Guardians

The Guardians are the student council of the school, whose task aside from protecting and representing the general student population is to preserve the Heart's Eggs of said children, and personages within general. They are also tasked with hunting for the Embryo (Due towards Tadase's ideas towards creating him - self as the world's king.), the legendary wish-granting Egg, which of course pits them against the Easter Company. It is primarily composed of four kids: the King's Chair, the Queen's Chair, the Jack's Chair, the Ace's Chair, and the occasional Joker's Chair, only taken via one with three or more Chara. Each of the members has a Guardian Character that represents an aspect of the person they want to be, which grants them special powers when they need it.

The Guardians were founded by Tsukasa, making the current ones the second generation of Guardians.

Amu Hinamori

"We are all the main characters of our own stories!"

Shugo Chara's main protagonist, everybody sees Amu Hinamori as a "Cool and Spicy" girl. In reality, however she's really just a clumsy girl who really has no clue, like the majority of the student population. This changes, however, when she wakes up to find three eggs, each containing a different Character Change, aka an aspect of the personality she wants to be: Ran (Amulet Heart) makes her sporty and athletic, Miki (Amulet Spade) makes her cool and artistic, and Suu (Amulet Clover) makes her sweeter and more domestic. When the Guardians, the school's student council finds out about this, they invite her into their circle — because she, with three Guardian Characters, has the perfect qualifications for the Joker's Chair.

Tadase Hotori

"I'm sorry, but there's already someone I like."
"YOU DARE CALL ME A PRINCE!?"

The current King of the Guardians, polite, smiling Tadase couldn't be any more popular with the ladies (although he could care less). By the first day of school, even Amu has a crush on him, leading her to confess (however she was turned down, as he already liked someone - ...his dog.) His Guardian character, Kiseki, was born from his desire to grow stronger - but of course, in true Shugo Chara fashion, this translates to having Kiseki's dream being to Take Over the World.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki

Nagihiko Fujisaki

"Could you please keep this secret from the others a while longer?"

Nadeshiko is introduced as the beautiful, charismatic Queen's Chair of the Guardians, who openly befriends Amu and was the one who constantly attempted to get her to join. She succeeded, of course, and she soon became one of Amu's best friends and one of the few people she'd confide in. A bit later on, though, Nadeshiko abruptly leaves to study dancing in Europe: much to Amu's sadness and disappointment when she left without saying goodbye. Her place as the Queen's Chair was filled by Rima. Nadeshiko comes back later on, though, although not as the girl we all know and love - because he was never a girl in the first place. The Fujisakis have a tradition of raising their sons as females so that they can easily become graceful while dancing. Nagihiko tells Amu he's Nadeshiko's twin brother, and has problems with telling her the truth. Her Chara is the fierce-tempered dancer Temari, representing her desire to dance better. While in Europe, she goes back to her egg because of Nagihiko's gender problems and is replaced by Rhythm, born from Nagihiko's desire to play basketball. Nagihiko gets her back, though.

Amu: It looks like we have a winner...

Kuukai Souma

"It's been a while since we did it. Let's go, special training!"

One year senior to Amu, upbeat, energetic Kukai was the Jack's Chair during Amu's first year as a Guardian. He adores sports, as seen by his Guardian Character Daichi. He graduates by the end of the year, moving up to high school, telling the Guardians that he's just at the other end of the school. He occasionally drops by to check in on them and to see how things are going. During her beginning years as a Guardian, Amu viewed Kukai as almost like an older brother.

Yaya Yuiki

"Hey, why is everyone so sad? I'm the baby here and the only one allowed to cry!"

The current Ace's Chair, Yaya is one year Amu's junior and is seen as hyperactive, childish and immature - however, this is only because of her desire to remain a baby forever because she felt that her parents were ignoring her in favor of her baby brother (as seen by her Guardian Character, Pepe). She is also a good, albeit rather clumsy, ballerina.

Rima Mashiro

"Teacher, there's nothing funny so why would I smile?"

A New Transfer Student who replaces Nadeshiko as the Queen's Chair. This earns her a warm reception from the boys in school (while the girls are annoyed by her arrogance), resulting in an Instant Fanclub because of her beauty. Beautiful as she is, however, Rima's got her own insecurities: She was kidnapped a few years before the start of the story, and, thus, her parents are overprotective to the point of actually making more damage to her than the kidnap itself, which, due towards it's short duration, Rima was pretty much fine about, and only fears it due towards the effect it had in the aftermath. However, it did, when combined with her liking for comedy, help create her Chara Kusukusu.

Kairi Sanjou

Rikka Hiiragi

Easter

Ikuto Tsukiyomi

Although introduced as an Easter employee, it is pretty clear from the beginning that Ikuto doesn't care about their plans. If he does find The Embryo, he plans to use it for his own purposes — to free himself from the control of his current employers. When not trying to find the Embryo, he can generally be seen romantically teasing or just plain screwing with Amu. Has a lot of annoyances. Kazumu never helped at all.

Utau Hoshina

Tsukiyomi

"I won't lose... to Hinamori Amu."

Yuu Nikaidou

Yukari

Sanjou

Kazuomi Hoshina

  • I Am Not Shazam: At his first appearance, many people thought he was Easter's president aka Gozen, but he is only the director.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: He only wanted to realize the wish of his grandchild, but extremist methods like crushing people's dreams and abusing his stepchilds are going way too far and he too failed in properly raising his grandchild.

Lulu de Morcerf Yamamoto

"Just do everything ya wanna do!"

Tsukumo, Manta and Chichimura

"We won! But... is this really right?"

Gozen

Hikaru Ichinomiya

Other Characters
