{{quote|
The protagonist and 18 year-old son of Rudolf and Asumu ({{spoiler|but don't make him say it in red text}}) and 7th in the line of succession. After Asumu died six years ago, Battler became angry with his father for remarrying Kyrie so fast and went to live with his maternal grandparents. Because of this, he's been fairly out of the loop as to the affairs of the Ushiromiya family. Often, he is teased about being similar to his father for his tendency to try to grope girls. He now has a half-sister named Ange who does not come to Rokkenjima.
Line 19:
* [[Animal Motifs]]: The witches compare him a few different times to [[The Phoenix]]. Maybe makes sense, given the nature of his [[Fate Worse Than Death]] combined with his [[Determinator]] personality.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Lampshaded.
{{quote|
* [[Anti-Magic]]: His ability to resist magic of up to godlike scale is classified as [[Over Nine Thousand|Endless Nine]].
* [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign]]: With all of the plausible, if not necessarily likely, names of the rest of the Ushiromiya family, one must wonder what possessed Ryukishi to name his main character "Battler."
Line 39:
* {{spoiler|[[Changeling Fantasy]]}}: It's confirmed in EP8 that {{spoiler|Kyrie is his real mother, and he was swapped at birth with Asumu's child}}.
* [[Chewbacca Defense]]: Hey, [[Insane Troll Logic|anything]] to fight off [[Troll|Beatrice and Bernkastel]].
* [[Chick Magnet]]: Largely an [[Informed Attribute]]. It is implied that Battler is quite popular with girls, though it seems he's not entirely aware of it himself. However, most of the female cast is already either married or paired off with someone else.
** However, if [http://umineko.wikia.com/wiki/Butterfly_Kiss_Episode1.5%E9%85%8D%E5%B8%83%E3%83%A1%E3%83%83%E3%82%BB%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8%E3%83%9A%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC this] is to be taken seriously...
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: It seems like he'll try to grope anyone ([[Kissing Cousins|Even his cousin!]]), and at one point even tells little Maria [[All There in the Manual|to let him grope her when she gets older]], but the one time a girl actually tries to let him, he freaks out and scolds her ([[Megaton Punch|after being punched by aforementioned cousin]]). Note: He thanked the cousin for punching him. He even tells Maria to promise she'll let him [[It Makes Sense in Context|"eat her"]] once she's legal, in the EP2 Tea Party.
Line 55:
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: {{spoiler|Black Battler}} from ''Ogon Musokyoku Cross''.
* {{spoiler|[[Expository Hairstyle Change]]}}: {{spoiler|1=In one of the endings for EP8 which takes place in 1998, Battler's hair has turned white and has been cut shorter. On a meta-level, he assumed he was Asumu's son at first, so he had red hair in the novels. Kyrie had white hair at his age as well, so it's somewhat symbolic of him accepting his true parentage.}}
* [[Expy]]: The guy is half-[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories|Adell]], half-[[Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright]], with a dash of [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Keiichi]]. And that's an awesome combination.
* [[A Fate Worse Than Death]]: Battler gets a few of these, one of them actually tying in with [[A Fete Worse Than Death]].
** [[Trauma Conga Line]]: Just the first arc would probably be enough to qualify him for this, and [[It Got Worse|it just gets worse]] from there.
Line 66:
* [[Giving Someone the Pointer Finger]]: His way of [[Throwing Down the Gauntlet]] at Beatrice.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Battler ''loved'' this trope back in 1980. In 1986 he's just embarrassed about it and doesn't want to remember. {{spoiler|It's a major plot point.}}
* [[Guile Hero]]: {{spoiler|1=He fooled us (the readers) of his defeat in EP6 all to make a devastating comeback and, along with Beatrice, defeats Bernkastel in EP8. In fact, when he regained his memories after escaping Rokkenjima, Battler ''[[Beyond the Impossible|created]]'' EP3-6, [[Batman Gambit|in a huge gambit]] to defeat Bernkastel in EP8. He planned both Beatrice's [[Heel Face Turn]] ''and'' his own self-destruction all for this moment; if he is not a [[Guile Hero]] then he is a GOOD [[Magnificent Bastard]].}}
* {{spoiler|1=[[Happily Married]]: With Beatrice after EP6.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Bastard]]}}
Line 96:
* [[Talking to the Dead]]: At least once, Battler addresses his father after Rudolf's corpse has been discovered.
* {{spoiler|[[Together in Death]]}} / {{spoiler|[[You Are Worth Hell]]}}: The mystery ending takes the first tone, the fantasy ending the second.
* [[Took a Level
* {{spoiler|[[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]]}}: Only explained at the end. {{spoiler|Battler actually survived the Rokkenjima murders along with Eva. However, he nearly drowned after trying to save Yasu, and lost all of his memories}}. The entirety of the plot is {{spoiler|him trying to put his memories back together. Yes, every instance and scenario beforehand was just Battler brainstorming for the truth.}}.
* [[Turn Out Like His Father]]: Just about the last thing he wants, considering his feud with Rudolf, but all his relatives remark on how alike they are. He turns out to be even more similar to Kinzo--in looks, temperament, and circumstances; once he realizes the truth, this is retroactively implied to be one of the reasons Battler's so upset by the reset Beatrice calling him "Father" in EP6. {{spoiler|Lo and behold, some twenty years after surviving the Rokkenjima incident, his hair is bleached white and shortened to the point where he looks ''exactly like Kinzo when he was his age''}}.
Line 104:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Kumasawa calls him out on some of his less than admirable behavior towards the resurrected Beatrice in EP6. {{spoiler|1=Ange also accuses him of hiding what really happened on Rokkenjima from her in EP8, as she is far more interested in learning the truth than remembering the happy times she had with her family, but she takes it back when she realizes that he wasn't as completely in the wrong, and she in the right, as she first thought.}}
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Battler's not a fan of his name.
{{quote|
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have to Be]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Shakes?]]: Battler's terrified of any vehicle that shakes when it moves.
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Battler's tendency to quickly trust and give people the benefit of the doubt tends to bite him in the ass more often than not. In Episodes 6 and 8, {{spoiler|[[Guile Hero|he uses this to his advantage to]] [[Obfuscating Stupidity|fool his enemies]].}}
Line 113:

[[File:mariaps3_319.png|frame]]
{{quote|
9 year-old daughter of Rosa and eighth in the line of inheritance. Maria is nine in 1986. She has a troubled relationship with her mother and thus became absorbed in the occult as a way to cope. Notable for her repeated catch phrase, a sort of whining ("''u~~''") as well as her very creepy laugh.
Line 169:
==== Voiced by: [[Marina Inoue]] ====
[[File:jessps3_3139.png|frame]]
{{quote|
18 year-old daughter of Krauss and Natsuhi and fifth in the line of succession. Jessica has a lot of pressure put on her by Natsuhi, being the first heir after Kinzo's sons and daughters. She falls in love with Kanon.
Line 195:
* {{spoiler|[[Sweet on Polly Oliver]]}}: A gender-bent version, since {{spoiler|Kanon is one of Yasu's alter-egos.}} [[Mind Screw|Maybe.]]
* [[Tomboyish Ponytail]]
* [[Took a Level
* [[Tsundere]]: Though like [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Mion]], she is not the classic example of one in that she's neither overly tsun nor overly dere.
* [[Upgrade Artifact]]: Having a little trouble dealing with your target? No problem! Just make a little contract with {{spoiler|Zepar and Furfur}}, call up Bronove to stick some barriers around, and [[Min Max]] your way through that yandere-off.
Line 202:

[[File:george_ps3_5506.png|frame]]
{{quote|
23 year-old son of Eva and Hideyoshi, George is sixth in the line of succession. He has been working as a junior worker at his father's company, but hopes to eventually be able to own his own business. He falls in love with Shannon against his mother's wishes. Being in his twenties, he is by far the oldest of the four cousins, and tends to serve as an older-brother figure to the others. He's very good with young children.
----
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Eva was trying to arrange an omiai for George. He wasn't particularly interested and got incredibly sheepish as soon as she brought it up.
* [[Barrier Warrior]]: Using softer light than [[Hard Light|Shannon]]. His adds the force of any attacks aimed at him to his own attacks, rather than just plain repelling the enemy.
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]
Line 219:
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Feeds onto theories he's the culprit, along with the weird new expressions he gets in EP4.
* {{spoiler|[[Self-Made Orphan]]}}: Sixth arc, sorta. {{spoiler|It was only one. He only killed his mother, not his father.}}
* [[Took a Level
* [[The Wise Prince]]: Amply demonstrated in his lectures on leadership in Ep 4 and 6, complete with shiny rapefaces and levels in badassery.
** [[Badass Creed]]: See the above quote.
Line 242:
* [[Punched Across the Room]]: In the fourth arc Krauss literally punches a goat man so hard it ends up falling right on top of Virgilia.
* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: Alienated Eva and Rosa with sexism when they were younger and he was competing with Eva over the headship qualifications. Much later, he refuses to let Natsuhi have anything to do with the family funds until it's too late to get out of the hole he dug himself into--very unfortunately for him, as [[Sanity Ball|she's got all the common sense]].
* [[
** A big hint towards his complete lack of business foresight appears early in EP1 when Krauss remarks that [[Japan Takes Over the World|Japan will become the economic center of the world]]. Unfortunately for him, the collapse of the [[wikipedia:Japanese asset price bubble|Japanese asset price bubble]] would have likely completely wiped him out only four or five years later.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Gotta feel sorry for the poor idiot to some extent. Although he was the heir apparent, Kinzo never really had any faith in him ([[Horrible Judge of Character|for good reason]]) to begin with, and so he was struggling for Kinzo's approval just like Eva. The only difference is that Eva actually deserved it.
Line 252:
Second in the line of inheritance and George's mother. She has a lot of resentment against her older brother, Krauss, and has a rivalry with his wife, Natsuhi. She is also the wife of Hideyoshi. In order to keep her placement in the line of successors, she married Hideyoshi and had him adopt the name of "Ushiromiya".
In the meta-world, [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni
----
* [[Action Mom]]
Line 264:
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Her martial arts prowess is discussed at the beginning of the first novel. A slightly different example in that the callback turns out to be the fact that she taught those skills to George, allowing him to be a [[Badass Normal]] in the fourth novel. Aside from that, it also explains the reason Eva-Beatrice is a melee fighter in ''Ougon Musou Kyoku''.
* [[Evil Stepmother]]: Ange sees Eva this way, {{spoiler|but it's subverted to hell and back particularly in the final two arcs}}.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Once in the fourth arc, she ( {{spoiler|or better said, Ange's ''perception'' of Eva.}}) holds {{spoiler|Ange}} at gunpoint. Then, the rifle '''blows up on her face''', and said injuries are so horrible that {{spoiler|Ange has to [[Mercy Kill]] her}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]}}: {{spoiler|And then it turns out it was a [[Jerkass Facade]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Good Is Not Nice]]}}
Line 295:
* {{spoiler|[[Ax Crazy]]}}: EP7, at least, where he declares that {{spoiler|killing people is surprisingly easy and very fun.}}
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Break the Haughty]]: EP6. {{spoiler|It's one thing to find your wife's body burned alive but it's another thing to lose your son as well.}}
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: After EP4's revelation that {{spoiler|Asumu is not Battler's birth mother}} it was believed that Rudolf was aware of this. And in EP5 it is highly implied during the 19th person talk that Rudolf was going to tell Battler in EP1 after the letter reading, thus his 'I'm going to die' stint. However, he is never actually seen telling Battler nor is he seen telling anybody.
** He finally does tell Kyrie in EP8 that {{spoiler|Battler is her biological son, and he was responsible for switching him with Asumu's child, who was miscarried, because he didn't want anyone to know he had an affair with Kyrie. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Kyrie takes the news better than what would be expected of her at this point]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: According to Kyrie's diary entries that Ange reads after the Rokkenjima incident, Rudolf's business practices were rarely ever ''not'' skirting the law in some way. It's only recently that it's come to bite him in the ass and get him slapped with a lawsuit, which is why he wants the gold.}}
* [[Duel to the Death]]: {{spoiler|A rare successful one}}.
* {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]]}}:in Episode 7.
* {{spoiler|[[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]}}: To Eva in EP7 {{spoiler|after killing George.}}
{{quote|
* [[Harem Seeker]]: In his youth. He later got over it...[[Your Cheating Heart|for the most part...]]
* [[Handsome Lech]]
Line 309:
* [[Hot Dad]]: Hey, you can't say that Rudolf hasn't aged well.
* {{spoiler|[[Leitmotif]]}}: With Episode 7, {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AHOh9tTNfo Yomotsu Hirasaka Corruption] is now heavily associated with him.}}
* [[Manly Tears]]: Sheds them when {{spoiler|Battler and Kyrie are killed in the sixth arc.}}
* [[Millionaire Playboy]]
* [[Overprotective Dad]]: To Battler in EP7. [[Fanon]] turns it [[Up to Eleven]] in doujinshi.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Toward Battler despite constantly mocking him. {{spoiler|Evident in Arc 7 when he constantly tells Kyrie not to go after him when they're massacring everyone else on the island. It's even hinted that he wouldn't have listened to Kyrie to shoot his own son if Battler didn't believe his lies.}}
** In EP6 {{spoiler|He literally breaks down when he finds Battler's body and refuses to believe it was suicide, and is the first person to take the gun.}}
* [[Parent with New Paramour]]
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]

{{quote|
Mother of Maria and fourth in the line of succession. Although Battler describes her as a calming figure, her relationship with Maria is very troubled.
Line 376:
==== Voiced by: [[Emi Shinohara]] ====
[[File:natsuhi_ps3_1213.png|frame]]
{{quote|
Mother of Jessica and wife of Krauss, she is ninth in the line of succession. Natsuhi is under a lot of pressure, since it is her and Krauss's responsibility to take care of both Kinzo and the house, and yet she married into the Ushiromiya family, putting her at a fairly low rank on the hierarchy. She gave birth to Jessica after twelve years of being unable to have a child, a fact that Eva attempted to take advantage of.
Line 385:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't insult the Ushiromiya family name, head, her husband, or her own standing in the family honorably given to her by Kinzo, {{spoiler|even if the last one isn't true}}.
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Natsuhi is oftentimes far too proud for her own good. Pretty much the whole fifth arc is one long [[Trauma Conga Line]] for her.
* [[The Chew Toy]]: In addition to [[Break the Haughty]] and [[Trauma Conga Line]] above, she gets verbally abused by Eva in EP1 to the point Natsuhi ends up running away in tears. {{spoiler|She is also one of the first to go in the second, fourth, sixth and seventh games.}} Suffice to say, Natsuhi is the series punching bag alongside Rosa. To add to the insult, {{spoiler|It's hinted that she was actually the first person to die when the massacre started.}}
* [[Dead Person Conversation]]: A few with {{spoiler|Kinzo}}, although it's implied that it's because {{spoiler|she [[Hallucinations|snapped]] to a certain extent after Kinzo's death}}, rather than it being a genuine conversation with a ghost.
* [[Duel to the Death]]: In EP1.

{{quote|
The business partner and second wife of Rudolf. Kyrie is Ange's mother and Battler's stepmother ({{spoiler|or so she thinks}}). She is dead last on the chain of succession as far as is known (there is confusion over Maria's father). She is known to have a very strong "flip-the-chessboard" mentality about how to tackle problems, and indeed, seems to have inspired Battler's own.
Line 471:

[[File:kinzo_ps3_7932.png|frame]]
{{quote|
The head of the family, Kinzo is expected to die soon, given his fairly poor health. He is suggested from the beginnning of the series to be mentally unstable, having devoted all of his time to black magic in his study. He is obsessed with reviving the Golden Witch, who claims that she gave him his entire fortune. Adopts the name Goldsmith in the fourth arc, when he shows his powers as a magician.
Line 532:
==== Voiced by: [[Rie Kugimiya]] ====
[[File:shannon_ps3_3754.png|frame]]
{{quote|
One of the servants in the Ushiromiya mansion. She is a very sweet and shy girl who shares Kanon's belief in their furniture status within the Ushiromiya household. Despite that, though, she actively cultivates a relationship with George.
Line 544:
* [[Barrier Warrior]]
* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]: Shannon in general is underestimated by the Meta-Character due to her status of being a simple maid who only powers are [[Barrier Warrior|defensive in nature]], yet in all the times she actually is able to fight back she has been able to hold back her attackers reasonably well, culminating in EP6 where she kills {{spoiler|Witch!Maria and Sakutarou}} without breaking a sweat.
* [[Big Sister Instinct]]: Just as Kanon is protective of her, Shannon is very protective of him and encourages him to get into a relationship with Jessica and break out of his shell. That's why she's disgusted with Beatrice in the second arc for using his body when he's already dead to kill more people. Also she prefers to die with Kanon than have him suffer a gruesome death in EP3.
** However, subverted in EP6 where she outright tells Kanon that as long as he doesn't get in the way of her love for George, he'll be fine. {{spoiler|Cue to the end of the arc where they have a [[Duel to the Death]] and she kills Kanon because his love for Jessica wasn't strong enough.}}
* [[Bookworm]]
** [[Cute Bookworm]]
* [[Break the Cutie]]: EP7 is dedicated to breaking her as {{spoiler|it explains what happened before the murders in terms of a person called Yasu and the hell Yasu goes through.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Broken Bird]]: As arc 7 reveals.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Can't Have Sex Ever]]}}: [[Word of God|Ryukishi]] revealed in an interview that this is the case with Shannon, though if it's due {{spoiler|to the wounds she recieved after falling from the cliff as a baby or due to having a male body}} is unknown. Not suprising she got nervous when George begun talking about them {{spoiler|having children after getting married}}.
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: Has her moments in the upcoming fighting game, mainly due to the fact that half of everyone's moves are weird references to the novels. For example, in context, you probably thought the line was fine, but '''''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-twPWf9hSrQ#t=01m53s "I KEPT MY PROMISE, LADY BEATRICE!!!"]'''''
Line 564:
** {{spoiler|Subverted, since [[Word of God]] has stated that her breasts are actually fake.}}
* {{spoiler|1=[[The Gunslinger]]: Kanon outright states in EP6 that Shannon was always the better of two when it came to handling guns.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Safe Mode]]}}: In EP7, she {{spoiler|basically short-circuits briefly}} when Will asks her to get Kanon, complete with {{spoiler|robotic voice, [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]], and [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]}}.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: We start getting hints that she's more than she seems way at the beginning of EP2, with such gems as the fact that her idea of "cute" runs towards ''hammerhead sharks''.
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: On ''Ougon Musoukyouku'' Shannon can pull-out carpet-beaters, pulling carts, mats, serving trays, [[The Beast Master|Seagull Feed]], [[Parasol of Pain|umbrellas]] and endless supply of [[Dojikko|tea-sets to drop]] out of nowhere, unlike [[Witch Species|Virgilia]], who clearly uses magic to make her weapons appear.
Line 582:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Red to Kanon's blue.
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: For Jessica and Kanon. {{spoiler|Even though she and Kanon are the same person.}}
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Played straight at the beginning but by EP 6 it's an obvious subversion.
* {{spoiler|[[Split Personality]]}}
** {{spoiler|[[Many Spirits Inside of One]]: She has quite a few people inside her. If you just count the ones that are given control of her body, the number is likely three (with Clair being an embodiment of all three at once), but if you count all of her imaginary friends as well, the number quickly shoots into the double-digits. [http://shroedinger.deviantart.com/art/Shkanoyasutrice-177520590 Spoofed here].}}
* {{spoiler|1=[[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: As revealed by EP7, with Battler.}}
* [[Took a Level
** And another one or two in EP6, where she {{spoiler|kills Witch!Maria with [[Curb Stomp Battle|a minimum of fuss]] using [[Lethal Harmless Powers]], and later shoots Kanon dead in a duel.}}
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Her character sprite doesn't allow her to show anything but an expression that shows disgust but never outright anger like Kanon's sprite.
* [[Troll]]: Much, much more subtle about it than Beato and the metaverse crew because of her [[Fragile Flower]] nature, but she mercilessly picks on George and Battler about their embarrassing pasts.
* {{spoiler|[[Wild Card]]}}
Line 597:
==== Voiced by: [[Yuu Kobayashi]] ====
[[File:kanon_8602.png|frame]]
{{quote|
One of the servants in the Ushiromiya mansion. He maintains the belief that servants are to be nothing but furniture in the Ushiromiya mansion, which initially hinders him from having a relationship with Jessica. He and Shannon act like brother and sister, although they are not related by blood.
Line 608:
* [[Battle Butler]]
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Break the Cutie]]: The second arc has Beatrice doing whatever it takes to have him submit to her. Naturally, it does work (in the manga and the visual novel since how bad he broke was [[Adaptation Decay|absent in the anime.]])
* {{spoiler|[[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Not so much lazy but he reveals to be REALLY half ass of everything he does. Kanon even admits it to Chick Beatrice after he is killed by Shannon. Because he didn't go all out, he ended up giving Shannon the upper hand.}}
* [[The Butler Did It]]: Whether it's subverted or played straight has yet to be seen, but in one form or another, this trope was applied particularly strongly in the second arc. {{spoiler|And the sixth.}}
* [[The Chew Toy]]: He's probably the servant that is worse off and is probably the third character that has bad luck in the series. Aside from failing to realize his feelings for Jessica until it's too late in all the arcs except EP6, he never survives past the third Twilight contrast to Shannon who easily makes it past the fourth Twilight more often than not. To add to the insult, his body always goes missing in half of the arcs and he's usually accused of being the culprit. {{spoiler|Finally, the chances of him never existing in the first place is very high.}} To be fair though, his death is nothing (AKA getting stabbed or shot in the chest) compared to what the other members of the family have to go through.
* [[Cry Cute]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: More so in the actual novel where he won't hesitate to take a crack at Shannon or the other servants every now and then.
* [[Dragged Into Drag]]: [http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/337/kanonjessicatsurupettan.png/ By Jessica during their ending in Ougon Musou Kyoku.]
Line 623:
* [[Laser Blade]]: An [[Cool Sword|elaborate]] variation.
* [[Leitmotif]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQK2QbMW-Qk White Shadow]
* [[Big Brother Instinct|Little Brother Instinct]]: He's very protective of Shannon and always trying to guide her in the right direction as well as warn her the dangers of throwing away her status as Furniture. {{spoiler|EP 7 reveals though that Yasu created Kanon to be the little brother that would love and protect his big sister.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Love Epiphany]]}}: In EP6
* [[Never Found the Body]]: Episodes 2, 4, {{spoiler|and 6.}}
* [[Nice Hat]]
* [[Not So Stoic]]
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: See Shannon for elaboration. Kanon's real name {{spoiler|is "Yoshiya," which some people romanize as "Joshua."}}
Line 638:
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]
* [[When He Smiles]]: It's a very good one but the visual novel makes it come off as a [[Cat Smile]].
** He manages to pull a real smile when talking to Chick Beatrice {{spoiler|after being killed by Shannon and admitting his faults. This is also the point where you notice that his laugh is very similar to the original Beatrice hence hitting at his origins.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Wholesome Crossdresser]] or [[Villainous Crossdresser]]}}: EP6 {{spoiler|1=heavily enforces the [[Epileptic Trees]] theory that Shannon and Kanon are the same person, and it's more or less confirmed in EP7 and 8}}. What's more, {{spoiler|1="she" is strongly hinted to be the "Beatrice" who appeared in EP2 and EP4.}}
* [[The Worf Effect]]: He tends to get defeated very easily despite being one of the few characters that can actually use magic. EP 6 reveals though that he is a deconstruction of this trope and {{spoiler|that he never goes all out because he does everything halfheartedly. He tells [[Man Child]] Beatrice this after he realizes this after Shannon kills him and he's nothing but a shadow that can only watch over Jessica.}}
Line 648:
The oldest servant and Kinzo's most trusted confidante. The only one besides Dr. Nanjo usually let into Kinzo's study. Most of the family doesn't trust him, considering him to be a spy for Kinzo.
His meta-world manifestation is [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni/Characters/Demons and Furniture
----
* [[Artificial Human]]: Same as Shannon and Kanon.
Line 665:
A really old servant at the Ushiromiya house. She loves to make jokes about mackerel. {{spoiler|She also served as guardian to Kuwadorian Beatrice, and a mother-figure to Yasu, introducing him/her to mystery novels.}}
Her meta-world manifestation is [[Umineko no Naku Koro ni
----
* [[Cool Old Lady]]
Line 690:
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: In EP5, we find out he's the only person living on the island who doesn't know {{spoiler|that Kinzo is dead}}.
* [[Supreme Chef]]
{{break}}
=== Dr. Terumasa Nanjo ===
Line 701 ⟶ 702:
* [[Secret Keeper]]: Initially, he is the one who kept the secret of Beatrice Castiglioni's existence from the military.
