A list of characters from Because I Love You. There sure are a lot.
Ness
The leader of the five Saviours of Hikami. He aspires to fulfill the prophecy and defeat Giygas. His personality is shown as adventurous, determined and fun-loving. He deeply enjoys his quest, although he really doesn't know when to be serious.
- Adorably Precocious Child: Constantly trying to act mature, being outside the safety of the orphanage, although he lapses into childish behavior
sometimesa lot of the time.
- Idiot Hero: He just doesn't know when to be serious.
- Kid Hero: Like the other Saviours, he's 12-13.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: Positive about pretty much everything.
Paula
The only female Saviour, and Ness' personal love interest (both of them deny it though). She is normally docile, caring and optimistic. Paula is usually the one who keeps the team together.
- Team Mom: She keeps the group together, cooks their meals, and tends to their injuries. What else could she be?
Ninten
Ness' other roommate, and his best friend. He is asthmatic, and will go to great lengths to avoid places with smoke. He is normally knowledgeable, sociable and laid-back. The only one in the group without any magic, but he has some non-offensive Psychic Powers.
- The Arthur Dent: Has the personality of one, but he does have some Psychic Powers, and he is a Saviour.
- Batter Up!: His baseball bat skills compensate for his lack of magic.
- Genius Bruiser: Beware his baseball bat.
- Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Tsuki's initial reaction to his name.
- Why Did It Have To Be Smoke: He has asthma, what more could you expect?
Lucas
A kid who Ness and his roommates have been friends with since early childhood. He is normally timid, gentle and cautious, but can put up a good fight if provoked.
- Adorably Precocious Child: Tries to act like an adult, but his shyness tends to get in the way. Which just makes him even more adorable.
- Friend to All Living Things: Guess which person the forest creatures were most friendly with in Chapter 2.
Claus
Lucas' beloved older twin brother. He is usually cheerful, energetic and loving, but he has a serious side in the form of his alter ego, the Masked Man. Claus is shown to be very caring and affectionate towards Lucas (and the rest of his True Companions, on that note).
- Idiot Hero: Almost as much as Ness! When masked, on the other hand...
- Winged Humanoid: When masked, he sports a pair of large bat wings.
Rakuen
A seraph wolf, who is king of Hikami. He is devoted to making Hikami a better place, as well as ensuring that his daughters, Grace and Lunesta, are happy.
- Meaningful Name: His name is Japanese for 'paradise', and that's exactly how he wants Hikami to be.
- Noble Wolf: A wolf who is also The Good King and a good parent.
- Papa Wolf: Literally; he is a father and his "public reforms" are about making his domain a better place for his daughters.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: The king of Hikami and making it a better place
Grace
Rakuen's older daughter, who is the heir to the throne. She founded, and is in charge of, the Order of the White Rose.- Genki Girl: Full-throttle energy.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: A trait she inherited from her father.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: Grace is the former and Lunesta is the latter.
Lunesta
Rakuen's younger daughter, who serves as Grace's sidekick.
- Genki Girl: To a lesser extent than Grace, though.
- The Lancer: To Grace.
Zeruel
A wolf living at the castle, and one of Rakuen's personal favourites. He is arranged to be married to Grace.
- Arranged Marriage: To Grace, in a rare happy example.
- Goggles Do Nothing: He tends to wear goggles as a headband, for no other purpose than to look cool.
- Sickeningly Sweethearts: With Grace.
Lucario
An anubi, who can control the powers of aura. He acts as a mentor towards Ness and his friends.
- Badass Pacifist: He is normally opposed to violence, but in battle, he kicks royal ass.
Tolkein
A pigeon who delivers letters for the Order of the White Rose.
- Dropped a Bridge on Him: His death was offscreen, and he was said to have been merely 'attacked by a demon wolf', so it counts.
Tsuki
A maid living at the castle. She is a member of the Order of the White Rose.
- Meido: Well, duh!
- Ninja Maid: If the situation calls for it.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Although she's far from evil.
Orion
A dragon living at the castle. He flew Ness, Paula and Ninten there.
- All Animals Are Dogs: He acts like a puppy.
- The Speechless: Kinda justified, since regular dragons are the only non-human creatures who can't talk. However, his roaring and growling is translated in brackets.
