History Characters / NeNoKamiTheTwoPrincessKnightsOfKyoto

* IllGirl: She has a frail body and tends to fall ill because of it quite often. [[spoiler:This [[SubvertedTrope actually isn't the case at all]], she's far more powerful than the other characters with the exception of Len and Mitsurugi and her tendency to get ill is revealed to have been the side effect of her testing out the new Exoskeleton the Kunai Organization had developed a.k.a. Tsuchigumo.]]

* BeautyMark: She has one on the corner of her left eye that symbolizes her tragic past.

* WindsOfDestinyChange: [[spoiler:She unlocks the ability to manipulate fate at the end of part 2.]]

* TheTease: Towards Len.
* ThousandYardStare: she has an extremely vacant stare whenever she is in her cold personality mode, which is hardly surprising considering her past.

* DitzyGenius: Despite being quite airheaded in regular conversation and BookDumb to boot, Len proves to be a very capable planner and a master combatant who can learn techniques in weeks that would take ''years'' for other people and has no trouble reading ancient japanese.

* HoneyTrap: [[spoiler:Subversion of sorts, Ruka was supposed to become Shino's best friend and earn her trust under Tsuchimikado's orders, so that he could better spy on her activities, but since Ruka didn't understand what friendship was supposed to be like, she instead ended up answering to Shino's romantic feelings towards her. Too bad for him Ruka really did fall for her.]]

* FlatEarthAtheist: Despite fighting against the return of the god of the underworld, he questions the existence of gods, specifically wether anyone can prove if they're divine beings. This actually falls in line with the beliefs of Kunai Organization though.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:After seemingly getting killed by Mitsurugi, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto gifts Len her powers to Len and she is able to quickly overpower Mitsurugi in their fight since Len is capable of not only seeing into the future, but predicting fate itself.]]

* GirlyBruiser: While she used to be a {{Tomboy}} in her youth, current Len is very much a GirlyGirl and proud of it too and it doesn't stop her from becoming a very capable warrior in a matter of few weeks. Len even brings this up during her last battle against [[spoiler:Mitsurugi]]
-->Manicures are both an accessory and a weapon for us ladies. You wouldn't know about that though, would you? I never could smell any perfume on you.

* WideEyedIdealist: For the majority of Part 1 she believes that the conflict between Ayakashi and Kunai organization could be solved peacefully since she doesen't yet know that Ayakashi aren't willing to negotiate at all [[spoiler:and Kunai Organization is most certainly going to sacrifice Uzume to win the war.]]

* DualWielding: How she likes to use her Divine Sword. While it would would be optimally used in its spear form, she finds the dual swords fitting with her technique much better.

* BadassGrandpa: Over 100 years of age has done little to slow him down thanks to the Divine Sword's power.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Last we see her, she is blown up by Miyata in a suicide attack utilizing broken piece from Len's sword and even IInari doesn't seem to know her whereabouts.]]
* YouNoTakeCandle:

* HappilyFailedSuicide: [[spoiler:She's ultimately glad that her ritual was interrupted by

* KimonoFanservice: She has a visible CleavageWindow on her Kimono and she doesen't wear any bra either

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Len is actually a homunculus who has designed to house Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, the god of moon, created by splicing human, ayakashi and gods DNA.]]

* BloodKnight: Like with other Divine Swords, Len's sword powers are tied to specific emotions and in her case that emotion is the enjoyment she feels during battle. Len admits to Shino that she is scared of how much she has come to love fighting after her second battle against Tsuchigumo.

* CharacterDevelopment: While she's initially motivated by monetary gain and wish to return to normal life, Len eventually decides to fight in order to protect Uzume from her impending fate.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Initially Len is initially motivated to join the Kunai Organization by monetary gain, which she is quite embarrassed to admit to anyone, though it doesn't take long untill the whole village learns about it.
* SeenItAll: By part 2, Len's understanding of reality has been crushed so many times in rapid succession, that she's barely phased by the new shocking twists she learns about.

* WideEyedIdealist: For the majority of Part 1 she believes that the conflict between Ayakashi and Kunai organization could be solved peacefully since she doesen't yet know that Ayakashi aren't willing to negotiate at all [[spoiler:and Kunai Organization is most certainly going to sacrifice Uzume to win the war.]]

* HypocriticalHumour: Uzume quick to scold Shino for blasphemy after she speaks of the gods in a disrespectful tone, even though Uzume's own worshiping of Len would most certainly count as blasphemy.
* MarshmallowHell: Poor Len has to frequently deal with breathing issues, thanks to Uzume's massive rack and her tendency to hug Len as hard as she can. This doesn't exactly help with Len's [[ACupAngst self-esteem issues over her breasts]] either.

* DidntSeeThatComing: The only two events he genuinely didn't expect to happen were [[spoiler:Len escaping the village to go train with the foxes and Ruka turning on her]].

* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Despite her many villainous actions, she really does love all the main characters as if they were her daughters, even Ruka who murdered her people whom she has been donating her salary to and whom she really wishes that Len and Shino will be able to save from despair.]]

* GirlyBruiser: While she used to be a {{Tomboy}} in her youth, current Len is very much a {{GirlyGirl}} and very proud of it too and it doesn't stop her from becoming a very capable warrior in a matter of few weeks.

[[folder:Himemishi Ruka]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her past is one huge TearJerker. [[spoiler:She was born to the chieftain of one of the Tsuchigumo tribes and she spent most of her early life in absolute poverty and medieval conditions. When she grew up, she was recruited by Tsuchimikado who promised to help her tribe if she did what she was told to do. Under Tsucimikado's orders, Ruka was forced to do absolutely monstrous acts ranging from torture to outright genocide and one of the populations she killed was lead by Mitsurugi. It's no wonder she is a barely functioning mess of a human being by the time she meets Shino for the first time]].

* HoneyTrap: [[spoiler:Ruka became Shino's lover under Tsuchimikado's orders, so that he could better spy on her activities. Too bad Ruka really did fall for her.]]
* IllGirl: She has a frail body and tends to fall ill because of it quite often. [[spoiler:This [[SubvertedTrope actually isn't the case at all]], she's actually far more powerful than the other characters with the exception of Len and Mitsurugi and her tendency to get ill is revealed to have been the side effect of her testing out the new Exoskeleton the Kunai Organization had developed a.k.a. Tsuchigumo.]]
* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:Ruka used to be a cold hearted killer raised in hellish conditions, but after meeting Shinome, she learned to care about other people and began questioning the orders given to her by Tsuchimikado, ultimately turning on him.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her nickname "Hime" is quite appropriate, considering her princess-like appearance and mannerisms [[spoiler:as well as her rola as a chieftain of one of the Tsuchigumo people]].

* {{Ojou}}: ''Not'' an actual example, but Len compares her to an upper class lady due to her mannerisms.

* BitchInSheepsClothing:

The most powerful of all the five Divine Sword wielders, Mitsurugi is an androgynous looking female who often acts as Tsuchimikado's lieutenant in the field.

* LadyLooksLikeADude: She has very androgynous looks and trying to identify her gender isn't helped at all by her masculine sounding name.
* LikeASonToMe: She admits that she thinks of Uzume like her own daughter.
* NothingPersonal: [[spoiler:She doesn't blame Ruka for killing her people and seems to understand that the situation was beyond her control.]]
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Despite her many villainous actions, she does really care about the main characters, even Ruka who murdered her people and seems to be genuinely relieved that she managed to take away Uzume's power before she could use it.]]

* TragicVillain: [[spoiler:Just like Ruka, she grew in horrible conditions was given little choice of what to do with her life and now has little more motivation to live than to complete the mission she was assigned with.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: Her backstory is important part of later plot developments.
\\
\\

Highest ranking member of the Kunai Organizations Capital Branch, Tsuchimikado is the descendant of [[UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}} Abe no Seimei]]. Almost universally seen as either creepy or annoying.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Or at least as deep as we get to the Kunai Organization conspiracy by Part 2.]]

* TheMole: [[spoiler: Well... sort of. He's still working for the Kunai Organization, but its real goal is to bring back the god of the underworld and in direct opposition to the main heroines.]]
* NonActionGuy: Despite being a descendant of Abe no Seimei, he doesen't actually have any special powers and his duties in the organization are mostly administrative.

* WalkingSpoiler: Majority of the information about him reveals key aspects about the later plot events.

* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Ruka reveals that Mitsurugi has secretly been adding teddy bears to her delivery schedule. [[spoiler:This turns out to be related to something much more disturbing.]]

* NothingPersonal: [[spoiler:She doesen't blame Ruka for killing her people and seems to understand that the situation was beyond her control.]]

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:He doesen't have much to do with the plot at all and is there to just distract everyone from the bigger picture, even his cult turns out to have been fake all along and his only real purpose was to help train Shino and Len.]]

'''WARNING: Due to the nature of the story, some major plot spoliers from Part 1 and early chapters of Part 2 will inevitably be [[Administrivia/SelfFulfillingSpoiler Self-Fuffilling Spoilers]] and thus unmarked, so proceed at your own risk!'''

* DitzyGenius: Despite being quite airheaded in regular conversation, Len proves to be a very capable planner and a master combatant who can learn techniques in weeks that would take ''years'' for other people and has no trouble reading ancient japanese.

* TraumaCongaLine: Where do even start? First she has to abandon all her friends and family to go to war, then she learns that her parents have disappeared while she was gone, then she learns that her lover is almost certainly going to be sacrificed by the Kunai Organization, [[spoiler:then she learns that [[TomatoInTheMirror she isn't even a human at all]] and finally she finds out that everything she has been fighting for has been for nothing and she couldn't do anything to stop the inevitable fate]].
* YouAreWorthHell: Len outright admits that she has no intention to continue her life if Uzume ends up completing her ritual.

* BoisterousWeakling: According to Len, Shino used to be the type of person as a kid who'd go start trouble and then run behind her for cover if things got bad. Last chapter of part 2 indicates that this might still be the case.

* LegacyOfTheChosen: The title and powers of Uzume has been passed down every second generation to a white haired female child of the Sarume family for thousands of years.

* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Uzume is the only real trump card that Kunai Organization has against the Ayakashi since she can seal them away from this world, making her also a key target for Ayakashi to attempt to take out. [[spoiler:However if she uses her power, she would most certainly die, which motivates the protagonists to attempt to defeat the Ayakashi through conventional methods.]]

** Uzume herself plays with this trope when it comes to her relationship with Len. Despite the LivingEmotionalCrutch levels of attachment she has to Len, she puts her duty as a member of the Kunai Organization ahead of their relationship, though this in itself is largely motivated by her own wishes to protect Len. [[spoiler:Even when she very clearly doesen't want to die and begs to just spend more time with Len right before her ritual, she's so dedicated to go through with it that Mitsurugi could only stop her from doing it by knocking her out.]]

* DidntSeeThatComing: The only two events he genuinely didn't expect to happen were Len escaping the village to go train with the foxes and [[spoiler:Ruka turning on her]].

* HateSink: While the other villains in the plot have at least some redeeming values, Tsuchimikado has absolutely none [[spoiler:and the downright monstrous acts he has forced Ruka and Mitsurugi to do are instead used to build sympathy for them]].

* TheSociopath: He has absolutely no sympathy towards anyone and pretty much treats his subordinates in the capital branch as disposable tools he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness just kills off when he has no more use for them]].

Old gentleman who wields one of the five Divine Swords, Morita is a survivor from the previous Kunai-Ayakashi war.

Previous wielder of Len's Divine Sword. A highly skilled warrior who was the bodyguard of the previous Uzume and died protecting her.

* AntiVillain: She doesn't actually want to hurt anyone, but as an Ayakashi, she doesen't have much choice over her orders either. When Haku finally has to fight, she attempts to avoid all unnecessary killing by prompting people not to resist her.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He suddenly disappears from the plot in Part 2 without a trace. [[spoiler:That's because Len and Shino learned to use the abilities of their Divine Swords themselves, hence there was no point in having Tsuchigumo train them any further.]]

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Initially Len is motivated to join the Kunai Organization by monetary gain, which she is quite embarrassed to admit to anyone.

* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Uzume is the only real trump card that Kunai Organization has against the Ayakashi since she can seal them away from this world, making her also a key target for Ayakashi to attempt to take out. However if she uses her power, she would most certainly die, which motivates the protagonists to attempt to defeat the Ayakashi through conventional methods.
* SenselessSacrifice: Discussed; Len points out that there is nothing that can guarantee that her sacrifice will be able to stop the Ayakashi, but Uzume is still determined to go through with it. [[spoiler:In the end, this turns out to be correct and most of the women carrying the role of Uzume before her were killed to uphold the masquerade, rather than to close off the Underworld.]]

** Uzume herself plays with this trope when it comes to her relationship with Len. Despite the LivingEmotionalCrutch levels of attachment she has to Len, she puts her duty as a member of the Kunai Organization ahead of their relationship [[note]]though this in itself is largely motivated by her own wishes to protect Len[[/note]] [[spoiler:even when she very clearly doesen't want to die and begs to just spend more time with Len right before her ritual]].

* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: Combined with DyingDeclarationOfLove, Uzume was just about to admit her feelings Towards Utano during her ritual until Utano pulled off her HeroicSacrifice.

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:She is a homunculus who has designed to house Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, the god of moon, created by splicing human, ayakashi and gods DNA.]]
* TheDeterminator: Len will stop at ''nothing'' to protect Uzume, be it going through a ten day TrainingFromHell where she gets to be practically a punching bag for her enemies, running several kilometers with her leg mangled or letting most of humanity die in her stead.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The english translation slightly changed her name in that [[JapaneseRanguage the R sound in her first name has been switched to L]].

* TraumaCongaLine: Where do even start? First she has to abandon all her friends and family to go to war, then she learns that her parents have dissapeared while she was gone, then she learns that her lover is almost certainly going to be sacrificed by the Kunai Organization, [[spoiler:then she learns that [[TomatoInTheMirror she isn't even a human at all]] and finally she finds out that everything she has been fighting for has been for nothing and she couldn't do anything to stop the inevitable fate]].

The protagonist of the series, Len is an seemingly OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who is suddenly thrust in the middle of the war between the Ayakashi and the Kunai Organization.

* DyingMomentOfAwsome: [[spoiler:He doesn't let Mitsurugi's sudden betrayal slow him down and he still manages to take out a fox despite being heavily wounded.]]

* MyGreatestFailiure: He still feels a great deal of regret over his inability to save Utano and the previous Uzume.

* AnAxeToGrind: Her Divine Sword is supposed to be a Tonfa, but she turned it into an improvised axe instead, just because she likes it that way.

* AbortedDeclerationOfLove: Combined with DyingDeclerationOfLove, Uzume was just about to admit her feelings Towards Utano during her ritual until Utano pulled off her HeroicSacrifice.

* LimitedWardrobe: Pointed out by Len who wonders if Shino goes everywhere in her Miko outfit. Shino's answer is that the attire is simple and all she really needs for her daily activities.

* MysteriousWaif: The other three girls know hardly anything about her background and she isn't happy to talk about it herself either.

Highest ranking member of the Kunai Organizations Capital Branch, Tsuchimikado is the descendant of [[UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}} Abe no Seimei]] who has scouted Len to join the organization. Almost universally seen as either creepy or annoying.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: While it may come off to Westerners as something that was invented for the sake of plot, [[http://eos.kokugakuin.ac.jp/modules/xwords/entry.php?entryID=366 Tsuchimikado clan]] are actually a clan of real life descendants of Abe no Seimei and practitioners of UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}}.

* BigBad: Or at least as deep as we get to [[spoiler:the Kunai Organization conspiracy]] by part 2.

LadyLooksLikeADude: She has very androgynous looks and trying to identify her gender isn't helped at all by her masculine sounding name.
PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Despite her many villainous actions, she does really care about the main characters, even Ruka who murdered her people and seems to be relieved that she managed to take away Uzume's power before she could use it.]]
TragicVillain: [[spoiler:Just like Ruka, she was given little choise of what to do with her life

* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Her last moments before the ritual consist of her crying her eyes out and desperately begging to spend more time with Len. Thankfully subverted in the end when Mitsusugi knocks her out and takes her power.]]

* FinalSolution: [[spoiler: Ruka unknowingly murdered Mitsusugi's people after Tsuchimikado forced her to fight and torture them, something that she still feels extremely deep regret over.]]

* HateSink: While the other villains in the plot have some redeeming values, Tsuchimikado has absolutely none [[spoiler:and the downright monstrous acts he has forced Ruka and Mitsusugi to do are instead used to build sympathy for them]].
