Tsukihime (月姫?) has a large cast of characters.

[edit] Characters

Shiki Tohno (遠野 志貴 Tōno Shiki?)
Shiki is the main character of the Tsukihime series. He is a kind, honest, if not slightly playful second-year high school student. He is anemic and is prone to fainting, but he tries his best to live a normal life. He has the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception (Chokushi no Magan (直死の魔眼?)), allowing him to see the "Lines" and "Points" that enable him to kill all things using the highly effective assassination techniques hidden in his subconscious. Despite being constantly surrounded by death he has a greater appreciation for life than most people and would never take a human life.
Arcueid Brunestud

Arcueid is the last living True Ancestor. Naive, cheerful, whimsical and somewhat selfish, she has little knowledge of present day customs making her seem childish. All the same, she is very powerful, and there are few in the entire world who could actually oppose her in combat. Arcueid is very possessive of Shiki, often childishly claiming him as "hers".

Ciel (シエル Shieru?)
Ciel is first presented as a senior attending the same school as the main protagonist Shiki Tohno, where she is the president and only member of the tea ceremony club, and also good friends with Arihiko Inui, Satsuki Yumizuka and Shiki himself. Her outward demeanor is that of a calm, friendly, and peaceful person. However, Ciel's true character is later revealed as the story progresses. She is a member of the Burial Agency, a secret organization within the Catholic Church made up of skilled assassins, feared even within the Church itself, known for showing no mercy and willing to do whatever it takes to get their task done even to the point of using forbidden magics and creatures. Her objective in Tsukihime is that of hunting down the heretic vampire Roa, which while being a direct order from the church is also her own vendetta. In Melty Blood she has been ordered by the church to hunt down Roa.
Ciel is shown to be a very skilled individual who relies in speed and agility. In addition to her exceptional physical skills, Ciel relies on certain weaponry detailed below. Ciel's fighting style in the fighting game Melty Blood is based on that shown in both the Tsukihime visual novel and manga. In the anime adaptation Shingetsutan Tsukihime, Ciel's abilities and main weapon were changed.
Ciel (whose real first name is Elesia) was a normal individual born in France to a French father and an Oriental mother. However, unlike those around her, Elesia had a high magic potential, and it was this rare characteristic which ultimately put Roa inside her as his 17th host body after his 16th host body was killed without having chosen his next host body.
In the process, Ciel became a vampire and killed everyone in her village, the massacre only ended when Arcueid Brunestud arrived and killed her, fulfilling her duty of killing Roa whenever he reincarnates. However, unlike previous hosts, Ciel returned to life after Roa had moved on to a new host. The secret Vatican agency known as the Burial Agency captured her, and over the course of a month she was killed repeatedly by the Church, only to rise again on every occasion, because as a host of Roa while Roa was also inhabiting another, it was impossible for her to permanently die until Roa was killed. Despite their usual views on sorcery, vampires, and the like, the Church decided to use her abilities as a member of the Burial Agency, her main desire and mission being the elimination of Roa to end her eternal existence.
Akiha Tohno (遠野 秋葉 Tōno Akiha?)
Akiha is Shiki's younger sister and the current head of the Tohno house. She is extremely proper and rather strict, especially when it comes to her brother. Although she acts cold a lot of the time, she truly does care about Shiki and only wants for him to be safe and happy. As a member of the Tohno clan, Akiha has powerful demonic blood running in her veins and has the ability to steal the "heat" from others. She has a rather short temper and is not entirely too fond of Arcueid or Ciel.
Hisui (翡翠 Hisui?)
  • Birthday: 12 March
  • Blood-type: B
  • Height: 156 cm
  • Weight: 43 kg
  • B76/W58/H82
  • Character image song: PARADE, performed by Soft Ballet
Hisui is one of two, as well as Shiki's personal maid of the Tohno house, the other being her twin sister, Kohaku. She is usually very reserved and gives off a rather cold feeling. Despite this, however, she is in fact quite caring, and is always thinking about those who are close to her. She is very skilled in cleaning and arranging, but is rather inept at cooking because her sense of taste is very "flexible".
Kohaku (琥珀 Kohaku?)
  • Birthday: 12 March
  • Bloodtype: B
  • Height: 156 cm
  • Weight: 43 kg
  • B78/W58/H80
  • Character image song: Yawaraka na kizuato (やわらかな傷痕?), performed by Cocco
Kohaku is the older of the twin maids of the Tohno house, as well as Akiha's personal maid. She is very bright and cheerful, always having a smile on her face. She is quite intelligent, being a skilled practitioner of medicine, and has also shown to be an incredible tactician. She specializes in cooking, but tends to break things often when cleaning.
Aoko Aozaki (蒼崎青子 Aozaki Aoko?)
  • Birthday: 7 July
  • Bloodtype: A
  • Height: 160 cm
  • Weight: 50 kg
  • 88/56/84
The one who gave Shiki the "Mystic-eye-killer glasses" (which she stole from her sister) to prevent him from seeing the lines of death. She is also the one who taught Shiki to value living things, whether it be humans, animals, or even plants.
In the original game and manga she is shown to have a bright cheerful personality that reacts very strongly to careless actions. In the anime she is depicted differently, as having a very quiet attitude. However, despite her personality before Shiki, she is a very powerful sorceress, one of the five sorceresses left in the world. (Please note that there is a large difference between sorceresses and magicians: sorceresses are capable of "miracles" that even magicians cannot pull off.) Her title as a sorceress is "Miss Blue, Magic Gunner", and is notorious in the supernatural world for her lightning-fast temper and capability to destroy, having the power to wipe out entire cities at will. Her sister Touko Aozaki appears in Kara no Kyoukai, and is the original creator of the glasses. Aoko will also be the main star of the upcoming TYPE-MOON visual novel game, Mahōtsukai no Yoru, which serves as a prequel to the events of Tsukihime.

Aoko is the true "final boss" in Melty Blood Re-Act

Satsuki Yumizuka (弓塚 さつき Yumizuka Satsuki?)
  • Birthday: 15 August
  • Height: 161 cm
  • Weight: 45 kg
  • 79/59/82
  • Character image song: T'EN VA PAS, performed by Tomoyo Harada
Shiki's classmate and friend, who likes him very much. She plays somewhat different roles in the game and the anime. In the game, she is shy and has somewhat of an inferiority complex. She has a crush on Shiki, although he is completely oblivious of this and regards her as just another classmate. She is later attacked by Roa while walking at night and infected with vampirism. In several of Tsukihime's routes, Shiki is forced to kill her. In the anime, she is portrayed as somewhat more outgoing and a mutual friend of both Shiki and Inui, and confesses to Shiki near the end of the series. It is news of Yumizuka's supposed death during Nero Chaos's raid on the hotel that finally prompts Shiki to action against the vampire. TYPE-MOON had originally planned for her to be a heroine in the story, as shown in the Tsukihime PLUS-DISC.
Arihiko Inui (乾 有彦 Inui Arihiko?)
  • Birthday: 24 October
  • Bloodtype: B
  • Height: 174 cm
  • Weight: 62 kg
Shiki's classmate and best friend. When Shiki was living with the Arimas, he often used to hang out with Arihiko. He has a competitive attitude against Shiki; Arihiko wants to get a girlfriend before Shiki does. As the player moves through the story, the player will discover that sometimes, Shiki cannot grasp how he became friends with Arihiko in the first place, since Shiki believes Arihiko has a "weird personality." Yet at one point in the game, when Shiki collapses in class due to his condition, Arihiko is the one who loudly informs the teacher that Shiki is sick and needs to be excused. Arihiko then proceeds to help a physically-weakened Shiki to the medical office, thus demonstrating a personality trait that might, depending on the player's subjective perception, serve to explain why Shiki continues to be friends with Arihiko despite Arihiko's sometimes-callous behavior.
Michael Roa Valdamjong
A numberless Dead Apostle that Arcueid is searching for. He was a priest who sought immortality and was able to obtain it through reincarnation. He tricked Arcueid into drinking his blood, therefore making him a vampire. He is an antagonist in most routes of the game. Roa was taught a Reality Marble known as "The Soil of Genesis" which can only be destroyed with something that has a destructive power of something that can destroy a continent. It functions as some kind of cage or restraining device.


Nrvnqsr Chaos (ネロ・カオス Nero Kaosu?)
  • Birthday: 13 February
  • Height: 188 cm
  • Weight: 84 kg
This vampire is known as the tenth of the twenty-seven Ancestors of Dead Apostles, as well as the highest ranking vampire to appear in Tsukihime. Has 666 beasts on his body, from deer and wolves to mythological creatures like unicorns. The only conventional way to kill him is to destroy all 666 beasts at once or he will constantly regenerate; to kill him is practically impossible.
Len
  • Birthday: 9 September
  • Bloodtype: unknown
  • Height: 132 cm
  • Weight: 33 kg
  • 63/48/61
Len is a Demon Succubus Familiar, one who manipulates dreams. Though her first real appearance is in Kagetsu Tohya, in which she is the main heroine, her dream manipulation is seen in Tsukihime when she causes Shiki to have a dream. For a time, she was under the care of Arcueid, but later established a contract with Shiki in Kagetsu Tohya. Len is silent and never speaks (albeit once occurrence before her fight with White Len in Melty Blood), and is shown to be very reserved and unimposing. She has shown, however, to be very moody at times, though she only shows this subtly, if at all. Many of Len's abilities in the game are derived from cats; indeed, in the Melty Blood manga, when she resided within Shiki's household, she demonstrated the ability to transform into a cat. She also has a fondness for cake, first introduced to her by Shiki. Although canonically unconnected to Kagetsu Tohya, it is implied that she has already established a contract with Shiki in MELTY BLOOD.
Sion Eltnam Atlasia (シオン・エルトナム・アトラシア Shion Erutonamu Atorashia?)
  • Birthday: 1 June
  • Bloodtype: O
  • Height: 161 cm
  • Weight: 48 kg
  • 86/55/83
Sion is an alchemist of Atlas, one of the three main branches of the Mages Association. She is a genius scientist, given a position equal to the representative of ATLAS at an extremely young age. Although she is usually calm and calculating, always striving for perfection, she is actually quite emotional and extremely easy to set off. Although she had lived most of her life in solitude, she gained her first true friend in Shiki. She first appears in, and is also the main heroine of the spinoff Melty Blood.
Akira Seo (瀬尾 晶 Seo Akira?)
  • Birthday: 17 January
  • Bloodtype: AB
  • Height: 153 cm
  • Weight: 41 kg
  • 73/59/82
Akiha's friend from her boarding school. Her eyes give her a limited ability to see the future, although usually not entirely clearly. She met Shiki in the events of "Alliance of Illusionary Eyes", and they have remained in contact, to Akiha's chagrin.
Miyako Arima (有間 都古 Arima Miyako?)
  • Birthday: 4 May
  • Bloodtype: O
  • Height: 131 cm
  • Weight: 35 kg
  • 60/46/62

Shiki's non-blood related cousin who became friends with him when he was staying away from the Tohno family ever since the events of eight years ago. She is annoyed at the lack of contact she has had since the events of Tsukihime, and attempts to 'rescue' him from the Tohno family in Melty Blood. However, this triggers a side of Kohaku that should not be awakened.

Nanako (ななこ Nanako?)
  • Birthday: 3/20
  • Height: 145 cm
  • Weight: 38 kg
  • 67/53/74
The spirit of Ciel's weapon, the Seventh Holy Scripture; referred to as "Seven" by Ciel, but nicknamed "Nanako" by Arihiko. She has hoofed feet and a horse tail. She also has the ability to transform into a winged horse, and is quite scared of her master, Ciel. She is a a combination of the spirit of a girl from a poor family who willingly offered her life as a sacrifice to be combined with the spirit of a unicorn's horn. Nanako first appeared in Kagetsu Tohya.
Kishua Zelretch Schweinorg

Zelretch is responsible for killing Crimson Moon Brunestud, the King of Vampires, several centuries ago. However, the Crimson Moon was able to suck Zelretch's blood, turning the Wizard Marshall into a vampire now classified as one of the Twenty Seven Ancestors of Dead Apostles. Zelretch has grown older since that cataclysmic battle, and he can no longer use Kaleidoscope magic extensively. Although a vampire, Zelretch remains an ally of humanity and the nearly extinct race of True Ancestors. He acts as a surrogate grandfather to Arcueid Brunestud, and is both admired and disliked by the Mage's Association; his tutelage, while comprehensive, frequently traumatizes the most promising of students, leaving them unwilling or incapable of continuing their careers.

Two hundred years ago, he helped found the Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars with Zōken Makiri, Nagato Tōsaka, and a homunculus known as Justica von Einzbern. Nagato allows his property, Fuyuki City, to be used as the battleground, while Zōken proposed the system of "Masters" and "Servants". The Einzberns offer to provide the vessels for the Holy Grail, which store the Mana from slain Servants necessary for wishes.

During the scenario of Heaven's Feel, Shirō Emiya, with help from Rin Tōsaka, manages to recreate The Jeweled Sword of Zelretch for use against Dark Sakura. Zelretch himself emerges from a parallel world and compliments Rin's accomplishment, reflecting on the progression of the Tōsaka family in just two centuries.
