The Three Magical Item Bearers
Chacha
Chacha
Click here to see her Magical Princess form
Voiced by: Masami Suzuki
Our main heroine, a blonde-haired girl with a red riding hood who is the sole student of her caretaker, Seravy. Despite being trained by the world's greatest magician, she often blunders her magic spells, leading to calamity for herself and everyone around her. She is best friends with Riiya and Shiine, though it appears that Riiya is her favorite, probably because she thinks his werewolf form is cute. In the anime, she uses her medallion to transform into the Magical Princess.- Barrier Warrior: At one point Chacha brings up her shield to protect against a volley of missiles. It wasn't needed because the magic circle she was standing in had a shield of its own.
- Combat Pragmatist: You know how most magical girls scuffle with their opponents just before unleashing their attack and defeating them? Magical Princess doesn’t do that and just prefers to jump straight to the finisher if she can.
- Genki Girl: She's bubbly, friendly, and playful.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: A very nice blonde girl, though she can lean towards Dumb Blonde on occasion.
- Little Red Fighting Hood: This is the red hood that has fought by herself against various demon world monsters, after all.
- Inept Mage: Her spells generally tend to wind up turning into something that sounds like what she wanted to appear.
- Invincible Hero: Magical Princess. Most of the villains were lucky to even get to attack her. She did have trouble more frequently in Season 2, but she still won all but one fight in the end.
- Lost Orphaned Royalty: She is the princess of the magic kingdom. Daimao turned her parents into stone when she was just a baby, and she was taken care of by Seravy ever since.
- Princess Protagonist: And not just because of her Magical Princess form.
- Red Riding Hood Replica: She fits the description quite well with her outfit and having a wolf companion.
- Scarf of Asskicking: Wears one as Magical Princess.
- Transformation Trinket: Her part of the Magical Princess items is a medallion.
Riiya
Riiya
Voiced by: Shingo Katori (anime), Yukinobu Kaneko (Character Show and Akazukin Chacha: Osawagase! Panic Race!)
A childhood friend of Chacha, who he has a crush on. He is a voracious eater and has superhuman strength, but is more notable for being a werewolf who can transform into a white wolf pup, even without the presence of the moon. However, even when he transforms, he barely looks like a dog, and because his intelligence is less-than-stellar, he is often ridiculed as a "stupid dog". He is almost always at war with Shiine over Chacha's affections and occasionally doesn't think too highly of Seravy either.- Big Eater: Riiya LOVES to eat! And boy, does he love food. He'll eat anything as long as it's edible.
- Cute Little Fangs: Riiya's fangs often show up when he's grinning widely, as he's a wolf.
- Dogs Are Dumb: Even when he's in his wolf form, he's still not the smartest guy.
- Dub Name Change: In the obscure English dub, Riiya has the R in his name switched to an L, turning Riiya into Liiya.
- Dumb Muscle: Riiya is both ridiculously strong... and ridiculously stupid.
- Easy Amnesia: Riiya in the third episode, where after being accidently clonked on the head by one of Chacha's spells, gets his memory of him and his friends completely wiped, allowing Marine to declare him as her new boyfriend.
- The Nose Knows: Being a wolf, he has a good sense of smell, and is able to see through Seravy’s disguises because of it.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's the brawn of the trio and is quite strong despite his size.
- Transformation Trinket: His part of the Magical Princess Items is a bracelet.
- Super-Strength: He routinely manages to lift things many times his size.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Argues with Shiine a lot.
- Werewolves Are Dogs: He tends to be called a mutt when he's in his wolf pup form.
- Wonderful Werewolf: He's a little werewolf boy and the muscle powerhouse to his two magician friends. Besides being a friendly Nice Guy who cares for his friends, Riiya can also shape-shift himself into an adorable white wolf pup when necessary.
Shiine
Shiine
Voiced by: Noriko Hidaka
A brown-haired magician boy who is the apprentice of Dorothy. He is almost always called "Shiine-chan" by everyone and even refers to himself as such. He falls in love with Chacha at first sight and immediately becomes Riiya's rival as a result. Despite the two being in a love triangle over Chacha, they are forced to cooperate for Chacha's sake, especially in the anime where she needs them to transform into the Magical Princess.- Comedic Underwear Exposure: Upon hearing that the kappas were monsters in episode 39 and their plans involving the group, he becomes so scared that he runs off without bothering to put his clothes on outside of a pair of tighty whities.
- Inept Mage: He's a little better than Chacha with his magic, but not by much.
- Transformation Trinket: His part of the Magical Princess items is a ring.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Argues with Riiya a lot.
The Mentors
Seravy
Seravy
Voiced by: Toru Senrui
Often regarded as "the world's greatest magician", he is both the teacher and caretaker of Chacha, and the childhood friend of Dorothy, his one true love. Unlike Chacha, he's great at whatever he does, but he's also incredibly weird, doing things such as always carrying around with him a doll called "Elizabeth", modeled after the young Dorothy, frequently speaking as Elizabeth using ventriloquism, and conveniently passing at several locations using a bizarre, sometimes Paper-Thin Disguise.
- The Ace: Though it may not seem like it, Seravy is the world's greatest magician, a title he only accidently took from Dorothy after knocking her on the head with a very large congratulatory bouquet of flowers.
- All-Powerful Bystander: He prefers not to get involved in conflicts, but he's still very powerful, so much so that Daimaou considers him the only real threat aside from Chacha, and admits that he's the only reason why he hasn't conquered the entire world.
- Characterization Marches On: Seravy, the borderline unpredictable Jerk with a Heart of Gold / Cloudcuckoolander used to be a stern and mature, yet kind teacher in the first few episodes.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Seriously, the guy's just disinterested and indifferent most of the time, but at least he'll secretly show up in the sidelines of the action when things get too rough.
- Master of Disguise: Played with. Seravy has a tendency to disguise himself, but his disguises are very obvious and most of the cast knows it’s him. It still tends to fool Daimao's minions, however.
- Meaningful Name: Sounds like "C'est la vie", which is the best way to describe his personality.
Dorothy
Dorothy
Voiced by: Junko Otsubo (Episodes 1-58) Mina Tominaga (Episode 60 and onwards)
A strong-willed and hot-tempered magician who aims to surpass her childhood friend, Seravy. She appears to have mixed feelings towards Seravy, one reason being that he tends to pick fights with her. She also had dreams of becoming the greatest magician in the world and even succeeded for a few minutes, but they were dashed when Sevravy accidentally stole the title from her when he hit Dorothy on the head with a huge congratulatory bouquet he conjured. She's also Shiine's master and caretaker and is probably the only person she truly values.- Adaptation Dye-Job: Dorothy's hair color in the present day is black in the manga, but the anime changed it to a cerise (reddish-pink) color.
- Berserk Button: Pretty much ANY insult can automatically unleash her rage, but the one that takes the cake is calling her "ugly".
- Biting the Handkerchief: Shiine imagines her doing this while imagining the two being personal slaves to Access.
- Master of Disguise: Occasionally disguises herself with Seravy, and the same applies with her- the cast recognize her, the bad guys don’t.
- Monster of the Week: Takes the role in Episode 1 where she gets corrupted by a magic mirror Daimao sends to her. She ends up summoning a dragon, which Magical Princess defeats.
- Noblewoman's Laugh: Does this on occasion.
Outside Allies
Yakko
Yakko
Voiced by: Mayumi Akado
The Kurozukin Yakko, not to be confused with that Yakko. This girl is a wizard with a black-riding hood who's surprisingly not an Evil Doppelgänger, despite looking very similar to Chacha. She does see Chacha as her rival and instead of using magic spells, she specializes in alchemy and relies on creating magic items and potions using her wild imagination. Her rivalry is motivated by the fact that she has a huge Precocious Crush on Seravy, as turns out that she's very passionate about adult love.- Divergent Character Evolution: Yakko was a wizard like Chacha but switched to alchemy in later appearances.
- Likes Older Men: Arguably her defining character trait is that she is obsessed with Seravy, and not only wishes to move in with him and replace Chacha, but she also wants to marry him.
- Love Potion: Yakko was always trying to slip these to Seravy, but the never work.
- Magic Potion: Her main method of trying to combat people. This tends to go poorly for her.
- The Rival: Fancies herself to be Chacha's rival.
Marine
Marine
Voiced by: Tomo Sakurai
A selfish mermaid who is obsessed with Riiya, but has no idea that he's actually a werewolf. After meeting and spending the day with him, she decided to join the same magical school that Riiya and his friends attend. She can turn herself into a human whenever her tail dries out and usually uses her magical wand that only summons things associated with the sea. She hates Chacha because of how close she is with Riiya, and is more or less in a love-triangle with her over Riiya.- Dirty Coward: At the first sign of trouble, Marine tends to spawn a shell and hide herself in it until the coast is clear.
- Magical Incantation: She repeats her own name repeatedly before using her wand.
Orin
Orin
Voiced by: Noriko Namiki
A tiny Ninja girl who might remind one of Himiko Shinobibe, except this one has more of a shy and gentle personality, and can be instantly ruthless towards her enemies. She often hangs out with Yakko and Marin and acts as the voice of reason to both of them. Like the other two, she also has her own crush, but on Shiine, who makes her turn as pink as her garb whenever he speaks to her. Unlike Yakko and Marine, she bares no ill will towards anyone and often gets along well with Chacha.- Absurdly Sharp Sword: Provided Orin can swing it, that sword of hers can cut anything.
- The Baby of the Bunch: Her age is never hinted at unlike the others, but it's implied that she's much younger than the other kids. The other girls even dote on her about her crush on Shiine.
- Ceiling Cling: The reason why it takes until Episode 8 for her to appear is that she was practicing doing this.
- Demoted to Extra: Her role is drastically reduced by the end of the series and becomes nothing more than a Bit Character.
- Dub Name Change: Suzu in the English dub.
