11	!!Yūichi Aizawa
12	!!!Voiced by: Creator/AtsushiKisaichi (JP - Toei anime), Creator/TomokazuSugita (JP - Creator/KyoAni anime), Creator/MiwaYasuda (JP - child), Creator/ChrisPatton (EN - teenager), Creator/ShannonEmerick (EN - child)

14	->''"They're called miracles because they do happen, even when things seem hopeless."''
15
16	The protagonist. At the beginning of the story, he has just returned to the town where he used to spend his vacations as a kid for the first time in seven years in order to stay with his aunt, Akiko, while his parents are out of the country. However, he has practically no memory of the time he spent there all those years ago. As time goes by, he gradually learns why that is, but little does he know that he has [[EarnYourHappyEnding a long,]] [[{{Utsuge}} painful]] journey ahead of him...
17	----
18	* AccidentalPervert: He once entered the bathroom while Makoto was taking a bath. And rather than leaving, he jokes about trying to get in with her.
19	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the original visual novel he's a FeaturelessProtagonist whose [[TheFaceless face isn't fully shown]] in cutscenes where he does appear, and he's rather plain-looking in the 2002 anime, but he's [[http://images4.fanpop.com/image/forum/81000/81261_1301144210056_full.jpg made]] [[http://images.wikia.com/kanon/images/1/1b/KN2006_Yuuichi.jpg much]] [[http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w326/AmiMercury/Anime/vlcsnap-20752.png more]] attractive in the 2006 anime.
20	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The 2006 anime sands down some of Yūichi's rougher edges, dialling back his more cynical and smug moments somewhat, while portraying him as a more empathetic guy from the get-go.
21	* AllLovingHero: A little more cynical version, but when you get past his snarky attitude, he's a very loving person.
22	* BorrowedCatchphrase: Or rather Borrowed Verbal Tic, as he mutters "Uguu" in Episode 16.
23	* ConvenientlySeated: Yūichi sits in the second-to-last seat along the left windows. Three of his closest friends, including his cousin, all sit in the three seats directly adjacent to him. His seating next to the window is also particularly more convenient to the story as it allows him to see Shiori in the courtyard whenever she appears.
24	* DeadpanSnarker: He can be ''very'' sarcastic and is prone to making snarky remarks towards the various heroines. This is especially the case in the 2006 anime, where he's voiced by [[Creator/TomokazuSugita the same voice actor]] as Kyon from ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', another notable example of the trope.
25	* DeathByDespair: Narrowly averted. [[spoiler:[[DespairEventHorizon Overcome by the weight of knowing that]] [[AwfulTruth he is the cause of the majority his love interests' misery and having forgotten about them]] along Ayu's DeadAllAlong moment, he collapses under the snowstorm, prepared to die to join Ayu. Makoto saves him from freezing to death.]]
26	* TheDulcineaEffect: Has shown a distinct willingness to get involved (with very little concern for the potential negative effects on his own happiness or mental health) in the problems of girls he barely knows. It causes him no end of grief, especially in the case of Mai, where it's [[TooDumbToLive potentially dangerous for his physical well-being as well.]]
27	* EasyAmnesia: He doesn't remember much about the town at all. [[spoiler:For good reason, it turns out.]]
28	* TheFaceless: The visual novel hides any facial features he may have, best demonstrated in [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/kanon/images/8/89/0095.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161018040203 this CG with Makoto and Mishio]]
29	* FatalAttractor: He often jokes about attracting girls with psychological problems or on the verge of death.
30	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:It turns out he knows all of the main girls except Shiori from childhood. However, due to the traumatic events that occurred back then, [[RepressedMemories he doesn't remember]]. More details about each are provided below.]]
31	* TheGadfly: His life appears to consist mainly of trolling his various love interests.
32	* GetAHoldOfYourselfWoman: Snaps Mai out of her HeroicBSOD after [[spoiler:Sayuri gets attacked by demons]].
33	* GhostAmnesia:
34	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He has his moments of seeming rather cynical, loves messing with the girls' heads and occasionally comes across as smug or condescending, but, on the whole, he's a pretty decent, charming sort of guy.
35	* KidAnova: He had built the foundations of his harem by the time he was ten, which was probably the universe's way of rewarding him for all the [[EarnYourHappyEnding unpleasantness that's about to happen.]]
36	* {{Nephewism}}: He goes to live with his aunt at the start of the story because his parents are leaving home for an extended period of time and would rather have him live with Akiko until graduation than be home by himself.
37	* NewTransferStudent: In the beginning of the series, he gets transferred into Nayuki's class.
38	* ObliviousToLove: Has been like this in regards to Nayuki's feelings for seven years.
39	* OfficialCouple: By the end of the anime, Yūichi has officially become a couple with Ayu.
40	* OneHeadTaller: He's a full head taller than the short Ayu, his main love interest in the anime.
41	* ThePrankster: He enjoys teasing and pulling pranks on everyone he meets. This is especially apparent with Makoto, who often tries to prank him in return, but he's good at turning the tables on her.
42	* RealMenHateSugar: Claims to, at any rate. He's initially pleased by the fact that [[GargleBlaster Akiko's jam]] isn't sweet, but is [[ScrewballSerum somewhat less pleased]] after he actually tries it.
43	* RepressedMemories: Of [[spoiler:Ayu's injury and of the town as a whole, due to [[TraumaInducedAmnesia the trauma that incident caused]].]]
44	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: He is a calm and laid-back guy while Ayu is an easily excitable GenkiGirl and Makoto is a carefree prankster. Less pronounced with Nayuki, Shiori and Mai though.
45	* SecretKeeper: He's the only one who knows about Mai's DemonSlaying escapades and refuses to let Sayuri or anyone else know about this in spite of the trouble they cause.
46	* SelectiveObliviousness: In the end, he realizes that his own amnesia is also caused by this.
47	* ShutUpHannibal: His quote at the top is in reference to Shiori's own cynical quote, he truly believes that Shiori will pull through and he wants her to realize that as well.
48	* TheSnarkKnight: He's the male hero, but also pretty damn snarky.

51	[[folder:Ayu Tsukimiya]]
52	!!Ayu Tsukimiya
53	!!!Voiced by: Creator/YuiHorie (JP - both anime), Creator/BrittneyKarbowski (EN)
54	[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsukimiya_ayu_2006_anime.png]]
55	->''"...it's a promise."''
56
57	A [[GenkiGirl cheerful girl]] well-known both within and outside the story for her VerbalTic and for her [[TrademarkfavoriteFood bordering-on-unreasonable love of taiyaki]], Yūichi meets her early on after she [[CrashIntoHello collides with him head first.]] They quickly become good friends, and her collisions with him soon [[RunningGag become a running joke]] (though it's later toned down to her simply [[TheGlomp glomping him]]). She is very short and behaves rather childishly, in spite of being the [[OlderThanTheyLook same age as Yūichi.]] She is looking for something important to her, [[EasyAmnesia but she can't remember what it is.]] She is the most prominent of the girls in the story and Yūichi's kanon (pardon the bad pun) love interest.
58	----
59	* ACupAngst: In the VisualNovel and the 2002 anime, she apologizes for not being as well-endowed as Nayuki.
60	* AllLovingHeroine: She's kind and loving towards everyone and tries to help them as much as possible.
61	* AstralProjection: [[spoiler:Ayu is actually in a coma because of a serious accident she suffered seven years ago. The version of her wandering the town is a projection of her soul.]]
62	* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Yūichi. They became friends when they were children during one of his visits to the town, but didn't see each other for years [[spoiler:due to Ayu's accident leaving her in a coma]]. When they meet again as teenagers, they fall in love.
63	* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: [[spoiler:In the anime, she believes in the power of the last wish she made over the angel doll so much that it comes true, [[WorldHealingWave helping everyone else recover from whatever bad things have happened to them over the course of the story.]] In both anime and VisualNovel she also believes so much in her and Yūichi's childhood promises to each other that her comatose body is able to create a solid AstralProjection of herself into the outside world.]]
64	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Ayu has an odd behavior and way of thinking.
65	* ConvenientComa: [[spoiler:She spent the last seven years in a coma after an accident in which she fell off a tree.]]
66	* CrashIntoHello: Ayu often meets Yūichi by colliding with him head-on. It becomes an obviously invoked trope when Ayu keeps doing it on purpose.
67	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Light brown hair and light brown eyes.
68	* CuteClumsyGirl: Her first scene involves crashing into Yuichi and it's a bit of a RunningGag.
69	* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The reveal of her accident and her generally ghostly behavior imply she really died years ago, but she turns out to be AnAstralProjectionNotAGhost. She does wake up from her coma at the end.]]
70	* TheDitz: Ayu can be a bit of an airhead.
71	* {{Expy}}: Ayu is mostly an Expy from a game the Key team made under a different name, before they formed Key they were Tactics, a branch of Nexton. The game is ''[[VisualNovel/OneKagayakuKisetsuE ONE: To the Radiant Season]]''. Look at the character featured on the cover art, it's a grown-up look-a-like of Ayu.
72	* FeatherMotif: She has an angel motif, what with the wings on her backpack as well as an early image in both the Visual Novel and 2006 opening depicting her with angel-like wings.
73	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: It turns out Yūichi knows her from seven years ago, and they were very close back then. It takes a while for her and Yūichi to recognize each other.
74	* FromRoommatesToRomance: Since her family is away, Ayu ends up living in the Minase household, which allows her to become even closer to Yūichi as he also lives there. Ayu and Yūichi become a couple near the end of the anime.
75	* GenkiGirl: Not much seems to get her down. [[spoiler:At least, not until the revelation of her true nature, anyways.]]
76	* GhostAmnesia: PlayedWith. [[spoiler:Ayu is an AstralProjection instead of a ghost, but she doesn't remember that she had an accident many years ago and has been in a coma ever since.]]
77	* TheGlomp: There's a RunningGag where she keeps trying to tackle hug Yūichi. [[DefiedTrope 'Trying' because he is prone to dodging.]]
78	* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:After finding out that the "school in the woods" doesn't exist, she begins to freak out as she realizes that her entire existence isn't exactly real. After frantically trying one last time to find her lost item, she disappears.]]
79	* HiddenBuxom: When she takes her cloak off, her chest is around the size as the other female characters. She actually has a very slightly bigger breast size (80) than Shiori (79).
80	* IconicOutfit: The duffel coat and winged backpack are quite well known to be hers.
81	* ImportantHaircut: [[spoiler:In an epilogue, Ayu gets her hair cut after coming out of her coma. However, she ends up regretting it because her hair is now ''too'' short and she ends up looking like a boy.]]
82	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:When Yūichi tells her right before she disappears the second time to make her third wish on the angel doll, she wishes that Yūichi would just forget about her, because that way he won't be distraught over what's happened to her- he rejects that wish, and tells her to wish for something else. So in the anime she wishes for something else instead, and this wish heals everyone else, implying that she simply wished for him to be happy.]]
83	* KiddieKid: She's the same age as Yūichi, but she acts like a little girl in more than one sense. [[spoiler:This can be justified since it's revealed that she's been in a coma for seven years, and thus it would be unlikely that she'd mature much.]]
84	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRi7T4Lh6Rk A Sunny Town]], an upbeat and catchy tune that gives off a lot of positivity.
85	* LethalChef: Whenever she tries to make breakfast, she burns all the food.
86	* MementoMacGuffin: She's looking for something, and she knows it's important, but she can't for the life of her remember what it is. [[spoiler:It's the angel doll Yūichi gave her.]]
87	* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:When Yūichi remembers Ayu falling from a tree, he assumes the Ayu that has been with him until now was her ghost. However, turns out Ayu is still alive, but in a coma.]]
88	* OfficialCouple: Ayu becomes Yūichi's girlfriend towards the end of the anime series.
89	* OlderThanSheLooks: She is Yūichi's age, but she looks to be not much older than twelve. Yūichi [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this [[TheGadfly mercilessly]] and Ayu is not amused. This is mostly thanks to her height and [[HiddenBuxom baggy coat]], though.
90	* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Yūichi tends to remind her of her unintentionally Dining and Dashing a few times.
91	* OutOfFocus:
92	** Ayu is completely absent during Makoto's story arc in the anime. Lampshaded in the first episode since the arc, as she mentions to Yūichi that she has not seen him in ages.
93	** Ayu appears far less in routes that aren't her own in the visual novel. Towards the end of the other girls' routes, she apparently finds what she was looking for and comes to tell Yūichi goodbye. [[spoiler: This becomes a lot more tragic once you actually play Ayu's route and realize that she was saying goodbye to him before she disappeared permanently.]]
94	* OutdoorsyGal: She liked to climb trees when she was a child.
95	* ParentalAbandonment: Her parents are nowhere to be seen. Not too surprising, considering [[spoiler:her mom's dead, and she's been in a coma for seven years. Her father is mentioned to visit her during the weekends.]]
96	* PinkySwear: She seems to be fond of pinky swear promises.
97	* ThePollyanna: It's rare to not see her in an optimistic mood.
98	* PrettyFreeloader: Ayu gets invited by Akiko to stay at her house until her own family returns home. While Ayu does try to help out around the house, her attempts at cooking always fail.
99	* RunningGag:
100	** Her repeatedly [[CrashIntoHello colliding head-first]] with Yūichi, and later, her repeated [[TheGlomp glomping]] of him.
101	** Also, her stealing taiyaki by accident, for the first little while, at least.
102	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Ayu is easily excitable and energetic while Yūichi is calm and laid-back.
103	* SymbolicWings: She has a winged backpack.
104	* TokenHouseguest: Halfway through the anime series, Ayu is welcomed to stay as a guest at the Minase household, since Ayu's family is away from home.
105	* TokenMiniMoe: The shortest and most childish member of the cast.
106	* TomatoSurprise: Two in rapid succession. [[spoiler:The first being her accident (and thus, the fact that the Ayu we've seen all along is an AstralProjection) and the second being the fact that no, she's not dead, just in a coma.]]
107	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Taiyaki is her absolute favorite food, so much so that she accidentally steals it twice.
108	* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:She seemingly is well on her way to a full recovery by the end of the story, once she awakens from her coma. You can call it a miracle, which, it turns out, is exactly what it is, of course.]]
109	* VerbalTic: "Uguu-!", which is probably one of the most famous {{Verbal Tic}}s in fiction. [[DeadpanSnarker Yūichi]] [[LampshadeHanging constantly teases her about it.]]
110	* WideEyedIdealist: Despite her problems, she has a good view on the world and attempts to share them with others.

113	[[folder:Nayuki Minase]]
114	!!Nayuki Minase
115	!!!Voiced by: Creator/MarikoKouda (JP - both anime), Creator/JessicaBoone (EN)
116	[[quoteright:312:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minase_nayuki_2006_anime.png]]
117	->''"Do you remember my name?"''
118
119	Yūichi's cousin who sleeps under the same roof as him (as Yūichi is staying with his aunt and Nayuki's mother, Akiko). He remembers her vaguely from seven years ago. [[KissingCousins She has a fairly obvious crush on him,]] [[AllLoveIsUnrequited which he doesn't return]]. [[HeavySleeper She also has a serious problem getting up in the morning, and is prone to falling asleep again repeatedly throughout the day.]] Loves anything with strawberries, especially strawberry sundaes, and can easily be bribed with them (which is useful for Yūichi). She is hardworking, upbeat and very athletic, being the captain of the school's track team because to her running ability, gained from years of having to run to school to be on time due to her sleep habits.
120	----
121	* AllLovingHeroine: In a similar vein to Ayu, she's a very loving and caring person.
122	* CatchPhrase: "Faito da yo" ("I'm not worried about it" or various similar things in the dub) and "Usotsuki" (which means "liar", but is usually "You're (such) a liar" in the dub).
123	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Downplayed; it gradually becomes apparent that she's more than a little weird in some ways (like her fixation on cats), though she's quite normal in others, and she might be the least screwed up of the main girls.
124	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and eyes.
125	* CutenessProximity: Any time she sees a cat (even a wild one), she'll go temporarily loopy and try to pet it, despite the fact that she's allergic to them.
126	* {{Deuteragonist}}: If Ayu could be considered the "main girl" of ''Kanon'', Nayuki could be considered the "second main girl". She's an integral part of the story who helps Yūichi settle into the setting and serves as a driving force for him to reclaim his memories. Even official material such as the covers of the Dreamcast, [=PS2=] and PC Standard Edition have her accompany Ayu as a representative of ''Kanon''.
127	* DisappearedDad: So disappeared that she's never even ''seen'' the guy. He's only mentioned once.
128	* FromRoommatesToRomance: Yūichi moves into Nayuki's house due to his family circumstances. Having had a crush on him since she was a child, Nayuki is happy to live with Yūichi.
129	* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's generally feminine, having [[LongHairIsFeminine long hair]] and loving cute animals (especially [[KindHeartedCatLover cats]]), but she's also athletic enough to be the captain of the girl's track team at school.
130	* HairIntakes: The two "cat ears" that are part of her hairdo.
131	* HeavySleeper: She owns at least a dozen alarm clocks and they ''still'' don't succeed in waking her up. Her running ability was developed in part to allow her to still be at school on time.
132	* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Becomes very distraught when Akiko is hit by a car, refusing to leave her room or talk to anyone. Yūichi and Kaori are able to talk her out of it and recovers. Really shows how close she is to her mother.]]
133	* HiddenDisdainReveal: [[spoiler:Accuses Yūichi of this towards her during her aforementioned HeroicBSOD, given that he hadn't returned any of her letters and had pretty much forgotten about her.]]
134	* HopelessWithTech: She says she's not good with machines. The wake up message Yūichi hears from the alarm clock. Took her ''forever'' to record the message to the point where she needed Akiko's help.
135	* IronicEcho: She says the wake up message on the aforementioned alarm clock, word for word when she tries to get Yūichi out from bed.
136	* ItsAllMyFault: Blames herself [[spoiler:for Akiko's accident because Akiko was out of the house for her sake, even though it was no one's fault.]]
137	* KindheartedCatLover: Despite being allergic to them, she tries to pet a cat every chance she gets. She even wears cat slippers and wears cat paw print pajamas. She even named the the cat heads printed on her robe.
138	* KissingCousins: She is in love with her cousin Yūichi.
139	* LateForSchool: Avoiding being this due to her [[HeavySleeper odd sleep habits]] was why she got so good at running in the first place.
140	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyNqvmunLtc The Girl of Snow]], a winter-like piece that is nonetheless upbeat.
141	* LongHairIsFeminine: She has long hair and is very much feminine.
142	* MeaningfulName: Her name contains the kanji for "snow". Snow is a very common reoccuring motif in the story, and while not as heavily marketed as Ayu she's still an integral part of the story itself.
143	* NiceGirl: A cheerful and upbeat young woman.
144	* NotAMorningPerson: She mostly just mumbles, drools and sleepwalks her way through her mornings. She once almost drowned while brushing her teeth.
145	* PassionateSportsGirl: She's the captain of the girls' track team due to her strong running ability. She managed to become such a strong runner after years of running to avoid being late for school, thanks to her being a {{Sleepyhead}}.
146	* PatientChildhoodLoveInterest: She's been carrying a torch for Yūichi since they were little kids, but he doesn't even notice except in her route and [[spoiler:he forgot that she already confessed to him and he rejected her years ago- mainly because she did so at the worst possible time and he likely didn't even hear her]].
147	* SharedFamilyQuirks: Nayuki acts very similarly to her mother. They even tell the same jokes.
148	* {{Sleepyhead}}: She has a habit of randomly falling asleep throughout the day, sometimes while standing up or walking.
149	* StepfordSmiler: Despite her cheerful attitude, it turns out she keeps to herself unhappy memories of [[spoiler:Yūichi basically rejecting her confession of love to him years ago]].
150	* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks nearly identical to her mother, Akiko.
151	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She loves strawberries and anything strawberry-flavored, such as strawberry jam and especially strawberry sundaes. Yūichi bribes her with sundaes in particular.
152	* WideEyedIdealist: Debatable, but she does seem pretty upbeat and positive most of the time. Only after [[spoiler:Akiko's accident]] does she really seem unhappy.

155	[[folder:Shiori Misaka]]
156	!!Shiori Misaka
157	!!!Voiced by: Creator/HirokoKonishi (JP - visual novel), Akemi Satou (JP - both anime), Creator/MaggieFlecknoe (EN)
158	[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/misaka_shiori_2006_anime.png]]
159	->''"They're called miracles because they don't happen."''
160
161	A [[DelicateAndSickly sickly]] girl that Yūichi and Ayu run into early on, and who is frequently seen hanging around outside the school during classes, apparently waiting for "someone important to her". She's quiet, peaceful and pretty pleasant and normal (though she does have a somewhat odd sense of humor and an odd fondness for eating ice cream in below-freezing weather, not to mention her almost complete terribleness at arcade games), other than being terminally ill, of course. She also has some troubles at home that are vaguely alluded to.
162	----
163	* BungledSuicide: [[spoiler:On the day she met Ayu and Yūichi she was preparing to slit her wrist. Her chance encounter with them encouraged her to go on after she miraculously survived]].
164	* CatchPhrase: "I don't like people who say things like that" and variations thereof.
165	* CloudCuckooLander: To an extent, what with her odd habit of eating ice cream outside in the middle of winter, her desire to build a ''thirty meter'' snowman and several other oddities. Still, not as extreme an example as Nayuki or Ayu, arguably.
166	* DangerousSixteenthBirthday: [[spoiler:The doctors say she won't make it much past hers.]]
167	* DeadpanSnarker: The only main girl to make much effort to counter Yūichi's snark, and the one he's the least condescending to as a result.
168	* DefinitelyJustACold: She insists that whatever she's sick with is just a cold. Obviously, it's not.
169	* DelicateAndSickly: She has suffered from disease all her life and is almost always absent from school because of her weak condition.
170	* {{Fainting}}: She apparently fainted on her first day of school, and, until late in the series, has been absent ever since.
171	* FamilyThemeNaming: [[spoiler:Shiori is actually Kaori's younger sister, with their similar names being a hint to their relation.]]
172	* GiftedlyBad:
173	** As Yūichi points out, it takes real skill to get zero at Whack-a-Mole. She doesn't like that statement too much.
174	** She's equally as terrible at her art hobby. Her "best work" was incredibly unimpressive to Yūichi.
175	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkKMc0w8xbQ Beyond the Smile]], a peaceful yet somewhat wistful theme.
176	* PerfectHealth: She initially dismisses her skipping classes and lack of energy as "a cold." While this excuse rapidly wears thin, the [[TheReveal heartbreaking revelation]] is somewhat spoiled by the audience being well aware it could only be a fatal condition.
177	* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Turns out she is Kaori's sister, and that the two were very close until Kaori began distancing herself from her sister to avoid the pain of losing her. She attended school for exactly one day before she fainted in class and was sent home to recover, and does not return until late in the story. During this time, she hangs out with Yūichi and has a birthday party thrown for her, during which she and her sister begin to repair their relationships to one another.]]
178	* SnowballFight: She gets into one with Yūichi. She has good aim for someone whose eyes were averted for most of the fight...
179	* SoapOperaDisease: She has suffered from an unspecified illness since birth. While she tries to minimize the severity of her illness, it is later revealed to be terminal and she probably has little more than a year left to live.
180	* StepfordSmiler: Big time. She soldiers all of the trauma that her illness causes her with a smile on her face. She only briefly drops it around the people she cares about.
181	* StepfordSnarker: Her snark hides a lot of personal issues.
182	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's sometimes seen eating vanilla ice cream.
183	* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:She recovers completely from her illness at the tail end of the story thanks to [[WorldHealingWave Ayu's miracle]].]]
184	* VictorianNovelDisease: Even though she has been sick from birth from a terminal illness, Shiori looks perfectly cute and shows no real symptoms of a disease other than getting tired easily and mentions that she's prone to fainting.
185	* YourDaysAreNumbered: She may not live long enough to see her past her 17th birthday.

192	->''"Spring will come... I wish it was always spring."''
193
194	Makoto is a mischievous, [[FieryRedHead red-haired]] {{Tsundere}} who accosts Yūichi in the market the day after he arrives and claims to be holding a grudge against him. [[EasyAmnesia However, she doesn't remember why]], and, in fact, [[IdentityAmnesia she doesn't remember very much at all, not even her own name.]] She accepts Akiko's offer to live at her house until she remembers, becoming a PrettyFreeloader in the process. She also develops a fondness for pork buns and romance manga. All the while, she attempts to remember who she is, but it turns out she may have been better off not knowing.
195	----
196	* AsianFoxSpirit: [[spoiler:Makoto is actually a fox that took the form of a girl to meet Yūichi, the boy who took care of her years ago.]]
197	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In the 2002 Toei anime, she comes back to life at the end.]]
198	* CuteLittleFangs: She has small but still noticeable fangs, highlighting her fiery and mischievous nature. [[spoiler:They also serve as a hint about her true nature as a shapeshifted fox.]]
199	* DefrostingIceQueen: Originally she has a grudge against Yūichi but still kinda likes him anyways, but gradually she abandons the grudge and just fawns on him when he abandons the escalating trick war between them.
200	* FieryRedhead: She has reddish-orange hair and a bit of a temper to match. [[spoiler:Since she's actually a fox, which has natural red fur, this only makes sense.]]
201	* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: Leads to a DownerEnding. [[spoiler:When she was still a fox, she made a wish to be able to meet with Yūichi again, which was granted by turning her into a human and giving her human intelligence. The price was losing all her memories and then slowly losing all her intelligence and motor controls until she eventually dies with only about as much intelligence as a fox possesses. Yūichi is left all alone and unsure of whether he loved her or not, though it is implied he did not.]]
202	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:She turns out to have been a young fox that Yūichi rescued seven years ago when she was injured, and that she wants revenge on him because he abandoned her after she had recovered when he had to leave town to return home.]]
203	* FromRoommatesToRomance: As a result of having amnesia and no other place to go, Makoto ends up living with Yūichi at his aunt's house. Even though she initially thought she hated him, Makoto falls in love with Yuichi.
204	* GirlishPigtails: Her hair is tied up into twintails, which helps identify her as a {{Tsundere}}.
205	%%* HeadPet: Piro likes it up there...
206	* IdentityAmnesia: She doesn't remember who she is at all, just that she has an inexplicable grudge against Yūichi. As is revealed later, [[spoiler:this is because she's not actually human, and, as a fox, doesn't exactly have an identity in the human sense. Also, the act of becoming human erased her previous memories. She took the name Makoto Sawatari from one of the few things that she did manage to remember, which was Yūichi telling her (while she was still a fox) about an older girl by that name he had a crush on.]]
207	* InnocentlyInsensitive: She drops Piro from an overpass (thankfully, onto a truck) because she doesn't understand the difference between wild and domesticated animals. [[spoiler:As a PetBabyWildAnimal who was unknowingly abandoned by Yuichi, this makes sense.]]
208	* LastRequest: [[spoiler:As she loses her intelligence, she tells Yūichi she wants to marry him someday. They hold a little wedding ceremony before she disappears.]]
209	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB1fUxc2yaE The Fox and the Grapes]], a slightly mischievous piece befitting of Makoto.
210	* NameAmnesia: Due to her IdentityAmnesia, it takes her some time to even remember her own name [[spoiler:and it's not even hers, but the name of a woman that Yūichi mentioned to her back when she was a fox. In fact, she never had a name to begin with, since she was a fox prior to losing her memory.]]
211	* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:Right after she and Yūichi have been "married", she disappears in front of Yūichi.]]
212	* NonhumanLoverReveal: [[spoiler:She's actually a fox that Yūichi looked after when he was young.]]
213	* OneSteveLimit: [[spoiler:Turns out she's not the real Makoto Sawatari at all; it was the name of an older girl Yūichi told her had a crush on at the time, and she took that name for herself since it was one of the few things she could remember. The real one makes an appearance in the 2006 Creator/KyoAni adaptation, and naturally there are [[EpilepticTrees theories about connections between the two]]...]]
214	* ThePrankster: She often pulls pranks on Yūichi, due to her mischievous nature. She has nothing on Yūichi though, since he easily wins every battle of their "prank war", and she eventually stops doing this once she falls for him.
215	* PrettyFreeloader: Since she doesn't have memories or any place to stay at, Akiko welcomes Makoto into her house where she lets her eat and sleep for free. Although, Makoto does get a job later, thus subverting the trope.
216	* TokenHouseguest: She gets taken in as a guest at the Minase household and gets treated as part of the family even though she isn't related by blood to Akiko and Nayuki like Yūichi is.
217	* TomboyishName: Makoto is called out on having a "boy's name". In Japan "Makoto" is essentially a unisex name, but it's given to boys more often than girls.
218	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She loves pork buns.
219	* {{Tsundere}}: Harsh type. Makoto is more mischievous than violent, but she acts hostile towards Yūichi because she thinks she hates him even though it becomes increasingly obvious that's not the case.
220	* VerbalTic: She says "Auuu-!" whenever she gets annoyed, depressed or chastised. [[spoiler:Once she begins to lose her humanity and forget, it becomes all she can say.]]

226	[[quoteright:322:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kawasumi_mai_anime_2006.png]]
227	->''"...I am a demon hunter."''
228
229	Mai is a [[TheStoic calm]], [[NotSoStoic seemingly]] EmotionlessGirl who comes to the school at night to fight demons. Because she has been seen there at night and because windows have been inexplicably broken, she is perceived as being responsible, and has been branded a [[JapaneseDelinquents delinquent]] by most of the students and the staff at the school. She is excellent with a sword, and she seems to know things about the strange goings-on around the town, giving Yūichi cryptic advice on several occasions. Her best friend [[LesYay (and possibly more)]] is Sayuri Kurata, and she aspires to be a veterinarian.
230	----
231	* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Sharp enough to slash demons and break a brick, but apparently not sharp enough to cut a banana.
232	* ActionGirl: She's an experienced demon hunter and excellent with a sword.
233	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She's an outcast at school due to her reputation as a delinquent, with her {{only friend}} being Sayuri. Also, when she was a child, [[spoiler:the people around her condemned her as a freak because of her powers and drove her out of town]].
234	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Mai is the tallest of the girls in series, displays a rather cold, aloof and mysterious attitude, and has dark blue hair.
235	* AnimalEaredHeadband: [[spoiler:Yūichi]] gave her a bunny-eared headband when they were kids.
236	* BadassAdorable: She is able to fight and is rather cute.
237	* BrokenBird: She wasn't always so stoic and aloof. She became like that after [[spoiler:her powers got her driven out of her town and she thought her only friend Yūichi abandoned her]].
238	* BungledSuicide: [[spoiler:After the true nature of the demons is revealed, she thanks Yūichi and stabs herself. She gets better thanks to acceptance of her powers.]]
239	* ChildhoodFriendRomance: [[spoiler:Mai is one of Yūichi's romantic options and although he doesn't remember at first, he was friends with Mai when they were children.]]
240	* TheComicallySerious: She doesn't show a lot of emotion, at least early on, but definitely has some humour. Most of her comedic scenes come from her lack of reaction to Yūichi's sarcastic comments and jokes.
241	* DefrostingIceQueen: She seems cold at first, but shows more emotion as time goes on.
242	* DemonSlaying: She comes to the school at night to fight demons. [[spoiler:They are actually a result of the repression of her powers.]]
243	* EmotionlessGirl: Of the variant where they just don't know how to express themselves. She doesn't react much, but it's clear that she's feeling something.
244	* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:Yūichi knew Mai when they were younger, when he visited the town during summer break. They used to play in the wheat fields where the school is now, and he became her OnlyFriend (she was new in town, due to being driven out of the previous town with her mother because of her powers). When he eventually had to leave to return home, Mai believed he abandoned her.]]
245	* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:After Sayuri get attacked by demons. Yūichi snaps her out of it.]]
246	* HeterosexualLifePartners: She definitely has feelings for Yūichi, but the person closest to her is her best friend Sayuri. Mai clearly cares about Sayuri just as much as she does for Yūichi.
247	* HighClassGloves: Part of her formal outfit at the dance festival is a pair of opera gloves, adding to her elegance.
248	* InterruptedSuicide: [[spoiler:After Sayuri is attacked by a demon while bringing her a birthday present one night. After Sayuri's brought to the hospital, Mai goes on another rampage and trashes everything that happens to be nearby before she tries to stab herself. Yūichi stops her this time and convinces her to defeat the remaining demons that night, which she agrees to.]]
249	* KindlyVet: Her dream to become a vet is one of the biggest signs of the warm heart she hides beneath her cold exterior.
250	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUugdVVQ0Jo Girls' Prison]], a tranquilly moody piece reflective of the demon hunter.
251	* MagicSkirt: Whether she fights in a dress or a skirt, she doesn’t have any PantyShot scenes.
252	* MartyrWithoutACause: In addition to being a demon-killing badass, she's also incredibly selfless. Hell, she was willing to ''let a dog try and eat her hand'' after it was attacking people because she had nothing to feed the thing.
253	* MasterSwordswoman: When she hunts demons, she wields a sword and is very skilled with it.
254	* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: She has been branded a [[JapaneseDelinquents delinquent]] by most of the students and the staff at the school due to her quiet attitude and being perceived as responsible for damage of the school property at night. Once Yūichi gets to know her, though, he finds out she's completely different from what everyone else thinks.
255	* NoSocialSkills: She seems to lack both the ability to act friendly or sociable. Goes with the territory of being an EmotionlessGirl. However, Sayuri seems to put up with it.
256	* NotSoStoic: She is very much TheStoic at first, and seems pretty much emotionless up until the middle of her story arc. Sayuri gets attacked when Mai is not around, and Mai's reaction to this is [[TearJerker absolutely heart-wrenching]]. She [[spoiler:first collapses in shock at the sight of the wounded Sayuri. Once Sayuri is admitted to the hospital, Mai then tries to kill herself, feeling guilty for not having been able to protect her friend. When her suicide attempt is foiled by Yūichi, she breaks down into tears.]]
257	* OddFriendship: She and Sayuri couldn't be more different, yet they're inseparable and close like sisters.
258	* OracularUrchin: She's very mysterious and knows more about the weird supernatural stuff that's been going on around town than anyone else, though she only ever offers very vague hints or cryptic advice about anything.
259	* TheQuietOne: She doesn't speak unless she has to.
260	* SheCleansUpNicely: When she wears a dress at the dance festival, she looks radiant, very much like a lady instead of the violent delinquent others think she is.
261	* TheStoic: Given her calm, uncommunicative behavior, she doesn't show strong emotions and is very stone-faced at first.
262	* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's extremely calm and stoic, coming across as emotionless. Deep down, though, she's a very nice girl who cares very much for those close to her and wants to be a KindlyVet.
263	* SwissArmyTears: Played for heavy drama. [[spoiler:Her tears have healing powers, but when she used them to save her mother's life when she was little, after making her briefly famous and revered, she was persecuted and driven out of town for it, causing her and her mother to move to the town where the series is set. The repression of her powers created the demons, and it's only by embracing her powers that she is saved and the demons disappear.]]
264	* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Yūichi is disbelieving when he learns Mai wants to become a vet, so she whacks him with the veterinary book she's reading.
265	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Sayuri's Girly Girl. Mai is the stoic and tough demon hunter, while Sayuri is the sweet and delicate {{Ojou}}.
266	* TomboyishPonytail: She wears a ponytail and is a capable fighter.
267	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's a demon hunter with an aloof personality, but she dreams of becoming a vet and enjoys dressing up when Yūichi takes her to the dance festival.
268	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She loves beef bowls.
269	* TsurimeEyes: Other than Kaori, she's the only one drawn with 'em, the rest have all TaremeEyes.
270	* WhenSheSmiles: When she's happy, her smile really shows it.
271	* YourMindMakesItReal: [[spoiler:Years ago, she tried to make Yūichi stay by claiming demons were attacking the field in which they used to play (which was being demolished to make way for the school), but it didn't work. Because of feeling abandoned and repressing her powers, Mai subconsciously made the "demons" become real.]]

278	[[quoteright:203:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minase_akiko_2006_anime.png]]
279
280	Akiko Minase is Nayuki's ([[StrongFamilyResemblance nearly identical]]) mother and Yūichi's aunt, whom he is staying with while he's in town. She lets Makoto and, later, Ayu, [[OpenMindedParent stay there as long as they like and pretty much gives them free reign of the house]]. She also seems to have a pretty good idea what's going on even when Yūichi does not. [[NiceGirl She is a very kind and caring person]], and is very maternal.
281	----
282	* CoolAunt: She's Yūichi's maternal aunt and his guardian for the series, so she has to be this. And it's clear he loves her a lot.
283	* CordonBleughChef: Her cooking is mostly excellent, but when it comes to making jam, she gets [[GargleBlaster a little too creative]].
284	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and blue eyes, just like her daughter.
285	* FriendToAllChildren: ''Unconditionally'' kind to any and ''all'' children, and will unhesitantly adopt ''any'' homeless child seeking love and shelter.
286	* GoodParents: Loves her daughter and nephew equally and looks after them as well as their friends.
287	* HairIntakes: Her hair has two "cat ears" just like her daughter.
288	* HaremNanny: She takes in some of Yūichi's haremettes and looks after them as if they were part of her family.
289	* ItSeemedTrivial: She knew about [[spoiler:Ayu's condition]] from the beginning, but refrained from saying anything, assuming that [[spoiler:she had recovered from her coma]].
290	* LookBothWays: [[spoiler:She is hit by a car near the end of the series, and this causes Nayuki to have a [[HeroicBSOD complete breakdown]]. Though she survives, and it wasn't really her fault (blame the driver or the condition of the roads due to the weather).]]
291	* MotherlySidePlait: Wears her hair in a braid over her shoulder, fitting with her role as Nayuki's mother and her generally motherly nature.
292	* MumLooksLikeASister: Akiko doesn't look that much older than her daughter.
293	* NiceGirl: She's very maternal, and is usually calm and gentle. Actually, she's ''always'' calm and gentle, even when it would be justified for her not to be. Another thing her daughter [[SharedFamilyQuirks seems to have inherited from her.]]
294	* OpenMindedParent: She has no problem with taking in "strays", and seems unusually accepting of the idea of girls she barely knows staying at her house. She also takes Yūichi's word for it when he explains the truth about Makoto. And there was that time when, after Makoto's firework prank backfired on her, she came to investigate the noise and, rather than get angry, she asked if Makoto wanted to play with fireworks.
295	* ParentalSubstitute: Let's just say that if you're homeless girl who needs a roof over her head and 3 square meals a day, just ask and you'll have an instant family of your own, no background check of your shady past needed. She goes as far as to say "Come play with Mommy" to Makoto [[spoiler:as the latter begins to lose her memories]].
296	* SecretSecretKeeper: She knew about the fox Yūichi cared for as a child, even though he thought he hid it well.
297	* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:She recovers from her car accident surprisingly quickly, due to Ayu's wish.]]
298	* UnflappableGuardian: She approves the presence of any haremettes in her home, much to Yūichi's initial disbelief. However, there are several things that she knows or is capable to notice.
299	* YamatoNadeshiko: She's a Japanese mother who is always calm and gentle, and though assertive, she never raises her voice in anger.

305	[[quoteright:224:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kurata_sayuri_2006_anime.png]]
306
307	Mai's best friend (with whom she has a fair amount of LesYay), Sayuri is a [[StepfordSmiler seemingly cheerful]] girl with an odd habit of [[ThirdPersonPerson referring to herself in the third person]]. Her family is rather wealthy. She is also referred to as being almost like Mai's older sister.
308	----
309	* AloofBigSister: In her backstory, she was cold and strict towards her little brother because she wanted him to grow up to be a man of high social standing. After his early death, she felt terribly guilty about how she treated him.
310	* BigSisterInstinct: Sayuri looks after Mai much like a kindly older sister would.
311	* BrokenBird: Behind her StepfordSmiler front, Sayuri has her own sorrows due to her issues with the death of her little brother.
312	* BungledSuicide: [[spoiler:In the past, she attempted to commit suicide due to the death of her brother. The game mentions it in more detail, but the anime just shows a scar on her wrist from the failed suicide attempt.]]
313	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's weird in a cheerful way, and comes across as kinda clueless a lot of the time.
314	* CommonalityConnection: Sayuri gets along with Mai so well because both have a painful past.
315	* CoolBigSis: Even though they're the same age, Sayuri behaves like a doting and caring older sister figure to Mai. Makes sense since Sayuri regrets not being kinder towards her actual younger brother before he died.
316	* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: She looks quite frightening when the shine disappears from her eyes.
317	* FeminineWomenCanCook: She's very traditionally feminine, such as being a good cook.
318	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mai. They're best friends and are rarely seen without each other at school, except when Mai is hunting demons.
319	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Mai and Yūichi keep her in the dark about the DemonSlaying. [[spoiler:This unfortunately gets her seriously harmed as she's blissfully unaware to the presence of the demons when trying to surprise Mai on her birthday.]]
320	* MagicWand: She fights with a shape-changing wand in ''VideoGame/EternalFighterZero''.
321	* NiceGirl: Sayuri is very kind, friendly and gentle, being able to easily get along with just about anyone given enough time.
322	* OddFriendship: She and Mai have seemingly diametrically opposed personalities, which causes Yūichi to remark that "they sure do make an odd couple of girls". They're still the best of friends and are as close as sisters.
323	* {{Ojou}}: She's the daughter of a wealthy family.
324	* OnlyFriend: Sayuri is Mai's only friend, since the latter's reputation as a delinquent isolates her at school.
325	* ScarsAreForever: She has a scar on her wrist is (briefly) visible in episode 14 of the Creator/KyoAni adaptation.
326	* SignatureLaugh: Whenever she laughs, she clearly voices "Ahaha!".
327	* SilkHidingSteel: She's a NiceGirl who uses formal honorfics with her friends. The steel is her loyalty to Mai.
328	* StepfordSmiler: While she is genuinely a NiceGirl, she hides a lot of personal issues that stemmed from her childhood.
329	* ThirdPersonPerson: Following her brother's death, Sayuri started addressing herself in the third person.
330	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Mai's Tomboy. Sayuri is the sweet and delicate {{Ojou}}, while Mai is the stoic and tough demon hunter.
331	* TookALevelInKindness: Before the series, she was an AloofBigSister. After her brother's death, she warmed up gradually.
332	* UnwittingMuggleFriend: Despite being her OnlyFriend, Mai hasn't told Sayuri anything about the demons at school and the fact that she goes to hunt them at night, as she doesn't want to get Sayuri involved in anything dangerous.
333	* VerbalTic: She exclaims "Hoe!" when surprised.

340
341	Kaori Misaka is Nayuki's best friend and the object of Kitagawa's unrequited romantic interest ([[ButtMonkey she mostly laughs at him, ignores him or makes him do heavy lifting for her]]). She seems to be fairly well-adjusted (if somewhat [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] and maybe a bit no-nonsense), but she has some fairly serious family issues that eventually come up. She's also the [[ClassRepresentative rep]] for Nayuki and Yūichi's class at school. She is sometimes seen staring wistfully out the window of the school.
342	----
343	* AloofBigSister: [[spoiler:She is Shiori's sister, but she refuses to acknowledge her existence to avoid the pain of her loss. Not that it works. She acknowledges her sister's existence again by the end, though.]]
344	%%* BetaCouple: With Kitagawa in the Toei version.
345	* ClassRepresentative: Of Yūichi and Nayuki's class.
346	* DeadpanSnarker: The only girl [[spoiler:other than her sister]] who occasionally replies to Yūichi's snarking with some of her own.
347	** Example:
348	-->'''Yūichi''': As I turned around, Misaka Kaori was standing there.
349	-->'''Kaori''': [[LampshadeHanging What are you giving a narration for]]?
350	* DefrostingIceQueen: With regards to [[spoiler:her sister]], arguably. Possibly regarding Kitagawa, as well, since they do get together in the Toei version, and it's always possible in the Creator/KyoAni version and the VN as well, though [[HookedUpAfterWards it'd have to be after the fact.]] They do bond somewhat near the end of the 2006 version as well during Nayuki's arc, when [[spoiler:Nayuki is still suffering from her HeroicBSOD due to Akiko's accident and they both show up to try and comfort her]].
351	* FamilyThemeNaming: Kaori and her younger sister [[spoiler:Shiori]] have similar names.
352	* HairIntakes: Like Nayuki, her hair resemblances cat ears.
353	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's aloof and stubborn, but still a good person underneath it all.
354	* MistressAndServantBoy: Her relationship with Kitagawa.
355	* QuitYourWhining: She's the one to talk [[spoiler:Nayuki out of her HeroicBSOD, even though that whining wasn't {{Wangst}} exactly, as it was justified by the fact that she'd just had her mother get in an accident]].
356	* StepfordSnarker: [[spoiler: Just like her sister, she’s using her snark to hide her feelings.]]
357	* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Kitagawa in the Toei version.

364
365	The resident ButtMonkey and [[TheChewToy chew toy]] at Yūichi's school, and a friend (of sorts) of Yūichi's. Also has an (unrequited) interest in Kaori, who mostly takes advantage of it to make him do things for her. Is a bit of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, has a fondness for ridiculous clothes, as seen at the ball, and thinks he's a ladies man as well (he isn't).
366	----
367	* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: He's a member, oddly enough.
368	* AscendedExtra: In the visual novel, he isn't romantically interested in Kaori at all, and really only plays into Mai's storyline.
369	%%* BetaCouple: With Kaori in the Toei version.
370	* ButtMonkey: Oh, dear lord. No one takes him seriously.
371	* CasanovaWannabe: He spends most of the series chasing Kaori around (and being taken advantage of by being forced to do her heavy lifting), but he still manages to hit on Sayuri. Kaori comments on it, and he denies it, but still...
372	* TheChewToy: Easily the biggest of the series.
373	* DoggedNiceGuy: He pursues Kaori like with the tenacity of a bloodhound. She views him with amused indifference and sometimes contempt. Significantly different in the 2002 version, where he's less dogged and more restrained in his advances. [[spoiler:Works out better for him, to say the least.]]
374	* HumanPackMule: To Kaori. He helps her out with shopping.
375	* IdiotHair: He has a notorious cowlick and isn't exactly the smartest cookie.
376	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Seems like a bit of an ass, but he does [[spoiler:get Mai out of trouble with the student council (which he's apparently on), finds Ayu's lost item, and shows up to check on Nayuki and Yūichi when he heard about Akiko's accident. He didnt hesitate to call Kaori over too when he needed help snapping Nayuki out of her HeroicBSOD.]]
377	* MistressAndServantBoy: He tends to act as Kaori's servant.
378	* RummageSaleReject: His weird disco outfit that he wears to the dance (and apparently [[HammerSpace carries around with]] [[HyperspaceWardrobe him all the time]]). Kaori summed it up well when she said it was like a train wreck.
379	* StandardHeroReward: Very mild, not completely romantic, partial example. Here's the context: [[spoiler: Kuze, the Student Council president, is trying to get Mai expelled because he thinks Mai deliberately caused trouble at the dance by swinging her sword around. Kitagawa, who is on the council, lies to Kuze and tells him that swinging the sword around was ''Kitagawa's'' idea, since it made such a great "exhibition." This lie saves Mai from expulsion. Kitagawa's reward for helping Yūichi save Mai and not liking to see beautiful faces like Sayuri's sad: Sayuri lets him hold her hands for a few seconds to thank him, causing him to blush at the contact.]]

388	----
389	* DefrostingIceQueen: When she is first introduced she is antisocial and distant. By the end of Makoto's arc, however, she starts to act more natural around both Makoto and Yūichi.
390	* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: In the Toei Version, she doesn't appear until the end of the series.
391	* LonerTurnedFriend: Starts off as antisocial, but eventually befriends Makoto and Yūichi. She is later seen hanging around with some girls, suggesting that she gets over her isolation and unhappiness and now makes friends.

400	The Student Council President, who is apparently intent on expelling Mai (and possibly Sayuri as well, if she continues to associate herself with Mai) from the school.
401	----
402	* DisproportionateRetribution: Trying to get Mai expelled after the ball is pretty extreme, considering [[spoiler:the demons did the damage, not her- she didn't start waving her sword around until ''after'' the windows all broke and tables started flying. Yet he still tries to get her blamed for that, too.]]
403	* {{Jerkass}}: Kuze is every bit petty as he is an asshole.
404	* JerkassHasAPoint: Sort of. [[spoiler:The shocking revelation later on is that the demons Mai's been fighting have all come from Mai herself, due to Mai's inability to accept her healing powers. So Mai technically ''was'' responsible for the demons causing trouble at school and for the windows and glass breaking! No excuse for Kuze jumping to conclusions and trying to get Mai expelled, though, since there's no way Kuze could possibly have known about the demons and what little evidence he had to reach his conclusions didn't conclusively point to Mai as the cause. And he didn't assume Mai somehow "caused" the damage, he concluded that Mai was a delinquent who just went around breaking things for fun, when Mai had repeatedly demonstrated a desire to help others rather than hurt them, such as her behavior towards the wild dog for example.]]
405	* NoFullNameGiven: He's only ever referred to by his surname.
406	* StudentCouncilPresident: He's the president of the student council.

415	Makoto is a young woman who befriended Yūichi when he previously stayed in the City of Snow. Yūichi once had a crush on her as he told a baby fox he was nursing back to health.
416	----
417	* AscendedExtra: While she is seen briefly in flashbacks, she makes a more prominent appearance in the Creator/KyoAni anime.
418	* BigDamnHeroes: Rescues Yūichi from freezing to death.
419	* ColorMotif: Flashbacks depict her wearing a white sundress with a matching hat. Even in present day she still wears white, and just about everything in her condo is white.
420	* EarlyBirdCameo: Can be seen walking pass the cafe Yūichi and Ayu are inside in Episode 6.
421	* GenderBlenderName: As mentioned before, Makoto is a unisex name but more commonly given to boys.
422	* IdenticalStranger: In the 2006 anime, she's basically an older version of the Makoto we're familar with.
423	* LongHairIsFeminine: Still has the long, orange hair. Though she is without the GirlishPigtails.
424	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Her role in the story is merely the girl Yūichi once had a crush on, but her very existence has a huge impact on Makoto's storyline. A connection between the two Makotos is strongly implied in the 2006 anime.
425	* WalkingSpoiler: She's a huge spoiler for Makoto's route, since it's revealed that Makoto's human identity is actually based on someone else's. Not many were expecting her to actually appear in the 2006 anime, either.
