History Characters / NeptuniaMakers

** Both IF and Compa are sidelined throughout ''Victory'', with their counterparts from the Ultradimension starting off as little kids who don't add much to the story aside from serving as Plutia and Neptune's adopted children; meanwhile Ultra IF is a DesignatedVictim who gets kidnapped by Arfoire twice throughout the game. In fact, the only way to make them playable is through DLC.

!!Superdimension IF (first game/[=Re;Birth1=]/[=reVerse=])

!!Hyperdimension IF (mk2/[=Re;Birth2=], VII/VIIR, Sisters)

!!Ultradimension IF (Victory/[=Re;Birth3=])
* BadassAdorable: Her 6-years old self is playable in Re:Birth 3, and she has better starting equipment, better combo, better support skills than her adult counterpart. Her EXE Drive has the highest damage among all EXE Drives.

!!Superdimension Compa (first game/[=Re;Birth1=]/[=reVerse=])

!!Hyperdimension Compa (mk2/[=Re;Birth2=], VII/VIIR, Sisters)

!!Ultradimension Compa (Victory/[=Re;Birth3=])

* ActorAllusion: Her VerbalTic, "''desu-no''"", is the same as [[Manga/RozenMaiden Suiseiseki]], another Creator/NatsukiKuwatani character.

A humble adventurer that has seen her fair share of travels, which she's wrote about in her novels. Wielding her Dragonslayer, she's always willing to help out anyone in need. Represents the company of her namesake along with its [[VideoGame/{{Ys}} most]] famous [[VideoGame/TrailsSeries properties]]. She has a counterpart in the Ultradimension, who is an adventuring swordswoman.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Makes frequent illusions to many past adventures she's had, along with her tendency to show up in places where her sword would be helpful to the party with little explanation. Her Ultradimension self is an adventurist who even has her own written books based on her adventures.

!!Hyperdimension Falcom (mk2/[=Re;Birth2=], Victory/[=Re;Birth3=])

!!Ultradimension Falcom (Victory/[=Re;Birth3=], [=Re;Birth1=])
* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Ultradimension Falcom meets her Hyperdimension self after Nepgear introduces them to each other simply stating "Falcom, this is Falcom.".

* RedIsHeroic: While her Hyperdimension counterpart has red hair, Ultradimension Falcom has red as her main theme, matching her HumbleHero personality. Neptune even referred to her as an "I'm-going-on-an-adventure"-looking girl the first time she meets Falcom in Lastation.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Ultradimension Falcom wears one.
* SwordPlant: Part of her Ultradimension counterpart's victory pose.

* TomboyishPonytail: Her hair much longer than her [[BoyishShortHair Hyperdimension counterpart]], thus wearing her hair as a ponytail.

A small and cute girl with a sharper tongue than her demeanor would indicate. She appeared once in the Ultradimension.

A mage from the Ultradimension who pops up mysteriously several times during the quest.

A shy martial artist and masochist from the Ultradimension.

A furry girl from the Ultradimension who wields daggers.

A hyperactive ninja from the Ultradimension who joins late in the game.

* BadassLongcoat: She wears one that's somewhat ill-fitting.

!!Superdimension IF (first game/[=Re;Birth1=])

* HarmfulToMinors: [[spoiler:Her first introduction to Iris Heart has IF witness her subject Arfoire to ColdBloodedTorture. This [[OpenTheIris completely freaks]] [[BlueWithShock her out]]. When Iris Heart finally finishes and tries to talk with IF her [[BlankWhiteEyes eyes go white]], lets out a single [[LittleNo no]] before breaking down crying. Compa, who was fortunate enough to not witness it, was immediately worried by the drastic change in IF's personality]].

--> "WHAT? WHAT THE HELL!? WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO MODIFY MY F%&$ING BIKE?!?"

%%* HospitalHottie: Though her personality emphasises cuteness more than hotness. - doesn't explain the "hospital" part of her personality

!!Superdimension Compa (first game/[=Re;Birth1=])

--> '''Compa:''' "Besides, syringes are easy to use. You can whack, thrust, or inject something into your opponent."
--> '''Nepgear:''' "I wouldn't want to get a shot from the same needle after you stuck it into a nasty monster."
--> '''Compa:''' "I won't inoculate you. This medicine is just for bad people. If you give them a dose of this or even a puff of air, it's very effective at shutting them up for good."
--> '''Nepgear''': [[LampshadeHanging "Th-That was a completely inappropriate comment to make as a nurse!"]]

* ActorAllusion:
** In ''mk2'', Nepgear's entire [[AllJustADream dream sequence]] is a reference to ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''[='s=] infamous third episode, complete with the same voice actresses for all three participants[[note]]Creator/KaoriMizuhashi (Mami) as Nisa; Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos (Madoka) as Nepgear, and Creator/EriKitamura and Creator/SarahAnneWilliams (The Japanese and English voice actresses of Sayaka) as Uni[[/note]]. It begins with Nisa fighting off against monsters with Nepgear and Uni cheering her on. Nisa then feels that her body is becoming a lot lighter, [[spoiler: [[WhamEpisode but gets]] chewed on by a random monster]].

--> '''Nisa:''' "[[BigYes Yes]], on [[GoodFeelsGood justice!]]"

-->'''Red:''' ''" Phew! I think I lost her... Lady White Heart's good at chasing people! She didn't have to get so upset... I know it was like a grenade explosion, but I'm just a human. Everyone cuts a fart once in a while. Plus, the louder it is, the less smell it has. So they say. Anyway, that one was really sound-barrier shatteringly loud. ...She'll get over it soon."''

* LargeHam: Somehow her determined walk, her flinging of her hair, and her LimitBreak must be done with such ham for someone who's quiet. [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kind of like someone actually]].

* RedIsHeroic: While her Hyperdimension counterpart has red, Ultradimension Falcom has red as her main theme, matching her HumbleHero personality. Neptune even referred to her as an "I'm-going-on-an-adventure"-looking girl the first time she meets Falcom in Lastation.

!! MAGES.

* {{Expy}}: She's based of Jin Kazama from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''.

* AnimalEaredHeadband: Actually a hat.
* BigEater: Implied; her character-exclusive events with Blanc and Nepgear (JP version) in ''Victory'' has her talking about her favorite foods in different parts of Gamindustry.

* ChainsawGood: How she starts off her LimitBreak.

* TheGadfly: At one point, she manages to fool Vert into thinking that [[VisualNovel/SayaNoUta she and everyone she knows has the appearance of raw meat, while Raw Meat herself looks like a normal girl.]]
* ImNotAHeroIm: She rejects Vert's assertion that she's a hero, stating that in a perfect world someone like her who brutually beats people into submission wouldn't be necessary.

* CastingGag: Being an {{Expy}} of Rena, she's appropriately voiced by the former's Japanese and English [=VAs=] -- Creator/MaiNakahara and Creator/EmiLo respectively, the latter voicing Rena in ''Gou/Sotsu'', and [[https://twitter.com/kitsunesqueak/status/1618711251676434432 even confirmed to be Higurashi's VA]].

* VirtuousCharacterCopy: While she does take a few aspects from Reimu, one thing she doesn't have from the latter is her occassional {{greed}}y and [[{{Jerkass}} rude]] behavior towards anyone she meets, [[FantasticRacism especially if its a]] {{Yokai}}. Instead, Shanghai Alice is a relatively level-headed and friendly wanderer.

* BlueIsHeroic: She is one of the main heroines of ''[=MegaTagmension=] Blanc'' and her hair is blue.

* AmnesiacGod: [[spoiler:She's actually a goddess who was responsible for the creations of the Sega Hard Girls. Once she fully regains her memories, she realizes who she is now.]]

* BlueIsHeroic: Her hair and color scheme is blue and is one of the main protagonists of ''Superdimension Neptune''.

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:As the True Ending shows, she is the only Maker in the entire series to be a goddess.]]

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: IF is the Tomboy to Compa's Girly Girl. The former is more of level-headed DeadpanSnarker while the latter is an all-loving KindheartedSimpleton.

%%* BareMidriffsAreFeminine

* CosplayOtakuGirl: Her outfits let her dress as [[VideoGame/TrailsSeries a member of the Bracer Guild]], [[VideoGame/{{Ys}} Adol]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Kloe's school uniform]], and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsToAzure Rixia]].
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Most of the girls ''really'' do want Falcom, to the point of threatening Nepgear if she hits on Falcom. It's close to the point of an UnwantedHarem.

* GameBreakingBug: None of her equipment from the store is kept in your inventory in a NewGamePlus, meaning you're going to be spending a large amount of credits to keep her geared through each playthrough if you intend to use her. You can get around this annoyance, somewhat, by using her DLC equipment instead. Thankfully rectified in the remake.
* HeroesGoneFishing: One of Falcom's chirper events has her and Nepgear doing this, referencing Estelle's love of fishing in her home series.
* HeroesPreferSwords: She uses {{BFS}}s that slay dragons.

* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Ultra dimension Falcom meets her Hyperdimension self after Nepgear introduces them to each other simply stating "Falcom, this is Falcom.".

* TheReliableOne: Called as such by [=MarvelousAQL=] and MAGES, when they're stopping the Fake Purple Heart in ''Re;Birth 1''.
* RedIsHeroic: She's a HumbleHero who has red hair, while her Ultradimension counterpart has red as her main theme. Neptune even referred to her as an "I'm-going-on-an-adventure"-looking girl the first time she meets Falcom in Lastation.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Ultradimension Falcom wears one.

* TomboyishPonytail: The Ultradimension version has much longer than her [[BoyishShortHair Hyperdimension counterpart]], thus wearing her hair as a ponytail.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: In ''Superdimension Neptune'', actually subverted, and quite hard. Her [[SuperMode Flame Awakening]], while quite awesome, is NEVER shown in any cutscenes. This makes it a case of ''Gameplay'' Power To The Max.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In one of the rare moments IF ''truly'' snaps is when [[BerserkButton her bike gets modified without her knowing, much to the shock of everyone who is used to seeing her annoyed at her worst]].

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Unlike IF, Compa's hair and eyes are both colored in light orange pink.

%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Between her and IF she's the Girly Girl.

* CanonImmigrant: Few people, especially outside Japan, realize this, but Gust-chan is the one few anthropomorphic characters who ''pre-dates'' the franchise - she began as the mascot for Gust's online store. When Gust was invited to participate in the crossover, they just had Compile Heart use the existing Gust-chan design instead of coming up with a new character.

* ThirdPersonPerson: She speaks this way in the English dub.

* VerbalTic: In the Japanese version of the game, Gust's ''desu-no''. [[Manga/RozenMaiden Where have I heard this before]], [[ActorAllusion considering who voiced Gust]]?

* ACupAngst: She is '''extremely''' self-conscious of her breast size, which is often used by others to deliberately provoke her. It certainly does not help that she's the only character in the series to have the smallest cup size at AAA . When she first meets Vert, she starts to become envious of her huge rack.

** In ''mk2'', Nepgear's entire [[AllJustADream dream sequence]] has Nisa fight off against monsters with Nepgear and Uni[[note]]Bonus points for her being Sayaka[[/note]] cheering her on. Nisa then [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica feels that her body is becoming a lot lighter]], [[spoiler: [[WhamEpisode but gets]] chewed on by a random monster]]. This is a reference to the fact that Creator/KaoriMizuhashi (Nisa) voices Mami in the Japanese version of ''PMMM'', Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos (Nepgear) voices Madoka in the English dub, and Creator/EriKitamura and Creator/SarahAnneWilliams (Uni) voices Sayaka in both versions.
** Speaking of Kaori Mizuhashi, she is one of the ''best'' people qualified to voice a character based on Nippon Ichi, considering the fact that she has voiced a main character in almost every single Nippon Ichi game and is practically an unofficial mascot for the company anyway. Her credits include Culotte in ''VideoGame/LaPucelle'', Laharl in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea|HourOfDarkness}}'', Marona in ''VideoGame/PhantomBrave'', Pram in ''VideoGame/MakaiKingdom'', Hanako in ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories'', Shauna in ''VideoGame/SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters'' and Asagi in ''VideoGame/PrinnyCanIReallyBeTheHero'' as well as various minor roles.
** For the English dub as well, NISA (the company) seems to have mirrored this by having Creator/MichelleRuff voice Nisa. She is in plenty of NISA titles as well, Etna in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea|HourOfDarkness}}'' (sans the Atlus-published [=PS2=] version), Salvatore in ''VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice'', Desco in ''VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten'', Asagi at one point, and various minor roles. In fact, she is probably the most common actor NISA uses, and if not, certainly at least the most common 'female' VA.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Nisa has short, dark blue hair that coincides with her dark blue eyes.

* BigDamnHeroes: In ''[=Re;Birth1=]'', [[spoiler:when the party chases Ganache to a factory in Lastation, after losing the first Killachine he reveals there are 3 more where that one came from, and when it seems like this is it for the party, MAGES. comes from out of nowhere and takes out ''all 3 of them'' by destroying their insides with magic.]]

* CatchPhrase: "Loochs tneve emag noitamina cisum".

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Has blue hair that match her blue eyes.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her hair and eyes are both colored orange.

* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:Two of her former allies were lost to a trap. She took their names to come up with her own code name [[TakeUpMySword as well as their weapons]] to continue protecting Gamindustri.]]
%%* {{Ninja}}: Of the [[HighlyVisibleNinja Highly-Visible variety.]]

* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:The reason she's always smiling is to keep a promise to her fallen comrades.]]
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Essentially one button away from dressing like [[VideoGame/SenranKagura Katsuragi.]]

* SwordAndGun: As with Adult!Neptune, she wields both a sword and a pistol. However, unlike Adult!Neptune, the bayonet on the revolver allows the gun to double as a melee weapon to be used in normal combo attacks. The revolver itself is fired only during special attacks.

!! Debuted in VideoGame/NeptuniaSistersVsSisters

* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Tamsoft has long, dark blue hair and dark blue eyes to match.

[[folder:Tropes that apply to both characters]]

%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Between her and Compa, she's the Tomboy.
* TooManyBelts: [[DownplayedTrope Less extreme than most examples.]] She's has two, three if you count the collar. One for her pants and one on her coat to hold her nine cellphones.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: IF does this to Arfoire late in the game, [[spoiler:after she has stolen or copied all of the goddess's powers, and brought Momus to life]]. This distraction gives enough time for Compa to sneak towards her and steal the tome Arfoire was carrying [[spoiler:which contained Histoire.]]

* FightingForAHomeland: Despite following Purple Heart, IF isn't a citizen of any land. [[spoiler:Yvoire makes her seriously consider poisoning Neptune by offering her citizenship in Leanbox.]]

* CovertPervert: She gets distracted by Steamax's porn mags despite [[HypocriticalHumor berating Purple Heart for looking at them a few seconds earlier.]]

* CallBack: Despite being DemotedToExtra, [[spoiler:[[ApocalypseHow once the two Gamindustris start to destroy each other]], she quickly takes charge instructing the four Planeptune [=CPUs=] on what they're going to need to do to mitigate the damage and protect people.]]

* HarmfulToMinors: [[spoiler:Her first introduction to Iris Heart has IF witness her subject Arfoire to ColdBloodedTorture. This [[OpenTheIris completely freaks]] [[BlueWithShock her out]]. When Iris Heart finally finishes and tries to talk with IF her [[BlankWhiteEyes eyes go white]], lets out a single [[LittleNo no]] before breaking down crying. Compa, who was fortunate enough to not witness it, was immediately worried by the drastic change in IF's personality.]]

* YuriFan: [[spoiler:As an ''infant'' no less. When Neptune and Nepgear are (platonically) proclaiming their love for another, Baby!IF's reaction is: "...Dis is hawt!"]]

!!Spin-offs:

%%* BareMidriffsAreFeminine (Superdimension Neptune)
* BerserkButton: Do not damage or tamper with her bike.

* NiceGirl: One of the nicest characters in the game.

* GeniusDitz: As said in her description, she nearly reaches Neptune levels of ditziness, yet she came up with the idea of making an Antidote Pudding for Neptune as a sure-fire way to give the antidote to her. [[spoiler:And she also managed to successfully sneak on Arfoire to snatch Histoire from her hands.]]

* LampshadedTheObscureReference: Her ''VII'' spell Arcane Shell is described "An obligatory special skill that people who know about it, know about it!" [[spoiler: It's [[VideoGame/AgarestSenki2 Record of Agarest War 2's]] version of the recurring Arc-En-Ciel combination attack.]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: For some as innocent as her, she [[UnwittingPawn will secretly take advantage of people]] trying to do so to her, while also setting up legal ownership of concepts and items so that even if they catch on, she can sue them into oblivion if they try anything. Case in point, [[spoiler:she [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu blackmails Vert]] about staying silent on her "Kichiku Megane Harlem Set for Virgins", especially to keep that info from IF as Vert fears that she would become incredibly disappointed with her. She also sells Vert a voucher to play an MMO for free, for 10,000 Credits. She was surprised Vert jumped immediately at the offer, though, thinking it was a steal.]]

* FlechetteStorm: She throws a lot of knives at a group of enemies ''then'' throws a [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Prinny]] as the final blow. [[MadeOfExplodium It explodes of course.]]

%%* BareMidriffsAreFeminine

* BrickJoke: Delivers one from Gust and her own at the same time. She eats IF's blanc-manger, and later sends her Blanc's Manju. After joining the team she [[spoiler: gives IF a "Kichiku Megane Harlem Set for Virgins" because she notices that IF likes Vert and that Vert has one as well. After a brief moment of disappointment she just passes it off as RED mixing names up again.]]

* ImprobableWeaponUser: [[ShoutOut Yo-yos]]. [[VideoGame/StarTropics Because there are legends of a hero who fought off aliens with one.]]

* LargeHam: Somehow her determined walk, her flinging of her hair, and her LimitBreak must be done with such ham for someone who's quiet. [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kind of like someone actually.]]

** Both IF and Compa are sidelined throughout ''Victory'', with their counterparts from the Ultradimension starting off as little kids who don't add much to the story aside from serving as Plutia and Neptune's adopted children and the IF being a DesignatedVictim.

* InsistentTerminology: She claims that her names is "MAGES. with a period", no exceptions. Which is probably a nod towards the name of studio 5pb., developer of the Science Adventure series/universe in which ''Steins;Gate'' takes place.

* DropTheHammer: Her weapon of choice, though it's as impromptu as it gets. It's literally just a huge weight on a long pole.

-----

* DemotedToExtra: She's gone from the role of SupportingLeader in the last two games to being a one of your Scouts and a DesignatedVictim who isn't even playable without {{DLC}}.

* DemotedToExtra: Just like IF.

* SoLastSeason: With a similar character concept but packing a SuperMode, Makers have been largely obsoleted by Gold Third in ''VII'', and as a result, most of them have disappeared. IF and Compa are the only survivors of the original Makers, due to GrandfatherClause, having a more versatile skill set, and personifying the series' actual creators.
