The wielder of the Dragonic scythe of shadow, Ezendeis, and the lord of the Osterode territory in the Zhcted Kingdom.

The most mysterious of the Vanadis, Valentina is the type that shows a sweet, gentle, smile on the outside, but is actually cunning and manipulative on the inside. In addition, Valentina has within her the royal blood of the Zchted nobility, and will go to any length to make her wish to become the queen of Zhcted a reality. Her ambition prompts her to initiate, and put down, a civil war in the Zhcted Kingdom in an attempt to raise her reputation, and status, for when the time comes to take the throne for herself.

Tigre's home country and the primary setting for the first and fourth arc.

Tigre's home country and the primary setting for the first and fifth arc.

Brune's prince perished in battle against Zhcted, throwing the country into turmoil and causing the king to withdraw from public affairs out of grief. With succession in doubt, the country's two strongest dukes, Duke Ganelon and Duke Thenardier, prepare to claim to the throne, after one defeats the other in bloody civil war. That is, until Duke Thenardier's attempt to make an example of Alsace fails dramatically, and a third faction arises to demand justice, aided by the same Zhcted forces that slew the prince in the first place.

The Zhcted Kingdom, located east of Brune, is an empire that allows for each of its territories to work on their own agenda so long as they put the well-being of their kingdom first on the list. Zhcted gets involved in the unrest going on in Brune after one of their lords protects a Brune territory from their own people, and help create the third Brune faction to end its civil war. In addition, Zhcted becomes the setting for the third story arc after the main character takes the role of a servant to one of Zhcted's lords.

The setting for the second story arc and the kingdom west of Sachstein, Asvarre was thrown into chaos shortly after the death of its king put the throne up for grabs. As a result, a civil war breaks out between the king's children after the eldest tried to take the kingdom for himself. The main character is sent there on a secret mission to help put an end to the war in an attempt to forge an alliance between Zhcted (the kingdom he is currently working for) and Asvarre.

The militaristic kingdom west of Brune. Hostile to Brune and Asvarre, Sachstein regularly attacks their neighbors borders for signs of weakness. However, due to the deaths of several key figures in Brune, Sachstein finally goes on the offensive, and launches an invasion on Brune; establishing the fourth story arc.

The various characters of LightNovel/MadanNoOuToVanadis.[[note]]Has a majority of the characters from the first 10 Light Novels; requiring expansion for the later ones.[[/note]]

Tigre's home country and the primary setting for the first arc.

* AmnesiacDissonance: This happens to Tigre from [[spoiler:Volume 8 to Volume 10]] as he lives in [[spoiler:Lebus]] as the youth Urz under [[spoiler:Elizavetta's]] service. He grows to care for her and his life in [[spoiler:Lebus]], and even as his memories as Tigre begin to resurface he remains uncertain if he wants to regain his old identity.

* TheArcher: Tigre's specialty. In fact, he's not skilled with anything other than a bow and arrow.

* {{Badass}}: Despite using a bow only, Tigre is so highly skilled that it caught a Vanadis' attention. He even slew an EARTH DRAGON with just a bow at a young age.
** EmpoweredBadassNormal: ''Every shot he makes'' is thanks to his skill. The black bow only enhances the shots ''firepower''.
* BerserkButton: Tigre when it comes to seeing anyone go through what the citizens of Alsace had to, as shown during the Asvarre civil war in Volume 6.
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: The reaction of Rim when Ellen's ''talk'' about his "awesomeness" after she saw him naked happened, and when Sophia ''touched'' him while bathing.

* TheDragonslayer: In the past, Tigre slayed an Earth Dragon with just a bow. Does this in the present during the Brune civil war as well.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The black bow that Tigre uses can shoot an arrow that can pierce through anything. However, this technique also makes Tigre [[CastFromHP tired]]. In fact, his predecessor who used the bow ended up ''dying'' because he used his life to fire off a shot.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: This is somewhat [[{{InvertedTrope}} inverted]]. While most of the men do fight in close quarters, the main character, Tigre, fights exclusively with a bow, and the female Vanadis who surround him fight exclusively with close combat weapons such as swords, spears and staffs.
* HappinessInSlavery: More of a prisoner of war, but Tigre did enjoy the attention he got from his bow skill, and all the time he could sleep.

* HorseArcher: Despite being a commander of the Silver Meteor Army, is often on horseback when commanding the troops and fighting with his bow.
* HumbleHero: Despite all the accomplishments that he has done, he'd rather just be at Alsace in peace, going so far as rejecting any of King Victor's rewards in volume 11. King Victor calls him out on this in that too much humility could make people think he's actually just pretending and is actually a GlorySeeker since Tigre is a noble, a war hero in at least two wars, and has befriended most of the Vanadis which is an accomplishment in and of itself.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Tigre ''will'' hit his target no matter what. Even if he's just using a flimsy bow after only practicing with it with two shots.

* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Titta despite Titta wanting more.

* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler: Tigre and Duke Thenardier's duel consists of nothing but this. Tigre's motivation is for the latter's orders to raze Alsace and inadvertently killing Bertran, while Duke Thenardier's motivation is for killing his son and his closest aide.]]
* MageMarksman: When combine with his Black Bow and the Vanadias Dragon Tool.
* MistressAndServantBoy: He is the servant to Ellen's mistress. He then later becomes this to Liza as well.
* NiceGuy: Tigre's benevolence and generosity is the reason for his popularity to his people.
* OceanAwe: [[{{PlayingWithATrope}} Played With]]. While Tigre never had an overwhelming fascination with the sea or desire to see it; upon doing so in Volume 6, he is struck speechless for a half hour.
* OddFriendship: Forms one with Damad despite the latter having been tasked with a mission to kill Tigre.
* OutdoorBathPeeping: How Tigre first met Sophia by accident.
* [[OutsideContextVillain Outside Context Hero]]: Not only does Tigre's superlative archery skills allow him to make shots impossible for just about anyone else, he also hails from a country known for its contempt of the bow as a weapon. Thus he blindsides a lot of enemies and manages to kill a lot of commanders by sniping them from what they believe to be a safe distance.

* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard not to give away that Tigre [[spoiler:ends up with amnesia]] since it spans the course of almost three entire light novels.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: The question on the lips of many people after Ellen takes him prisoner (usually she just kills people) and goes to war for him. [[spoiler:The answer is that he's the first male to match her in any of the arts of war since she became a Vanadis.]]

Tigre's housemaid of the Vorn manor, and his childhood friend.

Titta looks after Tigre's well-being due to a promise she made with Tigre's late father to take care of his son. Upon learning that Tigre had becoming a prisoner-of-war for one of the Zchted Vanadis, Titta joins the Silver Meteor Army; continuing her role as Tigre's loyal maid.

* ACupAngst: Her feelings toward the other Vanadis are a form of jealousy due to their amazing bodies.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Titta was possessed by the Death Goddess, Tir na Fa, when she and Tigre suddenly stumbled on her temple. She was possessed because she comes from a long line of priestess who served Tir na fa in the past. The Goddess spoke through her and tested Tigre to see how far he would go for power.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty, to Ellen's Veronica, for Tigre Archie.
* TheCaretaker: Her role as Tigre's maid.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Whenever Tiger is around other girls, Titta ends up taking Tigre away from them

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Titta found out that Tigre became a prisoner of war, Titta became more worried more about Tigre being forced to marry to someone then getting sold off as a slave.

* {{Maid}} / {{Meido}}: Titta became a maid to remain by Tigre's side.
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Tigre, even joining an army just to be by his side.

* OlderThanTheyLook: When he meets Tigre and company, he is described to be old and wrinkly despite being incredibly young.

!!Drekavac
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/18_drekavac_1866.jpg

A fortuneteller, and one of Duke Thenardier's most loyal subordinates.

Drekavac is the key as to why Thenardier's army is so overwhelmingly powerful; training several types of dragons to make up the the firepower of Thenardier's forces. He also seems to have knowledge regarding the black bow that is currently in Tigre's possession.

* TheBeastmaster: Trains dragons as a means to power up Thenardier's army.
* DevilInDisguise: While we have yet to see it, it is implied heavily that he ''is'' one.
* FortuneTeller: His implied occupation when he's not working for Thenardier.

!!Vodyanoy

A man that works under Drekavac.

He is actually a frog demon that knows about the black bow Tigre wields. Vodyanoy tries to kidnap Tigre to learn more about the man who wields the bow, but ends up losing in a fight against him and Mira; forcing Vodyanoy to retreat. He returns later on to act as a roadblock to keep Ellen away from Baba Yaga's fight with Liza and Urz (Tigre).

* CharacterTics: Carries around a bag of gold coins to chew on.
* DevilInDisguise: A frog demon that disguises himself as a human.
* TheDragon: While he ''does'' technically work under Thenardier, he's Drekavac's right-hand man.
* OverlyLongTongue: Being a frog demon, this is a given.
* PragmaticAdaptation: The anime skips over his fight with Tigre and Mira. However, when you look at it from the anime's perspective, which will only be adapting the Brune arc, Vodyanoy's fight would have felt completely out of place as the demon lore only starts to expand further out after the Brune civil war concludes.

!!Steid

Duke Thenardier's right-hand man, and the strategist of Thenardier's army.

----

* TheDragon: To Thenardier as his right-hand man.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]: [[spoiler:Dies in Volume 5 to a cave-in]].
* TheStrategist: For Thenardier's army.

!!Charon Anquetil Gleast
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/23_gleast_2281.jpg

Duke Ganelon's right-hand man; always seen conversing with Ganelon towards their future goal.

Gleast comes before the Silver Meteor Army to form an alliance between Tigre and Ganelon, but is turned down as Tigre believes that Ganelon is just as threatening to the well-being of Alsace as Thenardier is; resulting in a confrontation between Gleast's army and Tigre's.

----

!!Torbalan/Leicester

A giant white demon who disguises himself as an Asvarre general named Leicester. He sides with Prince Elliot in the civil war; commanding a group of soldiers that hold down the Asvarre Kingdom's Fort Lux.

Torbalan was forced to reveal his true-self when he fought Tigre and Olga during their invasion of Fort Lux. Torbalan ends up losing the fight, and is forced out of commission for a brief time, but later on, he returns to fight Tigre on his return home from Asvarre, and launched an invasion on Zhcted with a vast pirate army.

----

* DevilInDisguise: A white-horned demon who disguised himself as an Asvarre general.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]: [[spoiler:Finally met his end in a fight against Sasha in Volume 8.]]
* TheLeader: Of the Asvarre soldiers that hold down Fort Lux, and later, a legion of pirates to launch an invasion on Zhcted.

* IfItsYouItsOkay: Played with. She's offered to let him marry Lim, when she would not let any other man she knows do the same.

* SitcomArchNemesis: Ellen and Mira, thanks to their first meeting going spectacularly wrong.

** [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl]]: She did have instinctive misgivings about doing the same when Torbalan demanded it, however, although she consciously did not understand why.

* LoveableAlphaBitch: Despite her high and mighty personality, she's equal measures sweet and protective of what she considers hers (Urz).
