* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: He gets better every arc, and this especially becomes noticeable at Episode 4's tea party. And in Episode 5, [[Beyond the Impossible|he took all his levels in badass and squared them]] during the hidden tea party. [[Subverted Trope|His badass levels]] {{spoiler|[[Double Subversion|seemingly]]}} [[Subverted Trope|take a dip]] in EP6 in that [[My Greatest Failure|he falls into a deep depression]] and {{spoiler|ends up being nearly reduced to a [[Dude in Distress]]}}, with a few [[Badass]] moments sprinkled here and there. {{spoiler|1="Seemingly" being a key word; EP8 ''spectacularly'' [[Double Subversion|subverts]] all that by revealing [[Batman Gambit|his dip in badassery was completely intentional]].}}

* [[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''}}.

* [[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.

** {{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.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: In EP1, she's fairly close to the stereotypical maid archetype; timid, kind, polite... cue EP2 when she's utterly determined to be with George at all costs and stands up to Beatrice, being one of the only people to successfully press the witch's [[Berserk Button]] to date. She does it again in the third arc.

* [[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.
