-
- Voiced by: Tomoko Kawakami (Japanese), Diana Kou (English)
- Noelle is an energetic angel in training. She shows great affection towards Yuusuke and is determined to become an angel. She often devises ways of taking off on a short runway, the roof of the house, in order to fly which is important on being an angel. She has vowed to marry Yuusuke once she has completed her training to becoming an angel for Yuusuke. At the end of the series, she and Yuusuke show that they love each other very much.

-
- Voiced by: Issei Miyazaki (Japanese), David Lucas (actor) (English)
- Yuusuke is admired by Noelle but does not return her affection initially. He too is overlooked by the girl he has a crush on, Natsumi. He is passive and can do little when Noelle and her monster-like family move into his lonely house. He tries to keep quiet about their residence when he is not in the house and tries to keep things from turning chaotic within the house. At first he didn't agree with being Noelle's husband but in the end, he falls in love with Noelle.

-
- Voiced by: Yukana Nogami (Japanese), Jodi Tannar (English)
- Natsumi is Yuusuke's classmate, whom he has a crush on. She is an athletic diver. She is often spied upon by Yuusuke and his classmates from a small window at the diving complex at their school. She has a serious personality. She has a boyfriend named Kai, who wears glasses, and seems older than she does. Kai was her brother's best friend, and ever since his death, she had substituted Kai as her brother. She has had encounters with an angel, her deceased brother Fuyuki, which is proven later to be Raphael at the very end of the series.

-
- Voiced by: Noriko Hidaka (Japanese), Jessica Stenuis (English)

- Granny (おばあちゃん, Obā-chan?)
-
- Voiced by: Tomoko Naka (Japanese), Hettie Lynne Hurtes (English)

-
- Voiced by: Nobutoshi Hayashi (Japanese), Jonas Ball (English)

- Sara (サーラ, Sāra?)
-
- Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi (Japanese), Rose Bomrungchati (English)
- Sara is Noelle's older sister. She has the power to turn invisible, and spends a lot of her time in this form. Others find it hard to tell when she is there or not, and she also becomes attracted to Yuusuke . Later in the series when she meets Mikael she falls in love with him- but he and Raphael are a couple.
- Lucca (ルカ, Ruka?)
-
- Voiced by: Ikue Ohtani (Japanese), Jennifer Seltzer (English)
- Lucca is Noelle's younger sister, and is an elven-looking creature. She is a mad scientist, and often makes different mechanical devices to help Noelle learn to fly and become an angel. In one of the episodes when she meets up with Eros she gets interested in him because of his speed. When Eros tells her his speed is due to his love for Silky, she thinks it's a silly idea because of her obsession for science.
- Dispel (ディスペル, Disuperu?)
-
- Voiced by: Mitsuo Iwata (Japanese), Hisato Masuyama (English)
- Dispel is the initial antagonist of the series, or so the audience is led to believe. He has several henchmen who he dispatches to thwart Noelle's attempts to become an angel and often treats his slave Silky unkindly. At the end of the first season, it is seen that he was a toy of Silky's. He is destroyed by her, and Silky takes his place as the series' main antagonist.
- Silky (シルキー, Shirukī?)
-
- Voiced by: Hiroko Konishi (Japanese), Jennifer Sekiguchi (English)
- Originally when Dispel appeared to be in control, Silky seemed to be a dominated slave. During the second season it is revealed that she was strong willed and is more scheming and power hungry than Dispel was. Silky's intentions are unclear though she sends her minions to interfere with Noelle's training at every opportunity. At the end of the series, it is revealed that Silky, Mikael, and Noelle grew from three parts of a shattered angel-egg. So they must all become angels together or not at all. Silky does not want to become an angel which is why she is resisting the efforts of Noelle. At the end, Silky is dragged against her will to join the other two and become angels. Noelle persuades her to accept this.
- Miruru (ミルル, Miruru?)
-
- Voiced by: Mayumi Iizuka
- Miruru, a catgirl, originally appears to be one of Dispel's henchmen but is revealed to be Dispel's daughter later in the series. She is in love with Gabriel, but because of his allergy to cats, he initially hates her. After the first season when Dispel is destroyed she becomes free of him and dedicates herself to being the maid of the house and stays with the family.
- Muse (ミューズ, Myūzu?)
-
- Voiced by: Sakura Tange
- Muse is a shapeshifter whose ability is limited to changing into inanimate objects. She is a reluctant henchmen and only obeys orders so that she is not punished. She is never successful on her missions and is punished anyway, however. Noelle and the others never seem to notice that she is around which is partially due to her shapeshifting ability and partly due to her ineptness at interfering. She is madly in love with Eros and will doing anything he orders. She can be a bit of a crybaby at some points.
- Eros (エロス, Erosu?)
-
- Voiced by: Omi Minami
- Eros is a demon-like creature that is a henchmen just as Muse is. He doesn't seem to notice Muse's affection towards him, instead going out of the way to please Silky and win her affection. Along with Muse, he bumps into Ruka in one episode and befriends her.
- Mikael (ミカエル, Mikaeru?)
-
- Voiced by: Akira Ishida (Japanese), Sonny Strait (English)
- Mikael is a puzzling character in the beginning of I'm Gonna Be An Angel. In the beginning of the anime, it is apparent that he shares an intangible relation with Noelle, even to the extent in which he is capable of speaking to her through telepathy. He encourages her to become an angel. He carries the Book of Chaos, in which the text fills a single page for each instance in which Noelle accomplishes an angelic deed. He is very strange in each episode for reason and it seems reason the other side where boys go at it. He seem to be in a romantic relationship with Raphael.
- Raphael (ラファエル, Rafaeru?) /Fuyuki Suzuhara (鈴原 冬雪, Suzuhara Fuyuki?)
-
- Voiced by: Shoutarou Morikubo
- Raphael is an angel whose foremost physical feature is a singular wing. He is a professor at the Angel School with Mikael as his student. He cannot be seen by most of the human world, with Noelle, Mikael, and Natsumi as exceptions and only Mikael can touch him. However, he does influence certain events of the series, in particular rescuing Noelle, Yuusuke, and child Natsumi when he grants Noelle the temporary power of flight as they fall from the clock tower in episode 13. He is benevolent and willing to assist Mikael and Noelle in their quest to become angels, and he has a romantic relationship with Mikael.
