{{Characters need descriptions}}
This page lists all characters in ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'', the first game of the ''[[Neptunia]]'' series, and the tropes associated with them. Tropes specific to their portrayal in the other games of the series belong on the pages for those games.
== CPUs (Hyper Dimension)==
=== General CPU Tropes ===
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
{{quote|"Nepgear ain't never going to marry! I'm banning the idea forever!"}}
** She doesn't seem to mind Nepgear and Uni's [[Ship Tease]] though.
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: [
** They were trying to capture Black Heart but got Noire.
* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: Her DLC weapon is this.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
{{hardline}}
===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Rina Sato]] (Japanese), [[Tara Platt]] (English)}}
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
** [[Determinator]]: Takes a lot of punishment {{spoiler|before she finally is killed in the Conquest Ending of mk2/Rebirth2.}}
** [[Lady of War]]: As Green Heart, somewhat downplayed version in non HDD form.
** [[Pop
* [[Blade on a Stick]]
** [[This Is a Drill]] Green Heart's spears transform into these.
Line 76 ⟶ 77:
* [[Detached Sleeves]]: Both of her forms wear outfits that have this.
* [[Gamer Chick]]
* [[Girls Love]]: She's not the type to go looking for it (IF in Rebirth 1 excepted), but she is definitely flattered to be on the receiving end of it.
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[Heavy Sleeper]]: When you see Green Heart for the first time, she's [[Heavy Sleeper|just waking up]] and ''goes back to sleep'' while IF was talking with her. A [[Narm Charm|funny nod]] to the "Red Ring of Death".
Line 85 ⟶ 87:
* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]: Blonde, Blue Eye, Busty American.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Tall Blonde And Bishoujo]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Vert was
* [[The Nicknamer]]: She doesn't create them herself, but she picks up upon nicknames Compa assigns characters, and enjoys using them as a means to be less formal.
* [[Underboobs]]: She plays this trope straight. Neptune even refers to her as such.
Line 92 ⟶ 94:
{{hardline}}
=== [[
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Asami Imai]] (Japanese), [[Erin Fitzgerald]] (English)}}
Line 99 ⟶ 101:
CPU of Lastastion in the first two games, represents the original Playstation in Victory/Rebirth 3.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Usually a variation of "Only does everything". A reference to how the [[
* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]: In one cutscene, Noire is implied to be one.
* [[Detached Sleeves]]: Both of her forms wear outfits that have this.
Line 129 ⟶ 131:
* [[Butch Lesbian]]: Neptune calls Blanc this in her recruitment scene.
* [[Crack Pairing]]: Neptune [[Invoked Trope|suggests]] that maybe Blanc has a thing for Compa, just because Blanc was complaining that Neptune doesn't get upset over being insulted like Compa would.
* [[Detached Sleeves]]: Both of her forms wear outfits that have this.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Blanc's main weapon is a hammer.
** [[An Axe to Grind]]: The hammer turns into an axe when she becomes White Heart.
Line 141 ⟶ 143:
* [[My Sister Is Off-Limits|My Sisters Are Off Limits]]: Like Neptune, she says as much in her character info page.
* [[Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls]]: Her hobby is writing light novels, and one of her aspirations in life is to get the Gamindustri Amateur Writer's Prize.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Blanc in any incarnation save her initial HDD form wears a spiffy hat. She even got an even nicer hat to go with her NEXT form in ''[[Megadimension Neptunia VII]]''.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: As White Heart.
Line 172 ⟶ 174:
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Tries to take on a dragon at the behest of "Chika" and almost gets owned by it before being rescued by Cave.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Both she and Nisa think she's a [[Jack of All Stats]] when she's really this. If you play her right, she's a good tank, dishes out damage harder than the rest, is a required character to all of the [[Combination Attack]]s and yet the [[Irony]]? She's a [[Game Breaker]] if you place her as a ''support role'' because she's the only one who can ''get rid of the [[Cap|Damage Cap]]'' allowing other characters to damage enemies beyond 9999.
* [[Lonely
{{quote|'''Nepgear''': "{{spoiler|This is the dark path that I've chosen to walk alone.}}"}}
* [[Mix-and-Match Weapon]]: As Purple Sister, she wields a rifle with a sword attached to it.
Line 180 ⟶ 182:
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: While Purple Heart has a black dominant costume, Purple Sister has a white dominant costume.
* [[Stripperific]]: Her powered up costume.
* [[Took a Level
* {{spoiler|[[Villain Protagonist]]: Becomes one in the Conquest End.}}
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Her Beam Rifle as Nepgear and the [[Creator Cameo|Inafune Beam]].
Line 199 ⟶ 201:
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: In her power up Black Sister version.
* [[Boring but Practical]]: Charley Horse! does no damage nor does it help guard break, but it will lower even a boss's avoidance so someone else can actually start doing damage.
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Mostly explained by her weapons being energy based, though some do appear to fire ballistic rounds, though this may still be in effect since she apparently uses her CPU power to replenish the ammo.
* [[Breast Expansion]]: Inverted. Turning into Black Sister causes her to flatten, and this actually gets brought up by Nepgear at one point.
** Turns into a [[Running Gag]] in later games, much to her consternation.
* [[Camera Abuse]]: One of her skills kicks the camera and shuts it off. It's used to lower the accuracy of enemies.
* [[Expy]]: Of Noire.
* [[Gangsta Style]]: Averted most of the time, Uni does use proper gun discipline, but justified for her gun as Black Sister, since due to it's sheer size and the fact it's basically the love child of a rail gun and plasma cannon, she'd have to hold it sideways to discharge most of the recoil without her aim being too badly affected.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Hers and Nepgear's interactions in the second game are much like how Neptune and Noire's interactions went.
* [[Gun Nut]]: Her and K-Sha can be found discussing various gun modifications in Megadimension Neptunia VII, and it's noted she has as much love for guns as Nepgear does for mecha.
* [[Hair Decorations]]
* [[I Call It "Vera"]]: Her "Unigunov" weapon in Megadimension Neptunia, since she designed it.
* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]: Some of her attacks involve spraying ammo everywhere, with so-so accuracy at times.
** One of her attacks is essentially emptying a full magazine while pivoting in tune with the recoil to make sure all the bullets fly in a 45 degree angle arc. While a sensible tactic, the horrid accuracy is reflected accurately by the attack missing at least a full third of the aimed rounds anyway.
* [[Irony]]: Nepgear may be the mecha geek, but it's Uni who winds up befriending mecha based entities like CFW Brave in the second game and later Steamax in VII.
* [[Love Confession]]: In her character info quotes, and surprisingly short and simple.
{{quote|"I love you Nepgear."}}
* [[Mega Twintails]]
* [[More Dakka]]: Her better attack combos pile on the fired rounds.
* [[Named Weapons]]: {{spoiler|After you kill Brave The Hard for the final time (that is, in the True Ending), Brave powers up her Black Sister weapon and gives her the Brave Cannon.}}
** She even gets a gun on [[Megadimension Neptunia VII]] called the Unigunov, called such since she designed it herself.
* [[Stripperific]]: As Black Sister
* [[Swiss Army Gun]]: While the gun itself doesn't change it's entire appearance to do so, she can convert any of her weapons to switch between laser and ballistic weapons firing modes, as well as switching from assault rifle to shotgun to grenade launcher/recoil-less rifle firing modes during her attacks.
* [[Tsundere]]: Towards Nepgear.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: As Black Sister.
{{hardline}}
=== [[Nintendo DS|Ram/White Sister]](mk2/Rebirth 1/2 appearance) ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Kaori Ishihara (Japanese)}}
Line 253 ⟶ 268:
=== General Maker Tropes ===
* [[Moe Anthropomorphism]]: Of video game producers.<ref>Tekken is something of an exception, being representative of the Tekken series, since her parent company makes many series and thus Tekken was created to represent the creators of the series of the same name instead.</ref>
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: In most settings these characters would be considered fairly powerful. Only problem is they're working with a bunch of [[Physical
** This trope can be zigzagged in the second game and remake, where you have to rely on the Maker characters to do most of the fighting for a majority of the game, since over half the CPUs can be recruited at much lower levels, {{spoiler|and if you go for the Conquest ending, they can pull off a dark twist on [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] by helping to kill most of the CPUs.}}
** And is subverted at times when the CPUs are depowered or lower in level, in which cases they become [[Crutch Character]]s, and even when this is not the case the maker characters tend to have some redeeming virtues like a greater healing skill set, more elemental attack variety, or cheaper support magic.
=== IF<ref>short for Idea Factory</ref> ===
Line 263 ⟶ 279:
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: Commonly referred to as Iffy or Ai-chan, depending on game region. She even endorses these nicknames, being less awkward to say than her actual name.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: IF wears one.
* [[Bifurcated Weapon]]: IF's weapon looks like some [[Wolverine Claws]] with guns attached to it. It's also the only way she shoots at enemies. This was excised in the Rebirth games, where she sticks with blades exclusively, and in the animation where she uses small handguns instead.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: With all of the [[Les Yay]] in the game, it's somewhat surprising that a lot more of it involves her than Neptune. [[Fan Girl|Unless the character in question is Vert or 5pb]] she's not amused by this.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Comes up both in Chirper events and her character info page quotes.
Line 272 ⟶ 288:
{{quote|'''IF (early in the game):''' As expected. Not worth celebrating, but... nice.
'''IF (towards the end of the game):''' [[Hypocritical Humor|No way... am I dreaming? Awesome, we're so awesome! Yay!]] }}
** Toned down somewhat in Rebirth 1, where the warming up period happens somewhat faster.
* [[Fan Girl]]: IF states that she is a fangirl of 5pb. In the original Neptunia and Rebirth 1, she was one for Vert.
* [[Impractically Fancy Outfit]]: Her sleeves are a bit too long and get in the way of the built in guns to her [[Blade Below the Shoulder|Qatars and Claws]]. She may point this out, or [[No Fourth Wall|scold you]] for just not noticing this problem, while using gun attacks.
** Downplayed in the remakes, where it's stated she prefers to buy her coats oversized to hide her bladed weapons, though the outfits still look fancy yet ill fitting in animations.
Line 280 ⟶ 297:
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[Not So Stoic]]: While she'll try to keep things serious, she'll go into a [[Heroic BSOD]] over her phones breaking or start blatantly [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] when [[Rage Breaking Point|pushed too far]].
* [[Only Sane Man]]: While she has her own oddities and quirks, she's basically this to both Compa and Neptune.
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: In mkII 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.
{{quote|'''Nepgear''': That reminds me, [[What Exactly Is Her Job|I wanted to ask what your organization actually...does.]]<br />
Line 285 ⟶ 303:
'''Nepgear''': That all sounds pretty wicked.<br />
'''IF''': Don't get the wrong idea. We've only handled criminal syndicates lately. }}
* [[Power Trio]]: Her, Neptune, and Compa.
* [[Supporting Leader]]: Right from the start she points out that it's actually [[Supporting Protagonist|Neptune]] joining her. She's the one with all the connections and she's the one that figures things out, but she tends to let Neptune and Compa stay in the spotlight. Though the [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] quests for new characters [[A Day in the Limelight|focus quite a bit on her]], Neptune and Compa receive a passing mention at best.
* [[Straight Man|Straight Woman]]: In one of the Chirper events, Neptune tells her that she can "take the role of the straight-faced punchline chick."
** Amusingly inverted if you check out the comments on her special attacks, which reveal they were all dreamed up after what must have been a [[Dungeons
* [[Team Dad]]
* [[Too Many Belts]]: IF's design looks like she has a ton of belts on her clothes.

{{hardline}}
=== Compa<ref>short for Compile Heart</ref> ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Kanako Sakai]] (Japanese), [[Cristina Valenzuela]] (English)}}
Line 305 ⟶ 325:
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: Compa delivers one as one of her normal attacks.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Badass Adorable]]: Especially as a little kid.
** [[Deadly Doctor]]: She discusses with Nepgear how to use her syringe as a weapon. Nepgear is understandably worried.
{{quote|'''Compa''': "Besides, syringes are easy to use. You can whack, thrust, or inject something into your opponent."
Line 319 ⟶ 340:
* [[Dojikko]]: Compa always seems to fall down whenever she is shown after a battle all the time. We do get to see a [[Panty Shot]] every single time.
* [[Girly Run]]
* [[Kill Sat]]: Her most powerful skill only obtainable via [[Downloadable Content|DLC]].
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: [[Afraid of Needles|Giant Syringes that double as guns]].
{{quote|'''Compa''': [[Deadly Doctor|"This]]''[[Deadly Doctor|will]]'' [[Deadly Doctor|hurt!"]]}}
Line 325 ⟶ 346:
* [[Panty Shot]]: Compa has one as part of her victory "pose".
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]
* [[Sweater Girl]]: As an adult and as a child, though the design is different in each case.
* [[Team Mom]]
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
Line 335 ⟶ 357:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: [[Unwitting Pawn|Will secretly take advantage of people]] [[Asshole Victim|trying to do so to her]], [[Magnificent Bastard|while 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.]] {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?|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.}}
* [[Exiled From Continuity]]: In the Rebirth games.
* [[Expressive Accessory]]: Her hat sometimes matches her expressions.
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: Her revival skills have been known to not work right and just heal her, considerably lowering her use in battle.
Line 347 ⟶ 370:
{{hardline}}
=== [[Nippon Ichi|Nisa/Nippon Ichi]] ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Kaori Mizuhashi]] (Japanese), [[Michelle Ruff]] (English)}}
Line 359 ⟶ 383:
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Her name was changed from Nippon Ichi to Nisa, to represent NIS America.
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: [[Calling Your Attacks|Justice Kick!]]
* [[Exiled From Continuity]]: In the Rebirth games.
* [[Flechette Storm]]: She throws a lot of knives at a group of enemies ''then'' throws a [[Disgaea|Prinny]] as the final blow. [[Made of Explodium|It explodes of course.]]
* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]
Line 364 ⟶ 389:
{{quote|'''Nisa''': "[[Big Yes|Yes]], on [[Good Feels Good|justice!]]"}}
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Optional Party Member]]: Both Nisa and Gust are, and with some [[Downloadable Content|DLC]], they can become playable as well.
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]
* [[Screaming Warrior]]
* [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: Prinny Gun. It's a gun and a [[Laser Blade]].
Line 376 ⟶ 401:
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
* [[Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling]]: With MAGES. as the foolish one.
* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]: They debate over whether or not to eat someone else's sweets mostly.
* [[Headphones Equal Isolation]]
Line 381 ⟶ 407:
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: She gets one when she finds IF watching her in one of the scenes.
* [[The Medic]]: The only character capable of healing the party outside of the [[Scrappy Mechanic|Item Skills]]. As with everything she does, the [[Power of Rock]] is involved. Specifically suddenly being on stage, performing a short [[Instrumental Theme Tune|Instrumental version]] of [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Ryuusei no Bifrost]].
** Defied in the Rebirth remakes, where healing skills were spread around a lot more.
* [[Not Good with People]]: While incredibly confident while singing or on the radio, at any other time she becomes incredibly timid and shy. [[Fan Girl|IF intends to help her get over this problem.]]
* [[The Power of Rock]]: Her method of employing magical attacks, and her stats are skewed in favor of this over resorting to [[Instrument of Murder|beating things to death with her guitar.]]
* [[Optional Party Member]]: With some [[Downloadable Content|DLC]] she becomes playable. Otherwise she's just seen on Hi-Five Radio, reading off what various NPCs have to say about the party after finishing quests.
** Required character in Rebirth 2, though this trope still applies in Rebirth 3.
* [[Panty Shot]]: The only character [[Statuesque Stunner|tall enough]] to have the [[Male Gaze|camera look up her skirt while running around in dungeons unless you go out of your way to move it]].
* [[The Power of Rock]]: Her method of employing Elemental Attacks, and her stats are skewed in favor of this over resorting to [[Instrument of Murder|beating things to death with her guitar.]]
Line 391 ⟶ 419:
* [[Stage Name]]: Her real name is [[Meaningful Name|Lyrica]], though [[Only Known by Their Nickname|almost no one knows it.]]
* [[Stripperific]]: One of the few cases where this is justified, as she is an [[Idol Singer]], and thus her outfit is ''supposed'' to be alluring.
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: To {{spoiler|MAGES.
{{hardline}}
Line 404 ⟶ 432:
* [[Everything's Better with Spinning]]
* [[Everything's Worse with Bees]]: 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 [[Don Pachi|game]] this references.
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: None of her equipment from the store is kept in your inventory in a [[New Game+]], 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. Defied in the Rebirth remakes.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]
* [[Large Ham]]: Somehow her [[Power Walk]], her flinging of her hair, and her [[Limit Break]] must be done with such ham for someone who's quiet. [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Kind of like someone actually.]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: WHich looks like a modified maid hat.
* [[Optional Party Member]]:
* [[Red Headed Heroine]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: She is mostly the Blue Oni to 5pb.'s Red Oni. Though in some aspects, notably the extrovert/introvert detail, they are reversed.
* [[Showgirl Skirt]]
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: A lot of her moves involve a lot of explosions.
{{hardline}}
Line 433 ⟶ 461:
* [[Sixth Ranger]]
* [[Skunk Stripe]]: Has a couple of these. One by her face, the other at the tip of the R in her hair.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Doesn't appear in later games in the original canon, since the company she's based on was bought out by a Chinese firm. Averted for the Rebirth remakes, when she reappears in Rebirth 2/3.
=== [[Nihon Falcom|Falcom]] ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Akemi Kanda]] (Japanese), Xanthe Huynh (English)}}
{{sidebar | content1 =
<tabber>
Falcom (UD/Rebirth 1)=
Line 445 ⟶ 473:
[[File:Falcom.png|frame]]
</tabber>
}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Her voice actress voiced [[Legend of Heroes VI|Estelle Bright]], the heroine of another [[Nihon Falcom]]'s famous franchise.
Line 450 ⟶ 479:
* [[BFS]]
* [[Expy]]: To [[Ys|Adol]] of course.
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: None of her equipment from the store is kept in your inventory in a [[New Game+]], 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, though this is defied in the Rebirth versions.
* [[Optional Party Member]]: Through DLC.
* [[Never the Selves Shall Meet]]; Defied in Victory/Rebirth 3, where they can do just that.
* [[Pen Name]]: Alod Christin (Adell Christine in Rebirth 2)
* [[Red Headed Heroine]]
* [[Sword Beam]]
* [[Talking to Herself]]; Literally in Victory/Rebirth 3, where her Hyoer and Ultradimensional selves can meet and fight together.
{{break}}
=== [[Tekken]] ===
Line 460 ⟶ 492:
* [[Combat Sadomasochist]]: Getting hurt in combat turns her on.
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Nice Girl]]: Very happy go lucky by default.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Her default outfit, justified due to its condition.
Line 467 ⟶ 500:
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: Broccoli is very blunt.
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Neptune calls her Puchiko. Broccoli does not like being called that at all.
* [[Nice Hat]]: The cat ear like hat she wears, along with it's variants from her other hat choices.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Despite looking like a child, Broccoli is very mature and levelheaded for her age.
{{hardline}}
=== [[MAGES.]] ===
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: While she is brilliant, she's also prone to making pretend phone calls to some nonexistent colleagues about a mysterious "Organization".
* [[Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling]]: With 5pb. as the levelheaded one.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: While occasionally let go some impressive deranged sounding laughter in her menu voice commentary.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: With [[Magitek]] based inventions, but otherwise the same principle holds.
* [[Nice Hat]]: A wizard style hat with two gears wrapped around it's sides.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: The period is part of the name. She even chides Neptune for leaving it off in Rebirth 1.
* [[Strange Bedfellows]]: With young IF in Victory/Rebirth 3, and to a lesser extent Nepgear, with whom she bonds over their shared love of science, though even Nepgear finds MAGES. quite quirky despite this.
* [[Strange Girl]]: Even self admitted as "mad", for reasons described above.
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Her and 5pb. share the exact same beauty mark below the right eye.
* [[Troll]]: Loves to annoy Noire by calling her "assistant" and gets her kicks trolling Vert on [[Reddit|Neppit]].

== Oracles ==
=== Histoire (Hyperdimension) ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Mika Kanai]] (Japanese), [[Stephanie Sheh]] (English)}}
Line 480 ⟶ 529:
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: Histy
* '''[[Badass]]''' - Is insanely powerful even at low levels when playable.
** [[Lady of Black Magic]]: Her skill set leans heavily in this direction, though she's not lacking in the [[White Magic]] department either.
* [[Big Good]]
* [[Great Big Book of Everything]]: Unfortunately it'll take [[Running Gag|three days]] for her to find the information needed in her, so it's better to just go out and figure things out without her.
* [[Our Fairies Are Different]]: She's also a book.
* [[Promoted to Playable]]: In Rebirth 1/2/3, as her HDN2 incarnation.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Becomes a plot point in ''[[Megadimension Neptunia VII]]''. {{spoiler|Her hat was the inspiration for Orange Heart's hat}}.
* [[Physical God]]: Can't do anything without the other Goddesses' consent though.
* [[Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory]]: Possess this trait, as she is, before being an Oracle of Planeptune, the recorder of all history in Gamindustri, thus everything that happens is recorded by her in some fashion. In MDN VII, this becomes a [[Chekhov's Gun]] {{spoiler|Since it renders her immune to the rewrite of Gamindustri that replaced the CPUs with the Gold Third. She knows this occured and was incorporated into the rewrite, but still remembers everything prior to the rewrite, which provides her the ability to get Neptune into the Basilicom on her own authority since no one else remembers her}}.

=== Mina Nishizawa ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Sayaka Nakaya (Japanese)}}
Line 493 ⟶ 546:
[[File:Mina Neptunia 6112.jpg|frame]]
* [[
** [[Badass Adorable]]: Tends to be sweet and adorable. She's also a very skilled mage and competent fighter in her own right.
** [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Rom and Ram are CPU Candidates, but if she gets mad at them, they are terrified. Rarely happens, unless they are being very rude or unruly though.
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: After Ram and Rom are saved from Trick, pretty much the only thing she takes away from the situation is that [[Squick|licking someone can be a sign of affection]]. Nepgear honestly hopes that she was joking.
* [[Meganekko]]
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[Promoted to Playable]]: Unlockable in Rebirth 2. Does not appear in Rebirth 3 in the story, but is unlockable via DLC.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
{{hardline}}
=== Chika Hakozaki ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Yuka Komatsu (Japanese), Michelle Ann Dunphy (English)}}
Line 505 ⟶ 562:
[[File:Chika 40.jpg|frame]]
* [[Badass]]: She's basically a Vert clone skillset wise, with the stats to match.
* [[Drama Queen]]: Boy, does she go off for the stupidest reasons. However, {{spoiler|during the Conquest Ending, she has a genuine reason to cry and [[Big No|scream]].}}
* [[Hair Decorations]]
* [[Homoerotic Subtext]]: Seems to be ''waaaaaaaaaay'' obsessive with Vert.
** Were it not for her occasional denials this wouldn't even be able to be considered subtext. They share a bed, Vert knows her well enough that she can tell perfectly when [[Playing Sick|she is or isn't pretending to be sick]], and apparently Chika is usually more willing to play around during Vert's massages. Chika can also be seen [[Skinship Grope|grabbing Vert's chest]] while [[Squee|looking extremely happy]] doing so in the True Ending.
* [[Incest Subtext]]: Claims Vert and her are like sisters. See above to understand why this is in question.
* [[Promoted to Playable]]: In Rebirth 2 as a secret character. Unlockable in Rebirth 3 as a DLC character.
* [[Wingding Eyes]]: Gets hearts in her eyes whenever Vert is involved.

* [[Badass Bureaucrat]]: Prefers the business world to fighting, but is quite capable of holding her own in a fight.
* [[Berserk Button]]: [[I Lied|Breaking promises]].
* [[Bifauxnen]]; You could be easily fooled into thinking Kei's a boy.
* [[But Now I Must Go]]: Decides to leave to Go on to other ventures after the second game.
* [[Promoted to Playable]]: In Rebirth 2 as a secret character, and in 3 as DLC.
* [[The Spock]]:

=== Ganache ===
Line 532 ⟶ 597:
* [[Affably Evil]]: He may be a jackass, but he's ''polite'' about it, going as far as to turn on the lights when he had Neptune and her party trapped because "total darkness" would be too cruel.
* [[Fan Boy]]: Of Lady Blanc. Or rather, a [[Mary Sue]] interpretation of her in Rebirth 1.
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]
** {{spoiler|[[Evil Genius]]}}
Line 547 ⟶ 613:
* [[The Faceless]]: Standard with NPC's of the game. Averted in Rebirth 1, where he has a face portrait.
* [[Willfully Weak]]: {{spoiler|He was the founder of Avenir, however, he has the rank of a regular employee. This was [[All According to Plan|all part of his plan]] however.}}
** Is a high ranking executive, but otherwise appliues in Rebirth 1.
{{hardline}}
=== Jade (original game character, does not show up in Rebirth 1) ===
Line 573 ⟶ 641:
* [[Corrupt Church]]: Is the leader of it and it doesn't ''begin'' to describe him.
** {{spoiler|To put things in perspective, he tried to get IF to poison Neptune, ''went ahead and did it himself'', then arrested all three girls as "criminals". Jade later goes into more detail about Yvoire, going on about how he destroyed any documents pertaining to the purge of the Guild, refusing to acknowledge the atrocities committed.}}
** Rebirth
* [[Jerkass]]: Remember Ganache? Yvoire is a friggin' competitor for his title at this.
* [[Leave Your Quest Test]]: Gives IF an offer {{spoiler|to become a Leanbox citizen, so she can worship Lady Green Heart freely}}.

** In the Rebirth remake, {{spoiler|she was mortal, had a hand in the creation of the CPUs, tries to seize their power to be one}}.
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Subverted given that even some of her shape shifted forms either hide most of her features or are ripoffs of actual good people. Her default look is basically [[Evil Is Sexy]] incarnate. {{spoiler|In the True Ending, we get to see this trope be played straight, featuring a normal flesh toned Arfoire with grey hair, a gentle smile, and normal ears, still looking attractive yet not evil}}.
* [[Blade on a Stick]]
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: One of her death quotes is "[[I Can Still Fight|I can still...]] '''''[[I Can Still Fight|I CAN STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...!!!]]'''''"

* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: Ganache certainly thinks so.
* [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]]: The personification of this.

** Funnily enough, {{spoiler|her true form IS a dragon.}}
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Magiquone in Japan, which is their equivalent of the R4.
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: In the [[Golden Ending|True Ending]], complete with [[Good Costume Switch]]}}
* [[Mega Manning]]: Her powers. Appropriate, given she is the personification of game piracy.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Always some type of witch style hat.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: Happens a few times.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]
* [[Paper Thin Disguise]]: Her "Coversation" guise has her exact same voice and mannerisms.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: BIG TIME for [[Chiaki Takahashi|her seiyuu]]. Arfoire is devoid of all sympathetic virtues many of her roles, even antagonistic ones, though it's probably intentional.
* [[Shape Shifter]]: Can turn into a red headed NPC named "Conversation"<ref>pronounced in the French manner</ref> and given her powers, can morph into many other forms.

* [[Came Back Wrong]]: In the True End, {{spoiler|her desire to serve under Arfoire becomes a [[Omnicidal Maniac|desire to ensure everything]] [[The Assimilator|becomes one with her.]]}}
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Artwork for the sequel shows her facing off against the four Goddesses, [[Badass|alone]]. The result would seem to be the four of them [[Badass in Distress|being captured and bound]] by [[Naughty Tentacles]].
* [[The Dragon]]: She's this to Arfoire in the sequel.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Much like Arfoire, she too has a revealing outfit that goes nicely with her puppy kicking deeds.
* [[Evil Redhead]]
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]
* [[Expy]]: To the first game's version of Arfoire.
* [[Fan Girl]]: The personification of this, being one for Arfoire.
* [[Most Common Superpower]]: Not a single one of the heroines surpasses the size of her rack. Not even Thunder Tits.<ref>For reference, the bust of Green Heart, the heroine with the biggest breasts, is sized at 93cm F-cup, then 95cm G-cup post-powerup. Magic's? 98cm H-cup.</ref>

* [[Lolicon]]: Even Linda has trouble getting along with him because of this.
** One of the ''main'' reasons [[Same Content, Different Rating|why the second game has a Mature rating]] is because [http://www.siliconera.com/2012/01/03/come-come-and-sit-on-daddys-lap-well-explore-hyperdimension-neptunia-mk2s-esrb/ of him.]
** The game was rerated to Teen for Rebirth 2, but he's barely any different.

=== Linda/Underling ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' [[Junko Minagawa]] (Japanese)}}
Line 706 ⟶ 786:
* [[Avenging the Villain]]: The final fight against her in the True Ending is because {{spoiler|[[Revenge Before Reason|she wants revenge]] for them [[It's Personal|killing Magic twice]]}}, hoping that maybe [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|she can kill them before]] [[The End of the World as We Know It|Arfoire destroys the world]].
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Linda is disgusted by CFW Trick's behavior towards Rom and Ram.
* [[Fan Girl]]: Some of her dialog implies that she's one for Magic.
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]: So much so that ''the game eventually stops bothering to make her a boss fight.''
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: It's really hard to feel sorry for her when Sadie has her way with Underling in the anime, {{spoiler|especially when her faked [[Heel Face Turn]] is discovered}}.
** In the Conquest Ending {{spoiler|her death is the only one both Nepgear and the player can feel good about and was justly earned considering her actions at the time.}}
* [[Master of Disguise]]: Makes a convincing disguise as Chika.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: She actually gets a chance to cross it in the Conquest Ending. {{spoiler|She is beating on a nearly dead Vert with the intent of killing her, and when called on it, states they have no right to complain since they were killing each other anyway, which doesn't wash as it was in pursuit of a very regrettable [[Save The World]] plan and required the [[Necessarily Evil|The CPUs to kill one another to work]], whereas Underling just decided to be a cold blooded bastard because she wanted to be}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Not So Different]]: During the Conquest End, after she has beaten Vert to an inch of her life, the heroines state that what she has done is [[This Is Unforgivable!|unforgivable]]. Underling's counter-statement is saying she just did what they were trying to do a moment ago, and that they should thank her. What she gets for that? [[Shut UP, Hannibal|A sword to the stomach, that's what!]]}}
* [[Not What I Signed on For]]: After Magic tells her that everything [[The Assimilator|will be absorbed into Arfoire]] and [[Kick the Son of a Bitch|tries to kill her]], she realizes that Magic [[Came Back Wrong|has changed]] and that things are more extreme than she first thought and [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|bails]].

=== Pirachu/Warechu (Hyper Dimension) ===
{{quote|'''Voiced by:''' Neeko (Japanese)}}
* [[Dub Name Change]]: Was Warechu in Japan. Reverted back to Warechu in the
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: [[Played For Laughs]]. Basically depends on whether Compa is in the vicinity or not. If so, he'll do everything from wavering on doing something bad to outright spilling his guts about whatever evil scheme is going on.
* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: Temporarily ends up completely massive [[Comes Great Insanity|and completely insane.]] Happens to him again in [[Megadimension Neptunia VII]]
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Probably the sanest ASIC member, with Underling and CFW Brave as close seconds.
Line 728 ⟶ 813:
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: He is rather adorable, and his crush on Compa merely adds to it.
* [[True Companions]]: Even after Underling's begun to [[Revenge Before Reason|go off the deep end]] toward the end, and even after ASIC is ended, he tries to be the voice of reason for her and sticks with her even when she just won't listen.
** In the anime, he's this to Arfoire, who takes on aspects of Underling's interactions in the anime. [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Althougth their relationship still has them snipe at each other nigh constantly.]]
* [[Verbal Tic]]: It's chu, chump!
* [[Villainous Crush]]: Has a crush on Compa after she heals him.
