Valkyria Chronicles/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]

* [[Ship Tease]]: With Vyse.

 

==== Cherry Stijnen ====

 

* [[Dumb Blonde]]

* [[Narm]]: A valley girl fighting in the military. 'Nuff said. Don't get us wrong, she's a vastly entertaining character, but seriously, even her death quote (If she ''does'' die) is amusing:

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Clingy Jealous Guy]]: Does NOT like Welkin being close to Alicia.

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Poor guy.

 

==== Nancy Dufour ====

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Come on, anyone who yells "Yay, happy grass!!" in the middle of a battle certainly qualifies.

* [[Cute Clumsy Girl]]

* [[Meganekko]]

* [[Nice Hat]]

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: The youngest enlisted trooper ''at age 12''.

* [[Magikarp Power]]: Possibly. All her starting potentials are negative, but her unlockable one is very good, and at higher levels she has access to the [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Ultimate Damage]] potential.

* [[Third Person Person]]

 

* [[Tsundere]]: Type B, but even her deredere side can be pretty abrasive.

* [[Unknown Rival]]: Rosie has no idea that Edy doesn't like her.

 

==== Salinas Milton ====

* [[Mad Eye]]: In the animation when her "Sadist" potential triggers.

* [[Power Trio]]: With Hannes and Oscar.

* [[Sociopathic Soldier]]: "Mmmm, scream for me!"

 

* [[Badass]]

* [[Neighborhood Friendly Gangsters]]

* [[The Stoic]]

 

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Appears to be stuck permanently in lazy-weekend-afternoon mode.

 

==== Jann Walker ====

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: [Activating 'Stand Ready'] "Getting hurt [[Captain Obvious|hurts!]]"

* [[Face of a Thug]]: Apparently prevents his resteraunt from being as sucessful as he'd hoped.

* [[Gentle Giant]]: Walter looks intimidating on the battlefield, but when he's off-duty, he enjoys simpler hobbies, such as baking bread.

* [[Mood Swinger]]: His confidence in battle wanes and waxes rapidly.

** In his backstory, he also routed an unit of Imperials with only a handful of soldiers despite being outgunned and outnumbered.

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Appears to be considered one in-universe. He starts a succesful shipping buisness after the war, but doesn't seem to realise exactly [[Estrogen Brigade|why it's so popular...]]

 

==== Yoko Martens ====

* [[Action Mom]]

* [[Identical Stranger]]: Largo reminds her a little too much of her ex-husband for her liking, and so she has the "Largo Hater" potential.

* [[Team Mom]]: One of the older females in the game.

 

* [[Ambiguously Brown]]

* [[Badass Boast]]: Boasts that her abs can stop bullets.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Apparently, she hates Darcsens because they're skinny.

* [[The Ladette]]: Well, she constantly boasts about working out...

* [[Jerkass]]: Until he {{spoiler|falls in love at the end}}.

* [[Bishonen]]: Bordering on [[Adorably Precocious Child]] due to his cherubic features.

* [[Ill Boy]]

* [[Savvy Guy Energetic Girl]]: With Edy again.

* [[Ship Tease]]: Again, with Edy, and the anime turned this [[Up to Eleven]].

==== Catherine O'Hara ====

* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: After Canadian actress and comedienne Catherine O'Hara, who notably played Sally in ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'' and Delia Deetz in ''[[Beetlejuice (Film)|Beetlejuice]]''.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: She's ''35'', and fought in the First Europen War. You probaly wouldn't be able to tell that just by looking at her.

* [[Shell Shocked Senior]]: Despite her friendly demeanor, she still has deep mental scars from her experiences in the previous war.

 

* [[Fear of Thunder]]

* [[Friendly Sniper]]

* [[Power Trio]]: With Hannes and Jane.

* [[Sibling Team]]: With Emile.

 

==== Emile Bielert ====

* [[Dirty Coward]]: Became a sniper so that he could stay as far away from the fighting as possible, and is all too pleased whenever he is excluded from the squad roster.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]

* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Specializes at counter-sniping and is good contender for title of second best sniper in Squad 7 (after, of course, Marina). Also one of the more obnoxious members of Squad 7.

* [[Jerkass]] [[Cold Sniper|Sniper]]: Gradually switches to [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]] in the manga.

* {{spoiler|[[Raise Him Right This Time]]: His epilogue will probably lead to this.}}

 

=== Other Gallian Characters ===

 

* [[Lost Forever]]: Subverted, if you turn down one of his orders, he will offer it again but much later on, leading some players to think they've fallen victim to this trope. (To this troper's knowledge, he won't do this is you say yes but don't have enough exp)

* [[No Name Given]]

* [[Stealth Mentor]]

 

'''Eleanor Varrot'''

Longtime friend of Welkin's, and commander of Squad 7's sister unit, Squad 1. Faldio, like Welkin, was drafted as an officer, and is an avid historian. He is one of the lead researchers on Valkyrian lore and technology for the Gallian Army. {{spoiler|He also discovers that Alicia is a Valkyria, and shoots her to awaken her powers, an act that brings him much grief but he deems necessary for the war effort.}}

 

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Shares this quality with Welkin, which is understandable given their shared military/college education.

* [[Hero of Another Story]]

* [[Evil Prince]]

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Maxi-pad.

* [[Jerkass]]

* [[Knife Nut]]: Has a collection numbering in the hundreds, if not the thousands.

* [[Man in White]]: His [[Ermine Cape Effect|Ermine Cape]].

* [[Missing Mom]]: His [[Freudian Excuse]].

* [[Overly Long Name]]: Maximillian Gaius Von Reginrave.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: His mother was killed by jealous cospirators.

 

* [[A Father to His Men|A Mother To Her Men]]

* [[Badass]]

* [[BFG]]

* [[Love Martyr]]: Towards Maximillian, although she holds no illusion of redeeming him.

* [[More Dakka]]: The Ruhm, her personal rifle.

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Her strict but caring attitude towards her soldiers.

* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]: In a way.}}

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]

* [[Statuesque Stunner]]

* {{spoiler|[[Staying Alive]]: She's available as a playable character in ''[[Valkyria Chronicles II (Video Game)|Valkyria Chronicles II]]''. Somehow.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Taking You With Me]]}}

* [[Tyke Bomb]]

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Her and Jaeger in the anime. Granted, she's icy and he acts like a playboy, but he tries to be a nice guy when Maximillian is an asshole and professionally they do work well together.

* [[Worthy Opponent]]

* {{spoiler|[[You Have Failed Me]]}}

======= Voiced by Akio Otsuka in Japanese and [[Patrick Seitz]] in English. =======

 

* [[Badass]]

* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: The man practically channels [[Bleach|Shunshui Kyoraku]] at times during the anime. Fitting, considering his seiyuu voiced him as well.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: The only character who puts armor plating over his tank's weak point.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Jaeger Meister.

** Had a slightly smaller scale version of this with Selvaria, who he often tried to be nice to when Maximillian was a prick.

* [[Heel Realization]]: After being defeated by Squad 7.

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Especially in the anime version, where he's basically like the aformentioned Kyoraku, except on the villain team.

* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: The [[Chikao Ohtsuka|father]]-[[Akio Ohtsuka|son]] duo are playing Jaeger and Gregor.

* [[Turns Red]]: Has a tendancy to issue [[Oh Crap|ALL his orders at once]] when heavily damaged.

* [[Worthy Opponent]]

 

* [[Sergeant Rock|General Rock]]: While Gregor does have a personality fit for [[The Neidermeyer]], he actually has read a book or two on military tactics and actually proves a legitimate threat to the Gallian forces, because, despite the fact he's a [[Jerkass]] to his troops (especially in the anime), he's a competent, effective [[Jerkass]].

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Has an obsession with destroying the Edelweiss in the anime.

 

==== Giorgios Geld ====

 

 

* [[Dirty Coward]]: When ''he'' is on the receiving end, though, he's quick to beg for his life.

* {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death]]: Let's just say his [[Dirty Coward]] tendancies backfire HARD.}}

* [[Shoot the Hostage]]: Is all too willing to do this [[Stealth Based Mission|if you let your troops be seen during his side mission]], causing an immidiate [[Game Over]].
