Characters / Goddess Of Victory NIKKE Elysion

Goddess of Victory: NIKKE Characters
Main Factions: Elysion | Missilis Industry | Tetra Line | The Pilgrims | Abnormal

"Holds the core belief that Nikkes are first-rate soldiers. They effectively function as a private military."

Nikkes from Elysion tend to be exclusively members of the military or law enforcement.

Absolute

"The strongest squad Elysion has to offer possesses the finest weaponry and most extensive experience. They are also called the Miracle Squad because not a single hair is out of place upon their return from any assignment."

Absolute in General

• The Ace: Absolute Squad is considered the strongest combat force of Elysion in-universe. They were top of the field solders, renowned for always finishing their missions unscathed.
• Informed Ability: Crossing over with Gameplay and Story Segregation. Absolute is said to be Elysion's strongest squad, but their performance during actual gameplay is rather poor. Eunhwa in particular is considered to be a Low-Tier Letdown by the playerbase.

Emma

• Big Beautiful Woman: Emma is a fairly wide woman, compared to some more petite women among the cast. She is nonetheless as much of a Ms. Fanservice as it comes, in a similar vein to fellow big woman Anis. Emma even gives Anis fashion advice centered around their similar bodies.
• Big-Breast Pride: Confidently utilizes her large bosom to seduce the Commander, especially if you take the fade-to-black in her final bond episode to mean they got to fourth base.
• Bizarre Taste in Food: Part of her problem with cooking; her ideas of what combinations of food work together are utterly deranged. Her idea of using ketchup on a cake nearly gives Mica a heart attack.
• Boob-Based Gag: Her generous chest is used as the subject of jokes quite a few times, specifically pertaining to how distracted the Commander can get by them. In one of her advise sessions, she jests that the dress she ordered but didn't fit her voluminous curves simply couldn't fit Eunhwa or Vesti if you suggest she give it to them instead.
• Lethal Chef: Emma's idea of food is... unique, to say the least. This is simultaneously blamed on her absent-mindedness leading her to randomly add inappropriate ingredients on a whim and an inability to control her fine motor skills. However, it's also shown she's not necessarily bad at cooking itself if she's convinced to strictly follow a recipe, it's just that her spontaneous additions are absolutely lacking in common sense.
  • An Outpost event has Counters holding a birthday party for the Commander complete with a cake, only for Neon to promptly throw the cake at the Commander after celebrating since Emma made it and there was no way in hell that it was going to be remotely edible.
  • Her first Attraction episode has her make some kind of milk tea for the Commander's tiredness. The ingredients included: brown sugar, table salt, MSG, coffee-flavored Splendamin and "special materials from the surface". The result? The Commander knocked out for at least a few hours.
  • During the Christmas 2022 event, Rupee, N102 and the Commander receive reports of people losing their sense of taste. They soon discover Emma handing out free cookies to the public, so they decide to set up a stall next to her to give out free chocolate and soda to counteract the numbing properties of Emma's cookies. Oddly enough, N102 actually likes her cookies, despite not being immune to their effects.
  • In Snowfall Oasis, one of the events has the Commander suggesting that Emma make a cake for the hot springs legend. This goes perfectly fine for a few minutes, until Emma suddenly produces a bundle of vegetables out of nowhere and nearly throws it in with the expectation that whoever the cake is for may want something healthy. The Commander fortunately catches it in time and manages to talk her out of making the veggie cake by convincing her that the legend may want just a normal cake.
• Ms. Fanservice: While most Nikkes are this, Emma takes the cake. She is very buxom, dotes on the Commander, her bond episodes involve numerous instances of her giving the Commander a Lap Pillow, her giving massages with oil, and numerous instances of the Commander accidentally groping her. Then there's her Christmas outfit...
• Sexy Discretion Shot: After five bond episodes of teasing and close physical contact straight out of an ecchi series, Emma comes by at the end of the fifth to help the Commander work off his stress. Actually, it's implied in the fourth that she may have gotten pretty frisky with him already.
• Sexy Santa Dress: Her holiday attire for the Christmas 2022 event is little more than a very revealing one-piece dress that barely covers her breasts and has a very short miniskirt.
• Team Mom: The most social and caring of the lot, lethal cooking aside. In Chapter 4, Emma is first to hug Rapi and is glad to see her happy, despite her own questions about her former teammate's resignation.
• Thanks for the Mammary: In her bond episodes, the Commander tends to accidentally get a feel of her chest whenever he wakes up. Luckily for him, Emma is nice enough to pass them off as harmless.

Eunhwa

Element: Fire

Weapon: Perfectionist (Sniper Rifle)

Class: Attacker

• A-Cup Angst: Vesti calls her flat at one point after some encouragement from Anis. While she initially seems to shrug it off, she later asks Emma if it's true, causing Emma to offer to cop a feel. Eunhwa's having none of it.
  • She's also annoyed when Vesti wonders if the reason she doesn't want to go in the hot springs is due to this.
  • During the 2024 April Fools event, she admits to doing exercises to try and improve her figure.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: Not normally, but the attitude seems to squeak through in one of her bond lines.
  Bond Level Up III: "You'd better not try to leave me as those scumbags did. I've chosen you."
• Cold Sniper: Eunhwa's attitude towards others is chilly at best and she wields a sniper rifle for her weapon.
• Drill Sergeant Nasty: She is often called upon to provide combat training for mass-produced Nikkes fresh off the assembly line. Despite her harsh and immensely brutal methods, squads who underwent her program were shown to enjoy (slightly) higher survival ratings.
• Et Tu, Brute?: She considered Rapi a genuine friend and comrade when she was still with Absolute and was incredibly hurt by her simply leaving the team without telling any of them why, even yelling that "Nobody treats their friends like that!" when Rapi insists that she considered the team her friends too.
• Everyone Has Standards: Despite her generally harsh personality, she immediately volunteers the services of Absolute in searching for Belorta during the NEVERLAND event without any convincing, and reassures Mica that they will find her no matter what.
• Forehead of Doom: Her fringe covers the right side of her forehead, emphasising the left side and making it look even bigger.
• Freudian Excuse: Her Drill Sergeant Nasty approach to training and strict focus on discipline stems from her death as a human, being a Nikke Commander herself in life, coming from having to command a squad of poorly disciplined Nikkes who barely listened to her, resulting in a Total Party Kill and Eunhwa's own death on a mission.
• Gameplay and Story Segregation: In-story Eunhwa's a very effective and potent Nikke, enough to be placed in charge of Team Absolute, Elysion's top squad. In gameplay? She's one of the worst SSR Nikkes you can get and agreed to be a weak unit for her rarity.
• Gun Nut: As expected of an elite Nikke from Absolute, Eunhwa is extremely well-versed in all forms of weaponry and has a deep appreciation of firearms, allowing her to get along with the likes of Neon and Snow White. She also manages Absolute's armory based in the Outpost.
• Irony: Crossed with Gameplay and Story Segregation. Her in-game presence has her act demeaning and, in the chapter where Counters has a joint operation with them, she states that she has nothing to gain from teaming up with weaklings. She's widely considered one of the worst SSR Nikkes one can get among players, usually placed in the bottom tier when comparing Nikkes.
• Jerkass: Eunhwa is not a people person, to put it mildly, tending towards harsh putdowns and blunt insults over constructive criticism or trying to play nice. That said...
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She cared a lot about Rapi and considered her a friend during her Absolute days, being hurt at Rapi just leaving a letter and vanishing one day. She also doesn't hesitate to offer Absolute's services in finding Belorta during the NEVERLAND Event, even offering Mica some reassurance.
• Kuudere: She comes off as fiercely harsh, demeaning, and ice-cold when the team first meets her. It's later revealed that she's mostly just bitter about Rapi leaving the team, and she's got plenty of Not So Stoic moments.
• Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Her near constant put downs and harsh Jerkass attitude towards Team Counters are revealed to be her essentially lashing out at Rapi, still hurt and upset at the fact that her ex-teammate simply resigned without word or warning one day.
• We Used to Be Friends: She and Rapi used to be good friends and colleagues during their days at Absolute, but the relationship soured greatly when Rapi up and left one day without telling any of the team why, leaving Eunhwa incredibly hurt and bitter.

Vesti

Element: Water

Weapon: Pure Monster (Rocket Launcher)

Class: Attacker

• Beware the Quiet Ones: Likely due to being bullied as a human, Vesti has some rather violent and dark impulses she tries to keep control of. She even says in her third Bond Episode that it took all her willpower not to kill her old bullies on the spot when she ran into them at random. She unloads her pent-up frustration on Raptures instead, and the Commander even makes sure she gets some sweet revenge on said bullies in the following Bond Episode.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: One of her Advice chats has Vesti admit that she wants her crush all to herself. Thankfully, unlike Isabel, it never goes to violent levels.
  Vesti: "There's this person...and I want them all for myself."
• Cute Bruiser: Vesti serves as the Token Mini-Moe of the team and has a rather timid personality, but she is by far the strongest member of Absolute, able to take on crowds of Raptures single-handedly.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Was regularly bullied and called useless by her old classmates back when she was human, which is why she's a Shrinking Violet in the present. Becoming a Nikke just made things worse, since she now has to deal with comments about how she's Just a Machine from them.
• Declaration of Protection: Gives the Commander one when he affirms that he really does want to be her friend in her Bond Episodes.
  Vesti: "But I can promise you one thing."
  Vesti: "I will protect you...with all my power."
  Vesti: "If anyone or anything tries to harm you, I will destroy them."
  Vesti: "So, if you need me, just call. I'll be there."
• Grew a Spine: She learns to stand up for herself against Eunhwa when the latter is in Jerkass mode with some encouragement from Counters during a joint mission together. Her Attraction Episodes have her slowly breaking out of her shell with help from the Commander, as well.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: She's very lonely and desires to form friendships outside of her team. Her Attraction Episodes are all about the Commander trying to help her branch out and make some friends.
• Love Epiphany: Has one in her final Attraction Episode, when realizing that she really enjoys spending time with the Commander, since he makes her happy beyond just being a friend.
• Luminescent Blush: Her cheeks tend to light up adorably when she's flustered, usually because she's being complimented and doesn't know how to handle it.
• One-Woman Army: Can take on whole hordes of Raptures by herself and come out just fine.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: The smallest of the Nikkes on Team Absolute and also the one packing the biggest punch.
• Self-Deprecation: Tends to talk down about herself when she's in a funk, like assuming that the Nikkes the Commander has meet her in her Bond Episodes didn't like her for being too full of herself or a "hopeless crybaby". In hindsight, it's simply another manifestation of her past bullying experiences, since her classmates always said those things to her as a human.
• Shrinking Violet: Vesti is apologetic and has very low self-esteem thanks to being bullied in the past, both as a human and Nikke.
• Suppressed Rage: It becomes apparent that Vesti's holding in a great deal of it leftover from being bullied so much in both her old life and her post-conversion existence, which she vents in combat against Raptures. Her Burst Skill depicts her losing her temper in what seems to be at least partially a school environment considering the silhouettes and camera, while one of her Advice chats has her inadvertantly revealing that she dreams about shooting up a school (though she makes it clear she's horrified by said dream).

A.C.P.U.

"A mobile patrol squad that is responsible for keeping the peace in the Ark. Even so, the public is not aware that they are Nikkes."

A.C.P.U. in general

• Human Disguise: Their status as Nikkes is a closely guarded secret, as it is illegal for Nikkes to join the police force.
• Irony: As noted above, Nikkes cannot legally join the police force, meaning they are police officers who are constantly breaking the law simply by being police officers.

Miranda

Element: Fire

Weapon: Inflexible (SMG)

Class: Supporter

Voiced by: Min-ah (KR), Yui Horie (JP), Jackie Lastra (EN)

---

• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: She tends to cause problems by getting side-tracked with a random do-gooder task she picks up for herself. In one of the Blabla ACPU group chats, it turns out she found a lost puppy and wanted to try and catch him by running after him squeaking a toy...which wound up causing a great deal of traffic build-up when she kept running across roads after the dog, getting enough complaints that an exasperated Poli is called in to sort things out, ordering Miranda to not move at all till she comes to get her.
• Bumbling Sidekick: To Poli, frequently causing issues that her boss has to clean up.
• The Ditz: She's not the brightest blub in the shed, tending to get lost or side-tracked because she can't remember where she was going, waking up incredibly early because she misread her clock and thought it was time for a meet-up when it wasn't and having to be outright told by Poli that she is the public disturbance Poli's been getting noise complaints about...despite running around with a squeaky toy after a stray dog for quite some time beforehand.
• Meaningful Name: Her name is a reference to the Miranda warning, also known as the Miranda rights.

• Affectionate Gesture to the Head: She loves headpats to the degree that she protested against receiving them in her Affection story...only to melt away when the Commander decided to pet her anyway.
• Beleaguered Boss: Is frequently called in to clean up the messes her two subordinates make, since one of them is blind and the other is The Ditz and neither of them have any sense of direction.
• Heroes Love Dogs: Poli is rather fond of dogs and even displays some dog-like behavior, such as liking headpats and sniffing out clues with her nose, calling it "detective's intuition". At one point she starts to wonder if she is a human/dog chimera created as a product of a lab experiment, and her behaviour causes the A.C.P.U. to also suspect this. This is eventually disproven as Ingrid confirms that she was a human police officer before her death, but Ingrid later texts the Commander mentioning that some dog genes may have gotten mixed up in the Nikke transfer process.
• Heroic Sacrifice: At the end of her Affection Story, it's revealed that Poli defended Ingrid from a bomb strapped to Poli (the dog) while she was still human, which inflicted fatal injuries and cost her her life. While Ingrid held the dying Poli, she offered to make her a Nikke, to which she accepted and allowed her to rejoin the force.
• Human Disguise: She has retained her original name and job from before becoming a Nikke, despite it being illegal for Nikkes to be part of the ACPU, requiring her to keep it a secret. Her character story kicks off when her dog-like behaviour causes the higher-ups in the ACPU to suspect she may be a human-dog chimera created in a lab experiment, something that is highly illegal and would at best result in her being removed from the ACPU, requiring her to find proof she isn't one before they decide to have her undergo a DNA test (something she can't do as a Nikke, meaning the attempt would reveal her artificial nature), and make sure the proof doesn't also reveal she's a Nikke.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: Although she retained most of her memories while she was a human, she mysteriously cannot recall how she died, only that it happened quickly. Ingrid reveals that she died protecting her from a bomb.
• Marshmallow Hell: At the end of One More Time, she gets caught in a group hug with Bay and Clay while posing for a photo, being squished between their breasts to the point her feet don't touch the ground due to their height difference.
• Meaningful Name: Her name obviously comes from "police". Notably, this was also her name when she was still human.
• One-Steve Limit: Averted, as Ingrid formerly owned a dog named Poli at the same time that Poli was around. Solving the mystery behind the dog's death constitutes a major portion of Poli's Affection Story.
• The Reliable One: Between Quiry suffering from near blindness and Miranda being an airhead at the best of times, Poli ends up being the one member of the ACPU to handle most of the heavy-lifting and is for the most part the only one amongst the trio who doesn't need The Commander's guidance to keep them in line.

Quiry

Element: Wind

Weapon: Cloud Eye (Rocket Launcher)

Class: Supporter

Voiced by: Chun Song-e (KR), Rina Kawaguchi (JP), Laci Morgan (EN)

---

• Blind Mistake: Quiry's terrible vision causes her to blunder a lot. For instance, her Burst Skill animation shows her smashing an Oreo-style cookie with a chair after mistaking it for a cockroach, and she repeatedly mistakes a towel for Poli in her Affection Story. It's zigzagged by the way she can see important things (such as the Commander, suspects, and evidence) clearly, suggesting that her vision issues are partially mental in nature - Her Bond Story has her talking about having tried different eye refits with the vision issue persisting.
• Bumbling Sidekick: Like Miranda, she's this to Poli, most of which is to do with her blindness causing all sorts of problems. In the first episode of her Affection Story alone, the Commander has to go out and find her after she following someone she thought was Miranda.
• Meaningful Name: Her names comes from the word "Inquire", i.e to look into or to investigate something.
• Ship Tease: At the end of her Affection Story, Quiry can now recognise the Counters Commander at an amazing distance, which typically only happens with sparkling things, sprinting to go greet him and even saying that he actually is as handsome as others have said he is and insisting that he "sparkles" now.

Academia

"A Nikke squad specially manufactured by Elysion for educational purposes after the company noticed the potential of the M.M.R. Vocational School. They are responsible for taking Nikkes that show promise and honing their skills so that they can reclaim the surface one day."

Marciana

Element: Iron

Weapon: Rational Eyes (SG)

Class: Supporter

Voiced by: Lee Noon-sol (KR), Konomi Inagaki (JP), Madeline Dorroh (EN)

One of the teachers at M.M.R. Vocational School, an academy for Nikkes training to improve their effectiveness as a field operative. She is often straight-laced and desires only the best for her students, but there are times when she's Not So Above It All.

---

• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Her belly exposing outfit accentuates her stunning and attractive figure.
• Dominatrix: Has some shades of this with her Burst animation showing her with a riding crop and looking downwards with a disgusted/stern look. Her personality is nothing like this however.
• Hot Teacher: She's a teacher at M.M.R. Vocational School and like all Nikkes, is stunning to look at.
• Meaningful Name: Fittingly for someone dedicated to knowledge and learning, the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice is one of the oldest surviving public libraries in the world.
• Ms. Fanservice: A sexy young woman who wears no bra and is always seen with her belly exposed. Complete with a navel piercing - though, her belly ring is a special device which helps make informed decisions in an emergency.
• Nice Girl: Despite her somewhat intimidating looks she is a very kind and well-meaning teacher.
• Not So Above It All: A quirk she hides from her students is her tendency to break down within the presence of anything cute.
  • Her second chat log is about her wanting to eat desserts popular amongst her students, but denying that she really wants to. It takes the Commander inviting her that she accepts in the guise of "research" for her students' sake.
  • Rei is a puppy-eyed, kid-sized ball of adorableness that her classmates would all agree is cute. In her Affection Episodes, it's revealed Marciana would have agreed were it not for her wanting to maintain an image, but this causes her to act stiffly towards Rei, which then leads to Rei feeling hurt by the perceived cold shoulder.
• Painted On Clothes: Her skintight pants do nothing to hide the curves of her legs.
• Pragmatic Hero: She would love to be able to openly fight back against the experiments being done on Nikkes in the school she works at but knows that if she does, she will likely be killed without having accomplished anything. Thus, she keeps her fight quiet, roping the Commander in so that in the event that she does indeed "disappear", someone will remember what is going on in the school and continue her fight.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Marciana takes her position as a teacher very seriously and aims to keep her students on the straight and narrow. However, she also believes that as a teacher she is required to ensure the wellbeing and safety of her students and will do everything in her power to protect them from themselves and outside forces, especially since she is one of the few people aware of the school's true nature.
• Totally Radical: The third chat log starts with Marciana greeting using slang words like "Heya" and "Yeppers", catching the Commander off-guard that he wondered who's typing at first. The teacher says she asked Zwei about slang and tried them experimentally, though she decides to cut back on it after a moment of self-consciousness.
• Underboobs: Her Burst animation, which has her palming her riding crop, has her at enough of a low-angle shot to show a peek that confirms that no, she's not wearing a bra.

Aegis

"A squad built for naval combat, whose members are capable swimmers. They own a warship named the "Admire", which was captured from the Raptures. The lack of open water in the subterrarean Ark forces Aegis to conduct training exercises in the local swimming pool, making them somewhat of a laughingstock."

Aegis in General

• Awesome, but Impractical: The Admire is this in-universe. While it is extremely powerful, there isn't much use for a warship underground, requiring a special tank just to store the thing. There are rarely any missions to the surface that require traversing water, and even when there is, the sheer cost and logistical nightmare of moving the Admire to the surface, alongside the fear of losing such an expensive warship, mean it is never deployed. Additionally, it costs a lot to keep it and its water tank functioning, and since Elysion only made it to show off, and the government only took it because they couldn't let a company keep such a powerful weapon, they can't get funding from Elysion and receive barely any funding from the government.
• Big Damn Heroes: Mast and Anchor come to the Commander and co.'s rescue when they are trapped on the island during Sea, You, Again on the Admire.
• Cool Ship: They act as the crew for the Admire, a battleship made by Elysion to show off how good their weapons tech was and the Ark's only warship. The girls are fond enough of the Admire that they always insist that the ship is the fourth member of their squad.
• Expy: Though lacking rigging, the whole squad wouldn't look out of place in Azur Lane and Kantai Collection. Anchor has hints of Shimakaze in her design, Mast has little hints of Bremington, and Helm has the seriousness of Enteprise down pat.
  • As a busty red-headed girl playing at being a pirate, Mast is also very much this to hololive vtuber Hoshou Marine.
• Living Ship: Sea, You, Again indicates that the Admire has its own consciousness - some narration segments are from its perspective, and it somehow manages to fire a second, overcharged shot from its Wave-Motion Gun despite the weapon only being rated for one shot.
• Perpetual Poverty: Due to receiving barely any support from the Central Government, they spend most of their time holding fundraising events to raise the funds needed to keep the Admire functioning.
• Super Drowning Skills: Uniquely averted. While most Nikkes will immediately sink to the bottom if they try to swim due to their weight, the members of Aegis have special modifications that allow them to float and swim, which is useful since they work on a ship.
• Theme Naming: All members of Aegis are named after the parts of a ship.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: After spending so long in Perpetual Poverty with no opportunities to get out onto the sea, the Sea, You, Again event finally gives Aegis a chance to show their mettle by pitting them and the Admire against a Kraken Rapture menacing the seas.
• True Companions: While Helm may be a little too strict, Sea, You, Again shows that they are ultimately this. Mast and Anchor are happy to see her again and willingly rely on her command into battle.

Anchor

Element: Wind

Class: Defender
Rarity: SR
Voiced by: Kim Chae-rin (KR), Hiyori Nitta (JP), Bryn Apprill (EN)

---

• Animal Lover: She has a pronounced love of marine life and part of her desire to explore the ocean is to see more of them. She even collects them, especially starfish—much to Helm's dismay.
• Blunt "No": Gives a few of these to Mast when they were alone without Helm.
• Brutal Honesty: For someone who appears diminutive and softspoken, some of the things that comes out of her mouth can be pretty blunt. One Advise session has her say, "Marine life have faces only a mother could love".
• Energetic and Soft-Spoken Duo: Forms this with Mast in the Golden Ship event. While Mast is far more out-spoken, Anchor tends to follow her lead and comment on her actions. Her mode of speaking is also noticeably softer than her.
• Innocently Insensitive: Whether you want to take it as a compliment or a Stealth Insult given her love of marine life, one line has her say:
  "You're so cool, Captain. You're as cool as like... a hundred sea cucumbers!"
• Sailor Fuku: Wears one that is constantly soaked.

• Can't Hold His Liquor: In an event during the Sea, You, Again event, the Commander unknowingly gives her a drink that's implied to be alcoholic in order to lift her spirits. She gets inebriated in seconds and amusingly states that the Commander must be trying to woo her if he was giving her such a drink.
• The Chains of Commanding: The responsibility of being in charge of the Ark's only warship has taken a toll on Helm since if she and her squad screw up in any way, the damages will likely be incredibly expensive. Her Aquamarine Attraction story focuses on relieving her of some of these burdens and relying more on her subordinates.
• Consummate Professional: To the point where it's almost a flaw of hers. Helm is nothing else if not dedicated to have Aegis be a professional squad and to that end, she holds herself and her squad mates to rather high standards. This causes no small amount of friction between them as Mast and Anchor feels as though they are being worked too harshly given that they have never been able to take the Admire out once.
• Crush Blush: In her Attraction story for Aquamarine, she gets this once she falls in love with the Commander and interacts with them.
• A Day in the Limelight:
  • She's part of the trio (the other two being Sugar and Julia) of Nikkes central to the event Brand New Year.
  • Alongside Aegis Squad, she has greater focus as The Leader in Sea, You, Again.
• Did They or Didn't They?: The Commander kisses her in her final Attraction episode and afterwards, while nothing explicit is stated, the narration implies they went further than that if the amount of time they took is any indication.
• Does Not Like Spam: Ironically for a navy captain, one of her Advice chats has her reveal that she cannot stand seafood and is appalled at the notion that anyone would enjoy it. This becomes relevant information in the "BBQ Master" minigame, where Helm will never ask for shrimp or octopus on her skewers.
• Gameplay and Story Integration: During the BBQ minigame for Sea, You, Again, she never requests seafood as part of her skewer.
• Girliness Upgrade: Her change out of her default military outfit into either her Chandelier or Aquamarine outfits do this in separate ways. Chandelier, being a dress, makes her seems more traditionally feminine, while Aquamarine has her in a ponytail and without much of her regalia, making her seem younger and less reserved.
• Hates Being Alone: Helm treasures her squadmates as her dearest friends to the point that in Sea, You, Again, she can't bring herself to enjoy herself when they aren't with her on the beach in a misguided sense of guilt. When they come to her rescue at the event's climax, she is left with tears of joy.
• Hidden Depths: She's often the The Stoic and is at times too stern towards her friends and squadmates but, like them, she has a strong desire to see and sail the ocean on the Admire. She's ecstatic then initially when the Commander seems to provide her and her squad the opportunity to do so during Sea, You, Again. For a cute side to her, she also gets surprisingly jumpy at the thought of marine life touching her.
• Honor Before Reason: Helm strongly believes in honor and expects as much from her allies; even her own rifle is named "Honorable". In her Attraction Story, she watches the Commander's impressively edited advertisement for the Admire and immediately decides not to accept donations from the partygoers, clearly unwilling to take money from those who have been shown a fabricated mock-up despite the fact that the Admire is in desperate need for money. One terrorist attack later eventually does keep the money flowing for a good long while, however.
• The Leader: Of the levelheaded variety, not to mention literally The Captain and shows time and time again to be the most mature and responsible of Aegis. Come Sea, You, Again, she shows off that she definitely deserves her position, leading Aegis on the Admire to defeat the Kraken Rapture.
• Life Drain: Her Burst Skill grants all allies the ability to heal back a portion of the damage they inflict to enemies.
• Meaningful Name: Fittingly for the commander of a ship and leader of a squad, the helm is the part of a ship that steers it, and to helm something means to direct or lead it.
• A Mother to Her Men: To her women, but still. While she may be at times a little strict with them, Helm cares for her squadmates in Aegis dearly. During Sea, You, Again, when she can't go with her squad to the sea she becomes noticeably dejected as she believes her happiness would be wrong if they weren't here with her. The climax of Sea, You, Again shows her stepping up to take command of her squad on the Admire in order to fight the Kraken.
• Only Sane Man: Her two squadmates are rather quirky and tend to be flippant about their duties. As such, she often has to bring them back in line. At times, she also borders on being a little too serious as shown during Sea, You, Again wherein after initially finding nothing, she wants to go back immediately and report this to the Ark instead of just taking the chance to relax on a beach, something many in the Ark would never get the chance to even see in their life.
• Poverty for Comedy: While the entire Aegis squad are trapped in Perpetual Poverty thanks to how expensive maintaining the Admire is, Helm's issues are especially pronounced as the leader and fundraiser organizer. There are many humorous instances of her indirectly requesting the Commander's (normally financial) aid as a result.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: One of her advise conversations has her mention that she is descended from royalty, like Ludmilla (who is the focus of the conversation).
• Sexy Soaked Shirt: The basis for Helm's outfit for Aquamarine. She's embarrassed by the incredibly revealing bikini that she's wearing so she puts her shirt over it. Naturally, it gets wet and shows off just how gorgeous she looks. Her voice line even complains about her getting wet.
• Ship Tease: Has some moments with the Commander especially with her Aquamarine Attraction Story.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: For the most part, Helm is a serious and reserved individual that runs a tight ship, pun intended. She does however show a different side to her squad mates and her friends at times, a side that is extremely passionate about the ocean and cares for her friends deeply. Her Aquamarine version is more sugar than ice.
• Sword Plant: Helm carries around a prop rapier with which she uses to strike this pose whenever she wants to draw attention.
• Tears of Joy: Starts crying after the Admire's crew successfully vanquishes Kraken at the climax of Sea, You, Again.
• Too Desperate to Be Picky: She resents having to stand up in front of the Ark's wealthy and elite and essentially beg for handouts, but given the Admire has no other source of income she continues to do so to keep her crew afloat. However, she still has some standards, such as refusing to use the Commander's edited advertisement due to it being a fabricated mockup, and refuses the donation of an extremely rare and valuable firearm.
• What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Her Aquamarine Attraction Story has her go through this once she falls for the Commander in the final Bond Episode, constantly fleeing from him while wondering why she blushes and her heart starts racing whenever she sees him.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: On top of disliking seafood, she gets jumpy at the thought of touching anything living in the sea. In one BlaBla text, Anchor lost her starfish, noting she last saw it in Helm's office. Cue Helm panicking as it touches her foot, begging the rest of the Aegis Squad and the Commander to hurry and take it away. Unfortunately, both Mast and the Commander are busy, and Anchor needs at least 15 minutes to get to her office, meaning she's left to her own devices, standing on her chair to avoid any contact with it.

• Coat Cape: How she wears her navy coat in her default outfit.
• Cute Little Fangs: Always has one on display. It's even visible in her chibi model!
• Parrot Pet Position: She has a parrot on her shoulder named Morgan.
• Pirate Girl: She is a big fan of pirates and considers herself one. She makes a point of averting the lawless side, though, as she is completely loyal to the Ark. For her it is all about freedom.
• Pirate Song: Can be heard singing one in an advice event.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Compared to Helm being all business, Mast is all about partying and drinking.
• Talk Like a Pirate: In her victory quote.
  Mast: "Shiver me timbers, we won!"
• Treasure Hunt Episode: Her event, Golden Ship, has her going on a treasure hunt to find a pre-Rapture invasion pirate ship led by Captain Alligator.

Extrinsic

"A special enforcement squad who puts down Irregulars. Their entire existence is shrouded in secrecy, and rumors of them run rampant amongst Nikkes."

Extrinsic in General

• Hunter Of Her Own Kind: Extrinsic is tasked with the suppression and retrieval of malfunctioning NIKKEs by force. Their existence is secretive due to the nature of their work.
• Meaningful Name: The two of them are named after real life apparatuses for carrying out executions.

Guillotine

• Chuunibyou: A major one, referring to everything in Purple Prose, wearing an unnecessary eye-patch, the works. She even has a chat group devoted to her that has a bot that punishes anyone who challenges her claims.
• Didn't See That Coming: During an encounter with Sakura, she admits she didn't expect to meet someone willing to indulge her Chuuni fantasies, especially not someone who had actual manpower to throw at her imaginary enemy.
• Eyepatch of Power: Guillotine sports a black eyepatch over her right eye, fitting in with her grandiose chuuni persona. Chapter 23 reveals that it's not just for show; her eyepatch disguises her actual power, which is a red eye that has the power to control the core energies of other Nikkes.
• Hidden Depths: Despite being a chuuni, she takes her job extremely seriously, and makes it clear she fully understands the consequences of what would happen if a rogue Nikke wasn't punished, getting extremely angry when the Commander tries to stop her.
• Meaningful Name: Her name is taken directly from the French guillotine.
• Mundane Utility: In LION HEART, Guillotine winds up using her ability to pacify the animals in the animal shelter after a crowd of protesters parading outside agitates them.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
  • She rarely drops character, but when she realises that Sakura is both taking her talk of there being an evil organization called the Big O running around the Ark completely seriously and is planning to use her Yakuza to fight the Big O, she completely breaks character (which she also Lampshades) and contacts Ingrid, before panicking and fleeing when Ingrid tells her that Sakura is Mustang's jurisdiction, and as such she will have to fix the misunderstanding herself.
  • Guillotine does her usual chuuni spiel when the duo shows up to save the Commander during Chapter 23, but when Jackal gets the jump on the duo and knocks out Maiden with a single kick, Guillotine drops the act completely and turns deadly serious, forgoing combat in favor of knocking down Jackal and using her special ability to KO her.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Guillotine's special ability is to manipulate the energy of other Nikkes, which manifests as a glowing red eye hidden under her eyepatch. This includes being able to remotely cut off a Nikke's access to their core, which is functionally identical to inducing a heart attack on her target and allows her to quickly incapacitate a single foe. However, it takes a long time to recharge, meaning she rarely uses it except in dire emergencies.
• Spanner in the Works: The Hard Mode ending of LION HEART reveals that Guillotine's presence in the animal shelter turned out to be extremely fortuitous, as an Animal Wrongs Group was attempting to raid the shelter to release the animals while Happy Zoo was away, but by getting Guillotine to take care of the animals she also wound up fending off the group.

Maiden

^{Covert Nurse}

Element: Electric

Weapon: Misconception (Shotgun)

Class: Attacker

Voiced by: Min-ah (KR), Yui Horie (JP), Jenny Yokobori (EN)

---

• Compelling Voice: Maiden uses a special code —dubbed "Kotodama"— in her voice to hypnotize her targets, thus allowing her to immobilize and subdue them. Inversely, Maiden can also utilize Kotodama to strengthen her allies and improve their combat effectiveness.
• The Eeyore: Maiden is incredibly cynical and dour, often loudly complaining about Ingrid or the thanklessness of her job of eliminating malfunctioning Nikkes.
• Gamer Chick: She starts playing "Final Quest" with the Commander in her third Bond episode. Over the next couple months, she becomes utterly addicted to the game.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: Maiden's bond stories are largely about her desire to have friends and feel like she belongs.
• I Was Never Here: In her first Bond episode, she threatens to kill the Commander for witnessing her killing a malfunctioning Nikke until she scans his ID, realizing who he is.
• Logical Weakness: Since her "Kotodama" powers are voice-based, they are ineffective against someone who can't hear her. In Chapter 23, Exotic takes advantage of this by having Jackal disable her hearing sensors, expecting Extrinsic to eventually find their hideout to save the Commander. Unable to hear Maiden, Jackal knocks her out, letting Crow and Viper escape.
• Meaningful Name: Maiden is named after the Iron Maiden, an 18th century torture device with inner walls lined with spikes, an image evoked by the lower half of her trenchcoat.
• The Pigpen: During her time living with the Commander, she leaves such a mess at her gaming station that even Anis and Neon, slobs in their own right, are offended.
• Power Limiter: Her mask, which is meant to restrain the power of Kotodama. This is taken further in that Maiden requires the explicit vocal approval of Ingrid to remove her mask, even if to perform simple tasks such as eating or drinking.
• Stalker with a Crush: Becomes this to the Commander in her first and second Bond episodes, where after becoming smitten with him she starts sending him anonymous texts that make it clear she's watching him both discreetly enough that he can't tell where she is, and close enough that she can point out a typo in the paperwork he was doing.
• The Thing That Would Not Leave: Ultimately becomes this in her Bond stories where after the Commander introduces her to Final Quest she just begins living in his room playing the game for weeks to the point where she believes they're basically a married couple because of it.

Infinity Rail

"The railroad unit of the Ark. Operating and maintaining the train are their main responsibilities, along with the occasional repairs."

Infinity Rail in general

• Cool Train: In addition to the regular transit trains they manage, they also have a heavily armed and armoured hover train able to travel without tracks and capable of simply plowing through hordes of Raptures.
• Theme Naming: They are named for types of fuel/engines: Hybrid, Diesel, and Gasoline.

• Did They or Didn't They?: She may or may not have done more than kissing with the Commander in her final Bond story judging by her reaction and how long they took.
• Full Health Bonus: Her Burst 3 skill does additional damage if Brid is at full health.
• Married to the Job: Is wholly dedicated to her job in the AFX to the point where she has never taken a vacation. Her Bond story has the Commander attempt to get her to take a break.
• Sexy Whatever Outfit: A train station employee's outfit does not typically expose that much sideboob.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Well, drink but still. She seems to like coffee a lot and the Commander manages to pull her away from her job for a while by drinking coffee with her.

• Cool Big Sis: Is this towards children, and initially the Commander. She stops acting like one towards the Commander at the end of her Bond story, as she admits she loves him, and feels that acting like his "Big Sis" would be weird.
• Despair Event Horizon: Averted. In Chapter 24, she and Soline stop Crow from blowing up the train full of civilians on the way to a hospital and find out she's behind the AFX bombing, the same one that killed her brother. This immediately sets off Diesel to kill her, but since she's held back by her inhibitor, and Crow wants to push people over the edge of morality, the villain tells her she can do so by shooting a yellow device near her that will explode and cause a fragment to go through Crow's head. Diesel was going to pull the trigger until she was stopped by Soline, who pleaded that Nikkes like themselves who became train conductors in service to the people should and could not become cold killers. Her senses back to her, they let Crow go in the end.
• Dreadful Musician: Diesel cannot sing to save her life. Even children and the Commander beg her to stop whenever she gets going. One More Time reveals she also can't follow a rhythm to save her life, be it singing, dancing, or cheerleading. She also likes to take the Commander to sing karaoke. While he does have fun, he makes it clear to Volume that Diesel doesn't really give him the option of not going to karaoke with him.
• Friend to All Children: She is well loved by children and can often be found playing with them on her offtime.
• Heal the Cutie: Her Attraction Episodes are all about the Commander helping Diesel finally move on from the trauma of her brother's death in the AFX terrorist attack, culminating in her finally going to the memorial for once to pay her respects.
• I'll Kill You!: Screams as such when she finally confronts Crow in Chapter 24, who is responsible for murdering her brother in the AFX bomb incident. However, she doesn't have the ability to go through with it, and Soline convinces her that it isn't worth it.
• Rail Enthusiast: In addition to working on the Ark Express, it is heavily implied that she's a fan of trains in general, with a mission from someone named "Traingo" asking the Commander for pictures of railroads on the surface, and expressing a desire to one day be able to drive trains on the surface. Traingo is all but stated to be her, with them accidentally saying they work for Infinity Rail (the name of the Nikke Squad) before correcting themself and saying they work for the Ark Express (the actual train company), the Commander cheekily asking if he'll be rewarded with some strawberry candy, and Traingo doing a very poor job at acting like they have no idea what strawberry candy even is.
• Stepford Smiler: For all she acts happy, she never got past the death of her younger brother. She was one of the victims of the AFX terrorist attack that claimed her brother's life, and her body kept itself from attending by sleeping past every memorial day of the attack despite her co-workers' efforts to wake her up. Just hearing the Commander call her "Big Sis" is enough to make her cry.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Strawberry candy. She always keeps a pouch of it, seen on her waist.
• Tragic Dream: Downplayed, and somewhat played for laughs, but she apparently always wanted to be an idol singer. Unfortunately, she is a terrible singer.
• You Remind Me of X: In her third Attraction Episode, she mentions that had her younger brother been alive, he would be the Commander's age and sees a resemblance between the two. She even teases the Commander to call her "Big Sis", which is something he does to recreate the AFX outing Diesel wanted with her brother.

• Dual Wield: She dual wields automatic pistols.
• Older Than They Look: She became a Nikke at a young age, and as such is stuck with a younger body. She'd like to get an older one, but since modifying a Nikke's body too much can cause mental issues, she can't. Since Infinity Rail were all killed in the same train bombing when they were human, and Diesel mentions that her younger brother, who was also killed in the bombing and was a child at the time, would have been around the Commander's age if he was alive, she is most likely around the same age as the Commander.
• Token Mini-Moe: The smallest and most childlike member of the Infinity Rail squad, much to her chagrin.
• Tsundere: While she often complains and throws tantrums over bring treated as a child, she doesn't appear to hate it entirely.

Maid For You

"A squad of domestic service workers developed by Tetra Line, aimed at improving the quality of human life. Each member has their own area of expertise, such as sweeping, cooking, and washing. Anyone who is an Ark citizen and requires assistance can apply for their services."

This is Privaty working temporarily as a maid to repay the Maid For You squad for damages she caused to their maid cafe.

---

• Catgirl: She sports a set of cat ears and a cat tail in addition to her maid outfit.
• Fanservice Pack: Her breasts get an increase in size from her "Banquet Princess" skin, putting them almost on the same cup level as Emma or Noir.
• Heart of Happiness: She makes the hand heart gesture while still having the typical tsundere "It's not like I like you or anything" face.
• Love Makes You Dumb: The central conflict of her Bond Episodes. She's assigned to serve as the Counters Commander's personal maid as a sort of 'final exam' before she graduates, but she keeps on screwing up the tasks she's assigned because she's too busy obsessing over being in the Commander's quarters or handling his clothes to focus on them properly.
• Meido: Since she's temporarily working for the Maid For You squad, she also has to look the part.
• Ms. Fanservice: As a catgirl maid with a low-cut neckline, high-cut skirt, and twintails, she certainly looks a lot more eye-catching than in her normal work clothes.
• Relationship Upgrade: How her Bond Story ends, with the Commander returning her Love Confession and asking her out on a date.
• Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Her strained expression and defensive posture indicates she's not too pleased about wearing the maid uniform.
• Zettai Ryouiki: Her maid outfit shows off a grade-A variant of this, complete with garters.

Perilous Siege

"A clandestine squad of assassins who take out targets deemed a threat to the Ark and mankind. After an organization known as The Judges designates a target, the assigned Nikke first gathers intel on the target, then determines whether they are deserving of their punishment. Any error in judgment comes at the cost of that Nikke's life."

Perilous Siege in General

• Covert Group with Mundane Front: Played With. They are a black-ops unit that takes out criminals that for whatever reason can't be handled through normal means. They also run the Outpost's hotel, but they do so secretly, to the point that not only does nobody outside of the Commander know who actually runs the place, most of the Outpost thinks it may be run by ghosts, as the rooms are cleaned and room service arrives without anyone seeing an employee (though some Brief Encounters imply it really is haunted, but the ghosts aren't running the place). So they are a covert group with a covert mundane front.
• The Dreaded: Criminals in the underground world who know them and rightfully fear incurring their wrath.
• Early-Bird Cameo: They initially debuted in the Main Story in Chapter 13, where they briefly appeared as minor antagonists hired to take out Counters in order to capture Marian.
• One-Letter Name: Both members have names consisting of only one letter.
• Pay Evil unto Evil: Their M.O is to assassinate or otherwise covertly deal with people who have committed crimes against the Ark's government.
• Stealth Expert: As noted above, they are so stealthy that people think the Hotel's room service is provided by ghosts, with the Commander only knowing the truth because D told him.

• Bag of Kidnapping: D is always seen shouldering a large person-sized bag which wriggles from time to time. The Commander can ask about it in one of her Advise sessions, to which D will provide a non-answer. Although an official yonkoma comically claims that there are actually cats inside.
  • A sub-quest in Chapter 17 reveals that it's actually Raptilion, who's wanted by the Ark's government for communicating with Raptures. Not for long, however, as this person's crime ends up paying off for him when Raptures help free him from the Perilous Siege despite knowing that he's human.
• Barcode Tattoo: The casual attire of her Killer Wife version reveals she has one on her left breast. If you do scan the barcode by cropping it with a photo editor and fixing the resolution, it reveals a link. Clicking the link reveals… a Rickroll.
• Becoming the Mask: It's unsubtly implied that she actually enjoys acting like newlyweds with the Commander in her Killer Wife version's Bond Episodes, as she doesn't refute the Commander's belief that she wasn't just acting while they were together and admits that she enjoyed their week of practice. There's also the fact she suddenly appears in the Commander's room in her wife persona despite previously deciding there was no need for more practice, with the Commander playing along with her act as the screen cuts to black.
• Black-and-White Morality: Seems to follow this disturbingly closely. She doesn't flinch at having to commit some murders for the sake of eradicating evil and when questioned by the Commander, she espouses that she believes that her bloody work will one day tip the cosmic scale of good and evil to the side of good permanently. It is for this reason that she votes to kill their target at the end of License to Kill event.
• Consummate Professional: She takes no pleasure or dissatisfaction from her work and never lets her emotions get in the way.
• Continuity Cavalcade: Her first Bond Chapter has her bring up charges against the Commander based on the various Bond stories he's had with other Nikkes, like associating with Viper or allowing Vesti's bullies to hurt him to let her get revenge on them.
• Did They or Didn't They?: In her Killer Wife version's final Bond Episode, she'll suddenly appear in the Commander's room behaving like his wife again, even though she'd previously decided they no longer needed to keep practicing their husband-and-wife act. The Commander opts to play along due to her using their signal to start acting, and after D asks him to "come and say hello to [his] wife," the screen cuts to black and the Episode ends.
• Emotionless Girl: She's rather taciturn even with the Commander.
• Flowers of Romance: Recieves a bouquet of violets from the Commander in her Killer Wife version's final Bond Episode, who'd pieced together that violets are her favorite flower based on the violet perfume she uses as a signal to start pretending to be a married couple.
• Form-Fitting Wardrobe: Her Killer Wife version's minidress clings very tightly to her surprisingly attractive figure, showing off her large breasts and wide hips.
• Hidden Buxom: Similar to fellow Elysion Nikkes Delta and Privaty, D's combat gear hides her impressive chest, as shown in her Killer Wife version.
• Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each of her Event names have the word "Kill" in the title.
• Master Actor: Her job requires her to investigate targets from time to time, often by infiltrating their organization. To help with this, she's an extremely skilled actress, able to switch between her normal personality and a cheerful newlywed bride at the drop of a hat. Her Killer Wife version plays this up even further due to being on a mission to pose as a married couple with the Commander, with her tap and Burst animations showing her go from a cheery smile to a menacing Death Glare.
• Sickeningly Sweethearts: Her married couple act with the Commander when they go undercover together involve this, constantly professing how madly in love they are and always referring to him as "Honey." Even the Commander is miffed at how committed she is to the role, pointing out some rather embarrassing documented aspects of her wife persona (like being extremely submissive to him or that her favorite flowers are the ones he buys her) which even she gets flustered talking about.
• Situational Sword: D has some useful tools in her kit against Earth element bosses, like stun immunity, strong-element damage, and self-healing, as well as an initial Burst gauge boost, extended Burst time, and part damage that she shares with her allies, but her effectiveness plummets against anything else due to losing her strong-element and part damage, making her very niche and not generally useful. Downplayed with her Killer Wife version, which specializes in buffing Pierce damage but still has more general-purpose buffs like reducing Burst cooldowns and boosting the damage a target takes.
• Shout-Out: Her Killer Wife version has some visual similarities to Yor Forger, with black hair, a bundled hairstyle with locks down the front, red eyes, and a sweater, and is similarly pretending to be a married couple with the Commander like Yor is with Loid.
• Support Party Member: D's Killer Wife version is primarily oriented around buffing allies who deal Pierce damage. She increases the Pierce damage of allies on Full Burst, buffs Burst cooldowns and Attack damage, and debuffs a specific target with her Burst to take more damage depending on whether its core or body are being targeted (and allies with Pierce can hit both at the same time).
• Themed Aliases: Whenever she needs an alias, it'll invariably start with D, like Diana.
• Undercover as Lovers: She typically pretend to be the Commander's wife whenever she takes him on an undercover op.
• Unflinching Walk: Does one in her Burst animation.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: Her Killer Wife version's newlyweds act with the Commander involves her doing this, threatening other Nikkes with her hatchet, getting snippy with Rosanna's flirting towards the Commander, and making it clear she won't be happy if she thinks the Commander is being unfaithful.
• Your Heart's Desire: In Kill the Lord, after she snaps the Commander out of a drug-induced hallucination, she accidentally inhales the drug herself and imagines a world where she is unshackled of the responsibility of passing judgment on others.

The Scouts

"A surface reconnaissance squad who always remains at the forefront on assignments. Communication, reconnaissance, and remaining alert are their fortes."

The Scouts in General

• Ms. Fanservice: In a game full of them, The Scouts are a notable aversion. Their members dress very conservatively and like soldiers ready for battle.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Delta is a consummate professional soldier who dresses in fairly practical combat gear and has few interests outside of her work and training; Signal is timid, wears what appears to be a mix between a school uniform and combat gear, and is fond of soap operas.

• Hidden Buxom: The NEVERLAND event offers a rare opportunity of seeing Delta without her army gear, showing she is quite well-endowed underneath her combat vest.
• No Social Skills: She tends to be at a loss in any situation that doesn't relate to her work, with her Attraction Episodes focusing on the Commander trying to help her deal with this so she can infiltrate a terrorist group, the one responsible for her becoming a Nikke. Her idea of flirting is offering the Commander ramen, based on a scene from one of Signal's soap-opera's where a female soldier invited a male soldier to have ramen, unaware that the subtext was that she was actually inviting him in to have sex.
• Not So Above It All: During April Fools 2024, she gives as good as she gets when the Commander tries to prank her.
• Robot Buddy: Befitting her role as a reconnaissance soldier, she has an unnamed dog-like robotic companion that assists her in her work.
• The Workaholic: She's a soldier to her core, and if she isn't on duty, she's probably training.

• A-Cup Angst: Her ribbing of Noir during an Outpost event over the size of her chest comes across as thinly veiled jealousy as she watches her struggle to exercise due to her "zeppelins" keep getting in the way. Unusually for the trope, Privaty is no slouch in the chest department either making this a case of Hypocritical Humor.
• Butt-Monkey: She recieves very little respect, with her "rival" Rapi viewing her as an annoyance and effortlessly outperforming her, the Counters in general treating her with disdain, and both of her teammates having little patience for her.
• Fanservice Pack: Her Banquet Princess skin notably increases her relatively modest bust size significantly along with her thighs.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Privaty puts the "tsun" in "tsundere" and won't hesitate to go off if she feels that she's being teased or outwitted. Her inability to use her words to navigate social situations makes it very easy for Rapi to beat her in Passive-Aggressive Kombat.
• Hidden Buxom: While not flat, her default skin's bust size pales in comparison to fellow Elysion Nikkes like Maiden and Helm. Her Banquet Princess outfit, however, shows that she's been hiding an impressive bust comparable to those two.
• Human Disguise: Her status as a Nikke is a closely guarded secret, as Nikke aren't allowed to join the regular military. This causes her stress, as she hears her human squadmates talk about their distrust of Nikkes, and has a better understanding of the more subtle ways humans view Nikkes negatively (i.e. viewing their skills and talents as something that comes naturally with being a Nikke rather than the result of hardwork and dedication). Her bond story focuses on how this causes her to feel isolated amongst her fellow soldiers, which in turn causes her to find any excuse to spend time at the Outpost, as she actually feels accepted for who she truly is there.
• Just Following Orders: She is the one the Central Government sends over to arrest the Commander and his accomplices whenever he generates too much attention, and she will do her job up until the order is rescinded.
• Loophole Abuse: She enjoys hanging out at the Outpost and her frequent trips have raised conflict of interest concerns from the Central Government. She solves this by getting officially appointed to be the Commander's personal fitness trainer.
• Money Dumb: She's prone to fiscal irresponsibility, easily getting suckered into blowing her money on things she shouldn't.
• Petite Pride: Far from being ashamed of it, Privaty is quite confident over her (relatively) flat chest, and in fact uses the size of Nikkes with huge "assets" in order to poke fun at them such as Noir.
• Situational Sword: Privaty's LD Assault Skill lets her deal a massive single-target attack to an enemy if she empties her magazine while her target is inflicted with Stun. Her Burst Skill inflicts Stun for 3 seconds and her EX Magazine Skill also halves the magazine size of all allies to combo with her skill.
• Tsundere: Essentially the textbook tsun. Luckily, the Commander knows exactly what buttons to push to string her along.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Privaty develops an immediate addiction to Café Sweety's Sugar Coffee, to the point where she starts rerouting Central Government supplies to the Outpost (under the pretense of giving them needed supplies) just to have an excuse to be there and get coffee.
• Unknown Rival: Privaty views herself as Rapi's self-proclaimed rival and does everything she can to try and one-up her, despite the fact that by her own admission, the score between her and Rapi is 0-27. Rapi, on the other hand, doesn't care nearly as much but is always more than willing to give Privaty the run-around to quell the latter's ego. In Chapter 9, when confronting Counters, she tries to take advantage of Rapi's fake amnesia by saying the score is 21-0 in her favor.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Anis and Rapi call her a government lapdog for attempted execution of a fellow Nikke and seizure of Marian despite how obviously wrong it is. Privaty is unable to deny their claims and simply devolves into a sputtering mess.
