An upper-floor roomate and sort of self-made housekeeper. She is a timid homebody who's good at cooking and making the house look pretty. She fawns over Misaki, totally oblivious to any bad business, and Misaki fawns over her even more because she's nice to have around. Okay, she tries a little too hard to get Misaki to brush her hair sometimes, but her lack of force makes life easy. It is because of Miss Three's assistance that Misaki can continue to live under RR’s roof.

The only point of contention (not worth bringing up with Miss Three herself, of course!) is that she’s even more defenseless and soft-hearted than RR. Luckily she's rather easy to fool and prefers to stay indoors and within their neighborhood, or she might catch Misaki leaping buildings after a shifter one night, and probably pass out in terror.

Quiet ex-army guy who works at the same university as RR, Misaki met him while hanging around in the mailroom and asked RR to lend him a room in their house; now he boards with them a few times a year, whenever he isn't traveling around doing deliveries for work.

He has a ton of patience and never lashes out at people annoying him, talking over him or even attacking him. The kids at school think he's cool. He seems strong but pretends not to be, which is cool to her. He coaches Misaki in combat techniques, and although it's pretty slow to do things his way, he probably knows what he's doing and it's helped a bit with handling her fire (she doesn't want him to see her losing control of that, somehow it's even more embarassing than Miss Three or RR or K seeing). Sometimes he inspires Misaki to try meditation, but sitting still for so long is difficult.

Misaki's wide eyed classmate who happens to live on the same street. Him being a goody-two shoes animal-lover, Misaki was happy to let him tag along. He'd be the perfect smokescreen: hanging out with the neighbor would make RR and Miss Three happy, and simple, inoffensive K complemented her cute kid persona. The only problem? Well, that cliched heart of his was stronger than she expected... by instinct or otherwise, K seems to catch onto her nightly firestarter activities and naturally takes it upon himself to whine about being careful, not hurting anybody (as if that wasn't the point), and meddling when he works up the guts (more often than she'd like). Unfortunately for someone so sensitive he seems to lack any sense of self-preservation and can't seem to understand that he's just giving her something else to worry about. Maybe he hopes he can play hero, 'save the shifters' and 'bring world peace' or whatever hopeless fantasy he's holding onto, but she won't give him the satisfaction.

During schooldays, she plays nice and K naively falls for it every time. She gets revenges in little ways, dragging him into pranks and tussles, but K seems to coast through everyday troubles without worry... and taking things further, actually trying to harm him (or do something like make him fail classes) would be pretty pointless. At least he's not the worst person to have on her side. He's a patient listener, is perhaps overly forgiving, can defend himself from meagre schoolyard bullies, and can keep a secret well. For better or worse, he'd never do something so devious as tattle on his friend who seriously asks him otherwise. And yeah, he is getting stronger, albeit not fast enough. It's too bad she doesn't have time to wait around.

Awkward fact: Misaki's family call her Misa, as will Pal sometimes. But K always calls her Misaki... because his mom is called Misa.

A shy kid who shares a few of their classes, a third wheel to Misaki and K's everyday shenanigans. Pal is kind of an oddity; she's a fearless master to all kinds of animals, seems to live alone and work all kinds of cool odd jobs, but cowers the moment some mean classmate yells in her direction. Misaki has spent quite a bit of time chasing off bullies and trying to convince her it's OK to hit back, although Pal would clearly never do such a thing. Though she seems easy to push around, Pal is far more indepent than K is, and uninterested in justice or morals. She is apathetic even as Misaki's nightly 'garbage runs' come to light for her, almost seeming to be supportive of the lengths Misaki will go to to protect what's hers.

Pal's honest ambivalence is intriguing and it's something of an ongoing to challenge to rile her up and Misaki hasn't quite succeeded yet. That, and the occasions Pal does bring in one of her lizards and inadvertently terrorizes the class, keeps Misaki amused, enough to get over the frustration over how wimpy Pal can be in mundane situations.

A Life Fountain who works somewhere in the city. A big guy, powerful enough to match Misaki's aura, and knows a lot about shapeshifters for some reason! He's just too lazy to try doing anything about of it. Not to sound like one of those boring teachers, but he could be a lot of help if he learned to apply himself.

Misaki's targets were largely the big-eaters - careless, overly bloodthirsty shifters. The major exception, and what wouldhave been her biggest catch, was Fen, the young model/idol/media darling who she was initially sneaking after out of spite for his fans among her classmates. (What's so cool about this guy?) But she spots him changing form shortly before merging into a crowd by Central's docks and the penny drops. As a highly public figure in his default persona, and an expert at blending into crowds when he drops the act, Fen would be hard to catch in isolation, so she chooses to strike a smallish meeting in a largely empty building - but Fen escaped the flames with the surprise appearance of a very powerful ally.

Unused to losing a target and bitter about the failure of her and her predecessors to let such a monster set down his roots, Misaki holds him in both high regard and total hatred. He didn't even escape on his own power! With Fen buckling down on security, making louder and clearer proclaimations of not being a shifter (those idiot doctors and scientists and corporations must be in on it too), and only becoming a bigger superstar as days go by, Misaki knows she's going to have a big challenge on her hands, one too dangerous to share. Not that she's got any concrete proof beyond her own two eyes... While mulling over her next moves, she occasionally leaves accusations on his social profiles. But in a sea of trolls and other combative users, her truth is drowned out. Just how far have Shifters seeped into things?
