!Our Lead Couple

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Karin and Kenta like each other. [[EveryoneCanSeeIt Everyone already knows it]]. However, it takes them 8 volumes of incessant UnresolvedSexualTension before they confess their feelings for each other and become a couple.

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karin_3.jpg]]

The 15-16-year-old female protagonist of the series: an unusual vampire whose body creates more blood than it can contain, and thus she has to inject her additional blood into bypassers. In fact, Karin actually is perfectly like a human not counting that blood production, and she ''lacks'' all vampiric superpowers and weaknesses that her family members have. Karin also prefers living a daytime life, even though that means she is the only one in the household who needs electricity and normal human food besides her non-awakened younger sister Anju. This forces her to do part-time work alongside going to school.

* TragicDropout: She had to drop out of high school early after she got pregnant with Kenta at 16 years old. That she never finished her education is one of the reasons why it's so hard for her to find a good job.

* FunnyForeigner

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Little eccentric and a touch insensitive at times, but he's got a heart of gold.
* LargeHam

* {{Expy}}: Of Chucky from ''Film/ChildsPlay'', of course.

->Voiced by: Creator/HiroshiMatsumoto (JP), Paul John Pistore (EN)

* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: His father, James, arranged Henry's marriage to Calera without asking Calera's, his son's, or even his own wife's opinion. Henry wasn't amused, but eventually he grew close to Calera and now that they're married they truly love each other.

* LikesOlderMen: Calera has a preference for middle-aged men. Her {{first love}}, James, looked like a man in his fifties. Her husband Henry looks around forty because Calera asked him to not drink much blood as she likes him having an older appearance.
* LoveFatherLoveSon: Calera's {{first love}} was James Marker who took her in as the fiancée of his son Henry. Although she initially didn't like the idea, Calera warmed up to Henry when she realized how much he looked like James. Years later, Calera grew to love Henry and they're now a HappilyMarried couple.
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage: Her father-in-law, James, just arranged Calera's marriage to Henry without asking Calera's, his son's, or even his own wife's opinion. Calera wasn't amused (especially as she had thought that she was brought to James's house just to have time with James, who she greatly liked), but eventually she grew close to Henry and still keeps telling how much in love she is with Henry.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is she Calera, Carrera, Carerra, or perhaps Carla?

* MamaBear: Her HairTriggerTemper aside, the most notable way to get her [[UnstoppableRage worst side]] is to threaten her family.

* ParasolOfPrettiness: In the anime, she carries around a parasol when outdoors to block off the sun.
* ProperlyParanoid: When she finds out Yuriya is a half-vampire, Elda tries to kill her because a half-vampire exposing the location of vampires is the reason why her family was killed 200 years ago and she believes Yuriya will do something similar to endanger her new family. [[spoiler:Elda is right to suspect Yuriya is a threat to her granddaughter at least because Yuriya conspires with her uncle to kidnap Karin and send her to the Brownlick clan that plans to drain Karin's blood until she dies.]]
* PsychoPink: She has light pink hair and her fierceness makes her feared by vampire society. She's also merciless towards anyone who messes with her family.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Shusei. They were friends in elementary school and started dating in middle school. After he got Fumio pregnant in high school, Shusei wanted to marry her, but Fumio's mother didn't allow it.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Fumio. They were friends in elementary school and started dating in middle school. After he got Fumio pregnant in high school, Shusei wanted to marry her, but Fumio's mother didn't allow it.

* INeverGotAnyLetters: [[spoiler:When Kenta was a kid, Fumio sent Shusei a letter to give him one last chance to meet up with her. After he never showed up at the meeting spot, Fumio thought Shusei had abandoned her and Kenta. Years later, Shusei reveals that he never got Fumio's letter because his father must have thrown it away.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Initially, Shusei appears to be a really rude and selfish person, but eventually it turns out that he had really missed Fumio and had genuinely wanted to live with her. He was also kind enough to buy some snacks for heart-broken Karin. Shusei is just... rough around his edges.

* TheOneThatGotAway: Fumio and Shusei were in love when they were teenagers. After Fumio got pregnant, they agreed to get married. Unfortunately, [[ParentalMarriageVeto Fumio's mother objected to it]] and stopped Shusei from seeing Fumio after their son Kenta was born. 15 years passed and both built their own lives apart from each other. Shusei goes to meet Fumio and Kenta just one time to tell them that he's going to raise his next child with his new girlfriend. Before they part ways for good, Fumio says that she can now let Shusei go after getting closure with him.

* OedipusComplex: First time we see her, Kanon is trying to wake up her father with a kiss only for her mother to jealously stop her. Karin wonders how Kanon grew up to have such a big daddy complex. Probably justified, due to her nature. After all, Kanon was Sophia, a slave and martyr to the vampire race for thousands of years, until she was freed by ThePowerOfLove and reincarnated as Karin's and Kenta's daughter so Kenta would love her even if not in the same way he loves Karin.

* HimeCut: Bridget, the heiress of a high-ranking vampire family, has blunt bangs, waist length sidelocks, and hip length straight hair.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Brownlick or Braunlich?

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Noel or Noelle?

* OverprotectiveDad: Henry is not exactly thrilled about Kenta's effect on his daughter's life. Calera calls it "father syndrome".

* KansaiRegionalAccent: He's the only known vampire who uses the Osaka dialect.

* IdenticalGranddaughter: She looks remarkably like her maternal grandmother Cecilia. In fact, Elda recalls Cecilia's appearance for the first time for years when looking at Anju.

* {{Tsundere}}: Harsh type. Elda is a very headstrong woman with a short temper that makes her feared by her own family. She still loves her son and grandchildren very much and shows her softer side around them. Also, her husband James could make her go lovey-dovey.

* ACupAngst: A mild example. An omake shows Anju somewhat concerned that there's no way to be sure if she'll grow breasts after she sees her paternal grandmother is flat-chested.

* ACupAngst: Elda is jealous to see that Karin looks just like her, but with large breasts that Karin got from her mother's side.

* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a large bust which is often brought to attention, such as [[ACupAngst Karin being envious of her figure]] and James being curious about how Cecilia's MarshmallowHell feels like.

* GagBoobs: She's quite well-endowed, and the series often makes use of it.

* GagBoobs: She shoved her boobs at Elda's face while being overly affectionate. Elda wasn't amused, neither is her fiance. This may partially explain Elda's repulsion against large busts.

* BuxomIsBetter: She has a large bust which is often brought to attention, such as [[ACupAngst Karin being envious of her figure]] and James being curious about how Cecilia's MarshmallowHell feels like.

'''Boss''': OH! You're working for that! (he means christmas bonus)\\

* BuxomIsBetter: He was curious about what Cecilia's bust felt on Elda's face.

* MegaTwintails: Her twintails are bigger than her head.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Calera Maaka is an evil shot with a slipper, up to and including charging it with a BattleAura. And since she's never wearing slippers, it's apparently a good HyperspaceMallet for slapstick as well.

* ElectraComplex: First time we see her, Kanon is trying to wake up her father with a kiss only for her mother to jealously stop her. Karin wonders how Kanon grew up to have such a big daddy complex. Probably justified, due to her nature.

Here are the characters of ''Manga/{{Karin}}''!

* HatesTheirParent: Kenta refuses to acknowledge his father as family, resenting him for seemingly abandoning him and his mother to run off with another woman. Later on, Kenta learns his parents couldn't get married because of Fumio's mother being opposed to it and Shusei properly apologizes for not being a father to Kenta. While Kenta doesn't exactly forgive him, he recognizes that his father isn't a bad guy.

* MoralityPet: Ren is a borderline [[TheSociopath sociopath]], but Anju is the only person he treats decently. He didn't erase Kenta's memory right after the latter found out Karin's secret only because Anju asked him not to. Throughout the series, Anju is the source of Ren's major PetTheDog moments.
