[[File:Lucky Star main cast.jpg|frame|Introducing ''all'' (but three of) the girls from Lucky Star! From left: [[Satellite Character|Ayano]], [[Occidental Otaku|Patricia]], [[Cloudcuckoolander|Tsukasa]], [[Ill Girl|Yutaka]], [[Otaku Surrogate|Konata]], [[Tsundere|Kagami]], [[The Quiet One|Minami]], [[Meganekko|Miyuki]], [[Yuri Fan|Hiyori]], and [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Misao]]]]

Get to know the characters from the high school [[Slice of Life]] anime and manga series ''[[Lucky Star]]''.

* [[Otaku Surrogate]]: In a series full of otakus, she stands out the most by virtue of having "male otaku" traits.

** One strip [[lampshade]]d that, saying she is only biologically female.

* [[Proud to Be a Geek]]

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Ankle-length, even.

* [[Ridiculous Procrastinator]]: We often get to see how much she procrastinates, yet her last-minute study can be amusingly effective at times.

* [[Terrible Artist]]

* [[Tights Under Shorts]]: She sometimes wears this with her casualwear, most notably in the manga.

* [[Troll]]: At least to [[Girlish Pigtails|Kagami]].

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Konata often talks about tripping event flags like she's in a [[Dating Sim]], even though she's actually in a [[Slice of Life]] comedy.

* [[The Lancer]]

* [[Lethal Chef]]: Konata likes to [[Flanderize]] her as one, but she's just not as good as Tsukasa.

* [[Miko]]: When her father is the local shrine's priest...

* [[Moe]]: In-universe—her [[Tsundere|attitude]] is deemed adorable by Konata.

Kagami's cheerful and very loopy younger twin sister. She's actually very good at home chores and cooking, although she sometimes has to ask for Kagami's help because she forgets things easily.

----

* [[Beautiful Dreamer]]: [http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn172/Yumi-Kimi-hime/Lucky%20Star%20icons/thls111icon.gif Awwwww.] Granted, it's ''Kagami'' who discovers her sleeping, and there's no romantic intentions.

* [[Blank White Eyes]]: Her standard reaction to Konata's quips.

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of Akari Kamigishi of ''[[To Heart]]'', at least when it comes to character designs.

* [[The Chick]]

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Expressive Hair|Expressive]] [[Expressive Shirt|Hairpiece]]: Her bow occasionally droops when she's sad, springs up when she's happy, and spikes up when she freaks out.

* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]: One of the very few things she's good at is cooking.

* [[Foil]]: She often serves as this to Konata and Kagami.

* [[Idiots Cannot Catch Colds]]: Kagami says she always seems to be fine when everyone else is laid up, which Konata calls "inconspicuous"...

* [[The Ingenue]]: A lesser degree of this trope when compared to Yutaka below.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]

* [[Dojikko]]

* [[Gag Boobs]]: [[Lampshade]]d as Konata and Minami thought Miyuki, though unable to swim, can at least float ''because'' of her breasts.

* {{spoiler|[[Hot Teacher]]}}: As of manga volume 8, {{spoiler|she's doing work as a home-tutor.}}

* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: She isn't really very tall (see group shot above) -- she's only slightly taller than the Hiiragis and is slightly shorter than Patty. She just spends a lot of time with the diminutive Konata.

** Yui assumes Miyuki to be unusually tall because her family's genetic shortness gave her a rather skewed perception of what average height is.

* [[Moe]]: Invoked in-universe by Konata on account of her talents, adorable flaws, and her shapely figure, to the point of even ''deifying'' her.

{{quote|'''Konata:''' "She's a walking shrine of Moe!"}}

* [[Nice Girl]]

* [[Ojou]]

* [[Out of Focus]]: Towards the latter half of the anime. [[Lampshaded]] by the mangaka in the [[Omake]]—which is sort of unfortunate as Yoshimizu apparently has a [[Meganekko]] fetish.

** [[Aya Endo]] also didn't perform at the concert, though she sent a video message during the show.

* [[Proper Tights with a Skirt]]

* [[Purple Eyes]]

* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Sometimes she is mistaken to be an office lady.

** Lately this has became her [[Berserk Button]]; her maturity compared to [[Adult Child|Yukari]] sometimes make her appear ''older'' than her mother.

 

== Supporting Characters (Teens) ==

{{break}}

=== Minami Iwasaki ===

[[File:minami.gif|thumb|200px]]

 

Entering the story by [[Returning the Handkerchief|returning Yutaka's handkerchief]] in the beginning of what can be seen as a [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]], Minami is a quiet, expressionless girl often misunderstood by others to be creepy. Good at most subjects, and is childhood friends with neighbour Miyuki since both of them love reading.

{{break}}

=== Hiyori Tamura ===

[[File:hiyoriluckystar.gif|thumb|200px]]

 

Yutaka and Minami's classmate, member of the Animation Research Club, and [[Doujinshi]] [[Yonkoma]] mangaka with a habit of shipping game characters already, as well as [[Shipper on Deck|Minami and Yutaka]].

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Patty is an [[Omake]]-only character in the early manga, only to be ascended to the main chapters later.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Queen of the Weaboos" -- [[Occidental Otaku|makes]] [[Proud to Be a Geek|sense]]...

* [[Foreign Exchange Student]]: She's an American exchange student and otaku who came to Japan to learn Japanese culture. Unfortunately most of what she know [[Animeland|is based on manga and anime]], which doesn't always match the reality.

 

=== Misao Kusakabe ===

[[File:misao.jpg|thumb|200px]]

 

Kagami and Ayano's classmate for five consecutive years, Misao is the latter's childhood friend and, as defined by the former, an unorganized "lazy ass". A recurring theme in post-anime strips is her rivalry with Konata—for Kagami, even Misao considered Kagami as being cold-hearted. Later, she {{spoiler|got into the same program of the same college as Konata}}.

{{break}}

=== Ayano Minegishi ===

[[File:ayanols.jpg|thumb|200px]]

 

Misao's "[[The Caretaker|caretaker]]" (in Kagami's words) for years to the level that when Kagami was fed up with Misao or vice versa, Ayano is their go-between. She is the only teen in the series with a boyfriend.

 

=== Kō Yasaka ===

[[File:166px-Kouyasaka.jpg|thumb|200px]]

 

First appearing in Volume 4, Kō is the [[Club President|president]] of the Animation Research Club and Hiyori's "boss" on the club's periodicals. She's the only 11th grader in the series. Does not appear in the anime, but she did appear in the ''Net Idol Meister'' video game.

{{break}}
