Consistent Character Characteristics
""That's right. Our main weakness is that we're stupid.""

- Yuri

-
 * Anti Hero: Type I
 * The Ditz/Idiot Hero: All of them really. They're all idiots. Yuri even calls herself one even though she's the smartest of them all.
 * Brainless Beauty: The most.
 * Character Development
 * Mr. Fanservice: Most SSS male members.
 * Fire Forged Friends: As a result of rebelling against a god.
 * Hair Colors: Lots of them. Range from several colors.

 * Rage Against the Heavens: For giving them all such a short and unfair life.

Otonashi
""When it all ends, what will happen to us?""

"Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya (JP), Blake Shepard (EN)"

The Protagonist. He wakes up in the afterlife, not knowing where he is, or who he is really. He lost all of his memories.

He only remembers his last name.

-
 * Bishonen
 * The Caretaker:
 * His final living actions in episode 9 can be seen as this in the way that they inspired everyone around him, although they're more unambiguously a Tear Jerker moment (see below).
 * Dead Little Sister:
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Decoy Protagonist: Hinata is the protagonist of the Manga, which pretty much depicts.
 * The Everyman: Subverted. Otonashi may initially be presented as an average guy onto whom we're meant to project, but he ultimately proves to be far more virtuous than your average person.
 * Fan Nickname: Brotonashi. Because, just look at the list of what he does when alive and dead!
 * Otonashi is such a bro, he's basically the Brototype.
 * : Debatable.
 * Hypocrite:
 * Important Haircut:
 * Incurable Cough of Death:
 * The Medic: Subverted. Otonashi never shows his skills in purgatory. Not that he needs to.
 * The Messiah: If episode 9 doesn't make you think of Otonashi as this, you're probably watching the wrong show.
 * Hell, he should be marked for this by episode 6. Ayato is taking over the school, has beat the hell out of the entire SSS, and is threatening to force them to disappear via hypnosis and brainwashing. The most obvious solution, in Otonashi's opinion? Tackle the guy, yell at him, and hug him. It works, too.
 * The Mole:.
 * Only Sane Man: He has touches of this amongst all the various quirks of the SSS, and defintely qualifies in the OVA.
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Red Oni Blue Oni: Red to Hinata's Blue.
 * : Otonashi lived a fulfilling life and died content. The setting is specifically designed to help people experience the youth and happiness they never had in life. When he regains his memories, he helps everyone move on to the next plane.
 * Secret Stab Wound:
 * Shirtless Scene: In the first episode.
 * Super Window Jump: Courtesy of the SSS.
 * Tear Jerker: Otonashi's final actions were not panicking or feeling sorry for himself,.
 * They Killed Kenny: Three times within the first six minutes--of the first episode, yet!
 * Averted after episode 1,
 * Trauma Conga Line:
 * Shirtless Scene: In the first episode.
 * Super Window Jump: Courtesy of the SSS.
 * Tear Jerker: Otonashi's final actions were not panicking or feeling sorry for himself,.

Yuri Nakamura
""Operation, Start!""

"Voiced by: Harumi Sakurai (JP), Brittney Karbowski (EN)"

Leader of the SSS. She hates God and is willing to lead a rebellion against him. She fought and nicknamed her Angel because people were disappearing because of her, and she presumes that she is an angel from God.

-
 * Action Girl
 * Affably Evil: When she's at her worst... See here. Check this one too.. Ultimately limited by the fact that she never does permanent harm to anyone - she's just a very mean boss.
 * Taken Up to Eleven in the Special episode where she makes everybody starve to death for her mistake. Some Yuri fans see this as their all-time Berserk Button.
 * Both those instances put her dangerously close to the Moral Event Horizon; however, she never crosses it, which shouldn't be surprising since
 * Depends on your perspective - the NPCs that she threatens to kill are just that, mindless programs (very evident from their behaviour) - and whilst starving everyone to 'death' is incredibly cruel punishment, they cannot *actually* die. The morality scale in Angel Beats! is a rather hard one to judge.
 * Anti Hero: Type III. Until episode 11, this often blended with Villain Protagonist.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: She is capable of fighting one on one with Angel.
 * Badass Adorable: See above
 * Broken Bird: Due to the tragedies she suffered in real life, this caused her to start the SSS.
 * Byronic Hero: Though mitigated by the light-hearted nature of the story.
 * Cool Big Sis: To the SSS.
 * Dangerously Short Skirt: Dangerous indeed. Short... even more indeed.
 * Despair Event Horizon:
 * To elaborate:
 * Easily Forgiven: Especially in the Manga.
 * Hair Decorations
 * Evil Laugh: In episode 4, when she thinks Otonashi's team is about to win against Tenshi's team.
 * Another in Episode 12, but for something real serious--when she's considering becoming the new God.
 * Lampshaded by Yusa in the first OVA.
 * Even better, in the OVA she is obviously imitating Lelouch.
 * Expy: Yuri is often referred to as Haruhi with a different hair color and outfit. Although her headband is supposedly inspired by Yukiko Amagi
 * Fiery... Purplehead?
 * Hey Its That Voice : To those who played Little Busters! You probably guess this, sort of.
 * If you need a hint, listen to her Evil Laugh in the Baseball Episode. It should sound very familiar...
 * Knife Nut
 * Moe: she has her moments.
 * Nay Theist: Naturally due to her intense hatred of God.
 * Only Known By Their Nickname: She is called "Yurippe" by some of her comrades.
 * Rebel Leader
 * Red Oni Blue Oni: Red to Angel's Blue.
 * Shut UP Hannibal: "Humans don't have the patience to wait even ten minutes for something!" Cue destruction of computers and the halt to the shadow attack, as well as.
 * Team Mom: In episode 11, when she
 * The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Yuri's rivalry with Angel can be interpreted as this.
 * The Rival: Of Angel.
 * Tsundere: Very heavy on the Tsun.
 * Villain Protagonist: At least at first. Especially evident in the OVA. In the main series, though, this tends to blend with either Type V or Type III Anti Hero, and she goes to pure Anti Hero around episode 11, when she decides to
 * If anything, this is just played for laughs. How much of a villain protagonist can she really be when she and her SSS honestly assume that Tenshi is evil and disappearing from the afterlife is bad? So far in all the material available set prior to the anime, they are not given reason to assume otherwise. The right and wrong in this story is very much down to personal judgement (ie. in the bhuddist faith of the author, reincarnation is obviously a good thing, but to other audiences, the fear of being re-born as a plankton seems like a perfectly reasonable one).
 * You Gotta Have Purple Hair
 * Zettai Ryouiki

 * The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Angel's rivalry with Yuri can be interpreted as this.
 * The Rival: Of Yuri.

Hisako
"Voiced by: Chie Matsuura (JP), Elizabeth Bunch (EN)"

 * Informed Ability: According to Hinata, she's very athletic. Zig zagged, as while we never got to see her play in the baseball episode (she was on Takamatsu's team, apparently), in episode 6, she leapt out of the window very quickly when Naoi showed up.
 * Les Yay: With Iwasawa in the manga.
 * Mahjong: She's really good at it -- unless you believe Sekine's account in the Gi De Mo short story, in which case she's an incredibly audacious cheater. (In Sekine's account, Hisako palms three tiles and then claims victory with only three melds instead of four.)
