History Characters / Karneval

* [[DefrostingTheIceQueen Defrosting the Ice Lord]]: Nai (unwittingly) and Yogi (determined) in particular have gotten him to open up considerably.

* JadeColoredGlasses: The losses in his childhood, which includes being sold as slaves by his parents and seeing his ParentalSubstitute being exploited, as well as live on the street have made him very cynical about people (himself included) and unwilling to make friends.

* BandageBabe: For undisclosed reasons.

* PowerCrystal

* [[spoiler: TheAtoner: Sort of. After losing her brother in a particular nasty way and knowing that he was sacrificing himself for her, she becomes determined to help in stopping Kafka]]

[[folder: Circus Research Tower]]

* TheMentor: To Araki and possible also Hirato.

* PowerChrystal

* DarkAndTroubledPast

* AfraidOfNeedles: Specifically, of Doctor Akari to the point of amusement for the audience probably because of a traumatic surgery, as Gareki guesses.

* BigBrotherMentor

-----

* ZettaiRyouiki

* GoodIsDumb: Justified, [[spoiler:considering that he was originally cute little animal]], and looks like and is later referred to being a child as well. However, unlike some character types who remain clueless throughout the story, he's slowly learning more about the world.

* NiceGuy: Yogi in a nutshell; if anything, he's Mr. Sunshine

* AfraidOfNeedles: Yogi's afraid of Doctor Akari to the point of amusement for the audience, probably because of a traumatic surgery, as Gareki guesses.

* AdultChild: He's 21, but could have fooled without that [[EstrogenBrigadeBait handsome build]]...

* ScaryShinyGlasses: Hirato gets this on occasion.

!! Tsukumo

** In fact, both Yogi and Tsukumo are awestruck at his [[spoiler:surprising innocence regarding snow (which he had never seen)]] at one point in the manga.

* SuperSenses: Despite his not having any offensive abilities at the moment, Nai is far from being a true [[TheLoad Load]], as his elevated hearing has more than once been crucial in ensuring the survival of those around him, and later, useful during missions.

* Tsundere: Gareki can be a Type A male version, especially when Yogi teases him.

* TheSmartGuy: Despite the implication of his street savvy, Gareki's shown and later noted to read frequently during his time in Circus, which heightens the poignancy when what he was reading up on is revealed in a conversation with Hirato in chapter 38. His skills as an unsung GadgeteerGenius backs this position up further.

* HitmanWithAHeart: As exemplified at the start of the story, and a DefiningCharacterMoment.

* [[TheLoad]]: While everything he does to help Nai and Circus implies otherwise, he thinks he's this; it's justified, as compared to the Circus operatives' inhuman abilities, his skills seem normal, if not subpar...

* TheSmartGuy: Despite the implication of his street savvy, Gareki's shown and later noted to read frequently during his time in Circus, which heightens the poignancy when what he was reading up on is revealed in a conversation with Hirato in chapter 38.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Gareki. It's a wonder how he's so normal after all that.
* GadgeteerGenius: Gareki. Made particularly apparent through his contribution to the mission [[spoiler:to save Karoku]] in volume 7.
* Goggles Do Nothing: Gareki pretty much ''never'' wears his. They're just there to look cool.

* StreetUrchin: Gritty type. Prominent early on with Gareki, though the circumstances over why are explained later. He does mellow down once he and Nai wind up with Circus, becoming broodier and using less dirty tricks. His sharp intellect's evident throughout, however.
* TheSmartGuy: Despite

A sharp and resourceful young man, Gareki starts the story engaged in corrupt business before things take a very wrong turn. In the midst of the chaos that ensues, he somehow saves Nai from the vile woman he originally meant to rob, and becomes involved in the mystery surrounding the boy while they are on the run.

After Circus takes Nai into their custody, he's determined to stay for his own gains, but in truth he may care more about those around him than he likes to let on, even to himself...
