Characters

Main characters

Kate Hoshimiya (星宮ケイト) / Lady Venera (ヴィニエイラ様)
A young girl of undisclosed age, and the leader of Zvezda (Russian for "star"), a secret organization bent on conquering the world. Despite usually behaving as a child her age, Kate has a group of loyal followers that gathered around her out of respect, friendship or fear. She also possesses the secret power of persuading every being with a human heart to do her bidding. It is later revealed, that she is immortal resp. ageless and was the leader of Zvezda since countless millennia.

Asuta Jimon (地紋明日汰) / Dva (ドヴァー)
Asuta is a second-year middle school student who ran away from home. After running into Kate and getting caught in one of Zvezda's conquests, he became a member of Zvezda. A running gag is how people he meets pronounce his name wrong, calling him Jimon Asatte (meaning day after tomorrow) or Jimon Shiasatte (meaning two days from tomorrow). Having no fighting power at all unlike his peers, Asuta becomes useful to Zvezda by his cooking skills; he nevertheless possess inexplicable skills at survival, often demonstrated by his repeated success at escaping with his life every time White Heron targets him. His Zvezda alter-ego, Dva, unintentionally won White Robin's heart after he saved her from being publicly humiliated by Zvezda. It is later revealed that he is the son of the governor of Tokyo. The name Dva if translated from Russian to English is the number two. So Asuta is literally Kate's #2 henchman.

Zvezda

A girl wearing an eye patch. She is the vanguard of the group and fights with a sword. She is Goro's daughter.

Shikabane is shown to have very poor culinary skills (her food actually make Asuta feel as though the world just ended after he tried it), and as a result, many of Zvezda's members skip dinner when she is cooking.

The self proclaimed "chief soldier" of Zvezda. In reality, Yasu is the only other low rank soldier other than Asuta Jimon. He has a tendency to get into trouble using Natasha's technology. Yasu is addicted to cigarettes, much to the resent of his fellow Zvezda members. He says he smokes them to uphold the "bad-boy image" he has worked hard to achieve. His loyalty to Zvezda stems from a fear of Kate Hoshimiya.

Goro Shikabane (鹿羽吾郎) / General Pepel (ピェーペル将軍)
The largest member of Zvezda, Goro Shikabane utilizes handheld explosives to fight against his opponents. He is Itsuka's father. It is shown that he and Yasu Morozumi were gangsters in the past, with Yasu working under Goro.

She is clumsy at school, which she attributes to fatigue from her work as White Robin. Together with Miki, she is tasked with stopping Zvezda's world conquest. Despite her desire to bring justice, she is willing to disobey her superiors if she believes that their orders are unjust.

Miki Shirasagi (白鷺美酒) / White Egret (ホワイトイーグレット)
Another one of Asuta's classmates. She is secretly Sergeant White Egret, a member of White Light and is a proficient fighter, capable of taking on both Plamya and General Pepel at the same time.
