## Tropes

* Adaptational Heroism: Compared to her original counterpart, this version of Vexille is actually tame in comparison.
* Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: In the anime, she's considered as Marie's twin sister.
* Anti-Villain: Surprisingly enough, as she hasn't actually killed anybody
* Ax-Crazy: Holy crap, she's got one too many screws loose in her head. It's what makes her role as quite impressive that she can easily control her emotions quite well.
* The Bad Guy Wins: By a technicality. While she failed to take control of Marie's body, just so she can kill Luban, she was able to convince Marie to merge together, therefore making her whole with her designated target
* Big Good: Believe it or not, she serves as this with Xander in The Aftermath.
* Blood is the New Black:
* Blood From the Mouth: She ends up getting impaled quite graphically by Julia. Fortunately, Sima Zhao
* Blood-Splattered Warrior: Not quite, but she's normally seen bleeding from her head, covering half of her face in blood. The blood-covered smile doesn't even help
* Body Horror: One in the form of her right hand, which it transforms into a glowing dark-red claw that she sometimes uses to protect herself from the enemies around her.
* Breakout Character: Even though she's a different incarnation of the original insane woman, Vexille immediately became one of the most popular characters due to how unique she acts in comparison.
* Broken Bird: Insanity aside, this girl was to represent Marie's negativity throughout her reign as the Wu Emperor. As Marie had pretty much lost her composure with the overall problems surrounding who should really succeed her as the Emperor of Wu, Vexille was created simply to block out her negative emotions. But unknown to Marie, Vexille had already awoken, much to the shock of the .
* Catchphrase: "I found you....!"
* Contrasting Sequel Character:
* Dark Action Girl: She can definitely take care of herself, insanity withstanding.
* Establishing Character Moment: Her first scene in the main story has her smile at Marie for only a split-second before
* Evil Has Standards: As much of a psychopathic bitch she is, even she is borderline disgusted over Sun Luban's disregard for her relatives and Julia's unhealthy obsession to her mother. This was the main factor behind her decision to force Marie to merge together
* Expy: Like how Marie is inspired by two notable characters, Vexille should be known as Paxton Fettel and Saiko-chan's love child in one package
* On another note, she is similar to Lord Loss, as like him, she also revels in the agony and suffering of people, most notably Marie and, to an extent, Julia.
* Believe it or not, she's entirely similar
* Even Evil has Loved Ones: Evil is a stretch, but she entirely cares for Marie Shintani to the point she outright begs her to fully accept her off. The Aftermath has her take care of Xander in her place, knowing that he's completely affected by his sister's passing.
* Eye Scream: She suffered from this when she finally emerges from her mirror prison, blood leaking down her eye from her head.
* Fan Disservice: Beauty aside, Vexille looks quite menacing even with all the blood dripping down her face.
* Final Boss: The final obstacle Marie has to face before she puts a stop to the Succession Wars, as she has to confront her demons herself.
* Giggling Villain: She occasionally does this when she sees how far humanity had fallen due to their destructive nature. Julia's sanity slippage was one notable example of how far she had fallen into her depravity.
* Half the Man She Used to Be: The Aftermath has her get horrifically cut in half, horizontally-wise,
* Hyperactive Metabolism: No matter how much she gets hurt, Vexille can simply recover from her wounds without any troubles.
* I'm a Real Boy: As a result of her merging with Marie Shintani, she immediately succeeds in becoming a real person. This would later be a major plot point in The Aftermath, where she manages to separate from Marie's body before the infection consumed her entirely, creating her own body in the process
* Identical Stranger: She's almost a carbon copy of Marie, only with a few differences being her hair and clothing
* Laughing Mad: Due to her , she would sometimes go insane with her laughter, with some comparing her as a female Joker!
* Made of Iron: Not quite, she's durable for the darkest desire of humanity.
* Noble Demon: In spite of being a psychopath, she doesn't really . Overall, she's entirely fair towards the ones that realized their flaws.
* Psychopathic Womanchild: Even at her best behavior, she exhibits childlike glee at the ones that . When asked about why she takes joy over seeing the dark state of humanity, she admits that she finds it hilarious to see people deprave themselves for their own benefit.
* Reasonable Authority Figure: For all her rage and insanity, she's informative and reasonable enough for Marie to realize she can't ignore her dark side forever. Fortunately for her, it's a good thing because compared to Luban and Julia, who don't really care about the people except themselves, and Charlie, who's too arrogant to realize his flaws, Vexille is only looking out for her good half Marie.
* Red Eyes, Take Warning: At a certain point, her eyes glow dark red . Vexille admits that it's to represent her disgust at how humanity had succumbed to. Julia definitely learned why you must not mess with her at any cost.
* She Cleans Up Nicely: After merging with Marie, Vexille looks surprisingly normal for a woman who's plagued by her demons.
* Slasher Smile: CONSTANTLY. This girl has gotten so much issues that there's not a single scene where she tones down her insanity. Since she represents Marie's negative traits, this is entirely justified. And while she has softened up in The Aftermath, she still has her moments of insanity.
* Suddenly Shouting: Once she realizes that Marie still hasn't made a choice yet, she outright begs her to accept her dark side, knowing of Julia's obsession and Luban's hunger for power.

The Aftermath actually keeps her development by being the one to help Xander in his quest to stop
* Unstoppable Rage: Full Stop! Because she represents Marie's darkness that was bottled up during the Succession Wars, Vexille was actually enraged over Marie refusing to admit that Julia and Luban causing enough havoc was her fault.
* Well-Intended Extremist: For all her efforts, all she cared about is to try to make Marie realize that hiding her anger and rage is definitely not a good idea. In addition, Vexille didn't actually kill people during the succession wars given that
