Makers

A general term for characters who represent video game companies.

    General Tropes 
  • Badass Normal: Would be considered super human in any other series. But due to the existence of the CPUs their feats aren't quite as impressive. Still doesn't reduce their awesomeness though.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Some of the Makers have matching hair and eye colors. Specifically Nisa (dark blue), Compa (light orange pink), MarvelousAQL (orange), MAGES. (blue), Tamsoft (also dark blue), and Segami (blue, though it's downplayed as her hair is a different shade of blue)
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Makers are added and removed partly based on the existence of the companies they represent. Nisa in particular was written out because NIS and Compile Heart broke ties. IF and Compa are likely immune to this because they represent the franchise's own producers.
  • Moe Anthropomorphism: Of gaming companies.
  • So Last Season: With a similar character concept but packing a Super Mode, Makers have been largely obsoleted by Gold Third in VII, and as a result, most of them have disappeared. IF and Compa are the only returning characters from the original Makers, due to Grandfather Clause, having a more versatile skill set, and personifying the series' actual creators. Game Maker even treats the Gold Third as Makers in story, simply giving them the additional title for their role in the world and power being on the same level as the Goddesses, driving home the point that they're just "Makers, but stronger".
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Since Gust, Nisa, 5pb. and RED are not in Re;Birth1, they are replaced by Makers who appeared in Victory. Token Mini-Moe Broccoli replaces Token Mini-Moe Gust, Ninja MarvelousAQL replaces Ninja Nisa, MAGES. replaces her older sister 5pb., and redhead Falcom replaces redhead RED.

Main Makers

Debut: Hyperdimension Neptunia

    General Tropes 
  • Author Avatar: Compa and IF are named for the developers of the games, Compile Heart and Idea Factory.
  • Demoted to Extra:
    • Both IF and Compa are sidelined throughout Victory, with their counterparts from the Ultra Dimension starting off as little kids who don't add much to the story aside from serving as Plutia and Neptune's adopted children; meanwhile Ultra IF is a Designated Victim who gets kidnapped by Arfoire twice throughout the game. In fact, the only way to make them playable is through DLC.
    • They're also given this treatment in Sisters, especially Compa, whose only contributions to the game is to provide a not-at-all subtle rant on the COVID-19 Pandemic and the conspiracy theories that come with it (e.g. vaccines actually being nano-chips used to mind control people with 500G radio waves), and being used as a vessel for Arfoire to trick the group into giving her information on the IS Crystal. They're also not playable in this game either, DLC or not.
  • Self-Deprecation: They are the weakest and least versatile characters in the first game. They don't even get any sort of Limit Break, something even the DLC characters were given. Averted in the reboot where they get some new Limit Breaks and a Combination Attack with each other.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: IF is the Tomboy to Compa's Girly Girl. The former is more of level-headed Deadpan Snarker who works as a member of a guild in Planeptune, uses melee weapons as her battle gear, and rides a motorbike in Superdimension; the latter is an all-loving Kindhearted Simpleton who works as a nurse in Planeptune, uses a syringe as her weapon, is a Combat Medic, and does a Girly Run in gameplay.

    IF 

IF

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/if_v2.png

Voiced by: Kana Ueda (Japanese), Kate Higgins (English, games), Megan Shipman (English, anime)

A member of Planeptune's Guild, and one of Neptune's closest friends alongside Compa.

General Tropes:

Super Dimension IF (Hyperdimension Neptunia/Re;Birth1/reVerse)

  • A-Cup Angst: Gets this upon meeting Older and Younger brother, especially when Neptune betrays her and transforms to gain their favor. She then gets apathetic and grim, to the point of calling Vert Thunder Tits. Luckily, Vert manages to cheer her up.
  • All Periods Are PMS: Assumes Arfoire is menstruating the first time they fight.
  • Bishie Sparkle: When she gets too passionate about something. Prime examples are when she's fighting the Fake Purple Hearts, seeing them as a way to finally vent her Neptune-induced stress, and when Vert breaks her out of her A-Cup Angst by listing all the qualities that make her Vert's precious Iffy.
  • Broken Pedestal: Played for Laughs. Her image of Vert takes a battering when she finds out what she's really like. Unlike Ganache and his worshipping of White Heart, though, IF still admires Vert as much as she did before. Vert also doesn't seem to have a problem with that.
  • Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: IF does this to Arfoire late in the game, after she has stolen or copied all of the goddess's powers, and brought Momus to life. This distraction gives enough time for Compa to sneak towards her and steal the tome Arfoire was carrying which contained Histoire.
  • Fangirl: This IF is fervently devoted to Vert.
  • Fighting for a Homeland: Despite following Purple Heart, IF isn't a citizen of any land. Yvoire makes her seriously consider poisoning Neptune by offering her citizenship in Leanbox.
  • Knowledge Broker: If the party is lost as to where to go next, expect IF to break out one of her phones to get in contact with her information network so they can know where to go next.
  • Marshmallow Hell: Vert to IF, twice. The first time gets its own CG image as she hugs her during a chapter break. The second time, Vert takes advantage of a cramped space to deliberately smother IF in her chest. IF spends the rest of the scene with a dopey expression and lovehearts pouring out of her head.

Hyper Dimension IF (mk2/Re;Birth2, VII/VIIR, Sisters)

  • Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Mostly in tsukkomi part. She laments that two Neptunes are too much for her.
  • Covert Pervert: She gets distracted by Steamax's porn mags despite berating Purple Heart for looking at them a few seconds earlier.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: Thanks to Kurome's memory alteration, every Planeptune citizen forgets Neptune's role as their CPU, and she is no exception, as she treats her like a stranger by calling Neptune "a kid". Thankfully, this effect doesn't last for long after Neptune rescues her from Arfoire, and she suddenly remembers the former.
  • Pay Evil unto Evil: In mk2, the Guild's primary activities are, as Nepgear quickly points out, "pretty wicked". It's okay, though, because lately they've chosen to target criminal syndicates instead.
    Nepgear: That reminds me, I wanted to ask what your organization actually...does.
    IF: Espionage, generally. Acquire confidential intelligence from other nations, spread misinformation to stir up politicians, or sometimes...
    Nepgear: That all sounds pretty wicked.
    IF: Don't get the wrong idea. We've only handled criminal syndicates lately.
  • Phoneaholic Teenager: Despite not being a teenager, IF adores her smartphones, to the extent of becoming anxious if she loses one. One optional bonding scene in Re;Birth2 has her drop and break the screen on one, and quickly descend into a blubbering mess. Compa points out that she always does this when her cell phone is taken away before leading her to the cell phone repair shop.
  • Undying Loyalty: Even when she can't remember Neptune after the Cosmic Retcon in VII, she refuses to submit to Arfoire because she vaguely remembers promising someone that she'd protect Planeptune.

Ultra Dimension IF (Victory/Re;Birth3)

  • Badass Adorable: Her 6-years old self is playable in Re:Birth3, and she has better starting equipment, better combo, better support skills than her adult counterpart. Her EXE Drive has the highest damage among all EXE Drives.
  • Call-Back: Despite being Demoted to Extra, once the two Gamindustris start to destroy each other, she quickly takes charge instructing the four Planeptune CPUs on what they're going to need to do to mitigate the damage and protect people.
  • Child Prodigy: While all the babies were able to speak and hold conversation as babies, IF is the smartest of the three, and at the age of five, seemed to be drawing manga and could use words and phrases like "eviscerate" and "time immemorial". She also apparently knows about demons from the Ars Goetia.
  • Designated Victim: IF gets kidnapped three times in this game, each time by Arfoire.
  • Does Not Like Spam: She starts sharing Neptune's dislike of eggplants after Arfoire force-feeds her a number of the vegetable.
  • Harmful to Minors: Her first introduction to Iris Heart has IF witness her subject Arfoire to Cold-Blooded Torture. This completely freaks her out, resulting in her irises becoming bigger and her face becoming blue. When Iris Heart finally finishes and tries to talk with IF her eyes go white, lets out a single no before breaking down crying. Compa, who was fortunate enough to not witness it, was immediately worried by the drastic change in IF's personality.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: During an event with her, Neptune, and CyberConnect2 she successfully bluffs to Neptune that she'll reveal Neptune's darkest secrets if she doesn't buy her something, despite being sure that Neptune has no secrets. A later event with her and MAGES. shows that despite being a child she has connections to the same group as her and is also aware of the Organization.
  • Yuri Fan: As an infant no less. When Neptune and Nepgear are (platonically) proclaiming their love for another, IF's reaction is: "...Dis is hawt!"

Spin-offs and Other Media:

  • And the Adventure Continues: In the positive endings of Superdimension Neptune, IF leaves the library to explore the world some more after defeating the Time Eater.
  • Berserk Button: Do not damage or tamper with her bike. When finding out that Histoire has modified her bike, she flips out, at one point even saying the (albeit bleeped out) f-word in the English dub.
    "WHAT?! WHAT THE HELL?! WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO MODIFY MY @%#*$ BIKE?!"
  • Cutscene Power to the Max: Subverted in Superdimension Neptune. Her Flame Awakening is NEVER shown in any cutscenes; it's only ever used in gameplay.
  • The Hero: She plays as this instead of Neptune in Superdimension Neptune.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In one of the rare moments IF truly snaps is when her bike gets modified without her knowing, much to the shock of everyone who is used to seeing her annoyed at her worst.

    Compa 

Compa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/compa_v2.png

Voiced by: Kanako Sakai (Japanese), Cristina Valenzuela (English)

A ditzy nurse, and one of Neptune's closest friends alongside IF.

General Tropes:

  • Captain Obvious: Now and then Compa will exclaim "I don't like getting hurt!" upon damage.
  • Combat Medic: As a nurse, she's a natural healer character, with most of her abilities restoring health or curing status conditions.
  • The Ditz: She generally comes off as incredibly clumsy and not all that bright.
  • Hospital Hottie: She's the local nurse at Planeptune, though her personality emphasises cuteness more than hotness.
  • Nice Girl: One of the nicest characters in the game, if not the overall series. Rarely does she ever lose her cool or grab a Jerkass Ball, and is caring to her allies too.
  • Playing with Syringes: Her weapon is a giant syringe, used for stabbing enemies and injecting liquids.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: Her strawberry-blonde hair is described as pink, and she's a Nice Girl.
  • Verbal Tic: "Desu" in the Japanese script. Almost completely absent in the translation, although she keeps the EX Finisher "Desu Desu Desu!" and will frequently yell out "Desu" upon jumping in the field when assigned as leader.

Super Dimension Compa (Hyperdimension Neptunia/Re;Birth1/reVerse)

  • Genius Ditz: As said in her description, she nearly reaches Neptune levels of ditziness, yet she came up with the idea of making an Antidote Pudding for Neptune as a sure-fire way to give the antidote to her. And she also managed to successfully sneak on Arfoire to snatch Histoire from her hands.
  • The Kid with the Remote Control: 90% of the time Neptune transforms, it's because Compa asked.
  • My Greatest Failure: When asked to help make the antidote for Neptune, Compa doesn't think she can help because she failed nursing school and doesn't think she could do something so important.

Hyper Dimension Compa (mk2/Re;Birth2, VII/VIIR, Sisters)

Ultra Dimension Compa (Victory/Re;Birth3)

  • Badass Adorable: Her 6-years old self is playable in Re:Birth 3. While she has weaker healing skills, she has better offense and EXE Drive than her adult counterpart.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: While almost everyone is terrified of Iris Heart, Compa admits to finding her to be pretty cool.

    Gust 

Gust

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Gust_7384.jpg

Voiced by: Natsuko Kuwatani (Japanese), Cassandra Lee Morris (English)

An alchemist from the land of Salburg. She originated as a mascot of her namesake company.

  • Actor Allusion: Her Verbal Tic, "desu-no"", is the same as Suiseiseki, another Natsuko Kuwatani character.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: For some as innocent as her, she will secretly take advantage of people trying to do so to her, while also setting up legal ownership of concepts and items so that even if they catch on, she can sue them into oblivion if they try anything. Case in point, she blackmails Vert about staying silent on her "Kichiku Megane Harlem Set for Virgins", especially to keep that info from IF as Vert fears that she would become incredibly disappointed with her. She also sells Vert a voucher to play an MMO for free, for 10,000 Credits. She was surprised Vert jumped immediately at the offer, though, thinking it was a steal.
  • Canon Immigrant: Whereas every other Maker was created for this franchise, Gust (known then as Gust-chan) began as the mascot for Gust's online store back in 2000, predating the Neptunia series by a decade. In a sense, she was transplanted from her home company into a playable character in this franchise.
  • Child Mage: She's young enough to be considered a lost child and is usually equipped with potions (as seen in her portrait) that she uses in battle.
  • Game-Breaking Bug: Her revival skills have been known to not work right and just heal her, considerably lowering her use in battle.
  • Optional Party Member: Both Nisa and Gust are, and with some DLC, they can become playable as well. Later on, 5pb and RED are also playable.
  • The Smart Girl: She's one of the more intelligent members of the group.
  • Third-Person Person: She speaks this way in the English dub. Every one of her sentences began with her saying her name when addressing herself.
  • Token Evil Teammate: While she's not evil per-say, she's quite greedy and has a tendency to blackmail and scam people.
  • Token Mini-Moe: One of the smallest members of Neptune's party.
  • Verbal Tic: In the Japanese version of the game, Gust says desu-no at the end of her sentences.
  • You No Take Candle: In the English dub, she doesn't have the best grasp on grammar.

    Nisa 

Nisa/Nippon Ichi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Nisa_4512.jpg

Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi (Japanese), Michelle Ruff (English)

The self-proclaimed heroine of justice.

    5pb. 

5pb./Lyrica

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5pb_597.jpg

Voiced by: nao (Japanese), Mela Lee (English, first game), Julie Ann Taylor (English, mk2 onwards), Caitlin Glass (English, anime)

A shy and introverted girl who isn't good with others. When on stage, she becomes very peppy. She also hosts Hi-Five Radio.

    RED 

RED

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/RED_Neptunia_9741.jpg

Voiced by: Kanae Itō (Japanese), Carrie Keranen (English)

A strange girl who just bumped into IF. She wants to collect her 'wifeys'.

  • Airplane Arms: Runs with her arms stretched out.
  • Be Careful What You Wish For: At "+100 Charisma", she'll get to have her "Hotel Event" with IF. The event she gets is being stuck sick in bed, while IF waits around for her to get better before joining the party.
  • Brick Joke: Delivers one from Gust and her own at the same time. She eats IF's blanc-manger, and later sends her Blanc's Manju. After joining the team she gives IF a "Kichiku Megane Harlem Set for Virgins" because she notices that IF likes Vert and that Vert has one as well. After a brief moment of disappointment she just passes it off as RED mixing names up again.
  • Crash-Into Hello: Her first introduction to IF.
  • Harem Seeker: She wants wifeys. IF is Wifey Number 1.
  • Genki Girl: In almost all of the scenes she appears in she tends to act like this.
  • Genre Savvy: The game makes no attempt to hide that it's a game, so what's the best way to get wifeys? Add Relationship Values to the events she's involved in, bringing up the possibilities of both You Lose at Zero Trust and Level-Up at Intimacy 5. It mostly works, she just doesn't get her "Hotel Event" with IF in the way she hoped.
  • Improbable Weapon User: Yo-yos. Because there are legends of a hero who fought off aliens with one.
  • Meaningful Name: Not only does her name came from the company she is based off of, Red Entertainment, but Word of God has also confirmed that her name is an acronym: The R in the start of her name is a reference to the color of her hair that is in the shape of the letter R. The E in the middle of her name is a reference to her cup size (E-cup). And the D at the end of name is a reference to the fact that she has a dragon. She also refers to herself as the Royal Emperor Dragon when joining the party.
  • Optional Party Member: Only appears in the game if you've got the required DLC.
  • Toilet Humor:
    • In one of her events, "Red Alert", RED gets chased by an upset Lady White Heart for farting loudly in front of her.
    Red: "Phew! I think I lost her... Lady White Heart's good at chasing people! She didn't have to get so upset... I know it was like a grenade explosion, but I'm just a human. Everyone cuts a fart once in a while. Plus, the louder it is, the less smell it has. So they say. Anyway, that one was really sound-barrier shatteringly loud. ...She'll get over it soon."
    • She also (loudly) asks if Nepgear needs to pee when the gang is in Lowee in Re;birth2.
    Red: What's up? Oh, I bet it's tinkle time, isn't it? The cold makes me pee a lot, too, so go for it!

    Cave 

Cave

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

Voiced by: Mayuko Takahashi (Japanese), Lauren Landa (English)

A cool, calm and collected girl that rescues the party from a Uriah Gambit set off by Underling, who disguised herself as Leanbox's Oracle. She is a member of Leanbox's SMD organization.

  • Actor Allusion: In the english dub, she is voiced by Lauren Landa, who voices Kyouko Sakura from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, both of who have a implied crush on a blue haired girl (Sayaka and 5pb.) and can be very hammy (though Cave is a lot more calmer).
  • Badass Finger Snap: Her final move on her Limit Break.
  • Bee Afraid: Her 'Black Label' skill sometimes has her summoning a pair of mechanical bees to pelt the enemy some more after her initial barrage. No points for guessing what game this references.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Saves Nepgear after she went overconfident that she could take on a monster by herself.
  • Bullet Hell: Her Limit Break where enemies are on the receiving end of it.
  • Game-Breaking Bug: None of her equipment from the store is kept in your inventory in a New Game Plus, meaning you're going to be spending a large amount of credits to keep her geared through each playthrough if you intend to use her. You can get around this annoyance, somewhat, by using her DLC equipment instead.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Has small pigtails.
  • Large Ham: Somehow her determined walk, her flinging of her hair, and her Limit Break must be done with such ham for someone who's quiet.
  • Mythology Gag: The other characters think that she must deal with Crowd Hell pretty often to be able to move so effortlessly through a crowd without touching anyone.
  • Optional Party Member: Through DLC.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Zig-Zagged. Despite having red as her theme, she is mostly the collected and reserved Blue Oni to 5pb.'s Hot-Blooded Red Oni; this only applies when 5pb. is on-stage, though, as 5pb. is an introvert when off-stage, while Cave is sometimes a Large Ham.

    Falcom 

Falcom

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/falcom_8.png
Ultra Dimension Falcom

Voiced by: Akemi Kanda (Japanese), Xanthe Huynh (English)

A humble adventurer that has seen her fair share of travels, which she's wrote about in her novels. Wielding her Dragonslayer, she's always willing to help out anyone in need. Represents the company of her namesake along with its most famous properties. She has a counterpart in the Ultra Dimension, who is an adventuring swordswoman.

General Tropes:

  • Action Girl: A noted adventuress who's more than happy to fight monsters.
  • Actor Allusion: Her Japanese voice actress voices Estelle Bright, the heroine of another famous Falcom franchise.
  • BFS: All of her weapons are different kinds of dragonslayers.
  • Hero of Another Story: Makes frequent illusions to many past adventures she's had, along with her tendency to show up in places where her sword would be helpful to the party with little explanation. Her Ultra Dimension self is an adventurist who even has her own written books based on her adventures.
  • Heroes Prefer Swords: She uses BFSs that slay dragons.
  • Humble Heroine: Despite her accomplishments as a seasoned heroine, she's nothing but humble to Nepgear and her friends.
  • Nice Girl: Nothing but kind to those she meets.

    MAGES. 

MAGES.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mages_3.png

Voiced by: Kaori Furukawa (Japanese), Amanda Céline Miller (English)

A mage from the Ultra Dimension who pops up mysteriously several times during the quest.

  • Big Damn Heroes: In Re;Birth1, when the party chases Ganache to a factory in Lastation, after losing the first Killachine he reveals there are 3 more where that one came from, and when it seems like this is it for the party, MAGES. comes from out of nowhere and takes out all 3 of them by destroying their insides with magic.
  • Black Magician Girl: A very offensive mage type character.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Loochs tneve emag noitamina cisum".
  • Contralto of Strength: Her voice is much deeper than of the Makers and she kicks major asses.
  • Chuunibyou: In the Japanese dialogue during the Lastation Tech Expo, Noire outright accuses her of such.note 
  • Cutscene Power to the Max: MAGES. destroys an entire production line of machines easily before joining the party to fight one more. While her magic does melt its armor easily, it's not the carnage that was heard off-screen when she destroyed them from the inside. Immediately lampshaded when she remarks after the battle that her normal techniques are much less efficient.
  • Expy: Is essentially one to Rintarou Okabe.
    • She claims to come from a parallel world, has a love of what's basically Dr. Pepper, and speaks to "an organization" with nonsense code words.
    • She also calls Noire her "assistant." Noire reacts exactly like Makise Kurisu.
    • And on top of that she directly mentions having invented a microwave oven that turns bananas and people into jelly, a fairly blatant reference to Steins;Gate.
    • Her alternate costumes straight-up announce they're based off Steins;Gate characters.
  • The Ghost: MAGES. sometimes mentions that a certain person would might be hurt if said person learns that something bad would happen to Neptune. We don't know who she means, but she might refer to her sister 5pb..
  • Insistent Terminology: She claims that her name is "MAGES. with a period", no exceptions. Which is probably a nod towards the name of studio 5pb., developer of the Science Adventure series/universe in which Steins;Gate takes place.
  • Robe and Wizard Hat: Wears a white coat with a black witch hat.
  • Squishy Wizard: For most of the game, she's the only character who always has access to several elements of magic damage no matter what, but has mediocre HP and physical defense like tissue paper.
  • Vocal Evolution: Her voice becomes deeper during the game.

    Tekken 

Tekken

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tekken_9.png

Voiced by: Mikako Komatsu (Japanese), Sherry Lynn (English)

A shy martial artist and masochist from the Ultra Dimension.

  • Bare-Fisted Monk: Other than using basic gloves, she fights unarmed. Her "weaponry" equipments are just titles, which means she literally gets stronger when she's holding a higher ranked title.
  • Cute Bruiser: A cute and shy girl who uses martial arts.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: Her right trouser leg is ridiculously short and she has a bracelet on her right leg.
  • Stripperiffic: Her outfit is based of one of Jin Kazama's costumes, but ironically, she has more clothes on her than him. Her trousers are torn however, revealing her striped panties.
  • Supernatural Martial Arts: Her Fujin and Raijin Fist skills.
  • Too Kinky to Torture: She's a masochist, and when it starts to come up while training with Nepgear the extent to which Tekken enjoys being beaten on disturbs her enough to call it quits and suggest Tekken start training with Plutia instead.
  • Whole Costume Reference: Her outfit is based of Jin Kazama's outfit.

    CyberConnect2 

CyberConnect2

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyberconnect2_4.png

Voiced by: Masumi Asano (Japanese), Dorothy Elias-Fahn (English)

A furry girl from the Ultra Dimension who wields daggers.

  • Animal-Eared Headband: A variation. She wears a cat-eared hat.
  • Big Eater: Implied; her character-exclusive events with Blanc and Nepgear (JP version) in Victory has her talking about her favorite foods in different parts of Gamindustri.
  • Dual Wielding: She uses Twin Daggers.
  • Expy: Her design and character is based of Kite from .hack, with the color theme of the company she is based on.
  • Goggles Do Nothing: She wears a pair of them for no apparent reason.
  • It's Personal: She won't hesitate to beat up any foe who attacks her allies, as shown when a monster attempts to attack Noire.
  • Little Bit Beastly: Subverted. The ears and tail are fake.
  • Otaku: Her profile describes her as a vivid fan of manga and video games. Apparently, she's so deep into them that she tries to become a heroine like those in these media. Her profile states that she is more heroic than Neptune herself.
  • Overly Long Name: While in the English dialogues, it's shortened to CC2, she is called by her full name in the Japanese dialogues. Neptune even adds "-chan" to her name.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her eyes are naturally green, but can turn red when angered, especially if her friends are threatened or if she takes a nasty beating in combat. She invokes this in the victory scene and it's not a very nice sight. Also invoked in a character-exclusive event with Noire, when she loses herself to rage.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: In-Game with Noire when the party is tracking the Fake Black Heart, which gets lampshaded by Neptune.

    MarvelousAQL 

MarvelousAQL

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

Voiced by: Hitomi Harada (Japanese), Kira Buckland (English)

A hyperactive ninja from the Ultra Dimension who joins late in the game.

  • Big Damn Heroes: She arrives just in time to back up the party against Avenir's berserk Hard Breaker. Neptune even lampshades it. Unlike the other Makers, though, Marvelous's appearance comes completely out of nowhere with no prior introduction to her character.
  • Cleavage Window: Expected considering the series she is based on, she has a window in her chest to expose her cleavage.
  • Clothing Damage: After Neptune attempts to learn some Ninja skills from her. A downloadable costume also has this as its theme.
  • Code Name: MarvelousAQL is not her real name, but rather her ninja code name.
  • Exotic Eye Designs: Musical notes on her irises.
  • Expy: Of Asuka from Senran Kagura, even sharing the same voice actress.
  • Idiot Hair: The string in her hair is in the shape of the company's logo.
  • In-Series Nickname: Goes by Marvey ("Marve-chan") in conversation.
  • Insistent Terminology: Inverted. Her equipment and skills descriptions use every synonym in the book for "ninja"... except shinobi.
  • Katanas Are Just Better: She only tends to use a Katana for her special attacks, otherwise sticking with whatever tanto has been equipped.
  • Legacy Character: Two of her former allies were lost to a trap. She took their names to come up with her own code name as well as their weapons to continue protecting Gamindustri.
  • Overly Long Fighting Animation: Has probably the most long-winded solo EXE Drive in the game. The fact it's staged like the special attacks from Senran Kagura (which have distinct setup and execution animations) contributes to this.
  • Shout-Out: Would fit right in the world of Senran Kagura, which is produced by Marvelous Entertainment.
  • Sigil Spam: Her Idiot Hair and a flourish during her EXE Drive both form the Marvelous AQL logo.
  • Stepford Smiler: The reason she's always smiling is to keep a promise to her fallen comrades.
  • Stripperiffic: Essentially one button away from dressing like Katsuragi.
  • Your Soul Is Mine!: Said word for word during her Rensen EX Finisher. She also insists that she's just joking immediately after.

Million Arthur

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

Voiced by: Inori Minase (Japanese), Cherami Leigh (English)

A guest character based on Square Enix's iOS/Android-based mobile card game of the same name.

  • Always Save the Girl: She will always rush in to rescue any cute girls without a second thought if she spots any of them in danger. This is also the reason how she and Neptune first met each other.
  • Cards of Power: Other than being fit to wield Excalibur as their weapons, Arthurs also have the ability to use magical cards summoning or casting spells.
  • Chivalrous Pervert: She may be a Knight in Shining Armor with big plans to reform her country for the better, but she's also prone to perverted antics like making a doppelganger harem from the CPUs' elements.
  • Excalibur in the Stone: To qualify as the heir of the throne of Britain, one must be worthy enough to pull an Excalibur sword from the stone or ground. This is how she became an Arther.
  • Magic Knight: While she's an expert in sword play, she also expert in elemental attacks.
  • Power Perversion Potential: She can make obedient and affectionate clones of anyone from her cards as long as she possess any of their elements. She and Vert gladly take advantage of this when bathing with their harem of so called "little sisters" or "knights".
  • Temporary Online Content: IFI eventually lost the rights to this character, and all DLC relating to her was taken down preventing anyone who had not already purchased her and her equipment from being able to use her. She was omitted entirely from the English Switch release for the same reason.

  • Bodyguarding a Badass: Assigned by the Far East Branch of Lastation as Noire's bodyguard.

Voiced by: Sachika Misawa (Japanese), Ryan Bartley (English)

A guest character based on the company of the same name.

  • Badass Boast: Delivers one shortly before joining the party: "Catch a rat, kill a rat. Catch a god, kill a god. The sword does not discriminate."
  • Bayonet Ya: Her Raging Bull revolver has a folding knife bayonet attached that is normally stowed in a crevice under the barrel, and allowing the revolver to be used as a melee weapon during combat.
  • Chainsaw Good: She starts off her Limit Break be grabbing a chainsaw.
  • Fair Cop: An attractive young woman who's also an agent of the PC Continent.
  • The Gadfly: At one point, she manages to fool Vert into thinking that she and everyone she knows has the appearance of raw meat, while Raw Meat herself looks like a normal girl.
  • I'm Not a Hero, I'm...: She rejects Vert's assertion that she's a hero, stating that in a perfect world someone like her who brutally beats people into submission wouldn't be necessary.
  • Playing with Fire: Some of her Combo Skills are fire-based attacks.
  • Strange Cop in a Strange Land: She's an agent of the PC Continent from far across the ocean who traveled to Leanbox to hunt down the remnants of the Deity of Sin's organization that had been making a ruckus over there. While she does more or less fit in, some things about Gameindustri do surprise her since her continent doesn't have anything like the CPUs.
  • Sword and Gun: As with Adult Neptune, she wields both a sword and a pistol. However, unlike Adult Neptune, the bayonet on the revolver allows the gun to double as a melee weapon to be used in normal combo attacks. The revolver itself is fired only during special attacks.

Debuted in Neptunia: Sisters vs Sisters

    Higurashi When They Cry 

Higurashi: When They Cry

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

Voiced by: Mai Nakahara (Japanese), Emi Lo (English)

A friendly girl from the PC Continent in search of all things cute. She tends to try to take home cute babies and distinctive sculptures.

  • Ax-Crazy: Once she comes to the conclusion that Maho is a spy (she's right, but doesn't know that there's more than one Maho), she resolves to "try her hardest" to fix the situation like Rena when she became intent on murder. Once she snaps at Maho, she goes so hatchet-swingingly wild that the CPUs have to beat her into submission.
  • Captain Ersatz: Her appearance, personality, and even her voice actress are all a dead ringer for Rena Ryūgū. Her outfit somewhat resembles Angel Mort's waitress uniform.
  • Casting Gag: Being an Expy of Rena, she's appropriately voiced by the former's Japanese and English VAs — Mai Nakahara and Emi Lo respectively, the latter voicing Rena in Gou/Sotsu and even confirming as such.
  • I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: Wouldn't represent Rena if she didn't try to snatch every cute thing in sight. Ram and Rom get abducted by her for this reason in her introduction.
  • That Liar Lies: She yells Rena's infamous "Uso da!" when Maho still claims to not remember anything after a recording of her mentioning that she was involved with ASIC, as Higurashi had previously overheard Maho (though it wasn't really the same Maho) calling Arfoire to discuss the rPhone's origins getting exposed.

    Shanghai Alice 

Shanghai Alice

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

Voiced by: Yua Nagae (Japanese), Madeline Dorroh (English)

An uncomplicated type from the PC Continent. She is earning a daily income after the Trendi Phenomenon ruined her journey.

  • Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: She's often around Higurashi to rein in her attempted kidnapping.
  • Expy: Her entire character is obviously based off of Reimu Hakurei from Touhou Project, wearing a similar red and white miko, red hair bow, and having brown hair. The baton she uses in battle is similar to Reimu's gohei.
  • Meaningful Name: Her name is based on Team Shanghai Alice, the main developers of the Touhou games.
  • Miko: Much like her inspiration, her outfit resembles that of a shrine maiden and is stated to be wandering throughout the PC Continent as a result of the Trending Phenomenon.
  • Virtuous Character Copy: While she does take a few aspects from Reimu, one thing she doesn't have from the latter is her occassional greedy and rude behavior towards anyone she meets, especially if its a Yōkai. Instead, Shanghai Alice is a relatively level-headed and friendly wanderer who is kind to everyone she meets.

Debuted in the spin-off titles

    Segami 

Hatsumi Sega (Segami)

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

Debut: Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls
Voiced by: Emi Nitta (Japanese), Cassandra Lee Morris (English)

An amnesiac girl who is rescued by IF at the beginning of the game, but doesn't know who or what she is. As a result, she comes off as noisy, immature and tongue-in-cheek, but despite this, she still shows some loyalty to her fellow allies. She is a Maker representing Sega, a well-known video game developer known for Sonic the Hedgehog and a former console maker.

  • Ambiguously Lesbian: Segami gets excited when bike Nep jokingly tells everybody that IF was planning a getaway between herself and Segami, then is visibly upset when IF immediately denies it and points out that any trip they take would automatically include bike Nep out of necessity.
  • Amnesiac God: She's actually a goddess who was responsible for the creations of the Sega Hard Girls. Once she fully regains her memories, she realizes who she is now.
  • Amnesiac Hero: Segami comes falling from the sky (as usual) with no conscious memories that she can recall. She'll only fully regain her memories in the True Ending.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Segami looks like a nice girl, but is really a brat who tries to prevent "useless" battles from happening. She does get better later on in the game.
  • Blue Is Heroic: Her overall color scheme is blue and is one of the main protagonists of Superdimension Neptune.
  • But Now I Must Go: She leaves in the True Ending. Which is later subverted, as she returns to go on further adventures with IF almost immediately.
  • Moe Anthropomorphism: Of Sega. Her design alone (golden rings, red and white sneakers, blue as her color scheme) is inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: The characters and even her character box refers to her as "Segami".
  • Physical God: As the True Ending shows, she is the only Maker in the entire series to be a goddess.
  • Punny Name:
    • Segami is a portmanteau of Sega (the company she personifies) and "Megami" ("Goddess" in japanese and her true form).
    • Her full name, Hatsumi Sega, is derived from Hatsune Miku, whose aforementioned game series was produced by Sega.
  • Voluntary Shape Shifter: Segami has the ability to transform into any main Sega Hard Girl met up to the point where you use it. Her Dreamcast form is by far the most broken.
