Freezing/Characters
Protagonists
Kazuya Aoi
Voiced by: Mitsuhiro Ichiki (JP), Josh Grelle (EN)
Kazuya enrolled in the "Academy for Extradimensional Affairs and Genetics" to support the Pandoras in their cause, bound by the dying wish of his older sister Kazuha, a Pandora who passed away at the end of a fierce battle four years ago. After he learns the rumors about Satellizer's treatment of those who touch her, he cannot believe it and ignores the warnings of others to apologize to her for causing her first loss.
- Barrier Warrior
- Beware the Nice Ones
- Determinator
- Fluffy Tamer
- Forgot About His Powers/Power Incontinence: Because he cannot use his abilities on demand (and usually only manages to do it once the situation has escalated to maximum danger levels), he tends to get beaten up or put into tight situations that judicious use of his Freezing ability could solve immediately.
- Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Slaps Ingrid in the face when she starts ranting about why rules and regulations must be followed.
- Honor Before Reason
- New Transfer Student
- Nice Guy
- Only Trustworthy Male: How Satellizer comes to view him, as he's the first guy who is allowed to get anywhere near her without getting his ass kicked because she truly believes he wouldn't try to hurt her. Thankfully for her, she's right.
- Strong Family Resemblance: To his grandfather when he was younger.
- This trope also was why he was initially attracted to Satellizer, since she resembled his big sister.
- Supporting Protagonist: Despite being considered the main character, Satellizer gets the main focus and development of the story as The Heroine.
- Useless Protagonist: Zig-zagged. Due in part to his Power Incontinence, he doesn't do a lot to actively change the flow of a fight at first, but if he can manage to get a Freezing field active, he can play a competent support role for as long as he can hold out.
Satellizer el Bridget
The Heartless Witch/The Untouchable Queen
Voiced by: Mamiko Noto (JP), Caitlin Glass (EN)
Satellizer is a Sophomore Pandora-in-training whom is known as the strongest in the Sophomore year at the school Kazuya has recently transferred to. She was undefeated in the academy's carnival battles until Kazuya surprised her with a tear filled hug. She is referred to by the other students as The Heartless Witch and The Untouchable Queen, due to her anti social behavior and her reaction to being touched. Rumour has it that Satellizer has killed over 20 Pandora and Limiters who dared touch her, and that she does not have a Limiter because of her cruel treatment of them. Because of this, she seen as a violent psychopath and her fellow students are absolutely terrified of her. Her volt weapon is a blade-like weapon.
- The Ace: Deconstructed—Her ridiculous skills and rapid growth are seen as something monstrous, making the other Pandoras both envious and terrified of her.
- Broken Ace: Due to an actually legitimate Freudian Excuse.
- Berserk Button: Being touched or threatening Kazuya Aoi; god help you if you do both. Once she is able to put her past with Louis to rest, she becomes significantly more OK with being touched, though she's still embarrassed by it.
- Big Breasts, Big Deal: Both Type 1 and Type 5.
- Blue Blood: An illegitimate daughter of the prominent Bridget family.

- Can't Get Away with Nuthin': At least in the anime at first.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Though she so very wants to.
- Character Development: After making peace with her brother and forgiving him, she no longer reacts to human contact with homicidal-violence; rather, she becomes an absolutely adorable Shrinking Violet who feels embarrasment rather than rage at being touched.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Rather understandable, since Kazuya is the first person in Genetics who's actually nice to her.
- Cry Cute: Oh, she is Cry Adorable.
- Dark and Troubled Past
- Determinator: One of her defining traits. Her refusal to lose makes her a very tough opponent to fight against. This even extends to eating contests and drinking contests. Not losing is Serious Business for Satellizer.
- Emotionless Girl: When she's fighting.
- Exotic Weapon Supremacy: Nova Blood looks like a giant razor.
- Expy: Satellizer bears a striking resemblance to |Tomoyo Sakagami, who also wears glasses on occasion. Also her nickname as "The Untouchable Queen", and Tomoyo herself was untouchable when it came to fighting. Not to mention having one of the largest breast sizes amongst their peers.[1]
- Flash Back: How her Dark and Troubled Past is revealed.

- Shonen Upgrade: Every time her Determinator aspect kicks in so does this, making her one hell of an opponent. Her enemies at school are a little slow to realize that she keeps upgrading in power every time they try to "teach her a lesson" by beating her up.
- Shrinking Violet: Sometimes becomes this when she's alone with Kazuya.
- Shrouded in Myth
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man
- Single-Target Sexuality: Is very Kazuya-sexual.

Lana Linchen
Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa (JP), Jamie Marchi (EN)

- Bare-Fisted Monk

- There Was a Door
- Verbal Tic: Lana ends her sentences with "de arimasu," like many Chinese people in Japanese works.
- Call a Rabbit a Smeerp: She also calls spirit/heart/mood "kunlun," almost to the point of Smurfing in some translations. She also refers to her Stigmata as "Tears of Kunlun." This goes away pretty quickly, though.

3rd Year Students
Chiffon Fairchild
The Unmatched Smiling Monster
Rank: 1st Volt Weapon: Anti-Nova Trial Version Limiter: Eugene Weakspot: Collarbone
Voiced by: Marina Inoue (JP)
Kazuya's sempai and the pretty student body president of the Genetics academy. She was giving Kazuya a tour around the academy when they witness the confrontation between Satellizer and Ganessa. Chiffon is the first to warn Kazuya about how dangerous Satellizer is and attempts to dissuade him from approaching her for the sake of his own safety. She often seen with Ticy, the vice president. Despite her timid, polite demeanor, her position as president puts her at the top of the school rankings, being the best student in the third-year class. It's later revealed that she's the also the strongest Pandora of her generation, the only "Type Maria", and she is forced to bring that power to bear when Amelia Evans goes berserk, turns into a Nova form, and nearly wipes out the E-Pandora facility. Chiffon succeeds in stopping Amelia from self-destructing and killing all of the people present, but at the cost of her own life.
- The Ace
- Broken Ace: Hinted at. Her conversation with Amelia indicates that she is fully aware of how cruel people can be to each other in pursuit of some loftier goal, and she displays a disturbing amount of cruelty when her hackles are raised and she's willing to use extreme force.
- Action Girl Technically a God Mode Sue.
- Authority Equals Asskicking
- Ax Crazy: Beneath that sweet smile and cute demeanor is a savage monster. During her first year, she went wild at the Carnival, gleefully thinking how she didn't have to hold back and could fight and kill as much as she wanted. Ticy really saved her.
- Badass Adorable
- Badass Long Hair: At first, but by the time she's become Student Council President, it's been cut short.
- Badass Nickname/Red Baron: "The Matchless Smiling Monster" and a number of other variants ("Monster", "The Monster of West Genetics", etc).
- Berserk Button/Tranquil Fury: Do not harm her friends. She cares for them very deeply. Or turn against the Chevalier.
- Beware the Nice Ones
- Beware the Silly Ones
- Blood Knight
- Bob Haircut
- Breakout Character: Stars in the spin-off Freezing: First Chronicle, which details a short part of her freshman year at West Genetics.
- Bullying a Dragon: A dragon can be friendly. Pissing it off still isn't a bright idea.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: While she does act goofy and cowardly at times, Chiffon is not to be trifled with when she decides to be serious. Her Badass credentials are supported by the fact that she's ranked first out of all the 3rd year students, and it's later stated she is actually the strongest out of the entire current generation of Pandoras. She is also the only Type-Maria Pandora amongst all of the Pandora, and has the power to match.
- Dissonant Serenity: With a nickname like "The Unmatched Smiling Monster", it's a given.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: A master of it. In chapter 57, she asked why people always call her "Monster" when she's "not that ugly", and generally projects an air of mild-mannered meekness or obliviousness.
- One Woman Army: In her freshman fall Carnival, she defeated fifty Pandora without even getting hurt, earning 35,000 points total.
- The Cynic: Her sweet and kind exterior is just that: an exterior. She has no romantic notions whatsover about how the world works, and is more than willing to throw all morality and compassion to the winds for the greater-good of protecting humanity as a whole. Even the seemingly cold and aloof Elizabeth Mably has a stronger connection to her humanity than Chiffon does.
- Knight in Sour Armor: In the end, she's able to reconnect with her humanity. Both by pleading with Amelia and sacrificing herself to protect Satellizer and the others
- Depraved Bisexual: In the First Chronicles spin off, she comes off this way when she gets rather aggressive with Ticy, though apparently she didn't mind once she got over Chiffon's initial Skinship Grope.
- Expecting Someone Meaner
- Eyes Always Shut: And when they crack open even a little, run. In Chapter 86, she opens them all the way to face a new form of Nova--revealing they're 'Type Maria' eyes.
- Except for the one OVA where they open long enough just so she can start laughing her ass off.
- Flash Step: Invented her own Accel skill, the Mirage Turn.
- Genki Girl: Her usual personality in her freshman year. She cools down later on, but still has shades of it.
- Heroic Sacrifice
- Go Out with a Smile
- Messianic Archetype: At the very end.
- Redemption Equals Death
- Joshikousei
- Made of Adamantium: In the First Chronicle Spin-off, took a direct hit to the gut from a Class A Pandora's Volt weapon. Didn't even flinch.
- Ms. Exposition
- My World Government, Right Or Wrong: She firmly holds the belief that Pandoras are soldiers who should fulfill their duties as ordered, even the E-Pandoras who would die from a political game where they forced them to take a drug they knew would more than likely fail.
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: "The Unmatched Smiling Monster", though due to her gentle personality some people tend to forget she really can become one.
- The name of her weapon is Anti-Nova Trial Version.
- Nice Girl: Until she's pushed too far, in which case the nice just goes and dies in a corner.
- Politeness Judo: She has a black belt. 10th dan.
- Psychotic Smirk: When her berserk buttons are pressed, it comes out.
- Reasonable Authority Figure
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Her red to Elizabeth's blue.
- Sempai-Kohai: Chiffon takes this relationship very seriously. Even when opposing the rebellion she makes an effort to protect Satellizer and company. Then she starts ripping arms off.
- Serial Escalation: In her first Carnival, where how well one does determines one's rank in class, she scored 35,000. After a few Carnivals passed, Elizabeth was the next closest with 6,300.
- Shrouded in Myth
- Sleepyhead: She is always sleeping since she heard it is good for your skin, and enrolled late at Genetics because she overslept.
- Spell My Name with an "S": Scanlators originally spelled her name as "Shiffon", but according to Word of God it's spelled "Chiffon" after her favorite food (chiffon cake).
- Student Council President: By virtue of being the strongest Third Year, the title is hers.
- Super Prototype: It's hinted she's this, considering she has Type-Maria eyes. She also calls herself "a true Pandora".
- The Shadow Knows: Her shadow in the Closing Credits quite accurately reflects her Badass Nickname.
- To Be Lawful or Good: As seen in the E-Pandora incident, she picks Lawful.
- Trademark Favorite Food: To the point of being named after it.
- Sweet Tooth: Her favorite food is a type of cake.
- Villain Protagonist: Narrowly avoided. She adamantly chose to follow orders to the ignorance of any moral implications from the Chevalier's actions, but did die to save the rest of the Pandora.
- Wolverine Claws: Her volt weapon, seen here in its full glory.
- Zettai Ryouiki
Elizabeth Mably
The Academy Reigning Fixer
Rank: 2nd Volt Weapon: Stigma Satellite System Limiter: Andre Weakspot: Back of the neck]]
Voiced by: Yuko Kaida (JP), Abigail Hartman (EN)
The second-ranked strongest third-year student from the United Kingdom. Elizabeth is the leader of the third-years who maintain the Academy's hierarchy and punish those who break them. When she hears news of Miyabi's defeat at the hands of Satellizer early in the series, she orders Attia to take care of the matter, but was stopped by Chiffon who orders her to stop targeting Satellizer. She initially refuses to let go of the grudge, but ultimately abandons it after Satellizer helped them defeat the Nova Forms during their attack at West Genetics. Among other interests, her family also runs a cosmetics firm and a winery; a running gag has her offer items to other Pandoras at a corporate discount. She is also the past winner of the Pandora Queen beauty contest in the anime. Elizabeth, despite her seriousness, is one one of the most noble characters in the series as she cares about her fellow Pandoras and hates the injustices committed against them. However, her desire to do the right thing would nearly cost her life and her family's reputation after she tried to exposes the truth of the E-Pandora program. She survives both the electric torture she's put through and a brutal fight with Charles Bonaparte, but once the 11th Clash ends, she temporarily retires as a Pandora alongside her limiter, Andre.
- The Ace: While the other Pandora's could barely stay alive against the Nova-possessed Pandoras, Elizabeth had very little trouble dealing with them.
- Attack Drone: Her volt weapon, Stigma Satellite System, is basically two of these.
- Deflector Shield: She doesn't even need a Limiter, really.
- Expy: The pair [dead link] look suspiciously similar to Ramiel from Neon Genesis Evangelion, especially [dead link] its incarnation in Rebuild.
- Frickin' Laser Beams: Her volt weapon's primary function.
- Roboteching: She can fire curved lasers, but their accuracy is low without a targeting system to back her up.
- Superpower Lottery: Every other Pandora gets a melee weapon. Elizabeth gets two frickin' Attack Drones.
- Break the Cutie: In retaliation for her choosing Good in the To Be Lawful or Good, the E-Pandora executives torture her and use their influence to destroy her family's reputation and corporation.
- Determinator: Chooses to go aid the E-Pandoras despite suffering nerve damage from Electric Torture.
- Faux Action Girl Is shown to win only two fights in the whole series she appears in. Another was a draw. Though being Overshadowed by Awesome tends to do that.
- Good Old Fisticuffs: During the E-Project arc, Elizabeth beats down Amelia Evans with her bare hands and a few kicks.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite initial evidence to the contrary, she is actually a kind and compassionate person, though she hides it very well.
- Spoiled Sweet: She has no problem using her "employee" discount to get her family's luxury cosmetics for other Pandoras. One side story taking place when she's a freshman even has her offer them to two seniors she'd literally just met.
- Hair of Gold
- Lady of War: Even more so than Satellizer.
- Ojou
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
- Pet the Dog: Eating with the E-Pandoras and making it clear that she considers them to be nothing less than fellow warriors. This attitude, and her justification for it, earn her Amelia's respect.
- Rapunzel Hair
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Nowhere near Chiffon initially, but she does call the dogs off of Satellizer and publicly praises her for saving Cassie's life. Later, upon realizing the Seniors have acquired a reputation as blood thirsty, Lawful Stupid Knight Templars she works to try and rehabilitate their image with what is quite possibly the most hilarious soccer game ever committed to print.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Blue to Chiffon's red.
- Shut UP, Hannibal: Charles asks her if she's happy about Andre's decision to push his Freezing and cause stigma corruption that nearly kills him. Her answer: "Of course not, bitch!!"
- To Be Lawful or Good: Upon realizing how the E-Pandora are being sacrificed in a political game she chooses to be good and risk being charged with treason to tell her father so he could call out for an investigation of the E-Pandora project.
- Took a Level In Kindness: And paid for it with her physical health, her family's reputation, and, quite possibly, her Limiter's eyesight.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Slaps Chiffon and calls her out for choosing to follow the Chevalier instead of helping the victims of the Mark IV experiments.
- Worf Had the Flu: The electric torture that the Chevalier put her through damaged her nerve endings, making it harder for her to use her Attack Drones at their full potential in her fight against Bonaparte.

The Hitman
Rank: 3rd initially, becomes 1st after the 11th Nova Clash
Volt Weapon: A large sword (unknown)
Limiter: Abel
Weakspot: Neck
Voiced by: Aya Uchida (JP)
Ticy is the third-ranked strongest third-year student. She hails from Finland and acts as Chiffon's assistant in the position of Student Council Vice-President. After Chiffon's death in the 11th Nova Clash, Ticy becomes ruthlessly focused on becoming the student council president in her memory.
- Accidental Hero: During her second Carnival, when Chiffon took out 50 freshman Pandora's, Ticy was the only one to damage Chiffon and by just talking to her and pleading with her that her smiling self is her true self, not this Ax Crazy girl, did Chiffon stop and collapse in Ticy's arms. It was declared Ticy won against her and became the 3rd rank Pandora of her class.
- Badass Nickname/Names to Run Away From Really Fast: "The Hitman".
- BFS
- Because You Were Nice to Me: Chiffon was the only student to treat her nicely after the first Carnival. See The Bodyguard and Took a Level in Badass to see what Chiffon's kindness drove her to be.

- Extreme Doormat: She was treated like crap before Chiffon arrived became her friend.
- Hot Chick with a Sword

- Taking Up the Mantle: She puts herself forward as a nominee for Student Council President in order to take up Chiffon's legacy.
- Tareme Eyes: before Chiffon's death.
- Tsurime Eyes: after Chiffon dies, as a part of her stoic mask. Couples with Dull Eyes of Unhappiness and never smiling, making it look like she's emotionally dead inside.
- Took a Level in Badass: At first she was known as "zero points", and was constantly bullied. By the time of one of her sophomore Carnivals, she holds 3rd rank at 2,200 points.
- After the 11th Nova Clash, she defeats Arnett in a Curb Stomp Battle to determine which one of them will become the next president of the Student Council.
- Worthy Opponent: To Arnett, who regards her in this light after the election battle.
- And Your Little Dog, Too: Her beloved pet turtle, Tii, was held hostage by some Alpha Bitches until Ticy got some lewd photos of Chiffon. Sadly, they were too prideful to read the care instructions and ended up killing Tii.

Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu (JP), Brittney Karbowski (EN)
The seventh-ranked strongest third-year student from Germany. Her strong determination to punish those who break the Academy's rules stems from an incident that happened during her second year at the Academy where Marin Maxwell, a friend of hers, sacrificed herself to defeat a Nova. Believing that the disorder of the lower ranks was the cause for Marin's death, she will use all of her power to ensure that order in the Academy will be kept.

Ganessa Roland
Angel of Confinement
Voiced by: Eri Kitamura (JP), Luci Christian (EN)
One of the many rivals for Satellizer, this second year Pandora took advantage of her momentary distraction by Kazuya to defeat Satellizer in carnival. Very competitive and hot headed, the victory over Satellizer earns her Rank SS, which she wastes no time in bragging to Satellizer about. Her bolstered ego leads to a confrontation with Satellizer in which she is provoked far enough to enable Pandora mode. Her Limiter is Kazuya's classmate Arthur, whom she is apparently quite fond of. Her volt weapon appears to be a number of flail-like chains.

The physics teacher and training instructor at the Genetics academy. She is also one of the numbers, the four who helped bring an end to the 8th Nova class four years previously.

Her volt weapon is a spear.

Violet el Bridget
Voiced by: Ai Kayano (JP)
- Adults Are Useless: She did slap and scold Louis when she found out about his horrendous abuse of Satellizer, but years later she unwittingly sets up a situation that allows him to do it again, saying that she should treat it like a phase. She was attempting to get him to let it go, but things don't turn out nearly as simple as she would have liked them to.
- Blue Blood

- The Cavalry: He travels with the other Pandoras and Limiters to investigate Elizabeth's claims and help the Rebellion.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: For most of his first appearance, but calms down once Satellizer fishes him out of the ocean after Holly tries to kill both him and herself.
- Domestic Abuser: Of his own half-sister, no less.
- Easily Forgiven/Thicker Than Water: Satellizer is willing to forgive, if not forget, all of the terrible things he has done to her after saving his life from Holly's failed double suicide gambit because of the fact that he is her brother--for better or worse.

- He-Man Woman Hater

- Villainous BSOD: Goes into this when Satellizer refuses to sleep with him. His response is to rape Holly instead.
- Villainous Crush: When he first met Satellizer, he resented her because she was a Heroic Bastard who he didn't accept as a family member, and initially his molestation of her was him venting his hatred and desire for her to know her place. Somewhere down the line it mutated into a case of hatred crossed with lust.
- Villainous Incest: It's never explicitly said that he indulged in this when he was younger, though it's suggested that he molested Satellizer to some degree, and he definitely physically abused her, but his intense and very disturbing fixation on her is a clear invocation of the trope.

Other Pandora
Kazuha Aoi
Voiced by: Mamiko Noto (JP), Catherine DuBord (EN)
The most powerful Pandora of the 8th Nova Clash, the creator of the High End Skills, and Kazuya's older sister. She is said to have sacrificed herself at the Nova Clash to save her friends. Kazuha was special as much of her body was composed of Stigmata tissue, which allowed 20 Stigmata to be inserted into her body, but she was consumed by them and was in the process of turning into a Nova Form before her death. Because of this, the higher-ups started limiting the number of Stigmata a Pandora can have. Six of her Stigmata (known as the "Hero's Stigmata" according to Louis) have been inherited by Satellizer, three by Cassie, two by Charles, two by Julia, and one by Roxanne.
