From the "real" universe

Takiko Okuda / Genbu no Miko

Voiced by: Satsuki Yukino (Japanese, CD Drama, Game)

Action Girl (Unlike the other Mikos, Takiko was trained in self-defense in the real world. She's a naginata user, and gets one for her personal use in the Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho)
All of the Other Reindeer (Doesn't fit in with the other girls at school, in part because she's the New Kid.)
Defiled Forever: Takiko climbs into bed topless with the girl she found, hoping to absorb her fever and bring it down. However, as Uruki, this girl does not stay a girl, and Takiko freaks out, saying how she'd never be able to marry.
Did I Just Say That Out Loud?: (She falls into this blunder sometimes.)
Greater Need Than Mine
Hair Decorations
Acceptable Feminine Goals: Takiko's governess never fails to remind her of this, and constantly nags her to act like a lady, or she'll never get any suitors.
- Also, Takiko's mother insists they keep her illness a secret, lest it turn potential suitors away from her daughter.
Heroic Self-Deprecation (Deconstructed: it's useful at times, but Takiko's low self-esteem is part of the reason Genbu consumes her soul.
Ill Girl (Takiko already had tuberculosis (like her Missing Mom))
Incurable Cough of Death
Lonely Rich Kid
Oblivious to Love: Towards Tomite.
Parental Abandonment Her father is always on trips, and doing research, which turns out to be an attempt to save his wife, who is dying of tuberculosis.
Precocious Crush (Her first love was a much older married man (Takao Ohsugi, Suzuno's father) She gets over it, though, and falls for Uruki)
Plucky Girl
Rags to Royalty
Virgin Soul Sacrifice (When she summons Genbu, he will [attempt to] 'absorb' her, or consume her soul. )
Tragic Hero
Yamato Nadeshiko: Look at her page image, then look at the trope list and see that she has a plucky personality and a naginata

Einosuke Okuda

Voiced by: Tohru Ookawa (Japanese, CD Drama)

Offing the Offspring (According to Fushigi Yuugi, he will mercy kill the dying Takiko. However, this may be Ret Conned )
Parents as People (He is pretty cold to his Ill Girl wife and his Hot-Blooded daughter. He eventually does admit he was wrong, apologize to Takiko and tell her that it was because he wanted to use the Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho to heal Mrs. Okuda)

Yoshie Okuda

Incurable Cough of Death: Died of lung tuberculosis.
Missing Mom: Takiko's deceased mother.
Yamato Nadeshiko: Just like her daughter.

Nice Guy
Precocious Crush. (Takiko's feelings for him.)

Genbu Warriors

Uruki

Hikitsu

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (Japanese, CD Drama, Game, Fushigi Yuugi TV series)

Badass Long White-Haired Pretty Boy: Unlike Uruki and Urumiya, his hairstyle was made for the mere sake of flashing sparkles. (And yes, to keep himself warm too.)
Berserk Button: never . Ever . EVER bring up questions and/or topics to make him freely define and praise his sister, otherwise you'll be the victim of his unstoppable Motor Mouth.
Big Brother Instinct: Plays this role on all of the younger teammates, but he's the major one to Tomite and sister Aila .
Blood Brothers: with Tomite.
Chef of Iron (Revealed this hidden talent in an official bonus interview, a Type-1, and he's even proud of it too!)
Dead Little Sister: (Not quite)
Elemental Powers:
- An Ice Person: He only reveals this ability to the Suzaku Team when they met him.
- Make a GREAT Splash and Kill You With Water: (Real power No.1.)
Everything's Precious With Wolves: ( Awwww~ He was found with one~ )
- He befriends a whole bunch of them quite easily, I wonder how.
- Also serves as an indicator of what his personality is like.
Eyepatch of Power (Subverted as an Eyepatch of Anti-Power.)
Mind Rape: Real power No.2. This is Hikitsu's most Powerful ability, but is also his Power Incontinence in which one accidental occasion sends Takiko back to the real world. In a premium drama, revealed the extra ability of Mind Reading if he uses his right eye to look at a person who's not looking at him. For the sake of others and himself, he uses an eyepatch to keep it under control.)
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: Even better, his eye ability was taken Up to Eleven when it's revealed that he can see through lifeless objects to obtain the object's history, and its owner's backgrounds as well. Through this method, he can understand people's entire historical background without them even aware of it, and has achieved a surprising Caught on Tape moment for the story plot to forward on.
- To sum it up, he's basically a Supernatural Surround-Dimension Retina-Display in High Definition.
Minored in Asskicking: Totally minored if you realized he's actually the 3rd strongest in line (most powerful being the Urumiya Bros....ouch.) He just prefers to lay back and babysit for the most part.
Straight Man and Wise Guy: The stunning Wise Guy with a surprising Boke twist to Tomite.
Sugar and Ice Personality (Normally a Stoic Woobie, but once you knew him you'll notice that he's a soft cookie baked in an oven.)
Team Mom: He buys horses, he buys weapons, he manages money, he calmly solves teammates' disputes, all in the story's spare time. And By Genbu, he makes bento boxes, bakes chocolate cookies , and offers to comb his sister's hair in his sleep talk too! With so much in contribution, Takiko pasted this badge right on his face!
The Smart Guy

Tomite

Voiced by: Tetsuya Iwanaga (Japanese, CD Drama, Game, Fushigi Yuugi TV series)

Big Brother Bully: On Hatsui for the fun of it.

Defrosting Ice Queen
Elemental Powers: the smoke from her BFP.
Hooker with a Heart of Gold (Was a brother madam like her mentor and savior, Shunu)
Team Dad: Known for grounding her not-even-half-her-age teammates the firm way, and plus, Hikitsu's the officially deemed Mom, there's no need for her to be motherly at all!

Urumiya

Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu [ Hagas ] (Japanese, CD Drama)

Climax Boss (Just how many of us readers have been waiting for YEARS just dying to see how Takiko is gonna get them into the team?)
Sibling Yin-Yang / Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling : Older bro Tegu is responsible, calm, thoughtful, and friendly, while younger bro Hagas is the foolish one, and reacts to issues in an extreme matter.
Someone Has to Die: In order to fully combine the power of "Urumiya" as a whole, this move has to be done between the brothers themselves. You'll be surprised.
Strong as They Need to Be / Purposefully Overpowered / Game Breaker: There's no other celestial warriors around the world at the time, the almighty Kutou Kingdom means NOTHING compare to the 1st generation superpower warriors, so Watase pulled out this card.
That One Boss: In-universe; the Urumiya Combo is very . hard . to . breakthrough.

- Urumiya Hagas)
- Achilles in His Tent / Refusal of the Call (Is the only Senshi who refuses to join Takiko all the way through due to the fact that he can't fight his fate. )
- Badass Long Hair
- Mega Manning / All Your Powers Combined: His power, and he's got Uruki and Tomite's abilities already. ( But it's even scarier to know that he doesn't need to defeat anybody to obtain all of the other seishis powers if he actually wants to.)
- Self-Sacrifice Scheme: As the twin who bares half of the power of Urumiya, the physically weaker in health due to his uncurable Soap Opera Disease, and fully understands that his older brother, Tegu has the more responsible and willing personality to uphold the celestial fate, Hagas has been preparing for his own death in order to transfer the full Urumiya resposibility to Tegu to have him support the Genbu Team for a long time, and eventually Hagas fullfilled it.
- The Archer
- The Stoic
- Weaksauce Weakness: His eyes are going blind...

- Urumiya ( Tegu)
- Angsty Surviving Twin ( Alas, the twin to take up the full "Urumiya" name has been designated...)
- Big Brother Instinct (He's the older brother, and the first of the twins to have his powers awakened.)
- Captain Oblivious (he's chained in an unknown cave and was ordered to use his powers whenever he "detects any kind of evading threat." This made himself unaware that him hurting the seishis is delaying the mission to save him.)
- Dude in Distress
- Not Growing Up Sucks ( Not anymore, is officially the Backup Twin)
- Power Nullifier: I WILL SING all of you superpower invaders down to NORRRMAAAALLLL!!!!
