Sister Margaret is the Headmistress of West Genetics.

Would-be master of an equally wealthy rival house to the Hanaukyos, annoyed with the condition she would become master of her house if she married the head of the Hanaukyo family. She was even more enraged to find the current head to be a 'whiny midget,' but later grows to like him somewhat. She is a military fan and later strikes up an obsessive competition to beat Mariel and prove herself, to the point of joining the household as a maid. Her bluntness and short temper sometimes comes in handy. Naturally, Ryuuka's home seems to also have a vast staff, but of handsome men rather than cute maids.    (Taken from Wikipedia.org)

A Buddhist 'houshi,' or low-ranking, itinerant monk, Miroku traveled the countryside performing services such as exorcisms and yōkai exterminations to earn his living. He suffers from a hereditary curse originally inflicted upon his grandfather Miyatsu (also a Buddhist monk) by Naraku, who exploited Miyatsu's weakness for attractive women by taking the shape of one, and reflected one of Miyatsu's ofuda back to pierce the palm of his right hand (it appears to be his left hand in the English language manga where right and left are reversed). The hole in his hand became a kazāna (air void or "wind tunnel") which sucks in anything not nailed down, regardless of mass. Miroku uses the kazāna as a powerful weapon against yōkai, but as he grows older, the kazāna grows inevitably larger, and if the curse is not broken by Naraku's death, it will grow too large to control and consume Miroku himself - the same fate his grandfather and his father have already met. Probably as a result of this, Miroku takes a hedonistic approach to life which is uncharacteristic of a proper monk; he is a talented con artist who does not hesitate to invent fictitious supernatural menaces which he can then offer to combat in return for food and shelter, and like his grandfather he has a distinct weakness for pretty women. He makes a point of asking every attractive woman he meets if she will bear his child, claiming that he wants to be sure of an heir to continue his pursuit of Naraku if he dies, and his hands have a seemingly uncontrollable habit of wandering - something which often gets him soundly thumped by Sango, the favorite subject of his groping. However, in spite of his less-than-saintly behavior, Miroku proves to have a core of deep spirituality and, as a result, impressive spiritual powers. ("Miroku" is Japanese for Maitreya.)

Conis is the first person to greet the Straw Hats Pirate Crew once they've reached Skypiea. She becomes an important character in the Skypiea arc because of her interaction with the Straw Hat pirates. Once it is discovered that the crew has not paid Skypiea's exorbitant toll, however, she regretfully follows the mandatory commands from their &quot;god&quot; Enel, which has been placed upon all her people under pain of death. They were not fulfilled and obeyed, and she reports them as trespassers. After this while leading Luffy, Sanji, and Ussop to Upper Yard, Conis under the burden of her betrayal breaks down and tells them the truth. This disloyalty to the god Enel is met with a wave of lightning from the heavens directed toward Conis. Luffy tries to save her but is caught in the middle of it too. Both barely escape with help from Gan Fall &lsquo;knight of the sky. Conis later makes up for her actions, by guiding the Merry Go through Upper Yard, warning her people of Enel's attack, and helping the Straw Hats back down to earth after they had defeated Enel.    Conis is head strong, hopeful, and cares deeply for the well being of others. When first introduced she seems happy, friendly, and acts innocent. After meeting the Straw Hat Pirates she keeps all those things. As she becomes more and more courageous, she speaks her mind and is not being afraid of her people's &quot;God&quot; Enel as they struggle to fight him. She is very good at playing the harp as well as being able to use a Waver. Though she never fought, she carried a Burn Bazooka and knew how to use an array of dials. Because of her musical abilities, it was speculated by fans to be the crew's new musician. However, Conis decided to remain in Skypiea.

Oldest daughter of the Heim family. Though Kihel is a wealthy heiress, she chooses to look for work and gain real-world experience rather than attend university. She sticks close to Guin Lineford during Dianna Counter's first attack and uses the opportunity to become his assistant. Her new position brings her to the attention of the leaders of the Moonrace. Kihel bears a striking resemblance to Dianna Soreil, which allows her to become her double. (Note: Kihel has darker skin and Dianna has lighter eye highlight, but those visual differences are for conveniences of viewers. They have identical appearances in the prospective of characters in the show.) 

She takes Dianna's place at the Queen's behest and, due to events beyond their control, ends up having to impersonate Dianna and lead the Dianna Counter on a long-term basis. The two go on to switch names and roles several times. Kihel and Dianna share many qualities beyond appearance and their ideals are so aligned that for a time they consider themselves a single person. Even so, Kihel has much more energy than Dianna, and does not share Dianna's longing for an ordinary life. She is very good at masking her insecurity over whether or not she can live up to Dianna's example.     

~!Kihel is aware that Harry Ord is using her to draw threats away from the true Dianna. This does not stop her from falling in love with him. She permanently switches places with Dianna at the end of the series, and rules over the Moonrace with Harry at her side.!~

The Queen of the Moon, Dianna Soreil is the hereditary ruler of the Moonrace. Now that the Earth has regenerated from the destruction wrought by the Dark History, she believes that it is time for her subjects to return to Earth. Dianna lands a colonial force on the Earth in the hopes that they will be allowed to live in America&#039;s sparsely-populated sunbelt area. Unfortunately, she fails to take Terran resistance to the migration into account, and does not anticipate that her more ambitious subjects might turn against her in her absence. Events quickly spiral out of her control.    Dianna has lived for centuries using the Moonrace&#039;s cryogenic techniques. Her desire to live on Earth is a product of her weariness with her unchanging life on the Moon. She is an intelligent and commanding leader, but she lacks the drive of her young double, Kihel Heim. Dianna is overjoyed when assuming Kihel&#039;s identity allows her to lead a simple life with Loran. She only returns to the Moon in order to correct the mistakes she made in her rash rush towards repatriation.     ~!At the end of the series Dianna permanently switches places with Kihel, and lives out the rest of her days in a small cabin with Loran.!~

Head mistress of the Firefly House, Yukino found Shichiroji injured in a capsule floating down a river, and gave him a job at the Firefly House. Though the two have a &quot;practically lovers&quot; kind of relationship, they have yet to consider marriage. Yukino teaches Kirara that there is no shame in enjoying a fine meal a letting one&#039;s body and soul rest when Kirara believed that to do so was a dishonor to the sacrifices and hardships of her village.     ~!After rescuing Sanae from the capital, the samurai stop by the Firefly House again, and leaves Sanae in Yukino&#039;s care while they rush to the final battle with Ukyo. After the battle, Shichirojo goes back to the Firefly House to be with Yukino.!~
