6	[[folder:In General]]
7	* BlueBlood: ''All'' of them, except Seimei who isn't stated to be part of an aristocratic family and Yoshinaka who has a rural background. Even Yoshinaka himself is part of the aristocratic class now, so he qualifies to an extent.
8	* GentlemanAndAScholar: The poets, at least. They are as cultured as they are pleasant, even [[TheDandy Teika]] who is at most a LovableAlphaBitch.

15	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/detail_tachie_2teika.png]]
16	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakahiroSakurai\
17	'''Rarity (Base):''' Very High\
18	'''Element (Base):''' Water
19	A vain aristocrat obsessed with beauty and always thinks himself and the poems he composes the most beautiful things since sliced bread. An all-around narcissist.
20	----
21	* AlternateCharacterReading: His name can also be read "Sadaie", but he specifically requests to be called Teika.
22	* BerserkButton: If you're [[TheCharmer Narihira]], do ''not'' sweet-talk his retainers.
23	* CantTakeCriticism: In ''Gekka'', he pens his own romance story and asks the heroine to review it. She finds the characters' personalities unrealistic, but he disagrees on the grounds that being beautiful trumps being realistic.
24	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His hair and eyes have the same cyan color.
25	* TheDandy: He's pretty good-looking himself, and beauty is pretty much the only thing on this guy's mind. He believes beauty is the most important, isn't interested in anything he deems isn't beautiful enough and judges everything based on beauty.
26	* DoesNotLikeSpam: ''Nattō''.
27	* FriendlyRivalry: He dismisses Narihira as "irreparably un-beautiful", but still admits his poetry talents and states that he doesn't outright hate him.
28	-->'''Heroine:''' But you two do seem to get along pretty well.\
29	'''Teika:''' ''No, we don't''!
30	* TheIllegible: For all the pride he displays about the beauty of his poems, the script he uses to write them is nigh unreadable. TruthInTelevision in that the notoriously indecipherable [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive_script_(East_Asia) Asian cursive script]] is a genuine calligraphy style, and therefore is considered beautiful.
31	* LargeHam: And it just gets more and more evident. If he's feeling like giving a lengthy lecture about his opinion on beauty complete with flailing all over the place, so be it.
32	* LovableAlphaBitch: He's beauty-obsessed and arrogant, but is not mean.
33	* {{Narcissist}}: He believes that he's some sort of "Herald of Beauty" and that everything he creates is the most beautiful thing in the world.
34	* RoyalBrat: A vain, narcissistic Fujiwara aristocrat.
35	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: ''Sakura-mochi''.
36	* {{Tsundere}}: A ([[HoYay ostensibly]]) platonic version regarding his relationship with Narihira: though he displays overt disdain for and constantly bickers with him, he still acknowledges Narihira's talent and admits he doesn't flat-out ''hate'' him.
37	* WesternZodiac: Sagittarius (December 1).
38	* WingedHumanoid: His Yin ''Nagaruru Zaika'' form, making him look like a {{Tengu}}.

42	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/detail_tachie_4narihira.png]]
43	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ToshikiMasuda\
44	'''Rarity (Base):''' Medium\
45	'''Element (Base):''' Fire
46	A womanizing playboy who longs to achieve true love. He is a charismatic smooth-talker and also tends to get into silly arguments with Teika.
47	----
48	* BerserkButton: For some reason, he's perfectly fine with others commenting on his shameless philandering, but loses his shit when they attack his "coolness".
49	-->'''Narihira:''' Are you saying I'm not cool enough? How dare you speak like that? I ''am'' cool, I'm telling you!
50	* TheCharmer: It seems flirting with the first woman he sees is built into his instincts, as seen when he immediately compliments the heroine, puts a flower in her hair and takes her into town when they first meet. Teika is not amused.
51	-->'''Narihira:''' You're drawn to my sweet scent just like a butterfly.
52	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blond hair and yellow eyes.
53	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Potatoes.
54	* FriendlyRivalry: He and Teika often get into arguments over silly matters. Also, Teika would very much rather Narihira stopped flirting with his servants.
55	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
56	* PrinceCharming: A handsome aristocrat and a suave lady-killer.
57	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Shrimp.
58	* WesternZodiac: Cancer (July 14) and has the "emotional" trait down.
59	* WhenYouComingHomeDad: His mother died when he was young and his father was too busy with his high-ranking job that he couldn't properly take care of him.
60	* WingedHumanoid: His tengu-like Yin ''Nagaruru Zaika'' form.
61	[[/folder]]
62	[[folder:Ki no Tsurayuki]]
63	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/detail_tachie_3tsurayuki.png]]
64	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroShimono\
65	'''Rarity (Base):''' High\
66	'''Element (Base):''' Fire
67	An effeminate CampStraight who wears feminine clothing and employs feminine speech, but can still behave in a masculine way when he gets down to business. He's ''not'' a crossdresser, he's just InTouchWithHisFeminineSide.
68	----
69	* CampStraight: Wears flamboyant clothing, uses feminine speech, composes feminine poetry, but is still heterosexual.
70	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His entire color scheme is purple, including matching purple hair and eyes.
71	* TheDandy: Hell, his hobby is "being fashionable".
72	* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: While not being a lady, his mostly purple color scheme reflects his femininity and gracefulness.
73	* WesternZodiac: Leo (August 8). He also has the Fire element and the "dramatic" character trait.
74	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Skipjack tuna.

76	[[folder:Sada'akira]]
77	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/detail_tachie_5sadaakira.png]]
78	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakuyaEguchi\
79	'''Rarity (Base):''' Medium\
80	'''Element (Base):''' Light
81	A huge NeatFreak whose obsession with cleanliness is on par with that of [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Levi]]'s. An intimidating and short-tempered man.
82	----
83	* BadBoss: He is not above yelling at his servants if they fail to adhere to his extremely arbitrary idea of cleanliness.
84	* BerserkButton: When his house is not clean enough according to his ridiculously high standard.
85	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Green hair and green eyes.
86	* InSeriesNickname: ''Sady'' by Iemitsu.
87	* NeatFreak: He yells at his servants for still leaving his place a mess… even though the only thing that's dirty is the soot gathering at the lamps.
88	-->'''Sada'akira:''' When did my house turn into a garbage dump when I'm away?\
89	'''Heroine:''' ''(narrating)'' "Garbage dump"? But it looks perfectly clean.
90	* OnlyOneName: Which doubles as OddNameOut since the rest of the Miyabi cast have both first and last names.
91	* RoyalBrat: A short-tempered aristocrat who is extremely hard to please when it comes to cleanliness. It must be hard working for him.
92	* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: The opposite of [[DontCallMeSir Kiyomori]] in this aspect. He objects to the heroine's calling him ''kun'' and requests her to switch to the more formal ''san''.
93	* WesternZodiac: Capricorn (January 2) and is at once "hard working" and "cold".
94	[[/folder]]
95	[[folder:Fujiwara no Michinaga]]
96	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/detail_tachie_6michinaga.png]]
97	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KengoKawanishi\
98	'''Live-acted by:''' Kōhei Midō (stage play)\
99	'''Rarity (Base):''' Medium\
100	'''Element (Base):''' Dark
101	A Kansai-dialect-speaking PerpetualSmiler who is seemingly all nice and well, but is actually the resident [[{{Sadist}} do-S]] {{Yandere}} who likes to intimidate other people.
102	----
103	* BullyHunter: He gets a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for himself when he steps in to stop an aristocrat from bullying a commoner woman, though the reason he gives on why he hates bullying is not exactly heroic.
104	-->'''Michinaga:''' I hate bullyin' the weak. Ain't fightin' the strong much more fun?
105	** This becomes even less heroic since the introduction of his charge [[TheWoobie Shikibu]] who goes through a series of bullying himself that Michinaga doesn't seem to lift a finger to put a stop to.
106	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Bitter oranges.
107	* FieryRedhead: Has nice red hair and is pretty scary once you get on his bad side, or when he's [[{{Yandere}} taken an interest in you]].
108	* ParentalSubstitute: To Shikibu. He saved him from his previous abusive family and had taken care of him, because of which Shikibu feels [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe indebted to him]].
109	* PerpetualSmiler: He is almost always seen sporting a wide smile across his face.
110	* PetTheDog: For all his creepiness, he is genuinely nice to Shikibu, having saved him from a hard life… though the definition of "nice" in this case is up for debate, since Michinaga seems to be the ''least'' helpful in helping Shikibu with his massive problems if the latter's individual story is anything to go by.
111	* PrinceCharmless: The opposite of [[PrinceCharming Narihira]] in this regard. He may be an always smiling handsome aristocrat, but he is also a {{Yandere}} {{Jerkass}} who likes screwing with other people for the hell of it.
112	* {{Sadist}}: Don't be fooled by his smile and his mannerisms. Hidden behind it is a creepy do-S personality.
113	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: ''Somitsu''.
114	* WesternZodiac: Leo (August 18). His hidden sadistic side also makes him rather fitting.
115	* {{Yandere}}: Isn't he ''ever''! His behavior grows progressively creepier over the course of his route. If he wants to give you a fancy gift, he will ''make'' you receive it even if you refuse. He has also referred to the heroine as ''his personal possession'' to others more than once. His actions are toned down after the branching point, but are still possessive and creepy.
116	-->'''Michinaga:''' Ain't nobody's allowed to hurt ya but me.
117	[[/folder]]
118	[[folder:Taira no Kiyomori]]
119	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/detail_tachie_9kiyomori.png]]
120	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunFukushima\
121	'''Rarity (Base):''' Medium\
122	'''Element (Base):''' Fire
123	A Kebi'ishi officer whose angry mouth and rude behavior belies a genuinely nice personality. He hates pointless fights and will go to any length to stop them, albeit not in a nice way.
124	----
125	* CoolHorse: In ''Ōshōbu'', it's revealed that he has a horse called Mochizuki, similar to his historical counterpart.
126	* CowboyCop: He's a Kebi'ishi member who isn't afraid to rough up troublemakers.
127	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Bitter melons.
128	* DontCallMeSir: At one point, he angrily asks the heroine to stop using polite language and honorifics when addressing him.
129	-->'''Kiyomori:''' 'Sides, it's not Kiyomori-''san'', it's just Kiyomori! Stop with the honorifics already, it's just weird!
130	* InsistentTerminology: At one point, Inaba mimics his ''gorwaaaa!'' but says it as ''goraaaa!'' Of course, Kiyomori has to correct this, even though the two sound ''exactly the same''.
131	* TechnicalPacifist: He hates pointless violence and will step in to stop it… by using violence. It earned him a bad reputation in the past.
132	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fried snacks.
133	* {{Tsundere}}: He's definitely good-natured, but always behaves in such a rude way it's hard to like him at first.
134	* VerbalTic, ''gorwaaa!'' He even adds it as he's ''reading the game title'' when the title screen shows up.
135	* WalkingShirtlessScene: Along with {{Sarashi}} for good measure.
136	* WesternZodiac: Aquarius (February 10).

138	[[folder:Kiso Yoshinaka]]
139	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/detail_tachie_7yoshinaka.png]]
140	->'''Voiced by:''' Yūta Aoki\
141	'''Rarity (Base):''' Low\
142	'''Element (Base):''' Light
143	A CountryMouse who is unfamiliar with the way of life in the city and longs to make friends with the city aristocrats. He likes ''gagaku'' and is a skilled dancer.
144	----
145	* ComMons: He is 2 stars, so expect him to pop up a lot during summoning.
146	* CountryMouse: He is from the countryside and is self-conscious about his upbringing, wanting to fit in with the city people.
147	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown hair and brown eyes.
148	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Cucumbers.
149	* LongHairedPrettyBoy
150	* TheMedic: His special skill allows him to create heart tiles.
151	* PaletteSwap: A staple of low-rarity summons. His kimono is simply changed to green and his ''hakama'' to white in the Yang form, while in his Yin form his kimono is purple and grey and he wears normal trousers instead of ''hakama''.
152	* WesternZodiac: Gemini (June 6).
153	[[/folder]]
154	[[folder:Fun'ya no Yasuhide]]
155	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/detail_tachie_8hunya.png]]
156	->'''Voiced by:''' Shin Nagai\
157	'''Rarity (Base):''' Very Low\
158	'''Element (Base):''' Wind
159	A man who loves jokes, and often makes terrible puns that only he can laugh at.
160	----
161	* BlueIsHeroic: His color scheme is blue from head to toe, which goes well with his calm personality.
162	* CannotTellAJoke: He has a thing for comedy and makes jokes himself, but his jokes are so boring he is the only one finding them funny.
163	* ComMons: His base form is 1 star.
164	* CostumePorn: Two words: ''Nagaruru Zaika''.
165	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and eyes.
166	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Spinach.
167	* LaughingAtYourOwnJokes: Annoyingly frequent.
168	* PaletteSwap: Since his base form is low-rarity, this is all he gets for Awakened forms. The Yang one has his kimono changed to a lighter blue and is sleeveless, while the shirt underneath is lavender instead of white. His kimono in the Yin form is a darker, desaturated blue and the bottom of the garment is changed into a pair of dress trousers.
169	* PungeonMaster: From your run-of-the-mill homophone jokes to making words out of the last syllables of sentences, [[Manga/{{Gintama}} Terakado Tsū]]-style.
170	* StatuesqueStunner: This guy is ''191'' cm tall. Even without that knowledge, one can easily see how ridiculously tall he is compared to the rest of the cast.
171	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Miso.
172	* WesternZodiac: Aries (April 1) and fits the "playful" type. The fact he was born on April Fool's Day certainly helps.
173	[[/folder]]
174	[[folder:Murasaki Shikibu]]
175	[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/detail_tachie_10shikibu.png]]
176	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MitsukiSaiga\
177	'''Rarity (Base):''' Very High\
178	'''Element (Base):''' Dark
179	A talented writer who goes by a feminine name in order to promote his works. He can keep a cheerful and enthusiastic facade around others, but is really a lazy guy who loves to stay indoors all the time and badmouth others in his diary as a result of his [[CannotSpitItOut inability to be honest about his feelings around others]], courtesy of a DarkAndTroubledPast.
180
181	The first ''Tsukuyomi danshi'' who is a GenderFlip of his historical counterpart and whose base form is a ''Geppaku'' summon.
182	----
183	* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: He feels indebted to Michinaga for taking him in and saving him from a difficult life. Because of this, he never refuses any request Michinaga makes, or disrespects the name he gave him.
184	* CannotSpitItOut: He grew up in an abusive adoptive family, so he had to keep his feelings a secret for fear of being kicked out and becoming homeless. As a result, he is now unable to state his true feelings and opinions to others, often keeping them only in his diary.
185	-->'''Shikibu:''' If I tell the truth, I'll be hated for sure.
186	* CleavageWindow: The shirt underneath his kimono has a small opening that shows a portion of his chest.
187	* CostumePorn: Once given a ''Geppaku'' Awakening, he dons a ''jūnihitoe'', a multi-layered kimono worn by Heian noblewomen.
188	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown hair and eyes.
189	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Let's see, he spent his youth living with an adoptive family that treated him like shit, but he had to keep his mouth shut and put up with them or become homeless. Then he was taken in by Michinaga, but even then he's faced with bullying by other aristocrats who think him a low-life. Still, that's not the best part; he's been putting up with the whole thing because he's lost the ability to stand up for himself. [[TheWoobie Are you feeling sorry for him now?]]
190	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Fried food.
191	* FriendlyAddressPrivileges: [[spoiler: Towards the heroine by the end of his route.]]
192	* GenderBlenderName: Even the heroine lampshades how feminine the name Murasaki Shikibu is. [[spoiler: Not that his real name Kaoru is any more masculine.]]
193	* GenderFlip: ''Obviously''. He is by far the first and only character to be genderflipped from their historical counterpart.
194	* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: In case his name doesn't mean anything to you. He wears a lavender robe which makes him all the more elegant.
195	* {{Hikikomori}}: He is very lazy and likes to lock himself in his room all day. His profile on the official website ouright refers to him using this word.
196	-->'''Shikibu:''' Haa, I'm so tired. I wanna go back to my room.
197	* UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns: ''Boku''.
198	* MoustacheDePlume: He goes by the pen name Murasaki Shikibu because Michinaga advised him that a feminine name makes his literature more popular.
199	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname[=/=]PenName: "Murasaki Shikibu" is not his real name; it was given to him by Michinaga. He uses this feminine pen name in order to promote his literature.[[note]]Interestingly, this is exactly what the historical Ki no Tsurayuki did.[[/note]] [[spoiler: His real name is Fujiwara no Kaoru. Note that though the game refers to him as Shikibu, in the story itself, his real name is used more than the pen name. He is even referred to as Kaoru when travelling outside of Miyabi.]]
200	* SecretDiary: He owns one, which he uses to write scathing remarks about others. He understandably freaks out when the heroine discovers it and makes her promise not to speak of it to anyone else.
201	* SecretIdentity: In a Series/HannahMontana-like fashion, he's known as Shikibu to the high-class nobles [[spoiler: and Kaoru to everyone else. It's important not to let the latter group know these two names belong to one person, because imagine the scandal that would ensue if certain people knew that the "court lady" Murasaki Shikibu and the lowly boy they've been picking on are one and the same.]]
202	* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:His real name is very obviously a reference to ''Literature/TheTaleOfGenji''.]]
203	* StepfordSmiler: He behaves in two distinct modes: a cheerful and adorable facade around most people and a sad, reserved true personality in private.
204	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: ''Tsubaki-mochi''.
205	* VerbalTic: In his "friendly mode", many of his sentences end with a music note.
206	* WesternZodiac: Cancer (July 14). Funny enough, he was born on the same day as Narihira.
