12!!Guardians
13[[folder:General Tropes]]
14The Guardians are the student council of Seiyo Elementary School, whose task, aside from protecting and representing the general student population, is to preserve the Heart's Eggs of said children, and personages within general. They are also tasked with hunting for the Embryo (Due to Tadase's ideas towards [[TakeOverTheWorld creating himself as the world's king.]]), the legendary wish-granting Egg, which of course pits them against the Easter Company. It is primarily composed of four positions: the King's Chair, the Queen's Chair, the Jack's Chair, the Ace's Chair, and the occasional Joker's Chair, only taken via one with three Chara. Each of the members has a Guardian Character that represents an aspect of the person they want to be, which grants them special powers when they need it.
15
16The Guardians were founded by Tsukasa, making the current ones the second generation of Guardians.
17----
18* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: Not only are they leaders of the student body, they're also magical Guardians whose responsibility is protecting/purifying the Heart's Eggs of the students they watch over. It's especially notable considering they're the student council of an ''elementary'' school.
19* InstantFanClub: There are actually several of these, with overlapping memberships; they're formed prior to the start of the series. The Guardians as a whole (the boys individually, and even Amu and Rima before they join) each have fanclubs. Each fanclub is based on the target's outward character, not the inner one.
20* IconicItem: All the Guardians suddenly manifest an accessory related to their Chara when doing a [[BeneathTheMask Character Change]], voluntarily or not, which serves as a visual indicator that [[HilarityEnsues hilarity is imminent]].
21* MagicalGirl: Amu and the female members; the male ones are magical ''boys''.
22* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Well, "Red Girl, Blue Boy". The boys were blue outfits, while the girls, including Amu, wear red.
23* PlayingCardMotifs: The positions are titled "King" (occupied by Tadase), "Queen" (occupied by Nadeshiko[[spoiler:/Nagihiko]], and later Rima and Rikka), "Jack" (occupied by Kukai and later Kairi and [[spoiler:Nagihiko]]), and "Ace" (occupied by Yaya). There is an occasional "Joker" position, which is currently occupied by Amu.
24* SchoolIdol: All of them are very popular with the other students and have their own dedicated sets of fans, but Tadase is especially popular.

27[[folder:Amu Hinamori]]
28--> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaeIto (anime), [[Music/HelloProject Yuuka Maeda]] (musical)
29[[quoteright:136:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hinamori_amu.png]]
30
31-->''"We are all the main characters of our own stories!"''
32
33The main protagonist. Everybody sees Amu Hinamori as a "Cool and Spicy" girl. In reality, however, she's really just a clumsy girl who really has no clue, like the majority of the student population. This changes, however, when she wakes up to find three eggs, each containing a different Character Change, aka an aspect of the personality she wants to be: Ran (Amulet Heart) makes her outgoing and athletic, Miki (Amulet Spade) makes her cool and artistic, and Suu (Amulet Clover) makes her sweet and domestic. When the Guardians, the school's student council, finds out about this, they invite her into their circle — because she, with three Guardian Characters, has the perfect qualifications for the Joker's Chair.
34----
35* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: There's a reason why she couldn't stop thinking of the mischievous, catlike Ikuto. If that wasn't enough, one of her Guardian Charas, Miki, fangirls over both Yoru and Kiseki (the latter mainly because he has [[TakeOverTheWorld the same goal as many villains out there]]).
36* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Amulet Fortune appears to be this for Amu's four Charas.]]
37* BelligerentSexualTension: With Ikuto.
38%%* BeneathTheMask
39%%* CoolBigSis: Ami certainly thinks so.
40* {{Doting Parent}}s: Her parents crank this up... concerning Ami, of course.
41* DudeMagnet: Many guys like her, and she even has an UnwantedHarem.
42* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Several of the female characters squeal over Amu, noting that she's "cool and spicy".
43* HarmlessElectrocution: She gets electrocuted on an electric line.
44* ExposedToTheElements: Amulet Heart's costume is a skimpy cheerleader's outfit... definitely '''not''' suited for cold climates, as she found out when she used her Character Transformation on a ski slope.
45* FreakyFashionMildMind: Amu tends to dress in a punk-inspired fashion since her mother chooses her clothes for her, and this leads to her having a reputation as a "cool and spicy" girl at school. However, she's really more of an insecure NiceGirl underneath.
46* FrillyUpgrade: [[spoiler:Amulet Diamond and Amulet Fortune, Amu's later forms, have a lot of frills.]]
47* FullNameBasis: Most every villain, as well as minor character Misaki, refers to her by her full name.
48%%* GenkiGirl: As Amulet Heart.
49* GirlishPigtails: She wears her hair in pigtails as Amulet Clover and [[spoiler:Amulet Diamond]].
50* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: While she's pretty girly for the most part, she also wants to be more confident and athletic, which is represented by her girly-but-sporty Guardian Character Ran.
51* HowDoIShotWeb: Whenever she Character Transforms with El, she'd use powers, that she herself had no idea how they worked.
52* IJustWantToBeNormal: Amu's hesitations about her duties as the Joker contribute to the whole mess in the Dia arc.
53%% * IdolSinger: [[spoiler: As Amulet Diamond.]]
54* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P19rAogwpFU&feature=related Hanbun Ko No Heart]]. Since she is the main character, she gets a lot of them, but this is one of her few solo songs.
55* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Amu's customized school 'look' and daily gear usually follow a cute punk chick aesthetic, which is unusual for a prepubescent MagicalGirl. It does rightly earn her the nickname of "Cool and Spicy".
56* InstantFanClub: She had one prior to her joining the Guardians.
57* InvoluntaryDance: Ran did this to her via telekinesis in one scene in episode 6. She was not amused.
58* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She starts the series as one, with her inner self being very sweet and well-meaning but her outer self being very cold and stand-offish and doing things like calling Tadase a "shrimp."
59* MagicSkirt: Season 1 gave her a perfect example - covering even though it appears to be at ''right angles'' to her body. Then season 2 goes the opposite direction and chucks a PantyShot into the opening theme. Then again this may be the animators trying to point out that Amu is wearing some kind of cheerleader shorts under there.
60* MeaningfulName:
61** Her name is derived from the English phrase "I ''am''..." and the various phrases that can follow it.
62** Also as a shortening of "''amu''let", since the names of all of her Character Changes begin with "Amulet".
63* MercurysWings: Wings appear next to Amu's feet during character changes with Ran.
64* ModestyShorts: Wears a pair as Amulet Heart, but given how short they are, it's easy to mistake them for her underwear.
65* MsFixit: She has this as a superpower. As Amulet Clover, she can use [[CallingYourAttacks "Remake Honey"]], which creates a splash of golden honey that returns broken or worn-out objects to their original states, including (but not limited to) people's Heart's Eggs. Thanks to this, Amulet Clover doesn't need to use [[CareBearStare Open Heart]] to purify [[MonsterOfTheWeek X Eggs]], and can handle multiple X Eggs at once.
66%%* NaiveEverygirl: Not usually an anime trope, but it fits here.
67* NoSocialSkills: She's initially poor at socializing, and assumes a blunt and impolite exterior when faced with a scenario she doesn't know how to deal with. Once she befriends the Guardians, she has an easier time communicating with people that she is more comfortable with.
68* NiceGirl: Is this through and through, despite her occasional {{Tsundere}} tendencies and her difficulties with socializing with others at first.
69* PlayingCardMotifs: Occupies the occasional Joker's Chair, where the requirements are three Guardian Chara [[spoiler:or more]]. Her three main Chara are also named after suits of cards: Spade, Clover, and Heart [[spoiler:and later on, Diamond]].
70* PrecociousCrush: Given their age difference, her feelings for Ikuto can be interpreted as this.
71* PowerGivesYouWings: Subverted with Amulet Angel, Amu's transformation with El. She does have wings, but isn't all that powerful. [[spoiler:Played straight Amulet Diamond, with her wing-like extensions ]]
72* RedArmbandOfLeadership: Amu has one of these (unlabeled), symbolic of her outward character's fame rather than any position. Perhaps this serves more of a purpose when she's recruited as the Guardians' Joker.
73* RockMeAsmodeus: [[spoiler:As Amulet Devil, she uses an electric guitar to release powerful soundwaves that represses weaker abilities.]]
74* RookieRedRanger: She's the most recent addition to the Guardians, but she has the most eggs and is the first to achieve a Character Transformation.
75* RoseHairedSweetie: Perhaps moreso as Amulet Clover, but she's still a nice if easily flustered girl.
76* ShipTease: Has this often with Tadase and Ikuto. Ikuto moreso.
77* StockingFiller: As Amulet Spade.
78* StockShoujoHeroine: Unlike most examples, she's actually quite popular for her "cool and spicy" public persona, but she otherwise fits many of the trope's requirements as she's much more of an ordinary girl than how most of the student body sees her. Under her public image, she's really a [[NiceGirl nice]] GenkiGirl with [[RoseHairedSweetie pink hair]] who [[IJustWantToBeNormal wants to be normal]], but soon proves to have a lot of willpower. She also has two love interests, one of whom is older and [[OneHeadTaller taller]] than her.
79* {{Stripperific}}: As Amulet Devil, she wears a short skirt and a devil wing-shaped tube top that just barely covers her chest.
80* SugarAndIcePersonality: Her public persona (and ImpossiblyCoolClothes) gives her the "cool and spicy" title, but she just wants to be like any other girl and is actually somewhat shy. She opens up more as the series goes on, and the public reaction to this kicks off a story arc.
81* SupernaturalGoldEyes: A yellow-eyed MagicalGirl.
82* TransformationTrinket: The Humpty Lock.
83* {{Tsundere}}: Funnily enough, Amu is this way towards Tadase, often acting coldly towards him while inwardly squeeing over how cute he is. For example, when she sees him wearing a dashing white uniform:
84-->'''Tadase''': This outfit is a bit big for me though. Does it look funny?\
85'''Amu''': *blush* Not really! And [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial it's not like I think it's cuter because it's a bit big]]!!
86** She tends to get like this around Ikuto at times too...but, Ikuto's...[[TheTease well]]...understandable.
87* UnlimitedWardrobe: Not only does she have the most transformation costumes, Amu also has a big supply of fashionable outfits for her casual wear.
88* UnwantedHarem: She even lampshades it at one point while contemplating her various crushes: "How many guys do I like?! Sheesh!"
89* WiseBeyondTheirYears: She seems to have a knack for philosophical speeches despite only being in elementary school

92[[folder:Tadase Hotori]]
93!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ReikoTakagi (anime), Hidemi Hikita (musical)

96-->''"I'm sorry, but there's already someone I like."''
97--> ''[[TakeOverTheWorld "YOU DARE CALL ME A PRINCE!?"]]''
98
99The current King of the Guardians; polite, smiling Tadase couldn't be any more popular with the ladies (although he couldn’t care less). By the first day of school, even '''Amu''' has a crush on him, leading her to confess (however she was turned down, as he already liked someone - ...his dog.) His Guardian character, Kiseki, was born from his desire to grow stronger - but of course, in true Manga/ShugoChara fashion, this translates to having Kiseki's dream being to TakeOverTheWorld.
100----
101* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Despite still being in grade school, Tadase takes his job as King very seriously.
102* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: His crush on Amulet Heart.
103* BarrierWarrior: His special moves, like Holy Crown, are mostly defense-based.
104* BerserkButton: Never, EVER, call him a prince. Or anything that sounds like it.
105** He goes into HairTriggerTemper territory whenever Ikuto is involved.
106* BishieSparkle: And [[LampshadeHanging he knows]] [[GenreSavvy it]]: He deploys it, along with being Bishie already, four times over the course of the series as a convincing device: Once to Saeki Nobuko within order to make her drive the four pre - series Guardians (And, later, Amu and Utau) towards easter headquaters, once to halt Ami from pestering Amu to allow her to see Utau [[WrongGenreSavvy (Which backfires as soon as Ami]] [[BerserkButton addresses him as "prince".)]] once towards [[spoiler: Nagihiko, to convince him to rejoin the Guardians (Which almost succeeds, but is eventually dismissed... Then Amu comes by and does one of her own accidentally, which seals the deal.)]], and once to [[spoiler: sell tickets for Utau's comeback show (Which is entirely successfull.)]]
107* ChickMagnet: The most popular boy in school.
108* ChildhoodFriends: [[spoiler: With Ikuto and Utau.]]
109* DraggedIntoDrag: Alongside Kukai [[spoiler:by Nagihiko]].
110* DudeLooksLikeALady: Lampshaded gloriously by Kukai's brothers at one point:
111--> "Aw, you should have brought home a girl!"
112--> "Oh, but he does [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments look like a girl,]] doesn't he?"
113* EvilLaugh: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrhatH85Bt8 Probably one of the best within all of anime.]]
114* FirstNameBasis: [[Other than his ChildhoodFriends Ikuto and Utau,]] Amu is the only character that he's on a mutual first name basis with.
115* FullNameBasis: Always calls Ikuto by his full name, although, unlike most occurrences of this, it is most definitely NOT due to camaraderie.
116* GenerationXerox: His uncle Tsukasa looks exactly like an older version of him. [[spoiler: Emphasized in the last chapters of the manga where a future version of him appeared, leading to FanDumb believing that future!Tadase was Tsukasa since the first day.]]
117* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A blonde magical Guardian.
118* IdiotHair: Although he is most definitely not an idiot.
119* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEu2GQKHXcw&feature=related Chiisana Hoshi ~The Little Prince~]]
120* LovesMyAlterEgo: Tadase only likes (or admits to liking) Amulet Heart. Amu is [[JustFriends just a friend...]] [[spoiler:at first.]]
121** [[spoiler:Subverted when he realizes his mistake and finally confesses his feelings to Amu, liking her and not her Alter Ego because he realizes that they're the same person.]]
122* NoblewomansLaugh: When in Character Change mode.
123* RealMenWearPink: [[spoiler: As Platinum Royale Tadase wears a ''very'' frilly cream-colored costume from head to toe.]]
124* RedEyesTakeWarning: Averted normally, but played straight whenever he's in Character Change mode.
125* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Other than Tsukasa, he was the only person aware of Nagihiko's true gender from the start.]]
126* TakeOverTheWorld: Again, in Character Change mode. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrhatH85Bt8 Fear King Tadase's]] [[EvilLaugh diabolical laughter]]!
127** It IS still there within his non Character - Changed form, and is in fact his most powerful of Dreams. However, he just keeps undercover when Kiseki isn't there to [[LargeHam offer a large amount of ham.]]
128* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: With Ikuto. Thankfully, it gets better.]]
129* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Amu in the anime, since it ends without animating the final chapters. Additionally, the anime's filler episodes had a tendency to add more ShipTease between him and Amu.

133!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SaekoChiba (anime), [[Music/HelloProject Kanon Fukuda]] (musical)

137-->''"Could you please keep this secret from the others a while longer?"''
138
139Nadeshiko is introduced as the beautiful, charismatic Queen's Chair of the Guardians, who openly befriends Amu and was the one who constantly attempted to get her to join. Nadeshiko succeeded, of course, and soon became one of Amu's best friends and one of the few people she'd confide in. A bit later on, though, Nadeshiko abruptly leaves to study dancing in Europe: much to Amu's sadness and disappointment when she left without saying goodbye. Her place as the Queen's Chair was filled by Rima. Nadeshiko comes back later on, though, although with some curious reveals that ''he'' isn't quite the what "she" seemed at first.
140----
141* TheAce: After the emergence of his male Chara, Rhythm, he began excelling in all types of sports that all of the sports teams wanted him.
142* AttractiveBentGender: Nagihiko and Nadeshiko are both very attractive.
143* BelligerentSexualTension: With Rima.
144* BerserkButton: Don't belittle the Fujisakis' strange family upbringing.
145* BestFriend: Amu considers Nadeshiko to be her best friend.
146* BishieSparkle: As Nagihiko, who is quite attractive.
147* TheBusCameBack: Returns to Japan after doubts about his ability to dance causes Temari to return back to her egg and a new Guardian Character to be born, forgoing his Nadeshiko persona in favor of simply being a normal boy in the hopes of determining his true self.
148* CuteAndPsycho: Character Change with Temari. No one's entirely sure why you would ''want'' to be one of these, but you have to admit that it's better to be a psycho than to be a boy who's trapped in women's clothes because of some stupid traditions and has to keep up a "Yamato Nadeshiko" image EVERY DAY.
149* FakeTwinGambit: Nadeshiko and her "twin brother" Nagihiko are one and the same.
150* GenderBenderFriendship: Nagihiko became good friends with Amu as "Nadeshiko". He has a tough time deciding if and when to tell Amu that he's her girl friend. He finally tells her in the final chapter of ''Encore!''.
151* GratuitousEnglish: When Character Changing with Rhythm. "HEI, GAIZ!"
152* HeCleansUpNicely: In episode 85 of the anime, when going to a fashion event with the other Guardians, he ends up getting late, and when he does show up, his [[http://images4.fanpop.com/image/forum/72000/72015_1283260323979_full.jpg highly detailed outfit]], which manages to be ''even more stylish than the girls' outfits'', leaves everyone else in shock.
153-->'''Amu:''' It looks like we have a winner...
154* HiddenDepths: His real name is "Nagihiko". He used to love playing basketball when he was younger and was quite good at it, but his family made him take up the male tradition of crossdressing so he can study dancing. This forced him to keep his true, sports-loving self a secret, and secretly made him feel depressed and miserable.
155* HimeCut: Fitting for someone raised in a very traditional family. He's also a rare male example.
156* HouseHusband: Even though he's not in a relationship, he has the qualities of one, such as cooking.
157* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv1xNaVDnio&feature=related Hana Tegami]]
158* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has long hair that makes him look even more girly.
159* MeaningfulName: Nadeshiko's name may be related to YamatoNadeshiko.
160* MrFanservice: As Nagihiko.
161* NaginatasAreFeminine: To the extent that a Guardian born from a desire to be feminine and graceful wields one.
162* ParentsForADay: With Rima when babysitting Yaya's younger brother at the second chapter of ''Encore!''.
163* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Temari is very pink, Rhythm is very blue.
164* PowerGivesYouWings: The bow in Yamato Maihime's back looks like a pair of butterfly wings.
165* PrincelyYoungMan: As Nagihiko.
166* PutOnABus: Heads off to Europe just prior to the end of the first year to better explore the world of dancing, leaving the Queen spot vacant for Rima to step in.
167* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: The Fujisakis have a tradition of raising their sons as females so that they can easily become graceful while dancing.
168* SobriquetSexSwitch: He goes by Nadeshiko when he crossdresses; his real name is Nagihiko.
169* WalkingSpoiler: It's difficult to mention anything about Nadeshiko poat-return without giving away the reveal that "she" is a boy named Nagihiko.
170* WholesomeCrossdresser: Leaving aside the crossdressing thing, Nagihiko is a really nice boy.
171* YamatoNadeshiko: A very rare male, crossdressing example. His female persona is named Nadeshiko and performs the female roles in the family's Japanese dance. Eventually, Nagihiko ends up getting Temari, his female Chara back, maintaining small bits of "her" Yamato Nadeshiko-ness. Coincidentally, his Character Tranformation with Temari is called "Yamato Maihime".

179
180One year senior to Amu, upbeat, energetic Kukai was the Jack's Chair during Amu's first year as a Guardian. He adores sports, as seen by his Guardian Character Daichi. He graduates by the end of the year, moving up to middle school, telling the Guardians that he's just at the other end of the school. He occasionally drops by to check in on them and to see how things are going. During her beginning years as a Guardian, Amu viewed Kukai as almost like an older brother.
181----
182* AdaptationDyeJob: He has red hair in manga illustrations, but it adapted to brown in the anime.
183* BelligerentSexualTension: With [[spoiler:Utau]].
184* BigBrotherMentor: As the oldest of the Guardians, the others often turn to him for advice.
185* CoolBoard: His character transformation, Sky Jack, has one.
186* DraggedIntoDrag: Alongside Tadase [[spoiler:by Nagihiko]].
187%%* FieryRedhead
188* JustAKid: Utau tends to call him a child even though they are only three years apart.
189* LastNameBasis: Addresses everyone but Utau and Tadase by their last name.
190* MrFanservice: Upbeat and likable, not to mention cute and athletic.
191* PairTheSpares: With [[spoiler:Utau]].

202-->''"Hey, why is everyone so sad? I'm the baby here and the only one allowed to cry!"''
203
204The current Ace's Chair, Yaya is one year Amu's junior. She is also a good, albeit rather clumsy, ballerina.
205
206* AlliterativeName: '''Y'''aya '''Y'''uiki.
207%%* CheerfulChild
208* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Compared to the other Guardians (most of whom are unusually mature for elementary school kids), Yaya is the one who more or less acts like a coddled 9 to 10-year-old.
209%%* GenkiGirl
210* GenreSavvy: She reads a lot of MagicalGirl manga and just happens to be a character in a magical girl series.
211* GirlishPigtails: She ties her hair into pigtails to emphasize her childishness.
212* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1ewjPYauEE&feature=related Ookiku Naare!]]
213* ImprobableWeaponUser: One of her attacks is firing rubber ducks at her opponents.
214* InfantSiblingJealousy: She acts overly childish (and has a baby-themed Guardian Character and Character Change form) due to her jealousy of her baby brother.
215* JokeCharacter: Most times when she tries to fight, all she does is get herself hurt in a comical way or she ends up hysterically running away from the weakest enemy on the battlefield. The creation of her Character Transformation only slightly improves it. [[spoiler: Completely subverted within the fifth-towards-last episode. See the entry above for greater specifications.]]
216* KiddieKid: She's seen as hyperactive, childish and immature even for a ten-year-old. This is because of her desire to remain a baby forever because she felt that her parents were ignoring her in favor of her baby brother (as seen by her Guardian Character, Pepe).
217* ShipTease: [[spoiler: In the third chapter on ''Encore!'', with Kairi.]]
218* SummonMagic: Her powers as Dear Baby are summoning rubber ducks (who are apparently sentient) to attack/distract/run away from the enemy.
219* SweetTooth: Apropos for her childish nature; in the second op she stuffs an entire slice of cake whole into her mouth.
220* TokenMiniMoe: She's the most childlike of the Guardians (at least before Rima joins) even when the others are, at most, ''two'' years older than her, at least until Kairi came along. She still fits this in terms of appearance and personality, though.
221* ThirdPersonPerson: She has a tendency to dip into this, because speaking in the third-person is common in Japan to denote a childish attitude.
222* TheUnfavourite: Feels like she is this to her parents compared to her baby brother, which is why she acts so childish all the time.

230
231A NewTransferStudent who replaces Nadeshiko as the Queen's Chair. This earns her a warm reception from the boys in school (while the girls are annoyed by her arrogance), resulting in an InstantFanClub because of her beauty. Beautiful as she is, however, Rima's got her own insecurities. However, it did, when combined with her liking for comedy, help create her Chara Kusukusu.
232----
233* BelligerentSexualTension: With Nagihiko.
234* BerserkButton: Don't even think of telling a joke wrong or insulting comedy, or even refusing to go to an exhibition of it, in Rima's presence.
235* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler: Eventually, she tells her parents that she is a person rather than an object for them to keep locked up.]]
236* CatchPhrase: "How foolish" and "Bala-Balansu."
237* ClingyJealousGirl: Rima gets this way about [[LesYay Amu]] when she wants to hang out with Nagihiko. This even happen when she shows purple aura behind after Amu's hugs [[WholesomeCrossdresser Nadeshiko]] for nearly a minute. Boy was she pissed.
238%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
239* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: She was kidnapped a few years before the start of the story, but although the kidnapping failed, it made her parents suffocatingly overprotective.]]

498----
499* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Fangirls over both Yoru and Kiseki (the latter mainly because he has [[TakeOverTheWorld the same goal as many villains out there]]).
500* ArtsyBeret: She represents Amu's artistic side and wears a blue beret, which carries over into Amu's transformation using Miki's power, Amulet Spade.
501* SmittenTeenageGirl: Has a tendency to being the easiest to please romantically of any of the Charas period, being mainly attracted to Kiseki and Yoru, but also showcasing interest into Rhythm moments after his hatching.
502* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's a tomboy compared to Suu, but whereas Ran is [[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak more athletic (albeit pink and cutesy)]], Miki is more artistic.

513----
514* BunnyEarsLawyer: She's a [[CuteClumsyGirl total klutz]] and [[TheDitz not all there]] in the head, but when it comes to cooking, cleaning, and purifying multiple X Eggs at once, Suu and the Amulet Clover transformation are the best choice among Amu's Charas. She doesn't even need to use [[CareBearStare Open Heart]] to save the day.
515* ChefOfIron: Her magical abilities revolve around using cooking and food ingredients as defense and support.
516* CloudCuckoolander: Suu always does things at her own pace, treats cooking and cleaning as SeriousBusiness, and jumps to a lot of odd conclusions. She always means well, though.
517* CuteClumsyGirl: Her impressive domestic talents are almost always immediately counterbalanced by her tendency to step on something important, trip, and spill everything.
518* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler: She gets kidnapped by Nikaidou and is stuck in a cage in his apartment. [[ThePollyanna Rather than angst about it]], Suu spends most of her time [[TrashOfTheTitans cleaning Yuu's apartment]] and [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath trying to convince him to do the right thing]], and eventually [[HeelFaceTurn succeeds.]]]]

522* MoralityPet: She becomes one to Nikaidou, who while he finds her mothering attitude towards him mildly irritating, never tells her to stop.
523* ProperLady: Her graceful curtsey, kind and polite demeanor, and talents in domestic chores make her the personification of Amu's aspirations to be this.
524* SpeaksFluentAnimal: When she was [[ADayInTheLimelight separated from the rest]], Suu asked a dog to help her find her way.
525* ThirdPersonPerson: She does this along with a VerbalTic, ending most of her sentences with "desu!"

544----
545* BewareTheNiceOnes: Temari is mostly demure and ladylike, but when something goes wrong, like when someone messes up the stage she and Nadeshiko dance in or a rat appears in their house and makes her feel disrespectful, she Character Changes with Nadeshiko and becomes more aggressive and fierce-tempered, attacking with a naginata and speaking with a Hiroshima dialect.
546* CherryBlossomGirl: She's a good example despite not being named Sakura. She has a pair of sakura flowers decorating her pinkish purple hair and wears a pale pink kimono with patterns of sakura flowers on her sleeves. Even her egg has a sakura flower pattern. To top it off, she's a Chara that represents the ideal YamatoNadeshiko.

548* KimonoIsTraditional: Temari is the representation of the YamatoNadeshiko Nadeshiko aspires to be for the Fujisaki. Fittingly, she wears an elegant floral kimono.
549* NaginatasAreFeminine: She pulls out a naginata when she gets angry, which matches her Japanese lady character. This carries over to Nadeshiko/Nagihiko when using Character Change with Temari.
550* PinkGirlBlueBoy: She represents Nadeshiko/Nagihiko's feminine side and aspirations to be a YamatoNadeshiko. Naturally, Temari's color is pink, in contrast to Nadeshiko/Nagihiko's masculine Chara, Rhythm whose color is blue.
551* YamatoNadeshiko: A Japanese lady in a kimono who is demure, gentle and graceful, but has an unwavering iron core that makes her downright scary when she's angry.

561* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Is a long-haired, attractive Chara.
562* PinkGirlBlueBoy: He represents Nadeshiko/Nagihiko's masculine side and repressed desire to play sports. Naturally, Rhythm's color is pink, in contrast to Nadeshiko/Nagihiko's feminine Chara, Temari whose color is pink.

580----
581* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She's the only Guardian Character that looks ''and'' acts like a toddler. This is because she represents Yaya's wish to be a baby again.
582* GirlishPigtails: Subtle, but the two strands of hair that stick out from under her cap resemble pigtails.
583* ThirdPersonPerson: Dips into this often, befitting her childlike nature.

589
590Rima's Guardian Character and represents Rima's desire to make others laugh.
591----
592* HimeCut: Subverted; she has the haircut, but none of the personality traits associated with it, being more of a prankster. It likely has to do with Rima's seemingly proper outward appearance.
593* MeaningfulName: "Kusukusu" is a Japanese sound effect that represents a mischievous laugh. Makes sense, since she's modeled after a clown.
594* ThePrankster: Is one, which is appropriate with her chosen human's desire to become a comedian.

613----
614* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Represents Ikuto's desire for freedom from Easter.
615* CatBoy: He's essentially a tiny cat boy, having a cat's ears and tail. Using his power gives Ikuto cat features as well.

633Utau's second Guardian Character and is the complete angelic opposite of Il.
634----

636* EyesAlwaysShut: Her eyes are constantly closed.
637* GoodAngelBadAngel: The Good Angel to Il's Bad Angel.
638* MeaningfulName: -el is a common suffix of angel names (Gabriel, Uriel, Misael, etc, meaning 'God'), and is also the last two letters of 'angel'.

643[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sce_dia.png]]
644
645Amu's fourth Guardian Character. Diamond represents Amu's radiance. She is supposedly the most powerful Guardian Character.
646----
647* TheAce: The most powerful of Amu's Guardian Characters.
648* AscendedExtra: To an extent in the anime adaptation. In the manga Dia held a vital but sparse role as Amu's most powerful Guardian Character who proved vital in the latter story arcs, while in the anime she eventually became a mainstay alongside the original trio by the time of ''Party!''
649* BunnyEarsLawyer: Is a bit of an airhead, having a reputation for rarely leaving her egg and even forgetting the entire events that led to Easter's defeat despite playing a major role in the event. She is also simultaneously the strongest Guardian Character of the entire series with the ability to travel to the esoteric Road of Stars.
650* TheCorruption: Due to becoming an X-Egg due to Amu's personal doubts, she hatched with a cynical outlook on life and joined forces with Utau after determining Amu had little potential.
651%%* GirlishPigtails

657[[quoteright:185:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hotaru_shugo_chara.jpg]]
658
659Rikka's Guardian Character. Rikka gave birth to her egg in ''Shugo Chara!!! Dokki Doki'' episode 15. Before she hatched, Rikka felt lost of herself which subsequently turned her egg into an X-Egg, but it was purified very soon. Hotaru is polite and elegant, balancing out Rikka's energy and spunk.
660----
661* CanonForeigner: Like Rikka, she's an original creation of the anime.

679-->''"Ohohohoho! We meet again, Amu Hinamori!"''
680----
681* AffectionateParody: Saaya seems to be one to the stuck-up rich girl archetype from 1980s shoujo anime.
682* AlphaBitch: PlayedForLaughs. She'd like to be this, but she's Amu's UnknownRival and hardly ever manages to eclipse her in popularity.
683* DesignatedVictim: By so far, the only character to have been X-Egged, X-Charaed and Mystery-Transformed.
684* DreadfulMusician: She can play the piano very well. Singing on the other hand...
685* EvilCounterpart: Her Mystery-Transformation, Hinamori Dream (And the subsequents Gorgeous Heart, Gorgeous Spade, and Gorgeous Clover), made her achieve this status, by having "evil" (Actually opposite rather than evil, but it still counts) versions of Amu's transformations and attacks... for one episode, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia and she doesn't even remember it.]]
686* IJustWantToBeYou: Her motive when she underwent a Mystery-Transformation as Hinamori Dream.
687* FullNameBasis: One-sided on her part with Amu.
688* GirlPosse: Is the leader of one.
689* HopelessSuitor: Sorry, but neither Tadase nor Kukai are interested.
690* {{Ojou}}: She's rich, she's superficial, and she's vain.
691* NoblewomansLaugh: She has a tendency to do this, complete with the "hand over mouth" pose.
692* RichBitch: She's not a bitch all the time, but she ''is'' rich.
693* UnknownRival: To Amu.

702----
703* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Amu, her older sister.
704* BigSisterWorship: Towards Amu, to the point where Ami's first words were actually "big sister".
705%%* BrattyHalfPint
706* ChildrenAreInnocent: The reason she can see Guardian Characters.
707* CuteButCacophonic: Not that her parents think so, but Amu seems to think that her parents' doting praise of Ami's squeaky "singing" is a bit much.
708%%* DaddysGirl
709* EnfantTerrible: She's this from the perspective of Ran, Miki and Su, since to them Ami is, well, a giant toddler. And then there's the [[NightmareFetishist murder mystery game she forcefully ropes them into...]]
710* FamilyThemeNaming: Ami, the little sister of Amu.
711* GirlishPigtails: Being a cute baby girl, she ties her hair up in adorable pigtails.
712* {{Malaproper}}: Shugoi Chara, anyone?
713* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Wouldn't you know it that she was the one that helped Utau make a HeelFaceTurn, huh?]]
714[[/folder]]
715
716[[folder:Midori and Tsumugu Hinamori]]
717Amu and Ami's parents.
718----
719* BoyfriendBlockingDad: A notable aversion; Tsumugu reacts to the idea of his older daughter having a boyfriend with [[{{Squee}} overenthusiastic excitement]].
720* CameraFiend: Tsumugu is a wildlife photographer, though he seems to use a majority of his film on countless pictures of his family.
721* DotingParent: Most visibly towards Ami since she's a toddler.
722* HappilyMarried: To an almost SickeninglySweethearts degree.
723* ParentalObliviousness: Like most adults, they are course none of the wiser to the existence of the guardian characters, and it is a while before they notice Ikuto sneaking into their house.
724* WomenAreWiser: A mild example, since Midori is usually calmer and more rational than her [[{{Keet}} husband]]. When she ultimately finds out about Amu harbouring Ikuto, she asks no further questions when Amu tells her that Ikuto is in trouble and offers to find him an alternative place to stay.
725[[/folder]]
726
727[[folder:Aruto and Souko Tsukiyomi]]
728Ikuto and Utau's parents.

732* HighSchoolSweethearts: Aruto, Souko and Tadase's father were all friends in high school, and Aruto and Souko eventually fell in love and married.

735
736[[folder: Yui and Mizue Hotori]]
737Tadase's parents.
738----
739* ArrangedMarriage: Yui and Mizue were arranged to be married, which would explain why Mizue was so insecure about where Yui's feelings lay. He does end up reassuring her that he loves her though.
740* GreenEyedMonster: Mizue was convinced that her husband was in love with Souko, and took her jealousy out on Souko's children, [[TheScapegoat Ikuto most especially]].
741* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Mizue finally realizes how her jealousy has clouded her judgement, and she is deeply remorseful of how she treated Ikuto and Utau.]]
742* TrueCompanions: After Aruto went missing, prompting Souko to go look for him, Yui took in his two best friends' children, no questions asked.
