[[WMG: '''Hime''']]
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princess_resurrection_hime.png]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyakoKawasumi (anime), Creator/SaoriHayami (OVA) (JP), Creator/ShelleyCaleneBlack (EN)
The titular character of the series. She is the second royal princess, daughter of the king of all monsters. She appears as a young aristocratic woman wearing Gothic clothing. Her real name is [[spoiler: Lilliane]] but she dislikes people calling her by it. Although her siblings are busy fighting for the throne, she shows no interest in it. She resurrects Hiro on a whim after he dies, thinking him interesting enough to be her servant.
-----
* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler:Decides she will use her newfound freedom and life to [[BigBrotherInstinct better Sherwood's chances of survival for the next Fight]].]]
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler:Is forced into this against Silvia. With Hiro's help, she wins.]]
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:She doesn't join up with the Phoenix and eventually she, Silvia and Fuhito lose their Phoenix powers, meaning [[EarnYourHappyEnding they no longer have to participate in the Succession fights if they don't want to.]]]]
* ChainsawGood: It's become her iconic weapon.
* DarkIsNotEvil: She dresses in all black, but she is a NiceGirl (really, ''really underneath'')and TheHeroine of the story.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Think about it. She's called "Princess Hime" and "Hime" is Japanese for princess.
%%* DoNotCallMePaul: [[spoiler: Lilliane]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Is alive and no longer eligible for the Succession fight at the end of the story.]]
* ElegantClassicalMusician: She's a skilled pianist and a songwriter.
%%* ElegantGothicLolita
%%* FemmeFatalons
* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: [[spoiler:Hime does this to herself, prompting her past self to keep her decision to make Hiro a Blood Warrior.]]
* FullNameBasis: [[spoiler:Because she is no longer a princess and [[DoNotCallMePaul Severin is dead,]] Hime goes back to being known by her real name, Lilliane von Phoenix.]]
* HairAntennae: [[spoiler:After being BroughtDownToNormal.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She sometimes acts like a jerk to her friends, but really does care for them.
* TheKirk: Of the Princesses. She rarely seems stressed about anything but people note that some of her actions are quite strange and rash.
* LadyAndKnight: The Bright Lady to Hiro's White Knight, especially emphasized in later chapters.
%%* LadyOfWar
* MamaBear: To her friends and servants, [[SugarAndIcePersonality as quiet as she keeps it.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Hime" is Japanese for "Princess".
* MrExposition: On occasion, TheStoic one.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Wields different types of weapons against monsters.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: Her previous Blood Knights all died to save her.]]
* OfferedTheCrown: [[spoiler:[[WisePrince Emile]] at least thinks she should become the next ruler. She ultimately declines.]]
%%* TheOjou
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As she's a Royal.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Hime is an ShelteredAristocrat, so she never helps with any work that doesn't involve killing something. She also didn't know how to use a modern cell phone - Hime stated that Flandre to use it for her. This also explains why she is always reading when everyone else is playing videogames.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Severin. It [[VillainousBreakdown works]].
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Played with. Hime has NO interest in the throne. But when she gets attacked, Hime is just as likely to fight back as Hiro is to protect her. Also, she will protect and assist her "subjects" and the local town.
* ShooTheDog: [[spoiler:Turns Hiro into a Flame Warrior so that he won't have to help her fight anymore since she's very nearly immortal in chapter 83.]]
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Death itself is hunting Hime. At chapter 66, Death’s servant explains why:
--> … You’re quite strong, Your Highness. You still haven’t escaped from the effects on your body… you should be in so much pain that you cannot stand, [[TheStoic but your firm posture…]] You really are wonderful, your Highness...! It’s all because of you. Your soul is so noble, we have to take you in no matter what…!
* TheStoic: Read the whole manga carefully again. No matter if you are trying to kill her, or how dramatic your BigEntrance is, or if you’re explaining her YouHaveNoChanceToSurvive. Hime’s only gestures are PerpetualSmiler, PerpetualFrowner and DeathGlare. Except when [[spoiler: someone is attempting a HeroicSacrifice for her]], [[SugarAndIcePersonality that's the only time her face will reveal emotion]].
%%* SugarAndIcePersonality
* * TeaIsClassy: Hime is often seen relaxing with a cup of tea in hand. She often compliments Sawawa on her Earl Grey. And she's been known to invite Reiri to join her on the veranda for tea in the moonlight.
* WhiteSheep: The only royal who has no interest in becoming King.
* WreathedInFlames: [[spoiler:After gaining Phoenix powers. She's still not an adult though.]]

[[WMG: '''Hiro Hiyorimi''']]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hirohiyorimi.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/FuyukaOura (anime), Creator/MiyuIrino (OVA) (JP), Creator/BlakeShepard (EN)
The protagonist who dies at the beginning of the series (in the manga he was hit by the station wagon that swerved into him after Flandre got in front of it, whereas in the anime he is hit by a falling iron pillar). He finds himself in Hime's service as he is bound to her because her blood revived him. Though young and not very strong, Hiro manages to assist Hime (mostly by being a human shield) through his "half-immortality" that was given to him after his resurrection.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''H'''iro '''H'''iyorimi.
* BadassAdorable: The few times he's spotlighted, he's so unsure of himself or worried about Hime.
%%* BattleButler
* BodyguardCrush: Possibly. Either that or it's just the whole Blood Warrior thing making him a tad clingy.
* ButtMonkey: At the beginning of the series, at least.
* CharacterDevelopment: In the manga. [[spoiler:He went from a wimp only useful as HumanShield to a {{Determinator}}, full of UndyingLoyalty towards his Royal, enough to deny himself of dying to prolong his life in a BadFuture, not going away even when his Royal [[ShooTheDog gives him the capacity and option to do so]] and TimeTravel back ''the whole storyline'' to reunite the other Himes's power to aid the current; all for the sake of saving Hime.]] He at the end, is acknowledged as ''the greatest Blood Warrior''.
* ColorFailure: An interesting version (at least in the manga). All the colour is "drained" out of him whenever Hime is in danger. [[spoiler: This is due to him being a blood warrior. His hair and skin actually becomes albino pale and obtains GlowingEyesOfDoom in active blood warrior mode.]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Can be ''plenty'' badass when the time calls for it.
* FlatCharacter: There isn't much character development to him outside of learning the ways of the monster world. Half the time he's just following Hime around or happens to be in an area of monster activity.
* FutureBadass: You better believe it. If the bad future is anything to show.
* GondorCallsForAid: [[spoiler:In chapter 86, Princess Princess, when Hiro sees Hime losing the BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind against Silvia and Fuhito, he decides to traverse the series' timeline and acquire help from all of the Himes who died such as the pod-person Hime, the BadFuture Hime and the Bad Past Hime… [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome It works and Hime overwhelms Silvia.]]]]
* TheHeart: The need to protect Hiro is the thing that let all the girls work together.
* HellishPupils: Whenever Hime is in danger.
* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: He dies at least once a chapter.
%%* KillItWithFire
* LadyAndKnight: The White Knight to Hime's Bright Lady, especially emphasized in later chapters.
* MrExposition: He's a ButtMonkey, but still manages to deduce something and explain it.
* NiceGuy: He's pretty much of a nice guy in this series. Due to his caring and selflessness, some of the beautiful girls such as Hime, Reiri, and Sherwood develop feelings for him.
%%* OnlySaneMan: Sometimes.
* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:Hime turns him into a Flame Warrior like Emile did with Keziah. [[KillItWithFire Hiro then burns Kiniski alive back to death.]]]]
* PsychicLink: Between him and Hime.
%%* TookALevelInBadass: In the manga.
%%* TheWatson
* {{UST}}: Not sure how to look at this with Hime, but a possible interpretation.

[[WMG: '''Riza Wildman''']]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rizawildman.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoKaida (anime), Creator/EriKitamura (OVA) (JP), Creator/LuciChristian (EN)
A half-breed tomboy girl who has a werewolf father, called Volg Wildman, and a human mother. Being of mixed blood, Riza can only transform her arms up to her elbow and her physical combat capabilities can't compare to that of a pure breed, though she is many times stronger than a normal human.
----
* ActionGirl: By virtue of being a werewolf warrior.
* BadassAdorable: She may be cute, but she rips monsters apart like they're nothing.
* BadassBiker: Occasionally.
* BareMidriffsAreFeminine
* BashBrothers: Frequently teams up with Hiro.
%%* BloodKnight
* ButchLesbian: With all the ShipTease she and Reiri have...
* CatchPhrase: ''[[IAmXSonOfY I am Riza Wildman, daughter of the great warrior, Volg Wildman!]]''
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: she attempts to make Sasanaki's dog population into warriors to defend themselves from vets and dogcatchers. It doesn't work, usually.
* CuteBruiser: Doesn't look as dangerous as she really is, up until her arms turn into massive wolf arms.
%%* CuteLittleFangs
* GamerChick: Plays with Hiro sometimes. Ironically, she [[IDontKnowMortalKombat Doesn't Know Mortal Kombat]] (Hiro says she never bothered to read the instructions). She even lampshades the irony that Hiro is good at the game but, at this point in time, is useless in real life.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Riza gets this from time to time from full-blood werewolves, such as the trio that attempted to attack the mansion. One of them even asked her if her father was in wolf-form or human-form when she was conceived. Her brother, however, willingly gave his life to protect her (he was full-werewolf), and Keziah, also a full werewolf, seems to treat her with respect. She gets some taunts from full-blooded werewolves in monster jail, until she '''EARNS''' their respect by taking down a powerful vampire.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Half-human, half-werewolf.
* HotBlooded: Not actually [[IdiotHero stupid]] but she occasionally does things on impulse that, [[FridgeLogic had she actually stopped to think about them]], she'd never do.
* IdiotBall: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Riza herself in the second OVA when preparing to ram the train. She remarks that if she thought about it, it would be a bad idea, but that thinking about it wasn't her thing.
%%** Literally holds it in ''Princess Seabed.''
%%** She gets smacked with it [[spoiler:invading Duken's castle.]]
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: If her catchphrase where she boasts about her father being a great warrior wasn't indicative enough.
* SirSwearsALot: Swears like a sailor,and practically uses ''no'' feminine vocabulary whatsoever in her speech in the Japanese version save the gender-neutral "watashi."
* SpellMyNameWithanS: Riza vs. Liza vs. Lisa etc.
%%* {{Tomboy}}
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: With Reiri.
* {{Tsundere}}: Hiro often gets the brunt of her "dere" side. And Reiri the "tsun".
* VitriolicBestBuds: Eventually admits that, personality quirks aside, she and Reiri don't really hate each other and are pretty much friends.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler:Is exiled from the Werewolf society along with her two wolf friends for associating with Reiri. [[AngstWhatAngst They don't really mind since it means they get to work with Hime forever.]]]]

[[WMG: '''Reiri Kamura''']]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reirikamura.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MamikoNoto (anime), Creator/AkiToyosaki (OVA) (JP), Creator/EmilyNeves (EN)
A female vampire who attends the same school as Hiro. She has long black hair, always dresses in a dark sailor fuku, and has idol status in her school. At first, she greatly detests Riza but their relations change gradually for the better. Other than the blood from Royalty, she also prefers blood from virgins, girls and "cute" guys.
-----
* ActionGirl: When she feels like it.
* AdaptationalModesty: Has a good many panty shots in the manga. None in the anime, though. Indeed, foreshadowed by the opening, where her skirt is in danger of being blown up, and she holds it in place.
* AnArmAndALeg: Manga only, but when she was attacked by a large group of vampires sent by Kinsiki, she got her leg cut off. Though being a vampire, it didn't bother her much and she was even able to re-attach it once Hiro retrieved it for it with no ill-effects.
* {{Animorphism}}: As a vampire she has the "swarm of bats" variant.
%%* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:In chapters 82 and 83.]]
* CuteLittleFang: Comes with the territory.
%%* EvenTheGirlsWantHer
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: And she's really friendly too, especially with Hiro.
%%* HimeCut: Ironically.
* HypnoticEyes: And hell are they creepy.
%%* {{Joshikousei}}
* LadyOfWar: When compared to [[CuteBruiser Riza,]] anyway. Not as much as Hime though.
* LesbianVampire: Hasn't been actually stated, but there's enough evidence...In fact, when her 'old friend' Greta visits her, she and Reiri greet eachother by clasping hands and stroking one another's faces.
* LovableCoward: She's braver and a bit more loyal than most vampires, but she is not above fleeing a fight if it's going badly for her. She will, however, always run towards a non-combat solution to the problem. Even if that's "find someone who can fight."
* MagicSkirt: Horribly (or wonderfully, YMMV) averted. See Panty Shot below.
* MinoredInAsskicking: Fighting isn't one of Reiri's hobbies. [[ActionGirl Not that she can't deliver a beatdown anyway.]]
* MrExposition: The InsufferableGenius type.
* MsFanservice: Due to the several panty shots she gets.
%%* OurVampiresAreDifferent
* TheStarscream: Subverted; she's rather loyal, even though she'll tell you she isn't. [[spoiler: To the point of taking TheSlowPath into a BadFuture and getting killed in order to give Hime a message to send back in time.]] This surprises a lot of Royals, as vampires do not make for loyal servants.
* ShipTease: TONS with Riza.
* VampireDetectiveSeries: [[spoiler: She is either one or likes pretending to be one. Her specialty is investigation and does solve the mystery she is assigned to.]]

[[WMG: '''Nakua''']]

--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiromiKonno (OVA)
An "evil" spider deity initially responsible for the disappearance of students at Hiro and Reiri's school, she is eventually stopped by Reiri and Riza. After failing to get back at the pair (and by extension Hime, for being their patron), she settles into a sort-of cooperative relationship with the residents of Hime's mansion after the latter builds a shrine to her in the mansion's backyard. Is pretty much the de-facto guardian deity of Sasanaki at the moment.
----
%%* AGodAmI
* DefeatEqualsFriendship: She tries to [[spoiler:trap Hime and her entourage in prehistoric times in response to Riza and Reiri impeding on her human offerings.]] This fails. Later on, when her temple is destroyed, Hime allows her to set up on her new temple in Hime's backyard. She has two spider servants, Jiroumaru and Taroumaru.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Nakua protected Reiri’s school and only wanted some girls as a sacrifice. When a super storm threatens the city, Nakua [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly is waiting to get more presents in her Shrine to do something about it]]. Given she provides a service to the human community, in return that community owes her both respect and sacrifices. She has the same mentality that a {{Yakuza}} boss.
* FantasyCounterpartMyth: She is based on the Creator/HPLovecraft creation of Atlach-Nacha from the Lovecraft Mythos.
%%* GiantSpider
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: And she's a bit pissed she hasn't been getting any lately.
* HeelFaceTurn: Tried to kill the heroes twice now, but now she's on their side.
* HumanoidAbomination: Usually looks like a young girl with long black hair.
* ImAHumanitarian: She clashes with Hime, Reiri and Riza on this. Not that it makes her a bad person. She was just taking 'offerings' as she has to eat. Now, she accepts offerings from a little shrine...though she complains about how Sawawa makes them.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: she's not ''nice'' but she doesn't eat people out of malice. She also displays genuine, if grudging, concern towards Hime and her group. Plus, she has a soft spot for Sawawa.
%%* LittleMissBadass
%%* LittleMissSnarker
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Spider limbs sprout out of her head when she decides to fight.
* MrExposition: Another TheStoic one, as Risa compares her with Hime.
%%* OurGodsAreDifferent
%%* PeoplePuppets
%%* PetTheDog: Occasionally.
* SpiderPeople: Well, a god but still counts.
* VillainsOutShopping: Well, "Noble Demon Gods Out Shopping." In her spare time, she supervises the building of a bridge between worlds. Why? 'Cause. This is more likely to be a reference to her counterpart in the Franchise/CthulhuMythos.

[[WMG: '''Sherwood''']]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sherwood_6.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiShimizu (JP), Creator/HilaryHaag (EN)
Hime's younger sister. She once harbored bad feelings towards Hime, but later reconciled, and has a rather obvious crush on Hiro and will almost do anything to make him her servant. After that she moved in to a mansion on the hill opposite Hime's mansion.
-----
* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler:Is the last living Royal at the end of the story, technically making her the winner, though she knows in a decade or so, the fights will start again. [[CrazyPrepared So she's preparing.]]]]
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: At first...in series. YMMV on whether or not her Heel Face Turn made her less "annoying".
* BigBrotherWorship: Of Hime, after her HeelFaceTurn.
%%* CuteLittleFang
* DisneyDeath: In chapter 77 due to exposing her body to the spore cloud and adapting to it, fresh air become lethal to her and she nearly dies if not [[spoiler: for Hime saving her with her newfound phoenix power.]]
* GreenThumb: She controls triffids.
* HeelFaceTurn: In a way. She's no longer out to kill Hime, but she doesn't exactly "help" her either.
* LadyOfAdventure: Usually when we see Sherwood in-story, she, Francesca and Ryu-Ryu are off on a field investigation/expedition.
%%* LittleMissBadass
* TheMcCoy: Of the Princesses. Understandable since she's the youngest Royal and it's shown that when she was around that age, [[GenerationXerox Hime wasn't too much different.]]
* MrExposition: Another InsufferableGenius type.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: [[spoiler:While it's not so surprising that [[WhiteSheep Hime and Emile]] refused to kill her, Sherwood muses that the only reason she survived is because most of her siblings were too noble to take the direct route and just straight-up murder her.]]
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
* TomboyishPonytail: Her ponytail.
* TomboyPrincess: She really likes her field investigations.
* UnexpectedSuccessor: [[spoiler:The only Royal who survives.]]

[[WMG: '''Flandre''']]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flandre_7.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShihoKawaragi (anime), Creator/YukaIguchi (OVA)(JP), Bree Welch (EN)
Hime's personal android. She is small, unlike the other androids, but is ''extremely'' strong for her size.
-----
* [[AccidentalHero Accidental Heroine]]: Flandre's anime-only rampage across Sasanaki city unintentionally ends up helping people.
%%* BadassAdorable
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Inverted. She's actually a competent driver. [[BadassDriver Some of the situations in which she has to drive, however...]]
%%* GlacierWaif
* InSeriesNickname: Sherwood refers to her as "The Shrimp Maid"/"Shrimpette".
%%* {{Meido}}
%%* RidiculouslyHumanRobot
* RobotGirl: Just like her "siblings".
* RobotMaid: Duh.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Frandre? Flandore?
%%* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids
* ThemeNaming: With the rest of her "siblings."
* VerbalTic: Hooba / huga / fuga.

[[WMG: '''Sawawa Hiyorimi''']]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sawawahiyorimi.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoMinaguchi (anime), Creator/AiKayano (OVA)(JP), Creator/MonicaRial (EN)
Hiro's older sister and Hime's (human) maid. Hiro moves in with her at the beginning of the series, which triggers his meeting with Hime.
------
%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* TheEmpath: In the anime she often senses when Hiro is in danger. [[SubvertedTrope And then dismisses it as nothing.]]
* {{Meido}}: Her job in Hime's mansion.
* UnfazedEveryman: Not that she's [[WeirdnessCensor aware of it.]]
* WeirdnessCensor: Seriously. Does she ''ever'' notice any of the supernatural happenings around Hime's house? The one time she does notice anything weird at all is when Hime gets cloned... which Sawawa passes off as her being tired. Oh well, at least she doesn't get [[DamselInDistress underfoot in the action.]]

[[WMG:'''Francesca''']]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/francesca_8.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/RikaMorinaga (JP), Creator/StephanieWittels (EN)
Sherwood's personal gynoid and caretaker. She has the appearance of a young, glasses-wearing woman.
----
%%* ActionGirl
* GunsAkimbo: Not really but she tends to flick pebbles and rocks from her hands in this manner.
%%* {{Meido}}
%%* NinjaMaid
%%* RidiculouslyHumanRobot
%%* RobotGirl
%%* RobotMaid
%%* TheStoic
%%* ThemeNaming
* SuperStrength: She can flick pellets or rocks at the same speed of a gunshot.
* VerbalTic: Again, another android that says only "Fuga"/"Hooba." She is smarter than Flandre though.

[[WMG: '''Ryu-Ryu''']]
[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryuryu.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Akio Kato (JP), Leraldo Anzaldua (EN)
Sherwood's blood warrior. He's a Panda. [[MoveAlongNothingToSeeHere Yup.]]
----
* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: Subverted. Sherwood doesn't even try to hide Ryu, and nobody calls her out on the fact that owning a panda as a pet is illegal. Until chapter 35, where she's arrested for violating the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CITES Washington Convention.]]
* BashBrothers: With his fellow pandas that Sherwood bought from the zoo. Just go with it.
%%* BattleButler
* {{Berserker}}: Very much so. One time he killed a giant snake by landing on it. Only to break his neck from the landing. Even Riza, who isn't known for her tactical prowess, called him wreckless.
* ColorFailure: As with all Blood warriors. His black fur even turns white, making some people mistake him for a polar bear at times.
%%* HellishPupils
%%* ImmortalLifeIsCheap
%%* MightyGlacier
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Eucalyptus.

[[WMG: '''Nozomi "Buchi" Kobuchizawa''']]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nozomikobuchizawa.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Naru Kawamoto, Creator/HiroshiOkamoto (OVA) (JP), Creator/GregAyres (EN)
Hiro's friend from school. Obsessed with the occult. Seems to have a crush on Francesca.
----
* ButtMonkey: Amusing things happen to Buchi.
* LargeHam: Especially when he's playing MrExposition in his videos.
* RedundantResearcher: He knows a lot about the ancient misteries, but he only solves them with the protagonists
* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler:Was once [[DemonicPossession taken over]] by an extradimensional intelligence that was later sealed inside him by Reiri, which eventually gives him...]]
%%* ShockAndAwe
%%* UnfazedEveryman
%%* UnluckyEverydude
* WeirdnessCensor: Notably the only recurring human who [[AvertedTrope DOESN'T]] have one.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Smart enough to notice something weird's going on, not smart enough to know why.

[[folder:Prince Severin and his entourage]]

[[WMG: '''Severin''']]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/severin.jpg]]
--> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/KenyuHoriuchi (anime), Creator/HiroakiHirata (JP), Kalob Martinez (EN)
One of Hime's siblings, a self-important coward who will use any means to remain the last one standing. It is hinted that he was the one who ordered the attack that decimated Hime's forces prior to the story via unleashing a ZombieApocalypse on her holdings, and he tries to do so ''again''.
----
* BadBoss: His blood warrior, Mikasa, is a woman he killed himself.
* BlackSheep: Hime doesn't always have a winning personality, but she and Sherwood are ultimately kind hearted and noble people. Emile is caring, loyal and brave, and Gilliam is respectful to his followers and an honorable warrior. While she is utterly ruthless, vain, arrogant and a bit cruel, Silvia is not wantonly sadistic and doesn't really cause collateral damage. Severin is a cruel, nasty little coward who causes ''tons'' of needless deaths to get what he wants.
* DirtyCoward: Hime has no qualms about calling him as such, pointing out that even little Sherwood was ready to risk her life, while he hid behind his little tricks as to not get in the line of fire.
%%* TheEvilPrince
* {{Foil}}: To Hime, Emile and Gilliam: Hime is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold an occasionally smug but ultimately noble heroine]] and at their absolute worst, Emile and Gilliam are well-intentioned {{Anti Villain}}s. Severin is NONE of these things.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's unbearably smug and loves to boast about his superiority.
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: By Hime.]]
* TheKirk: Compared to [[TheMcCoy Gilliam]] and [[TheSpock Emile]]. Not a nice Kirk, however.
* LadyAndKnight: Befitting his role as Hime's foil, Severin and Mikasa are an evil genderflipped version with him as the Dark Lord and Mikasa his Black Knight.
* MistressAndServantBoy: Gender-inverted: He and Mikasa seem to have this dynamic, mixed with BadBoss. The way he gives her blood is rather... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything suspect.]]
* [[spoiler:OutGambitted]]: [[spoiler:He ''really'' underestimated Hime...]]
* SmugSnake: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Hime herself.
--> '''Hime:''' You've always been a weak-minded coward.
* VillainousBreakdown: When he sees that his underhanded tricks don't work on Hime, he gets ''angry''. [[spoiler:Just as Hime planned, as his rage causes him to drop his guard and get killed.]]

[[WMG:'''Franz''']]
Severin's android bodyguard, he looks like a tall man dressed in a tuxedo with a cybernetic left eye.

[[quoteright:316:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c48e3932533f2853b82aec2ed98ff201.png]]
--> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/SayakaOhara (anime) (JP), Creator/StephanieWittels (EN)
Severin's blood warrior, Mikasa is a woman that Severin killed then revived via his blood. Mikasa is much more deadlier than your usual Blood Warrior, by virtue of the "modifications" done on her by the Fly Man. [[spoiler:At Severin's death, she becomes Silvia's Blood Warrior instead.]]
----
* AntiVillain: Compared to [[CardCarryingVillain her master]] anyway.
* BigSisterInstinct: [[spoiler:She takes up with Severin and later Silvia, for the sake of her ill little sister.]]
* CombatTentacles: [[spoiler:After being modified.]]
%%* DarkActionGirl
* MixAndMatchCritters: [[spoiler:Severin had her body modified while she was his blood warrior. Fly Man is also doing some experiments on her.]]

[[WMG:'''Fly Man''']]
An anthromorphic fly scientist. He is first introduced trying to "sell" the fruits of his research to Hime (meaning he took her hostage to force her to buy them from him, or die if she refused). He works for Severin at first, but [[spoiler:Silvia]] eventually becomes his financial patroness, and as such he makes things on her request, whenever he isn't pursuing his own independent research that is.
----
%%* BigCreepyCrawlies
* CaptainErsatz: He essentially a mix of the [[Film/TheFly1958 classic]] and the [[Film/TheFly1986 Jeff Goldblum-played character]] of ''The Fly''.
* EnigmaticMinion: He has won Zeppeli's recognition as a brave operator. He is onto something, but nobody is sure what.
%%* ForScience
%%* MadScientist
* MixAndMatchCritters: All of his creatures seem to be some form of insects, among other things.

Quiet and brooding, Emile is one of Hime's older brothers. Seemingly plagued with a weak consitution, his powerful PsychicPowers, including telekenesis and limited clairvoyance, more than makes up for this. Like Sherwood he is not openly antagonistic with Hime, but will not aid her either (directly anyway).
----

* PsychicPowers: Seems to have telekinesis. [[spoiler:He uses it to deflect a WaveMotionGun from hitting an AfterlifeExpress.]] Using it really takes a toll on him. He can also see into the future for a limited amount of time.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:He's been made into a blood warrior.]]
* ShooTheDog: [[spoiler:Thanks to his PsychicPowers, he seems to do this twice in one shot: upon realizing that his plot to become an adult and end the succession fights failed, Keziah and Sledge are killed, the mermaid becomes Silvia's blood servant. Emile resurrects Keziah with fire magic for the express purpose of making the mermaid into a Flame Warrior. When Keziah fulfills his purpose, royal blood becomes useless to the mermaid and Keziah himself dies immediately afterwards. Thus none of his servants are in play for the upcoming war between the Royals.]]

[[WMG:'''Keziah Bold''']]

--> '''Voiced by:''' Hiroki Touchi (anime), Creator/YuuichiNakamura (OVA) (JP), Creator/JayHickman (EN)
A werewolf warrior first encountered stranded in the Ghost Ship, Keziah is one of Prince Emile's loyal servants. He was a companion of Riza's father in the old days, and as such, despite being ''technically'' Riza's enemy, tends to look out for her whenever they cross paths.
----
%%* BloodKnight

* FantasticRacism: Against vampires but no one's shocked.
* FriendlyEnemy: Keziah and Riza get on very well.
%%* HotBlooded

[[WMG:'''Sledge''']]

--> '''Voiced By:''' Creator/SatoshiHino (OVA)
A winged warrior of an unspecified humanoid race, Sledge is another of Prince Emile's bodyguards, serving opposite to Keziah. Despite being in the same faction, they tend to bicker with each other when left alone.
----
* BloodKnight: No surprise from Keziah, though Sledge is also like this.
* BodyguardBetrayal: [[spoiler:Sledge is the one that kills the already-dying Emile so that Silvia can claim Madeline.]]
%%* GogglesDoNothing
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Sledge is killed by the Blood Warrior-turned Emile, shortly after he had betrayed the latter to Silvia.]]
* SatelliteCharacter: Sledge has very little characterization outside of his loyalty to Emile, being able to fly and arguing with Keziah.
* WingedHumanoid: Sledge.

[[WMG: '''Flanders''']]
Flanders is the robot bodyguard assigned to serve Emile. Unlike his "siblings" Flandre and Francesca, Flanders is a HumongousMecha on the scale of kaiju-sized monsters. He is later upgraded to Flanders G.
----
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The fact that Flander's head-mounted photon cannons are used by Gilliam is a big clue that [[spoiler:Emile has already died]]
%%* HumongousMecha
%%* ThemeNaming
* VerbalTic: "Fuga"/"Hooba."
* WaveMotionGun: His eyes also double as twin Photo Cannons.
* WeCanRebuildHim: Flanders is actually destroyed twice, but rebuilt without issue (relatively anyway) afterward.

[[WMG: '''Ningyo'''/[[spoiler:Madeline]]]]

--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiKayano (OVA)
A mermaid that was trapped on a ghost ship, and was used by the malevolent entity there to lure in other ships to their doom. In return for gaining the ability to walk on land, she had willingly given up her voice, but in the process she was cursed that she would die if she ever spoke. She is eventually rescued from the ghost ship by Hime's friends and Keziah, but not before she speaks up to warn the latter. This causes her death, but she is quickly revived via Emile's blood, becoming one of his Blood Warriors.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Despite her hair being a dark color in the manga, it becomes pink in the first anime. The OVA rectifies this somewhat, turning her hair back into a very dark blue.
* ColorFailure: Much like Hiro, she suffers this at times.
* HellishPupils: Again, much like Hiro.
* LastOfTheirKind: Mermaids are mentioned by Riza as being "almost extinct".
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: She is referred to through the manga and the OVA simply as "ningyo", which literaly means mermaid. It is only later in the manga that we learn that her real name is [[spoiler:Madeline]].
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Similar to 'Literature/TheLittleMermaid' variety: as mentioned, she gave up her voice as a payment to a sorcerer to be able to walk. The moment she speaks a word however, she dies.
* TokenMiniMoe: Of Emile's entourage.

--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KikukoInoue (OVA)
The eldest princess, Silvia is beautiful, elegant, and charismatic. She is also incredibly cunning and willing to do ''anything'' to come out on top of the current succession war, without directly showing her hand of course. With this in mind, she is likely the most dangerous of Hime's siblings [[spoiler:prior to the emergence of Prince Fuhito, that is]].
-----

* PetTheDog: Hime's earlier memories of her.
* [[spoiler:PlayingWithFire, WreathedInFlames: After gaining Phoenix powers, like Hime.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Silvia" or "Sylvia?" The official English translations go with "Silvia."

[[quoteright:267:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e34bb9c7773bfef721ce4e80bff717f3.JPG]]
--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JojiNakata (OVA)
Another of Hime's older brothers, Gilliam appears as an intense-looking man in a white suit, and is always seen with his sword close at hand. Unlike his brother Emile, Gilliam is much more brash, and isn't shy to prove how good at using his sword he ''really'' is.
----
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Implied, mostly through his rather unusual blood warriors.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: His blood warriors include:
** A [[EmpathicWeapon living sword.]]
** A [[BigCreepyCrawlies Big Creepy Crawly]].
* CoolSword: His weapon is his sword blood warrior.
* FlashStep: He is ''very'' fast.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** [[spoiler:On the giving and recieveing end. He blasts Hime's mansion with a particle cannon for fighting him earlier, using the very weapon she used then on him. He then is about to blast Sherwood's mansion, proclaiming "karma's a bitch", only to be blasted, but not killed, by Hime with the same cannon.]]
** [[spoiler: By chapter 78 and 77, he gets desperate and willingly exposes himself to an alien spore cloud in hopes of fighting and defeating Fuhito. This winds up backfiring as prolonged exposure means he can't survive in fresh air. The spore uses him to explain to the others that they meant no harm and were just trying to find a new home before heading out into space. Clearing away the mist and killing Gilliam in the process. He is graceful about it though and, like Emil, wishes for Hime to be the next ruler as she gave him a royal death.]]
%%* KilledOffForReal

[[folder:Prince Duken and his entourage]]
[[WMG: '''Prince Duken'''/[[spoiler:Franken]]]]
The oldest royal sibling alive, Duken was supposedly the winner of the previous generation's succession war by default, as his only other remaining rival had gone into hiding. However instead of being elevated to maturity, he was instead passed over by the other Elder royalty, which indirectly leads to the current succession war. [[spoiler:In reality Duken had been killed decades before by his brother Prince Fuhito, and the "Duken" seen by the other siblings is simply another android.]]

[[folder:Other Characters]]
[[WMG: '''Dr. Franken''']]
The creator of the humanoid bodyguards that serve the royal siblings, Dr. Franken considers himself a neutral observer to the succession war. As such his mansion is considered a demilitarized zone where the royal siblings can talk with each other without fear of attack or betrayal.
----
* BadassLongcoat: Used to be the owner of one.
* BrainInAJar: His state in the present generation.
%%* LargeHam
%%* MadScientist

[[WMG: '''Prince Fuhito''']]
Another royal prince, Fuhito's unexpected entry into the succession war has shifted the power balance between all his other siblings. Although looking for all the world like a young boy, Fuhito is an extremely powerful esper... and he isn't hesitant in using that power. [[spoiler:Fuhito was actually a participant of the previous generation's succession war, though he had to go into hiding due to the toll the battles took on his body. It was he who killed Duken, and had him turned into a robotic body-double, which in turn indirectly causes the ''current'' generation's succession war.]]
----
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler:Tries this against Silvia in preparation against the adult Phoenix. He loses.]]
%%* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:Like Hime and Silvia.]]
* CaptainErsatz As a baby, a very obvious one to Ivan Whisky/Cyborg 001 from {{Manga/Cyborg009}}, down to the pacifier.

* HornedHumanoid: The way his hair is styled makes it seem like he has two horns sprouting from the top of his head.
%%* {{Immortality}}
* PsychicPowers:An ''extremely'' powerful esper even as a baby.
* SmugSuper: He really thinks himself unbeatable.

[[WMG: Zeppeli]]
--> Voiced by: Creator/KenyuHoriuchi (JP) Creator/ChrisPatton (EN)

Zeppeli is a pure-blood vampire, like Reiri, who is in charge of Sasanaki Hospital from the shadows. He is noted for being eccentric, even by Vampire standards. He makes no secret of the fact that he wants to taste Hime's blood, but he also prefers to think of his actions as a form of theater, and even tells Hiro he would prefer if the Princess volunteered her blood freely.

----
* AffablyEvil: Zeppeli is always polite, and even when his plans go south, he never loses his cool or his temper. He has been known to use things like ''It'' in his schemes (at least in the anime. The manga never specifies who unleashed ''It''), but he is never wantonly cruel or malicious.
* BadBoss: Notable for being averted, especially for a vampire.
* FakingTheDead: In an anime only story, he pretends to be killed by a Tanuki vampire hunter, mostly to get rid of him without actually fighting or killing him.
* FriendlyFoes: Despite being in competition with Reiri, Zeppeli often has friendly conversations with her, and doesn't seem to bear her any malice, though he is determined to get Hime's blood first.
* {{Foil}}: For both Reiri and Kinski. Like Reiri, he makes no secret of desiring Hime's blood, but unlike Reiri he's not in good standing with Hime and thus doesn't have access to her mansion. And like Kinski, he's had Hiro in his clutches a few times, but unlike Kinski, Zeppeli wasn't needlessly cruel with Hiro, and prefers to simply chat with him and was philisophical about tasting Hime's blood.
* ForTheLulz / ForTheEvulz: Many of the actiosn he takes seems to be because he was just looking for a laugh.
* KilledOffForReal: In the later chapters of the manga. Zeppeli was captured and used in Flyman's experiments to make vampire/werewolf hybrids. Hime and the others find his body.
* MadArtist: Zeppeli sent an android to Hime's house in a scheme to get her blood. He actually wrote an elaborate history and twenty-three years of memories for the android, in part to make his story more convincing, but in part because Zeppeli considered it all part of the theatrical presentation he was orchestrating.
* MellowFellow: Zeppeli treats failures as mere setbacks, and doesn't tend to get uptight or angry about much of anything, though at times he does express mild annoyance with his servant, Sanagida.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Zeppeli never pulls a BadBoss move with the vampires under his command at the Sasanaki Hospital, and doesn't punish failures with cruelty or death. Indeed, he even takes pride in the skills and efficiency of the hospital staff, who, despite being vampires, are consumate professionals when it comes to medical care, something that saves him on at least one occasion.
