20	->''"My mission is to erase all evil in the name of justice!"''
21
22	Oichi's husband and a fierce defender of justice, Azai Nagamasa wields his sword and shield with a passion. He loves Oichi but [[CanNotSpitItOut is too shy to say it outright.]] He was an NPC in the second ''Sengoku Basara'', and in the ExpansionPack he became a selectable character. He returns in the fourth game as a playable character.
23
24	-----
25	* AscendedExtra: He was introduced as an NPC but gained enough popularity to become playable in ''Heroes''.
26	* BattleAura: In the fourth game, he can charge his sword, shield and himself up with a glowing aura that gives his attacks a drastic power boost.
27	* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Sees himself as a defender of justice and his enemies as evil entities that must be exterminated.
28	* BrotherSisterTeam: With his sister Maria.
29	* CannotSpitItOut: Prefers to say it with flowers, if ever at all.
30	* TheComicallySerious: He has a tendency to be a bit of a butt of jokes in the fourth game due to his straight-laced demeanor. In his pre-battle cutscene with Sakon, the latter ends up using him as a pedestal while Nagamasa is making a speech. Similarly, [[spoiler:he's the only one to reluctantly be a part of Sorin's AmusementPark while both Oichi and Maria take to it pretty quickly.]]
31	* CoolHelmet: His distinctive helmet has a horsetail crest on it.
32	* DeadPersonConversation: [[spoiler:Several times in the anime with Oichi as he encourages her to do the right thing.]]
33	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:In the anime, Oichi cradles his bullet-ridden body as he dies. Also the ''Chronicle Heroes'' opening.]]
34	* DifficultButAwesome: Learning how to instantly trigger his charge-ups after performing his moves might be tricky, but once mastered Nagamasa becomes absolutely devastating in combat..
35	* HeroicBSOD: Has one in ''Heroes'' after Oichi is revealed to be a spy and has to be snapped out of it by some peasants before he attempts to get her back.
36	* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: The historical Nagamasa was rather brutal, such as when he threatened to crucify the aged mother of his retainer, Isono Kazumasa, if Kazumasa failed to ward off the Oda forces besieging Sawayama Castle, and he actually did crucify her when Kazumasa eventually surrendered to Oda due to his army running out of provisions, despite being able to hold off for 8 months.
37	* HonorBeforeReason: In the anime he refuses to break his alliance with Oda and join the good guys. However, once he realizes Nobunaga doesn't have a shred of honour to his name, he quickly decides to switch sides.
38	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Particularly in the anime. Did he seriously believe that Nobunaga could see the error of his ways?
39	* IGaveMyWord: And he claims to have never gone back on it, not even for the Demon King.
40	* JusticeWillPrevail: His sense of justice, however, can be a little... skewed at times.
41	* KilledOffForReal: For the third game, but returns in ''Sengoku Basara 4'', with his sister in tow. [[spoiler:True for the anime.]]
42	* KnightInShiningArmour: Oichi thinks of him as this.
43	* KnightTemplar: Is portrayed as one of these in later games, where he will deem anything and everything evil and turns into somewhat of a hypocrite.
44	* LargeHam: Where justice in involved, speaking quietly just isn't good enough!
45	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zhk1egYldg Theme of Azai Nagamasa.]]
46	* LightEmUp: His attacks involve manifesting huge, piercing blades of light.
47	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Oichi becomes so dependent on him that he's virtually the only thing keeping her sane.
48	* LoveHurts: [[spoiler:It repeatedly gets him killed.]]
49	* LoverTugOfWar: In the fourth game Nagamasa finds himself being fought over this way by Oichi and ''[[BrotherSisterIncest Maria]]'' of all people. Poor man just stands there looking scared out of his wits.
50	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Has a small fold-out one worn on his arm that also has attack properties.
51	* MuggleMageRomance: With Oichi as of ''Sengoku Basara 3''. While he's a skilled warrior, he has no supernatural leanings while she suffers DemonicPossession.
52	* MyMasterRightOrWrong: He doesn't always agree with his sister, particularly with her decision to align with the Shogun. Nonetheless, since she's his elder sister and therefore head of the clan there's nothing he can do but do what she says or get booted out of the clan.
53	* NobleBigot: Nagamasa genuinely wants to do good, but it doesn't occur to him that in trying to eradicate everyone he doesn't approve of he's contradicting himself.
54	* ParasolOfPain: One of his joke weapons is a old Japanese-style umbrella.
55	* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: With Oichi [[spoiler:(though for the most part it doesn't last long.)]]
56	* RidingIntoTheSunset: Complete with Oichi in a BridalCarry as well. His ''Heroes'' ending is the only happy one he's got so far.
57	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In his campaign in ''Heroes'', Oichi gets kidnapped by Nobunaga. After recovering from HeroicBSOD, he the proceeds to go the castle and hand everyone inside their asses.
58	* RoyalRapier: Technically a longsword, but he uses it in the same way.
59	* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Has died for reasons related to Oichi in every single game he's appeared in.]]
60	* ShoutOut: His default costume looks like Series/{{Ultraman}}. His entire fighting style is essentially fashioned after {{Sentai}}.
61	* SpiritAdvisor: To Oichi [[spoiler:later on in the anime.]]
62	* StarCrossedLovers: Due to Oichi's heritage and Nagamasa's stubborn personality, their marriage was kinda doomed from the start.
63	* SuperSentaiStance: He performs this solo in his {{Victory Pose}} and while powering up.
64	* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:In Oichi's ''Heroes'' story he jumps between her and Nobunaga's shotgun, leading Oichi to believe it's her fault he died.]]
65	* {{Tsundere}}: He can berate Oichi in one scene, then gives her flowers in the next.

69	!!Oichi
70	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sb4_render_ichi_5375.png]]
71	-->Voiced by: Creator/MamikoNoto (Japanese), Creator/LauraBailey (English)
72
73	->''"Everyone's dying. This is also Oichi's fault..."''
74
75	Oichi is the introverted younger sister of Nobunaga, who got sent off to marry Azai Nagamasa. Debuts in ''[=SB2=]'' as an NPC, but gained such a massive following she is made a playable character in ''[[ExpansionPack Heroes]]''. She seems to be convinced that everything bad in the world is ''[[MyGreatestFailure her fault]]''. And with a brother like [[CardCarryingVillain Nobunaga]], it always went [[FromBadToWorse south]]. She also has dark powers which can possess her and turn her into a psychotic murderer, but she usually keeps those in check... unless she's pushed over the edge.
76
77	She appeared again in ''Sengoku Basara 3'', once again proving her PopularityPower. However, not only does she lead the remnants of Nobunaga's army (who have chosen her as his successor), she discards her naginata and utilizes only her [[NightmareHands demon hands]]. Having purposely lost her memories to avoid facing the extremely harsh reality, she [[ExtremeDoormat obeys whoever gives her orders.]]
78	-----
79	* ApologisesALot: ''Every single time'', as much as Nagamasa loves her, sometimes this upsets him so much that he tells her to cut it out.
80	* AscendedExtra: Joined her husband as one of the popular playables in the expansion.
81	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Why she decides to be Ieyasu's PsychoSupporter, besides just not wanting to be alone.
82	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Oichi is an ExtremeDoormat who doesn't want to fight at all and just wants to live a happy life with her husband. But press her too far and her DemonicPossession will answer by tearing you apart with spectral hands.
83	* BreakTheCutie: [[TraumaCongaLine Over and over and over]]...
84	* BossSubtitles: "Oichi - Living a Nightmare"
85	* BrownNote: In ''3'', one of her prisoners apparently passed out from sheer terror after looking into her eyes. Yoshitsugu even has his men blindfold Oichi, warning them not to look her in the eyes.
86	* {{Chickification}}: A minor case in the anime, where she's not even shown fighting until the movie.
87	* CosmicPlaything: The universe ''really'' seems to hate her and wants to prevent her from ever achieving any kind of happiness.
88	* CuteAndPsycho: Most of the time she's very demure and sweet, if a little depressing, but when she snaps you had better run ''fast''.
89	* DarkIsNotEvil: Blame Nobunaga for drawing out her dark powers, which she seems to dislike and fear.
90	** The powers themselves appear to be the only thing that consistently treats her nicely. In ''Samurai Heroes'', at least, the hands are very gentle in the way they (for instance) put her on her feet, carry her instead of running, or catch her and set her down after a zipline or slingshot.
91	%%* DarkMagicalGirl
92	* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Certain lines from her, Mitsunari, and Nobunaga suggest this is the case in the third game, and the opening narrator/other characters are just guessing.]]
93	* DeathSeeker: Will desperately whisper "Kill me!" when she blocks, implying she fully understands what kind of horror she's become and that she genuinely wants it to end.
94	* DemonicPossession: By the third game (and anime season 2). Whether it's Nobunaga or something else remains unknown.
95	* DiabolusExMachina: Her method of dying in her ''Heroes'' story.
96	* DistressedDamsel: TWICE. In Nagamasa's story and in the anime, both courtesy of her brother.
97	* TheDogBitesBack: In her Western Army ending of the third game, after killing Ieyasu she flips out entirely and [[spoiler:kills Yoshitsugu]] while he's busy indulging in maniacal laughter.
98	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: The dark purple-haired type.
99	* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/HellGirl Ai Enma]], whom her design is based upon, according to the producer. That's why she is voiced by the [[Creator/MamikoNoto same VA]].
100	* ExtremeDoormat: Doesn't help her situation by just doing whatever she's told without complaint. ''Sengoku Basara 3'' makes this trope more apparent with her. In one path of her story she's captured and essentially used as an attack dog by Yoshitsugu. [[TheDogBitesBack It bites him in the ass in the end.]]
101	* FashionableAsymmetry: A sleeve on her right arm and pauldron on her left. Her bangs are also uneven, perhaps representing her fragile state of mind.
102	* FakeStatic: Sort of. During her dialogue in battle you often hear this as she speaks, a reference to ghost movies.
103	* FlowerMotifs: White lilies for her love with Nagamasa, and red lycoris for her demonic side.
104	* FullContactMagic: She channels her dark arms through lethargic arm gestures.
105	* HimeCut: A variation with locks trimmed at different lengths around her face.
106	%%* HotWitch
107	%%* HumanoidAbomination
108	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: The thing that seems to trouble Oichi the most in the third game is being alone. When anybody tries to befriend her (Tsuruhime, Ieyasu) she instantly latches on to them and seems much happier. [[spoiler: She's even quite content binding Nobunaga in Hell, just because it means she doesn't have to be alone any more.]]
109	* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcWhR22m3Ho "Nemure Hi no Hana"]] by Creator/MamikoNoto.
110	* InstantDeathRadius: Several of her Super Arts involve this.
111	* IronicNurseryRhyme: Since going insane, Oichi sometimes sings little songs and rhymes to herself in DissonantSerenity. Several of her voice lines in ''Sengoku Basara 3'' are verses of one specific song.
112	-->Wander freely, wander far, off beneath the Devil's star / In the dark, the girl so bright, got up to see the day by night / Her fear in hand, her fear in heart, her fear did tear her soul apart / The white of flesh, the white of bone, the worms will leave your soul alone / Ask you now, and ask you may, the fate of all on this fair day / On and on the road does go, down into the depths below / [[{{Foreshadowing}} Off you went to call the king, you wish to hear the Devil sing]]...
113	%%* JackOfAllStats: In the second game, with slight edge towards MightyGlacier.
114	* LadyOfBlackMagic: Feminine, graceful, melancholic, and a user of dark, hellish powers.
115	* LaughingMad: When she properly loses it. [[EvilSoundsDeep Even her voice changes]].
116	* LimpAndLivid: In the third game. She moves like a puppet with a drunk puppeteer behind the strings, and half her movements involve her shadow hands picking her up and moving her around.
117	* LoveHurts: More like love chews you up, spits you out, and leads you to a tragic demise.
118	* LoveMakesYouCrazy: One of the reasons she turned to The DarkSide is because of her love for Nagamasa and the pain his death caused her.
119	* LoveTriangle: Becomes caught in the middle of one in ''4'' between Nagamasa and Katsuie (though it's completely one-sided in the latter's case).
120	* MetronomicManMashing: One of her moves has her summon an arm to grab at her enemies and slam them around.
121	* TheMole: In the anime, [[spoiler:this was the whole reason she was married to Nagamasa in the first place. However, she falls in love with him for real, and cannot carry out her duties.]]
122	* MuggleMageRomance: With Nagamasa. Like her brother Nobunaga, Oichi has some very dark powers lurking within her, while Nagamasa is a skilled warrior without being overtly supernatural.
123	* NaginatasAreFeminine: Uses this prior to using her ghostly hands.
124	* TheNicknamer: "Lord Happy" and "Lord Grumpy" for Ieyasu and Mitsunari, and "Lord Lightning" and "Lord Flame" for Masamune and Yukimura, respectively. Also "White Bird" for Tsuruhime and "Swamp Butterfly" for Yoshitsugu.
125	* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Oh lord, Oichi... Thought she was scary enough in ''[=SB2=]''? Well ''[=SB3=]'' cranks it up. From the way she moves like a dead human puppet, dark hands cracking up skulls of unfortunate mooks, to playing with said hands while [[IronicNurseryTune singing a haunting lullaby]], complete with distorted audio when she speaks making her feel like she was out of a Japanese horror film.
126	** Half the time when you block with her she suddenly whispers "''Kill me!''"
127	** Her stages are just as bad, with the complete darkness and the shit-scary music.
128	* NightmareHands: Part of her magic involves channeling these things.
129	* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: So perfect that she grows more devoted to Nagamasa than to her elder brother, who arranged the marriage.
130	* PinkMeansFeminine: Her outfit is mainly black and pink.
131	* PopularityPower: How she managed to earn her story arc in ''Heroes'' -- and that's saying something in a series loaded with testosterone, which also leads her to be the sole female character in ''Cross''.
132	* PowersDoTheFighting: As of the third game, she relies completely on her powers in combat.
133	* PrettyInMink: Her outfit is loaded with black fur trimmings.
134	* [[PsychopathicManChild Psychopathic Woman Child]]: She tends to talk in a childish and sing-song manner in the third game.
135	* PsychoSupporter: In the Eastern Army path of ''[=SB3=]'', she becomes one to Ieyasu. He's actually quite uncomfortable about it.
136	* RedBaron: The Demon Queen of the Fifth Heaven in the third game.
137	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In ''Heroes'', she dies after [[spoiler:killing her brother and his subordinates]]. ''[=SB3=]'' retcons this into saying that she was the SoleSurvivor.
138	* TheRemnant: In the third game, as the "successor" of Nobunaga she's followed by the Remnants of the Oda Army, who serve her with a cult-like fervor. This leads to FridgeLogic when she fights against her brother.
139	* SayMyName: Particularly in the anime, though the games are guilty of this as well. If she's not apologizing, she's saying "Nagamasa-sama" over and over.
140	* ShapingYourAttacks: Her Darkness. Though is hard to tell who's controlling who.
141	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only female fighter in the fighting game spin-off.
142	* SomeDexterityRequired: One of her biggest perks is that most of her special attacks can be executed and maintained without interrupting her normal attacks. This requires a fair amount of coordination with one's button presses.
143	* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:In the fourth game, after Katsuie [[MurderTheHypotenuse kills Nagamasa]], Oichi snaps and develops a Nagamasa personality in which she believes herself to be Nagamasa.]]
144	* SquishyWizard: From the third game onwards. Her attack and defense scores are quite sub par and she moves and attacks slowly, especially in regards to cool down. However, all her moves have very good range and area-of-effect and involve grabbing, throwing or locking down the enemy's movement, and her shadow element gives her an effective InstantDeathRadius against mooks.
145	* StringyHairedGhostGirl: She bears similarities to this, especially in the third game, including her long black hair, pale skin, ghostly aura, limp doll-like movement, and hellish powers.
146	* SwordAndSorcerer: The Sorcerer (or Sorceress) to Nagamasa's Sword.
147	* ThirdPersonPerson: Makes her seem meek and child-like.
148	* ThrowTheDogABone: If Oichi chooses to follow Ieyasu in [=SB3=], he treats her kindly and promises to protect her, ensuring she can live peacefully after a lifetime of trauma and loss. Similarly, in Sorin's Drama ending in the fourth game [[spoiler:she's pretty happy with being part of Xavi-land since she happens to like all the singing and lights involved with Xavism.]]
149	* TokenGoodTeammate: Well, she used to be amongst the Oda clan. And even then, compared to [[EvilOverlord Nobunaga]], [[CombatSadomasochist Mitsuhide]], [[PsychoSupporter Nouhime]] and [[EnfanteTerrible Ranmaru]]...
150	* TraumaInducedAmnesia: It's revealed in ''[=SB3=]'' that following [[spoiler:Nagamasa's death and her fall into darkness]], she forced herself to forget all the terrible things that had happened.
151	-->'''Oichi:''' ''[[MadnessMantra Just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, just a dream...]]''
152	* UnstablePoweredWoman: With the deaths of Nagamasa and the Oda clan, Oichi was DrivenToMadness and became possessed by some dark power. She'll wander the land in a confused haze as dark hands kill anyone she happens to come across.
153	* VoiceOfTheLegion: During her Basara attack, when whatever is possessing her decides everything needs to die.
154	%%* WalkingWasteland
155	* WeakenedByTheLight: In the third game, when fighting her she has health regeneration unless you capture the nearby base and light candles that frighten and stun her. You actually get a bonus for defeating her ''without'' lighting said candles.
156	* WhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Her story ending in ''Heroes'', after she goes beserk and kills Nobunaga. She herself dies when the building collapses.]]
157	* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Not quite, but she's considered the most beautiful woman in Japan.
158	* {{Yandere}}: In the anime, after being possessed, she meets Yukimura and seems to mistake him for Nagamasa, calling him "my love" and attempting to drag him down to Hell so they can be together forever.
159	* YankTheDogsChain: After having some sense beaten into her during her second stage in the third game, the dark powers around her recede completely, she stands straight under her own power and she starts calling out to people, disoriented but entirely lucid for the first time in the whole game. [[spoiler:It lasts about 30 seconds before Tenkai kills her to revive Nobunaga.]]

163	!!Kyogoku Maria
164	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sb4_render_maria_6755.png]]
165	-->Voiced by: Creator/MiyukiSawashiro (Japanese)
166
167	->''"So, you want to prove yourself worthy of becoming mine?"''
168
169	Nagamasa's elder sister, a vain, domineering woman who likes to get her own way and uses her charms to trap enemies and assess how they may be of use to her. Became playable in ''Sumeragi''.
170
171	* ArabianNightsDays: Her stage, and she resembles a [[SultryBellyDancer belly dancer]], if her [[{{Leitmotif}} signature music]] wasn't enough.
172	* BedlahBabe: Covered only by a scrap of see-through gauze.
173	* BlowYouAway: Her element is Wind, though a special weapon can change it to Light.
174	* BrotherSisterTeam: With her brother Nagamasa.
175	* CharmPerson: Having magic, she can bewitch her opponents.
176	* ClothingCombat: She manipulates the sashes on her sleeves to attack her enemies, almost akin to ''[[{{Youkai}} tsukumogami]]'' ''ittan momen'', and can also use enormous veils to conceal herself. She can also tie up enemies and use them as leashes so they carry her like sled dogs.
177	* CripplingOverspecialization: She's great at crowd control and can rack up combos like crazy, but [[SquishyWizard fares poorly]] in one-on-one scenarios.
178	* DanceBattler: It is almost impossible to tell her attacks, which are all VERY feminine, graceful, and [[MagicDance magical]] apart from dance moves.
179	* DarkMistress: Though the extent of their relationship is kinda awry, most characters consider her this for Yoshiteru.
180	* DifficultButAwesome: Her attacks are all slow, awkward and do relatively little damage, but she's quite potent when it comes to crowd control, especially with her ability to make her enemies spin uncontrollably and pinball around the battlefield.
181	* DistractedByTheSexy: Everyone, whether man or woman, finds it impossible to concentrate around her, even in the midst of battle. Keiji even describes her as "so dazzling it makes me dizzy".
182	* EasyEvangelism: In Sorin's Drama ending of the fourth game, [[spoiler:she ends up becoming the new star of Sorin's Xavi-Land and drags Nagamasa and Oichi along with her (with the former more reluctant than the latter, who actually has fond memories of [[ContinuityNod their wedding in ''Heroes'']])]].
183	* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: As a witch, she can conjure sparkles.
184	* {{Expy}}: Fans can't help to comment that she is almost a carbon copy of [[VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi Sanzang]], if you squint. And she has similar facial structure with [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Wang Yuanji]].
185	** She also slightly resembles [[Manga/{{Jormungand}} Koko Hekmatyar]].
186	* FairytaleMotifs: A VainSorceress bumping heads with a [[RavenHairIvorySkin black-haired, fair-skinned]] non-relative? [[Literature/SnowWhite Check]]. A magical sister of a [[KnightInShiningArmor knightly character]]? [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Check]].
187	* FlowerMotifs: Adorning her skirt and jewellery.
188	* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: The historical Maria was an ordinary christian noblewoman who, after her husband's death, preached her religion to people around her, and Jesuits named her one of the best female catechists of the Kyoto-Osaka area. Here, Maria is a ''very'' bitchy mage who runs on ItsAllAboutMe and doesn't bother with religion, the only hint being her exotic name, which she picked because it sounds great and befits her status. She also thinks that because she's a natural beauty, she can get away with ''anything''.
189	* IntercourseWithYou: Basically what her ImageSong is about. See [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTRncYUh61g here]].
190	* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: Flirts with her opponents a great deal and has one move where she restrains them with her ribbons and then [[MagicKiss kisses]] them.
191	* ItsAllAboutMe: She's incredibly self-centered, demanding a constant stream of gifts and attention. In Sorin's drama route in the fourth game, [[spoiler:he convinces her and her sibling to become part of Xavi Land by appealing to her narcissism.]]
192	* KungFuWizard: She can fight physically and magically (i.e. conjuring up large veils).
193	* LadyOfBlackMagic [[LadyOfWar and War]]: As it appears.
194	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJoTgWGMaIM Theme of Kyogoku Maria ]]
195	* LightEmUp: Her alternate element, she can also employ a veritable light show to attack in one of her Specials.
196	* MacabreMothMotif: Nobunaga calls Maria a poisonous moth when she compares herself to Nohime (who has a butterfly motif).
197	* MageTower: Her stage involves a structure that looks like something outta ''[[ArabianNightsDays Arabian Nights]]'' accessible via large grand stairway, has palm trees surrounding it, and it overlooks a lake and a distant village.
198	* ManipulativeBitch: Nagamasa is wrapped around her little finger and she knows just which buttons to press to get her way. It doesn't stop there, however - not only is she prepared to manipulate people for her own selfish purposes using threats and flattery, but [[spoiler:in Katsuie's story [[MoralEventHorizon she couldn't give a damn when he kills Oichi and Nagamasa and proceeds to insult him for being pathetic]].]]
199	* MeltingPotNomenclature: She isn't a Christian convert (although she does join Sorin at the latter's Drama route), she's just calling herself 'Maria' because she feels like it. As it turns out, her name also happens to be the name of the Goddess of Xavism, which leads to Sorin trying to recruit her as a headliner for his Xavi Land amusement park in his drama route.
200	* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: PlayedForLaughs in one of her routes in ''Sumeragi'', where she challenges Ii Naotora on her BestHerToBedHer conditions and almost forces a reluctant Naotora to become her groom (she runs away screaming before the kiss though).
201	* ObnoxiousInLaws: The very idea that Oichi might direct Nagamasa's attention away from Maria is unacceptable to her, and as such she spends the whole of the fourth game making Oichi miserable.
202	* OccultBlueEyes: She has blue eyes and is a sorceress.
203	* ProudBeauty: Every word and gesture is meant to emphasize her sex appeal.
204	* ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful: Maria believes she's the most beautiful woman in the world and thus can do whatever the hell she wants. [[KarmaHoudini The fourth game plays this straight]].
205	* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Often berates Nagamasa for constantly spouting the word "justice", saying it is "childish" and "embarrassing".
206	* SnakesAreSinister: Her {{Familiar}}s are a pair of red and black striped snakes, heck those, being gifted in sorcery, her snobby attitude, and having green clothing would earn her a place in [[Characters/HarryPotterSlytherin Slytherin House]].
207	* SwordAndSorcerer: Like Oichi and Nagamasa, Maria's the Sorcer(ess) to Yoshiteru's Sword.
208	* TheTease: Mostly towards enemies, if only for kicks. [[IncestSubtext Her little brother]] can be on the receiving end as well.
209	* VainSorceress: Maria seems to use her spells both for combat and to rejuvenate herself.
210	* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Has platinum blonde hair and is arrogant, extremely vain, self-centered, manipulative, and skilled in black magic.
