*A group for anyone who loves Prétear, the manga, the anime, or both! And I wasn't allowed to put the "é" in the name :(

Prétear is about a girl named Himeno Awayuki who aims to live a happy life especially after the death of her mother. Himeno meets Hayate, and eventually discovers that he is one of the seven Leafe Knights. The group consists of Hayate (Knight of Wind), Sasame (Knight of Sound), Goh (Knight of Fire), Kei (Knight of Light), Mannen (Knight of Ice), Hajime (Knight of Water), and Shin (Knight of Plants). The knights explain that Takako (or Fenrir), the 'Princess of Calamity', or 'Princess of Disaster' in the ADV translations, escaped and sent demon larvae (monster worms in Odex translations) to Himeno's town, and that the Leafe, which the larvae are absorbing, is the energy for all life itself. The only way to destroy the demons is for Himeno to become the Prétear and fight them alongside the Leafe Knights. (Taken from Wikipedia!)

Mayune Awayuki
Age: 16 years old [same as Himeno]
Mayune is the same age as Himeno and is the eldest daughter of Natsue and holds a pretentious attitude toward Himeno for coming from an impoverished family. Mayune often plays practical jokes to demean Himeno, including tampering with the dining room chairs and setting traps throughout the mansion grounds. Mayune's spiteful attitude comes from her great jealousy of Himeno. By the end of the series however, Mayune and Himeno reconcile after Himeno saves Mawata from the Great Tree of Fenrir.She is named after the character 'Mayune' in Kaoru Awayuki's book, 'The Twin Princesses'.
Mayune falls in love with various leafe knights during the anime, but they always manage to escape before she can seduce them. When she sees them (especially Hayate) later in the story, she does all that she can to make them mad.


Mawata Awayuki
Age: 14 years old
Intelligent and composed, Mawata is the seemingly perfect child of the family. However, her outwardly calm demeanor is used as a facade to hide her loneliness and mask her own sense of loss as a result of her father's death. Her only outlet for her emotions are the postcards she sends to Sasame, under the pen name "Miss Silk". Ultimately, Mawata's grief is used by Fenrir to fuel the Great Tree of Fenrir. Named after the character 'Mawata' from Kaoru's book, 'Twin Princesses'.


Kaoru Awayuki
An author of romance novels, before marrying Natsue, Kaoru spent much of his time drinking sake while Himeno balanced the budget and cooked their meals. He stopped writing due to Himeno's mother's death. After he married Natsue, Kaoru spends much of his free time sculpting. In particular, after a comment by Hayate calling Himeno "Tulip Head", Kaoru set out to sculpt a Tulip in dedication to her, which Himeno laments, and ultimately destroys.


Natsue Awayuki
Age: 38
Apowerful executive, after her marriage to Kaoru Awayuki, much of the town's businesses were also renamed. Natsue runs a large make-up company. At the death of her former husband, Natsue relied on the strength of her daughter Mawata. Natsue fell in love with Kaoru at a young age, loving his shojo-genre books. She only exposes her soft-side to Kaoru while dealing with everyone else with a strict decorum. Natsue even named her two daughters, Mawata and Mayune, after the characters in her favorite book by Kaoru, 'Twin Princesses'. In the Manga, Natsue is possessed by the Princess of Disaster; her hatred is fueled by her jealousy of her husband's ex wife and daughter. Natsue feels she can never live up to Himeno's mother because Kaoru only wrote romantic novels for her, and stopped after her death.


Yayoi Takato
Yayoi is Himeno's schoolmate and friend. Yayoi adores romance novels, as is illustrated by her attempt to publish her own novel based on Mr. Tanaka's unrequieted love, and her hopes of becoming Kaoru's apprentice, which is shut down by Himeno.


Takako
a.k.a. Mikage
a.k.a. Fenrir, the Princess of Disaster
Mikage is one of the maids at the Awayuki estate. She is often seen throughout the series helping Himeno, including providing advice. However, she is found out by Sasame that she is in fact Takako, the former Prétear.
Takako was the former Prétear and was in love with Hayate. When Hayate confessed that he did not reciprocate her love, Takako's powers as Prétear turned towards evil, thus becoming Fenrir, the Princess of Disaster. As Fenrir, Takako's ultimate goal was to destroy the world by taking away the Leafe that preserved all life. She employs the use of Demon Larvae, Transport demon (which look like dark purple Butterflies), and eventually Sasame, when he became her Knight of Darkness, to obtain her goal. After she comes back to her senses after Himeno preaching to her and becomes 'good' again, Takako returns to being a normal human, and is assumed to be an item with Sasame.
