The characters of the light novel, manga, and anime series Ookami-san.
Ryoko Ookami
Voiced by: Shizuka Ito (JP), Brina Palencia (EN)
The title character, Ryoko is a steadfast and serious, young woman, a member of the Otogi Bank, and our resident tsundere. She often works alongside Ringo. She is quick to deny her slowly reciprocating feelings for Ryoshi.
Fairy Tales: "Little Red Riding Hood"; "The Wolf and the Seven Kids"; "The Three Little Pigs"; "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", The Wolf
- A-Cup Angst
- Action Girl
- Animal Motifs: The wolf.
- Anti-Hero: Type 3, with shades of Type 2.
- A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: ...no, actually a Sheep in Wolf's Clothing. Though the narrator calls her A Wolf In Wolf's Clothing, whatever that means.
- Badass Adorable
- Battle Couple: With Ryoshi.
- Broken Bird
- Bruiser with a Soft Center
- Curtains Match the Window
- Cute Bruiser: The Trope picture.
- Cuteness Proximity
- Dark and Troubled Past/Mysterious Past: Hinted at Episode 2, confirmed in episode 5 -- Attempted Rape.

- Everyone Can See It
- Expy: She looks very similar and shares many character traits with Taiga Aisaka from Toradora!.

- Idiot Hair: Has one of these in the manga.
- Jerkass Facade
- Kindhearted Cat Lover
- Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Masculine Girl to Ryoshi's Feminine Boy.

- Ore Onna: Uses completely masculine Japanese vocabulary in her speech.
- Except when she is asleep; during which she uses very gentle and feminine syntax.

Fairy Tale: "Little Red Riding Hood", The Hunter

- Green Eyes
- I Will Protect Her
- Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Feminine Boy to Ryoko's Masculine Girl.
- Naive Newcomer

- Running Gag:
[stare] |
- Shrinking Violet: A rare male example, due to his scopophobia.
- Shy Blue-Haired Guy
- Single-Target Sexuality

- Verbal Tic: Has a tendency to end his sentences with "~su."
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair
Ringo Akai
Voiced by: Kanae Ito (JP), Monica Rial (EN)
Ringo is Ryoko's partner and roommate. Don't let her cutesy appearance fool you -- when push comes to shove, Ringo can be fairly dangerous when she wants to be.
Fairy Tales: "Little Red Riding Hood", Little Red Riding Hood; "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs", Poison Red Apple; possibly the story of Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit, with her as the fruit.

- Anti-Hero: Type IV, scarily bordering on Type V.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: A genuinely nice person until you either (A) give her cause to hate you or (B) become a useful pawn in her schemes.
- Bob Haircut: Along with Hime Cut bangs.
- Curtains Match the Window
- Death Glare: If the narrator even mentions Ryoko's and Ringo's poor fanservice... EH? ... erm, never mind...
- Deliberately Cute Child: Don't like her looks deceive you.
- Fiery Redhead
- Heterosexual Life Partners: With Ryoko.
- Although she does say that she wouldn't mind if Ookami learned to like girls more...
- I Want My Sister to Be Happy: Her reason for being in Otogi Bank after episode 8.
- Little Miss Badass
- Little Red Fighting Hood: She's really more of a support member in a fight, but no one sane would cross her.
- Manipulative Bitch: Can play you like a violin and still be as cute as a button.
- Meaningful Name: She's literally named "Red Apple".
- Older Than They Look: Looks like a child, but she is actually a high school student.
- Pettanko
- Moe: Very deliberately invoked, thanks to training from her mother.
- Red Headed Heroine
- Shipper on Deck: Actively trying to get Ryoko and Ryoshi together.
- Slasher Smile: Pictured above; whenever "everything is going according to plan."
- Tareme Eyes
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Ryoko's Tomboy.
- Verbal Tic: Ends her sentences with -no. Subverted somewhat as it is revealed that it's a deliberate ploy to make herself sound more cute, suggested by her mother, no less.
