• Adaptational Curves:
  • In the web novels, Suguha was originally meant to have a smaller bust size and Kawahara didn't carp changing it. His editor suggested him to brand her stacked in other adaptations.
  • Some of the game adaptations such every bit Millennium Twilight and Fatal Bullet has her bust even more bursting in size. The story wastes no time in having other characters poke fun of this.
• Adaptational Early Appearance:
  • The video game continuity has her announced in SAO during the adaptation of the Aincrad arc, while in catechism she doesn't debut until the Fairy Dance arc of ALO. Storywise, this is because Suguha intentionally used a NerveGear to enter SAO and so she could exist with and help out her brother.
  • She shows upwardly fifty-fifty earlier in Integral Factor, where she appears on Floor 3 as opposed to afterward Floor 76 in Infinity Moment/Hollow Fragment. But otherwise her plot of entering SAO using her ALO account to observe her brother is pretty much the same.
• Advertised Extra: In Ordinal Calibration she's given the same level of promotion equally the rest of the major characters, merely she was sidelined for most of the film due to attending a kendo grooming army camp. This is likely due to OS occurring in the real world and given that Suguha is a top-4 national-level kendo practitioner, she was taken out of the spotlight to balance out the story.

• Bare Your Midriff: Her Hollow Realization outfit shows off her belly.
• Big Blood brother Allure: Went through this in Fairy Dance arc as she started having feelings for Kazuto, though technically they're Non Blood Siblings and actually cousins.

• Big Damn Heroes: Her rescue of Lilpilin from Dee Eye Ell, so her and Lilpilin'southward rescue of Scheta and the Pugilists from the American Players.
• Big Eater: Kirito ofttimes brings up her excessive appetite, especially for sweets. Luckily for her, the concrete lifestyle she indulges in keeps her from gaining weight.
• Big Lilliputian Sister: Her ALO avatar looks a peachy deal older and taller than real life, making it harder to tell she's younger than Kirito. Just she often times yet behaves like a young kid would despite having a physically developed body.
• Blest with Suck: She describes Terraria'southward infinitely regenerating HP as more of a curse than a divine blessing since dissimilar other players who merely die after suffering plenty injury, Leafa has to live through every single cut and stab she suffers without a Pain Absorber to minimize the pain. That beingness said, she manages to power through with sheer determination.
• Accident You Away: Every bit a Sylph, she specializes in Wind magic.
• Boobs of Steel: Has the largest ◊ bosom ◊ of all the girls, and in existent-life is the most physically fit, being a kendo national quarterfinalist, while in ALO she'southward regarded every bit i of the 5 Bully Sylphs.

• Boyish Short Hair: Has her hair in a short bob IRL and is a sports-loving tomboy. As Leafa she has a Tomboyish Ponytail instead.
• Brought Down to Badass: In real life. She has no gear, Sword Arts, or magic, but Suguha is however more athletic than Kirito and his friends, having trained in kendo since childhood and being a national-level quarterfinalist. In Ordinal Calibration, which takes place IRL using augmented reality, Suguha dominates the scene.
• Brother–Sister Incest: Technically, they're cousins, but because Kirito'southward parents died, Suguha became his adoptive sister, who merely so happens to proceeds an attraction to her big "brother". Finding out that she wasn't his real sister is what caused Kirito to altitude himself from her. She calls him out on this later.
• Barrel-Monkey: Is this in the Girl's Ops spin-off manga. While she's unremarkably victim to the aforementioned things that happen to the rest of the girls, she often either gets the brunt of it or is the sole victim of other embarrassing scenarios. She'due south arguably gets the most revealing Habiliment Damage out of the girls during the first arc, gets accused of being a pervert by the others when she tries investigating Lux's disappeared tattoo, forced to participate in a swimsuit contest, suffers a Wardrobe Malfunction because of Liz, forced to practice something embarrassing offscreen by Liz, gets her clothes shredded again after falling for a razor wire trap, used past the other girls to check for like traps since her wearing apparel are already damaged, and existence forced to strip so Silica tin can repair her clothes. She's also the victim of a Running Gag where the other three girls, being SAO Survivors, hash out things that took place in the Death Game such as quests and people they met, making her feel left out.
• Telephone call of the Wild Blueish Yonder:
  • 1 of Leafa's defining characteristics is her love of flying through the air as a Sylph. She tried ALO to experience this magical phenomena and in one case she had she couldn't be without it.
  • In Fatal Bullet, this actually hinders her enjoyment of GGO compared to her friends, since there were no ways to simulate flying.
• Casting Gag: This is the 2nd time Ayana Taketatsu plays a trivial sister who has a strained human relationship with her brother.
• Chekhov's Gunman: Kirito mentions her in passing at the very commencement of the series when telling Klein nigh his family unit, and a bit more when telling Silica about how she reminds him of his sister. In the anime, she appears leaving for kendo exercise in the beginning episode before her brother logs into SAO.
• Clingy Jealous Daughter: Gets a chip jealous in Season ane Episode twenty when Sakuya and Alicia, the leaders of the Sylph and Cait-Sith races, get a bit too friendly with Kirito subsequently he saves them from an ambush.
• Closet Geek: She has a lot of involvement in Mythology and Folk tales, which tin can prove useful in the quests in ALO since they're ofttimes based on these.
• Habiliment Damage:
  • She's been the victim of this twice in Girls' Ops. In the first arc, she and the other girls are victims of a slime that lowers equipment durability, creating a lot of revealing holes and there beingness enough damage to cost 1,000,000 yrld to repair. Happens over again in a later on arc when she falls for a razor wire trap due to rushing ahead of the others.
  • Happens in Accel World vs. Sword Art Online, where during a quest to go honey, Leafa gets to shut to a dominate with a special assault that destroys armor, she has a difficult time roofing up in front of Kirito.
• Color Motif: Virtually always associated with and dresses in the color light-green, which is plumbing fixtures because she'southward a Sylph. Fifty-fifty in Ordinal Calibration her outfit has a green trim while she's given a light-green Color Wash, while in Fatal Bullet her outfit is predominantly light-green. Her Leafa avatar also has emerald dark-green optics while in real life her eyes have a greenish tint.
• Contrasting Sequel Protagonist:
  • To Asuna. Asuna started off as a complete stranger to Kirito and gradually got to know him. Suguha is Kazuto'due south real life adoptive sister and probably the closest person in his life. Asuna is elegant and ladylike due to her upper-class upbringing, while Suguha is a tomboy who partakes in kendo. Asuna is revealed to be older than Kirito by a year, while Suguha is younger by a year. Asuna's story arc had her not wishing to pursue a relationship with Kirito at starting time before getting together with him, while Suguha had the opposite journey whereby she had feelings for Kirito but forcibly pushes herself away.
  • Furthermore, she contrasts all the other Arc Heroes in that she never develops a personal relationship with the Big Bad of her master arc, Sugou Noboyuki, or for that matter even met him. Instead information technology is Asuna who gets tied to him, while Leafa deals with the secondary antagonists being the Player Killing Salamanders of ALO.
• Crystal Dragon Jesus: Ends up becoming this to the Orcs as "The Green Swordswoman" after her part in War, with Lilpilin proclaiming her their Goddess and Messiah and with them trying to build a statue tall enough that all of the Nighttime Territory can run across it.

• D-Loving cup Distress: Poor daughter is on the receiving end of a lot of jokes over her enormous bosom, especially in the game adaptation.
• Deuteragonist: She is the female lead in the Fairy Trip the light fantastic arc and merely equally of import to the story as Kirito.
• Depending on the Author:
  • The size of her bust is extremely inconsistent depending on the media, and sometimes even in the aforementioned media, as her bust seems to have shrunk in Alicization anime, simply to regain it'south size after.
  • This besides applies to her sword. It's full general pattern and her Kendo experience would advise information technology's a Katana, but the gameverse tends to categories information technology equally either a 1-Handed Sword or a Ane-Handed Curved Sword. Information technology'southward only in Unital Band that we get a clear cut answer (encounter Swiss Army Weapon beneath).
• Determinator: Despite the lack of a pain absorber causing her to feel every injury inflicted on her, including getting multiple spears in the dorsum and one in her center, with the Terraria Avatar'due south Healing Gene preventing her from dying and prolonging her suffering, Leafa's still able to power through and singlehandedly fight off and kill all the remaining American players, just stopping once they're all dead.
• Dramatic Irony: For the first half of the Fairy Dance arc, we know that Leafa is Suguha and Kirito is Kazuto. However, Suguha doesn't know that Kirito is Kazuto, and Kazuto doesn't know that Leafa is Suguha.
• Dude Magnet: Exploited. She'southward noted to be extremely pop among the Sylphs due to her cheerful personality and good looks, something noted by Recon, one of her shut admirers. This gets Exploited by Sigurd after he loses to her in the Swilvane Fighting Tournament, with him inviting her to join his personal party in hopes that her popularity among the Sylphs would net him a bit more than prestige.
• Early on-Bird Cameo: In the anime, she'south shown going off to kendo practice, and on the news, sobbing every bit she realizes Kazuto is trapped in the game.
• Establishing Character Moment:
  • In Hollow Fragment, she enters SAO and turns to see Kirito and Asuna approaching. She excitedly greets him as "Onii-chan" much to Kirito's confusion.
  • Integral Factor has her making her debut by falling from a tree which she had climbed in an try to notice her brother.
• Eye Scream: Gruesomely gets her left center skewered in State of war of Underworld. Fortunately, she has infinitely regenerating health, only without a hurting cushion, you tin can bet that it hurts!

    F-J

• Famed in Story: Considering of her speed and skill she is i of the Five Groovy Sylphs and more often than not treated like a glory.
• Foil: To Asuna, in particular the arc well-nigh her relationship with Kirito. Asuna was at outset turned off past Kirito and slowly developed feelings for him over time and felt happy for the first fourth dimension in her life. Suguha had held feelings for Kazuto for quite some time just forced herself to repress these every bit she believed they were wrong. Likewise while Kirito developed feelings for Asuna mutually, he was completely unaware of Suguha's feelings for him. Ultimately what kept Asuna going throughout SAO was her love for Kirito, while Suguha's story is virtually moving past her attraction towards Kirito and assist him as his little sis.
• "Freaky Friday" Flip: In Hollow Realization she somehow swaps avatars with Lisbeth and quite enjoys beingness the Blacksmith, only clumsiness ensues when she runs into Kirito who never figures out what is up with the OOC Liz, despite 'Lisbeth' calling him "Onii-chan", referring to herself in the third person, and asking very personal questions about Leafa.
• Freaky Is Cool: She is rather fond of creatures that other people recall are "creepy" or "weird." Notably, she finds Tonki, a creature that is a cross between an elephant and a jellyfish, ambrosial.
• Gag Boobs: Leafa is the go-to graphic symbol for all of the boob-related jokes thanks to her enormous bosom. These range from other girls showing jealousy over how endowed she is, Liz groping her, her boobs jiggling, or having her bosom press against someone else which is normally Kirito. During Ordinal Calibration, every bit Leafa arrives at the Concluding Dominate, Yui was really hiding in her cleavage.
• Genki Girl: Downplayed. When she isn't too deep in idea or uncomfortable, she's generally the most upbeat person in any group she'southward in and usually the most excitable while also existence rather grounded and rational when need be.
• Genre Savvy: The video games reveal Leafa is actually fairly well versed in mythology, which is quite helpful in ALO which is a game heavily derived from mythology from various cultures.
• Girls Beloved Blimp Animals: She has cute animal bean numberless in her room.
• Skilful Affair Yous Tin can Heal: Every bit Terraria she has infinitely-regenerating life which basically makes her immortal and able to regenerate from whatsoever wound. Good thing, because she gets stabbed through the eye at i indicate.

• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: As Leafa, her avatar is blonde and remains kind hearted.

• He Is Not My Fellow: Is insistent about this for Recon when Kirito asks about them. Turns out Recon had a huge beat on her that she wasn't aware of.
• Heroes Prefer Swords: Like her blood brother, her preferred weapon is a sword, likely so she tin can make employ her IRL Kendo experience. Even so, at least in ALO, there seems to be some confusion about whether her signature sword is katana due to it'due south design, or if it's classified as some manner of One-Handed Sword, something the game adaptations don't help in clarifying.
  • In Ordinal Scale and every bit Terraria in the Underworld, she'south shown to nevertheless be rather capable wielding a double-edged sword similar the ones her brother uses.
• Hero of Another Story: Had her ain adventures in ALO earlier Kirito joined the game.
• Heroic BSoD: She doesn't have very well to the news that both the cousin/blood brother she was trying to forget and the Spriggan she came to love are the same person. She spends the cease of Season one Episode 22 crying unto herself in her room.
• Hypocrite: Believes herself to be this during Fairy Trip the light fantastic, prompting Kazuto to not give up on Asuna despite her Bundled Marriage while she believes she should give up on her own feelings for him.
• I Do Not Similar Green Eggs and Ham: She used to hate VRMMO games, particularly when her blood brother became trapped in one. She and so gave ALfheim Online a try and discovered that she actually enjoyed it.
• I But Want to Be Free: She plays Alfheim Online because she loves the freedom to fly where-ever she wants. In the calorie-free novel, she referred to her Sylph duties and party responsibilities as "chains fastened to her wings". This is why she had just minor hesitation in becoming a renegade.
• I Know Mortal Kombat: Unlike Kazuto, she is an inversion of this trope. Her years of studying kendo give her a tremendous edge over other players.
• Informed Ability: Downplayed. She's cited as one of the 5 Neat Sylphs, in part due to her Master Swordswoman status as a result of her IRL Kendo grooming and her amazing speed as a flier, which is fast plenty that just Kirito with his old SAO stats could proceed pace with her. Nevertheless, throughout Fairy Dance, she doesn't become many opportunities to prove this, with Kirito regulating her to a healing role during their fights against the Salamanders sent by Sigurd and during the raid on the Earth Tree. And while she does get into a duel with Kirito, it'due south... well, Kirito and information technology's ultimately revealed that she was holding dorsum and was gonna throw the fight anyway. And while she does get to kicking all sorts of donkey later every bit Terraria, it should be noted that she logged in equally a Physical God with a powerful Healing Gene and lacked her power of Flight, meaning it's likely not a good indicator.
• I Regret Cypher: Different Kirito, Sinon and perhaps Asuna, all three of which have pretty astringent trauma from their experiences, Leafa is shown to be remarkably well-adjusted after killing Dee Eye Ell, despite her previous vow to not harm any of the Artificial Fluctlights. Justified since she did largely did it to defend herself and Lilpilin from, as she put it, "pure evil", and Rising Steel shows that Lilpilin explained to Leafa what Dee Heart Ell did to his people before she showed up, lessening the blow of guilt she may have otherwise felt.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Falls in honey with Kazuto, but after seeing him with Asuna, she moves on to Kirito, only to discover that it's her brother/cousin all along.
• Iconic Sequel Grapheme: Doesn't appear until the second arc, despite being a female pb.
• Image Song: She has a total of 4. "Face To You" (Suguha), "Sky The Graffiti" (Leafa), "Sing All Overtures" (which is sung past Kirito, Asuna, Yui, Silica, Lisbeth and herself), "Memorial Calibur" (which is sung by Silica, Yui, Lisbeth and herself).

    K-O

• Katanas Are Just Amend: Her preferred weapon. Justified every bit she practices kendo in existent life, and is very skillful (national-level eye school quarter-finalist).
• Kissing Cousins: Deep down, she wants this with Kazuto, existence in dear with him. Even so, she as well knows this is wrong, he would never get for it, and she can't tell anyone considering of the very probable backlash, since they're also adoptive siblings. And then she tries to become over him by loving Kirito, not knowing they're the same guy...
• Leeroy Jenkins:
  • Substantially her plan to bargain with Vecta. Since her Terraria Avatar has a Healing Gene that makes her effectively immortal, Leafa'south best plan was to have Lilpilin, who she happened to spawn in front of, capture her and have her to Vecta so she can attack and kill him, betting that her immortality would be constructive enough for her to withstand his attacks and deal a fatal blow.
  • This proves to be a bad habit of hers in Girls' Ops.
    • During the fight with the monsters from Garnet'south quest, she's quick to accuse at one of them to assault, only to get electrocuted past it and stunned, giving the boss an opening to stomp on her.
    • A more than embarrassing example occurs when the girls, with the help of Adie, tries breaking into Elves and Shoemakers through a secret sewer dungeon. Upon coming to a spiral staircase with a wide open space in the center with an open ceiling, which would allow Flight, Leafa's quick to bound alee and try flight to the top instead of taking the stairs before Adie can warn her. As a effect, she falls for a razor wire that damages her sword and utterly shreds her clothes.
• Leitmotif: Aeriform Fight, a remix of Swordland with a fast-paced theme giving the sense of soaring through the heaven.
• Letting Her Hair Down: 1 event in Hollow Fragment has Leafa undoing her ponytail and letting her pilus hang down. Kirito is taken past surprise on how dissimilar she looks and thinks it looks beautiful.
• Lite Is Good: As the Earth Goddess Terraria in the Underworld, having logged in to relieve her brother along with Asuna and Sinon and to help protect the Artificial Fluctlights residing there.
• Lightning Bruiser: Having years of experience in kendo have made her both stiff IRL and in-game. Besides happens to exist the fastest flying player in ALO.
• Footling Sister Heroine: Technically younger-by-a-year cousin, just Kirito'south relationship with Suguha is like this because they were raised together by her parents since he was a year onetime, along with Suguha showing Large Brother Attraction towards Kirito.

In addition, "suguha" is one type of hamon blueprint constitute on katana ^annotation Specifically, suguha-way hamon patterns are very straight and bully, as opposed to the more curvy and jagged patterns of choji-fashion, notare-manner, et al., fitting for a swordswoman whose skills are on par with Kirito's.
• More Dakka: Uses a FAMAS G2 assail burglarize equally her long gun in Fatal Bullet, which (true to its existent-life counterpart) has one of the highest rates of burn of any attack rifle or fifty-fifty lite-automobile gun in the game.
• Ms. Fanservice: The animated adaptation regularly puts both her real life and in-game counterpart in situations that would emphasize ◊ her ◊ ample ◊ breasts ◊, not to mention the former being the commencement female character to be shown fully nude in a Shower of Angst (with the nether regions lone covered by Conscience Steam).
  • In side content such as the games, she oft has scenes heavy with Fanservice.

Namely, she often poked fun at Kirito and his "useless Spriggan magic" during their journey to the Globe Tree, such as when she gave a Backhanded Compliment when he used a spell to give them both night vision. She largely seems to have grown out of this nonetheless.

• Reluctant Fanservice Girl:

• Shipper on Deck: Accel World vs. Sword Art Online has Leafa/Suguha pondering how her time to come would plough out, where it is revealed that she is really enthusiastic well-nigh having Asuna become married to her brother for real, which would allow her to gain an elder sister of sorts. This throughly embarrasses Asuna and Kirito, although Asuna later remarks that she has always wanted a picayune sister and marriage would allow Leafa/Suguha to fill that role perfectly. Kirito watches the whole thing and starts wondering if he is only a means to an cease.

Withal, typos in the anime occasionally write information technology out equally "Leefa" and fan translations of the novels used "Lyfa". A literal reading of the kana used in the novels would requite yous "Rifa".
• Stepford Smiler: Tries to be this when she meets Recon at Alne after learning that Kirito and Kazuto are the same person. She tries to keep him from worrying by putting on a grinning and insist that they get back to Swilvane. He can immediately tell something's incorrect though.
• Story-Billow Power: Zig-Zagged. Suguha was side-lined for most of Ordinal Scale since she's a pinnacle-four national-level kendo practitioner within her age group. Equally a result, she would take had a meaning reward over her incompletely-trained blood brother Kirito and his friends against the reincarnated monsters of Aincrad, significantly shortening the story; thought it is debatable how well she would accept fared confronting Eiji, as her style Kendo is a sport with rules that indoctrinates its practitioners to refrain from maliciously harming your opponent past habit, whereas the martial art that Eiji used to maim, cripple and hospitalize Klein and his friends is clearly a battleground-style designed to impale; and coupled with the physical enhancement of the armed services-class exosuit provided by Doctor Shigemura, Eiji would but have easily hospitalized Suguha if she (unlike Kirito and Klein, has never actually taken a life) tried to fight him face to face.
• Strong and Skilled: In an unusual instance for this series, she's actually this in the real world, being a national-level kendo practitioner who is physically stronger than her gamer friends. In Ordinal Scale which takes identify in the real earth and the characters need to use their physical bodies, Leafa/Suguha is the ane who dominates due to her physical training on height of her gamer experience.
• Super Senses: Sylphs take the best hearing in all the fairy families, significant Leafa can hear something before any of her friends tin can.
• Super Speed: Sylphs are naturally fast and she'southward faster than the standard Sylph. Before Kirito came along with his illegal New Game+ stats, no one could keep up with her maximum speed.
• Super Drowning Skills: Despite Suguha being incredible athletic and fit, she can't swim if her life depended on it. Even shallow water can accept her spluttering. Retentiveness Defrag reveals that this may be ingrained with a traumatic childhood incident where Suguha fell into the backyard pond and almost drowned, before Kazuto rescued her.
• Supporting Protagonist: The 3rd light novel volume is partly written from her perspective, albeit in a limited third person focused on her (every bit opposed to Kirito and Lisbeth's first person segments). She provides her thoughts while helping Kirito on his rescue mission.
• Swiss Regular army Weapon: In Unital Ring, nosotros learn that her sword, Lysavindr, is categorised as a Long Katana/Bounder Sword, a category of sword that allows her to use One-Handed Sword Skills when held in one manus and Two-Handed Sword Skills when held in both easily. While useful, this comes at the expense of being heavier than a One-Handed Sword, which tin can make using information technology one-handed difficult, withal less powerful than a Two-Handed One, though Leafa manages since it feels the most familiar to her as a Kendoka.
• They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!: When they're at school, she demands that Shinichi call her "Kirigaya-san" rather than her commencement name or her Online Allonym.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Has this dynamic with her friend (and predecessor as female pb) Asuna, being the sport-loving tomboy to Asuna'due south elegant lady-like Girly Girl.
• Tomboyish Ponytail: She has her long blonde pilus in a ponytail equally Leafa, and is a sports-loving tomboy IRL.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Has the personality of a tomboy, enjoys sports, but she's delicate in some ways and has cute knick-knacks involving a kitty backpack.
• Tomato in the Mirror: Afterwards Leafa agrees to party with Kirito to the World Tree, nosotros get to see her log out from her perspective. Cutting to Suguha wearing an Amusphere.
• Tsundere: Probably the virtually tsun out of the entire cast, being quick to acrimony and violently aggressive. She starts off equally "Tsuntsun" type simply gradually switches to "Dere" over the course of the series. Kirito noticed she tin switch out from aroused to sweet in mere moments, especially prominent with Recon who she'due south more than happy to attack if he acts too weird.

    U-Z

• Uncanny Family Resemblance:
  • Growing up, Suguha and Kazuto looked and so alike each other that other people would mistake them for sisters (not siblings, sisters).
  • Averted when it comes to Leafa. Due to her avatar being and then different to her real life appearance, others have a difficult fourth dimension believing she's Kirito'southward sister.
• Victoria'south Secret Compartment: In Ordinal Calibration, Yui emerges from her cleavage during the Final Dominate fight.
• Wardrobe Malfunction: In materials such as games and side-stories, Leafa is a frequent victim of this in large part due to her big breasts.
  • In Girls' Ops Volume 2, she'south lament nigh the swimsuit she was forced into by Liz for the swimsuit contest. The daughter in question attempts ane of her normal Skinship Gropes to tease her only to accidentally elevator 1 of the pinnacle's pads in front of a bunch of in-game beach goers.
  • In Hollow Realization she, Kirito and Philia run to a cliff to escape a large group of boar monsters and she nigh falls off, only to be saved by Philia grabbing her by the collar. This even so raises her pinnacle and almost exposes her breasts. The game even shamelessly gives the player a good eyeful of her underboobs.
  • In the 2nd function of Kirito'southward Gun Gale Online Wars, she ends up ensnared in a ribbon trap meant for Kirito which serves to put emphasis on her breasts when Yui tries getting them off. When Kirito goes to help her afterwards beating both Sinon and Asuna, he lifts the ribbon and in plough accidentally lifts her peak and exposing her rack.
• Weak, only Skilled: Stat-wise she's beneath average because she spends fiddling time grinding, farming etc. but this doesn't matter in Alfheim Online. It'southward primarily skill-based so she becomes one of the most powerful Sylphs on dent of her existent world skill that translates into game skill. This puts her at a disadvantage against Sigurd in terms of stats and gear and their duels ever turn into a protracted game of wearing each other downward. She defeated him pre-series.
  • She's able to display the Skilled office in Unital Ring. When helping gather wooden planks to repair the cottage, she cuts downward a tree and proceeds to utilize a series of Two-Handed Sword Skills, which are hinted to be Powerful, but Inaccurate, to precisely cutting the downed tree into up seven planks, earning her the praise of Asuna and Alice.
• Womanchild: Every bit Leafa she looks mature and fully developed, merely she still tends to behave childishly like a little girl would.
• Yous Are Worth Hell: In Infinity Moment/Hollow Fragment, she obtained her ain NerveGear and logged into SAO, knowing fell well that she like all players volition trapped within the game and can dice for real, just so she can be reunited with her brother.
