* MismatchedEyes: His right eye is green, while his left eye is gray.

* NotSoDifferent:
** With Asato. Even though they're practically the yin to each other's yang, [[spoiler: they both harbor a monstrous darkness that continuously threatens to consume them, which gets exacerbated if either of them is Konoe's love interest]].
** With Bardo. They have an estranged relationship and see themselves as completely different from the other, and view each other as dangerous and not to be trusted, though that is exactly why they have a lot more in common than they like to believe.

* NotSoDifferent: With Rai. Even though they're practically the yin to each other's yang, [[spoiler: they both harbor a monstrous darkness that continuously threatens to consume them, which gets exacerbated if either of them is Konoe's love interest]].

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: In the drama CD ''convenience store LAMENTO'', Asato mentions that he likes ice cream when he sees Kaltz magic and asks if he can make it.

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: He's a a bit more benevolent than most examples, but regardless; to him, you’re either an ally or an enemy. If you’re an enemy, you’re to be killed at all costs.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: In the drama CD ''convenience store LAMENTO'', Asato mentions that he likes ice cream when he sees Kaltz magic and asks if he can make itit.

* InformedAbility: [[spoiler: In the final battle, Leaks stated that as his vessel, Konoe also has the same powers as him -- though there's no scene where Konoe uses magic that doesn't involved his sanga abilities]].

* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Whenever he sees a fuzzy plant or a mouse, he immediately gets the urge to pounce on it, much like a real cat would. However, he hasn't exactly learned self-restraint, which leads to some hilariously humiliating moments.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Despite having heightened senses and being a ''cat''. He's all too aware of the irony of the situation, and gets upset when others find out about it.

* StrongerThanTheyLook: At first glance he appears to have a lean physique, but some [=CGs=] show that he's actually quite fit. Not to mention, he's also good with a sword, even if he's overshadowed by the likes of Rai and Asato.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Kuims.

* {{Adorkable}}: He can be this, especially when he gets bashful.

* {{Adorkable}}: Asato has a very awkward and innocent personality; even Konoe often compares him to a child.

* BiTheWay: He states that he swings both ways.

* EvilAlbino: Both his hair and skin are almost deathly pale, and he is Leaks' second-in-command.

----

* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Early in his route, Konoe picks up a picture, though when he asks Bardo about it, Bardo is evasive and becomes irritated when questioned further. It turns out that it's actually [[spoiler: a picture of Rai when he was a child]].

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[spoiler: Possibly, if you interpret his feelings for Shui to be romantic. While Shui deeply cherishes both him and their relationship,it is not meant to be due to Shui already being married to Konoe's mother.]]

* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: His last thoughts before he is struck down in the finale. While he does not outright say he is in love with Shui, it directed towards him with heavily implication.].

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[spoiler: Possibly, if you interpret his feelings for Shui to be romantic. While Shui deeply cherishes both him and their relationship, his own love for Leaks is purely platonic]].

* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: His last thoughts before he is struck down in the finale hints at this, with said declaration meant for Shui]].

* LoveIsAWeakness: Leaks strongly believes in this, and thinks of any other positive emotion as such. [[spoiler: This is why he sealed all his emotions in another cat, particularly Konoe]].

* BackStab: In all three routes, Firi takes the opportunity to do this when [[spoiler: Konoe falls into a HeroicBSOD after realizing he is Leaks' vessel]]. He only succeeds [[spoiler: in Rai's bad ending]].

* LizardFolk: He's the only character in the visual novel who is neither a cat nor a devil, and the appearance of his tail indicates that he's either a lizard or a snake.

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: It's made clear by the beginning of the story that his mother died, although he doesn't know what became of his father.

* DisappearedDad: As stated above, he never met his father, and only knows little from what his mother would tell him. [[spoiler:As it turns out, even as a ghost, his father has always been watching over him]].

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He's already one, but it becomes even more apparent in Bardo's good ending where he grows his hair out.

* {{Uke}}: Obviously.

* WhatTheHellHero: He gives one to both Rai and Bardo in their respective routes; the former for deciding things on his own without considering Konoe's opinions and feelings; and the latter for not being there for Rai when Rai needed him the most, and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech for taking the coward's way out all the time]].

* FirstGuyWins: If he's the love interest.

* ManChild: Asato can come across this way, due to being an outcast in his village.

* SingleTargetSexuality: [[spoiler: This is possibly the case for him regarding Konoe, since Asato falls in love with him even if you don't play his route]].

* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Early in his route, Konoe picks up a picture, though when he asks Bardo about it, Bardo is evasive and becomes irritated when questioned further. It turns out that it's actually [[spoiler: a picture of him when he was a child]].

** In his route, both Konoe and Bardo are in heat due to mating season, and they realize that they're highly compatible with each other. Bardo explains in detail to Konoe about mating season and the symptoms that come with it, and when he offers to help relieve Konoe of the tension, he makes sure that he has Konoe's complete consent, and that Konoe is feeling both pleasurable and comfortable.
** Before their second time, he reminds Konoe that unlike in mating season, where the heat overcomes any reason or pain, they'll have to be more careful this time since it'll hurt otherwise, and asks for his consent again. Once he gets said consent, he takes his time in preparing Konoe, and makes sure it's never painful for him.

A white cat from Setsura, a village known for their breed of large cats. A bounty hunter who fights alone, he first encounters Konoe after saving him from a group of bandits, and has become acquainted with him since their second meeting.

* ChildHater: Downplayed. He doesn't outright state that he hates children, but a track in the drama CD shows that he's not good at dealing with them. ''At all.''

* LightningBruiser: He's fast, skilled, and can both endure and deliver a lot of damage, making him a highly dangerous swordsman. In Bardo's drama CD, some of the newer mercenaries even get frustrated since almost all the bounties get taken by him.

The protagonist of the story. A cat from the village of Karou, whose inhabitants have resorted to cannibalism to survive, he sets out to Ransen when he is afflicted with a curse spoken of since ancient times, hoping to free himself of it.

* {{Adorkable}}: He can be this, especially whenever he gets bashful.

* TheAntiNihilist: Konoe isn't too naive to believe idealism is the solution to everything, or conflicts can be settled without causing bloodshed in the process, or all stories end on a happy note. He's aware of the harshness of reality, but he points out that even if some things seem hopeless, he would rather fight and try to make a change than sit back and do nothing about it, and believes that even negative emotions can be used to give someone the will to live and move forward.

* BadassInDistress: Konoe is a capable fighter, but his empathy often gets in the way during a battle since he unconsciously picks up on his opponent's emotions, which physically drains him and leaves him defenseless.

* CannotSpitItOut: Something like this happens in Bardo's route; when Bardo asks Konoe if he hates him, Konoe says he does because he can't bring himself to tell the truth, which is the exact opposite.

* DontYouDarePityMe: In a short story that takes place after Asato's route, Konoe displays this trope when he notices that Asato is trying to keep him from doing too much work, since [[spoiler: he only has one arm left]]. However, it's less due to not wanting to be coddled, and more due to wanting Asato to accept everything that happened between them.

* InformedAbility: [[spoiler: In the final battle, Leaks stated that as his vessel, Konoe also has the same powers as him -- though there's no scene where Konoe uses magic]].

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: The reason why [[spoiler: the devils change their minds about eating Konoe by the end of the game, once they find out that he is Leaks' vessel and has merged with Leaks after the latter's death. Either that, or they just really don't like Leaks that much for stealing their powers that they don't want to eat anything of him]].

* VocalEvolution: His voice sounds a lot softer in the recent Nitro+[=CHiRAL=] installments.

* TheAntiNihilist: Konoe is not that naive to think that idealism is the solution to everything, or that conflicts can be settled without causing bloodshed in the process, or that all stories end on a happy note. He's perfectly aware of the harshness of reality, but he points out that even if some things seem hopeless, he would rather fight and try to make a change than sit back and do nothing about it, and believes that even negative emotions can be used to give someone the will to live and move forward.

* BadassInDistress: Konoe is a capable fighter, but his empathy often gets in the way during a battle since he often (and unintentionally) picks up on his opponent's emotions, which physically drains him and leaves him defenseless.
* TheBard[=/=]WhiteMage: As a Sanga, Konoe's abilities allow him to function like both; as his songs mainly provide magical defense, strengthen his Touga's attacks, or allow his chosen Touga to move at greater speeds.

* CreepyMonotone: [[spoiler: When he's temporarily possessed by Leaks, Konoe speaks in this manner, accompanied with a slower cadence in his speech]].
* DeadpanSnarker: He gets rather snippy in his broodier moments.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: It's already made clear by the beginning of the story that his mother died, although he doesn't know what became of his father.

* DontYouDarePityMe: In one of the short stories that takes place after Asato's route, Konoe displays this trope when he notices that Asato is trying to keep him from doing too much work, since [[spoiler: he only has one arm left]]. However, it's less due to not wanting to be coddled, and more due to wanting Asato to accept everything that happened between them.

* JapanesePronouns: When he speaks, he uses ''watashi'' as opposed to ''ore'' like most of the cast.

* LightningBruiser: He's fast, skilled, and can both take and dish a lot of damage, making him one of the most dangerous mercenaries out there. In Bardo's drama CD, some of the newer mercenaries even get frustrated since almost all the bounties get taken by him.

* BlackCloak: ''Obviously.''
