[[folder:The Rose Knights]]
!Anis (Anise) Yamamoto
-> Played by: Creator/AyaHirano (drama [=CD=])
Anis is an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who, one day, loses her rose choker against her father's will. On the same day, she learns that she is a Rose Princess bound to four other knights who will carry out her bidding. She can use SummonMagic with any four cards to summon her knights, but allowing them to use their powers will use up her blood source.
Anis is ''not'' excited about this at first, but begins seeing her knights as her friends and becomes the {{Determinator}} to help them out.
* CelibateHero: Anis refuses to have a relationship with any of her knights, but that doesn't stop the knights from actively pursuing her.
* DamselOutOfDistress: Anis isn't usually the one in danger -- she's the one sending in her knights to get business done!
* {{Determinator}}: Anis is determined to protect her friends and see her plans through so that they won't have to suffer from the Rosette Contract anymore.
* [[spoiler:ObliviousAdoption: Anis is the daughter of the previous White Rose Knight and the "Holy Mother" of the Tenjou family. Her mother tried to sneak her out of the church to her lover, Schwartz, in an attempt to ScrewDestiny. This would also make Anis distant cousins with Tenjou.]]
* PluckyGirl: Anis is very brave and keeps the group together when they're discouraged.
* RoseHairedSweetie: Anis has pink hair and is the emotional support of the group.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Her character description states that she wants to have a cool boyfriend someday.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Anis's name is officially romanized as "Anis" in the ''Jewel's Rose'' artbook. Prior to that, fans romanized her name as "Anise" or "Agnes." Creator/VizMedia went with "Anise" on their translations.
* SummonMagic: Anis can summon any one of her four knights by kissing the card of their respective color.
* TakingTheBullet: Anis performs a HeroicSacrifice to protect Seiran from one of Shiden's deadly attacks. She survives, but only barely.
* {{Tsundere}}: She's a type B (more sweet than prickly) unless it comes to Kaede or Tenjou.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Anis is afraid of thunder, and also lists some of her fears as fires, earthquakes, and her father.
!Tropes that apply to all the Rose Knights:
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: The Rhode Knights are supposed to do this by contract, but they (especially Kaede) have admitted that even if they weren't knights, they would do it anyway.
* BodyguardCrush: All of them are sworn to protect Anis and all of them are in love with her.
* LadyAndKnight: All of the Rhode Knights have a Lady and Knight relationship with Anis, but Mutsuki carries out this dynamic the closest.
* UndyingLoyalty: They will all serve her whims no matter what.
* UnwantedHarem: Anis entertains herself with the idea of men serving her, but she soon grows stressed from the complications that all four of them are competing for her affection and repeatedly affirms them that she has feels for none.
!Kaede Higa
-> Played by: Creator/YuuichiNakamura (drama [=CD=])
Kaede is the Knight of the Red Rose and Anis's classmate with whom she [[BelligerentSexualTension frequently]] [[SlapSlapKiss bickers]]. His family runs a shrine. His abilities are mainly centered on attacks, and he can draw a CoolSword to fight.
* AmIJustAToyToYou: Kaede reacts like this to Anis when she gives him his stage one (and stage two) awakening, feeling as though she only sees him as a knight and nothing more.
* TheConfidant: Kaede is the only knight Anis feels comfortable telling all her problems to, and often calls on him the most (usually to do menial tasks).
* CoolSword: Kaede specializes in attack techniques and can draw out a sword.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: When Kaede tries to bring Seiran back with ThePowerOfFriendship, Seiran tearfully thanks... Anis instead.
* TheEveryman: Kaede is the most "average" and "plain"-looking guy, according to Anis.
* [[spoiler:FirstGuyWins: He eventually wins out on the LoveDodecahedron.]]
* FlowerMotifs: Kaede is represented by the red rose, which stands for love.
* GreenEyedEpiphany: In chapter 20, Kaede recalls Anis giving Tenjou is first awakening and becomes jealous over it, eventually realizing it's because of his feelings for her.
* InSeriesNickname: Whenever Anis is upset or flustered at Kaede, she calls him "Bakaede" (a combination of "baka", meaning "idiot", and his name). Mutsuki and Tenjou refer to him as a "dog."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kaede argues with Anis a lot, but he really cares about her.
* ShirtlessScene: In the aftermath of the Haruto arc, Anis summons Kaede. This happens right after he's taken a shower, so he appears on her veranda shirtless, causing her to give him her hoodie in a combination of YouMustBeCold and PleasePutSomeClothesOn.
* SkewedPriorities: Kaede is more worried about the fact that Mutsuki stole Anis's SacredFirstKiss than he is concerned that [[spoiler:Mutsuki did a FaceHeelTurn]]. Granted that the only knight he actually cares about is Seiran, but still.
* WasItAllALie: Kaede reacts like this when he finds out the truth about Seiran.
!Mitsuru Tenjou
-> Played by: Creator/HiroshiKamiya (drama [=CD=])
Tenjou is the Knight of the White Rose and the president of the student council at Shoubi Academy. He is the most popular boy in school and his rather wealthy family runs a church. Anis is initially smitten with him until she finds out about his [[LargeHam real]] [[TooKinkyToTorture personality]]. Unlike Kaede, his abilities are defensive. He can create shields or heal the other knights when they are in critical condition.
* BigFancyHouse: Tenjou's family is wealthy and he naturally lives in a mansion. It's so large that Anis, Kaede, and Seiran get lost in it -- ''twice''.
* BigManOnCampus: Tenjou is the most popular boy in school.
* BishieSparkle: Tenjou emits these on a daily basis.
* ChickMagnet: Hundreds of girls follow him every day.
* ChivalrousPervert: Tenjou will save Anis and the next day he'll go on long speeches about how much he loves her, even when she's mean to him.
* CostumePorn: Tenjou has elaborate clothing and, in one side story, states that he has a collection just so he could show them off to Anis.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Tenjou also has a very large following in his {{Fanboy}}s, the biggest one being the vice president of the student council.
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: Tenjou turns out to be working for the church his family runs the entire time and kidnaps Anis to force her into ascend his final awakening to obtain his full powers.]]
* FlowerMotifs: Tenjou is represented by the white rose, which stands for innocence.
* KissingCousins: [[spoiler:Tenjou and Anis are distant cousins, but that doesn't stop him from going after her.]]
* LargeHam: Oh, so very much. He reacts dramatically to everything.
* LastNameBasis: Everyone except for Mutsuki calls Tenjou by his last name.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Whenever Tenjou isn't speaking like a LargeHam, you know something's up.
* OneHundredAndEight: In a side story, Tenjou prepared 108 outfits just to wear for Anis.
* [[spoiler:PuppetKing: Tenjou is used by his church to take the full powers of the White Rose Knight. ThePuppetCutsHisStrings later on when Anis and the other knights get through to him with ThePowerOfFriendship.]]
* SchoolIdol: Tenjou is very popular and idolized by girls. It's to the point that it's very difficult to meet him up close if you're not in his class.
* StalkerShrine: Tenjou has an entire room filled with pictures of Anis, much to her displeasure.
* TooKinkyToTorture: He's devoted to Anis so much that he not only doesn't mind if she hits him, but actually ''encourages'' it!
!Seiran Asagi
-> Played by: Creator/JunFukuyama (drama [=CD=])
Seiran is the Knight of the Blue Rose and is known around campus for his androgynous beauty. He is Kaede's ChildhoodFriend and is allergic to roses. His specialties are alchemy, creating potions, and research.
* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman:]] [[spoiler:There was tons of {{Foreshadowing}} that blue is not a natural rose color. As true as that statement is, so is the fact that Seiran is a three-year-old homunculus.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: He's very popular in school for his androgynous good looks.
* {{Bookworm}}
** BadassBookworm
** CuteBookworm
* CantCatchUp: Seiran is summoned the least, awakened the last (for stage two), and doesn't fight very often. He's only fought one-on-one twice in the course of the series, and was defeated both times. It's because of this he feels very inferior to the rest of his fellow knights.
* CutenessProximity: Anis can't help but find Seiran adorable whenever she gets near him.
* DraggedIntoDrag: Seiran crossdresses in a dance party in chapter 28 just so he can partner up with Kaede to pull him away from Mikage.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Seiran is often described as being "so cute he could pass off for a girl."
* EleventhHourSuperpower: Seiran receives his stage two awakening in the ''final chapter'' of the series.
* [[spoiler:FakeMemories: Seiran was never Kaede's ChildhoodFriend like he was made to believe. He created these memories with his hallucinogen-inducing roses so that he could fit in with human society more easily.]]
* FlowerMotifs: Seiran is represented by the blue rose, which stands for miracles/the impossible.
* GrenadeSpam: His main source of attacks are explosives.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Seiran has made it clear that he's okay if Anis doesn't return his feelings, just as long as she smiles, and he seems to be okay with the idea of Kaede getting together with her.
* IllBoy: He's introduced as this, but it turns out he just only has an allergy to roses, which he's usually around at home.
* ItsAllMyFault: He blames himself for getting Anis fatally injured when he looks for an Arcana Card by himself.
* TheLoad: Since Seiran doesn't fight often, he worries about his usefulness to Anis.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Seiran states in a monologue that he fell in love with Anis at first sight.
* LoveConfession: Seiran gives one to Anis right when she tells him how important he is to her, unlocking his stage one awakening.
* {{Muggle}}: Unlike the other knights, Seiran's attacks are not magic-based (possibly to match that he's [[spoiler:an ArtificialHuman]]).
* NiceGuy: Seiran is very pleasant to those around him.
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:Seiran exists to be used as a sacrifice to restore the seal on the gate to the demon lord.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Seiran tries to get Kaede to be more open about his feelings and conscious about Anis's. This also counts as IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy -- if Anis gets together with Kaede, then she'll be happy, and if Anis is happy, so is Seiran.
* RaisedByGrandparents: [[spoiler:It's all part of his FakeMemories to make sure he integrates in society without trouble.]]
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:The Blue Rose Knight was created specifically to take the spot the Yellow Rose Knight had vacated. In other words, Seiran was created specifically to replace Haruto.]]
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Seiran's contributions to the team includes making chemicals (ranging from explosions to medicine to alchemy) and research. He rarely uses any of his abilities except in filler arcs and for comical scenes. What makes it worse is that Itsushi is already MrExposition, giving less importance to his role as the researcher, and Tenjou is already the designated healer of the group, so the knights don't need to rely on him for energy restoration.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has blue hair.
!Mutsuki Kurama[[spoiler:/Quess]]
-> Played by: Creator/KenjiroTsuda (drama [=CD=])
Mutsuki is the Knight of the Black Rose and has a bad reputation at Shoubi Academy because of the numerous unpleasant rumors about him. Mysterious and harsh, he initially disapproves of Anis being his Rose Princess, but eventually warms up to her.
Mutsuki is the last living remainder of the Dark Stalker species and has the advantages of flight and searching in the dark. His specialties as a knight include searching and seizing. He uses strings to fight.
* AngstComa: Mutsuki was asleep for 200 years prior to Tenjou finding his coffin [[spoiler:after allegedly killing his brother]].
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Tenjou says that since the first Rose Princess and the first Black Knight became a couple, there is destiny between Anis and Mutsuki. Mutsuki was also told by his brother to claim the Rose Princess, but he meant his lover -- therefore he is determined to make a move on Anis when the time is right because she's the one he loves.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He doesn't remember much of it at first, but oh, yes. [[spoiler:Being forced to kill your older brother can do a number on you.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: Mutsuki's thematic color scheme and powers are based off of darkness, but he's loyal to Anis.
* DefrostingIceKing: Mutsuki disapproves of Anis being his Rose Princess but later warms up to her.
* DramaticKiss: He steals Anis' first kiss when he shields her from a thunderstorm.
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: Mutsuki breaks free from Anis's control and joins Yocteau later on in the series. This actually turned out to be a FakeDefector plan thought up by Tenjou and himself, so he could get close to Yocteau and defeat him.]]
* FlowerMotifs: Mutsuki is represented by the black rose, which stands for bitterness.
* HeyYou: Mutsuki starts out by calling Anis "you", but over time begins calling her by her first name.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mutsuki is reluctant to help Anis at first, but sees through her orders.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Mutsuki doesn't remember very much about his past. He doesn't mind, and would rather be continued to be called "Mutsuki" rather than his real name, because he prefers being who he is right now.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Mutsuki is a Dark Stalker, not one of those "fabricated urban legends" known as vampires, as he'd correct you.
* PointyEars: Mutsuki's ears more noticeably more pointy than the rest of the cast.
* TheStoic: He doesn't show very much emotion.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Mutsuki is icy to Anis at first, but becomes more sugary when he begins to respect her.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Mutsuki may have repressed the memories of his past from being forced to kill his older brother.]]
* WhenHeSmiles: In one instance, Mutsuki smiles at Anis, causing her to be surprised.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Other Characters at Shoubi Academy]]
!Itsushi Narumi
-> Played by: Creator/TakahiroMizushima (drama [=CD=])

* IdolSinger: Rhodecia consists of two newly debuted pop singers.
* IllBoy: Idel suffered from this when he was younger, but has gotten slightly better after [[spoiler:Yakou donated one of his kidneys to him]]. Both are now physically weak, especially as their Fake Knight powers are drawn from their own blood. Yakou, unfortunately, gets the worst of it.
* NewTransferStudent: When they first appear, both are new students at Shoubi Academy.
* ShirtlessScene: [[http://www.turtle-paradise.net/reader/barajou_no_kiss/20/27/ Oh, yes.]]
* WildCard: Idel and Yakou are in the battle just for themselves and have made it clear they neither side with Anis nor with the other Fake Knights.

[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Fake Knights]]
!Haruto Kisugi
-> Played by: Creator/MamoruMiyano (drama [=CD=])
Haruto Kisugi is Anis's ChildhoodFriend who became a NewTransferStudent from Osaka. He is also the Knight of the Yellow Rose, who was part of the original knight line-up prior to his FaceHeelTurn.

* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Haruto is determined to take revenge on the rest of the Rhode Knights as the Yellow Rose, and is continuously urged by the Yellow Rose from 200 years ago to do so.

Anis is an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who, one day, loses her rose choker against her father's will. On the same day, she learns that she is a Rose Princess bound to four other knights who will carry out her bidding.

* [[spoiler:ObliviousAdoption: Anis is the daughter of the previous White Rose Knight and the "Holy Mother" of the Tenjou family. Her mother tried to sneak her out of the church to her lover, Schwartz, in an attempt to ScrewDestiny. This would also make Anis distant cousins with Tenjou.]]

-> Played by: Creator/JunFukuyama (drama [=CD=])
Seiran is the Knight of the Blue Rose and is known around campus for his androgynous beauty. He is Kaede's ChildhoodFriend and is allergic to roses. His specialties are alchemy, creating potions, and research.
* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman:]] [[spoiler:There was tons of {{Foreshadowing}} that blue is not a natural rose color. As true as that statement is, so is the fact that Seiran is a three-year-old homunculus.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: He's very popular in school for his androgynous good looks.
* {{Bookworm}}
** BadassBookworm
** CuteBookworm
* CantCatchUp: Seiran is summoned the least, awakened the last (for stage two), and doesn't fight very often. He's only fought one-on-one twice in the course of the series, and was defeated both times. It's because of this he feels very inferior to the rest of his fellow knights.
* CutenessProximity: Anis can't help but find Seiran adorable whenever she gets near him.
* DraggedIntoDrag: Seiran crossdresses in a dance party in chapter 28 just so he can partner up with Kaede to pull him away from Mikage.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Seiran is often described as being "so cute he could pass off for a girl."
* EleventhHourSuperpower: Seiran receives his stage two awakening in the ''final chapter'' of the series.

* GrenadeSpam: His main source of attacks are explosives.

* LoveConfession: Seiran gives one to Anis right when she tells him how important he is to her, unlocking his stage one awakening.

* NiceGuy: Seiran is very pleasant to those around him.
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:Seiran exists to be used as a sacrifice to restore the seal on the gate to the demon lord.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Seiran tries to get Kaede to be more open about his feelings and conscious about Anis's. This also counts as IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy -- if Anis gets together with Kaede, then she'll be happy, and if Anis is happy, so is Seiran.
* RaisedByGrandparents: [[spoiler:It's all part of his FakeMemories to make sure he integrates in society without trouble.]]
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:The Blue Rose Knight was created specifically to take the spot the Yellow Rose Knight had vacated. In other words, Seiran was created specifically to replace Haruto.]]
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Seiran's contributions to the team includes making chemicals (ranging from explosions to medicine to alchemy) and research. He rarely uses any of his abilities except in filler arcs and for comical scenes. What makes it worse is that Itsushi is already MrExposition, giving less importance to his role as the researcher, and Tenjou is already the designated healer of the group, so the knights don't need to rely on him for energy restoration.

* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Tenjou says that since the first Rose Princess and the first Black Knight became a couple, there is destiny between Anis and Mutsuki.
