Description
Berno Fahrenhart is a character introduced in the anime Cardfight!! Vanguard G NEXT. She is a talented fighter who also works as a professional fashion model overseas, a career that contributes to her tall and elegant stature. Her physical appearance is marked by long, blondish-pink hair, fair skin, and light blue eyes, often dressed in a distinctive black and purple outfit that includes a sleeveless jacket and dress.
Berno's personality is notably reserved and low-energy, often carrying a languid or disinterested atmosphere. One of her most distinctive traits is her use of the first-person pronoun boku, which is typically associated with a masculine or boyish self-reference, adding to her unique demeanor. While under the influence of a diffride, her emotional expressions remain largely unchanged, showing little fluctuation before and after being possessed.
Her background is deeply tied to the U20 Championship, a major tournament held the year before the events of G NEXT. Berno, alongside Kazumi Onimaru and Miguel Torres, formed Team Auger and won the championship. Following this victory, she became diffrided by the Genesis unit Sublime Beauty, Amaruda, who took control of her body. The subsequent death of her teammate, Miguel Torres, in a car accident is a somber event from her past that she continues to mourn.
In the main story of G NEXT, Berno appears as a member of Team Diffrider, competing once more in the U20 Championship alongside Kazumi Onimaru and a new teammate, Saori Fuchidaka. Her role in the story is that of a formidable and almost unbeatable antagonist, demonstrating overwhelming power in the early stages of the tournament. She defeats opponents such as Taiyou Asukawa and Sayu Yatomura, displaying a calm and analytical approach to fights. Her motivations begin to shift when she encounters opponents who continue to smile even when losing, sparking her curiosity and interest in human determination and the passion fighters have for the game. This leads her to accept challenges from fighters like Anri Hayao and Tokoha Anjo, where she experiences defeat and begins to acknowledge the potential of humans. Prior to the finals, she specifically challenges Tokoha Anjo to a fight after learning more about Kazumi Onimaru's true nature, showing a willingness to seek the truth.
Her key relationships are central to her character. She shares a strong bond with her former Team Auger and current Team Diffrider teammate, Kazumi Onimaru, whom she addresses casually as Kazumi while diffrided. Her friendship with the late Miguel Torres is also a significant part of her history. Her relationship with the unit diffriding her, Sublime Beauty, Amaruda, is unique; unlike a forced possession, there appears to be a form of cooperation or bonding between them. She is also friends with Lati Curty, as the two are later seen together overseas.
The most significant development for Berno occurs in the U20 championship's final match. She faces Taiyou Asukawa again, this time fighting with her full strength in a decisive battle. Upon her defeat in this match, the diffride of Sublime Beauty, Amaruda, is finally released, and Berno's original personality is restored. This marks the end of her possession and the beginning of her life free from the unit's control.
Berno's notable abilities in Cardfights are defined by her deck and strategy. She uses the Genesis clan, focusing on the Revelation ability. Her tactics are described as a style that reads the future using this Revelation skill, allowing her to anticipate and counter her opponent's moves with high precision. Her ace unit is Sublime Beauty, Amaruda, and her trump card is Ishtar, Goddess of Investigation. Her skills in battle are consistently portrayed as top-tier, reflecting her status as a former champion.
