[[folder:Mana Takamiya]]
!! Second Lieutenant Mana Takamiya
!!! '''Voiced by:''' Misato (Japanese), Creator/FeleciaAngelle (English), Ana Lobo (Latin-American Spanish)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mana3.png]]
->''"I'll destroy every particle in your body."''

Shido's real sister. She was transferred from the DEM to the AST, where she holds the rank of Second Lieutenant, callsign Adeptus 2, to aid the Anti-Spirit efforts. She underwent a procedure to strengthen her body, making her a Wizard, and in exchange has only 10 years to live. In Volume 6, she is revealed to have defected to Ratatoskr, having been informed of this truth.

* ActionGirl: And a pretty badass one at that. She's stated to have killed at least one spirit (although it later turns out to be one of Kurumi's lesser clones), and saves Origami from Bayley's group in season 2 singlehandedly.
* ArchEnemy: She and Kurumi are constantly at each other's necks. Even when Shido tells her they have to work together with Kurumi temporarily, Mana begrudgingly accepts to assist.
* BadassAdorable: As expected of a cute pre-teen girl who is also a trained soldier.
* BigSisterInstinct: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Much like Kotori, Mana is dedicated to protecting her older brother Shido.
* ChildSoldier: Par for the course for most Wizards recruited by the AST/DEM, Mana was trained as a soldier to fight Spirits from a young age.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Towards Shido when Kotori is around, as she can't stand the fact that Shido has joined an organization with lots of contact with the Spirits and criticizes Kotori for it.
* DefectorFromDecadence: In Volume 6, she defects from the DEM after learning the truth about what happened to her.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Her Japanese voice actress, Misato, is one fourth of the band "sweet ARMS", which performs all opening songs.
* TheGlomp: She is fond giving bear hugs to Shido.
* HeelFaceTurn: She defects to the Ratatoskr's side after finding out what DEM did to her body.
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:The procedure that reduced Mana's lifespan was undone, thus saving her, not by Shido, the AST, DEM, or even Ratatoskr, but by ''[[ArchEnemy Kurumi]]'', of all people.]]
* {{Keigo}}: She has an odd speech pattern that combines polite Japanese with almost comically masculine Japanese.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Mana has no memory of her past and only knows Shido is her brother because of a photo of their childhood. It's presumed DEM sealed away her memories.
* LongLostRelative: She is Shido's biological sister, but was separated from him until recently and Shido didn't even know of her existence beforehand. [[spoiler:Turns out she's the really sister of Shinji, Shido's previous incarnation. 30 years ago, Mana was kidnapped by Westcott and the then-newly founded DEM, who used her against Shinji in exchange for Mio (the First Spirit). Shinji himself is gunned down by Westcott when the former tried to escape with Mio, who then absorbed Shinji in her body so he'll be reborn as Shido.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: A non-parental variation. Shido learns that Mana is his biological sister.....but we the audience learn different later on in the series. See that huge spoiler under LongLostRelative for more details.
* MercyKill: After seeing Bayley's sorry state after exerting herself too much just to pilot the Scarlet Licorice, Mana reluctantly kills her, but not before [[LetThemDieHappy falsely reassuring]] that Westcott will acknowledge her.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:When hearing Artemisia was helping Westcott and Ellen, she's visibly shocked and worried, stating she's an SSS ranked wizard (a rank higher than even the strongest known Inverse Spirit rank) and that had she joined when Mana was still Adeptus 2, she'd have been demoted.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:She was actually kidnapped by DEM a short while after the arrival of the First Spirit, meaning that despite her pre-teen appearance, she's actually in her early/mid 40s.]]
* OptOut: She leaves the DEM by the time Volume 6 rolls around.
* PreciousPhoto: She has a pendant which holds a photo of her child self and a young Shido, which is how she could recognize Shido as her long-lost brother. [[spoiler:However, that's not actually Shido in the photo, but her real biological brother, Shinji.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Once Mana learns about what really happened to her, she decides she's had enough of the DEM and leaves.
* ShipperOnDeck: For her childhood friend Haruko and Tatsuo. In Mana Again, she admits she was more surprised to find out they were Kotori's parents rather than they got married.
* SuperSoldier: She specifically underwent augmentations to become a Wizard, and it shows when she's able to mop up anything that's not a Spirit or [[WorldsStrongestWoman Ellen]], living up to her rank as Adeptus 2.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She practices kendo, loves sparring as a Wizard, and generally wears sporty outfits. However, she ends up wearing a frilly dress in Encore 8's dream world, with both Kurumi and Shido suggesting that she's actually into such clothing.
* TomboyishPonytail: Her hair is tied into a ponytail in contrast to Kotori's GirlishPigtails, a hairstyle that Mana refuses to wear so as to distinguish herself from the latter.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: She looks a lot like Shido, down to the hair color and eyes.
* WhatTheHellHero: Rips into Kotori for sending Shido into contact with Spirits unarmed, leaving him with no way to defend himself, after she saved him from Kurumi. She even calls her a failure of a little sister.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: She has only 10 years left to live, having undergone a procedure to strengthen her body enough to fight on par with Spirits. She's not told of this side-effect until Volume 6, and when she learns this, she defects to Ratatoskr who are treating her to try and regain her lost lifespan. [[spoiler:The procedure was finally undone by Kurumi using the last of her powers on her]].

[[folder:Elliot Baldwin Woodman]]
!! Elliot Baldwin Woodman
!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JojiNakata (Japanese), Ed Blaylock (English, season 2), Creator/JohnSwasey (English, season 3-4), Creator/HumbertoSolorzano (Latin-American Spanish, season 2), Andrés García (Latin-American Spanish, season 3-4)
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elliot_baldwin_woodman_anime.png]]

The founder and benefactor of Ratatoskr Machinery, Mr. Woodman appears in Volume 8 to interrogate the captain of the ''Arbatel''. He's said to use an unconventional method of communication and conversation, and is revealed to be one of the three founding members of [=DEM=] (the other two being current DEM managing director Isaac Westcott, and said director's secretary, Ellen Mira Mathers), and even worked alongside Westcott before the First Spacequake 30 years prior to the beginning of the story that made him defect from the DEM and start his own organization.

* TheAce: An extremely powerful Wizard. To the point he was the first Wizard created after the Realizer was invented and taught Ellen how to use it in the first place.
* AntiAntiChrist: Elliot's goal is to prevent the world and humanity from falling into Westcott's evil hands.
* ArchEnemy: Ellen despises him for betraying DEM and wants to be the one who kills him. [[spoiler:Volume 18 implies a bit of a WomanScorned.]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As shown in Volume 15 where it's revealed that he can fight Westcott to a stand still, not to mention being able to sever his arm. All coming from the guy who can stand up from a wheelchair. Even more in Volume 17 when he shows up to fight Ellen looking young and wearing his own CR-Unit.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: His relationship with Westcott even up to [[spoiler:the latter's death in Volume 19]].
* BigGood: Kotori, and by extension the rest of the ''Fraxinus''[='=] crew, answers to him, and he opposes Westcott's plans.
* CastFromLifespan: [[spoiler:His CR-Unit "Wodan" physically regresses him to his prime and allows him to defeat [[WorldsStrongestWarrior Ellen]], but he burns up his remaining lifespan and dies soon afterwards (though Shido would rewrite the timeline and he didn’t end up using it again).]]
* DefectorFromDecadence: Left the DEM to lay the foundations for what would eventually become Ratatoskr. He outright states that Westcott is his main reason for doing so, although Woodman seems to be still on friendly terms with him. [[spoiler:What he doesn't mention until Volume 14 is the specifics regarding the First Spacequake that made him leave. The other reason for him leaving [=DEM=] was that he, Isaac, and Ellen, were all responsible for the summoning of the First Spirit, and by extension, the first Spacequake and all the death and destruction it caused. Seeing the effects of that quake was the other reason for his departure from DEM... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking as was falling in love with the First Spirit]].]]
* FountainOfYouth: [[spoiler:Being able to transform into his youthful form to fight Ellen in Volume 17]].
* GoodCounterpart: To Isaac Ray Peram Westcott. While Westcott seeks to torment and use Spirits for his own benefit, Woodman founded Ratatoskr to protect Spirits.
* LoveAtFirstSight: He claims that he fell in love with the First Spirit at first sight.
* LoveRedeems: After he fell in love with the First Spirit, Woodman abandoned DEM and formed Ratatoskr with the goal of protecting the Spirits and preventing Westcott from achieving his "goal".
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: His last name "Woodman" likely comes from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Robert_Woodman William Robert Woodman]], one of the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
* TechnicalPacifist: Elliot is very different from his [[EvilFormerFriend evil former friend]], Isaac Westcott, who also serves as an [[EvilCounterpart evil counterpart]]. While Westcott is a depraved person who seeks to cause war, death, destruction and chaos as possible, Elliot, on the other hand, is a person who is reluctant to kill, seeks to maintain peace, freedom and happiness of the people without sacrifices.

!!! '''Voiced by:''' Nozomi Nishida (Japanese), Creator/JillHarris (English)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/karen_nora_anime.png]]

Mr. Woodman's secretary, and Ellen Mira Mathers' younger sister. Appears alongside the former in Volume 8.

* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Ellen's Cain. Both are secretaries to their organisations' respective chairmans. In Volume 8 Chapter 5, it's hinted that she and Ellen were already antagonistic to each other prior to the series.
--> "There is no problem. I understand my sister and I won’t understand each other from years ago."
* GoodCounterpart: To her older sister; Ellen Mira Mathers. She's the secretary for the BigGood Elliot while Ellen is the [[TheDragon secretary]] to the BigBad Westcott.
* RedOniBlueOni: The calm and collected Blue to her older sister Ellen's prideful and arrogant Red.
* SatelliteCharacter: She's largely defined by her devotion to Elliot, even admitting that she left DEM simply because he did.
* SexySecretary: Unlike Ellen, she rocks the look without AdaptationalAttractiveness, with glasses to boot.
* SiblingYinYang: Unlike her arrogant and talkative sister Ellen, Karen is stoic and silent.
* TheStoic: Unlike her talkative older sister, she's silent most of the time, and the few times she speaks are curt one-liners with an indifferent tone to them.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks very similar to her sister Ellen.

[[folder:MARIA]]
!! MARIA
!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/SuzukoMimori (Japanese), Creator/SarahRoach (English)

The AI of the Fraxinus EX

* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: She gains a physical body in Volume 19 with the help of Nia's restored Rasiel. After the TimeSkip, she can do so with just a Realizer.]]
* CanonImmigrant: [[spoiler:When she gets a physical body in Volume 19, it's based on Maria Arusu from ''Arusu Install''.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler:It's incredibly callous to blame Nia for the loss of her powers (the end result of getting captured, tortured, and made to relive the experience it all just when she was starting to open up to Shido), but there's no denying that Westcott became much more dangerous since he obtained Beelzebub; he found Mukuro in space, tracked down and trashed Ratatoskr's HQ, and forced Kurumi into a GroundhogDayLoop to stop constant assassination attempts on Shido.]]
* JerkassToOne: She can never give Nia a break.

* ShipperOnDeck: In one episode, she even plays therapist to Tohka to help her with her feelings for Shido.

* ChildSoldier: Par for the course for most Wizards recruited by the AST [=/=] DEM, but it's exacerbated by the fact that she has no memory of her past except for a pendant which holds a photo of her child self and a young Shido.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Mana forgot who her brother was. The only clues she had of him were a photograph of him and that she remembered calling him "onii-sama". [[spoiler:She also forgot about Mio, someone who apparently tried to prevent DEM from kidnapping her.]]
* LongLostRelative: She is Shido's biological sister. [[spoiler:The reason for their separation seems to be due to DEM, but unlike Shido she failed to escape.]]
** Or so we're led to believe. That pendant of hers mentioned under the ChildSoldier trope, the one that supposedly has a photo of her and her biological brother? That much is true. However, we'll be entering spoiler territory for the complete truth about that pendant. [[spoiler:That's not actually Shido in the photo, but her real biological brother, ''Shinji''. The reason for their separation is given light in Volume 17, where it is revealed that 30 years ago, Mana was kidnapped by Westcott and the then-newly founded DEM, who used her against Shinji in exchange for Mio (the First Spirit). Shinji himself is gunned down by Westcott when the former tried to escape with Mio, who then absorbed Shinji in her body so he'll be reborn as Shidou.]]
* LittleSisterHeroine: Much like Kotori, Mana is dedicated to protecting Shido.

!! Reine Murasame (村雨 令音)/[[spoiler:Mio Takamiya]]

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Reine claims that she hasn't had any decent sleep for ''30 years'', after consuming ''an entire bottle full of sleeping pills'', saying they weren't effective enough. Even Shido wondered how it doesn't kill her.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: She admits herself that if she had told Shido that Kotori's affection towards him had been at the max all along, most of Volume 4's schtick wouldn't have happened.

* TheInsomniac: [[ExaggeratedTrope Hasn't slept for 30 years]], or at least she claims. [[http://web.archive.org/web/20080513061843/http:/www.thanhniennews.com/features/?catid=10&newsid=12673 Might be]] TruthInTelevision. [[spoiler:It's because she is actually the First Spirit, who had been working tirelessly to turn countless girls into Spirits in order to purify the Sephira Crystals. She also has {{Catapult Nightmare}}s about Shinji’s death if she ever tries to get some shut-eye.]]
* IntergenerationalFriendship: She's Kotori's best friend, even though the latter, mature as she is in her black ribbons, is barely into her teenage years.
* MagicalBarefooter: While she is mostly seen dressed normally, [[spoiler:her Astral Dress lacks footwear like her original self]].
* MarshmallowHell: Gave Shido this in order to calm down in Episode 10 after he became anxious unto the other people involved in the battle. It worked, almost like it hadn't been the first time she had done it. Kotori actively shoves him into Reine’s chest in the first volume to gauge his compatibility with women, as well as early in Rinne Utopia to calm him down. Shido’s embarrassed, but Reine’s perfectly fine with it if it helps.

* MotherlyScientist: Acts as a surrogate parent towards some characters, mostly Shido, Tohka, and Yoshino. In one episode, she even plays therapist to Tohka to help her with her feelings for Shido. [[spoiler:If the ring present on the necklace of her teacher disguise and her reaction to Shido saying she was like a mother hint anything, she may have actually been a mother once.]]

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:She's the First Spirit, and a being of pure magic that's powerful enough to easily take down the Spirits in the main cast]].
* RedHerring: Have you read all those points under foreshadowing? Good, because Volume 17 just threw a huge wrench into all that with a big reveal. [[spoiler:She's actually the first spirit, Mio Takamiya, herself, operating under an alias.]]
* SpitTake: A ''delayed'' one, when she first sees Shido and Tohka go on a date.

* CastFromLifespan: [[spoiler:His CR-Unit “Wodan” physically regresses him to his prime and allows him to defeat [[WorldsStrongestWarrior Ellen]], but he burns up his remaining lifespan and dies soon afterwards (though Shido would rewrite the timeline and he didn’t end up using it again).]]
* DefectorFromDecadence: Left the DEM to lay the foundations for what would eventually become Ratatoskr. He outright states that Westcott is his main reason for doing so, although Woodman seems to be still on friendly terms with him. [[spoiler:What he doesn't mention until Volume 14 is the specifics regarding the First Spacequake that made him leave. The other reason for him leaving [=DEM=] was that he, Isaac, and Ellen, were all responsible for the summoning of the First Spirit, and by extension, the first Spacequake and all the death and destruction it caused. Seeing the effects of that quake was the other reason for his departure from DEM... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking as was falling in love with the First Spirit]]]]

* GoodCounterpart: To [[spoiler: Isaac Ray Peram Westcott.]]

* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: His last name "Woodman" likely comes from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Robert_Woodman William Robert Woodman]], one of the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

Mr. Woodman's secretary, and Ellen Mira Mathers[='=] younger sister. Appears alongside the former in Volume 8.

* SexySecretary: Unlike Ellen, she rocks the look without AdaptationalAttractiveness, with glasses to boot!
* RedOniBlueOni: The calm and collected Blue to her older sister Ellen's prideful and arrogant Red.

* {{The Ace}}: The Reine Holiday short story reveals that Reine can play the violin better than a professional, conduct better medical treatment than even the official Ratatoskr medical officer, act as a translator, and even pilot a plane. Kotori even notes that she has no idea where Reine obtained these skills to begin with.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kotori_3_6041.png]]
->''"Now, let our date (battle) begin."''

Shido's [[NotBloodSiblings foster younger sister.]] Loves her Chupa Chups lollipops. Commander of the ''[[CoolShip Fraxinus]]''. Her personality depends on the ribbons she's wearing: she acts like a perfectly normal girl her age when she's wearing white ribbons, but switches to a {{Dominatrix}} when she's wearing black ribbons. Nevertheless, [[{{Tsundere}} she still cares deeply for Shido.]]

* ACupAngst: She gets pissed off when Natsumi (in adult form) mocks her inferior figure. She’s also rendered speechless when her clothes don’t fit over [[spoiler:Mukuro’s]] chest. The ''Ais Catastrophe'' crossover campaign in ''VideoGame/MemoriaFreese'' also displayed this trait in an outfit story when Hestia tries out a replica of Kotori's commander outfit.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The anime considerably tones down Kotori's verbal and physical abuse toward Shido.
* AngerBornOfWorry: Whenever Shido throws himself into a situation where she doesn’t believe that his HealingFactor will save him.
** After Shido braves Yoshino’s blizzard (which would pelt him like a machine gun and freeze him if it detected Spirit power from his HealingFactor) to return her puppet, Kotori punches him and [[CryIntoChest tearfully]] berates him for not listening to her orders.
** She later punched him again with much sterner criticism after [[spoiler:her Spirit form narrowly avoids killing him when he jumped in between her and Kurumi (Kotori’s unsealed powers meant that he didn’t even have the HealingFactor at that point).]]
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove:
** At the end of her first date, a berserk Origami is determined to kill the spirit Efreet that's inside Kotomi, Shido has no idea what her Love levels are, and Kotori is weakened and frightened. Shido tells her that she's his beloved, cherished sister and that he loves her no matter what. Kotori is at first too flustered to respond, but at Shido's urging, she yells out that she loves him and always has.
** [[spoiler:When Shido tries to convince her to allow him to confront Beast, knowing that he may be killed without Camael's HealingFactor, she expresses how she can't bare to see him die because she loves him.]]
* BigBrotherAttraction: As a FreudianSlip, she mentions to Mana that being a blood-related sibling means Mana can't marry Shido. That said, put into account that Kotori and Shido are NotBloodSiblings.
* TheCaptain: As [[ImprobableAge improbable]] as it is, she's the commander of the ''Fraxinus'' ship, and directs Ratatoskr's operations when it comes to Shido dating Spirits.
* CatchPhrase: ''"Now, let's get this date started."'' to kick off each "mission".
* ClingyJealousGirl: To Shido when [[LongLostRelative Mana's]] around. She also doesn't take him telling her that he loves her...like a sister...too well.
* CoatCape: Has the habit of wearing her red commander jacket like this.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Her commander mode has a deeper voice than her white ribbon personality (though it’s still fairly high-pitched).
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red eyes and hair bordering on coral.
* {{Dominatrix}}: Has domineering tendencies when wearing her black ribbons, though it's mostly PlayedForLaughs on [[ButtMonkey Shido]] or [[TooKinkyToTorture Kannazuki]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When we're first introduced to Kotori, she wakes Shido up by getting on top of his bed and kicking him in the stomach. Then, Shido scares her but they quickly reconcile shortly afterwards.
* FieryRedhead: She's quite hotheaded and can alternate between ''both'' {{Tsundere}} types depending on the ribbons she wears. [[spoiler:It's taken to a [[PlayingWithFire literal]] level when she reveals herself to be the Spirit codenamed Efreet.]]
* FirstEpisodeTwist: She's revealed to be the commander of the ''Fraxinus'' in the first chapter/episode. The fact that she and Shido are NotBloodSiblings can also count as this in the light novel.
* FirstNameBasis: One of the things that alarmed Shido when he first saw her in her black ribbon "commander mode" was her addressing him by his name instead of [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseSiblingTerminology "Onii-chan"]] like her white ribbon personality that he grew up with. She will occasionally slip back in her more vulnerable moments. [[spoiler:This is so that he could view her as a woman rather than his little sister.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Anyone who pays attention to her eyes in the anime and light novels can easily tell that it has whitened pupils, and once Tohka finally appears, [[spoiler:it's clear those are a Spirit's eyes.]]
** Her [[spoiler:Spirit form's berserk state]] and the way she acts towards friend or foe is just a taste of what a Spirit will do and act like in [[spoiler:their Inverse Form]].
* FreudianSlip: While having an argument with [[LongLostRelative Mana]] regarding who is the better younger sister to Shido, [[NotBloodSiblings Kotori]] lets out that blood siblings can't marry... with Shido in earshot.
* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: She's quite weak to the horror genre, even in her black ribbons. Her crew exploited this in her birthday side story giving her a zombie film as a present, then causing a blackout to get her closer to Shido, with [[BringMyBrownPants excellent results]].
* GirlishPigtails: Sports long twintails, and is among the youngest characters in the story.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:The reason why she wears her black ribbons and her "Commander" personality in general isn't just for her to be strong, its so that Shido could view her as a woman rather than a little sister.]]
* IdiotHair: Has a noticeable forelock of hair in all appearances.
* ImportantHairAccessory: Her ribbons, more to show her ''switching'' personalities rather than CharacterDevelopment, though. She'll be the nice little sister with her white ribbons, or the sadistic commander with her black ribbons. This is because when Shido bought her the black ribbons for her 9th birthday, he made her promise to be a strong girl as long as she wears them. Guess it worked too well. [[spoiler:They eventually show her character development as, after realizing that Shido's feelings for her as a sister doesn't have to be inferior to that of a lover, she starts wearing one of each.]]
* ImprobableAge: She's the commander of a CoolShip in Ratatoskr at the age of 14. And according to the light novel, she had the position since she was ''8''. Volume 4 states that it's because [[spoiler: she was given Spirit powers when she was eight before they were sealed by Shido]].
* InsaneTrollLogic: Her reasoning for making Shido [[ExcusePlot date a Spirit]] falls on this: to make them harmless, they must come to love this world. Ergo, make them fall in love with you, and they will view the whole world as beautiful! [[spoiler:However, she has some basis for this, as he sealed her powers when she awakened as a spirit years earlier, though she was unsure of how he did it back then.]]
* LateArrivalSpoiler: ''VisualNovel/DateALiveRinneUtopia'' assumes you've read up to volume 4 (i.e. finished watching the anime's first season), as it makes no secret about [[spoiler:Kotori's identity as a Spirit]].
* LettingHerHairDown: [[spoiler: [[ShesAllGrownUp In her adult form]] in Volume 16. She wears her ribbon on her wrist.]]
* LittleSisterHeroine: Kotori is a [[ParodiedTrope parody]] of this when first introduced. Her [[NotBloodSiblings foster brother]] Shido (and others) even call her his "cute little sister". It then gets subverted when we meet her other personality. The romantic subtext is unclear; she is implied to have some not-quite-sisterly feelings for her brother, but doesn't have a problem setting him up with the GirlOfTheWeek. The only time she goes into ClingyJealousGirl mode is when [[spoiler:she meets his biological sister, Mana,]] at which point she reveals the level of her interest in him by arguing about who's better and finally declaring that not having any real relation is better because a real sister couldn't ever marry him.
* MaleGaze: Shots of her rear are often shown, mainly during the OpeningNarration. Even the first shots of her are her panty covered butt.
* MeaningfulName: Her name has the character for "five" in it. [[spoiler:See the entry on Efreet for more details.]]
* NeverMyFault: Berated Shido for asking Kurumi to show him her panties when [[IsThisThingStillOn she was the one who (unknowingly) suggested it to him]].
* NotBloodSiblings: The Itsukas adopted Shido when he was young. Although Shido does not see her as a LoveInterest, she definitely isn't content with staying his little sister.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She acts like a typical younger sister when we're first introduced to Kotori and Shido, with her freaking out when he claims he'll be infected with a virus that causes him to [[FriendlyTickleTorture uncontrollably tickle]] her if she doesn't let him sleep ten more minutes. When he finds her later in the episode, she speaks with a much different tone and manner than at the house. This is when he finds out she's the commander of Ratatoskr's ''Fraxinus'' airship.
* OralFixation: She often has a lollipop in her mouth.
* ParentalAbandonment: Both her parents are working overseas, and there is no mention of them coming back anytime soon. [[spoiler: Her parents finally make their appearance in volume 11.5.]]
* PhraseCatcher: To Shido, she's his "cute little sister". Regardless of the ribbons she wears.
* PromotedToPlayable: In the first run of ''Memoria Freese's'' ''Ais Catastrophe'' campaign, she was merely an assist. The second run made her playable as an adventurer in her Spirit form.
* ShesAllGrownUp: [[spoiler:Happens in Volume 11 where she's turned into a highschooler's age briefly by Natsumi. Happens again in Volume 16, this time as an adult.]]
* SignatureHairDecs: Her ribbons. They determine her personality depending on the colour. [[spoiler:Horns also stick out next to her ribbons when in Spirit form.]]
* SpitTake: Does this on Reine when she spots Shido and Tohka on their date.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: [[SweetTooth Lollipops]], which according to the light novel carry the Chupa Chups brand.
* TokenMiniMoe: She's 14 years old compared to the main cast's 16, and is even introduced as a LittleSisterHeroine.
* {{Tsundere}}: Strong type A or mild type B depending on her ribbons (black or white).
* UndyingLoyalty: She is the only girl whose Love levels for Shido ''never'' change. Regardless of any actions he takes, her levels are always maxed out because her affection for him has been cemented for years.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's very weak towards horror-related things, and possibly amusement park rides that go really fast like the sky drop and roller coasters.
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:Punches Shido after he agreed to Kurumi's game in Volume 16, risking the Spirit powers within him if he loses. Though she admits that he had no choice and feels partially responsible for losing contact with him at the time, thus she offers him to hit her back (he instead responds with FriendlyTickleTorture.]]

!!! '''Angel:''' Camael ([[BladeOnAStick Halberd]]) [=/=] Megiddo ([[{{BFG}} Cannon]])
!!! '''Astral Dress:''' Elohim Gibor
[[caption-width-right:348:[[labelnote:Click to see Efreet (spoilers)]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kotori_spirit_2_3580.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

Volume 3 reveals that she is the Spirit codenamed Efreet, having been turned into one by the Phantom, who then told her to kiss Shido to seal her powers. This was how she learned about Shido's ability to seal Spirits' powers. She takes them back to save him from Kurumi in Volume 3, then has them sealed again in Volume 4.

!!!Tropes applying to her Spirit form:

* AxCrazy: When she taps into Efreet for too long, she starts giving in to bloodlust, nearly killing Kurumi with a maniacal grin before Shido's pleas bring her back to her senses.
* BigDamnHeroes: She first reveals her Spirit powers to stop Kurumi from destroying Raizen High School by creating a spacequake to cancel out Kurumi's.
* BloodKnight: As Efreet, she slowly starts losing control of herself and practically begs for a good fight, taunting a defeated Kurumi about how disappointing of a performance the latter put up.
* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: Kotori's Angel takes the form of a huge, flaming battle-axe, prolonged use of which will make her succumb to destructive impulses and start gleefully trying to kill others.
* EvilRedhead: The bloodlust-stricken Efreet is easily as much of a threat as the AxCrazy Kurumi, although Shido manages to seal Kotori again.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Her eyes start giving off a red glow when she loses control of herself.
* HealingFactor: Shido's HealingFactor comes from her Camael. Kotori in turn got the Angel from Phantom. Kotori demonstrates just how ridiculous this ability is by shrugging off nearly everything Kurumi threw at her (including being shot in the head!) before writing the latter off with her Angel.
* HornedHumanoid: She gains a pair of {{Oni}}-like horns in her Spirit form.
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Her Astral Dress is a kimono worn loosely around the shoulders.
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:Kotori isn't actually the first wielder of Camael. That was actually Saya Yamada, Kurumi's friend.]]
* LettingHerHairDown: Her ribbons are tied to her horns in this form, leaving her hair to fall down freely.
* MagicalFloatingShawl: Her Astral Dress includes a floating, transparent blue ''hagoromo'' that adds to her Spirit form's mythical Japanese motif.
* MeaningfulName: Her Angel's name means "the severity of God", and her Astral Dress is Hebrew for "Almighty God". Considering just how [[CurbStompBattle brutal her victory]] over Kurumi's SuperpowerLottery was, [[spoiler:even if Kurumi was [[WorfHadTheFlu handicapped]],]] there's no contesting its rightfulness.
* PlayingWithFire: Her Spirit powers give her control over fire, and nearly all of her attacks are punctuated with violent flame bursts.
* RedBaron: Her Angel Camael is aptly described as "Blazing Annihilating Demon"
* RedEyesTakeWarning: As soon as Kotori's personality gives way to the bloodthirsty Efreet, she violently flashes glowing red eyes.
* RedIsViolent: The already {{Tsundere}} Kotori becomes dangerously unstable in her Efreet persona and has the ability to control fire.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Her Efreet persona nearly consumes her with bloodlust, and it's implied later on that her Efreet Spirit form may have its own SuperpoweredEvilSide.
* SuperpowerLottery: Unquestionably, what with her ridiculous power, her HealingFactor allowing her to shrug off just about everything that doesn't annihilate her, with offensive powers lethal enough to deal lasting damage even on other Angels.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Her Angel can change forms, from a [[BladeOnAStick Halberd]] to a {{BFG}}.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: A classic example; she nearly loses control of herself shortly after defeating Kurumi, and only Shido's pleas to stop snapped her out of it. This got so out of hand that she had to be confined like a Spirit, shortly before starting her own date with Shido.
* WreathedInFlames: When her powers are active, Kotori is accompanied by a blazing inferno.

* ShanaClone: Small, {{Tsundere}} (type A or type B depending on the color of her ribbons), long hair, Grade S ZettaiRyouiki, a fondness of lollipops and a [[spoiler:literal]] FieryRedhead to boot. She even has an IdiotHair just like the original.

* ChristmasCake: If she really is over 30 years old. Though it doesn't seem to bother her, [[spoiler:probably because with her reaction to Shido calling her a mother, she probably is or has been married before. And then volume 17 reveals that she, as Mio Takamiya, is Shido's surrogate birth mother]].

* HornedHumanoid: She gains a pair of horns in her Spirit form.

!!! '''Angel:''' Camael ([[AnAxeToGrind Hal]][[BladeOnAStick berd]]) [=/=] Megiddo ([[{{BFG}} Cannon]])

* AnAxeToGrind: Camael's default form is a massive halberd. It can morph into [[{{BFG}} a cannon]] strong enough to vaporize several of Kurumi's clones, and deal a lasting damage on her Angel.

* SwissArmyWeapon: Her Angel can change forms, from a [[AnAxeToGrind Hal]][[BladeOnAStick berd]] to a {{BFG}}.

* CryCute: Has her moments, such as When Shido had a real chance of getting KilledOffForReal in the process of saving Yoshino. It's coupled with CryIntoChest when Shido comes back from his "mission".

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Her Efreet persona nearly consumes her with bloodlust, and it's implied later on that her Efreet Spirit form [[UpToEleven may have its own]] SuperpoweredEvilSide.

* OlderThanSheLooks: Reine looks really young for someone who's been more than 30 years old. Then again, her most noticeable features would be her baggy and sleepy eyes.

* RapunzelHair: Waist-length twintails.
* ShanaClone: Small, {{Tsundere}} (type A or type B depending on the color of her ribbons), RapunzelHair, Grade S ZettaiRyouiki, a fondness of lollipops and a [[spoiler:literal]] FieryRedhead to boot. She even has an IdiotHair just like the original.

* SexySecretary: Unlike Ellen, she rocks the look without AdaptationalAttractiveness, with [[{{Meganekko}} glasses]] to boot!

* {{Meganekko}}: Of the PurelyAestheticGlasses variety, seeing she's seen with them just as much as without.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair is a light shade of lavender in the novels, but looks gray in the first season (later seasons are more accurate).

* IconicItem: Reine always has a small teddy bear with her wherever she goes, either in the pocket of her outfit or in her cleavage if she has no where else to put it. [[spoiler:Where she got it is revealed in Volume 17, where Shido had won it for her during her first date with him in the nearby town 30 years ago and has kept it fondly since.]]

* MarshmallowHell: Gave Shido this in order to calm down in Episode 10 after he became anxious unto the other people involved in the battle. It worked, almost like it hadn't been the first time she had done it. Early in Rinne Utopia, Kotori actively shoves him into Reine’s chest to calm him down. Shido’s embarrassed, but Reine’s perfectly fine with it if it helps.

* AbrahamicGodArchetype: [[spoiler:Mio Takayima has many aspects of God such as her code name as a spirit being Deus which means God, her astral dress is named Yah which is short for Yahweh. The ten Sephira crystals come from her just like how the ten Sephira originate from God like in the Kabbalah do. Her three angels are named Ain, Ain Soph and Ain Soph Aur for good messier which are terms associated with God before creating reality in the Kabbalah.]]
