[[folder:A-F]]
* AbusiveParents: ''Whoo boy''. Twice, first with his biological mother, then with his "guardian" Krul.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the anime, he was less teasing of Yuu and was also much gentler than the mischievous child he was in the manga. In fact, Anime!Mika has ''never'' called Yuu stupid despite Manga!Mika trying his best to make it clear that he thinks of Yuu as one, which makes his shouting of "Hurry up and run, '''idiot'''!!" a bit out-of-nowhere in the anime.
* AffectionateNickname: Is called "Mika" by Yuu. On the other hand, he's always called Yuu "Yuu-''[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics chan]]''" ever since they first met, and he's notably the only one to do so at this time.
* AlwaysSaveTheBoy: Mika's top priority is Yuu's safety, no ands, ifs or buts.
* AmbiguouslyGay: He has a strong attachment to Yuu that many have interpreted as someone madly in love. However, this is mostly due to years of hating humans and vampires and having Yuu being the only person he could trust. [[spoiler:In Chapter 90 Mika tells Yuu that he loves him, moving this from ambiguous to confirmed.]]
* BerserkButton: If Mika thinks you just ''might'' be a threat to Yuu, he will try to kill you. He ''slices off'' Ferid's arm just because he touches Yuu and hates Guren because he suspects him of experimenting on Yuu.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Has had this since he was young, and even now as a vampire Mika clearly feels protective of and identifies with children. But because he's a vampire, he also feels he has to protect them from himself.
* {{Bishonen}}: He's been described as beautiful by many characters throughout the series. In fact, he's probably the ''most'' attractive.
* BridalCarry: So far in the series, he has carried Yuu this way a total of three times. He does this in Chapter 13/Episode 11, Chapter 35-36/Season 2 Episode 9-10, and Chapter 40.
* BreakTheCutie: When he hatched a plan to escape from the vampire city with his family, they got killed by Ferid, and he himself was turned into a vampire. For the next four years, he was forced to live with the vampires that he and his family hate so much (including with the killer of his family), while learning the truth about the previous experimentation conducted by the Hyakuya Orphanage and realizing that the last surviving member of his family (Yuu) is being experimented on and manipulated by the supposedly good guys. He also continues to be tortured due to his constant craving for human blood. In the end, he ends up hating both vampires and humans, and the only being he trusts is Yuu, who he doesn't see until four years later.
* BrokenBird: A male example as he was once [[UsedToBeASweetKid more easy-going sort of happy-go-lucky if not also a bit mischievous child who used to smile and be more expressive]], but after the massacre of his family and being separated from Yuu only to spend 4 years living with the vampires he hates(not to mention becoming one) has done a number on him. He hates both humans and vampires, and has become TheStoic to cope with his trauma. He [[IAmAMonster sees himself as nothing more than a monster,]] holds little to no value in his life, but fights on to find Yuu again.
* ButNotTooForeign: He's noted multiple times to have foreign appearance. WordOfGod is that he's half Russian.
* CoolSword: Mikaela wields a first class vampire sword that can sprout thorny vines so that it can drink his blood in order to enhance his physical abilities and project [[SwordBeam long-range attacks.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Even ''before'' he became a Hyakuya, his life was a living hell. His father was an abusive drunk, his mother was an insane cultist, and together the two of them threw him out of a speeding car and left him on the street bleeding as he watched them die in a accident.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Sure, he's a vampire, but he's one of the few heroic vampires and is very protective of Yuu's well-being.
* DeclarationOfProtection: He and Yuu declare this about each other with all the HoYay implications attached.
* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Purposefully put on a cute act on occasion in order to disguise his other motives and feelings as a child.
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: In Chapter 90, [[spoiler:Mika tells Yuu that he loves him right before his body explodes in front of a desperate Yuu.]]
* EmergencyTransformation: He was fatally wounded by Ferid. While he was on the brink of death, Krul forced him to drink her blood to transform him into a vampire and save his life.
* FaceMonsterTurn: Was turned into a vampire by Krul without his consent.
** Later on, [[spoiler:he becomes a demon]].
* FamilyOfChoice: After being abused and thrown out of a speeding car by his parents, he managed to make a new family with the other orphans at the Hyakuya Orphanage. [[EverybodysDeadDave And then they're all slaughtered by a vampire...]]
* FirstKiss: At the age of 12 with [[http://owarinoseraph.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ep_4_Snapshot_23.png Krul]].
* FountainOfYouth: [[spoiler:After becoming a demon, Mika appears as a young child with horns]].
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler: Guren Catastrophe light novel revealed that he had met Guren and Shinoa once, before Yuu came to the orphanage.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:G-R]]
* GenderBlenderName: "Mikaela" is a name that is more often given to girls. Mika himself [[LampshadeHanging knows this.]]
* GuileHero: In the first chapter, as a {{Foil}} to Yuu.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Pre-TimeSkip. As for now, he's more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: He obviously hates vampires mainly because he was forced to turn into one and a vampire noble killed his "family". However, he also hates humans, not only because of the HumansAreTheRealMonsters trope, but also because of how the greed of humans had caused them to inhumanly experiment on children and his fellow Hyakuya orphans ''again'' ''and'' ''again'' just for the sake of power.
** The only exceptions are [[FamilyOfChoice Yuu]], [[ILoveYouVampireSon Krul Tepes]] and the dead Hyakuya orphans.
* HeroicSacrifice: For better or worse, Mika tends to sacrifice himself and his happiness for the sake of his loved ones. He frequently let Ferid drink from him directly (which is forbidden for all vampires) in exchange for favors and things (e.g. extra food) for his fellow Hyakuya orphans while hiding the fact from them. He even sacrificed himself to give Yuu a chance to escape from Sanguinem after the other orphans were slaughtered right in front of their eyes.
* HesGotLegs: The pants he wears are long, but the thigh-high boots he wears outside combined with the length of his shirt makes him look like a grade-A ZettaiRyouiki case. And Mika's legs are very long and shapely, which the boots only [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/0de8547812d9e95093a24c72e4834919/tumblr_o24yp9u6Fs1uwx0jwo1_540.gif happily emphasize.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Yuu. The whole 'being on opposite sides' thing complicates it slightly. Fortunately, Mika has never really been on the vampires' side to begin with since he hated the vampires as much as he hated the humans. [[spoiler: By chapter 41, Mika completely leaves the vampires to join Shinoa's team so that he can be with Yuu.]] And considering that [[spoiler: Mika tells Yuu that [[DyingDeclarationOfLove he loves him]] in chapter 90]], it’s definitely not heterosexual from Mika’s side (Yuu is a bit more [[AmbiguouslyGay ambiguous]]).
* HeyYou: Except for [[FullNameBasis Ferid]] whom he loathes and Krul who is his caretaker, Mika's never called any vampire by name. And when it comes to human, except for [[ChildhoodFriend Yuu]], he calls all of them simply "human".
* HiddenDisdainReveal: Mika pretended to be respectful to Ferid to exchange blood for good food for the other children and also to steal the map for his escaping plan. After Ferid killed everyone, though, Mika immediately makes it clear that he despises Ferid and wants him dead.
* IAmAMonster: He considers himself as "just a filthy bloodsucker" when asked about his identity by other vampires. He also has a notable self-loathing for being a vampire. [[spoiler: In chapter 37, Yuu tries to comfort Mika by saying that being a vampire is okay after Mika turned into a full vampire after giving Mika his blood. Considering that the major reason Mika doesn't want to become a full vampire because he is afraid that Yuu will hate him, the fact that he himself offers his blood to Mika and even says that he doesn't see Mika any differently really means a ''lot''.]]
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Is notably arrogant, but it probably acts as a defense mechanism to cover his other insecurities.
* InSeriesNickname: Similar to how Yuuichirou is shortened into "Yuu", his name "Mikaela" tends to just be called "Mika".
* IcyBlueEyes: He still retained his human blue eyes because he wasn't completely turned to a vampire.[[spoiler: In Chapter 36, he drinks Yuu's blood and completed his transformation to a true vampire, thus turning his eye color to red.]]
* ItsAllMyFault: Blames himself for the other orphans' death.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: He and Yuu are very much this to each other. It's also implied that Mika only puts up with Ferid and living with the other vampires because he wants to see Yuu again.
* MeaningfulAppearance: Most often than not, he will usually be wearing white any or light colors which helps his angelic-like appearance.
* MeaningfulName: Mikaela's name is derived from Archangel Michael, and Mika is one of the guinea pigs for the Seraph of the End experiments, which involves [[spoiler:the angels based on the [[Literature/BookOfRevelation Book of Revelation]]]]. [[spoiler: The Vampire Mikaela light novel however suggests that the name actually comes from far more sinister origins.]]
* MessyHair: His blonde hair sticks up on top of his head. But it doesn't makes him any less [[{{Bishonen}} pretty]]. If anything, it adds more to it.
* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: [[spoiler:When Mika becomes a demon, he appears as a small, horned child and his first thoughts are about how he desires to possess a human and devour their desires]].
* MistressAndServantBoy: Servant to Krul's mistress.
* MoralityPet: To Krul Tepes. Her interactions with him are what humanize her the most.
* MultiEthnicName: His last name is Japanese (though it comes from the orphanage he lived at), while his first name Mikaela is Latin in origin. However, his name is often shortened to the more Japanese-sounding "Mika".
* PhenotypeStereotype: Subverted. WordOfGod is that he's half-Russian.
* PerpetualSmiler: Played straight when he was younger as he was the more teasing and cheerful one compared to how sour-faced Yuu was. However, this is switched after they became teenagers, as having found friends in the Shinoa Squad makes Yuu TookALevelInCheerfulness and even more smiley after being reunited with Mika, while four years in the vampire community he loathes with no one except for Krul to rely on, and the determination to find Yuu being the only thing keeping him from suicide, makes Mika a PerpetualFrowner.
* RedOniBlueOni: He and Yuu are a prime example of this trope. Mika, despite having some obsessive qualities, is level-headed, calm, and often a voice of reason to his friend. Yuu on the other hand is hotblooded, fiery, and full of determination.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:S-Y]]
* SayMyName: Yuu-chan, Yuu-chan, ''Yuu-chaaan''!! In fact, the fanbook reveals that his favorite phrase is "Yuu-chan" itself.
* ASimplePlan: He tried so hard to plan out an escape for himself and his family from the vampire city, and almost succeeded until it went all horribly wrong.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Mika shows romantic interest in no one else but Yuu.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: A variation. [[spoiler: When Mika interrogates Aihara Aiko about Yuu's whereabouts, she doesn't reveal it, saying that she won't betray her comrades. However, after he gets pissed off at that and shouts at her that they are not [[AffectionateNickname "Yuu-chan"]]'s comrades, she gets surprised, then proceeds to give his partners red herrings, but him the true location of Yuu. When he asks her why, she replies that she might be able to trust a guy who call Yuu "Yuu-''chan''".]]
* SourOutsideSadInside: He tends to brush other vampires and humans off (except for the orphans in Sanguinem and Yuu) with cold indifference and is openly hostile to other characters at times in order to keep a distance.
* SpockSpeak: Mika [[TheQuietOne talks very little]] after being turned into a vampire, mostly doesn't start a conversation unless being spoken to, and more often than not ignores all of Lacus' attempt to talk to him. When he ''does'' answer, he tends to speak cryptically and not more than what the question requires of him.
* TheStoic: Guards his emotions in the present day and rarely changes his default, indifferent demeanor. [[NotSoStoic Yuu makes him more emotional, though.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: While he may typically act reserved and unsociable, he becomes warmer and more emotional around Yuu.
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: Mika [[spoiler: is also a Seraph so he likely has one.]] He also had to combat his vampiric instincts until [[spoiler:he drank Yuu's blood]] in Chapter 36.
* TakingTheBullet: Does this for Yu in the [[HeroicSacrifice first chapter]]. Repeats this later on when [[spoiler:he protects Shinoa with his body so that Yuu won't kill her while berserk, since he knows Yu wouldn't want to see her dead.]]
* TearsFromAStone: Vampires are not able to cry, but Mika has cried because of Yuu quite a few times. The most notable instances include when he comes back to the vampire city after reuniting with Yuu in episode 12, and after drinking Yuu's blood in episode 22.
* ThinkHappyThoughts: In order to keep himself and his family happy, when he was younger Mika preferred to look on the bright side and find happiness in the little things.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Even though he hates humans, Mika tries his best to avoid killing them, even when humans try to kill him; he'll only kill a human if it's necessary, [[spoiler:like when he reluctantly killed Aiko in a MercyKill and when he stabbed Guren's chest for attacking him. Also, despite assuming that Shinoa is involved in experimenting on Yuu, Mika refused to allow Yuu to kill her while Yuu was in the Seraph mode.]] This trope is averted when it comes to vampires as Mika has been shown to be okay with killing them.
* TokenMinority: Goes both way. As a fellow orphan in Hyakuya Orphanage, he's the only one who's [[ButNotTooForeign not fully Japanese]], makes even more clear by how only he has bright blonde hair while the others have various shades of brunet. And as a vampire, he's the only one to not be fully Western, as only he has a Japanese surname.
* TookALevelInCynic: Used to be far more idealistic and cheerful, but now is jaded and bitter. Understandably so after all the suffering he has been through and the terrible things he has seen.
* UnkemptBeauty: He has MessyHair that does nothing to detract from his {{Bishonen}} looks.
* UndyingLoyalty: Mika would do anything for his [[FamilyOfChoice family]] and will always be loyal to Yuu. In fact, Mika leaves the vampires' side so easily because his loyalty is placed first and foremost to Yuu only.
* UnwittingTestSubject: He was used for human experiments relating the Seraph of the End along with Yuu and the other Hyakuya orphans. Mika just didn't remember it because they erased his memories several times.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: In the first chapter, he's especially nice, albeit capable of mischief.
* WarmBloodbagsAreEverywhere: As time goes by, Mika becomes more and more desperate in controlling his thirst for human blood. He still adamantly refuses to give in to his thirst, no matter how much his body craves human blood. He opts to drink Krul's blood instead [[spoiler: (which has progressively become less effective in quenching his thirst)]] because he doesn't want to lose the last remnant of his humanity and become a true immortal vampire (or a complete monster, in his own words). [[spoiler: In Chapter 36 (Episode 22), after some urging and persuasion from Yuu, he finally gives in to his thirst, drinks Yuu's blood, and turns into a true vampire.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Considering Mika's circumstances, the lengths he goes are understandable.
* WhenHeSmiles: In the present, Mika only smiles for real when he's thinking about Yuu or being around Yuu. His smile at those moments is always gorgeous.
* WorthLivingFor: Mika's reason to endure his bloodthirst and keep living as a "filthy vampire" is to meet Yuu again.
* YouLeaveHimAlone: Has said this in a variety of ways more than once. Mika just wants the humans to stop using Yuu and gets aggressive to any vampire who threaten to harm Yuu.
* YouShallNotPass: Pushes Yuu away in the first chapter so that Yuu can escape before other vampires come to kill them.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Yuu. The whole 'being on opposite sides' thing complicates it slightly. Fortunately, Mika has never really been on the vampires' side to begin with since he hated the vampires as much as he hated the humans. [[spoiler: By chapter 41, Mika completely leaves the vampires to join Shinoa's team so that he can be with Yuu.]] And the "heterosexual" part in both of them is [[AmbiguouslyGay quite debatable.]]

* MistressAndServantBoy: Servant to Krul's mistress

* PerpetualSmiler: Played straight when he was younger as he was the more teasing and cheerful one compared to how sour-faced Yuu was. However, this is switched after they became adults, as having found friends in the Shinoa Squad makes Yuu TookALevelInCheerfulness and even more smiley after being reunited with Mika, while four years in the vampire community he loathes with no one except for Krul to rely on, and the determination to find Yuu being the only thing keeping him from suicide makes Mika a PerpetualFrowner.

* TearsFromAStone: Vampires are not able to cry, but Mika has cried because of Yuu quite a few times. The most notable includes when he comes back to the vampire city after reuniting with Yuu in episode 12, and after drinking Yuu's blood in episode 22.

* AmbiguouslyGay: He has a strong attachment to Yuu that many have interpreted as someone madly in love. However, this is mostly due to years of hating humans and vampires and having Yuu being the only person he could trust. There's nothing that has outright confirmed whether Mika's love for Yuu is romantic or familial.

* ManInWhite: Most often than not, he will usually be wearing white any or light colors which helps his angelic-like appearance.

* GenderBlenderName: Mikaela is a name that is more often given to girls. Mika himself [[LampshadeHanging knows this.]]

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the anime, he was less teasing of Yuu and was also much gentler than the mischievous child he was in the manga. In fact, Anime!Mika has ''never'' called Yuu stupid despite Manga!Mika trying his best to make it clear that he thinks of Yuu as one, which makes his shouting of "Hurry up and run, '''idiot'''!!" a bit out-of-nowhere in the anime.
* ASimplePlan: He tried so hard to plan out an escape for himself and his family from the vampire city, and almost succeeded until it went all horribly wrong.

* AmbiguouslyGay: He has a strong attachment to Yuu. However, this is mostly due to years of hating humans and vampires and having Yuu being the only person he could trust. [[spoiler:Considering the fact that vampires in general have no interest in things other than blood (e.g. sexual attraction), Mika's attraction to Yuu is unclear.]]
** [[spoiler: Actually, the series's creator has stated that Mika's attachment to Yuu is stronger than his attachment to blood [[http://mimesisemblance.tumblr.com/post/117502956991/ons-qa-what-mikaela-chan-likes]]. Mika is already known to be an exception to many of the established vampiric traits, such as being able to shed tears and to refuse to drink human blood. As a result, the fanbook brings his nature into question: “Hyakuya Mikaela…can it truly be said he’s a 'vampire'?"]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: A ''heroic'' example. Mika pretended to be respectful to Ferid to exchange blood for good food for the other children and also to steal the map for his escaping plan. After Ferid killed everyone, though, Mika immediately makes it clear that he despise Ferid and wants him dead.

* BigDamnKiss: [[http://owarinoseraph.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ep_4_Snapshot_23.png With Krul]]. Subverted, though, as this kiss is just so she could make him a vampire, and their relationship is clearly not romantic.

* BrokenBird: A male example as he was once [[UsedToBeASweetKid more easy-going sort of happy-go-lucky if not also a bit mischievous child who used to smile and be more expressive]], but after the massacre of his family and being separated from Yuu only to spend 4 years living with the vampires he hates(not to mention becoming one) has done a number on him. He hates both humans and vampires, and has become TheStoic to cope with his trauma. He sees himself as nothing more than a monster, holds little to no value in his life, but fights on to find Yuu again.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Mika [[spoiler: is also a Seraph so he likely has one.]] He also had to combat his vampiric instincts until [[spoiler:he drank Yuu's blood]] in Chapter 36.

* TenderTears: Vampires are not able to cry, but Mika has cried because of Yuu quite a few times. The most notable includes when he comes back to the vampire city after reuniting with Yuu in episode 12, and after drinking Yuu's blood in episode 22.
* TheStoic: Guards his emotions in the present day and rarely changes his default, indifferent demeanor. [[SugarAndIcePersonality Yuu makes him more emotional, though.]]

* UsedToBeASweetKid: In the first chapter, he's especially nice, albeit capable of mischief.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Well, Mika's not Yuu's girlfriend, nor is he even a girl for that matter, but he certainly has the mindset and tendencies of this trope. He ''slices off'' Ferid's arm just because he touches Yuu, hates Guren because he suspects him of experimenting on Yuu and has, more than one time, put Yuu's safety above his own. It's downplayed for the trope, but certainly there.

* BigDamnKiss: [[http://owarinoseraph.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ep_4_Snapshot_23.png With Krul]]. Subverted, though, as this kiss is just so she could make him a vampire, and their relationship is more motherly than romantic.

* AbusiveParents: ''Whoo boy''. Averted with his adoptive mother Krul.
