| 8 | |
| 9 | * AntiHero: [[spoiler:In the Cardinal Route, she is a mild example. While she is responsible for many deaths, those were in self-defense, and ultimately she created a better world for everyone by destroying the twelve Zodiac Crowns and therefore hierarchy. She is also willing to pay for the damage that she caused during her quest.]] |
| 10 | * TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:In the Fixed Route, where she is a straight example of a VillainProtagonist, she manages to achieve her goal of bringing back the Golden Age. However, it is a PyrrhicVictory, since she loses her friends and lover in the process.]] |
| 11 | %%* BlackAndWhiteInsanity |
| 12 | * CatchphraseInsult: "Heretic". |
| 13 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: She doesn't like anything that has sugar in it. |
| 14 | %%* TheDreaded |
| 15 | * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Virgo is the only Zodiac who has the title of "Queen", and as evidenced by the fact she is often referred to as "Dreadful Queen" by "heretics", she is not exactly well-liked. Nor is she as pure as she believes she is. The denizens of the Holy Asylum see her as TheHighQueen, though. |
| 16 | %%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: {{Inverted|Trope}}. |
| 17 | * IncompatibleOrientation: On the receiving end of this, as unfortunately for Spica, Virgo is a lesbian. |
| 18 | %%* KnightTemplar |
| 19 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLq5av7WI0U&feature=youtu.be "The Holy Queen"]]. |
| 20 | * LightIsNotGood: She has blonde hair and parts of her outfit are white, yet she is feared by many and will kill anyone who gets in the way of her goals. |
| 21 | * MissingMainCharacter: Becomes this in the Pisces Realm after she, Ginger and Pisces are knocked out. The game then switches to Spica and Algol, who have to find her. |
| 22 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: Zig-zagged. She's apparently jacked in-universe (even if her character art presents her as very thin) and is a competent fighter, but the other members of her party are strong too despite their lack of muscles, and so are the rest of the Zodiacs (some of which are technically stronger than her). |
| 23 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: It would be a good idea to avoid any individual known as "Dreadful Queen". |
| 24 | * NeatFreak: She's obsessed with things being clean and symmetrical. She also requires gloves when it comes to [[FastballSpecial throwing her allies at the enemy]] in battle. |
| 25 | %%* ThePerfectionist: To a villainous degree. |
| 26 | %%* PureIsNotGood: So much. |
| 27 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She gives one to Cancer, but its effect is lost on her. |
| 28 | -->'''Virgo''': Will you, really? Someone like you... Could just drop dead and nobody would notice. Don't you think so?\ |
| 29 | '''Cancer''': What you mean... someone like me?\ |
| 30 | '''Virgo''': What do I mean by that...? I'll tell you what I mean. Although you breathe and you are living, well... I wonder what hope there could possibly be. You're someone... Who is so spineless that people can treat them whatever they want! Being used by Capricorn, having all of your profits go to her corporation... And still crawling here like this, licking her boot to gain some approval from that filthy, greedy Zodiac. You call this revenge, really? You are merely a cursed child... Cursed to live forever, without your own children for your own realm. No organic denizens.\ |
| 31 | '''Cancer''': (''StunnedSilence'')\ |
| 32 | '''Virgo''': Hah... And you're so alone you even spy on the other Zodiacs... For what, the company? Your existence isn't even useful! You just keep living your useless life, since you were thrown out in the world without any kind of blessings. If you were more courageous, I expect you would have disappeared a long time ago. You're pitiful. Did you know that? I pity you so much that I feel the need to do what you can't do yourself. I'll make you disappear. |
| 33 | * RedBaron: Virgo, the Holy Queen. Queen of Purity and Dreadful Queen also qualify. |
| 34 | * SanitySlippage: [[spoiler: Virgo goes off the deep end in the Fixed Route, becoming a [[AxCrazy violent]], [[HairTriggerTemper easily angered]], [[{{Narcissist}} self-important]] mess who is willing to sacrifice Ginger and kill her own companions if they don't follow her orders. She even refuses to believe Pisces is dead, going around the galaxy in a vain attempt to find her.]] |
| 35 | * TinyTyrannicalGirl: She's only 4'9", although the game only mentions this once and both her sprites and her character portrait don't make it obvious. |
| 36 | * {{Tsundere}}: Virgo is this towards her girlfriend Pisces, and even her friends Algol and Spica. This is acknowledged in-universe, with Spica saying Virgo is a Tsundere when he is properly introduced, and Algol teasing Virgo about it. |
| 37 | * VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler:Subverted in the [[GoldenEnding Cardinal Route]], where she is at worst a mild AntiHero. Played straight in the [[DownerEnding Fixed Route]].]] |
| 38 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Her goal is to bring back the Golden Age, an era of peace, symmetry and balance. But that doesn't justify all of the horrible things she does, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist and it's not even made clear if bringing back the Golden Age would actually be a good thing]]. |

| 42 | !!Spica, the Royal Servant |

| 45 | |
| 46 | * AgentPeacock: He has a rather feminine appearance, wears heeled shoes, holds a bouquet in his victory animation, and he's also as good a fighter as Virgo and Algol are. |
| 47 | * TheFettered: Spica's insistence of only participating in honorable combat never turns into HonorBeforeReason. [[spoiler: No wonder he turns against Virgo in the Fixed Route.]] |
| 48 | %%* HeroAntagonist: [[spoiler: Along with Algol in the Fixed Route.]] |
| 49 | * HopelessSuitor: Seems to be into Virgo, but she doesn't even like him to begin with and is [[IncompatibleOrientation already dating Pisces]]. It doesn't matter too much, since later on, he goes for Algol instead. [[spoiler: And Algol apparently likes him back.]] |
| 50 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/H84VKdK_Ti8 "The Royal Servant".]] [[spoiler: And [[https://youtu.be/5eEjUG3wFHs "Supernova",]] which is shared with Algol.]] |
| 51 | * MeaningfulName: Spica get his name from the star of the same name, which is the brightest object in the constellation of Virgo. |
| 52 | * NiceGuy: Especially when compared to Virgo and Algol. See Token Good Teammate below. |
| 53 | * TheOneGuy: The only male character in the main party. |
| 54 | %%* PrettyBoy: Very much so. |
| 55 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Virgo is an obsessive VillainProtagonist and Algol is a remorseless killer [[spoiler: out for revenge]]. Spica is a nice and honourable guy. |
| 56 | * UndyingLoyalty: Downplayed. While he mostly remains loyal to Virgo and her cause despite her disdain for him (and even acknowledges at one point that she abaondoned him), [[spoiler:he does have his limits and turns against her in the Fixed Route]]. |
| 57 | * WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: In the Fixed Route, Spica tells Virgo that he doesn't recognize her anymore.]] |
| 58 | -->[[spoiler: '''Spica''': I followed your cause because I believed in you. But now... You don't seem like the Holy Queen I once knew. The Queen who created your Realm and me. Your voice has changed, My Queen, and I don't find myself compelled to follow it any longer.]] |
| 59 | |
| 60 | -->[[spoiler: '''Spica''' (after Virgo kills Algol): You... You killed her... You cannot be the one who created me. You cannot be my Queen! [[DefiantToTheEnd Spare me not, Holy Queen. I will fight you to my dying breath]]!]] |

| 67 | |
| 68 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: She has cat ears, carries an alpaca plushie, tries to eat Ginger at first, and jumps up and down excitedly in her victory animation. She's also been killing stars (including Deneb Algedi if you spare her), [[spoiler:inherited her mother's curse of turning people to stone with her face]], and [[spoiler:turns against Virgo in the Fixed Route]]. |
| 69 | * CoolMask: It sure makes her look cooler. It's also important because [[spoiler:if she doesn't wear it, whoever looks at her face will turn to stone.]] |
| 70 | * CuteWitch: She has a broomstick which she can fly with, and her grandmother is a witch. As for cute, well, just look at her. |
| 71 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: [[DoomedMoralVictor Even though they didn't win]], you have to admit that it's incredibly awesome how Algol and Spica turned against Virgo in the Fixed Route, [[YoureInsane calling her insane]] and [[YouMonster letting her know just how much of a horrible person she is]].]] |
| 72 | --> [[spoiler: '''Algol''' (after Virgo kills Spica): By the damned rulers, you really killed him... You think you deserve the crown, Virgo? You think you deserve the Golden Age? May my spells curse you for eternity... That's what you REALLY deserve!]] |
| 73 | * EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler: In the Fixed Route, Algol is disgusted by Virgo's willingness to sacrifice Ginger to get the Golden Crown, rightfully considering her to be insane. When Virgo does nothing to help her own case, she turns against her, along with Spica.]] |
| 74 | * FreudianExcuse: Became the way she is today [[spoiler: after Perseus betrayed her trust and killed Medusa, her mother. She admits she used to be innocent back then, but hasn't felt anything since.]] |
| 75 | * TheGadfly: Yup. Particularly notable is when she teases Virgo about her {{Tsundere}} tendencies. |
| 76 | * HeroAntagonist: [[spoiler: She turns against Virgo, along with Spica, in the Fixed Route.]] |
| 77 | * IHaveManyNames: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Foul Star, Demon Star,]] [[CoolMask Masked Lady, Masked One]] and many other nice names. |
| 78 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Rather than use an actual shield to defend herself, she'll instead use various different objects that only she can be equipped with, [[UnconventionalFoodUsage such as mushrooms and cakes]]. |
| 79 | * LackOfEmpathy: She outright admits that she doesn't care about the stars that she's killed. |
| 80 | --> '''Algol''': Awwwwwwwwwww man, that's adorable! I think I'm feeling feelings! I'm not sure if I like them. |
| 81 | ** That being said, Algol is not nearly as bad as she seems to be at surface level. She actually values Virgo and Spica as her friends, [[spoiler:and she'll fight anyone who is willing to sell out a friend, as shown in the Fixed Route.]] |
| 82 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Although there isn't one just for Algol, there is [[spoiler: [[https://youtu.be/5eEjUG3wFHs "Supernova"]], which she shares with Spica.]] |
| 83 | * MeaningfulName: Algol is the name of a star that's colloquially known as the Demon Star, and it is associated with violence across a wide variety of cultures. Although Algol is not located in the constellation of Taurus, it is right next to it, hence why she is a Tauresean in the game. Its actual location in the sky, however? [[spoiler: The constellation of Perseus.]] |
| 84 | * ObliviousToLove: She is unaware of Spica's feelings for her, [[JustFriends seeing him as a friend instead]]. [[spoiler: She finds out, and apparently reciprocates, in the Starcrossed Ending.]] |
| 85 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler: What Algol wants to do, ultimately. She wants to bring back Perseus, the murderer of her mother, just so that she can kill him.]] |
| 86 | * {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler: Algol's motivation. Perseus used her to get closer to her mother Medusa, wanting the fame that would come with Medusa's head. Perseus did manage to kill Medusa, but Algol caught him in the act, immediately removing her mask and [[TakenForGranite turning him to stone]] in retaliation. However, Algol soon came to believe that petrification was too merciful of a fate for Perseus, so she started gathering Star Cores to remove the curse she had put on him, all in the hopes of killing him with her own hands.]] |
| 87 | * UnscrupulousHero: Despite being a murderer who feels no guilt for her actions, Algol is really not that bad, helping Virgo even after her own quest is finished. [[spoiler: In fact, she actually turns against Virgo in the Fixed Route. Maybe Pisces' decision to free Algol from the Astrological Prison wasn't so wrong, after all.]] |
| 88 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler: According to herself, she used to be much more innocent. Perseus changed this, though she's still not all that bad underneath.]] |
| 89 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:She's desperate to collect the last star cores she needs in order to get revenge against Perseus, but she never betrays Virgo and Spica in order to get the latter's core. Even when she's alone with Spica, she doesn't try to kill him. She also helps to revive Virgo, Pisces, and Ginger when they are knocked out, and also points out to Virgo that she didn't betray her even when she had the chance. The only time she turns against Virgo is towards the end of the Fixed route, and that's for a noble reason.]] |

| 97 | * CastFullOfGay: Several of them are lesbian. Taurus, Scorpio, Virgo and Pisces are prominent examples. |
| 98 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Mutable Zodiacs are green, Fixed Zodiacs are pink and red, and Cardinal Zodiacs are purple and blue. |
| 99 | * RedBaron: Each Zodiac has a title, though some of them are more silly than threatening. |
| 100 | ** Virgo, [[PureIsNotGood the Holy Queen]]. |
| 101 | ** Pisces, [[AllLovingHero the Redeemer]]. |
| 102 | ** Cancer, [[SinisterSurveillance the Beholder]]. |

| 119 | |
| 120 | * AmbitionIsEvil: Capricorn is a cardinal sign, and those are associated with ambition. However, she takes it too far, turning her realm into a rigid work environment and generally not caring about anything other than profit. |
| 121 | * AnimalMotifs: Goats. Almost all of the denizens in her realm are goats (or lambs) and the horns in her crown look like those of a goat's. |
| 122 | * BadBoss: Doesn't seem to care about the Manifesto's demands of better work conditions. |
| 123 | * CapitalismIsBad: The system within her realm is called "Capritalism" and is defined by overworking her employees and employing children, among other things, to the extent that a rebellion is taking place when Virgo arrives to take her crown. Capricorn herself is a cold-hearted woman motivated by greed, who Virgo calls out for only caring about her own daughter's life for logistical reasons. |
| 124 | %%* CorruptCorporateExecutive |
| 125 | * DishingOutDirt: Since Capricorn is an earth sign. |
| 126 | %%* EmotionlessGirl |
| 127 | * EyeScream: The lotus in her eye [[spoiler:was originally a parasite]]. |
| 128 | * FlowerMotifs: Has a lotus in her eye. [[spoiler: Which is revealed in the Cardinal Route to be a virus that was draining her health away day by day. [[AllLovingHero Pisces helped her remove the virus from the flower]], and to repay this act of kindness, [[PetTheDog Capricorn later informs Virgo and her friends to leave the Seametery Lighthouse before it's set on fire, helps Virgo defeat the viruses and subdue Pisces, and tells her how to acquire a cure]].]] |
| 129 | * {{Greed}}: Doesn't care about anything other than profit. |
| 130 | * GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:In the Cardinal Route, she joins Virgo in the fight against Pisces and the viruses, although her actions can't be controlled, only her timings can]]. |
| 131 | %%* IronLady |
| 132 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: She fights with a katana that has a ''[[EmpathicWeapon life of its own]]''. |
| 133 | * KimonoIsTraditional: Wears a purple one, befitting her nature as a cardinal sign. |
| 134 | * LadyOfWar: Capricorn fights rather gracefully, and she stays in the proper sitting position during the entire battle. Sure enough, she is often referred to as "Lady Capricorn". |
| 135 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/NOnobvC6VTM "The Time Keeper"]], a pretty rocking theme that makes the fight against her all the more awesome. Additionally, [[https://youtu.be/AracjWeCTt8 "Gateways"]] is played when Virgo is in her presence, and it sounds pretty imposing, fitting her serious, no-nonsense demeanor. |
| 136 | * AMotherToHerMen: Some of the [[{{Salaryman}} salarygoats]] admire her. Others... [[LaResistance not so much]]. |
| 137 | * NoSell: In the later half of the battle, the saboteurs are unable to deal damage to her with their cherry bombs. In contrast, she kills both of them in [[OneHitKill one hit]]. |
| 138 | * NotSoStoic: She is enraged by the idea of bowing down to the rulers once more. Also, after she is defeated, she expresses sadness. |
| 139 | --> '''Capricorn''': I feel sadness, Virgo, Queen of Purity. But this lotus [[UnableToCry dries my tears.]] |
| 140 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler: In the Cardinal Route, Capricorn will apologize for misjudging Virgo after discovering that she wasn't responsible for Deneb Algedi's murder. Furthermore, she also tells Virgo and everyone else that somebody intends to set the Seametery Lighthouse on fire so it is best to evacuate it, helps Virgo defeat the viruses and informs her of a method to cure Pisces. This is ''despite'' the fact that Virgo wrecked her company and took her crown.]] |
| 141 | * PreMortemOneLiner: Before she kills both of the saboteurs in a single attack: |
| 142 | --> '''Capricorn''': According to my agenda, you two don't have an appointment scheduled. |
| 143 | %%* PunchClockVillain: Not that it makes her more sympathetic. |
| 144 | * RedBaron: Capricorn, the Time Keeper. |
| 145 | %%* ScheduleFanatic |
| 146 | * StarterVillain: She is the first Zodiac that Virgo goes after. |
| 147 | * TheStoic: Usually calm, cool and collected. |
| 148 | * TimeLimitBoss: If Virgo doesn't defeat her in ten minutes, her meeting with Capricorn will end. |
| 149 | * TimeMaster: Capricorn lives up to her title by being able to strike faster than time, as well as being able to speed it up. She is also a TimeLimitBoss, as stated above. |
| 150 | %%* UnableToCry: Because of the lotus in her eye. |
| 151 | * WesternZodiac: Like the sign she personifies, she is cold, ambitious and hard-working. However, she's a [[AmbitionIsEvil villainous take]] [[BadBoss on the concept]]. In addition, she is a cardinal sign with earth powers who used to be ruled over by Saturn, and is associated with goats. |
| 152 | * WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler: While she's not an easy boss by any means, she's much stronger when she helps you fight against the corrupted Pisces and the viruses in the Cardinal Route. This is because the lotus in her eye had a virus in it that drained her energy, and by the time she fights by your side, Pisces has already removed this virus for her.]] |

| 182 | * ClingyJealousGirl: If you want to stay on her good side, don't get between her and Taurus. |
| 183 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first time she appears on screen, she is attacking a cow for sleeping instead of praying to Taurus. |
| 184 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Scorpio's goal in the Fixed Route. Scorpio sought to not only kill Pisces but force Virgo to revive the Golden Age while living without her beloved, who she went on her quest for.]] |

| 188 | * RecurringBoss: You are required to fight her once. However, [[spoiler:in the Fixed Route, she returns as the FinalBoss, so she is fought twice.]] |
| 189 | * RedBaron: Scorpio, the Phoenix. |

| 200 | |
| 201 | * AloofArcher: Sagittarius is an [[InvertedTrope inversion]]. Instead of being cold and distant, she is friendly and cheerful, [[BewareTheNiceOnes but no less effective]] [[BewareTheSillyOnes with her bow]]. |
| 202 | * AnimalMotifs: Horses, or to be more precise, [[MythicalMotifs centaurs]]. Some of the denizens of the Sagittrain are centaurs, and she's into Chiron, who is a centaur. She's also associated with moths, with her "hair wings" looking like a moth's antennae, the [[BuffySpeak flappy things over her sleeves]] looking like a moth's wings, and her other title being called "the Fire Moth". |
| 203 | * AnimeHair: There are ''wings'' on her hair. |
| 204 | %%* BadassAdorable |

| 208 | * GenkiGirl: Typically lighthearted. |
| 209 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/vwzEFE1SlfU "The Fire Moth"]]. |
| 210 | * NiceGirl: Sagittarius is nice, silly and generally likeable. She only fights with Virgo because she believes Virgo's objective is to bring back the rulers' strict government, and as she values freedom above all else, she cannot allow that. |
| 211 | * ThePhilosopher: It's her title, and though she is far from a typical portrayal of one, she often talks about friendship, destiny and freedom. |
| 212 | * PlayingWithFire: Which is reflected in one of her nicknames, the Fire Moth. It makes sense, since Sagittarius is a fire sign. |
| 213 | %%* PungeonMaster: [[LamePunReaction Much to Virgo's dismay]]. |
| 214 | * RecurringBoss: Sagittarius is the only Zodiac that can be fought twice in every route. |

| 216 | * SkippableBoss: It's possible to skip her first battle by simply not going into the pit that leads to the Thicket of Echoes in Taurus' Realm. |
| 217 | * WesternZodiac: Like the sign she represents, Sagittarius is wise and freedom-loving. In addition, she is a mutable sign belonging to the element of fire and associated with centaurs, and she even fights with a bow. |
| 218 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Tells this to Virgo after she is defeated at the Sagittrain, as she and Virgo used to associate, with Sagittarius even providing useful advice regarding Pisces, her sister. Virgo herself has trouble remembering when her relationship with Sagittarius fell apart. |

| 225 | |
| 226 | * AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: "Villain" is debatable, but her death is rather touching and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Virgo clearly feels bad about it]], even long after it happens.]] |
| 227 | * AnimalMotifs: Bulls. Not only are those who live at The Sacred Forest usually bulls or cows, but the horns in her head ressemble those of a bull's and her attacks include charging at Virgo. |
| 228 | * BerserkButton: Okay, "berserk" might be an exaggeration, but [[spoiler: if you choose to be merciful after defeating her, she'll be offended by how you hold no respect for the duel, and will call you a coward before fighting you again.]] |
| 229 | %%* BigEater |
| 230 | * DevotedToYou: Scorpio is head over heels for her. [[spoiler: Which is why if you choose to kill Taurus, she '''will''' retaliate.]] |
| 231 | * {{Dismotivation}}: She's so stubborn about leaving her realm as it is that you have to fight her to change her mind. |
| 232 | * DuelBoss: Virgo fights her alone. Algol and Spica fight [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Scorpio]] instead. |
| 233 | * FatalFlaw: [[spoiler: Her stubbornness, which she acknowledges shortly before her death.]] |
| 234 | * {{Hikikomori}}: Hasn't left the treehouse for a very long time. |
| 235 | * IdleRich: Despite being the ruler of The Sacred Forest, she prefers to sleep and eat over most other things, including doing anything for her realm. She makes no effort to change The Sacred Forest's harmful traditions of sacrifice and idolatry towards her, to the point that Virgo's intervention is necessary for any change at all to happen. |
| 236 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Her weapon is a ''bell.'' |
| 237 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: If you choose to take mercy on her after winning the fight against her, it'll lead to another battle, this time to the death. Killing Taurus results in her realm being destroyed too, since it is linked to her.]] |
| 238 | * LastWords: [[spoiler: "I shall close my eyes for one last dream"]]. |
| 239 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/8mskShXp1VQ "Sleepwalking"]], an energetic and cool remix of [[https://youtu.be/2ifqnlX0wOA "The Sacred Forest"]]. Furthermore, when Virgo is in her presence, [[https://youtu.be/-6UmpnIoPN0 "The Occult"]] plays, and like [[https://youtu.be/AracjWeCTt8 "Gateways"]] for Capricorn, it helps in making her more threatening. |
| 240 | * PreAssKickingOneLiner: "Let us dream together, Virgo!" [[spoiler: Also, [[TranquilFury "You hold no respect for our duel. I shall end this myself"]]]]. |
| 241 | * SerialRomeo: Possibly as a reference to Taurus being considered a sensual sign, she is defined by her relationship with Scorpio and is known to have a history with her priestess Aldebaran, the brightest star in the constellation of Taurus. |
| 242 | * {{Sleepyhead}}: Hence her title. There are few things she likes to do more than sleeping. |
| 243 | * SorryThatImDying: [[spoiler: As she dies, she apologizes to Scorpio for being unable to keep her promise.]] |

| 250 | |
| 251 | * AnimalMotifs: Rams. Aries has ram horns on their head and many of their people are rams. |
| 252 | %%* CoolShades |
| 253 | * TheDitz: Aries is the only Zodiac that [[HeldBackInSchool still hasn't finished Zodiac School]]. They mistake the word "cringe-worthy" for "syringe worm", don't know what "tone" means and are incapable of doing simple math calculations. Nevertheless, [[DumbMuscle "you don't have to be good at math to be good at punching"]]. |
| 254 | * DumbMuscle: In Virgo's own words, Aries is too idiotic to win a fight, despite being the toughest Zodiac. |
| 255 | * FinalBoss: [[spoiler:In the [[GoldenEnding Cardinal Route]]. They are against Virgo's plans of destroying the twelve Zodiac crowns because they want to keep the Krios Volcano, the source of their power, "nice and hot", while being unaware that, if they kept the sacrifices going, eventually the Krios would engulf the Vampire Hotel.]] |
| 256 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks: [[spoiler:Spent years training to beat Virgo, but was still unable to defeat her in combat. Justified, since they forgot to train their brain, and Virgo ''also'' trained a lot prior to the battle.]] |
| 257 | * HypocriticalHumor: Tends to call Virgo "dumb" and "moron", despite being the dumbest of the Zodiacs. |
| 258 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/MTs_kiNHjyQ "Red Hot Chili Aries"]]. |
| 259 | * LightningBruiser: Aries' attacks are extremely fast and deal enough damage to OneHitKill you. Additionally, they have over one thousand hearts. |
| 260 | * PlayingWithFire: Most of their attacks make use of this. Justified since Aries is a fire sign. |
| 261 | * TheRival: They're dedicated to defeating Virgo to the point of training for years to achieve that goal. Whenever they come across Virgo, [[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon they make odd threats]] and attempt to get in a fight with her. This is pretty one-sided, since Virgo considers them a mere insufferable child. |
| 262 | * ShoutOut: Their title is clearly a reference to the band Music/RedHotChiliPeppers. |
| 263 | * [[WorldsStrongestMan World's Strongest Person]]: They are the strongest Zodiac. |

| 270 | |
| 271 | * AliceAllusion: Some of her denizens are playing cards. She also wears a hat and invites Virgo to a tea party. |
| 272 | * AnimalMotifs: Crabs. There's a crab hand on her hat, she herself has a crab hand that she attacks with, there are crab arms all throughout her Realm, and one of her people is a crab. |
| 273 | * AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Attempted. Cancer's intention was to release Ginger for a price, but unfortunately for her Virgo was having none of it. |
| 274 | * AssholeVictim: She's manipulative, enslaves her denizens and the aliens that landed near her Realm, and has eyes that watch people everywhere. So it's hard to feel sorry for her if you choose to kill her, and it only ruins your Cardinal route; the other two routes are left unchanged. |
| 275 | * BigBrotherIsWatching: The reason behind her title. She monitors every Zodiac realm, including her own. The reason behind that is not known, though Virgo thinks she does it because she feels alone. |
| 276 | %%* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Maybe she was inspired by Capricorn. |
| 277 | %%* CreepyDoll: Very much so. |
| 278 | * ExtremeDoormat: Virgo thinks she is one, and at the very least she is this towards Capricorn. |
| 279 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Her socks are of a different color. |
| 280 | * HappinessIsMandatory: When you enter the Fortress of Dolls for the first time, you can answer a survey if you talk to a certain bear. The last question is "Are you happy living in the marvelous Fortress of Dolls?" with all of the answers being "Yes". Furthermore, a sign at the entrance says "Welcome to the Fortress of Dolls, where unhappiness doesn't exist". Might actually be GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul, since none of the denizens seem to dislike living in Cancer's realm. |
| 281 | %%* IJustWantToBeLoved: {{Implied|Trope}}. |
| 282 | * IndustrializedEvil: The Fortress of Dolls has no organic denizens. The dolls that live there are manipulated into [[IJustWantToBeLoved loving Cancer]] and [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul enjoying to live there]]. And if that wasn't enough, the Unbirthed aliens that crashed there are [[MadeASlave used as slaves at the chocolate factory]]. |
| 283 | * TheJailer: She actually has the legal authority to imprison others, though. |
| 284 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: You can kill her if you want, but you'll have to deal with [[ExtremelyProtectiveChild Altarf's]] [[AvengingTheVillain rage]].]] |
| 285 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/5UTcHqbNg-g "The Beholder"]], which fits her [[CreepyDoll theme]] pretty well. Also, [[https://youtu.be/RJy3_wpH4FY "Tea Time"]]. |
| 286 | * LonelyDollGirl: Unlike the other Zodiacs, she doesn't have any organic denizens, instead having artificially-created LivingToys, including dolls. |
| 287 | * LinkedListClueMethodology: Cancer enjoys mind games. She makes Virgo go all over her realm via the notes she left. |
| 288 | * ManipulativeBitch: The reason why unhappiness doesn't exist in the [[IndustrializedEvil Fortress of Dolls]]. Virgo even says she's taking her manipulative madness too far. |
| 289 | * AMotherToHerMen: Often referred to as "Mother". [[ManipulativeBitch Not that it means much]]. |
| 290 | * OjouRinglets: The blue curls on her hair go past her shoulders. |
| 291 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: That's what she ''thinks'' she's doing. |
| 292 | --> '''Cancer''': [[CruelMercy I will let you live, Virgo]]! But only for you to [[ForcedToWatch see your cookie die horribly by my own crab hand]]. [[SignatureLaugh Fufufufufu~~~]] |
| 293 | -->Just as you did to Capricorn, making her watch her own daughter die! You really are horrible, don't you think? [[VerbalTic Fufufufufu~~~]] |
| 294 | * PennyPinchingCrab: While Cancer isn't as greedy as Capricorn, she's a CorruptCorporateExecutive and BadBoss just like her. |
| 295 | * RedBaron: Cancer, the Beholder. |
| 296 | %%* RedEyesTakeWarning |
| 297 | * {{Revenge}}: Cancer wants to avenge Capricorn, so she takes away Ginger in retaliation for Deneb Algedi's murder, [[{{Misblamed}} regardless of whether it was Virgo or Algol who killed her]]. |
| 298 | * SignatureLaugh: "Fufufufufu~". |
| 299 | * SinisterSurveillance: She has eyes that watch people everywhere, even in other Realms. |
| 300 | * VerbalTic: Often finishes her sentences with her SignatureLaugh. |
| 301 | * {{Womanchild}}: Comes off as this. She is a CreepyDoll who likes to play mind games with people, her motivation is {{Revenge}}, her realm, where HappinessIsMandatory, is full of toys and has a chocolate factory, most of her people are dolls ([[IJustWantToBeLoved which she manipulates into loving her]]) and she invites Virgo to a tea party. |
| 302 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: She manipulates Ginger by pretending to be lost. |
| 303 | * YesMan: While we don't see her interact with Capricorn, it's suggested she is this towards her, as all of her profits go to Capricorn and the reason she invited Virgo to the Fortress of Dolls in the first place was so that she could avenge the murder of Capricorn's daughter Deneb Algedi. Virgo even calls it bootlicking in the TheReasonYouSuckSpeech she gives to Cancer. |

| 314 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/YfTzmgbyQO0 "Wind in Yer Sails"]] and [[https://youtu.be/iHsFtU4wQK4 "The Untied"]]. |
| 315 | * LovableRogue: Aquarius is against hierarchy. [[RebelLeader She's the leader of the Workers' Manifesto that opposes Capricorn]], and is also a thief ([[PirateGirl naturally]]). However, she forms an alliance with Virgo, giving her crown to her out of her own volition and helping her in her quest. Furthermore, she explicitly states she's against the murder of innocents, and is definitely not wrong to be taking action against [[BadBoss Capricorn]]. |

| 329 | * ActualPacifist: She stresses the importance of being diplomatic, since violence cannot solve everything. |
| 330 | %%* BlindJustice |
| 331 | * DisabilitySuperpower: Downplayed. Libra is blind but has an enhanced sense of hearing. |
| 332 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: Libra gives up her crown without a fight. She was never the strongest among the Zodiacs, so she knew she would die if she tried to fight Virgo, considering how strong she has become by the time the two meet in person. |
| 333 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/nh35fg7DU0Y "Apex Judge"]]. |
| 334 | * ToBeLawfulOrGood: Libra's statement that she's bound to the law, no matter whose law it is, suggests her answer to the dilemma is to remain lawful. |

| 342 | |
| 343 | * AnimalMotifs: Lions. Her hair brings to mind the mane of a lion, she is referred to as the "lioness" sometimes, and her people are lions. |
| 344 | * FlunkyBoss: Leo fights along two [[{{Pun}} Cleopawtra]] enemies who are able to heal her hearts. Defeating them first just results in more showing up. |
| 345 | * GracefulLoser: She congratulates Virgo's efforts after she is defeated by her. |
| 346 | %%* ItsAllAboutMe |
| 347 | %%* KingOfBeasts: Though only in her own realm. |
| 348 | * LargeHam: Exclaims some of her sentences, frequently does the NoblewomansLaugh, and speaks in an incredibly dramatic, grandiose manner. |
| 349 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/CQmpXqGuyhs "Tzardom of the Sun".]] |
| 350 | * {{Narcissist}}: Considers herself to be the greatest world wonder of all time, and believes her servants will never leave her since they love her so much (though the last one is probably true). |
| 351 | -->'''Leo''': ''”And now, for the highlight of the show! Me!”'' |
| 352 | * NoblewomansLaugh: Implied, with the way her laugh is written, as well as the fact that she's haughty and stuck-up to match. She also does the pose in her dialogue portrait. |
| 353 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Leo thinks Virgo is a mere insect she can crush in the blink of an eye. She's wrong, and ends up losing her crown because of it. |

| 360 | |
| 361 | * ArtificialLimbs: Gemini has a robotic arm. According to {{Word of God}}, Virgo is responsible for lopping off her original arm during a fight when they were children. |
| 362 | %%* BadassLongcoat: A green one that seems a bit too big for her shoulders. |
| 363 | * BigBad: [[spoiler: {{Downplayed|Trope}} in that she isn't directly responsible for every conflict in the game and her motivations make her more of an AntiVillain, however the fact that nothing would be happening if the galaxy wasn't in a time loop makes her this by association. Freezing the galaxy in a time loop to give herself and the other Indexers time to find a way to revive the galaxy has resulted in everyone reliving painful experiences over and over again, albeit without knowing as their memories are reset each time. Upon Mercury revealing to Virgo the truth near the end of the Mutable Route (and having her eat his heart so she can see it for herself to be immune to Gemini's memory manipulation), she gets rather aggressive. She makes the Save Dinosaur kill himself by jumping in the Krios's lava when he tries to warn Virgo of Gemini's plot to kill her and reset everything, she blocks Virgo's access to the Menu when approaching her, and before fighting Virgo she shuts down the battle UI causing the player to fight her almost blind.]] |
| 364 | **[[spoiler:In the 2023 extra update playing as Gemini, it's revealed that giving Virgo her crown and hinting to her about forging the Golden Age Crown in the Fixed Route was a plan to distract Virgo from interfering with the Indexers finding a solution to the Black Sun. Given Virgo's unstable mindset in this route, (caused by killing Taurus plus unintentionally as a result of Taurus's life being linked to her realm, the sacred forest, and Pisces's death), Virgo's willingness to sacrifice Ginger (albeit reluctantly), and with Algol and Spica commenting on Virgo's abnormal bloodlust and disregard for her companions, and Gemini being able to manipulate memories, it's possible that Gemini may be partially responsible for this. In said memory, she outright refers to her and the Indexers' plans as "our scheming", so she is implied to be aware that what she is doing is morally ambiguous.]] |
| 365 | * BigLittleSister: Is Virgo's younger sister and a whole head taller than her at 180cm. |
| 366 | * CharacterNarrator: Introduces the player to Virgo, and provides commentary at other points in the story. |
| 367 | ** LemonyNarrator: Responsible for all the amusing flavor text in the game. |
| 368 | * {{Doppelganger}}: It’s in her RedBaron. Unlike most other Zodiacs, the reason for her title is unknown. |
| 369 | * ExhaustedEyebags: Downplayed, but looking closely at her portrait reveals potential dark circles under her eyes. [[spoiler: Considering she's been working hard for an unknown (even to her) number of cycles to find a solution to the Black Sun and revive the galaxy, it's not surprising she's tired.]] |
| 370 | * FaceFramedInShadow: Her eyes are always obscured by a shadow. |
| 371 | * FinalBoss: [[spoiler: In the [[BittersweetEnding Mutable Route]].]] |
| 372 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://youtu.be/ToVOdmARI20 "The Cycle"]] [[spoiler: and [[https://youtu.be/VqEZJYvZ7W4 "The Doppelganger"]], which plays when you fight her at the end of the Mutable Route.]] |
| 373 | * MadScientist: [[LampshadeHanging She's even referred to as one.]] She's a more stoic example, though. |
| 374 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: Pollux sees a resemblence between Virgo and Gemini. Both are somewhat temperamental and believe that they can change and save the world through otherwise dubious means (for Virgo, reviving the Golden Age through a bloody holy quest, [[spoiler: or Gemini, it's saving the universe from the Black Sun via resetting the cycle countless times with little to no change)]]. |
| 375 | * {{Troll}}: "Mockery? Never heard of it". |
| 376 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Gemini and the Indexers collaborating with Capricorn to trap the universe in a cycle to find a solution to revive it from being consumed by the Black Sun is not a bad thing. The only issue is that the cycle has been repeated so many times, witnessing the deaths of everyone over and over again, only for nothing to change. Mercury and Virgo believe that Gemini is only delaying the inevitable, death.]] |
