List of Shakugan no Shana characters

The Japanese light novel, manga, and anime series Shakugan no Shana features a cast of characters created by Yashichiro Takahashi and Noizi Ito.

Yuji Sakai

 * Yuji Sakai (坂井 悠二) is a high school student who, as Kentaro reveals following Chigusa's pregnancy, had an older twin brother who died at birth; in honor of him, his parents named him Yuji, which means "second (child) who shall live long". One day, he discovers that he is a Torch who has already died and has little time left before he disappears. However, he is a Mystes who contains the "Midnight Lost Child" (零時迷子), a Treasure Tool which restores his Power of Existence each midnight. Because of this, he can live a regular lifespan as long as his Power of Existence does not run out before midnight, but it is unknown whether he will age normally or be immortal. Yuji is training to use his Power of Existence in hopes of fighting alongside Shana, which is later revealed to be equal to that of a Crimson Lord because Hecate altered his Power. After learning of his status as a Torch, Yuji develops a somewhat optimistic, yet fatalistic outlook on life. He puts others' needs before himself and justifies his acts of heroism with the belief that even if his existence is eventually extinguished, his sacrifices will be proof that he once lived. Although Yuji initially lacks the training and discipline of a Flame Haze, he makes up for this through his intellect, as he thinks outside the box and solves issues in ways that others would not. Over time, Yuji's training enables him to avoid most attacks even from Flame Hazes as skilled as Shana and Wilhelmina, and he gains the ability to cast Power of Unrestraint. He also wields Blutsauger and can infuse it with some of his power, as well as attack with silver fire.

 * When Yuji first activates the Seal on his own, the silver flames are an omen of the Snake of the Festival's return, as the God of Creation, which is revealed to be the Snake himself, created the flames to collect the elements needed for his resurrection. It is revealed that there are two entities inside the Midnight Lost Child: Johan, Pheles' lover and its creator, and the Snake of the Festival, a Crimson Lord who is one of the Crimson Realm's true gods and Bal Masqué's founder/true leader. Later, Pheles' second attempt to free Johan causes the Snake to awaken and he merges with Yuji, demanding that his subordinates refer to him as their new leader. As a result, others are confused as to his true intentions, as it is difficult to distinguish which actions are Yuji's will of Yuji and which are the Snake's. As the Snake plans to create Xanadu, a new world between the two realms which would allow the Denizens and Crimson Lords to live peacefully and end the conflict between the Flame Hazes and Bal Masqué, Shana and her allies oppose his plan, fearing that Xanadu's eventual collapse would further degrade the balance between the worlds. In the final battle, Yuji uses his own Unrestricted Spell, which he primarily uses as a shield, but its versatility is bound only by his will. When Lamia enters Xanadu after fulfilling his wish, she grants Yuji a new Unrestricted Spell, Grammatica, which restores his existence after he accepts Shana's feelings and they kiss, making him human again. With the help of another spell from Lamia, Yuji restores the humans in Misaki City whose existence the Denizens absorbed before departing for Xanadu with Shana.

Shana

 * Shana (シャナ) is a Flame Haze known as the "Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter" (「炎髪灼眼の討ち手」), who hunts the Denizens and contracted with Alastor, who calls her "The Great One". Her mentor and guardian is Wilhelmina Carmel. She generally treats most people with ignorance and indifference, with the exception of Chigusa Sakai, to whom she looks as a source of answers when Alastor or Wilhelmina cannot. At first, she focuses solely on her duty as a Flame Haze and is indifferent towards humans, choosing not to have a name until Yuji names her Shana after her weapon, a nodachi called the Nietono no Shana (贄殿遮那), and seeing him only as a Torch notable for his status as a Mystes. Despite her harsh attitude towards Yuji, she genuinely cares for him as she slowly opens up to him and comes to see him as a person, eventually falling in love with him while competing with Kazumi Yoshida for his love. Shana is said to be the most powerful Flame Haze, who most Denizens known and fear. She has various abilities, including proficiency with the Nietono no Shana, psychic abilities, wielding flames and the Power of Existence, and flying with wings of flame. After the final battle, Yuji accepts Shana's feelings and asks her to be with him in Xanadu, which she accepts.

Alastor

 * Alastor (アラストール) is the Crimson Realm's Lord and one of its true gods, who Shana contracted with, and is known as the "Flame of the Heavens" (「天壌の劫火」). He expresses his will through a divine vessel called the Cocytus, which, in Shana's case, takes the form of a pendant. Alastor is considered to be among the strongest of the Crimson Lords and Denizens, but despite his power, he tries to keep the Denizens from consuming the Power of Existence. Unlike other Crimson Lords who have a Flame Haze, his contractor can perform Divine Summoning (神威召喚 Shin'i Shoukan, God's Power Summoning), a method called Heaven Destruction Earth Break (天破壌砕), which requires a lot of Power of Existence and will manifest his being as the God of Atonement (天罰神) in the form of a giant minotaur to consume Denizens around him. This method is his Flame Haze's last resort, as prior to Shana, no Flame Haze had survived after using it. Alastor and Shana seem to have a parent-child dynamic at first, but he is aware that Shana must grow up and adapt to the world.

Snake of the Festival

 * The Snake of the Festival (「祭礼の蛇」) is a Crimson Lord and one of the Crimson Realm's true gods, who is known as the "God of Creation" (創造神), and Bal Masqué's leader, who was contracted to Yuji after merging with him. Although he has a kind and noble side that he shows to his comrades and subjects, he is cruel and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that his plans come to fruition. Long ago, he received many prayers from Denizens to create a world for themselves, which he answered by initiating the ritual to build a world called the "Great Chained" (大縛鎖), which was to be a paradise for Denizens. However, the process required many human lives to complete using their Power of Existence, and the ancient Flame Hazes, including Tis and Khamsin, intercepted and disrupted the ritual. causing a distortion that sealed the Snake in the rift between the worlds. The Snake's Divine Summoning, Saiki Reisō (祭基礼創), unleashes his power as the God of Creation and summons his power over Creation and Settlement to create anything. However, it requires a large amount of Power of Existence, which is why Bal Masqué seeks the Midnight Lost Child. Like other summonings, it requires a sacrifice; when it is used to create Xanadu, Hecate is used as the sacrifice.

 * The former Mystes of the Midnight Lost Child.

As she raised Johan, she expected his heart to be corrupted like his father's, but as he grew older, he fell in love with her. Together, they are known as the "Engaged Link". The Midnight Lost Child was created to give Johan eternal life, and Pheles stopped consuming humans. After being reborn as a Mystes, he trained and mastered the Power of Unrestraint, which was enhanced by his ability to sense Power of Existence. After he was mortally wounded in battle with Sabrac, Pheles sealed him inside the Midnight Lost Child, which came to be inside Yūji, but was unaware that Sabrac had also placed the Silver into it.

 * After Pheles awakens him after Kazumi summons her to the battlefield, he appears before Yūji and the Snake of the Festival and introduces himself to them. He thanks Kazumi for getting Pheles to grant his wish and reveals that she felt bad about not letting Wilhelmina come with her. He also reveals that since he no longer has the Midnight Lost Child, he is now a Torch and will soon disappear, and wants to pass on his hope. It is later revealed that Johan and Pheles used their Power of Existence to bore Justus, the Heir to Both Worlds, and that Johan's message to Kazumi was for Wilhelmina to take care of Justus.

Flame Hazes

 * Margery Daw (マージョリー・ドー) / "Chanter of Elegies" (「弔詞の詠み手」)
 * A Flame Haze with a drinking habit who became a Flame Haze to get revenge on a Denizen with a silver-colored flame who is connected to the Midnight Lost Child. She uses the Grimoire, the divine vessel through which Marchosias, to whom she is bound, expresses his will. Her specialty seems to be Power of Unrestraint, and her powers mainly focus on casting spells through an "Improvisational Poem of Slaughter" (屠殺の即興詩) as well as transforming into a werewolf. Eita and Keisaku look up to her because she once saved their lives, and in turn she chooses them as her guides upon arriving in Misaki City. It is later revealed that her drinking habit is a way of coping with her past, as she lived in medieval times and was the daughter of a landlord who was betrayed and killed, after which she ended up working in a brothel. She was given the opportunity for revenge, only to have the Silver destroy her enemies; her anger at having her only remaining reason for living stolen drew the attention of Marchosias. In the anime, Margery's focus gradually shifts from fighting solely to eradicate the Crimson Denizens to fighting to protect the Balance. In the light novels, after losing a battle with the Silver, she realizes that they were acting on her desire for revenge, causing her to despair and fall into a coma. She eventually recovers after Keisaku kisses her and confesses his love for her, giving her a new reason to live.

 * Wilhelmina Carmel (ヴィルヘルミナ・カルメル) / "Manipulator of Objects" (「万条の仕手」)
 * A polite and formal girl who usually wears a maid's uniform and is contracted to Tiamat, whose will resides in the divine vessel Persona, which took the form of a tiara during the Great War and currently takes the form of a headband out of battle and a mask in battle.

She has the ability to control ribbons that appear from around her and is skilled at many things, including singing and housework, and takes care of Shana during her training at Tendōkyū. However, she is not good at cooking. Wilhelmina dislikes Yuji, often suggesting that she kill him to prevent the Bal Masqué from obtaining the Midnight Lost Child and constantly referring to him as "the Mystes", though she later comes to call him by his name. She also becomes Yuji's training partner when Shana is unavailable.

 * Khamsin Nbh'w (カムシン・ネブハーウ) / "Mobilizer of Ceremonial Equipment" (「儀装の駆り手」)
 * A Flame Haze who is contracted to Behemoth and is among the oldest Flame Haze. He was once a prince who aspired to be a great warrior and became a Flame Haze to fight the Denizens, but was forgotten by everyone as the price of the contract. Despite being a Flame Haze, Khamsin's primary function is not to fight the Denizens, but rather to act as a tuner to dispel the distortions caused by battles between them and the Flame Hazes. However, he is capable of fighting and has the ability to create stone creatures that resemble golems.

Bal Masqué
An organization of Denizens who moved into the human world several millennia ago under the Grand Master and the God of Creation, the Sairei no Hebi (｢祭礼の蛇」). Since the Flame Hazes defeated him and sealed him in the Abyss between the worlds, it has been led by three powerful figures known collectively as the Trinity and became an organization to support Denizens. Their goal is to accomplish the Grand Order, with a Power of Unrestraint called the "Psalm of Grand Order" and the Midnight Lost Child being necessary for their plans. Its subordinates are mainly classified into three roles; Wanderers, Jaegers, and Heralds.


 * Hecate / Itadaki no Kura Hekatē (「頂の座」ヘカテー)
 * A member of the Trinity known as the "Priestess", who Bel Peol describes as having an "eternal existence". She controls the movements of Serei-den, Bal Masqué's base, and wields a Treasure Tool called Trigon, which resembles a staff. Her position is important to Bal Masqué's plans, as she can send the Midnight Lost Child's power to everything in Seireiden. She has taken up the habit of prayer, though she has no one to pray to, often lamenting that she is 'empty'. The light novels imply that she is praying to the Snake and depict her as a leader that even Bal Masqué fears. She is skilled at using Aster, a Power of Unrestraint which shoots energy beams, and has a flute that can summon dragons made of blue flame, which she plays when announcing the end of Serei-den's anchoring.

 * In the anime, Hecate synchronizes with Yuji, allowing her to draw on his sense of self to fill the void within her. The true nature of this synchronization is revealed at midnight, when the Midnight Lost Child attempts to restore Yuji's Power of Existence. As a result of the synchronization, it begins to emit an infinite amount of power in an attempt to fill Hecate's capacity. She considers the feelings that she gets from synchronizing with others are hers and no longer from their owners, much like a Torch being the remainder of their original human self. However, Yuji tells her that the feelings, memories and sense of self are his and that she is just as empty as she was before synchronizing and cannot possibly fill her sense of self by drawing it from others. Because of this revelation, she is forced to confront the emptiness within her, and her despair causes her to lose control of the synchronization, Serei-den, and herself, releasing the Power of Existence she stored while synchronized with Yuji and requiring Sydonay to save her. Later, during Xanadu's creation, Hecate becomes the sacrifice needed for its creation and reunites with Sydonay in the afterlife.


 * Sydonay / Senpen Shudonai (「千変」シュドナイ)
 * A member of the Trinity known as the "General", who remained outside the organization because he sought the freedom to do as he pleased, but assumed his current position after finding the Midnight Lost Child. It is implied that he and Margery fought in the past, as Sydonay describes their current battles as a reunion. He has shape-shifting abilities and, unlike other Denizens, can transform into various chimeras without using spells. He also wields a Treasure Tool called the "Shintetu Nyoi" (神鉄如意), which resembles a spear. With this weapon in hand, he leads an army of Denizens and Lords, destroying major Outlaws throughout Europe and China. He cares deeply for Hecate and comes to her aid even in the midst of battle, as when he abandons his fight with Margery. He chooses to stay behind when the gate to Xanadu opens, reuniting with Hecate in the afterlife after Margery kills him.

 * A member of the Trinity known as the "Strategist", who is willing to manipulate her subordinates and send them to their deaths, but is also capable in battle. Unlike most Denizens, who live their lives freely, Bel Peol accepts the obstacles that stand in the way of her plans, feeling that overcoming them is what makes life interesting..

 * Fecor / Rantei Fekorū (「嵐蹄」フェコルー)
 * A Lord who usually acts as a guide for Seireiden and greets Denizens and Lords at the gate, but is secretly Bel Peol's right-hand man, being in charge of Seireiden's defense. Despite his appearance and demeanor, he is powerful and can use a Power of Unrestraint called Magnesia, which creates storm of heavy particles that he can manipulate and use for both offense and defense. He later appears in Misaki City as Hecate's bodyguard to protect her from the Flame Hazes. He is killed by Tenmoku Ikko while guarding Bal Masque and the Dimensional Gate.

 * Sabrac / Kaijin Saburaku (壊刃」サブラク)
 * A Lord who is an assassin working for hire and has won many battles against the Flame Hazes, but only chooses targets he finds interesting. He collects and wields bladed weapons, and his Power of Unrestraint, Stigma, causes the wounds he inflicts to increase in severity over time. Sabrac has a large stature, yet possesses the senses of a human, and hides his body by blending into his surroundings, allowing him to attack undetected. The humanoid form that he can create to attack is nearly invulnerable because it is created from a small part of his body. After Bal Masqué hires him, he puts a part of "Psalm of Grand Order" into the Midnight Lost Child. Bel Peol later hires him and he attacks Misaki City, injuring the Flame Hazes there and putting another part of the "Psalm" into Yuji. However, his arrogance allows Wilhelmina to cure the wounds Stigma inflicted and Yuji deduces his true nature, defeating him by severing the connection between his humanoid part and his true body. Despite this defeat, he escapes using the power of the Gordian Knot. He is ultimately destroyed after falling into the Abyss, having lost the will to fight upon seeing the Snake of the Festival's true form and refusing Bel Peol's aid.
 * A Lord who is an assassin working for hire and has won many battles against the Flame Hazes, but only chooses targets he finds interesting. He collects and wields bladed weapons, and his Power of Unrestraint, Stigma, causes the wounds he inflicts to increase in severity over time. Sabrac has a large stature, yet possesses the senses of a human, and hides his body by blending into his surroundings, allowing him to attack undetected. The humanoid form that he can create to attack is nearly invulnerable because it is created from a small part of his body. After Bal Masqué hires him, he puts a part of "Psalm of Grand Order" into the Midnight Lost Child. Bel Peol later hires him and he attacks Misaki City, injuring the Flame Hazes there and putting another part of the "Psalm" into Yuji. However, his arrogance allows Wilhelmina to cure the wounds Stigma inflicted and Yuji deduces his true nature, defeating him by severing the connection between his humanoid part and his true body.

 * Dantalion / Tantankyūkyū Dantarion (「探耽求究」ダンタリオン)
 * A mad scientist who is willing to conduct research on his fellow Denizens, being responsible for experiments that created some of the powerful Flame Hazes, and will work with anyone in order to achieve his goals. He is also notorious for conducting experiments for the sake of conducting experiments, which annoys others. Bel Peol does not like or trust him and Sydonay hates him, but Hecate is close to him. Near the end of the Second Great War, Sale threw one of Dantalion's own creations, a mass-produced robot primed to explode, under the tower where Xanadu's creation was taking place. Dantalion believed he would be able to escape through an escape route, but was unable to escape because Para had accidentally disabled it. The robot then exploded, killing Dantalion and Domino in the blast.
