Burning-Eyed Shana

Shana is a young girl with jet black hair which is almost as long as her body. She has an antenna hair ( アホ毛 , ahoge ? ) which always sticks out on the top of her head. She looks like an ordinary girl, but upon invoking her powers as a Flame Haze, her hair and eyes become crimson and she dons the black Yogasa . [6] In the anime, embers flutter from her head down. Shana is described as pretty and of Asian descent. [7] It is later confirmed that she is of Japanese descent and comes from a family of great influence. [8] She also has dark brown irises and a fair complexion. She usually has a piercing gaze. [5] Due to the effects of being a Flame Haze, Shana's physical age will remain that of a girl that appears to be around 11 or 12 years of age. [3] [4] [5] Though she becomes a student of Misaki Municipal High School , her appearance makes it dubious whether she is even old enough for middle school. [9] Her actual age is unknown, but it is speculated that she has only been a Flame Haze for a couple of years and had made the contract with Alastor when she was at least 12 years old. [1] [2] In the anime, she is 141 cm tall. [3] [4]
In her first few years as a Flame Haze, she wore all black attire consisting of a jumpsuit [10] and Yogasa in the form of a trench coat. However, after she decided to stay in Misaki City , she is most usually seen with the Misaki City Municipal High School uniform. When in combat, she has the Yogasa as a cape worn over her clothes.
Shana is seen wearing various other clothing throughout the series. Before becoming a Flame Haze, Shana wore a pink cheongsam (Chinese dress). When she went to Misaki Waterland , she wore a pink swimsuit, wearing her hair in pigtails. She is also seen wearing the Misaki Municipal High School swimming uniform on occasions when she is swimming in Physical Education classes, as well as, the white top and red pants that compose of the normal P.E. class uniform. She sometimes wears a green dress and ties her hair in a ponytail at the Sakai Residence when in the company of Chigusa Sakai . She is also seen wearing a denim jacket with pigtails, as well as a pink jumper/sweater on Christmas Eve.
She is later seen wearing a red-and-black formal dress during her stay inside the Seireiden . After freeing herself, she is seen wearing a battle-damaged white dress before Sophie requested that she change her clothes. After the battle at Seireiden, she is seen wearing a maroon-coloured shirt in Hong Kong.
After a couple of years living in Xanadu, Shana starts wearing a sleeveless black bodysuit with Yogasa hanging off her shoulders in place of her Misaki High School uniform. However, she still wears the uniform from time to time for important conferences and meetings, considering it to be her " lucky clothes ".

Initially, Shana was cold and uncaring, being concentrated solely on her duty to destroy Crimson Denizens . [11] Although she protected humanity from the Crimson Denizens, she did not care for them and was only truly concerned with preserving the balance of the world, even willing to sacrifice human lives in order to do so. She was shown to be a nihilist, as she saw little to no meaning in even the most basic of things, not even having a name until Yūji gave her one. She insisted that Yūji was only a Torch, albeit an interesting one due to his status as a Mystes , and referred to him as only an object. She also referred to herself as only a Flame Haze. However, her low opinion of Torches was justified due to the fact that all the ones she had met before Yūji were uncompromisingly selfish and desperate to hold on to what little existence they had left. Therefore, she was very surprised and confused when Yūji decided to give up his existence to restore the damage to a classroom, when she had been planning to use the existence of one of his classmates. Her opinion of him changed once and for all when he helped her in the battle against Friagne , in which he lost nearly all of his existence to the point that he would have faded were it not for the Midnight Lost Child. This act of bravery convinced Shana to finally accept Yūji as a person, which was the beginning of her slowly opening up to him and eventually falling in love with him.
When she started training Yūji, Shana was shown to be a very strict teacher, constantly criticizing him for his lack of progress and treating every training session like an actual battle. When Yūji chose to postpone training to help out the school committee, she became convinced that he wasn't taking his training seriously. Soon after, while fighting a Rinne by herself, she grew to realize how much she hated being alone [12] , something she had never realized before due to spending years with only the bodiless Alastor for company, as well as having grown up believing that a true Flame Haze doesn't rely on anybody. Once Yūji starts to show signs of progress, her attitude changes and she begins to compliment his steady increase in strength.
Even as a child, Shana was very fond of melon bread, and Alastor noted that the times she was eating it was one of the rare times she was in a good mood. She can be borderline fanatical about melon bread at times, often giving Yūji lectures on the best way to eat it and even gets disappointed when she finds that a shop has added a spice to it, going so far as to say they have no respect for its natural taste. However, it soon becomes clear she has a fondness for anything sweet; melon bread is just her favourite. She is described as having a "transcendent sweet tooth" and has been seen joyfully eating other foods such as ice cream, taiyaki, and berries. Shana is described by Alastor as being a "unique case" among Flame Hazes i.e. she's the only one who harbours no real grudge against Crimson Denizens. As such, she has no biased opinions about Denizens and recognises that not all of them cause harm to the balance, as opposed to Margery , who initially considered the idea of an 'innocent Denizen' to be laughable.

Shana has a funny habit of saying "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" whenever Yūji asks her questions or makes remarks that disturb her original worldview or embarrass her, or simply to avoid talking about something. Shana is shown to be highly intelligent as she has gotten a perfect score on every exam without ever having to study and is talented in Physical Education. However, this intelligence initially doesn't apply to her combat, with her preferred method being to just charge in blindly, forcing Yūji to do the strategizing for her. Overtime, she outgrows this style of combat and becomes more careful and strategic about how she approaches things.
It took a long time for Shana to realize that she was deeply in love with Yūji. She gets very jealous when she sees him with other girls, especially Kazumi and Fumina Konoe - ironically, her jealousy of the latter is what ultimately causes her to become friends with the former. She grows deeply hurt by all the time Yūji spends with Konoe, to the point of avoiding him as much as possible and leaving his training to Wilhelmina . After getting some advice from Kazumi that she got from Margery, namely that things aren't always what they seem, Shana decides to stick with Yūji until she finds out for sure how he feels about her. [13] As a result, Shana learns to control her jealousy and from then on isn't nearly as bothered by Yūji spending time with other girls as before. [14] She is also very considerate of Kazumi's feelings despite their mutual love for Yūji, which is shown when she chewed out Yūji for bluntly rejecting Kazumi's gift. [15]
A defining trait of Shana's early on is her complete lack of social affairs. [16] Wilhelmina, Shiro , and Alastor mostly focused on her physical and mental being, forgetting the importance of being socially adept. This was, as Alastor said, one of their mistakes, since they thought that they would just teach her these feelings when she grows up a little more, not realizing that these feelings should be developed, and could not be taught so hastily, although Shiro did teach her indirectly that love is the Strongest Unrestricted Spell . However, in Wilhelmina's case, she simply didn't bother, as she found such skills to be distracting and unnecessary for a Flame Haze. As she lived solely for her duty, Shana had disregarded interactions with others as unneeded [17] and was more emotionally immature than even her young appearance suggested. [4] As a result, Shana is frequently shown to be very naive when it comes to social affairs, not knowing the meaning behind a kiss until Chigusa explains it to her and once even unabashedly asking Kazumi and the Sakais "how babies are made". This is the reason behind her cold, ruthless personality when Yūji first met her, as she failed to see the importance of anything beyond her duties. It is also the reason behind her sometimes harsh treatment of Yūji early on, as her growing feelings for him were initially highly confusing and frustrating due to her not even knowing what love is. Through continued interactions with Yūji, Chigusa, and Kazumi, however, Shana gradually outgrows this problem, and overall becomes a much kinder, friendlier, and more empathetic person as a result of their influence. However, she can still be rather shy when meeting new people, as shown in her initial encounters with Chiara Toscana , though the two quickly become friends after Chiara shares her food with her. [18]
After encountering Yuji when merged with the Snake of the Festival , she is completely traumatized to discover what kind of person he has transformed into, as well as the fact that he defeats her so easily and strips her of her powers. After escaping the Palace of the Stars and encountering him again, however, she states that she has finally gained the resolve to face him, saying that she had been torn between the her who had to fight and the her who didn't want to, but she has now overcome that because she has found the strongest unrestricted spell; love, something Shiro had indirectly taught her years before. She vows that she will do whatever it takes to stop and defeat Yuji, and she will do so without killing him. [19] After the creation of Xanadu , hereby ending the conflict between Denizens and Flame Hazes, Shana shows just how much she loves Yuji by completely forgiving him for all that he's done and asking only for him to promise to never leave her side, to which he happily agrees. [20]

The God of Creation is zealous and would do anything to make the promises he makes come true, but he is also noble and has great self-control (which we see in his promise that he keeps to Yūji). His ambition is to fulfill his role as the Denizen’s god by fulfilling their collective prayers. He has a kind side that he shows from time to time. He is also highly intelligent, being able to think quickly on his feet to encourage his subjects. According to Yūji, he is quite talkative when it comes to granting people's wishes.

Sophie is a fairly plump, middle-aged woman. She has a light complexion, has emerald green eyes, and wears red lipstick. She wears a dark purple nun dress and a white veil on her head which comes down to her elbows and covers her neck, over a black coif. Under the veil and coif, Sophie has light brown hair which she wears in a braided ponytail. The veil is held to her forehead by Donner, Takemikazuchi's Divine Vessel . Sophie wears a circular golden pendant around her neck.

Sophie has a kind heart and is a mother figure to other Flame Haze, thus gaining her famous nickname "Mutter Courage" or "Mother Courage" ( 肝っ玉母さん , Kimottama Kāsan (Muttākurāje) ? , lit. Spirit Mother) . In the war, she showed her elegant potential in strategy and with that, was able to become the Supreme Commander of the Flame Haze Army. She usually calls her contracted Crimson Lord "Takemikazuchi-shi" (with the honorific Shi ) who, on the other hand, refers to Sophie as "Sophie Sawallisch-kun" (with the honorific Kun ). When praying, she addresses her prayers to herself instead of God. [3] She is able to keep calm and think optimistically in desperate situations. She has a habit of making the Sign of the Cross even when she is not involved with the clergy anymore.


Burning-Eyed Shana

Sorath is an extravagant occidental looking boy with beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes. He continually has a perplexed expression on his face. He usually wears a European-style red suit with a little ribbon.
In the light novels and PlayStation 2 game , Sorath takes on a different appearance, that of an armor-clad warrior, during battle.

Sorath was a Crimson Denizen who purely sought to obtain the current target of his desires to the point of obsession, the last of which was the Nietono no Shana . He was uninhibited and only showed interest for what he desired. [1] He exhibited carefree, infantile-like behavior. He had a habit of saying things, not directly talking to anyone, with the exception of Tiriel. Though being the older one, he thought and acted in a much more childish way and had to be taught everything by Tiriel.

SouthValley is a short, youthful looking man of a tanned complexion who usually has his eyes shut. He has straight brown hair that comes down to his shoulders and parts it at the front to expose his forehead. He wears a grey suit over a white shirt and brown tie. His fedora compliments his suit. SouthValley wears a poncho which has a purple, cream and brown colored pattern over his suit. He seems to have lost his left foot before his contract with Tezcatlipoca, and is now using a crudely made wooden prosthesis. Tied to the bottom of his suit jacket is a pointed stone medal named Teotl, which is Tezcatlipoca's Divine Vessel .

Of all the Four Gods of Earth, he is the only one that seems to really look down on humans, calling them "commoners", implying he was once royalty. He is also notably more vicious than his compatriots, reveling in the carnage and fear created by his walking dead as shown in the final battle in Misaki City. He is also compassionate, wanting to avenge CenterHill's death and eradicate evil.
Despite his smiling face, his voice is notably very vicious and cruel, all while retaining his smile.


Burning-Eyed Shana

Stolas' body is similar to a bird's body with only a part of its head; his face is positioned on the breast portion of his body. His face consists of a pair of eyes like that of a cat's and a mouth with jagged teeth. Stolas' body is also wrapped in feathers. His eyelids are at the bottom of his eyes and when he blinks, they come up to cover his eyes.
In the light novels and his cameo in Shakugan no Shana Second , Stolas appears much smaller. He has a rounder body shape, with his eyes being smaller and further apart. He also has smaller wings. In Shakugan no Shana Final , Stolas is much larger, with much larger wings that almost touch the ground as he walks. He has long, muscular legs, with his feet more noticeably bird-like. He is less round and is rather tall.

In contrast to his appearance, Stolas is actually a calm and polite character, probably due to his associates.


Burning-Eyed Shana

The Stray Rinne was a large humanoid in appearance. It was much taller than an average human, with its head and shoulders sticking out in a crowd of people. It had greenish-grey skin, small fangs, pointed ears, and black eyes. When it began devouring humans, its body swelled to triple the size of a human. [2]
When walking among humans, the Rinne wore a black coat, a grey bucket hat, sunglasses, and a surgical mask to avoid suspicion. [2]

The Stray Rinne was in a state of confusion after losing its master and despised Flame Haze for killing them. It had a strong will to live, as it desperately sought Power of Existence even while Shana was cutting it to pieces. [2]

Underneath his suit, he wore a khaki-colored shirt.  He had a chiseled face, with a thick nose and clearly defined cheekbones and brow ridge. He had thick eyebrows that spike out at the ends. Sydonay usually didn't take off his sunglasses, but he had purple irises. He always presented himself in a laid-back manner, and was often seen smoking. In the Great War , he wore a complete suit of armor.

He has a valorous personality, even liberating his subordinates, and has many friends (including Sokar ). If anything dangerous happens to his beloved Hecate , he rages furiously, attacking whoever is in his surroundings no matter friend or foe.
For some time, Sydonay stayed outside of the Bal Masqué organization because he wanted the freedom to do as he wanted. He strangely found pleasure in serving as a bodyguard for other Denizens , [3] [1] even seeing it as his purpose in life, [4] due to his function as a Servant of Snake of the Festival. He also appreciated human civilization enough to enjoy smoking cigarettes. Out of the Trinity, he cared for Hecate the most, coming to her rescue even when in a fight as shown during his battle with Margery as he abandoned the battle to save her from the burning flames.

The Silver has no personality, simply manifesting, with no will of its own, to the location of people with strong emotions, and do what they themselves desire to do, such as killing the people that Margery Daw expressed murderous intent towards.


Burning-Eyed Shana

Tiamat expresses her will through the Divine Vessel Persona, which takes the form of a headdress. During battle, she changes form to a mask and an innumerable number of ribbons, [1] which is Persona's true form. While the mask represents Wilhelmina's deep psyche and act of hiding her emotions, the ribbons are for battle. [2]

Tiamat is described by her own Flame Haze as a most unsociable entity; being even more taciturn and to the point than Wilhelmina, [3] saying nothing more than what is necessary, usually in monotone, betraying no emotion regardless of the situation. Unlike Wilhelmina, she is not perturbed by anything. [4]
Despite her reticence, many of her statements are harsh. As she only talks using nouns, it is very hard to read her emotions. [1]
However, while in the final battle at Misaki City , she conversed with Wilhelmina in full sentences, using the same "de-arimasu" ending to her sentences that Wilhelmina uses. It is revealed that this was her original way of speaking; a torrent of words like the waters of a great river. Wilhelmina heard Tiamat's speech style during the contract ritual and mistook "de-arimasu" to be the formal ending of a sentence for a Flame Haze.


Burning-Eyed Shana

Tiriel is an extravagant, western looking girl who is about the size of a ten year old, with beautiful, long, wavy blonde hair which reaches her back and bright blue eyes, with her attire resembling that of a little European princess. She has a fair complexion, has a small figure, and wears faint, pink lipstick. Tiriel wears red shoes with straps winding around her feet, white tights, and a pink dress. The dress has white frills at the ends, three bows in the middle, and exposes Tiriel's collarbone. A pink lace bow hangs around her neck. She wears a fancy pink hat with a red ribbon.

Tiriel was a Crimson Denizen who exhibited a distorted motherliness and love towards her brother Sorath, pampering him limitlessly. [1] She wanted only to protect him and fulfill his desires. [2] She would do so without regrets even if it meant sacrificing her Power of Existence or even her own life for her brother. Like her true name suggested, she put Sorath before herself. She was mentally fragile in that she couldn't live without her brother. [3]
Despite being the younger one, Tiriel thinks and acts in a much more mature way and teaches everything to her almost will-less brother. Their relationship is incestuous. Margery thus calls the two the "Perverted Siblings" ( 変態兄妹 , Hentai kyōdai ? ) .  On the other hand, she is also a very jealous girl. She almost strangled Sorath to death whenever he mentioned names of other females, such as Hecate . [4]
Although Shana was disgusted with their way of expressing love, she was greatly moved by Tiriel's self-sacrificial attitude and learned from her the "Uncontrollable Feeling".

[1] Later, when she was nominated for the best 10 in the costume competition, she was referred to as "Alice, or rather, the Queen of Hearts" ( アリスというよりハートの女王様 , Arisu to iu yori Hāto no Joō-sama ? ) .


Burning-Eyed Shana

Ullikummi takes form of headless giant created from steel plates. There is a white insignia in the shape of a two-headed bird on his chest.

He is a very reliant, just, and upright figure who always cares for his subordinates. While the soldiers retreat, he would be the rear guard protecting them against the pursuing enemies. Also, he is very modest as he feels anxious about his size during the preparation of Töten Glocke's marching ceremony to the Brocken fortress; he offers himself to be the last of the nine to walk. His speech is very loud and always ends with the reverberating sound of the last word.

Burning-Eyed Shana

Wilhelmina is a young, beautiful lady of Dutch descent who wears a maid outfit consisting of a long, purple dress with puffy sleeves, a white apron, and a yellow ribbon tied on her neck. She also wears a petticoat and a pair of knee-high boots. When Yūji Sakai asked her why she chose that outfit, she said she asked around about what outfit befits a person serving royalty, and the maid outfit was the answer. [2] After finding it really practical, she has worn it ever since. The vessel of her contracting Crimson Lord Tiamat assumes the form of a maid's headband.
In the Great War, she wore a long yellow gown.

Having been deeply hurt by the death of her best friend Mathilde and the heartbreak over her unrequited feelings for Merihim , Wilhelmina is very cold, aloof, stoic and pragmatic. She always speaks in monotone in an overly formal and polite manner, rarely addressing anyone by name. She uses de arimasu , the uncontracted form of desu normally seen only in writing, to end her sentences. This is translated on some subtitles and the English dub as "Indeed".
Wilhelmina is seemingly unfriendly to others, but behind her stern expression, many different emotions sway, given her a sense of fragility. [1] She usually appears to be devoid of emotion, though this is not the case. Contrary to her often emotionless expression, Wilhelmina is compassionate, especially when concerning Shana . [3] Persona's mask represents her deep psyche and is an embodiment of how she lives while always hiding her emotions. [4] She tries to hide what she is thinking through her lack of expressions and stiff speech, but her awkwardness makes her thoughts obvious to others. She is a subtly disconnected and natural airhead-like person. [5]
As her title suggests, Wilhelmina is very skillful in many areas, like singing and house chores, and is the one who took care of Shana during the girl's training at Tendōkyū . Cooking, however, is one of her weaknesses. Because of this, she usually prepares dishes which do not require cooking like instant noodles and pre-prepared dishes. In her attempt to please Shana by cooking food personally for her, she ends up trashing Yuji's mother, Chigusa's kitchen.
Like most Flame Haze, Wilhelmina prioritizes preserving the balance over protecting innocent lives. When training Shana, she didn't even bother to teach her how to be sociable, partially because she knows very little about it herself and partially because she believed such skills to be unnecessary and distracting for a Flame Haze. It's because of this reason that she attempted to kill Yuji on two occasions, believing he was distracting Shana from her duties, though this was also to prevent the Midnight Lost Child from falling into the hands of Bal Masqué. She refrained from doing so with Shana's interference, though she is still quite cold to him for a time, similar to how an overprotective mother would dislike her daughter's boyfriend. In the light novels, she even tries to make Shana give up on him by force. Eventually, she is convinced to allow Shana to grow up by Chigusa. Wilhelmina also eventually becomes good friends with Chigusa, to the point that, when she finds out she is ill, she goes out of her way to make a remedy for her in exchange for everything she had done for her and Shana.
Ultimately, while Wilhelmina tries her hardest to raise Shana, the unfortunate truth is that she simply doesn't know how. She can train Shana and provide her with melon bread, but she can't provide Shana with emotional support, she can't cook for her, and she often fails to recognize when she's in pain. She is basically completely unable to help Shana grow as a human being, because she never got a chance to live as one herself. Making matters even worse is the fact that Wilhelmina is well-aware of all of this, and her inability to support Shana when she needs it serves as a constant frustration for her, to the point that she sometimes feels she's done an inadequate job as her guardian, even if Shana herself doesn't see it that way.
Although initially being put off by the idea that she and Shana were 'family', Wilhelmina has shown time and time again that she does indeed love Shana as a mother does her daughter. This is especially shown when Shana makes a surprise dinner for her due to her saying it was a special occasion, the special occasion being the anniversary of the day Shana entered her life. [6] After learning that Shana had managed to escape from her chamber in the Seireiden by herself, Wilhelmina wholeheartedly admits that she is very proud of her, though also a bit saddened that she doesn't need to rely on her anymore. Wilhelmina initially seemed to despise the name Yuji had given her ward, 'Shana', and thus never referred to her as such. However, before parting ways at the end of the series, she finally calls her by her full title and chosen name, showcasing her relinquishing her hold over her.
In the final battle of Misaki City, Wilhelmina goes through somewhat of an existential crisis. She had spent so much of her life serving others only for them to have moved on and left her behind. Shana did not need her protection anymore and similarly, her friends, Johann and Pheles , had made their own plans that seemingly did not involve her. However, after it is revealed that the two wanted her to take care of their child, Justus , she found a new purpose for herself: to raise this child just like how she did with Shana, and hopefully not fall into the same pitfalls as with her.

Burning-Eyed Shana

Yukino is the shortest of Junko's three friends. She has short, wavy brown hair that is parted at the side. She has a light complexion.

Yukino is described as being a polite girl.


Burning-Eyed Shana

Yukio is a fairly tall young man with straight brown hair in a few spikes. He has large, purple irises and a fair complexion. [1] He is known to be quite handsome, with Junko's friends commenting that Yukio is the 'hottest' guy in the class, as well as the cameraman he meets at Jōshi Park calling him 'beautiful'. [2]

Yukio is very caring, especially to Junko. He is bright and cheerful.


Burning-Eyed Shana

Yurii is a young boy with light brown hair and brown pupils. He dresses himself with a dark brown coat worn over a light green collared shirt and he wore an unnecessary pair of eyeglasses. His Divine Vessel modeled from his family's long lost dagger, Hoverla, is attached to his waist by a holster attached to a belt.

Since Yurii completed his vengeance so quickly, he could not develop the hatred or passion vital for the cause of Flame Haze and he lacked the coolness and rationality needed for survival. He even wished to protect people with his own life, an idea which other Flame Haze thought of as dangerous, especially EastEdge, who had forbidden him to engage in combat with enemies. Valac once noted that Yurii cares too much for humans, to the point of hating Crimson Denizens . He still thinks of himself as a human even after becoming a Flame Haze.


Burning-Eyed Shana

Yūji is a young man with neck-length dark hair, black in the novels and dark brown in the anime, and a fair complexion. He has dark brown irises in the novels and dark blue irises in the anime. He is 15 years of age at the beginning of the series and is 165cm tall. [1] [2] [3] Initially, his face was usually dull but he could make more tense expressions during crucial moments. [4] After struggling through battles against Crimson Denizens along with Shana, his countenance became more resolute. [5]
Yūji usually wore the Misaki City Municipal High School uniform.
After merging with the Snake of the Festival, Yūji was given the waist-length Dragon Tail hair and the red and black armor Bakuyagai . When Dragon Tail is unequipped, Yūji's hair returns to its normal length and Dragon Tail changes form to a black scarf.
After his separation with the Snake of the Festival, Yūji still possesses both Bakuyagai and Dragon Tail which he equips in battles. Normally, he continues to wear Dragon Tail as a black scarf in winter, and as a bolo tie in summer. [6]

Yūji was initially a subtly shrewd but indecisive person. [4] He is easygoing, [2] kind, sociable, compassionate, and puts the well-being of others before his own. This drew much confusion and annoyance from Shana, as prior Torches from Shana's experience exhibited selfish attitudes. However, he is far from a pushover; he took being considered a mere 'thing' very harshly, insisting that even if he was just residue of his former self, he was still Yūji Sakai and didn't hesitate to call out Shana for her nihilism and lack of empathy, going so far as to call her "heartless" due to her flippant attitude over essentially taking over Yukari Hirai 's life. However, Yūji has been shown on several occasions to be too helpful for his own good. An example of this is when he agreed to help out the school committee in place of Matake Ogata , when he had already agreed with Shana to do more training after school. When Shana questioned him about this, he claimed that he didn't have a choice, prompting Shana to point out that he could have simply refused. [7] After Yoshida finds out that he is a Torch, he chooses to abandon Shana and run after her to explain himself. He is shown to deeply regret dragging Yoshida into The Truth of This World , even saying at one point that if there's one thing in his past he could change, it would be that.
Yūji's ability to be quick-witted and remain cool-headed during emergencies is something respected even by the Flame Haze who stayed in Misaki City. [8] Although he lacks the training and discipline of a Flame Haze, he has demonstrated an admirable amount of intelligence and logic, often thinking outside the box and solving puzzles others can't. It is also shown that Yūji is able to remain calm in any situation no matter how dangerous it is. This allows him to think aggressively during combat and counter his enemies with the same level of aggressiveness. Due to that, he has been referred to as a brutal genius by both Flame Haze and Denizens. Yūji's sharpness during battles contrasted how he usually was in ordinary situations and Shana and Kazumi Yoshida were attracted to different aspects of his dual nature, Shana to the part of him which she could rely on in battle and Yoshida to his usual nature in everyday life. [9]
Before learning he had the Reiji Maigo inside him, Yūji was determined to make proof that he existed, going so far as to give up much of his Power of Existence to repair the damage to a classroom, something that had never been done by any other Torch Shana had met. Ultimately, he developed a somewhat optimistic, yet ultimately fatalistic view of his life. Even when he believed he was slated to perish as a Torch, Yūji took the information in stride after the initial shock, and did not seem too disturbed or melancholy with the idea that everyone would simply forget about him. After discovering that he had the Reiji Maigo inside him and was effectively immortal, however, he was relieved and gained a desire to help Shana in her battles, asking Shana to train him in case any other Denizens come to attack Misaki City . While initially unable to fight, Yūji is able to help Shana through his intelligence and insight, and has done so numerous times. Wilhelmina describes him as a very unique boy, and wonders how he can view the world the way he does. [10]
Yūji is also shown to be highly oblivious to Shana and Yoshida's feelings for him, even when clearly noticeable by his friends. [11] He believed there was no way they could be interested in him. He has come close to figuring it out several times, but always dismisses it as his imagination. As a result of his obliviousness, Yūji is prone to doing things that end up hurting Shana or Yoshida's feelings when he has no intention of doing so. When Fumina Konoe first comes to Misaki City, Yūji ends up helping her a great deal due to her being incredibly helpless. However, this causes a great deal of grief and jealousy to both Shana and Yoshida. Even after Hayato Ike points out the effect Yūji's actions are having on the girls, he can't even begin to understand why. [12] He was indecisive about choosing between Shana and Yoshida as he was a person who gets carried away by logic and unconsciously sensed and understood that his everyday life would change if he confessed to either of them. Cherishing his everyday life after experiencing the harshness of matters concerning the Crimson Realm , he was uncomfortable with making a decision. [13]
Later on, Yūji's personality undergoes a change for the worse and he begins to lose some of his kind nature, becoming cold and indifferent towards others. This is shown when he bluntly rejects Kazumi's gift that she brought for him and his mother , saying that the two of them live in different worlds and he can't keep accepting things from her, [14] though he later apologizes after being chewed out for it by Shana. [15] He also becomes more ruthless, such as when he kills one of the Jaeger Zarovee 's duplicates with his bare hands and then proceeds to incinerate the rest. After Bal Masqué puts a transmitter on the Midnight Lost Child, Yūji starts taking his training more seriously, as noted by Shana and Wilhelmina, though this results in him getting ahead of himself and requesting training he's not ready for yet, forcing Wilhelmina, Margery and Marchosias to remind him that he has to be patient. He also decides it's finally time for him to leave Misaki City, believing that he'll just attract more trouble and keep putting the city in danger if he stays. However, this draws criticism from Shana and, to a lesser extent, Kazumi, neither of whom believe he's actually serious about leaving, with Shana outright accusing him of lying to himself. Though he denies this at first, Yūji comes to accept it as the truth during the ambush from Sabrac , having realized the city won't be safe even if he does leave. As a result, he gains a strong desire to protect Misaki City and everyone who lives in it, believing that it's what he has to do. However, that desire comes to an abrupt end when he mysteriously vanishes on the night of Christmas Eve. [16]
After merging with the Snake of the Festival , Yuji's personality undergoes a very drastic change. He is shown to be very ruthless and downright cruel at times, such as when he callously reveals to Margery the truth about the Silver for no reason other than to put her out of commission, as well as telling Kazumi that he returned her letter simply to give her some hope. He is also quite manipulative, as he eventually exploits Kazumi's unrequited feelings for him in order to further Bal-Masque's plans. He seems to have grown even more innocently insensitive, as he has a very difficult time understanding that he completely traumatized Shana after defeating her easily and rendering her powerless, and sincerely doesn't get why she becomes so upset when he tries to get close to her afterward. The calm part of his personality also reaches alarming levels, as he remains eerily calm and smiling regardless of what he is currently talking about. His personality overall is very similar to that of the Snake, as the two are almost always on the same wavelength, though this could simply be the result of them sharing a body.
When Yuji comes face-to-face with Johann , he speculates that Yuji is underestimating love, which is why he doesn't even trust Shana with the details of his plan. While Yuji initially dismisses this as nothing but a naive viewpoint, he eventually comes to realise that the entire conflict between him and Shana could have been avoided if he had simply trusted her more and asked for her help in creating Xanadu , but ultimately believed that Shana would always consider her duty as a Flame Haze to be more important than him. As Johann puts it, he became so fixated on his goal that he ended up neglecting the one person that goal was supposed to benefit most, and Shana even calls him out for not telling her his true plan from the beginning. Wrecked with guilt over all that he's done, Yuji decides that he has to atone by wandering Xanadu and teaching the Denizens how to co-exist with the humans- alone. Shana and Alastor , however, are disgusted that he believes that this is what he has to do, with the former calling him out for never considering what she wants. Even after being defeated by Shana and recalling Johann's words (that it's okay for him to be a little selfish), Yuji still doesn't believe he deserves to be with Shana after all he's done. Shana, however, assures him that in spite of all of it, she forgives him, she still loves him, and she desires only for him to be with her forever. Yuji agrees, but nevertheless maintains the belief that he has to make amends, as he knows that not everyone will be as forgiving as Shana. [17]

In his former appearance, he looks like a muscular man with slightly better than average height, with black, slightly graying hair and black eyes. He had an intimidating aura.
His current appearance is average, with a gentle aura, dark brown hair, and eyes. His hairstyle is short but varies by series, with the novels being the most generic, the anime the most stylized, and the manga somewhere between the two styles, sometimes appearing closer to one than the other. In the old web novel, his appearance is explicitly mentioned to have been modified by one of the gods, [3] though it is unknown if this is the case for the other series.

Ryoma is a kind person who cares for others when they need help. As a result, he tends to overreact to his mistakes; when he fixes them, people are surprised as the Earth's standards do not exist in the new world. (His giving of holidays to his employees at Laundry Agency Bamboo Forest surprised them; since he had worked for an exploitive company, he wished never to inflict that horror on them). The only real disappointment he suffered when he learned he died was learning he died in a lame way.
As he has 42 years of experience, it surprised adults that an 11-year-old kid could be so rational, well-learned, and mature. However, he is suffering infantile regression of his emotional maturity due to his young body, making it very hard to mask or contain his emotions. Beyond that, Ryoma retains all memory of his Earth life, allowing him to think outside the box where others would get stuck.
While he lovingly remembers his mother, he has nothing but bitter memories of his father; heavily implying he is the one person Ryoma hates. A flashback shows Ryoma being bullied as a kid at school, with the bully missing his head with a punch, hitting a wall, and hurting his hand. His father was called in and abusively beat him up in front of the teacher to the point Ryoma was puking blood! His father's reason was that he did that to avoid wasting more of his time; he didn't care about Ryoma, only his stupid smithing job. Ryoma would note his father wasted all their money on materials and reference books; leaving Ryoma's mother to die from overworking.

This was displayed in a conversation between Ersha and Ange in the Misurugi Palace.

Angelise is a beautiful young girl with long, golden hair and pink eyes (describe by Embryo "burning eyes" or "flaming eyes"). She has a slender yet voluptuous figure with a well-endowed chest. After her training on Arzenal, she gains tone. During her time as an imperial princess, she frequently wore dresses.

Caligula

From her first appearance in-game, Aria is in a fairy-like state due to μ taking over control in Mobius by having μ's songs play around thanks to the Ostinato Musicians. She has bright amber eyes and in her small form, Aria is seen wearing the same Kishimai High School blazer with an altered emblem that's exclusive to her with a different design from every student in Mobius, wears a short red skirt and short red heels in-game whereas her promotional art shows to be yellow heels. What appears to be a choker surrounding her neck has a special megaphone dangling from it to almost resemble a bell from how it is presented, a motif that is well associated with Aria in relation to her true form. Her ponytail can also be seen in the shape of a bell as well. She's also seen wearing studio headphones to fit with her music side being a Virtuadoll.
In her true form, Aria still retains her studio headphones and megaphone choker but appear smaller due to Aria no longer being small. Her ponytail appears smaller as well sticking out less but still retaining the bell form going out. She has a similar all white outfit that μ has with some differences setting them apart: she has a short summer dress with the cut going to the bottom of her chest meeting with a black belt and white belt with golden buckles fastening the area, across her chest going from her right shoulder to below her left arm is a golden strap that is connected to the red cape on her left shoulder giving a matador/general feel to have some flow to her design, the actual Kishimai High School emblem on the left side of her chest, a golden hip accessory surrounding her back and leaving an opening in the front similar to μ's, white tights, white high ankle boots with a golden rim, and two large bells as her back accessory similar to μ's wing accessory accompanied with the blue, white, and red ribbons tied with it.

Aria appears to have a super playful personality and is very outgoing in comparison to μ, oftentimes even prompting herself and her album as a Virtuadoll when people take notice of her. With her outgoing and confident nature, Aria is also very understanding and shows a sensitive and caring side when Go-Home Club members and others are in distress. Not one to beat around the bush, she tends to call out a situation if it's going south or just downright weird. Like to throw in some English phrases when she speaks such as "Are you ready?" or her most well-known line "Go live~!" when she's ready to help tune someone's heart to awaken to their Catharsis Effect.


Caligula

Ayana has shoulder-length brown hair and eyes.
She wears the Kishimai High School uniform, albeit modified. She has a two-toned colored ribbon around her neck collar, colored purple and pink. Additionally, she wears a black blouse that comes down to her calves, which also has a half-flower design in white at its top. Her shoes have white laces, and she also wears white stockings.
Ayana's Catharsis Effect weapon is a large black disk with a handle at the end and four prongs on the other end. Below the handle, there is a large white flower symbol, though this is not as visible in the in-game model as it is in the illustration. She wields this stun gun with her right hand and steadies it with her left. In battle, her Catharsis Effect is usually surrounded by arcs of electricity.
Her Catharsis Effect items are white gloves with a single black stripe around the tops, a visor over her eyes, and a headpiece with two prongs at the back of her head. Her Catharsis Effect also shreds her sleeves where they meet the gloves, though no other alterations occur otherwise.

Due to an incident that led to her entering Mobius , Ayana possesses an extreme fear of men to the point of turning violent. She cannot stand being in the presence of one and will either scream in terror or forcibly remove them from her presence. Her overall opinion of males is also very harsh.
That being said, she does not go out of her way to be hateful of every male she meets. Some exceptions, such as the male Protagonist, she is comfortable being around though she does request that he keeps his distance. She also has nothing negative to say about Shogo Satake , as she understands he shares a similar, but less severe, fear of someone of the opposite gender. In her Character Episode, the protagonist and Aria also convince her to try talking to Izuru Minezawa and Kensuke Hibiki , and she comes out of those conversations with more respect for both of them.
Ayana is otherwise a very friendly girl who enjoys spending her time with others where she noticeably enjoys spending her time with the other female members of the Go-Home Club ; especially the female protagonist that she even expresses a romantic interest in her.


Caligula

Gin’s normal form is the Tatefushi Academy uniform with some modifications, such as a yellow long-sleeve shirt under the blazer, which has a patch with blue roses over his heart, and a white shirt under that. He has long pants and white sneakers with purple accents, and he completes the ensemble with a yellow cap with a white X on it. His outfit matches the color scheme of the non-binary flag.
His Catharsis Effect changes his pants into shorts, revealing his legs which are now black and which end in high heels. He has golden tape around his chest that winds around his neck, and his blue roses bloom over his heart.

Gin is the protagonist’s best friend: a kind friend with a manly side. With his personality that can read the mood and be considerate, he has many friends of all genders. When asked whether most of them are guys or girls on WIRE, he states that he has an equal amount of guys and girls as his friends and he doesn’t discriminate. He commonly refers to the girls in the Go-Home Club by their first name, which is typically considered overly friendly for boys to do. When confronted about it, he admits that it's a bad habit of his.
He has a dorky side, being entranced with trains and comic books, usually stating that the things he likes are things that every guy likes after being questioned about it. Yet, he’s also shown to be capable and responsible when under pressure.
He also isn’t afraid to fight dirty, even coming up with the idea to throw Machina in front of a train when he refused to stand down after their battle.


Caligula

Izuru has medium-length blond hair that frames his face, as well as stern gray eyes. He wears a modified version of the school uniform; underneath the blazer he wears a cream-colored sweater with gold buttons, and under that he wears a black turtleneck. Over his uniform he wears a long black coat with a fur collar. The inside of the coat is a dark maroon or purple, with stylized designs of his Catharsis Effect's flowers in red, white, and blue.
His Catharsis Effect's weapon takes the form of a long katana-like sword with a black handle and silver guard. His skin blackens up to the wrist on his right hand, which is the hand he wields his sword with. His Catharsis Effect item is a mask that covers the left side of his face. In the illustration, the mask has flower designs reminiscent of the ones inside his coat, as well as various white spikes and protrusions and what looks to be a jaw piece. However, the model simply has a rounded dome-like helmet appearance and lacks the flower designs or visible protrusions.

Izuru is a very individualistic and detached person, preferring to do things on his own wherever he can. His cool and aloof nature makes him very popular among Mobius' denizens. However, his emotional detachment also makes it hard for other people to connect to him, as shown with his stoicism regarding Shogo's attempts to recruit him.
He's also shown a somewhat crazed side to himself, as he admitted to scarring his own face in the real world; later, when trapped in Mobius, he attempted to do so again multiple times with him proudly telling others that the scars were the first thing he obtained all on his own without anyone's giving it to him or helping him, further showing his intense desire to obtain independence.
It's implied that he is stressed by females, as most of them always after him due his face. Regardless whether the girls has romantic interest or not (as with the jewelry shop owner), Izuru would quickly go away from them due his long time experiences.


Caligula

Kensuke has short blond hair and gray eyes. He also wears black rectangular-framed glasses. He wears a modified version of the school outfit, with a white sweater instead of the usual dress shirt. He also wears a black scarf with several embroidered flowers similar to his Catharsis Effect's flowers. Instead of the school outfit's dress shoes, he wears black boots with bright yellow socks.
His Catharsis Effect's weapon takes the form of a large flat-ended claymore. One side of it is white, and the other side of it is black; this side has three notches near the base that intersect with the centerpiece. The centerpiece is also white, with a flower symbol near the arrow-shaped tip. The blade is curved at the bases, which connects to the large black guard. The handle is black and takes the appearance of twisted-together pieces of metal, and the pommel has a large spike at the end. In this form, his right hand up to the forearm is blackened, and his outfit is also shredded similarly.
His Catharsis Effect item is illustrated as a set of four white petal-like wings with black tips. It also appears to shred the back of his shirt. In-game, he has six white petal-like pieces that hang like armor behind his back, and the effects of this on his back are hidden by his coat or simply not modelled.

Kensuke was at first shown to be cool and confident, but by the Stork Arc, this mask is completely dropped.
Kensuke is actually quite cunning, sending Naruko Morita on a wild goose chase during the Sweet-P arc. He’s also shown to be a bit of a pervert, especially during the Stork arc. He’s very much a teenage boy in that respect.
However, he is shown to be apologetic if it makes people uncomfortable. Ayana Amamoto once tells him this, and it seems to click in his head that he’s been making her uncomfortable, and he deeply apologizes to her for his actions.


Caligula

Kiriko has a short, blonde bob and brown eyes. She wears a long pink shirt and a short pink skirt underneath it. She wears the Tatefushi Academy blazer over her shirt, and has pink and white sneakers.
With her Catharsis Effect, she adds a headband that extends down to her mid-back and has a sheath tied to her stomach.

Kiriko acts as the big sister of the second-generation Go-Home Club . She is very responsible, though she seems to hate this distinction. She believes in deciding how she lives before anyone else does.


Caligula

Seven years ago, before the events of Caligula Overdose , Koki was a fan of the underground idol group named Uzume Corps . He stalked one of the members, Himari Minamide , but was eventually pushed away due to his unwanted attention. Angered by the rejection, he then assaulted the idol after a meet and greet. He was waiting for the idol outside the event venue and bashed her head in with a metal bat. The event traumatized Ayana Amamoto , a fellow member of the group, and pushed her androphobia to the extreme. He was charged with attempted murder, but a talented lawyer by the name of Eiji Biwasaka won his innocence by claiming insanity. Koki was sent to a mental institution for treatment afterward. He was released after several months and was to continue with outpatient treatment. However, he went under the radar.
He also murdered Kuchinashi 's family by committing arson (the criminal act of deliberately setting fire to property).


Caligula

Kotaro is a tall boy with slicked-back black hair and grey eyes. He wears the regular school uniform, but he leaves his blazer open and wears a floral-print black shirt underneath the blazer. He also wears a pair of white sunglasses on top of his head.
His Catharsis Effect takes the shape of large cylindrically-sectioned gauntlets, floating just above his arms. At the tops of these gauntlets, and the sides of the bottom-most parts, there is a reflective flower symbol. His arms are blackened all the way up to his shoulders, where his outfit is also affected. Attached to his arms is some sort of black segmented armor, possibly related to his wish or reason for coming to Mobius.

Kotaro is a headstrong boy who can sometimes be very stubborn. He is considered the heart of the group, as he is sometimes the only person who can keep the group together (such as after Eiji and Ayana's fight in the Sun Temple in Overdose ). While he may talk like a delinquent or like he's looking for trouble, Kotaro cares a lot about his fellow club members and shows concern for their wellbeing.
Kotaro also has a strong sense of right and wrong, and could be considered to have a hero complex. His fascination with justice and saving people is related to his wish and reason for coming to Mobius.


Caligula

Kotono has long straight brown hair with a blue flower pinned into the left side of her hair. She also has brown eyes. She wears a slightly modified school outfit; she wears black stockings and the design of her shirt is different. Instead of a normal white dress shirt, her shirt seems to have a different design and a flowery design along the collar.
Her Catharsis Effect weapon is a bow with twisted ends; in the illustration it is blue-tinted, but its model in-game is the same red-tinted as the other Go-Home Club members' Catharsis Effects. Her left arm is blackened up to the forearm, and her outfit is modified to the same area. Her arrows are long white stakes with no tips, and the fletchings are black wedges.
Her Catharsis Effect also modifies her entire lower body. She gains a white wing-like shroud, as well as two looped white belts with metal ends that have special black-colored slots for her arrows. Between the shroud and her skirt, the flowers of her Catharsis Effect also bloom. Her legs, which are entirely black, are marked with a flower sigil on the thigh. Her shoes transform into grey heels.

In the real world, Kotono is actually a single mother with a son named Takkun. Her ex-boyfriend accidentally impregnated her in high school and left soon after, forcing her to look after Takkun by herself. The event itself made her somewhat misandrist, neglecting and even physically abusing Takkun for being male. She entered Mobius when she heard one of μ's songs while she was working at her mother's bar.


Caligula

Kranke has messy white hair that reaches to about her chin, obscuring much of the left side of her face. She has droopy grey eyes, and thick eyelashes that often make her eyes look half-closed, as well as slight red eyebags. Around her neck, she wears a seemingly metallic bronze choker, as well as an orange and white ribbon over her chest. She also has a brown and green diamond patterned shawl draped over her shoulders, a cream shirt that falls off of her shoulders, a long dark turquoise skirt and pink socks, with brown loafers over them. Her hands and ankles are bandaged.
Kranke uses a manual wheelchair, which is mostly off-white in colour.

For as long as she can recall, Kranke had lived in a hospital. Afflicted with a rare, incurable disease, her life consisted of little other than wasting away in the private ward her wealthy parents forced her into.
Knowing her chances of recovery were nil, Kranke opted against any rehabilitation. Instead, she spent her days idly playing music on a keyboard she had been gifted.
She made no attempt to get along with the medical staff treating her. After all, her future was a dead end. At the same time, her illness wasn't terminal, so she wouldn't die, either. That was simply the way it was.
Then, when she turned ten, a doctor appeared before her. He worked tirelessly, dedicating his efforts to saving her life. What truly saved her, however, was the vibrant smile he wore when they were together.
From that day on, her monochrome life suddenly began to take on meaning. Kranke had fallen in love with the doctor.
Kranke and the doctor bonded through music. It was the only hobby Kranke had to speak of, and so she began to teach the doctor from square one.
Everything he did was in the aim of connecting with Kranke to understand her better. The lengths to which he was willing to go moved her deeply.
"If we're going to do this, we may as well start from scratch."
With that, the two began composing with virtuadolls--a girl sheltered from the outside, and her doctor, eager to show her its beauty. At times, the music they wove was more eloquent than words. Kranke adored the sincerity in the doctor's work. It was as if it were him singing through the virtuadoll.
Ten years came and went since her and the doctor first met.
The day she reached twenty years of age, the doctor told her about a surgery he wished to conduct.
A successful case overseas had shed light on a procedure that could possibly cure her legs of their affliction.
Kranke realized that, deep down, she did not want to be cured.
"If my illness is cured, won't he start drifting away from me?"
It was their relationship as doctor and patient that bound her to him. The thought of losing that connection filled her with terror.
Kranke refused to consent to the surgery. But the doctor, refusing to budge, repeatedly attempted to persuade her, to the point where tears brimmed in his ardent eyes.
It wasn't that Kranke feared the chance of failure. But the truth would be even harder for him to accept. After all, his integrity as a physician would prevent him from granting her wish: for her to stay infirm, under his care.
Eventually, Kranke gave in to the doctor's desperate pleas to carry out the surgery. That night, she wept alone in silence, steeling herself for their parting.
But then the surgery failed. She was relieved at heart. Evidently, God was watching over her. Though her legs were now fully immobile, she couldn't care less, so long as she could remain her doctor's patient.
What she got was more than she ever imagined. The doctor began pushing her around in her wheelchair at all times. He would neglect his other patients to stay beside her. Above all else, she was glad they could spend more time together.
But that was only the start. The doctor's overwhelming guilt and despair over the failed surgery warped his very being. His bright eyes dulled, and his smile faded.
The songs Kranke once loved grew grim in tone, their melodies made into refrains of anguish. Regret surfaced, not from her now-inert legs, but because Doktor changed.
"I never should've had that surgery."
The musical work the pair did on a whim was discovered. Bluffman's invitation arrived soon after. Then, just as Doktor had wished, Kranke's legs were cured in Redo.
Even so, Kranke pretended to be unable to walk, for as long as she remained infirm, Doktor would never leave her. By that same token, only when she could walk would he smile again. But no matter how much she knew it, Kranke could not muster up the courage.
She could not bring herself to trust that their bond went any further than her condition.

Kuchinashi is a fairly short woman with black and white hair with the lower half of her face covered by a gas mask. She wears a silver jacket with a blue interior over a short with tears at the end and black shorts. She wears black sneakers with white soles with straps and blue socks.

Kuchinashi is one of the more quiet members of the Musicians, but like the rest she believes that Mobius is a paradise for those who are rejected by reality. She also has a fierce dedication, fueled by her intense hatred towards Eiji Biwasaka , claiming that, even if she has to die, she won't allow the Go-Home Club to return to the real world.

Kudan has short, maroon hair, with magenta eyes and eye-shadow alongside a beauty mark beneath her right eye. She wears an over-sized, faded-green military jacket over top a school uniform. Additionally, she wears dark platform shoes, a yellow and orange neckerchief, and has several silver ear-piercings. She wears what resembles a red banner with beige tassels  - centering an emblem resembling a dove - attached to her jacket. She is often seen smoking cigarettes in her downtime.

Kudan is cunning, conniving, and manipulative. As Bluffman 's assistant, she is the primary point of contact for many of the musicians. She treats such a position as nothing more than a game of chess; treating them as her own subordinates, commanding them to do her, Bluffman, and Regret's bidding, and exploiting their weaknesses for her own gain. [2] Using her aptitude for logic and intellect, Kudan discerned that the Go-Home Club was largely a non-violent organization, and that by confronting them, they would not use lethal force against her. Although she predicted such an outcome following her defeat, she had not anticipated Niko's pure hatred towards her, and reminisced how the young girl and her father bore many similarities.


Caligula

Marie has long, light brown hair that she ties into two braids with a light blue ribbon. Part of her bangs are tucked to the right side of her face with a black hairpin. She wears the standard Tatefushi Academy uniform, consisting of a black blazer over a white button up shirt, a golden tie and a dark grey pleated skirt. Marie carries around a brown leather bag with a white and black strap that goes over her shoulder. Attached to her bag is a bright yellow strap with an emblem resembling that of Kishimai High School.
Her Catharsis Effect weapon takes the form of two dual pistols. Her arms are blackened and torn but her hands are still visible. A spine protrudes along her back to meet two small, black wings at her lower waist.

Marie is a very gentle and kind-hearted person, but can be considered a bit of a pushover at times. Despite this she enjoys helping other people and goes out of her way to do so, such as when she asks the player to think of something she can to make up for them helping her carry some books. Marie says that she likes to think that people can depend on her, describing it as a 'warm feeling' knowing that she's needed.
Throughout the game Marie is shown to be very dedicated towards the president and the Go Home club, wanting for everyone to be able to go home no matter what, even if her own reality is not as desirable.


Caligula

Marie is a young lady with light brown hair, with a black hairpin tucking some of her bangs on the right side of her face, with a long neat braid tied off with a light blue ribbon. She wears the Kishimai jacket with a white blouse underneath, a black and yellow tie, a short black pleated skirt, black tights, and black shoes.

At an initial glance, Marie appears to be a gentle, kindly girl concerned with the well-being of her friends and associates.
In reality, this is a front. As the Ostinato Musician Wicked, she's a mean-spirited sociopath who loves to break people's bonds and savor the despair and betrayal that follows.
