The characters in ''[[Ninja Gaiden]]'' introduced during the [[NES]] trilogy and [[X BoxXbox]] [[Prequel]] series.
 
'''Many unmarked spoilers ahead: you've been warned.'''
Line 72:
* {{spoiler|[[Back From the Dead]]}}: {{spoiler|After being sacrificed in ''The Dark Sword of Chaos'', the Dragon Sword uses all its power to bring Irene back}}.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her appearance in ''Dead or Alive Dimensions'', which is the only daring part of her attire now. {{spoiler|Even when she was "Sonia's [[Hotter and Sexier|shoes]]"}}, Irene remains quite modest.
* [[Chickification]]: Hit her hard in the OVA; in fact, she's not even a [[Faux Action Girl]], but a [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]] from start to finish.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: At least once in each game she appears in, full stop in the OVA.
* [[Eighties Hair]]: Her hair style in the NES trilogy.
* [[Fan Service Pack]], [[Hotter and Sexier]]: Pretty much each of Irene's measurements were "upgraded" when Team Ninja modeled her in 3D for ''Dead or Alive Dimensions''.
Line 437:
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Rachel's physical strength is proportional to her voluptuous bust. She can even handle heavy weapons better than Ryu at first in ''Sigma''.
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Dropped off the face of earth in ''Ninja Gaiden 3'', while almost ''all characters'' from the series (old trilogy to present generation) gets a nod, Rachel ceased to exist.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: After Doku captures her, Rachel spends the rest of the story like this.
* [[Dogged Nice Guy|Dogged Nice Girl]]: In a rare female example, Rachel by the end of the first Xbox game has taken quite a liking to Ryu, but he promptly seems to refuse, and going by the series' continuity Rachel isn't going anywhere with Ryu.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: War Hammer (which looks like an axe instead) in the first game, Inferno Hammer (which looks like a hammer this time around) in ''Sigma II''.
Line 464:
* [[BFG]]: The bazooka Sonia uses to aid Ryu.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Just the fact that Sonia was confirmed to be Irene Lew in ''Dead or Alive'' served to really tie the Xbox series as happening before the NES series, Itagaki in his last days at Tecmo was really contradicting about the series continuity.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: When captured by Elizébet and later by Alexei.
* [[Fan Service Pack]]: When she was revealed to be Irene Lew in ''Dead or Alive'', Sonia became the embodiment of this, ''literally''.
* [[Faux Action Girl]]: While playing the CIA Agent role better than her NES counterpart, Sonia can fall in this quickly when greater threats are involved.
