History Characters / X1999

%%* NoblewomansLaugh: A truly scary one.

* ABoyAndHisX: By tradition, the Nekoi family form lifelong partnerships with ''inugami'' like Yuzuriha's Inuki.

* DiesDifferentllyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:The manner of her death differs in every adaptation. In the manga, she was crucified and Fuuma stabs ''and'' beheads her. In the TV series, it's the same but there's no beheading. In the movie, she tries to reach Kamui but Fuuma grabs her and pulls the Shinken out of her body]].

* DiesDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:The manner of his death differs in every adaptation. In the manga, he was killed by Fuuma while protecting Karen. In the movie, Aoki takes down him [[TakingYouWithMe which also cost him his own life]]. In the TV series, he gives up his life to Fuuma, who was severely injured from Sorata's attack]]].

* SmokingIsCool: When '''Seishirou''' does it, it's cool. When Subaru does it, he gets lectured about the health risks -- by Seishirou himself, nonetheless.

* BiTheWay: While it's made pretty obvious that Arashi is his one true love and comments on Kotori's cuteness in the manga, he also [[HoYay gets pretty flirty with Kamui]] in the early chapters and Subaru's [[TroubledButCute good looks, but bad attitude]] upon meeting. He even expresses - while Kamui and Arashi are on either side of him - how grateful he is to be between "two beauties".

* BiTheWay: While it's made pretty obvious that Arashi is his one true love and comments on Kotori's cuteness in the manga, he also [[HoYay gets pretty flirty with Kamui]] in the early chapters and has no problem commenting on Subaru's good looks. He even expresses - while Kamui and Arashi are on either side of him - how grateful he is to be between "two beauties".

* SmokingIsCool: When 'Seishirou' does it, it's cool. When Subaru does it, he gets lectured about the health risks -- by Seishirou himself, nonetheless.

* TookALevelInCynic: Back in ''Manga/TokyoBabylon'' he was an AllLovingHero [[UsedToBeASweetKid sweet child]] who was willing to risk death to save (often {{Jerkass}}) strangers he never knew personally. After the tragic events of that manga, [[TookALevelInJerkass Subaru has became quite cynical and hesitant to to suffer for the sake of others]] (especially strangers out to do harm). However [[JerkWithAHeartofGold he's still willing to fight to defend the weak and innocent]]; he's just no longer a [[AllLovingHero willing martyr]] that he was in ''Tokyo Babylon''.

* BiTheWay: It is made pretty obvious that Arashi is his one true love and he also comments on Kotori's cuteness in the manga, but [[HoYay he gets pretty flirty with Kamui]] in the early chapters of the manga. He even comments while Kamui and Arashi are on either side of him how grateful he is to be between "two beauties".
* BromanticFoil: He's one to Kamui in the early parts of the manga.

* LoveAtFirstSight: A weirdly enforced example. He decides that [[spoiler: if he ''is'' destined to die for the sake of a woman, it better be for a pretty one]]; he's impressed by Arashi's AloofDarkHairedGirl looks, so he decides she should be the one and approaches her, and as the story progresses they fall in love for real.

Orphaned at a young age, she was found in the streets and then raised by {{Miko}} priestesses (who actually were the friends of her MissingMom, a former comrade of them) and eventually became the Hidden Priestess of the Ise temple. A very skilled swordswoman with the ability to
[[PersonOfHolding summon her sword from her left hand]]. She initially coldly rejects the rather forward propositions of Sorata but, like Kamui, [[DefrostingIceQueen she gradually warms up to him]] and reciprocates. But consummating their love implied [[spoiler: losing her powers and [[DeathBySex sealing up her lover's fate]], [[GenerationXerox like it apparently happened to her own mother in the past]].]]. Ultimately, she [[spoiler:betrays the Dragons of Heaven so [[LoveMakesYouEvil she could untie Sorata from his obligations of protecting her]] and thus dying for her]].

* HerHeartWillGoOn: [[spoiler: Specially in the TV series. There was no other way for it to end actually. It also has a side dish of SelfFulfillingProphecy.]]

* VirginPower: In the manga, she loses her powers [[spoiler: upon making love with Sorata]]. It should be noted that [[spoiler: her MissingMom, also a {{Miko}} from Isse Jingun, [[GenerationXerox went through the same process]] after she ran away from Ise with Arashi's father (a university student) and lost her virginity to him.]]

* EmotionlessGirl: Only in appearance. She definitely feels emotion, but her complete disinterest towards human beings makes her look cold.

* PsychicPowers: His schtick.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Although the physically strongest of the Seven Angels, even more than Fuma himself, as well as being able to shatter the ground open with one punch, he is a very kind-hearted man indeed.
* TheBrute: Subverted. Seems fit for the role, given that he is huge, strong and direct, but lacks the cruelty.

* GentleGiant: In both the manga and the TV serie, he's a polite and kind military man who gets long well with animals and with youngsters like Yuzuriha.

* TokenGoodTeammate: He is the only Dragon of Earth who is not evil or psychologically damaged.

* AdventuresInComaland: Spends his life bedridden and in a coma after escaping and attempting to save Hokuto
* AscendedExtra: A roundabout example. In the manga he's among the last Dragons of Earth to appear, so much that TheMovie had Shougo to fill in the blanks. In the anime, however, he is both the narrator ''and'' TheProtagonist of the OVA, telling the viewers how his life has been and how he sees the world.

* InterGenerationalFriendship: Strikes one with [[spoiler: Kotori]], in the dream space. He goes as far as [[spoiler: possessing her body briefly as she dies to take her horrifying physical pain into himself ''and'' have some words with Fuuma, and then he says goodbye to her in the dream scape as she goes to Heaven, becoming the depositary of her FamousLastWords and a tender kiss on the cheek.]]
* LonelyRichKid: Born in a very rich and traditional family, and also kept in isolation by corrupt politicians due to his bad health and ''enormous'' dream seeing powers. Even worse in the OAV, when [[spoiler: for the first time ever he rebels against the GildedCage he's locked in to try dissuading Hokuto from deploying her ThanatosGambit... but he gets shot in the back and can barely witness her death at the hands of Seishirou. And from then on, he's comatose.]]

** TogetherInDeath: What he wants the most is to join Hokuto. [[spoiler: In the TV series, he gets his wish.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: Unlike most Dragons of Earth, he is not evil or ammoral, but quite the opposite.

* AdaptationalBadass: Her level of power depends on the continuity. In the manga and anime, she is just a DreamWalker and can only enter the dreams of others but not influence or see too much beyond, leaving those tasks to Kakyo; in the movie, however, as Kakyou doesn't exist in this continuity, she's a full-fledged DreamWeaver just like Hinoto.

* TeenPregnancy: Possibly. Tohru left her family right after graduating from highschool (and when Tokiko was in junior-high).; Tokiko's memories of the last time they saw each other imply that Tohru either was already pregnant with Kamui or knew she'd have him soon.

* CanonForeigner: Was specially created for the animated film, since Kakyou had not appeared in the manga by that point and Yuuto's water-control powers had still not been revealed/written either. A decade later, he was adopted into CLAMP's canon in ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle''.

-->'''Setsuka''': I love it. I love camellias best when they fall (gets a dreamy look) It falls on the ground.... plop, like a human head. ''I love it''.

* ParentalIncest: As mentioned, her relationship with Seishirou gives a strong vibe of this. She ''does'' say he's the only person she's ever come to care for and love, is implied to have given him a kiss on the lips upon meeting [[spoiler: and in the manga, when she dies at Sei's hand by her own request, they share a LastKiss.]]

* GuardianEntity: In the anime, they are actually shikigami. This has never been implied in the manga to date.

* DisappearedDad: For whatever reason, Kamui's father is not around and apparently hasn't been around since his birth. Nothing else is known about him. Because of his lack of a father, he was shunned by everyone as a child,except the Monous.

* JerkassFacade: Initially so he could drive people away from [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies in order to protect them.]] This was especially true in regards to the Monous. They didn't really buy it, especially TV!Kotori who made lots of effort to approach him despite his standoffish attitude.

* AgentPeacock: He's still gentle, pretty, soft spoken and kind - but as the world is ending, he is forced to fight to preserve it.

* PlayingWithFire: Her signature power.

* ActionGirl / FauxActionGirl: Played with. While she does have power, she typically ends needing being saved by another character even in one-to-one battles. Then again, she is significantly younger than the rest of Dragons of Heaven, so she is much less experienced in the matter.
* AdaptationalWimp: The anime greatly increases her rookie status, taking out a lot of both her maturity and power. Most notably, in the manga she is able to fight Satsuki to a standstill the next battle after the encounter which resulted in [[spoiler:the first Inuki's death]].

* MeetCute: Her first meeting with Kusanagi in the anime and the manga fits this, slow motion, white feathers of fate and all. Also a case of WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic.

* BlowYouAway: His signature power.

* YamatoNadeshiko: A RareMaleExample, and considering that he looks like Fujitaka Kinomoto of ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' ... yeah.

* CompositeCharacter: The water ability was originally from Shogo Asagi in the movie, which was released before Yuto uses it in the manga.

* MakingASplash: His true specialty, which he reveals very late in the manga and admits not having used it in a long time, is water magic. Interestingly, this power was utilized originally by Shogo Asagi in the movie, which was released before Yuto debuted it in the manga; in the same movie, he instead uses his powered daggers as his main weapon.

* AdaptationalBadass: Aside from her technopathy, the anime reveals she's quite athletic and can work some CombatParkour in her bike, something is never hinted in the manga.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Has a yellow SkunkStripe in her hair in the manga and movie, but lacks it in the TV series.

* SelfMadeOrphan: In the TV series, she kills her [[EducationMama Education Papa]] because he controls her life WAY too much, using her powers to arrange his death in a car accident.

* {{Hermaphrodite}} / NoBiologicalSex: He clearly lacks both female breasts and male genitalia.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: He fights by telekinetically controlling his mantle scarf, which he can use to erupt psychic blasts.

** BadassInANiceSuit: Is never seen outside his trademark business suit, whether its in the manga, film, tv show, or official artwork, and said suit goes well with...
** BadassLongcoat: ...the long flowing black trench coat he also constantly wears. The ensemble gives him sinister appearance befitting an assassin.

%%Please also refrain from adding Zero Context examples or removing the comment out symbols without expanding on it.

* SerialKiller: This is his job as the Sakurazukamori; however unlike in ''Tokyo Babylon'', [[ThePirateWhoWontDoAnything he doesn't do much serial killing]] as he ends up fighting some of the Dragons of Heaven instead.

* Professional Killer: As Sakurazukamori, Seishirou wasn't just an assassin, but Japan's top assassin. Apparently the title is passed on to whoever kills the previous holder.

* AffablyEvil: A little like Yuto.

%% ** BadassInANiceSuit
%% ** BadassLongcoat

* CoolShades: Tends to wear some of those in the series, in a departure from his regular ones in ''Tokyo Babylon''.

%% * FourEyesZeroSoul: To a degree, considering his CoolShades.

%% * StraightGay

%% * YaoiGuys: With Subaru.

* BuryYourGays: Tohru, though it winds up being a delayed example.

* {{Onmyodo}}: Leader of the Sumeragi clan, the main onmyodo family in Japan. Naturally, it is his specialty.

* JapanesePronouns: Very polite when she speaks, she refers to almost everyone with the outdated ''-dono'' pronoun.

* JerkassFacade: Initially so he could drive people away from [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies in order to protect them.]] This was specially true in regards to the Monous. They didn't really buy it.
%% * MessianicArchetype

* HeroKiller: He's probably the only character with the highest kill count though this only in the anime and movie. [[spoiler:In the anime, he killed Kotori, Daisuke, Sorata, Nataku and Kamui while in the movie, he killed Kotori (again), Kusanagi, Yuto, Kanoe, Sorata (again) and Arashi]]. In the manga, he only killed two people [[spoiler:(Daisuke and Nataku)]] so far unless you count destroying the entire Ginza area.

* LiteralGenie: Gives people EXACTLY what they wish for, hence BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor. In example, [[spoiler: when he kills Nataku in the manga, he explains that he's just doing it because Nataku wanted to die protecting someone important ''and'' at the hands of the one he loves; later, he doesn't kill Karen because she was the person Nataku died protecting, thus he wants to honor Nataku's own wish.]] Similarly, in the anime [[spoiler: he absorbs Nataku into himself with a similar reasoning, since Nataku wanted to die for him.]]

%% * TheChick

* PersonOfHolding: Only in TheMovie. [[spoiler: She has one of the Shinkens inside her body, and Fuuma murders her via pulling it out of the poor girl's stomach with his bare hands. ''In front of Kamui, Hinoto, Arashi and Sorata, who had just tried to help her run away''.]]
* RapunzelHair: she has wavy brown hair that goes to her hips.

%%* HotBlooded

%% * TallDarkAndSnarky

%% * HalfIdenticalTwins

* ShipperOnDeck: She pairs both Subaru and Seishirou. Sadly, she found out who Seishirou really is... [[spoiler: and she still ships it so hard, she uses her own death to give Seishirou a LastSecondChance.]]

* ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler: Her HeroicSacrifice was actually a desperate gambit from her, to both save Subaru's life and give Seishirou a LastSecondChance. It backfired horribly -- but in the TV series, it soooooorta worked since Subaru ultimately survived.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He'll be a real JerkAss to those who cross him. But if they prove to be a good person, he'll be much nicer and he'll aknowledge it rather humbly.

* JapaneseChristian: She is a devout Catholic as she frequently attended church.

%% ** BadassGay

%% * BuryYourGays

* EyeScream: He lost one of his eyes back in ''Tokyo Babylon which is the reason for the CoolShades.

%% * MommyIssues: Oh, ''Seishirou''.
** OedipusComplex: His relationship with his mom, especially in the CD dramas. No evidence about sexual encounters, thankfully, but the SubText is ''heavy''. [[spoiler: And he DID kiss her on the lips when he killed her, in the manga]].

* SerialKiller: This is his job as the Sakurazukamori; however unlike in ''Tokyo Babylon'', [[ThePirateWhoDontDoAnything he doesn't do much serial killing]] as he ends up fighting some of the Dragons of Heaven instead.

%% * TallDarkAndSnarky
* TorsoWithAView: His signature style of murder, done with his bare hand.

%% * EvilGenius

%%* TheOjou: A huge IceQueen type.

%% * TheStoic

%% ** DeflectorShields
%% ** DreamWalker
%% ** MySignificanceSenseIsTingling

%% ** {{Seers}}
%% ** {{Telepathy}}
%% ** TeleportersAndTransporters

* {{Meganekko}}: Tokiko. It's the only visible difference between the two sisters, to the point that as soon as she removes her glasses Kamui recognizes the resemblance and sees their faces superimposed over each other.

* AdaptedOut: They never appeared in the movie and because of this, Tohru remains as the bearer of the Shinken who died upon giving birth to it.

* ReligiousBruiser ''and'' RetiredBadass: Kyougo is a quite strong fighter ''and'' a Shinto priest. [[spoiler: He's still killed by Nataku]].

-->'''Kyougo:''' Is it for Tohru-san? I knew… from the time you first came to Togakushi. You have always longed for one person.
-->'''Saya:''' Dear…
-->'''Kyougo:''' [[LampshadeHanging You mean Tohru-san when you say that.]]
-->'''Saya:''' Why…?
-->'''Kyougo:''' Why did I marry you? Because I love you. No matter who you longed for.
-->'''Saya:''' I’m… sor…ry…

%%* KillItWithWater
* MakingASplash: His specialty is water powers, and is powerful enough with them to flood a metro station and make a train surf over his water.

* PsychicLink: Has a slight one with Kamui, telepathically speaking to him once [[spoiler:after they both witness Subaru and Seishirou's fatal fight.]]
-->'''Shougo''': "Kamui... here starts the last fight for the Earth!"

%% * AngstySurvivingTwin
%% * GenkiGirl

* ShipperOnDeck: She pairs both Subaru and Seishirou. Sadly, she found out who Seishirou really is.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: If you cross him, he'll be a real JerkAss. But if you prove to be a good person, he'll be much nicer. And if you do the first and then the latter, he'll aknowledge it rather humbly.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/SerialExperimentsLain Lain Iwakura]], both in character and skills. She even resembled Lain when younger.

TheHero of the series is a dark-haired teenager whose destiny is to fight for the eventual fate of Earth: either it is destroyed to be reborn without humanity, either it shall live on as it is. In short, he is a stock [[MessianicArchetype Messiah]].

After living his childhood in Tokyo, making friends with [[EvilCounterpart Fuma]] and his sister [[BarrierMaiden Kotori]], his mother, [[DisposableWoman Toru Magami]], towed him away to Okinawa ([[spoiler:Right around the time their mother Saya gave birth to the first Shinken and died in the process]]) so they could live in peace until [[spoiler: she decided to end her life so she could postpone the impending disasters that Kamui would face and [[IncendiaryExponent died in a fire]].]]

After coming back to Tokyo, he gradually meets the Dragons of Heaven, fighting with Arashi, Sorata and MauveShirt Daisuke, Aoki's nephew. Behaving like a {{Jerkass}} at first, he only does so [[JerkAssFacade in order to keep people away]], knowing beforehand that his fate will be far from all pink, sparkles and flowers. After meeting [[BlindSeer Princess Hinoto]] and eventually bonding with his fellow Dragons, he tries to recuperate his Shinken, an EmpathicWeapon [[spoiler: hidden in the body of Tokiko Magami, his aunt, unbeknownst to everyone.]]

Tropes associated with Kamui Shiro:

* HeroicBSOD: Upon beholding the deaths of [[spoiler: Kotori and Sorata (TV series only)]], the former causing him to enter an AngstComa.

Both Fuma and Kotori, his sister, lived happily in Tokyo and were friends with Kamui until their mother [[DisposableWoman Saya]] died a horrific death upon [[spoiler:giving birth to the first Shinken]]. Fuma then went to High School and became a famed basketball player. Upon meeting Kamui again, he tries to rekindle with him but, since Kamui wants to protect him, his attempts meet an icy response. After Kamui makes his choice, Fuma makes a major FaceHeelTurn and goes to [[FemmeFatale Kanoe]] in order to take his place amongst the Dragons of Earth.

Tropes associated with Fuma Monou:

* TheDreaded: Whenever a Dragon of Heaven faces him, it's a CurbStompBattle. Daisuke and [[spoiler:Sorata (in the anime)]] lost their lives when fighting him though the latter managed to inflict damage on him before he dies. However, Fuuma is just merely granting what they wanted which to protect their loved ones [[HeroicSacrifice at the cost of their lives]]. Subaru and Yuzuriha are nearly closed to death if it weren't for the wishes with the former wanting [[spoiler:to be killed by Seishirou]] and the latter wanting to live.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: In the anime.

Like Fuma, Kotori was scarred for life upon watching the gory death of her mother. However, unlike Fuma and Kamui, she doesn't fight physically. Psychologically/[[IllGirl physically]] fragile and [[NeutralFemale pretty much defenseless]], Kotori lives her life quietly and peacefully in the family shrine, but she snaps and [[GoMadFromTheRevelation breaks]] [[TheOphelia down]] upon [[spoiler:seeing the birth of the second Shinken out of Tokiko Magami's body]].

Tropes associated with Kotori Monou:

* BreakTheCutie: Oh dear. And for worse, [[spoiler: the breaking process comes from ''years ago''. And only finished '''[[KillTheCutie with her death]]'''.]]

* TheOphelia: In the manga, she loses her mind after seeing [[spoiler: the horrific birth of the second Shinken]] and is seen an almost child-like state (unless she's asleep) [[spoiler: until her murder]]. It's subverted in the anime series: [[spoiler: she ''does'' break down and falls in a coma, but her subconscious remains more or less sane [[AdventuresInComaland and this lets her]] pull her DreamWeaver stunts undisturbed until she's murdered while still comatose.]]

* RapunzelHair: she has wavy brown hair that gowes to her hips.
* ShrinkingViolet: Though not to FragileFlower degree.

The [[TheBigGuy tall]], upbeat, [[PluckyComicRelief goofy]] [[TheLancer Lancer]] of the Dragons of Heaven talks with a distinctive [[TheIdiotFromOsaka Kansai]] accent.

Despite being taken from his parents at an early age and [[spoiler: destined to die for the woman he loves]], he constantly acts friendly, generous and protective, especially towards Kamui and his initially [[EmotionlessGirl unresponsive]] crush, Arashi. Raised and trained by Buddhist monks in the Koya shrine, he primarily uses thunder and light-based attacks as well as some holy magic.

He eventually meets his fate in both the anime and the film, [[spoiler: to protect his beloved Arashi]]. The manga also hints a similar end for him, as he's last seen [[spoiler: trying to confront Hinoto on his own, without knowing she's been taken over by her EnemyWithin.]]

Tropes associated with Sorata Arisugawa:

* BromanticFoil: He's one to Kamui in the early parts of the manga, right before it went FromBadToWorse.

* ChivalrousPervert: Flirty, kinda irresponsible, has a bit of a roving eye for ladies ([[BiTheWay and Kamui]]). But he's also a loyal friend and an effective fighter, and he genuinely cares for everyone around him and specially his dear Arashi.

%% * PluckyComicRelief: An effective one.

[[PersonOfHolding summon her sword from her left hand]]. She initially coldly rejects the rather forward propositions of Sorata but, like Kamui, [[DefrostingIceQueen she gradually warms up to him]] and reciprocates. But consummating their love implied [[spoiler: losing her powers and [[DeathBySex sealing up her lover's fate]], [[GenerationXerox like it apparently happened to her own mother in the past]].]]. Ultimately, she performs [[spoiler: a massive FaceHeelTurn so [[LoveMakesYouEvil she could untie Sorata from his obligations of protecting her]] and thus dying for her]].

In the anime, [[spoiler: she goes to the Dragons of Earth of her own will]] but in the manga [[spoiler: Dark Hinoto's [[MoreThanMindControl machinations]] are the cause of her betrayal]]. [[spoiler: In the anime, however, she comes back to the Dragons of Heaven after Sorata dies for her anyway.]] Her terminal fate is different in the film than in the TV series: [[spoiler: Sorata fulfills his destiny and dies for her in battle, but then Fuma kills her too]].

Tropes associated with Arashi Kishu:

Unlike the other Dragons of Heaven, he is rather reluctant to join the group and mostly goes on his own story arc that is actually the end of the one he started during ''Manga/TokyoBabylon''. Nevertheless, he significantly helped out during Kamui's massive AngstComa and succeeded in healing his soul and bringing him back, becoming a sort-of BigBrotherMentor to him from then on. His [[FinalBattle final showdown]] with Seishirou Sakurazuka leads to tons of HoYay and FoeYay. In battle, he uses a mix of soul magic and arcana that he channels in special paper cards.

His end is very different, depending on the media. In the Manga, [[spoiler: he inherits the powers and responsibility of the Sakurazukamori]]; in the film [[spoiler: both die]] and in the TV-series [[spoiler:their relationship is established and he ends up in a catatonic state for having killed his lover, but he ultimately gets better]].

Tropes associated with Subaru Sumeragi

%% * AngstySurvivingTwin:

* SmokingIsCool: Subverted: When 'Seishirou' does it, it's cool. When Subaru does it, he gets lectured about the health risks -- by [[DeadpanSnarker Seishirou]] himself, nonetheless.
* StraightGay: Just like his [[NotSoDifferent lover]], he has no flamboyant CampGay mannerisms.

* TookALevelInCynic: Back in ''Manga/TokyoBabylon'' he was an AllLovingHero [[UsedToBeASweetKid sweet child]] who was willing to risk death to save (often {{Jerkass}}) strangers]] he never knew personally. After the tragic events of that manga, [[TookALevelInJerkass Subaru has became quite cynical and hesitant to to suffer for the sake of others]] (especially strangers out to do harm). However [[JerkWithAHeartofGold he's still willing to fight to defend the weak and innocent]]; he's just no longer a [[AllLovingHero willing martyr]] that he was in ''Tokyo Babylon''.

A devoted Catholic [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold call-girl]], Karen appears sporadically at first before taking a more active role in the plot. She appears as a redhead bombshell who always smiles and supports the Dragons of the Heaven as much as she can.[[PlayingWithFire Gifted with pyrotechnics]], she is usually aloof towards everyone despite her benevolent disposition and her sensitivity. She forms an [[UnrequitedLove unrequited crush]] on Seiichiro Aoki and never acts on it out of respect for his wife Shimako and child Yuuka.

In the anime she eventually [[spoiler: sacrifices herself to save Seiichiro from Yuto but [[TakingYouWithMe dying with their enemy]] ]], while she still lives on in the manga, and in the movie [[spoiler: she also pulls a TakingYouWithme -- but with Shougo Asagi instead.]]

Tropes associated with Karen Kasumi:

* OddFriendship - ParentalSubstitute: Becomes something of a mother figure to [[spoiler: Nataku]] in the manga, apparently because [[spoiler: she looks like the mother of his past self, Kazuki.]] [[spoiler: And he ends up dying for her.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: Attempted [[spoiler: and ultimately consummated]], with [[spoiler: Yuto in the TV series and with Shogo in the film.]] In the first case [[spoiler: it looked like the trope ''would'' be averted with Yuuto barely escaping and Karen dying next to Aoki... but it was ultimately played straight, with Yuuto perishing soon after his escape.]]

A petite, [[TheIngenue fresh and naive]] 14 years-old girl that often lightens up the mood and is never seen without her spirit dog, Inuki, that is invisible to regular humans.

In the film, [[spoiler: she dies along with Yuto and Kusanagi, in Kamui's arms]]. In the anime, [[spoiler: both Kusanagi and her survive after Kusanagi's HeelFaceTurn and it is hinted that they remain together]].

Tropes associated with Yuzuriha Nekoi:

* PluckyGirl: So much that [[spoiler: a new Inuki is born]] ''and'' [[spoiler: Fuuma refuses to kill her]] specifically thanks to her strong will.

The least seen member of the Dragons of Heaven, thirty-something Seiichiro Aoki is the oldest of them. Married with a child, he is also a Wind Master who tutored his nephew [[MauveShirt Daisuke Saiki]].

After discreetly and amiably divorcing his wife Shimako in order to protect her and their child Yuuka from the disaster of the upcoming battles, he works as a journalist and manga editor in his daily life. He bounds specifically with Karen upon interviewing her for a manga and comes to help her when she goes in his stead to battle Yuto Kigai, [[spoiler: alas to no avail]]. He uses his power over wind in battle.

He appears as a tall, handsome brown-haired man in his mid-30's with glasses. [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Does that physical description look familiar?]] In the movie [[spoiler: he dies in a TakingYouWithMe fashion alongside Nataku]], but he's still alive in other media.

* YamatoNadeshiko: A RareMaleExample, and considering that his design spawned [[Manga/CardcaptorSakura the most straight-up CLAMP example of one]]... yeah.

A [[BewareTheNiceOnes very mannerly]] and well-groomed blond Public Service clerk, Yuto is one of the most [[AffablyEvil amoral]] [[DeadpanSnarker and cynical]] of the Dragons of Earth. Not much is known about him except that he is pretty [[CardCarryingVillain happy to work for the Dragons of Earth]]. Additionally, he playfully flirts with his protegee Satsuki and sleeps regularly with Kanoe. In battle, he uses a long rope with a dagger at the tip that he uses [[WhipItGood like a whip]].

His end is pretty similar in each of the three media. [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath And none of them are pretty]]. (Except the manga, that is. For now, at least...)

Tropes associated with Yuto Kigai:

* MakingASplash: His true specialty, which he reveals very late in the manga and admits not having used it in a long time, is water magic. (Interestingly, this power was utilized originally by Shogo Asagi in the movie, which was released before Yuto debuted it in the manga; in the same movie, he instead uses his powered daggers as his main weapon.)

Like Subaru, Seishirou is not actually close to his fellows and pretty much follows his own path. However, his role in the awakening of Kamui and Fuma was determinant. He is also the murderer of Hokuto Sumeragi, Subaru's sister and holds an [[OedipusComplex interesting]] relationship with his mom, Setsuka. He mostly takes on Subaru, his former lover and current ArchNemesis, and uses an evil version of his powers which often includes CherryBlossoms.

He dies [[spoiler: telling Subaru [[DyingDeclarationOfLove his true feelings for him]]. Or so we suspect.]]

Tropes associated with Seishirou Sakurazuka:

[[TheOjou Born in a very wealthy family]], she manifested her powers [[CreepyChild at an]] [[ChildProdigy early age]] and can connect herself directly to computers by letting them invade her body with their cables. She spends most of her time connected to her giant PC, the Beast, that she got from Kanoe and that [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul stripped her from the last remnants of interest in humans]]. She thoroughly lectures Yuzuriha upon battling her and [[spoiler: kills her spirit dog when she cannot give her a satisfactory answer]]. She also develops feelings for Yuto who is amused by her crush, even though he openly sleeps with their shared boss Kanoe and doesn't really encourage her advances. This drives the Beast [[GreenEyedMonster mad with envy]]. She uses the Beast for reconnaissance purposes and uses him to control electric cables as offensive weapons.

In the movie and anime, Satsuki dies upon trying to help Yuto (against Fuuma in the first, against Seiichiro and Karen in the second), impaled by the many cables of the Beast who [[IfICantHaveYou refuses to lose her to anyone]].

Tropes associated with Satsuki Yatoji:

A [[BarbieDollAnatomy genderless]], cybernetic clone of the dead granddaughter of a local scientist, Nataku has pretty much [[FlatCharacter no personality]] other than that of a lost child. [[spoiler: Or so we're led to believe.]] He appears as your usual white-haired {{Bishonen}}.

He is first seen as being sustained in a glass chamber. After heading out to steal the Shinken from Kyogo Monou, he eventually joins the Dragons of Earth. Upon seeing just how much Fuma ressembles his father (the son of his creator), he immediately takes him as a father figure and loves him unconditionally. He fights several times against Kamui, Yuzuriha and [[spoiler: a [[HeelFaceTurn switched]] Kusanagi]], and in the manga he also fights [[spoiler: Karen and Aoki]]. He mainly uses [[ClothFu fabric tendrils in battle.]]

He eventually dies upon merging with Fuma and becoming part of him to heal him [[spoiler: from the damage done by Sorata upon defending Arashi]], in the anime. He and Aoki kill each other in battle in the film, and in the manga [[spoiler: he dies at Fuma's hands while shielding Karen - partially because he interpretes His Only Wish as partly dying by Fuuma's own hand ("the hand of the person he loves the most aka 'his father figure") and partly protecting Karen ("the person most important to him aka his mother figure", due to Nataku and Karen [[OddFriendship having sorta bonded right before his death]].)]]

Tropes associated with Nataku:

In the anime, [[KnightInShiningArmor he protects Yuzuriha from his fellows]] various times and ultimately [[DefectingForLove switches side]]. In the manga, she confesses to him, and he accepts her feelings, though he doesn't openly return them.

In the film, he is [[AxCrazy the most aggressive and violent of all]] and is nothing more than a BloodKnight who simply wants to kill the Dragons of Heaven. His relationship with Yuzuriha doesn't exist. He ends up dying ''bloodily'' at the hands of [[spoiler: the recently awakened Fuuma.]]

Tropes associated with Kusanagi Shiyu:

A frail and comatose guy that seldom comes to his senses in the real world and spends most of his time in [[AdventuresInComaland Comaland]] where he dreams about the future, a constant sad look on his face. A dreamseer like Hinoto, he was sequestrated for a long time by [[StrawmanPolitical ill-intentioned politicians]].

During one of his dreams, he meets Hokuto, Subaru's twin sister and falls in love with her. [[spoiler: Upon seeing her eventual fate in his dreams, in the anime he breaks out of his coma and tries to save her but is shot by his jailers and put in a never ending coma.]] He also befriends [[spoiler: Kotori]] in the dream space, [[spoiler: comforting her in her last minutes of life, possessing her fatally injured body so she won't be in pain, and then watching her soul go off to Heaven]])

In the manga, he is convinced to join the Dragons of Earth by Fuma after [[spoiler: trying to prevent the murder of Kotori.]] In the anime, [[spoiler: Fuma coerces him to manipulate Hinoto's dreams so as to mislead her predictions. But he eventually [[HeelFaceTurn turns on Fuma]] on the urgings of Kotori and Hokuto. He eventually dies peacefully in his sleep and leaves for Heaven with his beloved Hokuto.]]

Tropes associated with Kakyo Kuzuki:

A [[BlindSeer blind]] and crippled dreamseer, she is actually in charge of the whole political life of Tokyo and can see the future in her dreams. She appears as an [[EvilAlbino albino]] WomanInWhite that possesses a wide range of psychic abilities and some power over Shikigami magic.

In the manga, [[spoiler: Hinoto is [[WhatTheHellHero confronted directly by Sorata about her actions]], yet the outcome is (still) not clear.]] In the TV-series, [[spoiler: she commits suicide in order to stop her Dark Self from interfering with the fate of the Seven Seals]]. In the film, [[spoiler: Hinoto says goodbye to Kamui and teleports him to the Tokyo Tower so he can duel Fuma, then lets herself die as the Diet building collapses around her, Kanoe's lifeless body in her arms.]]

Tropes associated with Hinoto:

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: In the film, she could've escaped from the collapsing Diet Building but chooses to not do so, saving Kamui's life and entrusting him with the rest of the Dragons of the Heaven's mission before she's crushed to death by the rubble falling on her, holding Kanoe's lifeless body in her arms.]]

The Seven Angels's counterpart to Hinoto is actually her younger sister. She is the one responsible for bringing all of the Dragons of Earth together and helps them in their mission by providing them with headquarters and material. She is a tall, dark-haired FemmeFatale with the customary [[FemmeFatalons long nails]] to hint at her evil, and she works as the head secretary of the Diet (Japanese Congress).

In the film, [[spoiler:Fuma kills her upon entering the FinalBattle, and she dies in a devastated Hinoto's arms while explaining her reasons.]]. In the TV series, [[spoiler:she lives on and mourns her sister]]. In the manga, [[spoiler: she is killed by Hinoto]].

Tropes associated with Kanoe:

* BigBad: Initially, she is the nearest thing to a Bid Bad the show has, as she helps and leads the Dragons of Earth. Later, however, the job is passed to [[spoiler:Fuuma]].

Tropes associated with Tohru and Tokiko:

* DisposableWoman: Both of them.

* SacrificialLamb: Again, ''both''.

Fuuma and Kotori's parents, who own and handle the Tokagushi Shinto shrine. Despite looking HappilyMarried, they actually got together to fulfill their destinies rather than for romantic love, and the reasonings behind said destinies are not exactly simple either.

Tropes associated with Kyogo and Saya:

-->[[spoiler: '''Kyougo''']]: "[[spoiler: Fuuma]], you... you are [[spoiler: Kamui]]'s..."
* {{Gorn}}: How [[spoiler: [[PersonOfHolding Saya]] ]] died, [[spoiler: by being ''dismembered'' while "giving birth" to the Shinken. In the manga, it happens in the backyard of the shrine; in the anime, it's during an urgent surgery.]]

* HideYourLesbians: Saya was in love with Tohru. She married Kyougo to fulfill her destiny. [[YouCantFightFate The]] ''[[YouCantFightFate three]]'' [[YouCantFightFate knew it]], and Saya even apologized to Kyougo for it since he ''did'' genuinely love her but she simply couldn't love him back in the same way - [[spoiler: right before she died]]. Tohru then left for Okinawa with little Kamui on tow because [[MyGreatestFailure she felt so guilty]] that she couldn't face the Monous afterwards.

* SacrificialLamb and StuffedIntoTheFridge: BOTH of them.

Tropes associated with Shougo Asagi:

Tropes associated with Keiichi Segawa:

Subaru's twin sister, whose death in ''Manga/TokyoBabylon'' [[SacrificialLion completely changed the turn of Subaru and Seishirou's destinies.]] [[spoiler: She also is revealed to be Kakyou's first and only love.]]

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Yuzuriha-Nekoi-3_-_Copie.jpg

* TheSpock: A quite classical example.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Nataku-2.JPG

He is first seen as being sustained in a glass chamber. After heading out to steal the Shinken from Kyogo Monou, he eventually joins the Dragons of Earth. Upon seeing just how much Fuma ressembles his father (the son of his creator), he immediately takes him as a father figure and loves him unconditionally.

* NoblewomansLaugh: A truly scary one.

* PosthumousCharacter: Tohru.
