* WellDoneDaughterGirl: Kaguya's father has very high expectations of her which she struggles to live up to. The Kaguya/Mokou feud actually started when she stole the Hourai Elixir (in this universe, a health supplement that really works) from Mokou to please him, and Kaguya is implied to feel extremely guilty about it.

Under construction. Here there be spoilers, marked as far back as the fourth arc (the Red Lily arc) and some of the larger reveals of the third arc. Further addition of spoilers up to the finale.

* [[spoiler: CainAndAbel: Played straight. Satori ended up captured by the Black Claw and her ideals are the antithesis of Koishi's, coming to head in a one-on-one duel in Arc 7.]]

* [[spoiler: HeroesPreferSwords: In Ocean Princess form.]]

* [[spoiler:MakingASplash: Post MidSeasonUpgrade]]

* [[spoiler: MidseasonUpgrade: Following a HeroicBSOD and a stint of BrainwashedAndCrazy, Koishi gains a few extra powers and a SuperMode of sorts. Tides of Doubt enables her to function as [[AnAdventurerIsYou a Mezzer]], it slows down enemies in the area by forcing Koishi's subconscious into their minds, slowing their reactions. ]]

* [[spoiler: SiblingYinYang: Koishi inherently believes in humanity, while Satori believes the only way to change humanity is violence. Their powers are also opposite: Koishi's ability to dive into people's mind and subconscious mezzing contrast with Satori's mind reading. Furthermore, they wield opposing elements, [[MakingASplash Water]] is Koishi's domain while her sister controls ShockAndAwe]]

* [[spoiler:SuperMode: Ocean Princess Koishi, now more of a MidSeasonUpgrade]]

* [[spoiler: WalkingTheEarth: During the finale, Koishi realizes that not only are her abilities mundane "in a world of youkai and magic", but there's an entire world outside of Gensokyo with problems that need solving. Upon realizing this, she decides to leave Gensokyo to become a traveling philantropist. Then, once Sango hears about this, she decides to track her down, intending to talk her out of it, but hearing Koishi's plan from her mouth makes her decide to join her instead.]]

* [[spoiler: WalkingTheEarth: Joins Koishi on her world travels in the finale.]]

* [[spoiler:BodyguardBetrayal: A variant of this occurs just before the final battle. The Ravager isn't Leviathan's bodyguard, but it is essentially her second-in-command. That doesn't stop it from killing her when it decides she can't be trusted.]]

!!'''Sakuya Izayoi/[[spoiler:Miyo "Myon" Konpaku]]'''

The third Siren to join the team. Works at the Scarlet Bakery, and more importantly as a {{Meido}} for the Scarlet sisters, who she is utterly devoted to.

* [[spoiler:SpaceMaster]]: [[spoiler: Her inherent ability. She uses it to manipulate the distance between herself and other things, and unknowingly uses it to dodge bullets at near point-blank range, among other uses.]]

!!'''Youki Saigyouji/[[spoiler:really Youmu Konpaku]]'''

* [[spoiler:HappilyAdopted]]: While there was some emotional manipulation going on [[spoiler:courtesy of Yuyuko]], Youki [[spoiler:(Youmu)]] really does appreciate being [[spoiler:adopted into the Saigyouji family after her family's death.]]

* [[spoiler:ReplacementGoldfish: For the real Youki.]]
* [[spoiler:SiblingYinYang: In both personality and abilities, to Sakuya. Sakuya is a GlassCannon who fires away [[CardSharp cards]] at a distance, while Youmu's abilities mostly require her getting up close and personal. Furthermore, Sakuya's PragmaticHero tendencies irk Youmu's more honorable views]]
* [[spoiler:SweetPollyOliver]]
* [[spoiler:WholesomeCrossdresser]]: At Yuyuko's insistence.

* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead: After her death in the orphanage fire, Shou makes use of her Teardrop to tag along with Nazrin as a ghost. However, only Nazrin and Koishi can hear her]]

* [[spoiler: MissionControl: Due to her ghost status, Shou mostly lends Nazrin her powers while playing this role.]]
* [[spoiler: SharingABody: With Nazrin]]

* [[spoiler: DualWielding: Her Recoil Rods]]
* [[spoiler: HeadsUpDisplay: A result of Shou's Ghost-Rat Protocol.]]

* [[spoiler: PowerArmor: Nazrin and Shou's combined Siren form shares some aspects of this along with some traits of AdaptiveArmor]]
* [[spoiler: SharingABody: Shou shares her mind, enabling her to transform into a Siren]]
* [[spoiler: TakenForGranite[=/=]DisneyDeath: Mamizou betrays Nazrin and turns her into stone, which the story, for all intents and purposes, treats as a death. She gets better.]]

* [[spoiler:HalfHumanHybrid]]

* [[spoiler:SadistTeacher]]: Revealed to be this in the sixth arc, towards Sango. And it causes a bit of MoodWhiplash.


!!'''Iku Nagae[[spoiler: Actually the Woman in Black]]'''

[[spoiler: YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Is shot dead by Leviathan once she has no more need for him.]]

* [[spoiler: BloodyMurder[=/=]CastFromHitPoints: Her latent ability as a member of the Scarlet family, also known as the Blood Knights.]]

* [[spoiler:PowerStrainBlackout: After manifesting Laevatein.]]

* [[spoiler:BrainwashedAndCrazy]]

* [[spoiler:EvilIsHammy: "None of you shall ascend this day. Your vile souls ''will pave the depths of Hell!''"]]

* [[spoiler:MoreThanMindControl: The Mindcoil brings out some latent KnightTemplar tendencies in her, and latches onto her frustration regarding her perceived inability to keep the worst criminals off Gensouto's streets.]]
* [[spoiler:OneWingedAngel: More literal than the other mindcoil victims in that she actually does gain wings in her showdown with the Sirens.]]

* [[spoiler:VictimOfTheWeek]]

!!'''[[spoiler:The original]] Youki Konpaku'''

* [[spoiler:PosthumousCharacter]]
* [[spoiler:YouCanSeeMe: To Koishi, whose Third Eye also allows her to see ghosts.]]

!!'''Mami[[spoiler:zou Futatsuiwa]] '''
A girl working at the Gensouto zoo [[spoiler: She is actually Mamizou Futatsuiwa, the former queen of the tanuki.]]

* [[spoiler: CombatPragmatist: In her fights with Ran and the Sirens, she shows absolutely no sense of fair play. Mamizou's liberal use of backstabs, dopplegangers, petrification, and trickery place her fighting style firmly in this trope]]
* [[spoiler: DopplegangerAttack: Uses a lot of clones in combat, mostly to confuse opponents and provide distractions. To make matters worse, they can also attack physically]]

* [[spoiler: SadisticChoice: During the war against the Ravager, the Ravager threatened to attack her people unless she ambushed her own allies, the kitsune under Ran. Mamizou chose to ambush her own best friend, thus leading to Ran's RoaringRampageofRevenge]]

!!'''Agent Indigo [[spoiler: [=/=]Ran Yakumo]]'''
An agent looking for Mami [[spoiler: Agent Indigo is actually Ran Yakumo, Yukari's former servant and queen of the Kitsune, in the middle of a RoaringRampageofRevenge against Mamizou as a result of Mamizou's decision to ambush the kitsune.]]

* [[spoiler: BattleAura]]
* [[spoiler: TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Towards Mamizou]]
* [[spoiler: RoaringRampageOfRevenge]]
* [[spoiler:RevengeBeforeReason: She abandoned her own responsibilities to chase after Mamizou for centuries]]
* [[spoiler: VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Upon Mamizou's death, Ran doesn't actually have any purpose in life left. Nitori convinces her to direct her efforts towards fighting the Black Claw]]

* [[spoiler:DefrostingIceQueen: Realizes while being attended to by Satori after being laser'd by Leviathan that she isn't quite the cold-blooded killer she was during her introduction.]]

* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: Well, sort of. As she says, she was never really that loyal to the Claw in the first place, but when Leviathan attempts to murder Satori (whom she had gotten quite close to) after fighting Koishi against her orders, she turns on her completely, attacking her in a blind rage. Suffice it to say, her alliance with the Claw ended right about there.]]

* [[spoiler: OfficialCouple: With Satori.]]

!!'''Sword-wielding Black Claw operative[[spoiler: [=/=]Satori Komeji]]'''

Another Black Claw fighter, introduced in the fourth arc.

* [[spoiler: AntiVillain: She joined the Black Claw after seeing firsthand how cruel humans could be to youkai due to her father's work. She grew to believe that HumansAreBastards, and that by helping to see the Claw's goal of taking away the magic power from humans through, she can not only save youkai from humans, but humans from themselves.]]
* [[spoiler: ApologeticAttacker: She apologizes before attacking Koishi at the zoo]]

* [[spoiler: EnemyMine: Following her HeelFaceTurn, this is how she describes her relationship with the White Pearl. In the beginning, at least.]]

* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn: Satori was captured by the Black Claw and convinced by Leviathan to aid their cause]]
** [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn: However, after her sister manages to talk her out of her WellIntentionedExtremist ways after defeating her in battle, followed by her [[TakingTheBullet jumping in front of an attack meant for Satori]] from her boss, ''then'' followed by her attacking Jozu in the same manner, she realizes that Leviathan isn't who she thought she was, and decides she'd be better off working with the White Pearl.]]

* [[spoiler: InTheNameOfTheMoon: Her chant is different from her sister's. In fact, it is explicitly its "antithesis" ]]

* [[spoiler: OfficialCouple: With Jozu.]]
* [[spoiler: ShockAndAwe]]

* [[spoiler: {{Telepathy}}]]

* [[spoiler: WellIntentionedExtremist: Satori believes that the only way to stop humanity's excesses is through violence. This places her in direct conflict with her sister]]

!!'''The Woman in Black[[spoiler: [=/=]Iku Nagae/Leviathan]]'''

Seems to be one of the higher-ups in the Black Claw. She has the power to inflict the Mindcoil on people. [[spoiler: In reality, she is Leviathan, another member of the Ravager research team. Already a brilliant scientist, she became even more involved in the project due to a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against humanity after her parents were killed. She posed as Iku Nagae, the school nurse in order to have easier access to the Sirens]]

[[spoiler: HoistByHisOwnPetard: Is ultimately killed by the Ravager after it decides it can't trust her.]]

* [[spoiler: MadScientist: Responsible for the Mindcoils and played a large role in creating the Ravager]]

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:[[AvertedTrope She is not.]]]] Her obsession with trying to "fix" the Scarlet sisters, leading Flandre to believe she could, and nearly beating up Patchouli had already put her on thin ice, but [[spoiler:after nearly getting Flandre kidnapped and nearly killed,]] she largely falls out of favor with Remilia and Patchouli. When she apologizes for everything she's done, she only gets just enough back for them not to throw her out of the house, but no more, and it takes several months of nonstop work for her to regain their trust. Only Flandre really accepts her apology, and the two of them form a bond almost as strong as the one between her and the other Scarlet sister.

-> [[spoiler:'''Satori:''' "That’s because I haven’t. I still believe in what my master told me; I’ve just found out that she doesn’t. We’re not allies, Yakumo-san. We simply share a common enemy."]]

->[[spoiler:''Rebellion rears its ugly head'']]
->[[spoiler:''I’ll pay no mind to evil’s plea'']]
->[[spoiler:''For I’m the Violet Valkyrie!”'']]

->[[spoiler:"46... why...?"]]

* [[spoiler: AntiVillain: One of her reasons for joining the Black Claw is because she truly does want to end the youkais' suffering and [[HumansAreMonsters protect the world from humans.]]]]

* [[spoiler: BigSisterInstinct: Her other reason for joining the Claw is to convince her sister to stop fighting, because she thinks it's too dangerous for her.]]
-> [[spoiler: I know she’s right, Jozu. It’s a dumb idea for me to go after Koishi myself. But...I still worry about her, even though she’s my enemy now. She’s just a girl, for crying out loud. She shouldn’t be out here risking her life like this.]]
