9	* DeadpanSnarker: Often becomes this when reacting to the ridiculousness of the situation or [[SanityBall to one another.]]

11	* LightDarknessJuxtaposition: Nike wield the power of light, while Kukuri wields the power of darkness.
12	* OlderThanTheyLook: They're both 13 years old but the art-style of the series makes them look like at least 8.
13	* OnlyOneName

23	----
24	* AssKickingPose: Parodied with his "Cool Pose." It's an actual ability of Nike's, but it doesn't do much except let him float and look cool.
25	* CoolSword: The Dazzler, his magical [[LightEmUp light sword]], can transform into [[ElementalPowers one of the four elements]], provided that he has been properly acknowledged by the four Elemental Kings.
26	* DirtyKid: Nike occasionally flirts with and/or gets aroused by mostly every girl he meets, much to [[ClingyJealousGirl Kukuri's]] annoyance.
27	* ElementalPowers: His magical sword, the Dazzler, can transform into [[PlayingWithFire one]] [[DishingOutDirt of]] [[MakingASplash the]] [[BlowYouAway four]] [[ElementalPowers elements]].
28	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Juju and Runrun are the only ones (aside from his parents) who call him Nike, everyone else refers to him as "Hero".
29	* GuileHero: Being of the thief class, he is unsurprisingly this, especially with his "Cheater Blade" technique.
30	* IJustWantToBeNormal: Played with. Nike, at first, expresses his hesitance to be the hero, wanting to be a mage instead. He eventually grows out of this.
31	* KleptomaniacHero: Subverted as he turns out to be thief class.
32	** KleptomaniacHeroFoundUnderwear: he found a pair inside a crate in Nanacona's house. [[ClingyJealousGirl Kukuri]] [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom wasn't pleased.]]
33	* LaserBlade: His Dazzler is this by default when not using an element.
34	* LightEmUp: His Dazzler Sword and the Cool Pose in the reboot.

42	----
43	* AdaptationalDyeJob: Kukuri has dark red hair in the original, brown in ''Doki Doki Densetsu'' and bright red in the remake.
44	* BerserkButton: Kukuri doesn't like to be called "rolly-polly".
45	* BlackMage: She is this in ability, but a WhiteMagicianGirl in personality.
46	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She is usually a cheerful and friendly person, but she can get pretty violent when angered, even without using her magic.
47	* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: This presumably happened to her at the end of the series, since she lost her ability to use Guru Guru as soon as she reached adolescence. Gets subverted in the second Manga when she got her powers back due to her desire to have adventures with Nike again.]]
48	* ClingyJealousGirl: She really hates it when Nike ogles at other girls.
49	* ChildMage
50	* TheCutie
51	* DarkIsNotEvil: Kukuri uses Guru Guru, which is black magic, and Kukuri herself is aligned to the dark element, yet she is one of the good guys.
52	* TheDitz: She starts out as this, coming up with such ideas like the king must be a giant because of the size of his castle and sticking coins on her face because she doesn't know what money is for.
53	* FieryRedhead: Averted. She's quite a sweetheart despite using fire magic most of the time although [[BewareTheNiceOnes she does have her moments.]]
54	* FluffyTamer: During Level 4 of her Training Tower, she is expected to tame a fearsome tiger and it took her months to get past the tests before this one. She's got the beast giving her rides before her guide is finished dancing. She also starts calling her single most dangerous summon, an EldritchAbomination that summons lightning, "Li'l Behm Behm".
55	* GeometricMagic: Guru Guru magic relies on her tracing of magic circles to function.
56	* IneptMage: Downplayed. Although she can usually cast Guru Guru with no difficulty, there are times where she would screw it up, especially early in the series, accompanied with weird creatures popping up. In the first series, [[spoiler: after ten failed Guru Gurus, she is transformed into [[CuteMonsterGirl her demon form.]]]]
57	* KiddieKid: She is 13 years old, but usually acts and sounds more like an 8-year-old at most, occasionally throwing tantrums and having a liking for cute things and [[SweetTooth sweets]]. It doesn't help that she is [[OlderThanTheyLook drawn much younger than her age]], especially in the first and second series.
58	* LastOfHisKind: she is the last known Migu Migu. [[spoiler: Though that turns out to not be the case at all since the Migu Migu tribe live in the Heavenly Realm in Anastashia and they visit Alahabica all the time out of boredom]]
59	* NiceGirl
60	* PlayingWithFire: Her Ground Snake, Salamander Tail, and Doki Doki Pumpkin Guru Guru makes use of fire for attacks.
61	* PowerIncontinence: After receiving Gatari's divine revelation, Kukuri initially has trouble using Guru Guru, sending her spinning uncontrollably everytime she uses it.
62	* SmittenTeenageGirl: She is occasionally this, especially after she sees Nike for the first time after they couldn't see each other for six months due to her Guru Guru training. Interestingly, she just turned 13 at this point.
63	* StrawberryShorthand: Her Strawberry Serpent Guru Guru can shoot strawberry projectiles against the enemies.
64	* SweetTooth: After she discovers chocolate, which her grandma kept away from her all her life. The fact it helps restore MP gives her an excuse to indulge.
65	* SwissArmyTears: Weaponized by Kukuri with [[spoiler: the World Fixer Guru Guru to undo [[TakenForGranite Donkama's petrification curse.]]]]
66	* VocalEvolution: Kukuri sounds noticeably higher in the later episodes of the first series and ''Doki Doki Densetsu''.
67	* WhiteMagicianGirl: Sweet and bubbly as she is, has the personality, but is a BlackMage in ability.
