Characters / Girls' Frontline: Handguns

Go To

Shared Tropes

  • Battle Aura: The main purpose of HGs is to provide strong Status Buffs to surrounding teammates via commands and signals, similar to field commanders giving orders to their troops. It's only fitting that handguns were often the primary firearms for field officers during the early 20th century.
  • Hollywood Silencer: All HG T-Dolls are capable of equipping silencers regardless of whether they're a revolver or not. By their design, most revolvers have a small gap between the cylinder and the actual barrel itself, presenting an exit for expanding gasses and noise. The only exception to this rule is Nagant M1895, as that revolver was specifically made and loaded with necked cartridges that eliminate this gap, allowing the gun to be silenced.
  • Innate Night Vision: In addition to the buffs they provide, HGs also extend the visual range of their echelons by one node during night battles. Amusingly, as is demonstrated in the official 4-koma by AC130, an echelon does not lose their night vision benefits should the HG fall in combat.

  • Combat Sadomasochist: She finds receiving pain to be equally as exciting as inflicting it.
  • Crippling Overspecialization: PPK's utility is severely stunted unless grouped with a three-RF squad, or a three-MG plus 1 SG formation, as her tile buffs only cover one spot in front of her and the entire backline.
  • Dominatrix: When she's not punishing enemy T-dolls, she likes to apply her domineering ways towards the Commander.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: Different-length socks, the right one reaching higher than the left.
  • Glass Cannon: She has incredibly high S-ranked Evasion in exchange for an absolutely dismal C-ranked HP rating.
  • Japanese Pronouns: Notable here because in the JP script (and thus voiceover), she's... kind of making up her own pronoun. She refers to herself as "atakushi", which is a bizarre hybrid of "atashi" and "watakushi" and is, uh, not really a generally-accepted real pronoun. This appears to be her attempt at coming across as both high-and-mighty and also youthful; it's clearly meant to be up to the viewer how it really comes across.
  • Starter Mon: Starting players will gain her for free as achievement reward for killing one enemy for the first time. And Map 1-1 has exactly one enemy.

  • Crutch Character: M1911 is unique among starter HGs due to her smoke grenade skill, which is valuable to have in nearly every situation. Her good tile coverage also means that she could serve as a good support unit until the mid-to-late game with enough investment, which should be cheap considering her 2-star rarity. That being said, she's a practical Master of None, as while having her on an echelon does confer tactical bonuses, neither her performance nor the actual buffs themselves are particularly amazing. Her usefulness is extended into the late game with her MOD3, though there are far better 5-star T-Dolls that could fill her role and do a better job once you've unlocked them. M1911 remains a viable buffer, off-DPS, and smoker if you're on a budget, however.
  • Dreadful Musician: She is depicted as horribly tone deaf in the Madness Chapter anime, where her attempt at coaxing the nearby Sangvis Ferri forces into a temporary truce by singing to them prompts the enemy into shelling the shit out of her position with artillery instead.
  • Guns Akimbo: Notably, her two guns have different finishes, the left one being stainless and the right one being blued. In her MOD3 outfit she swaps hands with the guns.
  • Idiot Hair: Sports a short strand sprouting from the top of her head.
  • If It's You, It's Okay: If set as the secretary, she wouldn't mind being stared at and touched by her "Darling", namely, you.
  • Only Sane Man: During Chapter 2's night battles, she's easily the most normal and level-headed t-doll in the operation, which consists of the likes of Thompson and MAC-10.
  • Power Up Letdown: Aside from new CGs and very minimal stat cap increases, all her MOD3 offers is a thoroughly-mediocre unique ammo equipment. Most players are content with leaving her at MOD2 for this reason, as it doesn't justify the 1,200 Memory Fragments needed to upgrade her to MOD3.
  • The Rival: M9 considers her one. M1911 doesn't feel the same way and is exasperated that M9 treats their interactions as a competition.
  • Sensory Abuse: Her second skill gives her gun arguably the loudest report in the game, even over the rifle T-Dolls.
  • Shout-Out:
    • Her "Desperado" second skill, giving the 7 next shots she makes after launching a smoke grenade extra damage, is a reference to WWI American soldier Alvin York, who killed six charging German soldiers with an M1911 using only six bullets.
    • The different finishes on her pistols are a reference to Devil May Cry, Dante's trademark pistols being heavily customized M1911s. It's made more apparent with her MOD3, where she switches hands with her guns to match Dante's, holding the blued one with her left hand and the nickel-plated one with her right.
  • Wearing a Flag on Your Head: Befitting her use of one of the most iconically-American firearms ever, she wears a tie with the American flag pattern on it.

Voiced by: Narumi Shinohara

  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: Her combat strategy boils down to "form ranks, walk in a straight line, keep firing and not a step backwards", just like during the early days of World War 2. Needless to say, she folds like wet paper when facing more tactically flexible opponents.
  • Dub Name Change: Gets renamed to simply "M1895" in the English release.
  • Hollywood Silencer: Actually averted in her case. The Nagant M1895 was designed for use with special necked cartridges that eliminate the flash gap common in other revolvers, allowing it to use silencers without problem. Her special MOD3 equipment is one such silencer.
  • The Napoleon: She is deeply insecure about her short stature despite her veterancy pride, and expresses annoyance at Commanders patting her head or treating her like a child. She secretly drinks milk, in hopes of (eventually) getting taller.
  • Older and Wiser: How she sees herself, especially compared to her juniors P38 and P99. Her MOD story focuses on her realizing that her "wisdom" is more her being stuck in her ways than anything else.
  • Older Than They Look: Repeatedly refers to herself as an old lady and other T-Dolls as children, despite her appearance, which does hold some water since the Nagant M1895 was invented over a hundred years ago as of the game's release, and three-quarters into another century by the game's 2060 setting.

  • Guns Akimbo: Wields a P38 in each in her hand.
  • Hidden Buxom: Compare her appearace in her summer costume to her default one.
  • Idol Singer: If her lines are to be believed. She refers to training as "rehearsals", her comrades at home as "fans", the echelon's movement zone as her "stage", and dislikes being the "center". She outright confirms this with her Valentine's Day quote.
    P38: "Idols are prohibited from having romantic relationships. So, please settle with this obligatory chocolate for now, kyaaaha~♪"
  • Never My Fault: During Far Side of The Sea, she and R93 used Griffin CQC against the Commander, as they mistook their seagrass-covered body for a sea monster. After learning what the "sea monster" really was, P38 asks the following, apparently having forgotten the beating she just administered:
    "Who beat you up this badly?!"

  • Idol Singer: She talks as if she's one of these.

  • Guns Akimbo: Her MOD 3 gives her a second pistol.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: She prefers being called "Viking" rather than "MP-446".
  • Third-Person Person: Usually refers to herself in the third person rather than directly.
  • Taking You with Me: While locked inside a secret SF warehouse full of Red Goliaths thanks to P7 taunting her over her fear of the dark, Viking grabs one and uses it as an impromptu suicide vest to prevent Scarecrow from directly shooting her, knowing they would both be blown to kingdom come.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's terrified of the dark to the point she gets panic attacks if there's no lights nearby.

    Tokarev: I'll say it only this time...at least I was used for a century.
  • Going Commando: The cosplay guide released with her "Griffon Dancer" costume shows that she's not wearing any underwear beneath said outfit.
  • Gratuitous Russian: Her Logistics lines are in Russian.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Seeing Welrod sacrifice herself to save Tokarev and other Dolls inspired her to do the same, delaying Carter's rebels so that what's left of G&K can escape the base.
  • Tender Tears: Her Heavy Damage, Retreat, and Repair lines give off this, almost to the degree of Tears of Remorse.
  • Thousand-Yard Stare: Her "Griffon Dancer" costume has her look at the viewer with empty, hollow eyes giving the impression that she has seen some shit.
  • Silk Hiding Steel: Her official profile describes her as being polite, approachable, and innocent but also highly independent and capable of holding her own should the situation require it.

    Makarov: Sorry, we need INFILTRATORS, not two Crazy Ivans.

  • Dub Name Change: In an attempt to avoid copyright issues, her name has been shortened to "G17" for the EN and JP servers. Glock doesn't like it when their guns are given the A.K.A.-47 treatment in video games, or when other companies make pistols that look similar to what they make.
  • Guns Akimbo: Wields two Glock 17s in each of her hands.
  • Tsundere: Somewhat. One of her secretary lines tells you to stop gaping at her because you look stupid; another one has her using a "special skill" of observing humans on you, telling you not to hide your face and that you won't get away.

  • Arbitrary Skepticism: In MADCORE's 4koma and Madness Chapter, she tells a random female Griffin commander girl who thought Fairies were literal magic by saying "magic doesn't exist, otherwise we would've wiped out Sangvis Ferri a long time ago". This is occurring right as MADCORE's white-haired, monocle-wearing Jerkass of a commander is running from the T-Doll production room screaming for his life as an eldritch, censored mass of tentacles grabs him. The female commander humorously sees fit not to tell Type 59 about anything that's happening behind her.
  • Bespectacled Cutie: An adorable cute girl who is wearing glasses.
  • Underground Monkey: The Type 59 is little more than a Chinese Makarov clone with minor cosmetic differences.

  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: She is extremely proud of her status as the choice handgun of the U.S. Navy Seals, and openly flaunts herself as a prestigious, self-acclaimed "Elite"
  • The Rival: In a similar vein to M9's rivalry to M1911, P226 is the self-proclaimed rival to the former. Like with M9, this may allude to the real-life replacement of the M1911 with the M9; the P226 was the other finalist in that competition, but the M9 won by the skin of its teeth.note

  • Armor-Piercing Attack: She is, post-Digimind upgrade, one of only four non-RF or MG T-dolls who can use armor-piercing ammo, the others being 6P62 (AR), C-MS (SMG) and Contender (HG). However, she doesn't use the standard armor-piercing rounds that RF, MG, and those 3 listed T-Dolls use. Her exclusive equipment upon hitting Mod 3 is the Russian 7N31 over-pressure variant of the ubiquitous 9x19mm, designed to defeat soft body armor that would otherwise stop standard 9x19 rounds.
  • Combat Medic: She dresses up as one with her "Walking Operating Table" costume, complete with medkit. This is purely cosmetic, however, as it doesn't actually let her heal anyone.
    • Her MOD 2 skill plays this straighter. It allows her a chance to grant allies standing on her tiles a stacking 1 HP shield with every attack, the chance being equal to her critical hit rate. While it doesn't directly restore missing health, the shield does act as a temporary HP. The passive also increases her critical hit damage by a percentage.
  • Critical Hit Class: Chain Assault makes all of her attacks hit twice and have 100% critical chance for its duration. In addition, her MOD 2 skill encourages stacking crit chance so she can trigger it more often while her main skill is on cooldown.
  • Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Can be difficult to spot due to the small size of her sprite relative to the screen, but GSh-18's eyes go dim near the end of her "death" animation.
  • Joshikousei: She both looks and dresses up as a Japanese Schoolgirl, complete with Sailor Fuku.
  • Guns Akimbo: She starts out with just one gun, but when her skill is active, she pulls out a second pistol and shoots with both guns. Unlike other guns that use two guns all the time, this has an actual effect, as she's hitting twice each time she shoots while the skill is active.
  • Reckless Gun Usage: Several T-Dolls show zero concerns about gun safety by twirling their weapons during their victory animation. GSh-18 not only twirls, she juggles with her pistol.
  • Secret Character: Secret is kind of a stretch, as she has her own entry in the Index with unlocking requirements, but GSh-18 is so far the only T-Doll to be unlocked exclusively via achievements. To recruit her, the player must purchase 5 volumes of the official comic from the Comic Stand in the Cafe, at a total cost of 3,000 batteries. Unlike other T-Dolls awarded from achievements, GSh-18 simply cannot be crafted later nor does she drop from events.
    • Her costume requires the purchase of 10 comic volumes.

    • This may allude to the real-life replacement of the M1911 with the Beretta M9 as the standard-issue sidearm of the US Armed Forces in order to meet NATO requirements.

  • Afraid of Blood: To the point that she gets incredibly nervous around humans.
    TEC-9: Whenever I think of humans and their bodies, with all those internal organs and blood in there... Good heavens, it's crazy if you think about it!
  • Early-Bird Cameo: For the EN version. She makes an appearance in NTW-20's Digimind story before she was added to the roster.
  • Hitman with a Heart: She used to work as an assassin for a certain "Organization", but later escaped because she can't bear to turn her knife on human beings. Ironic, considering her gun is a long-time favorite of Gangbangers and mass-shooters (Dylan Klebold, in particular).
  • Underground Monkey: In a sense. The TEC-9 was heavily derived from the Interdynamic MP-9, a Swedish SMG that failed to drum up any interest among governments and was believed that less than 50 were produced, with likely half of which being a select-fire variant that had a collapsible stock.

  • Artistic License – Military: The Kampfpistole Z is not a conventional "Handgun" per se, its various models were designed to either shoot flares, smoke rounds for marking targets, or low-velocity explosive grenades, which is what the in-game weapon ended up firing. Therefore, it qualifies as a compact Grenade Launcher than anything.

  • Artistic License – Military: The real QSB-91 is designed primarily for use as a knife, with the gun serving as an emergency weapon for enemies not quite close enough for a knife. The T-Doll QSB-91 uses her namesake weapon in exactly the opposite manner.
  • Artistic License – Physics: In real life, the QSB-91's specified maximum range is around 10 meters. This isn't reflected in-game, given that QSB-91 still manages to have average accuracy for a handgun T-Doll.
  • Mix-and-Match Weapon: The real QSB-91 is a knife that has a revolver chamber and trigger assembly in its handle, allowing it to fire off four rounds in a pinch.
  • Stance System: QSB-91's passive has her swiping at enemies directly in front of her with the knife for 100% of her weapon damage. As an added bonus, all of her knife attacks are always accurate.

  • Dub Name Change: Inverted for the English release. She's still identified as a "Colt Revolver" in the original version, but the English release outright calls her SAA.
  • Eyepatch of Power: Her digi-mind upgrade gives her one over her right eye, with her damaged artwork in this state revealing the eye underneath is now white.
  • Misidentified Weapons: The revolver that the T-Doll is seen with in her artwork is not an SAA, but is instead a Ruger Blackhawk, which is very similar to the SAA but not quite.
  • Older Than They Look: One of her lines as secretary ("You want to know about my age? ...Let's not talk about my age.") implies this. It's likely a reference to the age of her namesake firearm - first designed in 1873, it's probably the oldest firearm present in the game, at just shy of a hundred and ninety years old by the game's 2060 setting.
  • Sniper Pistol: Her digi-mind upgrade grants her an exclusive Long Barrel attachment, with her artwork also giving her revolver a significantly longer barrel.
  • Trademark Favorite Drink: Cola drinks. She hardly has a line not talking about it. Her animations after her digi-mind upgrade particularly pronounce this: in battle, she pulls out her whip and grabs a bottle from off-screen with it as her victory animation, and in the dorms she always has a bottle in hand.
  • Weapon Specialization: Befitting her Cowgirl imagery, she gets a whip with her digi-mind upgrade.
  • You Have Researched Breathing: In the same manner as several other T-dolls with exclusive equipment. Upgrading her digi-mind modifies her revolver with a longer barrel, but she doesn't get any inherent bonuses from that until you actually give her the Long Barrel attachment.

  • Blown Across the Room: She is blown out of her tile and tumbles away in her death animation. Supposedly she is only third in distance behind Murata Himeko and Colt SAA.
  • Fortune Teller: Her character profile states that she enjoys predicting the outcomes of events, and that fortune telling is one of her favorite hobbies. Supposedly, other T-Dolls say that her predictions are rather accurate. In her lines, she is often telling the Commander various forecasts and predictions.
  • Leotard of Power: Her classic outfit appears to be a mix between a leotard and a babydoll.
  • Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Her skill "Museum of War Philosophy" provides class specific buffs, as opposed to other HG skills that typically provide universal buffs. HG/SMG T-dolls receive an evasion buff, AR/RF T-dolls receive a bonus damage buff, and SG/MG T-dolls receive an accuracy bonus.
  • Screw Destiny: The focus of her Neural Upgrade story. When she and one of the victims of a terrorist attack are trapped underneath a fallen building, she makes a tarot reading and pulls an undesirable result. She refuses to sit on that result, and nearly tears herself apart opening a path back to the surface.
  • Tranquil Fury: Her profile states that she is actually quite hot-headed and impatient beneath her normally calm and cool exterior.

  • Idiot Hair: Somehow sporting a lightning bolt-shaped one jutting out from the side of her bangs. Her MOD 3 reveals that not only it can move on its own, it's also a functional piece of equipment, granting her extra evasion and critical hit rate.
  • Money Fetish: If her quotes are any indication, Stechkin has a very pronounced love of money and other material objects. She even pesters the Commander for New Year money as part of her seasonal adjutant lines.
  • Not Drawn to Scale: The Stechkin APS is quite huge in reality owing to the complex fire control systems in its receiver. However, it is drawn as a very small sidearm in the hands of the APS T-Doll, who is very diminutive even by HG standards.
  • More Dakka: Stechkin's kit revolves around making her allies put out more lead downrange. She also has one of the highest fire rate in the HG class.
  • You Have Researched Breathing: Despite her weapon being depicted with its detachable butt-stock, a player needs to actually obtain the equipment itself from Chapter 9's night-ops in order for it to have an effect. The same goes to her Idiot Hair, which requires getting her to MOD 3 before it's available to equip.

  • Clingy Jealous Girl: She believes that there's a special place in the Commander's heart just for her, and gets suspicious when other handgun dolls approach them.
  • Cat Girl: Although the "ears", at least, are just bows that she slips her hair through. As to whether the tail is real, however, is unknown.
  • Dub Name Change: As with most of the other Heckler & Koch weapons in the game, the English version appends "Gr" ahead of her name.
  • Eagle Land: Owing to the real Mark 23 being designed specifically as a US Special Forces sidearm, her clothes in general evoke the imagery of the American flag.
  • Idol Singer: Her mannerisms somewhat resemble this, particularly her victory pose.
  • Not Drawn to Scale: In a similar vein to her fellow 4-star Stechkin APS. Her MK23 is strangely proportioned like a pocket pistol in her (already small) hands, while the actual piece is infamous for being massively bulky and heavy, its profile being about on par with the Desert Eagle in terms of ergonomics, or lack thereof.

  • The Prankster: Has a habit of making pranks and will also tease the player as well.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Plays the role of one of these in the Freaky Pandemic event. Specifically, she happens to be pulling a prank involving Kalina's oddly-colored makeup at around the same time MDR is trolling the local network's forums about a disease that can jump from humans to T-Dolls that manifests as oddly colored splotches on the skin. The subsequent panic causes the whole base to lower their guard against an otherwise easily-thwarted Sangvis Ferri attack.

  • Artistic License – Physics: Her pistol being able to hit and kill anything at all above water is this. The SPP-1 has four smoothbore barrels that fire hydrodynamic projectiles designed for underwater combat. As a result, they have pathetic accuracy and stopping power on land, with an effective range of 20 meters and change. And considering the fact that even the lowliest of Sangvis Ferri troops have light armor, and that Girls Frontline has no underwater tiles (yet), her viability is a bit improbable to say the least.

  • Idol Singer: Very subtly implied, but according to Word of God the strange-looking device on her waist is supposed to be a personal speaker that amplifies her singing.
  • No Social Skills: Her profile states that she is relatively poor at recognizing and adjusting to the social atmosphere around her due to her self-driven personality, making her awkward to approach.
  • Pimped-Out Dress: A sleeveless, frilly one.
  • Shout-Out: Her alternate costume is a composite of both Alice and the Mad Hatter, possibly with the ear bits of the March Hare thrown in as well.
  • Steampunk: Top hat? Check. Black leather boots and accessories? Check. An excessive amount of belts on everything? Check.
  • Tranquil Fury: At the conclusion of the "Freaky Pandemic" event, she was just a little upset when P7 and P90 break the news that the "epidemic" at the base was a prank involving makeup and misinformation. Much so that she discharged her gun into the floor twice.
  • Underground Monkey: The JSL Spitfire is literally just an English-made CZ75.

  • A Day in the Limelight: The DJMAX crossover event serves as this for her and M950A.
  • Animal Motifs: Swans.
  • Character Tics: Rather than expressing emotions with gestures or facial cues, Thunder pulls out her gun and shoots it. She claims this is because gunshots are far more accurate than expressions. It becomes rather problematic when she does this in, say, a crowded banquet. Ironically, she was built to be more expressive than the average A-Doll.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: In addition to her gloomy attitude and Scars Are Forever above, she has seen "the dark side of the world", implied by her artist to be the victim of physical abuse.
  • Death Seeker: She used to be this, but the events of the DJMAX event and her newfound friendship with M950A (and to a lesser extent, TMP, K2 and AEK-999) forced her to rethink her perspective on life.
  • Forgot About Her Powers: Despite being chambered in .50 BMG, Thunder cannot use AP Rounds like fellow HG Contender, and is only compatible with the stock standard HP ammo.
  • Hand Cannon: A breech-loading monstrosity that shoots .50 BMG. No, not .50 AE. BMG, the same round used by heavy machine guns and anti-materiel rifles. Taken to a ridiculous level if you're using her Renoir's Crow skin, where it's about as long as her torso!
  • Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Rather than buffing her teammates with an aura, or tossing some manner of grenade, Thunder is one of a small handful of "HG Bamboos", with an active skill that lets her fire up to two shots dealing up to 1200% of her attack power on impact.
  • Morality Pet: M950A is this to her in the DJMAX event. She's the only one she knows who doesn't immediately give up on her despite her stoicism, Character Tics and inferiority, and that's enough for her to not give up on life. She returns the favor in the latter half of the event when El Fail stuffs the both of them in a Lotus-Eater Machine; 950 confesses her Chronic Hero Syndrome is a front to hide her own insecurities and thinks she's in the wrong fighting for that reason. As 950 forces Thunder out of their shared delusion, Thunder shouts that she isn't a mistake.
  • Only Friend: Of M950A, even though their personalities are nothing alike.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The calm and quiet Blue to M950A's Hot-Blooded Red.
  • Rei Ayanami Expy: White-bluish hair, almost devoid of facial emotion, is artificial, and has an unclear background. Thunder ticks almost all of the common characteristics.
  • Sniper Pistol: Tied with Contender for the highest base damage out of all HGs, though she fires slower than her. Her Critical Point Shot skill mirrors the Interdiction Shot skill that several RFs posses.
  • Scars Are Forever: Has one around her neck, implying that she was abused in the past. Her Renoir's Crow skin shows that she has even more scars all over her arms and legs.

  • Cane Fu: Her victory animation has her swing around her crutch as if it were a side-handle baton. That said, any proficiency she may actually have with it as a melee weapon isn't represented in gameplay.
  • Coat Cape: She wears her Badass Longcoat over her shoulders.
  • Finally Found the Body: This is the main goal of Negev in the Chapter 7 Night Stages: retrieving the previous body of Jericho to recover its neural cloud and the memories Jericho lost after her last backup.
  • Gameplay and Story Segregation: The playable Jericho is (allegedly) different from the one in the Chapter 7 Night Stages, in which she was said to be killed prior to the events of the game. From further analysis of Chapter 7N, this is slightly subverted, when it is later revealed that Jericho had been revived in a new body backup, but has suffered Death Amnesia as a result, resulting in her leaving Negev with the task of retrieving her dead body she previously had.
  • Handicapped Badass: Zig-zagged. While her character art clearly shows her walking using a crutch, it apparently is just for show, as she still runs normally during combat and it is completely absent in her damaged CG, where she would logically need it the most.
  • Sergeant Rock: Chapter 7N shows that Jericho had a tough and strict style of commanding. Despite that, she did care for her subordinates, and personally helped Negev to overcome her own insecurities.
    • This is reflected in her Secretary interactions with the Commander, who she views as lax and undisciplined.
  • Sigil Spam: Not as bad as Negev, but she has several Stars of David strewn all around her costume.
  • The Paragon: What she strives to be.
    Negev: Under your leadership, any doll could become elite.
  • Volcanic Veins: A subtle one, but you can see thin blue lines running through her left calf. Her damaged artwork shows that they go all the way to her thigh.

  • An Arm and a Leg: She loses both of her legs from the knee down during Polarized Light.
  • Artistic License – Military: Well, not strictly military, considering how the Calico is mostly aimed towards the civilian and law enforcement markets. The M950A is a straight-up submachine gun in reality that's capable of selective-fire, hence the foregrip to control the muzzle climb. A more appropriate choice would be the semi-automatic-exclusive M950 version.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: Has it bad in the DJMAX event, putting her at odds with AEK-999 who prefers not to get into needless conflict. She confesses to Thunder in the latter half of the event that it's really just a front to hide her own insecurities as a T-Doll.
  • A Day in the Limelight: One of the two focus characters in the DJMAX event alongside Thunder.
  • Difficult, but Awesome: M950A provides some of the best fire rate buffs in the entire game, at the cost of weird tile placement that practically forces her to be at the frontline to be effective. This being a rather fragile and slow HG that fares very poorly at dodging, players will find themselves having to manually reshuffle the echelon as soon as fighting starts or else risk losing her to enemy fire. Her Neural Upgrade alleviates this somewhat by giving her full coverage of back rows, more base health and evasion, as well as an exclusive equipment that provides double the evasion of 5-star suppressors.
  • Emergency Transformation: With Thunder and M950A seconds away from being killed by KCCO forces, the Origin Fairy repairs and even upgrades her into MOD 3, at the cost of using itself as repair material.
  • Geo Effects: M950A's MOD 2 skill, Soul LIVE!, has different effects depending on where her echelon is fighting. If she's on a friendly node, it creates a deceleration zone that reduces enemy movement speed and evasion in its radius. If she's on a hostile/non-occupied node, it grants a small fire rate buff and sets all of her allies' movement speed into 15 (the same as a handgun).
  • Gotta Catch Them All: She's a part of the unofficial "Kiritsugu Challenge", a collection of Emiya Kiritsugu's favorite weapons in Fate/Zero, due to him (and Maiya Hisau) using the similar M950 in the anime. This achievement is completed through collecting her, Contender, WA2000, and AUG.
  • Hates Small Talk: Refers to small talk as "meaningless chitchat" in one of her Secretary lines. This is averted with one her MOD 3 lines and is now willing to hold a conversation with the Commander.
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: The DJMAX reveals she has this, and it runs deep enough for her to fall prey to El Fail’s Lotus-Eater Machine. She soon grows out of this during her MOD 3 story, having learned to love herself.
  • Meido: Her "Housework Training" outfit turns her into this.
  • More Dakka: Being an automatic firearm in reality, M950A boasts the highest fire rate out of any HG in the game, and her tile and skill buffs apply this effect to her teammates.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Thunder's Blue.
  • Super-Speed: Not M950A herself, but thanks to one of the effect of her MOD 2 skill (detailed above) being multiplicative with other movement-increasing skills, she has the potential to grant this to other T-Dolls. RPK-16 with M950A's buff and AR mode can achieve 38 movement speed, more than twice of a handgun, while Hanyang MOD 3 with her 500% movement speed multiplier can go up to 90.
  • Tsundere: While she may be aloof and distant, her lines seem to imply that she's rather happy to be around the Commander. Lampshaded by Thunder.
    Thunder: Everyone says you’re not honest with the Commander.

  • Coat Cape: She places her coat on her back without wearing the sleeves. According to the artist, the coat is based on the British army colonel uniform.
  • Dirty Business: Talks about how she will assassinate her targets for the greater good since her gun was used as a silent assassination weapon during World War II.
  • Guns Akimbo: She wields a pair of pistols tonfa-style in her character CG, although her combat sprite only uses one.
  • Take Cover!: Welrod's MOD 2 skill behaves similarly as Agent Vector's, placing a temporary Blast Shield in front of herself that renders any unit behind it invulnerable for the duration.

  • Coat Cape: Her "ThanX! & Go2Hell!" outfit gives her two coats, the first worn normally and the second worn in this manner over it.
  • Creator Provincialism: At least enough so that this gun, the Chinese clone of the CZ75, made it into the Chinese version of the game more than a year before the actual CZ75 did. Interestingly, however, she actually deals a little less damage than CZ75.
  • Guns Akimbo: Notable in that unlike most other dual-wielding T-Dolls, her namesake weapons are sporting different finishes (one gold, one black).
  • The Rival: While there is no dialogue or interaction indicating this, official artwork made by infukun seem to portray her and CZ75 as being rivals of sorts.
  • Serious Business: Combat and fighting is very serious business to her, and she will not tolerate slacking off on her watch.
  • Underground Monkey: The NZ75 is literally just a Chinese-made CZ75.

    • Her victory animation also has her holding a large fish, which is in reference to the Chinese internet joke "摸鱼", meaning "Catching/stroking a fish", a metaphor for being distracted from work.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Despite genuinely being a friendly and outgoing personality, she can be outright vicious towards others when she needs to be.
  • Genki Girl: Her positive and outgoing personality makes her a popular T-Doll at G&K.
  • Gratuitous French: As seen with her interactions with her team, as well as Noel during "Operation: Rabbit Hunt".
  • In-Joke: The "Hoxy" meme, which is a Memetic Mutation of the Korean word meaning "perhaps", is often attributed to Five-seveN and is used to mock players who could not acquire her, since she's both powerful and hard to acquire, only being intermittently available through event drops.
  • The Lancer: Despite claiming that they can't get along, Five-seveN is considered one of the only individuals who truly understands the thoughts and actions of FAL, and will support her as a Vice-Captain regardless.
  • No Hero to His Valet: As fellow senior members of Team FN, she and Ballista are not shy about calling out FAL on her faults.
  • Number Two: Well, technically Number Three behind Kalina, but Five-seveN is the one T-Doll everybody that isn't the AR Team reports to during events. Oddly enough, according to the Base View, she isn't the leader of the Frontline Combat Team (it's Thompson).
  • The Rival: To FAL, who she vows to succeed as captain of Team FN.

    • Even as a Bamboo, her skill is different from her RF counterparts in that every Dummy will contribute to its damage instead of only the primary unit, meaning that although its starting power is low, at five Dummies it can be a force to reckon with.
  • Sword and Gun: Wields a tomahawk in one hand and her pistol in another.

  • Armor-Piercing Attack She is one of only four non-RF or MG T-dolls who can use armor-piercing ammo, the others being 6P62 (AR), C-MS (SMG) and post-Digimind upgrade GSh-18 (HG).
  • Bottomless Magazines: Zig-zagged. While she still has unlimited ammunition and fires at breakneck pace like other HGs, she still reloads in between shots due to the nature of her handgun, just very quickly.
  • Gotta Catch Them All: The optional kind. As one of several weapons made popular from their use in Fate/Zero by Emiya Kiritsugu, there is an unofficial achievement issued by the fandom called the "Kiritsugu Challenge" in which players would need to collect M950A, AUG, WA2000, and Contender herself to complete his arsenal.
  • Gun Twirling: Her sprite's combat animation shows her twirling her weapon after reloading and at the end of combat.
  • Hand Cannon: While the Contender is known for its chambering of large rifle rounds, the bullet she holds in her hand is in all likelihood a .45-70, the largest type of ammunition available to the pistol. Its chief uses in reality are for target shooting and big game hunting, and is actually bigger and more powerful than rounds fired by some of the RFs in the game.
  • Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: Her outfit is considered to be lavish and fancy several magnitudes above those of other T-Dolls, and her "Phantom of the Opera" skin takes this to new heights. Despite their prevalent use of tights, they don't seem to inconvenience her one bit.
  • Lady Looks Like a Dude: Demonstrated by her "Phantom of the Opera" costume, which is a sharp, military uniform-like outfit.
  • Meido: Her "Floral Servitude" turns her into this.
  • Sniper Pistol: She's more of a pseudo-RF than your typical HG. She has very high base damage and low fire rate, her skill does massive damage to a single target, and she can even equip AP rounds to boot.
  • Statuesque Stunner: Contender is a wildcard among HGs due to her greater height. Official designer's notes give her a height of 155cm, and she stands half a head taller than G36 in one of the login splash screens.
  • Sweet Tooth: She has a preference for ice cream and would frequently invite the Commander to have some with her during the downtime between missions.
  • Tomboy: She looks much more comfortable in her prince getup than her maid uniform.

  • Status Buff: Other than the usual handgun buff tiles, she also has a unique passive that procs when she receives a buff from one of her allies, increasing the same stat for the buffing T-Doll by a fixed percentage (e.g. if an ally buffs her damage, said ally gets an extra 6% damage in return). This basically amplifies any buffs her echelon uses, as long as they're standing on her buff tiles.

  • Money Fetish: Views her work at Griffon through the eyes of a businessperson. Her love of profit and good business savvy is enough to rival that of Kalina's.

  • Deflector Shield: Her skill, Revenger's Fortress, manifests a shield over all of her allies. If the shield isn't broken after 3 seconds has passed, it also grants bonus damage and accuracy to the affected units. Notably, it covers all team members regardless of their class, whereas her most direct counterpart, Sei, only protects HGs, SMGs, and SGs, and uses a HP calculation to determine the shield's strength, while HS2000 provides everyone with the same level of protection that is significantly higher to boot. Used correctly, her skill can completely No-Sell stronger AoE attacks of powerful enemies, such as Doppelsoldners or Minotaurs, or at the very least negate much of their damage.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Makes an appearance in one of manga anthology chapters helping evacuate an injured human, several months before her offiical appearance in the Japanese and English servers.
  • Lazy Bum: Her Establishing Character Moment in the Isomer event has her complaining to her squadmate KSVK about the mission the Commander assigned her. She'd rather stay at their safe house and watch TV all day. When she finds out that all of Belgrade's TV stations are running news stories about the imminent peace summit the Commander was contracted to guard, she declares that she'd rather sleep.
  • The Medic: It's not really reflected in gameplay, but her character profile mentions that she used to work at a medical institution.
  • Temporary Online Content: She is only available through opening crates during the Isomer event, either randomly or guaranteed upon the 777th packet, with occasional events afterwards allowing her to drop from certain maps.

  • Performer Guise: She was previously a performer and/or an actress before becoming a T-Doll.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Despite her small stature, she is noted for having disproportionate physical strength. One of her secretary lines has her betting she can lift a chair while the Commander is sitting on it.
  • Small Girl, Big Gun: Not to the same extent as M99, but she's rather tiny for someone whose namesake is notorious for, among other things, being heavy and bulky.
  • Temporary Online Content: She was initially only available by clearing E5-6 of Shattered Connexion, though events afterwards have had her as a possible drop on some maps.

  • Animal Motifs: Hummingbirds, as per her namesake.
  • Artistic License – Military: The real Kolibri pistol is a hilariously-tiny handgun chambered in the equally miniscule 2.7x9mm caliber, which makes sense since it was designed by a watchmaker. It was designed to be a pocket pistol for personal defense, but its anemic power proved to be more of a novelty than anything else, thus that the T-Doll being able to deal meaningful amounts of damage per shot at all would be a massive stretch, regardless of whether the enemy is armored or not.
  • Gathering Steam: Kolibri's skill revolves around the management of "Hummingbird" stacks. She gains one Hummingbird every two seconds up to a maximum of nine. Activating the skill consumes all Hummingbirds and confers additional effects for every three stacks (damage buff at 1-3, RoF buff at 4-6, and critical hit buff at 7-9). Each Hummingbird also increases her damage per shot by a 1x multiplier, meaning she can do up to ten times as much damage at maximum stacks.
  • Little Useless Gun: True to the gun's extremely small caliber, Kolibri beats PSM and USP Compact as the lowest-damaging handgun in the game by seven points, at 15 Firepower. Subverted as she is still a Handgun and therefore more valued for her support capabilities over raw damage, and also by the mechanics of her skill as detailed above.

  • Ability Required to Proceed: In order to fully complete all event maps, the player must have Clear in one of their echelons in order to disable Fail's Deflector Shield and initiate a hidden minigame, otherwise she (Fail) will be invulnerable and the nodes she sits on cannot be explored.
  • Adaptation Expansion: Both Clear and Fail were simply Mascots for DJMAX Respect. The closest either of them get to having a backstory at all is in their original music video, where they're both a resurrected version of El from DJMAX Portable 1, that particular game's cover girl, as symbolism for the franchise's resurrection. In that regard, their event story in the Glory Day event is essentially fabricated from whole cloth. Ironically, the original El isn't referenced in any capacity in the story nor in their limited time costumes.
  • Guest Fighter: From DJMAX.
  • Guide Dang It!: Her skill's description claims it "randomly" buffs teammates, but it's actually fairly predictable - it buffs T-Dolls in order of the current battle's DPS chart from top to bottom. The skill also only prevents her from attacking to do her buffs - any other action is fair game. None of this is mentioned in-game, so newer players might never notice these quirks or some of its gameplay implications.e.g.
  • Literal Split Personality: Unsurprisingly, for a game revolving around androids, this is how her event's plot resolves players being able to obtain both versions of El; they inhabit their own T-Dolls in the real world in the epilogue.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • Her alternate costume is the outfit of DJMAX Portable 2 Mascot Elle, albeit with El's Girlish Pigtails instead of wearing her hair loose.
    • The event she is obtainable from, "Glory Day", is named after DJMAX Respect's opening song, and the name of her unique equipment, "Glory Light", is part of the song's chorus.
  • The Power of Rock: Her "weapon" is a cross-shaped light beam that she strums like a guitar.
  • Utility Party Member: Moreso than other HGs. Like Fail, Clear's role in an echelon is to provide buffs and night vision. To this end, she has only mediocre stats and will stop attacking when her skill is activated. Relying on her to do damage is very unwise.

In that regard, their event story in the Glory Day event is essentially fabricated from whole cloth. Ironically, the original El isn't referenced in any capacity in the story nor in their limited time costumes.
  • Cutting the Knot: She can be subject to this via a One-Hit Kill without the use of El Clear. All the references of Clear being required in certain fights against Fail are only valid for the Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean servers' runs for this event in April 2018, because the English and Japanese servers' runs in April 2020 have something that the former servers didn't have at the time: NTW-20 Mod 3. An echelon built around giving her the most amount of firepower buffs possible can grant her damage output needed to effectively ignore Fail's "indestructible" shield and eliminate her in a single shot.
  • Flunky Boss: Her boss form is actually very weak and easy to beat. The real challenges are her indestructible Deflector Shield, the debuffs she cast on your echelon, and the waves of Strikers that she will constantly spawn in. While the first can be eliminated simply by having Clear in your lineup, the latter two can be annoying to work around when fighting her on EX maps.
  • Guest Fighter: From DJMAX.
  • Literal Split Personality: Unsurprisingly, for a game revolving around androids, this is how her event's plot resolves players being able to obtain both versions of El; they inhabit their own T-Dolls in the real world in the epilogue.
  • Mirror Match: If you have Fail, you can bring her to fight her own boss form on specific maps. Whether or not it's actually advisable is left entirely up to your team arrangement.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • Her alternate costume is the same school uniform worn by the unnamed girls on DJMAX Portable 3's box art.
    • The event she is obtainable from, "Glory Day", is named after DJMAX Respect's opening song, and the name of her unique equipment, "Black Cat", is the name of the song where Fail appears in the music video. Additionally, the song that causes her to Heel–Face Turn into El Clear is the acoustic version of "glory day".
  • The Power of Rock: Her "weapon" is a cross-shaped black "light" beam that she strums like a guitar.
  • Puzzle Boss: Her boss forms that occupy certain nodes on event maps have indestructible Deflector Shields and deal ridiculous amounts of damage per attack. In order to fight her, one must have Clear in their echelon, who will modify the battle conditions and allow the player's echelon to damage Fail, and then initiate a hidden rhythm minigame after she's defeated.
  • Shadow Archetype: To Clear.
  • Utility Party Member: Like Clear, Fail has her place in echelons due to the utility she offers. Hers is the opposite of Clear's, applying debuffs to the enemy side instead of buffing her own, and Fail will also stop attacking when her ability is active.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Her sole desire as Pocket City's "queen" is to keep its denizens happy. She does this by kidnapping any Fairies that remember their name and/or song using fabrications of Sangvis Ferri soldiers and subjecting them to something akin to a Lotus-Eater Machine, genuinely believing that stripping away all of their life's problems is the key to true happiness. However, she calls the process "re-educating", so it's more likely that she's just simply a Control Freak rather than misguided altruism. The ending of the event reveals that her Freudian Excuse was that she wanted to erase the pain of being forgotten 60+ years after she was created.

  • A-Cup Angst: Implied. After Architect leaves the bar in Chapter 7, Jill expresses her frustration at Springfield, who's bartending in her place. When Springfield denies ever taunting Jill, the latter points to her chest instead.
    Springfield: But I'm not taunting you.
    Jill: Then your chest is taunting me...
  • Adaptation Distillation: While Jill is also a bartender in this game and can mix certain VA-11 HALL-A drinks for her allies, her in-battle recipes have been substantially dumbed down and simplified compared to the source material. Certain recipes have had entire components removed or changed due to Jill's 3 equipment limit, and each of them produces only one drink, instead of many different ones depending on the ratio of ingredients added (e.g. Sparkle Star and Sugar Rush both consisting of 2 parts Adelhyde and 1 Powdered Delta, Kamotrine not withstanding), the drink being iced or aged, and mixed or blended.
  • Adaptation Deviation: Due to Sugar Rush's status as Jill's generic mix, any combination of ingredients that doesn't correspond to a known recipe will produce it, instead of specifically requiring Adelhyde + Powdered Delta (or getting an undrinkable mess from throwing random things together). Additionally, due to her skill's 3-second mixing time, Jill effectively blends every drink she makes, even though that would count as a failure for all of them bar Fringe Weaver and Bleeding Jane.
  • Adaptational Personality Change: She's a far nicer person than she was in her original game. That's because she's a simulated version of Jill residing in the neural cloud of a now-passed out HK416, but without her negative emotions (which, coincidentally, is what's driving the Earth Computer in its quest to destroy the world). The Dream Land version of Anna even says she likes "Julianne" more than she does Jill.
  • Adaptational Wimp: While Jill is not a combatant even in her home game, she is still a very sharp, witty, and calm person (albeit sexually frustrated). When made into a T-Doll, she seemingly loses this cool front and cowers helplessly while moving about the battlefield. Her chibi sprites also seem visibly afraid, or at the very least concerned, about the fighting going on around her.
  • Alpha Strike: Her Fringe Weaver mix is this. It provides a very hefty 35% boost to the echelon's DMG for 5 seconds, after which it leaves a -15% penalty to both DMG and ACC for 8 seconds, which is incredibly good if the team is powerful enough to wipe out the opposition within the buff period, and incredibly bad if they aren't.
  • The Bartender: Natch. Her entire kit revolves around her mixing up drinks to buff her allies while she's on the field.
  • Booze-Based Buff: Comes with the territory. Jill is capable of mixing up seven types of drinks with their own buffs depending on which ingredients she's provided with, or lack thereof, though whether or not a drink is alcoholic depends on if Kamotrine is part of its mixture.
  • Crippling Overspecialization: Jill is a superb team buffer, with Contender-level buff tiles boasting stat bonuses that make Grizzly and K5 leery with envy, and a highly versatile and customizable skill that lets her fit into nearly all kinds of echelon setups. She buffs her allies so hard, it veers her squarely into Support Party Member territory since she cannot attack, and aside from her respectable EVA, every other stat of hers is average.
  • Early Game Hell: Not so much early game as 80% of her leveling progression. In order to even equip one of her ingredients, Jill has to be at least level 60, and all three slots won't be open until at least 80, so she'll be stuck with mixing Sugar Rush for the entire time. And considering that Jill cannot attack, she effectively will never be MVP, so experience gain will be very minimal even if she's positioned as the echelon's leader. As such, she is indisputably the prime candidate for XP fodders like Combat Reports and the VA-11 HALL-A-exclusive Beer on Discount.
  • Emergency Transformation: At the end of the VA-11 HALL-A event, the real-world G&K manage to save the VA-11 HALL-A cast from their world's imminent destruction by extracting their data from 416's neural cloud before she woke up from her alchol-induced stupor. All of them got put into specially-manufactured T-Dolls resembling their former selves (aside from Anna, who got turned into a Fairy instead).
  • Fragile Speedster: While her max speed prior to equipment buffs is nothing to write home about, each of her "ingredients" additionally give her 15 more EVA to run with. With all 3 slots filled, Jill can obtain a staggering 141 EVA, enough to leave the next most evasive HG (PSM) in the dust.
  • Gargle Blaster: Mixing all 3 parts of Kamotrine together creates Fringe Weaver, which could only be really described as absolutely this in-universe, with some comparing it to "drinking ethylic alcohol with a spoonful of sugar". It is notably tremendously less alcoholic compared to the real deal, as Fringe Weaver consists of 9 whopping parts Kamotrine to 1 Adelhyde in its home game. Indeed, Fringe Weaver is the only drink to leave a debuff after the initial effects wear off.
  • Guest Fighter: From VA-11 HALL-A.
  • Heroic BSoD: Goes through one when Anna reveals she's not the real Jill Stingray but a virtual copy of her from Anna's memories. Jill at first protests but realizes the truth when she doesn't know who Gabby is, her ex-girlfriend's little sister who the real Jill should know.
  • Ineffectual Loner: As if this hasn't been stretched enough, Jill cannot attack. If she's the only T-Doll left in the echelon, that team is pretty much done for and should be retreated immediately.
  • Mechanically Unusual Fighter: "Fighter" is a really long stretch in her case. As of current, Jill is unique for being completely incapable of combat, and doesn't even wield a gun of any kind. Her damage attribute, instead, reduces her skill cooldown. Even her status as a HG is extremely debatable, due to the reasons above, and the only possible excuse behind her classification is because of her role as a team buff provider.
    • Additionally, she has a whopping 8 special equipments, with different combinations changing how her skill works.
  • Mythology Gag: Her "Model Warrior" outfit is based on Model Warrior Julianne, a magical girl Show Within a Show Jill used to be a fan of, and the reason why she detests her real name so much these days.
  • Non-Action Guy: Err, gal. As a T-Doll, Jill possesses no attacking animations, and as such cannot engage in direct combat. Or rather, the animation rigs normally used for attacks are replaced with her shaking her cocktail shaker. This can be observed when training her skill, where she will cocktail-shake the training dummy to death. What's baffling about her non-action nature is the fact that Jill still consumes ammo normally, despite her not even having a gun.
  • Obvious Rule Patch: She was the sole T-Doll that was outright banned from a boss speedrunning contest during the Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino event due to the sheer versatility and strength of her buffs.
  • Official Couple: With Dana as of the end of VA-11 HALL-A, though this isn't touched upon during the crossover event and the Commander can form an Oath with either of them.
  • Older Than She Looks: Not that you could tell with her home game's retro graphics, but Girls Frontline seems to have given Jill an Age Lift. Really, she does not look like a 27-year-old at all. Gets lampshaded by her interim T-Doll bartender at one point in the event's story.
    Stella: The boss... you mean that human girl called Jill?
    Gr G28: "Jill"? Yes. But "girl"? She's 27, you know.
  • Set Bonus: The three drink ingredients Jill brings with her into battle dictates what kind of buffs she will be giving out, and primarily to whom. Jill can mix up to six specific types of drinks in her minibar, each with its own special effect and target allied class, in addition to Sugar Rush, which is the default "recipe".
    • Sugar Rush: (default) 18% Damage boost. Affects all types.
    • Big Beer: 20% Armor, 30% Damage, and 30% Accuracy boost. Affects SGs.
      • Additionally buffs Dana by 1.5x of her Armor value.
    • Brandtini: 25% Damage and 25% Accuracy boost. Affects MGs.
      • Additionally extends Alma's drone timer by 1s.
    • Piano Woman: 60% Evasion boost for front row, 20% Damage boost for others. Affects all types.
      • Additionally halves the negative effects of Dorothy's skill.
    • Moonblast: 22% Rate-of-Fire boost. Affects all types.
      • Additionally doubles the HP scaling of Sei's shield.
    • Bleeding Jane: 25% Crit chance boost, with excess crit % being converted into Crit Damage. Affects ARs and RFs.
      • Additionally reduces the required hit count to trigger Stella's damage boost (down to 10).
    • Fringe Weaver: 35% Damage boost. Causes "Drunk" status after 5s, which -15% Damage and -15% Accuracy. Affects all types.
  • Sitting Duck: Jill cannot move while mixing drinks. So if a boss enemy happens to target her with a high-damage or AoE attack while she's at it, you might as well retreat her.
  • Squishy Wizard: Being a HG, Jill isn't terribly sturdy herself, boasting only slightly above-par HP (400 per link) at max value. This makes her especially vulnerable to attacks while in the middle of mixing drinks (see Sitting Duck above).
  • Story and Gameplay Segregation: Despite Jill's skill providing a Booze-Based Buff onto her teammates, it's perfectly compatible with those who are canonically intolerant to alcohol, like Type 64 and HK416 for example. The latter takes the cake especially because her weak tolerance to alcohol was the entire reason why all the hullabaloo that went down during the event even happened in the first place.
  • Support Party Member: As detailed under Mechanically Unusual Fighter, Jill is simply incapable of harming anything on her own, and her chibi sprites don't even possess attack animations. Instead, she acts as a mobile status buffer to the remaining 4 T-Dolls on the team, especially the other VA-11 HALL-A units.
  • Tomato in the Mirror: Griffin City's version of Jill is actually a virtual copy of the real Jill Stingray based on Anna's memories of her.

  • Adaptation Deviation: Sei in her home game doesn't have a "preferred" drink. Instead, her orders vary depending on the day she stops by the bar. She does have a preference towards cold and sweet drinks and while Moonblast could be served to her, it's not strictly her favourite, as nothing in Jill's recipes actually fulfills all of Sei's preferences (cold, sweet, and non-alcoholic).
  • Deflector Shields: Her skill gives the handguns, submachine guns and shotguns in her echelon a temporary shield whose HP scales depending on the target T-Doll's health. If Jill is buffing her with a Moonblast drink, the shield's health is doubled.
  • Emergency Transformation: At the end of the VA-11 HALL-A event, the real-world G&K manage to save the VA-11 HALL-A cast from their world's imminent destruction by extracting their data from 416's neural cloud before she woke up from her alcohol-induced stupor.

  • Mythology Gag: During the Griffin City storyline, Jericho comments Sei would make a perfect member of the White Knight's Valkyrie Corps since they serve as paramedics. In her home game, Sei is indeed a member.
  • Still Wearing the Old Colors: M16A1 comments Sei is still wearing her old White Knight power armor despite the White Knights having been disbanded after their corruption was exposed to the public.
  • Token Minority: She's the only human member within the Griffin City White Knight's which has cause her some angst since most of her T-Dolls think she's more a reliability while on duty. This is why she respects Jericho as she was the only White Knight that didn't judge her for being a human and allowed her into her squad.
  • Tomato in the Mirror: Griffin City's version of Sei is actually a virtual copy of the real Sei Asagiri based on Anna's memories of her.
  • You Have Researched Breathing: Like other VA-11 HALL-A units apart from Jill and Dorothy, Sei has to be equipping her unique armor for it to take effect, despite her conspicuously wearing it from the start.
