History Characters / KonoSubaProtagonists

* GreenEyedMonster:
** Acts jealous about Kazuma, though not in regards to women (to his disappointment) but him introducing himself in the same manner to the chuuni introductions of other male members of her clan. She also gets annoyed at how Iris calls him "onii-sama", most likely due to her annoyance at how Kazuma considers her as JustAKid.
** Becomes really prone to this once she confesses to Kazuma. Especially towards Iris, with their dynamic irritating her to no end. She also didn't take Kazuma and Chris' closeness very well when she happened upon the two.

* CatsHateWater: Megumin has a hard time giving her baths. [[spoiler:After Wolbach (who loves baths) strangely disappeared without a trace from Megumin's Explosion, Chomusuke's eagerness to join Kazuma for a bath suggests a {{Doppelmerger}}.]]

* GenderBlenderName: In Japanese, given names ending with -suke are almost always masculine. Aqua wants to change her name because of this, but Megumin refuses.

* SleepModeSize: Her small appearance is the result of [[spoiler:her humanoid half]] sealing most of her power. Her original form is a [[PantheraAwesome giant panther-like beast]].

* {{Foil}}: The two members native to the alternate world, Megumin and Darkness, contrast each other. Megumin is the youngest member of the party with an immature figure, while Darkness is (physically, considering Aqua) the oldest with a voluptuous figure. Megumin [[SquishyWizard focuses on explosive magic power]], while Darkness boasts [[StoneWall high physical strength and durability]]. Megumin's family lives in PerpetualPoverty, while Darkness comes from nobility.

* {{Foil}}: To Darkness. Megumin is short, slim, red-eyed, and dark-haired, while Darkness is tall, full-bodied, blue-eyed, and blonde. Megumin is frail but has extreme offensive power, while Darkness is more defense-oriented. Megumin is obviously being selfish in her devotion to ''Explosion'', where Darkness appears to be acting selflessly by shielding others, but Megumin is willing to learn other spells if Kazuma really wants her to do so, whilst Darkness is not only motivated to shield others by her masochistic urges, but never even considers learning an offensive skill.

* SurpassedTheTeacher: By Volume 9, she can cast Explosion even faster than [[spoiler:Wolbach]], the person who taught her the spell.

The second and last recruit to Kazuma's party. An eighteen-year-old powerful Crusader with immense strength, and defensive ability... but also poor accuracy and a disturbing masochistic side.

* {{Foil}}: To Megumin. Megumin is short, slim, red-eyed and dark-haired while Darkness is tall, full-bodied, blue-eyed and blonde. Megumin is frail but has extreme offensive power with one shot per battle, while Darkness is the opposite with practically zero offensive ability but much higher endurance. Megumin is obviously being selfish in her devotion to explosion magic, where Darkness appears to be acting selflessly by shielding others (but emphasis on ''appears'', since she's also being selfish).

The second and last recruit to Kazuma's party. A powerful Crusader with immense strength, and defensive ability... but also poor accuracy and a disturbing masochistic side.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:While [[ChainedHeat cuffed]] and sleeping with Kazuma in Volume 12, she confesses that she's fallen for him for rescuing her from marrying Alderp (and generally not being as much of a hopeless scumbag as she'd anticipated), tearfully admitting that she's upset about Megumin taking him. Kazuma is genuinely moved by her confession, but has to turn her down to stay faithful, which she readily accepts.]]

* LivingBattery: Zell is becoming this thanks to Aqua infusing him with her divine energy, and Zell passively absorbing naturally expended mana from Chomusuke, Megumin, Vanir, and Wiz. Even if this is the case, if it's a chicken, it can't actually use the mana, and if Kazuma tried to use [[ManaDrain Drain Touch]] on it, it would probably die. However, [[EmergencyFoodSupplyAnimal eating it for a small boost of mana]] could be worth the experiment...

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: At age thirteen (later fourteen), Megumin is the youngest and shortest member of the party (Kazuma is sixteen, Darkness eighteen, and Aqua at least a few centuries old with a mid-teenage appearance), though she often takes issue with being called a child.

* ADayInTheLimelight: She is the main character of a spin-off series that follows her (mis)adventures before she ran into Kazuma and Aqua.

* IAmNotLeftHanded: She reveals to Wolbach [[spoiler:that she doesn't actually need an incantation to cast Explosion, unlike Wolbach, who does.]]

** Aqua is a [[MakingASplash water]] [[PhysicalGod goddess]] [[WhiteMage Archpriest]] who is a walking anti-[[ReviveKillsZombie undead]]/[[HolyHandGrenade demon]] nuke, but is not very reliable on anything else (though she is surprisingly skilled at random, seemingly useless skills). Also, she's BornUnlucky, and tends to attract all sorts of danger by either screwing up a plan or her godly aura attracting monsters to her.

* AdaptationDyeJob: The Crimson Demons have black hair in the novels, but dark brown hair in the anime.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Mild example; her blonde hair turns orange at the tips in the anime, while she's simply blonde in the novels.

** Even though she is a masochist, being called "Lalatina" is too humiliating for her to enjoy. Likewise for being told she has bulky or hard muscles. And while she usually enjoys public humiliation, being caught getting sentimental over people she thought to be dead but turned out to be alive is also an embarrassment she doesn't enjoy.

* AnimalisticAbomination: Although she looks like a small cat with bat wings, Chomusuke is half of an evil entity divided in two. The other half is [[spoiler:Lord Wolbach]].

* CassandraTruth:
** That she's a flying, fire breathing cat with a powerful demonic aura. Only Kazuma is willing to accept the obvious evidence of it all. Though the reason why even beings like Vanir (and even [[spoiler:her other half Wolbach]]) don't believe that is because she couldn't originally do it, Cecily apparently taught her how.
** Her spinoff reveals that Megumin had known the truth about Chomusuke all along. She just pretends not to notice in order to protect it, as she knows that Chomusuke is [[spoiler:a very powerful demon.]]

* CatsHateWater: Megumin has a hard time giving her baths. [[spoiler:After Wolbach (who loves baths) strangely disappeared without a trace from Megumin's Explosion, Chomusuke's eagerness to join Kazuma for a bath suggests a SplitPersonalityMerge.]]

* AdoptTheFood: Megumin's sister Komekko originally captured her so she could make a meal out of her. However, Megumin grew fond of her and turned her into her {{familiar}}. Komekko still thinks of Chomusuke as food, though.

* * EmergencyFoodSupplyAnimal: Komekko brings home Chomusuke, declaring her to be their dinner. Megumin can't bring herself to kill and eat a kitten, so she decides to keep her as a familiar.

* CatsHateWater: Megumin has a hard time giving her baths. [[spoiler:After Wolbach (who loves baths) strangely disappeared without a trace from Megumin's Explosion, Chomusuke's eagerness to join Kazuma for a bath suggests a FusionDance.]]

* ActionPet: Subverted. Aqua infused Emperor Zell with an enormous amount of divine energy while he was incubating, as doing so for dragons makes them incredibly powerful. Howerver, Zell is actually just a chicken and doesn't have any magical powers besides scaring monsters away with its massive mana pool.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Her black hair in the novels becomes dark brown in the anime.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Looks like a SuperDeformed baby chicken has this effect.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: She is a cat after all.
