| 8 | |
| 9 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 10 | * SwornBrothers: At the start of the story, Kan'u and Chouhi swear a vow of sisterhood. In the second season, Ryuubi wants to become Kan'u's sworn little sister too, but Chouhi decides to make her Kan'u's sworn older sister without Kan'u's permission. Eventually, Kan'u gives in and calls Ryuubi her "[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology Aneue]]". |
| 11 | * TownGirls: The sweet and ingenue Ryuubi is Femme, the tomboyish and brash Chouhi is Butch and the stern yet caring Kan'u is Neither. |

| 14 | [[folder:Kan'u]] |
| 15 | !!Kan'u (Private name: Aisha; Courtesy name: Unchou) |
| 16 | ->Voiced by: Nami Kurokawa |
| 17 | [[quoteright:307:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aisha_anime.png]] |
| 18 | |
| 19 | A famous bandit hunter known as the Beautiful Black-haired Bandit Fighter. She wields the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. |
| 20 | ---- |
| 21 | * AdoptivePeerParent: While they're sworn sisters, Kan'u mostly acts as Chouhi's adopted mother despite being only a few years older than her. |
| 22 | * BareHandedBladeBlock: Kan'u pulls one off in episode 11 of season one. |
| 23 | * BigBrotherWorship: Kan'u's unnamed brother was shown as her selfless protector, going so far as to save her life at the cost of his own. It was probably by having such an admirable older brother, that Kan'u developed her own BigSisterInstinct when the time came. |
| 24 | * BigLittleSister: Despite Ryuubi being younger than her, she becomes Kan'u's older sister through their vow of sisterhood because Chouhi doesn't want to share her little sister position. By the start of ''Otome Tairan'', Kan'u calls Ryuubi "[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology Aneue]]". |
| 25 | * BigSisterInstinct: She always looks after her sworn little sister Chouhi. In later seasons, she also becomes protective of her other sworn sister Ryuubi, although Kan'u is nominally the younger sister of the two. This is probably because Kan'u's older brother died protecting her and she wants to follow his example by being a protective sister. |
| 26 | * CelibateHeroine: Kan'u is primarily focused on her goal of saving a war-torn Ancient China, so romance isn't something she's looking for. The exception to this portrayal is in the last two episodes of season one where she feels attracted to the fake Ryuubi until she sees the selfish GlorySeeker he really is. |
| 27 | * CoolBigSis: Rinrin adores Kan'u as her older sister. |
| 28 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Her entire family was murdered by bandits when she was young. |
| 29 | * DCupDistress: She gets easily embarrassed when people mention how big her breasts are. |
| 30 | * ExpectingSomeoneTaller: When people hear of the Beautiful Black-haired Bandit Fighter, they are expecting she's a stunningly beautiful woman. They tend to feel disappointed when they meet Kan'u, as they find her [[GenericCuteness rather average in looks]]. |
| 31 | * TheHeroine: The first season is mostly about Kan'u's heroics during her quest to fight off evil bandits. |
| 32 | * IGaveMyWord: Kan'u never goes back on her promises. Sousou constantly reaffirms the promise for sex Kan'u made to get her to "cooperate". |
| 33 | * IndignantSlap: She delivers a well-deserved slap to the Fake Ryuubi when he tries to persuade her into abandoning Touka Village and her friends there for the sake of his pursuit of power in the military. |
| 34 | * LargeHam: When it comes to beating up bandits, Kan'u loves announcing it with hams. |
| 35 | * LikeParentLikeSpouse: Or Like Brother, Like Spouse in her case. Kan'u feels attracted to the fake Ryuubi because he physically resembled her deceased older brother. After she realizes the fake Ryuubi doesn't care about anything but his own glory, she gets over her crush because he's nothing like the kind brother who died protecting her. |
| 36 | * LustObject: Sousou has been sexually harassing Kan'u since they first met. Kan'u got dangerously near to losing her virginity to Sousou as part of a bargain and Sousou makes it clear she hasn't given up on doing so eventually. |
| 37 | * MaamShock: When Ryuubi is MistakenForPregnant, Kan'u opposes to the idea of becoming an HonoraryAunt because aunt and old woman are spelled the same in Japanese and she's still too young to be called that. |
| 38 | * MuggingTheMonster: Bandits think Kan'u is an easy mark. They find out the hard way she's a famous bandit-hunter. |
| 39 | * ParentalSubstitute: She calls herself Chouhi's older sister, but Kan'u can also act like a mother figure to the little orphan due to basically adopting her. In fact, people mistake her for Chouhi's mother more often than not. |
| 40 | * RavenHairIvorySkin: Her long jet-black skin and fair skin are what earned her reputation as a beauty. Most people are usually unimpressed when they meet her in person because of GenericCuteness, but Sousou repeatedly expresses her desire to get her hands on Kan'u's gorgeous black hair. |
| 41 | * RedBaron: The Beautiful Black-haired Bandit Fighter. |
| 42 | * SlipknotPonytail: In ''Otome Tairan'' episode 11, she and Chouryou have an intense fight where the hair accessory keeping up her side-ponytail breaks off. |
| 43 | * TeamMom: Kan'u acts like a responsible mom for her group of friends made up by kids and immature girls. |
| 44 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's completely scared of ghosts. |

| 47 | [[folder:Chouhi]] |
| 48 | !!Chouhi (Private name: Rinrin; Courtesy name: Yokutoku) |
| 49 | ->Voiced by: Miya Serizono (credited as Hiroka Nishizawa) |
| 50 | [[quoteright:301:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rinrin_anime.png]] |
| 51 | |
| 52 | A cheerful little girl who likes to play at being the leader of a kids bandit group called Rin Rin Bandits. The reason she made that group was so she wouldn't feel lonely. Kan'u convinces her to stop pulling pranks and they make a vow to be sworn sisters. She's the first person to join Kan'u in her journey. |
| 53 | ---- |
| 54 | * AnimalMotifs: Her jacket has a tiger strip pattern in it and has a tiger hairclip. |
| 55 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: In all but blood to Kan'u. While Kan'u loves Chouhi as her little sister, Chouhi's childish antics can still be obnoxious at times. |
| 56 | * BigSisterWorship: She and Kan'u aren't real sisters, but Chouhi clearly adores her. |
| 57 | * BondingOverMissingParents: Chouhi and Kan'u bond for the first time when they learn both of them were orphaned by evil bandits. |
| 58 | * BoyishShortHair: She's pretty tomboyish and tough. Fittingly, she keeps her hair short. |
| 59 | * BrattyHalfPint: In her first appearance, Chouhi is a troublemaker who formed a band of "bandits" with the other children of her village to play pranks on the adults. Kan'u stops her before Chouhi gets in serious trouble with the feudal lord. |
| 60 | * ConstantlyCurious: PlayedForLaughs whenever she asks questions about the female body and physical intimacy that embarrasses almost everyone. Kan'u almost always refuses to answer. |
| 61 | * CuteClumsyGirl: Chouhi immediately stumbles and breaks things when told to perform some basic manual tasks. |
| 62 | * CuteLittleFangs: Her sharp fangs represent her energetic and mischievous personality. They also go along with her tiger motif. |
| 63 | * DeathGlare: She even can scare off a tiger with it! |
| 64 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: In the first episode, Kan'u challenges Chouhi to a duel after the latter angered the feudal lord with her pranks. The fight ends when Chouhi loses her will to fight and starts crying out of loneliness. Afterwards, Chouhi admits she lost to Kan'u, invites her to spend the night at her house and asks her to be her sworn sister, which Kan'u agrees to. |
| 65 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: In the first season, she's the second most important and focal character after Kan'u. |
| 66 | * ExpressiveAccessory: Her tiger hairpin always mimics her expression. |
| 67 | * FieryRedhead: She has orangish red hair and she's a pretty energetic, hotheaded kid. |
| 68 | * HappilyAdopted: In name they're sisters, but Chouhi has been all but officially adopted by Kan'u. People tend to mistake Chouhi for Kan'u's daughter, to the latter's chagrin. |
| 69 | * HatesBeingAlone: The reason why she was ThePrankster and played at being bandits with other kids was because she was desperately lonely after her grandfather died. Once Kan'u agrees to be her older sister, Chouhi joins her journey so doesn't have to be alone anymore. |
| 70 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: She speaks whatever is on her mind and says things about people that can be hurtful without realizing it. Such as casually calling Koumei [[ACupAngst flat-chested]] and making Ryuubi to think she's getting fat by commenting her thighs are flabby. |
| 71 | * InsaneTrollLogic: Chouhi believes that by letting her spear fall on a crossroads, whatever direction it lands pointing towards is the divinely chosen correct path. |
| 72 | * InsultMisfire: Done in the following exchange with Gien: |
| 73 | --->'''Gien:''' Shut up, you flat-chested midget! \ |
| 74 | '''Chouhi:''' What?! Apologize to Shuri! |
| 75 | * LittleMissBadass: She may be small, but she's roughly on the same level as Kan'u when it comes to battle. |
| 76 | * NaiveAnimalLover: On two occasions, she hugs dangerous wild animals (a bear and a boar) because she mistakes them for her childhood pets. Once she realizes her mistake, she and her friends end up having to run for their lives. |
| 77 | * NewFriendEnvy: At first, she gets very jealous when her friend and big sister figure Kan'u is getting along with Koumei. She gets over it when she sees Koumei's efforts to help Kan'u and doesn't protest when Koumei joins them in their journey. |
| 78 | * ParentalAbandonment: When she was very young, a group of bandits killed her parents and was taken in by her grandfather. But when he passed away, she was all alone, until she met Kan'u. |
| 79 | * ThePrankster: Before Kan'u met her, Chouhi would pull pranks all over her hometown with her 'underlings'. This even got her in trouble with the local landlord and Kan'u get to stop her so Chouhi wouldn't be harshly punished. |
| 80 | * RaisedByGrandparents: She was raised by her grandfather after her parents were killed by bandits, but he died shortly before the start of the anime. |
| 81 | * RedBaron: Fierce Pig General. |
| 82 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: She wears a red scarf around her neck. |
| 83 | * ThirdPersonPerson: She uses her private name as a substitute of 'I', something viewed as inappropriate. |
| 84 | * TooManyBelts: Two overlapping, both purely ornamental given her skin-tight spats. |
| 85 | * VerbalTic: She ends her sentences with "nano-da". |

| 88 | [[folder:Ryuubi]] |
| 89 | !!Ryuubi (Private name: Touka; Courtesy name: Gentoku) |
| 90 | ->Voiced by: Creator/MaiGoto |
| 91 | [[quoteright:186:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/touka_anime.jpg]] |
| 92 | |
| 93 | Introduced in ''Shin Koihime Musou''. Ryuubi is a descendant of a distinguished family who was given possession of a sword, the family heirloom, before she encountered the man who would eventually steal her name and her sword, causing her to fall into disgrace. To redeem herself, she ventures out in search for the man and her sword, which leads her to Kan'u and company, who are greatly surprised of her identity. After being attacked twice by bandits while venturing alone, she concedes to Chouun's suggestion of joining their group for protection. |
| 94 | ---- |
| 95 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Ryuubi calls Kousonsan "Pai-pai" instead of her true name Pairen, much to the latter's annoyance. |
| 96 | * ActualPacifist: She's the only main character who isn't a fighter and explicitly hates violence. |
| 97 | * TheAllegedBoss: Ryuubi is nominally the commander of Touka Village's army. But that's because her impostor was the one who originally recruited Kan'u and her friends and they want to save up the trouble of making a new flag. Ryuubi doesn't ever act like a commander. This is lampshaded in the recap of Episode 10 of ''Otome Tairan''; the narrator was going to say Kan'u was leading Touka Village's army until she corrected herself and said it was Ryuubi. |
| 98 | * BlueBlood: She's descended from a high-ranking family. |
| 99 | * ButtMonkey: Her bad luck started with her family sword and identity being stolen by a bandit. Her mother would throw her into a river whenever she remembered it until Ryuubi left the house. In her first episode alone, she gets sexually assaulted by bandits ''twice'' and people try to attack her because they mistake her for her impostor. |
| 100 | * DamselInDistress: |
| 101 | ** Twice in her introduction episode. On both occassions, she's attacked by the same group of bandits, both cases being rescued by Kan'u and company. The second enters AttemptedRape territory. |
| 102 | ** Happens yet again in ''Otome Tairan'' when she tries to help Gien, only to get into trouble herself, and resulting in another AttemptedRape incident. |
| 103 | * TheDitz: Ryuubi isn't the brightest girl around, to say the least. |
| 104 | * DontCallMeSir: After Chouhi makes her Kan'u's sworn older sister, Ryuubi keeps telling Kan'u to call her "[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology Onee-chan]]" instead of the respectable "Ryuubi[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics -dono]]". Eventually, Kan'u settles for calling Ryuubi "Aneue". |
| 105 | * FamousAncestor: She claims to be a descendant of the legendary emperor Chuuzan Seiou. |
| 106 | * {{Fangirl}}: One huge fan of the IdolSinger Chou sisters. |
| 107 | * ForgedByTheGods: In ''Otome Tairan'', Ryuubi gets a new sword that is said to have been created by a Dragon God, as a reward for Ryuubi protecting its egg before it hatched. |
| 108 | * FriendToAllChildren: She gets along very well with children, such as Chouhi and some orphans the group encounters in their journey. |
| 109 | * GirlishPigtails: She ties some of her hair up in pigtails, combined with odango hair. |
| 110 | * HeroesPreferSwords: Ryuubi takes over the role of main heroine from ''Shin Koihime'' onward and she also happens to be the only main character to have a sword as her weapon. |
| 111 | * HeroWorshipper: From the moment Butterfly Mask saves her from bandits, she starts worshipping her like a cool and strong hero of justice. Funnily enough, she somehow doesn't realize Chouun is Butterfly Mask. |
| 112 | * HistoricalInJoke: She's very good at weaving straw mats, which is her family trade. This is a nod to her historical counterpart Liu Bei, who grew up poor and sold straw mats for a living. |
| 113 | * HypocriticalHumor: After getting ambushed by bandits, Ryuubi states she's smart enough not to be a DamselInDistress again. Seconds later, she's back into the role. |
| 114 | * InnocentBlueEyes: She has blue eyes and her personality is sweet and naive to the extreme. |
| 115 | * KindheartedSimpleton: She's something of an airhead, but her heart is gentle and pure. |
| 116 | * MistakenForAnImposter: She's the real Ryuubi, but people who hear of her tend to assume she's the imposter who stole her name and sword until they meet her in person. |
| 117 | * MistakenForPregnant: In the first episode of ''Otome Tairan'', all her friends notice how she has been acting strangely such as rubbing her belly and refusing to eat. This leads them to suspect she's pregnant. The next morning, Ryuubi wakes up with a stomachache and her friends start panicking because they think Ryuubi is on labor. The truth is Ryuubi didn't want to eat because she was just worried about getting fat and then got food poisoning from eating Chouun's rotten menma out of hunger. |
| 118 | * NiceGirl: Polite, kind-hearted and gentle to a fault. |
| 119 | * OnlyICanKillHim: After hearing Kada's explanation of the "Dragon Sword", everyone has come to the conclusion that Ryuubi, with the sword she now has, is the only one with a chance of slaying Ukitsu. [[spoiler:She actually delivers in the final battle when she stabs Ukitsu, killing him.]] |
| 120 | * RegalRinglets: She wears some of her hair in GirlishPigtails that curl into ringlets. She also mentions she's descended from a distinguished linage. |
| 121 | * RescueIntroduction: She's properly introduced when Kan'u and her friends have to save her from getting assaulted by bandits. |
| 122 | * RoseHairedSweetie: She has dark rosy hair, fitting perfectly with her sweet and gentle personality. |
| 123 | * StealthClothes: She ties a handkerchief around her head when raiding the pantry after her failed diet. |
| 124 | * SuperGullible: Possibly the only person clueless enough to not see through Chouun's PaperThinDisguise as Butterfly Mask. |
| 125 | * TooDumbToLive: She naively let a complete stranger grab her valuable family sword and told him everything about her prestigious linage. As you would expect, he took her sword and her identity to himself and threw her off a cliff. Ryuubi only survived out of sheer luck. |
| 126 | * WeightWoe: While she doesn't look any visibly heavier since the second series, Ryuubi freaks out over Chouhi saying how soft her lap feels in ''Otome Tairan''. She decides to try dieting and exercising to lose the extra weight, but due to poor self-control and physical weakness, her efforts don't go as planned. After attempting to starve herself, she just can't take it anymore and finally gives in. Although the unhealthy dieting and exercising ceases, Ryuubi continues to worry about her weight. Also fits as TruthInTelevision. |

| 133 | ->Voiced by: Creator/EmiMotoi |
| 134 | [[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sei_anime.png]] |
| 135 | |
| 136 | Chouun is a mysterious girl who appears calm, collected, and very powerful. She is the second person to join the group. She loves to tease Kan'u and other women frequently. She also assumes the identity of a hero of justice named Butterfly Mask, hence wearing a butterfly mask. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * AmbiguouslyGay: She likes to sexually harass [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Kan'u]] and did ''something'' to Bachou in her sleep that she leaves unsaid because she's a virgin. It's never made explicit whether she's a lesbian or [[TheTease she just likes messing around]]. |
| 139 | * AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Animal Alias type. Chouun likes to pretend she's a superheroine by putting on a butterfly mask and calling herself "Butterfly Mask". |
| 140 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: In the second HighSchoolAU OVA, she turns into a giant as Ultra Butterfly Mask. |
| 141 | * BerserkButton: Never eat menma in front of her. She won't even want to speak with you afterwards. |
| 142 | * {{Chuunibyou}}: As seen by her tendency to put on a mask and pretend she's a hero of justice. |
| 143 | * CleavageWindow: Her dress has an opening that shows off her cleavage. |
| 144 | * DeathGlare: She'll give one to whosoever dares to even look at her TrademarkFavoriteFood. Somewhat [[{{Flanderization}} flanderized]] progressively throughout the anime. |
| 145 | * FireForgedFriends: Chouun becomes friends with Kan'u when both fight together in a lair of bandits. |
| 146 | * TheGadfly: She enjoys teasing others and make up stories just to get them upset or scared. |
| 147 | * HairIntakes: The two "cat ears" that are part of her hairdo. |
| 148 | * InTheNameOfTheMoon: "At times, a traveling warrior who loves menma. Other times, a mysterious bare-naked beauty in the flower-filled hot springs. But her true identity is a lone butterfly dancing through the war-torn world! The messenger of beauty and justice, Butterfly Mask!" |
| 149 | * LargeHam: Chouun is pretty good at making up fabulous stories and entrance speeches. |
| 150 | * MysteriousProtector: After getting separated from Kan'u and Chouhi, she keeps showing up as Butterfly Mask at random to help them from time to time. However, she just comes off as ridiculous instead of mysterious. |
| 151 | * NightmareFace: Chouun makes a face so that her friends can remember her by. While the camera only reveals the girls' disturbed reactions, the Blu-Ray release decidedly censors her face, preventing the audience from seeing it. It's probably too disturbing that the animators dare not show it. |
| 152 | * PaperThinDisguise: Her "disguise" as Butterfly Mask consists of just a butterfly mask. [[SuperGullible Ryuubi]] is the only one who doesn't recognize her. |
| 153 | * PutOnABus: |
| 154 | ** In the first season, Chouun gets lost in the fog and is separated from Kan'u and Chouhi. She doesn't rejoin the group until the season finale. |
| 155 | ** The same thing happens again in Episode 10 of ''Shin Koihime'' and by the time the third season starts, Chouun is still missing from the group. Turns out Chouun had already returned to Touka Village because she got tired of waiting for a chance to pop up as Butterfly Mask and casually rejoins the group. |
| 156 | * SeeYouInHell: She said this to Kan'u before facing off against an overwhelming force of bandits on a very narrow cliff; fortunately, they get out of it. |
| 157 | * SeriousBusiness: Don't speak lightly of menma in front of Chouun. They're a ''very'' serious matter to her. |
| 158 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Menma, or fermented bamboo shoots. On some occasions, she asks ramen with nothing but menma as toppings. |
| 159 | * WithFriendsLikeThese: Chouun loves to tease and publicly humiliate, as well as molest her friends. |

| 164 | ->Voiced by: Maki Kobayashi |
| 165 | [[quoteright:177:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sui_anime.jpg]] |
| 166 | |
| 167 | The third person to join the group. Bachou is Chouhi's friend and daughter of the late Batou who was supposedly killed by Sousou. Although she speaks like a man, she is really a simple, straight-forward, and easily embarrassed girl. She wields a simple looking spear but is very strong in both power and form. |
| 168 | ---- |
| 169 | * BigEater: Her appetite is as huge as Chouhi's. Ryuubi thinks she doesn't get fat despite eating so much because she trains intensely every day. |
| 170 | * HeavySleeper: Whatever Chouun's "retribution" was to Bachou, she was completely unaware of it in season one. In ''Shin Koihime'', Batai groped her and drew on her face without her stirring. |
| 171 | * IdiotHair: She has a strand of hair prominently sticking out atop her head. |
| 172 | * LivingLieDetector: Apparently, being exceptionally skilled allows Bachou to tell if a person is lying by merely looking at their fighting stance. |
| 173 | * MistakenForMasturbating: In the first episode of ''Shin Koihime Musou'', Riri gets a glimpse of Bachou sitting on her bed in front of a paper. Bachou was practicing calling Chouhi by her private name Rinrin, but the first thing Chouun guesses is that Bachou was "using her fingers to climb the stairs to Heaven". |
| 174 | * MushroomSamba: Gets a trip from eating a psychedelic mushroom in the mountains. |
| 175 | * OutOfFocus: From the second season onwards, Bachou becomes a much less prominent character since she stays behind from the main adventures alongside Kouchuu. She only gets a very minor DayInTheLimelight episode. |
| 176 | * PottyEmergency: She spends most of Episode 11 of ''Shin Koihime'' needing to go to the bathroom after her cousin Batai makes her drink a giant gourd of water and hold it in just to prove she doesn't wet herself anymore. |
| 177 | * TerribleArtist: She once paints a portrait of Chouhi that Bachou thinks looks identical to the real thing. Truth is it's a deformed scribble. |
| 178 | * TomboyishPonytail: She's a brash and masculine fighter and wears a ponytail to show it. |
| 179 | * TomboyishVoice: She speaks in a very low, gruff voice and she's one of the least feminine girls in the cast. |
| 180 | * {{Tsundere}}: A bit of a Sweet type towards Chouhi. Bachou is normally friendly and laidback, but when Chouhi gives her a peck on the cheek to make up after a fight, Bachou gets HighPressureEmotion, calls Chouhi an idiot several times and runs off in embarrassment. |
| 181 | * YouKilledMyFather: Bachou tries to kill Sousou at one point for supposedly killing her father. Ultimately subverted when it's revealed her father died falling off his horse. |

| 188 | |
| 189 | The fourth to join the group. Koumei is a kind and reserved girl around the same age as Chouhi, but is a smart, good strategist in battle. She wants to become a great scholar like her master Suikyou. |
| 190 | ---- |
| 191 | * ACupAngst: She doesn't like to be reminded of her flat chest. |
| 192 | * AdorablyPrecociousChild: Koumei usually acts like a mini adult despite being about as young as Chouhi, which makes her all the more adorable. |
| 193 | * BigSisterInstinct: She immediately develops one when she meets Houtou, Suikyou's new apprentice. Since Koumei was separated from her biological little sister, she wants to act like a big sister to her fellow student. |
| 194 | * ChildProdigy: Koumei is a prodigy at war strategies, but she's still a kid and no matter how hard she tries to act mature, she stills has her moments of immaturity on the level of Chouhi. |
| 195 | * CovertPervert: In ''Shin Koihime'', she is revealed to have taken up the hobby of reading perverted books. |
| 196 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has blonde hair and is one of the kindest and helpful girls in the anime. |
| 197 | * HappilyAdopted: She was orphaned at a young age and was separated from her sisters as they were passed over different caretakers. She eventually ended up at the place of Suikyou's teacher and Suikyou took her as her apprentice. They clearly love each other as real mother and daughter. |
| 198 | * TheMedic: She was trained in herbal medicine by Suikyou, which comes in handy when one of her friends gets injured. |
| 199 | * NewTransferStudent: The first HighschoolAU OVA starts with Koumei arriving at the school as a transfer student. |
| 200 | * NiceGirl: Very gentle, helpful and hardworking. |
| 201 | * ShorterMeansSmarter: She's one of the short girls in the main cast and is the smartest character too. |

| 205 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's afraid of heights. |

After her daughter was kidnapped by bandits, they tried to force her to assassinate an official that had been cracking down on bandits. Kan'u and her friends rescued the child before the assassination could take place. She later joins Kan'u's group as a way to repay the debt she feels she owes. |

| 219 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a gentle and motherly woman, but she can be terrifying to those who threaten her and her daughter. She puts on a demonic face when she describes in gruesome detail what she wants to do to the man who kidnapped her daughter and forced her into an assassination. |

| 226 | * OutOfFocus: She's one of Kan'u's TrueCompanions, but aside from her introduction episode, Kouchuu gets very little screentime and seems more like a minor character. Made worse in later seasons where she stays behind at Touka Village while the others go on adventures. |

| 228 | * ShipperOnDeck: After Kan'u clears up the confusion about Rinrin being her daughter, Kouchuu then leaps to the ''other'' conclusion about their relationship, with a giant shit-eating grin and some emphatic "Ohhhh?"-ing. |

| 278 | * LovableSexManiac: Shortly after meeting Ryuubi, Gien joins her in the bath and fondles her breasts until poor Ryuubi passes out. Ryuubi is also very uncomfortable to hear about Gien's obscene sexual fantasies surrounding her. |

| 298 | * DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale: Her recurrent sexual harassment towards a non-consenting Kan'u, which includes demanding her to have sex with her to save her friend's life and forcing her to take a bath together, doesn't leave Sousou looking like a disgusting, irredeemable pervert only because both are pretty girls. |
| 299 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Despite not seeming honorable at first glance, Sousou is a noble and fair person at heart. |

| 303 | * MistakenForMurderer: Rumors say she killed Bachou's father, but he really died in an accident on his way home. Sousou didn't say anything in her defense out of respect for the man's pride as a warrior. |
| 304 | * MistakenForPregnant: She embarrassingly tells the doctor Kada "it" isn't coming out. He assumes she means her period and congratulates her. Sousou yells at him it's impossible for her to get pregnant when she only sleeps with other women. She was talking about constipation. |

| 557 | * HistoricalHeroUpgrade: The most extreme example in the series. Unlike her counterpart in the famous historical novel, this Toutaku is an incredibly good person who cares about her subjects.
