Main Army

Vita

• Artificial Limbs: She later loses most of her limbs some time in the future.
• Breast Expansion: According to her concept art, she's been given a bust increase when she became a cyborg.
• Cyborg: Complete with a robotic voice. Vita's head is the only organic part of her new body.
• Custom Uniform: Wears a frilly dress rather than a standard Rebel uniform.
• Energy Weapon:
  • Coming out of her right eye ^note possibly a spriting error, as her laser eye is fully implied to be the one covered by her eyepatch and landing in front of her. Unlocking her fourth skill will drag the laser up to the air.
  • Her special form's long-range attack is a spread of laser beams, while her special is a large explosion in front of her.
• Eye Scream: Has an eyepatch on her left eye that is surrounded by burn marks.
• Immortality Begins at Twenty: While it is never specified what year the Future Rebels live in, Vita never aged ever since she's been stuck in the tube.
• Lighter and Softer: Her special form's art and sprites were given a less menacing look.
• Made of Explodium: Her death animation has her malfunctioning and blowing up, dealing some damage to opposing units in the explosion's vicinity.
• Magic Skirt: Subverted. When her special form lands down from her flight, her underwear can be seen.
• People Jars: Seen in Nova's winning animation.
• Shell-Shocked Veteran: Due to her friends being killed in a war.
• Unwanted Revival: Was once bothered that Navy had the nerve to bring her back to life after what she experienced. Vita later mellows out of the predicament.
• Use Your Head: How she leads the final blow in her close-range attack.
• We Can Rebuild Him: Given the ability to float, charge forward with great speed, and a laser eye; not everything of her has been fixed though.

Navy

A researcher who earned a spot at the top of the Rebel Army's Science division after she helped rebuild Vita.

• Enhanced Punch: Her close range attack is throwing an electrical uppercut.
• Eye Beam: Her special is a short beam coming out of her eyes with an explosive effect afterwards.

Rapid

^{Rapid (Subjugation Tactics)} 

A Rebel Supply officer who makes the trains run on time.

• Taking You with Me: Though she retreats rather than die, her fourth skill is when her subway car's HP drops to 0, Rapid promptly sends said subway car into a suicide attack towards the enemy.

• Enemy Summoner: Calls Flying Taras to drop bombs.

• Big Sister Worship: Puts her sister Abigail in high regard. Turns into a bit of a Clingy Jealous Girl when Abigail's Villainous Crush Trevor is either present or brought up.

• Does Not Like Spam: Dislikes carrots. Anyone who brings her one is a victim of the above.

• Energy Weapon : Ice beams from her Freeze Ray.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: As revealed in Guardians of Morden, Beatriz is the more foolish of the sisters. This got escalated in Pain of My Heart, when she puts the blame on one of her soldiers and decides to call it an accident instead of taking responsibility for the Frozen Naglfar's destruction.

• Jerkass: See the entry in Bitch in Sheep's Clothing.

• Mook Maker: A new variant has her rushing out to fight without any weapons. So instead she pulls out Bodyguard-class soldiers out of nowhere.

• Pure Is Not Good: Her deep love for her sister Abigail apparently deems her heart pure, according to the Pharaoh. She is still part of the evil Rebel Army and not a good person in general.
• Sibling Team: Downplayed, both sisters are placed in different teams (Abigail in "One-Way" and Beatriz in "Queen's Battle").
• Tank Goodness: Later owns her own personalized Iron Nokana like her sister, dubbed "Sister Nokana" which has its underbelly cannon modified to be a freeze ray. Later she gets the Ignited, a tank she has to share with Grazia, of all people.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Whenever she works with Allen Jr. and Grazia.

Dolores

^{Halloween Dolores} 

A member of Beatriz's brigade.

• Expy: Her Sarubia resembles the Fanner enemy from Mega Man Battle Network.
• Innocent Flower Girl: As innocent as she can be in the army. She was made fun of in her early days in the Rebel Army for her unnecessary floral patterns on her ice. She got livelier when Morden, and later Julia, appreciated her designs and efforts.
• Likes Older Men: Dolores has an affinity of older men due to them respecting her more than those her age. Because of this Dolores has a devotion to Morden and sees Abigail as a rival due to Morden giving her constant attention.

• Succubi and Incubi: Dolores dresses as a succubus for Halloween.

• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Grazia's red.

Norah

^{Norah (Subjugation Tactics)} 

A member of Beatriz's brigade who transferred to Grazia's Blaze Brigade. She admires both leaders greatly.

• Beware the Nice Ones: Unlike Beatriz, who simply hates everyone and uses her cuteness to her advantage, Norah only gets aggressive when provoked.
