vigilantes, Nina "comes clean" and says she herself asked the Black Knights to change her own heart -- which is [[ExactWords technically true]] because she said just that in front of one of their members (Lelouch).
128	* PlayfulHacker: Thanks to their Confidant bond, Lelouch learned that she's a variant of this. To be specific, Nina learned how to hack into computer networks such as universities in order to take advantage of their underused processing power to run her complex physics simulations through [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing parallel computing]]. She [[InsistentTerminology refers to this as "scrumping"]], apparently to set it apart from the more commonly criminal applications of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botnet Botnets]].
129	* RapeAsBackstory: {{Discussed\|Trope}}. Lelouch suspects this from the seemingly deliberate ambiguity in the retelling of the incident that made Nina afraid of Japanese people, plus how it took her longer to get used to a guy like Suzaku than a woman like Sayoko. [[spoiler:Her Shadow in Chapter 52 confirms that she was raped in the past by a group of Japanese men when she got lost in one of the ghettos. Based on the comments offered, ''it happened when she was just a child''.]]
130	* SecretKeeper: Learns that Lelouch is connected to the Black Knights when her heart is changed after expressing a desire for it to him (despite saying she was going to anonymously post her request on KnightWatch, she ultimately didn't).

141	[[folder:Kyoshiro Tohdoh (Strength)]]
142	!!Kyoshiro Tohdoh
143	->'''Arcana:''' XI. Strength
144	A Lieutenant Colonel who trained Suzaku, as well as being responsible for the Miracle of Itsukushima.
145	----
146	* OutsideContextProblem: Like Cornelia, he's a traditional soldier that's part of a resistance whose leadership is being assassinated by supernatural means. He thus requests the aide of the Black Knights to help save the JLF.
147	* SecretKeeper: He's let in on Lelouch still being alive and the leader of the Black Knights by Ch 64.
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Jeremiah Gottwald (Hanged Man)]]
151	!!Jeremiah Gottwald
152	->'''Arcana:''' XII. The Hanged Man
153	A Britannian soldier formerly serving under the late Empress Marianne.
154	----
155	* AdaptationalBadass: In canon, he never really succeeds at anything until R2. Here, he (or at least his shadow) ends up being a MiniBoss the team has to face following their victory against Villetta's shadow.
156	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Grows a great deal nicer after the Black Knights best him in battle. [[JustifiedTrope They did inform him where to find Lelouch and Nunnally, after all]].
157	* FreudianSlip: [[spoiler:Jeremiah lets slip in front of Lelouch he found Marianne more than a bit attractive.]]
158	* HeelFaceTurn: Jeremiah does one way ahead of schedule. {{Justified\|Trope}}, as [[spoiler:Lelouch is able to realize how loyal Jeremiah is to the late Empress Marianne while fighting his Shadow Self and decides to give him a hint as to where he's been hiding.]]
159	* HeroSecretService: [[spoiler:Jeremiah's off-screen efforts is what allows Euphemia to sneak out to meet up with the rest of the Black Knights.]]
160	* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Lelouch. Jeremiah is also the person he goes to for relationship advice. PlayedWith in that their ages aren't that far apart -- Lelouch is 17 and Jeremiah is 28 -- but Jeremiah is YoungerThanHeLooks and acts.
161	* ParentalSubstitute: {{Downplayed\|Trope}}; Lelouch goes to him for relationship advice. [[DramaticIrony Curiously enough]], Lelouch is unwittingly mirroring the kind of relationship his half-sister Cornelia has with her older subordinate [[OldSoldier Andreas Darlton]] according to ''Code Geass'' official novelization.
162	* UndyingLoyalty: To Marianne vi Britannia and her children.
163	[[/folder]]
164
165	[[folder:Shi and Tsu (Death)]]
166	!!Shi and Tsu
167	->'''Arcana:''' XIII. Death
168	Residents of the Velvet Room and sisters with an UncannyFamilyResemblance working as Igor's assistants. They're both this story's equivalent of Caroline and Justine and are C.C.'s [[AmnesiacsAreInnocent innocent, amnesiac self]] as "Shi" the younger sister and her regular SeenItAll snarky self as the older "Tsu" [[LiteralSplitPersonality existing simultaneously as their own separated persons]] for unknown reasons.
169	----
170	* AdaptationalIntelligence: Relative to Caroline and Justine. Like Lelouch, they are far quicker in figuring out [[spoiler:Igor is playing them and someone screwed with their memories.]]
171	* BedmateReveal: Tsu appears one morning in Lelouch's bed and nonchalantly tells him she will be spending time at his place. When he asks her how could she even stay in the real world given her duties as a warden, she points to the other corner of his bedroom where a door to the Velvet Room stands, making him realize [[LoopholeAbuse sleeping in his bed nominally counts as manning the door for him]].
172	* BenevolentConspiracy: [[spoiler:They're conspiring with Lelouch against Igor, whom they think is EvilAllAlong.]]
173	* DeadpanSnarker: There's an amusing moment in Chapter 48 where Lelouch tells the twins about a very important late-game reveal he recently deduced. Instead of showing suitable surprise, Tsu basically tells him that much is obvious and just hurries the conversation along.
174	* ExactWords: Tsu {{invoke\|dTrope}}s this trope about her relationship with Lelouch in order to get a rise out of [[ClingyJealousGirl Kallen]]. His reaction consists of [[DefiedTrope actively sabotaging]] her attempt to give the FieryRedhead the wrong idea about their relationship.
175	* FrightInducedBunkmate: [[spoiler:The real reason why Tsu basically treats Lelouch's bed as her own, as he discovers from her [[TalkingInYourSleep sleep-taking]]. This being C.C., she doesn't admit a thing and instead dares him to sleep next to her after getting into his bed without permission. He cautiously wraps an arm around her to calm her down, and [[SleepCute eventually fall asleep like that]].]]
176	* FromTheMouthsOfBabes:
177	** Shi mentions to Lelouch and Nunnally that her big sister praised how comfortable his bed was. Nunnally pointedly asks Lelouch how Tsu would know that.
178	** The way how Shi says she gave Lelouch and Nunnally some privacy unwittingly makes it sound like she instead just {{Invoked\|Trope}} the LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone trope.
179	* HypocriticalHumor: From Chapter 58:
180	-->'''Tsu:''' Having bad dreams, Trickster?\
181	'''Lelouch:''' [[FrightInducedBunkmate You]] should talk.
182	* IncrediblyObviousTail: PlayedWith. Shi and Tsu make no effort to hide the fact they're following the student council in their summer trip, but rather than jumping to that conclusion, the latter group just assumes that the former is simply taking the same route for their own trip, and Shirley just goes and strikes a friendly conversation with them and they simply play along. Lelouch does warn them to be careful to not be seen disembarking at Shikine and Kamine Islands because they're restricted areas, to which Tsu just shrugs and assures him they won't be caught by {{Muggle\|s}} military.
183	* {{Irony}}: There's something very ironic about the implication that [[spoiler:Shi is keeping secrets from Tsu]] when you consider how much C.C. LovesSecrecy in canon.
184	* LiteralSplitPersonality: C.C. appears as two {{Literal Split Personalit\|y}}ies of her canonical self serving as wardens of the prison-themed Velvet Room: Shi, her naive "slave girl" self from before she got the Code, and Tsu who's more like her regular SugarAndIcePersonality.
185	* MistakenForProstitute: More like mistaken for professional {{Dominatrix}}, but for a while there was the SustainedMisunderstanding about [[BunnyEarsLawyer Sayoko]] believing that Tsu was Lelouch's HighClassCallGirl... and being oddly alright with it.
186	* NeverLearnedToRead: Shi is C.C.'s LiteralSplitPersonality from the time she was a slave in late medieval times, so it comes as no surprise for her to be illiterate. That's why Shi enjoys it so much when Lelouch reads a story for her and Nunnally.
187	* SayingTooMuch: One time Tsu says to Lelouch that "I'm really starting to think that you have a death wish of your own." PlayedWith in that he doesn't seem to have noticed the odd choice of words in there, but he's too fond of UnspokenPlanGuarantee to know for sure.
188	* SharedFamilyQuirks: Both sisters like to bunk with others. Tsu with Lelouch (as seen in FrightInducedBunkmate above), and Shi with [[spoiler:Nunnally/Nemo.]]
189	* TalkingInYourSleep: [[spoiler:Lelouch once overhears C.C. sleep-talking as in canon.]]
190	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Much like C.C. in canon, both sisters ''love'' pizza. They use the money Lelouch spends to recall his Personas from the Compendium to buy it.
191	* YouAreNotAlone: Lelouch tells Tsu this in Chapter 48 in response to her issues with [[WeAreAsMayflies humans' comparatively brief lifespans]]. She refutes him with her characteristic snark by telling him he's getting a pretty big head to say something like that, but Lelouch explains he's not talking about himself, but rather Shi. Specifically about how neither sister will be alone as long as they have each other. [[spoiler:This is then jarringly {{Subverted\|Trope}} when instead of a heartwarming moment, Lelouch's words trigger a searing headache in Tsu like whenever she tries to remember a lost memory. Then comes the double whammy because Shi does ''not'' get a headache and instead hugs Tsu and tries to soothe her, encouraging her by telling her "you'll remember one day". The keyword here is "you", implying that the apparently innocent Shi knows something that Tsu doesn't and for some reason is waiting for her to figure it out on her own instead of just telling her.]]

199	* HopelessSuitor: Twice over. After learning that Milly is engaged, he tries to chat up Leila Breisgau to no success, only to realize after the fact that the Countess is even ''more'' out of his league than Milly ever was.
200	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: As of Chapter 60, he is one of the only student council members not to be either Black Knights or collaborating with the same. He shares this status with [[spoiler:Rolo Haliburton.]]
201	* {{Nosebleed}}: When seeing Milly with only a ModestyTowel on in the HotSpringsEpisode.
202	* RomanticWingman: Well, at least he tries. Rivalz clues Lelouch in on an attractive green-haired girl checking him out during the summer trip, but failed to notice that a) Said girl was more like glowering at him instead, b) Lelouch indeed has noticed her already and was doing his best to ignore Tsu, and c) [[ClingyJealousGirl Lelouch's girlfriend]] noticed the whole thing and even has to tell Rivalz ImStandingRightHere.

205	[[folder:Diethard Ried (Devil)]]
206	!!Diethard Ried
207	->'''Arcana:''' XV. The Devil
208	A Britannian TV producer.
209	----
210	* CompositeCharacter: Diethard's role in this story takes elements of both Ichiko Ohya (as your main contact in the media and Devil Confidant) and Yuuki Mishima (as the manager of the website detailing your activities and de facto PR manager).
211	* {{Expy}}: To [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Kotomine Kirei]] (who, like Diethard, has also been voiced by Creator/JojiNakata and Creator/JamiesonPrice)--both are morally ambiguous characters who have an unhealthy obsession with achieving their goals. His conversation with Lelouch [[spoiler:just before the prince maxes out the Devil Arcana]] even reveals that Diethard's parents wanted him to become a priest. Said conversation also takes place inside a Church, which is another allusion to Kirei. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking More minorly, Diethard also uses Kirei's Catchphrase, "Rejoice!", a few times in the story]].
212	* GlorySeeker: He suspects early on that the Black Knights (especially if they can actually change hearts) could be history in the making, and wants to get in on the ground floor of the story as it develops, primarily so as to churn in "the highest ratings [he's] ever had".
213	* MilhollandRelationshipMoment: Chapter 44 has probably the most AntiHero example ever. Diethard ends up figuring out Lelouch is either a member of the Black Knights or is directly collaborating with them. Without missing a beat, Lelouch simply says "if I'm in league with the Black Knights, then you are as well", [[ShameIfSomethingHappened subtly yet clearly]] letting Diethard know [[TakingYouWithMe he's not going down alone if he turns him in]] without really admitting to anything. Diethard finds his answer ActuallyPrettyFunny, and in a way that comes across as fondly, he nonchalantly comments they do [[MutuallyAssuredDestruction have enough blackmail material to ruin the other]] before going back to talk shop as always.
214	* MutuallyAssuredDestruction: He and Lelouch have enough dirt on each other due to their involvement with the Black Knights to get the other in serious hot water with the law. This isn't really an issue for them because Lelouch finds Diethard useful for the team in his own particular way, and Diethard is just having too much fun with the ever-growing societal upheaval the Black Knight leave in their wake.

217	[[folder:Taizo Kirihara (Tower)]]
218	!!Taizo Kirihara
219	->'''Arcana:''' XVI. The Tower
220	The Leader of Kyoto House.
221	----
222	* FakeDefector: As in canon, Kirihara pretends to be part of LesCollaborateurs in order to secretly funnel supplies and intel to LaResistance, but almost nobody knows this, so he gets treated as the oligarch version of TheQuisling under the epithet "Kirihara the traitor" by almost the entirety of the Japanese population. [[spoiler:This is why Lelouch goes to him to request patronage for the Black Knights, not only obtaining it but also turning Kirihara himself into his Confidant of the Tower Arcana.]]
223	* FriendInTheBlackMarket: He helps Lelouch to get better weapons to use in the Metaverse, and one time he let Lelouch borrow a squad of Burais for his proclamation video in Chapter 49 [[spoiler:as part of a trick to change the public's Cognition of them in order to solve their transportation problems by making Cognitive copies of the [=KMFs=] appear in the Metaverse.]]
224	* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Lelouch who's a quarter of his age. They have a healthy respect for the other's intelligence and they occasionally meet to chat and strategize about war and politics both old and new, the Black Knights' future moves, and their common interest in figuring out who killed Genbu Kururugi.
225	* InternalReveal: Lelouch tells him and Kaguya that he's Zero, leader of the Black Knights, in Chapter 44 when they fist meet in the present day.

228	[[folder:Nunnally Lamperouge (Star)]]
229	!!Nunnally Lamperouge/Nunnally vi Britannia
230	->'''Arcana:''' XVII. The Star
231	Lelouch's sister.
232	----
233	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She holds even more resentment than ''Lelouch'' does as a result of her disabilities, but she's also a lot better at suppressing it. [[spoiler:This created a Shadow Self so powerful that she can't completely sublimate it into a Persona that has to be negotiated with rather than summoned when needed. In other words, whereas a normal Persona User sort of domesticates their own Shadow for power, Nunnally gets only as far as having hers ''tamed''. While this comes in handy during a battle, there's a much more present danger that her Shadow Self will take her over for good if Nunnally is not careful.]]
234	* BigBrotherWorship: Just like in canon, plus the occasional hints she's a ''lot'' better behaved when he's around compared to how she's like when he's not.
235	* BloodOath: [[spoiler:After they both failed to live up to their PinkySwear to not lie to each other, Lelouch and Nunnally make a BloodOath. This marks the point he maxes up his Confidant rank with her.]]
236	* BrotherSisterIncest: {{Discussed\|Trope}}. From what Cognitive Lelouch says in her Palace, Coach Villetta seems to think that there's more than a sibling relationship between them.
237	* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Probably due to growing in an actual RoyalHarem (which seemingly normalized the concept polygamy in her mind) and the [[BigBrotherWorship incredibly high opinion she has of her brother]], Nunnally sees nothing wrong with the idea of Lelouch being in a long term relationship with multiple women at the same time. Interestingly, she does have a problem with cheating, but a relationship where all parties consent between Lelouch and multiple girls she approves of like Kallen and Shirley is totally A-OK in Nunnally's book.
238	* FanGirl: {{Downplayed\|Trope}}. She's a fan of Elizabeth III from ''Code Geass''[='=] AlternateHistory and gets a tad defensive when people talk about the least savory historical theories about the Last Queen of the British Islands -- especially the one about how she secretly arranged for UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte to be killed by poison in retaliation for invading England.
239	* {{Hypocrite}}: [[WhamEpisode Chapter 41]] reveals [[spoiler:Nunnally is secretly a member of the Irregulars. When she calls Lelouch out on breaking their PinkySwear not to lie to each other in regards to his involvement with the Black Knights, Lelouch immediately responds by calling her out on her own massive lie by omission.]]
240	* IncestSubtext: The Max Confidant Rank scene with Nunnally has more than a few undertones of a romantic [[spoiler:reconciliation]]. {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d to his annoyance by this fic's equivalent of C.C. who goes as far as to slyly ask him if there was any [[spoiler:makeup]] sex involved.
241	* ItsAllAboutMe: Nunnally makes some rather selfish remarks about how she [[spoiler:couldn't leave the Irregulars to die, how she [[DisabilityNegatingSuperpower could finally walk and see in the Metaverse]] and Lelouch shouldn't be doing this because she didn't ask him to]]. It appears she somehow missed most of his CharacterDevelopment in the last forty chapters and thinks she's dealing with his canonical self.
242	* MoralityPet: The reason she's the Star Arcana Confidant -- you could say she is Lelouch's moral compass.
243	* PinkySwear: Lelouch and Nunnally swear not to lie to each other like this as in the series. [[spoiler:Given that both break their promise almost in the same manner, they prick each other's pinkies with needles in lieu of the thousand ones they were supposed to swallow according to the Japanese version of the oath, and replace their failed PinkySwear with a BloodOath.]]
244	* ThrowingOffTheDisability:
245	** [[spoiler:Nunnally caps off her completed Confidant line by throwing off her psychosomatic blindness and opening her eyes for the first time in years. After Lelouch acknowledges some uncomfortable truths about their relationship based on how Nunnally is self-reliant in the world of Cognition and thus outside his protection, to say nothing of a much more self-assured person, he arrives at the conclusion that the main factor preserving her psychosomatic blindness is her subconscious need to remain dependent on him as a way to feed his BigBrotherInstinct and prevent him from abandoning her like the rest of their family did. Lelouch takes action about this by attempting to redefine his relationship with Nunnally into one where he's more of a guide than an overprotective older brother while reassuring he will always be there for her regardless. What he never expected was for their first heart-to-heart [[EpiphanyTherapy to be enough for her to make the breakthrough]].]]
246	** Also {{Deconstructed\|Trope}} for a bit. [[spoiler:In real life, people who [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_from_blindness suddenly recover from long-term blindness]] usually suffer from "significant to total visual agnosia" -- that is, the inability to process visual information because their brains got used to not have it and thus learned to compensate for its absence. The fact nothing like that seems to have happened in Nunnally's case is [[ShownTheirWork commented upon]] InUniverse by Lelouch, who seems to think he's missing an important piece of the puzzle but he's not ungrateful enough to look a gift horse in the mouth and simply chalks it up to cognition.]]

253	----
254	* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: He appears a lot earlier than in canon, now as a NewTransferStudent.
255	* KidDetective: He serves as Akechi Goro's counterpart.
256	* LikesClarkKentHatesSuperman: Lelouch is the closest thing he has to a friend, but also wants to help arrest the Black Knights.
257	* NewTransferStudent: He arrives as one in Chapter 27.
258	* SayingTooMuch: Big spoiler. [[spoiler:In the BeachEpisode, Rolo asks Rivalz what he meant before when he said Suzaku is clueless. If you reread the previous scene in question, you will notice it was ''Arthur'' who said the word but Rivalz's voice overlapped his. This means Rolo has been in the Metaverse before and most likely is one of the Black Masks. Lelouch seems to have noticed, but he's interrupted before he can ask Arthur about it.]]
259	* ThisIsUnforgivable: His reaction to the mistaken idea that [[spoiler:the Black Knights killed Shirley's father.]]

264	!!Kaguya Sumeragi
265	->'''Arcana:''' XIX: The Sun
266	The young heiress of Kyoto House.
267	----
268	* CelebCrush: Semantically speaking. [[spoiler:Kaguya is a FanGirl of the Black Knights and has a crush on Lelouch. When she learns he's the leader of the Black Knights, that crush counts as a CelebCrush too by definition.]]
269	* ClingyJealousGirl: An {{Inver\|tedTrope}}sion. Kaguya's not only fine with the idea of Lelouch hypothetically cheating on her if they ever get together, but she also wants to be fast friends with his other women. Believe it or not, ''she means it''.
270	* CrashIntoHello: How she meets Lelouch in the FestivalEpisode [[spoiler:seven years after their almost ForgottenFirstMeeting.]]
271	* DirtyKid: Kaguya once told Suzaku that she wanted her honeymoon to last for a month and even said that "as long as [[ArrangedMarriage my husband isn't you]], I'm sure [[InsatiableNewlyweds I wouldn't want him to leave our bedroom for at least half as long]]". For the record, Kaguya was ''seven'' at the time and Suzaku himself [[DelayedReaction didn't get the joke]] until he was twice that age.
272	* FanGirl: She's one for the Black Knights for taking down Clovis and the [[TheDon Black King]]. [[spoiler:Lelouch didn't know this, so revealing himself as the leader of the Black Knights to her and Kirihara instantly turned her into ''his'' fangirl and made him go OhNoNotAgain when she gave him a WackyMarriageProposal in lieu of a LoveConfession.]]
273	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: According to one of the ''Anime/CodeGeass''[='s=] [[AudioPlay Sound Episodes]], she and Lelouch met as kids, but she didn't recognize him as a prince then and didn't make the connection for most of the series because she didn't see how Zero was like under the mask until very late in the storyline. [[spoiler:{{Subverted\|Trope}} here, however, because Kaguya runs into Lelouch during the Tanabata festival and recognizes him as the "oni" of her childhood memories on sight.]]
274	* GenkiGirl: Very much so, although there are strong hints she wasn't nearly as lively until reuniting with her "Oni".
275	* HaremSeeker: By proxy. As in canon, [[BunnyEarsLawyer Kaguya]] is not only singularly approving of the idea of the man she wants to marry having other women, she also wants to be friends with all of them.
276	* InsatiableNewlyweds: Her honeymoon's plans when she was seven were ''built'' in expectation of this trope. Yes, ''[[DirtyKid seven]]''.
277	* InSpiteOfANail:
278	** Kaguya thinks fondly of "Zero" despite being almost nothing like the canonical one. This is because she recognized him from their ForgottenFirstMeeting, unlike in the series where she doesn't learn who's behind the mask until very late in the plotline.
279	** Also, Kaguya is something of a FanGirl for the Black Knights despite the fact they're a completely different organization from canon because they changed the hearts of [[AntagonisticGovernor Clovis]] and the [[TheDon Black King]].
280	* InternalReveal: Lelouch tells her and Kirihara that he's Zero, leader of the Black Knights, in Chapter 44.
281	* JustAKid: She complaints that she tends to get this treatment from Kirihara and the other leaders of the Six Houses. Lelouch deadpans back that, going by her age alone, she objectively ''is'' a child despite her ImprobableAge competence. As her Confidant, he also advises her to not change herself "for them", but rather for her own sake and that growth will incidentally shut them up.
282	* LoveAtFirstSight: She insists that, technically, she fell in love a second sight. [[spoiler:Curiously, this would mean she fell for Lelouch before she knew he's part of the Black Knights, and thus implying that learning he's a hero in her eyes just sealed the deal.]]
283	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She tends to get "uncomfortably close" to Lelouch. Thankfully for him, [[OneHeadTaller he's quite a bit taller than her]].
284	* RebelliousPrincess: While not a princess per se, Kaguya is a LonelyRichKid who gets up to stuff like ditching her bodyguard in order to enjoy [[FestivalEpisode Tanabata]], or [[spoiler:sitting right beside the guy they were supposed to give a BlindfoldedTrip to.]]
285	* ReformedBully: Kaguya used to be a total spoiled brat and a bully to her cousin Suzaku -- kinda understandable because everybody treated the 7-year-old like a princess and she resented her ArrangedMarriage to him -- until the day she ran into Lelouch and confused him with an Oni ([[ItMakesSenseInContext long story]]) who refused to take any crap from her and ungently but not unkindly played that role to give her a HeelRealization via Socratic method. In the present, she remembers TheReasonYouSuckSpeech with genuine fondness because it helped her grow pass the person she used to be [[spoiler:and that's the reason she instantly recognizes Lelouch when she runs into him ([[CrashIntoHello literally]]) during the Tanabata festival in Ueno Park.]]
286	* WackyMarriageProposal: Kaguya proposes to Lelouch the moment she hears he's the leader of the Black Knights. He immediately tells her he already has a girlfriend, but her counterproposal of a MarryThemAll scenario comes out of her mouth just as fast.
287	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Lelouch tells her she has come a long way from her SpoiledBrat self when she starts to doubt her own growth as a person.

292	->'''Arcana:''' XX: Judgement
293	The Second Princess of Britannia, Euphemia's older sister, and Lelouch and Nunnally's half-sister.
294	----
295	* CompositeCharacter: She takes Sae's place as both the interrogator of the leader of a vigilante group (Ren/Akira of the Phantom Thieves, Lelouch of the Black Knights) as well as the Judgement Confidant. [[spoiler:Cornelia, like Sae, is also their Sixth Target before the leader is captured.]]
296	* HairTriggerTemper: She gets pissed just as often, if not more so, than Kallen, as evident when she sometimes yells at Lelouch during the interrogation chapters. [[spoiler:It's a hint to her Deadly Sin.]]
297	* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Cornelia to Euphemia as in canon, especially after [[spoiler:the kidnapping attempt against the latter]] in Chapter 57.
298	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: {{Discussed\|Trope}}. Cornelia doesn't want to believe that something like [[spoiler:a Persona User turned ProfessionalKiller]] was officially sanctioned by the Britannian government, especially because it would imply such an operation took place in her viceroyalty and yet she was never told a word about it.
299	* OutsideContextProblem: The Black Knights for Cornelia. She's a WarriorPrincess, LadyOfWar and probably the [[FourStarBadass most accomplished general]] Britannia has, but she can't win any battles against this version of the Black Knights because they simply won't give her any to fight. {{Subverted\|Trope}} in the InterrogationFlashback where she seems to have captured Lelouch.
300	* RightForTheWrongReasons: A two-wrongs-makes-a-right kinda example. Cornelia incorrectly suspects that [[spoiler:Leila Breisgau]] was involved in Clovis' murder and that the Black Knights could be behind the crime, but she's not wrong at all about suspecting said character's involvement with the Black Knights.

306	The 88th Princess of Britannia. Leader of both a covert anti-terrorism group and the heart-changing vigilante group known as the Glinda Knights.
307	----
308	* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
309	** Not for Oldrin and Marrybell herself, but for their Personas -- [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz Dorothy]] and [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} Elphaba]] from ''Franchise/LandOfOz'' stories, respectively. Lelouch himself finds the idea of Dorothy Gale and the Wicked Witch of the West working together to be WrongOnSoManyLevels.
310	** Marrybell and Oldrin still count as a {{Downplayed\|Trope}} example, whose SecretRelationship was more like heavily teased in the manga, but it is outright stated here because Marrybell sees no point in trying to hide it from Lelouch.
311	* AffectionateNickname: Her Knight and ({{Victorious\|ChildhoodFriend}}) {{Childhood Friend\|s}} calls her "Mary".
312	* AintTooProudToBeg: The Emperor made her prostrate and apologize to him in order to reinstate her as a princess, which she did for the opportunity to hunt down whoever killed her mother and sister.
313	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Lelouch. She spends a good chunk of their first official meeting messing with him about his unusual love life. [[spoiler:She does easy up the teasing when she realizes that Lelouch is in a {{polyamor\|y}}ous relationship rather than playing TheCasanova.]]
314	* BatmanGambit: Charles basically made her his agent tasked with identifying his enemies within Britannia by giving her enough authority to track down her mother and sister's killer. The clever thing about it is not just that he can easily [[PlausibleDeniability disavow her were the need arise]], but also how Marrybell is making herself useful to him despite being very much aware of the manipulation because she just can't ''not'' take the opportunity to avenge her loved ones.
315	* BeneathSuspicion: Those who are privy to her real personality know she's someone to watch for, but for everybody else, she's just another example of PrincessClassic among Charles' many daughters. This is part of the reason why he has her investigating domestic terrorism.
316	* BirdsOfAFeather:
317	** Marrybell feels an instant affinity with Lelouch at the MasqueradeBall despite not recognizing the person under his mask, and the feeling is very much mutual. She later describes it as "instinctively [recognizing] Lelouch, not as kin, but as a kindred spirit, with the same frustration, rage, and pain beneath his mask as there was under her own."
318	** Also {{Discussed\|Trope}}. After learning that Lelouch survived his exile, Marrybell realized that there was likely no "another person in Britannia whose circumstances were so uniquely similar to her own", making her very much look forward to the possibility of actual cooperation between their groups.
319	* BodyguardBabes: She's usually guarded by her very good looking Knight of Honor Oldrin.
320	* BodyguardCrush: She's in a SecretRelationship with her female Knight of Honor Oldrin Zevon.
321	* CoolAirship: She commands the ''[[https://i.imgur.com/KUCPfrS.jpg Granberry]]'' like in ''Manga/CodeGeassOzTheReflection'', and intends on flying her [[spoiler:from Area 11 to the Chinese Federation to raid a secret Cognitive Psience research facility in the Taklamakan Desert by taking advantage of the confusion caused by the nationwide uprising sparked by Gao Hai's Change of Heart and confession]]. Marrybell describes her as the production model to the SuperPrototype that it is Schneizel's ''Avalon''.
322	* DeathSeeker: After the murder of her mother and sister was covered up as a "terrorist attack", she lost all will to live, and [[SuicideByCop even attacked the Emperor himself with a sword fully expecting that his Royal Guard to kill her for it on the spot]].
323	* DistractedByTheSexy: {{Subverted\|Trope}}. Marrybell is quite interested in the sight of Bishop in her formfitting biker outfit -- enough so to bother both her and Lelouch -- but she is still perfectly able to lead the conversation just fine.
324	* EntertaininglyWrong:
325	** She assumess that Lelouch's end goal is to take their father's throne, and is quite surprised when he tells her the Black Knight's stated mission to change society isn't just propaganda, making it so his intentions to remove Charles from power is a means to that end rather than the objective.
326	** Under the above misconception, Marrybell thinks Lelouch is gathering girlfriends with the intention of making them his future {{Hot Consort}}s in his RoyalHarem, an assumption that makes him very upset for a moment until he and Bishop set the record straight.
327	* {{Foil}}:
328	** To Lelouch. They are both royals gifted with a genius-level intellect, enough charisma and strategic wit to lead a legion, and a ''massive'' thirst for vengeance for what was done to their mothers and sole full sister. They are three key differences, though:
329	*** First, Nunnally survived the alleged terrorist attack that killed Marianne, thus becoming the focus of Lelouch's concern and forcing him to put his vengeance on hold until the right conditions for it presented themselves. In Marrybell's case, her sister Julia died in the same attack that killed their mother Flora mel Britannia, turning Marrybell into a DeathSeeker once it became clear to the 10-year-old that she had no way to find the culprits.
330	*** Secondly, there's how their father reacted to them demanding a explanation from him for the culprits remaining at large despite taking the life of an Imperial Consort. Whereas Lelouch was exiled for daring to question the Emperor, Marrybell was just temporarily stripped from her royal title and sent to live in comfort with the Zevon family.
331	*** Thirdly, Marrybell [[ItsAllMyFault blames herself]] of the death of her mother and sister because she was the one that left the alleged terrorist enter their residence, giving her a strong self-loathing from the start that canon Lelouch wouldn't acquire until much later in the plotline.
332	*** Finally, and most notable of all, while both lead teams of persona users who they have bonded with, Lelouch's team is composed priarily of his friends from school, and thus while they are less expereinced in fighting, they also have extremely clsoe personal relationships with him and act as his collective MoralityChain, leaving him in a much healthier place mentally than he was in canon. Marrybel, meanwhile, formed her team from her subordinates in the Glinda Knights, and thus has them far more experienced in combat, but at the cost of treating them more as comrades in arms than friends, and as such is not as close to them as Lelouch is, with the excpetion of Oldrin. This also means that she only has Oldrin as a MoralityChain, and thus tends to be more vicious and coldblooded than Lelouch for precisely this reason. This actually makes Marrybel ''weaker'' than Lelouch in the Metaverse, because her lack of closeness with her compatriots means no step of bonds, and thus weaker personas.
333	** To Nunnally too. She embodies the darkest aspects of Nunnally's personality, but their strong attachment to their full-blooded sibling are completely different in nature because Marrybell's sister didn't survive the incident that took her mother's life.
334	* HandsomeLech: A RareFemaleExample. She can't keep herself from admiring a beautiful women and likes to dress them in cute outfits, but going by her significant other's lack of reaction at her checking Bishop out when she was in a biker outfit, this seems to be a harmless if recurrent thing for her.
335	* HiddenDepths: Pretends to be a nice, innocent princess. In truth, she's more like a vengeful witch.
336	* HideYourLesbians: {{Subverted\|Trope}}. Unlike in ''Manga/CodeGeassOzTheReflection'', the story doesn't bother to hide her relationship with Oldrin with (albeit quite transparent) subtext.
337	* HiredToHuntYourself: She leads an anti-terrorism group, currently tasked with the capture the Black Knights. Not only she's struck a cooperation deal with her nominal targets instead, but also secretly leads her own heart-changing vigilante group: The Glinda Knights.
338	* ItsAllMyFault: She blames herself for the deaths of her mother and sister in a bombing due to letting the bomber enter her house unimpeded.
339	* LadyAndKnight: She has an unusual "Dark Lady and White Knight" interpersonal dynamics with Oldrin, where the latter's [[MoralityChain moral code keeps Marrybell from acting]] as ruthlessly pragmatic as she can be.
340	* LadyOfWar: She graduated from Officers' School alongside her Knight of Honor.
341	* LaughingMad: She can make a spot-on impression of the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Wicked Witch of the West]].
342	* LipstickLesbian: PlayedWith. She's very feminine and poised as expected of a princess when she wants to be, but she's frighteningly intelligent and has little compunctions about the means to her goals. Think early-series Lelouch as a royal princess, but with her Knight Oldrin as her MoralityChain.
343	* MoralityChain: Her girlfriend Oldrin, a knight who actually believes in the code of chivalry, is this to her.
344	* MsExposition: She informs Lelouch of the true extent of Emperor Charles' plans [[spoiler:to trigger TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]], which takes about a third of a chapter.
345	* MyGreatestFailure: She hates herself for unwittingly helping a bomber enter her home, leading to her mother and sister's deaths in an explosion that almost killed her as well, despite being barely 10 at the time.
346	* NoSuchAgency: A downscaled example. Marrybell's anti-terrorism task force doesn't even have an official designation, but the Emperor has empowered her just enough to conduct their investigations but not enough to lose PlausibleDeniability were the need arise. They did somehow manage to get a CoolShip out of the deal though.
347	* PrincessesPreferPink: {{Invoked\|Trope}}. She dresses a lot like Euphemia does in order to deliberately cultivate this kind of public image.
348	* RebelliousPrincess: A perfectly mannered if sharp-witted princess in public, but in private she leads an informal anti-terror unit by the Emperor's orders, and she's secretly the leader of her own heart-changing group called the Glinda Knights.
349	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: To most people, Marrybell is just another imperial princess, and one too low in the line of succession to be any of concern at that. In reality, she has been tasked by the Emperor to track down domestic terrorism as a way to make use of her deeply-rooted hatred for the kind of people that got her mother and sister killed.
350	* SecretRelationship: With her [[BodyguardCrush Knight of Honor]], [[LadyOfWar Oldrin]]. Although she doesn't bother to hide it from the Black Knights given they've shared significantly more important secrets already.
351	* SharedFamilyQuirks:
352	** She and Lelouch seem to [[HasAType have similar tastes in women]], based on how she evidently found both Kallen and Bishop very attractive upon meeting them. Furthermore, her own girlfriend Oldrin has a significant number of traits in common with Kallen, both physical and personality-wise.
353	** Her impression of the [[SignatureLaugh iconic crackle]] of the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Wicked Witch of the West]] can give canon Lelouch's EvilLaugh a run for his money.
354	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Has a strong physical resemblance to Euphemia, but her personality is lot more like Lelouch's.
355	* SuicideByCop: Unsuccessfully attempted. A nine- or ten-year-old Marrybell tried to get herself killed by drawing a sword against Charles, fully knowing that attempting to attack the Emperor is a capital crime in Britannia and grounds for immediate execution by his Royal Guard.
356	* YouKilledMyFather: {{Exploited\|Trope}}. Charles is well aware that the one thing that makes Marrybell tick is her desire to avenge her mother and sister's deaths to a bomber. That's why he empowered her to investigate terrorist activity within Britannia fully knowing that she would perform at her utmost in hopes of finding the culprit, all while having her get rid of several of his enemies in the process without having to mobilize his Knights of the Round to do it.

360	%% Please keep character tropes related to Shadow Nunnally here rather than on her folder above, or in the Irregular Character Page in her capacity as leader of the Irregulars.
361	!!Shadow Nunnally/Nemo
362	->'''Arcana:''' Lust
363	The Shadow of Lelouch's younger sister, who exists as her own distinct personality.
364	----
365	* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Just like all Shadows, she knows everything that has gone on in Nunnally's life better than Nunnally can consciously recall. Something which Lelouch takes great interest in the hopes of it leading towards answers about their mother's murder.
366	* BigBrotherWorship: She looks up to Lelouch just as much as Nunnally does, but not for exactly the same reasons nor they express it in the same way. Shadow Nunnally seems to admire the cunning and vengeful aspects of his personality more than his kinder facets, and takes delight in showing him the darker sides of her own. Even her IncestSubtext with him is different from that of her conscious self -- whereas Nunnally's relationship with her brother can get awfully romantic at times, her Shadow Self's whole body language seems to indicate primal attraction to him.
367	* BrotherSisterIncest: Is practically ''the embodiment'' of this between Lelouch and Nunnally.
368	* BrutalHonesty: She takes the promise between Nunnally and Lelouch to never lie to each other very seriously. Even being willing to go into [[TooMuchInformation details about herself that Lelouch most certainly doesn't want to know]].
369	* CharacterTics:
370	** She seems unable to stay still when in her cell in the Velvet Room. Lelouch compares her to "an untamed tiger constantly searching for weaknesses in her enclosure"
371	** Also, once her eyes set on Lelouch, they rarely leave him.
372	* DealWithTheDevil: She's the "Devil" part of the equation for Nunnally.
373	* IncestSubtext: Her first direct interactions with Lelouch in Chapter 65, where she starts questioning Lelouch about his sex life with some jealousy towards his girlfriends, and admits any romantic partner she'd have would be measured against him.
374	* LikeParentLikeChild: This is something she's very much aware, as she tells Lelouch that he got the same darkness from their father while inheriting their mother's looks, while she inherited the same darkness as their mother and heavily resembles their father in his youth.
375	* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Nunnally can see and interact with her Shadow Self in the real world as a hallucination of sorts. Later on, the growing instability of the Metaverse allows Lelouch directly interact with Shadow Nunnally when they end up in the empty Velvet Room in their dreams.
376	* PhotographicMemory: As the core of Nunnally's subconscious, all suppressed and discarded memories, not matter how old or unimportant and even including dreams, are accessible to her. Lelouch is particularly interested in this because there's a chance that she remembers something from his and Nunnally's past in Pendragon that could allow him to pick of the trail of their mother's murderer.
377	* ShipperOnDeck: [[IncestSubtext Despite her own jealousy]], Nemo is rather approving of Kallen, Shirley, and Leila being with Lelouch, and encourages him to take more of an initiative in his relationship with Shirley, as she's the most passive of the three.
378	* SpeakIllOfTheDead: Being the part of Nunnally that is aware of Marianne's crueler and more violent traits, Nemo freely discusses them with Lelouch. This makes Lelouch highly uncomfortable, as the mere possibility that their mother wasn't the saint he wants to believe her to be makes him feel like he's desecrating her memory, although he hesitantly shows a willingness to accept it.
379	* SuperpoweredAlterId: For Nunnally. While prone to violence, she's short of a SuperPoweredEvilSide because her hostility is reserved to people who has wronged her and her brother (or intends to), enemy Shadows, and to Nunnally herself for refusing to completely accept the darkest aspects of her personality.
380	* TooMuchInformation: [[InvokedTrope Weaponized]]. When Lelouch understandably tries to dodge her questions about his sex life, she first reminds him they made a BloodOath to be honest to each other, and then proves herself completely willing to share just as much about herself as she intends to pry into his. While Lelouch definitely does ''not'' want to learn that much about his sister, he's forced to concede to fairness and answers her questions while pointing out that one day he ''will'' hold her to her word.
381	* WalkingSpoiler: The mere fact that Nemo is considered separate enough from Nunnally to be a Confidant is a fairly large spoiler for Chapter 65, though the name of the character and their Arcana do spoil a few things.
