8	----
9	[[foldercontrol]]
10
11	[[folder: Tiara]]
12	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/SayuriYamauchi (Japanese), Tara Sands (English)
13	----
14	* BeingGoodSucks: Her biggest issue is wanting to do the right thing, but what the right thing is keeps changing. She thought she was doing the right thing by trying to retrieve the Throne of Yord, [[spoiler:then it became about saving Sara from the Throne of Yord. The Throne itself calls Tiara out on how she fights people, then allies herself with them.]]
15	* CainAndAbel: With Lena, in the best friends type.
16	* DarkIsNotEvil: She's the hero, but her Geil Eldo Zamath transformation along with the SlasherSmile she deploys makes her look like a villainess you'd find in a more typical magical girl show.
17	* FieryRedhead: Tiara never backs down from a challenge. Why should she? She's stronger than ''everyone''.
18	* HairWings: The Geil Eldo Zamath transformation gives Tiara a pair of blood-red wings that double as her hair.
19	* IdiotHair: Has one, although it doesn't seem to fit her personality. This may be related to the ToneShift the series went through in development. ''Shamanic Princess'' was initially planned as a standard MagicalGirl with a NaiveEverygirl heroine.
20	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tiara knows who the strongest person in the room is. It's her. She doesn't ''have'' to play nice with anyone, and [[TauntButton she's not above letting them know it.]] But underneath, she just wants everyone to be happy. [[spoiler:Sara, or rather the Throne of Yord, puts it best by describing Tiara as "A spoiled brat who just wants everyone to be happy."]]
21	* {{Joshikousei}}: Wears a blue sailor outfit when at school.
22	* MagicalGirlWarrior: Tiara is what happens when you take a CuteWitch and make her a badass while bypassing the super hero element.
23	* MsFanservice: She exhibits a laundry list of RuleOfSexy tropes;
24	** Her usual outfit features CleavageWindow, MagicSkirt and ZettaiRyouiki.
25	** NavelDeepNeckline in her SuperMode form, she gets a neckline that stretches all the way to her crotch.
26	** ClothingDamage -- tasteful, but fun.
27	* PowerDyesYourHair: Her hair goes from fiery red to blood red.
28	* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Tiara's hair is a bit past shoulder length ordinarily but extends almost to the ground in her SuperMode, [[PowerGivesYouWings in a style that's suggestive of wings]].
29	* TheScapegoat: She gracefully accepts punishment for a mistake Graham made on a mission.
30	* ScreamingWarrior: Especially in the English version.
31	* SlasherSmile: She directs one at her rival after completing her first TransformationSequence, made even creepier by her weird eyes. It's one of your first clues that [[DarkerAndEdgier this is not your average]] MagicalGirl anime.
32	* SmugSuper: She's got an ego to match the strength of her abilities.
33	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Her SuperMode form has golden eyes with a black ring in the middle.

36	[[folder: Lena]]
37	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/MitsukiYayoi (Japanese), Suzy Prue (English)
38	----
39	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Lena fits this to a T - she has an air of femininity, maturity and mystery.
40	* BerserkButton: Give her the impression that you're betraying/abandoning your loved ones, and she'll thirst for your blood.
41	* CantCatchUp: Lena knows she will never be as powerful as Tiara, but [[AlwaysSecondBest that doesn't make it any easier to accept]].
42	* DefectorFromDecadence: Lena abandons her mission and sides with Kagetsu when she decides his motives are more noble than the faceless Guardian World elders.
43	** Then again, [[GreyAndGreyMorality everyone has noble motives in this series]].
44	* FashionableAsymmetry: Her SuperMode outfit.
45	* HimeCut: Fitting with both her elegant, mannered nature as well as her competence in battle. She also is given the "princess" title just like Tiara and is held by many in high regard.
46	* LadyOfWar: She looks elegant no matter what she does. It helps that she is a strictly {{long range\|Fighter}} SquishyWizard.
47	* LoveConfessor: Expresses her UnrequitedLove for Kagetsu in a monologue.
48	* MagicMusic: Lena controls her powers by playing her flute. While playing antagonist to Tiara, her use of these powers verges on MusicalAssassin.
49	* ProperLady: Her civilian dress is modest and she's friendlier than Tiara.
50	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her SuperMode outfit [[BodyPaint looks like it was painted on]].
51	* YamatoNadeshiko: Other characters admire her poise, reserve and good taste but she can give Tiara a run for her money in a fight.

53
54	[[folder: Sara]]
55	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/TomoSakurai (Japanese), Mary Anne Towne (English)
56	----
57	* ApocalypseMaiden: In the sense that Kagetsu is risking the integrity of the Guardian World by removing her from the Throne of Yord.
58	* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler: She ascended during the TimeSkip (between eps.6 and eps.1) by merging with the Throne of Yord. It makes her...[[BlueAndOrangeMorality difficult to deal with]].]]
59	* DelicateAndSickly: The nightgown-like dress she's always shown wearing suggests this, and episode 5 confirms that she is indeed an ill girl.
60	* IncorruptiblePurePureness: The first impression she gives is "sweet, innocent DistressedDamsel" [[spoiler:but the series {{subvert\|ed}}s this as it reveals more about the Throne of Yord. If the Throne has darkness in it, then so does Sara.]]
61	* MalevolentMaskedWomen: [[spoiler:The Throne of Yord (or Sara, or some combination of the two) switches forms at one point from a [[EldritchAbomination pile of tentacles]] to]] Sara in a black and red third eye mask.
62	* MysticalWaif: By way of unearthliness, Tiara [[TalkingInYourDreams has cryptic conversations with Sara in her dreams]], and Tiara's decision to save Sara is what transforms the story from "mission" to "adventure".
63	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The subtitles in the CPM release render her name as both Sarah and Sara. Considering that her name is written with [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseWritingSystem kanji]], Sara would be more appropriate.
64	[[/folder]]
65
66	[[folder: Kagetsu]]
67	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KoichiYamadera (Japanese), Creator/CrispinFreeman (English)
68	----
69	* AntiMagic: He is a Neutralizer - his powers nullify magic. A Neutralizer's function is keeping the Throne of Yord pacified. Dialogue implies that Neutralizers are a lower tier in the Guardian World FantasticCasteSystem than magic users like Tiara and Lena.
70	* AntiVillain: Or so we initially assume.
71	* HidingBehindYourBangs: His hair conceals one of his eyes, reflecting the mysterious nature of his character - especially early on in the story.
72	* InternalizedCategorism: He regards himself as less capable because he is a Neutralizer, but he achieves a great deal through sheer force of will.
73	* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Stole the Throne to save his beloved sister Sara.
74	* MyGreatestFailure: He blames himself for Sara's imprisonment.
75	* OldFlame: He and Tiara dated before he stole the Throne of Yord.
76	* TallDarkAndHandsome: Swarthy, dark hair, dark eyes and in a LoveTriangle.

78
79	[[folder: Japolo]]
80	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RicaMatsumoto (Japanese), P.M. Lewis (English)
81	----
82	%%* BattleButler
83	* BigEater: He's frequently shown eating - at one point he devours an apple that's as big as he is.
84	* CartoonyTail: It poofs up when finds the scent of the Throne of Yord.
85	* ExpositionFairy: Japolo helps to explain the setting for the benefit of the audience. There is a potentially justifying implication that Japolo and Tiara [[NewMeat haven't been partners for very long]], and that's why he wants to make sure they're both on the same page.
86	%%* KillerRabbit
87	* TheNoseKnows: He helps Tiara locate the Throne of Yord by sense of smell.
88	* TalkingAnimal: ''And'' a DeadpanSnarker.
89	* WeaselMascot: Bringing much-needed [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] and PluckyComicRelief.
90	[[/folder]]
91
92	[[folder: Leon]]
93	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/HiroYuki (Japanese), Alvaro J. Gonzalez (English)
94	----
95	* AmbiguouslyBrown: His skin tone is darker than most of the other characters, and the mark on his forehead suggests Indian influence, but it has no bearing on the story.
96	* BodyguardCrush: On Lena
97	* FacialMarkings: A mole on his forehead.
98	[[/folder]]
99
100	[[folder: Graham]]
101	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RicaMatsumoto (Japanese), Tristan Goddard (English)
102	----
103	* BodyguardCrush: He exists to protect Tiara, and has some...''issues'' with her boyfriend Kagetsu.
104	* CoolMask: A pretty unique one that covers the left half of his face vertically.
105	* CuteMonsterGirl: A SpearCounterpart - Graham is a cute Gothic horror monster.
106	* NotGoodWithRejection: Graham is not the same after his painful failure to confess his feelings to Tiara. It's not clear if he's simply being reckless or if he as a death wish, [[spoiler:but he seems relieved when Kagetsu nullifies him.]]
107	* RubberMan: Graham attacks by splitting his arms into tentacles.
108	* {{Yandere}}: Clearly loves and wants to protect Tiara, and will kill anyone he sees as a threat.
109	[[/folder]]
110
111	[[folder: The Throne of Yord]]
112	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/RokuroNaya (Japanese), Tristan Goddard (English)
113	----
114	* EldritchAbomination: Its physical manifestation seems like an ordinary painting, but it is self aware, formless and limitless. And it enjoys taking forms that make mortals afraid.
115	* GeniusLoci: Characters [[PortalPicture enter the painting that physically represents the Throne of Yord]] and find themselves in a world that is completely under its control.
116	* MacGuffin: {{Subverted}}; characters initially regard the Throne of Yord as one and pursue it accordingly, but discover that it is actually calling the shots.
117	* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: Its signature move is to shapeshift into a form identical to its opponent, or its opponents' friends, and try to BreakThemByTalking.
118	* SpookyPainting: It may not seem scary at first, but when that forest pond image is replaced with a red eye on a field of black, it's clear that the protagonists are in for a bad day.
119	[[/folder]]
120
121	[[folder: Apolline Faria, Mimi Joyman and Susanna White]]
122	->'''Apolline Faria voiced by''': Tomoko Maruo (Japanese), Wendy Walker (English)\
123	'''Mimi Joyman voiced by''': Creator/YukaImai (Japanese), Creator/RachaelLillis (English)\
124	'''Susanna White voiced by''': Akiko Nakagawa (Japanese), Creator/RachaelLillis (English)
125	----
126	* InspirationNod: These three girls are named after characters from ''Literature/{{Weaveworld}}'', a Clive Barker novel which is a favorite book of ''Shamanic Princess'' director Mitsuru Hongo. [[WordOfGod He is on record]] that this novel had a significant influence on ''Shamanic Princess''.
127	* {{Muggle}}: They live in a modern-day city somewhere in Europe, have no magic, and are unaware that Tiara is an infiltrator from a MagicLand.
128	* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: All three are truly regular, everyday kids.
129	* {{Tomboy}}: To a degree, Apolline. She has a deeper voice, short hair, seems to be somewhat more down to Earth than Susanna and Mimi.
