!!Protagonists
[[folder:Aoko Aozaki]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HarukaTomatsu
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_aoko.png]]
The protagonist of the story, a high school student who has just begun to learn sorcery after moving into an old mansion where a witch was rumored to live. At school, she is the student council president.
To see more of Aoko's tropes, see her entry under ''Characters/{{Tsukihime}}''.
-----
* ActionGirl: She's a competent badass girl who can eat her enemies for breakfast with, or without her powers. If she can't [[BeamSpam beam spam]] her way to victory, then she can just rely on her own hand to hand combat skills instead.
* AlliterativeName: '''Ao'''ko '''Ao'''zaki.
* AlmightyJanitor: Her magic circuits are of average quality compared to her older sister Touko's being of the best in the world, and she is, as of ''Mahoyo's'' time, an inept mage compared to both Alice and Touko. However, she is flexible when it comes to utilizing her abilities to their fullest potential. [[spoiler: And that's not counting Blue yet...]]
* BadassAdorable: She is absolutely ''adorable'' when she smiles and goofs off when her guard's down, but she can still pack a punch in combat when needed, or you know, [[HairTriggerTemper when angered]].
* BeamSpam: Her favorite method of attack.
* BigEater: Much to Alice's displeasure, Aoko's appetite is big, and she'd usually finish the food she and Alice are supposed to eat together first before even getting home when ordering take out!
* BoobsOfSteel: She's very well-endowed for a teenager and her brand of magecraft is basically FullContactMagic, complete with firing huge waves of raw energy from her hands. She's also the only magus in the game who can actually physically fight, [[KungFuWizard as she knows martial arts]].
* BookSmart: She's one of her school's top students.
* BrainyBrunette: As inept as she is at being a magus, she's an excellent student with top grades.
* BrutalHonesty: She sees no point in sugarcoating words.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Touko's Cain. Their SiblingRivalry got ''real bad'' and ''really ugly'' over the years and the hatred is strong between the two Aozaki sisters.
* CelibateHeroine: That little [[NoodleIncident incident]] with [[spoiler: Ritsuka]] must've traumatized her a lot for her to stay away from any and all romantic endeavors at all costs. Doesn't stop the game from giving her ShipTease with Soujuurou, though.
* CheshireCatGrin: A master of this, next to the DeathGlare. It usually pops out whenever she's about to either playfully mock or mercilessly tease someone, a.k.a., Tobimaru. Usually merges with SmugSmiler.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Tobimaru Tsukiji. Their relationship is close enough for the others to think that they've got this ChildhoodFriendRomance thing going on, much to both of their [[JustFriends chagrins]]. Also with Alice Kuonji who has been acquainted with their family for a while. [[spoiler:Mind you, she openly admits that she would kill them both as a magus at certain points.]]
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: To Soujuurou. She has her job cut out for her...
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. Mostly with regards to [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Soujuurou]].
* DeathGlare: She's a master of giving these out and most of her sprites have her usually wearing this expression.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Of the hot-blooded variety.
* {{Determinator}}: Her stubbornness and her inability to give up or lose in a fight are features Aoko excels at completely.
* TheDreaded: Among her schoolmates at school. She's so feared that when she entered Soujuurou's normally boisterous class to check up on him, all of the students present there immediately went quiet and returned to each of their proper seats.
* DudeMagnet: In her first year, Aoko attracted virtually every boy in the school to the point they were waging fights against each other to eat with her. This stopped when her [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold personality]] became evident. Heck, even ''[[WordOfGod Nasu]]'' himself says that Aoko is a high maintenance girlfriend!
* EnragedByIdiocy: Is [[{{Tsundere}} pricklier than normal]] whenever she's around [[IdiotHero Shizuki]]. Contributes to most of the game's hilarious moments with her exasperated facial expressions from time to time.
* {{Expy}}: Given that Nasu has stated ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' was a influence on ''Mahou Tsukai no Yoru'', comparisons can be made between Aoko and Asuka; both are blue-eyed FieryRedhead {{tsundere}}s who are [[EnragedByIdiocy enraged by the idiocy]] of their male friend that [[UnresolvedSexualTension they may have a thing for]] and are the [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni to their female "friend"'s Blue Oni]].
* FemaleGaze: When she and Alice accidentally walk in on Soujuurou getting dressed. It's also partly because that's when they learn that he's CoveredWithScars...
* FieryRedhead: Even though her hair is closer to brown as opposed to her older self's bright red hair, teenage Aoko is even more short-tempered and HotBlooded.
* GenkiGirl: She's actually pretty cheerful and [[ConstantlyCurious childishly curious]] underneath that stern facade she loves putting up all the time.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[spoiler: Activating Blue makes her naturally blue eyes glow brighter from the power overflowing in her body.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: She is ''definitely'' a [[HiddenHeartOfGold good and kind person]] underneath that [[{{Tsundere}} tsun]] exterior of hers, but you wouldn't be able to tell from the way she [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold acts and speaks sometimes]].
* GrumpyBear: Especially at the beginning before CharacterDevelopment kicked in.
* HairIntakes: Her hairstyle includes a pair of intakes that look somewhat like small cat ears.
* HairTriggerTemper: A lot of things can set her off. She cooled down gradually over time, but this trait of hers is still present in extra materials.
* HateAtFirstSight: She says that she felt displeasure upon meeting Soujuurou for the first time, in contrast to Soujuurou's LoveAtFirstSight with her. Turns out this is more [[IrrationalHatred irrational hatred]] than anything on her part.
* HiddenDepths: Though most (if not all) of the students in her school fear her for her stern, fiery personality and violent temper, she's also known among them as the type of person who'd (willingly or not) take care of others and is said to be doing a ''really'' good job at that. [[HiddenHeartOfGold This is one of the earliest hints that she's a lot nicer than she appears to be]].
* HotBlooded: In contrast to her more reserved sister and her own stoic best friend.
* IGaveMyWord: She keeps both the letter and spirit of her word. If she makes a promise, she ''will'' keep it.
* InadequateInheritor: At least, this is how [[spoiler: her sister Touko]] views her, since her skills in magecraft and magic circuit quality are vastly inferior compared to hers.
* ItAmusedMe: At one point, she thinks about how she'll probably reveal to a non-Mage that she's a Mage in spite of this being against the law of the Mage Association, just to see the look on that person's face. [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Huh.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is totally brash, rude, and a bit of a jerk towards nearly everyone, but shows that she does care for her friends from time to time.
* KungFuWizard: She's a rookie magus who kicks ass with both her magus powers ''and'' martial arts skills.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Tobimaru. They bicker and take jabs and hurl insults at each other most of the time, but they're also close enough for them to act more natural toward each other.
* MeaningfulName: ''Aoko'' means "blue child". Her magic consists of blasting things with blue bullets or blue beams and her runes are all blue. [[spoiler: There's also the name of the the Fifth Magic, Blue.]] In the [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} future]], she's known by the title of [[RedBaron "Magic Gunner Blue"]] or "Miss Blue". It should be noted however that Aoko's not too fond of her name, if her telling Shiki to call her anything ''but'' Aoko is anything.
* ModestyShorts: Wears some underneath her skirt[[note]] If you're wondering, they're black [[/note]]. Helps that she's a KickChick too.
* NotAMorningPerson: A trait she shares with three other [[Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} Type-Moon]] characters: [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rin]], [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Shiki]], and [[LightNovel/FireGirl Homura]].
* OhCrap: Her reaction when she accidentally [[spoiler: destroyed one of Alice's Ploys.]] in Chapter 5. And on the same chapter, this is also her reaction when she sees a gigantic MonsterClown getting ready to chomp on her and Soujuurou from above.
* PerpetualFrowner: [[SubvertedTrope Not really]], but she constantly gives everyone a DeathGlare whenever she's in a bad mood...which is most of the time. Alice calls her out on this.
--> '''Alice:''' "Your gaze is too harsh for normal people, Aoko. You should try to be a little more lenient."
* PlayboyBunny: She gets to wear one in one scene. She's...not exactly happy about it.
* PowerDyesYourHair: [[spoiler: When she uses the Fifth Magic, Blue, her brown hair turns red.]]
* PowerGlows: [[spoiler: When using Blue for the first time, her entire body starts glowing.]]
* {{Pride}}: Her pride is one of her defining features.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Alice's blue.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: Towards Touko after she brutally kills Soujuurou in front of her. This is what lets her use Blue for the first time.]]
* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler: Blue, as one of the five great Magics from the Nasuverse, allows Aoko to manipulate time to her liking, like how she managed to accelerate her own powers by accessing her ten-years later self's abilities, or when she displaced Soujuurou's death to the far future to revive him. However, the exact nature of Blue is still relatively unknown and what Aoko has shown so far was only the tip of the iceberg.]]
* StudentCouncilPresident: Her role in the school.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler: When using Blue for the first time to accelerate her own time and to give her the power boost needed to beat Touko, Aoko gets a complete PowerMakeover that turns her [[PowerDyesYourHair normally brunette hair bright red]], [[GlowingEyesOfDoom makes her blue eyes glow completely bright]], and to top it all off, gets a [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes complete wardrobe change]] that switches her school uniform to that of a partially ripped white, sleeveless shirt that [[BareYourMidriff shows her midriff]] and a pair of jeans. Oh, and she gets some fingerless gloves to go with the outfit too.]]
* SuperStrength: Her kicks are powerful enough to break ''trees''.
* TimeMaster: [[spoiler: As part of Blue's power package. She uses this to displace Shizuki's death and to fling it to a distant future.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: A very heavy tsun or harsh type towards nearly everyone she knows thanks to her pride, hotheadedness, and overall grouchiness. Unlike most examples though, it's less of a facade to hide something from anyone and more of her just being genuinely, and harshly frank in general. Uncovering her dere or sweet side however, proves that she can be a very kind and caring person underneath no matter how much she'd want to deny it.
* UnskilledButStrong: Is stated to be average in terms of her skill in magecraft, but her bullets and energy blasts are powerful and are in a state of pure, raw energy. [[spoiler: She also possesses the Fifth Magic, Blue, one of the five great True Magics in the Nasuverse.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: With both Tobimaru and Alice, her childhood friends.
* WhenSheSmiles: She's really cute when she's being at her most sincere when smiling.

[[folder:Alice Kuonji]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaHanazawa
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_alice.png]]
A natural-born witch, the daughter of the elder son of the wealthy Kuonji family and a witch he fell in love with, who lives alone in a mansion. She is emotionally detached and self-abusive, thus she does not form relationships easily, but gradually comes to accept Aoko as a friend. She has been acquainted with the Aozaki family for over ten years and serves as Aoko's partner and teacher.
------
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She is emotionally distant towards people and comes off as a cold person in her introduction. The black hair is a bonus.
* AmplifierArtifact: Her favorite ploy, Diddle Diddle, serves as this to her other offensive ploys when it's used at night.
* AncestralWeapon: A majority of her ploys were made by her ancestors and then inherited by her. The "weapon" part comes from how lethal some of her ploys are, especially the Big 3 created by the first witch of her line.
* BarrierWarrior: [[spoiler: She maintains an invisible one during combat strong enough to easily shrug off minor spells like Aoko's magic bullets.]]
* BerserkButton: Destroying any of her Ploys is a '''bad''' idea, accident or no, and she's described as being more hotheaded than even [[HairTriggerTemper Aoko]] when this happens, [[TranquilFury though her face won't show it that much]].
* ButNotTooForeign: Is half-British and half-Japanese.
* TheCameo: Her Cock Robin familiar shows up in Fate/Grand Order as Robin Hood's pet.
* ChildhoodFriends: With both Aozaki sisters, especially Aoko.
* ColdHam: It is said that she can be more HotBlooded than Aoko when provoked, but hides her emotions all the same.
* TheComicallySerious: She can put on a [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/4/40/Alice_penguin.png/revision/latest?cb=20130105212651 gigantic, cartoonish penguin costume with a completely straight face]].
* ConditionalPowers: Her more powerful ploys can only be summoned at night. She can get around this fact thanks her ploy Diddle Diddle, who's power imparts the concept of "night-time" to area.
* DeadpanSnarker: Usually at Aoko's expense.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Is icy, stoic, and borderline emotionless at first glance, but once Soujuurou helps her defrost, she shows that she can be a really sweet girl when she wants to be. She's still reserved about it though.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: When she and Aoko run into Soujuurou changing, she isn't participating much in the conversation. Partly due to being a reserved person in general, but mostly because she was too busy blushing at the sight she was taking in.
%%* EmotionlessGirl
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even she thought Aoko was going too far when the latter decided to gift Soujuurou a dog collar to replace the bandages on his neck.
* FairyTaleMotifs: Her brand of magic incorporates themes directly associated with fairy tales.
* FamousAncestor: ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' reveals that [[spoiler:she's a direct descendant of Yumina, the first witch and user of the First Magic in the Nasuverse]].
* HalfHumanHybrid: She is a half witch born from a pure-blooded witch mother, and a human father.
* TheHeretic: The Meinster witches are considered heretics among mages.
%%* LadyOfBlackMagic: An aloof girl of grace and beauty who wields ancient magics and familiars brought to life from fairy tales of old.
* MagicalEye: [[spoiler:Her left eye is a Mystic Eye of Enchantment, which serves to highlight how powerful she is as Mystic Eyes of Enchantment are typically only found in [[OurVampiresAreDifferent True Ancestors and superior class Dead Apostles]]. It allows her to cast powerful, crippling illusions; glowing [[RedEyesTakewarning red]] when activated.]]
* MentorArchetype: Serves as one to Aoko to help her train in magecraft.
* MultiEthnicName: Her whole name reflects her ethnicity as a half-Japanese, half-British girl. Interestingly, her first name "Alice" is written in Kanji and not in Katakana like most would expect it to be written as.
* {{Ojou}}: Her large mansion is a hint already, but it was mentioned that her father was a rich businessman and Alice inherited all the wealth he had. There's also the fact that she studies in Reien Girls' Academy, a school mentioned in ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' to be an academy that houses girls from rich families.
* ParentalAbandonment: Both of her parents were already dead before the start of the story which would explain why she's the sole resident of her house before Aoko and later Shizuki came to reside with her. The rest of her extended paternal family never agreed with the union of her parents, so they avoid her.
* TheQuietOne: She makes an effort only to speak when she has to.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Aoko's red.
* ReiAyanamiExpy: Both Alice and Rei are {{Defrosting Ice Queen}}s that contrast with their fellow female character who is a hothead. Alice also has a bob haircut and pale skin like Rei. Given that Nasu has cited ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' as a source of inspiration for the novel, this was likely deliberate.
* TheRival: Aoko sees her as one. It seems to be mutual on Alice's part too.
* SealedEvilInACan: While only some of her ploys are actively malicious or sadist, they all have a physical container of some kind to reside in when not in-use. Examples include, Tweedledum and Tweedledee's dice, Diddle Diddle's bell-charm, and [[spoiler: Flat Snark's vial.]]
* SoreLoser: She admits as much in the aftermath of losing to Aoko.
* SquishyWizard: Remove her powerful magic abilities from her and Alice is completely vulnerable. Contrast Aoko who is a KungFuWizard.
* TheStoic: Her expression rarely changes from its usually calm, disinterested look.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Her default appearance will always be icily stoic, but she has shown that she deeply appreciates and cares for Aoko and Soujuurou in her own way.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: As a witch, Alice was born with her powers and abilities as a magus, having been passed on to her through her blood relation to her late mother, who was also a witch from the Meinster line. [[spoiler:This is a result of them being, in turn, directly descended from Yumina, the very first witch and First Magic user. Alice's most powerful Ploys, the Great Three, were also things she inherited from Yumina, their original creator and user]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Aoko. They constantly try to kill each other on an occasional basis and then have regular conversations like best friends have almost immediately after as if this were a regular thing.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Has uncertain feelings towards Shizuki Soujuurou.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Soujuurou Shizuki]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuusukeKobayashi
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_soujuurou.png]]
A young man from a rural location who is still adjusting to living in the city and as a normal high school student. He is quiet and reserved, but warm-hearted and stable in contrast to Aoko and Alice. He winds up living at the Kuonji mansion as well, despite Alice's attempts to drive him away by ignoring him, and Alice develops uncertain feelings toward him.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''oujuurou '''S'''hizuki.
* BadassNormal: By virtue of [[spoiler: being a snake assassin just like Kuzuki from VisualNovel/FateStayNight]]. Also, according to [[WordOfGod Nasu]], Soujuurou is ''the'' strongest male Type-Moon MC (at least, before he descended the mountains, after which he gradually ''weakened''), stronger than even the likes of [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Shiki Tohno]] and [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou Emiya]], both of whom are no slouches themselves.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's genuinely kind and selfless, but when push comes to shove,[[spoiler: he shows off his Snake assassination skills and he's formidable enough to quickly bring down a once thought of to be undefeatable Phantasmal Beast in just two blows to the heart.]]
* BlankSlate: What he was before descending the mountains he originated from. As he continues to settle into modern civilization, he slowly begins to gain an individuality of his own at the cost of being gradually weakened the more he blends in with society.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Soujuurou literally breaks his arm punching Lugh.]]
* ChildSoldier: [[spoiler:Soujuurou came from the same organization as Souichirou, from ''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Fate/stay night]]'']]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Thanks to being raised in the mountains for all his life without contact with any form of modernity until recently, he's this.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Sarcastic comments and insults are something he's immune to thanks to this trope. Just ask Aoko.
* CountryMouse: He's a young man who spent most of his life in a secluded mountain village and is completely naive and inexperienced with city life.
* CoveredWithScars: Looking underneath his sleeved clothes and bandanged neck reveals that his body is covered in multiple scratches and scars. [[spoiler:This serves as {{Foreshadowing}} later in his confrontation with Lugh.]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Him being a completely meek and very strange but friendly boy completely conceals the fact that [[spoiler:he hails from the same organization as Kuzuki, making him a dangerous Snake assassin like him. So his victory over [[InvincibleVillain Lugh]] was a surprising sight for everyone to see.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: He's brutally [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe sliced in half]] by Touko while he was helping Aoko up. Ouch.]]
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: [[spoiler:He hands Lugh his very first defeat in the entirety of his ventures.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: The second most important character in the story next to Aoko. In fact, he has many chapters in the story that focus greatly on him.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Soujuurou takes down Lugh, a two thousand year old NatureSpirit whom not even Aoko could defeat, by punching him in the heart and hitting his back with an elbow blow, which freaks Lugh out due to it being a new experience and actually getting beaten in fistcuffs.]]
* FearIsTheAppropriateResponse: [[spoiler:Meeting Touko at the Pachinko Parlor elicited him running from his job as far as his legs could take him in Chapter 3.]]
* GoodCounterpart: He is [[spoiler: [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Soichiro Kuzuki's]]]] good counterpart, having similar names, backgrounds, and the same initial emptiness before meeting people. The difference is, Soujuurou is a genuinely nice guy, is one of the protagonists, is willing to protect his friends, and is actually averse to killing while [[spoiler: Kuzuki]] is a ruthless killer who has no problem getting rid of his own students for the sake of his lover, who freed him from the empty life he was living, and is an antagonist [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou and Rin]] have to face in their story.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:Soujuurou, courtesy of Touko. But he got better.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:He witnesses what looked to be a murder in the park by Aoko while she was doing mage-stuff, leading to Aoko and later Alice trying to kill him. Both eventually decide to let it go.]]
* IdiotHero: Soujuurou. The guy is just plain clueless.
* TheIngenue: Male example. Soujuurou is completely innocent and curious over many things concerning modern human civilization.
* InSeriesNickname: Tobimaru calls him Souji.
* LethallyStupid: At one point, Aoko catches him trying to leave the school building by jumping out of the window. She stops him and asks him the heck he was thinking. [[spoiler:Though given his training, he might've been fine anyways.]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With.]] Soujuurou said he liked Aoko the moment he saw her. Of course, afterwards the narration adds it was simple kindness he felt for her.
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:He takes a Gandr Curse and keeps going, despite the fact that the illness takes root.]]
* MagneticHero: His kindness and curious naivety won him over a lot of friends.
* MuggleBestFriend: Of sorts to Aoko and Alice. His understanding on magecraft heavily relies on ClarkesThirdLaw, which makes him more accepting to it than most people.
* NaiveNewcomer: Because of this, he readily accepts the existence of magic as just another wonder of the city.
* NiceGuy: Very selfless, forgiving, and kind, winning him the friendships of the temperamental Aoko, the aloof Alice, and the abrasive Tobimaru and Kojika.
* TheNotLoveInterest: Despite the seemingly romantic subtext between him and Aoko, there's ultimately no romance between them, with the narration even pointing that out even as they grow closer to each other in the story. However, it's no question that Soujuurou is a very important person in Aoko's life and vice versa.
* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: [[PlayingWithTropes Played with]]. The story loves pointing out that Soujuurou is a normal person with no special qualities whatsoever especially when you compare him to his friends. While it is true that he's just an average plain paper compared to the more colorful Aoko and Alice, as you go further into the plot, you'll find out that he's anything ''but'' [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass regular]].
* SealedBadassInACan: [[spoiler:He's sealed in a bottle at the end of Chapter 5 by Aoko and Chapter 6 by Alice.]]
* ThouShaltNotKill: Believes that it's wrong to kill. [[spoiler: It's this belief that prevents him from killing Lugh despite defeating him after he harmed Aoko and Alice. It's also because of this that he convinced Aoko to spare Touko's life after Aoko's RoaringRampageOfRevenge over his death at Touko's hands.]]
* WalkingShirtlessScene: There is one scene where the two girls run into him changing his shirt; they were impressed to say the least.
* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: He has multiple jobs, including one where he works at an amusement park.
* WorthyOpponent: According to AllThereInTheManual, [[spoiler:Lugh seems to be hanging out with Soujuurou because he was impressed by him defeating him and is part of why he is no longer with Touko by ''The Garden of Sinners''.]]
* YouAreNumberSix: Implied. [[spoiler:His first name translates to "tenth son" while Souichirou's first name translates to "first son".]]

!!Supporting Characters
[[folder:Tobimaru Tsukiji]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Fukamachi Toshinari
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tobimaruuniform.png]]
The popular vice-president of the Student Council, a classmate of Aoko who becomes Sojuro's best friend. He and Aoko were close friends as children, though they both deny having any feelings for one another. His family life is apparently complicated and he is known to casually smoke and spend nights out.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''T'''obimaru '''T'''sukiji.
* {{Bishounen}}: He's a pretty attractive young lad with chiseled features.
* ButtMonkey: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Aoko usually treats him like dirt as her vice student council president.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Aoko.
* CoattailRidingRelative: To his own parents, mentioning that he can only do so while he's in school for another year, and he's getting his money's worth while he can.
* HeroicBastard: He's the son of his father's mistress and he's experienced both being violently bullied by his brothers as well as looked down upon by the rest of the Tsukiji family for it.
* InSeriesNickname: He's given the nickname 'His Highness' because of his prince-like demeanor.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's the type of person who'll only make friends with you if you benefit him somehow and won't bother with you if you won't. He also won't have much of a problem hurling insults right in front of your face, and yet despite this and his claims that he's a misanthrope, Tobimaru still does his job well as the vice president, often turning away any unfortunate soul who dares try to ask Aoko out to prevent "casualties" from happening, and his friendships with both Aoko and Soujuurou are genuine.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Aoko. They may bicker and insult each other most of the time, but apart from Alice, and later, Soujuurou, he's Aoko's second most trusted confidant and they practically hold very natural conversations with each other whenever they're alone.
* OddFriendship: With Soujuurou. He mentions that the fact that Soujuurou is so honest is the reason he appreciates him (saying that a human that doesn't lie isn't a human), despite being a self-proclaimed misanthrope that only appreciates people he can use.
* ParentalFavoritism: His grandfather, Kunikimi, favors him above all of his family members, including his own children. Tobimaru doesn't see this as a good thing, as not only has he become an even bigger target of vitriol for the entire Tsukiji clan than he already was since the chances of him inheriting his grandfather's vast fortune are high, his own father, his grandfather's eldest son, treats him like an enemy because of it.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: His family basically runs the school, so while he's in it he has the run of things and uses the privileges to his advantage.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:He ends up telling Aoko that Soujuurou was the one who witnessed the murder, sparking the attempt on Souji.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Aoko, his childhood friend.
* WouldHitAGirl: He mentions once hitting Aoko, fully expecting to get knocked around for it, but she decided to TurnTheOtherCheek. The truth is that she caught him before he could hit her and then left him beaten.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Kojika Kumari]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChikaAnzai
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kojika3.png]]
The treasurer of the Student Council, a friend and classmate of Aoko who possesses a cool-mannered and realistic personality. She is very responsible as a result of being in charge of a household of brothers, but she dislikes how the men in her life look down on her. Though her father disapproves of her desire to attend college, Kojika still works hard to save money to attend anyways.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: She's the focus character of the side story included in the visual novel, set after the main story's events.
* AlliterativeName: '''K'''ojika '''K'''umari. See a pattern here?
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She has a one-sided crush on Tobimaru.
* AscendedExtra: She's a supporting character in the main story, but she becomes the main character of the bonus story included in the VN.
* BrutalHonesty: Like Aoko, she's straight to point and doesn't bother mincing her words.
* FamilyVersusCareer: She goes against her father's wishes by working hard so she could go to college in spite of his disapproval of her doing so.
* GrumpyBear: Her general disposition.
* HumansAreBastards: If the story about the Passenger Pigeons she tells Soujuurou is anything, she may believe this.
* IHaveBrothers: While she subverts most of the tropes associated with it, Kojika is the lone daughter of a family of brothers, and displays an assertive personality when getting what she wants in life, namely by going to college against her father's wishes.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's blunt and overall harsh but earnest and sincere in her words.
* PerpetualFrowner: Nearly all of her character sprites have her frowning by default.
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: In the side story featuring her as the main character, she's (temporarily) one of Alice's ploys and the impostor the guests have to spot in order to win Alice's game in the mansion. Of course, after this, she goes right back to being a regular human again.]]

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/housuke_kinomi.png]]
A classmate of Soujuurou, Hosuke is a cheerful young man whose primary interests are the attractive girls in class and becoming rich someday. He often tries to organize the male students in class, though his cunning often fails and the girls wind up pitying him instead. He is also Sojuro's co-worker at their part-time job.
----
* BookDumb: He regularly has to take remedial classes all the time thanks to being this.
* ButtMonkey: The guy gets absolutely no respect at all from anyone.
* CasanovaWannabe: He flirts with any new girl he comes across, but he never succeeds in getting them to like him back.

[[folder:May Riddell Archelot]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/may_riddell_archelot.png]]
An idol singer who has traveled around the world, May is also a mage with an eccentric personality. She is acquainted with Sojuurou by unknown means and is known by the church. As a mage, her ability is considerable enough to cause trouble for Lugh.
----
* ChildhoodFriends: With Alice, having known her since childhood. Also one to Tobimaru because their fathers are business partners, having lived at their mansion when she was young.
* TheNicknamer: Turns out that the odd names for Alice's ploys come from her. Before that Alice would just give them numbers as names, that would change depending on how she felt.
* {{Ojou}}: The daughter of a rich family, which she makes obvious with her first impression to the cast being a loud entrance via helicopter.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Though she only shows up in the side story that takes place after the events of the main game, it turns out that she is pretty well acquainted with Soujuurou already. How exactly is left unstated, but it is interesting to see that he knew a longtime friend of Alice before encountering her.
* ShoutOut: Give her friendship with Alice, her middle name is likely a reference to Alice Liddell, the real life person who the Alice of ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' was based on.

[[folder:Ritsuka Suse]]
[[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ritsuka_suse.png]]
A member of the Mage's Association, though she has only been part of the organization for a year after leaving the Church. It is believed that Ritsuka is apprenticed to the Aozaki family to act as a watchdog, which is why Aoko is suspicious of Ritsuka's intentions.
----
* AttractiveBentGender: [[spoiler:Aoko]] falling for her while she was dressed in drag is the main reason Aoko has a lot of antipathy towards romance in general.
* CoolBigSis: Acts as one to the younger characters.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Crossdressing is one of her hobbies.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Yuika Suse]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuika_suse.png]]
Ritsuka's twin sister, a member of the church well-known in town as a pious nun. She possesses a genetic condition that results in heightened senses and is skilled in rougher acts as well.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Yuika might seem polite and unassuming on the surface, but according to Aoko, she's a fearsome demonic nun with frightening powers of persuasion underneath that. And by "persuasion", we mean, "violently throwing stuff around to get her point across without losing her composure or smile on her face". Apparently, nasty rumors about the Aida Church and its reputation for ''crushing'' any competition in the neigborhood are all thanks to her.
* DeadpanSnarker: For a nun, she's pretty venomous with her comments.
--> '''Yuika:''' "Oh? [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Aoko]] is engaging in charity? The world must be coming to an end."
* EyesAlwaysShut: She keeps her eyes closed due to being blind.
* VolleyingInsults: Engages in a [[StealthInsult stealthy]] one with Aoko in her introduction.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Eiri Fumizuka]]
[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eiri_fumizuka.png]]
A member of the Church. Despite his gentle personality, his advice is often critical and harsh. He was once apprenticed to the Aozaki family and happens to be Touko's old lover. Because he was strong enough to kill a witch, Touko remains vigilant around him.
----
* ChurchMilitant: He's an Executor from the Church like [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Kirei Kotomine]] and [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Ciel]].

!!Antagonists
[[folder:Lugh Beowulf]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lugh_beowulf.png]]
The antagonist of the story, an ageless nature spirit whose true form is a golden werewolf, though he appears as a fair-haired young boy. Other werewolves once revered him as the werewolf who would revive their race, but was ostracized and later sold to Touko Aozaki when it became apparent he was not a true werewolf.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Lugh's backstory.
* {{Animorphism}}: Lugh can take either the form of a pretty boy or a wolf.
* AntiMagic: Lugh is a 3000-year-old phantasmal beast who is completely immune to modern magecraft, making him the perfect weapon to fight against magi and other magical creatures.
* {{Bishonen}}: His human form is that of a young and pretty little blonde boy.
* BreakTheHaughty: Having never once lost a single battle against any being he and Touko have encountered in their exploits around the world combined with his invulnerability to magic and brute strength in general has given Lugh a massive ego and a tendency to look down on his opponents. [[spoiler: He gets a rude wake up call when Soujuurou easily defeats him in just two blows.]]
* CompleteImmortality: A given for a nature spirit as powerful and as long lived as he is.
* CurbStompBattle: He's both the giver and the receiver of this in the story:
** Due to his very high magic resistance and brute strength, his fights with Aoko and Alice would always end in a swift and brutal victory in his favor.
** [[spoiler: He [[UnderestimatingBadassery underestimated]] Soujuurou, ignorant of the fact that the boy was in reality a highly trained assassin, when he attacked him. Lugh promptly regretted it when in an instant, Soujuurou delivered two precise strikes to his torso and back which tore out his heart. He lives, but is left traumatized and helpless for the rest of the final fight.]]
* TheDragon: To [[spoiler:Touko's BigBad]].
* DumbMuscle: Downplayed. More like simple-minded. [[spoiler: Owing to the fact that Touko is more of a [[SquishyWizard squishy wizard]] compare to her [[KungFuWizard sister]], Lugh generally acts as the physical fighter focused on taking down the opponents in front of him, while Touko hang back and cast her spells.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: He's mentioned in ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' as [[spoiler:Touko not having a familiar, which means that their contract has since absolved]].
* HealingFactor: Comes with the territory of being a powerful nature spirit. [[spoiler: It's potent enough to instantly regenerate his heart when Soujuurou destroyed it defending himself from Lugh.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: After losing to Soujuurou and after Touko abandons him, Lugh decides to follow Soujuurou and the gang around as revealed in a side story set a year after the events of the main story.]]
* InvincibleVillain: He went on numerous expeditions with [[spoiler: Touko]] that involved him defeating an unknown number of enemies and other phantasmal beasts and had yet to be beaten once. Not even Aoko and Alice can beat him thanks to his invulnerability to magic. [[spoiler: Soujuurou, however, finally ends his invincible streak.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Touko]] named him for Literature/{{Beowulf}}.
* MorphicResonance: All of his forms shown seems to retain his blond hair and blue eyes in some way.
* NighInvulnerability: Lugh {{No Sell}}s a kick that could break a tree in half.
* NonHumanNonBinary: Nasu states Lugh doesn't have the concept of gender due to being a phantasmal species.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He takes on the appearance of a pretty young boy in his human form, but he's possibly more than a few millennia old as of the story's time.
* PointyEars: Has them in his human form.
* SavageWolves: His time with the werewolf tribe has left him with a preference for wolven forms when he needs to fight.
* SuperMode: He can shift his wolf form into different builds, particularly, his final form is that of a muscular, gigantic golden werewolf whose strength is maximized to his peak compared to his other smaller wolf forms.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: He's left a quivering mess in the aftermath of his defeat at the hands of Soujuurou.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifter: His primary weapon.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Touko Aozaki]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_touko.png]]
Aoko's older sister, regarded as a genius magus in the Aozaki family, who believed that their magical lineage was dying out. She and Aoko don't get along particularly well. Alice enjoys Touko's company because she is a person who can truly understand Alice, though Alice does little to stop the two from fighting.
To see more of her tropes, see her folder in ''Characters/TheGardenOfSinners''.
----
* AffablyEvil: She's genuine friends with Alice and is nice in her own way to other people except for Aoko, who she loathes, but she ''is'' the BigBad of the story.
* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler: Steals the magic crests of numerous magi to give herself the power boost necessary to defeat Alice and Aoko.]]
* BeingWatched: Touko somehow knew when Souji saw her in the camera and turned to face him.
* BigBad: The main antagonist of ''VisualNovel/MahouTsukaiNoYoru''.
* BigBadFriend: To Alice.
* BodyBackupDrive: [[spoiler: Touko's infamous spare body system was already completed by the time of the novel. This of course, made her more or less immortal with no real drawbacks unlike other mages in the Nasuverse.]]
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Aoko's Abel. Let's just say she was pissed when her inferior, less talented, and completely untrained younger sister was given the family crest instead of her who had to work hard to even try to earn it.
* ChekhovsGun: If you've read or watched ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' before, then the puppet sent to attack Aoko in Chapter 5 should be the biggest hint that confirms that Touko is its creator and that she's been the one instigating the attacks against Aoko and Alice.
* ChekhovsGunman: She appears as early as Chapter 3 playing with a slot machine in the casino Soujuurou worked part time in but doesn't appear again until later chapters where, ''tada!' it's revealed that she's the BigBad and intruder Aoko and Alice have been trying to hunt down.
* CombatPragmatist: She's a completely dirty fighter in her fights against Alice and Aoko thanks to bringing the undefeated [[AntiMagic Lugh]] along with her during her encounters with them.
** [[spoiler: She also didn't hesitate to [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe slice Soujuurou in two]] after she witnessed him effortlessly defeat Lugh.]]
* EvilRedhead: As a [[AffablyEvil contrast]] to [[GoodIsNotNice Aoko]].
* TheGlassesComeOff: Glasses on, she's the friendly [[CoolBigSis older sister-type character]] who is playful and teasing towards you. Glasses off, and she's probably scheming your death in more ways than one.
* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: [[spoiler: It's revealed that by the time of the novel, Touko's [[BodyBackupDrive puppet duplicate system]] was already fully operational. It allowed her to escape Aoko's curse, which banished her from Misaki Town for a decades' time, one year after the epilogue of the story when she got tired of it by committing suicide and transferring to a spare body.]]
* InstantRunes: [[spoiler: Her primary offensive magic takes the form of not just any runes, but three [[UpToEleven Primordial Rune]] [[SuperPrototype Replicas]] she had managed to re-create.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Touko" means "orange child", a name that contrasts that of her sister's name's ColorMotif.
* MythologyGag: Her appearance here in this game is a combination of her old prototype design and her updated redesign.
* PetTheDog: While it was for pragmatic purposes, her taking Lugh under her wing [[spoiler: before abandoning him following his loss to Soujuurou]] can be seen as this. Her sparing of Alice in their first encounter despite having the opportunity to kill her right then and there is also this.
* TheResenter: To say Touko was pissed when Aoko inherited the family crest and Blue instead of her, after she had been training a lifetime in magecraft for this, is an understatement.
* SelfMadeOrphan: More like "self-made granddaughter" since [[spoiler:she murdered her and Aoko's grandfather after he passed on the family crest to Aoko instead of her. This is one of the reasons for Aoko's animosity towards her.]] [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] later on when it's revealed that it was actually her ex-lover [[ChurchMilitant Eiri Fumizuka]] that killed him simply on a whim.]]
* SmokingIsCool: ''Good lord'' she smokes like a chimney! She's famous in Type-Moon for being one of the only known owners of the Taiwanese made Dragon-Smoke cigarettes. Touko admits they taste terrible but she continues to smoke them because they are so rare.
* TheUnfavorite: Even though Touko's the eldest child and is well within her rights to be the first in line to inherit the Aozaki's magic crest, her grandfather instead passed her over in favor of giving the crest to her younger sister, Aoko, despite Aoko's lack of experience and training in magic unlike her.

!!Protagonists
[[folder:Aoko Aozaki]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HarukaTomatsu
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_aoko.png]]
The protagonist of the story, a high school student who has just begun to learn sorcery after moving into an old mansion where a witch was rumored to live. At school, she is the student council president.
To see more of Aoko's tropes, see her entry under ''Characters/{{Tsukihime}}''.
-----
* ActionGirl: She's a competent badass girl who can eat her enemies for breakfast with, or without her powers. If she can't [[BeamSpam beam spam]] her way to victory, then she can just rely on her own hand to hand combat skills instead.
* AlliterativeName: '''Ao'''ko '''Ao'''zaki.
* AlmightyJanitor: Her magic circuits are of average quality compared to her older sister Touko's being of the best in the world, and she is, as of ''Mahoyo's'' time, an inept mage compared to both Alice and Touko. However, she is flexible when it comes to utilizing her abilities to their fullest potential. [[spoiler: And that's not counting Blue yet...]]
* BadassAdorable: She is absolutely ''adorable'' when she smiles and goofs off when her guard's down, but she can still pack a punch in combat when needed, or you know, [[HairTriggerTemper when angered]].
* BeamSpam: Her favorite method of attack.
* BigEater: Much to Alice's displeasure, Aoko's appetite is big, and she'd usually finish the food she and Alice are supposed to eat together first before even getting home when ordering take out!
* BoobsOfSteel: She's very well-endowed for a teenager and her brand of magecraft is basically FullContactMagic, complete with firing huge waves of raw energy from her hands. She's also the only magus in the game who can actually physically fight, [[KungFuWizard as she knows martial arts]].
* BookSmart: She's one of her school's top students.
* BrainyBrunette: As inept as she is at being a magus, she's an excellent student with top grades.
* BrutalHonesty: She sees no point in sugarcoating words.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Touko's Cain. Their SiblingRivalry got ''real bad'' and ''really ugly'' over the years and the hatred is strong between the two Aozaki sisters.
* CelibateHeroine: That little [[NoodleIncident incident]] with [[spoiler: Ritsuka]] must've traumatized her a lot for her to stay away from any and all romantic endeavors at all costs. Doesn't stop the game from giving her ShipTease with Soujuurou, though.
* CheshireCatGrin: A master of this, next to the DeathGlare. It usually pops out whenever she's about to either playfully mock or mercilessly tease someone, a.k.a., Tobimaru. Usually merges with SmugSmiler.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Tobimaru Tsukiji. Their relationship is close enough for the others to think that they've got this ChildhoodFriendRomance thing going on, much to both of their [[JustFriends chagrins]]. Also with Alice Kuonji who has been acquainted with their family for a while. [[spoiler:Mind you, she openly admits that she would kill them both as a magus at certain points.]]
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: To Soujuurou. She has her job cut out for her...
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. Mostly with regards to [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Soujuurou]].
* DeathGlare: She's a master of giving these out and most of her sprites have her usually wearing this expression.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Of the hot-blooded variety.
* {{Determinator}}: Her stubbornness and her inability to give up or lose in a fight are features Aoko excels at completely.
* TheDreaded: Among her schoolmates at school. She's so feared that when she entered Soujuurou's normally boisterous class to check up on him, all of the students present there immediately went quiet and returned to each of their proper seats.
* DudeMagnet: In her first year, Aoko attracted virtually every boy in the school to the point they were waging fights against each other to eat with her. This stopped when her [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold personality]] became evident. Heck, even ''[[WordOfGod Nasu]]'' himself says that Aoko is a high maintenance girlfriend!
* EnragedByIdiocy: Is [[{{Tsundere}} pricklier than normal]] whenever she's around [[IdiotHero Shizuki]]. Contributes to most of the game's hilarious moments with her exasperated facial expressions from time to time.
* {{Expy}}: Given that Nasu has stated ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' was a influence on ''Mahou Tsukai no Yoru'', comparisons can be made between Aoko and Asuka; both are blue-eyed FieryRedhead {{tsundere}}s who are [[EnragedByIdiocy enraged by the idiocy]] of their male friend that [[UnresolvedSexualTension they may have a thing for]] and are the [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni to their female "friend"'s Blue Oni]].
* FemaleGaze: When she and Alice accidentally walk in on Soujuurou getting dressed. It's also partly because that's when they learn that he's CoveredWithScars...
* FieryRedhead: Even though her hair is closer to brown as opposed to her older self's bright red hair, teenage Aoko is even more short-tempered and HotBlooded.
* GenkiGirl: She's actually pretty cheerful and [[ConstantlyCurious childishly curious]] underneath that stern facade she loves putting up all the time.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[spoiler: Activating Blue makes her naturally blue eyes glow brighter from the power overflowing in her body.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: She is ''definitely'' a [[HiddenHeartOfGold good and kind person]] underneath that [[{{Tsundere}} tsun]] exterior of hers, but you wouldn't be able to tell from the way she [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold acts and speaks sometimes]].
* GrumpyBear: Especially at the beginning before CharacterDevelopment kicked in.
* HairIntakes: Her hairstyle includes a pair of intakes that look somewhat like small cat ears.
* HairTriggerTemper: A lot of things can set her off. She cooled down gradually over time, but this trait of hers is still present in extra materials.
* HateAtFirstSight: She says that she felt displeasure upon meeting Soujuurou for the first time, in contrast to Soujuurou's LoveAtFirstSight with her. Turns out this is more [[IrrationalHatred irrational hatred]] than anything on her part.
* HiddenDepths: Though most (if not all) of the students in her school fear her for her stern, fiery personality and violent temper, she's also known among them as the type of person who'd (willingly or not) take care of others and is said to be doing a ''really'' good job at that. [[HiddenHeartOfGold This is one of the earliest hints that she's a lot nicer than she appears to be]].
* HotBlooded: In contrast to her more reserved sister and her own stoic best friend.
* IGaveMyWord: She keeps both the letter and spirit of her word. If she makes a promise, she ''will'' keep it.
* InadequateInheritor: At least, this is how [[spoiler: her sister Touko]] views her, since her skills in magecraft and magic circuit quality are vastly inferior compared to hers.
* ItAmusedMe: At one point, she thinks about how she'll probably reveal to a non-Mage that she's a Mage in spite of this being against the law of the Mage Association, just to see the look on that person's face. [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Huh.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is totally brash, rude, and a bit of a jerk towards nearly everyone, but shows that she does care for her friends from time to time.
* KungFuWizard: She's a rookie magus who kicks ass with both her magus powers ''and'' martial arts skills.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Tobimaru. They bicker and take jabs and hurl insults at each other most of the time, but they're also close enough for them to act more natural toward each other.
* MeaningfulName: ''Aoko'' means "blue child". Her magic consists of blasting things with blue bullets or blue beams and her runes are all blue. [[spoiler: There's also the name of the the Fifth Magic, Blue.]] In the [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} future]], she's known by the title of [[RedBaron "Magic Gunner Blue"]] or "Miss Blue". It should be noted however that Aoko's not too fond of her name, if her telling Shiki to call her anything ''but'' Aoko is anything.
* ModestyShorts: Wears some underneath her skirt[[note]] If you're wondering, they're black [[/note]]. Helps that she's a KickChick too.
* NotAMorningPerson: A trait she shares with three other [[Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} Type-Moon]] characters: [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rin]], [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Shiki]], and [[LightNovel/FireGirl Homura]].
* OhCrap: Her reaction when she accidentally [[spoiler: destroyed one of Alice's Ploys.]] in Chapter 5. And on the same chapter, this is also her reaction when she sees a gigantic MonsterClown getting ready to chomp on her and Soujuurou from above.
* PerpetualFrowner: [[SubvertedTrope Not really]], but she constantly gives everyone a DeathGlare whenever she's in a bad mood...which is most of the time. Alice calls her out on this.
--> '''Alice:''' "Your gaze is too harsh for normal people, Aoko. You should try to be a little more lenient."
* PlayboyBunny: She gets to wear one in one scene. She's...not exactly happy about it.
* PowerDyesYourHair: [[spoiler: When she uses the Fifth Magic, Blue, her brown hair turns red.]]
* PowerGlows: [[spoiler: When using Blue for the first time, her entire body starts glowing.]]
* {{Pride}}: Her pride is one of her defining features.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Alice's blue.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: Towards Touko after she brutally kills Soujuurou in front of her. This is what lets her use Blue for the first time.]]
* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler: Blue, as one of the five great Magics from the Nasuverse, allows Aoko to manipulate time to her liking, like how she managed to accelerate her own powers by accessing her ten-years later self's abilities, or when she displaced Soujuurou's death to the far future to revive him. However, the exact nature of Blue is still relatively unknown and what Aoko has shown so far was only the tip of the iceberg.]]
* StudentCouncilPresident: Her role in the school.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler: When using Blue for the first time to accelerate her own time and to give her the power boost needed to beat Touko, Aoko gets a complete PowerMakeover that turns her [[PowerDyesYourHair normally brunette hair bright red]], [[GlowingEyesOfDoom makes her blue eyes glow completely bright]], and to top it all off, gets a [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes complete wardrobe change]] that switches her school uniform to that of a partially ripped white, sleeveless shirt that [[BareYourMidriff shows her midriff]] and a pair of jeans. Oh, and she gets some fingerless gloves to go with the outfit too.]]
* SuperStrength: Her kicks are powerful enough to break ''trees''.
* TimeMaster: [[spoiler: As part of Blue's power package. She uses this to displace Shizuki's death and to fling it to a distant future.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: A very heavy tsun or harsh type towards nearly everyone she knows thanks to her pride, hotheadedness, and overall grouchiness. Unlike most examples though, it's less of a facade to hide something from anyone and more of her just being genuinely, and harshly frank in general. Uncovering her dere or sweet side however, proves that she can be a very kind and caring person underneath no matter how much she'd want to deny it.
* UnskilledButStrong: Is stated to be average in terms of her skill in magecraft, but her bullets and energy blasts are powerful and are in a state of pure, raw energy. [[spoiler: She also possesses the Fifth Magic, Blue, one of the five great True Magics in the Nasuverse.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: With both Tobimaru and Alice, her childhood friends.
* WhenSheSmiles: She's really cute when she's being at her most sincere when smiling.

[[folder:Alice Kuonji]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaHanazawa
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_alice.png]]
A natural-born witch, the daughter of the elder son of the wealthy Kuonji family and a witch he fell in love with, who lives alone in a mansion. She is emotionally detached and self-abusive, thus she does not form relationships easily, but gradually comes to accept Aoko as a friend. She has been acquainted with the Aozaki family for over ten years and serves as Aoko's partner and teacher.
------
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She is emotionally distant towards people and comes off as a cold person in her introduction. The black hair is a bonus.
* AmplifierArtifact: Her favorite ploy, Diddle Diddle, serves as this to her other offensive ploys when it's used at night.
* AncestralWeapon: A majority of her ploys were made by her ancestors and then inherited by her. The "weapon" part comes from how lethal some of her ploys are, especially the Big 3 created by the first witch of her line.
* BarrierWarrior: [[spoiler: She maintains an invisible one during combat strong enough to easily shrug off minor spells like Aoko's magic bullets.]]
* BerserkButton: Destroying any of her Ploys is a '''bad''' idea, accident or no, and she's described as being more hotheaded than even [[HairTriggerTemper Aoko]] when this happens, [[TranquilFury though her face won't show it that much]].
* ButNotTooForeign: Is half-British and half-Japanese.
* TheCameo: Her Cock Robin familiar shows up in Fate/Grand Order as Robin Hood's pet.
* ChildhoodFriends: With both Aozaki sisters, especially Aoko.
* ColdHam: It is said that she can be more HotBlooded than Aoko when provoked, but hides her emotions all the same.
* TheComicallySerious: She can put on a [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/4/40/Alice_penguin.png/revision/latest?cb=20130105212651 gigantic, cartoonish penguin costume with a completely straight face]].
* ConditionalPowers: Her more powerful ploys can only be summoned at night. She can get around this fact thanks her ploy Diddle Diddle, who's power imparts the concept of "night-time" to area.
* DeadpanSnarker: Usually at Aoko's expense.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Is icy, stoic, and borderline emotionless at first glance, but once Soujuurou helps her defrost, she shows that she can be a really sweet girl when she wants to be. She's still reserved about it though.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: When she and Aoko run into Soujuurou changing, she isn't participating much in the conversation. Partly due to being a reserved person in general, but mostly because she was too busy blushing at the sight she was taking in.
%%* EmotionlessGirl
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even she thought Aoko was going too far when the latter decided to gift Soujuurou a dog collar to replace the bandages on his neck.
* FairyTaleMotifs: Her brand of magic incorporates themes directly associated with fairy tales.
* FamousAncestor: ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' reveals that [[spoiler:she's a direct descendant of Yumina, the first witch and user of the First Magic in the Nasuverse]].
* HalfHumanHybrid: She is a half witch born from a pure-blooded witch mother, and a human father.
* TheHeretic: The Meinster witches are considered heretics among mages.
%%* LadyOfBlackMagic: An aloof girl of grace and beauty who wields ancient magics and familiars brought to life from fairy tales of old.
* MagicalEye: [[spoiler:Her left eye is a Mystic Eye of Enchantment, which serves to highlight how powerful she is as Mystic Eyes of Enchantment are typically only found in [[OurVampiresAreDifferent True Ancestors and superior class Dead Apostles]]. It allows her to cast powerful, crippling illusions; glowing [[RedEyesTakewarning red]] when activated.]]
* MentorArchetype: Serves as one to Aoko to help her train in magecraft.
* MultiEthnicName: Her whole name reflects her ethnicity as a half-Japanese, half-British girl. Interestingly, her first name "Alice" is written in Kanji and not in Katakana like most would expect it to be written as.
* {{Ojou}}: Her large mansion is a hint already, but it was mentioned that her father was a rich businessman and Alice inherited all the wealth he had. There's also the fact that she studies in Reien Girls' Academy, a school mentioned in ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' to be an academy that houses girls from rich families.
* ParentalAbandonment: Both of her parents were already dead before the start of the story which would explain why she's the sole resident of her house before Aoko and later Shizuki came to reside with her. The rest of her extended paternal family never agreed with the union of her parents, so they avoid her.
* TheQuietOne: She makes an effort only to speak when she has to.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Aoko's red.
* ReiAyanamiExpy: Both Alice and Rei are {{Defrosting Ice Queen}}s that contrast with their fellow female character who is a hothead. Alice also has a bob haircut and pale skin like Rei. Given that Nasu has cited ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' as a source of inspiration for the novel, this was likely deliberate.
* TheRival: Aoko sees her as one. It seems to be mutual on Alice's part too.
* SealedEvilInACan: While only some of her ploys are actively malicious or sadist, they all have a physical container of some kind to reside in when not in-use. Examples include, Tweedledum and Tweedledee's dice, Diddle Diddle's bell-charm, and [[spoiler: Flat Snark's vial.]]
* SoreLoser: She admits as much in the aftermath of losing to Aoko.
* SquishyWizard: Remove her powerful magic abilities from her and Alice is completely vulnerable. Contrast Aoko who is a KungFuWizard.
* TheStoic: Her expression rarely changes from its usually calm, disinterested look.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Her default appearance will always be icily stoic, but she has shown that she deeply appreciates and cares for Aoko and Soujuurou in her own way.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: As a witch, Alice was born with her powers and abilities as a magus, having been passed on to her through her blood relation to her late mother, who was also a witch from the Meinster line. [[spoiler:This is a result of them being, in turn, directly descended from Yumina, the very first witch and First Magic user. Alice's most powerful Ploys, the Great Three, were also things she inherited from Yumina, their original creator and user]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Aoko. They constantly try to kill each other on an occasional basis and then have regular conversations like best friends have almost immediately after as if this were a regular thing.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Has uncertain feelings towards Shizuki Soujuurou.

[[folder:Soujuurou Shizuki]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuusukeKobayashi
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_soujuurou.png]]
A young man from a rural location who is still adjusting to living in the city and as a normal high school student. He is quiet and reserved, but warm-hearted and stable in contrast to Aoko and Alice. He winds up living at the Kuonji mansion as well, despite Alice's attempts to drive him away by ignoring him, and Alice develops uncertain feelings toward him.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''oujuurou '''S'''hizuki.
* BadassNormal: By virtue of [[spoiler: being a snake assassin just like Kuzuki from VisualNovel/FateStayNight]]. Also, according to [[WordOfGod Nasu]], Soujuurou is ''the'' strongest male Type-Moon MC (at least, before he descended the mountains, after which he gradually ''weakened''), stronger than even the likes of [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Shiki Tohno]] and [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou Emiya]], both of whom are no slouches themselves.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's genuinely kind and selfless, but when push comes to shove,[[spoiler: he shows off his Snake assassination skills and he's formidable enough to quickly bring down a once thought of to be undefeatable Phantasmal Beast in just two blows to the heart.]]
* BlankSlate: What he was before descending the mountains he originated from. As he continues to settle into modern civilization, he slowly begins to gain an individuality of his own at the cost of being gradually weakened the more he blends in with society.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Soujuurou literally breaks his arm punching Lugh.]]
* ChildSoldier: [[spoiler:Soujuurou came from the same organization as Souichirou, from ''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Fate/stay night]]'']]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Thanks to being raised in the mountains for all his life without contact with any form of modernity until recently, he's this.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Sarcastic comments and insults are something he's immune to thanks to this trope. Just ask Aoko.
* CountryMouse: He's a young man who spent most of his life in a secluded mountain village and is completely naive and inexperienced with city life.
* CoveredWithScars: Looking underneath his sleeved clothes and bandanged neck reveals that his body is covered in multiple scratches and scars. [[spoiler:This serves as {{Foreshadowing}} later in his confrontation with Lugh.]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Him being a completely meek and very strange but friendly boy completely conceals the fact that [[spoiler:he hails from the same organization as Kuzuki, making him a dangerous Snake assassin like him. So his victory over [[InvincibleVillain Lugh]] was a surprising sight for everyone to see.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: He's brutally [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe sliced in half]] by Touko while he was helping Aoko up. Ouch.]]
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: [[spoiler:He hands Lugh his very first defeat in the entirety of his ventures.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: The second most important character in the story next to Aoko. In fact, he has many chapters in the story that focus greatly on him.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Soujuurou takes down Lugh, a two thousand year old NatureSpirit whom not even Aoko could defeat, by punching him in the heart and hitting his back with an elbow blow, which freaks Lugh out due to it being a new experience and actually getting beaten in fistcuffs.]]
* FearIsTheAppropriateResponse: [[spoiler:Meeting Touko at the Pachinko Parlor elicited him running from his job as far as his legs could take him in Chapter 3.]]
* GoodCounterpart: He is [[spoiler: [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Soichiro Kuzuki's]]]] good counterpart, having similar names, backgrounds, and the same initial emptiness before meeting people. The difference is, Soujuurou is a genuinely nice guy, is one of the protagonists, is willing to protect his friends, and is actually averse to killing while [[spoiler: Kuzuki]] is a ruthless killer who has no problem getting rid of his own students for the sake of his lover, who freed him from the empty life he was living, and is an antagonist [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou and Rin]] have to face in their story.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:Soujuurou, courtesy of Touko. But he got better.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:He witnesses what looked to be a murder in the park by Aoko while she was doing mage-stuff, leading to Aoko and later Alice trying to kill him. Both eventually decide to let it go.]]
* IdiotHero: Soujuurou. The guy is just plain clueless.
* TheIngenue: Male example. Soujuurou is completely innocent and curious over many things concerning modern human civilization.
* InSeriesNickname: Tobimaru calls him Souji.
* LethallyStupid: At one point, Aoko catches him trying to leave the school building by jumping out of the window. She stops him and asks him the heck he was thinking. [[spoiler:Though given his training, he might've been fine anyways.]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With.]] Soujuurou said he liked Aoko the moment he saw her. Of course, afterwards the narration adds it was simple kindness he felt for her.
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:He takes a Gandr Curse and keeps going, despite the fact that the illness takes root.]]
* MagneticHero: His kindness and curious naivety won him over a lot of friends.
* MuggleBestFriend: Of sorts to Aoko and Alice. His understanding on magecraft heavily relies on ClarkesThirdLaw, which makes him more accepting to it than most people.
* NaiveNewcomer: Because of this, he readily accepts the existence of magic as just another wonder of the city.
* NiceGuy: Very selfless, forgiving, and kind, winning him the friendships of the temperamental Aoko, the aloof Alice, and the abrasive Tobimaru and Kojika.
* TheNotLoveInterest: Despite the seemingly romantic subtext between him and Aoko, there's ultimately no romance between them, with the narration even pointing that out even as they grow closer to each other in the story. However, it's no question that Soujuurou is a very important person in Aoko's life and vice versa.
* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: [[PlayingWithTropes Played with]]. The story loves pointing out that Soujuurou is a normal person with no special qualities whatsoever especially when you compare him to his friends. While it is true that he's just an average plain paper compared to the more colorful Aoko and Alice, as you go further into the plot, you'll find out that he's anything ''but'' [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass regular]].
* SealedBadassInACan: [[spoiler:He's sealed in a bottle at the end of Chapter 5 by Aoko and Chapter 6 by Alice.]]
* ThouShaltNotKill: Believes that it's wrong to kill. [[spoiler: It's this belief that prevents him from killing Lugh despite defeating him after he harmed Aoko and Alice. It's also because of this that he convinced Aoko to spare Touko's life after Aoko's RoaringRampageOfRevenge over his death at Touko's hands.]]
* WalkingShirtlessScene: There is one scene where the two girls run into him changing his shirt; they were impressed to say the least.
* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: He has multiple jobs, including one where he works at an amusement park.
* WorthyOpponent: According to AllThereInTheManual, [[spoiler:Lugh seems to be hanging out with Soujuurou because he was impressed by him defeating him and is part of why he is no longer with Touko by ''The Garden of Sinners''.]]
* YouAreNumberSix: Implied. [[spoiler:His first name translates to "tenth son" while Souichirou's first name translates to "first son".]]

!!Supporting Characters
[[folder:Tobimaru Tsukiji]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Fukamachi Toshinari
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tobimaruuniform.png]]
The popular vice-president of the Student Council, a classmate of Aoko who becomes Sojuro's best friend. He and Aoko were close friends as children, though they both deny having any feelings for one another. His family life is apparently complicated and he is known to casually smoke and spend nights out.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''T'''obimaru '''T'''sukiji.
* {{Bishounen}}: He's a pretty attractive young lad with chiseled features.
* ButtMonkey: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Aoko usually treats him like dirt as her vice student council president.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Aoko.
* CoattailRidingRelative: To his own parents, mentioning that he can only do so while he's in school for another year, and he's getting his money's worth while he can.
* HeroicBastard: He's the son of his father's mistress and he's experienced both being violently bullied by his brothers as well as looked down upon by the rest of the Tsukiji family for it.
* InSeriesNickname: He's given the nickname 'His Highness' because of his prince-like demeanor.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's the type of person who'll only make friends with you if you benefit him somehow and won't bother with you if you won't. He also won't have much of a problem hurling insults right in front of your face, and yet despite this and his claims that he's a misanthrope, Tobimaru still does his job well as the vice president, often turning away any unfortunate soul who dares try to ask Aoko out to prevent "casualties" from happening, and his friendships with both Aoko and Soujuurou are genuine.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Aoko. They may bicker and insult each other most of the time, but apart from Alice, and later, Soujuurou, he's Aoko's second most trusted confidant and they practically hold very natural conversations with each other whenever they're alone.
* OddFriendship: With Soujuurou. He mentions that the fact that Soujuurou is so honest is the reason he appreciates him (saying that a human that doesn't lie isn't a human), despite being a self-proclaimed misanthrope that only appreciates people he can use.
* ParentalFavoritism: His grandfather, Kunikimi, favors him above all of his family members, including his own children. Tobimaru doesn't see this as a good thing, as not only has he become an even bigger target of vitriol for the entire Tsukiji clan than he already was since the chances of him inheriting his grandfather's vast fortune are high, his own father, his grandfather's eldest son, treats him like an enemy because of it.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: His family basically runs the school, so while he's in it he has the run of things and uses the privileges to his advantage.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:He ends up telling Aoko that Soujuurou was the one who witnessed the murder, sparking the attempt on Souji.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Aoko, his childhood friend.
* WouldHitAGirl: He mentions once hitting Aoko, fully expecting to get knocked around for it, but she decided to TurnTheOtherCheek. The truth is that she caught him before he could hit her and then left him beaten.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Kojika Kumari]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChikaAnzai
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kojika3.png]]
The treasurer of the Student Council, a friend and classmate of Aoko who possesses a cool-mannered and realistic personality. She is very responsible as a result of being in charge of a household of brothers, but she dislikes how the men in her life look down on her. Though her father disapproves of her desire to attend college, Kojika still works hard to save money to attend anyways.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: She's the focus character of the side story included in the visual novel, set after the main story's events.
* AlliterativeName: '''K'''ojika '''K'''umari. See a pattern here?
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She has a one-sided crush on Tobimaru.
* AscendedExtra: She's a supporting character in the main story, but she becomes the main character of the bonus story included in the VN.
* BrutalHonesty: Like Aoko, she's straight to point and doesn't bother mincing her words.
* FamilyVersusCareer: She goes against her father's wishes by working hard so she could go to college in spite of his disapproval of her doing so.
* GrumpyBear: Her general disposition.
* HumansAreBastards: If the story about the Passenger Pigeons she tells Soujuurou is anything, she may believe this.
* IHaveBrothers: While she subverts most of the tropes associated with it, Kojika is the lone daughter of a family of brothers, and displays an assertive personality when getting what she wants in life, namely by going to college against her father's wishes.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's blunt and overall harsh but earnest and sincere in her words.
* PerpetualFrowner: Nearly all of her character sprites have her frowning by default.
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: In the side story featuring her as the main character, she's (temporarily) one of Alice's ploys and the impostor the guests have to spot in order to win Alice's game in the mansion. Of course, after this, she goes right back to being a regular human again.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Housuke Kinomi]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Shohei Kajikawa
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/housuke_kinomi.png]]
A classmate of Soujuurou, Hosuke is a cheerful young man whose primary interests are the attractive girls in class and becoming rich someday. He often tries to organize the male students in class, though his cunning often fails and the girls wind up pitying him instead. He is also Sojuro's co-worker at their part-time job.
----
* BookDumb: He regularly has to take remedial classes all the time thanks to being this.
* ButtMonkey: The guy gets absolutely no respect at all from anyone.
* CasanovaWannabe: He flirts with any new girl he comes across, but he never succeeds in getting them to like him back.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:May Riddell Archelot]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/may_riddell_archelot.png]]
An idol singer who has traveled around the world, May is also a mage with an eccentric personality. She is acquainted with Sojuurou by unknown means and is known by the church. As a mage, her ability is considerable enough to cause trouble for Lugh.
----
* ChildhoodFriends: With Alice, having known her since childhood. Also one to Tobimaru because their fathers are business partners, having lived at their mansion when she was young.
* TheNicknamer: Turns out that the odd names for Alice's ploys come from her. Before that Alice would just give them numbers as names, that would change depending on how she felt.
* {{Ojou}}: The daughter of a rich family, which she makes obvious with her first impression to the cast being a loud entrance via helicopter.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Though she only shows up in the side story that takes place after the events of the main game, it turns out that she is pretty well acquainted with Soujuurou already. How exactly is left unstated, but it is interesting to see that he knew a longtime friend of Alice before encountering her.
* ShoutOut: Give her friendship with Alice, her middle name is likely a reference to Alice Liddell, the real life person who the Alice of ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' was based on.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ritsuka Suse]]
[[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ritsuka_suse.png]]
A member of the Mage's Association, though she has only been part of the organization for a year after leaving the Church. It is believed that Ritsuka is apprenticed to the Aozaki family to act as a watchdog, which is why Aoko is suspicious of Ritsuka's intentions.
----
* AttractiveBentGender: [[spoiler:Aoko]] falling for her while she was dressed in drag is the main reason Aoko has a lot of antipathy towards romance in general.
* CoolBigSis: Acts as one to the younger characters.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Crossdressing is one of her hobbies.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Yuika Suse]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuika_suse.png]]
Ritsuka's twin sister, a member of the church well-known in town as a pious nun. She possesses a genetic condition that results in heightened senses and is skilled in rougher acts as well.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Yuika might seem polite and unassuming on the surface, but according to Aoko, she's a fearsome demonic nun with frightening powers of persuasion underneath that. And by "persuasion", we mean, "violently throwing stuff around to get her point across without losing her composure or smile on her face". Apparently, nasty rumors about the Aida Church and its reputation for ''crushing'' any competition in the neigborhood are all thanks to her.
* DeadpanSnarker: For a nun, she's pretty venomous with her comments.
--> '''Yuika:''' "Oh? [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Aoko]] is engaging in charity? The world must be coming to an end."
* EyesAlwaysShut: She keeps her eyes closed due to being blind.
* VolleyingInsults: Engages in a [[StealthInsult stealthy]] one with Aoko in her introduction.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Eiri Fumizuka]]
[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eiri_fumizuka.png]]
A member of the Church. Despite his gentle personality, his advice is often critical and harsh. He was once apprenticed to the Aozaki family and happens to be Touko's old lover. Because he was strong enough to kill a witch, Touko remains vigilant around him.
----
* ChurchMilitant: He's an Executor from the Church like [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Kirei Kotomine]] and [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Ciel]].
[[/folder]]
!!Antagonists
[[folder:Lugh Beowulf]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lugh_beowulf.png]]
The antagonist of the story, an ageless nature spirit whose true form is a golden werewolf, though he appears as a fair-haired young boy. Other werewolves once revered him as the werewolf who would revive their race, but was ostracized and later sold to Touko Aozaki when it became apparent he was not a true werewolf.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Lugh's backstory.
* {{Animorphism}}: Lugh can take either the form of a pretty boy or a wolf.
* AntiMagic: Lugh is a 3000-year-old phantasmal beast who is completely immune to modern magecraft, making him the perfect weapon to fight against magi and other magical creatures.
* {{Bishonen}}: His human form is that of a young and pretty little blonde boy.
* BreakTheHaughty: Having never once lost a single battle against any being he and Touko have encountered in their exploits around the world combined with his invulnerability to magic and brute strength in general has given Lugh a massive ego and a tendency to look down on his opponents. [[spoiler: He gets a rude wake up call when Soujuurou easily defeats him in just two blows.]]
* CompleteImmortality: A given for a nature spirit as powerful and as long lived as he is.
* CurbStompBattle: He's both the giver and the receiver of this in the story:
** Due to his very high magic resistance and brute strength, his fights with Aoko and Alice would always end in a swift and brutal victory in his favor.
** [[spoiler: He [[UnderestimatingBadassery underestimated]] Soujuurou, ignorant of the fact that the boy was in reality a highly trained assassin, when he attacked him. Lugh promptly regretted it when in an instant, Soujuurou delivered two precise strikes to his torso and back which tore out his heart. He lives, but is left traumatized and helpless for the rest of the final fight.]]
* TheDragon: To [[spoiler:Touko's BigBad]].
* DumbMuscle: Downplayed. More like simple-minded. [[spoiler: Owing to the fact that Touko is more of a [[SquishyWizard squishy wizard]] compare to her [[KungFuWizard sister]], Lugh generally acts as the physical fighter focused on taking down the opponents in front of him, while Touko hang back and cast her spells.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: He's mentioned in ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' as [[spoiler:Touko not having a familiar, which means that their contract has since absolved]].
* HealingFactor: Comes with the territory of being a powerful nature spirit. [[spoiler: It's potent enough to instantly regenerate his heart when Soujuurou destroyed it defending himself from Lugh.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: After losing to Soujuurou and after Touko abandons him, Lugh decides to follow Soujuurou and the gang around as revealed in a side story set a year after the events of the main story.]]
* InvincibleVillain: He went on numerous expeditions with [[spoiler: Touko]] that involved him defeating an unknown number of enemies and other phantasmal beasts and had yet to be beaten once. Not even Aoko and Alice can beat him thanks to his invulnerability to magic. [[spoiler: Soujuurou, however, finally ends his invincible streak.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Touko]] named him for Literature/{{Beowulf}}.
* MorphicResonance: All of his forms shown seems to retain his blond hair and blue eyes in some way.
* NighInvulnerability: Lugh {{No Sell}}s a kick that could break a tree in half.
* NonHumanNonBinary: Nasu states Lugh doesn't have the concept of gender due to being a phantasmal species.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He takes on the appearance of a pretty young boy in his human form, but he's possibly more than a few millennia old as of the story's time.
* PointyEars: Has them in his human form.
* SavageWolves: His time with the werewolf tribe has left him with a preference for wolven forms when he needs to fight.
* SuperMode: He can shift his wolf form into different builds, particularly, his final form is that of a muscular, gigantic golden werewolf whose strength is maximized to his peak compared to his other smaller wolf forms.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: He's left a quivering mess in the aftermath of his defeat at the hands of Soujuurou.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifter: His primary weapon.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Touko Aozaki]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_touko.png]]
Aoko's older sister, regarded as a genius magus in the Aozaki family, who believed that their magical lineage was dying out. She and Aoko don't get along particularly well. Alice enjoys Touko's company because she is a person who can truly understand Alice, though Alice does little to stop the two from fighting.
To see more of her tropes, see her folder in ''Characters/TheGardenOfSinners''.
----
* AffablyEvil: She's genuine friends with Alice and is nice in her own way to other people except for Aoko, who she loathes, but she ''is'' the BigBad of the story.
* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler: Steals the magic crests of numerous magi to give herself the power boost necessary to defeat Alice and Aoko.]]
* BeingWatched: Touko somehow knew when Souji saw her in the camera and turned to face him.
* BigBad: The main antagonist of ''VisualNovel/MahouTsukaiNoYoru''.
* BigBadFriend: To Alice.
* BodyBackupDrive: [[spoiler: Touko's infamous spare body system was already completed by the time of the novel. This of course, made her more or less immortal with no real drawbacks unlike other mages in the Nasuverse.]]
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Aoko's Abel. Let's just say she was pissed when her inferior, less talented, and completely untrained younger sister was given the family crest instead of her who had to work hard to even try to earn it.
* ChekhovsGun: If you've read or watched ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' before, then the puppet sent to attack Aoko in Chapter 5 should be the biggest hint that confirms that Touko is its creator and that she's been the one instigating the attacks against Aoko and Alice.
* ChekhovsGunman: She appears as early as Chapter 3 playing with a slot machine in the casino Soujuurou worked part time in but doesn't appear again until later chapters where, ''tada!' it's revealed that she's the BigBad and intruder Aoko and Alice have been trying to hunt down.
* CombatPragmatist: She's a completely dirty fighter in her fights against Alice and Aoko thanks to bringing the undefeated [[AntiMagic Lugh]] along with her during her encounters with them.
** [[spoiler: She also didn't hesitate to [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe slice Soujuurou in two]] after she witnessed him effortlessly defeat Lugh.]]
* EvilRedhead: As a [[AffablyEvil contrast]] to [[GoodIsNotNice Aoko]].
* TheGlassesComeOff: Glasses on, she's the friendly [[CoolBigSis older sister-type character]] who is playful and teasing towards you. Glasses off, and she's probably scheming your death in more ways than one.
* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: [[spoiler: It's revealed that by the time of the novel, Touko's [[BodyBackupDrive puppet duplicate system]] was already fully operational. It allowed her to escape Aoko's curse, which banished her from Misaki Town for a decades' time, one year after the epilogue of the story when she got tired of it by committing suicide and transferring to a spare body.]]
* InstantRunes: [[spoiler: Her primary offensive magic takes the form of not just any runes, but three [[UpToEleven Primordial Rune]] [[SuperPrototype Replicas]] she had managed to re-create.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Touko" means "orange child", a name that contrasts that of her sister's name's ColorMotif.
* MythologyGag: Her appearance here in this game is a combination of her old prototype design and her updated redesign.
* PetTheDog: While it was for pragmatic purposes, her taking Lugh under her wing [[spoiler: before abandoning him following his loss to Soujuurou]] can be seen as this. Her sparing of Alice in their first encounter despite having the opportunity to kill her right then and there is also this.
* TheResenter: To say Touko was pissed when Aoko inherited the family crest and Blue instead of her, after she had been training a lifetime in magecraft for this, is an understatement.
* SelfMadeOrphan: More like "self-made granddaughter" since [[spoiler:she murdered her and Aoko's grandfather after he passed on the family crest to Aoko instead of her. This is one of the reasons for Aoko's animosity towards her.]] [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] later on when it's revealed that it was actually her ex-lover [[ChurchMilitant Eiri Fumizuka]] that killed him simply on a whim.]]
* SmokingIsCool: ''Good lord'' she smokes like a chimney! She's famous in Type-Moon for being one of the only known owners of the Taiwanese made Dragon-Smoke cigarettes. Touko admits they taste terrible but she continues to smoke them because they are so rare.
* TheUnfavorite: Even though Touko's the eldest child and is well within her rights to be the first in line to inherit the Aozaki's magic crest, her grandfather instead passed her over in favor of giving the crest to her younger sister, Aoko, despite Aoko's lack of experience and training in magic unlike her.

The protagonist of the story, a high school student who has just begun to learn sorcery after moving into an old mansion where a witch was rumored to live. At school, she is the student council president.
To see more of Aoko's tropes, see her entry under ''Characters/{{Tsukihime}}''.
-----
* ActionGirl: She's a competent badass girl who can eat her enemies for breakfast with, or without her powers. If she can't [[BeamSpam beam spam]] her way to victory, then she can just rely on her own hand to hand combat skills instead.
* AlliterativeName: '''Ao'''ko '''Ao'''zaki.
* AlmightyJanitor: Her magic circuits are of average quality compared to her older sister Touko's being of the best in the world, and she is, as of ''Mahoyo's'' time, an inept mage compared to both Alice and Touko. However, she is flexible when it comes to utilizing her abilities to their fullest potential. [[spoiler: And that's not counting Blue yet...]]
* BadassAdorable: She is absolutely ''adorable'' when she smiles and goofs off when her guard's down, but she can still pack a punch in combat when needed, or you know, [[HairTriggerTemper when angered]].
* BeamSpam: Her favorite method of attack.
* BigEater: Much to Alice's displeasure, Aoko's appetite is big, and she'd usually finish the food she and Alice are supposed to eat together first before even getting home when ordering take out!
* BoobsOfSteel: She's very well-endowed for a teenager and her brand of magecraft is basically FullContactMagic, complete with firing huge waves of raw energy from her hands. She's also the only magus in the game who can actually physically fight, [[KungFuWizard as she knows martial arts]].
* BookSmart: She's one of her school's top students.
* BrainyBrunette: As inept as she is at being a magus, she's an excellent student with top grades.
* BrutalHonesty: She sees no point in sugarcoating words.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Touko's Cain. Their SiblingRivalry got ''real bad'' and ''really ugly'' over the years and the hatred is strong between the two Aozaki sisters.
* CelibateHeroine: That little [[NoodleIncident incident]] with [[spoiler: Ritsuka]] must've traumatized her a lot for her to stay away from any and all romantic endeavors at all costs. Doesn't stop the game from giving her ShipTease with Soujuurou, though.
* CheshireCatGrin: A master of this, next to the DeathGlare. It usually pops out whenever she's about to either playfully mock or mercilessly tease someone, a.k.a., Tobimaru. Usually merges with SmugSmiler.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Tobimaru Tsukiji. Their relationship is close enough for the others to think that they've got this ChildhoodFriendRomance thing going on, much to both of their [[JustFriends chagrins]]. Also with Alice Kuonji who has been acquainted with their family for a while. [[spoiler:Mind you, she openly admits that she would kill them both as a magus at certain points.]]
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: To Soujuurou. She has her job cut out for her...
* DeadpanSnarker: Sometimes. Mostly with regards to [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Soujuurou]].
* DeathGlare: She's a master of giving these out and most of her sprites have her usually wearing this expression.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Of the hot-blooded variety.
* {{Determinator}}: Her stubbornness and her inability to give up or lose in a fight are features Aoko excels at completely.
* TheDreaded: Among her schoolmates at school. She's so feared that when she entered Soujuurou's normally boisterous class to check up on him, all of the students present there immediately went quiet and returned to each of their proper seats.
* DudeMagnet: In her first year, Aoko attracted virtually every boy in the school to the point they were waging fights against each other to eat with her. This stopped when her [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold personality]] became evident. Heck, even ''[[WordOfGod Nasu]]'' himself says that Aoko is a high maintenance girlfriend!
* EnragedByIdiocy: Is [[{{Tsundere}} pricklier than normal]] whenever she's around [[IdiotHero Shizuki]]. Contributes to most of the game's hilarious moments with her exasperated facial expressions from time to time.
* {{Expy}}: Given that Nasu has stated ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' was a influence on ''Mahou Tsukai no Yoru'', comparisons can be made between Aoko and Asuka; both are blue-eyed FieryRedhead {{tsundere}}s who are [[EnragedByIdiocy enraged by the idiocy]] of their male friend that [[UnresolvedSexualTension they may have a thing for]] and are the [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni to their female "friend"'s Blue Oni]].
* FemaleGaze: When she and Alice accidentally walk in on Soujuurou getting dressed. It's also partly because that's when they learn that he's CoveredWithScars...
* FieryRedhead: Even though her hair is closer to brown as opposed to her older self's bright red hair, teenage Aoko is even more short-tempered and HotBlooded.
* GenkiGirl: She's actually pretty cheerful and [[ConstantlyCurious childishly curious]] underneath that stern facade she loves putting up all the time.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[spoiler: Activating Blue makes her naturally blue eyes glow brighter from the power overflowing in her body.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: She is ''definitely'' a [[HiddenHeartOfGold good and kind person]] underneath that [[{{Tsundere}} tsun]] exterior of hers, but you wouldn't be able to tell from the way she [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold acts and speaks sometimes]].
* GrumpyBear: Especially at the beginning before CharacterDevelopment kicked in.
* HairIntakes: Her hairstyle includes a pair of intakes that look somewhat like small cat ears.
* HairTriggerTemper: A lot of things can set her off. She cooled down gradually over time, but this trait of hers is still present in extra materials.
* HateAtFirstSight: She says that she felt displeasure upon meeting Soujuurou for the first time, in contrast to Soujuurou's LoveAtFirstSight with her. Turns out this is more [[IrrationalHatred irrational hatred]] than anything on her part.
* HiddenDepths: Though most (if not all) of the students in her school fear her for her stern, fiery personality and violent temper, she's also known among them as the type of person who'd (willingly or not) take care of others and is said to be doing a ''really'' good job at that. [[HiddenHeartOfGold This is one of the earliest hints that she's a lot nicer than she appears to be]].
* HotBlooded: In contrast to her more reserved sister and her own stoic best friend.
* IGaveMyWord: She keeps both the letter and spirit of her word. If she makes a promise, she ''will'' keep it.
* InadequateInheritor: At least, this is how [[spoiler: her sister Touko]] views her, since her skills in magecraft and magic circuit quality are vastly inferior compared to hers.
* ItAmusedMe: At one point, she thinks about how she'll probably reveal to a non-Mage that she's a Mage in spite of this being against the law of the Mage Association, just to see the look on that person's face. [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Huh.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Is totally brash, rude, and a bit of a jerk towards nearly everyone, but shows that she does care for her friends from time to time.
* KungFuWizard: She's a rookie magus who kicks ass with both her magus powers ''and'' martial arts skills.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Tobimaru. They bicker and take jabs and hurl insults at each other most of the time, but they're also close enough for them to act more natural toward each other.
* MeaningfulName: ''Aoko'' means "blue child". Her magic consists of blasting things with blue bullets or blue beams and her runes are all blue. [[spoiler: There's also the name of the the Fifth Magic, Blue.]] In the [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} future]], she's known by the title of [[RedBaron "Magic Gunner Blue"]] or "Miss Blue". It should be noted however that Aoko's not too fond of her name, if her telling Shiki to call her anything ''but'' Aoko is anything.
* ModestyShorts: Wears some underneath her skirt[[note]] If you're wondering, they're black [[/note]]. Helps that she's a KickChick too.
* NotAMorningPerson: A trait she shares with three other [[Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} Type-Moon]] characters: [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rin]], [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Shiki]], and [[LightNovel/FireGirl Homura]].
* OhCrap: Her reaction when she accidentally [[spoiler: destroyed one of Alice's Ploys.]] in Chapter 5. And on the same chapter, this is also her reaction when she sees a gigantic MonsterClown getting ready to chomp on her and Soujuurou from above.
* PerpetualFrowner: [[SubvertedTrope Not really]], but she constantly gives everyone a DeathGlare whenever she's in a bad mood...which is most of the time. Alice calls her out on this.
--> '''Alice:''' "Your gaze is too harsh for normal people, Aoko. You should try to be a little more lenient."
* PlayboyBunny: She gets to wear one in one scene. She's...not exactly happy about it.
* PowerDyesYourHair: [[spoiler: When she uses the Fifth Magic, Blue, her brown hair turns red.]]
* PowerGlows: [[spoiler: When using Blue for the first time, her entire body starts glowing.]]
* {{Pride}}: Her pride is one of her defining features.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Alice's blue.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: Towards Touko after she brutally kills Soujuurou in front of her. This is what lets her use Blue for the first time.]]
* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler: Blue, as one of the five great Magics from the Nasuverse, allows Aoko to manipulate time to her liking, like how she managed to accelerate her own powers by accessing her ten-years later self's abilities, or when she displaced Soujuurou's death to the far future to revive him. However, the exact nature of Blue is still relatively unknown and what Aoko has shown so far was only the tip of the iceberg.]]
* StudentCouncilPresident: Her role in the school.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler: When using Blue for the first time to accelerate her own time and to give her the power boost needed to beat Touko, Aoko gets a complete PowerMakeover that turns her [[PowerDyesYourHair normally brunette hair bright red]], [[GlowingEyesOfDoom makes her blue eyes glow completely bright]], and to top it all off, gets a [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes complete wardrobe change]] that switches her school uniform to that of a partially ripped white, sleeveless shirt that [[BareYourMidriff shows her midriff]] and a pair of jeans. Oh, and she gets some fingerless gloves to go with the outfit too.]]
* SuperStrength: Her kicks are powerful enough to break ''trees''.
* TimeMaster: [[spoiler: As part of Blue's power package. She uses this to displace Shizuki's death and to fling it to a distant future.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: A very heavy tsun or harsh type towards nearly everyone she knows thanks to her pride, hotheadedness, and overall grouchiness. Unlike most examples though, it's less of a facade to hide something from anyone and more of her just being genuinely, and harshly frank in general. Uncovering her dere or sweet side however, proves that she can be a very kind and caring person underneath no matter how much she'd want to deny it.
* UnskilledButStrong: Is stated to be average in terms of her skill in magecraft, but her bullets and energy blasts are powerful and are in a state of pure, raw energy. [[spoiler: She also possesses the Fifth Magic, Blue, one of the five great True Magics in the Nasuverse.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: With both Tobimaru and Alice, her childhood friends.
* WhenSheSmiles: She's really cute when she's being at her most sincere when smiling.

[[folder:Alice Kuonji]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaHanazawa
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_alice.png]]
A natural-born witch, the daughter of the elder son of the wealthy Kuonji family and a witch he fell in love with, who lives alone in a mansion. She is emotionally detached and self-abusive, thus she does not form relationships easily, but gradually comes to accept Aoko as a friend. She has been acquainted with the Aozaki family for over ten years and serves as Aoko's partner and teacher.
------
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She is emotionally distant towards people and comes off as a cold person in her introduction. The black hair is a bonus.
* AmplifierArtifact: Her favorite ploy, Diddle Diddle, serves as this to her other offensive ploys when it's used at night.
* AncestralWeapon: A majority of her ploys were made by her ancestors and then inherited by her. The "weapon" part comes from how lethal some of her ploys are, especially the Big 3 created by the first witch of her line.
* BarrierWarrior: [[spoiler: She maintains an invisible one during combat strong enough to easily shrug off minor spells like Aoko's magic bullets.]]
* BerserkButton: Destroying any of her Ploys is a '''bad''' idea, accident or no, and she's described as being more hotheaded than even [[HairTriggerTemper Aoko]] when this happens, [[TranquilFury though her face won't show it that much]].
* ButNotTooForeign: Is half-British and half-Japanese.
* TheCameo: Her Cock Robin familiar shows up in Fate/Grand Order as Robin Hood's pet.
* ChildhoodFriends: With both Aozaki sisters, especially Aoko.
* ColdHam: It is said that she can be more HotBlooded than Aoko when provoked, but hides her emotions all the same.
* TheComicallySerious: She can put on a [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/4/40/Alice_penguin.png/revision/latest?cb=20130105212651 gigantic, cartoonish penguin costume with a completely straight face]].
* ConditionalPowers: Her more powerful ploys can only be summoned at night. She can get around this fact thanks her ploy Diddle Diddle, who's power imparts the concept of "night-time" to area.
* DeadpanSnarker: Usually at Aoko's expense.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Is icy, stoic, and borderline emotionless at first glance, but once Soujuurou helps her defrost, she shows that she can be a really sweet girl when she wants to be. She's still reserved about it though.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: When she and Aoko run into Soujuurou changing, she isn't participating much in the conversation. Partly due to being a reserved person in general, but mostly because she was too busy blushing at the sight she was taking in.
%%* EmotionlessGirl
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even she thought Aoko was going too far when the latter decided to gift Soujuurou a dog collar to replace the bandages on his neck.
* FairyTaleMotifs: Her brand of magic incorporates themes directly associated with fairy tales.
* FamousAncestor: ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' reveals that [[spoiler:she's a direct descendant of Yumina, the first witch and user of the First Magic in the Nasuverse]].
* HalfHumanHybrid: She is a half witch born from a pure-blooded witch mother, and a human father.
* TheHeretic: The Meinster witches are considered heretics among mages.
%%* LadyOfBlackMagic: An aloof girl of grace and beauty who wields ancient magics and familiars brought to life from fairy tales of old.
* MagicalEye: [[spoiler:Her left eye is a Mystic Eye of Enchantment, which serves to highlight how powerful she is as Mystic Eyes of Enchantment are typically only found in [[OurVampiresAreDifferent True Ancestors and superior class Dead Apostles]]. It allows her to cast powerful, crippling illusions; glowing [[RedEyesTakewarning red]] when activated.]]
* MentorArchetype: Serves as one to Aoko to help her train in magecraft.
* MultiEthnicName: Her whole name reflects her ethnicity as a half-Japanese, half-British girl. Interestingly, her first name "Alice" is written in Kanji and not in Katakana like most would expect it to be written as.
* {{Ojou}}: Her large mansion is a hint already, but it was mentioned that her father was a rich businessman and Alice inherited all the wealth he had. There's also the fact that she studies in Reien Girls' Academy, a school mentioned in ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' to be an academy that houses girls from rich families.
* ParentalAbandonment: Both of her parents were already dead before the start of the story which would explain why she's the sole resident of her house before Aoko and later Shizuki came to reside with her. The rest of her extended paternal family never agreed with the union of her parents, so they avoid her.
* TheQuietOne: She makes an effort only to speak when she has to.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Aoko's red.
* ReiAyanamiExpy: Both Alice and Rei are {{Defrosting Ice Queen}}s that contrast with their fellow female character who is a hothead. Alice also has a bob haircut and pale skin like Rei. Given that Nasu has cited ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' as a source of inspiration for the novel, this was likely deliberate.
* TheRival: Aoko sees her as one. It seems to be mutual on Alice's part too.
* SealedEvilInACan: While only some of her ploys are actively malicious or sadist, they all have a physical container of some kind to reside in when not in-use. Examples include, Tweedledum and Tweedledee's dice, Diddle Diddle's bell-charm, and [[spoiler: Flat Snark's vial.]]
* SoreLoser: She admits as much in the aftermath of losing to Aoko.
* SquishyWizard: Remove her powerful magic abilities from her and Alice is completely vulnerable. Contrast Aoko who is a KungFuWizard.
* TheStoic: Her expression rarely changes from its usually calm, disinterested look.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Her default appearance will always be icily stoic, but she has shown that she deeply appreciates and cares for Aoko and Soujuurou in her own way.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: As a witch, Alice was born with her powers and abilities as a magus, having been passed on to her through her blood relation to her late mother, who was also a witch from the Meinster line. [[spoiler:This is a result of them being, in turn, directly descended from Yumina, the very first witch and First Magic user. Alice's most powerful Ploys, the Great Three, were also things she inherited from Yumina, their original creator and user]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Aoko. They constantly try to kill each other on an occasional basis and then have regular conversations like best friends have almost immediately after as if this were a regular thing.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Has uncertain feelings towards Shizuki Soujuurou.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Soujuurou Shizuki]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuusukeKobayashi
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_soujuurou.png]]
A young man from a rural location who is still adjusting to living in the city and as a normal high school student. He is quiet and reserved, but warm-hearted and stable in contrast to Aoko and Alice. He winds up living at the Kuonji mansion as well, despite Alice's attempts to drive him away by ignoring him, and Alice develops uncertain feelings toward him.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''oujuurou '''S'''hizuki.
* BadassNormal: By virtue of [[spoiler: being a snake assassin just like Kuzuki from VisualNovel/FateStayNight]]. Also, according to [[WordOfGod Nasu]], Soujuurou is ''the'' strongest male Type-Moon MC (at least, before he descended the mountains, after which he gradually ''weakened''), stronger than even the likes of [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Shiki Tohno]] and [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou Emiya]], both of whom are no slouches themselves.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's genuinely kind and selfless, but when push comes to shove,[[spoiler: he shows off his Snake assassination skills and he's formidable enough to quickly bring down a once thought of to be undefeatable Phantasmal Beast in just two blows to the heart.]]
* BlankSlate: What he was before descending the mountains he originated from. As he continues to settle into modern civilization, he slowly begins to gain an individuality of his own at the cost of being gradually weakened the more he blends in with society.
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Soujuurou literally breaks his arm punching Lugh.]]
* ChildSoldier: [[spoiler:Soujuurou came from the same organization as Souichirou, from ''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Fate/stay night]]'']]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Thanks to being raised in the mountains for all his life without contact with any form of modernity until recently, he's this.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Sarcastic comments and insults are something he's immune to thanks to this trope. Just ask Aoko.
* CountryMouse: He's a young man who spent most of his life in a secluded mountain village and is completely naive and inexperienced with city life.
* CoveredWithScars: Looking underneath his sleeved clothes and bandanged neck reveals that his body is covered in multiple scratches and scars. [[spoiler:This serves as {{Foreshadowing}} later in his confrontation with Lugh.]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Him being a completely meek and very strange but friendly boy completely conceals the fact that [[spoiler:he hails from the same organization as Kuzuki, making him a dangerous Snake assassin like him. So his victory over [[InvincibleVillain Lugh]] was a surprising sight for everyone to see.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: He's brutally [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe sliced in half]] by Touko while he was helping Aoko up. Ouch.]]
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: [[spoiler:He hands Lugh his very first defeat in the entirety of his ventures.]]
* {{Deuteragonist}}: The second most important character in the story next to Aoko. In fact, he has many chapters in the story that focus greatly on him.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Soujuurou takes down Lugh, a two thousand year old NatureSpirit whom not even Aoko could defeat, by punching him in the heart and hitting his back with an elbow blow, which freaks Lugh out due to it being a new experience and actually getting beaten in fistcuffs.]]
* FearIsTheAppropriateResponse: [[spoiler:Meeting Touko at the Pachinko Parlor elicited him running from his job as far as his legs could take him in Chapter 3.]]
* GoodCounterpart: He is [[spoiler: [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Soichiro Kuzuki's]]]] good counterpart, having similar names, backgrounds, and the same initial emptiness before meeting people. The difference is, Soujuurou is a genuinely nice guy, is one of the protagonists, is willing to protect his friends, and is actually averse to killing while [[spoiler: Kuzuki]] is a ruthless killer who has no problem getting rid of his own students for the sake of his lover, who freed him from the empty life he was living, and is an antagonist [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Shirou and Rin]] have to face in their story.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:Soujuurou, courtesy of Touko. But he got better.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:He witnesses what looked to be a murder in the park by Aoko while she was doing mage-stuff, leading to Aoko and later Alice trying to kill him. Both eventually decide to let it go.]]
* IdiotHero: Soujuurou. The guy is just plain clueless.
* TheIngenue: Male example. Soujuurou is completely innocent and curious over many things concerning modern human civilization.
* InSeriesNickname: Tobimaru calls him Souji.
* LethallyStupid: At one point, Aoko catches him trying to leave the school building by jumping out of the window. She stops him and asks him the heck he was thinking. [[spoiler:Though given his training, he might've been fine anyways.]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With.]] Soujuurou said he liked Aoko the moment he saw her. Of course, afterwards the narration adds it was simple kindness he felt for her.
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:He takes a Gandr Curse and keeps going, despite the fact that the illness takes root.]]
* MagneticHero: His kindness and curious naivety won him over a lot of friends.
* MuggleBestFriend: Of sorts to Aoko and Alice. His understanding on magecraft heavily relies on ClarkesThirdLaw, which makes him more accepting to it than most people.
* NaiveNewcomer: Because of this, he readily accepts the existence of magic as just another wonder of the city.
* NiceGuy: Very selfless, forgiving, and kind, winning him the friendships of the temperamental Aoko, the aloof Alice, and the abrasive Tobimaru and Kojika.
* TheNotLoveInterest: Despite the seemingly romantic subtext between him and Aoko, there's ultimately no romance between them, with the narration even pointing that out even as they grow closer to each other in the story. However, it's no question that Soujuurou is a very important person in Aoko's life and vice versa.
* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: [[PlayingWithTropes Played with]]. The story loves pointing out that Soujuurou is a normal person with no special qualities whatsoever especially when you compare him to his friends. While it is true that he's just an average plain paper compared to the more colorful Aoko and Alice, as you go further into the plot, you'll find out that he's anything ''but'' [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass regular]].
* SealedBadassInACan: [[spoiler:He's sealed in a bottle at the end of Chapter 5 by Aoko and Chapter 6 by Alice.]]
* ThouShaltNotKill: Believes that it's wrong to kill. [[spoiler: It's this belief that prevents him from killing Lugh despite defeating him after he harmed Aoko and Alice. It's also because of this that he convinced Aoko to spare Touko's life after Aoko's RoaringRampageOfRevenge over his death at Touko's hands.]]
* WalkingShirtlessScene: There is one scene where the two girls run into him changing his shirt; they were impressed to say the least.
* WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: He has multiple jobs, including one where he works at an amusement park.
* WorthyOpponent: According to AllThereInTheManual, [[spoiler:Lugh seems to be hanging out with Soujuurou because he was impressed by him defeating him and is part of why he is no longer with Touko by ''The Garden of Sinners''.]]
* YouAreNumberSix: Implied. [[spoiler:His first name translates to "tenth son" while Souichirou's first name translates to "first son".]]

!!Supporting Characters
[[folder:Tobimaru Tsukiji]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Fukamachi Toshinari
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tobimaruuniform.png]]
The popular vice-president of the Student Council, a classmate of Aoko who becomes Sojuro's best friend. He and Aoko were close friends as children, though they both deny having any feelings for one another. His family life is apparently complicated and he is known to casually smoke and spend nights out.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''T'''obimaru '''T'''sukiji.
* {{Bishounen}}: He's a pretty attractive young lad with chiseled features.
* ButtMonkey: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. Aoko usually treats him like dirt as her vice student council president.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Aoko.
* CoattailRidingRelative: To his own parents, mentioning that he can only do so while he's in school for another year, and he's getting his money's worth while he can.
* HeroicBastard: He's the son of his father's mistress and he's experienced both being violently bullied by his brothers as well as looked down upon by the rest of the Tsukiji family for it.
* InSeriesNickname: He's given the nickname 'His Highness' because of his prince-like demeanor.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's the type of person who'll only make friends with you if you benefit him somehow and won't bother with you if you won't. He also won't have much of a problem hurling insults right in front of your face, and yet despite this and his claims that he's a misanthrope, Tobimaru still does his job well as the vice president, often turning away any unfortunate soul who dares try to ask Aoko out to prevent "casualties" from happening, and his friendships with both Aoko and Soujuurou are genuine.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Aoko. They may bicker and insult each other most of the time, but apart from Alice, and later, Soujuurou, he's Aoko's second most trusted confidant and they practically hold very natural conversations with each other whenever they're alone.
* OddFriendship: With Soujuurou. He mentions that the fact that Soujuurou is so honest is the reason he appreciates him (saying that a human that doesn't lie isn't a human), despite being a self-proclaimed misanthrope that only appreciates people he can use.
* ParentalFavoritism: His grandfather, Kunikimi, favors him above all of his family members, including his own children. Tobimaru doesn't see this as a good thing, as not only has he become an even bigger target of vitriol for the entire Tsukiji clan than he already was since the chances of him inheriting his grandfather's vast fortune are high, his own father, his grandfather's eldest son, treats him like an enemy because of it.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: His family basically runs the school, so while he's in it he has the run of things and uses the privileges to his advantage.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:He ends up telling Aoko that Soujuurou was the one who witnessed the murder, sparking the attempt on Souji.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Aoko, his childhood friend.
* WouldHitAGirl: He mentions once hitting Aoko, fully expecting to get knocked around for it, but she decided to TurnTheOtherCheek. The truth is that she caught him before he could hit her and then left him beaten.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Kojika Kumari]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChikaAnzai
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kojika3.png]]
The treasurer of the Student Council, a friend and classmate of Aoko who possesses a cool-mannered and realistic personality. She is very responsible as a result of being in charge of a household of brothers, but she dislikes how the men in her life look down on her. Though her father disapproves of her desire to attend college, Kojika still works hard to save money to attend anyways.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: She's the focus character of the side story included in the visual novel, set after the main story's events.
* AlliterativeName: '''K'''ojika '''K'''umari. See a pattern here?
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She has a one-sided crush on Tobimaru.
* AscendedExtra: She's a supporting character in the main story, but she becomes the main character of the bonus story included in the VN.
* BrutalHonesty: Like Aoko, she's straight to point and doesn't bother mincing her words.
* FamilyVersusCareer: She goes against her father's wishes by working hard so she could go to college in spite of his disapproval of her doing so.
* GrumpyBear: Her general disposition.
* HumansAreBastards: If the story about the Passenger Pigeons she tells Soujuurou is anything, she may believe this.
* IHaveBrothers: While she subverts most of the tropes associated with it, Kojika is the lone daughter of a family of brothers, and displays an assertive personality when getting what she wants in life, namely by going to college against her father's wishes.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's blunt and overall harsh but earnest and sincere in her words.
* PerpetualFrowner: Nearly all of her character sprites have her frowning by default.
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: In the side story featuring her as the main character, she's (temporarily) one of Alice's ploys and the impostor the guests have to spot in order to win Alice's game in the mansion. Of course, after this, she goes right back to being a regular human again.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Housuke Kinomi]]
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Shohei Kajikawa
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/housuke_kinomi.png]]
A classmate of Soujuurou, Hosuke is a cheerful young man whose primary interests are the attractive girls in class and becoming rich someday. He often tries to organize the male students in class, though his cunning often fails and the girls wind up pitying him instead. He is also Sojuro's co-worker at their part-time job.
----
* BookDumb: He regularly has to take remedial classes all the time thanks to being this.
* ButtMonkey: The guy gets absolutely no respect at all from anyone.
* CasanovaWannabe: He flirts with any new girl he comes across, but he never succeeds in getting them to like him back.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:May Riddell Archelot]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/may_riddell_archelot.png]]
An idol singer who has traveled around the world, May is also a mage with an eccentric personality. She is acquainted with Sojuurou by unknown means and is known by the church. As a mage, her ability is considerable enough to cause trouble for Lugh.
----
* ChildhoodFriends: With Alice, having known her since childhood. Also one to Tobimaru because their fathers are business partners, having lived at their mansion when she was young.
* TheNicknamer: Turns out that the odd names for Alice's ploys come from her. Before that Alice would just give them numbers as names, that would change depending on how she felt.
* {{Ojou}}: The daughter of a rich family, which she makes obvious with her first impression to the cast being a loud entrance via helicopter.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Though she only shows up in the side story that takes place after the events of the main game, it turns out that she is pretty well acquainted with Soujuurou already. How exactly is left unstated, but it is interesting to see that he knew a longtime friend of Alice before encountering her.
* ShoutOut: Give her friendship with Alice, her middle name is likely a reference to Alice Liddell, the real life person who the Alice of ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' was based on.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Ritsuka Suse]]
[[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ritsuka_suse.png]]
A member of the Mage's Association, though she has only been part of the organization for a year after leaving the Church. It is believed that Ritsuka is apprenticed to the Aozaki family to act as a watchdog, which is why Aoko is suspicious of Ritsuka's intentions.
----
* AttractiveBentGender: [[spoiler:Aoko]] falling for her while she was dressed in drag is the main reason Aoko has a lot of antipathy towards romance in general.
* CoolBigSis: Acts as one to the younger characters.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Crossdressing is one of her hobbies.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Yuika Suse]]
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuika_suse.png]]
Ritsuka's twin sister, a member of the church well-known in town as a pious nun. She possesses a genetic condition that results in heightened senses and is skilled in rougher acts as well.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Yuika might seem polite and unassuming on the surface, but according to Aoko, she's a fearsome demonic nun with frightening powers of persuasion underneath that. And by "persuasion", we mean, "violently throwing stuff around to get her point across without losing her composure or smile on her face". Apparently, nasty rumors about the Aida Church and its reputation for ''crushing'' any competition in the neigborhood are all thanks to her.
* DeadpanSnarker: For a nun, she's pretty venomous with her comments.
--> '''Yuika:''' "Oh? [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Aoko]] is engaging in charity? The world must be coming to an end."
* EyesAlwaysShut: She keeps her eyes closed due to being blind.
* VolleyingInsults: Engages in a [[StealthInsult stealthy]] one with Aoko in her introduction.

[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eiri_fumizuka.png]]
A member of the Church. Despite his gentle personality, his advice is often critical and harsh. He was once apprenticed to the Aozaki family and happens to be Touko's old lover. Because he was strong enough to kill a witch, Touko remains vigilant around him.
----
* ChurchMilitant: He's an Executor from the Church like [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Kirei Kotomine]] and [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Ciel]].

[[folder:Lugh Beowulf]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lugh_beowulf.png]]
The antagonist of the story, an ageless nature spirit whose true form is a golden werewolf, though he appears as a fair-haired young boy. Other werewolves once revered him as the werewolf who would revive their race, but was ostracized and later sold to Touko Aozaki when it became apparent he was not a true werewolf.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Lugh's backstory.
* {{Animorphism}}: Lugh can take either the form of a pretty boy or a wolf.
* AntiMagic: Lugh is a 3000-year-old phantasmal beast who is completely immune to modern magecraft, making him the perfect weapon to fight against magi and other magical creatures.
* {{Bishonen}}: His human form is that of a young and pretty little blonde boy.
* BreakTheHaughty: Having never once lost a single battle against any being he and Touko have encountered in their exploits around the world combined with his invulnerability to magic and brute strength in general has given Lugh a massive ego and a tendency to look down on his opponents. [[spoiler: He gets a rude wake up call when Soujuurou easily defeats him in just two blows.]]
* CompleteImmortality: A given for a nature spirit as powerful and as long lived as he is.
* CurbStompBattle: He's both the giver and the receiver of this in the story:
** Due to his very high magic resistance and brute strength, his fights with Aoko and Alice would always end in a swift and brutal victory in his favor.
** [[spoiler: He [[UnderestimatingBadassery underestimated]] Soujuurou, ignorant of the fact that the boy was in reality a highly trained assassin, when he attacked him. Lugh promptly regretted it when in an instant, Soujuurou delivered two precise strikes to his torso and back which tore out his heart. He lives, but is left traumatized and helpless for the rest of the final fight.]]
* TheDragon: To [[spoiler:Touko's BigBad]].
* DumbMuscle: Downplayed. More like simple-minded. [[spoiler: Owing to the fact that Touko is more of a [[SquishyWizard squishy wizard]] compare to her [[KungFuWizard sister]], Lugh generally acts as the physical fighter focused on taking down the opponents in front of him, while Touko hang back and cast her spells.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: He's mentioned in ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' as [[spoiler:Touko not having a familiar, which means that their contract has since absolved]].
* HealingFactor: Comes with the territory of being a powerful nature spirit. [[spoiler: It's potent enough to instantly regenerate his heart when Soujuurou destroyed it defending himself from Lugh.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: After losing to Soujuurou and after Touko abandons him, Lugh decides to follow Soujuurou and the gang around as revealed in a side story set a year after the events of the main story.]]
* InvincibleVillain: He went on numerous expeditions with [[spoiler: Touko]] that involved him defeating an unknown number of enemies and other phantasmal beasts and had yet to be beaten once. Not even Aoko and Alice can beat him thanks to his invulnerability to magic. [[spoiler: Soujuurou, however, finally ends his invincible streak.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Touko]] named him for Literature/{{Beowulf}}.
* MorphicResonance: All of his forms shown seems to retain his blond hair and blue eyes in some way.
* NighInvulnerability: Lugh {{No Sell}}s a kick that could break a tree in half.
* NonHumanNonBinary: Nasu states Lugh doesn't have the concept of gender due to being a phantasmal species.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He takes on the appearance of a pretty young boy in his human form, but he's possibly more than a few millennia old as of the story's time.
* PointyEars: Has them in his human form.
* SavageWolves: His time with the werewolf tribe has left him with a preference for wolven forms when he needs to fight.
* SuperMode: He can shift his wolf form into different builds, particularly, his final form is that of a muscular, gigantic golden werewolf whose strength is maximized to his peak compared to his other smaller wolf forms.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: He's left a quivering mess in the aftermath of his defeat at the hands of Soujuurou.]]
* VoluntaryShapeshifter: His primary weapon.

[[folder:Touko Aozaki]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahou_touko.png]]
Aoko's older sister, regarded as a genius magus in the Aozaki family, who believed that their magical lineage was dying out. She and Aoko don't get along particularly well. Alice enjoys Touko's company because she is a person who can truly understand Alice, though Alice does little to stop the two from fighting.
To see more of her tropes, see her folder in ''Characters/TheGardenOfSinners''.
----
* AffablyEvil: She's genuine friends with Alice and is nice in her own way to other people except for Aoko, who she loathes, but she ''is'' the BigBad of the story.
* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler: Steals the magic crests of numerous magi to give herself the power boost necessary to defeat Alice and Aoko.]]
* BeingWatched: Touko somehow knew when Souji saw her in the camera and turned to face him.
* BigBad: The main antagonist of ''VisualNovel/MahouTsukaiNoYoru''.
* BigBadFriend: To Alice.
* BodyBackupDrive: [[spoiler: Touko's infamous spare body system was already completed by the time of the novel. This of course, made her more or less immortal with no real drawbacks unlike other mages in the Nasuverse.]]
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Aoko's Abel. Let's just say she was pissed when her inferior, less talented, and completely untrained younger sister was given the family crest instead of her who had to work hard to even try to earn it.
* ChekhovsGun: If you've read or watched ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' before, then the puppet sent to attack Aoko in Chapter 5 should be the biggest hint that confirms that Touko is its creator and that she's been the one instigating the attacks against Aoko and Alice.
* ChekhovsGunman: She appears as early as Chapter 3 playing with a slot machine in the casino Soujuurou worked part time in but doesn't appear again until later chapters where, ''tada!' it's revealed that she's the BigBad and intruder Aoko and Alice have been trying to hunt down.
* CombatPragmatist: She's a completely dirty fighter in her fights against Alice and Aoko thanks to bringing the undefeated [[AntiMagic Lugh]] along with her during her encounters with them.
** [[spoiler: She also didn't hesitate to [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe slice Soujuurou in two]] after she witnessed him effortlessly defeat Lugh.]]
* EvilRedhead: As a [[AffablyEvil contrast]] to [[GoodIsNotNice Aoko]].
* TheGlassesComeOff: Glasses on, she's the friendly [[CoolBigSis older sister-type character]] who is playful and teasing towards you. Glasses off, and she's probably scheming your death in more ways than one.
* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: [[spoiler: It's revealed that by the time of the novel, Touko's [[BodyBackupDrive puppet duplicate system]] was already fully operational. It allowed her to escape Aoko's curse, which banished her from Misaki Town for a decades' time, one year after the epilogue of the story when she got tired of it by committing suicide and transferring to a spare body.]]
* InstantRunes: [[spoiler: Her primary offensive magic takes the form of not just any runes, but three [[UpToEleven Primordial Rune]] [[SuperPrototype Replicas]] she had managed to re-create.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Touko" means "orange child", a name that contrasts that of her sister's name's ColorMotif.
* MythologyGag: Her appearance here in this game is a combination of her old prototype design and her updated redesign.
* PetTheDog: While it was for pragmatic purposes, her taking Lugh under her wing [[spoiler: before abandoning him following his loss to Soujuurou]] can be seen as this. Her sparing of Alice in their first encounter despite having the opportunity to kill her right then and there is also this.
* TheResenter: To say Touko was pissed when Aoko inherited the family crest and Blue instead of her, after she had been training a lifetime in magecraft for this, is an understatement.
* SelfMadeOrphan: More like "self-made granddaughter" since [[spoiler:she murdered her and Aoko's grandfather after he passed on the family crest to Aoko instead of her. This is one of the reasons for Aoko's animosity towards her.]] [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] later on when it's revealed that it was actually her ex-lover [[ChurchMilitant Eiri Fumizuka]] that killed him simply on a whim.]]
* SmokingIsCool: ''Good lord'' she smokes like a chimney! She's famous in Type-Moon for being one of the only known owners of the Taiwanese made Dragon-Smoke cigarettes. Touko admits they taste terrible but she continues to smoke them because they are so rare.
* TheUnfavorite: Even though Touko's the eldest child and is well within her rights to be the first in line to inherit the Aozaki's magic crest, her grandfather instead passed her over in favor of giving the crest to her younger sister, Aoko, despite Aoko's lack of experience and training in magic unlike her.
