London

London is the capital city of the United Kingdom, and home of Harrod's. Unfortunately, it was also the site of the first portal bomb attack, resulting in several score of people dying and more injured. Being the seat of government, it was also the site of research on a second portal device by the elusive Ministry of Magic. The resiliency of the British is put to the test with the portal bomb experience, but survives with honors.
Huang Jennifer

Jennifer is Mountain Pictures Studios human resources director. She is a stickler for detail, particularly where liability and safety are concerned. She is the senior staff member Akane and Shampoo most need to impress during their second demonstration as she is not convinced that Adrian’s desire to have them on board is a good idea.
Declaration of Normal/Crazy

A whimsical internal joke among the Sisterhood of Doom when they (often) realize just how far from normal their lives have drifted. Sometimes spoken in relation to the group, and sometimes directed to an individual, it always serves its purpose in reminding the 'special talent' just how special they are.
Mariko

The most advanced student at the Anything Goes school, and a bright spot for Soun and Genma. She is often called upon to demonstrate techniques with either of the teachers or with another well-advanced student named Kyo. She is advanced enough with the techniques that it seemed she picked up on more than most of the populace during the Great Twitch.
Chino Daiichi

Mr. Chino is an inspector for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. He came in on a serial murder case in which Uthryyl apprehended the perpetrator simply by being in the right place at the right time. While initially shocked both at the way the local district precinct allowed civilians to be involved as well as who - or what - those civilians were, he came to acceptance quickly when the district police simply stepped back and allowed him full jurisdiction over the case.
Intelligence Gathering

Always a strength of Nabiki’s, she takes Intelligence Gathering up to eleven with the addition of Jun to her experience. She was good at it at Furinkan High, it pays off when she finds Ranma, and she tweaks her future plans to become an forensic accountant after discussing it with her academic advisor. The Nabiki-Jun team uncover the location of the Los Angeles portal bomb (and the one in New York by extension), locate the online sale of the final portal bomb, trace the complex web of Anthony Murray's network, and uncover the true identities of the Calibank heist perpetrators.

In addition, the remaining members of the Sisterhood have impressive skills in this area, often supplementing law enforcement investigations with their insights. With the addition of Ami to the group, it will be interesting to see how she and her SI complement Nabiki and Jun’s joint abilities.
Ito Azumi

Azumi is Nabiki's magical girl persona, which was developed after Ms. Aoyama became the Harbinger of Doom that she is. Azumi has a much more 'normal' appearance with the exception of her hair and eyes, which are a bit odd for normal people, but no so much for a magical girl. Azumi's normal area of operation is in the Setagaya area centering on the university Nabiki attends. Azumi got her start with petty criminals and was plunged into the deep end of the lifestyle with the Halleckton Event. Azumi is the least experienced and the weakest member of the Sisterhood of Doom, however she is still well above the capabilities of most normal people.

Azumi is publicly known to be a shapeshifter in some worlds after publicly using her mermaid form on Fwetna.

Asumi has an account with the K'nn Interworld Financial Exchange, which was opened on her behalf by Uthryyl when they entered into a business agreement. She also has a class one unlimited export licence (usable on Fwetna at least), despite coming from an "unaligned" world.
Identity Masking/Cloaking

This is a stock spell that the otherworldly visitors use to appear human. It keeps down on the negative reactions that could otherwise result. Cologne notices the rampant use of this spell on her visit to Minato to investigate the three large magical disruptions cause by adding Ami, Hotaru, and Rei to the Ward System.
Desperately Seeking Ranma Chapter Ninety-Seven

Chiyoko and the Sisterhood of Doom return from eliminating the small demons.

Two pilots spot what looks like a giant demonic duck flying above Nerima.

The party quickly moves back through the portal to the Fwetnan waterfall, sans Kimiko.

The demonic duck lands at the Tendo Compound; battle ensues.

The demonic duck makes an escape - with Kimiko in its claws.

On Fwetna, Miki, John, Akane, and Shampoo fret over Nabiki and Kimiko.

Azumi and the soarers engage the demonic duck in aerial combat to rescue Kimiko,

Azumi learns a new application of ki through her wings, and possibly a new vocabulary from Kimiko.

Ami stands in as Nabiki while Azumi is present.

The Sano sisters finally get to meet Azumi.

Nermians are informed that the commotion was the result of a small meteor exploding overhead.

The party wraps up; Kimiko thanks Nabiki.

The pathology report comes in regarding the deaths of the three Calibank inmates, hinting at nothing good.
Mallet

Akane’s mallet is the final straw that sends Ranma and Kasumi away from the Tendo Dojo. The mallet does not play a large role in the storyline; the cause and cure of Akane’s rage becomes the focus. The mallet only appears the night Ranma and Kasumi leave, and the night she attacks Ryoga in Minato. After that, the focus shifts and the mallet disappears.

diamond figurine

discussion about the moon trip

Maedan Aiko

Aiko is the de-facto leader of a group of four magical girls. She and her group stumbled into the chaotic magical girl lifestyle during an unplanned detour into the bowels of a museum on a school trip. Her equipment includes a bracelet that masks her identity, a cylinder that dissolves the remains of defeated opponents, stylized hand-scythes, a teleportation choker, unusual strength, and the inherent knowledge to use her abilities in time of need.
Artefacts

Artefacts are items that contain or focus magical power. Generally in a trinket form such as jewelry or small rods or balls, the artefact allows the user to engage a predefined power or spell for a specific purpose. Each of the magical girls usually has an artefact used as her primary weapon or supporting magical function. They can take any form and be used for nearly any purpose.
Hino (Ojiisan)

Rei's priestly grandfather dispenses useful timely advice to her that enables her to break free of the influence of the Abomination. He is very open-minded and has allowed Yori, the Senshi, and some otherworldly visitors to use the shrine rooms to overcome the threat they are facing. He also is a supportive person, offering a listening ear to whomever may need it.
Ki Tag

Ki Tag is a favorite diversion of the Sisterhood of Doom, having started as a training exercise where Ranma turned out the lights in a windowless basement and began shooting Ki Balls at the girls with the intent of them avoiding them. The training exercise grew into a regular diversion and has a number of variations depending on location and form of the participants.

Ami attempts to scan Nabiki but the ward system prevents it
Beam Saber

A ki construct used by Yori and Chou for practice and combat. The Saber is similar to a sword, but made entirely of life energy. No hilt or guard is needed as the Saber is essentially an extension of the wielder’s arm. It has been used several times as demonstration or practice, but as yet not used in combat in-story. A sub-form of the Ki Beam, listed under a separate entry.
Los Angeles

A city on the west coast of the United States, and the home of Lieutenant Harrison. Los Angeles was a target of one of the portal bombs over the New year season, prompting a large investigation by the Sisterhood of Doom. The city is also host to another major story arc involving Akane and Shampoo and their new careers as Hollywood stunt women.
Martial Arts

One of the basic elements of the original series was the pervasiveness of martial arts. It seemed everyone Ranma encountered was proficient in some form of martial art. This carries into the main storyline. Indeed, Ranma and Kasumi both consider themselves martial artists; Ranma emphatically rejecting the magical girl moniker. Like the original, the martial arts are pervasive and form the backbone of who and what Ranma and Kasumi have become.
Kuno Tatewaki

Kuno also remains obsessed with his pigtailed goddess. Nabiki used this early on after Ranma's departure to help finance her own search for the two missing Nerimans. Like his sister, he occasionally puts in an appearance, however unwelcome, at the Tendo dojo in search of the red head of his dreams. He is put in his place when he hits on Maiko and Rika and is flatly refused.
Chikuda Shunma

Mr. Chikuda is the Director-General of the Japanese PSIA and the direct supervisor of Masao Naito. He is 'in the loop' on the existence of magical girls and the 'extremely out-of-town' visitors in Minato, however he does not have the strong relationship with them like Agent Naito. In addition to his usual duties, Mr. Chikuda is working with Yori's group and Agent Naito on interworld relationships and trade.
Ki Beam

The Ki Beam is a manifestation of life energy, generally used in a cutting fashion. It first manifested in the Aftermath sequence when Ranma rescued Kasumi from Akane’s deadly fury. The Ki Beam manifestation is also what exposed Ranma to Nabiki’s inquiry, enabling her to finally find him after four year.  The Beam is generated in the hand and is frequently an extension of the user’s arm. The Beam Saber is a variation of this ability. Nabiki has modified this ability to intimidating effect by slowly dissolving a coffee mug during an interrogation, and also to cut open bold locks in panic room in Halleckton. This ability is one of the two distinctive Ki hallmarks of the Sisterhood of Doom.
Hibiki Ryoga

Ryoga continues to be cursed, both as P-Chan and as an eternally lost wanderer. Sometime after Ranma and Kasumi depart, Akane finally discovers the link between Ryoga and P-Chan and nearly beats him to death. Ryoga turns up when Akane and Shampoo are in Minato, resulting in some neighborhood remodeling. Ryoga is honored to be the first person to enjoy a visit from Ms. Aoyama resulting in his banishment forever from Tokyo.

Breaking Point

The Breaking Point technique, also known by its original name Bakusai Tenketsu, allows the user to destroy non-animate objects with just a touch by finding the breaking point of the object – hence the name. Cologne teaches the technique to Akane and Shampoo once Akane overcomes her parasite issues, and it comes in useful in their initial audition for Mountain Pictures Studios.

Davenport Robert

Minister Davenport is the head of the Ministry of Magic and had developed an unhealthy interest in portal bombs. His initial work was destroyed by Yori immediately following the Harrods event. It is later discovered that he attempted to purchase the last known portal bomb from Geoffrey Young in Australia. Upon this discovery, he receives a visit from Ms. Aoyama who then turns him over to the authorities for correction.
Battery

Many artefacts and spells require magical power to operate. To that end many worlds have developed batteries to store magical power. Many of these batteries take the form of clear, colorless crystal-like balls. Once energized, the ball will glow with the color of the magical power with which it is infused. The portal bombs ran on magical batteries that glowed green, and Aiko’s teleportation necklace contains a battery to power the spell within it. We learn that batteries have about a ten-year life expectancy as a result of the Calibank heist.

Principal of the St. Winifred School for Girls. She received a late evening call over the holidays that introduced her to some very unique people and possibly the strangest story she'll ever encounter. Principal Coren has the honorable distinction of being one of the few people who have successfully admonished Yori.
Healing

Of all their abilities, the ability to heal is the one Ranma and Kasumi are most proud of. Their medical training combined with their martial and magical abilities produce an amazing power to heal injury and in some cases reverse degenerative disease. Their regenerative abilities affect the patient on a genetic level, allowing the body to regrow lost tissue and bone. Their compassion and forgiving natures mean that even an enemy that was intent on killing them may receive a gift of healing after the battle.

The healing ability has frequently come in useful. Some of the more notable times were Akane's parasites, the victims at Harrods, and restoring Haruka's arm after her meltdown. The healing ability also played a significant role in identifying the Abomination's influence on the Sailor Senshi and its tampering with Ami's computer.

Kw'lyn Industries

The Kw'lyn Industries reality is kept behind strict security and only approved persons may advance completely into the reality. The world is a collection of worlds within a Dyson Sphere that was created by remnants of the civilization(s) from the reality initially destroyed by the Abomination. Kw'lyn Industries produces the magitech behind the synthetic intelligences used by the Sisterhood of Doom and had a mission to destroy the time device their predecessor-civilization had created. They are insatiably curious, but also take data security extremely seriously and while known throughout the multiverse as an entity, very few individuals have the privilege of having direct contact with them.

Ki Blast/Ball

The Ki Blast is one of two of the signature Ki abilities of the Sisterhood of Doom. Usually manifested in ball form, it can be shot across distances to harass or neutralize a target. It is a power of choice for each of the members of the Sisterhood of Doom given its versatility and effectiveness. A Ki Blast turned up to a high power level will result in the Duck Pond Option. The Ki Blasts also provide some well-deserved diversion in the form of a good game of Ki Tag.
Ki Compression

A phenomenon discovered by Nabiki, Ki Compression increases the effectiveness of a Ki Blast exponentially. Compression results in a higher concentration of the same power. Nabiki discovered the intricate structure of her own Ki energy by studying the ball of energy early on in her training. Asking Ranma about the effects of compression, he tried it and found the powerful results it produces.
Bouchard Paul

Mr. Bouchard was the Calibank Branch Manager at the branch visited by Adrian, Akane, and Shampoo during an unfortunate encounter with armed men. It appears that Mr. Bouchard has some answering to do relative to the knowledge these armed men seemed to have of the bank and its security protocols not to mention a rather unusual financial transaction that improved the balance on his own account.
Don't Call Me Nabs

Nabiki's retort to Ranma's jabs at her by calling her Nabs is "Don't call me Nabs," It becomes a running joke even within the group, as several others have individually and collectively taken up Nabiki's cause against him. She has even allowed the offense to accumulate at least once, finally retorting "Don't call me Nabs. Twice." The gag line has even spanned chapter breaks.
Kino Makoto

Makoto is one of the nine Senshi and affected by the Abomination. She is only mildly affected, with Ami stating at one point that Makoto might even be open to hearing the truth of the matter. Being influenced to violence, Makoto takes her frustrations out on the criminal element of Azuba-Juuban after a sobering encounter with Yori, Chou, and Azumi. She finally needs further toning down, which is handled through a proposed duel with Chou on the barren world. Realizing she is out of her league, Makoto makes a hasty retreat.

Daniel is a fanboy of action films was a pesky nuisance at the Manns Theater when Yori confronted the thieving gang members. He turned up again when the Sisterhood of Doom was in Australia. Most recently, Daniel was repeatedly caught trespassing at Mountain Picture Studios main lot in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the mysterious new movie. In an attempt at sating his curiosity, he and his mother were invited to the stunt trial for Akane and Shampoo at the desert movie lot.
Camera Drones

A magitech device available on the other worlds, Nabiki picked up a set on Fwetna during her first otherworldly vacation. The cameras are capable of antigrav navigation, stealth, autopilot, and of course camera capabilities. They are used in conjunction with the SI units to monitor and patrol and assist in intelligence gathering.

Balancing

Important for martial arts specifically and combat generally, balance keeps the practitioner focused on the task at hand. Balance training among the Sisterhood of Doom consists of several stages, of which Stage Four is the most infamous. Several protagonists shudder or pale when recalling their experiences during Stage Four. Balance also comes into focus when at great heights: while most magical girls would simply bounce regardless of the height, proper balance enables dignity, stealth, and utility during various operations.

Mr. Ishikawa is an elderly resident of the Minato area. He recently lost his poodle to the wild antics of those menacing magical girls and cannot figure out why law enforcement will not act to stop the madness, or at least arrest Chiyoko. Fortunately for him, he soon found a new pet, named him Kin after the color of its eyes and has enjoyed a wide berth as he walks his new found companion down the streets and through the park.
Honor

Honor played a large role in Ranma’s problems in the original series, and it is the driving force in his decision to finally leave the Tendo Dojo. It continues to be a major contributor in his decision making in the story, and his strong sense of honor has positively affected those around him. His colleagues all share this sense of honor, and it goes a long way in community relations between the magical girls and law enforcement.
O'Connor Kevin

Dr. Kevin O'Connor is a London trauma doctor who responded to the Harrods incident. He suffered from a mild medical megalomania and did not appreciate non-doctors treating the victims as a result.

Magical Girl

Magical Girls are empowered by various means with fantastic powers that both assist and complicate their lives, but manage to persevere despite this. The girls usually have an unusual experience early in life which gives them a power-up. The powers usually are targeted toward a particular menace or problem. It becomes the magical girl's duty to eradicate or overcome said problem.

In this multiverse, the magical girl phenomenon is almost exclusively limited to Minato, and some of the traditional Japanese limitations on maho shojo are not present, including an in-story inference that magic ability is for life. This works better with the storyline, although Ranma, Kasumi, and Nabiki derive their powers primarily from the martial arts rather than the magical ones. Other magical girls seem to possess their powers into their adult lives as well.
Ellesmere Island

Ellesmere Island features prominently in the aftermath of the Great Twitch. The Sisterhood of Doom discovers, through the Ward records, that a great source of magical power is stored beneath the ice in the far north of Canada. After visiting the site and discovering a Stonehenge-like site, two professors at the University of Manitoba receive a few beneficial surprises to encourage them to research it further.
Mullins Bruce

Mr. Mullins was one of the armed backup men of the extraction team sent to rescue the heist team at Calibank. Presenting himself as counterintelligence, he is actually a former United States Army Sergeant presumed dead as a result of suicide following a dishonorable discharge. He escaped LAPD custody with the help of a prefabricated teleportation spell.
Business Card Security

Yori and Chou each have a set of business cards that key to the person they are given to. Only that person can see the information on the card; it appears blank to everyone else. If the numbers are read aloud anyone within hearing range hears a jumble and quickly forgets the incident. Yori is very selective on who gets one of her cards.

Kyo (Arcade)

Kyo is a teen who had a rather unfortunate outlook on girls and their abilities with arcade games. He was annoying enough to distract Miki from her game, then declared to his friend Chiasa that he could beat any girl at any game in the arcade. Nabiki took him up on it and gave him an attitude adjustment.
Jefferson Wilson

Mr. Jefferson is the regional manager for Calibank and was privy to certain critical information relative to the robbery operation against one of his branch offices. After he decided to be forthcoming with information, the pieces began to fall into place for the FBI and LAPD. It seems neither have a soft spot for the CIA ...
Kw'Lyn Industries Probe

These sentient probes provide many services to the Kw’Lyn culture, including security, messaging, scanning, and information gathering. The first encounter occurs when Yori’s portal to Kw’Lyn in blocked and a security probe comes forth to greet them. Other encounters include the probe sent into the partial reality of the Abomination, and the several encountered after that confrontation. The probes all recognize Yori and group and share the gratitude of the Kw’Lyn leadership for what they have done for the culture.
Tendo Nabiki

Tendo Akane (sister),

Saotome Ranma (brother-in-law)

Nabiki is the middle Tendo sister and had a reputation throughout her school years as being quite mercenary and cold. She is good with information and making connections as well as using that information to gain her objectives. After Ranma and Kasumi departed from Nerima, it was Nabiki who maintained a search for them. In evidence of her maturing over the intervening years, she keeps her discoveries a secret and is able to reestablish her relationships with both her sister and Ranma.

Much of the early story follows Nabiki's further development and change as she is slowly assimilated into the chaos of a magical girl lifestyle.

## Alternate Identities

As a member of the Sisterhood of Doom, she has several alternate forms that have been given her to aid in her new-found vocation. Nabiki has two primary alternate personae - **Reiko Aoyama** and **Azumi Ito** - both of which play such a significant role in the story that they have their own entries. She also has mermaid and winged forms based on her own appearance and that of Azumi.

## Equipment

* Kw'lyn Industries Mark Nine Secure Communications and Sensory System, which Nabiki has named **Jun**. The SI has achieved "conversational rating" 9.1, indicating it has achieved true sentience.
* A Disguise Bracelet which is used only rarely since Nabiki acquired her alternate forms.
* 5 camera drones
* 2 forcefield space suit bracelets
* K'nn image projector
Tendo Kasumi

Tendo Nabiki (sister),

Tendo Akane (sister),

Saotome Genma (father-in-law),

Saotome Nodoka (mother-in-law)

The gentle, serene, homemaking Kasumi has overcome the meaning of her name and has become a force to be reckoned with. Having escaped the confines and chaos of her home in Nerima, she has partnered with Ranma in school, society, and life. Kasumi has truly come into her own and has fully embraced the new life she has chosen with Ranma.

## Alternate Identities

Like Ranma, she has developed a number of alternate personae to maintain her incognito lifestyle and keep the Neriman chaos at bay. Some Kasumi-based alternates include:

* **Chou**: Yori's partner in the community and life companion. Also has mermaid and soarer forms based on Chou's appearance.
* **Morita Akiko**: The first alternate persona (chronologically) of the multiverse, and the persona used during the transitional period immediately after she and Ranma left the Tendo household. Akiko is the cousin of Shiro and Sumiko.
* **Nygaard Rika**: Rika is Kasumi's alternate persona in the university setting as well as normal social outings in Minato.

Kasumi has occasionally taken other forms, however with the exception of her impersonation of Nabiki, none are named.

## Equipment

Like other members of the Sisterhood of Doom, Kasumi comes into a relationship with a synthetic intelligence (SI) unit from Kw'lyn Industries. While it is assumed all the units have been named, we know that Kasumi has named her SI '**Nao**'
Tendo Compound

The Tendo compound consists of the family home, the training hall, and the associated grounds within the surrounding walls. It is built in the traditional Japanese style and is the ancestral home of the Tendo family. It was the home for Ranma for about two years and his parents continue to reside there. Recently, the training hall was reopened as a martial arts school and it seems to remain the central meeting place for the characters of the original story.
Laine Martta

Martta is an academic archaeologist at the University of Manitoba who helped Jerry Benton verify some mysterious archaeologic information he received regarding Ellesmere Island. That help came from her cousin Pauli who was unfortunately rewarded with a tongue-lashing from his superiors for his efforts. Once a mysterious grant was approved, Jerry asked her to be on the team to investigate. In addition to the two professors, the team consists of six post-graduate students.
Uthryyl

Uthryyl is a D'sage inter-world trader and owns Sirtha External Trading, Inc., which deals in any number of goods and trades them across multiple worlds via portal. He frequently visits Minato to export coffee and chocolate, which are rarities in other worlds. He is recognized as a Master Merchant on Fwetna, a position of esteem based on other D'sage's interactions.

Uthryyl also apprehended a serial murder suspect and provided Yori and her crew with Kw'lyn Industries synthetic intelligence (SI) units. He is an inter-world contact that Yori can call on to solve mysteries in her home world, particularly where commerce involving magic is concerned.

Sano Miki

Nabiki's friend at Nihon University and magical girl fangirl. Desperately wants to meet Azumi since she is the local magical girl in Setagaya, where the university is located. She is dating John Michel, and the couple and Nabiki socialize frequently.

She may be subconsciously putting facts together concerning Nabiki and Azumi, but the fangirl part of her gets in the way of a conscious effort. She has witnessed Nabiki thwart a mugging in Setagaya (chalked up to Nabiki being from a family of martial artists), extreme skill against Kyo on the arcade game, more extreme skill at paintball, Nabiki's reflexes at the motorcycle accident, and more. Between her and John, is seems likely the secret will come undone, especially given that her sister Kimiko figured it out with just the motorcycle accident.

Miki and her sisters went to the magical girl party at the Tendo house and were able to meet six magical girls. She was disappointed that Azumi was not attending, but got to meet her anyway when Azumi rescued Kimiko from the Demonic Duck. After the party, she was thrilled by Nabiki presenting her and her sister Hana with a Yori doll and a Chou doll, both undistributed and rare.
Monica

Monica is a security mage who assisted Ranma and Kasumi in their transitional period after leaving the Tendo house. Monica set them up with the cloaking spell that they eventually modified to take on their various personae and forms. She also provided them with an anti-scrying spell to fend off attempts by Cologne to track Ranma down and bring him back to the Neriman craziness.
Saotome Nodoka

Ranma's mother has taken up the role of matriarch in the Tendo household, despite it not being hers or her family's. She is a calming and restraining influence on both her husband and Soun, and an encouragement to Akane when she can be. She deeply misses her son, but recognized her role in pushing him away. Always hospitable, she has entertained Yori and Chou on occasion and helps Ukyo and Konatsu with their wedding plans.
Negotiation

Negotiation is a basic business skill at which Nabiki and Uthryyl excel. This was brought into focus when Nabiki first met Ranma (in-story), and more so during her first trip to Fwetna. Even Uthryyl admitted he had met his match in negotiation. The skill has proven useful in subsequent events and will likely come up again as the alternative energy storyline progresses.
Soarer Form

Like the mermaid form, the soarer form is used to provide rest and relaxation to the protagonists. The form is based on the mountain soarers on Fwetna and is overlaid on an existing persona using the illusion spell. Several flying tricks and aerial Ki Tag have been known to occur, although the form has also been used for practical purposes such as SOS response and delivery of a small boy to his mother in thick fog.

## Physical Characteristics

* Cervical flexibility: extra vertebra and other changes in the neck allow the form to look directly behind or above without problems
* Telescopic vision: like a hawk, this form allows one to focus their vision in such a way that they "zoom in" on distant objects as well as normal vision
* High speed flight: bone structure, aerodynamics, improved oxygen processing, and other physiological adjustments allow this form to dive at speeds up to 350 kph and can move at more than 150 kph in level flight.
Portal Bockade

The portal blockade is unique to Kw’Lyn Industries and prevents unwanted intrusion to their reality. The blockade prevents normal portal use until the portal travelers are screened and approved by a Kw’Lynn Industries Probe. The blockade gives way to an interim location where the security spell is applied prior to proceeding to Kw’Lynn proper.

Sano Hana

Oldest of the Sano daughters, and an off-the-scale magical girl fan. She collects anything even remotely related to magical girls and even dabbles in fan fiction centering on the more prominent ones. Her magical girl obsession causes episodes making her seem much less than her 26 years. She is ecstatic at the prospect of a party at the Tendo compound to which six magical girls are invited, including the legendary Yori and Chou. She is further thrilled after the party when Nabiki presents her with her choice of a never-released Yori doll or Chou doll (with her sister getting the other one).
Tomoe Hotaru

The youngest of the nine Senshi, Hotaru was somewhat affected by the Abomination and its plans for the future. Yori finds that Hotaru is extremely powerful and has enormous aptitude as a magical girl. As such she takes Hotaru under her wing once she is freed from the Abomination's influence. Hotaru willingly accepts the offer, and is instrumental in her use of the Silence Glaive in bringing about the destruction of the Abomination. She has expressed hope in becoming a magical healer like Yori and Chou.
Teno Haruka

Haruka is a Senshi and moderately affected by the Abomination. She, like the others, was influenced to violent acts in an apparent attempt by the Abomination to bring about its desired future. After an incident where she faced off with Yori and lost her arm, she was brought around to see the truth of the matter. While she would not commit to help destroy the Abomination, she promised Yori that there would be no more violence on her part and she stepped out of the way to allow the Sisterhood of Doom to work. While the influence may have destroyed her relationship with Michiru, she continues to support Hotaru, including Hotaru's desire to continue working with Yori and Chou.
Zthrel

A city on Xrist's home world where Lieutenant Wilson ended up after his assault. He was later joined by Sergeant Harada after he used an emergency portal generator to escape what seemed to be the certain end of Earth. Zthrel also has an airport, much to Lieutenant Wilson's delight (and the dismay of Brenke and Harada), where he met Vrede and had the flying experience of a lifetime.
Misaki Snacks

Misaki's insatiable appetite is noted early on. It seems whenever there is a discussion or strategy session, Misaki can be seen eating a bar or an apple. This has diminished over time as she becomes more talkative. The habit exasperates her sister who frequently admonishes her. Misaki has been known to respond to the admonishment by offering another item of whatever it is she is eating. As time passes, the 'admonishment' morphs into a held out palm, which Misaki cheerfully fills.
