Suzaku no Seishi
Yuuki Miaka is a 15-year-old junior high school girl who is transported to the ancient China of the The Four Gods Sky and Earth book. She soon becomes the priestess of the red phoenix. Miaka is rather dim at times, but is also loyal and a good friend. She is
loved by two main male characters, Tamahome and Hotohori, but only truly loves Tamahome. She and Tamahome are the main love interest story in this series.
Tamahome is one of the Suzaku no Seishi. He is 17 years old and a very good thief. Tamahome has superhuman strength, and thus is a well-skilled fighter and martial artist. He is the one who first finds Miaka, and also is in love with her. Although he at first
only appears to be interested in money, his true feelings for Miaka are revealed, as well as a kinder side to him. His sign is "oni," meaning "ogre," and is located on his forehead.
Hotohori is the emperor of the southern region, or Konan Country. He is also in love with Miaka, although she does not return his affection. He likewise does not return the affections of Nuriko, who is in love with him. He is 18 years old and his swordsmanship and leadership are extremely powerful. His sign means "star" and it is located on his neck.
Nuriko is seemingly the only "female" seishi of Konan Country, but actually "she" is a cross-dresser. She is a strong character in both personality and physical prowess. She acts cruelly towards Miaka, but it is later discovered that she is this way because she loves Hotohori. Since Hotohori loves Miaka and not her, she feels jealous and at one point tries to move in on Tamahome to make Miaka jealous. Her real name is Korin and she is 18 years old. Nuriko's sign is "willow" and is located on her chest, above the heart.
Tasuki is a foul-mouthed, ill-tempered ex-bandit. He is 17 years old. His weapon is a flame-throwing iron fan. He likes to fight and says that he hates women. But he does care about his fellow seishi and Suzaku no Miko. His sign is "wing" and is on his forearm.
Chichiri seems young with his high-pitch voice, yet he is actually the oldest of the seven Suzaku no Seishi, as he is 24. He wears a mask that is always smiling to hide the scar on his left eye. Chichiri is a wandering monk and can perform magic. He trained for 3 years with Taitsukun, the overseer of the world. His character is "water well"
on his knee.
Mitsukake is very quiet and keeps to himself. He is very skilled as a healer, and has the power to heal once a day. He isolated himself when his lover, Shoka, died. The seishi find him hiding outside of a small mountain village in the woods acting as a doctor. He comes out of hiding to join the other seishi once they discover him and settle his past turmoil. His character is "sadness" and it is found on his palm.
Chiriko is 13 years old and very small. Despite his small stature, he is very adept at solving problems. He spends his free time studying for civil service exams, in which he scores very high. He is the last seishi to be discovered, and one of the Seriyuu no Seishi is mistaken for him at first. He then arrives and saves the Suzaku no Seishi by
countering the attack. His sign is "stretching," which is located on his foot.
