Line 54:
----
* [[Hot Teacher]]: While none of the students have said so openly, Yussef and Luke have commented on her looks while not at school, as have extras not associated with the school.
* [[The Obi -Wan]]: While she isn't dead yet, Signum crosses this with [[Cool Teacher]] for Laura.
* [[Older and Wiser]]: While still an active participant in the Deva Series, from ''Academy Blues'' on the series focuses a great deal on the students, somewhat placing Signum in this role.
 
Line 109:
* {{spoiler|[[Happily Married]]: gives no sign of discontent in her [[Relationship Upgrade]] with Yuuno, though they have been [[Out of Focus]], as the Deva Series focuses on Hayate and the students.}}
* [[Oh Crap]]: still induces this in others, especially Noriko when Nanoha, as a visiting instructor in Noriko's first year, defends destroying a workroom as a simple accident due to momentary surprise.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: [[Tropers/Daishi Prime|Daishi Prime]] has had issues with the spelling of Nanoha's surname, based on a dodgy fansub and repeated (and different!) corrections from reviewers. He also prefers the original fansub name for her device, Raging Heart, based on her habit of [[Defeat Means Friendship|befriending]] [[Stuff Blowing Up|everything in sight]].
 
== Scrya, Yuuno ==
Line 120:
 
----
* {{spoiler|[[Happily Married]]: Gives every evidence of this, though he does worry after being attacked that Nanoha will be unhappy with him over it – for not including her. Due to an [[AuthorsAuthor's Saving Throw]], he took Nanoha's surname when they were married.}}
* [[Mid -Season Upgrade]]: In ''Endless Waltz'', he gives in to Nanoha's worries and accepts a spare Bureau device (which he named Desu).
 
== Testarossa, Fate ==
Line 165:
'''Appearance:''' A man of slightly below average height, broad shoulders, and narrow face, Takashi appears indefinably Oriental. His black hair is kept military short, his face is always clean shaven, and his dark eyes rarely blink. He always wears an all-black version of the Bureau Enforcer uniform, with a glossy-black patch of a serpentine dragon's head over his heart. He has an alternate form of a black western-style dragon with shredded wings.
 
Takashi has learned [[Et Tu, Brute?|what it is like to be deeply and utterly betrayed]], and what it is to have everything and have it all torn away. He trusts slowly these days, and never completely. Conversely, he is extremely protective of what he considers his, and has determined that, when he and his are threatened, the only effective response is the utter annihilation of the source of the threat. To his way of thinking, the only remnant he has of his wife is Hayate, Sara's heir in skill and power, if not blood, thus he is extremely protective of her.
 
----
* [[Anti -Hero]]: A rather dark [[Sliding Scale of Anti -Heroes|Type IV]].
* [[Badass]]: Takashi is generally presented as one of the most dangerous combatants in the series. At one point, he wipes out a pirate fleet around a colony world with just a pair of spells.
* [[Breath Weapon]]: In his draconic form can breathe forth a cloud of green gas that is corrosive in some form.
Line 245:
 
----
* [[Absent -Minded Professor]]
* [[The Ace]]: Sara has elements of this, having single-handedly sealed Class One Lost Logia. The only Class One in the first two series was the Book of Darkness, which took every major character in the series at the time to handle.
* [[Ditzy Genius]]: Implied by Takashi to be this – when they got married, he apparently had to make all the arrangements. And her 'wedding gift'? She transitioned him into a Deva Mage, her own style of magic, while he was asleep and without asking him, because she wanted to share her magic with him and couldn't conceive of him having any issues with that. In contrast, she created the series' titular magic system as a teenager, because she was curious about a discrepancy she noticed in the energy structures of inter-dimensional teleports.
Line 299:
 
----
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Princesses]]
* [[The Ojou]]
* [[Petal Power]]
Line 431:
----
* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]: To assist with infiltration, in ''Endless Waltz'' Fate teaches Allison a dangerous teleport technique that she reverse-engineered from Takashi's/Akira's teleport from ''Path of Vengeance''.
* [[Dark -Skinned Redhead]]: As half-Irish/half-Native American, she always claims to have her father's hair and her mother's face.
* [[Halfbreed]]: Allison's father immigrated to the US from Ireland in his teens. Her mother is Navajo through and through. Allison is both sensitive and proud about both heritages.
* [[He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Walks into this before demonstrating her Device.
* Invisibility: This is Allison's major ability, and she is very good at it.
* [[No Holds Barred Beatdown]]: Allison's second-most preferred style of combat, as a result of her father's teachings – "if you're forced into a fight, make sure the other guy doesn't get up again." 'If' you see her coming, you 'might' be able to walk again, eventually.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Has shades of this going on with Noah, as the Red Oni.
* [[Stealth Expert]]: Allison's ''most'' preferred style of combat. Bad as it is when you see her coming, you usually won't. Even before developing her Cloak of Shades spell, Allison was an experienced hunter, [[Knife Nut|with a preference for a knife over a gun]].
 
Line 457:
----
* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Noah's stock-in-trade, he has a knack for stable force-effects such as shields, meaning his shields are an order of magnitude stronger than they should be.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Has shades of this going on with Allison, as the Blue Oni.
 
== Al Musab, Cidela ==
Line 567:
* [[Loners Are Freaks]]: Even before picking up her eye, Natalia was the most reserved and remote of Hayate's students.
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
* {{spoiler|[[Split Personality]]: What began as an assumed persona to keep the curious at bay after ''Academy Blues'' developed into a full-blown split personality after her [[Face Heel Turn]]. Unable to actually deal with the cost of her actions and her brother's disappointment with her, Natalia is now protected by ''[[Super -Powered Evil Side|Precia Testarossa]]''.}}
 
== Senizawa, Toushiro ==
Line 676:
 
----
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Samurai]]: Kaemon's a fan of Samurai, especially the ideals.
* [[Good Old Ways]]: Kaemon's a mild/idealistic traditionalist, and has some difficulty with the relaxed attitude on the campus, especially towards Noriko. One does not refer to a member of the Imperial Family by name without extensive permissions, and certainly ''never'' anything as familiar as '-chan'.
