!Characters from Earth
!!Endo Aoto
The Play-by-Play Caster of the duo. Having been trained as a baseball player for most of his life, he moved to the Broadcasting Club after sustaining a CareerEndingInjury. Has an obvious crush on Kobayashi.
----
* CareerEndingInjury: He used to be on the baseball team, but an injury to his shoulder put an end to any dreams of going pro (which were unlikely to begin with, seeing that he was "barely average" in his own words). Shortly after, he met Kobayashi who encouraged him to join the broadcasting club, suggesting that maybe he could become a sports commentator instead. He's still trying to get over the angst, but live baseball on the TV can potentially be a TraumaButton for him at the time of the story.
* ConvertedFanboy: Endo only started playing ''Magikoi'' because his crush Kobayashi likes it, and hopes they can have more conversational topics. But still he got to play it for a month and a half before the current story.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: A minor case. He had a crew cut while he was playing baseball, but he switched to a more natural hairstyle since.
* StraightMan: Coming from a background that's diagonally opposite of gaming, he's usually the person providing the layman's opinion on ''Magikoi''.
!!Kobayashi Shihono
The Color Commentator of the duo. She's an energetic girl who happens to have an obsession over the RomanceGame named ''Love Me Magically!'', especially over Lieselotte, the supposed villainess. The story itself started as she pesters Endo to play the game with her.
----
* {{Fangirl}}: Kobayashi is one to ''Magikoi'', although she fixates on Lieselotte, the {{tragic villain}}ess. The story essentially started as Kobayashi pesters Endo to play ''Magikoi''.
* GenkiGirl: Very energetic, especially when talking about her hobbies.
* {{Otaku}}: While lacking most nerd traits, she is so big into {{Romance Game}}s the anthology serializing the manga refers her as such.
!Students and Faculty of the Royal Academy of Magic
!!Lieselotte Riefenstahl
The titular "Tsundere Villainess" of ''Love Me Magically!'', Lieselotte is the eldest daughter of the current Riefenstahl marquess, as well as the fiancee of Crown Prince Siegwald. In the game, she plays the role of the AlphaBitch bully towards Fiene, and ends up causing Siegwald to break up their engagement. The despair eventually caused her to be possessed by the Witch of Yore, and killed by the rest of the cast.
However, her route of the game's fan disc shows she never intended to be harsh to anyone, but her aloof and haughty attitude made her mistaken as actually evil. Kobayashi concludes Lieselotte as a misunderstood {{Tsundere}}, and would prefer if she had a better end that what the game gives her.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: While Lieselotte is very likely bisexual in the game's timeline--being in love with Siegward yet her love with Fiene is strong enough to invoke LoveRedeems--the question of whether she is still attracted by women is rather ambiguous in the novel's timeline, owing to her scenes with Fiene still limited to subtext.
* CoolBigSis: Fiene comes to see her as this after getting over her initial fear of the noble. Later on, [[spoiler:it becomes a literal version when Fiene is formally adopted into the Riefenstahl family. It is also inverted in this case, since the events surrounding Fiene's conception indicates she is most likely the older of the two.]]
* DemonicPossession: Her fate in most routes of ''Magikoi'' is to fall so deeply into despair that she gets possessed by the Witch of Yore, turning into a monster that is slain by the heroes.
* FreudianExcuse: So why does Lieselotte wear a mask of harshness and aloofness to disguise her true, warm feelings? It goes back to when she was first betrothed to Siegwald when they were little children. Lieselotte was delighted and hoped to earn Siegwald's love. But then her well-meaning but misguided father told her she would have to temper her expectations in that regard, because as the future king, Siegwald could not afford to favor anybody, even his own wife, and Lieselotte would thus have to be careful not to burden him with her feelings. This advice affected Lieselotte pretty badly and resulted in her present personality.
* InSeriesNickname: The commentators call her Liese-tan.[[invoked]]
* LoveRedeems: Endo and Kobayashi know that Liese resisting DemonicPossession is possible so long as her feelings of love and, more importantly, confidence in that love remains high. It doesn't actually matter who she's in love with, but they ship Sieg/Liese and go for that rather than the safer bet of the harem ending, which makes them uncomfortable. [[spoiler:Liese's constant intense feelings of love also reawaken the Witch of Yore's true nature, causing her to revert to her true form as a goddess.]]
* LuminescentBlush: Her face positively glows when she's called out on doing something nice despite her harsh words, or when Sieg gets close to her.
* NervousTics: She twirls her {{Ojou Ringlet|s}} when she's nervous.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: She takes a stereotypical AlphaBitch role in the plot of ''Magikoi'', seemingly putting down Fiene at every chance out of elitism and jealousy over Siegwald. However, as it turns out, she acts aloof and mean because she's too flustered to act in any other way and is bad at expressing her true feelings: that she loves Siegwald and is concerned about how Fiene is getting along in a new environment full of nobility. Her words sound sarcastic, but are an honest attempt to help.
* OjouRinglets: Being a high-ranking noblewoman, she has a noticeable hair ringlet on the right side of her head that [[NervousTics tends to twist around her fingers when she's embarrassed]].
* PromotionToParent: Lieselotte's mother is still alive, but she is [[invoked]][[ReclusiveArtist more interested in painting than in other's company]]. As a result, Lieselotte took the major role in raising her three younger siblings.
* RegalRinglets: Aside from her OjouRinglets, closer shots of Lieselotte's hair show half of her hair is in curls.
* {{Tsundere}}: The titular, Type A tsundere. She has a kind heart, but it is well hidden behind a very harsh front. Siegwald was led to believe she disliked him and that is why he drifts away from her in ''Magikoi'' canon, [[DeconstructedTrope leading to her demonic possession and death]]. Then Endo and Kobayashi come into the scene and explain Lieselotte's behavior to him, and Siegwald starts to understand and find it endearing, as does Fiene and everybody else.
!!Crown Prince Siegwald Fitzenhagen
The Crown Prince of the realm, and Lieselotte's fiance. His ability of hearing Endo and Kobayashi's commentaries kickstarted the story.
----
* InSeriesNickname: The commentators call him Sieg.[[invoked]]
* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Understandably, Siegwald won't know the UsefulNotes/AnimeFanspeak the two commentators use, such as {{Tsundere}} or {{Yuri|Genre}}, though he eventually figures out the former through context and has a partial understanding of yuri developments: Fiene and Liese getting along ''too'' well makes him uncomfortable for reasons he can't explain.
* PrinceCharming: In a RebornAsVillainessStory, if the villainess has a prince as a fiancee, that prince usually has some glaring personality flaws. This ranges from BrokenAce at the most sympathetic to RoyalBrat at the least. His initial misunderstanding of Lieselotte aside, Siegwald is one of the few whom is as genuinely charming as he appears.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: GodGuise aside, he is willing to accept proof that her fiancee is not an elitist AlphaBitch, and the scenes of him performing political activity also show his potential as leader, in that he might be the sanest among his teenage friends.
!!Fiene
The PlayerCharacter of ''Love Me Magically'', Fiene is a commoner girl who unusually gained the use of magic and thus suddenly trusted into the world of nobility. In the game she is supposed to be a rather generic girl who can romance one of the five targets, but in Endo and Kobayashi's playthrough, she turns into a somewhat different character.
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: She is this in both the original and the novel timelines. In the original game, her "reverse harem" route also includes Lieselotte along with several boys. In the novel timeline, despite being close to Baldur, her interactions with Lieselotte are noted by the commentators as [[HomoeroticSubtext "yuri developments"]].
* AnArmAndALeg: In the novel's timeline, she was attacked by the assassins chasing her and had her dominant arm cut off... except she immediately ''reattached'' it with healing magic and proceeded to defeat the attackers.
* BadassAdorable: She is adorable and cute...but also able to beat up people with her fists thanks to strengthening magic.
* CombatMedic: She possesses healing magic, however she is also a brutally (and comically) effective physical fighter far beyond everybody else in the setting.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: In the novel's timeline, she tends to use status magic on herself, to increase her status, and then fight enemies with bare fists.
* HeroicBastard: [[spoiler:She is the illegitimate daughter of both the Marschner and Riefenstahl houses via her mother Elizabeth Marschner and August Riefenstahl. This makes her Liese's cousin and, once everyone involves conspires to do away with the 'illegitimate' part, the strongest claimant to the Riefenstahl title.]]
* InnocentBlueEyes: She has a pair of sky-blue eyes, which fits well with her original role as the NaiveNewcomer. [[spoiler:She inherited those from her father August Riefenstahl.]]
* MageBornOfMuggles: She is this in the ''[=MagiKoi=]'' canon, being a commoner with magic while it is usually assumed to be restricted to the noble class. [[spoiler:Subverted in novel's timeline. Fiene is actually a RoyalBastard and her mother is shown to have powerful magic. Fiene's mother fabricated her background to hide her identity.]]
* NaiveNewcomer: She has some trouble acclimating to the magic academy, especially as she's a commoner and she is surrounded by nobles, thought to be the only magic-users. The love interests (and Lieselotte in her tsundere way) help her get along.
* PrincessPhase: She mentions when she was a child, she would play pretend princess with her mother one day a week. [[spoiler:This is the excuse Elizabeth uses to teach Fiene manners of the high society.]]
* ReallyMovesAround: She recalls in her early years, she and her mother had to move frequently to escape from people trying to hunt them down, sometimes moving once a month. Her mother explained that's because some high-ranking nobles are mad at her. [[spoiler:Those were assassins sent from Fiene's maternal ''grandparents'', and they're trying to hunt down Fiene, much less her mother.]]
* RoseHairedSweetie: In all timelines, she has rose-blonde hair and is a sweet person with a mostly feminine demeanor. {{Downplayed}} as the one in the novel's timeline is also [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak a martial artist and big eater]].
* RoyalBastard: [[spoiler:She is the illegitimate child of a duke's daughter and a marquis' son.]]
* SupportPartyMember: Subverted. Artur (himself a very powerful mage of this class) mentions Fiene, having strong healing and StatusBuff spells but little when it comes to ElementalPowers, probably belongs to the Priest class, this universe's equivalent to this trope. However, Fiene is more used to using the buffs on ''herself'' to aid her in manual fighting. And the healing? Good way to keep herself going if someone, say, chops off her arm.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fiene likes meat as much as a shounen protagonist. In fact, she refused to be a [[SupportPartyMember priest]] because priests require occasional abstinence from meat.
* {{Tsundere}}: She starts becoming a Type B as her relationship with Baldur progresses.
!!Baldur Riefenstahl
Lieselotte's cousin, who is a knight in training. In the game, he dies protecting Fiene in all but three endings, and thus is another target for VideoGameCaringPotential for Endo and Kobayashi. Has a crush on Fiene in all situations.
----
* InSeriesNickname: The commentators call him Bal.[[invoked]]
* KissingCousins: He is asked to marry one of Lieselotte's younger sisters as a condition of being Bruno's successor. [[spoiler:And his crushing on Fiene can't avert this, since Fiene is ''also'' a first cousin of Baldur's.]]
* SacrificialLion: He is doomed to be killed by the possessed Lieselotte in most of the routes (the exceptions are his own and the harem one) leading to Fiene's awakening. Endo and Kobayashi are as determined to avert this fate for him as they are for Lieselotte. [[spoiler:Later developments imply Baldur's death is another manipulation by the god stalking Fiene.]]
!!Artur Lichter
Coming from a line of prominent priests, Artur is an up-and-coming mage in that class, to the point that while at school he has been performing government assignments. He is ChildhoodFriends with Siegwald, but compared to the latter he is a bit more morally ambiguous.
----
* SupportPartyMember: The priest class specializes in status magic, and he is no exception.
!!Leon
A teacher in the Royal Academy of Magic, and another romance target. He specializes in curses or debuff spells.
----
* EyesAlwaysShut: As a result, Kobayashi considers him a bit shady.
* BastardAngst: He was born an illegitimate son, but his father legitimatized him because his official wife bore no children... until right before he came to age, so he lost inheritance immediately.
!!Fabien Oltenberg
The 11-year-old new student of the Academy.
----
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He specializes in area-of-effect spells. However, those spells takes a long time to chant. On the other hand, his mana is so vast that the kingdom didn't allowed him--but ''forced'' him--to enroll in the Academy out of the fear that he lost control of his mana!
* TinyMiniMoe: He is intended to be the "younger" romance target, and for the most part he still looks like an InnocentProdigy.
!Other ''Love Me Magically!'' Characters
!!General Bruno Riefenstahl
Lieselotte's father.
----
* OpenMindedParent: At his time, premarital sex is considered a form of adultery, and is would be a major scandal to many clans. Yet Bruno has little problem accepting [[spoiler:August and Elizabeth]] consummating their relationship against ParentalMarriageVeto, and outright calls [[spoiler:Elizabeth]] his sister-in-law the time he learns of the story.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Bruno definitively looks ''older'' than 30 years old.[[note]]It is noted his older brother August would have been 31 at PresentDay if he was alive, which means Bruno ''must'' be younger than that.[[/note]]
!!Elizabeth Marschner
Fiene's mother.
----
* ActionMom: She has ''profoundly'' [[OneWomanArmy little trouble]] with [[StormingTheCastle knocking down the walls of the von Riefenstahl estate]] when she hears false rumors that Liese has abducted Fiene to bully her.
* OjouRinglets: In her flashback, she is shown to have a pair of them when she was younger, when she was the daughter of a duke in name and fact.
!!Witch of Yore
The FinalBoss of the game who possesses Lieselotte in most routes.
----
* BigBad: The Witch of Yore who possesses Lieselotte is the final boss of the game and Endo and Kobayashi work to prevent this from happening. [[spoiler:Ultimately, it turns out the Witch of Yore is actually the corrupted form of the creator goddess Lilena, who became like that because of the real villain: her male counterpart who cheated on her and who's been trying to stalk and manipulate her reincarnation aka Fiene into loving him.]]
* WomanScorned: [[spoiler:The Witch of Yore is actually a goddess's corrupted state formed after her counterpart cheated on her by pursuing another woman, of whom Fiene is the reincarnation. Her possession of Lieselotte trying to get her to hate Fiene and later attacking her is her trying to get revenge on the woman. Once she returns to her original self, she's very apologetic about the whole affair and moves on from him.]]
!!Kuon
The secret "god target" of ''Love Me Magically!''.
----
* SecretCharacter: After clearing all five canonical routes, a "god route" is unlocked in ''Magikoi'', where Fiene can romance [[spoiler:the god who empowered her, and Fiene can potentially marry the god in question and joins him in his dimension. Puzzlingly, that dimension looks exactly like modern Japan, and the god looks so similar to a local celebrity to the point that many players suspected the celebrity's likeness was used without permission. As it turns out, that celebrity ''is'' the reincarnation of that god, attempting to manipulate the situation to force into a one-sided ReincarnationRomance.]]
* StalkerWithACrush: [[spoiler:The ultimate villain is actually the male counterpart to the Witch of Yore, who cheated on her to try to coerce a woman from long ago to love him. It didn't work and when he's unable to return to the ''Magikoi'' world, he creates the game to create a link between the worlds to bring Finne over to him.]]

A teacher in the Royal Academy of Magic, and another romance target. He specializes in curses or debuff spells.
----
* EyesAlwaysShut: As a result, Kobayashi considers him a bit shady.
* BastardAngst: He was born an illegitimate son, but his father legitimatized him because his official wife bore no children... until right before he came to age, so he lost inheritance immediately.
!!Fabien Oltenberg
The 11-year-old new student of the Academy.
----
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He specializes in area-of-effect spells. However, those spells takes a long time to chant. On the other hand, his mana is so vast that the kingdom didn't allowed him--but ''forced'' him--to enroll in the Academy out of the fear that he lost control of his mana!
* TinyMiniMoe: He is intended to be the "younger" romance target, and for the most part he still looks like an InnocentProdigy.
!Other ''Love Me Magically!'' Characters
!!General Bruno Riefenstahl
Lieselotte's father.
----
* OpenMindedParent: At his time, premarital sex is considered a form of adultery, and is would be a major scandal to many clans. Yet Bruno has little problem accepting [[spoiler:August and Elizabeth]] consummating their relationship against ParentalMarriageVeto, and outright calls [[spoiler:Elizabeth]] his sister-in-law the time he learns of the story.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Bruno definitively looks ''older'' than 30 years old.[[note]]It is noted his older brother August would have been 31 at PresentDay if he was alive, which means Bruno ''must'' be younger than that.[[/note]]
!!Elizabeth Marschner
Fiene's mother.
----
* ActionMom: She has ''profoundly'' [[OneWomanArmy little trouble]] with [[StormingTheCastle knocking down the walls of the von Riefenstahl estate]] when she hears false rumors that Liese has abducted Fiene to bully her.
* OjouRinglets: In her flashback, she is shown to have a pair of them when she was younger, when she was the daughter of a duke in name and fact.
!!Witch of Yore
The FinalBoss of the game who possesses Lieselotte in most routes.
----
* BigBad: The Witch of Yore who possesses Lieselotte is the final boss of the game and Endo and Kobayashi work to prevent this from happening. [[spoiler:Ultimately, it turns out the Witch of Yore is actually the corrupted form of the creator goddess Lilena, who became like that because of the real villain: her male counterpart who cheated on her and who's been trying to stalk and manipulate her reincarnation aka Fiene into loving him.]]
* WomanScorned: [[spoiler:The Witch of Yore is actually a goddess's corrupted state formed after her counterpart cheated on her by pursuing another woman, of whom Fiene is the reincarnation. Her possession of Lieselotte trying to get her to hate Fiene and later attacking her is her trying to get revenge on the woman. Once she returns to her original self, she's very apologetic about the whole affair and moves on from him.]]
!!Kuon
The secret "god target" of ''Love Me Magically!''.
----
* SecretCharacter: After clearing all five canonical routes, a "god route" is unlocked in ''Magikoi'', where Fiene can romance [[spoiler:the god who empowered her, and Fiene can potentially marry the god in question and joins him in his dimension. Puzzlingly, that dimension looks exactly like modern Japan, and the god looks so similar to a local celebrity to the point that many players suspected the celebrity's likeness was used without permission. As it turns out, that celebrity ''is'' the reincarnation of that god, attempting to manipulate the situation to force into a one-sided ReincarnationRomance.]]
* StalkerWithACrush: [[spoiler:The ultimate villain is actually the male counterpart to the Witch of Yore, who cheated on her to try to coerce a woman from long ago to love him. It didn't work and when he's unable to return to the ''Magikoi'' world, he creates the game to create a link between the worlds to bring Finne over to him.]]
