Line 55:
* {{spoiler|[[Glove Slap]]}}: To Erika in EP6.
* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]]: She carries around a long pipe, similar to an Evil Cigarette Holder. ''Ougou Musoukyoku'' shows she uses it has her [[Magic Wand]].
* {{spoiler|[[Go Out Withwith a Smile]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}: Completely and ruthlessly subverted
** {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]}}: Just as subverted as the trope above
*** {{spoiler|Then [[Double Subverted]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[HerosHero's Muse]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[I Just Want to Be Loved]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Identical Grandson]]}}: The reason for the woman in the portrait walking about the mansion, although under normal circumstances, she does an remarkable job covering it up.
Line 82:
* {{spoiler|[[More Hero Than Thou]]}}: Decides to fight {{spoiler|Erika and Dlanor}} herself rather than expose Gaap to danger.
** [[This Is Gonna Suck]]
* {{spoiler|[[Murder -Suicide]]}}: Her true plan if {{spoiler|one personality hadn't won out by the second day}}. Thank you, Kinzo.
* {{spoiler|[[Never Found the Body]]}}: {{spoiler|There was no body to bury in the coffin in Episode 7. The same thing happens in Episode 8, seeing as it's presumed that she drowned.}}
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: Often. In the anime it comes across as a harsh braying. Ronove lampshades its inelegance, to her complete lack of concern.
Line 114:
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Breakdown]]}}
* [[Wicked Cultured]]
* {{spoiler|[[Zero -Approval Gambit]]}}
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Part of the outfit she wears when appearing to the adults at the beginning of the second arc.
 
Line 192:
----
* {{spoiler|[[Ambiguously Evil]]}}
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Lambda's actual power goes far beyond being able to kill unfailingly, and is either this or a [[Story -Breaker Power]] depending on your point of view: she has the ability to cause any event that she chooses to eventually happen, provided that who or whatever is trying to make it happen does not give up. However, her ability may be nullified if whatever is trying to make the event happen does stop trying, and she never says how long or how many failures it will take before the event happens. She basically has the power to guarantee that certain hard work will not go unrewarded.
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: According to EP8, she is ''literally'' made of candy.
* [[Cute Witch]]: ''Massively'' subverted.
Line 201:
** Whether this is intentional or not, Lambda also has a ''lot'' in common with Higurashi's Satoko (most notably her [[Noblewoman's Laugh]] + hand gesture and general trickster nature).
* {{spoiler|[[Friendly Enemy]]}}: The true relationship between her and Bernkastel. More the former then the latter, in fact, to stave off boredom.
* [[Go -Karting With Bowser]]: Bernkastel is her sworn enemy/love-hate buddy/plaything, and they've always been on opposite sides. It does not stop them from having slumber parties.
** {{spoiler|1=Averted. EP5 shows that Bernkastel and Lambdadelta have been friends and allies all along (and even hints that they are lovers), and that until that point they were pretending to be sworn enemies. The slumber party happened in EP4's ????, and was the first time that they clearly dropped the enemies act. It's only in EP8 that Lambda actually fights against Bernkastel, but since she's the [[Wild Card]] they go back to their usual relationship in the afterparty.}}
* [[Go Mad From the Isolation]]: We find that {{spoiler|in the past, Lambda was trapped in a logic error. It was so bad that she still seems to wonder if [[Cuckoo Nest|she isn't still trapped there and just hallucinating everything.]]}}
Line 224:
* [[Reality Warper]]
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Anime only. In the games they're more of an amber color.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Red to Bern's blue
* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: To Bern. {{spoiler|And while Bern's feelings for Lambda are a matter of the reader's perception, it's hard to call Lambda's love anything but genuine.}}
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Lambda's ability is first introduced as "the power to kill unfailingly." Not a lame power at all, but the other magical characters have no trouble killing people on top of all of their other abilities. Then the [[All There in the Manual|"Lambdadelta's Diary" TIP]] and EP5 reveal what her [[Story -Breaker Power|power]] [[Awesome but Impractical|actually]] is...
** Making a pact with her may end up giving you '''{{spoiler|[[Split Personality|Dissociative Personality Disorder]]}}'''.
* [[Wild Card]]
Line 289:
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: Since initially, we only get a bit of an inkling on how cruel she can really be.
* [[Enfant Terrible]]
* [[Full -Contact Magic]]: Eva uses surprisingly little magic on ''Ougon Musoukyouku'' compared to the other Beatrices, most of her attacks involve [[Simple Staff|clubbing]] and [[Kick Chick|kicking]] the enemy to death. Altough this can be explained since Eva herself is very good at martial arts.
* [[Groin Attack]]: Her grab in the fighting game.
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}: {{spoiler|1=During EP8. It's probably more accurate to call it a Heel ''Ange'' Turn, though.}}
Line 341:
* [[Purple Eyes]]
* {{spoiler|[[Rewriting Reality]]}}: Toya's stories somehow describe {{spoiler|what happened in every arc from the third to the sixth}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Story -Breaker Power]]}}: Literally.
** If you want to know how literal it is, {{spoiler|when Lambdadelta tries to attack her with magic, Featherine just says that she doesn't like the development of the story; she stops time, takes out the script of the story, erases and rewrites the part where Lambdadelta uses her magic, and edits the script to defeat Lambdadelta instantly. She doesn't even think about ''how'' she beat Lambdadelta. She says she'll "figure that out later."}}
