"Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi"

 * Alpha Bitch: Altezza is the princess version of this before she gets better.
 * Ascended Extra: Altezza was nothing more than the Alpha Bitch in the beginning of the series, but during the second half, she accompanies Fine and Rein on their journey and even gets a costume upgrade.

Bright
"Voiced by: Tetsuya Kakihara"

Bright is the prince of the Jewelry Kingdom and is known as the no. 1 idol in the Wonder Planet. He's patient and somewhat of a pacifist, and despite that all the girls adore him, he loves Fine out of them all. This makes him feel threatened when Fine starts hanging around Eclipse...


 * Bishonen: Complete with Love Bubbles and Bishie Sparkle.
 * Chick Magnet
 * Double Entendre: Bright does a rather... inappropriate dance at the Samba Festival to rein in a crowd. Does This Remind You of Anything?

 * Prince Charming: Bright is well-loved among the ladies of the Wonder Planet.
 * Sibling Yin-Yang

Shade (Eclipse)
"Voiced by: Junko Minagawa"

Shade is the prince of the Moon Kingdom, but masquerades under a secret alias known as "Eclipse." He prefers to carry out his plans in the shadows and becomes somewhat protective over Rein when she is in danger.


 * All Girls Want Bad Boys
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Badass Normal: That one fight scene in episode 26 really shows how badass he can be.
 * Big Brother Instinct: Not only is Shade protective of his mom, but he's also fond of Milky. Official profiles state that he is sweet to Milky and likes spoiling her.
 * Big Brother Mentor: Shade becomes this to Tio in the second half of the first series, though it was more like Tio following him without his permission.
 * Bishonen: Rein even pictures him in Love Bubbles and a Bishie Sparkle once. He's also apparently popular with the maids in the Sunny Kingdom in the manga.
 * Chick Magnet
 * Code Name: Shade goes under the name "Eclipse" when he's out of the palace in his trenchcoat guise until the second half of the series when Fine and Rein realize who he is. This trope is disregarded in the manga, where "Eclipse" is really his name.
 * Cross-Dressing Voices: Junko Minagawa does a believable portrayal of him, since he does sound like an actual prepubescent boy and his voice is deeper than Tetsuya Kakihara (Bright) and Hiro Shimono (Auler), who are both males themselves, but this only gets hilarious when you realize she can't exactly hit the low notes in the Christmas Album.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Official Couple: With Fine.
 * Paper-Thin Disguise: Look at Shade. Now look at Eclipse. Nice job disguising yourself.
 * Secret Identity
 * The Rival: Bright viewed Eclipse as this before Shade revealed his identity.

Milro
"Voiced by: Sachi Sukigara"

Milro is the shy, artistic princess of the Drop Kingdom.


 * Alpha Bitch: Milro was this and The Ojou with a Noblewoman's Laugh in the manga adaptation due to the manga artist's Alternate Character Interpretation of her.
 * An Ice Person: In the manga, Milro has ice powers.
 * Demoted to Extra: Not that she was part of the main ensemble from the beginning, but she suspiciously doesn't show up very much in Gyu!
 * Fan Nickname: The Japanese fans often called her Tanuki, which is Japanese for "raccoon."
 * Ice Queen: Milro was this in the manga and even had ice powers!
 * Put on a Bus
 * Shrinking Violet
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Confusion has been abound as to how exactly Milro's name is spelled. In a letter in episode 19 of the first series and the second character fanbook, her name was romanized as "Milro." The first fanbook spelled it as "Mirlo", but it seems to have been a mispelling. The fansubs romanize her name via the Japanese pronunciation, "Miruro." It's commonly accepted that "Milro" is the right spelling and "Mirlo" was just an error that was subsequently corrected in the second fanbook.

 * Dogged Nice Guy: Not because of the Unusual Ears, of course!
 * Hopeless Suitor: Until the end of the first series.
 * Official Couple: Auler has always liked Altezza, and fortunately, they get together at the end of the first series.
