Queen's Blade/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Butt Monkey]] - Mild case in Season 1, where she was on the receiving end of a large part of the combat-induced [[Fan Service]].

* [[Crossover]] - In the ''Mobile Suit Blade'' doujinshi and strip, she's depicted as the [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|Gundam Exia]]

* [[Expy]] - Character design-wise, of [[Mai-HiME|Haruka Suzushiro]], and also shares some elements from [[GEAR Fighter Dendoh|Vega]], both of which were designed by Hirokazu Hisayuki. Also, clothing-wise, she looks a bit like Lucia from the obscure NES/Famicom game ''[http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/madoola/madoola.htm The Wing of Madoola]''.

** Also, she shares some personality quirks with [[Fatal Fury|Rock Howard]]: both are emotional blondes, lost their mothers at a young age (and their names are ''very similar''), live between people of the same sex and had jerks for fathers. Subverted in that while Rock has no known brothers and his father was a criminal kingpin, Leina still has her sisters and her father is, at least, a decent guy.

* [[Important Haircut]] - She gives herself one in the first episode.

* [[Meaningful Name]] - "Reina", her alternate name (should "L" be replaced with "R", which does exist in the Japanese language), means {{spoiler|"queen" in Spanish -- she won the Queen's Blade tournament, but decided on forfeiting the title to Claudette.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Mega Manning]] - In the final episode, Leina is revealed to have adapted techniques from Claudette, Tomoe, and possibly others.}}

* [[Missing Mom]]: Her mother, Maria, died when she participated in a Queen's Blade tournament when Leina was a child (or by an illness in ''Hide and Seek'' manga). Her death really traumatized her ''hard'' even to her adult age {{spoiler|to the extreme Leina uses her mother's name in QB Rebellion as an alias}}

* [[No Dead Body Poops]] - During her first encounter with Melona, while in the process of being strangled.

* [[Harem Seeker]]

* [[Hot Chick With a Sword]]

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]] - Holy crap (no pun intended)... in the course of a few minutes, she goes from a completely useless annoyance to a competent fighter in her own right.

* [[Power Limiter]]: Nanael might as well be the strongest character in the series...if it weren't for the fact the head archangel cut her power down by giving her the holy milk to carry and given her clumsiness, her power is brought down considerably.

* [[Secret Test of Character]] - Nanael gets one in the {{spoiler|fifth OAV when she is given [[A Taste of Power]] as a fallen angel.}}

* [[Seven Is Nana|Seven is Nana-el]]

Heck, {{spoiler|Elina even dresses with black clothes, just like Jagi, in QB Rebellion}}, not to mention both having mind-controlling skills.
