Line #48 Characters/KazeToKiNoUta


1	The character sheet for ''Manga/KazeToKiNoUta''.
2
3	Please be aware that will obviously be '''SPOILERS''' for the entire series. And be warned that since readers/watchers have little familiarity with the series and scanlations are only in the first half of the manga, and readers who haven't read the manga in its entirety, it's best not to look at the spoilers in this character sheet.

7	[[folder:Serge Battour]]
8	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KKUSerge1_1484.png]]
9	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/NorikoOhara
10	* TheAce: Serge is smart, athletic, good looking and, among other things, a musical prodigy and an excellent equestrian.
11	%%* AdorablyPrecociousChild: When he's younger.
12	%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: Serge can have quite a temper, and may God help you if you hit his BerserkButton.
13	%%* BlueBlood
14	%%* BrokenAce: After [[spoiler:Gilbert's death]].
15	%%* ChickMagnet
16	%%* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Most notably [[spoiler:following Gilbert's death]], but he has them on couple of occasions before then as well.
17	%%* GentlemanAndAScholar
18	%%* HairTriggerTemper
19	%%* HeartwarmingOrphan
20	* InformedAttribute: Descriptions of his coloring are often at odds with his colour pictures and anime appearance. Early in the manga, he is described as having black hair, 'the same grey eyes as his father' and dark skin (which is actually noted numerous times in the story), yet most of the artwork makes him brown-haired, brown-eyed and lightly tanned at most. The anime and later artwork get the dark skin, but keep the brown hair and eyes.
21	%%* LonelyRichKid
22	%%* NaiveNewcomer
23	%%* NewTransferStudent
24	%%* NiceGuy: [[BewareTheNiceOnes Most of the time]].
25	%%* SonOfAWhore
26	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His surname has been given a ton of different transliterations: Battour, Battouille, Bateaure... the list goes on.
27	%%* StepfordSmiler: He's every bit as sweet and friendly as he appears to be, but there is more to him than he lets on.
28	%%* WhatTheHellHero: Serge gets this quite a few times, especially in the 16th volume.

31	[[folder:Gilbert Cocteau]]
32	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KKUGil0_4874.png]]
33	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/YukoSasaki
34	%%* AllGaysArePromiscuous: This one is, at least.
35	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Pretty much everyone in Laconblade Acedemy hates him.
36	%%* BreakTheCutie
37	%%* BrokenBird
38	%%* ClosetKey: For Serge.
39	* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Gilbert's character design was based on actor Björn Andrésen (of ''Film/MorteAVenezia'' fame).
40	%%* ConditionedToAcceptHorror
41	%%* CorruptTheCutie: ''All'' of his childhood, courtesy of Auguste.
42	* DarkAndTroubledPast: His life has sucked since literally the day he was born ([[spoiler:his mother tried to kill him as an infant]]). Not that his present is much better.
43	%%* DefrostingIceKing
44	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Makes a few attempts at suicide, though none are successful. It speaks volumes that he first tried to drown himself when he was nine.]]
45	%%* DrugsAreBad
46	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Gilbert is mistaken for a girl a couple of times as a child. It's not a difficult mistake to make when he's 9-11 years old and wearing flimsy clothing.
47	%%* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Has these a few times, particularly in volume 15.
48	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: It seems like nearly every male character would be willing to have sex with Gilbert, if they haven't already done so.
49	%%* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Frequently [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]].
50	%%* FriendToAllLivingThings: He was definitely one of these as a young child.
51	* GoodEyesEvilEyes: His eyes remain large and wide throughout his life, although during his childhood, they became rather harsher, more angular and, bizarrely, square with his increasing jadedness and {{jerkass}} tendencies.
52	%%* GoingCommando: Gilbert seems to do this near the start of the manga, once he's got clothes on at all.
53	%%* KillTheCutie
54	%%* LonelyRichKid
55	%%* LonersAreFreaks: The boys at Laconblade all find him fascinating, [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer but not in]] [[LustObject a good way]].
56	* LoveMartyr: Gilbert is clearly completely aware of the fact that Auguste goes out of his way to manipulate and hurt him, yet he is completely devoted to him anyway.
57	%%* ManipulativeBastard
58	%%* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Gilbert had only [[{{Yandere}} Auguste]] as a companion his entire life before he gets dumped off at Laconblade, so given the childhood he had, his only real way of connecting with people that he understands is with sex. Otherwise, he purposely avoids other students, and in turn, they either completely ignore him or bully him.
59	%%* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Creator/JeanCocteau.
60	%%* PromiscuityAfterRape
61	%%* QuestionableConsent: Most sex scenes involving Gilbert have this.
62	* RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler:Gilbert was raped when he was just nine -- first by the pedophile Bonnard, and then by Auguste (who had some twisted motivations, to say the least) not long after that. It's a very big part of what left the boy so messed up.]]
63	%%* ReallyGetsAround
64	%%* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Seemingly the only reason Gilbert hasn't been expelled despite the fact that he rarely goes to classes and engages in a lot of very un-catholic activities with other students.
65	* SexForServices: One of the reasons he hasn't flunked out of school is because he sleeps with classmates in exchange for papers... or just goes straight to the teachers.
66	%%* SexForSolace
67	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Male-male version. Serge's kindness is what makes Gilbert fell for him.
68	%%* SoBeautifulItsACurse
69	%%* SourOutsideSadInside
70	%%* TooKinkyToTorture: For the most part.
71	%%* TraumaCongaLine: Gilbert's life really, really sucks.
72	%%* TroubledButCute
73	%%* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour
74	%%* UsedToBeASweetKid: Arguably still is, on some level.
75	%%* WhenHeSmiles: As Serge comments on very early on in chapter 4.
76	%%* {{Yandere}}: He's pretty possessive of Auguste.
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder:Auguste Beau]]
80	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KKUAugu_5473.png]]
81	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KanetoShiozawa
82	* AbusiveParents:
83	** Gilbert has suffered emotional, physical and sexual abuse by his father (who poses as his uncle) Auguste. He first uses Gilbert to be "his pet" and later turns him to a "pure and artistic" individual by the way of neglect and manipulating his love for him.
84	** [[spoiler:While his own adoptive parents were not quite actively abusive, they do appear to have willfully overlooked the abuse he suffered at the hands of his brother.]]
85	%%* TheChessmaster
86	%%* DarkAndTroubledPast
87	%%* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Arguably a large part of his motivation.
88	%%* EvilUncle
89	* FauxAffablyEvil: He seemed friendly and supportive for Serge until Serge learned his [[ManipulativeBastard true nature]].
90	%%* FreudianExcuse
91	%%* GoodEyesEvilEyes: His eyes are very narrow and evil-looking.
92	%%* GoodScarsEvilScars: The burn on his torso, which was the ''other'' result of his affair with Anne-Marie.
93	%%* TheHedonist: Doesn’t live by this philosophy himself, but [[CorruptTheCutie strives to instill it in Gilbert]].
94	* InSeriesNickname: Gilbert calls him "Augu", and the man himself later encourages Serge to use the nickname as well (which, needless to say, [[{{Yandere}} doesn't sit well with Gilbert]]).
95	%%* KickTheDog: Just about everything he does, and then some.
96	%%* ManipulativeBastard: And how.
97	* ParentalIncest: [[spoiler:He is actually Gilbert's father, not his uncle. Even after revealing this fact to him, he continues to sexually abuse Gilbert until the boy eventually escapes Lacombrade with Serge.]]
98	%%* SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny
99	* TroubledAbuser: [[spoiler:His brother sexually abused him when he was young]], not that it excuses much of what he does.
100	%%* VillainousIncest
101	%%* WouldHurtAChild: He is a pedophile, so this is a given.
102	%%* {{Yandere}}: Even more so than Gilbert.
103	[[/folder]]
104
105	[[folder:Arion "The White Prince" Rosemariné]]
106	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KKURose_9948.png]]
107	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/YoshikoSakakibara
108	%%* AmbitionIsEvil
109	* AristocratsAreEvil: Subverted. He initially comes across as a self-important bully on an ego-trip (or even TheDragon) but [[HeelFaceTurn becomes far more sympathetic]] as the series progresses and eventually proves to be one of Serge and Gilbert's greatest allies.
110	%%* BrokenAce
111	%%* TheDandy: At least in appearance.
112	* DefrostingIceKing: [[spoiler:He becomes a lot more sympathetic as his more vulnerable side is revealed, and he befriends Serge after a certain point. He eventually proves to be one of Serge ''and'' Gilbert's greatest allies, aiding their escape from Lacombrade when virtually the entire school turns against the pair.]]
113	* TheDragon: He serves as Auguste's eyes and ears in the school, partly out of fear and partly out of self-interest.
114	%%* DudeLooksLikeALady: Easily the most feminine looking male character in the story.
115	%%* GentlemanSnarker
116	* HatesBeingTouched: The only person he ''doesn't'' mind being touched by is Jules [[spoiler:and Serge, later on]].
117	%%* HeelFaceTurn
118	%%* {{Jerkass}}: Especially towards Gilbert.
119	%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy
120	%%* ManipulativeBastard
121	%%* OjouRinglets: Yes, even though he's male.
122	%%* ParalyzingFearOfSexuality
123	* RapeAsBackstory: [[spoiler:Auguste raped him a few years before the story begins.]]
124	* SingleIssuePsychology: Just about all his issues can be traced back to a single event in his past: [[spoiler:his rape by Auguste]].
125	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is his first name Arion, Aryon or Ariona, and should his surname be Rosemariné (accent or no), Rosmariné (ditto), Rosemarinay...?
126	%%* SpoiledBrat: As a child.
127	%%* StudentCouncilPresident: He is Student Superintendent, but either way, he's pretty much an entire AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil in and of himself.
128	* ATasteOfTheLash: He's rather fond of canes and riding crops; according to Takemiya's side notes, he owns ''seventeen'' different whips!
129	* TechnicolorEyes: He has purple eyes without sclerae in the OVA. Although a dialogue in the epilogue confirms that they're purple in the manga as well, he appears on a single manga cover with eyes that appear to be green.
130	%%* WineIsClassy
131	%%* {{Workaholic}}

134	[[folder:Pascal Biquet]]
135	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KKUPascal_5503.png]]
136	* BrilliantButLazy: He's been [[HeldBackInSchool held back for three years]], though he's actually quite intelligent and interested in science; he just doesn't care for the school system.
137	* HeldBackInSchool: He's been held back for three years, not because he's not intelligent, but because he doesn't care for classical education. [[spoiler:He finally moves up a grade in volume 12.]]
138	%%* MadScientist
139	%%* NerdGlasses
140	%%* PermaStubble: Possibly to emphasize that he's a few years older than his classmates.
141	%%* OddFriendship: With Karl.
142	%%* RedOniBlueOni: Red.
143	%%* ShipperOnDeck: He seems quite fond of the idea of Serge/Patricia.
144	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His first name has been spelt as Pascale (which is actually a girls' name, funnily enough) while his surname has been romanised as Biket.
145	%%* TeenGenius
146	[[/folder]]
147
148	%%[[folder:Patricia "Pat" Biquet]]
149	%%[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/KKUPat_9714.png]]
150	%%* BeautifulAllAlong: Although not only was she not really that bad-looking to begin with, but Pascal insists that she was plenty beautiful enough already.
151	%%* TheGlassesGottaGo
152	%%* OjouRinglets: Sometimes has these when she dresses up.
153	%%* PurelyAestheticGlasses
154	%%* RomanticRunnerUp

162	%%* OddFriendship: With Pascal.

165	[[/folder]]
166
167	[[folder:Kurt Stachler]]
168	%%* ArmouredClosetGay: Openly homophobic in the beginning, ends up crushing on Serge
169	%%* FatAndSkinny: With Nekka
170	* NewFriendEnvy: He's constantly jealous of Serge and his friendship [[spoiler:and eventual relationship]] with Gilbert
171	* PluckyComicRelief: Kurt acts as this along with Nekka
172	* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "You're crazy about that dirty f*ggot!"
173	[[/folder]]
174
175	[[folder:Abraham Necroix]]
176	%%* FatAndSkinny: With Kurt
177	* InSeriesNickname: Nekka
178	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Nekka, Neka, Necker, or just plain Necroix?

181
182	[[folder:Sebastien Meiser]]
183	%%* AdorablyPrecociousChild
184	* DemotedToExtra: He only showed up twice in the OVA and didn't get to do much.
185	* SiblingYinYang: Unlike his big brother, he's very bold and outgoing. Karl himself notes that the two were raised very differently.
186	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Sebastien or Sebastian? He also has the same surname trouble as Karl.
187	%%* TagalongKid

192	%%* {{Bookworm}}
193	%%* BrilliantButLazy
194	* DisappearedDad: His father died from illness when he was quite young, which led to his family becoming much poorer.
195	* FashionableAsymmetry: A chunk of his hair is shorter on one side. [[RuleOfCool It's never explained why.]]
196	* GangOfBullies: The leader of one several years back, or so rumors say. [[ZeroApprovalGambit In reality, things were more complicated than that.]]
197	* GoldDigger: [[spoiler:When it comes to his fiancée in ''Dove of Happiness''. "What I don't have is money, what she doesn't have is pedigree... It's a good connection."]]
198	%%* ImpoverishedPatrician
199	%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy
200	%%* MommasBoy: Portrayed more or less in a positive light.
