Umineko: When They Cry/Characters/Witches: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|[[Ambiguously Evil]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ambiguous Gender]]}}: {{spoiler|Beatrice herself is treated as female, but the story is intentionally vague about Yasu.}}

* [[Art Evolution]]: In her first anime appearance she has a statuesque, obviously supernatural beauty; once showing that is out of the way she quickly becomes [[Generic Cuteness|cute in the same art style as everyone else]] over the course of a couple episodes.

* [[Badass Damsel]]: {{spoiler|Late in the series}}.

* [[Bookworm]]: Well, where did you think all that [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]-ness came from?

* [[Butterfly of Death and Rebirth]]

* [[Combat Stilettos]]: Some of Beatrice attacks on ''Ougon Musoukyoku'' involve her kicking the enemy using her high-heels, and in fact, she can run with them on.

* [[Composite Character]]: An somewhat in-universe version of the trope. She is mainly based in the 3rd Beatrice, but also seems to remember being the first two was well.

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Her relationship with {{spoiler|Battler}} plays this theme hard.

* {{spoiler|[[Glove Slap]]}}: To Erika in EP6.

* {{spoiler|[[Go Out With a Smile]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}: Completely and ruthlessly subverted

* {{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.}}

* [[Obliviously Evil]]: Episode 3 implies she sees nothing wrong with what she's been doing because in the end she always fixes what she breaks.

* {{spoiler|[[The Ophelia]]}}

* [[Obvious Rule Patch]]: On ''Ougon Musoukyouku'' Beatrice could do crazy combos like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKUdhImjEAo&feature=related this], which lasted '''''278''''' hits (even a [[Counter Attack|damage touch]] can't save you from a super, or from a dizzy-combo), the very next patch [[Nerf|modifying]] the move to prevent these kinds of abuses.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Her relationship with Maria, {{spoiler|and Natsuhi in Arc 5, although that Beato was a result of Natsuhi's delusions.}}

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Once the [[Expository Hairstyle Change]] has taken place.

* [[Really 700 Years Old|Really 1000 Years Old]]: {{spoiler|Actually, not really.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Replacement Goldfish]]}}: In EP6, {{spoiler|Battler tries to resurrect Beatrice, but ends up bringing back a version that is almost nothing like the old Beatrice except in appearance. ''That'' doesn't go over too well.}}

** [[Blank Slate]]: {{spoiler|Resurrected!}}Beatrice.

* {{spoiler|[[Fallen Hero]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Friendly Enemy]]}}: The true relationship between her and Lambadelta. More the former then the latter, to stave off boredom.

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Ougon Musou Kyouku Cross has Bern relying on weaponized fragments, hungry black cats, and blue serpent beams as part of her arsenal of moves.

* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]}}: {{spoiler|Gets away with a few punches to the face.}}

* [[Reality Warper]]

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]

* {{spoiler|[[Rogue Protagonist]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Sore Loser]]: Her displeasure in losing becomes apparent in Chiru as the games progress further.}}

* [[Expy]]: Of Takano, from [[Higurashi]]

** Curiously, she shares [[Fuyuka Ooura|her seiyuu]] with Takano's younger self .

* {{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.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: She signs off on Eva-Beatrice's succession because she feels for her bad childhood.

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Can be described as a Magical Lesbian Loli Yandere. Yeeep.

* {{spoiler|[[Obfuscating Stupidity]]}}

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Toward Bernkastel. {{spoiler|At least until Arc 5, when Lambda and Bern drop the act that they are mortal enemies.}}

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Anime only. In the games they're more of an amber color.

* [[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...

* [[Nice Hat]]: A [[Southern Belle]]-tastic one worn at a jaunty angle, no less. Some theorize that the hat is actually eating her head.

* [[No Fourth Wall]]: During the infamous Krauss vs. Goat scene.

* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: In the fourth arc, she is sometimes aware of the user interface.

* [[Sexy Mentor]]

* [[Summon Magic]]: Her meta-super summons ''fricking Odin'' and throws a giant spear at her enemy. On a minor scale, she can summon the goats to aid her.

* [[Tsundere]]: Will suddenly and viciously morph into a type-B when in the presence of Gaap.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Fourth arc

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]

 

* [[Oh Crap]]: Her reaction to Beatrice denying the existence of all witches near the end of EP3 has her panicking. She gets held down by Ronove as Beatrice finishes the denial, and there's nothing Evatrice can do about it.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Kind of. She's technically about as old as Eva, despite appearing as a younger version of her.

* [[Shadow Archetype]]

* [[Simple Staff]]: It acts as her own version of the Ushiromiya Emblem.

* [[Smug Snake]]: She's incredibly arrogant, treats her allies poorly whenever they fail to entertain her and she acts like a total jerk when she feels safe. So naturally, she's reduced to a screaming mess when the situation inevitably ceases to go her way.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Experiences this several times, especially when she learns that she can't destroy Beatrice's heart but tries to squash it beneath her foot anyway, as well as her [[Oh Crap]] moment near the end of EP3.

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]
