== Seika High ==

=== Misaki Ayuzawa ===

[[File:misaki2_3349.jpg|frame|Our favorite [[Tsundere]].]]

 

The heroine of the story. Seika High's first female president, and is determined to turn it into a girl-friendly school. Her goal is supported by her [[Does Not Like Men|dislike of men]], which stems from her experience of [[Disappeared Dad|her father walking out on their family]], leaving them with a large debt which she tries to work off by being forced to take a part-time job at a [[Maid Cafe]].

 

* [[The Ace]]: She's very competent at nearly everything she does. Inversely, Usui tends to be better than her at ''almost'' everything (they're about equal in [[Badass|badassitude]]).

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Ambiguously Bi]]: In episode 7, when she's dressed as a guy and serving (very appreciative) female customers, she says to herself "This is heaven!" ... yeah.

* [[Badass]]: The only thing she's equal to Usui in.

* [[Battle Aura]]

* [[Brainy Brunette]]

* [[Brown Eyes]]

* [[Death Glare]]/[[Nightmare Face]]: A lot of the time, particularly when she's angry, but it's [[Played for Laughs]].

** Unless she's in the cafe, then it's [[Dissonant Serenity]].

* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Whenever she's pissed at the guys.

* [[Hero Stole My Bike]]: Misaki borrowed Yukimura's bicycle once. She kept her word about returning it.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: She claims that if someone teaches her, she can cook rather well. We mostly haven't seen it; her attempts at riceballs turned out round, perfectly smooth, and ''hard as rock'', and other efforts range from "mangled" to "yuck."

* [[Love Triangle]]: Between her, Usui, and Hinata. Unfortunately for Hinata, the result isn't really in question.

* [[Ship Tease]]: With Usui.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Suzuna.

* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Her and Usui.

** {{spoiler|[[They Do]]}}

 

=== Takumi Usui ===

[[File:Kaichou_wa_Maid_sama_-2_8556.jpg|frame|Too perfect to be human!]]

 

* [[The Ace]]: Textbook example.

* [[Battle Couple]]

* [[Betty and Veronica]]: The Veronica to Hinata's Betty.

** The anime may have it the same as the manga, as it's not clear who kicks the stun gun seeing as Misaki and Usui both have black shoes and pants on at the time.

* [[Bishonen]]: When he makes the effort.

* [[Casual Danger Dialog]]: Hardly ever seems to take dangerous situations seriously.

* [[Chick Magnet]]

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: He reacts this way towards Misaki's closeness to Hinata (though it's because of their childhood friend status).

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Ho Yay]]: Intentionally invokes this between himself and Yukimura by kissing the latter, as a ploy to alleviate Misaki's distress over the kiss he'd previously planted on ''her'' by downplaying its significance.

* [[Last-Name Basis]]: Him and Misaki, though he also calls her "Misa-chan" to tease her about Maid Latte.

* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Misaki is the only girl (and, indeed, the only ''person'') he demonstrates any kind of interest in.

* [[Smart People Play Chess]]

* [[The Stoic]]: How the entire school sees him.

* [[Sue Donym]]: "Usui Janai" / "Not Usui". Aaaand it works.

 

=== Shintani Hinata ===

[[File:86568_6391.jpg|frame|Meet the other guy close to Misaki's heart.]]

 

Misaki's childhood friend, who came to the city just to find her. As children, Misaki kept on protecting him from bullies who picked on him for his fat figure. By the time he came back to the city from living with his grandparents in the country, he'd slimmed down from eating plenty of his grandparents' vegetables. He respects Usui and sees him as a [[Worthy Opponent]] for Misaki's affections. It's noted that he physically resembles Misaki's father.

 

* [[Adorkable]]

* [[Because You Were Nice to Me]]

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Formerly Fat]]: [[All of the Other Reindeer|He used to be bullied]] for being fat. His feelings for Misaki stem from [[Because You Were Nice to Me|her sticking up for him]]. And then he moved away and he slimmed down because of all the vegetables his grandparents made him eat.

* [[Keet]]

* [[Nice Guy]]

 

=== The Three Idiots (Naoya "Shiroyan" Shirakawa, Ikuto "Ikkun" Sarashina, and Ryuunosuke "Kurotatsu" Kurosaki) ===

[[File:threeidiots_9630.jpg|frame|From left to right: Shiroyan, Ikkun, and Kurotatsu]]

 

Three boys at Seika who initially resented Misaki's forceful methods of changing it. When they find out Misaki's job, however, they are instantly charmed and vow to keep her secret. They are now regulars at Maid Latte. Shiroyan and Kurotatsu were in middle school together and used to be delinquents.

 

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[Comic Trio]]

* [[Covert Pervert]]: The three of them. ''Especially'' Kurotatsu.

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Easily Forgiven]]: See below.

* [[Heel Face Turn]] / [[Villain Decay]]: It's really hard to believe, seeing them now, but at the very beginning of the manga, they were menacing figures that [[Moral Event Horizon|tried]] [[Attempted Rape|to rape Misaki]] upon discovering her secret, before Usui blackmailed them into submission, and they became charmed by Misaki.

 

=== Sakura Hanazono ===

[[File:86577_9942.jpg|frame|Adorable, ain't she?]]

 

One of Misaki's best friends, who looks to Misaki for protection against the boys. She has a tendency to fall in love without really knowing what the person is like. She's apparently rejected the captain of the rugby team approximately one hundred times.

 

* [[Cherry Blossom Girl]]: She's got both pinkish hair and associated heavily with love, in addition to her name.

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[The Cutie]]

* [[Dude Magnet]]: Has a lot of boys at school all over her.

* [[Genki Girl]]

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]

 

=== Shizuko Kaga ===

[[File:86569_6158.jpg|frame|Meet the sanest member of the cast.]]

 

Another one of Misaki's best friends, and, like her, is protective of Sakura. She is very intelligent and good in math, but dislikes physical activities. She is a member of the school's flower arranging club. Like Sakura, she does not know about Misaki's parttime job. According to Sakura, she has an older brother studying in university and a younger sister in junior high who look a lot like her.

 

* [[Berserk Button]]: Being dragged into stressful social situations by her friends (usually Sakura) gets her really pissed off, leading to almost drill sergeant-like scolding that intimidates both Sakura and Misaki.

** DO NOT INSULT THE GLASSES

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Meganekko]]

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Occasionally.

* [[The Smart Girl]]

 

=== Shouchiro Yukimura ===

[[File:89530_7489.jpg|frame|Sakura's male counterpart in the "adorable" department.]]

 

The vice president of Seika High's student council, Yukimura is initially terrified of Misaki, but later on gets to see her kind, caring side and gets to be on fairly close terms with her and Usui. He enjoys administrative work, but isn't a very big fan of physical activities. He has a little sister named Ruri, who initially sees him as "sissy" and whom he tries hard to impress.

 

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]] / [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Lately guys in his class have been forcing him to cross dress, drooling over how feminine the final result is.

* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Towards Ruri.

* [[The Cutie]]

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: He looks enough like a girl to make Kanou uncomfortable.

* [[Homoerotic Subtext]]: With Usui and Kanou. Usui regularly sexually harasses him in the [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]] sidebars.

* [[Meido]]: Was forced to wear one of these at one point.

 

=== Soutaro Kanou ===

[[File:525569df_5748.jpg|frame|Just...ignore the bunny ears.]]

 

A withdrawn male student who is initially against Misaki as the student council president because of her aspirations of increasing the female population of Seika High. In order to sabotage her presidency, Kanou tries to hypnotize Misaki, Usui, and the student council into ruining Misaki’s reputation. It is revealed that his gynophobic attitude comes from his mother abandoning his family when he was young and his father warning him to be wary of women. After being forced to work with girls by Misaki as punishment, he starts to get over his gynophobia and later becomes one of the president's allies.

 

* [[Does Not Like Men|Does Not Like Women]] / [[He-Man Woman Hater]]: Like Misaki, one of his parents (in his case, his mother) walked out on their family when he was young. But ''unlike'' Misaki, he isn't hostile towards them: he's ''terrified.'' She helps him get over it.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]

 

=== Maria Miyazono ===

 

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Bi the Way]]

* [[Christmas Cake]]

* [[Dude Magnet]]: Most of the male population of Seika is all over her.

* [[Hot Teacher]]

== Maid Latte ==

 

=== Satsuki Hyoudou ===

[[File:satsuki_7643.jpg|frame|''Does this look thirty to you?'']]

 

Maid Latte's cheerful manager, Satsuki is a kind, perceptive woman who adores Usui and finds Misaki cute. She has an unnamed older brother (Aoi's father) and a younger sister named Nagisa. She has a penchant for attending to different [[Fetish|Fetishes]], which include [[Meganekko|glasses]], [[Catgirl|cat ears]], and [[Fair Cop|policewomen]].

=== Aoi Hyoudou ===

[[File:aoi_7060.png|frame|Bet you didn't see ''that'' coming.]]

 

Satsuki's nephew, the son of her older brother. Ikuto recognizes "her" as a famous internet idol when "she" comes to Maid Latte for a visit. "She" becomes infatuated with Usui, but Misaki sees through the act and reveals Aoi to be male. He tends to be short-tempered and impatient, and is critical of Misaki's fashion tastes. His parents apparently disapprove of his crossdressing.

 

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|Dropped A Bridget on Them]]: Who knew that sweet, cute internet idol Aoi was really a guy?

* [[Princess Curls]]: When crossdressing.

* [[Spoiled Brat]]: He can come off as this, especially in the beginning.

* [[Tsundere]]: Towards Misaki and the three idiots. Obviously he hates them and just wants to manipulate them. Or something. Riiiiight. {{spoiler|To his credit, upon figuring out that he actually liked her he admitted it outright almost immediately and then continued on with the conversation.}}

=== Honoka ===

[[File:honoka_1063.jpg|frame|You wouldn't like her when she's angry.]]

 

An employee at Maid Latte. She possesses a rather maniacal side to her, and is annoyed at Misaki's resistance to her job. She makes a living from part-time work and does not have a full-time job. She takes working at Maid Latte very seriously, which causes friction between her and Misaki over the fact that Misaki is ashamed of working there.

=== Kuuga Sakurai ===

 

A young man who has Sakura's affections. Is rather selfish and rude, and Misaki dislikes him for those reasons.

* [[Dynamic Character]]: {{spoiler|He eventually honestly does start to care for Sakura and drops the flirting with fans act.}}

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Played straight at first, but subverted later once [[Character Development]] hits.

* [[Tsundere]]: Has some shades of this for Sakura.

* [[Bishonen]]

* [[Smoking Is Cool]]

Yukimura's younger sister, who views Usui as a "prince" and doesn't see her own brother as manly at ''all.'' Later, though, she realizes that Usui's "princess" isn't her, and grows to accept Yukimura as her brother.

 

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]

 

 

Satsuki's younger sister and Aoi's aunt. She's very hard on Aoi's crossdressing because her older brother (Aoi's father) disapproves of it. Her shop Ocean House isn't getting as many customers as she would like, so naturally the Maid Latte girls (+Usui) head to it to help, thus the [[Beach Episode]].

 

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
