* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Given the DarkerAndEdgier nature of the anime adaptation, Ayano ends up getting hit the hardest by this. In the manga, she's something of an IdiotSavant and CloudCuckoolander. The CavalierCompetitor and SoreLoser tendencies comes more from immaturity rather than actual malice. In the anime, she has deep-seeded abandonment issues and seems barely coping with depression.
* AdaptationalJerkass: When she's in SeriousMode, becomes not only slightly smug like in the manga, but also gratuitously mean.

* ToughLove: Zigzagged. In her mind, she believes that abandoning Ayano will make her better at badminton. Unfortunately, her "Love" for Ayano is pretty superficial, since she openly admits she values Ayano more for her badminton skills, and not so much for who she is as a human being.

* AbusiveMom: Of the neglectful kind. She abandons Ayano in order to, supposedly, make her become stronger at badminton. While Ayano does become better at badminton, it also results in her developing some serious abandonment issues and [[TookALevelInJerkass taking a level in Jerkass]]

Added DiffLines:

* FauxAffablyEvil: Not exactly "Evil" per se, but she always puts on a friendly and polite demeanor, even though she's a very uncaring individual.
* HateSink: She's a callous, cold-hearted, shallow excuse of a mother with a complete lack of empathy who remorselessly abandons her daughter Ayano because she lost at a game of badminton, resulting in her having psychological issues, and the story more or less makes it clear she doesn't value Ayano or Connie as daughters or human beings, but rather as tools to satisfy her own pride.

Added DiffLines:

* KickTheDog: Abandoning her daughter, Ayano, even it was to make her better at badminton, it was still an incredibly callous thing to do.
* LackOfEmpathy: She outright says she values badminton over the relationship with her daughter, and even says she has no regrets.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: She excuses her abandonment of Ayano by saying she did it to make her better at badminton. Although it sounds like she wanted the best for Ayano, she was really doing it for her own shallow and selfish reasons.

!!Ayano Hanesaki
->Voiced by: Creator/HitomiOhwada (Japanese), Creator/AmberLeeConnors (English)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ayano_hanesaki_141166.jpg]]
A first year in high school and a shy badminton player.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Ayano calls Kaoruko "Sarigiwa" instead of "Serigaya" in the early chapters of the manga. It's not quite clear whether it's really accidental though.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Given the DarkerAndEdgier nature of the anime adaptation, Ayano ends up getting hit the hardest by this. In the manga, she's something of an IdiotSavant and CloudCuckoolander. The CavalierCompetitor and SoreLoser tendencies comes more from immaturity rather than actual malice. In the anime, she has deep-seeded abandonment issues and seems barely coping with depression.
* AdaptationalJerkass: When she's in SeriousMode, becomes not only slightly smug like in the manga, but also gratuitously mean.
* ChildhoodFriends: Ayano and Elena have been friends since kindergarten.
* CurbStompBattle: Most of Ayano's offscreen and onscreen matches are this, especially in middle school.

->Voiced by: Creator/MiyuriShimabukuro (Japanese), Creator/DawnMBennett (English)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nagisa_aragaki_141167.jpg]]
A third year in high school and the team's badminton captain.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: Nagisa has gone from simply grumpy to absolutely tyrannical before her JerkassRealization in episode 3.
* BeautyMark: Nagisa has one on the left side of her mouth.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Nagisa suffers from this. Being tall, a lack of proper training, and having faced only weak opponents means that she is over-reliant on her powerful jumping smash, for which all-rounded players like Ayano have been trained to counter. Her height also makes her heavy, and so she tends to use too much energy for a very limited move.
* BoyishShortHair
* CentipedesDilemma: Nagisa's main problem in the beginning of the series, as she's overthinking her and her opponent's moves, instead of just playing for the fun of it.

A third year in high school and the team's vice-captain
----

A first year in high school and the badminton club's manager as well as Ayano's childhood friend, and classmate.
----
* ChildhoodFriends: Ayano and Elena have been friends since kindergarten.
* CuteSportsClubManager: Elena joins the club as manager (voluntarily in the anime, while she kinda just goes with the flow in the manga).

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kentaro_tachibana_143168.jpg]]
The coach of the women's badminton club.
----
* AdultsAreUseless: Zig-zagged in the anime. Tachibana is a very competent coach in both the sport and emotional side when it comes to Nagisa's issues, helping her out of her slump and noticing her problem with her knee. However, he doesn't do anything regarding Ayano's issues even after learning her backstory or after she becomes a {{Jerkass}} with permanent EmptyEyes during the tournament.
* CareerEndingInjury: Kentarou was good enough to be selected to go to the Olympics, but a knee injury ruined his chances. Because of that, he does all he can to avoid the same fate to Nagisa when it turns out her right knee is fragile (due her height and weight putting a lot a pressure on it). Which includes [[spoiler:stopping her match against Connie when they were tied and it seemed like it would never end]], causing the latter no end of frustration.
* CoolShades: Kentaro is introduced wearing these in the anime, which makes him look more like some fishy model recruiter than like a badminton coach.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaoruko_serigaya_147259.jpg]]
Ayano's rival during their middle school days and a member of the Konan High School badminton club.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: Kaoruko has gone from comically haughty to insufferably arrogant.
* BirdsOfAFeather: How Kaoruko sees her relationship with Ayano. To her, they are "meant to love each other" because they're both jerks, except she doesn't try to pretend otherwise. Miki, however, knows full well that Kaoruko herself [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold isn't as bad as she pretends to be]].
* CombatPragmatist: Kaoruko is very good at psychologically attacking her opponents in order to give herself an edge.
* RapunzelHair

A badminton player from Denmark, who was trained by Uchika Hanesaki and a member of the Fredericia girls badminton club.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: A proud and sometimes severe girl who nonetheless cherishes her friends [[spoiler:and wants to be together with her sister Ayano]], has become a self-entitled jerk who seems to loathe Ayano and shuns her own teammates at first.
* AlliterativeName: '''C'''onnie '''C'''hristensen
* DefrostingIceQueen: Connie shows a new variety of emotions after being dragged into the bathroom by Yuika and Hina. An extra chapter in the manga shows that defrosting Connie is the first thing these two did when she came into the club, playfully embarrassing her in all sorts of ways to get her off her high horse.
* SexyScandinavian: She's from Denmark.

She was Riko's middle school friend and a semifinalist from a past badminton tournament.
----
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: The anime made Riko and Nozomi old friends from middle school, even though they don't know each other in the manga (although they do have a match).
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Riko isn't particularly fast or athletic, but she compensates with a great ability to analyze the opponent and adapt her playstyle during a match. This notably allows her to win against [[spoiler:Hashidzume Emi]], who was technically a much more skilled player.

A retired badminton champion and Ayano's mother.
----
* TheAce: She is viewed as such, winning 10 All Japan national titles and the players she trained (Ayano, Connie and [[spoiler:Wang Li Xiao]]) are World Class elites.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the flashbacks, she's less sympathetic.
