History Characters / ReignOfTheSevenSpellbladesKimberlyStudents

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: She's briefly introduced in the pilot episode of the anime, covertly introducing herself to Oliver outside the boys' dorm before his encounter with Nanao at the fountain, then having a couple more covert meetings with Oliver in episodes 2 and 5. In the original novel she didn't show up until the epilogue of that volume (corresponding to episode 6, where we get to see her face finally).

* NotSoStoic: She puts up a facade of a loyal retainer to her "lord", but Oliver's natural kindness has a way of penetrating her facade: she's so embarrassed the first time Oliver tells her he values her that she runs and hides.

* BigBrotherWorship: She idolizes Oliver from the beginning, though it starts as devotion of a retainer to her lord and mutates into the devotion of a baby sister to a big brother.

* HopelessSuitor: She falls ''hard'' for Oliver by the midpoint of the series, but, to her frustration, he sees her more like a baby sister rather than a possible love interest.

* TheBusCameBack: He disappears from the story for several books after declining to join the first-years' battle royale in volume 2. He comes back in volume 7 as part of a RivalsTeamUp scenario with Joseph Albright and Tullio Rossi, hoping for a rematch with the Sword Roses.

* DoppelgangerAttack: His specialty is crafting duplicate "splinters" of himself out of shadows, which all appear identical to himself but have no substance to them.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:She withdraws from the combat leagues after losing to Team Horn and having a mental health crisis. She returns in volume 12 having recovered somewhat, joining the list of antagonistic students defeated by Oliver and Nanao who have since become the Sword Roses' friends.

* TheBusCameBack: She's initially only present for the first chapter of volume 9, and [[spoiler:withdraws from the combat leagues after losing to Team Horn and having a mental health crisis]]. She returns in volume 13.

* CustomUniform: He turned his student uniform into something resembling a stage magician's outfit: the outer robe is replaced with a short sport coat and diagonal cape, with a purple vest underneath, and his trousers have diamond-shaped patches down the hems.

* TheBusCameBack: He disappears from the story after volume 3, but returns for the TournamentArc in volume 7 to team up with Richard Andrews and Tullio Rossi.

Starting in volume 4, when the Sword Roses become second-years, a number of recurring underclassmen are introduced.

A shy girl who enters the combat leagues with two of her friends.

Ames is a [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent reader-submitted character]] (created by Kirigirisu), one of the two contest winners to the "Kimberly Magic Academy Student Enrollment Campaign" held to celebrate the series getting the top spot in the 2020 ''Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!'' guidebook.

* AmazonBrigade: She leads a team with two other girls.
* BlueBlood: She's from one of the old mage families, though her line hasn't produced any mages of particular note.
* EnemyMine: She forms an alliance with Rosé Mistral and Jürgen Liebert to gang up on the top-ranked Team Horn and eliminate them first, before attacking each other. That plan fails because Oliver, Nanao, and Yuri are simply too good.
* GracefulLoser: She's shown cheering Oliver on from the stands during Team Horn's match against Ursule Valois in volume 9.
* HidingBehindYourBangs: Her eyes are completely hidden by her long bangs. She's naturally shy due to low self-esteem, but is a surprisingly good fighter.
* MasterOfIllusion: The "Ames Spellblade" turns out to be fakery: she uses spatial magic to distort an opponent's eyesight so that a following strike is harder to block--but ''not'' impossible, meaning it is not a true spellblade. Oliver and Yuri both work out the trick after crossing swords with her, though [[SkilledButNaive Yuri is so impressed he forgets to actually dodge it]].
* MostWritersAreWriters: According to the blurb about her in the afterword of volume 7, she's a bookworm with a taste for heroic legends and {{Shojo}} manga.
* SlashedThroat: {{Downplayed}}: Oliver brings her down with a cut to the throat, but it's just a superficial wound due to the dulling spell, which the magical chokers they're all wearing around their necks turns into a TKO to simulate an incapacitating wound.
* WorthyOpponent: She's a good sport and has a lot of respect for Oliver, calling it "Magnificent" when he defeats her false spellblade. He in turn says he can be proud of defeating her.

->'''First Appearance:''' LN Volume 9

The leader of one of the finalist teams in the school combat leagues, and a Koutz purist.

* PestController: He has an affinity for bees, which is first demonstrated with the swarm of stinger bees he summons in volume 2 during his SoreLoser routine against the Sword Roses. In volume 7, he's shown normal-sized bees as {{familiar}}s to scout for him during his team's elimination round match against Teams Aalto, Carste, and Bowles.

* BreakTheHaughty: When introduced, he arrogantly believes himself to be the strongest of the first-years and therefore they're all "nobodies" beneath his notice. [[spoiler:He first gets beaten in a fair duel by Oliver, then knocked down for the count by Nanao when he tries to play SoreLoser by unleashing stinger bees on them. Then he gets kidnapped and raped by Ophelia Salvadori in her madness and has to be rescued by Pete, a MuggleBornOfMages and therefore the weakest of the Sword Roses at the time.]] You almost feel sorry for him by the end of volume 3, and he's noticeably less of a {{Jerkass}} in subsequent appearances.

* CatchphraseInsult: Routinely calls people he thinks he's better than "nobody", particularly people without a well-known family. This unexpectedly pushes Oliver's RelativeButton [[spoiler:since he's been hiding the identity of his [[FamedInStory very well-known late mother]] the whole time he's been at Kimberly]], motivating him to teach Albright a lesson in humility. After Oliver beats him, he uses it in an InsultOfEndearment by telling him that he forgets people's names easily, so Oliver had better keep improving.

* {{Ojou}}: Even moreso than Chela and Stacy: she's a girl from an aristocratic family, and unlike them, acts the part of a RoyalBrat. She even has a small cadre of students that act like her servants.
