Platinum the Trinity

Platinum the Trinity first appears in the story-mode of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift. She is a girl who has three souls, including the spirit of one of the Six Heroes.

Information
A young girl with three souls named Luna, Sena, and Trinity. Luna is a rude young girl; Sena is a polite young boy; and Trinity is the spirit of one of the Six Heroes. Trinity's personality is locked within her Nox Nyctores, and she is only able to come to the surface for brief periods of time. This Nox Nyctores' full name is Arma Reboare: Muchōrin, a bell which has the power to incarnate matter. Platinum normally prefers to avoid violence and lives in the ruins of 5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido, but came to 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi by request of Jubei in order to awaken Bang's Nox Nyctores named Phoenix: Rettenjō. Platinum is seen watching over Ragna, who is with Jubei all the time. Luna is very fond of Jubei, but harbors a deep hatred towards Ragna, most likely due to his connection with Jubei. She also appeared before Bang Shishigami, telling him about the Nox Nyctores that he possesses.

Material Collection Information

 * Hobbies: Othello
 * Likes: Mr. Jubei
 * Dislikes: Snakes, that guy who always hangs around Mr. Jubei

Appearance
Platinum is directly taken from the Magical Girl (魔法少女, mahō shōjo) archetype. She appears as a very young girl in a sleeveless white shirt with buttons and blue lining. The outfit is completed by a blue skirt. She wears a pair of white gloves with large cuffs and a pair of similar colored shoes with heart-shaped toeguards. Her hair is an orange-blond, length-wise, reaching her ankles and tied up in two long ponytails. She wears a light green headband and a big ribbon tied to her four pigtails. Her eyes are green with distinct brighter heart-shaped pupils. While wearing her cloak, her eyes are overshadowed, showing only her mouth, and she carries her weapon covered with belts and a black bag. Her cloak covers her whole body, and is a cream color. In Continuum Shift's story, she appears in her cloaked form, but even then rarely appears. She even appears to have a 'cowbell' around her neck in both her normal outfit and cloak.

Personality
Platinum has three split personalities: The first is Luna, who is a rude girl with a stubborn attitude that hates Ragna, but admires Jubei. The second is Sena, who is polite, understanding, and sometimes curious boy who tries to calm Luna down whenever she encounters Ragna. And lastly, Trinity, one of the Six Heroes, but she barely has time to control Platinum's body, which is almost similar to her own body.

Powers and Abilities
Having one of the Six Heroes assisting her, Platinum possesses exceptional skill and power on magical attacks. Her Jeckyll and Hyde personality is somehow derived from the three souls she has due to her Nox Nyctores. She also uses her staff as a melee weapon when attacking close range enemies. Platinum's Drive, Magical Symphony focuses on incarnating things and changing the appearance of her staff using her Nox Nyctores.

Trivia

 * Platinum has four possible Guilty Gear counterparts; one in manner of appearance, one in manner of attacks, two in manner of concept. One is May, as both are young, small girls who can wield huge weapons. Second would be Dizzy, as both are young girls (though Dizzy's body matured VERY quickly) who have split personalities (Platinum having Luna, Sena, and the spirit of Trinity inside of her, and Dizzy having her two wings, Necro and Undine). Third is Faust, as both possess attacks that sometimes break the 4th wall, and her fourth is Bridget, although in a reverse sense; Bridget is a boy who was raised as a girl, and Platinum has the body of a girl, but one male soul inside of her. In addition, in Platinum's unlimited mode, she has a Distortion Drive called "Lyrical Maintenance", a reference to Bridget's Tragedy Maintenance. Platinum also shares a similar colour palatte to Bridget's. Due to the similarities between Bridget and Platinum, Bridget is almost certainly Platinum's intended counterpart.
 * Some players actually thought that her name was "Platina" at first because of the kana of her name (プラチナ, Purachina).
 * Platinum's original form looks similiar to Phillia Felice from Tales of Destiny.
 * Platinum is the only DLC whose abilities were not shown in a story mode in Continuum Shift, mostly due to her spirit being sealed inside her Nox Nyctores.
 * Trinity is the only playable member of the Six Heroes that is able to sprint instead of using a "Hop-Dash".
 * Platinum's Astral Heat resembles the attack Starlight Breaker used by Nanoha Takamachi in "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha". Her staff even takes on a somewhat more of a "mechanical" appearance during her Astral Heat, similar to Nanoha's staff. In addition, she is the only DLC whose Astral Heat does not involve the Moon in any way. However, "Luna" is the spanish word for Moon.
 * Platinum's Astral Heat also somewhat resembles the attack Master Spark, Marisa Kirisame's signature attack from "Touhou Project".
 * Platinum's design shares many similarities with the magical girl archetype seen in anime. In fact, some of her alternate color palettes and special moves share some certain references to other magical girls in some anime series.
 * Some of the girls referenced in Platinum's special moves include:
 * Persia from Persia, the Magic Fairy
 * Sally from Sally the Witch
 * Usagi/Serena Tsukino from Sailor Moon
 * Creamy Mami from Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel
 * Minky Momo from Magical Princess Minky Momo
 * Sasami Kawai/Pretty Sammy from Magical Girl Pretty Sammy
 * My Melody from Onegai My Melody
 * Maron Kusakabe/Kaito Jeanne from Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne
 * Misumi Nagisa/Cure Black and Yukishiro Honoka/Cure White from Futari Wa Pretty Cure
 * Nanoha Takamachi from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
 * Some of the girls referenced in Platinum's alternate color palettes include:
 * Rena Ryugu from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
 * Yumehara Nozomi/Cure Dream from Yes! PreCure 5
 * Tsubomi Hanasaki/Cure Blossom, Kurumi Erika/Cure Marine and Myoudouin Itsuki/Cure Sunshine from HeartCatch PreCure!
 * Hatsune Miku from the Vocaloid synthesizers
 * SeeU from the Vocaloid synthesizers
 * Mato Kuroi from Black Rock Shooter
 * Nanoha Takamachi from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
 * Purple Heart from Hyperdimension Neptunia
 * Rachel Alucard is even copied.
 * Nia Tepplin from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
 * Bridget from the Guilty Gear series
 * Dokuro-chan from Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan
 * Platinum's birthday is apperently "Japan Day", a holiday celebrated in New York. December 13 is "Acadian Rememberance Day". Wikipedia lists both holidays, however, as "Christan Feast Day". The latter makes more sense as the Trinity in Platinum could be a reference to the Holy Trinity (The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit).
 * Just like a traditional magical girl, Platinum yells out the name of her special moves.
 * Judging by one of Hazama's quotes when fighting Trinity, it's clear that he (as Terumi) had a direct but undefined role in the events that lead up to her being trapped in a body with two other souls.
 * Platinum's Unlimited Mode puts all of her Magical Weapons in their Miracle Jeanne state, such as her Magical Pow Hammer turning into a 16t mallet. She also gets a hidden "Super Magical Cat Missile" (632146B) Distortion Drive in which a giant missile is sent across the screen, and her two other Distortion Drives are given added effects.
 * Oddly enough, when Platinum KOs the opponent with either the added effects of her existing DDs or her hidden one, the announcer refers to it as a normal finish, and not as a Distortion Finish.
 * Her staff turning into a mallet as well as a sixteen ton version could be a reference to Akane Tendo from the Ranma 1/2 series.
 * Her staff will also turn into a spiked bat which could be a refrence to Dokuro-chan's Excalibolg.
 * Platinum's English voice actress, Laura Bailey, is known for also playing Raspberyl from Disgaea 3, Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist, Blaze the Cat from the Sonic series (as of 2010), and the kid version of Trunks from Dragon Ball Z. Her voice for Luna appears to be based on Raspberyl, and her voice for Sena appears to be based on Trunks. Her portrayal of Trinity is presumably based on Lust.
 * Also, Laura Bailey is known for playing the young version of Chi-Chi in Dragon Ball, who also sounds like Luna.
 * Laura Bailey also plays Mashiro Kuna and Tier Harribel in Bleach.
 * Another popular role that Laura Bailey voices is Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket.
 * By looking carefully at Platinum's 5A, she makes one of three gestures: a fist, an open hand, or two fingers (index and middle). This could be related to the game rock, paper, scissors.
 * There is an odd glitch with Platinum which mostly happens when playing as her Unlimited Mode and finishing an opponent off with Cure Dot Typhoon in the first round. Generally, Platinum's victory pose (if it isn't the final round) will have her walk up to the fallen foe and prod at them with her staff. It is possible to have Platinum prodding at nothing if the fallen opponent is later hit with the bombs that rain down after CDT as she's poking them. It is also possible for the opponent to go opposite the direction Platinum is walking, which will cause her to keep walking forward. If she goes far enough, it is possible for Platinum to stop, but keep walking in place.
 * The reason for her walking in place is because the round cannot end until Platinum has finished her victory pose. However, a player can always just press Start to move on.
 * Platium's appearance in battle slightly resembles Chibi Usa from Sailor Moon
 * Platinum's Japanese seiyuu, Aoi Yūki, also plays Madoka Kaname in the anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which happens to be another Magical girl-themed anime. She shares that same trait with Taokaka's seiyuu, Chiwa Saitō, who plays Homura Akemi in the aforementioned anime.
 * Oddly enough, Luna mostly speaks in third person. The reason for this may be due to her Nox Nyctores. Alternatively, in Japanese culture, it is considered obnoxious and childish to refer to one's self by name as it implies a sense of self-importance and superiority over others. This is actually congruent with Luna's mannerisms and attitude. Of course, it is also possible that they do it in order to clarify who's in control.
 * In one of Platinum's Victory Poses, she will draw a huge doll of Jubei, lovingly hugging it.
 * While Luna and Sena have heart-shaped eyes, when Trinity takes control, they turn into regular eyes.
 * In Platinum's "Help Me! Professor Kokonoe" section, it is revealed by Trinity that Luna and Sena were raised by Jubei before being trapped in their current body.
 * Platinum's gag ending makes a lot of references to Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura: Luna wanted larger breasts to impress Jubei. In order to get them, she teamed up with three Magical Girls (including Carl, even though he's male, but he was only doing it "under duress") to defeat Boing Queen's henchmen and achieve the Boing Cards. Here are the character roles they might refer to:
 * Sailor Moon = Platinum the Trinity
 * Sailor Mercury = Noel Vermillion
 * Sailor Mars = Rachel Alucard
 * Sailor Jupiter = Carl Clover
 * Sailor Venus = Ada Clover
 * Tuxedo Mask = Relius Clover
 * Luna and Artemis = Nago and Gii
 * The Queen's Henchmen = Taokaka, Tsubaki Yayoi, and Makoto Nanaya
 * Queen Beryl =Litchi Faye-Ling
 * Sakubo from the .Hack//G.U. series shares similarities with Platinum the Trinity, since both are entities that have two people taking turns to control a single body. Also, both female personalities have someone they admire, love and call their master. One of the main differences between them is that Platinum's physical body is female, while Sakubo's body is male in the real world. Another difference is that while Sakubo's female personality is the result of Multiple Personality Disorder caused by personal trauma, Platinum is literally co-existing with three different souls in one body.
 * The character Fin from the upcoming fighter game named Phantom Breaker, somewhat resembles Platinum
