As with many character pages, some spoilers will be unmarked.

Organizations

Weiß

Animal Theme Naming: Each of them is code-named for a breed of cat: Abyssinian, Bombay, Balinese, and Siberian. Glühen adds "Havana [Brown]" and "LaPerm," although unlike the original four these codenames are never used aloud in the anime (they belong to Kyou and Sena respectively)
Cartwright Curse: As a side effect of being Doom Magnets par excellence, nobody in Weiß has much luck keeping girlfriends alive. Yoji has it the worst, but everyone on the team except for Kyou has at least one instance.

Flower Motifs: Each of the boys is associated with a particular flower: Aya is red roses, Omi is freesias, Youji is cattleya (a specific type of orchid), Ken is gentians, Sena is pansies, and Kyou is yellow roses.
Four Is Death: Aside from initially having four members, look at the fates of the Fourth Weiß team: two dead, one amnesiac, one in prison, one stabbed to not-quite-death on a street corner, and their boss giving up everything that makes him a nice person.

It's Personal: The Third Weiß team (Aya, Omi, Ken and Youji) all have a fairly plausible reason to want Reiji Takatori dead. Fourth Weiß' new recruits, Kyou and Sena, both have a deeply personal reason to find out what the deal is with Koua Academy. Persia II all but admits he did this on purpose; Persia IV tells Rex outright that he did.

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: a failed P.I., a disgraced athlete, an amnesiac student, and a very angry young man out for revenge.

True Companions: Played with. It's plain to the audience that the core four care about each other, but they're all so damaged and wrapped up in their own issues that, by the time they realize it, it's too late.
We Help the Helpless: And when they get there too late, they enact bloody vengeance.

Aya Fujimiya (Ran Fujimiya)

VA: Takehito Koyasu (JP), Paul Juhn (EN - Kapitel), Dan Green (EN - Glühen)

Neither the devil nor death, I am just a murderer.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Went from bright red hair in AAWS and Kapitel to brown in Glühen. Might be an actual dye job, as he has the bright red color back in Side B color art except for one that shows him as he was in the final episode of Glühen, which uses the darker color. On the other hand, flashbacks and old photographs in Glühen show him having the brown hair the whole time, so it's really anyone's guess.

Badass and Child Duo: His relationship with Yuki. He's the badass, Yuki's the kid.

Badass Teacher: Glühen: Asami-sensei sees him this way after he stands up to S Class to defend Sena. Her perception is not exactly accurate; although Aya would probably have moved himself to defend any other innocent student in danger if given opportunity, the issue mostly never comes up.

Big Brother Instinct: Compulsively, not just to his actual little sister but also to Taiyou (even though they're the same age), Sakura, Sena, and Yuki.
Big Damn Heroes: Repeatedly. Weiß as a team sometimes manage to play Big Damn Heroes to save the victim of the week, but Aya especially has a way of turning up to bail out his teammates when they're in trouble.
Combat Pragmatist: Best illustrated when Aya pulls a gun in the middle of a sword fight.
Cool Car: His white Porsche doesn't look like much in the original anime's lackluster animation, but is quite snazzy when viewed through the higher production values of Glühen - something that is possibly helped along by it being a completely different make of white Porsche.

Flower Motifs: His given name, "Ran," means "orchid," a fact played with more than once in the series.
Healthcare Motivation: Aya-chan's hospital bills were a major factor in why he became an assassin, and the primary reason he joined Kritiker: they promised to provide for all of her medical care if he joined.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Ken, around the Side B timeline. He isn't very happy about it but it's the first one to notice Ken's like a nagging wife.
I Call It "Vera": according to character profiles, he calls his katana "Shion."

Meaningful Rename: With three different versions between AAWS, Kapitel and the First Mission audio drama.
Older and Wiser: The only member of Weiß to get saner in Glühen.
Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: He starts delivering more of these in Glühen.
Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Aya gets more of these than anyone else in Weiß.
Relative Error: Omi and Sakura both assume the cute, comatose girl he's caring for and using the name of is his lover, instead of his little sister. In Assassin and White Shaman, one of Ran's coworkers assumes Aya-chan is his girlfriend when she drags him away from his job to buy her something to eat.
Save the Day, Turn Away: He removes himself completely from Aya-chan and Sakura's lives after saving them both from Essett and Schwarz at the end of Kapitel.

Tragic Keepsake: Takes his sister's name and one of her earrings.

Omi Tsukiyono (Mamoru Takatori)

VA: Hiro Yuki (JP), Jamie McGonnigal (EN)

Never forgive the bad ones.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Went from dark blond hair in AAWS and Kapitel to a grayish color in Glühen. As a possible justification: The Takatori family doesn't want it recognized that Omi Tsukiyono and Mamoru Takatori are the same person. Change the color, change the style, instant unrecognizable look.

Dude Looks Like a Lady: He is noticeably effeminate and androgynous in appearance, to the point where he could pass as a female.
Goggles Do Nothing: Lampshaded in the outtakes: "Finally an use for this goggles I've been wearing for 24 episodes!"

Older Than He Looks: According to Forever White, Omi could easily pass for middle-school age.
Luke, I Am Your Father: Two of Weiß' targets are his older brothers, the man behind it all is his father, his potential love interest, Ouka, is his half-sister—but wait! His mother was sleeping with her brother-in-law on the sly, so his father is really his Uncle Shuichi—AKA Persia. So Ouka is actually his cousin. Parodied in the "Wish A Dream" CD drama, when Omi has a nightmare that not only is Ken his older brother but Youji is his father and Aya is his mother.
Manipulative Bastard: In and following Glühen: "Hey, I know how I'll find Epitaph! I'll hire a confused, ticking-time-bomb of an amateur, teenage assassin whose mother murdered the rest of his family, and let him run wild. If he screws up enough times, they won't be able to resist the bait!"
Meaningful Name: "Mamoru" means "protection."
Meaningful Rename: Shuchi Takatori renamed Mamoru Takatori "Omi Tsukiyono" after rescuing him from his kidnappers. Tsukiyono Castle was the vacation home of the Takatori family and as of Dramatic Precious is the private residence of Saijou Takatori, the first Persia; "omi" means "retainer" or "servant."
Odd Name Out: Hirofumi, Masafumi, and... Mamoru? Possibly foreshadowing to the fact that Reiji already knew the kid wasn't his.

Shipper on Deck: Seems to be a Sakura/Aya fan.

The Smart Guy: He's also the team's go-to guy for anything related to computers or other technology.

That Man Is Dead: Beginning with the end of Dramatic Precious, he gives up his identity as Omi and with it his remaining innocence, in order to take up his father's former position in Kritiker as Persia. The other members of Weiß still call him "Omi," but he lays that identity to rest for good after rejoining them for one more mission in Glühen, and identifies himself as Mamoru Takatori thereafter.
Tyke-Bomb: Persia took him in as a child following his kidnapping, and raised him to be an assassin.

Youji Kudou (Ryou Itou)

VA: Shin-ichiro Miki (JP), Robert Larkin, Marc Diraison (EN)

Woman's enemy is my enemy.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Went from dark hair in An Assassin and White Shaman to blond hair in the anime.

Cartwright Curse: Yoji has the worst luck with women of anyone in Weiß, with at least seven women that we know of dying after he gets involved with them. This is partly the result of his role as a Honey Trap for Kritiker, but as Dramatic Precious proves, even nameless one-night-stands aren't safe.
Chivalrous Pervert: Deconstructed. He's got the personality type in full force - and because of that, his Cartwright Curse and his role as a Honey Trap take a heavy toll on him emotionally, leading to a protracted breakdown that starts in Dramatic Precious and reaches its culmination in a near-Face–Heel Turn in Glühen.

Dead Person Conversation: Spends much of Glühen talking to Asuka's ghost. Sometimes on the phone.

Florence Nightingale Effect: Glühen shows that Yoji, now completely amnesiac, ends up marrying the nurse who cared for him while he was in the hospital after the climactic battle. It's not purely this trope at work, however, since what catches his attention before anything else is her name - Asuka.
Gadget Watches: Hides his wire in his diver's watch.

Honey Trap: Rare case where it's a man pulling this trick on women. And he pays for it since he tends to get emotionally involved.

Polyglot: Can speak Italian, read English, and probably teach art/flirt in German, as well.

Razor Floss: His garrotte wire sometimes functions as this, although more often he simply strangles or restrains people with it.

Spell My Name With An S: Yoji, Youji, or Yohji? Variations in romanization aren't usually notable enough for the trope, but not even the official source material can keep the spelling straight.

Victory-Guided Amnesia / Identity Amnesia: Following his Disney Death at the end of Glühen, he has a case of complete amnesia which allows him to forget about his past trauma and the things he did as a member of Weiß.
Walking Shirtless Scene: Mainly Glühen, where his mission clothes lack a shirt. He occasionally forgets to do up the top three buttons on his shirt, though.
What the Hell, Hero?: He calls Ken out for thinking he can just run off with Yuriko: "How many people have you killed? And you can hold her with those arms?"
Would Not Hit a Girl: per Word of God. He actually kills three women over the course of the series (Neu, Schelle, and Tsuji) but only after each of them beats the crap out of him and leaves him with no alternative, and it emotionally destroys him every time, leading directly to the very bad place he's in during Glühen.

Ken Hidaka

VA: Tomokazu Seki (JP), Brian Morey (EN)

It's too late to confess now.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Has brown eyes in the manga adaptations, but his eye color is inconsistent (brown, blue, and green at various different points) in the anime. The Glühen redesign settles on green.

Beleaguered Childhood Friend: Rather cruel variant, as Ken is an assassin ordered to kill his friend, Kase. Kase is a really sucky friend.

Blood Knight: Dramatic Precious through Glühen, though he seems to more or less get over it by Side B.

Deliberate Injury Gambit: The former Trope Namer, back when it was named I Have Two Kidneys. In order to take out Godmode Clone Toudou at the end of Glühen, Ken grabs him from behind and covers his mouth, and calls for Aya to run them both through.
Deuteragonist: Side B, arguably Dramatic Precious. He's even the Protagonist of Verbrechen and Strafe.
Establishing Character Moment: in Assassin and White Shaman, when his reaction to "Remember this guy who attacked you yesterday? He's your new teammate!" is to punch Aya in the face, and then say "It's nice to meet you." Youji says this was how Ken "greeted" him, too.

In Love with the Mark: In Dramatic Precious, he falls for Reika, who turns out to be one of Weiß's targets.

Out of Focus: See here. The later installments of the series attempt to make up for it... with angst. Lots of angst.

Self-Restraint: At the end of Glühen he gets himself put into prison of his own volition, apparently via Takatori connections, in order to have "time to think." It seems to help, given that he's a lot saner in Side B.

Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: In Glühen. A sentient computer he's been sent to destroy tries to hijack his brain. It decides it doesn't want to survive that badly.
Wolverine Claws: Modified bagh nakh, retractable "tiger claws" hidden in his gloves. Very, very messy, up close and personal method of killing, and in the drama CDs, this is part of why he goes crazy.

Kyou Aguri

VA: Hideki Ogihara (JP), Wayne Grayson (EN)

Replacement Goldfish: Sena for his brother, indirectly leading to his death. A psychotic break that causes him to confuse Todo for his brother directly leads to it.

Sena Izumi (Takeru Kisaragi)

VA: Kappei Yamaguchi (JP), Tom Wayland (EN)

What the Hell, Hero?: Aya yells at him for killing Inagaki without orders. Ken yells at him for getting Kyou killed.

Kritiker

High Turnover Rate: Kritiker personnel have a pretty high mortality rate. Very few named members survive to the end of Glühen, and unnamed Kritiker agents only appear to get slaughtered by the villains.
Theme Naming: Most Kritiker agents are known by their code names. Weiß and their handlers are named for cat breeds, the Aoba Center agents are named for flowers, and Crashers and their handler are named for chess pieces.

Persia II (Shuichi Takatori)

VA: Jurota Kosugi (JP), Christopher Yates (EN)

White hunters of the night, deny these dark beasts their tomorrows.

Corruption of a Minor: He raised Omi to be an assassin after rescuing him from his kidnappers.
I Have Many Names: Each team calls him by a different code name; aside from Weiß, who know him as Persia, he is "Marigold" to the Aoba Center team and "King" to Crashers.

"Not So Different" Remark: Right before killing him, Reiji points out that the way he used Masafumi and Hirofumi is no different from the way Persia uses Weiß.

What the Hell, Hero?: You know you've screwed up when it's the villain of the piece calling you out. More exactly: "You tell me I use my sons to my advantage?! Look at the way you treat your four subordinates, you hypocrite! Specially the little guy whom you thought he was my kid... and who happens to be YOUR illegitimate son! Bye bye!"

Manx (Hanae Kitada)

Almost Dead Guy: In Dramatic Precious, after being fatally injured by La Mort, she holds on to life long enough to inform Weiß that Birman has been taken hostage and to give them their mission.

Birman

VA: Kikuko Inoue (JP)

Driven to Suicide: After she is tortured by Ayame in Dramatic Precious, when Weiß insist on trying to rescue her rather than killing her as per their orders, she shoots herself in the head rather than allow her injuries to slow down their escape.

Subordinate Excuse: Birman is in Unrequited Love with Persia III, Karasuma.

Botan

VA: Fumihiko Tachiki (JP)

Odd Name Out: The only person working with Weiß to have a flower-themed codename (it means "peony"), instead of a breed of cat.

Rex

Subordinate Excuse: Keeping the tradition alive, Rex seems to possibly have feelings for Persia IV, Mamoru Takatori.

The Watson: Persia sometimes explains his plans to her.

Persia I (Saijou Takatori)

Wife Husbandry: To Sano and Uno, two girls that he bought as children, enslaved and trained to be deadly bodyguards, used as sex toys, and was planning to have Mamoru marry one of them to ensure heirs.

Crashers

Chess Motifs - The members of Crashers are code-named for chess pieces.

Knight (Yuushi Honjou)

VA: Toshihiko Seki

Big Brother Instinct: Has his own sickly little sister, Taiyou.
The Hero: To Aya's Lancer. Or possibly The Lancer to Aya's Anti-Hero, depending on your mileage.
Vitriolic Best Buds: With Aya, mutually. Best example is when Aya asks how things are going, Knight says he's being weird, and Aya snarks back that he's not asking about Knight, he's asking about Knight's sister.
What the Hell, Hero?: In the last episode of Glühen he calls out Persia IV for apparently sacrificing Weiß.

Bishop (Reiichi Shirasagi)

The Smart Guy: He's Crashers' mission planner.

Rook (Masato Tanuma)

Cowboy Cop: Though Crashers aren't cops, he otherwise qualifies; he's put on suspension and Ran is brought in as his replacement after he gets hurt while disobeying orders during a mission.

Pawn (Naru Uhyou)

VA: Koichi Tochika

Stuff Blowing Up: Pawn is an explosives and demolitions expert.

Aoba Center

Floral Theme Naming: Their codenames are the names of flowers: Shion means Tatarian aster, Kikyou means Chinese bellflower, Tsubaki means camellia, and Kuroyuri means black lily.

Kikyou

VA: Kaneto Shiozawa

Face–Heel Turn: Kikyou's betrayal results in the eradication of Kritiker's Aoba Center team.

I Am Your Opponent: When Weiß first confronts him, he notices that Aya wields a katana and announces that he'll be his opponent.

Mad Artist: Kikyou becomes the sensei of the "Art of Death" Cult which murders women, dismembers them, and arranges their body parts as an "art form."
Paper Fan of Doom: Subverts Katanas Are Just Better by defeating Aya with a paper fan.
Spirit Advisor: To Aya via dreams. An evil Spirit Advisor who appears in Aya's nightmares to tell him how happy he is that Aya will be coming to join him in hell.

Tsubaki

Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: He hauls off and slaps Kuroyuri to keep him from rushing off to try to avenge Shion.

Kuroyuri

Red Herring: Fans who've seen Verbrechen ~ Strafe may recall that in the OAV the term kuroyuri (meaning black lily) was used as a code phrase for "lies," and thus hold suspicions about Kuroyuri when it becomes clear that someone is leaking the Aoba team's plans to their target. It's not him; in fact, Kuroyuri is about the only member of the team who has his head on straight at all.

Essett

Spell My Name With An S: Should it be Eszett, Essett, SS, or ÃŸ? Fandom may never agree.

Schwarz

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: They backstab everyone they ever work for in the series, eventually backstabbing their way out of Essett entirely.

The Power of Friendship: Bizarrely enough, this or something like it is what enables Schwarz to defeat the Rosenkreuz trio in Glühen, a point clarified by Crawford when he delivers his Breaking Speech to Berger: "That's right, we're in my head. But unlike in yours, we're not alone."

Schuldig

VA: Hikaru Midorikawa (JP), Jeff Swarthout (EN)

Hearing Voices: He complains that it gets hard to tell which thoughts are his.

Neck Snap: He kills Geisel this way in Glühen.

Farfarello (Jei)

VA: Ryūsei Nakao (JP), Rick Mann (EN)

Assassin Outclassin': Stands out as the only official target Weiß fails to kill.

The Berserker: So much it's his codename.
Evil Counterpart: To Ken, a bit more directly than the previous two: they're both lapsed Catholics who begin to enjoy killing in bloody, up-close-and-personal ways.

Faith–Heel Turn: "Jei" was a devout Catholic until he learned that he was adopted and that his biological mother was the nun who was his teacher. As an adult he claims that his desire is to kill God, and spends his spare time torturing priests to death.
Karma Houdini: Again, it bears repeating. Farfarello is singled out as one of Weiß' targets, kills Ouka, almost kills Tot and arguably gets the happiest ending in the series.

Nagi Naoe

VA: Nozomu Sasaki (JP), Chris Fuller (EN)

I Was Just Passing Through: He saves Aya from being shot by Shimojima in Glühen, but informs Weiß he isn't there to help them.

Schreient

All There in the Manual: All That Weiß touches on their backstories.
And Your Little Dog, Too!: They try to use Aya-chan to get back at Aya for killing Masafumi. It doesn't work out very well for them.

Distaff Counterpart: To Weiß & Schwarz. Lampshaded by Nagi, when he points out that they're Masafumi's attempt to copy Schwarz.
Four-Girl Ensemble: Hel is the smart, serious leader, Schoen is the pretty, vain one, Neu is the tough one, and Tot is the perky, childish one.
Mind Control: According to All That Weiß, Hel is the only one not under mind control.
The Psycho Rangers: Albeit not as direct a parallel to Weiß as the other examples, beyond being a team of four assassins.

Hel (Chizuru Aoi)

VA: Masako Katsuki (JP), Carolyn Baumler (EN)

Meaningful Name: "Hel" is German for "bright."

Schoen (Karen Kitaura)

VA: Miki Itō (JP)

Meaningful Name: German for "beauty." She's a failed model.
Minor Injury Overreaction: Schoen flips out when Ken cuts her face and leaves a minor scar.

Neu (Asuka Murase)

VA: Kotono Mitsuishi (JP)

Criminal Amnesiac: Guidebooks reveal that Neu is really an amnesiac Asuka, Youji's old partner/girlfriend. She was captured by Liott, drugged, broken down, and forced into prostitution until being sold as a guinea pig to Masafumi Takatori. The amnesia was probably a relief.

Tot (Nanami Kyouno)

VA: Yuko Mizutani (JP), Rachael Lillis (EN)

Abusive Parents: She says that her father was a "bad, bad man" towards her. She never says how bad he was, though.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Okay. Tot comes back from the dead, presumably from Nagi's powers. Then she gets a five-second cameo in the final episode of Kapitel. So, um, what happened to her relationship with Nagi...?

Takatori Family

A Big, Screwed-Up Family.

Reiji Takatori

VA: Norio Wakamoto (JP)

Abusive Parents: Subverted with Omi, as he really is his Evil Uncle.

Chekhov's Gun: That big shadowy thing in the extreme foreground of certain shots in his office? It's a katana. He knows how to use it. Very well.

Parental Favoritism: Ouka is clearly his favorite child.
Pet the Dog: His only redeeming quality is his genuine affection for his illegitimate daughter Ouka Sakaki.

You Can Keep Him: When his young son Mamoru was kidnapped, he refused to pay the ransom and abandoned the boy to his kidnappers out of spite over the fact that Mamoru was actually the product of his wife's affair with his brother Shuichi, aka Persia.

Hirofumi Takatori

Used to Be a Sweet Kid: As a teenager, he seemed to be quite a nice older brother to Mamoru... but after the kidnapping deal, Hirofumi grew into an asshole.

Kikuno Takatori

Reiji's deceased wife, matriarch of the family.

Driven to Suicide: After Reiji refused to pay the ransom for the kidnapped Mamoru, poor Kikuno lost the will to live and killed herself.
Posthumous Character: Having died before the story started, Kikuno only appears in flashbacks.
Star-Crossed Lovers: With the boyfriend she had before having to marry Reiji (his younger brother Shuichi).

Koua Academy

Mayumi Tsujii

VA: Atsuko Tanaka (JP)

Playing with Syringes: Less crazed than many scientists in the series, but no less unscrupulous.

Sagiri and Suika

Big Brother Instinct: Sagiri furiously attacks Aya for hurting Suika, begs Tsujii to save her even if it means dying himself, and dies to allow Suika to escape. It's a recurring motif.

Shared Unusual Trait: They each have one brown eye and one blue one.

Rosenkreuz

Berger

VA: Katsuyuki Konishi (JP)

Mind Control: He causes Ken, Sena, and Omi to see illusions, drags Crawford into a Battle in the Center of the Mind, and...

La Mort

Face–Heel Turn: They were Kritiker's second Weiß team. Then they went crazy.
Floral Theme Naming: Shion refers to the Tatarian aster; Azami refers to the thistle flower; Ayame means iris; Rindou refers to the Japanese gentian.
Flower Motifs: Aside from the Theme Naming: Shion's initial appearances involve ikebana, traditional Japanese flower arranging; he also goes to the flower shop where Aya's sister works and buys expensive orchids (a play on Aya's given name). Omi's last message to his teammates, notifying them that he's killed Rindou, reads "The gentian ["rindou"] has been plucked."

He Who Fights Monsters: Dramatic Precious indicates that their generally Ax-Crazy conditions are the ultimate destination of the slippery slope that the present members of Weiß are currently on.

Azami

Affably Evil: On his off time, Azami comes across as a pleasant fellow and gets along rather well with Yoji until the truth comes out.

Musical Assassin: With a violin as his weapon.

Kryptonbrand

Nana Mihirogi

Seven Is Nana: As their handler, she's Side B's seventh member.

Two Girls to a Team: With Kurumi to Side B

Kryptonbrand - Side B

Four Is Death: Notable aversion; after the many repetitions of the trope in previous installments of the series, Kryptonbrand is a three-man team prior to the additions of Ken, Aya, and Yuki, and a six-man team thereafter. This may be why Kryptonbrand is ever so slightly less screwed up than Weiss.
Multinational Team: Ken & Aya = Japanese; Yuki = Japanese-American; Michel = Irish, raised in England; Chloe = born in Romania; Free = born in Liechtenstein.

Yuki

Badass and Child Duo: The child to Aya's badass.
But Not Too Foreign: Yuki, the first of his new teammates that Aya meets after leaving Japan, is Japanese-American.
Kid with the Leash: Of sorts. In order to allow Yuki to keep the promise he made to Alison never to kill, Aya kills for him.

Stoic Spectacles: A head injury he suffers during the fighting between Orphan and Blue Eyes causes him to need glasses; coincidentally, Akagawa's betrayal and Alison's death during the same arc leaves him with an unusually stoic attitude for his age.

Free

Warrior Poet: Well, a lot of them are a bit like this, but Free with his tarot cards is a particularly notable example.

Side Characters

Aya-chan Fujimiya

VA: Yui Horie (JP), Rachael Lillis (EN)

Big Eater / Sweet Tooth: Implied in a couple scenes, she certainly likes a great variety of foods, and one of radio dramas reveals she wanted to open a bakery when she grew up.

Hidden Eyes: In the last episode of Glühen and a brief shot of her in Side B. Her only other post-Kapitel appearance is in Dramatic Precious, which is a Radio Drama.

Ouka Sakaki

Brother–Sister Incest: Played with. She's believed to be Omi's half sister due to him being Mamoru, the youngest son of Reiji Takatori, who is also Ouka's dad. But wait, there's more! Since Mamoru was actually the son of Reiji's wife Kikuno and Reiji's brother, they're actually Kissing Cousins instead. Or were, considering that Ouka ends up kicking it. Oh wow, what a mess.

Ojou: Played with a little. Her classmates consider her rich and snobby, but she's much louder and more forceful than the typical Ojou. Turns out she's a rich politician's illegitimate daughter and her forcefulness is a result of feeling neglected by him when she was younger.
Ojou Ringlets: Smaller, face-framing ones.

Recurring Character: Pops up in several episodes, hanging around the flower shop and being much more articulate and forward than the usual gaggle of fangirls.

Wax Museum Morgue: So according to "Tearless Dolls"... after her death, Ouka's lifeless body was pretty much turned into a mannequin and put in display in one of these? By others of the grieving, apparently maddened Reiji? What The HELL?!

Sakura Tomoe

VA: Hiroko Kasahara (JP)

All Love Is Unrequited: She falls in love with Aya, although he doesn't seem to consider her as any more than a friend/surrogate little sister.
Bedsheet Ladder: She does this to escape from Schwarz's confinement to hide Aya-chan in a closet for Weiß to find.

Expository Hairstyle Change / Important Haircut: She grows her hair long in the vague hope that it will appeal to Aya by increasing her resemblance to his sister. At the closing of Kapitel, however, she has it cut short again.

Naked on Arrival: Sakura was introduced in episode 6, waking up covered only in Modesty Bedsheet in a middle of an ice rink after an organ trafficking ring kidnapped her, undressed her and removed her kidney.
Passionate Sports Girl: She's a rather decent athlete.

Replacement Goldfish: To Aya for his sister, temporarily.
Rescue Romance: She falls for Aya at least in part because he keeps rescuing her, although he doesn't return her feelings.
Twin Switch: Takes advantage of her resemblance to Aya's sister by stashing Aya-chan in a closet and taking her place when she's in danger. Schuldig is not amused when he finds out they've been screwed, but it doesn't stop him from using her to do it again to the Esszet elders.

Asuka Murase
