My-Otome 0~S.ifr~ - TV Tropes (2024)

Lena Sayers

GEM: Lofty Crimson Jade, Blue Sky Sapphire

Master: Bruce Blanc de Windbloom, Sifr Fran

Lena is the original holder of the Blue Sky Sapphire and Arika's mother, who was believed to have died shortly after an attack on Fuuka Castle 14 years before the events of My-Otome. One of the main characters of My-Otome 0~S.ifr~, though not the titular character...

• The Ace - Her latent abilities are so overwhelming that she regularly overloads and completely destroys Gems she has equipped.
• Ancestral Weapon: She receives the Blue Sky Sapphire from her mother and eventually passes it on to her daughter Arika.
• Babies Ever After - Considered an icon of Otome legend because she lived a full life as an Otome before retiring to get married and have babies. Didn't stop her from being a badass, though.
• Barehanded Blade Block: She blocks Ray and Kyoko's attacks with one hand each, and is able to deflect Uma's Whip Sword with a kick
• Beware the Nice Ones - She can and will curbstomp you into kingdom come if she needs to.
• Brought Down to Normal - Before the first episode even, which is why the attack on Windbloom Castle could be carried out.
• Cursed with Awesome: Afraid of her inherent power.
• Doppleganger Spin - Her favorite method of attack.
• Even the Girls Want Her - Elliot has a very not subtle crush on her.
• Expy: Of Rena Yuuki from Future GPX Cyber Formula: The New Challenger.
• Final First Hug - With Arika, when she destroys Schwartz's Founder tank.
• Finger-Twitching Revival - After passing out after defeating M9, comes to around the time Sifr declares she wants to live.
• Folk Hero - Noted to be particularly famous as far as Otome go.
• Full-Potential Upgrade: The Robe she was using before obtaining Blue Sky Sapphire couldn't withstand her power and was breaking up durning the fight more because of that than enemy attacks.
• Generation Xerox - Inverted and reversed. Lena is more like Sifr's daughter, Nina.
• Heroic Sacrifice:
  • Went down protecting the princess during the attack on Windbloom fourteen~fifteen years before the series proper.
  • In the manga, she sacrifices herself to become the new Founder system.
• I Just Want to Be Normal - So terrified of her absurdly excessive power that she remains indecisive about whether to accept an appointment as a Meister.
• Lightning Bruiser: She's fast and strong without her Robe.
• Naked First Impression - Shirow finds her naked in a crater in the desert.
• New Powers as the Plot Demands - Notable in that she gets a series of level ups crammed into three episodes.
• Power Gives You Wings: When using Artemis.
• Readings Are Off the Scale - Lena's power level is OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni - Blue to Sifr's red.
• Scary Shiny Glasses: When Sifr not only goes outside her room but falls off a balcony rescuing a cat, forcing Lena to save her and resulting in a Schwarz member seeing them.
• Spell My Name With An S - Lena or Rena? Her GEM, however, indicates her initials are "L.S."
• Tomboy and Girly Girl - Sifr's the tomboy, Lena's the girly-girl.

Sifr Fran

• Disappeared Dad - Her dad left her mother before Sifr was born.
• Generation Xerox - Inverted and reversed. Sifr is more like Lena's daughter, Arika.
• Kissing Cousins: It's speculated she eventually marries Bruce, her cousin.
• Missing Mom - Recently made an orphan.
• "No More Holding Back" Speech: When Una states her intentions and reasons for wanting to kill her, she says that as her mother was proud to have had her as a child, and everyone is trying to save her, she wants to live.
• Parental Abandonment: Her mother is dead, and her father, Bruce's uncle and the king's brother died relatively recently.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni - Red to Lena's blue.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl - Sifr's the tomboy, Lena's the girly-girl.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Gives one to Bruce and the others for keeping secrets from her.
• Yuri Fan - very curious about about the rumours surrounding what happens between students at Garderobe and judging by the credits of episode three enjoys setting up situations so she can watch Eliot try and seduce Lena.

Lena's master and the prince of Windbloom.
