One of the elite Royal Guards of the Kingdom of MolMol, Nealla is Kaolla's personal bodyguard, often serving as the girl's double despite the fact that she is several years older than the princess. Her ability to mimic Kaolla is unusual in that, unless she is actively attempting to pass as Kaolla, she otherwise doesn't seem to look like her. No word on whether this is a magical ability or not.

A 'djinn' who once served under Namusan Sapou, Sabashii has since seen the evil in the elder 'djinni'''s intentions and absconded from his service, changing his name, falsifying his past, and wandering from place to place ever since. Having a fondness for the Island Republic of MolMol, Sabashii has wandered back to that nation several times in his life, and has a knack for wandering into and through key junctures in history.

The trickster fox of the crew, Kitsune has largely taken the sudden change in their lives' direction in remarkable stride. Though, in truth, she hasn't really changed all that much, discounting her new thief abilities. The fact that she hasn't used said abilities for nefarious purposes or personal gain speaks to the strength of her character.

One of the main characters in ''Project: Arashi'', Motoko is the current heiress of the ''Shinmeiryu'' style of swordsmanship. Continuing the late-game development started in the original LoveHina, she has matured even further into a graceful and multi-talented young woman, though she is no stranger to letting her hair down and enjoying life by the day.

[[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What Happened to the Bird?]] The author keeps forgetting that he had Tsuruko bequeath her pet crane, Shippu, to Motoko near the beginning of the story. Though, in fairness, Shippu didn't appear alongside Motoko in ''actual'' LoveHina all that often.

* RegeneratingMana: Her MP will recover on its own over time, but she still keeps a stock of ether-type items for emergency replenishment, and her unique ability, Manafont, lets her cast spells without mana cost or cast time for five minutes at the price of
being the...
a one-a-day thing.
* StraightMan
StraightMan: Her other narrative role, which is obviously done on purpose given how often she is the other one.



* TheLancer: ''Literally'', since his weapon is of the BladeOnAStick variety. He can also be viewed as a foil to SupportingProtagonist Seno.



* AssPull: Masaru can literally create any item or person he's studied before, to include movable parts, if he has enough mana to generate and sustain the item

to:

* {{Magitek}}: Given the wide array of weapons and inventions she makes with otherwise unexplainable power sources, this is the advancement that her heroic ability has given her. So far, though, she mainly seems to stick to using her previously-established weapons, primarily the arm/leg micro-missile packs.



* [[MegaManning Blue Magic]]: Said to be Keitaro's Heroic job class. Given that he's known, in the LoveHina manga, to learn attacks by suffering them and even lampshaded it to Motoko once, this was a ForegoneConclusion

* LadyOfBlackMagic: Nealla's heroic ability, unique in the setting of Akamatsu-based works, is that she's more a ''FinalFantasy'' caster than she is an incantation caster, which puts her at a great advantage against those types of enemies, provided her MP holds up. She also has a small cross-section of status effect magic, including Silence, Confuse, and Bind.



* BlackMagic: A little of this in both evil and benign forms are his basic magic set. His most deadly attack, the Negative Ultima Crusher, is most definitively an evil magic simply by dint of what it does to whatever poor bastard gets caught in his way, but he's not a mainline caster in the Kuro crew.



* KungFuWizard: Best description of Sabashii's fighting style. He is primarily a hand-to-hand combatant, but he'll mix spells into his attack patterns and, if pushed too far, will just plain nuke a bastard.




to:

* UnholyNuke: Negative Ultima Crusher.

* WhiteMagicianGirl: Shinobu's heroic class, allowing her to serve as the primary healer and [[StatusBuff buffer]] for the team.

to:

* PowerGivesYouWings: Or rather, the inverse; her wings gave her power. After her angelic power awakened, she took her place firmly as a frontline combatant of the Kuro crew and is significantly faster and more powerful than the [[MegatonPunch one-trick-pony]] college wannabe that she started the series as.
* ShoutOut: Her significant power increase was inspired by seeing the same happen to [[DeadFantasy Rinoa]] in Monty Oum's hands.



* AbnormalAmmo: Always seems to be using a unique ammunition type, ranging from the electrified chalk rounds he used in his spar against Mana, to sniper rounds imbued with magic spells that he can also channel ''ki'' through.



* GunKata: One of his signature styles, as the ''Arma Salto'' fighting style used by the AMS inspired the movie's version.




to:

* TheCaptain: Proof that he is a deadly opponent when in his comfort zone, Lorenzo commanded the defense against Chao's droid forces at the Viertel Am See plaza. Having personally orchestrated the strategy used there, his forces were responsible for the ludicrously-high kill count and only lost because Chao really threw the heavy end of the hammer at them in terms of forces.
* TheGunslinger: His heroic job in the Kuro crew. He's a flexible one, at that, capable of getting into the thick of melee combat using ''[[GunKata Arma Salto]]'' even though he prefers to be a long-ranged sniper type with his specially-modified M14.

* GenerationXerox: Many of her interactions with Motoko and Seno mirror those of Motoko to Tsuruko, even down to using the archaic honorific ''aneue'' to refer to Motoko. Departing from the norm, she seems to look up more to Seno than Motoko, but that's likely due to the fact that Seno and Setsuna both had players while Motoko has as of yet been an NPC.

'''Keitaro Urashima'''
* [[MegaManning Blue Magic]]: Said to be Keitaro's Heroic job class. Given that he's known, in the LoveHina manga, to learn attacks by suffering them and even lampshaded it to Motoko once, this was a ForegoneConclusion
* ChosenOne: Well, one of about twelve, anyway

'''Naru Narusegawa'''
* AngelUnaware: Her distrust in men and anger management issues caused her to lose her celestial power, ability, and even memory of such
* HalfHumanHybrid: Human father, celestial mother
* LaserBlade: Naru's primary weapons so far tend toward producing blades of pure energy from her hand, in a similar vein to that which Evangeline does. It's implied that Naru's are of holy power
* TheMessiah: Briefly appeared this way in chapter 5 when her full power first awakened
* MeteorMove: Her MegatonPunch has been upgraded to this, given her new ridiculous boost in speed and power

'''Mitsune "Kitsune" Konno'''
* DualWielding: Part of her Heroic upgrade, her primary weapons are a pair of high-frequency daggers made by Kaolla
* InstantExpert: Even Kitsune was impressed by how her agility and dexterity skyrocketed to allow her to easily dual-wield her new daggers and fight handily with them following the group's awakening

'''Shinobu Maehara'''
* AuraVision: Shinobu's unique ability, to sort of make up for being one of three potential team healers, is that she's the only one capable of seeing the auras of people, which allows her to spot the white aura of other Chosen Heroes. While it also likely functions as a generic Scan ability ala FinalFantasyVIII, it hasn't been used that way yet
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She begged and pleaded for Mei not to fight, but when push came to shove, she damn near killed the girl with a cast-iron stir-fry skillet traveling at full swing
* ChefOfIron: Combine the tradition of a WhiteMage using a bludgeoning-type weapon with Shinobu as the TeamChef, and the result is her breaking skulls with a [[FryingPanOfDoom 14-inch cast-iron stir-fry skillet]]
* FryingPanOfDoom: She uses cooking implements like maces, and swings them like baseball bats



'''Kaolla Su'''
* IdenticalStranger: Visually, she and Nealla are completely identical. You can only tell the difference between them by attitude, and when Nealla consciously chooses not to use the same mannerisms as Kaolla

'''Haruka Urashima'''
* TheLeader: She seems to more or less be the spokesperson of the Kuro crew, when a spokesperson with a modicrum of class is required, rather than one likely to respond with random acts of violence or shenanigans

'''Mutsumi Otohime'''
* MysticalWaif: She is the ''Yochi no Kouken'', or the World Guardian, whose job is to protect the planet from overtly-harmful forces. She can use the powers of the Lifestream to heal wounds, learn about any given person, or even bring back the dead (with some celestial assistance), keeps an EldritchAbomination that looks and sounds disturbingly similar to [[CosmicHorror Gravemind]] on a short leash, and is the spiritual and technical 'leader' of the Chosen Heroes
* PowerTrio: She is the most public one of the individuals known as the Three Guardians. Almost no other information has been given about the other two, except that one is referred to as "The Captain", and the last apparently likes to dabble in magic societies

'''Seno Nakakami'''
* AncestralWeapon: A full ''daisho'', katana and wakizashi, handed down over many, many generations, dating from at least the Warring States era of Japan
* AttackAttackAttack: Seno is a fully-offensive character. Whenever he's forced to defend, he tends to lose. Case in point in ''both'' duels against the Aoyama sisters. He stayed on the offensive against Takane, even without his weapons, and won in the end
* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite having just recently been made aware that Setsuna is his sister-in-law, Seno's strong feelings toward family make it a ForegoneConclusion that he could slip into KnightTemplarBigBrother territory without much of a push
* CombatPragmatist: Invoked by Seno. He's said that the only reason he consistently beats Motoko in spars or duels is because he won't fight fairly, and that she'd wipe the floor with him in a fair fight. As demonstrated by their duel to the death, in which he fought not only fairly, but defensively
* ContractualGenreBlindness: Conversed (with himself) in chapter 6, but played straight in several other situations
* EmpathicWeapon: For the first dozen or so chapters, Seno's sword was obviously magical in nature since it physically reacted to certain stimuli, to include cracking, weeping, glowing brilliantly, or outright breaking. It was then revealed in a bonus content chapter that his sword, and the ''wakizashi'' that completes his family's ''daisho'', both house the souls of ancient and powerful warriors
* ExpositionFairy: Conversed in chapter 9
* EyepatchOfPower: Obligatory inclusion with the [[SamuraiWarriors Masamune Date]] costume at Mages vs. Mars
* GenreSavvy: One of the easiest ways to describe Seno
* IKnowMortalKombat: Seno has claimed that his skill at swordplay was self-taught using what he'd seen in anime and video games, and this was supported by his set of special skills at the time. Of course, it all turned out to be bad selective memory...
* InSeriesNickname: It took Seno ''twenty-two'' chapters to finally be pegged with the 'Dragon of Hinata' nickname he's been credited with in all related media. Too bad he hasn't done anything to get that nickname feared. Yet
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: And we're not talking about the memory erasing spells. We're talking about the Type 1 here. Seno showed up at the Hinata out of the blue with ImplausibleFencingPowers and a RuleOfCool EmpathicWeapon, swearing up, down, left, and sideways that his ImplausibleFencingPowers came from IKnowMortalKombat. In reality, he'd been trained in the ''Shinmeiryu'' style from childhood, and apparently forgot not only that he'd been trained, but his soul mate/RedStringOfFate partner over the course of his older child and teenage years. Upon finding and reading a book detailing the history and origins of ''Shinmeiryu'', his memory apparetnly jogs, allowing him to pick up a new class while earning another [[TookALevelInBadass level in Badass]]. Why it wasn't jogged by being exposed to ''Shinmeiryu'' techniques for over a year is anyone's guess
* NoFourthWall: Seno has gone here on occasion
* PrecisionFStrike: He ''did'' spend four years in an American high school. With that knowledge, it's amazing that his speech isn't filled with {{Cluster F Bomb}}s
* RedStringOfFate: Played straight with Seno and Motoko
* ReincarnationRomance: Seno, with Motoko. Outright stated on a few occasions. At least one set of past lives for them had a DownerEnding as a direct result of being StarCrossedLovers. At least that time. Technically, they were this time as well, but Mutsumi was on hand with a Phoenix Down

* BottomlessMagazines: The Arlington Magic Society for which he works holds the monopoly on weaponized {{Hammerspace}} for use in storing ammunition for guns
* MauveShirt: Self-proclaimed to be this, no matter how much his creator thinks he's a RedShirt.

'''Nealla Ju'''
'''Mitsune "Kitsune" Konno'''
* BodyDouble: Kaolla's personal bodyguard DualWielding: Part of her Heroic upgrade, her primary weapons are a pair of high-frequency daggers made by Kaolla
* InstantExpert: Even Kitsune was impressed by how her agility
and decoy
dexterity skyrocketed to allow her to easily dual-wield her new daggers and fight handily with them following the group's awakening

'''Shinobu Maehara'''
* LittleMissSnarker: When AuraVision: Shinobu's unique ability, to sort of make up for being one of three potential team healers, is that she's not being the...
* StraightMan

'''Masaru Nanjou'''
* AssPull: Masaru can literally create any item or person he's studied before, to include movable parts, if he has enough mana to generate and sustain
the item
* InsufferableGenius: It may be just a facade, but he's damn good at appearing this way

'''Nanao Yuzuki'''
* GamerChick: Equal skill level as Seno in Halo, and prefers close-range weapons, primarily
only one capable of seeing the [[DropTheHammer gravity hammer]]
* ThePowerOfRock: Presumed to be her Heroic class specialty, but she has not yet had the opportunity to demonstrate this

'''Lorenzo Ruiz'''
* BottomlessMagazines: The Arlington Magic Society for
auras of people, which he works holds allows her to spot the monopoly on weaponized {{Hammerspace}} white aura of other Chosen Heroes. While it also likely functions as a generic Scan ability ala FinalFantasyVIII, it hasn't been used that way yet
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She begged and pleaded
for use in storing ammunition for guns
* MauveShirt: Self-proclaimed
Mei not to be this, no matter how much his creator thinks he's fight, but when push came to shove, she damn near killed the girl with a RedShirt.
cast-iron stir-fry skillet traveling at full swing
* ChefOfIron: Combine the tradition of a WhiteMage using a bludgeoning-type weapon with Shinobu as the TeamChef, and the result is her breaking skulls with a [[FryingPanOfDoom 14-inch cast-iron stir-fry skillet]]
* FryingPanOfDoom: She uses cooking implements like maces, and swings them like baseball bats



* WhatTheHellHero: Called out by Motoko following the challenge at the kendo showcase during the first day of Mahorafest after he deliberately provoked Setsuna and then fought unfairly in a challenge match. Konoka, also, called him out on his behavior before the fight even started[[/folder]]

'''Seno Nakakami'''
* AncestralWeapon: A full ''daisho'', katana and wakizashi, handed down over many, many generations, dating from at least the Warring States era of Japan
* AttackAttackAttack: Seno is a fully-offensive character. Whenever he's forced to defend, he tends to lose. Case in point in ''both'' duels against the Aoyama sisters. He stayed on the offensive against Takane, even without his weapons, and won in the end
* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite having just recently been made aware that Setsuna is his sister-in-law, Seno's strong feelings toward family make it a ForegoneConclusion that he could slip into KnightTemplarBigBrother territory without much of a push
* CombatPragmatist: Invoked by Seno. He's said that the only reason he consistently beats Motoko in spars or duels is because he won't fight fairly, and that she'd wipe the floor with him in a fair fight. As demonstrated by their duel to the death, in which he fought not only fairly, but defensively
* ContractualGenreBlindness: Conversed (with himself) in chapter 6, but played straight in several other situations
* EmpathicWeapon: For the first dozen or so chapters, Seno's sword was obviously magical in nature since it physically reacted to certain stimuli, to include cracking, weeping, glowing brilliantly, or outright breaking. It was then revealed in a bonus content chapter that his sword, and the ''wakizashi'' that completes his family's ''daisho'', both house the souls of ancient and powerful warriors
* ExpositionFairy: Conversed in chapter 9
* EyepatchOfPower: Obligatory inclusion with the [[SamuraiWarriors Masamune Date]] costume at Mages vs. Mars
* GenreSavvy: One of the easiest ways to describe Seno
* IKnowMortalKombat: Seno has claimed that his skill at swordplay was self-taught using what he'd seen in anime and video games, and this was supported by his set of special skills at the time. Of course, it all turned out to be bad selective memory...
* InSeriesNickname: It took Seno ''twenty-two'' chapters to finally be pegged with the 'Dragon of Hinata' nickname he's been credited with in all related media. Too bad he hasn't done anything to get that nickname feared. Yet
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: And we're not talking about the memory erasing spells. We're talking about the Type 1 here. Seno showed up at the Hinata out of the blue with ImplausibleFencingPowers and a RuleOfCool EmpathicWeapon, swearing up, down, left, and sideways that his ImplausibleFencingPowers came from IKnowMortalKombat. In reality, he'd been trained in the ''Shinmeiryu'' style from childhood, and apparently forgot not only that he'd been trained, but his soul mate/RedStringOfFate partner over the course of his older child and teenage years. Upon finding and reading a book detailing the history and origins of ''Shinmeiryu'', his memory apparetnly jogs, allowing him to pick up a new class while earning another [[TookALevelInBadass level in Badass]]. Why it wasn't jogged by being exposed to ''Shinmeiryu'' techniques for over a year is anyone's guess
* NoFourthWall: Seno has gone here on occasion
* PrecisionFStrike: He ''did'' spend four years in an American high school. With that knowledge, it's amazing that his speech isn't filled with {{Cluster F Bomb}}s
* RedStringOfFate: Played straight with Seno and Motoko
* ReincarnationRomance: Seno, with Motoko. Outright stated on a few occasions. At least one set of past lives for them had a DownerEnding as a direct result of being StarCrossedLovers. At least that time. Technically, they were this time as well, but Mutsumi was on hand with a Phoenix Down
* SupportingProtagonist: He claims that it's still the story of Keitaro and Naru, but he's not really fooling anyone
* WalkingTechbane: Despite having full working mechanical knowledge of many types of firearms, put one in his hand and the odds are fifty/fifty it'll either [[EpicFail spontaneously explode or just fall apart]]

'''Masaru Nanjou'''
* AssPull: Masaru can literally create any item or person he's studied before, to include movable parts, if he has enough mana to generate and sustain the item
* InsufferableGenius: It may be just a facade, but he's damn good at appearing this way

'''Naru Narusegawa'''
* AngelUnaware: Her distrust in men and anger management issues caused her to lose her celestial power, ability, and even memory of such
* HalfHumanHybrid: Human father, celestial mother
* LaserBlade: Naru's primary weapons so far tend toward producing blades of pure energy from her hand, in a similar vein to that which Evangeline does. It's implied that Naru's are of holy power
* TheMessiah: Briefly appeared this way in chapter 5 when her full power first awakened
* MeteorMove: Her MegatonPunch has been upgraded to this, given her new ridiculous boost in speed and power

'''Mutsumi Otohime'''
* MysticalWaif: She is the ''Yochi no Kouken'', or the World Guardian, whose job is to protect the planet from overtly-harmful forces. She can use the powers of the Lifestream to heal wounds, learn about any given person, or even bring back the dead (with some celestial assistance), keeps an EldritchAbomination that looks and sounds disturbingly similar to [[CosmicHorror Gravemind]] on a short leash, and is the spiritual and technical 'leader' of the Chosen Heroes
* PowerTrio: She is the most public one of the individuals known as the Three Guardians. Almost no other information has been given about the other two, except that one is referred to as "The Captain", and the last apparently likes to dabble in magic societies

'''Lorenzo Ruiz'''
* BottomlessMagazines: The Arlington Magic Society for which he works holds the monopoly on weaponized {{Hammerspace}} for use in storing ammunition for guns
* MauveShirt: Self-proclaimed to be this, no matter how much his creator thinks he's a RedShirt.

'''Kaolla Su'''
* IdenticalStranger: Visually, she and Nealla are completely identical. You can only tell the difference between them by attitude, and when Nealla consciously chooses not to use the same mannerisms as Kaolla

'''Haruka Urashima'''
* TheLeader: She seems to more or less be the spokesperson of the Kuro crew, when a spokesperson with a modicrum of class is required, rather than one likely to respond with random acts of violence or shenanigans

'''Keitaro Urashima'''
* [[MegaManning Blue Magic]]: Said to be Keitaro's Heroic job class. Given that he's known, in the LoveHina manga, to learn attacks by suffering them and even lampshaded it to Motoko once, this was a ForegoneConclusion
* ChosenOne: Well, one of about twelve, anyway

'''Nanao Yuzuki'''
* GamerChick: Equal skill level as Seno in Halo, and prefers close-range weapons, primarily the [[DropTheHammer gravity hammer]]
* ThePowerOfRock: Presumed to be her Heroic class specialty, but she has not yet had the opportunity to demonstrate this[[/folder]]

* ImprobableAimingSkills: In real life, Seno can't hit the broad side of a barn. Hence why he uses a sword. But in ''{{Halo}}'', he's taken the time to study exactly where and how a sniper bullet will ricochet in just such a manner to be able to effectively bullet-bounce every major hiding location in every map in the game

* GenerationXerox: Many of her interactions with Motoko and Seno mirror those of Motoko to Tsuruko, even down to using the archaic honorific ''aneue'' to refer to Motoko. Departing from the norm, she seems to look up more to Seno than Motoko, but that's likely due to the fact that Seno and Setsuna both had players while Motoko has as of yet been an NPC.

* MakeABetterWorld / InSpiteOfANail: The world Chao left was the ''Halo'' universe exactly as depicted in the novels, where there is very little hope of defeating the Covenant and magic is a fairy tale. The world she ''returned'' to after her adventures in the past was different in minor but important ways: many of the bloodlines of famous mages were preserved due to Evangeline's meddling, Lord Hood is in on TheMasquerade, and it can be argued that the protagonist squad themselves would not have been born in the original timeline
