2
3	!Enforcer Unit 09
4	A group who are investigating various phenomena in Earth Bet, specifically their target, designated Type-D, which is speculated to be a multiversal threat.
5
6	[[folder:In General]]
7	* TheAce: They came onto Brockton Bay's cape scene and instantly dismantled two major parahuman gangs. In addition, their magecraft is far more versatile and powerful than parahuman powers, making the original Unit Triumvirate level in terms of firepower. With Taylor acting as support, they've become nigh-unstoppable.
8	* BringIt: They declare that they will not back down even if the Protectorate tries to arrest them for not following the no-killing rule. [[spoiler:Caster even directly states later on during Overmind's interrogation that legal authority derives from a monopoly of power, which the PRT and Protectorate currently do not possess. Therefore, Unit 09 is de facto above the law]].
9	* CultureClash:
10	** Due to the level of the opponents they tangle with, Unit 09 is comfortable with and regularly employs lethal force when fighting. Parahumans, on the other hand, view escalating to lethal force as an absolute last resort. This causes tensions with the Protectorate and PRT, especially since Unit 09 are powerful enough to openly defy the rules and the law.
11	** They also have no problem with people seeing their faces or knowing their names. Overmind is the only exception as an Earth Bet native.
12	** Since they often have to work in [[{{Masquerade}} secrecy]], they have no moral objections to hypnotising or mind-wiping civilians or enemies, which is a big no-no on Earth Bet.
13	* CurbStompBattle: How most of their fights have gone.
14	** The Merchants' attempt to punish Saber, Overmind, and Regent for destroying one of their supply houses ends with [[spoiler:Trainwreck dead, and the rest captured and compelled under {{Geas}} to serve their prison sentences fully]].
15	** The ABB's attack as revenge for Lung's initial capture only serves [[spoiler:to get Lung captured again, minus a now-permanently amputated arm, and en route to the Birdcage, and the deaths of Bakuda and Oni Lee, leaving the ABB largely composed of unpowered mooks]].
16	** [[spoiler:Cauldron's effort to get back the vials Unit 09 took from Accord not only doesn't succeed, but ends up with Unit 09 capturing the Butcher for study, gaining an even bigger reputation for thrashing the Teeth, and would have gotten Eidolon killed were it not for Saber deliberately avoiding a fatal blow.]]
17	** [[spoiler:They successfully drive off the Empire forces that were helping the ABB splinter cell with minimal effort, even securing what's left of Bakuda's bombs.]]
18	** [[spoiler:When Tattletale is nearly killed, Overmind goes after the sniper, who accidentally blows himself up with grenade. [[NotWhatItLooksLike Since the sniper was one of Coil's PRT moles, this gets her arrested.]] She turns the situation to her advantage by hacking the PRT databases to obtain Coil's identity and stonewall Piggot's attempt to shake her down.]]
19	* DimensionalTraveller: Three fourths of the team are natives of Earth Tav.
20	* TheDreaded: Has earned this reputation after their defeat of the Merchants, the ABB, and [[spoiler:the Teeth]] to the point that ''three'' E88 capes have an OhCrap moment when they see Overmind - arguably the weakest member.
21	* GoodIsNotSoft: They are indisputably heroic. They are also the group who dismantled both the ABB and the Merchants in the same day, killing [[spoiler:Bakuda, Trainwreck, and Oni Lee, and sending Lung to the Birdcage]]. [[spoiler:And when faced with the Teeth and a Butcher-possessed Spree, they opt to chop Spree's limbs off along with destroying his eyes with healing-factor-negating weapons to keep him contained.]]
22	* HealingFactor: Thanks to copies of Avalon implanted within all the members of the unit excluding Saber, who holds the original.
23	* HiddenInPlainSight: The team sets up shop as a private eye agency with their literal name on the paperwork. The possibility of there being a connection with the new parahuman team that showed up at around the same time is disregard as both names are just too bland and ordinary that it would be far more likely for it to be a coincidence.
24	* OutsideContextProblem: A group of Triumvirate level combatants who appeared out of nowhere, and does not follow traditional parahuman rules of engagement, leading them to turn Brockton's underworld upside down in a matter of days. Unit 09 as a whole is able to stop most Thinker abilities used directly on them. [[spoiler:Even Contessa's Path of Victory and Dinah's probability-based precognition blur when trying to directly focus on them, whereas Tattletale is able to use hers because it's more focused on passive observation rather than any direct intrusion.]]
25	* PragmaticHero: All of them, to a lesser or greater degree. From making alliances with some criminals to maiming and killing their foes, Unit 09 doesn't hesistate when it comes to fulfilling their goals and protecting civilians. [[spoiler:When they agree to trade the Butcher, Overmind outright warns the heroes about his changing-hosts-on-suicide power, since they need to know that]].
26	* SuperpowerLottery: The entire team won it big time. Rin is powerful magus with extensive thaumaturgic knowledge. Shirou has Unlimited Blade Works and all powers it grants him. Saber is a Servant. Taylor has very useful (if tricky) parahuman power, beginner magus training and Saber as her personal tutor.
27	* UnderestimatingBadassery: Everyone from the ABB to the Merchants to the PRT does it to varying degrees.
28	** [[spoiler: Cauldron believed they could intimidate Unit 09. Eidolon lampshades it, saying he underestimated them.]]
29	[[/folder]]

31	[[folder:Caster]]
32	!!Rin Tohsaka
33	A magus from the esteemed Tohsaka family of Japan, and leader of Unit 09.

50	----
51	* AbsentMindedProfessor: She tends to get carried away when explaining magecraft, or skips the explanation because she forgot people didn't already know it.
52	* ActionGirl: Comes with the territory with being an Enforcer.
53	* AlwaysAccurateAttack: [[spoiler:Gae Bolg. It reverses cause and effect so that it always strikes the heart of the target.]]
54	* BrutalHonesty: Rin doesn't sugarcoat.
55	** When first explaining their mission to Undersiders and Taylor she bluntly says that Zelretch will seal Earth Bet and let it burn if it's needed to contain Type-D.
56	** [[spoiler:She outright tells Piggot that the PRT has no control over Brockton Bay and therefore Unit 09 is ''de facto'' above the law]].
57	* CharmPerson: As a result of her Enforcer training and Mystic Eyes of Whisper.
58	* CheshireCatGrin: A master of this. Her "angelic smile" is explicitly stated to be a threat.
59	* ClingyJealousGirl: Objects rather strenuously to any attempts to woo Shirou.
60	* CompellingVoice: Part of her repertoire as Enforcer.
61	* FingerGun: The Gandr curse is fired from her index finger, and Rin's variant is a full-on energy bullet. More like Finger Hand Gun, since most of Rin's opponents justify using the full power of the spell.
62	* GemstoneAssault: Uses Jewel Magecraft in combat.
63	* {{Geas}}: Rin is capable of doing this. [[spoiler:She tricks the Merchants into promising to comply with their sentences to the fullest extent of the law. When they do so, they are immediately bound, meaning that they no longer have a choice but to honor their promise]].
64	* GratuitousGerman: Her magical incantations are in pseudo-German.
65	* HopelessWithTech: As per canon though she got ''a little'' better since Fifth Grail War. She's completely unaware that smartphones even ''exist'' until Chapter 17.
66	* HypnoticEyes: Had Mystic Eyes of Whispers implanted sometime during her time in Clocktower.
67	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice:
68	** [[spoiler:Gets impaled on Lung's claws during their rematch. [[GoodThingYouCanHeal It doesn't take.]]]]
69	** On the giving end towards [[spoiler:Trainwreck with Gae Bolg, after he takes Grue hostage]].
70	* {{Invocation}}: Per canon, uses various ones in pseudo-German.
71	* MagicKnight: Fits this niche among Unit 09. Though her specialty is still magecraft, she can throw down with the other two members of her unit in close combat with her spear and she regularly spars with Shirou.
72	* LadyAndKnight: Has this dynamic with Saber, with her being the Lady.
73	* MadScientist: Has her moments like when she's expressing interest in dissecting a parahuman to Taylor's face.
74	* NoblesseOblige: How she views her position as a magus and how she justifies helping others. Taylor notes that [[{{Tsundere}} it's just an excuse for her inherent decency.]]
75	* NotAMorningPerson: As per canon, once again. Taylor consistently compares her to a zombie in the morning.
76	* RedOniBlueOni: She's the red to Saber (and occasionally Shirou)'s blue.
77	* SupremeChef: Specializes in Chinese cuisine, though her time under Kotomine seems to have given her an affinity for spicy food...
78	* TronLines: When she activates her Magic Circuits.
79	* {{Tsundere}}: She's [[CharacterDevelopment mellowed out since the events of Unlimited Blade Works]], but it's still there. Case in point: her reaction after Shirou tells Taylor the story of how she learned Reinforcement.
80	* WeaponSpecialization: Wields a spear, is revealed in Chapter 10 to be [[spoiler:Gae Bolg]].
81	* WhatTheHellHero: Gets it from Taylor for hypnotizing her dad and herself without any warning.
82	[[/folder]]
83
84	[[folder:Archer]]
85	!!Shirou Emiya
86	The adoptive son of the infamous Magus Killer and apprentice, at least on paper, of Rin Tohsaka. He is Unit 09's long range specialist.

102	* Listed attributes are Servant Class
103	----
104	* TheAce: Certainly by cape standards. Enhanced strength and reflexes via Reinforcement, can manifest copies of several Noble Phantasms, which he can then Alter into projectiles and other shapes.
105	* AlmightyJanitor: Is officially recognized by the Mage's Association as Rin's apprentice, but is arguably the [[PersonOfMassDestruction deadliest member of the group]], thanks to Unlimited Blade Works.
106	* TheAntiNihilist: Has long since come to terms with the impossibility of realizing his ideals, but chooses to work towards them anyway.
107	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Is a master of Structural Analysis, to the point where he could use it on Overmind's swarm to Project a [[spoiler:model of Accord's tower]] during their infiltration. Overmind notes that the mystery occurred near instantaneously. It's also a key part of how Unlimited Blade Works functions.
108	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Shirou is the one most often pushing to save the lives of villains, but is also the firmest when [[spoiler:maiming the Butcher]].
109	* {{BFS}}: Briefly Projects Berserker's Nine Lives stone axe-sword [[spoiler:during his fight against Hookwolf]].
110	* ChickMagnet: His ChronicHeroSyndrome and general NiceGuy tendencies, combined with his looks, tend to draw attention from the female population. Defied by Rin, however, when she explicitly forbids Taylor from falling for Shirou.
111	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Toned down from his days in the Holy Grail War, but still there. He dashes out of the car to save a group of civilians being victimized by [[spoiler:the Teeth when Unit 09 are on their way back to Brockton Bay after interrogating Accord]].
112	* CripplingOverspecialization: His magecraft skills consist entirely of the abilities derived from Unlimited Blade Works, meaning he can only use Projection, Reinforcement, and Structural Analysis with a high degree of competency. Downplayed in that he can use other spells like Hypnosis, it's just that he isn't nearly as skilled at those as other magi like Rin.
113	* DeadpanSnarker: A bit.
114	* DualWielding: His preferred weapons are Kanshou and Bakuya, at the same time.
115	* FriendlySniper: The nicest member of Unit 09? Check. The man who can snipe you with the magical equivalent of a nuke from eight kilometers away? Also check.
116	* HeroesPreferSwords: Duh. Bonus points for his Origin and Element both being Sword.
117	* HiddenDepths: Apparently knows a bit about Chinese history and specifics of various criminal enterprises, as he lectures Overmind on those topics.
118	* HonorBeforeReason: Averted. Whereas he may have once insisted on wiping out all the gangs of Brockton Bay, he is now pragmatic enough to only obliterate one gang (the Merchants) and merely break the other two so as to prevent an EvilPowerVacuum.
119	* HyperspaceArsenal: Unlimited Blade Works.
120	* {{Invocation}}: "Trace on" and his Soul Aria.
121	* NiceGuy: The friendliest member of Unit 09, and the most merciful.
122	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Can summon Anti-Army Noble Phantasms out of thin air, which he can Alter into arrows to shoot from [[ImprobableAimingSkills kilometers away]].
123	* SupremeChef: Everyone loves his cooking.

125
126	[[folder:Saber]]
127	!!Arturia Pendragon a.k.a. King Arthur Pendragon
128	A Servant who accompanies Rin and Shirou as their companion.

145
146	* Listed attributes are Servant Class
147	----
148	* ActionGirl: Do we really need to explain?
149	* AntiMagic: Her A-Rank Magic Resistance allows her to NoSell most parahuman powers.
150	* AntiquatedLinguistics: A bit. She lets a few "verily"s slip out now and again. Makes sense, given her identity as King Arthur.
151	* BadassAdorable: Less adorable and more endearing: her honest and straightforward nature helps Taylor feel safe among Unit 09, but she's arguably the strongest member in terms of close combat. Case in point: she's slightly embarrassed when she discovers that she isn't qualified to teach Taylor art.
152	* BadassBiker: Rides a (probably magecraft-enhanced) motorcycle as her primary means of transport.
153	* BadassBoast: An unusual one, as it's a declaration of intent rather than exulting her own abilities, but the threat she delivers to the gathered villains at Somer's Rock is chilling:
154	--> '''Saber:''' There is only one proper way to deal with bandits. You will be offered one chance to surrender. Those that refuse will be put to the sword, their heads set on pikes as a reminder to any who would repeat your error.
155	* BadassTeacher: Acts as Taylor's personal tutor.
156	* BigEater: She can eat at least twice or thrice what a normal person can.
157	* ClingyJealousGirl: Downplayed but she didn't like Alec flirting with Rin.
158	* CoolBike: Has one as her main form of transport, possibly augmented with magecraft.
159	* CombatPrecognition: Her Instinct skill allows her to anticipate her opponents' moves.
160	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Does this to [[spoiler:Eidolon]].
161	* LadyAndKnight: Has this dynamic with Rin, with her being the Knight.
162	* NoSell: She is immune to most parahuman powers, thanks to her A-Rank Magic Resistance. She can also flare said Magic Resistance into a field that negates parahuman powers.
163	* WeaponSpecialization: Wields an unnamed lance. Considering the described effect of its hit, it may be [[spoiler:Rhongomyniad]].
164	[[/folder]]
165
166	[[folder:Overmind]]
167	!!Taylor Hebert
168	A newbie parahuman who fell in with Unit 09 after Caster saved her life.
169
170	PRT Classification: Master 7 (anthropods)
171	----
172	* ACupAngst: Rather insecure about her lack of significant feminine traits aside from her hair.
173	* AbsurdlySharpBlade: One of the Noble Phantasms she carries is Nanatsu-Yoru, which has the ability to slice through anything before shattering.
174	* ActionGirl: In contrast to her ActionSurvivor status in canon at this point, she has been able to [[spoiler:hold off Armsmaster at the bank robbery, kill Bakuda, fight off Hemorrhagia and defeat Animos in close combat (dealing a potentially mortal injury), and fight off Rune and Stormtiger]]. This is thanks to her ability to use Magecraft, Saber's training, Caster's upgrades to her costume, and the two Noble Phantasms supplied by Archer. Case in point, she's more than capable of defeating [[spoiler:Sophia Hess when she attacks Taylor at a coffee shop]].
175	* AnimalEyeSpy: As per canon, with two differences:
176	** She concentrates more on the smell and the proprioception since those senses are more developed in the bugs.
177	** Thanks to the Magic Circuits that connect to her Corona Pollentia, she's able to trade control and power for more range, allowing her to extend her range beyond her usual three blocks.
178	* AscendedFangirl: In canon, she joined a small-time villain group. Here, she joins a unit of interdimensional mercenaries who are currently trying to save the world. Said unit is composed of Triumvirate-level combatants.
179	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: [[spoiler:In Chapter 20, she quickly realizes the attacking monster is a projection.]]
180	* BadassBoast: When she reveals to [[spoiler:Piggot]] the extent of her control over the [[spoiler:PRT builing]]:
181	--> '''Overmind:''' I'll make things clear. Right now, I have complete control over the entire building. That's every containment foam dispenser, every alarm, and every automatic door. And that includes that tape recorder you have running in the room on the other side of that mirrored window over there.
182	* BadPowersGoodPeople: Her power is to control swarms of insects [[spoiler:and later she learns how to hypnotize people]]. She's also one of the nicest people in the setting. Downplayed because the threats she's been facing have forced her to employ lethal force.
183	* BeeBeeGun: Though her skill in close combat is improving, she still prefers to operate at a relative distance with her swarm.
184	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is a very nice 15-year-old...who also [[spoiler:personally killed Bakuda via Broken Tinkertech grenades, along with cutting off Animos' shoulder whole. Also gives Spree a death threat and goes after the sniper who almost killed Tattletale with unrestrained viciousness]].
185	* BigBrotherIsWatching: See AnimalEyeSpy above.
186	* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: In addition to her canon researching of insects and testing her power, Overmind also regularly receives close combat training from Saber, magic training from Rin, and lectures on various aspects of the criminal world from Shirou.
187	* CharmPerson: Is learning how to do this as part of her training with Rin. [[spoiler:Apparently, her shard makes it really easy to implant suggestions in others.]]
188	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Much like Shirou, in fact, though she has a higher amount of self-worth.
189	* CombatPragmatist: [[JustifiedTrope Kinda a given when your power is controlling insects.]] Overmind sets up traps in advance and is perfectly willing to send her swarm into exposed orifices, as seen with [[spoiler:Hemorrhagia]].
190	* CoolMask: As per canon.
191	* CreepyGood: Comes across as this due to her power.
192	* {{Familiar}}: Rin helps Taylor make one from a pet spider. She names him [[FormallyNamedPet Mr. Fuzzy]]. [[spoiler:Notably, the connection is intact after he was digitized and she can command him even after he should have evolved beyond the scope of her power.]]
193	* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: [[spoiler:Still perceives her swarm as bugs even after they were digitized.]]
194	* FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch: Said bitch being Emma Barnes.
195	* FreakyFashionMildMind: Taylor's costume mostly consists of black widow silk and plate armor, which has the side effect of making her costume black and grey. The yellow bulbous eyes and mandibles of her mask don't help either. Beneath her mask, she's just a 15-year-old who got a raw deal.
196	* GhostInTheMachine: There are increasing hints that Queen Administrator is very active in Taylor's head, moreso than in canon.
197	** When thinking about a good cape name, Taylor ''really'' wants to pick Administrator.
198	---> ''It rang true to me.''
199	** A bug clone leads the Undersiders to [[spoiler: an injured Regent]] without her conscious input.
200	** [[spoiler:After she opens Accord's safe, there is a string of characters in hex that translates to "Hello!"]]
201	** [[spoiler:During chapters 21 and 22, Taylor thinks she can actually ''feel'' the shard in her head, at least some of the time. It may not be her imagination.]]
202	** [[spoiler:Later, she automatically sets her screen name to [="UXVlZW4gQWRtaW4="=] which translates to [="QueenAdmin"=] in Base 64.]]
203	* GoodIsNotSoft: See BewareTheNiceOnes above. She also adapts Unit 09's acceptance of lethal force rather quickly.
204	* HeroicBSOD.: Taylor has a mild one when she realizes [[{{Polyamory}} why Rin forbids her from falling for Shirou]].
205	--> '''Taylor:''' (''indignant'') I am not going to steal your boyfriend.\
206	'''Rin:''' Good, because after finding a bed wide enough to fit three, I refuse to return to schedule. So no falling for Shirou. Got it?\
207	''[Taylor freezes at the implication]''\
208	'''Taylor:''' ''[internally]'' ...Father, your pure, innocent daughter has fallen into a pit of debauchery.
209	* HugeSchoolgirl: Is 5'8'' at fifteen years old.
210	* HypnoticEyes: Not to the same degree as Rin, but she needs eye contact to Hypnotise anyone.
211	* IAmNotPretty: In keeping with Worm canon, Taylor has several body image issues that she occasionally compares to Rin and Saber. However, in Chapter 18, Lisa points out that she's far more attractive than she believes, and she comes to realize this is likely due to her physical training, full meals, lack of depression, [[spoiler:and a side-effect of constant use of Avalon]] improving her health significantly.
212	* ImplausibleFencingPowers: The effect of her other Noble Phantasm, Taming Sari. It effectively gives her a defensive combat Thinker ability, but it's weaker when she goes on the offensive, and it can be knocked out of her hands by a well-placed blow.
213	* {{Invocation}}: Rin implants three of them into Taylor's mind to help her control her powers. ''Anfang Ader'' activates her magic circuits, ''Anfang Käfer'' manipulates her parahuman power and ''Beenden'' deactivates her circuits.
214	* JumpedAtTheCall: Signed up with Unit 09 with minimal prodding.
215	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Orders the Undersiders to retreat when [[spoiler:Armsmaster captures her]].
216	* LogicalWeakness: To both of her Noble Phantasms:
217	** Nanatsu-Yoru [[CripplingOverspecialisation doesn't have a non-lethal setting]] and its power immediately destroys the projection.
218	** Taming Sari's effectiveness depends on its user's physical condition, it cannot protect more than one person, is weaker on offensive, and can be rendered useless by knocking out of hand.
219	** Even her parahuman power has it. She can command all the bugs, but ''they're still only bugs''. If a task requires sapient thought, she needs to oversee it personally.
220	* MeaningfulName: "Overmind" takes on another layer of meaning when [[spoiler:you take into account her unnatural skill with [[CharmPerson Hypnosis]] and her newly-gained {{Technopathy}}]].
221	* TheMinionMaster: She can control millions of bugs, [[spoiler:including virtual ones]].
222	* OddNameOut: Taylor breaks from the ThemeNaming that the rest of Unit 09 subscribes to by dubbing herself Overmind.
223	* SuperEmpowering: Happens to her ''thrice'' beside the canon event:
224	** Rin unlocks her magic circuits which grants her magecraft and a greater flexibility with her shard.
225	** Shirou gifts her two projected Noble Phantasms, boosting her fighting skills.
226	** [[spoiler: She uses her magecraft to LoopholeAbuse and twist her parahuman power, and grant herself {{Technopathy}}]].
227	* {{Technopathy}}: [[spoiler:Gains this ability following her attempt to open Accord's safe. Though Rin has to magically digitize her swarm to deal with the feedback.]]
228	* ThatManIsDead: Realizes how much she changed since joining Unit 09 in Chapter 18, and concludes she's not the same girl she was beforehand.
229	* TookALevelInBadass: From a complete newbie who has to be saved by Rin from being killed on her first day as a cape to a member of the most feared parahuman group of Brockton Bay. [[spoiler:By Chapter 20, she's capable of soloing Rune and Stormtiger, forcing them into retreat.]]

232	!Undersiders
233	A group of small-time thieves. They are secretly being backed by Coil. After an attempt to rob the Brockton Bay Central Bank goes wrong, they are bailed out by Unit 09, and are now on loan to them from Coil until May 15th.

242	* MalevolentMaskedMan: Wears a skull or demon mask when in costume.
243	* PetTheDog: Gives Taylor some starting tips concerning caping, even saying she should consider joining the Wards to be safer. [[spoiler:Later, he tells the same to Machina.]]
244	* PragmaticVillainy: He keeps the Undersiders out of more serious crimes like drug trade and murder, so the Protectorate will be less likely to focus on them over bigger gangs. [[spoiler:Which means he's not happy when Unit 09 kills people during the fight with the ABB and the Merchants, as it will also affect his gang's reputation.]]
245	* PunchClockVillain: The Undersiders are his source of income and a way to get custody of his sister, but he has no great aspirations as a villain.

254	* AwesomenessByAnalysis: This is basically her power.
255	* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:She gets sniped by one of Coil's mercenaries, though it doesn't take. This is problematic as he is also a mole in the PRT.]]
256	* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 10 is from her perspective.
257	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Tattletale has this reaction when [[spoiler:she cannot perceive ''anything'' concerning magic circuits with her parahuman powers during Gregor's examination, realising that her power is ''intentionally omitting information about it'']].
258	* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Enforced after the assassination attempt. Overmind outright says that whatever else happens tonight, Tattletale ''must'' be believed dead.]]
259	* ForegoneConclusion: Since she's listed as one of the authors of paper on parahuman powers, [[spoiler:it's obvious she survives the assassination attempt]].
260	* TheGadfly: Loves to tease her friends and mock her enemies. Bonus points, their reactions give her powers more information to work with.
261	* ItsPersonal: The reason she doesn't want to tell Caster [[spoiler:about Coil. Taylor calls her out on this]].
262	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Becomes completely serious and ''scared'' when [[spoiler:telling Taylor about Coil]].
263	* SherlockScan: How Taylor describes her powers. Of course it can [[EntertaininglyWrong backfire]] [[WrongAssumption just like]] the TropeNamer.
264	* WhatTheHellHero: Gets one from Taylor when she tries to convince her [[spoiler:to hack bank records. And then another one for keeping her problems with Coil a secret]].

341	* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 23 is from his perspective.
342	* HypocrisyNod: Aknowledges that if it was a member of his team in [[spoiler:Overmind's place]], he would be making excuses for them.
343	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He has his moments. [[spoiler:He isn't happy when Dragon implies Sophia was involved with Overmind's Trigger.]] See PetTheDog.
344	* JerkassHasAPoint:
345	** When he points out to Dragon they have right to be worried since they have no idea about Unit 09's motives, goals, or employers.
346	** He's right that Dauntless would be a less-than-ideal leader due to his attitude to heroing.
347	** And again when he says that [[spoiler:Overmind should have handed over the assassin to him]].
348	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Runs away from the bank fight once Archer shows up to help Overmind, since all other heroes and the PRT agents were captured by then.

378	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: She calls ''everyone'' into the PRT HQ [[spoiler:when they capture Overmind. It leaves them stressing out about an attack that will not happen ''and'' gives Overmind more hostages to hold once she takes over the building]].
379	* ImproperlyParanoid: Suspects [[TheParagon Dragon]] of having some hidden agenda and amassing power to fulfill it.
380	* ManipulativeBitch: Has shades of this. She considers using Armsmaster as a scapegoat for the bank job fiasco, brings up a kill order for Unit 09 early on so that the others will be more willing to consider it later, and [[spoiler:starts negotiations with Caster by asking her team to join Protectorate before "settling" on exchanging Overmind for Butcher XV]].
381	* ProperlyParanoid:
382	** After only their first public battle, wherein Unit 09 completely demolished the PRT and Protectorate at the bank heist, Piggot compares Unit 09's power to being on the same threat level as Heartbreaker and the Slaughterhouse 9, and already starts entertaining the idea of a kill order. She does this without knowing anything ''close'' to their full abilities, or the fact that they're willing to kill their opponents if necessary.
383	** Seen again in Chapters 22 and 23, where Piggot has almost every Protectorate hero, all the Wards, hundreds of agents, [[spoiler:and even Dragon]] called into the PRT HQ in the middle of the night to be ready for a siege by Unit 09 [[spoiler:in anticipation of them breaking out a captured Overmind]].

399	* BenevolentAI: This is what she really is.
400	* DevilsAdvocate: Takes this role when talking with Armsmaster about [[spoiler:Overmind's arrest]]. Yes, she should have handed over the agent, but considering circumstances, can people really blame her for not doing it?
401	* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Averted? Inverted? She can perceive computer code without any problems due to her nature, which means [[spoiler:she sees Overmind's swarm as a computer virus and not as digitized insects]].
402	** Also completely averted for her own representation, [[spoiler:which Overmind compares to a mountain of circuits and data, and thinks it just '''cannot''' possibly be mistaken for anything than resembles a human consciousness]].
403	* GadgeteerGenius: She is considered the greatest tinker in the world.
404	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Her reasoning for trying to convince Armsmaster to leave the Protectorate and join the Guild - she sees how frustrated he gets with the lack of progress and thinks he needs a change of pace.

464	** Grue and Tattletale outright warn her that she ''will'' need to cede territory to other gangs while she's cementing her position as the leader.
465	** Caster tells her to change her gang colors and name, and let Protectorate think that ABB was destroyed to buy herself some time.
466	* OriginalCharacter: Created for this fic.
467	* MeaningfulName:
468	** Her name literally means "a machine", hinting at her Tinker powers.
469	** She decides to name her gang in honor of the Taiping Dao Taoist sect of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
470	* NaiveNewcomer: For Brockton Bay's gang scene. Overmind even notes Machina makes a lot of amateur mistakes.
471	* PuppetKing:
472	** She was ''supposed'' to be this to ABB. Reality turned out to be a little different.
