!Main Characters

[[folder:Yuuto Ayase]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WataruHatano
[[quoteright:176:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ayase_yuuto.jpg]]

An [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent otherwise ordinary boy]] who discovers Hakujou Academy sweetheart Haruka's secret life as an {{Otaku}} and becomes her SecretKeeper. [[KnightInShiningArmor A kind, caring and helpful boy]], Yuuto grows to care for and over time have (reciprocated) feelings Haruka and becomes her close friend and protector. He has little knowledge of the otaku lifestyle, and tries to avoid being an AccidentalPervert at all costs.
----

* AccidentalPervert: His first three encounters with Shiina lead to him becoming this trope.
%% * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The very thing that draws people to him.
* DeclarationOfProtection: He does this to Haruka after finding out about her ClosetGeek tendencies, and she suffers through yet another HeroicBSOD as a result of it. While he does gain some enemies because of it, he absolutely refuses to leave her side after finding out what happened to her in the past.
* HeroicBSOD: Has one in the finales of the first two seasons -- when Shute challenges his ability to make Haruka happy, and again when he is considered a distraction for Haruka by Yayoi.
%% * ImagineSpot: He has a lot of these.
* InsecureLoveInterest: At the end of the first season, when he is invited to Haruka's birthday party, when he discovers in just what kind of society she lives, he starts to feel unworthy. In his defense, you would be crazy not to feel that way when dealing with a family that can buy entire islands for fun. [[spoiler: He gradually overcomes it, though.]]
* InSeriesNickname: a few people call him "[[AccidentalPervert Ero-megane]]".
* InvisibleParents: Unlike Haruka's, his and Ruko's parents are never shown. Not to be at home for most of the year is okay, but to still stay away, while your home is targeted by a millionaire's private's army is... strange. Oh, and they didn't even show up for [[spoiler:his wedding]], it seems.
* TheJeeves: Becomes recognized as a butler for surviving his week-long service to Touka. It is for this reason that he was invited in Episode 5 of ''Purezza'' by Hazuki, Nanami and Alice to an annual maids and butlers' year-end party currently hosted by the Nogizakas.
%% * KirkSummation
* KnightInShiningArmor: Specifically called so by Haruka when he found the music she needed for the London performance.
* MadeOfIron: He's the only one to ever last more than a few hours as Touka's butler in episode 3 of ''Purezza.'' And then there's his [[spoiler:taking a full beat-down from Gentou and getting back up to fight back]] in the finale.
%% * NerdGlasses
* NiceGuy: Probably a big reason why so many of the girls and women around him are interested in him. And even when defending Alice from Shute's insults while attending a party for them, he stands up for the other maids and butlers present, even going so far as to kneel before the hated guy.
* NonActionGuy: Well, this isn't an action series, but during the few fight scenes that occur, Yuuto doesn't physically fight, since he's not a fighter. [[spoiler:Even when he fights Gento at the end of ''Finale'', he gets [[CurbStompBattle floored]] by Haruka's father, and only "wins" because Gento was really just seeing how much Haruka meant to him. And fortunately for Yuuto, he passes with flying colors.]]
* OfficialCouple: With Haruka. [[spoiler:They get married at the end of the 3rd season.]]
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Especially in contrast to Haruka, who comes from a rich family.
* RousingSpeech: Yuuto is actually an incredibly gifted rhetorician, be it a DeclarationOfProtection, a "ShutUpHannibal" speech, a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, a "PleaseDontLeaveMe" speech or a "YouAreNotAlone" speech. It's one of the most important reasons why so many people, including Gentou, are fond of/remember him.
* TheScapegoat: More than willing to become this to protect Haruka.
* SecretKeeper: He agrees to hide Haruka's ClosetGeek tendencies from others rather than have her suffer social ostracization like at her old school.
%% * ShutUpHannibal: Delivered to both Gentou and Shuute.
* TookALevelInBadass: He has several moments over the course of the series, but then, during the final episode when he's willing to take on the entire Hellhound unit just to ask Haruka directly how she feels about the current situation (as only listening to what he was told without asking Haruka was the source of both of his previous {{Heroic BSOD}}s).
* WhenItAllBegan: [[spoiler:Yuuto realizes he started off Haruka's passion when he gave her the first volume of "Innocent Smile" when he found her crying in a park.]]
%% * YouAreNotAlone: Yuuto makes this clear to Haruka.
----

[[folder:Haruka Nogizaka]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MamikoNoto
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nogizaka_haruka.jpg]]

[[TheAce Athletic, good with graces, graceful and talented (except at drawing), not to mention incredibly polite and beautiful]] -- except she [[ClosetGeek lives a double life as]] [[{{Otaku}} an anime/manga fanatic]], when Yuuto accidentally discovers her secret and promises to [[SecretKeeper become her confidant]] and help her pursue her hobby without being discovered and shunned.
----
* TheAce: Good at everything except drawing.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: What happened to her back in middle school after her anime/manga catalog was accidentally discovered, causing her to become ostracized. [[spoiler:It turns out that Haruka was forced to be shunned at her old school due to the influence of RichBitch Setsugetsuka Tennouji threatening the other students to do that to Haruka, or else suffer the same fate.]]
%% * {{Adorkable}}
* BadassAdorable: It's ''very'' easy to forget that Haruka holds a black belt in Aikido, a martial art infamous for its ability to effortlessly throw and ''cripple'' foes many-times its practitioner's size. Not to mention she has an army of [[{{Meido}} maids]] as a backup. And then there's her family.
** The best example of this is definitely in the final episode when she dons a naginata and takes on a private army while wearing a wedding dress!
%% * BunnyEarsLawyer: Considers herself this.
* CannotSpitItOut: EveryoneCanSeeIt, but she still takes more than two seasons. And hadn't she [[ShipperOnDeck been pushed]], it would've likely taken even longer.
* ClosetGeek: She is constantly fearful of being discovered and shamed for being an {{Otaku}}, as it happened in her past.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: She seems shy most of the time, but in at least one instance, she throws a guy quite a distance after he insults both Yuuto and anime.
* CunningLinguist: Has demonstrated fluency in English and Russian, the latter of which came in very handy when she and Yuuto bumped into a pack of MachoCamp Russian tourists. Implied to be proficient in French as well, if even more tongues.
%% * CuteClumsyGirl: Haruka's a bit of an airhead.
* ElegantClassicalMusician: She is very skilled at playing the piano and has won international competitions.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: A random person would just need about two seconds to realize it. She herself? Not so much...
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Due to her abilities (aside from drawing), social status, and looks, she has lots of guys and girls who fawn over her.
* FirstGirlWins: The first girl who meets Yuuto is, of course, the female lead and the main love interest. [[spoiler:She also marries him at the end of the series.]]
* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:To Yuuto at the end of the 3rd season.]]
* HighPressureEmotion: This happens a lot. If it's not during romantic moments, it's during the small RunningGag of her unintentionally seeing unmistakably sexual/perverted imagery (ie outright (half-)naked, in compromising positions, etc; [[TheIngenue otherwise she probably doesn't get it]]) - those in particular inflict this on her.
* TheIngenue: At times -- she's even innocent enough to ask what "3P (as in a threesome)" means.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Despite the fact that Yuuto only has feelings for her, Haruka sometimes feels she's not good enough for him. Having a lot of women around him who are also interested in him at least a little bit doesn't help though.
%% * LuminescentBlush: All the time.
* NiceGirl: Perhaps one of the nicest, sweetest, cutest girls to emerge from an anime ever.
* OfficialCouple: With Yuuto. [[spoiler:They get married at the end of the 3rd season.]]
* {{Ojou}}: She is also the elder daughter of the affluent Nogizaka family and thus a prospective heiress to an enormous fortune. She comes complete with living in a BigFancyHouse with several maid servants.
* OtakuSurrogate: The most popular and cutest girl at school is secretly a passionate anime/manga fan, but she's afraid of others finding out because they could make fun of her hobbies.
%% * PurityPersonified: At least to the rest of the school.
* RapunzelHair: She's a graceful {{Ojou}} with long hair reaching past her waist.
* SchoolIdol: Her beauty and multiple talents make her the most admired girl at Hakujou Academy.
* ShrinkingViolet: Except not violet. But the shrinking is taken UpToEleven.
* SiblingYinYang: The wholesome counterpart to her younger sister Mika.
%% * TenderTears
* TerribleArtist: Her drawings are very confusing and childish looking. Which makes it a problem for Yuuto when Haruka draws him a crude map of where she lives, and later whenever she gives him a map of directions and a guide book. When she mentions she might like to draw doujin someday, Yuuto is very inwardly concerned, considering his experience with her drawings.
* UptownGirl: She's a very rich {{Ojou}} who falls in love with the middle-class boy Yuuto.

[[folder:Shiina Amamiya]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RinaSato
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amamiya_shiina.jpg]]

A pianist who placed second to Haruka at a contest in London. She then transfers to Hakujou due to rumors that a legendary pianist who was also an alumna of said school is teaching there. By coincidence she meets Haruka, and also develops feelings for Yuuto, with whom she had three coincidental encounters.
----
* AlwaysSecondBest: She would be the best at what she does if it wasn't for Haruka being better at anything than everyone.
%% * TheChewToy
* ContrivedCoincidence: Her three encounters with Yuuto, prior to transferring to Hakujou (each time having her accidentally [[PantyShot flaunt her panties]]).

* ElegantClassicalMusician: Like Haruka, she's a skilled pianist who participates in international competitions.
* HopelessSuitor: She never had a chance with either Yuuto ''or'' Haruka.
* IKnowKungFu: "Naginatajutsu", to be exact, which revolves around a [[BladeOnAStick long blade on a longer handle]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Although she's sad about not getting Yuuto, she doesn't try to sabotage his relationship with Haruka either after he clearly makes his choice in ''Finale''.]]
* LoveTriangle: In an interesting twist, ''she'' is in the "A" spot of a [[TriangRelations Type VI]] triangle, having to choose between Yuuto and Haruka, both of whom are obviously in love with each other.
* NewTransferStudent: She transfers to Yuuto and Haruka's school due to her father's job.
%% * NiceGirl
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Often gets caught in an unfortunate position, some PlayedForDrama, but mostly PlayedForLaughs.
* PantyShot: Also gets a lot of these, including the opening of ''Purezza''.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: By way of getting a lot of {{Panty Shot}}s and [[NotWhatItLooksLike other perverted situations]].
* RomanticRunnerUp: [[spoiler:While she really didn't have a chance in the first place, the fact that she delivered a LoveConfession to Yuuto before Haruka also showed she wanted to at least let him know how she felt towards him. Even if he did ultimately reject her.]]
%% * SlapstickKnowsNoGender
* ThoseTwoGirls: From ''Purezza'' onwards, she becomes the head of a trio of friends, along with Mai and Ryouko.
* ThrowTheDogABone: In the finale, she has some ShipTease-y moments with one of Yuuto and Haruka's Summer Comiket acquaintances (who, from his name, may be [[AuthorAvatar the light novels' author himself]].

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/asakura_nobunaga.jpg]]

Yuuto's best friend since early childhood and a proud {{otaku}}, Yuuto often ends up asking him for advice, when he decides to participate in one of Haruka's activities.
----
%% * BromanticFoil: For Yuuto.
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The first volume of "Innocent Smile" he gave to Yuuto from way back when they were kids. Yuuto in turn gave it to Haruka to cheer her up when he found her crying in a park -- this is what started her {{otaku}} passion.]]
* FamedInStory: Amongst the {{maid cafe}}s of Akihabara, he is one of their most legendary customers. In fact, one such cafe (where Haruka worked part-time to earn money for a Christmas gift for Yuuto) has a gold-framed picture of him surrounded by maids and shaking hands with its manager, with a caption saying "Welcome home, our greatest master" hanging in the center of said cafe.
* NiceGuy: Despite his in-your-face otaku tendencies, he's a genuinely good guy who's always supportive of Yuuto.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Beneath his seemingly airheaded exterior he seems to know a lot about Yuuto and Haruka's relationship, and is low-key supportive of them.
%% * ProudToBeAGeek: To an even greater extent than Haruka.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Invoked -- his female classmates note that he's quite a looker and would've been a ChickMagnet were it not for his {{otaku}} lifestyle.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has green hair.
----
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mai Asahina]]

A first-year and third-ranking heiress to the vast fortune of the Tennoujis.
----
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: No matter how harshly she treats Yuuto while he's working for her, he treats her as kindly as he does anyone else, even going so far as to shield her with his body against two assailants. She promises to return the favor, and [[spoiler:come ''Finale'' Episode 4 [[BigDamnHeroes she does just that]].]]
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:''Finale'' Episode 4, when she stops Setsugetsuka's plans with her own security force.]]

* GirlishPigtails: She wears her hair this way, as part of her typical {{Tsundere}} traits.
* HeightAngst: She wears platform boots to hide how short she really is.
* InSeriesNickname: "[[IceQueen Princess Blizzard]]", due to her incredibly abrasive personality.
%% * JerkWithAHeartOfGold
%% * LonelyRichKid
* MaleGaze: By way of flaunting a lot of gratuitous {{Panty Shot}}s; the "camera" rarely leaves her thighs.
* MeanBoss: So much so that most butlers leave her less than a day into her service alone.
* {{Ojou}}: Her family rivals the Nogizakas in wealth and prestige.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She's a first-year high school student, but her short stature and flat chest make her look like a middle school student at the oldest.
%% * RichBitch: Played straight at first but then eventually subverted.
* ShanaClone: Mean and bossy {{Tsundere}}, childlike body, ties her white hair onto GirlishPigtails, wears Grade-S ZettaiRyouiki, is a rich heiress, and initially treats the protagonist as her personal slave before opening up to him. For bonus points, she's voiced by Creator/RieKugimiya.
* SourOutsideSadInside: Her beloved grandfather's death and the disintegration of her family certainly had a negative effect on her personality. Fortunately, Yuuto is there to help her reconnect to humanity.
* SuccessionCrisis: With Tenzen, her grandfather and family patriarch, dying recently at the ripe age of 147, she gets caught in the middle of a (sometimes outright violent) inheritance crisis -- no thanks to inheriting the opulent family mansion. Yuuto wonders if this is the reason Touka is such a RichBitch.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Her stated goal. Yuuto wonders if this is just [[SourOutsideSadInside her way to cope with her personal demons]].
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: She's such a tyrant in a short girl's body that all her butlers before Yuuto didn't last for more than a day before quitting.
%% * TookALevelInKindness
%% * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Moo-Moo Milk Organic Pure 100%.
* {{Tsundere}}: A vicious Harsh type, as if she's specifically designed to be voiced by Creator/RieKugimiya [[LampshadeHanging in order to give the viewers a token definition of a Tsundere character]]. However, when she shows her ''dere'' side, she's positively adorable.

!Nogizaka Family
The prestigious Nogizaka clan from which [[UptownGirl Haruka]] hails from, is one of the wealthiest and most influent families in all of Japan and resides in a [[BigFancyHouse huge building]] at the city's edge. They have apparently no limits when it comes to money or anything related to it. All family members are also extremely competent in almost everything they do, which makes them [[NewMoney nouveau nobilité]] [[UpToEleven par déluxe]]. The family members and their loyal employees soon start meddling excessively in the two young people's ([[CannotSpitItOut unofficial]]) relationship. Poor [[TheGenericGuy Yuuto]].
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Save for Mika, every single family member (and all of their employees as well) has shown utmost combat prowess. Are you even surprised, why they have so much influence?
%% * BadassFamily
%% * BigFancyHouse: The Nogizaka estate is ''really'' huge.
%% * NouveauRiche
* ShipperOnDeck: Except for [[KnightTemplarParent Gentou]], all of them are staunch supporters of the Haruka/Yuuto relationship.

[[folder:Mika Nogizaka]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaiGoto
[[quoteright:187:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nogizaka_mika.jpg]]

Haruka's younger sister and the second daughter of the Nogizaka family, Mika never stood in the limelight of her family and thus, is often seen together with the family maids. She cares deeply for Haruka, though, and immediately tries to hook her up with Yuuto, in whom she has, as she says, great hope, since he is the first person to [[SecretKeeper display understanding for Haruka's problem]]. Mika comes to care very quickly for Yuuto himself and is his most important ally in the Nogizaka household, to the point where she even calls him [[{{Foreshadowing}} "onii-san"]]. She's a second-year junior high student at another school.
----
%% * BigBrotherAttraction: Towards Yuuto.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She won't demonstrate any of this in the presence of her sister, but she will get very jealous, both on her own and her sister's behalf, when Yuuto comes too close to Shiina.
* BigBrotherWorship: My, every single one of her friends at her school knows about him from all her talk.
* ChekhovsGunman: The first time Yuuto meets her, she seems to be nothing more than a young, nice girl who helps him find Haruka's residence, since [[TerribleArtist her self-made map]] is not really helpful.
%% * CovertPervert
%% * CuteLittleFangs
%% * DatePeepers: The most blatant example.
%% * DirtyKid
%% * GirlishPigtails
* HopelessSuitor: Yuuto is definitely not a paedophile, and as a result doesn't display any affection for her. He instead refers to her as barely more than "a little brat", which disturbs her greatly.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Mika's friends at school are absolutely convinced she is an expert on men, due to the fact that they attend an all-girls school, and her interactions with Yuuto and constant talking about him with them. Unfortunately for her they then ask to meet him, but Yuuto thankfully agrees to go to her school.
%% * TheLancer
%% * LittleMissSnarker
* MatchmakerCrush: Were it not for this girl, it would likely have taken [[TwiceShy Yuuto and Haruka]] ''at least ten more years'' only to admit their feelings. Too bad that the guy she gets the hots for is the exact same one whom she tries so desperately to hook up with her sister...
%% * SiblingTriangle
* SiblingYinYang: She excels at Haruka's only known weak points: drawing and romance.
* StudentCouncilPresident: Looked up to by her peers and well respected by her teachers, she is surprisingly mature and dependable at school; not only is she the first person to run for two years, she's the hot favourite for the third.
%% * ThoseTwoGirls: With Nanami, the other resident smartie.
----
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Gento Nogizaka]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FumihikoTachiki
Haruka and Mika's overprotective father.
----
* BareFistedMonk: [[spoiler: His last (and only) fight with Yuuto is a boxing match.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: For all of his roles as either a ButtMonkey or antagonist, he does care about Haruka, and will stop at nothing to make sure she's not harmed or exploited, such as approving of Yuuto's present over Shute's during her birthday party after seeing how happy it made her, and later [[spoiler:buying up a tv station to prevent some shady producers from manipulating her into becoming an idol.]]
%% * BumblingDad: At his best.
* ButtMonkey: His overprotective parenting earns him nothing but AmusingInjuries and other mishaps.
%%* CoolShades
* CovertPervert: Even he is NotSoAboveItAll:
--> '''Gentou''' (towards his daughters in Santa clothes): You better not start wrapping ribbons around yourself saying: "The present is me!" You can't do that!
--> '''Akiho''' (undoing her Kimono): Oh, that's just too bad.
* FantasyForbiddingFather: He views anime and manga as lowbrow entertainment, something that Haruka shouldn't be indulging in. However, several others such as his wife and Yuuto, eventually cause him to begrudgingly change his mind, as they argue that despite her love for such lowly things, her grades haven't suffered.
* {{Fiction 500}}: Private army of maids? Personal Island? Supersonic-jets? An entire TV Station? '''Pocket-change''', dear chap.
%% * GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a huge scar across his left eye.
* GreenEyedMonster: Towards Yuuto. Somewhat understandable once you take into account the fact that ''both of his daughters'' prefer the NaiveNewcomer's presence over his own.
%% * GrumpyOldMan: He complains a lot. Mika even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it.
%% * FinalBoss: For Yuuto in season 3's OVA.
%% * HappilyMarried
* HenpeckedHusband: Courtesy of his wife, Akiho.
%% * HugeGuyTinyGirl: With his wife.
%% * IWasQuiteALooker
%% * KnightTemplarParent: At his worst, though PlayedForLaughs.
* LoveObstructingParents: It doesn't work so much, as his wife keeps him in check.
%% * ManlyTears
%% * OverprotectiveDad
%% * ThePatriarch
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Sort of. He really doesn't like Yuuto's presence in Haruka's life, yet he has to tolerate him due to his wife, younger daughter, and maids' approval of the relationship. [[spoiler:He does eventually approve of Yuuto though in ''Finale''.]]
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Bought off an entire island with a castle just to celebrate Haruka's birthday in Episode 12 of the first season. [[spoiler: Put to a more ''heroic'' use in Episode 11 of ''Purezza'' when he buys off Three Piece Productions to save Haruka from a life of an idol exploited for profit.]]
%% * UglyGuyHotWife: Again, with his wife Akiho.
%% * WorthyOpponent: By the end, he seems to have accepted Yuuto somewhat as this.
----
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Akiho Nogizaka]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaHisakawa
Haruka and Mika's mother.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Generally a sweet, ProperLady to everybody (unless your name is Gento and you screwed up ''royally'').
%% * DissonantSerenity: There's a reason even the mighty Gento fears her.
%% * FinalBoss: Serves as this towards Haruka in season 3's OVA.
%% * HappilyMarried
%% * HugeGuyTinyGirl: She is rather small compared to Gentou.
* LetHerGrowUpDear: She even cows Gento to submission whenever she perceives him to be trying again to keep Haruka and Yuuto apart.
* MumLooksLikeASister: She's delighted at Yuuto mistaking her for Haruka and Mika's older sister.
* {{Meido}}: [[spoiler:Implied in the anime to have been the second-ranking maid of the family's cadre.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Her actions at the end of ''Finale'' Episode 3 are a complete turn of her attitude during the rest of the series, when [[spoiler:she places Haruka into an ArrangedMarriage. Except that was actually a SecretTestOfCharacter meant to test the strength of Haruka and Yuuto's love for each other.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She has a strict habit of making sure Haruka studies, but she's also a sweet, understanding mother who approves (and is even protective) of her relationship with Yuuto.
%% * ShipperOnDeck: For Haruka and Yuuto, like 90% of the rest of the household.
* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:In truth a SecretTestOfCharacter, she tells Yuuto at the end of episode 3 of ''Finale'' that Haruka was being married off to someone, and didn't seem concerned about his thoughts on the matter. Him not being able to say much didn't help. She also fights Haruka to prevent her from seeing him as well, though moments when Haruka overpowers her show this facade briefly slip.]]
* TranquilFury: Even when she gets upset, while her face may have a different look, her tone of voice doesn't change too much to express her anger or disappointment.
%% * UglyGuyHotWife
* YamatoNadeshiko: Serene, sweet, proper, often wears a yukata, and is the one wearing the pants in her marriage.

!Nogizaka Family Maids

[[folder:Hazuki Sakurazaka]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriShimizu
[[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sakurazaka_hazuki.jpg]]

The first-ranking and supposedly eldest and longest-employed maid of the vast Nogizaka estate and Haruka and Mika's attendant, Hazuki is the person who more or less raised the two sisters from early childhood due to their parents' frequent absence. She also works as Haruka's bodyguard, and she does her job pretty damn well!
----
* ActionGirl: She is the most badass of the five main characters, if not of the entire show.
* BerserkButton: The easiest way to break her stoic facade is to harm Haruka in any way, be it physically or emotionally. That would involve her giving you a vicious DeathGlare and whipping out her [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]].
%% * BigSisterInstinct
* CantHoldHerLiquor: She gets quite drunk when staying at Yuuto's house for the first time thanks to his sister. Interestingly, despite the nasty hangover she suffers from the next morning, she still manages to knock one of Gentou's bodyguards off the top of a house when she realizes Haruka is in danger.
* ChainsawGood: Her WeaponOfChoice is a chainsaw she [[HyperspaceArsenal pulls out of nowhere]].
%% * TheComicallySerious: In stark contrast to her partners in crime (Mika & Nanami).
* CoolBigSis: For both Nogizaka sisters, though particularly to Haruka.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Surprisingly enough, Hazuki's room is full of plushies. Yuuto is ''very'' surprised, and has a hard time believing it: when Hazuki buys a rabbit plushy and Haruka speculates that she'll cuddle it while sleeping, Yuuto instead envisions her holding the rabbit by its ears while waving a butcher knife. (Possibly NSFW)
* HyperspaceArsenal: Both her chainsaw and ''herself''.
** Other things, too. In the light novels:
-->Hazuki-san immediately set up a simple foldable table that she seemed to have pulled out of nowhere, and placed a table cloth on it before pulling out four sets of chairs (again, out of nowhere), after which she started to set up the tea cups.... Wait a minute! Where did she get all the equipment from? Weren’t both her hands completely empty just a moment ago?\\
"Corporate secret."\\
The maid-san answered me nonchalantly after I asked her about it. What kind of corporate secret is this.... Could it be possible that the pockets of their maid uniform are linked to the fourth dimension?
%% * {{Meganekko}}
* NinjaMaid: She is quite an adept fighter if it really boils down to it. In one example, when Haruka's father first sent his guards to find Haruka after she runs away to Yuuto's house, while nursing a hangover, Hazuki spots one of his men on top of a roof. She sprints up there, and kicks him off.
* OlderThanSheLooks: Still looks as though she's only in her late teens despite having tended to Haruka ever since her infancy.

The third-ranking maid of the Nogizaka estate, Nanami is a very smart and deductive maid who is best friends with Mika and often [[DatePeepers spies along with her and Hazuki (and sometimes Alice) on Haruka and Yuuto]], whenever they are spending time together. She also shares her friends' opinion of said relationship and is a staunch supporter of it. Her official position is that of the family's chauffeur.

The eighth-ranking maid and the youngest member of the Nogizaka maids, Alice is a young, blonde and timid girl introduced early in the second season. Her specialty is ''VIP Protection'', which basically boils down to ''eliminate anything that threatens Haruka and later also Yuuto'', up to and including her own boss, Gentou Nogizaka.
----
* ACupAngst: In ''Purezza'' Episode 12. A ping-pong ball gets caught in Haruka's cleavage. When it's finally out, Alice picks up the ball and drops it onto what would be ''her'' cleavage if she weren't a [[TokenMiniMoe grade-schooler]] (or at least has the body of one). Her sigh and expression of disappointment when the ball just falls to the floor...

[[folder:Ruko Ayase]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HitomiNabatame
[[quoteright:193:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ayase_ruko.jpg]]

Yuuto's older sister and only visible family, who slacks off most of the time (except for passing mentions of her job as a secretary). She also forces all of the household work on him in addition to several special demandings. But you don't want to trifle with her -- or her brother, for that matter.
----
* BigSisterBully: A mild case, in which she frequently forces Yuuto to do chores for her. And ''always'' forces him to do the cooking; she never even ''tries'' to cook for herself.
%% * ChristmasCake
* CoolBigSis: ''Some'' of the time. Haruka sure does think so, and even states, much to Yuuto's horror, that she wants to become like her once she becomes older.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: She and Yukari manage to storm the Tennouji Residence all alone with nothing but ''a set of Tarot cards'' and while being ''in Delirium''. Wow. She also briefly manages to go toe to toe with Gento when he is first introduced, although he does eventually overpower her.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Much to Yuuto's chagrin, as he often ends up cleaning after her and Yukari.
%% * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Yukari.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Her favourite weapon. And she's apparently on par with many of the Nogizaka household members.

----
* BunnyEarsLawyer: [[spoiler:Implied to be none other than the "Performer of the Sunset", a legendary world-renowned pianist and herself an alumna of Hakujou, for whom Shiina transferred to said school.]]

[[folder:Shute Sutherland]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunjiMajima
A British nobleman and part of a powerful family doing business with the Nogizakas.
----
* AnimeAccentAbsence: Subverted -- he adds a foreign twang on some of his sentences.
* AssholeVictim: Comes off as an incredibly pompous JerkAss, insulting and belittling Yuuto. And even after his father forced him to be a butler to learn some humility and respect for others, he still treats butlers and maids with utter contempt. Once his father hears about it however, he gives the butlers and maids at the party permission to do whatever they want to him.
* GirlPosse: RareMaleExample. Has a group of four boys following him around.
* {{Jerkass}}: He probably acts this way due to a fairly spoiled upbringing despite his father's attempts to mold him into a NiceGuy. For example, he treats Yuuto with utter contempt when they first meet, and feels his various rich gifts would be more valuable than some random toy he brought her.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Thanks to his debacle during Haruka's birthday, in which he made fun of Yuuto's gift and then grappled an old man (who turns out to be Haruka's grandfather Ouki), his father forced him to become a butler to teach him a lesson in humility. He didn't get the message, and during an annual year-end maids and butlers party (currently hosted by the Nogizakas), he's at it again, belittling the guests, trampling on Alice's frog doll, spitting at her, and pouring wine over Yuuto's head. The latter then made a RousingSpeech about the value of maids and butlers, inspiring all the guests, including the Nogizaka maids (and with permission from Shute's father, who heard him over the phone), to give him a more-than-well-deserved beatdown.
%% * NoblewomansLaugh: A male version.
* OhCrap: His reaction at the end of Episode 12 of the first season, when he realizes he just hurt the Nogizaka family patriarch, and at Episode 5 of ''Purezza'', once the guests at a party he crashed set forth to lay the beatdown on him.
* RichBastard: He doesn't hide his contempt for Yuuto's gift to Haruka at all. Then he shows off very lavish gifts he was presenting to her. Ironically Haruka loved Yuuto's "cheap" present even more than anything else, earning praise from both her father and grandfather.
* SpoiledBrat: He is very rude to anyone who's not stinking rich, especially Yuuto.
