9
10	The last member of the Capulet family.
11	----
12	* AbdicateTheThrone: [[spoiler:In the last chapter of the manga adaptation, she explicitly tells Tybalt that she intends to hand leadership of Neo Verona to Romeo, as she intends to sacrifice herself to Escalus. While not directly mentioned, the same thing can be inferred in the anime.]]
13	* ActionGirl: Not afraid to fight back, seeing as she took on the identity of a vigilante.
14	* AdaptationalBadass: Her literary counterpart wasn't a fighter.
15	* AllLovingHeroine: [[spoiler: Despite Lord Montague's crimes, she's unable to truly hate him because she loves his son.]] Tellingly when they meet for the second time (in the same place he sentenced her to death) she decides to show mercy and spare him.
16	* BadassAdorable: One of the cutest [[LadyOfWar ladies of war]] ever.
17	* BadassCape: As the Red Whirlwind.
18	* BarrierMaiden: [[spoiler:Escalus, the tree which holds Neo Verona, is dying and as the daughter of the Capulet family, Juliet is the seed of the Tree and she must sacrifice herself and merge with the tree in order to save Neo Verona.]]
19	* BattleCouple: With Romeo.
20	* BettyAndVeronica: Veronica to Hermione's Betty.
21	* BreakTheCutie: This don't go well for her despite her falling love.
22	* ChildhoodFriends: With Cordelia.
23	* CompressedHair: Juliet's hair is waist-length, but she has no problems concealing it under the short-haired "Odin" wig. Justified, as it is rather easy concealing it. Just put it in a French twist, pin the wig in place, and everything's fine.
24	* CoolMask: As the Red Whirlwind.
25	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red hair and eyes.
26	* DangerousSixteenthBirthday: Didn't know who she really was until she turned 16.
27	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Oh, ''[[LesYay Amelia]]''.
28	** And also [[spoiler:Ophelia]].
29	* FallenPrincess: She unknowingly is the true Crown Princess, Heir and Ruler of Neo Verona, as the last of the of the Capulet's, who was sent away into hiding by Conrad after Lord Montague slaughtered the entirety of her family.
30	* FieryRedhead: Can be emotional and eager to fight someone if they've done wrong to her loved ones.
31	* GenderReveal: Pulls off looking like a boy well enough that this happens constantly--including to the guy who likes her (it's Romeo).
32	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:At the end of the series, after Romeo dies trying to save her, Juliet decides to follow her destiny and merges with Escalus, sacrificing herself to save everyone in Neo Verona.]]
33	* TheIngenue: She has a good and loving heart, but she ended falling for the enemy's son. It leads to trouble for both parties.
34	* LadyOfWar: Not afraid of combat.
35	* LargeHam: Mostly while she's in the guise of the Red Whirlwind [[spoiler: and later when she's leading a populist rebellion]]. She has a tendency to make big important speeches at the drop of a hat.
36	* LoveAtFirstSight: Towards Romeo
37	* NiceGirl: Sweet, loving and caring
38	* NobleFugitive: Thanks to Lord Montague wanting the last of the Capulets dead.

40	* Orphan’s Ordeal: Both of her parents were killed, when she was a child.
41	* OverlyLongName: Twelve syllables long.
42	* PluckyGirl: Can be very loving and determined to help her loved ones.
43	* RagsToRoyalty: Sleeping Beauty type.
44	* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender
45	* RecursiveCrossdressing: She was born a girl, then dressed up as a guy for years... and then got dolled up as a female for the party in which she met Romeo. "Odin" is called pretty when "crossdressing" as a girl.
46	* SayMyName: ROOOMEEEOOOOOOO!
47	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: The man she loves is nothing like his father.
48	* SkilledButNaive: Sure, Juliet's totally badass when it comes to swordfighting. She should have known, though, that falling in love with that noble boy whom she barely knew was a ''very'' bad idea.
49	* StarCrossedLovers: With Romeo.
50	* StevenUlyssesPerhero: "Fiamma" is an Italian word meaning "flame." The name "Fiammetta" means "little fiery one," which touches nicely on Juliet's personality and her role in the story.
51	* SweetPollyOliver: Lives dressed up as a boy for years, taking up the name "Odin" so no one would identify her as the last member of the Capulet family. Pretty much dropped later: once she finds out her real identity, [[GirlinessUpgrade she starts wearing dresses in private]], [[spoiler: and when everyone learns who she is, she doesn't bother majorly with dressing up as male again, although she still wears pants under her skirt.]]
52	* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:With Romeo.]]
53	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Hermione, Amelia and Cordelia's Girly Girl.
54	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She embraces getting to dress like a girl when she gets the chance.
55	* VigilanteMan: As Red Whirlwind, after [[spoiler: Curio lose an eye because of her, when she was a kid.]]

62	->Voiced by: Creator/TakahiroMizushima (JP), Chris Burnett (EN)
63
64	The heir to the Montague throne, Romeo is [[NiceGuy kind, sweet]], and ''nothing'' like his father Leontes. He and Juliet fall in love eventually.
65	----
66	* AbdicateTheThrone: [[spoiler:Given that he would take the throne of Neo Verona upon his father's death, he opts to cede it to Juliet instead.]]
67	* AllLovingHero: Unlike his father, he just wants peace.
68	* ArrangedMarriage: With Hermione.
69	* BattleCouple: With Juliet.
70	* BerserkButton: Say what you want about him or his father, but never speak ill of his mother.

75	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:In Juliet's.]]
76	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:He dies after being fatally stabbed by Ophelia.]]
77	* InnocentBlueEyes: In contrast to his father's icy stare.
78	* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: His father is a dictator who hated the Capulets, Romeo is a nice person in love with the last Capulet.
79	* LonelyRichKid: Romeo is hinted to be one, since Benvolio seems to be his only friend and all other nobles look at him with different degrees of contempt.
80	* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:It is revealed that his father was the son of a prostitute and a noble of House Capulet, meaning that Romeo and Juliet are actually related to each other, although how closely is ambiguous.]]
81	* LoveAtFirstSight: Towards Juliet.
82	* MadDictatorsHandsomeSon: His father's not exactly soap opera handsome.
83	* MeaningfulName: "Candore" is an English name meaning "One who is like god," referring to his good-hearted personality.

85	* NiceGuy: Romeo is really nice. Like, really really ''really'' nice.
86	* OfficialCouple: With Juliet.
87	* OverlyLongName: Eleven syllables long.
88	* PrincelyYoungMan: Despite being the son of a dictator, Romeo is a genuinely nice person.
89	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething
90	* RunawayFiance: He's arranged to marry Hermione, he falls for Juliet and they run away together. Unfortunately for them, they get caught.
91	* SayMyName: JULIEEEET!
92	* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:He dies trying to stop Juliet from merging with Escalus, or at the very least asks to be allowed to die with her. She mourns his death, but sacrifices herself anyway in order to save everyone in Neo Verona.]]

101
102	[[folder:Lord Leontes Montague]]
103	!!Lord Leontes Montague
104	[[quoteright:126:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/318942_3494.jpg]]
105	->Voiced by: Creator/KoujiIshii (JP), Sean Hennigan (EN)
106
107	Romeo's father, and the man who rules Neo Verona with an iron fist. He was the one who murdered Juliet's parents fourteen years ago, starting off the story.
108	----
109	* AbusiveParents: Verbally abuses Romeo and at one point slaps him across the face.
110	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the story of ''Romeo and Juliet'', Lord Montague deeply cared for his family and lost interest in the feud with the Capulets when it cost him his wife and son. In this series, Lord Montague is a cruel man who obsesses over vengeance and power.
111	* ArchnemesisDad: To Romeo, [[spoiler:[[HeroicBastard Tybalt]], and eventually, soon after he adopts him, Mercutio]].
112	* AxCrazy: Even at the best of times, he can barely hide the fact that he's rather psychopathic, stripping Benvolio's father of all of his titles because he dissented against him. After [[spoiler: the Capulet rebellion]], he goes off the deep end completely, [[spoiler: killing two of the members of the council because the rest wouldn't support his proposal to BURN DOWN THE COMMON PEOPLE'S QUARTERS]]
113	* BastardBastard: [[spoiler:He's an illegitimate child of a Capulet man and a prostitute, and swore revenge against his father's family after his mother died.]]
114	* BeardOfEvil: As shown in his picture.
115	* BigBad: Him taking the Capulet's throne is the cause of everything bad that happens in the story, from the massacre of the Capulet family to [[spoiler:the decaying state of Escalus]].
116	* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:He dies in Romeo's and Juliet's arms.]]
117	* DiscOneFinalBoss: Serves as the BigBad for most of the series, but [[spoiler:Ophelia becomes the [[FinalBoss final enemy]] as she wants to sacrifice Juliet to Escalus, since the Montague family taking the throne is causing it to die]].
118	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: His mother may have been one of the only people he ever truly cared for.
119	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all his flaws, he does love Romeo (exiling him rather than executing him for helping Romeo escape, reacting badly when Mercutio badmouths Romeo, and even when Romeo calls him out on his flaws not only refusing to kill him but stating point blank he considers Romeo his only real son.) He also decides not to arrest Portia despite clearly realizing that she's been sheltering Juliet.
120	* FreudianExcuse: His hatred against the Capulets was because [[spoiler:his father was one and abandoned him and his prostitute mother to a poor life. After his mother died from sickness, Leontes swore revenge against his father and his family for not taking care of them by killing all of them. Yikes!]] There are also subtle hints that he endured sexual abuse from his adopted father in order to carry out his plan.
121	* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:From the son of a poor prostitute woman to the one who would kill the Capulet family and take the throne from them.]]
122	* {{Hypocrite}}: He resents his father abandoning him and his mother, yet is outright abusive and unloving to his own son, or the fact that [[spoiler:he did the same deed as his father to a Capulet woman and their illegitimate son]].
123	* InTheBlood: [[spoiler: His entire motivation was a Capulet man using his mother and tossing her aside, condemning him and her to a life of poverty. Yet this was exactly what he did to his original lover and his illegitimate son, Tybalt.]]
124	* KillItWithFire: his proposed solution to the [[spoiler: Capulet rebellion]]. Notably, only Mercutio actually supports him in this [[spoiler: until he pulls out his sword and kills two members of the council right in the middle of the chamber]]
125	* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Upon stealing the throne, he takes advantage of wealth.
126	* PerpetualFrowner: Very few things make him smile, when he does it means something is going his way... and that's never a good thing for anyone else.
127	* RapeAsBackstory: It's not outright stated but we see a flashback of a well dressed man (presumably his adopted father) squeezing his shoulders and stroking his face with a lecherous grin while Montague stares forwards with cold vacant eyes, implying that his adopted father may have been raped him.
128	* RagsToRoyalty: [[spoiler:From the poor son of a prostitute to the ruler of Neo Verona.]]
129	* RoyalBastard: [[spoiler:He's the illegitimate child of a Capulet nobleman and a prostitute.]]
130	* SelfMadeMan: [[spoiler:Originally, he was the son of a poor prostitute woman. After his mother died, he made his way on his own to become the head of the Montague family and the king of Neo Verona.]]
131	* Self Made Orphan: It’s heavily implied he killed both his biological father (during the massacre of the Capulet family) and his adopted father (the original Lord Montague).
132	* SocialClimber: [[spoiler:After his mother died, he decided to become a noble. To achieve this, he had Montague family adopt him, poisoned his benefactor's food and became head of the family. He then killed the Capulets to become duke/prince.]]
133	* SonOfAWhore: [[spoiler:His mother was a prostitute.]]
134	* StupidEvil: Technically, he'd get everything he ever wanted just by allowing the marriage between Romeo and Juliet; Neo Verona is implied to be a patriarchal society, and Juliet only has her family titles because her brothers are dead. Letting the marriage happen would mean that either Romeo or any child the two have would inherit Juliet's titles, thus making his coup completely legal while also neutering any rebellion (since Juliet or any children she has could be hostages). However, his hatred of the Capulet causes him to instead try to execute her, which only makes people hate him even more. Tellingly, when the Capulets make a propaganda play they don't even need to change the details; just presenting the whole story of Romeo and Juliet is enough to turn people against him.
135	* The Un-Reveal: It’s never revealed who his father was. The only clue, we had was that he was a nobleman and from the Capulet family.
136	* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Took over Neo Verona and became a cruel dictator.
137	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:By killing the Capulet family, he's deprived the tree of Escalus of its sacrifices needed to keep Neo Verona from falling. Nothing he's done then can fix it.]]
138	* VillainousBreakdown: Clearly starts to lose his mind as things start going out of his control.
139	* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: To Romeo, [[spoiler: to the point that he exiles him to the mines and tries to make Mercutio his heir. [[KarmicDeath It backfires]].]]
140	* WickedCultured

146
147	Romeo's mother, who left Leontes out of disgust and now lives in a convent. She still loves her son, however, and Romeo visits her regularly.
148	----
149	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue eyes and blue hair.
150	* ParentalFavoritism: Sorta, Leontes keeps thinking Romeo is a failure but Portia openly favors him.
151	* ProperLady: The perfect one, except for one detail: she chose to live in a convent rather than continuing as the puppet wife of Leontes, after he massacres the Capulets.

158	->Voiced by: Creator/ShinnosukeTachibana (JP), Sean Michael Teague (EN)
159
160	One of Romeo's close friends. He is the son of the mayor of Neo Verona and one of the few people concerned with Romeo's well-being. He often acts as Romeo's voice of reason and moderation.
161	----
162	* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:With Cordelia.]]
163	* BetaCouple: With Cordelia.
164	* FallenPrincess: A male example. [[spoiler:Though after he and his clan are stripped of their royalties, he adapts to peasant life very quickly and happily.]]
165	* NiceGuy: A contrast to all of the other young nobles who aren't Romeo, which may be why they're friends.

172	Benvolio's father, leader of the House of Frescobaldi, the mayor of Neo Verona, and an old friend of Conrad's, who held reservations concerning Montague's rule.
173	----
174	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As the mayor of Neo Verona, he questioned Leontes's measures more than once. [[spoiler: That almost gets him and his family murdered by Leontes's hitmen]].

177	[[folder:Mercutio]]
178	!!Mercutio
179	->Voiced by: Creator/TetsuyaKakihara (JP), Creator/ChristopherBevins (EN)
180
181	An ambitious and sly noble who wishes to become Montague's heir due to his apparent resentment of his father. He is contemptuous of the common people and is charged by Montague to spy on Romeo.
182	----
183	* AdaptationalVillainy: The literary version was a genuine friend to Romeo.
184	* AllForNothing: Leontes tells Romeo point blank that he's his "true son", meaning that Mercutio never really had a chance of winning Leontes' approval.
185	* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:At least towards the end.]]
186	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Offers his counsel and friendship to Romeo, but is really acting as a mole for his father.
187	* DeadpanSnarker: Something he retained from his literary counterpart.
188	* DemotedToExtra: Compared to the rest of the characters that are adapted straight from ''Romeo and Juliet'' itself, Mercutio's role in the series can come off as this. A much straighter example would be his appearance in the manga, wherein he has no plot relevance whatsoever due to the changes made to compress the story.
189	* DrivenToMadness: [[spoiler:The death of his father and fear of Lord Montague makes him less sane.]]
190	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: [[spoiler:Seeing his dad murdered for no real reason drives him insane.]]
191	* HeroicBSOD [[spoiler:Seeing his father killed in front of him by Montague.]]
192	* {{Jerkass}}: The nicest thing you can say is that he's not Lord Montague.
193	* ManipulativeBastard: Takes advantage of Romeo's trust.
194	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: His alerting Romeo about Juliet's attempted escape (for his own selfish ends) is what ultimately allows him to get there in time to save her.
195	* ProfessionalButtKisser: To Lord Montague after [[spoiler: his father is killed. Poor fellow's probably too afraid to act any other way, though.]]
196	* RoyalBrat: Looks down on others due to his status and envies Romeo's status.
197	* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:By virtue of his father's death]].
198	* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Not shy about telling Romeo that his idealism and kindness is horribly out of place in a CrapsaccharineWorld world like theirs. [[spoiler:And considering what happened to Romeo in the end, [[JerkassHasAPoint he was at least partially right]].]]
199	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The manga, only spanning two volumes, actually cuts out and rearranges (with very little effect) whatever plot relevance he had left. He's basically there to seethe about Romeo, and unlike many of the other surviving characters, it's never revealed what happened to him afterwards.

202	[[folder:Titus]]
203	!!Titus
204	->Voiced by: Jin Urayama (JP), Creator/SonnyStrait (EN)

206	Mercutio's father who is an alcoholic degenerate of the court.
207	----
208	* AlcoholicParent: He's an alcoholic good-for-nothing, to his son's shame.
209	* CollateralAngst: [[spoiler:His murder at Leontes's hands completely ''shatters'' Mercutio's mental stability.]]
210	* JadedWashout: He was [[TheDragon Leontes's top hitman]] when he was young; now he's gotten fat, greedy and lazy, much to his son Mercutio's frustration.
211	* ManOfWealthAndTaste
212	* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:He blackmails Leontes to make Mercutio his new heir or he'll spill the beans about his past. Leontes agrees.... and later kills Titus for blackmailing him!]]
213	** To makes things worse for himself, he does this ''immediately after'' making fun of Leontes by mentioning the fact that William's mother is rumored to be a Capulet sympathizer (which, in fact, she is), but that she is too powerful for Leontes to be able to do anything about it. [[SarcasmMode That's a ''fantastic'' way of getting Leontes to do what you want him to do!]]

224	* BreakTheCutie: Realizing Romeo doesn't love her drives her full of rage. She also goes through a fair amount of shit when she leaves the city.

She tries to see him, only to get robbed and left by the road, and has to give up a valuable ring just to afford travel fare. THEN she finally encounters Juliet again and has an emotional breakdown before finally learning that yes Juliet really does love Romeo and care for his well being.
226	* DefeatMeansFriendship : Downplayed in episode 16, but still there she stopes hating Juliet after discovering she truly loves Romeo and starts accepting her though covering up her feelings by acting like a snob; it shows she's gotten to like her.
227	* DefeatMeansRespect: She stops hating Juliet upon learning she truly loves Romeo and is not wiling to oust her

241	%%* RomanticRunnerUp: Eventually accepts this.
242	* ShelteredAristocrat: She's not outright cruel but she is deeply naive (in the English Dub she calls a merchant "good rustic") and clearly has no clue how to survive in the outside world
243	%%* StoodUp: By Romeo, at the Rose Festival.
244	%%* WorthyOpponent : It is hinted in the end episode 16 on how she views Juliet.
245	* {{Yandere}}: Briefly, but she gets better. [[spoiler:More as a consequence of a brief BreakTheCutie than real insanity: [[StepfordSmiler she kept it all bottled up]], [[BewareTheNiceOnes then exploded when she couldn't handle it anymore]], and got better once it was cleared up.]]
