13TheProtagonist of the story, a Japoness inhabitant who awakens the titular Saber Marionettes, each one in the first, third and fifth episode.
14----
15* AbortedArc: Otaru's backstory strongly implying him to be related to Shogun Ieyasu is teased in the very first episode (complete with a flashback) but is quickly dropped.
16* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: After the successful invasion of Gartland, Otaru is considered a hero, not just in Japoness but also the other city-states. His newfound fame starts to go to his head and [[InWithTheInCrowd makes him too busy to return home and spend time with Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry]]. When they tried to spend time with him, they were prevented from even seeing him. He later realized he was being a complete {{Jerkass}}.
17* AnimeHair: Classic 90's style.
18* BadassNormal: Not as powerful or skilled as his Marionettes but he is no pushover in combat.
19* ChasteHero: Otaru has affection for his three marionettes, but he doesn't seem to have a good grasp on romance and sexuality. He rarely reacts to Cherry's and Bloodberry's most aggressive advances, to the point Otaru's answer to Bloodberry asking him to marry her is ''asking what marriage is''.
20* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has matching brown hair and brown eyes.
21* DubNameChange: Otaru's last name was changed to Namiya in the Mexican Spanish dub due to an unfortunate innuendo involving the character's name.
22* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Hanagata loves him, as does Bloodberry, Cherry, and Lime.
23* HeroesPreferSwords: Or in his case, it's a [[OddlyShapedSword jitte]] - a weapon commonly used by security and law enforcement.
24* IdiotHero: Shows shades of this when he agrees to invade Gartlant with his marionettes for fame and ''candy with prizes of his likeness''.
25-->'''Otaru:''' I'm a sucker for candy with prizes!
26* JackOfAllTrades: Otaru learns multiple skills from the many odd jobs he does [[OnceAnEpisode every episode]] [[spoiler:, including how to repair his marionettes when they start to break down after the Sabbelberg incident.]]
27* KissOfDistraction: In ''J'', Otaru does this to [[spoiler: Luchs to stop her from rebooting Gartlant's main CPU]].
28* NiceGuy: Very kid, helpful and compassionate.
29* PapaWolf: In the last episode of ''J to X'', [[spoiler:you better don't mess with his daughters]].
30* PerpetualPoverty: Despite his Marionettes' willingness to do anything for him, he never seeks to live it up, and always continues working for his living.
31* WorkingClassHero: The main protagonist of the series is introduced doing many odd jobs. He's introduced as a fish vendor.

34!!Japoness' marionettes
35
36[[folder:In General]]
37* BalancedHarem: They all pursue Otaru's affections, but Otaru equally cares for the three. Deconstructed in ''J to X'', [[spoiler:after Otaru sees how happy they are without him in Xi'an after their minds were forcibly reset. He then proceeds to slowly drive them away from his life, unable to choose one of them as a bride and believing that he denied their freedom. Then they die, are reborn as human babies and Otaru adopts them.]]
38* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Lime is cute, simple-minded and childlike, making her the Beauty. Cherry is sensible, polite and analytical, making her the Brains. Bloodberry is tall, strong and bold, making her the Brawn.
39* BecomeARealBoy: At the end of ''J to X'', [[spoiler:they are reborn as {{Artificial Human}}s and are adopted as Otaru's daughters.]]
40* ColorCodedCharacters: Lime = yellow and blue, Cherry = pink and violet, Bloodberry = red and black.
41* {{Clingy Jealous Girl}}s: The three of them act like this towards Otaru to varying degrees.
42* DubNameChange: Their names are translated into Spanish in the LA dub.
43* EdibleThemeNaming: The marionettes are named after different fruits.
44* FourTemperamentEnsemble: We have the cheerful, childish Lime (Sanguine), the intelligent and refined Cherry (Melancholic), the passionate, brash Bloodberry (Choleric), and the easygoing, kind-hearted Otaru (Phlegmatic).
45* FreudianTrio: Lime is TheEgo; the energetic and innocent of the three, neither too impulsive nor too smart. Cherry is TheSuperego; the most proper and intellectual of the three. Bloodberry is TheId; the most passionate and aggressive of the three.
46* GirlOfMyDreams: Otaru's dreams (implied to be memories from Ieyasu I) with girls that mostly resemble the three marionettes imply that Ieyasu made them at the image of three girls he met in high school.
47* HappilyAdopted: In the finale of ''J to X'', [[spoiler:the three are reborn as humans and raised by Otaru as his daughters]].
48* {{Heart Drive}}s: The maiden circuits. They give the girls the ability to feel emotion and have thought patterns much like human beings. [[spoiler:Without them, they're just ordinary marionettes, as Otaru finds out the hard way with Lime.]]
49* HeroicSacrifice: TWICE, in the ''J'' and ''J to X'' series. [[spoiler: one more lethal than the other.]]
50* {{Magical Girlfriend}}s: Three attractive {{Robot Girl}}s who are accidentally found by the Japoness guy Otaru, fall in love with him and move into his house.
51* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:The three were made to be Lorelei's replacement so the ''Mesopotamia'' could let her go.]]
52* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: All three have the unique ability of autonomy, something that most other marionettes lack, [[spoiler:but their maiden circuits have to reach full maturity to truly understand human emotions]].
53* {{Robot Girl}}s: They are robots who look like pretty young women.
54* ThemedHarem: [[RobotGirl Robot Girls]] named after fruit.
55* TheThreeFacesOfEve: Considering they each contain a third of Lorelei's (Eve's) image and personality, this comes to no surprise.
56** Lime is youthful in appearance, overly cheerful, and a bit dumb at times, making her the child.
57** Cherry is extremely domestic and focused on being proper which causes her to appear more even-tempered and less impulsive than Lime or Bloodberry. Often when the other two are running rough-shod over the show's protagonist she is the one to stop and consider his feelings. She fits the wife archetype in addition to really wanting to be the protagonist's wife.
58** Bloodberry is more shameless than Cherry, and more sexual in her intention. Additionally, she is the only one of the trio with a mature-looking body. She fits the seductress archetype very well.
59* TownGirls: There's the energetic and slightly tomboyish Lime (Neither), the domestic and ladylike Cherry (Femme), and the tough and hot-headed Bloodberry (Butch).

65
66The first marionette awakened by Otaru, Lime's childlike naïveté sets her apart from other marionettes, most of whom can't think for themselves. She, along with Cherry and Bloodberry, loves Otaru, but is far more innocent in her intentions than the other two, which is saying something.
67----

81* HospitalHottie: Became one while suffering amnesia in ''J to X''.
82* TheIngenue: She's purehearted and innocent like a child.

84* TheKirk: To Cherry's [[TheSpock Spock]] and Bloodberry's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]].
85* LargeHam: Yells a lot and is very open about her emotions.
86* LethalChef: She once tries to copy Cherry and cook for Otaru, but all she can make is a pitch-black ''thing'' that still moves.
87* LightningBruiser: She can beat enemies faster than one could blink.
88* LostPetGrievance: Lime got her first experience with life and death after adopting an squirrel as pet. It fell sick and Lime just thought [[WeCanRebuildHim it needed new parts as marionettes do sometimes]]. Otaru explains to her a vital difference between marionettes and living things: living things can die anytime. The squirrel survived though but it was just the beginning.
89* NatureLover: She often spends her time in the forest with woodland critters and she's the first of Otaru's marionettes that cares for another living creature besides Otaru.
90* NeverBareheaded: Once Lime got her signature yellow bandana, she rarely takes it off.
91* OddNameOut: She's the only one of the three Japoness marionettes whose name doesn't end with "erry".

94* SuperSpeed: Her main combat attribute. She's able to easily outrun futuristic cars.

96* TaremeEyes: Her big and droopy eyes reflect her childlike innocence.
97* WaifFu: She's many times stronger than a human despite looking like a slim and unmuscular girl.

104
105Technically the second marionette Otaru awakens (In the manga, she and Bloodberry are awakened simultaneously), Cherry fits the role of a YamatoNadeshiko quite nicely, right down to her impressive cooking. Often fantasizes about her Master Otaru whenever he's around her, mostly sexually.
106----
107* ACupAngst:
108-->'''Lime:''' ''(getting undressed; ItsALongStory)'' What's a baby's body, Cherry?\

113* CustomUniformOfSexy: The [[SensualSpandex rather skintight leotard]] she wore when she was first activated. Lime and Bloodberry's were also whole body suits, but Cherry's was more of a swimsuit with an [[CleavageWindow open patch of nothing in the middle]] and lots of frills.

118* ImagineSpot: She has a lot of these, each one more perverse than the last.
119* InnocentBlueEyes: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. She's blue-eyed and innocent, but not [[CovertPervert naïve]].

121* ParentsForADay: In an episode of ''J to X'', Cherry finds a lost baby clone and decides to keep him for a while until being able to return him. Her maternal instincts start to blossom and she decides to keep the baby, but has to return him to the authorities in order to protect his life.
122* PinkMeansFeminine: The most feminine of Otaru's marionettes is also the one wearing pink clothes.
123* ShorterMeansSmarter: The shortest of Otaru's marionettes (and the shortest marionette character in general) and their resident [[TheSmartGuy Smart Gal]].

125* TheSmartGirl: The only of Otaru's marionettes that has analytical and scanning abilities.

128* TeamChef: She cooks for Otaru and her fellow marionettes at home.

139The last (and certainly the most powerful) marionette Otaru awakens, Bloodberry openly makes advances to Otaru and uses her charm to win him over. She's physically the oldest of Otaru's marionettes, filling in the role of a parental figure to Lime and Cherry. Unlike Cherry, she openly comes on to Otaru.

141* ActionGirl: The most combat proficient of Otaru's marionette.

154* MarshmallowHell: Tends to do this to Otaru every chance she gets.
155* MartialArtsHeadband: She sports a headband to show her status as the strongest physical fighter of the main group.
156* MsFanservice: Otaru's marionette with the most "adult" proportions whose outfit has a CleavageWindow. In ''J to X'' she's dressed in an off-shoulder [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]] with StockingFiller during her stint as a circus performer.

177* BigBad: He is the main antagonist of the series, [[spoiler:or so it seems]]...
178* BrainUploading: Each Faust downloads his memories into his child-clone upon his death, including his obsessive ambitions.

It eventually led to a competition with the [[HeelFaceTurn REAL]] Faust and the clone.]]
179* CharacterDevelopment: He starts as the BigBad, [[spoiler:evolves into a WellIntentionedExtremist near the end of the series]], and [[spoiler:has a HeelFaceTurn]] in the end of ''J''. By the time of ''J Again'' and ''J To X'', he's [[spoiler:in the good side]].

189* WalkingTheEarth: [[spoiler: What he does at the end of the series.]]
190%%* WellIntentionedExtremist
191* YouHaveFailedMe: A lot of times towards his Saber Dolls.

194!!Gartland's marionettes
195
196[[folder:In General]]
197* AnimalThemeNaming: They're named after [[PantheraAwesome big cats]].
198* BadassInANiceSuit: They all wear suits of some sort.
199* BaitAndSwitchCredits: The OBB of ''J'' builds Tiger as Lime's rival, and Panther being Bloodberry's. While there are interactions with said characters in the show, most of their bouts happened with the other's designated rival. [[spoiler:Hell, Tiger's fateful battle before she was broken was with Bloodberry rather than Lime. The designated bouts finally happened, albeit briefly, in ''J to X'' when the Saberdolls wrongfully followed an evil clone of Faust in pursuing his TakeOverTheWorld plan.]]
200* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: They're Faust's female minions and wears outfits that show off the midriff.
201* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Tiger is the redhead, Luchs has blue hair which sort of makes her count as the brunette and Panther is the blonde.
202* BodyguardBabes: They work as Faust's personal bodyguards and they're all attractive women in skimpy outfits.
203* BodyguardCrush: They all love Faust to a fault.
204* CriminalAmnesiac: Inverted in the manga for a while, where they re-imprint on Otaru when he repairs them after a plasma lightning strike, and are generally [[AmnesiacsAreInnocent innocent]].
205* DubNameChange: Same as their counterparts, their names are translated into Spanish in the LA dub.
206* EvilCounterpart: They directly oppose Japoness' marionettes and each one has characteristics that parallel of the other marionettes (Tiger for Lime, Luchs for Cherry, Panther for Bloodberry). Their purpose is to be an antagonistic version of Otaru's marionettes under the service of the BigBad.
207* FemmeFatalons: The three have long and sharp nails to give them a villainous look compared to the heroic marionettes.
208* FreudianTrio: Tiger, the tenacious and emotionally subservient leader, is TheEgo. Luchs, the intelligent and accomplished strategist, is TheSuperego. Panther, the loud and vicious fighter, is TheId.
209* {{Heart Drive}}s: The same as Japoness' marionettes, their AI is focused around their Maiden Circuits.
210* HeelFaceTurn: They decide to reform after realizing Faust's corruption.
211* {{Love Martyr}}s: They all are devotedly in love with Faust despite him being so cruel and the fact that he treats them as mere tools. In some of the audio dramas where Faust has them ReassignedToAntarctica, the random subordinate commanding them only has to imitate Faust's voice using a [[VoiceChangeling voice changer]] to make the Dolls obey despite themselves.
212* ThePsychoRangers: Each one mirrors their Japoness counterparts' strengths, but start out knowing more advanced combat skills.
213* {{Robot Girl}}s: They're marionettes that look and act like young women.
214* ShadowArchetype: They serve as this to the three main marionette trio. They're basically what Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry would be if they were in love with a cruel and unloving governor instead of the kind-hearted and caring Otaru. This is very relevant as the reason why the maiden circuits of Faust's marionettes never matured was because Faust didn't show his marionettes the love and compassion needed for them to emotionally develop.
215* StatuesqueStunner: The Saberdolls are around Bloodberry's height and are noted beautiful {{Robot Girl}}s.
216* VehicularThemeNaming: Tiger, Luchs, and Panther are all names of German tanks.
217* TownGirls: Tiger is the Neither; not too feminine yet not too tomboyish. Luchs is the Femme; the most stylish of the three and the only one wearing a skirt. Panther is the Butch; the toughest and most vicious of the three.
218* TsurimeEyes: Their sharp and narrow eyes give them aggressive and intimidating expressions.
219* ZerothLawRebellion: Near the end of the original series, Luchs and Panther have developed enough that they're willing to directly refuse Faust's orders to his face in order to save him from a plan that's about to blow up in his face -- even when he threatens them again for disobeying him.[[note]]Arguably a ''First Law'' rebellion, but who's counting?[[/note]]

226
227One of Faust's Saber Dolls, Tiger takes the role of leadership among the three Dolls, but not always. Just like how Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry love Otaru, she deeply cares for Faust and does everything she can to please him, disregarding his abusive tendencies.

239* SciFiBobHaircut: A marionette sporting a bob.
240* TheOphelia: [[spoiler:Her maiden circuit brokes and her memories got damage until the point she just remembers her time with child Faust.]]

250----
251* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Her analytical skills are on pair with Cherry's.

[[spoiler: She later adopts this persona when she becomes a news reporter at the end of ''J to X''.]]
258* LethalChef: Has a habit of using gunpowder as condiments.
259* MsFanservice: Her original outfit is a very short SexySlitDress that gives her plenty of LegFocus.

260* NerdsAreSexy: Is quite intelligent and proud of her sex appeal.

272
273The most powerful of Faust's Saber Dolls, Panther uses her innate physical strength to pummel anyone who dares to defy Faust's reign. She's not the smartest or most patient of the three Dolls, but shows competency in what she does. She sees Bloodberry as a WorthyOpponent.

279* TheBrute: She's the tough muscle of the villain time.
280* DubNameChange: Panta in Latin America.

282* EyepatchOfPower: To hide her eye that shoots [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]]. It also allows that eye to see through wall and shoot whoever she aims at.
283* FriendlyRivalry: With Bloodberry in ''J Again''. Now that they're not enemies anymore, their rivalry is notably more light-hearted and they seem to get along well.
284* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She never loses her rough attitude, but she becomes able to show a softer side of herself after her HeelFaceTurn.
285* TheLadette: She's very tough, and loves to fight and drink liquor.
286* LargeHam: She has a loud and exhuberant personality.
287* StrawFeminist: Character trait added in the Creator/{{Tokyopop}} [[{{Macekre}} adaptation]] of the manga.
288* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: J Again reveals she loves poetry, and one of the things she's angry with Marine for stealing is a notebook full of poems she wrote.

297
298The ButtMonkey of the series, he's the son of a wealthy man, but decides to move next door to Otaru. At first, he's a {{Jerkass}} to Otaru and berates his hardworking lifestyle, but later becomes obsessed with him. He also helps Otaru and the Marionettes several times with his vast knowledge about Terra II, its history and cultures.
299----
300* AbhorrentAdmirer: Otaru can't stand his obnoxious personality and his obvious romantic interest creeps him out.
301* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Mitsurugi was more of a {{jerkass}} in the manga than in the anime.
302* AmusingInjuries: ''All'' the time. He falls from impossible heights and such.
303--> '''Hanagata:''' ''I've heard ''everything'' Otaru.''
304--> '''Otaru:''' ''[[LampshadeHanging Shouldn't you be dead or something, Hanagata?]]''
305* ButtMonkey: He is never safe from any time of abuse.
306* CampGay: He is filthy rich, pretty delicate-looking, and always fantasizes about having a relationship with Otaru.
307* CharacterCatchphrase: In the Latin American Spanish dub:
308--> ''" ¿Por qué esto me pasa si soy tan bueno?"'' (Why does this always happen to me if [[BlatantLies I'm such a nice guy?]])
309* CrazyJealousGuy: He gets jealous of the marionettes whenever he sees them all over Otaru.
310* DreadfulMusician: Subverted. He's not actually that bad of a musician, but the neighborhood does not appreciate that he starts playing and singing ''in the middle of the night''.
311* DropInCharacter: He lives next door to Otaru and often comes to Otaru's house uninvited.
312* DumbBlond: He has his HiddenDepths, but still his idiotic behavior pisses off the ''elite'' marionettes a lot.
313* EffeminateVoice: In the Latin American Spanish dub, he speaks with a grossly effeminate voice.
314* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to Yumenji's responsible. Note that Yumeji isn't even 10.
315* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Otaru and Marionettes barely tolerate his annoyances.
316* HandwrapsOfAwesome: He wears green ones around his wrists.
317* HiddenDepths: Despite his flamboyant and nonserious nature, he has good knowledge of Terra II.
318* IncompatibleOrientation: He's very much gay for Otaru, who has no attraction for men.
319* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be a jerk to Otaru and the marionettes, but he does care for them to the point that he considers Otaru his closest friend.
320* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: An episode of ''J to X'' has his father coming to visit, and the two couldn't be any more different from each other: Hanagata is blond, thin, effeminate and a ButtMonkey, while his dad is dark-haired, muscular, imposing and (from what we know) pretty successful on everything he does.
321* MeaningfulName: His last name, ''Hanagata'' sounds a lot like ''onnagata'', a type of Kabuki actor who normally plays ''female roles.'' Given Hanagata's [[CampGay personality]], it really fits well.
322* MostWritersAreWriters: [[spoiler: At the end of the series, he goes on to become a famous author.]]
323* PerpetualPoverty: Subverted in that he's not poor; he's the son of one of the richest men on the planet, but he chooses to live next to Otaru.
324* RichBastard: Before some much needed CharacterDevelopment, he's a self-centered and haughty rich jerk.
325* SomethingAboutARose: He loves looking poetic with a rose, unfortunately for him is he a bad poet.
326* StalkerWithACrush: He frequently breaks into Otaru's house to hang out with him, even though no one in the house likes him.
327* TooDumbToLive: You'd think he'd learn not to insult marionettes who are capable of breaking him in two (and have).
328* ATwinkleInTheSky: Given the above entries, this happens to him on a semi-regular basis.
329* UngratefulBastard: Lime saved his little brother from a fire in the second episode, yet he didn't even say thanks.

412A woman only known through a painting of her in the Japoness pioneers museum. Her painting serves as a reminder of "The human female", a gender which does not exist on Terra II.
413
414The seventh survivor of the ''Mesopotamia'' incident, Lorelei was locked inside the orbiting ship for roughly 300 years because the A.I. program she invented fell in love with her. Once she's saved from her suspended animation, she resides in Japoness to serve as the city-state's new ruler. Her wisdom allows her to fill the vacant spot of Shogun Ieyasu quite nicely, but she longs to go out and explore Terra II in spite of the Imperial Guards' protection of her.
415----
416* AdaptationalHeroism: Her anime counterpart is a far cry from her light novel incarnation, who acts as the BarrierMaiden and ApocalypseMaiden for the human race.
417* CrystalPrison: The ''Mesopotamia'' kept her in a cold slumber while encaged in crystal.
418* DamselInDistress: The ''Mesopotamia'' kept her in suspended animation for centuries because [[LoveMakesYouEvil it fell in love with her.]]
419* DeathSeeker: Briefly in the first ''J Again'' OVA. She walks atop a mountain during an electric storm, and has to be saved from being struck by a lightning. She later explains that she wasn't planning to die, and just wanted to be "judged" for her sins (as she felt she was playing God with the female clone project).
420* GildedCage: After her rescue, she's kept under heavy security, not just as the last female of Terra II but also as Japoness' new ruler; she would prefer to go outside the castle and explore Terra II than stay in the castle.
421* HerosMuse: Otaru sees her painting multiple times and is always intrigued by the concept of a human woman.
422* LastOfHerKind: The last female human in all Terra II. [[spoiler:Until the rebirth of Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry as humans.]]
423* LivingMacguffin: As the last female human, her DNA is needed to repopulate the human females on Terra II.

425* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: At the end of ''J'', she confesses to Otaru that Ieyasu and she never thought of the pain it would cause to [[spoiler:the one that would nurture the Maiden Circuits to maturity only to lose them when they completed their job with the Mesopotamia A.I.]]... of course, that gets fixed following the show credits.
426* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She was the original creator and designer of an A.I. that would become the predecessor to the maiden circuits, but said A.I. became evil [[spoiler:because it fell in love with her and wanted to have her for itself]], setting the plot of ''J'' in motion.
427* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As new ruler of Japoness after Shogun Ieyasu's death.
428* StepfordSmiler: Has to maintain a strong and sunny face towards Japoness despite her being quite sad inside.

However, Marine is mysteriously more powerful than the other marionettes living with Otaru, and her past inevitably catches up with her...
437----
438* AllYourPowersCombined: Marine is actually built using three Maiden Circuits running in sync, and is visibly more powerful than the other Saber Marionettes or Saber Dolls. Unfortunately, the design isn't perfect.
439* AmbiguouslyBrown: Marine has a dark skin tone compared to the other characters. Leaving aside the fact that she's a RobotGirl, there are no obvious indications of her race or ethnicity.
440* BaitAndSwitchLesbians: Her maiden circuit(s) as well as her attachment to Lime imply a more romantic connection between the two, but her true case of LoveAtFirstSight was with the ocean -- because she awoke underwater.
441* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and blue eyes.
442* DoesNotLikeMen: Marine is visibly uncomfortable around Otaru and other men.
443* DubNameChange: She's renamed "Marina" in the Latin American Spanish dub.
