[[folder:Ayaka and Yurine]]
!!Shiramine Ayaka
!!!Voiced by: Creator/HarukaTerui

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shiramine_1891.jpg]]

A self-proclaimed "model student", she is obsessed with being the first at everything and thus sees her world turned upside-down when Yurine appears. She's in the high-school section, class 1-C.

----

* AggressiveSubmissive: Kind of. For all her defiance, Yurine can play her like a harp when she's in a flirtatious mood.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: She gives one to Yurine in chapter 11, but ''she's'' the one hit hard by Yurine's laconic answer.
-->'''Ayaka:''' [[spoiler:You say I'm special to you but… in the end, you would like anyone able to beat you, wouldn't you?"]]\\
'''Yurine:''' *{{Beat}}*… You may be right.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Not belligerent on Yurine's side, but on hers, definitely.
* CharacterDevelopment: Chapter 15 shows that she has largely gotten used to Yurine's presence and has become somewhat more conscious and accepting of her sweet side. In any case she doesn't reject her as strongly as early on.
* ClassRepresentative: Unsurprisingly, she seems to be this (at least in role).
* GoGetterGirl: Ayaka sees it absolutely imperative to be the best at absolutely everything.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: {{Subverted}}, as their roles are reversed. The good angel tells her to focus on being the best and reject Yurine at all costs; the bad angel tells her that Yurine isn't a bad person and that there's nothing wrong with being friends with her.
* HiddenBuxom: The two instances she's seen in her bra (though the first is in an ImagineSpot), she turns out to be far more busty than she seems in her uniform.
* NotSoDifferent: It's not as immediately obvious as with Yurine, being the SchoolIdol and helping various people around at school, but as we go on it's increasingly clear that she doesn't have any actual friends either. Mizuki (again) even points it out in chapter 18.
* OutOfFocus: Despite being a protagonist, there are actually very few chapters focused on her (if you don't count the extras). Chapter 1 and 2, chapter 11, half of chapter 15 and that's pretty much it; in other chapters she only appears for a few pages, if at all. It doesn't help that, rather ironically, Ayaka almost only interacts with Yurine while Yurine herself intervenes in other characters' arcs.
* SchoolIdol: And that's her pride, even if Yurine is no.1 in grades.
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: She does not take losing to Yurine by three points lightly.
-->'''Mizuki:''' Why does it bother you so much to be second? It's awesome.\\
'''Ayaka:''' Yeah, for someone like you who is around the 150th place, being first or second probably doesn't make much of a difference!
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: She occasionally sports these when studying.
* {{Tsundere}}: While she usually shows an admirable façade at school, she shows a more aggressive side when alone with Mizuki, and completely loses her composure when it comes to Yurine. She can admit she is awesome and can't help but look at her constantly, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial b-but it's not because she likes her or anything!]] Made more amusing by the fact that even Yurine herself can see it. An omake sums it up nicely.
-->'''Yurine:''' What is ''A Kiss and a White Lily'' about? Well, we're following Shiramine-san and wondering when she will admit that she's madly in love with me.\\
'''Ayaka:''' What the hell are you making up?!
* [[WellDoneSonGuy Well Done Daughter Girl]]: Implied in a flash-back, where her mother scolds her because she got "only" 95/100 at a test, while Mizuki's mother praises her for getting an 88.
* {{Workaholic}}: She will study to death and work harder than any student, but she admits than she doesn't really have a precise goal beyond "being no. 1". This seems to come at least partly from her mother's overly high expectations.

!!Kurosawa Yurine
!!!Voiced by: Creator/KaoriMizuhashi

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yurine_2_2270.jpg]]

In the same class as Ayaka, she is a "genius" in a nutshell. Nobody can beat her and she usually spends her time sleeping. Yet one day, after Ayaka has helped her open herself a tiny bit, she falls in love and becomes obsessed with her.

----

* TheAce: She is good at ''everything'' she does, be it in studies, sports, or even art. But since she succeeds at everything without even trying, she can't get invested in anything.
* AsleepInClass: Her default mode. If she's ever seen awake during class, it's because the teacher woke her up.
* CharacterDevelopment: She has gained quite a few social skill points since the beginning of the series, and has become slightly less fixated on Ayaka alone (although she's still her main motivation). She even decides to join a club eventually.
* CoolBigSis: Sumire sees her as this, and well, she has some reasons to.
* DitzyGenius: Sure she can ace any test and learn at the speed of light, but that doesn't prevent her from occasionally taking odd actions − like trying to catch a paper stuck in a tree, even though it's obviously out of her reach and she's sitting ''on the second floor window''.
* FriendlessBackground: According to herself. In the first chapter, Chiharu notes that her excess of ability makes her hard to approach, and she is pretty distant herself. Though meeting Ayaka, Mizuki and Ai helped her open up it seems.
* HeavySleeper: Because she feels like she has nothing better to do than sleep, as she considers herself a bother for other people.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: She's sick of people praising, relying on or being jealous of her because of her talent. All she wants is to find someone who will make her feel like an ordinary girl; and Ayaka is that person.
* LonelyAtTheTop: And one reason she falls in love with Ayaka is that, finally, someone seems to be able to (eventually) best her.
* MoodSwinger: Usually aloof and bored, but whenever she is with Ayaka, she can go from euphoric to teasing to pouty to CloudCuckoolander, all in an instant. In any case, she is clearly in heaven by just being with her.
* PhotographicMemory: Implied, as she can memorize an entire textbook page with one casual reading.
* TheTease: She takes an intense delight in playing with Ayaka, often physically. It can go quite far, yet the latter shows surprisingly little resistance to it.
* SingleTargetSexuality: She has eyes only for Ayaka and only seems to feel any kind of satisfaction when she is at her side. Though chapter 11 subverts this [[spoiler:when Ayaka tells her that in the end, she would just love anyone who can beat her. Yurine's answer after a beat is that it might be true, to Ayaka's shock. Afterwards she herself starts to worry that her feelings for Ayaka may not go further than that.]]
* ShutUpKiss: Gives one to Ayaka in chapter 12, when the latter warns her that her club activities might detract her from the tests.
* SupremeChef: Par for the course. So supreme that she can cook while sleeping.

[[folder:Mizuki and Moe]]
!!Senoo Mizuki
!!!Voiced by: Creator/YumiUchiyama

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/senoo_5955.jpg]]

Ayaka's cousin, in second year, and a member of the track team. While her fans call her a "prince", she's actually shier than she looks.

----

* BoyishShortHair: She deliberately cut her hair short to invoke this and create a contrast with Moe's "cuteness".
* TheConfidant: Sort of. As her cousin and roommate, she's the only person with whom Ayaka doesn't feel the need to wear her "model student" mask, and is thus used to her more agressive side; in return, Ayaka also listens to her worries regarding her relationship with Moe.
* HaremSeeker: Moe once suspects that this is the reason she cut her hair… and discards the idea a second after, deeming it too ridiculous considering Mizuki's personality.
* ImagineSpotting: In chapter 3, she wonders why Moe is wearing high-heels in Ayaka's ImagineSpot where she steps on Mizuki.
* ImportantHaircut: The reasons she cut her hair in middle-school are all related more or less directly to a trait of her personality. She also notes that it allows her to be a bit more self-confident.
* InsecureLoveInterest: She finds Moe beautiful, but because of that was affraid that she would look too plain at her side. She is also quite reluctant to let Yurine join the track team, thinking that Moe no longer considers her good enough − it doesn't help that this is also what Ayaka (maybe biaised by her [[ThePerfectionist perfectionist]] vision) suggests.
** In the Valentine's day special, she panics after Moe tells her she ''was'' cute back in middle-school − as if she wasn't anymore. Cue ImagineSpot of Moe leaving her and saying that she prefers "young and innocent girls".
* ShrinkingViolet: She was extremely shy in middle-school, and still is to an extent. That's apparently one of the reasons Moe fell for her, since she finds it "cute".


!!Nikaidō Moe
!!!Voiced by: Creator/ManamiNumakura

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moe_6665.jpg]]

Mizuki's soul-mate since their middle-school days. She's quite assertive and determined to get what she wants − notably Yurine joining the track team, of which she is the manager.

----

* TheComicallySerious: She tends to say rather weird or off-the-mark things while keeping the same deadpan expression.
* FieryRedHead: Most of the time she comes off as TheStoic, but deep down she's quite passionate. Depending on the author's mood, color pictures have her hair going from light brown to some shade of ''pink''.
* IKissYourHand: Does this to Mizuki at the end of chapter 3, in a sort of LadyAndKnight pose. It gets across the point that yes, she does need her and no, she won't leave her for someone else.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Downplayed, but Mizuki says that she is willing to run as long as Moe is looking at her, hence her distress when she thinks Yurine is going to "replace" her. In chapter 16 Moe realizes that Mizuki is ''too'' emotionally dependent on her, and decides a "Moe-abstinence" period (taking abstinence from your favorite food as an example).
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She has a bad tendency to "help" Mizuki by doing things that end up hurting her feelings more often than not, [[PoorCommunicationKills only because she doesn't tell her what she actually has in mind.]] Her inner monologue in chapter 4 and Mizuki's TalkingToThemself moment in chapter 16 show that both of them are somewhat aware of the problem.
* MeaningfulName: "{{Moe}}", written with the same character as the anime concept based around cuteness. However, her personality and behaviour are sometimes… [[IronicName not Moe at all]] (see below).
* SecretChaser: She can't bear not knowing something about Mizuki, even as mundane as the reason she keeps her hair short. And apparently becomes even more curious when imagining Mizuki's embarrassed (thus cute) face should she find out.
* StalkerWithACrush: Her bag is full of photos of Mizuki, and not all of them were taken with the latter's knowing.
-->'''Moe:''' Well, you see, it seems that I have a bit of a "collecting mania". I'm aiming for the full collection while I'm at it.\\
'''Mizuki:''' That's called being a stalker, Moe…

[[folder:Chiharu and Izumi]]


!!Kusakabe Chiharu
!!!Voiced by: Creator/AyakaFukuhara

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chiharu_8699.jpg]]

Ai's best friend, she's a rather aloof and no-nonsense girl. She Apparently has feelings for her senpai Maya.

----

* DopeSlap: To Ai. When it's Izumi it becomes either noogies on the temples or a punch on the top of the head.
* ForeheadOfDoom:Lampshaded by both Maya in one instance, and Izumi who calls her "Deko-senpai" (deko meaning "forehead").
* InterruptedDeclarationOfLove: Whether she was about to say the three words to Maya in chapter 7 is unclear, but either way the latter stops her by putting a finger on her lips and simply saying "thank you".
* PerpetualFrowner: She's rarely seen smiling, in contrast to the hyperactive Ai.
* StraightMan: Usually plays this role towards Ai's antics, or even [[TheDitz Maya]]; and later Izumi.
* SuddenHumility: In chapter 9, after the AlmostKiss scene with Izumi, she wonders if Maya was in the same position towards her (i.e. being aware of the other's feelings but not being able to reciprocate them). The chapter is even titled "Reverse".
* WhenSheSmiles: Finally smiles in chapter 8 after saying good bye to Maya just in time before her leave. As Izumi puts it…
-->''Deko-senpai… I think I might like your face actually.''


!!Akidzuki Izumi
!!!Introduced in chapter 8
!!!Voiced by: Creator/KanaeIto

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/izumi_2_1353.jpg]]

In third year of middle-school, she comes to school every day on her bike, which is against Seiran's regulations. As a result she is one day called out by Chiharu… who actually talks with her just to kill some time. Izumi ends up developing a crush on her "Deko-senpai".

----

* AlliterativeName: Ak'''i'''dz'''u'''k'''i''' '''I'''z'''u'''m'''i'''.
* AlmostKiss: At the end of chapter 9, her lips come suspiciously close with Chiharu's, before the latter asks her why she behaves that way. Izumi tells her to make an educated guess.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Her big sister Ayumu sees her as this.
* BookDumb: Not particularly good at school, nor very dilligent, much to her sister's annoyance.
* CuteLittleFang: Apparent when she opens her mouth, like in the image above.
* LargeHam: Whether it's to rejoice or complain, she doesn't do it halfway, and often speaks in a faux theatrical tone.
* NeverMyFault: PlayedForLaughs in chapter 9, as after dreaming of Chiharu she wanders around the school looking for her and gets help from Moe, but insists that it's entirely Chiharu's fault.
* {{Tsundere}}: She's at first annoyed by Chiharu's attitude and her presence every day, but when they suddenly stop seeing each other, she realizes that she actually misses her. Then she goes all the way to the high-school building to see her and "complain".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Yukina and Towako]]
!!Ooshiro Yukina
!!!Introduced in chapter 12
!!!Voiced by: Creator/RyokoShiraishi

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2f1a5d3552a1f5a5935acfa2b9a4e337.png]]

In 3rd year of high-school, she's the president of the gardening club. To prevent it from being closed, she one day grabs a random girl passing by - who happens to be Yurine - and more or less forces her to sign in the club.

----
* ArmorPiercingSlap: An Armor Piercing ''Punch'' for Towako in chapter 14.
* ClubStub: She drags Yurine into the club as a desperate attempt to save it, thinking that Towako will follow her. But it turns out Towako has… other plans for the club.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Yurine suggests that the one preventing the club from recruiting must be someone close to her, Yukina starts to wonder if she has a SplitPersonality.
* DudeWhereIsMyRespect: She has this reaction whenever Yurine says she would prefer to be with Ayaka rather than with her.
-->'''Yukina:''' For a kouhai, you're not cute at all, you know that?
* FieryRedHead: Her hair is a slightly reddish brown, and she has the hot-blooded personality to go with it.
* HiddenBuxom: Even moreso than Ayaka, going by [[https://twitter.com/_canno/status/613668257262735360/photo/1 this illustration.]]
* LargeHam: With a cunning touch to go with it. Her personality is kind of a mix between Moe and Izumi.
* {{Ojou}}: She apparently has a huge garden and a grandmother that can afford Seiran's school fees for two people.
* SenpaiKouhai: She's absolutely ''extactic'' at the idea of having a kouhai. Which connects to her desire of leaving the rose garden in the care of the next generations after graduating.
* YourSizeMayVary: In chapter 12, her braids only go down to slightly above her chest, but a few chapters later they go all the way down to her waist. The author themself makes fun of this in an omake.

!!Mita Towako
!!!Introduced in chapter 12
!!!Voiced by: Creator/MaiNakahara

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/abe556dc4e364af0749f4a1a33196ea5.jpg]]

The "vice-president" of the gardening club, and Yukina's childhood friend. She's rather incompetent at gardening but loyally sticks with Yukina anyway.

----

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She wants the rose garden and their memories of it to remain pure and untainted… so she decides to let the gardening club disapear so that no one can taint it in the future. When she "succeeds"… it doesn't make her as happy as she thought.
* IKissYourFoot: Does this in chapter 15 after Yukina forbids her to "run away" from her [[spoiler:just before they have a soft, quiet kissing scene.]] It serves to further show a devotion and love for Yukina that border on worship at times.
* PoisonousFriend: Downplayed. She seems to follow and obey Yukina without questions… until it turns out she's also quite possessive of her, and has a completely different idea of how to "save" the club.
* StepfordSmiler: Her smiles don't have much enthusiasm behind them.
* TraitorShot: She has a few in chapter 13, either covering her eyes or putting her in shadows, all with an eery smile.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: She's not ''evil'' but her possessiveness towards Yukina and actions to "preserve" the rose garden can be a tad questionable. And she tends to have slightly unsettling expressions.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sawa and Itsuki]]
!!Itou Sawa
!!!Introduced in chapter 21

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sawa.jpg]]

Member of the archery club, she's a competent but slightly mischievous girl. To interview Ayaka for the Information Committee's newsletter, she has to team up with Itsuki, who seems to have an unexplained grudge towards her.

----

* AffectionateNickname: "Saa-chan", her nickname from grade school, that Itsuki still uses.
* BrutalHonesty: Case in point, she wants to proceed "smoothly" to ask Ayaka about the rumours surrounding her titular "strange disappearance". When the interview starts, she justs bluntly throws in the subject, with no introduction. Itsuki notes that she "doesn't even need to read her heart", as she's not one to mince her words.
\\
\\
\\
\\
\\

!!Nishikawa Itsuki
!!!Introduced in chapter 21

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/itsuki_52.jpg]]

A tall, graceful and pretty freshman who ends up in Sawa's care. It turns out she was her old neighbour, and is quite angry at Sawa for having forgotten her… and a "dream" they apparently shared.

----

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: While Sawa remembers her as a friend she used to play with, Itsuki's feelings are visibly much deeper and much less platonic.
* StepfordSmiler: Her "smiles" when she talks with Sawa hardly have anything friendly about them. She does end up smiling genuinely in one instance, though, much to Sawa's surprise.
-->'''Sawa:''' "Would you look at that. [[WhenSheSmiles You can actually have a cute smile when you try!]]
* WhyCantIHateYou: Seeing that Sawa didn't recognize her, she tried to hate her, but couldn't manage to.

[[folder:Other]]
!!Uehara Ai
!!!Voiced by: Creator/NaomiOozora

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uehara_3739.jpg]]

One of Ayaka and Yurine's classmates, she has a bright and energetic demeanour that makes her easy to befriend.

----

* BookDumb: In chapter 11, Ayaka has no trouble believing Ai when the latter says she didn't study for her test.
* GenkiGirl: Always shows an overflowing enthusiasm when she is in a good mood. Or even in a bad mood.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Being the most girly girl in the series, she has a thing for cute teddy bears. She offers one to Maya as a lucky charm, and is the judge of the [[ItMakesSenseInContext teddy-bear making competition]] between Ayaka and Yurine in chapter 18.
* NiceGirl: According to Ayaka, and even Yurine seems to agree, as Ai's the closest thing to an actual friend she has made.
\\
\\

!!Hoshino Maya
!!!Introduced in chapter 6

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maya_3_1978.jpg]]

Ai and Chiharu's beloved senpai, and the latter's roommate, in third year. She has decided to apply for a public university to study astronomy, and will thus leave Seiran the next year.

----

* TheDitz: A downplayed example, but she can be a bit… absent minded at times, forcing Chiharu to act a bit like her mom.
* MeaningfulName: Her name can roughly translate as [[StellarName "a night full of stars"]], which is fitting for her love of astronomy.
* PutOnABus: She goes to a faraway university after she graduates in chapter 10. Volume 2 as a whole focuses on she, Ai and Chiharu dealing with the prospect of their separation.
\\
\\

!!Kurosawa Sumire
!!!Introduced in chapter 6.5

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sumire_2118.jpg]]

Yurine's little sister, who appears in an interlude chapter. She came to see who was this "Shiramine Ayaka" who took her sister's attention away from her.

----

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: She seems to irritate Yurine a bit. Ayaka, however, still thinks that Yurine is the more annoying of the two.
* ClingyJealousGirl: A rare female example of MySisterIsOffLimits She does ''not'' accept that the sister she adores was "stolen" by Ayaka… before she falls for Ayaka herself.
* OneeSama: How she starts to call Ayaka after crushing hard on her. Ayaka irritatingly notes that she shouldn't need to as she already has a real big sister.
\\
\\

!!Machida Kaoru
!!!Introduced in the chapter 6 extra/chapter 18

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p861_copie.jpg]]

A girl who was in the same class as Yurine in middle-school, and is apparently infatuated with her but never had the courage to approach her.

----

* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter 18 and 19 are, unusually, told from her background character point of view, as she tries to muster her courage to finally talk to Yurine.
* CannotSpitItOut: She cannot spit out… anything when Yurine is in front of her.
* CloudCuckoolander: As lampshaded by [[ThoseTwoGuys Kohagi and Momiji]], Kaoru's idea of "getting closer" to Yurine involves… sewing a patchwork together. This, and her other {{Imagine Spot}}s, make her appear quite dreamy.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She appears in the chapter 6 extra, the only one that features not two, but a single girl. And she is also present in the background in the very first title page of the series − Canno themself said that they were waiting for the right time to introduce her properly.
* HopelessSuitor: Considers herself this when she sees how much Yurine loves Ayaka. She jokingly (?) calls it a "disappointed love".
* LuminescentBlush: She is visibly in ''heaven'' when Yurine thanks her, and then says hello to her with a smile.
* MementoMacGuffin: Downplayed with Yurine's lost pencil. Kaoru picked it up but could never muster the courage to give it back. It's only years later that she manages to, which allows her to finally talk to her crush.
* ObliviousToLove: EveryoneCanSeeIt, but chapter 19 seems to indicate she's oblivious to her ''own'' love, still insisting on becoming "friends" with Yurine. Her two friends Momiji and Kohagi are dumbfounded when, after helping Kaoru to invite Yurine to the summer festival… she invites them too, even though they obviously intended to leave her alone with Yurine. Chapter 19's title is even "Tell me that's love".
