[[folder:Tropes they share in common]]
* AloofAlly: Aside from Celia and Akaya, they mostly keep to themselves. By the end of their tenure at Tenbi, they had gained respect for the Maken-ki, but regard them more [[WorthyOpponent as equals]], than as friends.
* AmazonBrigade: Akaya is both the only male and only teacher in their group. Demitra and the others are his subordinates.
* BadassCrew: The Venus students are all high-level ability users, ranging from '''[[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c035/5.html S rank]]''' to above '''SS class''' (the twins, and [[spoiler: Minerva]]) which is the highest level anyone can achieve. Plus, [[spoiler: Yan-Min]]'s Jingu is equal in power to the original 8 Maken.
* TheBeautifulElite: Episode 7 is titled: ''[[LampshadeHanging "The Goddesses who Came Down to Tenbi"]]''. They're all portrayed as stunningly beautiful, especially [[http://makenki.wikia.com/wiki/File:Demitra_and_yang.jpg Demitra and Yan-Min.]] As well as Akaya, who's a somewhat of a narcissist.
* [[ConsummateProfessional Consummate Professionals]]: They're [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c054/22.html so discrete and efficient]] in conducting their investigations, that Ouken [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c032/4.html never suspected]] they were working against him.
* [[ForeignExchangeStudent Foreign Exchange Students]]: [[EagleLand Celia]] and [[AnimeChineseGirl Yan-Min]] are the only two whose nationalities are known for certain. The others' places of origin are never specified.
* GoodLookingPrivates: Venus is an all-girl military school/private academy and it's students dress in matching red militaristic uniform. While Akaya, as the Commander of their unit, dresses in white.
* MagicByAnyOtherName: Their Maken are called "Jingu", but are functionally the same.
* StoryBreakerPower: Because of the unique nature and the extent of their abilities, they're mostly kept out of the story by having them investigate Kamigari's activities behind-the-scenes.

[[folder:Akaya Kyodai]]
Originally a student at Tenbi, back when he was in highschool along with Minori and the others. He was the last to join their group, after being asked several times, before finally accepting. But he was also responsible for the incident that caused the faculty turn Tenbi into an all-girl school. It was later revealed that the incident was a false memory implanted in his mind and the minds of the alleged "victim" as means of pressuring Gen to join Kamigari. Which Akaya prevented, by claiming he could create an exemplary team for Kamgari within ten year's time. Thus, he created the Venus Academy.
----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Akaya may be a goofball, but he's no joke [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c022/19.html when he decides]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c022/20.html to get serious.]] The showdown between him and Takeru wound up being [[CurbstompBattle a onesided affair]]; leaving Takeru [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/18.html ashamed that he couldn't land a single punch.]]
* BishieSparkle: ...complete with [[LoveBubbles Love Bubble]] backgrounds. Also seen whenever he [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c011/9.html flahes his pearly whites.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: See the [[TheFightingNarcissist Fighting Narcissist]] entry.
* TheCaptain: As previously noted, he's the commander of their unit.
* ChickMagnet: Excluding the main female cast and his own students, the ladies can't get enough of him. Even Takaki, who's comfirmed to be [[StraightGay a lesbian]], became smitten with him [[LoveAtFirstSight at first sight]][[note]]Anime only. In the manga, Takaki is androphobic and shown to be [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/11.html uncomfortable around Akaya]][[/note]].
* CombatPragmatist: How do you drop two '''A-rank''' Maken users at once and make it look easy? Simple: use hypnosis to conceal your presence, then [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim put a bullet in them]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c034/5.html before they know you're there.]]
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Every time tries to look cool, or sound deep, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c014/8.html his students]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c015/13.html diss him.]] So did Minori, when he first arrived at Tenbi. The first thing she did was [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/6.html try to slam the door on him!]]
* TheFightingNarcissist: Akaya has a habit of flicking his hair and posing, usually accompanied by [[BishieSparkle bishie sparkling]] and LoveBubbles, to flaunt his good looks. Including the time he and his crew made [[DynamicEntry their dramatic entrance]], after insta-pwning four '''A-rank''' Maken users at once, to save Gen.
-->'''Akaya: (to Gen)''' "Always remember: when making an entrance, it must be grand and elegant at the same time."
* TheGunslinger: His Maken ("Swindle") takes the form of a {{magitek}} revolver.
* {{Magitek}}: Swindle is essentially a caster, allowing Akaya to fire Element imbued shells. The effect varies according to his will.
* ManipulativeBastard: {{Played straight}} and {{subverted}}. He arranged for a 4-on-4 battle between Maken-ki and his students, then had the Twins erect a barrier around the academy to keep anyone from interfering. Initially he claimed it was to assess the Tenbi students' abilities and report their findings to Kamigari. But Aki saw through him, realizing Akaya was only pretending to be a villain in order to ease his guilt over being forced to serve Kamigari.
* ManInWhite: Minus his boots, which are black.
* MinorMajorCharacter: To say he's one of the most plot relevant characters in the series, given his former association with Minori and Gen, his intel on Kamigari and its members -- he gets very little screentime.
* MrFanservice: Only seen during the pool battle in episode 9, where he repeatedly flexes and flaunts his physique. Which gets lampshaded by Uruchi, ''[[SchoolgirlLesbians of all people]]'', while cheering Aki on from the sidelines:
-->'''Uruchi: (cheering)''' "Give that cocky beefcake a fight he'll never forget!"
* RunningGag: Akaya's [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c010/31.html constant posturing]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/16.html and sparkling]], even after arranging [[spoiler: Himegami]]'s capture. Along with repeatedly being dissed by his students (noted in the DudeWheresMyRespect entry).
-->'''Yuuka: (commentating)''' "That's just like sensei, posing for ''[[RuleOfFunny no reason]]''!"
* WeakButSkilled: Akaya is equal to Gen, with both being '''A rank''' ability users, making him weaker than his students. Despite this, he's the one in charge for a reason: he's cunning, he's efficient, and above all, [[MasterOfIllusion his Maken ability]] makes him a difficult advisary even for opponents stronger than himself.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: You'll [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c014/19.html never]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c023/31.html have to ask]] ''[[CombatPragmatist Akaya]]'' that question.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Demitra Midia]]
Akaya's second-in-command is much like their own version of Takaki, strict and focused solely on completing the task at hand. Despite this, she and the others appear to have a soft spot for Celia, such as when they lured Inaho and the other girls away so Celia could have an evening alone with Takeru. Demitra also seems to mesh well with Yan-Min.
----
* AmazonianBeauty: In her manga portrayal, Demitra is not only tall, but [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/19.html toned]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/32.html as well]], and stoically beautiful.
* BloodMagic: "Life Suction" is the deadliest of her Jingu abilities, in which she [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c019/21.html drains all the blood and water]] from the victim's boody.
* BoobsOfSteel: She's an '''E-Cup''' and physically strong enough to [[spoiler: break the "Heaven's Gate" seal on Murakumo with a single blow from her Trident]].
* BraidsOfAction: Demitra keeps her hair fashioned in a long pair of braids down her back.
* BrokenBird: She's been emotionally repressed [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c021/4.html since childhood]], since all she's ever known is people either being [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c021/7.html afraid of her for being an ability user.]] Or those who want to use of her, as a tool. Haruko's kindness and her stubbornness finally got through to her.
* TheComicallySerious: She impresses the other girls with her knife handling skills in Home Ec. class, only to flatly admit [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c009/8.html she doesn't know the first thing about cooking.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has purple hair and matching eyes.
* EmotionlessGirl: It's rare for her to smile, or speak above monotone. A trait she shares in common with the twins, Lilu and Aililu. She later tells Akaya that she felt the Tenbi students were being too warm and hospitable towards them.
* {{Expy}}: Picture [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersTheOrochiSaga96 Leona Heidern]] with braids, instead of a ponytail, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what she looks like. They also [[EmotionlessGirl have similar personalities]] and backgrounds as orphans, who eventually became mercenaries. And both conduct investigations on NESTS and Kamigari respectively.
* [[ImplacableMan Implacable Woman]]: She remained standing and was able to retaliate, after surviving [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c020/18.html a direct attack from Murakumo's]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c020/19.html unsheathed blade.]]
* {{Kuudere}}:
* LadyOfWar: Demitra is so imposing, that Haruko was [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c020/3.html awed by her ability]] several times during their battle. She handles her Trident [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c019/20.html as though it were a naginata]] and her command of her Element is befitting of one who wields Poseidon's Trident.
* LovelyAngels: With Yan-Min. If the pool hockey match was any indication of their teamwork, they're a formidable duo. They work so well together, it's [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/20.html as if each knows what the other is thinking]] and can readily respond [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/27.html by coordinating their abilities.]]
* MakingASplash: "Trident" is a water based Jingu, allowing Demitra to summon and control it at will [[KiManipulation by channelling her Element through it.]] Which enabled her to [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c019/19.html seal off the hallway]] to force Haruko to face her.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Though she admitted that Haruko's sword handling skill surpassed her own, she told her they were having a duel, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c020/6.html not competing for marks.]] And didn't hesitate to attack Haruko [[CombatPragmatism while she]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c020/7.html was down]], not giving her any quarter.
* NotSoStoic: On some level, she and the others wish for normal lives, but feel that it isn't a possibility for them. Which is why they're so fond of Celia's cheerfully outgoing personality. When they helped her go on a date with Takeru, Demitra expressed their desire to live vicariously through her, for that reason.
* NumberTwo: To Akaya.
* StatuesqueStunner: At 5'9'', she's the tallest of the Venus student group.
* TheStoic: Her tone tone conveys no emotion and her expression is always stonefaced. Except for...
* WhenSheSmiles: The first time it happens, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c021/4.html she suppresses it]], but as the Venus students are preparing to leave Tenbi, Haruko gives her [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/13.html a token of their friendship.]] This time, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/14.html Demitra lets it show.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Celia Ootsuka]]
An exchange student, who's popular in America as an {{idol singer}} and as a wrestler. As such, her infectiously cheerful and outgoing personality has endeared her to her fellow students. She takes an immediate liking to Takeru upon first meeting him and soon joins his harem of suitors. However, Ceila is actually a boy with the ability to change genders, thanks to the unique nature of her Maken.
----
* TheAce: In addition to being a popular {{idol singer}}, she's also a talented dancer, a bikini model, and she's a star pro wrestling champion back home, who's beaten most of America's top male superstars.
* AttentionWhore: It comes from her celebrity status as a teen idol, so she hates when anyone steals her spotlight. Which puts her at odds [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c070/12.html with Love Espada]], who's [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl shameless sex appeal]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c073/14.html repeatedly diverts the crowd's attention]] away from her.
* BadassAdorable: She's cute, she's childish, and the combination of her wrestling skills, along with her Inversion ability, enables her to suplex some of the strongest ability users around. And she's so {{moe}}, that her speech bubbles [[SayItWithHearts always include hearts]] -- [[Funny/MakenKi even when she's pissed!]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She was able to [[SingleStrokeBattle OHKO]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/49/10/ Gouken Yamato]], an opponent that Haruko was having difficulty defeating.
* BlatantLies: Along with [[BadBadActing comically bad acting]] in episode 13, when she allows the giant octopus to capture her ''[[CloudCuckoolander on purpose]]'', just to stage a rescue. Himegami and the others each call her out on her bs:
-->'''Celia: (faking)''' '''[[LargeHam "OH NOOOO!]]''' [[BlatantLies The octopus caught me off guard! Whatever shall I DOO??"]]
-->'''Himegami: (grimicing)''' "On purpose!"
-->'''Haruko: (in agreement)''' "Totally."
-->'''Inaho: (blinking)''' "Yeah, she's full of it."
* CryCute: Due to embarrassment, after Takeru's Maken ability cancelled out her Inversion, causing her to revert to male form in front of him. But they became TearsOfJoy, when he told Celia that he still thought of her as a friend, [[Heartwarming/MakenKi regardless of her gender.]]
* CuteBruiser: As several have found out the hard way, [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/18/10/ Ceila's a pro wrestler]] back home, and has the strength to show for it.
* CuteLittleFangs: One is always visible on the left side of her mouth.
* TheCutie: Noted in the BadassAdorable and SayItWithHearts entries.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: There's no discernible difference when Celia [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c019/10.html reverts to male form]], aside from becoming flatchested and having smaller hips. It's even implied that his voice sounds the same, regardless of gender.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: She has heart-shaped irises.
* FunPersonified: Even when she friggin' LOSES, she ''does not'' know what a frown is. When Takeru stole her headband at the end of the pool battle, she didn't care and used the opportunity to snuggle with him.
* GenderBender: Celia is [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c019/9.html biologically a boy]], but she uses her Inversion ability because she prefers to be a girl. Demitra and the rest support her decision and regard her as such.
* GenkiGirl: She ties with Inaho for being the perkiest, upbeat member of the cast.
* HartmanHips: Oh baby! She's got 'em and has a rear end to match. It's easy to see why the guys at Tenbi and back home are crazy for her.
* TheHeart: She's so likeable that even Demitra couldn't help taking a shine to her. As did the rest of her team when they combined their efforts to help her go on a date with Takeru.
* HopelessSuitor: To Takeru, mainly because of his feelings for Haruko, and moreso after he finds out Celia was born male. But her heart's still set on him.
* IdolSinger: Celia has released an album, featuring her greatest hits and she decided to sing '''ALL''' of 'em for Takeru on their date.
* LoveAtFirstSight: She fell hard for Takeru when she saw him defend Haruko during the pool hockey match and [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/8/35/ had no problems saying so.]]
* MsFanservice: Her introductory scene was a montage sequence of her posing in different swimsuits to the cheers of her fans. Plus, she's stacked, has wide hips, and a nice rear.
* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Inversion allows her to switch the properties of anything she desires to being its exact opposite. Thus a weak attack becomes strong and vice versa. Which enabled her to effortlessly one-shot Gouken Yamato with an otherwise simple camel clutch maneuver.
* RosehairedGirl: It's carnation pink to match her infectiously sweet personality.
* SayItWithHearts: All the friggin' time, to the point of being [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c049/4.html surrounded by hearts]] while speaking, and even having [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/22.html heartshaped speech bubbles.]] It's such a habit for her, that she even has hearts in them ''[[BadassAdorable when she's angry!]]''
* SillyMeGesture: Seen in chapter 49, when [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c049/7.html she almost forgot]] to tell the others that her Inversion would wear off the islanders after 30min.
* WillfullyWeak: Celia uses her Inversion ability to maintain her female form, but doing so [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/19/9/ reduces its power by ½]] and continuously drains her Maken's power. Once it's been exhausted, she automatically reverts to boy form until it regains enough power to allow her to change back into a girl. For Celia, it's a smal price to pay since she prefers to live as a girl.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: {{Played straight}} when [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c049/8.html she used a camel clutch]] to stop Gouken Yamato from attacking Azuki, then slamed him into the ground [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/49/9/ hard enough to crater it.]] Also [[PlayedForLaughs done comically]] in the title page for chapter 49, where Haruko's shown frantically tapping out, while Celia has her [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c049/3.html in a Scorpion leg lock.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Yan-Min]]
Venus Academy's attack specialist. Among their group, Yan-Min seems to work best with Demitra and will often pair up with her on assignment. In some instances, it's as if each knows what the other is thinking. However, she forms an intense rivalry with Azuki Shinatsu, due to their pride and their mutual competitive streak. The real problem being, that they're more alike than either cares to admit.
----
* AloofDarkhairedGirl: That, and [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/14.html her smug condescension]] is what set Azuki off and nearly sparked a fight between them.
* AnimeChineseGirl: While she's noted as being Chinese, there isn't much that distinguishes her appearance from the rest of the cast, aside from having slanted eyes and her hairbun decoration. But once she takes off her jacket, i reveals that she's wearing a short {{qipao}} underneath.
* BrainyBrunette: She's extremely knowledgeable about Element and was able to impress the Twins by telling them about [[spoiler: [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c050/4.html Black Element]]]]. Which even they hadn't known existed, despite being '''SS rank''' ability users.
* CombatPragmatist: Yan-Min literally moves with lightning speed and she [[NoNonsenseNemesis doesn't believe in wasting time.]] Meaning, the majority of her fights end before they even have the chance to begin. The lone exception was [[ImplacableMan Azuki]], which is when Yan-Min [[TheRival finally met her match.]]
* DefeatByModesty: Just as she'd been [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/30.html about to steal the puck]] from Azuki to score the winning shot, Azuki used her foot to pull off Yan-Min's bloomers ''[[GoingCommando and her panties.]]'' Forcing her to cover up while Azuki [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/32.html took the final shot.]] Afterward, Yan-Min is seen blushing in embarrassment, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c08/34.htm with a towel across her lap]] to preserve her modesty.
* DefeatMeansRespect: Near the end of their match, Yan-Min [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c017/23.html openly acknowledged Azuki as her equal]], in terms of strength and her tenacity. So as a show of respect, she used her strongest technique to end the fight: "Reichen,"
* EffortlessAmazonianLift: Takeru found out just strong she can be, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c017/17.html when he pissed her off]] (see the ShutUpHannibal entry).
* FlashStep: She's so fast that she can appear next to her opponent, as if she teleported. When she's using Reilii, her movement is preceded by her body flickering like lightning; making it a literal "flash" step.
* ForeignFanservice: Yan-Min is a raven-haired Chinese beauty with a stunning figure, garbed in [[SexyBacklessOutfit a form-fitting backless]] qipao, and her Jingu just happens to be a twintailed lash. [[HelloNurse Nihao, Nurse!]]
* HairDecorations: She always wears a white cloth hair bun covering, slightly to the right near the back of her hair.
* KickChick: Seen during her battle against Azuki, which became a high-speed kickboxing match.
* LightningBruiser: [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/16/20/ Literally.]] With [[SuperMode "Reilii"]] (lit. "Thunder Roar") activated, she moves so fast that she literally becomes a streak of lightning and her attacks become devastating enough to [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/17/6/ even injure Azuki.]] Yan-Min's reflexes also greatly enhanced, [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/17/8/ becoming instantaneous.]]
* LovelyAngels: With Demitra (see the related entry in her section).
* NervesOfSteel: As seen during her introduction, ''do not'' interrupt her while she's on the job, and don't think waving a shotgun in her face is gonna faze her (seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta0_WDww5gw @1:57-2:14]]).
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Noted in the CombatPragmatist entry.
* NotSoDifferent: Despite their differences, she and Azuki share a quite a bit in common. They're both combat specialists at their respective schools ([[KickChick specializing in kicks]]), both are remarkably strong, equally resilient, and excel in speed. Plus, they're both proud and each has a competitive streak a mile wide.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: It's implicit, but apparent in regard to her rivalry with Azuki. For example, when Azuki and Kinua were competing during gym class, Yan-Min joined the competition [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/9/7/ so as not to be left out.]] Likewise, she'd been about to quit the pool battle, until Yuuka lied by saying she was tied with Azuki for popularity. Despite Yan-Min's claim to the contrary, she took [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/10/15/ smug satisfaction]] in believing she wasn't ranked below her.
* RapunzelHair: Her sidetail is long enough to reach her waist.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivered to Takeru while strangling the life out of him:
-->'''Yan-Min: (indignant)''' "Girls? I've heard about this, but it's worse than the rumors ne. You should make your misunderstandings average as well, Oyama Takeru!"
-->'''Takeru: (choking)''' "I'm... just... GHAAH!!"
-->'''Yan-Min:''' "It doesn't matter who it is. The ones on the battlefield fight risking their lives for many different reasons: [[TrueCompanions Azuki does it for her friends.]] [[PatrioticFervor I do it for where I am]] and [[DontYouDarePityMe for my pride.]] You, who insult by saying [[WomenAreDelicate "such things".]] '''[[ThisIsUnforgivable I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!!"]]'''
* RedBaron: Yan-Min is known as "Leifu", said to be, "As fast as lightning and fierce as a tiger".
* TheRival: Noted in the [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou Only One Allowed to Defeat You]] entry.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: She wears a short form-fitting qipao, with a low-cut back.
* ShockAndAwe: She can move at lightning speeds and channel it directly into her fists to greatly increase her striking power.
* ShutUpHannibal: Done to Takeru, when he made the mistake of going on his 'girls shouldn't fight' spiel, during her battle against Azuki. Yan-Min took it as an insult to both of them, [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/17/14/ causing her to become angry enough]] to pick him up by his throat and [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/17/15/ nearly strangle him to death.]] While telling him [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech exactly what she thought]] of his attitude.
* SmugSuper: As a member of an elite international organization, with exceptional physical prowess, Elemental power, and a Jingu whose power is said to be [[spoiler: [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/16/17/ on par with the original 8 Maken]]]] -- yeah, she's got an ego.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's the second tallest member of the group, being only an inch shorter than Demitra.
* SuperMode: She activates "Reilii" by fusing directly with her Jingu. As Celia points out, while in his state, all of Yan-Min's abilities far exceed normal human capability (noted in the LightningBruiser entry).
* SuperSpeed: Even without her Maken, Yan-Min is fast enough to leave afterimages while merely toying with the enemy, such as when she fought Kai Kuragasa. But when she's serious, she moves with such speed that her body transforms into a streak of lightning and, if need be, can further enhance her speed using "Reilii".
* VerbalTic: In the manga, she has a habit of ending certain words, or sentences with "-ne".
* WhipItGood: "Kinben" [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/16/15/ takes the form of]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/16/16/ a twin-tailed whip]], imbued with lightning Elemental properties. Though Inaho imagined her using it as a {{dominatrix}}!
* WorthyOpponent: To Azuki, who said she won't be satisfied until they've had a proper rematch.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Aililu and Lilu Finian, aka 'The Twins']]
A childlike pair of identical twin sisters, who're so like-minded that they tend to speak and act in unison. They're also a pair of '''SS rank''' ability users, and are capable of creating high-level space/time barriers. Which places them at a level comparable to Martha Minerva and Himegami. But they'd much rather knit and silently fawn over cute objects.
----
* BarrierWarrior: They provide support for their teammates [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/15/ by casting]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/15/2/ barriers]], rather than engaging the enemy themselves. Their barriers are so advanced that they can suspend the flow of space-time within them. Thereby enabling the occupants to fight without fear of harming the surrounding environment.

* CutenessProximity: Aililu and Lilu are just as prone to being subjected to it themselves, as they are to cause it in others - including Himegami, though she's too {{tsundere}} to admit it.
* [[TheCutie The Cuties]]: The students at Tenbi Academy [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/9/4/ took an immediate liking to them]], because of how [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/9/5/ utterly adorable they are.]] When it was time for them to return, they [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/25/12/ gave the twins two pair of mittens]] as a parting gift.
* ElegantGothicLolita: They each wear a maid headdress and frilled skirts with their uniform. Hikaru and the others likened them to a pair of dolls.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Which is how they [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/8/12/ introduced themselves.]] One will start, followed by the other, then they'll finish the last part in unison.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Aililu is the blonde one, Lilu's hair is black.
* LuminescentBlush: Whenever they see something cute, or if anyone's fawning over them, since they aren't used to receiving such attention. Their expressions remain deadpan... except for when the students at Tenbi [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/25/13/ saw them off.]]
* PsychicPowers: The Twins also have the ability to [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/20/2/ see and hear everything that takes place within their barrier.]] By placing his forehead to theirs, Akaya was able to keep tabs on the situation as it unfolded.
* SilentBob: For the most part.
* TheStoic: With rare exception, their expression and manner of speaking is almost always deadpan.
* WonderTwinPowers: They speak in unison when casting barriers, or cancelling them.

[[folder:Martha Minerva]]
A mysterious white-haired girl, whose eyes remain closed. Despite this, she's fully aware of her surroundings, due to her ability to perceive anything possessing Element. Minverva's abilities may possibly be well beyond even '''SS class''', according to Minori, which would make her the single most powerful character in the series. However, the strangest thing about her... is her fixation on other girls' underwear and breasts.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: Implied by her obsession with other girls' breasts and underwear. Her introduction scene in episode 7 also has her brag about all the tail she was gonna get at Tenbi.
* AdaptationDyeJob: In the manga, color images show Minerva's hair is white. The anime changes it to being sky blue.
* AuraVision: Minerva's so adept at sensing Element, that she's able to read people's emotions through it. When the girls were bathing, she sensed Haruko's relief that Inaho wasn't ready to confess her true feelings to Takeru yet. Moreover, she's one of the few that're capable of perceiving what Himegami actually looks like, since [[spoiler: her body is a metaphysical construct of pure Element]].
* BarrierWarrior: Using Aegis, she can create gates to other dimensions and move objects freely between them. As well as create barries, surpassing even the Twins' capabilities.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: According to Akaya, Minerva's power was without equal, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c022/13.html surpassing even Ouken Yamato's.]] Had he allowed her to fight Takeru and the others, they would've been outmatched. So he was surprised to see that [[spoiler: Himegami could match her]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Usui, due to their mutual interest in girls' underwear [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/12/8/ and perversion, in general.]] Later, Usui gives her [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall a DVD of the pool battle competition]] as a parting gift, prompting Akaya to joke that Minerva had [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/25/19/ found her soul mate.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Her introductory scene in episode 7 shows she owns the first three volumes of ''Maken-ki!'' ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta0_WDww5gw pause @2:15]])!
* CloudCuckoolander: After using her dimensional powers to steal the girls' panties, she proclaimed herself to be: [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/22/11/ "The one who rules over all underwear, 'The Master of Lingerie'".]] And petulantly insisted they address her as such, [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/22/12/ 'til Akaya made her knock it off.]]
* EyesAlwaysShut: For good reason (see PowerLimiter).
* GenreSavvy: Either [[PaintingTheMedium she's aware that]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/11/10/ she's a character]] in a harem series, or she reads a lot of harem manga. And given her eccentricities, both explanations are just as likely to be true.
* GoThroughMe: In chapter 24, when Himegami attempts to incinerate Akaya for [[spoiler: shooting Takeru]], Minerva comes to his defense [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/24/6/ by challenging her.]]
* MysteriousWaif: No one knows her place of origin, or the true extent of her Maken's ability, but she's undeniably the most powerful of the known ability users.
* MundaneUtility: The girl can create doorways to other dimensions and uses it for stealing other girls' underwear. The others can count themselves fortunate that she's [[CloudCuckoolander such a ditz.]]
* PantyShot: She unintentionally gave Takeru and Usui a pretty good look at hers, [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/11/6/ camel toe included.]] But she'd much rather be the one to do the honors, which she did twice to Haruko and Inaho.
* PantyThief: ...with the aid of dimensional powers, no less. But [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/24/29/ she forgot to give 'em back.]]
* PowerLimiter: Minerva eventually explains that the reason she keeps her eyes closed is to restrain her power. Once she opens them, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c022/9.html it unseals a continuous stream of inexhaustible Element]], enabling her to open and close dimensional gateways anywhere in her field of vision, at will.
* SempaiKohai: During her stay at Tenbi, she spends time giving Kim drawing lessons.
* ThisCannotBe: She (and ''everyone else'', for that matter) was shitfaced upon seeing Minori [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/24/15/ physically rip apart one of her barriers.]] It shocked her enough to make her briefly forget that she was fighting Himegami.
-->'''Minerva: ([[JawDrop slack-jawed]])''' "WHAAAAAT?! She broke through it so easily, because of '''[[CharlesAtlasSuperpower THAT??]]'''"
* WhitehairedPrettyGirl: In the manga it's greyish-white.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Anime only.

[[folder:Tropes they share in common]]
* AloofAlly: Aside from Celia and Akaya, they mostly keep to themselves. By the end of their tenure at Tenbi, they had gained respect for the Maken-ki, but regard them more [[WorthyOpponent as equals]], than as friends.
* AmazonBrigade: Akaya is both the only male and only teacher in their group. Demitra and the others are his subordinates.
* BadassCrew: The Venus students are all high-level ability users, ranging from '''[[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c035/5.html S rank]]''' to above '''SS class''' (the twins, and [[spoiler: Minerva]]) which is the highest level anyone can achieve. Plus, [[spoiler: Yan-Min]]'s Jingu is equal in power to the original 8 Maken.
* TheBeautifulElite: Episode 7 is titled: ''[[LampshadeHanging "The Goddesses who Came Down to Tenbi"]]''. They're all portrayed as stunningly beautiful, especially [[http://makenki.wikia.com/wiki/File:Demitra_and_yang.jpg Demitra and Yan-Min.]] As well as Akaya, who's a somewhat of a narcissist.
* [[ConsummateProfessional Consummate Professionals]]: They're [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c054/22.html so discrete and efficient]] in conducting their investigations, that Ouken [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c032/4.html never suspected]] they were working against him.
* [[ForeignExchangeStudent Foreign Exchange Students]]: [[EagleLand Celia]] and [[AnimeChineseGirl Yan-Min]] are the only two whose nationalities are known for certain. The others' places of origin are never specified.
* GoodLookingPrivates: Venus is an all-girl military school/private academy and it's students dress in matching red militaristic uniform. While Akaya, as the Commander of their unit, dresses in white.
* MagicByAnyOtherName: Their Maken are called "Jingu", but are functionally the same.
* StoryBreakerPower: Because of the unique nature and the extent of their abilities, they're mostly kept out of the story by having them investigate Kamigari's activities behind-the-scenes.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Akaya Kyodai]]
Originally a student at Tenbi, back when he was in highschool along with Minori and the others. He was the last to join their group, after being asked several times, before finally accepting. But he was also responsible for the incident that caused the faculty turn Tenbi into an all-girl school. It was later revealed that the incident was a false memory implanted in his mind and the minds of the alleged "victim" as means of pressuring Gen to join Kamigari. Which Akaya prevented, by claiming he could create an exemplary team for Kamgari within ten year's time. Thus, he created the Venus Academy.
----
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Akaya may be a goofball, but he's no joke [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c022/19.html when he decides]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c022/20.html to get serious.]] The showdown between him and Takeru wound up being [[CurbstompBattle a onesided affair]]; leaving Takeru [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/18.html ashamed that he couldn't land a single punch.]]
* BishieSparkle: ...complete with [[LoveBubbles Love Bubble]] backgrounds. Also seen whenever he [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c011/9.html flahes his pearly whites.]]
* {{Bishonen}}: See the [[TheFightingNarcissist Fighting Narcissist]] entry.
* TheCaptain: As previously noted, he's the commander of their unit.
* ChickMagnet: Excluding the main female cast and his own students, the ladies can't get enough of him. Even Takaki, who's comfirmed to be [[StraightGay a lesbian]], became smitten with him [[LoveAtFirstSight at first sight]][[note]]Anime only. In the manga, Takaki is androphobic and shown to be [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/11.html uncomfortable around Akaya]][[/note]].
* CombatPragmatist: How do you drop two '''A-rank''' Maken users at once and make it look easy? Simple: use hypnosis to conceal your presence, then [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim put a bullet in them]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c034/5.html before they know you're there.]]
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Every time tries to look cool, or sound deep, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c014/8.html his students]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c015/13.html diss him.]] So did Minori, when he first arrived at Tenbi. The first thing she did was [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/6.html try to slam the door on him!]]
* TheFightingNarcissist: Akaya has a habit of flicking his hair and posing, usually accompanied by [[BishieSparkle bishie sparkling]] and LoveBubbles, to flaunt his good looks. Including the time he and his crew made [[DynamicEntry their dramatic entrance]], after insta-pwning four '''A-rank''' Maken users at once, to save Gen.
-->'''Akaya: (to Gen)''' "Always remember: when making an entrance, it must be grand and elegant at the same time."
* TheGunslinger: His Maken ("Swindle") takes the form of a {{magitek}} revolver.
* {{Magitek}}: Swindle is essentially a caster, allowing Akaya to fire Element imbued shells. The effect varies according to his will.
* ManipulativeBastard: {{Played straight}} and {{subverted}}. He arranged for a 4-on-4 battle between Maken-ki and his students, then had the Twins erect a barrier around the academy to keep anyone from interfering. Initially he claimed it was to assess the Tenbi students' abilities and report their findings to Kamigari. But Aki saw through him, realizing Akaya was only pretending to be a villain in order to ease his guilt over being forced to serve Kamigari.
* ManInWhite: Minus his boots, which are black.
* MinorMajorCharacter: To say he's one of the most plot relevant characters in the series, given his former association with Minori and Gen, his intel on Kamigari and its members -- he gets very little screentime.
* MrFanservice: Only seen during the pool battle in episode 9, where he repeatedly flexes and flaunts his physique. Which gets lampshaded by Uruchi, ''[[SchoolgirlLesbians of all people]]'', while cheering Aki on from the sidelines:
-->'''Uruchi: (cheering)''' "Give that cocky beefcake a fight he'll never forget!"
* RunningGag: Akaya's [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c010/31.html constant posturing]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/16.html and sparkling]], even after arranging [[spoiler: Himegami]]'s capture. Along with repeatedly being dissed by his students (noted in the DudeWheresMyRespect entry).
-->'''Yuuka: (commentating)''' "That's just like sensei, posing for ''[[RuleOfFunny no reason]]''!"
* WeakButSkilled: Akaya is equal to Gen, with both being '''A rank''' ability users, making him weaker than his students. Despite this, he's the one in charge for a reason: he's cunning, he's efficient, and above all, [[MasterOfIllusion his Maken ability]] makes him a difficult advisary even for opponents stronger than himself.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: You'll [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c014/19.html never]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c023/31.html have to ask]] ''[[CombatPragmatist Akaya]]'' that question.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Demitra Midia]]
Akaya's second-in-command is much like their own version of Takaki, strict and focused solely on completing the task at hand. Despite this, she and the others appear to have a soft spot for Celia, such as when they lured Inaho and the other girls away so Celia could have an evening alone with Takeru. Demitra also seems to mesh well with Yan-Min.
----
* AmazonianBeauty: In her manga portrayal, Demitra is not only tall, but [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/19.html toned]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/32.html as well]], and stoically beautiful.
* BloodMagic: "Life Suction" is the deadliest of her Jingu abilities, in which she [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c019/21.html drains all the blood and water]] from the victim's boody.
* BoobsOfSteel: She's an '''E-Cup''' and physically strong enough to [[spoiler: break the "Heaven's Gate" seal on Murakumo with a single blow from her Trident]].
* BraidsOfAction: Demitra keeps her hair fashioned in a long pair of braids down her back.
* BrokenBird: She's been emotionally repressed [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c021/4.html since childhood]], since all she's ever known is people either being [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c021/7.html afraid of her for being an ability user.]] Or those who want to use of her, as a tool. Haruko's kindness and her stubbornness finally got through to her.
* TheComicallySerious: She impresses the other girls with her knife handling skills in Home Ec. class, only to flatly admit [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c009/8.html she doesn't know the first thing about cooking.]]
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has purple hair and matching eyes.
* EmotionlessGirl: It's rare for her to smile, or speak above monotone. A trait she shares in common with the twins, Lilu and Aililu. She later tells Akaya that she felt the Tenbi students were being too warm and hospitable towards them.
* {{Expy}}: Picture [[Characters/TheKingOfFightersTheOrochiSaga96 Leona Heidern]] with braids, instead of a ponytail, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what she looks like. They also [[EmotionlessGirl have similar personalities]] and backgrounds as orphans, who eventually became mercenaries. And both conduct investigations on NESTS and Kamigari respectively.
* [[ImplacableMan Implacable Woman]]: She remained standing and was able to retaliate, after surviving [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c020/18.html a direct attack from Murakumo's]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c020/19.html unsheathed blade.]]
* {{Kuudere}}:
* LadyOfWar: Demitra is so imposing, that Haruko was [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c020/3.html awed by her ability]] several times during their battle. She handles her Trident [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c019/20.html as though it were a naginata]] and her command of her Element is befitting of one who wields Poseidon's Trident.
* LovelyAngels: With Yan-Min. If the pool hockey match was any indication of their teamwork, they're a formidable duo. They work so well together, it's [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/20.html as if each knows what the other is thinking]] and can readily respond [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/27.html by coordinating their abilities.]]
* MakingASplash: "Trident" is a water based Jingu, allowing Demitra to summon and control it at will [[KiManipulation by channelling her Element through it.]] Which enabled her to [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c019/19.html seal off the hallway]] to force Haruko to face her.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Though she admitted that Haruko's sword handling skill surpassed her own, she told her they were having a duel, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c020/6.html not competing for marks.]] And didn't hesitate to attack Haruko [[CombatPragmatism while she]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c020/7.html was down]], not giving her any quarter.
* NotSoStoic: On some level, she and the others wish for normal lives, but feel that it isn't a possibility for them. Which is why they're so fond of Celia's cheerfully outgoing personality. When they helped her go on a date with Takeru, Demitra expressed their desire to live vicariously through her, for that reason.
* NumberTwo: To Akaya.
* StatuesqueStunner: At 5'9'', she's the tallest of the Venus student group.
* TheStoic: Her tone tone conveys no emotion and her expression is always stonefaced. Except for...
* WhenSheSmiles: The first time it happens, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c021/4.html she suppresses it]], but as the Venus students are preparing to leave Tenbi, Haruko gives her [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/13.html a token of their friendship.]] This time, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c025/14.html Demitra lets it show.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Celia Ootsuka]]
An exchange student, who's popular in America as an {{idol singer}} and as a wrestler. As such, her infectiously cheerful and outgoing personality has endeared her to her fellow students. She takes an immediate liking to Takeru upon first meeting him and soon joins his harem of suitors. However, Ceila is actually a boy with the ability to change genders, thanks to the unique nature of her Maken.
----
* TheAce: In addition to being a popular {{idol singer}}, she's also a talented dancer, a bikini model, and she's a star pro wrestling champion back home, who's beaten most of America's top male superstars.
* AttentionWhore: It comes from her celebrity status as a teen idol, so she hates when anyone steals her spotlight. Which puts her at odds [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c070/12.html with Love Espada]], who's [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl shameless sex appeal]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c073/14.html repeatedly diverts the crowd's attention]] away from her.
* BadassAdorable: She's cute, she's childish, and the combination of her wrestling skills, along with her Inversion ability, enables her to suplex some of the strongest ability users around. And she's so {{moe}}, that her speech bubbles [[SayItWithHearts always include hearts]] -- [[Funny/MakenKi even when she's pissed!]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She was able to [[SingleStrokeBattle OHKO]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/49/10/ Gouken Yamato]], an opponent that Haruko was having difficulty defeating.
* BlatantLies: Along with [[BadBadActing comically bad acting]] in episode 13, when she allows the giant octopus to capture her ''[[CloudCuckoolander on purpose]]'', just to stage a rescue. Himegami and the others each call her out on her bs:
-->'''Celia: (faking)''' '''[[LargeHam "OH NOOOO!]]''' [[BlatantLies The octopus caught me off guard! Whatever shall I DOO??"]]
-->'''Himegami: (grimicing)''' "On purpose!"
-->'''Haruko: (in agreement)''' "Totally."
-->'''Inaho: (blinking)''' "Yeah, she's full of it."
* CryCute: Due to embarrassment, after Takeru's Maken ability cancelled out her Inversion, causing her to revert to male form in front of him. But they became TearsOfJoy, when he told Celia that he still thought of her as a friend, [[Heartwarming/MakenKi regardless of her gender.]]
* CuteBruiser: As several have found out the hard way, [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/18/10/ Ceila's a pro wrestler]] back home, and has the strength to show for it.
* CuteLittleFangs: One is always visible on the left side of her mouth.
* TheCutie: Noted in the BadassAdorable and SayItWithHearts entries.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: There's no discernible difference when Celia [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c019/10.html reverts to male form]], aside from becoming flatchested and having smaller hips. It's even implied that his voice sounds the same, regardless of gender.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: She has heart-shaped irises.
* FunPersonified: Even when she friggin' LOSES, she ''does not'' know what a frown is. When Takeru stole her headband at the end of the pool battle, she didn't care and used the opportunity to snuggle with him.
* GenderBender: Celia is [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c019/9.html biologically a boy]], but she uses her Inversion ability because she prefers to be a girl. Demitra and the rest support her decision and regard her as such.
* GenkiGirl: She ties with Inaho for being the perkiest, upbeat member of the cast.
* HartmanHips: Oh baby! She's got 'em and has a rear end to match. It's easy to see why the guys at Tenbi and back home are crazy for her.
* TheHeart: She's so likeable that even Demitra couldn't help taking a shine to her. As did the rest of her team when they combined their efforts to help her go on a date with Takeru.
* HopelessSuitor: To Takeru, mainly because of his feelings for Haruko, and moreso after he finds out Celia was born male. But her heart's still set on him.
* IdolSinger: Celia has released an album, featuring her greatest hits and she decided to sing '''ALL''' of 'em for Takeru on their date.
* LoveAtFirstSight: She fell hard for Takeru when she saw him defend Haruko during the pool hockey match and [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/8/35/ had no problems saying so.]]
* MsFanservice: Her introductory scene was a montage sequence of her posing in different swimsuits to the cheers of her fans. Plus, she's stacked, has wide hips, and a nice rear.
* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Inversion allows her to switch the properties of anything she desires to being its exact opposite. Thus a weak attack becomes strong and vice versa. Which enabled her to effortlessly one-shot Gouken Yamato with an otherwise simple camel clutch maneuver.
* RosehairedGirl: It's carnation pink to match her infectiously sweet personality.
* SayItWithHearts: All the friggin' time, to the point of being [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c049/4.html surrounded by hearts]] while speaking, and even having [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c048/22.html heartshaped speech bubbles.]] It's such a habit for her, that she even has hearts in them ''[[BadassAdorable when she's angry!]]''
* SillyMeGesture: Seen in chapter 49, when [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c049/7.html she almost forgot]] to tell the others that her Inversion would wear off the islanders after 30min.
* WillfullyWeak: Celia uses her Inversion ability to maintain her female form, but doing so [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/19/9/ reduces its power by ½]] and continuously drains her Maken's power. Once it's been exhausted, she automatically reverts to boy form until it regains enough power to allow her to change back into a girl. For Celia, it's a smal price to pay since she prefers to live as a girl.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: {{Played straight}} when [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c049/8.html she used a camel clutch]] to stop Gouken Yamato from attacking Azuki, then slamed him into the ground [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/49/9/ hard enough to crater it.]] Also [[PlayedForLaughs done comically]] in the title page for chapter 49, where Haruko's shown frantically tapping out, while Celia has her [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c049/3.html in a Scorpion leg lock.]]

[[folder:Yan-Min]]
Venus Academy's attack specialist. Among their group, Yan-Min seems to work best with Demitra and will often pair up with her on assignment. In some instances, it's as if each knows what the other is thinking. However, she forms an intense rivalry with Azuki Shinatsu, due to their pride and their mutual competitive streak. The real problem being, that they're more alike than either cares to admit.
----
* AloofDarkhairedGirl: That, and [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/14.html her smug condescension]] is what set Azuki off and nearly sparked a fight between them.
* AnimeChineseGirl: While she's noted as being Chinese, there isn't much that distinguishes her appearance from the rest of the cast, aside from having slanted eyes and her hairbun decoration. But once she takes off her jacket, i reveals that she's wearing a short {{qipao}} underneath.
* BrainyBrunette: She's extremely knowledgeable about Element and was able to impress the Twins by telling them about [[spoiler: [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c050/4.html Black Element]]]]. Which even they hadn't known existed, despite being '''SS rank''' ability users.
* CombatPragmatist: Yan-Min literally moves with lightning speed and she [[NoNonsenseNemesis doesn't believe in wasting time.]] Meaning, the majority of her fights end before they even have the chance to begin. The lone exception was [[ImplacableMan Azuki]], which is when Yan-Min [[TheRival finally met her match.]]
* DefeatByModesty: Just as she'd been [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/30.html about to steal the puck]] from Azuki to score the winning shot, Azuki used her foot to pull off Yan-Min's bloomers ''[[GoingCommando and her panties.]]'' Forcing her to cover up while Azuki [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c008/32.html took the final shot.]] Afterward, Yan-Min is seen blushing in embarrassment, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c08/34.htm with a towel across her lap]] to preserve her modesty.
* DefeatMeansRespect: Near the end of their match, Yan-Min [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c017/23.html openly acknowledged Azuki as her equal]], in terms of strength and her tenacity. So as a show of respect, she used her strongest technique to end the fight: "Reichen,"
* EffortlessAmazonianLift: Takeru found out just strong she can be, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c017/17.html when he pissed her off]] (see the ShutUpHannibal entry).
* FlashStep: She's so fast that she can appear next to her opponent, as if she teleported. When she's using Reilii, her movement is preceded by her body flickering like lightning; making it a literal "flash" step.
* ForeignFanservice: Yan-Min is a raven-haired Chinese beauty with a stunning figure, garbed in [[SexyBacklessOutfit a form-fitting backless]] qipao, and her Jingu just happens to be a twintailed lash. [[HelloNurse Nihao, Nurse!]]
* HairDecorations: She always wears a white cloth hair bun covering, slightly to the right near the back of her hair.
* KickChick: Seen during her battle against Azuki, which became a high-speed kickboxing match.
* LightningBruiser: [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/16/20/ Literally.]] With [[SuperMode "Reilii"]] (lit. "Thunder Roar") activated, she moves so fast that she literally becomes a streak of lightning and her attacks become devastating enough to [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/17/6/ even injure Azuki.]] Yan-Min's reflexes also greatly enhanced, [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/17/8/ becoming instantaneous.]]
* LovelyAngels: With Demitra (see the related entry in her section).
* NervesOfSteel: As seen during her introduction, ''do not'' interrupt her while she's on the job, and don't think waving a shotgun in her face is gonna faze her (seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta0_WDww5gw @1:57-2:14]]).
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Noted in the CombatPragmatist entry.
* NotSoDifferent: Despite their differences, she and Azuki share a quite a bit in common. They're both combat specialists at their respective schools ([[KickChick specializing in kicks]]), both are remarkably strong, equally resilient, and excel in speed. Plus, they're both proud and each has a competitive streak a mile wide.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: It's implicit, but apparent in regard to her rivalry with Azuki. For example, when Azuki and Kinua were competing during gym class, Yan-Min joined the competition [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/9/7/ so as not to be left out.]] Likewise, she'd been about to quit the pool battle, until Yuuka lied by saying she was tied with Azuki for popularity. Despite Yan-Min's claim to the contrary, she took [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/10/15/ smug satisfaction]] in believing she wasn't ranked below her.
* RapunzelHair: Her sidetail is long enough to reach her waist.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivered to Takeru while strangling the life out of him:
-->'''Yan-Min: (indignant)''' "Girls? I've heard about this, but it's worse than the rumors ne. You should make your misunderstandings average as well, Oyama Takeru!"
-->'''Takeru: (choking)''' "I'm... just... GHAAH!!"
-->'''Yan-Min:''' "It doesn't matter who it is. The ones on the battlefield fight risking their lives for many different reasons: [[TrueCompanions Azuki does it for her friends.]] [[PatrioticFervor I do it for where I am]] and [[DontYouDarePityMe for my pride.]] You, who insult by saying [[WomenAreDelicate "such things".]] '''[[ThisIsUnforgivable I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!!"]]'''
* RedBaron: Yan-Min is known as "Leifu", said to be, "As fast as lightning and fierce as a tiger".
* TheRival: Noted in the [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou Only One Allowed to Defeat You]] entry.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: She wears a short form-fitting qipao, with a low-cut back.
* ShockAndAwe: She can move at lightning speeds and channel it directly into her fists to greatly increase her striking power.
* ShutUpHannibal: Done to Takeru, when he made the mistake of going on his 'girls shouldn't fight' spiel, during her battle against Azuki. Yan-Min took it as an insult to both of them, [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/17/14/ causing her to become angry enough]] to pick him up by his throat and [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/17/15/ nearly strangle him to death.]] While telling him [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech exactly what she thought]] of his attitude.
* SmugSuper: As a member of an elite international organization, with exceptional physical prowess, Elemental power, and a Jingu whose power is said to be [[spoiler: [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/16/17/ on par with the original 8 Maken]]]] -- yeah, she's got an ego.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's the second tallest member of the group, being only an inch shorter than Demitra.
* SuperMode: She activates "Reilii" by fusing directly with her Jingu. As Celia points out, while in his state, all of Yan-Min's abilities far exceed normal human capability (noted in the LightningBruiser entry).
* SuperSpeed: Even without her Maken, Yan-Min is fast enough to leave afterimages while merely toying with the enemy, such as when she fought Kai Kuragasa. But when she's serious, she moves with such speed that her body transforms into a streak of lightning and, if need be, can further enhance her speed using "Reilii".
* VerbalTic: In the manga, she has a habit of ending certain words, or sentences with "-ne".
* WhipItGood: "Kinben" [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/16/15/ takes the form of]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/16/16/ a twin-tailed whip]], imbued with lightning Elemental properties. Though Inaho imagined her using it as a {{dominatrix}}!
* WorthyOpponent: To Azuki, who said she won't be satisfied until they've had a proper rematch.

[[folder:Aililu and Lilu Finian, aka 'The Twins']]
A childlike pair of identical twin sisters, who're so like-minded that they tend to speak and act in unison. They're also a pair of '''SS rank''' ability users, and are capable of creating high-level space/time barriers. Which places them at a level comparable to Martha Minerva and Himegami. But they'd much rather knit and silently fawn over cute objects.
----
* BarrierWarrior: They provide support for their teammates [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/15/ by casting]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/15/2/ barriers]], rather than engaging the enemy themselves. Their barriers are so advanced that they can suspend the flow of space-time within them. Thereby enabling the occupants to fight without fear of harming the surrounding environment. [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/24/21/ Once the barrier is lifted]], everything within it[[note]]including all injuries sustained while the barrier was active[[/note]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/24/25/ is fully restored to normal.]]
* CutenessProximity: Aililu and Lilu are just as prone to being subjected to it themselves, as they are to cause it in others - including Himegami, though she's too {{tsundere}} to admit it.
* [[TheCutie The Cuties]]: The students at Tenbi Academy [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/9/4/ took an immediate liking to them]], because of how [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/9/5/ utterly adorable they are.]] When it was time for them to return, they [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/25/12/ gave the twins two pair of mittens]] as a parting gift.
* ElegantGothicLolita: They each wear a maid headdress and frilled skirts with their uniform. Hikaru and the others likened them to a pair of dolls.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Which is how they [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/8/12/ introduced themselves.]] One will start, followed by the other, then they'll finish the last part in unison.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Aililu is the blonde one, Lilu's hair is black.
* LuminescentBlush: Whenever they see something cute, or if anyone's fawning over them, since they aren't used to receiving such attention. Their expressions remain deadpan... except for when the students at Tenbi [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/25/13/ saw them off.]]
* PsychicPowers: The Twins also have the ability to [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/20/2/ see and hear everything that takes place within their barrier.]] By placing his forehead to theirs, Akaya was able to keep tabs on the situation as it unfolded.
* SilentBob: For the most part.
* TheStoic: With rare exception, their expression and manner of speaking is almost always deadpan.
* WonderTwinPowers: They speak in unison when casting barriers, or cancelling them.

[[folder:Martha Minerva]]
A mysterious white-haired girl, whose eyes remain closed. Despite this, she's fully aware of her surroundings, due to her ability to perceive anything possessing Element. Minverva's abilities may possibly be well beyond even '''SS class''', according to Minori, which would make her the single most powerful character in the series. However, the strangest thing about her... is her fixation on other girls' underwear and breasts.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: Implied by her obsession with other girls' breasts and underwear. Her introduction scene in episode 7 also has her brag about all the tail she was gonna get at Tenbi.
* AdaptationDyeJob: In the manga, color images show Minerva's hair is white. The anime changes it to being sky blue.
* AuraVision: Minerva's so adept at sensing Element, that she's able to read people's emotions through it. When the girls were bathing, she sensed Haruko's relief that Inaho wasn't ready to confess her true feelings to Takeru yet. Moreover, she's one of the few that're capable of perceiving what Himegami actually looks like, since [[spoiler: her body is a metaphysical construct of pure Element]].
* BarrierWarrior: Using Aegis, she can create gates to other dimensions and move objects freely between them. As well as create barries, surpassing even the Twins' capabilities.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: According to Akaya, Minerva's power was without equal, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c022/13.html surpassing even Ouken Yamato's.]] Had he allowed her to fight Takeru and the others, they would've been outmatched. So he was surprised to see that [[spoiler: Himegami could match her]].
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Usui, due to their mutual interest in girls' underwear [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/12/8/ and perversion, in general.]] Later, Usui gives her [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall a DVD of the pool battle competition]] as a parting gift, prompting Akaya to joke that Minerva had [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/25/19/ found her soul mate.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Her introductory scene in episode 7 shows she owns the first three volumes of ''Maken-ki!'' ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta0_WDww5gw pause @2:15]])!
* CloudCuckoolander: After using her dimensional powers to steal the girls' panties, she proclaimed herself to be: [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/22/11/ "The one who rules over all underwear, 'The Master of Lingerie'".]] And petulantly insisted they address her as such, [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/22/12/ 'til Akaya made her knock it off.]]
* EyesAlwaysShut: For good reason (see PowerLimiter).
* GenreSavvy: Either [[PaintingTheMedium she's aware that]] [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/11/10/ she's a character]] in a harem series, or she reads a lot of harem manga. And given her eccentricities, both explanations are just as likely to be true.
* GoThroughMe: In chapter 24, when Himegami attempts to incinerate Akaya for [[spoiler: shooting Takeru]], Minerva comes to his defense [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/24/6/ by challenging her.]]
* MysteriousWaif: No one knows her place of origin, or the true extent of her Maken's ability, but she's undeniably the most powerful of the known ability users.
* MundaneUtility: The girl can create doorways to other dimensions and uses it for stealing other girls' underwear. The others can count themselves fortunate that she's [[CloudCuckoolander such a ditz.]]
* PantyShot: She unintentionally gave Takeru and Usui a pretty good look at hers, [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/11/6/ camel toe included.]] But she'd much rather be the one to do the honors, which she did twice to Haruko and Inaho.
* PantyThief: ...with the aid of dimensional powers, no less. But [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/24/29/ she forgot to give 'em back.]]
* PowerLimiter: Minerva eventually explains that the reason she keeps her eyes closed is to restrain her power. Once she opens them, [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c022/9.html it unseals a continuous stream of inexhaustible Element]], enabling her to open and close dimensional gateways anywhere in her field of vision, at will.
* SempaiKohai: During her stay at Tenbi, she spends time giving Kim drawing lessons.
* ThisCannotBe: She (and ''everyone else'', for that matter) was shitfaced upon seeing Minori [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/24/15/ physically rip apart one of her barriers.]] It shocked her enough to make her briefly forget that she was fighting Himegami.
-->'''Minerva: ([[JawDrop slack-jawed]])''' "WHAAAAAT?! She broke through it so easily, because of '''[[CharlesAtlasSuperpower THAT??]]'''"
* WhitehairedPrettyGirl: In the manga it's greyish-white.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Anime only.
