The Miyagusuku Family

• Saya (Otonashi Saya) - Saya appears to be a high school girl living a normal life on the Japanese island of Okinawa. She is adopted and has no memory of her life before one year ago; however, she does suffer from some flashbacks of images from her time in the Vietnam War where she fought against the Chiropterans. This would make her at least thirty years old, despite her outward appearance of a young girl. She is a skilled athlete and her weapon of choice is a sword.
• George Miyagusuku - An Okinawan-American US Army veteran, he served in the Vietnam War and now lives on Okinawa with his adopted children Saya, Kai and Riku. He lost his wife and biological children in an accident years before. Later in the series, after becoming a Chiropteran himself, he asks Saya to kill him, and she reluctantly does it.

• Kai - Brother of Saya. Kai is one of the most popular students at school and a star athlete. He stopped playing baseball when one of his arms sustained an injury.
• Riku - Brother of Saya. A very obedient boy who loves to cook. He usually does most of the household work.

The Mystery Man

• Hagi - The mysterious servant and "chevalier" of Saya. He is partly instrumental in Saya's "awakening". It was revealed in episode 13 that thirty years prior, he also was in Vietnam. His right arm is covered in bandages and hides some visibly Chiropteran-like features. He is shown to be an excellent cello player and is often seen with a cello case in which he hides Saya's sword.

The Red Shield

• David - David is a member of Red Shield, an organisation formed to track down and destroy Chiropterans. He is aware of Saya's past life and wishes to use her in the struggle against the Chiropteran.
• Julia - A member of the Red Shield. She often accompanies David and was Saya's doctor when she was dormant. In earlier episodes, she is seen to have hooked up Saya to a blood bag, possibly as Saya's sustenance.

Monsters

• Chiropterans - Chiropterans are bat-like creatures whose origin are not known. It is later revealed in the series that the US military were responsible for the recent spike of chiropteran activity. They posses superhuman strength, speed and regenerating ability. They are also capable of flight by metamorphosing their forelimbs into wings. In the film Blood: The Last Vampire, Saya notes that using an efficient slicing weapon to cause profuse bleeding is the only way to defeat them. This is later changed in the series so that only Saya's blood can destroy them.
