The Chibi Vampire manga series and its light novel adaptation feature a cast of characters created by Yuna Kagesaki.
The series takes place in a fictional Japan where vampires live amongst humans and are slowly dying out from lack of reproduction.
The youngest child in a family of vampires, Karin lives like a normal human teenager, attending school and walking in the daylight with no harm to herself.
Her parents, Henry and Calera Maaka, along with her older brother Ren and younger sister Anju, worry about her unusual nature.
Victor's grandson Winner initially aids him in his quest, but develops feelings for Karin who gave him confidence when he questioned his ability to follow his dreams.
[2] In the anime, if Karin goes too long without biting someone and tries to hold her blood in, she enters a "berserker"-like state and aggressively attacks the first target she can find.
[5] Karin is rendered unconscious for several days after trying to hold in her blood and suffering a massive nosebleed, during which time her family grows increasingly concerned that her condition would kill her.
Her mother journeys to her birthplace in search of answers and learns that Karin is a rare vampiress, called the "Spring of Psyche", that is born when the vampire species is struggling.
[7] After Kenta and the Marker family save Karin from the Brownlicks, her nose-bleeding ceases, leaving her as though she were a normal human, who will likely grow old and die.
at the end of the anime she is still not a full vampiress and is still dealing with her blood-making issue, still has of all her memories and still lives with her family and spends much time with Kenta.
He knew that the vampires, in their greed, would drain Karin of her blood to restore their fertility, so he sought to get first in line, as well as taking the forethought to have her forcefully impregnated to ensure the creation of another Psyche.
At the end of the anime it is shown in a very decisive manner, however, that this 'goal' is born of delusion and general unhappiness with his life and possibly his harsh perceived destiny.
Anju is proficient in the vampiric arts, having a large group of bat familiar spirits who aid in her watch over Karin.
[21] She is initially hurt when Karin tries to force herself to be cheerful about Anju's maturation, but eventually both sisters admit they will miss their times together during the day.
In the anime television series, Anju Maaka is voiced by Yuka Inokuchi in Japanese and Marian Elizabeth Spencer in English.
He greatly fears Elda Marker, whose overly affectionate manner when he was a child causes him to flee at the mere sight or mention of her.
Whether due to how Bridget had almost hurt Karin, the shock of being a father, or he doesn't want the responsibility, Ren is very indifferent to the news and wishes not to discuss it.
He also erased Karin's memories of her family and being a vampiress so that she could live a normal life as a human after she no longer produced excess blood.
Karin Maaka's father, Henry Marker (ヘンリー・マーカー, Henrī Mākā) is a vampire who is portrayed to have a surprisingly human personality; he seems to act in a way one might call "stern."
Henry, like his family, was shocked about Bridget's pregnancy and thought that his son would marry her, which Ren quickly told his father to shut up about.
However, after James tells her all Henry needs is a strong-willed woman to help him become a better vampire, she takes control and becomes determined to make him into a decent husband.
[23] In the anime television series, Calera Maaka is voiced by Emi Shinohara in Japanese and Chio Su Ping in English.
Elda Marker (エルダ・マーカー, Eruda Mākā), Henry's mother, sleeps in a coffin in the basement[23] along with her husband, James, whom she greatly loves.
When she first awakens in the manga, she runs rampant through Karin's school to extract blood for him so he can wake up, but is saddened to learn upon returning home that he had dried up and was dead.
In the anime television series, Elda Maaka is voiced by Yuri Shiratori in Japanese and Denise Tan Shu Fen in English.
The sudden change in his mother's behavior, coupled with the strange marks on her neck, make Kenta suspicious about what Karin did to her that night.
[12] He and Kenta look very much alike, with the exception of a scar above Shusei's left ear, shown in an omake to have been given to him by Fumio at a young age when she pushed him into a jungle gym.
The descendant of Alfred Sinclair, he is a vampire hunter who gained the confidence to follow in his grandfather's steps after he was bitten by Karin when he was a child.
When Elda awakened in the storyline, she discovered he had died in his sleep, apparently due to his reluctance during his lifetime to drink the blood of humans.
Daniel Armash (ダニエル・アルマーシュ, Danieru Arumāshu) is Calera's father and Cecila's husband who adopted her family name to preserve the curse.
