22
23	Ratatoskr (ラタトスク, Ratatosuku) is an organization created for the purpose of saving Spirits, the cause of spacequakes, through peaceful mean without killing the Spirits. As stated by Kotori, "The organization called <Ratatoskr> was an organization created for Shido's sake."
24
25	The organization known as <Ratatoskr> is only known (probably) by the upper level of the government and high ranking military officials. The <Ratatoskr> Command center is on the airship <Fraxinus>, while their headquarters is in an unstated location. Shido's younger sister, Kotori, is the commander of Ratatoskr.

33	!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JojiNakata (Japanese), Creator/HikaruMidorikawa (Japanese, young adult), Creator/MakotoKoichi (Japanese, child), Ed Blaylock (English, season 2), Creator/JohnSwasey (English, season 3-4), Creator/HumbertoSolorzano (Latin-American Spanish, season 2), Andrés García (Latin-American Spanish, season 3-4)
34	[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elliot_baldwin_woodman_anime.png]]
35
36	The founder and benefactor of Ratatoskr Machinery, Mr. Woodman appears in Volume 8 to interrogate the captain of the ''Arbatel''. He's said to use an unconventional method of communication and conversation, and is revealed to be one of the three founding members of [=DEM=] (the other two being current DEM managing director Isaac Westcott, and said director's secretary, Ellen Mira Mathers), and even worked alongside Westcott before the First Spacequake 30 years prior to the beginning of the story that made him defect from the DEM and start his own organization.
37	----
38	* TheAce: An extremely powerful Wizard. To the point he was the first Wizard created after the Realizer was invented and taught Ellen how to use it in the first place.
39	* AntiAntiChrist: Elliot's goal is to prevent the world and humanity from falling into Westcott's evil hands.
40	* ArchEnemy: Ellen despises him for betraying DEM and wants to be the one who kills him. [[spoiler:Volume 18 implies a bit of a WomanScorned.]]
41	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: His relationship with Westcott even up to [[spoiler:the latter's death in Volume 19]].
42	* BigGood: Kotori, and by extension the rest of the ''Fraxinus''[='=] crew, answers to him, and he opposes Westcott's plans.
43	* CastFromLifespan: [[spoiler:His CR-Unit "Wodan" physically regresses him to his prime and allows him to defeat [[WorldsStrongestWarrior Ellen]], but he burns up his remaining lifespan and dies soon afterwards (though Shido would rewrite the timeline and he didn’t end up using it again).]]
44	* DefectorFromDecadence: Left the DEM to lay the foundations for what would eventually become Ratatoskr. He outright states that Westcott is his main reason for doing so, although Woodman seems to be still on friendly terms with him. [[spoiler:What he doesn't mention until Volume 14 is the specifics regarding the First Spacequake that made him leave. The other reason for him leaving [=DEM=] was that he, Isaac, and Ellen, were all responsible for the summoning of the First Spirit, and by extension, the first Spacequake and all the death and destruction it caused. Seeing the effects of that quake was the other reason for his departure from DEM... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking as was falling in love with the First Spirit]].]]
45	* FountainOfYouth: [[spoiler:Being able to transform into his youthful form to fight Ellen in Volume 17]].
46	* GoodCounterpart: To Isaac Ray Peram Westcott. While Westcott seeks to torment and use Spirits for his own benefit, Woodman founded Ratatoskr to protect Spirits.
47	* LoveAtFirstSight: He claims that he fell in love with the First Spirit at first sight.
48	* LoveRedeems: After he fell in love with the First Spirit, Woodman abandoned DEM and formed Ratatoskr with the goal of protecting the Spirits and preventing Westcott from achieving his "goal".
49	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: His last name "Woodman" likely comes from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Robert_Woodman William Robert Woodman]], one of the founders of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
50	* TechnicalPacifist: Elliot is very different from his [[EvilFormerFriend evil former friend]], Isaac Westcott, who also serves as an [[EvilCounterpart evil counterpart]]. While Westcott is a depraved person who seeks to cause war, death, destruction and chaos as possible, Elliot, on the other hand, is a person who is reluctant to kill, seeks to maintain peace, freedom and happiness of the people without sacrifices.

57
58	Mr. Woodman's secretary, and Ellen Mira Mathers' younger sister. Appears alongside the former in Volume 8.
59	----
60	* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Ellen's Cain. Both are secretaries to their organisations' respective chairmans. In Volume 8 Chapter 5, it's hinted that she and Ellen were already antagonistic to each other prior to the series.
61	--> "There is no problem. I understand my sister and I won’t understand each other from years ago."
62	* GoodCounterpart: To her older sister; Ellen Mira Mathers. She's the secretary for the BigGood Elliot while Ellen is the [[TheDragon secretary]] to the BigBad Westcott.
63	* RedOniBlueOni: The calm and collected Blue to her older sister Ellen's prideful and arrogant Red.
64	* SatelliteCharacter: She's largely defined by her devotion to Elliot, even admitting that she left DEM simply because he did.
65	* SexySecretary: Unlike Ellen, she rocks the look without AdaptationalAttractiveness, with glasses to boot.
66	* SiblingYinYang: Unlike her arrogant and talkative sister Ellen, Karen is stoic and silent.
67	* TheStoic: Unlike her talkative older sister, she's silent most of the time, and the few times she speaks are curt one-liners with an indifferent tone to them.
68	* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks very similar to her sister Ellen.

75	* GreekChorus: Their main role is to provide commentary during Shido's dates with Spirits.
76	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: They're a group of odd people that want to help save the Spirits and possess good technical skills, but have questionable dating advice.
77	* ShipperOnDeck: Their job is to give dating advise to Shido when he has to date a Spirit. They even vote which pickup line Shido needs to use during his date.

91	[[quoteright:248:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reine2.png]]
92
93	The analysis officer onboard the ''Fraxinus''. She never gets Shido's name right, and his name is the only one which receives this treatment from her. Becomes Shido's assistant homeroom teacher and physics teacher early on, to facilitate his [[TrainingFromHell training]]. Always looks sleepy.
94	----
95	* TheAce: The Reine Holiday short story reveals that Reine can play the violin better than a professional, conduct better medical treatment than even the official Ratatoskr medical officer, act as a translator, and even pilot a plane. Kotori even notes that she has no idea where Reine obtained these skills to begin with.
96	* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Reine is actually a physically older clone of Mio [[HiveMind who shares her will]] like the Nibelcole, created to facilitate the distribution of Sephira Crystals.]]
97	* TheComicallySerious: Her tone never changes (in no small part due to drowsiness), and she has quirks like spontaneously collapsing and her pathological inability to get Shidou’s name right.
98	* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Reine always has her eyes half-closed. Combined with her ExhaustedEyeBags, she looks like someone with chronic insomnia. According to Reine herself, she hasn't slept in 30 years.
99	* ExhaustedEyeBags: One of three indications that makes her claims of not having slept in 30 years seemingly credible, with the others being putting unreasonable amounts of sugar in her coffee and downing an entire bottle of sleeping pills.
100	* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are ''plenty'' of hints implicating [[spoiler:her secret identity long before before her official reveal as the Phantom in Volume 16 and Mio Takamiya in Volume 17.]]
101	** [[spoiler:Right after Shido goes unconscious after meeting Tohka for the first time, a mysterious voice can be heard in his dream. Reine was treating him when Shido woke up immediately after.]]
102	** [[spoiler:Reine claimed that she hadn't slept for 30 years when she appears to be in her 20s, coinciding with the year when the First Spirit appeared.]]
103	** [[spoiler:She was insistent on addressing Shido as Shin in-person, as he originally was named Shin prior to his reincarnation]].
104	** [[spoiler:She also downed an entire bottle of sleeping pills right after the above statement to no effect. This later becomes a subtle foreshadowing when Kotori revealed that Reine had administered fifty times the recommended dose of tranquilizer for her date and reassures that Spirits wouldn't die from drug overdoses.]]
105	** [[spoiler:When Phantom is first seen conversing with Kurumi, she has full knowledge about her 12th Bullet which was never revealed to anyone.]]
106	** [[spoiler:When Origami confronted Phantom after traveling to the past, she noted that her voice sounded familiar. Similarly, Shido confirmed that Phantom's voice was indeed the same as the mysterious voice back in Volume 1]]
107	** [[spoiler:While Phantom doesn't speak in either of the two seasons of the anime or in the movie, she does speak in each of the extracanonical games that she's in, and it's in those games that reveal that she shares her voice actress with Reine.]]
108	** [[spoiler:She had mentioned that she had a lover when she was inquired by Tamae near the end of Reine Marriage Hunt short story, and likewise also revealed it to the Spirits when they are purchasing chocolate ingredients for Valentine's Day in Volume 16. Interestingly, she had the intent to give Shido a chocolate gift herself, but refrained from doing so because he would be full from the chocolate received from them.]]
109	* GodWasMyCoPilot: For most of the series, Reine is Kotori's coworker and Shido's assistant homeroom teacher, but doesn't seem to be special in any way [[spoiler:until she's revealed to be the alter ego of the First Spirit, a being of pure magic that's powerful enough to easily take down the Spirits in the main cast.]]
110	* HairColorSpoiler: [[spoiler:Kurumi's flashback in the fourth anime season shows Mio Takamiya has the same hair color as Reine, which gives away there's a connection between them before TheReveal.]]
111	* HaremNanny: While Ratatoskr in general is dedicated to helping Spirits, Reine is seen particularly often helping them adjust to everyday life. One noteworthy example is calming down the Spirits, who'd been [[FountainOfYouth de-aged by Natsumi]] and were pestering Shido like the children they now resembled, quickly accomplishing what Shido had failed to do on his own. She then has an odd response when he compares her to a mother.
112	* HiddenDepths: There's something odd about how she didn't get injured when she and Origami were attacked by a Bandersnatch robot... [[spoiler:Volume 16 reveals what it is by showing she and Phantom are the same person. Then Volume 18 tops that as she is actually Takamiya Mio's doppelganger and older alter ego.]]
113	* HyperCompetentSidekick: She's the go-to person for helping Shido out, and will often do things necessary to help him in his mission to seal the Spirits powers. Though Kotori is on the ground occasionally, Reine is often the only one who provides support for Shido on the ground, while the rest of the Fraxinus crew provide typical MissionControl support aboard the ship.
114	* IconicItem: Reine always has a small teddy bear covered in stitches with her wherever she goes, either in the pocket of her outfit or in her cleavage if she has no where else to put it. [[spoiler:Where she got it is revealed in Volume 17, where Shido had won it for her during her first date with him in the nearby town 30 years ago and has kept it fondly since.]]
115	* InSeriesNickname: Shin for Shido. She doesn't seem to have any problem getting anyone else's name right. [[spoiler: In Volume 17, it's revealed that it's the name she uttered of Shido's name when he first introduced himself to her 30 years ago]].
116	* TheInsomniac: Reine claims that she hasn't had any decent sleep for ''30 years'', after consuming ''an entire bottle full of sleeping pills'', saying they weren't effective enough. Even Shido wondered how it doesn't kill her. [[http://web.archive.org/web/20080513061843/http:/www.thanhniennews.com/features/?catid=10&newsid=12673 Might be]] TruthInTelevision. [[spoiler:It's because she is actually the First Spirit, who had been working tirelessly to turn countless girls into Spirits in order to purify the Sephira Crystals. She also has {{Catapult Nightmare}}s about Shinji's death if she ever tries to get some shut-eye.]]
117	* IntergenerationalFriendship: She's Kotori's BestFriend, even though the latter, mature as she is in her black ribbons, is barely into her teenage years.
118	* MarshmallowHell: Gave Shido this in order to calm down in Episode 10 after he became anxious unto the other people involved in the battle. It worked, almost like it hadn't been the first time she had done it. Kotori actively shoves him into Reine's chest in the first volume to gauge his compatibility with women, as well as early in Rinne Utopia to calm him down. Shido's embarrassed, but Reine's perfectly fine with it if it helps.
119	* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:Has the number zero hidden in her name (as light novels are written vertically, 村'''雨令'''音, 雨 + 令 = 零, meaning zero). Ends up being more meaningful when it's revealed she is Phantom ''and'' the First Spirit's alter ego.]]
120	* MissionControl: Zigzagged. She is occasionally aboard the Fraxinus, but of all the crew, she's the one that's most often in the field working with Shido, such as when he ran into the Yamai twins while they couldn't contact the Fraxinus due to interference from DEM.
121	* OlderAlterEgo: [[spoiler:She is a doppelgänger of the First Spirit Mio, who is noted to look younger.]]
122	* OnlySaneEmployee: Considering her commander's age and attitude, her vice-commander's masochism, and the rest of the crew's incredible incompetence. And even she is NotSoAboveItAll at times, though it's more downplayed for her.
123	* ShipperOnDeck: In one episode, she plays therapist to Tohka to help her with her feelings for Shido.
124	* SpitTake: A ''{{delayed\|reaction}}'' one, when she first sees Shido and Tohka go on a date.
125	* TheStoic: She rarely expresses emotion or energy, and most of her interactions are deadpan. Kotori even admits she had never seen her angry before after she shows rage to what DEM did to Mana's body.
126	* SweetTooth: She puts mountains of sugar into her coffee (partly to stave off her drowsiness), and Kotori once bribed her with an offer of 10 limited edition cream puffs.
127	* TeamMom: She acts as a surrogate mom towards some characters, mostly Shido, Tohka, and Yoshino. This is especially shown in the ValentinesDayEpisode, where she helps the girls make chocolate for Shido and talks about her own love life to advise them.
128	* VictoriasSecretCompartment: When she isn't wearing something with pockets, Reine carries her teddy bear in her cleavage.
129	* YoungerThanSheLooks: Reine looks really young for someone who's been more than 30 years old. Then again, her most noticeable features would be her baggy and sleepy eyes.

133	!! Vice-Commander Kyouhei Kannazuki
134	!!! '''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (Japanese), Creator/JMichaelTatum (English), Raymundo Armijo (Latin-American Spanish, season 2-3), Rolando de la Fuente (Latin-American Spanish, season 4)
135	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyouhei_kannazuki.png]]
136
137	Vice-commander of the ''Fraxinus'', and a big masochist. When the crew has to make DatingSim-esque choices, his choices, made purely to fuel his masochism, are the ones being shot down the most.
138
139	Despite his masochism, he's revealed to be ''very'' good at using the Realizer, which really came in handy when the ''Fraxinus'' got attacked. With this skill, he was the former ace and captain of the AST squad when Ryouko was new to the team. He defected to Ratatoskr to find a suitable master he can serve under, and he found one in Kotori. However, he left a wish to be reinstated in case he changed his mind.
140	----
141	* ButtMonkey: Kotori gives him the short end of the stick every single time, mainly due to his hammy and perverted demeanour.
142	* TheCaptain: Formerly of the AST when Ryouko was just a recruit. Also, when Kotori places the ''Fraxinus'' under his command, he shows just how capable he is at directing the crew.
143	* ChivalrousPervert: He's quite dedicated to his commander Kotori, but at the same time has no qualms declaring his fantasies about her, which puts him on the receiving end of her sadistic streak.
144	* ComedicLolicon: He's very lustful toward little girls like Kotori, while expressing disgust toward large breasts. [[spoiler:He actually got into a relationship with Tamae mostly because she has a childlike figure while legally an adult.]]
145	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He acts extremely perverted, but when push comes to shove, he's a very competent commander and Kotori trusts him to lead if she's ever absent, as seen during the ''Arbatel'''s attack on the ''Fraxinus''.
146	* DudeLooksLikeALady: He even admits to having crossdressed before.
147	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Due to his DatingSim-esque choices influenced by his own desires and tendencies to make things worse (Such as giving Shido a line to complement [[ACupAngst Kotori]] how well her swimsuit top looks on her chest.), he is seen as useless by the crew. When Kotori leaves for a meeting and leaves him in command, the rest of crew insists on her coming back as soon as possible. In fact when Kotori checks in with the crew and discovers something is wrong, her first assumption is that he's pissing everyone off. When he's seemingly killed in the Kotori Mystery short story, everyone aboard the ''Fraxinus'' admits to not liking him while trying to establish an alibi, and the reason Kotori thought he was dead in the first place was because Reine checked his pulse and said "Unfortunately"; she meant "Unfortunately, he's still alive".
148	* LargeHam: He's the most bombastic member of the ''Fraxinus''[='=] crew, openly admitting his masochist tendencies and his desire to be punished by Kotori. Surprisingly, he shows scant moments of analytic calmness when the situation calls for it.
149	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: His shoulder-length hair goes in hand with [[DudeLooksLikeALady his effeminate looks]].
150	* NoodleIncident: While in the AST, he gave his subordinates {{Cool And Unusual Punishment}}s. According to Ryouko, punishment for first timers was having to cosplay, second timers was having to cosplay ''and'' step on him. We don't find out what the punishment for third timers was; all we know is that it's one Ryouko ''really'' doesn't want to remember.
151	* NumberTwo: To Kotori aboard the ''Fraxinus''.
152	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In the filler HotSpringsEpisode, when he's trying to convince Kotori to go to the hot spring to stay in top condition. Kotori doesn't buy it, of course, and makes him dig a hole and refill it over and over as punishment. As a BrickJoke, he digs up a ''hot spring'' at the end of the episode.
153	-->'''Kyouhei''': I have no idea what you mean. I have no desire to install several surveillance cameras there. Would someone like me actually fill a hot springs with lenses so I could stare at every inch of that hard, tight body at my discretion, especially that backside?
154	* TooKinkyToTorture: He might as well exist as Kotori's punching bag. Though he's not too big on the idea of castration or death.
155	* TranquilFury: During the fight with the DEM ship in episode 4 of season 2, while he throws out some perverted dialogue, he is so eerily calm and issues orders so specific that the rest of the bridge gets a bit nervous. The fact that said orders also help them defeat the enemy ship helps.

She underwent a procedure to strengthen her body, making her a Wizard, and in exchange has only 10 years to live. In Volume 6, she is revealed to have defected to Ratatoskr, having been informed of this truth.
238	----
239	* ActionGirl: She's the second strongest Wizard in DEM (though she admits that [[spoiler:Artemisia would have outranked her]]) and her skill with Realizers is ranked among the world's top five. She's stated to have killed at least one spirit (although it later turns out to be one of Kurumi's lesser clones), and saves Origami from Bayley's group in season 2 singlehandedly.
240	* BadassAdorable: As expected of a middle school-aged girl who is also a trained soldier.
241	* BigSisterInstinct: {{Inverted\|Trope}}. Much like Kotori, Mana is dedicated to protecting her older brother Shido.
242	* ChildSoldier: Par for the course for most Wizards recruited by the AST/DEM, Mana was trained as a soldier to fight Spirits from a young age.
243	* ClingyJealousGirl: She holds a lot of pride over being Shido's biological sister, and argues with Kotori that her blood bond matters more than the time Shido has actually spent living with the Itsukas.
244	* DefectorFromDecadence: In Volume 6, she defects from DEM after learning that they sacrificed her lifespan to enhance her strength as a Wizard.
245	* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Her Japanese voice actress, Misato, is one fourth of the band "sweet ARMS", which performs all opening songs.
246	* TheGlomp: She is fond giving bear hugs to Shido.
247	* HeelFaceTurn: She defects to the Ratatoskr's side after finding out what DEM did to her body.
248	* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:The procedure that reduced Mana's lifespan was undone, thus saving her, not by Shido, the AST, DEM, or even Ratatoskr, but by ''[[ArchEnemy Kurumi]]'', of all people.]]
249	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Mana has no memory of her past and only knows Shido is her brother because of a photo of their childhood. It's presumed DEM sealed away her memories.
250	* LongLostRelative: She is Shido's biological sister, but was separated from him until recently and Shido didn't even know of her existence beforehand. [[spoiler:Turns out she's the really sister of Shinji, Shido's previous incarnation. 30 years ago, Mana was kidnapped by Westcott and the then-newly founded DEM, who used her against Shinji in exchange for Mio (the First Spirit). Shinji himself is gunned down by Westcott when the former tried to escape with Mio, who then absorbed Shinji in her body so he'll be reborn as Shido.]]
251	* MercyKill: After seeing Bayley's sorry state after exerting herself too much just to pilot the Scarlet Licorice, Mana reluctantly kills her, but not before [[LetThemDieHappy falsely reassuring]] that Westcott will acknowledge her.
252	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:When hearing Artemisia was helping Westcott and Ellen, she's visibly shocked and worried, stating she's an SSS ranked wizard (a rank higher than even the strongest known Inverse Spirit rank) and that had she joined when Mana was still Adeptus 2, she'd have been demoted.]]
253	* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:She was actually kidnapped by DEM a short while after the arrival of the First Spirit, meaning that despite looking around Kotori's age, she's actually in her early/mid 40s.]]
254	* PreciousPhoto: She has a pendant which holds a photo of her child self and a young Shido, which is how she could recognize Shido as her long-lost brother. [[spoiler:However, that's not actually Shido in the photo, but her real biological brother, Shinji.]]
255	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Once Mana learns about what really happened to her, she decides she's had enough of the DEM and leaves.
256	* ShipperOnDeck: For her childhood friend Haruko and Tatsuo. In Mana Again, she admits she was more surprised to find out they were Kotori's parents rather than they got married.
257	* StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks a lot like Shido, down to the hair color and eyes. This is particuarly apparent when Shido has to crossdress.
258	* SuperSoldier: She specifically underwent augmentations to become a Wizard, and it shows when she's able to mop up anything that's not a Spirit or [[WorldsStrongestWoman Ellen]], living up to her rank as Adeptus 2.
259	* TankTopTomboy: She is generally seen wearing a tank top under a hoodie, and was unrecognizable in a short story where Miku gave her more feminine clothing.
260	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She practices kendo, loves sparring as a Wizard, and generally wears sporty outfits. However, she ends up wearing a frilly dress in Encore 8's dream world, with both Kurumi and Shido suggesting that she's actually into such clothing.
261	* TomboyishPonytail: Her hair is tied into a ponytail in contrast to Kotori's GirlishPigtails, a hairstyle that Mana refuses to wear so as to distinguish herself from the latter.
262	* WhatTheHellHero: Rips into Kotori for sending Shido into contact with Spirits unarmed, leaving him with no way to defend himself, after she saved him from Kurumi. She even calls her a failure of a little sister.
263	* YourDaysAreNumbered: She has only 10 years left to live, having undergone a procedure to strengthen her body enough to fight on par with Spirits. She's not told of this side-effect until Volume 6, and when she learns this, she defects to Ratatoskr who are treating her to try and regain her lost lifespan. [[spoiler:The procedure was finally undone by Kurumi using the last of her powers on her]].
