Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière (ルイズ・フランソワーズ・ル・ブラン・ド・ラ・ヴァリエール, Ruizu Furansowāzu Ru Buran do Ra Variēru) is a second-year student at the Tristain Academy of Magic. She is the third daughter of the Vallière family, an aristocratic family well-known in the school. Louise is nicknamed "Louise the Zero" for her apparently-poor magic abilities, and masks her insecurity and hurt feelings with arrogance. She considers it her responsibility to ensure Princess Henrietta's safety and well-being. During a ceremony where all second-year students summon their peers, Louise summons Saito Hiraga (a human). She treats Saito as a slave at first, having him wash her clothes and sleep on a bed of straw. Louise is jealous when Saito interacts with other girls, and whips him with a riding crop or blows him up. As the series progresses, Louise falls in love with him. In the 14th light novel, Louise has Tiffania erase her memories of Saito so that she will not be corrupted. Saito restores Louise's memory by sharing his own with a kiss, after which she becomes tsundere.

During Albion's invasion of Tristain, Louise discovers that she is a rare Void Mage (descended from Brimir, the founder of Halkeginia 6,000 years ago), which explains her failure to perform other forms of magic. Her Void spell is "Explosion"; her powers can destroy armies, but takes time to cast. Louise sheds her status as an aristocrat to rescue her classmate, Tabitha, when she is taken prisoner by her uncle. After they return, the Queen of Tristain adopts Louise as a sister (placing Louise second in line to the throne). Louise becomes a priestess with Tiffa for the Pope's anniversary enthronement.

At the end of the fourth anime series Louise and Saito defeat the Ancient Dragon, affirm their love for each other, and are married. After the wedding, Louise uses her World Door spell to go to Japan with Saito and visit his parents.

Louise is named after Louise de La Vallière, a French noblewoman who was the mistress of Louis XIV from 1661 to 1667.^{[ LN 3]} In 2007, Rie Kugimiya was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the first Seiyu Awards for voicing Louise. She was the third-most-popular Rie Kugimiya character in an Anime! Anime! poll on Kugimiya's 39th birthday in 2018.^[2] Comic Book Resources called her the "Weakest Isekai Hero"^[3] and the worst tsundere character, saying that she "is much more than just a textbook example of a tsundere" and "she creates one of the slowest burning, most annoying build-ups to a relationship that ever had the misfortune of actually happening."^[4] Louise was fourth in Da Vinci News' "Top 7 Pink-Haired Anime Heroines" poll,^[5] with one respondent saying that they were infected with Kugimiya disease (釘宮病, Kugimiya-byō).^[6] Capsule Computers considered Louise unique; while "[m]ost characters held a reasonable degree of emotion when speaking, [...] Louise was definitely the stand out character from a vocal standpoint."^[7] Her character CD, released on 10 October 2007, was number 187 on the Oricon Singles Chart on 22 October of that year.^[8] Louise's Princesse no Rondo album, released on 3 September 2008, was number 141 on 15 September of that year.^[9] Her song album, Zero no Tsukaima Louise BEST, was released on 4 February 2009 and charted at number 58 on 16 February.^[10] Her F drama CD album with Henrietta was released on 21 March 2012.^[11]

Saito Hiraga (平賀才人, Hiraga Saito) is a human summoned from Tokyo as Louise's familiar. Walking home on a busy Tokyo street, a portal opens in front of him. When he touches it, he finds himself in Harkeginia and meets Louise. Saito is bonded as Louise's familiar by a sealing kiss, which shocks him. Louise and Saito do not get along at first, and Louise treats him poorly. As the series progresses, they understand each other and fall in love. Whenever Saito pays attention to another girl, Louise punishes him with her riding crop or a blast from her void explosion spell.

When Louise becomes a familiar with Saito, the runes "" are inscribed on Saito's left hand. They signify his status as Gandálfr (神の左手・ガンダールヴ, Gandāruvu, "Gundolf" in Geneon anime, lit. "the Left Hand of God"), a familiar who can use any object crafted as a weapon by touching it;^{[S1 ep 10][S2 ep 12]} he can wield melee weapons and war machines whicvh include a World War II A6M Zero fighter and a Tiger I, but not weapons crafted for ornamental purposes. A Gandálfr exists to protect a Void Mage as they cast their spells.^{[S1 ep 13]} After being mortally wounded from fighting Albion's army at the end of the second anime season, Saito is revived by Tiffania but loses his Gandálfr power ^{[S3 ep 1]} until Louise summons him and renews his contract.^{[S3 ep 2]} He is knighted by Henrietta and made vice-captain of the student Undine Knights, led by Guiche.^{[S3 ep 3]}

In the fourth anime season, after Saito becomes the lord of the De Ornielle region, Saito also becomes Tiffania's familiar and gains an ability known as Lífþrasir (神の心臓・リーヴスラシル, Līvusurashiru, lit. "the Heart of God") which allows him to boost Void magic to the user he touches; his life force is drained each time he uses it. This ability was depleted after fighting the Ancient Dragon, according to Derflinger. When they fail to destroy the Ancient Dragon the first time, Louise sends Saito back to his world with the World Door. Saito returns through a solar eclipse with a F-2A jet fighter, and they destroy the Ancient Dragon.

Saito's weapon is a cheap sword Louise bought, which is the talking sword Derflinger (Derf) (Voiced by: Tetsuo Gotō (Japanese); Kaiji Tang (English)^[13]). Derflinger says that he was the partner of Gandálfr 6,000 years ago, and it is no coincidence that Saito and Derflinger are partners.^{[S1 ep 12]} Derflinger can absorb spells; apparently destroyed in Saito's first confrontation with the Ancient Dragon, he is dormant inside f Gandálfr. Saito is named after Gennai Hiraga (a Japanese scientist from the Edo period), and his name is written "ability man".^[14] At the end of the fourth anime series, Saito and Louise are married. Capsule Computers cited his sarcasm as his "most well performed moment", and called his power "interesting".^[7] His F drama CD album with Guiche and Julio was released on 21 March 2012.^[15]

Tabitha (タバサ, Tabasa) is a quiet girl, a classmate of Louise, and Kirche's best friend. She enjoys reading, shows no emotion, says little about herself and often gives short, incomplete answers to questions. Her name is an alias; her real name is Charlotte Helene Orléans de Gallia (シャルロット, Sharurotto), daughter of the king's murdered brother and heiress to the throne of Gallia. Tabitha's mother was driven insane by a potent poison meant for her daughter. A doll given to Tabitha by her mother is named "Tabitha"; her mother sees the doll as her daughter, and her real daughter as an outsider who threatens to tear the family apart. Percerin, the family butler, says that her father's murder, her mother's madness, and harsh treatment by her usurping uncle made the previously lively, open Tabitha introverted.^{[S1 ep 8]}

Tabitha is a triangle mage who specializes in wind magic. She is a chevalier knight (the lowest rank), and develops feelings for Saito after he rescues her. Tabitha's familiar is Sylphid (also known as Illococoo), a nature dragon. During the fourth season, she receives a potion that restores her mother's sanity. Tabitha is proclaimed heir to the throne of Gallia, but postpones the coronation to live with Saito in De Ornielle with Louise and Siesta.

Her character CD, which she shares with Kirche, was released on 21 September 2006.^[16] Tabitha's Princesse no Rondo album was released on 24 September 2008, and charted at number 206 on 6 October.^[17] Her F drama CD album with Siesta was released on 21 March 2012.^[18]

Louise's classmate, Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst (キュルケ, Kyuruke), is from a military family in Germania. She attends the academy, rather than a local school, because of her misbehavior. Kirche uses her attractiveness on men.^{[S1 ep 3]} Fire magic is her specialty, due to her passionate nature. Kirche enjoys making fun of Louise, because her family and the La Vallières are rivals. She is flirtatious and has dated many of the academy boys, but she is smitten with Saito; Louise punishes him for paying attention to Kirche. By the third series, her interest appears to be directed toward Colbert; she and Louise work together in critical situations. Kirche's familiar is a salamander named Flame, and her name means "church" in German. She falls in love with an older man, which is ironic because her refusal to marry one led to her enrollment in the academy. In the fourth anime series she and Montmorency spend more time together, and she is still fond of Saito.

Capsule Computers called Kirche's seduction her "most well-performed moment".^[7] Her character CD, which she shares with Tabitha, was released on 21 September 2006.^[16]

Tiffania Westwood (ティファニア・ウエストウッド, Tifania Uesutouddo, also "Tiffa") is a half-elf who first appears in the third anime season. Saito remembers her as "the big-breasted fairy who restored his life" during the war between Tristain and Albion.^{[S2 ep 12]} Tiffania's parents are the Archduke of Albion and an elf who is his mistress; she and Henrietta are cousins, since her father is Henrietta's uncle.^{[S3 ep 3]} Tiffania's magic comes from a ring her late mother left her, but when she revives Saito its gemstone is consumed.^{[S3 ep 3]} She later discovers she is a Void Mage, sought out by Sheffield and Joseph, with a Mindwipe spell that erases people's short-term memories and magical compulsions. Her familiar is Saito (who has two masters), and her confused feelings for him are realized during the fourth season. After her royal Albion heritage is recognized by Henrietta, Tiffania moves to the academy. She is ostracized at first due to her elvish origin, but was later accepted with Saito's help.^{[S3 ep 4]} Her beauty and kindness are admired by many of her classmates, and (like other women close to Saito) Louise is jealous of her.^{[S3 ep 4]}

Tiffania is naive for her age. Unlike Saito's promise to Louise (made because he loves her), his promise to Tiffania that "I will protect you" is in gratitude for resurrecting him.

Julio Chesaré (ジュリオ, Jurio) is a knight from the Holy Empire of Romalia sent as transfer student to Tristain Magic Academy.^{[S2 ep 3]} He has the Moon Eyes (月目), as his eyes are heterochromic—one red, one blue, like the two moons of Halkeginia.^{[S2 ep 3]} Julio is sent by Romalia's Pope as his support for Henrietta's expedition to Albion, now in political strife after the fall of the royal family followed by the death of Reconquista's leader.^{[S2 ep 3]} Julio is also the familiar of the Pope of Romalia, also known as Vindálfr (神の右手・ヴィンダールヴ, Vindāruvu, lit. God's Right Hand), who has the ability to communicate with and command magical creatures in the same way that Saito can wield weapons.^{[S4 ep 1]} In one instance, he single-handedly defeated nine dragon knights of Albion. He is sometimes treated with disdain by others because he's a priest. In the novels, he is also portrayed as rather manipulative. He is named after Julius Caesar.

Although not a mage, Julio is a dragon knight and expert swordsman. During his duel with Saito to win Louise's kiss, Julio could have easily won against Saito—who does not use Gandalfr's skill, but he let Saito win to tease him.^{[S2 ep 3]} He has beautiful looks and a personality that grants him popularity among girls.^{[S2 ep 3]} He can be considered a replacement for Guiche after his depart to the military service because he is similar to Guiche in looks—however, Julio is worldly, as opposed to the vain, foolish Guiche, and hardly had to exert effort to charm most of the female students in the academy.

In the anime, Julio initially pursues Louise, although on multiple occasions, he helps fix Louise and Saito's relationship. In the novels, he falls in love with Josette, the twin sister of Tabitha. Julio also became Josette's familiar as the second Myozunitonirun, after the deaths of Joseph and Sheffield.

His appearance is even more of a 'bishounen' than Julio, and he is slightly over 20 years old. He is kind-hearted in that he cares for orphans and is trying to increase the welfare of the commoners, but has to deal with politicking with the nobles in the process. He is a Void user with magic of disintegration, originally the spell of ‘Recovery’, which has an incinerating effect on evil entities. Julio serves as his familiar.^{[S4 ep 1]} Vittorio possesses the Founder's Round Mirror until it was stolen from a treasure room; the mirror allowed the user to look into the past of the Founder Brimir and see the actions of his lifetime. He understands how atrocious his actions are, and knows eventually he will have to step on the path Founder Brimir actions are necessary to save humanity.

In the novel, Vittorio's mother had stolen the Ruby of Fire ring from him and escaped to D'Angleterre to hide, which resulted in burning the entire village by Colbert and his troops to prevent the spread of the 'New Religion.' She merely didn't want her own son to follow Brimir's footsteps, as it would just to be a burden. However, Vittorio was not saddened by his mother's death. In the anime, Vittorio sacrifice himself to the Ancient Dragon to save Julio's life.

Though she is sensible, she appears sometimes childish, such as showing no embarrassment when first appearing in the Academy Court Yard naked in front of Saito and the others, because as a dragon she goes about naked all the time. Illococoo promised her "older sister" that she would not tell anybody about her ability to use shape-shifting magic, but Derflinger is aware of her true nature and ensures that the others become aware of it too.^{[S3 ep 9]}

Sasha (サーシャ, Sāsha) is a female Elf who was one of Founder Brimir's familiars – Gandálfr.

Despite already being a Gandálfr, Sasha was Lífþrasir as well, similar to her successor Saito Hiraga 6,000 years later. Sasha killed Brimir by stabbing Derflinger into his heart while he tried to kill off the elves for reasons not yet revealed as of the 19th light novel. In his defense, Brimir meant no harm to come to Sasha when he made her his familiar. Although her backstory was never mentioned in the animation.

Brimir le Reimir Yuru Viri Vee Varutori (ブリミル・ル・ルミル・ユル・ヴィリ・ヴェー・ヴァルトリ, Burimiru Ru Rumiru Yuru Viri Vee Varutori), was the first Void mage. In his youth, he was absent-minded genius not unlike Colbert. He made a pact with Sasha. He is considered a founder of the familiar system for a mage's protector, establishing Romalia with the assistance of his apprentice, and had three children that would flourish the royal families of Tristain, Albion, and Gallia. Humans from the Holy Land were exiled by elves borders. Retaking his homeland came with an unwilling decision to annihilate elves, as Brimir wished with all his heart to not have to commit such atrocities. According to his profile, history simply concluded that Sasha was Brimir's lover: meaning that Halkagenian royal families are related to the elves.
