[edit] Main Characters

• Ishtar - The young and impatient princess of St. Pheliosta. She is very quick-tempered, and can't understand the idea of tradition. She often feels as if her kingdom only loves her because she has the blood of St. Phelios, which leads her to have a slight hatred for her ancestry. Despite being a princess, she tries to live her life a normal girl, but can't help getting herself and those around her into trouble. She is also deeply in love with her personal bodyguard, Darres.

• Duzell - The dreaded Vampire King. Bored with his immortality, he forced his minions to attack the human race in an all out war. After losing the battle against the white knight Phelios, he is killed, but swears revenge on Phelios' bloodline. Now, reincarnated as a helpless housecat, Duzell searches for the reincarnation of Phelios. As a former vampire, he was quite malicious and selfish. However, after he meets Ishtar, his personality softens and through several adventures, he learns what love truly is.

Duzell has shapeshifting ability, which allows him to go almost undetected in Pheliosta, although his cover is almost blown a few times. He can still do magic, even as a kyawl (a tigerlike creature). At first he can only look like a cat, but after sampling Ishtar's blood, he can turn into an exact duplicate -- except he's still male. Later on, his power grows to the point where he can regain his true form.

At the end of the series, Duzell has fallen in love with Ishtar. But she is in love with Darres, and so Duzell keeps his feelings to himself. He uses the self-destructive "La Gamme" spell to save both of them, and is later reborn again as one of twin boys born to Darres and Ishtar (and is given his name a third time, Duzell).

• Darres - Ishtar's personal protector. He was an orphan, raised by the knight Selen specifically to protect Ishtar, whom she looked on like a daughter. Toddler Ishtar started annoying him immediately when she threw soup in his face, but when undead creatures broke in, Darres saved her life.

Now, at twenty-seven, Darres is a master swordsman, but quite dense and oblivious at times, and Ishtar thinks he is an "idiot" for caring so much about everyone he knows. While he accompanies Ishtar on all her journies, he also has to chase after her whenever she goes off on a hair-brained quest of her own.

It takes Darres a long time to realize how much Ishtar loves him, since he originally thought of her as a shallow wiseass. Still, he would do anything for Ishtar, even give his life. At the end of the series, Darres marries Ishtar and they have twin baby boys.

• Yuujin - Ishtar's magic teacher. Unknown to St. Pheliosta, Yuujin is actually Ishtar's cousin, Yuujel. He's had affairs with half of Zi Alda, men and women, and most of his former lovers are hunting for them to bring him back (none of them seem to know that he's been around). However, Yuujin seems to be happy where he is.

The kingdom finds him very mysterious, and Jill and Krai in particular believe Yuujin and Darres are having an affair. Yuujin actually does care for Darres, however. He is a powerful wizard, and like Darres, is often looking out for Ishtar. He seems to be in love with Ishtar, but keeps his feelings secret because he knows she loves Darres.

• Vord - The youngest son of Queen Ramia, and prince of La Naan. Self-centered and conceited, the moment Vord spots Ishtar, he knows he must have her. However, the Ishtar he falls in love with is actually Duzell in disguise. He and Queen Ramia set up an elaborate scheme to marry into the family of Pheliosta, but it blows up in their face when it is revealed that Vord is not actually Ramia's son. He later follows Ishtar back to St. Pheliosta to keep a watch over her, and then falls for Ishtar's cousin, Falan.

Vord is a master swordsman, extremely tall and tanned, and confident that he is the best. He shares Ishtar's tendency to say the wrong thing. But he is cleverer than he appears, since he almost managed to figure out Duzell's double identity, but was interrupted before he came to a conclusion. According to Falan, he can burp opera arias.

• Keld - Ishtar's royal advisor. Though he is actually very wise and caring, Ishtar thinks he is false and only cares for her because of her birthright. He is always attempting to discipline Ishtar, but nothing ever works on her. He is also hard of hearing, which enables Ishtar to toy with him.

• Jill - One of Ishtar's knights. He is slightly timid, and is always taken aback by Krai's antics. He is the brains of the duo, and has an innocent charm about him that attracts women. However, there has been some confusion on his sexual orientation. At one point, he tells Krai that he "doesn't date princes anymore," then later gets a valentine from a girl he likes.

• Krai - One of Ishtar's knights. He is somewhat of a bumbling fool, and is always getting himself into trouble. He's not very bright, and constantly thinks of women. During one mission, instead of searching for Ishtar, he heads over to a brothel. However, his straight-forward attitude doesn't get him much luck with the ladies.

[edit] The Royal House of La Naan

• Laphiji - The second oldest son of Queen Ramia, and prince of La Naan. Unlike his brothers, he is very quiet and doesn't often express his feelings. He is also a very powerful magician, holding his own in a battle against Sharlen. He has a very deep relationship with Seiliez, and feels the need to protect him. Laphiji is not Ramia's real son, and was adopted by a tribe which gave him the tattoo on his forehead.

• Seiliez - The oldest son of Queen Ramia, and prince of La Naan. He is a sweet individual, but very frail, and the black sheep of the family. His feminine appearance enables him to dress as a woman and visit Murra, his birth mother who is a prostitute. He falls in love with Ishtar after she shows him kindness, and enters the competition for her hand in marriage. After losing, he desperately seeks help from Sharlen, who bites him and gives him incredible strength, but in turn becomes his slave.

• Ramia - The Queen of La Naan and Ishtar's aunt. She is fully intent on getting one of her sons onto the throne of St. Pheliosta, though none of her sons are actually hers. She couldn't have any children of her own, so she adopted Laphiji and Vord, but despised Seiliez due to his mother being her husband's mistress.

[edit] The Kingdom of Ci Xeneth

• Jened - The Lord of Ci Xeneth and Ishtar's uncle. Unlike Queen Ramia and Queen Sonia, he is a psychopathic monster, and like Rania he wants to rule Pheliosta. He is obsessed with ruelles, and regularly sends his knights out to hunt down and bring back monsters to turn into these magical items, including swords and rings.

Jened's advisor is Diaage, who is really Sharlen. When Jened realizes that his most trusted advisor is a vampire, he decides that he can use this to his advantage, and Sharlen seduces him. Then Ishtar sets his zoo of monsters free, and Jened attemps to capture the Lord of the Sea. His plans backfired when his children Illsaide and Falan rebel against him. He escapes and as he's calling for Illsaide to be put to death, his royal knight Gorgen stabs him to death.

• Illsaide - A member of the Ci Xeneth army, and Jened's favorite warrior. Very few people know that he was the result of a monster-human mating, when Jened ravished a monster princess and had the child raised to be the ultimate warrior. As a result of his ancestry, he has powerful magic powers and can wield a holy sword.

He later becomes engaged to Duzell after mistaking him for a woman, and has his identity revealed by Sharlen. After discovering he is the hybrid spawn of Jened and a monster princess -- and in love with his own half-sister -- Illsaide agrees to stay away from Falan, even though he still loves her. He leaves Ci Xeneth and joins Lassen's dark army.

• Falan - Princess of Ci Xeneth. She is Ishtar's best friend and they can talk to each other about anything. She is the first to notice her father's strange actions, and goes to Ishtar about them. She fell in love with Illsaide, but was shocked to find out he was her own half-brother, so the two decided to simply live as brother and sister. She is later cursed by Lassen and put to sleep, but eventually awakens and falls in love with Vord.

• Gorgen - Lord Jened's personal general. He is tough and strict, and often turns his head when Jened is up to his mischievousness. However, after the battle against the King of Merarim's army, Gorgen realizes his wrong doings and murders Jened and then commits suicide.

• Roy - A young boy in the Ci Xeneth army. Friendly but naive, Roy is not very skilled in battle, which leads him to being fatally wounded by a monster. However, Sharlen healed him in exchange for becoming his slave.

[edit] The Kingdom of Zi Alda

• Leene - A selfish woman who gets upset when she finds out the love of her life, Yuujel, is planning on marrying Ishtar. She works together with Sharlen, who disguises himself as a female Diaage, and sets up an elaborate plan to kill Ishtar. However, overcome with guilt, Leene abandons her scheme at the last minute and comes to the realization that her husband, Ashley, truly does love her.

• Ashley - General of the Zi Alda army. Quiet and passive, Ashley rarely speaks but accomplishes any task he sets his mind to. Ever since a child, he has been in love with Leene, but he knew she loved Yuujel. Eventually, she agreed to marry him, and he promised to make her happy. He's also a very good friend of Yuujel's.

• Lucy - An old friend of Yuujin's and advisor to Ashley. She is a strong, wise woman who appears early on in the manga. She is very suspicious of Leene's actions, and is probably the first to realize something is going to happen. She vows to protect Ishtar at all cost.

• Sonia - The sickly ruler of Zi Alda and Yuujel's mother. She is probably Ishtar's favorite aunt. She is very kind and gentle, but in her old age, is ready to pass on. Duzell eventually confronts her, stating that Ishtar and others still need her around and for her not to give up on life.

[edit] The Villains of Mil Seii

• Lassen - The Lord of Mil Seii. A devious young man, he plans on ruling St. Pheliosta one way or another. He is the main villain of the story, and sets up various plans and plots to kill Ishtar and take over the throne. Though he doesn't care much for vampires, he is always hanging around them, and is possibly in love with Lailis. He also wants to get rid of Duzell, as he knows he has been reincarnated.

• Sharlen - The self-appointed new Vampire King. He is a manipulative, seductive vampire with a mysterious way about himself. He first appears as Vord's fortune-teller, but later bites several people and his presence becomes known to the heroes. He is the first one to realize Duzell had been reincarnated, and doesn't feel threatened by him. He has many vampires that support him and often tempts Lailis into becoming a vampire again.

• Lailis - Lassen's lover and the reincarnation of Duzell's former general, Rishas. Though formerly a male, she has been reincarnated as a woman. She desperately loves Duzell and wants to return to how things were. But, when she realizes Duzell has softened, she plans on killing him alongside Lassen. As Lailis, she is very weak and fragile.

• Hume - A pompous knight working for Lassen. He is very cheerful, but also very skilled in battle. While he doesn't like vampires, he is thought to be undead himself. This is not true. He is a knight of Lodoc, an army forced to subit to compleat loyalty to the queen of Lodoc in exchange for superhuman ability on the battlefield. He is always at Lassen's side, but occasionally works with Sharlen. It is later revealed that he is in love with Illsaide.

[edit] Other Characters

• "'Lilke'" - A delicate-looking creature, like a mermaid with wings. The lilke is not fragile, however, since she almost mortally wounds a knight when the knights captured her. Jened intented to turn her into a valuable ruelle, but Ishtar set all the monsters free. The lilke is pregnant, which makes Ishtar urge her to leave.

• "'The Lord of the Sea'" - A godlike sea monster, who appears as a giant Poseiden-like man with aquatic details. He can also appear as a frail old man, and Ishtar and Duzell rescue him from highway bandits, at risk to themselves. He is deeply grateful for this, and thinks they are better than most humans. He comes to Ci Xeneth to find his daughter, a beautiful red-haired girl who was kidnapped by Jened. It turns out she is dead, but before she died she was raped by the king, and gave birth to a half-human child.

This horrifies the Lord of the Sea. He and his monsters destroy much of the palace, and the Lord of the Sea attempts to kill his grandson. He has a change of heart after Illsaide turns on his father. The Lord of the Sea was mortally injured in the battle, and before he dies, he commands the monsters to leave, and if Illsaide ever comes to the sea, to welcome him as if he were his own son.

• "'Selen'" - Known as the Dark Angel, a Holy Knight who served as the Captain before Darres. A feisty, angelic-looking warrior, Selen can hold her own with the male knights who serve under her. She adopted Darres for the specific purpose of protecting Ishtar, although she also had great affection for the boy, in an older-sister kind of way. She once had a longtime lesbian relationship with the late Queen, and so she seems to look on Ishtar as a surrogate daughter, and wants desperately to protect her. Selen does not appear until Volume 13, when she returns from a diplomatic mission to Razenia. She never washes lettuce.

• "'St. Phelios'" - Not much is actually known about St. Phelios, except that he was a mage-warrior-king who is still revered in Pheliosta. He sacrificed his life to destroy Duzell, with the deadly spell known as La Gamme; Duzell swore that they would both be reborn in a century, and that he would kill Phelios. Ishtar considers him an overrated idiot, and says that she doesn't even want to think about who he shacked up with.

He evidently had at least a few children, and his descendants are all intermarried by now. It is possible that he was reborn as one of twin boys born to Ishtar and Darres.
