[[folder:Main Characters]]
!Rin Okumura
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/RinAnime_6725.jpg
->Voiced by: NobuhikoOkamoto
The protagonist. Rin and his twin brother Yukio were raised by Father Fujimoto Shiro. Something of a {{delinquent}} but with a good heart, he turns out to be the son of {{Satan}}.
----
* AlmightyJanitor: In terms of overall combat he is a lot stronger than his fellow classmates. This is extremely evident when fighting [[spoiler:Amaimon -- while he easily [[CurbStompBattle curbstomped]] his allies, he had to put a little more effort defeating him.]]
** Made even more obvious when Rin fought [[spoiler:Amaimon]] with his sword drawn, almost defeating the latter if the battle wasn't interrupted. [[spoiler:Amaimon]], one of the strongest demons in Gehenna that ''no exorcist will be able to defeat on their own.''
** Expanded upon and taken UpToEleven in episode 17, where he [[spoiler:utterly trashes Amaimon, who was earlier shown to be casually defeating Shura and Angel - a high class exorcist and ''the'' strongest exorcist in the order, respectively]].
* AntiAntiChrist: He's the son of Satan but he wants to kick his ass.
* BadassAbnormal: Given his lineage...
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' harm [[BigBrotherInstinct Yukio]] or [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl Shiemi]] in any way.
* BerserkMode: If he stays in his demonic state too long, he'll become more or less a vessel of violence and not much else.
* BookDumb
* CainAndAbel: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] and ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverted]].
* CallingTheOldManOut: He wants to kill daddy Satan.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: As shown when Shura accidentally mixes up their drinks.
* CharacterDevelopment: Already in practice. He started out much angrier and discontented than he is now. Although still insecure, he seems to be happier and a bit more easygoing.
* CoolSword
** FlamingSword
* FangsAreEvil: Inverted.
* FantasticArousal: His tail, at least in fanworks. Since this is a shounen-series and less-focused on something like this, it is up to debate whether this is canon or not. Pulling it ''does'' result in massive pain and near-incapacitation.
* {{Familiar}}: His is a MegaNeko.
* {{Foil}}: To Yukio, he has the friendly personality that everyone loves.But he's also BookDumb and sometimes has the maturity of a 10 year old.
* HalfHumanHybrid
* HappilyAdopted: Until Fujimoto died.
* HealingFactor: [[spoiler:Chopping his foot off? This is ''nothing''!]]
* [[spoiler:HeroicBSOD]]: [[spoiler:Occurs in chapters 25 and 26 of the manga, where he thinks he's better off dead, can't unsheathe his sword due to lack of confidence, and is sentenced to execution]]. After a CoolDownHug from Shiemi, he's a-okay, though!
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: A constant struggle for him as he never wants to become a true monster himself.
* HiddenDepths: He's an [[SupremeChef amazing cook]]. ''[[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood A-ma-zing]]''.
* HotBlooded
* {{Immortality}}: Type III. He's got the HealingFactor down pat, and the lack of aging can be inferred [[spoiler:from the fact that Mephisto Pheles, another Son of Satan, has served the organization for over 200 years yet looks no older than thirty]].
* IdiotHero: Especially compared to Yukio, who's also his ''professor''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* LaserGuidedTykebomb: Is kept alive just to become a weapon to destroy Satan. [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] since the ones who were raising him were good guys, and most of them had the good sense to be nice to him about it.
* MeaningfulName: The kanji for Rin's name, 燐, means [[IncendiaryExponent "Phosphorus"]].
** In addition, the Greek word for phosphorus, Φωσφόρος , literally means "light-bearer." In Latin, this is "lucem ferre," more commonly shortened to ''[[TheDevil Lucifer.]]''
* PointyEars
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Yukio's blue.
* ScrewDestiny: Doesn't care about being a demon or [[spoiler:a [[LaserGuidedTykebomb tykebomb]]]]--every time the subject is brought up, he just [[JumpedAtTheCall yells that he will become an exorcist]].
* SiblingTriangle: With Yukio towards Shiemi.
* SiblingYinYang: With Yukio.
* [[{{Satan}} Son Of Satan]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] -- he can somewhat control his flames, but the longer he stays with his sword drawn, the more he loses control of himself. As shown in Chapter 14, he can completely stop acting like a human.
* SuperStrength: Shown to have this.
* SupremeChef
* ShonenUpgrade: {{Subverted}}, as Rin has had his powers all along. All he needs is to unlock (and learn to control) them all.
* TechnicolorFire: It's blue
** Fire becomes blue if it hits high enough temperatures, so it's TruthInTelevision.
* {{Telepathy}}: He and Kuro are able to communicate using telepathy. He's able to read Kuro's thoughts, though it remains to be seen how his range of this communication goes with other demons.
** In the anime, his hearing of demon's language extends to Ukobach too.
* TigerVersusDragon: The tiger to Bon's dragon.
* ToBeAMaster: Rin desires to be like Shiro and become the highest class Exorcist. While not his only goal, it is a major one.
* {{Tsundere}}: An adorable mild version.
* {{Tsurime Eyes}}
* WellDoneSonGuy: To Yukio. Ironically, Yukio has always envied his tougher, more confident brother [[spoiler:which makes him more susceptible to the dark side.]]
* WreathedInFlames: When he draws on his demonic powers.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: It is a show called Blue Exorcist after all. Considering he glows blue flames and is half-demon, It's probably justified.
!Yukio Okumura
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/YukioAnime_6046.jpg
->Voiced by: JunFukuyama
Rin's younger twin brother, a professor, and a Middle First-Class Exorcist. Very smart and mature, more so than his brother. A calm and a competent teacher.
----
* TheAce: Is there anything he can't do?
** [[spoiler:BrokenAce: Given his level of self-hatred for his own weaknesses and on some level hating his brother and the only father he ever knew.]]

** TookAlevelInBadass
* BeautyMark: Has three of them and he's a little embarrassed by them.
* BerserkButton: Same as Rin's. Really.
* BigLittleBrother: Sort of. He's extremely smart (got the top score in his incoming class), tall, very handsome and a well accomplished Middle First Class Exorcist at 15 years old. Compare him to his older, shorter, [[BookDumb less brilliant]] twin, Rin, who's only an [=ExWire=] currently.
* BishieSparkle
* [[spoiler: DemonicPossession: In the Anime, by his [[{{Satan}} Father]].]]
* {{Foil}}: To Rin, he has the brains and maturity, but is missing out on Rin's friendly extroverted personality.
* [[spoiler:FreakOut]]: [[spoiler: Following an arduous battle with [[ManipulativeBastard Toudou]], Toudou regenerates from pieces on the ground and grabs him with a disembodied hand telling Yukio that [[BrokenAce his self-loathing]] is the first step to becoming a demon, and that [[RageBreakingPoint Yukio's true nature is a demon]]. Bullets ensue.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: A little bit towards Rin.
* TheGunslinger
** GunsAkimbo: Sometimes, and in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy4NPK88DGo anime trailer]].
* HalfHumanHybrid: Subverted
* HappilyAdopted: Until Fujimoto died.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler: His BrokenAce feelings and self-loathing could easily turn him into the very thing he fights.]]
* HiddenDepths: Reads ''Jump Square'' every month and even likes gag manga, of all things.
* HotWings: He gets a pair in episode 24, [[spoiler: after he's been possessed by Satan.]]
* ImprobableAge: He is their teacher and Rin's ''younger'' twin brother.
* {{Megane}}

** UnexplainedRecovery

* DelinquentHair[=/=]FaceOfAThug
** FreakyFashionMildMind
* EyePop: [[http://www.mangareader.net/ao-no-exorcist/28/9 Didn't seem to take Rin seriously when he said Blackie could change sizes.]]
* GeniusBruiser
* HiddenDepths: Rin immediately assumes that Bon's nothing but an angry brute. Turns out he's very smart, hardworking, and loves cleaning and meditation, not to mention he's an eloquent reciter.
* HotBlooded
* ItsPersonal: Against Satan, for wrecking his family's temple and scaring many people away from it, who believed it to be a cursed place.
* NotSoDifferent: From Rin. Lampshaded by Konekomaru and Renzo.
-->'''Renzo''': Aren't they rather...similar?

* BrainyBrunette: Is at the top of her class.
* BreakTheHaughty
* GirlishPigtails
* {{Familiar}}s: Has a pair of very powerful foxes who almost killed her when they saw [[BreakTheHaughty she wasn't as strong as she seemed]].
* HimeCut: Keeps it in pigtails, though.
* FriendlessBackground: Happened due to being the only one who could see demons and such.
* IceQueen
** DefrostingIceQueen
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While rather rude and blunt to those around her, she's also a genuinely good girl. She encourages Shiemi (in her own way) when the latter has given up and is the first to defend Rin (and for a while, the only one to stand by his side) when it's revealed that he's the son of Satan and all his other friends are uneasy around him.
* KindheartedCatLover: When no one's around of course.
* PerpetualFrowner
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Not exactly evil, just prideful.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Shiemi's girly girl. Although she's not that tomboyish...

One of Bon's childhood friends from Kyoto. A slightly perverted Buddhist priest with pink hair and entomophobia.
----
* ChivalrousPervert: Takes every opportunity he can to flirt with a female.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: If the merchandise has anything to say about it. This guy is snuck into [[http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-53150 pictures]] alongside more central characters of the show when his fellow companions who've arguably been given more focus, Bon and Konekomaru, are nowhere in sight! There's even an [[http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-54616 official letter set]] where he appears more often than the main character, for some reason.
* LovableCoward: Contemplates running away most of the time. If he does run, he never fails to come back for his friends.
* NunTooHoly
* [[RoseHairedGirl Rose-Haired Guy]]: Much to his father's chagrin.
** Subverted that it's just dyed but fits the trope otherwise.
* SimpleStaff
* ThemeNaming: His siblings are named Kinzou ([[VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi not that one]]) and Juuzou ([[DetectiveConan not that one, either]]).

!Mephisto Pheles
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MephistoAnime_1307.jpg
->Voiced by: HiroshiKamiya
Chairman of the True Cross Academy who, after Fujimoto died, was ordered to kill Rin. However, he accepted Rin's proposal in becoming an Exorcist and entered him into True Cross Academy. Can turn into a dog. [[spoiler:He's also another Son of Satan, making him Rin's half-brother.]]
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Of eye color variety. He has {{blue eyes}} in the manga and {{green eyes}} in the anime.
* TheChessmaster[=/=]GuileHero[=/=]ManipulativeBastard: Depending on who he's really working for (other than himself), Mephisto is shaping up to be one of these. [[BewareTheSillyOnes Pity the guys on the other side.]]
* DevilInPlainSight: He may be a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] though. After all, while he certainly ''is'' a [[spoiler:son of Satan]], he was also close friends with [[BadassPreacher Fujimoto]] and is one of the good guys right now. Technically, at least. See ForTheEvulz below.
* EccentricMentor: If Mephisto really ''is'' on the side of the Exorcists, then he is this. Older than most of other characters? Check. Knows more than he lets on most of the time? Check. Usually acts like comic relief? Check. Eccentric? Double check. Cares not for what others may think? Considering [[VillainousFashionSense his fashion sense]], probably check. Acts like a mentor/protector/guide? Check, to his students and school. More powerful than he shows? Considering he was able to [[spoiler:drag a [[BerserkMode berserker]] Rin around [[ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask while calmly sheathing his sword and pleasantly talking to someone]],]] that would most likely be a ''check''[[hottip:*:He hasn't been in a legitimate fight yet, though, so it's yet to be confirmed]]. Seems to prefer letting his students solve problems by themselves? Mostly check, with him [[GuileHero making a few nudges here and there]]. He seems to fit this trope very well but then, if he's not on the side he claims to be on, he may be a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]].
* {{Familiar}}: Has two different ones so far. One is Ukobach, a demon who, as shown in the anime, cooks food for Rin and Yukio. The other is apparently disguised as [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mephito_4223.jpg his umbrella]] most of the time.
* ForTheEvulz: (Or is it for the goodz?) His reason for being the leader of the side that wants to take down [[spoiler:his dad]] is because he's bored.
* FunSize: His dog form.
* GratuitousGerman: While it is the correct usage, he gratuitously uses "eins, zwei, drei" occasionally, which simply means "one, two, three". He has also used two spells called "Kuchen Cuckoo House" (''kuchen'' being the German word for "cake", used in other languages to describe various other sweets) and "Das Stärkste Gefängnis", meaning "the Strongest Prison". This is possibly justified in that his namesake originates from German folklore.
* HellishPupils
* IdiotHair: [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mephito_4223.jpg And how.]] It's hidden under the hat.
* TheInsomniac: The tankobon claims he has one hour of sleep a night.
* LethalChef
* ManInWhite: More often than not.
* MeaningfulName[=/=]NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Named after the demon in the archetypal DealWithTheDevil German tale of {{Faust}}.
** NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* NiceHat
* {{Otaku}}: According to the character profiles in the tankobon, he enjoys movies, manga, anime, video games, music, toys, and subcultures.
* PublicDomainCharacter: In the anime continuity, at least, where it's made explicit that he is the very same Mephistopheles who contracted with Faust in the original folktale. In the manga, this remains to be seen.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Has been working with the exorcists for 200 years.
!Shura Kirigakure
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ShuraAnime_5480.jpg
->Voiced by: RinaSatou
26-year-old {{badass}} Upper First Class Exorcist swordswoman. Rather busty and favours wearing very little clothing. Has long red hair and acts a bit childish. Also an instructor.
----
* AdultChild
* {{Badass}}: An Upper First-Class exorcist trained personally by [[BadassPreacher Father Fujimoto]]. She basically kicks ass every time she draws her sword. Even [[GuileHero Meph]][[MagnificentBastard isto]] takes her seriously when she starts to (perhaps unknowingly) mess with his plans a little. For Mephisto, this is definitely saying something as he doesn't seem to take things seriously 98% of the time.
* BoobsOfSteel
* BottleFairy: She even drinks ''on the job'', if presented with the opportunity.
* BrilliantButLazy: She avoided promotions to be near Fujimoto, who she also considered as her father; however she really is ''that'' lazy and ''that'' gifted, which infuriates Yukio to no end.
* CaptainErsatz: Yoko from GurrenLagann. Red hair in a ponytail, long weapon strapped to her back, bikini and booty shorts uniform, tough attitude, big boobs & big boots.? C'mon.
** Her artwork really looks like a certain gender bent [[StarDriver Galactic Pretty Boy]]. Especially the hair.
** She looks like [[FoolyCooly Haruko Haruhara]] in the face department.
* ChristmasCake: She introduces herself to her class as eighteen and constantly interrupts Yukio whenever he tries to tell everyone that she's really twenty-six years old.
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Formerly Baggy Hoodie Video Game Dude.
* {{Gainaxing}}
* GamerChick
* HotChickWithASword
* IgnoreTheFanservice: In the SexyBack shot neither Yukio or Rin are concerned about her state off dress

!Satan, The Demon King
The ruler of Gehanna, and father of Amaimon, Mephisto, Rin, and Yukio.
----
* ArchnemesisDad
* AxCrazy: Nearly every time he pops up...
* BigBad: He is the Demon King
* BodyHorror: Anyone he possesses without sufficient compatibility
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: [[spoiler: Oh, Satan. When Yuri said she dreamed of a world where demons and humans could live together, she didn't mean that you should [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt turn Assiah into a wasteland in the process]]. Also, "nurturing a life" implies that you are not allowed to [[DemonicPossession possess said life at a later date]]. PoorCommunicationKills indeed.]]
* DemonicPossession: Well, he tries but fails, due to the number of people who can perfectly house his full power being limited to less than five people.
* PlayingWithFire: The Blue Flames
* JerkAss: How he treated Rin on their first meeting, while possessing [[BadassPreacher Fujimoto]].
** [[spoiler: JerkWithAHeartOfGold: However, the Anime plays with it, stating because no one can house his flames, he can't stay in Assiah and has little understanding of life. When he fell in love with Yuri, and she was sentenced to death, he caused the Blue Night in an attempt to save her.]] Then again, they didn't make an attempt to gloss over all the deaths he's caused.
* KickTheDog: See JerkAss
!Amaimon
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amaimon_3289.png
->Voiced by: TetsuyaKakihara
Mephisto's younger brother and the second son of Satan, known as the "Earth King". He seems rather detached and childish and doesn't care much about Rin, preferring to go tour Japan.
----
* AnimeHair: He has a horn/spike hairstyle similar to [[ShamanKing Tao Ren's]].
* {{Badass}}: He's a special kind. "I murdered so many of his brethren, so he'll cooperate". He also fights [[BerserkMode Berserk!]]Rin pretty well while carrying Shiemi on one shoulder. He has a reputation of being pretty much impossible for [[HeroKiller any exorcist to beat]].
* BerserkButton: A good way to get him serious or into a fight is to laugh at him. So don't laugh at him. ''Ever.''
* BewareTheSillyOnes
* BigOlEyebrows
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* DemonicPossession: Technically, for a demon to stay in Assiah aside from being born, they have to do this. An Omake stated he's possessing some poor guy...or hamster in the anime.
* DishingOutDirt
* DissonantSerenity: The whole time he's fighting Rin and the others, he seems...calm. Amused. He also lets out a cheerful "yaaaay" when Rin unsheathes Kurikara.
* DullSurprise
* {{Expy}}: Don't his facial expressions and [[NoSocialSkills lack of social skills]] somewhat resemble [[{{Bakuman}} Niizuma Eiji]]?
** Funny [[NobuhikoOkamoto Rin's seiyuu]] voiced him.
* FangsAreEvil
* GeniusBonus[=/=]MeaningfulName: Name is that of the Prince of Hell.
** NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* HilariousInHindsight: It's funny think that Hiroshi Kamiya (Mephisto) spouts any German used in the show when ''Amaimon's'' voice actor, Tetsuya Kakihara, was born and raised in Germany and is as fluent in German as he is in Japanese.
* IShallTauntYou
* LightningBruiser: One finger from him could break a bone and he was so fast that [[spoiler:Rin]] could hardly keep up with him.

* PsychopathicManchild
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: [[http://www.mangareader.net/406-54591-16/ao-no-exorcist/chapter-13.html Byoooooo~n]].

** That's not ShipTease at all, he was just trying to push Rin's BerserkButton. It worked.
* {{Superstrength}}: [[FingerPokeOfDoom A poke]] from him ''breaks bone''.

A cat sith who used to be the guardian deity of some local silk farmers. Was forgotten by people as the times changed, going berserk, but Fujimoto was able to tame him and make him his familiar. Later became Rin's familiar after he calmed Kuro from the rage of hearing about Fujimoto's death.

* {{Telepathy}}: Rin can read his thoughts.
!Saburota Toudou
A former exorcist, now demon. [[spoiler:He revived the IK and forces Kurara to possess him for the sake of power]]. His reasons for turning traitor are yet unknown, but possibly include his jealousy of and attempts to catch up with his father and older brother.
----
* AffablyEvil: He is always very polite, even when he [[spoiler:betrays both the exorcists and Mamushi.]] In fact, he arguably became even more polite ''after'' he revealed himself to be evil.
* BatmanGambit: Pulls one off by [[spoiler:obtaining both demon eyes through a bit of [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] and [[TricksterArchetype trickery]], then using them to deliberately awaken the [[SealedEvilinaCan Impure King]]. He knew that this would cause Tatsuma to show up and try to defeat the Impure King using his familiar Kurara. This weakened Tatsuma, allowing Toudou to kill him (who was saved by a revived Karura) and force Kurara to possess Toudo himself. It had all gone according to plan.]]
* [[spoiler:CannibalismSuperPower]]: [[spoiler: He noms demons to control their powers.]]
* EvilFeelsGood: He implies this much while talking to Yukio. [[spoiler:Said to Yukio almost verbatim as "it's nice to be a demon".]]
* HannibalLecture: Gives one [[spoiler: and more on a regular basis]] to Yukio.
** First one: after revealing himself as an exorcist fallen to a demon, he mentioned he was always in the shadow of his father and brothers, and he never could voice his doubts about his path. It rattles Yukio, but Yukio decides that he is not Saburota, but himself.
** [[spoiler: Second one: In their next confrontation, Saburota says that Yukio's father and brother are what have defined his paths in life and that he had no real choice in his path, leading him to despise his brother for having no idea what agony he went through. Yukio admits that he does love and hate his brother, but above all else he hates himself the most.]]
** [[spoiler: THIRD one: Following his discovery of Yukio's [[OccultBlueEyes blue eyes]] (after almost killing the kid) and after Yukio thought Saburota was destroyed, [[FromASingleCell Saburota regenerates]] and comments that self-loathing is the first step to becoming a demon and that Yukio's true nature is that of a demon. [[RageBreakingPoint Yukio has had enough of Toudou by this point]].]]
* [[ObfuscatingStupidity Obfuscating Incompetence]]: He was first seen as an Upper Second Class exorcist with a timid personality who provided some [[MrExposition exposition]] about an incident involving one of the demon eyes. He seemed like an incompetent, but reasonably brave and decent, guy. And then it turns out it was all an act. He had in fact already turned traitor and only exposed himelf as TheMole in the chapter in which he was introduced. He has since shown considerable [[NotSoHarmless competence]] and [[BatmanGambit cunning]]. He is now [[ManipulativeBastard one to watch out for.]]
* StalkerWithoutACrush: In his own words, [[spoiler:[[VillainTakesAnInterest he is "very interested" in Yukio]].]]
* StartOfDarkness: He described his. He wanted to be like his father and brother, but was discontent with living a life he felt was shaped by others. Ultimately he became a demon and is working for his own goals.
!Arthur Auguste Angel
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Arthur_An_3347.jpg
The newly appointed Paladin. Angel follows the orders of the Vatican to a T. He'll do so even knowing full well that his actions are immoral in the eyes of others. Very little is known about his past.
----
* BadassLongHair
* BigDamnHeroes: In episode 25.
* {{BFS}}: Caliburn. [[TalkingWeapon And it talks too!]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Shura calls him "a saint on the outside and a devil on the inside". He's also shown shades of a sadistic personality.
* CurbStompBattle: Both on the delivering and receiving ends. He easily manages to subdue both Rin and Shura, but when Amaimon went into an UnstoppableRage, he was almost immediately knocked out.
* FantasticRacism: In the anime, "for the kin of Satan, just being alive is a sin!"
** In the manga, referring to Mephisto, "his kind specializes in deceit!"
* HonorBeforeReason: As of episode 24, he's admitted to realizing that the Vatican is going in the wrong direction, but he refuses to betray them and will still follow his orders.
* LawfulStupid: Arthur will follow the orders of his superiors, without question, even knowing that they may obstruct some people's good intentions.

----
* BlatantLies: "Destroying Gehena will [[spoiler: turn (Rin) back into a normal human."]] That is, if [[spoiler: opening the gate to Gehena doesn't kill him.]]
** [[spoiler: the Grigori were the ones that burnt Yuri as a witch.]]
* ChurchMilitant: The True Cross Order was always this, but after he's appointed as [[spoiler: the new Pope]] he [[UpToEleven brings it up to eleven]] by allowing "holy weapons" that are basically enchanted sub-machine guns ''to be used by high school students.''
* EvilLaugh: As seen in episode 23.
* FantasticRacism: Towards demons.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Why he has to wear a mask.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: VERY extreme. Even willing to kill [[spoiler: his own grandson]] through an ''extremely'' painful [[ReligionIsMagic magical/religious]] ritual in order to "win the war against Gehena."
!Yuri Egin
The mother of Rin and Yukio, who died shortly after giving birth to them. [[spoiler:In the Anime, she was regarded as the "Witch of the Forest", living with demons and being possessed willingly by Satan.

->Voiced by: NobuhikoOkamoto
The protagonist. Rin and his twin brother Yukio were raised by Father Fujimoto Shiro. Something of a {{delinquent}} but with a good heart, he turns out to be the son of {{Satan}}.
----
* AlmightyJanitor: In terms of overall combat he is a lot stronger than his fellow classmates. This is extremely evident when fighting [[spoiler:Amaimon -- while he easily [[CurbStompBattle curbstomped]] his allies, he had to put a little more effort defeating him.]]
** Made even more obvious when Rin fought [[spoiler:Amaimon]] with his sword drawn, almost defeating the latter if the battle wasn't interrupted. [[spoiler:Amaimon]], one of the strongest demons in Gehenna that ''no exorcist will be able to defeat on their own.''
** Expanded upon and taken UpToEleven in episode 17, where he [[spoiler:utterly trashes Amaimon, who was earlier shown to be casually defeating Shura and Angel - a high class exorcist and ''the'' strongest exorcist in the order, respectively]].
* AntiAntiChrist: He's the son of Satan but he wants to kick his ass.
* BadassAbnormal: Given his lineage...
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' harm [[BigBrotherInstinct Yukio]] or [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl Shiemi]] in any way.
* BerserkMode: If he stays in his demonic state too long, he'll become more or less a vessel of violence and not much else.
* BookDumb
* CainAndAbel: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] and ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverted]].
* CallingTheOldManOut: He wants to kill daddy Satan.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: As shown when Shura accidentally mixes up their drinks.
* CharacterDevelopment: Already in practice. He started out much angrier and discontented than he is now. Although still insecure, he seems to be happier and a bit more easygoing.
* CoolSword
** FlamingSword
* FangsAreEvil: Inverted.
* FantasticArousal: His tail, at least in fanworks. Since this is a shounen-series and less-focused on something like this, it is up to debate whether this is canon or not. Pulling it ''does'' result in massive pain and near-incapacitation.
* {{Familiar}}: His is a MegaNeko.
* {{Foil}}: To Yukio, he has the friendly personality that everyone loves.But he's also BookDumb and sometimes has the maturity of a 10 year old.
* HalfHumanHybrid
* HappilyAdopted: Until Fujimoto died.
* HealingFactor: [[spoiler:Chopping his foot off? This is ''nothing''!]]
* [[spoiler:HeroicBSOD]]: [[spoiler:Occurs in chapters 25 and 26 of the manga, where he thinks he's better off dead, can't unsheathe his sword due to lack of confidence, and is sentenced to execution]]. After a CoolDownHug from Shiemi, he's a-okay, though!
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: A constant struggle for him as he never wants to become a true monster himself.
* HiddenDepths: He's an [[SupremeChef amazing cook]]. ''[[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood A-ma-zing]]''.
* HotBlooded
* {{Immortality}}: Type III. He's got the HealingFactor down pat, and the lack of aging can be inferred [[spoiler:from the fact that Mephisto Pheles, another Son of Satan, has served the organization for over 200 years yet looks no older than thirty]].
* IdiotHero: Especially compared to Yukio, who's also his ''professor''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* LaserGuidedTykebomb: Is kept alive just to become a weapon to destroy Satan. [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] since the ones who were raising him were good guys, and most of them had the good sense to be nice to him about it.
* MeaningfulName: The kanji for Rin's name, 燐, means [[IncendiaryExponent "Phosphorus"]].
** In addition, the Greek word for phosphorus, Φωσφόρος , literally means "light-bearer." In Latin, this is "lucem ferre," more commonly shortened to ''[[TheDevil Lucifer.]]''
* PointyEars
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Yukio's blue.
* ScrewDestiny: Doesn't care about being a demon or [[spoiler:a [[LaserGuidedTykebomb tykebomb]]]]--every time the subject is brought up, he just [[JumpedAtTheCall yells that he will become an exorcist]].
* SiblingTriangle: With Yukio towards Shiemi.
* SiblingYinYang: With Yukio.
* [[{{Satan}} Son Of Satan]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] -- he can somewhat control his flames, but the longer he stays with his sword drawn, the more he loses control of himself. As shown in Chapter 14, he can completely stop acting like a human.
* SuperStrength: Shown to have this.
* SupremeChef
* ShonenUpgrade: {{Subverted}}, as Rin has had his powers all along. All he needs is to unlock (and learn to control) them all.
* TechnicolorFire: It's blue
** Fire becomes blue if it hits high enough temperatures, so it's TruthInTelevision.
* {{Telepathy}}: He and Kuro are able to communicate using telepathy. He's able to read Kuro's thoughts, though it remains to be seen how his range of this communication goes with other demons.
** In the anime, his hearing of demon's language extends to Ukobach too.
* TigerVersusDragon: The tiger to Bon's dragon.
* ToBeAMaster: Rin desires to be like Shiro and become the highest class Exorcist. While not his only goal, it is a major one.
* {{Tsundere}}: An adorable mild version.
* {{Tsurime Eyes}}
* WellDoneSonGuy: To Yukio. Ironically, Yukio has always envied his tougher, more confident brother [[spoiler:which makes him more susceptible to the dark side.]]
* WreathedInFlames: When he draws on his demonic powers.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: It is a show called Blue Exorcist after all. Considering he glows blue flames and is half-demon, It's probably justified.

* BigLittleBrother: Sort of. He's extremely smart (got the top score in his incoming class), tall, very handsome and a well accomplished Middle First Class Exorcist at 15 years old. Compare him to his older, shorter, [[BookDumb less brilliant]] twin, Rin, who's only an [=ExWire=] currently.

* [[spoiler: DemonicPossession: In the Anime, by his [[{{Satan}} Father]].]]
* {{Foil}}: To Rin, he has the brains and maturity, but is missing out on Rin's friendly extroverted personality.
* [[spoiler:FreakOut]]: [[spoiler: Following an arduous battle with [[ManipulativeBastard Toudou]], Toudou regenerates from pieces on the ground and grabs him with a disembodied hand telling Yukio that [[BrokenAce his self-loathing]] is the first step to becoming a demon, and that [[RageBreakingPoint Yukio's true nature is a demon]].

* IllGirl
** UnexplainedRecovery
* LoveTriangle: She is [[BettyAndVeronica the Archie]] in the SiblingTriangle between Rin and Yukio, and she is [[BettyAndVeronica the Betty]] in a love triangle with Izumo for Rin.
* LuminescentBlush: In the manga, Shiemi blushes in almost every panel she's in.
* NiceGirl: She really likes being helpful to others.
* NoSocialSkills: In the manga, she thought that Rin not telling her that [[spoiler: he was the son of Satan]] meant that she wasn't a good trustworthy friend. Needless to say, she took it pretty personally.

* HotBlooded
* ItsPersonal: Against Satan, for wrecking his family's temple and scaring many people away from it, who believed it to be a cursed place.

* {{Familiar}}s: Has a pair of very powerful foxes who almost killed her when they saw [[BreakTheHaughty she wasn't as strong as she seemed]].
* HimeCut: Keeps it in pigtails, though.
* FriendlessBackground: Happened due to being the only one who could see demons and such.
* IceQueen
** DefrostingIceQueen
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While rather rude and blunt to those around her, she's also a genuinely good girl. She encourages Shiemi (in her own way) when the latter has given up and is the first to defend Rin (and for a while, the only one to stand by his side) when it's revealed that he's the son of Satan and all his other friends are uneasy around him.
* KindheartedCatLover: When no one's around of course.
* PerpetualFrowner
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Not exactly evil, just prideful.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Shiemi's girly girl. Although she's not that tomboyish...

* ChivalrousPervert: Takes every opportunity he can to flirt with a female.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: If the merchandise has anything to say about it. This guy is snuck into [[http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-53150 pictures]] alongside more central characters of the show when his fellow companions who've arguably been given more focus, Bon and Konekomaru, are nowhere in sight! There's even an [[http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-54616 official letter set]] where he appears more often than the main character, for some reason.
* LovableCoward: Contemplates running away most of the time. If he does run, he never fails to come back for his friends.
* NunTooHoly
* [[RoseHairedGirl Rose-Haired Guy]]: Much to his father's chagrin.
** Subverted that it's just dyed but fits the trope otherwise.

Chairman of the True Cross Academy who, after Fujimoto died, was ordered to kill Rin. However, he accepted Rin's proposal in becoming an Exorcist and entered him into True Cross Academy. Can turn into a dog. [[spoiler:He's also another Son of Satan, making him Rin's half-brother.]]
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Of eye color variety. He has {{blue eyes}} in the manga and {{green eyes}} in the anime.
* TheChessmaster[=/=]GuileHero[=/=]ManipulativeBastard: Depending on who he's really working for (other than himself), Mephisto is shaping up to be one of these. [[BewareTheSillyOnes Pity the guys on the other side.]]
* DevilInPlainSight: He may be a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] though. After all, while he certainly ''is'' a [[spoiler:son of Satan]], he was also close friends with [[BadassPreacher Fujimoto]] and is one of the good guys right now. Technically, at least. See ForTheEvulz below.
* EccentricMentor: If Mephisto really ''is'' on the side of the Exorcists, then he is this. Older than most of other characters? Check. Knows more than he lets on most of the time? Check. Usually acts like comic relief? Check. Eccentric? Double check. Cares not for what others may think? Considering [[VillainousFashionSense his fashion sense]], probably check. Acts like a mentor/protector/guide? Check, to his students and school. More powerful than he shows? Considering he was able to [[spoiler:drag a [[BerserkMode berserker]] Rin around [[ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask while calmly sheathing his sword and pleasantly talking to someone]],]] that would most likely be a ''check''[[hottip:*:He hasn't been in a legitimate fight yet, though, so it's yet to be confirmed]]. Seems to prefer letting his students solve problems by themselves? Mostly check, with him [[GuileHero making a few nudges here and there]]. He seems to fit this trope very well but then, if he's not on the side he claims to be on, he may be a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]].
* {{Familiar}}: Has two different ones so far. One is Ukobach, a demon who, as shown in the anime, cooks food for Rin and Yukio. The other is apparently disguised as [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mephito_4223.jpg his umbrella]] most of the time.
* ForTheEvulz: (Or is it for the goodz?) His reason for being the leader of the side that wants to take down [[spoiler:his dad]] is because he's bored.
* FunSize: His dog form.
* GratuitousGerman: While it is the correct usage, he gratuitously uses "eins, zwei, drei" occasionally, which simply means "one, two, three". He has also used two spells called "Kuchen Cuckoo House" (''kuchen'' being the German word for "cake", used in other languages to describe various other sweets) and "Das Stärkste Gefängnis", meaning "the Strongest Prison". This is possibly justified in that his namesake originates from German folklore.
* HellishPupils
* IdiotHair: [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mephito_4223.jpg And how.]] It's hidden under the hat.
* TheInsomniac: The tankobon claims he has one hour of sleep a night.

* PublicDomainCharacter: In the anime continuity, at least, where it's made explicit that he is the very same Mephistopheles who contracted with Faust in the original folktale. In the manga, this remains to be seen.

* AdultChild
* {{Badass}}: An Upper First-Class exorcist trained personally by [[BadassPreacher Father Fujimoto]]. She basically kicks ass every time she draws her sword. Even [[GuileHero Meph]][[MagnificentBastard isto]] takes her seriously when she starts to (perhaps unknowingly) mess with his plans a little. For Mephisto, this is definitely saying something as he doesn't seem to take things seriously 98% of the time.
* BoobsOfSteel
* BottleFairy: She even drinks ''on the job'', if presented with the opportunity.
* BrilliantButLazy: She avoided promotions to be near Fujimoto, who she also considered as her father; however she really is ''that'' lazy and ''that'' gifted, which infuriates Yukio to no end.
* CaptainErsatz: Yoko from GurrenLagann. Red hair in a ponytail, long weapon strapped to her back, bikini and booty shorts uniform, tough attitude, big boobs & big boots.? C'mon.

When Yuri said she dreamed of a world where demons and humans could live together, she didn't mean that you should [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt turn Assiah into a wasteland in the process]].

* BewareTheSillyOnes
* BigOlEyebrows

* AffablyEvil: He is always very polite, even when he [[spoiler:betrays both the exorcists and Mamushi.]] In fact, he arguably became even more polite ''after'' he revealed himself to be evil.
* BatmanGambit: Pulls one off by [[spoiler:obtaining both demon eyes through a bit of [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] and [[TricksterArchetype trickery]], then using them to deliberately awaken the [[SealedEvilinaCan Impure King]]. He knew that this would cause Tatsuma to show up and try to defeat the Impure King using his familiar Kurara.

** [[spoiler: Second one: In their next confrontation, Saburota says that Yukio's father and brother are what have defined his paths in life and that he had no real choice in his path, leading him to despise his brother for having no idea what agony he went through.

** [[spoiler: THIRD one: Following his discovery of Yukio's [[OccultBlueEyes blue eyes]] (after almost killing the kid) and after Yukio thought Saburota was destroyed, [[FromASingleCell Saburota regenerates]] and comments that self-loathing is the first step to becoming a demon and that Yukio's true nature is that of a demon.

He seemed like an incompetent, but reasonably brave and decent, guy. And then it turns out it was all an act. He had in fact already turned traitor and only exposed himelf as TheMole in the chapter in which he was introduced. He has since shown considerable [[NotSoHarmless competence]] and [[BatmanGambit cunning]]. He is now [[ManipulativeBastard one to watch out for.]]
* StalkerWithoutACrush: In his own words, [[spoiler:[[VillainTakesAnInterest he is "very interested" in Yukio]].]]
* StartOfDarkness: He described his. He wanted to be like his father and brother, but was discontent with living a life he felt was shaped by others. Ultimately he became a demon and is working for his own goals.

The newly appointed Paladin. Angel follows the orders of the Vatican to a T. He'll do so even knowing full well that his actions are immoral in the eyes of others. Very little is known about his past.

* BadassLongHair
* BigDamnHeroes: In episode 25.
* {{BFS}}: Caliburn. [[TalkingWeapon And it talks too!]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Shura calls him "a saint on the outside and a devil on the inside". He's also shown shades of a sadistic personality.
* CurbStompBattle: Both on the delivering and receiving ends. He easily manages to subdue both Rin and Shura, but when Amaimon went into an UnstoppableRage, he was almost immediately knocked out.
* FantasticRacism: In the anime, "for the kin of Satan, just being alive is a sin!"
** In the manga, referring to Mephisto, "his kind specializes in deceit!"
* HonorBeforeReason: As of episode 24, he's admitted to realizing that the Vatican is going in the wrong direction, but he refuses to betray them and will still follow his orders.
* LawfulStupid: Arthur will follow the orders of his superiors, without question, even knowing that they may obstruct some people's good intentions.
* TalkingWeapon: Again, Caliburn.

So far only seen in the anime, he is grandfather to [[spoiler: Rin and Yukio.]] First seen during the Blue Night in episode one and having lost his daughter, [[spoiler: Rin and Yukio's mother]] to a witch hunt [[spoiler: that was nothing more than a political stunt by the Grigori in order to gain power]], he has good reasons for his prejudice against all things demon, as well as some ill will towards members of the [[ChurchMilitant True Cross Order.]]
----
* BlatantLies: "Destroying Gehena will [[spoiler: turn (Rin) back into a normal human."]] That is, if [[spoiler: opening the gate to Gehena doesn't kill him.]]
** [[spoiler: the Grigori were the ones that burnt Yuri as a witch.]]
* ChurchMilitant: The True Cross Order was always this, but after he's appointed as [[spoiler: the new Pope]] he [[UpToEleven brings it up to eleven]] by allowing "holy weapons" that are basically enchanted sub-machine guns ''to be used by high school students.''
* EvilLaugh: As seen in episode 23.
* FantasticRacism: Towards demons.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Why he has to wear a mask.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: VERY extreme. Even willing to kill [[spoiler: his own grandson]] through an ''extremely'' painful [[ReligionIsMagic magical/religious]] ritual in order to "win the war against Gehena."
!Yuri Egin
The mother of Rin and Yukio, who died shortly after giving birth to them. [[spoiler:In the Anime, she was regarded as the "Witch of the Forest", living with demons and being possessed willingly by Satan. Her father ordered her [[BurnTheWitch Burned at the stake]], which resulted in the Blue Night.]]
