* AGodAmI: His ultimate goal is to find the Tedlar's predecessors, and "become a complete being above life and death."



* FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: Sees humanity, as a whole, as nothing more than a debase ''corruption'' to the "purity" of Tedlar/demons, and wishes to utterly annihilate humans, leaving no survivors. Unfortuntely, tedlar need human shells for their very existence which makes his goal completely and practically impossible.

* CircularReasoning: He's entirely convinced that humans are nothing more than rutting beasts, and deserve extermination. So he surrounds himself, whenever possible, with humans that are nothing more than rutting beasts, even having an on-screen PaidHarem, act like it, and then as said harem of prostitutes is servicing him, kills the closest one in disgust to have the rest stare back at him in terror.

* {{Kuudere}}: He may be great at casual flirting, but in a legitimate romantic encounter, he's very stand-offish.

* TheCorruption: Unique to only Shi-chan in that if he wishes to utilize more of Inferno's power, he must allow Inferno to corrode more of his soul. While Gehenna is in favor of this, Inferno is just as against it because once it crosses a certain threshold, Shi-chan will cease to exist.



* 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.
* DistractedByTheSexy: His brain had to reboot upon seeing Chae-hee in a school uniform, [[spoiler: and it almost got him killed when one of Pandemonium's spies went after him.]]

* SoBeautifulItsACurse: As early as chapter 1, he shows that being a professional model with women his own age constantly fawning over him, treating him as either MrFanservice or a MealTicket has left him truly jaded regarding women. When Chae-Hee shows him genuine affection, for his ''personality,'' without trying to force herself on him, he's utterly baffled and clueless as to how he should respond. He winds up treasuring women who genuinely treat him as a person. Chae-Hee, Nancy Swallow, and Ilda Yui take the top of the list.

His family home has a guest room that's bigger than Chae-hee's entire home, and that's where Chae-hee ''happily'' lives with her little brother. Further, all his social interactions are purely superficial, until Chae-hee comes along and sees that he's actually ''very'' insecure about himself, and is too scare/proud to reach out to others.

* ByTheBookCop: Surprisingly. FantasticRacism aside, she knows who her friends are, and takes the creed "To protect and serve" seriously.
* FantasticRacism: Towards Tedlar. Upon her introduction, she was part of an operation that slaughtered a ''priest'' who was nothing but beneficial to his community, purely because he's a tedlar. [[spoiler: She outgrows this, to a point, after being rescued by Shi-chan and Inferno.]]
* GirlishPigtails: As part of her uniform.

* AscendedFangirl: Of Shi-Chan, amazingly enough. She recognized him from a model catalog, and asked for his autograph, which he was only too happy to give.
* BarrierWarrior: Like Ganessa, she can project a field to briefly paralyze teldar. It's much, much smaller and weaker than Ganessa's however.
