* ''Dejiko'', aka [[Di Gi Charat]], aka Chocola: The titular protagonist, princess of planet [[Di Gi Charat]] and aspiring idol. However, she is less than princess-like. Can shoot [[Eye Beams]]. She will use them any time, on ''any'' being who annoys her. She has a [[Verbal Tic]] and ends everything she says with "-nyo".

* ''Puchiko'', aka Petit Charat, aka Capucchino: Supposed [[Sidekick]] of Dejiko and inhabitant of her planet. Her [[Eye Beams]] ability is weaker than Dejiko's, but she compensates with extra cuteness and a sharp tongue. Often [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]] to Dejiko. Another [[Verbal Tic]] here; she ends her sentences with "-nyu". She is a subversion of the quiet and shy moe girl, in that she is ''so'' quiet that she is often completely withdrawn from everything around her, and when she does speak, she tends to be quite rude.

* ''Gema'': A big floating yellow ball with a simple, tiny, upside-down face. Long-suffering [[Non Human Sidekick]] and failed [[Mentors|mentor]], usually the victim of Dejiko's eye beam. Ends all its sentences with "-gema".

* ''"Rabi~en~Rose"'': Real name, Hikaru Usada. Sometimes [[The Rival]] to Dejiko, sometimes a [[Worthy Opponent]]. A [[Muggles|young human]] teenager, also an aspiring idol, with a bunny-like [[Cosplay Otaku Girl|cosplay]] and a sob-story backstory that changes depending on the franchise's incarnation. One of the few characters who ''doesn't'' have a [[Verbal Tic]]. She is a parody of the typical "rival" character in anime, in that she's more sympathetic than Dejiko and often shows superior skill, yet she still loses most of the time because she's not the main character.

* There is also a [[Dating Sim]]-like game, which, while totally devoid of adult content, is creepy for its premise, since Dejiko is just really underage.
