In General
- Amazon Brigade: They are all female.
- Apologetic Attacker:
- Mage tends to be this way, even offering to make sure the monster she was threatening to turn into a frog would be a cute frog.
- Fighter, Dark Elf, and Paladin all apologize before killing Mage after she is dominated by a deceased wizard in Episode 9.
- Chainmail Bikini: Most notably Fighter and the Paladin who specializes in close combat, but wears just as little actual armor as the rest. Though believe it or not, their bikini armor actually does give them extra protection from attacks.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The actual names of the heroines are not given, and when they do refer specifically to one another, they call each other by their class.
- Fake Ultimate Hero: The way the king speaks about them in episode 2 implies they have a pretty good reputation In-Universe. In spite of that, the number of times they face an embarrassing failure seems to outweigh their successes considerably.
- Friends with Benefits: Episode 12 strongly implies this with Fighter, Paladin, & Dark Elf while OVA 1 does this with Huntress and Valkyrie.
- Kleptomaniac Hero: In episode 3, the heroines begin raiding various houses and end up being stripped and thrown into the forest by angry villagers.
- Naughty by Night: Clips in episode 12 indicate that the titular warriors (except Mage) engage in "nightly escapades". OVA 1 reveals the same can be said for Huntress and Valkyrie.
- Never My Fault: In episode 9, Fighter, Paladin, and Dark Elf are quick to pass the blame on each other when they think Mage wants to kill them for petty slights, not realizing that she's possessed by the vengeful wizard they killed.
- Nominal Hero: Bordering on Villain Protagonist. It's gradually revealed that The Warriors are all quite greedy, violent, and hedonistic. Fighter and Dark Elf in particular have killed clients before just because they find them annoying. It's implied that they don't really do quests because they want to help people, they do it for the money, fame, and fun, which they then go on to abuse.
- Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: When they rob the villagers, they justify themselves by saying that what they steal will help them save the world, but then we are shown that they used the stolen items to stay in a luxury hotel.
- Stripperific: Every single one of them wear very, very revealing clothes. Though what else did you expect from a series called "Bikini Warriors?"
- Too Dumb to Live: Most of the time when they have to face a new problem, they make the worst possible decision to solve it, like a spectacularly Genre Blind group of RPG players. Mage actually does die in episode 9, (albeit thanks to her teammates' stupidity rather than her own) but it doesn't stick.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: The ending of episode 11 illustrates this trope. The girls may seriously annoy each other and fight a lot, but they are True Companions for real.
Main Characters
Fighter
Designed by: Hisasi
Voiced by: Yōko Hikasa (Japanese), Felecia Angelle (English)
- Accidental Pervert: When she is preparing to fight Black Knight, she trips and falls on top of her, with her hand in Black Knight's breast.
- Close-Range Combatant: Specializes in hand-to-hand combat and is especially skilled with close-ranged weapons.
- Curtains Match the Window: Both her hair and eyes are magenta.
- Determinator: Played for Laughs when she puts all her effort into increasingly menial and humiliating tasks for a pointless Fetch Quest.
- Fiery Redhead: She has red hair and is quite the Determinator.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: Her main weapon is a sword.
- Heroic Lineage: Her father was a great hero in his day.
- Not So Above It All: Although she initially tries to act as the rational member of the group, she often makes the same mistakes as her teammates.
Paladin
Designed by: Onigiri-kun from AliceSoft
Voiced by: Kana Ueda (Japanese), Alexis Tipton (English)
- Covert Pervert: Seems to have a hard time hiding her urges.
- Holy Hand Grenade: She can release holy light that can vanquish any undead minion Necromancer summons.
- Honor Before Reason: Insists on putting herself in danger even when her teammates tell her there is no reason to because performing a Heroic Sacrifice is part of the job of a Paladin (it's also implied to be because she is a masochist).
- Lovable Sex Maniac: Despite being a holy knight, she has, more than once, gleefully offered to prostitute herself. She also seems to have a thing for Naughty Tentacles.
- Moral Myopia: She has no problem stealing from villagers to finance her luxuries, but when villagers rob her and her companions in revenge, she is outraged that they were able to rob her.
- Naughty Nuns: Paladin has an unusually high amount of interest in eroticism, considering her profession.
- Technical Virgin: In spite of the fact she is a pervert, it's mentioned in-series she is a virgin. But that does not prevent her from doing things with the other girls.
Mage
Designed by: saitom
Voiced by: Ai Kakuma (Japanese), Sarah Wiedenheft (English)
- And I Must Scream: Mage is conscious while possessed by the evil wizard, but none of her teammates know this.
- Baby Of The Bunch: She's the youngest member of the party. This is probably why the other three don't give her much respect.
- Demonic Possession: She falls victim to this by an evil wizard trying to get revenge for his death. Her teammates think she's mad at them for petty reasons and kill her in self-defense, not realizing that she's possessed and conscious.
- Hidden Disdain Reveal: Downplayed, but while she agrees that her teammates are awful people for how they treat her, it didn't mean she was angry enough to want to kill them.
- Hot Witch: More like Cute Witch if you ignore the outfit.
- Lust Object: Paladin admits to lusting over Mage's body at one point.
- Only Sane Man: She takes up this role from Fighter starting from episode 4.
- Reluctant Fanservice Girl: She is the shyest character in the series, but that doesn't exclude her from all the Fanservice moments.
- Shrinking Violet: The most timid of the girls.
- Sleeps in the Nude: She is shown to do this in a scene in episode 9 where Dark Elf is secretly trying on (and accidentally breaking) the unused bikini, with a sleeping Mage in a Modesty Bedsheet in the foreground. A snippet from episode 12 shows Mage stripping as she gets ready for bed.
- The exception is in the end of the 7th OVA. As she's camping out in the open, she sleeps clothed .
- Squishy Wizard: Unsuited for close combat, but she can use powerful magic to take down enemies.
- Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Played for laughs, but when she's killed by her comrades, angels come to take her to heaven against her will. Considering that she's probably the only good person among a group of not-so-good people, it makes some sense.
Dark Elf
Designed by: Non Oda
Voiced by: Chiaki Takahashi (Japanese), Dawn M. Bennett (English)
- Brilliant, but Lazy: She can use her many skills to adapt to various adventures. However, she never gives her full effort in any situation.
- Magic Knight: She fights with a sword and can use magic.
- Never Bareheaded: Dark Elf is never seen without her turban. She wears it when she bathes and even when she's "abed" with Fighter, and Paladin.
- Older Than They Look: Because elves live much longer than humans. She claims to have lived “for eons”, although given how much Overrated and Underleveled she is, it’s very likely that she is exaggerating on just how old she is to impress her teammates.
- Token Evil Teammate: Often suggests the more violent course of action, is frequently begging the others to let her kill people, is quite arrogant, betrays the party in episode 12, etc.
Other Characters
Hunter
Designed by: Rei Hiroe
Voiced by: Manami Numakura (Japanese), Tia Ballard (English)
- Country Mouse: What everyone thought when they first heard Hunter talking.
- Opposites Attract: At first she and Valkyrie greatly disliked each other, mostly due to their completely opposite lifestyles. After fighting for a bit, they decide to form their own party and an OVA later revealed they engage in "nightly escapades".
- Optional Party Member: Is set up as this. Same goes for Valkyrie. Played With. She and Valkyrie create their own team instead of joining the main cast, but they as the Eleventh Hour Rangers and are Recurring Characters in the OVA.
- Tastes Better Than It Looks: She cooks using disgusting ingredients like slime monster carcasses, harpie brains, and basilisk eyes. Her food is actually pretty tasty, but the others were disgusted when they learned what was in it.
Valkyrie
Designed by: Tony
Voiced by: Shizuka Itō (Japanese), Mallorie Rodak (English)
- The Chosen One: She claims she was chosen by God Himself to fight evil.
- Opposites Attract: She is a dignified and haughty Valkyrie in a Slap-Slap-Kiss relationship with the uncouth Country Mouse Hunter.
- Rich Bitch: At least from the point of view of the other warriors. Since they are accustomed to the harsh conditions of traveling around on foot, Valkyrie demanding more luxurious accommodations is very annoying for them. At first, she was also very rude to the humble Hunter. If one is to trust Hunter's later evaluation though, she is a Lovable Alpha Bitch deep inside.
- Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: She clearly has lived a sheltered life and had no idea what traveling around on adventures really meant.
- Valley Girl: Speak in this style in the English dub.
Cleric
Designed by: Kazuhiro Takamura
Voiced by: Aimi Tanaka
- Carry a Big Stick: Wield a huge hammer as her weapon.
- Combat Medic: Played With. Hunter and Valkyrie were initially welcoming toward Cleric, having an impression that she, as a healer, is an important asset to the party. Later, when they are attacked by Kunoichi, Cleric picks up her hammer and displays her raw strength, but when she accidentally knocks Hunter out in the process, she suggests Valkyrie to use saliva to clot up her bleeding, revealing that she's not good at healing in the first place.
- Insistent Terminology: It's not that she can't use healing magic! She just sucks at it!
- Leeroy Jenkins: She constantly charges without thinking.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Smashes a magical crystal her party found after defeating a boss because "it looked suspicious". The resulting explosion blows up a country, leading to her and her teammates getting arrested.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Acts like she is the leader of her party, even though her impulsiveness brings more trouble than help to her teammates and she can't even play the role of Combat Medic she is supposed to be.
- Super-Empowering: One thing she is actually good at is praying to the God of War to grant her and her allies strength and power up their weapons.
- Super-Strength: She is strong enough to demolish buildings.
Kunoichi
Designed by: Yasuda Suzuhito
Voiced by: Yumi Hara
- Antiquated Linguistics: She speaks in archaic Japanese.
- Collector of the Strange: She is obsessed with stealing bikinis and bikini armor.
- The Comically Serious: Just watch her declare that she is stealing bikini armor from other people as a hobby with a perfectly straight face.
- Heel–Face Turn: Joins Cleric, Hunter, and Valkyrie’s party in episode 16.
Black Knight
Designed by: AKIRA
Voiced by: Eri Kitamura
- Ambiguous Situation: Is her backstory real or not? Necromancer claims Black Knight made it up, and the episode ends without an explicit denial of this statement, but there isn't any alternative explanation for her knowledge of gaming tropes and modern terms the rest of the cast doesn't recognize.
- Black Knight: The title isn't just for show. She is a knight clad in a Stripperiffic black armor.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: After turning her into the Black Knight, the demons brainwashed her into their instrument to spread terror and chaos. She only recently broke the control and escaped.
- Covert Pervert: A single Accidental Pervert situation is enough to give her the raunchiest fantasies.
- Made of Iron: The heroes seemingly knock her out cold, only for her to get up seconds later.
- Medium Awareness: She seems to have an understanding that they're in a video game and calls out tropes and mechanics right when she sees them.
- Naked on Arrival: The portal she fell through destroyed all her clothes, resulting in her landing in this world naked. The demons who found and captured her quickly equipped her with her armor.
- Nap-Inducing Speak: She randomly decides to tell the heroes the story of how she came to this world despite them not being interested. By the time she is done, everyone else, including Necromancer, fell asleep.
- Never Bareheaded: Like Dark Elf, she is never seen without her helmet, even when she is getting intimate with Fighter and Mage. Granted, it was all in her head, but it's still weird that she would imagine such scenarios like that.
- Rape as Backstory: While she was their brainwashed instrument, the demons frequently molested her.
- Super-Empowering: Once an ordinary girl, demons granted her strength and fighting ability.
- Super-Strength: She is strong enough to send everyone flying from the shockwaves of striking the ground with her halberd.
- Trapped in Another World: She eventually reveals that she used to be a school girl from Earth who fell through a portal into this world, explaining her knowledge of RPG tropes.
Necromancer
Designed by: Akazawa RED
Voiced by: Akane Fujita
- Abhorrent Admirer: For Black Knight. Not because she is ugly or anything, but because Black Knight hates the undead and Necromancer is all about summoning the undead.
- Cute Kitten: The creatures she can summon take the forms of small, adorable kittens.
- Little Sister Heroine: Parodied. She latches into any older woman she likes as her big sister.
- Magical Barefooter: She only wears leggings that wrap around her instep and no shoes. She has no problem walking on rocky ground.
- Necromancer: Her magic allows her to control the dead. She can also turn the living into undead.
- Power Floats: She often levitates instead of walking.
- Psycho Lesbian: If Black Knight's flashback in the 7th OVA is to be taken as truthful, Necromancer may have raped her in the past after she ran away from the demons.
- Summon Magic: She can call forth the undead to fight her battles.
Demon Lord Deathgeld
A gigantic ruler of demons who serves as the main antagonist.
- Big Bad: He wants to conquer the world, and the heroines are trying to stop him. Essentially, he is the typical JRPG Big Bad. Also, quite the literal example, as he is practically Kaiju-sized.
- Demon Lords and Archdevils: He is the local Demon Lord of the setting.
- Evil Is Bigger: He is the Big Bad Final Boss and the biggest character in the series.
- Final Boss: He is the typical JRPG final boss, and Fighter outright calls him this.
- Generic Doomsday Villain: From what little is seen of him, he is basically a typical Demon Lord. He would have an actual personality if the series was actually serious about its plot.
- Large and in Charge: He is, by far, the biggest enemy faced, towering over the heroines by several hundred feet.
- Take Over the World: In episode 12, he mentions that this is his goal.
- Those Were Only Their Scouts: When he is defeated, a council of demons say he was weak and that they will take over operations in this world.
