Counterpart Tropes

(Note: "Magiverse" is technically another name for MAeH. Also, more TBA.)

#### Characterization and background

* **Heroic Self-Deprecation**: During the first few chapters (starting from chapter three) of *Cherry Magica 3*, he's unsure of himself and his worth as a Gym Leader due to being new to the business.. yet his students absolutely adore and look up to him.

#### Appearance

* **Anime Hair**: Maintains his ahoge, as in other media.

#### Abilities

* **Non-Elemental**: As a Gym Leader, he uses Normal-types like Herdier.

#### Relationships

* **Adaptation Relationship Overhaul**: In canon, him and Bianca are friends from childhood. In *Nanette Magica*, he has a crush on Bianca, and they eventually start dating.
* **Platonic Life-Partners**: With Gina before her death.
* **Irony**: After Gina's death, clouded with grief, he tearfully begs the first person he sees to revive Gina or ask for a miracle from the Magic of Friendship or the Light of Hope, and the person happens to be Nova. Unbeknowest to him and everyone, she *is* the Light of Hope and could revive her, but doing so would blow her cover.

### Kynaverse

#### Characterization and background

* **And Then What?**: Like in the games, his main problem is that he's not sure what he'll do with his life when he becomes Champion.

#### Relationships

* **Childhood Friends**: With Bianca and Nina. It's implied in his origin comic that he may be in love with Nina too, and this is eventually confirmed at some point in *Elizabeth Magica*.
* **Nice Guy**

## Bianca

### Magiverse

#### Characterization and background

* **Aside Glance**: She waves to the audience upon introducing herself.
* **Berserk Button**: She does not like her opponents dodging because she says it's cowardly.
* **Break the Cutie**: In "Ducthess Pilut," she cries when her father says she'll have to stop her journey, up to the point where she witches out. She gets better by the end of the episode, however.
* **Bunny-Ears Lawyer**: Bianca is a Genki Girl and a Motor Mouth, but she is a well skilled trainer.
* **Calling Your Attacks**:
	+ Regardless of whether the Pokémon belongs to her, or even knows the attack!
	+ ***"Floral Petal... STRIKE!"***
* **Crash-Into Hello**: A running gag with her, with somecreature being knocked into water every time she gets overexcited.
* **Crouching Moron, Hidden Bad\*bleep\***: She might not look like it and she may have lost a lot of her matches on-screen, but she has had a lot of success off-screen multiple times.
* **Cute Clumsy Girl**: Enough to end up crashing into Ash everytime she shows up and have a Catchphrase centered around it ("Out of the way!")
* **Flanderization**: Her hyperactivity and ditziness are much more extreme than they were in *Pokémon: Black and White Versions*.
* **Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold**: Coupled with the innocence, naivity and immaturity that this trope entails, and she's definitely pretty as well.
* **Hoist by His Own Petard**: How Minccino was caught. When Bianca pulled out a dirty Poké Ball, Minccino (still wild at the time) was so desperate to clean it that he scuttled right up onto her shoulder and started dusting it with his tail...which caused the ball to open and suck him in!
* **I'm Taking Her Home with Me!**: Especially in her earlier episodes. She dials it back after Gina's death, though.
* **Innocently Insensitive**: Bianca can be unknowingly inconsiderate.
* **Jerk\*bleep\* Ball**: During the Club Battle arc, she was asked by Luke to film his battle, but instead focused entirely on his Zorua (who wasn't even in the battle). When Luke called her out on it, she haughtily acted like she hadn't done anything wrong.
* **No Sense of Personal Space**: She can't stop touching her female friends. *Oopsies...*
	+ And then in the Clubsplosion arc, she can't stop obsessing over (and touching) the various Fighting Pokémon's muscles.
* **One Steve Limit**: Averted in the dub. Bianca from the adaption of *Pokémon Heroes* has the same name as her.
* **Plucky Girl**: In her own words when pursuing Emolga, "I'll NEVER give up!"
* **Volumetric Mouth**: She often gets one when she's excited.

#### Relationships

* **Overprotective Dad**: Just like in canon. She mentions that it took forever to get her dad to let her start a journey on her own. Said dad tries to take her back home in BW049 and almost succeeds, except that Bianca ends up witching out. Things get better, luckily.
* **Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl**: Energetic Girl to Luke's Savvy Guy.
* **Tomboy and Girly Girl**: When she's present, she's the Girly Girl to Iris' Tomboy.

### Kynaverse

#### Characterization and background

* **Dumb Blonde**: Subverted epically—Bianca is a bit spacey at first, and clearly doubts herself, but she's much smarter than she appears.
* **Southern Belle**: Portrayed as such, in sort of a Stealth Pun on her Japanese name.

#### Relationships

* **Abusive Parents**: Her dad is this to her, mostly emotionally and verbally (it's implied that he saves the physical abuse for her mother). Part of her character arc is overcoming this.
* **Nice Girl**
