She is fairly fit, compared to her husband, and wears gold earrings as well as a matching, gold necklace, and lipstick. She wears a pink sweatshirt and white capri-like pants.

She initially appears a very calm, collected and logical woman who refuses to comply with her husband's curious antics and is always first to speak of safety in a sign of danger or strangeness; nevertheless, she quickly gives in to Akiichirō's adventurousness, consequently turning both her husband and herself into pigs for much of the film.

Ryōko Matsuzaki also described him as a loving husband who was very supportive of her studies.

The moving castle appears from the outside as a tall, off-balanced, black-brick castle with four square towers and three doors. However, two of these doors cannot be approached at all, as though there were an invisible barrier blocking the way. Only the third door can be reached, which although is the back door of the castle, is the front door of the house within. The four towers often billow smoke, and the harder Calcifer works, the more smoke is issued. It is apparently made from coal.

There are two variants, combat type and non-combat type that can be differentiated based on several characterisitics such as colorations and spikes on arms.
Physically, the robots measure 344cm in height and weighs 238kg. Despite this, their bodies are roughly humanoid in shape. Their main body segments are broad and trapezoidal in shape, with their chests embellishing the crest of the Laputian royal family. The robots' arms and legs are segmented; their arms are very long, nearly reaching to the ground. The arms also have spikes on each segment, which support sets of retractable flaps. Each robot has a pair of five-fingered hands; their feet are wide and flat, and lack any distinguishable toes.
Each robot has a relatively small dome-shaped head atop its body, which is connected by a narrow and flexible neck. The head features a bean-shaped plate that houses a pair of uneven "eyes", with the left being roughly twice as large as the right. They act as sensors for movement, and are also capable of shooting lasers. Two much smaller holes between the eyes act as the "nose" of the robot, with a divot along the plate's bottom appearing to be a sort of "mouth".

Shikigami, in traditional Japanese folklore, are either invisible or appear in the shape of neatly-folded paper manikins. However, in the film's adaptation, the Shikigami are portrayed as fully-visible, semi-humanoid paper creatures with the ability to fly at extremely high speeds (on par with Haku in his dragon form). They are white in color and resemble birds and have a circular head, wings, and a pointed "tail". When magically commanded, they can stand (or hover) on the tip of their tails and plaster themselves onto a person's body.

Nono-chan

Birk has shoulder-length orange hair that hang in bulky strands, and lovely blue eyes. He wears a blue tunic and a belt twice wrapped around his waist, kitted out with a pouch and sheath that holds a knife.

Birk is a cheeky, fun-loving and rational boy who tends to be realistic rather than fanciful, in contrast to how Ronja is. He is level-headed and is able to think on his feet, calmly assessing any situation he is met with. He is gently charismatic — so charming indeed, it quickly frustrates Ronja's initial determination to dislike him.

Birk, though usually emotionally steady, ends up crying in a moment of serious character development.

For most the series he shows little emotional variation. Mostly seen with an even, serene smile and the occasional cocky smirk, the only emotion he tends to express passionately is anger. Later in the series, particularly during the Bear's Cave arc, some of his serene demeanour melts away and feelings of grief and jealousy show through.


Nono-chan

Chihiro is a ten-year-old girl with brown hair, brown eyes, and rosy cheeks. She is very petite and has a childish appearance and a pudgy face. Her attire includes a white medium-sleeved T-shirt with bright green stripes, bright red shorts, white socks, and sunshine yellow velcro sneakers. While working in the bathhouse, she is barefoot and wears a coral-colored kariginu robe with a white hitoe underneath, short sashinuki pants, and a tasuki cord for tying her sleeves up.

Chihiro's growth into a capable individual is a core factor in the movement of Spirited Away's plot. During her adventure in the Spirit World, she matures from an easily scared girl with a childlike personality to match her age to a hard-working, responsible, and brave young girl who has learned to put her fears aside for those she cares for. To protect her friends and rescue her parents from a spell that has turned them into livestock, Chihiro sheds her former personality and adapts to her environment to become a courageous, caring, quick-witted, and reliable girl.
As the story progresses, the strength of her bond with Haku eventually evolves into a heartfelt form of love that dispels Yubaba and Zeniba 's respective curses on Haku.


Nono-chan

Haku appears to be around 12 years old in physical age. He has straight black hair (some see it as black, others say dark/forest green) in a bob haircut and slanted, green eyes.
When he is human, Haku wears a traditional white robe that resembles closely a Kariginu tied with a lavender sash, a short traditional indigo dyed Sashinuki (a type of kuribakama) underneath, and beige sandals. A darker blue Hitoe can be seen from the sides and shoulders of the robes.

Haku has multiple personalities. He can sometimes be kind-hearted and supportive, other times strict and high-strung. He is wise and is able to act accordingly to the situation. He is more than willing to stick his neck out when he cares about someone. From the beginning of the story, through to the end, he does everything within his power to keep Chihiro unharmed and to help her leave safely. His steadfast resolve helps Chihiro finally trust him, amidst contradictory information from other Spirited Away characters about him.
Haku always said she could trust him. However, Lin, was not sure of Haku's intentions and told Chihiro to not trust him. Yubaba 's twin sister, Zeniba insisted that Haku is a greedy thief, who had stolen her golden seal . In the end, Chihiro puts her faith in Haku. Later, it is revealed that Haku is Yubaba's slave, who controlled him with a black worm in his body.

At the beginning, she's dressed in a bright green, short-sleeved dress with a medium turtle-neck and a bright pink apron, long, grey socks that are falling down and the same shoes.
Kiki is not initially pleased with her appearance at the beginning of the film, but later on is told to like herself as a witch by her mother, Kokiri .

Kiki is strong-willed, leaving her home in Karikiya for a year at 13-years old in order to undergo the training she's required to complete to be a witch. She is very friendly, curious, kind-hearted, sweet and upbeat. However, she is also rather stubborn and proud at times, which is sometimes to her disadvantage. She is very attached to her pet black cat, Jiji , and introduces him as her best friend. Kiki is not particularly popular when she first arrives in Koriko , but gradually makes new friends with her customers and is the town heroine at the end.

This only lasts a short while, however, when his is engulfed in a glob of blue magic goop from the flower.

Peter is generally a witty, kindhearted kid. He seems to like helping out, being the "delivery boy" of the neighborhood. He typically tries to act brave when it comes to something he's scared of doing, and is a sweet boy. When he was first shown, he was laughing at Mary's clumsiness, but tried to help her out a couple times afterwards.

Everyone in Mattis ' fort is fond of Ronja, and respects and cherishes her. As an only child, she is spoiled with love.

She naturally takes on some character traits from her parents even if polarizing, such as Lovis ' cool rationality in problem solving, but Mattis' big emotions in interpersonal matters.
She develops a lot of courage and fearlessness; the simple principle she obeys to "never be scared in Mattis' forest" extends itself from reckoning with supernatural creatures, to being able to overcome Hell's Gap. She also discovers a pacifist ethic within herself that drives major aspects of the story.

Satsuki has short, walnut brown hair and chocolate brown eyes (the eyes mostly appear black due to coloring and art style). She wears a tangerine skirt with tangerine suspenders, white bloomers, a sunshine yellow collared shirt, a sky blue pair of shoes, and a white hat (only worn in a few scenes).

MISCONCEPTION: Satsuki does not wear a sky blue and carnation pink version of her normal outfit, the lighting is darker and changes the color pallete in the scene.

Satsuki is a bright and cheerful individual. She generally tries to be someone to look up to, most likely for her sister. She seems to idolize her mother's peaceful demeanor, and she even says that she wants her hair to cooperate to look like her mother's hair. Satsuki is hard working and intelligent, as shown when she is studying at school or helping out around her new home. She is also very open minded and pleasant towards people like Granny and even Kanta after getting to know his friendly side.

"I'm making this one for you, Mei."

The grief she feels for her mother being ill is only revealed towards the end of the movie when she breaks down in front of Granny. She also clearly feels very stressed to act like an adult and be a good role model for Mei.
Most of Satsuki's anger stems from Mei's contrasting irresponsibility. She gets easily frustrated, but is still a lovable character with good intentions.

At the beginning of the film, Setsuko is shown to have the average body. As the film progresses, however, she is shown to have lost a considerable amount of weight. When Seita Yokokawa takes her to the doctor, she lifts up her shirt to reveal her agonizingly-haggard stomach; her ribs clearly visible, as well. She has dark brown hair cut short above her ears and shiny, dark brown eyes. She wears an off-white polo shirt and blue monpe , and a hooded cape of the same color and pattern and off-white bloomers along with tabi socks and getas (clogs). She also wears a red dress, and a white seifuku with black shoes and short socks in various flashback scenes.
As a spirit, Setsuko glows with an orange light, she is surrounded by fireflies and she is healthy once again.

Although Setsuko is young and naïve, she is shown to gain a deeper understanding of life and death as certain events unfold throughout the film. When she finds the dead fireflies that prompts the question "Why do fireflies have to die so soon?" and figures out that her mother is deceased, it is clear that Setsuko's outlook on the cycle of life has been cemented into her still-developing mind.
Setsuko loved sweets and once tried to eat stones thinking that they were her favorite candy drops. She also had a deep connection to her brother where she was overall a sweet and happy child. She also loved eating rice for dinner, except if it is rice porridge.

Sho has navy blue/black hair and brown eyes.
He wears a white shirt and blue trousers, and is also seen wearing light blue pyjamas in the movie when it is his bedtime (he also wears a dark blue jacket when walking around in his pyjamas).

Sho is shown to be a quiet and very polite boy. However, he is initially listless and pessimistic about his operation, as he has no will to live, thinking that every living person will die, eventually, and he also has a low chance of survival from the operation.
This changes when he meets Arrietty , and he is inspired and amazed by her perseverance and strong will in rescuing her mother and thus gains the will to live on. It is shown in the very beginning of the film that he survives the operation, as he is reminiscing the time he met Arrietty.
In a director's interview, Hiromasa Yonebayashi describes him as "an ordinary 12-year-old boy," noting that he is younger than Arrietty who is 14, adding, "that adds a twist to the story." [1]


Nono-chan

Spiller is dark skinned with white stripes on both sides of his cheeks. His hair is uneven and spiky, most likely showing he doesn't cut it. His height is not determined but he is shorter than Arrietty. He is slightly muscly and has a sharp face.
He wears a brown fur coat and brown clothing underneath. He usually carries a bow along with some arrows in case danger lurks around the corner.

He’s fairly polite, not really being rude to the family he interacts with. He is especially nice to Arrietty , maybe due to him having a crush on her.

He is interested in the sea, especially since his father is the captain of a ship. He also knows that Kōichi does his best for the family, as seen when Lisa gets angry at Kōichi and chides him for abandoning her family on a cliff.

Gonta is a particularly stocky tanuki, with grey fur like Oroku's. He is distinguished by heavy black eyebrows, pockmarks on his face and tufts of scruffy fur on the top of his head. Like other clan elders, he has crow's feet around his eyes, and like most of the older males, he has a few whiskers on his upper lip that give the appearance of a mustache. His default clothing is a red vest with a single orange stripe across it. In his human form, which he only takes on a handful of times, he appears as a fat young man with short black hair, stubble on his chin, a red T-shirt similar to the vest of his tanuki form and pale blue jeans. When he leads an attack against the humans and takes a human form, he wears a red raincoat with a stripe a different shade of red across it, red trousers the same colour as his raincoat, and black boots.

Gonta is hotheaded and pugnacious. His wife is Otama, a docile, doting tanuki who worries about him constantly but is strong enough to fend off his attempts to woo her.
Gonta is combative and loves to argue with others. He threatens violence on tanukis who oppose his actions. In contrast, Shoukichi respects the opinions of other tanukis; for the most part, Shoukichi even listens to Gonta's ideas.
Both sides of their argument have valid points. While Shoukichi is right in that hurting humans is excessive, in retrospect he admits that Gonta was right on a couple of things. Gonta accurately observed that the developers are relentless and will become desensitized to hauntings if it means making a profit. He was also right that they were just wasting time by debating after the failure of Operation Specter.
He loves to assert power, but he's sensitive to criticism and will lash out if his ego is slighted in any way.
He leads the Red Tanukis to eliminate all humans, but all mentions of humans' food cause him to soften his approach a little. He really hates lazy tanukis. However, he, hypocritically, gets bored easily and would sometimes get distracted by a hamburger or doze off during important meetings.
Though he is proud and selfish, he respects Oroku and the Transformation Masters, and joins in on the celebration of Master Hage's birthday.

However, Yubaba notes that he didn't seem like a stink spirit and ordered Chihiro Ogino to wash him in the Big Tub. After being relieved of all the human-made trash that had clogged up his body, the unnamed River Spirit was freed from all the gunk he was carrying and revealed himself to be a grand spirit.

Kushana has ginger hair with a crown she has blue eyes, blue earrings, and she wears knight armor. She later appears without her armor, revealing white dress and her mechanical arm and legs when she escapes from captivity.

Despite her ferocity in battle, Kushana has a nobility of character that earns her the respect of both Nausicaä and Master Yupa . 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.
Just like Nausicaä, she was born into a man's world. She had to survive by, in a sense, becoming a man; she wore armor, commanded fleets, etc. She had to make tough decisions, and had to be very cautious of her surroundings. Because she knew, behind everything, her brothers were out to kill her and take over the throne.
While seemingly cold-hearted at first, the reader's approach to the character becomes more emotional as we delve into the plot. We find out that the emperor who succeeded Kushana's father poisoned Kushana's mother, making her insane. People took Kushana away, and left her mother alone with only a rag doll. In her insanity, Kushana's mother thought that this rag doll was her daughter. This part of the story once again reflects upon Greek mythology, where many gods and other characters killed their children in fits of temporary insanity.

At the beginning of the movie, Ashitaka is depicted as a handsome young man who has long hair that is tied into a bun, but he cuts it off after he is told to leave the village. His hair then has a layered cut with wild bangs cut over his eyebrows. His hair is dark brown and he has greyish-brown/brownish-grey eyes. His clothing consists of a blue tunic and peach-white pants, as well as brown bottom warmers and shoes made out of fabric. He also wears blue arm sleeves and a red-orange hood to cover his face. He wears a cloak made out of hay for a small portion of the movie. He wears his fiancée's crystal dagger (In the English dub, everyone calls each other brother and sister, even if they are not related) before he gives it to San . 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.

Ashitaka is very stern and determined to achieve his goals, not allowing his setbacks to stop him from curing his curse and saving his village, or anyone in danger. He is also extremely curious in nature, wanting to discover who San truly is after witnessing her sucking venom out of one of the wolves. Despite his hard outer shell, Ashitaka is also very kind and only wishes for the best outcomes for both sides, not wishing for either side to shed blood in destructive wars, and wants peace between the forces of nature and humanity.
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.
He also saw the good in San, at one point impulsively telling her that she is "beautiful".

Seiji is a confident young man who has been in love with Shizuku for most of their school lives. When they first encounter each other Shizuku perceives him as rude, and refers to him as "stupid jerk" which she repeats numerous times, however as the film progresses we see that he is a very sensitive and loving person, and his affection for Shizuku become very apparent, especially at the end of the film. He is very driven, wanting to go to Italy on his own to perfect the art of violin making, and willing to leave everything behind, showing both his confidence and his abilities.

Calcifier appears as a living ball of fire with eyes and a mouth. He is usually orange-yellow, but this seems to change with his emotions and size. Calcifier's size also changes depending on the type and amount of fuel he is running on.

Calcifer is bound to the confines of Howl's Castle after he struck a deal with Howl years prior. He later strikes another magical bargain with Sophie , hoping she can break his curse. Calcifer cares about Howl, Sophie, and their makeshift family despite his grandiose threats and prickly demeanor. He worries about Howl's penchant for war and that it will inevitably change him.


Nono-chan

When first introduced, No-Face appeared in a semi-transparent state while shifting in and out of visibility. His organs are visible, pulsating in several states. His figure resembles that of a long, black tube. While it is unknown if No-Face has a physical body, it is shown that he can develop arms and legs with the capability of leaving footprints as he walks. An ominous, expressionless mask with grey-violet highlights is painted on his "head" of sorts, and while there is a "mouth" painted on the mask, No-Face has shown that his real, expertly-hidden mouth is larger than the one present on his mask.

No-Face is a lonely spirit who begins to follow Chihiro Ogino after having developed an interest in her sincerity. His vocabulary consisted of grunts and moans as opposed to coherent words. Not knowing much about the Bathhouse or about other spirits in general, No-Face learned by example and adapted to his surroundings.
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.

Nono-chan

Lupin is tall and skinny with neatly styled short black hair that never falls out of place, and large black eyes. Despite the fact that he's older than he is in the series, he has the same boyish appearance as before. He wears the outfit he wore in the first anime: a green jacket, a black shirt and pants and a yellow tie.

Unlike his sociopathic manga counterpart, Lupin is a mischievous but easy-going gentleman thief, with particular emphasis on the "gentleman". While he steals, he mainly does it for the thrill of it, and just to prove he can. While he can be intimidating, he has a warm and friendly side to him. In The Castle of Cagliostro , he's older, wiser, and regrets his actions of his past, seeing his young self as a "punk" and a "greenhorn".
His chivalry is a quality that carries over from the anime; he has a weakness for a pretty girl in distress. But while he's a self-admitted womanizer, he views Clarisse as the same little girl he knew years ago.
He can be a little accident-prone and has a tendency to say "Ay-yi-yi" whenever things go wrong.
He can be incredibly stubborn. When he's recuperating from his wounds, he literally bites off more than he can chew and ends up nearly sick from indigestion.


Nono-chan

In the film, Chichiyaku has orange eyes, salmon-orange skin, and a small, reddish-orange mustache. Like many of the bathhouse workers, he resembles a frog.

In the film Chichiyaku seems at times selfish, but with the help of Chihiro by the end of the film he appears to have more humility. Among many of the other spirits, he first treats Chihiro Ogino with discontent due to her being a human, but gradually comes to accept and even cheer for her as she helps the River Spirit and saves the Bathhouse from No-Face .


Nono-chan

Heen is a lazy, shaggy, floppy-eared dog, who only communicates through wheezing and gasping, jumping and scraping.

Jiji is a black cat with large white eyes and black pupils. The insides of his ears are iris purple.
As a witch familiar, he has a much longer lifespan than normal cats.

In the American version, Jiji is a chatty and sarcastic cat that likes to act proud whilst in the Japanese version, Jiji is a cautious and humble, and is always ready to help Kiki.
The character of Jiji is significantly different in the American dub. In the Japanese version, Jiji is voiced by the female performer Rei Sakuma , while in the American version Jiji is performed by Phil Hartman , and also has more of a wisecracking demeanor.
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.

Now I'm a Demon Lord! Happily Ever After with Monster Girls in My Dungeon

A two-tailed feline monster under Yuki’s command with sleek white fur.


Emyu is a Ovine demon with a pair of sheep horns adorning the sides of her head.


Rir is a fenrir , a mythological wolf, with white, lustrous fur. He stands a head taller than Yuki when standing on all four feet. [1]

Rir recognizes himself as a weapon and is confused by the care of his masters. In spite of his confusion, he's happy they treat him as one of their own. [2]
Rir acts like the stereotypical Japanese, a hard worker who can't say no.
Rir receives stress from Yuki's childish actions. Rir's inability to deal with his master's actions and the more than 100 subordinates he accepted led him to become overly stressed to the point he acquired his own title. [3]


Fynar looks like a cheerful young man with blond hair.

Fynar is a great thinker who schemes others into destroying each other. He's a cautious and friendly man willing to do "business" with potential allies.


Gilordio is a dragon larger than Lefi with black scales. He was more rugged and bony than her.

Gilordio was too prideful and believed himself to be superior to all, the Supreme Dragon Lefisios included. He viewed all non-dragons as ants and would never allow them the right to live if they offended him in any way.


Her age is described as being almost, but not quite an adult; her face, while matured still has a sense of child like innocence. She has small horns on her head with a thin tail that peeks out of her cloak.


As a fusion spirit Ifrita's appearance is dependent on the imagination of her creator, much like elemental magic. As such, Yuki decided to consistently manifest her with the same feminine appearance.

As a summoned conglomeration of spirits, Ifrita is not particularly emotive. She is also unconcerned with the appearance she manifests in as demonstrated by her indifference in checking her appearance when first created.


Iluna is a little vampire girl with short, blond hair and blue eyes.

Iluna is open, childish girl who wants to share her happiness with those around her.


Ilyr is a tiny bit taller than Illuna but her bust is a tiny bit smaller.

Ilyr survived being tortured without a change in her personality. Similar to Iluna , Ilyr has shown courage that doesn't match her age. [2]


Lefi was a large majestic dragon with silver scales. She took an unaltered humanoid form to acclimate herself to Yuki's dungeon and consume less food. After doing the deed with Yuki , she noticed she had acquired the Humanoid Dragon title. Shortly after, Lefi found something within herself preventing her from returning to her original form. [1]
When Lefi assumes a humanoid form, she appears to be a 13 to a 14-year old human girl with a flawless, slender body. Like her dragon form, her hair and eyes have a beautiful platinum silver color Even as a human, she keeps her dragon horns and silver tail. While she can hide them, she argues not having them would feel akin to a human who lost an arm or leg.

Lefisios of old is described as a cold and solitary individual by the Spirit Lord . Her overwhelming power caused her to treat everyone equally coldly. Though feared by many, the Spirit King still knew she was kind and didn't cause trouble for no reason. This is proven by how she agreed with the human kingdom that tried to kill her and how she didn't immediately kill Yuki after he trespassed into her territory.
Her natural slothfulness is only surpassed by her undeniable sweet tooth. A trait that existed even before meeting Yuki since she spent most of her time sleeping and only made the Demonic Forest her nest because she likes the honey that can be found there. If left to her own devices, she would eat a week's worth of food for two people in a single sitting, while sporting her humanoid body. Unless she's being actively entertained, she prefers to just loaf around.
After meeting Yuki , Lefi's barriers slowly melted away and she shows her emotions of happiness and joy. She has a strong competitive spirit from her stubbornness and can even throw a tantrum when she loses at games. She allows those close to her, like Yuki, to call her Lefi.
She may be a thousands-year-old dragon, but she behaves like a spoiled middle-schooler. It might be due to her innate nature or her undeniable power, but Lefi has a very strong protective instinct for her kin. Being the dungeon residence. As the strongest member of the dungeon , she acts as its ultimate guardian who will annihilate anything that comes to harm it. After Iluna was kidnapped, Lefi immediately mobilized her dragon underlings to help Yuki save her.


Leila is an ovine demon with a curvaceous body. She keeps her dazzling white hair that reaches her waist braided. A pair of sheep horns adorn the sides of her head.
Leila is skilled at maid work so much that Yuki thinks of her as the perfect maid . Even while studying a subject of interest, she maintains a calm face and completes her tasks. When she is overstimulated, her composure starts to wear away.

Leila, like the other members of her tribe, is curious to a fault. While knowing of the history of demon lords, she remained to serve and study Yuki.
Leila is a motherly girl who takes care of those around her. She helped Lew learn her job and taught Lefi some housewife skills. She also took care of her former junior Emyu when she studied at the institute. [2]


Lew is a Werewolf beastkin with chestnut brown hair. She has wolf ears and a tail.

Lew is a simple-minded tomboy who likes to laze around.


A skeleton wearing a tattered, worn down robe. With all but a few traces of skin gone the overlord's eyes glowed a pale, eerie red, filled with malice.

Having lost his sanity, the No Life King is irrationally violent, acting on instinct to kill any living being and is unwilling to converse.


He is a massive, serpentine monster under Yuki ’s command with scales as red as blood. His hulking frame makes him the dungeon’s largest individual.


Releaux is an man with a receding hair line because of all the stress he's had since Yuki was born.

Releaux is willing to sacrifice himself for his citizens but is just as likely to sacrifice his citizens for his kingdom.


Remiero appears as a butler and can be described as an old refined gentleman.


Ronia has a taciturn aura and gives off the impression of a sleepy person.


A translucent blue monster under Yuki’s command that looks very much like a bubbly lump of water. It has a somewhat similar appearance to Shii’s original form, but has much finer control over the manner in which it presents itself.


Originally, Shii was a small, round blue slime who could only move around and jiggle. Although she couldn't speak, Yuki understood her simple intentions.
After evolving, Shii gained the ability to take a humanoid shape and replicated Iluna 's shape. [2] Shii sleeps in her slime form.

Shii is kind and loves her family, the residents of Yuki's dungeon . Her heart feels warm just by watching everyone else being happy. Shii is a little jealous of how well Yuki treats Lefi compared to everyone else. [3]


Vergillus is a Werewolf beastkin with ears and a tail. He looks to be in his twenties.

Vergillus is a stubborn blockhead. He risked over a hundred lives for a small chance at revenge. He believes his tribes' traditions are more important than free will. [1]


The wraith sisters appear to be 3-4 year old children with translucent bodies. Because they are incorporeal, Yuki gave them dolls to possess so they could interact with everyone.

The wraith sisters are childish and like to play pranks. They were terrified of Lefi at first but have grown to like her.
Rei acts as a big sister should. She is smart and usually has everything planned out in her head before hand. When she plays pranks, she usually instigates her sisters to support her endeavors. [2]
Rui is a stubborn girl. She is the most prideful and honest of the sisters. Her sisters' shenanigans often cause her to panic. [2]
Roh is relatively quiet and reserved. She is also the most mischievous of the sisters and her pranks often leave her sisters shocked stiff. [2]


A massive crow-like monster under Yuki’s command with obsidian feathers as dark and beautiful as the night.


Yggdrasil looks like a floting robe the size of a child with a floating staff. His head is a fist-sized orb of light. [2]


Yuki was an archdemon after reincarnated but he evolved into a demon lord . He is a little taller than the average man with a slim build. He has short black hair and red/black heterochromatic eyes. Usually, he wears a plain t-shirt, pants, and sandals.

Yuki is a selfish self-centered man who enjoys being a villain and takes care of those who have meaning to him. Although he won't seek out people to help, he'll help those suffering from injustice he meets by coincidence. That said, he becomes a vengeful force of nature to those who harm him, his family, or his peaceful way of life.
Yuki isn't a violent individual and prefers to talk things out but he's not against using violence to quell violence.
Though he would adamantly insist otherwise, he is this. He acts heroically, purely for his own sake, not because he's expecting a reward, although he certainly wouldn't turn a reward down, and does act heroically because he enjoys doing so, or benefits from it.
He hates "heroes", especially those who boast of their selflessness and pointedly does not want to be one.
When a hodge-podge army of mercenaries and various "noble" houses intrudes in his territory, seeking to "avenge their country's honor" as a direct result of him hunting down a slaver cartel, to rescue Iluna , while said the cartel was operating (illegally) in their country, he goes to what he thinks is the top commander and warns him. The said commander warned his superiors but was ignored. The warned commander wisely withdrew his squad. That squad survived. The rest had a Cruel and Unusual Death. While it has yet to crop up much, seeing how remote his dungeon is, he does not like hurting children, and if he finds those who do, he tends to be quiet and upset.
Despite being an Ideal Hero, he's not going to intervene in affairs that don't directly impact him.


Zaien is a Tachi, a longer sub-type among Japanese katana. Zaien lacks a guard and even Yuki with his high stats feels the resistance from her weight. Her blade is crimson and becomes darker and sharper as she consumes more blood. [6]
While in human form, En has short, glossy black hair adorned with red and black ribbons on the sides of her head. Her eyes gleam with the same black as her hair and look almost doll-like. She is deadpan. Although she is a genderless sword, she took a female form after Yuki and Iluna treated her like a girl. Iluna treated En as a girl the moment she met her and Yuki treated her like a girl because of her preferences. [5]

Originally, even from before En acquired full sentience, she was somewhat self-aware as a cursed weapon. Back then, she was more of a 'will' than an intelligent. Despite that, she hated herself for being a cursed weapon that controlled other people into doing horrible things. A big indication of her innate kindness despite her cursed origins.
Despite having been a genderless weapon, Yuki had the impression that En had more feminine preferences. Later this was made more clear once she humanizes.
Now, En considers herself Yuki's daughter and main weapon. [5] . She's possessive about her title as the latter to challenge and potentially destroy any other sword that could even remotely threaten that position. So much so that whenever Yuki can't use En for whatever reason, he's forced to use some kind of blunt non-sword-like weapon. Her competitiveness stretches to being unable to stand being inferior to the weapons of Yuki's enemies.
An interesting trait about En is that she is a weapon of justice. This comes from both her identity as the daughter of the Demon Lord of Justice and her innate nature that makes her a weapon meant to cut down evil. As seen in her initial description, En despises sin and will ruthlessly cut-down sinners.

Later when Yuu Mashiro became manager, Ikuto Yufu told Natsusa he needed to recruit people not from the team and Ethan, Sousuke and Syouta told him they wanted a beautiful sexy female, as that would motivate them more.
