* SuperIntelligence: Negi's great strength later in the manga lies in his ability to rapidly learn and create new techniques and strategies. It's remarked that governments would love to sit him behind a desk to just work on magical theory all day.
* SuperMode: The base form of Magia Erebea gives him a 50% power boost before he even starts using the actual Magia Erebea abilities.

[[folder:Kagurazaka Asuna]]
[[quoteright:291:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_485.JPG]]

Asuna is a girl Negi speaks to on the first day, informing her that her love is going to end unrequited. After this charming start, he's asked by the principal to move into her room and after a bit of initial friction ends up as his protective big sister figure [[{{Tsundere}} among hints of other kinds of affection.]] She is fairly dim, but she's also a hard worker with a strong sense of responsibility. Though intellectually weak, she's physically superhuman even more magic enters the equation, capable of running as fast as a bicycle and having both sight and hearing well above that of a normal human.

She becomes his first Ministra Magi and possesses incredibly rare antimagic abilities that confuse others due to Asuna being an apparently ordinary middle school student. Her artifact is a large metal fan with properties suited for exorcism, though as she gains more control over her abilities it gradually gets replaced by her actual artifact, a massive sword with antimagic properties. Both are known as either the ''Ensis Exorcizans'' or the ''Hama no Tsurugi'' depending on reading.

Despite being supposedly ordinary, strange dreams and abilities hint that she is far from it, leaving her something of a mystery for most of the story to the reader.

* ActionGirl: She is the first to come to Negi's aid early in the series, and also the first to get a pactio.
* AmnesiacHero: From early on, it's hinted that Asuna isn't the normal schoolgirl she believes herself to be and has a mysterious past she can't remember.
* AntiMagic: She has the ability to cancel magic, which is initially assumed to be because of her contract with Negi. Though initially unpredictable, she eventually gets control of this and can extend it as a field, punching out 100% unbreakable seals and dispelling giant falling pillars with a wave of her sword. Magic Cancel is a rare ability, which causes no end of confusion to experts who wonder why a normal person like Asuna can use it. [[spoiler:However, the true nature of this ability is actually considerably more complex and even rarer, a throwback to the found of the Ostian dynasty and creator of the Magic World who used the same ability to create it. Properly speaking, it's known as the Magic of Creation and Destruction and is extremely potent.]]

* BookDumb: Her grades are so terrible that she is the one with the lowest scores out of all the Baka Rangers.
* BrokenBird: When she showed up in Mahora, she was an EmotionlessGirl that annoyed Ayaka with her blank expression, so she kicked her. [[spoiler:At that point, she had a very limited time of actually being a human, instead having been treated as a living weapon for a century or more.]]
* CharacterExaggeration: Asuna goes from being a regular {{Tsundere}}, having a job and more or less just trying to survive in the craziness around her in the manga and first anime series, to being completely nuts in Negima?!

* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:After she wakes up from sleeping for 130 years, Asuna finds herself alone in a strange time and place with all her friends gone. She at least hoped Negi (having a body like Evangeline's) would still be alive, but he died and after seeing all that her friends did in their lives while she was sleeping she breaks down in tears. However, Evangeline and Chao send her back in time and she reunites with her friends.]]
* FullFrontalAssault: After getting {{Clothing Damage}}d for the umpteenth time during the AggressiveNegotiations with Goedel. She's been stripped enough that she just ignores it, proves herself immune to DefeatByModesty and presses the attack. The viewers get a [[HandOrObjectUnderwear Godiva sword tassel]]. [[spoiler:Although that was actually Fake!Asuna/Shiori.]]
-->"Like I care!"
* GagBoobs: She gets them in one episode where the girls are using breast size for a contest to see who gets to share a room with Negi.
* GenericCuteness: Judging by the startled reactions of her friends at the ball and during her 'date' with Takamichi, Asuna is apparently supposed to look fairly plain most of the time.
* GirlishPigtails: Befitting her {{Tsundere}} personality. When the topic comes up, her friends note that its rather childish and that she looks better with her hair down.
* GodivaHair: Her hair reaches her waist, which really helps, since being around Negi has a tendency to suddenly leave you without clothing.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: A... bear?
* HairDecorations: She wears a pair of bells on her GirlishPigtails. They're also a MementoMacGuffin since she wears those bells because they came from Takamichi, not because she thinks they make her look cuter. And on the rare occasions that she takes them off everyone notes that she looks better without them.
* HeavySleeper: [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] in ''Anime/NegimaSecondSeason''. [[spoiler:Then the manga reveals that she slept for thirty more years to wake up to a world where the otherwise immortal Negi inexplicably died, only for Eva and Chao to return her back 130 years to a world identical to where she came from mere seconds after her departure. The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue reveals that her extended sleep was partially caused by a war on Mars in the 22nd century, of which Mana was a participant.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Chapter 284 showed the tail end of a week-long one. Fate didn't expect her to come out of it at all]].
* HomeRunHitter: Does this to Evangeline using a thrown boat as the bat in ''Negima!?''.
* HotForTeacher: Has a crush on Takahata-sensei.
* IAmWhatIAm: The most difficult mental issue she has is the [[spoiler:duality between who she was as Princess Asuna and who she is now as Asuna Kagurazaka]]. At the end of the Magic World arc, [[spoiler:she's at terms with both sides of herself, proclaiming herself a genuine magic princess as she fixes all the devastation wrought by Cosmo Entelechia.]]
* IAmWho: Asuna certainly isn't who she believes herself to be and she has a long forgotten past that is slowly hinted throughout the series. [[spoiler:She's actually a princess from the magic world who was used as a human weapon because of her AntiMagic powers.]]
* IdenticalStranger: She looks very similar to Negi's cousin Nekane.
* IdiotHair: It fits thanks to her being an IdiotHero.
* IdiotHero: It's pointed out more than once that she far more closely resembles the trope than Negi himself. Kotaro even compares her to Nagi due to her idiocy and determination.
* InelegantBlubbering: When things don't go well with Takamichi, Negi bumps into Asuna streaming tears and with snot running out of her nose. After this, she spends a few days moping in Eva's resort before getting over it.
* InstantExpert: Though she's nearly as dim as Negi is brilliant, she picks up fighting and even kanka almost as quickly as he does magic and martial arts. However, in her case it's because she already learned at least some of this stuff when she was a kid. Of course, she ''also'' performed kanka perfectly almost instantly as a child as well, though in that case it was due to [[spoiler:being 'empty' from having no life experience, social interaction or anything for over a hundred years while being used as some type of weapon.]]
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World has cat ears and a tail.
* KickChick: Negi even notes in his class rooster how she has a very powerful kick.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: She doesn't have any memories from before ten years ago [[spoiler:after Takamichi had her memory sealed on behalf of the dying Gateau Vanderburg.]]
* LethalChef: Briefly, in the anime; looked like an AlienLunch. ''Negima!?'' also gave us a glimpse of her cooking. She burned down the kitchen.
* LightningGlare: Frequently to Negi after he manages to upset her yet again.
* LikesOlderWomen: {{Gender Flip}}ped. She has a preference for older guys. Ayaka calls her an "Ojicon" because of it.
* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:She's part of the Ostian bloodline just like Negi and his mother, though where she fits on the family tree is rather unclear.]]
* MarilynManeuver: Does this once during the ''Pactio'' spell, [[PantyShot since there's wind blowing up]].
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: Right eye green, left eye blue. It's difficult to notice unless she's looking straight at the camera. She's definitely not normal either.
* {{Meido}}: During the TournamentArc, Asuna and Setsuna get pressganged into wearing maid outfits to appeal to the crowd.
* ModestyShorts: After GoingCommando in a skirt in Kyoto, this is a big issue for her.
* MysteriousPast: Especially when when she turns out to be [[OlderThanTheyLook far older than she looks]].
* MysticalWaif: She shows the canonical catatonic personality in flashbacks.
* NoSell: Her Magic Cancel stops ''any'' magic.
* NotAMorningPerson: She is known for being bad at mornings. She gets up early for her job during the week, but sleeps in late on the weekends.
* OlderSidekick: To Negi. He is only ten and she is a teenager.
* OlderThanSheLooks: Before too much time passes, it's clear that Asuna has a history she doesn't remember and is at least a little older than she appears. [[spoiler:She was used as a human weapon for at least a century, was involved in the War and only after that did she begin to age normally. Thus, she should be at least a hundred and thirty years old.]]
* OneHeadTaller: Than Negi. The romance is debatable, but when she hugs him during the Magic World reunion the effect is obvious.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Asuna appears to be a normal schoolgirl who just happens to get involved in magic because of Negi, but her AntiMagic powers and amnesia imply she's much more than that. [[spoiler:Turns out she's a princess from the Magic World.]]
* OutWithABang: PG version, after a WorldTree-controlled Negi catches her in a deep kiss that ends after she's passed out from lack of oxygen.
* OverlyLongName: Her full name is very long, but most people don't know it. [[spoiler:Her full name, Asuna Vesperina Theotanasia Entheofushia, notes her status as an imperial princess of the Ostian bloodline.]]
* PaperFanOfDoom: The weaker form of her pactio artifact is a fan that cancels all summons and dispels some forms of magic.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:Her AntiMagic actually caused a FloatingContinent to crash and nearly destroyed the entire Magic World.]]
* PhlebotinumGirl: She was used as a human weapon at some point, but the story doesn't say how at the time. [[spoiler:Her antimagic abilities are actually a little more extensive than that and allow her to be used as a catalyst for a ritual that could destroy the entire magic world. On a smaller scale, they're still quite potent.]]
* PluckyGirl: She's very brave and never gives up.
* PrecociousCrush: She's had a crush on Takamichi for a few years now. She's turned down not necessarily because Takamichi doesn't like her (though he clearly doesn't) but because he feels he's unworthy of love in the first place.
* PutOnABus: She's captured and disappears from the story for about fifty chapters, [[spoiler:but she's replaced by a perfect copy during that time.]]
* RagsToRoyalty: She's just a normal middle schooler, [[spoiler:who is actually the last valid descendant of the Ostian bloodline. Negi is another, but his mother was imprisoned as a scapegoat, so Asuna is apparently considered the heir to the line.]]
* RapunzelHair: Even though she wears it in GirlishPigtails, her hair reaches her knees.
* RedHeadedHeroine: A heroic FieryRedhead.
* RipVanWinkle: [[spoiler:For Negi's plan to save the magic world to succeed, she has to be put into stasis for a century. She oversleeps by another thirty years. If she hadn't, she could have at least met Ayaka again.]]
* SacredFirstKiss: Initially reluctant to make a Pactio for this reason. Later she claims it doesn't count because it was a Pactio, not a ''real'' kiss. Judging by the way everyone else in the story views Pactios the only one she's fooling is herself.
* SharedUnusualTrait: She and Princess Arika have heterochromia. [[spoiler:They have a common ancestor in the Lifemaker.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: She receives several reactions from her classmates after seeing her actually taking care of her appearance such as at the ball.
* ShipperOnDeck: She supports Konoka and Setsuna's relationship and enjoys teasing the latter about it.
* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:When her memories are forcibly returned to her, her former self as Princess Asuna comes into conflict with her Asuna Kagurazaka self and nearly destroys it. She ends up accepting both sides of herself, though the Kagurazaka personality is the one she actually displays.]]
* SuperSenses: Asuna possesses both super sight and super hearing.
* SuperSpeed: Without using any magic she can run as fast as a professional bike.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Not only is she related to magic, [[spoiler:she's flat out a magical princess.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Her first level in badass was her pactio, her second was in learning kanka and finally after entering the magical world her growth rate skyrocketed [[spoiler:due to subconsciously remembering how to fight]] and ended up about on par with Setsuna [[spoiler:before being captured]].
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Flashbacks show that Asuna originally was a smart-mouthed EmotionlessGirl, but frequent, violent interactions with Ayaka turned her into the cheerful FieryRedhead {{Tsundere}} of today.
* {{Tsundere}}: Aggresive type, though not as exaggerated as [[LoveHina Naru]]. As Negi himself describes her, Asuna is "overbearing, crude and violent", but an incredibly kind and caring CoolBigSis.
* UnskilledButStrong: In sheer specs, she's both quite powerful and fast, but isn't a trained fighter like Kaede or Setsuna. Thus, by the early parts of the Magic World, she appears to be almost on par with Setsuna, supposedly the strongest of Negi's ministra and a skilled shinmeiryu swordsman, simply by virtue of sheer speed and power. [[spoiler:By the ''end'' of the Magic World arc, she appears to be strong enough to actually work as Negi's partner while again showing no real sign of technique.]] Anti magic, of course, adds a great deal of utility to certain possible fights.
* YouCantFightFate: In the first anime's alternate story, Asuna was doomed to die on her 14th birthday due to a DealWithTheDevil so the demons would stop following her and bringing destruction wherever she went. Nagi attempted to save her and was promptly crushed under a bridge. She has to die and comes back in time to break the deal.
* ZettaiRyouiki: [[RankInflation Grade S]]!

[[folder:Sakurazaki Setsuna]]
[[quoteright:292:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2897.JPG]]

Setsuna is a swordsman and exorcist who was friends with Konoka when they were both young. However, she was also supposed to be her bodyguard and after failing to protect her she started to grow distant from Konoka, believing she could guard her better from the shadows. As such, the relationship between them starts strained and Setsuna tends to be very quiet and aloof from the rest of the cast. However, after the relationship between them is mended she starts becoming friends [[ShipTease and possibly more]] with Konoka once more, as well as getting along quite well with Asuna.

Setsuna practices the Shinmeiryuu sword style, a set of techniques designed to allow practitioners to combat demons and spirits. She herself is [[HalfHumanHybrid half]] youkai and an outcast of the Tengu tribe, who feared her white wings, implied to be due to albinism. Though she has a complex about revealing her wings and is further rarely able to do so in public, they give her the ability to fly and are quite strong in combat. Further, she pactios with Negi early on, granting the artifact ''Sica Shishikushiro'', a wakizashi (short sword) that can have up to 16 flying duplicates using her mental power.

->'''Voiced by:''' YuuKobayashi (Japanese), Dana Schultes (English, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!''), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English, ''Negima!?'')
----
* ActionGirl: Fights almost as much as Asuna.
* {{Adorkable}}: Can act like this when her cool demeanor flies out the window in the presence of her [[BodyguardCrush Ojou-sama]].
* AesopAmnesia: After seemingly getting over her self-image issues, she goes right back to being emo a few chapters later. Multiple times.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Setsuna's white wings mark her as an outcast of her species; she even was exiled by her tribe because of it. Viewing herself as an outcast is still an issue for her.
* BadassAdorable: She's one of the top three or four fighters in the group, but contrasting the tall and imposing Kaede she's small and waifish.
* BadassInANiceSuit: During the ball she wears a nice suit rather than a dress. When it's pointed out, she says it's easier to move in. A valid concern at the time.
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' mess with Konoka.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: She fooled everyone that didn't know her while in her male period clothes during her NotADate with Konoka at the cinema town. Plus, they ''did'' [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer make her look fetching]].
* BigDamnKiss: Her Pactio with [[spoiler:Konoka]]. According to Chamo they even broke the length record.
* BigWhat: PlayedForLaughs. When Rakan revealed his new name for the ''[[SwordBeam Zanmaken: Ni No Tachi]]'' [[spoiler:[[ShipperOnDeck (In-Celebration-Of-My-First-Kiss-With-Ojou-Sama Special)]], she bellowed one out of embarrassment.
* BodyguardCrush: She is very devoted to Konoka. As early as post Kyoto the romance starts getting teased at.
* ButNowIMustGo: At the end of the Kyoto arc, she tries to run away after revealing herself as a half-Tengu to Negi and co., but gets a lecture from Negi and decides to stay by Konoka's side.
* CantBatheWithoutAWeapon: She bathes with her demon-hunting sword.
* ChekhovsGunman: Akamatsu kept her OutOfFocus until the [[ClassTrip Kyoto arc]]; Negi once referred to her as one of the students he'd like to get to know better. Needless to say, she becomes one of Ala Alba's most trusted fighters.
* CherryBlossomGirl: Her family name contains Sakura, her attacks sometimes have a cherry blossom theme and she at least looks like a YamatoNadeshiko in universe.
* TheComicallySerious: Early in the series, her deadpan attitude comes off as funny in comical situations. It stops once she becomes more relaxed and easily flustered. In the anime ''Negima?!'', most of her funny moments come from her taking everything far too seriously.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Setsuna has a low and powerful voice for such a slender and petite woman, as befits a tough swordswoman. This also extends to the fact that [[{{Bifauxnen}} she can pass for a male]].
* CovertPervert: While detailing Asuna's abilities on a diagram featuring a [[BarbieDollAnatomy naked]] Asuna, she mentions her AntiMagic and her SuperSpeed... and then notes "Bust: Not bad", as well as a reference to Asuna's lack of hair anywhere aside from her scalp. Later, Zazie shows Negi Setsuna's "perfect world" [[spoiler:in the [[LotusEaterMachine Cosmo Entelechia dream world]]]] and apologizes for it being so perverse: Konoka making Setsuna breakfast... while wearing a NakedApron. And later, Setsuna concludes that the best future for her is finally having sex with Konoka.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was exiled from her tribe due to her pure-white wings, which were considered to be a bad omen as she was born into the bird tribe of demons.
* DatePeepers: Joins the other girls watching Negi and Nodoka.
* DeathGlare: Setsuna will give a good one of these to anyone who threatens Konoka.
* DemonSlayer: Setsuna's style of combat was developed specifically to exorcise demons by targeting them instead of the person they were inhabiting.
* DualWielding: She occasionally uses the massive Yuunagi in one hand and either its scabbard or Sica Shishikushiro on the other.
* DyeOrDie: It's implied that she is an [[HeroicAlbino albino]], but she uses hair dye and colored contacts to live in normal society after being exiled her from tribe.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Besides being paired off with Konoka and getting Tsukuyomi's [[PsychoLesbian psychotic attraction]], Setsuna gains the admiration of many girls while wearing a {{Bifauxnen}} outfit.
* TheExile: She was exiled from the crow demon tribe for being a white-feathered half-demon.
* FailureKnight: During several years, she decided to protect Konoka from afar without speaking a word to her due to feeling ashamed of her failure to save Konoka from almost drowning when they were kids. All Konoka wanted was to be friends with Setsuna again.
* FantasticArousal: She appears to consider grooming her wings an intimate act, though since she uses them as shields or weapons they must be fairly insensitive.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her hair, shaped like a single wing, possibly alluding to her halfling heritage.
* FreakinessShame: She's uncomfortable about her wings and half demon heritage. Nobody else minds.
--->'''Setsuna:''' "This is my true form. I'm a monster, just like them. Don't misunderstand, my desire to protect Oujo-sama is real! I've just kept this a secret... because I was afraid she would hate me in this ugly form..."\\
'''Asuna:''' "What are you talking about? I think they're cool!"
* HalfHumanHybrid: A half bird-demon.
* HeroicAlbino: Implied. Eva mentions that she dyes her hair, and asks if she's wearing contacts.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Due to feeling she isn't strong enough to properly protect Konoka, Setsuna has some serious self-worth issues and tends to beat herself up every time she feels she has failed as a warrior, just like when Tsukuyomi nearly defeats her.
* HunterOfHerOwnKind: While she is a half demon herself, Setsuna uses a style of combat that was developed specifically to battle demons.
* IAmWhatIAm: She's ashamed of her white wings, which the tengu believe means she's a sign of ill omen. Her friends tell her it makes her look like an angel and she relaxes about it in front of them, though Eva shows it's still a bit of a sore spot.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Played with. Admits to feeling some attraction towards teenaged Negi, but is pretty clearly a lesbian paired off with Konoka and expressing some attraction towards Asuna.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Shinmeiryuu-style, which allows her to cut twenty-foot balls of solid ice and a HumongousMecha in half.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She's rather socially dense, largely as a result of her having very strong ideas regarding social class. While most people don't seem to be bothered by her formality, those with a perceived higher status tend to get the princess treatment, which they hate. For example, she keeps referring to Konoka as ojou-sama/milady despite Konoka always telling her to use her name and near the end of the manga she even makes Asuna cry by acting like a servant instead of as one of Asuna's closest friends after Asuna is revealed to be [[spoiler:a princess]]. The reaction was exaggerated somewhat to make Setsuna cut it out ''right this instant'', but only a little.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Through the entirety of the manga, she always feels unworthy of Konoka for one reason or the other.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World and her outfit from [[spoiler:her Pactio with Konoka]] have cat ears.
* LadyOfWar: At her best, she looks very graceful while she uses her sword.
* LettingHerHairDown: She starts to stop wearing her hair in a {{Samurai}} style side-pony tail in the later chapters once she starts growing out of her intensely serious, near-deadpan demeanor.
* LonerTurnedFriend: Starts out as a loner FailureKnight, but eventually opens up and becomes close friends with Asuna and Negi.
* LuminescentBlush: Whenever the conversation turns to her relationship with Konoka, she goes bright pink.
* MagicKnight: Chamo calls Setsuna by the trope name after he sees her using spell tags to form a defense.
* MagicPants: Appears to go between releasing her wings by [[SexyBacklessOutfit lifting the back of her shirt]] to having them appear directly through the cloth without tearing.
* MarriedToTheJob: She's very dedicated to her job as a bodyguard and seems to be unable to think of herself as something more than that, which usually makes it hard for her and Konoka to have a normal relationship.
* {{Meido}}: During the TournamentArc, Setsuna and Asuna get pressganged into wearing maid outfits to appeal to the crowd. Also [[spoiler:her outfit from her Pactio with Konoka]].
* MindControlEyes: During her BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind.
* ModestyShorts: She wears cycling shorts under her skirt.
* MyGreatestFailure: Setsuna's initial FailureKnight nature has its roots in an incident where she tried to save Konoka from drowning, fell in herself, and both were rescued by someone else. As a result, Setsuna constantly tries to train harder so it won't happen again.
* PerpetualMolt: Setsuna always leaves a dramatic shower of feathers behind whenever she spreads her wings.
* ThePioneer: [[spoiler:According to the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, she became one of the most famous first-generation pilots of the space age.]]
* PlayboyBunny: During the early Mahorafest arc, she gets dragged into a playboy bunny outfit. Chao snickers at her when she tries to use a cool line.
* PowerGivesYouWings: In ''Negima!?'' her wings come from her pactio card.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: She is considered beautiful because of her incredibly pale skin and raven-black hair. However, it's implied that she actually has [[HeroicAlbino white hair]].
* {{Sarashi}}: A trained swordswoman who wears the sarashi bra version.
* SchoolgirlLesbians: The subtext of her relationship with Konoka just kept getting more and more obvious, leading all the way to [[spoiler:the Pactio with one of the longest kisses ever]], then continues getting more blatant with Setsuna's CovertPervert fantasy sequences. [[TransparentCloset You're not fooling anyone there, Setsuna.]] This becomes MORE obvious in Negima?! and is the subject of several eyecatches.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: She is almost always seen wearing her school uniform.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: The traditional clothes of her people.
* SlipknotPonytail: When Chao wants to show that Setsuna can't match her, she casually yanks off her hair band before Setsuna even notices.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She tries to show herself as a cold and levelheaded swordswoman, but she is actually very kind and caring. Konoka knows it and usually tries to bring out her warmer side.
* SuperSenses: Setsuna's Ki allows her to at least triple her senses.
* ThunderShock: At one point she makes a terrible joke and has to apologize for it after the thunder disappears.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's mostly a serious, samurai-like ActionGirl and seems to feel comfortable to wear masculine clothing on occasion, but she still has her has her bouts of girliness.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Started as cold as ice due to seeing herself as a FailureKnight, but after the events of the Kyoto Arc, she opened up a lot more and became friendlier. Lampshaded by Evangeline during their match in the Mahora Festival TournamentArc.
* TransparentCloset: Setsuna is so obviously lesbian for her "{{Ojou}}-sama" Konoka that practically everyone knows it despite her frequent denials.
* TsurimeEyes: She had much sharper eyes early on as a way to mark her as the serious and distant ActionGirl obsessed with maintaining her abilities as a swordswoman she was at the beginning and to contrast Konoka's TaremeEyes. When she starts letting her emotions out, they become noticeably rounder.
* WaifFu: She has a thin build and is quite short, but she's quite strong. However, she favors skill based techniques rather than strength.
* WingedHumanoid: Due to being a half bird-demon, Setsuna has a pair of wings that she can summon at will. Occasionally, Setsuna will have her wings in a cute little 'cupid' form, although this might just be for laughs.
* WingPull: During the end of the Kyoto trip Setsuna was forced to reveal the wings she normally keeps hidden.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Chamo thought she ''looked'' like one at first. She's not even close, though.

[[folder:Hasegawa Chisame]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2398.JPG]]

The only character without a WeirdnessCensor, Chisame was introduced as a strange girl with a [[LivingADoubleLife double life]] -- a grumpy loner at school, but also internet idol "Chiu" at home. Her initial function was to [[MetaGuy snark about the implausibility]] of the situations she finds herself roped in, and initially tries [[AgentScully to deny or devise a mundane explanation]] for the supernatural events she witness, until Chachamaru confirms that she is indeed a robot, that Negi is also a powerful mage, and that she stumbled upon a plot to reveal magic to the world. Chisame thus gets involved in the plot to help maintain the life she's familiar with.

->'''Voiced by:''' Yumi Shimura (Japanese) and Creator/CaitlinGlass (English)
----
* ActionSurvivor: She's a relatively normal girl who's forced into the magical world to survive on her own, which she manages with Negi's help.
* ApathyKilledTheCat: Played with. She seems like she's trying to avoid how things work, but at the same time she's the only one who actually seems to think it matters.
* ButtMonkey: Bad things just happen to her, though it's rarely serious.
* CantStayNormal: A more reluctant example, having been metaphorically dragged down to paranormal kicking and screaming before leaping out to gasp for air, only to discover that air is now too easy and boring, and therefore ending up in a combination of being dragged down again and saying "the hell with it".
* CosplayOtakuGirl: The first time she's a focus character, she was dressing up in various costumes for her website.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Yue, Chisame had a tendency early on to lampshade the absurdity of the situation. Unlike Yue, she really grew into the role rather than slowly losing it. This is about ten times funnier when she's in her Chiu outfit.
* TheDragAlong: Post Mahorafest she wanted to stay by herself and keep out of the group, but Chachamaru always dragged her along. When Chachamaru apparently briefly quits it, she gets bored and comes along voluntarily.
* {{Expy}}: Like Asuna, Akamatsu considers her an expy of Naru from ''LoveHina'', though of 'nerdy Naru' as opposed to Asuna's 'protective Naru.'
* GenericCuteness: She's ''supposed'' to have bad skin and pimples, but it doesn't show. Of course, the only one who actually claims that is herself, and she has notably low self esteem concerning her looks.
* GenreSavvy: While it doesn't help her much, she often predicts how events will turn sour for her. As the resident MetaGirl, she also often points tropes out.
* GirlishPigtails: In her child form.
* GreenEyedMonster: She often gets jealous when seeing Negi with other girls.
* {{Hikikomori}}: Left to her own devices she stays inside all day on the internet, though she only gets angry rather than anxious if taken out. [[spoiler:Gets worse post university.]]
* IdiotHair: She has one and she's the only class member without a WeirdnessCensor.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Frequently loudly moans about how she wants all the magic to go away and leave her alone [[spoiler:but she's lying; She's perfectly content with how involved she is.]]
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Cat ears and a tail in the Magic World.
* LittleMissSnarker: Thanks to some liberal use of age changing pills, she looks a 10 year old girl and is still as snarky as ever.
* LivingADoubleLife: A grumpy loner at school and the internet idol "Chiu" at home.
* MetaGal: She knows all about how fantasy stories go, which really helps her keep up with everything going on.
* NerdGlasses: She doesn't actually need them, but likes to hide behind them.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Most notably when [[spoiler: Poyo's LotusEaterMachine]] proves that she's the happiest and most satisfied with living in a FantasyKitchenSink of anyone in the group.
* OnlySaneWoman: Or so she wants to be. Negi seems to think so, considering he's more or less appointed her as his [[LizLemonJob "voice of reason"]], at least until [[spoiler:they rescue Asuna]].
* PlayboyBunny: One of Chiu's costumes.
* PlayfulHacker: Falls under this when she's not being the MetaGal.
* ProudToBeAGeek: Even as grumpy as she is, she loves being a geek.
* PurelyAestheticGlasses: She actually has ''better'' than average vision, and uses the glasses to hide behind.
* RapunzelHair: It reaches her waist.
* RefusalOfTheCall: She fights to get away from the weirdness, at first.
* TheSnarkKnight: ''Extremely'' distant and snarky when formally introduced. Her attitude gradually toned down quite a bit as she integrated into the central cast, but she still qualifies.
* StraightMan: One of the most normal people in the series. Or at least, the only one who seems to notice how crazy everything is. She even points out the weirdness of her class in her focus episode in the anime.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Acts as one for Asuna during the Mundus Magicus arc before Negi meets up with her again. After that she shifts roles slightly into more of an adviser rather than directly limiting his actions. Lampshaded by Jack.
* {{Technopath}}: Chisame's artifact allows a mental internet link.
* TechnoWizard: Becomes one after her pactio.
* TemptingFate: She shouldn't have joked about fighting someone in the middle of a conspiracy. Or about making a Pactio.
* {{Tsundere}}: Described as a borderline case by Akamatsu. She actually likes the Ala Alba group, Chachamaru and Negi quite a bit, but since she's naturally abrasive she hates to show it. She also can get even more violent than Asuna when it comes to Negi.
* {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs, but during her focus chapter post-Mundus Magicus she was talking about pulling an "IfICantHaveYou" on Negi.
--> '''Chisame:''' "Oh yeah, you're gonna get stabbed and killed one day! No, I'm going to stab you and then I'll die too."

[[folder:Inugami Kotarō]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00228867_2235.jpg]]

Negi's [[FireForgedFriends best friend]] and [[TheRival rival]] ever since he got [[DefeatMeansFriendship pummelled by him]] during the Kyoto ClassTrip. In many ways, he's a textbook {{shonen}} action protagonist, and often contrasted to Negi, to whom he sometimes (futilely) tries teaching how to act like a [[IdiotHero brash and overconfident]] hero rather than a meek and [[{{Keigo}} polite]] BadassBookworm. Kotaro is still in the 'girls have cooties' stage of development, though Chizuru and Natsumi become surrogate older sisters for him.

As he's [[HalfHumanHybrid Half]]-[[{{Inugami}} Dog Demon]], he can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting change shape]]. Usually, he looks human, except for [[LittleBitBeastly his ears and tail]], but can transform into a giant wolf-like dog or [[WolfMan something in between]]. He favors pure hand to hand combat, but also has the ability to control dog familiars and shadows.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue (Japanese)
----
* AdaptedOut: Didn't appear in the anime until the new OAD series.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Because of being a half youkai, he was an outcast of both human and youkai tribes. This makes him value both his friendship with Negi, and living with Chizuru and Natsumi, as they become the only true friends or family he's ever had.
* AnimalStereotypes: He styles himself as a [[IWorkAlone lone wolf]], but often lapses into [[IncrediblyLamePun doggishness]] and ends up being "domesticated" by Chizuru and Natsumi.
* {{Animorphism}}: Puppy when powers sealed, giant wolf when fully released.
* BattleAura: When unleashing his Shadow Hounds.
* BigEater: He eats a lot.
* BishieSparkle: In his teenaged form.
* {{Bishonen}}: His teenage form, much like Negi.
* BloodKnight: He loves fighting, though mostly because, as he admits, fighting is really the only thing he knows.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's rough and loud, but friendly to his allies.
* BrattyHalfPint: He's portrayed as a loud, overconfident, immature and troublesome kid, especially in his earlier appearances. This is why [[{{Shotacon}} Ayaka]] can't stand him. Some CharacterDevelopment allows him to become more mature.
* CanisMajor: His strongest form Kuon Eisou, in which he completely transforms into a wolf beast.
* CastingAShadow: He has the ability to summon vast swarms of autonomous spirit wolves made of darkness/shadow.
* ChasteHero: Just like Negi, he's oblivious to the romance thing because he hasn't even hit puberty yet.
* ChickMagnet: He attracts nearly as many ladies as Negi at the ball.
* CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: Carries Asuna's {{BFS}} between his teeth in the Magic World tournament. Not that he had much of a choice since [[spoiler:he had transformed into his monster wolf form]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: Post-HeelFaceTurn since his secondary skillset is shadow based KiAttacks.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Right before [[spoiler:their Pactio]], Kotaro tells Natsumi he will protect her because she's like family to him.
* {{Expy}}: By WordOfGod and obvious character design, he's a clear expy of Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'s eponymous character.
* GirlsHaveCooties: Plays this fairly straight (especially the romance thing), with a few exceptions in his adoptive sisters and girls who can fight. That said, he still thinks kissing is gross.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A Half-Dog Demon.
* HarbingerOfImpendingDoom: He returns after the Kyoto arc by being found injured by Chizuru and Natsumi.
* HealingFactor: He explains it as an "ability of the Inugami clan". It's not Wolverine-class, but he's taken multiple swords to the chest and recovered.
* HeelFaceTurn: He first appeared as one of [[StarterVillain Chigusa's lackeys]].
* HotBlooded: He is much more of a classic shounen protagonist than Negi himself.
* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: During the tournament finals, Kotaro gets the unfortunate role of punching bag while Negi sets up for the finishing techniques. The mauling he gets is quite brutal.
* IdiotHero: A proud and acknowledged one.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He hurts Natsumi's feelings without realizing it when [[spoiler:he says that having to form a Pactio with her is gross. After a series of misunderstandings, he explains to her that he meant that [[GirlsHaveCooties he thinks kissing is gross]], not kissing her in particular.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rough, likes to fight and is much less of an overall NiceGuy than Negi, but still a good guy.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: He speaks with this kind of accent.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: He has dog ears and a tail.
* TheLancer: Contrasting Negi, he's much more aggressive and impulsive, though he's still the closest thing Negi has to a partner after Asuna.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Between Kyoto and Graf Wilhelm, his memory is briefly wiped to prevent him leaking information.
* LimitedWardrobe: He always wears the same casual attire.
* LonerTurnedFriend: Kotaro never had any friends before meeting Negi.
* MagicPants: His pants remain perfectly intact as he transforms into his beast form.
* MeaningfulName: "Inugami" means "dog spirit".
* MonsterRoommate: Chizuru and Natsumi find an abandoned puppy, which turns into a little boy with a tail and sharp claws. They basically adopt him.
* MrFanservice: What else do you call wearing a black leather jacket, black leather pants, sneakers and no shirt paired with said jacket?
* NoSocialSkills: Having been abandoned as a child and spent his whole life doing anything normal besides training to fight, Kotaro doesn't know how to socialize with people very well.
* ObliviousToLove: He doesn't understand why Natsumi has {{Luminescent Blush}}es and shows {{Tsundere}} tendencies when he's around her.
* OlderAlterEgo: His teenaged form "Kojirou".
* TheRival: To Negi.
* SarcasticDevotee: He always insults Negi, but he is also one of his most loyal friends.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Explicitly states that his school uniform is his battle garb.
* SexierAlterEgo: His teenaged form "Kojirou" can be quite charming in a bad boy sort of way. Natsumi gets really flustered around him and even tends to forget his real age.
* ShonenHair: He has spiky black hair like the stereotypical shounen protagonist.
* ShortHairWithTail: He has a tail tied at the nape of his neck coming from his ShonenHair.
* StreetUrchin: His backstory.
* TastesLikeFriendship: Kotaro is first greeted by Chizuru and Natsumi with a homecooked meal (after an appetizer of MarshmallowHell); his constant complimenting of Chizuru's cooking pretty much seals it.
* WalkingTheEarth: At least seven years after Class 3-A's graduation, he simply ran off for some "ninja training". [[spoiler:Natsumi would follow suit, and after years of BelligerentSexualTension, they finally marry.]]
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: He even asks IsItSomethingYouEat. By the ball he acknowledges familial love.
* WouldntHitAGirl: It's actually presented as a deeply stupid comportment, and several of the {{Action Girl}}s like Kaede have tried to ''literally'' beat it out of him.

[[folder:Miyazaki Nodoka]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_9591.JPG]]

Nodoka is a quiet and seemingly shy girl in the Library Exploration Club. She quickly develops a crush on Negi and forms a pactio during the Kyoto arc, gaining an artifact that allows her to read minds, which she uses to help acquire information for the group. Despite her ShrinkingViolet attitude, she's actually quite bold when it comes to pursuing Negi. She's normally associated with her club mates and close friends Yue and Haruna.

->'''Voiced by:''' MamikoNoto (Japanese) and Creator/LeahClark (English)
----
* ACupAngst: She laments her small bust size once.
* ApologisesALot: Especially when she's either thinking an improper thought, or using her mind-reading ability in a diabolical manner (what else to be expected from a ShrinkingViolet?)
* CovertPervert: Despite her looks and usual personality, her subconscious tends to have some rather filthy fantasies, up to and including devising a kind of [[ThreesomeSubtext menage a trois]] as a solution to her LoveTriangle with Yue; thanks to Diarium Ejus, she is aware of and mortified by her subconscious' rather direct approaches to such things. And so is everybody who was reading over her shoulder.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and eyes.
* CuteBookworm: She's shy, quiet and is part of a club devoted to exploring the library.
* DesignatedVictim: During the Magic World, she's first attacked by bounty hunters to lure out Kaede and Setsuna and later Shirabe, Fate and Dynamis all make attempts to eliminate her due to her mind reading artifact.
* DoesNotLikeMen: In the anime she had a level of androphobia.
* DoggedNiceGirl: In fact, Nodoka was the ''first'' girl in the class to confess her feelings to Negi all the way back in the Kyoto arc.
* {{Expy}}: She's clearly one to Akamatsu's earlier character, [[Manga/LoveHina Shinobu Maehara]]. They look extremely similar and have the same shy, quiet attitude. Both are also know to be {{Covert Pervert}}s.
* HeroicBSOD: After seeing [[spoiler:Craig and Aisha get erased from existence]] in front of her her mind shuts down and Asakura is seemingly left alone desperately trying to think of a way out. She quickly recovers, however, and [[spoiler:steals Dynamis' Grandmaster Key.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Not that good at receiving praise, even if it was well-earned.
* HiddenEyes: She started with [[BlindingBangs very long bangs obscuring her eyes]], to highlight her terminal shyness. As her shyness subsided, she [[PeekABangs first became cyclopean]] then was drawn normally.
* IdiotHair: She has one.
* InSeriesNickname: "Hon'ya", Japanese for "Bookstore" or potentially Bookstore keeper. The English translation at first [[InconsistentDub jumped back and forth]] between "Librarian", "Bookshop", and variants thereof before eventually settling on the literal translation, "Bookstore". It can also mean "bookworm" (the "ya" being sometimes indicative of a character trait or an deep interest in something).
* LivingLieDetector: Diarium Ejus can read minds with a great deal of detail, so in situations where she's safe from retaliation it makes her excellent at information recovery with no chance of misinformation.
* {{Munchkin}}: After being separated from the group in Mundus Magicus she joined a group of treasure hunters. She eschews any valuable treasure, instead aiming for ''Comptina Daemonia'' and ''Auris Recitans''. These items' powers combine with her Diarium Ejus to make it useful in real time instead of having to rely on the target willingly giving up their name and letting Nodoka sit down and read.
* NiceGirl: She's gentle and supportive even of her love rivals.
* PeekABangs: After opening up a little her eyes begin appearing more and more until finally the bangs essentially vanish.
* PluckyGirl: Negi getting his ass kicked by Fate? She gets Kotaro to teleport her in right next to Fate to figure out his plan. [[spoiler:Friends get erased from existence right in front of her]]? Panic for a few seconds, then [[spoiler:read his mind, steal his key and teleport to safety with critical information.]] Just because she's quiet doesn't mean she's a coward.
* ShrinkingViolet: Subverted. She's quite shy, but it's note that she's actually very assertive when it comes to pursuing Negi including a quick confession and getting a date in during Mahorafest. There's a reason her Pactio card lists "courage" as her virtue.
* WeakButSkilled: She has no combat abilities, very little magic, and effectively no experience. She does, however, have a mind reading artifact that allows her exploit an enemy's weak points in order to avoid their attacks despite being far slower and weaker than they are.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple, to be precise. (becomes blue in Negima?! though)

[[folder:Ayase Yue]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_1503.JPG]]

Yue is an [[TeenGenius extremely intelligent]] but cynical girl with [[BrilliantButLazy demotivation]] issues stemming from [[ParentalAbandonment the death of her beloved grandfather]]. She's normally quiet, distant and snarky but very supportive of her friends and Nodoka in particular, who reached out to her when she was isolated. This has some emotional consequences for her when she ends up in a LoveTriangle with her and Negi, who is largely oblivious. Most people find it difficult to read her emotions.

Yue has a fair talent for magic, but her primary strength is her intellect and quick thinking skills, which allow her to quickly come up with strategies.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsukoKuwatani (Japanese) and Creator/BrinaPalencia (English)
----
* ACupAngst: From early on, she's sure she's unattractive with her childlike body.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She's not that strong even after the Ariadne arc, but she's ''very'' well prepared and thinks things through far further ahead than almost anyone else in the story, including preparing multiple contingency spells upon seeing [[spoiler:an electric Averruncus.]]
* BadassBack: Intercepts a shadow puppet coming up behind her with her massive Ariadne sword.
* BadassBookworm: She's tiny and looks weak, but is actually a part of the library exploration club and has some pretty good survival skills. She also ends up becoming a fairly competent mage.
* BookDumb: She's one of the smartest girls in the class, but she gets poor grades and is one of the baka rangers. It's implied on occasion though that she just doesn't like studying mundane subjects. Her position in the philosophy club might play a role in this.
* BrilliantButLazy: The reason for her poor grades is that for a TeenGenius, Yue is also ''extremely'' unmotivated and she refuses to put any effort in. Once she gets a goal she wants to accomplish, she can learn in mere weeks what takes others years.
* CannotSpitItOut: She spends a good two or three hundred chapters unable to admit her feelings to Negi for him despite everyone, even rivals, telling her to do it.
* CovertPervert: If [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg59/Xophien/KamoRankings.jpg Chamo's charts]] are accurate, her ero rating is slightly less than Nodoka, and on par with ''Evangeline''.
* CrazyPrepared: She predicted that [[spoiler:Quintum]] would leave her paralyzed and cast a paralysis release spell in herself. Furthermore, she had sixteen predictions of how [[spoiler:Quintum]] would take them down, and it's highly possible that she had prepared countermeasures for each outcome.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and eyes. In Negima?! she gains purple stockings.
* CuteWitch: Her pactio outfit puts her in a cute witch outfit complete with black witch's hat.
* DarkMagicalGirl: Yue rarely expresses real concern about the danger she's in, but at the thought she might have hurt or offended Nodoka she's reduced to tears. Nodoka was the first person to really approach her during an isolated time of her life.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's almost always very flat and emotionless looking to go along with her sarcastic side.
* DullSurprise: In ''Negima!?'', in one of the early omake segments with the Baka Rangers, while the Bakas make ready to fight their enemies, with Yue wanting to call their "giant robot", Makie is complaining that she [[RunningGag never got to do her introduction properly]]. The Baka Rangers agree to let her go first (she had been last every time). She tries to do so, [[BrickJoke and the giant robot foot comes down on Makie]], [[RunningGag interrupting her]].
-->'''Yue:''' [[DullSurprise Hey guys,]] [[CaptainObvious the robot's here]].
* EmotionlessGirl: Not really emotionless, but much more stoic than her friends, due to showing the same blasé face most of the time. It's lampshaded during the exploration of Library Island.
-->'''Konoka:''' You're really excited aren't you?\\
'''Yue:''' … hehe, does it show that much?\\
'''Asuna:''' (thinking) No it doesn't, she just has the same expression as usual…
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Haruna [[LampShadeHanging lampshades]] this trope after observing the [[ClingyJealousGirl various reactions]] of Yue's mini-harem to Yue. Needless to say, Yue isn't amused at all.
* {{Expy}}: On top of her basic physical design, she matches the [[TheQuietOne quiet]] [[SugarAndIcePersonality and reserved]] nature of VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'s Patchouli Knowledge. She's also a magical librarian and tends to wear the same outfits.
* ForeheadOfDoom: Her hair keeps her bangs out of her forehead, leaving a giant forehead for all to see.
* GagBoobs: In her Drama CD, Collette points out to Yue how small-chested she is and wants to fix it, prompting her, Emily, and Beatrix to "help" her. We all know how this ends.
* GenreSavvy: In the first season of the anime, Yue is the only person to figure out that the "Negi" who has her isn't really him. How can she tell? He starts showing more of an interest in her.
* HeroicBSOD: When Nodoka finds out about Yue's crush on Negi, Yue completely freaks out, believing Nodoka will hate her because of "betraying" her and says she would rather [[DrivenToSuicide "disappear"]] than losing Nodoka's friendship. She only calms down after Nodoka's GetAHoldOfYourselfMan.
* HighPressureEmotion: Twice in rapid succession after meeting up with Negi again, though one could say it's just one continuous moment. Doesn't mean it's not ridiculously cute and funny, especially given Collet and Emily's reactions.
* HotWitch: In the DistantFinale she's grown quite a bit taller and has more adult proportions.
* IdiotHair: Subverted. She has the hair and is one of the baka rangers, but that's actually due to nearly going out of her way to do badly.
* InSeriesNickname: Yuecchi, Yuekichi and a few more in regards to her height and [[ForeheadOfDoom large forehead]]. [[EmbarrassingNickname She isn't fond of the latter nicknames.]]
* InsecureLoveInterest: Yue spends a couple of chapters angsting about how she can't confess to Negi simply because she can't remember the reason why she fell for him in the first place. She also states that "nobody would lay eyes on this body".
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She only wishes for Negi to be happy with Nodoka, though Nodoka actually seems to get tired of her passivity.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Once she got in on the {{Masquerade}}.
* LittleMissBadass: Being vertically challenged doesn't prevent her from cementing her status on this page amongst her fellow {{Badass}} [[TrueCompanions Companions]] through a series of {{Awesome Moments}}.
* LittleMissSnarker: She's small and tends to be quietly sarcastic.
* LonerTurnedFriend: In her backstory, she used to be a loner, Nodoka was the first person to befriend her.
* MagicKnight: After her training at Ariadne she becomes a fairly good mage and acquires a massive sword.
* MarilynManeuver: Once did it to herself by accident when trying to demonstrate a spell.
* MatchmakerCrush: Tries to help Nodoka win over Negi, but then there's [[LoveTriangle the issue of her own growing feelings for him]].
* NewTransferStudent: Yue got to play the part for a while in the Magic World.
* OccultDetective: After the TimeSkip at the end of the manga.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She's fifteen, but looks only slightly older than Negi.
* ParentalAbandonment: The death of her beloved grandfather had such a negative effect on her that she shut herself off from the rest of the world. Since he's the only family member mentioned in Yue's life, it's possible he was the only one she had.
* ThePhilosopher: She normally averts the inaction bit of the trope, but it's noted that for all her high speed thinking she tends to get sidetracked and think about pointless things easily.
* PottyEmergency: Since she drinks juice so often she always seems to be in the bathroom. [[spoiler:Becomes a notable weak-point when consuming her large potion in 354.]] It's suggested that Yue wears more "adult" underwear as a result.
* PuttingOnMyThinkingCap: She seems to have the most going on in her head when she's calmly sipping an odd drink of some kind with a slightly blank look in her eyes.
* RapunzelHair: Down to her waist until the end of the manga.
* RedMage: While she primarily favors offensive magic, she also has a number of support and healing spells.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Her default pactio outfit gives her a long, open robe and a witch's hat.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: Her lack of height is the most emphasized in the main cast and she's also the most analytical and intelligent barring Negi himself.
* TheSnarkKnight: Initially a textbook example, complete with frequent thoughts of being "{{surrounded by idiots}}". These wanes later on, as she became part of the main group and developed a crush on Negi, though she's still quick to dissociate herself from the group whenever the insanity becomes overwhelming.
* TheStoic: She tends to be very calm and in control of her emotions [[NotSoStoic until she feels she's let Nodoka down]] or [[LuminescentBlush Negi gets too charming.]] She also doesn't handle [[spoiler:Emily's apparent death]] well either.
* StraightMan: In contrast to the quiet and polite Nodoka and the ridiculous Haruna, Yue tends to be quietly sarcastic.
* StrawNihilist: She pretty much felt that the world was without meaning following the death of her grandfather. Luckily, she got better when she befriended Nodoka, Haruna, and Konoka.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She appears to be [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless]], but she cares very much about her friends and being part of a LoveTriangle with her best friend causes her to break down and reveal a very warm side.
* TeenGenius: Not only is Yue one of the smartest girls in Class 3-A, she's also one of the smartest characters in the entire series.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: She once cheated during a pillow fight by hiding thick dictionaries in her pillows.
* TookALevelInBadass: At the start of the series she was a muggle and before going to the magic world she still wasn't as good as Negi was at the beginning of the series.
** Once in the Magic World, however, she enrolled in the Ariadne Academy for knights due to amnesia based lack of direction. With her memories not holding her effort back, she puts in some amazingly hard work and within about a month becomes the academy's top student [[spoiler:and planning out the successful defeat of a griffin dragon.]]
** During the chapters of the manga there's a brief skip forward to what Yue is doing now. [[spoiler:She has invented a completely safe, liquid-based Magia Erebea-like spell storage and release system. While she doesn't seem to get the physical benefits Negi does, Yue also doesn't seem to get any of the physical detriments. All she needs to do is take a swig of a potion, and she has a bunch of spells for instant cast whenever the hell she wants. Damn Yue.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's often shown with a juice of outlandish composition in hand, though the actual contents are always different.
* TransformationSequence: In her spin-off {{OVA}} she gets a long pactio equipping scene. Her bra seems to pity her.
* TsurimeEyes: Fitting with her snarky and unsocial nature are her serious looking eyes.
* VerbalTic: Overuses ''desu'' and speaks like [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness an encyclopedia]].
* WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have much in the way of raw power yet, but she's already an expert in magical theory despite the short time she's had to really learn about it. [[spoiler:Taking down a griffin dragon with a ceremonial knife by exploiting tiny weak points? Yes, please.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: Future Yue's potion power-up comes with one major weakness, namely that she only has so much time before all that liquid she drinks runs its course and leaves her with the natural consequences.
* WorthlessForeignDegree: In the epilogue Yue runs into this problem as [[{{Terraform}} ISS]][[SpaceElevator DA]] didn't accept her degree and career history from MagicWorld.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is purple.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Wears thigh high black stockings, which are purple in Negima?!

[[folder:Karakuri Chachamaru]]
[[quoteright:284:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_4046.JPG]]

Chachamaru is a robot designed by Chao and Hakase with a magic based power source fueled by Evangeline, her master. Despite looking older than many of her classmates, she is in fact the youngest person in the cast at only two years of age. She tends to appear emotionless, but is very kind and helpful. She also likes to tease Evangeline with a completely straight face. She has a crush on Negi, which causes issues for her since she's forced into conflict with him twice before she's able to act as an ally. During the second incident she makes friends with Chisame despite the latter's irritation with anything outside the ordinary, which definitely extends to humanoid robots going to middle school.

Chachamaru is designed to be quite tough and appears to know some form of martial arts. She also has many weapons hidden inside her body and as a robot has information warfare capabilities.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkenoWatanabe (Japanese) and Creator/CaitlinGlass (English)
----
* ActionGirl: She was Negi's entrance exam for Eva's training. Later, she beats up a dragon.
* {{Adorkable}}: She has her moments of cute awkwardness, especially around Negi.
* AnimalMotifs: She has an association with the better qualities of cats. They even feature into her pactio.
* ArmCannon: Part of her new {{Swiss Army Appendage}}s from her MidSeasonUpgrade.
* BadassAdorable: This RobotGirl can make [[spoiler:a KillSat]] look really cute.
* BadLiar: When her teasing antics are turned against her, she gets badly flustered and makes some incredibly transparent denials.
* BareYourMidriff: In her Pactio outfit.
* BerserkButton: Trying to harm a sick Negi while Chachamaru is around is a very bad idea. It's perhaps the only time [[NiceGirl Chachamaru]] has actually looked angry.
* {{BFG}}: Her body contains weaponry and thus she can morph her arm into a cannon.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Part of her new {{Swiss Army Appendage}}s from her MidSeasonUpgrade.
* BloodFromTheMouth: After Quartum [[spoiler:cuts her in two]] she begins leaking hydraulic fluid from her mouth since she doesn't have actual blood.
* CatGirl: Of the LittleBitBeastly variety; when her Pactio card is engaged she gains kitty ears.
* CovertPervert: She feels pleasure from being refueled via the key in the back of her head, which grows more intense as more magic energy is put in. After Negi fails to realize the awkward parts of this she apparently starts looking forward to it, which Asakura teases her about. For her part, she wonders if she's heading down the wrong path in life.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and eyes.
* EmotionlessGirl: Although she is less 'emotionless' and more 'expressionless'. She has emotions, but her face doesn't display it very well.
* EyeBeams: One of her abilities. She frequently uses these for her ranged attacks.
* FanservicePack: Halfway through the story, Hakase equips her with a realistic skin to hide her robotic body, making her look like, well, pretty much a normal woman. It doesn't take long for it to be shown in a bath scene.
* FantasticArousal: The key winding gives physical pleasure similar to that of a pactio, only it lasts longer, can be more intense if more energy is added and has to be done every day if she's to be in top performance.
* FriendToAllChildren: When Negi and Asuna followed her in an early chapter, they found her surrounded by a lot of children who're playing with her while she goes around doing good deeds, like handing a balloon stuck in a tree back to the little girl who lost it.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Along with helping all the townspeople as above, she also feeds a ton of cats, which all seem to love her.
* TheGadfly: After awhile it becomes clear that she's apparently fond of teasing Eva in a completely deadpan manner.
* GlassCannon: [[spoiler:Al-Iskandariya is quite possibly Ala Alba's most powerful weapon but it does nothing for her defenses. So with a full power blast, she not only knocked out Fate's shields, she knocked him out for a good ten minutes. In a single blow. And was immediately hit with a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Quartum.]]
* HasTwoMommies: Hakase and Chao worked together to build Chachamaru with a little support from Evangeline on the power source. The former two are considered her parents and the latter her master.
* HimeCut: One of her YamatoNadeshiko traits.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: She's uncomfortable with showing her body when it looks obviously robotic, but after she gets artificial skin she's completely confused by Negi asking her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn.
* KindheartedCatLover: One of the first hints we get that Chachamaru is a lot nicer than being the minion of a vampire lord would suggest is her attitude towards cats.
* {{Magitek}}: She runs partially on magic.
* MeaningfulName: "Cha" is a common pronunciation of the Japanese character for "tea"; "karakuri" literally translates into "mechanism". The translated title for her pactio, Dreaming Doll, also ties in to her character arc.
* MoralityPet: Evangeline's treatment of her is one of the many signs that [[NobleDemon she's not as evil as she says]]. Sure, she picks on her, but she's also nearly her mother.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: She came into conflict with Negi twice despite her obvious feelings for him. Both times because were because she was unwilling to act against her parents or master.
* MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat: Apparently [[TheGadfly just to pick on them]] Chachamaru at one point starts indicating the obvious signs of attraction the girls are feeling.
* PickYourHumanHalf: When the series started, she had obvious mechanical joints, antenna ears and with only a human looking face, but also possessed the full emotional spectrum even if she couldn't always express it well. Later, though, she does look more or less completely human, retaining only the ears.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair acts as heat dissipator; thus the longer her hair, the greater the exposed surface area and thus increased efficiency in heat dissipation.
* RescueRomance: Chachamaru started to have interest in Negi after he [[TakingTheBullet took the bullet]] from his own attack after he couldn’t bring himself to hurt her.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: She wasn't ''supposed'' to be one, [[InstantAIJustAddWater but she is]]. Hakase programmed her with rudimentary emotions and to mimic human activities she cannot perform otherwise like drinking tea, but she was ''not'' supposed to develop subjectivity, which is the basis of the majority of her CharacterDevelopment.
* {{Robosexual}}: Teased at. She has obvious feelings for Negi and feels an equivalent to sexual pleasure, but the idea of making a move on him doesn't even seem to occur to her. As far as being 'anatomically correct' goes, she refused upgrades several times.
* RobotGirl: She is a very beautiful female magic robot.
* RobotHair: She has hair which is [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair pastel green]]. It's a synthetic material which functions as her heat sink, but only the color visually distinguishes it from normal hair.
* RobotNames: To clarify the above, "Karakuri" means "mechanism".
* RocketPunch: Usually played for laughs, such as punching Hakase for checking out her memory files that she wanted kept private.
* SexySecretary: Volunteers to work as Negi's secretary while [[spoiler:works on the space elevator plan.]] It's a long term project with a lot of work involved and therefore suitable for an immortal being that doesn't require sleep.
* StatuesqueStunner: She is 174cm tall and has one of the more adult figures of the class.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's obviously a kind person and recognized as such, but she's almost always monotone and expressionless if not at an emotional peak.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Her new body's arms can [[MorphWeapon morph]] into [[ArmCannon assault rifles]] or [[BladeBelowTheShoulder swords]] -- and morph [[ShapeshifterWeapon ''back'' into arms]].
* SymbolicBlood: After [[spoiler:being bisected by Quatrum]] she "bleeds" coolant.
* TinmanTypist: This is how she fights in the Mahora Battle.
* UnusualEars: Her ears are actually antennae. Chisame is frustrated that she's the [[MetaGuy only one who seems to notice this]].
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Played with. Because she can take more damage it's not unusual for this to be shown. [[spoiler:She gets cut in half by Quartum at one point because he doesn't view her as alive. The scene is completely brutal with the level of violence inflicted upon her viewed as being as unacceptable as happening to anyone else especially with the damage shown: Her innards are showing, including a structural spine and SymbolicBlood everywhere.]]
* WildCard: Because of the whole "MyMasterRightOrWrong" thing conflicting with her desire to help Negi it becomes difficult to guess how she'll act until the Magic World arc begins.
* WindUpKey: She needs to be wound up every so often. It feels very good to her, so it often causes her embarrassment in the hands of an overenthusiastic winder.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Seeing as how she was created to be acquiescent, it is not surprising that she would have this sort of SilkHidingSteel programming; she fits many of the physical requirements as well. She's also part of the same tea ceremony club as Evangeline.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has long green hair.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: The only character who is younger than Negi because she was built to look the age she does. During the ball, she also points out to an angsting Natsumi that she isn't the only one with issues. She's two years old, so what life experience could she have?
* ZettaiRyouiki: Apparently a permanent fixture in her synthetic skin. With [[FingerlessGloves Fingerless]] OperaGloves to match.

[[folder:Konoe Konoka]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2970.JPG]]

Asuna's bubbly, [[GenkiGirl energetic]] friend and roommate. She's the heir of a rich and prominent noble family, specifically a fictionalized version of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konoe_family Konoe family]] itself a branch of the ancient and aristocratic Fujiwara clan which has provided marriages for the Imperial family and once effectively ruled Japan. She is also granddaughter of Mahora's Headmaster, Konoemon. Unknown to her, they are also a line of powerful magi, and she has the potential to match her ancestors: Her raw magical capacity surpasses that of Negi himself, though she isn't able to utilize it particularly well for combat purposes.

After being let in on the secret, she started training to become the group medic, though her role gradually lessened into orbiting around Setsuna.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiNonaka (Japanese) and Creator/MonicaRial (English)

* DatePeepers: Watching Negi and Nodoka.
* DontCallMeSir: She doesn't like being called ojou-sama by Setsuna.
* FortuneTeller: She likes to tell fortunes as a hobby, but most of the time she makes things up out of pure amusement. This occasionally crosses into TheDitz territory when she'll try and do a form of fortune telling with something else (ie tortoiseshell readings...with eggs)
* GenkiGirl: She's very energetic and also very carefree.
* TheGlomp: She tends to deliver tackling hugs to Setsuna (or other characters occasionally).

* HimeCut: She has the hairstyle as part of her classical {{Ojou}} image.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeFashionable: She likes to dress up Setsuna.
* JumpedAtTheCall: She was already interested in fortunetelling and the occult, so finding out she's an heiress to a family of powerful mages sat well with her.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: Being from Kyoto, Konoka speaks with this kind of accent.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World has cat ears and a tail.
* LipstickLesbian: While paired off with Setsuna, Konoka is still very girly.
* LonelyRichKid: Due to being raised in a mansion deep within the mountains, Setsuna was the only friend she ever had before entering Mahora.
* TheMedic: Her role in the team; she pushes the trope so far that she acts like a WhiteMagicianGirl and often appears in the standard red-rimmed white garb of the Japanese RPG white mage.
* ModestRoyalty: Despite being a rich {{Ojou}}, she chooses to live as the other students and has so far used her vast fortune only once in the series.
* NakedApron: In [[CovertPervert Setsuna's]] dream in [[spoiler:the LotusEaterMachine]] she's wearing nothing but an apron and cooking Setsuna breakfast while sleepy.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: She's perpetually cheerful and smiling, including when making morbid jokes.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She tends to be very clingy and huggy with Setsuna, much to her embarrassment.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Tends to play TheDitz, and while there's no denying that she's a bit flaky, she often knows a lot more than anyone gives her credit for.
* {{Ojou}}: Her family is extremely rich. And yet, she still manages to be the ''least'' royal person living in her room.

* SheIsAllGrownUp: It's implied that Setsuna first consciously realised how attractive Konoka had become when she saw her dressed up in a [[KimonoFanservice fancy kimono]] in cinema town. [[TransparentCloset Not that she was willing to acknowledge it just yet...]]
-->'''Setsuna:''' Ojousama really has grown into a beautiful young woman. Why am I so shaken up?
* SpoiledSweet: She is extremely rich and was raised in a BigFancyHouse, but Konoka is a really sweet girl.

[[folder:Ku Fei]]
[[quoteright:289:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_8721.JPG]]

Ku Fei is a Chinese exchange student with incredible skill in martial arts and immense strength. Seeing her skill, Negi asks her to teach him kenpo, which he picks up at a rate she considers unfair. Because she starts the series unable to use ki, she tends to lag behind the heavier hitters like Kaede despite being considered her superior when it comes to sheer skill in martial arts.

Her grades don't match her physical ability in the slightest and she speaks with an accent. She also has a rather straightforward and friendly personality.

->'''Voiced by:''' Hazuki Tanaka (Japanese, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'' and ''Negima!?''), Creator/KanaAsumi (Japanese, ''Mou Hitotsu no Sekai'' onwards), Creator/CynthiaCranz (English)
----
* ActionGirl: She is the captain of the martial arts club.
* AnimeChineseGirl: She usually wears a {{qipao}} and knows martial arts. She even puts her hair up in a pair of {{odango}} sometimes.
* BareFistedMonk: She is a good fist figther and wipes the floor with weapon-users routinely.
* BookDumb: By her own admission, Ku Fei is good at "everything but studying", to the point where, when it becomes a concern of the other girls that Negi might be developing a crush on her, they initially dismiss it because they think she's an idiot.
* CannotKeepASecret: She's told to keep a secret during Mahorafest twice, once regarding Albireo's true identity and another time regarding Chao planning to leave the class. She blurts it out almost instantly both times.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: A bit ditzy, but not out-and-out crazy.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: In a world filled with [[FantasyKitchenSink mages, vampires, half-demons, ninjas, robots]] and other beings somewhat cognizant of magic, she achieved [[BadassNormal exceptional strength in battle]] [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower by training a lot]] in her chosen style. Once the difficulty spiked for her, she started using ki rather than pure martial arts as well as making a Pactio with Negi. Her relative weakness often makes her more impressive looking in universe
--->'''Chisame:''' "She's just close enough to human that we can tell how ridiculously good she is."
* {{Expy}}: Of [[LoveHina Kaolla Su]] in terms of appearance and personality.
* FlashStep: Against Mana, during the ''[=MahoraFest=] Tournament''.
* GirlishPigtails: Her hair is bound up in spiky tails.
* HeirToTheDojo: She is the successor to the Ku warrior clan. [[spoiler:And as of the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, she has since set up a dojo to accommodate challengers and future followers alike.]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser: She weaponized cloth in her fight with Mana.
* KungFuKid: As far as martial arts go she's basically the highest level fighter in the group, but her control of ki lags behind the rest of the group.
* VerbalTic: She uses "Aru" instead of the proper sentence endings, which is anime code for "I am an anime character with a Chinese accent." In official translations she gets HulkSpeak instead while fan translations leave it untranslated. For some reason, she loses it in the first anime but regains it in ''[[NegimaSecondSeason Negima!?]]''.
* WaifFu: She looks rather scrawny, but when she flexes muscles suddenly start bulging everywhere.
* YouNoTakeCandle: She turns into this starting from around Volume 7 of the English manga, possibly to make it clear that she's Chinese rather than Japanese. Prior to that she speaks like a normal schoolgirl.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Starting in Chapter 55, when she is first seen in a non-school outfit. The formal qipao she wore when she got her Pactio also counts, even though it is quite long, but the cut is also quite high so it shows off her legs and socks nicely.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Nagase Kaede]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_3639.JPG]]

As a {{Ninja}} of considerable skill, Kaede is generally a wise mentor figure to the group when she's not serving as its [[ActionGirl muscle]]. She is portrayed as more powerful than Negi himself in the early stages of the story despite initially [[{{Muggle}} not knowing about magic at all]] and it is not until a decent length into the story that Negi manages to catch up to and surpass her. Her grades are not that great, but she doesn't appear to be unintelligent. Rather, she apparently spends too much time training.

Kaede fights using her ninja abilities, making her very fast, able to use many powerful shadow clones and having a high degree of strength and skill.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyokoShiraishi (Japanese), Clarine Harp (English)
----
* ActionGirl: Comes naturally with being a ninja. During Mahorafest she was able to match up against Albireo, who should be ''much'' stronger than her, though he was obviously unwilling to use potentially lethal attacks.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: She uses a peculiar style of archaic speech patterns, notably ending her sentences with "de gozaru" or "nari", usually associated with Ninja or Samurai warriors. They are often left untranslated, or in the case of the anime, cut out entirely.
* {{Badass}}: Until around midway through the Magic World arc, she was probably the strongest fighter in the group. During the Mahorafest semifinals she demonstrated the ability to stall Albireo so well that in order to avoid losing by votes in overtime he was forced to pull out his TooAwesomeToUse pactio[[note]]It can only be used for several minutes and then becomes useless forever[[/note]] in order to subdue her non-lethally. [[spoiler:In the Magic World finale she had the best showing of any allied fighter not named Negi or Chachamaru by briefly matching Quintum before going for a non combat victory.]]
* BadassCape: Her artifact, Tengu no Kakuremino, takes the form of a ragged looking cloth worn as a cape.
* BadassInANiceSuit: During the ball she wears a nice suit rather than a dress because she wants to be able to move around easily.
* BigSisterInstinct: Towards Negi and Kotaro. The charts say that her romantic feelings for them are low, but the sisterly/motherly ones are [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale off the scale]]. She also seems to take care of the twins.
* BookDumb: She doesn't seem as dumb as Ku Fei and is a good strategist to boot. She still manages to be one of the five worst students in the class with the most commonly accepted explanation being that the {{Ninja}} training is probably interfering with her studies.
* CatSmile: Especially prominent due to EyesAlwaysShut.
* CoolBigSis: To Negi and Kotaro.
* EyesAlwaysShut: So far she has only been seen with both eyes open about a dozen times; each time signifies [[LetsGetDangerous she means business]].
* FlatCharacter: Tall, protective and wise ninja. Not much more to say about her.
* FuumaShuriken: Her shuriken is at least six feet from tip to tip and provides the Page image. [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Deified, as well]].
* HaremNanny: Her romantic feelings are low, but her motherly feelings are very high. As a result, she's very protective and calm compared to the more emotional girls like Asuna or Ku Fei.
* HeirToTheDojo: Though it's only mentioned in [[AllThereInTheManual her character design notes]].
* IdiotHair: As one of the Baka Rangers, she gets to have an idiot hair. She seems smarter than most of the group though.
* {{Ninja}}: Although she doesn't necessarily [[HighlyVisibleNinja stick out like a sore thumb]].
* {{Sarashi}}: Being a {{Ninja}} and everything, she uses sarashi as a bra.
* ShortHairWithTail: Her hair has a short part in a straight bob and a long part of her hair in a ponytail tied at the nape of her neck that reaches her feet.
* SlipknotPonytail: Chao snatches her hair band to prove a point about the different levels of ability between the two and show Kaede can't hope to beat her.
* StaticCharacter: She's already calm and sure of where she wants to go in life, leaving her as one of the more stable and mellow members of the cast throughout its run.
* StatuesqueStunner: One of the tallest girls in the series with 183cm tall and the second largest bust. [[LampshadeHanging She can't pass for her actual age at all.]]
* TomboyishSidetails: Her sidetails are longer than the short part of her hair.
* TsurimeEyes: 95% of the time, she's EyesAlwaysShut, but when she does open them, they are this shape.
* VaporWear: Just look at that picture. She is probably not wearing underwear.
* WalkingTheEarth: The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue reveals that she has since become a wanderer helping her friends along the way when not training on Earth with Ku Fei.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's afraid of frogs. This is based on a pun that doesn't really translate.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has greenish brown hair.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: Neither she nor Mana can get their student discount when trying to get into the movies, so she uses a ninja technique to make her look ''much'' younger.

[[folder:Saotome Haruna]]
[[quoteright:289:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_4691.JPG]]

Haruna is the final member of the Library Exploration Club to join Ala Alba after getting involved during Mahorafest, where she JumpedAtTheCall, much to Negi's terror. Unlike the other club members, Haruna seems motivated almost entirely by self amusement and plays tricks on Yue and Nodoka for laughs even while attempting to help them get closer to Negi. Thus, she has little personal involvement in anything Ala Alba does, but she views it as a good way to have fun.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SawaIshige (Japanese) and Creator/JamieMarchi (English)
----
* CaptainObvious: When attacked by Shirabe, she helpfully points out the obvious fact that her violin blows stuff up and that she works for Fate. Lampshaded both times.
* DatePeepers: During Nodoka and Negi's date at the festival, she kept following them around trying to push them into a more "interesting" direction. Why? [[ItAmusedMe Because it's fun!]]
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Her Suka form in ''Negima!?''.
* GenreSavvy: She has a pretty good idea of how a shounen manga is supposed to work due to her obvious otaku status.
* HairAntennae: She has hair antennae that seem to function as ''actual'' antennae, including the ability to home in on feelings of love.
* InSeriesNickname: "Paru". Doubles as a LuckyTranslation in French, as "paru" can mean "published". Since she's a mangaka…
* ItAmusedMe: She has a tendency to act like a jerk and embarrass people for shits and giggles.
* {{Jerkass}}: It's generally PlayedForLaughs, but Haruna is often selfish, irresponsible, impulsive, rude and thoughtless. Though she does care about Nodoka and Yue at least, her attempts to help them with their love lives seem primarily motivated by amusement. She tags along to the action because it looks fun rather than really caring and [[spoiler:phrases her refusal to withdraw the ship in terms of wanting to make a good name for herself for when she conquers the world.]]
* TheMatchmaker: Started out pushing Nodoka heavily towards Negi, and then when she realized Yue also had a crush on Negi she backed off slightly and said she'd support both. Following this, she's begun pushing as many girls at Negi as possible as well as egging Natsumi on regarding Kotaro.
* MsViceGirl: She's very greedy and selfish.
* PetTheDog: She gets a nice moment at the very climax when [[spoiler:her ship crashes in Mahora and she's extremely happy to see Madoka and gives her a huge hug.]]
* RapunzelHair: The length seems somewhat inconsistent. Sometimes it's to slightly above her waist and sometimes it trails a few inches below.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Whenever an idea pops into her head, her glasses reveal her true nature.
* SecretChaser: She is rather fixated on finding out who, if anyone, Negi likes. Creepily, actually.
* SequentialArtist: [[MagicalGirl Mahou Shojo]] [[ShowWithinAShow Biblion]] {{doujin}}s.
* ShipperOnDeck: Begins with Negi/Nodoka, though she stops pushing the two together when she becomes aware of Yue's crush and opts to support both. Later, she becomes a Konoka/Setsuna ''and'' Kotaro/Natsumi fan.
* TokenEvilTeammate: She seems completely uninterested in the actual goals of the group or helping people. She's also quite fond of making people look stupid and her long term goals include taking over the Magic World. She's friends with Yue and Nodoka, which is basically the whole reason she's in the group: They failed to keep the secret from her and she forced her way in.
* YaoiFangirl: She dragged Negi to the ''[[{{Doujinshi}} Comiket]]'' and showed him yaoi doujins of what appears to be ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei.''

Asakura is the local SchoolNewspaperNewshound and an aspiring IntrepidReporter. She discovered Negi's secret early on and loosely followed the events [[WildCard with no real affiliation]] apart from pursuit of interesting stories until integrating more fully into the group around the end of Mahorafest. She is Sayo's best friend and the two formed a partnership of sorts due to Sayo being almost completely undetectable, making her a great spy.

She tagged along to the Magic World without having formed a pactio with Negi.

->'''Voiced by:''' Ayana Sasagawa (Japanese) and Creator/MonicaRial (English)
----
* AnimeHair: Uhm, nice pineappe-shaped cut.
* BigBreastPride: She's pretty proud of her bust and is offended when Negi notices that developed as she is she's still no Shizuna.
* CameraFiend: Her class panics when being attacked by a ghost? She pulls out her camera immediately.
* CombatCommentator: She plays the referee during Mahorafest, though most of the more detailed. commentary is done by someone else.
* {{Expy}}: To [[Manga/LoveHina Kitsune Konno]], with the nosy, busybody traits turned UpToEleven.
* TheGadfly: Shows signs of this when she starts to boast about her supposed FirstKiss with Negi.
* HotScoop: Always out for the latest scoop and never short of bare skin to show.
* IntrepidReporter: Her interest in revealing Negi as a mage is what kicks off her involvement in the plot.
* PetTheDog: Often rather amoral, but there are lines she won't cross, even for a big scoop. In the manga, she immediately switches to Negi's side when she learns her current actions are going to get him turned into an ermine while in the anime she refuses to post a story about Sayo because the pictures she took were of a miserable crying girl
* SchoolNewspaperNewshound: She dreams of the big scoop that will really make a mark and her investigative abilities appear to be top notch.
* UnfazedEveryman: Asakura seems to occupy a special niche somewhere between Chisame and Haruna. On the one hand, you have Chisame who absolutely freaks about magic while on the other hand you have Haruna who is jumping for joy when she hears about it. Asakura? She feels like she could probably write a good story about it or something, but isn't really that interested in getting too involved and never begins learning magic like the likes of Yue or even Makie.
* WildCard: Her pursuit of the truth and rather carefree moral compass can result in her switching sides easily, though she definitely has everyone's best interests at heart.

Sayo is class 3A's resident ghost and a little too [[CuteGhostGirl cute]] and inept to be considered scary, despite her occasional efforts. Apart from being impossibly clumsy, she's also extremely difficult to detect. Upon being slightly noticed by Negi during a class vote, she attempted to make her presence known and after some mishaps more characters were able to see her fully and she became Asakura's best friend and assistant. She eventually gains a small doll that she can possess and joins Ala Alba as their [[StealthPun ghost member.]] She appears to have a bit of a crush on Negi, but this was never developed since post introduction they only spoke once or twice.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuriShiratori (Japanese) and Kate Bristol (English)
----
* CuteClumsyGirl: Tripping on flat pavement when you don't even have feet? That's pretty bad. Carries over to the little doll effigy as well.
* CuteGhostGirl: She's too incompetent to be scary, though she tries. Most of the class thinks she's too cute.
* FogFeet: Since she's a scary ghost, she gets scary ghost feet. And manages to trip over said nonexistent feet.
* FriendlyGhost: She's a ghost, but she's too nice and cute to be scary, and the only thing she wants is a friend.
* FunSize: She gets a tiny, cutesy doll body to inhabit right before going to the Magic World.
* GhostAmnesia: She remembers very little of her life, her death or any goals she might have that might be the reason she's hanging around. The first anime gave one version of her death, though.
* GhostLights: She tends to have little floaty lights around whenever she's being particularly ghostly.
* GhostlyChill: Nobody takes her seat because it's always so cold.
* HeadPet: When she's possessing a small doll, she sometimes sits on people's heads, usually Asakura's.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Having been friendless and lonely for around 60 years, Sayo is very desperate for a friend. Unfortunately, her attempts of making friends are horribly misunderstood at first.
* JacobMarleyApparel: Wears a SailorFuku, probably the school uniform when she died back in 1940.
* {{Joshikousei}}: She [[JacobMarleyApparel wears an obsolete uniform]].
* LockedIntoStrangeness: When she was alive, she had black hair. As a ghost, it reversed to white.
* MissingMom: In the anime, it's shown that her mom died in war sixty years ago.
* MobileSuitHuman: She gets around in a tiny, vaguely humanoid doll which apparently makes her act energetic and ditzy. [[spoiler:Haruna creates a robot body for her with her artifact. Her doll body drives it from inside.]]
* MysticalWhiteHair: It indicates that she's not human.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: She just wants to make friends, but all her attempts to communicate with people are interpreted all wrong.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: She has been tied to her seat for more than sixty years due to reasons still undisclosed, can't leave the school grounds until Asakura got a special doll for her to possess and is absolutely terrible at being a ghost.
* RapunzelHair: She has waist length hair.
* ReluctantMonster: She occasionally makes halfhearted attempts to scare people, but it's obvious she'd much rather be making friends. Reminders that she's a ghost tend to be depressing.
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: She is mistaken for one after Asakura takes a [[SpookyPhotographs Scary Photograph]] of her. It gets to the point that they even call in two professional exorcists to take care of the problem before they finally figure out that she doesn't want to hurt anyone.
* SuperDeformed: She spends some time with Chachamaru and Negi in a chibi doll of herself.
* VerbalTic: Says ''desuuu'' in a spooky ghost voice. [[DontExplainTheJoke Because she's a spooky ghost]].

Chamo is a crafty, lecherous, [[TalkingAnimal talking ermine]] and something between a familiar and a mentor to Negi. He provides comic relief, devises battle plans, forms the pactio circles and enjoys teasing the girls about their feelings for Negi, which he is apparently able to uncover via some form of weird magic. Despite mages being turned into ermines for breaking the masquerade, there is no indication that Chamo is such a case. Rather, he appears to be some sort of fairy.

->'''Voiced by:''' Masashi Yabe (Japanese) and Chris Cason (English)
----
* ButtMonkey: Whenever he says something perverse, he gets beaten up. In the first anime series, he also gets smacked in the face with a flashlight that was still on, leaving a red mark over his face for the rest of the episode.
* DatePeepers: He has great interest in following everyone around on their possible dates and making lewd comments on them.
* DirtyOldMan: Being a short-lived ermine, Chamo is an old man despite being ''younger'' than Negi. Both he and author's notes refer to him as a dirty old man several times.
* {{Familiar}}: He moves into the story attempting to get Negi to accept him as an official familiar in order to evade responsibility for some crimes he committed involving underwear theft. Negi, being quite gullible, swallows his sob story whole.
* FunnyAnimal: An ermine who talks, smokes and is perverted.
* HeadPet: He often hangs out on people's shoulders and even sits on Sayo's head once, who acts like a HeadPet herself.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure, he's a DirtyOldMan in ermine form, and constantly tries to manipulate people for his own gain... but he never puts his own goals above the safety of the rest of group, tries to make sure everybody else benefits along with him, and generally tries to make himself as useful as possible, even when an ermine generally wouldn't be able to do anything.
* LovableSexManiac: He sneaks into a swimming pool with the 3-A girls and pulling their bathing suits off and steals underwear. The former is actually his debut.
* TheMatchmaker: ''Loves'' to tell Negi to make more and more Pactios with the girls because he scores a bunch of money every time he does.
* MeaningfulName: かもがねぎをしょってくる (''kamo'' ga ''negi'' o shotte kuru), which literally translates into "a duck comes bearing green onions", an idiom referring to something being too good to be true.
* MentorMascot: While he's usually just Negi's perverted {{familiar}}, he does a bit of mentoring about a particular aspect of the local magic system, but mostly so he can collect a hefty paycheck from somewhere or other every time Negi gets a partner.
* TheNicknamer: Chamo has a nickname for ''everyone''. It's rare for him to call people by their actual names. It's much more common for him to give them names like Yuecchi or use terms like aniki, anego and nee san.
* NonHumanSidekick: Small, white ermine that looks to Negi as his big brother and helps him form pactios.
* OlderSidekick: Unclear. He acts like a DirtyOldMan, but as an ermine it's unlikely that he's as old as Negi. On the other hand, he's an ermine ''fairy.''
* PantyThief: So much that [[spoiler:his share of the Rainyday twins' LotusEaterMachine]] has him pretty much ''swimming'' in underwear.
* PunnyName: Chamo's name combined with Negi's refers to a Japanese legend about a duck carrying a leek that offers itself as a meal to lost and starving travelers, which has come to mean something too good to be true (you've got dinner with it's own seasoning), or to con-men, a sucker.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: He's quite eager to get Negi as much tail as possible. He also likes to comment on all the FetishFuel and {{Fanservice}} that tends to go on around them.
* WeaselMascot: With DirtyOldMan tendencies to boot!

Anya is Negi's childhood friend and a fellow graduate from [[WizardingSchool Merdiana Magic Academy]]. Since she's known Negi longer than any of his students, he doesn't use {{Keigo}} when speaking to her. She's [[FieryRedhead extremely emotional]], [[{{Tsundere}} especially when it comes to Negi]] and is convinced that he is being led astray by all the pretty girls and their boobs. Though she shows up after Mahorafest intending to show him how much she has improved, she's stunned to see that he's way, way out of her league at this point. Further annoying her is the number of pactios he has at this point, which pisses her off until he manages to calm her down and invite her to the group officially.

She specializes in fire magic, of course, though her performance is less than stellar considering that the first time she tries to attack Negi she also sets her own clothing and hair on fire.

----
* ACupAngst: Seems particularly obsessed with her breast size relative to the older girls of the Ala Alba. At one point she states outright "those with big breasts are my enemies, those with small breasts are my allies". No wonder she made quick friends with Yue and Nodoka.
* AgeAppropriateAngst: Unlike the rest of the cast, she just has some body image issues that she'll grow out of and worrys that the boy she totally doesn't like or anything doesn't pay enough attention to her.
* AscendedExtra: Anya has a ''much'' bigger role in ''Negima!?'', and an even bigger one in the ''Negima!? Neo'' manga partially based on the former, where she becomes ''the'' 32nd member of Class 3-A come Chapter 15, and is all set up to take ninja lessons from Kaede and actually become useful in combat. [[ThrowTheDogABone Akamatsu must've felt bad for her.]]
* BrattyHalfPint: She comes across as violent, bossy and very bratty.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She doesn't like seeing Negi with other girls.
* ElementalHair: She uses fire magic and her hair is red.
* FieryRedhead: She's hot headed and what little offensive magic she does know is all fire based.
* FortuneTeller: Her assignment in London as a final mage test, akin to Negi's assignment as a teacher in Japan.
* GirlishPigtails: As part of her stereotypical {{Tsundere}} appearance.

* RapunzelHair: Down to her waist.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Her standard attire before the Magical World trip.

Meaning the White Wing, Ala Alba is an organization formed by class 3A to help Negi find his DisappearedDad. The group was named after the group Nagi was a part of, Ala Rubra, which is very famous among mages for their part in ending a massive war twenty years ago and saving the world. So, you know, no pressure guys. [[RunningGag Just be ready with a Clubhouse Sandwich for this page.]]

So, you know, no pressure guys. [[RunningGag Just be ready with a couple of Clubhouse Sandwich Sandwiches for this page.page, 'cause this will take a while.]]



* StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks almost identical to his father Nagi, especially when he magically ages himself up.
* SuperIntelligence: Negi's great strength later in the manga lies in his ability to rapidly learn and create new techniques and strategies. It's remarked that governments would love to sit him behind a desk to just work on magical theory all day.
* SuperMode: The base form of Magia Erebea gives him a 50% power boost before he even starts using the actual Magia Erebea abilities.
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: Magea Erebea has an effect on his emotions because it's fueled by them. [[spoiler:When the encroachment goes out of control, he turns into a berserking monster with some rather heavy mutations. Surprisingly, this is never really used in combat after he's interrupted during its first real occurrence.]]
* SurvivorGuilt: Being one of the only two survivors of his DoomedHometown, Negi has lots of it.
* SweetheartSipping: During a shopping trip with Konoka. It gets misunderstood by the DatePeepers to hilarious ends.
* SwissArmyHero: It's noted early that by changing the spells he absorbs with Magia Erebea that he can give himself different strengths such as a StoneWall, FragileSpeedster or GlassCannon. However, he almost always uses the FragileSpeedster effect.
* TaremeEyes: Likely to complements his "innocent little boy" traits.
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:After Quartum bisects Chachamaru, Negi appears and delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.]]
* UnstoppableRage: First happens against Graf, though Kotaro manages to smack some sense into him. [[spoiler:Later occurs multiple times starting during a fight with Godel.]]
* UnwantedHarem: Does the collection of powerful girls crushing on him strike you with [[BlessedWithSuck pity]], [[CursedWithAwesome envy]], or fear for the day he hits puberty?
* VocalDissonance: When the 3rd OAD came out, his adult self is still voiced by Creator/RinaSato.
* WillfullyWeak: At one point decided that he would seal his magic and fulfill his duties as a teacher without relying on magic. [[AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp He chose a bad time for it.]]
* WiseBeyondHisYears: Despite being ten, he is very wise, though this has pointedly come at the cost of sacrificing a real childhood.
* WorthyOpponent: Kotaro thinks of Negi as being the first mage he's gone up against that wasn't a loser who couldn't take a punch.
* WouldHitAGirl: Despite being an "English gentleman", he doesn't hesitate to fight Takane. Asuna does not approve; Setsuna and Evangeline do.
* YouShallNotPass: Stays behind to stop horde of demons from catching Ala Alba. He's not in any real danger though.
* ZettaiRyouiki: When his students capture him, they make him crossdress as a foxgirl complete with long stockings.

[[folder:Kagurazaka Asuna]]
[[quoteright:291:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_485.JPG]]

Asuna is a girl Negi speaks to on the first day, informing her that her love is going to end unrequited. After this charming start, he's asked by the principal to move into her room and after a bit of initial friction ends up as his protective big sister figure [[{{Tsundere}} among hints of other kinds of affection.]] She is fairly dim, but she's also a hard worker with a strong sense of responsibility. Though intellectually weak, she's physically superhuman even more magic enters the equation, capable of running as fast as a bicycle and having both sight and hearing well above that of a normal human.

She becomes his first Ministra Magi and possesses incredibly rare antimagic abilities that confuse others due to Asuna being an apparently ordinary middle school student. Her artifact is a large metal fan with properties suited for exorcism, though as she gains more control over her abilities it gradually gets replaced by her actual artifact, a massive sword with antimagic properties. Both are known as either the ''Ensis Exorcizans'' or the ''Hama no Tsurugi'' depending on reading.

Despite being supposedly ordinary, strange dreams and abilities hint that she is far from it, leaving her something of a mystery for most of the story to the reader.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkemiKanda (Japanese) and Creator/LuciChristian (English)
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her outfit [[spoiler:during her second capture.]]
* ActionGirl: She is the first to come to Negi's aid early in the series, and also the first to get a pactio.
* AmnesiacHero: From early on, it's hinted that Asuna isn't the normal schoolgirl she believes herself to be and has a mysterious past she can't remember.
* AntiMagic: She has the ability to cancel magic, which is initially assumed to be because of her contract with Negi. Though initially unpredictable, she eventually gets control of this and can extend it as a field, punching out 100% unbreakable seals and dispelling giant falling pillars with a wave of her sword. Magic Cancel is a rare ability, which causes no end of confusion to experts who wonder why a normal person like Asuna can use it. [[spoiler:However, the true nature of this ability is actually considerably more complex and even rarer, a throwback to the found of the Ostian dynasty and creator of the Magic World who used the same ability to create it. Properly speaking, it's known as the Magic of Creation and Destruction and is extremely potent.]]
* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:Fate needs Asuna's AntiMagic abilities to erase Mundus Magicus and put its inhabitants into a LotusEaterMachine to keep them from disappearing when Mundus Magicus collapses on its own.]]
* ArmorPiercingSlap: So powerful it goes straight through Evangeline's shields, though it turns out to be due to AntiMagic.
* {{Badass}}: She grows into an excellent melee fighter with some really rare techniques
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:After meeting Fate's team, she gets surrounded and captured by one of Fate's partners, who assumes Asuna's form and joins the group pretending to be her. Asuna was held captive by Fate, with Fate successfully undoing her LaserGuidedAmnesia, to cause her to remember her past and go into a week-long HeroicBSOD.]]
* BarrierMaiden: Near the conclusion of the story, it was revealed that [[spoiler:she'll be sleeping for 100 years in the Gravekeeper's Palace, serving as the literal cornerstone for the plan to save the Magic World. Time travel hijinks make it complicated, however, since she technically doesn't go back to her own world when she wakes up and meets Chao.]]
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:To Fate's surprise, Asuna Kagurazaka is a fully fledged identity that grew from her originally EmotionlessGirl state.]]
* BigSisterInstinct: She says she sees Negi as a little brother she must protect. [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg59/Xophien/KamoRankings.jpg Chamo's charts]] say that her sisterly/motherly feelings for Negi are the strongest out of all the girls.
* BookDumb: Her grades are so terrible that she is the one with the lowest scores out of all the Baka Rangers.
* BrokenBird: When she showed up in Mahora, she was an EmotionlessGirl that annoyed Ayaka with her blank expression, so she kicked her. [[spoiler:At that point, she had a very limited time of actually being a human, instead having been treated as a living weapon for a century or more.]]
* CharacterExaggeration: Asuna goes from being a regular {{Tsundere}}, having a job and more or less just trying to survive in the craziness around her in the manga and first anime series, to being completely nuts in Negima?!
* CoolBigSis: She acts as a big sister towards Negi, though there are hints of romantic interest.
* CuteLittleFangs: To match her aggressive personality she occasionally has little fanglike teeth.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[MysteriousPast We don't really know the details]], but [[spoiler:she underwent LaserGuidedAmnesia so that she could forget all that she had been through. What we do know is that it includes being [[GirlInTheTower imprisoned in a tower]] and used as a human weapon, and the destruction of a FloatingContinent.]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: Asuna is Negi's ministra magi and thus responsible for protecting the SquishyWizard while he casts his spells. In resppnse, Negi pushes himself to become stronger so she doesn't have to protect him and put herself in danger. While competing in Mahora Fest's Tournament [[spoiler: she loudly declared to Negi that she was plenty powerful enough to protect him. Then she became profoundly embarrassed because she was fighting at that moment and the entire crowd interperted her declaration as a love confession.]]
* DiesWideOpen: In the first anime's ending, she hits her birthday and then falls from the World Tree. Negi catches her, but she only fell because she was already dead. Negi magically undoes it with the help of his class.
* DontCallMeSir: Gets very upset when Setsuna starts acting like her servant and calling her "[[spoiler:princess]]" after she learns about Asuna's origins.
* EmotionlessGirl: As a kid she had a flat expression that irritated Ayaka. In the present, she's rather excitable. And irritable.
* EpicFail: Trying to light someone's cigarette and instead setting their beard on fire. Then she tried putting it out with hot tea.
* ExpressiveHair: In ''Negima!?'' her pigtails move according to her mood.
* {{Expy}}: She's stated to embody the "protective" aspect of [[Manga/LoveHina Naru's]] personality.
* FieryRedhead: She's a fiery {{Tsundere}} with red hair.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:After she wakes up from sleeping for 130 years, Asuna finds herself alone in a strange time and place with all her friends gone. She at least hoped Negi (having a body like Evangeline's) would still be alive, but he died and after seeing all that her friends did in their lives while she was sleeping she breaks down in tears. However, Evangeline and Chao send her back in time and she reunites with her friends.]]
* FullFrontalAssault: After getting {{Clothing Damage}}d for the umpteenth time during the AggressiveNegotiations with Goedel. She's been stripped enough that she just ignores it, proves herself immune to DefeatByModesty and presses the attack. The viewers get a [[HandOrObjectUnderwear Godiva sword tassel]]. [[spoiler:Although that was actually Fake!Asuna/Shiori.]]
-->"Like I care!"
* GagBoobs: She gets them in one episode where the girls are using breast size for a contest to see who gets to share a room with Negi.
* GenericCuteness: Judging by the startled reactions of her friends at the ball and during her 'date' with Takamichi, Asuna is apparently supposed to look fairly plain most of the time.
* GirlishPigtails: Befitting her {{Tsundere}} personality. When the topic comes up, her friends note that its rather childish and that she looks better with her hair down.
* GodivaHair: Her hair reaches her waist, which really helps, since being around Negi has a tendency to suddenly leave you without clothing.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: A... bear?
* HairDecorations: She wears a pair of bells on her GirlishPigtails. They're also a MementoMacGuffin since she wears those bells because they came from Takamichi, not because she thinks they make her look cuter. And on the rare occasions that she takes them off everyone notes that she looks better without them.
* HeavySleeper: [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] in ''Anime/NegimaSecondSeason''. [[spoiler:Then the manga reveals that she slept for thirty more years to wake up to a world where the otherwise immortal Negi inexplicably died, only for Eva and Chao to return her back 130 years to a world identical to where she came from mere seconds after her departure. The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue reveals that her extended sleep was partially caused by a war on Mars in the 22nd century, of which Mana was a participant.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Chapter 284 showed the tail end of a week-long one. Fate didn't expect her to come out of it at all]].
* HomeRunHitter: Does this to Evangeline using a thrown boat as the bat in ''Negima!?''.
* HotForTeacher: Has a crush on Takahata-sensei.
* IAmWhatIAm: The most difficult mental issue she has is the [[spoiler:duality between who she was as Princess Asuna and who she is now as Asuna Kagurazaka]]. At the end of the Magic World arc, [[spoiler:she's at terms with both sides of herself, proclaiming herself a genuine magic princess as she fixes all the devastation wrought by Cosmo Entelechia.]]
* IAmWho: Asuna certainly isn't who she believes herself to be and she has a long forgotten past that is slowly hinted throughout the series. [[spoiler:She's actually a princess from the magic world who was used as a human weapon because of her AntiMagic powers.]]
* IdenticalStranger: She looks very similar to Negi's cousin Nekane.
* IdiotHair: It fits thanks to her being an IdiotHero.
* IdiotHero: It's pointed out more than once that she far more closely resembles the trope than Negi himself. Kotaro even compares her to Nagi due to her idiocy and determination.
* InelegantBlubbering: When things don't go well with Takamichi, Negi bumps into Asuna streaming tears and with snot running out of her nose. After this, she spends a few days moping in Eva's resort before getting over it.
* InstantExpert: Though she's nearly as dim as Negi is brilliant, she picks up fighting and even kanka almost as quickly as he does magic and martial arts. However, in her case it's because she already learned at least some of this stuff when she was a kid. Of course, she ''also'' performed kanka perfectly almost instantly as a child as well, though in that case it was due to [[spoiler:being 'empty' from having no life experience, social interaction or anything for over a hundred years while being used as some type of weapon.]]
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World has cat ears and a tail.
* KickChick: Negi even notes in his class rooster how she has a very powerful kick.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: She doesn't have any memories from before ten years ago [[spoiler:after Takamichi had her memory sealed on behalf of the dying Gateau Vanderburg.]]
* LethalChef: Briefly, in the anime; looked like an AlienLunch. ''Negima!?'' also gave us a glimpse of her cooking. She burned down the kitchen.
* LightningGlare: Frequently to Negi after he manages to upset her yet again.
* LikesOlderWomen: {{Gender Flip}}ped. She has a preference for older guys. Ayaka calls her an "Ojicon" because of it.
* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:She's part of the Ostian bloodline just like Negi and his mother, though where she fits on the family tree is rather unclear.]]
* MarilynManeuver: Does this once during the ''Pactio'' spell, [[PantyShot since there's wind blowing up]].
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: Right eye green, left eye blue. It's difficult to notice unless she's looking straight at the camera. She's definitely not normal either.
* {{Meido}}: During the TournamentArc, Asuna and Setsuna get pressganged into wearing maid outfits to appeal to the crowd.
* ModestyShorts: After GoingCommando in a skirt in Kyoto, this is a big issue for her.
* MysteriousPast: Especially when when she turns out to be [[OlderThanTheyLook far older than she looks]].
* MysticalWaif: She shows the canonical catatonic personality in flashbacks.
* NoSell: Her Magic Cancel stops ''any'' magic.
* NotAMorningPerson: She is known for being bad at mornings. She gets up early for her job during the week, but sleeps in late on the weekends.
* OlderSidekick: To Negi. He is only ten and she is a teenager.
* OlderThanSheLooks: Before too much time passes, it's clear that Asuna has a history she doesn't remember and is at least a little older than she appears. [[spoiler:She was used as a human weapon for at least a century, was involved in the War and only after that did she begin to age normally. Thus, she should be at least a hundred and thirty years old.]]
* OneHeadTaller: Than Negi. The romance is debatable, but when she hugs him during the Magic World reunion the effect is obvious.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Asuna appears to be a normal schoolgirl who just happens to get involved in magic because of Negi, but her AntiMagic powers and amnesia imply she's much more than that. [[spoiler:Turns out she's a princess from the Magic World.]]
* OutWithABang: PG version, after a WorldTree-controlled Negi catches her in a deep kiss that ends after she's passed out from lack of oxygen.
* OverlyLongName: Her full name is very long, but most people don't know it. [[spoiler:Her full name, Asuna Vesperina Theotanasia Entheofushia, notes her status as an imperial princess of the Ostian bloodline.]]
* PaperFanOfDoom: The weaker form of her pactio artifact is a fan that cancels all summons and dispels some forms of magic.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:Her AntiMagic actually caused a FloatingContinent to crash and nearly destroyed the entire Magic World.]]
* PhlebotinumGirl: She was used as a human weapon at some point, but the story doesn't say how at the time. [[spoiler:Her antimagic abilities are actually a little more extensive than that and allow her to be used as a catalyst for a ritual that could destroy the entire magic world. On a smaller scale, they're still quite potent.]]
* PluckyGirl: She's very brave and never gives up.
* PrecociousCrush: She's had a crush on Takamichi for a few years now. She's turned down not necessarily because Takamichi doesn't like her (though he clearly doesn't) but because he feels he's unworthy of love in the first place.
* PutOnABus: She's captured and disappears from the story for about fifty chapters, [[spoiler:but she's replaced by a perfect copy during that time.]]
* RagsToRoyalty: She's just a normal middle schooler, [[spoiler:who is actually the last valid descendant of the Ostian bloodline. Negi is another, but his mother was imprisoned as a scapegoat, so Asuna is apparently considered the heir to the line.]]
* RapunzelHair: Even though she wears it in GirlishPigtails, her hair reaches her knees.
* RedHeadedHeroine: A heroic FieryRedhead.
* RipVanWinkle: [[spoiler:For Negi's plan to save the magic world to succeed, she has to be put into stasis for a century. She oversleeps by another thirty years. If she hadn't, she could have at least met Ayaka again.]]
* SacredFirstKiss: Initially reluctant to make a Pactio for this reason. Later she claims it doesn't count because it was a Pactio, not a ''real'' kiss. Judging by the way everyone else in the story views Pactios the only one she's fooling is herself.
* SharedUnusualTrait: She and Princess Arika have heterochromia. [[spoiler:They have a common ancestor in the Lifemaker.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: She receives several reactions from her classmates after seeing her actually taking care of her appearance such as at the ball.
* ShipperOnDeck: She supports Konoka and Setsuna's relationship and enjoys teasing the latter about it.
* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:When her memories are forcibly returned to her, her former self as Princess Asuna comes into conflict with her Asuna Kagurazaka self and nearly destroys it. She ends up accepting both sides of herself, though the Kagurazaka personality is the one she actually displays.]]
* SuperSenses: Asuna possesses both super sight and super hearing.
* SuperSpeed: Without using any magic she can run as fast as a professional bike.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Not only is she related to magic, [[spoiler:she's flat out a magical princess.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Her first level in badass was her pactio, her second was in learning kanka and finally after entering the magical world her growth rate skyrocketed [[spoiler:due to subconsciously remembering how to fight]] and ended up about on par with Setsuna [[spoiler:before being captured]].
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Flashbacks show that Asuna originally was a smart-mouthed EmotionlessGirl, but frequent, violent interactions with Ayaka turned her into the cheerful FieryRedhead {{Tsundere}} of today.
* {{Tsundere}}: Aggresive type, though not as exaggerated as [[LoveHina Naru]]. As Negi himself describes her, Asuna is "overbearing, crude and violent", but an incredibly kind and caring CoolBigSis.
* UnskilledButStrong: In sheer specs, she's both quite powerful and fast, but isn't a trained fighter like Kaede or Setsuna. Thus, by the early parts of the Magic World, she appears to be almost on par with Setsuna, supposedly the strongest of Negi's ministra and a skilled shinmeiryu swordsman, simply by virtue of sheer speed and power. [[spoiler:By the ''end'' of the Magic World arc, she appears to be strong enough to actually work as Negi's partner while again showing no real sign of technique.]] Anti magic, of course, adds a great deal of utility to certain possible fights.
* YouCantFightFate: In the first anime's alternate story, Asuna was doomed to die on her 14th birthday due to a DealWithTheDevil so the demons would stop following her and bringing destruction wherever she went. Nagi attempted to save her and was promptly crushed under a bridge. She has to die and comes back in time to break the deal.

[[folder:Sakurazaki Setsuna]]
[[quoteright:292:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2897.JPG]]

Setsuna is a swordsman and exorcist who was friends with Konoka when they were both young. However, she was also supposed to be her bodyguard and after failing to protect her she started to grow distant from Konoka, believing she could guard her better from the shadows. As such, the relationship between them starts strained and Setsuna tends to be very quiet and aloof from the rest of the cast. However, after the relationship between them is mended she starts becoming friends [[ShipTease and possibly more]] with Konoka once more, as well as getting along quite well with Asuna.

Setsuna practices the Shinmeiryuu sword style, a set of techniques designed to allow practitioners to combat demons and spirits. She herself is [[HalfHumanHybrid half]] youkai and an outcast of the Tengu tribe, who feared her white wings, implied to be due to albinism. Though she has a complex about revealing her wings and is further rarely able to do so in public, they give her the ability to fly and are quite strong in combat. Further, she pactios with Negi early on, granting the artifact ''Sica Shishikushiro'', a wakizashi (short sword) that can have up to 16 flying duplicates using her mental power.

->'''Voiced by:''' YuuKobayashi (Japanese), Dana Schultes (English, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!''), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English, ''Negima!?'')
----
* ActionGirl: Fights almost as much as Asuna.
* {{Adorkable}}: Can act like this when her cool demeanor flies out the window in the presence of her [[BodyguardCrush Ojou-sama]].
* AesopAmnesia: After seemingly getting over her self-image issues, she goes right back to being emo a few chapters later. Multiple times.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Setsuna's white wings mark her as an outcast of her species; she even was exiled by her tribe because of it. Viewing herself as an outcast is still an issue for her.
* BadassAdorable: She's one of the top three or four fighters in the group, but contrasting the tall and imposing Kaede she's small and waifish.
* BadassInANiceSuit: During the ball she wears a nice suit rather than a dress. When it's pointed out, she says it's easier to move in. A valid concern at the time.
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' mess with Konoka.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: She fooled everyone that didn't know her while in her male period clothes during her NotADate with Konoka at the cinema town. Plus, they ''did'' [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer make her look fetching]].
* BigDamnKiss: Her Pactio with [[spoiler:Konoka]]. According to Chamo they even broke the length record.
* BodyguardCrush: She is very devoted to Konoka. As early as post Kyoto the romance starts getting teased at.
* ButNowIMustGo: At the end of the Kyoto arc, she tries to run away after revealing herself as a half-Tengu to Negi and co., but gets a lecture from Negi and decides to stay by Konoka's side.
* CantBatheWithoutAWeapon: She bathes with her demon-hunting sword.
* ChekhovsGunman: Akamatsu kept her OutOfFocus until the [[ClassTrip Kyoto arc]]; Negi once referred to her as one of the students he'd like to get to know better. Needless to say, she becomes one of Ala Alba's most trusted fighters.
* CherryBlossomGirl: Her family name contains Sakura, her attacks sometimes have a cherry blossom theme and she at least looks like a YamatoNadeshiko in universe.
* TheComicallySerious: Early in the series, her deadpan attitude comes off as funny in comical situations. It stops once she becomes more relaxed and easily flustered. In the anime ''Negima?!'', most of her funny moments come from her taking everything far too seriously.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Setsuna has a low and powerful voice for such a slender and petite woman, as befits a tough swordswoman. This also extends to the fact that [[{{Bifauxnen}} she can pass for a male]].
* CovertPervert: While detailing Asuna's abilities on a diagram featuring a [[BarbieDollAnatomy naked]] Asuna, she mentions her AntiMagic and her SuperSpeed... and then notes "Bust: Not bad", as well as a reference to Asuna's lack of hair anywhere aside from her scalp. Later, Zazie shows Negi Setsuna's "perfect world" [[spoiler:in the [[LotusEaterMachine Cosmo Entelechia dream world]]]] and apologizes for it being so perverse: Konoka making Setsuna breakfast... while wearing a NakedApron. And later, Setsuna concludes that the best future for her is finally having sex with Konoka.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was exiled from her tribe due to her pure-white wings, which were considered to be a bad omen as she was born into the bird tribe of demons.
* DatePeepers: Joins the other girls watching Negi and Nodoka.
* DeathGlare: Setsuna will give a good one of these to anyone who threatens Konoka.
* DemonSlayer: Setsuna's style of combat was developed specifically to exorcise demons by targeting them instead of the person they were inhabiting.
* DualWielding: She occasionally uses the massive Yuunagi in one hand and either its scabbard or Sica Shishikushiro on the other.
* DyeOrDie: It's implied that she is an [[HeroicAlbino albino]], but she uses hair dye and colored contacts to live in normal society after being exiled her from tribe.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Besides being paired off with Konoka and getting Tsukuyomi's [[PsychoLesbian psychotic attraction]], Setsuna gains the admiration of many girls while wearing a {{Bifauxnen}} outfit.
* TheExile: She was exiled from the crow demon tribe for being a white-feathered half-demon.
* FailureKnight: During several years, she decided to protect Konoka from afar without speaking a word to her due to feeling ashamed of her failure to save Konoka from almost drowning when they were kids. All Konoka wanted was to be friends with Setsuna again.
* FantasticArousal: She appears to consider grooming her wings an intimate act, though since she uses them as shields or weapons they must be fairly insensitive.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her hair, shaped like a single wing, possibly alluding to her halfling heritage.
* FreakinessShame: She's uncomfortable about her wings and half demon heritage. Nobody else minds.
--->'''Setsuna:''' "This is my true form. I'm a monster, just like them. Don't misunderstand, my desire to protect Oujo-sama is real! I've just kept this a secret... because I was afraid she would hate me in this ugly form..."\\
'''Asuna:''' "What are you talking about? I think they're cool!"
* HalfHumanHybrid: A half bird-demon.
* HeroicAlbino: Implied. Eva mentions that she dyes her hair, and asks if she's wearing contacts.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Due to feeling she isn't strong enough to properly protect Konoka, Setsuna has some serious self-worth issues and tends to beat herself up every time she feels she has failed as a warrior, just like when Tsukuyomi nearly defeats her.
* HunterOfHerOwnKind: While she is a half demon herself, Setsuna uses a style of combat that was developed specifically to battle demons.
* IAmWhatIAm: She's ashamed of her white wings, which the tengu believe means she's a sign of ill omen. Her friends tell her it makes her look like an angel and she relaxes about it in front of them, though Eva shows it's still a bit of a sore spot.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Played with. Admits to feeling some attraction towards teenaged Negi, but is pretty clearly a lesbian paired off with Konoka and expressing some attraction towards Asuna.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Shinmeiryuu-style, which allows her to cut twenty-foot balls of solid ice and a HumongousMecha in half.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She's rather socially dense, largely as a result of her having very strong ideas regarding social class. While most people don't seem to be bothered by her formality, those with a perceived higher status tend to get the princess treatment, which they hate. For example, she keeps referring to Konoka as ojou-sama/milady despite Konoka always telling her to use her name and near the end of the manga she even makes Asuna cry by acting like a servant instead of as one of Asuna's closest friends after Asuna is revealed to be [[spoiler:a princess]]. The reaction was exaggerated somewhat to make Setsuna cut it out ''right this instant'', but only a little.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Through the entirety of the manga, she always feels unworthy of Konoka for one reason or the other.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World and her outfit from [[spoiler:her Pactio with Konoka]] have cat ears.
* LadyOfWar: At her best, she looks very graceful while she uses her sword.
* LettingHerHairDown: She starts to stop wearing her hair in a {{Samurai}} style side-pony tail in the later chapters once she starts growing out of her intensely serious, near-deadpan demeanor.
* LonerTurnedFriend: Starts out as a loner FailureKnight, but eventually opens up and becomes close friends with Asuna and Negi.
* LuminescentBlush: Whenever the conversation turns to her relationship with Konoka, she goes bright pink.
* MagicKnight: Chamo calls Setsuna by the trope name after he sees her using spell tags to form a defense.
* MagicPants: Appears to go between releasing her wings by [[SexyBacklessOutfit lifting the back of her shirt]] to having them appear directly through the cloth without tearing.
* MarriedToTheJob: She's very dedicated to her job as a bodyguard and seems to be unable to think of herself as something more than that, which usually makes it hard for her and Konoka to have a normal relationship.
* {{Meido}}: During the TournamentArc, Setsuna and Asuna get pressganged into wearing maid outfits to appeal to the crowd. Also [[spoiler:her outfit from her Pactio with Konoka]].
* MindControlEyes: During her BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind.
* ModestyShorts: She wears cycling shorts under her skirt.
* MyGreatestFailure: Setsuna's initial FailureKnight nature has its roots in an incident where she tried to save Konoka from drowning, fell in herself, and both were rescued by someone else. As a result, Setsuna constantly tries to train harder so it won't happen again.
* PerpetualMolt: Setsuna always leaves a dramatic shower of feathers behind whenever she spreads her wings.
* ThePioneer: [[spoiler:According to the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, she became one of the most famous first-generation pilots of the space age.]]
* PlayboyBunny: During the early Mahorafest arc, she gets dragged into a playboy bunny outfit. Chao snickers at her when she tries to use a cool line.
* PowerGivesYouWings: In ''Negima!?'' her wings come from her pactio card.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: She is considered beautiful because of her incredibly pale skin and raven-black hair. However, it's implied that she actually has [[HeroicAlbino white hair]].
* {{Sarashi}}: A trained swordswoman who wears the sarashi bra version.
* SchoolgirlLesbians: The subtext of her relationship with Konoka just kept getting more and more obvious, leading all the way to [[spoiler:the Pactio with one of the longest kisses ever]], then continues getting more blatant with Setsuna's CovertPervert fantasy sequences. [[TransparentCloset You're not fooling anyone there, Setsuna.]] This becomes MORE obvious in Negima?! and is the subject of several eyecatches.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: She is almost always seen wearing her school uniform.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: The traditional clothes of her people.
* SlipknotPonytail: When Chao wants to show that Setsuna can't match her, she casually yanks off her hair band before Setsuna even notices.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She tries to show herself as a cold and levelheaded swordswoman, but she is actually very kind and caring. Konoka knows it and usually tries to bring out her warmer side.
* SuperSenses: Setsuna's Ki allows her to at least triple her senses.
* ThunderShock: At one point she makes a terrible joke and has to apologize for it after the thunder disappears.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's mostly a serious, samurai-like ActionGirl and seems to feel comfortable to wear masculine clothing on occasion, but she still has her has her bouts of girliness.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Started as cold as ice due to seeing herself as a FailureKnight, but after the events of the Kyoto Arc, she opened up a lot more and became friendlier. Lampshaded by Evangeline during their match in the Mahora Festival TournamentArc.
* TransparentCloset: Setsuna is so obviously lesbian for her "{{Ojou}}-sama" Konoka that practically everyone knows it despite her frequent denials.
* TsurimeEyes: She had much sharper eyes early on as a way to mark her as the serious and distant ActionGirl obsessed with maintaining her abilities as a swordswoman she was at the beginning and to contrast Konoka's TaremeEyes. When she starts letting her emotions out, they become noticeably rounder.
* WaifFu: She has a thin build and is quite short, but she's quite strong. However, she favors skill based techniques rather than strength.
* WingedHumanoid: Due to being a half bird-demon, Setsuna has a pair of wings that she can summon at will. Occasionally, Setsuna will have her wings in a cute little 'cupid' form, although this might just be for laughs.
* WingPull: During the end of the Kyoto trip Setsuna was forced to reveal the wings she normally keeps hidden.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Chamo thought she ''looked'' like one at first. She's not even close, though.

[[folder:Hasegawa Chisame]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2398.JPG]]

The only character without a WeirdnessCensor, Chisame was introduced as a strange girl with a [[LivingADoubleLife double life]] -- a grumpy loner at school, but also internet idol "Chiu" at home. Her initial function was to [[MetaGuy snark about the implausibility]] of the situations she finds herself roped in, and initially tries [[AgentScully to deny or devise a mundane explanation]] for the supernatural events she witness, until Chachamaru confirms that she is indeed a robot, that Negi is also a powerful mage, and that she stumbled upon a plot to reveal magic to the world. Chisame thus gets involved in the plot to help maintain the life she's familiar with.

->'''Voiced by:''' Yumi Shimura (Japanese) and Creator/CaitlinGlass (English)
----
* ActionSurvivor: She's a relatively normal girl who's forced into the magical world to survive on her own, which she manages with Negi's help.
* ApathyKilledTheCat: Played with. She seems like she's trying to avoid how things work, but at the same time she's the only one who actually seems to think it matters.
* ButtMonkey: Bad things just happen to her, though it's rarely serious.
* CantStayNormal: A more reluctant example, having been metaphorically dragged down to paranormal kicking and screaming before leaping out to gasp for air, only to discover that air is now too easy and boring, and therefore ending up in a combination of being dragged down again and saying "the hell with it".
* CosplayOtakuGirl: The first time she's a focus character, she was dressing up in various costumes for her website.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Yue, Chisame had a tendency early on to lampshade the absurdity of the situation. Unlike Yue, she really grew into the role rather than slowly losing it. This is about ten times funnier when she's in her Chiu outfit.
* TheDragAlong: Post Mahorafest she wanted to stay by herself and keep out of the group, but Chachamaru always dragged her along. When Chachamaru apparently briefly quits it, she gets bored and comes along voluntarily.
* {{Expy}}: Like Asuna, Akamatsu considers her an expy of Naru from ''LoveHina'', though of 'nerdy Naru' as opposed to Asuna's 'protective Naru.'
* GenericCuteness: She's ''supposed'' to have bad skin and pimples, but it doesn't show. Of course, the only one who actually claims that is herself, and she has notably low self esteem concerning her looks.
* GenreSavvy: While it doesn't help her much, she often predicts how events will turn sour for her. As the resident MetaGirl, she also often points tropes out.
* GirlishPigtails: In her child form.
* GreenEyedMonster: She often gets jealous when seeing Negi with other girls.
* {{Hikikomori}}: Left to her own devices she stays inside all day on the internet, though she only gets angry rather than anxious if taken out. [[spoiler:Gets worse post university.]]
* IdiotHair: She has one and she's the only class member without a WeirdnessCensor.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Frequently loudly moans about how she wants all the magic to go away and leave her alone [[spoiler:but she's lying; She's perfectly content with how involved she is.]]
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Cat ears and a tail in the Magic World.
* LittleMissSnarker: Thanks to some liberal use of age changing pills, she looks a 10 year old girl and is still as snarky as ever.
* LivingADoubleLife: A grumpy loner at school and the internet idol "Chiu" at home.
* MetaGal: She knows all about how fantasy stories go, which really helps her keep up with everything going on.
* NerdGlasses: She doesn't actually need them, but likes to hide behind them.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Most notably when [[spoiler: Poyo's LotusEaterMachine]] proves that she's the happiest and most satisfied with living in a FantasyKitchenSink of anyone in the group.
* OnlySaneWoman: Or so she wants to be. Negi seems to think so, considering he's more or less appointed her as his [[LizLemonJob "voice of reason"]], at least until [[spoiler:they rescue Asuna]].
* PlayboyBunny: One of Chiu's costumes.
* PlayfulHacker: Falls under this when she's not being the MetaGal.
* ProudToBeAGeek: Even as grumpy as she is, she loves being a geek.
* PurelyAestheticGlasses: She actually has ''better'' than average vision, and uses the glasses to hide behind.
* RapunzelHair: It reaches her waist.
* RefusalOfTheCall: She fights to get away from the weirdness, at first.
* TheSnarkKnight: ''Extremely'' distant and snarky when formally introduced. Her attitude gradually toned down quite a bit as she integrated into the central cast, but she still qualifies.
* StraightMan: One of the most normal people in the series. Or at least, the only one who seems to notice how crazy everything is. She even points out the weirdness of her class in her focus episode in the anime.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Acts as one for Asuna during the Mundus Magicus arc before Negi meets up with her again. After that she shifts roles slightly into more of an adviser rather than directly limiting his actions. Lampshaded by Jack.
* {{Technopath}}: Chisame's artifact allows a mental internet link.
* TechnoWizard: Becomes one after her pactio.
* TemptingFate: She shouldn't have joked about fighting someone in the middle of a conspiracy. Or about making a Pactio.
* {{Tsundere}}: Described as a borderline case by Akamatsu. She actually likes the Ala Alba group, Chachamaru and Negi quite a bit, but since she's naturally abrasive she hates to show it. She also can get even more violent than Asuna when it comes to Negi.
* {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs, but during her focus chapter post-Mundus Magicus she was talking about pulling an "IfICantHaveYou" on Negi.
--> '''Chisame:''' "Oh yeah, you're gonna get stabbed and killed one day! No, I'm going to stab you and then I'll die too."

[[folder:Inugami Kotarō]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00228867_2235.jpg]]

Negi's [[FireForgedFriends best friend]] and [[TheRival rival]] ever since he got [[DefeatMeansFriendship pummelled by him]] during the Kyoto ClassTrip. In many ways, he's a textbook {{shonen}} action protagonist, and often contrasted to Negi, to whom he sometimes (futilely) tries teaching how to act like a [[IdiotHero brash and overconfident]] hero rather than a meek and [[{{Keigo}} polite]] BadassBookworm. Kotaro is still in the 'girls have cooties' stage of development, though Chizuru and Natsumi become surrogate older sisters for him.

As he's [[HalfHumanHybrid Half]]-[[{{Inugami}} Dog Demon]], he can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting change shape]]. Usually, he looks human, except for [[LittleBitBeastly his ears and tail]], but can transform into a giant wolf-like dog or [[WolfMan something in between]]. He favors pure hand to hand combat, but also has the ability to control dog familiars and shadows.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue (Japanese)
----
* AdaptedOut: Didn't appear in the anime until the new OAD series.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Because of being a half youkai, he was an outcast of both human and youkai tribes. This makes him value both his friendship with Negi, and living with Chizuru and Natsumi, as they become the only true friends or family he's ever had.
* AnimalStereotypes: He styles himself as a [[IWorkAlone lone wolf]], but often lapses into [[IncrediblyLamePun doggishness]] and ends up being "domesticated" by Chizuru and Natsumi.
* {{Animorphism}}: Puppy when powers sealed, giant wolf when fully released.
* BattleAura: When unleashing his Shadow Hounds.
* BigEater: He eats a lot.
* BishieSparkle: In his teenaged form.
* {{Bishonen}}: His teenage form, much like Negi.
* BloodKnight: He loves fighting, though mostly because, as he admits, fighting is really the only thing he knows.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's rough and loud, but friendly to his allies.
* BrattyHalfPint: He's portrayed as a loud, overconfident, immature and troublesome kid, especially in his earlier appearances. This is why [[{{Shotacon}} Ayaka]] can't stand him. Some CharacterDevelopment allows him to become more mature.
* CanisMajor: His strongest form Kuon Eisou, in which he completely transforms into a wolf beast.
* CastingAShadow: He has the ability to summon vast swarms of autonomous spirit wolves made of darkness/shadow.
* ChasteHero: Just like Negi, he's oblivious to the romance thing because he hasn't even hit puberty yet.
* ChickMagnet: He attracts nearly as many ladies as Negi at the ball.
* CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: Carries Asuna's {{BFS}} between his teeth in the Magic World tournament. Not that he had much of a choice since [[spoiler:he had transformed into his monster wolf form]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: Post-HeelFaceTurn since his secondary skillset is shadow based KiAttacks.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Right before [[spoiler:their Pactio]], Kotaro tells Natsumi he will protect her because she's like family to him.
* {{Expy}}: By WordOfGod and obvious character design, he's a clear expy of Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'s eponymous character.
* GirlsHaveCooties: Plays this fairly straight (especially the romance thing), with a few exceptions in his adoptive sisters and girls who can fight. That said, he still thinks kissing is gross.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A Half-Dog Demon.
* HarbingerOfImpendingDoom: He returns after the Kyoto arc by being found injured by Chizuru and Natsumi.
* HealingFactor: He explains it as an "ability of the Inugami clan". It's not Wolverine-class, but he's taken multiple swords to the chest and recovered.
* HeelFaceTurn: He first appeared as one of [[StarterVillain Chigusa's lackeys]].
* HotBlooded: He is much more of a classic shounen protagonist than Negi himself.
* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: During the tournament finals, Kotaro gets the unfortunate role of punching bag while Negi sets up for the finishing techniques. The mauling he gets is quite brutal.
* IdiotHero: A proud and acknowledged one.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He hurts Natsumi's feelings without realizing it when [[spoiler:he says that having to form a Pactio with her is gross. After a series of misunderstandings, he explains to her that he meant that [[GirlsHaveCooties he thinks kissing is gross]], not kissing her in particular.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rough, likes to fight and is much less of an overall NiceGuy than Negi, but still a good guy.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: He speaks with this kind of accent.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: He has dog ears and a tail.
* TheLancer: Contrasting Negi, he's much more aggressive and impulsive, though he's still the closest thing Negi has to a partner after Asuna.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Between Kyoto and Graf Wilhelm, his memory is briefly wiped to prevent him leaking information.
* LimitedWardrobe: He always wears the same casual attire.
* LonerTurnedFriend: Kotaro never had any friends before meeting Negi.
* MagicPants: His pants remain perfectly intact as he transforms into his beast form.
* MeaningfulName: "Inugami" means "dog spirit".
* MonsterRoommate: Chizuru and Natsumi find an abandoned puppy, which turns into a little boy with a tail and sharp claws. They basically adopt him.
* MrFanservice: What else do you call wearing a black leather jacket, black leather pants, sneakers and no shirt paired with said jacket?
* NoSocialSkills: Having been abandoned as a child and spent his whole life doing anything normal besides training to fight, Kotaro doesn't know how to socialize with people very well.
* ObliviousToLove: He doesn't understand why Natsumi has {{Luminescent Blush}}es and shows {{Tsundere}} tendencies when he's around her.
* OlderAlterEgo: His teenaged form "Kojirou".
* TheRival: To Negi.
* SarcasticDevotee: He always insults Negi, but he is also one of his most loyal friends.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Explicitly states that his school uniform is his battle garb.
* SexierAlterEgo: His teenaged form "Kojirou" can be quite charming in a bad boy sort of way. Natsumi gets really flustered around him and even tends to forget his real age.
* ShonenHair: He has spiky black hair like the stereotypical shounen protagonist.
* ShortHairWithTail: He has a tail tied at the nape of his neck coming from his ShonenHair.
* StreetUrchin: His backstory.
* TastesLikeFriendship: Kotaro is first greeted by Chizuru and Natsumi with a homecooked meal (after an appetizer of MarshmallowHell); his constant complimenting of Chizuru's cooking pretty much seals it.
* WalkingTheEarth: At least seven years after Class 3-A's graduation, he simply ran off for some "ninja training". [[spoiler:Natsumi would follow suit, and after years of BelligerentSexualTension, they finally marry.]]
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: He even asks IsItSomethingYouEat. By the ball he acknowledges familial love.
* WouldntHitAGirl: It's actually presented as a deeply stupid comportment, and several of the {{Action Girl}}s like Kaede have tried to ''literally'' beat it out of him.

[[folder:Miyazaki Nodoka]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_9591.JPG]]

Nodoka is a quiet and seemingly shy girl in the Library Exploration Club. She quickly develops a crush on Negi and forms a pactio during the Kyoto arc, gaining an artifact that allows her to read minds, which she uses to help acquire information for the group. Despite her ShrinkingViolet attitude, she's actually quite bold when it comes to pursuing Negi. She's normally associated with her club mates and close friends Yue and Haruna.

->'''Voiced by:''' MamikoNoto (Japanese) and Creator/LeahClark (English)
----
* ACupAngst: She laments her small bust size once.
* ApologisesALot: Especially when she's either thinking an improper thought, or using her mind-reading ability in a diabolical manner (what else to be expected from a ShrinkingViolet?)
* CovertPervert: Despite her looks and usual personality, her subconscious tends to have some rather filthy fantasies, up to and including devising a kind of [[ThreesomeSubtext menage a trois]] as a solution to her LoveTriangle with Yue; thanks to Diarium Ejus, she is aware of and mortified by her subconscious' rather direct approaches to such things. And so is everybody who was reading over her shoulder.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and eyes.
* CuteBookworm: She's shy, quiet and is part of a club devoted to exploring the library.
* DesignatedVictim: During the Magic World, she's first attacked by bounty hunters to lure out Kaede and Setsuna and later Shirabe, Fate and Dynamis all make attempts to eliminate her due to her mind reading artifact.
* DoesNotLikeMen: In the anime she had a level of androphobia.
* DoggedNiceGirl: In fact, Nodoka was the ''first'' girl in the class to confess her feelings to Negi all the way back in the Kyoto arc.
* {{Expy}}: She's clearly one to Akamatsu's earlier character, [[Manga/LoveHina Shinobu Maehara]]. They look extremely similar and have the same shy, quiet attitude. Both are also know to be {{Covert Pervert}}s.
* HeroicBSOD: After seeing [[spoiler:Craig and Aisha get erased from existence]] in front of her her mind shuts down and Asakura is seemingly left alone desperately trying to think of a way out. She quickly recovers, however, and [[spoiler:steals Dynamis' Grandmaster Key.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Not that good at receiving praise, even if it was well-earned.
* HiddenEyes: She started with [[BlindingBangs very long bangs obscuring her eyes]], to highlight her terminal shyness. As her shyness subsided, she [[PeekABangs first became cyclopean]] then was drawn normally.
* IdiotHair: She has one.
* InSeriesNickname: "Hon'ya", Japanese for "Bookstore" or potentially Bookstore keeper. The English translation at first [[InconsistentDub jumped back and forth]] between "Librarian", "Bookshop", and variants thereof before eventually settling on the literal translation, "Bookstore". It can also mean "bookworm" (the "ya" being sometimes indicative of a character trait or an deep interest in something).
* LivingLieDetector: Diarium Ejus can read minds with a great deal of detail, so in situations where she's safe from retaliation it makes her excellent at information recovery with no chance of misinformation.
* {{Munchkin}}: After being separated from the group in Mundus Magicus she joined a group of treasure hunters. She eschews any valuable treasure, instead aiming for ''Comptina Daemonia'' and ''Auris Recitans''. These items' powers combine with her Diarium Ejus to make it useful in real time instead of having to rely on the target willingly giving up their name and letting Nodoka sit down and read.
* NiceGirl: She's gentle and supportive even of her love rivals.
* PeekABangs: After opening up a little her eyes begin appearing more and more until finally the bangs essentially vanish.
* PluckyGirl: Negi getting his ass kicked by Fate? She gets Kotaro to teleport her in right next to Fate to figure out his plan. [[spoiler:Friends get erased from existence right in front of her]]? Panic for a few seconds, then [[spoiler:read his mind, steal his key and teleport to safety with critical information.]] Just because she's quiet doesn't mean she's a coward.
* ShrinkingViolet: Subverted. She's quite shy, but it's note that she's actually very assertive when it comes to pursuing Negi including a quick confession and getting a date in during Mahorafest. There's a reason her Pactio card lists "courage" as her virtue.
* WeakButSkilled: She has no combat abilities, very little magic, and effectively no experience. She does, however, have a mind reading artifact that allows her exploit an enemy's weak points in order to avoid their attacks despite being far slower and weaker than they are.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple, to be precise. (becomes blue in Negima?! though)

[[folder:Ayase Yue]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_1503.JPG]]

Yue is an [[TeenGenius extremely intelligent]] but cynical girl with [[BrilliantButLazy demotivation]] issues stemming from [[ParentalAbandonment the death of her beloved grandfather]]. She's normally quiet, distant and snarky but very supportive of her friends and Nodoka in particular, who reached out to her when she was isolated. This has some emotional consequences for her when she ends up in a LoveTriangle with her and Negi, who is largely oblivious. Most people find it difficult to read her emotions.

Yue has a fair talent for magic, but her primary strength is her intellect and quick thinking skills, which allow her to quickly come up with strategies.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsukoKuwatani (Japanese) and Creator/BrinaPalencia (English)
----
* ACupAngst: From early on, she's sure she's unattractive with her childlike body.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She's not that strong even after the Ariadne arc, but she's ''very'' well prepared and thinks things through far further ahead than almost anyone else in the story, including preparing multiple contingency spells upon seeing [[spoiler:an electric Averruncus.]]
* BadassBack: Intercepts a shadow puppet coming up behind her with her massive Ariadne sword.
* BadassBookworm: She's tiny and looks weak, but is actually a part of the library exploration club and has some pretty good survival skills. She also ends up becoming a fairly competent mage.
* BookDumb: She's one of the smartest girls in the class, but she gets poor grades and is one of the baka rangers. It's implied on occasion though that she just doesn't like studying mundane subjects. Her position in the philosophy club might play a role in this.
* BrilliantButLazy: The reason for her poor grades is that for a TeenGenius, Yue is also ''extremely'' unmotivated and she refuses to put any effort in. Once she gets a goal she wants to accomplish, she can learn in mere weeks what takes others years.
* CannotSpitItOut: She spends a good two or three hundred chapters unable to admit her feelings to Negi for him despite everyone, even rivals, telling her to do it.
* CovertPervert: If [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg59/Xophien/KamoRankings.jpg Chamo's charts]] are accurate, her ero rating is slightly less than Nodoka, and on par with ''Evangeline''.
* CrazyPrepared: She predicted that [[spoiler:Quintum]] would leave her paralyzed and cast a paralysis release spell in herself. Furthermore, she had sixteen predictions of how [[spoiler:Quintum]] would take them down, and it's highly possible that she had prepared countermeasures for each outcome.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and eyes. In Negima?! she gains purple stockings.
* CuteWitch: Her pactio outfit puts her in a cute witch outfit complete with black witch's hat.
* DarkMagicalGirl: Yue rarely expresses real concern about the danger she's in, but at the thought she might have hurt or offended Nodoka she's reduced to tears. Nodoka was the first person to really approach her during an isolated time of her life.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's almost always very flat and emotionless looking to go along with her sarcastic side.
* DullSurprise: In ''Negima!?'', in one of the early omake segments with the Baka Rangers, while the Bakas make ready to fight their enemies, with Yue wanting to call their "giant robot", Makie is complaining that she [[RunningGag never got to do her introduction properly]]. The Baka Rangers agree to let her go first (she had been last every time). She tries to do so, [[BrickJoke and the giant robot foot comes down on Makie]], [[RunningGag interrupting her]].
-->'''Yue:''' [[DullSurprise Hey guys,]] [[CaptainObvious the robot's here]].
* EmotionlessGirl: Not really emotionless, but much more stoic than her friends, due to showing the same blasé face most of the time. It's lampshaded during the exploration of Library Island.
-->'''Konoka:''' You're really excited aren't you?\\
'''Yue:''' … hehe, does it show that much?\\
'''Asuna:''' (thinking) No it doesn't, she just has the same expression as usual…
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Haruna [[LampShadeHanging lampshades]] this trope after observing the [[ClingyJealousGirl various reactions]] of Yue's mini-harem to Yue. Needless to say, Yue isn't amused at all.
* {{Expy}}: On top of her basic physical design, she matches the [[TheQuietOne quiet]] [[SugarAndIcePersonality and reserved]] nature of VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'s Patchouli Knowledge. She's also a magical librarian and tends to wear the same outfits.
* ForeheadOfDoom: Her hair keeps her bangs out of her forehead, leaving a giant forehead for all to see.
* GagBoobs: In her Drama CD, Collette points out to Yue how small-chested she is and wants to fix it, prompting her, Emily, and Beatrix to "help" her. We all know how this ends.
* GenreSavvy: In the first season of the anime, Yue is the only person to figure out that the "Negi" who has her isn't really him. How can she tell? He starts showing more of an interest in her.
* HeroicBSOD: When Nodoka finds out about Yue's crush on Negi, Yue completely freaks out, believing Nodoka will hate her because of "betraying" her and says she would rather [[DrivenToSuicide "disappear"]] than losing Nodoka's friendship. She only calms down after Nodoka's GetAHoldOfYourselfMan.
* HighPressureEmotion: Twice in rapid succession after meeting up with Negi again, though one could say it's just one continuous moment. Doesn't mean it's not ridiculously cute and funny, especially given Collet and Emily's reactions.
* HotWitch: In the DistantFinale she's grown quite a bit taller and has more adult proportions.
* IdiotHair: Subverted. She has the hair and is one of the baka rangers, but that's actually due to nearly going out of her way to do badly.
* InSeriesNickname: Yuecchi, Yuekichi and a few more in regards to her height and [[ForeheadOfDoom large forehead]]. [[EmbarrassingNickname She isn't fond of the latter nicknames.]]
* InsecureLoveInterest: Yue spends a couple of chapters angsting about how she can't confess to Negi simply because she can't remember the reason why she fell for him in the first place. She also states that "nobody would lay eyes on this body".
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She only wishes for Negi to be happy with Nodoka, though Nodoka actually seems to get tired of her passivity.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Once she got in on the {{Masquerade}}.
* LittleMissBadass: Being vertically challenged doesn't prevent her from cementing her status on this page amongst her fellow {{Badass}} [[TrueCompanions Companions]] through a series of {{Awesome Moments}}.
* LittleMissSnarker: She's small and tends to be quietly sarcastic.
* LonerTurnedFriend: In her backstory, she used to be a loner, Nodoka was the first person to befriend her.
* MagicKnight: After her training at Ariadne she becomes a fairly good mage and acquires a massive sword.
* MarilynManeuver: Once did it to herself by accident when trying to demonstrate a spell.
* MatchmakerCrush: Tries to help Nodoka win over Negi, but then there's [[LoveTriangle the issue of her own growing feelings for him]].
* NewTransferStudent: Yue got to play the part for a while in the Magic World.
* OccultDetective: After the TimeSkip at the end of the manga.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She's fifteen, but looks only slightly older than Negi.
* ParentalAbandonment: The death of her beloved grandfather had such a negative effect on her that she shut herself off from the rest of the world. Since he's the only family member mentioned in Yue's life, it's possible he was the only one she had.
* ThePhilosopher: She normally averts the inaction bit of the trope, but it's noted that for all her high speed thinking she tends to get sidetracked and think about pointless things easily.
* PottyEmergency: Since she drinks juice so often she always seems to be in the bathroom. [[spoiler:Becomes a notable weak-point when consuming her large potion in 354.]] It's suggested that Yue wears more "adult" underwear as a result.
* PuttingOnMyThinkingCap: She seems to have the most going on in her head when she's calmly sipping an odd drink of some kind with a slightly blank look in her eyes.
* RapunzelHair: Down to her waist until the end of the manga.
* RedMage: While she primarily favors offensive magic, she also has a number of support and healing spells.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Her default pactio outfit gives her a long, open robe and a witch's hat.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: Her lack of height is the most emphasized in the main cast and she's also the most analytical and intelligent barring Negi himself.
* TheSnarkKnight: Initially a textbook example, complete with frequent thoughts of being "{{surrounded by idiots}}". These wanes later on, as she became part of the main group and developed a crush on Negi, though she's still quick to dissociate herself from the group whenever the insanity becomes overwhelming.
* TheStoic: She tends to be very calm and in control of her emotions [[NotSoStoic until she feels she's let Nodoka down]] or [[LuminescentBlush Negi gets too charming.]] She also doesn't handle [[spoiler:Emily's apparent death]] well either.
* StraightMan: In contrast to the quiet and polite Nodoka and the ridiculous Haruna, Yue tends to be quietly sarcastic.
* StrawNihilist: She pretty much felt that the world was without meaning following the death of her grandfather. Luckily, she got better when she befriended Nodoka, Haruna, and Konoka.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She appears to be [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless]], but she cares very much about her friends and being part of a LoveTriangle with her best friend causes her to break down and reveal a very warm side.
* TeenGenius: Not only is Yue one of the smartest girls in Class 3-A, she's also one of the smartest characters in the entire series.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: She once cheated during a pillow fight by hiding thick dictionaries in her pillows.
* TookALevelInBadass: At the start of the series she was a muggle and before going to the magic world she still wasn't as good as Negi was at the beginning of the series.
** Once in the Magic World, however, she enrolled in the Ariadne Academy for knights due to amnesia based lack of direction. With her memories not holding her effort back, she puts in some amazingly hard work and within about a month becomes the academy's top student [[spoiler:and planning out the successful defeat of a griffin dragon.]]
** During the chapters of the manga there's a brief skip forward to what Yue is doing now. [[spoiler:She has invented a completely safe, liquid-based Magia Erebea-like spell storage and release system. While she doesn't seem to get the physical benefits Negi does, Yue also doesn't seem to get any of the physical detriments. All she needs to do is take a swig of a potion, and she has a bunch of spells for instant cast whenever the hell she wants. Damn Yue.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's often shown with a juice of outlandish composition in hand, though the actual contents are always different.
* TransformationSequence: In her spin-off {{OVA}} she gets a long pactio equipping scene. Her bra seems to pity her.
* TsurimeEyes: Fitting with her snarky and unsocial nature are her serious looking eyes.
* VerbalTic: Overuses ''desu'' and speaks like [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness an encyclopedia]].
* WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have much in the way of raw power yet, but she's already an expert in magical theory despite the short time she's had to really learn about it. [[spoiler:Taking down a griffin dragon with a ceremonial knife by exploiting tiny weak points? Yes, please.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: Future Yue's potion power-up comes with one major weakness, namely that she only has so much time before all that liquid she drinks runs its course and leaves her with the natural consequences.
* WorthlessForeignDegree: In the epilogue Yue runs into this problem as [[{{Terraform}} ISS]][[SpaceElevator DA]] didn't accept her degree and career history from MagicWorld.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is purple.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Wears thigh high black stockings, which are purple in Negima?!

[[folder:Karakuri Chachamaru]]
[[quoteright:284:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_4046.JPG]]

Chachamaru is a robot designed by Chao and Hakase with a magic based power source fueled by Evangeline, her master. Despite looking older than many of her classmates, she is in fact the youngest person in the cast at only two years of age. She tends to appear emotionless, but is very kind and helpful. She also likes to tease Evangeline with a completely straight face. She has a crush on Negi, which causes issues for her since she's forced into conflict with him twice before she's able to act as an ally. During the second incident she makes friends with Chisame despite the latter's irritation with anything outside the ordinary, which definitely extends to humanoid robots going to middle school.

Chachamaru is designed to be quite tough and appears to know some form of martial arts. She also has many weapons hidden inside her body and as a robot has information warfare capabilities.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkenoWatanabe (Japanese) and Creator/CaitlinGlass (English)
----
* ActionGirl: She was Negi's entrance exam for Eva's training. Later, she beats up a dragon.
* {{Adorkable}}: She has her moments of cute awkwardness, especially around Negi.
* AnimalMotifs: She has an association with the better qualities of cats. They even feature into her pactio.
* ArmCannon: Part of her new {{Swiss Army Appendage}}s from her MidSeasonUpgrade.
* BadassAdorable: This RobotGirl can make [[spoiler:a KillSat]] look really cute.
* BadLiar: When her teasing antics are turned against her, she gets badly flustered and makes some incredibly transparent denials.
* BareYourMidriff: In her Pactio outfit.
* BerserkButton: Trying to harm a sick Negi while Chachamaru is around is a very bad idea. It's perhaps the only time [[NiceGirl Chachamaru]] has actually looked angry.
* {{BFG}}: Her body contains weaponry and thus she can morph her arm into a cannon.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Part of her new {{Swiss Army Appendage}}s from her MidSeasonUpgrade.
* BloodFromTheMouth: After Quartum [[spoiler:cuts her in two]] she begins leaking hydraulic fluid from her mouth since she doesn't have actual blood.
* CatGirl: Of the LittleBitBeastly variety; when her Pactio card is engaged she gains kitty ears.
* CovertPervert: She feels pleasure from being refueled via the key in the back of her head, which grows more intense as more magic energy is put in. After Negi fails to realize the awkward parts of this she apparently starts looking forward to it, which Asakura teases her about. For her part, she wonders if she's heading down the wrong path in life.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and eyes.
* EmotionlessGirl: Although she is less 'emotionless' and more 'expressionless'. She has emotions, but her face doesn't display it very well.
* EyeBeams: One of her abilities. She frequently uses these for her ranged attacks.
* FanservicePack: Halfway through the story, Hakase equips her with a realistic skin to hide her robotic body, making her look like, well, pretty much a normal woman. It doesn't take long for it to be shown in a bath scene.
* FantasticArousal: The key winding gives physical pleasure similar to that of a pactio, only it lasts longer, can be more intense if more energy is added and has to be done every day if she's to be in top performance.
* FriendToAllChildren: When Negi and Asuna followed her in an early chapter, they found her surrounded by a lot of children who're playing with her while she goes around doing good deeds, like handing a balloon stuck in a tree back to the little girl who lost it.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Along with helping all the townspeople as above, she also feeds a ton of cats, which all seem to love her.
* TheGadfly: After awhile it becomes clear that she's apparently fond of teasing Eva in a completely deadpan manner.
* GlassCannon: [[spoiler:Al-Iskandariya is quite possibly Ala Alba's most powerful weapon but it does nothing for her defenses. So with a full power blast, she not only knocked out Fate's shields, she knocked him out for a good ten minutes. In a single blow. And was immediately hit with a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Quartum.]]
* HasTwoMommies: Hakase and Chao worked together to build Chachamaru with a little support from Evangeline on the power source. The former two are considered her parents and the latter her master.
* HimeCut: One of her YamatoNadeshiko traits.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: She's uncomfortable with showing her body when it looks obviously robotic, but after she gets artificial skin she's completely confused by Negi asking her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn.
* KindheartedCatLover: One of the first hints we get that Chachamaru is a lot nicer than being the minion of a vampire lord would suggest is her attitude towards cats.
* {{Magitek}}: She runs partially on magic.
* MeaningfulName: "Cha" is a common pronunciation of the Japanese character for "tea"; "karakuri" literally translates into "mechanism". The translated title for her pactio, Dreaming Doll, also ties in to her character arc.
* MoralityPet: Evangeline's treatment of her is one of the many signs that [[NobleDemon she's not as evil as she says]]. Sure, she picks on her, but she's also nearly her mother.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: She came into conflict with Negi twice despite her obvious feelings for him. Both times because were because she was unwilling to act against her parents or master.
* MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat: Apparently [[TheGadfly just to pick on them]] Chachamaru at one point starts indicating the obvious signs of attraction the girls are feeling.
* PickYourHumanHalf: When the series started, she had obvious mechanical joints, antenna ears and with only a human looking face, but also possessed the full emotional spectrum even if she couldn't always express it well. Later, though, she does look more or less completely human, retaining only the ears.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair acts as heat dissipator; thus the longer her hair, the greater the exposed surface area and thus increased efficiency in heat dissipation.
* RescueRomance: Chachamaru started to have interest in Negi after he [[TakingTheBullet took the bullet]] from his own attack after he couldn’t bring himself to hurt her.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: She wasn't ''supposed'' to be one, [[InstantAIJustAddWater but she is]]. Hakase programmed her with rudimentary emotions and to mimic human activities she cannot perform otherwise like drinking tea, but she was ''not'' supposed to develop subjectivity, which is the basis of the majority of her CharacterDevelopment.
* {{Robosexual}}: Teased at. She has obvious feelings for Negi and feels an equivalent to sexual pleasure, but the idea of making a move on him doesn't even seem to occur to her. As far as being 'anatomically correct' goes, she refused upgrades several times.
* RobotGirl: She is a very beautiful female magic robot.
* RobotHair: She has hair which is [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair pastel green]]. It's a synthetic material which functions as her heat sink, but only the color visually distinguishes it from normal hair.
* RobotNames: To clarify the above, "Karakuri" means "mechanism".
* RocketPunch: Usually played for laughs, such as punching Hakase for checking out her memory files that she wanted kept private.
* SexySecretary: Volunteers to work as Negi's secretary while [[spoiler:works on the space elevator plan.]] It's a long term project with a lot of work involved and therefore suitable for an immortal being that doesn't require sleep.
* StatuesqueStunner: She is 174cm tall and has one of the more adult figures of the class.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's obviously a kind person and recognized as such, but she's almost always monotone and expressionless if not at an emotional peak.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Her new body's arms can [[MorphWeapon morph]] into [[ArmCannon assault rifles]] or [[BladeBelowTheShoulder swords]] -- and morph [[ShapeshifterWeapon ''back'' into arms]].
* SymbolicBlood: After [[spoiler:being bisected by Quatrum]] she "bleeds" coolant.
* TinmanTypist: This is how she fights in the Mahora Battle.
* UnusualEars: Her ears are actually antennae. Chisame is frustrated that she's the [[MetaGuy only one who seems to notice this]].
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Played with. Because she can take more damage it's not unusual for this to be shown. [[spoiler:She gets cut in half by Quartum at one point because he doesn't view her as alive. The scene is completely brutal with the level of violence inflicted upon her viewed as being as unacceptable as happening to anyone else especially with the damage shown: Her innards are showing, including a structural spine and SymbolicBlood everywhere.]]
* WildCard: Because of the whole "MyMasterRightOrWrong" thing conflicting with her desire to help Negi it becomes difficult to guess how she'll act until the Magic World arc begins.
* WindUpKey: She needs to be wound up every so often. It feels very good to her, so it often causes her embarrassment in the hands of an overenthusiastic winder.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Seeing as how she was created to be acquiescent, it is not surprising that she would have this sort of SilkHidingSteel programming; she fits many of the physical requirements as well. She's also part of the same tea ceremony club as Evangeline.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has long green hair.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: The only character who is younger than Negi because she was built to look the age she does. During the ball, she also points out to an angsting Natsumi that she isn't the only one with issues. She's two years old, so what life experience could she have?
* ZettaiRyouiki: Apparently a permanent fixture in her synthetic skin. With [[FingerlessGloves Fingerless]] OperaGloves to match.

[[folder:Konoe Konoka]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2970.JPG]]

Asuna's bubbly, [[GenkiGirl energetic]] friend and roommate. She's the heir of a rich and prominent noble family, specifically a fictionalized version of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konoe_family Konoe family]] itself a branch of the ancient and aristocratic Fujiwara clan which has provided marriages for the Imperial family and once effectively ruled Japan. She is also granddaughter of Mahora's Headmaster, Konoemon. Unknown to her, they are also a line of powerful magi, and she has the potential to match her ancestors: Her raw magical capacity surpasses that of Negi himself, though she isn't able to utilize it particularly well for combat purposes.

After being let in on the secret, she started training to become the group medic, though her role gradually lessened into orbiting around Setsuna.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiNonaka (Japanese) and Creator/MonicaRial (English)
----

* DatePeepers: Watching Negi and Nodoka.
* DontCallMeSir: She doesn't like being called ojou-sama by Setsuna.
* FortuneTeller: She likes to tell fortunes as a hobby, but most of the time she makes things up out of pure amusement. This occasionally crosses into TheDitz territory when she'll try and do a form of fortune telling with something else (ie tortoiseshell readings...with eggs)
* GenkiGirl: She's very energetic and also very carefree.
* TheGlomp: She tends to deliver tackling hugs to Setsuna (or other characters occasionally).
* HealingHands: Her pactio operates along the lines of her laying on hands to an injured person and curing any injury they have taken. Her normal healing works differently.
* HimeCut: She has the hairstyle as part of her classical {{Ojou}} image.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeFashionable: She likes to dress up Setsuna.
* JumpedAtTheCall: She was already interested in fortunetelling and the occult, so finding out she's an heiress to a family of powerful mages sat well with her.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: Being from Kyoto, Konoka speaks with this kind of accent.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World has cat ears and a tail.
* LipstickLesbian: While paired off with Setsuna, Konoka is still very girly.
* LonelyRichKid: Due to being raised in a mansion deep within the mountains, Setsuna was the only friend she ever had before entering Mahora.
* TheMedic: Her role in the team; she pushes the trope so far that she acts like a WhiteMagicianGirl and often appears in the standard red-rimmed white garb of the Japanese RPG white mage.
* ModestRoyalty: Despite being a rich {{Ojou}}, she chooses to live as the other students and has so far used her vast fortune only once in the series.
* NakedApron: In [[CovertPervert Setsuna's]] dream in [[spoiler:the LotusEaterMachine]] she's wearing nothing but an apron and cooking Setsuna breakfast while sleepy.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: She's perpetually cheerful and smiling, including when making morbid jokes.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She tends to be very clingy and huggy with Setsuna, much to her embarrassment.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Tends to play TheDitz, and while there's no denying that she's a bit flaky, she often knows a lot more than anyone gives her credit for.
* {{Ojou}}: Her family is extremely rich. And yet, she still manages to be the ''least'' royal person living in her room.
* PrincessesPreferPink: During her princess moments, she often wears a pink kimono.
* {{Protectorate}}: Setsuna is determined to protect her.
* RapunzelHair: Down to her waist, fitting her high class status.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: She gets relationship teasing with Setsuna, though it's slow to develop.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: It's implied that Setsuna first consciously realised how attractive Konoka had become when she saw her dressed up in a [[KimonoFanservice fancy kimono]] in cinema town. [[TransparentCloset Not that she was willing to acknowledge it just yet...]]
-->'''Setsuna:''' Ojousama really has grown into a beautiful young woman. Why am I so shaken up?
* SpoiledSweet: She is extremely rich and was raised in a BigFancyHouse, but Konoka is a really sweet girl.
* TaremeEyes: She has very rounded eyes in contrast to Setsuna, whose eyes often look much sharper.
* TheTease: She enjoys making flirty but innocent sounding comments around Setsuna.
* WhiteMagicianGirl: She is a healer, [[ActionGirl Setsuna's]] LoveInterest and has motherly tendencies.

[[folder:Ku Fei]]
[[quoteright:289:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_8721.JPG]]

Ku Fei is a Chinese exchange student with incredible skill in martial arts and immense strength. Seeing her skill, Negi asks her to teach him kenpo, which he picks up at a rate she considers unfair. Because she starts the series unable to use ki, she tends to lag behind the heavier hitters like Kaede despite being considered her superior when it comes to sheer skill in martial arts.

Her grades don't match her physical ability in the slightest and she speaks with an accent. She also has a rather straightforward and friendly personality.

->'''Voiced by:''' Hazuki Tanaka (Japanese, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'' and ''Negima!?''), Creator/KanaAsumi (Japanese, ''Mou Hitotsu no Sekai'' onwards), Creator/CynthiaCranz (English)
----
* ActionGirl: She is the captain of the martial arts club.
* AnimeChineseGirl: She usually wears a {{qipao}} and knows martial arts. She even puts her hair up in a pair of {{odango}} sometimes.
* BareFistedMonk: She is a good fist figther and wipes the floor with weapon-users routinely.
* BookDumb: By her own admission, Ku Fei is good at "everything but studying", to the point where, when it becomes a concern of the other girls that Negi might be developing a crush on her, they initially dismiss it because they think she's an idiot.
* CannotKeepASecret: She's told to keep a secret during Mahorafest twice, once regarding Albireo's true identity and another time regarding Chao planning to leave the class. She blurts it out almost instantly both times.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: A bit ditzy, but not out-and-out crazy.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: In a world filled with [[FantasyKitchenSink mages, vampires, half-demons, ninjas, robots]] and other beings somewhat cognizant of magic, she achieved [[BadassNormal exceptional strength in battle]] [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower by training a lot]] in her chosen style. Once the difficulty spiked for her, she started using ki rather than pure martial arts as well as making a Pactio with Negi. Her relative weakness often makes her more impressive looking in universe
--->'''Chisame:''' "She's just close enough to human that we can tell how ridiculously good she is."
* {{Expy}}: Of [[LoveHina Kaolla Su]] in terms of appearance and personality.
* FlashStep: Against Mana, during the ''[=MahoraFest=] Tournament''.
* GirlishPigtails: Her hair is bound up in spiky tails.
* HeirToTheDojo: She is the successor to the Ku warrior clan. [[spoiler:And as of the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, she has since set up a dojo to accommodate challengers and future followers alike.]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser: She weaponized cloth in her fight with Mana.
* KungFuKid: As far as martial arts go she's basically the highest level fighter in the group, but her control of ki lags behind the rest of the group.
* VerbalTic: She uses "Aru" instead of the proper sentence endings, which is anime code for "I am an anime character with a Chinese accent." In official translations she gets HulkSpeak instead while fan translations leave it untranslated. For some reason, she loses it in the first anime but regains it in ''[[NegimaSecondSeason Negima!?]]''.
* WaifFu: She looks rather scrawny, but when she flexes muscles suddenly start bulging everywhere.
* YouNoTakeCandle: She turns into this starting from around Volume 7 of the English manga, possibly to make it clear that she's Chinese rather than Japanese. Prior to that she speaks like a normal schoolgirl.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Starting in Chapter 55, when she is first seen in a non-school outfit. The formal qipao she wore when she got her Pactio also counts, even though it is quite long, but the cut is also quite high so it shows off her legs and socks nicely.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Nagase Kaede]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_3639.JPG]]

As a {{Ninja}} of considerable skill, Kaede is generally a wise mentor figure to the group when she's not serving as its [[ActionGirl muscle]]. She is portrayed as more powerful than Negi himself in the early stages of the story despite initially [[{{Muggle}} not knowing about magic at all]] and it is not until a decent length into the story that Negi manages to catch up to and surpass her. Her grades are not that great, but she doesn't appear to be unintelligent. Rather, she apparently spends too much time training.

Kaede fights using her ninja abilities, making her very fast, able to use many powerful shadow clones and having a high degree of strength and skill.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyokoShiraishi (Japanese), Clarine Harp (English)
----
* ActionGirl: Comes naturally with being a ninja. During Mahorafest she was able to match up against Albireo, who should be ''much'' stronger than her, though he was obviously unwilling to use potentially lethal attacks.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: She uses a peculiar style of archaic speech patterns, notably ending her sentences with "de gozaru" or "nari", usually associated with Ninja or Samurai warriors. They are often left untranslated, or in the case of the anime, cut out entirely.
* {{Badass}}: Until around midway through the Magic World arc, she was probably the strongest fighter in the group. During the Mahorafest semifinals she demonstrated the ability to stall Albireo so well that in order to avoid losing by votes in overtime he was forced to pull out his TooAwesomeToUse pactio[[note]]It can only be used for several minutes and then becomes useless forever[[/note]] in order to subdue her non-lethally. [[spoiler:In the Magic World finale she had the best showing of any allied fighter not named Negi or Chachamaru by briefly matching Quintum before going for a non combat victory.]]
* BadassCape: Her artifact, Tengu no Kakuremino, takes the form of a ragged looking cloth worn as a cape.
* BadassInANiceSuit: During the ball she wears a nice suit rather than a dress because she wants to be able to move around easily.
* BigSisterInstinct: Towards Negi and Kotaro. The charts say that her romantic feelings for them are low, but the sisterly/motherly ones are [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale off the scale]]. She also seems to take care of the twins.
* BookDumb: She doesn't seem as dumb as Ku Fei and is a good strategist to boot. She still manages to be one of the five worst students in the class with the most commonly accepted explanation being that the {{Ninja}} training is probably interfering with her studies.
* CatSmile: Especially prominent due to EyesAlwaysShut.
* CoolBigSis: To Negi and Kotaro.
* EyesAlwaysShut: So far she has only been seen with both eyes open about a dozen times; each time signifies [[LetsGetDangerous she means business]].
* FlatCharacter: Tall, protective and wise ninja. Not much more to say about her.
* FuumaShuriken: Her shuriken is at least six feet from tip to tip and provides the Page image. [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Deified, as well]].
* HaremNanny: Her romantic feelings are low, but her motherly feelings are very high. As a result, she's very protective and calm compared to the more emotional girls like Asuna or Ku Fei.
* HeirToTheDojo: Though it's only mentioned in [[AllThereInTheManual her character design notes]].
* IdiotHair: As one of the Baka Rangers, she gets to have an idiot hair. She seems smarter than most of the group though.
* {{Ninja}}: Although she doesn't necessarily [[HighlyVisibleNinja stick out like a sore thumb]].
* {{Sarashi}}: Being a {{Ninja}} and everything, she uses sarashi as a bra.
* ShortHairWithTail: Her hair has a short part in a straight bob and a long part of her hair in a ponytail tied at the nape of her neck that reaches her feet.
* SlipknotPonytail: Chao snatches her hair band to prove a point about the different levels of ability between the two and show Kaede can't hope to beat her.
* StaticCharacter: She's already calm and sure of where she wants to go in life, leaving her as one of the more stable and mellow members of the cast throughout its run.
* StatuesqueStunner: One of the tallest girls in the series with 183cm tall and the second largest bust. [[LampshadeHanging She can't pass for her actual age at all.]]
* TomboyishSidetails: Her sidetails are longer than the short part of her hair.
* TsurimeEyes: 95% of the time, she's EyesAlwaysShut, but when she does open them, they are this shape.
* VaporWear: Just look at that picture. She is probably not wearing underwear.
* WalkingTheEarth: The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue reveals that she has since become a wanderer helping her friends along the way when not training on Earth with Ku Fei.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's afraid of frogs. This is based on a pun that doesn't really translate.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has greenish brown hair.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: Neither she nor Mana can get their student discount when trying to get into the movies, so she uses a ninja technique to make her look ''much'' younger.

[[folder:Saotome Haruna]]
[[quoteright:289:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_4691.JPG]]

Haruna is the final member of the Library Exploration Club to join Ala Alba after getting involved during Mahorafest, where she JumpedAtTheCall, much to Negi's terror. Unlike the other club members, Haruna seems motivated almost entirely by self amusement and plays tricks on Yue and Nodoka for laughs even while attempting to help them get closer to Negi. Thus, she has little personal involvement in anything Ala Alba does, but she views it as a good way to have fun.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SawaIshige (Japanese) and Creator/JamieMarchi (English)
----
* CaptainObvious: When attacked by Shirabe, she helpfully points out the obvious fact that her violin blows stuff up and that she works for Fate. Lampshaded both times.
* DatePeepers: During Nodoka and Negi's date at the festival, she kept following them around trying to push them into a more "interesting" direction. Why? [[ItAmusedMe Because it's fun!]]
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Her Suka form in ''Negima!?''.
* GenreSavvy: She has a pretty good idea of how a shounen manga is supposed to work due to her obvious otaku status.
* HairAntennae: She has hair antennae that seem to function as ''actual'' antennae, including the ability to home in on feelings of love.
* InSeriesNickname: "Paru". Doubles as a LuckyTranslation in French, as "paru" can mean "published". Since she's a mangaka…
* ItAmusedMe: She has a tendency to act like a jerk and embarrass people for shits and giggles.
* {{Jerkass}}: It's generally PlayedForLaughs, but Haruna is often selfish, irresponsible, impulsive, rude and thoughtless. Though she does care about Nodoka and Yue at least, her attempts to help them with their love lives seem primarily motivated by amusement. She tags along to the action because it looks fun rather than really caring and [[spoiler:phrases her refusal to withdraw the ship in terms of wanting to make a good name for herself for when she conquers the world.]]
* TheMatchmaker: Started out pushing Nodoka heavily towards Negi, and then when she realized Yue also had a crush on Negi she backed off slightly and said she'd support both. Following this, she's begun pushing as many girls at Negi as possible as well as egging Natsumi on regarding Kotaro.
* MsViceGirl: She's very greedy and selfish.
* PetTheDog: She gets a nice moment at the very climax when [[spoiler:her ship crashes in Mahora and she's extremely happy to see Madoka and gives her a huge hug.]]
* RapunzelHair: The length seems somewhat inconsistent. Sometimes it's to slightly above her waist and sometimes it trails a few inches below.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Whenever an idea pops into her head, her glasses reveal her true nature.
* SecretChaser: She is rather fixated on finding out who, if anyone, Negi likes. Creepily, actually.
* SequentialArtist: [[MagicalGirl Mahou Shojo]] [[ShowWithinAShow Biblion]] {{doujin}}s.
* ShipperOnDeck: Begins with Negi/Nodoka, though she stops pushing the two together when she becomes aware of Yue's crush and opts to support both. Later, she becomes a Konoka/Setsuna ''and'' Kotaro/Natsumi fan.
* TokenEvilTeammate: She seems completely uninterested in the actual goals of the group or helping people. She's also quite fond of making people look stupid and her long term goals include taking over the Magic World. She's friends with Yue and Nodoka, which is basically the whole reason she's in the group: They failed to keep the secret from her and she forced her way in.
* YaoiFangirl: She dragged Negi to the ''[[{{Doujinshi}} Comiket]]'' and showed him yaoi doujins of what appears to be ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei.''

[[quoteright:292:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_3548.JPG]]

Asakura is the local SchoolNewspaperNewshound and an aspiring IntrepidReporter. She discovered Negi's secret early on and loosely followed the events [[WildCard with no real affiliation]] apart from pursuit of interesting stories until integrating more fully into the group around the end of Mahorafest. She is Sayo's best friend and the two formed a partnership of sorts due to Sayo being almost completely undetectable, making her a great spy.

She tagged along to the Magic World without having formed a pactio with Negi.

->'''Voiced by:''' Ayana Sasagawa (Japanese) and Creator/MonicaRial (English)
----
* AnimeHair: Uhm, nice pineappe-shaped cut.
* BigBreastPride: She's pretty proud of her bust and is offended when Negi notices that developed as she is she's still no Shizuna.
* CameraFiend: Her class panics when being attacked by a ghost? She pulls out her camera immediately.
* CombatCommentator: She plays the referee during Mahorafest, though most of the more detailed. commentary is done by someone else.
* {{Expy}}: To [[Manga/LoveHina Kitsune Konno]], with the nosy, busybody traits turned UpToEleven.
* TheGadfly: Shows signs of this when she starts to boast about her supposed FirstKiss with Negi.
* HotScoop: Always out for the latest scoop and never short of bare skin to show.
* IntrepidReporter: Her interest in revealing Negi as a mage is what kicks off her involvement in the plot.
* PetTheDog: Often rather amoral, but there are lines she won't cross, even for a big scoop. In the manga, she immediately switches to Negi's side when she learns her current actions are going to get him turned into an ermine while in the anime she refuses to post a story about Sayo because the pictures she took were of a miserable crying girl
* SchoolNewspaperNewshound: She dreams of the big scoop that will really make a mark and her investigative abilities appear to be top notch.
* UnfazedEveryman: Asakura seems to occupy a special niche somewhere between Chisame and Haruna. On the one hand, you have Chisame who absolutely freaks about magic while on the other hand you have Haruna who is jumping for joy when she hears about it. Asakura? She feels like she could probably write a good story about it or something, but isn't really that interested in getting too involved and never begins learning magic like the likes of Yue or even Makie.
* WildCard: Her pursuit of the truth and rather carefree moral compass can result in her switching sides easily, though she definitely has everyone's best interests at heart.

[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_8249.JPG]]

Sayo is class 3A's resident ghost and a little too [[CuteGhostGirl cute]] and inept to be considered scary, despite her occasional efforts. Apart from being impossibly clumsy, she's also extremely difficult to detect. Upon being slightly noticed by Negi during a class vote, she attempted to make her presence known and after some mishaps more characters were able to see her fully and she became Asakura's best friend and assistant. She eventually gains a small doll that she can possess and joins Ala Alba as their [[StealthPun ghost member.]] She appears to have a bit of a crush on Negi, but this was never developed since post introduction they only spoke once or twice.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuriShiratori (Japanese) and Kate Bristol (English)
----
* CuteClumsyGirl: Tripping on flat pavement when you don't even have feet? That's pretty bad. Carries over to the little doll effigy as well.
* CuteGhostGirl: She's too incompetent to be scary, though she tries. Most of the class thinks she's too cute.
* FogFeet: Since she's a scary ghost, she gets scary ghost feet. And manages to trip over said nonexistent feet.
* FriendlyGhost: She's a ghost, but she's too nice and cute to be scary, and the only thing she wants is a friend.
* FunSize: She gets a tiny, cutesy doll body to inhabit right before going to the Magic World.
* GhostAmnesia: She remembers very little of her life, her death or any goals she might have that might be the reason she's hanging around. The first anime gave one version of her death, though.
* GhostLights: She tends to have little floaty lights around whenever she's being particularly ghostly.
* GhostlyChill: Nobody takes her seat because it's always so cold.
* HeadPet: When she's possessing a small doll, she sometimes sits on people's heads, usually Asakura's.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Having been friendless and lonely for around 60 years, Sayo is very desperate for a friend. Unfortunately, her attempts of making friends are horribly misunderstood at first.
* JacobMarleyApparel: Wears a SailorFuku, probably the school uniform when she died back in 1940.
* {{Joshikousei}}: She [[JacobMarleyApparel wears an obsolete uniform]].
* LockedIntoStrangeness: When she was alive, she had black hair. As a ghost, it reversed to white.
* MissingMom: In the anime, it's shown that her mom died in war sixty years ago.
* MobileSuitHuman: She gets around in a tiny, vaguely humanoid doll which apparently makes her act energetic and ditzy. [[spoiler:Haruna creates a robot body for her with her artifact. Her doll body drives it from inside.]]
* MysticalWhiteHair: It indicates that she's not human.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: She just wants to make friends, but all her attempts to communicate with people are interpreted all wrong.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: She has been tied to her seat for more than sixty years due to reasons still undisclosed, can't leave the school grounds until Asakura got a special doll for her to possess and is absolutely terrible at being a ghost.
* RapunzelHair: She has waist length hair.
* ReluctantMonster: She occasionally makes halfhearted attempts to scare people, but it's obvious she'd much rather be making friends. Reminders that she's a ghost tend to be depressing.
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: She is mistaken for one after Asakura takes a [[SpookyPhotographs Scary Photograph]] of her. It gets to the point that they even call in two professional exorcists to take care of the problem before they finally figure out that she doesn't want to hurt anyone.
* SuperDeformed: She spends some time with Chachamaru and Negi in a chibi doll of herself.
* VerbalTic: Says ''desuuu'' in a spooky ghost voice. [[DontExplainTheJoke Because she's a spooky ghost]].
* VisibleInvisibility: For 19 episodes of ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'', she's invisible to everyone but the audience.

[[folder:Albert Chamomile]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00228869_4173.jpg]]

Chamo is a crafty, lecherous, [[TalkingAnimal talking ermine]] and something between a familiar and a mentor to Negi. He provides comic relief, devises battle plans, forms the pactio circles and enjoys teasing the girls about their feelings for Negi, which he is apparently able to uncover via some form of weird magic. Despite mages being turned into ermines for breaking the masquerade, there is no indication that Chamo is such a case. Rather, he appears to be some sort of fairy.

->'''Voiced by:''' Masashi Yabe (Japanese) and Chris Cason (English)
----
* ButtMonkey: Whenever he says something perverse, he gets beaten up. In the first anime series, he also gets smacked in the face with a flashlight that was still on, leaving a red mark over his face for the rest of the episode.
* DatePeepers: He has great interest in following everyone around on their possible dates and making lewd comments on them.
* DirtyOldMan: Being a short-lived ermine, Chamo is an old man despite being ''younger'' than Negi. Both he and author's notes refer to him as a dirty old man several times.
* {{Familiar}}: He moves into the story attempting to get Negi to accept him as an official familiar in order to evade responsibility for some crimes he committed involving underwear theft. Negi, being quite gullible, swallows his sob story whole.
* FunnyAnimal: An ermine who talks, smokes and is perverted.
* HeadPet: He often hangs out on people's shoulders and even sits on Sayo's head once, who acts like a HeadPet herself.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure, he's a DirtyOldMan in ermine form, and constantly tries to manipulate people for his own gain... but he never puts his own goals above the safety of the rest of group, tries to make sure everybody else benefits along with him, and generally tries to make himself as useful as possible, even when an ermine generally wouldn't be able to do anything.
* LovableSexManiac: He sneaks into a swimming pool with the 3-A girls and pulling their bathing suits off and steals underwear. The former is actually his debut.
* TheMatchmaker: ''Loves'' to tell Negi to make more and more Pactios with the girls because he scores a bunch of money every time he does.
* MeaningfulName: かもがねぎをしょってくる (''kamo'' ga ''negi'' o shotte kuru), which literally translates into "a duck comes bearing green onions", an idiom referring to something being too good to be true.
* MentorMascot: While he's usually just Negi's perverted {{familiar}}, he does a bit of mentoring about a particular aspect of the local magic system, but mostly so he can collect a hefty paycheck from somewhere or other every time Negi gets a partner.
* TheNicknamer: Chamo has a nickname for ''everyone''. It's rare for him to call people by their actual names. It's much more common for him to give them names like Yuecchi or use terms like aniki, anego and nee san.
* NonHumanSidekick: Small, white ermine that looks to Negi as his big brother and helps him form pactios.
* OlderSidekick: Unclear. He acts like a DirtyOldMan, but as an ermine it's unlikely that he's as old as Negi. On the other hand, he's an ermine ''fairy.''
* PantyThief: So much that [[spoiler:his share of the Rainyday twins' LotusEaterMachine]] has him pretty much ''swimming'' in underwear.
* PunnyName: Chamo's name combined with Negi's refers to a Japanese legend about a duck carrying a leek that offers itself as a meal to lost and starving travelers, which has come to mean something too good to be true (you've got dinner with it's own seasoning), or to con-men, a sucker.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: He's quite eager to get Negi as much tail as possible. He also likes to comment on all the FetishFuel and {{Fanservice}} that tends to go on around them.
* WeaselMascot: With DirtyOldMan tendencies to boot!

[[folder:Anna "Anya" Yurievna Cocolova]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anya.jpg]]

Anya is Negi's childhood friend and a fellow graduate from [[WizardingSchool Merdiana Magic Academy]]. Since she's known Negi longer than any of his students, he doesn't use {{Keigo}} when speaking to her. She's [[FieryRedhead extremely emotional]], [[{{Tsundere}} especially when it comes to Negi]] and is convinced that he is being led astray by all the pretty girls and their boobs. Though she shows up after Mahorafest intending to show him how much she has improved, she's stunned to see that he's way, way out of her league at this point. Further annoying her is the number of pactios he has at this point, which pisses her off until he manages to calm her down and invite her to the group officially.

She specializes in fire magic, of course, though her performance is less than stellar considering that the first time she tries to attack Negi she also sets her own clothing and hair on fire.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyoHirohashi (Japanese, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!''), Creator/ChiwaSaito (Japanese, ''Negima?!'' onwards), Kate Bristol (English, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'') and Creator/BrittneyKarbowski (English, ''Negima!?'')
----
* ACupAngst: Seems particularly obsessed with her breast size relative to the older girls of the Ala Alba. At one point she states outright "those with big breasts are my enemies, those with small breasts are my allies". No wonder she made quick friends with Yue and Nodoka.
* AgeAppropriateAngst: Unlike the rest of the cast, she just has some body image issues that she'll grow out of and worrys that the boy she totally doesn't like or anything doesn't pay enough attention to her.
* AscendedExtra: Anya has a ''much'' bigger role in ''Negima!?'', and an even bigger one in the ''Negima!? Neo'' manga partially based on the former, where she becomes ''the'' 32nd member of Class 3-A come Chapter 15, and is all set up to take ninja lessons from Kaede and actually become useful in combat. [[ThrowTheDogABone Akamatsu must've felt bad for her.]]
* BrattyHalfPint: She comes across as violent, bossy and very bratty.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She doesn't like seeing Negi with other girls.
* ElementalHair: She uses fire magic and her hair is red.
* FieryRedhead: She's hot headed and what little offensive magic she does know is all fire based.
* FortuneTeller: Her assignment in London as a final mage test, akin to Negi's assignment as a teacher in Japan.
* GirlishPigtails: As part of her stereotypical {{Tsundere}} appearance.
* PlayingWithFire: She specializes in fire magic.
* RapunzelHair: Down to her waist.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Her standard attire before the Magical World trip.
* ShanaClone: She is a small {{Tsundere}} with RapunzelHair and a literal FieryRedhead to boot.
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: She's tiny, bossy and prone to comedic violence.
* TransliterationTrouble: Her surname. Until we got an official spelling, nobody knew how to spell it correctly.
* {{Tsundere}}: She's a definite aggressive 'hit first, ask questions ''never'' unless you have to' type.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade S, combined with a {{Meido}} outfit to complement her [[GirlishPigtails pigtails]] and [[{{Tsundere}} attitude]].
[[/folder]]

----

to:

* StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks almost identical to his father Nagi, especially when he magically ages himself up.
* SuperIntelligence: Negi's great strength later in the manga lies in his ability to rapidly learn and create new techniques and strategies. It's remarked that governments would love to sit him behind a desk to just work on magical theory all day.
* SuperMode: The base form of Magia Erebea gives him a 50% power boost before he even starts using the actual Magia Erebea abilities.
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: Magea Erebea has an effect on his emotions because it's fueled by them. [[spoiler:When the encroachment goes out of control, he turns into a berserking monster with some rather heavy mutations. Surprisingly, this is never really used in combat after he's interrupted during its first real occurrence.]]
* SurvivorGuilt: Being one of the only two survivors of his DoomedHometown, Negi has lots of it.
* SweetheartSipping: During a shopping trip with Konoka. It gets misunderstood by the DatePeepers to hilarious ends.
* SwissArmyHero: It's noted early that by changing the spells he absorbs with Magia Erebea that he can give himself different strengths such as a StoneWall, FragileSpeedster or GlassCannon. However, he almost always uses the FragileSpeedster effect.
* TaremeEyes: Likely to complements his "innocent little boy" traits.
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:After Quartum bisects Chachamaru, Negi appears and delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.]]
* UnstoppableRage: First happens against Graf, though Kotaro manages to smack some sense into him. [[spoiler:Later occurs multiple times starting during a fight with Godel.]]
* UnwantedHarem: Does the collection of powerful girls crushing on him strike you with [[BlessedWithSuck pity]], [[CursedWithAwesome envy]], or fear for the day he hits puberty?
* VocalDissonance: When the 3rd OAD came out, his adult self is still voiced by Creator/RinaSato.
* WillfullyWeak: At one point decided that he would seal his magic and fulfill his duties as a teacher without relying on magic. [[AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp He chose a bad time for it.]]
* WiseBeyondHisYears: Despite being ten, he is very wise, though this has pointedly come at the cost of sacrificing a real childhood.
* WorthyOpponent: Kotaro thinks of Negi as being the first mage he's gone up against that wasn't a loser who couldn't take a punch.
* WouldHitAGirl: Despite being an "English gentleman", he doesn't hesitate to fight Takane. Asuna does not approve; Setsuna and Evangeline do.
* YouShallNotPass: Stays behind to stop horde of demons from catching Ala Alba. He's not in any real danger though.
* ZettaiRyouiki: When his students capture him, they make him crossdress as a foxgirl complete with long stockings.

[[folder:Kagurazaka Asuna]]
[[quoteright:291:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_485.JPG]]

Asuna is a girl Negi speaks to on the first day, informing her that her love is going to end unrequited. After this charming start, he's asked by the principal to move into her room and after a bit of initial friction ends up as his protective big sister figure [[{{Tsundere}} among hints of other kinds of affection.]] She is fairly dim, but she's also a hard worker with a strong sense of responsibility. Though intellectually weak, she's physically superhuman even more magic enters the equation, capable of running as fast as a bicycle and having both sight and hearing well above that of a normal human.

She becomes his first Ministra Magi and possesses incredibly rare antimagic abilities that confuse others due to Asuna being an apparently ordinary middle school student. Her artifact is a large metal fan with properties suited for exorcism, though as she gains more control over her abilities it gradually gets replaced by her actual artifact, a massive sword with antimagic properties. Both are known as either the ''Ensis Exorcizans'' or the ''Hama no Tsurugi'' depending on reading.

Despite being supposedly ordinary, strange dreams and abilities hint that she is far from it, leaving her something of a mystery for most of the story to the reader.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkemiKanda (Japanese) and Creator/LuciChristian (English)
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her outfit [[spoiler:during her second capture.]]
* ActionGirl: She is the first to come to Negi's aid early in the series, and also the first to get a pactio.
* AmnesiacHero: From early on, it's hinted that Asuna isn't the normal schoolgirl she believes herself to be and has a mysterious past she can't remember.
* AntiMagic: She has the ability to cancel magic, which is initially assumed to be because of her contract with Negi. Though initially unpredictable, she eventually gets control of this and can extend it as a field, punching out 100% unbreakable seals and dispelling giant falling pillars with a wave of her sword. Magic Cancel is a rare ability, which causes no end of confusion to experts who wonder why a normal person like Asuna can use it. [[spoiler:However, the true nature of this ability is actually considerably more complex and even rarer, a throwback to the found of the Ostian dynasty and creator of the Magic World who used the same ability to create it. Properly speaking, it's known as the Magic of Creation and Destruction and is extremely potent.]]
* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:Fate needs Asuna's AntiMagic abilities to erase Mundus Magicus and put its inhabitants into a LotusEaterMachine to keep them from disappearing when Mundus Magicus collapses on its own.]]
* ArmorPiercingSlap: So powerful it goes straight through Evangeline's shields, though it turns out to be due to AntiMagic.
* {{Badass}}: She grows into an excellent melee fighter with some really rare techniques
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:After meeting Fate's team, she gets surrounded and captured by one of Fate's partners, who assumes Asuna's form and joins the group pretending to be her. Asuna was held captive by Fate, with Fate successfully undoing her LaserGuidedAmnesia, to cause her to remember her past and go into a week-long HeroicBSOD.]]
* BarrierMaiden: Near the conclusion of the story, it was revealed that [[spoiler:she'll be sleeping for 100 years in the Gravekeeper's Palace, serving as the literal cornerstone for the plan to save the Magic World. Time travel hijinks make it complicated, however, since she technically doesn't go back to her own world when she wakes up and meets Chao.]]
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:To Fate's surprise, Asuna Kagurazaka is a fully fledged identity that grew from her originally EmotionlessGirl state.]]
* BigSisterInstinct: She says she sees Negi as a little brother she must protect. [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg59/Xophien/KamoRankings.jpg Chamo's charts]] say that her sisterly/motherly feelings for Negi are the strongest out of all the girls.
* BookDumb: Her grades are so terrible that she is the one with the lowest scores out of all the Baka Rangers.
* BrokenBird: When she showed up in Mahora, she was an EmotionlessGirl that annoyed Ayaka with her blank expression, so she kicked her. [[spoiler:At that point, she had a very limited time of actually being a human, instead having been treated as a living weapon for a century or more.]]
* CharacterExaggeration: Asuna goes from being a regular {{Tsundere}}, having a job and more or less just trying to survive in the craziness around her in the manga and first anime series, to being completely nuts in Negima?!
* CoolBigSis: She acts as a big sister towards Negi, though there are hints of romantic interest.
* CuteLittleFangs: To match her aggressive personality she occasionally has little fanglike teeth.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[MysteriousPast We don't really know the details]], but [[spoiler:she underwent LaserGuidedAmnesia so that she could forget all that she had been through. What we do know is that it includes being [[GirlInTheTower imprisoned in a tower]] and used as a human weapon, and the destruction of a FloatingContinent.]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: Asuna is Negi's ministra magi and thus responsible for protecting the SquishyWizard while he casts his spells. In resppnse, Negi pushes himself to become stronger so she doesn't have to protect him and put herself in danger. While competing in Mahora Fest's Tournament [[spoiler: she loudly declared to Negi that she was plenty powerful enough to protect him. Then she became profoundly embarrassed because she was fighting at that moment and the entire crowd interperted her declaration as a love confession.]]
* DiesWideOpen: In the first anime's ending, she hits her birthday and then falls from the World Tree. Negi catches her, but she only fell because she was already dead. Negi magically undoes it with the help of his class.
* DontCallMeSir: Gets very upset when Setsuna starts acting like her servant and calling her "[[spoiler:princess]]" after she learns about Asuna's origins.
* EmotionlessGirl: As a kid she had a flat expression that irritated Ayaka. In the present, she's rather excitable. And irritable.
* EpicFail: Trying to light someone's cigarette and instead setting their beard on fire. Then she tried putting it out with hot tea.
* ExpressiveHair: In ''Negima!?'' her pigtails move according to her mood.
* {{Expy}}: She's stated to embody the "protective" aspect of [[Manga/LoveHina Naru's]] personality.
* FieryRedhead: She's a fiery {{Tsundere}} with red hair.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:After she wakes up from sleeping for 130 years, Asuna finds herself alone in a strange time and place with all her friends gone. She at least hoped Negi (having a body like Evangeline's) would still be alive, but he died and after seeing all that her friends did in their lives while she was sleeping she breaks down in tears. However, Evangeline and Chao send her back in time and she reunites with her friends.]]
* FullFrontalAssault: After getting {{Clothing Damage}}d for the umpteenth time during the AggressiveNegotiations with Goedel. She's been stripped enough that she just ignores it, proves herself immune to DefeatByModesty and presses the attack. The viewers get a [[HandOrObjectUnderwear Godiva sword tassel]]. [[spoiler:Although that was actually Fake!Asuna/Shiori.]]
-->"Like I care!"
* GagBoobs: She gets them in one episode where the girls are using breast size for a contest to see who gets to share a room with Negi.
* GenericCuteness: Judging by the startled reactions of her friends at the ball and during her 'date' with Takamichi, Asuna is apparently supposed to look fairly plain most of the time.
* GirlishPigtails: Befitting her {{Tsundere}} personality. When the topic comes up, her friends note that its rather childish and that she looks better with her hair down.
* GodivaHair: Her hair reaches her waist, which really helps, since being around Negi has a tendency to suddenly leave you without clothing.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: A... bear?
* HairDecorations: She wears a pair of bells on her GirlishPigtails. They're also a MementoMacGuffin since she wears those bells because they came from Takamichi, not because she thinks they make her look cuter. And on the rare occasions that she takes them off everyone notes that she looks better without them.
* HeavySleeper: [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] in ''Anime/NegimaSecondSeason''. [[spoiler:Then the manga reveals that she slept for thirty more years to wake up to a world where the otherwise immortal Negi inexplicably died, only for Eva and Chao to return her back 130 years to a world identical to where she came from mere seconds after her departure. The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue reveals that her extended sleep was partially caused by a war on Mars in the 22nd century, of which Mana was a participant.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Chapter 284 showed the tail end of a week-long one. Fate didn't expect her to come out of it at all]].
* HomeRunHitter: Does this to Evangeline using a thrown boat as the bat in ''Negima!?''.
* HotForTeacher: Has a crush on Takahata-sensei.
* IAmWhatIAm: The most difficult mental issue she has is the [[spoiler:duality between who she was as Princess Asuna and who she is now as Asuna Kagurazaka]]. At the end of the Magic World arc, [[spoiler:she's at terms with both sides of herself, proclaiming herself a genuine magic princess as she fixes all the devastation wrought by Cosmo Entelechia.]]
* IAmWho: Asuna certainly isn't who she believes herself to be and she has a long forgotten past that is slowly hinted throughout the series. [[spoiler:She's actually a princess from the magic world who was used as a human weapon because of her AntiMagic powers.]]
* IdenticalStranger: She looks very similar to Negi's cousin Nekane.
* IdiotHair: It fits thanks to her being an IdiotHero.
* IdiotHero: It's pointed out more than once that she far more closely resembles the trope than Negi himself. Kotaro even compares her to Nagi due to her idiocy and determination.
* InelegantBlubbering: When things don't go well with Takamichi, Negi bumps into Asuna streaming tears and with snot running out of her nose. After this, she spends a few days moping in Eva's resort before getting over it.
* InstantExpert: Though she's nearly as dim as Negi is brilliant, she picks up fighting and even kanka almost as quickly as he does magic and martial arts. However, in her case it's because she already learned at least some of this stuff when she was a kid. Of course, she ''also'' performed kanka perfectly almost instantly as a child as well, though in that case it was due to [[spoiler:being 'empty' from having no life experience, social interaction or anything for over a hundred years while being used as some type of weapon.]]
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World has cat ears and a tail.
* KickChick: Negi even notes in his class rooster how she has a very powerful kick.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: She doesn't have any memories from before ten years ago [[spoiler:after Takamichi had her memory sealed on behalf of the dying Gateau Vanderburg.]]
* LethalChef: Briefly, in the anime; looked like an AlienLunch. ''Negima!?'' also gave us a glimpse of her cooking. She burned down the kitchen.
* LightningGlare: Frequently to Negi after he manages to upset her yet again.
* LikesOlderWomen: {{Gender Flip}}ped. She has a preference for older guys. Ayaka calls her an "Ojicon" because of it.
* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:She's part of the Ostian bloodline just like Negi and his mother, though where she fits on the family tree is rather unclear.]]
* MarilynManeuver: Does this once during the ''Pactio'' spell, [[PantyShot since there's wind blowing up]].
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: Right eye green, left eye blue. It's difficult to notice unless she's looking straight at the camera. She's definitely not normal either.
* {{Meido}}: During the TournamentArc, Asuna and Setsuna get pressganged into wearing maid outfits to appeal to the crowd.
* ModestyShorts: After GoingCommando in a skirt in Kyoto, this is a big issue for her.
* MysteriousPast: Especially when when she turns out to be [[OlderThanTheyLook far older than she looks]].
* MysticalWaif: She shows the canonical catatonic personality in flashbacks.
* NoSell: Her Magic Cancel stops ''any'' magic.
* NotAMorningPerson: She is known for being bad at mornings. She gets up early for her job during the week, but sleeps in late on the weekends.
* OlderSidekick: To Negi. He is only ten and she is a teenager.
* OlderThanSheLooks: Before too much time passes, it's clear that Asuna has a history she doesn't remember and is at least a little older than she appears. [[spoiler:She was used as a human weapon for at least a century, was involved in the War and only after that did she begin to age normally. Thus, she should be at least a hundred and thirty years old.]]
* OneHeadTaller: Than Negi. The romance is debatable, but when she hugs him during the Magic World reunion the effect is obvious.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Asuna appears to be a normal schoolgirl who just happens to get involved in magic because of Negi, but her AntiMagic powers and amnesia imply she's much more than that. [[spoiler:Turns out she's a princess from the Magic World.]]
* OutWithABang: PG version, after a WorldTree-controlled Negi catches her in a deep kiss that ends after she's passed out from lack of oxygen.
* OverlyLongName: Her full name is very long, but most people don't know it. [[spoiler:Her full name, Asuna Vesperina Theotanasia Entheofushia, notes her status as an imperial princess of the Ostian bloodline.]]
* PaperFanOfDoom: The weaker form of her pactio artifact is a fan that cancels all summons and dispels some forms of magic.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:Her AntiMagic actually caused a FloatingContinent to crash and nearly destroyed the entire Magic World.]]
* PhlebotinumGirl: She was used as a human weapon at some point, but the story doesn't say how at the time. [[spoiler:Her antimagic abilities are actually a little more extensive than that and allow her to be used as a catalyst for a ritual that could destroy the entire magic world. On a smaller scale, they're still quite potent.]]
* PluckyGirl: She's very brave and never gives up.
* PrecociousCrush: She's had a crush on Takamichi for a few years now. She's turned down not necessarily because Takamichi doesn't like her (though he clearly doesn't) but because he feels he's unworthy of love in the first place.
* PutOnABus: She's captured and disappears from the story for about fifty chapters, [[spoiler:but she's replaced by a perfect copy during that time.]]
* RagsToRoyalty: She's just a normal middle schooler, [[spoiler:who is actually the last valid descendant of the Ostian bloodline. Negi is another, but his mother was imprisoned as a scapegoat, so Asuna is apparently considered the heir to the line.]]
* RapunzelHair: Even though she wears it in GirlishPigtails, her hair reaches her knees.
* RedHeadedHeroine: A heroic FieryRedhead.
* RipVanWinkle: [[spoiler:For Negi's plan to save the magic world to succeed, she has to be put into stasis for a century. She oversleeps by another thirty years. If she hadn't, she could have at least met Ayaka again.]]
* SacredFirstKiss: Initially reluctant to make a Pactio for this reason. Later she claims it doesn't count because it was a Pactio, not a ''real'' kiss. Judging by the way everyone else in the story views Pactios the only one she's fooling is herself.
* SharedUnusualTrait: She and Princess Arika have heterochromia. [[spoiler:They have a common ancestor in the Lifemaker.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: She receives several reactions from her classmates after seeing her actually taking care of her appearance such as at the ball.
* ShipperOnDeck: She supports Konoka and Setsuna's relationship and enjoys teasing the latter about it.
* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:When her memories are forcibly returned to her, her former self as Princess Asuna comes into conflict with her Asuna Kagurazaka self and nearly destroys it. She ends up accepting both sides of herself, though the Kagurazaka personality is the one she actually displays.]]
* SuperSenses: Asuna possesses both super sight and super hearing.
* SuperSpeed: Without using any magic she can run as fast as a professional bike.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Not only is she related to magic, [[spoiler:she's flat out a magical princess.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Her first level in badass was her pactio, her second was in learning kanka and finally after entering the magical world her growth rate skyrocketed [[spoiler:due to subconsciously remembering how to fight]] and ended up about on par with Setsuna [[spoiler:before being captured]].
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Flashbacks show that Asuna originally was a smart-mouthed EmotionlessGirl, but frequent, violent interactions with Ayaka turned her into the cheerful FieryRedhead {{Tsundere}} of today.
* {{Tsundere}}: Aggresive type, though not as exaggerated as [[LoveHina Naru]]. As Negi himself describes her, Asuna is "overbearing, crude and violent", but an incredibly kind and caring CoolBigSis.
* UnskilledButStrong: In sheer specs, she's both quite powerful and fast, but isn't a trained fighter like Kaede or Setsuna. Thus, by the early parts of the Magic World, she appears to be almost on par with Setsuna, supposedly the strongest of Negi's ministra and a skilled shinmeiryu swordsman, simply by virtue of sheer speed and power. [[spoiler:By the ''end'' of the Magic World arc, she appears to be strong enough to actually work as Negi's partner while again showing no real sign of technique.]] Anti magic, of course, adds a great deal of utility to certain possible fights.
* YouCantFightFate: In the first anime's alternate story, Asuna was doomed to die on her 14th birthday due to a DealWithTheDevil so the demons would stop following her and bringing destruction wherever she went. Nagi attempted to save her and was promptly crushed under a bridge. She has to die and comes back in time to break the deal.

[[folder:Sakurazaki Setsuna]]
[[quoteright:292:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2897.JPG]]

Setsuna is a swordsman and exorcist who was friends with Konoka when they were both young. However, she was also supposed to be her bodyguard and after failing to protect her she started to grow distant from Konoka, believing she could guard her better from the shadows. As such, the relationship between them starts strained and Setsuna tends to be very quiet and aloof from the rest of the cast. However, after the relationship between them is mended she starts becoming friends [[ShipTease and possibly more]] with Konoka once more, as well as getting along quite well with Asuna.

Setsuna practices the Shinmeiryuu sword style, a set of techniques designed to allow practitioners to combat demons and spirits. She herself is [[HalfHumanHybrid half]] youkai and an outcast of the Tengu tribe, who feared her white wings, implied to be due to albinism. Though she has a complex about revealing her wings and is further rarely able to do so in public, they give her the ability to fly and are quite strong in combat. Further, she pactios with Negi early on, granting the artifact ''Sica Shishikushiro'', a wakizashi (short sword) that can have up to 16 flying duplicates using her mental power.

->'''Voiced by:''' YuuKobayashi (Japanese), Dana Schultes (English, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!''), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English, ''Negima!?'')
----
* ActionGirl: Fights almost as much as Asuna.
* {{Adorkable}}: Can act like this when her cool demeanor flies out the window in the presence of her [[BodyguardCrush Ojou-sama]].
* AesopAmnesia: After seemingly getting over her self-image issues, she goes right back to being emo a few chapters later. Multiple times.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Setsuna's white wings mark her as an outcast of her species; she even was exiled by her tribe because of it. Viewing herself as an outcast is still an issue for her.
* BadassAdorable: She's one of the top three or four fighters in the group, but contrasting the tall and imposing Kaede she's small and waifish.
* BadassInANiceSuit: During the ball she wears a nice suit rather than a dress. When it's pointed out, she says it's easier to move in. A valid concern at the time.
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' mess with Konoka.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: She fooled everyone that didn't know her while in her male period clothes during her NotADate with Konoka at the cinema town. Plus, they ''did'' [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer make her look fetching]].
* BigDamnKiss: Her Pactio with [[spoiler:Konoka]]. According to Chamo they even broke the length record.
* BodyguardCrush: She is very devoted to Konoka. As early as post Kyoto the romance starts getting teased at.
* ButNowIMustGo: At the end of the Kyoto arc, she tries to run away after revealing herself as a half-Tengu to Negi and co., but gets a lecture from Negi and decides to stay by Konoka's side.
* CantBatheWithoutAWeapon: She bathes with her demon-hunting sword.
* ChekhovsGunman: Akamatsu kept her OutOfFocus until the [[ClassTrip Kyoto arc]]; Negi once referred to her as one of the students he'd like to get to know better. Needless to say, she becomes one of Ala Alba's most trusted fighters.
* CherryBlossomGirl: Her family name contains Sakura, her attacks sometimes have a cherry blossom theme and she at least looks like a YamatoNadeshiko in universe.
* TheComicallySerious: Early in the series, her deadpan attitude comes off as funny in comical situations. It stops once she becomes more relaxed and easily flustered. In the anime ''Negima?!'', most of her funny moments come from her taking everything far too seriously.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Setsuna has a low and powerful voice for such a slender and petite woman, as befits a tough swordswoman. This also extends to the fact that [[{{Bifauxnen}} she can pass for a male]].
* CovertPervert: While detailing Asuna's abilities on a diagram featuring a [[BarbieDollAnatomy naked]] Asuna, she mentions her AntiMagic and her SuperSpeed... and then notes "Bust: Not bad", as well as a reference to Asuna's lack of hair anywhere aside from her scalp. Later, Zazie shows Negi Setsuna's "perfect world" [[spoiler:in the [[LotusEaterMachine Cosmo Entelechia dream world]]]] and apologizes for it being so perverse: Konoka making Setsuna breakfast... while wearing a NakedApron. And later, Setsuna concludes that the best future for her is finally having sex with Konoka.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was exiled from her tribe due to her pure-white wings, which were considered to be a bad omen as she was born into the bird tribe of demons.
* DatePeepers: Joins the other girls watching Negi and Nodoka.
* DeathGlare: Setsuna will give a good one of these to anyone who threatens Konoka.
* DemonSlayer: Setsuna's style of combat was developed specifically to exorcise demons by targeting them instead of the person they were inhabiting.
* DualWielding: She occasionally uses the massive Yuunagi in one hand and either its scabbard or Sica Shishikushiro on the other.
* DyeOrDie: It's implied that she is an [[HeroicAlbino albino]], but she uses hair dye and colored contacts to live in normal society after being exiled her from tribe.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Besides being paired off with Konoka and getting Tsukuyomi's [[PsychoLesbian psychotic attraction]], Setsuna gains the admiration of many girls while wearing a {{Bifauxnen}} outfit.
* TheExile: She was exiled from the crow demon tribe for being a white-feathered half-demon.
* FailureKnight: During several years, she decided to protect Konoka from afar without speaking a word to her due to feeling ashamed of her failure to save Konoka from almost drowning when they were kids. All Konoka wanted was to be friends with Setsuna again.
* FantasticArousal: She appears to consider grooming her wings an intimate act, though since she uses them as shields or weapons they must be fairly insensitive.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her hair, shaped like a single wing, possibly alluding to her halfling heritage.
* FreakinessShame: She's uncomfortable about her wings and half demon heritage. Nobody else minds.
--->'''Setsuna:''' "This is my true form. I'm a monster, just like them. Don't misunderstand, my desire to protect Oujo-sama is real! I've just kept this a secret... because I was afraid she would hate me in this ugly form..."\\
'''Asuna:''' "What are you talking about? I think they're cool!"
* HalfHumanHybrid: A half bird-demon.
* HeroicAlbino: Implied. Eva mentions that she dyes her hair, and asks if she's wearing contacts.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Due to feeling she isn't strong enough to properly protect Konoka, Setsuna has some serious self-worth issues and tends to beat herself up every time she feels she has failed as a warrior, just like when Tsukuyomi nearly defeats her.
* HunterOfHerOwnKind: While she is a half demon herself, Setsuna uses a style of combat that was developed specifically to battle demons.
* IAmWhatIAm: She's ashamed of her white wings, which the tengu believe means she's a sign of ill omen. Her friends tell her it makes her look like an angel and she relaxes about it in front of them, though Eva shows it's still a bit of a sore spot.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Played with. Admits to feeling some attraction towards teenaged Negi, but is pretty clearly a lesbian paired off with Konoka and expressing some attraction towards Asuna.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Shinmeiryuu-style, which allows her to cut twenty-foot balls of solid ice and a HumongousMecha in half.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She's rather socially dense, largely as a result of her having very strong ideas regarding social class. While most people don't seem to be bothered by her formality, those with a perceived higher status tend to get the princess treatment, which they hate. For example, she keeps referring to Konoka as ojou-sama/milady despite Konoka always telling her to use her name and near the end of the manga she even makes Asuna cry by acting like a servant instead of as one of Asuna's closest friends after Asuna is revealed to be [[spoiler:a princess]]. The reaction was exaggerated somewhat to make Setsuna cut it out ''right this instant'', but only a little.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Through the entirety of the manga, she always feels unworthy of Konoka for one reason or the other.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World and her outfit from [[spoiler:her Pactio with Konoka]] have cat ears.
* LadyOfWar: At her best, she looks very graceful while she uses her sword.
* LettingHerHairDown: She starts to stop wearing her hair in a {{Samurai}} style side-pony tail in the later chapters once she starts growing out of her intensely serious, near-deadpan demeanor.
* LonerTurnedFriend: Starts out as a loner FailureKnight, but eventually opens up and becomes close friends with Asuna and Negi.
* LuminescentBlush: Whenever the conversation turns to her relationship with Konoka, she goes bright pink.
* MagicKnight: Chamo calls Setsuna by the trope name after he sees her using spell tags to form a defense.
* MagicPants: Appears to go between releasing her wings by [[SexyBacklessOutfit lifting the back of her shirt]] to having them appear directly through the cloth without tearing.
* MarriedToTheJob: She's very dedicated to her job as a bodyguard and seems to be unable to think of herself as something more than that, which usually makes it hard for her and Konoka to have a normal relationship.
* {{Meido}}: During the TournamentArc, Setsuna and Asuna get pressganged into wearing maid outfits to appeal to the crowd. Also [[spoiler:her outfit from her Pactio with Konoka]].
* MindControlEyes: During her BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind.
* ModestyShorts: She wears cycling shorts under her skirt.
* MyGreatestFailure: Setsuna's initial FailureKnight nature has its roots in an incident where she tried to save Konoka from drowning, fell in herself, and both were rescued by someone else. As a result, Setsuna constantly tries to train harder so it won't happen again.
* PerpetualMolt: Setsuna always leaves a dramatic shower of feathers behind whenever she spreads her wings.
* ThePioneer: [[spoiler:According to the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, she became one of the most famous first-generation pilots of the space age.]]
* PlayboyBunny: During the early Mahorafest arc, she gets dragged into a playboy bunny outfit. Chao snickers at her when she tries to use a cool line.
* PowerGivesYouWings: In ''Negima!?'' her wings come from her pactio card.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: She is considered beautiful because of her incredibly pale skin and raven-black hair. However, it's implied that she actually has [[HeroicAlbino white hair]].
* {{Sarashi}}: A trained swordswoman who wears the sarashi bra version.
* SchoolgirlLesbians: The subtext of her relationship with Konoka just kept getting more and more obvious, leading all the way to [[spoiler:the Pactio with one of the longest kisses ever]], then continues getting more blatant with Setsuna's CovertPervert fantasy sequences. [[TransparentCloset You're not fooling anyone there, Setsuna.]] This becomes MORE obvious in Negima?! and is the subject of several eyecatches.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: She is almost always seen wearing her school uniform.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: The traditional clothes of her people.
* SlipknotPonytail: When Chao wants to show that Setsuna can't match her, she casually yanks off her hair band before Setsuna even notices.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She tries to show herself as a cold and levelheaded swordswoman, but she is actually very kind and caring. Konoka knows it and usually tries to bring out her warmer side.
* SuperSenses: Setsuna's Ki allows her to at least triple her senses.
* ThunderShock: At one point she makes a terrible joke and has to apologize for it after the thunder disappears.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's mostly a serious, samurai-like ActionGirl and seems to feel comfortable to wear masculine clothing on occasion, but she still has her has her bouts of girliness.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Started as cold as ice due to seeing herself as a FailureKnight, but after the events of the Kyoto Arc, she opened up a lot more and became friendlier. Lampshaded by Evangeline during their match in the Mahora Festival TournamentArc.
* TransparentCloset: Setsuna is so obviously lesbian for her "{{Ojou}}-sama" Konoka that practically everyone knows it despite her frequent denials.
* TsurimeEyes: She had much sharper eyes early on as a way to mark her as the serious and distant ActionGirl obsessed with maintaining her abilities as a swordswoman she was at the beginning and to contrast Konoka's TaremeEyes. When she starts letting her emotions out, they become noticeably rounder.
* WaifFu: She has a thin build and is quite short, but she's quite strong. However, she favors skill based techniques rather than strength.
* WingedHumanoid: Due to being a half bird-demon, Setsuna has a pair of wings that she can summon at will. Occasionally, Setsuna will have her wings in a cute little 'cupid' form, although this might just be for laughs.
* WingPull: During the end of the Kyoto trip Setsuna was forced to reveal the wings she normally keeps hidden.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Chamo thought she ''looked'' like one at first. She's not even close, though.

[[folder:Hasegawa Chisame]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2398.JPG]]

The only character without a WeirdnessCensor, Chisame was introduced as a strange girl with a [[LivingADoubleLife double life]] -- a grumpy loner at school, but also internet idol "Chiu" at home. Her initial function was to [[MetaGuy snark about the implausibility]] of the situations she finds herself roped in, and initially tries [[AgentScully to deny or devise a mundane explanation]] for the supernatural events she witness, until Chachamaru confirms that she is indeed a robot, that Negi is also a powerful mage, and that she stumbled upon a plot to reveal magic to the world. Chisame thus gets involved in the plot to help maintain the life she's familiar with.

->'''Voiced by:''' Yumi Shimura (Japanese) and Creator/CaitlinGlass (English)
----
* ActionSurvivor: She's a relatively normal girl who's forced into the magical world to survive on her own, which she manages with Negi's help.
* ApathyKilledTheCat: Played with. She seems like she's trying to avoid how things work, but at the same time she's the only one who actually seems to think it matters.
* ButtMonkey: Bad things just happen to her, though it's rarely serious.
* CantStayNormal: A more reluctant example, having been metaphorically dragged down to paranormal kicking and screaming before leaping out to gasp for air, only to discover that air is now too easy and boring, and therefore ending up in a combination of being dragged down again and saying "the hell with it".
* CosplayOtakuGirl: The first time she's a focus character, she was dressing up in various costumes for her website.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Yue, Chisame had a tendency early on to lampshade the absurdity of the situation. Unlike Yue, she really grew into the role rather than slowly losing it. This is about ten times funnier when she's in her Chiu outfit.
* TheDragAlong: Post Mahorafest she wanted to stay by herself and keep out of the group, but Chachamaru always dragged her along. When Chachamaru apparently briefly quits it, she gets bored and comes along voluntarily.
* {{Expy}}: Like Asuna, Akamatsu considers her an expy of Naru from ''LoveHina'', though of 'nerdy Naru' as opposed to Asuna's 'protective Naru.'
* GenericCuteness: She's ''supposed'' to have bad skin and pimples, but it doesn't show. Of course, the only one who actually claims that is herself, and she has notably low self esteem concerning her looks.
* GenreSavvy: While it doesn't help her much, she often predicts how events will turn sour for her. As the resident MetaGirl, she also often points tropes out.
* GirlishPigtails: In her child form.
* GreenEyedMonster: She often gets jealous when seeing Negi with other girls.
* {{Hikikomori}}: Left to her own devices she stays inside all day on the internet, though she only gets angry rather than anxious if taken out. [[spoiler:Gets worse post university.]]
* IdiotHair: She has one and she's the only class member without a WeirdnessCensor.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Frequently loudly moans about how she wants all the magic to go away and leave her alone [[spoiler:but she's lying; She's perfectly content with how involved she is.]]
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Cat ears and a tail in the Magic World.
* LittleMissSnarker: Thanks to some liberal use of age changing pills, she looks a 10 year old girl and is still as snarky as ever.
* LivingADoubleLife: A grumpy loner at school and the internet idol "Chiu" at home.
* MetaGal: She knows all about how fantasy stories go, which really helps her keep up with everything going on.
* NerdGlasses: She doesn't actually need them, but likes to hide behind them.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Most notably when [[spoiler: Poyo's LotusEaterMachine]] proves that she's the happiest and most satisfied with living in a FantasyKitchenSink of anyone in the group.
* OnlySaneWoman: Or so she wants to be. Negi seems to think so, considering he's more or less appointed her as his [[LizLemonJob "voice of reason"]], at least until [[spoiler:they rescue Asuna]].
* PlayboyBunny: One of Chiu's costumes.
* PlayfulHacker: Falls under this when she's not being the MetaGal.
* ProudToBeAGeek: Even as grumpy as she is, she loves being a geek.
* PurelyAestheticGlasses: She actually has ''better'' than average vision, and uses the glasses to hide behind.
* RapunzelHair: It reaches her waist.
* RefusalOfTheCall: She fights to get away from the weirdness, at first.
* TheSnarkKnight: ''Extremely'' distant and snarky when formally introduced. Her attitude gradually toned down quite a bit as she integrated into the central cast, but she still qualifies.
* StraightMan: One of the most normal people in the series. Or at least, the only one who seems to notice how crazy everything is. She even points out the weirdness of her class in her focus episode in the anime.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Acts as one for Asuna during the Mundus Magicus arc before Negi meets up with her again. After that she shifts roles slightly into more of an adviser rather than directly limiting his actions. Lampshaded by Jack.
* {{Technopath}}: Chisame's artifact allows a mental internet link.
* TechnoWizard: Becomes one after her pactio.
* TemptingFate: She shouldn't have joked about fighting someone in the middle of a conspiracy. Or about making a Pactio.
* {{Tsundere}}: Described as a borderline case by Akamatsu. She actually likes the Ala Alba group, Chachamaru and Negi quite a bit, but since she's naturally abrasive she hates to show it. She also can get even more violent than Asuna when it comes to Negi.
* {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs, but during her focus chapter post-Mundus Magicus she was talking about pulling an "IfICantHaveYou" on Negi.
--> '''Chisame:''' "Oh yeah, you're gonna get stabbed and killed one day! No, I'm going to stab you and then I'll die too."

[[folder:Inugami Kotarō]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00228867_2235.jpg]]

Negi's [[FireForgedFriends best friend]] and [[TheRival rival]] ever since he got [[DefeatMeansFriendship pummelled by him]] during the Kyoto ClassTrip. In many ways, he's a textbook {{shonen}} action protagonist, and often contrasted to Negi, to whom he sometimes (futilely) tries teaching how to act like a [[IdiotHero brash and overconfident]] hero rather than a meek and [[{{Keigo}} polite]] BadassBookworm. Kotaro is still in the 'girls have cooties' stage of development, though Chizuru and Natsumi become surrogate older sisters for him.

As he's [[HalfHumanHybrid Half]]-[[{{Inugami}} Dog Demon]], he can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting change shape]]. Usually, he looks human, except for [[LittleBitBeastly his ears and tail]], but can transform into a giant wolf-like dog or [[WolfMan something in between]]. He favors pure hand to hand combat, but also has the ability to control dog familiars and shadows.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue (Japanese)
----
* AdaptedOut: Didn't appear in the anime until the new OAD series.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Because of being a half youkai, he was an outcast of both human and youkai tribes. This makes him value both his friendship with Negi, and living with Chizuru and Natsumi, as they become the only true friends or family he's ever had.
* AnimalStereotypes: He styles himself as a [[IWorkAlone lone wolf]], but often lapses into [[IncrediblyLamePun doggishness]] and ends up being "domesticated" by Chizuru and Natsumi.
* {{Animorphism}}: Puppy when powers sealed, giant wolf when fully released.
* BattleAura: When unleashing his Shadow Hounds.
* BigEater: He eats a lot.
* BishieSparkle: In his teenaged form.
* {{Bishonen}}: His teenage form, much like Negi.
* BloodKnight: He loves fighting, though mostly because, as he admits, fighting is really the only thing he knows.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's rough and loud, but friendly to his allies.
* BrattyHalfPint: He's portrayed as a loud, overconfident, immature and troublesome kid, especially in his earlier appearances. This is why [[{{Shotacon}} Ayaka]] can't stand him. Some CharacterDevelopment allows him to become more mature.
* CanisMajor: His strongest form Kuon Eisou, in which he completely transforms into a wolf beast.
* CastingAShadow: He has the ability to summon vast swarms of autonomous spirit wolves made of darkness/shadow.
* ChasteHero: Just like Negi, he's oblivious to the romance thing because he hasn't even hit puberty yet.
* ChickMagnet: He attracts nearly as many ladies as Negi at the ball.
* CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: Carries Asuna's {{BFS}} between his teeth in the Magic World tournament. Not that he had much of a choice since [[spoiler:he had transformed into his monster wolf form]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: Post-HeelFaceTurn since his secondary skillset is shadow based KiAttacks.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Right before [[spoiler:their Pactio]], Kotaro tells Natsumi he will protect her because she's like family to him.
* {{Expy}}: By WordOfGod and obvious character design, he's a clear expy of Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'s eponymous character.
* GirlsHaveCooties: Plays this fairly straight (especially the romance thing), with a few exceptions in his adoptive sisters and girls who can fight. That said, he still thinks kissing is gross.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A Half-Dog Demon.
* HarbingerOfImpendingDoom: He returns after the Kyoto arc by being found injured by Chizuru and Natsumi.
* HealingFactor: He explains it as an "ability of the Inugami clan". It's not Wolverine-class, but he's taken multiple swords to the chest and recovered.
* HeelFaceTurn: He first appeared as one of [[StarterVillain Chigusa's lackeys]].
* HotBlooded: He is much more of a classic shounen protagonist than Negi himself.
* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: During the tournament finals, Kotaro gets the unfortunate role of punching bag while Negi sets up for the finishing techniques. The mauling he gets is quite brutal.
* IdiotHero: A proud and acknowledged one.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He hurts Natsumi's feelings without realizing it when [[spoiler:he says that having to form a Pactio with her is gross. After a series of misunderstandings, he explains to her that he meant that [[GirlsHaveCooties he thinks kissing is gross]], not kissing her in particular.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rough, likes to fight and is much less of an overall NiceGuy than Negi, but still a good guy.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: He speaks with this kind of accent.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: He has dog ears and a tail.
* TheLancer: Contrasting Negi, he's much more aggressive and impulsive, though he's still the closest thing Negi has to a partner after Asuna.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Between Kyoto and Graf Wilhelm, his memory is briefly wiped to prevent him leaking information.
* LimitedWardrobe: He always wears the same casual attire.
* LonerTurnedFriend: Kotaro never had any friends before meeting Negi.
* MagicPants: His pants remain perfectly intact as he transforms into his beast form.
* MeaningfulName: "Inugami" means "dog spirit".
* MonsterRoommate: Chizuru and Natsumi find an abandoned puppy, which turns into a little boy with a tail and sharp claws. They basically adopt him.
* MrFanservice: What else do you call wearing a black leather jacket, black leather pants, sneakers and no shirt paired with said jacket?
* NoSocialSkills: Having been abandoned as a child and spent his whole life doing anything normal besides training to fight, Kotaro doesn't know how to socialize with people very well.
* ObliviousToLove: He doesn't understand why Natsumi has {{Luminescent Blush}}es and shows {{Tsundere}} tendencies when he's around her.
* OlderAlterEgo: His teenaged form "Kojirou".
* TheRival: To Negi.
* SarcasticDevotee: He always insults Negi, but he is also one of his most loyal friends.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Explicitly states that his school uniform is his battle garb.
* SexierAlterEgo: His teenaged form "Kojirou" can be quite charming in a bad boy sort of way. Natsumi gets really flustered around him and even tends to forget his real age.
* ShonenHair: He has spiky black hair like the stereotypical shounen protagonist.
* ShortHairWithTail: He has a tail tied at the nape of his neck coming from his ShonenHair.
* StreetUrchin: His backstory.
* TastesLikeFriendship: Kotaro is first greeted by Chizuru and Natsumi with a homecooked meal (after an appetizer of MarshmallowHell); his constant complimenting of Chizuru's cooking pretty much seals it.
* WalkingTheEarth: At least seven years after Class 3-A's graduation, he simply ran off for some "ninja training". [[spoiler:Natsumi would follow suit, and after years of BelligerentSexualTension, they finally marry.]]
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: He even asks IsItSomethingYouEat. By the ball he acknowledges familial love.
* WouldntHitAGirl: It's actually presented as a deeply stupid comportment, and several of the {{Action Girl}}s like Kaede have tried to ''literally'' beat it out of him.

[[folder:Miyazaki Nodoka]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_9591.JPG]]

Nodoka is a quiet and seemingly shy girl in the Library Exploration Club. She quickly develops a crush on Negi and forms a pactio during the Kyoto arc, gaining an artifact that allows her to read minds, which she uses to help acquire information for the group. Despite her ShrinkingViolet attitude, she's actually quite bold when it comes to pursuing Negi. She's normally associated with her club mates and close friends Yue and Haruna.

->'''Voiced by:''' MamikoNoto (Japanese) and Creator/LeahClark (English)
----
* ACupAngst: She laments her small bust size once.
* ApologisesALot: Especially when she's either thinking an improper thought, or using her mind-reading ability in a diabolical manner (what else to be expected from a ShrinkingViolet?)
* CovertPervert: Despite her looks and usual personality, her subconscious tends to have some rather filthy fantasies, up to and including devising a kind of [[ThreesomeSubtext menage a trois]] as a solution to her LoveTriangle with Yue; thanks to Diarium Ejus, she is aware of and mortified by her subconscious' rather direct approaches to such things. And so is everybody who was reading over her shoulder.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and eyes.
* CuteBookworm: She's shy, quiet and is part of a club devoted to exploring the library.
* DesignatedVictim: During the Magic World, she's first attacked by bounty hunters to lure out Kaede and Setsuna and later Shirabe, Fate and Dynamis all make attempts to eliminate her due to her mind reading artifact.
* DoesNotLikeMen: In the anime she had a level of androphobia.
* DoggedNiceGirl: In fact, Nodoka was the ''first'' girl in the class to confess her feelings to Negi all the way back in the Kyoto arc.
* {{Expy}}: She's clearly one to Akamatsu's earlier character, [[Manga/LoveHina Shinobu Maehara]]. They look extremely similar and have the same shy, quiet attitude. Both are also know to be {{Covert Pervert}}s.
* HeroicBSOD: After seeing [[spoiler:Craig and Aisha get erased from existence]] in front of her her mind shuts down and Asakura is seemingly left alone desperately trying to think of a way out. She quickly recovers, however, and [[spoiler:steals Dynamis' Grandmaster Key.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Not that good at receiving praise, even if it was well-earned.
* HiddenEyes: She started with [[BlindingBangs very long bangs obscuring her eyes]], to highlight her terminal shyness. As her shyness subsided, she [[PeekABangs first became cyclopean]] then was drawn normally.
* IdiotHair: She has one.
* InSeriesNickname: "Hon'ya", Japanese for "Bookstore" or potentially Bookstore keeper. The English translation at first [[InconsistentDub jumped back and forth]] between "Librarian", "Bookshop", and variants thereof before eventually settling on the literal translation, "Bookstore". It can also mean "bookworm" (the "ya" being sometimes indicative of a character trait or an deep interest in something).
* LivingLieDetector: Diarium Ejus can read minds with a great deal of detail, so in situations where she's safe from retaliation it makes her excellent at information recovery with no chance of misinformation.
* {{Munchkin}}: After being separated from the group in Mundus Magicus she joined a group of treasure hunters. She eschews any valuable treasure, instead aiming for ''Comptina Daemonia'' and ''Auris Recitans''. These items' powers combine with her Diarium Ejus to make it useful in real time instead of having to rely on the target willingly giving up their name and letting Nodoka sit down and read.
* NiceGirl: She's gentle and supportive even of her love rivals.
* PeekABangs: After opening up a little her eyes begin appearing more and more until finally the bangs essentially vanish.
* PluckyGirl: Negi getting his ass kicked by Fate? She gets Kotaro to teleport her in right next to Fate to figure out his plan. [[spoiler:Friends get erased from existence right in front of her]]? Panic for a few seconds, then [[spoiler:read his mind, steal his key and teleport to safety with critical information.]] Just because she's quiet doesn't mean she's a coward.
* ShrinkingViolet: Subverted. She's quite shy, but it's note that she's actually very assertive when it comes to pursuing Negi including a quick confession and getting a date in during Mahorafest. There's a reason her Pactio card lists "courage" as her virtue.
* WeakButSkilled: She has no combat abilities, very little magic, and effectively no experience. She does, however, have a mind reading artifact that allows her exploit an enemy's weak points in order to avoid their attacks despite being far slower and weaker than they are.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple, to be precise. (becomes blue in Negima?! though)

[[folder:Ayase Yue]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_1503.JPG]]

Yue is an [[TeenGenius extremely intelligent]] but cynical girl with [[BrilliantButLazy demotivation]] issues stemming from [[ParentalAbandonment the death of her beloved grandfather]]. She's normally quiet, distant and snarky but very supportive of her friends and Nodoka in particular, who reached out to her when she was isolated. This has some emotional consequences for her when she ends up in a LoveTriangle with her and Negi, who is largely oblivious. Most people find it difficult to read her emotions.

Yue has a fair talent for magic, but her primary strength is her intellect and quick thinking skills, which allow her to quickly come up with strategies.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsukoKuwatani (Japanese) and Creator/BrinaPalencia (English)
----
* ACupAngst: From early on, she's sure she's unattractive with her childlike body.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She's not that strong even after the Ariadne arc, but she's ''very'' well prepared and thinks things through far further ahead than almost anyone else in the story, including preparing multiple contingency spells upon seeing [[spoiler:an electric Averruncus.]]
* BadassBack: Intercepts a shadow puppet coming up behind her with her massive Ariadne sword.
* BadassBookworm: She's tiny and looks weak, but is actually a part of the library exploration club and has some pretty good survival skills. She also ends up becoming a fairly competent mage.
* BookDumb: She's one of the smartest girls in the class, but she gets poor grades and is one of the baka rangers. It's implied on occasion though that she just doesn't like studying mundane subjects. Her position in the philosophy club might play a role in this.
* BrilliantButLazy: The reason for her poor grades is that for a TeenGenius, Yue is also ''extremely'' unmotivated and she refuses to put any effort in. Once she gets a goal she wants to accomplish, she can learn in mere weeks what takes others years.
* CannotSpitItOut: She spends a good two or three hundred chapters unable to admit her feelings to Negi for him despite everyone, even rivals, telling her to do it.
* CovertPervert: If [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg59/Xophien/KamoRankings.jpg Chamo's charts]] are accurate, her ero rating is slightly less than Nodoka, and on par with ''Evangeline''.
* CrazyPrepared: She predicted that [[spoiler:Quintum]] would leave her paralyzed and cast a paralysis release spell in herself. Furthermore, she had sixteen predictions of how [[spoiler:Quintum]] would take them down, and it's highly possible that she had prepared countermeasures for each outcome.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and eyes. In Negima?! she gains purple stockings.
* CuteWitch: Her pactio outfit puts her in a cute witch outfit complete with black witch's hat.
* DarkMagicalGirl: Yue rarely expresses real concern about the danger she's in, but at the thought she might have hurt or offended Nodoka she's reduced to tears. Nodoka was the first person to really approach her during an isolated time of her life.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's almost always very flat and emotionless looking to go along with her sarcastic side.
* DullSurprise: In ''Negima!?'', in one of the early omake segments with the Baka Rangers, while the Bakas make ready to fight their enemies, with Yue wanting to call their "giant robot", Makie is complaining that she [[RunningGag never got to do her introduction properly]]. The Baka Rangers agree to let her go first (she had been last every time). She tries to do so, [[BrickJoke and the giant robot foot comes down on Makie]], [[RunningGag interrupting her]].
-->'''Yue:''' [[DullSurprise Hey guys,]] [[CaptainObvious the robot's here]].
* EmotionlessGirl: Not really emotionless, but much more stoic than her friends, due to showing the same blasé face most of the time. It's lampshaded during the exploration of Library Island.
-->'''Konoka:''' You're really excited aren't you?\\
'''Yue:''' … hehe, does it show that much?\\
'''Asuna:''' (thinking) No it doesn't, she just has the same expression as usual…
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Haruna [[LampShadeHanging lampshades]] this trope after observing the [[ClingyJealousGirl various reactions]] of Yue's mini-harem to Yue. Needless to say, Yue isn't amused at all.
* {{Expy}}: On top of her basic physical design, she matches the [[TheQuietOne quiet]] [[SugarAndIcePersonality and reserved]] nature of VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'s Patchouli Knowledge. She's also a magical librarian and tends to wear the same outfits.
* ForeheadOfDoom: Her hair keeps her bangs out of her forehead, leaving a giant forehead for all to see.
* GagBoobs: In her Drama CD, Collette points out to Yue how small-chested she is and wants to fix it, prompting her, Emily, and Beatrix to "help" her. We all know how this ends.
* GenreSavvy: In the first season of the anime, Yue is the only person to figure out that the "Negi" who has her isn't really him. How can she tell? He starts showing more of an interest in her.
* HeroicBSOD: When Nodoka finds out about Yue's crush on Negi, Yue completely freaks out, believing Nodoka will hate her because of "betraying" her and says she would rather [[DrivenToSuicide "disappear"]] than losing Nodoka's friendship. She only calms down after Nodoka's GetAHoldOfYourselfMan.
* HighPressureEmotion: Twice in rapid succession after meeting up with Negi again, though one could say it's just one continuous moment. Doesn't mean it's not ridiculously cute and funny, especially given Collet and Emily's reactions.
* HotWitch: In the DistantFinale she's grown quite a bit taller and has more adult proportions.
* IdiotHair: Subverted. She has the hair and is one of the baka rangers, but that's actually due to nearly going out of her way to do badly.
* InSeriesNickname: Yuecchi, Yuekichi and a few more in regards to her height and [[ForeheadOfDoom large forehead]]. [[EmbarrassingNickname She isn't fond of the latter nicknames.]]
* InsecureLoveInterest: Yue spends a couple of chapters angsting about how she can't confess to Negi simply because she can't remember the reason why she fell for him in the first place. She also states that "nobody would lay eyes on this body".
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She only wishes for Negi to be happy with Nodoka, though Nodoka actually seems to get tired of her passivity.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Once she got in on the {{Masquerade}}.
* LittleMissBadass: Being vertically challenged doesn't prevent her from cementing her status on this page amongst her fellow {{Badass}} [[TrueCompanions Companions]] through a series of {{Awesome Moments}}.
* LittleMissSnarker: She's small and tends to be quietly sarcastic.
* LonerTurnedFriend: In her backstory, she used to be a loner, Nodoka was the first person to befriend her.
* MagicKnight: After her training at Ariadne she becomes a fairly good mage and acquires a massive sword.
* MarilynManeuver: Once did it to herself by accident when trying to demonstrate a spell.
* MatchmakerCrush: Tries to help Nodoka win over Negi, but then there's [[LoveTriangle the issue of her own growing feelings for him]].
* NewTransferStudent: Yue got to play the part for a while in the Magic World.
* OccultDetective: After the TimeSkip at the end of the manga.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She's fifteen, but looks only slightly older than Negi.
* ParentalAbandonment: The death of her beloved grandfather had such a negative effect on her that she shut herself off from the rest of the world. Since he's the only family member mentioned in Yue's life, it's possible he was the only one she had.
* ThePhilosopher: She normally averts the inaction bit of the trope, but it's noted that for all her high speed thinking she tends to get sidetracked and think about pointless things easily.
* PottyEmergency: Since she drinks juice so often she always seems to be in the bathroom. [[spoiler:Becomes a notable weak-point when consuming her large potion in 354.]] It's suggested that Yue wears more "adult" underwear as a result.
* PuttingOnMyThinkingCap: She seems to have the most going on in her head when she's calmly sipping an odd drink of some kind with a slightly blank look in her eyes.
* RapunzelHair: Down to her waist until the end of the manga.
* RedMage: While she primarily favors offensive magic, she also has a number of support and healing spells.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Her default pactio outfit gives her a long, open robe and a witch's hat.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: Her lack of height is the most emphasized in the main cast and she's also the most analytical and intelligent barring Negi himself.
* TheSnarkKnight: Initially a textbook example, complete with frequent thoughts of being "{{surrounded by idiots}}". These wanes later on, as she became part of the main group and developed a crush on Negi, though she's still quick to dissociate herself from the group whenever the insanity becomes overwhelming.
* TheStoic: She tends to be very calm and in control of her emotions [[NotSoStoic until she feels she's let Nodoka down]] or [[LuminescentBlush Negi gets too charming.]] She also doesn't handle [[spoiler:Emily's apparent death]] well either.
* StraightMan: In contrast to the quiet and polite Nodoka and the ridiculous Haruna, Yue tends to be quietly sarcastic.
* StrawNihilist: She pretty much felt that the world was without meaning following the death of her grandfather. Luckily, she got better when she befriended Nodoka, Haruna, and Konoka.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She appears to be [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless]], but she cares very much about her friends and being part of a LoveTriangle with her best friend causes her to break down and reveal a very warm side.
* TeenGenius: Not only is Yue one of the smartest girls in Class 3-A, she's also one of the smartest characters in the entire series.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: She once cheated during a pillow fight by hiding thick dictionaries in her pillows.
* TookALevelInBadass: At the start of the series she was a muggle and before going to the magic world she still wasn't as good as Negi was at the beginning of the series.
** Once in the Magic World, however, she enrolled in the Ariadne Academy for knights due to amnesia based lack of direction. With her memories not holding her effort back, she puts in some amazingly hard work and within about a month becomes the academy's top student [[spoiler:and planning out the successful defeat of a griffin dragon.]]
** During the chapters of the manga there's a brief skip forward to what Yue is doing now. [[spoiler:She has invented a completely safe, liquid-based Magia Erebea-like spell storage and release system. While she doesn't seem to get the physical benefits Negi does, Yue also doesn't seem to get any of the physical detriments. All she needs to do is take a swig of a potion, and she has a bunch of spells for instant cast whenever the hell she wants. Damn Yue.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's often shown with a juice of outlandish composition in hand, though the actual contents are always different.
* TransformationSequence: In her spin-off {{OVA}} she gets a long pactio equipping scene. Her bra seems to pity her.
* TsurimeEyes: Fitting with her snarky and unsocial nature are her serious looking eyes.
* VerbalTic: Overuses ''desu'' and speaks like [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness an encyclopedia]].
* WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have much in the way of raw power yet, but she's already an expert in magical theory despite the short time she's had to really learn about it. [[spoiler:Taking down a griffin dragon with a ceremonial knife by exploiting tiny weak points? Yes, please.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: Future Yue's potion power-up comes with one major weakness, namely that she only has so much time before all that liquid she drinks runs its course and leaves her with the natural consequences.
* WorthlessForeignDegree: In the epilogue Yue runs into this problem as [[{{Terraform}} ISS]][[SpaceElevator DA]] didn't accept her degree and career history from MagicWorld.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is purple.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Wears thigh high black stockings, which are purple in Negima?!

[[folder:Karakuri Chachamaru]]
[[quoteright:284:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_4046.JPG]]

Chachamaru is a robot designed by Chao and Hakase with a magic based power source fueled by Evangeline, her master. Despite looking older than many of her classmates, she is in fact the youngest person in the cast at only two years of age. She tends to appear emotionless, but is very kind and helpful. She also likes to tease Evangeline with a completely straight face. She has a crush on Negi, which causes issues for her since she's forced into conflict with him twice before she's able to act as an ally. During the second incident she makes friends with Chisame despite the latter's irritation with anything outside the ordinary, which definitely extends to humanoid robots going to middle school.

Chachamaru is designed to be quite tough and appears to know some form of martial arts. She also has many weapons hidden inside her body and as a robot has information warfare capabilities.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkenoWatanabe (Japanese) and Creator/CaitlinGlass (English)
----
* ActionGirl: She was Negi's entrance exam for Eva's training. Later, she beats up a dragon.
* {{Adorkable}}: She has her moments of cute awkwardness, especially around Negi.
* AnimalMotifs: She has an association with the better qualities of cats. They even feature into her pactio.
* ArmCannon: Part of her new {{Swiss Army Appendage}}s from her MidSeasonUpgrade.
* BadassAdorable: This RobotGirl can make [[spoiler:a KillSat]] look really cute.
* BadLiar: When her teasing antics are turned against her, she gets badly flustered and makes some incredibly transparent denials.
* BareYourMidriff: In her Pactio outfit.
* BerserkButton: Trying to harm a sick Negi while Chachamaru is around is a very bad idea. It's perhaps the only time [[NiceGirl Chachamaru]] has actually looked angry.
* {{BFG}}: Her body contains weaponry and thus she can morph her arm into a cannon.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Part of her new {{Swiss Army Appendage}}s from her MidSeasonUpgrade.
* BloodFromTheMouth: After Quartum [[spoiler:cuts her in two]] she begins leaking hydraulic fluid from her mouth since she doesn't have actual blood.
* CatGirl: Of the LittleBitBeastly variety; when her Pactio card is engaged she gains kitty ears.
* CovertPervert: She feels pleasure from being refueled via the key in the back of her head, which grows more intense as more magic energy is put in. After Negi fails to realize the awkward parts of this she apparently starts looking forward to it, which Asakura teases her about. For her part, she wonders if she's heading down the wrong path in life.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and eyes.
* EmotionlessGirl: Although she is less 'emotionless' and more 'expressionless'. She has emotions, but her face doesn't display it very well.
* EyeBeams: One of her abilities. She frequently uses these for her ranged attacks.
* FanservicePack: Halfway through the story, Hakase equips her with a realistic skin to hide her robotic body, making her look like, well, pretty much a normal woman. It doesn't take long for it to be shown in a bath scene.
* FantasticArousal: The key winding gives physical pleasure similar to that of a pactio, only it lasts longer, can be more intense if more energy is added and has to be done every day if she's to be in top performance.
* FriendToAllChildren: When Negi and Asuna followed her in an early chapter, they found her surrounded by a lot of children who're playing with her while she goes around doing good deeds, like handing a balloon stuck in a tree back to the little girl who lost it.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Along with helping all the townspeople as above, she also feeds a ton of cats, which all seem to love her.
* TheGadfly: After awhile it becomes clear that she's apparently fond of teasing Eva in a completely deadpan manner.
* GlassCannon: [[spoiler:Al-Iskandariya is quite possibly Ala Alba's most powerful weapon but it does nothing for her defenses. So with a full power blast, she not only knocked out Fate's shields, she knocked him out for a good ten minutes. In a single blow. And was immediately hit with a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Quartum.]]
* HasTwoMommies: Hakase and Chao worked together to build Chachamaru with a little support from Evangeline on the power source. The former two are considered her parents and the latter her master.
* HimeCut: One of her YamatoNadeshiko traits.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: She's uncomfortable with showing her body when it looks obviously robotic, but after she gets artificial skin she's completely confused by Negi asking her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn.
* KindheartedCatLover: One of the first hints we get that Chachamaru is a lot nicer than being the minion of a vampire lord would suggest is her attitude towards cats.
* {{Magitek}}: She runs partially on magic.
* MeaningfulName: "Cha" is a common pronunciation of the Japanese character for "tea"; "karakuri" literally translates into "mechanism". The translated title for her pactio, Dreaming Doll, also ties in to her character arc.
* MoralityPet: Evangeline's treatment of her is one of the many signs that [[NobleDemon she's not as evil as she says]]. Sure, she picks on her, but she's also nearly her mother.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: She came into conflict with Negi twice despite her obvious feelings for him. Both times because were because she was unwilling to act against her parents or master.
* MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat: Apparently [[TheGadfly just to pick on them]] Chachamaru at one point starts indicating the obvious signs of attraction the girls are feeling.
* PickYourHumanHalf: When the series started, she had obvious mechanical joints, antenna ears and with only a human looking face, but also possessed the full emotional spectrum even if she couldn't always express it well. Later, though, she does look more or less completely human, retaining only the ears.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair acts as heat dissipator; thus the longer her hair, the greater the exposed surface area and thus increased efficiency in heat dissipation.
* RescueRomance: Chachamaru started to have interest in Negi after he [[TakingTheBullet took the bullet]] from his own attack after he couldn’t bring himself to hurt her.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: She wasn't ''supposed'' to be one, [[InstantAIJustAddWater but she is]]. Hakase programmed her with rudimentary emotions and to mimic human activities she cannot perform otherwise like drinking tea, but she was ''not'' supposed to develop subjectivity, which is the basis of the majority of her CharacterDevelopment.
* {{Robosexual}}: Teased at. She has obvious feelings for Negi and feels an equivalent to sexual pleasure, but the idea of making a move on him doesn't even seem to occur to her. As far as being 'anatomically correct' goes, she refused upgrades several times.
* RobotGirl: She is a very beautiful female magic robot.
* RobotHair: She has hair which is [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair pastel green]]. It's a synthetic material which functions as her heat sink, but only the color visually distinguishes it from normal hair.
* RobotNames: To clarify the above, "Karakuri" means "mechanism".
* RocketPunch: Usually played for laughs, such as punching Hakase for checking out her memory files that she wanted kept private.
* SexySecretary: Volunteers to work as Negi's secretary while [[spoiler:works on the space elevator plan.]] It's a long term project with a lot of work involved and therefore suitable for an immortal being that doesn't require sleep.
* StatuesqueStunner: She is 174cm tall and has one of the more adult figures of the class.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's obviously a kind person and recognized as such, but she's almost always monotone and expressionless if not at an emotional peak.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Her new body's arms can [[MorphWeapon morph]] into [[ArmCannon assault rifles]] or [[BladeBelowTheShoulder swords]] -- and morph [[ShapeshifterWeapon ''back'' into arms]].
* SymbolicBlood: After [[spoiler:being bisected by Quatrum]] she "bleeds" coolant.
* TinmanTypist: This is how she fights in the Mahora Battle.
* UnusualEars: Her ears are actually antennae. Chisame is frustrated that she's the [[MetaGuy only one who seems to notice this]].
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Played with. Because she can take more damage it's not unusual for this to be shown. [[spoiler:She gets cut in half by Quartum at one point because he doesn't view her as alive. The scene is completely brutal with the level of violence inflicted upon her viewed as being as unacceptable as happening to anyone else especially with the damage shown: Her innards are showing, including a structural spine and SymbolicBlood everywhere.]]
* WildCard: Because of the whole "MyMasterRightOrWrong" thing conflicting with her desire to help Negi it becomes difficult to guess how she'll act until the Magic World arc begins.
* WindUpKey: She needs to be wound up every so often. It feels very good to her, so it often causes her embarrassment in the hands of an overenthusiastic winder.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Seeing as how she was created to be acquiescent, it is not surprising that she would have this sort of SilkHidingSteel programming; she fits many of the physical requirements as well. She's also part of the same tea ceremony club as Evangeline.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has long green hair.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: The only character who is younger than Negi because she was built to look the age she does. During the ball, she also points out to an angsting Natsumi that she isn't the only one with issues. She's two years old, so what life experience could she have?
* ZettaiRyouiki: Apparently a permanent fixture in her synthetic skin. With [[FingerlessGloves Fingerless]] OperaGloves to match.

[[folder:Konoe Konoka]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2970.JPG]]

Asuna's bubbly, [[GenkiGirl energetic]] friend and roommate. She's the heir of a rich and prominent noble family, specifically a fictionalized version of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konoe_family Konoe family]] itself a branch of the ancient and aristocratic Fujiwara clan which has provided marriages for the Imperial family and once effectively ruled Japan. She is also granddaughter of Mahora's Headmaster, Konoemon. Unknown to her, they are also a line of powerful magi, and she has the potential to match her ancestors: Her raw magical capacity surpasses that of Negi himself, though she isn't able to utilize it particularly well for combat purposes.

After being let in on the secret, she started training to become the group medic, though her role gradually lessened into orbiting around Setsuna.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiNonaka (Japanese) and Creator/MonicaRial (English)
----
* {{Bifauxnen}}: In the ''Negima!? Neo'' manga, Konoka puts on a [[TheShinsengumi Shinsengumi uniform]] while Setsuna is wearing a luxurious kimono.

* DatePeepers: Watching Negi and Nodoka.
* DontCallMeSir: She doesn't like being called ojou-sama by Setsuna.
* FortuneTeller: She likes to tell fortunes as a hobby, but most of the time she makes things up out of pure amusement. This occasionally crosses into TheDitz territory when she'll try and do a form of fortune telling with something else (ie tortoiseshell readings...with eggs)
* GenkiGirl: She's very energetic and also very carefree.
* TheGlomp: She tends to deliver tackling hugs to Setsuna (or other characters occasionally).
* HealingHands: Her pactio operates along the lines of her laying on hands to an injured person and curing any injury they have taken. Her normal healing works differently.
* HimeCut: She has the hairstyle as part of her classical {{Ojou}} image.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeFashionable: She likes to dress up Setsuna.
* JumpedAtTheCall: She was already interested in fortunetelling and the occult, so finding out she's an heiress to a family of powerful mages sat well with her.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: Being from Kyoto, Konoka speaks with this kind of accent.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World has cat ears and a tail.
* LipstickLesbian: While paired off with Setsuna, Konoka is still very girly.
* LonelyRichKid: Due to being raised in a mansion deep within the mountains, Setsuna was the only friend she ever had before entering Mahora.
* TheMedic: Her role in the team; she pushes the trope so far that she acts like a WhiteMagicianGirl and often appears in the standard red-rimmed white garb of the Japanese RPG white mage.
* ModestRoyalty: Despite being a rich {{Ojou}}, she chooses to live as the other students and has so far used her vast fortune only once in the series.
* NakedApron: In [[CovertPervert Setsuna's]] dream in [[spoiler:the LotusEaterMachine]] she's wearing nothing but an apron and cooking Setsuna breakfast while sleepy.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She tends to be very clingy and huggy with Setsuna, much to her embarrassment.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Tends to play TheDitz, and while there's no denying that she's a bit flaky, she often knows a lot more than anyone gives her credit for.
* {{Ojou}}: Her family is extremely rich. And yet, she still manages to be the ''least'' royal person living in her room.

-->'''Setsuna:''' Ojousama really has grown into a beautiful young woman. Why am I so shaken up?
* SpoiledSweet: She is extremely rich and was raised in a BigFancyHouse, but Konoka is a really sweet girl.

[[folder:Ku Fei]]
[[quoteright:289:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_8721.JPG]]

Ku Fei is a Chinese exchange student with incredible skill in martial arts and immense strength. Seeing her skill, Negi asks her to teach him kenpo, which he picks up at a rate she considers unfair. Because she starts the series unable to use ki, she tends to lag behind the heavier hitters like Kaede despite being considered her superior when it comes to sheer skill in martial arts.

Her grades don't match her physical ability in the slightest and she speaks with an accent. She also has a rather straightforward and friendly personality.

->'''Voiced by:''' Hazuki Tanaka (Japanese, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'' and ''Negima!?''), Creator/KanaAsumi (Japanese, ''Mou Hitotsu no Sekai'' onwards), Creator/CynthiaCranz (English)
----
* ActionGirl: She is the captain of the martial arts club.
* AnimeChineseGirl: She usually wears a {{qipao}} and knows martial arts. She even puts her hair up in a pair of {{odango}} sometimes.
* BareFistedMonk: She is a good fist figther and wipes the floor with weapon-users routinely.
* BookDumb: By her own admission, Ku Fei is good at "everything but studying", to the point where, when it becomes a concern of the other girls that Negi might be developing a crush on her, they initially dismiss it because they think she's an idiot.
* CannotKeepASecret: She's told to keep a secret during Mahorafest twice, once regarding Albireo's true identity and another time regarding Chao planning to leave the class. She blurts it out almost instantly both times.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: A bit ditzy, but not out-and-out crazy.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: In a world filled with [[FantasyKitchenSink mages, vampires, half-demons, ninjas, robots]] and other beings somewhat cognizant of magic, she achieved [[BadassNormal exceptional strength in battle]] [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower by training a lot]] in her chosen style. Once the difficulty spiked for her, she started using ki rather than pure martial arts as well as making a Pactio with Negi. Her relative weakness often makes her more impressive looking in universe
--->'''Chisame:''' "She's just close enough to human that we can tell how ridiculously good she is."
* {{Expy}}: Of [[LoveHina Kaolla Su]] in terms of appearance and personality.
* FlashStep: Against Mana, during the ''[=MahoraFest=] Tournament''.
* GirlishPigtails: Her hair is bound up in spiky tails.
* HeirToTheDojo: She is the successor to the Ku warrior clan. [[spoiler:And as of the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, she has since set up a dojo to accommodate challengers and future followers alike.]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser: She weaponized cloth in her fight with Mana.
* KungFuKid: As far as martial arts go she's basically the highest level fighter in the group, but her control of ki lags behind the rest of the group.
* VerbalTic: She uses "Aru" instead of the proper sentence endings, which is anime code for "I am an anime character with a Chinese accent." In official translations she gets HulkSpeak instead while fan translations leave it untranslated. For some reason, she loses it in the first anime but regains it in ''[[NegimaSecondSeason Negima!?]]''.
* WaifFu: She looks rather scrawny, but when she flexes muscles suddenly start bulging everywhere.
* YouNoTakeCandle: She turns into this starting from around Volume 7 of the English manga, possibly to make it clear that she's Chinese rather than Japanese. Prior to that she speaks like a normal schoolgirl.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Starting in Chapter 55, when she is first seen in a non-school outfit. The formal qipao she wore when she got her Pactio also counts, even though it is quite long, but the cut is also quite high so it shows off her legs and socks nicely.

[[folder:Nagase Kaede]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_3639.JPG]]

As a {{Ninja}} of considerable skill, Kaede is generally a wise mentor figure to the group when she's not serving as its [[ActionGirl muscle]]. She is portrayed as more powerful than Negi himself in the early stages of the story despite initially [[{{Muggle}} not knowing about magic at all]] and it is not until a decent length into the story that Negi manages to catch up to and surpass her. Her grades are not that great, but she doesn't appear to be unintelligent. Rather, she apparently spends too much time training.

Kaede fights using her ninja abilities, making her very fast, able to use many powerful shadow clones and having a high degree of strength and skill.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyokoShiraishi (Japanese), Clarine Harp (English)
----
* ActionGirl: Comes naturally with being a ninja. During Mahorafest she was able to match up against Albireo, who should be ''much'' stronger than her, though he was obviously unwilling to use potentially lethal attacks.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: She uses a peculiar style of archaic speech patterns, notably ending her sentences with "de gozaru" or "nari", usually associated with Ninja or Samurai warriors. They are often left untranslated, or in the case of the anime, cut out entirely.
* {{Badass}}: Until around midway through the Magic World arc, she was probably the strongest fighter in the group. During the Mahorafest semifinals she demonstrated the ability to stall Albireo so well that in order to avoid losing by votes in overtime he was forced to pull out his TooAwesomeToUse pactio[[note]]It can only be used for several minutes and then becomes useless forever[[/note]] in order to subdue her non-lethally. [[spoiler:In the Magic World finale she had the best showing of any allied fighter not named Negi or Chachamaru by briefly matching Quintum before going for a non combat victory.]]
* BadassCape: Her artifact, Tengu no Kakuremino, takes the form of a ragged looking cloth worn as a cape.
* BadassInANiceSuit: During the ball she wears a nice suit rather than a dress because she wants to be able to move around easily.
* BigSisterInstinct: Towards Negi and Kotaro. The charts say that her romantic feelings for them are low, but the sisterly/motherly ones are [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale off the scale]]. She also seems to take care of the twins.
* BookDumb: She doesn't seem as dumb as Ku Fei and is a good strategist to boot. She still manages to be one of the five worst students in the class with the most commonly accepted explanation being that the {{Ninja}} training is probably interfering with her studies.
* CatSmile: Especially prominent due to EyesAlwaysShut.
* CoolBigSis: To Negi and Kotaro.
* EyesAlwaysShut: So far she has only been seen with both eyes open about a dozen times; each time signifies [[LetsGetDangerous she means business]].
* FlatCharacter: Tall, protective and wise ninja. Not much more to say about her.
* FuumaShuriken: Her shuriken is at least six feet from tip to tip and provides the Page image. [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Deified, as well]].
* HaremNanny: Her romantic feelings are low, but her motherly feelings are very high. As a result, she's very protective and calm compared to the more emotional girls like Asuna or Ku Fei.
* HeirToTheDojo: Though it's only mentioned in [[AllThereInTheManual her character design notes]].
* IdiotHair: As one of the Baka Rangers, she gets to have an idiot hair. She seems smarter than most of the group though.
* {{Ninja}}: Although she doesn't necessarily [[HighlyVisibleNinja stick out like a sore thumb]].
* {{Sarashi}}: Being a {{Ninja}} and everything, she uses sarashi as a bra.
* ShortHairWithTail: Her hair has a short part in a straight bob and a long part of her hair in a ponytail tied at the nape of her neck that reaches her feet.
* SlipknotPonytail: Chao snatches her hair band to prove a point about the different levels of ability between the two and show Kaede can't hope to beat her.
* StaticCharacter: She's already calm and sure of where she wants to go in life, leaving her as one of the more stable and mellow members of the cast throughout its run.
* StatuesqueStunner: One of the tallest girls in the series with 183cm tall and the second largest bust. [[LampshadeHanging She can't pass for her actual age at all.]]
* TomboyishSidetails: Her sidetails are longer than the short part of her hair.
* TsurimeEyes: 95% of the time, she's EyesAlwaysShut, but when she does open them, they are this shape.
* VaporWear: Just look at that picture. She is probably not wearing underwear.
* WalkingTheEarth: The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue reveals that she has since become a wanderer helping her friends along the way when not training on Earth with Ku Fei.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's afraid of frogs. This is based on a pun that doesn't really translate.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has greenish brown hair.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: Neither she nor Mana can get their student discount when trying to get into the movies, so she uses a ninja technique to make her look ''much'' younger.

[[folder:Saotome Haruna]]
[[quoteright:289:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_4691.JPG]]

Haruna is the final member of the Library Exploration Club to join Ala Alba after getting involved during Mahorafest, where she JumpedAtTheCall, much to Negi's terror. Unlike the other club members, Haruna seems motivated almost entirely by self amusement and plays tricks on Yue and Nodoka for laughs even while attempting to help them get closer to Negi. Thus, she has little personal involvement in anything Ala Alba does, but she views it as a good way to have fun.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SawaIshige (Japanese) and Creator/JamieMarchi (English)
----
* CaptainObvious: When attacked by Shirabe, she helpfully points out the obvious fact that her violin blows stuff up and that she works for Fate. Lampshaded both times.
* DatePeepers: During Nodoka and Negi's date at the festival, she kept following them around trying to push them into a more "interesting" direction. Why? [[ItAmusedMe Because it's fun!]]
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Her Suka form in ''Negima!?''.
* GenreSavvy: She has a pretty good idea of how a shounen manga is supposed to work due to her obvious otaku status.
* HairAntennae: She has hair antennae that seem to function as ''actual'' antennae, including the ability to home in on feelings of love.
* InSeriesNickname: "Paru". Doubles as a LuckyTranslation in French, as "paru" can mean "published". Since she's a mangaka…
* ItAmusedMe: She has a tendency to act like a jerk and embarrass people for shits and giggles.
* {{Jerkass}}: It's generally PlayedForLaughs, but Haruna is often selfish, irresponsible, impulsive, rude and thoughtless. Though she does care about Nodoka and Yue at least, her attempts to help them with their love lives seem primarily motivated by amusement. She tags along to the action because it looks fun rather than really caring and [[spoiler:phrases her refusal to withdraw the ship in terms of wanting to make a good name for herself for when she conquers the world.]]
* TheMatchmaker: Started out pushing Nodoka heavily towards Negi, and then when she realized Yue also had a crush on Negi she backed off slightly and said she'd support both. Following this, she's begun pushing as many girls at Negi as possible as well as egging Natsumi on regarding Kotaro.
* MsViceGirl: She's very greedy and selfish.
* PetTheDog: She gets a nice moment at the very climax when [[spoiler:her ship crashes in Mahora and she's extremely happy to see Madoka and gives her a huge hug.]]
* RapunzelHair: The length seems somewhat inconsistent. Sometimes it's to slightly above her waist and sometimes it trails a few inches below.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Whenever an idea pops into her head, her glasses reveal her true nature.
* SecretChaser: She is rather fixated on finding out who, if anyone, Negi likes. Creepily, actually.
* SequentialArtist: [[MagicalGirl Mahou Shojo]] [[ShowWithinAShow Biblion]] {{doujin}}s.
* ShipperOnDeck: Begins with Negi/Nodoka, though she stops pushing the two together when she becomes aware of Yue's crush and opts to support both. Later, she becomes a Konoka/Setsuna ''and'' Kotaro/Natsumi fan.
* TokenEvilTeammate: She seems completely uninterested in the actual goals of the group or helping people. She's also quite fond of making people look stupid and her long term goals include taking over the Magic World. She's friends with Yue and Nodoka, which is basically the whole reason she's in the group: They failed to keep the secret from her and she forced her way in.
* YaoiFangirl: She dragged Negi to the ''[[{{Doujinshi}} Comiket]]'' and showed him yaoi doujins of what appears to be ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei.''

[[folder:Asakura Kazumi]]
[[quoteright:292:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_3548.JPG]]

Asakura is the local SchoolNewspaperNewshound and an aspiring IntrepidReporter. She discovered Negi's secret early on and loosely followed the events [[WildCard with no real affiliation]] apart from pursuit of interesting stories until integrating more fully into the group around the end of Mahorafest. She is Sayo's best friend and the two formed a partnership of sorts due to Sayo being almost completely undetectable, making her a great spy.

She tagged along to the Magic World without having formed a pactio with Negi.

->'''Voiced by:''' Ayana Sasagawa (Japanese) and Creator/MonicaRial (English)
----
* AnimeHair: Uhm, nice pineappe-shaped cut.
* BigBreastPride: She's pretty proud of her bust and is offended when Negi notices that developed as she is she's still no Shizuna.
* CameraFiend: Her class panics when being attacked by a ghost? She pulls out her camera immediately.
* CombatCommentator: She plays the referee during Mahorafest, though most of the more detailed. commentary is done by someone else.
* {{Expy}}: To [[Manga/LoveHina Kitsune Konno]], with the nosy, busybody traits turned UpToEleven.
* TheGadfly: Shows signs of this when she starts to boast about her supposed FirstKiss with Negi.
* HotScoop: Always out for the latest scoop and never short of bare skin to show.
* IntrepidReporter: Her interest in revealing Negi as a mage is what kicks off her involvement in the plot.
* PetTheDog: Often rather amoral, but there are lines she won't cross, even for a big scoop. In the manga, she immediately switches to Negi's side when she learns her current actions are going to get him turned into an ermine while in the anime she refuses to post a story about Sayo because the pictures she took were of a miserable crying girl
* SchoolNewspaperNewshound: She dreams of the big scoop that will really make a mark and her investigative abilities appear to be top notch.
* UnfazedEveryman: Asakura seems to occupy a special niche somewhere between Chisame and Haruna. On the one hand, you have Chisame who absolutely freaks about magic while on the other hand you have Haruna who is jumping for joy when she hears about it. Asakura? She feels like she could probably write a good story about it or something, but isn't really that interested in getting too involved and never begins learning magic like the likes of Yue or even Makie.
* WildCard: Her pursuit of the truth and rather carefree moral compass can result in her switching sides easily, though she definitely has everyone's best interests at heart.

[[folder:Aisaka Sayo]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_8249.JPG]]

Sayo is class 3A's resident ghost and a little too [[CuteGhostGirl cute]] and inept to be considered scary, despite her occasional efforts. Apart from being impossibly clumsy, she's also extremely difficult to detect. Upon being slightly noticed by Negi during a class vote, she attempted to make her presence known and after some mishaps more characters were able to see her fully and she became Asakura's best friend and assistant. She eventually gains a small doll that she can possess and joins Ala Alba as their [[StealthPun ghost member.]] She appears to have a bit of a crush on Negi, but this was never developed since post introduction they only spoke once or twice.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuriShiratori (Japanese) and Kate Bristol (English)
----
* CuteClumsyGirl: Tripping on flat pavement when you don't even have feet? That's pretty bad. Carries over to the little doll effigy as well.
* CuteGhostGirl: She's too incompetent to be scary, though she tries. Most of the class thinks she's too cute.
* FogFeet: Since she's a scary ghost, she gets scary ghost feet. And manages to trip over said nonexistent feet.
* FriendlyGhost: She's a ghost, but she's too nice and cute to be scary, and the only thing she wants is a friend.
* FunSize: She gets a tiny, cutesy doll body to inhabit right before going to the Magic World.
* GhostAmnesia: She remembers very little of her life, her death or any goals she might have that might be the reason she's hanging around. The first anime gave one version of her death, though.
* GhostLights: She tends to have little floaty lights around whenever she's being particularly ghostly.
* GhostlyChill: Nobody takes her seat because it's always so cold.
* HeadPet: When she's possessing a small doll, she sometimes sits on people's heads, usually Asakura's.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Having been friendless and lonely for around 60 years, Sayo is very desperate for a friend. Unfortunately, her attempts of making friends are horribly misunderstood at first.
* JacobMarleyApparel: Wears a SailorFuku, probably the school uniform when she died back in 1940.
* {{Joshikousei}}: She [[JacobMarleyApparel wears an obsolete uniform]].
* LockedIntoStrangeness: When she was alive, she had black hair. As a ghost, it reversed to white.
* MissingMom: In the anime, it's shown that her mom died in war sixty years ago.
* MobileSuitHuman: She gets around in a tiny, vaguely humanoid doll which apparently makes her act energetic and ditzy. [[spoiler:Haruna creates a robot body for her with her artifact. Her doll body drives it from inside.]]
* MysticalWhiteHair: It indicates that she's not human.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: She just wants to make friends, but all her attempts to communicate with people are interpreted all wrong.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: She has been tied to her seat for more than sixty years due to reasons still undisclosed, can't leave the school grounds until Asakura got a special doll for her to possess and is absolutely terrible at being a ghost.
* RapunzelHair: She has waist length hair.
* ReluctantMonster: She occasionally makes halfhearted attempts to scare people, but it's obvious she'd much rather be making friends. Reminders that she's a ghost tend to be depressing.
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: She is mistaken for one after Asakura takes a [[SpookyPhotographs Scary Photograph]] of her. It gets to the point that they even call in two professional exorcists to take care of the problem before they finally figure out that she doesn't want to hurt anyone.
* SuperDeformed: She spends some time with Chachamaru and Negi in a chibi doll of herself.
* VerbalTic: Says ''desuuu'' in a spooky ghost voice. [[DontExplainTheJoke Because she's a spooky ghost]].
* VisibleInvisibility: For 19 episodes of ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'', she's invisible to everyone but the audience.

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00228869_4173.jpg]]

Chamo is a crafty, lecherous, [[TalkingAnimal talking ermine]] and something between a familiar and a mentor to Negi. He provides comic relief, devises battle plans, forms the pactio circles and enjoys teasing the girls about their feelings for Negi, which he is apparently able to uncover via some form of weird magic. Despite mages being turned into ermines for breaking the masquerade, there is no indication that Chamo is such a case. Rather, he appears to be some sort of fairy.

->'''Voiced by:''' Masashi Yabe (Japanese) and Chris Cason (English)
----
* ButtMonkey: Whenever he says something perverse, he gets beaten up. In the first anime series, he also gets smacked in the face with a flashlight that was still on, leaving a red mark over his face for the rest of the episode.
* DatePeepers: He has great interest in following everyone around on their possible dates and making lewd comments on them.
* DirtyOldMan: Being a short-lived ermine, Chamo is an old man despite being ''younger'' than Negi. Both he and author's notes refer to him as a dirty old man several times.
* {{Familiar}}: He moves into the story attempting to get Negi to accept him as an official familiar in order to evade responsibility for some crimes he committed involving underwear theft. Negi, being quite gullible, swallows his sob story whole.
* FunnyAnimal: An ermine who talks, smokes and is perverted.
* HeadPet: He often hangs out on people's shoulders and even sits on Sayo's head once, who acts like a HeadPet herself.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure, he's a DirtyOldMan in ermine form, and constantly tries to manipulate people for his own gain... but he never puts his own goals above the safety of the rest of group, tries to make sure everybody else benefits along with him, and generally tries to make himself as useful as possible, even when an ermine generally wouldn't be able to do anything.
* LovableSexManiac: He sneaks into a swimming pool with the 3-A girls and pulling their bathing suits off and steals underwear. The former is actually his debut.
* TheMatchmaker: ''Loves'' to tell Negi to make more and more Pactios with the girls because he scores a bunch of money every time he does.
* MeaningfulName: かもがねぎをしょってくる (''kamo'' ga ''negi'' o shotte kuru), which literally translates into "a duck comes bearing green onions", an idiom referring to something being too good to be true.
* MentorMascot: While he's usually just Negi's perverted {{familiar}}, he does a bit of mentoring about a particular aspect of the local magic system, but mostly so he can collect a hefty paycheck from somewhere or other every time Negi gets a partner.
* TheNicknamer: Chamo has a nickname for ''everyone''. It's rare for him to call people by their actual names. It's much more common for him to give them names like Yuecchi or use terms like aniki, anego and nee san.
* NonHumanSidekick: Small, white ermine that looks to Negi as his big brother and helps him form pactios.
* OlderSidekick: Unclear. He acts like a DirtyOldMan, but as an ermine it's unlikely that he's as old as Negi. On the other hand, he's an ermine ''fairy.''
* PantyThief: So much that [[spoiler:his share of the Rainyday twins' LotusEaterMachine]] has him pretty much ''swimming'' in underwear.
* PunnyName: Chamo's name combined with Negi's refers to a Japanese legend about a duck carrying a leek that offers itself as a meal to lost and starving travelers, which has come to mean something too good to be true (you've got dinner with it's own seasoning), or to con-men, a sucker.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: He's quite eager to get Negi as much tail as possible. He also likes to comment on all the FetishFuel and {{Fanservice}} that tends to go on around them.
* WeaselMascot: With DirtyOldMan tendencies to boot!

[[folder:Anna "Anya" Yurievna Cocolova]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anya.jpg]]

Anya is Negi's childhood friend and a fellow graduate from [[WizardingSchool Merdiana Magic Academy]]. Since she's known Negi longer than any of his students, he doesn't use {{Keigo}} when speaking to her. She's [[FieryRedhead extremely emotional]], [[{{Tsundere}} especially when it comes to Negi]] and is convinced that he is being led astray by all the pretty girls and their boobs. Though she shows up after Mahorafest intending to show him how much she has improved, she's stunned to see that he's way, way out of her league at this point. Further annoying her is the number of pactios he has at this point, which pisses her off until he manages to calm her down and invite her to the group officially.

She specializes in fire magic, of course, though her performance is less than stellar considering that the first time she tries to attack Negi she also sets her own clothing and hair on fire.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyoHirohashi (Japanese, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!''), Creator/ChiwaSaito (Japanese, ''Negima?!'' onwards), Kate Bristol (English, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'') and Creator/BrittneyKarbowski (English, ''Negima!?'')
----
* ACupAngst: Seems particularly obsessed with her breast size relative to the older girls of the Ala Alba. At one point she states outright "those with big breasts are my enemies, those with small breasts are my allies". No wonder she made quick friends with Yue and Nodoka.
* AgeAppropriateAngst: Unlike the rest of the cast, she just has some body image issues that she'll grow out of and worrys that the boy she totally doesn't like or anything doesn't pay enough attention to her.
* AscendedExtra: Anya has a ''much'' bigger role in ''Negima!?'', and an even bigger one in the ''Negima!? Neo'' manga partially based on the former, where she becomes ''the'' 32nd member of Class 3-A come Chapter 15, and is all set up to take ninja lessons from Kaede and actually become useful in combat. [[ThrowTheDogABone Akamatsu must've felt bad for her.]]
* BrattyHalfPint: She comes across as violent, bossy and very bratty.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She doesn't like seeing Negi with other girls.
* ElementalHair: She uses fire magic and her hair is red.
* FieryRedhead: She's hot headed and what little offensive magic she does know is all fire based.
* FortuneTeller: Her assignment in London as a final mage test, akin to Negi's assignment as a teacher in Japan.
* GirlishPigtails: As part of her stereotypical {{Tsundere}} appearance.
* PlayingWithFire: She specializes in fire magic.
* RapunzelHair: Down to her waist.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Her standard attire before the Magical World trip.
* ShanaClone: She is a small {{Tsundere}} with RapunzelHair and a literal FieryRedhead to boot.
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: She's tiny, bossy and prone to comedic violence.
* TransliterationTrouble: Her surname. Until we got an official spelling, nobody knew how to spell it correctly.
* {{Tsundere}}: She's a definite aggressive 'hit first, ask questions ''never'' unless you have to' type.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade S, combined with a {{Meido}} outfit to complement her [[GirlishPigtails pigtails]] and [[{{Tsundere}} attitude]].

[[folder:Negi Springfield]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_5565.JPG]]

Negi is our [[KidHero ten year old]] protagonist, a [[TeenGenius precocious]] [[{{Scotireland}} Welsh]] mage assigned to be the [[WackyHomeroom homeroom teacher]] of an all-female Japanese middle school class as his on-the-job magic training. Just in case your WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief isn't sobbing and cutting itself in a dark corner of your mind yet, he also develops into a pretty {{Badass}} {{Shonen}} protagonist, as well as the object of [[UnwantedHarem several of his students' crushes]].

Negi's principal goal is to find his father Nagi, a legendary mage and hero of a recent magical war, [[DisappearedDad presumed to be dead for a decade or so]]. With good reason, the boy thinks otherwise and devotes a lot of his energy, with the help of his friends, toward unveiling the secrets of his disappearance. Sadly, but predictably, the Ala Alba is often sidetracked by one or more of the {{Muggle}} students being endangered by the various hazards of the magic underworld.

As a fighter, Negi specializes in wind, light and lightning spells, later supplementing his magic with martial arts when the weaknesses of a pure wizard become apparent.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RinaSato (Japanese), Creator/GregAyres (English)
----
* AbnormalAmmo: During the fight with Evangeline Negi uses [[DepletedPhlebotinumShells Magic rounds]].
* AccidentalPervert: Tends to stumble in on girls naked or magically make them naked on accident.
* AchillesHeel: [[spoiler:His lightning techniques that turn him intangible are vulnerable to exorcism techniques like the Shinmeiryu arts. Can't block those with deflector shields either. However, further mastery of this ability makes damage taken in this manner less serious.]]
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: He struggles hard to being formal and mature, which makes his students find him adorable.
* {{Adorkable}}: He can be so adorably awkward.
* AesopAmnesia: Despite more than once getting his butt kicked after going into a fight alone, just to be saved by reinforcements, Negi just can't seem to get the idea of teamwork. This becomes a plot point later.
* AllLovingHero: Negi has to be the single sweetest, kindest and most ''forgiving'' ShonenGenre hero since [[DragonBall Son Goku]]. Until someone touches his {{Berserk Button}}s.
* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Mile Vincula, his Pactio artifact from Theodora, is a notebook that lets him summon and use the artifacts of his Ministra Magi, such as Asuna's [[AntiMagic Ensis Exorcizans]]. The bigger his harem, the more powerful it becomes, which means [[StoryBreakerPower he doesn't get to keep it past its debut fight.]]]]
* AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp: During an early arc, he sacrifices his magic to keep himself from the temptation to cheat. He promptly enters a situation where just his basic physical reinforcement would have been quite helpful.
* AnimeAccentAbsence: Despite being from Wales and teaching English, he still has no accent.
* ApologizesALot: Whenever he says "sorry", [[DrinkingGame take a swig]].
* AttractiveBentGender: Forced to wear a miniskirt-style fox-girl kimono during the Mahora Festival. And again, due to Chamo's suggestion, wears a SailorFuku when asking for a favor from Ayaka. [[{{Shotacon}} Ayaka]] nearly died from a massive {{nosebleed}} in both occasions.
* {{Badass}}: Whether he be taking on ageless vampire witches, or participating in the {{Dragonball}}-like fight scenes later on, undoubtedly so.
** BadassAdorable: He looks completely non threatening, but even as early as the Mahorafest tournament he could throw around adult men about ten times his size.
** BadassBookworm: After his fight with Jack, both he and Evangeline observe that Negi's primary strength isn't raw power, but his skill at developing new forms of magical theory and application. At one point, Jack states that his degree of genius is such that the magic he has developed at age ten is superior to that of those who've been studying the same thing for decades, even centuries.
** BadassTeacher: During much of the manga one of the quickest ways to get into conflict with Negi is to attack his students rather than him directly.
** BroughtDownToBadass: After having his magic sealed temporarily by Yuuna in a class event based around the idea of getting Negi to make relationship progress, he's challenged to a duel by Ku Fei [[spoiler:after she confesses]]. With no chance to explain, he instead is forced to rely on sheer physical prowess and manages to throw her. It wouldn't have been enough to win, but it shows amazing reflexes even without supernatural power.
** TookALevelInBadass: The most obvious levels taken in badass were post Kyoto arc when he got some good teachers and later when picking up Magia Erebea.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Negi is definitely a NiceGuy, but Magia Erebea isn't exactly powered by rainbows and sunshine.
* BalloonBelly: In chapter 56, Makie prepared food for him knowing he was training for Evangeline's Apprenticeship Test and overdid it. Then she brought out the "secret" diet technique of the gymnastics club, which went too far the other way.
* BattleAura: The first sign that Negi is actually angry. Being a wind mage, it also appears when he uses his more powerful spells. And then there's [[spoiler:Magia Erebea Demon Form]].
* BerserkButton
** Messing with his students lets him [[NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow pull a rock spear out of his chest and try to beat someone to death with it]].
** Later, Jack discovers that a good way to get Negi to give it his all is to act condescending towards the effort he puts in.
** [[spoiler:And whatever you do, don't call Chachamaru a doll. Just don't.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's normally very gentle, but he's both the most flexible and most powerful character in the group despite his young age.
* {{Bishonen}}: His teenage form, "Nagi", is ridiculously pretty and makes girls very uncomfortable.
* BishonenLine: Upon using Magia Erebea he looked less and less human for many reasons, most notably [[spoiler:its encroachment]]. Eventually he began [[spoiler:mutating into a rampaging demon. However, while powerful, this form is not clever enough to fully utilize its strength. After mastering Magia Erebea by integrating it into his soul, he becomes nonhuman but retains the power and rationality of one.]]
* BondingOverMissingParents: Negi and Asuna smooth out some initial conflict by bonding over their mutual parentlessness.
* BoringYetPractical: Before he gains [[DeadlyUpgrade Magia Erebea]], Negi's magic style revolves primarily around Sagitta Magica, a very weak and basic attack magic. However, after months of experimenting and developing ways to use it, by the time of [[spoiler:his final battle with Fate]], Negi has built it up to the point where it's the equivalent of a full-scale war spell.
* BornWinner: He's the son of the WorldsStrongestMan [[spoiler:and the heir of an ancient magical bloodline]], taught from a young age by an immortal dark sorceress and later another legendary hero. He's also intelligent, can plan quickly, has excellent looks and a diligent nature to keep his talents from going to waste.
* BrokenHero: Negi is an extremely kind and helpful little boy, but besides ParentalAbandonment he has a traumatic DarkAndTroubledPast where demons invaded his village and [[TakenForGranite turned everyone to stone]]. Everyone was horrified to see his memories of said event, which worked exactly opposite to how it was supposed to.
* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: [[DoomedHometown His village is attacked]] because [[spoiler:[[SinsOfOurFathers his mother's enemies find where he is and tried to kill him]]]].
* CantHoldHisLiquor: One sit of alcohol reduces him to a weepy drunk.
* ChasteHero: Oblivious to girls' feelings because he hasn't even hit puberty and doesn't think of girls like that yet.
* CheerfulChild: Subverted. He's quite sunny and pleasant in early appearances, but it's just a surface attitude that covers up an obsessive attitude and a lot of negative emotions.
* ChildProdigy: Graduated from university-level education at age nine while primarily attending a magic school.
* ClearMyName: At the beginning of the Magic World arc he was framed [[spoiler:for destroying the gate ports to the real world.]] This isn't addressed much for more than fifty chapters.
* CluelessChickMagnet: He's ridiculously popular with girls and never really seems to pick up on that. It's suggested once or twice, mostly by Chisame, that they really ought to kill him while he's young before he grows up and breaks everyone's hearts.
* TheCollectorOfTheStrange: Though it isn't brought up too much, he has a bunch of weird stuff, both magical and mundane. This is where he got the magic gun he used a couple of times early on, for example.
* CrazyPrepared: His fight against Rakan has him pulling out five different trump cards, many of which were merely to guide the flow of battle or stall.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: When Negi was four years old, a horde of demons appeared and attacked his village. Just as a demon was about to attack Negi, his father Nagi appeared just in time to save Negi from receiving a fatal punch from the demon. With a few strikes and a powerful spell, he destroyed all of the demons but the village was already in ruins and most of the villagers had been already [[TakenForGranite petrified]].
* DeathGlare: After gaining Magia Erebea he started to get some nasty, overpowering glares, likely complemented by his terrifying power.
* DeclarationOfProtection: He declares that [[spoiler:even though she's not Asuna]] Shiori is important to him and that he'll protect her.
* {{Determinator}}: When Negi puts a goal in his mind, there is basically nothing that can stop him.
* DistressedDude: When the group was [[spoiler:sent to the future]] by Chao's trap, Negi was briefly captured and locked away without any of his tools, thus rendering him unable to actually use his magic. Interestingly, he apparently somehow managed to use magic despite having no staff or ring, which allowed him to escape and meet up with the group that had just arrived to rescue him.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Negi goes berserk when Rakan sneers at the training he went through for his tournament fight.
* DopplegangerAttack: [[spoiler:His strategy to beat Kurt involves swarming him with waves of lightning clones so the latter has no idea which to attack, relying on his reserves of magical energy to overwhelm Kurt. Thus, while they do have some ability to do damage, it mostly functions as a DopplegangerSpin.]]
* DrowningMySorrows: The kid CantHoldHisLiquor; he accidentally takes one sip of sake and crashes.
* ElementalShapeshifter: With Magea Erebea, he can absorb spells to grant himself properties of the element in question. Incendium Gehennae, for example, grants him intense offensive power while Tempestus Fulguriens makes him incredibly quick. [[spoiler:The Thousand Bolts makes him as fast as lightning while applying it twice basically makes him lightning for real, granting intangibility and thinking fast enough to keep up with his speed.]]
* FamilyThemeNaming: Negi, son of Nagi.
* FirstKiss: With Asuna in Chapter 25. Asuna pretends that since it was a pactio it doesn't count, but she's obviously not even fooling herself.
* FragileSpeedster: The lightning based Magia Erebea techniques drastically increase Negi's speed, but lowers his defense. [[spoiler:Later compensated for by turning intangible.]]
* GenerationXerox: Played with. Negi is reserved, intelligent, and studious, the complete opposite of his [[IdiotHero his father]]. But as the manga progresses his fighting style and relationships with his friends are becoming more and more like that between Nagi and his Ala Rubra. Personality wise [[spoiler:he resembles his mother Arika quite strongly, although he's much more upbeat.]]
* TheGift: Negi is often called 'Prodigy' or 'a Genius' thanks to his ludicrous growth, amazing smarts and innate ability to master many fighting styles. Neither brash nor overconfident, he's instead insecure, self-sacrificing, somewhat power-hungry with a noted inferiority complex.
* GlassCannon: Early in the series he had good offense, but was slow and easily interrupted.
* TheGlassesComeOff: Later on in the story, Negi's glasses break/were never on in the first place/simply vanish whenever he becomes particularly violent.
* GuileHero: Negi's no slouch physically, but what really makes him dangerous as a fighter is his planning ability. Other characters say that he'd probably be a [[TheSmartGuy supporting character]] in a different series.
* HandBehindHead[=/=]ShyFingerTwiddling: Often seen doing one (or both) of these whenever he's nervous. Particularly when he has to say something he doesn't want to, like "confessing".
* HatesBaths: He doesn't like taking baths. He gets it from his father.
* HealingFactor: Magia Erebea starts granting him one the more he synchronizes with it. [[spoiler:When he eventually combines with it entirely, he's capable of healing off disembowelment and holes being blown through his torso in mere seconds.]]
* HereditaryHairstyle: He inherited his father's spiky red hair.
* HeroesFightBarehanded: Negi slowly phases out his weapons after he gets a ring to serve the same purpose as his staff.
* HeroicResolve: Capable of taking a massive spear to the chest and continuing on via willpower alone, though only briefly. Played straight during the tournament final.
* HeroicRROD: After pushing himself too hard with Magia Erebea, [[spoiler:the encroachment finally becomes too much and eventually causes him to collapse and give him magical poisoning.]] After this is temporarily dealt with, [[spoiler:his body petrifies itself to begin a metamorphosis process]] right in the middle of battle.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He is insecure and has a noted inferiority complex.
* HonorBeforeReason: He really would win his battles a ''lot'' quicker if he didn't pull his punches against even the most black-hearted villains so much.
* HotBlooded: He starts out averting it, but eventually grows to enjoy fighting.
* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: Beaten so hard during [[spoiler:his graduation match with Rakan]] that he begins ''puking'' blood.
* IAmYourOpponent: During the gateport incident, he attempts this one, but he's taken too much damage by that point.
* IdiotHair: Negi has one, but it's only when to comes to matters of the female heart and how to be a child. Otherwise he's a genius.
* IdiotHero: Averted, he's intelligent and thoughtful. Aversion lampshaded, it becomes obvious that he thinks ''too'' much about things. Invoked, he tries to find out a way to act with more thoughtless confidence. Averted again. [[spoiler:Which turns out to be a good thing: Idiot heroes have their strengths, but solutions more complicated than 'Punch bad guy in the face' tend to be beyond them.]]
* {{Immortality}}: One of the consequences of Magia Erebea is speculated to be that he'll become a mindless, immortal demon, though he tries to work out countermeasures. [[spoiler:The mindless demon phase is temporary, so he gets through this stage by accelerating it as quickly as possible. After completing the transformation, he has a powerful healing factor and at best only a few more years of aging before maturation ceases.]]
* ImprobableAge: He's ten years old and capable of teaching English while also being a magical prodigy that ends the series as one of the most powerful beings in existence.
* InASingleBound: Using wind magic with FlashStep, Negi can jump across the street and on top of buildings.
* IneptMage: Early on, before the series started taking a more serious turn.
* InnocentProdigy: He is very intelligent, but naive likewise.
* InstantExpert: Due to possessing TheGift, Negi learns things like martial arts and magic techniques far too fast, something that's sometimes commented on.
* ItsAllMyFault: He blamed himself for the destruction of his hometown when he was younger because he wanted to see his father. When his father did show up, it was during a massive demonic attack. [[spoiler:It is his fault indirectly after all, though, because it was an assassination attempt on him.]]
* {{Keigo}}: Negi converses with this to mostly anyone he doesn't consider as really close friends or family. When this is pointed out, the girls with crushes on him become worried that there is an emotional wall between them and Negi.
* KidHero: He's a ten year old hero, though he's less immature than the trope usually calls for.
* KungFuKid: With the tutelage of Ku Fei he becames an accomplished martial artist almost overnight. As shown late in the story, even without using any magic at all he's able to land an effective counter on super powered opponents.
* KungFuWizard: When it became clear his SquishyWizard ways weren't good enough, he picked up martial arts from Ku Fei and started blending magic and martial arts together.
* LightningBruiser: At the end of the story, he's the fastest known character with good but not amazing attacks and the best or second best defenses.
* LimitedWardrobe: Negi wears the same green suit for much of the story, but during the Magic World and school festival he shows a lot more outfits.
* LivingWithTheVillain: He's had to fight at least three of his own students. Has occasionally gone GoKartingWithBowser.
* LoveYouAndEverybody: Akira gives him a LoveConfession on behalf of Ako and Makie and he responds that he likes them too, causing her to go back and have to explain it again. He also pulls this off earlier on with Asuna twice.
* MarkedChange: Magia Erebea causes black runelike tattoos to appear beneath his skin when used.
* MartyrWithoutACause: He always throws himself into the most dangerous situations and rarely factors in personal harm when coming to decisions, which makes people uneasy more than impressing them.
* MeaningfulName: "Negi" means "spring onion" in Japanese, which is a reference to how the leek is the national symbol of Wales. Negi-''Bozu'' is slang for newbie.
* MightyGlacier: His ''Incendium Gehennae'' mode, as opposed to the LightningBruiser ''Jovis Tempestus Fulguriens'', grants amazing offense and improved defense, but leaves him quite slow. He never really makes use of this form.
* MinoredInAssKicking: He prefers TheSmartGuy approach and diplomacy, but in a fight his performance is exceptional.
* MulticoloredHair: He has red hair on the top and black hair in the back.
* NiceGuy: He is very kind and friendly, though rather serious.
* NighInvulnerable: [[spoiler:In his lightning form, he's the MadeOfAir variant: Almost all attacks just pass right through him.]]
* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: Rock spear to the chest. It ''would'' have been fatal were [[TheMedic Konoka]] not around.
* ObliviousToLove: The only way he ever learns if a girl has feelings for him is if she straight-out tells him.
* OlderAlterEgo: "Nagi", his teenaged form that he takes after taking a series of age-disguising pills. [[SexierAlterEgo Everyone finds him ridiculously hot]] though a few girls decide he's simply out of their league and go for Kotaro instead, who is ''only'' very attractive.
* OperaGloves: Negi's outfit designed to hide [[spoiler: his Magia Erebea tattoos]] includes these.
* OutOfClothesExperience: Negi gets to meet [[spoiler:his berserk form]] in person this way. He is guided by Evangeline's avatar, who is also naked. Not that she ever cares.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: ''The Thousand Bolts'', a spell he learns when first on the borderline of the monster tier with Rakan or Eva, is an anti army ability and the ultimate lightning spell. [[spoiler:In theory, since Negi comes up with a few lightning spear techniques.]]
* PostKissCatatonia: After his [[spoiler:second]] kiss with [[spoiler:Nodoka]]. Also, [[spoiler:Ayaka]]'s pactio leaves him twitching on the floor.
* PowerCopying: [[spoiler:Mile Vincula, his artifact with Theodora, gives him the power to copy the artifact of anyone he has a Pactio with, and his arsenal would improve with each new Pactio. It's canceled after the fight with Rakan for apparently political reasons. The obvious reason, though, is simply because [[StoryBreakerPower Asuna's sword alone is far too powerful, let alone all the others.]]]]
* PowerDyesYourHair: His hair turns white when using [[spoiler:Raiten Taisou]].
* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: When using [[spoiler:Raiten Taisou]], his hair becomes as long as he is tall.
* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: When Negi fights Rakan, he brings out his new ultimate move, [[spoiler:turns into lightning and pinballs Rakan around for an entire chapter]], at which point Rakan falls down. The next chapter starts with Rakan getting up, unharmed, and beating the crap out of Negi.
* PurelyAestheticGlasses: Negi values his minuscule pince-nez glasses as they are a [[ItWasAGift present]] from Nekane, but they do not seem to serve any purpose regarding his eyesight or anything else beyond [[NerdGlasses marking him as bookish]].
* RagsToRoyalty: Ostensibly a normal kid from a backwater village in Wales who just happens to have a famous father. [[spoiler:His mother, however, is from an ancient royal bloodline and [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse possibly]] deceased. However, his mother is the enemy of an organization that controlled the senate and was vilified for it, so his parentage was hidden and he was hidden away.]]
* RedBaron: Eva remarked that he is called 'Boy Genius Mage' and later he's referred to as 'Thunder God Negi.'
* RedHeadedHero: His hair is red and he's a hero.
* RelativelyFlimsyExcuse: When Negi uses some magic pills to age himself into a teenager, he identifies himself as his own cousin.
* ReplacementGoldfish: It's implied that Ayaka sees the little brother she never had in Negi.
* RightManInTheWrongPlace: Negi starts off as just a fresh magic school graduate assigned to teach English at another magic school (sort of) halfway across the world. However, just because he doesn't know he was sent doesn't mean he wasn't: Merdiana's choice of assignment and the dorm he ends up in are just a little too convenient to be coincidence.
* RubberFace: Asuna stretches his mouth when she thinks he's been withholding information.
* ScarsAreForever: During the Mahorafest tournament he gets a scar on his cheek from Setsuna and another during the finals. He ''could'' get them fixed, but he has an emotional attachment to both. [[spoiler:They both disappear after his Magea Erebea transformation completes.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: At the very least, he likes teasing Setsuna about Konoka.
-->'''Setsuna:''' In any case, I already have Konoka ojou-sama as...
-->'''Negi:''' Ah... [[SayItWithHearts So it really is that...]]
-->''(Beat)''
-->'''Setsuna:''' N-NO! That's not, um... That's not what I meant!
-->'''Negi:''' Ahahahahaha! Setsuna-san, so it really is Konoka-san!
* ShirtlessScene: More than once. Most prominently when he's put in the hospital.
* TheShortGuyWithGlasses: The youngest and shortest of the main cast, but also one of the smartest.
* ShowerOfAwkward: With Setsuna in Kyoto. He also caused an awkward shower situation when he attempted to do Asuna a favor by enchanting her brushes. She wasn't appreciative. And there was also the time he spotted Chachamaru bathing in a river, but she didn't mind.
* ShutUpHannibal: Negi reveals to Godel that he is well aware of his plan and the truth behind the Magical World.
* SinsOfOurFathers
** Evangeline was not happy to see the son of the man who sealed in Mahora. Justified by the fact that she also wants Negi for his blood, as it mitigates his dad's curse.
** There's the supported theory that [[spoiler:the Megalomesembrian Senate were responsible for launching the attack on Negi's village solely to kill Negi, because he is the son of their old foe Arika Entheofushia ''and'' Nagi Springfield.]]
* SkilledButNaive: A highly talented mage who at 10 years old has the sort of power and skill that most don't get even after decades of study and training, but he's still a ten year old and he thinks like one.
* SkySurfing: Courtesy of his staff.
* SlipknotPonytail: Negi's ponytail has a habit of coming undone during significantly violent battles later in the story. Together with the [[TheGlassesComeOff removal of his glasses]], this serves to give him a much rougher look.
* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: In the dub.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Smartest character in the story barring maybe Chao and he wears glasses despite likely not even needing them.
* StepfordSmiler: While he's a genuinely NiceGuy, it is revealed that [[spoiler:his berserker fury at Godel]] wasn't something that come out of nowhere.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks almost identical to his father Nagi, especially when he magically ages himself up.
* SuperIntelligence: Negi's great strength later in the manga lies in his ability to rapidly learn and create new techniques and strategies. It's remarked that governments would love to sit him behind a desk to just work on magical theory all day.
* SuperMode: The base form of Magia Erebea gives him a 50% power boost before he even starts using the actual Magia Erebea abilities.
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: Magea Erebea has an effect on his emotions because it's fueled by them. [[spoiler:When the encroachment goes out of control, he turns into a berserking monster with some rather heavy mutations. Surprisingly, this is never really used in combat after he's interrupted during its first real occurrence.]]
* SurvivorGuilt: Being one of the only two survivors of his DoomedHometown, Negi has lots of it.
* SweetheartSipping: During a shopping trip with Konoka. It gets misunderstood by the DatePeepers to hilarious ends.
* SwissArmyHero: It's noted early that by changing the spells he absorbs with Magia Erebea that he can give himself different strengths such as a StoneWall, FragileSpeedster or GlassCannon. However, he almost always uses the FragileSpeedster effect.
* TaremeEyes: Likely to complements his "innocent little boy" traits.
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:After Quartum bisects Chachamaru, Negi appears and delivers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.]]
* UnstoppableRage: First happens against Graf, though Kotaro manages to smack some sense into him. [[spoiler:Later occurs multiple times starting during a fight with Godel.]]
* UnwantedHarem: Does the collection of powerful girls crushing on him strike you with [[BlessedWithSuck pity]], [[CursedWithAwesome envy]], or fear for the day he hits puberty?
* VocalDissonance: When the 3rd OAD came out, his adult self is still voiced by Creator/RinaSato.
* WillfullyWeak: At one point decided that he would seal his magic and fulfill his duties as a teacher without relying on magic. [[AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp He chose a bad time for it.]]
* WiseBeyondHisYears: Despite being ten, he is very wise, though this has pointedly come at the cost of sacrificing a real childhood.
* WorthyOpponent: Kotaro thinks of Negi as being the first mage he's gone up against that wasn't a loser who couldn't take a punch.
* WouldHitAGirl: Despite being an "English gentleman", he doesn't hesitate to fight Takane. Asuna does not approve; Setsuna and Evangeline do.
* YouShallNotPass: Stays behind to stop horde of demons from catching Ala Alba. He's not in any real danger though.
* ZettaiRyouiki: When his students capture him, they make him crossdress as a foxgirl complete with long stockings.

[[folder:Kagurazaka Asuna]]
[[quoteright:291:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_485.JPG]]

Asuna is a girl Negi speaks to on the first day, informing her that her love is going to end unrequited. After this charming start, he's asked by the principal to move into her room and after a bit of initial friction ends up as his protective big sister figure [[{{Tsundere}} among hints of other kinds of affection.]] She is fairly dim, but she's also a hard worker with a strong sense of responsibility. Though intellectually weak, she's physically superhuman even more magic enters the equation, capable of running as fast as a bicycle and having both sight and hearing well above that of a normal human.

She becomes his first Ministra Magi and possesses incredibly rare antimagic abilities that confuse others due to Asuna being an apparently ordinary middle school student. Her artifact is a large metal fan with properties suited for exorcism, though as she gains more control over her abilities it gradually gets replaced by her actual artifact, a massive sword with antimagic properties. Both are known as either the ''Ensis Exorcizans'' or the ''Hama no Tsurugi'' depending on reading.

Despite being supposedly ordinary, strange dreams and abilities hint that she is far from it, leaving her something of a mystery for most of the story to the reader.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkemiKanda (Japanese) and Creator/LuciChristian (English)
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her outfit [[spoiler:during her second capture.]]
* ActionGirl: She is the first to come to Negi's aid early in the series, and also the first to get a pactio.
* AmnesiacHero: From early on, it's hinted that Asuna isn't the normal schoolgirl she believes herself to be and has a mysterious past she can't remember.
* AntiMagic: She has the ability to cancel magic, which is initially assumed to be because of her contract with Negi. Though initially unpredictable, she eventually gets control of this and can extend it as a field, punching out 100% unbreakable seals and dispelling giant falling pillars with a wave of her sword. Magic Cancel is a rare ability, which causes no end of confusion to experts who wonder why a normal person like Asuna can use it. [[spoiler:However, the true nature of this ability is actually considerably more complex and even rarer, a throwback to the found of the Ostian dynasty and creator of the Magic World who used the same ability to create it. Properly speaking, it's known as the Magic of Creation and Destruction and is extremely potent.]]
* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:Fate needs Asuna's AntiMagic abilities to erase Mundus Magicus and put its inhabitants into a LotusEaterMachine to keep them from disappearing when Mundus Magicus collapses on its own.]]
* ArmorPiercingSlap: So powerful it goes straight through Evangeline's shields, though it turns out to be due to AntiMagic.
* {{Badass}}: She grows into an excellent melee fighter with some really rare techniques
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:After meeting Fate's team, she gets surrounded and captured by one of Fate's partners, who assumes Asuna's form and joins the group pretending to be her. Asuna was held captive by Fate, with Fate successfully undoing her LaserGuidedAmnesia, to cause her to remember her past and go into a week-long HeroicBSOD.]]
* BarrierMaiden: Near the conclusion of the story, it was revealed that [[spoiler:she'll be sleeping for 100 years in the Gravekeeper's Palace, serving as the literal cornerstone for the plan to save the Magic World. Time travel hijinks make it complicated, however, since she technically doesn't go back to her own world when she wakes up and meets Chao.]]
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:To Fate's surprise, Asuna Kagurazaka is a fully fledged identity that grew from her originally EmotionlessGirl state.]]
* BigSisterInstinct: She says she sees Negi as a little brother she must protect. [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg59/Xophien/KamoRankings.jpg Chamo's charts]] say that her sisterly/motherly feelings for Negi are the strongest out of all the girls.
* BookDumb: Her grades are so terrible that she is the one with the lowest scores out of all the Baka Rangers.
* BrokenBird: When she showed up in Mahora, she was an EmotionlessGirl that annoyed Ayaka with her blank expression, so she kicked her. [[spoiler:At that point, she had a very limited time of actually being a human, instead having been treated as a living weapon for a century or more.]]
* CharacterExaggeration: Asuna goes from being a regular {{Tsundere}}, having a job and more or less just trying to survive in the craziness around her in the manga and first anime series, to being completely nuts in Negima?!
* CoolBigSis: She acts as a big sister towards Negi, though there are hints of romantic interest.
* CuteLittleFangs: To match her aggressive personality she occasionally has little fanglike teeth.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[MysteriousPast We don't really know the details]], but [[spoiler:she underwent LaserGuidedAmnesia so that she could forget all that she had been through. What we do know is that it includes being [[GirlInTheTower imprisoned in a tower]] and used as a human weapon, and the destruction of a FloatingContinent.]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: Asuna is Negi's ministra magi and thus responsible for protecting the SquishyWizard while he casts his spells. In resppnse, Negi pushes himself to become stronger so she doesn't have to protect him and put herself in danger. While competing in Mahora Fest's Tournament [[spoiler: she loudly declared to Negi that she was plenty powerful enough to protect him. Then she became profoundly embarrassed because she was fighting at that moment and the entire crowd interperted her declaration as a love confession.]]
* DiesWideOpen: In the first anime's ending, she hits her birthday and then falls from the World Tree. Negi catches her, but she only fell because she was already dead. Negi magically undoes it with the help of his class.
* DontCallMeSir: Gets very upset when Setsuna starts acting like her servant and calling her "[[spoiler:princess]]" after she learns about Asuna's origins.
* EmotionlessGirl: As a kid she had a flat expression that irritated Ayaka. In the present, she's rather excitable. And irritable.
* EpicFail: Trying to light someone's cigarette and instead setting their beard on fire. Then she tried putting it out with hot tea.
* ExpressiveHair: In ''Negima!?'' her pigtails move according to her mood.
* {{Expy}}: She's stated to embody the "protective" aspect of [[Manga/LoveHina Naru's]] personality.
* FieryRedhead: She's a fiery {{Tsundere}} with red hair.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:After she wakes up from sleeping for 130 years, Asuna finds herself alone in a strange time and place with all her friends gone. She at least hoped Negi (having a body like Evangeline's) would still be alive, but he died and after seeing all that her friends did in their lives while she was sleeping she breaks down in tears. However, Evangeline and Chao send her back in time and she reunites with her friends.]]
* FullFrontalAssault: After getting {{Clothing Damage}}d for the umpteenth time during the AggressiveNegotiations with Goedel. She's been stripped enough that she just ignores it, proves herself immune to DefeatByModesty and presses the attack. The viewers get a [[HandOrObjectUnderwear Godiva sword tassel]]. [[spoiler:Although that was actually Fake!Asuna/Shiori.]]
-->"Like I care!"
* GagBoobs: She gets them in one episode where the girls are using breast size for a contest to see who gets to share a room with Negi.
* GenericCuteness: Judging by the startled reactions of her friends at the ball and during her 'date' with Takamichi, Asuna is apparently supposed to look fairly plain most of the time.
* GirlishPigtails: Befitting her {{Tsundere}} personality. When the topic comes up, her friends note that its rather childish and that she looks better with her hair down.
* GodivaHair: Her hair reaches her waist, which really helps, since being around Negi has a tendency to suddenly leave you without clothing.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: A... bear?
* HairDecorations: She wears a pair of bells on her GirlishPigtails. They're also a MementoMacGuffin since she wears those bells because they came from Takamichi, not because she thinks they make her look cuter. And on the rare occasions that she takes them off everyone notes that she looks better without them.
* HeavySleeper: [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] in ''Anime/NegimaSecondSeason''. [[spoiler:Then the manga reveals that she slept for thirty more years to wake up to a world where the otherwise immortal Negi inexplicably died, only for Eva and Chao to return her back 130 years to a world identical to where she came from mere seconds after her departure. The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue reveals that her extended sleep was partially caused by a war on Mars in the 22nd century, of which Mana was a participant.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Chapter 284 showed the tail end of a week-long one. Fate didn't expect her to come out of it at all]].
* HomeRunHitter: Does this to Evangeline using a thrown boat as the bat in ''Negima!?''.
* HotForTeacher: Has a crush on Takahata-sensei.
* IAmWhatIAm: The most difficult mental issue she has is the [[spoiler:duality between who she was as Princess Asuna and who she is now as Asuna Kagurazaka]]. At the end of the Magic World arc, [[spoiler:she's at terms with both sides of herself, proclaiming herself a genuine magic princess as she fixes all the devastation wrought by Cosmo Entelechia.]]
* IAmWho: Asuna certainly isn't who she believes herself to be and she has a long forgotten past that is slowly hinted throughout the series. [[spoiler:She's actually a princess from the magic world who was used as a human weapon because of her AntiMagic powers.]]
* IdenticalStranger: She looks very similar to Negi's cousin Nekane.
* IdiotHair: It fits thanks to her being an IdiotHero.
* IdiotHero: It's pointed out more than once that she far more closely resembles the trope than Negi himself. Kotaro even compares her to Nagi due to her idiocy and determination.
* InelegantBlubbering: When things don't go well with Takamichi, Negi bumps into Asuna streaming tears and with snot running out of her nose. After this, she spends a few days moping in Eva's resort before getting over it.
* InstantExpert: Though she's nearly as dim as Negi is brilliant, she picks up fighting and even kanka almost as quickly as he does magic and martial arts. However, in her case it's because she already learned at least some of this stuff when she was a kid. Of course, she ''also'' performed kanka perfectly almost instantly as a child as well, though in that case it was due to [[spoiler:being 'empty' from having no life experience, social interaction or anything for over a hundred years while being used as some type of weapon.]]
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World has cat ears and a tail.
* KickChick: Negi even notes in his class rooster how she has a very powerful kick.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: She doesn't have any memories from before ten years ago [[spoiler:after Takamichi had her memory sealed on behalf of the dying Gateau Vanderburg.]]
* LethalChef: Briefly, in the anime; looked like an AlienLunch. ''Negima!?'' also gave us a glimpse of her cooking. She burned down the kitchen.
* LightningGlare: Frequently to Negi after he manages to upset her yet again.
* LikesOlderWomen: {{Gender Flip}}ped. She has a preference for older guys. Ayaka calls her an "Ojicon" because of it.
* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:She's part of the Ostian bloodline just like Negi and his mother, though where she fits on the family tree is rather unclear.]]
* MarilynManeuver: Does this once during the ''Pactio'' spell, [[PantyShot since there's wind blowing up]].
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: Right eye green, left eye blue. It's difficult to notice unless she's looking straight at the camera. She's definitely not normal either.
* {{Meido}}: During the TournamentArc, Asuna and Setsuna get pressganged into wearing maid outfits to appeal to the crowd.
* ModestyShorts: After GoingCommando in a skirt in Kyoto, this is a big issue for her.
* MysteriousPast: Especially when when she turns out to be [[OlderThanTheyLook far older than she looks]].
* MysticalWaif: She shows the canonical catatonic personality in flashbacks.
* NoSell: Her Magic Cancel stops ''any'' magic.
* NotAMorningPerson: She is known for being bad at mornings. She gets up early for her job during the week, but sleeps in late on the weekends.
* OlderSidekick: To Negi. He is only ten and she is a teenager.
* OlderThanSheLooks: Before too much time passes, it's clear that Asuna has a history she doesn't remember and is at least a little older than she appears. [[spoiler:She was used as a human weapon for at least a century, was involved in the War and only after that did she begin to age normally. Thus, she should be at least a hundred and thirty years old.]]
* OneHeadTaller: Than Negi. The romance is debatable, but when she hugs him during the Magic World reunion the effect is obvious.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Asuna appears to be a normal schoolgirl who just happens to get involved in magic because of Negi, but her AntiMagic powers and amnesia imply she's much more than that. [[spoiler:Turns out she's a princess from the Magic World.]]
* OutWithABang: PG version, after a WorldTree-controlled Negi catches her in a deep kiss that ends after she's passed out from lack of oxygen.
* OverlyLongName: Her full name is very long, but most people don't know it. [[spoiler:Her full name, Asuna Vesperina Theotanasia Entheofushia, notes her status as an imperial princess of the Ostian bloodline.]]
* PaperFanOfDoom: The weaker form of her pactio artifact is a fan that cancels all summons and dispels some forms of magic.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:Her AntiMagic actually caused a FloatingContinent to crash and nearly destroyed the entire Magic World.]]
* PhlebotinumGirl: She was used as a human weapon at some point, but the story doesn't say how at the time. [[spoiler:Her antimagic abilities are actually a little more extensive than that and allow her to be used as a catalyst for a ritual that could destroy the entire magic world. On a smaller scale, they're still quite potent.]]
* PluckyGirl: She's very brave and never gives up.
* PrecociousCrush: She's had a crush on Takamichi for a few years now. She's turned down not necessarily because Takamichi doesn't like her (though he clearly doesn't) but because he feels he's unworthy of love in the first place.
* PutOnABus: She's captured and disappears from the story for about fifty chapters, [[spoiler:but she's replaced by a perfect copy during that time.]]
* RagsToRoyalty: She's just a normal middle schooler, [[spoiler:who is actually the last valid descendant of the Ostian bloodline. Negi is another, but his mother was imprisoned as a scapegoat, so Asuna is apparently considered the heir to the line.]]
* RapunzelHair: Even though she wears it in GirlishPigtails, her hair reaches her knees.
* RedHeadedHeroine: A heroic FieryRedhead.
* RipVanWinkle: [[spoiler:For Negi's plan to save the magic world to succeed, she has to be put into stasis for a century. She oversleeps by another thirty years. If she hadn't, she could have at least met Ayaka again.]]
* SacredFirstKiss: Initially reluctant to make a Pactio for this reason. Later she claims it doesn't count because it was a Pactio, not a ''real'' kiss. Judging by the way everyone else in the story views Pactios the only one she's fooling is herself.
* SharedUnusualTrait: She and Princess Arika have heterochromia. [[spoiler:They have a common ancestor in the Lifemaker.]]
* SheCleansUpNicely: She receives several reactions from her classmates after seeing her actually taking care of her appearance such as at the ball.
* ShipperOnDeck: She supports Konoka and Setsuna's relationship and enjoys teasing the latter about it.
* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:When her memories are forcibly returned to her, her former self as Princess Asuna comes into conflict with her Asuna Kagurazaka self and nearly destroys it. She ends up accepting both sides of herself, though the Kagurazaka personality is the one she actually displays.]]
* SuperSenses: Asuna possesses both super sight and super hearing.
* SuperSpeed: Without using any magic she can run as fast as a professional bike.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Not only is she related to magic, [[spoiler:she's flat out a magical princess.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Her first level in badass was her pactio, her second was in learning kanka and finally after entering the magical world her growth rate skyrocketed [[spoiler:due to subconsciously remembering how to fight]] and ended up about on par with Setsuna [[spoiler:before being captured]].
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Flashbacks show that Asuna originally was a smart-mouthed EmotionlessGirl, but frequent, violent interactions with Ayaka turned her into the cheerful FieryRedhead {{Tsundere}} of today.
* {{Tsundere}}: Aggresive type, though not as exaggerated as [[LoveHina Naru]]. As Negi himself describes her, Asuna is "overbearing, crude and violent", but an incredibly kind and caring CoolBigSis.
* UnskilledButStrong: In sheer specs, she's both quite powerful and fast, but isn't a trained fighter like Kaede or Setsuna. Thus, by the early parts of the Magic World, she appears to be almost on par with Setsuna, supposedly the strongest of Negi's ministra and a skilled shinmeiryu swordsman, simply by virtue of sheer speed and power. [[spoiler:By the ''end'' of the Magic World arc, she appears to be strong enough to actually work as Negi's partner while again showing no real sign of technique.]] Anti magic, of course, adds a great deal of utility to certain possible fights.
* YouCantFightFate: In the first anime's alternate story, Asuna was doomed to die on her 14th birthday due to a DealWithTheDevil so the demons would stop following her and bringing destruction wherever she went. Nagi attempted to save her and was promptly crushed under a bridge. She has to die and comes back in time to break the deal.
* ZettaiRyouiki: [[RankInflation Grade S]]!

[[folder:Sakurazaki Setsuna]]
[[quoteright:292:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2897.JPG]]

Setsuna is a swordsman and exorcist who was friends with Konoka when they were both young. However, she was also supposed to be her bodyguard and after failing to protect her she started to grow distant from Konoka, believing she could guard her better from the shadows. As such, the relationship between them starts strained and Setsuna tends to be very quiet and aloof from the rest of the cast. However, after the relationship between them is mended she starts becoming friends [[ShipTease and possibly more]] with Konoka once more, as well as getting along quite well with Asuna.

Setsuna practices the Shinmeiryuu sword style, a set of techniques designed to allow practitioners to combat demons and spirits. She herself is [[HalfHumanHybrid half]] youkai and an outcast of the Tengu tribe, who feared her white wings, implied to be due to albinism. Though she has a complex about revealing her wings and is further rarely able to do so in public, they give her the ability to fly and are quite strong in combat. Further, she pactios with Negi early on, granting the artifact ''Sica Shishikushiro'', a wakizashi (short sword) that can have up to 16 flying duplicates using her mental power.

->'''Voiced by:''' YuuKobayashi (Japanese), Dana Schultes (English, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!''), Creator/CheramiLeigh (English, ''Negima!?'')
----
* ActionGirl: Fights almost as much as Asuna.
* {{Adorkable}}: Can act like this when her cool demeanor flies out the window in the presence of her [[BodyguardCrush Ojou-sama]].
* AesopAmnesia: After seemingly getting over her self-image issues, she goes right back to being emo a few chapters later. Multiple times.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Setsuna's white wings mark her as an outcast of her species; she even was exiled by her tribe because of it. Viewing herself as an outcast is still an issue for her.
* BadassAdorable: She's one of the top three or four fighters in the group, but contrasting the tall and imposing Kaede she's small and waifish.
* BadassInANiceSuit: During the ball she wears a nice suit rather than a dress. When it's pointed out, she says it's easier to move in. A valid concern at the time.
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' mess with Konoka.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: She fooled everyone that didn't know her while in her male period clothes during her NotADate with Konoka at the cinema town. Plus, they ''did'' [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer make her look fetching]].
* BigDamnKiss: Her Pactio with [[spoiler:Konoka]]. According to Chamo they even broke the length record.
* BodyguardCrush: She is very devoted to Konoka. As early as post Kyoto the romance starts getting teased at.
* ButNowIMustGo: At the end of the Kyoto arc, she tries to run away after revealing herself as a half-Tengu to Negi and co., but gets a lecture from Negi and decides to stay by Konoka's side.
* CantBatheWithoutAWeapon: She bathes with her demon-hunting sword.
* ChekhovsGunman: Akamatsu kept her OutOfFocus until the [[ClassTrip Kyoto arc]]; Negi once referred to her as one of the students he'd like to get to know better. Needless to say, she becomes one of Ala Alba's most trusted fighters.
* CherryBlossomGirl: Her family name contains Sakura, her attacks sometimes have a cherry blossom theme and she at least looks like a YamatoNadeshiko in universe.
* TheComicallySerious: Early in the series, her deadpan attitude comes off as funny in comical situations. It stops once she becomes more relaxed and easily flustered. In the anime ''Negima?!'', most of her funny moments come from her taking everything far too seriously.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Setsuna has a low and powerful voice for such a slender and petite woman, as befits a tough swordswoman. This also extends to the fact that [[{{Bifauxnen}} she can pass for a male]].
* CovertPervert: While detailing Asuna's abilities on a diagram featuring a [[BarbieDollAnatomy naked]] Asuna, she mentions her AntiMagic and her SuperSpeed... and then notes "Bust: Not bad", as well as a reference to Asuna's lack of hair anywhere aside from her scalp. Later, Zazie shows Negi Setsuna's "perfect world" [[spoiler:in the [[LotusEaterMachine Cosmo Entelechia dream world]]]] and apologizes for it being so perverse: Konoka making Setsuna breakfast... while wearing a NakedApron. And later, Setsuna concludes that the best future for her is finally having sex with Konoka.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was exiled from her tribe due to her pure-white wings, which were considered to be a bad omen as she was born into the bird tribe of demons.
* DatePeepers: Joins the other girls watching Negi and Nodoka.
* DeathGlare: Setsuna will give a good one of these to anyone who threatens Konoka.
* DemonSlayer: Setsuna's style of combat was developed specifically to exorcise demons by targeting them instead of the person they were inhabiting.
* DualWielding: She occasionally uses the massive Yuunagi in one hand and either its scabbard or Sica Shishikushiro on the other.
* DyeOrDie: It's implied that she is an [[HeroicAlbino albino]], but she uses hair dye and colored contacts to live in normal society after being exiled her from tribe.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Besides being paired off with Konoka and getting Tsukuyomi's [[PsychoLesbian psychotic attraction]], Setsuna gains the admiration of many girls while wearing a {{Bifauxnen}} outfit.
* TheExile: She was exiled from the crow demon tribe for being a white-feathered half-demon.
* FailureKnight: During several years, she decided to protect Konoka from afar without speaking a word to her due to feeling ashamed of her failure to save Konoka from almost drowning when they were kids. All Konoka wanted was to be friends with Setsuna again.
* FantasticArousal: She appears to consider grooming her wings an intimate act, though since she uses them as shields or weapons they must be fairly insensitive.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her hair, shaped like a single wing, possibly alluding to her halfling heritage.
* FreakinessShame: She's uncomfortable about her wings and half demon heritage. Nobody else minds.
--->'''Setsuna:''' "This is my true form. I'm a monster, just like them. Don't misunderstand, my desire to protect Oujo-sama is real! I've just kept this a secret... because I was afraid she would hate me in this ugly form..."\\
'''Asuna:''' "What are you talking about? I think they're cool!"
* HalfHumanHybrid: A half bird-demon.
* HeroicAlbino: Implied. Eva mentions that she dyes her hair, and asks if she's wearing contacts.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Due to feeling she isn't strong enough to properly protect Konoka, Setsuna has some serious self-worth issues and tends to beat herself up every time she feels she has failed as a warrior, just like when Tsukuyomi nearly defeats her.
* HunterOfHerOwnKind: While she is a half demon herself, Setsuna uses a style of combat that was developed specifically to battle demons.
* IAmWhatIAm: She's ashamed of her white wings, which the tengu believe means she's a sign of ill omen. Her friends tell her it makes her look like an angel and she relaxes about it in front of them, though Eva shows it's still a bit of a sore spot.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Played with. Admits to feeling some attraction towards teenaged Negi, but is pretty clearly a lesbian paired off with Konoka and expressing some attraction towards Asuna.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: Shinmeiryuu-style, which allows her to cut twenty-foot balls of solid ice and a HumongousMecha in half.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: She's rather socially dense, largely as a result of her having very strong ideas regarding social class. While most people don't seem to be bothered by her formality, those with a perceived higher status tend to get the princess treatment, which they hate. For example, she keeps referring to Konoka as ojou-sama/milady despite Konoka always telling her to use her name and near the end of the manga she even makes Asuna cry by acting like a servant instead of as one of Asuna's closest friends after Asuna is revealed to be [[spoiler:a princess]]. The reaction was exaggerated somewhat to make Setsuna cut it out ''right this instant'', but only a little.
* InsecureLoveInterest: Through the entirety of the manga, she always feels unworthy of Konoka for one reason or the other.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Her disguise in the Magic World and her outfit from [[spoiler:her Pactio with Konoka]] have cat ears.
* LadyOfWar: At her best, she looks very graceful while she uses her sword.
* LettingHerHairDown: She starts to stop wearing her hair in a {{Samurai}} style side-pony tail in the later chapters once she starts growing out of her intensely serious, near-deadpan demeanor.
* LonerTurnedFriend: Starts out as a loner FailureKnight, but eventually opens up and becomes close friends with Asuna and Negi.
* LuminescentBlush: Whenever the conversation turns to her relationship with Konoka, she goes bright pink.
* MagicKnight: Chamo calls Setsuna by the trope name after he sees her using spell tags to form a defense.
* MagicPants: Appears to go between releasing her wings by [[SexyBacklessOutfit lifting the back of her shirt]] to having them appear directly through the cloth without tearing.
* MarriedToTheJob: She's very dedicated to her job as a bodyguard and seems to be unable to think of herself as something more than that, which usually makes it hard for her and Konoka to have a normal relationship.
* {{Meido}}: During the TournamentArc, Setsuna and Asuna get pressganged into wearing maid outfits to appeal to the crowd. Also [[spoiler:her outfit from her Pactio with Konoka]].
* MindControlEyes: During her BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind.
* ModestyShorts: She wears cycling shorts under her skirt.
* MyGreatestFailure: Setsuna's initial FailureKnight nature has its roots in an incident where she tried to save Konoka from drowning, fell in herself, and both were rescued by someone else. As a result, Setsuna constantly tries to train harder so it won't happen again.
* PerpetualMolt: Setsuna always leaves a dramatic shower of feathers behind whenever she spreads her wings.
* ThePioneer: [[spoiler:According to the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, she became one of the most famous first-generation pilots of the space age.]]
* PlayboyBunny: During the early Mahorafest arc, she gets dragged into a playboy bunny outfit. Chao snickers at her when she tries to use a cool line.
* PowerGivesYouWings: In ''Negima!?'' her wings come from her pactio card.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: She is considered beautiful because of her incredibly pale skin and raven-black hair. However, it's implied that she actually has [[HeroicAlbino white hair]].
* {{Sarashi}}: A trained swordswoman who wears the sarashi bra version.
* SchoolgirlLesbians: The subtext of her relationship with Konoka just kept getting more and more obvious, leading all the way to [[spoiler:the Pactio with one of the longest kisses ever]], then continues getting more blatant with Setsuna's CovertPervert fantasy sequences. [[TransparentCloset You're not fooling anyone there, Setsuna.]] This becomes MORE obvious in Negima?! and is the subject of several eyecatches.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: She is almost always seen wearing her school uniform.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: The traditional clothes of her people.
* SlipknotPonytail: When Chao wants to show that Setsuna can't match her, she casually yanks off her hair band before Setsuna even notices.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She tries to show herself as a cold and levelheaded swordswoman, but she is actually very kind and caring. Konoka knows it and usually tries to bring out her warmer side.
* SuperSenses: Setsuna's Ki allows her to at least triple her senses.
* ThunderShock: At one point she makes a terrible joke and has to apologize for it after the thunder disappears.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's mostly a serious, samurai-like ActionGirl and seems to feel comfortable to wear masculine clothing on occasion, but she still has her has her bouts of girliness.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Started as cold as ice due to seeing herself as a FailureKnight, but after the events of the Kyoto Arc, she opened up a lot more and became friendlier. Lampshaded by Evangeline during their match in the Mahora Festival TournamentArc.
* TransparentCloset: Setsuna is so obviously lesbian for her "{{Ojou}}-sama" Konoka that practically everyone knows it despite her frequent denials.
* TsurimeEyes: She had much sharper eyes early on as a way to mark her as the serious and distant ActionGirl obsessed with maintaining her abilities as a swordswoman she was at the beginning and to contrast Konoka's TaremeEyes. When she starts letting her emotions out, they become noticeably rounder.
* WaifFu: She has a thin build and is quite short, but she's quite strong. However, she favors skill based techniques rather than strength.
* WingedHumanoid: Due to being a half bird-demon, Setsuna has a pair of wings that she can summon at will. Occasionally, Setsuna will have her wings in a cute little 'cupid' form, although this might just be for laughs.
* WingPull: During the end of the Kyoto trip Setsuna was forced to reveal the wings she normally keeps hidden.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Chamo thought she ''looked'' like one at first. She's not even close, though.

[[folder:Hasegawa Chisame]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2398.JPG]]

The only character without a WeirdnessCensor, Chisame was introduced as a strange girl with a [[LivingADoubleLife double life]] -- a grumpy loner at school, but also internet idol "Chiu" at home. Her initial function was to [[MetaGuy snark about the implausibility]] of the situations she finds herself roped in, and initially tries [[AgentScully to deny or devise a mundane explanation]] for the supernatural events she witness, until Chachamaru confirms that she is indeed a robot, that Negi is also a powerful mage, and that she stumbled upon a plot to reveal magic to the world. Chisame thus gets involved in the plot to help maintain the life she's familiar with.

->'''Voiced by:''' Yumi Shimura (Japanese) and Creator/CaitlinGlass (English)
----
* ActionSurvivor: She's a relatively normal girl who's forced into the magical world to survive on her own, which she manages with Negi's help.
* ApathyKilledTheCat: Played with. She seems like she's trying to avoid how things work, but at the same time she's the only one who actually seems to think it matters.
* ButtMonkey: Bad things just happen to her, though it's rarely serious.
* CantStayNormal: A more reluctant example, having been metaphorically dragged down to paranormal kicking and screaming before leaping out to gasp for air, only to discover that air is now too easy and boring, and therefore ending up in a combination of being dragged down again and saying "the hell with it".
* CosplayOtakuGirl: The first time she's a focus character, she was dressing up in various costumes for her website.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Yue, Chisame had a tendency early on to lampshade the absurdity of the situation. Unlike Yue, she really grew into the role rather than slowly losing it. This is about ten times funnier when she's in her Chiu outfit.
* TheDragAlong: Post Mahorafest she wanted to stay by herself and keep out of the group, but Chachamaru always dragged her along. When Chachamaru apparently briefly quits it, she gets bored and comes along voluntarily.
* {{Expy}}: Like Asuna, Akamatsu considers her an expy of Naru from ''LoveHina'', though of 'nerdy Naru' as opposed to Asuna's 'protective Naru.'
* GenericCuteness: She's ''supposed'' to have bad skin and pimples, but it doesn't show. Of course, the only one who actually claims that is herself, and she has notably low self esteem concerning her looks.
* GenreSavvy: While it doesn't help her much, she often predicts how events will turn sour for her. As the resident MetaGirl, she also often points tropes out.
* GirlishPigtails: In her child form.
* GreenEyedMonster: She often gets jealous when seeing Negi with other girls.
* {{Hikikomori}}: Left to her own devices she stays inside all day on the internet, though she only gets angry rather than anxious if taken out. [[spoiler:Gets worse post university.]]
* IdiotHair: She has one and she's the only class member without a WeirdnessCensor.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Frequently loudly moans about how she wants all the magic to go away and leave her alone [[spoiler:but she's lying; She's perfectly content with how involved she is.]]
* {{Kemonomimi}}: Cat ears and a tail in the Magic World.
* LittleMissSnarker: Thanks to some liberal use of age changing pills, she looks a 10 year old girl and is still as snarky as ever.
* LivingADoubleLife: A grumpy loner at school and the internet idol "Chiu" at home.
* MetaGal: She knows all about how fantasy stories go, which really helps her keep up with everything going on.
* NerdGlasses: She doesn't actually need them, but likes to hide behind them.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Most notably when [[spoiler: Poyo's LotusEaterMachine]] proves that she's the happiest and most satisfied with living in a FantasyKitchenSink of anyone in the group.
* OnlySaneWoman: Or so she wants to be. Negi seems to think so, considering he's more or less appointed her as his [[LizLemonJob "voice of reason"]], at least until [[spoiler:they rescue Asuna]].
* PlayboyBunny: One of Chiu's costumes.
* PlayfulHacker: Falls under this when she's not being the MetaGal.
* ProudToBeAGeek: Even as grumpy as she is, she loves being a geek.
* PurelyAestheticGlasses: She actually has ''better'' than average vision, and uses the glasses to hide behind.
* RapunzelHair: It reaches her waist.
* RefusalOfTheCall: She fights to get away from the weirdness, at first.
* TheSnarkKnight: ''Extremely'' distant and snarky when formally introduced. Her attitude gradually toned down quite a bit as she integrated into the central cast, but she still qualifies.
* StraightMan: One of the most normal people in the series. Or at least, the only one who seems to notice how crazy everything is. She even points out the weirdness of her class in her focus episode in the anime.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Acts as one for Asuna during the Mundus Magicus arc before Negi meets up with her again. After that she shifts roles slightly into more of an adviser rather than directly limiting his actions. Lampshaded by Jack.
* {{Technopath}}: Chisame's artifact allows a mental internet link.
* TechnoWizard: Becomes one after her pactio.
* TemptingFate: She shouldn't have joked about fighting someone in the middle of a conspiracy. Or about making a Pactio.
* {{Tsundere}}: Described as a borderline case by Akamatsu. She actually likes the Ala Alba group, Chachamaru and Negi quite a bit, but since she's naturally abrasive she hates to show it. She also can get even more violent than Asuna when it comes to Negi.
* {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs, but during her focus chapter post-Mundus Magicus she was talking about pulling an "IfICantHaveYou" on Negi.
--> '''Chisame:''' "Oh yeah, you're gonna get stabbed and killed one day! No, I'm going to stab you and then I'll die too."

[[folder:Inugami Kotarō]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00228867_2235.jpg]]

Negi's [[FireForgedFriends best friend]] and [[TheRival rival]] ever since he got [[DefeatMeansFriendship pummelled by him]] during the Kyoto ClassTrip. In many ways, he's a textbook {{shonen}} action protagonist, and often contrasted to Negi, to whom he sometimes (futilely) tries teaching how to act like a [[IdiotHero brash and overconfident]] hero rather than a meek and [[{{Keigo}} polite]] BadassBookworm. Kotaro is still in the 'girls have cooties' stage of development, though Chizuru and Natsumi become surrogate older sisters for him.

As he's [[HalfHumanHybrid Half]]-[[{{Inugami}} Dog Demon]], he can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting change shape]]. Usually, he looks human, except for [[LittleBitBeastly his ears and tail]], but can transform into a giant wolf-like dog or [[WolfMan something in between]]. He favors pure hand to hand combat, but also has the ability to control dog familiars and shadows.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue (Japanese)
----
* AdaptedOut: Didn't appear in the anime until the new OAD series.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Because of being a half youkai, he was an outcast of both human and youkai tribes. This makes him value both his friendship with Negi, and living with Chizuru and Natsumi, as they become the only true friends or family he's ever had.
* AnimalStereotypes: He styles himself as a [[IWorkAlone lone wolf]], but often lapses into [[IncrediblyLamePun doggishness]] and ends up being "domesticated" by Chizuru and Natsumi.
* {{Animorphism}}: Puppy when powers sealed, giant wolf when fully released.
* BattleAura: When unleashing his Shadow Hounds.
* BigEater: He eats a lot.
* BishieSparkle: In his teenaged form.
* {{Bishonen}}: His teenage form, much like Negi.
* BloodKnight: He loves fighting, though mostly because, as he admits, fighting is really the only thing he knows.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's rough and loud, but friendly to his allies.
* BrattyHalfPint: He's portrayed as a loud, overconfident, immature and troublesome kid, especially in his earlier appearances. This is why [[{{Shotacon}} Ayaka]] can't stand him. Some CharacterDevelopment allows him to become more mature.
* CanisMajor: His strongest form Kuon Eisou, in which he completely transforms into a wolf beast.
* CastingAShadow: He has the ability to summon vast swarms of autonomous spirit wolves made of darkness/shadow.
* ChasteHero: Just like Negi, he's oblivious to the romance thing because he hasn't even hit puberty yet.
* ChickMagnet: He attracts nearly as many ladies as Negi at the ball.
* CutlassBetweenTheTeeth: Carries Asuna's {{BFS}} between his teeth in the Magic World tournament. Not that he had much of a choice since [[spoiler:he had transformed into his monster wolf form]].
* DarkIsNotEvil: Post-HeelFaceTurn since his secondary skillset is shadow based KiAttacks.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Right before [[spoiler:their Pactio]], Kotaro tells Natsumi he will protect her because she's like family to him.
* {{Expy}}: By WordOfGod and obvious character design, he's a clear expy of Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'s eponymous character.
* GirlsHaveCooties: Plays this fairly straight (especially the romance thing), with a few exceptions in his adoptive sisters and girls who can fight. That said, he still thinks kissing is gross.
* HalfHumanHybrid: A Half-Dog Demon.
* HarbingerOfImpendingDoom: He returns after the Kyoto arc by being found injured by Chizuru and Natsumi.
* HealingFactor: He explains it as an "ability of the Inugami clan". It's not Wolverine-class, but he's taken multiple swords to the chest and recovered.
* HeelFaceTurn: He first appeared as one of [[StarterVillain Chigusa's lackeys]].
* HotBlooded: He is much more of a classic shounen protagonist than Negi himself.
* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: During the tournament finals, Kotaro gets the unfortunate role of punching bag while Negi sets up for the finishing techniques. The mauling he gets is quite brutal.
* IdiotHero: A proud and acknowledged one.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He hurts Natsumi's feelings without realizing it when [[spoiler:he says that having to form a Pactio with her is gross. After a series of misunderstandings, he explains to her that he meant that [[GirlsHaveCooties he thinks kissing is gross]], not kissing her in particular.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rough, likes to fight and is much less of an overall NiceGuy than Negi, but still a good guy.
* KansaiRegionalAccent: He speaks with this kind of accent.
* {{Kemonomimi}}: He has dog ears and a tail.
* TheLancer: Contrasting Negi, he's much more aggressive and impulsive, though he's still the closest thing Negi has to a partner after Asuna.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Between Kyoto and Graf Wilhelm, his memory is briefly wiped to prevent him leaking information.
* LimitedWardrobe: He always wears the same casual attire.
* LonerTurnedFriend: Kotaro never had any friends before meeting Negi.
* MagicPants: His pants remain perfectly intact as he transforms into his beast form.
* MeaningfulName: "Inugami" means "dog spirit".
* MonsterRoommate: Chizuru and Natsumi find an abandoned puppy, which turns into a little boy with a tail and sharp claws. They basically adopt him.
* MrFanservice: What else do you call wearing a black leather jacket, black leather pants, sneakers and no shirt paired with said jacket?
* NoSocialSkills: Having been abandoned as a child and spent his whole life doing anything normal besides training to fight, Kotaro doesn't know how to socialize with people very well.
* ObliviousToLove: He doesn't understand why Natsumi has {{Luminescent Blush}}es and shows {{Tsundere}} tendencies when he's around her.
* OlderAlterEgo: His teenaged form "Kojirou".
* TheRival: To Negi.
* SarcasticDevotee: He always insults Negi, but he is also one of his most loyal friends.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Explicitly states that his school uniform is his battle garb.
* SexierAlterEgo: His teenaged form "Kojirou" can be quite charming in a bad boy sort of way. Natsumi gets really flustered around him and even tends to forget his real age.
* ShonenHair: He has spiky black hair like the stereotypical shounen protagonist.
* ShortHairWithTail: He has a tail tied at the nape of his neck coming from his ShonenHair.
* StreetUrchin: His backstory.
* TastesLikeFriendship: Kotaro is first greeted by Chizuru and Natsumi with a homecooked meal (after an appetizer of MarshmallowHell); his constant complimenting of Chizuru's cooking pretty much seals it.
* WalkingTheEarth: At least seven years after Class 3-A's graduation, he simply ran off for some "ninja training". [[spoiler:Natsumi would follow suit, and after years of BelligerentSexualTension, they finally marry.]]
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: He even asks IsItSomethingYouEat. By the ball he acknowledges familial love.
* WouldntHitAGirl: It's actually presented as a deeply stupid comportment, and several of the {{Action Girl}}s like Kaede have tried to ''literally'' beat it out of him.

[[folder:Miyazaki Nodoka]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_9591.JPG]]

Nodoka is a quiet and seemingly shy girl in the Library Exploration Club. She quickly develops a crush on Negi and forms a pactio during the Kyoto arc, gaining an artifact that allows her to read minds, which she uses to help acquire information for the group. Despite her ShrinkingViolet attitude, she's actually quite bold when it comes to pursuing Negi. She's normally associated with her club mates and close friends Yue and Haruna.

->'''Voiced by:''' MamikoNoto (Japanese) and Creator/LeahClark (English)
----
* ACupAngst: She laments her small bust size once.
* ApologisesALot: Especially when she's either thinking an improper thought, or using her mind-reading ability in a diabolical manner (what else to be expected from a ShrinkingViolet?)
* CovertPervert: Despite her looks and usual personality, her subconscious tends to have some rather filthy fantasies, up to and including devising a kind of [[ThreesomeSubtext menage a trois]] as a solution to her LoveTriangle with Yue; thanks to Diarium Ejus, she is aware of and mortified by her subconscious' rather direct approaches to such things. And so is everybody who was reading over her shoulder.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and eyes.
* CuteBookworm: She's shy, quiet and is part of a club devoted to exploring the library.
* DesignatedVictim: During the Magic World, she's first attacked by bounty hunters to lure out Kaede and Setsuna and later Shirabe, Fate and Dynamis all make attempts to eliminate her due to her mind reading artifact.
* DoesNotLikeMen: In the anime she had a level of androphobia.
* DoggedNiceGirl: In fact, Nodoka was the ''first'' girl in the class to confess her feelings to Negi all the way back in the Kyoto arc.
* {{Expy}}: She's clearly one to Akamatsu's earlier character, [[Manga/LoveHina Shinobu Maehara]]. They look extremely similar and have the same shy, quiet attitude. Both are also know to be {{Covert Pervert}}s.
* HeroicBSOD: After seeing [[spoiler:Craig and Aisha get erased from existence]] in front of her her mind shuts down and Asakura is seemingly left alone desperately trying to think of a way out. She quickly recovers, however, and [[spoiler:steals Dynamis' Grandmaster Key.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Not that good at receiving praise, even if it was well-earned.
* HiddenEyes: She started with [[BlindingBangs very long bangs obscuring her eyes]], to highlight her terminal shyness. As her shyness subsided, she [[PeekABangs first became cyclopean]] then was drawn normally.
* IdiotHair: She has one.
* InSeriesNickname: "Hon'ya", Japanese for "Bookstore" or potentially Bookstore keeper. The English translation at first [[InconsistentDub jumped back and forth]] between "Librarian", "Bookshop", and variants thereof before eventually settling on the literal translation, "Bookstore". It can also mean "bookworm" (the "ya" being sometimes indicative of a character trait or an deep interest in something).
* LivingLieDetector: Diarium Ejus can read minds with a great deal of detail, so in situations where she's safe from retaliation it makes her excellent at information recovery with no chance of misinformation.
* {{Munchkin}}: After being separated from the group in Mundus Magicus she joined a group of treasure hunters. She eschews any valuable treasure, instead aiming for ''Comptina Daemonia'' and ''Auris Recitans''. These items' powers combine with her Diarium Ejus to make it useful in real time instead of having to rely on the target willingly giving up their name and letting Nodoka sit down and read.
* NiceGirl: She's gentle and supportive even of her love rivals.
* PeekABangs: After opening up a little her eyes begin appearing more and more until finally the bangs essentially vanish.
* PluckyGirl: Negi getting his ass kicked by Fate? She gets Kotaro to teleport her in right next to Fate to figure out his plan. [[spoiler:Friends get erased from existence right in front of her]]? Panic for a few seconds, then [[spoiler:read his mind, steal his key and teleport to safety with critical information.]] Just because she's quiet doesn't mean she's a coward.
* ShrinkingViolet: Subverted. She's quite shy, but it's note that she's actually very assertive when it comes to pursuing Negi including a quick confession and getting a date in during Mahorafest. There's a reason her Pactio card lists "courage" as her virtue.
* WeakButSkilled: She has no combat abilities, very little magic, and effectively no experience. She does, however, have a mind reading artifact that allows her exploit an enemy's weak points in order to avoid their attacks despite being far slower and weaker than they are.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple, to be precise. (becomes blue in Negima?! though)

[[folder:Ayase Yue]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_1503.JPG]]

Yue is an [[TeenGenius extremely intelligent]] but cynical girl with [[BrilliantButLazy demotivation]] issues stemming from [[ParentalAbandonment the death of her beloved grandfather]]. She's normally quiet, distant and snarky but very supportive of her friends and Nodoka in particular, who reached out to her when she was isolated. This has some emotional consequences for her when she ends up in a LoveTriangle with her and Negi, who is largely oblivious. Most people find it difficult to read her emotions.

Yue has a fair talent for magic, but her primary strength is her intellect and quick thinking skills, which allow her to quickly come up with strategies.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsukoKuwatani (Japanese) and Creator/BrinaPalencia (English)
----
* ACupAngst: From early on, she's sure she's unattractive with her childlike body.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She's not that strong even after the Ariadne arc, but she's ''very'' well prepared and thinks things through far further ahead than almost anyone else in the story, including preparing multiple contingency spells upon seeing [[spoiler:an electric Averruncus.]]
* BadassBack: Intercepts a shadow puppet coming up behind her with her massive Ariadne sword.
* BadassBookworm: She's tiny and looks weak, but is actually a part of the library exploration club and has some pretty good survival skills. She also ends up becoming a fairly competent mage.
* BookDumb: She's one of the smartest girls in the class, but she gets poor grades and is one of the baka rangers. It's implied on occasion though that she just doesn't like studying mundane subjects. Her position in the philosophy club might play a role in this.
* BrilliantButLazy: The reason for her poor grades is that for a TeenGenius, Yue is also ''extremely'' unmotivated and she refuses to put any effort in. Once she gets a goal she wants to accomplish, she can learn in mere weeks what takes others years.
* CannotSpitItOut: She spends a good two or three hundred chapters unable to admit her feelings to Negi for him despite everyone, even rivals, telling her to do it.
* CovertPervert: If [[http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg59/Xophien/KamoRankings.jpg Chamo's charts]] are accurate, her ero rating is slightly less than Nodoka, and on par with ''Evangeline''.
* CrazyPrepared: She predicted that [[spoiler:Quintum]] would leave her paralyzed and cast a paralysis release spell in herself. Furthermore, she had sixteen predictions of how [[spoiler:Quintum]] would take them down, and it's highly possible that she had prepared countermeasures for each outcome.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple hair and eyes. In Negima?! she gains purple stockings.
* CuteWitch: Her pactio outfit puts her in a cute witch outfit complete with black witch's hat.
* DarkMagicalGirl: Yue rarely expresses real concern about the danger she's in, but at the thought she might have hurt or offended Nodoka she's reduced to tears. Nodoka was the first person to really approach her during an isolated time of her life.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's almost always very flat and emotionless looking to go along with her sarcastic side.
* DullSurprise: In ''Negima!?'', in one of the early omake segments with the Baka Rangers, while the Bakas make ready to fight their enemies, with Yue wanting to call their "giant robot", Makie is complaining that she [[RunningGag never got to do her introduction properly]]. The Baka Rangers agree to let her go first (she had been last every time). She tries to do so, [[BrickJoke and the giant robot foot comes down on Makie]], [[RunningGag interrupting her]].
-->'''Yue:''' [[DullSurprise Hey guys,]] [[CaptainObvious the robot's here]].
* EmotionlessGirl: Not really emotionless, but much more stoic than her friends, due to showing the same blasé face most of the time. It's lampshaded during the exploration of Library Island.
-->'''Konoka:''' You're really excited aren't you?\\
'''Yue:''' … hehe, does it show that much?\\
'''Asuna:''' (thinking) No it doesn't, she just has the same expression as usual…
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Haruna [[LampShadeHanging lampshades]] this trope after observing the [[ClingyJealousGirl various reactions]] of Yue's mini-harem to Yue. Needless to say, Yue isn't amused at all.
* {{Expy}}: On top of her basic physical design, she matches the [[TheQuietOne quiet]] [[SugarAndIcePersonality and reserved]] nature of VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'s Patchouli Knowledge. She's also a magical librarian and tends to wear the same outfits.
* ForeheadOfDoom: Her hair keeps her bangs out of her forehead, leaving a giant forehead for all to see.
* GagBoobs: In her Drama CD, Collette points out to Yue how small-chested she is and wants to fix it, prompting her, Emily, and Beatrix to "help" her. We all know how this ends.
* GenreSavvy: In the first season of the anime, Yue is the only person to figure out that the "Negi" who has her isn't really him. How can she tell? He starts showing more of an interest in her.
* HeroicBSOD: When Nodoka finds out about Yue's crush on Negi, Yue completely freaks out, believing Nodoka will hate her because of "betraying" her and says she would rather [[DrivenToSuicide "disappear"]] than losing Nodoka's friendship. She only calms down after Nodoka's GetAHoldOfYourselfMan.
* HighPressureEmotion: Twice in rapid succession after meeting up with Negi again, though one could say it's just one continuous moment. Doesn't mean it's not ridiculously cute and funny, especially given Collet and Emily's reactions.
* HotWitch: In the DistantFinale she's grown quite a bit taller and has more adult proportions.
* IdiotHair: Subverted. She has the hair and is one of the baka rangers, but that's actually due to nearly going out of her way to do badly.
* InSeriesNickname: Yuecchi, Yuekichi and a few more in regards to her height and [[ForeheadOfDoom large forehead]]. [[EmbarrassingNickname She isn't fond of the latter nicknames.]]
* InsecureLoveInterest: Yue spends a couple of chapters angsting about how she can't confess to Negi simply because she can't remember the reason why she fell for him in the first place. She also states that "nobody would lay eyes on this body".
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She only wishes for Negi to be happy with Nodoka, though Nodoka actually seems to get tired of her passivity.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Once she got in on the {{Masquerade}}.
* LittleMissBadass: Being vertically challenged doesn't prevent her from cementing her status on this page amongst her fellow {{Badass}} [[TrueCompanions Companions]] through a series of {{Awesome Moments}}.
* LittleMissSnarker: She's small and tends to be quietly sarcastic.
* LonerTurnedFriend: In her backstory, she used to be a loner, Nodoka was the first person to befriend her.
* MagicKnight: After her training at Ariadne she becomes a fairly good mage and acquires a massive sword.

* NewTransferStudent: Yue got to play the part for a while in the Magic World.
* OccultDetective: After the TimeSkip at the end of the manga.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She's fifteen, but looks only slightly older than Negi.
* ParentalAbandonment: The death of her beloved grandfather had such a negative effect on her that she shut herself off from the rest of the world. Since he's the only family member mentioned in Yue's life, it's possible he was the only one she had.
* ThePhilosopher: She normally averts the inaction bit of the trope, but it's noted that for all her high speed thinking she tends to get sidetracked and think about pointless things easily.
* PottyEmergency: Since she drinks juice so often she always seems to be in the bathroom. [[spoiler:Becomes a notable weak-point when consuming her large potion in 354.]] It's suggested that Yue wears more "adult" underwear as a result.
* PuttingOnMyThinkingCap: She seems to have the most going on in her head when she's calmly sipping an odd drink of some kind with a slightly blank look in her eyes.
* RapunzelHair: Down to her waist until the end of the manga.
* RedMage: While she primarily favors offensive magic, she also has a number of support and healing spells.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Her default pactio outfit gives her a long, open robe and a witch's hat.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: Her lack of height is the most emphasized in the main cast and she's also the most analytical and intelligent barring Negi himself.
* TheSnarkKnight: Initially a textbook example, complete with frequent thoughts of being "{{surrounded by idiots}}". These wanes later on, as she became part of the main group and developed a crush on Negi, though she's still quick to dissociate herself from the group whenever the insanity becomes overwhelming.
* TheStoic: She tends to be very calm and in control of her emotions [[NotSoStoic until she feels she's let Nodoka down]] or [[LuminescentBlush Negi gets too charming.]] She also doesn't handle [[spoiler:Emily's apparent death]] well either.
* StraightMan: In contrast to the quiet and polite Nodoka and the ridiculous Haruna, Yue tends to be quietly sarcastic.
* StrawNihilist: She pretty much felt that the world was without meaning following the death of her grandfather. Luckily, she got better when she befriended Nodoka, Haruna, and Konoka.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She appears to be [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless]], but she cares very much about her friends and being part of a LoveTriangle with her best friend causes her to break down and reveal a very warm side.
* TeenGenius: Not only is Yue one of the smartest girls in Class 3-A, she's also one of the smartest characters in the entire series.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: She once cheated during a pillow fight by hiding thick dictionaries in her pillows.
* TookALevelInBadass: At the start of the series she was a muggle and before going to the magic world she still wasn't as good as Negi was at the beginning of the series.
** Once in the Magic World, however, she enrolled in the Ariadne Academy for knights due to amnesia based lack of direction. With her memories not holding her effort back, she puts in some amazingly hard work and within about a month becomes the academy's top student [[spoiler:and planning out the successful defeat of a griffin dragon.]]
** During the chapters of the manga there's a brief skip forward to what Yue is doing now. [[spoiler:She has invented a completely safe, liquid-based Magia Erebea-like spell storage and release system. While she doesn't seem to get the physical benefits Negi does, Yue also doesn't seem to get any of the physical detriments. All she needs to do is take a swig of a potion, and she has a bunch of spells for instant cast whenever the hell she wants. Damn Yue.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's often shown with a juice of outlandish composition in hand, though the actual contents are always different.
* TransformationSequence: In her spin-off {{OVA}} she gets a long pactio equipping scene. Her bra seems to pity her.
* TsurimeEyes: Fitting with her snarky and unsocial nature are her serious looking eyes.
* VerbalTic: Overuses ''desu'' and speaks like [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness an encyclopedia]].
* WeakButSkilled: She doesn't have much in the way of raw power yet, but she's already an expert in magical theory despite the short time she's had to really learn about it. [[spoiler:Taking down a griffin dragon with a ceremonial knife by exploiting tiny weak points? Yes, please.]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: Future Yue's potion power-up comes with one major weakness, namely that she only has so much time before all that liquid she drinks runs its course and leaves her with the natural consequences.
* WorthlessForeignDegree: In the epilogue Yue runs into this problem as [[{{Terraform}} ISS]][[SpaceElevator DA]] didn't accept her degree and career history from MagicWorld.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is purple.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Wears thigh high black stockings, which are purple in Negima?!

[[folder:Karakuri Chachamaru]]
[[quoteright:284:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_4046.JPG]]

Chachamaru is a robot designed by Chao and Hakase with a magic based power source fueled by Evangeline, her master. Despite looking older than many of her classmates, she is in fact the youngest person in the cast at only two years of age. She tends to appear emotionless, but is very kind and helpful. She also likes to tease Evangeline with a completely straight face. She has a crush on Negi, which causes issues for her since she's forced into conflict with him twice before she's able to act as an ally. During the second incident she makes friends with Chisame despite the latter's irritation with anything outside the ordinary, which definitely extends to humanoid robots going to middle school.

Chachamaru is designed to be quite tough and appears to know some form of martial arts. She also has many weapons hidden inside her body and as a robot has information warfare capabilities.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AkenoWatanabe (Japanese) and Creator/CaitlinGlass (English)
----
* ActionGirl: She was Negi's entrance exam for Eva's training. Later, she beats up a dragon.
* {{Adorkable}}: She has her moments of cute awkwardness, especially around Negi.
* AnimalMotifs: She has an association with the better qualities of cats. They even feature into her pactio.
* ArmCannon: Part of her new {{Swiss Army Appendage}}s from her MidSeasonUpgrade.
* BadassAdorable: This RobotGirl can make [[spoiler:a KillSat]] look really cute.
* BadLiar: When her teasing antics are turned against her, she gets badly flustered and makes some incredibly transparent denials.
* BareYourMidriff: In her Pactio outfit.
* BerserkButton: Trying to harm a sick Negi while Chachamaru is around is a very bad idea. It's perhaps the only time [[NiceGirl Chachamaru]] has actually looked angry.
* {{BFG}}: Her body contains weaponry and thus she can morph her arm into a cannon.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Part of her new {{Swiss Army Appendage}}s from her MidSeasonUpgrade.
* BloodFromTheMouth: After Quartum [[spoiler:cuts her in two]] she begins leaking hydraulic fluid from her mouth since she doesn't have actual blood.
* CatGirl: Of the LittleBitBeastly variety; when her Pactio card is engaged she gains kitty ears.
* CovertPervert: She feels pleasure from being refueled via the key in the back of her head, which grows more intense as more magic energy is put in. After Negi fails to realize the awkward parts of this she apparently starts looking forward to it, which Asakura teases her about. For her part, she wonders if she's heading down the wrong path in life.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and eyes.
* EmotionlessGirl: Although she is less 'emotionless' and more 'expressionless'. She has emotions, but her face doesn't display it very well.
* EyeBeams: One of her abilities. She frequently uses these for her ranged attacks.
* FanservicePack: Halfway through the story, Hakase equips her with a realistic skin to hide her robotic body, making her look like, well, pretty much a normal woman. It doesn't take long for it to be shown in a bath scene.
* FantasticArousal: The key winding gives physical pleasure similar to that of a pactio, only it lasts longer, can be more intense if more energy is added and has to be done every day if she's to be in top performance.
* FriendToAllChildren: When Negi and Asuna followed her in an early chapter, they found her surrounded by a lot of children who're playing with her while she goes around doing good deeds, like handing a balloon stuck in a tree back to the little girl who lost it.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Along with helping all the townspeople as above, she also feeds a ton of cats, which all seem to love her.
* TheGadfly: After awhile it becomes clear that she's apparently fond of teasing Eva in a completely deadpan manner.
* GlassCannon: [[spoiler:Al-Iskandariya is quite possibly Ala Alba's most powerful weapon but it does nothing for her defenses. So with a full power blast, she not only knocked out Fate's shields, she knocked him out for a good ten minutes. In a single blow. And was immediately hit with a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Quartum.]]
* HasTwoMommies: Hakase and Chao worked together to build Chachamaru with a little support from Evangeline on the power source. The former two are considered her parents and the latter her master.
* HimeCut: One of her YamatoNadeshiko traits.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: She's uncomfortable with showing her body when it looks obviously robotic, but after she gets artificial skin she's completely confused by Negi asking her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn.
* KindheartedCatLover: One of the first hints we get that Chachamaru is a lot nicer than being the minion of a vampire lord would suggest is her attitude towards cats.
* {{Magitek}}: She runs partially on magic.
* MeaningfulName: "Cha" is a common pronunciation of the Japanese character for "tea"; "karakuri" literally translates into "mechanism". The translated title for her pactio, Dreaming Doll, also ties in to her character arc.
* MoralityPet: Evangeline's treatment of her is one of the many signs that [[NobleDemon she's not as evil as she says]]. Sure, she picks on her, but she's also nearly her mother.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: She came into conflict with Negi twice despite her obvious feelings for him. Both times because were because she was unwilling to act against her parents or master.
* MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat: Apparently [[TheGadfly just to pick on them]] Chachamaru at one point starts indicating the obvious signs of attraction the girls are feeling.
* PickYourHumanHalf: When the series started, she had obvious mechanical joints, antenna ears and with only a human looking face, but also possessed the full emotional spectrum even if she couldn't always express it well. Later, though, she does look more or less completely human, retaining only the ears.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair acts as heat dissipator; thus the longer her hair, the greater the exposed surface area and thus increased efficiency in heat dissipation.
* RescueRomance: Chachamaru started to have interest in Negi after he [[TakingTheBullet took the bullet]] from his own attack after he couldn’t bring himself to hurt her.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: She wasn't ''supposed'' to be one, [[InstantAIJustAddWater but she is]]. Hakase programmed her with rudimentary emotions and to mimic human activities she cannot perform otherwise like drinking tea, but she was ''not'' supposed to develop subjectivity, which is the basis of the majority of her CharacterDevelopment.
* {{Robosexual}}: Teased at. She has obvious feelings for Negi and feels an equivalent to sexual pleasure, but the idea of making a move on him doesn't even seem to occur to her. As far as being 'anatomically correct' goes, she refused upgrades several times.
* RobotGirl: She is a very beautiful female magic robot.
* RobotHair: She has hair which is [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair pastel green]]. It's a synthetic material which functions as her heat sink, but only the color visually distinguishes it from normal hair.
* RobotNames: To clarify the above, "Karakuri" means "mechanism".
* RocketPunch: Usually played for laughs, such as punching Hakase for checking out her memory files that she wanted kept private.
* SexySecretary: Volunteers to work as Negi's secretary while [[spoiler:works on the space elevator plan.]] It's a long term project with a lot of work involved and therefore suitable for an immortal being that doesn't require sleep.
* StatuesqueStunner: She is 174cm tall and has one of the more adult figures of the class.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's obviously a kind person and recognized as such, but she's almost always monotone and expressionless if not at an emotional peak.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Her new body's arms can [[MorphWeapon morph]] into [[ArmCannon assault rifles]] or [[BladeBelowTheShoulder swords]] -- and morph [[ShapeshifterWeapon ''back'' into arms]].
* SymbolicBlood: After [[spoiler:being bisected by Quatrum]] she "bleeds" coolant.
* TinmanTypist: This is how she fights in the Mahora Battle.
* UnusualEars: Her ears are actually antennae. Chisame is frustrated that she's the [[MetaGuy only one who seems to notice this]].
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Played with. Because she can take more damage it's not unusual for this to be shown. [[spoiler:She gets cut in half by Quartum at one point because he doesn't view her as alive. The scene is completely brutal with the level of violence inflicted upon her viewed as being as unacceptable as happening to anyone else especially with the damage shown: Her innards are showing, including a structural spine and SymbolicBlood everywhere.]]
* WildCard: Because of the whole "MyMasterRightOrWrong" thing conflicting with her desire to help Negi it becomes difficult to guess how she'll act until the Magic World arc begins.
* WindUpKey: She needs to be wound up every so often. It feels very good to her, so it often causes her embarrassment in the hands of an overenthusiastic winder.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Seeing as how she was created to be acquiescent, it is not surprising that she would have this sort of SilkHidingSteel programming; she fits many of the physical requirements as well. She's also part of the same tea ceremony club as Evangeline.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has long green hair.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: The only character who is younger than Negi because she was built to look the age she does. During the ball, she also points out to an angsting Natsumi that she isn't the only one with issues. She's two years old, so what life experience could she have?
* ZettaiRyouiki: Apparently a permanent fixture in her synthetic skin. With [[FingerlessGloves Fingerless]] OperaGloves to match.

[[folder:Konoe Konoka]]
[[quoteright:288:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_2970.JPG]]

Asuna's bubbly, [[GenkiGirl energetic]] friend and roommate. She's the heir of a rich and prominent noble family, specifically a fictionalized version of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konoe_family Konoe family]] itself a branch of the ancient and aristocratic Fujiwara clan which has provided marriages for the Imperial family and once effectively ruled Japan. She is also granddaughter of Mahora's Headmaster, Konoemon. Unknown to her, they are also a line of powerful magi, and she has the potential to match her ancestors: Her raw magical capacity surpasses that of Negi himself, though she isn't able to utilize it particularly well for combat purposes.

After being let in on the secret, she started training to become the group medic, though her role gradually lessened into orbiting around Setsuna.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiNonaka (Japanese) and Creator/MonicaRial (English)

* GenkiGirl: She's very energetic and also very carefree.
* TheGlomp: She tends to deliver tackling hugs to Setsuna (or other characters occasionally).

[[folder:Ku Fei]]
[[quoteright:289:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_8721.JPG]]

Ku Fei is a Chinese exchange student with incredible skill in martial arts and immense strength. Seeing her skill, Negi asks her to teach him kenpo, which he picks up at a rate she considers unfair. Because she starts the series unable to use ki, she tends to lag behind the heavier hitters like Kaede despite being considered her superior when it comes to sheer skill in martial arts.

Her grades don't match her physical ability in the slightest and she speaks with an accent. She also has a rather straightforward and friendly personality.

* BareFistedMonk: She is a good fist figther and wipes the floor with weapon-users routinely.

* CannotKeepASecret: She's told to keep a secret during Mahorafest twice, once regarding Albireo's true identity and another time regarding Chao planning to leave the class. She blurts it out almost instantly both times.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: A bit ditzy, but not out-and-out crazy.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: In a world filled with [[FantasyKitchenSink mages, vampires, half-demons, ninjas, robots]] and other beings somewhat cognizant of magic, she achieved [[BadassNormal exceptional strength in battle]] [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower by training a lot]] in her chosen style. Once the difficulty spiked for her, she started using ki rather than pure martial arts as well as making a Pactio with Negi. Her relative weakness often makes her more impressive looking in universe

* HeirToTheDojo: She is the successor to the Ku warrior clan. [[spoiler:And as of the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, she has since set up a dojo to accommodate challengers and future followers alike.]]
* ImprobableWeaponUser: She weaponized cloth in her fight with Mana.
* KungFuKid: As far as martial arts go she's basically the highest level fighter in the group, but her control of ki lags behind the rest of the group.
* VerbalTic: She uses "Aru" instead of the proper sentence endings, which is anime code for "I am an anime character with a Chinese accent." In official translations she gets HulkSpeak instead while fan translations leave it untranslated. For some reason, she loses it in the first anime but regains it in ''[[NegimaSecondSeason Negima!?]]''.
* WaifFu: She looks rather scrawny, but when she flexes muscles suddenly start bulging everywhere.
* YouNoTakeCandle: She turns into this starting from around Volume 7 of the English manga, possibly to make it clear that she's Chinese rather than Japanese. Prior to that she speaks like a normal schoolgirl.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Starting in Chapter 55, when she is first seen in a non-school outfit. The formal qipao she wore when she got her Pactio also counts, even though it is quite long, but the cut is also quite high so it shows off her legs and socks nicely.

[[folder:Nagase Kaede]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_3639.JPG]]

As a {{Ninja}} of considerable skill, Kaede is generally a wise mentor figure to the group when she's not serving as its [[ActionGirl muscle]]. She is portrayed as more powerful than Negi himself in the early stages of the story despite initially [[{{Muggle}} not knowing about magic at all]] and it is not until a decent length into the story that Negi manages to catch up to and surpass her. Her grades are not that great, but she doesn't appear to be unintelligent. Rather, she apparently spends too much time training.

Kaede fights using her ninja abilities, making her very fast, able to use many powerful shadow clones and having a high degree of strength and skill.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyokoShiraishi (Japanese), Clarine Harp (English)
----
* ActionGirl: Comes naturally with being a ninja. During Mahorafest she was able to match up against Albireo, who should be ''much'' stronger than her, though he was obviously unwilling to use potentially lethal attacks.
* AntiquatedLinguistics: She uses a peculiar style of archaic speech patterns, notably ending her sentences with "de gozaru" or "nari", usually associated with Ninja or Samurai warriors. They are often left untranslated, or in the case of the anime, cut out entirely.
* {{Badass}}: Until around midway through the Magic World arc, she was probably the strongest fighter in the group. During the Mahorafest semifinals she demonstrated the ability to stall Albireo so well that in order to avoid losing by votes in overtime he was forced to pull out his TooAwesomeToUse pactio[[note]]It can only be used for several minutes and then becomes useless forever[[/note]] in order to subdue her non-lethally. [[spoiler:In the Magic World finale she had the best showing of any allied fighter not named Negi or Chachamaru by briefly matching Quintum before going for a non combat victory.]]
* BadassCape: Her artifact, Tengu no Kakuremino, takes the form of a ragged looking cloth worn as a cape.
* BadassInANiceSuit: During the ball she wears a nice suit rather than a dress because she wants to be able to move around easily.
* BigSisterInstinct: Towards Negi and Kotaro. The charts say that her romantic feelings for them are low, but the sisterly/motherly ones are [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale off the scale]]. She also seems to take care of the twins.
* BookDumb: She doesn't seem as dumb as Ku Fei and is a good strategist to boot. She still manages to be one of the five worst students in the class with the most commonly accepted explanation being that the {{Ninja}} training is probably interfering with her studies.
* CatSmile: Especially prominent due to EyesAlwaysShut.
* CoolBigSis: To Negi and Kotaro.
* EyesAlwaysShut: So far she has only been seen with both eyes open about a dozen times; each time signifies [[LetsGetDangerous she means business]].
* FlatCharacter: Tall, protective and wise ninja. Not much more to say about her.
* FuumaShuriken: Her shuriken is at least six feet from tip to tip and provides the Page image. [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Deified, as well]].
* HaremNanny: Her romantic feelings are low, but her motherly feelings are very high. As a result, she's very protective and calm compared to the more emotional girls like Asuna or Ku Fei.
* HeirToTheDojo: Though it's only mentioned in [[AllThereInTheManual her character design notes]].
* IdiotHair: As one of the Baka Rangers, she gets to have an idiot hair. She seems smarter than most of the group though.
* {{Ninja}}: Although she doesn't necessarily [[HighlyVisibleNinja stick out like a sore thumb]].
* {{Sarashi}}: Being a {{Ninja}} and everything, she uses sarashi as a bra.
* ShortHairWithTail: Her hair has a short part in a straight bob and a long part of her hair in a ponytail tied at the nape of her neck that reaches her feet.
* SlipknotPonytail: Chao snatches her hair band to prove a point about the different levels of ability between the two and show Kaede can't hope to beat her.
* StaticCharacter: She's already calm and sure of where she wants to go in life, leaving her as one of the more stable and mellow members of the cast throughout its run.
* StatuesqueStunner: One of the tallest girls in the series with 183cm tall and the second largest bust. [[LampshadeHanging She can't pass for her actual age at all.]]
* TomboyishSidetails: Her sidetails are longer than the short part of her hair.
* TsurimeEyes: 95% of the time, she's EyesAlwaysShut, but when she does open them, they are this shape.
* VaporWear: Just look at that picture. She is probably not wearing underwear.
* WalkingTheEarth: The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue reveals that she has since become a wanderer helping her friends along the way when not training on Earth with Ku Fei.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's afraid of frogs. This is based on a pun that doesn't really translate.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She has greenish brown hair.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: Neither she nor Mana can get their student discount when trying to get into the movies, so she uses a ninja technique to make her look ''much'' younger.

[[folder:Saotome Haruna]]
[[quoteright:289:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_4691.JPG]]

Haruna is the final member of the Library Exploration Club to join Ala Alba after getting involved during Mahorafest, where she JumpedAtTheCall, much to Negi's terror. Unlike the other club members, Haruna seems motivated almost entirely by self amusement and plays tricks on Yue and Nodoka for laughs even while attempting to help them get closer to Negi. Thus, she has little personal involvement in anything Ala Alba does, but she views it as a good way to have fun.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SawaIshige (Japanese) and Creator/JamieMarchi (English)
----
* CaptainObvious: When attacked by Shirabe, she helpfully points out the obvious fact that her violin blows stuff up and that she works for Fate. Lampshaded both times.
* DatePeepers: During Nodoka and Negi's date at the festival, she kept following them around trying to push them into a more "interesting" direction. Why? [[ItAmusedMe Because it's fun!]]
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: Her Suka form in ''Negima!?''.
* GenreSavvy: She has a pretty good idea of how a shounen manga is supposed to work due to her obvious otaku status.
* HairAntennae: She has hair antennae that seem to function as ''actual'' antennae, including the ability to home in on feelings of love.
* InSeriesNickname: "Paru". Doubles as a LuckyTranslation in French, as "paru" can mean "published". Since she's a mangaka…
* ItAmusedMe: She has a tendency to act like a jerk and embarrass people for shits and giggles.
* {{Jerkass}}: It's generally PlayedForLaughs, but Haruna is often selfish, irresponsible, impulsive, rude and thoughtless. Though she does care about Nodoka and Yue at least, her attempts to help them with their love lives seem primarily motivated by amusement. She tags along to the action because it looks fun rather than really caring and [[spoiler:phrases her refusal to withdraw the ship in terms of wanting to make a good name for herself for when she conquers the world.]]
* TheMatchmaker: Started out pushing Nodoka heavily towards Negi, and then when she realized Yue also had a crush on Negi she backed off slightly and said she'd support both. Following this, she's begun pushing as many girls at Negi as possible as well as egging Natsumi on regarding Kotaro.
* MsViceGirl: She's very greedy and selfish.
* PetTheDog: She gets a nice moment at the very climax when [[spoiler:her ship crashes in Mahora and she's extremely happy to see Madoka and gives her a huge hug.]]
* RapunzelHair: The length seems somewhat inconsistent. Sometimes it's to slightly above her waist and sometimes it trails a few inches below.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Whenever an idea pops into her head, her glasses reveal her true nature.
* SecretChaser: She is rather fixated on finding out who, if anyone, Negi likes. Creepily, actually.
* SequentialArtist: [[MagicalGirl Mahou Shojo]] [[ShowWithinAShow Biblion]] {{doujin}}s.
* ShipperOnDeck: Begins with Negi/Nodoka, though she stops pushing the two together when she becomes aware of Yue's crush and opts to support both. Later, she becomes a Konoka/Setsuna ''and'' Kotaro/Natsumi fan.
* TokenEvilTeammate: She seems completely uninterested in the actual goals of the group or helping people. She's also quite fond of making people look stupid and her long term goals include taking over the Magic World. She's friends with Yue and Nodoka, which is basically the whole reason she's in the group: They failed to keep the secret from her and she forced her way in.
* YaoiFangirl: She dragged Negi to the ''[[{{Doujinshi}} Comiket]]'' and showed him yaoi doujins of what appears to be ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei.''

[[folder:Asakura Kazumi]]
[[quoteright:292:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_3548.JPG]]

Asakura is the local SchoolNewspaperNewshound and an aspiring IntrepidReporter. She discovered Negi's secret early on and loosely followed the events [[WildCard with no real affiliation]] apart from pursuit of interesting stories until integrating more fully into the group around the end of Mahorafest. She is Sayo's best friend and the two formed a partnership of sorts due to Sayo being almost completely undetectable, making her a great spy.

She tagged along to the Magic World without having formed a pactio with Negi.

->'''Voiced by:''' Ayana Sasagawa (Japanese) and Creator/MonicaRial (English)
----
* AnimeHair: Uhm, nice pineappe-shaped cut.
* BigBreastPride: She's pretty proud of her bust and is offended when Negi notices that developed as she is she's still no Shizuna.
* CameraFiend: Her class panics when being attacked by a ghost? She pulls out her camera immediately.
* CombatCommentator: She plays the referee during Mahorafest, though most of the more detailed. commentary is done by someone else.
* {{Expy}}: To [[Manga/LoveHina Kitsune Konno]], with the nosy, busybody traits turned UpToEleven.
* TheGadfly: Shows signs of this when she starts to boast about her supposed FirstKiss with Negi.
* HotScoop: Always out for the latest scoop and never short of bare skin to show.
* IntrepidReporter: Her interest in revealing Negi as a mage is what kicks off her involvement in the plot.
* PetTheDog: Often rather amoral, but there are lines she won't cross, even for a big scoop. In the manga, she immediately switches to Negi's side when she learns her current actions are going to get him turned into an ermine while in the anime she refuses to post a story about Sayo because the pictures she took were of a miserable crying girl
* SchoolNewspaperNewshound: She dreams of the big scoop that will really make a mark and her investigative abilities appear to be top notch.
* UnfazedEveryman: Asakura seems to occupy a special niche somewhere between Chisame and Haruna. On the one hand, you have Chisame who absolutely freaks about magic while on the other hand you have Haruna who is jumping for joy when she hears about it. Asakura? She feels like she could probably write a good story about it or something, but isn't really that interested in getting too involved and never begins learning magic like the likes of Yue or even Makie.
* WildCard: Her pursuit of the truth and rather carefree moral compass can result in her switching sides easily, though she definitely has everyone's best interests at heart.

[[folder:Aisaka Sayo]]
[[quoteright:290:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s_gold_pactio_card_8249.JPG]]

Sayo is class 3A's resident ghost and a little too [[CuteGhostGirl cute]] and inept to be considered scary, despite her occasional efforts. Apart from being impossibly clumsy, she's also extremely difficult to detect. Upon being slightly noticed by Negi during a class vote, she attempted to make her presence known and after some mishaps more characters were able to see her fully and she became Asakura's best friend and assistant. She eventually gains a small doll that she can possess and joins Ala Alba as their [[StealthPun ghost member.]] She appears to have a bit of a crush on Negi, but this was never developed since post introduction they only spoke once or twice.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuriShiratori (Japanese) and Kate Bristol (English)
----
* CuteClumsyGirl: Tripping on flat pavement when you don't even have feet? That's pretty bad. Carries over to the little doll effigy as well.
* CuteGhostGirl: She's too incompetent to be scary, though she tries. Most of the class thinks she's too cute.
* FogFeet: Since she's a scary ghost, she gets scary ghost feet. And manages to trip over said nonexistent feet.
* FriendlyGhost: She's a ghost, but she's too nice and cute to be scary, and the only thing she wants is a friend.
* FunSize: She gets a tiny, cutesy doll body to inhabit right before going to the Magic World.
* GhostAmnesia: She remembers very little of her life, her death or any goals she might have that might be the reason she's hanging around. The first anime gave one version of her death, though.
* GhostLights: She tends to have little floaty lights around whenever she's being particularly ghostly.
* GhostlyChill: Nobody takes her seat because it's always so cold.
* HeadPet: When she's possessing a small doll, she sometimes sits on people's heads, usually Asakura's.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Having been friendless and lonely for around 60 years, Sayo is very desperate for a friend. Unfortunately, her attempts of making friends are horribly misunderstood at first.
* JacobMarleyApparel: Wears a SailorFuku, probably the school uniform when she died back in 1940.
* {{Joshikousei}}: She [[JacobMarleyApparel wears an obsolete uniform]].
* LockedIntoStrangeness: When she was alive, she had black hair. As a ghost, it reversed to white.
* MissingMom: In the anime, it's shown that her mom died in war sixty years ago.
* MobileSuitHuman: She gets around in a tiny, vaguely humanoid doll which apparently makes her act energetic and ditzy. [[spoiler:Haruna creates a robot body for her with her artifact. Her doll body drives it from inside.]]
* MysticalWhiteHair: It indicates that she's not human.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: She just wants to make friends, but all her attempts to communicate with people are interpreted all wrong.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: She has been tied to her seat for more than sixty years due to reasons still undisclosed, can't leave the school grounds until Asakura got a special doll for her to possess and is absolutely terrible at being a ghost.
* RapunzelHair: She has waist length hair.
* ReluctantMonster: She occasionally makes halfhearted attempts to scare people, but it's obvious she'd much rather be making friends. Reminders that she's a ghost tend to be depressing.
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: She is mistaken for one after Asakura takes a [[SpookyPhotographs Scary Photograph]] of her. It gets to the point that they even call in two professional exorcists to take care of the problem before they finally figure out that she doesn't want to hurt anyone.
* SuperDeformed: She spends some time with Chachamaru and Negi in a chibi doll of herself.
* VerbalTic: Says ''desuuu'' in a spooky ghost voice. [[DontExplainTheJoke Because she's a spooky ghost]].
* VisibleInvisibility: For 19 episodes of ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'', she's invisible to everyone but the audience.

[[folder:Albert Chamomile]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00228869_4173.jpg]]

Chamo is a crafty, lecherous, [[TalkingAnimal talking ermine]] and something between a familiar and a mentor to Negi. He provides comic relief, devises battle plans, forms the pactio circles and enjoys teasing the girls about their feelings for Negi, which he is apparently able to uncover via some form of weird magic. Despite mages being turned into ermines for breaking the masquerade, there is no indication that Chamo is such a case. Rather, he appears to be some sort of fairy.

->'''Voiced by:''' Masashi Yabe (Japanese) and Chris Cason (English)
----
* ButtMonkey: Whenever he says something perverse, he gets beaten up. In the first anime series, he also gets smacked in the face with a flashlight that was still on, leaving a red mark over his face for the rest of the episode.
* DatePeepers: He has great interest in following everyone around on their possible dates and making lewd comments on them.
* DirtyOldMan: Being a short-lived ermine, Chamo is an old man despite being ''younger'' than Negi. Both he and author's notes refer to him as a dirty old man several times.
* {{Familiar}}: He moves into the story attempting to get Negi to accept him as an official familiar in order to evade responsibility for some crimes he committed involving underwear theft. Negi, being quite gullible, swallows his sob story whole.
* FunnyAnimal: An ermine who talks, smokes and is perverted.
* HeadPet: He often hangs out on people's shoulders and even sits on Sayo's head once, who acts like a HeadPet herself.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure, he's a DirtyOldMan in ermine form, and constantly tries to manipulate people for his own gain... but he never puts his own goals above the safety of the rest of group, tries to make sure everybody else benefits along with him, and generally tries to make himself as useful as possible, even when an ermine generally wouldn't be able to do anything.
* LovableSexManiac: He sneaks into a swimming pool with the 3-A girls and pulling their bathing suits off and steals underwear. The former is actually his debut.
* TheMatchmaker: ''Loves'' to tell Negi to make more and more Pactios with the girls because he scores a bunch of money every time he does.
* MeaningfulName: かもがねぎをしょってくる (''kamo'' ga ''negi'' o shotte kuru), which literally translates into "a duck comes bearing green onions", an idiom referring to something being too good to be true.
* MentorMascot: While he's usually just Negi's perverted {{familiar}}, he does a bit of mentoring about a particular aspect of the local magic system, but mostly so he can collect a hefty paycheck from somewhere or other every time Negi gets a partner.
* TheNicknamer: Chamo has a nickname for ''everyone''. It's rare for him to call people by their actual names. It's much more common for him to give them names like Yuecchi or use terms like aniki, anego and nee san.
* NonHumanSidekick: Small, white ermine that looks to Negi as his big brother and helps him form pactios.
* OlderSidekick: Unclear. He acts like a DirtyOldMan, but as an ermine it's unlikely that he's as old as Negi. On the other hand, he's an ermine ''fairy.''
* PantyThief: So much that [[spoiler:his share of the Rainyday twins' LotusEaterMachine]] has him pretty much ''swimming'' in underwear.
* PunnyName: Chamo's name combined with Negi's refers to a Japanese legend about a duck carrying a leek that offers itself as a meal to lost and starving travelers, which has come to mean something too good to be true (you've got dinner with it's own seasoning), or to con-men, a sucker.
* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: He's quite eager to get Negi as much tail as possible. He also likes to comment on all the FetishFuel and {{Fanservice}} that tends to go on around them.
* WeaselMascot: With DirtyOldMan tendencies to boot!

[[folder:Anna "Anya" Yurievna Cocolova]]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anya.jpg]]

Anya is Negi's childhood friend and a fellow graduate from [[WizardingSchool Merdiana Magic Academy]]. Since she's known Negi longer than any of his students, he doesn't use {{Keigo}} when speaking to her. She's [[FieryRedhead extremely emotional]], [[{{Tsundere}} especially when it comes to Negi]] and is convinced that he is being led astray by all the pretty girls and their boobs. Though she shows up after Mahorafest intending to show him how much she has improved, she's stunned to see that he's way, way out of her league at this point. Further annoying her is the number of pactios he has at this point, which pisses her off until he manages to calm her down and invite her to the group officially.

She specializes in fire magic, of course, though her performance is less than stellar considering that the first time she tries to attack Negi she also sets her own clothing and hair on fire.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RyoHirohashi (Japanese, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!''), Creator/ChiwaSaito (Japanese, ''Negima?!'' onwards), Kate Bristol (English, ''Mahou Sensei Negima!'') and Creator/BrittneyKarbowski (English, ''Negima!?'')
----
* ACupAngst: Seems particularly obsessed with her breast size relative to the older girls of the Ala Alba. At one point she states outright "those with big breasts are my enemies, those with small breasts are my allies". No wonder she made quick friends with Yue and Nodoka.
* AgeAppropriateAngst: Unlike the rest of the cast, she just has some body image issues that she'll grow out of and worrys that the boy she totally doesn't like or anything doesn't pay enough attention to her.
* AscendedExtra: Anya has a ''much'' bigger role in ''Negima!?'', and an even bigger one in the ''Negima!? Neo'' manga partially based on the former, where she becomes ''the'' 32nd member of Class 3-A come Chapter 15, and is all set up to take ninja lessons from Kaede and actually become useful in combat. [[ThrowTheDogABone Akamatsu must've felt bad for her.]]
* BrattyHalfPint: She comes across as violent, bossy and very bratty.
* ClingyJealousGirl: She doesn't like seeing Negi with other girls.
* ElementalHair: She uses fire magic and her hair is red.
* FieryRedhead: She's hot headed and what little offensive magic she does know is all fire based.
* FortuneTeller: Her assignment in London as a final mage test, akin to Negi's assignment as a teacher in Japan.
* GirlishPigtails: As part of her stereotypical {{Tsundere}} appearance.
* PlayingWithFire: She specializes in fire magic.
* RapunzelHair: Down to her waist.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Her standard attire before the Magical World trip.
* ShanaClone: She is a small {{Tsundere}} with RapunzelHair and a literal FieryRedhead to boot.
* TinyTyrannicalGirl: She's tiny, bossy and prone to comedic violence.
* TransliterationTrouble: Her surname. Until we got an official spelling, nobody knew how to spell it correctly.
* {{Tsundere}}: She's a definite aggressive 'hit first, ask questions ''never'' unless you have to' type.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade S, combined with a {{Meido}} outfit to complement her [[GirlishPigtails pigtails]] and [[{{Tsundere}} attitude]].
