Lorem
The story's protagonist, a former monster of a demon who settled down into the life of being a loving mother after having Gospel.
- Acquired Poison Immunity: Zeke's poison normally cuts off a demon's ability to use any of their powers until it leaves their systems, but living with him for the three years prior to Gospel's conception led to her developing enough of a resistance to it that she can keep herself warm in the middle of a blizzard.
- Big Sister Instinct: Second only to her defensiveness regarding Gospel is how incredibly protective she is of Merii. Anything that threatens Merii's safety gets the same violent response from Lorem as threatening Gospel.
- But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Due to the fact she used to frequently rampage all over the place, she ended up impacting the lives of numerous people, both human and demon, whether it's negatively or positively, with her being completely oblivious to who the people she impacted were. Now that she's settled down and turned over a new leaf, any time she hears of people she "met" in the past, she gets nervous about what she might've done to them, especially since she beat up most of them and could've started off on the wrong foot thanks to her past actions.
- Children Raise You: Taking care of Merii and later Gospel are what make Lorem a more responsible and caring person after years of fighting for territory and supplies.
- Declaration of Protection: Shortly after becoming friends with Eliza, she promises to personally beat up anyone that would put her and her daughter in danger. She means it too, as when the two are seemingly kidnapped and taken into the Self-Administrated Zone, she's fully prepared to go scorched-earth to get them back.
- Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Her overwhelming brute strength is great for dealing with enemies... not such much for fine household chores. Her attempts to cook a simple food dish for Gospel go awry after she keeps destroying all the food and appliances. By the time Merii comes over, the kitchen is a complete mess and Lorem only has a barely edible carrot paste to show for it.
- Doting Parent: She thinks Gospel is the cutest thing in the world, and would do anything for him. Telling her that something is good for Gospel is a good way to get her to come out of her comfort zone.
- The Dreaded: She was known as the "Flame of Extermination" in her heyday, and incinerated entire military squadrons coming after her and Merii in the past. She also did the same to demons who tried to recruit her to fight the demons, as they would only keep her around until she became inconvenient. This garnered her quite the reputation, such that when she makes her presence known in a battle, everyone involved, enemy and ally alike, have a Mass "Oh, Crap!" moment; the younger ones didn't know how powerful she was; the older ones knew exactly how powerful she was. When she makes it clear she wants to talk rather than fight, everyone is ready to hear her out.
- Fanservice Pack: Lorem starts out as stacked, but is at least fairly reasonable. By the mid to late series, her chest is absurdly larger, as if she and Merii are competing for the biggest of the cast.
- Fight Off the Kryptonite: The Anti-Demonization gas is less than effective on her if she sees it coming because she can ignite it before it really affects her, which is part of why she's the dreaded. In addition, she's gained some resistance to it due to living with Zeke causing her to be exposed to it over time.
- Foil: She serves as one to her sister, Merii. Lorem is airheaded, clumsy, and Super Gullible due to how new motherhood is for her. She's highly emotional and only really knows how to fight due to years of living on the run. By contrast, Merii can be cynical, manipulative, and stern when needed, often having to be the voice of reason for Lorem and laying out the consequences of her decisions for her Merii has also secured a stable living for herself. While Lorem is feared for her ridiculous firepower, Merii is below the radar by comparison and possesses more discreet Combat Tentacles and Healing Hands. Even their colors are opposed: with Lorem being instantly recognizable by her white hair, feathery wings, and sagging blouse, while Merii has dark hair and wears an all-black sweater.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Lorem is the foolish sibling to Merii's responsible sibling. Merii is responsible, business-savvy, and cynical in ways that Lorem is it, and her powers have let her amass an enormous fortune. Lorem is considerably more naive and spacey, only really knowing how to fight, and needs to be taught how to be a responsible mother by Merii and Chiharu.
- Heroic RRoD: When she was young, her fire powers were so strong that they often blew up in her face until she got a handle on them. Lorem admits that if not for Merii's abilities, she might not have lived to adulthood.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: Thanks to her past, she constantly doubts whether she's actually being a good mother for Gospel, and worries about whether said past or her lack in parenting skills might cause problems for her boy someday in the future.
- Imagine Spot: Lorem's worries about Gospel's future lead her to imagine what he'd be like when he's older. These range from despairing at the thought of him becoming a delinquent to delight at how he'd love her so much that he'd want to marry her.
- Lethal Chef: Lorem is an awful cook at the start of story, with several of her earlier attempts being completely inedible and so horrible to look at they're covered by a mosaic. Even when she genuinely put in her greatest efforts, the best she could do was make a somewhat edible carrot paste for Gospel, and even then the only reason he ate it was because he wanted to make her happy. That said, she's been constantly "training" since then to improve her skills, and while she's still nowhere near a Supreme Chef, by chapter 69.5 she's reached the point where she can make food that can be enjoyed by other people, such as Gospel's birthday cake.
- Mama Bear: She loves Gospel with all her heart, but that also means she's viciously protective when someone endangers him or anyone else she cares about in any way.
- Maternally Challenged: As much as she loves her son, it's blatantly clear from the start that motherhood doesn't come naturally to her. She's careless, socially awkward, clumsy, naive, and short-sighted. Because of this, she needs a great deal of help from Merii and Chiharu to properly care for him.
- Mystical White Hair: She has snow white hair and powerful demonic abilities.
- No Social Skills: The person she knows how to talk the most with is Merii, and anyone else from there she gradually has to struggle to learn to interact with. It's not that she can't really speak with people, it's that spending most of her life as a surviving, rampaging Person of Mass Destruction with only her sister at her side has made even a daily societal life a clumsy new experience she has to learn from scratch.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: During Chapter 56, which which is mostly focused on Sera and Fuuga's developing relationship, Lorem remarks that she's been told "you're so warm" for as long as she could remember... Then pauses in an "Crap, I shouldn't have said that" manner. If you haven't guessed from other entries, this is very unusual behavior for Lorem.
- Parental Incest: Mentioned and Played for Laughs. Lorem is so doting on Gospel that she imagines a considerably older version of her son telling her that he wants to marry her. Merii immediately gets red flags from this.
- Playing with Fire: Her personal powers involve fire and heat. Under normal circumstances this just means being able to tolerate temperatures higher than anybody besides her and Gospel can handle, but when she's seriously using her powers her breath alone is enough to make other demons see their lives flash before their eyes.
- Red Baron: Several demons, and even a few humans, that know about her from the past refer to her as the "Raging Inferno" and the "Flame of Extermination", due to both her incredibly strong fire powers and past habit of going around destroying stuff and picking fights.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: She has fiery red eyes, and while having Gospel mostly tamed her, anything that might rile her up shows that she's still just as dangerous towards threats as in the past.
- Retired Monster: She was once a vicious, bloodthirsty demon who would kick the asses of any who dared to trespass on her territory. You wouldn't be able to tell that at all from her current behavior as a goofy, doting mother on her child. Just don't threaten him.
- Struggling Single Mother: Painfully so. As powerful as she is, she's completely unprepared to be a mother due to her clumsiness and her poor parenting skills due to living constantly on the run for much of her life. She has no income, no supplies, and no one to teach her the ins and outs of raising a child. It takes a lot of help from Merii and Chiharu for her to get by, and even then she ends up moving to a compound where she and Gospel would be safe at the expense of being constantly watched.
- Super Gullible: She can easily be convinced to do anything if she believes it will make Gospel happier. Chiharu quickly gets Lorem to eat a vegetable stir-fry, which she would never touch otherwise, after telling her that it makes her breast milk more nutritious and taste better.
- Superpower Lottery: She is noted to be an abnormality among abnormalities in terms of strength, having both a top-class fire power and the ability to demonize her entire body at once. Because of this, she's absurdly strong and almost completely immune to the anti-demonization gas thanks to her ability to simply burn it away.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Anyone that knew Lorem before motherhood wouldn't even begin to imagine her adorably naïve yet well-meaning present self. Not that she's lost her touch, but the contrast between the brutal, survivalist childhood and the kind, developing adulthood is enough to throw anyone off.
- Too Many Belts: In chapter 11, She finds an old outfit of hers with three belts on it. One at the waist, and one each above and below the bust. The description for the outfit even says "unnecessary belt" for the topmost belt.
- Walking Wasteland: A consequence of (A) being one of the most powerful demons in the world and (B) having her special power raising the temperature of things around her. When she watches Valentine's concert, characters have concerns that if she lost control of her powers she would accidentally turn the entire stadium to ash.
- Weight Woe: Her pregnancy and love for eating hasn't been kind to her waistline. Merii mocks her constantly for this.Merii: Are you a growing child too, onee-chan?
Lorem: Shut up.
Merii: How much do you weigh now?
Lorem: Shut up.
Gospel
Lorem's son, an adorable little demon whose safety and happiness is a major concern for most of the people who care about him, Lorem especially.
- Cheerful Child: While he's just as prone to crying as any other toddler, otherwise he's actually quite upbeat and cheery, with him very much loving his mama.
- Cuteness Proximity: Gospel's mere presence evokes this sort of reaction out of anybody that sees him, to the point that the entire reason the demonifying concert incident was resolved so well was because he accidentally got caught on camera, with the sight of his adorable self on the big screen calming all the rampaging demons down enough for them to be stopped.
- The Immune: While it's unconfirmed, there's a distinct possibility that Gospel is either resistant or outright immune to the "anti-demonification" gas that Humanity used to win the War; reason being his father, Zeke, is the source of the poison. Since he's already on a government watch list due to who his mother is, if this fact got out in the open Gospel would.... well, he'd be seen as a threat to the more Hawkish members in the Government. This is the main reason why Zeke and Lorem have to keep their relationship a secret. This is later confirmed when his tests show that his antibodies for the gas are extremely high for someone never exposed to it.
- Mystical White Hair: Same as his mother.
- The One Guy: He starts out as the only notable male character in the story, with any others being one-off roles. This eventually gets subverted as more major male characters start getting introduced.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: When Crown's forces attack with the intent of kidnapping him for his potential immunity to the anti-demonization gas, he shows that he inherited his mother Lorem's sheer power, generating incredible heat for his size.
- Playing with Fire: Just like his mother, his powers involve fire and heat. However, since he hasn't developed the ability to create heat or flames just yet, it mostly translates to being able to tolerate high temperatures.
- Spot the Imposter: Gospel has an uncanny knack for spotting Valentine when she's shapeshifted. Twice in one chapter, Valentine tries appearing to Gospel as Chiharu, then as Lorem. Both times Gospel is able to spot something different and reacts by being anxious around Valentine.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Gospel's face, eyes, and skin are almost identical to his mother's. He's effectively a gender-flipped version of her except for his naturally spiky hair and his scaly wings and tail. All of these are traits belonging to Zeke, who is Gospel's father.
- Superpowerful Genetics:
- Gospel displays Lorem's resistance to preference for heat very early in the series. His unconscious bouts of demonification also show him to be very powerful for his age. The problems that come with this, being more powerful than his little body can handle, is a big concern of Lorem's, as she had to deal with it herself. Between Merii's healing, Fuga's ice, and drugs created by humanity to curb the worst of that problem, Lorem is able to calm those fears some.
- Later, another possibility in Gospel's parentage comes up in that his father's ability is the basis for humanity's anti-demonification weapon that won them the war. This raises the possibility that he might be resistant, if not immune, to that. This facet of Gospel's parentage is kept under wraps since being Lorem's son has already put a target on him.
- Super-Strong Child:
- While he doesn't display it often, there have been a few times where it's shown that despite only being a toddler, he already has an incredible amount of strength inherited from his mother Lorem, such as being able to create a small shockwave just by slapping the ground with a demonified hand.
- When he's learning to walk, Gospel uses his wings as crutches, often slamming them down into the floor. This not only creates gashes in the floor from the claws on his wings, but he does this with so much force that he could potentially hurt someone who's too close. Chiharu remarks that she could have lost a finger when Gospel does this while approaching her.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?:
- An early chapter has Merii try to play with Gospel with her tentacles, only for it to frighten him instead. Much later, he freaks out and cries at the sight of a garden hose and, while Lorem doesn't understand what that's about, Merii is shown feeling guilty. When Gospel is over the fear at least enough that he doesn't cry at the mere sight of Merii's tentacles, Merii takes him out and plays with him using the tentacles like sock puppets to help further ease his fears of them.
- While being afraid of needles or getting a shot is not an unusual fear, Gospel's fear is enough that he recognizes his doctor Veronica primarily as the lady who gives him shots and is nervous around her even when outside the hospital. This is problematic when Veronica needs to convince Zeke, who is bodyguarding Gospel and Chiharu, that she's a friend since Gospel doesn't really help her case.
Merii
Lorem's younger sister, a demon who greatly loves her older sister, and has amassed a massive fortune through her lucrative selling of her healing services, acting as a provider for the others.
- Ambiguously Gay: Merii likes Chiharu a lot. She's extremely affectionate with the human girl, often flirting with her and hugging her. When drunk she was very touchy with Isabella and later tried to make out with Chiharu. Luckily for her Chiharu doesn't seem to mind too much.
- Combat Medic: Her healing tentacles are very handy to have around, especially during her and Lorem's childhood where her fire powers often burned her to near-death, and while she's nowhere near Lorem's level, she's still an incredibly strong and formidable fighter herself.
- Fiction 500: Because she charges millions of yen for her special medical services, Merii is ridiculously well off in the money department. No expense is too much for her- she can even buy an entire island as casually as most people buy a coffee.
- Foil: She serves as one to her sister, Lorem. Lorem is airheaded, clumsy, and Super Gullible due to how new motherhood is for her. She's highly emotional and only really knows how to fight due to years of living on the run. By contrast, Merii can be cynical, manipulative, and stern when needed, often having to be the voice of reason for Lorem and laying out the consequences of her decisions for her. Merii has also secured a stable living for herself. While Lorem is feared for her ridiculous firepower, Merii is below the radar by comparison and possesses more discreet Combat Tentacles and Healing Hands. Even their colors are opposed: with Lorem being instantly recognizable by her white hair, feathery wings, and sagging blouse, while Merii has dark hair and wears an all-black sweater.
- Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Merii is the responsible sibling to Lorem's foolish sibling. Merii is responsible, business-savvy, and cynical in ways that Lorem is it, and her powers have let her amass an enormous fortune. Lorem is considerably more naive and spacey, only really knowing how to fight, and needs to be taught how to be a responsible mother by Merii and Chiharu.
- Healing Factor: She can rapidly heal away any injuries she takes thanks to her healing tentacles, though it's not instant like with Lizette.
- Healing Hands: Her tentacles can be used to generate stem cells, which enable her to heal people from darn near anything. She healed Lorem multiple times over their childhood when Lorem's Power Incontinence caused her to hurt herself and saved Chiharu from a demon sickness that humans have otherwise never survived. She has managed to market this skill and make herself considerably wealthy.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: While she does a good job hiding it most of the time, deep inside she feels undeserving of other people's love and friendship, especially from humans. However, anytime she lets this slip towards Chiharu, the girl makes it perfectly clear that those thoughts are completely wrong, and that she outright feels insulted about somebody she cares about thinking they don't deserve her.
- The Nicknamer: Merii gives nicknames to just about everyone she meets except Lorem, who is simply "Onee-chan"/"Sis". Chiharu is "Chi-chan", Gospel is "Go-kun". She's usually quick about it but some, like Sera, are hard for her to do without making an even more complicated name. She's also dismayed that nobody but her ever uses her nicknames, and elated when Gospel, upon expanding his vocabulary, calls Chiharu "Chi-chan".
- Overshadowed by Awesome: Lorem is such a terrifying powerhouse of destruction that not many would notice that Merii is actually quite powerful as well. She tends to not draw attention to this fact, since she doesn't consider herself a fighter and has instead used her powers to amass a fortune. This is explained to Chiharu while the two of them are away at the Self-Administrated Zone. In the zone itself, when things turn violent and Merii lashes out at an attacker, Garon uses his Flash Step to knock the attacker away just as Merii's attack gashes a brick wall. Said attacker later notes that Lorem and Merii make a terrifying duo.
- Secret-Keeper: It's heavily implied that Merii knows (or at least suspects) who Gospel's father is.
- Technically Naked Shapeshifter: While she also likes wearing real clothes, she has a habit of forming stuff like bikinis out of her tentacles. When she does this, using her healing powers means she has to get closer and closer to being naked the more tentacles are necessary.
- Uncle Pennybags: Merii is incredibly well-off thanks to her powerful but expensive healing services, often dropping by to help cover Lorem's and Gospel's expenses.
Chiharu
The main human character among the whole cast, and a close friend to Lorem ever since she helped her give birth to Gospel. She primarily acts as the voice of reason and sanity among the main cast.
- A-Cup Angst: Chiharu tends to look on in dismay whenever some issue brings Lorem and/or Merii's large chests to the forefront. An early example is when she gets a baby carrier for Lorem to use with Gospel. Lorem can't use it with Gospel in front of her because her chest smothers him and the straps don't extend far enough to help.
- Ambiguously Gay: She and Merii have a very close relationship, and never seems to mind Merii's overly affectionate interactions, about the only time she outright refuses Merii is when the other girl is extremely drunk.
- Ambiguously Human: Following the situation involving Chiharu and the demonitis, where she was saved by Merii merging with her to cure the virus, the story has been leaving various hints, such as her being able to carry the over 17 kilogram heavy Gospel without any issues despite not being any more muscular than before, that suggest the possibility Merii's fears that she wound up turning into a demon have come true, but it hasn't been confirmed yet whether she actually has. It later turns out that it did have a lasting effect as she ends up spawning a small doppelganger of Merii from her body after being captured by Crown.
- Berserk Button: Due to the fact she's always had difficulties forming relationships with other people, any time the demons she's made friends with express the feeling they don't deserve to be with her, she immediately retaliates by telling them that those thoughts are wrong and angrily reassures them that she will never hate or abandon them.
- Fanservice Pack: Even amidst a cast of women that have gradually increased in size from chapter-to-chapter, Chiharu's body has gone through practically exponential growth in all her curves ever since Merii cured her of her lethal case of demonitis. It later turns out this actually happened In-Universe, as her middle school friend Usame is outright shocked, impressed, and overall interested in just how curvy she's gotten since they last met (Granted, they had last met in middle school).
- Friendless Background: She used to have a lot of difficulties forming relationships with other people, with the closest friend she ever had being Usame during middle school, and even then they wound up drifting apart afterwards, to the point they mostly forgot about each other. So after forming close bonds with Lorem, Merii and several other demons, she becomes extremely defensive whenever they express concern that her being around them might be bad for her.
- Locked into Strangeness: Subverted. Merii is scared that she's done this to Chiharu when her healing causes Chiharu's originally brown hair to become black after linking their bodies together to save her from demonitis. However, Chiharu states that Merii's healing was simply too thorough, having reverted her previously bleached hair back to its original black.
- Oh, Crap!: A very understandable one when she meets Gospel's father to convince him to return to Lorem, only for him to astutely point out the strong chance that his Anti-Demonification weapon made from his body, the only thing maintaining a tenuous balance between humans and demons so another war doesn't break out, will not work on Gospel. Especially during a time where both sides are in a silent cold war stalemate currently and might want to control or kill such a threat. Chiharu's horrified expression says it all.
- Stronger Than They Look: Played for Laughs when Minami tries to carry Gospel and nearly drops him because of how heavy he is, weighing in at nearly 40 pounds thanks to his wings and tail. Chiharu, on the other hand, has no problem holding Gospel as if he weighed no more then any other baby.
- Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious: Chiharu is this to Lizette. On her part, Lizette has demonstrated incredible willpower and refused to drink Chiharu's blood... just adored the scent from afar.
- Token Human: While other human characters come and go throughout the story, such as Minami, Chiharu is the only member of the main cast that is a normal human.
Fuuga
An aquatic demon who was once saved from his out-of-control power by Lorem, he shows up and sticks around in case Gospel needs help dealing with his own powers when they come in.
- Hulk Speak: He speaks in a rough and simplified way, which comes out like this in the translation.
- An Ice Person: His personal demonic power allows him to generate ice and cold. During a bout of Power Incontinence when he was young, he almost froze himself to death, with it only being because Lorem found him and thawed him out that he survived.
- I Owe You My Life: When Fuuga was a child, he was nearly killed by his own Power Incontinence causing him to freeze himself. Fortunately for Fuuga, Lorem came and used her fire powers to thaw him out. Later, upon hearing rumors that Lorem's had a child, Fuuga seeks her out so that, if Gospel has the same kind of issues growing up, Fuuga can do for Gospel what Lorem did for him.
- Iron Butt Monkey: He has a habit of getting into rather dangerous and harmful situations, from getting frozen solid in his own ice to being struck unconscious by lightning, but besides some slight singing or bruising at times he gets back up none the worse for wear every time.
- Oblivious to Love: Fuuga completely fails to pick up on even the biggest hints that Sera is romantically in love with him, with him mostly seeing her as a close friend.
Lizette
A vampire-like demon that lives in the residential area Lorem moves into. Thanks to the fact she can't handle sunlight, she's been unable to interact with other people until meeting Lorem and thus is incredibly shy.
- Cheerful Child: While she starts out as a Shrinking Violet, when she comes out of her shell she's shown to be just as upbeat and cheerful as Gospel.
- Fear of Thunder: Lizette expresses a fear of thunder during a lightning storm. In contrast, baby Gospel is loving it. Lorem tells Lizette a story of how Merii was scared of it herself when they were younger, to the point of crying that if she got struck by lightning she'd die. When Lizette asks how Merii got over it, Lorem reveals the answer was actually getting struck by lightning, at which point she healed herself with her powers and was fine. This actually helps comfort Lizette, since her own Healing Factor would do much the same thing.
- Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: She has all the hallmarks of a regular dangerous vampire, including Horror Hunger when starved, but she's a genuinely good little girl who refuses to be a monster, and does her best to stay well-fed from government-provided blood packs so that she never hurts humans.
- Healing Factor: Lizette is able to instantaneously heal her wounds if she consumes enough blood. Chiharu is stunned upon witnessing it and questions the biology behind it.
- Horror Hunger: When she has blood to drink, she's as much a Cheerful Child as one could expect from an eight year-old girl. When she doesn't have blood to drink, she can become mad from the starvation to the point of turning downright feral. She might well have been put down by humans before she turned six had Minami not realized this and made sure she could be provided with blood to drink. When Lizette accidentally runs out of blood packs, she finds Chiharu's scent almost irresistible and has to keep herself from attacking Chiharu. That chapter ends with Lizette going to pick up her blood rather than wait for it to be delivered and swearing to never run out like that again.
- In-Series Nickname: Merii's nickname for Lizette is "Zettan". Like nearly all of Merii's nicknames, Merii herself is the only one who uses it.
- Malaproper: Due to a combination of being around 8 and having been kept secluded from other people as a result of both her Horror Hunger and Weakened by the Light-induced nocturnality, her sense of vocabulary isn't fully developed. While she can say simple words just fine, anything more complicated in spelling or pronunciation she occasionally screws up.
- Our Vampires Are Different:
- She sustains herself from human blood and can not handle even the slightest exposure to sunlight without being burnt. However, while Minami describes Lizette as a vampire, she is not undead, but rather a specific breed of demon. Thus far the main vampires abilities she has demonstrated are Super-Strength, Super-Speed, and an incredible Healing Factor when drinking blood.
- In chapter 123, Lizette reveals some odd quirks about her vampiric biology; specifically her digestive system and that she doesn't have a stomach as humans do. This means she's incapable of eating solid foods and her body is able to only process liquids. Normally she only drinks blood, but she's capable of drinking any kind of fluid, with the stuff she can't absorb building up in her bladder and making her need to pee faster than usual.Lizette (while drinking apple juice): My body doesn't die-vest the bad things! But instead I end up needing to pee.
Chiharu: Makes sense.
Lizette: I already need to pee.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: She's normally a happy little girl, no different from any child, demon or human, save for being a vampire who needs to drink blood. If deprived of blood for too long, however, she becomes feral and violently attacks those around her for sustenance. Once she's fed, she goes right back to being a Cheerful Child.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: She has blood-red eyes, and while normally she's a pretty harmless and friendly little girl, going too long without blood can turn her into a ferocious beast, and even when sated she still has strong enough powers that messing with her would be a bad idea.
- Shrinking Violet: In the beginning before she had people to interact with often, she was incredibly shy and nervous, breaking into tears at the drop of a hat. She grows out of this as she spends more time around other people.
- Stronger Than They Look: Garon has stated Lizette possesses incredible physical strength for a young demon. When she was five years old, she was able to easily break through metal bars intended to contain her.
- Third-Person Person: Lizette always refers to Lizette in this way, as it's a typical speech pattern of Japanese children. She does seem able to speak more maturely when needed, such as when she has to order more blood for herself, but when she doesn't have to worry about that she reverts to third person.
- Token Mini-Moe: Disregarding the toddlers like Gospel and Helga, at 8 Lizette is the youngest and smallest of the major cast.
- Weakened by the Light: Due to being a vampire-like breed of demon, exposure of her flesh to sunlight will rapidly burn her to a crisp. However, if she can get away from sunlight quickly enough, her Healing Factor will restore her to normal just as fast.
Sera
An aquatic demon that Fuuga came across while wandering the ocean. She's blatantly in love with Fuuga, but is incredibly insecure about pursuing him.
- A-Cup Angst: She feels this way about her chest, which is somewhat worse because the boy she's in love with, Fuuga, is friends with several women that are much bigger than her, making her feel insecure about her appeal.
- Cannot Spit It Out: She's quite obviously in love with Fuuga, but alongside his denseness, she finds it really difficult to be honest with her feelings.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: She does not like it when she sees Fuuga interacting with other women, especially ones more endowed than her. This insecurity mostly fades when said more endowed other women assure her they're rooting for her and Fuuga.
- Eyes Out of Sight: The hair-like part of her head has the "bangs" completely covering her eyes.
- Insecure Love Interest: Based on her difficulties in being willing to admit her feelings towards Fuuga, and occasional feeling of inadequacy towards the more well-endowed women that Fuuga is friends with, it's heavily implied that Sera does not see herself as worthy of being Fuuga's lover, or at the very least is uncertain whether Fuuga would ever return her feelings if she confessed.
- Shock and Awe: Her demonic power is the ability to create and manipulate electricity.
Valentine
A "hyperdimensional" demon idol who has recently become very famous at the time of the story. She hails from the Special Administration Zone, an autonomous region where demons who don't want to live among humans are allowed to live without interference in exchange for ceasing hostilities towards humans. However, her spike in popularity also coincides with a spike in incidents of demons transforming into their demonified forms.
- A-Cup Angst: Not as endowed as most of the other female demons in the cast. Unlike her fellow angst-sufferer Chiharu, however, she can actually do something about it. When she and Chiharu hang out with Merii and Teresa and Valentine gets noticeably upset at the bust sizes of their companions, Chiharu witnesses her use her shapeshifting to enlarge her chest on the spot.
- Compelling Voice: An organ located near her vocal cords gives Valentine the ability to force demons who hear her voice to involuntarily demonify. Precisely because it's involuntary, the demons lose their wits and potentially become dangerous. This works with both her live voice and recordings and broadcasts of her voice. However, Valentine herself did not know about this until her first live concert and was horrified by the discovery.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She has pale-blonde hair, and she's a genuine Nice Girl that enjoys singing because it makes people happy and truly wants to bring about peaceful coexistence between humans and demons.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Valentine, who has spent years training her singing voice in the hope that her songs can help bring true peace between humans and demons, is utterly horrified when she discovers that her voice has the hidden power to force demons to demonify, which could very easily spread the image of demons as out-of-control monsters instead. She begs Merii to remove her vocal cords so that she can never cause harm like that again. Fortunately this is subverted in the end: Merii was able to identify the organ that was the true cause of the effect, and removed that instead.
- The Gadfly: Valentine loves seeing how people react to her. She often goes out shapeshifted into another form then changing back to see how people respond to her sudden appearance. When she hears how excited Lizette got at the autograph she'd left for her, she signs a copy of her newest album and hopes to see how Lizette reacts to that.
- Idol Singer: Valentine became one for both demons and humans in the hope of helping the two species come together.
- In-Series Nickname: Perhaps the only one that doesn't come from Merii, though the joke in the nickname is Lost in Translation. In Japanese, Valentine's name is spelled "Barentain" due to how the written language works. This results in her old friends in the S.A.Z. calling her "Ba-san" for short. Thing is, "Basan" is also a shortening for Oba-san, or "aunt", which is a term used to refer to middle-aged women, not youngsters like Valentine. Unsurprisingly, she's not fond of the nickname herself.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Valentine's introductory arc features a side plot in which demons are demonifying at random in populated areas. The only commonalities are the demons themselves didn't seem to do it on purpose and have no memory of the fact afterward, and each incident featured Valentine's music playing somewhere. This makes Zeke suspect that Valentine has the power to force demons into their demonified forms against their will, and suspects she's doing it intentionally. He's half-right, in that Valentine's voice can force demonification, but Valentine herself didn't know she could do that. For this reason, when her first concert results in the demons in the audience starting to demonify, she's just as shocked as everyone else. Events work out so that everyone is made to think it's All Part of the Show, but Valentine is horrified to discover what she can do, as her own voice could destroy her dream of peace between humans and demons. She approaches Merii, fully prepared to have her vocal cords completely removed by Merii's healing powers. Fortunately Merii is able to solve the problem while still enabling Valentine to continue singing as an idol.
- Rags to Riches: Flashbacks of her time int he Self-Administrated Zone show her in simple, dirty clothing. As an idol, she is noticeably better off. Even if she's not at Merii's Fiction 500 levels, she's still selling merchandise and acquiring fame. This has not gone to her head, however, as when she is included in a feast at the end of the S.A.Z. infiltration, she and a friend agree to sneak some of the food out for their poorer friends.
- Shapeshifting Trickster: Valentine likes to use her shapeshifting to go out on the town incognito and see how people are reacting to her celebrity self. She also likes transforming into others as a joke or prank. For example, she transforms into Chiharu before visiting Lorem and Gospel to see what happens, and is honestly surprised Gospel can pick her out from the real Chiharu.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: This is Valentine's special power. Every demon can shapeshift to some degree due to demonification, but Valentine is in a class all her own. Initially she can even transform into inanimate objects, but after Merii fixes her voice she says that the power has grown weaker. Even then she can still assume the form of any person, human or demon, that she wants.
Zeke
A demon who works for the "Counter Asmodean Tactical Team", or C.A.T.T., which serves as a police and military force that monitors demon activity. Zeke is one of its officers, using his unique poison to subdue even the strongest demons. He has a particular interest in Lorem.
- Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: The flashback following the chapter that reveals Zeke is Gospel's father shows his history with C.A.T.T. fighting renegade demons. He abandoned the job after meeting Lorem. He returned to C.A.T.T. to help keep the then-pregnant Lorem off the radar as much as possible, as there was increasing scrutiny regarding independent demons once the war finally died down. He went so far as to play up the infamous Lorem as his arch-enemy to keep their own connection secret. He also got Merii released from human custody and anonymously informed her of Lorem's location and Gospel's birth. Zeke has every intention of returning home once he can be sure Lorem and Gospel will be safe, and feels confident of that day's coming as Human-Demon relations improve and C.A.T.T.'s mandate steadily weakens. The final chapters show that he indeed accomplishes this feat, and he and Lorem even have a second child, a baby girl named Freya.
- I Just Want to Have Friends: A big part of Zeke's backstory is that he wanted to make friends and be closer to people. Unfortunately, he couldn't do so among demons because his very presence kept them from using abilities due to his poison. Among humans he found people who treated him kindly, but nobody he was close to, and the demons who worked with C.A.T.T. alongside him were mostly hedonists Zeke didn't much care for. When his team are sent after Lorem, she expresses much the same feeling, that nobody ever gave a damn about her except for how much they could use her or how dangerous she was. Rather than kill her as instructed, Zeke spared her, she stuck around, and they grew close and fell in love.
- The Mole: Minami's department is something of a rival faction to C.A.T.T. Despite this, Zeke chose to aid Minami in resolving the Valentine incident peacefully instead of following what were later revealed to be orders to keep Valentine's powers quiet and use the incident as a pretext to enter the Special Administration Zone. He also accepts Minami's request to guard Chiharu and Gospel when Lorem goes into the S.A.Z. to rescue Eliza.
- Not So Above It All: Zeke is a stoic and serious type a great deal of the time, and often seems anti-social on top of that. A mini-chapter during Zeke's time together with Lorem has him doing some grocery shopping. He picks up some meat and imagines Lorem asking if her breasts have grown, then looks at some liquor and imagines a drunk Lorem coming on to him. He immediately buys both and consequently forgets one of the things he had gone to the store for to begin with (kerosene for the heater). The title of the chapter "A Certain Winter's Day", implies this was the night Gospel was conceived.
- Poisonous Person: Zeke's ability is to create a nonlethal poison that can prevent other demons from using their abilities. It makes him very valuable to C.A.T.T. but has hampered his ability to connect with other demons since his mere presence can prevent them from using their powers. It's later revealed his poison was the basis for the Anti-Demonification gas that humans used to secure victory in the war.
- Power Nullifier: What Zeke's poison acts as. Any demon affected by it becomes unable to demonize. Zeke's poison is also the basis for the Anti-Demonification weapons that end the war in humanity's favor.
- Sole Survivor: Zeke's co-workers in C.A.T.T. believe he despises Lorem because, years ago, he was the only demon to make it out of an attempt at killing Lorem. This isn't true, but Zeke plays it up because it better helps keep the fact that Lorem is actually his wife secret.
- Spell My Name With An S: Fan translations are very inconsistent with his name. He's initially introduced as "Jiku", which is how his name is literally presented. However, later it's shifted from Jiku to "Sieg". Translations from chapter 93 onward use "Zeke".
- Walking Spoiler: Not initially, but the fact that Zeke is Gospel's father is a major reveal that places his every action up to that point, not least of which is his agreeing to protect Chiharu and Gospel, in a whole new light. In particular, his backstory is significantly linked to Lorem's.
