Main Characters
In General
- All Abusers Are Male: Subverted, actually. While a majority of the boys' actions are cruel and abusive, not to mention Karlheinz' treatment of his sons, Cordelia also stands among them as one of the more heinous abusers and is the reason the Sakamaki triplets ended up as messed in the head as they did.
- All Men Are Perverts: Obviously Laito, Shu is also this but he's more a Covert Pervert. Most boys are only interested in her blood but they may genuinely come to love her in some routes.
- Bastard Boyfriend: As a masochist series, most of them act cruel, taunting, and forceful to Yui, which is supposed to be their "Do-S" appeal.
- Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: All the boys are the sadistic and abusive Brooding Boys while Yui is the gentle, sweet, kindhearted, and forgiving Gentle Girl.
- Cast Full of Pretty Boys: Obviously, since it's a female-focused franchise. If they're tremendously ugly, Fangirls wouldn't even be drooling over them.
- Interspecies Romance: Yui with any and all of the male vampires she meets in the franchise. Though she later can turn into a vampire herself in some endings, making this subverted there.
- Themed Harem: Vampires. Who knew?
- Took a Level in Kindness: They soon started to become nicer in each of their endings, though it doesn't always work well.....
- Vampires Are Sex Gods: All the vampires are good looking, and their blood sucking can easily be seen as an analogue for sex.
Yui Komori
Voiced by: Rie Suegara (anime) (Japanese), Maggie Flecknoe (English), Vanessa Olea (Mexican Spanish).
The heroine of the franchise and the player character. After her father moves abroad, she is forced to live in a mansion with six mysterious vampires.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Despite their incredibly jerkass personalities and/or sadomasochistic tendencies, Yui ends up falling for one based on whose route she's in.
- Babies Ever After: In some routes of the game version.
- In MORE,BLOOD ending No. 1 ("Vampire Ending"), she and Azusa have three children. All of them are named after Azusa’s former “friends” and wounds: Justin, Christina, and Melissa.
- In Ruki's Brute ending, Yui and Shin have a son named Adam.
- In Lost Eden Good End, she is pregnant from Carla and Subaru in their respective routes.
- Blessed with Suck:
- Yui being Cordelia’s vessel, causing her to be a Bishonen Vampire Magnet.
- In the BLOODY BOUQUET series of CDs, she's cursed with a spell that makes her blood inedible to vampires. However, by this point, she's already in a relationship with a vampire, they have intimate moments by drinking blood, and the curse slowly kills her if her man doesn't perform an Act of True Love.
- Butt-Monkey: Though didn't get beaten up and bruised like her Male Harem Lead Counterparts, she's almost everyone's punching bag and seen nothing more than just a mere blood bank, at first.
- Damsel in Distress: From having her blood sucked by immoral vampires to having her body being nearly taken over by Cordelia.
- Dating What Daddy Hates: Her father is a vampire hunter, and her love interests are vampires. It goes how you imagine.
- Dude Magnet: Justified because her special type of blood attracts the male vampires in the series; deconstructed since she has to deal with them biting and harassing her against her will. If she's just an ordinary girl they'll just simply kill her and find a new vessel.
- Embarrassing Nickname: Is given a number of demeaning nicknames by the vampires.
- Ayato calls her "Pancake" for her small chest.
- Laito calls her "Bitch-chan". Crunchyroll translated it as "Little Bitch" for the anime, in the Mexican Spanish dub it was translated as "Pequeña Zorra"note , and in the Portuguese dub its nickname was literally translated, as "Vadia".note This one (alongside the nickname "Pancake" given by Ayato, literally translated as "Panqueca") was considered by many watchers as a "Blind Idiot" Translation, as most FanSubs used the original term.
- Yuma calls her "Sow".
- Kou calls her "M Neko-chan" (Masochistic Kitten).
- Ruki calls her "Livestock".
- Extreme Doormat: Some of the boys are bothered by her passiveness and whining instead of trying to escape from the Sakamaki mansion and start living on her own. The reason why she's like that in the first place is because she's told she'll get killed by the brothers if she dares to defy them.
- Fear of Thunder: She is afraid of thunder.
- Females Are More Innocent: Out of all of the main characters, Yui is most innocent among her love interests. However, this can be subverted if she's pushed over the edge.
- Feminine Women Can Cook: In some of the routes, she is shown cooking.
- Hello, [Insert Name Here]: Yui Komori is her default name but it can be changed.
- Heroes Want Redheads : If either Laito or Ayato's route is chosen.
- Ill Girl: In the Bloody Bouquet series, Yui is in danger of this after she gets pricked by a black rose's thorn. Additionally, this also makes her blood completely inedible to the vampires, and only an Act of True Love can save her.
- Japanese Christian: She was raised Catholic.
- Morality Pet: Her influence is the main reason the boys change their sadistic ways.

Sakamaki Brothers
Shu Sakamaki
Voiced by: Kosuke Toriumi (Japanese), Ty Mahany (English), Lucas Gama (Portuguese)
The eldest son. He's intelligent, but a lack of motivation caused him to have to repeat a grade. He particularly hates being dragged into troublesome things. It seems he can sleep well listening to music.
- Alliterative Name: Shu Sakamaki.
- Black Sheep: He doesn't care about becoming head of the family.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Shu has very little motivation to apply himself to anything, but he's far more intelligent and perceptive than he cares to let on.
- Coat Cape: Wears his uniform jacket like this.
- Covert Pervert: Shu is also somewhat of a pervert and usually teases the heroine about wearing unattractive panties and bras, after she becomes too pushy with him and seeks his attention.
- Extreme Doormat: Downplayed. Despite Shu being the eldest son, he doesn't take any responsibility to look after his five brothers and the house; he usually just complains about how he has to "deal with their problems." He tends to push this job to Reiji. As such, it's not really about being a pushover but being lazy.
- Freudian Excuse: The reason why Shu is such a Kuudere is because Edgar, his first friend, died during a fire after trying to save his family. After that traumatic experience, Shu secluded himself from the rest of the world.
- Headphones Equal Isolation: He is always seen with his MP3 player attached to a wire that which is wrapped around his neck and with the earphones always in his ears.
- Held Back in School: He's 19 and is still in his third year of high school.
- Hikikomori: Shu rarely ever leaves his room.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he's aloof and as rude to Yui as his brothers are, Shu doesn't do anything outright cruel to her.
- My Greatest Failure: Edgar was Shu's first friend and the first one who treated him as a person. Unfortunately, he died in a fire (later revealed to be caused by Reiji). The trauma was so great that Shu decided not to attach himself to anyone or anything again. When he meets Yui, he brushes her off at first, afraid to attach to someone else. He later comes to see Yui as his My Greatest Second Chance, at least in his route.
- Older Than They Look: Despite being the eldest, he looks slighty more youthful than Reiji. In the manga Yui asked him if he's Reiji's little brother. Justified since vampires with later birthdays are the elder brother.
- Real Men Hate Sugar: Does not like eating anything sweet.
- Sleepyhead: He sleeps a lot, and yet he is always tired.
- Strong Family Resemblance: He looks like his mother Beatrix.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: The emotions were always there, deep down; he just never had anyone to bring them out because nobody except for Edgar, who died shortly after, has ever bothered to treat him like a person instead of the family heir.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Rare steak.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Shu has pyrophobia (fear of fire) due to what happened with Edgar. When he sees a fire, he runs away, and trembles in fear.
Reiji Sakamaki
Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi (Japanese), David Wald (English), Manuel Perez (Mexican Spanish), Rodrigo Nanal (Portuguese)
The neurotic second son. He treats both the laws of the Sakamaki family and his own standards as important and he forces those around him to abide by those rules, as well. The tone of his voice is kind and polite, but the actual content of what he says is harsh.
- Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend: If you choose his route.
- Conspicuous Gloves: Wears a white one on his right hand.
- Control Freak: He values rules and demands that they are followed by others.
- Deadpan Snarker: Despite how rigid he may seem, he still has some sense of humor (albeit a dry one).
- Faux Affably Evil: Even though he might have a polite, sophisticated way of speaking (which the creators describe to be "butler-like"), his words tend to come with a biting edge.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: The only one of his brothers to wear glasses. He, just like the rest of his brothers, is an extreme sadist (but also has a surprising, extremely masochistic side if triggered right). His particular phrase is schadenfreude (German for "happiness in the misfortune of others"). Sometimes he does or says something in order to get a reaction that amuses him.
- Insufferable Genius: Reiji will call anyone an idiot if he finds what they do and/or say to be stupid.
- Neat Freak: He cleans the mansion because no one else will.
- The Perfectionist: He loves perfection.
- Real Men Wear Pink: Reiji loves to collect tea sets and kitchenware.
- Rules Lawyer: Shown by how he values rules, Reiji is a strict person towards both himself and those around him.
- Spot of Tea: Reiji enjoys his English tea, served with some pasta. He even states that he prefers tea rather than drinking Yui’s blood. He changes his mind at the end of his route, in Reiji’s Good End.
- Stoic Spectacles: The only one of his brothers to wear glasses and is the least openly emotional among them.
- Strong Family Resemblance: It is stated by Cordelia that if he weren't so stiff, he would look just like his father from back when she first met him. She even says their eyes are similar.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Spaghetti Carbonara.

Laito Sakamaki
Voiced by: Daisuke Hirakawa (Japanese), Blake Shepard (English), Hugo Nuñez (Mexican Spanish), Dláigelles Riba (Portuguese)
The eldest of the triplets. He prefers people’s faces of displeasure, offensive language and the like are his specialty, and his abnormal behavior stands out. It seems to be his habit that when he gets excited, he starts speaking very quickly.

- Evil Redhead: A jerkass sadomasochist with red hair.
- Hidden Depths: Laito is good at interpreting peoples' motives.
- Hormone-Addled Teenager: He is a proud pervert and a voyeur, which makes him want to share Yui with others and he enjoys seeing her be preyed on by other men, but then he becomes possessive and jealous and punishes her for it. It is shown he also doesn't mind if people watch when he is messing with Yui.
- Horny Devil: He's a vampire and a pervert.
- Lovable Sex Maniac: Laito is extremely perverted, as well as a sadist like the rest of his brothers. His perverted nature causes him to be suspended from school often. However, underneath all that, he's still meant to be admirable to his playing audience.
- Nice Hat: Rarely seen without his hat.
- Parental Incest: He would often have sex with his mother Cordelia, who was into Anything That Moves, but he thought it was "love" and would get jealous of her other partners. When his father found out about it, he locked Laito in the basement. A little later his mother went to see him, taunted him and had sex with Richter, his uncle, in front of him.
- Sex Equals Love: Laito has an unclear understanding of love, believing it largely to be lust. He tries to explain this to Yui.
- Son of a Whore: He and his triplet brothers are this thanks to Cordelia.
- Spell My Name with an "S": Some dubs address him as Raito or Light (due to another Light with same name pronunciation), but supplementary materials confirm his name is Laito.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Macarons.
- What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Laito has a warped version of what "love" means.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He is scared of bugs and creepy-crawlies.
Kanato Sakamaki
Voiced by: Yūki Kaji (Japanese), Corey Hartzog (English), Karla Vega (Mexican Spanish), Francisco Freitas (Portuguese)
The middle of the triplets. He always blames people for everything and cries violently, but will cease crying immediately when he gets sweets, which he loves.
- Alliterative Family: Downplayed. This only applies to Laito and Ayato, who are his triplet brothers. The last syllables of their names end in -to.
- Ambiguous Disorder: Kanato's disturbed, child-like personality is a fact and he has a very... eccentric personality, has since childhood; he's usually staying alone, talking to his dolls, self-harming, or turning others into wax dolls. Around others, Kanato usually acts very spoiled, childish, and demanding, usually emotionally blackmailing them either with tears or hysterical tantrums to get his way; indeed, he is quite mentally unstable, even showing signs of psychotic behavior when angered. He is shown to be moved to tears easily, which is later replaced by loud yelling. And he adores sweets.
- Creepy Child: Looks like one and acts like one. See Cute and Psycho and Psychopathic Manchild for more.
- Curtains Match the Window: Light purple hair and light purple eyes.

- Does Not Like Spam:
- He hates eating spicy food.
- He hates coffee, because it's so bitter.

- Living Doll Collector: Has a room full of wax dolls.
- Masochist's Meal: In his route, he forces Yui to eat disgusting food such as seaweed and raw liver, because it would make her blood taste better.
- Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Everything about him is disturbing in some degree.

- Sweet Tooth: He really likes sweets and they are one of the very few things that can prevent one of his violent fits.
- Trademark Favorite Food: His favorite dessert is raspberry pudding, but he likes anything sweet in general.
- "Well Done, Son!" Guy: As a child, Kanato craved his mother's attention and would self harm just to get it, though these efforts were largely in vain. Kanato did love Cordelia as a child; however, this never reached her because she shows zero interest in him aside from his singing.
- Yandere: Kanato can freely be categorized as a "yandere type" of character due to the bonds he is capable of having, even if they still are quite twisted. Kanato is childish but overly possessive and even if he's not always thinking clearly, he must decide the future not only for himself but also for the heroine.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Inherited his purple hair from Cordelia.
Ayato Sakamaki
Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa (Japanese), Chris Patton (English), Ricardo Bautista (Mexican Spanish), Fabrício Rinaldi (Portuguese)
The youngest of the triplets. Out of all the brothers, he believes that he himself is the best and the strongest. He loves causing mischief and stirs up a lot of trouble.
- Abusive Parents: His mother Cordelia forced him to study really hard (often forbidding him to play) and instead of praising his efforts, she would often belittle him and physically abuse him for any perceived failure, telling him that if he wasn't the best, he didn't deserve anything good and he wasn't her son. She also used to throw him in a lake nearby despite his inability to swim as punishment and would watch as he struggled and begged her to save him.
- Alliterative Family: Downplayed. This only applies to Laito and Kanato, who are his triplet brothers. The last syllables of their names end in -to.

- Because You Were Nice to Me: In his route, Ayato falls in love with Yui because of her unwavering kindness to him.
- Big Eater: Ayato is also noted that he eats a lot (though only if it is his favorite food).
- Cannot Spit It Out: Ayato has a hard time expressing his feelings and he tends to get quickly jealous of anything.
- Evil Redhead: Ayato is quite the rebel and has a passion for torture devices; such as the Iron Maiden and a device like that can be found in his room, which he uses instead a bed (the spikes are removed).
- Fashionable Asymmetry: His uniforms right pant leg is rolled up to his knees.
- Family Eye Resemblance: His green eyes are similar to Cordelia’s and Laito's.
- Fiery Redhead: When Ayato isn't being a sadistic jerk, he shows a passionate side.
- Implied Love Interest: All but stated to be Yui's canon partner, given he's front and center on almost every cover and is depicted with her the most often.

- Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: He is one of the main characters and happens to have red hair with green eyes.
- Son of a Whore: Ayato and his brothers are this because of their mother enjoyed sleeping around other guys.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Loves takoyaki.
Subaru Sakamaki
Voiced by: Takashi Kondo (Japanese), Josh Grelle (English), Pablo Mejia (Mexican Spanish), Douglas Guedes (Portuguese)

- Alliterative Name: Subaru Sakamaki.

- Hair-Trigger Temper: Can get angry very easily.
- Japanese Delinquents: He likes to fight and break things.

- Red Eyes, Take Warning: He has blood red eyes like his mother.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Has his mother's hair and eyes.

Mukami Brothers
Ruki Mukami
Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (Japanese), Adam Gibbs (English)
Contrary to his courteous behavior, he’s the eldest son who has a cold-hearted feeling to him. Using clever words to skillfully manipulate people, it’s his specialty to proceed in such a way that his own hands are not dirtied.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: He has dark blue hair and eyes in the anime.

- Parental Abandonment: When his father became bankrupt, his mother ran off with her secret lover, and his father hanged himself.

- Trademark Favorite Food: Soup.
- Tragic Keepsake: The book he carries is a memento from his father.
Kou Mukami
Voiced by: Ryohei Kimura (Japanese), Bryson Baugus (English)
The friendly second son who is playing the role of an idol. While he is very moody and self-centered, his devilish charm seems to appeal to people and he's quite popular.
- Chick Magnet: Many of his female classmates find him attractive.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Kou was abandoned by his parents and ended up in an Orphanage of Fear. He's heavily implied to have been a former Sex Slave and eventually decided to disfigure himself, gouging out his right eye in order to make himself less appealing to the aristocrats. It didn't work since they preferred him badly injured, and he was nearly Driven to Suicide after admitting to himself that his life was hell.

- Glass Eye: When he was first given his new eye, he described it as a jewel.
- Magical Eye: His right eye can see into people's hearts and he can tell if they're lying.

- Trademark Favorite Food: Vongole Bianco.
Yuma Mukami
Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki (Japanese), Andrew Love (English)
The third son who lives by his instincts. He has a huge body and his voice and attitude are also big. Furthermore, he acts out violently on impulse and is lacking a little in class/dignity.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Yuma is similar to Subaru in this respect. So much so that Reiji points out their similar temperament in VANDEAD CARNIVAL.
- Personality Blood Types: Type O.
- Pet the Dog: In the Mukamis' backstory, when Yuma first met Azusa, he found Azusa being beaten by a group of kids, only to drive them off. He then gave Azusa food and refused to hit him in place of the other kids. See Azusa's entry for his reaction to it.

- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: As a child, he was very lively and cheery. After his village burned down with his parents still inside and his amnesia following the incident, he had to become even tougher if he wanted to survive out on the streets with the other members of his gang. He grew violent, rough, and dominating with time.
Azusa Mukami
Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio (Japanese), Greg Ayres (English)
The fourth son who is timid, but nonetheless obstinate. Because of that tenacity, most of the time things end up going the way he wishes. He's an extreme masochist who enjoys being wounded.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Azusa has black hair with grey tips and grey eyes in the games, and blue-green hair and purple eyes in the anime.
- Affably Evil: Azusa is probably the sole person who fits this trope of all of Yui's love interests. He has a twisted yet visible sense of right and wrong; he often tells his brothers not to fight, and he apologizes to Yui when he startles her, deceives her, or feels he must do something against her wishes. Azusa also admits he knows that lying is wrong, but he will lie to make someone happy, to earn a punishment, or to fulfill his older brothers’ orders. He also never uses demeaning nicknames.
- Ambiguous Disorder: Azusa talks in a slow, monotone manner.
- Babies Ever After: In MORE BLOOD ending No. 1 ("Vampire Ending"), he and Yui have three children. All of them are named after Azusa’s former “friends” and wounds: Justin, Christina, and Melissa.

- Combat Sadomasochist: He likes to inflict pain on others and likes others to hurt him although sometimes he hurts himself.
- Covered in Scars: There are scars on his face and arms.
- Dark and Troubled Past: While on the street, three kids named Justin, Melissa, and Christine used to beat him up for no reason. He grew to enjoy the pain they inflicted as he saw it as proof that he was alive and there was meaning to his life. This is why he became a Combat Sadomasochist.
- The Gadfly: Azusa will purposely tease and provoke his brothers to get them to lose their temper and hit him.
- Mellow Fellow: He has the lowest energy of the entire cast.
- Nice Guy: Even though he has some masochist/sadist tendencies, Azusa is probably the kindest one out of the entire male vampire cast; he's never condescending towards anyone and is polite to Yui.
- Nice Hat: He wears a maroon beret.
- Orphanage of Fear: He ended up in the same one as Ruki, Kou, and Yuma. The other kids in the orphanage beat him up but then he met Yuma, who was the first person who was kind and nice to him and gave Azusa hope for the future. See Ruki's entry for details on their escape.

Shin Tsukinami
Voiced by: Showtaro Morikubo (Japanese), Houston Hayes (English)
The younger brother of the founders. Because he possesses a high pride due to being a founder, he looks down upon vampires of other bloodlines.

Family Members
Cordelia
Voiced by: Akane Tomonaga (Japanese), Monica Rial (English), Dolores Mondragón (Mexican Spanish)
Karlheinz's first wife. She is the mother of the triplets: Laito, Kanato, Ayato.
- Abusive Parents: To all her children, in varying degrees. From initiating Parental Incest with Laito to ignoring Kanato unless he was signing and being incredibly hard on Ayato, it's safe to say Cordelia is far from being Mother of the Year.
- Alpha Bitch: She used her status as the first wife as well as the Demon Lord's daughter to torment Beatrix by degrading her and trying to prove that her children were better than Beatrix's.
- Bastard Bastard: In Dark Fate, it's revealed that Cordelia is the illegitimate daughter of the Demon Lord and a mistress.
- Education Mama: She was extremely strict with Ayato, forcing him to study constantly and scolding him for wanting to play with his brothers, even going so far as to throw him in water, despite knowing that he couldn't swim at the time.
- A Family Affair: She cheated on her husband with his brother, Richter, in the past.
- Females Are More Innocent: Karl first met her when she was young while she was being neglected by her own father. He give her love, something which her father had never shown her before. However, in reality, Karl actually was after her blood for project and was only pretending to love her so she'll marry him and give'll him children with her blood. However, it's still completely averted since she still was abusive towards her children and put them through Hell throughout their lives.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: Just like her paramour Richter, Cordelia has a bad case of this. She's quick to sneer at the other wives for thinking Karlheinz actually loves them, yet she abused and pushed Ayato too hard, depriving him of his childhood just so she could impress her husband. She even started an argument with Christa that turned into a fight when Christa scoffed that Karlheinz was just using Cordelia, showing how badly she craved his affection and approval.
- Lecherous Stepparent: Shows this to Reiji. She even kiss him in the anime.
- Mandatory Motherhood: She did not want to have children, but did so because of Karlheinz.
- Manipulative Bitch: She was able to convince Richter that she would make him the Vampire King if he resurrected her.
- Mother Makes You King: Cordelia only wanted Ayato to be king to have Karl's love and affections. Although, she does get her wish in Lost Eden in all three of her sons' routes.

- Strong Family Resemblance: Kanato has her hair, while Laito and Ayato have her eye color.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Purple hair.
Beatrix
Voiced by: Mana Hirata (Japanese), Luci Christian (English), Rosalinda Márquez (Mexican Spanish)
Karlheinz's second wife. She is the mother of Shu and Reiji.
- Good Parents: Beatrix is by far the best mother shown in the series, despite her flaws and being the cause of the tension between Shu and Reiji. She was a rather decent mother and loved both her sons, compared to Cordelia and Christa. If she didn't favor Shu over Reiji, they wouldn't hate each other.
- Out of Focus: As the games continued, Beatrix is becoming less focus unlike Cordelia and Christa whose backstories has become more flash out. She's the only one among Karlheinz's wives whose background hasn't been flash out.
- Parental Favoritism: She focused more on Shu than Reiji because Shu was the oldest and therefore heir to the family.
- Parental Neglect: She loved Reiji deeply, but never gave him the attention he needed.
- Shared Family Quirks: Both Beatrix and Shu are closed off from other people while being warmer than they show at first glance. In Beatrix's case, it's primarily due to the burden of responsibility that came with raising Shu to be his father's heir, as well as having to deal with Cordelia.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Shu gets both his hair and eye color from Beatrix.
Christa
Voiced by: Yuki Tashiro (Japanese), Brittney Karbowski (English), Martha Ramírez (Mexican Spanish)

- Kissing Cousins: With Karlheinz.
- Mercy Kill: Begs Subaru to kill her to end her suffering. She even gave him a silver knife to do so.
- Insane Equals Violent: A variation of this. In her less lucid moments, she has drastic mood swings, sometimes destroying things around her and hurting people. At one point, she mistakes Yui for Cordelia and tries to poison her.
- Rape as Backstory: Karlheinz desired her, so he forced her to become his wife and raped her, causing her to become pregnant with Subaru. Becomes a subversion when it's revealed that she wasn't raped. Her mind was broken when she learned Karlheinz had pretended to love her.
- Rape Leads to Insanity: She became mentally unstable after the rape. Subverted, since her madness came as a result of her realizing that Karlheinz saw her as a mere object for his experiments.
- Shared Family Quirks: She has a habit of destroying things around her and lashing out at people when she's angry, just like her son. Both of them can also be very gentle and sweet when they're not angry.
- So Beautiful, It's a Curse: She was known among vampires as the 'White Rose' because of her beauty. This, unfortunately, lead to her Rape as Backstory and Rape Leads to Insanity.
- That Thing Is Not My Child!: Due to her mental instability, she sometimes acts like this towards Subaru.
- The Tragic Rose: She was known as the White Rose. Unfortunately, her marriage to her husband and being used to bear his child solely for his experiments caused her to wilt away.
Richter
Voiced by: Jun Konno (Japanese), David Matranga (English), Ismael Verastegui (Mexican Spanish)
Karlheinz's younger brother making him the Sakamaki brother's uncle.

his nephew and Cordelia's son, Laito. - Manipulative Bastard: In the anime, he managed to trick Cordelia (who is a fairly good manipulator) into thinking he actually loved her in order to become stronger than his brother and become the head of the family.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning
- The Renfield: To Cordelia. In the anime, it turns out he's actually The Starscream.
- The Rival: He is this to Laito for Cordelia.
- Sibling Rivalry: He is Karlheinz's younger brother and is determined to surpass him.
- Sycophantic Servant: He's this to Cordelia, being more than happy to shower her with affection and compliments. At one point, he even goes so far as to call Cordelia a good mother. This is despite her sleeping with him in front of her children at various points, to start.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Has green hair.

In fact, when Krone was the one who told to go to Karlheinz to find a cure for their dying race with Menae following her sister's wishes despite not understanding the reasons.
- The High Queen: She cared about her people greatly and was willing to tell her husband to stop his petty rivalry with Karl to focus on finding a cure for their people instead.
