Battler's half-sister. She was only six in 1986, and didn't go to Rokkenjima with the rest of her family due to flu. The one we see has grown up in [[Bad Future|the world that stems from the third arc]]. She started to learn some magic from Maria. After the third arc, she becomes Ange-Beatrice and in a deal with Bernkastel, agrees to travel back to 1986 Rokkenjima in order to change the events to make it so that everyone does make it back. She later on serves as Featherine's miko, which for the most part consists of reading Featherine the stories of Rokkenjima.

----

* [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Substitute Parent]]: Eva, driven mad by grief for her son and husband, is neglectful, and emotionally and (it is implied) physically abusive. {{spoiler|Well, kind of. It's mostly Bern's fault.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ambition Is Evil]]: Specifically, her ambition to literally exchange her life for learning the cold, hard truth of Rokkenjima causes her to reject the happiness she had before her family's deaths as an illusion. At least at first.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Heel Realization]]}}

* [[Angst Coma]]: After denying the Stakes of Purgatory.

* [[Badass]]: Plain and simple.

* [[Biting the Handkerchief]]: In one of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ-QXwUWh44&feature=related endings] of ''Golden Fantasia''.

* [[Broken Bird]]

** [[Flanderization]]: The manga.

* [[Car Cushion]]: During her escape from Okonogi's office.

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: She attempts to throw herself off a building at the end of EP3 to be with her dead parents and brother, but Bernkastel stops her. She jumps anyway, but [[Badass|survives instead]].

* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: Ange's pink double-orbs which aren't just for show and supposedly hold her magical power {{spoiler|which is, of course, just a delusion}}. They were given to her by Battler.

* {{spoiler|1=[[Face Heel Turn]]: Has a brief one in EP8.}}

* [[Fountain of Youth]]: She spends a good chunk of the eighth arc as her six-year-old self, symbolically representing her lack of ability to move on from the Rokkenjima murders.

* [[Future Badass]]: The cute little six-year old grows up to be Ange-Beatrice, the Witch of Resurrection.

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: The variation mentioned on the page.

** {{spoiler|[[Laughing Mad]]}}

* [[Gratuitous English]]: Have a nice dream. [[See You in Hell]].

* [[Greek Chorus]]: With Featherine in EP6.

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: As a last-ditch effort to snap Battler out of the funk caused by {{spoiler|him finding out that Asumu isn't his mother}} in EP4.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: In EP7 {{spoiler|when she finds out that, [[Unreliable Narrator|according to Bernkastel]], her parents are heartless, greedy murderers, her mother doesn't care about her and only saw her as a way to keep Rudolf in line and also that Eva, who she had despised for twelve years because of the neglect and abuse she was put through, only acted cruelly to keep her from finding out this truth.}}

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Ange really seems to hang out with the wrong crowd. First {{spoiler|Bern}} and then {{spoiler|Featherine}}. Not to mention, apparently {{spoiler|Amakusa}}. And according to EP7, even {{spoiler|her own parents}}. She also terribly misjudged {{spoiler|Eva, it would seem}}. Finally in EP8, {{spoiler|she teams up with all the established metaworld villains, if only to fulfill her own needs. Needless to say, she is wary of them this time around}}.

* [[Kuudere]]

* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]

* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: Her barrettes, which were a prize Battler won for her.

* [[Mysterious Protector]]: An oddball female, non-romantic example.

* [[Off to Boarding School]]

* [[Parental Abandonment]]

* [[Perpetual Frowner]]

* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: {{spoiler|1=In EP8, she pulls a [[Face Heel Turn]] and nearly destroys the Golden Land that Battler and Beatrice created together in order to obtain the truth. However, [[Heel Realization|she eventually realizes the damage she is causing by throwing away her only chance at happiness]], and teams up with Battler and Lambdadelta to keep Bernkastel from completing that damage.}}

* [[Significant Anagram]]: In the hidden Tea Party of Episode 8, {{spoiler|decades later, she becomes a famous fantasy author, "Yukari Kotobuki" (寿 ゆかり). Considering "Yukari" can also be spelled as 縁, if you do that and switch it around with 寿, you get "Ange" (縁寿)}}.

* [[Strange Girl]]: Considered this way by her class.

* [[Summon Magic]]: Ange can summon the [[Assist Character|7 stakes and Sakutarou]] to fight for her on ''Ougon Musoukyouku''.

* [[Survivor Guilt]]

* [[The Watcher]]: Featherine delays Ange's arrival on Rokkenjima (and eventual {{spoiler|real-world death}}) so that she could observe Battler's game and read it to her.

* [[Time Travel]]

* {{spoiler|[[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]:}} As of EP6, {{spoiler|a large conspiracy has been revealed that places Ange in the middle of this: Okonogi is working for the main Sumadera family and had been tasked to eliminate Kasumi and her branch, and hired Amakusa for this job specifically. Ange was to only be protected until Kasumi could be brought out into the open and eliminated. Amakusa killed everyone present when Ange went to Rokkenjima, killing Ange last as she had been regarded as a liability if she were to live any longer.}}

** Even in the meta-world, she gets this.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

 

* [[Expy]]: Some [[Epileptic Trees]] have popped up that he's supposed to be a redoing of one of the [[The Men in Black|Yamainu]] named Hibari 13 (An odd one, as in the game, he was a character without a sprite), due to his name, which is made with the kanji for "Thirteen."

** {{spoiler|Heck, Hibari13's appearance has been confirmed in Matsuribayashi-hen Manga volume 7. [http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8500/hikurashimachiri07062.jpg And guess who...]}}.

* [[Koji Yusa]]

* [[Leitmotif]]: Monochrome Clock

** [[Left the Background Music On]]

* [[Noodle Incident]]: Whatever got him banned from France.

* [[Persona Non Grata]]: According to Ange, if he's caught back in France, he'll be arrested.

* [[Private Military Contractors]]: Supposedly, his job before Okonogi hired him was training Blackwater troops.

 

 

== Kasumi Sumadera ==

[[File:kasumi_ps3_7857.png|frame]]

 

* {{spoiler|[[Pretty Little Headshots]]}}: Fourth arc

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: If she says she wants to make you some matcha, then (a.) she does not mean that literally, and (b) you might want to [[Ax Crazy|run in the other direction]].

 

 

== Tetsuro Okonogi ==

[[File:okonogi_ps3_3433.png|frame]]

 

** [[Homage]]/[[Mythology Gag]]

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Odd considering his first voice actor from the anime voiced Okonogi from ''[[Higurashi]]''

* [[Pointy Ears]]: For some reason.

* [[You Owe Me]]: Okonogi is evidently pretty good at this. It's part of the reason Amakusa is rehired to help Ange, and Amakusa speculates that the reason for his being hired for this was in order for Okonogi to later be able to get some favors from Ange.

* [[Paparazzi]]: Is particularly angry with them (similar to Eva)

 

== Sabakichi Kumasawa ==

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: A "saba" is a type of mackerel.

* [[Redemption Quest]]: Seems to consider taking Ange to and from Rokkenjima as a type of this as atonement for what had happened there 12 years prior.

** {{spoiler|Unless you go with the trick ending, that is.}}
