Looking up to Magical Girls - Tome 1

Product Information

Foil: To Sulfur, both girls are angry little gremlins who hide their true powers because they don't like the image they give off in those forms. Their main difference is that Kiwi tends to wear her heart on her sleeve while Sulfur never lets anyone really know what she's thinking.

Defeat by Modesty: Played With, as it's a combination of this trope, being forced to sing while naked, and then awakening a singing talent she didn't know she had that ultimately caused her loss against Utena. Beware the Nice Ones: Utena is a meek, rather shy girl who wouldn't dream of hurting anyone, and even her Baiser persona stops short of permanent injury, going so far as to reject Magia Azul when she was willing to fully submit to her. Unless you wish to harm her beloved Magical Girls, that is, then all bets are off. What You Are in the Dark: Imitatio is adamant that Baiser must be faking her civilian persona, becoming baffled and infuriated after Utena tries to protect her own "Imita" identity as a civilian when they're alone out of altruism. The Nudifier: Besides the obvious reason of her body poorly handling the full power, she's reluctant to use "Panther Mode" for battles unless the situation is really dire because it burns all her clothes off every single time to leave nothing but smoke for modesty.

Hate at First Sight With Sulfur, and it even extends to their civilian identities despite not knowing their magical girl selves due to the recognition-inhibition magic.

Dreary Half-Lidded Eyes: Her eyes are usually set in a partial squint, helping advertise her constant snide attitude (with bits of the "perpetually tired" archetype after she admits to playing rogue-likes into the wee hours). You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Once Utena reaches a new level of power thanks to her fight with Lord Enorme, he has Lord Enorme disposed of.Laughing Mad: Utena sometimes falls into this when she gets really into a fight, even when she's losing.

Hair-Trigger Temper: Very thin-skinned and irascible, though admittedly that was mostly while a member of Lord’s Legion, very much not a healthy work environment. Cute But Psycho: Has a very Kawaiiko stage persona that’s not entirely an act, but under her photogenic sugary veneer is a city-busting resentful screamer ready to blow at the first sting of a wounded ego. Card-Carrying Villain: While their level of commitment to being "the forces of evil" varies, they all are pretty much aware that they’re petty, malicious, and the bad guys. Hair-Trigger Temper: The slightest insult or inconvenience against her is enough to put her in a surly, fuming funk. The slightest insult or inconvenience against Baiser is enough to get her to start whipping her bombs out in public. Transformation Trinket: Venalita gives all the evil magical girls a star-shaped badge that they need to hold to activate their powers.

Devious Daggers: Her magical girl weapons are a set of knives shaped like the Enormeeta Transformation Trinket with an elongated bottom prong. Their use fits with her sneaky fighting style and snide, edgy personality. Take Over the World: His stated goal, though why he wants it and how he plans to pull it off with a handful of magic teenagers that don’t share the ambition remains rather up in the air. Villain Protagonist: Played With. Utena was forced to become a villain and is by all intents a good girl at heart. However, since the story is narrated mostly from her point of view, the villainous team is given more focus than the heroines. Sadist: The impetus of her character and her problems; Utena gets an extremely strong sexual thrill out of seeing magical girls beaten down and struggling. It takes very little cajoling from Venalita to keep her in the program after her first fight awakens this fetish, and she’s only fallen further from there. Despite her tastes, Utena is in truth a gentle soul; she feels guilty when taking her "games" too far, wants to see her opponents eventually rise above adversity (which includes herself), takes pain not to cause lasting injury, and very much does not get off on breaking people’s spirits or making them into slaves. Nerd in Evil's Helmet: She remains a giant magical girl fangirl, but keeps it down-low while fighting Tres Magia by overplaying her (already high) sadistic tendencies and desire for a Worthy Opponent.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Devious and manipulative he is, he can be shown to be rather friendly when things are peaceful, and does deliver some well-pointed advice to Utena. Not to mention of him telling Utena and Co. to come pre-transformed before meeting Lord Enorme and her lieutenants to protect their civilian identities. Level-Up at Intimacy 5: It is only after clearly defining the boundaries of her relationship with Baiser and coming to more wholly accept the pain and pleasure that sparring with her can offer that Leopolt finally masters and stabilizes her second form into a proper La Verita transformation.

Let's Get Dangerous!: Utena is normally a kind, shy middle schoolgirl, but put her in a real battle and she will gleefully torment you to satisfy her sadism. She's actually at her most dangerous when sufficiently pressured, suddenly becoming a terrifyingly capable Combat Pragmatist with various out-of-the-box tactics to bring down her opponents.
