7	-->'''Voiced by:''' Minami Shinoda (Japanese), Creator/StephanieWittels (English)
8
9	A fifteen-year old witch from Yokohama who moves in with her relatives the Kuramotos. She has a black cat named Chito as a familiar.
10	----
11	* DarkIsNotEvil:
12	** Her magical affinity is [[CastingAShadow darkness]] but that just means she can use people's shadows as mana.
13	** Basically lampshaded when first revealed, as she and her friends are told that affinity with Darkness is pointedly ''not'' like the [[Franchise/StarWars Dark Side of the Force]].
14	* DitzyGenius: She's pretty skilled at magic, but she's quite lacking in other departments, like social skills (not getting that Nao might not appreciate getting a creepy and highly poisonous Mandrake plant as a gift, for example), she utterly lacks a sense of direction, and she's frequently quite childish.
15	* {{Familiar}}/ AllWitchesHaveCats: Her cat Chito
16	* FriendToAllLivingThings: She even likes frogs.
17	* HimeCut: Her hair is in what is basically a hime cut, probably to show both her girlishness and her devotion to an old traditional practice like witchcraft.
18	* InTraining: To be a witch.
19	* NatureLover: As Kei says upon seeing her get really excited in the forest, "Witches get really pumped up when they're in the forest and stuff."
20	* NoSenseOfDirection: Kei comes to pick her up at the bus station because she's known for this. When she arrives she denies it and promptly sets off in the wrong direction, although she manages to get by well later with proper directions.
21	* ProperTightsWithASkirt: Very rarely are her bare legs visible. She usually wears either long pants or black tights in conjunction with a skirt or shorts.
22	* RavenHairIvorySkin
23	* SiblingYinYang: She and her sister are very different, as Lampshaded by Inukai.
24	* WitchClassic: Bordering on CuteWitch. She wears black robes (occasionally) and rides broomsticks and has a black cat, the whole shebang.
25
26	!Chito
27	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chito.jpg]]
28	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiKayano (Japanese), Creator/TiffanyGrant (English)
29
30	Chito (or Shade) is Makoto's cat and familiar. She is the standard black.
31	----
32	* AllWitchesHaveCats: She's Makoto's cat.
33	* CatsAreMagic: Her meows can only be understood by a witch.
34	* TalkingAnimal: As long as you are a witch.
35	* TheUnintelligible: Only Makoto and other witches knows what she's saying.
36	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: As Makoto explains later in the manga, Chito is not really a "cat" per-se, but it's rather a cognizant magical being in the form of a cat.
37	* WeightWoe: Nao tells her that she has gained weight, she responds by sitting on her neck.
38
39	!Akane Kowata
40	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/akane_kowata.jpg]]
41	-->'''Voiced by:''' Kana Aoi (Japanese), Creator/ChristinaKelly (English)
42
43	Another witch and Makoto's older sister who drops in to see Mako on a whim after wandering around Africa. Playful, doting and carefree, Mako claims she's a big deal in the witch-world.
44	----
45	* BigSisterMentor: Although how useful she is as a mentor is up for debate, but both Makoto and Chinatsu consider her so.
46	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Is actually very competent at magic... when she isn't messing around... and bothers to show up at all.
47	* CoolBigSis: to Makoto, but also acts like this toward Chinatsu and Kei.
48	* ChildProdigy: Makes chocolates that turn people into animals (very difficult magic) on a whim and they mostly work.
49	* ButNowIMustGo: Tends to leave just as suddenly as she appeared and with about as much explanation.
50	* TheDreaded: She is called "The Mountain Eraser" because years before, she accidentally turned a mountain into sand, and it scattered with the wind.
51	* EccentricMentor: To Makoto and Chinatsu.
52	* {{Familiar}}/ AllWitchesHaveCats: Her familiar is a laid-back Siamese cat named Kenny.
53	* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: She drinks a lot and most of her traveling seems to be finding new places to party.
54	* TheLadette: Likes to sit around, freeload and drink.
55	* MacGuffin: The rock salt block she gave Makoto is later used as an extraction aid for drawing out mana from Shore Rabbit's teeth.
56	* MysticalWhiteHair: Has light hair, she's known to be a big deal in the magical world and is the most overtly magical person in the manga.
57	* MyNewGiftIsLame: She's a terrible gift-giver. Her souvenirs from her African journey are all raw materials, such as crude oil and cacao beans. And a T-shirt that happens to read "Burkina Faso" in Japanese.
58	* RedBaron: Several, all of which are massively embarrassing for her;
59	** "Mountain Eraser", for turning a whole mountain into sand. Later she gains "Cliff Collapser" for the same reason.
60	*** She later almost got "The Vomit Witch" due to vomiting in front of a lot of witches, being heavily drunk and flying. Because this incident also involved an unprecedented act of ''stopping time'' that affected other planes and dimensions, she was commissioned to open the Firekeep Gate and retrieve the world's source of fire for a ceremony, or the nickname would become ''official and permanent''.
61	* SiblingYinYang: She and her sister are very different, as Lampshaded by Inukai.
62	* ShipperOnDeck: She is one for Kei and Nao, though they both vehemently deny it and tend to ignore her suggestions.
63	* {{Teleportation}}: Her main mode of travel.
64	* TimeStandsStill: In order to not miss her train (and while completely sloshed) she summons a spirit to stop time the world over. The only ones unaffected are witches and their familiars and the incident causes enough of a ruckus that the magic association made her open the Firekeep Gate as penance. Failure would land her the moniker "the vomit witch."
65	* WalkingTheEarth: Said to be "journeying" aka wandering around wherever, possibly just on a whim. Kei calls it "living the vagabond life." Previous places she's been include Libya, Ghana and Mali. She can use magic to travel great distances instantly.
66	* WitchClassic: A HotWitch, or she seems to think so at least.
67
68	!Kenny
69	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flying_witch_03_21_kenny.jpg]]
70	-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaneSakura (Japanese), Kyle Jones (English)
71
72	Akane's siamese cat familiar. Passive and wise, Kenny is an anthropologist recreationally, and is Anzu's mentor.
73	----
74	* EyesAlwaysShut: He's a Siamese Cat, and this is often done to show how he's laid back.
75	* HiddenDepths: He studied Archeology and traveled the world on his own.
76	* TheMentor: To Anzu. Kenny advises her and helps to nurse her interest in Archeology.
77	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Like in Chito's case, it's not really a "cat", but a magical being in the form of a cat.
78
79	!Emiko Kowata and Papa Kowata
80	[[quoteright:174:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emiko_kowata_6.jpg]]
81	[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dad_kowata.jpg]]
82	Makoto and Alkane parents currently living in Yokohama.
83	----
84	* UnnamedParent: We don't know the dads name.
85	* OpenMindedParent: Both parents are openly OK with Makoto living out in Aomori with the Kuramotos, as it tends to be a rite of passage for witches to go out and find themselves as they come of age. Emiko is less accepting of Akane's flitting around the globe however, not least because a witch with the ability to teleport herself ''anywhere'' never checks in at home.

90	[[folder: The Kuramoto Family]]
91	!Kei Kuramoto
92	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kei_kuramoto.jpg]]
93	-->'''Voiced by:''' Shinsuke Sugawara (Japanese), Creator/AdamGibbs (English)
94
95	The unusually calm eldest son of the Kuramotos, he's usually providing straight-faced humor. He is a very dedicated cook, and as such, the people that meet him deem that he has somewhat girly hobbies.
96	----
97	%% ZCE * CaptainObvious: Played for laughs.
98	* BlatantLies: Most of his jokes are lies told with complete seriousness.
99	* FantasticallyIndifferent: The very first magical thing that happens in the story is Makoto and Chinatsu swooping in on a broom—he gives zero f*cks about it.
100	* GreenThumb: really good at gardening and teaches Makoto and Chinatsu how to grow a vegetable garden. He also seems to weed for fun.
101	* HasAType: He's not one to easily get flustered, but has an admitted attraction towards Inukai.

103	* OhMeAccentsSlipping: Kei's accent gets thicker whenever he's farming or doing other rural activities.
104	* RealMenWearPink: When Makoto remarks that he seems to enjoy cooking, she also says it makes him a little girly. His response is, [[HoYay "For real? Guess I'll be popular with the guys."]]
105	* StraightMan: A lot of his comedy comes from his FantasticallyIndifferent attitude played agains the strange surroundings. Even his WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes moment isn't delivered with the over the top comedy of others but in a more subdued matter-of-fact manner.
106	%% ZCE * {{Troll}}: ''Massive'' troll. PlayedForLaughs.
107	* UnfazedEveryman: No powers himself but is completely unfazed by the magic that goes on around him.

115	----
116	* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Always making comments about how such and such things is a 'grown-up' taste or 'grown up' attitude.
117	-->'''Chinatsu''': Yeah, I heard you stop getting surprised when you grow up.
118	* ConstantlyCurious: always curious about witch things, or asking lots of questions. In chapter 8 she has a rapid question and answer session with the fortune teller.
119	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Hates ''bakke'' ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petasites_japonicus a type of sprout native to Japan]])and says it's an adult taste that is not for kids.
120	* FriendlyRivalry: With a Shore Rabbit she nicknames Hamabe. But it's mostly played for laughs.
121	* GirlishPigtails: As the youngest character in the series.
122	* LegacyCharacter: She's a fervent follower of Akane's playful brand of magic.
123	* MundaneUtility:[[spoiler: What did Chinatsu do when she actually gained magic? Why, soak Inukai and Makoto with the magical equivalent of a squirt gun, of course!]]
124	* NiceGirl: Chinatsu is a very sweet young girl, as well as an eager apprentice for Akane and Makoto.
125	* {{Sleepyhead}}: She tends to fall asleep whenever Makoto has to give her reports. Given that Makoto has to make them at night, Chinatsu is usually pooped by the time Mako has to go out.
126	* TagalongKid: Often tagging along with Makoto and her sister.
127	* TranslatorBuddy: To her dad, because of his thick accent.
128	* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: When after [[spoiler: being accepted as a witch]], Makoto asks her what she wants to do, and she says she wants to [[Literature/HanselAndGretel build a gingerbread house]] and [[ChildEater eat children]]. Then runs off saying [[JokingMode she was kidding]].

139	----
140	* CaptainObvious: Mom Kuramoto, just like her son.
141	* OpenMindedParent:
142	** both of the Kuramotos. They took in Makoto without a second thought and treat her warmly, allow PrettyFreeloaders like Akane to loaf around whenever they want to and [[spoiler: encourage Chinatsu to learn to be a witch, saying, "Wow, a witch! So cool, do it, do it!"]]. Might border on HandsOffParenting.
143	** lampshaded later by Akane: "Your parents are ''really'' lenient, aren't they?"
144	* TheUnintelligible: Uncle, because of his thick accent.
145	* UnfazedEveryman[=/=]FantasticallyIndifferent: Just like their son Kei, whenever strange things happen they take them in stride. Inukai lampshades this when Chinatsu's mom sees her in human wolf form and just says "Oh! What a cute guest!"

154	----
155	* BraidsOfAction: done in GirlishPigtails, to highlight her tomboyish personality.
156	* BrutalHonesty: She refuses Makoto's creepy present of a Mandrake immediately. Later, she tells Chito she seems to have gained weight.
157	* MuggleBestFriend: To both Kei and Makoto, although Kei isn't a witch; he's just in on the weirdness.
158	* OddFriendship: She and Chito get along really well. Chito considers her very pretty, while Nao likes to spend time with Chito. Keep in mind, Chito is a ''cat''.
159	* StraightMan: To everyone, but especially Kei and Makoto.
160	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: She's often ticked off at Akane's suggestion of her and Kei becoming an item. It's not that she would mind being with Kei, but she's more uncomfortable at Akane's insistence.
161	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's afraid of frogs, so [[{{Troll}} of course Kei]] tells Makoto to show one to her.

183	* TheStoic: She always wears a morose expression, even when surprised.

193	* {{Invisibility}}: Hers can be forcibly canceled by application of an energy-altering magic circle, but she can re-assume it without issue.
194	* OurGhostsAreDifferent: She appears to be fully sentient and not tied to the cafe itself. There is also mention that ghosts can 'go where humans cannot', but this is only briefly touched upon.
195	* Really700YearsOld: She was born in Meiji 39 [[note]]1906[[/note]], but looks about as old as Akane.

216
217	Akane's beleaguered acquaintance who meets Makoto and company at a Cherry Blossom festival working as a fortune teller. She is also a witch, if one of questionable morals.

218	----
219	* BeautifulAllAlong: Invoked. She is noted to be very beautiful by various characters; that is, whenever she's not in her dog form. She's from Akita, an area known for beautiful women, which Chinatsu points out makes her an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akita_(dog) Akita-inu]] and her canine form in fact resembles that breed, much to her distress.

As such, she opts not to drink it for the time being.]]

233	* UnwittingTestSubject: She believes Akane tricked her into eating one of her chocolates that turn people into animals. It turns out she got drunk enough to willingly eat the chocolate, despite Akane's warnings, and couldn't remember when she sobered up.
