Its body is silver, with two short arms, palms the size of a baseball, and a scope protruding from the left side of its head. Its face is represented by a black screen displaying two blue circles for eyes by default.

Despite being a robot, Andy is shown to be capable of emotion and attachment to some extent. It cheerfully welcomes Empress and her group when they meet, expresses fear in a humorous way when the others think of breaking it apart, and is initially reluctant to search up information on the Colonel behind his back when asked to do so by Monica Kaburagi . It also has some understanding of ethics and morality, explaining the trolley problem to Empress and how Artemis responded to the problem.
Andy collects numerous items that have been thrown away, such as ruined teddy bears, and gradually fixes them over time, forming what it calls its "family". It even gave a name to a stray infantry drone from the Unmanned Forces that it considered friendly, calling it "Thomas". Andy is particularly fond of baseball and hopes to form a team with its "family".
Due to Andy's limited AI, it has not been hacked by the Unmanned Forces and remains offline from their network of electromagnetic waves, allowing Andy to act of its own accord. It occasionally stutters in its speech and is considered to be quite archaic by the standards of the present time.

Major Bolt joined Empress and the Colonel as the leader of Peacebuilding Forces' reinforcement.

[3]
During the assault against the Education Institution, Bolt, in desperation, sacrificed himself by priming a hand grenade and ramming his vehicle against Smiley, leaving Empress with enough time to prepare her coil gun and take down the Education Institution's leader. [4]

Outwardly, the Colonel appears as a cold-hearted man who is willing to make sacrifices in order to accomplish his missions. [1] However, according to Bolt , he is not unfazed from witnessing atrocities committed by his enemies, but he nevertheless prioritizes duty over personal desires for vengeance to achieve greater goals. [4] This sometimes come in odds with Empress ' belief, however, as she wants to save as many people as possible, which forces him to follow her own plans as a diversion from their journey towards the Orbital Elevator .

When Dead Master was still at Lighthouse No. 8 , she wore a simple black dress, a choker, and heels. She was also shorter than Empress , whereas in the present time, she is taller than Empress due to her premature reawakening.

Main appearance Casual clothes Child form

Dead Master's personality is defined by her feelings towards Empress. When she first came to Lighthouse No. 8, she believed herself to be a demon due to being outcast by others because of the horns on her head. However, Empress thought her horns were cool instead. This kind sentiment touched Dead Master, who then saw Empress as an angel. Since then, Dead Master has been devoted to Empress, which she openly expresses from time to time. When she was brainwashed by Lunatic , her feelings for Empress were warped into a possessive and perverse desire to kill her so she can end her suffering, then die soon after so she can join Empress. Dead Master was obsessed with Empress to the point that she ignored everything and everyone else around her, unless they directly got in her way with Empress.
Deep down, Dead Master simply loves Empress. Her final words before being killed by Lunatic was her saying she loved Empress.

Empress is a white-skinned, thin girl with black hair tied up into asymmetrical twintails, the left being much longer and more voluminous than the right, and soft blue eyes. In the present day, she wears a revealing black and white uniform with orange accents, which consists of a large, wide collar, a bikini top with two white stripes on the left breast, a pair of hot pants, a holster on her right thigh, and combat shoes and gloves. Empress' appearance in the present day is due to herself reawakening from her stasis pod prematurely; her original appearance was taller with a somewhat different uniform, the lack of a holster on her thigh, and knee-high boots with blue accents. A blue flame could emanate from Empress' left eye in this form, whereas her current form is not shown with a flame in her eye. Empress regains her original appearance after entering another pod that reorganized her Hemiteos genes.
When she first came to Lighthouse No. 8 , her hair was down and she wore a plain red shirt and blue jeans. After adjusting to life at the orphanage, she tied her hair into her trademark hairstyle and wore an open black jacket with white stars on the sleeves and back, a white crop top, and hot pants.

Arrival at Lighthouse No. 8 Casual clothes Original appearance prior to 2062 Original appearance with mechanical wings; her "awakened form" [3] Appearance in the present day With poncho on After unleashing the Overdrive Key beyond its limits

Empress isn't very emotional or expressive, but she is selfless to the point of being stubborn when it comes to helping others. She values the lives of those she loves and others, and chooses to fight to protect them. Although her main goal as a Hemiteos Unit is to destroy the Orbital Elevator , she willingly chooses to lend a hand to those who need it in the moment and do whatever she can for them. Despite how hostile Strength and Dead Master initially are towards Empress when they each respectively reunite with her in the present time of DAWN FALL , Empress is not vengeful towards either of them and fights back only to defend herself.


Black Rock Shooter

Hermit was a Japanese girl with short black hair, long limbs, and firm muscles, whose outward appearance made her easily mistaken for a boy. As an Hemiteos Unit , she wore sports bra and compression shorts to maximize movement in combat. [1]

Fielded by the Peacebuilding Forces , Hermit was among the first of the Type 00 Hemiteos Unit series from Lighthouse No. 1 . The name "Hermit" was not her real name, but a codename. She made her combat debut in Algeria, where she was sent to intercept Camila and Georgius of the Chivalrous Thieves Group . Camila, who was the biggest threat to human society at that point, was no match for Hermit in close combat. With both Camila and Georgius dead, the CTG's activities came to a halt. [1]
Sometime after the CTG's collapse, Hermit was deployed in response to an assassination squad that infiltrated the Ames Research Center and assassinated Luna Griffith . She tried to capture the assassins alive, but her effort was fruitless as the assassins were equipped with suicide bombs. [2]
When Artemis went rogue against mankind and took control of the unmanned weapons from armed forces all over the world, Hermit led seven other Hemiteos Units of Lighthouse No.1 to retake Ames Research Center, which had been seized by Lunatic , Artemis's avatar. As Hermit fought through Artemis's Unmanned Forces , she attracted Lunatic's attention, and the two confronted each other. With Lunatic's Arche nanomachines that granted herself practical immortality and a property to disable Type 00 series' regeneration, Hermit fell quickly in a one-sided duel. [3]


Black Rock Shooter

Lunatic has a comparably ethereal appearance vs. the rest of the cast. She has short pale pink hair cut straight with an ahoge curled back, and bright pink eyes. Her outfit consists of a white mantelet with a pink interior, a long cape, a pink one-piece garment akin to a swimsuit with white scalloped frills, and golden ballet slippers.

On the outside, Lunatic acts pretty playful, whimsical and erratic. In truth, she is a sociopathic entity with utter disregard for life, engaging in genocidal attacks with sadistic delight. As an AI built to expand human life on other planets, Lunatic is a naturally curious individual. Lunatic loves to watch humanity and their struggles using every bit of the war she has ignited as a means to gather data.
She frequently toys with her opponents and reveals childlike excitement in the midst of battle, enjoying when her foes prove to be interesting for her. Lunatic also has shown interest to other matters outside of combat as she was entertained by Smiley , whom she kept tabs on regularly and even encouraged him on his sexual desires and plans to create a superior race of Hemiteos Unit hybrids. While fighting, she is always shown with a smile on her face, even when killing hundreds of people.
Highly arrogant because of her own strength, she loves to goad her opponents into trying further into opposing her.  Possibly because she is an AI and therefore capable of storing and process vast amounts of data, Lunatic also fancies herself very intelligent and regularly speaks how smart she is, possibly  an AI and therefore capable of storing and process vast amounts of data. She is also regularly seen with a lollipop.
Despite her excessive cruelty, Lunatic is in fact carrying out a severely warped version of her initial programming. Her purpose is to populate other stars with human life, so upon closer study of the human life, it came to a deadly conclusion: rather than adapt planets to humans, she decided that humans should be adapted to planets and, as such, engages in global manslaughter in order to eradicate the current humanity and cultivate a new species, study them, slaughter them, and repeat the process for as many times as needed until a species with her self-proclaimed desirable traits for interplanetary population is born.


Black Rock Shooter

Miya is a young girl with short brown hair and an artificial eye, while her right eye is olive green and normal. She has a braid on the left side of her hair, which matches her brother's braid. She wears a green and black jacket and pants, and black gloves and boots.
Miya's appearance is virtually unchanged fifty years later due to having become a pseudo- Hemiteos Unit fifty years prior, aside from becoming somewhat taller. She wears a white jacket and boots with a large collar around her neck.

Miya and her brother Norito lived in a fortress city located on a hill not far away from San Francisco. Sometime in 2062, the two siblings ventured out to a facility named Area X to collect water, where they encountered an amnesiac Empress at the basement. However, they were cornered by pursuing Unmanned Forces , and Miya chose to help Empress out by clearing the debris blocking her exit, who in turn rescued them with Black Trike 's assistance. A small detachment of Peacebuilding Forces soldiers soon found them in the open, and the Colonel ordered Empress to leave the siblings behind as they would be a hindrance to their operations, but Empress refused and wanted to take them home. [1]

After surviving another attack from Unmanned Forces, the siblings rode on the remaining Peacebuilding Forces' vehicle with the Colonel and drove to the fortress city. When Norito wanted to collect supplies in an abandoned hospital for the city's residents, Miya and Monica helped him out, while Empress drew nearby Unmanned Forces' attention away from them. The operation was a success, and the siblings bade farewell to Empress, Colonel, and Monica. [2]

Sometime later, Miya was kidnapped by Education Institution in a raid on the fortress city, and was sexually violated by its leader Smiley . [3] She survived the ordeal, which led to Smiley proclaiming her passing his "conformity test" for Hemiteos Unit conversion surgery. She was then sent to the laboratory for preparation, but the actual surgery did not happen as Smiley was occupied with fighting Empress, who came to avenge for those killed by the Education Institution. With Strength's help, Norito eventually found his sister, and they thanked the Hemiteos Units before parting ways once again. [4]

When the Peacebuilding Forces started their operation to take down the Orbital Elevator, Norito and Miya decided to head over to witness the battle. En route they encountered Monica, who was evacuating the area. Monica reluctantly brought Norito over to the battlefield while insisting Miya to stay behind for safety's sake. Ironically, Miya was later hit by Moon Flake bombardment, and in order to save her life from injuries, she had to be converted into a pseudo-Hemiteos Unit. 50 years later, she received the codename "Fortune" from Monica before participating in a major spaceborne counterattack operation on Artemis.

She wears a cropped top under a mid-cut black jacket with the sleeves rolled up, a pair of hot pants with two pouches on the sides, thigh-high leggings with a garter belt, and brown boots. She also wears a pair of red teardrop-shaped earrings.

Main appearance Main appearance with a respirator As an adult As an adult with a respirator

Monica proclaims herself to be a "top 5" talented system engineer and hacker, but she is indeed quite the skilled mechanic. She is passionate about machines, and she chose to attach herself to Empress ' group in the hopes of being able to do maintenance on Empress and learn more about the technology she is imbued with as a Hemiteos Unit [1] . She is also somewhat libertine, initially exaggerating her interest in Empress as perverse and later casually offering to have sex with her as a change of pace to relieve stress. Monica is hardly bothered by the Colonel 's rude comments and vulgar words, and acts as something of a foil to him while keeping the group together.

Norito is a young boy with short brown hair and olive green eyes. He has a braid on the left side of his hair, which matches his sister's braid. He wears a green and black jacket and pants. He has a thin, skeletal prosthetic right arm.

Norito is very protective of his sister. [1] He is willing to prioritize his sister's safety over his own when placed in extreme danger. [2]


Black Rock Shooter

Smiley's main appearance is that of a man with a glossy appearance, as seen by the shine on parts of his body. He has brown hair, blue eyes, defined pink lips, a mouth like a ventriloquist's dummy, and is naked save for a long red cape that he wears. There is a cover where his crotch is. Two lines of English text form a cross on his torso, both appearing to read "education is the only one that makes people happy".
In his first combat form, Smiley's entire body grew in size and became a stark pink, while his own face became that of a robotic baby. In his second, more "evolved" final form, Smiley's body grew further in size, becoming tall enough to tower over Dead Master and Strength , and his skin became enveloped in a deep navy hue with glowing pink marks across his body and face. The marks across his face appear to form a demonic face.

Main appearance Without cape First combat form Second combat form Reduced to a baby doll

Smiley is the embodiment of a God complex; A sociopathic individual who is obsessed with creating a perfect race and speaks in condescending terms. He believes himself to be enlightened and superior, and with the knowledge and wisdom to guide those in need of his "education". Deeply self-aggrandized an drunk on self-worth, Smiley is openly disgusted with humanity and views them as filthy and impure inferiors, while at the same time boasting of his own ability and right to nurture his self-professed new race under his rule and leadership. He believes humans could only be true humans with education.
His most notorious characteristic is his frequent engagement in lecherous sexual acts with young teenage girls kidnapped and brought to him by the Education Institution. Smiley speaks of such depraved acts of religious zealotry as "rituals" and "sacrifices", which he deems necessary for the purpose of finding someone who could be modified into a Hemiteos Unit and serve as a proper birthing machine for his idealized race of perfected beings. As Smiley looks down on fundamentally everyone, he cares little for the lives of others besides his own and Artemis'. This extends to the girls he views as his "precious material"; he set off bombs on a train car carrying girls who were meant to be used in his "rituals" to kill them and their would-be rescuers, and many of the girls who were brought to him lay dead in his bedroom and in the lower levels of the Education Institution's transport vehicle.
Above all, Smiley was alienated from any sense of morality or redeeming qualities. Smiley was more than willing to toss his own men at Empress as he ran out of bullets on his vehicle. He was also sexually perverted on countless instances, even extending to in combat as he felt arousal when Empress shot at him. It is later revealed that the motivation behind his actions was rooted in a sense of loneliness. Being perfected beyond humanity, he had no one at his side that could stand at his side as an equal companion, and was thus influenced by Lunatic to engage in sexual activity with as many women he could, or otherwise create the perfect partner for himself. His desire to birth a perfected race was thus a means to "leave something behind" in order to fill the void within him regarding his own perfect yet unfulfilled existence.


Black Rock Shooter

Strength has tan skin, short white hair, and orange eyes. Her asymmetrical bangs cover her right eye, and a black and orange hairclip adorns the mid-left side of her bangs. Much of her outfit, which is black and gray with orange accents, appears to be falling apart or missing: she wears a dark gray hooded jacket reaching down to her calves, with large gray sleeves that cover her arms save for her fingers, and a large collar that has a sharp teeth pattern on the front covering her mouth. She also wears a tattered gray bodysuit with the leggings missing most of all, large gray combat shoes, and two olive green satchels holstered to her waist and shoulders. Her hands are thin and claw-like with orange fingers.

Main appearance Casual clothes Child form

Strength has two different personalities depending on whether she has her Gigantic Arms equipped or not. Strength's main personality, which is with them equipped, is belligerent, foul-mouthed, and rough around the edges with a tendency to be irritated. She especially makes dirty threats towards Lunatic . Strength's other personality without her Gigantic Arms is the polar opposite, in which she is fearful and cowardly, and claims to disapprove of violence. These two sides of her personality conflict with each other in Drink because you are happy , each one represented in the side with her Gigantic Arm and the side without, respectively. As her Gigantic Arms are her only means of fighting, having them with her is shown to make her far more bold than without them. [1] [3]
In the present time, Strength suffers from gaps in her memories and occasional headaches, and believes that Empress is the cause of her suffering. She wonders why she cannot help but hate Empress, which is due to the torture and brainwashing she was forced through by Lunatic.

Much like her general appearance as Black★Rock Shooter, Elishka is a pale-skinned teenage girl with black hair tied into asymmetrical twintails and wears a black jacket and pair of boots with white stripes, over her bikini top and shorts. A blue flame can ignite from her left eye.
Unlike most incarnations, Elishka's eyes do not have a concentric ring pattern, but her left eye's pupil is shaped like a star. Other unique details include blue straps on her outfit, a blue hairpin and her signature Rock Cannon having some extra details.

Because she's an amnesiac in the beginning of the game, Elishka is rather passive and says very little. With no other serious drives or desires of her own, she chooses to be solely loyal to the player.

She also had black skeletal claws and wore black knee-high boots with flaps and tall white heels. Parts of her clothing were adorned with white lines and stars. Her weapon was a large saw-like sword with a blade curved at the end and a crescent-shaped guard. It was roughly equal to her size.
In her redesign from Black Rock Shooter Visual Works 2 onwards, Black★Gold Saw retains her physical appearance, but her attire has changed. She now wears a high-cut jacket with wide sleeves adorned with stars near the hems. Her bikini top has a buckle in the front instead of a string tie, and her shorts are belted, partly unzipped, and somewhat looser fitting. She also now wears thigh-high black greaves (along with black thigh high leggings) with single thick white stripes and crescent-shaped knee guards and foot armor. Her weapon now has a distinct gold cutting edge, black saw teeth on the other edge, and a skull-shaped pommel. Black★Gold Saw is no longer featured with a flame in her right eye.

Black Rock Shooter

As an original character based on Black★Rock Shooter, Black★Rock Shooter Beast is a girl with blue eyes, black hair in uneven twintails, and a blue flame emanating from her left eye. However, her overall appearance is much different from her base concept.
Her main illustration features model information about the character, as well as a number of warning labels and symbols. Among all these, she is classified as "Model #8091 BRSB Devastator", a device manufactured by MLTW™. The first of two large warning symbols is labelled "DEVASTATIVE" with a star icon horizontally split in half and two asterisks, while the second warning symbol is labelled "IRREGULAR" with a crown icon.
BRSB's twintails are spikier and much shorter in length. A large blue crown decorates her head and appears to be formed by the flame in her eye. She wears an asymmetrical black and white tank top with five stars cut out at the neckline, one blue star on the left, and two zippers; one below her left breast and the other zipped at her right hip while exposing her left hip. Her black sleeves are wide and detached from her shoulders. Directly below her tank top is a large white and black belt with a blue buckle, and a very mini black pleated skirt. BRSB also wears spiky black thigh-high greaves with blue buzz saw-like wheels at her feet and blue spikes behind her greaves. White and black straps run down the length of her greaves, and underneath are white thigh-high leggings of a taller length. Her hands are skeletal, akin to that of Dead Master and Black★Gold Saw, and she wields a black and blue handgun named Seven-Shots in her right hand.


Black Rock Shooter

She has wavy black hair, straight bangs, and neon green eyes. She wears a black dress and a black bolero; her dress extends down to her thighs and is accented with a white ribbon on the waist. She wears a pair of leggings and black pumps, and black gauntlets on each hand. On her head are of long horns that resemble vertebrae, with each tip made out of three tips joined at the end. She also has a pair of wings which sit low on her back, that look like a thick zigzag.


Black Rock Shooter

Dragon Slayer is a girl with golden pupils and long black hair. Her black attire consists of a tilted crown with two gold ornaments, a lace dress under a bolero jacket the same length as her dress, a choker with one gold ornament, and thigh-high footwear with white cross-strings.

Her jacket has two white-and-black straps crossed over her chest and what appears to be asymmetrical sleeves; her left sleeve is long while her right sleeve is short. She wears a spiked ornament around her left elbow, a gold ring on her left middle finger, a gauntlet on her right arm, and a white belt with a gold buckle and chains attached to it around her waist.
Her weapon of choice is a large two-handed golden broadsword with a small cross-guard and a white-and-black strap wrapped around the grip.


Black Rock Shooter

The character is depicted as a girl with pink eyes and long black hair wearing an outfit that would resemble those of a French maid, such as a black dress, a white apron, and a white headpiece, which are completed with a pair of thigh-high socks and boots. Both the dress and the apron have a slit that exposes the character's left thigh.


Black Rock Shooter

Insane Black★Rock Shooter (original concept)

As an original character based on Black★Rock Shooter, Insane Black★Rock Shooter is physically similar, having black hair in uneven twintails. However, her overall appearance is much different from her base concept.
Unlike her base concept, I.BRS' eyes and flame emanating from her left eye are purple. Much of her body is encased in black armor: on the left side of her head is an asymmetrical crown-like adornment with three spikes and a white cross design. Her chest is covered with armor plating that has various designs, such as stars and a checkerboard. Hanging off the left side is a black and white strap that wraps around to the corresponding section on her back. There appears to be torn clothing beneath her chest armor. Her left shoulder has a plate similar to the crown on her head, but with one spike. In her right hand is a massive weapon larger than herself named the Insane Cannon Lance . Her exposed midriff has a single long scar running diagonally across her body. She wears black shorts with two large white belts worn in a cross-shaped manner, and black thigh-high greaves. A number of chains adorn her attire.
In her first illustration, I.BRS appears to be wearing a torn cape or the jacket of her base concept beneath her armor. In her second illustration, however, the torn cape is not present. The second illustration also depicts her with a jagged sword named the Insane Blade Claw in her left hand.


Black Rock Shooter

Strength is a dark tan-skinned girl with brown eyes and short white hair cut straight. She wears a sleeveless black zip dress with its hood up.

She also wears black thigh-high stockings with small white ribbons on the outer sides, and black shoes with large rings around her ankles. Strength has a tail that resembles a vertebrae.
Her most defining trait are her pair of massive black prosthetic mechanical arms called Ogre Arm , which are more than half of Strength's own size.

As a typical Black Star, Acta is devoid of emotions and speaks very little.


Black Rock Shooter

Nico is a round being with rabbit-like ears. They feature a darker color on top and a lighter color on bottom, with a jagged partition dividing the two halves like fangs on a mouth.
When in combat, Nico takes form of a large hammer for Acta to wield as her weapon.

Nico lacks camaraderie and views Black Stars as mere expendable tools.


Black Rock Shooter

Oruo is a humonoid being with a fixed expression on their face.

Oruo has compassion for Black Stars. Ram describes Oruo as gentle, whereas Jiou comments that their partiality towards humans clouds their judgement.


Black Rock Shooter

Ram appears as a young woman with dark curled horns on her head. She can emit a flame on her right eye.

Ram's previous life was that of a firefly that could not emit light. [1]
When Ram first wakes up in the Threshold she realizes that the world exists to harbor souls that cannot fulfill their dreams, yet she finds it meaningless. She toys with the idea of creating Black Stars from Stagnant Souls , and having them fighting each other to see if the world will undergo any changes as an experiment. However, the world does not change at all, and Ram believes her experiment becomes pointless. [1]
Ram becomes one of the leaders who oversee Black Stars' operations. She has an interest in Black Stars who gain emotions and a sense of self, and Rock is one such target, as Ram observes a visibly shaken Rock witnessing the death of a fellow Black Star whose body regresses back to a soul. [2]
Ram meets Rock in person when she rescues the Black Star from a singing Stagnant Soul's attacks. She tells Rock to fight back, warning her that the latter can risk becoming a Stagnant Soul one day if she continues to hold on to the fear as a result of the recent revelation. Seeing that Rock struggles against the singing Stagnant Soul, Ram plans to intervene again, but Rock stops her from attacking and wants to watch the Stagnant Soul to sing to the end, who then disappears as she fulfills her wishes from her previous life. [3] In the aftermath, Rock states that she wants to find her past self, and while Ram doesn't stop her from doing so, she cautions Rock that should Rock's quest in search for her previous life turns from hope to despair, Rock may end up as a Stagnant Soul. [4]
Much time has past, and one day Rock encounters a "Type D" Stagnant Soul, who offers her a glimpse of her past life via hypnosis. Rock agrees, but she falls into despair upon learning the truth and was trapped within her own consciousness. Just as the Stagnant Soul was about to lay their hands on her, Ram destroys them in time and rescues Rock. [5] However, seemingly satisfied with Rock's state in despair, Ram imprisons her in a chamber together with similar Black Stars before allowing her to break apart from within. Ram's plan does not come to fruition, as Rock overcomes her past with the aid of her partner Ron . [6]
Ram then allows Dead to fight Rock, who longs to consume her soul. Dead reveals to Rock that Ram is the one who encourages Dead to consume souls with strong will so she can one day fulfill her dream of resurrection. However, as Rock gains the upper hand, Ram cannot watch any longer, and tells Dead that she lied to her in the first place, driving Dead into despair and causes her transform into a Stagnant Soul. [7]
When Rock finally confronts Ram, the latter discloses her identity as Black Star No. 0000001, claiming that her wish is to destroy the Threshold. [8] Rock, however, believes that is not her true wish, and that Ram wants someone with a sense of ego who can also recognize her. She eventually enters Ram's inner thoughts and helps her gain the light that she yearns for as a firefly. By fulfilling the innermost wish, Ram joins the other fireflies and disappears among them. [1]


Black Rock Shooter

Ron's first known form is that of a black snake-like creature with ridge-like features protruding on the back, no discernible eyes, and a white line that runs along each side of the body. Rock can transform Ron into different kinds of weapons in combat, with cannon and sword being the most common forms, but other forms are also possible, such as a baseball bat. [1]
When Rock imagines Ron in her desired form, Ron takes form of a young handsome man wearing a black long coat with a hood reminiscent of their snake-like form's head.

Outside of battles, Ron acts as an advisor to Rock, particularly on Stagnant Soul investigation. They can be openly blunt with their feelings and opinions, and will not hesitate to make fun of others in a mocking tone. However, Ron can also have a serious side when the situation calls for one.
Despite their demeanor, Ron cares for Rock as a companion, and does not abandon her even when Nico advises them to find a more reliable replacement, or when Rock is about to break apart mentally. They are also known for bravery in battle, a factor that Rock takes into account to power her fighting strength when battling against Ram .


Black Rock Shooter

Black Gold Saw has red eyes, long black hair reaching down to her knees, and a pair of reddish-black horns on her head that curve outwards and back inwards. Her appearance takes after her original concept's redesign by huke : she wears a black high-cut jacket with wide sleeves adorned with white stars near the hems. Her open jacket reveals a bikini top with a buckle in the front. She wears large skeletal gloves, partly unzipped black shorts with a white belt, thigh-high black greaves with crescent-shaped knee guards and foot armor, and leggings of a taller height.
Her red eyes have a concentric circular pattern in them.

Next to nothing is shown of her personality, but it can be inferred that she is an adept and merciless fighter who is capable of winning in a fight against Black★Rock Shooter .

No jacket or scars With jacket and scars

Black★Rock Shooter is depicted as calm and collected. She is intently focused on bringing Yomi back to Mato's world for her human counterpart's sake, showing a benevolent side to Black★Rock Shooter.
She is able to fight evenly with Black Gold Saw and Dead Master for the most part, but she does not seem to be trying to purposely hurt the latter in their battle.


Black Rock Shooter

Dead Master has green eyes, wavy black semi-long hair brought to the front of her shoulders with straight cut bangs, and a pair of black horns on her head that resemble vertebrae curving inwards. She wears a short black dress with frills at the collar and hem, a white ribbon adorning the left side of her waist, and an open back for her two thin wings. The back of her dress is tied with a black ribbon behind her neck, and has another white ribbon on the back of her waist. She also wears skeletal gloves, black capris and heel shoes.
Her green eyes have a concentric circular pattern in them.

Dead Master is generally shown to be sinister and antagonistic, making a show of her nature with wicked smiles whenever she has the advantage over her opponent. She attacks Black★Rock Shooter when she offers her hand out to her, is amused when she decides to fight Dead Master (indicated when Dead Master sees the flame in her eye), and is undeterred when Black★Rock Shooter destroys her Skulls and her scythe. Even when Dead Master is cornered by Black★Rock Shooter, she attempts to resist her to the very end.


Black Rock Shooter

Hiro has purple eyes and, like his mother , has short brown hair. He is seen wearing a blue rugby shirt and dark green shorts. Naturally in being a little brother, his short stature is more apparent than Mato, during dinner he is sitting on cushion as to be level with the table.

Mato is an innocent first-year student in middle school. On the outside, she is outgoing and excitable, but she is very awkward around people she does not know, and on the inside, she is a sensitive and meek person. She becomes interested in Yomi after the two notice each other on the first day of school, and takes the first step to speak to Yomi and become friends with her.
However, Mato is also naïve to a fault, as she does not realize how jealous Yomi Takanashi was while she was spending more time with Yuu , or what Yomi means to her until after she disappears. Mato also does not realize the dark state Yuu appears to be in at the very end of the OVA. Nevertheless, the friendship Mato has with both girls are important to her.

Main appearance (Sailor uniform) Volleyball clothes Swimsuit Yukata Casual clothes at the movies Summer sailor uniform Winter clothes at New Year's In Dead Master's clothing

Yomi is a gentle, good-natured girl who speaks politely and calmly. Her reserved nature makes her very mature for her age, and she is much more passive in her speech and thinking compared to Mato. She is supposedly a member of a well-to-do family, staying for some time in Germany before moving to Mato's neighborhood. Yomi reveals that her frequent moving from one place to another has caused her to develop a sort of distant attitude towards others.
However, she is prone to having very dark feelings of loneliness and jealousy; she tends to keep these to herself.
She seems to enjoy volleyball, which she picks up out of a desire to be with Mato on the court.


Black Rock Shooter

Yuu has choppy tawny hair and hazel eyes. She is also very short in stature, much more so than Mato Kuroi or Yomi Takanashi , standing at about 146-150cm. She wears the same blue and white school uniform as they do and sometimes wears black leggings.

Main appearance (Sailor uniform) Basketball manager jacket

Yuu is excitable and perky; however, she is shown to have a dark side to her. While she is close to Mato, she also seems to be very possessive of her. Although she seems to want to be on good terms with Yomi, she has an awkward time hanging out with her. She acts antagonistically when it comes to Yomi after the latter disappears, and even insists to Mato to give up on trying to find her, as Yuu assumes she will come back later.


Black Rock Shooter

Black Rock Shooter

In appearance, CKRY is a pale-skinned male with orange hair and a small beard, with a braid at his chin, and a steel-black spiked ornament at mouth height. He wears a massive black-colored armored suit with yellow trimming covering his entire body, which is adorned by spikes.
Like his younger sister, SZZU , he does not display any notable ability except for his brute strength. Despite his bulky appearance, however, he is surprisingly quick on his feet.

CKRY, at first glance, appears brutish and violent; however, he is actually still a logical being and is very reasonable. He speaks in gurgles, and the only ones who seem to be able to comprehend his speech are the other Apostles. He often acts as a chariot for SZZU.


Black Rock Shooter

LLWO's appearance is of a young man with dark complexion, silvery-white hair and pale green pupils. One unusual feature of LLWO is a black lightning-bolt shaped streak of hair that goes from the back of his hair to the other side. He, like Black Rock Shooter , has a scar on his upper torso, however his is on the right.
His main weapon is a bow which utilizes a special kind of ammunition, which is attached to his trousers.
In battle, he can be considered as an all-rounder, with strong points in long-distance attacks and in melee combats alike.

LLWO is generally a quiet, lone-wolf type of alien. He has a strong sense of pride, and will devote himself entirely to any prospect. However, he is very nervous and jumpy in MEFE's presence; he will agree to practically anything she says. This has a tendency to earn him cold scorn from her.


Black Rock Shooter

MZMA has the appearance of a young man with short deep crimson hair. His outfit consists of bright red clothes that look like a trenchcoat, and a pair of gauntlets and boots with asymetrical features. On his left eye is an ornament in the shape of a spine.
His weapon is a gigantic double-edged sword with a sawtooth-shaped blade. The sword's tip can be opened at will and turns the sword into a beam cannon.

MZMA is notable for being particularly ambitious. He can be slightly reckless, however generally he is logical and is well aware of his limits. He enjoys looking for ways to have fun. He is extremely passionate about movies and is always looking for new ideas to create the "ultimate form of entertainment", however his fellow Apostles do not share his passion and thus he is often left alone in his own world.


Black Rock Shooter

MEFE's appearance is of a young woman wearing a stereotypical outfit of a magician-class character in roleplaying games. She has short light purple hair and eyes. Her outfit is made up of a black shirt tied only at the point between her breasts, and is open in the back, closing below her shoulderblades. MEFE also wears light purple leggings and two belts, one of which is attached diagonally while the other is secured horizantally. MEFE's feet are slightly obscured by a pair of accessories consisting of a piece of pleated black cloth attached just below the knee with a belt each.
She wears a simple black glove on the left hand and a glove with metallic detail on the right; her other accessories include a choker with a blue gem pendant and a pointed hat adorned with a vertebra-like design.
MEFE's weapon of choice is a large violet axe with a red tip that looks like a clenched fist with a thumbs-up.

MEFE considers herself to be a refined lady. She is seductive, and is very confident in herself. She also enjoys anything that has relation to eating; throughout her extra missions, she makes a very big deal about a "full-course meal" and a "main dish". She also seems to enjoy trying new things; in her character episode, she suggests to the other Apostles implementing some human customs into the alien lifestyle, including events such as Christmas or Halloween.
She is particularly cold towards LLWO.


Black Rock Shooter

XNFE is a girl with short pale pink hair and eyes. She wears a blouse with a large collar and has it mostly open, revealing a pair of black-and-pink striped straps which cover her breasts. She also wears a very short skirt and two pink-and-black striped belts crossed together. XNFE also wears a pair of high heeled shoes with crossed straps.
She wears a large headpiece covering much of her head, and on that headpiece are two metallic accessories shaped like bunny ears.
XNFE's arms are two unusual metallic contraptions which have three-pronged claws on each end.

XNFE is very haughty. She hates things that are cuter than her, stronger than her, or anyone that talks badly about her. However, she loves rabbits.
It is hinted that she considered fighting WRS . However, SAHA advises her against it, even if she were to neblade the White .


Black Rock Shooter

SZZU has the appearance of a young, blonde lady wearing glasses and a spiked ornament in her forehead that looks like a coronet. She wears futuristic, orange-coloured armor resembling a dress with large shoulder pauldrons and black gloves.
She does not display any particular ability in contrast to her fellow Apostles (like MZMA 's control over fire, for example), and presumably centers on close combat. She wields a large, yellow blade with a uniquely shaped hilt.

SZZU is seen as a logical, delicate young woman. She cares deeply for her brother, CKRY . She is naturally curious and caring at the same time.

In the manga, CKRY has a sister complex for her; she does not deny him.


Black Rock Shooter

Stella takes the appearance of a blue-eyed teenage, white-skinned girl with long black hair tied in uneven ponytails, with the right being shorter than the left. During battle a blue flame appears from her eye in order to increase the power of her attacks and activate abilities. Around her neck is a pair of dog tags, has a black string bikini top and she also has two scars on her midriff that resemble barcodes.
Stella has two canonical outfits throughout the course of the game.
Her first outfit is called "Normal Suit" (ノーマルスーツ, nōmaru sūtsu ), which is the default outfit for Grays. She wears a black suit with a white stripe down both sleeves for the arms (while none for the legs) and the logo of the UEF-PSS on her left shoulder. Additionally, all-black gloves can be seen at the end of the sleeves. The suit is partly opened showing certain portion of her bikini top and below the suit, various pouches affixed to it. She wears black boots with a similar pattern to her jacket and a pouch on her right thigh.
Later in the game, with the original outfit heavily damaged, she obtains new clothes called "Booster Unit" (ブースターユニット, būsutā yunitto ) from Nana Gray , which has a small jet engine affixed to a pair of mechanical wings mounted on the lower back of her opened up jacket, a pair of black bikini bottom-like shorts. This outfit grants better heat management during evasive maneuvers in-game.
She also possesses 2 weapons, the Black Blade and the ★Rock Cannon , which can both be upgraded to grant BRS more firepower and slashing capabilities. They have different designs than the previous weapons she had.

At the start of the game, Stella is rather silent and inexpressive, speaking very little aside from questions and responses. At this point, she appears to have low memory capacity, as things that are most obvious to most people (I.E., handshakes) are unknown to her and must be demonstrated for her.
As she bonds with the rest of the PSS members, she begins to become more interactive and sociable; she is noted to become more talkative with both friend and foe alike. As she develops more of her emotions, she begins to display a greater concern for her allies. She also discovers a more playful side, such as deliberately flying the Brunhilde improperly when Rothcol poked fun at her for smiling.
At the end of a mission in Moscow, she risks her life to save a can of cherries from XNFE 's attack, as it was a last memento from Rothcol.


Black Rock Shooter

Gibson is depicted as a man with mustache and a short beard in the game. In addition to a pair of round rimmed glasses, whose reflection covers his eyes, he also wears a white collared shirt with a dark necktie under an also dark colored sleeveless sweater, as well as a belt and dark trousers.
In the manga adaptation, Gibson has darker hair with an unshaven face. He also has a typical scientist appearance with square glasses, a lab coat, an unbuttoned shirt, and dark trousers.


Black Rock Shooter

WRS's appearance consists of a white and magenta futuristic outfit as a theme. She wields a giant curved scythe (as big as her) named " White Scythe " with ease. She also wields a Rock Cannon and a ' White Blade '. She has two white " wings " sticking out of her back, composed of four smaller wings each. In her EX mode, these become more apparent to angel wings, with a halo like object on the far back. These can engulf themselves in magenta flames while in battle. Both wings have a black star on them.
Parallel to BRS, her flame is on the right side rather than left and its color is magenta. Her hair is separated into two even long twintails.
Her appearance appears to be similar to the original Black★Rock Shooter , but taller and more complicated and the main colors are magenta and white, compared to Black★Rock Shooter's black and blue color theme.

WRS appears to be immune to most peoples' personal concerns, and will very easily brush off any conversation that does not interest her. However, in actuality, she is naturally very curious and has poor impulse control. She does not handle boredom very well either. She is much stronger than BRS, which makes her very confident in her abilities.


Black Rock Shooter

SAHA's appearance is of an old man wearing nothing but long jet-black pants. There are thorn-like chains across his topless chest. His head has a very short thorn across his head down to his chin just like MZMA's but it represents a crown with thorns. He also wears black gloves with several detached bracelets on his arms.
SAHA was shown to be wearing a very large battle-suit to stop Black★Rock Shooter from advancing towards White Rock Shooter , as well as to transfer Nana Gray to White Rock Shooter with XNFE.
His attacks consists of long-range and physical close-range attacks.

SAHA is generally regarded as a respectable elder. He is genuinely interested in Stella's growth as a fighter, and in his extra missions, even takes her temporarily as his own disciple in training. He is extremely devoted to WRS, and follows her will without question.


Black Rock Shooter

Arata is a teenage girl with brown eyes and brown hair ending in short pigtails. She wears a red school gym uniform with her name across the chest and white shoes with blue stripes.

She is serious about basketball and training to the point of making Mato to sprint at the same level as the other club members when she was only checking the club out. Supposedly, nobody is able to play against her one-on-one.
She appears very hyper, bold, and tomboyish. However, she is insecure. She believes she shouldn't blame anything bad on others, since that would mean they'd be made responsible of things she should carry out on her own.
She has a crush on a boy in her school . She is initially reluctant about confessing, jokingly blaming it on not having a big chest like Saya .
Her peers tend to call her "Koha'chi". She in turn refers to Yuu Koutari as "Underfoot".


Black Rock Shooter

She has the appearance of a child wearing nothing but a cloak with a hood. Her hair seems to be similar to Arata's, except with a darker shade of red. Like all of the other selves, her dark red eyes have a circular pattern in them.

She has a pensive look on her face and always shivered with fear when approached.


Black Rock Shooter

Black Gold Saw has red eyes, long black hair that fades to red as it reaches past her knees, and a pair of red horns on her head that curve outwards and back inwards. She wears a black high-cut jacket with wide sleeves adorned with red accents and white stars near the hems. Her jacket is tied in the front with a gray ribbon. She wears large red skeletal gloves, a pair of black biker shorts with a white belt, and thigh-high red greaves with crescent-shaped knee guards and foot armor. Her greaves expose the back of her knees and the base of her feet.
Her red eyes have a circular pattern with white pupils in them.

Throughout her appearances, Black Gold Saw is shown to be very dubious. Whereas most other selves fight each other on instinct for their human counterparts, Black Gold Saw does not actively participate in battles, preferring to keep a close eye from afar on activity in the Hollow World , especially on Black★Rock Shooter in particular. Whenever Black Gold Saw does make a physical appearance, she tends to disappears soon after. Her overall behavior is likely a reflection of the purpose given to her and her human counterpart, Saya, to protect the Hollow World for Yuu Koutari 's sake, who had taken Strength 's place there. Black Gold Saw's only direct standoff was against Insane Black★Rock Shooter , who was capable of threatening the Hollow World and even destroying it.
Black Gold Saw has the same love for her human counterpart that all the other selves have for their human counterparts. She has the closest bond with her human counterpart, acting almost entirely according to Saya's will to protect Yuu in the Hollow World.


Black Rock Shooter

Black★Rock Shooter has blue eyes and long dark blue hair tied into spiky asymmetrical high twintails (the right being shorter than the left). She wears a hooded black trench coat adorned with single white stripes down the sleeves, a small white star in the front, and a larger star on the back. The tails of her coat are attached by three zippers, two horizontal around the waistline and one vertical down the lower half of her coat. Her open coat reveals a bikini top and a pair of hot pants with a black and white belt worn in a cross-shaped manner over another belt. She also wears knee-high boots with white soles, the underside of which has a star on the footprint.
Her blue eyes have a circular pattern with white pupils in them.

Main appearance With hood up

As Mato's other self, Black★Rock Shooter represents her self-sacrificial personality to the extreme in the form of someone who takes the worst feelings of other people and strikes them down in cold blood. Whereas Mato sets aside her own feelings to help other people, Black★Rock Shooter stops at nothing to destroy the other selves of the people Mato comes into contact with, effectively ending the pain that those people and their other selves feel. Initially, Black★Rock Shooter reflects Mato's desire to help Yomi Takanashi become independent of her relationship with Kagari Izuriha by saving Dead Master from Chariot , though later she treats Dead Master the same as the other selves whom she stops at nothing to destroy.
Black★Rock Shooter understands her purpose as an other self very well. She believes Mato wanting to feel her own pain or claiming not to hurt people is hypocritical, because by hurting Mato to show her the pain that Black★Rock Shooter goes through on her behalf, she's only hurting herself. Nevertheless, Black★Rock Shooter has the same love for her human counterpart that all the other selves have for their human counterparts, and she vows to continue fighting and bearing pain in the Hollow World .


Black Rock Shooter

Chariot is an ashen-skinned young woman with golden eyes and long wavy blonde hair. She wears a large black spiked crown on her head, a black and white gothic-esque dress with yellow embellishments, large skeletal gloves, and black thigh-high greaves with large yellow wheels where her feet would be. Her legs are often bent and she slouches slightly in her posture, making her appear shorter than her actual height would be.
Her golden eyes have a circular pattern with white pupils in them.

As Kagari's other self, Chariot reflects many of her mannerisms, especially Kagari's initial hatred for Mato Kuroi in the real world. She has a cold gaze, is determinedly stubborn to keep things the way she wants them to be, and displays sadistic joy in brutally beating Black★Rock Shooter , but is also shown to panic when she starts losing control. Chariot also displays a silent yet apparent possessiveness over Dead Master , and even some control over her: the latter defended her and attacked Black★Rock Shooter for her, took her away to a house in the sky, and violently intercepted just before Black★Rock Shooter could reach out to Dead Master there.
She seems to be skeptical and untrusting of anyone willing to help her, though she takes advantage of the opening created by Black★Gold Saw as a last-ditch effort to stab Black★Rock Shooter. Chariot has the same love for her human counterpart that all the other selves have for their counterparts.


Black Rock Shooter

Dead Master has green eyes, wavy black long hair brought to the front of her shoulders with straight cut bangs, a pair of green horns on her head that resemble vertebrae curving somewhat inwards, and a sheer white veil that falls past her shoulders.
She wears a backless black dress with frills at the collar and hem, green and white frills at the ends of her sleeves, and a white ribbon adorning the left side of her waist. She has two thick green wings framing the back of her dress, which is tied with a green ribbon choker around her neck, and has another green ribbon on the back of her waist. She also wears large skeletal gloves with green tips, black capris with green rose-like adornments, black and green ankle ribbons, and black shoes with green heels.
Her green eyes have a circular pattern with white pupils in them. Below her eyes sits a pair of green-framed eyeglasses.

As Yomi's other self, Dead Master reflects her personal struggles in the real world, often wearing a melancholic expression on her face. In her first appearance, she is shown helping Chariot in battle by preventing Black★Rock Shooter from attacking her, but it is later revealed that she is forcefully bound by Chariot and kept away from Black★Rock Shooter's attempt to save her, representing Yomi's strained relationship with Kagari Izuriha and how she hesitates to truly be friends with Mato Kuroi because of it. Once Yomi manages to stand up to Kagari with Mato's encouragement, Dead Master breaks free from the literal chains that bound her then. Later, when Yomi's darker feelings begin to grow in the real world, Dead Master represents this by descending into a vortex of chains that gradually amasses, and emerging from the chains after her human counterpart snaps and breaks down.
Dead Master has the same love for her human counterpart that all the other selves have for their human counterparts.


Black Rock Shooter

Insane Black★Rock Shooter (TV Anime Character)

Insane Black★Rock Shooter retains much of her original concept's design while also adapting parts of her normal self's design. She has black hair in spiky, uneven twintails, her eyes and flame versus that of her normal self are purple, and much of her body is encased in black armor. On the left side of her head is an asymmetrical crown-like adornment with three spikes and a white cross design. Her chest is partly covered with armor plating that has various designs, such as stars and a checkerboard. The string of her bikini top and her torn jacket are partly visible. Hanging off the left side of her chest armor is a white and black strap that wraps around to the corresponding section on her back. Her left shoulder has a plate similar to the crown on her head, but with one spike. Her midriff is exposed and lacks the scar of her original concept. She wears black shorts with two large light grey belts worn in a cross-shaped manner, and black thigh-high greaves.
Her purple eyes have a circular pattern with black and red pupils in them, unlike all other known other selves (including herself in her normal state), who have white pupils. While her normal state as Black★Rock Shooter ignites her blue eye flame only when she has killed or is about to kill another other self, Insane Black★Rock Shooter's purple eye flame is constantly active.

Insane Black★Rock Shooter retains the personality of her normal state, but due to the immense power she has gained from going insane, she is much less affected by the pain afflicted to her, and even disregards the injuries she gives to herself, such as when she tears her arm off during her fight with Black Gold Saw and when she shoots herself in the leg to prevent Mato from hindering her. Even sustaining such severe injuries cannot stop Insane Black★Rock Shooter from pressing her assault against her enemies.
Insane Black★Rock Shooter is also notably more expressive than her normal state. She grins when she is about to strike Strength , when Mato stands up to her and brings out the ★Rock Cannon in its gatling gun incarnation, and shows surprise and fear when faced with the massive ★Rock Cannon that Mato summons. At the same time, when the battle is not particularly challenging for her, Insane Black★Rock Shooter maintains a blank expression.


Black Rock Shooter

Kagari is a girl with long, messy blond hair and hazel brown eyes. She wears a white sleeping gown. She was thought to be permanently bound to a wheelchair, despite having no actual physical disabilities. After the death of Chariot , she starts walking again. She is associated with a particular doll with brown, curly hair.
When she starts going to school, she wears the school uniform, with her hair tied with a pink ribbon in a side ponytail and clipped in the back of her hair. She is approximately 157-160cm tall.

Yomi 's childhood friend. She was thought to be permanently bound to a wheelchair and thus did not attend school. Yomi seems to be very afraid of her, but continues to communicate with her and allow her into her house.
She is unable to become friends with Mato and hates her. She is also very fond of macarons. Her obsession with Yomi is extremely possessive, and she forbids Yomi from making any friends, declaring that Yomi is "hers", and demanding that Yomi "take responsibility". According to the second episode, she has been devoted like this to Yomi ever since they were small children and was broken when Yomi went overseas for a few years due to her father's job. She is not subtle about her like or dislike of someone, offering Mato what she calls the "dirty colors" of her macarons and giving her an ugly doll. She has a doll named Mary, which she sometimes talks to. The second episode reveals that she is not actually disabled, but she seems to have caused herself to believe that she is. She also has a fear of the outside world.
After she started to walk again, she becomes a girl that excels in academics and has a lot of friends. As a result of having her Other Self killed, she forgot most of her relationship with Yomi and aims to become independent of Yomi's attention as well.


Black Rock Shooter

Mato is a black-haired school girl with blue eyes. She has short, spiky pig tails and wears a school uniform consisting of a white shirt, a yellow blazer with blue adornments, and blue pleated skirt, along with white socks and brown school shoes. She has a band-aid on the outer side of her right thigh.

Mato is a kind, optimistic, and deeply caring person to a fault. If she has a problem with someone, but can remember the good in them, she believes they can always work it out by talking to each other. Saya Irino describes Mato as the kind of person who has never hated anyone or had anyone hate her. Mato herself dislikes the idea of getting upset over small things or hating other people, but the fault of this is that Mato doesn't want to be hurt or hated by anyone. Yuu Koutari believes that Mato doesn't have the capacity for hatred, jealousy, or self-consciousness because she cares more about other people than she does about herself, pushing her own feelings aside to focus on helping people. True to her kind nature, Mato believes what Black★Rock Shooter and the other selves go through on their human counterparts' behalves is wrong, though relents once she learns they fight because they love their human counterparts.
She has a tendency for philosophical musings, and often remarks on some quality that she sees in the world around her to no one in particular (for example, she remarks on the sky as "light blue" and a flower as "blooming"). She is also slightly perverted, remarking on the length of her schoolmate's skirt as "short".
Mato is very fond of the book The Little Bird and Her Million Colors and reads it repeatedly, though she herself is unsure of why she is so drawn to the little bird in the story. Her fondness of the book was what led to her being interested in Yomi Takanashi after learning of her last name.


Black Rock Shooter

Saya is a black-haired woman with brown eyes and a beauty mark on the lower left of her face. Official art depicts her with casual clothing, wearing a pink and brown jacket and an armband with a bear design in her left arm. She wears blue leggings. Her height is 167cm.
When she was younger, she had longer hair more akin to Black Gold Saw. She wore a sailor school uniform that resembles the school uniform seen in the OVA , with a red tie instead of a blue one.

She initially appears as a calm and gentle person, and the go-to person to talk about problems. She is fond of coffee.
However, this is a facade. Saya is manipulative, as she orchestrates Yomi's breakdown and calls it a success. She is spiteful, demonstrated by her offering coffee with sugar at Yomi's request only for her to shamelessly ignore it. She is also mocking shown by the way she makes fun of Yomi's meek personality in private.
She is attentive to the whereabouts of the other world, as Mato and Yomi's names are circled in her student list. She senses when Black★Rock Shooter beheads Arata´s hooded figure . Eventually it is revealed that she first merged with her other self to protect the other world and Strength .


Black Rock Shooter

Strength has orange eyes, tan skin, and short white hair above her shoulders. Much of her head and face, save for her eyes, is obscured by a black hood with a collar that covers her mouth, decorated with a white flame pattern and matching zipper. She also wears a black dress with a white rim, white thigh-high stockings, and metallic black shoes. Past her shoulders are her Ogre Arms , a pair of mechanized arms with massive hands that are about half her size in length. On her lower back is a large, black scorpion-like tail that also appears to be mechanical. In Let's Go Beyond This World , after losing her Ogre Arms, she is shown to have normal arms with black elbow gloves.
Her orange eyes have a circular pattern with white pupils in them. In Make a Wish on a Star Racing Through the Darkness , it was revealed that Strength's eyes were originally a grey color before she gained emotions, after which her eyes turned orange.

In the past, Strength was no different from any of the other selves who fought each other purely on instinct, without any emotions of their own. When Yuu connected with Strength for the first time, she sensed how much her human counterpart was suffering, and it terrified Strength to the point that it forced her to feel emotions. Overwhelmed by the sadness she felt from this, Strength wanted to let herself die so she could take Yuu's pain with her, but was instead made to switch places with Yuu in the real world.
Strength's personality in the present time, as seen while she has taken Yuu's place, is that of a cheerful and supportive friend, especially to Mato Kuroi , whom she has been close friends with ever since kindergarten (according to Mato's memories). She teases her from time to time, especially poking fun about her friendship with " her tiny bird " at the beginning of the series. Mato was Strength's first and best friend, and the one who had taught her how beautiful the real world could be. She agreed with how Mato saw what the other selves go through for the sake of their human counterparts as wrong, which also showed how empathetic Strength was to the other selves suffering in their constant fighting. It was for this reason that she sent Mato's consciousness to the Hollow World to help her save Yomi. Strength is also close with Saya Irino , who was friends with Yuu in her youth and the only person in the real world who knew that Yuu and Strength had switched places.
Strength has the same love for her human counterpart that all the other selves have for their human counterparts. She has demonstrated this love the most with Yuu, whom she comforts and reassures that she would find friends and be supported by Saya and Mato in the real world, which she knew was wonderful. She tells Yuu this because she would never lie to someone she loves.


Black Rock Shooter

Yomi has green eyes and wavy dark green hair brought to the front of her shoulders. She wears green-rimmed eyeglasses and a school uniform consisting of a white shirt, a yellow blazer with blue adornments, and blue pleated skirt, along with white socks and brown school shoes. In later episodes, she cuts parts of her hair off to a shorter length and braids her hair with red ribbons after.

Yomi is typically reserved and polite. She is welcome to the kindness and friendship that Mato Kuroi offers to her, but hesitates to reciprocate so because of her strained relationship with Kagari Izuriha holding her back. Even so, she wanted to be with Mato more than anything, and she became as important to as Yomi was to Mato. However, she slowly became jealous of Yuu Koutari being a much closer friend to Mato than she ever will be. Saya Irino only incited more darker feelings within Yomi by telling her nothing would change if she wasn't around.
Despite how strained their relationship was in the present time, Yomi truly did love Kagari, but she couldn't forgive herself for Kagari getting hurt because of her. As a result, Yomi shut herself off from making another friend until she met Mato. With Mato encouraging her, Yomi was able to stop pitying Kagari and persuaded her to change and come to school with them, maintaining the fact that she would always be friends with Kagari no matter what.
She has an interest in arts and crafts, such as painting and crocheting chain bracelets. Like Mato, she also likes the book The Little Bird and Her Million Colors .


Black Rock Shooter

Bearing a slight resemblance to Yomi, her daughter, she is a pale-skinned female with black hair pulled into a ponytail.

She appears to pity Kagari similar to the way Yomi does, though until Mato pointed it out she never pitied her own daughter. She made a few brief appearances and talked with Mato while Kagari was in the hospital for twisting her wrist. She is greatly worried when Yomi becomes more and more unstable. It is believed that she blames Mato, yelling at her when she announces her name.


Black Rock Shooter

Yuu has hazel eyes and short tawny hair above the shoulders. She is very short in stature. She wears an orange hairclip on the left side of her bangs in the present day, whereas in the past, she wore a gray hairclip instead.

Throughout most of the anime, Yuu is shown to be a cheerful and supportive friend, especially to Mato Kuroi , whom she has been close friends with ever since kindergarten. She teases her from time to time, especially poking fun about her friendship with " her tiny bird " at the beginning of the anime. Yuu is fond of skipping classes in favor of drinking coffee at Saya Irino 's consultation room. She secretly also knows of the Hollow World and its inhabitants very well, and sympathized with how much the other selves suffered on behalf of their human counterparts, though also understanding how necessary it was all the same. However, this personality was actually that of Strength's, who had switched places with Yuu prior to the events of the anime.
The real Yuu Koutari was a stoic and silent person who was constantly hurt by bullying at school and a neglectful family at home, though she never let on how much pain she was really in, not even to her only friend, Saya. The real Yuu had also known of the Hollow World, its inhabitants, and her own other self, Strength. Though her silent endurance made her seem strong, Yuu admitted she herself was not strong, but she believed she could bear the pain she went through in her life at school and at home knowing that her other self was fighting and taking that pain for her.
In the Hollow World, once it was revealed the real Yuu took the place of Strength and vice-versa, Yuu unleashed how truly angry and upset she was at everything she had suffered through in the real world, retorting at Strength trying to reach out to Mato within Black★Rock Shooter for words she viewed as hypocritical. However, Yuu also deeply feared going back to the real world and not having Strength to take the pain on her behalf because she didn't believe that she would find support in anyone else.

Her bust size is average for her age, but she used pads in an attempt to ensnare Kamito Kazehaya and hide the blood stone.

Fianna has a teasing and playful nature. As the one who knows Kamito Kazehaya 's secret from the start, she uses that to tease him a lot, but she's very susceptible when she's the one being teased and she is also more naive than she appears.
She is also deeply in love with Kamito since they were 13 as Kamito saved her from a monster in the woods near the Blade Dance.

Blade Dance of the Elementalers

Greyworth has an appearance of a bewitching and overall intimidating woman with a carnivorous vibe and aura about her. She also has a curvaceous and buxom body perceiving it as a voluptuous stature.
She possesses ash-blonde hair extending up to her hips and also possesses grey-colored eyes with a monocle on her left eye.

Kamito Kazehaya comments that Greyworth is the kind of person who will never tell a lie, but she will also never tell the entire truth either. This makes her a tricky person to read.
Like Restia Ashdoll , she is somewhat of a tease towards Kamito, however, unlike Restia, who does it because of genuine feelings and a longing towards him, Greyworth simply loves to see his reaction. She took this so far as to make a half joking proposition to him after losing her powers, noting she "no longer needed to keep her purity".
She appears to care quite a bit for others, such as when she defended Claire Elstein and when she took Kamito in, note that this is after the latter tried to kill her.
Her training methods are noted to be extremely harsh, and Kamito, who already had some dislike of her in the first place, recalls them as being the main reason he does not like her company very much now. On that note she appears to have something of a soft spot for Kamito, and knows much of the circumstances which plagued his early life better than most.
Superbly confident, she's been rendered utterly silent only once when Kamito, in a state of amnesia, noted how he couldn't believe someone would insult someone as beautiful as she is when she told him he would always call her a witch or a hag before.
She takes her duties reasonably enough as director, and will act to deal with problems which are occurring in her academy, however she has only acted directly once, and that was when one of her own former students was giving out illegal cursed powers to the schools students.


Blade Dance of the Elementalers

In the anime, he has reddish hair.

Jio has a haughty and arrogant personality claiming that he is the right successor of the Demon King. He is shown to be extremely jealous of Kamito due to him being the Demon King's successor and is easily angered when people points out about it, leading him to become somewhat deluded and crazy.


Blade Dance of the Elementalers

In his younger days, he was considerably shorter apparently only reaching Restia 's height. By the time he became Ren Ashbell, his hair had grown long after escaping the Instructional School. Apparently, in female clothing, no one would even suspect he was male; Greyworth took exceptional notice of this, mistaking him for a girl when they first met (which was him tried to assassinate Greyworth), and even proceeding to disguise "him" further as her maid for a time, during which his already long hair was managed by Greyworth herself.
When he became Ren Ashbell (and at Elemental Festa as Himeragi E. Arsage) at age 13, he had gorgeous long black/brown hair which extended down to his hips, mysterious dark eyes, and a dignified lovely face. He stood roughly at Restia's height (having not grown an inch) and dressed in a foreign-styled attire with a large slit inserted at the edge of the pants. Ironically, his "beauty" as Ren Ashbell had also become something of a legend; this was part of his reason for trying to cover up his past as the sheer horror of having men approach him at the dance party after he won the Blade Dance to try and woo "her" is a traumatic memory.
In the present time, he has shorter hair and often wears a black leather glove over his left hand to disguise Restia's spirit seal. Initially, he had a gruff appearance due to his travels. After enrolling, he wears a white custom-made Areishia Spirit Academy uniform especially prepared by Greyworth herself (as he is the only male student, there is only one type of this uniform). When he became an impromptu member of the Sylphid Knights , he wears a badge on the collar of his uniform with the image of the Wind Elemental Lord on it. He is now exceptionally tall, especially compared to Restia, who three years ago was his equal in height. Apparently, he can still pass as a girl even after maturing physically as a male. In fact, he managed to sneak right into the Divine Ritual Institute , which only Princess Maidens may enter and walk around without arousing any kind of suspicion whatsoever.
