1	!Wakana Sakai
2	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyahiTakagaki
3	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/10203555a.jpg]]
4
5	* TheAce: Like her mom, she's a music prodigy.
6	** BrokenAce: ''Unlike'' her mom, her issues as a result of her mom's death turned her bitter and gloomy enough to quit music for a while.
7	* BrokenBird: Wakana's lack of socializing stems from her past. She initially pushes away those who approach her, but through efforts from Konatsu and Sawa, she becomes more open.
8	* DefrostingIceQueen: Part of the anime's plot is helping Wakana get out of her shell as a result of years of depression. Her friends succeed in helping her get through her issues.
9	* DontThinkFeel: Non-fantastical example. [[spoiler: The vice principal gives Wakana this advice to help her overcome her writer's block when she was writing a song for the club, just like how her mom used to do it. It works.]]
10	* ElegantClassicalMusician: Doesn't always show thanks to the premise, but she's an experienced pianist and looks graceful whenever she plays.
11	* EmotionlessGirl: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. She gives off this vibe due to being a detached person, but once you get to know her, she's actually pretty expressive, albeit still introverted. She becomes a bit more outgoing after her issues are resolved however.
12	* {{Expy}}: Appearance-wise, she's basically a nicer, non-abrasive [[Anime/HanasakuIroha Minko]].
13	* GratuitousEnglish: The [[MemeticMutation infamous]] "I am no money!" and "I don't money" lines of hers.
14	* HopeBringer: Was this to Konatsu's newly-christened club when her joining filled the sufficient quota of members needed for the club to be approved. She continues to be this for other characters for different reasons post-character development.
15	* IdiotHair: Has a small ahoge sticking out of her ponytail.
16	* IneffectualLoner: She took a while to defrost, but Konatsu's and Sawa's efforts to reach out to her paid out in the long run.
17	* KindheartedCatLover: For all her faults in the past and in the first few episodes, one of the things that remained consistent with her personality is that she loves her pet cat a lot.
18	* LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: In contrast to her mother, who was a bit hyperactive and cheerful, Wakana is brooding, gloomy, stoic, and aloof. What she ''did'' inherit from her mom apart from her looks and talent was her idealistic outlook on life and music, a thing Wakana eventually found through her friends.
19	* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Her main regret is that she was never able to say "see you later" to her mom before she died. That, and the fact that she treated her coldly before then too.
20	* TheQuietOne: Rarely spoke to other people before her eventual defrosting.
21	* SourOutsideSadInside: Her default disposition is cold and unsociable, but it's a result of her heavy guilt and sadness over her mom's death.
22	* TheStoic: Is emotionally shielded and withdrawn as a result of depression. See BrokenBird above.
23	** NotSoStoic: That saying, she has her not so stoic moments, even during her depression phase in the first six episodes, like the time when she was frantically chased by a Spanish guy her mother knew and when she saw Wien and Tanaka..."practicing".
24	* StrongFamilyResemblance: She's basically a gloomier, carbon copy of her mom. The resemblance is clearer whenever Wakana smiles however.
25	* TroubledFetalPosition: A flashback shows her doing this during her mom's funeral.
26	* WasTooHardOnHer: She was a bit of a hard jerk to her mom when she was younger. She continued treating her coldly until she learned that her mom's illness eventually took her life. Since then, Wakana has been living a life of guilt and regret over this and places keeping promises at great value above all else.
27	%%zce* WhenSheSmiles

29	!Konatsu Miyamoto
30	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AsamiSeto
31	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tari_tari_01.png]]
32	* BigSisterBully: PlayedForLaughs. She blackmails and bosses her younger brother around plenty of times as if it were nobody's business. She's prone to teasing him too.
33	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her hair and eyes are both a bright orange.
34	%%zce* TheCutie
35	* {{Determinator}}: She'll sing in a chorus, no matter what!
36	* {{Expy}}: Has elements of Ohana Matsumae from ''Anime/HanasakuIroha'' in personality and appearance.
37	* GenkiGirl: Is optimistic and is considered the most energetic in the group.
38	* PluckyGirl: It'd take more than a few [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Obstructive Bureaucrats]] to stop this girl from doing what she wants.
39	* StartMyOwn: Konatsu decides to start her own choir club in the first episode after being told she's not good enough to sing in the other one.
40	* VitriolicBestBuds: Sometimes drifts into this territory with Sawa.
41
42	!Sawa Okita
43	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/SaoriHayami
44	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2982982_13464918552716res_500_280.jpg]]
45	* TheAce: Is considered the best in almost everything she does, whether it be archery, horseback riding, dancing, or singing.
46	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's nice, polite, and has an understanding character, but if you push her buttons way off, you'll be surprised at how capable she is at throwing a tantrum. Just check out the way she ''blew off'' a [[{{Jerkass}} disrespectful]] junior when she was basically at her angriest at that point.
47	* BreakTheCutie: Sawa's desires to become accepted by a jockey school led her to extreme measures. Similar to Wakana, her friends' efforts help her recover.
48	* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: Leaves at the end of the series just before graduation to pursue her dreams of becoming a jockey abroad.]]
49	* DeadpanSnarker: To Konatsu. She's one to her mom too.
50	* GirlishPigtails
51	* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Spirals into this when her admission to a jockey school was rejected. She gets better with a little encouragement from her friends.]]
52	* HorsebackHeroism: [[spoiler: Shows up at school riding Sabure to make it in time before their group's performance.]]
53	* NiceGirl: Pretty nice and outgoing.
54	* OnlySaneMan: [[NotSoAboveItAll Not among her club mates]], but she has this thing going with her mom and Konatsu.
55	* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Sawa wears her uniform in [[https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/--RvdOitp6JM/UFkA2bddIOI/AAAAAAAAQ9c/l1vkf5TiYlI/s640/9f8f23b9566119ec4498b2d1a946fe2f.jpg this manner]] during school hours.
56	* StraightMan: Serves as this to Konatsu.
57	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Konatsu at times.
58
59	!Taichi Tanaka
60	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobunagaShimazaki
61	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tari_tari_03_taichi_annoyed.jpg]]
62	* TheAce: At tennis. He could singlehandedly take on Konatsu, Wakana, and Sawa in a single match without breaking much of a sweat and would have won too had it not been for his partner Wien screwing up in the game at the last minute.
63	* AlliterativeName: '''T'''aichi '''T'''anaka.
64	* ButtMonkey: Downplayed, but Konatsu would almost always single him out to pick on him whenever he says something out of line. At times, even [[NotSoAboveItAll Wakana and Sawa]] get in on it too.
65	* CannotSpitItOut: [[spoiler: It's heavily implied that he has a crush on Sawa, but he doesn't tell her, even when she leaves.]]
66	* OutOfFocus: Compared to the rest of the cast, Taichi doesn't get a [[ADayInTheLimelight character arc]] of his own with the exception of one episode (and that didn't show much either).
67	* StraightMan
68	* TerribleArtist: In episode eleven, Konatsu wants him to draw the background settings, brushing aside Taichi's protests and maintaining that everyone else is doing stuff for the first time, such as Wakana with songwriting and Sawa with choreography. When he presents a sketch to Sawa, Konatsu, and Wien the next day:
69	-->'''Konatsu''': Never draw again.

71	!Atsuhiro "Wien" Maeda
72	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsukiHanae
73	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/taritari_char1.jpg]]
74	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Having been influenced by Sentai shows, he displays this from time to time. It first shows up when he saves Wakana from what both assumed to be a stalker (it was all a big misunderstanding though), and when he goes after a robber who was stealing Konatsu's bag.
75	* {{Keet}}
76	* LargeHam: When he dons his superhero costume for the first time for a part-time job given to him and his friends by Shiho.
77	* NewTransferStudent: Wien is a new transfer student from Austria and finds himself unfamiliar with Japanese customs.
