11Marin is an orphan who was abandoned as a baby and raised by the poor but loving Asagi couple. At the start of the series she is a thirteen-year-old seventh grade student with a wild imagination, lots of energy and an optimistic attitude. Her peaceful life changes dramatically when she suddenly finds herself the target of killer aliens called Monomakia. Fortunately she meets Melan Blue, a powerful and mysterious being who becomes her protector. Soon Marin must deal with persecution from her classmates and increasing strains on her relationships with her family and friends. She gradually learns the reason the Monomakia are after her, the connection between Earth and Brigadoon, and the role she must play to save both worlds from destruction. On top of all this, she forms a powerful bond with Melan, whose fate seems to be bound to hers.
12----
13* ACupAngst: PlayedForLaughs.
14* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Her classmates pick on her for being poor and an orphan.
15* BlindWithoutEm: Taken quite literally with Cosmos. After episode 17, without Cosmos acting as her eyes in the form of glasses, Marin is fully blind.
16* BodyguardCrush: Her feelings of friendship for Melan start to run much deeper as the series goes on.
17* BreakTheCutie: Life gets progressively harder and harder for her with each episode. The series really makes no qualms about the fact that Marin's an innocent kid mixed up in a violent situation.
18* TheChosenOne: Played straight at first, but later [[spoiler: becomes TheUnChosenOne when she finds out the real Chosen One MissedTheCall]].
19* ColourfulThemeNaming: "Asagi" means 'light blue' in Japanese.
20* DamselInDistress: Grows into a DamselOutOfDistress over time.
21* GenkiGirl: When she's especially happy she can be like this.
22* HappilyAdopted: She loves her foster family as if they were her blood relatives.
23* {{Leitmotif}}: Very upbeat and cheery.
24* MoralityChain: To [[spoiler:Eryun]] later in the series, freeing her and prompting the otherwise ruthless warrior to help her save Moe.
25* MoralityPet: She plays this role for Melan early on.
26* MsImagination: Wacky [[ImagineSpot Imagine Spots]] are one of her trademarks.
27* MysteriousPast: She doesn't know anything about her real parents, which might be a clue to her current situation.
28* ParentalAbandonment: Her birth parents literally did this to her.
29* PluckyGirl: Sometimes it takes a little longer for her to bounce back, but she pretty much always does.
30* {{Protectorate}}: Not just for Melan, but for just about everyone that cares about her.
31* RulesOfOrphanEconomics: Type 3. Before school every morning she has a job delivering newspapers.
32* TheScapegoat: Gets blamed for all the damage caused by the Monomakia who attack her.
33* SignificantGreeneyedRedhead: Doubles as ImplausibleHairColor, since no native Japanese people have this as their natural color in reality.
34** Justified in that Marin [[spoiler: isn't actually from Japan, making her red hair actually plausible]]
35* TalkingToTheDead: Does this often with her deceased foster father, Grandpa Gen.
36* ThouShaltNotKill: She totally forbids Melan from hurting humans, and death in general terrifies her.
37* TomboyishPonytail: Her preferred hairstyle.
38* VerbalTic: "Ah-haaa!" in the Japanese version.

44
45Moe is Marin’s classmate and best friend. Rich in dollars but poor in health, she is a wallflower at school and a regular in the nurse’s office. Her mother is overprotective and doesn’t approve of her associating with the less fortunate Marin, forcing Moe to make difficult choices in order to maintain their friendship. Despite her limitations, Moe goes to great lengths to help Marin and tries to help her with her unusual challenges however she can. When it comes to Monomakia, she’s a bit envious of Melan’s ability to protect Marin from danger as well as the amount of time he spends with her.
46----
47* ACupAngst: Same as Marin.
48* BigFancyHouse: Her family is so rich that they have TWO of these, one in Tokyo and another in Kobe.
49* CallingTheOldWomanOut: On the rare occasions where she argues with her mom.
50* ChildrenAreInnocent: Perhaps the most innocent character in the whole cast.
51* ColourfulThemeNaming: The kanji for ‘moe’ in her name comes from the word ‘moegi’, which is a shade of yellowish-green.
52* LonelyRichKid: She has no other friends besides Marin.
53* LuminescentBlush: Does this at least once per episode.
54* MyBelovedSmother: Her mom keeps her on a short leash.
55* PluckyGirl: She can be quite brave in her own way, especially when it comes to Marin.
56* PunnyName: [[{{Pun}} "Moe is]] [[{{Moe}} Moe Moe!"]].
57* ShrinkingViolet: So shy and quiet that sometimes even Marin doesn't notice when she arrives.
58* TaremeEyes: Her eyes are drawn this way to enhance her {{moe}} personality.
59* ThatCameOutWrong: A result of her being RichInDollarsPoorInSense. Cue the LuminescentBlush.

64[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/no26_o_9147.jpg]]
65
66Makoto Alo is an enigmatic young boy who seems to know a lot more about Brigadoon and Monomakia than a normal person should. On first meeting him Marin assumes he is a historical observer from the future, which seems to be true as he tells to keep this a secret and often knows about things before they actually happen. On their second meeting they introduce themselves more formally, and Marin gives him the nickname Aloma, which he keeps. He spends most of the series observing events from the background, commenting on what’s happening and only becoming directly involved much later on.
67----
68* AccidentalPervert: In the anime Marin jokingly accuses him of this when he points out that her underwear is showing. In the manga he walks in on her while she's naked.
69* AscendedExtra: In the manga, he is much more directly involved in the plot.
70* TheAtoner
71* CaughtInTheRain: He has this scenario with Marin in the manga.
72* ChickMagnet: In the anime Marin and Moe show some attraction to him. In the manga all the girls in class are into him.
73* FantasticAnthropologist: This seems to be the best definition of his mission. [[spoiler: Especially when it's revealed last minute that he's not as human as he appears.]]
74* FirstNameBasis: He's the only human boy in the show who calls Marin by her given name, and sometimes calls her [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics Marin-chan.]]
75* FishOutOfTemporalWater: He comes to the past from the future.
76* FreeRangeChildren: He seems to have no parents and no home, yet it's never a problem for him.
77* GreekChorus: Never addresses the audience directly, but his commentaries are rarely heard by the rest of the cast.
78* InnocentBlueEyes: [[spoiler: Although he isn't as innocent as he seems to be]].
79* InSeriesNickname: Once Marin starts calling him Aloma so does everyone else.
80* MysteriousWatcher: Overlaps with TheWatcher on the occassions that he gives the heroes helpful information.
81%%* NewTransferStudent: In the manga.
82* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: In their second meeting, he leans pretty close to Marin while he's showing her how his name is written. There's moments where he gets too close in the manga, too.
83* OracularUrchin: Somewhat justified. Since he's from the future he would naturally have knowledge of past events.
84* PromotedToLoveInterest: In the manga, for Marin.
85* TheReveal: [[spoiler: In the last episode he's revealed to be Lulu from the future, disguised as a human.]]
86* SweetTooth: Nearly all the food we see him eating is some type of candy, pastry or other form of junk food.

92
93Midori is a tough and tomboyish ninth grade student at Marin's school. A juvenile delinquent from a single parent household, she cuts classes and gets into fights often and has even been to jail. Despite all this she actually has a kind heart and becomes a loyal friend to Marin.
94----
95* ActionGirl: Sort of. She can't really handle Monomakia, but she can deal with humans just fine.
96* AlliterativeName: Midori Mano.
97* AloofAlly: She's Marin's friend but she's not exactly friendly.
98* ColourfulThemeNaming: Midori means 'green' in Japanese.
99* CoolBigSis: She’s the more cynical and jaded type.
100* {{Delinquents}}: Just in case you hadn't figured it out, look how she's wearing her uniform in the picture.
101* DelinquentHair: According to [[AllThereInTheManual one official source,]] the pink is really a dye job.
102* DemotedToExtra: In the manga she doesn't exist.
103* DisappearedDad: She says she only has a mother but doesn't explain more than that.
104* RoseHairedSweetie: The strong and passionate type.
105* TsurimeEyes: Her eyes are drawn in this style to show her strong will.

112
113Moto is Marin's foster mother and the tenement house's unofficial matriarch. At 68 years old, she is a widowed housewife with wisdom and energy to spare. She is very kind, motherly, and wise, but as soon as Marin is in danger she will rush to her aid without hesitation, no matter what that danger may be. When Melan comes along, she welcomes him into her home and treats him like another member of the family.
114----
115* ColourfulThemeNaming: Asagi means light blue in Japanese.
116* CoolOldLady: Cool enough to let an alien live in her house and stand up to the cops!
117%%* HappilyMarried: While her husband was alive.
118%%* {{Housewife}}
119%%* IWasQuiteALooker: She doesn’t brag about it, but she really was.

123* MamaBear: She's very, ''very'' protective of Marin.
124* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: She wasn't very tall when she was young, either.
125* OutlivingOnesOffspring: She and her husband survived UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, but their only child did not.

133
134Shuta is a 75-year-old inventor and Mike is his 22-year-old American assistant. Practically always together, they both have their fair share of quirks and are perhaps the oddest residents in the tenement house. When Monomakia start coming after Marin, they waste no time trying to invent devices to protect her from them. Unfortunately, most of these devices are impractical if not totally useless.
135----
136* BunglingInventor: Some of the stuff they create actually works, though in a rather silly way.
137* ColourfulThemeNaming: For Shuta, the kanji for 'ai' in Aian means indigo. For Mike, it's...well, white.
138* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Mike later in the series. You have to see it to believe it.
139* DitzyGenius: Mike is more 'ditz' and Shuta is more 'genius'.
140* DoggedNiceGuy: Both of them qualify as Type 2, the Patient Friend. In the manga Shuta was in love with Moto, and in the anime Mike has a crush on Jun.
141* DraftDodging: [[spoiler: Mike ran away to Japan so he wouldn't be sent to fight in UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar.]]
142* EinsteinHair: Shuta.
143* FunnyForeigner: Mike.
144* GratuitousEnglish: Mike again.
145* IntergenerationalFriendship: With each other!

148* MrExposition: Shuta.
149* PhenotypeStereotype: Mike is the only American character in the show to have wavy blond hair and blue eyes.

156
157Jun is a pretty and gentle 22-year-old with a demanding job as a nurse. One of the more sensible residents of the tenement house, she works to support herself and her alcoholic father. She often tends to Melan's wounds and Marin looks up to her as a role model. Unbeknownst to all, this [[ProperLady respectable young lady leads]] a secret double life.
158----
159* CallingTheOldManOut: She only criticizes her father when he's too drunk to be listening.
160* ColourfulThemeNaming: The kanji for 'toki' comes from the name of a particular shade of pink.
161* FamilyEyeResemblance: She gets her purple eyes from her mother, apparently.
162* FunbagAirbag: Happens with Marin in two episodes.
163* HospitalHottie: She's pretty much the family doctor.
164* MeaningfulName: One of the meanings for the kanji of her given name is 'chaste.' [[spoiler: IsntItIronic.]]
165* MissingMom: Left because her dad drank too much.
166* TheMistress: [[spoiler: She has an affair with a man who is already married.]]
167* MsFanservice: Until Erin comes along, that is.
168* NotSoWeak: In Episode 9.
169* OnlySaneMan: Nobody ever seems to listen to her when she tries to be the voice of reason.
170* ProperLady: She looks like one and acts like one [[spoiler:but there's a very improper hidden facet of her life.]]
171* PutOnABus: Leaves the show halfway through part one, returns to stay in part two.
172* StepfordSmiler: Type A. She's really quite broken inside.

180Melan is Marin's self-proclaimed bodyguard and a type of Monomakia called a Gun-Swordsman, due to having those weapons in place of hands and his skill in using them. Marin found him at a shrine near her house where he had been asleep for a hundred years inside a tiny blue ampoule. He originally comes from Brigadoon, where he once belonged to a group of three Gun-Swordsmen, but his former comrades consider him a betrayer for leaving the group on a secret mission, the nature of which he does not reveal to anyone for a long time. Melan is a very tall, strong, and imposing figure who takes his mission extremely seriously. At first he is fairly unemotional and protects Marin mainly from a sense of duty, but over time he grows to care about her and the human world very personally.
181----
182* ArmCannon: Has one on his left arm.
183* BigEater: He can scarf down up to fifty bowls of rice in one sitting.
184* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Has one on his right arm.
185* BullyHunter: At Marin's school, he chases down and terrorizes the three girls severely bullying her. Though he puts the fear of God into them, this doesn't last and it culminates into Marin's attempted murder by the lead bully later in the series.
186* ChasteHero: Melan qualifies as this due to [[TheSpartanWay his lifetime of intense training]], being a dedicated bodyguard and his blunt honesty. He tends to catch Marin off guard with his actions, whether he's naively grabbing her the wrong way or [[spoiler: kissing her to neutralize the effects of a hallucinogen]] or telling her what she means to him, making her blush by his blunt yet [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove "platonic"]] confession.
187* TheComicallySerious: Picture a robotic alien warrior seated at the dinner table reading the newspaper and you'll get the idea.
188* DefrostingIceKing: Melan comes off as cold and well, alien to most due to his detached and sometimes violent mannerisms, but spending time with Marin, her adoptive family and Moe helps him better exercise his sense of compassion.
189* HealingFactor: Has rapid body regeneration, and even his armor and weapons can repair themselves if they break.
190* HumanityIsInfectious: He was raised from a young age to be a stalwart protector of Brigadoon, and his closest relationships back then were really only Pyon and Erin, who underwent the same grueling training. While acting as Marin's bodyguard, being exposed to the more nurturing environment of her home has him struggling with a stunted sense of empathy, especially when he doesn't know how to comfort Marin during times of emotional distress.
191* IgnoreTheFanservice: Being the staight-faced stoic he is, he almost never reacts to some of the... compromising situations other female characters find themselves in. In fact, a hallucinogenic vision of Erin licking his face like a puppy just assures him that something is off.
192* KnightInShiningArmor: So very much.
193* {{Leitmotif}}: Very cool and mysterious, usually plays when he comes out of his ampoule and during his battle scenes.
194* MonsterRoommate: He becomes a member of Marin’s household as of Episode 2.
195* MrFanservice: While his design makes him out to be a bizarre mish-mash of man and machine (to the point he has robotic appeandages), it also lovingly shows off his sculpted midriff and rear.
196* MysteriousProtector: It takes about 16 episodes before he fully opens up to Marin about his mission.
197* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Becomes gradually more humanlike with each episode.
198* SilentScapegoat: As part of his [[ZeroApprovalGambit secret mission]].
199* SleepModeSize: His ampoule can fit inside Marin’s pocket.
200* SpockSpeak: He learns to use less complicated words, but in general he talks like this.
201* TheStoic: Very much so, though he becomes NotSoStoic as the show progresses.
202* TechnicalPacifist: He becomes this way thanks to Marin.
203* TinMan: He does possess emotions, it just takes a while for him to learn how to express them.
204* WingedHumanoid: He’s a robotic alien version of this. And yes, he can fly.

210
211Pyon (pronounced Paion) is the strongest of the Gun-Swordsmen and a former friend-turned-enemy of Melan. He is a noble fighter and follows a strict code of honor, confronting his opponents directly. He has no problem killing people who get in his way, but he’ll give them a fair warning first. Pyon regrets having to fight Melan, but considers him a traitor and intends to bring him to justice.
212----
213
214* BreakTheHaughty: Subject to this when Melan bests him in their duel.
215* ColorCodedCharacters: Black and white with silver.
216* ColourfulThemeNaming: Silver.
217* DarkIsNotEvil: His color scheme is an obvious clue to his morally ambiguous nature.
218* DuelToTheDeath: Challenges Melan to this at least once.
219* DynamicEntry: His first day on Earth has him slicing a fighter jet in half, blowing up a police station and shooting more cops than you can count on one hand.
220* {{Excalibur}}: Calls his sword by this name and even claims it to be sacred.
221* GatlingGood: His ArmCannon is this type of gun.
222* GoodIsNotNice: He's on the side that's trying to save the world, but his methods are questionable.
223* HonorBeforeReason: Takes honor so seriously that he'd rather kill Melan in a fair fight.
224* MasterSwordsman: According to Melan, and he does prefer using his sword to his gun.
225* ThePaladin: He certainly considers himself to be this and play the part pretty straight.
226* {{Pride}}: The word 'proud' shows up often in his dialogue, so it's clearly a big deal for him. [[spoiler: It's also his greatest weakness.]]
227* RightHandVersusLeftHand: If he knew the reason for Melan's 'betrayal,' he wouldn't be so determined to kill him.
228* SleepModeSize: His ampoule is the only one we never see.
229* SpockSpeak: Similar to Melan, but he never adopts any simpler vocabulary.
230%%* StabTheSky: He's fond of this pose.
231* TheStoic: Almost more than Melan, though he does express certain strong emotions a bit sooner.
232* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: After Melan tries this on him, he tries to use it on Kuston. It doesn't quite work.

237[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/no13_o_5601.jpg]]
238
239Erin is the only female among the Gun-Swordsmen. Like Pyon, she is a former friend of Melan who is now his enemy, but is far more angry and violent toward him. Fierce and ruthless in battle, she doesn’t care if innocents get hurt and will settle for nothing less than total victory. Perhaps the true reason she’s so angry with Melan is because she had special feelings for him in the past.
240----
241%% * ActionGirl: Starts off as a DarkActionGirl.
242%% * ColdSniper: Very much so.
243* ColorCodedCharacters: Pink and purple, just in case you couldn't already tell she's a girl.
244* ColourfulThemeNaming: Garnet, specifically the reddish type.
245* DubNameChange: Her name is "Eryun" in the original Japanese anime. Strangely enough, it's spelled that way in the English version of the manga, and both translations were done by Tokyopop.
246* DuelToTheDeath: Same as Pyon, though she's not quite so chivalrous about it.
247* GirlishPigtails: Has mechanical versions of these and can [[PrehensileHair control their movements, too]].
248* GoodIsNotNice: She's on the side that's trying to save the world, but her methods are questionable.
249* HonorBeforeReason: Sometimes seems to overlap with RevengeBeforeReason.
250%% * IcyBlueEyes
251%% * MsFanservice: And how!
252* ThePaladin: She pushes the limits more than Pyon does.
253* PinballProjectile: Has a set of discs she can use to [[ReflectingLaser reflect her lasers]] in any direction she wants.
254* RightHandVersusLeftHand: Refuses to listen to Melan's side of the story until Episode 23 when he defeats her in combat and she has no secret weapons left.
255%%* RoyalRapier: Her sword is this type.
256* SleepModeSize: Her ampoule looks the same as Melan's, only pink instead of blue.
257%%* SniperRifle: Her gun is this type.
258* SpockSpeak: Same as Pyon, though she sometimes slips into SophisticatedAsHell.
259* {{Stoic}}: The strongest emotion she shows is anger, and you don't want to be around to see it.

266
267Poikun is the second Monomakia ally Marin finds on Earth. Designed for transport over land and through water, he has very few offensive abilities but is quite helpful when someone needs to escape or be taken to safety. He's also very cute and friendly, more like a pet than a bodyguard.
268----
269%%* BadassAdorable: He has his moments.
270* ColorCodedCharacters: His body is almost entirely purple.
271* {{Fartillery}}: Smelly gas bubbles are one of his few attacks.
272* FragileSpeedster: He can move pretty fast, but his defenses aren't the best.
273* {{Leitmotif}}: Cute and quirky, just like him.
274* NonHumanSidekick: Played straight through the whole series.
275* PutOnABus: After Episode 13 he isn't seen again until Episode 24.
276* RemovableShell: Not only does it come off, it serves as an emergency escape pod for his passengers.
277%%* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Very much so.
278* SleepModeSize: His ampoule is purple and resembles a bottle of soap.
279* SpeechImpairedAnimal: The only sound he can make is the word "kyu."

286
287Kushatohn is the third Monomakia ally Marin finds on Earth. Designed for combat, she is a gigantic beast and very fierce in both nature and appearance. She's also incredibly strong, able to tear apart foes that are even larger than she is. These abilities make her a good bodyguard, but due to her size she remains in her ampoule until she's needed.
288----
289* ActionGirl: Perhaps the least girly variety there is.
290* EyesDoNotBelongThere: The appear to be in her hands and shoot out jets of water.
291* FieryRedhead: An especially hot blooded, berserker type.
292* ImpossiblyGracefulGiant: Plays this straight, though she's more like a {{Kaiju}} than a HumongousMecha.
293* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: Consumes water as fuel.
294* {{Leitmotif}}: Starts off with the chanting of an ethereal chorus and quickly escalates into an electric guitar battle theme.
295* LightningBruiser: Big, strong, and fast. Thank heaven she's one of the good guys.
296* MakingASplash: Shoots highly pressurized liquid from her palms that can slice seeminly anything in half.
297* NonHumanSidekick: Played straight throughout the series.
298* PutOnABus: After Episode 13 she isn't seen again until Episode 24.
299* SamusIsAGirl: Marin initially mistook her for a male. It's hard to tell at first glance.
300* SleepModeSize: Her golden ampoule is somewhat larger than Melan's and Poikun's.

309Lolo is a small, feline alien who showed Marin where Melan’s ampoule was located. He tends to pop up out of thin air and in the oddest of places, and doing the oddest of things. He appears continuously as a sort of trickster mentor, offering advice and giving information to the heroes as needed. It is later revealed that he serves Brigadoon as the Chairman of the Life Improvement Committee. He is also aware of a large conspiracy going on within Brigadoon’s Central Assembly, and his associations with Marin and Melan are part of a larger plan to thwart the unknown enemy’s plans to destroy Earth and Brigadoon.
