Koharu Tachibana (2C)
Portrayed By: Sei Shiraishi, Ayaka Tan (young)
Koharu
The primary protagonist with a love of plastic models, she suddenly finds herself thrust into the Girl Gun Fight after assembling the Attack Girl Gun and Alice models.- All-Loving Hero: Cares for everyone in the Girl Gun Fight and wants to get out of it without killing anyone if possible. This is deconstructed in that the nature of the fight leads Koharu to end up having to make choices that will result in someone dying, and ultimately she chooses to kill the other teams rather than let one of her teammates die.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: She laments that if her life could be changed by plastic models things would be so much easier. Then she becomes involved in the Girl Gun Fight.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Her pacifism leads the other teams to overlook her and treat her as not being a threat, but when pushed she won't hesitate to defend herself or her teammates.
- Character Development: Slowly becomes more willing to use force over the course of the series. It starts when she reluctantly kills Natsuki to save Natsuna. An episode later, after learning more about the truth of the Girl Gun Fight and what will happen to Alice if she loses, Koharu resigns herself to the fighting and kills one of the Charlie Tango members later in the episode to defend her teammate.
- Cool Big Sis: Acts as this to Fuyumi after she joins the fight to replace Natsuna, guiding her through everything and caring for her in place of her now Ret-Gone sister.
- Drama-Preserving Handicap: After she drops her pacifism completely, a montage shows her performing dominantly in the Girl Gun Fight, including one where she loses her second life, leaving her on her last one by the time of the finals.
- The Hero: Koharu is the main character of the series and the main one fighting to put an end to the Girl Gun Fight.
- Nice Girl: Is a timid but sweet girl who is protective of her teammates and tries not to kill anyone, instead preferring to resolve things peacefully.
- Taking the Bullet: In episode 3 she does this to protect Natsuna.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: Adheres to this philosophy in the beginning, not wanting to kill anyone and even chooses to sacrifice herself rather than kill one of the enemy team members. Later on though, she relents in order to save Natsuna from dying, and eventually gives up on this when she learns that Alice will be destroyed if her team loses.

Natsuna
A 3rd year student who has been in the Girl Gun Fight for a while when Koharu is brought in. An accomplished runner in the 800m, she's set to compete in the nationals soon.- The Big Girl: Of Alpha Tango, being the most athletic one and the one most willing to get her hands dirty.
- Character Tic: Firing the Attack Girl Gun Gangsta Style.
- Drama-Preserving Handicap: She's very athletic, which translates well to the Girl Gun Fight, but she's also on her last life, making her teammates very hesitant to let her go out into the line of fire.
- Killed Off for Real: Is on her last life, so if she gets killed one more time this will be what happens to her. And she loses her last life in episode 6 when she's killed by Rei.
- Passionate Sports Girl: Is very devoted to her track practice, and one of her main motivations in the series is making it to the nationals.

- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Is very aloof on the outside, but on the inside she cares deeply for her friends and teammates, as shown when she is the first to weep over Natsuna's death.
- Team Chef: Having the science lab to herself means she has everything she needs to make bubble tea - apart from actual cups, maybe.
Masami Nakazaki

Masami
A former member of Alpha Tango who was eliminated before Koharu joined the Girl Gun Fight.- Plot-Triggering Death: Her death is the reason Koharu is in the Fight in the first place, as she joined to replace her.

- Dragon-in-Chief: After joining Bravo Tango, she refuses to follow any of Bianca's orders and instead manages to sway the other two team members into taking orders from her.

- Student Council President: Is the president of the student council at Koharu's high school.
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Upon entering the Girl Gun Fight, she goes into combat with the cold precision and emotional detachment of a career mercenary. Justified due to her having watched it all before, as a Lady Commander.
- We Used to Be Friends: Used to be close friends with Koharu and is the one who taught her how to build models, until she lost interest and grew apart from her.
- Wham Line: Upon finding the lost orange team within the back room of FFF in Girl Gun world."I promise... I will save you."

In General

Alice
Portrayed By: Yuuno Ohara
Alice
The Lady Commander assigned to Alpha Tango, she informs the team members of what the current match will be and advises them on strategy throughout the Fight.- Ambiguously Evil: It's hinted early on that she might be more sinister than she appears, given how she kept the nature of the Girl Gun Fight a secret from Koharu in the first two episodes. Though eventually it's revealed she's entirely heroic, and is only looking out for her teammates.
- Benevolent Boss: Cares deeply for her team members, and wants to keep them all alive if possible. She even helps them escape the arena and uncover the truth about the Girl Gun Fight in episode 6.

Charlotte
Charlie's Lady Commander, she enjoys the antics they get up to, encouraging their ridiculous poses and attacks.- Attack Pattern Alpha: Her main strategy seems to be cool phrases and useless formations.

Daisy
Daisy
Portrayed By: Sakura Ando
Daisy
Delta's Lady Commander, and the most outwardly sadistic of the Lady Commander quartet.- Dissonant Serenity: Despite being a sadistic Blood Knight, she rarely flinches or gets emotional like the other Lady Commanders. In episode 4 her cool attitude is the first clue Alice gets that something is up.

After she had become human, as Matsuko she searched for them only for her to learn that they were sacrificed in order for her to become human.
- Palette Swap: Aside from a white streak in her bangs, her plamo form is a blue and orange version of Alice.
- Pyrrhic Victory: She was able to become human by winning the Girl Gun Fight. But because it came at the price of sacrificing her teammates who fought for her sake, it became All for Nothing as she would no longer be able to be with them.
