Galaxy Angel Rune/Characters

Voiced by: Yuuna Inamura (JP)
Rico fulfills much the same role that Milfeulle did in the original anime. She is the newest member of the Rune Angel Wing and the one least experienced in the ways of the world. However, she is more practical than her older sister and, in addition to cooking, she is also very handy with household chores and appears to be more grounded in reality than her older sister. Apricot idolises Milfeulle and frequently writes to her, which takes the form of the show's narration.


 * Allergic to Love: Her sudden bursts of super strength whenever a man touches her, mainly The Artifact from the games considering there are few men around. It gets invoked deliberately by Lily in episode 6 in order to resolve a situation.
 * Does Not Like Men
 * Super Strength

A knightly girl of regal bearing, Lily is the most serious-minded of the Rune Angels and handles all of their mission requests. Although the team is mostly informal, Lily is shown to be the de facto leader due to her reliability and cool, knightly demeanour. On the other hand she can be a real stick in the mud when she wants to be and tends to be a bit judgemental of others, especially Anise. As the responsible, military and humourless type, Lily does not appear as frequently as the other characters within the anime's slice-of-life context.


 * Catch Phrase: "That goes against the way of the sword!" and "NG-da" (Literally, "that's no good" in a more manly sort of way.)
 * Only Sane Man: Err...woman. Girl. Whatever.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: Until the murder mystery in Episode 11 where we see that her powers of deduction are decidedly sub-par, breaking the mystique.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: Lampshaded in one episode where Lily notes that she and Anise had been on the same team for 10 years and were still as antagonistic towards each other as they were on the first day. They are certainly not friends.

The Rune Angels' resident catgirl. That is literally all there is to say about her. Okay, Nano-Nano is actually a sentient colony of nanomachines that was discovered by Vanilla on some remote world somewhere, which she then adopted and raised on her own. Nano-Nano's clearest memory of Vanilla is how she told her to become a big nanomachine colony, which she does by absorbing all sorts of machinery. She looks up to Anise in a sisterly sort of way and has a good relationship with Natsume who is around the same age as her. She also plays around with Mimolette a lot by virtue of the fact that they are both cats or catlike.


 * Catgirl
 * Genki Girl
 * Japanese Honorifics: Nano-Nano addresses Anise as "oyabun", meaning boss or chief.
 * Nanomachines: Although she only uses them once in the entire series.
 * Verbal Tic: -nano da!

Kahlua Marjoram leads two lives. The first is the unpredictable and ditzy sorceress whose experiments consistently blow up in her face or have horrifying results. The other is her hypercompetent alter ego Tequila who generally doesn't do anything and has a reputation for promiscuity and speaking in lots and lots of innuendo. They transform back and forth whenever Kahlua ingests alcohol, when she eats one of her special magic chocolates, or when the plot dictates that it would be funny for her to do so. In spite of her constant clumsiness, Kahlua has a sunny personality and is more than willing to help out her friends especially if it involves her main areas of expertise: cosmetics and TV dramas. In the crazy mixed up world of the Rune Angels, these things prove to be useful on more occasions than one might expect.


 * Breast Expansion: Each time she swaps from Kahlua to Tequila, her bust line (and by extention, her whole body) fills out and practically exceeds her top, leaving her green dress underneath.
 * Cute Witch
 * Double Entendre: Over half of Tequila's lines throughout the series.
 * Hot Witch
 * Ms. Fanservice: Tequila mostly.
 * Split Personality
 * Stuff Blowing Up
 * Super-Powered Evil Side
 * Visual Innuendo
 * Witch Species
 * Zettai Ryouiki: Grade A.

The easiest way to describe Anise would be some kind of cross between a space pirate, an odd-jobswoman and a biker gal. In many ways she's the polar opposite of Lily; lazy, loudmouthed, extremely spendthrift and basically amoral. In fact, she would not have been part of the Rune Angel Wing at all if she hadn't tried to hijack the Luxiole. She owes Mint a debt of astronomical proportions, one that she will never be able to pay, and it dominates her every waking moment. As such, she even more prone to get-rich-quick schemes than the Moon Angels on a good day.


 * Dark-Skinned Redhead
 * Space Pirate
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: See Lily's entry above.

Kahlua's loyal floating cat-head-thing, who seems to have inherited Normad's tendency to have horrible things happen to him every few minutes.


 * Chew Toy

Voiced by: Katsuyuki Konishi (JP)
The concierge of Villa Angel, the boarding house where the Rune Angel Wing lodges when not on duty. Which seems to be most of the time. Kuchen has a tendency to be theatrical and presents himself as a long-suffering nanny who has to follow after the girls and pick up the pieces of their latest catastrophe. He serves as a strong contrast to Volcott who tended to suffer in silence, but it appears he cares for the girls almost as much as his more military counterpart. Kuchen can actually be seen in several places throughout the series working odd jobs as either a man or a woman, presumably to help pay the upkeep of Villa Angel.


 * Ambiguously Gay
 * Camp Gay: A Running Gag in episode four has Natsume attempting to ask if he's a transvestite, but always being cut off by one of her servants.
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Paper-Thin Disguise: At one point Anise calls him out on it but has to toe the line as soon as she needs his help.
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: But sometimes borders on Villainous.

The girls' commanding officer. Only ever appears over a TV screen, which is sometimes zoomed in on random and not-so-random parts of her body.


 * Male Gaze: A rare in-universe example. No explanation is ever given for it, and the only characters to notice it are the men on the Luxiole's bridge (not that they're complaining).
 * Ms. Fanservice

The mayor of Seldor. Appears as a CGI projection in a moving chair.


 * Conspicuous CG: Lily performs a bit of Lampshade Hanging on it in the first episode.

Natsume is a representative of the Arms Alliance to EDEN. Just what the Arms Alliance is never comes up because her mission as a goodwill ambassador turns out to be nothing more than an excuse for her world tour to try out the finest cookies in the universe. After tasting some of Kuchen's cookies, she decides to stay and sets up her own personal castle and requisite island on the outskirts of the Rune Angels' home city. There she mostly keeps to herself and doesn't get involved with the girls' onscreen hijinx but she shares a cordial relationship with Nano-Nano, who sometimes comes to her garden to play. Oh, and she also has an impressively shiny forehead.


 * Early-Bird Cameo: While she was originally revealed as a game character, her first actual appearance was in the anime.
 * Everything's Better with Princesses
 * Forehead of Doom
 * The Ojou
 * Verbal Tic: -nano ja, a reasonably common one for royalty.

Natsume's servants.


 * Chew Toy: The Suzukis especially.

...does not appear in the anime aside from two scenes. That's all there is to say about him.


 * Demoted to Extra: In tribute to the original trope name, isn't it sad, Kazuya? ;_;
 * Sir Not Appearing In This Show
