| 10 | [[folder:General]] |
| 11 | * GrimUpNorth: Laurenfrost territory, which borders the Holy Kingdom, is well known for its cold climate. |
| 12 | * PuppetState: [[spoiler:In practice, it becomes one for the Holy Kingdom of Lugia. By the beginning of the series, it had already infiltrated the upper echelons of government. Come Volume 14, they scheme to have their puppet, Arneus, ascend as emperor, while at the same time out taking out the members of the nobility faction opposing his rule. One of Team Scarlet's main objectives for the rest of the series is to restore the Ordesia Empire through the movement of Legitimate Ordesia]]. |

| 14 | !!Team Scarlet |
| 15 | One of the three teams representing Ordesia Empire. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | [[folder:General]] |
| 18 | * BattleHarem: All of the girls on the team are skilled Elementalists that grow to be very tight knit as the series goes on and have a romantic interest in Kamito. Hell, by the end of the series, [[spoiler:the girls conspire to win the next Blade Dance just to win the right to form a nation where Kamito is King and polygamy is legal just so they all can marry him. He had no say in this of course, but won't refuse either]]. |
| 19 | * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: And how! |
| 20 | ** Kamito is infamous as "The Demon King Of The Night" capable of corrupting any young lady unlucky enough to be in his presence. |
| 21 | ** Claire is the sister of the Calamity Queen, and so is constantly bullied for it. |
| 22 | ** Fianna is the Lost Queen, who lost her royalty status when she failed to accomplish the duties she was trained for. |
| 23 | ** Rinslet is considered a country bumpkin, and her prideful attitude makes it hard for her to make friends. |
| 24 | ** Ellis is looked down upon by seniors who dislike that someone younger than them is leading the Sylphid Knights. |

| 30 | ->Voiced by: Creator/MakotoFurukawa |
| 31 | ->'''Spirit(s):''' Terminus Est (humanoid), Restia Ashdoll (humanoid) |
| 32 | ->'''Spirit Attribute(s)''': Steel (Est), Darkness (Restia) |
| 33 | ->'''Elemental Waffe''': Demon Slayer (Est - broadsword), Vorpal Sword (Restia - broadsword) |
| 34 | |
| 35 | TheHero of our story. Three years ago he won the Blade Dance as [[AttractiveBentGender Ren Ashbell]]. Now, having lost his contracted spirit, he is lured to Areishia Spirit Academy by Greyworth Ciel Mais to compete in the Blade Dance once more. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | He is able to commune with spirits despite being a male, and given that the only only other male in recorded history to possess such a trait waged war against most of the world, this causes no small amount of distrust suspicion from other people. However, Kamito couldn't could less about this so-called Demon King. His only interest is to be reunited with Restia, and to protect the people he holds dear. |
| 38 | ---- |
| 39 | * AccidentalPervert: The number of times he finds himself in a compromising position with a girl, only for someone else to enter the room and judge him as a perverted scumbag are far too many to count. |
| 40 | * TheAce: Even after losing most of his strength from years of inactivity, he is still regarded as Team Scarlet's powerhouse from the start. Becomes even more prominent as he regains his former power over time. |
| 41 | * AintTooProudToBeg: Kamito ends up begging Rinslet to join Team Scarlet once it becomes clear they wouldn't stand a chance against Velsaria without her. He does so to preserve both Claire's pride and Rinslet's, as the latter clearly wanted to join their team, but wasn't willing to say it directly, while Claire couldn't bring herself to ask her to join them in a non-condescending way. |
| 42 | * AlliterativeName: '''Ka'''zehaya '''Ka'''mito. |
| 43 | * AntiAntichrist: As the reincarnation of the Demon King, he could destroy the world one day. He's trying not to lose himself to his powers. |
| 44 | * AttractiveBentGender: His disguise as Ren Ashbell had everyone fooled. Even in the present, whenever he is forced to be DisguisedInDrag, he is noted to be prettier than most girls. |
| 45 | * TheBerserker: [[spoiler:When he starts to accept the power of the Demon King sleeping within him, he becomes this.]] |
| 46 | * BroughtDownToBadass: Three years of inactivity greatly weakened his abilities as an elementalist. However, he's still much stronger than most of them. |
| 47 | * BrutalHonesty: The narration notes he lacks tact when commenting on girls' appearances and personalities. This gets him in trouble more than once. |
| 48 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: Due to the conditioning he went through at the Instructional School, he genuinely doesn't remember promising Muir he would be her brother. Even if he did, it's unlikely that exchange was anywhere near as meaningful to him as it was to her. |
| 49 | ** He also had to be reminded of the time he saved Fianna from a rampaging spirit and she discovered he was Ren Ashbell. |
| 50 | * ButtMonkey: He gets blamed for pretty much everything, with nearly every girl in the world believing that he's a complete pervert. |
| 51 | * ChickMagnet: All the girls in his team are after him. Unfortunately for him, this only worsens his reputation as a casanova. |
| 52 | * CluelessChickMagnet: To an extent. He occasionally flirts with girls and teases them for fun, but it doesn't occur to him that they could end up having serious feelings for him. Justified as the two women he had meaningful interactions with before were [[TheTease Restia]] and [[TheGadfly Greyworth]]. He doesn't know many more ways to interact with them. |
| 53 | * ConspicuousGloves: He always wears leather gloves on his left hand in order to hide the spirit seal of Restia. This is because any elementalist whos sees it would immediately realize that he's Ren Ashbell. He later drops it [[spoiler: after he loses Restia's seal and his subsequent reforming of contract with her]], considering he's no longer even trying to hide his identity at all aside from keeping the remaining members of Team Scarlet who are still in the dark [[spoiler: Rinslet and Ellis]] hopes and dreams for Ren Ashbell alive. |
| 54 | * CoolSword: He has two of them. Both of which turn into beautiful girls. |
| 55 | * CrazyJealousGuy: He really doesn't like it when someone other than him wields Restia. |
| 56 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: As a kid he was taken by the Instructional School, where he was subjected to gruesome training to train him as an assassin and remove his feelings. |
| 57 | * DeadpanSnarker: Any time he isn't openly teasing someone. |
| 58 | * DeclarationOfProtection: He swears to protect Claire as her "contracted spirit". |
| 59 | * DefusingTheTykeBomb: Happened twice during the past. Restia does it initially during her days training Kamito at the Instructional School, helping Kamito recover the emotions that had been stripped from him. When the instructors discover what she did, they have Restia sealed away and attempt to have Kamito's emotions erased again. They mostly succeed, but are unable to make him forget his feelings for Restia, and when the opportunity presents itself, he escapes with the ring where Restia is sealed. Eventually, he ends up under Greyworth's care, who releases Restia and does some defusing too. |
| 60 | * DiagonalCut: Violet Flash, a single strike so fast most opponents can't see it. [[{{Irony}} Also the attack Greyworth beat him down with on their first meeting]]. |
| 61 | * DisguisedInDrag: He disguised himself as a girl under the alias "Ren Ashbell" in order to participate and win the Blade Dance 3 years prior the start of the series. |
| 62 | ** Fianna convinces him to dress as a princess maiden to infiltrate the Divine Ritual Institute's temple in Ragna Ys, so they could ask Fianna's friend, Reicha Alminas, for help in dealing with the Brand of Darkness Ren Ashbell had left in his body. |
| 63 | ** A short story reveals he once also dressed as a waitress when working part-time at a maid café alongside Fianna, Est and Claire. The owner practically forced him into it after taking a good look at him. |
| 64 | * DramaPreservingHandicap: He's often weakened or wounded in some way so he doesn't immediately curb stomp most of his opponents. |
| 65 | * DualWielding: He wields both Est and Restia once he gets the latter back. |
| 66 | * TheDulcineaEffect: He's constantly risking his life to save girls he barely knows. Jio exploits this by gunning for his teammates, which leads to Kamito tanking powerful attacks in order to protect them. |
| 67 | * EmbarrassingNickname: |
| 68 | ** ''The Demon King of the Night'', much to his dismay. |
| 69 | ** Eventually expands to [[RefugeInAudacity ''Demon King of the Daytime'']], [[OverlyLongGag ''Demon King of the Afternoon'']], [[RuleOfThree ''Demon King of the Morning'']].... |
| 70 | ** After the Blade Dance, he also received the name the ''Sex Elemental Lord''. |
| 71 | * EnemyMine: In Volume 13, he is forced to fight alongside Luminaris. |
| 72 | * FirstKiss: With Restia, before she is sealed away by the Instructional School's elders. |
| 73 | * FirstNameBasis: Insists on being addressed by his given name during his first encounter with Est. |
| 74 | * FullNameBasis: Ren Ashbell is always called by her full name by everyone. |
| 75 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: Unfortunately for him, [[MaliciousSlander he is subject to being called a pervert]]. It even spread to other countries through their spies in the academy, whom he notes are not that good at their jobs. |
| 76 | * HeroicAmbidexterity: He is ambidextrous, which is a big help for his DualWielding. He usually prefers using the Vorpal Sword with his left hand, and Terminus Est with his right, likely due to the location of his seals. |
| 77 | * HeroWorshipper: Much to his dismay, nearly every elementalist of his generation views his Ren Ashbell persona as their idol, with the tales and exaggerations reaching the point of FolkHero levels. This is one of his reasons for not revealing his secret, even to his friends, so [[BrokenPedestal he wouldn't crush their dreams]]. |
| 78 | * HonorBeforeReason: When Leonora asks for his help to get out of the slump she had been in since their battle during the Tempest, Kamito internally notes that helping the ace of an enemy team get back on shape before the finals might not be that beneficial for his team; yet he still lends her a hand, because he also desires to battle Leonora at her full strength. |
| 79 | * ImCryingButIDontKnowWhy: [[spoiler:Despite suffering from amnesia at the time, Kamito realizes that he wishes to protect the things that are dear to him, even if he no longer remembers them]]. Kamito comes to this conclusion as his friends, the Academy, and the Academy Town are all in danger of being destroyed during the Great Festival of the Spirits. He then starts crying without understanding why, and realizes he must have failed to protect someone in the past. |
| 80 | * ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Nobody mentions how Kamito wears his tie loose and outside of his suit jacket, nor is it ever explained why he does it. He makes it work, though. |
| 81 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: He lost his memories of what happened just after he won the previous Blade Dance, particularly everything related to his Wish. |
| 82 | ** [[spoiler:Following Restia's apparent demise in Volume 11, all his memories starting from the point they met just vanish, resulting in the last 4 years of his life being gone, and his mind returning to his 12 year-old self's. He recovers by the end of Volume 12]]. |
| 83 | * LightningBruiser: Back during his days as Ren Ashbell. Just about the only opponents that could give him a hard time were Elementalists with Holy Elemental spirits, as Restia, being of Darkness Element, is at a serious disadvantage against. |
| 84 | * MasterSwordsman: ''Was'' one back in the day as Ren Ashbell. He regains his former power over the course of the series, and ''surpasses'' it when he [[DualWielding dual wields Restia and Est]]. |
| 85 | * TheOneGuy: He's the world's only known living male elementalist. |
| 86 | * OnlySaneMan: Is often completely dumbfounded by the antics of his friends. |
| 87 | * PrettyBoy: He has the body type, can pull off wearing women's clothing at 16, and is stated to be quite handsome in part because of his [[GorgeousGaijin exotic]] appearance. |
| 88 | * RealMenCook: Is quite capable of making delicious dishes, even from canned food. He actually takes care of cooking (that is, when [[SupremeChef Rinslet]] doesn’t "accidentally" cook too much) for Claire and Fianna in the academy, since both of them are hopeless in the kitchen. |
| 89 | * RedBaron: Was known as the ''Strongest Blade Dancer'' during his days as Ren Ashbell. |
| 90 | * SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler:Before her defeat, Ren Ashdoll sealed her power within humanity itself and would manifest onto individuals throughout history. Many either went crazy or were destroyed by her power]]. |
| 91 | * ShirtlessScene: After arriving with an IntimateOpenShirt, he removes his blazer and spends the battle with Velsaria topless, save for a set of bandages. FemaleGaze [[{{Fanservice}} ensues.]] |
| 92 | * SpamAttack: [[OverlyLongName Bursting Blossom Spiral Blade Dance]], his finishing move. The number of hits in the attack varies. |
| 93 | ** This technique was designed to kill [[PhysicalGod Archdemon-Class Spirits]]. Even weakened as he is, few people could take it at full power and survive. |
| 94 | * SpectacularSpinning: Shadow Moon Waltz, [[OneManArmy an anti-army technique]]. |
| 95 | * StockLightNovelHero: Kamito is the only known male elementalist, a person who is able to make contracts with spirits. This, of course, means that he is the only boy to attend a school devoted to that craft, thus guaranteeing an UnwantedHarem. Also, he is secretly Ren Ashbell, the [[WorldsBestWarrior world's greatest bladedancer]], capable of defeating just about any opponent singlehandedly once he gets serious. Further, he is contracted to two immensely powerful spirits: Est, one of the most powerful holy swords in existence, and Restia, another powerful sword which is the literal manifestation of the Darkness Elemental Lord. |
| 96 | * SupernaturalMartialArts: The Absolute Blade Arts techniques he learned from Greyworth. There are also the assassination techniques he acquired at the Instructional School. |
| 97 | * TakingTheBullet: He is prone to doing this to protect his teammates, something which Jio in particular takes advantage of. |
| 98 | * TheTease: Is not above teasing the girls sometimes, especially due to their lack of knowledge about indecent subjects. Claire is his main victim. |
| 99 | * TranquilFury: Harming his friends tends to bring out this side of him. |
| 100 | * UnwantedHarem: Oy vey. [[{{Tsundere}} Claire]], [[GratuitousPrincess Fianna]], [[EquippableAlly Est]], [[LadyOfWar Ellis]], [[{{Ojou}} Rinslet]], [[{{Yandere}} Muir]], [[DarkMagicalGirl Restia]], and [[WorthyOpponent Leonora]]. And these are only the primary characters. |
| 101 | * UrbanLegendLoveLife: Everyone in the continent assumes Kamito is a perverted ladykiller when he's actually a CluelessChickMagnet. |
| 102 | * WillfullyWeak: |
| 103 | ** Despite being weakened due to his three years of inactivity, he still holds back against his opponents. Justified because his true fighting style involves techniques only Ren Ashbell and Greyworth knew, so using it would reveal that he is Ren Ashbell. |
| 104 | ** Eventually he starts using them anyway, and tries to pass it off as having studied under Greyworth at a different time than Ren Ashbell. It works, somewhat. |

| 112 | ->'''Spirit Attribute(s):''' Fire |
| 113 | ->'''Elemental Waffe:''' Flametongue (whip) |
| 114 | |
| 115 | A young girl Kamito meets on his way to the Areishia Spirit Academy. After Kamito forms a contract with a spirit she wanted, therefore “stealing” it from her, she declares him her slave spirit and forces him to form a team with her. |
| 116 | |
| 117 | At first obsessed with obtaining strength to obtain her wish, she quickly mellows out thanks to Kamito's influence, and grows to become a competent team leader and remarkable elementalist, not to mention a dear friend for her teammates. |
| 118 | |
| 119 | She is actually the younger sister of the Calamity Queen, Rubia Elstein, a fact which resulted in her losing everything, and caused her to be ostracized by nearly everyone. Her wish is to meet her sister and discover why she betrayed the Elemental Lords and the empire. |
| 120 | ---- |
| 121 | * ACupAngst: She is incredibly insecure regarding her small bust. Making fun of her for it is one of the easiest ways to rile her up. |
| 122 | * ActionGirl: While she isn't on Kamito's level, she is an extremely skilled combatant in her own right. |
| 123 | * AnimalJingoism: As represented by their spirits, Claire has a cat motif and Rinslet has a dog motif. As expected, they often get into fights. |
| 124 | %% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Speaking ill of Rubia in front of her is the quickest way to provoke her. This was the case even before Rubia's betrayal, and has remained so in spite of it. |
| 125 | * BigSisterWorship: She holds her sister, Rubia, in high regard and won't stand for it when someone speaks badly of her. |
| 126 | * BrokenBird: Her sister's betrayal of the Flame Elemental Lord and the resulting consequences to her parents completely shattered her world and changed the shy, timid girl into the current FieryRedhead. |
| 127 | * CatchphraseInsult: "Turn into charcoal!" or alternatively, "Turn to ash!" |
| 128 | * CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Has been caught a couple of times massaging her breasts, trying to make them grow, but clearly enjoying herself a little too much. |
| 129 | * ChildhoodFriends: Claire and Rinslet have known each other since childhood. They're obviously friends, but both are too proud to admit it. |
| 130 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Does not like seeing Kamito around other girls, whether it's Rinslet, Ellis, or even his contracted spirit Est. |
| 131 | * CooldownHug: Having awakened as the Darkness Queen, she manages to calm Kamito down with one of these, after the later had succumbed to the corrupted Ren Ashdoll's will and awakened as the Demon King. Soon after, she manages to get Rubia to stand down too, when the latter was planning on forcing Kamito to become the Demon King again. A hug was all she needed to get the exhausted Rubia to finally give up on her goal. |
| 132 | * CovertPervert: She actually reads and enjoys rather risque novels, usually involving a maiden being corrupted by a devious young lord. Ortlinde even notes that in her dreams, she is often turned into Kamito's SexSlave. |
| 133 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red hair and red eyes to match. |
| 134 | * CuteLittleFangs: She's occasionally drawn with feline fangs to go with her cat motif. |
| 135 | * DefrostingIceQueen: She starts the series as an IneffectualLoner obsessed with obtaining power to achieve her goals. Kamito's influence helps her become more open towards others, and less obsessed with getting stronger at any cost. |
| 136 | * DyeOrDie: Dyes her hair blonde in order to infiltrate the Imperial Capital during Volume 14. |
| 137 | * ElementalEyeColors: Her crimson eyes befit someone PlayingWithFire. |
| 138 | * ElementalHairColors: She's a fire spirit user and has long red hair. |
| 139 | * ElementalPersonalities: She's an elementalist using a flame spirit and her character is an exemplar of the FieryRedhead. |
| 140 | * ElementalRivalry: Claire is a fire spirit user, so it's only fitting her self-proclaimed rival Rinslet is an ice spirit user. |
| 141 | * EmbarrassingNickname: "Lamentable Chest", owing to her lack of feminine assets. |
| 142 | * ExpressiveHair: Her hair tends to flail around when she's angry. This is because elementalists can take on attributes of their contracted spirit. |
| 143 | * FieryRedhead: She has red hair and appropriately enough, has a short temper. |
| 144 | * GirlishPigtails: Of the two side up variety. They fit her {{Tsundere}} character. |
| 145 | * GodivaHair: Whenever she's naked, her long hair covers anything important. |
| 146 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: She feels she has no one to rely on, mostly because of her relation to her sister who earned a very bad reputation amongst people after her betrayal and disappearance. Despite that, Kamito sees that there are people who still care about her, such as Rinslet, though they're both too proud to ever admit it. |
| 147 | * InsufferableGenius: Has shades of this. Despite appearances, she is very diligent when it comes to her studies, and occasionally gives Kamito a hard time over his poor grades. |
| 148 | * TheLeader: She is the leader of Team Scarlet and does a great job coming up with strategies and coordinating her teammates in battle. |
| 149 | * LethalChef: The food she cooks resembles charcoals. She gets better over time. |
| 150 | * MotivationalKiss: She gives her FirstKiss to Kamito to snap him out of his shock after meeting Restia. |
| 151 | * NakedFirstImpression: Kamito first meets her when he walks in on her taking a bath at a pond. |
| 152 | * NakedOnArrival: She's introduced completely naked since she dropped by at a pond to purify herself before facing a spirit. |
| 153 | * OlderThanSheLooks: She's sixteen, but her short height and child-like features makes her look younger than her teammates. |
| 154 | * PlayingWithFire: Her primary element is fire. |
| 155 | * SchmuckBait: Rinslet tells her that if the boy she likes rubs her breasts, they'll grow bigger. Claire has an ImagineSpot of that happening. Fianna later tells her it's not true. |
| 156 | * ShedTheFamilyName: Her full birth name is Claire Elstein. She changed her surname to Rouge because her family fell into ruin after her older sister became the Calamity Queen. |
| 157 | * SourOutsideSadInside: The reason she acts like a spoiled brat is because she lost ''everything'' after her sister's betrayal, and was nearly universally scorned for her relation to Rubia. She's extremely protective of anyone trying to take Kamito away from her, fearing she'd lose him as well. Fortunately Kamito realizes this, and tries not to do anything too rash that would cause her to feel he'd abandon her. |
| 158 | * StockLightNovelCalamityPrincess: She has red hair in the signature style, summons a fire elemental, is a noble, serves as the main love interest of the hero, and is often identified with her mysterious sister who [[RedBaron is called "Queen Of Calamity"]]. As a child, her sister disgraced her family and Claire herself is stuck with the stigma of trying to live down her sister's destruction of their lives. She considers the hero indebted to her and treats him like a servant, and the two have to participate in a TournamentArc along with some of their friends and fellow-harem members. |
| 159 | * TheStrategist: Surprisingly for her [[{{Tsundere}} character]] [[FieryRedHead type]], she has a good head for battle tactics, and repeatedly gives out effective winning strategies. |
| 160 | * TinyTyrannicalGirl: Rather short for her age, and known for constantly bossing Kamito around, claiming he's her slave contracted spirit. |
| 161 | * {{Tsundere}}: The biggest example among the girls. She is by far the most likely to attack Kamito for his "perverted" behavior, however there are plenty of moments that show her softer side. |
| 162 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Before Rubia's betrayal happened, she was an adorable little MoeBlob. |
| 163 | * VitriolicBestFriends: She and Rinslet fight and argue all the time, but they do care about each other as the ChildhoodFriends they are. Both will still deny it when asked. |
| 164 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: In Volume 9, despite being jealous of Restia, and the fact Restia had tried to kill her in the past, Claire still risks everything to save her, just because she knows how dear Restia is to Kamito. She is even willing to face Luminaris, even though the latter had offered to let her walk away if she just handed Restia over. |

| 172 | ->'''Spirit Attribute(s):''' Ice |
| 173 | ->'''Elemental Waffe:''' Freezing Arrow (bow) |
| 174 | |
| 175 | The eldest daughter of the Laurenfrost family. Claire's childhood friend, she is one of the few people at the academy that doesn't resent her for the actions of her sister. Of course, their prideful personalities often lead them to be at odds with each other, so don't expect them to ever admit how much they care about each other. |
| 176 | |
| 177 | Despite her haughty demeanor, she is actually a very kind soul who likes taking care of people, be it her teammates, strangers, or her totally useless maid. |
| 178 | |
| 179 | Her goal is to win the Blade Dance so that she can ask the Water Elemental Lord to free her sister, who was her encased in a prison of ice after making a mistake while performing a ritual. |
| 180 | ---- |
| 181 | * AnimalJingoism: As represented by their spirits, Rinslet has a dog motif and Claire has a cat motif. As expected, they don't get along very well. |
| 182 | * AttentionWhore: When first introduced, she would go out of her way to place herself in the most conspicuous spot during a battle, so she could properly show off her skill. This, despite being an archer, more suited to attacking her targets while hidden at a distance. She tones it down when she joins Team Scarlet, and becomes more of a team player. |
| 183 | * BigSisterInstinct: Her whole reason for participating in the Blade Dance is to wish for the Water Elemental Lord to release her sister from her ice prison. |
| 184 | * TheCaretaker: Hilariously, to her own personal maid. Carol is a total klutz who can't even get up from bed without Rinslet waking her up. It's ''Rinslet'' who does the daily chores for both of them even though Carol is the servant. When out on a mission, Rinslet's main concern is how Carol will do without her for a few days. |
| 185 | * ChildhoodFriends: She has known Claire since they were little girls and despite their denials, it's obvious they're friends. |
| 186 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Though she is usually less prone to choose violence than Ellis and Claire. |
| 187 | * ConspicuousGloves: Sometimes depicted wearing a purple archery glove over her right hand. She wears it all the time in the manga. |
| 188 | * ElementalRivalry: Rinslet is an ice spirit user and has an persistent rivalry with the fire spirit user Claire. |
| 189 | * EroticDream: Dreams of Kamito doing naughty things to her in Volume 7. [[ThreesomeSubtext Claire is there too]]. |
| 190 | * AFriendInNeed: Despite their constant fights, she won't forgive anyone who messes with her friend Claire. Her reaction to Claire being bullied is to pull out her bow and point it at the bully's face. |
| 191 | * FrontlineGeneral: When taking the lead during the defense of Winter Gulf Castle, she chooses to position herself atop the castle walls among her soldiers, refusing to lead them from the safety of the castle. |
| 192 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Initial impressions aside, she is actually a very caring person, and is always looking out for other people. |
| 193 | * HopeBringer: Her arrival at Winter Gulf Castle while it was under siege by ice dragons reinvigorates the fighting spirit of the soldiers present, specially when she joins them in battle. |
| 194 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: Her aim with the bow is ridiculous, and only gets better throughout the Blade Dance. By the later volumes, she is able to shoot down numerous arrows out of the sky, from a considerable distance, at the same time. |
| 195 | * AnIcePerson: Specializes in ice magic. |
| 196 | * LongRangeFighter: Her elemental waffe is a long bow which produces ice arrows, so she usually keeps her distance from her targets. |
| 197 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Went through this when she was a child, after risking both her life and Claire's by breaking into the Elstein's sealed library, where a spirit almost kills them both. |
| 198 | * {{Ojou}}: The most high class of the Academy of high class ladies. |
| 199 | * PlayboyBunny: Dresses like this to cheer Kamito up after he loses Est in Volume 5. Like Ellis and Claire, who dress up as a [[SexyWhateverOutfit dog]] and [[FurBikini cat]], she is [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl not very happy about it]]. |
| 200 | * ProperTightsWithASkirt: She wears white tights as part of her uniform, fitting her {{Ojou}} character. |

| 202 | * TheRival: She's always competing with Claire, be it in battle skill or love. |
| 203 | * SupremeChef: Is really good at cooking. Her cooking is enough to summon an Elemental Lord. |
| 204 | * TalkingInYourSleep: How we know she was having an EroticDream in Volume 7. |
| 205 | * {{Tsundere}}: It's obvious she likes Kamito very much and does care about Claire as a friend, but is too proud and arrogant to admit it. |
| 206 | * VitriolicBestFriends: She considers Claire to be her friend and the feeling is mutual, though neither of them will admit it, so they call themselves rivals. As a result, Kamito does comment that Claire, despite what she thinks, does have people who look out for her. |

| 216 | |
| 217 | A student belonging to Areishia Spirit Academy's Weasel Class, and the current captain of the Academy's Sylphid Knights, a position she inherited after her sister was ousted due to excessive use of force. Her position often puts her at odds with some of the more unruly students, such as Rinslet, and specially Claire. |
| 218 | |
| 219 | An earnest girl charged with maintaining order and discipline among the students, as well as protecting the citizens of the nearby Academy Town from hostile spirits, she takes her responsibilities very seriously, but despite the strong image she tries to project, she still has some deep-seated insecurities in regards to whether she lives up to the standards of a knight Velsaria used to embody, and whether she is truly worthy of being called one. |
| 220 | |
| 221 | Initially cold towards Kamito due to being a male elementalist, she soon warms up to him after learning what he is really like, and even more so once he manages to save her older sister from her self-destructive path. |
| 222 | ---- |
| 223 | * ClingyJealousGirl: While she usually uses the pretext of only being interested in public morals when warning Kamito about indulging in indecent behavior with other girls, it's obvious she sometimes wishes he would indulge in such behavior with herself. |
| 224 | * CovertPervert: Much like Claire, she is also into novels of a racy nature. At some point, it also becomes pretty clear that she really wants to sleep with Kamito. |
| 225 | * CutenessProximity: Mainly towards Scarlet, but she has a similar reaction towards all cute spirits. |
| 226 | * DefrostingIceQueen: At first, she was on very bad terms with the members of Team Scarlet. Soon however, circumstances bring them together, and she comes to think of them as friends. She's now the team member who tag teams with Kamito the most. |
| 227 | * {{Flight}}: Can fly thanks to her control over wind. |
| 228 | * ImagineSpot: Has one in Volume 12 about her feeding Kamito, which quickly turns into an EroticDream when Kamito [[LecherousLicking starts licking her]]. Simorgh needs to peck her back to reality. |

| 232 | * TomboyishPonytail: Usually has her hair up in a high ponytail. |
| 233 | * {{Tsundere}}: She's initially hostile towards Kamito and is quick to jump to conclusions when she thinks he's being a pervert, but she blushes way too easily when he's nice to her. |
| 234 | * TheWorfEffect: Despite being noted as a strong and skilled knight, she is the member of Team Scarlet most often hurt or defeated to show how serious the situation is. |

| 244 | |
| 245 | The Ordesia Empire's second princess. Originally one of the highest-ranked princess maidens in the Divine Ritual Institute, she was expected to take over as Fire Queen in case Rubia, her senior and dear friend, became unable to fulfill her role. However, for reasons unknown to the world at large, she did not become the Fire Queen following Rubia's betrayal, and was thus unable to appease the Fire Elemental Lord's anger towards her homeland. |
| 246 | |
| 247 | Disinherited by her parents and subjected to the scorn of the court due to her failure, Fianna became largely despondent towards life, just going through the motions until the day she met Kamito, and discovering his secret of being a male elementalist, one participating in the Blade Dance by pretending to be a girl on top of that. In the present day, once news reach her of Kamito being admitted into Areishia Spirit Academy, she transfers to the Academy herself in order to join Kamito's team for the upcoming Blade Dance, in the hopes she'll be able to accomplish her wish. That, and so she can make Kamito fall in love with her, as she did for him three years ago. |
| 248 | ---- |
| 249 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Described in the light novel as having black hair, but is changed to a purple color for the anime adaptation. Zigzagged, [[HairColorDissonance because her hair is often shown as purple in colored illustrations]]. |
| 250 | * BeneathTheMask: Underneath all the teasing and mature attitude lies an insecure young girl hurting from her failures. |
| 251 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite her quirks and her often indecent behavior, she is almost unrivaled when it comes to spirit rituals. Several characters note her reputation as a Queen candidate is more than earned. |
| 252 | * DisinheritedChild: Due to her failure to take over as the Fire Queen following Rubia's betrayal, she was unable to do anything to appease the Fire Elemental Lord who was wreaking havoc across Ordesia. As a result, she was disinherited by the royal family, and treated as a nuisance by most members of the court. |
| 253 | * EmbarrassingNickname: The Lost Queen is one to her. |
| 254 | * EyesOutOfSight: In the manga, her bangs cover most of her face as a child, instead of having GirlishPigtails. It contributes to Kamito not recognizing her just a few years after meeting her. |
| 255 | * FakeBoobs: She uses breast pads, partly to hide her bloodstone, and partly to facilitate her plan to seduce Kamito, since she heard men [[BuxomBeautyStandard like big breasts]]. Its implied she keeps using them even after losing the bloodstone and her plan being found out. |
| 256 | * TheGadfly: She really loves to tease Kamito, particularly in front of Claire to provoke the latter into getting mad. |
| 257 | * GirlishPigtails: When Kamito met her, she was wearing twin tails. |
| 258 | * HatesTheirParent: Doesn't have the highest opinion of her parents, since they also showed her nothing but scorn for failing to appease the Fire Elemental Lord's anger when she was a child. |
| 259 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: One of the reasons for her wanting to join Team Scarlet. She thought that if anyone would accept an outcast like the Lost Queen, it would be people like the sister of the Calamity Queen, or the only male elementalist. |
| 260 | * IntimateHealing: Because Kamito's body naturally rejects holy magic, even when it is related to healing, she is forced to do this when treating him for it to have any effect. Not that she minds. |
| 261 | * LethalChef: Her cooking is terrible, but she normally adds sleeping medicine so her unfortunate victim never really notices. |
| 262 | ** Even when closely supervised to make sure she does everything right, the dish can ultimately end up just being completely tasteless, apparently as a result of her feelings influencing the result, which isn't uncommon among princess maidens, though usually not to such an extent. |
| 263 | * TheLoad: Even after restoring her connection with Georgios, she considers herself to be this in Team Scarlet because she isn't of much use in direct combat, due to her lack of combat training. As a result, she starts secretly trying to force Georgios' elemental waffe to manifest. |
| 264 | ** Note however, that her comrades [[SubvertedTrope don't consider her this at all]], as her ritual dancing and other skills she picked up at the Divine Ritual Institute prove invaluable to the team during the Blade Dance. |
| 265 | * LordCountry: She's a princess of the Ordesia Empire and has Ordesia as her last name. |
| 266 | * MyGreatestFailure: Being unable to even slow down Rubia when she stole Laevateinn four years in the past, leading to a catastrophe falling upon the empire and Fianna's connection with Georgios being severed. |
| 267 | * NewTransferStudent: She immediately transfers to the Areishia Spirit Academy the moment she learns that a newly discovered male elementalist is attending, knowing it must be Kamito. |
| 268 | * RescueRomance: She fell in love with Kamito when he rescued her in the forest several years earlier. |
| 269 | * RoyalRapier: Her elemental waffe, but it is not used for direct combat. |
| 270 | * SecretKeeper: She's one of the few people who knows that Kamito is actually Ren Ashbell. Doesn't stop her from mercilessly teasing him about it though. |
| 271 | * ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Teases Kamito at every opportunity by getting close to him and wearing revealing clothing, [[DownplayedTrope though she isn't completely shameless]], and sometimes gets embarrassed herself when she takes it too far. |
| 272 | * SheIsAllGrownUp: Why Kamito failed to recognize her at first. |
| 273 | * SquishyWizard: Has no actual direct combat training. She gets tired after just running for a short time and relies completely on Georgios and her friends to protect her. |
| 274 | * TheTease: Towards Kamito. |
| 275 | * TransferStudentUniform: She wears the Divine Ritual Institute uniform instead of Areishia Spirit Academy's. According to the manga, she did receive the Academy's uniform eventually, but decided to remain wearing her old one, to show all those that looked down on her in the past that she is back. |
| 276 | * TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: She reveals to Claire and Kamito that she lost her contracted spirit a few years back, and was hoping to win the latest Blade Dance in order to regain it. However, that proves unnecessary after her strong desire to protect Kamito from Jio Inzagi gives her the necessary motivation to reconnect with Georgios, which allows them to defeat Jio. |

However, following their victory three years ago, she disappeared for reasons unknown. Reuniting with her is Kamito's main goal. |
| 287 | ---- |
| 288 | * AdaptationalVillainy: In the anime, she willingly allows Jio to wield her as the Vorpal Sword in order to push Kamito. In the light novel, Jio forces her using Nebuchadnezzar. |
| 289 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: [[spoiler:She is actually the embodiment of the will of Ren Ashdoll, the Darkness Elemental Lord. Her goal is to ensure the awakening of the vessel of Ren Ashdoll's power, which is currently Kamito]]. |

| 308 | * TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: Uses Hell Blast, the most powerful darkness spell, for everyone including elementalists, demons, and degenerated spirit ghosts. Kamito describes her as completely merciless. |
| 309 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:The reason she wanted Kamito to awaken as the Demon King was to use his powers to save the Elemental Lords from the Otherwordly Darkness. She was actually racing against time to awaken him, given that it was only a matter of time before Ren Ashdoll's contaminated will awakened, which would have caused the Demon King to become a pawn to the Otherwordly Darkness as well]]. |

| 318 | A steel sword spirit that takes the form of a young girl. She was sealed within a sword when Claire tries to form a contract with her at the beginning of the series. She fails, and Kamito is forced to form a contract instead to save her. |
| 319 | |
| 320 | Rumor has it she is the legendary Demon Slayer, the former contracted spirit of the Sacred Maiden Areishia, used to vanquish Demon King Solomon millennia ago. While Kamito and Claire disregard these rumors at first, both because Est lost her memories when Kamito made a contract with her and because there are plenty of so-called ''Demon Slayers'' the world over, they are eventually proven true. |
| 321 | ---- |
| 322 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade: Especially against other swords, as Est is a steel sword spirit of the highest class. Most opposing swords are destroyed by her on contact. |
| 323 | * AccidentalMurder: Est unknowingly killed Areishia Idriss, her previous master, when she absorbed all of Est's stored curses throughout the years. |
| 324 | * AntiMagic: Est has the ability to completely negate and repel magic. Everything she negates is actually absorbed into herself, and once it reaches a certain point, will be transferred to her master, killing them. |
| 325 | * BedmateReveal: When he wakes up in the morning, Kamito usually discovers Est sleeping next to him almost completely naked (almost, in that she's wearing thigh-high socks). |
| 326 | * {{BFS}}: Can turn into this. |
| 327 | * BroughtDownToBadass: Due to her incomplete contract, she can't even bring out 1/10th of her true power. Just note that even in her current state, she's still fully capable of defeating most spirits in one hit, and negating all but the most powerful spells. It's been stated that at her full power, even the Elemental Lords were terrified of her. |
| 328 | * CastFromHitPoints: Her powers gradually becomes this for her master. |
| 329 | * ClingyJealousGirl: While she usually doesn't mind the other girls, Restia really brings out this side of her, since Kamito is ''her'' master. |
| 330 | * TheDreaded: Restia mentions that even she would not dare make fun of Est if she was her original Sacred Sword self. Even the Elemental Lords are terrified of her. |
| 331 | * ElementalRockPaperScissors: As a Steel Elemental Spirit, she naturally have a harder time against Shield Elemental Spirits. "A harder time" as in it takes a [[AbsurdlySharpBlade little more effort for her to cut through them]]. |
| 332 | * EmotionlessGirl: She rarely shows any emotions on her face, though Kamito eventually learns to red her easily. |
| 333 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: When she first shows up in human form, Kamito sees her completely naked except for some thigh-high stockings. Later Rinslet has Fenrir attack him, only for Est to then put the wolf in its place. She also ends up bending Ellis's sword after she assumes he's being a playboy with a new girl. |
| 334 | * GodivaHair: She has a habit of wearing nothing but knee-high socks, with only her hair covering her body. |
| 335 | * IHaveManyNames: Her elemental waffe form is mainly known as Terminus Est, but is also called the Sacred Sword of Severian, and Demon Slayer. [[spoiler: After inherenting Restia's power, her sword form gains the names Terminus Est Zwei and Demon King's Sword when using it]]. |
| 336 | * InnocentFanserviceGirl: She doesn't get why Kamito says it's wrong for her to wear nothing but thigh-high socks. After all, [[OurNudityIsDifferent her legs are clothed so she's not showing anything important]]. |
| 337 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: Due to her incomplete contract with Kamito, her memories are fragmented and she can't recall much of her past. |
| 338 | * LegendaryWeapon: Est is potentially ''The Sacred Sword of Severian'', the legendary sword that Areishia Idriss once used to defeat the Demon King. However, Kamito notes that there are rumors of the Sacred Sword's possible location from all over the world. She really is the Sacred Sword. |
| 339 | * LightIsNotGood: Est certainly is good, the way her powers work on the other hand... |
| 340 | * MorphWeapon: Can freely change shape into any type of sword in order to suit her master's needs. |
| 341 | * MysticalWhiteHair: She has white hair to show her non-human nature and great power as a legendary steel spirit. |

| 343 | * NakedOnArrival: Her human form first appears naked in bed with Kamito. |
| 344 | * TheNeedless: As a spirit, she doesn't need to consume human foods. Her desire to eat is due to the influence of her previous master, Areishia. |
| 345 | * NoSell: Spirit magic is useless on her, as she has the most powerful anti-magic attribute. |
| 346 | * OurNudityIsDifferent: She considers her legs to be the only private regions of her body. She'll remove the rest of her clothing without a second thought, but suggestions that she remove her thigh-high stockings will bring immediate reprisal for perversion, and in some cases death threats. |
| 347 | * RedBaron: Known as the ''Demon Slayer''. |
| 348 | * ReiAyanamiExpy: She has white hair and milky white skin, rarely shows emotions, [[InnocentFanserviceGirl has a strange notion of nudity]], is not actually human and displays UndyingLoyalty for the main character. |
| 349 | * SeriousBusiness: In her human form, she has no issues being completely naked other than wearing some thigh-high stockings. But if she suspects Kamito wants her to take those off, she acts as if he were asking a normal girl to strip off her underwear. He does [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] the silliness of that logic. |
| 350 | * ShoutOutThemeNaming: Her name Terminus Est comes from the executioner's sword wielded by Severian, the protagonist of the tetralogy novel series ''Literature/TheBookOfTheNewSun'' written by Creator/GeneWolfe. |
| 351 | * SleepsInTheNude: She sleeps at Kamito's bed while wearing nothing but her socks. |
| 352 | * SplitPersonality: As a result of her incomplete contract with Kamito, Est was split into two personalities. The current Est, with limited recollection of her past, and Sacred Sword Est, her past self. |
| 353 | * SweetTooth: Est loves to eat sweets. Once, she ordered and consumed all the sweets on a restaurant menu. |
| 354 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Kamito. Her original self had this to Areishia as well. As they have become separate entities, Est's loyalty is now totally with Kamito. To drive this home, she declared that if Kamito became the Demon King, then she would be the Demon King's sword rather than betray him. |
| 355 | * UnholyHolySword: She's actually a demon sword. All the resentment/curses from the spirits slain by Est are absorbed by her and will eventually pass it onto her master. In the past, she unknowingly killed her previous master, Areishia Idriss and as a result, sealed herself in seclusion in order to never harm anyone ever again. Despite this, Kamito accepted Est, and upon victory in the Blade Dance, plans on using his wish to truly turn Est into a sacred sword. |

| 447 | * WorldsBestWarrior: As the creator of the Absolute Blade Arts, and contractor of a demon spirit, which are infamous for being borderline impossible for a human to commune with, she is widely considered the most powerful elementalist in the setting.

Her goal is revealed to be to awaken Kamito as the Demon King and use him to destroy the Elemental Lords, which would cause untold calamity to befall both Astral Zero and the human world.

She succeeded momentarily, but then it is all abruptly undone essentially because Claire refuses to cooperate. Then she throws everything she has at Kamito in a last-ditch effort to re-awaken him, and he kicks her ass without the Demon King's power. JerkAss she may be, but everything she had fought for was unraveled in front of her because Claire and Kamito basically said "no".]] |

''[[AllForNothing It was never going to work in the first place.]]'' She wants to kill the Elemental Lords to eliminate TheCorruption, but the Demon King is also corrupted. If Kamito had awakened, he would have destroyed the world in exactly the same method that she was trying to prevent.]] |
| 806 | * StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: [[spoiler:As the reincarnation of the Sacred Maiden, her strength is directly proportional to the power of the current Demon King. As the Demon King grows in power, so will her own. On the other hand, the weaker the Demon King becomes, the weaker she will become in turn.]] |
