The Characters

Some images were obtained from the Ribon homepage


Otomiya Haine


Age: 15

Zodiac: Snake

Eye color: Gold

Hair: Sometimes it's brown, sometimes blonde or in between brown and blond.
I say it's strawberry-blond but only Arina-sensei knows the truth^^
In middle-school it was only to her shoulders but now it's very long except for the part that frames her face.
She puts it in two braids as a servant but as a student,
Haine wears it mostly loose with a little bit tied back in a red ribbon.

Alternative Name: The Seaside Cinderella

The Fax:
Haine-chan is our adorable heroine.
Her former last name was Kamiya but she was adopted by the Otomiya family when she was in the fourth grade.
A new member of the student council, she attends the prestigious school Teikoku and her rank is copper (the lowest rank^^;).
She works as a cleaning servant at her school in order to earn money for her nearly bankrupt family.
Her other job is protecting Shizumasa whom she is totally gaga in love with^^.
Haine used to be a Yankee in middle-school.(Yankee is the term the Japanese use to describe
deliquent kids that dye their hair and act like...Americans^^)

Personality:
Haine-chan, at first seems like the streotypical cute,slightly clumsy, super-genki shoujo manga heroine.
Sometimes she even does ditzy things, like strapping a pet sheep to her face for a disguise.But there's much more to her than
meets the eye. She has a dark side behind that sunny exterior and God help you, if you should piss her off-she's pretty strong! 0_0
She mentions something about a wooden sword but she put it away before she entered high school. She can get really violent
and apparently is very sensitive about her past family (for good reason) and doesn't like discussing it, not even with
her beloved Shizumasa-sama.
Speaking of which, she's crazy for him! She will not use his name without attaching "sama".
She's always worrying about him. She even vows to risk her life to protect him
and even her favorite book was written by him!

Haine-chan's very thoughtful and sweet with her adoptive family and
other friends, especially Ushio whom she likes to glomp a lot^^
She gets along well with the other servants too.The only ones she DOESN'T get along with
are the Gedou members who irk her about her past and Maguri since he's her rival in love... XD

What Chiibi thinks:
I adore Haine-chan!
She's so cute!She's not afraid to confess her feelings to the one she loves
(much less the entire school XD)She kicks ass too! Everyone loves a girl who can kick a boy's ass, don't they!?

In a nutshell, Haine-chan has Maron-chan's bangs, guts and agility,Ion-chan's hairstyle and
clumsiness, and Mitsuki-chan's innocence and naivete,
and most of all, all of the above's extreme cuteness!
What's not to like? ^-^







Touguu Shizumasa

Age: 15

Rank:Gold

Eye color:Blue. (that's right, ladies, he has BLUE eyes!^-^

Hair: Dark silver, methinks.

Alternative Name:"The Koutei"

The Fax:
Shizumasa is the president of the student council and
he holds the most wealth, power and authority at Teikoku.
Even the group opposed to the student council takes off at his command.
This guy is the object of Haine's obsession-er, desire,^^ and of many others as well.
He wrote a book called "The Unforgettable Song of the Witch" when he was pretty
young, so he's probably a child prodigy.Not much is given about him in general except that...he "likes guys".
He claims that he despises Haine but I don't think that's true. If you hated someone would
you pat them on the head? Smile at them? Didn't think so.

Personality: Shizumasa is VERY dignified and usually has a stoic expression on his face. It's not
impossible to see him smile but it's not a frequent thing either. He's quiet and aloof and keeps
to himself a lot. Maora's antics seem to annoy him^^ Although he is involved in
an "ahem" relationship with Maguri, it's quite obvious that he doesn't play the lead.

What Chiibi Thinks: Shizu's sooo cool!XD He's not like the past Arina
male protaganists at all, really (not that they weren't cool)but it's nice to see an original character for once.
Usually the one who's the wealthy prince-like character plays a
minor role in shoujo series. Neat. I love his uniform because it looks like a cape.
And he's easy on the eyes-he looks like Takuto with short hair, kyaaa! ^^




Amamiya Ushio



Age: 15

Rank:Silver

Eye color:Dark purple?

Hair:Silvery,long, and flowy. Sometimes partly in a braid with ribbons.

Alternative Name: "The Hydrangea"

The Fax:
Ushio is Haine-chan's very pretty and loyal best friend. She always sticks by her and encourages
Haine-chan when she's feeling down. Her family is very wealthy
and Ushio looks elegant but she doesn't always say elegant things^^; She joined the
student council after Haine and became the secretary. She claims that she dislikes men but
situations seem to indicate otherwise. Since she hardly talks to her father,
we gather that she does not get along well with him. Her favorite person
is definitely Haine-chan by far. She may think
of Haine as more than just a friend too...^^

Personality:

Ushio is very quiet-proabably more quiet than Shizumasa even,
and they both share the same stoic expression which can only be broken
by Haine-chan^^ Ushio hardly every smiles except at Haine.
She stops smiling if the others point it out.^^ She is not the most
polite girl you'll meet either and will speak harshly to those who
offend or annoy her. She's very poetic and talks like
a haiku poem sometimes.

What Chiibi Thinks:

Ushio's pretty cool =)She's really pretty too and she reminds me of
Chii from Chobits-must be those dark eyes. She's cute when she smiles!
I think that she has a...thing for Haine-chan. There's evidence.
I love how she scares off the other girls when they make Haine uncomfortable.
She'd be a good friend to have.



Tsujimiya Maguri



Age: 15

Rank: Silver

Eye Color: Golden brown

Hair: Blond. Longer parts frame his face (like Haine's) and he always wears a white headband (Chiibi likes!^o^)

Alternative Name: "Baka" (according to Maora)

The Fax:

Maguri is the vice president of the student council and Shizumasa's passionate "partner"XD
His family is in the Yakuza (mafia) and he describes his relationship with Maora as "inseperable but undesirable".^^
He HATES Haine-chan, is always picking on her, and fights with her a lot because hey, she's moving in on his turf! lol

Personality:

Maguri is very short-tempered, rude, and possesive.
He doesn't like the fact that Haine's in the student council, pining after Shizumasa and he lets her know it!
He never lets them be alone together for long. He's undoubtly the "seme" of the
pair and is always coming onto Shizumasa whom he has pet named, "Shiizun" XD

What Chiibi Thinks:

Haha, Maguri is awesome! XD
His actions and words usually have me rolling on the floor with laughter-he's just too funny!
I love both his appearance and fiery personality. I like his fangs!=[ Plus he wears a headband which automatically makes him cool in my book.^_^



Ichinomiya Maora



Age:15

Rank:Silver

Hair:Brown, a bit short with bows on each side

Eye color:Gold.

Alternative name: "Baka", according to Maguri.

The Fax:

Maora is the treasurer of the student council. It was she who announced that
Haine-chan would join them and become Shizu's bodyguard. She is childhood friends with Maguri and they argue a lot.
I think she has a thing for him as well. She owns a pet sheep named Okurimakuri-kun.
Maora likes to eat nikuman (meat buns)

Personality: Maora-chan is very happy-go-lucky. She may come across as a care-free ditz
who never stops smiling, but she's very intelligent in academics and is known as a "super-brain".
She is very friendly to everyone but sometimes her playfulness gets on their nerves; particularly Shizumasa-sama and Maguri.
She often talks in third person to be cutesy and when Maguri tries to interfere with Haine's plans,
she always tries to stop him.

What Chiibi Thinks:

Maora-chan is also very funny and cute, similiar to Haine, but she's not timid in any way and has a
mysterious streak where she makes this devious plotting face...I really wonder about her.
She cracks me up when she does things like putting labels on Shizumasa...XD
