The Familiar of Zero/Characters: Difference between revisions

=== Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière ===

[[File:Zero_Louise.jpg|frame]]

The main female character and a second-year student at the Tristain Academy of Magic... with a terrible track record in practical magic, thus earning her the runic name "Louise the Zero" for her lack of success rate and elemental attributes. Her presence is only mostly based on being the third (and youngest) daughter of the aristocratic La Vallière family, who runs north-eastern Tristain. On a summoning ritual, she accidentally calls upon ordinary Japanese boy Saito Hiraga, and her life will never be the same again. Louise's hobbies are weaving and horseback riding, but she is terrible at the former but is exceptionally good at the latter.

=== Saito {{spoiler|Chevalier de}} Hiraga (Gandalfr, {{spoiler|later also Lifdrasil}}) ===

[[File:Saito_Hiraga.jpg|frame]]

Saito is a Japanese boy who, while picking up his laptop after attempting to get it repaired in Akihabara, gets sucked into a portal and into Tristain. As a Familiar he was treated as more of a servant-dog by Louise, although as time passed he came to love her and decided to protect her at all costs.

=== Siesta ===

[[File:siesta_zero2.jpg|frame]]

A maid at the academy. She has a crush on Saito, and unlike Louise she treats him very kindly. She fell in love with Saito because he stood up for the rights of the people who can't use magic. Recently, she seems to not mind Saito getting punished because she ends up taking care of him anyways. In Season 3, she is appointed by Henrietta to be Saito's personal maid. (It's a long story.)

=== Henrietta de Tristain ===

[[File:henrietta_zero.jpg|frame]]

The well-loved Crown Princess of Tristain and Louise's old friend. She eventually ascends to Queen of Tristain. She has a strong sense of justice and strictly obeys her morals, but based on her interactions with Louise and her budding attraction for Saito, this wasn't always the case in the past. She is a Water mage.

=== Agnes Chevalier de Milan ===

[[File:agnes_zero.jpg|frame]]

Captain of Tristain's Royal Musketeers in service of Henrietta. She is introduced in the second season. She holds a strong animosity towards Fire mages because of her past. Since she appears stern and uninterested in men, many people think or assume that she is a lesbian.

=== Julio Cezare {{spoiler|(Vindalfr, later also Myoznitnirn)}} ===

[[File:julio_zero.jpg|frame]]

A priest-knight from the Holy Empire of Romaglia sent as transferee to Tristain Magic Academy. He also has [[Mismatched Eyes]] -- one red, the other blue -- called the "Moon Eyes" after the twin moons of Halkeginia. Julio is sent by the Pope as a support for Henrietta's expedition to Albion, now in political strife after the fall of the royal family and then followed by the death of Reconquista's leader, Cromwell.

=== Tiffania Westwood ===

[[File:TiffaniaWestwood.jpg|frame]]

A well-endowed half-elf who Saito remembered as "the big-breasted fairy who saved his life" once. She appears in the third season as a regular character, and also has feelings for Saito.

=== Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst ===

[[File:kirche_zero.jpg|frame]]

Louise's classmate and a Fire Mage, whose power is drawn from her strong passion for money. Her family has an intense dislike for the La Vallieres, and thus treats Louise with disdain. She flirts and has dated (and heavily implied in the anime to have slept with) many of the Academy's male students, but falls in love with Saito. Her familiar is a giant flame-tailed salamander she [[Sarcasm Mode|creatively]] calls "Flame".

=== Guiche de Gramont ===

[[File:guiche_zero.jpg|frame]]

Louise's classmate and a consummate playboy despite being in love with Montmorency. He always carries an artificial rose with him, the stem of which is his wand. He also likes to dote upon his familiar, a giant mole named Verdandi. As his familiar indicates, his specialty is earth magic and he prefers to fight using bronze statues called Valkyries. He is named after Antoine V de Gramont, Duke of Guiche, a French military figure.

=== Tabitha {{spoiler|(Charlotte Helene Orléans)}} ===

[[File:tabitha_zero.jpg|frame]]
