Other Students
Liliana Rosario
First seen in the short story The Ace of Spades, Liliana was involved in several events that firmly linked her to Negi's group.- Action Girl
- Foreign Exchange Student
- Hidden Weapons: Liliana keeps dozens of knives hidden about her person.
- Parental Abandonment: She and her two brothers are orphans.
Maple Birdsong
A mysterious American girl easily recognizable by her haggard appearance and general sense of danger when she's holding a gardening tool. She fled to Mahora with her catatonic sister in tow several years ago; Negi's group helped her make a place of her own. But what caused her to flee her home in the first place, and why?- Action Girl
- Attack! Attack! Attack!: This seems to be her battle strategy. It helps that's she's strong, fast, and unorthodox, and often wields a chainsaw.
- Berserk Button: She seems to have two. The first is anything attacking humans, and the second is anyone bothering her sister.
- The Berserker: It's hard to stop her once she gets going in battle.
- Beware the Quiet Ones: Especially if they're carrying a shovel or, God forbid, a chainsaw.
- The Care Taker: She plays this role for her twin sister Trinity, who is utterly unresponsive.
- Chainsaw Good: Her favorite tool with which to dispense justice.
- Dark and Troubled Past
- Friendless Background: She has no real friends, even among Negi's group, though Misa has been trying to rectify the situation.
- Girl with Psycho Weapon: She prefers a chainsaw, but has a distinct fondness for (and skill with) all sorts of gardening implements.
- Guardian Entity: She has one in the form of a giant skeletal-headed vulture.
- Loners Are Freaks: She suffers from others perceiving her in this way.
- Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: She just wants her sister to be safe; due to past events, she stays away from others for their own protection and tends to go overboard in her attempts to protect her sister, the people of Mahora, and herself in that order by breaking out the chainsaw at the drop of a hat.
- One-Man Army
- Parental Abandonment: Her parents are dead.
- Promotion to Parent: Over her sister Trinity, who is unresponsive and requires someone to take care of her all the time.
- Reluctant Psycho: She has a lot of problems, but does her best to keep herself under control. The fact that Mahora is a magnet for various threats helps, as it gives her something to take out her frustrations on.
Trinity Birdsong
Maple's catatonic sister, she doesn't speak, rarely moves, and can often be seen gazing off into the far distance, eyes unfocused; but this is not her natural state.- Dark and Troubled Past
- Empty Shell: She barely reacts to anything, to the extent that her sister Maple has to feed her, dress her, and do anything else that needs to be done. She will occasionally react to music or someone talking to her, but only by turning her head toward the source of sound.
- Mind Rape: Word of God says this is what happened to her.
- Parental Abandonment: Her parents are dead.

- Beware the Quiet Ones: Again, as proven during the defense of Mahora in the "Intruder" arc in Book 1.
- Foreign Exchange Student
- Girl with Psycho Weapon: Ever wonder why she always wears that poncho? Chances are it's got something to do with hiding the two machetes strapped to her back.
- Hidden Weapons: No one who doesn't already know about her machetes would ever realize they were even there.
- Machete Mayhem: Her weapon of choice.
- Nerves of Steel: Her reaction to suddenly being surrounded by creatures made out of shadow magic? Calmly put her books out of the way and pull her machetes.
- Parental Abandonment: She is an orphan.
- Scarf of Asskicking: She wears one wrapped tightly around her neck to hide her scars.
- The Speechless: She was rendered mute by a severe injury to her throat.
Sakai Reiko
A sarcastic and irritating high school girl who works as Mahora's best-known exorcist. Born with a weak body, she can get away with a lot more than most other people, and is fully capable of taking advantage of the fact. First seen in the short story The Ace of Spades.- Body Horror: The inevitable result of the infection she got in Book 1.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: She is very intelligent, an expert exorcist, and has a magic circle for every situation, but she can't be bothered to get the power turned on for her house.
- Collector of the Strange: As seen in book 1, her house is full of bizarre and macabre items.
- Cool House: It looks like a run down house on the outside, but on the inside she has magic circles providing power for appliances, a whole floor dedicated to dangerous artifacts, and even a captured devil working as a butler.
- The Corruption: The infection she got from Carrick in Book 1 is this, slowly turning her into a ghoul in spite of what anyone tries to do.
- Crazy-Prepared: She is prepared to do an exorcism at any time, and is shown to carry magic artifacts to school in her pocket.
- Disabled Snarker: Though not quite disabled, her body is very weak. She knows the effect this knowledge has on others, and gleefully acts like a jerk whenever she feels like pushing someone.
- Energy Absorption: She uses energy-absorbing magic circles to power appliances in her house.
- Handicapped Badass: By the end of book 1 she can barely manage to hobble around on a cane, and yet she still manages to orchestrate the capture of Jonus Hart, a powerful vampire centuries older than Eva, and even seals his soul in a cheap perfume bottle.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With the ghost girl Aisaka Sayo, though the situation has become a little complicated with Asakura Kazumi's return to Mahora.
- In a Single Bound: She manages this with the aid of a ki enhancing item.
- I See Dead People
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Magnetic Medium
- Nerves of Steel: From beating up a street thug with a wooden sword and siccing an evil spirit on him to facing down an extremely powerful ghoul single handed to orchestrating the capture of a vampire thought to be capable of holding his own against Eva for a couple minutes, she does it all without a hint of hesitation.
- Parental Abandonment: She lives in her own house, yet her parents are conspicuously not mentioned.
- The Reliable One: She is everyone's first choice as an exorcist.
- Seen It All: From exorcising ghosts and spirits to ghouls and vampires attacking the campus, she is unimpressed.
- Soul Jar: She creates these by stuffing troublesome ghosts or spirits into common, everyday items, such as a tacky brooch or an eraser. At the end of Book 1, she is shown to be able to do this with living people too, by sealing Jonus Hart's soul in a cheap perfume bottle.
- Super-Toughness: She pulls this off very temporarily with the help of a ki-enhancing item.
- Weak, but Skilled: In spite of her weak body, she is one of the most skilled exorcists in Japan, and her creativity when using the resources at her disposal has led to such things as using magic collection circles to power her refrigerator, borrowing the strength of a ghost to crush a ghoul's neck, and defeating hardened street thugs single handedly. Not bad for a girl who looks like she belongs in a hospital.
- Wooden Katanas Are Even Better: She carries one around in a sword case, and judging from Chapter 6 of Still Waters 3 Book 1, she knows how to use it.

Three bullies who torment Student #4 Kobayashi Ayumi during the Darkness arc in Book 2.Kohana

- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She's the most normal looking of the three and can even be considered pretty, but she's arguably the worst one.
- Girl with Psycho Weapon
- Improbable Weapon User: In this case, a big pair of sewing shears and a drafting compass.
- The Bully
- The Smart Guy
Shino
- Dumb Muscle: She is easily the stupidest of the three, and is mostly there to cover for Chihomi's physical weakness.
- The Bully
Teachers and Staff
Negi Springfield
- Accidental Pervert: One notable example involves Negi, half naked after a shower, walking into a darkened room where he doesn't know Asuna is sleeping. Asuna does not appreciate it, but realizes that Kamo is the one at fault.

- A Father to His Men: He takes care of everyone on missions.
- Ancestral Weapon: His father's staff.
- Badass Bookworm
- Badass Teacher
- Beam Spam: He can pull this off with hundreds of magic arrows at once.

- Chick Magnet

- Flash Step
- The Hero: He's got a bad case of this.
- Heroic Self-Deprecation: He seems to suffer from this periodically.

- Lightning Bruiser
- Magnetic Hero
- Mental World: Complete with ancient vaguely greek temples.
- Nice Guy
- Oblivious to Love: Not quite as bad as he used to be, but he still qualifies.
- One-Man Army
- Papa Wolf: He is this toward any of his students, even those from his first class who have graduated high school and are older than him.
- Parental Abandonment: His mother is almost certainly dead, and his father hasn't been seen in years.
- Person of Mass Destruction: While not as strong as his manga counterpart (this Negi never went to the magic world, after all), the firepower he was throwing around in the Intruder arc of Book 1 was nothing to sneeze at.
- Shipper on Deck: He ships several couples.
- Natsumi and Kotarou
- Setsuna and Konoka
- Cyrr and Anya (much to Anya's dismay)
- Shock and Awe

- Face of a Thug
- Fireballs: One of his magic related skills.
- Flaming Sword: He can create a sword out of fire magic as seen in Still Waters 1; this is one of his lesser-used skills simply because of the rarity of situations in which it has a viable use.
- Flash Step
- Hidden Depths
- Living Emotional Crutch: He is this for Jennifer.
- Magic Knight
- Magnetic Girlfriend: With Akira attaching herself to him and Jennifer, he's much more palatable to other female characters; by the time Still Waters 3 rolls around, he's had a handful of pactios, after all.
- Magnetic Hero: Not nearly as strongly as Negi, but, like several others, he has his own small group forming around him and Akira.
- Memetic Badass: In-universe. He is unquestionably badass, but his size, his looks, and the stories about what he's done since arriving in Mahora six years ago have raised his reputation as a badass to a ridiculous extent.
- The Mourning After: He suffered from this after Rikki's death for a long time in his backstory. It took meeting Jennifer to pull him out of it.
- The Nicknamer: He has given quite a few of his students nicknames. Possum Cade is "Whiskey", Sato Gin is "Silver", Sophie Rivers is "Sparrow"...
- Oblivious to Love: He had no idea Rikki was attracted to him at first, and there are signs that he's just as oblivious now.
- Odd Friendship: With Makie. Seemingly complete opposites in every way, they've gotten along almost from the beginning. Makie is, in fact, the one he's closest to after Jennifer and Akira.

- Veteran Instructor: He's teaching a team of girls how to use their abilities to fight and stay alive.
- Wall of Weapons: He has a lot of swords.
- Wooden Katanas Are Even Better: When on the job, he carries "The Symbol of P.E. Teacher Authority" a.k.a. a large, heavy, wood sword. It's mostly just a prop to go along with his Stern Teacher reputation, but he lets Makie carry it from time to time, thereby transferring some of his fearsome reputation to her.
Margaret Gunther

- Worf Effect: She suffers from this during the festival tournament, when paired up against Rex Crimson.
Minamoto Shizuna

Chachazero
Often seen in Eva's cabin, she seems to enjoy hanging around with Kamo.- Girl with Psycho Weapon: Her first reaction when someone announces they're about to go train in Eva's resort for a while? "Let me get my kukri!"
- Odd Friendship: With Kamo. They get along very, very well, and judging by Chachazero's comment in the "Mana's Pactio" chapter of Book 2, she seems to be interested in some sort of relationship with him. How such a thing would work is...probably best left unknown.

Kamo
- Dirty Old Man: He keeps a nest of panties in Asuna's room.
- Familiar
- Love Chart: He provides one for Negi in Meet The New Class.

- Blue-and-Orange Morality: She seems to have an odd sense of morality.
- Broken Hero
- The Butcher: Her past selves all had titles like this.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: She often seems a bit...off. It probably has something to do with the fact that she's freaking insane.
- Combat Pragmatist: As she showed quite well in Still Waters 2.
- Dream Walker: She's very good at this.
- Flash Step
- Grand Theft Me: This is the method she used to live forever until she was saved first by Nagi and then again by Max in her backstory.
- Hidden Depths: She seems like a happy go lucky, if somewhat odd, woman on first glance. Dig a little deeper and things start to get weird and/or creepy fast.
- Kung-Fu Wizard: She uses magic in combination with martial arts, as shown in Still Waters 2.
- Living Emotional Crutch: Word of God says she was this for Max for a long, long time.
- Mind Hive: Consisting of over 100 million souls, each one a result of Grand Theft Me. Jennifer is a singular person, though...not a combination of minds.
- Older Than They Look: She appears quite young, and has been occasionally mistaken for a teenager, even though she's Max's age. She's also a body-jumping sort of being who has been around so long even she doesn't remember.
- One of the Kids: She is very much this, getting along with the girls of Negi's class as if they were the same age. Considering that Jennifer as she is now has only been around for ten or fifteen years, it's not very surprising.

- Intelligence Equals Isolation: Hatsune is, to put it bluntly, a genius; she has trouble relating to other people because they just can't keep up with her.
- Lady of War
- Non-Idle Rich: She seems to always be busy with something new.
- Renaissance Man: Hatsune is the sort of genius who picks up new skills with remarkable speed, allowing her to quickly outstrip the abilities of anyone who would teach her, from martial arts masters to teachers; by the time Still Waters 3 takes place, she is only twenty nine, but has mastered dozens of styles of martial arts, and there is no telling what else she is able to do.

A relatively friendly ghost, in life he was a trader from Great Britain who met his end in Japan over a hundred years before the events of Still Waters 3. In death, he haunted the place of his death until Reiko exorcised him, sealing him into the nearest convenient object: a tacky tin brooch. As he is on good terms with Reiko in spite of the exorcism, he allows her to borrow his power whenever she needs it.- Defeat Means Friendship: He is friendly enough to Reiko to lend her his power even though she is the one who sealed him.
- Deflector Shields: When required, he can produce a barrier powerful enough to stop magically enhanced bullets.
Bud
A rather unpleasant appearing devil, Reiko captured him and sealed him in a glass beer bottle, from which he took his name.

Tetsuo
A tremendously strong man in life, he grew angry in death, behaving more like a poltergeist than a normal ghost until Reiko exorcised him, sealing him into a large pink eraser she had in her pocket at the time. Calling on his power is dangerous, as he is very hotheaded.- Defeat Means Friendship: Or maybe more like "grudging respect", based on his personality.
- Super-Strength: Calling on Tetsuo provides a brief burst of strength, enough for someone as weak as Reiko to crush a ghoul's neck.
