This is a list of characters from the manga and anime series Princess Resurrection.
Main characters
The main protagonist and a normal yet brave middle school teenager who dies at the beginning of the series (in the manga he was hit by a van that went out of control after ricocheting off Flandre, whereas in the anime he was hit by a falling iron I-beam after pushing Hime out of the way). He finds himself in Hime's service as he is bound to her because her blood (flame, in the anime) revived him. Though young and not very strong, Hiro manages to assist Hime (mostly by being a human shield) through his "half-immortality" that was given to him after his resurrection. At first, he'd rather not be involved in these battles, but as he learns more about Hime, Hiro becomes more willing to protect her. His body changes in the manga when Hime's life is in danger, a fact that he notices and causes him to rush to Hime, though this is left out in the anime. In the anime (episode 24), Hiro realizes he has developed feelings for Hime and tries to kiss her, but she slaps him in the face, not because she did not want him to kiss her (this is uncertain), but because the gang was watching them, a theory made by Reiri in that moment: "Hiro, you were too slow." It was stated by Sherwood, and apparently noticed by Hime, that Hiro has the potential to become the greatest blood warrior. The reason was not shown, because Hiro runs to save Hime before Sherwood can reveal the reason. In chapter 35, it is also implied that Hiro has some sort of connection to the Monster World, which makes him special. This was stated by Gilliam, after his assassination attempt failed because of Hiro's intervention.
Weapons used: Grass Cutter, Axe, Broomstick, Candle Stick, Metal Pole.
The titular character of the series, a young 17-year-old aristocratic woman wearing Gothic clothing and apparently of German descent. Hime is the second royal princess of the Phoenix Tribe whose real name is , though she hates being referred to by that name. Though a member of the Royal Family, Hime has no active interest in inheriting the throne but is forced to fight against her siblings due to their kind's rulings that the siblings must kill each other. This is due to the fact that Phoenixes are mortal before fully maturing and thus would disrupt order among the monsters if multiple adult phoenixes endlessly battle for the throne. Though playfully arrogant, she is desensitized towards violence and is not above personally killing an opponent with various weapons suited for the scenario. As a member of the royal family, Hime can convert a corpse into a half-immortal soldier through her blood ("Flame of Life" in the anime) with the reanimated servant's life needing to be prolonged. While this ability can be used on anything that has died, it is considered taboo for user to use it on themselves, other members of their clan or those they've personally killed. Prior to the series, she had an army of servants who all laid down their lives to ensure her escape when her castle was compromised by zombies sent by her brother, Severin. She resurrects Hiro on a whim after he died saving her when she moved to Sasanaki Village out of a fascination with humans. She becomes a temporary half-vampire in order to save Hiro in the manga chapter 'Princess Blood'. Her relationship with Hiro remains uncertain in the anime, but they are clearly becoming closer in the manga. In chapters 47 and 55, an alternate version of her is shown to have been forcefully transported nine years into the future. As soon as she arrives, she is attacked by a powerful monster that nearly overwhelms her, but wins thanks to the encouragement of the present day Hiro who she contacts via Riza's cellphone. She later walks to Sherwood's mansion where she learns only they and Sylvia remain. She leaves everything to Sherwood and confronts Sylvia at her mansion. They have a duel but is severely wounded by the mermaid who Sylvia entrusted to Emile. Sylvia then swings her sword down at her; however, future Hiro intervenes and stops the blow and rescues her. Following her final battle with Sylvia, Hime loses her abilities as a Phoenix and is allowed to live a normal life while going by her real name.

A child-like gynoid in the service of Hime, nicknamed "Flan". Her small stature belies her incredible strength and dense body. Like other robots that were created by Frankenstien to serve the Royal Family, Flan is assigned as Hime's bodyguard and menial labor with a self-destruct protocol installed to activate the moment Hime dies. Although she puts on the same expression all the time, she knows when her friends are in danger. She assists Hime in moving objects, serves as a driver and occasionally helps Hiro. She only says one word: "Hooba" in the English version, "Fuga" (or sometimes "Huga" depending on the translation) in the Japanese. She has a special function in her eyes to view hard-to-see things, her vision has a German language HUD and she knows how to drive vehicles. Being a gynoid, her weight is a few tons and she's capable of running out of power and needing to recharge. In episode 10 of the series, Flandre formed a relationship with Ciel, alongside helping repair him. In the anime special, she went berserk when she wound up with a screw loose. Emile got Flanders to remedy that and prevented her from self-destructing.
Weapons used: Broken Tree, Lance, Chainsaw, Telephone/Electricity Mast.
Hiro's sister, who is a maid employed by Hime do to her cooking being recognized by Hime as the best. She is seemingly oblivious to the supernatural aspects of and surrounding Hime, nor does she seem to understand Hiro's explanation of his immortality. Hiro sometimes appears troubled that his sister is so dense but in truth it is rather convenient because he could never make up excuses that would explain everything without mentioning the supernatural. She lives a normal life in spite of all the supernatural phenomena happening around her, and is completely oblivious to it. Sawawa is also known for having unusually large breasts. In the future, she is stated to have died from the bomb explosion that threw Hime into the future. In the anime, her surname is also Hiyorimi as she introduced herself to Hime. In the manga, there is not much shown of her, but she appeared more in the anime where she is often shown eating strawberry parfaits at the café. Her age is unknown, but it's somewhere between senior year high school and maybe second year of university if she attended. Sawawa is always dressed in maid outfit, even when going out, has naturally large and bouncy breasts, is extremely easygoing and has a kind nature that allows her to accept everybody and always looks at the good in people. For example, not batting an eye when Riza freeloads despite her rough nature or inviting a vampire into the house courteously even though it was a stranger. A running gag in the anime involves her sitting up in shock while eating at a nearby cafe whenever Hiro sustains an injury that would be lethal under ordinary circumstances, suddenly think of something minor like noticing a new menu item (and never thinking of anything violent or scary in nature), only to calm down and go back to eating her parfait. She addresses Hime as "Oujo-Sama" (Mistress in English).
A half-breed tomboy girl who is the daughter of the werewolf, Volg Wildman and an unnamed human woman, raised by her brother (named "Lobo Wildman" in anime) under the ideals of being an honorable werewolf clan. When Riza confronts Hime over killing her brother, she learns her brother died honorably and that the fight was orchestrated by Prince Duken using her to force her brother to attack Hime. Thus Riza offers her services to Hime in the hopes of avenging her brother should Duken attack Hime. As a hybrid, Riza possesses superhuman strength and senses but, while less physically powerful compared to a full-blooded werewolf, Riza can turn her forearms into large wolf paws while being practically invincible under the light of a full moon. When she was brought into prison it is revealed that she is stronger than the highest ranking werewolf that was imprisoned there and she was able to kill a strong pureblood vampire despite not relying on the moons power, being the result of being an experienced fighter with her human nature allowing her to adapt to any situation for an advantage over stronger enemies. Appears to have feelings of companionship for Hiro. Much to her embarrassment, Riza has "squishy" pads (some translations describe them as having a comfortingly soft feel) inside her paws, according to Hiro and one of his classmates. She also initially disliked Reiri due to their opposing natures, but gradually got along with the vampire. When she was helped by Reiri in the vampire kingdom, she was temporarily turned into a hybrid of vampire and werewolf, although this didn't appear to have any other effect than to mask her presence to the other vampires. It was revealed that Riza is a virgin in her conversation with Reiri. She particularly enjoys fast vehicles, much to Hiro's horror when he's dragged along, despite this they're on friendly terms with each other and Riza actually teases Hiro the least out of all the girls. In the Future, Riza is stated to have died from the bomb explosion that threw Hime into the future.
Her name was changed to "Liza Wildman" in the English dub.
Weapons used: Metal Pole, Rifle.
A pureblood vampire who attends the same school as Hiro, Reiri has long black hair, always dresses in a dark sailor fuku and has idol status at her school. In the manga, there are many scenes showing her in black underwear, but in the anime those are reduced to panchira. Reirei made an attempt to get Hime's blood by using Hiro after she turn him into a lesser vampire. Though the plan failed and Hiro was cured, Hime spared Reirei's life as she had no relation to the vampire in the hospital. She was later banished from the vampire society by Kiniski after she helped Riza fight him, being hunted by the lesser vampires he sired for three days straight before they nearly kill her while burning down the abandoned church she was living in. But she was saved by Riza, Hiro, Hime, Flandre, Sherwood, Francesca and Francette, having since become a freeloader at Hime's mansion. While she greatly detested Riza at first, Reirei eventually grew to respect the half-werewolf. Other than the blood from members of the Royal family, female virgins and a cute guy within reason, she also enjoys drinking tomato juice. She enjoys eating Sawawa's meals and seems to be able to get just enough sustenance from food to allow her to survive for a short period on just a few drops of blood. This way she is able to use a small knife to get blood from her "lambs" at school in a "ritual" without needing to use her fangs or mind control to feed. Since it is only a few drops and most of the school idolizes her, they're willing to accommodate her "fetish" as a means to be closer to her than others while thinking she's only pretending to be a vampire.
