!Ayumu Aikawa
[[quoteright:218:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ayumu_aikawa.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakumaTerashima (Drama CD), Creator/JunjiMajima (Anime) [Japanese], and Creator/AustinTindle [English]

TheProtagonist of the series. An OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent killed by a SerialKiller before the start of the series and revived as a zombie by Eucliwood Hellscythe. Technically he is now under her servitude, but more often than not he's the one running the household.
-----
* AccidentalMarriage: Maelstrom believes she and Ayumu are married, after he [[AccidentalKiss accidentally kisses]] her due to vampire ninjas getting married when they kiss a member of the opposite sex.
* AccidentalMisnaming: Chris never gets his name right.
* AccidentalPervert: There's a number of times where he sees the girls naked or gropes them by accident.
* AlliterativeName: '''A'''yumu '''A'''ikawa.
* AmusingInjuries: Ayumu constantly suffers horrible, mutilating injuries, but since he's pretty much immortal, it's all PlayedForLaughs.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: After Chris [[spoiler:reveals herself as Ayumu's enemy]], he asks her if she was the expert on magic that Haruna mentioned, the one behind yesterday's Megalo attack, which he somehow ends up asking if she was the reason summer is hot.
* AssShove: In two of the [=OVAs=], causing temporary [[invoked]]{{Ukefication}}. He also gets one with a flower in the first ending theme and a bunch more in the Of the Dead's ending theme.
* AttractiveZombie: He looks no different from what he did when he was alive, his flesh doesn't rot and there's at least five girls in love with him.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: Pulls one against [[spoiler:Kyoko]].
* BodyguardingABadass: He's an immortal zombie who is also the [[BattleButler default servant]] of one of the most powerful existences in the story.
* ButtMonkey: Ayumu usually gets the short end of the stick at any given moment. At the end of Episode 1 of ''Of The Dead'', he was forced to fight a Squid Megalo in broad daylight to save Taeko, where most of his schoolmates can see... they quickly take shots of him and his exploits even made headlines across the internet. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the Mystletainn broke up after the fight, rendering him naked ''and'' unable to wipe out his schoolmates' memories!
* ChainsawGood: When he summons his Magiclad Girl powers, he wields the magical, pink chainsaw, Mystletainn.
* ChickMagnet: It's both his blessing and burden.
* ConvenientlySeated: PlayedForLaughs. Ayumu dehydrates when exposed to direct sunlight. So obviously, he gets the back seat next to the window in class.
* CooldownHug: In Episode 9, he stops the rampage of Tomonori's fire spirit by hugging her.
* CovertPervert: If his {{Imagine Spot}}s about Eu didn't leave you any clues. Also, she ''[[ObfuscatingStupidity knows]]'' about them.
** Another, far more subtle cue in the novels, when during gym class he is able to narrate a lot of details about his female classmates, but is [[SelectiveObliviousness completely ignorant of most of his male classmates]] including the school basketball star. Shows where Ayumu's priorities lie.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Not exactly a moron per se, but Ayumu is mostly a servant to his ladies. But beware: given the chance, he can [[spoiler:rip a Whale Megalo's head off, tear Kyoko to shreds with the Mystletainn, or punch the King of the Night out of immortality]].
* CursedWithAwesome: Being a zombie grants him functional immortality, regeneration and SuperStrength. Becoming a Magical Garment Girl gives him even more powers. However, he lacks a number of RequiredSecondaryPowers, meaning his body will tear itself apart if he uses his super strength too much, and his Magical Garment Girl outfit is intensely humiliating (but thank God for that [[LaserGuidedAmnesia memory-wash ability]] taken from Haruna).
** In ''Of The Dead'', he loses his LaserGuidedAmnesia ability since he broke Mystletainn and ends up at the center of an InUniverse MemeticMutation involving his Magical Garment Girl costume.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Given that he is a Zombie.
* TheDeadCanDance: By proxy since becoming a zombie hasn't affected his ability to breakdance.
* DeadpanSnarker: His sarcastic comments about the insanity of his life could give [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Kyon]] a run for his money.
* DeathByOriginStory: He technically died months before the story begins.
* DeathIsCheap: Naturally comes with his new lease of (undead) life.
* DetachmentCombat: He defeated Seraphim by hurling his severed arm at her.
* DraggedIntoDrag: Both as a Magical Garment Girl and as a [[Manga/CatsEye Kisugi sister]] parody. The former mode puts him in a pink frilly dress, and the latter mode (seen in the first OVA) puts him in a unitard. Apart from those examples, Episode 6 of Season 2 has him crossdressing to advertise the {{tsundere}} cosplay cafe per popular demand.
* EmbarrassingButEmpoweringOutfit: He's not amused by having to wear Haruna's MagicalGirl pink bow-covered dress in order to use her powers. Also, when he uses his own LimitBreak abilities while wearing it, the costume proceeds to get even girlier. Complete with commentary on his rising cuteness from whoever's on the sidelines.
* ExplosiveOverclocking: Ayumu can push his body past its human limits. This tends to leave him crippled afterwards, however.
* FinaglesLaw: Anything bad that can happen to Ayumu WILL happen to Ayumu.
* FirstPersonSmartass: Most of his sarcastic comments are found in his narration and thoughts, likely because it'd be too dangerous to say them out loud considering the girls' tempers.
* FriendlyZombie: Ayumu is a recently turned zombie, however being reanimated doesn't seem to have effected his personality in the slightest, where he remains a NiceGuy who is a slightly snarky ChickMagnet with his own SupportingHarem. He himself even questions whether it would be right to call himself a zombie as he's almost completely lacking in the stereotypical traits.
* FrillsOfJustice: In his magical girl form, he wears a pink dress with lots of ruffles and bows.
* GenreSavvy: During the {{tsundere}} challenge, he is well versed in classic tsundere stereotypes.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: If he couldn't heal, he'd easily be dead several times over by the end of just the first novel.
* HealingFactor: His zombie abilities allow him to heal at an extremely rapid pace. Also, severed limbs can be easily reattached if he manages to retrieve the parts.
* HeroicBSOD: Episode 10 of the first season. He questions if he's just holding back Eu.
* HeroicSacrifice: He always gets better (even from otherwise fatal injuries), but this is still played straight [[spoiler:at the end of Episode 10, when he takes the time bomb the King of the Night placed on Haruna's head, allowing it to explode in midair, literally tearing himself apart. His HeroicBSOD at that moment also made his "death" a little bit longer. Haruna, Seraphim and Maelstrom reassemble him at the start of Episode 11, but it took Haruna's mind-dive to finally convince him to come back to life.]]
* HiddenDepths: He can breakdance.
* ImagineSpot: OnceAnEpisode with Delusion Eu.
-->"This is the fantasy of our weak-hearted protagonist, Aikawa Ayumu."
* ImmortalityHurts: As a zombie, Ayumu quickly regenerates, but he can still feel any injury he suffers, his non-MagicalGirl power attacks break his body painfully, and he painfully dries out in the sun.
* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: He "dies" and takes fatal blows for others constantly since he knows he can survive.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He was killed by a katana piercing through his body. Since he was turned into an immortal zombie afterwards, this isn't the last time that happens to him.
* IronButtmonkey: Thanks to being a zombie, Ayumu can endure all sorts of physical abuse that would normally kill a human because he's basically indestructible.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Ayumu has always had this kind of personality, even before he gained his powers.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Towards Eu. He was captivated when he first saw her at a store shortly before he became a zombie thanks to her the night he was killed.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: RareMaleExample. Ayumu took Haruna's powers by accident when she tried to erase his memory. As a result, he's now got her magical girl costume and magical chainsaw.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Feminine Boy to Maelstrom's Masculine Girl. During their summary marriage ceremony (which was purely accidental, never mind that Maelstrom continues to insist that it's legal), he was the one who had to wear the wedding dress.
* MistressAndServantBoy: He is technically Eu's servant.
* MrFanservice: Actually the subject of a number of shirtless scenes, pantyshots (entirely when in his magical girl garb), accidental nudity moments, NUMEROUS shots of his ass (especially when Sarasvati is concerned) and general ecchi antics for a male lead.
* NavelWindow: The MagicalGirl costume has a cutout around the navel.
* NiceGuy: He allows three PrettyFreeloaders in his household despite two of them treating him like crap and the other doing nothing to help him.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He's a zombie Magical Garment Girl.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Before the events of the story, and as far as his classmates know, Ayumu is perfectly normal.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Despite being a zombie, he looks, acts and thinks like normal people and sunlight dries him out. He [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this trope in the second volume of the LightNovel when he tells Tomonori that he's not sure if "zombie" is the right word for what he is, but it's what he thinks of himself as.
* ParentalAbandonment: In his childhood, his parents tore him away from his friends and dragged him on a two-year overseas trip. Presently, his parents and younger brother are on another overseas trip that he didn't want to join in on. Sera and Haruna occupy his parents' and younger brother's rooms while they're conveniently away.
* RealMenWearPink: He literally wears a pink, frilly dress when in his MagicalGirl form.
* RocketPunch: Ayumu is not above throwing his own severed arm at an enemy if things get desperate.
* SensualSpandex: During the ''Manga/CatsEye'' parody in the first OVA. Of course, he gets them confused with leotards.
* StockLightNovelHero: Ayumu Aikawa was an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent until one day he died. But soon after he gets brought back to life as a zombie. Though [[OurZombiesAreDifferent he's not the stereotypical]] [[FleshEatingZombie flesh-eating]], mindless, rotting zombie. He's an [[RevenantZombie intelligent]], [[AttractiveZombie attractive]] FriendlyZombie who doesn't act any different to how he was back when he was alive. Really the only difference is being brought BackFromTheDead he now boasts an assortment of powers such as a HealingFactor, SuperStrength, and being NighInvulnerable. Also, he has his own UnwantedHarem of girls who are all supernatural creatures, including the very {{necromancer}} who brought him back to life.
* SuperStrength: Because he is a zombie, Ayumu can exceed the physical strength caps the human body naturally has, allowing him to increase his strength based on percentages. However, because his body is still human, pushing his strength too far can shatter his bones.
* ThanksForTheMammary: He learns Tomonori is a girl when Haruna pushes him and his hand falls on Tomonori's breast.
* TsurimeEyes: Despite his goofy attitude, he has sharp eyes.
* UndyingLoyalty: Swears to stay by Eu's side even after she tearfully confesses to her horrifying secret.
* UnskilledButStrong: He's basically outclassed by everyone around him in everything except sheer strength and stamina. Even those don't seem to matter when he's up against magical girls who can raise barriers to tank his punches, or ninja vampires who can chop him in half before he can even land a hit.
* WeakenedByTheLight: As a zombie, direct sunlight dries out his body.
* WholeCostumeReference: His jumpsuit during the ''Manga/CatsEye'' parody in the first OVA.
* WouldHitAGirl: Scratch that -- he would ''chainsaw'' a girl if they messed with his friends.
* YankTheDogsChain: Zigzagged, via a ChekhovsGag through the first episodes of the first two seasons, where Ayumu was exposed as a Magical Garment Girl to his classmates after fighting a Megalo on the school grounds. Except he wasn't lucky the second time around: with Mystletainn broken and he unable to erase their memories, he ends up at the center of an InUniverse MemeticMutation, much to his despair. And even when he thought he'd finally get over that incident once Mystletainn was fixed, his classmates later had him DraggedIntoDrag again afterwards anyway, this time to advertise the tsundere cosplay cafe.

A necromancer and possibly the most powerful Magical Garment Girl ever, able to both kill and revive a person with her voice alone. As a result, she only speaks through writing words on a notepad, and constantly wears plate armor just to prevent her powers from going out of control.
----
* TwentyFourHourArmor: Justified, as her armor acts as a PowerLimiter and if she takes it off, her powers will be a danger for everyone around her. For precaution, she never takes off the armor completely even when bathing.
* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: Her magical powers are so incredibly strong that she takes extreme measures to keep them in check, such as wearing a TwentyFourHourArmor that suppresses her powers and never speaking because her words alone can destroy anything and anyone even by accident.
* BattleBallgown: She always wears a purple dress equipped with an armor overdress that suppresses most of her powers.
* BerserkButton: Never treat death casually around her. Fortunately for everyone nearby, it just gets her annoyed (like Haruna, who got a slap). You'd know if she got '''really''' angry (just ask [[spoiler:Kyoko]]).
* BewareTheQuietOnes: She avoids speaking as much as possible. If she does speak, she could make anyone and even the entire world disappear.
%%* BigEater
* BlessedWithSuck: Having the power to alter reality itself with just her words means she must almost never speak, wear a PowerLimiter armor at all times, and keep her emotions repressed so she doesn't potentially destroy the world by accident.
* BloodMagic: How she heals people.
* BroughtDownToNormal: For a few minutes in the final episode of Season 1 [[spoiler:so she could sing]].
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler:At the end of Episode 9, she decides to leave her friends behind, believing that she was bringing them ever closer to harm. Ayumu ultimately convinces her to come back for them.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: Shows some signs of this, mostly showing it via pouting since any expressions of anger will trigger her power. She also refers to the other girls as "flies".
* TheComicallySerious: Especially in ''Of the Dead'''s Delusion Eu skits.
%%* CutenessProximity
%%* DarkIsNotEvil
* DifferentInEveryEpisode: Her "[[ImagineSpot Delusion Eu]]" [[TheOtherDarrin voices]] in the anime; for the Drama CD, Creator/YukariTamura does all the (imaginary) talking.
** In ''Of The Dead'''s Delusion Eu segments, the real Eu actually talks to her Delusion counterparts.
* ElectiveMute: Her words are powerful enough to kill so she doesn't speak and communicates through [[TalkingWithSigns written notes]] instead.
* EmotionlessGirl: Ayumu initially assumes she's this, but Seraphim correctly guesses she's simply hiding her emotions. After the events of Episodes 11 and 12, this starts to slip a little.
* EmotionSuppression: Eu can't allow herself to feel any emotion, because if she does her powers will go out of control.
* EvilLaugh: During the ''Manga/CatsEye'' parody in her [[TalkingWithSigns usual fashion]].
** Notably, SOMEHOW, she ISN'T voiced, even in the ImagineSpot sequences, by Creator/MegumiHayashibara or Creator/AyakoKawasumi.[[note]]Nor does she share their english voice actresses...[[/note]]
* IAmAMonster: Tearfully calls herself a monster before Ayumu, on account of her powers. [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre The guy thinks otherwise]].
* IdolSinger: [[spoiler:Steals the entire competition from Haruna, Seraphim and Sarasvati with her words' powers temporarily transferred to Ayumu via Ariel's machine. Then she's joined by Haruna due to said machine temporarily breaking down.]]
* InSeriesNickname: "Eu".
* {{Kawaiiko}}: The Delusion Eus, especially in ''Of The Dead''.
* LimitedWardrobe: Justified. See PowerLimiter below.
* LittleMissBadass: She's small, cute, and almost certainly the most powerful character in the series.
* LittleMissSnarker: She's young-looking and develops a snarky streak in ''Of The Dead'' towards her Delusion counterparts.
* LittleSisterHeroine: Ayumu seems to like imagining her as one. He always has {{Imagine Spot}}s where Eu is acting like a {{Moe}} little sister who calls him "Onii-chan" and showers him with praise.
* MagicalGirl: [[spoiler:She is capable of becoming a Magical Garment Girl.]]
* MediumAwareness: When Eu lends her powers to Haruna (thereby allowing her to speak), she's actually ''aware'' of Ayumu's {{Imagine Spot}}s, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kltzk-04HEU AND tells him this]].
* MistressAndServantBoy: Since she is the one who revived him as a zombie, Ayumu is technically her servant.
* MsFanservice: Primarily in Ayumu's {{Imagine Spot}}s.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Her white hair is one of the indications that she's not normal.
* {{Necromancer}}: Able to heal, kill and create zombies. Also has considerable respect in the underworld.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Necromancer knight[[spoiler:/Magical Garment Girl]].
* TheNthDoctor: Because she never talks, Ayumu fantasizes about hearing her say cute things OncePerEpisode in the anime. Her imaginary self has over twenty voices in Japanese, and just over a dozen in English.
* PowerIncontinence: Potentially one of the worst cases on record. Unchecked, her magic would spill out through her words and feelings. Even when she dies, her magic will rage on.
* PowerLimiter: She prevents her magic running wild by [[TwentyFourHourArmor wearing her armor]], [[TheVoiceless not speaking]], [[TheStoic and controlling her emotions]]. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, in Episode 9 she lets her emotions get the better of her under duress, leading to some pretty nasty things happening such as her friends getting squashed by a giant kappa doll and Maelstrom nearly dying. And all because the King of the Night threatened her friends.]]
* PrettyFreeloader: Ayumu lets her stay at his house and feeds her every day without her having to pay or help out with the housework.
* RealityWarper: Capable of altering reality by simply speaking.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue oni to Haruna's red oni.
* ReiAyanamiExpy: White hair, pale skin, mysterious abilities and origins and a deeply quiet and stoic demeanor that makes her come across as emotionless, but [[SugarAndIcePersonality still has a hidden caring side]].
%%* SchoolSwimsuit
* SensualSpandex: During the ''Manga/CatsEye'' parody in the first OVA. She says (or, more accurately, ''[[TalkingWithSigns writes]]'') that it's for "aesthetics".
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Her reaction to her {{stripperiffic}} bikini [[spoiler:Ayumu accidentally put her on with his thoughts temporarily powered by her magic]] was "Stimulating".
* SilentSnarker: In the first OVA she occasionally cracks jokes, albeit still in writing, and actually writes out "wwww", the Japanese equivalent of the {{emoticon}} "LOL".
* SinisterScythe: She can transform her notepad into one.
* TheStoic: In order to keep her powers from going haywire, she must be. ''Always''. [[NotSoStoic But...]]
* StoryBreakerPower: She could easily [[CurbStompBattle defeat]] everybody introduced thus far. The only problem is that [[TechnicalPacifist she is against violence and doesn't like to hurt people]]. [[spoiler:This especially doesn't help her when one of her old friends, Yoruno/The King of the Night, wanted to end his life at her hands, forcing him to harm her newfound family just to provoke her into ending his immortality-induced misery.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She comes off as emotionless and icy, always in control because she has to be. In the rare moments in which she lets her emotions out, it becomes clear Eu is actually a very sweet girl.
* SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious: [[spoiler:Her magic draws Megalo to it.]]
* SuperpowerLottery: She is without a doubt the strongest character shown thus far, able to kill by speaking.
* SuperpowerRussianRoulette: She can't control her powers by normal means.
* TalkingWithSigns: She communicates entirely through a notepad.
* VagueAge: She looks like a preteen girl, but her real age is a mystery. She might even be ReallySevenHundredYearsOld considering she seemed very opposed to her age being revealed.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Sarasvati obviously sees her as this, [[spoiler:otherwise she wouldn't put a hit on her in the first place.]]
* WhenSheSmiles: At the end of Episode 4.
* WholeCostumeReference: Her jumpsuit during the ''Manga/CatsEye'' parody in the first OVA.
* WordsCanBreakMyBones: She never speaks because her very words can alter reality. She can even kill someone just by speaking the word "die". The only defense against her words is to be unable to hear them.

[[folder: Haruna]]
!Haruna
[[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haruna_4.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoruMizuhara (Drama CD), Creator/IoriNomizu (Anime) [Japanese] and Creator/JadSaxton [English]

A self-described genius "Magical Garment Girl" from Villiers who fights Megalo, though her genius seems based in a whole different universe. Her weapon of choice is a pink chainsaw named Mystletainn, but she accidentally transferred most of her powers to Ayumu while trying to erase his memory. Now only he can wield Mystletainn against the Megalo while she regenerates her powers. In the meantime, she's squatting at his house and cooking fried egg in all its forms.
----
%%* TheAce
* ACupAngst: She's bitter of the fact that she has the smallest bust out of the gang. Heck, even ''Eu'' is bigger, if only slightly, than her.
* AttentionWhore: At times, she gets annoyed when Ayumu doesn't pay attention to her. Although it's mostly when [[ClingyJealousGirl he's paying attention to someone else]].
* AwesomenessByAnalysis:
** Able to correctly predict the questions on Ayumu's math exam by looking at his problems.
** When [[spoiler:Kyouko]] and Ayumu fight in Volume 3, Haruna's able to correctly predict ''all'' of her attacks.
* AxCrazy: When Haruna demands a [[ImagineSpot fantasy]] from Ayumu, the last portion of the spot involves... using Mystletainn on the mythical tree for money.
%%* BadassAdorable
%%* BarrierWarrior
%%* BigEater
* BrilliantButLazy: She ''is'' intelligent, but usually doesn't make the effort because she's not interested. This may be why she has... weird ideas about certain things.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Still has some of her magic, but Ayumu has her Magical Garment Girl abilities as well as the ability to wield the Mystletainn.
* ChainsawGood: As a magical girl, she wields a magical pink chainsaw.
* CharacterExaggeration: In the anime, she's a OneNoteCook that only makes egg rolls. In the light novels, she's much more a SupremeChef with a tendency to produce whole meals of just one thing, or make something that looks... not unpleasant, but kind of weird.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She gets jealous of Ayumu's [[AccidentalMarriage marriage]] to Maelstrom, and asks him to kiss her in Episode 8. When he questions her as to why she wants a kiss, she responds by beating him up a little bit. Exaggerated in Episode 9 of the second season after seeing him get too friendly with the buxom Nene.
* CuteLittleFang: She has a fang sticking out sometimes. It highlights her immature {{Tsundere}} personality.
* DitzyGenius: Despite being brilliant in a variety of academic and magical subjects, Haruna has no common sense (or at least of Japanese culture) and has very little to no restraint. Her antics often wind up getting Ayumu in trouble (such as causing him to sink into slime during his first test with Ariel) or are quite negligent (such as leaving potions in soda bottles lying around on the dining table).
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Her Japanese voice actress, Creator/IoriNomizu, sang both opening themes, "Ma-Ka-Se-Te Tonight" ("Leave It to Magic Tonight") and "*** Passionato".
* EmpathicWeapon: Her Mystletainn, whose allegiance shifted to Ayumu after absorbing most of her powers. [[spoiler:However, in Episode 11 it reaffirms Haruna's ownership of it, allowing her to transform full-time again and help Ayumu double-team the King of the Night.]]
* FirstKiss: [[spoiler:With Ayumu during volume 10, and several of them at that, long story but it involved a bomb underwater and her needing "air".]]
* FirstNameBasis: With Ayumu. Kind of a big deal, cosidering her otherwise inability to remember names.
* GenkiGirl: Perhaps the most bombastic of the group.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: [[spoiler:After blowing himself up, Ayumu [[HeroicBSOD blames himself for being too weak to protect Eu]]. Haruna (whom Ariel helped mind-dive into his subconscious) knocked some sense into him, convincing him to come back to life.]]
* IdiotHair: She sports a long strand of hair sticking out of her head, [[{{Irony}} even though she calls herself a genius]].
* IdolSinger: And she took the world by storm.
* InsufferableGenius: Haruna is a genius and keeps reminding people of that fact.
* LackOfEmpathy: When she sees Ayumu getting impaled by the claws of a bear Megalo, all she cares about is that she's going to lose points for letting an innocent die. Take note that this happens when she doesn't know Ayumu is an indestructible zombie yet.
* LensFlareCensor: Flat-out abused by her, with her penchant for attempting to transform into a Magical Garment Girl -- a process which destroys her civilian clothes, leaving her naked once the magic wears off (which, thanks to losing most of her powers to Ayumu, now only lasts a few seconds).
* LittleMissBadass: She was a fairly competent fighter for a girl of her size before she lost her magical girl powers.
%%* MadScientist
* MagicalGirlWarrior: She was originally a magical girl who fought monsters with a chainsaw, but she transferred her powers to Ayumu by accident.
* {{Malaproper}}: She's ''really'' bad at remembering names.
%%* MsFanservice
* TheNapoleon: She's one of the shortest girls in the main cast and is prone to subjecting Ayumu to comedic violence.
* NeverMyFault: Haruna doesn't acknowledge that it's her own actions that caused Ayumu to reveal Maelstrom's gender [[AccidentalKiss the way he did]].
* TheNicknamer: She's very bad at remembering names, so most of the time she refers to people either by a nickname ("Bayumu", "Yukinori"), or a title ("The Necromancer", "The Ninja").
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Magical Garment Girl MadScientist.
* OneNoteCook: Her fried eggs are [[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood incredible]], although putting them in water bottles is going too far. It gets hilariously subverted in Episode 8. Her boiled hijiki (seaweed) is a burnt black mess, but still manages to [[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood taste]] just as good as the eggs.
* PrettyFreeloader: Averted, since on occasion she does cook for Ayumu (usually [[OneNoteCook fried eggs]]).
* RedOniBlueOni: The red oni to Eucliwood's blue oni.
%%* ShorterMeansSmarter
* SupremeChef: The bento she makes for Ayumu is always amazing, even if there's no variety. As a result, Ayumu's classmates regularly pillage his bento and trade back from their own, which he's happy about and bemoans at the same time because there's often none of Haruna's cooking left.
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: She's small, full of herself, and bossy.
* {{Tsundere}}: Harsh type. In just one scene, she demands Ayumu to kiss her and then just as suddenly starts punching him in the face.
* TsurimeEyes: She has eyes are slanted upwards as it's typical for {{Tsundere}} character types.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Subverted due to her lack of chest.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto (Drama CD), Creator/YokoHikasa (Anime) [Japanese] and Creator/MorganGarrett [English]

A beautiful, skilled vampire ninja obsessed with her sword technique. She came to ask for Eu's help in a secret war her clan is fighting, but after losing a fight against Ayumu decided to stick around his house instead. She can make sharp objects out of leaves.
----
* ActionGirl: She regularly helps Ayumu in dealing with any stray Melgalo that appear.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She's tall, beautiful, dark-haired, aloof and composed.
* ArsonMurderAndLifesaving
-->"You're a crossdressing [[{{Catchphrase}} piece of shit]] festering in a bag of rotten garbage, but I believe in your strength."
* AtomicFBomb: When she figures out Ayumu [[spoiler:is the reason she and the rest of the girls at the indoor water park ended up wearing extremely {{stripperiffic}} swimsuits]], she yells "You are the world's biggest '''''scumbag'''''!" as she smashes his face in with her foot.
* BadassCape: She wears a black cape like a classical vampire on occasion.
* BecomingTheMask: The reason she couldn't bring herself to carry through with her mission [[spoiler:of assasinating Eu]] - she came to like them all too much.
%%* {{BFS}}
* BrickJoke: Orito guesses that she wears white panties. He was right.
* CallingYourAttacks: Slightly let down by her announcing the attack's a secret technique.
* CannotTellALie: She herself admitted it.
* CatchPhrase:
** Calling Ayumu "Kuso-mushi (Dung beetle)", or "Maggot" in the dub.
** Swallow Return Strike ("Hiken Tsubame Gaeshi")!
** How disgusting! (Kimochi warui) again to Ayumu, particularly after he transforms into a Magical Garment Girl.
* ChekhovsArmy: [[spoiler:Leads the NinjaMaid Orchestra in closing the gates of the underworld.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: She may be a vampire ninja and an AloofDarkHairedGirl, but she is on the side of good.
* DaywalkingVampire: Sunlight isn't a problem for Seraphim despite her being a vampire.
* DisneyDeath: In Episode 10 [[spoiler:she was impaled [[InTheBack from behind]] by the King of the Night. Eu, who saw everything, [[BloodMagic pricks her own finger to supply blood for her]], but Sera doesn't fully regain consciousness until she's brought back into Ayumu's house.]]
* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: Becomes a victim of the worst non-fatal in-series example of this in Episode 10 (never mind that deaths here are often bloody, [[spoiler:her eventual DisneyDeath from a separate attack by Yoruno later on included]], if not graphic). She reveals that [[spoiler:her own comrades did this to her after [[YouHaveFailedMe Sarasvati had put a hit on her as punishment for abandoning her mission to assassinate Eu]]]].
* FirstNameBasis: When not calling Aikawa a maggot, dung beetle, or otherwise leveling a new insult at him, she does call him by his first name on occasion. She does this more as the story progresses.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: You couldn't tell that Seraphim was a vampire at all if you didn't already know.
* FriendlyRivalry: She invokes this with Ayumu from time to time. When it came time for Eucliwood's birthday, the two of them made it a private contest to see which one of their gifts Eucliwood would pick. The necromancer picks Orito's gift instead, much to their surprise/disbelief.
* FunbagAirbag: Come Episode 5, after a [[KissOfTheVampire hot energy]] [[GirlOnGirlIsHot charging session]] with Haruna.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Ayumu is usually on the receiving end.
* IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:Suffers from this along with the world for a time. What makes hers interesting is the fact that she believed that her and Ayumu were a couple after seeing a photo of the two of them at an amusement park.]]
* IdolSinger: Not by choice, but only to match up to Sarasvati.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite referring to Ayato as a maggot, Seraphim deeply cares for him as well as his friends.
* LadySwearsALot: She really likes using the term "maggot" too much.
* LesbianVampire: Comes across as this in Episode 5 by way of giving Haruna a mouth-to-mouth anesthetic before sucking some blood out of her.
* LethalChef: She helps Haruna cook at the start of Episode 4, which results in something that only Ayumu can ''[[HollywoodAcid barely]]'' stomach. She gets slightly better in that the food will retain it's original shape if she tries hard enough.
* MsFanservice: Most definitely yes.
* MusicalAssassin: Uses her violin skills to [[spoiler:close the gates of the underworld.]]
* NestedOwnership: Downplayed. Seraphim offered to be Eucliwood's servant [[spoiler: so she could kill her]], but Eucliwood already had [[VoodooZombie Ayumu]] and wasn't interested in having two servants. So she became Ayumu's servant. In reality, this is just an excuse to stay around and complete her mission and she treats Ayumu like a servant rather than the other way around.
* {{Ninja}}: She comes from a village of vampires trained in ninjutsu.
* NinjaMaid: She's a vampire ninja and a maid as a part-time job for Saras.
* OnlySaneWoman: Is this to a degree since she is the most socially normal out of the girls. Matters about vampire ninja or Ayumu's perceived perverseness aside, she will display the same dumbfounded expressions that he does when confronted with either Haruna's or Saras's crazy logic on certain things.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Able to grow bat-wings that let her fly and conjure weapons from leaves. Occasionally needs to drink blood, using her kiss as an anesthetic. Apart from that, indistinguishable from a normal human and [[DaywalkingVampire can even walk under direct sunlight]].
* PerpetualFrowner: Tends to keep up this appearance in front of Ayumu, but it does slip from time to time.
* PrettyFreeloader: Subverted, for she does clean the house and attempts to cook as well.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes glow red as a warning she's ready to kick ass (usually Ayumu's).

* TomboyishPonytail: She's a ninja swordswoman who wears her hair in a ponytail.
* TownGirls: The Neither to Sarasvati's Femme and Maelstrom's Butch. She uses tough language toward Ayumu and wears slacks (usually dark blue jeans, which she's often, if not always, wearing in promotional material) more often than Sarasvati (if Sarasvati even wears any pants at all).
* {{Tsundere}}: It becomes obvious that she doesn't hate Ayumu anymore after a while, but that doesn't stop her from continuing treating him like garbage.

[[folder: Maelstrom (AKA Yuki Yoshida/Tomonori)]]
!Maelstrom
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tomonori_3.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MamikoNoto (Drama CD), Creator/HisakoKanemoto (Anime) [Japanese] and Creator/BrittneyKarbowski [English]

Another vampire ninja (from a faction which rivals Seraphim's) who fights Megalo with bowls of pork ramen. She also studies at Ayumu's school under the alias "Yuki Yoshida".
----
* AccidentalMarriage: After accidentally kissing Ayumu, she considers herself married to him (becoming the fourth girl in [[UnwantedHarem Ayumu's harem]]) thanks to the traditions of her family, but seems okay with it.
* AlliterativeName: Her schoolname is '''Y'''uki '''Y'''oshida.
* BoyishShortHair: She keeps her hair short and is quite the {{Shorttank}} to the point of talking like a boy.
* CordonBleughChef: Although she can make a decent bento, she adds all kinds of spices and seasonings so Ayumu doesn't find her food tasty.
* CovertPervert: She has some [[HadakaApron interesting]] fantasies about getting Ayumu's attention.
* DaywalkingVampire: Like other vampire ninjas, sunlight doesn't hurt her.
* EarlyBirdCameo: In Episode 1, she was among the students taking pictures of Ayumu in drag; in Episode 2, while warming up for PE; and in Episode 5, leaving a ramen shop as [[spoiler:Kyoko, who apparently slit her throat the previous episode,]] walks by.
* EdibleAmmunition: She is somehow able to dispel a Megalo by covering them in tonkotsu ramen, a kind of pork soup, and even had a machine which sprays the ramen soup in case of a Megalo emergency.
* EmbarrassingNickname: She doesn't take too kindly to her new, tomboyish-sounding nickname "Tomonori" from Orito, but is fine with Ayumu using it (except for one moment of shock from [[spoiler:nearly dying]] in episode 9), since she found his alternative -- "Yuki-chan" -- even more embarrassing.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Like Seraphim, Maelstrom is a friendly vampire who doesn't attack anyone without reason.
* HiddenBuxom: Played with. Her clothes seem rather indecisive if they want to hide her E cups or not at any given time. Ayumu notes in the novels that she dresses to hide her actual bust size in school and when operating in the field, but didn't bother when out on a date.
* HighPressureEmotion: Her head turns completely red when she's embarrassed.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Bowls. Of. ''Pork''. ''Ramen''.
* InSeriesNickname: "Tomonori", from Orito. It's an [[AlternateCharacterReading alternate reading]] of her civilian alias.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: She can be mistaken for a boy, depending on what she's wearing.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Masculine Girl to Ayumu's Feminine Boy. During their summary marriage ceremony (which was purely accidental, never mind that she claims it to be legit), he was the one who had to wear the wedding dress.
* MeaningfulRename: Subverted. Vampire ninjas are given a new name when they finish their training and are transformed into a vampire, but it turns out "Maelstrom" [[spoiler:came from a monster's attack in a video game that her faction's leader was playing at the time and thought sounded cool]]. She came up with the "Yuki Yoshida" name for public use simply because she thought it sounded suitably girly.
* {{Mon}}: [[spoiler:Apparently has the Magical Garment Girls' ultimate weapon bonded to her. When she gets squashed by a giant kappa doll in episode 9, it triggers the invocation ritual, and it takes a CooldownHug to prevent things from getting apocalyptic.]]
* MusicalAssassin: Assists Sera and Sarasvati in [[spoiler:closing the gates of the underworld]] with a triangle.
* {{Ninja}}: She's from the vampire ninja village.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Her race of vampire ninjas look and act like humans in general. She lacks typical vampire weaknesses as she can walk under the sun without problem.
* PowerIncontinence: She has a [[PlayingWithFire flame spirit]] inside her, named Mysticore. When she loses her control, it will take over her consciousness and go on a rampage, destroying everything nearby.
* SignatureHeadgear: The right side of her hair to be tied up using two small shuriken which are StockNinjaWeaponry.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: At first, she only acts as Ayumu's wife because of their AccidentalMarriage, she eventually falls for Ayumu due to his kind personality.
* ThroughHisStomach: Following the advice of her friends, she makes a bento for Ayumu so she can be a good "wife" to him. Her bento looks actually nice... until she adds a pile of spices and sauces as "final touches".
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She has BoyishShortHair and talks like a boy, but she has a typical girly wish of being a good wife.
* TomboyishName: Her nickname "Tomonori", which is based on the AlternateCharacterReading of her civilian alias, is a masculine Japanese name. It adds to her tomboy traits.
* TomboyishVoice: She speaks in a vaguely low voice to match her masculine manner of speech.
* TownGirls: The Butch to Seraphim's Neither and Sarasvati's Femme. Although both she and Seraphim are seen wearing pants (in Sera's case, this also includes jumpsuits, as seen in the first OVA) in nearly every, if not every, episode, Maelstrom is definitely a {{Tomboy}} that is often mistaken for a boy depending on what she's [[HiddenBuxom wearing]] at the moment.
* {{Tsundere}}: Sweet type as she only gets tsun-tsun around Ayumu. She's only trying to be Ayumu's wife because of their AccidentalMarriage so don't be getting the wrong idea because of her face getting all red when he's nice to her.
* UnwantedSpouse: She's technically married to Ayumu because they shared an AccidentalKiss and to a female vampire ninja, kissing a man is equivalent to a wedding. Ayumu doesn't give a damn about her tribe's codes and would like to at least start as friends instead of jumping right into marriage.

* HiddenBuxom: She looks almost flat when she's wearing her normal clothes but when she's in her idol outfit we see she's anything but flat.
* HimeCut: She has blunt bangs, bra strap length sidelocks, and hip length straight hair. At first glance, her hair style indicates a regal lady but then she gets hammy, starts the {{Stripperiffic}} idol stuff or gets fixated on Ayumu's backside.
* HypocriticalHumor: She criticizes Seraphim for not following the vampire-ninja code to the letter. She herself is an IdolSinger, which is probably an even greater offense -- one she [[LoopholeAbuse conveniently explains away]] as a mission requiring outside contact.
* IdolSinger: She has a part-time idol job as "Lovely Kira".

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Like other vampire ninjas, Sarasvati isn't that different from a human other than having some magical abilities and doesn't show any vampire weaknesses.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes glow red when she shows her vampiric nature.
* TownGirls: The Femme to Seraphim's Neither and Maelstrom's Butch. Compared to Sera and Maelstrom, she rarely, if ever, uses tough language or wears pants.

** Averted in Episode 8 of Season 2, where she outright states that even she's confused by these feelings for him, after stabbing him yet again with her sword. She then tells him her punishment is to be forgotten by everyone, but he promises her he won't, no matter how much time passes.

----
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:He simply wants Eu, who still treats him as a friend, to end his misery, going so far as to harm her friends just to provoke her.]]
* BigBad: For the first three light novel volumes and the first anime... [[AntiVillain sort of]]. He is responsible for everything that happened starting with Ayumu's death.
* BreakingSpeech:
** Delivers a one to Eu about how her powers can only cause death and misery to others, all to provoke her into [[DeathSeeker ending his immortality-induced misery]].

--->"In time, you will understand the hardships of living an immortal life."

* KickTheDog: A particularly fatal moment is in episode 10, in which he succeeds at what Sarasvati's subordinates had earlier failed to do when he ambushes and actually ''kills'' Seraphim. [[SpannerInTheWorks Good thing Eu was on hand to supply her blood to bring her back]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HitomiNabatame (as Chris) and Creator/DaisukeKishio (as "Takeshi") [Japanese], Creator/StephanieSheh (as Chris) and Creator/KentWilliams (as "Takeshi") [English]

A pink-haired girl who often shows up drunken in the school infirmary. In reality, she was a Magical Garment Girl currently under the Queen's Curse following a failed coup she led (and Ariel concocted) against Queen Lilian Lilith a century before Ayumu's death.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the anime, the worst she does is launch her students into suborbital flight, and even then she teleports them safely back to the ground. In the light novels, however, the first thing she does after revealing her true nature and stealing Haruna's power is kill Saras and [[AndIMustScream seal Ayumu in a parallel dimension]], [[ForTheEvulz for no apparent reason other than to prove that she's top dog]]. They barely manage to get out alive, if only for the help of [[spoiler:the Demon Baron]]. In Volume 7, she tries to destroy Tokyo with one of Ariel's bombs so Ariel would get arrested by the queen of Villiers.
* AffablyEvil: Although she was a leader in a failed coup, in Season 2 of the anime at least, she isn't depicted as particularly evil. At least compared to the King of the Night, who brainwashed Kyouko who then killed people and stole their souls. She even considered Ayumu to be a potential drinking buddy due to their interactions in earlier episodes, at least until he finds out how crazy she is. She also teleports the students she launched into the air safely back on the ground before leaving as well. And near the end of Season 2, Chris even hangs out with Naegleria, and both of them seem fairly friendly towards each other despite their past as bitter enemies. It should be pointed that at this point, she only qualifies as evil if you don't know what Magic Garment Girls do on [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide regular]] [[LeaveNoSurvivors basis]].
* BigBad: She's the main villain from the fourth volume onwards and ''Of the Dead''.
* BrokenPedestal: She used to be Ariel's mentor.
* TheDreaded: In-universe, she's referred to as a powerful MagicalGirl, if not the most powerful, by many characters, including Seraphim and Ariel. The latter even mentions that she would lose in a fight against her former teacher if it really boiled down to it. Although in the past she tried to overthrow the queen, the most she ever does in Season 2 of the anime is launch some students into the air, and then launches Ayumu back a bit with some wine tossed in his general direction after he tries to attack her. She never actually harms any of them either, and teleports them back to the ground shortly as she teleports away.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears toward the end of Episode 12. She has no lines.
* ElegantGothicLolita: She's dressed in a Shiro Lolita outfit decorated with frills and ribbons.
* GenderBender: Under the Queen's Curse, she becomes a middle-aged man named "Takeshi Kurusu". She can only temporarily turn back into a girl when she's drunk.
* GoodWearsWhite: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Her outfit is completely white, but she assumes the role of BigBad after being freed from her curse.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Ayumu always finds her drunk. This is also her only way to break free of being cursed into a man's body, if only for a while. In Episode 7 of ''Of the Dead'', her keyword for chanting spells is basically a reversed "Enjoy alcohol responsibly. Drink in moderation. Don't drink until you're twenty years of age."
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Ayumu believes her to be just a product of his imagination at first.
* {{Revenge}}: She wants to take revenge against Ariel.
* RoseHairedSweetie: She has pink hair and she appears very cute and cheerful, but subverted as she's a powerful Magic Garment Girl and the main antagonist of Season 2.
* ThirdPersonPerson: She refers to herself in third person.

[[folder: The Demon Baron]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToruOkawa [Japanese] and Creator/MikeMcFarland [English]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/demon_baron.png]]

A middle-aged man who gives Ayumu a ring that allows Tomonori to control the weapon inside her, and later fills the position of his homeroom teacher when Chris leaves. He's actually the Chief of the Vampire Ninjas, who was cursed a hundred years ago to always be on the verge of death for participating in Ariel's failed rebellion, and then presumed dead. As a result, he tends to vomit large quantities of blood.
----
* BloodFromTheMouth: A side effect of his curse. Played completely for laughs.
* DemotedToExtra: In the Anime, he disappears after Ayumu gives Tomonori her ring, and his role as Chris's substitute teacher is taken by Ariel.
* DoctorsOrders: His doctor tells him not to do a wide variety of things, from thinking about cute girls to [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall giving]] {{Foreshadowing}}. He always forgets these orders until after he starts vomiting blood.
* MonsterProgenitor: The first Vampire Ninja.
* ProperlyParanoid: While attending the first Vampire Ninja reunion since his disappearance, he doesn't trust anyone at the party without Ayumu whitelisting them first. Which is pretty smart, since many of the attendees are masters of subterfuge and assassination who may not appreciate him taking a hundred-year-long sick leave without telling anyone.
* TouchedByVorlons: He became the first Vampire Ninja by drinking Eu's blood.
* VampireMonarch: The head of the Vampire Ninja clan.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AmiKoshimizu [Japanese] and Creator/StephanieYoung [English]

A yaoi doujinshi and an old friend of Eucliwood. She is also the one who drafted the concoction Chris uses to temporarily transform her back to her old self, as well as a member of Eucliwood's seven paladins.

%%* MsFanservice
%%* RetiredBadass
* TheTease: After she realizes that Haruna was extremely upset because of a misconception between her and Ayumu, Naegleria plays that part up, saying that a guy should be able to do whatever he wants with a woman. This doesn't go well with any of the women living with him, and Seraphim swings her sword down on his head. Ayumu for his part, was completely innocent.
