Yui Komori

 

Komori Yui is a normal girl who gets sent, by her father, to the Sakama brothers' house. She is a good-natured and sweet girl. She is also strong despite the horrible situation she is in and everything. Her dad works in a Church and she has the power to see ghosts.

 

Despite she is technically human, she has Cordelia's heart so is more like a dormant vampire. She is unaware of this though.

 

It was Ayato who gave her the nick name "Pancake", referring to her flat chest.

 

 

Ayato Sakamaki

 

Ayato is the 3rd child and the oldest of the triplet of the fraternal twins (the others being Kanato and Raito).

He is a prankster and a very narcissistic boy, always claims to be number #1 in everything. He calls Yui "Pancake", in reference to her breast size.

 

He's been raised by knowing the only rule as "never failing in order to be loved", therefor he got used to always be perfect as that was a synonym for him to be worthy of love. The reason his mother, Cordelia the second wife, wanted Ayato to be the "best" was for her own sake and well being just to beat Beatrice, mother of Shuu and Reiji and the first wife, seeing her as a threat and competition to get Karlheinz's, the father of the Sakamaki's, attention.

Whenever he would've failed, his mom taught him that the punishment would've been abuse and cruelty. All of this made him being the narcissistic person he is now.

Obviously as he was only used by Cordelia to gain the attention to be noticed by her husband, he never got a sane motherly love.

He eventually grew to resent how his mom threated him, and tried to kill her once.

In truth all of the attention he needs to have is due his deep need of love.

 

 

Kanato Sakamaki

 

The 4th child in the family and the middle child of the triplet of the fraternal twins (the others being Ayato and Raito). He is modeled after the yandere archetype and very mercurial. Kanato seems mentally unstable, kinda child-like as he can burst into tears and screaming whenever he can't get what he wants and then suddenly turning back to normal, often telling you it was all an act and that you're stupid for believing him.

 

He speaks politely but is abusive and clingy.

 

His disturbed child-like personality is given to the fact that, like his brothers, he wasn't properly raised, as his mom was used to have sex with other persons right in front of him, when he was a kid.Since anyone could have her but him, when she died and he found her dead body, he burned it and stuffed the ashes in his bear plush so that now his mom belongs to him only.

Also, Kanato is used to talk with his bear right because "his mom's ash is in it".

 

 

Raito Sakamaki

 

The 5th child and the youngest triplet of the fraternal twins (the others being Kanato and Ayato).

He's a pervert and sadist vampire, and like Kanato, is a scary and insane type.

He's also quite rude as he calls Yui insulting names.

 

 

Cordelia raised her son, Raito, in an extremely sick way; as it was the "norm" to have sex with him. In time, Raito got used to doing these things, and began to view his mother as more of a lover than his parent. As she was quite the flirty type, Raito would most likely kill anyone he'd caught sleeping with her.

When Raito's father found out about the unusual relationship between his wife and son, he locks Raito in the basement. Later Cordelia goes to see him and tells him that she is now having sex with someone else, and that all this time, she has only used Raito for sex. Since he saw her as a lover, he couldn't avoid looking at things like she was cheating on him. The shock and the situation overall made Raito ending up becoming a pervert.

At some point in the story, when Cordelia was attacked by Ayato and ran to Raito for help, he threw her off the balcony in response.

 

 

Shuu Sakamaki

 

The 1st and eldest child in the family.

Apathetic and lazy, Shuu is someone who loves nothing but music. He's now somewhat bored with life due to all that happened in his past.

Despite Shuu is the eldest son he doesn't take any responsiblity to look after his five brothers and the house at all, he mostly pushes this job all to Reiji.

 

 

Since he was the eldest son, despite having all the attentions, he was always alone until he met Edgar, a human in a nearby village, who soon became his best and only friend.

When Edgar died, due the big fire in the village, Shuu felt it like he was unable to save him and blamed himself. He's still unaware that the fire was set up by his brother Reiji out of jealousy.

Because of his past experience, Shuu tends to push Yui away a lot, at first, as he says that humans die too easily.

 

 

 

Reiji Sakamaki

 

Reiji is the 2nd son in the family.

He is a very strict type.

Reiji is the one who takes care of the household and of all his younger brothers while Shuu, who is the one supposed to be doing this, slack off.

Because of Shuu's lazy behaviour, Reiji hates him and is jealous of his position of eldest son of the family as Shuu gets all the attention.

Even though he's usually gentle, he insults Yui terribly, yet he's also a sadist vampire.

 

 

Reiji hired a vampire hunter to kill his mother and show her that he was better than Shuu.

Due to the jealousy towards Shuu he also did set on fire an entire village, only to kill Shuu's human friend, Edgar. Shuu is still unaware of this though.

Reiji has a collection of poisons and is experimenting a drug to bring his mom back to life (just to kill her again).

 

 

Subaru Sakamaki

 

 

Subaru is the 6th child, thus being the youngest of all the brothers.

He's a delinquent type, kinda violent and loves to damage things.

He's also a sadist, but despite all, can occasionally be sweet.

Subaru, of all, doesn't get along to any of his brothers.

 

Around sixteen years prior the storyline, Christa, Subaru's mom, was forced into become a bride and was then raped.

Subaru is the fruit of that rape, in fact he, like his mother, is kinda "broken" by this.

His mother, everytime that sees Subaru, always begs him to kill her, but he's never capable to do that. She also gave him a knife able to kill vampires in order to get her own death.

This is pretty much the reason as why he is permanently angry and breaks things.

Subaru grew up without a the love of a mother, always hearing her screaming by desperation.
