15	[[caption-width-right:200:[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} It's you]]!]]
16	A girl who has recently discovered her true calling and inherited Onmyouji powers.
17
18	* ActionGirl: The game is explicitly marketed as having this being a trait of the PlayerCharacter, and she's prepared to get into a fight and can save her own skin if the situation is right.
19	* AllLovingHero: Would lay her life down for not only the Capital, but also the friends she made while she was in there.
20	* AngstySurvivingTwin: [[spoiler:She had a twin brother in her past life]].
21	* DualWielding: If you see [[spoiler: her Kagura bell wand as a weapon]]. Well, there are two factions consisting of five Ayakashi, aren't there...?
22	* TheHeart: She consciously brings together the Dawn faction by befriending them and [[TastesLikeFriendship sharing a meal with them]].
23	* {{Ojou}}: Her father is a successful art and antique dealer, and so they live in beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood. Oji calls her ojou-chan.
24	* PlayerCharacter: And a fierce one at that.
25	* RoseHairedSweetie: Pink haired, and quite kind and loving to humans and ayakashi alike.

30	[[caption-width-right:350:暁]]
31	These are our main heroes. From trying to get along to defeating spirits made of darkness and chaos, these guys overcome just about any obstacle with the contracts they've forged with you. They're nice. They're awesome. They're Ayakashi.
32
33	[[folder: General]]
34	* AllLovingHero: Overall a pleasant group of Ayakashi who will not bear a grudge against anyone who shows guilt for their actions. [[BewareTheNiceOnes For the ones who don't, however]]...
35	* BadassCrew: A bunch of Ayakashi who routinely go against powerful magical foes summoned by a nefarious Onmyouji.
36	* BewareTheNiceOnes: They're a friendly and cheerful bunch. But if you mess with their group, be you a normal person or a magically-empowered wraith, don't think you're getting off light.
37	* CharacterDevelopment: The cast has undergone character development as the series has gone on, including you. You have become more assertive, Koga less arrogant, more caring and more genuinely confident (rather than mere bravado), Kuya more willing to get his wings dirty, Ginnojo less socially awkward, and more confident, Aoi being kinder and more intelligent, and even Yura has had more of his character revealed.
38	* CircleOfFriendship: Essentially. The five Ayakashi shielding you with one of these is how they tapped into it in the first place.
39	* FashionableAsymmetry: All of them feature this in some way.
40	* FireForgedFriends: While all the Ayakashi had some knowledge of the others' existence beforehand, and some were explicitly shown to have known each other (such as Koga knowing Yura), it's also implied that some of them wouldn't have associated with each other prior to the series (such as [[FireWaterJuxtaposition Koga and Ginnojo]]), so for most of them, their first significant activity together was hunting down wraiths together with you.
41	* HiddenDepths: One of the greatest things about this cast is the fact that [[RoundedCharacter they all have different dimensions to their personalities]].
42	* HumbleHero: They are perfectly aware they save the Capital from powerful threats on a regular basis, but they never brag about their deeds and always do it out of sheer love for their city, family and friends. Rather than being celebrated for their exploits, they would rather hang out and have a good time together like the TrueCompanions they are, even if Koga does have the occasional GlorySeeker moment.
43	* LimitedWardrobe: Their everyday clothes are always the same. However, we see them in plenty of other get-ups, including formal wear, their battle outfits and nightwear in the story and at some cards.
44	* MrViceGuy: All the main characters are supposed to have both flaws and strengths. Many of the flaws are more weaknesses than vices, and/or clearly the less dominant side of the character, but some fit this trope:
45	** Koga has a very headstrong attitude, often making him brash, insensitive and prideful. However, he is also determined, an extremely loyal friend and a rather good jester.
46	** Aoi is very neighbourly, hard working and altruistic with a high moral code. However he could also be very prideful, which could make him confrontational, self righteous and incredibly stubborn when crossed. His care for his friends also makes him very reliable, but it also exacerbates his flaws since he has enormous fears of having anything bad happen to them or letting them down.
47	** Kuya's main flaw is that he's lazy, and there is a lot of effort needed for getting him to do something, which may not be worth it if you can also ask someone else who can also do the job just fine. But, like big cats sleep all day in order to hunt, he is an extremely competent fighter if stakes get high.
48	** Yura flat out refuses to adapt to society and continuously speaks in Shakespearean English which is understood by the rest just fine, but may be a pain to read and sometimes you and the cast wish 'speak normal already', especially if it's about something important like the emblems and he keeps beating around the bush. That said, he is also your best guide [[spoiler: considering Akiyasu's nature]] and has a lot of knowledge left from 1000 years ago.
49	** Ginnojo starts out as very socially awkward, and has a dark past he does not want to dip into but is forced to. This occasionally creates a gap between him and the rest of the faction as shown when he goes into the night in order to kill someone related to an opium syndicate. But you remind him always of your friendship and he has been the catalyst for Aoi to work his powers [[spoiler: more than]] once.
50	* KimonoFanservice: There's a lot of art of the boys in traditional clothes, sometimes with a sexy WardrobeMalfunction.

68	Known throughout the city as an intrepid entrepreneur, Koga works tirelessly for the betterment of the Capital. He's a thoughtful young man who loves to laugh and is often looked at as the "big brother" of the group. Kuya is often dragged into his capers, unfortunately...

70	* AlliterativeName: '''K'''oga '''K'''itamikado.
71	* [[CoolBigSis Cool Big Bro]]: Explicitly stated to be one, and Aoi says that he has this method of getting people to come together. He's one for ''the entire Capital'' as well, regularly resolving conflicts on a daily basis.
72	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Peaches in his case. The story of Momotarou may have something to do with it.
73	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: He's described in the English version as an "oni ogre." If you translated "oni" as "ogre," he'd be called an "ogre ogre."
74	%%* KatanasAreJustBetter:
75	* {{Oni}}: His species, but the full extent of his powers are unknown since he usually just uses his sword to clobber wraiths with. [[spoiler: He's once seen with longer, white hair instead of black]], and although MC tries asking him about it, he's purposefully avoiding it [[spoiler:because it's his PowerIncontinence]]. Other than that, he's a pretty standard Oni minus the malevolence, with red theme coloring, and the ox/tiger association (horns like an ox, and in battle form he gains stripes in his hair).
76	* PowerIncontinence: The true nature of [[spoiler:the carnage]]. In that form, [[spoiler:he loses his mind and attacks anyone nearby]]. It was with this that he [[spoiler:accidentally killed Masanobu's older brother]].

97	'''Dislikes''': Things that require effort ]
98	This lazy self-identified "author" has the ability to [[LazyBum fall asleep anytime, anywhere]]. He claims napping helps him construct stories, but no one's ever read anything from him... His childhood friends, Koga, Shizuki, and Toichiro, often get on his case about his lethargy, but Kuya always comes through when it counts.
99	* AnimalMotifs: Birds, [[{{Tengu}} of course]]. He wears an earring in the shape of a golden feather in both human and magical form, his battle outfit features a wing pattern, and his fan has a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-legged_crow yatagarasu]] on it if you look closely.
100	* BlowYouAway: When he's really annoyed or he's in danger, he'll use this power. Simply opening and closing his fan real fast can cause a wind that can knock a grown man off his feet.
101	* BrilliantButLazy: This is the exact reason why Aoi doesn't get along with him. He's pretty competent with that figure of his plus having the extra profit of being able to fly, but mostly he's just slacking off.
102	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Judging by Ayakashi's small tumblr following, he seems to be one, as his flat responses to questions (as seen in Milk Hall and in the story) and his perpetual laziness are relatable to a huge number of people.
103	* InformedAbility: He says that he's a writer. When asked for examples, he lists stories that already exist.
104	** When asked to write a script to a play in the ''Essays in Indolence'' event story, he tries to get out of it by saying he's "not a writer anymore." [[spoiler:At the end of it, he does try to actually read a book, even though he's reading upside down]].
105	* LazyBum: Good job getting him to actually do anything.
106	* {{Tengu}}: His species, and he retains their wind-manipulating powers. Other than that, he can pass as a WingedHumanoid but still unusual.
107	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Oji's rice omelets.

126	An aloof man who works at Kusanagi Books, a small book lenders next to Milk Hall Raccord. Having spent most of his days surrounded by men, he is unused to the ways of women and is often confounded by them. Ginnojo's commitment to his comrades and his sense of justice are beyond reproach. His appetite is said to be legendary…
127
128	* ArchEnemy: Kagemaru's in the Dawn chapter.
129	* BigEater: When it's about Aoi's curry, he can pack bowl after bowl of the stuff as [[https://scontent-ams4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/59903533_352311775394384_7650490476880986112_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=AQnZSIFq0UlJka1tWfzXanr1g1QvLFbARKLqBqggZYtHXElQW85RdIGT8QvP7ltFej4&_nc_ht=scontent-ams4-1.xx&oh=45dff2fbc95bf84dc58eef14fc8dae5e&oe=5DC3C867 attested here]].
130	* DarkAndTroubledPast: He has something to do with an old military group, as Kagemaru points out. His route reveals it was [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/TheShinsengumi the Shinsengumi]]]].
131	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: He's described in the English version as a "mizuchi dragon." "Mizuchi" already refers to a type of water dragon in Japanese, so he's basically called a "water dragon dragon."
132	* MakingASplash: As a water serpent, he has the power to manipulate water in any kind of way he wants. And unlike some examples, he doesn't even need to be near water for this to work.
133	* TheStoic: A bit like Shizuki, with the vast difference that if he has his heart set on something, he won't hesitate to break this behavior. Surprises he genuinely doesn't expect like contact with women, just about everything Kuro thinks of, and [[spoiler: [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Akiyasu getting possessed by the very wraith he was trying to summon over the course of one and a half book]]]] definately breaks it.

154	An art student who lives and works at Milk Hall Raccord, a quaint restaurant run by Oji. This sharp-tongued young man has a caring disposition, but his inability to be honest with himself and those around him often frustrates him. As a Satori Seer, he wields the ability to peer into people's hearts, yet he never uses it...
155
156	* BreakThemByTalking: Uses it [[spoiler: twice]] in his route, attempting to know the reason why [[spoiler: the art student's heart is a hex in itself]], and to [[spoiler: exorcise the wraith out of Akiyasu]].
157	* DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler: Implied to be his fate in every. single. route. that does not feature him as love interest. That's right - he's been loving you since a millennium now, and in every route where you do not romance him, he has to watch you walk away, hand in hand, with someone else ''again'']].
158	* DudeLooksLikeALady: So much that Koga mistook him for a girl when they first met, an incident Aoi [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten won't let him forget]]. [[spoiler: In fact, he [[https://daeva-agas.tumblr.com/post/189041240208/this-is-aois-sister-%E7%B4%AB-the-reading-is-not-given has a sister]]]].
159	* FlowerMotifs: A plant resembling the hollyhock, due to his name. His previous incarnation wears the pattern and it is also more subtly present on his battle form.
160	* TheGunslinger: He uses a gun as his weapon, which seems to be firing special magic-resistant bullets of sorts.
161	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Although he usually keeps it braided. See his battle form for its full glory.
162	* MeaningfulName: The word used for his name refers to a specific plant often confused for the hollyhock, and [[spoiler: his past self [[https://daeva-agas.tumblr.com/post/188954794093/futaba-aoi wears a similar motif]] that also refers to his love for MC]].
163	* {{Seers}}: As a Satori, he has the power to peer into hearts and minds. When you find a wounded dog, he is the first person you go to. He's expressed annoyance with this.
164	* SupremeChef: His cooking skills are top-notch, as Ginnojo attests.
165	* {{Tsundere}}: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], look at DidNotGetTheGirl above.
166	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Oji. Oji is in-name-only the owner of Milk Hall, as Aoi does the cooking, cleaning ''and'' the service. However, he has nowhere else to go and Oji is helpless without Aoi.

185	The mysterious Yura lives apart from society with his twin brother, Gaku, in an abandoned shrine. Having lived for over 1,000 years, his wisdom is an invaluable asset to the team. However, a mysterious curse haunts him. Is that why he won't allow anyone to hear him play his flute...?

193	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: In his battle form.
194	* MagicMusic: Produced by his flute, though due to his curse he can only play the Song of Death.
195	* SweetTooth: To an extreme extent; sweets are all he eats and he tends to eat tons of them at once. In contrast, his brother prefers spicy food.
196	* ThemeTwinNaming: Shares one kanji with Gaku's name. The kanji in fact? '樂', meaning '[[MeaningfulName music]]'.
197	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Youkan, translated in the English version as "sweet-bean jelly."
198	* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Continuously speaks in Shakespearean English.

224	This nine-tailed fox is the youngest son of a prestigious family. He blends into human society by posing as a posh nobleman, with Shizuki as his personal valet.

225	* AsianFoxSpirit: He's a nine-tailed fox spirit from Japanese folklore.
226	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: He's described in the English version as a "kitsune fox." "Kitsune" is Japanese for "fox," so he's being called a "fox fox." The original term used averts this; which literally means "Demon fox".
227	* FamilyThemeNaming: With his father and brothers, whose names also end in "-ichiro." [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that heirs to the chiefdom are traditionally named this way ("ichiro is Japanese for "first son"), and all of Keiichiro's sons are competing to be the heir.
228	* PlayingWithFire: He uses flames to fight, though they can do other stuff besides burn their target. They're probably "fox's wedding lights" ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune_no_yomeiri kitsune no yomeiri]]).

248	This snow spirit Ayakashi has sworn fealty to his master, Toichiro. Shizuki is well-read, logical, and takes great pains to remain efficient in all things. Despite his love of alcohol, his whole personality does a 180 when he has even a swig of the stuff… Koga and Toichiro are often left to pick up the pieces.

274	A performer in the wildly successful Lorenzi Circus Troupe, this happy-go-lucky guy can put a smile on anyone's face with one of his signature hugs. He's a regular at Milk Hall Raccord and good friends with Oji and his neighbor, Ginnojo. For some reason, however, he refuses to tell anyone what kind of Ayakashi he is...
275	'''Marked spoilers from Twilight on'''.
276	* AnimalMotifs: Snakes. His weapon is a whip that resembles them, and his previous incarnation has two around him [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/81271223f73bbb45a8c6906e3b1147cd/tumblr_pwfw755wgp1r7k0jco1_1280.jpg as seen here]]. His battle form also features ropes.
277	* CuddleBug: Has a tendency to hug a stranger who seems like a friend (like [[PlayerCharacter you]]) immediately.
278	* TheCutie: So much that his shame over the type of Ayakashi he is is absolutely heartbreaking, not to mention the soldier who yells "Monster!" at him.
279	** BreakTheCutie: Happened to him in the past. He [[spoiler:turned into his nue form to save Hiroyuki]], but everyone saw it and thought he was a monster. Later, he was [[spoiler:blamed for an ayakashi attack on Hiroyuki's village that was actually Hisui's fault]], and wherever he went, people would hurt him until the Lorenzi circus troupe took him in.
280	* {{Foreshadowing}}: It is very strange that, while Kuro is surrounded by snake motifs, that his name refers to an entirely different animal. But this is in line with his nature as [[spoiler: a Nue - a [[MixAndMatchCritters Mix-and-Match Critter]]]]!
281	* {{Keet}}: A textbook example--loud, energetic, and very cute.
282	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His mullet is frequently commented upon in the fandom. You'll know why he has it if you look at his [[spoiler: true form]].
283	* TheNicknamer: He has a nickname for almost everyone he knows:
284	** Aoi: "Ao"

286	** Nachi: "Nach-Nach"
287	** Shizuki: "Shizzy"
288	** Toichiro: "Toto"
289	** [[spoiler:Hiroyuki: "Hiro"]]

291	* MixAndMatchCritters: His nature as a [[spoiler: Nue essentially makes him this]].
292	* OddFriendship: Is friends with Ginnojo. [[TheStoic Yes, that Ginnojo]].
293	** His friendship with Yomi, too, since Yomi is a [[spoiler:baku]], which [[spoiler:eats nightmares]] according to legend, while the [[spoiler:nue]] is said to [[spoiler:bring nightmares]].
294	* TheReveal: He's a [[spoiler: {{Nue}}]] ([[spoiler:鵺]]), [[spoiler: a beast best comparable with a Chimaera]].
295	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The stewed vegetables the protagonist makes.
296	* WalkingSpoiler: If we told more about him, we'd spoil a lot.
297	* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: No one knows what type of Ayakashi he is and he refuses to say it. This proved to be a source of speculation prior to [[spoiler: the reveal of his true form - a Nue]]. Considering he was once constantly attacked just for being what he was, you can't really blame him.

323	* OlderThanTheyLook: For all that everyone calls him "old man," he certainly looks good for a 100-year-old.
324	* OneNoteCook: The only thing he can make really well are rice omelets, which is why he lets Aoi cook everything else.
325	* PunnyName: His name, Oji (that is written with the kanji for 'sakura' and 'time'), can also be rendered as 'old man', which is what the characters (and mainly Aoi) refers him as.
326	* TheScapegoat: In Twilight Book I. He is arrested for "causing" the red-eye scare because he was walking at night alone, and the government needed to blame ''someone''. Everyone who knows Oji knows there's no way he would be behind something like that.
327	** Happens again in his route, where he [[spoiler:willingly frames himself for Akiyasu's actions]] so the heroine won't seem suspicious. [[spoiler:He would have been ''executed'' for it if his friends hadn't proven him innocent]].

376	Known by the heroine as her beloved cat "Tama," this Ayakashi has actually been alive for well over a millennium. His naivete and boyish charms often make him the butt of the group's jokes, much to his chagrin. However, he possesses an unassailable spirit that always lifts the heroine up when she's feeling down…
377	* ButtMonkey: Comes with being the youngest cast member.
378	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: He's described in the English version as a "nekomata cat spirit." "Nekomata" already refers to a type of cat youkai, so he's being called a "cat youkai cat spirit."
379	* [[BakenekoAndNekomata Nekomata]]: His species, important to consider when calculating his age below.
380	* OlderThanHeLooks: He appears 15, but it's implied that he has been with you ever since your previous life...about a century ago. [[note]] For this, the legend of the nekomata is important to take into considering! A nekomata comes into existance when a cat lives incredibly long, its tail will split into two and will become a {{Youkai}}. However, it will eventually outlive its owner, and it has been implied that Nachi has been with MC in her previous life when he was still a normal cat [[/note]]
381	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Sardines.
382	* TsurimeEyes
383	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He hates water, [[CatsHateWater not only because he's a cat]], but also because it forces him to change into his cat form. He hasn't found a way to circumvent it as of now.

434	'''Unmarked spoilers for the end of Dawn Book I'''
435
436	* ArcVillain: Main antagonist of the Dawn chapter.
437	* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: He initially seems to wear an equally white and black diviner's robe, but the story's sprites never reach further than the thighs. [[RuleOfSymbolism Underneath that, he wears a black coat]] - and it is really '''black'''. Represents the terrifying, malevolent darkness he's been hiding under a benevolent smile.
438	* BitchInSheepsClothing: He brought the wraiths in the Capital, is the one responsible for the placement of the hex totems and the talismans, never did something himself and always caused other people to be possessed (including Masanobu). Yet, he does a good job hiding it under his shy nature.
439	** Akiyasu's sanity may not all be that stable, as he displays over-exaggerated face expressions when he reveals his true colors, and has a egoistical personality as his underlying motivation is the revival of his father. He also has a morbid fascination with black magic and seems to take delight in when people get hurt - as evidenced by his lack of shame when using his talisman to possess Masanobu.
440	* ChekhovsGunman: He's the Fox-Faced Fiend, the one who's behind the wraith scourge.
441	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Like the description says, he is initially introduced as a very shy man who can keep on rambling about the Divine Arts well until it's night. He is very powerful (something even Kagemaru admits) and by using a combination of his power and trickery, is capable of defeating his opponents and coming close to killing you.
442	* EvilSoundsDeep: His default voicebits as used in the early story and in the rest of the game outside of the story, are just slightly high-pitched, but when he reveals his true self, they turn into a lower growl that best belongs to a nightmare.
443	* ExactWords: Akiyasu said that he tries to be more like his father, a great diviner who he admires. However, he didn't say that his father has long passed away.
444	* HiddenVillain: His magic caused the wraith scourge in the Capital.
445	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: He (at least, in Aoi's route) eventually gets posessed by the very wraith he was trying so hard to summon over the course of one and a half books, after it's exorcised out of you]]. Proves that EvilIsNotAToy. [[TheStoic Ginnojo]] is visibly surprised, and he shows a brief surprise as well, implying this was ''genuinely'' not what he meant to do.
446	** Even before that, this trope is already in action (but on a passive scale). His attempts to 'cultivate' you into a powerful Onmyouji diviner not only leads to you realizing that you and the others represent each of the contracters from a millennium ago, but also allows you to befriend the others and actually be able to use the emblems forged so long ago.
447	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Look at what he is holding in that image of his battle form. [[PaperTalisman What is causing the wraith scourge again]]? Exactly.
448	* TheSvengali: Natch! He fits the mold of a figure who acts like a teacher to an unsuspecting student. Later it's even revealed that the only reason he befriended you in the first place is that you make an excellent sacrifice. In Aoi's route it's shown that it could be so much worse, [[spoiler: if you never met Aoi, he'd be using MoreThanMindControl on you and it has grown to such a point that he is an EvilMentor by then]].
449	* WalkingSpoiler: It's pretty hard to talk about him without spoiling the end of the first Dawn book. This is the reason why his folder has been set to have spoilers removed.
450	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: His grief over his father's death is his primary motivation.
451	* {{Yandere}}: Shades of this.
