Line 24:
* [[Happiness in Slavery]]: Torako is happiest when she's letting another person make the decisions for her and generally treat her like a piece of property. She herself admits that she's a little screwed up in the head.
* [[Heartbroken Badass]]: Suffers from this twice, the first time in Season 2 when Asagi breaks up with her on a whim and the second time in Season 3 when she dumps her all over again. (She had just awoken from a coma with no memory of the last four months, and thought they were still together.)
** It certainly didn't help when she learned that Asagi really did care about her and saw her as more than just a sexual plaything, but abandoned her in the middle of a city overrun by zombies anyway.
* [[Instant Expert]]: One has to wonder how Torako was able to win so many fights despite having never even ''seen'' the inside of a [[Humongous Mecha]] before her first battle in one.
* [["It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It"]]: Torako likes not being given a say in the matter.
Line 47:
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: She is very self-conscious about her bust size, especially when compared to her more buxom friends.
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Or at least she could be if she wasn't so reckless and impulsive...
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: See [[Insane Troll Logic]] below.
* [[Bi the Way]]
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Unfortunately she's very, ''very'' lazy.
Line 113:
* [[Knife Nut]]
* [[Love Triangle]]: With Ai and Kokoro
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: His father died when he was still young, and his mother ''(In what she admits was the biggest mistake of her life)'' left him behind to fight a war.
* [[Ship Sinking]]: Two examples. First was his crush on Ran Kakizaki, which both characters' writers quickly realized had no chance of going anywhere. He was then paired up with Ai Tanagawa, followed by a long sequence of [[Will They or Won't They?]]. Then when they finally did his writer changed his mind ''again,'' and he is now being set up to get with ''Kokoro'' once his ship with Ai is sunk.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Mark
Line 358:
*** Though to be fair, it was his idea and they were both drunk.
* [[Good Bad Girl]]: She is implied to have been this in the past, but she's been trying to outgrow it.
* [[Good -Looking Privates]]
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: Twinkie, in reference to her mixed parentage. (Yellow on the outside, white on the inside.)
** Ena seems to have bestowed this nickname upon her sister Amber, too.
Line 442:
 
=== Ellen Ryougi ===
Mother to Shinji Ryougi and a veteran of two wars,
------
* [[Adult Child]]
Line 449:
* [[Missing Mom]]: For much of her son's life. She's currently learning the consequences of this.
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: She has one, it just takes a back seat to hug time more often than not.
* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]: Ellen honestly thought she'd be doing some good by leaving her family. But not only did she end up trapped in the country for far longer than she'd expected, the expertise and contacts she brought in ends up restarting the war.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: A counter-example.
* [[Sweater Girl]]
 
Line 497:
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* [[Star Boarding]]: She has recently begun to develop feelings for Sasuke, who by all appearances is more interested in Elesia.
* [[Stringy -Haired Ghost Girl]]: One reason she was so unpopular among the Yotsuba Gang was because she looked like this.
* [[Survivor Guilt]]: Especially since she'd promised {{spoiler|Ran}} she wouldn't let anything happen to her...
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Arguably her entire backstory up until Season 3.5, especially what happened to her family.
Line 524:
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: A bit of a Type A, doing her best to put on a smiling face for Rei's sake while hiding how depressed and helpless she really felt.
* [[Stringy -Haired Ghost Girl]]: Ran could be ''very'' creepy, whether she meant to be or not.
* [[The Woobie]]
 
Line 549:
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]
* [[Friends with Benefits]]: Had this relationship with Daisuke Oonishi, among others. Most recently with Reizo's brother Ichiro, it seems.
* {{spoiler|[[Good Girls Avoid Abortion]]: Averted ''hard.'' She wants to keep this a secret.}} Is oblivious to the fact that everyone and their mum's already know.
* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: [[All There in the Manual|Being from Osaka, and all]].
* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]
Line 607:
* [[Depending on the Writer]]: The Chihiro of Season 3 is ''very'' different from the Chihiro of Seasons 2 and 3.5.
* [[Running Gag]]: People not noticing she's in the room, forgetting who she is, and generally acting as though she doesn't exist.
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]: For a time in Season 3. She is currently getting psychiatric therapy to combat this.
 
=== Miura Hayasaka ===
Line 678:
* [[Captain Obvious]]
* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]]: Also unceremoniously killed off between seasons.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: One of the reasons he was so unpopular was his tendency to blame virtually all of his problems on his over-the-top abusive mother, and use his awful childhood to justify all the crap he'd pull.
** Nevermind that one member of the cast was raised to be a killing machine, and one spent six years as a lab rat, subjected to unspeakable tortures and psychological training, and both still end up more likable than him.
* [[Expy]]: Of Osaka
Line 769:
* [[Modern Major-General]] - She's exceptional at everything she attempts ''except'' carrying out invasions. After viewing a few math problems, she learned how to solve high-school math in the blink of an eye, and high-level math as fast as she can write; she can learn entire languages just by hearing a few spoken sentences; she's a godlike drummer just ''out of nowhere.'' Still can't conquer a small cafe out on the beach to save her life.
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: To Mark.
* [[Prehensile Hair|Tentacle Hair (theatre)]]: She has ten super-strong, super-fast, super-dextrous tentacles growing out of her head. They're more useful than her hands most of the time.
* [[Replacement Goldfish|Replacement Squid]]: To Padudu, as Mark's overambitious waterborne-animal-based little minion. [[Lampshaded Trope|Lampshaded.]]
* [[Verbal Tic]] - "Stop making fun of the way I talk~de geso!"
Line 789:
A southern gunrunner and Captain of the ''Slithery Dee.'' A habitual liar, he claims to have served in the US Army, the US Marine Corps, the French Foreign Legion, six or so Black-Ops Teams, and the [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Salvation Army.]]
------
* [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]: If he is to be believed, Adolf Hitler had a son and/or a clone, Idi Amin had an "even more evil brother" named Jeffrey... and Dillon helped assassinate them all.
* [[Big Scary Black Man]]
* [[Blatant Lies]]
Line 843:
Randomly pops up for no particular reason.
------
* [[Drop in-In Character]]
* [[Expy]]: Of Igor from ''[[Young Frankenstein]]''.
 
Line 969:
------
 
* [[Bi the Way]]: Though being in the military has made him more used to men, Altarians make no distinction for gender, species or ''anything else''.
* [[Expy]]: Altarians in YiF share a name, traits and some history with the faction from GalCiv, but much license is taken with their culture. Mainly for laughs.
* [[Knight Templar]]: His entire species used to be like this, with dire consequences.
Line 997:
* [[Psycho Lesbian]]: In the second and third seasons. She seems to be trying to get over it by Season 3.5, however.
* [[Red Right Hand]]: After Kagura punches her onto a outcropping of volcanic rocks, she bears an uncanny resemblance to [[Batman|Harvey Dent]].
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]
 
=== Ayako Kimura/Lady Kimura ===
Line 1,159:
------
* [[Chick Magnet]]
* [[Childhood Friend Romance]]: With Chainshaw.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Nice Guy]]
Line 1,166:
 
=== Chainsaw Takino ===
The daughter of Tardboy and Torako and the second oldest of the future kids.
------
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Come on, her parents named her ''Chainsaw.''
