Voiced by: Megumi Hayashibara (Double Impact) Kyoko Hikami (1995 Fandisc), Yuko Miyamura (1996 Drama CD), Houko Kuwashima (Survivor 1 & 2)

• Deadpan Snarker: Mostly towards people who rub her the wrong way or mess with Chigusa.
• Expy: Keiji Mutoh & Megumi Kudo
• Finishing Move: Frankensteiner, Shining Wizard
• Hair Decorations: Her omnipresent hair ribbon
• In-Series Nickname: "Mutome"
• Intelligence Equals Isolation: Intelligent and talented, but something of a loner with few friends besides Chigusa before getting into wrestling.
• Lovely Angels: With Chigusa
• Masked Wrestler: If Chigusa is chosen as the protagonist in V2, Megumi follows her to Europe while "disguised" as the mysterious masked wrestler Bushido. Chigusa sees through the masquerade almost instantly.
• Mini-Dress of Power: Coupled with Too Many Belts in her Survivor redesign.
• The Natural: She wasn't even planning on becoming a wrestler and just followed Chigusa to the SNJ tryouts more or less on a whim after meeting her. She passed with flying colors.
• Nice Girl
• Odd Friendship: Quick to speak her mind, enjoys great natural talent, and is something of an aloof loner... Completely opposite of her best friend Chigusa.
• Red Baron: "Genius Princess of Solitude"
• Romantic Two-Girl Friendship: With Chigusa
• The Tease: Gives a fake love confession to the President in her second private event in Survivor 2 just to see how he'll react.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: It's heavily implied that she condiders Chigusa to be her romantic partner to the point of commenting a wedding dress wouldn't look good on Chigusa because she's furious that one day her best friend would marry and leave her.

Chigusa Yuuki/Valkyrie Chigusa/Yawara

Voiced by: Sakiko Tamagawa (Double Impact) Haruna Ikezawa (1995 Fandisc), Kae Araki (1996 Drama CD), Ayako Kawasumi (Survivor 1 & 2)

• The Ditz: A bit.

• In-Series Nickname: "Chidane"^[3]

• Nice Girl
• Odd Friendship: Is obedient, an extremely hard worker, and gets along well with many different kinds of people... Almost totally opposite of her best friend Megumi.

• Red Baron: "The Artifice-less, Perfect Beauty"
• Romantic Two-Girl Friendship: With Megumi
• Spirited Competitor
• You Gotta Have Purple Hair

Hikaru Ogawa/Flora Ogawa

Voiced by: Masako Takagi (Double Impact,) Chieko Honda (Survivor), Ryoka Yuzuki (Survivor 2)

• Badass Bookworm
• Crazy Prepared: She's aware that the shelf life of a pro wrestler is rather short, so whenever she's not training or in the ring, she's studying for qualification exams. What kind of qualification exams? All of them.
• Expy: Yoshinari Ogawa. The fandom seems to think she's also got quite a bit of Ami Mizuno in her, to the point where some fans just out and out refer to her as Ami-san.

• Lovable Nerd
• Meganekko: While studying.
• Nerds Are Sexy
• Red Baron: "Battle Philosopher"

Shinobu Echigo/Justice Echigo

Voiced by: Shiho Niiyama (Double Impact) Machiko Toyoshima (1995 Fandisc), Ai Maeda (Survivor), Shizuka Itou (Survivor 2)

• Badass Longcoat: Her entrance attire includes one.
• Berserk Button
• Determinator
• Expy: Shiro Koshinaka.
• Finishing Move: Enzuigeri
• Kid Samurai: A nearly religious kendo practicioner. She also tends to talk big without much experience to back it up.
• Hachimaki
• Lawful Stupid: Takes it upon herself to zealously "enforce morals" amongst the other girls and will lecture them for even the smallest perceived transgressions. This also tends to lead her to rebel if she feels that the organization she's with isn't up to her standards.
• Red Baron: "Steel Defense"
• Sarashi: Her preferred undergarment. The President walking in on her training with nothing on over it triggers Tsundere outbursts in her Survivor 2 private events.
• Stone Wall: Her starting defensive stats are always moderately high... At the cost of her offense and speed being much poorer than those of her contemporaries.
• Suicidal Overconfidence: Very, very prone to this.
• Super Drowning Skills: Discovered by the President during her vacation scene in Survivor when he playfully pushes Shinobu into the water, only for her to struggle and sink. After he manages to pull her back to shallow water, she calls him a murderer and asks if he was trying to get her killed.
• Tsundere
• Woman in White
• Wooden Katanas Are Even Better: She's always seen carrying her shinai around during her entrances.

• Big Ol' Eyebrows: Her Charm Point.
• Boobs of Steel
• Dojikko
• Expy Takayuki Iizuka

• Plucky Girl
• Red Baron: "German Suplex Girl"
• Took a Level in Badass: In V2, she was an unassuming early game opponent. Come V3, she's managed to capture the Asian Heavyweight Championship and become a "Wake-Up Call" Boss.

Rei Tomizawa (Real name: Reiko Tomizawa)

• Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Could be considered the "Brains" amongst her group of friends with Chizuru and Cutey Kanai.
• Cosplay Otaku Girl: To the point where her ring attire features visible Shout Outs to Sailor Mars in 2 (where her entrance attire is a Miko getup in reference to Mars' civillian identity as one), as well as 3 and Special (where her in-ring costume is almost an exact copy of Mars' combat Sailor Fuku).
• Dojikko

Alice Smirnov/Yuri Smirnov

Voiced by: Hiromi Yanase (Double Impact), Umeka Shouji (Survivor 1 & 2)

• Woman in White

Vicious Black

• Cavalier Competitor
• Finishing Move: Frankensteiner, Tomahawk Missile (Missile Dropkick), Chokeslam, Splash, Flying Shoulder Tackle, Tomahawk DDT
