This article is a list of fictional characters who primarily appear in the My-Otome anime series and its OVAs—sequel My-Otome Zwei and prequel My-Otome 0: S.ifr. Additionally, this article also covers some characters' information from the My-Otome manga series.

Garderobe Academy

Coral Otome

Arika in the manga

Pearl Otome

She is from the Aries Republic and seems to have some relationship with Aoi, paralleling their relationship from the first series. Chie remains calm and tries to help out whenever she can and balances out Shiho's aggressive behavior when dealing with student discipline. In episode 15 she tells Nao that she met Aoi when she started attending Garderobe. When Nao's gang was about to torture Miya's gang for attempting to rape Arika, Chie and Aoi showed up on the scene in which both Nao and Chie later took in Miya to interrogate. Later on, she said she was out on a date. When Mashiro was feeling depressed due to Takumi's words, Chie suggested to Aoi to bring in Arika to cheer her up which works and pulls both out of their depression. Chie was also aware that Tomoe Marguerite was involved in numerous plots to take out Arika Yumemiya but rather than report Tomoe she orders her to stop it. Despite knowing of the fact that Erstin Ho was injured during another plot, Chie kept silent about it for unknown reasons. At the end, it is revealed that she is Major Chie Hallard, a leader of Aries forces. She has taken it upon herself to infiltrate the ranks of the Schwarz-controlled Valkyrie Otome. She visits the unconscious, seriously injured Aoi in a hospital bed before leaving for her mission as a Valkyrie. In the end, she is reunited with Aoi and arrests Nagi.
In My-Otome Zwei, she's the leader of the Delta Strike Force and donning a robe reminiscent of a magician's tuxedo. She leads the force in dealing with the busjacking situation (which Arika Yumemiya was coincidentally involved with) alongside Pillar no. 1, Sara Gallagher, and Brigadier General Haruka Armitage, with the latter getting petrified by Yuma during the subsequent CHILD attack that ensured at the busjacking site.
In the manga version of My-Otome, Chie's role is far smaller. Without the antagonism of Tomoe or the existence of the Valkyries, both of which were major plot points in which her anime counterpart had a part to play, she becomes mainly a background character. Her importance is further downplayed by the fact that she still uses the standard Pearl Robe whereas her fellow members of the Trias use Meister-level Robes. She is still seen in the "group shot" of the Materialised Otome ready to do battle, though, and is seen briefly "dealing with" Shiho Munakata, offering a "taste of a real oneesama"[3] as the Otome fight with the resurrected HiMEs, to the embarrassment of both Shiho Munakata and Shiho Huit.

Former Columns (My Otome 0)

Windbloom Kingdom

Artai Principality

Sergay behaves in a rather dark and sinister way most of the time – without displaying even the slightest bit of compassion his anime counterpart was known for. He sponsors the fake Mashiro's attendance in Garderobe in order to further his plans. He wants the boy fully under his control and often loses his temper when faced with Mashiro's vigor. Instead of the crush his anime counterpart had on Rena, this Sergay displays antipathy towards her, being unhappy that she is still alive.[5] This Sergay is also older than his anime counterpart, as he is already depicted as a young adult when Rena is retiring from her service to the Windbloom throne,[6] whereas he was only a child in the anime when Rena had already given birth to Arika.

Aries Republic

Aswad

Zipang

Cardair Empire

United Kingdom of Lutesia

Lutesia Romulus

Lutesia Remus

An Nam

Schwartz

Midori reappears when it is time for Manshiro's coronation. In disguise, she, Gal and Dyne enter Windbloom and manage to outsmart Haruka Armitage despite the latter's attempts at finding Schwarz members. When Sergay reveals his villainy and sets Mai Tokiha on Manshiro's entourage, Midori saves Manshiro and his group. Midori comments on the danger Manshiro has put himself into by having two Otome contracted to himself, but per his request, she leads the people of Windbloom out of the country, including Arika who suffered mental trauma. When the girl expresses her desire to return to fight for Manshiro, Midori gives her the REM despite the protests of her lackeys, saying that she wanted to "gamble with herself" and "believe that these children can win".[12] The second Midori is Midori Sugiura revived from the dead, as previously seen in the My-HiME manga. She ambushes an off-guard Shizuru Viola (who is complacently wondering where her own second is) shortly before Midori arrives to assist her former enemy; the leader of Schwarz using Gal's power in place of her REM. Stating that she would not allow the Predecessor statue of Rena Sayers to be destroyed because she was the woman Rad sacrificed his life for,[13] the two women do battle. Eventually, Midori Sugiura is killed by Manshiro's Trinity Lover Strike. Exactly what happens to Midori the leader of Schwarz is unstated, but given the appearance of her smiling visage as shown in the events after the return to peace,[14] it would seem to be a happy ending for her.

In the S.ifr series, we learn that Lena was incredibly powerful even as a student at Garderobe, and is known to have overloaded and shattered her Coral GEMs. As a Meister Otome, she initially wields the Meister GEM Lofty Crimson Jade (which is itself overloaded and destroyed in the events of S.ifr). She later acquires the Super Meister GEM Blue Sky Sapphire from her grandmother, and only this GEM is capable of channeling Lena's abilities without shattering.
Lena is revealed to be a descendant of Alyssa Searrs, and she has a HiME birthmark (though it visually matches that of Alyssa's and not the usual HiME mark). Through this mark, she is able to manifest the powers of the artificial Child, Artemis. Through Artemis, she is also able to employ the Blue Sky Sapphire's Robe without authorization, which then manifests a different form than the usual. In this form, she is able to overpower the simultaneous offense of the Five Pillars of her era.
In the My-Otome manga, Lena Sayers is Arika's mother and the fake Mashiro's adoptive Mother. The fake Mashiro was given to her to keep him safe if/when the real Mashiro, His sister, would try to bring Darkness to the world with her magic powers as foretold. Lena first appears in Chapter 20, residing in the Black Valley; she mistakes Mashiro Blan de Windbloom for Arika. It is revealed that her home village was destroyed mysteriously and she was rescued by Rad.[17] During an attack by Cardair, Nina Wáng recognizes her as the previous user of the Blue Sky Sapphire.[18] In the aftermath of the Cardair invasion of the Black Valley, she is brought to Garderobe for medical treatment, under the care of Juliet Nao Zhang.
Lena pushes Mashiro out of the way of Mai Tokiha's attack, causing herself to become fatally injured.[19] After leaving Mashiro and Arika instructions on dealing with the HiMEs, Lena becomes the new Predecessor and enables the Otome to Materialise again.[20]
Though unable to fly like other Otome, Mikoto the Cat Goddess is able to swing her staff powerfully and is very nimble. Mai states she has never defeated Mikoto in battle, even when materialized. Miyu states that Mikoto is the last person with natural materialization powers and calls her the "Crystal Princess." The Cat Goddess has a HiME mark in the same spot as her My-HiME incarnation.[22] In the Black Valley, Mikoto has a series of cat statues which enable her to observe the world. She also had maintained a shadow version of herself to protect the Harmonium; the shadow form was defeated by Nina Wáng.[22] In one of the DVD Omake chapters, Mikoto the cat is shown to be an Otome. Its "GEM," the ring in its left ear, displays "Cat No. 10" with an "Unknown" contract. It has a Coral GEM and fights in a Coral Robe, and does not appear to require contract confirmation[23] and this cat appears as an Otome in the My-Otome PS2 game.
In the My-Otome manga Mikoto is a being who can switch between human and cat forms at will.[24] She retains her catlike and curious aspects, but she is generally more malevolent. Mikoto, in addition to the ability to transform, is able to summon a Slave that resembles a cat form of the Child Miroku.[25] She also can summon her real Child and is a capable fighter with her claws, on par with a Meister Otome.[26] Mikoto also retains her sword Miroku, which she never fights with, and her HiME symbol is initially shown on her upper left arm.[27] The symbol is moved to her tail when the rest of the HiME are revived.[28]
