Kanna is a young girl also known as Kannabi no Mikoto, since '-bi no mikoto' is the formal suffix given to all winged beings. She is one of the last winged beings in history. Kanna was deified out of fear for the awesome power inherent in all of her kind, so from birth, Kanna had been kept in isolated areas away from the general populace.
~!Not long after meeting Ryuya and Uraha, she escaped with them in order to find her mother, the only other winged being left. While not knowing much about the outside world, Kanna adamantly took up learning how to juggle in the hope that she would one day be able to show her mother upon their reunion. As she traveled with her guardians, Kanna began to develop feelings for Ryuya, and when the party became surrounded by guards, she took to the sky as a diversion after surrounding Ryuya and Uraha with a protective shield. While in the air, Buddhist monks cast a spell that bound her into a cycle of eternal reincarnation and suffering that Ryuya fought to break until his death, leaving it up to his descendants to find a way to free Kanna, a cycle which culminated in his descendant, Yukito, and the girl, Misuzu.!~

An android built in the image of the deceased granddaughter of Kyusaku Natsume&#039;s mentor, Eimi is emotionally, mentally, and physically unstable. Built in the image of a girl around Ryu&#039;s age, Eimi&#039;s activation resulted in an explosion that killed her grandfather leaving her legally the property of Akiko&#039;s company. Suffering from multiple sources of psychological trauma on top (or maybe because of) of her faulty design, Eimi&#039;s single fixation is taking Nuku Nuku&#039;s body for herself. (Eimi&#039;s own body doomed to detonate if pushed beyond its limit due a faulty or perhaps non-existent cooling system.) Eimi openly admits she has no idea how to download her OS into Nuku Nuku&#039;s hardware (not knowing Nuku Nuku&#039;s brain is biological and not software driven like Eimi&#039;s own), but is driven by a lack of a better plan and a superiority-inferiority complex she suffers from Nuku Nuku. Nuku Nuku for her part would love nothing more than to be Eimi&#039;s friend. Eimi admitted to having feelings for Ryu, but brushed off her own emotions as meaningless since like everything else about her is just a software parlor trick, and wrote an apology to Ryu for feeling such &#039;fake&#039; emotions towards him. A drama queen and an irrepressible hot-head, Eimi is able to think ahead and be clever but often lets her own impatience get the better of her.

A young and free-Spirited Tuskan girl with a tragic past. Mirette was born with the Key Spirit, Jumamis, already inside her body. As such Mirette was dubbed the &#039;savior&#039; of Tusk. Since the day of her birth, she has been isolated and confined to a small tower above the Tusk Palace, where she can be kept &#039;safe&#039;. Though she has been visited by all of the four ministers, it is Gitra that is her primary guardian. She enjoys listening to the music that Gitra plays on a large pipe organ that she can hear from her room. Later, after expressing a desire to see a real sky, Morima gives her two &#039;move shards&#039; that allows her to escape the castle. She explored the area around her, wide-eyed at all the things she has heard of, but never seen. She eventually encountered a man named Doruga, who showed her the insides of Tote&#039;s Cave, which resembles a night sky. Mirette was eventually found by Tusk soldiers in Gitra&#039;s care, but escapes again where she runs into Zed, who had just arrived in Tusk.    When Zed returns and reveals that he not only failed to get the other key Spirits, but also lost his own,Mirette decides to return to the palace. She feels that Zed&#039;s failure is a sign that she can&#039;t escape her &#039;destiny&#039;. Zed has a private moment with her and gets her to confess that she truly doesn&#039;t want to be a &#039;savior&#039;, but she also doesn&#039;t want to run anymore. Zed asks her to let him take her burden, but she runs off before giving him an answer. Wanting to see Doruga and the &#039;stars&#039; again, she returns to Tote&#039;s Cave and finds Lord Doruga there. She is at first happy, but her joy then turns to horror as Dolga demands she give him her key Spirit. Zed and Gitra arrive, but then Xeem and several squads of Tusk soldiers also arrive.    As a battle prepares to begin, Mirette&#039;s sorrow and shock at what&#039;s happening causes her own key Spirit, Jumamis, to awaken and emerge. The Spirit then draws all the other key shards to it and the shards revolve around in the air. Then all six key shards descend and enter Mirette&#039;s body. As the others look on, Mirette is surrounded by a black haze and a massive black Spirit, with long gray wings covering its face, appears. Xeem says that the Spirit is the true form of the combined key Spirits, Tasker. Although, Mirette was unable to handle the resurrection of Tasker. When the key Spirits left her body and went to Noa, she woke up without her memories. Gitra becomes her caregiver, taking her on a journey to see the world.    (Source: Wikipedia)

Hermes is a talking motorrad who travels with [Kino](https://anilist.co/character/87/Kino) to various countries and lands.

Hermes was found broken in an alley by the original [Kino](https://anilist.co/character/3872/Kino) during his stay in the Land of Adults. The original Kino and the then eleven-year-old child fixed him, although at the time Hermes could not talk to them. The original Kino decided to give him the name Hermes, after their previous motorrad.

~!After the original Kino is killed, [Kino](https://anilist.co/character/87/Kino) uses Hermes to escape the Land of Adults. They keep riding until they collapse into a field filled with flowers. Hermes calls them Kino, believing that to be their name, and they decide to accept the new name to honour their saviour's death.!~

Hermes is often pessimistically realist, unbiased, and usually comes across as the comic relief character. He has a tendency to complain, which sometimes annoys Kino. Despite this, he is a very reliable companion both mentally and physically, as he is the only person who Kino can speak with about their innermost thoughts. He is naive and innocent in many ways, often believing things that are only meant as a joke. He also has a habit of trying to state famous quotes, but usually forgets or changes them, prompting Kino to correct him. Although Hermes can be interpreted as a caring companion towards Kino, Hermes however does not care whoever his rider is. His sole purpose is to provide speed while a rider provides him with a direction and balance. If Kino were to be killed, he would have to wait for an extended period of time before another traveler utilizes him as a mode of transportation. Kino is well aware of Hermes's purpose as a motorrad and fiercely protects him from anybody attempting to steal or damage him, as well as themself in order for Hermes to continue having a rider.

Hermes is also extremely intelligent in literal data. He can assess physical situations to an extremely complex degree but is annoyingly vague in expressing it. In the anime, he uses his knowledge to assess a mythical flying machine that was indeed able to fly provided with sufficient thrust.

In [Gakuen Kino](https://anilist.co/manga/41263/Gakuen-Kino/), Hermes is a cell phone strap. He is described as two canvas strips connected by a brass buckle with a Brough Superior SS100 engraved upon it. His personality has not changed.

Her anger lays waste to all who stand before her, but she has a childish personality and mind to go with her childish body. Tarlotte frequently has trouble finding the right words to express herself. While attacking the academy, she absorbs the life energy of the students.

Her Absolute Angel emblem is located on her right thigh. Her tail is merely attached to her underwear, though it does move to her emotions.     Although her design resembles Nekoko from Kannazuki no Miko, Tarlotte&#039;s name reference to the two characters from Kaishaku&#039;s older work, Magical Cat Girl Taruto, Taruto and Charlotte. Taruto&#039;s character is also voiced by Hisayo Mochizuki.
