Class 3-A
Negi Springfield
Voiced by: Rina Sato (Japanese), Greg Ayres (English)
A ten-year-old mage apprentice who gets assigned as the teacher of the 3-A class of Mahora Academy.
- Accidental Misnaming: At the beginning of the Negima! neo manga, Negi has trouble memorizing the names of his students, causing him to say Ayaka's surname wrong twice.
- Adaptational Backstory Change: In this version, the darkest parts of his backstory from the original manga such as the destruction of his hometown never happened or at least are never mentioned.
- Cannot Keep a Secret: He's so terrible at keeping his status as a mage a secret that all his students find out halfway through the anime.
- Forced Transformation: Midway through the anime, Negi gets turned into a Chupacabra and is stripped of his magic as punishment for exposing his secret to his students. He turns back to normal after forming provisional Pactios with all his students minus Eva and Chachamaru.
- Hates Baths: In one of the OVAS, Negi tries to avoid going into the bathhouse while using his finger being magically bound to Nodoka as an excuse, but Asuna doesn't let him get away.
- It Was a Gift:
- He got his Magic Staff from his Disappeared Dad.
- According to an OVA, his glasses were a gift from his older sister figure Nekane.
- Relative Button: In neo, Negi refuses to fight Kotarō seriously for no reason... Until Kotarō insults Negi's father.
- Shower Shy: In neo, Kotarō teases how "unmanly" Negi is being for keeping his towel on at the bathhouse.
Asuna Kagurazaka
Voiced by: Akemi Kanda (Japanese) and Luci Christian (English)
Armor card
Cosplay card
Suka card
Student No. 08. Negi's feisty roommate and the first to make a Pactio with him.
- Adaptation Personality Change: Asuna goes from being a regular Tsundere, having a job and more or less just trying to survive in the craziness around her in the manga and first anime series, to being a complete Cloudcuckoolander in the Negima!? anime.
- Adaptational Backstory Change:
- Asuna in this anime really is a normal schoolgirl with nothing special in her backstory. This is quite the change from the original manga, where she was an amnesiac magic princess with a mysterious connection to Negi's Disappeared Dad.
- The Negima!? neo manga does keep the amnesiac magic princess aspect, which is only revealed in the final chapters, but instead of being a human weapon that was rescued by Nagi, Asuna was sent away from the Magic World to protect her from a big war.
- Adaptational Comic Relief: Many of her more serious character traits from the original manga are discarded in favor of a loony girl who is obsessed with the Chupacabra.
- Adaptational Dumbass: While Asuna from the manga was never the brightest bulb, she does show signs of intelligence in areas outside of school. In this series, she's pretty much the dumbest character.
- Adaptational Superpower Change: Despite having the same armor as in the original manga, her Anti-Magic powers are never mentioned.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: It's pointed out Asuna has a bad habit to stop paying attention to everything around her whenever she gets some new strange obsession.
- BFS: Her Armor card gives her a giant sword.
- Car Fu: She throws a boat at Evangeline to save Negi from the vampire.
- Character Exaggeration: Her Book Dumb and Idiot Hero traits from the original manga are ramped up to turn her into the epitome of The Ditz.
- Cloudcuckoolander: She obsesses over weird things like the Chupacabra and is a total space case in general.
- Cool Big Sis: She acts like a spunky and protective big sister for Negi.
- The Ditz: Her defining characteristics are her stupidity and absolute cluelessness about everything around her.
- Epic Fail: She burned down the kitchen when trying to cook.
- Evil Costume Switch: In Episode 23, she gets corrupted by the Darkness after being kissed by a possessed Eva, causing her clothes to change into a red minidress with a black Badass Longcoat.
- Expressive Hair: Her Girlish Pigtails move according to her mood.
- Fashionable Asymmetry: In the outfit of her Armor card, her right leg has a greave while her left leg wears a blue thigh-high stocking.
- Fiery Redhead: She's a feisty and outspoken redhead.
- First Girl Wins: In Negima!? neo, Asuna is the first girl Negi meets at Mahora Academy and his first Pactio. In the final chapter, Negi stops Asuna from marrying Prince Fate and asks her to stay by his side forever.
- Full-Boar Action: Her Suka card turns her into a boar, fitting her hotheadedness and aggressiveness.
- Fun T-Shirt: She orders several packages of Chupacabra T-shirts for everyone in her club to wear. She's constantly trying to get people to buy them, but almost everyone finds them of bad taste.
- Heavy Sleeper: In her very introduction, Konoka tries to wake up Asuna to go to school to no avail. Judging by what Setsuna says, it happens often.
- I Am Who?: In the Negima!? neo, Asuna is a princess of a magic kingdom who had her memory erased and was sent to Mahora Academy for her protection because of a war in the Magic World.
- Kindhearted Simpleton: She's the biggest moron in the class, but has a big heart.
- The Not-Love Interest: She's the first girl to meet Negi at the school, as well as his roommate and first partner, but mainly due to this anime making her into Adaptational Comic Relief, her interactions with Negi are mostly platonic.
- Paper Fan of Doom: The equipment of her Cosplay card is a paper fan.
- Really Royalty Reveal: In the Negima!? neo manga, she's revealed to be a princess of the magic kingdom of Ostia who had her memory wiped and was sent to Mahora for her own protection during a war.
- Runaway Bride: In the final chapter in the Negima!? neo manga, Asuna's wedding with Prince Fate is interrupted by 3-A and she runs away with Negi.
- Scarf of Asskicking: Her Armor card gives her a white scarf as well as a BFS to fight.
- Scholarship Student: Konoka mentions Asuna attends Mahora Academy on a scholarship.
- Sultry Bangs: In Episode 23, when Asuna becomes controlled by the Darkness, her hair bangs cover her left eye and her clothes change into a form-fitting Minidress of Power to give her a sexy bad girl look.
- Tsundere: It gets downplayed compared to her manga counterpart due to being more of a Cloudcuckoolander here, but it's still there. Asuna is generally brash, hotheaded, violent and a Cool Big Sis who can be very nice to Negi on occasion.
Konoka Konoe

Armor card
Cosplay card
Suka card
Student No. 13. The bubbly roommate of Negi and Asuna.
- Adaptational Superpower Change: Konoka is never shown using healing magic in the Negima!? anime since her Armor card gives her a whip made of chopsticks instead. She does use healing magic in the Negima!? neo manga that keeps more elements from the original manga.
- Affectionate Nickname: Setsuna calls her "Kono-chan" the few times where she forgets to be formal with her.
- Childhood Friends: She and her bodyguard Setsuna played together for some time when they were kids. There's constant hints of a Childhood Friend Romance too.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Not to the extent of Asuna, but Konoka can still act eccentric at times. She'll try and do a form of fortune telling known as tortoiseshell readings... with eggs. When the first egg explodes, she thinks she just has to try again with more eggs.
- High Koala-ty Cuteness: Her Suka card turns her into a Super-Deformed koala so cute that Setsuna thinks I'm Taking Her Home with Me!.
- I Didn't Mean to Turn You On: Konoka's attempts to cheer Asuna up during the Beach Episode OVA end up with her unwittingly waving her butt in Setsuna's face. Setsuna then gives unconvincing excuses about her face turning red because the beach is so hot.
- Improbable Weapon User: The weapon she gets from her Armor card is a set of expanding fortune-telling chopsticks, which she is able to use like a whip.
- Laid-Back Koala: To match her easygoing character, Konoka's Suka card turns her into a koala.
- Making a Splash: She is able to spout water from the fans that come with her Cosplay card's costume.
- Male Gaze: In the Beach Episode, the camera and Setsuna like to put a lot of focus on Konoka's butt and breasts when she's wearing a swimsuit.
- Smells Sexy: Setsuna likes the scent of her hair.
- The Tease: She likes to tease Setsuna by doing things like inviting her to take a bath together just to get flustered reactions out of her.
- Water Is Womanly: In the Negima!? anime, Konoka can generate water when using her Cosplay card. She's an Ojou and the most feminine of her group of friends.
Setsuna Sakurazaki
Voiced by: Yuu Kobayashi (Japanese), Cherami Leigh (English)
Armor card
Cosplay card
Suka card
Student No. 15. The personal bodyguard and childhood friend of Konoka.
- Adaptation Species Change: In the original manga, Setsuna is a half-crow demon girl who was born with white wings instead of black. In the Negima!? anime, she's completely human and only gets wings from her Armor card.
- Adaptational Backstory Change: In the original manga, Setsuna is a member of crow demon tribe who was exiled for being a half-breed albino. In the Negima!? anime, she's a regular human who is descended of a family of servants for the Konoe family.
- Affectionate Nickname: Secchan, from Konoka.
- Bodyguard Crush: She has an obvious crush on her charge, Konoka.
- Can't Bathe Without a Weapon: When being paranoid in neo, she takes her sword to the girls' bathhouse for the sake of protecting Konoka.
- Character Exaggeration: Her Covert Pervert lesbian character traits are exaggerated in the Negima!? continuity, to the point pretty much all of her gags are about her Bodyguard Crush on Konoka. This is also true in the original manga, but the more action-oriented arcs allow her to have scenes that aren't about fawning over Konoka all the time.
- Childhood Friends: She was playmates with Konoka for a short time when they were children. However, Setsuna thinks it's improper to let their past friendship get in the way of her job as a bodyguard.
- The Comically Serious: Most of the humor involving her is about Setsuna taking everything way too seriously and coming off as pretty silly.
- Covert Pervert: She's very serious and formal most of the time, always treating Konoka with utmost respect. When Konoka is not paying attention, Setsuna does things like smelling her hair and ogling at her butt while she's wearing a swimsuit.
- Eating the Eye Candy: In the Beach Episode OVA, Setsuna has trouble keeping her eyes off of Konoka's butt which is barely covered by a tight swimsuit.
- I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: In the final episode, Setsuna is carrying Konoka in her koala Suka form. As Suka Konoka repeatedly comments on how comfortable she is in her arms, Setsuna wishes she could "take her home like this." Setsuna is so horrified at her "improper" thoughts that she proceeds to beg Suka Konoka to not let her hold her again.
- Improperly Paranoid: In one of the early neo chapters, Konoka gives a fortune-telling that Setsuna will lose something precious to her, which Setsuna assumes must be referring to Konoka (it turned out to be her cellphone strap that matches Konoka's). This makes Setsuna so paranoiac that she attacks anything and anyone posing even a minor threat to Konoka and sends Chibi Setsuna to follow Konoka to the toilet. Konoka gets so fed up that she blows up at Setsuna.
- Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: In Chapter 29 of neo, Setsuna defeats Tsukuyomi in a Sword Fight while wearing a beautiful kimono Konoka picked for her at the Toei Kyoto Studio Park.
- Legacy of Service: The Sakurazaki family have been servants and protectors of the Konoe family for generations.
- Power Gives You Wings: Her Armor card gives her feathered wings.

Student No. 04. Nodoka's best friend.
- Demoted to Extra: As a result of The Smart Girl role being given to Nodoka, Yue is nowhere near as significant a character in this anime as she is in the manga.
- Dull Surprise: In Negima!? neo, in one of the early omake segments with the Baka Rangers, while the Bakas make ready to fight their enemies, with Yue wanting to call their "giant robot", Makie is complaining that she never got to do her introduction properly. The Baka Rangers agree to let her go first (she had been last every time). She tries to do so, and the giant robot foot comes down on Makie, interrupting her.
- Elegant Gothic Lolita: Her Cosplay costume is a Victorian-style mini dress full of lace and frills.

- Bunnies for Cuteness: Her Suka form is a cute black bunny.
- Butt-Monkey: Despite trying her damnedest to be threatening, she gets beaten in an undignified way by Asuna and Negi. From then on, she's one of the most frequent victims of slapstick.
- Fantastic Racism: She hates the Chupacabra because she thinks it's a vulgar bloodsucking creature that gives vampires a bad name, so much so that she wants to kill it if she ever finds it.
- Heel–Face Turn: She's introduced as Negi's enemy. Once Negi beats her, she turns into an Aloof Ally.
- Insult Backfire: In Chapter 25 of the Negima!? neo manga, Negi sees Evangeline annihilating a nation's army by herself at the battlefield where she met Nagi. Negi calls this cruel and inhuman. In response, Evangeline is pleased that Negi is impressed by her true power. Negi reproaches that he wasn't complimenting her.

- Sour Outside, Sad Inside: She acts aloof and moody, but tears up as she expresses her unbearable frustration with being an unaging child imprisoned against her will at a school.
- Starter Villain Stays: She initially antagonizes Negi so she can drink his blood and break free of the curse from his father. After being defeated, she becomes an Aloof Ally to the class.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: The neo manga has her going on a rant about how she decided to become an evil mage because humans only treated her with fear and aberration ever since she was turned into a vampire.
- Tragic Bigot: The neo manga shows that centuries of being persecuted for being a vampire made Evangeline hate humans. Nagi made her see not all humans are bad.
- Tsundere: She tries to act like she doesn't care about anyone, but it's obvious she does like to help Negi and her classmates deep down.
- Vampire Lolita Archetype: She was turned into a vampire at ten years old, leaving her stuck at that age unless she drinks enough blood to transform into an attractive adult woman for a night.
