History Characters / Rewrite

* FlowerInHerHair: Pani has a white flower on the top of her head.

* FlowerInHerHair: She wears two flower hair clips on both sides of her head, fitting her expert gardener status and [[spoiler:that she is a Druid]].

* SecondYearProtagonist: He's a second year high school student.

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:In Shizuru's route she launches herself as a projectile at Kagari, smiling as she does so. It doesn't work.]]

* DecoyProtagonist: She is the face character of the game, but her role is pretty small in the big picture. She's having more to do with the past than present. Of course, she still has her own route but pretty much disappears in every other routes but Moon and Terra. And everyone knows Kagari is the true heroine.]

* TokenMiniMoe: Kotarou thinks she could pass for a sixth grader with the right clothes. She's very short and young looking and is mildly irritated over it.

Kotarou's childhood friend, and an expert gardener. She has a habit of taking naps out in the forest. She's able to play along with Kotarou's attitude and jokes rather effectively, but is oddly resistant to any insinuations that she and Kotarou are an item and if he jokes too much about it he risks her withdrawing.

* BrattyHalfPint: Kotori was kind of a jerk as a little kid, although she's more in lines of a NiceGirl now.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance

* CoolPet: Chibi-Moth, [[spoiler:a pygmy mammoth familiar.]]

* DecoyProtagonist: She is the face character of the game but [[spoiler: her role is pretty small in the big picture. She's having more to do with the past than present. Of course, she still has her own route but pretty much disappears in every other routes but Moon and Terra. And everyone knows Kagari is the true heroine.]]

* FlowerInHerHair: Two of them, fitting her expert gardener status and [[spoiler:that she is a Druid]].

* IdiotHair: She has one hair perpetually standing up and constantly acts like a complete dork.[[She is secretly a genius though]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Kotori rejected Kotarou’s rejection before because she knew she probably couldn’t have a normal life. And also because she’s not sure if he loves her because he genuinely cares about her or if he might be a familiar programmed into loving her. Either way, she feels it can’t work. In the route that follows this, she realizes it wasn't because he was a familiar, but now it's too late. It's implied that helps tie Kotarou to Shizuru instead of her herself after this.]]

* {{Sleepyhead}}: Kotori spends most of her time in class sleeping. [[spoiler:She’s working herself to death trying to protect the Key from either Gaia or Guardian getting her and has been doing herself for ten years. Small wonder she spends a lot of time sleeping.]]
* SmarterThanYouLook: She spends most of her time in class sleeping unless she's hanging out with Kotarou. However, she's actually very intelligent and perceptive and just likes goofing around in her spare time. For her, that means during class and eventually during the occult club. [[spoiler: When she was a kid she was a bit of an InsufferableGenius due to having been bullied, however, but mellowed out as she got older and gained more responsibilities]].

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Has blonde hair, and is one of the nicest characters in the series.

* MarkOfTheSupernatural: [[spoiler:Her eye is golden because she regrew it improperly after it was destroyed by debris. This was one of the first really noticeable uses of her superhuman power to heal.]]

* NonverbalMiscommunication: Played with. Kotarou likes attaching random meanings to Shizuru’s expressions when she’s being quiet and in truth even he thinks they’re complete nonsense, but it turns out he’s actually frequently right.

* ReiAyanamiExpy: Silver hair with pale skin? Check. Mysterious and unsettling emotionless demeanor? Check. Inhuman entity with great power? Check. Shows more emotions thanks to the main character? Check.

->Voiced by Naomi Wakabayashi

!!!Voiced by Hikaru Yukari

* JerkassWoobie: Each has a horrifically violent past.

* BigEater: The amount Gil eats isn’t that large until you consider his body size. That much food shouldn’t fit inside him. Even he doesn’t understand it.
* ButtMonkey: Gil tends to take a lot of abuse because of his arrogance.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Gil.

* NoBiologicalSex: According to Pani, she and Gil have no sexual organs and can’t reproduce.
* OjouRinglets: It's not really possible for Pani to be actual royalty or anything, but she looks, acts and dresses the part.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Pani and Gil are not invited into Moon route and Kotarou says he would feel ridiculous if he asked them for help. They probably don't exist yet in Terra either. A reader who knows much about who wrote each scenario might notice that they only appear in routes written by one of the three authors.
* SuperDeformed: They're very chibified in appearance. They have tiny bodies and massive heads with gigantic eyes.

* HairDecorations: Chihaya has wings in her hair.

* HairDecorations: She wears a cross-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: When she was a lot younger, she left her golden eye uncovered and got bullied for it. Since then she keeps it covered.

When she was a kid she was a bit of an InsufferableGenius, however, but mellowed out as she got older and gained more responsibilities.

* UncannyValleyGirl: The Key in Kotori and Shizuru’s route is highly alien and doesn’t really feel like a human. [[spoiler:In Kotori’s route it can barely speak or do anything that Kotarou is capable of interpreting easily. In Shizuru’s it’s more talkative, but still incapable of interacting with him in a way he can appreciate.]]

!!Kagari
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Kagari_212.jpg]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/KanaHanazawa

She is the Key that Gaia and Guardian are seeking - a kind of familiar produced by the Earth.

* ACupAngst: [[OutOfCharacterMoment In the Oppai Ending]], she reveals that she has chest size issues.
* ApocalypseMaiden: The Key is here to observe mankind and see if they the world should be [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt saved.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: In the Oppai Ending, she laments how few lines she has compared to the other heroines.
* CuteMute: In several routes, she's barely capable of speech. She's capable of learning to speak any human language very quickly, but is frequently kept from learning anything since being in the outside world puts her in danger of being discovered.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She starts showing more emotions when she interacts more with Kotarou.
* ElegantGothicLolita: She wears a black gothic lolita style dress.
* EmotionlessGirl: During most routes she is very inexpressive and inhuman, so she kind of creeps Kotarou out on the few occasions he sees her.
* EmptyEyes: In contrast to everyone else’s bright eyes, the Key’s eyes are always flat and non-reflective.
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:She doesn't want to cause Salvation, but it's not something she can control. She's trying to find a perfect solution that allows humanity to survive but can't find one.]]
* GoodIsNotNice: [[spoiler:Despite trying to save humanity, Kagari is kind of an impatient jerk. She can also be pretty callous.]]
* HairDecorations: She wears a cross-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: She has long red ribbons attached to her wrists that act upon her will.
* InvisibleToNormals: The Key cannot be seen by most people. It’s not that she’s invisible, but people just sort of overlook her. She places a lot of faith in this ability [[spoiler:which is generally how she gets found: She doesn't take proper precautions to hide normally and just assumes that if no one can see her it's okay to leave plenty of evidence about where she is.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: She's born as a basically BlankSlate that is here to judge humanity and see if they can coexist properly with the Earth and at the beginning has no real intellect or emotion. After developing intellect, she still has nothing like human emotion or empathy. In some routes, she has no real humanity or emotion. In Terra [[spoiler:he learns that she really does want to save humanity, but she's brutally pragmatic and wishes to kill Akane even though she's not even capable of speech or telling anyone that she saw Kagari.]] Kotarou is appalled [[spoiler:though he agrees that she might be right.]]
* MacGuffinSuperPerson: She is the Key that two secret societies, Guardian and Gaia, are fighting to secure.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Her idea of problem solving in Moon seems to always involve 'kill the annoyance' and in Terra [[spoiler:she always urges Kotarou to hurry up and massacre Gaia and Guardian or to take over the world.]]
* MysticalWaif: She looks like a little girl and wanders around investigating the planet and humanity, but is in fact the Key that can trigger the apocalypse.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Her white hair isn't commented upon, but she's a clearly inhuman entity with great power and ability.
* OnlyOneName: She's only known as the Key or Kagari and the latter isn't quite her name either. She gets a last name in Harvest Festa, though.
* PerceptionFilter: Only a few humans can actually see her. Familiars are better at it, though. Everyone else just sort of tunes her out.
* PurpleEyes: She has deep lavender-coloured eyes, another sign of her inhuman nature.
* ReiAyanamiExpy: Silver hair with pale skin? Check. Mysterious and unsettling emotionless demeanor? Check. Inhuman entity with great power? Check. Shows more emotions thanks to the main character? Check.
* StarfishLanguage: In Moon route, she speaks in a highly advanced way that it appear as "■ ■ ■ ■ ■". Kotarou's head hurts just from hearing it. Kagari is also not really her name but implied to be a description of what she is, but she cannot state that any more clearly than the word 'Kagari.'
* ThirdPersonPerson: She uses the third person in Terra, the first route where she really begins to speak. It's not quite cute so much as viewing herself as something that fulfills a role rather than an individual.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The first way Kotarou manages to get through to her in Moon is by sharing coffee with her. After her initial disinterest, she seems to grow pretty fond of it.
* UncannyValleyGirl: The Key in Kotori and Shizuru’s route is highly alien and doesn’t really feel like a human. [[spoiler:In Kotori’s route it can barely speak or do anything that Kotarou is capable of interpreting easily. In Shizuru’s it’s more talkative, but still incapable of interacting with him in a way he can appreciate.]]

!!Shizuru Nakatsu
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Shizuru_Nakatsu_2593.jpg]]
-> Voiced by: Keiko Suzuki

A first-year student and acquaintance of Kotarou. As a self-proclaimed "moral guard", she carries around a whistle to call out students on rules violations. While she is very serious and normally quiet, she also enjoys playing along with Kotarou's pranks. In fact, due to a rather obvious crush, she generally supports Kotarou in whatever he does. She wears an eyepatch, but at the start of the story Kotarou doesn't know why.

* ACupAngst: Shizuru has a mild dissatisfaction about being so short and flat. Kotarou thinks she could pass for a sixth grader. Not that he'd say that.
* ActionGirl: Shizuru is a front line fighter.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: When she was a lot younger, she left her golden eye uncovered and got bullied for it. Since then she keeps it covered.
* BadassAdorable: Shizuru is probably the strongest character in the main cast at the start of the story. Kotarou can make himself tougher than her, though he normally doesn't, and under certain conditions Lucia can beat her.
* CatSmile: Frequently, usually whenever enjoying her [[TrademarkFavoriteFood saury]].
* CombatMedic: [[spoiler:Her main ability can create different kinds of medicine; she is also one of the strongest fighters of the group.]]
* ComicallySerious: She plays along with Kotarou's jokes as much as Kotori, but unlike her she always looks completely serious.
* CuteMute: She's generally very quiet, leaving Kotarou to interpret the facial expressions she makes for a large amount of their conversations. [[spoiler:She later loses her voice when she formed a contract with Kotarou. Everyone believed [[TheQuietOne she was just acting normally]] and thought it was adorable.]]
* DodgeTheBullet: [[spoiler:She can drug herself into moving and reacting so quickly that a hallway filled with bullets is a cakewalk to move through unscathed.]]
* ExtremeOmnivore: One of the lighter examples. She'll eat plants she finds in the forest or insects that she runs across. Well, only probably for the latter because Kotarou dares not turn around to confirm it. [[spoiler:The things she was eating were perfectly safe to eat, but even if they weren't Shizuru is immune to poison and disease.]]
* EyeScream: Subverted. Beneath the bandage is a perfectly functional eye, it just happens to be a different color and attracts unwanted attention. [[spoiler:But when she was young? Yeah. Took some debris to the face but since she has a healing factor it wasn't a big deal.]]
* FreakinessShame: Shizuru wears an eyepatch not because her eye is damaged, but because she has heterochromia. Kotarou tells her that her golden eye is pretty.
* GamerChick: Downplayed. She doesn't play often anymore, but due to playing a lot as a child, she is easily able to defeat Kotarou in fighting games.
* GirlishPigtails: Kotarou seems to identify her by her hair a lot of the time. He considers the twintails to be a rare spawn monster at one point.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Has blonde hair, and is one of the nicest characters in the series.
* HealingFactor: [[spoiler:Shizuru produces medicines and drugs in her body and can heal herself quite quickly. She can also heal others.]]
* HealingHands: [[spoiler:She can heal people directly as well as produce medicine inside her body.]]
* HumbleHero: Despite earning a lot of money working as a Guardian, she refuses to spend the money on luxuries and instead live in a simplistic tiny house. [[spoiler: Apparently, she's saving up money to buy her parents a dream home once they finally remember her.]]
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Threatens Brenda with this.
* KnifeNut: In combat, she dual-wields knives.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Shizuru has the power to control memories to an extent.]]
* LiteralMinded: Shizuru gets some rather odd imagine spots at times due to not getting a lot of metaphorical speech.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: [[spoiler:Her eye is golden because she regrew it improperly after it was destroyed by debris. This was one of the first really noticeable uses of her superhuman power to heal.]]
* NiceGirl: She's kind, polite, and adorable personality, as evident with her interactions with Kotarou.
* NonverbalMiscommunication: Played with. Kotarou likes attaching random meanings to Shizuru’s expressions when she’s being quiet and in truth even he thinks they’re complete nonsense, but it turns out he’s actually frequently right.
* PowerIncontinence: When she was little, her control over her ability was not as refined and she accidentally [[spoiler:wiped herself from the memory of her parents.]]
* PuppyDogEyes: Shizuru is quite the master of beseeching looks.
* TheQuietOne: Shizuru isn’t silent, but a large amount of her communication is just Kotarou reading her expressions.
* ReadingLips: She knows how to read lips [[spoiler:which helped when she lost her hearing.]]
* SecretlyWealthy: Shizuru would be a millionaire if you converted yen to dollars, but lives in a tiny, empty building and eats extremely cheap food. [[spoiler: Apparently, she is saving up money to buy her parents their dream home after accidentally wiping out their memories, showing that she still cares about her parents.]]
* {{Sleepyhead}}: She tends to sleep in very late if she can and can often be found dozing in the courtyard at school when she has the time. It's indicated that this may be partially a result of her abilities.
* TokenMiniMoe: Kotarou thinks she could pass for a sixth grader with the right clothes. She's very short and young looking and is mildly irritated over it.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Saury. It reminds her of her family, though she always liked it.

!!Lucia Konohana
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lucia_Konohana_8688.jpg]]
-> Voiced by: Risa Asaki

The ClassRepresentative of Kotarou's class. Kotarou seems to think of her as the stock uptight ClassRepresentative character. She's one of the more stereotypically violent tsunderes. In combination with her perceived neat freak attitude such as always wearing gloves she doesn't really have any friends apart from Shizuru. She has a reputation for a high tolerance to spicy foods.

* ActionGirl: She has rather high physical strength and doesn't hesitate to use it.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: [[spoiler:Lucia’s abilities are making concentrated death and destroying things. She’s a little heavy on the tsuntsun but otherwise a perfectly kind person.]]
* BigBadFriend: Lucia keeps trying to get Kotarou to drop the Asahi Haruka investigation because [[spoiler:she is Asahi Haruka. She hasn't done anything wrong, though.]]
* BlankWhiteEyes: Lucia gains blank white eyes on occasion whenever Kotarou does something particularly surprising.
* CerebusRetcon: Lucia's tolerance for spicy food is played for laughs. [[spoiler:In her route, you learn that she's actually incapable of tasting spicy food ''because of the drugs she is taking to suppress the deadly poison in her body.'']]
* ClassRepresentative: Kotarou thinks of her as the classic uptight class rep that's obsessed with order and is convinced every school probably has their own Lucia in charge of a class.
* CollateralAngst: Rather than dwell on [[spoiler:the people accidentally killed]] Lucia gets the lions share of the sympathy points in that story [[spoiler:while Kishida Ryuugo and the nurse]] are largely forgotten. Later, [[spoiler:Lucia intentionally kills two hundred thousand people]] and again the story focuses on her depression.
* CordonBleughChef: She ''can'' cook, but when Kotori offers to swap items from their lunches Lucia declines because her meal was made more to look good than to taste good. Coupled with her extreme tolerance for spice it's questionable whether it was truly edible for anyone but her. [[spoiler:She has no sense of taste. She just has excellent control over how she perceives the world and if food looks good she can stimulate her brain into remembering how things tasted back when she did have a sense of taste. Thus, what she considers good food and what others consider good might very well not overlap in the slightest.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Subverted. Lucia pretends that Haruka is speaking through her mouth, but it’s pretty obvious that the two are the same person. It’s confirmed not much later.]]
* DontYouDarePityMe: She doesn't want Kotarou to stay with her just because he pities [[spoiler:her cursed touch. She wants Kotarou to actually love her.]]
* FriendlessBackground: When she was young she never had any friends. She still only has one friend at the start of the story, Shizuru.
* FullNameUltimatum: Whenever she puts distance between herself and someone else she ends up referring to them by their full name, especially '''TENNOUJI KOTAROU!!'''
* HairIntakes: Her hairdo has two of what look like cat ears.
* HairTriggerTemper: A lot of her tsuntsun behavior is actually more a result of her being really easily angered rather than her necessarily covering up embarrassment or affection.
* HealingFactor: Not most of the time, but [[spoiler:in an area filled with the poison she makes she possesses a healing factor even stronger than Shizuru's.]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Despite the fact that a sword really isn't the most efficient of weapons, it's the weapon she favors. [[spoiler:She can't use guns, after all. Also, with her vibration powers her attacks are much more effective.]]
* MegatonPunch: Lucia is fond of decking Kotarou when he does something that at least looks perverted. She eventually promises to stop mid route.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: She's not Shizuru's sister, but because of her overprotectiveness the rest of the club starts thinking of her as Shizuru's sister in law when Shizuru and Kotarou start getting closer.
* NeatFreak: She has a reputation as a neat freak thanks to the white gloves she always wears. It causes her some social problems because when she has to touch living things she begins calling everything filthy and absolutely refuses to do so. [[spoiler:She actually considers ''herself'' filthy: Touching a cat even through the gloves could be putting it in danger if it touches her wrist or anything.]]
* OnlyFriend: Shizuru is Lucia’s only close friend. [[spoiler:Only she can resist the toxins that Lucia continuously creates.]]
* OutDamnedSpot: She has a nightmare where she compulsively washes her hands because they keep oozing poison. When Kotarou sees her without gloves her hands are perfectly normal or even pretty. Still, given her neat freak thing, it's pretty easy to understand [[spoiler:but it is really true. You just can't see the poison.]]
* PoisonIsCorrosive: Anything receiving a sufficiently high level of poison will blacken and crumble within seconds.
* PoisonousPerson: Lucia has nightmares where her touch is so filthy and impure that it causes anything she touches to wither, rot and die. [[spoiler:Thanks to experiments designed to allow Lucia to survive in toxic environments, she herself releases a poison that kills all living beings that touch her. She can control it somewhat, but not turn it off entirely. And that’s with suppressants.]]
* PowerIncontinence: She tends to break complex things around her thanks to her [[spoiler:vibration ability. She also breaks people, animals, plants and bacteria since she's a poison factory.]]
* PsychicPowers: [[spoiler:Apart from her poisonous touch,]] Lucia has mild telekinetic abilities, though they're not very useful.
* SensoryOverload: An inadvertent example. [[spoiler:After she stops taking the suppressants that dull all her senses]] she perceives the world much more strongly than usual, causing her to feel overloaded, drained and slightly feverish. It cuts into her date with Kotarou [[spoiler:but not as much as when she poisons the town moments later, killing every leaving organism inside that lacks protection. It's implied that her holding in her poison may have been what was really responsible, making it a possible invocation and subversion.]]
* SuperHeroOrigin: Lucia doesn't seem to be a normal super power user like Shizuru or Kotarou. Rather, [[spoiler:her poisonous person abilities and vibration power are the result of an experiment performed on a large amount of orphans. She was the only survivor.]]
* SuperpowerMeltdown: [[spoiler:Lucia’s suppressants stop working in every route, after which she has to live inside bunkers until a new one can be developed. In her own route, her body is fiddled with so that she makes even more poison after this. This already makes her unsafe to be around for anyone but Kotarou or a few special individuals, but then she’s manipulated into setting them off. The entire town of Kazamatsuri is killed. Plants, animals and people. In theory, even the bacteria are dead.]]
* TouchOfDeath: In a nightmare that she has, things Lucia touches with her hands die. She’s worried that it happens for real, but it’s noted that it was just a string of bad luck that gave her classmates that impression. [[spoiler:Turns out she really does have it and can only really minimize the effects.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Lucia has a reputation for loving spicy food and seems confused when people react with shock to her enjoyment of it. [[spoiler:She has no sense of taste.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Kotori catches on pretty quickly to Lucia's attitude. It's partially intentional since she’s interested in Kotarou but [[spoiler:has only partial control over her abilities]], so she tries to keep him distant from her. Not that it’s entirely a pose, as she quickly makes clear.
* WalkingTechBane: [[spoiler:Lucia destroys anything like complex machinery quickly when she touches it, so for the most part she can’t normally use stuff like that without taking some form of suppressant. She can’t even reliably use a gun.]]
* WalkingWasteland: [[spoiler:As a result of Guardian's experiments, and the reason she wears gloves.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Lucia's hair is dark purple.

!!Touka Nishikujou
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Touka_Nishikujou_8469.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Ryouko Tanaka

Nishikujou is a rather ditzy looking teacher that commands a lot of respect at Kotarou's school, though she's new to the job. She has close ties to Shizuru and Lucia due to her work with the group Guardian.

* ConflictBall: In Chihaya's route she expresses a severe hatred for familiars [[spoiler:so the story can have her pick a fight with Sakuya despite both he and Chihaya retiring from Gaia]]. There is no real reason given and it contrasts her normal rather easy going or at worst strictly professional attitude.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has purple eyes and hair, though you rarely see her eyes.
* CutenessProximity: She can't resist trying to hug Shizuru.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Invoked and averted. Kotarou expected her to drive like a maniac, but the worst she does is sing along badly to music from the 80s.
* ExplosiveOverclocking: [[spoiler:When Nishikujou starts going all out with her ability, it begins tearing up her body.]]
* EyesAlwaysShut: She tends to keep her eyes shut because they're rather sharp and scary looking. Since being a teacher is her dream job, she finds this pretty disheartening.
--> '''Kotarou:''' Sensei, you're scary with your eyes open...
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:She was Kotarou's comrade and friend during his first training period in Guardian.]]
* FlechetteStorm: [[spoiler:She can fire off a large number of knives at once (particularly evident in Shizuru's route), resulting in this.]]
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:In Shizuru's route she launches herself as a projectile at Kagari, smiling as she does so. It doesn't work.]]
* HotForStudent: She makes some flirty remarks towards Kotarou from time to time, but she's probably just being silly.
* HotTeacher: Her looks appear to be one of the reasons she's so popular, but she dances around the question of her age.
* JapaneseChristian: In the Terra route it's noted that, despite her Japanese name, she's in the faction of Guardian associated with the Catholic Church.
* KnifeNut: She uses her ability to make knives follow a target, though she's not limited to them.
* OneOfTheKids: She acts goofy and laid back when she's not required to be serious and ends up feeling less mature than Shizuru.
* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:Lucia was assigned to her command because psychologists felt she needed to be around someone motherly.]]
* SenseiChan: She's a really ditzy, happy go lucky teacher and gets along really well with Shizuru in particular. [[spoiler:She isn't really a teacher, though, but she wants to be one.]]
* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:In Shizuru's route, she throws everything she has at Kagari, up to and including turning herself into a projectile. Kagari survives and still ends the world.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is a bright purple color.

!!Imamiya Arata

Arata Imamiya is a playboy who dresses young for his age. He is a member of Guardian.

* HandsomeLech: He seems to like the image of a flirty young guy, though he hints that he tries not to form close relationships.
* JerkJock: When he was younger, he was kind of an arrogant jerk. For the most part, he grows out of it by the time Rewrite begins.

!!Sougen Esaka
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sougen_Esaka_5229.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/HirokiTochi

The middle-aged owner of an antiques shop; he frequents Gen-san's ramen stand. He is a retired Guardian operative.

* BadLiar: When providing a cover story for why he was in the forest chopping up monsters, he says he's a scientist investigating [=UMAs=]. He also claims to be a birdwatcher and Kotarou asks him if he's seem any dodo or moa lately. He says yes and that he owned a cute little moa himself. Granted, Esaka was not really concerned about actually convincing Kotarou and was possibly trying to make him more interested.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: He's always very serious, but he seems to be very fond of playing both the boke and tsukkomi. Unfortunately, nobody has any idea what he's doing. In Terra, someone in Guardian even thinks they're under attack when he's trying to be humorous and thanks Kotarou for 'saving' him when he performs the tsukkomi Esaka requested beforehand.
* CannotTellAJoke: He thinks he's good at comedy, but he actually just terrifies everyone when he tries doing a BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine.
* CatchPhrase: "WHYYYYYYYYYYY!!"
* CoolOldGuy: He's a nice, professional old guy and one of the most powerful characters in the story. [[spoiler:He also served as Kotarou's mentor and recruited him into Guardian once.]]
* FightsLikeANormal: He's a powerful superhuman, but of the three general categories of ability, his is the least flashy. Thus, he just fights with a sword.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: In the past, he was the person who [[spoiler:first introduced Kotarou to Guardian.]]
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Thanks to his ability and sheer skill, he can use a simple sword to become an amazing physical combatant. Of course, he's kind of cheating when it comes to cutting through just about anything rather than his sword being that great.
* LargeHam: Even his [[ItMakesSenseInContext character portrait leaps out at you]] whenever he's being hammy.
* MentorArchetype: [[spoiler:He is the person who brought Kotarou into Guardian.]]
* RetiredBadass: He's in a state of semi retirement now, though he's considered perhaps the most powerful superhuman at Guardian's disposal.
* ShopKeeper: He's the owner of an antiques shop.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Esaka confirms that he has an ability, but that it’s pretty useless. He doesn’t want to talk about it. It turns out to be the ability to see the unseen. [[spoiler:He lied. He possesses immense power to cut through things and lacks the ability he claimed to have.]]
* WorfHadTheFlu: In Shizuru's route [[spoiler:Sakuya quickly beats him before Kotarou and Shizuru can arrive as backup,]] but this is because he was caught off guard. We don't see him fight until Terra.

!!Chihaya Ohtori
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Chihaya_Ohtori_9018.jpg]]
-> Voiced by: Saya Shinomiya

A new student who [[NewTransferStudent transfers]] to Kotarou's school and class early in the story. Prior to transferring she had never really had any friends and can be a little awkward around others. This is not helped by her both being an obvious tsundere and not being terribly intelligent. She also appears to be quite wealthy and has a seemingly perfect personal butler named Sakuya to attend to her.

* ActionGirl: She has immense strength, but doesn't directly most of the time.
* BigEater: Chihaya eats constantly. Kotarou figures that the constant eating is how she manages to keep her strength up since she’s not particularly muscular. He's wrong.
* BlankWhiteEyes: Frequently; possibly more often than the rest of the cast combined.
* ButtMonkey: Chihaya is the butt of numerous jokes.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Presumably because she’s so strong and durable that she doesn’t need to worry about being careful.
* DelayedReaction: Chihaya has a tendency to not react to things properly until a bit of time has already passed.
* TheDitz: Kotarou loves teasing her because she's not very smart.
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: If she stops paying attention she throws too much strength into her activities and risks breaking things. However, this rarely happens.
* DoomedHometown: [[spoiler:She is from a village of summoners, which was razed by Guardian when she was a child.]]
* FriendlessBackground: Kotarou is her first real friend.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Chihaya can get along well with the legendary Hissy Cat. She indicates that she's used to this sort of thing.
* HairDecorations: Chihaya has wings in her hair.
* IdiotHair: She has one hair perpetually standing up.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: At one point, she uses a telephone pole to fight off several familiars.
* NewTransferStudent: She transfers in at the beginning of October and gets lost in town before making it to school successfully. She never acquires the right school uniform either.
* NoSenseOfDirection: If you don't watch her like a hawk she'll wander off the moment you take your eyes off of her and get completely lost.
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:Sakuya views Chihaya as one to extent. Though he scorns himself for it, it’s actually a positive example of the trope.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:In her own route and Shizuru's route, she chooses to leave Gaia rather than keep fighting. In Akane's route, she presumably quits as well and Kotarou never sees her again.]]
* SuperStrength: She's even stronger than Kotarou [[spoiler:as a result of her contract with Sakuya.]]
* TransferStudentUniforms: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] - her new uniform turned up in the wrong size. In fact, it's Sakuya's size, because she thought he needed a uniform too.
* {{Tsundere}}: Chihaya is a fairly obvious tsundere, though this is mostly because Kotarou is pretty fond of teasing her and she's still not as blatant as Lucia. He catches on quickly in her route.
* VerbalTic: Chihaya overuses desu and also pronounces it fully instead of the normal 'des' sound.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Chihaya’s hair is bright orange.

!!Akane Senri
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Akane_Senri_6847.jpg]]
-> Voiced by: Creator/EriKitamura

[[ClubPresident President]] of the Occult Research Club, and the "mysterious witch" of the school. She's very aloof from the group and only interacts frequently with Kotarou himself and to a lesser extent Chihaya and Sakuya. She's quite fond of teasing Kotarou. Like Chihaya, she doesn't seem to have had any friends prior to the story beginning. Unlike Chihaya, she's still not very good at it during the story.

* AgentScully: Appears as one, [[spoiler: but is actually maintaining the {{Masquerade}} by erasing any evidence that Kotarou finds.]]
* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:She's one of the leaders of Gaia and the direct subordinate of the real boss. Gaia has at least two major factions and Akane's is the one that wants to end the world, though she doesn't seem thrilled about it. However, despite this, she persists. In Chihaya's route she apparently prevents the Song of Salvation, but then goes nuts when she sees all the bad memories of mankind and nearly ends the world herself. In both her own and Shizuru's route she succeeds.]]
* BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord: It's magic, honest!
* BrilliantButLazy: She's quite clever and witty, but she hates exerting herself. She doesn't even seem to go to class for exams, making it unclear why she goes to school at all.
* ClubPresident: She's officially the leader of the Occult Club, though it was actually already disbanded. Plus, Kotarou tends to be the one who actually tries investigating occult stuff.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has yellowish-white eyes and hair.
* FriendlessBackground: The idea of friends is something that's rather foreign to Akane. She seems slightly bemused that she actually cares about people like Kotarou.
* GamerChick: Almost never seen in the club room without her laptop and playing games.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: [[spoiler:In Chihaya's route, Akane manages to capture Kotori and the Key. Right when she's deciding that she doesn't need to cause the end of the world anymore, the Key shows her the worst memories of mankind and she goes absolutely insane. She’s furious that the Key saw enough good that it decided not to wipe out humanity and decides to do it herself.]]
* {{Hikikomori}}: She hates going outside or interacting with new people.
* LazyBum: She hates having to go out and meet people.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Akane likes to act as the OnlySaneMan, but even apart from her obvious eccentricities she’s really determined to disprove anything occult based due to the groping bet made at the beginning. The lengths she goes to for this are quite impressive. She also joins in on the antics occasionally despite her protests.
* {{Ojou}}: She was adopted by an old, influential woman with ties to the Martel Corporation. Whenever Kotarou catches her by surprise, though, she's usually ruining whatever dignity and elegance she has. She's also fairly vulgar.
* OnlySaneWoman: Akane, despite calling herself a witch, is the only one with a firm grasp on reality. She's also the only one who seems to really notice what a bunch of weirdos have gathered in the club room. [[spoiler:It later turns out that her 'firm grasp on reality' thing was her covering up incidents that she actually knew to be true while exposing those that were genuinely fake.]]
* ReluctantPsycho: [[spoiler:She does not really seem to enjoy her job and faces it with sheer resignation. When she wins in Shizuru's route, she's depressed. She does not really want to become the Holy Woman either and when she inherits the job in her route she starts slipping quickly under the weight of the inherited grudge despite knowing and hating what she's doing.]]
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: She abuses her wealth and influence to get credits even when not attending classes. She also gave her secretary a teaching position in school.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Is on the receiving end of a harsh one from [[spoiler: Koutarou]].
-> [[spoiler: Koutarou]]: You've always been relying on someone or something else. Have you ever wanted to get strong yourself?
* TransferableMemory: [[spoiler:Her ability to "heal" people with broken minds is really just turning a part of their brain into a familiar. She then transcribes some of her memories to "fix" them.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Akane’s hair is some whitish yellow color.

!!Sakuya Ohtori
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sakuya_Ohtori_9710.jpg]]
->Voiced by: Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi

Sakuya is Chihaya's bodyguard and butler. He is amazingly strong, fast, {{Bishonen}} and durable. On top of this, he is excellent at essentially everything. Unfortunately for Kotarou, he seems to have gotten on Sakuya's bad side almost immediately and thus has to endure a constant rain of insulting nicknames.

* TheAce: Sakuya is amazing at essentially everything.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: [[spoiler:In Chihaya's route and the Moon route, he takes on an alternate form larger than any other familiar in the story.]]
* BattleButler: He's officially Chihaya's butler, though he tries to claim at first that he's her brother. Personally, he refers to himself as her knight, which shows his sheer resolve to protect her no matter what.
* BishieSparkle: When asked to go outside the clubroom, he wanders the hallways being gorgeous and charming, making many girls quickly fall for his bishie sparkles.
* {{Bishonen}}: Kotarou irritably notes that with Sakuya's looks and personality he would be very popular.
* BlankWhiteEyes: [[UpToEleven Complete with black screen and cold wind]] whenever Chihaya makes a comment that hurts him.
* TheCavalry: [[spoiler:In Moon Route Sakuya shows up after Lucia, Kotori, Sakuya HB, Akane and all the normal people Kotarou called for have fallen. His presence alone is enough to help turn the tide of battle for the moment.]]
* CherryBlossomGirl: Gender-inverted. His name even sounds like Sakura, and [[spoiler: as a man who transformed into a cherry tree, and then reborn as a familiar, the affiliation is fairly explicit]].
-> Sakuya: [[spoiler: "Chihaya-san... all cherry blossoms fall apart eventually. It's in their nature.]]
* ChickMagnet: Whenever he walks the halls, crowds of fangirls gather to gush over him.
* ClothFu: His secondary ability [[spoiler:and the one that differentiates him from Kotarou, who instead has body fluid control/Aurora]] is the ability to manipulate cloth.
* FailureKnight: Sakuya protects Chihaya because he failed to protect [[spoiler:the woman he loved from Salvation.]]
* TheGadfly: He claims to hate Kotarou and constantly screws with him, but mostly just seems to enjoy teasing him.
* GenerationXerox: Kotarou is this to him in the Chihaya Route.
** [[spoiler: It is even more true in the Shizuru route, in which Kotarou also fails to stop Salvation, and becomes a tree]].
* HeroicSacrifice:
** [[spoiler:In Chihaya’s route, Sakuya sacrifices himself to save Chihaya, Kotarou and Akane. However, Akane takes his body and turns it into a giant monster. He’s returned to normal, but this doesn’t save him.]]
** [[spoiler:In Moon Route, he comes to the aid of the group by fusing all of his potential existences together. It does get him to the battle, but at the cost of sacrificing himself from ever existing in any recreated world.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Sakuya criticizes Kotarou for openly thinking the miso soup Chihaya made was terrible, but similarly collapses himself moments later.
* IHatePastMe: In a manner of speaking. Sakuya refers to and thinks of Kotarou as his past self, though they're entirely different individuals. Because of this, he is somewhat ashamed to see Kotarou and treats him quite hostilely.
* MyGreatestFailure: Sakuya was unable to protect [[spoiler:his love Minata]].
* ParentalSubstitute: Sakuya largely serves as Chihaya’s father figure, though he’d prefer to be thought of as her big brother.
* PlantPerson: [[spoiler:Since becoming a familiar.]]
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:Sakuya is from a previously wiped out civilization of an unknown age. Shizuru's route mentions seventy thousand year old civilizations and Moon route implies that there are many much older than that ''that.'' That said, he spent most of that time as a tree. When the tree starts dying, Sakuya goes with it.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Sakuya’s eyes are a pretty good hint that there’s more to the guy than just some goofy guy that makes fun of Kotarou.
* RetGone: [[spoiler:His death in Moon Route wiped his existence from all future possible worlds. He somehow managed to appear one last time in Terra route.]]
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Chihaya's route is actually at least as much about Sakuya as Chihaya herself if not more.
* TallDarkAndHandsome
* {{Tsundere}}: A rare, non-romantic example. In her route, Chihaya mentions that Sakuya doesn't actually hate Kotarou nearly as much as he pretends to.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Sakuya is so afraid of cats that he completely freezes up.

!!Sakura Kashima
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sakura_Kashima_3480.jpg]]
->Voiced by Naomi Wakabayashi

The current leader of the Martel Group. Also the Holy Woman of Gaia, the most powerful member of the organization. She hates humanity with a passion, and is an extremely skilled summoner. She is Akane's adoptive mother.

* BigBad: She's the leader of Gaia, the darker of the two warring groups.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: [[spoiler:She's intelligent enough to be levels above all of humanity in how much she knows, thus realizing that life is empty and love is a lie, but she doesn't know that even higher above that is the fact that love is really responsible for everything. Thus, she's determined to end all possibility of life. In the process of discovering this, her ability as the Holy Woman partially broke.]]
* TheManBehindTheCurtain: Despite being the most powerful summoner, she is physically old and frail. [[spoiler:In Terra route, she dies before Kotarou could confront her.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: She wants to end all life permanently and stop Kagari from saving humanity.
* TransferableMemory: The Holy Woman transfers her memory to a successor when she dies. She might be the last proper Holy Woman because her revelation into the true nature of the world is hinted to have damaged this ability in some manner.

!!Shūichirō Suzaki
!!!Voiced by Hikaru Yukari
A member of the Martel group. He is also a member of Gaia, and plays an important part in Akane's route, where it is revealed that he used to serve Sakura Kashima in the same capacity that Kotarou now serves Akane.

* AmbitionIsEvil: [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. When Kotarou says that he thought Suzaki was just power hungry, Suzaki says that he needed more power in order to [[WellIntentionedExtremist save the world.]] ]]
* HeroAntagonist: [[spoiler:To Kotarou's (admittedly, unwitting) VillainProtagonist in the Akane route.]]
* TheStarscream: He's been attempting to sideline Sakura Kashima and the religious cult side of Gaia for years in favor of a political extortion scheme. He doesn't care much about the Key's role in Salvation. [[spoiler:They're too destructive and crazy for him. If Suzaki is taken out, the Holy Woman will attempt to end the world immediately.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:His plan to commercialize familiars in order to save humanity as a whole is actually a ''lot'' more reasonable than Kashima and Akane's plans to bring about salvation and destroy humanity. Furthermore, in Terra Route, this is basically half of the plan used to save the world.]]

!!Takasago

A member of the Martel Group. He's a member of Gaia and works with Suzaki's faction and appears in the Akane route.

* NiceGirl: She's tied with Kotori as being one of the kindest girls in the series.
