Now that I've been able to watch the first half Triangle Heart - Sweet Songs Forever, I've discovered that the various Nanoha anime are set in an alternate universe where her father settles down and runs the cafe, instead of dying while protecting the father of one of Miyuki and Kyoya's childhood friends. But we can still use Triangle Heart for background, ne?
Since we're concentrating on Takamachi Miyuki for DSKSWDYHMS, I paid the most attention to her:
Almost everyone who works at Midoriya has some sort of combat training, the sole exception being Nanoha-chan. And when Nanoha-chan gets angry, she becomes passive-agressive.
(Oh, yes - a design re-use note: Miyuki and Kyoya have a friend in England, named Ellis McGaren... who looks remarkably similiar to StrikerS-era Fate.)
Edit: Have two screencaps.
Teatime is time to relax.

Dark? Two opponents? Yes, she is that good.

Since we're concentrating on Takamachi Miyuki for DSKSWDYHMS, I paid the most attention to her:
- When the glasses come off, she's scary - she can dodge full-auto fire, and while Miyuki prefers to use the family's two-sword style (mikami-ryuu), she's almost as effective with just one sword. Or with straight-blade shuriken. Or with a lead pipe. (Funny, she doesn't look like a combat monster...)
- Miyuki has some sort of sixth sense - she can spot people waiting behind closed doors.
- She isn't Nanoha and Kyoya's sister; she's their cousin. Miyuki's mother (a special-unit police captain in Hong Kong) and the others' father are siblings. (And Momoko is Nanoha's mother, but not Kyoya's mother.)
- She speaks fluent Cantonese (as should be expected from where her mother works).
- Miyuki doesn't like flying. She'll get on a plane, but her poise disappears...
- Her yellow hair ribbon and braided ponytail is her "trademark" look.
- She prefers to wear white long-skirted dresses (and looks good in them).
