Takamiya Household
The main cast of Date A Live: Altered Timeline series, whose powers are tied to Westcott's ultimate goals and the many mysteries tied to the origins of the Eurasian Sky Disaster.
WARNING! All spoilers are unmarked.
Everyone as a Whole
General
- Field Power Effect: The different Spirits have been shown as being strengthened by being in a situation where their element is widely available, such as Origami being more powerful during the day and Tohka being stronger at night or in the shade.
The Takamiya Siblings
General
- Forgotten First Meeting: They met Tohka when they were young and living in an orphanage, but upon reuniting with her in the present day, neither of them recognize her at all.
Shinji Takamiya
Shinji Takamiya
The protagonist of Date A Live: Altered Timeline, and the older brother of Mana Takamiya.
- Official Couple: With Mio, since before he was reborn as a Spirit. Due to Mio sealing away his memories because of the events that nearly caused his death, he currently doesn't remember this.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Unlike canon, he was still (barely) alive after being shot by Ike, so Mio was able to have him be reborn as the same person instead of what happened in canon where he was reborn as Shido.

The deuteragonist of Date A Live: Altered Timeline, and the younger sister of Shinji Takamiya.

- Big Eater: During her meeting with Shinji, Tohka eats so much that Shinji worries he might run out of money before she is full.
- Childhood Friends: As she discovers upon regaining her memories, Tohka met Shinji and Mana during their time living at Tenguu City's orphanage. She decides not to tell them about this, due to her promise with Mio.
- Emergency Transformation: She was born a Pure Spirit like Mio, but in order to prevent her from dying due to her body destabilizing, Mio had to absorb her and then absorb a dead human's body, making her part Human like the others.
- Expressive Accessory: Her ribbon sometimes reacts to her mood. So far, its shown to sharpen itself when she's angry.
- Fish out of Water: She shows this when she is on her "date" with Shinji. To give one example, when her stomach growls during the middle of a conversation with him, she doesn't realize that it means that she is hungry.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: When Shinji and Mana first meet her, Tohka has no memories beyond a few things, not even knowing what food or eating is. Following her first encounter with them, the first memory she regains is of her name. The rest of her memory returns at the end of the first arc, after they're fully unsealed, where it's revealed Mio sealed them as part of her plans to fight and defeat DEM Industries.
- Name Amnesia: Tohka initially suffers from this, but compared to Date A Re:Live, she remembers it prior to her second meeting with the main character thanks to Mio.
