* AdaptationalWimp: Perhaps because it focuses on her more vulnerable and human side, the TV series downplays a lot her manipulative skills and array of vampiric powers, and instead has her angsting and needing rescue by Larva more often. However, she does not need anymore to spell the name of the Shinma in order to seal them as in the OVA, although it might be more of a thing of the series's dynamics than her own skillset.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Her personality varies greatly between continuities. In the OVA, Miyu is portrayed as a twisted, whimsical trickster who presents herself in a grandiloquent manner and enjoys toying with people. In stark contrast, the TV series shows her as serious, collected and soft-spoken, as well as much more caring and kind-hearted, and definitively more of a conventional hero. Her original manga personality, finally, could be considered a mix of both, albeit featuring a certain amount of sensitivity and self-doubt that is not present in any.

* BreathWeapon: In the OVA, she shuts off Raen's WillOTheWisp lights by blowing at them.



* CripplingOverspecialization: While very nimble, most of Miyu's offensive abilities are psychic in nature, forcing her to trust Larva to handle the physical aspect of the fighting. If her fire fails to work and he's not around, she can only resort to CombatParkour to wait for a chance.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She is barefoot whenever she goes hunting, only sporting a red ribbon around her right foot and not always. The OVA and manga imply she adopted the habit because she was unshod when she woke up as a vampire, while the TV series hints her white hunting kimono without footwear is a sort of uniform for her kind. In any case, she has been this way over both snow and burning sands, so she clearly does not care about it. It also crosses into UndeadBarefooter considering she is a vampire.

* GoodIsNotNice: She does what she can, and occasionally feels regret for those she can't help, but in the end her job is to banish Shinma and absolutely not to protect or save people. She's not above using mortals as bait or even killing them to get to Shinma, if necessary.

* MusicalAssassin: In the anime series, she plays a small flute when appearing to her enemies. It is only to announce herself, though.



* OurVampiresAreDifferent: She is a rather powerful and atypical kind, as she has none of the classic vampire wesknesses yet shows several of their usual powers (and given that her mother didn't have them either, it cannot be easily attributed to Miyu being a {{Dhampyr}}). She doesn't have even fangs or an uncontrollable need for blood, and seems to be impossible to differentiate from a regular human girl if not by her abilities. Additionally, she has the ability to leave her victims in perpetual dream trances, something even less common in vampire lore.

* PowerFloats: Although not as much as Miyu, among other things because he moves little and has a cloth that obscures his body, he can basically levitate.

* YourSizeMayVary: His height is not easy to measure due to his long robe and levitating powers, but it varies between continuities and even scenes judging for whenever he stands behind Miyu. He is sometimes just relatively tall by western standards, while other times he genuinely looks like a 10 ft giant.



* CanonImmigrant: First inverted and later played straight. Although he might look like a TV addition to capitalize on to the mon fad of TheNineties, he seems to be based on a fragance charm Miyu received as a gift from a doll maker in the manga. However, after the TV series aired, another charm with his exact shape appeared in the manga, with Miyu commenting it looked like a plushie named Shiina she used to have. Finally, he would end up appearing properly.

At the end of the day, however, it is not revealed how bad actually his grades are, and considering his siblings seem to be high-achievers, he might not be that bad. Considering he looks seriously depressed, it might even be due to a lack of motivation rather than talent.

* AntiMagic: His eye can nullify enemy spells, although he rarely does it.
* CanonImmigrant: First subverted and later straight. Although he might look like a TV addition to capitalize on to the mon fad of TheNineties, he is based on a fragance charm Miyu received as a gift from a doll maker in the manga. After the TV series aired, another charm with his exact shape appeared in the manga, with Miyu commenting it looked like a plushie she had whose name was Shiina.
* MadEye: His right eye, which gives him scrying powers, is huge, bloodshot and usually hidden behind one of his bunny-like ears.

* {{Seers}}: More exactly, if you look into his sort-of EvilEye, you can see stuff that is normally invisible.

* AdaptationalWimp: Perhaps because the TV series focuses on her more vulnerable and human side, it downplays her GuileHero aspect and has her needing rescue by Larva more often.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the OVA, Miyu is portrayed as whimsical and articulate, as well as a bit of a twisted trickster. In stark contrast, the TV series presents her as much more somber and collected, almost apathetical, and makes her more emotionally sensitive.



%% * BrokenBird
* DarkMagicalGirl: Toyed with. She's not only the main character, but she's the one who seeks out friendship instead of being lured out by others.
%% * DoesNotLikeShoes
%% * FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire
* GoodIsNotNice: She does what she can, and occasionally feels regret for those she can't help, but in the end her job is to ''banish Shinma'', not to protect or save people. She's not above using mortals as bait or even killing them to get to Shinma, if necessary.
* GuileHero: The girl is ''frighteningly'' manipulative and good at playing people, specially in the OAV and in spin offs like ''Vampire Yui'' and ''Vampire Princess''. Very, '''very''' few people are able to outsmart her.

%% * BrokenBird
BrokenBird: In all continuities, her family life and adolescence were destroyed in the process of becoming a vampire.
* DarkMagicalGirl: Toyed with. She's not only the main character, but she's the one who seeks out friendship instead * DoesNotLikeShoes: She is barefoot whener she goes hunting, though usually sporting a red ribbon on her right foot. The OVA implies she adopted the habit because she was fleeing unshod when she woke up as a vampire, while the TV series implies her white hunting kimono without shoes is a sort of uniform for her kind. In any case, she has been this way over both snow and burning sands, so either case she clearly does not care. It also crosses into UndeadBarefooter considering she is a vampire.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Strictly speaking, she only feeds on people who would benefit to some degree of the LotusEaterMachine induced by her bites. The only time she is suspected
of being lured out by others.
