29	* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: With Rumaty. They have different eye, skin, hair colors, and genders, but their facial and eye shapes are the same. [[spoiler: This foreshadows the two being cousins.]]
30	* InnocentInnuendo: "You can touch me anytime." Oh, ''Kajika.'' Of course, she said this to Rumaty, so he doesn't pick up on it either.
31	* KissingCousins: With [[spoiler: Rumaty.]]
32	* LethalChef: Big time. Just the mention of her "Special Stamina Soup" is enough to bring a reaction of TheDreaded from other characters. The only one who can stomach her cooking is Eugene.

34	* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Lee-Leng, [[spoiler: at first]].

45	* WiseBeyondHerYears: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]]. She can give great life advice, but she doesn't understand the social ramifications of, say, ''sleeping in the same bed as a prince.'' Or what different types of love are.

50	----
51	* ArrangedMarriage: To [[spoiler: his cousin Ling-Lee.]]

55	* BewareTheNiceOnes: ''Do not'' get him angry. Just... don't.
56	* BigBrotherMentor: Acts as one for Kajika and later Rumaty.
57	* BrokenAce: He's the leader of the Huang family, [[TheChessmaster a skilled strategist in both business and politics]], [[BadassBookworm skilled in martial arts]], and generally more mature than a good portion of the cast. [[BeneathTheMask Underneath it all]], he's been suppressing all emotional weakness to the point that he seemed like an EmptyShell when Kajika first met him, and desperately trying to hide how much he struggles with his SkewedPriorities.
58	* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The Brooding Boy to [[spoiler: Kajika's Gentle Girl.]]
59	* TheChessmaster: When it comes to business and politics.

61	* EmotionSuppression: This becomes a major issue later on.
62	* EnemyMine: Not a severe case, but a minor version is invoked with him and Eugene. They openly admit their mutual dislike for each other and have almost explicitly stated that they work together only because of their love for Kajika and for the sake of her protection.
63	* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Kajika, [[spoiler: at first]].
64	* MissingMom: She died in a sanatorium when he was five.
65	* [[spoiler: OfficialCouple: With Kajika.]]
66	* SkewedPriorities: PlayedForDrama. He's had it drilled into him from birth to prioritize the Huang family above all else, and is now completely incapable of putting anything he cares about before the family, [[spoiler: including his feelings for Kajika]].
67	** Overcoming this is a large part of his CharacterDevelopment at the end of the series, [[spoiler: eventually leading him to step down from the position of head of the Huang family. Things go downhill from there, though]].
68	* StepfordSmiler: Completed with DullEyesOfUnhappiness.
69	* SugarAndIcePersonality: He is cooly polite and distant to most people, but he can be quite kind and warm to thoses he cares about.

71	* [[spoiler: VictoriousChildhoodFriend]]
72	[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder: Rumaty Ivan di Raginei]]
75	A prince of Raginei and second in line for the throne. Rumaty first appears at Lee-Leng's uncle's house in the greenhouse. He saves Kajika from a man trying to take advantage of her. They bond when they escape the mansion and are nearly killed in a assassination attempt. From their they quickly become friends, something Rumaty never experienced growing up. He and Kajika are noted to look alike by multiple characters.
76	[[spoiler: He is exiled by his paranoid brother and spends a year in the Burnsworth mansion with Kajika. Rumaty eventually ascends to the throne after realizing that his brother is a horrible king.]]
77	----
78	* TheBeautifulElite
79	* BigBrotherWorship: He really respects and looks up to his elder brother Somand, and wants to do everything he can to support Somand as king. [[spoiler: This becomes tragic, as Somand doesn't understand his feelings at all, and is terrified that he'll try to usurp the throne. Eventually, he tries to have him killed.]]
80	* BirdsOfAFeather: With Kajika. They're both straightforward, headstrong, and the children of very powerful people. They also tend to inspire loyalty in others.
81	* CainAndAbel: The Able to Somand's Cain. Tragically, he really does love his brother, but Somand is incredibly paranoid.
82	* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: See Kajika's entry
83	* {{Determinator}}: He is relentless in his attempts to get to Raginei, [[spoiler: until Lee Leng is shot]].
84	* [[spoiler: FirstKiss: With [[KissingCousins Kajika]].]]
85	* FishOutOfWater: When seeing the real world for the first time, having been very sheltered as a prince of Raginei.
86	* ForcefulKiss: To Kajika. He ''does'' ask first... he just doesn't wait for a reply.
87	* [[spoiler: TheGoodKing: After Somand's death, Rumaty is crowned king and presumably brings prosperity back to Raginei.]]
88	* HairTriggerTemper: Especially early on in the series.
89	* HeroicBSOD: When he realizes that [[spoiler: his brother tried to kill him]].
90	* HonorBeforeReason: Early on in the series. [[CharacterDevelopment He grows out of it somewhat.]]
91	* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: While differences in hair, eyes, and gender make them easy to tell apart, he Kajika have very similar faces, which is often commented on. Isaac even mistakes Kajika for him once, [[spoiler: when he was half passed-out from being shot,]] and Lee-Leng begins subconsciously treating him similarly to how he treats Kajika because of this. [[spoiler: This is hardly surprising, as they're actually first cousins.]]
92	* [[spoiler: KissingCousins: With Kajika. They were not aware of this.]]
93	* LuminescentBlush: After developing feelings for Kajika, this happens when they have [[IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn mom]][[ShipTease ents.]]
94	* MissingMom: She passed away not long after he was born.
95	* RebelPrince: Prior to CharacterDevelopment.
96	* [[spoiler: RomanticFalseLead: At first it seems like he and Kajika might actually get together (due to Lee Leng not being a candidate and them getting the most relationship development).]]
97	* [[spoiler: RomanticRunnerUp: He was the most likely to marry Kajika. Unfortunately for him, Lee Leng existed.]]
98	* RulingCouple: He wants to be this with Kajika.
99	* SiblingYinYang: With Somand.
100	* UncannyFamilyResemblance: He looks just like his grandfather Machaty.
101	* TheWisePrince: Post CharacterDevelopment
102	[[/folder]]
103
104	[[folder: Eugene De Volkan]]
105	Eugene is the ultimate [[TheCasanova Casanova]]. Women [[EvenTheGuysWantHim (And Men!)]] [[LoveAtFirstSight fall for him as soon as they see his face]]. He is just ''that'' pretty. But this beauty hides a sad man just waiting to die.
106	Due to his silver hair and green eyes, Kajika believes that Mustafa's spirit resides within him.

109	* TheCasanova
110	* DeadpanSnarker

114	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Yui's brother after helping him put on a yukata.
115	* TheGadfly: He tends to bug people just because he can.
116	* [[spoiler: IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: This is how his feelings for Kajika eventually turn out. He explicitly states that he'll never attempt to lay a hand on her, and that he'll support her with whoever she decides to marry in the end. That being said, he still finds it quite painful, even more than he thought it would be, when she finally gets together with Lee-Leng.]]
117	* LadyKillerInLove: For Kajika. [[TearJerker Sadly,]] this takes a whole new meaning considering all of the women who have been DrivenToSuicide over him.
118	* MissingMom: She committed suicide on her 20th birthday.
119	* TheRival: To Lee-Leng. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded by Toranosuke.]] [[RunningGag Multiple times.]] He does't seem to mind Rumaty or Carl, though.
120	[[/folder]]
121
122	[[folder: Carl Rosenthal]]
123	The son of Harry Burnsworth's [[ArchEnemy enemy]], who none the less gets along very well with Kajika. He has a fear of women stemming from the bullying his sisters subject him to.
124	----
125	* TheBeautifulElite
126	* {{Claustrophobia}}: Courtesy of his [[BigSisterBully sisters]].
127	* [[HeManWomanHater Does Not Like Women]]: Do to being bullied by his older sisters. The only exception is Kajika.
128	* HeroicBSOD: When his father has a heart attack and is dying, and he realizes that he's not sad at all, fearing that his sister's accusations of a LackOfEmpathy are true after all. He gets over it when his father gets better and he feels happy about it.
129	* IAmNotMyFather: A large part of his early CharacterDevelopment is realizing that he is not his father, and that he doesn't have to try to follow in his footsteps, fanatically pursuing revenge on the Burnsworths, just to make him happy.
130	* MissingMom: Sge divorced his father soon after he was born, and he doesn't seem to ever see her.
131	* SonOfAWhore: His mother was a hostess who married his father (who was 30 years her senior) because of his vast wealth. They divorced after only a year, though.
132	* YoungestChildWins: He is much more talented than his older sisters, who are in general fairly stupid and useless in business matters, as well the one set to inherit the Rosenthal company. He's also far more trusted by their father than they are. This is part of why they hate him so much.
