St. Miator
Nagisa Aoi
Voiced By: Mai Nakahara
Nagisa Aoi is the main protagonist of "Strawberry Panic!" Nagisa transfers to an all-girls school named St. Miator Girl's Academy, the result of her parents traveling overseas for work, whereas Nagisa chose to stay behind.
- All-Loving Hero: She cares about everything and everyone.
- Big Eater: She has a large appetite, especially for sweet foods.
- Chick Magnet: Nagisa has Tamao and Shizuma practically fighting over her. Chiyo also but to a lesser extent.
- Cool Big Sis: Toward the younger students.
- Curtains Match the Windows: Matching red hair and red eyes.
- First Girl Wins: The first girl in the series to make an appearance and the one to become an official couple with Shizuma at the end.
- First Kiss: Shizuma, Episode 12.note In the manga, it's in the woods at the end of Chapter 12.
- Friend to All Living Things: She is seen taking care of the plants in the greenhouse (even before she knew they were under Shizuma's care). In the manga, she kisses a fallen butterfly and seemingly it comes back to life and flies out the window.note She'll gladly give up her umbrella to anyone without one and is seen doing it.
- Genki Girl: Quite a bundle of energy. Shown to be able to cram effectively enough to pass all her Term 1 finals (including her worst subject, French) and then test the next day on only two hours of sleep per night and continue this for a week.
- The Heart: This trait is apparently quite distinguishing, as Amane Ohtori from Spica had commented that the other Miator students remind her of 'caged birds', but that Nagisa is extraordinarily different. One might theorize that she is one of few Miator students not deeply enmeshed in that school's traditions and customs and therefore more free-spirited and more likely to act according to her own impulses, rather than according to expected patterns. She certainly has a gift for energizing her surroundings and the people around her.
- The Heroine: The main protagonist of Strawberry Panic.
- Hope Bringer: For Shizuma and Tamao.
- Instant Fan Club: Shizuma's open interest in her makes her an on-campus celebrity.

- Morality Pet: For Shizuma and to an extent, Tamao.
- New Transfer Student: And Naïve Newcomer because of it.
- Nice Girl: One of the nicest characters in the series.
- No Sense of Direction: Which led to her first meeting with Shizuma.
- Oblivious to Love: Doesn't pick up on Tamao's romantic feelings for her.
- Onee-sama: Doesn't fit the characteristics, but she's looked upon like this by the younger students, particularly Chiyo.
- Post-Kiss Catatonia: Frequently falls victim to this by Shizuma. After their underwater kiss in episode 12, she appears to be in a daze afterward. Even a good, hard stare from Shizuma is enough to paralyze her.
- Replacement Goldfish: To Shizuma in the beginning. Over time this fades and is replaced by Shizuma's Second Love.
- Second Love: For Shizuma.
- Sweet Tooth: Nagisa has a fondness for them.
- Tareme Eyes
- Uke: Of the Yuri Genre variety.
Shizuma Hanazono
Voiced By: Hitomi Nabatame
Shizuma Hanazono is the current Etoile. She is a highly respected and much beloved person to most of the other students attending the three schools. She looks very mysterious and also seems to have a number of secrets to match this visage. This makes her a difficult person to figure out or to even talk to, for someone just meeting her.
- Anguished Declaration of Love: The Grand Finale sees her interrupt the Etoile Election to publicly profess her love for Nagisa. Nagisa is initially hesitant, but accepts, and runs off with her.
- Big Good: Part of being Etoile.

- Cannot Spit It Out: Until the finale, see above.
- Chick Magnet: Quite conscious of this fact.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Reacts rather harshly when she perceives someone making a move on Nagisa.

- Love at First Sight: For Kaori, and later Nagisa (to a lesser degree).
- Mystical White Hair: And she's mysterious to boot.
- Nature Lover: Always found walking in the forests, looking at trees and flowers, or tending the Etoilé greenhouse.
- One Head Taller: Than Nagisa, illustrating the Seme-Uke dynamic between the two of them. (Possibly justified due to the age difference).
- Onee-sama / Seme: Possesses characteristics of both archetypes. Older, taller, rich, aggressive, possessive, and more mature than her counterpart and love interest, Nagisa.
- The Ojou: Downplayed somewhat, but she does own a summer home a short distance away from the campus.
- Really Gets Around: After Kaori and prior to Nagisa, it was said that she had a new girl every month.
- The Slacker: Would rather do anything else but her duties as Etoile, much to Miyuki's frustration. note
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Saves all of her sugar for Nagisa. Lampshaded by Miyuki in Episode 18.

- The Tease: A particularly cruel one for Miyuki.
- Tsurime Eyes: In contrast to Nagisa.
Tamao Suzumi
Voiced By: Ai Shimizu
Tamao Suzumi is Nagisa's roommate. She is the first person Nagisa gets to get to know at the school and Tamao even helps Nagisa by showing her around the campus by introducing her to several of the other students as well as visiting the campus buildings.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Too nice to be outwardly jealous, but certainly clingy around Nagisa.
- Covert Pervert: She took Nagisa's full body measurements of her under the pretense of ordering a school uniform when, in a true desire, she just wants to write this 'precious data' in her notebook.
- Curtains Match the Window: Has blue hair and purplish-blue eyes.
- Dogged Nice Girl: Toward the end of the series, and from the looks of things, after the end as well.
- Dude, She's Like in a Coma: The end of Episode 23, along with love confession.
- Fan of Underdog: Her attraction toward Nagisa stems from this.
- Friendless Background: Part of the reason for her clinginess and later attraction toward Nagisa.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: In the GrandFinale she literally pushes Nagisa toward Shizuma after the latter's Anguished Declaration of Love.
- Moe Couplet: With Nagisa. Tamao clearly wants more than that.
- Nice Girl: Tamao has a nice, helpful personality.
- No Sense of Personal Space
- Red String of Fate: Hands one to Nagisa in the form of her ribbon before she departs for home in episode 12. Nagisa lost the ribbon after her underwater kiss with Shizuma and felt guilty about not returning to her. After Nagisa finds the ribbon, Tamao determines that the ribbon is symbolic of more than just their friendship.
- Romantic Runner-Up: She and Nagisa are the elected Miator couple for the positions of Etoiles. But Nagisa and Shizuma run away together.
- Stalker with a Crush: Recording Nagisa's screams sets off some dangerous precedents.
Miyuki Rokujou
Voiced By: Junko Noda
Miyuki Rokujou is the student council president of Miator. She tries her best at doing her job in keeping everything in line.
- Arranged Marriage: She's to be married to a man after she graduates.
- Beleaguered Assistant: Often, when Shizuma neglects her duties as the Etoile, Miyuki gets annoyed at her and scolds her about it. This behavior makes the two seem more like a mother-child pair than as classmates.
- Broken Bird: Implied. It is implied that Miyuki has unrequited feelings for Kaori (or Shizuma) despite having to marry a fiancé decided at birth after she graduates. When Shizuma forcefully kisses Miyuki as a "joke", Miyuki sees this as cruel perhaps because she feels that this is betrayal against Kaori, which makes her slap Shizuma. Alternately Miyuki could have been hurt by the kiss because Miyuki was unable to act upon her romantic feelings for Shizuma, and Shizuma's forced kiss was a reminder of that restriction - especially once Shizuma says the kiss was a joke, implying that Shizuma does not have romantic feelings for Miyuki and thus rubbing salt into Miyuki's wound.
- Blue Oni: To Shion's Red.
- Shipper on Deck: For Nagisa/Shizuma.
- The Stoic: Wasn't always this. Shizuma often called her a crybaby in their younger days.

- Student Council President: Of St. Miator's student council.
- Team Mom: For the entire school of St. Miator seemingly.
- Unrequited Love: For Shizuma.

St. Spica
Hikari Konohana
Voiced By: Miyu Matsuki
A rather shy and quiet girl most of the time, Hikari tends to not be very outspoken and it usually takes a lot for her to say what is really on her mind. Much like Nagisa Aoi, Hikari is also a transfer student, arriving at Spica in the second year. In that same year, she joined the St. Spica Choir (also known as the Saintly Chorus) with her best friend and roommate Yaya Nanto.

Yaya Nanto
Voiced By: Natsuko Kuwatani
Yaya Nanto is Hikari's roommate. She is a somewhat forceful girl who also seems to look out for Hikari, who she is in love with. She often has to force herself to smile as she helps Hikari get closer to Amane, and could only watch them from afar. So far, she has tried to become closer with Hikari, but due to Hikari's interest in Amane, Yaya is always shot down. This tends to make Yaya very depressed and reserved, causing her to avoid human contact for a time.

- The Tease: For Hikari.

Amane appears to be a very loved and respected member of the school, much like Shizuma Hanazono, although she is more of a local celebrity of Spica.

Chikaru Minamoto
Voiced By: Saki Nakajima
Chikaru Minamoto, a free-minded, playful girl and natural leader, occupies several positions of authority in the school: She is the student council of Lulim, the President of the Transformation Club (where members cosplay various themes), the Secret Club (where members try to solve mysteries), and a variety of other clubs which she regularly creates.
