Main characters
Boogiepop716 fan favoritesExternal profileThe shinigami whispered of among the female students of Shinyo Academy, few people know that Boogiepop actually exists. Normally dormant, Boogiepop rises to the surface when enemies of the world appear. Boogiepop's appearance and voice are ambiguous: they seem both masculine and feminine at the same time. However, hidden beneath their signature black cloak and black, pipe-shaped hat, little is ever seen of them. Straight-faced and to the point, Boogiepop acts as mechanical as they claim to be. Boogiepop speaks in an archaic manner, and seems fond of whistling the overture to Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. (Source: Wikipedia)
Nagi Kirima141 fan favoritesExternal profileKnown as the Fire Witch, Kirima has made few friends due the way she distances herself from others: she knows that she is too dangerous for "normal" people to associate with. She has a messianic complex, and seeks to save the world from whatever may threaten it. As such, whenever there are unusual happenings within the city, Kirima can be found investigating what has happened. In the past, she had spent a period of time in a hospital. A combination of the events from that period of her life, as well as the death of her father, the famous writer Kirima Seiichi, brought her to follow this path in life. Extremely gifted both physically and intellectually, she has the basic tools she needs to carry out her self-appointed mission. (Source: Wikipedia, edited)
