From Class 3-AKugimya Madoka- Action Girl
- Battle Aura: It's blue, and only shows up when she's using her ki.
- Berserk Button: Hurt Misa, you're dead.
- Famed in Story: She is well known as a Badass to the extent that she can't go near the fighting clubs without being challenged to a fight on the spot.
- Godzilla Threshold: The only thing that can get Madoka to use her ki at this point in her life is someone about to murder Misa right before her eyes.
- Super Mode: When Madoka goes all out with her ki to the point where she loses control, she stands up straighter and just generally looks "like something out of a dream or a nightmare", becoming strikingly beautiful as opposed to her normal mildly attractive appearance, according to Negi.
- Willfully Weak: She consciously refrains from using her massive ki while fighting because she's afraid she'll lose control like she did in Still Waters 1 (see chapter 18 and up). It helps that in the setting, she is easily capable of taking out any normal fighter without taking advantage of it.
Kakizaki Misa- Badass Boast: In chapter 3, after the Curb-Stomp Battle between Nelle and Madoka: "You have crossed a line. What you did to Madoka, that…"/"If…if something happens, there is nowhere you can run that will be safe. I will never give up. Even if I have to…even if I have to kill the girl, even if I die myself, I swear I will destroy everything." It takes a minute for it to sink in, but the ancient evil artifact actually gets scared of Misa.
- Berserk Button: Don't mess with Madoka.
- In Love with Your Carnage: She shows hints of this in chapter 4 when, in a daze and unable to think clearly due to the severe beating Nelle just gave her, she watches Madoka with her aura blazing away going berserk on Nelle.
Miyazaki NodokaAyase Yue
Other StudentsLiliana Rosario- Big Brother Worship: She looks up to her big brother Ruben to a ridiculous extent.
- Blackmail: Almost immediately upon their first meeting, Liliana tries to blackmail Madoka into helping her. Perhaps not surprisingly, Madoka doesn't respond well to the attempt.
- Brainy Brunette: While she's not a genius in class, she is rather intelligent.
- It's All My Fault: Liliana is the one who left the extremely powerful ancient artifact left behind by her brother out in the open, resulting in her friend Nelle getting possessed by it.
- Knife Nut: She is shown several times to have knives hidden about her person.
- Quirky Curls: Her hair is quite curly.
- Younger than They Look: Madoka, at least, as a third year high school student initially thought Liliana was almost the same age; Liliana is actually a middle school student in Negi's class.
NelleSakai Reiko
Other CharactersGotokuji- Badass Bystander: He's the first one to give Nelle any significant trouble in combat; he even managed to last longer than Madoka did her first time around.
- Heroic Willpower: When he is ordered to attack Madoka, he does his absolute best to fight against the mind control powers of the mask and keep from hurting her for as long as he can until Madoka takes him down and Misa binds him with magic.
The Mask- Artifact of Doom
- Blood Knight: It doesn't care about personal squabbles or money or who's in charge of who; it just wants to fight.
- Clingy MacGuffin: Once you put the mask on, you cannot take it off easily.
- Evil Weapon: Not quite a weapon, but it is quite evil and has a mind of its own, and even has its own mental image of itself as a massive man in scaly armor.
- Telepathy: This is how it communicates with other people, since Nelle is mute.
Ruben Rosario- Shrouded in Myth: He was the former "Ace of Spades", and did a lot of good things for the town eight years before the story; even the ghosts remember him as somebody strong.
Serge Rosario For Absent Friends Still Waters: For Absent Friends
Max LinellNegi SpringfieldTakahata TakamichiMinamoto ShizunaJingleByron The Water Mage- Badass in a Nice Suit: Not shown in story, but he is implied to be an extremely powerful mage.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: Because he's not as glamorous as Max, Jennifer, Guy, or Arvel even though he used to routinely beat all four of them in spar sessions, the new agents don't respect him enough.

- Drives Like Crazy: On a Vespa scooter, no less. Antics include jumping the scooter up onto a narrow ledge over a river, using her pactio artifact to leap the thirty feet between ledge and land, and darting at high speeds through narrow alleys, occasionally knocking off a side mirror or two.

- Indy Ploy: Most of her plans are of this nature, bad plans made up on the spot.

The Professor's RobotsThe Professor created dozens upon dozens of robots in a secret warehouse laboratory, using a three part naming system. The first letter indicates the gender of the robot, the number indicates the model, and the final letter indicates that particular unit's place in that model run. Each unit was hand built, and not all examples of a particular model run were suitable to activate. This list is in order of age, oldest to youngest by build date. N2BThe oldest surviving unit, it is commonly called "he" in spite of having no gender. M2AThe second oldest surviving unit, it is male and is one of the most aggressive of the surviving units. F7DThe oldest surviving female unit, her specialty was material synthesis, and she is the one who provided the synthetic skin that the others use to hide their true nature when it is necessary to go out among the populace for materials or anything else. She has a strong temper. She is the oldest surviving unit that could pass as a human. FX8-a "Sarah:A highly advanced prototype without an emotion center, the Professor abandoned the project shortly before activation. DronesSeveral dozen simpler units created to provide backup processing power for FX8-a. They have no will of their own. - Hive Mind: They function as this for FX8-a, who knows everything they know and can give them orders through their built in network or take control of any individual member.
F9AThe youngest female unit, activated by the others hours before the Professor passed away in an attempt to cheer him up. Her specialty is maintenance; she is the reason the remaining units have functioned for as long as they have. M9HThe youngest remaining male unit, an error in construction resulted in a blown processor, which greatly restricts what he is capable of doing.
