X (manga)/Characters: Difference between revisions

Despite his rather [[Messianic Archetype|classical characterisation]], Kamui still keeps the spotlight to himself due to his own complex personality. His frail and scrawny appearance (perhaps for [[Yaoi]]-slash purposes) seems almost a joke in comparison to his crushing responsibilities. Yet, his reactions are pretty realistic and quite akin to the ones a [[Real Life]] teenager would display.

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: In the anime.

Like Fuma, Kotori was scarred for life upon watching the gory death of her mother. However, unlike Fuma and Kamui, she doesn't fight physically. Psychologically and physically fragile and [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|pretty much defenseless]], she snaps and breaks down upon {{spoiler|seeing the birth of the second Shinken out of Tokiko Magami's body}}. As foreseen by Hinoto and Kanoe {{spoiler|she ends up being the wedge between Kamui and Fuma. Her brother eventually kills her in front of Kamui}}. She and Kamui share a romantic bound before her untimely death.

* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Not her fault. Look below.

* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Sweet-tempered, serious, discreet and rather shy. She was more outspoken in the TV series, though: Kamui shows her his [[Jerkass Facade]] but [[Plucky Girl|she still tries to re-befriend him]], telling him about her dream of becoming a kimono designer [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigo_dye:Indigo dye#Classical_antiquityClassical antiquity-Middle_AgesMiddle Ages|able to use indigo dye]], which is [[Serious Business]] in Japan.

* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Sex]]}} {{spoiler|Subverted in the anime. ''He'' dies, not her.}}

[[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Beautiful but dark]], [[Ice Queen|frigid and distant]], this [[Lady of War]] is one of the first to arrive in Tokyo and meet the Princess Hinoto.

Orphaned at a young age, she was found in the streets and then raised by [[Miko]] priestesses (who actually were the friends of her [[Missing Mom]], a former comrade of them) and eventually became the Hidden Priestess of the Ise temple. A very skilled swordswoman with the ability to [[Virgin Power|summon her sword from her left hand]]. She initially coldly rejects the rather forward propositions of Sorata but, like Kamui, [[Defrosting Ice Queen|she gradually warms up to him]] and reciprocates. But consummating their love implied {{spoiler|losing her powers and [[Death Byby Sex|sealing up her lover's fate]], [[Generation Xerox|like it apparently happened to her own mother in the past]].}}. Ultimately, she performs {{spoiler|a massive [[Face Heel Turn]] so [[Love Makes You Evil|she could untie Sorata from his obligations of protecting her]] and thus dying for her}}.

* [[OrphansOrphan's Ordeal]]: Her early childhood was tough to say the least...

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]

* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Subverted: When 'Seishiro' does it, it's cool. When Subaru does it, he gets lectured about the health risks - by Seishiro himself, nonetheless.

* [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]: Just like his [[Not So Different|lover]].

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Remember that shy, frail-looking kid from ''[[Tokyo Babylon]]''?

A devoted Catholic [[Hooker Withwith a Heart of Gold|call-girl]], Karen appears sporadically at first before taking a more active role in the plot. She appears as a redhead bombshell.

[[Playing Withwith Fire|Gifted with pyrotechnics]], she is usually aloof towards everyone despite her benevolent disposition and her sensitivity. She forms an [[Unrequited Love|unrequited crush]] on Seiichiro Aoki and never acts on it out of respect for his wife and child. In the anime she eventually {{spoiler|sacrifices herself to save Seiichiro from Yuto but [[Taking You Withwith Me|dying with their enemy]].}}

* [[Hooker Withwith a Heart of Gold]]

* [[Parental Substitute]]: Becomes something of a mother figure to {{spoiler|Nataku}} in the manga.

* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Her signature power.

* {{spoiler|[[Taking You Withwith Me]]}} {{spoiler|With Yuto in the TV series. With Shogo in the film.}}

Bullied all her childhood long because no one could see her dog but her, she has sworn to never accept a man who couldn't see her pet. Ironically, the first man to see Inuki is none other than a Dragon of Earth: Shiryu Kusanagi. [[Love At First Sight|She immediately falls for him]]. She can turn Inuki into a sword when in battle and her pet will do anything to protect her. Upon battling Satsuki Yatoji in the anime, she loses her dog and [[Heroic BSOD|gets horribly depressed]]. After getting a [[Hannibal Lecture]] from Fuma and Satsuki, {{spoiler|she is eventually able to revive Inuki while Fuma steps down}}.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: In the anime and in the manga, Fuma meant to kill her but her will to live alone was enough to repel him and she could eventually revive Inuki.

* [[Chaste Teens]]: Variation. Despite being occasionally hit on by guys, her firm resolve to never accept a man who'd be unable to see Inuki makes her one of these... until she meets Kusanagi.

* [[Friend to All Living Things]]

* [[Joshikousei]]: Subverted. Despite being involved with an older guy, her schoolgirl status, although obvious, is never brought up as part of why he likes her, nor is it ever alluded to otherwise in story.

* [[Magical Girl]]: Variation. She has all the characteristics but doesn't use actual magic.

* [[Meet Cute]]: Her first meeting with Kusanagi in the anime and the manga fits this, slow motion, white feathers of fate and all. Also a case of [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]].

* [[May-December Romance]]: With Kusanagi who is more than twice her age.

* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]]: Subverted mid-story. She wears it all the time but Kusanagi buys her a new set of clothes once hers are too dirty to be worn.

He appears as a brown-haired man in his mid-30's with glasses. [[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Does that physical description look familiar?]]

* [[ItsIt's Not You, ItsIt's My Enemies]]: Why he left Shimako and Yuuka.

* [[Team Dad]]

* [[Badass in Aa Nice Suit]]

* [[Kill It Withwith Water]] and [[Making a Splash]]: Cut and pasted over to Kakyo stand-in Shogo in the film, but is the crux of his supernatural powers in the anime and manga.

* [[Morality Pet]]: Subverted. His CD drama track reveals that Yuto has a little sister named Tomoe (in fact, said drama is presented as a message in her phone's answering machine), but even when the guy ''[[Even Evil Has Loved Ones|does]]'' [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones|genuinely love her]] and [[ItsIt's Not You, ItsIt's My Enemies|shows remorse for not being in contact with her]], he still will continue in his villain ways.

** [[Badass in Aa Nice Suit]]

* [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]]: To a degree, considering his [[Cool Shades]].

* [[Self -Made Orphan]]: Apparently standard practice in his family, considering the Sakurazukamori stuff.

* [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]

[[The Ojou|Born in a very wealthy family]], she manifested her powers at an early age and can connect herself directly to computers by letting them invade her body with their cables. She spends most of her time connected to her giant PC, the Beast, that she got from Kanoe and that [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|stripped her from the last remnants of interest in humans]]. She thoroughly lectures Yuzuriha upon battling her and {{spoiler|kills her spirit dog when she cannot give her a satisfactory answer}}. She also develops feelings for Yuto who is amused by her crush, even though he openly sleeps with Kanoe and doesn't really encourage her advances. This drives the Beast [[Green-Eyed Monster|mad with envy]]. She uses the Beast for reconnaissance purposes and uses him to control electric cables as offensive weapons.

* [[Blue Eyes]]-In the anime.

* [[Hollywood Nerd]]-Type II.

* [[Loners Are Freaks]]: Subverted. Despite her dismissive behaviour, she is appreciated by her fellows and other people in general.

* [[Self -Made Orphan]]: In the TV series, she kills her [[Education Mama|Education Papa]] because he controlled her life WAY too much, using her powers to arrange his death in a car accident.

A [[Barbie Doll Anatomy|genderless]], cybernetic clone of the dead granddaughter of a scientist, Nataku has pretty much [[Flat Character|no personality]] other than that of a lost child. He appears as your usual [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|white-haired]] [[Bishonen]].

In both the anime and manga, he is actually the [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil|least aggressive and asocial]] of all the Dragons of Earth. He is the most reluctant to participate in the end of the world but joins in regardless even though he doesn't share his views with everyone else. His enemy Yuzuriha Nekoi develops romantic feelings for him.

* [[Blood Knight]]: In the movie.

* [[Bruiser Withwith a Soft Center]]: Although the physically strongest of the Seven Angels, even more than Fuma himself, as well as being able to shatter the ground open with one punch, he is a very kind-hearted man indeed.

* [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil]]: Feels no real animosity towards the Seven Seals nor towards humanity as a whole.

* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: He and Hokuto mix it with [[Star-Crossed Lovers]], and also are among [[Tear Jerker|the saddest examples of the trope]].

Although Hinoto has never once failed in her predictions, she was initially unable to determine the eventual path Kamui would take, so she tried to influence him to side with the Dragons of Heaven but Kanoe informed Kamui about his possibility to choose between the two. She functions mainly as the Dragons of Heaven's [[Mission Control]] and is able to use spells to see outside her hidden place. She also constantly fighting her [[Enemy Within]] {{spoiler|her Dark Self, that wishes to live on as a dreamseer and manipulates the group in order to ensure the world is destroyed in the end}}.

* [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses]]: Completely subverted due to the above.

** Arguably, with Kotori in [[The Movie]]. She was ''awfully'' touchy-feely [[Dude, She's Like, in Aa Coma|with the unconscious girl]], huh.

* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: One of her motives in the film and the manga is to actually rescue Hinoto from her [[Blessed Withwith Suck]] condition. By ''destroying the world'', if needed.

* [[WomaninWoman in Black]]: Especially in the Movie but the Manga and TV series count as well.

* {{spoiler|[[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: Tohru's body simply ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_human_combustion:Spontaneous human combustion|started burning on its own]]'', since she was the [[Barrier Maiden]] for ''the Earth itself'' to keep global warming at bay.}}

* [[Romantic Runner -Up]]: Kyougo is a rather odd version, as he technically ''did'' marry Saya but remained as this ''and'' as her [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] since she was in love with someone else.

* [[Canon Foreigner]]: Was specially created for the animated film, since Kakyou had not appeared in the manga by that point and Yuuto's water-control powers had still not been revealed/written either.

* [[Hot -Blooded]]

* [[Kill It Withwith Water]] and [[Making a Splash]]

* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Subaru/Seishirou fangirl.

* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]

* {{spoiler|[[Off Withwith His Head]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Death Byby Origin Story]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Go Out Withwith a Smile]]}}

{{quote| '''SEISHIROU:''' I wonder how old she was. I still am not completely sure. The one that always smiled quietly forever seemed to be a young girl...}}

{{quote| '''SETSUKA''' has an ikebana arrangement: Camellias. Red camellias.<br />

'''SEISHIROU''': Your favorite flower.<br />

* [[Parental Incest]]: As mentioned, her relationship with Seishirou gives a strong vibe of this. She ''does'' say he's the only person she's ever come to care for and love, {{spoiler|and in the manga, when she dies at Sei's hand by her own request, they share a [[Last Kiss]].}}
