** TheLancer: Aria is Kinji's partner with a dominating personality that contrasts him.
** TheHeart: Shirayuki is the feminine NiceGirl.
** TheBigGirl: Reki is the sniper who never misses.
** TheSmartGirl: Riko is the information gatherer given her skills with disguise and infiltration.

[[folder:Kinji Tohyama]]
[[quoteright:213:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toyama_kinji.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunjiMajima (Japanese), Creator/ToddHaberkorn (English), Creator/EnzoFortuny (Latin American Spanish)

A top student of Assault Side, who, for some reason, demoted himself to the more rear-line Inquest Side. When sexually aroused, he enters a state called "Hysteria Savant Syndrome" (HSS), also known as "Hysteria Mode".
-----
* AccidentalPervert: He gets himself in all sorts of embarrassing incidents with girls, including groping them or seeing them underdressed. Considering how his power works, this can be a problem… or save his life.
* TheAce: In HSS mode, he's a [[GeniusBruiser Genius]] LightningBruiser and a smooth-talker to boot.
* AlmightyJanitor: Especially in HSS, though it's hinted that normally he's stronger than his "E rank" would indicate.
* BadassNormal: He aced the Butei entrance exam and is shown to be highly competent even without HSS.
* BulletTime: One of his powers under HSS is to accelerate his perception of time, which means everything around him appears to be moving slower.
* ButtMonkey: His girls love to make his life difficult for him and his flat.
* CelibateHero: It's heavily implied both in the light novels and the manga that Kinji refuses to act on his feelings for Aria [[spoiler:because he's convinced they're going to be separated sooner or later thanks to their different stations in life]].
* ChickMagnet: About every girl he knows is in love with him.
* ChivalrousPervert: While in HSS, he becomes a very smug and smooth-talking ladykiller, and feels compelled to protect any girl in front of him no matter what. This peeves Kinji to no end.
* CluelessChickMagnet: He has many female admirers. He either doesn't notice or chooses to ignore the signs. Subverted because then novels make it clear he DOES know.
* CrazyPrepared: After [[spoiler:defeating Franchise/SherlockHolmes]], Kinji also starts carrying with him his father's triple-burst [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Desert_Eagle IMI Desert Eagle]], as well as a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seax seax]] [[spoiler:inherited from Sherlock]].
* CursedWithAwesome: HSS grants him superhuman abilities, but it is only activated by sexual arousal, and under such a state Kinji turns into a suave ladykiller, which he thinks is detrimental to his academic life.
* DeadpanSnarker: Tends to respond to his comrades'… quirky behavior with wit or sarcasm.
* DeusSexMachina: He needs to be sexually aroused (usually by experiencing MarshmallowHell or kissing) to activate his HSS.
* DualWielding: [[spoiler: One light novel volumes promote him into the "third Quadra", after Aria and Riko.]]
* TheDulcineaEffect: Kinji inherited this ''genetically''. It's a side effect of his Hysteria mode. He can't not help a girl in trouble.
* FamousAncestor: Though not explicitly mentioned, he is obviously implied to be a descendant of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C5%8Dyama_no_Kin-san Kagemoto Tohyama]] (popularly known as Kinshiro or Kin-san), a real life chief of police from the Edo period who became a folk character in Japan.
* FirstKiss: His first kiss is with Aria, which also doubles as a deliberate HSS activation to him.
* FirstPersonSmartass: Snarks a lot in his head, but is smart enough to keep it to himself and not to piss off others.
* HumiliationConga: [[spoiler:He was forced to mull leaving Butei after he and his (supposedly-dead) older brother Kinichi was subjected to a great deal of trouble after the latter's rescue attempt aboard a sinking ship, but with the shipping company unwilling to take responsibility and instead scapegoating him.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: After his brother Kin-ichi's supposed death, he just wants to be done in Butei life and plans to tranfer to a normal high school as soon as the year finishes. The problem is, his special ability and relationship with Aria (amongst other things) make that a lot more difficult than he would like. In volume 7/chapter 87, [[spoiler:Koko outright tells him that because of his gift he'll never be able to live among "normal" people.]]
* InconsistentSpelling: His surname via the "toh" part can sometimes be written as either "Toh" or "Too", though the latter is more accurate due to the official furigana having an extended "o" vowel instead of he usual extra "u".
* MistakenForPedophile: His classmates are under a certain misconception due to his closeness to the diminutive Aria. She ''is'' the most effective catalyst for his HSS. For example, in Episode 10, he managed to resist arousal from [[MsFanservice Riko]] in just her lingerie, but couldn't hold on any longer once he saw Aria taking off her ''socks''.
* MistressAndServantBoy: Aria keeps asserting that Kinji is her slave, and so she ''has'' to spend time with him and direct him.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Ironically, by his own HSS-addled alter-ego. He knows it and hates that fact.
* PerpetualFrowner: He almost never smiles, unless he enters Hysteria Mode.
* SelectiveObliviousness: The light novels make it especially clear that Kinji is fully aware of other girls' romantic interest in him, but just chooses to play dumb rather than face it. There's an ''especially'' strong case in Kinji's own feelings for Aria. He knows perfectly well how he feels about her, he just refuses to acknowledge it, even in the privacy of his own head.
* StraightMan: Usually plays the react-to-the-outrageous role when surrounded by Aria, Riko and/or Shirayuki − and later Reki when she turns out to be NotSoAboveItAll.
* SuperMode: His Hysteria Mode makes him more competent at just about everything. [[spoiler:He also has the "Berserk HSS" upgrade, which is triggered by [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]].]]
* SuperReflexes: One of his Hysteria mode's powers is to increase his reaction speed.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: He's very bitter, cynical, and sarcastic, yet good-looking young man.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A. He usually treats Aria with indifference, but there are times when he is kind to her.
* TsurimeEyes: Has a sharp eye shape and a sharp tongue to match.
* UnwantedHarem: He has [[{{Tsundere}} Aria]], [[{{Yandere}} Shirayuki]], [[TheTease Riko]], and [[SugarAndIcePersonality Reki]] after him, and that's just the top of the iceberg.
* WackyMarriageProposal: PlayedWith in volume 7/chapter 93. [[spoiler:He offers Aria a ring for her birthday, but doesn't know on which finger he should put it… It turns out it fits just right on her left ring finger.]] Aria gets the "message", panics and then prompty faints in front of a clueless Kinji.

[[folder:Aria Holmes Kanzaki]]
[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kanzaki_aria.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieKugimiya (Japanese), Creator/LeahClark (English), Susana Moreno (Latin American Spanish)

A diminutive top student of Butei High's prestigious Assault Side. Looking for a fitting partner, her attention falls on Kinji, whom she quickly declares her "slave". She is also the great-granddaughter of the [[WorldsStrongestMan most powerful and intelligent detective in history]], Sherlock Holmes.
-----
* ACupAngst: She ''hates'' to be reminded of her small breasts. It doesn't help all her love rivals have a bigger bust size than her.
* TheAce: She's good at everything… [[LethalChef except cooking]].
%%* ActionGirl
* AnimalMotifs: Cats. She is fond of "Leopon" stuffed cats, some key scenes involving her have random purrs, and in Episode 2 she even growls like a cat. In Episode 6 Shirayuki even calls her a "thieving cat"[[note]]A derogatory term to a female romantic interloper; this is frequently used in Japanese live-action drama shows[[/note]] for freeloading with Kinji.
* BadassAdorable: She may be small and adorable, but she's also part of Butei High's Assault Side so she can and will kick your ass.
* BettyAndVeronica: Aria is the aggressive, exotic Veronica and Kinji's sweet, longtime friend Shirayuki is the Betty.
* ButNotTooForeign: Her mother is Japanese and her father is half English, half Japanese.
* CatchphraseInsult:
-->'''Japanese:''' "I'll blow a hole through you!"\\
'''English:''' "I'll pump you full of holes!"
* ChildProdigy: From a young age, she showed great talent in being a Butei. It's a result of her being a descendant of Sherlock Holmes.
* ClearTheirName: Aria's primary motivation for attending Butei High is to help clear her mother, Kanae, of charges of being the "Butei Killer", which automatically sent her to ''862 years'' in prison. If successful, Aria could shave off centuries of prison time for her and, at the best-case scenario, even clear her altogether.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She gets ''very'' jealous whenever Kinji gets too close to another girl. He is ''her'' "slave" after all.
* ClothingConcealedInjury: {{Inverted|Trope}}. She wore initially a hairpin to keep her bangs up, but she drops it to cover the forehead scar she receives in one of the first cases.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Aria's eyes and hair are reddish-pink.
%%* CuteBruiser
* CuteLittleFangs: She's drawn with sharp fangs to complement her feline tendencies.
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: She tends to hit (or even ''shoot at'') Kinji on a regular basis, for the flimsiest reasons. She gets ''somewhat'' better as the series goes on, if only because of her growing feelings for him.
* DualWielding: A pair of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1911_pistol M1911s]] and a pair of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodachi kodachis]]. She's thus one of the "Quadra".
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Her first appearance has her wearing sneakers along with her uniform, almost in a [[JapaneseDelinquents sukeban]]-like manner, instead of the proper dress shoes she wears since.
* FamousAncestor: She's the fourth-generation descendant of the titular Literature/SherlockHolmes, explaining the "H" in her name.
* FearOfThunder: She's quite afraid of thunder. This presents problems in missions where it's raining.
* FieryRedhead: She has quite the HairTriggerTemper and gets passionate very easily during her missions.
* FirstKiss: With Kinji, which also doubles as a ShutUpKiss to her in order to pacify her after she was revived from being critically hit in the chest by Riko.
* ForeheadOfDoom: She has a rather big forehead, something she's proud of and Kinji tends to tease her about.
* GirlishPigtails: She ties her hair into twintails; another trait that identifies her as a {{Tsundere}}.
* GunsAkimbo: According to IMFDB, her weapons are a pair of customized Colt Model Governments, which is a civilian variant of the of the military issued Colt 1911A1 used in World War II.
* HairTriggerTemper: Being a FieryRedhead, she goes from calm to extremely angry with minimal provocation.
* HereditaryHairstyle: Her GirlishPigtails are revealed to be the common hairstyle for all women of the Holmes family. The reasoning behind it, according to Kinji, was so Sherlock, and anyone skilled enough, could read the movements of the woman based on the movements of how her twintails move about.
* HumanizingTears: As typical for {{Tsundere}}, the moments in which Aria cries create a cute contrast with her usual violent and abrasive character.
* IdiotHair: Not a very noticeable, but she has one hair that sticks out from her bangs, and fits with many of her more impulsive decisions.
* InsufferableGenius: Somehow is A LOT like Holmes himself via the insufferable-part, which is quite clear in the beginning where Kinji shows clear annoyance living with her (making their dynamic akin to how Watson had to start out with Holmes), and her assumptions of the source of Kinji's HSS being off the mark for most of the series.
* LadySwearsALot: In the English dub, she swears a lot but without the stronger swear words.
* LethalChef: Cooking is the only thing she's no good for.
* LittleMissBadass: Despite her small size, she can easily kick your ass.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: [[spoiler: The 'Scarlet Bullet' changed her blond hair and blue eyes into the reddish-pink she has now.]]
* LuminescentBlush: Very prone to blushing around Kinji, especially when he's in his Hysteria mode.
* MissConception: She thinks kissing instantly leads to pregnancy.
* MistressAndServantBoy: Keeps asserting that Kinji is her slave, so she ''has'' to spend time with him and give him orders.
* TheMusketeer: She fights with both guns and katanas.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: Turns out the H. stands for "Holmes", as in Literature/SherlockHolmes.
* TheNapoleon: Aria's temper is as short as her stature.
* NewTransferStudent: She enters Butei High School as a transfer student at Kinji's class.
* {{Ojou}}: She claims to be an "aristocrat" and certainly acts haughty.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She's a second-year high school student like Kinji, but her short height and underdeveloped body make her look like a preteen. [[spoiler:Her stunted growth is due to the 'Scarlet Bullet' embedded in her back.]]
* {{Omniglot}}: She knows ''seventeen'' languages.
* PrettyFreeloader: She settles in Kinji's apartment without asking for his permission and gets to stay there without ever having to pay or help in the house chores.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: She has big red eyes and you better watch out when you're near her, as she's quick to fire her guns at you.
* SignatureHeadgear: Her twintails are always decorated with red horn-shaped hairpins, giving her an aptly devilish appearance.
* SuperDrowningSkills: She's unable to swim.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Despite her license hailing from England, a country that allows its Butei to use lethal force, she chooses to adhere to the Japanese law of not killing suspects.
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: She is only 142 cm or a little under 4'8". Her first request to Kinji is to become her slave. She later orders the same thing to Shirayuki, and sometimes talks about how she has to "train" them. Don't try to disobey, or she'll make you full of airholes.
* TokenMiniMoe: The only member of the cast to look like a child.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She loves peach buns.
* TriggerHappy: She is quick to use her guns when she gets angry.
* TrouserSpace: She hides a pair of guns under her skirt.

* TsurimeEyes: As expected from a haughty {{Tsundere}}, she has a sharp eye shape.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Riko. Aria's ClingyJealousGirl tendencies clash with Riko's fondness for teasing Kinji, but after Riko joins Team Baskerville, they're on good terms even if they're still rivals for Kinji's love.
* XMarksTheHero: After a brush with death during the bus bomb incident, she has since kept a small X-shaped scar on her forehead (now hidden by her hair) as a reminder.

-----
%%* AbsurdlySharpBlade
%%* ActionGirl
* AlliterativeName: '''H'''imiko '''H'''otogi.
* AncestralName: Her real name is Himiko, having been named after her FamousAncestor.
%%* BadassAdorable
* BettyAndVeronica: The sweet, longtime friend Betty to Aria's aggressive, exotic Veronica.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kind, affectionate, bashful, and when she heard that Shinji was threatened by a SerialKiller copycat, she started talking about lopping limbs off.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: She's noted for having the bustiest figure in her school, something that gets her a lot of attention.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Her ultimate goal with Kinji to move from "girl he befriended as a child" to "beloved wife".
* ClingyJealousGirl: If any girl gets within a 2 meter radius from Kinji in her presence, or everyone in the vicinity will chill down their spines from her DeathGlare.
* ClubPresident: She's president of various clubs including the gardening club, handicraft club, and girls' volleyball club.
* CovertPervert: Despite seeming like the most demure of Kinji's admirers, Shirayuki also has a rather perverted side to her personality, often times choosing to wear erotic underwear and trying to get intimate with Kinji whenever she can.
* CuteAndPsycho: Most of the time, she's sweet, gentle and delicate. Then she switches to {{Yandere}} mode.
* DudeMagnet: She's very popular with the guys at school, though she doesn't care for anyone but Kinji.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Whenever she's slipping into {{Yandere}} mode, especially towards Aria, her eyes go blank.
* FamousAncestor: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himiko Himiko]], legendary shaman queen of Yamataikoku, who ruled some 2000 years ago.
* FirstKiss: With Kinji, though technically this is already the guy's second (the first being Aria, of course). It was also an HSS trigger.
* FriendlessBackground: It's implied her early life as a {{Miko}} was very sheltered -- as a child she was not allowed to go outside, and was severely punished for going out with Kinji. She was also only able to attend Butei High due to her clan's approval.
* HealingHands: As a priestess and a Stealth, she can use healing magic to a limited degree.
* HimeCut: Fitting with her status as a YamatoNadeshiko and the descendant of a legendary Japanese shaman queen, she wears her hair in this style: long in the back, even bangs and sidelocks.

* LadyOfWar: She's an elegant ActionGirl who is noted to have finesse in her fighting style.

* {{Miko}}: Her family is a hugely influential clan of Shinto priests, and she's no exception.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Weapons include a katana and a kusarigama, among others.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Shirayuki" is an alias to conceal her real name, Himiko.
* PatientChildhoodLoveInterest: She's been in love with Kinji since they were kids and can get extremely (and weirdly) demonstrative of it. Her "patience" tends to run out quite frequently, but Kinji is rather creeped out, as she looks and sounds positively insane in those moments.
* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler: Her offensive magic is based on this, with Irokane Ayame acting as a FlamingSword.]]
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Shirayuki is, as Kinji quotes, a true Japanese beauty with pale skin and long, flowing black hair.
* StudentCouncilPresident: She's the current student council chairman.
* TaremeEyes: Being a shy, polite and demure girl ([[{{Yandere}} most of the time]]), she has the rounded eyes shape.
* YamatoNadeshiko: According to Kinji, she's a perfect Japanese beauty, due to her pale skin, curvy figure, long black hair and loyal personality. She's also a {{miko}} according to family tradition and practices with a katana.
* {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs, in that she threatens [[MurderTheHypotenuse "exorcism" to any girl who comes between her and Kinji]] (including his partner Aria).
* YaoiFangirl: Stated in the previews for the 11th episode that enjoys the "boys love" genre, but it was a preview so it might not be canon.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriIshihara (Japanese), Creator/JadSaxton (English), Wendy Malvárez (Latin American Spanish)

A mysterious, silent sniper and Butei High student.
-----
* BadassBoast:
-->"I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight toward its target."
* BayonetYa: She uses a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragunov_sniper_rifle Dragunov]] with a [[BayonetYa bayonet attached on its end]].
* ColdSniper: She's hypercompetent with the rifle, but seemingly devoid of human emotions.
* EmotionlessGirl: [[spoiler:As a member of the Ulus Tribe, she sealed away her emotions inside a sliver of [[{{Unobtanium}} irokane]] in exchange for efficiency and utter devotion to her chosen husband (i.e., Kinji).]]
* FamousAncestor: [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan, who roamed 12th-century Japan as famous general [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamoto_no_Yoshitsune Minamoto no Yoshitsune]].]]
* FluffyTamer: Her bullets alone could tame a ''giant Central Asian wolf''.
* GratuitousPrincess: When written in kanji, her name reads "Princess of Buds" [[spoiler:and she is the princess of the Ulus clan, which descends from Genghis Khan.]]
* IdiotHair: Sort of. One of her hair curls up, making it stand out atop her head. It more stands out for how detacted she is from things like combing one's hair.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: She can even extend the effective range of her Dragunov from its standard 800 meters to ''2,051 meters''.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Reki, Happou!"
* MysteriousPast: Reki is so mysterious, no one even knows her last name.
* NoFullNameGiven: She always goes under the name of Reki, just Reki. The light novels expand that she is officially registered in Butei High as Reki Yada, only that she prefers to be addressed by her given name because Yada is a pseudonym - she actually ignores her real surname herself.
* TheQuietOne: She rarely speaks unless necessary, and even then she says the bare minimum.
* RedBaron: In the novels, she is nicknamed "Robot Reki" by other students due to her inexpresiveness.
* ReiAyanamiExpy: A blue-haired EmotionlessGirl who is entirely devoted to her missions and fulfills them with clinical ability. Her name is even '''Re'''k'''i'''.
* SmallGirlBigGun: Her rifle is about as long as her body.
* SavageWolves: Haimaki used to be vicious but she tamed him via a bullet grazing through his spine. Now he recognizes her as his mistress, thus making him a NobleWolf.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: The sugar part mostly starts to show during the Kyoto arc [[spoiler:where she becomes independent from the "Wind" and rediscovers human emotions thanks to Kinji.]] However, she shows hints of her inner kindness even before that with her wolf Haimaki.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Energy bars for her, fish sausages for Haimaki.
* TsurimeEyes: Her sharp eyes fit her {{stoic}} and distant character.
* WackyMarriageProposal: [[spoiler:She proposes to Kinji while pointing the barrel of her Dragunov to him.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MariyaIse (Japanese), Creator/LuciChristian (English), Elizabeth Infante (Latin American Spanish)

An apparently ditzy, air-headed Butei High student who is actually a reliable source of information. Great-granddaughter of the legendary thief ''Literature/ArseneLupin''.

-----
* AnimalMotifs: Like Aria, Riko has her own share of feline characteristics, with her PlayfulCatSmile as the most evident one. Shirayuki even calls her "the other thieving cat".
* BadassAdorable: She's a competent combatant and student of Butei High and she's certainly cute but the "adorable" part is largely an act.
* BigBreastPride: She'd proud of her busty figure and likes flaunting it in front of Aria to trigger her ACupAngst.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: She acts [[GenkiGirl extremely hyper and frivolous]], but she's scarily competent when she gets serious, be it in fighting or detective work.
* ButNotTooForeign: She has French blood, being from the stinking-rich Lupin family.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: Aria's particularly jealous of Riko having a bigger bust than hers because their appearance is otherwise very similar.
* ChekhovsSkill: She can imitate the voice of any person she wants to impersonate very well. This comes in handy soon afterwards.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:She's an orphan living at Vlad's mercy, brainwashed into joining I-U and attempting to slay Aria, a Holmes, in order to win back her precious rosary, her identity and her freedom... all for Vlad to [[EvilutionaryBiologist extract DNA from Aria and create superior genes that allow him to evolve]].]]
* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:Although she joins the Kinji-Aria team for good after they free her from Vlad's clutches, it was still after they defeated her first.]]
* TheDitz: Subverted. She ''acts'' silly it is [[ObfuscatingStupidity not]] ''[[ObfuscatingStupidity nearly]]'' [[ObfuscatingStupidity the truth.]]
* DumbBlonde: Subverted. She's blonde and often considered the biggest idiot in Kinji's class, but this is a deliberate facade.
* FamousAncestor: Riko is the great-granddaughter of Literature/ArseneLupin, Holmes's nemesis. As such, stealing stuff is one of her forte.
* FirstKiss: She shares hers with Kinji, which effectively makes it his third.
* {{Foil}}: She's the composed playful and seductress, as opposed to Aria the aggressive, {{Hair Trigger Temper}}ed tsundere.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:Sick of being constantly referred to as "Lupin the 4th" by Vlad (pretending to be a relative) and treated as a defective descendant whose only worth is to serve as a womb to bear a superior 5th, Riko was forced to join I-U, hoping to kill a Holmes and finally break free of her great-grandfather's shadow.]]
* GirlishPigtails: She keeps some of her hair tied into twintails. This is to complement the ditzy persona she cultivates.
* GoodBadGirl: A bright ray of good-natured sunshine who just happens to also be ''very'' frank and comfortable with her sexuality.
* GratuitousFrench: Often uses words in French language. Sometimes it is combined with GratuitousEnglish.
* HoldingBothSidesOfTheConversation: [[spoiler:In Episode 11, to set off Kinji's HSS, she pretended to be Aria and someone else over a phone.]]
* IAmNotMyFather: Ultimately subverted in the end, when, [[spoiler:after defeating Vlad, who brainwashed her into doing his bidding by hammering the title onto her, she regains her pride of her heritage as Lupin the 4th.]]
* KnowledgeBroker: A very useful informant, as she's not only from a family of burglars, but also trained in the I-U and is acquainted with some of its members.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Her surname Mine, being a reference to Fujiko Mine from ''Franchise/LupinIII'', is an obvious implication that Riko is the daughter of Fujiko and Lupin (further supported because she is said to have learned her seductress ability, a trait of Fujiko herself, from her mother). However, as her parents are dead before the start of the series, any possible copyright infringement is avoided by PlausibleDeniability.
* LossOfIdentity: She felt like she lost herself after the downfall of her family and with Vlad constantly calling her "the 4th", as if she had no name. She solves it in Volume 3 with Kinji and Aria's help.
* LovableSexManiac: Cheerful, helpful in times of need, and very perverted.
* MaliciousMisnaming: She pronounces Aria's name like in French instead of the correct spelling - i.e. "'Olmès" instead of "Holmes". Well... that's the idea at least. No-one in France actually pronounces it that way.
* MasterOfDisguise: Riko is able to perfectly disguise her appearance as a completely different person.
* MsFanservice: Her mother herself taught her how to make use of her womanly charms in case of need.
* NonUniformUniform: Her school uniform has a lot of frills, unlike the other girls.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: She keeps a cutesy, burikko-like act in order to hide her true personality.
* OtakuSurrogate: A huge fan of otome games and the likes, although she absolutely refuses to play any sequels to her favorite games.
* PlayfulCatSmile: Of smiles like a cat to emphasize her mischievous personality.
* PrehensileHair: She can use her GirlishPigtails as extra-hands or strangling ropes, hence her sharing the nickname "Quadra" with Aria. Unlike other examples, however, this seems to be actually an application of MindOverMatter powers on her hair instead of a power of her hair in itself.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Modesty rules are of very little concern to her. This includes forcing Kinji to... explore her uniform to get his pen back ''in the middle of a test.''
* ShoutOut: Not only is she known as "Lupin the 4th", her last name "Mine" is the same as Fujiko Mine from ''Franchise/LupinIII''.
* SignatureLaugh: Kufu!
* TheTease: Riko knows of Kinji's [[ChivalrousPervert Hysteria Mode]] and loves teasing him because of it. She is not afraid of making a move on him and attempting to seduce him, much to the dismay of the other girls after Kinji's love.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Except when she is serious, she will refer to herself as "Riko" because this is considered a cute affection.
* ThirdOptionLoveInterest: She is the third major member of Kinji's harem.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Strawberry au lait. It causes her some... disagreements during the Koko arc [[spoiler:where she's stuck on a seat that happens to hide the trigger for a huge bomb in the train, with an extremely pressing urge.]]
* TsurimeEyes: The sharp points to her eyes are mostly prominent [[LetsGetDangerous when she gets serious.]]
