11	[[folder:Prince Dios]]
12	!!Prince Dios
13	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Hiro Yuuki (Japanese); Creator/CrispinFreeman (English)
14	A wandering prince on a white horse who comforted Utena when she lost her parents. During the duels, his ghost falls from the sky to give her his powers.
15	----
16	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Like Anthy and Akio, he has a dark skin tone. His depiction as the typical European fairy tale prince makes it even stranger.
17	* BigBad: [[spoiler:In the movie, Dios is possibly the closest thing to a central antagonist, trying to keep Utena and Anthy from escaping Ohtori.]]
18	* BornOfMagic: [[spoiler:In TheMovie, it's revealed that Anthy created him using magic.]]
19	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:He feels compelled to save every damsel in distress. This is taken to such an extreme extent that he utterly ruins his relationship with his younger sister by constantly neglecting her in favor of everyone who "needs him", and physically exhausting himself almost to the point of death.]]
20	* DecompositeCharacter: A strange version in the movie: [[spoiler:Prince Dios is not actually the same person as Akio (or even where Akio came from as in the manga), he is a creation of Anthy's magic she made based on her brother.]]
21	* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the third arc, his face during the duels looks like that of Akio. [[spoiler:The finale reveals that Akio is at least partially what has become of him.]]
22	* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: In the anime, he is one to the IdealHero KnightInShiningArmor. Ostiensibly, he was a selfless savior, defender of women, and a PhysicalGod OfficerAndAGentleman who MinoredInAssKicking. Unfortunately, he also [[MovingTheGoalposts never drew a line with his subjects]], eventually exhuasting his incredible power. His legacy was merely a patriarchal system that [[TheChosenOne elevated a handful of men]] and [[DontBeAHero smothered the rest]], keeping people [[AllTakeAndNoGive dependent]]. His personal life was also nonexistent, leaving his little sister neglected. And seeing as dragons and witches haven't destroyed the world during his centuries-long absence, [[WasItReallyWorthIt it's hard to say how much good he even did]]...
23	* GreaterScopeParagon: He is the primary source of Utena's inspiration, as his appearance following her parents' death led to her deciding to become a prince herself.
24	** [[spoiler: Also eventually deconstructed six ways from Sunday in the Anime and Movie once it's revealed that Dios is merely an artificial ''symbol'' for goodness, nothing more. By controlling this symbol and the inspiration it brings, [[BigBad Akio]] can manipulate both Utena by being her ([[DramaticIrony misremembered]]) savior and Anthy by [[ICanChangeMyBeloved through (false) hope of redemption]]. Futhermore, Dios' ubiquity encourages the duelists to embrace unrealistic standards and goals at the cost of personal growth. [[AnAesop Remember kids: be VERY careful when picking your heroes]].]]
25	* KnightInShiningArmor: ''The Tale of the Rose'' depicts him as the Rose Prince who rescues every damsel in distress.
26	* LightIsGood: He's a sparkly, beautiful prince often portrayed with HolyBacklight, dresses in immaculate white regalia and lives in a {{shining\|city}} [[BigFancyCastle palace]]. His CoolSword is likewise shiny and brightly colored, and he has a glistening rose FlowerMotif. To a lesser extent, Ohtori Academy is itself is a massive, brightly-lit landscape where marble columns and European architecture feature heavily. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope NOT]]. All the above is a thin veneer covering a [[LightIsNotGood very ugly, sordid reality]]. And most of the "light" elements are [[MasterOfIllusion just illusions anyway]].]]
27	%%* PrinceCharming:
28	* SaveThePrincess: His mythical role, and the one he plays in the prologue, saving a young princess Utena from despair following the deaths of her parents, partly informing Utena's own desire to protect Anthy during the duels. [[spoiler: ''Heavily'' deconstructed come TheReveal: Dios made girls "into Princesses" ''by'' rescuing them from anything from legitimate danger to mild inconvenience; the Princesses themselves, meanwhile, StayInTheKitchen. This framing, combined with Dios only dying after his sister rescues ''him'', leads to an unpleasant conclusion: that for all his supposed power, [[AllTakeAndNoGive it's actually the Prince who depends on the helplessness of the Princesses]].]]
29	* SealedGoodInACan: {{Implied\|Trope}}. In every continuity, all the audience initially learns of him is that he resides in an unreachable floating castle, that [[MysteriousWaif Anthy the Rose Bride]] can summon his InfinityPlusOneSword, and that Utena can either summon or [[WillingChanneler channel]] him to [[GuardianEntity grant her victory]]. Beyond this, information is vague, but all evidence points to him being both powerful enough to [[ArcWords bring the world revolution]] and a benevolent, selfless savior of the weak prior to his current imprisonment. [[DeconstructorFleet This being Utena]], this gets several subversions depending on the version:
30	** Manga: [[spoiler:Nearly played straight - Dios is indeed imprisoned, but only his [[SealedBadassInACan power]] and [[LiteralSplitPersonality his "good" side]]; his EnemyWithout (End of The World, aka Akio Ohtori) is unfortunately free as a bird.]]
31	** Anime: [[spoiler:"Dios" (as well as his castle) were illusions all along. Dios himself is real and free - he just cranked FallenHero up in the intervening centuries and became Akio. His [[SealedBadassInACan power]], on the other hand…]]
32	*** This is one of the ''many'' potential interpretations of the ending.
33	** Movie: [[spoiler:Dios [[{{Tulpa}} was never real to begin with]], born from [[RealityWarper Anthy's]] [[BigBrotherWorship need to see her brother as a hero and protector]], instead of the [[SissyVillain weak]], [[BrotherSisterIncest perverted]] {{rap\|e as drama}}ist he really was.]]
34	* SignificantDoubleCasting: In the English Dub, Dios shares [[Creator/CrispinFreeman the same voice actor]] as Touga which is significant as [[spoiler: Touga pretends to be the prince that [[HeroWorshipper inspired Utena's values]], when in reality it was Dios or rather Akio.]]
35	* StayInTheKitchen: [[spoiler:While he never outright hates women, he does consider them to be powerless on their own. When Utena swore that she would become a prince to save Anthy from her FateWorseThanDeath, he warned her that she would eventually become a woman and thus become unable to fulfill her goal. In the GrandFinale, his ghost tells Utena that a girl is too helpless to handle power. Dios' attitude in the movie is ''even worse'', thinking women should be passive and quiet, even in horrendously abusive circumstances.]]
36	* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: [[spoiler:In the anime, Prince Dios is Akio's persona from earlier in his life.]]

40	!!Mrs. Ohtori
41	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YokoSoumi (Japanese)
42	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrs_ohtori_6382.jpg]]
43	Kanae's mother and the chairman's wife.
44	----
45	* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:She poisoned Kanae's father and is sleeping with Akio, and doesn't care at all about what her daughter, Kanae, might feel about this]].
46	* EvilMatriarch: [[spoiler:She's poisoning Kanae's father and sleeping with her fiance. She tries to pull this act on Akio by reminding him that his position at the Academy depends on her family, but he completely turns the conversation around and reminds her who's ''really'' the dominant one.]]
47	* FallenPrincess: In a series that loves playing with PrincessTropes, she represents what happens when the princess grows up, gets older, [[spoiler:and is still unfulfilled.]]
48	* HiddenEyes: We never see her eyes while she's on screen.
49	* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:She doesn't care if her husband is dying (thanks to her) or that she's sleeping with the man Kanae is going to marry, but Akio seems to enjoy going out of his way to passive aggressively remind her that she's hurting both of them.]]
50	* MrsRobinson: An almost textbook version of this trope, since she's an older woman trying to reclaim what's left of her girlhood in the worst possible way.
51	%%* ReadyForLovemaking: It's very subtle, but a close look at what she's wearing shows this.
52	* SmallRoleBigImpact: She's on screen for about a minute and a half total, but what she does then ties in heavily to the overall themes of the story. Also given that WordOfGod says [[spoiler:she poisoned her husband at Akio's prompting]] much of the series occurs because of her.
53	* WickedStepmother: Even though she's Kanae's mother and not stepmother, she acts in this fashion, [[spoiler:cavorting with Akio]] and caring very little about her ill husband's health or Kanae's well-being. And [[WordOfGod according to the screen writer]], [[spoiler:''she'' was the one who poisoned her husband at Akio's prompting, just to put the icing on the cake]].

57	!!Ruka Tsuchiya
58	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NozomuSasaki (Japanese), Creator/WayneGrayson (English)
59	[[quoteright:319:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Couples_19_4978.png]]
60	A former member of the student council who left due to a severe illness. After the Black Rose Duels end, he returns to Ohtori with a plan in mind.
61	----
62	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Juri: he's not only a better fencer than her, he also gets into a relationship with Shiori, the girl Juri loves. [[spoiler: And all this while being deathly ill, implying that he would be even BETTER if not for that.]]
63	* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Taunts Utena and reminds her of the illness he's just getting over...while effortlessly evading her strikes before parrying her next attack and shoving her from behind.
64	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's a former member of the student council as well as Juri's former fencing captain, [[spoiler:and the only character to ''defeat Juri outright''.]] Given the latter's performance throughout the entire series, that has to say something. He also gives Utena a good amount of hell in their duel, but in an odd case, he loses, though Utena's finishing strike actually left her lethargic and Anthy has to help her stand.
65	* BackForTheDead: He attended Ohtori Academy in the past but has been absent due to a long illness. [[spoiler:He's secretly terminally ill when he returns to the school.]]
66	* BorrowedCatchPhrase: Says Touga's current catchphrase in one episode, and even asks Touga to finish the phrase, saying it was his line.
67	%%* TheCasanova
68	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and eyes.
69	* DeadManWalking: [[spoiler:When he shows up during the 3rd arc he only has ''days'' left to live.]]
70	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: To an extent. It's implied that his dealing with End Of The World is the only thing keeping him from succumbing to his fatal illness while he's at school. When he sees how badly he's hurt Juri and vows to "make things right again", he leaves school and we learn through the Shadow Play Girls that he died of his illness the next day.]]
71	* GreenEyedMonster: It could be argued that he treated Shiori in the way he did [[spoiler:seducing her etc., and then breaking up and humiliating her in public the way he did]], was because he was jealous that Juri loved Shiori in a way she would never love him.
72	* HandsOnApproach: He corrects the fencing students in a very suggestive way.
73	* HiddenHeartOfGold: In retrospect, every action he took was to [[spoiler:free Juri from her unhealthy bond to Shiori]], and there's a good chance he was [[spoiler:making Juri hate him on purpose]].
74	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:To Juri, even if it means making her hate him.]]
75	* IncompatibleOrientation: With Juri, which he seems to be aware of.
76	* JerkassHasAPoint: He describes Shiori as a shallow, lying, two-faced manipulator when explaining to Juri why he doesn't want her back as a girlfriend. [[spoiler: He's not wrong on any of these points given she IS a liar and a manipulator who's done some pretty awful things to hurt Juri. Not to mention she only showed an interest in Ruka when everyone else did ''and'' when she noticed how focused Juri seemed on him.]]
77	* KickTheDog: ''Three times in a span of two episodes''.
78	* KickTheSonOfABitch: The above said, it's honestly hard to feel too sorry for Shiori given [[spoiler: how much she went out of her way to hurt Juri due to jealousy and internalized homophobia when Juri never did anything to hurt Shiori. Ruka basically gave Shiori a taste of her own medicine.]]
79	* LoveTriangle: Between him, Shiori, and Juri.
80	* ManipulativeBastard: [[ZigZaggedTrope Toyed with]]. At first we're led to believe he's another manipulative prick just like most of the other males, but by the end of Juri's duel it's revealed that [[spoiler:every cruel thing he did was to discredit Shiori and free Juri from her self-destructive obsession with the girl]], though that still doesn't make his actions completely palatable nor excusable.
81	* MrFanservice: Shows up a bit of skin in Episode 28.
82	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: When he sees just how much his actions and how he'd further distanced Juri and Shiori, well meaning or not, have emotionally hurt Juri, even he is rattled, and he tells Juri he'll "make it right" somehow. He's said have died the next day, implying that he finally gave up his will to live and let his disease claim his life out of guilt.]]
83	* SoapOperaDisease: [[spoiler:He's suffering from a fatal disease the entire time, and ends up dying because of it, but said disease is never specified and Ruka appears to have no symptoms whatsoever while on-screen. Given that he's working with Akio and Touga, it's possible that he got the progression of his illness paused until he was finally ready to let go of his life.]]
84	* ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler:Knew that he'd die and had his days numbered, but he still used this to his advantage to force Juri out of her vicious cycle. Given how badly it hurt both Shiori ''and'' Juri, it might've gone further than could be excused, which is why he purposefully made Juri loathe him as much as possible and then allowed himself to finally die after his second duel with Utena]].
85	* WolfInSheepsClothing: He comes off as a decent guy when we first see him, but eventually he makes it clear that's ''not'' the case.

88	[[folder:Chigusa Sanjouin]]
89	!!Chigusa Sanjouin
90	!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MayaOkamoto
91	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Chigusa_5155.jpg]]
92	The antagonist of the "Someday My Revolution Will Come" Sega Saturn game. Chigusa is very masculine and hates the idea of girls being passive, as she prefers strong and powerful girls.
93	----
94	* ArcVillain: Of the video game, if you count it as an arc.
95	* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Unlike Mikage, whose status was ambiguous, Chigusa is explicitly stated to have died in the fire at the fencing hall 15 years ago.]]
96	* DarkActionGirl: An antagonistic female fencer who opposes Utena.
97	* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:The teacher you love chose your friend over you and then they decide they are going to have a Shotgun Wedding? Guess you should burn the fencing hall down with yourself inside it!]]
98	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Burned down a building with herself inside it.]]
99	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Gets her share of squealing from fangirls when she's in class, and Kozue is even seen dating her at one point.
100	%%* FemmeFatale
101	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Chigusa identifies with the Evil Queen from "Literature/SnowWhite". That symbolism appears several times, such as the calendar by her locker and the [[TemptingApple poisoned apple]] she leaves for the protagonist.
102	* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: If the protagonist asks her if she has a girlfriend at one point, Chigusa says that she only likes regular boys. Then she goes on a date with Kozue a few scenes later.
103	* HugeSchoolGirl: Based on her height next to Touga, Chigusa is at least 6'1".
104	* InformedAttribute: Chigusa is supposed to [[{{Bifauxnen}} look very masculine]], to the point where she feels the need to specify her gender when she introduces herself to the class, but it doesn't show at all in her character design.
105	* LadyOfWar: In contrast to her masculinity she's an elegant fencer.
106	%%* ManipulativeBitch
107	* NoGuyWantsAnAmazon: [[spoiler:The fencing team's sponsor, Masaomi, chose the girly Koto over the cold, powerful Chigusa. She never recovered from that rejection, and thus hates all girls who act passive and feminine - especially the player character, [[UnbalancedByRivalsKid who is Masaomi and Koto's daughter]].]]
108	* OneeSama: Plays herself up as this as she tries to entice your player character into her trap. The NonStandardGameOver if you lose all your nobility points shows the two of them wrapped in a nude embrace, a pose that would look completely appropriate for a standard {{yuri}} series.
109	%%* OurGhostsAreDifferent: In a way similar to [[spoiler:Mikage]].
110	* SpikesOfVillainy: On her duelling outfit and the pommel of her sword.

119	[[caption-width-right:316: From left to right: E-ko and F-ko.]]
120	A group of girls who only appear in silhouette and shadow, they enact plays OnceAnEpisode that serve as intentionally obtuse metaphors for whatever's going on in the plot at the time. [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane Vaguely implied to be aliens.]]
121	----
122	* AdaptationalBadass: In the movie there's a whole news studio full of them, and they're all [[MissionControl working towards helping Utena and Anthy escape Ohtori]].
123	* AdaptedOut: A-Ko and B-Ko get replaced by E-Ko and F-Ko for the movie, although C-Ko remains.
124	* BigGood: At the climax of the movie, as they support Utena and Anthy with escaping Ohtori. Might be this in general, since they seem to operate above even Akio.
125	* CanonImmigrant: C-Ko is the only one of the Shadow Girls to be transplanted into the movie, with A-Ko and B-Ko being replaced by E-Ko and F-Ko.
126	* CatchPhrase: "I wonder, I wonder, do you know what I wonder?" [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in that their school group is the "Kashira Playhouse", a pun on their catchphrase.
127	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Their leitmotif is even named "Aliens from the Planet [[CatchPhrase Kashira]]".
128	* CombatCommentator: In the movie, the Shadow Girls broadcast live footage of Anthy's car chase to the outside world, providing commentary on "who's in the lead", and actually being able to communicate to her through the car radio.
129	* DirectLineToTheAuthor: Ikuhara's WordOfGod [[TrollingCreator claims]] that he talks to these characters through radio waves "almost every day".
130	* EvenNerdsHaveStandards: They're not actually nerds, but A-Ko and B-Ko have the nerve to say that C-Ko is "a little strange" compared to them, and that she has no friends. In C-Ko's words, "You guys are ones to talk."
131	* ExtraExtraReadAllAboutIt: In the Black Rose arc: "Gogai! Gogai! Gogai!" aka "Newflash, newsflash! Newsflash!"
132	* TheFaceless: As they only appear as shadows. [[spoiler:When they finally appear in person, they're only shown from behind.]]
133	* FauxSymbolism: Invoked. Most of their plays are perfect allegories of the events of the episode. Then there are the plays that involve a monkey-catching robot and a wife who thinks you can eat tires for dinner.
134	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Either this or MeaningfulBackgroundEvent.
135	* GenkiGirl: What they're trying to say [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic is sometimes ambiguous]], but they're always very enthusiastic about it.
136	* GreekChorus: They comment on the duels and/or act out allegorical plays that reference events in the episode.
137	%%* TheHecateSisters
138	* HumanAliens: Assuming they really are aliens, this is very likely, [[spoiler:and eventually becomes confirmed when they appear physically.]] Averted with the girls in the movie, though, whose bodies actually end up looking like shadows.
139	* {{Leitmotif}}: "Aliens from the Planet [[CharacterCatchphrase Kashira]]" and some variations.
140	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: They certainly are more insightful and omnipresent than ordinary schoolgirls should be, even in Ohtori, appearing in the Chairman's residence, a radio quiz show and a hospital just as effortlessly as in the school grounds to put up their plays. The one time they appear in the flesh they seem to vanish to thin air after giving Utena a ticket to their play, and afterwards Wakaba notes that she didn't think that the school even has a drama club -- and sure enough, no-one shows up to watch the show, except Utena, Anthy and Akio.
141	* OnceAnEpisode: Their shows.
142	* PlanetOfHats: If WordOfGod, their UFO motif, and some of their songs' names on the soundtrack are anything to go by, the Shadow Girls come from a planet called Kashira. The movie supports this, somewhat, with the reveal of an entire news studio of shadow girls.
143	* PutOnABus: A-Ko and B-Ko "leave" Ohtori on a space ship at the end of the first season, and are replaced by C-Ko for the Black Rose arc. Then all three of the Shadow Plays Girls are together for the third and fourth season.
144	%%* SchoolNewspaperNewsHound
145	* SchoolPlay: They put on a shadow play [[spoiler:depicting a version of Dios/Akio and Anthy's fall]].
146	* ThemeNaming: Their names are all "[English letter]-ko", a generic feminine name suffix.

153	An odd little creature who's initially Anthy's OnlyFriend at the start of the story. He's a monkey, not a mouse.
154	----
155	* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: He wears a red necktie and an earring in one ear, but nothing else.
156	* AnimalsNotToScale: He's a monkey, but he's even smaller than the smallest species of monkeys. This has frequently led fans to mistake him as a mouse.
157	* BigOlEyebrows Chu-Chu has them, evidently for UglyCute charm. They are particularly pronounced in the anime.
158	%%* BlushSticker
159	* DemotedToExtra:
160	** In the movie, he only appears on the Nanami cow tape.
161	** In the movie-manga, Anthy doodles him on her sketchpad, and he also appears with her in the outside world.
162	* EmpathyPet: A very subtle example. Anthy's DissonantSerenity is usually an impenetrable mask, so it's easy to dismiss Chu-Chu's antics as being RuleOfFunny. [[RewatchBonus Once you understand Anthy's character a bit better]], most of said antics either directly serve her purposes, hint at her [[BeneathTheMask underlying emotional state]], or allow her a pretext for the rare displaying of real emotions.
163	* ExtremeOmnivore: He'll try to eat ''anything.''
164	* {{Familiar}}: He seems at first to be a cute pet for Anthy. [[FridgeBrilliance Scratch the surface a bit]], however, and this is much closer to the role he plays.
165	* GassHole: Starts showing digestive distress from his overeating as the show goes on. It gets so bad his BalloonBelly inflates, forcing Utena to hold onto his tail like a balloon.
166	* NonHumanSidekick: Chu-Chu helps Anthy accomplish her goals from time to time, and even backs up Utena a little bit. There are routes of the visual novel, mainly PlayedForLaughs, where Chu-Chu saves the day.
167	* PluckyComicRelief: One of the very, very few characters to never really graduate to having a serious role.
168	* PokemonSpeak: All he ever says is "chu."
169	%%* RidiculouslyCuteCritter
170	* ShooOutTheClowns: He is almost entirely absent in the final --and darkest-- arc of the anime.

178	----
179	* BackstabbingTheAlphaBitch: [[spoiler:After Nanami finds out she and Touga may not be blood siblings, Keiko and the others gladly turn on her and bemoan all the time they "wasted" kissing her ass. It doesn't last long however, as Nanami gives them an epic beatdown back into her servitude before her second duel.]]
180	* BitCharacter: They only exist to pine after Touga and kiss up to Nanami.
181	* {{Fair Weather Friend}}s: In Keiko's episode, Nanami has her banned from all clubs and associations after she sees her sharing an umbrella with Touga. When Keiko goes to Aiko and Yuuko for support, the two just blankly stare at her before they wonder aloud if they heard someone talking. By the end of the episode though, after Keiko makes up with Nanami they're all back together again as a posse.
182	* FalseFriend: They only hung around Nanami so they could lust after Touga without worrying about Nanami making them miserable, while framing it as UndyingLoyalty to Nanami in order to keep one another from pursuit of Touga.
183	* GirlPosse: Members of Nanami's three-girl clique, along with Keiko. They mostly just stand in the background and look haughty.
184	* TheNondescript: See ThoseTwoGuys below.
185	* ThemeNaming: With Keiko, their names are all ___ko. Bizarrely, this actually doubles as the same ThemeNaming as the Shadow Play Girls, as their names sound just like K-ko, I-ko and U-ko.
186	* TerribleTrio: Alongside Keiko the three of them are Nanami's devoted henchmen.
187	* ThoseTwoGuys: They're able to qualify as this given that Keiko is the only one given any substantial focus. Their last names are barely known by the fandom, and until Keiko's focus episode it was difficult to distinguish which was which.

194	----
195	* BitCharacter: She only appears for one episode, despite having purple hair.
196	%%* BrattyHalfPint: To Mitsuru.
197	* DistaffCounterpart: Her arguing with Mitsuru about Nanami's treatment seems very similar to how Utena would often talk to Anthy about the latter being the Rose Bride, although she at least tries to talk about what Mitsuru is doing.
198	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She can be rude, but she does care about Mitsuru.
199	* OlderAndWiser: Subverted. She's a year older than Mitsuru, so she thinks that makes her more experienced, but she does have a point that Mitsuru is going about this "Learning to be an adult" situation incorrectly by just watching movies of people kiss.
200	* OnlySaneMan: Alongside Tokiko Chida, Mari is by far one of the more rational characters in the show, and she's always trying to get Mitsuru to stop being Nanami's lackey.
201	* SatelliteCharacter: To Mitsuru, hence why she never appears again.
202	* {{Tsundere}}: To Mitsuru. After discussing with him about having the experience of an actual kiss, Mitsuru tries to do it with her. She slaps him because she's not exactly thrilled over A: the lack of subtlety, and B: that he's only trying to kiss her just for the sake of kissing. That being said, it's clear that they do like each other. Mitsuru just isn't fond of how snotty she's being, and Mari's not fond of him acting stupid. But the end of the Black Rose episode, they seem to be on better terms.
203	* UnknownRival: A subversion. While it seems she may have feelings for Mitsuru, she's not jealous of Nanami. She just hates the way Nanami uses him. When Nanami finally learns about Mari and sees her hanging around Mitsuru, ''she'' is the one who starts getting jealous. But they never actually interact face to face.

211	* {{Expy}}: The three of them are based off some guys Ikuhara knows in real life, and versions of them tend to appear in his other works.

213	%%* GreekChorus: In at least some sense.
