Blue Eyes/Characters
This is the Character Sheet for the first book of The Blue Trilogy, "Blue Eyes".
Rachelle Hannaway
Rachelle Hannaway
One of the six "Agents" and the first to be revealed - via a Big Damn Heroes moment on motorbike. Rachelle joined the Rapid Rescue Force because she wanted to live "a life of action".
- Badass Biker
- Berserk Button: Anyone who says anything against motorbiking will know this the hard way.
- Biker Babe
- Boisterous Bruiser
- Brooklyn Rage: Explicitly described as coming from that place.
- Catch Phrase: I am Rachelle Hannaway, 23 years old...
- Cool Bike: She gets one - the Hayabusa - around halfway through the story.
- Determinator
- Eagle Land: Invokes Type 2 in combat. She's pretty normal outside of battle.
- Gamer Girl: Albeit she's pretty bad at a certain unnamed light gun game.
- Hot-Blooded: Justified. Her power relies on her hot-bloodedness.
- I Let Homura-chan Die/ My Greatest Failure
"Homura-chan is the only friend I had back then, and yet I wasn't able to protect her that day--"
- Japanese Best Friend: In the form of Sayaka. She also had another one in the past: Homura, who was killed in a gang attack prior to the events of Blue Eyes.
- Les Yay: With Sayaka
- Mighty Whitey: As part of her Backstory, which happens to be a deconstruction of it.
- Ten years ago, she was the only American member of a local martial arts dojo in downtown Brooklyn, with everyone else being of Asian descent. In line with the trope, she was fast in learning the martial arts, earning her disdain from every other member - except one, a Japanese girl about the same age as her. Then, there was a gang attack on the said friend of hers - by white extremists, no less. In other words, her guilt over not being able to defend her only friend in the dojo, combined with the harsh treatment of every other member, made her decide to leave and seek her own path.
- Occidental Otaku
- Phenotype Stereotype: Averted. She has brown eyes and chestnut hair - not your typical "anime American".
- Playing with Fire
- Running Gag: Stopping herself from uttering any profanity.
- Samus Is a Girl: Shortly after her Big Damn Heroes introduction.
- Signature Move: Blazing Bullet
- Trademark Favorite Food: While unnamed in-story, it's obvious that she's eating Pocky.
Jeanne-Marie Newman
Jeanne-Marie Newman (formerly Niemann)
One of the "Agents" of the Rapid Rescue Force, hailing from the United Kingdom. Jeanne is the only daughter of the ultra-wealthy Newman family, and is an aspiring fashion model and figure skating. The latter shows very well in her fighting style.
She joined the R.R.F. in order to ease her sadness over the loss of her parents, who were among the casualties of the Eiffel Tower incident, eight years prior to the events of Blue Eyes.
- Dance Battler
- Every Proper Lady Should Curtsy: Her introduction.
- Fauxreigner: She's actually French, if her first name didn't clue you in. The change in name is deliberate; she is in search of those responsible for the death of her parents.

- Hime Cut
- Making a Splash
- Paper-Thin Disguise: She changes her original (French) surname to an obvious English counterpart, and that's it.
- Phenotype Stereotype: Plays this straight with blue eyes and blond hair.
- Princess Curls: Gets an interesting version in Blue Rainbow: her straight hair ends in little twirls, not unlike Haruka Morishima.
- Spot of Earl Grey Tea
- The Ojou
- Unstoppable Rage: When she finds out that Weissdrache caused the Eiffel Tower incident. This naturally makes her vulnerable to the latter's Teleport Spam attacks.
- You Killed My Parents: Plus a lot of others in Paris that night.
Sayaka Miyazawa
Sayaka Miyazawa
One of the "Agents" of the Rapid Rescue Force, hailing from Japan. Sayaka is a college law student who takes up her R.R.F. duties as a personal quest to find the true meaning of justice.
Akane later learns via Pure Heart that Sayaka had this viewpoint after the death of her sister, Kyoko, at the hands of the Yakuza.

"You look lovely with the glasses, Sayaka. Too bad it must die with you."
- Miko: She's from a family of these.
- Ninja

- School Swimsuit: Wears one underneath her gym uniform, which she then wears underneath her regular uniform.
- Signature Move: Aero Arrow
- The Archer: Her spells invoke archery, especially with her Signature Move.
- The Smart Girl
- Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World: Sayaka is struggling to find a balance between being an Agent and being a law student... Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking and forging friendships]].

- Land Down Under: Her place of origin.
- Lightning Bruiser: She may be the least mobile among the Agents, but she definitely doesn't even appear to be slow at all.

- Ajia means "swift", and this personality is faster and more agile in combat.
- Gasira means "brave", and this personality is the most violent among the three.
- Peek-a-Bangs: This determines her personality. As Eshe, her bangs cover her left eye. As Ajia, they cover her right eye. As Gasira, her bangs are gone, revealing angry eyes.

- Defrosting Ice Queen: Goes from Knight Templar (Blue Eyes) to Tsunshun (Blue Rainbow) to Type B Tsundere (Blue Starlight) - all thanks to Stephan.
- Knight Templar: Displays this during Blue Eyes, and this means she is absolutely unforgiving with evildoers - thus putting her into a sour relationship with Rachelle, who was a former member of a white extremist group. She became this after her parents sold her as a sex slave in exchange for drugs.
- She gets better (i.e. more forgiving) during the events of Blue Rainbow.
- Lady of War

- Badass Bookworm
- Blind Without'Em: He is ostensibly nearsighted, so much that he needs his glasses. The heroines end up exploiting this to eventually defeat him.
- {{Domingo tries using the same tactic against him during their subsequent fights from Blue Rainbow, and then subverted hard. Weissdrache, having learned of this weakness, deliberately enters battle using contact lens - and wears fake eyeglasses to boot.}}

- Cloning Blues
- Dangerously Genre Savvy

- Replacement Goldfish: He is this to the original Stephan Bleumer.

- [spoiler:Super Empowering: The effect of having Nene voluntarily possess him.]]
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: He constantly desired the approval of his father, who only sees him as a trophy. After learning about his being a clone of the original, he calls him out... with a plasma beam to the head.

Akane Orikasa
A seemingly ordinary bank teller who both Solty-Tech Industries and the R.R.F. have taken an interest to.

- Everyhings Better With Sparkles: Her spells have starlight motifs. Do the math.
