History: http://umineko.wikia.com/wiki/Battler_Ushiromiya
Personality: Whatever Battler is thinking is often written right on his face. He has a very open personality, and hardly ever holds in what he's really thinking. First and foremost, he has a very deep love for anyone close to him, namely his family. He will do anything for his family, and he enjoys being around his cousins and laughing with them the most. However, he feels a bit bitter towards his father at times, hence why he had left the family for six years. He was so furious at his father for going off and remarrying so quickly that he went to live with his grandparents on his mother's side. When he returned back to the Ushiromiya side, he put those kinds of feelings to the side. He's a man who's not afraid to cry in front of not only his family but those that are close to him. He’s a very emotional person, and there are plenty of times when his emotions get the better of him. Generally when he feels like he’s been backed into a corner during the course of the games, he’ll just put his head in his hands and begin to wail and shout about it.

Battler has this obsession with trying to be a gentleman, or even someone like a knight. In more than one occasion, he will walk up to women and continuously praise them, even going so far as to say very embarrassing lines to them. Such actions are why he is popular with the women at his school. Examples of such chivalry would be, telling the girls he will arrive on a white horse and take them away, or that he will save such a damsel in distress as them. If anyone else were to listen in on his compliments, he would then immediately turn red, and wish he hadn't even said it in the first place. All in all, he is a very kind man, and he truly believes in treating women with utmost respect, at least deep down he does.

On the surface however, he is an extreme pervert. Even though he wouldn't do anything over the top to a woman, he still likes to talk about them in perverted ways, or even try to do something perverted. He openly talks about women's chests, or topics centered around their body. Even though he talks about them like this, even if he gets close enough to grab at their chests, he still wants them to hit him. He believes that women need to some themselves for when they’re really in love with someone. When he was moving closer to touch Shannon’s chest and she didn’t hit him, he was becoming flustered since he actually thought he might be able to do it. He was smacked by Jessica in the end to stop such antics, and he thanked her for it, since that was a close call and he wasn’t going to be able to stop himself. Women are his one true weakness, and it would even go so far that sometimes he is blinded by the truth because a woman is in his way.

All that about him being a pervert though, it melts away as soon as his anger takes over. He is a very temperamental person, and it doesn't take much to sway his mood from being overly happy, to suddenly furious. His beliefs are very strong and if anyone opposes that, he's not afraid to stand up and say what he believes in. Fighting is another thing that comes naturally to him, he's a born fighter, he loves to argue with someone. Since he likes to read books centered around mysteries, no matter how much he tries to deny it, he likes to think up theories in different and exciting ways. One of his strong beliefs is that magic is not real, and everything can be solved by human means. He hates losing, so fighting until the bitter end is something he is definitely prepared to do.

Although Battler prefers to act like an idiot most of the time, he’s actually able to slow down and think about things from different perspectives. One of his favorite sayings is to ‘flip the chessboard over.’ Meaning to look at something from another angle, and see if it’s possible to come up with a different reasoning. He first heard such a thing from Kyrie, who then went on to explain its meaning in full. Battler does have the ability to think about someone else’s point of view and see just what they’re talking about, but due to his stubborn attitude, often times that sort of reasoning slips his mind. If he somehow is able to calm himself down, he soon becomes more intelligent than when he gets riled up and screams about topics. All in all, he’s smart when he wants to be- but hardly comes through and shows that side of him.

During the course of the games, Battler had been fighting with Beato the entire time over his family and just how each of them were murdered, by human ways of course. However, he tends to have a habit of forgiving or accepting someone easily, even if they had wronged him in the past. This could be seen as a good thing, someone so accepting that they’ll even put aside all of their flaws and see the good person underneath everything. Most of the time his logic doesn’t make sense in this department however, and it ends up costing him big. In the third game Battler had started to trust Beato more since she had started to act like she really just wanted to be a good witch for him and he believed her. Turns out she was faking, and such a big trick hurt him dearly- he had truly trusted that she had seen the error of her ways and would stop such tricks. He was wrong, and he soon sulked about it for a while before going back to his regular headstrong attitude.

After Battler had witnessed Beato being crushed by his own powers at the very end of the fourth game, he soon realized that there must be more to this game than what he had initially thought. After musing over such thoughts to himself, he soon understood what Beato had really been trying to tell him and forgave her for everything she had put him through. Just like that, Battler is able to forgive a person for doing such heinous things to him, merely because he sees from their side that they had a motive for such a thing. He’s an all too forgiving character- and on top of that too trusting. With these aspects combined, he wonders why people continue to betray him time and time again- but it’s because he’s too trusting of a person to see when someone is being cruel to him.

Even though he’s an intelligent young man, Battler often has tunnel vision, and only focuses on what’s in front of him at the time. Even if there’s something else bothering him, he’s easily able to put such a thing to the side and just focus on what he’s doing at the moment. When Ange had died before him during the fourth game, he was devastated over something as dramatic and traumatizing as that. As soon as he realized what he had to do, he pointed at the witch before him and declared war on her. After their battle however, it was as though Battler had completely forgotten about his sister which had sacrificed herself for him mere moments ago. He was just focused on the injured witch in front of him, and vowed he would solve her mystery for her- and find out who she really was. He had been so passionate about his sister dying, but as soon as something else came along- he soon pushed something like that to the back of his mind. He had not forgotten about it, he just focused on something other than dwelling on that twisted sacrifice.

As stated before, even though Battler acts like a shameless pervert, he still prefers to say that everyone needs to find love in their life. He often pities people who have not experienced love, and hopes they could find something as wonderful as it. He’s a little pushy with the topic, since he’s so passionate about it, but he’ll back off if he realizes the person can’t exactly understand the concept right away. After he had fallen in love with Beato following the fifth game, he had looked down upon those who didn’t share the same kind of intense love that he had. When one of the witches- Erika, asked him to hurry up with his game, he just glared at her and asked her if she even had love. She scoffed at him and told him it was stupid, and he just stopped talking about such a thing and gave her a nasty stare. He has a big heart, and openly shares it with everyone. He’s usually called soft or an idiot- but he doesn’t care, he takes pride in who he is and continues to act that way.

Generally one wouldn’t know what kinds of things Battler is in to, since he hardly speaks about his hobbies. However, he enjoys a great deal of reading and absorbing random knowledge. There are different bits of information he knows here and there that often times no one else would know. He prefers to read mystery novels, even when he was young he adored to read- and it usually takes him a day to complete a book. Battler mentioned before that he reads about one hundred books a year, and that could range from his precious mystery novels to different text books.

Strengths:
Extended knowledge: Even though Battler may not look or sound like it, but he’s actually very smart. Since he’s an avid reader, he knows a lot of random facts about different topics. On more than one occasion in the novel, someone has brought up a point and Battler brings up historians to support such a claim. An example would be around the third game, Battler went into the rose garden for a while and Virgilia started to speak with him. The two of them started to talk about different topic, and Battler told Virgilia that “things burn due to a chemical reaction. The phlogiston theory should have been disproved by Lavoiser,” and so on.
Stronger than most: Battler has mentioned during the beginning of the novel that he used to weight train, along with different ways of getting more fit. He’s athletic, and big guy to boot. Battler stands at about 5’11. At the end of the fifth game he demonstrated that he at least has some fighting capabilities, like when he was dubbed the gamemaster and knew just how to handle a sword. Battler’s no pushover when it comes to fighting, however he still prefers to fight with his words rather than his body.
Path to righteousness: Battler seems to have this innate sense for things that should be right and wrong. Since he is a fan of all things knightly, he has a strong sense for justice. If there’s something wrong with someone, he’ll feel the need to try and help them out- going out of his way to do so.
Who wants to play clue?: Since he’s been fighting in all these different games with Beato, Battler has the ability to think up random and almost impossible scenarios in his head and relate them back to the mystery at hand. For example, in the third game there was a time when the first Twilight occurred, and he had to come up with a theory as to how all six corpses appeared in locked rooms. He soon came up with the twisted theory that one of them killed everyone and while the culprit was moving to another room, a trap was sprung and person X died. Beato was unable to repeat that in red and had to retreat to come at Battler from another angle.

Weaknesses: Battler smash: Often times he is quick to anger, and when such a thing occurs he will forget about everything else around him and just throw a tantrum over something. This has happened multiple times during the course of the games, and it generally ends up with Battler crying and rolling around, or him just fleeing the scene until he had relax. He’s overly stubborn, and it usually takes a long conversation to convince him of anything, even the game where he was to deny witches lasted about five games, since he was too stubborn and blind to the truth behind them.
Another broken heart: Even though this man has good intentions at the time, he has made promises to people in the past only to come up short or even forget about them. As stated before, when he’s angry he tends to just focus on that- so if he has an important thing to do but suddenly grows frustrated, often times that promise will die out for him. He had made a promise to a servant when he was younger, promised to come back to the island and take her away on a pony. Sadly, later on Battler got into an argument with his father and due to his rage, he had forgotten about such a promise and left the Ushiromiya family for six years.
Let’s play oblivious: Even though he has the ability to be more perceptive of situations when he wants to be, Battler often just falls short of the answer he’s searching for. On more than one occasion this is evident in the games. A prime example would be during the fourth, his sister was beside him the entire time, and he even commented about how she reminded him of someone- but she just dismissed his claims and he went along with her words. It was the truth in the end, that she was his sister, but her finally telling him and giving him that extra boost of confidence cost her life.
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer: Battler has a bad habit of trusting everyone too easily, along with wanting to be friends with everyone. It could possibly be seen as a strength since he wants everyone to be happy around him- however, such a thing can’t be good when he’s going out of his way to befriend someone who he’s considered an enemy in the past. In the eighth game, Battler states to a certain cruel witch that after their games are over they’re going to be friends, and she just stares at him like he’s gone nuts. Even if someone is his enemy, eventually they become a friend of him, at least on his side. If they continuously prove that they’re not friend material, then he’ll brand them an enemy, but only after several attempts at friendship.
Samples
First Person: (video)
[Battler is seen walking through the forest, frowning as he dodges branches left and right.]
So I don’t really know what’s going on here, but I woke up and found myself in this weird place. Come on… this is another witch’s game, isn’t it? You’re just trying to get me riled up again, but I won’t fall for it this time….! You may have gotten me in the past you bastards, but this time I’m more determined than ever.
Even though… w…wait…. Wait- how can Beato do something like this if I…. [he stops, thinking for a second.] …then this has to be one of those other witch’s that did this, yeah…! Yeah that’s right-! Aahh it’s useless! This is definitely useless…! Such a game shouldn’t exist…! It looks like I’m not even on Rokkenjima anymore!
Come on out, all you witches who keep torturing me! Don’t you have anything better to do…?! This is a game between me and Beato, not you guys! I-it was you ….you witches who put me here…right…?! Kuh…! Don’t tell me this is random fragmeeeeent…! Come on come on! You’re going to have to do better than thaaaat!! I swear I’ll come find you and I’ll-- [The feed seems to cut off while he’s in the middle of his tantrum.]


Third Person:
Battler shot up quickly, almost as though he had just been having a terrible dream moments prior. His breathing was heavy and he felt as though his whole body was hot. He didn’t quite understand why- his mind was a blur. Blinking a few times, the redhead raised a hand to his face and rubbed at his eyes, attempting to get rid of that blurred vision.
What had he been doing just now…? He hadn’t recalled taking a nap, even if his memory was a little hazy he could at least make out that much. The last thing he remembered would be coming back into the parlor after that magic fight with Beato. He had finally beaten her; he had gotten so riled up after seeing his precious little sister turned into a big lump of flesh on the checkered floor. When he thought back on it though, he hadn’t actually seen her being ripped apart- no he had merely felt it. As moments passed, he soon recalled that sensation, that feeling of someone holding his head and that warm crimson liquid running down his head- down his neck. It was a sick feeling, he had concluded that at the time, but now that he had a moment to himself without all the adrenaline flowing through him, he felt even more nauseous.
He rubbed at his eyes a few more times before finally pulling away and opening them once more. Ah… it looked as though he was in some sort of lush forest, the scenery reminded me of Rokkenjima, but at the same time… he felt as though this couldn’t be that familiar forest he was so used to seeing day in and day out. For one, it wasn’t even raining here- none of that constant downpour he was so used to seeing back in purgatory. No, it seemed as though the typhoon had passed if anything… but that couldn’t be it, they were stuck on that island due to that insane weather.
“…I….just don’t get it…” he looked around a bit more, and when he did he noticed that he had no shirt on. Weird- and to top it off, beside him were his clothes neatly folded in a pile. It was almost as though someone took him here, changed his clothes, and spread out his outfit in a nice manner to make him feel more at home.
…Yeah right. Who the hell would do such a thing? Even if someone was kidnapped, they shouldn’t thank the criminal for at least taking the time to be gentle with their belongings.
Battler frowned a bit more, and then when he moved- …he felt something on his back. He was almost afraid to turn around, scared to see what kinds of tricks were here awaiting him. Was it a goatman…? Another one of those witch’s furniture just waiting to devour him whole. He could almost remember those teeth munching on his flesh back in the second game, but no… this was different. If it was one of those goats he would be able to feel their hot breath against his flesh.
After a moment, the redhead turned around fully- noticing a set of wings on his back, “h….haa…?!” he gasped, not knowing why these were even here. He made an attempt to reach over his shoulder to feel them- but even then he felt as though they would break with the slightest touch. Battler gulped, and just tried to understand the situation at hand.
“O…okay calm down… let’s think…. I’m in a strange world, with no shirt on, and different pants even and…. And wings? Bahh…. Give me a break….” Battler sighed to himself. He had been in weird situations before, but this definitely took the cake. After but a moment, he had tried to stand up. Might as well put his clothes back on and head further into the forest and find out just what the hell is going on.
