Newspaper Club
Tsukune Aono
Voiced by: Daisuke Kishio (JP), Todd Haberkorn (EN)
The male protagonist of the series. Tsukune is an all around average human until one day his father comes home with an application to a mysterious academy he found. Taking it as a sign from above, Tsukune's parents send him to Yokai Academy, which Tsukune learns is a school for monsters! Luckily Tsukune meets Moka Akashiya, his main love interest who coincidentally is a vampire! Along the way, he and Moka make new friends, mostly members of his unwanted harem, and try to survive in the dangerous school. Later in the series he develops vampiric powers thanks to blood injections from Moka. His new power is sealed by a Holy Lock, which keeps him from becoming a Ghoul. Even with this detriment though, Tsukune manages to take life one life-threatening attack from a monster at a time!
- Action Survivor: Before his Badass upgrade, he adapted rather quickly to his circumstances while he was still The Team Normal.
- Adorkable: Especially in the beginning.
- Badass: Chapter 22 of the first season and onward.
- Beautiful Dreamer: Kurumu certainly thinks he's one.
- Beware the Nice Ones: after gaining Ghoul abilities midway into the first Manga. When he first became a Ghoul (before he gained the Holy Lock), he gave Inner Moka a hard time when she tried to subdue his rampage. (although granted she was still a bit weakened from the water sprinklers from a trap by a bad guy.) While the Holy Lock does keep his Ghoul powers subdued (which allows him to keep his sanity), it starts to slip through if he gets too pissed off, or takes too much damage. Later on, he starts learning how to access and control them.
- Bishonen: When tapping into his ghoul powers. After Art Evolution, his regular looks are tending a bit more towards this as well.
- Blessed with Suck: Moka injecting her blood into him can allow him to gain vampire-level physical abilities, but has the risk of turning into a ghoul where he's a raging killing machine that attacks everything he sees.
- Body Horror: Moka's blood turned him into a ghoul. Later, in season II, he temporarily turns into This because of Tohofuhai's human modification procedure.
- Boy Meets Ghoul: Vampire, actually.
- Chick Magnet: Lampshaded by Ginei, who doesn't understand why. To be fair, neither does he.
- Though compared to most harem leads he has a much more appealing personality, which makes it easier to imagine girls being attracted to him.
- During the manga's Beach Episode, while the girls cater to the male guests at Marin's hostel, Tsukune gets a fair amount of attention from the girls. It's the first time human girls have taken an interest in him.
- Character Development: Tsukune starts the series as a somewhat stereotypical harem lead, but has developed into a rather confident appealing individual.
- Class Representative: Elected in the first season (against his vehement protests). He's not especially smart or much of a stickler, and is never seen wielding any actual authority, but most of his class sees him as a reliable person, and he is an outspoken advocate for peace.
- Covered with Scars: In more recent chapters. Not that this makes him any less hot.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Most of the Unwanted Harem, and Ginei were homicidal maniacs before Tsukune and Moka came along.
- Determinator
- Dynamic Entry: Uses this on a guy who was threatening his harem with a gun (in this verse, guns can apparently kill monsters no matter how powerful they are).
- Even the Guys Want Him: Subverted with Fang-Fang, who was actually trying to recruit him into the Chinese Mafia. That said, Fang-Fang still has his moments, such as the second panel here.
- Flash Step
- Good Old Fisticuffs: He rarely kicks, though he's perfectly capable of it.
- Harem Hero
- Heroic BSOD: Suffers one after learning that the Outer Moka is a fake personality created by the Rosario in order to keep Moka's seal safe. End result? He begins to drift away into an inescapable sea of mental darkness.
- Humanoid Abomination: His ultimate ghoul mode, seen here. Good thing he got better.
- Instant Runes: Part of his upgrade, demonstrated in Chapter 43 of Season II.
- Lightning Bruiser
- Love At First Sight: With Moka.
- Made of Iron: Even before he got super powers, it was almost impossible to knock him out.
- Megaton Punch: His typical finisher.
- The Messiah: The Bus Driver implies that he will become the link between the Human and Monster worlds in the name of peace.
- Mismatched Eyes: Appears to have gained these (pictured above). May be a side-effect of Tohofuhai's modifications to his body.
- Morality Pet: He is somewhat this to Inner Moka, and tends to keep her from going too far, first seen when he defended Kurumu.
- Mr. Fanservice: Need I say more?
- Muggle: Was this in the manga until he got his powerup.
- Nice Guy
- Nosebleed: Gets these these at the sight of Fan Service.
- One-Winged Angel: that can't be good
- Only Sane Man: Most of the time.
- Ordinary High School Student: Yukari wasted no time lampshading this when they first met. He's far from ordinary now, though.
- Our Ghouls Are Creepier
- Power Limiter: The rosary around his wrist, which keeps his Super-Powered Evil Side in check. If he uses his powers too much, it begins to crack.
- Psychotic Smirk: If you see him sporting one of these or a full-blown Slasher Smile, RUN LIKE HELL because it means his Ghoul powers have gone out of control.
- Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: When taking on multiple opponents, his preference is to knock opponents out with quick, 'weak' blows.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The "ao" in Aono means blue. Inner Moka would be red.
- Ridiculously Average Guy: He's got plenty of common sense, but he isn't especially stupid or smart (even his test scores were right in the middle), doesn't have any special talents, and has lived a completely ordinary life. This quickly changes.
- Sensor Character: More recently, thanks to Moka's training.
- Shrouded in Myth: He's built up a reputation in the underworld for wiping out an entire branch of Fairy Tale, which was actually Gin and Haiji's doing. To be fair, he's still quite powerful.
- The Southpaw: He wielded Belmont with his left hand, to counter the Holy Lock on his right wrist.
- Superhuman Transfusion: Tsukune got his vampire/ghoul powers from repeatedly having Moka's blood injected into him. Considering she sucked out a lot of his original blood as well, it's not surprising that the ratio became skewed.
- Superpower Russian Roulette: Both gaining vampire powers and Tohofuhai's 109 needle surgery have low success rates and high death rates. Being a Determinator (and the main character), he made it through both.
- Super-Powered Evil Side: Too instinctive to really be actively evil, it is pretty much The Berserker, which is why he needs the Power Limiter to keep sane when it first appeared.
- Super Strength: After he Took a Level in Badass.
- Supporting Protagonist: While the story is from his point of view, Moka is the arguably the heroine of the series, serving as the strongest member of their group and often takes on the Big Bad. He becomes more active in part 2.
- Technical Pacifist
- Took a Level in Badass: And HOW.
- Touched By Dark Lords: Moka's vampire blood has been giving him strength for awhile, but he couldn't compete with a true fully trained vampire. Then Tohofuhai came along and modified his body, granting him full control of his power and the potential to compete with Akuha.
- Unfazed Everyman
- Whip It Good: While briefly wielding Belmont.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity
- X Marks the Hero: Has a X-shaped scar across his chest, which he got on this page. It's actually pretty easy to overlook at the time, since the scar isn't shown properly for several volumes.
Moka Akashiya
Voiced by: Nana Mizuki (JP), Alexis Tipton (EN, Outer Moka), Colleen Clinkenbeard (EN, Inner Moka)
The first person Tsukune meets when he sets foot in Yokai Academy. Exceptionally sweet and kind, Moka is a vampire, and takes a liking to Tsukune after ingesting his blood, becoming addicted in doing so. When the rosario around her neck is removed, the seal keeping her true nature is released. Cold and arrogant, "Inner" Moka is a completely different entity from the kind and loving "Outer" Moka, going so far as to specifically remind Tsukune to "be kind to the other Moka". Tsukune is the only one able to remove the rosario around Moka's neck.
- The Ace
- Broken Ace: Her mother died and her true memories were sealed. Upon remembering she feels it is her place to be alone.
- Action Girlfriend
- A-Cup Angst: She's actually quite ample in bust size, but Kurumu tries to make her self-conscious with her own rack at least once:
Kurumu: Oh, sorry! Did I bump into you? Your chest is so small, I didn't even notice!
- To be fair, ANYONE's would look small when compared to those of a succubus.
- All of the Other Reindeer: Was bullied in her previous school.
- Aloof Big Sister: Inner Moka, to Kokoa.
- Anti-Hero: Inner Moka, who starts off as a Type IV, but gradually evolves into a Type II.
- Artificial Human: Outer Moka was recently revealed to be this. Mikogami notes her to be the most lifelike "fake personality" he's ever seen, and she has established a personal identity of her own.
- Badass: Every time Inner Moka shows up, it's pretty much guaranteed that someone is going to get their ass kicked.
- Badass Adorable: Yes, even Inner Moka starts to have more and more Moe moments.
- Berserk Button: Inner Moka does not give a fuck about Double Standards, you do not touch her even if you are her boyfriend. (The alleged double standard in question being, unless you're her boyfriend she'll kick your ass if you touch her and you have the symbol of Mars on you.)
- Betty and Veronica: Betty to Kurumu's Veronica.
- There are two other Veronicas: Mizore and Inner Moka.
- Breast Expansion: In the anime, Inner Moka's chest goes up at least a cup size whenever she transforms. In the manga, she seems to be second only to Kurumu in size.
- Catch Phrase: "Know your place!" (Mi ni hodo o shire!)
- Celibate Hero: Inner Moka initially refuses to come to terms with her feelings for Tsukune because she passionately believes that love makes you weak.
- Character Development: Both personalities have matured greatly over the course of the series, with Outer Moka becoming more confident and responsible and Inner Moka becoming kinder and more understanding. It's suggested that the two are gradually merging into a single person.
- Covert Pervert: Here
- Curb Stomp Battle: Inner Moka delivers these. All the time.
- Cute Little Fangs: Outer Moka has these. Inner Moka's fangs are a little too long to qualify.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Her inner self was very cold at first, but eventually starts warming up to Tsukune. As of late you almost can't tell that she was once very standoffish towards him. Inner Moka still refuses to admit it, though, putting her into full-on Tsundere status.
- The Ditz: Outer Moka, sometimes. She's actually matured a fair amount.
- Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Often accidentally sends people flying and crushes them with hugs.
- Applies only to Outer Moka. Inner Moka is very well aware of how strong she is.
- Drop the Hammer: Appears to be Outer Moka's weapon of choice, but she leaves the serious fighting to Inner Moka.
- Even the Girls Want Her: One of the female students of the Youkai Academy says Moka has the kind of charm that attracts even girls.
- Evil Laugh: Twice in the second serialization: in chapter 1, after roundhouse kicking Tsukune as punishment for touching her, and in chapter 6, right before curb-stomping the doppelganger that stole her face.
- Evil Sounds Deep: Okay, she's not evil, but when Inner Moka comes around, her voice tumbles down many pitches.
- Extremity Extremist/Kick Chick: Relies only on high kicks in battle.
- First Girl Wins: Moka is the only girl of the harem that Tsukune has returned affections to.
- Green Eyes: As Outer Moka.
- He Is Not My Husband: Fang-Fang's impression of the relationship between (Inner) Moka and Tsukune gets this reaction out of her.
- Heroic Albino: Inner Moka is kinda this
- Identical Daughter: Outer Moka looks exactly like her mother.
- Idiot Hair: Neither of her personalities is an idiot, though Outer Moka can be a bit of a ditz.
- Lethal Chef: Inner Moka
- MacGuffin Girl: Moka's shinsou blood and connection to Alucard seems to make her this.
- Magical Girlfriend
- Magic Skirt: In the manga at least.
- Meaningful Name: "Moka" is a pun on the hot drink, "Cafe Mocha" (Coffee mixed with Cocoa), referring to the 'bitter and sweet' parallels between her two personalities: Inner (Coffee/Bitter) and Outer (Cocoa/Sweet).
- Modesty Bedsheet: First anime ending.
- Ms. Fanservice
- Only the Chosen May Wield: Tsukune is the only person who can remove the rosary. In one scene, Kurumu tries to remove it to release Inner Moka and turn the tide of a battle, but fails despite her super strength.
- Moka can remove it if she uses all her strength, but it is dangerous and painful. And risks permanently destroying the rosary.
- Our Vampires Are Different
- Out-of-Clothes Experience: In her mind-scape, the personality that is not in control of the body is naked. Neither make any comment about this.
- The Pollyanna: Outer Moka lost her memories from a significant part of her childhood, and doesn't understand why her mother disappeared. She also suffered from social ostracism, being unable to talk about her problems or share her true nature with anyone (not to mention her Bratty Half-Pint little sister kept attacking her), but come high school, she's quite balanced and friendly.
- Power Limiter: The rosary around her neck, which keeps her Super Powered Not-Really-Evil Side in check. It was initially put onto her to repress her power, which allowed Moka's mother Akasha to re-seal the monster Alucard. Inner Moka willingly puts it back on after battle because she starts to weaken if she is out for long periods of time.
- Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner: Inner Moka does this quite a lot when she's in the mood. For example:
Inner Moka: I hope you didn't see a doppelganger... because, you know, that means you're going to die.
[Inner Moka emits a sinister chuckle at her own one-liner]
- Proud Warrior Race Girl: Inner Moka
- Rapunzel Hair: Its down to almost her knees.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: As Inner Moka.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Inner Moka. The "aka" in Akashiya means red. Tsukune would be blue.
- Rose-Haired Girl: Outer Moka as a way to emphasise her cheerful, docile, romantic personality in contrast to the colder Inner Moka.
- Roundhouse Kick: Inner Moka does this, and at the same time does a Panty Shot when her skirt is short enough.
- Sealed Badass In A Person-Shaped Can: Inner Moka. Ironically, she's the original, and Outer Moka is a fake personality, so she's sealed in her own body.
- Shallow Love Interest: Outer Moka is an arguable example, although not nearly bad as other examples.
- In the manga, she even realizes this and is the Shipper on Deck for her other persona, whom she genuinely respects and cares for. In the anime, it's the reverse, as Inner Moka realizes Tsukune fell for her other side first, and actually likes her other persona, because she is a way to better enjoy the outside world, and even envies her for it. In the anime, though, Outer Moka gets a little jealous Inner Moka got close to Tsukune, though she does lampshade the irony of essentially being jealous of herself.
- Split Personality: Inner Moka is the original and Outer Moka was created when Akasha put the rosary onto Moka.
- Strong as They Need to Be: Outer Moka's strength varies according to the plot. Sometimes, she is able to knock over trees and pick up giant mallets. Sometimes, she can be restrained by human mooks.
- Sugar and Ice Personality: Outer is sugar, Inner is ice.
- Tareme Eyes: As Outer Moka.
- Tsurime Eyes: As Inner Moka.
- Transformation Trinket: Her rosary is a variation.
- Tsundere: Inner Moka is becoming this as of Season II of the Manga as a result of Character Development.
- Violently Protective Girlfriend: Inner Moka.
- Weaksauce Weakness: Pure water. She needs to add herbs to her bath water to stop it from hurting her.
- When She Smiles: Inner Moka. It was one half of the Defrosting Ice Queen picture.
- White-Haired Pretty Girl: Inner Moka definitely counts.
- You Are Not Alone: Tsukune tells her this when she decides to shoulder fighting Akuha alone and is willing to destroy her "Outer" persona to do it.
Kurumu Kurono
Voiced by: Misato Fukuen (JP), Brina Palencia (EN)
A busty succubus attending Yokai Academy. She was initially a rival to Moka, being jealous of her popularity surpassing her own, and attempted to seduce Tsukune and the male student body to find her "Mate of Fate", as her kind is near the brink of extinction. After she was badly beaten during a fight with Inner Moka, Tsukune persuades Inner Moka to spare her, and as a result, Kurumu not only became friends with the pair, but also becomes infatuated with Tsukune, and makes a decision that he will be her "Mate of Fate".
- Action Girl
- Alliterative Name: Bordering on Repetitive Name.
- Betty and Veronica: Veronica to Moka's Betty.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: In the Anime.
- Broken Bird: A succubus literally lives on love. Being heartbroken over Tsukune is LITERALLY killing her.
- Buxom Is Better: Has the biggest chest of the Unwanted Harem, not unexpected since she is a succubus. She is extremely proud of them and loves to take advantage of them with the males.
- Catch Phrase: "Yahoo!"
- Or "Yahoo-hoo!" for extra cuteness.
- Cool Down Kiss in chapter 41 she gives one that distracts the transformed Ghoul Tsukune long enough for Tohofuhai to give the 109th needle to complete the body modification procedure.
- Dude, He's Like, In A Coma She came close to kissing Tsukune while he was unconscious in her room.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Before she's properly introduced in episode 2 of the anime, the viewer can spot her in the initial scenes in the classroom, in the debut episode.
- Feminine Women Can Cook: She certainly thinks so and hopes that it gives her a leg up on Moka.
- Flanderization: The anime adaptation just wasn't that kind to Kurumu.
- Subverted by the end of Season 2 (of the anime, not of the manga), where she starts resembling her manga counterpart a lot more, though her mother winds up getting the flanderization to compensate.
- Genre Savvy: She could see from the beginning Hokuto was up to no good, despite his friendly behaviour, good looks and Meganeko-like glasses.
- Hair Decorations: She's almost never seen without her frilly black tiara and star-shaped hairpins. And even when her hair is down, the hairpins stay.
- The Heart
- Heel Face Turn: She originally wanted to screw over Moka simply because of jealousy. After being defeated, she becomes her ally and romantic rival. Ironically, this is MORE profound in the anime than the manga, as her animated counterpart is more of an asshole, and her Heel Face Turn cranks this down by a severe degree.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: Tries to be an ice-bitch (it's in the racial job-description of Succubi, after all), but simply cannot stop herself from doing the decent, compassionate and kind-hearted thing even if it costs her own happiness.
- Honor Before Reason: As a succubus, she literally has all she needs to make Tsukune love her and only her. Too bad for her that she really is a good girl.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: Fighting Akuha was never going to end well.
- Horny Devils: Subverted in that she is a compassionate, unselfish and kind-hearted girl in spite of her racial personality in the manga... in the anime not so much.
- Well, the anime does reveal she is just as kind hearted, it just plays up the Horny Devils part of her a lot more, thus disguising a lot of it. When you get down to it, she's really sweet in either version, it's just her anime counterpart (Season 1 especially) doesn't like to show it.
- Hypnotic Eyes: Her "Charm" technique, used by succubi to control men.
- The Lancer
- Lovely Angels: With Mizore, and occasionally steps into Les Yay territory.
- Marshmallow Hell: Does this to Tsukune constantly.
- Ms. Fanservice
- My God, What Have I Done?: Says something along this line when she realizes in a chapter from the second manga volume that she charmed Tsukune by mistake what follow is a tear jerker story that shows how troubled she really is and how honorable she is as well.
- Only You Can Repopulate My Race: Claims only one man in the world can sire a specific succubus' children, and she is convinced it is Tsukune.
- Panty Shot: All the time.
- Purple Eyes
- Rescue Romance: In her first appearance, she tried to seduce Tsukune to spite Moka. She falls in love with him for real when he stops Inner Moka from killing her.
- Spit Trail Kiss: She gave one to Tsukune. Except it turned out to be All Just a Dream.
- Supreme Chef
- Sweater Girl
- The Power of Love: This and desire are the Power Source behind a succubus' life.
- Love Hurts: Especially when All Love Is Unrequited.
- Recent chapters have shown it's not quite as unrequited as originally shown.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Cookies.
- Winged Humanoid: A succubus' true form has bat-like wings, a tail, Pointy Ears, and long fingernails.
- Wolverine Claws: Can slice through trees with them.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: She's already a good cook, and according to her fantasies, and the time she charmed Tsukune by mistake, she would become a submissive, perfect housewife if she and Tsukune got married.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair
Yukari Sendo
Voiced by: Kimiko Koyama (JP), Monica Rial (EN)
The smartest student at Yokai Academy, and the youngest at age 11. As a witch, she has problems with her classmates discriminating against her (according to Kurumu, witches are viewed as "Beings of the Borderline", those that are something between humans and the supernatural, as it is impossible to tell their difference by appearance alone). Despite ranking #1 on the examinations, she was a lonely prankster before meeting Tsukune and Moka. She initially hated Tsukune, claiming that she has fallen in love with Moka, and uses her magical powers to try to drive them apart. However, after both Tsukune and Moka save her from bullying classmates, she falls for him too, and her obsession with both has driven her to try to create a three-way relationship between them.
- A-Cup Angst: In large part due to being teased by Kurumu.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: Most of her summons.
- Bi the Way: Has a crush on both Tsukune and Moka and is the only girl who actually supports the couple because of it. Has a rather creepy fixation on it, actually.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: When a guy asks how Tsukune aquired his Unwanted Harem, she answers, "Read Season I. It's ten volumes."
- Child Prodigy
- Cute Witch
- Death Dealer: Using Tarot cards.
- Drop the Washtub: Often uses her magic to do this.
- Fantastic Racism: Before her friendship with Tsukune, she disliked humans. Also, many monsters look down on witches for their resemblance to humans.
- Girly Girl to Kokoa's Tomboy
- Intelligence Equals Isolation: Before meeting Tsukune and the others.
- Ms. Exposition: Often the one to tell the name and weakness of the Monster of the Week.
- Nice Hat
- Open Says Me: She possesses a rather nice set of skeleton keys.
- Pettanko:
- Purple Eyes
- Rescue Romance: Falls in love with Tsukune when he risks his life to save her from lizard-men.
- Spell My Name With A U: Sendo/Sendou
- Summon Magic: She mastered it instantly. 'Cuz she's a genius.
- Token Mini-Moe
- Verbal Tic, desu!
- Yaoi Fangirl: She nosebleeds over a Boys Love manga.
- You Are Not Alone: In the manga: "Like Moka said ... you're ... not alone anymore."
- Zettai Ryouiki
Mizore Shirayuki
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (JP), Tia Ballard (EN)
A yuki-onna who is in the same homeroom class as Tsukune and Moka, frequently seen with a lollipop in her mouth (yuki-onna are vulnerable to warm climates; doing so keeps their bodies cool). Mizore returns to school after a delayed absence and was first portrayed as a lonely, somewhat depressed, and misunderstood girl. She becomes infatuated with Tsukune, going so far as to create her own journal/scrapbook with all of his newspaper articles.
In the past, she confessed her love to a teacher until he began taking advantage of her, freezing him as a result. With the incident and rumors spreading about her, Mizore made it hard for herself to trust anyone, but took a liking to Tsukune, believing he was just as miserable as she was. She eventually regains her sense of trust after Tsukune intervenes when the same teacher returns to kill her. Unfortunately, this leads Mizore to stalk Tsukune on a daily basis.
- Action Girl
- Anime Hair: Not so much now, but when she was first introduced in both the manga and anime her hair was much more messy and longer, and despite being only having her hair like that for a short arc (and in her intro eps in the anime), it's still popular with her fans. She doesn't wear her hair like that anymore because to her it was a Important Haircut to symbolize the lessening of her burdens (or something along those lines), which was followed by her becoming a member of the Unwanted Harem.
- Arranged Marriage: Is rescued from it by her friends and mother.
- Betty and Veronica: Veronica to Moka's Betty. Then again, Mizore might as well be a Cheryl.
- Blue Eyes
- Broken Bird: Has suffered multiple rape attempts. Also, her childhood human friend spurned her Love Confession when he discovered that she wasn't human.
- And then, her arranged fiance stole her first kiss, pinned her down and groped her with her unable to fight back. Although she wasn't raped it was close enough for her to make her Driven to Suicide and had to be saved by Kurumu.
- The Chosen One: Implied by the Snow Priestess to be one.
- In truth, Mizore was "chosen" to be the arranged wife/sex slave of a powerful and high-ranking member of Fairy Tale, all in order to stop the guy from leveling the Yuki-Onna village.
- Cry Cute: In the climax of her arc in season 2.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Destination Defenestration: Her suicide attempt (which ultimately failed) in season 2.
- Doppleganger Spin: Her "ice clone" technique, which allows her to make somewhat-independent clones merely out of the humidity in the air. She's shown to be quite adept, as she can not only make clones of others (namely, Tsukune), but have two acting at the same time.
- An Ice Person
- Important Haircut: See above after she becomes a member of the Unwanted Harem.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Seems to have accepted that she doesn't have a chance with Tsukune.
- Loners Are Freaks: Even after joining the group, it was quite a while before she joined the Newspaper Club proper, instead of just hanging around in the club room. And she's definitely an oddball.
- Lovely Angels: With Kurumu, occasionally dips into Les Yay.
- Meaningful Name: Shirayuki means "Snow White".
- Me's a Crowd: Can create "ice clones". Not only of herself.
- My Biological Clock Is Ticking: She gets an entire arc focusing on this.
- Only You Can Repopulate My Race: Yuki-Onna have a limited window of fertility (teens to early-to-mid twenties), which poses a problem. A problem that's exacerbated by her fixation of Tsukune.
- Oral Fixation Fixation: Her Tootsie Roll Pop, which is used to keep herself cool. According to an Omake, it's got a super-chilly frost core.
- Rescue Romance: As the Kraken dragged her into the sea, she sighed and thought she would die without ever knowing true love... until Tsukune caught a tentacle, pulled them out of the water, and kicked the Kraken's ass.
- Stalker with a Crush: Even after joining the Unwanted Harem. Stalking Tsukune is her hobby.
- In the anime, it's revealed this is In the Blood (only suggested in the manga).
- Stealth Hi Bye: Often appears out of ridiculous hiding places, like trash cans, second story windows, dropped ceilings, the bathtub...
- The Stoic
- Strange Girl
- Sugar and Ice Personality
- Too Many Belts: All of which draw attention to her Zettai Ryouiki. Most likely intentional.
- Wolverine Claws: Made of ice.
- Yandere: Sorta starts off as this. She gets better.
- Remains a very mild comedic version in the anime, but starts resembling her manga side a lot more by the end of Season 2, though her mother, like Kurumu's, gets flanderized to accomplish this.
- You Are Not Alone: As mentioned in Rescue Romance above, Kraken is pulling Mizore off a cliff. In the manga, she thinks in despair, "I really am ... all alone." The very next panel is Tsukune and Moka showing up to prove her wrong.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Hers is light purple that goes icy blueish white when she's really using her powers in the anime, inspired from the manga where it's looks like it's iced over. Mostly justified by her being An Ice Person.
- Zettai Ryouiki
Ruby Tojo
Voiced by: Saeko Chiba (JP), Leah Clark (EN)
A witch from the human world who was part of a plot to destroy mankind as a response to a large garbage dump polluting her mistress' sanctuary. Despite not being an official student, she receives permission to become a member of the Newspaper Club as its assistant advisor (though she prefers to take orders).
- Action Girl
- Brick Joke: Ruby does not mind being shocked.
- Broken Bird: Her parents were killed by a car collision.
- Catch Phrase: "Many things happened..."
- Running Gag in the anime.
- In the dubbed version "It's a long story..."
- Cosplay Otaku Girl: Sometimes for Fan Service, occasionally For The Lulz.
- Covert Pervert: Dear god is she. Although she got caught once while training with Tsukune much to the ire of the other girls.
- Dark Magical Girl
- Defector From Decadence: She was part of a plot to wipe out a human city, but turned due to Tsukune's kindness.
- The anime heavily changed the plot, replacing Ruby's master, who was revealed to by Dead All Along, and Ruby attempted to carry out the plan. The changes made to Ruby resulted in her being completely insane in her 1st appearence.
- Fantastic Racism: Had a hatred of humans until meeting Tsukune.
- Happiness in Slavery: When asked what her relationship to Tsukune is, she answers "plaything".
- In the original/fan translation of the manga, this is "toy". The undercase is deliberate.
- Heroic RROD: Her Iron Maiden form gives her tremendous power in exchange for putting enormous strain on her body. What a delight!
- Hime Cut
- Hot Witch
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Tries to pass herself off as this during the second season of the anime, but winds up achieving Epic Fail.
- Lady of Black Magic/Lady of War
- Of Corsets Sexy
- Ravens and Crows: Her familiars.
- Razor Floss
- Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
- The Sixth Ranger: her general role in the serious storylines in the manga after her introductory arc.
- Tome of Eldritch Lore: She wrote it.
- Too Kinky to Torture: At one point she actually orgasmed over too much of an electric shock. She also absentmindedly ties herself up BDSM style, a habit she compares to winding the phone cord around your finger.
- When she handed Tsukune the magical whip, she blushed and assured him that she wasn't asking him to hit her with it—and then hinted broadly that she'd like it if he did. In the next panel, after he's told her he isn't into that sort of thing, she's clearly disappointed...
- In a recent chapter, the group is cornered by Raika, one of the six subdivision leaders of Fairy Tale, who proceeds to assault Ruby with what was presumed to be a fatal electrical discharge...and she gets up, blushing and stating "I don't hate being shocked. <3"
- Vague Age: She was estimated to be 17 at one point, but no one can say for sure.
- Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?
- Winged Humanoid: Can sprout six black-feathered wings.
Ginei Morioka
Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (JP), Ian Sinclair (EN)
A werewolf and the president of the Newspaper Club. He is a second-year student at Yokai Academy and a shameless peeping tom who initially began as an antagonist to Tsukune, but becomes somewhat of a senior to him and his friends.
- Achilles' Heel: He needs a full moon to fight at his maximum. He lost a fight to Moka when a cloud covered the moon mid-attack.
- The full moon also seems to make him much less of a nice guy, transforming him from Lovable Sex Maniac to potential rapist.
- Badass
- Bash Brothers: With Haiji.
- Berserk Button: Harming his Nakama, or worse, San Otonashi.
- Bishounen: After Art Evolution, so very much! Oh hell, just look at him.
- Cannot Spit It Out: It is obvious that he is in love with San.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He's a pervert who immediately gets his ass kicked by his victims, but he's one of the strongest characters in the series.
- Defeat Means Friendship: With San-sempai.
- Flash Step: One of the fastest characters. When Kokoa attacked him with a rapier, she made several slashes at his afterimage before she even noticed that he had moved.
- Handsome Lech: Let's allow Kurumu to explain it better:
That guy's a pervert who gropes girls' breasts[1] as a "hello", and steals things from the girls' changing room, but...
- Chivalrous Pervert: To Kurumu, particularly while they're in China.
- Hidden Depths
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Although he is a total pervert and bosses the others around, he will fight to the end to protect his friends.
- Lightning Bruiser
- Lovable Sex Maniac
- Mr. Fanservice
- Our Werewolves Are Different: He can transform at will. The level of moonlight shining on him determines his power level.
- Pet the Dog: Whenever he aids the Five-Man Band and his love of San. Also, he seems genuinely concerned about Kurumu.
- Sempai-Kohai: With San.
- And the rest of the Newspaper Club (read, the protagonists) consider him as their senpai, too.
- Ship Tease: With San.
- Strong as They Need to Be: Justified since he needs the full moon exposed to be at full strength.
- Tranquil Fury
- Vitriolic Best Buds: His relationship with Haiji seems to mostly be this. Anytime the two are seen together, they are constantly snarking at one another, even while teaming up to fight Fairy Tail.
- "Wake-Up Call" Boss: During his very short stint as a villain, he was the first to have a Eucatastrophe against Inner Moka, only losing due to the dumb luck of a cloud covering the moon.
Kokoa Shuzen
Voiced by: Chiwa Saito (JP), Kira Vincent-Davis (EN)
The younger half-sister of Moka Akashiya. Like her sister, Kokoa is also a vampire, but her powers are not sealed and does not carry the same level of supernatural strength that Moka possesses. To compensate for it, she has a pet bat named Kou that can transform into a variety of weapons and wields it with enough strength to make herself formidable. Kokoa despises Moka for sealing away her inner personality, whom she adores and loves. Before Moka left to study at the academy and prior to her receiving the rosario, the sisters often clashed with one another, although Kokoa could never defeat Moka in a duel.
- A-Cup Angst: Bonded with Yukari over this. Doesn't seem like it will be a problem once she's a bit older though.
- Action Girl
- Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny: She's very easily distracted by the smell of Tsukune's blood.
- Badass Adorable
- Blood Knight: Obsessed with fighting Inner Moka.
- Break the Haughty: When she learns that Tsukune, Mizore, and Kurumu are all superior to her when it comes to training and experience.
- She also realizes anime Tsukune is braver than she thought in Season 2 when he faces off against her father, and even dials down on her disrespect of him somewhat.
- Bratty Half-Pint: Especially in the anime.
- Brick Break: Busted through 13 tombstone slabs.
- Cute Bruiser: Not as strong as Inner Moka, but not too far off. Her main problem is that Moka has greater skill.
- At least when they were younger, Kokoa was actually stronger than Moka (Moka couldn't handle the weight of Kou's weapon forms, but the 9-year-old Kokoa could).
- Kokoa had more physical strength, but was weaker overall. Kokoa was basically a Mighty Glacier who wasn't that strong.
- At least when they were younger, Kokoa was actually stronger than Moka (Moka couldn't handle the weight of Kou's weapon forms, but the 9-year-old Kokoa could).
- Cute Little Fangs
- Fantastic Racism: Believed vampires are inherently superior to everything else. Not anymore.
- Fiery Redhead
- Flat What: Somehow manages to convey this with an expression in the upper right panel here.
- Green Eyes
- Girlish Pigtails
- Lesbian Vampire: Implied to be one since she gets Nosebleeds from female Fan Service and has yet to show interest in anyone other than Inner-Moka.
- Made of Iron: She shrugs off a steel-chair shot from Kurumu, and a kick from Inner Moka.
- Morph Weapon: Her pet bat, Kou.
- Nosebleed: Gets these at the sight of female fanservice and yaoi.
- Older Than They Look: Despite being a year younger than Moka, she appears even younger than Yukari. The age-progression drops, however, make it clear that she's just a late bloomer.
- Our Vampires Are Different
- Surrounded by Idiots: How she sees the others.
- Tomboy to Yukari's Girly Girl
- Tsundere: Moreso in the manga. The anime makes her straddle the line into Jerkass, albeit played heavily for comedy.
- Why Did It Have To Be Kahlua?
- You're Not My Sister: She hates Outer Moka, but idolizes Inner Moka.
- Yaoi Fangirl: She nosebleeds over a Boys Love manga.
- Zettai Ryouiki
Other Students
Fang-Fang Huang
- Bare-Fisted Monk: As it turns out he has no talent for summoning because... he has no talent for summoning. He probably picked it up because his father and grandfather do it.
- Bishonen
- Braid of Action
- The Chew Toy: The fact that he sometimes brings it on himself does not help.
- Cool Sword: Made of Chinese coins linked together.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: When he gets his summons right, he gets them RIGHT. Also, seems to know his way around a machinegun. It's revealed the reason for his poor summoning is he's actually a natural martial artist with no innate youjutsu talent.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady
- Expy: He looks like China from Axis Powers Hetalia.
- Some people think Ranma Saotome - a belief supported by his panda summon.
- Hot-Blooded
- Lamarck Was Right: Subverted and played straight. He's not even close to Tohofuhai in youjutsu ability, much less able to control his summoning as well as his father and Yukari. However, he did inherit his mother's martial arts talent.
- Lightning Bruiser
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy
- Man, I Feel Like a Woman: Gets stuck in Yukari's body for awhile. Hilarity Ensues.
- Mistaken for Gay: People mistake his obsessive attempts to get Tsukune to join the mafia as him being gay for Tsukune.
- It Got Worse, Yukari gave Tsukune a Love Confession while in his body.
- Shipper on Deck: For Tsukune and Inner Moka.
- Shout-Out: To Ranma ½. He even has a giant panda as a familiar.
- Summon Magic / Summon Bigger Fish: Shame he can only do it randomly, otherwise this would be awesome.
- When his father is shown in action, we get to see a good preview of what somebody who's actually good at it can do.
- The Triads and the Tongs: The only son of the biggest yokai boss in China. Of course.
- Took a Level in Badass: Is presented as joke during most of his early appearances then during a fight with Fairy Tale, he's had enough when Yukari nearly dies trying to save him and takes on two division leaders almost single-handedly.
Ling-Ling Huang
- Action Girl
- Badass
- Catch Phrase: "Because I am dead." This turns into a Shout-Out to Hokuto no Ken at least once: "Because I am already dead."
- Combat Pragmatist: Has absolutely no compunctions about cheating so long as it gets her what she wants. She also pulls an Uzi on Akuha.
- Cool Big Sis
- Everything's Deader with Zombies
- Heroic Sacrifice: Tries to pull one off to take out Akuha. Doesn't quite work out... but she gets better.
- Let's Get Dangerous: She can ALSO use the Jigen-Tou.
- Lightning Bruiser
- Losing Your Head: Casually pulls her head off several times, which squicks everyone else.
- Necromancer: Controls an army of undead warriors. Chillingly, she wanted to add Tsukune and the others to her undead army, but Fang-Fang talks her out of it.
- Older Than They Look: She is undead, and implies that she died a really long time ago. She attends the school because she looks like a teenager.
- Apparently she was created by Tohofuhai. Though it's said she is the daughter of Fang-Fang's parents, so it seems he resurrected Ling-Ling after her death
- Our Zombies Are Different
- Perpetual Smiler: Always smiling, even when she is honestly terrified.
- She does lose her smile when things go south real bad. And if it happens, we know it's really really bad.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers
- The Triads and the Tongs: Fang-Fang's older sister.
- The Undead
- Yandere: Subverted and played for laughs; Ling-Ling takes an instant liking to Tsukune and contemplates killing him and turning him into her zombie companion. At Fang-Fang's insistence, she agrees to wait until he dies naturally or in combat.
Haiji Miyamoto
- Badass
- Bash Brothers: With Gin.
- Berserk Button: Harming San Otonashi, or any other little girl.
- Boisterous Bruiser
- Boxing Lessons for Superman: He was born a monster, and so far, that has always resulted in some sort of power beyond the ability of humans. However, he never takes his monster form, and he relies on the power of his karate training. It's unclear just how much his natural powers inform what he can do, but it's made clear that his technique is what makes him truly formidable.
- Brick Break: He can even do this at a distance.
- Flash Step
- Handsome Lech
- Limited Wardrobe: Hasn't been seen in anything other than martial arts gi.
- Lolicon: He gushes over any small girl he meets, particularly: Yukari, Kokoa, and San. He also doesn't understand why Ginei is not attracted to them like he is.
- Lovable Sex Maniac: He's a lolicon and proud of it.
- Made of Iron: He casually shrugs off getting speared in the head.
- Serious Business: Karate.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: His primary relationship with Ginei.
- Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Though it's probably because he's too busy gushing over how cute they are to put up any resistance.
Kuyou
Voiced by: Shuichi Ikeda (JP), Jason Douglas (EN)
Head of Student Police
He's now one of Fairy Tale's division leaders.
- Badass Long Hair: Hell yes. Even moreso after The Bus Came Back.
- Bishonen Line: Has a human-looking form that is even more powerful than his One-Winged Angel form.
- Fantastic Racism: Against humans.
- Kick the Dog: When he tortures Tsukune and punches Moka in the gut. And when he casually incinerates one of his prisoners.
- Knight of Cerebus: The first villain to break the Monster of the Week formula, and his appearance was one of the few times Inner Moka dying was presented as a possibility in Part I.
- Knight Templar: Determined to kill any humans who venture into the monster world, as well as any monsters that associate with them. And anyone else he deems to have broken the rules.
- Made of Iron: He survives being shredded by Ginei's claws.
- The Mole: For Fairy Tale. And now we know why the series started getting dark toward the end of Volume 2 of the first serialization. I mean, is it any wonder that the Student Police under him interpreted Youkai Academy's "no humans" rule as a death penalty for "filthy human spies"?
- One-Winged Angel: His true form is a four-tailed kitsune.
- Playing with Fire: Hitomi describes his flames as hot enough to vaporize bone (which doesn't appear to be an exegeration).
- Put on a Bus: Haven't heard from him since the first time Moka turned Tsukune into a vampire.
- The Bus Came Back: He's part of Fairy Tale.
- Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Double subverted. He did remember to Level Grind but our hero did more more effective level grinding.
Saizo Komiya
Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (JP), Robert McCollum (EN)
- Jerk Jock
- Killed Off for Real: As punishment for losing to Tsukune.
- Momma's Boy: In the anime.
- Multipurpose Tongue/Overly Long Tongue
- Nice Guy: At least in the anime, he's more amicable to Tsukune since their first encounter.
- Spared by the Adaptation: As there was no Hokuto or ANTI-THESIS in the anime, he got off with just a foot to the face.
Kusabi Midou
- Blood Knight: Obsessed with fighting a real vampire.
- The Combat Pragmatist: He claims that while he enjoys a good fight, the only thing that matters is winning.
- Crazy Prepared: He rigs makeshift sprinklers to counter Moka, as vampires can't stand water.
- Curb Stomp Battle: Was belting this out to Inner Moka via the above and to Tsukune..until the tables turned when Tsukune's Ghoul form awakened and the Curbstomping reversed on to him.
- Killed Off for Real: As punishment for losing to Tsukune.
- Power Fist
Kiria Yoshii
Second-in-Command of Anti-Thesis
- Arch Enemy: Seems to really have it in for Kurumu. Moka too.
- Blood Knight
- The Dragon
- Flash Step: He's so insanely fast that the only reason he didn't kill the heroes in an instant is because it wouldn't be very entertaining for him.
- For the Evulz/For the Lulz
- Hellish Pupils: Doubly so in that, not only does he have rectangular pupils, but they are oriented so that they are perpendicular to one another, giving him this and a variation of Mismatched Eyes.
- Mismatched Eyes: A variation.
- Pet the Dog: Saving Hokuto's life back when he was a human and turning him into a monster to give him the strength to survive. He did admit that he was curious to see what Hokuto would do with his newfound power.
- Sinister Scythe: What his arm turns into.
- Smug Snake
Hokuto Kaneshiro
Leader of Anti-Thesis
- Arch Enemy: Tsukune.
- Big Bad: Of Season 1.
- The Chessmaster
- Eldritch Abomination: His true form resembles one, being some kind of bizarre, horrifying insect-like creature.
- Expy: Of Light Yagami.
- You could also strongly argue that he's one of Aizen. Starts out with glasses and later removes them a short time after his True Colors are revealed, kills off the alleged governing council of the student festival in what looks like what would have happened if we had seen Aizen kill the Central 46 members onscreen, and manages to make everyone (save the Genre Savvy) believe he's a good guy.
- Freudian Excuse: His father beat him and the monsters at the school nearly killed him many times over. Kiria was his only friend.
- Genius Bruiser
- Handicapped Badass: As of Season 2, he is in a wheelchair. And he can STILL Curb Stomp Battle Tsukune. With one arm no less.
- Knight of Cerebus: His arc is arguably the darkest of the first season.
- I Am Not Left-Handed: After battling Moka and Tsukune for some time, he reveals he was wearing a Power Limiter, takes it off, and goes One-Winged Angel on their asses.
- Nietzsche Wannabe
- Not So Different: He was once a human who stumbled into the monster world, just like Tsukune. However, instead of getting a harem, the only friend he made was Kiria, who made him what he is now. After being defeated, he helps Tsukune and Moka stop his own plan, because he decides Tsukune had proved himself the better of the two.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Wanted to destroy both worlds as punishment for both spurning him.
- One-Winged Angel
- Psychotic Smirk: Just before he reveals that he and Kiria are with Fairy Tale.
- Specs of Awesome

Youkai Academy Staff

Voiced by: Norihiro Inoue (JP), Chuck Huber (EN)
- Almighty Janitor: Implied to be one of the more powerful or influential characters in the series.
- Badass Driver
- Captain Ersatz: Let's see... drives people around as a profession, hands out advice on the path on should take in life to the hero... implied to be a mega powerful badass... we will most likely never know what all of his face really looks like... Caine, is that you?!
- Cool Car: His bus can travel anywhere in both the human and monster worlds, and is ungodly fast.

- The Watcher: Never joins battles personally, just gives advice and drives the heroes around.
Shizuka Nekonome
Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue (JP), Jamie Marchi (EN)
- Adult Child
- Berserk Button: Do not make fun of her for forgetting to hide her tail. And don't ask how old she is.
- Catgirl
- Eyes Always Shut
- Femme Fatalons: She'll claw up anybody who pushes her Berserk Button—and she'll do it while still maintaining her usual cheery-looking face (though the way her eyes are closed when it happens it scares shitless those watching nonetheless).
- Green Eyes: In the anime at least, as seen in the season one credits and the Lilith mirror episode.
- Hot Teacher
- She apparently doesn't wear a bra under that top.
- Meganekko
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Aside from the Chairman, she's one of the few teachers who isn't a Jerkass or horribly deranged and is actually helpful and non prejudicial to her students.
- Ship Tease: With the Bus Driver.
- Those Two Girls: Occasionally has this dynamic with Ririko in the Season 2 anime.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Goldfish
Hitomi Ishigami
- And I Must Scream: When she turns people to stone, they are still conscious and can cry.
- Braids of Action: Literally! Actually, they're primarily braids of artsiness, but they do a pretty good job of making her look combat-ready as well.
- Combat Tentacles: Her hair, which can extend indefinitely and turn into snakes.
- Foe Yay: Constantly rants about how beautiful Moka is, while trying to kill her or turn her to stone.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: She gets a scar on her forehead after her first defeat.
- Gorgeous Gorgon: She is a gorgon.
- Hoist By Her Own Petard: In her first appearance, she is knocked out when Moka kicks her with a turned-to-stone leg.
- Hot Teacher
- Mad Artist: Her original MO was to turn people to stone for her collection. Now, she considers death, destruction, and chaos to be the ultimate forms of art, and does her best to create it.
- Snakes Are Sexy
- Taken for Granite: Via the venom from the snakes in her hair.
Kagome Ririko
Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa (JP), Shelley Calene-Black (EN)
- Bondage Is Bad: Acts like a dominatrix to the students she is tutoring.
- Brainy Brunette
- Emotion Eater: Downloads info directly into her student's brains, but drains away their feelings and leaves them cold and heartless.
- Gorgeous Gorgon: Her true form is a "Lamia", a woman with a snake's lower body.
- Harmless Villain: Unlike most of the other villains, she has no interest in physically harming anyone. She also thinks of her actions as being beneficial to her victims.
- Hot for Student: Gives off the impression of such in both the manga and anime to Tsukune and is implied for other male students, though she's ultimately revealed to be far more interested in milking her male students brainpower for all its worth out of some obsessive desire to make them smarter.
- Hot Teacher
- Mad Mathematician
- Meganekko
- Of Corsets Sexy

Mako Yakumaru
Voiced by: Mariko Kouda (JP), Jennifer Seman (EN)
- Combat Tentacles: Her extending fingers.
- Hospital Hottie: A fake one in the manga, since she's not really a nurse.
- In Name Only: the version of her in the anime compared to the manga is totally different, except for looks and the above ability, and is a one episode wonder who gets defeated off screen.
- Meganekko
- People Puppets: Via a fluid she injects into her victim's neck.
- Squishy Wizard: She's defenseless once you get past the people she's controlling.
Fairy Tale
Kahlua Shuzen
- Adult Child
- Affably Evil
- Ax Crazy
- Berserker Tears: Because she does not enjoy killing, even though it is what she does best.
- Career Killer: According to Kokoa, she is considered one of the greatest.
- Cloudcuckoolander
- Dark Action Girl
- Darkskinned Blonde: While we don't as-of-yet know what color her hair is, Kahlua is the tannest of the Vampire Sisters and has light colored hair, so it fits. She gets it from her mother.
- The Ditz/Genki Girl: When she is not in her "Killer" mode.
- Her first in person appearance is her falling on her face after tripping on her own dress while greeting our heroes before she fights them.
- Fairytale Wedding Dress: However you look at it, Kahlua's dress looks like something a bride would wear to her wedding (except maybe the boots and the slit).
- Absolute Cleavage
- Opera Gloves
- She's Got Legs: Her dress has a slit up the left side.
- Zettai Ryouiki: Grade B.
- Woman in White: It looks white, at the very least.
- Feel No Pain: If she takes too much damage, her body will fail itself. But she's charmed to feel no pain, so she doesn't know when she's approaching that point.
- Implacable Woman: Thanks to her inability to feel pain.
- Laser Guided Tykebomb: Her programming led to her trying to kill Moka and Kokoa, her own sisters.
- Made of Iron: Partially due to her inability to feel pain. She also shrugs off her older sister Akuha's One-Hit Kill.
- Nightmare Fuel: An in-universe example: She absolutely terrifies Kokoa.
- Our Vampires Are Different
- One-Winged Angel
- Power Limiter: Her earrings. She has two and she only needed to remove one to effortlessly slaughter the heroes.
- However, no mention has been given to her other earing being a limiter. It is likely there just to match.
- Punch Clock Villain: Possibly the most horrific deconstruction ever.
- Shapeshifter Weapon: Her arm can turn into several razor-sharp bat wings.
Akuha Shuzen
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: The Jigen-Tou aka Dimension Sword.
- The Ace
- A-Cup Angst - After Tohofuhai points out how youthful she looks.
- Ambition Is Evil
- Awesomeness By Analysis: While fighting her sister Kahlua, she was able to figure out the reason behind her Berserker Tears despite seeing them for the first time.
- Badass Adorable
- Becoming the Mask: She started to care for her sisters far more than she first planned.
- Berserk Button: Threatening her sisters. Not being the one Moka opens her heart to. Tsukune, she's looking at you for this.
- Curb Stomp Battle: Her speciality
- Cute Bruiser: She's even stronger than Kahlua.
- Dark Action Girl
- The Dragon
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite being apparently a Complete Monster, she really does love her little sister Moka. She even put her plot to gain ultimate power by killing Moka's mother on hold in a (failed) attempt to avoid hurting Moka's feelings.
- Fan Service: That dress she wears.
- I Have Your Wife: She escapes the fight with Tohofuhai with Moka in tow by pointing out his grandkids are still clinging to life.
- Immune to Bullets: As Ling-Ling found out.
- Intangible Woman: The reason for the above.
- The Juggernaut
- Knight Templar Big Sister/Yandere: Touch Moka and die.
- Lesbian Vampire: Her feelings towards Moka (initially towards Inner Moka, and almost instantly fell for Outer Moka) easily border on romantic.
- Little Miss Badass
- Morality Pet: After cutting Moka's mother in half with her bare hands to get her powerful blood, she then teams up with that same mother, newly regenerated, in order to save her beloved sister Moka from Alucard, though Akuha proved powerless against him.
- My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours: Picked up martial arts training from being raised most of her life in China.
- Oh Crap: The common reaction to her.
- In return, the look on her face after it became obvious that fucking with Tohofuhai was really a bad choice is priceless.
- Older Than They Look: She's Moka's oldest sister but doesn't look it at all. Tohofuhai even lampshades this, noting that she doesn't seem to have aged at all in the last decade.
- One-Hit Kill: Her blows are so strong that they tear through people's bodies like tissue paper. Kahlua is one of the only characters shown to survive them, though she coughed up blood. The other survivors being Akasha and Ling-Ling, who each got sliced in half at the waist. But since Akasha is an ultra-powerful Shinso vampire and Ling-Ling is already dead, that's not enough to take them out.
- Alucard, or his Combat Tentacles to be more accurate, also survived the attack, and instantly regenerated after being hit with it.
- Our Vampires Are Different
- Pettanko: And apparently sensitive about it, too.
- Pet the Dog: Not that it would stop her from killing them, but she does care about her family.
- Red Baron: The Black Devil.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Unlike Moka who is a Friendly Neighborhood Vampire, Akuha is not a good guy.
- Sadistic Choice: Imposes one on Moka and Tohofuhai: Surrender or your loved ones die.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful: She tells a mook that she'll decapitate him if he touches Moka again. He and his friends are frightened... until she turns her back and they go back to fawning over her.
Miyabi Fujisaki
Head of Fairy Tale Sub-Division One which Hokuto & Kiria are in.
- A Father to His Men: He apparently cares for his teammates, like when he orders Kahlua to withdraw from battle, realizing that she was about to collapse from her injuries.
- Affably Evil
- Arch Enemy: To Mizore.
- Badass in a Nice Suit
- Enemy Mine: Stops Kiria from slicing Kurumu to ribbons and even promises Mizore that he's not going to hurt her. For now.
- Genius Bruiser
- Kick the Dog: Pinning Mizore to the ground, kissing and groping her. When she cries, he goes, "Get over yourself, bitch!" If Kurumu received that treatment it'd be an outright Moral Event Horizon, as hurting a succubus's heart at the level he hurt Mizore's can kill the succubus in question.
- Made of Iron: He shrugs off Tsukune knocking him through a wall.
- Sadistic Choice: Ordered the Yuki-Onna village to give him Mizore as his wife/sex slave, or else he would have Fairy Tale level the village.
- Stay in the Kitchen
- Wife Husbandry: What he planned to do to Mizore.
Gyokuro Shuzen

- Fantastic Racism: Wants to wipe out humanity.
- Hot Mom: Evil? Yes. Gorgeous? Very much. And she's Kokoa and Kahlua's to boot.
- Lady of War
- Our Vampires Are Different
- Power Limiter: If we assume the Creepy Cool Crosses she wears are like Kahlua's, she wears one in her hair, and many more around her neck. If that's the case, it's absurd to imagine just how much power she's holding back!
- Sensor Character: Said to be the very best, she can detect every presence in the Fairy Tale base and discern abstract things like distaste.
- Super Strength
- The Woman Behind the Woman: Gyokuro wasn't introduced until more than a dozen chapters after Akuha, who was strong enough to take down the entire Huang Family minus one man, and that man was Toho-freakin'-Fuhai. To summarize, Akuha is an established Badass, and Gyokuro is the one she answers to!
- And as it turns out, she answers to the Masked King.
The Masked King
True ruler of the Miao Family. And Fairy Tale.
- All-Encompassing Mantle
- Bad Boss: Brutalizes his subordinates and planned to kill Xia-Long whether he was loyal to the cause or not.

Other Characters
Tsurara Shirayuki
Voiced by: Yuko Minaguchi (JP), Cynthia Cranz (EN)

- Cold Sniper
- Crazy Prepared: Had a Map of the Palace were Mizore was being held just in case Tsukune and his harem went to her to talk to her about saving Mizore from a Arranged Marriage as well has a Wall of Guns to arm them for their attempt to save her daughter.
- Generation Xerox: In the Season 2 anime, you find out her and Ageha had a similar dynamic to Kurumu and Mizore's anime counterparts.
- Hot Mom: Tsukune calls her Mizore's twin. This may also be because, when first seen, she was peering at him from around a corner, very like the way Mizore does.

- Mama Bear
- Oral Fixation Fixation: Just like her daughter, she keeps something in her mouth to stay cool.

Tsukune's cousin, older than him by two years. The two grew up together due to their families living in the same area.

Marin Kawamoto
- Broken Bird: Had to watch Kamiya murder her husband in front of her.

- Smoking Is Cool
- Voluntary Shapeshifting

Alucard
An ancient vampire that's better described as an Eldritch Abomination. Tried to destroy the human world, but was defeated and sealed away by Akaha, but he was too powerful to kill. Was reawaken by Moka's shinso blood, and Akasha had to sacrifice herself to re-seal him. Fairy Tail plans to release the seal on him and use to destroy the human world.
- Ambiguous Gender: One could not tell his gender if he weren't referred to as a "he".
- Bigger Bad: Is a Sealed Evil in a Can, but is indirectly responsible for the current story arc.
- Combat Tentacles
- The Dreaded: Outside of Fairy Tale, the entire cast is terrified of him and seems to imply that he's a menace to both humans and ayashi.
- Eldritch Abomination: The only thing he has in common with a tradition vampire is sucking blood. Appearance, he's a Godzilla sized insect-like creature with a head like Xenomorph with a huge amount of tentacles of varying sizes (ranging from the size of ropes in terms of width to being the size of trees) that all have mouths full of teeth.
- Kaiju: In terms of size, he qualifies.
- Our Vampires Are Different
- Name's the Same: Has nothing to do with Alucards from Castlevania and Hellsing, though he may possibly be just as scary as the latter.
- Sealed Evil in a Can
- ↑ okay, so the scanlation read "tits" instead of "breasts", but still, same difference
