Main Characters
Makia O'Drielle
The heroine. She's the daughter of the infamous O'Drielle family, who are the descendants of the Scarlet Witch. In her past life she was Kazuha Oda, a regular Japanese high school student who was murdered by a mysterious assailant. After her childhood friend and knight, Thor, is taken to the royal capital, she resolves to see him again by enrolling into Lune Ruschia Magic School, the most prestigious magic school in the world.
- The Ace: She is the scion of a very powerful (if dreaded) magical bloodline, got second place on her entrance exams, summons two Familiars simultaneously at her first try and later manages to recreate a spell used by the Scarlet Witch herself.
- The Chosen Many: After her date with Thor, she notices that she is the fourth guardian, spotting their Distinguishing Mark. However, she was not the original. The original, Professor Batiste, never revealed his identity, and his position was transferred to her when he lost it by making a Deal with the Devil and dying when the Blue Jester used his puppet magic for a Grand Theft Me spell.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Anyone who tries to take Thor away from her will be met with her wrath.
- Country Mouse: Being the daughter of a rather low-ranking provincial baron, she is unused to life in bigger cities. She almost gets run over by a carriage during her first visit to the capital, and is amazed by its various foods.
- The Dreaded: Not she herself, but her family name. People tend to shiver any time Makia openly announces herself as an O'Drielle, a descendent of the Scarlet Witch. And she's not just a descendant, but her heir and probable reincarnation, leading many to think of her as a suspicious person, if not an outright villain due to the Scarlet Witch's infamy.
- Familiar: She summons two hamsters during class, which turn out to be familiars of the Scarlet Witch, the named spirits Poporoactus and Dontanattez.
- Fiery Redhead: Makia has red hair and is outspoken and outgoing. Her magical skill set also includes fire-powers.
- Green Thumb: She can summon brambles and throny vines to restrain and bind people.
- It Was a Gift: She still wears the red earrings that Thor bought her for her fourteenth birthday.
- I Will Find You: Her main motivation in the early part is to be reunited with Thor after he is chosen as one of the Guardians.
- Lonely Rich Kid: Makia before she met Thor.
- Love Epiphany: She realizes her feelings for Thor on her fourteenth birthday, right before losing him to the prophecy.
- Losing a Shoe in the Struggle: She loses her shoe during the fight against the terrorists in the royal palace.
- Magic Hair: During her fight at the palace, she cuts off her hair and transforms it into restraining bindings. It is later revealed to be a spell originally developed by the Scarlet Witch.
- Ojou: She's the daughter of a noble. Her family is of rather low standing, however.
- Playing with Fire: As a "blessed child of fire", she has the ability to melt or incinerate everything she touches. She uses this to melt Thor's chains upon their first meeting.
- Reincarnation: In addition to being the reincarnation of a Japanese girl, she is almost certainly the reincarnation of the Scarlet Witch.
- Reincarnate in Another World: On the night of her tenth birthday, she dreams about her former life as Kazuha Oda. Only during the meteor shower on her fourteenth birthday does she truly realize that these are her Past-Life Memories.
- Reincarnation Romance: What she eventually hopes to achieve with Thor.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: During the ball, she gets a lot of compliments.Nero: I'm struck by the realization that you're a girl...
- Super Drowning Skills: As a blessed child of fire, she doesn't take well to water, because water spirits hate those blessed by fire and try to drown them.
- Sweet Tooth: She has a great love for cakes and other pastries, even going so far as to choose a lemon-shortcake as her price during her bet with Garnet Team 1. In comparison, Beatrice demands Nero as a price.
- Uptown Girl: Originally to Thor. Eventually it is inverted, as his status as a Guardian had him elevated into higher-ranking nobility.
Thor Bigreitz
Makia's former knight, now one of the Guardians of the Savior. He bears a striking resemblance to Saitou Tooru, a classmate of Kazuha whom she was in love with and who died alongside her in the knife-attack. Thor was a boy from the Frezier Empire who was sold into slavery by his parents, but was saved from it by Makia and her father after they witnessed his incredible magic. He is later chosen as one of the Savior's Guardians and taken to the royal palace to be trained as a knight.
- The Ace: He has immense magical talent, is very skilled at swordplay and admired or envied by basically all around him. His only flaw seems to be that he Sucks at Dancing.
- Ambiguous Situation:
- It is not really clear if he actually is a reincarnation of Tooru or simply an in-universe Expy. While bearing a striking resemblance in looks and personality to the latter, he seems to have no memories of his past life, not even upon eating onigiri, which used to be "his" Trademark Favorite Food.
- His strong magical talent, affinity for gravity magic and resemblance to Lapis also imply a link to the Black Demon King.
- Barefoot Captives: During his introduction as a slave.
- Dragon Rider: Like many of the royal knights, he rides a dragon. His one is also his Familiar, an ice dragon named Griminde.
- Foil: To Prince Gilbert. While Gilbert broke off his own engagement to Beatrice out of total devotion to the Savior, Thor seems unable to forget his feelings for Makia. Gilbert is also a royal Muggle Born of Mages, whereas Thor is a former slave with immense magical talent.
- Happily Adopted: Narrowly Averted. He was on the verge of being adopted into House O'Drielle for his magical talent with the addition of a Perfectly Arranged Marriage to Maikia. Then, however, he manifested his mark as a guardian, and is instead adopted by Lord Bigreitz.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: He carries a sword which he utilizes as part of his Magic Knight-fighting-style.
- Lady and Knight: He has this dynamic with Makia, still calling her "Mylady" even after formally ceasing to be her knight. While they started out as more bickering teens, he acts distinctly more chivalrous after the timeskip. The Savior wishes for such a dynamic with him in vain.
- Made a Slave: Born into a dirt-poor family living in the slums, his parents sold him into slavery. Many people around him constantly remind him of his past.
- Magic Knight: His skillset includes both swordplay and magic.
- Mind over Matter: His magical speciality is telekinesis.
- Servile Snarker: He used to have this dynamic with Makia when he still was her knight. After the timeskip, he adopts a distinctly more chivalric manner towards her, albeit sometimes still teasing.
- Sucks at Dancing: The only thing he struggled at in his youth. He greatly improved during the timeskip.
- Rags to Riches: Went from being a slave from the Frezier Empire slums to being taken in by a provincial noble family, and then being adopted into a wealthier ducal family.
- Reincarnation: He is most likely the reincarnation of Tooru, as well as the Black Demon King. However, he has no access to any Past-Life Memories.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He is a rather tall man with dark hair and a real heartthrob, albeit he has only eyes for Makia.
- The Tease: His main method of flirting with Makia, besides his genuinely knightly behavior. For example, he gives her a half-naked Wall Pin of Love.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: When Makia and the Savior walk in on the knights' training. He promptly goes on to give Makia a teasing Wall Pin of Love.
The Savior and other Guardians
The people chosen by Maydare to save it from calamity. The Savior/Tanaka Airi
The legendary Savior from another world, destined to defeat rogue mages alongside her four guardians. She takes a particular interest in Thor. She is later revealed to be Tanaka Airi, Kazuha's best friend, who survived the knife attack, but was drawn into the world of the book she was writing by the attacker.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She feigns friendship with Makia, even as she sneakily tries to turn Makia into the villain she is inside of her story.
- The Chosen One: She is chosen to be the savior, a new iteration of a legendary hero.
- Designated Hero: In-universe. She is treated as The Chosen One by everyone around her, but acts more like a spoiled brat who doesn't take anything seriously until it deviates from story.
- Entitled to Have You: A female example. She views Thor as this, due to him being destined to be her guardian. He seems to disagree.
- Familiar: Her's is a legendary dragon that used to belong to the White Sage, the old hero's mentor.
- I Just Want to Be You: She was envious of Kazuha, causing her to copy many of the things she did.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Played With. While she was accepting of Tooru's love for Kazuha, she ironically hopes for a one-sided Reincarnation Romance with Thor, while not realizing that she is once again standing between him and Kazuha.
- In the Hood: How she first appears in the story as the Savior.
- Protagonist-Centered Morality: She is rather open about her role as "the main character" of the world and basically views everything she does as righteous and good.
- Survivor Guilt: She fell into deep depression after losing both her friend and her crush in a knife-attack she herself survived.
- Thinks Like a Romance Novel: Given that she was transported into her own romance-novel, she acts and thinks like she is in one, all the while operating on Protagonist-Centered Morality. After Makia gets tired of Airi's efforts to turn her into the villain of Airi's story, she confesses to being Kazuha's reincarnation. Being forced to accept that she is not actually enjoying life in her story causes Airi to have a mental breakdown.
- Trapped in Another World: Instead of being reincarnated like Kazuha, she instead was transported to Maydere.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Being blessed by all spirits has given her power, but also made her already strained psyche even more fragile.

- Extreme Doormat: He is slapped by the Savior merely two panels after his introduction, simply for not being Thor.
- Pegasus: He rides one in his introduction. It seems to be his Familiar.
Gilbert Duke Roy Ruschia
The third Prince of the Kingdom, and one of the chosen Guardians.
- Chick Magnet: His first appearance has a group of young noblewomen swooning over him.
- Foil: To Thor. While Gilbert broke off his own engagement to Beatrice out of total devotion to the Savior, Thor seems unable to forget his feelings for Makia. Gilbert is also a royal Muggle Born of Mages, whereas Thor is a former slave with immense magical talent.
- Jerkass: Despite appearing as a Prince Charming at first, he is quickly shown to be elitist, aggressive and mindlessly devoted to the Savior.
- Muggle Born of Mages: An angry Frey reveals that Gilbert, despite being a Price of The Magocracy Ruschia, can't use magic.

- Villain with Good Publicity: The backstory suggests that he was no less evil than the Three Great Magicians he defeated, and even less humane, but the history books remember him fondly.

The Three Great Magicians
Three almost legendary figures who ushered in an era magic 500 years before the story. They struggled for power and thus endangered countless lives, before being felled by the Hero of Fraxinus.
General
- Ambiguously Evil: While they are portrayed as legendary villains in official records, the Scarlet Witch's diary paints her and the Black Demon King in a way more favorable light.

- Then Let Me Be Evil: A flashback shows that she originally used her magic to help those around her, and only turned evil after continuously facing fear and rejection by the very same people.
- Yandere: The darker influences she has on Makia take this form, greatly exaggerating her Clingy Jealous Girl-tendencies.
