Mahou Sensei Negima/Characters/Magic World
That's right, Mahou Sensei Negima is so overstuffed that it broke the folder system. Again. And it's still growing. So we decided to split the page. Again. This page is for the politicians, Ariadne girls and other residents of the Magic World. Time to pick up some dessert. We're almost done.
This page is full of spoilers, naturally. You have been warned.
Kurt Godel
Governor-general of Ostia. He introduced himself to Negi by taunting him about his mother Arika, and starting a fight in the streets. He apparently knows a lot about Negi's parents, as well as info concerning what happened during the war, including some things that even Jack Rakan admits to not knowing. He is an expert at Shinmeiryu swordplay, being Eishun's apprentice, as well as being something of a genius.
- All Love Is Unrequited: Has been in love with Arika ever since he was a kid, according to Nodoka's artifact.
- Badass: He really doesn't look it, but holy crap.
- Badass in a Nice Suit
- Becoming the Mask: He was unambiguously heroic 20 years ago. In the meantime, he infiltrated the corrupt senate, to find out more about and stop their villainy... but took on many more villainous characteristics, such as being a Smug Snake and exhibiting Fantastic Racism to an incredible degree.
- Bishounen
- Crack Pairing: In-Universe in a manner of speaking: The finale suggest that he eventually gets married to Satomi Hakase, of all people. They never even met in the manga, though a note written on the class roster in chapter 351 suggests that Negi was planning to contact Kurt about Satomi after scouting her for his plan. He seems to have inadvertently played matchmaker.
- Evil Chancellor: Subverted. He certainly acts villainous at first, but he's actually just a dickish Well-Intentioned Extremist. His claims that he was responsible for the destruction of Negi's village are actually just a ruse to get Negi to view the Senate as an enemy and make him more pliable.
- Fantastic Racism: Subverted. At first it appears that he only cares about the 67 million humans in Megalomesembria, but it actually turns out he was just being ruthlessly practical: He knew of no way to save anyone besides them.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul
- Heel Face Turn: After being beaten by Negi and then being beaten up again by Takamichi, he appears to accept his loss and starts backing Negi and Ala Alba.
- He Who Fights Monsters: He was clearly a good guy twenty years ago. Haruna identifies him as this trope immediately after seeing a flashback to that time.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Unless his implied future wife Satomi Hakase grew much during the time skip, she's much shorter than him.
- Humiliation Conga: After he fails to turn Negi to his side, just about every member of Negi's team that's present either attacks Kurt, or does something to further ruin his plans.
- I Shall Taunt You: How he greeted Negi, and more or less every other line he ever uttered. It always works.
- Implausible Fencing Powers: He manages to cut Negi, even though Negi is made of lightning. He's a Shinmeiryuu swordsman.
- Jerkass: To be fair, his heart is in the right place. But does he have to be such a dick about it?
- Ki Attacks
- Mad Eye
- Martyr Without a Cause: Possibly. According to Nodoka's artifact, he himself was not involved in the attack on Negi's village. However, Godel says that he has no intention of running from his sins and promises, once everything is over, to let Negi beat him to death if that's what it takes to satisfy Negi's desire for revenge.
- May-December Romance See Crack Pairing above. Though they didn't meet then, Godel is likely to have been at least twice Hakase's age when she was in Junior High. After the time skip ending it's implied they got married.
- Minor Injury Overreaction: Played with.
- Smug Snake: He appears as this, but it turns out that it's an act, and he can kick Negi's ass.
- Teen Genius: Apparently one of these during his time with Ala Rubra... he was described as 'good at everything', and he taught himself Shinmeiryuu swordsmanship through mere observation before finally convincing Eishun to take him as an apprentice.
- Thanatos Gambit: He implies that whatever his plans were, it will come to fruition when Negi kills him. Unfortunately for him, Negi Out-Gambitted him by selecting his Genre Savvy confidant (Chisame) and a mind reader (Nodoka), both of which don't like to fight, and another noncombatant (Kazumi) as the three partners Godel let him bring.
- Understatement: 'If you're reading this, I suppose our little meeting didn't go very well' accompanied by a cheerful grin. This is after slicing up 'Asuna's' shoulder and inflicting wounds on Negi including a blow that removed his limbs, which was only temporary due to Negi being in lightning form.
- We Can Rule Together: He apparently wants Negi to restore his beloved Arika's name and honor in the Magic World. Then again, it's Godel we're talking about.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist
- Wild Card
Theodora
Third Imperial Princess of the Hellas Empire
Theodora was meeting with Arika in covert diplomacy during the war when the bad guys captured them both. So when Ala Rubra rescued Arika, they freed Theodora as well. Theodora was in command of the Hellas Imperial Fleet at the climax of the war. Oh, yeah, she was ten years old at the time. Her race doesn't age at the same rate as humans.
- Absolute Cleavage
- Bare Your Midriff
- Cannot Spit It Out: Word of God states that she wants to marry Rakan, but he still sees her as a child.
- The Cutie: Depending on your point of view. For her race, she's actually more like Negi's age, but her appearance is more... developed, so when she stops acting all dignified it's a bit surprising.
- Dark-Skinned Blond: Foreigner version, not a ditz.
- First-Name Basis
- Foreign Fanservice: As of chapter 239. The outfit she's wearing under that cloak - wow.
- Genki Girl
- Hime Cut
- Horned Humanoid
- Impossibly Cool Clothes
- Overly Long Name: Her full name is Theodora Basileia Helladis de Vesperisszimia.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: A diplomat and implied to be a fairly powerful mage as well. As the third Imperial princess, however, she is unlikely to inherit the throne.
- The Ojou: Working on The High Queen.
- She's All Grown Up: Was a cute young girl in the backstory, is now an adult and absolutely hot.
- Tomboy Princess: According to Rakan, which she takes slight offense to. To be fair, she really isn't very ladylike when not working.
- Underboobs: Yes, she managed to have Underboobs, Bare Your Midriff, and Absolute Cleavage all on the same outfit.
Seras
General Secretary of the Order of Magical Knights, Headmistress of Ariadne Girls Academy
Seras had field command of the Ariadne Magical Knights (at least) during the climactic final battle of the war, 20 years ago.
- Fan Girl: Probably one of the very first Nagi ever had.
- Horned Humanoid
- Older and Wiser: She helps Negi train for his bout with Rakan.
Jean Luc Ricardo
formerly Captain of the Svanhvit, Authorized Legislative Councilor of Megalomesembria
The Svanhvit was the Megalomesembria flag ship in the climactic battle of the war.
- Anime Hair: It looks like a starfish. And yes, it's like that naturally, says Akamatsu-sensei.
- Hot-Blooded
- Law of Conservation of Detail: During the opening of the Tournament, Ricardo and Theodora symbolicaly shook hands as representatives of their respective nations.
- Older and Wiser: He helps Negi and Kotarou train for their bout with Rakan.
- Shout-Out: Look at his name.
- Aside from the obvious one, looking like a Hot-Blooded Large Ham named "Ricardo" will probably make William Shatner scream.
Johnny
Blazing Rumbling Trucker
A truck driver who gives Yuna and Makie a ride to Ostia from the oasis town they were stranded in by Cosmo Entelecheia. Since developing a fondness for the girls on the way there, he's decided to stick with Ala Alba and help them save the world.
- Chivalrous Pervert: He likes to compliment Yuna on how she's grown.
- Eyes Always Shut
- Heroic Bystander: He's just an ordinary trucker, but even after seeing Cosmo Entelecheia raze the Governor's Ball and presumably kill everyone attending, he didn't think twice about going against them.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He flies his ship in the way of Quartum's massive Flaming Sword attack, gets cut down, and is promptly erased.
Jonny: Just...gotta protect the girls.
- Shout-Out: His name is a shout out to Gundam.
- Unfazed Everyman
Aisha, Kristian, Lynn and Craig
Four adventurers who take Nodoka under their wing upon her arrival to the Magical World.
- Badass Bookworm: Craig and Aisha.
- Bare-Fisted Monk: Lynn.
- Big Brother Complex: Craig's feelings toward Nodoka.
- Heroic Sacrifice and Taking the Bullet: Craig and Aisha are among the first victims of Cosmo Entelechia in their efforts to protect Nodoka.
- Love Dodecahedron: Kristian likes Aisha, Aisha likes Craig, Craig is overly protective of Nodoka because she reminds him of a childhood friend that he's still in love with and may have a crush on Nodoka as well.
- Shout-Out: All four are named after characters from James P Hogan's novel Inherit the Stars.
- Squishy Wizard: Aisha.
- Unusual Ears: Aisha and Lynn
Tohsaka
A leader and manager of the local fighting arena, and the one who owns Ako, Akira and Natsumi after they sell themselves into slavery in order to get medicine. A complete Jerkass... okay, maybe not complete.
- Battle Aura: He scares off his friends when they want to take advantage of Ako's Take Me Instead! attitude with this.
- Driven by Envy: Hinted to be why he's such a Jerkass. He also was a slave, and it took him almost twenty years to get free. Since Negi and Kotaro are buying the girls's freedom in less of a month via winning the Tournament, he's jealous like Hell.
- Go Out with a Smile
- Heroic Sacrifice
- Hidden Depths: At one point, Ako and Akira burst in on him while he's reading a book of poetry by Charles Baudelaire. This doubles as a Genius Bonus.
- Jerkass --> Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Kick the Dog: He gave quite the use to the electric collars that the slave girls wore. He promptly got his ass kicked by Negi and Mama Bear. And later, upon learning who Negi truly was, he tried to blackmail him into becoming his slave.
- Pet the Dog: Tosaka also does this, mainly by refusing Ako's Take Me Instead! offer, telling Negi that his mom Arika was The Messiah and not a traitor and ultimately sacrificing his life for Ako.
- Self-Made Man
- Street Urchin
- Taking the Bullet: Saves Ako's life by taking a hit of the anti-matter cannons and disappearing right in front of her.
- What the Hell, Hero?/Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!. Beats up Negi when he says he can't win against Rakan.
Mama Bear
A huge, stern, good-hearted beast woman who is in charge of the aforementioned slave girls. Tought but kind, she budgers the girls into working real hard, but also protects them devotedly when her old friend Tohsaka bullies them.
- Action Mom: She doesn't have kids, but takes care of the slave kids as if they were so.
- Apron Matron
- Everything Is Worse With Bears: Averted, she's a good bear person. Played straight if you threaten her wards, though: She'll have NO mercy.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Tohsaka takes bullets for Ako, Mama does it for Kotaro and Natsumi.
- I Was Quite a Looker: A flashback to her, Tosaka and the big guy's past shows that when she was young she was less, 'big full on furry bear woman' and more 'good looking girl who appeared mostly human but with bear's ears'.
- Well, even then she was all furry, but her face was more antropomorfic, she had long hair and was built like a Hot Amazon.
- Mama Bear: It's in the name and the fur.
- Meido
- Petting Zoo Lady
- Self-Made Man: Or better said, Self Made Bear Woman.
- Shipper on Deck: Encouraged Tohsaka to dance with Ako, and also ships Kotaro/Natsumi.
- Tsundere
- Zettai Ryouiki

Canis Niger
A mercenary association of which we get to see in action the seventeenth unit of the bounty-hunting division. This unit seems to consist of four people: Alexander "Twilight" Zaytsev- the captain of the unit nice nickname Chiko Tan, Razo, Paio II and Morborgran.
- The Beast Master: Paio II, a Bugmaster, as Yue precises.
- Dirty Mind Reading: Nodoka wasn't exactly happy looking inside Paio's brain.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Razo is worrying about his, and planing to send her some money
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Alexander "Twilight" Zaytsev, fitting the criteria for Conquerors, Scary Nouns, Xtreme Kool Letterz, and Anything You Can't Pronounce On The First Try all at once. Nice nickname, Chiko-tan.
- Combat Tentacles: courtesy of Paio's sand worms, they tend to be a little naughty.
- One-Winged Angel: Zaytsev boast (in his thoughts) about a "more powerful form" but we don't get to see it because of Negi's Death Glare
