Hime
"Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (anime), Saori Hayami (OVA)(JP), Shelley Calene-Black (EN)"

The titular character of the series. She is the second royal princess, daughter of the king of all monsters. She appears as a young aristocratic woman wearing Gothic clothing. Her real name is  but she dislikes people calling her by it. Although her siblings are busy fighting for the throne, she shows no interest in it. She resurrects Hiro on a whim after he dies, thinking him interesting enough to be her servant. -

 * Elegant Gothic Lolita
 * Femme Fatalons
 * Hair of Gold

 * Kuudere
 * Lady of War
 * Mama Bear: To her friends and servants, as quiet as she keeps it.
 * My Greatest Failure:
 * Nightmare Fuel: Hime can be more than capable of handing this out.
 * The Ojou
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: As she's a Royal.

Hiro Hiyorimi
"Voiced by: Fuyuka Ooura (anime), Miyu Irino (OVA)(JP), Blake Shepard (EN)"

The protagonist who dies at the beginning of the series (in the manga he was hit by the station wagon Flandre is driving, whereas in the anime he is hit by a falling iron pillar). He finds himself in Hime's service as he is bound to her because her blood revived him. Though young and not very strong, Hiro manages to assist Hime (mostly by being a human shield) through his "half-immortality" that was given to him after his resurrection.


 * Alliterative Name
 * An Axe to Grind: His typical Weapon of Choice.
 * Battle Butler
 * Bishonen: Depending
 * Bodyguard Crush: Possibly. Either that or its just the whole Blood Warrior thing making him a tad clingy.
 * Butt Monkey: At the beginning of the series, at least.
 * Color Failure: An interesting version (at least in the manga). All the colour is "drained" out of him whenever Hime is in danger.
 * Cross-Dressing Voices: With Fuyuka in the anime.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Can be plenty badass when the time calls for it.
 * Flat Character: There isn't much character development to him outside of learning the ways of the monster world. Half the time he's just following Hime around or happens to be in an area of monster activity.
 * Future Badass: You better believe it. If the bad future is anything to show.
 * Hellish Pupils: Whenever Hime is in danger.
 * Immortal Life Is Cheap: He dies at least once a chapter.
 * Psychic Link: Between him and Hime.
 * The Watson
 * UST: Not sure how to look at this with Hime, but a possible interpretation.
 * UST: Not sure how to look at this with Hime, but a possible interpretation.

Riza Wildman
"Voiced by: Yuko Kaida (anime), Eri Kitamura (OVA)(JP), Luci Christian (EN)"

A half-breed tomboy girl who has a werewolf father, called Volg Wildman, and a human mother. Being of mixed blood, Riza can only transform her arms up to her elbow and her physical combat capabilities can't compare to that of a pure breed, though she is many times stronger than a normal human.


 * Action Girl
 * Badass
 * Badass Adorable: She may be cute, but she rips monsters apart like they're nothing.
 * Badass Biker: Occasionally.
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * It seems to be the werewolves' hat.
 * Bash Brothers: Frequently teams up with Hiro.
 * Blood Knight
 * Boobs of Steel: In the OVAs.
 * Catch Phrase:
 * I am Riza Wildman, daughter of the great warrior, Volg Wildman!
 * Cute Little Fangs
 * Foe Yay: Quite a bit with Reiri.
 * Les Yay
 * Gamer Chick: Plays with Hiro sometimes. Ironically, she Doesn't Know Mortal Kombat (Hiro says she never bothered to read the instructions). She even lampshades the irony that Hiro is good at the game but, at this point in time, is useless in real life.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Half-human, half-werewolf.
 * Idiot Hero: Not actually stupid but she occasionally does things on impulse that, had she actually stopped to think about them, she'd never do.
 * Idiot Ball: Literally holds it in Princess Seabed. She gets smacked with it again
 * Lampshaded by Riza herself in the second OVA when preparing to ram the train. She remarks that if she thought about it, it would be a bad idea, but that thinking about it wasn't her thing.
 * Proud Warrior Race Guy
 * Spell My Name With an "S": Riza vs. Liza vs. Lisa etc.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: With Reiri.
 * Tsundere: Hiro often gets the brunt of her "dere" side. And Reiri the "tsun".

Reiri Kamura
"Voiced by: Mamiko Noto (anime), Aki Toyosaki (OVA)(JP), Emily Neves (EN)"

A female vampire who attends the same school as Hiro. She has long black hair, always dresses in a dark sailor fuku, and has idol status in her school. At first, she greatly detests Riza but their relations change gradually for the better. Other than the blood from Royalty, she also prefers blood from virgins, girls and "cute" guys. -
 * Action Girl: When she feels like it.
 * Animorphism: As a vampire she has the "swarm of bats" variant.
 * Bi the Way: Seems so, with her preference for the blood of "girls and cute guys". See Lesbian Vampire below.
 * She even comments Hiro when he has to dress as a girl.
 * Combat Pragmatist/Lovable Coward: She's braver and a bit more loyal than most vampires, but she is not above fleeing a fight if it's going badly for her.
 * Cute Little Fang: Comes with the territory.
 * Even the Girls Want Her: Of course.
 * Expy: With Princess Resurrection only pre-dating Hell Girl by a few months, it's probably just a coincidence, but doesn't a certain other black'n'red-Joshikousei-wearing, supernatural, pretty girl with a Hime Cut and red eyes rather resemble Reiri?
 * Fetish Fuel Station Attendant: The
 * Foot Focus
 * Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: And she's really friendly too, especially with Hiro.
 * Hime Cut: Ironically.
 * Hypnotic Eyes / Red Eyes, Take Warning: And hell are they creepy.
 * Joshikousei
 * Lesbian Vampire: Hasn't been actually stated, but there's enough evidence...
 * Magic Skirt: Horribly (or wonderfully, YMMV) averted. See Panty Shot below.
 * Minored in Asskicking: Fighting isn't one of Reiri's hobbies. Not that she can't deliver a beatdown anyway.
 * Ms. Fanservice
 * Our Vampires Are Different
 * Panty Shot: Reiri flies around a lot, and we are treated to a plethora of shots from beneath her.
 * Hell, we even get flashes from a normal angle. Must be windy in Sasanaki.
 * The Starscream: Subverted; she's rather loyal, even though she'll tell you she isn't.  This surprises a lot of Royals, as vampires do not make for loyal servants.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo
 * Ship Tease: TONS with Riza.
 * Vampire Detective Series:

Nakua
"Voiced by: Hiromi Konno (OVA)"

An "evil" spider deity initially responsible for the disappearance of students at Hiro and Reiri's school, she is eventually stopped by Reiri and Riza. After failing to get back at the pair (and by extension Hime, for being their patron), she settles into a sort-of cooperative relationship with the residents of Hime's mansion after the latter builds a shrine to her in the mansion's backyard. Is pretty much the de-facto guardian deity of Sasanaki at the moment.


 * A God Am I
 * Defeat Equals Friendship: She tries to This fails. Later on, when her temple is destroyed, Hime allows her to set up on her new temple in Hime's backyard. She has two spider servants, Jiroumaru and Taroumaru.
 * Giant Spider
 * Gods Need Prayer Badly: And she's a bit pissed she hasn't been getting any lately.
 * Heel Face Turn: Tried to kill the heroes twice now, but now she's on their side.
 * Humanoid Abomination: Usually looks like a young girl with long black hair.
 * I'm a Humanitarian: She clashes with Hime, Reiri and Riza on this. Not that it makes her a bad person. She was just taking 'offerings' as she has to eat. Now, she accepts offerings from a little shrine...though she complains about how Sawawa makes them.
 * Little Miss Badass
 * Little Miss Snarker
 * Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Spider limbs sprout out of her head when she decides to fight.
 * Our Gods Are Greater
 * People Puppets
 * Pet the Dog: Occasionally.
 * Spider People: Well, a god but still counts.
 * Villains Out Shopping: Well, "Noble Demon Gods Out Shopping." In her spare time, she supervises the building of a bridge between worlds. Why? 'Cause.

Sherwood
"Voiced by: Ai Shimizu (JP), Hillary Haag (EN)"

Hime's younger sister. She once harbored bad feelings towards Hime, but later reconciled, and has a rather obvious crush on Hiro and will almost do anything to make him her servant. After that she moved in to a mansion on the hill opposite Hime's mansion. -
 * Annoying Younger Sibling: At first...in series. YMMV on whether or not her Heel Face Turn made her less "annoying".
 * Badass Princess
 * Big Brother Worship: Of Hime, after her Heel Face Turn.
 * Cute Little Fang
 * Disney Death: In chapter 77 due to exposing her body to the spore cloud and adapting to it, fresh air become lethal to her and she nearly dies if not
 * Foot Focus: Even moreso than Reiri.
 * Green Thumb: She controls triffids.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Heel Face Turn: In a way. She's no longer out to kill Hime, but she doesn't exactly "help" her either.
 * Lady of Adventure: Usually when we see Sherwood in-story, she, Francesca and Ryu-Ryu are off on a field investigation/expedition.
 * Little Miss Badass
 * The McCoy: Of the Princesses. Understandable since she's the youngest Royal and it's shown that when she was around that age, Hime wasn't too much different.
 * Princess Curls: Her ponytail.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning
 * Tomboy Princess: She really likes her field investigations.

Flandre
"Voiced by: Shiho Kawaragi (anime), Yuka Iguchi (OVA)(JP), Bree Welch (EN)"

Hime's personal android. She is small, unlike the other androids, but is extremely strong for her size. -
 * Accidental Heroine: Flandre's anime-only rampage across Sasanaki city unintentionally ends up helping people.
 * Badass Adorable
 * Drives Like Crazy: Inverted. She's actually a competent driver. Some of the situations in which she has to drive, however...

 * Name's the Same: To a certain superpowered little sister in the Video Game/Touhou franchise.

Sawawa Hiyorimi
"Voiced by: Yuko Minaguchi (anime), Ai Kayano (OVA)(JP), Monica Rial (EN)"

Hiro's older sister and Hime's (human) maid. Hiro moves in with her at the beginning of the series, which triggers his meeting with Hime. --
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * The Empath: In the anime she often senses when Hiro is in danger. And then dismisses it as nothing.
 * Gag Boobs: Surprisingly subverted. As well-endowed as she is, there are rarely any references to it. However, she's still an example of...
 * Gainaxing
 * Meido
 * Unfazed Everyman: Not that she's aware of it.
 * Weirdness Censor: Seriously. Does she ever notice any of the super natural happenings around Hime's house?
 * The one time she does notice anything weird at all is when Hime gets cloned... which Sawawa passes off as her being tired. Oh well, at least she doesn't get underfoot in the action.

Francesca
"Voiced by: Rika Morinaga (JP), Stephanie Wittels (EN)"

Sherwood's personal gynoid and caretaker. She has the appearance of a young, glasses-wearing woman.

Ryu-Ryu
"Voiced by: Akio Kato (JP), Leraldo Anzaldua (EN)"

Sherwood's blood warrior. He's a Panda. Yup.


 * Bash Brothers: With his fellow pandas that Sherwood bought from the zoo. Just go with it.
 * Battle Butler
 * Berserker: Very much so. One time he killed a giant snake by landing on it. Only to break his neck from the landing. Even Riza, who isn't known for her tactical prowess, called him wreckless.
 * Color Failure: As with all Blood warriors. His black fur even turns white, making some people mistake him for a polar bear at times.
 * Hellish Pupils
 * Immortal Life Is Cheap
 * Mighty Glacier
 * Pandaing to The Audience
 * Reality Ensues: Sherwood doesn't even try to hide Ryu, and nobody calls her out on the fact that owning a panda as a pet is illegal. Until chapter 35, where she's arrested for violating the Washington Convention.
 * Trademark Favorite Food: Eucalyptus.

Nozomi "Buchi" Kobuchizawa
"Voiced by: Hiroshi Okamoto (OVA)"

Hiro's friend from school. Obsessed with the occult. Seems to have a crush on Francesca.

 * Large Ham: Especially when he's playing Mr. Exposition in his videos.
 * Unfazed Everyman
 * Unlucky Everydude
 * Weirdness Censor: Notably the only recurring human who DOESN'T have one.

Severin
"Voiced By: Kenyuu Horuichi (anime)"

One of Hime's siblings, a self-important coward who will use any means to remain the last one standing. It is hinted that he was the one who ordered the attack that decimated Hime's forces prior to the story via unleashing a Zombie Apocalypse on her holdings, and he tries to do so again.

"Hime: You've always been a weak-minded coward."
 * Bad Boss: His blood warrior, Mikasa, is a woman he killed himself.
 * Bishonen
 * Blond Guys Are Evil
 * Dirty Coward: Hime has no qualms about calling him as such, pointing out that even little Sherwood was ready to risk her life, while he hid behind his little tricks as to not get in the line of fire.
 * The Evil Prince
 * Hot Guys Are Bastards
 * Jerkass
 * The Kirk: Compared to Gilliam and Emile. Not a nice Kirk, however.
 * Master And Servant Girl: He and Mikasa seem to have this dynamic, mixed with Bad Boss. The way he gives her blood is rather... suspect.
 * Smug Snake: Lampshaded by Hime herself.
 * Smug Snake: Lampshaded by Hime herself.

 * The Stoic
 * Theme Naming

Mikasa
"Voiced By: Sayaka Ohara (anime)"

 * Dark Action Girl
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Dark Action Girl

Fly Man
An anthromorphic fly scientist. He is first introduced trying to "sell" the fruits of his research to Hime (meaning he took her hostage to force her to buy them from him, or die if she refused). He works for Severin at first, but eventually becomes his financial patroness, and as such he makes things on her request, whenever he isn't pursuing his own independent research that is.


 * Big Creepy Crawlies
 * Captain Ersatz / Shout-Out: He essentially a mix of the classic and the Jeff Goldblum-played character of The Fly.
 * For Science!
 * Mad Scientist
 * Mix-and-Match Critters: All of his creatures seem to be some form of insects, among other things.

Emile
"Voiced by: Yuuya Uchida (anime), Akira Ishida (OVA)"

Quiet and brooding, Emile is one of Hime's older brothers. Seemingly plagued with a weak consitution, his powerful Psychic Powers, including telekenesis and limited clairvoyance, more than makes up for this. Like Sherwood he is not openly antagonistic with Hime, but will not aid her either (directly anyway).


 * Birds of a Feather: He and Hime seem to get along well. He's arguably her Spear Counterpart.
 * Bishonen
 * The Chessmaster: To a degree. Being able to see the future helps.
 * Humongous Mecha: Flanders.
 * Ill Boy
 * Man of Wealth and Taste
 * Pet the Dog: Aloof, stoic, not above putting his life on the line to save his subordinates or innocent bystanders. Also a Kuudere.

 * Red Eyes, Take Warning:
 * The Spock: Of the three Princes.
 * Squishy Wizard
 * The Stoic
 * White Sheep
 * The Wise Prince
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning:

Keziah Bold
"Voiced by: Hiroki Touchi (anime), Yuuichi Nakamura (OVA)"

A werewolf warrior first encountered stranded in the Ghost Ship, Keziah is one of Prince Emile's loyal servants. He was a companion of Riza's father in the old days, and as such, despite being technically Riza's enemy, tends to look out for her whenever they cross paths.
 * Badass
 * Big Badass Wolf
 * Blood Knight
 * Chekhov's Gunman: We meet Keziah as another stranded traveler on the Ghost Ship.

Sledge
"Voiced By: Satoshi Hino (OVA)"

A winged warrior of an unspecified humanoid race, Sledge is another of Prince Emile's bodyguards, serving opposite to Keziah. Despite being in the same faction, they tend to bicker with each other when left alone.


 * Badass
 * Blood Knight: No surprise from Keziah, though Sledge is also like this.
 * Goggles Do Nothing
 * Satellite Character/That One Guy: Sledge has very little characterization outside of his loyalty to Emile, being able to fly and arguing with Keziah.
 * Winged Humanoid: Sledge.
 * Satellite Character/That One Guy: Sledge has very little characterization outside of his loyalty to Emile, being able to fly and arguing with Keziah.
 * Winged Humanoid: Sledge.

Flanders
Flanders is the robot bodyguard assigned to serve Emile. Unlike his "siblings" Flandre and Francesca, Flanders is a Humongous Mecha on the scale of kaiju-sized monsters. He is later upgraded to Flanders G.


 * Foreshadowing: The fact that Flander's head-mounted photon cannons are used by Gilliam is a big clue that
 * Humongous Mecha
 * Pokémon-Speak/Verbal Tic: "Fuga"/"Hooba."
 * Theme Naming
 * Wave Motion Gun: His eyes also double as twin Photo Cannons.
 * We Can Rebuild Him: Flanders is actually destroyed twice, but rebuilt without issue (relatively anyway) afterward.

Ningyo/
"Voiced by: Ai Kayano (OVA)"

A mermaid that was trapped on a ghost ship, and was used by the malevolent entity there to lure in other ships to their doom. In return for gaining the ability to walk on land, she had willingly given up her voice, but in the process she was cursed that she would die if she ever spoke. She is eventually rescued from the ghost ship by Hime's friends and Keziah, but not before she speaks up to warn the latter. This causes her death, but she is quickly revived via Emile's blood, becoming one of his Blood Warriors.


 * Adaptation Dye Job: Despite her hair being a dark color in the manga, it becomes pink in the first anime. The OVA rectifies this somewhat, turning her hair back into a very dark blue.
 * Color Failure: Much like Hiro, she suffers this at times.
 * Hellish Pupils: Again, much like Hiro.
 * Last of Their Kind: Mermaids are mentioned by Riza as being "almost extinct".
 * Only Known By Their Nickname: She is referred to through the manga and the OVA simply as "ningyo", which literaly means mermaid. It is only later in the manga that we learn that her real name is.
 * Our Mermaids Are Different: Similar the Little Mermaid variety: as mentioned, she gave up her voice as a payment to a sorcerer to be able to walk. The moment she speaks a word however, she dies.
 * Token Mini-Moe: Of Emile's entourage.

Silvia
"Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue (OVA)"

The eldest princess, Silvia is beautiful, elegant, and charismatic. She is also incredibly cunning and willing to do anything to come out on top of the current succession war, without directly showing her hand of course. With this in mind, she is likely the most dangerous of Hime's siblings. -
 * Big Bad
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing
 * Blondes Are Evil
 * Chekhov's Gunman: The first time we see her, she is being held hostage by Duke Kiniski.

 * Manipulative Bitch: Even Sherwood calls her out on this.
 * Onee-Sama: Always referred to as "Silvia-onee-sama."
 * Pet the Dog: Hime's earlier memories of her.

 * Warrior Prince: He's pretty skilled with that Cool Sword.
 * Warrior Prince: He's pretty skilled with that Cool Sword.

Prince Fuhito

 * Bigger Bad
 * Captain Ersatz / Shout-Out: As a baby, a very obvious one to Ivan Whisky/Cyborg 001 from Cyborg 009, down to the pacifier.
 * Cute Shotaro Boy: His current appearance, post-revival.
 * Ill Baby: Much like Ivan, using his psychic powers prior to his revival caused him to fall asleep afterward.

 * Immortality
 * Psychic Powers:An extremely powerful esper even as a baby.
 * Smug Snake / Smug Super: He really thinks himself unbeatable.
