Undocumented Features/Characters

This sheet is for the central and recurring characters of Undocumented Features; because of the scope of UF, listing all its characters is neither practical nor possible if we don't want to break the wiki. Also note that UF is a very dynamic setting; all its characters continuously grow and change. These bios may simultaneously be both spoilers for earlier stories and obsolete relative to those written afterward.

Let us repeat that, as it bears repeating: ''These biographical sketches will in many cases constitute spoilers for readers new to UF. In some cases simply the category they are listed under will be a spoiler.'' Peruse them at your own risk.

That said, go and enjoy.

''This page is a stub, under construction at the moment. Yes, a page with more than 100 characters is still a stub.''

Wedge Rats and Their Contemporaries
Practically all the Wedge folk, and many of their friends and neighbors, became immortal in the late 20th century; they (and their children) all have Living Forever Is Awesome. They're also proven Eternal Heroes.

 * Fake Memories: Played with. Kei and Yuri remember their life as the, um, Lovely Angels before being created in the HoloDECStation, but also know that those memories can't be true from the very beginning. They're not at all bothered by this, and go on to establish the 3WA that they "remember".

Yuri Daniels

 * Action Girlfriend
 * Action Mom: In the Future Imperfect era.

 * Line-of-Sight Name: Took her last name from Daniels Hall at WPI.

Martin "PCHammer" Rose

 * Affectionate Nickname: Eiko has laid claim to "Diggy", and she's not going to let anyone else call Martin that.
 * Author Avatar
 * Catch Phrases taken from Darkwing Duck: "I am the terror that flaps in the night" and "Let's get dangerous".
 * Cool Old Guy: Becomes this during the Golden Age after he refuses to take Omega-2.
 * Does Not Know His Own Strength: Just after becoming a Transformer, he breaks several video game controllers before finally custom making one out of lots of metal. He becomes more competent at controlling his strength after learning to accept it.
 * Emergency Transformation: Gets horribly mutilated in the wreckage of his Cool Hovercraft after a battle on Cybertron, and is only saved by making him into a techno-organic Transformer.
 * Expy: Of Darkwing Duck, crossed over with Transformers.
 * Genius Bruiser: Space fighter designer, check. Strong enough to lift said fighter in normal gravity, check.
 * Homage: In addition to his own homage to Darkwing Duck, one of the sample characters in GURPS Shapeshifters ("L. Martello Rosenblum") is clearly an homage to Hammer.
 * I Am a Monster: Reveals his Super Strength to Noriko by casually crushing a part of a bench, who becomes immediately terrified of him, if only temporarily. See also I Am a Monster under Eiko, below.

 * Voluntary Shapeshifting: Can turn into a small hovercraft at will thanks to that Emergency Transformation.

Noriko Takaya

 * Affectionate Nickname: PC Hammer calls her "Riko"
 * Break the Cutie
 * Calling Your Attacks: Explicitly noted that she doesn't have to do so, because of a neural interface, but she does so anyway because Gunbuster was voice activated.
 * Earn Your Happy Ending: Everything that could go wrong in her life already has, and she still ends up in charge of the WDF Navy.
 * Fish out of Temporal Water: The entire plot of Gunbuster happened on some other planet, including the rather sizable Time Skip.  After that, she doesn't belong at home any more, and instead joins the WDF.
 * Iron Woobie: Survives an astounding amount of emotional damage, but there's a point at which iron itself will break.
 * Mayfly-December Romance: Part of the reason she and Martin Rose's avatar part ways is because of the spectre of this trope, since he refuses to become a Detian and he didn't want her to start aging for his sake.
 * Sexy Mentor: She was assigned as PCHammer's trainer once he joined the WDF.
 * Sole Survivor: Unlike Gunbuster canon, she and Kazumi had their Buster machines separated during their final mission -- and Kazumi didn't escape the black hole bomb's blast.
 * Trauma Conga Line

Eiko Magami Rose

 * Affectionate Nickname: PC Hammer calls her "Little One"
 * Badass Teacher: At Crescent Heights Elementary.
 * The Chosen One: Her homeworld had a chosen one born during times of trouble with either great strength, great genius, or great charisma. She, Biiko, and Siiko were the first time all three chosen ones were born at once. It wasn't enough.
 * Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Lost several boyfriends to injury; Hammer's similar level of strength makes intimacy much less risky.
 * Effortless Amazonian Lift
 * Hot Mom: the only one of the protagonists from the Wayward Son days who really took to domestic life in the Future Imperfect era.
 * I Am a Monster: Subverted. Eiko guiltily admits to Super Strength by lifting a bench with Martin sitting in it; nonplussed, he proceeds to lift her by said bench.
 * The Mole: She was originally a GENOM undercover agent, convinced with the hope of being reunited with her friends.
 * Super Speed: Korren is afraid to ride the Eiko Express again -- which is just holding on for dear life while she runs.
 * Super Strength: Wears Power Limiter bracers

Valeris

 * Granola Girl: Although she started out a standard, maybe even extreme, Vulcan, an encounter with Raoul Duke and the contents of his medical bag in the wake of a personal emergency left her with a rather... different outlook and philosophy, as well as a radically altered personality.
 * Mushroom Samba: Her time under the care of Raoul Duke.
 * The Stoner. If you can imagine a Vulcan stoner.

Aki and Jilehr

 * Artificial Intelligence
 * Split Personality: by design. She's two personality cores running off a single AI driver.

 * Valkyrie

Laura McKinney

 * The Ageless
 * Determinator/Implacable Girl: Pretty much every story featuring her in a major role involves her unstoppably pursuing someone who has done wrong, from petty thieves of girl scout cookie money to interstellar slavers.  Often with bonus comedy from the targets' reactions to the Girl Scout Who Cannot Be Stopped Or Killed.
 * Girl Guides Are Evil: Well, not evil, per se, but definitely very scary.  If you deserve it.
 * Scout Out: Member of the British version of Girl Scouting in her teens, the Girl Guides.

 * The Captain: Of the H/V Phoenix Queen.

 * Fountain of Youth: In the aftermath of the Ragnarok she finds herself returned to a physical age somewhere in late adolescence, forcing her to masquerade as her own daughter from that point on.
 * The Homeward Journey: Between awakening in the "Big Universe" and the Ragnarok, spends a considerable amount of her time trying to find out if Dìqiú really exists/existed, and if so where/when, and if she can get back there.
 * Human Popsicle: For some 34 years after she somehow got out into the "Big Universe" from Dìqiú.
 * Les Yay: By the Future Imperfect period is in a relationship with Ty Lee, who returned to Midgard from Valhalla after the Ragnarok in order to be with her.
 * Playing with Fire: Possibly -- probably -- the greatest firebender ever.
 * Shock and Awe: She can throw lightning, too.
 * Spirit Advisor: Her mother Ursa visits her many times as an image in a mirror, leading to many Dead Person Conversations that Azula believes (until the Ragnarok) are evidence that she is still to some degree insane.
 * After the Ragnarok, Azula becomes this, using the same method during her quarterly visits to Valhalla, to her multiple-grand-niece Katara.
 * Take Over the World: Does just this in only two years after crash landing on the planet Mojave, in order to get access to an FTL communications beacon and get herself rescued.  Subverted in that as soon as her rescue is assured, she forces the entire planet into a democratic system and gets out of Dodge as quickly as possible.

Janice Barlow

 * Small Girl, Big Gun: Owns a Varista photon weapon and assorted other potentially hostile equipment, as a legacy of being a Hunter on her home world, Ragol. (And she's not all that small, so the gun is proportionally bigger.)

O'bi-Wann Kyn'o'bi / Obi-Wan Kenobi

 * Reassigned to Antarctica: After his WPI operation to capture Devlin Carter failed spectacularly, he was demoted and transferred to a post on the Moon. ("Worse pay, better hours... worse pay, better fellow workers.")
 * Smug Snake

Ephrem Broadbank

 * Corrupt Corporate Executive of AzTechnology
 * The Resenter: According to Word of God, cannot believe that Gryphon and the other immortals are as good and heroic as they appear, and expends a great deal of energy on deliberately trying to make their lives harder -- to the point that all three of his daughters were conceived solely so that Gryphon's children would have their own nemeses as they grew up.

Zargh Thalekh

 * Artificial Intelligence
 * The Chessmaster: Motoko Kusanagi is Durandal's Arm; Ed and Ein are "his people".
 * Guile Hero: Er, well, heroic enough, for a AI that wages war against sentient beings. He certainly helps the heroes.
 * Xanatos Gambit: We still don't know what the hell he was doing with Major Kusanagi in the Lesser Magellanic Cloud, but there had to have been some reason he got himself installed at WPI. (All There in the Manual: on the forums, if you missed it)

The Doctor

 * Bunny Ears Lawyer
 * Eternal Hero
 * Iconic Item: sonic screwdriver and psychic paper
 * Science Hero

 * Reasonable Authority Figure: As President of Gallifrey

Vinzanthaxatobernel (Tobernel)

 * Death Equals Redemption: Pretty much the only example of this in The Verse, though, being a Time Lord, He Gets Better.

 * Heel Face Turn: with an accompanying regeneration for good measure.
 * The Nth Doctor
 * Time Lord and High Chancellor of Gallifrey
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist

The Ragnarok Wave, "Second Generation" Characters, and Their Contemporaries and Near-Contemporaries
Strictly speaking, the "Ragnarok Wave" are those children of Wedge Defenders conceived in the days and weeks immediately following the averted Ragnarok, and born in and about 2390. However, as a category on this page it also includes pretty much anyone else from Midgard who is within a few years of their age and who plays a major role in Symphony of the Sword or Warriors of the Outer Rim. Also, as noted above, the children of Wedge Defenders and certain others are all immortal, of the Living Forever Is Awesome variety.

Kaitlyn Hutchins

 * Animal Motif: Tigers. Much of her clothing is tiger-striped or black with orange accents.
 * Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Her threadbare stuffed tiger, Seven.
 * Heir to the Dojo
 * The Leader
 * Minored in Asskicking: First exhibited when she stomps the ever-living daylights out of Saionji in a live-steel duel in the WPI quad. Later taken to truly epic levels in the Duelists' Society.
 * Non-Human Sidekick: Lesser Mazinger, a "toy" who gets its biggest role in the first symphony.
 * Not What It Looks Like: Used verbatim in a note to her lover, when sleeping next to someone else. Though it was obvious to everyone that the relationship was heading towards what it looked like anyway.
 * The Power of Rock: Jamming enemy communications with a live version of "Rockin' in the Free World", along with the rest of The Art of Noise.
 * Samurai
 * Scary Shiny Glasses: Kaitlyn when she confronts Garcia in Hunter Rose.
 * Speech Impediment: In the UF "present day" she no longer has it, but since she could speak Kaitlyn had a truly epic stutter whose severity depended on how well she knew and trusted whoever she was talking to.
 * Training From Hell: The promotion ceremony to master of the Asagiri style, a long series of Rose Duels, was a little on the extreme side (while still being, of course, awesome). Justified in that it's her very last action as a student, and she'd face much harder real battles in the future. It works under essentially the same theory as Ph.D. oral exams -- you don't have to win every time, you just have to show your skill and survive.
 * Triang Relations: by the end of the Symphony is in a type 8 relationship with.

Amanda Dessler

 * Badass Princess, later serving as Ambadassador to Babylon 6.
 * Blue Skinned Space Babe
 * Brother-Sister Incest
 * Lady of War
 * Like You Would Really Do It: Her sister Xenia has tried to have her killed more than once,

Azalynn dv'Ir Natashkan

 * Barehanded Blade Block: Does this to Saionji the first time she meets him.
 * Bi the Way
 * Darkskinned Blonde: Wiry gray hair, actually.
 * Does Not Like Shoes: But will wear them when necessary -- such as to trudge through the snow of a Massachusetts winter.
 * The Empath: It's not a psychic power, though -- just being unusually sensitive to her friends' moods and feelings.
 * Ethical Slut: This seems to be the Dantrovian religion. And as a devout practitioner, she never hesitates to use sex to improve the lives of her friends.
 * Expy: Not exactly. Azalynn's appearance is based on a picture of Kaolla Su from Love Hina, before Gryphon actually saw the anime.
 * Foe Yay: With Liza Broadbank; after Liza undergoes her Heel Face Turn, they become a couple.
 * Four-Fingered Hands: But not because she's a cartoon. Oddly, this seems to be the first thing about her -- instead of her hair, her eyes, her copper skin, or her tail -- that clues people in that she's an alien.
 * Genki Girl
 * The Matchmaker: Gleefully shipping everyone with everyone.
 * Motor Mouth: Azalynn has on occasion been described as talking too fast for anyone to understand her.
 * Natural Weapon: Dantrovians are an arboreal species, but those claws aren't just for climbing.
 * The Nose Knows
 * Prehensile Tail
 * The Sleepless: She only sleeps two hours a night; this is apparently a Dantrovian racial trait. To make matters worse (for her roommates and friends, at least), she is apparently able to "bank up" by sleeping for longer, and then stay awake for days without ill effects.
 * Speed Blitz: The Dantrovian "fight-or-flight" adrenaline overdrive, which basically turns her into the Tasmanian Devil for several minutes, after which she falls over, exhausted and unconscious.

J. Maurice "Moose" MacEchearn the Fourth

 * Bald of Awesome
 * The Big Guy: Moose is from the planet Hoffman, whose inhabitants were genetically engineered to withstand its high gravity.
 * Gentle Giant
 * Religious Bruiser: He just changes religions every so often in a search for spiritual truth.
 * Scary Black Man
 * Super Strength: In Wounded Rose, Moose effortlessly picks up a crated upright piano and carries it on his shoulder; later he carries it for an extended distance held out in front of him at arm's length.

Devlin Carter (or Carter Devlin, take your pick)
""I'm not very smart, but my memory's good."
 * Catch Phrase: "I'm not very X, but I am Y", with X and Y being situationally-determined qualities; this is often self-deprecation, as Devlin frequently displays both qualities. A few examples:

"I'm not very good with computers, but locks like me."

"I'm not very rich, but I am a gentleman."

"I'm not very strong, but I'm dext'rous."

"I'm not very brave, but I am loyal.""


 * Cowardly Lion: Repeatedly insists he is a coward, but his actions argue otherwise.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: With regard to his psionic abilities, which he's kept hidden for years to avoid the Psi Cops.
 * It's Not You, It's My Enemies: Tries to play this with Amanda. Fails spectacularly.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity
 * Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: It's noticed that once Dorothy joins the group at WPI, Devlin's "comic-opera Lord Peter Wimsey" accent tends to lighten around her.
 * Upperclass Twit: As his cover story

Kitarina Dragonaar

 * Fiery Redhead
 * Legacy of Service: The Dragonaar family has served the Dessler family for generations. "For every Dessler, a Dragonaar."
 * Subordinate Excuse: Seems to run in the family.

Liza Broadbank / Elisabeth R'tas Shustal

 * Alpha Bitch/Blondes Are Evil before her Heel Face Turn. Referred to by the Duelists as "Liza Broadbitch".
 * Daddy's Little Villain: At least until she became a Fallen Princess.
 * Fallen Princess (which leads to her That Man Is Dead moment)
 * Foe Yay: With Azalynn; after Liza undergoes her Heel Face Turn, they become a couple.
 * Healing Thoughts: Liza discovers that she's an anodyne, who can heal injuries psychically. Repairing particularly bad injuries seem to be Cast From Hit Points.
 * Hoist by Her Own Petard: Her plan to harass Kaitlyn by  went spectacularly wrong; she only got out by Kaitlyn's Save the Villain moment.
 * Heel Face Turn
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Supposedly named for her grandmother, but her father couldn't be bothered to use the spelling "Elisabeth", which was her actual name.  As part of her name change after her That Man Is Dead moment, Liza corrects the spelling.
 * Spoiled Brat (before her That Man Is Dead moment)
 * Swashbuckler
 * That Man Is Dead
 * The Spartan Way: Which Liza chooses on purpose, working as a deckhand on a trading ship to distance herself from her Rich Bitch past.

 * Manipulative Bitch
 * Rich Bitch
 * Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up
 * Smug Snake
 * Spoiled Brat
 * Tyke Bomb: Clarissa was deliberately conceived and raised by her parents to torment Gryphon and MegaZone's children, as part of her father's obsession with proving that Gryphon wasn't as good and heroic as he appears to the galaxy at large. Unlike her sisters, she not only fully embraced the role, she expanded on it.

Marietta Broadbank

 * Daddy's Little Villain: Averted. See Tykebomb, below.
 * Lonely Rich Kid: Because she refused to act as a nemesis/tormentor for the youngest Hutchins/Morgan/Daniels children, her parents ignored and isolated her, and eventually all but disowned her. Fortunately,.
 * Spoiled Sweet: despite the best efforts of her parents to turn her into a clone of Liza and Clarissa.
 * Tyke Bomb: Averted. Although Marietta was deliberately conceived and raised by her parents to torment Gryphon and MegaZone's children, as part of her father's obsession with proving that Gryphon wasn't as good and heroic as he appears to the galaxy at large, she refused to go along with her father's agenda.

 * Divine Parentage
 * Gadgeteer Genius

Mirai Morisato
"The door swung open to reveal a young blonde woman with a bright smile on her face. "Hi, Logan!" she said, leaping to give the shorter man a hug, then repeated it on Geoff with a cry of "Hello, person I don't know!" before dragging the two men in the door."
 * Divine Parentage
 * Friend to All Living Things


 * Genius Ditz: Although she initially gives every impression of being nothing more than a fashion-obsessed airhead, as of the events of Code-Name Ultra it's clear that Mirai is a genius at public relations and managing media -- to the point where her airhead persona may actually be little more than Obfuscating Stupidity.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: If she's not a Genius Ditz.
 * Refusal of the Call: Like her brother Hiroshi, appears to have declined the benefits of her divine heritage.

Theodora "Buttercup" Utonium

 * Artificial Human
 * Expy (In this "official" illustration of the Utonium sisters as teenagers, Buttercup was explicitly modeled on "a militant Akane Tendo", according to the artist.)
 * Tsundere
 * Unlucky Childhood Friend (Nurtured a secret crush on Corwin, but never said anything about it until after )

Theresa "Bubbles" Utonium

 * Artificial Human
 * The Ditz
 * Expy (In this "official" illustration of the Utonium sisters as teenagers, Bubbles is modeled somewhat on Sasami Jurai Masaki.)

Blossom Utonium

 * Artificial Human
 * Expy (In this "official" illustration of the Utonium sisters as teenagers, Blossom was modeled on Asuka Sohryuu Langley.)

Fuu Hououji

 * Ambadassador (Well, ambassador's bad ass daughter -- her father is the Ambassador to Zeta Cygni from Funkotron.)
 * Blow You Away
 * Eloquent in My Native Tongue: A rare inversion. Her native Funkotroni sounds like Jive Talk, but her Standard is as close to Keigo as possible.

R. Dorothy Waynewright

 * Robot Girl
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * All Drummers Are Animals
 * Ridiculously Human Robot: It takes one of her professors a few weeks of class to even notice.
 * Dorothy can avert this at will, having the conscious ability to make her normally-silent mechanical actuators audible while at the same time changing her body motions from lifelike to inhumanly mechanical. It's stated that she employs this almost useless ability solely to taunt those who already react negatively to her robotic nature.
 * Replacement Goldfish: Dorothy was built to replace her creator's late daughter.
 * Robosexual: Is in a serious relationship with Miki for an unspecified length of time.
 * Sex Bot: Subverted. Although she is "anatomically complete" and capable of sexual relationships, she was not designed nor used by her creator for that purpose. He was probably just trying to design the most complete Replacement Goldfish he could.
 * Step Up to the Microphone: The concert at the Majestic on Kane's World.
 * Super Strength
 * "Three Laws"-Compliant: Definitely averted, though she did pretend to follow the laws to fool the Mooks.

Mia Ausa

 * Half-Human Hybrid: John Trussell's half-Minbari daughter.
 * Hermetic Magic
 * The Mole: At Ohtori Institute in Oriphos, late in the Symphony. Or at least, so it is implied.

 * Dreaming of Times Gone By: Alaia's psychometry can view the past of an object

Sumire "Mimi" Shinguuji

 * Katanas Are Just Better

Imra Ardeen

 * Psychic Powers

John Hyatt (a.k.a. J'onn Hy'aat)

 * Psychic Powers

Amelia Pond

 * Time Travel

Rory Williams
Time traveler, seamlessly slotted into student life at DSMI.
 * Older Than He Looks: Appears to be in his mid-teens, is very much not.
 * Time Travel

Cephirans
Most of these have some color of You Gotta Have Blue Hair, by virtue of being from Revolutionary Girl Utena.

Utena Tenjou

 * Action Girl (And how!)
 * Badass
 * The Captain, IPS Valiant
 * The Chosen One: Certain factions late in Symphony of the Sword think that Utena is "the One" due to how much change she tends to instigate. She did win the power to revolutionize the world, after all.
 * Cool Sword: Four! The Sword of Dios, renamed The Heart of the Rose, a sword that appears to be made of her Heroic Spirit alone. The Thorn of the Rose, a Valkyrie blade of deeply blued steel bearing the runic inscription: "Cast in the name of God, ye not guilty." And finally, a red lightsaber. And now, Cortana, forged of the same steel as Durandal and Joyeuse. Given her unpredictable fighting style, it's hard to tell which is the better weapon.
 * Determinator
 * Eternal Hero: By the nature of the recurring role of the Rose Prince.
 * Feminine Women Can Cook: Utena subverts yet another gender trope.
 * Heroic Spirit: In spades. She is practically made of this. (And awesome and win.)
 * I Will Find You
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness:""If there's one thing about Utena Tenjou which is a universal constant, it's her incorruptible loyalty. What she's in right now may look like an irresolvable trap, but... I have faith in her. She'll find a way to balance her loyalty to Corwin with her loyalty to Himemiya; her nature will permit her to do nothing else.""

- Kyouichi Saionji


 * Martial Pacifist
 * Messianic Archetype: Gives everything she has to drag Anthy out of her coffin -- and then gives more. She was lost to the world she came from, presumed dead, and descended to the world below.  And then she came back in glory, the gate separating her world from Heaven forever sundered by divine power.  She revolutionizes the world and the lives of her friends, and then moves on to dragging as many people as possible out of their own coffins.  And only after all of that, Utena takes up carpentry.
 * Non-Human Sidekick: Tiny Robo, a "toy" who gets its biggest role in the first symphony.
 * Rose-Haired Girl
 * Sapient Steed: Her horse, Thunderbolt, is a Paladin's mount, with all the abilities that entails. Mostly an Informed Ability in-story, but she does need him in order to actually be a prince on a white horse.
 * Warrior Prince: The reason for having the Rose Prince in the first place.
 * Who Wears Short Shorts?: Her metabolism is high enough that she's comfortable wearing shorts above 20°F (-7°C). Which is nice, because She's Got Legs!

Anthy Himemiya

 * Badass Princess
 * Flower Motifs: Special mention for the Rose Bride, who keeps her greenhouse full of roses and casts rose-based magic spells.
 * Friend to All Living Things: At one point she befriends, of all things, a badger.
 * Good Witch Versus Bad Witch: As in Revolutionary Girl Utena, played with. She can heal with a touch, and buff the Sword of Dios, and fights with a staff, so she might seem like a White Magician Girl. But then there are her offensive spells, like her truly terrifying death of dreams, that put her into Lady of Black Magic territory.
 * The Hecate Sisters: Related to the above; this trope is zig-zagged, subverted hard, deconstructed, and finally reconstructed. Anthy's character spends so much time crossing the line between being a princess that needs to be protected, and a old and scheming witch that it's hard to tell how to classify her. This is intentional, and part of the Deconstruction from the original source. But as she goes forward in Symphony of the Sword, the Reconstruction enhances both her witch and princess aspects as she finds her prince and trains to be a sorceress -- and then she decides to be a mother. By the end of the Symphony, she's an exemplar of all three aspects of Hecate: maiden, mother, and witch.
 * Human Pincushion: In a Fate Worse Than Death way. She gets better.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy
 * I Will Find You
 * Lethal Chef/One-Note Cook: The shaved ice is safe. Only the shaved ice...
 * Magic Kiss: The buff thing she does with the Heart of the Rose, Utena's sword, which is still as symbolic as ever.
 * Meganekko: She never really needed the glasses in the first place... until she started studying in earnest. Now she needs reading glasses.
 * The Messiah: She's just like Aunt Bell... but a little bit evil &gt;:) .  Her emotions of kindness are so strong that they're actually annoying to telepaths.
 * Non-Human Sidekick: The Ridiculously Cute Critter Chu-Chu, though we don't see him much after the Second Symphony.
 * Petal Power: Cephiran magic in general is rose-themed, but Anthy's spells are especially so.
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old
 * Simple Staff: Uses a Draconic warstaff in battle.
 * Teach Me How to Fight: Asks to teach her how to use her magic.

Kyouichi Saionji

 * Ax Crazy: Initially, although he does get better, thanks mostly to Azalynn.
 * Deadpan Snarker: Probably the first one gated to WPI so that Gryphon could use the word "sardonic" more.
 * Defeat Equals Friendship: Played with. After getting his keister handed to him by Kaitlyn, he becomes... the fry cook at WPI's student dining hall. And eventually one of Utena's closer friends.
 * Insanity Immunity: Psi Cop Roger Tremayne's psionic attacks have no effect on Kyouichi "Crazy Train" Saionji.
 * Insult of Endearment: The Art of Noise is fond of calling him "Crazy Train", and performing the song in his honor.
 * Kendo Team Captain: During his time at Ohtori Academy.
 * Pride Before a Fall: Happens a second time in the early part of the Symphony, but the Aesop seems to stick this time.
 * Sex Face Turn (To a certain extent.)
 * Samurai
 * Tall, Dark and Snarky
 * Teach Me How to Fight: Played with, since he was already an experienced kendoka when he asked Kaitlyn. Still, he had been on quite the losing streak, losing to Utena, Touga, and finally Kaitlyn before his self-esteem issues finally caught up with him.
 * Troubled but Cute

Wakaba Shinohara

 * All Girls Want Bad Boys: Even after she grows enough to know that Saionji is the kind of boy she should avoid, she wants him anyway.
 * Curtains Match the Windows: Brown, the exact same shade of brown
 * Genki Girl: Less so than in the original series, but still qualifies.
 * The Glomp: First thing she does after arriving in Midgard.
 * Important Hair Accessory: Two. First, she finally gets back the carved leaf from Anthy was the cause of a surprising amount of drama.  After she developed her magic powers and finally grew up, she finally let her hair down from its onion-state.
 * Jumped At the Call: The call was Utena-shaped after all, and she's used to jumping on that.
 * Plucky Girl: Go to another plane to protect Lady Utena? Sure, why not!
 * Took a Level In Badass: The anime makes a point of how ordinary she is (though, like everything else in Utena, this is subject to Subversion and Mind Screw). So then Skuld goes and makes her a Lensman, and she becomes The Green freaking Lensman.

 * Half-Identical Twins with sister Kozue, although not to the point that they're indistinguishable from each other.
 * Iconic Item: Miki's stopwatch gives him the nickname "Time Lord".
 * Nice Guy
 * Robosexual: Is in a serious relationship with R. Dorothy for an unspecified length of time.
 * Teen Genius
 * Triang Relations: by the end of the Symphony is in a type 8 relationship with.

 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Kozue Kaoru

 * The Ace
 * Ace Pilot
 * Curtains Match the Windows
 * Ethical Slut: What she resolved to be after Miki disappeared from Cephiro, but circumstances have ended up forcing her to be (mostly) celibate since then.

 * Half-Identical Twins with brother Miki, although not to the point that they're indistinguishable from each other.
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy:

Celestial and Infernal Entities
Includes basically everyone who is not from Midgard, the Tenth World, or Parallel Universe versions of Midgard.

Gods and Devils get Facial Markings, à la Ah! My Goddess. Pretty much everyone here -- especially from the Celestial Planes -- has a name with the form of Luke Nounverber -- but they're not purely Rule of Cool, they're typically descriptive names.

 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy

 * Mission From God: His Trial of Ascendance, in which.
 * Nigh Invulnerability: He is actually invulnerable to . But he's pretty damn tough to everything else, being a half Physical God and half Detian.
 * Physical God: Son of Gryphon and Skuld Ravenhair. After his trial, God of Mecha.
 * The Prophesied One: Corwin's nickname, as a running joke in the family. Urd said that Corwin was the fulfillment of some ancient prophecy, but doesn't even remember saying it due to being drunk on sake at the time. Yes, the Norn of Memory forgot.
 * Simple Staff: Uses a Draconic warstaff in battle.

Verthandi/Belldandy Wishbringer Morisato

Baldr/Balder Goldenlight

 * Physical God: God of the Sun
 * Boisterous Bruiser
 * Living MacGuffin: In his connection to the Ragnarok, and the location of Corwin's trial.
 * Nigh Invulnerability: Though, as in Norse Mythology, the "nigh" part is pretty important to the story. But it's a lot bigger problem than some mistletoe.

Freyja Lightwalker

 * Fantastic Racism: Against svartelves

Akio Ohtori/

 * Affably Evil
 * Big Bad
 * Eternal Hero: Subverted hard. As the former Rose Prince, his Face Heel Turn was exceptionally bad. For why, see episode 34 of Utena.

 * More Than Mind Control: Not explicitly detailed (thank Aunt Bell!), but implied to be a combination of . Yikes.

Vigdis Brightblade

 * Voluntary Shapeshifting: Can switch between winged cat, elf-like humanoid, and full dragon shapes, although the latter seems to exhaust him if maintained for too long. (Then again, he's still quite young by draconic standards; presumably it'll stop being exhausting when he's older.)

Surtur

 * Big Bad
 * He Who Must Not Be Seen
 * The Man Behind the Man
 * Physical God

Teleute

 * Physical God
 * Perky Goth
 * The Grim Reaper
