Characters: AIR

Characters from the year 2000

Bishōnen
Deadpan Snarker: For the most part.
Identical Grandson: to Ryuya. Also, his mother (as seen in flashbacks to his childhood) is this to Uraha.
Reincarnation: of Ryuuya. They look very similar, unlike Kanna/Misuzu, who look NOTHING alike. They're also related by blood, unlike the aforementioned.

All of the Other Reindeer: Misuzu is ignored by her classmates for being out sick so often.
Cute Clumsy Girl: to the MAX. She practically can't walk five feet without tripping on... well, nothing in particular.
The Cutie: and she gets thoroughly broken and even killed in the anime version.
The Ditz
Go Out with a Smile: Misuzu's final smile for her mommy is so heartwarmingly cute that it makes her passing all the more heartbreaking.
Hair of Gold
Ill Girl: par for the course for a Key work.
Important Haircut: immediately procedes her losing her memory and basically reverting to a childlike state in the anime.
The Ingénue
Rapunzel Hair: it's down to her waist at least, and possibly even lower.
Reincarnation: of Kanna, turns out. They look nothing alike, unlike many examples of the trope, though. Also, it's implied that, thanks to this trope, she might wind up with a happy ending after all, albeit not in her current form.
Stepford Smiler: to some extent. she acts cheerful, but she's really suffering from a curse which makes her incapable of having close friendships with anyone.
Too Good For This Sinful Earth

All of the Other Reindeer: Kano has been teased a lot for wearing a bandanna around her wrist 24/7, talking to animals more than to humans, passing out in class, and just plain being weird.
Bob Haircut
Demoted to Extra: Literally in the movie. Kano is widely known as the Least Popular Key Haremette despite having her own small fanbase (which calls her Kano-rin).
Deus Sex Machina: Kano believes that losing her virginity will give her magical powers, thanks to taking Hijiri's effort to rein in Shiraho completely the wrong way.
Fan Nickname: Kano-rin
The Gadfly: She's a bit of a troll. Before Yuri came along, Kano was Key's main female example despite nearly every male lead being this.
Iconic Item: Her bandanna, which she keeps on her person at all times. In her arc in the game, she gives it away, and in the anime, she takes it off and it blows away in the wind.
I Just Want to Be Special: Wants magical powers.
Leitmotif: Mizutamari
Parental Abandonment
Speaks Fluent Animal: : Ambiguously.
Strange Girl
You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Agent Scully: Hijiri believes that she can't believe in magic or she'd undermine her credibility and reliability as a doctor. She doesn't bring up the subject in front of Kano because she cares more about her sister than the fact that they disagree on this point and it was Hijiri who made Kano's belief in magic so central to her character anyway.
Deadly Doctor: She can get intimidating when Kano is involved. However, she only projects this and doesn't actually kill anybody...
Overprotective Sister: With good reason. She knows full well how Kano took her words, and should Kano really attempt to "become an adult" and remove her bandanna, which scientifically-minded Hijiri put on her to trigger her back to her normal self, her "illness" (possession) may actually kill her, as far as Hijiri theorizes. She gets better by the end, where it's no longer an issue.
