Line 14:
Subaru is usually partnered with the gunner Teana Lanster, who is her close friend and, again, [[Ship Tease|possibly more than that]].
 
By ''[[Striker SStrikerS Sound Stage X]]'', she has distinguished herself as a member of the TSAB's [[Emergency Services|Disaster Relief branch]], having earned the nickname of "The Silver Ace". The job has had some traumatic moments, such as having a man she was trying to rescue commit suicide in front of her. In spite of this, Subaru has retained her [[Genki Girl|cheerful personality]]. Over the course of this [[Story Arc]], she meets a new friend in the [[Mysterious Waif]] Ixpellia.
 
In ''[[Nanoha Force|Force]]'', she joins the unit being assembled in response to the Eclipse. She has known Touma for some time and sees him as like a younger brother, hoping to make him part of her family after he leaves the facility that is taking care of him and completes one last trip to put his past behind him. She's troubled by the revelation that he's the suspect the TSAB is looking for, and resolves to confirm things herself.
Line 68:
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Ice cream? "Suki suki daisukiiii!"
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Her and Teana.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: All the Forwards do, but Subaru arguably goes the farthest, starting out as a girl who’s too timid to fight and eventually becoming a highly skilled mage.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Episode 17. She goes completely insane after witnessing {{spoiler|her sister Ginga}} bloodied and being stuffed into a box. The result: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stcdeabi8WU "Gin-nee o...KAESE!"]''
* [[World of Cardboard Speech]]: Episode 23.

A gunner mage. Her older brother was disgraced in a past mission; Teana's goal in becoming a mage was to prove that her family's strength is not to be underestimated. However, the fact that she has less innate magical ability than the other juniors causes her to push herself very hard. She attempts to put herself through [[Training Fromfrom Hell]], but she overworks herself and nearly causes a friendly-fire incident. She subsequently takes a more sensible approach to training, and becomes relatively [[Weak but Skilled]]. Her Intelligent Device is Cross Mirage.
 
She is usually partnered with Subaru, and cares for her quite a bit, though she [[Tsundere|won't admit it]].
 
By the time of ''[[Striker SStrikerS Sound Stage X]]'' she's already a respectable Enforcer of the TSAB and is the one in charge of the case in this arc. She finds a very competent temporary aide in Runessa, but despite her wish for the two of them to be partners, they understandably went their separate ways at the end {{spoiler|since Runessa turned out to be the [[Big Bad]]}}. In ''[[Nanoha Force|Force]]'', she investigates the Eclipse incidents with Fate and Shario, and also knows Touma.
 
==== Tropes associated with Teana: ====
Line 94:
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Cross Mirage's [[Knife Nut|Dagger Mode]]. According to the manga, she is perfectly ambidextrous which is why she prefers a weapon in each hand.
* [[Dungeon Bypass]]: Teana uses a variant of this in ''[[Sound Stage X]]'' to open an escape route for Subaru, with the help of {{spoiler|Starlight Breaker}}.
* [[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: After ''StrikerS'', she loses her [[Girlish Pigtails]] and starts wearing her hair loose. This is presumably indicative of her outgrowing the recklessness that she exhibited during ''StrikerS''.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Firing One-Handed]]: The artwork for ''[[Sound Stage X]]'' shows her wielding Cross Mirage's Blazer Mode one-handed.
Line 102:
* [[The Gunslinger]]
* [[Hand Cannon]]: Cross Mirage's Blazer Mode.
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: She trains to the point of exhaustion yet her magical abilities are inferior compared to her partner and the other forwards which causes her to have confidence issues, leading to [[Heroic BSOD|her attacking Nanoha for real during a mock battle]]. [[Training Fromfrom Hell|She then learns of how Nanoha became who she is and the dangers of treading the same path]], something that she doesn't want her students to do.
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: According to the third Sound Stage, Cross Mirage, after having its final limiter removed, gets a new long-range mode, but she decides it would take too long to learn how to use it before the final showdown with Scaglietti’s forces.
* [[I Just Want to Be Special]]: Teana wants to be an ace like Nanoha. That's not where her talent lies, though.
Line 113:
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: from the StrikerS manga. "I don't know anything about your knuckle..."; in the middle of the night, she opened the drawer and cleaned it.
* [[The Smart Girl]]: She serves as the tactician of the Forwards.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: [[Subverted]] -- she realizes that the best way to get stronger is not by overworking herself, but by using what she has most effectively.
* [[Tsundere]]: Mainly towards Subaru, who often gets on her nerves but whom she holds in high regard. She notes that she has thanked Erio and Caro for becoming friends with her, but if she did so with Subaru, she would wonder if something is wrong and see it as uncharacteristic of her.
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Her version of the {{spoiler|Starlight Breaker}}, which she uses in ''[[Sound Stage X]]''. She also uses it in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid|Vi Vid]]'' against {{spoiler|Nanoha's Starlight Breaker}}. [[No Kill Like Overkill|During a training fight.]]
Line 135:
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Kusuha Mizuha]].
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Her job both before and after Section Six is in environmental protection. In the ''StrikerS'' manga her ability to connect with wild animals is noted as a great asset in that field.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Somewhat sensitive about being fairly short compared to Erio. This only gets more noticeable with time as Erio grows like a weed, while Caro remains almost the same height.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Until episode 17 Caro seems to be a pure support character. But then she summons Voltaire, who proceeds to go Godzilla on {{spoiler|the attackers who had been wasting Section Six's defenses}}.
* [[Power Gives You Wings]]
Line 181:
A [[Mystical Waif]] originally found by the Forwards crawling out of the sewers while chained to a case containing a [[Mineral MacGuffin|Relic]]. She wakes up looking for her mama and, before long, comes to identify Nanoha and Fate as her mother figures. However, she is later gets kidnapped by Jail and his Numbers and it is revealed that Vivio was actually {{spoiler|the clone of the Sankt Kaiser, the saint king (actually queen) of Ancient Belka}}. In the final battle of ''StrikerS'', {{spoiler|she is forced by Quattro to fight Nanoha against her will}}. Eventually, mother and daughter are reunited after Nanoha unleashes her most comprehensive befriending to date. Thereafter, Nanoha formally adopts Vivio.
 
By ''[[Striker SStrikerS Sound Stage X]]'', she is a librarian of the Infinity Library, and is being taught magic by Yuuno. In spite of their involvement with her kidnapping, she has become great friends with Lutecia and the reformed Numbers. At the end of the Sound Stage, she makes friends with Ixpellia, [[Warrior Prince|a ruler from Ancient Belka]].
 
Vivio is the main character of the ''[[Spin Offspring|ViVid]]'' manga.
Line 192:
* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: In addition to her [[Mismatched Eyes]], she is also copying her mother's hairstyle while in Adult Mode, with a single sideways pigtail.
* {{spoiler|[[God-Emperor]]}}: {{spoiler|As the Sankt Kaiser of Belka, she is this by right if not in point of fact.}}
* [[Happily Adopted]]: By Fate and Nanoha, which have to be the coolest adoptive parents around.
* [[Has Two Mommies]]: Fate and Nanoha. According to one short side story she gives Nanoha presents on mother's day and Fate - on father's day, which she calls "second mother's day".
* [[Improbable Age]]: A librarian in the Infinity Library in third grade. Lampshaded by Otto as being improbable ''in-universe''.
Line 249:
* [[Genki Girl]]: As of ''[[Sound Stage X]]'', her personality is... much more upbeat than in the ''StrikerS'' anime.
* {{spoiler|[[Good Costume Switch]]}}: In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid|Vi Vid]]'' and ''[[Nanoha Force|Force]]'', she wears a one-piece Barrier Jacket that bears some resemblance to Signum's, in contrast to her fairly skimpy ''StrikerS'' outfit.
* [[Kinky Cuffs]]: Works well when put in the same room as her new, dominant master, Signum.
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: She's only truly loyal to Zest and Lutecia, not Scaglietti. That just happens to put her against Section Six. {{spoiler|Switches sides before the end of the final battle when Zest asks Signum to take care of her}}.
* [[No Name Given]]: At least until Lutecia gives her one. It only takes 37 attempts to get one that Agito agreed with.

The [[Big Bad]] of the third season. A [[Mad Scientist]] with a passion for [[Evilutionary Biologist|biological manipulation]] and the lost, forbidden magics and technology of Ancient Belka and Al Hazred, {{spoiler|he's also an [[Artificial Human]] created by the TSAB Council under the project "Unlimited Desire", [[Gone Horribly Right|which moulded that passion into him]]}}. While an interdimensional-criminal for his science-related crimes, {{spoiler|he is secretly under the TSAB's funding and employ in their hopes of acquiring [[Lost Technology|Lost Logia]] level weapons}}. He plans and eventually launches a surprise, wide-scale terrorist attack on the [[The Federation|Time-Space Administration Bureau]], succeeds in destroying several key installments such as the Ground Forces HQ, and almost succeeds in taking down the entire TSAB itself if it wasn't for the efforts of Riot Force Six.
Line 296:
* [[Cloning Gambit]]: [[Squick|In the creepiest way imaginable.]]
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Took quite a few precautions to make sure his evil plan would not be easily foiled.
* [[Expy]]: Bears a number of similarities to [[Super Robot Wars|Ingram Prisken]], down to betraying his masters and creating an [[Opposite SexGender Clone]] of himself.
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
Line 315:
=== The Numbers ===
[[File:nanoha.numbers.png|frame]]
{{quote|''He collected all kinds of knowledge, from the legacy of Ancient Belka to the magic and technology of every time and place, and demonstrated their immense power by creating life.

These twelve [[Cyborg|Combat Cyborgs]] created by Jail Scaglietti serve as the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]. They are unique in that they do not use any of the conventional types of magic or devices at all, instead relying on their Inherent Skills and specialised equipment, which are completely unaffected by anti-magic fields.
Line 327:
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}: After the final battle of ''StrikerS'', {{spoiler|Cinque, Nove, Dieci and Wendi are adopted by the Nakajima family}}, and {{spoiler|Sein, Otto and Deed join the Saint Church}}.
* [[Latex Space Suit]]: Except for Uno.
* [[Numerical Theme Naming]] / [[You Are Number Six]]: Each one has a number, and a name derived from the Italian word for that number.
* [[Only One Name]]: Despite this, {{spoiler|Cinque, Nove, Dieci and Wendi are all adopted by the Nakajimas, and take on "Nakajima" as their family name}}
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]
Line 335:
== Uno ==
[[File:uno_9625.png|frame]]
The only number not to wear the standard blue bodysuit, Uno is the first of the numbers, and an [[Opposite SexGender Clone]] of her creator. Her powers largely relate to the discreet gathering of information. Also does the Doctor's hair. Appears to be a little suspicious of Quattro, [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|for good reason]].
 
==== Tropes associated with Uno: ====
* [[Affably Evil]]: She's quite polite to Zest and Lutecia, and even shows concern about them in the field, but has no visible qualms about {{spoiler|inserting the relic into Vivio}}.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Opposite SexGender Clone]]: Of Jail.
* [[Technopath]]: Her Inherent Skill "Flawless Secretary" enables her to hack into any computer network with her mind.
** [[The Cracker]]: Her IS allows her to tap into any computer network.
Line 359:
* [[Finger-Lickin' Evil]]
* [[For the Evulz]]
* [[Humanshifting]]: Due can shapeshift thanks to her Inherent Skill "Liar's Mask", but she can only assume humanoid form.
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: Her first scene has her killing {{spoiler|the TSAB High Council, who were responsible for having Jail created in the first place}}.
* [[Master of Disguise]]
Line 449:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Older than most of the Numbers, and is officially noted as being Teana's age despite looking like a small child.
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Rumble Detonator. She can activate it [[Rule of Cool|via finger snap]].
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Tells Genya in ''[[Striker SStrikerS Sound Stage X]]'' that she "''loves'' sweets".
* [[Token Mini-Moe]]: Despite being one of the oldest of the Numbers.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
Line 476:
* [[Power Perversion Potential]]: Puts her Deep Diver to use in {{spoiler|[[Skinship Grope|groping]] the bathers in chapter 11 of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid|Vi Vid]]''}}.
* [[Skinship Grope]]: {{spoiler|Does this to Teana, Corona and Rio in chapter 11 of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid|Vi Vid]]''}}.
* [[Super Senses]]: ''[[Striker SStrikerS Sound Stage X]]'' mentions that she has much better eyesight than an ordinary human.
* [[Supreme Chef]]: According to Lutecia
* {{spoiler|[[Warrior Monk]]}}: In training.
Line 491:
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: The result of Quattro's efforts to "remove excess elements" of her personality before her activation.
* [[Flight]]: Like Tre and Quattro, Sette can also fly.
* [[Precision-Guided Boomerang]]: Her IS, Slaughter Arms.
* [[Satellite Character]]: Almost never interacts with anyone other than Tre.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: She was put through a rigorous training program by Tre and as a result of this, has a deep respect for her.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: The youngest Number, Sette is in fact barely past her first birthday when she appears. She is also one of three Numbers who appear to be adult women.
 
Line 508:
* [[Bifauxnen]]: Even some of Otto's sisters were unsure of Otto's gender, because Quattro told her and Deed to keep it a secret. In the manga it's also mentioned that Deed has been instructed to help Otto bathe, separately from all the others. It doesn't take too much imagination to figure out what Quattro's trying to do here.
* [[Bokukko]]
* [[Cross DresserCrossdresser]]: In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid|Vi Vid]]'', she's seen wearing a male butler uniform {{spoiler|as part of her job for the Saint Church}}.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Easily defeats Shamal and Zafira with Deed's help during the attack on Riot Force 6's headquarters. In the final battle, Shamal and Zafira take her by surprise, and capture her before she has a chance to attack them.
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Opens up a little by ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid|Vi Vid]]'', though.
Line 615:
* [[First-Name Basis]]: Proposes this for Runessa, whom she's met relatively recently, as a way of making it clear whether Rune's referring to her, her sister or her father.
* [[Full-Contact Magic]]
* [[Neck Lift]]: Does this to {{spoiler|Subaru}} during their battle. {{spoiler|Subaru}} managed to escape and do an attempted counter, which earned her a one-handed slam into the ground.
* [[Power Fist]]: Revolver Knuckle.
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Promotion]]}}: {{spoiler|The other way around - brainwashed Ginga was unable to use any of her learned magical abilities. She could only use her Inherent Skills}}.
Line 677:
 
==== Tropes associated with Vice: ====
* [[Friendly Sniper]]: Cheerful, personable, laid-back, and can snipe the head of a running target from a moving helicopter even though there's an ally obscuring his line of sight.
* [[I Can Still Fight]]: Goes out to fight in the final battle despite having been unconscious for a week.
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Is able to hit Deed inside a building from a distance where neither she nor Teana can see him.
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: As a result of a missed shot on his part, {{spoiler|his little sister was blinded in one eye}}, resulting in a [[Heroic BSOD]] and a severe reluctance to ever snipe again afterwards. {{spoiler|Both of them get better in time for the final battle}}.
* [[Sempai-Kohai]]: Teana and Alto refer to him as their sempai in ''[[Striker SStrikerS Sound Stage X]]''.
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: He has even less magical power than Teana, but is a formidable marksman nevertheless.
