== Midori Sugiura ==

Her powers come in the form of a pair of [[Wolverine Claws|sharp claws]] that have [[Razor Floss|wires embedded in them for extended slicing and dicing]]. The other handiwork is left in the hands of her CHILD, a spider/scorpion hybrid called Julia, which traps its foes with sticky webbing.<br />

'''Manga:''' Nao remains largely unchanged in terms of powers and personality, yet somehow manages to come across as both more and less evil than her anime counterpart. On the one hand, she lacks the anime version's sympathetic motivation; on the other, following her initial [[Heel Face Turn]], she remains more or less firmly on the heroes side for the remainder of the storyline (although she never quite stops complaining about it). One major difference is rather than [[Does Not Like Men|totally disliking men]], she's actually something of a flirt, and seems to be so out of genuine interest rather than any ulterior scheme. Usually. }}

* [[Boxed Crook]]: In the manga, goes along with the Ori-Hime unit in exchange for not being punished for her rule-breaking. Mai, however, questions whether Haruka will keep her promise.

* [[Dark Magical Girl]]

* [[Face Heel Revolving Door]] (anime): Starts out as antagonistic and hostile toward the other Himes, then starts cooperating with them before leaving the team after [[The Reveal]] {{spoiler|and becoming an enemy when her eye gets put out, only to come back and fight alongside the others in the finale}}.

* [[Femme Fatale]]: (anime) She lures lecherous men by posing as a girl named "Juliet" and pretends to [[Enjo Kosai|let them "do things" to her]], and then robs them blind. Her reason for choosing this path is because {{spoiler|her mother was seriously wounded in a robbery attempt, and robbing other robbers is Nao's way of revenge}}.

* [[Foe Yay]]: (anime) ''Lots'' with Natsuki.

* [[Headbutting Heroes]]: In the manga, does not get along with any of the other HiME, particularly Natsuki and Haruka.

* [[Hollywood Tone Deaf]]

* [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]] (manga) {{spoiler|Is set on killing Miyu despite Mai’s insistence that she not do it until Miyu receives new orders and stands down}}

* [[Ineffectual Loner]]

* [[Karma Houdini]]: (anime) Her Karma Houdini status stems more from the aforementioned "pervert-baiting" than {{spoiler|her fighting and kidnapping Natsuki}}.

** In the last episode, there’s a scene in which she’s cornered by the perverts she’s been baiting, but then {{spoiler|she gets her powers back and apparently deals with them quite easily}}.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|Targeting Takumi as [[Revenge By Proxy]]}}

* [[Living With the Villain]]: Mai's friend Aoi is Nao's roommate. {{spoiler|However, when Nao undergoes her [[Face Heel Turn]], she leaves the room}}.

* [[Obligatory Swearing]]: In some translations, such as when she tells Haruka to "shut the fuck up" in the manga.

* [[Playing Against Type]]: She's voiced by [[Idol Singer]] Yuka Nanri, the dub voice of Bubbles from ''[[Demashita Power Puff Girls Z]]''.

Akane's Element is a pair of large X-shaped tonfas, and her CHILD is a lion-like beast called Hari, which traps its foes within wind tunnels that shred them to pieces. {{spoiler|Sadly, she only gets to use this attack once in the anime.}}<br />

'''Manga:''' ... Pretty much exactly the same, actually. The major difference is that Akane in the manga has a much, much happier time. }}

* [[The Generic Guy]] (manga): Akane laments her relative adequacy compared to main characters Mai and Natsuki.

* [[High School Sweethearts]]

'''Anime:''' The naïve and sweet Sister Yukariko is the lone nun who works at the chapel on campus. Her personal philosophy is that of allowing God to take care of all of one's troubles, and not giving in to, [[Catch Phrase|as she often likes to put it]], "the passions of youth". Over the course of the story, she falls in love with local art teacher Wataru Ishigami, {{spoiler|1=but realizes too late that he's an extended part of the First District [[Ancient Conspiracy]], and is using her to get inside the heads of the other HiME, so she has no choice but to obey him to ensure her survival in the game.}}<br />

Sister Yukariko uses a bow and arrows as her weapon, and is protected by her CHILD, a disembodied unicorn head (resembling the "knight" chess piece) named St. Vlas. Its powers are mostly stemmed in illusion and deception, rather than straight-up combat.<br />

* [[The Archer]]: (anime) Her Element is a bow and energy arrows.

* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: (anime) She chose to kill Ishigami-sensei and herself, rather than killing Mai.}}

* [[Master of Illusion]]: St. Vlas isn't that suited for combat, but damn good at this.

* [[Nuns Are Mikos]]: She works taking care of a church that looks very much Catholic.

* [[The Pollyanna]]: A bit, in the first part of the series. Her speeches about God, love and forgiveness were ''infamous'' in Fuuka.

* [[Rape Is Love]]: (anime) While Yukariko and Ishigami ''had'' fallen for each other early on, his forceful kiss on her and {{spoiler|the reveal after the [[Grand Finale]] that she was pregnant}} indicates that there was something ''else'' going on in that scene. Definitely not the best way to have handled that.

* [[Master of Illusion]] (manga): Can show images of her and Haruka escaping an attack when in fact they are blocking it.

* [[Meganekko]]

* [[Power Perversion Potential]]: Shizuru suggests Yukino "enjoy(s) watching other people" when Yukino accuses her of kissing and (possibly) raping Natuski, which enrages Haruka.

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Well, not so much "scary" as they are "shiny", because she's one of the good guys. However, they are somewhat scary in the Blu-Ray special, when she prepares an extremely spicy hot dog to feed to {{spoiler|Reito}} as part of a group revenge by the former Himes, and Nao and Natsuki are both terrified as they look on.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Is typically kind and very polite, but is also one of the more powerful and dangerous HiMEs.

* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: (anime) She rarely loses her cool, even when majorly pissed off.

* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]: {{spoiler|during her [[Yandere]] phase in the anime.}}

* [[Easily Forgiven]]: {{spoiler|Natsuki forgives Shizuru in the end}}.

* [[The Glomp]]: {{spoiler|On Natsuki, in the ending}}.

* [[Hime Cut]] ([[Incredibly Lame Pun|Yeah, we went there]].)

** Technically - and ironically - it's not a mispronunciation (Haruka simply uses the word, not knowing what it means); it's actually a variant word used by those from [[Kansai Regional Accent|the Kansai region]].

* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: Shizuru lives in the Kyoto region, and speaks with a "Kyoto-ben" accent. The English dub gives her a slight "[[Southern Belle]]" accent.

* [[Love Makes You Crazy]] / [[Love Makes You Evil]] (anime): Has lingering issues over her belief that her love for Natsuki is wrong, and snaps when Natsuki rejects her.

* [[Lady of War]]: Her Element is a naginata spear, like those that the daughters of samurai were taught to use as self-defense.

* [[Looming Silhouette of Rage]] (anime)

* [[Ojou]]

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Partially subverted. Her eyes are naturally red, but she's a pretty nice girl to hang around. {{spoiler|Except when she loses her mind.}}

* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: {{spoiler|Shizuru is in love with Natsuki. However, when her friends (i.e. Natsuki, Yukino, and Haruka) call her out for choosing love over duty, [[Psycho Lesbian|she snaps]].}}

** Let's just say [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/archived_discussion.php?s_t=Main.Mai-Hime this issue is disputed.]

* [[Spot of Tea]]: A hobby of hers, as it helps her stay calm.

* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Both versions do this.

* [[Kawaisa]]: On the surface, but...

* {{spoiler|[[Flechette Storm]]}}: {{spoiler|One of her Child’s abilities is to shoot a barrage of razor-sharp feathers}}.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|Killing Akira’s child, and thus Takumi, out of jealousy toward Mai}}

In addition to {{spoiler|the Orphans}}, Alyssa's main weapon is {{spoiler|1=an [[Kill Sat|orbital satellite]] called Artemis, which is capable of vaporizing a wide area with its laser beam. The satellite is destroyed by the HiME during their operation to regain control of the school from the Searrs army, and Alyssa is [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|killed shortly thereafter by a disgruntled Joseph Greer]]}}.<br />

'''Manga:''' Alyssa is shown to be largely sympathetic and naive, tricked into helping Saeko unlock the gate to the HiME Star via fear of [[Parental Abandonment]]. As one of the PRINCESSes, her CHILD here is Issac, an orb-like creature with a turtle's head, which she can use to control the gravitational pull. She is at first established to desire Natsuki's affections very much, viewing her as a big sister, but after Natsuki turns on her mother, Alyssa quickly rushes to defend her. }}

* [[Big Sister Worship]] (manga): Toward Natsuki

* [[Gravity Master]]: Her Child's abilities in the manga increase gravity to the point at which its victims cannot move or fight back.

* [[Delinquents]]: Used to be one, until Shiho got him out.

* {{spoiler|[[First Girl Wins|First Boy Wins]]: Yes, technically he ''and'' Mikoto win. She was the first girl Mai met, and he was the first guy, and Mai says she loves them ''both''.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Go Out With a Smile]]: (anime) He manages to face his death (as a result of Mai and Shiho's duel) rather calmly, as the girls he cares for will stop fighting, but admits that even he finds dying somewhat scary.}}

* [[Neutral Female|Neutral Male]]

* [[New Transfer Student]] (manga)

 

== Reito Kanzaki ==

* [[Spot of Tea]]

* {{spoiler|[[Split Personality Takeover]]: Around the last five episodes or so, Reito stops being himself, and the Obsidian Lord's soul does the talking for him. He still sounds the same, but speaks more forcefully when the other personality starts talking.}}

 

=== Haruka Suzushiro ===

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: (anime) Calling Mai in to yell at her about the property damage caused by her arrival at the school.

* [[Forehead of Doom]]: In the manga, this is a bit of a sensitive spot for her. Yuuichi nicknames her "Debochin", or "Forehead".

* [[Harmless Freezing]] (manga): She’s frozen in a block of ice at the end of her fight with Natsuki and Mai, and merely has a cold after being thawed out.

* [[Affably Evil]] (anime)

* [[Bloody Murder]]: (manga) He's shown to create Orphans by tearing open his own skin and letting them spawn from his blood.

* [[Enigmatic Minion]]: {{spoiler|It's not really clear to what extent he's complicit in Mashiro's plans, or views them as separate from/mutually exclusive to his ostensible master the Obsidian Lord's.}}

* [[Smug Snake]] (manga)

* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: When not scheming, he loves to read or watch the landscape.

{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Shinichiro Miki]] (JP), Noel Johannsen (EN)<br />

Anime-only character. Ishigami is the school's art teacher. During school hours, he tends to act awkward and goofy, but becomes much less so later in the series. He develops a crush on Yukariko, whom {{spoiler|1=he uses to get at the other HiMEs so that she can "win" the Carnival}}. }}

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]
