Characters from ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' include:
== The Shrine Residents ==
=== Rokuro (碌労) ===

▲{{quote| ''"Look. I'm an idiot. I'm fully aware of that. And I know I tend to be dense, even when something's obvious. I'm just a bit slow – Not insensitive."''}}
Rokuro is an amateur wizard who crash-landed head-first into Akemi's yard one day in April. [[Weirdness Magnet|He seems to attract trouble wherever he goes]], and seldom comes up with a way to get out of it by himself. He also seems to have a crush on Akemi despite the fact that she's taken.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Not as much as the usual character type would imply, but still more often than he’d like.
* [[Apologizes a Lot]]: Played for laughs, most of the time.
* [[Attention Deficit Disciple]]
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Cali drew [http://www.deviantart.com/download/157615476/Ryoko_chan_by_Half_Demon_Cali.png this]{{Dead link}} gender-bent picture of Rokuro a while back. The result is a girl who might actually be better looking than the normal female lead.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: When he’s not wearing his light blue shirt.
* [[Big Eater]]
Line 20 ⟶ 18:
* [[Character Tics]]: He fixes his headband when he’s embarrassed, when he needs to think, when he’s confused, ect.
* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]]
* {{spoiler|[[Elemental Powers]]: Rokuro's Rudaia transformation is '''obviously''' [[Playing
* [[Gray Eyes]]
* [[Hand Behind Head]]

=== Akemi Segawa (瀬雅琶明美) ===
[[File:headshot2_3569.png|frame]]
▲{{quote| ''"Oh, come on; don't be like that. I'm trying to compliment you."''}}
16-year-old [[Miko|shrine maiden]] who likes to think of herself as one of the sanest people she knows. While most of the time she's considered a tomboy, when she's with [[Love Interest|Daisuke]], she goes into a surprisingly girly, [[Tsundere|dere-dere]] mode. She has little tolerance for stupidity, and likes things to go her way.
And yes, [[Anime Hair|the orange hair is natural]].
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Anime Hair]]: The only human to invoke this trope - Every other non-magic character is shown to have a normal, black/brown coloring. Even Rokuro thinks that her hair color is weird.
* [[Blue Eyes]]
Line 56 ⟶ 52:
* [[Secret Keeper]]: Of Rokuro and Maruchi’s otherworldly status.
* [[Skirt Over Slacks]]: Her signature style.
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: One of her weaknesses. Rie usually cajoles Akemi into going with her to the [[Cosplay Cafe]] because of the desserts there.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Parfait.
Line 63 ⟶ 59:
=== Maruchi (丸智) / {{spoiler|Maruchirō Kyoyoseikan (炯妖凄感丸智婁)}} ===
[[File:Maruchi2_5438.png|frame]]
{{quote|
Maruchi is Rokuro's ''majikyou'' (Magic instructor) who made his first appearance in chapter seven [[Shape Shifter|as a purple kitten]]. He is barely half of Rokuro's height, and tends to be classified as either a [[Jerkass|huge jerk]] or [[Bratty Half-Pint|a brat]]. However, despite his outward appearance, [[Older Than They Look|he is actually close to]] [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|three hundred years old]] [[Wise Beyond Their Years|and has an IQ more than two times higher than Isaac Newton's.]] He's also known to be racist against humans, and sometimes even sexist, but not to any particularly serious

* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: [[Just a Kid|Calling him a kid]] or generally disrespecting him. The former more than the latter.
Line 75 ⟶ 69:
* {{spoiler|[[Bishonen]]}}
* [[Brutal Honesty]]: Not one of his better qualities...
* [[Catgirl]]: [[Gender
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Fingerless Gloves]]: Wears these, though it's less because of [[Rule of Cool]] and more because {{spoiler|they hide the marks on his hands left behind by his curse.}}
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Though may be not as bad as his student.
* [[Humans Are
* [[Jerkass]]: He zigzags between this and [[Jerk
* [[Kemonomimi]]: Cat ears and a tail.
* [[Know-Nothing Know-It-All]]: Has an IQ in the 400’s, but knows absolutely nothing about humans or the first dimension.
* [[Kubrick Stare]]: Probably the extent of his usual facial expressions. {{spoiler|Especially while he’s an adult.}}
* [[Older Than They Look]]: 291 years old and he looks like he's seven or eight. {{spoiler|In his child form, anyway.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Only Known
* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: Utilizes this.
** Rokuro is convinced that it isn't actually made out of paper.
* [[Shape Shifter]]: Alternates between his default form, [http://www.deviantart.com/download/170214133/Maruchi__s_Kitten_Form_by_Half_Demon_Cali.png a kitten]{{Dead link}}, and his human disguise.
* {{spoiler|[[Secretly Wealthy]]: He's the second son of a high-ranking duke and duchess; and he's kept this secret for so long that not even ''Rokuro'' knew.}}
* [[Shapeshifter Default Form]]: His child form. {{spoiler|Though recently, we've learned that this was just another transformation. His real default form is that of a full-grown adult.}}
Line 98 ⟶ 92:
=== Shigeru Segawa (瀬雅琶茂) ===
[[File:headshot3_81.png|frame]]
{{quote|
▲{{quote| ''"'''Look''', you pervert. It would do you some good to listen. This '''isn't''' your house. You can't just do whatever you want - And my daughter is at the top of that list!"''}}
Shigeru is Akemi's [[Overprotective Dad]] and Meiko's more sensible younger brother by four years. He is noted to have no real, steady job, but is both an English tutor and the substitute coach for his old high school's kendo team. Sometimes he helps his sister with the names for [[Mangaka|her comic]] because she's usually too busy or lazy to do them herself.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: To Meiko. It’s not that he’s annoying by other people’s standards, but to his sister, his strict personality is extremely irritating and frustrating.
Line 109 ⟶ 101:
* [[Brown Eyes]]
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Granted, given what he does for one of his jobs.
* [[Hot Shoujo Dad]]: YMMV, but ''[http://half-demon-cali.deviantart.com/art/Father-s-Day-11-213860319 seriously]''.{{Dead link}}
* [[Hyperspace Mallet|Hyperspace Bamboo Sword / Katana]]
* [[Looming Silhouette of Rage]]: Run, Rokuro, run!

== Main Recurring Characters ==
=== Rie Hirota (尋田利江) ===
[[File:rie_509.png|frame]]
{{quote|
Rie is Akemi's classmate and foil best friend. She's very much into the occult and the idea of magic, and [[Genki Girl|acts very enthusiastic about it]]. Rie is also a proud [[Otaku]], and a fangirl of [[Full Moon

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
▲Rie is Akemi's classmate and foil best friend. She's very much into the occult and the idea of magic, and [[Genki Girl|acts very enthusiastic about it]]. Rie is also a proud [[Otaku]], and a fangirl of [[Full Moon O Sagashite|Izumi Rio]]. She is great at school, especially English, despite the fact that all she does during class it read (Whether it be manga or an occult book). She's also Daisuke's younger sister by a year.
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Agent Mulder]]: Towards anything pertaining to the occult.
Line 148 ⟶ 137:
=== Daisuke Hirota (尋田大輔) ===
[[File:daisuke2_9767.png|frame]]
▲{{quote| ''"Just who the hell do you think you are, touching my girlfriend like that!?"''}}
Daisuke is Rie's older brother, Akemi's boyfriend, and a second year student at Okashii High. By his profile, he's shown to be a B+ student and a member of the kendo team. He's a truly nice guy with good morals, and is absolutely ''[[Only Sane Man|the]]'' [[Only Sane Man|sanest person in the cast]], but will fly off the handle if you do anything to upset or hurt Akemi. ''[[Berserk Button|He will kick your ass, then.]]'' Like Rokuro, Daisuke is afraid of Shigeru.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[All Work vs. All Play]]: With Rie. He's the former.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Sort of. While his hair looks black, [[Word of God]] says that it's actually more of a gray-ish color.
Line 167 ⟶ 154:
=== Hideki Miura (海卜ひでき) ===
[[File:hki_7998.png|frame]]
▲{{quote| ''"Hey, if there's ever a way, you wanna go on a date with me?"''}}
Hideki is the only other wizard known at the moment. He is Rokuro's [[Bromantic Foil|best friend]], and extremely confident when it comes to getting girls. [[Casanova Wannabe|Even though he's never succeeded once.]] He just comes off as a pervert. He's also been known to screw up and slack off, [[Lazy Bum|and even has a schedule made for skipping classes]]. Despite these qualities, Hideki is shown to be very concerned with the wellfare of his friends, and is helping Rokuro keep the fact that he's now on Earth for a year secret.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Bishounen]]
* [[Bromantic Foil]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[
* [[Half Identical Twin]]: It's mentioned that he has a twin sister named Kyoko.
* [[Idiot Hair]]
Line 188 ⟶ 173:
=== Shichi (志智) / Shichirō {{spoiler|Kyoyoseikan (炯妖凄感志智婁)}} ===
[[File:s11_8441.png|frame]]
▲{{quote| ''[[Onee-Sama|"ONII-SAMA!"]]''}}
Shichi is another resident of [[Another Dimension|Kitakuvaaraji]]. He first appears as an evil spirit, scaring Rie from her home so he could live there while training to become a majikyou, but is later caught and revealed to be a [[Motor Mouth|very talkative]] [[Cute Shotaro Boy|boy]] with the power to control shadows. Shichi is also revealed to be {{spoiler|Maruchi's second and youngest brother}}, and admires him very much. He's two hundred and ten years old and colorblind (Which partly explains his horrible taste in fashion).
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Anime Hair]]: Best example of it in this story so far.
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]
Line 207 ⟶ 190:
* [[Keet]]
* [[Kemonomimi]]: Well, he has a twin-tipped tail, in any case. His ears are fake.
* [[Living Shadow
* [[Motor Mouth]]: God, yes.
* [[Multicolored Hair]]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: 210 years old, and looks like a young teenager.
* [[Only Known
* [[Shape Shifter]]
== The Segawa Family ==
=== Meiko Segawa (瀬雅琶命子) ===
[[File:Meiko_7383.png|frame]]
▲{{quote| ''"He's so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!"''}}
Meiko was the first other Segawa family member to get a formal introduction in ''Mabaka!''. She is the eccentric older sister of Shigeru, and Akemi's only aunt. She's an extremely happy person, and makes her feelings and thoughts known loudly and bluntly. She loves her little brother very much, and is insulted by the fact that he refuses to work with her on her manga, Yamato Master.
She is married to Tsukkomi, and has a daughter, Emiri.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Adult Child]]: A straight-forward case, and lampshaded by Shigeru.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Apparently, bringing up the topic of her age is a sore spot for her.
Line 232 ⟶ 212:
* [[Genki Girl]]: Even at her age...
* [[Insistent Terminology]]
{{quote|
** She also insists that Akemi call her 'Aunt Meiko' instead of 'Meiko-obasan', simply because she thinks Akemi needs to work on her English.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Is incapable of making food edible. Her whole family dreads it when she walks into a kitchen.
Line 241 ⟶ 221:
=== Tsukkomi Segawa (瀬雅琶月混) ===
[[File:Tsukkomi_5.png|frame]]
▲{{quote| ''"Very sorry to disturb you, Shigeru-san... We'll just be on our way now."''}}
The most worrisome character of the story. He's a company worker who married into the Segawa family by marrying Meiko. He's a rather nervous man, and he's known to [[Apologizes a Lot|apologize a lot]] - Mainly to Shigeru. When altercations break out between the two siblings, Tsukkomi is the one who tries to remain neutral and calm them down. He's also the tallest character in the series.
He has a single daughter named Emiri.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Apologizes a Lot]]: Usually it's for Meiko and her [[Genki Girl|genki-ness]].
* [[Blue Eyes]]: A dark navy shade.
Line 258 ⟶ 236:
=== Emiri Segawa (瀬雅琶笑理) ===
[[File:Emiri_7195.png|frame]]
{{quote|
▲{{quote| ''"I happen to read a lot of medical journals when I visit the library. After all, I am going to be either an ophthalmologist or an anthropologist. Fields like that are really fascinating, you know!"''}}
Emiri is Akemi's eleven-year-old cousin. She's the daughter of Tsukkomi and Meiko, and seems to be more like [[Only Sane Man|her father]] than [[Adult Child|her mother]]. She has more common sense than most of her family does, as it's noted by Akemi. She may or may not be classified as a know-it-all, depending on who you ask. Apparently, she wants to go into the medical field when she's older. She also tends to invariably tick Rokuro off whenever they speak.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Blue Eyes]]: The same shade as her dad.
* [[Bob Haircut]]
Line 269 ⟶ 245:
=== Hazuki Segawa (瀬雅琶葉月) ===
Akemi's mother and Shigeru's {{spoiler|dead}} wife. Not much is known about her, other than that she was very beautiful and "went away" at a young age.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
▲Akemi's mother and Shigeru's {{spoiler|dead}} wife. Not much is known about her, other than that she was very beautiful and "went away" at a young age.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Where do you think Akemi gets it from?
* [[Blue Eyes]]
Line 281 ⟶ 255:
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Her daughter is nearly the spitting image of her.
