History Characters / SpecialA

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Make no mistake, Yahiro has justified reasons why he believes that people who are lower from their station would take advantage of them. He is not exactly wrong either when Akira's former friend Sayo took advantage of her loneliness to exploit her wealth and privileges, but he is also wrong on keeping them under wraps from Akira that perpetuated the misunderstanding between them, leading him to lose Akira to [[spoiler: Tadashi.]]

* ForTheEvulz: Acts like this is his motivation for screwing with Akira and Kei.

%* HiddenHeartOfGold
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: His entire motivation. He drives off anyone who poses a threat to Akira while taking the blame so she'll never know she was betrayed. After she gets together with Tadashi he promptly drops out of the picture.

%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* KnightTemplar: Towards Akira and Kei.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney

* {{Tritagonist}}: He is clearly the third most important character by the end, which is ironic since he isn't even part of the titular S.A. He plays a larger role in a higher number of arcs than any character not named Hikari or Kei.

* TheBeard: In one arc in the manga, Megumi has told her mother that she will bring her boyfriend to a concert that the family will be attending. Only thing is, she doesn't have a boyfriend. Guess who gets roped into filling this role?

** {{Bishonen}}
*** BishieSparkle

* BigFancyHouse: Lives in one.

* {{Bishonen}}

* {{Bishonen}}

* {{Bishonen}}

* {{Keigo}}: He uses very polite language that contrasts his boastful pronoun [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns "ore"]].

* LoveMakesYouEvil: He's acts like a possessive jerk towards Akira and is a PoisonousFriend to Kei. In both cases, he's motivated by genuine concern and believes they'll be better off for it.

* PoisonousFriend: To Kei and Akira.

* PoisonousFriend: In Kei's eyes; since Aoi is loyal to Kaname (Kei's grandfather) and instrumental in executing many of his plots, Kei resents Aoi's presence.

* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: He's rather prone to stomach ailments, which exacerbates his lack of appetite.

* BerserkButton: Anyone claiming that she's second-best. Kei intentionally invokes her ire most often by constantly calling her "Miss Second Place," but Yahiro isn't above teasing her with this. Taken UpToEleven in the final competition between Kei and Hikari in the series - Kei has to find the real Hikari amongst [[MesACrowd a host of impostors]], and Kei gets creeped out when they ''all'' respond appropriately to "Miss Second Place" in unison.

** In the manga, taken UpToEleven - he also takes the time to give the guys who made the test corrections on their grammar.

* RapunzelHair

* RapunzelHair

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Purple Hair]]: Although it could easily be stylized black.

* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: Anime only.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Pink actually.

* BeautyMark

* {{Megane}}

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Would come off as one, seeing how she ''adores'' cute schoolgirls (like Hikari, to a lesser extent Megumi). [[spoiler: Only she isn't, as seen with her and Tadashi.]]
** CampStraight

* BerserkButton: Do not try to hurt Hikari in his presence. ''Ever.'' Also, don't insult her cooking to his face - your best-case scenario is receiving a DeathGlare.

* CanNotSpitItOut: You know, for being as smart as he is, you'd think Kei would have the brains to just explain how he feels if he was really interested in dating Hikari (particularly given how distressed he gets at times by her cluelessness).

* NotSoStoic: ''When'' Hikari gets in trouble or whenever Hikari misinterprets him.
