Barrier Warrior
(Buffs and barriers a bit in game, abused in the anime)
Blade On A Stick

Boobs of Steel (Sort of averted in game battle system, though when she's not serving as healer, she's still pretty monstrous with her spells-- on par with Jade sometimes in damage output. Straighter in cutscenes, dramas and the anime)
Broken Pedestal (Both Van and Legretta to Tear)
Cain and Abel (Tear and Van)
Calling Your Attacks (All Tales, though Abyss at least gives an explanation for it)
Cannot Spit It Out (Not until end-game at least)
Capulet Counterpart (Sorta fits this, as she starts off as an enemy-- trying to kill Luke's master, and well, his father is responsible for pretty much her entire family's death-- but is forced to join up with Luke early on due to circumstances)
Church Militant (For being "a religion of peace", the Order of Lorelei has quite the military force there)
Combat Medic (Her or Natalia, depending on the kind of healing you prefer)
Cuteness Proximity (Abused to hell in the anime)
Cutscene Power To The Max (Despite being technically the weakest party member-- physical defense at least-- and a long/mid-range caster in the battle system, she shows awesome front-line combat proficiency in cutscenes, audio dramas and the anime)
Deadpan Snarker (Not as bad as Jade, but she has her moments)
Defrosting Ice Queen (Undub mostly sob. Poor acting in the localization made her seem cold all the time)
Doomed Hometown(Inverted; it's not the hero Luke's home, but rather Van and Tear's and that's one of Van's motivations for his well-intentioned extremism)
Exposed To The Elements (Played on repeatedly in skits. Even Jade isn't safe)
Famous Ancestor
Feminine Women Can Cook (Kind of subverted; Tear's arguably the least feminine girl in the party, yet the second best cook of the group-- whereas the much more ladylike Natalia tries to heal a burning soup and repeatedly burns her dishes beyond recognition. Played straight with Anise, who is both girlish and the best cook)
Gag Boobs (At least two skits and a battle-ender poke fun at her melons)
Good Looking Privates (Actually, a lot of the military is hot in Abyss)
Hey, It's That Voice! (Yukana so C.C and Kan'na to name a few)
I Will Wait For You (Only after lots of defrosting)
Kuudere
Limited Wardrobe (Luke mentions this in a skit)
Magic Music (Her strongest artes and hax are her Hymns)
Meaningful Name (Van wasn't the only one who got one that basically revealed his identity-- Mystearica = gift from the gods/ goddess, princess; Aura = pray)
Ms Fanservice (She kind of subverts it; despite having the most impressive figure, her uniform and title costumes are the most modest of the female cast)
Peek A Bangs (Hits three of the symbols)
Player Punch (Learning that the miasma is going to kill her ;;)
Staff Chick (Somewhat of a subversion; she fulfills this role in almost every way save for her personality and her ability to front-line)
Stocking Filler
(Multi-purpose garters hold hidden knives as well as stockings /o/)
Tall Dark and Bishoujo
Thanks For The Mammary (Yeah thanks Guy)
Voice Of The Legion (When Lorelei possesses her so it can communicate with the party)
Younger Than They Look (She's only sixteen, to the disbelief of some in-game and fans alike)
Youngest Child Wins (Van's only defeated because Tear made him vulnerable with her Hymn)

meme, what is this, random
