While she admires Nausicaä's pacifist ideals, she sees herself as inescapably destined to walk the path of bloodshed. She cares deeply for the men under her command, but is portrayed as brutal and harsh to her enemies.

After San's attack on Irontown , Ashitaka has a slash scar on his left cheek where San slashed him with her dagger.
His curse often manifested as a glowing purple and black aura on his right arm. This signified his anger or the anger of those around him, and occasionally caused the muscle mass of his arm and body to momentarily increase, and cause him serious pain. The aura itself often appeared similar to the demon curse that initially infected his body.

His affinity for peace is portrayed several times throughout the movie. One example of his tendency to only fight as a last resort is his interruption of San and Eboshi's fight. Even though both are attacking him, he initially tries to convince them that hatred is blinding them, and when he's further attacked, he dispatches them in a non-lethal manner.
On top of that, after stating that he will leave and take "the wolf girl" with him, he is brutally shot in the back by one of the villagers, to which he simply moves on, without retaliation, further displaying no interest in actions that would lead to continued violence.

Exposed to the corruptive thoughts and greed of the workers, he quickly grew to encompass their personalities, hoping that his endeavor to be like those around Chihiro would eventually garner her affection for him. While this ultimately brought upon the opposite effect, Chihiro was somewhat true to No-Face after she invited him and accepted help from him.
No-Face becomes obsessed with Chihiro, and wants to see her and her only. He becomes extremely volatile after being fed the River Spirit 's emetic dumpling by Chihiro, and while fleeing from the obviously now-hostile spirit, Chihiro calls out to him twice to follow her. She accepts him as a co-journeyer into the train ride on her way to Swamp Bottom after he calms down and is out of the Bathhouse. At this stage, No-Face is no longer aggressive and is quite docile, even obeying Chihiro's orders, like "sit" and "behave yourself."
As a monstrous, out-of-control being, No-Face exhibits all the negative traits of those he had swallowed (most significantly, Aogaeru ), becoming a brash, arrogant, loud, and selfish creature whose obsession with Chihiro proved troubling for everyone around it.
Towards the end of the film, No-Face meets with Zeniba , another witch who works alone, in contrast to Yubaba , who runs her bathhouse with a complex hierarchy. Perhaps attempting to match the rules of the new tiny society, No-Face starts spinning and knitting and appears proficient in the job. Happy with his new environment, he accepts Zeniba's proposal to stay with her as an apprentice.

In Japanese culture, cats are usually depicted with feminine voices, whereas in American culture, their voices are more gender-specific. A number of Hartman's lines exist where Jiji simply says nothing in the original (such as in the scene where Jiji approaches Lily along the top of the wall). Jiji's personality is notably different between the two versions, showing a more cynical and sarcastic attitude in the 1998 English version, as opposed to cautious and conscience-like in the original Japanese.

Not to mention, hedonism is a common trait among higher vampires. A contributing factor to him being a lazy hedonist is his father Draus , who spoilt him rotten because of his frail body and his status as the only son, which has resulted in him believing that he could be forgiven and beloved so easily and thus becoming the slob he is today.

Handa is a reliable and competent civil servant with high physical skills and usually finishes his tasks accurately and efficiently. He's serious about his job as a part of the Vampire Countermeasure Division that he doesn't get fired despite his known and on-going harassment on Ronaldo . Yet, despite his hatred for the vampire hunter, Handa never makes up anything false about Ronald purely because his mother taught him that it's not right to speak ill of someone without fully knowing them nor criticize someone with falsehoods without any solid evidence. He is an honorable anti(-Ronaldo).
He very much loves his mother Akemi Handa and is seen to be gentle and tactful around her. However, the same can't be said to his interactions with any other women. Mostly with Hinaichi , where we see him make fun of her for having a boob-expander machine that Odd Creature gave which cause Hinaichi to throw him out of a window, and the other time where he stuck his hand to her chest to grab Draluc who was able to successfully transform into a cute bat. He is also a huge jerk that is not above using other people like his juniors to do his dirty work, such as Sagyou who is mostly his most commonly chosen victim. However, as the series progresses, he eventually tones down and acts more civil with other people as long as they're not Ronaldo, despite still taking advantage of Sagyou frequently.
Akemi discourages lying. Thus, he is a terrible liar and will say the most absurd things over another for the sake of supporting his lies. It stresses him to a point of sweating bullets, becoming more frantic the longer it goes on, and eventually developing a fever once over.

Unbeknownst to him, his excessive praise of Komari fuels jealousy in Count Bluenight, leading to even more suffering for Millicent. This inadvertently triggers Millicent's descent into darkness, ultimately resulting in Komari's prolonged seclusion.

She wears a red fluffy collar with a purple flower and 1 yellow stripe. She also wears a red dress with a white plunging neckline bra and a purple flower tilted to the right. She completes her outfit with black heels.

Karen is a benevolent and very intelligent ruler. She has no tolerance for her subordinates' treacherous behavior and will revoke their positions, such as in the case of Odilon Metal for his arrogance. She is also a bisexual pervert, often teasing Komari by intending to give her a breast massage.
With Komari, Karen is always one step ahead of her enemies who foolishly dare to challenge her Empire. For example, she considers Count Madhart Bluenight a fool for relying on sheer power instead of love, which led to Gerra-Aruka's downfall.
Karen is very forgiving, as seen when she forgives Sakuna for Metal's betrayal. She is also generous, offering Millicent a chance to atone for her sins by becoming a member of the Seven Crimson Lords the leader of the 5th Unit in exchange for her parole.


Karla Amatsu has blunt bangs, cheek-length sidelocks, and straight hair that falls to mid-back. Her hairstyle complements her kimono attire, and she has purple eyes.
she wears a white kimono with a large red ribbon around the middle that extends down to the skirt, featuring a small yellow ribbon on the red one. Her sleeves have bells, and her shoulders are exposed with one red lace. She also wears a white cape connected to the kimono, with a light purple interior.

She likes to use the food she makes as a bribe for simple favors. It does help that the pastries she makes are really good. Unfortunately, despite her bribes, people can easily turn against her when others also bribe them to turn against her. Such as Koharu who would sell her master out for some food whenever she tries to hide from her work and responsibilities
She will not let anything get in the way of her dream of becoming a patisserie and is a major reason for why Komari has so much respect for her. In volume 4, she is repeatedly told to give up on her dream, and to focus on becoming the Goddess of the Heavenly Paradise, but she never yields. She gets publicly humiliated by Karin in front of a crowd of thousands and on live television and instead of backing down uses it as a reason to fight back against her. When it is discovered she opened her own shop without a permit, her grandmother doubles down and tells her to stop this and instead focus on becoming the Goddess. When she refuses, her grandmother resorts to using force. Even when she was being beaten into a bloody pulp and with her grandmother ready to kill her with her weapon, she still refuses to back down.
Normally she's really weak, and can be a burden in a fight as she has no offensive power of her own. She often requires someone like Koharu to fight for her, and even watch out for her safety. However, there are also times when her power is incredibly useful
She's scared of fighting because she has no real power of her own unless her Core Implosion is unlocked, but her cowardly behavior is oddly cute and adds to funny moments. For example, when Villhaze and Nelia start arguing about where to celebrate Komari's birthday, she shyly suggests the Heavenly Paradise, only to immediately try to run when the two decide to drop all pretense and decide to go to war with one another


Lingzi Ailan has long green odango-style hair, with her bangs braided with gold metal bands. The back of her hair cascades like a peacock tail.

Lingzi Ailan is often compared to a peacock, embodying elegance, beauty, and grace. Despite her serene and passive demeanor, she has endured a tumultuous personal life shaped by political machinations. Her father, indifferent to politics, arranged her marriage to the Grand Chancellor Shikuai Gudu to secure his position as the next Tianzi, despite Lingzi’s personal detestation of him. This engagement was annulled by the end of Volume 7 , only for her father to then arrange her marriage to Komari due to the public's support for Komari as the new Tianzi. Though initially resistant, Lingzi becomes Komari's legal wife, but the relationship is yet to blossom into genuine romance.
Compared to Vill and Sakuna , Lingzi struggles to be direct about her love for Komari. Her attempts to be more assertive are often thwarted, typically by Vill or Sakuna. Lingzi's love for flowers makes her a talented gardener, and she later opens a gardening shop in the Mulnite Empire's capital to stay close to Komari. Despite being legally married to Komari, Lingzi takes a slow and steady approach, hoping to build a close friendship and eventually win Komari’s heart. Her passive and unassuming nature prevents her from making overt advances, contrasting sharply with Vill's forcefulness. Even Meihua, her servant, has to encourage her to take more decisive action in her pursuit of Komari.

She does have a sense of caution when she is not strong enough to fight the Empress, Karen Helvetius .
Deep down however, Millicent was shown to be very miserable for all the torment that she endured by her father. Her actions were revealed to be very tragedy when she was raised by her abusive father and her ruthless mentor as well abandoned by her father for being weak and useless, causing her personality to be severely wrapped.
Before her seemingly death, Millicent does have a sense of honor when she is ready to allow herself to be "killed" by Komari when she unleashed her true powers. She even shown remorse for her actions when accepting herself that she is weak as well smiled and shown in tears. After her defeat by Komari, she became much honorable when she tells Sakuna if her task to kill Odilon Metal was difficult, she must offer her blood to Komari as well her hatred towards Komari became lesser extent. Despite her hatred, she helped Komari just to get revenge on her father, Madhart for his arrogance. Hearing her father was killed, she is glad of hearing the event and doesn't shown any sympathies for her worthless excuse for a parent of his well deserved fate when her father means nothing to her from all the torments she endured from her father's tremendous arrogance.

Sakuna is a shy and quiet girl, however she is also very dangerous as shown when she had Killed Komari's father. Later on after Odilon's his death, Sakuna started opening up more to Komari who can become her new friend showing more of her kindhearted nature. It was revealed later on that Sakuna did also exude a couple of yandere tendencies when Komari is involved. Like when she revealed that she had planted a tracking device on her, and also when she threatened to kill Nelia right in front of Komari when she had found out that she had drank her blood.


Terakomari Gandesblood embodies an enchanting blend of elegance and uniqueness. With vivid crimson eyes and cascading blonde hair, and drill-like buns held by black ribbons. She has a red blazer, and her collar blue ribbon with gray buttons over a layered skirt with white on top and blue underneath, accentuated by a sleek black belt, speaks of her refined taste.

Komari is charming and charismatic, drawing people to her (as explained by Prohellya in Volume 11). Despite being a romance novel writer, she has no experience with romance and considers simple acts like holding hands to be significant steps toward intimacy.
To survive as a Crimson Lord, Komari adopts a bloodthirsty persona, knowing that if she shows weakness, her unit would try to kill her and take her position. Her personal maid, Villhaze, would handles her duties, which proofs that Komari is a lazy and cowardly vampire. Despite the 7th unit being composed of bloodthirsty and perverted individuals, Komari cares for them deeply, blaming herself when Bellius falls into a coma after protecting her from Millicent's attack. Though she prefers staying in her room, Komari risks her life to protect her friends, which endears her to her harem and the world.
She brushes off Villhaze's flirting as teasing and remains oblivious to Sakuna’s crush, despite seeing her stalker-like room filled with pictures and life-size dolls of her. She also fails to notice Lingzi’s feelings. When Komari begins to understand romantic commitment, she feels uncomfortable, fearing a toxic relationship, as she explains to Lingzi in Volume 11.


Villhaze stands out with her striking appearance. Short, vibrant blue hair frames her face, drawing attention to the captivating contrast of her eyes—green atop, blending into a mesmerizing yellow hue at the bottom.

She is a strong vampire but couldn't surpass Komari Core Implosion.


The Wallflower

Unlike Hiroshi , Akira is an anatomy model of a human torso rather than a full body model.


The Wallflower

Mine is a tall and beautiful woman with brown hair that is curled at the tips with bangs swept to the left, purple eyes and a slender figure.

Mine is called the "infamous Marie Antoinette of the East" as she is extremely wealthy and usually travels in an unconventional fashion, such as in a fleet of helicopters. She is rarely around (usually in France with her latest boyfriend or fiancé), and the four boys have managed to convince her that Sunako is on the fast track to becoming a lady when, in reality, it couldn't be further from the truth.
However, Mine has also been known to make unexpected visits, which often leads to the boys putting on an act of some sort with Sunako to make her appear more ladylike and, occasionally, resulting in raised rent when all does not go as planned.


The Wallflower

Noi is a tall and beautiful teenage girl with hip-length red hair, fair skin, and sea-blue eyes. Due to Noi's beauty, many people consider her as the belle [1] of Mori High .
She is usually seen wearing her school uniform.

Noi is a sweet, loyal, and smart girl who often gets asked on dates and has numerous offers to become a model. She is considered very protective towards her friends, especially Sunako and Tamao. Noi once slapped Kyohei when Sunako was kidnapped by a gang because he did not consider Sunako as a girl. Because of her quick temper and romantic notions, she and Kyohei often argue, particularly in regards to Sunako. Noi also urged Tamao to become more beautiful in order for Ranmaru to fall in love with her and leave his womanizing ways behind.
Noi loves Takenaga unfailingly, but she often questions the nature of their relationship as Takenaga is too shy to make his feelings toward her more explicit. Noi herself is also fairly shy and waits on Takenaga to take the initiative in their relationship. Like the boys, Noi is not very good at doing housework. In the beginning of the story, Noi gets scared from Sunako's horror collection, but she does not seem to be afraid of Sunako herself like most other people are. Noi was first envious of Sunako that she lived with Takenaga, but when Sunako was depressed and Noi took over the housework, she realized that Sunako works very hard doing the cleaning and cooking for all the boys.


The Wallflower

Ranmaru is considered attractive by most females. He has red hair and gray eyes. He usually wears a t-shirt with a striped gray cardigan at home. At school, Ranmaru is seen wearing the normal school uniform.

With a rogue's charm and the sex appeal and drive of ten men, Ranmaru chases (and also usually gets) any woman he desires. It should be noted that he can often be clueless about everyday life, and occasionally is viewed as callous. Ranmaru, like his fellow housemates, only allows a select few into his innermost thoughts.
He seems to consider himself an expert as to what will help Sunako become a lady, claiming that a girl needs to be appreciated in order to "shine." He is usually the one who develops what he believes are appropriate ultimate dating scenarios, which usually involve forcing Kyohei to take Sunako to an expensive restaurant and then to a romantic movie. These plans usually end in failure, as Kyohei finds it too uncomfortable to go through with Ranmaru's plans.


The Wallflower

Sunako is a tall, beautiful, fair-skinned young woman with waist-length black dark purple hair that has square bangs hanging over her forehead or eyes, lavender purple eyes and full pink lips.
She is usually seen wearing a baggy grey sweater with a floral print skirt or red jogging sweatpants and grey shoes or her high school uniform.
Most of the time, Sunako can be seen in chibi (miniature) form. However, whenever she is in a situation where her inner beauty comes forth, she almost magically transforms into a beautiful young woman, much to the surprise of many onlookers. Sunako's inner beauty frequently emerges whenever her character's viewpoint is challenged, causing her to change her belief system about beauty and humanity in general.
When Sunako is not in chibi form, she has long straight black hair and has the figure of a model. She is considered a beautiful girl when she's at her full height, but she doesn't consider herself to be beautiful due to her low-self esteem.

The character of Sunako is very self-conscious and she has a fairly bad self-image of herself. She frequently calls herself ugly and never acknowledges herself as a beautiful person. Most of the time, she can be found in dark spaces or areas that are believed to be haunted.
At the same time, the author shows that Sunako also has very strong convictions. This ranges anywhere from defending her fellow characters to refusing to do anything she dislikes, such as making a collage of pineapples on her wall. However, it is frequently shown in both the anime and manga that Sunako has no problem compromising some values (e.g., dressing up) in order to further her own ends. Sunako's fascination with all things dark and morbid resembles that of the series' original creator, Tomoko Hayakawa , albeit in a more extreme form.
A constant theme of Sunako's personality is her view of beautiful and ugly people. She sees herself as ugly, while viewing characters such as Kyohei Takano or Noi Kasahara as incredibly beautiful. Sunako's belief appears to be that while beautiful people can become ugly, ugly people can never become beautiful. In the manga , Sunako often reacts violently to the presence of beauty, believing that ugly people such as her should stay in the darkness. However, the problem with Sunako's retreat from the world is that it limits her capacity for life, as well as keeping her from objectively viewing all that is around her. It can be suggested that, by Sunako adopting such a stark viewpoint on "ugly" and "beautiful" people, she has become exactly the type of person she despises. One such character similarity can be seen by comparing the person who rejected Sunako at the beginning of the manga and Sunako herself assuming that Kyōhei couldn't understand her due to his beauty.
Surprisingly, she is an excellent cook and also very athletic, intelligent, and a skilled pianist. However, Sunako often changes, becoming ugly with dry, cracked skin and pimples in her chibi form. She refers to beautiful people as "creatures of light" and ugly people, such as herself, as "creatures of darkness" in the English translation. Whenever she sees a "creature of light," she gets nosebleeds, which are especially severe when she sees Kyohei.
Despite her negative attitude, once she is driven to do something, Sunako is quite capable of doing things that no one expects her to accomplish. There is also a possibility that she may have supernatural abilities (e.g., plants wilting near her, lights going out, and windows shattering by an unseen force).
She is also seen to be loyal to her friends, especially towards Noi and Tamao Kikunoi , as she has shown to care about them more than the boys. An example was in Chapter 102 when Kyohei, Yukinojo Toyama , Ranmaru Morii , and Noi accidentally ate mushrooms that changed their personalities. She wasn't interested in getting the antidote for the boys but quickly changed her mind when she saw Noi might do something perverted to Takenaga Oda . Another was in Chapter 111 when both Sunako and Ranmaru were kidnapped and were held for a one billion dollar ransom. The kidnapper planned to cut and torture Ranmaru which excited Sunako, but when Tamao barges in with the ransom money she quickly shows more concern for her safety and urges her to get out while she still can. Also, despite how she acts, Sunako seems to deeply care about her housemates, going so far as trying to kill anyone who messes with them (despite the fact that she tried to kill Kyōhei many times herself).


The Wallflower

Mr. Nakahara is tall with a strong physique. When the boys first meet him they mistake him for a mafia boss. In the anime, he wears a gray suit with a black collared shirt and green tie. His hair is slicked back. He also has a large, diagonal scar across on his back that he received when saving Sunako from a bear when she was two years old.

Despite his outward appearance, Mr. Nakahara is a softie, especially when it comes to Sunako. He is also very sensitive, and he takes Sunako's orders to not enter her room to heart, thinking that she finds him to be a nuisance. However, it is revealed later that Sunako has been sparing him from seeing her room because he has a strong fear of horror-related things, and he will faint at the very sight of them.


The Wallflower

Mrs. Nakahara is a very beautiful and attractive woman with waist-length black or dark-purple hair that has bangs hanging on the left side and dark purple eyes.
She is seen wearing a light-blue long sleeve shirt with a long white skirt and dark purple heels.

Mrs. Nakahara is a kind-hearted and loving mother who supports Sunako no matter what.


The Wallflower

Tamao is a beautiful young woman with long straight blonde hair that is clipped back by three light blue beaded hair clips on top, grey eyes and full pink lips.
When she visits Ranmaru Morii at the mansion, she is seen wearing a baby-blue knee-length dress with necklace. At school, her top uniform is white with a ribbon in the middle of the sleeves, while the bottom part is a navy-blue skirt.

Tamao has a calm and lady-like personality who's character is a perfect example of a "lady" as she foils Sunako Nakahara 's un-ladylike nature and Noi Kasahara 's loud mouth.


The Water Dragon's Bride

She is a middle aged woman with shoulder length hair.

She had an enthusiastic personality before Asahi 's disappearance, pridefully commenting on Asahi's hair to guests and comparing her to a doll. After Asahi was transported to the other world, her mental state collapsed. She repeatedly called Haruki Asahi and even mistook him for her. She seemed to have completely preserved Asahi's room, and forbade Haruki to enter that room. Asahi's mother broke down in tears when Asahi returned.


The Water Dragon's Bride

This resulted in Kurose being thrown down a large set of stairs- a guaranteed death. However Tokoyami transported him to the other world, saving his life. He was then found by Hino: a young girl who lives alone with her Father, who both happily take Kurose in as family. After a war between Kurose's village and Asahi's village, Hino's father was killed and Hino was badly injured - devastating Kurose. Tokoyami appears and takes Kurose in as the 'god of darkness' in exchange for the promise Hino will live.

His outfit consists of a simple white tunic shirt with long sleeves, puffed at the end of the sleeve. On each wrist he has a purple bracelet like band, keeping the sleeves down.

Tokoyami is an extremely quiet individual who rarely interferes with Kurose’s actions with his power. He is somewhat obedient to Kurose however he is known to lie and manipulate people to get what he wants. He is extremely powerful but is restricted to only being able to exist in darkness, thus why he took Kurose to be his mortal key to the light. Once full darkness has spread and Kurose is lost to the light he loses his silent and obedient persona and becomes harsh and disregards Kurose for his own will.


The Water Dragon's Bride
