One of the ten playable schools in Blue Archive. A religious school in Kivotos, Trinity advocates harmony as well as striking a balance between the pen and the sword, running counter to Gehenna's unbridled chaos.

Before its foundation, Trinity was originally composed of multiple factions fighting each other in a nigh unending war until the First Ecumenical Council, with the factions Pater, Filius and Sanctus at its core as well as others such as the Justina Council of Saints and the Knights Hospitaller, merged into an alliance to unite and lead Trinity. Today, Trinity is considered one of the largest and wealthiest schools all of Kivotos, and as a result, its district constantly finds itself harassed by delinquents and criminals.

Trinity gives grace to these tropes:

Always Lawful Good: Zigzagged. Main Story's Volume 1 introduces Nagisa, one of Trinity's model leaders, who acts polite on the surface but only helps Abydos rescue Hoshino in exchange for a future favor from Sensei; this is a hint that Trinity is not so pure as they might portray themselves as, not helped by its inter-faction rivalry or what happens in Volume 3 (for example, Azusa having to rescue a girl from some bullies in school, Mika plotting to stop the Eden Treaty, and the student body harassing her for said plotting in Chapter 4 afterwards). At the very least, there are students like Suzumi and Hifumi who do play the trope straight.
Brits Love Tea: With the school's British themes, it's only fitting that students from this school love their tea time. Even their own student council is called the "Tea Party".
Celestial Paragons and Archangels: Their overall motif, down to their looks and strict government.
Church Militant: Their students are mostly Proper Ladies, certainly, but they have the Justice Task Force, the Vigilante Crew, the Remedial Knights, the Tea Party, and the Sisterhood that all but embodies said trope.
Gratuitous Latin: Part of what the Make-Up Work Club studies for their tests in Vol. 3 includes studying an ancient language (which we know as Latin in real life). Their three factions—Pater, Filius and Sanctus—are also named after the Trinitarian formula, "In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti"^meaning.
Our Angels Are Different: Their Unusual Haloes aside since every student in Kivotos has one, Trinity's students are modeled after this trope.
- Some of them are Winged Humanoids (e.g. Hasumi, Mika and Nagisa) or have wings on their head (like Suzumi and Koharu).
- Barring exceptions like the black-and-red-uniformed Justice Task Force, most students have a bright color palette and haloes (emblematic shapes included as bonus) that are usually associated with divinity, best embodied by the Tea Party's pure white uniforms.
The Rival:
- To Gehenna as a whole, being the Order at odds with their Chaos.
- During Volume 3, they also serve as a Foil to Arius: Trinity wants peace while Arius wants war; Trinity rallies behind Sensei, Arius rallies behind Beatrice; Trinity's students are fairly normal, Arius's have the bearing of hardened killers.

Tea Party

Due to most of their tropes being observed as early as Volume 3 Chapter 1, spoilers for the Tea Party are unmarked!

L - R: Nagisa, Mika, Seia

The three hosts as well as the student council of Trinity General School.

They are the central characters of all of Volume 3: Eden Treaty due to them being involved in events of the volume as well as their character development as the chapter progresses.

Associated Tropes

Absurdly Powerful Student Council: Every Student Council of every academy counts in some way, but the trio stand out for having 1) a Genius Bruiser who's got even bigger Super-Strength than most students in Kivotos, 2) a politician who's managed to get information (albeit exaggerated) on nearly everything in the city, even of a gang a friend of hers was apparently a part of that was only founded very recently, and 3) one with outright Clairvoyance.
Action Politician: All three count as heads of factions embroiled in politics, and aren't afraid to go out on the field and fight in their own ways.
Childhood Friends: Mika and Nagisa, hence their close relationship despite everything the former tried to do to the latter.
Nice Mean And In Between: Mika, Nagisa, and Seia; Mika is not concerned with politics and is considerate of other in her ditzy way, Nagisa is a politician with all the cloak-and-dagger it entails, and Seia is neutral, if apathetic to most matters and serves as a balance between the two.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Zigzagged. The students in their factions are constantly vying for political power, made clear in the chaos of V3C3 where each one tries to wrestle for control over Trinity. In contrast, all three factions heads are friends who get together for tea parties. It's only when Mika plots with Arius that she becomes antagonistic towards her fellow members in the start of Volume 3 (Seia was comatose as a result of her plotting), though by Chapter 4 of the volume, they're back to being friends.
Walking Spoiler: Every single one of these girls only get most of their details and secrets revealed alongside major spoilers that span the entirety of Volume 3, hence their section being unmarked of spoilers.

Misono Mika

Fufu, that's right. I told you earlier, Sensei, but I'm pretty strong.

Age: 17

Hobbies: Talking, Collecting Accessories

Illustrator: YutokaMizu

Voiced by: Nao Tōyama

0% Approval Rating: Once Mika's treachery, assassination attempts on Seia and Nagisa and cooperation with Arius is revealed, she very quickly becomes public enemy number one at Trinity, with regular protests and calls by student groups to have her punished severely or outright expelled. In V3C4, during a chat with Sensei, Mika herself reveals that students regularly throw bombs into her cell out of anger at her betrayal of Trinity.
Actress Allusion: This isn't the first time Nao Tōyama has voiced a cutesy, bubbly, somewhat airheaded pink-haired girl who ties her hair up in a side bun. Accentuated when fellow Tea Party member Nagisa's VA was revealed.
Affably Evil: She continues to be polite and act a little ditzy, even after being revealed as The Mole who has been feeding information, weapons and supplies to Arius Branch and planning to dispose of the Make-Up Work Club and Sensei.
The Alleged Boss: With the lack of patience she has for politics, it's easy to forget she's a major part of Trinity's government and the head of Pater, yet rarely ever wields that political power besides one instance where she forged transfer papers for Azusa. Then again, being in cahoots with Arius wouldn't have sat well with her faction, and having the power of a small army in one body enables her to act independently. This is taken to its ultimate conclusion after her pardoning where she's stripped of her position.
The Atoner: At the end of V3C4, Mika tries to atone for colluding with Arius, such as performing a Last Stand against the Justina Saints to buy time for Sensei and Arius Squad to rescue Atsuko, making amends with Nagisa, and trying to be a better friend to Seia.
Because You Were Nice to Me: In V3C3, Mika is subjected to heavy bullying and harassment after she's imprisoned for her treachery, with Koharu being the only student willing to stand up for her. Later, in Volume F, Mika returns the favor by going to Koharu's aid when she's trapped by the Chroma's forces.
Big Bad Friend: Is this to Nagisa and Seia, being The Mole for Arius in Trinity who planned Seia's, and later Nagisa's, assassinations by the Arius Squad in an attempt to take leadership over Trinity and push them to war with Gehenna.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She's far nastier than she first appears, with her ditzy and cutesy exterior concealing a seething hatred of Gehenna and an utter abhorrence of the Eden Treaty, which drives Mika to attempt a coup against her fellow Tea Party members, re-unite with Arius Branch and drive both schools to war with Gehenna Academy in an attempt to wipe them out completely.
Critical Hit Class: Mika has a skill that gives her guaranteed critical hits. This even surpasses the usual limit of 80%. Combined with students who buff everyone else's critical damage, her damage potential could skyrocket.
Cute Bruiser: When Mika calls herself pretty strong, she's not kidding. Not just as a gunslinger: she's repeatedly shown to be absurdly tough on a physical level, even by Kivotos standards. It gets to the point where she breaks out of a cell by smashing through the wall with her bare hands, completely freaking out the guards in the process. This also holds in-game in that with right buffs, in the urban warfare where her terrain affinity is D (terrible), she could surpass the damage given by Kazusa, whose urban affinity is SS.
Despair Event Horizon:
- Crosses it in Volume 3, Chapter 4 after Seia collapses in front of her during a private chat, with the resulting barrage of hatred from Trinity's student body, believing that Mika was responsible for Seia's sudden ill health, taking a huge toll on her fragile mental state. Mika eventually concludes that she's never going to get a second chance, that she'll be forever labelled a villain and be thrown out of Trinity.
- Crosses it yet again a while later after she's beaten by the Arius Squad and Sensei, breaking down completely and crying while insisting that she's got nowhere left to go and nothing left after everything she's done, believing that she's inevitably getting expelled and will never be able to see anyone she cares about again while being ignored by Sensei, who she believes won't want to put up with someone like her.
  Mika: I don't have a place to call home anymore... not Trinity... not anywhere. I'm the traitor to Trinity, everyone's enemy... the itch who hurt Seia-chan time and time again... Once I'm thrown out of school, I'll never be able to see Nagi-chan, or anyone dear to me ever again. Once I'm no longer a student... even you, Sensei, will never bother to meet with a troublemaker like me again. That's the happiest future I'm going to get. I know that. After all, I... I'm a villain... a murderer...
Disc-One Final Boss: Even after her attempt at The Coup over Trinity is foiled by the end of Volume 3, Chapter 2, there's still the Arius Squad and their school, the Arius Satellite School, to deal with.
The Ditz: She's prone to ramble on and on or try and interject into conversations without realizing how others might be getting exasperated by her constant chit-chat, to the point that Nagisa breaks character and threatens to stuff a sweet roll in her mouth just to get her to stop interrupting during a meeting with Sensei at the start of Volume 3.
Does Not Like Spam: Seemingly not a fan of cake rolls. During her time in jail, Mika's letter to Nagisa asks for something to eat other than cake rolls (among other requests for her things); Nagisa responds by making sure she eats 'nothing' but cake rolls after that. When Nagisa's passive healing ability is triggered on Mika, the normal cake roll icon is replaced with an animation of Mika being force-fed a cake roll.
Dynamic Entry: Mika has announced her presence on more than one occasion by breaking down literal walls between her and her objective. She's even strong enough to do it bare-handed. She became infamous for this when she once broke out of her jail cell this way.
Even Evil Has Standards: She's willing to betray her childhood friend Nagisa to overthrow her as the leader of the Tea Party, but Mika is adamant that she'll not kill Nagisa, instead keeping her locked up in a cage to make sure she can't interfere. She's also shown to be haunted by her part in the assassination of Seia, and later admits that despite how much she hated Seia for annoying Mika with the things she said, she never wanted her dead.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She calls Nagisa foolish and naive for trying to join hands with Gehenna via the Eden Treaty in her explanation for her coup attempt to the Make-Up Work Club and Sensei, insisting that Gehenna cannot be reasoned with and will only try to backstab Trinity later on. The idea that Nagisa is trying to prevent this by extending an olive branch to and fostering co-operation with Gehenna via the Eden Treaty never occurs to her.
Exact Words: During a secret meeting with Sensei at the end of Volume 3, Chapter 1 and the start of Chapter 2, she reveals that she was the one who falsified Azusa's documents to get her transferred to Trinity, explaining it as part of her plan to try and re-unite Trinity and Arius by proving an Arius student can get along with and be accepted by Trinity's own. While this is technically true, it's leaving out the fact that she wants to re-unite them by force via performing The Coup on Trinity and then going on to launch a joint war against Gehenna Academy.
Evil All Along: Early on in Volume 3, Mika comes off as a rather harmless ditz, especially in comparison to Nagisa's scheming, distrust and increasingly heavy-handed efforts to impede the Make-Up Work Club's efforts to get them expelled. Even the reveal that she falsified Azusa's documents to get her into Trinity from Arius is framed sympathetically, with Mika insisting that she's just trying to re-unite the two schools by showing that an Arius student can be accepted by Trinity... then it turns out that she's behind the assassination of Seia, has been actively aiding the Arius Branch, and her 'reunion plan' involves deposing Nagisa to seize the Tea Party for herself, forcibly re-merging the two schools, ripping up the Eden Treaty and going to war with Gehenna Academy out of hatred for them, and suddenly it's made clear that Mika is FAR worse than Nagisa ever was.
Face–Heel Turn: Another Me reveals that she had one prior to the start of Volume 3, since she was once a genuine idealist whose plan was for Azusa to serve as a "Symbol Of Peace" that could reunite Trinity and Arius by proving that an Arius student could fit in with and be accepted by Trinity. However, after Nagisa decided to bury the hatchet with Gehenna and push for signing the Eden Treaty with them, this plan turned into a cover for a coup as Mika abandoned her previous ideals and succumbed to her anger at Gehenna, becoming the lying backstabber and Arius collaborator she is when the story starts.
Faux Affably Evil: She is a student who hates the Gehenna demon race in reality and is willing to start a war between Trinity and Gehenna if succeeded. The only people she is actually nice to are Nagisa, Seia, and Sensei.
Go Out with a Smile: Almost happens in Beloved. Beaten down by the remaining Justina Saints after stalling them as long as she could and faced with their leader Barbara preparing to kill her, Mika simply hopes that Sensei and the Arius Squad managed to achieve their goal, then smiles, closes her eyes and waits for the end. Fortunately, Sensei comes barrelling in to save her at the last second.
Heel–Face Turn: V3C4 finally sees Mika make one for real in Kyrie For Courageous Girls, opting to stay behind and Hold the Line against Beatrice's Justina Saint Mooks, led by Elite Mook Barbara, to buy Sensei and the Arius Squad time to defeat Beatrice and rescue Atsuko. She even sends them off with a prayer for their victory and turns on a gramophone playing a "hymn of mercy" before heading into the fight.
Hold the Line: Pulls this on the Justina Saint Guardians near the climax of V3C4, battling them all on her own to stop them reinforcing Beatrice when she summons them, so that Sensei and the Arius Squad can have a fighting chance at beating her.
I Am a Monster: Throughout V3C4, especially after her chain gets yanked and her mental health takes a sharp downturn, Mika continually refers to herself as a "witch" and succumbs to pessimism, believing that she's done far too many terrible things to earn a happy ending.
If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: This is why she spares Saori after beating her in a Duel to the Death in Chapter 4. Mika recognises that just how similar she and Saori are, with both of them secretly praying for mercy and salvation despite thinking they won't get it and don't deserve it. As far as Mika's concerned, her killing Saori and deciding her 'ending' for her only dooms her to a similar fate.
Mika: Because if I pull this trigger and decide your ending for you...I would only be proving that there's no salvation for me, either...
I Just Want to Be Loved: V3C4's episode Another Me reveals that, deep down and despite all her rhetoric on how irredeemable she is, Mika really does want to have a second chance and find her own happy ending, even admitting that she admires fairy tales where the princess is saved and gets to have a Rescue Romance with her saviour. It's just that she doesn't feel like a "witch" like her is going to get a chance like that.
Irrational Hatred: When she says she hates Gehenna, that's all she says on the matter, no reason or rhyme to it despite her genuinely sweet behavior. Given that many Trinity students also share the same hatred, this doesn't seem like just an impulse unique to her.
I've Come Too Far: States this to Sensei in Chapter 4 when she insists on attacking the Arius Squad despite them pleading with her to stop and listen. After all, she's already a "bad girl" who's refused to listen to and even betrayed Sensei before... so a betrayal or two more won't hurt, right?
Mika: ...sorry, Sensei, but I was always a bad girl who didn't listen like she was supposed to, right? After all, I've already betrayed you how many times now? One or two more times won't change anything.
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When she reloads her gun, she sometimes looks at you and smiles.
Light Is Not Good: Dressed primarily in a white outfit, befitting a member of the Tea Party, while eventually turning out to be a spiteful backstabber who would rather cooperate with Trinity's Renegade Splinter Faction Arius Branch to annihilate Gehenna in all out war than stomach the possibility of Trinity making peace with them via the Eden Treaty.
The Mole: She turns out to be the traitor to Trinity that Nagisa has been searching for, having struck an alliance with the Arius Squad and provided them weapons and supplies for the purpose of taking out Nagisa and Seia, seizing control of Trinity and discarding the Eden Treaty in favour of all-out war with Gehenna.
Motive Rant: Gives one after revealing her presence among the Arius invaders near the climax of Chapter 2, explaining that she despises Gehenna far too much to let the Eden Treaty go through, preferring to take control of Trinity, re-unite with Arius, and use their combined might to crush Gehenna in all-out war instead.
Mythical Motifs: Her name and motif are based on the Archangel Michael. Her Birthday, May 8th is feast of the Apparition of Saint Michael. Her weapon name, "Quis ut Deus", is a phrase heavily associated with Michael. And just like how Michael is considered a warrior among the Archangels, Mika is shown consistently to be the most physically powerful among the Tea Party members.
Oh, Crap!: Mika's generally quite carefree and relaxed, but there have been two major moments where she's lost her composure:
- Seia collapsing in front of her, thanks to Beatrice's interference with her latest dream walk, midway through V3C4 had her freaking out and screaming for help.
- Seeing and hearing Sensei yelling for Mika to stop her attack on the Arius Squad, followed by accompanying them into the catacombs, had the previously enraged and vengeful Mika stuttering and stammering, trying to comprehend seeing Sensei working with their former enemies.
The Power of Hate: She's not someone you'd expect to get angry, given what she's typically like, but Mika proves capable of frightening levels of rage and hatred a couple of times in the story:
- She despises Gehenna Academy so much that she completely opposes Nagisa's attempts to make peace with them via the Eden Treaty, to the point of plotting The Coup against her fellow Tea Party members and allying with Trinity's Renegade Splinter Faction Arius Branch to sabotage the treaty and then launch Trinity into an all-out war of extermination against Gehenna.
  Mika: It's because... I hate Gehenna. I really, really, from the bottom of my heart... hate Gehenna.
- She comes to despise the Arius Squad, and their leader Saori in particular, so much, blaming her for stealing away everything Mika cares about, that she promptly breaks out of the prison she'd been held in and immediately sets about hunting them down to give Saori the same pain she put Mika through with her manipulations.
Princess Classic: As conniving, antagonistic and violent as she gets in Volume 3, she is genuinely innocent and sociable in personality, or at least used to be before the Eden Treaty came about and sparked her hatred for Gehenna—being a princess what she dreamt of being, the kind in a fairy tale where she gets rescued by a prince. She thought she wouldn't be one after all the crimes she committed, until Sensei actually rescues her from her Last Stand in V3C4. Since then, it's all but said that Sensei is that 'prince' to her now.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Mika's Sanity Slippage in V3C4 Episode 8 starts with her blaming herself for Seia's ill health, the threats to Trinity, and Sensei being injured and hunted by the Arius Squad, then quickly shifts to her blaming Saori for recruiting and using her against her friends and Sensei. Lamenting how unfair it is that she's stuck in a cell while Saori roams free, Mika breaks out and heads off to 'steal' Saori's friends from her, much like how Saori tried to steal Mika's friends from her. She confronts the Arius Squad in person at the end of Episode 10.
Mika: ...hah. It's all so simple when you think about it. Joumae Saori of Arius Squad... she was the one... she's the root of all evil.
Sanity Slippage: Experiences this very rapidly near the climax of Chapter 4's first part, starting when Seia collapses in front of her thanks to Beatrice's interference and continuing as the various guards and students hurl abuse at her, calling her "witch" and blaming her for Seia's sudden ill health. She quickly begins to believe their insults and starts considering herself a horrid 'witch' after all, discarding any notion of redeeming herself and rebuilding the bridges she's burnt with Nagisa and Seia.
The Scapegoat: Attempted in V3C4, by Mika herself no less. She resolves to not attend her scheduled hearing, hoping that by getting herself expelled she can lessen the strain and political pressure on Seia and Nagisa that she fears would result from her staying at Trinity, especially since Nagisa is fighting so hard for her to stay and openly advocating for her despite her prior actions.
Self-Serving Memory: A strange example of the memory alteration being negative. The episode Another Me in V3C4 reveals that Mika's desire to re-unite Arius and Trinity was once entirely genuine, with it only turning into a cover for The Coup after Nagisa began pushing for the Eden Treaty again. As the traumas from everything she was doing began piling up, Mika blocked out this memory and went on believing that she'd always intended for Azusa to be The Mole, rather than a "Symbol of Peace" between Trinity and Arius that she'd originally hoped for her to be.
Sheltered Aristocrat: In keeping with her "innocent princess" theme, her Relationship Stories revolve around this problem; after getting released on parole, part of her punishment includes being divested of her finances, so she has to perform lots of manual labor and keep whatever Sensei gives her as replacement for school material precious, though she'd likely have done so regardless of the situation. She's uncomfortable with all this either way, not helped by the bullying she continues to suffer.
Ship Tease: After the events of V3C4, Mika develops a bit of an obsession with Sensei, often wanting to get involved in events if it means she can meet Sensei again.
- The sub-event Misono Mika's Secret Diary shows entries of her life after prison. Entry D-2, "A Boring Day", has her zone out in class, daydreaming about Sensei when she a cloud outside that reminded her of them. Then the D-Day entry (titled "My Sensei") has her gush over their get-together that sounds more like date:
  First we went to that dessert cafe I found and talked about... well everything! Then we went shopping together, and Sensei bought me FLOWERS! [...] Ah! I can't believe it's not illegal to be this happy! Good thing it's not, because I've already spent enough time in the clink, and I plan on being with Sensei forever!
- After repeated past episodes of Sensei giving her the cold shoulder to ensure she isn't dependent on them, her Relationship Lobby has her trick Sensei into coming to her dormitory right as her curfew is beginning, forcing Sensei to stay for the night lest they and Mika get into trouble with the supervisor. Sensei isn't happy, but Mika is clearly glad she went through with this plan.
Walking Spoiler: It's very difficult to discuss Mika in depth without revealing that she's allied with the Arius Satellite School, was previously involved in the attack on Seia and currently working towards unseating Nagisa, seizing sole control of Trinity and going to war with Gehenna. And that's not even getting into what happens in V3C4.
Womanchild: It's a wonder how she got to become head of Pater, although she has at least demonstrated awareness of Trinity's political climate. Still, she's constantly flouting manners expected of a student president, she doesn't hesitate to speak her mind, she dreamed of being a fairytale princess and is rather Spoiled Sweet by her position. Her diary in Misono Mika's Secret Diary also shows she writes things rather childishly like starting with "Dear Diary" and writing important thoughts in pink, and an entry about her going to class has her get bored by it.
Yank the Dog's Chain: Midway through V3C4, it looks as if things are finally looking up for Mika; Sensei's gotten her to agree to attend the hearing that will determine whether or not she stays in Trinity, where Nagisa plans to advocate for her as hard as possible, and Seia has agreed to a one-to-one chat with her, realizing that she owes Mika a real-world apology, which will go a long way towards easing her tormented conscience. A few moments later, Beatrice steps in and abducts Seia mid-dream walk, causing her real world body's health to decline sharply and ensuring that Mika, the only one in the room with Seia at the time and public enemy number one at Trinity, takes the full brunt of the blame. The ensuring barrage of inner guilt and fierce condemnation from the student body sends Mika's sanity tumbling off a cliff and sets her on the path of vengeance against Saori and the Arius Squad.
You Shall Not Pass!: Kyrie for Courageous Girls has her pull this on an army of Justina Saint Guardians, standing in their path so that they can't pursue Sensei or the Arius Squad. Though she gets badly battered and nearly dies for her troubles, it ultimately works and Sensei manages to return in time to save her. In gameplay, that scene is incorporated into her EX Skill animation.

Kirifuji Nagisa

Illustrator: Fame (design), DoReMi (artwork)

Voiced by: Saori Hayami

Actress Allusion: The outwardly cool and calculated clubmate of a pink-haired bubbly ditz voiced by Nao Tōyama? That's not the first time Saori Hayami has been there.
Ambition Is Evil: Mika worries that the Eden Treaty that Nagisa is leading is not so much a peace treaty between Trinity and Gehenna than it is a military alliance. In that case, Nagisa would be contravening the principles of Trinity to grab power in Kivotos. Then this gets subverted later on; both The Reveal of The Mole's identity and their Motive Rant, plus Hina's explanation that no one member of the Trinity or Gehenna councils could possibly command the full might of both academies thanks to the joint-council rule the treaty would impose, makes clear that this was simply a lie by Mika to get Sensei to distrust Nagisa further.
The Atoner: Becomes this in Chapters 3 and 4 of Volume 3 once Mika's treachery is revealed and her coup attempt is foiled, trying to keep the Make-Up Work Club out of the Realpolitik between the Sisterhood, Tea Party and Knights Hospitalier as penance for pressuring them so much beforehand and even trying to get them expelled.
Beware the Nice Ones: Despite her temperate and ladylike behavior, she has quite the fiery personality when pushed to the brink. She broke character in front of Sensei by angrily threatening to shove an entire Swiss roll down Mika's throat, who at the time was repeatedly interjecting in their conversation.
The Chains of Commanding: Despite being The Paranoiac who may or may not be engineering a power grab, Mika emphasizes Nagisa is doing this in response to Kivotos's current situation: she's struggling to contain multiple threats inside and outside her school, while the General Student Council is in a state of disarray. Becoming a new superpower in Kivotos is the sanest choice in her eyes.
Didn't See That Coming: She's caught wholly off guard by the reveal that Mika was The Mole for Arius Branch, having never suspected that her old friend would even be capable of betraying Trinity or her the way she did.
Dissonant Serenity: Her EX Skill has her sipping tea as usual... all to a whole artillery battery firing behind her and rain shells on the target.
Faux Affably Evil: In V3C1, even as she tells Sensei to their face how she designed the Make-Up Work Club as a trash can for potential moles, she's still the straight face of politeness she's ever been since her introduction.
Force Feeding: Nagisa's passive ability heals the most injured striker, and comes in the form of a cake roll. When Nagisa and Mika share the same team, the normal cake roll icon when Nagisa's passive is activated is replaced with an animation of Mika getting a full-size cake roll shoved down her throat.
Good All Along: Throughout the first and second chapters of the Trinity Arc, Nagisa comes off as increasingly shady, distrusting and even threatening towards the Make-Up Work Club, especially when she responds to Sensei's refusal to help her root out the club student she believes is the spy in favour of helping the whole club pass their make-up exams by pointing out just how many unexpected challenges the club can face, a threat she eventually makes good on by switching the location of the second test and then flat-out posting guards around the third test's location to stop the club from taking it and force them to fail. It only gets worse for her when Mika confides to Sensei her worries that Nagisa will try and use the Eden Treaty to control Gehenna and Trinity's combined security forces against her enemies, perceived or otherwise. Eventually, it turns out that Nagisa wants no such thing, merely desiring peace and cooperation with Gehenna to help secure the school against all the threats it's facing. Once Arius' invasion and assassination attempt against her is foiled and The Mole has been detained, plus a chat with Sensei, Nagisa realises just how unreasonably far she went and immediately works to make up for it, keeping the Make-Up Work Club out of any future plans involving the Eden Treaty, not wanting to pressure them any more than she already has, and resolving to mend bridges with Hifumi.
Gossip Evolution: Her information network is quite impressive, managing to pinpoint major powers that don't advertise themselves in every major academy, but the nature of unreliable grapevines and her paranoia often distorts her information. Cherino, for example, is a bratty president who tyrannizes students but its all mostly Played for Laughs, whereas Nagisa seriously names her as "the tyrant from Red Winter" and flags her as a possible culprit who bombed Seia amongst many other academies. She also heard about the Masked Swimsuit Gang and even discovered Hifumi's involvement with them, but she has it in her head that Hifumi has dangerous connections to criminal elements even though said 'gang' does no such thing, leading to Nagisa shunting her into the Make-Up Work Club in the first place.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: V3C4 reveals that Mika originally DID want to reunite Trinity and Arius, with Azusa meant to be a "Symbol of Peace" between the two schools. However, Nagisa's decision to push for the Eden Treaty's signing led to Mika changing her mind and opting for The Coup instead, hating Gehenna far too much to want to ally with them.
The Paranoiac: Volume 3 begins because Nagisa is convinced there is a spy planning to ruin the Eden Treaty, hence she creates the Make-Up Work Club so she can put anyone she suspects, or any other political threat, in one place and threaten them with expulsion.
Properly Paranoid: Nagisa is notoriously cautious, especially when it comes to securing the success of the Eden Treaty to the point where she starts singling out Trinity students she believes are traitors. However, it turns out that she's completely right; there is a traitor within Trinity who wants to sabotage the Eden Treaty. It's just not someone she was expecting.
Right for the Wrong Reasons: She thinks there's a spy in Trinity. While not a "spy" per say, Azusa does come from Arius, Trinity's ancient enemy, and transferred in with fake documents, meaning she technically has infiltrated the academy, which also puts Mika in hot water as she arranged for it in the hopes that Azusa could help reconcile the two factions until Nagisa started her witch hunt.
Running Gag: As her default sprite always shows her sitting next to a table having tea, there's occasional jabs from other characters at her staying constantly seated and always drinking tea, even bringing along her entire tea set, expensive chair included.
- Two shots in the 1st Anniversary's 3rd PV show Nagisa in her signature chair and drinking from her usual teacup.
- After Trinity's attack on Arius's school district, Mika complains about her Tea Party friends' habits, one of them being Nagisa bringing along her teacup like she's doing now. Nagisa meekly replies it comforts her.
- During the Final Volume when Rin calls for a gathering of the academies, while everyone else in the room sits in chairs provided in the meeting room, Nagisa's chair is the only one that's different and clearly her personal chair.
Tea Is Classy: Her central theme.
- Her base sprite is of her sitting down in a posh chair, a teacup in hand and a table of sweets at her side. This is also shown in her EX Skill animation, calmly sipping tea as artillery roars behind her.
- Her Relationship Stories are mostly based around having tea parties with Sensei. Gets Played for Laughs in the first episode where she gets equal parts horrified and uncomfortable with drinking bottled black tea Sensei brings, and again in her Recollection Lobby where she accidentally ordered ''konbucha'' (dried kelp) instead of ''kombucha'' (a type of black tea), so to save face in front of Sensei, she pretends it's still black tea, all while agonizing internally at the flavor of kelp flooding her mouth—and then Sensei reveals they already knew it's kelp, which prompts an embarrassed Nagisa to attempt forced memory erasure.
Took a Level in Kindness: She was far more insidious in the first two chapters of Volume 3, having masterminded the Make-Up Work Club's expulsion and not caring for even her friend, Hifumi, as long as it'll take out the traitor. It's only after the events of Chapter 2—Hanako playing on her worst fears by having her club pretend to be all traitors, giving a (fake) message from Hifumi about their friendship being false all along, and her best friend Mika revealing herself as the traitor—does she reconsider how needlessly awful she acted against the Make-Up Work Club and the other clubs involved, going so far as to apologize them in person afterwards.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her decision to push for the Eden Treaty was what turned Mika's once-genuine attempt at reuniting Trinity and Arius (by transferring Azusa to Trinity and having her live among them as a "Symbol of Peace") into a cover plot for her coup attempt against Nagisa and Seia to prevent Trinity and Gehenna's alliance, with her becoming a Mole in Charge for Arius and supporting their efforts, by proxy leading to all the tragedy faced in the Trinity Arc.
What's In It For Me?: When Sensei asked her for help in rescuing Hoshino during V1C2, which came in the form of artillery fire, Nagisa makes it clear she expects a favor in return. This favor was later granted in V3C1: to form a club for students failing in grades known as the "Make-Up Work Club" as its advisor, skipping any legal procedures needed by taking advantage of SCHALE's authority. The favor sounds ordinary at first until her reveal of its true function to corral possible traitors to Trinity.

Blessed with Suck: She considers her powers as a seer as this, as she constantly has nightmares about what she believes is Kivotos' inevitable destruction, and her seeming inability to change it leads her to become despondent and pessimistic. In addition, Kuzunoha reveals that seer powers are an avenue for the Chroma to infect people. When Kuzunoha offers to take away Seia's powers, she accepts without hesitation.
Brought Down to Normal: As a consequence of the Deal with the Devil Seia made with Kuzunoha to escape Beatrice's trap, she loses the ability to perceive the future via her dreams. That said, she doesn't seem too upset about it in the epilogue, preferring instead to focus on the present and remaining confident that cooperation and trust can overcome any obstacles she and the rest of Trinity might face in the future. Then it gets subverted as the Final Volume reveals it to be a case of Discard and Draw; while she did lose her ability to perceive the future via her dreams, she gained vastly enhanced senses that allows her to sense what's going on in her surroundings even without having to see anything as a form of compensation.
Nagisa: "Seia here has lost her foresight you see... But it seems that she gained new powers in it's stead."
Deal with the Devil: Volume 3, Chapter 4's climax has her making one with someone from Hyakkiyako to escape from the dream Beatrice trapped her in, allowing her to wake up and direct Trinity's forces to Arius to rescue Sensei and Mika. The price for this freedom seemed to be her seer abilities, as the epilogue of Chapter 4 has her mention that she no longer receives prophetic dreams anymore.
Delicate and Sickly: Even after waking up from her coma and returning to Trinity proper in Volume 3, Chapter 4, she's rather frail in constitution and has trouble staying awake and distinguishing reality from dreams. She gets MUCH worse barely a few episodes after the start when Beatrice manages to trap her in the dream she walks into, causing her to collapse mid-conversation. Dialogue from the Hospitallers tending to her reveal that her injuries have escalated to the point that she's suffering from internal bleeding.
Discard and Draw: As a tradeoff for being able to leave her daydream, she had to give up her future sight. In exchange, however, she has gained a keen sense in its place that gives her the ability to deal with more immediate dangers.
Dreaming of Things to Come: How her seer powers work, allowing Seia to perceive the future via her dreams. However, considering her attitude when it comes to the truly nasty things she's seen, like an oncoming apocalypse, it's potentially a rather suck-y gift to have.
Dream Spying: Accidentally does this in Vol. 3 Chp. 4, wandering into and overseeing a meeting between members of Gematria. Unfortunately, her extended observation gets her noticed by Beatrice, who later traps Seia the next time she nods off, leaving her real body to collapse with quite severe internal injuries and inadvertently sending Mika off the deep end while Seia frantically attempts to warn Sensei that Beatrice will be coming for them.
The Fatalist: When Sensei initially meets and speaks with Seia, she's very adamant that the Bad Future she's foreseen via her dreams cannot be changed and will come to pass no matter what, resigning herself to watching it all play out. She changes her mind later on, however, thanks to encouragement from Sensei, resolving to try and fight to change the bad fates her dreams predict.
Incurable Cough of Death: She starts coughing with increasing severity before she passes out in V3C4, as a result of somehow being caught and imprisoned in the Arius Basilica by Beatrice while dream walking. She's last seen being taken away by Trinity medical teams, with mentions of her suffering severe internal injuries.
Morality Chain: Chapters 3 and 4 of Volume 3 have her becoming this to Mika, with the repentant girl secretly desperate to be forgiven by her and thinking that Seia despises her. When Seia's health takes a drastic turn for the worse thanks to Beatrice imprisoning her in a dream, Mika quickly falls prey to Sanity Slippage and falls over the Despair Event Horizon.
Neutral No Longer: She's revealed to have resigned herself to the role of passive observer, helplessly watching the catastrophes she's foreseen play out with no idea how to or belief that they can be averted. However, witnessing Sensei's resolve to keep pushing forward, even through the worst of times, gradually changes her mind. By the time she reawakens near the end of V3C3, Seia is committed to fighting to avert any Bad Future she foresees with her powers.
Not Quite Dead: It's eventually revealed that Seia survived the assassination attempt on her life thanks to Mine's intervention, with her eventually meeting with Sensei for several chats via her Dream Walker abilities before waking up and returning to Trinity proper.
Oh, Crap!: Freaks out once she realizes that Beatrice intends to kill Sensei while she, the only person who knows what she's planning for them, is imprisoned in the Arius Basilica in a dream, frantically yelling warnings and eventually devolving into helplessly screaming for Sensei.
Posthumous Character: It's revealed in Volume 3, Chapter 3 that Seia isn't "recovering from illness"—someone unknown has actually destroyed her halo and killed her. Subverted later on, however, with The Reveal that Knights Captain Mine saved her and spirited her away to rest and recover, she reawakens near the end of Chapter 3 and re-joins the Tea Party.
Mythical Motifs: Is based on the Archangel Gabriel. Just as Gabriel is the archangel most associated with prophets, Seia has the ability of precognition that allow her to see the future through dreams. She is also referred to as "Archangel of Prophecy" by Beatrice during their confrontation in the Arius Basilica in V3C4.
Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: After the failed assassination attempt against her, Seia was put under the protective custody of the Knights and the Sisterhood who falsely reported to the Tea Party that she was dead in order to throw the assassin off her trail.
Say My Name: After getting trapped by Beatrice, and knowing that she plans to take out Sensei, Seia is reduced to frantically screaming for Sensei, trying desperately to warn them about Beatrice's plans.
Seers: It's revealed that Seia can foresee the future via dreams, and appears several times to Sensei in Volume 3, Chapter 3 to warn them of the apocalyptic future she's foreseen for Kivotos. These abilities turn out to be why Mika and the Arius Branch targeted her prior to the story, fearing that she would foresee their attempted coup against the Tea Party and marshal Trinity's forces against them.
Took a Level in Idealism: In sharp contrast to her previous attitude as The Fatalist, by the time the epilogue of Volume 3, Chapter 4 rolls around, Seia has become notably more hopeful and optimistic, to the point that she's not all that torn up about losing her seer powers, confident that Trinity can face the oncoming storms and other challenges together with proper cooperation.
Walking Spoiler: Even moreso than Mika, it's very difficult to discuss anything about Seia without spoiling the latest story content.

Arms and Armor Theme Naming: "Ken" in her surname as well as her given name "Tsurugi" both mean "sword" in Japanese.
Beautiful All Along: Despite her usual deranged expressions and near unintelligable screeching, when her guard drops she's actually a soft-spoken and nervous girl with a beautiful face. This aspect gets played up more with her Swimsuit variation, which also follows it up with a Fanservice Pack by showing the figure she has under her uniform.
The Berserker: Extremely volatile and belligerent by nature, she will attack anything she finds disagreeable with great zeal.
The Cavalry: Part of the Trinity force that invades Arius in Our Future, to rescue Sensei and Mika before they're caught or killed by the Arius students.
The Dreaded: She is infamous both inside and outside of Trinity for her ferocity as a fighter, not to mention her terrifying appearance when in the heat of battle. Following a rescue mission, the rescued students in question actually developed PTSD after witnessing Tsurugi in action.
Foil: To Hasumi. Tsurugi is volatile, prone to random fits of laughter, screaming, or other peculiar noises (even texting said fits of laughter now and then in her chat feed with Sensei), her hair is a mess, her uniform shows off nothing save for a few splatterings of blood, her wings are almost entirely devoid of feathers, and focuses entirely on close-quarters action.
Game Face: When Tsurugi goes full combat-mode, her face goes from anywhere between Slasher Smile to a full on Nightmare Face with red eyes and a Maniac Tongue
Guns Akimbo: Dual lever-action shotguns, 'Blood and Gunpowder,' combined with Tsurugi's piercing damage type, make her an absolute terror in combat.
Hidden Depths: Tsurugi can be very introspective- her Memorial Lobby unlocks after she expresses her worries about "wasting her youth" to Sensei, and one of the reasons she wholeheatedly jumps into the Summer Sky Wishlist event is to experience "youth" at the beach.
Made of Iron: During the Arius ambush of the Eden Treaty signing, Tsurugi is repeatedly ambushed by the renegade Justina Saints and Arius attack squads, before staying behind with Hasumi to buy Hina time to evacuate a wounded Sensei, taking severe damage in the process. None of these injuries slow her down too much, and all it takes is a short rest in hospital before Tsurugi's up and ready for action again, despite the medical staff insisting she should rest further. During her Relationship Story she stands back up without issue just seconds after she was hit by a train.
One-Woman Army: During Chapter 2 of Volume F, the team going after Croma!Chesed decides to have Tsurugi handle its hordes of robotic armies by herself. She ends up soloing (without any support whatsoever) three teams in the mission layout, totaling nearly one hundred enemies.
Ship Tease: Tsurugi's Relationship Story wastes zero time in making it clear she has a massive crush on Sensei, culminating in her blushing and sweating furiously while nervously shaking hard enough to visibly move the table when Sensei treats her to dinner.
Slasher Smile: Her usual expression when in the middle of a fight, scaring criminals and innocents alike.
There Was a Door: She plows right through a brick wall once when receiving word of the Gourmet Society getting up to their usual antics at an aquarium.
The Unintelligible: Once she's in combat, Tsurugi tends to scream out gibberish or cackle maniacally over talking normally.
The Un-Smile: Tsurugi has a very hard time trying to smile normally, as Sensei discovered when trying to help her take a photo for her School ID.

Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Hasumi maintains a calm presence, even when in the middle of a heated firefight... unless thinking about her weight.
Armor-Piercing Attack: Hasumi's normal attack is damaging enough, but her special skill multiplies the lethality tenfold for a single strike.
Berserk Button: Any mention of Gehenna Academy and/or the Prefect Team is enough to send the normally calm and collected Hasumi flying into a seething rage.
Big Eater: Despite her obsession with her weight and figure, Hasumi has a massive Sweet Tooth, and can wolf down desserts without second thought.
Boob-Based Gag: Hasumi’s bust size is played for comedy on several occasions, particularly when she’s trying to don her gym uniform.
Buxom Beauty Standard: She'd rank as one of the bustiest students to any viewer, and this get attention quite a few times in-story.
- During a diplomatic visit to Pandemonium, Makoto gets intimidated by Hasumi's size—that is, her bust.
- In her Track version's first Relationship Story, she tries to zip up her jacket but fails because her chest is in the way. All the while, Sensei is distracted by her chest standing out so much.
The Cavalry: Part of the Trinity force that invades Arius in Our Future, to rescue Sensei and Mika before they're caught or killed by the Arius students.
Cold Sniper: She uses a sniper rifle, and is capable of performing extremely reckless actions with absolute calm.
D-Cup Distress: She holds some mild complaints about her bust as she feels it adds to her Weight Woe problems, as well as causing some minor stiffness in her shoulders.. Then her Track version's Recollection Lobby hammers the problem further when she can't zip her jacket up because her huge bust is in the way.
Foil: To Tsurugi. Hasumi is calm, collected, well-groomed, has no qualms with showing some skin and part of her underwear, and serves in a marksman role.
Huge Schoolgirl: Until the introduction of Tsukuyo she was by far the tallest playable student, and even then she's only beaten out by a single centimeter.
Hypercompetent Sidekick: Is the Vice President of the Justice Task Force, but is frequently the one who does most of the paperwork and administrating as the President Tsurugi is... Tsurugi. It's to the point that a delinquent and then Haruna in Get Set, Go! mistake her for the club's president.
Ms. Fanservice: Just in case her massive chest and the visible lingerie under her uniform weren’t enough, her relationship stories usually end in situations that emphasize just how attractive she is.
Starter Mon: One of the first four characters you recruit for free.
Weight Woe: Worries that she weighs too much, made apparent in a loading screen 1koma where it shows her with a weight scale with the meme caption, "No fear? One fear."
- One Relationship Story has her consult with the Sensei about her weight and wondering why she it keeps increasing. The consultation takes place in a café, where Hasumi obliviously orders lots of sweet treats until Sensei points this out, leading to her becoming conscious and embarrassed over missing the obvious.
- Her Track version's EX Skill animation has her wanting to eat some stall food when a thought bubble of a weight scale appears, making her balk and run away. This also happens in Get Set, Go! where she tries to deny herself food and gets angry seeing the Gourmet Research Society enjoy themselves.

For Great Justice: Mashiro is interested in justice, period. All her skills have the word in their names, and her own sniper rifle is named "Manifestation of Justice".
Small Girl, Big Gun: Her small frame heavily contrasts with her far longer Anzio Ironworks 20mm anti-materiel rifle.
The Stoic: Her expressions aren't as dramatic compared to her co-workers in the JTF, though there are a few times when she gets passionate about things like getting into a sniping competition with Azusa during Summer Sky's Wishlist.

Voiced by: Tomomi-Jiena Sumi

Assist Character: Her EX Skill summons a pair of JTF students who spray an entire AOE area with indiscriminate gunfire.
Beware the Nice Ones: During the Trip-Trap-Train event, poor Ichika tries to be calm and gentle in the extremely complicated and annoying situation. But she finally snaps at The Climax and knocks everyone out on the train with a laugh. Later on, she reveals to Sensei that is her real nature.
Cosmic Plaything: She tries to present herself as a Mellow Fellow, although nearly every appearance she has makes her suddenly handle an escalating problem. This rears its ugly head in Trip-Trap-Train where a single mistake of stowing away an important relic in the wrong train snowballs into her having to work with a high-profile Gehenna terrorist who keeps needling her, then fighting unreasonably angry train staff, wild delinquents and criminals, and the Prefect Team coming over after hearing the problem. For the cherry on top, Sensei bears witness to the whole fiasco and her shame. This all leads to her cathartic beatdown of every student there, mission and professionalism be damned... though the world has one last laugh with the train derailed by Kasumi's club members since she wasn't awake to stop them.
Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Her Relationship Stories build up to this reveal in her fourth episode, where she confesses to wanting to find her true calling since she effortlessly picks up skills as quickly as she abandons them, whereas people around her find contentment with their own. She had hoped to get an answer from Sensei, but instead of telling her their answer—that getting a balloon from a tree for a child like it's natural, showing she's already passionate about her work as a JTF member—they tell her that she doesn't need to force herself searching and be honest with her desires first. Though confused, she is content with the advice and starts following it by hanging out with Sensei at an amusement park.
Early-Bird Cameo: First appeared in V3C2 Episode 5 where she is only talked via dialogue and not even appearing before her actual appearance in V3C4 Episode 26.
Eyes Always Shut: She opens her eyes several times, though she usually closes them.
The Gift: Her Relationship Stories show she is talented at a great many fields that in her second episode, she played a guitar so well it's hard to believe it's actually her first time. This is also a source of anxiety for her since it leads to her easily dropping whatever she dabbles in and envious of those who can put passion into whatever they love, such that she currently searches for anything she can give her all to.
Ichika: Being decent at everything I try is nice and all, but what good is that if I can't figure out what I truly love? I'll never be great at anything.
Hair-Trigger Temper: Trip-Trap-Train's second-to-last episode reveals that this is her true personality trait, which she puts in a great deal of effort trying to hide from her classmates and Sensei. She gets ashamed at this side of her being revealed to Sensei, though they assure her that she's admirable for putting in effort to reign in her anger.
Malicious Misnaming: She visibly chafes whenever Kasumi mockingly calls her "Cutie Pie".
"Not So Different" Remark: In Trip-Trap-Train, Kasumi pins Ichika that underneath her façade of ordinariness, she's someone who'd fit in Gehenna. Nothing about the easygoing, constantly flustered Ichika would indicate such until her pent-up anger finally blows up during the standoff, making her gun down every fighting student on the train and putting off the relic breaking for her future self to solve.
Oh, Crap!: Ichika visibly has this expression when she realizes she stowed the Trinity relic on the wrong train. Even worse, that train turns out to be headed to Gehenna, meaning it's filled with Gehenna students and delinquents.
One-Man Army: Like the other senior Justice Task Force members, Ichika is no slouch in combat and is perfectly capable of taking out dozens of enemies by herself, including heavy hitters like Kasumi and Iori.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In the rare times Ichika actually opens her eyes, it's usually because she's been taken off guard by a compliment she wasn't expecting, or because she's finally snapped and lost her temper.
Rage Breaking Point: At the climax of Trip-Trap-Train, Ichika finally loses her cool and takes out every student on the train as a way to let out her pent up frustration and anger. She then admits to Sensei that this is her true nature, as she puts up a facade of calmness to try to hold back her Hair-Trigger Temper.
"Shaggy Dog" Story: At the end of Trip-Trap-Train, she reluctantly hands over the destroyed Trinity relic to Nagisa, expecting to be reprimanded despite all the efforts she went through to protect it. Instead, Nagisa simply compliments her for a job well done and clarifies that the Tea Party only needed the relic to be delivered. She doesn't mind whatever condition it's in because Trinity has access to skilled artisans who can restore it anyways.
Surrounded by Idiots: It's clear she is feeling this during Trip-Trap-Train, having to simultaneously deal with the hostile Highlander Train Academy staff, the various delinquent passengers, Kasumi's antics, and Iori's stiff, hardline personality.
Verbal Tic: She would often add "-ssu" on some words in almost all of her lines.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: All of the events of Trip-Trap-Train occur because Ichika accidentally stowed a Trinity relic on the wrong train.

Trinity's Vigilante Crew

Associated Tropes

Group-Identifying Feature: The Vigilantes all wear a shield-like badge; Suzumi has one pinned to her left shoulder, while Reisa's is on her jacket's right breast.
Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Suzumi explains as much about the Vigilantes' inner workings in the After-School Sweets Story event; unlike all the other clubs in Trinity, the members only share a mutual desire to protect their school and are not a formal organization, so they tend to act individually unless there's cases that need their combined attention like Suzumi and Reisa acting together in V3C3.
Vigilante Militia: Practically in their name. They're reputed for patrolling Trinity's district, defeating ne'er-do-wells and protecting the peace.

Consummate Professional: She takes her role as a protector very seriously, even to the point where she attacks other students she perceives as potential threats to Sensei while accompanying them for a simple walk.
Cool and Unusual Punishment: She is known for apprehending delinquents and subjecting them to hours of popular but highly annoying songs.
Hidden Depths: Due to her stoic personality and her burning desire to enforce justice, she is often written off as cold and cruel. In reality, she's just a normal girl who loves cute things.
In-Series Nickname: "Running Flash Grenade of Trinity".
No Social Skills: Because she spends the majority of her time patrolling Trinity and fighting crime, Suzumi doesn't actually have much time to hang out or make friends which makes it difficult for her to connect to others on a personal level.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Reisa's red.
Stargazing Scene: Her Recollection Lobby is about this, where the episode you get this in has her taking Sensei to a Ferris wheel talking about liking and wanting to see stars.
Starter Mon: She's one of the first Strikers given to you at the start of the game alongside Yuuka.
Vigilante Woman: As a member of the Vigilante Crew, Suzumi quietly defends fellow Trinity students from a variety of threats, ranging from local gangsters to troops from rival schools.
Weapon-Based Characterization: Suzumi actually isn't seen using her gun very often, instead using flashbangs as her preferred method of subduing criminals. This highlights her self-discipline as a protector and dispenser of justice over using violence.

Ascended Meme: In Episode 14 of Vol. F Chp. 2, she avoids some unknown guardians' attack and boasts "However! I avoided it in the blank of an eye!" This move and line are based on a fan-made emote used by Korean fans.
Big Ego, Hidden Depths: To say the least, she's not at all shy about the bombastic actions she does as a (self-perceived) crimefighter and often radiates energy outside of that. That said, she's got quite the pensive side.
- In After-School Sweets Story when she's rendered unconscious, after overhearing Kazusa rant over their hero-villain rivalry being only in her head, she suddenly wakes up quietly, then apologizes to Kazusa and promises not to bother her again.
- This trait is also pronounced in her bond stories like when she gets nervous over whether she has to work to keep staying on the good side of her classmates, and feeling insecure when she realized that Sensei has already been to some places they're hanging out at, making her wonder if they're bored.
Chuunibyou: She's got shades of this with her styling herself as a crimefighting hero, especially when she keeps decrying Kazusa as the legendary delinquent "Cath Palug", and later the After-School Sweets Club as the legend's new gang on the block.
A Day in the Limelight: She makes a cameo during Volume 3, Chapter 3 before being fully introduced in After-School Sweets Story.
Hot-Blooded: Even before becoming a high schooler, Reisa was always picking fights with infamous delinquents in the name of justice. This habit only becomes more pronounced once she joins Trinity's Vigilante Crew.
Jack of All Trades: Her skill kit allows her to do a lot of various tasks in gameplay: AOE damage for clearing large amount of enemies, debuff removal from self, self-heal, DEF down application, taunting (CC effect), while being durable enough to work as a tank. All listed capabilities have quite weaker performance than those who are more dedicated to any of those roles, but she is capable of doing all of them nonetheless, so she can be useful everywhere where any of those needed.
Leeroy Jenkins: She has the tendency to rush into fights without a second thought.
No Social Skills: Reisa has no clue how to interact with people. She tends to miss social clues and be especially blunt about things. In fact, her stories with Sensei consist of learning social customs.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Suzumi's blue.
Unknown Rival: She considers herself a rival to Kazusa, her self-appointed nemesis. Kazusa, meanwhile, considers Reisa more of an annoyance.

Airi was the only one who knew anything about the school's politics, though being an ordinary student, she's justifiably in the dark about the events of the Eden Treaty and the aftermath.
Sweet Tooth: Their obvious main club activity. Everyone in the club enjoys sweets, although Airi stands out for exclusively liking chocolate mint-based sweets.

Crying Wolf: What she does to her club members during the club’s second sub story. When her first attempt to get them to visit a cave filled with maple syrup icicles fails since they’ve got other things to do, she calls for their help later, saying she’s lost in the cave; her fellow club members are aware this is just a ruse, but they end up indulging her anyway. An annoyed Yoshimi rants that this has happened before.
Hyperactive Metabolism: Her second skill, “Eat this and cheer up”, has her throw a slice of pie at an ally student, which then gets shared with the other students and boost their attack.
The Philosopher: Most prominent in her bond stories, where she goes at length over various topics that can be worldly in general and yet sometimes still tie back to being a Sweet Tooth.
Stone Wall: Zigzagged. She takes the Tank role in gameplay, but she's probably the worst in the class when it comes to raw damage tanking, instead bringing in support buffs for her teammates and the ability to remove her own status effects.

Edible Ammunition: Her EX Skill drops a giant blob of mint ice cream on top of enemies and slows them down.
The Everyman: Of her clubmates, she's the most passive when it comes to enjoying school life with her friends. After-School Sweets Story reveals that in Kazusa's past as a delinquent, she had seen her (or at least her silhouette) doing that, causing her to rethink on whether she's leading a fulfilling life and take to a normal student life.
Nice Girl: She's cheery, sweet, and always looking after her friends.
The Heart: She plays the role of the mediator who tries to calm and direct her friend. Meanwhile, if someone messes with her, the entire group can react quite violently as a pushy protestor and the rest of the mob in VFC1E4 finds out.
Trademark Favorite Food: Chocolate mint ice cream. It's even her Valentine's gift (a premium version she bought, she insists on making clear) to Sensei during the event.

Berserk Button: She is extremely embarrassed of her past as a rebellious delinquent nicknamed Cath Palug, and will go ballistic any time anyone mentions it. Natsu and Reisa can't help but do so anyway, much to Kazusa's chagrin.
Defector from Decadence: She used to be a street thug before she got tired of the lifestyle and decided to try being a normal student, instead.
The Dreaded: Kazusa used to be a rather infamous delinquent in the past, even earning the nickname "Cath Palug".
Former Teen Rebel: Kazusa was a legendary delinquent in middle school.
I Hate Past Me: She dislikes her past as a delinquent and does everything in her power to distance herself from it.
The Red Baron: She was once known as Cath Palug.
Meaningful Name: Her nickname of Cath Palug is a reference to a monstrous cat from Welsh legends, which matches with Kazusa's cat-like features.
Not So Above It All: It’s shown in her New Years greeting video and short series that she is surprising playful like her covering sensei’s eyes and asking guess who and her putting her hands on their cheeks to show how cold her hands are.

Remedial Knights

Associated Tropes

A Day in the Limelight: The club stars in The Cathedral's Merry Christmas ~Remedial Knights' Gift~ dispensing Christmas cheer to all... only for their captain to get into an angry misunderstanding over thugs having their chicken suddenly confiscated by the Justice Task Force.
No Historical Figures Were Harmed: The club's name in the Global version, "The Remedial Knights", is a mostly one-to-one translation of the JP version (救護騎士団). But having Combat Medics being knights makes it an obvious reference to The Knights Hospitallers, which is the name most JP-to-English fan translations prefer to use. Moreover, the flavor text for the Basis Scholar in the Trinity Plaza Area states that it's "An old and unused building named after the basis of student learning" and once housed the Remedial Knights; Hospitallers were known for being educated, though the latter part could be a reference to how the Hospitallers were once based in Rhodes and had to abandon it, or based in Malta before they lost it too but continue to exist as an organization.

Hobbies: Collecting medical supplies

Voiced by: Yui Horie

All-Loving Hero: She's very kind and polite, rarely holding grudges and always willing to help anyone who needs medical attention. Even during Trinity's invasion of Arius in Our Future in Vol.3 Chp. 4, Mine treats the Arius students less as enemies and more as lost souls in need of help and care.
The Cavalry: Part of the Trinity forces that invade the Arius district in Our Future to rescue Sensei and Mika.
Chekhov's Gunman: She's mentioned in passing a few times as having gone missing in the wake of Seia's assassination, before it turns out that Seia wasn't actually assassinated and Mine has been watching over her as she slumbered and recuperated, rejoining Trinity and the Knights Hospitalier proper once she awakens.
Combat Medic: Mine is famous (and infamous) for her tendency to personally step in and stop conflicts through violence rather than just stick to healing people after the fact. Where her comrades are standard healer supports, she's a frontline fighter whose only healing ability is a self-heal. In short, she's a Remedial Knight with major emphasis on the "knight" part.
Destructive Savior: Due to Mine's singleminded focus on helping others, her attempts to assist other people typically end with significant property damage, such as punching through a wall to reach a trapped puppy or destroying a truck to shield a child.
Fatal Flaw: Impulsiveness and Stubbornness. As detailed under Hot-Blooded, Mine is very quick to act when she feels that wrongdoing is being committed, while being reluctant to back down until she's restored order, leading to a lot of negative opinions about her in Trinity and beyond. The Cathedral's Merry Christmas shows just how bad it can get, with Mine causing a lot of problems when she hears a couple of delinquents' story about the Justice Task Force taking away their chicken for their own use and immediately leaps to the conclusion that the JTF are in the wrong. This leads to her angrily confronting and outright attacking several of their members including Tsurugi while ranting about how disappointed she is and how far they've fallen, all while not letting them explain themselves. Once they get the chance to, the JTF reveal that they confiscated the chicken in question because it was illegally spicy, with even the delinquents themselves gloating about how easily Mine fell for their story.
Hero with Bad Publicity: Despite her devotion, she has a bad reputation among the Trinity students for her radical behavior, bordering on Knight Templar.
- In V3C3, "Aggravated Confusion Part 1", Hanae and Serina try to break up a crowd of Trinity students stopping a Gehenna-marked ambulance driven by Sena, carrying the comatose Sensei. Though the crowd is antagonistic towards everything Gehenna, it turns out the Remedial Knights—or rather, Mine—don't have such a great reputation either.
  Serina: Captain Mine would be so disappointed in this situation if she were here!
  Trinity Student: The captain of the Remedial Knights...? You mean the same Mine that destroys everything and has her knights pick up the pieces?! That's who you're threatening us with?!
- Her first Relationship Story has her going on a "relief patrol" with Sensei, where they help any people they meet in distress out. So far, Mine smashes a wall to save an injured cat (which angers the landlord), stops a speeding truck from hitting a child (and destroying said truck's front), saves a cat stuck in a tree, gets upset over citizens not getting half-off lunches, intervenes in a gang fight because of one gang caught in the crossfire... By the end, Sensei questions the "relief" part of all this.
Hot-Blooded: She's certainly passionate about her work as a Remedial Knight, moreso when she speaks about it, and is not one to forgive wrongdoing in any form. One example happens in V3C4, "An Awkward Tea Party", where Mine makes her distrust of Sakurako and the Sisterhood clear, not helped by Sakurako slyly pointing this out, and jumps to the conclusion that Nagisa interrogated Azusa for information on Arius before Nagisa properly explained that Azusa volunteered it herself.
The Leader: Of the Remedial Knights, demonstrating it proper when Trinity invade Arius in Vol.3, Chp. 4.
Let's You and Him Fight: In The Cathedral's Merry Christmas event, Mine winds up battling the Justice Task Force several times while trying to take them to task for perceived wrongdoing.
Poor Communication Kills: A LOT of problems could have been solved and unnecessary fights avoided had Mine simply been willing to let the Justice Task Force properly explain themselves when she confronts them over confiscated chicken in The Cathedral's Merry Christmas, rather than reading them the riot act and attacking them pretty much on sight.
Shield Bash: Her EX Skill makes her smash her shield to the ground and damages enemies, which decrease defense and evasion. Even her victory pose has her pinning her shield into the ground.
Simpleminded Wisdom: Moments like these don't come often, but she is aware that bringing remediation doesn't always mean delivering it through the end of a barrel and does reflect on whatever mistakes she made. A crowning example of this is that during the rerun's new story of Schale's Happy Valentine Patrol, she had been doling out Knight work in her usual violent, overly passionate way, so it's startling to see her approach Wakamo calmly (after barreling past her traps) and ask why was she causing chaos—after hearing she only wanted to confess to Sensei, Mine let her go in the spirit of Valentine's, though she swears to go after her once its over for the trouble caused. And she was the only person to do something many might have considered simple (perhaps not to a chaotic criminal, to be fair).
Status Infliction Attack: Her EX skill reduces Evasion and Defense of all enemies in a circular area around her upon landing. Her Basic skill reduces them further 10 seconds later.
Unwitting Pawn: She's played like a fool by a couple of delinquents in the 2022 Christmas Event, who spin her a sob story about the Justice Task force stealing a chicken they had prepared while leaving out a few important details, leading Mine to immediately go after the JTF just like they hoped she would.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: While her actions tend to be extreme, they are the result of Mine's genuine desire to help others.

Genki Girl: Quite so when she speaks and acts. This is part of what endears her to her patients in the Remedial Knights' Group Story.
Hospital Hottie: Compared to the modest Serina, Hanae is exuberantly colorful in appearance, dressed in a Sailor Fuku that accentuates her bust and a short-skirt-and-stocking combo. Her shoes even look to have slight wedge heels to them.
Loved by All: Her club's Group Story shows that she is popular at the hospital she works at because of how caring she is, having every patient there wanting her to fawn over them.
Ms. Fanservice: No matter her variant, be it the original, her Christmas or her cheerleading uniforms, her curves are prominent in every outfit.
Nurse with Good Intentions: Undoubtedly good intentions, but her bond stories all reveal her... 'intense' ideas of nursing Sensei, such as distracting them to give them a shot (with all the air of a fatal stabbing) and sawing off a limb to prevent a bacterial infection.
Sexy Santa Dress: Though most of her Christmas variant's skin is covered up, her sweater, short skirt and white stockings emphasize her curves even more than her nurse uniform does.
Still Believes in Santa: The Cathedral's Merry Christmas event shows that she still believes in Santa, despite being 15.

Boring, but Practical: Serina is a 1-star, and her kit is basically a decent chunk of healing and that's it, and the most creative you can get with her is repositioning, which other characters are better at. She's just so good at what she does that you don't really need anything else, and is loved by both new players and experienced veterans alike.
The Medic: Very much so. In one of her Relationship Stories, she shows up in the middle of the night to make sure that Sensei is doing okay.
Nice Girl: Always upbeat and happy to help those in need, to the point of being beloved by the various children she's helped around Trinity's district.
Stalker with a Crush: It's heavily implied that Serina is secretly stalking Sensei to check up on their health, since in her bond stories, Serina always seems to turn up whenever Sensei isn't feeling well. In one case, she even shows up to treat Sensei in SCHALE HQ even though the building is locked down for the night, somehow evading all of the building's security measures.
- In her Valentine event relationship story, Serina sneaks into SCHALE in the middle of the night to leave a chocolate for Sensei, only to be found by Sensei before she can leave. She is implied to have entered the building by climbing through the window.
  Sensei: You can just use the front entrance on your way out. Please don't climb in through the window again.
- In The Clumsy Sister and the Magician of the Old Library, Serina already knows about Hinata and that she and Sensei are looking for holy tonic without being told anything. Hinata is naturally confused while Sensei simply expects it at this point.

Adventurer Archaeologist: Zigzagged; she is more than qualified to be an archaeologist, but she's hardly an adventurer (which makes it ironic when her Indoor Warfare is rated Terrible and yet Field Warfare is Excellent). Come In Search of Hidden Ruins, it's played straight when she's coerced to investigate island ruins for copying Sisterhood scriptures without authorization in The Old Library event.
Berserk Button: She becomes absolutely livid when old books get damaged or destroyed. In addition, as the president of the Library Committee, she has no tolerance for anybody who makes noise in the library.
A Day in the Limelight:
- Of her titular (the latter title to be exact) event, The Clumsy Sister and the Magician of the Old Library, where she has to repair old scriptures.
- Following up The Old Library, she pairs up with Hinata once more for the event In Search of Hidden Ruins ~Trinity Extracurriculars~ alongside Hanako and Koharu to help out in an archaeological expedition.
Discount Card: She's practically a walking Reduced Mana Cost. Her EX Skill, Ancient Texts Expert, slashes the cost of a single Striker student's EX by 50%, also lasting for two uses, allowing them to be used sooner than normal or chained with more EX Skills. For example, Aris' EX Skill normally costs 6 points; when discounted by Ui, the cost is only 3! It gets even better with upgrades that apply Reduced Mana Cost to Ui's own EX Skill too.
Hikikomori: While not shut in her room, Ui typically shuts herself in the Old Library and hardly ever leaves.
I Need a Freaking Drink: Ui in her swimsuit outfit involves this in her EX skill. Being thirsty while investigating the ruins, she takes out her cold Americano coffee to refresh herself.
Nerd Glasses: When working, she wears a pair of glasses in order to better read whatever's in front of her.
No Social Skills: It's not to Shrinking Violet levels since she can maintain proper conversations with people, but she mentions that she doesn't have much in the way of social relationships, acts awkward around Sensei and Hinata when they first meet, and still gets a bit nervous over whether she's treating Sensei right in her Relationship Stories.

Make-Up Work Club

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/supplementary_1.png

L - R: Hanako, Koharu, Azusa, Hifumi

Four girls gathered in a temporary club with the purpose of doing exams to ensure they will not get expelled from Trinity.

In reality, this is orchestrated by Nagisa in order to see which one of them interferes with Eden Treaty and expelling that student once she finds out.

They are the main focus club in the first three chapters of Main Scenario Volume 3: Eden Treaty.

Associated Tropes

A Day in the Limelight: They get shunt into Trinity's major conflicts for the first two chapters of Volume 3, eventually sharing the spotlight with numerous other major factions in the third given how wide in scope the Eden Treaty was. Only then does it get subverted by Chapter 4 in favor of the Arius Squad, which is justified by Nagisa and the other club heads wanting to keep the Work Club out of further troubles after how much they worked.
Fire-Forged Friends: The members of the Make-Up Work Club are distant from each other at the beginning of Volume 3, but the events that occur throughout it—from their simple beginning as a temporary club to the citywide incidents surrounding the Eden Treaty—knit their bonds.
Here We Go Again!: By the end of Volume 3 Chapter 3, the dust has settled enough for the club to officially disband after their last make-up exam went well... only for it to reform with the exact same students for the exact same reasons (sans Azusa, who has become less of a Military Brat and joined Hifumi in playing hooky). Sensei can't help but faint after finding out. Chapter 4 shows that this time it is purely their fault as unlike the last incident which led Nagisa to create the club in the first place, they've been kept out of current politics.
Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: While all the other clubs take on this trope to varying extents like any other club in Kivotos, they're at least united by members with a definite, shared interest who also have strong bonds with each other. This particular one stands out in Trinity by being a slapdash project by Nagisa, made up of a somewhat dirty-minded Tsundere, a newly transferred Military Brat, a (seeming) ditz who spews Double Entendres, and their contrastingly ordinary club leader.

Awesome, but Impractical: Her swimsuit alternate's EX Skill spawns a Crusader tank onto the battlefield. It is extremely powerful and eats damage for breakfast, but runs on a time limiter and, worse of all, requires the full 10 EX points to deploy. There's no way to lower it (as Ui can't affect Special students), and the other offensive minded Tactical Supporters are both significantly cheaper, with Iroha and Cherino (Hot Spring) taking up 6 points, which makes her not worth the investment in the eyes of many.
Badass Driver: With a Crusader I tank, affectionately nicknamed Crusader-chan/Crusadie, with which she dodges dozens of Justice Task Force members with when she attempts to "borrow" it for a trip to the beach. She not only ends up being the driver for the trip to the beach and back, but the 1st Anniversary PV shows she still gets to drive the tank around for carpooling.
Cerebus Call-Back: Her involvement in the Masked Swimsuit Gang mess is, when it happens, played entirely for comedy. But during Volume 3, it turns out that there are now rumors of her being in cahoots with a violent criminal organization, to the point that Nagisa considers her a dangerous element and is willing to get her expelled, hence her being drafted into the Make-Up Work Club.
Character Name Alias: In Volume 1 Chapter 1, She wears a Brown Bag Mask to rob a bank. During the job, Hoshino refers to her as "Faust".
Collector of the Strange: Of all things themed Peroro and Momo Friends. Also crosses into Crazy-Prepared; as her second Relationship Story shows, among the merchandise weighing down her Peroro bag are bandages, a cushion, and an umbrella, which she all keeps to ensure she can help others with whatever they need at any time.
Commonality Connection: Bonds with Azusa over their shared love for Peroro and friends merchandise.
Determinator: Proves this by the end of Volume 3, exemplified by the Heroism Motive Speech she makes at the end.
The Everyman:
- Hifumi worries over being this in one of her Relationship Stories, and given that she's the type to go along with other people's decisions such as getting pressganged into bank robbing with the Foreclosure Task Force and being effectively bossed around by Nagisa in Volume 3, she might be right. Even so, any Sensei who knows about her role in Main Story's Volume 3, her love of Momo Friends, and the quirky stuff she gets up to in the official promotions she's been in and so on, would have much reason to disagree.
- This YouTube comment succinctly explains her archetype:
  "As for Hifumi herself, I think she, as a character, really symbolizes what the game is about. Sure, she’s an ordinary girl, but that’s precisely why she plays such a big role. By being ordinary, she experiences the most of what we would consider as “youth”; spending time with friends, being carried along with the flow, making friends, and more. It’s difficult for me to explain since I’m not the best at expressing my thoughts, but Hifumi’s ordinariness is, in my opinion, one of the reasons she plays such a big role in conveying the original creators’ thoughts behind the game. We see all the girls demonstrating their youth through their Momotalks, but Hifumi is the one who really and most enthusiastically shouts (symbolically) YOUTH the entire time."
  —Kirbylittle on Vol. 3 Chp. 3 Ep. 19
Lampshade Hanging: Befitting her status as The Everyman, she has her moments.
- Hifumi utters this line during Make-Up Work Club's infiltration to Gehenna Academy at chapter 2 of volume 3 before they take their second reevaluation exam:
  Hifumi: We're only trying to take an exam! That's all! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!
- Yet again when they're about to take their third reevaluation exam:
  Hifumi: *sigh* Why do things always turn out like this for us...?
- This line from the Summer Sky's Wishlist event:
  Hifumi: I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, but summer vacation is supposed to be... Well, it's not supposed to be about doing missions, drinking weird juice, and getting attacked by beach bums over and over again. And when you think about it, it's probably only a matter of time before they attack us again.
- Another from the Summer Sky's Wishlist event:
  Hifumi: You're getting it wrong again, Azusa! We didn't come here to win battles...
Leitmotif: Is notably the only student in the whole game who has her own personal theme music, aptly named "Hifumi Daisuki", that really captures her purity and cheerfulness.
Morality Chain: She acts as an indirect one to Nagisa, since Nagisa has a very large soft spot for her. The Sensei pointing out that Nagisa's rampant paranoia fueling her mistreatment of the Make-Up Work Club risks alienating her friendship with Hifumi is a large factor in snapping Nagisa back to her senses.
Nice Girl: She's a kindhearted girl who is always trying to help her friends.
Only Sane Woman: Excluding her absolute love of all things Peroro, Hifumi is perhaps the most normal and levelheaded member of the Make-Up Work Club.
Sixth Ranger: In Volume 1 Chapter 1, Hifumi ends up joining the Foreclosure Task Force into robbing Kaiser Bank. Unlike the others who wear balaclava masks, Hifumi only wears a Brown Bag Mask since she just joined the group. After this, the Foreclosure Task Force consider Hifumi as an unofficial member and actually come to her aid during the Eden Treaty incident. Hifumi also goes out of her way to vouch for the Task Force when convincing Trinity to help them attack Kaiser.
Skewed Priorities: Academics-wise, Hifumi is an average run-of-the-mill student. It is because she played hookie on an exam to participate in a "Momo and Friends" event—also featuring her beloved Peroro—that she was sent to the Make-Up Work Club.
Tank Goodness: Why did she steal that Crusader for her summer vacation? Because according to her, it's essential—you can't have a proper beach vacation without a tank. Living by those words, this also becomes her EX Skill in her Swimsuit version.
Tempting Fate: During the first exam, Hifumi is confident that the Makeup Work Club will pass the exam and they will be out from the club in no time. Come the results and turns out, only Hifumi passed while the rest of the club failed miserably.

The Anti-Nihilist: Despite being raised in Arius and fed very cynical and nihilistic philosophies for most of her early life, Azusa's never truly been able to subscribe to the idea. Whenever she quotes the "all is vanity" motto, it's always immediately followed with a "but", a fact that gets directly lampshaded.
Arch-Enemy: Becomes this to Saori as the Trinity Arc progresses, due to her being a former Arius spy gone rogue and abandoning Arius' grudge against Trinity and Gehenna, with it getting much worse after Azusa attempts to assassinate Saori to halt her plans, resulting in Atsuko getting injured instead.
Becoming the Mask: Azusa was originally sent to Trinity as an Arius Branch plant to help further their plans to help Mika enact The Coup against the Tea Party and take over Trinity. However, Azusa grew to enjoy being a Trinity student and befriending the rest of the Make-Up Work Club, to the point that she revealed her original allegiance to Sensei and promptly switched sides, working to foil her former school's plans.
Brutal Honesty: This line from the Summer Sky's Wishlist event's prologue:
Hifumi: What are we going to do? We're going to be convicted of stealing a tank and going on a rampage against the Justice Task Force!
Azusa: That's literally what we did.
Combat Pragmatist: Saori states that Azusa is an expert in guerrilla warfare and she demonstrates this in her ability to utilize the environment to her advantage and setting up traps and ambushes against her enemies. This translates into gameplay in her skill "Kick 'em While They're Down" ("Target Weakness" in the Japanese version), which increases her damage dealt against enemies affected by debuffs or status effects.
Commonality Connection: Bonds with Hifumi over their shared love for Peroro and Friends merchandise.
Crazy-Prepared: She is extremely wary of surprise attacks to the point that she always maintains a large arsenal of tools and weapons suitable for every situation. She is also a capable builder of booby traps.
Defector from Decadence: Originally an Arius plant, Azusa eventually tires of carrying on their grudge against Trinity and, wanting to keep her new friends safe, abandons her role in their plans and begins to work against her former school.
Determinator: Even when gravely wounded by Saori, Azusa takes it upon herself to do everything she can to thwart Arius' plans.
Duel Boss: Happens at the ending climax of Vol. 3, Chp. 3, Ep. 24, where Azusa (and Sensei assisting from the side) is the only student on the field fighting Saori, who's got 2500 health bars (5 million HP). But as a counter, not only does Azusa deal bonus damage against Saori's armor type, you get EX Skills coming from Special-type students representing all the schools helping you before this fight.
Gameplay and Story Segregation: According to the story, Azusa's main strength lies not in her direct fighting skills, but in her planning and ability to booby trap her surroundings with ruthless efficiency. According to gameplay, Azusa might be the most straightforward "point and shoot" character in the entire game.
Gratuitous Latin:
- In Volume 3, Chapter 1, Azusa reveals she can read and speak a bit of Latin, and was somewhat familiar with it prior to transferring into Trinity.
- Emblazoned on her M4A1's handguard is the line from Ecclesiastes 1:2, "VANITAS VANITATUM, ET OMNIA VANITAS."^meaning"Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."
Height Angst: Subverted; she pragmatically notes she's small in her recruitment line and can take advantage of it to make herself a smaller target.
Hope Bringer: Somehow ends up becoming this to a select few. In the epilogue of Vol. 3, Chp. 4, following the defeat of Beatrice, Atsuko along with Hiyori and Misaki are left with nowhere to go. As Hiyori and Misaki dismay, Atsuko tells them to not give up no matter bad it gets. Reminding them of how Azusa never gave up, and because of this she was able to find happiness and a place of her own. Telling them that if Azusa could do it, then they can do it as well, so long as they don't give up.
Military Brat: She takes this attitude to an extreme towards everyone and everything, thinking the boot camp during Volume 3 as a military mission to the point she prepared explosives, or letting Hanako's many innuendos fly over her head. Her Swimsuit version also reveals she never went to the beach, so she ends up taking the trip more seriously than needed at times during the Summer Sky's Wishlist event and her Relationship Stories. Seeing as she's been trained ruthlessly in the catacombs of Arius, it's no wonder she acts like she's seeing light for the first time after spending her life in the dark.
My God, What Have I Done?: In V3C4, She plants the halo bomb into her Peroro plushie which is presented by Hifumi and tries to kill Saori with it. After the bomb explodes, Azusa is tormented by the guilt of killing Saori with the gift from Hifumi.
Obvious Judas: Not only does she have the Arius motto carved into her gun, she's got the school's emblem stamped all over her clothes (most blatantly her left shoulder, where it mirrors the Trinity emblem on the other arm). Somehow, no one notices, and she is merely a prime suspect instead of being instantly pointed out as the Arius envoy.
One-Man Army: Due to her training as an Arius guerilla fighter, Azusa is particularly adept at taking on enemy forces on her own, her typical tactics being confusing the enemy by running circles around them and then leading them into prepared booby traps. When she's first introduced in Volume 3, she's just been arrested for leading practically the entire Justice Task Force on a wild goose chase around the Trinity campus for hours.
Ship Tease: Her relationship, Summer relationship stories and her Summer version in general make it very clear that she has a thing for Sensei.
- During the Summer Sky's Wishlist event, she pretends to be incapable of swimming in order to have a chance to hold Sensei's hand.
- During her Summer relationship stories, she mentions that she feels happy being around Sensei and wonders why good things keep happening when around them. She is about to say something then stops herself while blushing. She does something similar during her 4th relationship story where she is about to say something, only to stop herself, and she also thinks to herself that it would "complicate things". (In all other translations she says it would embarrass Sensei.)
Spock Speak: Unless it's to badmouth the Justice Task Force, she speaks in precise military fashion with seemingly little inflection. In hindsight, this likely has to do with her originally being an Arius student, all of whom have essentially been trained and indoctrinated into becoming Beatrice's private army.
Trap Master: Leave her alone for a bit and she'll immediately start digging trenches and setting up traps all over the place. Even the Arius Squad is amazed by her sheer trap-making skills, after she manages to booby-trap an entire building, including jury-rigging an entire floor to collapse on demand, in under three hours.

Hobbies: Fantasies, delusions, collecting lewd magazines

Book Dumb: Despite her boasting of her elite status as a Justice Task Force member, her failing grades were ultimately the cause of her transfer to the Make-Up Work Club. Of the four members, Koharu scored the lowest on their make-up exam... by a long shot.
Combat Medic: Unlike other healers in the game, Koharu is a striker. Her EX Skill also damages enemies within range aside from healing allied students.
Covert Pervert: Ironically, her hobby is collecting and reading lewd magazines, which she fiercely denies under the guise of performing her duty as a Justice Task Force member. This hobby is also the source of the lewd delusions she has, often causing her to blurt some extreme things when unintended.
Cute Oversized Sleeves: Courtesy of her oversized JTF uniform.
A Day in the Limelight: She gets dragged into exploring ruins at a beach alongside Hanako, Ui, and Hinata in the event, In Search of Hidden Ruins ~Trinity Extracurriculars~.
I Read It for the Articles: In the Justice Task Force, Koharu is in charge of the management of confiscated items. When she uses her EX Skill, she always gets a lewd magazine from her bag by mistake, and sometimes tries to excuse herself.
Koharu: That... that is confiscated!
Know-Nothing Know-It-All: She fools herself into thinking she's smarter than she actually is, causing her to have the bad habit of enrolling in advanced classes way beyond on her age level which is what lands her in the Make-Up Work Club.
The Medic: How she performs in gameplay. She's a pretty great one at that, splitting time with Serina in terms of usage—when the situation could use a second special attacker, Koharu takes over healing duties, but if there's a need for repositioning or team building demands another striker, Serina gets the nod.
Pink Is Erotic: Koharu may not be open about it as her fellow pinkette Hanako, but she has quite the perverted streak. When she accidentally pulls out a dirty magazine in the middle of class, Hanako’s remarks about it indicate that it was pretty hardcore.
Political Hostage: In Volume 3, Mika reveals that Koharu was put in the Make-Up Work Club as a hostage to keep Hasumi and the Justice Task Force under control.
Tsundere: She has a haughty and rather prickly personality, but underneath it all she is kind and considerate towards others.
Wardrobe Flaw of Characterization: Her massively oversized JTF uniform says a lot about her personal issues all by itself.
Water Balloons: She throws one in her EX skill on her swimsuit variant after someone peeks her looking at the usual lewd magazine she kept. 3 cost and wide area-of-effect, the skill is good for clearing Special-armored enemies.

Chekhov's Exhibit: She mentions Trinity Aquarium's Gold Maguro in V3C2 Episode 4. In the very next episode, the Gourmet Research Society steals it.
A Day in the Limelight: She becomes the lead explorer of some island ruins alongside Ui, Hinata and Koharu in the event, In Search of Hidden Ruins ~Trinity Extracurriculars~.
Deliberate Under-Performance: Despite being very intelligent and really good at helping others study, she has the absolute worst grades of the club, to the point the others start figuring out something is up before even looking into it. She used to get the best grades in the entire school until both the Sisterhood and the Tea Party started pressuring her to join them, despite her hatred of their political games. So instead she started deliberately failing to get them off her back (along with pushing her perverted habits to keep the prude Sisterhood away), to the point that she was outright considering dropping out until meeting her new friends in the Make-Up Work Club.
Double Entendre: She drops these in conversation all the time, something many Trinity students are painfully aware of.
Foreshadowing: Though she appears to be an ordinary student, albeit perverted, a few moments in the first two chapters of Volume 3 give hints about her background.
- In V3C1E16, Hanako is surprised to hear Azusa mention the Fifth Koan, which she immediately connects to having met Seia. This implies the Fifth Koan is not common knowledge, so how would Hanako know despite this?
- In V3C2E2, Mari takes a moment to greet Hanako, who wonders what she is here for^note if she didn't come to see her, suggesting Hanako actually has a high position of some kind amongst the Sisterhood.
The Gadfly: Enjoys riling up her fellow students, especially Koharu, and Sensei with provocative statements, such as proposing that the club Sleeps in the Nude after their clothes are ruined by rain.
Going Commando: It’s all but outright stated that she’s not wearing anything down below in her swimsuit skin.
Hates Being Alone: In her fourth Relationship Story, she received a formal message from someone she knows, but found the rhetoric included exhausting to read and wonders why they can't be straightforward with their feelings. That she acts depressed as she tells all this to Sensei is likely her finding irony in how she likewise hides her loneliness beneath her smiles and teasing, which Sensei points out.
LOL, 69: After she agrees to stop flunking on purpose, she scores a 69 on her next mock exam... and from her reaction and future tests showing she can get perfect grades very reliably, it's pretty clear she did it on purpose.
Making a Splash: Her EX skill on her swimsuit variant involves splashing a hose of water onto enemies with a cheap cost of 2. Her sub skill synergizes with it that it can renew using this skill while her allies cast their EX skills.
Meaningful Echo: Played for Laughs. In V3C1E16, she trolls Koharu by suggesting she wasn't wearing a swimsuit when they cleaned the swimming pool but was in underwear instead, or even paint, and since Koharu can't prove whether it was a swimsuit or not, Hanako then somehow turns it into an allegory of things people can't prove beyond doubt; Azusa points this out as an example of the Fifth Koan. When the topic returns as a question by Seia to Sensei, of all the answers they could have given, the latter answers, "If you believe your bikini bottoms are panties, then they're panties." Seia was understandably flustered and confused by this.
Nice Girl: She's actually quite friendly and kind towards Sensei and her fellow club members. She appears to be especially so towards Azusa, whom she dotes on.
Obfuscating Stupidity: She’s a member of the Make-Up Work Club, but she was shown to have perfect testing scores in her first year. It’s completely possible she plays up her perverted side to keep this under wraps. Later revelations in Volume 3's Chapter 2 reveal that this was to stop the Sisterhood or Tea Party from trying to recruit her, as Hanako doesn't want to play their political games.
Pink Is Erotic: She has pink hair, and is the most openly perverted of the Make-Up Work Club.
The Reveal: Her perverted tendencies are, at least mostly, an act that Hanako puts up to keep her true intellect from shining through, as it was that intellect that first caught the eye of the Sisterhood and the Tea Party, who both sought to recruit Hanako despite her wanting nothing to do with them and their responsibilities. Once she discovered that concealing her intellect behind a perverted act and allowing her grades to tank got their attention off of her, she simply kept up the act ever since.
Sexy Soaked Shirt: Her swimsuit skin. The strong implication that she's only wearing the top of her bikini under the shirt is not helping.
Shameless Fanservice Girl: Hanako is well known in Trinity for risqué behavior around the campus, ranging from bathing in the school fountain to wandering the hallways in her school swimsuit. Even in her EX animation and official medias, she doesn't seem to mind too much when the camera briefly zooms in on her large bust.
Stopped Caring: Hanako's first year as an ace stand-out amongst students and learning about the cloistered nature of Trinity's cliques and their politics made her cynical of student life, leading to her Shameless Fanservice Girl personality we know today. It's only after she hung out with the Make-Up Work Club and witnessed Azusa's determination to stand up to her own problems that Hanako gained resolve to face hers as well.
Walking Swimsuit Scene: Very fond of walking around campus (and elsewhere) in just her school swimsuit, which regularly gets her into trouble with the JTF. Her summer skin "inverts" this, wearing a full button down shirt - which doesn't exactly tone down the fanservice.
You Are in Command Now: Due to Sakurako being incapacitated in the aftermath of the Arius ambush on the Eden Treaty signing ceremony, Hanako temporarily stepped up to take charge of the leaderless Sisterhood until Sakurako recovered.

The Sisterhood

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sisterhood_1.png

L - R: Hinata, Sakurako, Mari

Associated Tropes

Guns in Church: Naturally, seeing as they're students (of gun-riddled Kivotos) as much as they're nuns.
Neutral No Longer: The Sisterhood practiced non-interventionism, staying out of Trinity's politics until Hanako made a deal to grant one request of theirs in exchange for acting as backup against Mika and the Arius assault in Vol. 3 Chp. 2.
Saintly Church: Their religion is a direct reference to Roman Catholicism.
Sinister Spy Agency: Subverted. Trinity in general believes them to be this given their quiet and clandestine practices, but they're a lot more benign in nature. It's just that the factionalism that runs rampant in Trinity, the Sisters keeping actual secrets (albeit more about history), and Sakurako's constant miscommunications keep the rumors floating.
Warrior Monk: Female counterpart. The Sisterhood are undoubtedly warrior nuns.

I Just Want to Have Friends: Being the head of the Sisterhood, Sakurako has to conduct herself professionally at all times. This makes it very difficult for others to approach her. She's aware of this and part of her character stories has Sensei trying to help her through with this.
Innocent Fanservice Girl: During the battle against Hieronymus in VFC2, she shows her resolution as a sister by wearing a uniform of the Justina Council, which, as a reminder, is made up of a black veil large enough to billow behind Sakurako like a cape, black stockings, and a leotard hugging her curves and concerning for her privates that makes everyone present question how she's not embarrassed wearing it, let alone why she doesn't see anything lewd about it. This also prompts Hanako to strip off her uniform for a swimsuit out of solidarity.
The Leader: Of the Sisterhood. It also plays a part in why she doesn't have any friends.
Love Epiphany: Implied. In her fourth Relationship Story, she discusses with Sensei about hobbies. When asked about her hobbies, she starts saying she likes chatting on Momotalk with Sensei, discussing topics with Sensei, consulting problems with Sensei... then after suddenly going silent, losing the light in her eyes for a moment before they go wide as a realization dawns on her, she awkwardly, very politely says she has to end the conversation and pushes Sensei out.
Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: She genuinely wants to communicate and get closer to people. But between her status as the head of the Sisterhood, having to stay in the cathedral most of the time, and inability to properly communicate, she ends up projecting the image of someone terrifying instead.
Poor Communication Kills:
- Poor girl. She truly takes big steps in trying to better herself. However, what with her inability to control her facial expression (which tends to send wrong messages), along with her constantly spouting the wrong words whenever she gets nervous, all it seems to do is make things worse for herself.
- In the first episode of the In Search of Hidden Ruins event story, she takes Ui to a quiet location just so that she can tell the librarian to keep quiet about the copied scriptures. From an outsider's perspective, Sakurako has an entire troop of armed Sisters semi-forcefully take Ui out at the dead of night and into an old church where no passerby is likely to notice, a secretive operation compounded by the already shady nature of the Sisterhood and its leader's... interpretive dialogue. All this sets Ui's paranoia off and assuming Hinata got buried too until Hinata herself and Hanako clear up the situation.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Despite being the head of the Sisterhood, Sakurako is a very reasonable person. She truly wants to do what's best for everyone and takes her responsibilities very seriously. However, because of her communication issues, she comes off as a terrifying person instead.
Secret-Keeper: As the head of the Sisterhood, she has a lot of secrets both from other people's confessions and as the head of her faction. Holding onto said secrets is a huge responsibility, and one that is quite tiring. It's a relief that Sensei is there for her, even if it's only to let them know she has them. She and the Sisterhood even know about the Chroma.
Sweets of Temptation: During The Clumsy Sister and the Magician of the Old Library event, a truck of free Miracle 5,000 cakes get sent to the scripture revealing ceremony as a ploy by Sensei to lure away the security and let Hinata secretly place the restored scripture. Though Sakurako tries to maintain order, she actually wants a cake too, letting her be easily convinced by Sensei saying they'll stand in for her.
- This is also reflected in her liked gifts, where all of them are sweets, including a cake.
Totally Radical: Her first two Momotalk messages has her greet and end with slang like "cya!" and "peace!" based on how other outgoing Sisters do it; this is an attempt to connect with her fellow Sisters through student trends, but coming from a Proper Lady figure like her, it sounds awkward. Her first Relationship Story also has one unfortunate moment when she tries to add a little cheer-inducing laugh as she greets some Sisters, except she did it after saying "I'll always be watching you from the shadows", complete with her eyes shaded over.

Nice Girl: As befitting a virtuous nun, she never fails in maintaining goodwill and politeness to everyone she meets.
- When she falls victim to a minefield Azusa set up in V3C2E2 (her halo let her make it through mostly unscathed), she doesn't even get upset and is more concerned with passing a message of thanks from a bullied student Azusa helped some time back.
- In the Get Set, Go event, she's been brought into official meetings with Gehenna apparently for the sole reason that her mere presence brings the tension down.
Hand Cannon: She wields a golden Desert Eagle XIX dubbed "Piety". It's noted that she hardly ever uses it though.
Ship Tease: Her fourth Relationship Episode has her admit that when she thought about what she wanted, what came to mind was Sensei who she feels happy to be around.
To Be a Master: She aspires to become the best Sister in Trinity.

Beware the Nice Ones: She is easily one of the nicest characters in the story, always ready to offer a hand in need to those in trouble and never getting angry no matter what happens to her or how unreasonable people act towards her. Yet when she does fight, some students compare her to a walking tank after seeing her in battle, as she shows in The Clumsy Sister and the Magician of the Old Library, while others grow more fearful of the Sisterhood and wondering if all Sisters could fight as well as her.
A Day in the Limelight:
- She and Ui are the titular characters of The Clumsy Sister and the Magician of the Old Library event, where she and Sensei have to repair ancient Trinity scriptures in time before the Sisterhood discovers the ruse.
- Following up The Old Library, she pairs with Ui again for the event In Search of Hidden Ruins ~Trinity Extracurriculars~ alongside Hanako and Koharu to explore some island ruins.
Friend to All Living Things: She has great compassion for everybody, including delinquents. At one point, her charity and charisma is so overwhelming that she manages to convince a group delinquents to reform themselves.
The Klutz: She is generally described as very clumsy and prone to losing confidence whenever those klutzy moments happen, hence her submissive attitude. Her swimsuit EX skill even play this trope straight, where she trips herself while trying to catch her hat that flies in the wind.
Ms. Fanservice: She is a rather cute and comely girl, with a nun outfit that hugs the curve of her chest and bares her legs. Her one-piece stripperific swimsuit takes it up a notch by drawing attention to her now-exposed breasts that shift in her Recollection Lobby.
Not What It Looks Like: She practically attracts these kinds of events, to the point it only takes a few meetings before rumors that she gets up to regular hanky-panky with Sensei in the cathedral's backroom start spreading.
Odd Friendship: No one would have expected that an attractive and popular, if somewhat clumsy, nun like her would befriend a socially awkward recluse like Ui.
Small Girl, Big Gun: Her main weapon is a Mk19 automatic grenade launcher that normally takes 2-3 people to man. She even uses it in her EX skill for her original and swimsuit variants.
Super-Strength: Hinata is outrageously strong. Even outside of her gun, she's shown casually handling massive weights that Sensei can barely even budge, including lifting an entire grand piano once during the Sound Archive web event and lifting large luggages during the In Search of Hidden Ruins event story. This isn't even getting into the fact that she casually carries around her Mk19 in a suitcase. To put things in perspective, the Mk19 weighs a little over 77 pounds (32 kilograms) without the ammunition.
Workaholic: She's known to be a hard-worker devoted to the Sisterhood's duties, so when the time came for her to relax in her swimsuit variant's first episode at the beach, she found herself uncomfortable and guilty for enjoying herself while her Sisters back home aren't. It takes Sensei coaxing her to just lie down on a sunbed that she relaxes, albeit after snapping back to reality several times.
