Cyllene (FiH)/Tropes

Tropes that apply to Captain Cyllene, written as if it were a TV Tropes page.

## Characterization and background

* **Absurd Phobia**: The captain of the Survey Corps, whose entire job is to research Pokémon, is absolutely terrified of a Wurmple.
* **Ambiguously Related**: Her appearance, name, and stoic demeanor imply she might be an ancestor of Cyrus, but there's no official word on it.
* **Big Eater**: Beni once mentions that she ate *ten orders* of potato mochi all by herself due to the stress she's feeling.
* **Defrosting Ice Queen**: In the climax of the third season of FiHL, it's safe to say she's gained a bit of a soft spot for the magical warriors, with her outright ordering them to come back to the village alive.
* **Good Counterpart**: She is one to Cyrus. Both appear to be rather cold, stern, and unfriendly, but whereas Cyrus was a major sociopath who wanted to remake the world in his twisted vision, Cyllene proves to be one of the heroes' most valuable allies when they're exiled by Kamado, and lends her support to them in whatever way she can.
* **Good Is Not Nice**: Even after Victoria proves herself, her meetings with the magical warriors essentially boil down to a brief report and a terse farewell while reminding them of their duties. Nina doesn't like it one bit.
* **Loophole Abuse**: After Kamado banishes the heroes, her Abra *conveniently* wanders off to aid Nina. Cyllene pretends that she had absolutely no idea where it might have gone and if it aided Nina of its own free will, against Kamado's orders, it's not her problem.
* **Mundane Utility**: She uses her Abra to teleport bugs out of her office.
* **My Master, Right or Wrong**: Although she is clearly unhappy at doing so, she fulfills Kamado's order to banish the main characters without complaint. Though it does not stop her from loaning Nina her Abra so they can access the pastures. And she ultimately goes against orders and reinstates them back into the Galaxy Team once it’s clear that they have the solution.
* **Not So Above It All**: Is seen enjoying herself at the festival between the three major teams.
* **Not So Stoic**:
	+ The one thing that can break her demeanor is bugs showing up in her office.
	+ After seeing a possessed Nina, she loses it.
* **Reasonable Authority Figure**: Arguably even more so than Kamado. Regardless of her cold demeanor, she does still give Victoria a fair chance to prove herself and her test is nothing less than what Laventon described to her. When the heroes is exiled, Cyllene takes it upon herself to provide as much support to Nina as she reasonably can and sends her Abra to ensure that Nina would still have access to the pastures.
* **Screw the Rules, I Make Them!**: After Nina is freed with the help of the reconciled magical warriors, and after the Team Normal says she has a way to solve the immediate calamity they are facing, Cyllene immediately disregards Kamado's orders and reinstates them as members of the Galaxy Team. Her justification is that if Kamado didn't want her to make that decision, he shouldn't have put her in charge.
* **Tsundere**: When Nina thanks her for her help during their exile, she promptly denies it and says she had no idea where her Abra went. Considering her Abra came with a *letter from her*, she was probably keeping up appearances.

## Appearance

* **No Brows**: She has no eyebrows, which serve to really emphasize her stern appearance.

## Abilities

* **An Ice Person**: She has ice-based spells.
