* {{Meido}}: Although she lacks a maid uniform, she fits every other aspect of this trope.

Even though his performance from that point on has been less than stellar, he does still think things through, and his failures tend to be due to lack of information rather than incompetence.

Character sheet for the Manhwa, Aflame Inferno

Main Characters:

!!Kan Shi-Chan
The protagonist. A teenage boy with emotional issues that often comes across as rather abrasive. Although he's handsome enough to be a famous professional model, and is the top scorer at school, in both academics and mock combat, there is nobody he can call a close friend.

* TheAce: He is ''the'' top student in his very prestigious high-school, in both academics and combat strategies.
* AudienceSurrogate: As he learns stuff about demons and the world setting, so does the audience.
* TheCharmer: Deconstructed. He is quite skilled at chatting up the ladies, as long as it's a purely superficial act. When he has honest feelings for them, he winds up tripping over himself, and being quite abrasive.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: His mother died while he was young. What's worse is that she apparently died in a fire that destroyed his family's home, and he had to watch helplessly. [[BadDreams He still has nightmares about it.]]
* TheDeterminator: This is his greatest strength, and the reason Inferno chose him as a host. His will to live is so strong that ''demonic possesion'' won't kill him, even though it's supposedly fatal on every occasion for the human involved.
* TheDulcineaEffect: Given a chance, he ''will'' come to a girl's rescue, even if he has little to no hope of success.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his fight with Gehenna, he pushed aside Chae-hee's younger brother, at terrible risk to his own life, despite being wanting to throttle the little boy just moments earlier.
* TheGlassesComeOff: Every time he calls upon Inferno, he removes his glasses.
* GoodParents: Even though his father is often away on business, and he has a step-mother, they both treasure him, and genuinely do everything they can to make him happy and see him succeed in life.
* HotForTeacher: At first. Now he's got too much other stuff going on.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He embodies the phrase "the porcupine's dilemma." The closer he is to someone, the more that person gets pricked with his quills. That being said, he does try to live a good and decent life and his parents have much to be proud of.
* LikesOlderWomen: When introduced, he was hitting on his older, but very attractive teacher.
* NoSocialSkills: Aside from chatting up girls, or professional settings, like a police interview, he's not good with people.
* ShamMarriage: He promises to marry Chae-Hee at graduation. He does this to maintain TheMasquerade and keep an eye on Gehenna.
* StoicSpectacles: He's not very good at showing emotion, and he wears glasses.
* TheStrategist: Upon his introduction, he took down a high-level demon near single-handed, by formulating a strategy to exploit its weaknesses. Even though his performance from that point on has been less than stellar, he does still think things through, and his failures tend to be due to lack of information rather than incompetence. Further, his tactics are all quite sound, based on the resources and information he has at hand.
