[[File:oniisama_nanako_jpg_2885.jpg|frame]]
The main character of this story. She is a 16 year old young girl from a middle class background who manages to be accepted in Seiran High, a very prestigious all-girls school, and then is a candidate to come into the high-class group named the Sorority.
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

[[File:misonous_jpg_4016.jpg|frame]]
[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Nanako's mom and dad.]] {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|Not exactly.]] Her dad is actually her stepfather, and married Nanako's mom when she was five. He is also the biological father of Takehiko Henmi.}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by these characters include:}}

* {{spoiler|[[Your Cheating Heart]]: The Prof. turned to drinking when his first wife left him and took their kid (Takehiko) away with her, and it was during these days that he met Nanako's mom (the beautiful waitress of his favorite pub) and fell for her. However, the letter that demanded Nanako's ousting from the Sorority accused the second Mrs. Misonoo of being a homewrecker, which she obviously wasn't.}}
[[File:oniisamae_takehiko_4660.jpg|frame]] {{spoiler|(alias Takehiko Misonoo.)}}
Nanako's former tutor, who helped her to get into Seiran. Nanako writes letter to him to tell her how her highschool life is, and refers to him as "Oniisama" ("Older brother").

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Gets FAR more spotlight in the anime than the manga, since in the first she rekindles her friendship to Nanako much faster than the latter.

Line 79 ⟶ 63:
* [[Naive Everygirl]]
* [[Plucky Girl]]

* [[Waka Kanda]]
[[File:oniisamae_mariko_jpg_5633.jpg|frame]]

* [[I Just Want to Be Loved]]
Line 117 ⟶ 97:
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: With her ruby-red lips and [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]] features, 16-year-old Mariko looks at least 18. Lampshaded twice: when she and Nanako [[Bathtub Bonding|take a bath together]] and [[Pettanko|Nanako]] notices that Mariko [[Buxom Is Better|is very curvaceous]] compared to her; and when, in the fair episode, Takashi directly asks Mariko "what, are you ''really'' sixteen?!"
[[File:oniisamae_aya_1240.jpg|frame]]

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]. In the anime rendition of the Sorority Disolution arc, she's made somewhat more sympathetic, and it culminates in this.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Hidden Depths]]: Again in the anime, the aforementioned Dissolution arc shows us what lays behind her psyche. [[Heroic Self-Deprecation|It's... not pretty]].}}
Line 138 ⟶ 114:
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Aya's supreme arrogance and belief that she can pull a [[Karma Houdini]] on almost everything get her verbally or physically mauled more than once. Specially when she {{spoiler|taunts her rival Mariko due to her horrible home life - she pressed Mariko's biggest [[Berserk Button]] ''to the freaking bottom'' and ended up slashed by her boxcutter.}}

The leader of the very exclusive Sorority and daughter to the very rich and noble Ichinomiya family, as well as one of the "Magnificent Three" of Seiran alongside Rei and Kaoru. Very composed and calm and a born leaderess, but with a far more complicated mind.

[[File:oniisamae_kaoru_8265.jpg|frame]]
The second of the "Magnificent Three", Kaoru is also the most tomboyish and levelheaded. She and Rei have been friends for years, and loathes Fukiko for her treatment of her. She takes a [[Cool Big Sis]] role for Nanako, Mariko and Tomoko, as she is the [[Class Representative]] to their class (due to some personal problems she had to be held back for a year, thus she's a first year student despite being older than the rest). {{spoiler|Also has romantic ties to Takehiko, and a huge secret in regards to her health.}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}

Line 217 ⟶ 181:

Mariko's kind and gentle mother, whom she's very close to.

* [[Hot Mom]]
* [[The Ojou]]
* [[Parents
* {{spoiler|[[Rags to Riches]]: According to Mariko, Hikawa and Hisako Shinobu were very poor when they got married, then got progressively richer as Hikawa's novelist career flourished.

[[File:oniisamae_ogiwara_6846.jpg|frame]]
A high-ranked lady from the Sorority, and a close friend of "Lady Mona Lisa" Komabayashi. {{spoiler|In the anime it's explained that she has always been deathly jealous of Fukiko, and tries to upstage her. The results are... a complete disaster.}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: Sorta. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/oniisama_e/v02/c012/22.html She looks VERY different] in the manga, with a [[Bob Haircut]] instead of a ''chignon'' hairbun.

{{break}}
== "Lady Cattleya" Yamamoto ==
[[File:oniisama_cattleya_171.jpg|frame]]

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by these characters include:}}
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Share episode 30 with Aya.
