Line 9:
'''Child:''' Kagutsuchi<br />
'''Element:''' four golden rings around her wrists and ankles; fire<br />
'''Anime:''' She is a first-year student at a private school called Fuuka Academy ([[Middle of Nowhere Street|located somewhere in Japan]]), who discovers that she has the powers of the HiME while caught in a battle between Natsuki and Mikoto on the ferry to the school. She eventually teams up with them ([[Teeth -Clenched Teamwork|reluctantly]]) against monsters called Orphans, all while balancing her normal school life, a part-time job as a waitress, and monitoring the health of her younger brother Takumi (whom she has been charged with protecting in the wake of [[Missing Mom|her mother's death]]).<br />
'''Manga:''' Mai has already been in Fuuka Academy for some time upon the series' beginning, and is moderately skilled in the utilisation of her HiME abilities. She shares a [[Rival|rivalry with Natsuki]], which is only exacerbated by their sudden discovery that newcomer Yuuichi Tate is the 'Key' for the ''both'' of them.<br />
In combat, Mai is protected by her [[Mon|CHILD]], a dragon called Kagutsuchi, which was bonded to her after she [[Only the Chosen May Wield|removed its sword from a cavern wall]]. Her Element (magical weapon) takes on the form of floating magatama rings that wrap around her wrists and ankles, and allow her to [[Flight|fly]] and [[Playing With Fire|shoot fire]]. }}
Line 20:
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: In terms of "power to mass" ratio, she is well and truly [[Over Nine Thousand]].
* [[Cooldown Hug]]: She opts to save {{spoiler|Mikoto}} with one of these instead of killing {{spoiler|her}} during the final battle. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Isn't that sweet?]]
* [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]]: She uses it on Mikoto in the first episode when Yuuichi gets knocked aside by Shiho.
* [[Custom Uniform]]: When wearing her summer uniform, where the orange jacket is replaced by a vest, we can see that Mai's white blouse underneath it has no sleeves - although it does have a collar.
* [[The Danza]]: Voiced by [[Mai Nakahara]] in Japanese.
* [[Die or Fly]]: Her powers initially take shape when shielding Mikoto from Natsuki's attack.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: She hates saddling others with her personal problems, and prefers to solve them herself. This is made even more obvious by her manga incarnation.
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Collects nearly as many fangirls as Natsuki immediately after arrival. [[My Friends and Zoidberg|And Mikoto.]]
* [[Evil Makeover]] (manga)
Line 70:
* [[Celibate Hero]] (anime)
** {{spoiler|[[Word of Gay]]: [[All There in the Manual|The artbooks]] imply rather strongly that she hooks up with [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Shizuru]] at her graduation.}}
** {{spoiler|[[Single -Target Sexuality]]: Her attraction to Shizuru is primarily based around her reaching out to her when she couldn't trust anyone else}}.
* [[The Comically Serious]]
* [[Covert Pervert]]: (manga) Her first thought after hearing that Yuuichi's birthday was near was to offer ''herself'' as a birthday present, complete with a picture of her imagining herself wearing nothing but a bow. (anime) The panty thief episode revealed that she has a ''huge'' collection of lingerie and feminine underwear of all kinds.
* [[Crucified Hero Shot]]: (anime) At least two.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Gradually opens up to other people, and her friendships with Shizuru, Mai and Mikoto help her to understand that people cannot live alone.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: In the manga, she punches Yuuichi when he asks if anyone has a problem with him helping her, saying that he’s doing it out of pity.
* [[Dramatic Wind]]: Episode 4, during the [[Panty Thief]] incident. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* [[Going Commando]]: Her panties end up missing in her locker during the panty thief episode, so she's forced to go around campus without them for a while until Mai finds out.
Line 104:
'''Child:''' Miroku<br />
'''Element:''' claymore (Miroku)<br />
'''Anime''': Like Mai, she comes from a far away land, but she does so in search of her long-lost brother. It is unknown what happened to her parents, but it is hinted in a flashback that Mikoto lived most of her early life with her grandfather before his death (he was the one who told her to seek out her brother in Fuuka, and {{spoiler|trained her to [[Self -Made Orphan|kill him]]}}). She is an incredibly childlike, but generally well-meaning person who loves all her friends, but doesn't quite understand the concept of romantic love.<br />
'''Manga''': Mikoto's role has been reduced by a fair margin, although Mai readily acknowledges her as the strongest of all of the HiMEs near the series' beginning. She is also shown to have slightly better social skills.<br />
Mikoto's weapon is a [[BFS|giant sword]] called Miroku, which she carries on her back in a giant wooden case. When she doesn't have it on hand, she can call it to her by shouting its name, in effect making it both her Element ''and'' her CHILD. {{spoiler|1=In the anime, this sword is also one of the CHILDs of the demonic Obsidian Lord, which Mikoto has been trained to carry around with her since childbirth.}} }}
Line 131:
* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: Her pendant.
* [[No Social Skills]]
* {{spoiler|[[Self -Made Orphan]]: (anime) Mikoto's grandfather trained her to kill him, to see if one day she would be strong enough to harness the full power of Miroku.}}
* [[Single -Target Sexuality]]: Mikoto [[Love You and Everybody|loves all of her friends]] in a general platonic sense...though her actions toward Mai [[Les Yay|suggest differently]].
* [[Sword Plant]]: This is how she activates her ultimate attack.
* [[Sword Sparks]]
Line 187:
* {{spoiler|[[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: (anime) Her Most Important Person is her comatose mother, and after Shizuru destroys her CHILD and the mother dies, the always arrogant and self-assured Nao collapses in tears and screams.}}
* [[Evil Redheads]] (Less "evil" and more "self-serving")
* [[Eye Scream]]: (anime) {{spoiler|Nao loses her right eye after being tricked into fighting Natsuki. She was already "on the fence" as far as alignment went, but this incident was her [[Freak -Out|breaking point]].}}
* [[Face Heel Revolving Door]] (anime): Starts out as antagonistic and hostile toward the other Himes, then starts cooperating with them before leaving the team after [[The Reveal]] {{spoiler|and becoming an enemy when her eye gets put out, only to come back and fight alongside the others in the finale}}.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: (anime) She lures lecherous men by posing as a girl named "Juliet" and pretends to [[Enjo Kosai|let them "do things" to her]], and then robs them blind. Her reason for choosing this path is because {{spoiler|her mother was seriously wounded in a robbery attempt, and robbing other robbers is Nao's way of revenge}}.
Line 244:
'''Manga:''' Manga: Akira is still fairly close to Takumi. She joins the Ori-HIME unit in order to keep her status as a girl secret, but is never seen summoning her Child. }}
* [[Bifauxnen]]
* [[Clark Kenting]] (anime subversion): Akira's ninja disguise [[The Not -Secret|doesn't fool Takumi one bit]], but she continues to play it off after she's found out.
* [[Double Weapon]]: (anime) Her sword/knife Element.
* [[Fuuma Shuriken]]: Wields one in the manga.
Line 286:
'''Child:''' Diana<br />
'''Element:''' mirror<br />
Yukino is the shy, bookish vice-president of the executive committee. She provides [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|the "yin" to Haruka's "yang"]], actively avoiding conflict while Haruka embraces it. She and Haruka have known each other since they were children, and Yukino looks up to Haruka as both a friend and a protective figure. She is very good with computers and technical gadgets, and can [[Rapid -Fire Typing|type really fast]].<br />
'''Anime:''' Yukino's CHILD is an odd insectoid beast named Diana, and her Element is a mirror. Much like Yukino's non-confrontational personality, Diana is mostly incapable of attacking. Instead, it releases several mechanical spores that allow her to spy on distant targets, which can be seen through the lenses of its self-replicating mirrors.<br />
'''Manga:''' In the manga, Yukino's CHILD has been completely changed, to the jellyfish-life Miroir, which spawns tiny mirrors. This is used largely to redirect the wildly-aimed attacks from Haruka's CHILD. }}
Line 300:
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Extremely shy and vulnerable to pressure, {{spoiler|which [[Manipulative Bastard|Ishigami]] tries to use to his advantage later in the anime. It almost succeeds.}}
* [[Twisted Knee Collapse]]: {{spoiler|After Mai and Kagutsuchi are hit by Artemis}}
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: In the anime Yukino's CHILD, Diana, is only good for surveillance and [[Invisible to Normals|hiding the effects of the HiME battles from the public]]. {{spoiler|This causes her problems when Shizuru challenges her, as she is defeated just mere seconds after she summons Diana forth.}} The manga allows her to team up with Haruka to power up Haruka's CHILD, increasing her battle capability, but still leaving her as a support character on the battlefield.
 
== Fumi Himeno ==
Line 348:
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]] (anime) {{spoiler|She starts crying and apologizing to Natsuki after being resurrected}}.
* [[Ojou]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Partially subverted. Her eyes are naturally red, but she's a pretty nice girl to hang around. {{spoiler|Except when she loses her mind.}}
* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: {{spoiler|Shizuru is in love with Natsuki. However, when her friends (i.e. Natsuki, Yukino, and Haruka) call her out for choosing love over duty, [[Psycho Lesbian|she snaps]].}}
* [[Sexy Silhouette]]: A rare example of [[Fan Disservice]] in this case, when combined with {{spoiler|the above [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma]] moment. Although it happens only in Natsuki's imagination. Note how Natsuki's "flashbacks" about it have the same POV as scenes of her sleeping, but scenery and Natsuki's lying figure are mirrored, indicating that sequence is in her mind entirely.}}
Line 428:
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: (manga) First, with [[Smug Snake|Nagi]], and then with [[Big Bad|the Obsidian Lord himself]]. Note that this is to be taken literally.
* {{spoiler|[[First Girl Wins|First Boy Wins]]: Yes, technically he ''and'' Mikoto win. She was the first girl Mai met, and he was the first guy, and Mai says she loves them ''both''.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Go Out Withwith a Smile]]: (anime) He manages to face his death (as a result of Mai and Shiho's duel) rather calmly, as the girls he cares for will stop fighting, but admits that even he finds dying somewhat scary.}}
* [[Love Triangle]]: Mai, Natsuki, and Shiho compete over in him the manga. Mai and Shiho are both potential matches for him, and he and Reito both have feelings for Mai in the anime.
* [[Neutral Female|Neutral Male]]
Line 468:
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: Anything from frequent rule breaking to comments about the size of her forehead to insulting Yukino can get her riled up.
* [[Harmless Freezing]] (manga): She’s frozen in a block of ice at the end of her fight with Natsuki and Mai, and merely has a cold after being thawed out.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Joke Character]]: In Fuuka Taisen, she's the only one without any powers. Her special move is basically forcing a character to dress up in cosplay, and breaking down laughing.
* [[Justice Will Prevail]]: Moreso in the manga.
Line 678:
* [[Green Thumb]] (Marie's Child, Fleur, has the power to attack with vines and petals)
* [[Healing Factor]] (Fleur again, which has almost limitless regenerative abilities. {{spoiler|It took a near [[Heroic Sacrifice]] from Haruka, Yukino and Midori to destroy it and kill Marie}}.)
* [[Hero -Killer]] (To put things in perspective, {{spoiler|Marie took down ''Miyu'' with insulting ease!}})
* [[Perky Female Minion]] (Gui-Fei)
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]
