Chocolat Meilleur / Chocolat Kato
Chocolat Meilleur / Chocolat Kato
Voiced by: Marika Matsumoto (Japanese)
- Anime Hair: She sports some impressively weird hairstyles over the course of the series.
- Generation Xerox: She and her mother both fell in love with the same kind of people, cold, stoic, broody ogre guys. Chocolat's father and Pierre even look similar.
- I Love You Because I Can't Control You: Part of why she's obsessed with capturing Pierre's heart is because he's so hard to get.
- Only Friend: As little kids, she befriended Vanilla when the other kids in the Magical World saw her as an annoying weakling.
- Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Chocolat loves sports and exploring, but she likes getting dolled up as much as Vanilla.
- Tsundere: Her short temper and aggressive nature make her unpopular in the human world, but when she gives the human boys chocolate on Valentine's Day, they think that both sides of Chocolat are nice — the tsuntsun side, and the deredere side. She initially treats Pierre harshly and coldly, but by the end of the series, she is no longer tsuntsun towards him.

Voiced by: Juri Ihata (Japanese)
- Abdicate the Throne: Vanilla wins the Queen selection in the anime and the manga, but gives up the throne in the former.
- Cute Clumsy Girl: Her cute clumsiness is part of why the boys all go nuts for her.
- Dude Magnet: Vanilla easily gets way more hearts than Chocolat due to boys at their school finding her Shrinking Violet personality so endearing.
- Evil Costume Switch: She wears a slinky dark purple dress when she becomes the Ogre Princess. She also starts favoring a black feather boa.
- Graceful Ladies Like Purple: She is the princess of the magical world and is associated with the color purple. She plays the trope even straighter when she becomes Queen in the manga.
- The High Queen: She becomes the Queen of the magical world at the end of the manga.
- Lonely at the Top: Vanille's status as princess combined with her introverted personality made her lonely as a child.
- More than Mind Control: Vanilla's descent into the Dark Side is brought on by jealousy of Chocolat and hatred of herself for being weak. Pierre pushed her over the line by knowing which buttons to push.

Pierre
Pierre
Voiced by: Hiroki Konishi (Japanese)
- Attractive Bent-Gender: Chocolat even remarks on how cute he looks in a skirt.
- Beauty Is Bad: He's the prettiest boy in school, is mooned over by tons of girls, and even has his own fanclub. He's also a heartless jerk.
- Break Them by Talking: Pierre was able to convince Vanilla to become his Ogre Princess by picking at her insecurities.
- Does Not Like Spam: His dislike of carrots is a Running Gag.
- Forgotten Friend, New Foe: Was childhood friends with Chocolat before he got kidnapped and turned into the Prince of Ogres.
- Generation Xerox: He looks exactly like his ancestor, the Ice Prince. Subverted when we find out that ogres stole him to become their prince, and thus the resemblance is a coincidence.
- An Ice Person: Pierre uses ice magic most prominently, which is water-based magic.
- Manipulative Bastard: He's quite good at manipulating girls' emotions in order to milk noir hearts out of them.
- Meaningful Name: His first name means "stone" (as in "heart of stone") and his last name, "Tempete du Neige," means "snow storm."
- Motif: He's constantly associated with ice and coldness. When Chocolat first meets him, she even notices that his hand feels chilly, and at school he eats a special diet that consists entirely of cold foods.
- Right-Hand Cat: His familiar is a black cat named Cernunnos, who later turns out to be more than she seems.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Starts off as one but turns into a tsundere towards Chocolat.
- Walking Wasteland: In the magical world, his noir power is strong enough that it saps the energy of any living thing that gets near him. Once he and Chocolat team up, this becomes a problem.
- Younger Than They Look: He's 14, but looks like an adult man. Whether this is intentional or due to Artistic Age is unknown.
