62----
63!!!Tropes that apply to [=MasaeAnela=]:
64* AesopAmnesia: Discussed in the "Chilly Waters" ''Mario Party 3'' board with Chuggaaconroy, in which she says that every time she plays ''Mario Party'' against him for filler content in between [=LPs=], she gets angry and swears off doing it again - only for the memories to fade by the time she needs filler content again in four months' time.
65* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: [=MomAnela=]. During her guest appearances in her daughter's videos, expect a [[https://youtu.be/7kkWMNTp6dI?t=285 jab at Masae's bust size]] among other things, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7A2K9-tbTE&t=19m50s inappropriate suggestions]] as to where to get a tattoo of [[Platform/GameAndWatch Mr. Game & Watch]].
66* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[LetsPlay/ProtonJon Jon]] accuses her of being a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots robot]] as a voice filter sounded eerily like her, Masae corrects him and says she's a {{cyborg}} as Franchise/{{ROBOCOP}}S have feelings too!
67* {{Angrish}}: Dissolves into this whenever something REALLY frustrates her. Particularly whenever she dies in the red coin secret levels of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''.
68* AprilFoolsDay: For her gag on April Fools 2023, she makes a VirtualYoutuber debut as her pet bird Mipha.
69* AsianAndNerdy: Or at least Asian and ''Geeky''. She's part Japanese, part Filipina, and an avid gamer.
70* AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption: Comes up (and then immediately lampshaded) in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Master Quest'', part 32:
71--> '''Masae:''' And with that, we have arrived at the most [[SceneryPorn gorgeous]]...STALFOS.
72* AtomicFBomb: [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Believe it or not]], she has dropped one. During a Pictionary segment as part of the annual TRG Colosseum, someone correctly guessed "snow" and Masae was so exasperated that she let out a loud "What the fuck?!". She and Adriana immediately tried to cover it up, but it was too late. [[LetsPlay/ProtonJon Jon]] even left it uncensored in the VOD.
73* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Many a sentence has been interrupted by her getting distracted by something.
74** She attributes most of her failures in ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'' to this, stating that it's difficult for her to focus on the gameplay, the game's presentation, and her commentary all at once, leading to her absentmindedly losing large amounts of health very quickly.
75** NoEnding: She may be talking about something really interesting, get distracted, and you'll never know the end as she forgot what she was talking about.
76* BadassAdorable: Yes, even in real life; she's a blackbelt in karate.
77** Exaggerated when WebVideo/StephenVlog shows that she carries a knife in her purse.
78-->'''Chuggaaconroy:''' You never would picture someone so adorable to carry such a deadly weapon.
79** Up to eleven and beyond in [[https://twitter.com/masaeanela/status/741447367296176128 this]] photograph of her calmly handling a wild snake she found.
80* BerserkButton:
81** The aforementioned unnecessary textbox in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]''. Her reactions range from either a quiet sigh to her ranting about how useless the textboxes are.
82** "Saggy Nipples".
83** When she can't fit Rupees into her wallet.
84** Autoscrolling levels.
85** Calling her cute. However, she doesn't seem to mind her fans calling her cute, but she openly expresses annoyance when her friends do it.
86* BigWhat:
87** Her reaction to getting the action command on Geno Whirl right, doing 9999 damage (which is a OneHitKill by the game's standards). Complete shock ensued.
88** She responds with this when [=MomAnela=] comments that the number she rolled (25) is her bust size.
89* BlahBlahBlah: PlayedForLaughs in episode 5 in her ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' playthrough. She reads a tutorial on a game mechanic, though it became so long she fast forwards and imposes slowly-appearing "Blah"s in post production. A "Tidal Wave" is thrown in as a reference to ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'', another game she played.
90* BuffySpeak: Mostly in the repetitive form of "this is really, really, really X" or "I'm super, super, super Y".
91** Though in her second Purple Coin episode of Super Mario Galaxy, she does refer to a metal detector as a "beep-beep-o-meter".
92* CallForward: In episode 39 of Donkey Kong Country Returns, when she has Chuggaaconroy as a guest, Masae pronounces the word "geyser" as "geezer", prompting an amused response from Chugga. Eight months later, that pronunciation would pop up again in Chugga's LP of ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1''.
93* CatchPhrase: [[LargeHam CHIPMUNK MASAE, ACTIVATE!!!]]
94** ''"No sir! Do not want!"'' Whenever something bad starts happening.
95** "''AWE''-some!"
96** "[[BuffySpeak That was...something]]" (usually after beating a difficult level after many attempts)
97** "K - O - N - G - Kong!" when she gets all the K,O,N,G letters in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''.
98** "OH/NO, WAIT!" Whenever she's about to fall to her death.
99** "Ha-HA!" when she has a EurekaMoment or succeeds at something after trying several times.
100** "Do a little dance, and...''SHINE!''" when she picks up a Shine Sprite in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''.
101** "SO ''PRETTY!!!''" whenever Shiek disappears after teaching a new ocarina song.
102** "BUTTON MASH, BUTTON MASH, BUTTON MASH!" snarled through gritted teeth as a MadnessMantra whenever she has to, well, button mash.
103** "STOP YOURSELF" in regards to Chuggaaconroy's terrible puns or over-the-top silliness.
104** "Remember when I said...", sarcastically referring to some stated goal or gameplay observation which she failed immediately after saying it.
105** "Goodness gracious."
106* CatGirl: Her "Chibi Masae" avatar as seen in her channel icons often has kitty ears. She also happens to own these ears in real life.
107* CosmicPlaything: Just about ''nothing'' goes her way in Space Land ''VideoGame/MarioParty2''. Her coins get robbed by either Chugga or the [=CPUs=], zapped to zero by board events (Bowser Coin Beam or Bowser himself), gets her stars stolen in every which way, and gets lousy rolls whenever crucial. By the last 5 turns, she had '''absolutely nothing'''. No stars, no coins, '''''NOTHING'''''. [[spoiler: And yet, despite ALL of this, the trope is '''''MASSIVELY''''' [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] at the very end, as she manages to bounce back from last to 2nd, thanks to two bonus stars, one of which was only because she won a minigame at ZERO SECONDS REMAINING.]]
108* CriticalDissonance: {{Invoked}} in her ''Ocarina of Time Master Quest'' LP when she talks about how everyone seems to hate the Water Temple but she loves it. She also notes that in her earlier LP of the original version of the game she bowed to peer pressure and pretended to dislike it.
109* CurseCutShort: Has several of these in Super Mario RPG episode 29, when she repeatedly tries to leap from one beanstalk to another hanging in midair and fails each time.
110* CuteButCacophonic: Chibi-Masae, especially in ''Pikmin''.
111* CutenessOverload:
112** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'' she often stops to gush over the cats and dogs that follow her around in Hyrule Castle Town.
113** She ''adores'' Yoshis. In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'', she absolutely MELTS when she ends up in Yo'ster Isle, and in ''VideoGame/PaperMario'', she gets incredibly excited when Lavalava Island is the next location, because it has the Yoshi Village.
114** The ''entirety'' of ''VideoGame/KirbysEpicYarn'' has her suffering from this pretty much nonstop.
115* CutenessProximity: While this pops up plenty of times in ''{{VideoGame/Okami}}'', she dives headlong into it upon entering the Sparrow Inn.
116* TheCutie: It doesn't matter what mood she's in, she's an unstoppable force of cuteness.
117* DamnYouMuscleMemory:
118** In ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', she has numerous instances where she accidentally discards a Copy Ability or summons Gooey while attempting to dismount from an Animal Friend, due to how different the controls are across the ''Kirby'' series.
119** ''Very much so'' lampshaded in ''Ocarina of Time 3D Master Quest''. She thoroughly nitpicks the ocarina's rearranged button layout compared to the original N64's layout, making it much harder for her to remember each of the songs. To top it off, she displays a diagram for explanation.
120** ''Paper Mario'' is littered with this in nearly every episode, as the Virtual Console port of the game has a significantly different default button map than the N64 original, despite the Wii U's controllers having enough buttons and directional inputs to parallel an N64 controller and then some.[[note]](Both the Wii U's controllers and the N64 controller feature an A button, a B button, a Start button, an analog stick, a D-pad, and L, R, and Z triggers, while the Gamepad, Pro Controller, and Wii Classic Controllers all have a secondary analog stick that can substitute for the N64's C-buttons.)[[/note]] The button maps for Wii U Virtual Console titles can be customized, however.
121** She struggles to adapt to the mechanics of the first ''Donkey Kong Country'' due to playing the Returns games first.
122* DeadpanSnarker: In regards to Chugga, she's just as merciless as Protonjon.
123* EatingTheEyeCandy: She spends quite a bit of time taking a good look at Shiek and gushing at how pretty he is in ''Ocarina of Time 3D''.
124* EpicFail: Losing her entire Pikmin squad in one go to Emperor Bulblax. [[spoiler: Maybe rushing it after it was downed was a bad idea...]]
125** In Episode 3 of ''VideoGame/KirbyMassAttack'', she passes by a locked treasure chest containing a medal, finds the key to the chest immediately afterwards... and then just keeps going forward without opening the chest, loudly wondering throughout the entirety of the level where that medal she missed could possibly be, and then wondering why she never got to use that key at the end of the level. The title of the episode is, appropriately, "Turn Around".
126* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Pretty much every time she starts up a video, she does a "happy dance" ingame (which usually consists of the player character running in a tiny circle.)
127* FailedASpotCheck:
128** She COMPLETELY misses the second shine sprite of the infamous Secret of the Village Underside mission in episode 30 of the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' LP. She realizes too late of this mistake and has to do it all over again.
129** During episode 3 of ''VideoGame/KirbyMassAttack'', Masae finds a key for a chest which she's uncertain about its location even though [[EpicFail she already passed it along the way]]. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by the post-production text and the episode's title: "Turn Around".
130** During Episode 88 of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', Masae fails to notice a chest. Repeatedly. At one point, Zelos is literally touching the chest, ''and she still doesn't notice it''. Fittingly, she added post-production text saying "OH MY GOD" with an arrow pointing to the chest.
131* {{Fangirl}}: Of [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Dunban]], to the point of borderline PerverseSexualLust ([[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Masae is innocent, what are you talking about?]]). Heck, in a ''VideoGame/StardewValley'' stream, she confesses she named a horse after him just so she can say [[DoubleEntendre "I'm riding Dunban all night long."]] Not that [[MrFanservice any of us]] [[StupidSexyFlanders can blame her]].
132* FreudianSlip: She makes [[https://clips.twitch.tv/masaeanela/BusyRatEagleEye a rather impressive one]] during a ''Stardew Valley'' stream.
133* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler:Had she not won the last mini game in ''Mario Party 2'', she would've finished in dead last. The one mini game win on the last turn let her win the Coin Star. Sure she didn't finish 1st, but she was content not being last, and she could have won if she had beaten Chugga in one more minigame (which would have given her the Minigame Star) or had [[BornLucky Chugga not gotten ridiculously lucky by getting two Hidden Stars]].]]
134* FunSize: Chibi Masae, who appears in her channel icon and occasionally in her videos, usually to point something out. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As the name implies]], she's a chibified version of Masae, dressed according to whichever game is being played.
135* GenkiGirl: As if it weren't obvious enough.
136* GoshDangItToHeck: Rarely uses anything stronger than "frick!" and "crap!"
137* GroinAttack: Hilariously [[AvertedTrope averted]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2AqcJLb5IA Part 3]] of her playthrough of ''Twilight Princess'''s Cave of Ordeals. After a Darknut knocks Link to the ground, it swings its blade down [[ThatsGottaHurt straight between Link's legs]]. Cue Masae crying out "Ooooh, my crotch, my crotch!" despite the fact that Link doesn't visibly take any damage. She later claims she could ''[[ShareTheMalePain feel]]'' the pain from that.
138* HonorBeforeReason: Takes the Lazy Shell off Peach because she feels it's too good.
139* IconicItem: At conventions, she always wears a Pikachu on her head as a way of letting her fans pick her out in a crowd.
140* IDontLikeYouAndYouDontLikeMe: Says this to a Monty Mole enemy in part 23 of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''.
141* ImmediateSelfContradiction: A gameplay equivalent. Frequently after stating a goal or observing a tactical problem to keep in mind, she'll instantly fail at goal or fail to heed her own words about being careful. In response, she says "Remember when I said [thing she said moments just before]?"
142* ItWillNeverCatchOn: In the very first video she ever uploaded, Masae commented on how she was "giggling like an idiot". Little did she know that her giggle would go on to become a signature part of her commentaries.
143* KleptomaniacHero: In her livestream of Skyrim, she stole everything she could.
144* LargeHam: Especially when something startles her.
145* LikeBrotherAndSister: According to her, she and [[LetsPlay/ProtonJon Jon]] bicker like ''[[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy sisters]]''.
146* LoveHateRelationship: Masae loves Volvagia's 3D design, but she hates him for what he did in her original LP of Ocarina of Time.
147* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: [[{{Tomboy}} "Manly"]] Masae is more masculine than Chugga.
148* MoneyForNothing: She often complains about how easy it is to acquire Rupees in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'' and tends to resort to using the Rupee-draining magic armour to make space in her wallet for Rupees she can't acquire. Needless to say, the game seems to be fond of showering her with money she hardly needs.
149* MotorMouth: Whenever she activates "Chipmunk Masae" (in other words, speeds up her recording to get through tedious gameplay faster). This is evident in her playthrough of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'s'' Cave of Ordeals.
150* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In her Pikmin LP, Chibi-Masae is thirsty for world domination and treats the Pikmin as expendable pawns, but when she loses 97 Pikmin is one fell swoop, she feels genuine remorse and promises to avenge them.
151* NiceGirl: Masae is very lovable and kind to her fans, and genuinely enjoys interacting with them on streams and social media.
152* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: She never forgot the first time she faced Volvagia and LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun made fun of her massive EpicFail. The kicker is that his comment on that video was the very first comment he ever left on her channel.
153* OddFriendship: Her friendship with LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}} may seem like this with Lucah loving dirty jokes while Masae [[AccidentalInnuendo tries (and sometimes fails) to]] avoid them. But Masae's mother, [=MomAnela=], is a DirtyOldWoman (well, not very old), so while not too fond of them, Masae is used to dirty jokes.
154* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Whether she's on her channel, on other people's channels, or even in people's [[WebVideo/StephenVlog real life vlogs]], she's referred to exclusively as Masae. There are [[https://youtu.be/ovUG7NhrNh0?t=61 very]] [[https://youtu.be/uT4xgIAPoSo?t=1897 few]] [[https://youtu.be/UehD8qTqFAs?t=143 occasions]] [[https://clips.twitch.tv/HedonisticFaithfulTigerPhilosoraptor where]] someone calls her by her real name, Shauntelle.
155* PrecisionFStrike: Subverted in Super Mario Sunshine, episode 25: "Getting real tired of your SHIP, game. What, that boat is looking at me funny! It is!"
156** Played straight in her first stream of VVVVVV, when she let one slip in rage. It's censored in the [=YouTube=] release, though.
157*** She let out another one in her third stream of the game, and it isn't censored in the [=YouTube=] release.
158** She also did one in Pikmin, after Emperor Bulblax caught her off-guard and scared her.
159* RageQuit: Does one at the end of part 58 of Yoshi's Island, upon realizing that all her efforts amounted to [[ShaggyDogStory nothing]].
160** She does this again in part 17 of Donkey Kong Country Returns. [[spoiler: She comes back a new gamer [[TranquilFury and silently tears right through the level in one try and only got hit once.]]]]
161* RedOniBlueOni: Serves as the Blue Oni to LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}}'s Red Oni on LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys. Note that even when they're not collaborating on TRG, Chugga still serves this role on projects done with Masae on their own individual channels.
162** Masae also serves the role of the Blue Oni to [=MomAnela's=] Red Oni, with [=MomAnela=] being a lot more crude and joking than Masae.
163* RunningGag:
164** Reacting to the unnecessary text boxes redundantly describing items in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''.
165** Repeatedly dying (or at least losing large amounts of health) in nearly every episode of ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'', with the clincher being the fact that ''Kirby'' games are designed to be '''easy'''.
166** "[[SceneryPorn SO PRETTY!]]" in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''.
167** More often that not, she keeps getting bananas at the end barrel in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''.
168** She has a tendency to [[AccidentalMisnaming call Mallow Geno]], and often doesn't notice. Post-production text pops up now and then to take note of that.
169** She constantly refers to ship parts in ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'' as treasures, with post-production text keeping a counter. As the gag went on, she [[VerbalBackspace goes to correct herself]].
170** In ''VideoGame/PaperMario'', Merlee appearing to aid [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper when her spells are not necessary]].
171** Also in ''VideoGame/PaperMario'', when she catches sight of Chuck Quizmo, [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny immediately forgetting what she was doing]] to shout "[[SuddenlyShouting CHUCK QUIZMO!!!]]"
172** In later episodes of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', her increasingly frustrated post-editing annotations pointing out that she keeps ignoring a shortcut that would get her to the Garden Dome at the top of the Comet Observatory faster.
173* TheScrappy:
174** In-universe, she REALLY hates [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Ooccoo]], as she constantly freaks out about her bizarre appearance, refers to her as "Saggy Nipples", and is quick to dismiss any theory that the Oocca may be descended from the Loftwings from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]''.
175** Also in-universe, Masae repeatedly rags on Gooey and the Animal Friends (except Pitch) in ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'' for either being rendered obsolete shortly after obtaining them, being hard to play in certain areas where they're required (case in point, Rick during Cloudy Park's first and fifth missions), or, in the case of Gooey, being completely useless and showing up at the wrong times.
176** Again in-universe, she voices her disdain with ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'''s Karol during her Let's Play of that game.
177* SelfImposedChallenge: Repeated unintentional examples in her blind stream play of ''VideoGame/{{Tunic}}'' due to [[FailedASpotCheck failing to realise she hadn't upgraded anything]], or not knowing where to find the shield before fighting a key early boss.
178* SharedFamilyQuirks: Not only are both of her parents gamers, but as seen in her Mother's Day ''[[VideoGame/WiiParty Wii Party U: Highway Rollers]]'' LP, [=MomAnela=] is just as dorky as her.
179* ShrinkingViolet: According to part 1 of her ''Ocarina of Time 3D'' playthrough, she used to be a severe case of this before she got into Let's Playing. It still shows up from time to time, mainly in her reluctance to sing despite nearly all of her viewers repeatedly complimenting her singing voice.
180* ShoutOut: In ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'', She makes casual references to LetsPlay/ProtonJon when a background object gives her an egg.
181* SignatureHeadgear: If you go to a covention and you see someone walking around with a little [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] on their head, it's probably Masae. It's become such a trademark that even her portrait on the [[https://www.therunawayguys.com/masaeanela Runaway Guys website]] depicts her wearing it.
182* SignatureLaugh: A cute little giggle.
183* SoundEffectBleep: [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Clanker's Cavern]] is "gross as sh*fart*!"
184* SpeakOfTheDevil: LetsPlay/ProtonJon has a tendency to appear in her Twitch chat ''immediately'' on her mentioning his name, leading to ParanoiaFuel (he also does this to LetsPlay/StephenPlays).
185* SuddenlySpeaking: Chibi-Masae in the Pikmin end-slates, after previously never saying anything other than "derp."
186* {{Superdickery}}: The video preview image for Part 6 of ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'' has a screenshot of Mario fighting [[ExpositionFairy Goombario]]. In the game, this is not an actual battle, just Twink giving a tutorial on ActionCommands.
187* TakeOverTheWorld: Played for laughs in her Pikmin LP. Each of her diary entries has her chronicling her plans of world domination and is vaguely related to the events of each episode.
188* TemptingFate: [[FinaglesLaw Happens]] ''[[IsThatTheBestYouCanDo all]] [[HopeSpot the]] [[FromBadToWorse dang]] [[SpannerInTheWorks time]]'', often followed by Masae [[YouJustHadToSayIt berating herself for it]]. To take one example, when she comments in episode 6 of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' that a particular secret level isn't too difficult, she ''immediately'' dies and then has a lot of trouble beating it.
189* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Her word-for-word reaction to the Pachinko board secret level in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''.
190* ThirdPersonPerson: She likes calling herself Masae, even in place of "I".
191* {{Tomboy}}: Sometimes talks about how "Manly Masae" she is.
192* TooAwesomeToUse: Has a tendency to hoard items [=RPGs=], such as ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMario''.
193* TheUnfavourite: Yellow Pikmin.
194* UnfortunateCharacterDesign: [[invoked]]Is unable to looks at [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Ooccoo]]'s neck crest and not see a pair of low-hanging woman's breasts. She even refers to the creature as "saggy nipples".
195* TheUnpronounceable: "Burst Squirt" in episode 20 of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''.
