***~Character Profiles~***

Cross High School, a prestigious private high school for the super-wealthy and super-talented, is divided into several different groups where everyone within that group has a lot of things in common. The Popular group, the Cheerleader group & the Rich Kids Group are at the top of the chain. The Nerds, the Computer Geeks, the Chemistry Wizards, the Biology Freaks & some more are at the bottom of the chain. And the rest, who are neither in the top or the bottom of the food chain, are in the middle.

The Populars

It is common knowledge that the Populars are rich, talented and totally egotistical (i.e. thinking too highly of yourself) bastards (not literally). Well . . . some of them anyway! And the entire Night Class belongs to this category.

Everyone strives to get them to notice them.

That, by the way, included the female and male teachers. I'm not kidding when I say that the teachers were dressing differently, and trying to liven up their classes, meanwhile, students were trying to be cooler, tougher, funnier or more intriguing, just to make them blink.

You can see people changing as soon as they walked into a room. Some would pretend they were not in the room. Everything became exaggerated. People moved in ways that were slightly slower than usual. Or slightly faster. Some people smile more often; others didn't smile at all. Girls would sit at their desks, eyes half-closed, pushing hair behind their ears with whimsical expressions that said: I'm lost in a sort of sighing thought here. And then their faces would exclaim: I just remembered a really cool thing and I have to tell my close friend about! And they'd swing round to the girl sitting behind them, prance their hands on that girl's desk and go all, "Guess what?"

Often, the girl behind them would be a complete and total stranger!

Oh! There were conversations! So many too just to impress the Populars! I remember once walking into the History and seeing a boy picking up a basket ball and gently thunk another boy on the back of the head with it. At which the second boy turned around, breathed quickly, and asked the first boy if he finished the case study yet. At which the first boy gave the first boy a half-grin and changed the subject to the demographics of democracy or something. To show he was a profound, possessing insights beyond a thunking football.

All of this, I guarantee, took place because the Populars were walking by.

You see, they all wanted the Populars to think they were interesting. They wanted the Populars to think of them as languid people who were cool, smart and simmering with interesting thoughts. They wanted the Populars to want them to be their friends.

Some people actually believed they were cool enough for the Populars attention. They invited them around. They said, "You guys wanna come to my party this weekend? We got beer and the stuff." They tried to strike up conversations.

But every single one was kindly and gently thwarted.

As far as I'm concerned, no one exactly started a genuine conversation with them.

The main Populars are:

Kaname Kuran: Kaname Kuran is introduced as the pure blood vampire that saved Yuuki from an attack by another vampire when she was five years old. He is from the Kuran family, and was raised as Juri and Haruka's son. Why Kaname has an inexplicable attachment and gentleness to Yuuki is unknown. His wood bark colored hair and maroon eyes give him a dark, mysterious look.

Hanabusa Aido: Hanabusa Aido is nicknamed "Idol" by the Day Class girls. Aido is well known among the Night Class along with his cousin to be "Lord Kaname's right hand". His fierce admiration for Kaname borders on jealousy and though extremely loyal, Aido has a tendency to overstep his boundaries, which results in Kaname punishing him if discovered (often by slapping him). A noble-class vampire who can conjure and control ice, Aido often appears cheerful and friendly one moment, but vindictive and cruel the next. In spite of his seeming capriciousness, he is a dedicated and serious individual. He is often irritated at Yuuki and her naive ways and he resents the fact Yuuki is given special attention from "Lord Kaname". His platinum blonde hair and summer sky blue eyes gives him a playful, Happy-Go-Lucky look.

Akatsuki Kain: Akatsuki Kain is Aido's cousin and considered one of "Lord Kaname's right-hand men." While the Day Class girls have nicknamed him "Wild", Kain is actually mellower than Aido and his laid-back attitude and his association with Aido frequently has him getting into trouble, despite not being directly responsible. Kain is incredibly perceptive and frequently sensitive to others' feelings, most particularly with his cousins, Aido and Ruka's. Kain has the ability to conjure and control fire. It has been hinted that Kain has some feelings for Ruka but he has yet to reveal his true feelings to her. His protectiveness over Ruka is the only thing preventing him from fully devoting himself to Kaname like Aido. His Chilean Fire colored hair is wild and all over the place and his eyes are a Pohutukawa in color.

Rima Touya: Rima Touya is one of the youngest Night Class students and she works as a model alongside Senri Shiki. She is 165 cm tall. Rima is smart and usually appears uninterested and indifferent. She is often blunt and has a fairly quick temper. She cares deeply for Shiki and possesses a personality similar to his. Rima possesses lightning or electricity related abilities. She shares a fondness for Pocky with Shiki. Her Tenne (Tawny) hair is styled in two pigtails and her bangs fall over her dark orchid color eyes.

Ruka Souen: Ruka Souen is a female noble vampire who provides a stark contrast to Yuuki Cross. She is 169 cm tall. Her power is to control other vampires into killing each other or themselves. Ruka has been in love with Kaname Kuran since she was a child and thus remains close to him as a faithful friend. However, she ironically remains unaware of Kain's unrequited love for her. She is also long time friends to her cousins Aido and Kain. She has an intense jealousy towards any humans that raise Kaname's interest. Her long wavy hair is honey brown and her bangs that are parted in the middle fall over her hazel brown eyes.

Seien: Seiren is a student of the Night Class, and is Kaname's unofficial bodyguard. She is usually the first to defend Kaname from anyone regarded as a threat to his safety. She threatens to kill Zero when he threatens Kaname with the Bloody Rose. Seiren also appears to serve Kaname in the capacity of a spy or informant. She practices martial arts to use herself as a weapon against enemies mainly focusing on her intensely sharp finger nails. Her violet hair is cut into a bob and is pin-straight with bangs falling over her Han purple eyes.

Senri Shiki: One of the youngest Night Class members, he works as a model with Rima. When the night class is given orders to hunt down a level E vampire, Shiki is usually the one seen out hunting the level E vampires. He has a whip-like weapon which develops from his blood. Shiki possesses a personality similar to Rima Toya. He is usually impassive, and often detached to the rest of the vampires except for Rima and Ichigo. He rarely expresses emotion, and may seem like he doesn't care about his surroundings. Because of his reserved nature, he keeps to himself, and never has much to say. He has Baker's chocolate colored hair and blue eyes clearer than the clearest of lake.

Takuma Ichiyo: Takuma Ichijo is the vice-president of the Night Class. He is a noble-class vampire nearly as powerful as Kaname, whom he is close to and respects. With his cheerful and enthusiastic demeanor, Ichijo appears very "un-vampire like", lacking the dark atmosphere that surrounds most vampires and making him appear more like a human. Ichijo maintains a close friendship with Senri Shiki. Ichijo is ordered by his grandfather Asato Ichijo to spy on Kaname while attending Cross Academy but refuses out of loyalty for his friend. Takuma has blonde hair with bangs that fall over his Kelly green eyes.

The Cheerleaders

I'm not too fond of them so I'll make it quick.

They are rich and sexy and love nothing more than flaunt it as if there is no one out there prettier than them. The clothes they wear would even make your average hooker look like a saint! There boobs just suddenly got bigger from A-cups to F-cups(obviously they had plastic surgery), and their butts are all over the place.

Cheerleaders are also people who strive to get the Populars to notice them. Except that theyact sexy, failing miserably every time, making themselves look like total dorks. But they never seem to learn a lesson.

Rumor has it that they do it with at least a dozen people every single day! I wonder sometimes if they have STD by now!

The cheer leaders at the beginning of the story are:-

Amaterasu Ayako: Her golden blonde hair is always styled in a two ponytails with two red ribbons. Her eyes are Jazz berry jam colored. She loves anything that is skimpy. Her uniform skirt is always hiked up inches higher than it should be and the top is unbuttoned, the tie loosely hanging from her neck. Ami is a complete shopaholic and nasty to the power infinity. When she talks about "her" Kaname-kun, no one can stop her.

Leiko Mai: Tropical Rain Forest green colored bob hair with long bangs parted in the middle framing her Shamrock green eyes. Her Shamrock green eyes are probably the other most noticeable feature (the first being her absurd hair color). Leiko is slightly nicer, compared to Ami. She is also a crazy shopaholic like her friends. Her uniform skirt is so up her thigh, you can see her throngs when she struts (or tries to) in the hallway. She's head-over-heels obsessed with Aido "Idol" Hanabusa.

Hamako Kaoru: Deep Koamaru haired, midnight blue eyed bitch. Has a strange fetish for lacey throngs. Her love interest (cough cough obsessed) is Senri Shiki. She would, if given her way with the prefects, follow him everywhere. She loves Pocky (strangely, right after she saw Shiki and Rima sharing one).

Akane Karin: She has long curly red that reaches up to her butt and her eyes are a mesmerizing shade of Persian red (that are obviously contact lenses since that shade of red does not exist in the form of an eye color - even in anime!). She is not that much of a shopaholic like her friends, but a shopaholic nonetheless! She has a crush is on Akatsuki "Wild" Kain.

Hajime Fukiko: She has Castro colored hair and honey brown eyes. She is always seen with her two yellow cheer leading pom-poms, shouting out cheers at the top of her lungs! She is nice and almost talk-able when not around her "friends". Kind of a lost puppy if there is no one shouting out orders at her really. Has a thing for Takuma Ichijo.

Next, is one of the In-Between Group

They are smart, elegant and completely down-to-earth. And they are full of secrets! No one in the school, except some in the Night Class, knows anything about them.

They are pretty, no doubt! Although they don't use a lot of layers of makeup, they still manage to bring out their best features to attention! The clothes they wear don't show a lot of skin, leaving some of it to their imagination. Sometimes, their toned stomach can be seen, and other times, it might be a bit of their cleavage, or even their legs, but never all at once!

The girls in this group are full of mysteries! For example, why aren't they part of the top of the chain? What is it that only a few in the Night Class know about them? Why can no boy charm these girls?

The two girls in this group are:

Yuuki Cross: The adopted 15-year-old first year daughter of the Headmaster Kaien of Cross Academy who wields the Artemis rod, an anti-vampire weapon given to her by Kaien Cross. She is a Guardian protecting the vampire students' secret from the human students. Yuuki is close to Zero Kiryū, and comforted him when he needed some one the most; the reason why he vowed to protect her from any danger (including Kaname Kuran). Her other significant relationship is with Kaname Kuran, whom she has been in love with since he saved her as a young child. She is generally a kind, caring, cheerful, crazy and comedic character, but she is very naive and careless girl, often portrayed as not being very smart, being a poor student due to the fact that she is a Guardian at night and student in the daytime, giving her little time to study and sleep. She is often kept ignorant by other characters who know more about on-goings, which results in her character feeling guilty for being unaware of the suffering of other characters. Yuuki is a healing and soothing character, who exemplifies her justice side. Her medium length hair is Temptress colored and her eyes are a shade of Bordeaux.

Sayori Wakaba: Sayori "Yori" Wakaba has been Yuuki's best friend since Junior High School. She has a fiance. Yori is a very perceptive girl who finds the aura of the Night Class to be scary. She is one of the few girls with no interest in the Night Class and not intimidated by Zero, frequently joining Yuuki to tease him while maintaining that Yuuki is the only one capable of dealing with him. She is also a daughter of an important official. Yori's hair is a rich shade of hazel and her large eyes are a lovely honey brown.

Here are some other characters that aren't necessarily in any group but are important nonetheless.

Zero Kiryū: Zero Kiryu is unique being both a Vampire Hunter and a vampire. Yuuki's close friend and a Cross Academy Guardian, he was trained to be a Vampire Hunter at a young age. Zero carries the anti-vampire gun called "Bloody Rose". Zero lives with Kaien Cross and Yuuki, after being bitten by a pure blood vampire who also murdered his family. Due to the attack, Zero developed a deep hatred and distrust of vampires, despite originally being a gentle character by nature. Zero is best described as an exemplifying hesitant nature.

Kaien Cross: Kaien Cross is over 200 years old, the oldest and most powerful known Vampire Hunter, nicknamed "The Fangless Vampire". In spite of being a vampire hunter, Kaien maintained friendships with several pure blood vampire families, especially the Kurans. Kaien adopted Yuuki and also took Zero and Saboten into his home after they lost their families. Kaien retired as a vampire hunter and became the Headmaster of Cross Academy, he established the Day Class and Night Class with Kaname Kuran with dreams of promoting peace between humans and vampires. Kaien is an eccentric character who often provokes Zero and irritates other characters with his silly mannerisms, though he is a serious character when it comes to matters he cares about. He carries a hidden anti-vampire weapon in his cane. He was in love with Juri Kuran, though never mentioned directly.

So, Dearest Readers. These are the important groups and the people in them. I hope you are excited about reading this story. So, until next time :)

P.S New characters updates and character appearances (of OC'c) will occur. I will put up an alert whenever it has so you will be aware of these changes!
