!!Princess Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld

* PrincessClassic: A {{reconstructed|Trope}} example. She's a graceful LadyOfWar and [[PrincessesPreferPink likes feminine things to an extent]] (she likes pink and can cook), and is currently heir presumptive to the throne of Lieseltania because her brother, the king, has no children yet. However, Lieseltania is a constitutional monarchy and the royal family has little legal authority, and the country is really an IEF PuppetState in any case. She didn't let that stop her, becoming a PoliticallyActivePrincess as an adolescent.

* NavelWindow: She unbuttons her school uniform to show off her belly.

* MissingMom: His mother Sakura died while he was still a child.

Sakura Amagiri, ''née'' Akari Yachigusa, was the mother of Haruka and Ayato, and a classmate, Festa partner, and eventual ex-wife of Madiath Mesa. She died when Ayato was a child.

* ParentalAbuse: She was born a Genestella to an ImpoverishedPatrician family that treated her about as well as the Dursleys treated Franchise/HarryPotter. [[FantasticRacism Viewed as a threat to their social status]], she was exiled to a garden shed for most of her childhood and not even allowed to attend school, until she was discovered and befriended by Kotoha Toudou (Kirin's future mother). Eventually she got permission to leave home to attend Seidoukan Academy.
* PosthumousCharacter: She only appears via {{flashback}}s starting in volume 13.

* BareYourMidriff: She unbuttons her school uniform to show off her belly.

* WalkingSwimsuitScene: She usually walks around in a bikini top under a Le Wolfe uniform that hangs off her shoulders and is only buttoned above her midriff. This seems to be for shock value: she turns out to be a jeans-and-T-shirt girl when she and Priscilla invite Ayato and Julis to their off-campus apartment.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: A {{downplayed}} example. He starts as a famous MasterSwordsman and martial artist when he is transferred into Seidoukan. Then, he blunders into high-profile duels with Julis and Kirin shortly after enrolling, and dethrones Kirin as the academy's top student mere weeks before the start of the Phoenix Festa, where he and Julis become the team to beat (so much so that Dirk Eberwein resorted to taking hostages to try fixing the championship match against him).

* HairDecorations: She has two key-like headpieces on either side of her hair. In the books she eventually trades these in for a feather-shaped hairclip given to her by the orphanage she saved.

* HairDecorations: She has two short braids secured with a yellow and black hairpiece.

* HairDecorations: She has two hair adornments that look like horns on either side of her hair.

* DealWithTheDevil: Offers one to Ayato to revive his sister who is in an apparently self-inflicted coma, in exchange for regaining full access to Arlequint's research equipment, personnel, and [[HumanResources test subjects.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: Killing someone in self-defense, even if one is a Genestella, is a serious crime. Using their own relatives or children as pawns in their plans, covering up crimes, and hiring someone to kill a princess? They're even more serious matters, as demonstrated by Claudia when she learns about Koichiro's intentions to corrupt Kirin and when Nicholas plots an assassination attempt on Julis to keep her out of the Gryps Festa.

* TomboyishPonytail: In the books, she changes her hairstyle to a

* HairDecorations: She has two key-like headpieces on either side of her hair.

* TrainingFromHell: [[spoiler:Fan Xinglou's training seems to qualify, as Julis repeatedly shows up to meetings with her friends injured. The burns are a particular surprise, given Julis is immune to her own fire.]]

* MuggingTheMonster: Kirin is just learning to swim under Saya's tutelage and bumps into her by accident. Violet starts bullying her, and Kirin is too much of a ShrinkingViolet (no pun intended) to bring up the fact that she was, until the previous episode, Seidoukan's #1 rank. When Saya, unranked but with enough prowess to be a Page One, defends Kirin, Violet challenges Saya to a duel. [[CurbStompBattle Violet is ranked 35th, so you can guess how that went.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: She's the heir of Lieseltania and the main love interest of Ayato Amagiri.

* TheProtagonist: He's the central character of the series.

* GoodIsNotSoft: He may be TheProtagonist, but he can kick ass when he has to.

* Extreme Doormat: She starts off as this given her relationship with her uncle, who abuses her without her reaction. She gets better after becoming friends with Ayato, after which she stands up to her uncle and starts to stand up for herself. She's still very unassuming, though.

->'''Voiced by:''' Kaede Hondo (Japanese)

* RebelliousPrincess: While a PrincessClassic in many respects, she's also got a fiery temper and competes as a tournament fighter. She also rebels against the political status quo in her country, which is controlled by an IEF through its parliament.

* SpoiledSweet: She never tries to act like her status as a princess makes her superior to anyone. Ever since she was a child, Julis liked to hang out with the commoners instead of chilling at her castle and she wants to help people in every way she can.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is the president of St. Galahadsworth's student council and is a MasterSwordsman to boot.

* MasterSwordsman: He uses a sword as his WeaponOfChoice.

!!His Majesty King Jolbert Murray Johannes Heinrich von Riessfeld

Jolbert von Riessfeld is the King of Lieseltania and the older brother of Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld. He's a shameless layabout and puppet for the IEF that runs Lieseltania.

!!Her Royal Highness Princess Julis-Alexia Marie Florentia Renate von Riessfeld

Julis-Alexia von Riessfeld is the fifth top-ranking student at Seidoukan Academy. She also serves as the Princess of Lieseltania, which is ruled by her brother, Jolbert von Riessfeld. She's a "Strega," which is a rare form of Genestella which has the ability to use actual magic abilities (most Genestella simply have advanced physical abilities and the ability to wield magical weapons). Her Strega abilities allow her to produce fire and explosions. She soon catches the eye of Ayato Amagiri and an interesting relationship blossoms between the two.
