==== Tropes associated with Hayate: ====
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As Portable (Video Game)|TheBattleOfAces]]''. Compare the TV version, who claims she can't even beat [[White Magician Girl|Caro]] in single combat to the ''Battle of Aces'' version who goes toe-to-toe with copies of [[Badass Crew|her friends]] and kicks ten types of ass in her own story mode. Her final stage is a practice fight with the real Nanoha, which she wins, despite Nanoha's attempt to Starlight Breaker her. Justified since in that continuity Reinforce is teaching her to use the Tome more effectively. Hayate also mentions in the introduction to her story mode that Shamal, Reinforce, Nanoha and Fate have been training her.

* [[Colonel Badass|Lieutenant Colonel Badass]]: Her mage rank, SS, is the highest of any character in the series thus far. This is a composite rank though, so it's only an indication of mana capacity and raw destructive power.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: While still having a very important role to the plot, in ''StrikerS'' due to her commander status she gets less action than her two new friends, or even her bodyguards. The few times she takes to the field, she only gets to fight [[Mecha Mooks]]. ''[[Nanoha Force|Force]]'' somehow makes it worse by having her {{spoiler|get taken out before she managed to complete her first spell}}. Of course if she does use her powers properly, the incidents would be resolved pretty quickly, but still...

* [[Does Not Know Her Own Strength]]: In the side-manga, Hayate informs us that mages who have enormous magical power, such as herself, find it very difficult to execute smaller, faster, more manageable attacks. Hayate's mainstay is wide-area bombardment, to the point that the military issues evacuation notices when she takes the field. Her partner, Reinforce Zwei, helps her with fire-control. Which is odd given that Rein Eins' usage of spells like [[Flechette Storm|Bloody Dagger]] shows a capacity for fighting at the anti-personnel level. When she is without Rein she needs the ENTIRE BRIDGE CREW for helping her aim at TARGET SITES MEASURED IN ACRE-AGE!

* [[Full Potential Upgrade]]: After ''[[Nanoha As|A's]]'', the TSAB technicians were having enormous trouble creating a Device to handle Hayate's insane power output. She kept breaking all of them, so in the end she had to create one on her own.

* [[Glass Cannon]]: Hayate is useless in mage-to-mage close combat and she knows it well, but she's perfectly capable of wiping out entire armies of [[Mecha Mooks]] with her nuclear magic.

* [[Instant Expert]] / [[Possession Implies Mastery]]: Played with. Since she cheated by having her head plugged into an ancient magical tome designed [[Mega Manning|specifically to record spells and magical knowledge]], she has an amazing amount of power and knew how to cast right after she first transformed. While she does have the highest [[Power Level]] in the series, most of her magic is too impractical in a straight up fight because she doesn't know how to tone down her power for small scale work or even ''aim'' properly without help from [[Mission Control]] or Rein.

* [[Never Accepted in His Hometown|Never Accepted In Her Hometown]]: Like Nanoha, is quite famous in the Bureau, apart from those who denounce her as a criminal, but on Earth, is less well-known, and had no friends prior to meeting Suzuka.

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: At least on the same level as Fate and Nanoha at the end of ''[[Nanoha As|A's]]''. By the time of ''[[Striker S (Anime)|Striker S]]'' Hayate's lowest setting is about the same as a bombing run by a squadron of B-52s. Some of her more powerful attacks are easily in the tactical nuke range. She's even referred to as a "walking Lost Logia" in Force.

* [[Reformed but Rejected]]: To a degree. Since she took responsibility for the Wolkenritter's crimes, she's treated as a former criminal, being allowed to serve in the Bureau but facing some suspicion and distrust from people. It's implied that she was made commander of Mobile Division 6 because she would be expendable if it failed.

* [[Skinship Grope]]: In the [[All There in the Manual|Sound Stages]], she seems rather fond of feeling up the other female characters. She only gropes the girls she knows would consent, of course... but she's not above [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma|feeling Signum up when she's asleep so she doesn't have to ask.]]

* [[Stay With the Aliens]]: After graduating from middle school, she moves to live on Mid-Childa. Taking her entire family with her, there's even less that ties her to Earth than Nanoha, and after a visit to Earth for a mission, says that Riot Force 6 is her home.

Justfied because each master designs the armors they wear.

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: The Wolkenritter's previous masters apparently didn't consider them to be people. Hayate ''does'' think they're people though, and that makes all the difference, turning them from coldhearted killers into a [[Badass Family|happy family]].

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: In ''[[Striker S (Anime)|Striker S]]'', Shamal notes that she and the other Wolkenritter have lost their immortality, and are content with this. Not surprising, seeing as after the corruption of the Tome, their immortal lives were more like a series of reincarnations each one only lasting as long as their master, which typically wasn't very long. They also lost most of their memories between each cycle.
