----
* AccidentalPervert: [[RunningGag He can't stop]] seeing Rika in her underwear.

* DemotedToExtra: The ending credits for the anime don't list him in the top bracket with the heroines, he is dumped into the "Other Characters" section of the official website, and has generally seen no promotion for the anime (when his voice actor was announced, it simply described him as "Asuka's classmate." All these point to him being demoted to a side-character in favor of pushing Asuka as the main character, and generally focusing on the 4 heroines.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:As shown in Episode 9, he's obviously the boy who met Asuka during their childhood. It's also hinted, and outright revealed in the VN that Misaki was the novice who defeated him.]]
* HesBack: In Episode 10, he's willing to don his Grav-Shoes and participate in practice drills with his club.

-->''"I don't think you'll find anyone with interests as straightforward as me."''\\
'''An all-natural girl who prefers to fly in straight-on.'''\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MisatoFukuen (credited as Natsu Sawada for PC game) (Japanese), Creator/JillHarris (English)

The main heroine of the visual novel and protagonist in the anime. She just transferred to Masaya's class at Kunahama, and became enamoured with the Flying Circus sport, quickly joining the club.
----
* AudienceSurrogate: Asuka generally fills this role, as she's completely a FishOutOfWater, and has no idea about the concepts introduced in the show such as the grav shoes and the Flying Circus tournament. Thus this provides a handy excuse for the other characters to then do an InfoDump to introduce the concepts to the audience.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: This is what Asuka's main strength when it comes to FC. She's able to quickly grasp advanced techniques and strategies and even make one on the spot. It only became apparent later due to her lack of knowledge and experience to the sport, when it became obvious.
* CatchPhrase: "Dame dame desu."[[labelnote:Translation]]"(I'm) no good."[[/labelnote]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The same day she learns to fly, Kurashina Asuka performs an expert-level maneuver, the Air Kick Turn. In standard issue school shoes.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She can be a bit of an airhead from time to time.
* TheCutie: An older example than most, but she's this.
* TheDeterminator: Despite often being behind in points, she doesn't want to give up during her matches.
* TheDitz: She somehow transferred into a school that issues Grav-Shoes to all its students, and yet never heard about it before her first day.
* FishOutOfWater: Has no idea how the grav shoes work, nor how to play the Flying Circus game.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:It's all but stated that Masaya inspired her to learn to fly back when they were kids.]]
* GenkiGirl: Seems a bit too excited at times, such as at the beginning of the first episode, where she loses her balance twice while standing on top of a wall. She ends up falling anyway after slipping. And when she first learns how to fly, her ecstatic nature and flinging her arms arounds causes her to lose her balance while flying.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler: In her final match against Inui during the Fall Match, Asuka decides to go all out by turning off her [[PowerLimiter balance limiters]]. The resulting match was too awesome to describe.]]
* ItWasAGift: Her "hair clip" on the left side of her hair. [[spoiler: Flashbacks reveal that her "hair clip" used to be a part of Masaya's Zephyrion action figure's wing, given to her as a gift before they parted.]]
* JackOfAllStats: An All-Rounder player. [[spoiler:In her route, Masaya trains her to into a Fighter type All-Rounder.]]
* NewTransferStudent: She just moved to the islands at the start of the story.
* PluckyGirl: Losses don't seem to put her down much.
* ThePollyanna: Despite losing some matches, this doesn't depress her at all. In fact, she seems to genuinely enjoy competing in the matches, and will usually congratulate the winner if she loses.
** In the anime, she does briefly suffer a HeroicBSOD after losing to a match against Inui, but Misaki helps her to regain her confidence.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair is waist-length.
* SkilledButNaive: Despite not having any training on flying prior to showing up at Kunahama, she displays some incredible talent at FC. And during a mock battle with Misaki in episode four while exercising on foot, she manages to do a backflip high in the air, surprising everyone there, including herself.
* TheWatson: Her ignorance of FC allows others (usually Masaya) to explain it.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Light pink. Though it's slightly darker in hue in the VN.

!!Misaki Tobisawa
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/28113.jpg]]
-->''"I won't lose to anyone when it comes to eating!"''
-->'''A young lady who enjoys floating with complete freedom.'''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AzumiAsakura (credited as Yuri Konno for PC game) (Japanese), Creator/AnastasiaMunoz (English)

Masaya's classmate and friend since middle school. She joins the FC club with Asuka.
----
* TheAce: Before Asuka gradually improved over the course of the VN and anime, Misaki was considered to be the best and most skilled of the Kunahama players thanks to previous experience in FC. [[spoiler:This is why Misaki didn't take it well when she saw how fast [[NaiveNewcomer Asuka]] kept improving despite not treating the sport as seriously as she did, and she became even more upset during the Summer Tournament when Shindou treated Asuka as a WorthyOpponent but not her. She gets better.]]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the VN, Misaki is unable to use any membrane-based techniques like the Air Kick turn and has to work around that issue in her route. In the anime, she surprises Shindou by using it.
* BigEater: Talks a lot about food, especially udon.
* CatSmile: Displays one from time to time once she wakes up in the afternoon.
* CoolBigSis: How Mashiro sees her. In reality, she's a mix of this combined with a little bit of AloofBigSister since she usually treats Mashiro like an AnnoyingYoungerSibling whenever she gets a little too close for comfort with her, though she does genuinely care for Mashiro.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Her main goal is to defeat champion-level players like Shindou in FC. [[spoiler: Which is funny when you realize that she'd already achieved this goal when she defeated [[TheAce Masaya]] as a child. Mind you, Masaya was at his prime back then, while Misaki was still relatively new at FC.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: In the anime, her character development and growth in the story is second only to Asuka's in importance in the plot. She also gets as much prominence in the spotlight as her.
* DumbMuscle: To FC, which is {{Iron}}ic as she is ''actually'' a genius in both sports and studies. Her problem stems from the fact that her reflexes are too good that she ends up not using her mind to think in the middle of a match, which later becomes apparent once Asuka improved to the point of giving Shindou a run for his money.
* FoodAsBribe: Used on her a lot to get her to do things, such as listening to Masaya's instructions during her match against Shindo.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:Episode 9 hints (and outright reveals in the VN) that she was the novice who beat Masaya back when he was a kid.]]
* HiddenDepths: Misaki is actually quite perceptive of other people's emotions behind her cheery persona. [[spoiler:In Mashiro's route, she also claims that she doesn't really care that much about Mashiro and that she only stuck with Mashiro for the free udon, which turned out to be a lie as she used to ''hate'' udon due to nearly choking on it as a child, only for Mashiro to unknowingly change this over their interactions.]] She's also much more mentally fragile than she lets herself show.
* NotAMorningPerson: She suffers from low blood pressure, so she ends up being rather deadpan and somewhat irritable in the mornings. Contrast that with the afternoons, where she is pretty cheerful. Her morning cat naps add to her cat theme.
* NotSoDifferent: Masaya is the only one to not try to pressure her back into the club, since he suffered a similar HeroicBSOD.
* SempaiKouhai: The Sempai to Mashiro.
* SuperReflexes: Her biggest strength as a Skywalker is that she can react very fast in a short period of time. [[spoiler:The problem is that she relies on it a bit too much and doesn't use her mind to think of plans, which is fine against less skilled players. A skilled player like Shindou however, can exploit this and cause her to fall for a lot of feints. Part of her route is focused on fixing this issue of hers.]]
* RapunzelHair: Like Asuka her hair is waist-length.
* TenMinuteRetirement: Quits the FC club in episode seven, but rejoins in episode nine after recalling how much fun she had taking part in it.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The best way to bribe into doing something for you, whether it be just spending time with you or to deviate from her playstyle, is to treat her to udon.
* VerbalTic: Tobisawa has a feline theme and will often purrfectly insert cat-talk into her speech.

Masaya and Misaki's junior. She joins the FC club to be with Misaki.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 4 focuses entirely on Mashiro and her budding friendship with Rika. Notable in that this episode adapted a crucial part in her route despite the anime adapting a mix of Asuka's and Misaki's.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The only freshman member of Kunahama's FC club.
* [[BigBrotherWorship Big Sister Worship]]: Although they're not relatives, she considers Misaki as one. Whom she idolizes to the point of trying to copy anything she does.
* BookDumb: She had to retake her exams in her focus episode.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Is first shown clinging to Misaki, then scowls at the other characters when she sees them trying to take away her attention. She'll also tell Masaya to stop staring at Misaki when she's wearing her FC uniform.
* FragileSpeedster: Shifts to being a Speeder in Episode 4, and is remarkably more effective as a result.
* GamerChick: Arisaka plays [[BlandNameProduct the PSQ, the 4DS,]] and even mobile phone games.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: This is how she challenges Rika to FC before they become friends.
* SchoolgirlLesbian: Both the anime and Visual novel, she has a one-sided affection for Misaki, and loves invading her personal space whenever she can. Becomes averted in the Visual Novel should choosing her route.
* SempaiKouhai: The Kouhai to Misaki, whom she follows and idolizes.
* UnderdogsNeverLose: In choosing her route in the Visual Novel.

----
* TheAce: Well, as far as Mashiro is concerned, before she trains Mashiro.
* FragileSpeedster: A Speeder-type FC player.
* GirlNextDoor: Literally. She's Masaya's new next door neighbor.
* OutOfFocus: Due to the anime not adapting her route outside of her introduction, she's relegated to a supporting character in the show unlike the other three heroines. She does play a small but important role in Mashiro's episode though, but not much else after that.
* RunningGag: Masaya [[AccidentalPervert unwitting seeing her changing]] from each other's rooms, followed by synchronized screaming. You'd think one of them would learn to just shut their curtains.
* {{Tsundere}}: Thanks to her rather less than pleasant first impression of Masaya when they first met combined with her disagreeing with his type of playstyle in air jousting, she acts pretty cold and standoffish towards him initially in her route, though she defrosts and eventually turns dere for him later on after having spent some time with him.

* BigEater: Does this during the training camp in episode three. This backfires on him the next day, when he ends up sitting on the toilet most of the day.
* DramaQueen: A rare male example. There is rarely a moment when he isn't over the top in his reactions.
* EyesAlwaysShut
* LargeHam: Often speaks and acts in this manner, such as when begging Masaya to join the FC team at their school.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's the reason why the main cast started playing FC and one of the two people that convinced Masaya to come back, even if only as a coach. [[spoiler:The "Bad" end in the VN, which the True Ending is implied to follow up on, only started with him telling Masaya to ask him for help if he ever wants to make a comeback.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RisaTaneda (anime), Creator/RyokoOno (UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita game, credited as Rikka Kitami for PC game) (Japanese), Creator/TiaBallard (English)

Vice-president of Takafuji Academy's FC club. An All-rounder player.
----
* DoNotCallMePaul: She constantly tells Shindo to call her Satoin instead of Satou.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She seems haughty at first glance, especially during her introduction, but is genuinely kind in her own way and is a believer in fair play, giving Asuka a fair handicap when she learns that she's a complete newbie in Flying Circus in their first meeting.
* DrillSergeantNasty: Does this during the training camp in episode three.
* NoblewomansLaugh: She's introduced to the viewer with a full-on laugh, and how she continues to establish herself throughout her appearances.
* TheOjou: She actually tries to invoke this by adding "-in" to the end of her family name "Satou", making it sound more ojou-like. This might explain why Reiko keeps trying to take the "in" of every institute she can challenge.
* SkinshipGrope: Forcibly washed Misaki's back against her will during the training camp. Though nothing is shown, Reiko seems a bit too eager to want to touch Misaki, and Misaki's screams indicates Reiko being a bit too aggressive in washing her.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Don't tell anyone, but her name is actual Sato, she added the "in" herself!

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KazuyukiOkitsu (credited as Charlie Umesaki for PC game) (Japanese), Creator/ShawnGann (English)

President of Takafuji Academy's FC club and a Speeder focused All-rounder player.
----
* TheAce: He is the reigning FC champ.
* AdaptationalWimp: The scores in his match against Asuka during the Summer Tournament is a lot closer than the VN, where he immediately widens the gap after recovering from Asuka's consecutive Air Kick turns.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:He takes his defeat to Saki rather well.]]
* HeroWorshipper: He was a fan of Masaya during his glory days. Also to Aoi [[spoiler:and Shirase.]]
* IAmNotLeftHanded: He doesn't use his best tactics unless he's up against a WorthyOpponent. Unfortunately, this gave Misaki a HopeSpot that she's approaching his level, only for that to be crushed when he revealed his hand against Asuka.
* BadassBookworm: Shindou is ''really'' fast for an All-Rounder and is nothing to scoff at in a dogfight and is able to chain together a bunch of high level FC maneuvers that you don't expect to see in an amateur level tournament, while also being able to manage Takafuji's FC club, that has a lot of members, efficiently. [[spoiler:The fact that he lost against Inui is due to the fact that it was his first time seeing the 'Bird Cage' and thus hasn't been able to form a good counter-strategy, which he was able to form on his own sometime after the tournament.]]
* NiceGuy: He genuinely is one, and is quite polite even when asking for something. In an FC fight and when against a skilled and/or talented opponent, he becomes much more smug and isn't above using some of the rougher moves in FC (such as the Suicida) to win.
* SmugSnake: Comes off like this to try and goad Misaki into making her lose her cool during their match so she'd be easier to beat.
* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler:He loses to Inui Saki in episode 7, just to show that FC tactics are always evolving.]]

* TheAtoner: Aoi feels guilty for developing a style of FC that would remove much of the competition and potential in the sport. She begins assisting in training the cast when she sees that their rivals have taken up where she left off.
* BadassTeacher: Adviser and former FC player, so she qualifies for the sport.
* BareYourMidriff
* TheCoatsAreOff: After Masaya decides to directly participate in practice drills, she throws off her coat and does the same.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Aoi always has one stocking down around her ankle, hinting at her unconventional attitudes.
* SadistTeacher: Kagami-sensei's cruelty is legendary. However, this is largely an InformedAttribute since virtually every time she's seen, it's with concern for helping Masaya to recover.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:After she loses in the final episode, she's shown getting along well with Asuka's team and even has a photo with them.]]
* FragileSpeedster: Inui is one of the fastest fliers in the local FC community. Subverted when she proves to be very good at dogfighting as well, making her a LightningBruiser in practice.
* PowerLimiter: Because of her training and special equipment, Inui can [[spoiler:disable her balance limiters by half or full, mid-game.]] This gives her an edge in speed and agility that other players just don't have.

* GreenAndMean: Her color scheme is green, and she's the least pleasant of the characters involved in the FC.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: While not exactly a villain, her less than noble intention of dominating FC with her playstyle eventually leads to other players realizing that releasing their limiters can make the game more exciting.
* {{Ojou}}: Wealthy enough to hire European professional Flying Circus players to help train Inui, as well as use a helicopter to travel everywhere.
* PsychoticSmirk: Her forte is gloating about forcing the world to embrace Irina's and Inui's new way of playing FC. Ominously.
* PureIsNotGood: Irina is obsessed with showing the world the purity of Inui and her style of FC. Complete with evil mood music and lighting.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Pale green.

!!Misaki Tobisawa
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/28113.jpg]]
-->''"I won't lose to anyone when it comes to eating!"''
-->'''A young lady who enjoys floating with complete freedom.'''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AzumiAsakura (credited as Yuri Konno for PC game) (Japanese), Creator/AnastasiaMunoz (English)

Masaya's classmate and friend since middle school. She joins the FC club with Asuka.
----
* TheAce: Before Asuka gradually improved over the course of the VN and anime, Misaki was considered to be the best and most skilled of the Kunahama players thanks to previous experience in FC. [[spoiler:This is why Misaki didn't take it well when she saw how fast [[NaiveNewcomer Asuka]] kept improving despite not treating the sport as seriously as she did, and she became even more upset during the Summer Tournament when Shindou treated Asuka as a WorthyOpponent but not her. She gets better.]]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the VN, Misaki is unable to use any membrane-based techniques like the Air Kick turn and has to work around that issue in her route. In the anime, she surprises Shindou by using it.
* BigEater: Talks a lot about food, especially udon.
* CatSmile: Displays one from time to time once she wakes up in the afternoon.
* CoolBigSis: How Mashiro sees her. In reality, she's a mix of this combined with a little bit of AloofBigSister since she usually treats Mashiro like an AnnoyingYoungerSibling whenever she gets a little too close for comfort with her, though she does genuinely care for Mashiro.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Her main goal is to defeat champion-level players like Shindou in FC. [[spoiler: Which is funny when you realize that she'd already achieved this goal when she defeated [[TheAce Masaya]] as a child. Mind you, Masaya was at his prime back then, while Misaki was still relatively new at FC.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: In the anime, her character development and growth in the story is second only to Asuka's in importance in the plot. She also gets as much prominence in the spotlight as her.
* DumbMuscle: To FC, which is {{Iron}}ic as she is ''actually'' a genius in both sports and studies. Her problem stems from the fact that her reflexes are too good that she ends up not using her mind to think in the middle of a match, which later becomes apparent once Asuka improved to the point of giving Shindou a run for his money.
* FoodAsBribe: Used on her a lot to get her to do things, such as listening to Masaya's instructions during her match against Shindo.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:Episode 9 hints (and outright reveals in the VN) that she was the novice who beat Masaya back when he was a kid.]]
* HiddenDepths: Misaki is actually quite perceptive of other people's emotions behind her cheery persona. [[spoiler:In Mashiro's route, she also claims that she doesn't really care that much about Mashiro and that she only stuck with Mashiro for the free udon, which turned out to be a lie as she used to ''hate'' udon due to nearly choking on it as a child, only for Mashiro to unknowingly change this over their interactions.]] She's also much more mentally fragile than she lets herself show.
* NotAMorningPerson: She suffers from low blood pressure, so she ends up being rather deadpan and somewhat irritable in the mornings. Contrast that with the afternoons, where she is pretty cheerful. Her morning cat naps add to her cat theme.
* NotSoDifferent: Masaya is the only one to not try to pressure her back into the club, since he suffered a similar HeroicBSOD.
* SempaiKouhai: The Sempai to Mashiro.
* SuperReflexes: Her biggest strength as a Skywalker is that she can react very fast in a short period of time. [[spoiler:The problem is that she relies on it a bit too much and doesn't use her mind to think of plans, which is fine against less skilled players. A skilled player like Shindou however, can exploit this and cause her to fall for a lot of feints. Part of her route is focused on fixing this issue of hers.]]
* RapunzelHair: Like Asuka her hair is waist-length.
* TenMinuteRetirement: Quits the FC club in episode seven, but rejoins in episode nine after recalling how much fun she had taking part in it.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The best way to bribe into doing something for you, whether it be just spending time with you or to deviate from her playstyle, is to treat her to udon.
* VerbalTic: Tobisawa has a feline theme and will often purrfectly insert cat-talk into her speech.

Masaya and Misaki's junior. She joins the FC club to be with Misaki.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 4 focuses entirely on Mashiro and her budding friendship with Rika. Notable in that this episode adapted a crucial part in her route despite the anime adapting a mix of Asuka's and Misaki's.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The only freshman member of Kunahama's FC club.
* [[BigBrotherWorship Big Sister Worship]]: Although they're not relatives, she considers Misaki as one. Whom she idolizes to the point of trying to copy anything she does.
* BookDumb: She had to retake her exams in her focus episode.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Is first shown clinging to Misaki, then scowls at the other characters when she sees them trying to take away her attention. She'll also tell Masaya to stop staring at Misaki when she's wearing her FC uniform.
* FragileSpeedster: Shifts to being a Speeder in Episode 4, and is remarkably more effective as a result.
* GamerChick: Arisaka plays [[BlandNameProduct the PSQ, the 4DS,]] and even mobile phone games.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: This is how she challenges Rika to FC before they become friends.
* SchoolgirlLesbian: Both the anime and Visual novel, she has a one-sided affection for Misaki, and loves invading her personal space whenever she can. Becomes averted in the Visual Novel should choosing her route.

----
* TheAce: Well, as far as Mashiro is concerned, before she trains Mashiro.
* FragileSpeedster: A Speeder-type FC player.
* GirlNextDoor: Literally. She's Masaya's new next door neighbor.
* OutOfFocus: Due to the anime not adapting her route outside of her introduction, she's relegated to a supporting character in the show unlike the other three heroines. She does play a small but important role in Mashiro's episode though, but not much else after that.
* RunningGag: Masaya [[AccidentalPervert unwitting seeing her changing]] from each other's rooms, followed by synchronized screaming. You'd think one of them would learn to just shut their curtains.
* {{Tsundere}}: Thanks to her rather less than pleasant first impression of Masaya when they first met combined with her disagreeing with his type of playstyle in air jousting, she acts pretty cold and standoffish towards him initially in her route, though she defrosts and eventually turns dere for him later on after having spent some time with him.

* DramaQueen: A rare male example. There is rarely a moment when he isn't over the top in his reactions.
* EyesAlwaysShut
* LargeHam: Often speaks and acts in this manner, such as when begging Masaya to join the FC team at their school.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's the reason why the main cast started playing FC and one of the two people that convinced Masaya to come back, even if only as a coach. [[spoiler:The "Bad" end in the VN, which the True Ending is implied to follow up on, only started with him telling Masaya to ask him for help if he ever wants to make a comeback.]]

Vice-president of Takafuji Academy's FC club. An All-rounder player.
----
* DoNotCallMePaul: She constantly tells Shindo to call her Satoin instead of Satou.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She seems haughty at first glance, especially during her introduction, but is genuinely kind in her own way and is a believer in fair play, giving Asuka a fair handicap when she learns that she's a complete newbie in Flying Circus in their first meeting.
* DrillSergeantNasty: Does this during the training camp in episode three.
* NoblewomansLaugh: She's introduced to the viewer with a full-on laugh, and how she continues to establish herself throughout her appearances.
* TheOjou: She actually tries to invoke this by adding "-in" to the end of her family name "Satou", making it sound more ojou-like. This might explain why Reiko keeps trying to take the "in" of every institute she can challenge.
* SkinshipGrope: Forcibly washed Misaki's back against her will during the training camp. Though nothing is shown, Reiko seems a bit too eager to want to touch Misaki, and Misaki's screams indicates Reiko being a bit too aggressive in washing her.

President of Takafuji Academy's FC club and a Speeder focused All-rounder player.
----
* TheAce: He is the reigning FC champ.
* AdaptationalWimp: The scores in his match against Asuka during the Summer Tournament is a lot closer than the VN, where he immediately widens the gap after recovering from Asuka's consecutive Air Kick turns.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:He takes his defeat to Saki rather well.]]
* HeroWorshipper: He was a fan of Masaya during his glory days. Also to Aoi [[spoiler:and Shirase.]]
* IAmNotLeftHanded: He doesn't use his best tactics unless he's up against a WorthyOpponent. Unfortunately, this gave Misaki a HopeSpot that she's approaching his level, only for that to be crushed when he revealed his hand against Asuka.
* BadassBookworm: Shindou is ''really'' fast for an All-Rounder and is nothing to scoff at in a dogfight and is able to chain together a bunch of high level FC maneuvers that you don't expect to see in an amateur level tournament, while also being able to manage Takafuji's FC club, that has a lot of members, efficiently. [[spoiler:The fact that he lost against Inui is due to the fact that it was his first time seeing the 'Bird Cage' and thus hasn't been able to form a good counter-strategy, which he was able to form on his own sometime after the tournament.]]
* NiceGuy: He genuinely is one, and is quite polite even when asking for something. In an FC fight and when against a skilled and/or talented opponent, he becomes much more smug and isn't above using some of the rougher moves in FC (such as the Suicida) to win.
* SmugSnake: Comes off like this to try and goad Misaki into making her lose her cool during their match so she'd be easier to beat.

* TheAtoner: Aoi feels guilty for developing a style of FC that would remove much of the competition and potential in the sport. She begins assisting in training the cast when she sees that their rivals have taken up where she left off.
* BadassTeacher: Adviser and former FC player, so she qualifies for the sport.
* BareYourMidriff
* TheCoatsAreOff: After Masaya decides to directly participate in practice drills, she throws off her coat and does the same.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Aoi always has one stocking down around her ankle, hinting at her unconventional attitudes.
* SadistTeacher: Kagami-sensei's cruelty is legendary. However, this is largely an InformedAttribute since virtually every time she's seen, it's with concern for helping Masaya to recover.

* FragileSpeedster: Inui is one of the fastest fliers in the local FC community. Subverted when she proves to be very good at dogfighting as well, making her a LightningBruiser in practice.
* PowerLimiter: Because of her training and special equipment, Inui can [[spoiler:disable her balance limiters by half or full, mid-game.]] This gives her an edge in speed and agility that other players just don't have.

* GreenAndMean: Her color scheme is green, and she's the least pleasant of the characters involved in the FC.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: While not exactly a villain, her less than noble intention of dominating FC with her playstyle eventually leads to other players realizing that releasing their limiters can make the game more exciting.
* {{Ojou}}: Wealthy enough to hire European professional Flying Circus players to help train Inui, as well as use a helicopter to travel everywhere.
* PsychoticSmirk: Her forte is gloating about forcing the world to embrace Irina's and Inui's new way of playing FC. Ominously.
* PureIsNotGood: Irina is obsessed with showing the world the purity of Inui and her style of FC. Complete with evil mood music and lighting.

* SuperReflexes: Her biggest strength as a Skywalker is that she can react very fast in a short period of time. [[spoiler:The problem is that she relies on it a bit too much and doesn't use her mind to think of plans, which is fine against less skilled players. A skilled player like Shindou however, can exploit this and cause her to fall for a lot of feints. Part of her route is focused on fixing this issue of hers.]]
