11	The main character of the story and a first year. Homura is the newest member of Seiran High's Exploration Club recruited by Takumi Touya at the behest of Mayo Misasagi after seeing her unusually high aptitude and potential for the club. While a little wary of the offer at first, she decides to join in an effort to see what she can do for herself.
12
13	She's known at Seiran High as the "cutest girl in her year" and has [[DudeMagnet had numerous boyfriends in the past as well as many male admirers in and outside school since her middle school years]]. While she's lazy, carefree and a bit of an airhead at times, once a goal is shown right in front of her, Homura would stop at nothing to reach it.
14
15	She is assigned as a Beginner's Rank Investigator with the class of "Magician".
16	------
17	* AlliterativeName: '''H'''omura '''H'''inooka
18	* AllMenArePerverts: Seems to be a believer of this given her previous experiences. [[AccidentalPervert Touya]] isn't exactly helping her change her perception of this in any way either.
19	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Volume 2's second book reveals that she's this to Touya, having accomplished so much in so little time in the Exploration Club despite being a greenhorn who doesn't even know the basics of the basics.
20	* AudienceSurrogate: As the newest member of the Exploration Club, the readers learn more about the mysteries of Imaginary Earth and the functions of UNPIEP mainly through her.
21	* BadassAdorable: Oh heck yes. She doesn't attract a dozen boys for no reason, after all. and being a main character from the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}, her being one is a standard thing. Homura's notable feats of badassery include [[spoiler: her face-off against the very powerful and more experienced Subaru, a fight she ''won'' in, and her fight against a gigantic Nutellan shark in the second volume. ''Underwater'']].
22	* BerserkButton: Hurting her friends or the people she knows around her is not a good idea. The sight of [[spoiler: Subaru harming Suzuran right in front of her without hesitation]] also set her off enough to attack her.
23	* BookDumb: Not the smartest student around.
24	* BrilliantButLazy: The story and pretty much plenty of characters point out that Homura's destined for greatness with the amount of potential and uncanny talent she possesses. The only thing standing in the way of that is her penchant for slacking off.
25	* ChallengeSeeker: Joined the Exploration Club primarily to see what she can do with herself.
26	* CharacterTitle: The titular ''Fire Girl'' and the main character of the series.
27	* CovertPervert: The first thing she wanted to look for when she first came over Touya's house? His porn stash.
28	* CowardlyLion: Has her moments of doubts and hesitation, but when her friends are in danger, she won't hesitate to pull out all stops just to save them.
29	* DeadpanSnarker: A trait [[HypocriticalHumor Touya]] notes her for. Here's a gem from when she, Misasagi, and Touya bathed together in the same bath:
30	--> ''(After Homura splashes Touya's face with hot water)''
31	--> '''Touya:''' Hey, I wasn’t even looking!
32	--> '''Homura:''' [[BlatantLies It was a fish, a fish jumped up and splashed you]].
33	* {{Determinator}}: When [[spoiler: Misasagi got kidnapped by Suzuran and her pack early on in 1-B]], Homura immediately gave chase and actually managed to hold on to a wolf's back for a good while before she lost her grip on it after much struggling. Even after she was thrown off to the ground and after Touya's insistence to evacuate so they can get help on Earth, Homura refused on the grounds that [[spoiler: their senpai might be in danger if they abandoned her]] and convinced Touya so they can stay and search for them, all the while knowing and being very aware of how very dangerous their opponents and terrains are.
34	* {{Dismotivation}}: Described in the novels as someone who doesn't seek to aspire much in life.
35	* TheDitz: Downplayed. She can be a bit air-headed and goofy from time to time, but she's also very self-aware and perceptive towards others, often raising an eyebrow towards the likes of Fujimori-sensei and her schemes.
36	* DudeMagnet: She was declared the 'cutest girl' in their year by her high school peers. She also has the penchant to attract boys everywhere no matter what she does or where she goes thanks to her looks. Among the named characters mentioned in the story, she has Akiho flirting with her, Ishimi and Nagusa gaining an interest in her after she saves them in the climax of volume 2-A, and there have been hints that Touya (despite his crush on Misasagi), Otomaru, and even Ryou all have an interest in her.
37	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: One of her female classmates and friends said she wouldn't mind seeing Homura in a kimono at all, and when other people in their vicinity overheard that Homura might try to compete in either the Yamato Nadeshiko contest or the swimsuit contest, the boys weren't the only ones who quickly flocked to her side. There's also Rokujizou's constant flirting with her whenever they meet.
38	* {{Expy}}: Appearance-wise, she's a pink-haired [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Asuna]]. They're starkly different personality-wise however.
39	* FireBalls: Her favorite method of attack. In fact, she launches a whole barrage of them in different sizes in a game launched by Type-Moon during their 2013 April Fool's event. Poor [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Sacchin]].
40	* GenkiGirl: Her bright enthusiasm and go-getter attitude are what keep her going no matter the circumstance. This helps her win over a lot of friends as the series goes on.
41	* HardWorkHardlyWorks: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Homura's skills are a result of the hard work Touya puts her through in the first few chapters, be it cooking boxed lunches, or simple endurance training, and she still needs help with the former.
42	* HatesBeingAlone: Her biggest fear is being left behind, all alone on her own.
43	* HeroicBSOD: She got over it quickly, but her first visit to Nutella shattered her initial perception and pre-conceived notions of adventuring [[spoiler: when she accidentally fell off a ridge on her first day (thankfully with zero injuries) and when she first saw ''something'' trying to steal stuff from their campsite. Alone. At night.]]
44	* HiddenDepths: As BookDumb as she might be, Homura seems to be a bit knowledgeable regarding western history, bringing up known historical figures like Vasco da Gama and Admiral Perry during her conversation with Fujimori-sensei in chapter 8.
45	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Can sometimes unintentionally spout insensitive comments from time to time whenever her ego goes to her head and tongue.
46	* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: How Homura's fire powers on Nutella ''truly'' work. [[spoiler: She doesn't really need an incantation or have to think of a hexahedron-level pattern for her powers to work, all she has to do is to think up of clear, vivid imagery, something that her mind ''truly'' specializes in.]]
47	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[InnocentlyInsensitive She's a bit direct without intending to be]] and tends to let her mouth speak first before her head. Apart from that, she's otherwise a nice girl.
48	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Something seems to have happened to Homura during middle school that made her IE test grades drop from a spectacular 80:B to a meager 52:D, and when she tries to recall what went on during that time, she can't, which would explain why she couldn't remember Fujimori-sensei at all from back then until she brought it up. [[spoiler: Whatever happened that time is implied to be the cause of her being completely immune to Subaru's puppet enchantment spell.]]
49	* LeeroyJenkins: [[spoiler: Ran headfirst to Subaru's castle disregarding the danger she and her cohorts could pose on her, given her vast amounts of power and the difference in strength between the two of them in an attempt to save Touya by confronting her. Homura gets struck by a lightning spell conjured by Subaru in an attempt to kill her for her trouble, but she luckily survives thanks to Misasagi's water stone.]]
50	* LethalChef: Touya described her food as poison.
51	** She later improves and graduates as a CordonBleughChef instead.
52	* MeaningfulName: Homura's given name means "flame". True enough, she specializes in fire magic, with fire balls being her most favored attack. In addition to this, she also has an undeterred, plucky personality that's difficult to douse even when situations and people bring her down. Her name's meaning is even the light novel's title.
53	* NaiveNewcomer: She joins what's basically a special expedition club despite having no background in outdoor exploration whatsoever prior.
54	* NoSell: [[spoiler: Was somehow completely unaffected by the same human puppet spell Subaru cast on Touya despite Subaru claiming that she cast the spell on both of them during her rampage on volume 1-B.]]
55	* NotAMorningPerson: Like [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rin Tohsaka]] before her, though luckily for her she has a younger sister at home who helps get her up every morning. She eventually adjusts to waking up early every morning by herself thanks to Touya's training regimen, but that doesn't mean she has to like waking up early either.
56	* OddFriendship: With Orie.
57	* OnlyFriend: Besides Kamikoma, who's more like an older sister to her rather than a close friend, she's this to Orie, being the only person in their school who'd actually bothered to befriend her at all despite her icy personality. While Orie can find Homura annoying and acts cold towards her most of the time, she also doesn't try to desperately get rid of her either, even joining her sometimes to hang out together.
58	* OnlySaneMan: [[PlayingWithTropes Sometimes]]. Being the AudienceSurrogate and main character, she should be this by default, considering that she holds a [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] whenever she's exasperated with her fellow club members' (especially Fujimori-sensei) out of world antics, but she herself tends to be an airhead with a strange imagination from time to time.
59	* PlayingWithFire: Her main ability as a Magician for the Exploration Club.
60	* PluckyGirl: A lazier example than most, but when she sees a goal she wants to fulfill right in front of her, Homura's the type to stop at nothing from trying to achieve that goal.
61	* RedOniBlueOni: Again, with [[AloofDarkHairedGirl Orie]].
62	* RoseHairedSweetie: Has her blunt moments, but she's overall a nice, friendly, and polite person towards most of the people she knows or goes to meet. The best instance of this would be her willingness to help, out of sincere compassion, the lady handing out "missing" flyers at the train station trying find her lost child. in the first volume's first chapter. Probably contributed to her DudeMagnet factor and popularity in school.
63	* SchoolIdol: Hailed as "The cutest girl" in her year. Slightly downplayed in that she's a little BookDumb, but that didn't stop her from being popular [[DudeMagnet with the boys]].
64	* StrongFamilyResemblance: Resembles her youthful looking mom.
65	* {{Troll}}: She has her moments. See Fujimori's entry below to see how much of one she is.
66	* TheSlacker: PlayedWith. She hates having to do strenuous activities or even having to study from time to time. Though if you give her a goal she'll want to aspire towards, her enthusiasm will take over and she'll do her best to strive towards it. Even then, bouts of her laziness would still leak through there.
67	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Touya, who she bickers with and comically hits most of the time whenever he runs his mouth on her, and with Fujimori-sensei who she teases and makes fun of from time to time.
68	* WeightWoe: Implied. Homura got jumpy when she learned that the club building's scanners scanned people's weights too.
69	------
70	[[/folder]]
71
72	[[folder:Takumi Touya]]
73	[[quoteright:142:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/touya_takumismaller.png]]
74	[[caption-width-right:142:[[labelnote:''See Touya in his Explorer's outfit'']][[quoteright:132:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/touya_takumi_4.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
75	A boy who's also in his first year like Homura and the first member of the Exploration Club introduced in the story. Touya is an athletic and talented kendo practitioner who goes out of his way to extend the Exploration Club's invitation to Homura at the start of the story. Like her, he's also a new member of the Exploration Club, but has joined sometime earlier prior to the start of the story.
76
77	Touya tends to be blunt from time to time but usually means well. He can also say unusual things with a straight face. He aims to surpass his father one day in kendo.
78
79	He is a Fifth Class Investigator with the class of "Light-weight Warrior".
80	------
81	* AcademicAthlete: While he's not an honors student, his grades are high enough to exact admiration from Homura. There's also the fact that he chose to take the regular entrance exam to Seiran High like any student would instead of using his kendo credentials as an easier way to enter the school as a sports scholar.
82	* AlliterativeName: '''T'''akumi '''T'''ouya.
83	* AlwaysSecondBest: Feels this way towards his father who was a master kendo swordsman. This is the reason why he took up dual wielding kendo blades instead of just one.
84	* BadassesWearBandanas: Wears a bandana to go with his Investigator outfits sans the glasses.
85	* BadLiar: As a consequence of the below trope.
86	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: After Subaru captures him.]]
87	* BrutalHonesty: Lacks some tact with his words.
88	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Touya's older sister was killed in front of him when she protected him from a killer a few years ago in a case known as the Oosumi incident. He was only in grade school then.]]
89	* DeadpanSnarker: He's got no filter on his mouth whenever he speaks.
90	* TheDitz: Is eccentric enough for Homura to label him as a country bumpkin.
91	* DualWielding: Dual wields kendo blades. Interestingly enough, he trained in this discipline as his sport in middle school, often competing in enough competitions to be well-known with some of his peers.
92	* HeroesPreferSwords: Kendo blades to be exact.
93	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not afraid to [[BrutalHonesty crudely voice out his opinion of you]], intentionally or not, but he ultimately means well, and ''will'' genuinely praise you if you did a good job.
94	* LoveAtFirstSight: [[spoiler: Towards Misasagi-senpai, a fact he confesses to Homura while they were searching for their kidnapped senpai.]]
95	* MissingMom: According to Touya, his mom is "currently running away from home." He takes this in stride though, much to Homura's bewilderment.
96	* NiceGuy: Despite his crudeness with his words, he's genuinely kind, helping out Homura if she needs it and even helping her train before she officially joins the Exploration Club.
97	* OnlySaneMan: Played with and shares this position with Homura. While he is exasperated at his fellow members' antics at times (''especially'' Fujimori-sensei's), he's no stranger to eccentricity himself.
98	* LastNameBasis: Is primarily referred to by his surname only.
99	* TheGlassesComeOff: Non-dramatic example. He puts his glasses away whenever he's on Imaginary Earth. Explained in that the transport to Nutella as well as one of the planet's moons reconstitutes a human being's body whenever they travel there. In Touya's case, his eyesight becomes 20/20 perfect there, and so does not need glasses when exploring Nutella.
100	* WouldHitAGirl: PlayedForLaughs. He smacks Homura on the head whenever she's being either silly or InnocentlyInsensitive. To his credit though, Homura actually hits him back when needed.
101	----

103
104	[[folder:Mayo Misasagi]]
105	[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/misasagi_mayosmaller4.png]]
106	[[caption-width-right:199:[[labelnote:''See Misasagi in her Explorer's outfit'']][[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/misasagi_mayo_alternate2.png]][[/labelnote]]]]
107	A beautiful 3rd year and the Exploration Club's president in Seiran High. Prior to Touya and Homura joining, Misasagi was the sole member of the Exploration Club [[spoiler: after Inari left]]. Shy but demure and mature, she has awed many students with her appearance, achievements and personality.
108
109	She is good friends with Sachi Kamikoma from Hiyoshi High and with Takara Rokujizou, the StudentCouncilPresident. She was the one who called for Homura's recruitment at the start of the story.
110
111	She is a Third Class Investigator with the class of "Magical Warrior".
112	------
113	* TheAce: She's beautiful, has high grades, excels in sports, is an excellent member of the Exploration Club, and even has qualifications to be an elite Ranger in the Japanese military.
114	* AcademicAthlete: Mentioned to be such in her [[AllThereInTheManual official profile]].
115	* AlliterativeName: '''M'''ayo '''Misasagi'''.
116	* ArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler: Her parents set her up to be Kazuma Tenryuu's fiancee, though it seems that she isn't overly enthused by the idea since his presence seems to annoy her a lot.]]
117	* BadassBookworm: Is well versed in both academics ''and'' military knowledge according to her profile. In fact, she took training to be a ''Ranger'' before she even joined the club!
118	* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler: Suzuran and her wolf pack take Misasagi hostage after she gets injured in a blast from a trap she set around the Seiran group's basecamp. Two chapters later, she escapes on her own (chain cuffs with links still attached and all still on her wrists), and arrives just in time to save Homura from Subaru. Mind you, she was still injured at the time.]]
119	* BigSisterInstinct: Looks out for her underclassmen like an older sister would. She's especially sisterly towards Homura, a newbie who needs her guidance the most among the club members.
120	* CantHoldHerLiquor: When she unintentionally [[spoiler: drinks fermented fruit juice ''boy'' does her usual shy and mature demeanor [[IntoxicationEnsues get thrown out the window]].]]
121	* CoolBigSis: Towards her two kouhais Touya and Homura.
122	* {{Expy}}: Her Explorer's/Investigator's outfit heavily resembles [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Asuna's]] ALO Undine avatar.
123	** Also, an [[InvertedTrope inverted]] example since ''Literature/FireGirl'' came out first, but Misasagi heavily resembles an older looking [[Anime/YukiYunaIsAHero Togo]]. Makes sense since both characters were designed by BUNBUN.
124	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Well, if Homura's swooning over her is anything...
125	* HimeCut: She has the hair style to match her mature and demure personality: length, even bangs and sidelocks. It no doubt contributes to her famed beauty as well.
126	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Doesn't mind involving Touya in all the things the group does together, whether that includes bathing in the same bath together or sleeping together in the same room or even bed, and is completely oblivious to the implications of a guy doing either of those together with two girls, much to Homura's exasperation.
127	* LongHairIsFeminine
128	* MakingASplash: Her main elemental magic is water.
129	* PowerDyesYourHair: As a Magical Warrior, her hair is blue instead of her natural black, thanks to the effects of being there on Nutella.
130	* RavenHairIvorySkin
131	* ShrinkingViolet: She's bashful sometimes, though her maturity masks that perfectly.
132	* SoProudOfYou: Towards Homura after she won the secret race during volume 2-A.
133	* StatuesqueStunner: A tall beauty, she is.
134	* StutterStop: When on Earth, Misasagi's speech pattern is loaded to the brim with pauses in-between phrases, probably due to her ShrinkingViolet nature or some other reason. But when she's on Nutella, she's able to speak in full sentences without pausing to stammer. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Homura.
135	* SupremeChef: Bakes really good apple pies.
136	* TheLeader: The club president and lone senior of the Exploration Club.
137	* VerbalTic: Her way of speaking is riddled with unusual pauses in between words. It disappears when she's on Nutella though.
138	* WaterIsWomanly: She is a third-year famed for her breathtaking beauty and has a demure maturity befitting a YamatoNadeshiko to go along with her water magic.
139	* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Inari, after an incident that left Inari hospitalized for at least one school semester broke their friendship apart.
140	* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Homura describes her as breathtakingly beautiful even in the darkness when she first met her, and was so amazed at her beauty that she kept staring at her without saying a word for a more than a minute.
141	* YamatoNadeshiko: She demure, graceful, beautiful, and dutiful to her family, traits that are found in a classic Japanese beaut.

144
145	[[folder:Ameno Fujimori]]
146	[[quoteright:120:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ameno.png]]
147
148	Another new recruit and fellow new member of Seiran's Exploration Club. She is Fujimori-sensei's "adopted" family member. While she appears to be just a normal student with a few quirks and a unique appearance, Ameno, is in fact, a Golem, or a humanoid robot whose consciousness was created from a special stone found on Nutella and is currently being observed by Seiran's UNPIEP members, particularly Fujimori-sensei.
149
150	She is a Beginner's Rank Investigator with the class of "Thief".
151	------
152	* AffectionateNickname: "Ame-chan".
153	* ArtificialHuman: Specifically, she's a Golem.
154	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: With her age being somewhere between 3-10 years old, she's this by default.
155	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's a bit off.
156	* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears early on in Vol 1-A and is mentioned a couple of times, but doesn't get to interact with the characters or get formally introduced until Part B.
157	* EmptyShell: [[spoiler: What she was originally before she started gaining a personality of her own.]]
158	* KaleidoscopeEyes: A hint as to what she really is.
159	* GamerChick: Is usually seen playing video games when she's not doing any club-related activities with her friends.
160	* GenkiGirl
161	* MsExposition: Is usually responsible for explaining the technicalities and sci-fi technobabble in the series.
162	* NewTransferStudent: She transfers to Touya's class in between Volumes 1 and 2.
163	* NonUniformUniform: Wears a blue and white jacket over her school uniform.
164	* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: She's a cybernetic android with a soul stone attached to her that serves as her brain and soul.
165	* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: While the Exploration Club members treat her like a normal person, Subaru only sees her as a living puppet. She's not even allowed to sleep with her friends at the castle and is ordered by Subaru to only stay the stables. Despite her friends' protests however, Ameno is fine with it.
166	* YoungerThanTheyLook: While the stone that acts as her "soul" was found ten years ago, her mechanical body had only been built three years ago, effectively making her actual age somewhere between three to ten years old.
167	-----
168	[[/folder]]
169	[[folder:Sunao Inari]]
170
171	A student who is currently in her second year. She was formerly a member of Seiran's Exploration Club alongside Misasagi until an incident in the past prior to Homura and Touya joining caused her to quit. By the time Homura and Touya try to get her back to the Exploration Club, she had been recovering in rehabilitation for more than half a year before resuming her studies.
172	------
173
174	* BigEater: Has a humongous appetite though even she has her limits when it comes to eating.
175	* ChekhovsGunman: She gets mentioned by Misasagi as early as Volume 1A [[spoiler: as the member who quit the Exploration Club]] even though she doesn't make an appearance or have a prominent role until Volume 2.
176	* ADogNamedDog: Though she gave him to the zoo after a couple of years of taking care of him, Inari had a '''Polar Bear''' for a pet named Pole (though everyone calls him her "little brother") and still visits and plays with him in the zoo on a periodic basis.
177	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has a tendency to be gruff and aloof, but is actually pretty nice and soft underneath all that.
178	* {{Irony}}: For someone who loves animals and was once the Exploration Club's resident animal expert, she has an allergy to animal fur. She tries to deny it by saying she's allergic to the pollen in the air when she, Homura, and Touya go to the zoo, but neither of them were even the least bit fooled by such an [[BlatantLies obvious lie]].
179	--> '''Homura:''' "[[DeadpanSnarker ...Yeah, it’s pretty bad...There’s a lot of hairy pollen here…]]"
180	* LittleBitBeastly: Gains fox ears and a tail whenever she travels to Nutella.
181	* MeaningfulName: "Inari" is the name of a fox deity. Guess what kind of [[LittleBitBeastly modifications]] her body goes through whenever she's on Nutella?
182	* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Misasagi, after an incident during an expedition went wrong and their friendship turned sour.
183	-----

185
186	[[folder:Chiayu Fujimori]]
187	[[quoteright:163:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fujimori.png]]
188	The Exploration Club's adviser in Seiran High. She also happens to be Homura's Modern Japanese teacher.
189	------
190	* AbusiveParents: PlayedForLaughs with regards to her relationship with Ameno.
191	* ApatheticTeacher: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. While she initially comes off as somewhat uncaring towards what might happen to her students while they're on Nutella (Homura's first trip there being the primary example), later chapters prove that she does show lots of concern towards them as an adviser should. [[spoiler: When Misasagi was injured and had to be bedridden for a while, Fujimori decided to watch over her while she recovered]].
192	* CoolTeacher
193	* EmbarrassingFirstName: Chiayu, at least whenever students call her that.
194	* InSeriesNickname: '''Mori-chan-sensei'''. She doesn't seem to appreciate this nickname that much either.
195	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Was initially opposed to Homura joining the Exploration Club, despite her unusually high aptitude for it, just because Homura ''[[DisproportionateRetribution completely forgot about her first meeting with her when Homura was still a middle school student]]''. The heart of gold part comes in when Homura successfully meets her conditions to join the club and warmly welcomes her as its member, even holding up her own end of the deal of convincing Homura's parents (specifically her father) to allow her to join the club.
196	* RunningGag: Her lovelife is something Homura ''never'' fails to bring up every time a topic related to it comes up out of the blue.
197	--> '''Homura:''' (after thinking Ameno is a possible daughter of Fujimori): "I-i-is she your illegitimate child!?"
198	* SheCleansUpNicely: Looks decent in a formal teacher's suit. Knowing [[DeadpanSnarker Homura]] and her [[VitriolicBestBuds teacher-student relationship]] with Fujimori-sensei, she acknowledges this, but also takes the time to take a jab at her while she's at it:
199	--> '''Homura:''' Sensei...are you going out job hunting?
200	--> '''Fujimori-sensei:''' Go ahead and laugh if you want.
201	--> '''Homura:''' No, no, you look wonderful. It looks cute on you. I really admire you.
202	--> '''Fujimori-sensei:''' ''[exasperated]'' I’m begging you, please just laugh already.
203	--> '''[[TheGadfly Homura:]]''' ''[enthusiastically]'' If you always taught lessons looking like that, I wouldn’t doze off in class!
204	* TheSlacker: Like Homura, except she's a teacher who takes it to a whole different level. She's completely averse to work and is content just lounging around a sofa and napping.
205	* WomanChild: PlayedForLaughs Not a single interaction with her would go by without Homura and Touya [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] that she is one heck of an irresponsible adult.
206	---> (Homura and Touya) made eye contact and mentally recorded to themselves: ‘Fujimori-sensei requires special attention when she hangs bait in front of our noses.’

213	Homura's classmate since middle school up to the present day. She's an aloof individual who's currently the sole member of the Going-Home Club after Homura joins the Exploration Club.
214	------
215	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Is brooding and distant to everyone, to the point that she scares off some of her classmates.
216	* BrutalHonesty: She's not fond of mincing her words at all.
217	* ChildhoodFriends: With Sachi Kamikoma, who acts as an older sister figure to her.
218	%% * DeadpanSnarker: Occasionally.
219	* ElegantClassicalMusician: Is noted to be a really good violinist, as seen when Homura sees her perform onstage.
220	* IceQueen: She's completely frosty towards people and doesn't seem to care at all that she's almost friendless.
221	* LonersAreFreaks: Scares her classmates because of her demeanor and solitary figure. Homura doesn't think so however and goes out of her way to befriend her anyway.
222	* PerpetualFrowner: Barely changes her expression at all.
223	* TheStoic: Pretty much. Almost nothing interests or fazes her, though some of Homura's reactions would give her pause sometimes.
224	* WhenSheSmiles: She smiles warmly for the first time after performing in a jazz concert.
225	------
226	[[/folder]]
227
228	[[folder:Takara Rokujizou]]
229	The current StudentCouncilPresident of Seiran High and a close friend of Misasagi's.
230	------
231	* TheGadfly: Kurama's reaction to her when she spots her spying on her conversation with Homura and Touya and Rokujizou's subsequent teasing her later on prove that she's this.
232	* LargeHam: Expect her to chew the scenery whenever she appears.
233	* StudentCouncilPresident: A hammy one at that.
234	------

236
237	[[folder:Yamashina]]
238	The Student Council's accountant.
239	------
240	* BeleagueredAssistant: To Rokujizou.
241	* ButtMonkey: Poor guy gets no respect from Rokujizou whatsoever.
242	* OnlyOneName: His first name is never revealed.
243	[[/folder]]
244
245	[[folder:Kifune Kurama]]
246	A member of the student council and Touya's classmate. She informs Homura and Touya of Inari's return to school.
247	------
248	* AlliterativeName: '''K'''ifune '''K'''urama.
249	* BeleagueredAssistant: Not to Yamashina's extent, but she's also one to Rokujizou.
250	* ServileSnarker: As her junior and a member under her student council term, she's one to Rokujizou, and can be sarcastically upfront with her comments about her without changing her demeanor in the slightest. Seeing as who [[LargeHam Rokujizou]] is, it's understandable that Kurama is this.

256	[[folder:Sachi Kamikoma]]
257	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kamikoma.png]]
258
259	The president of Hiyoshi High's Exploration Club and is currently in her third year. Is a childhood friend of Kujou's and a close friend of Misasagi's.
260
261	She, like Misasagi, is a Third Class Investigator with the class of "Bard".
262	------
263	* ACupAngst: Implied.
264	* AffectionateNickname: Misasagi calls her Sa-chan while Homura calls her Koma-senpai.
265	* BigSisterInstinct: Towards Orie, having known her for so long.
266	* ChildhoodFriends: With Kujou. She also serves as her CoolBigSis too.
267	* CoolBigSis: To Orie Kujou, her childhood friend. She looks out for her like a big sister usually would and would dote on her at times. This is extended to Homura and Sachi's other underclassmen as well.
268	* TheDreaded: The moment the boys who were hitting on Homura realize who Kamikoma was, their immediate response was to flee.
269	* FaceOfAThug: With her tomboyish appearance and piercings, you'd think she's some sort of delinquent.
270	* {{Foil}}: To Misasagi, as the resident presidents and seniors of their respective Exploration Clubs. While Misasagi is usually meek and soft-spoken, Kamikoma is loud and much more outspoken. Whereas Misasagi is tall and demure, Kamikoma is short and tomboyish. Even their Investigator's outfits' color schemes reflect this: Misasagi's is white and blue, while Kamikoma's is black and red.
271	* GoodOldFisticuffs: Specializes in hand-to-hand combat.
272	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Taichi Taga, her underclassman.
273	* ShipTease: With her underclassman, Taga.
274	----------
275	[[/folder]]
276
277	[[folder:Taichi Taga]]
278	The vice president of Hiyoshizaka High's Exploration Club. He is currently in his second year.
279
280	He is a Third Class Investigator with the class of "Berserker".
281	------
282	* AlliterativeName
283	* BewareTheQuietOnes: He's a passive, quiet and nice person overall but his gigantic size isn't just for show. When put in Berserker Mode, his strength and speed is multiplied greatly, but at the cost of going on an UnstoppableRage mode for a period of time. Only Kamikoma can soothe and command him while in this mode.
284	* TheBigGuy: He's ''huge'' for a high schooler.
285	* TheBerserker: It's his class after all. Also pretty surprising considering his status as a relatively quiet person.
286	* EyesAlwaysShut: He only opens them when in Berserk Mode.
287	* FaceOfAThug: Homura admits that she wouldn't want to encounter someone with his face and build in an isolated alleyway.
288	* GentleGiant: He's pretty big for his age, though he's fairly benevolent overall unless he's in Berserk Mode.
289	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With his senpai, Sachi Kamikoma.
290	* LittleBitBeastly: Gains wolf-like features on Nutella.
291	* TheQuietOne: Doesn't usually speak much, and even when he does, only utters a few words per sentence.
292	* ShipTease: With Kamikoma.
293	* YoungerThanTheyLook: With his large build and gruff appearance, you wouldn't ''believe for a second'' that he's only in his second year of high school.
294	---------
295	[[/folder]]
296	[[folder:Akiho Saho]]
297	A first year and one of the members of Hiyoshizaka High's Exploration Club. He befriends Homura sometime between the end of the first volume and before the beginning of the second one and is introduced as a friend she's particularly close with but not romantically (much to his disappointment). Has a reputation for being flirty with girls.
298	------
299	* CasanovaWannabe: Constantly flirts with any girl he comes across with, though he seems particularly drawn to [[DudeMagnet Homura]] the most and is usually seen flirting with her more. Surprisingly, Homura doesn't seem to mind all that much and seems to like him fine as a friend.
300	* LittleBitBeastly: Gains cat-like features while on Nutella.
301	* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Courtesy of his class and his field, he can speak and understand what animals are saying.
302	* TooDumbToLive: Peeping on a super-powered Nutellan with a whole slew of powerful spells and incantations under her sleeve while she was bathing isn't exactly a good idea. Akiho is extremely lucky that Subaru's chill about the whole thing and is on their side now.
303	[[/folder]]
304
305	[[folder:Yuri Kanae]]
306	Akiho's fellow first year at Hiyoshizaka High. Is mostly quiet and stoic in general but tends to open up more to her childhood friend, Ryou.
307	------
308	* TheAloner: Like Kujou, she prefers being and working alone.
309	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Has dark hair and is distant towards everyone barring Ryou.
310	* ChildhoodFriends: With Ryou. There are small hints that she may want to be [[ChildhoodFriendRomance more than this with him however]].
311	* TheQuietOne: She's a girl of few words and is likelier to ignore you than answer back when called.
312	* {{Sleepyhead}}: She first appears taking a nap during the assembly at the earlier chapters of volume 2-A, only to get a rude wake-up call via coffee being splashed all over her courtesy of Ryou. And when she participates in the race with her fellow Exploration Club members later on, she expresses disinterest and would rather just take a nap on Ryou's lap.
313	* TheStoic: Keeps up a quiet and distant demeanor to everyone she talks to, all of which you can count on one hand in her first appearance.
314	-------

316
317	[[folder:Ryou Hayase]]
318	A second year and a member of Hiyoshizaka High's Exploration Club. A childhood friend of Yuri's who has a mischievous and playful nature hidden underneath his cool expression.
319	------
320	* ChildhoodFriends: With Yuri.
321	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He introduces himself in the story and to Homura by gently shushing her to make it seem like he's telling Homura not to wake Yuri up from her nap...only to suddenly splash Yuri with (already cold) coffee while making it look like it was Homura who did it.
322	* TheGadfly: He has a tendency to tease people he knows. Homura provides an easy target for him to lay his gadfly tendencies on.
323	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a playful prankster, but he does care a lot for Yuri. His conversation with Homura in the final chapter of 2-A also shows that there's [[HiddenDepths more to him than he lets on]] underneath his mischievous persona.

335	!!Tomakomai Denpa High
336	[[folder:Shizune Himekawa]]
337	A first year at Tomakomai Denpa High and currently its only female member. She's laid back and chill, but is annoyed with her status as the sole female member of her school's Exploration Club, wishing more girls would join. She was online chat buddies with Touya together with Genya Otomaru from Kanazawa Asano High and instantly befriends Homura upon first meeting her.
338	------
339	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Downplayed, but she's a little odd.
340	* LargeHam: She's more subdued about it compared to Rokujizou, but she has a flair for the dramatic whenever her status as the lone female member of her school's Exploration Club is brought up.
341	* SmurfettePrinciple: She's currently the first and only female member of Tomokomai's Exploration Club, something that annoys her since she keeps getting harassed by some of the male members. She puts up with it rather well though.

347	[[/folder]]
348
349	[[folder:Misaki Oozore]]
350	The Vice President of Osaka Prefectural Nagumo High's Exploration Club and a third year. He's a well-known name among the Exploration Clubs in Japan, referring to him as "The Wizard" for his magic proficiency. He reins in Tenryuu whenever he get a little too rowdy for comfort.
351	------
352	* TheAce: Mature, calm, intelligent, reliable, and a man of many talents. It's no wonder a lot of people look up to him.
353	* GenderBlenderName: His first name, Misaki, is typically given to girls.
354	* HypercompetentSidekick: To Tenryuu. Not that Tenryuu's incompetent or anything but he can be irresponsible every now and then.
355	* RedBaron: The Exploration Clubs from all over the nation know him as "The Wizard" for his proficiency in magic.
356	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Ice cream.

365
366	[[folder:Sae Nanakubo]]
367	An abrasive 2nd year from Nagumo High.
368	------
369	* EmbarrassingNickname: To her, it's Nana.
370	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is downright rude and abrasive and overall unfriendly to nearly everyone who talks to her, but isn't above thanking Homura for successfully getting Inari to participate in the secret event she invited her to that's held in Nutella.
371	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Inari.

376	[[folder:Subaru: Princess of the Pleiades]]
377	A mysterious witch Homura and co. encounter on Nutella.
378	------
379	* AntiquatedLinguistics: Speaks in an archaic and very formal Japanese dialect. Translators appropriately match it with a bit of YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe.
380	* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: Thanks to the Spirit Stone she possessed warping her personality, Subaru's actions and attitude towards everyone became very temperamental and malicious as a result, since normally, according to Suzuran, Subaru would ''never'' act in that manner and was always a kind person albeit a little strange at times.]]
381	* TheAtoner: For her actions of endangering the Seiran crew in volume 1, she agrees to let the Exploration Club use her castle as a temporary base camp and a base of operations for their next journey. She even personally apologizes to Touya and Homura for [[spoiler: turning Touya into a mindless puppet back then and promises to teach Homura Mathematica, a.k.a., magic, as her form of atonement towards them.]]
382	* BerserkButton: She hates grave robbers with a passion. Mistaking Homura and Touya for them is what made her attack them in the first place.
383	* BigBad: Of Vol 1.
384	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her true personality.
385	* DarkAndTroubledPast: She went on a rampage at one point before the series started which resulted in the abandoned ruins Homura and co found in volume 1. Why she did so is unclear but she's clearly ashamed of it in the present.
386	* FamousAncestor: She's actually related to one. Specifically, she's is, and is related to [[spoiler: the [[EveryoneIsRelated Misasagi family.]]]]
387	* FantasticRacism: Towards Ameno, as she doesn't see her as a living being equal to humans and instead, sees her as a mere puppet, despite her sentience.
388	* HalfHumanHybrid: The offspring of an Earthling man and a Nutellan woman.
389	* HeelFaceTurn: After Homura [[DefeatMeansFriendship defeats her]] during the climax of 1-B.
390	* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: She did a lot of it in Vol 1-B. Her primary moments being blasting Homura in the chest with a powerful lightning spell she conjured up for speaking out against her for taking Touya from them, coming really close to killing her, and an almost literal kick the dog moment afterwards was blasting Suzuran with another spell when she decides to join Homura and co.]]
391	* LongLostRelative: She is considered to be one to [[spoiler: Mayo Misasagi, a descendant of her uncle's]], if you cut away all the centuries that have passed on Earth.
392	* MamaBear: Was Suzuran's surrogate mother ever since Suzuran was still an infant. Threatening her, [[spoiler: or threatening to take Suzuran away from her]] guarantees you a lightning blast strong enough to reduce you to ashes.
393	* MoodSwinger: She goes from being murderously angry, but calm in the first instance, then suddenly whimsical and cheery the next, and then rage-filled and hateful immediately after in rapid succession. [[spoiler: The Spirit Stone she always held may be at fault here for changing her mood so often.]]
394	* {{Mukokuseki}}: [[spoiler: A woman hailing previously from the land of Edo (read: ancient Japan)]] somehow has blonde hair.
395	* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite looking like, at most, a young woman in her mid to late twenties Subaru [[spoiler: was formerly a citizen of ancient Edo.]] Based on this piece of info, she should be around more than a few centuries old as of the story's time.
396	* ParentalSubstitute: To Suzuran. [[spoiler: Which makes her KickTheDog moment above despicable enough to piss off Homura.]]
397	* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: After Homura beats her into submission and frees her from the stone's control,]] she willingly allows the Seiran crew to use her castle as a basecamp in the meantime while [[spoiler: they fix their original one after Suzuran and her pack destroyed it earlier.]]

402	A young kimono-wearing wolf girl the Exploration Club members encounter during their venture in Nutella. She is aggressive towards Homura and her company for stepping foot on Nutella.

405	* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: She is the lost child of the woman who was passing "missing" flyers on the station Homura goes to.]]
406	* HappilyAdopted: By Subaru and Yukiwarimaru. She loves both dearly as if they were her real family and they love her just as much back.
407	* WildChild: Is seen as one in her first appearance, as she is always together with her wolf family.
408	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Setting dangerous, explosive traps with the intent to incapacitate, having her wolf family attack who she perceives as intruders, and kidnapping one of said intruders aren't exactly standard behavior for a kid like her.
409	* YoungerThanTheyLook: She's around twelve in Nutella, but [[spoiler: she's only supposed to be around five years old in Earth years.]]
410	[[/folder]]

412	[[folder:Yukiwarimaru]]
413	A gigantic white wolf who dutifully follows Subaru, her master. She was the one who found Suzuran in the forest as an infant.
414	------
415	* AlternateCharacterReading: Her name can also be read as "Sekkachimaru", a name Suzuran always refers to her as, much to Yukiwarimaru's chagrin.
416	* ParentalSubstitute: Suzuran also considers Yukiwarimaru her mother besides Suzuran for also raising her since infancy.
