[[File:Aria major characters.jpg|frame|The main characters. From left to right: Alice, Aika, Akari, Alicia, Akira, and Athena.]]
== Aria Company ==
=== Akari Mizunashi ===
Line 15:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Her "sideburns" get so long by the epilogue that she's able to loop them back around into a ponytail! How she doesn't catch her oar in those loops is anyone's guess.
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Her relationship with Alicia certainly has elements of this, which culminates in the ''Arietta'' [[OVA]]. Their relationship by the end of the series is [[:File:Alicia-akari-hug.png|summed up in the series' Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] (in a series filled with Moments of Heartwarming).
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]: Of the "cheery and optimistic" type.
* [[She's All Grown Up]]: In the anime she's the only one out of her and her two friends that's shown after reaching adulthood
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Akatsuki, but also [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|with Alicia]], so much that Alicia's unexpected {{spoiler|[[Last-Minute Hookup|marriage]]}} outraged quite a few [[Yuri Fan|yuri fans]].
* [[Tearful Smile]]: When Alicia "disappeared" after she told Akari she {{spoiler|planned to retire.}}
* [[Weirdness Magnet]]: Cait Sith isn't the only supernatural being that she's encountered.
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Yes, even by ''Aria'' standards.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: She's on her way.
Line 40:
:''Voiced by [[Yoshiko Matsuo]] (Japanese), Lee Juyeon (Korean)''
Better known as Grandma. Legendary Undine and the founder of ARIA Company. Originally she's from Himeya Company, but
* [[Alliterative Name]]
Line 46:
* [[Miniature Senior Citizens]]: Shrunk considerably between her working as an undine and now.
=== Ai Aino ===
:''Voiced by [[Kaori Mizuhashi]] (Japanese), Hyeon-Seo An (Korean), Serena Clerici (Italian)''
Line 52:
* [[Black Eyes of Evil]]: When Ai threatens to scream that she's being kidnapped if Akari doesn't give her a ride, her brown eyes go all-black, reverting to normal as soon as Akari agrees. It happens again when she press-gangs Aika into the tour.
* [[Cheerful Child]]
* [[Last-Episode New Character]] and [[Canon Immigrant]]: In the manga.
* [[She's All Grown Up]]: While she doesn't appear to physically grow during the 6 earth years that the series covers, that changes in the epilogue.
Line 66 ⟶ 65:
:''Voiced by [[Chinami Nishimura]] (Japanese), Lee Eunjeong (Korean), Federica Valenti (Italian)''
ARIA Company's president. Can be considered as a [[B-Side Comics|B
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]:
== Himeya Company ==
Line 75 ⟶ 74:
Daughter of the owner of Himeya and its heir. Akari's first friend on Aqua. Has a crush on Alicia and later Al.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Hazukashii serifu kinshi!"
* [[Expressive Hair]]: When Akari first noticed Aika was fixated on watching Alicia, and asked if Aika was a stalker, Aika's braids went rigid and straight.
* [[Grumpy Bear]]
* [[Important Haircut]]: Roughly midway through the anime, and is a major factor in her growing from being an Alicia fangirl to being her own person.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Though a very light version.
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: In the beginning of the series, she exhibits this toward Alicia. One of the first things Akari said to her in Chapter 2 of ''Aqua'' was, "Aika-chan, are you a stalker?"
Line 89 ⟶ 88:
One of the three Water Fairies, Aika's tutor. She's known by the title of "Crimson Rose" for her conversation skill with customers. Tomboyish enough that she can be considered as [[The Ladette]] (especially with Akatsuki mistaking her as a boy when they're children).
* [[Adult Child]]: Her rivalry with Alicia can be very petty.
* [[Expy]]: Probably from Senkoh Katori from Amano's earlier work ''Roman Club'', considering that Akira's look when she was a kid is ''exactly'' like Senkoh. [[Wild Mass Guessing|She might be Senkoh's descendant]]. That, or she's expy of his sister, Matou, who also appears in [[Amanchu!]].
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: Averted ''hard''. The only reason she's able to be one of the Water Fairies is because she works really hard. As she said, she has no notable talents like her friends Alicia or Athena have, so hard work is all she can do to make up for it - to the point where hard work becomes her notable talent.
* [[The Ladette]]: Except the drinking part -- she can barely hold liquor, especially compared to Alicia, who can hold massive amounts.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: The Poster Girl
Line 112 ⟶ 111:
:''Voiced by [[Ryo Hirohashi]] (Japanese), Min-Jeong Yeo (Korean), Loretta Di Pisa (Italian)''
A trainee for Orange Planet. Is considered to be a prodigy because of her gondola skills despite the fact she is still in middle school when she is recruited. A
* [[Alice Allusion]]: Not just her name. Consider her hair style, her relative youth, her unflappability, and her habit of commenting on her companions' actions.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Uses "dekkai" (huge) in every other sentence, if not more.
* [[Child Prodigy]]: Nearly flawless rowing skills even when still a ''pair''. {{spoiler|She also becomes an Undine before her seniors Akari and Aika.}}
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Starts out as this,
* [[Innocent Prodigy]]: Although hidden under her antisocial personality and her status as a prodigy, she's still shown to have an adorably childlike naivety at times.
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]
Line 166 ⟶ 165:
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Akari. He does seem to have a fascination with her hair, specifically the "sideburns" -- on several occasions, his grasping them is how Akari learns he's there.
** In one of the manga's short "special" chapters, he meets Akari as she's checking horoscopes. At the end of the chapter, he comments that he's impressed because she isn't despairing over her rather downer horoscope -- and '''then''' he remembers that '''his''' said: "You might, by chance, meet the person of your heart in town. You'll discover and be impressed with an unexpected side of her, and fall deeper in love." [[Star Wars|Search your feelings, Akatsuki-san; you know it to be true]]....
*** He more or less acknowledges this even while denying it, telling Akari, [[
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Mild version, mind you.
Line 184 ⟶ 183:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Albert '''Pitt''' works at the bottom of a deep hole in the ground.
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]: The only logical explanation for him growing at least a foot taller at the end of the final episode but before the timeskip epilogue.
* [[
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Looks like a cute little boy, even though he's 19 (a year older than Akatsuki and Woody).
=== Anno Namihei ===
Line 200 ⟶ 199:
* [[Mega Neko]]
