This is a character sheet for the Pretty Sammy series.
Main Characters
Pretty Sammy / Sasami Kawai
Voice Actors: Chisa Yokoyama (Japanese), Sherry Lynn (English)
The main character. For her Tenchi Muyo! counterpart, see here.
- Badass Adorable: A rather mild case, but still, don't get her mad at you.
- By the Power of Grayskull!: "Pretty Mutation Magical Recall!"
- Deadpan Snarker: Is almost always in a state of being 100% done with all of this magical bullshit.
- Finishing Move: "Pretty Coquettish Bomber!"

- Transformation Trinket: Sammy's Baton.
Pixy Misa / Misao Amano
Voice Actors: Rumi Kasahara (Japanese), Sue Turner-Cray (English; OAV 1), Debi Derryberry (English; OAV 2-3)
Misao Amano is Sasami's best friend. In contrast to the outgoing Sasami, Misao is shy and physically frail. Misao gets brainwashed to being the Dark Magical Girl Pixy Misa, who's the opposite of Misao: loud, brash, and speaks a lot of Engrish (French in the English dub).
- Age Lift: Happens to Misao in Magical project S every time she becomes Pixy Misa as the latter is much taller and a bit more developed (enough for some bouncing on a couple of occasions), resembling a young teenager rather than a ten year-old.
- Beneath the Mask / More than Mind Control: Though the villains did need to put Misao into a trance to get the job done, Pixy Misa is Misao's deeply surpressed Id unleashed, the jealousy, rage and resentment she expresses towards Sammy / Sasami are Misao's real, albeit subconcious, feelings.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Rumiya (and sometimes, Ramia) would hypnotize Misao to transform her into Pixy Misa.
- By the Power of Grayskull!: In the final episodes of Magical Project S, Misao says "Pixy Mutation Magical Recall!" to transform into Pixy Misa, after she becomes aware of her identity.
- Combat Hand Fan: Her weapon in Magical Project S.
- Finishing Move: "Pixy Sexual Fire!" (AKA "Pixy Lovely Fire!" in Magical Project S)
- Green-Eyed Monster: She secretly envies Sasami.
- I Just Want to Be Special: One of her dreams was to have magical powers.
- Jekyll & Hyde: Misao and Pixy Misa's personas, respectively.
- Keep It Foreign: In the English-dubbed OAV, her Gratuitous English becomes Gratuitous French.Pixy Misa: "This is not the end of it. Au revoir!"Pretty Sammy: "Au revoir? Huh? What's that mean?"Ryo-Ohki: Don't know.
- Knight of Cerebus: An odd example in that she isn't this trope at first. But then episode 19 of Magical Project S happens... It's also unusual because the sudden turn to seriousness has less to do with her villainy and more to do with why she became a villain in the first place.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Misa is unaware of her actions as Pixy Misa.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Misao had this moment upon discovering that she is Pixy Misa, and that she was fighting Pretty Sammy.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: In episode 19, Pixy Misa became more powerful after inheriting Team Sexy Mrs.'s Sexy Power.
- Split-Personality Takeover: Is told by Sammy that she will still love her even if she stays as Pixy Misa for the rest of her life.

Konoha Haida
Voice Actor: (Japanese)
- Clingy Jealous Girl : She often intimidates Misao just because she also likes Hiroto.
- Fantastically Indifferent: Her reaction of finding out Misao is Pixy Misa? Chew her out for running wild in her outfit and acting like a shy bimbo.
- Girlish Pigtails: She has the "immature" variety.
- Red Herring: At one point, the villains need a new evil magical girl, and they choose their candidate from a photograph. Konoha is featured prominently in the photograph, and she has already become Funky Connie before, so the viewer will think Konoha is the magical girl candidate they're talking about.

When she reappears in episode 22 she turns to face the viewer and shows an image of the contestants in the first episode.

When Rumiya calls her on this Romio dismisses it with a Hand Wave.
