Characters
Although most of the chapters in the original Blue Drop manga are auto-conclusive, the first recurrent character and main protagonist is Yui, an alien/human hybrid introduced as a member of the resistance. Because of her alien heritage, Yui possesses their characteristic blue eyes, the white-colored blood, and their sexual orientation. Other recurrent characters include Misato (美里?), an alien initially introduced as a school nurse but later shown to be working for the military, and Shōko (称子?), a high-school girl that Yui rescues from Misato.
Blue Drop: Tenshi no Bokura's main protagonist is Shōta Yanami (矢波 翔太, Yanami Shōta?), a regular high-school student. At the beginning of the story, Shōta is met by a girl who asks him to have sex with her. Not much time passes until Shōta finds out this girl is actually Kenzō Sugiyama (杉山 健造, Sugiyama Kenzō?), his former-male best friend, who has been transgendered by the aliens and commanded to get pregnant.
The main characters in the Blue Drop: Tenshitachi no Gikyoku anime are Mari Wakatake (若竹 マリ, Wakatake Mari?), voiced by Akiko Yajima (Japanese) and Hilary Haag (English), and Hagino Senkōji (千光寺 萩乃, Senkōji Hagino?), voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese) and Monica Rial (English). After the incident on the island, Mari is taken in by her grandmother, who has her educated by tutors at home. Eventually, knowing that she herself may not have long to live, her grandmother enrolls Mari in Kaihō Academy. Enrolled against her will, she misses her home, and can not hide her distress and anger. Hagino, on the other hand, is calm and collected, an excellent student, and an all-round athlete. Despite being very popular among her classmates, however, she never shows emotion, surrounding herself with an aura of mystery.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“Thus we may define the real as that whose characters are independent of what anybody may think them to be.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“There are characters which are continually creating collisions and nodes for themselves in dramas which nobody is prepared to act with them. Their susceptibilities will clash against objects that remain innocently quiet.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
