--> ''"For today, let me give you something to think about. Oftentimes, we listen to what people say and see what they do to gather an impression of them. But, there is actually a better way. In battle, when warriors clash, this exchange of blows, slashes, or whatever can invisibly tell a lot about each other – their fighting style, their strength, the amount of effort they are putting in. For us Meisters and Weapons, each time we clash with another like ourselves, inputting our soul into everything, we tell even more. If you concentrate, through a single battle, you can learn so much about the other person."''

!Headmaster
[[folder: Lord Death]]
The God of Death and Order, and the leader and founder of Death Weapon Meister Academy. He is highly respected by everyone below him but is hated by all of his enemies. Lord Death is suspicious of the influx of Evil Humans and Kishin Eggs at the beginning of the story, especially since they seemed to be stronger and more dangerous than ever. Nonetheless, as he is stuck in Death City, he does his best to encourage his followers to keep fighting.
-----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The organization's best fighter and its leader. He is a god after all.
* CatchPhrase: “Now let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work!” seems to have become one for him.
* BadassBaritone: During his LetsGetDangerous moments, otherwise his voice is chipper and goofy.
* BadassInCharge: Of Death Weapon Meister Academy.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Lord Death can be a pretty lenient and sociable fellow for the mighty Academy leader and headmaster. Just don’t piss him off, give him a reason to believe there is something wrong with you (looking at you, Correctional Class), or harm those he is supposed to protect (looking at you, Shaula).
** BewareTheSillyOnes: For the same reasons as the above.
* BondOneLiner: To Shaula. [[spoiler: Subverted in that she manages to barely escape with her life.]]
-->'''Lord Death''': It is done.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Grim Reaper and protect of the world is funny, childish, and dorky at times.
* TheDreaded: People fear and follow his guy for a reason.
* FantasticRacism: Chapter 26 tells us he harbors an intense dislike for Witches because of their actions during the Grim Times and the Period of Destruction. It hasn’t been expounded upon yet, so the details are sketchy.
* GrimReaper / {{Shinigami}}
* LetsGetDangerous: Whenever his voice deepens, you know things are serious.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: He really wants to let his enemies know that, despite being caged in Death City, he’s still the top dog around in this universe. Shaula’s attack on his hometown and subjects provided the perfect opportunity for him to cut loose and give them something to remind him by.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. Lord Death uses shadow skull arms to grab each of his Death Scythes so that they are readily available to him even though he uses only one at a time.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Lord Death can wield his Death Scythes in perfect tandem, effortlessly switching between them and using their respective properties to the fullest.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: He aimed to do this with Shaula when he uses Witch Hunter on her, completely annihilating both her body and soul. [[spoiler: Epic it was, that was a bad move on his part because now he has no way of knowing that Shaula is still alive.]]
** On that note, using ''all'' of his Death Scythes on just one, scared, and injured witch is overkill to begin with.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: His pursuit of Shaula is rather relentless, resulting in what is said to be thousands of dollars in property damage. Azusa even scolds him for causing so much damage while Tezca laughs hysterically about how ironic it is.
-->'''Lord Death''': N-now hold on, Azusa! [[{{Understatement}} Everyone gets a little carried away sometimes!]]
* PhysicalGod: The God of Death and Order.
* PreMortemOneLiner: To Shaula again. [[spoiler: Subverted in that she survives by splitting her soul.]]
-->''“Rest in pieces.”''
* ShroudedInMyth: So few people have actually seen Lord Death at his strongest. His immense might is basically understood through word of mouth and legend. Death City folklore, although, has the following to say about him: ‘The Grim Reaper at His finest, wielding a Death Scythe.’
* SignatureMove: ''REAPER CHOP!''
* ThereAreNoCoincidences: Averted. Stein asks Lord Death if pairing Maka and Soul with Caius and Claudia against the Gemini was intentional. He denies it, but he does say that it provides a good learning experience.
* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Chapter 28. Let it speak for itself.
-->'''Lord Death''': I really, ''really'' don’t appreciate what you’ve done to my city and my people. Have you any idea of the people’s lives you’ve change for the worst? I don’t think you do. I swear, you Witches think you can do anything in your silly little pursuit for dominance. Though, I think I have myself to blame. You’ve forgotten who the guardian of this world is. I’m going to make an example of you, Shaula Gorgon. To let my enemies know who’s still in charge around here.

!Homeroom Teachers
[[folder: Professor Franken Stein]]
MadScientist extraordinaire. Franken Stein is known far and wide as the best meister to ever graduate from the Academy. He still harbors his uncanny love for dissection. He is the current homeroom teacher of Class Crescent Moon. He also is the head of the Medical Club and has a Health class.
-----
* BadassTeacher: The homeroom teacher of Class Crescent Moon is also the most notorious, most renowned Meister in the history of the Academy.
* MadDoctor
* MadScientist
* NervesOfSteel: He never once drops his usual demeanor when fighting Kim and Tsuji. Take note that their fight involved extremely destructive fire.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: In Chapter 2, Stein goes to the Correctional Class homeroom for Noel. He doesn’t know this yet, but he is away at the time. He knocks on the door and hears the students on the other side scrambling to fix things up. Stein enters and a disappointed student points out it’s not Noel. Cue Stein’s glasses glinting as he looks at said student.
* {{Troll}}: He still takes pleasure in messing with people.
* WorldsStrongestMan[=/=]WorldsBestWarrior: Stein is the World’s Strongest Meister.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Professor Gregory Matilda]]
The 41-year-old homeroom teacher of the Half Moon Class and godfather of Meredith and Luther. He apparently bears a grudge toward Professor Stein and Class Crescent Moon for presently unknown reasons.
-----
* AnimalMotifs: Appears to be the lion.
* {{Jerkass}}: Doesn’t bother to remember those who leave the Half Moon Class and calls Class Crescent Moon “pathetic.” [[ThisIsGonnaSuck This isn’t gonna be fun in the future…]]
* RazorSharpHand: Focal Jab. In its debut usage, Crona uses Black Blood to NoSell it.
* SharpDressedMan: Earning him the dubious nickname of “Penguin Suit Freak” by Ragnarok.
* SternTeacher / SadistTeacher: Ox brings forth the rumor that Professor Matilda is very strict in both training and teaching. Caius doesn’t exactly deny those, but his methods do work.
* SupernaturalMartialArts: Knows Soul Fist from the Olmett Family.
* WhatsInItForMe: Says this trope word-for-word when Stein asks for his help for the field exam. Though, he’s keeping his students in mind as well since he doesn’t like that Class Crescent Moon is getting something the others aren’t.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Noel Isaac Ricardsen]]
In ''Soul Eater: Troubled Souls'', Noel debuts as the 42-year-old father of Tsuji and Rowena Ricardsen and the husband of Rosalind. Noel Isaac Ricardsen is the currently employed as the DWMA's head disciplinarian as well as the homeroom teacher for the Correctional Class. He has an older brother named Edward. Three years prior, in Chicago, he stopped and offered aid to Marcellus and Nayumi and began training his children after the four decided to partner up and join the Academy

!!!Note: Unless it’s related or expounds upon something in Troubled Souls, please keep all ''Fanfic/SoulEaterZeta'' tropes and information about Noel [[Characters/SoulEaterZeta here]].
-----
* ActionDad: Even tough guys love their children.
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: He tousles Nayumi’s hair when she hangs off his arm.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Well, Stein ''did'' say the legend about the Enchanted Eyes said users sacrifice a part of their humanity.. [[WildMassGuessing Who knows if that's true?]]
* BadassBaritone: A dry, deep, commanding voice.
* BadassTeacher: As you’d expect of a DWMA teacher.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: A good guy with a demonically-themed power and immense strength.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: His battle gloves give him a justified reason for doing so.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: He does care about good students and his children. That said, he's not consistently nice.
* CloseRangeCombatant: Can only fight opponents when they’re within an arm’s reach of him. Fist of Balam is shown to be a projectile, but that only does so much for him.
* CreepyGood: Not as creepy as, say, Dr. Stein, but it’s still there.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: [[SubvertedTrope Sort of]]. He has dark auburn eyes (a shade of orange), but orange is one of two of his hair colors.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Tends to wear black along with orange and his Enchanted Eye(s) theme is demonism, but he works for the side of good.
* TheDreaded: The very first chapter of ''Soul Eater Zeta'' showed that Noel was an extremely feared {{Berserker}}. Even in the present, in ''Troubled Souls'', when he steps into a room, most of the students believe someone is in trouble and don’t want to get hurt themselves.
* DeadpanSnarker[=/=]DangerDeadpan: Noel is almost always speaking in a dry, deadpan voice. That said, this story is a WorldOfSnark for a reason.
* GoodIsNotSoft[=/=]GoodIsNotNice: Noel isn't afraid to make someone fear him.
* GoodParents: In ''spades''. He appears abrasive and cold, but Noel is a loving and caring father to his children. He does his best to make sure Tsuji succeeds in mastering the Enchanted Eyes without the negative side-effects he suffered. It’s too early to see what he will do for Rowena, but it can be assumed Noel loves her all the same. This extends to Marcellus and Nayumi, who he has no blood ties with. He offers advice and care to the both of them, completely empathetic to their checkered pasts. Prior to the story’s beginning, Noel shapes all four of them into brilliant fighters on par with the seasoned veteran students in ability.
-->'''Nayumi''': Mr. Ricardseeeen! (''jumps and latches onto his arm'') Hi. Did you miss us? Did you miss us?!\\
'''Noel''': (''ruffles her hair'') No.
* HeroesFightBarehanded: Excepting the Enchanted Eye and what comes with it, Noel strictly uses hand-to-hand combat.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: He's got a tough and thorny outward demeanor, but Noel can be quite nice. Case in point, he had no reason to stop and give Marcellus and Nayumi shelter (and later take care of them under his house's roof) other than the goodness of his heart.
* KnightInSourArmor: Works for the DWMA to fight evil, but doesn’t have the characteristic hammy or eccentric personality.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Demon Shield.
* MagicalEye: The Enchanted Eye. He can use both eyes at once, but during his days as a student, his brother Edward and Emma forbid him from using them. So he developed the one-eyed variant he uses today. It provides all the same benefits, but the exact drawbacks and differences aren't known.
* MalfunctionMalady[=/=]UnSorcerer: Like Marcellus, Noel’s got Pheryoxoma according to his character profile. It prevents Demon Weapons from undergoing PartialTransformation. This disease is especially potent in Noel’s case considering, unlike Marcellus, he has no partner and this therefore decreases his potential as a fighter (he would’ve been able to be autonomous like Justin). Then again, [[FridgeBrilliance that might’ve been the author’s intention.]]
* MulticoloredHair: Black and orange.
* TheObiWan: Parts of the Introduction Arc and the entire Joint Resonance Training Arc are geared toward shaping him as this for the entire Crescent Moon Class. He really does know what he’s talking about. Non-lethal example, of course.
* OlderAndWiser: Inevitably. He’s a student in ''Soul Eater Zeta'' but now an aged teacher in ''Soul Eater: Troubled Souls''. A lot must have happened.
* OnlyFriend: Noel has very few friends in the world, and he usually deems those who reached out to him during his Bloody Shield days as such true friends. They are Amagai, Rukia, Rosalind, and Clorinda Olmett. Rosalind ascends to his spouse. The poor guy is ''crushed'' when he sees Amagai and Rukia dead in the Vladingham Massacre’s aftermath, and he thankfully don’t see his reaction to Rosalind’s untimely demise. One of his goals is to bring their killers to justice. This means Clorinda is truly his Only Friend, but the character has yet to make a physical appearance.
* OnlySaneEmployee: Shares this role with Azusa.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: See RedBaron. Demonism is also his Enchanted Eyes theme.
* PeekABangs: They cover the eye that demonstrates the Enchanted Eye, but it’s not always activated. This trope doesn’t exist in ''Soul Eater Zeta''.
* PerpetualFrowner: Good luck seeing genuine smiles out of this man. Heck, good luck seeing him grin or smirk!
* HouseHusband: A flashback indicates his wife, Rosalind, is the one who went out working while he stayed at home to tend to the children and keep the house in order. He also cooks and cleans. Even now as a single parent, he still does both.
* RedBaron: "The Bloody Shield" and the "Demon of the DWMA"
* RetiredMonster: His Bloody Shield days are obviously over.
* TheStoic: He’s pretty much the good version of Cancer in this regard.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem:
** He supervised the Joint Resonance training and explicitly said to hold back and evaluate the students. He decided that Black☆Star and Kid deserved to fight him with his Enchanted Eye activated.
** Earlier than that, Crona decided to use some of the Black Blood against Maka in their quick spar in the classroom. Special techniques weren’t allowed. Noel let this one slide, too, because he had never seen this before.
* SternTeacher: He’s going to make sure you learn your lesson (a figurative or literal one) no matter what.
* SuperStrength: His modus operandi.
* UnskilledButStrong: He's such a powerful opponent because of his massive strength, Enchanted Eye and experience. However, he's untrained and unrefined. He gets injured a lot because he has to tank certain attacks because his options are so limited. Heck, the reason he got so strong is because Noel got into many fights and was exposed to an array of different fighters.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Apparently soul wavelength attacks, such as Soul Force, disrupt his Enchanted Eye and Demonic Wavelength.

[[folder: Yojimbo Mifune]]
Mifune is the guardian the child witch Angela Leon. He is a legendary samurai with the title of “Sword God.” He was beaten by Black☆Star during the Baba Yaga Castle invasion and left Arachnophobia for the Academy, taking Angela with him. Now, he is a teacher at the organization and heads the Swordsmanship Club.
-----
* HopelessWithTech: Type 2. His skills are children and swords, not high-tech devices. However, he’s not that bad because he managed to fix a glitching timer in due time.
* MasterSwordsman
* {{Samurai}}
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Story details tell you that Mifune and Black☆Star had their epic manga fight, but he survives the end like in the anime.
* SternTeacher: As the Swordsmanship Club Head, he warns his prospects that following the path of the sword is a tough challenge.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep / HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: Chapter 21 reveals that his first name is supposedly Yojimbo. A “yojimbo” is a Japanese word for bouncer or bodyguard. That’s essentially what Mifune’s job has been most of his life. It’s unknown if the author chose that to be his actual name or not.

[[folder: Kathi Rumeri]]
A middle-aged woman (37, to be exact) who acts as another librarian to the Academy’s Library. She also runs the Book Club and coaches Tennis. She is retired from active duty in the DWMA but became a Three-Star Meister during her tenure. According to herself, she has gone through many twists and turns during her service time. Despite her mannerisms and temperament, Kathi is probably one of the wisest individuals in the setting, not unlike Noel.
-----
* AdjustingYourGlasses: A unique case in that she regulates them by using the knuckle of her forefinger.
* {{Adorkable}}: The slightest of provocation tends to invoke a rather interesting or humorous reaction out of her.
* AlmightyJanitor: She’s a very capable fighter on her own, but she is retired from active duty, instead working as one of the school’s librarians. While some faculty and students like Maka are aware that she’s a Three-Star Meister, most probably aren’t.
* BadassBookworm: What did you expect? She’s a librarian and the Book Club head. It’s made clear that if Kathi wasn’t told to hold back, or if she just didn’t stop when Donum Dei was activated, she could have beaten Maka and Caius at the same time. ''She didn’t use a Demon Weapon,'' by the way.
* BigWhat: She does this two times in the same scene. The first was when Noel said he needed her for the field exam. The second was when he said she’ll need her again when he teaches the Correctional Class Joint Resonance. She was shushed by all library-goers both times.
* ChristmasCake: Her students call her “Ms. Rumeri” which means she’s either unmarried or divorced. With no signs of a child at age 37, it appears she’s this.
* ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask: She gives Maka and Caius a meaningful lecture and asks heavy questions while casually dodging and blocking their attacks.
* HairDecoration: A blue, Lord Death-style hairclip. According to her, ItWasAGift from Lord Death when she announced her retirement two years ago. Probably as thanks for her service.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She laments her inability to do anything despite being a RetiredBadass. She tends to downplay her power and status despite being deceptively capable. She chooses not to do much else after Maka and Caius begin Donum Dei, believing her moment has expired and that she’s done what she needed to.
* HopelessWithTech: Type 2. She’s less tech-savvy than Mifune, who is also a Type 2 example.
* {{Meganekko}}: Fits her job as a librarian.
* PrimAndProperBun: Helps with the librarian image.
* RetiredBadass: Kathi has been in retirement for two years. However, she’s a Three-Star Meister and showed she earned that accolade in the field exam.
* SenseiChan: Not as much as Marie, but it’s there.
* SilkHidingSteel: The silk? Kathi is quite nice and friendly. The steel? You did read RetiredBadass, right?
* StealthMentor: Kathi kicks Maka’s and Caius’s asses with no effort even when they thought she was just an unassuming, retired librarian. During it, she gives advice and asks questions based on her own personal experiences to get them thinking and ready for the future. All that said, she isn’t antagonistic and wasn’t presented as such, just an obstacle for the field exam.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Maka and Caius ''definitely'' didn’t think Kathi could take them both on.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: If Soul’s JawDrop is any indication, Kathi doesn’t look 37-years-old.
