Rin, a student at the National Verbena Academy in class 2C, may not be the sharpest tool in the shed academically, but he certainly hits the ball out of the park on the athletic field. Tragically, a bolt from the blue struck eight years earlier when his parents perished in a car accident. In the aftermath, the Fuyou family generously took him under their wing. Then, on a red-letter day in June, his life took another turn. Both Lisianthus, the Divine Princess, and Nerine, the Demon Princess, made a splash by transferring to his school. Suddenly, Rin found himself between a rock and a hard place, seen as a potential spouse for both princesses. This twist positioned him as "A man who can become a god, a demon, or an ordinary man." With the ball in his court, envy grew like wildfire among the male students who admired Fuyo Kaede, Lisianthus, and Nerine. Yet, Rin remained blissfully in the dark about his burgeoning popularity. Little did he know that clandestine photos of him were fetching prices worth their weight in gold on the black market. In contrast to this chaotic social scene, Rin's character shone brightly. He always went the extra mile for others, placing their needs above his own. He'd jump through hoops to support those around him and despised showing his cards by appearing vulnerable. However, at home, it was a different ball game. Rin was like a fish out of water regarding domestic tasks. Here, Kaede pulled the strings, managing chores and often playing the role of the early bird, waking up the ever-tardy Rin. "I'm confident that no one can beat my endurance."

Rin's childhood friend and classmate. Kaede's mother passed away in the same accident that claimed both Rin's parents; they've lived under the same roof since then.

Rin's childhood friend and classmate. Kaede's mother passed away in the same accident that claimed both Rin's parents; they've lived under the same roof since then. She is an ideal woman—brilliant, athletic, attractive, and capable in the home—and one-third of the male students at her school worship her. Still, she prioritizes Rin over and above herself. Kaede was crowned "Miss Verbena" at last year's cultural festival. Furthermore, after the arrival of the devil and god princesses, Sia and Nerine, she has also taken on the title of "Princess of the Human World."

Kikyou is Sia twin sister that was meant to be born with her but she couldn't survive so Sia decided to save Kikyou by allowing Kikyou's soul to reside inside of her own. Kikyou emerges (takes control of Sia's body) when Sia is depressed or when she feels that Sia should be more aggressive to Rin. In Shuffle! Essence+, Kikyou gets an extended ending where she and Sia are able to be separated and thereby co-exist together.

Sia, for short; she is the only daughter of the King of the Gods. The single memory of her childhood meeting with Rin has brought her to the Human world. Bright and energetic, her outgoing personality lets her talk at ease with anyone she meets and quickly sets the mood in conversation. She is good at housework and sports, but studying isn't her forte. She is also known to beat her father with a chair from time to time if he gets out of control.

Rin, for short, is the only daughter of the King of the Devils. Like Lisianthus, the memories of her childhood with Rin have brought her to the Human world.

Primula is the third experimental subject and the first homunculus developed from the ground up as part of a collaborative effort between the Divine and Demon Realms. To meet "Rin," whom Nerine had often told her about in the demon realm, she escaped and came to the human world. The Fuyou family cared for her since she insisted on staying with Rin. Primula is a lovely girl with a doll-like complexion, and despite her childlike appearance, she is only one year younger than Rin. While possessing the most potent magical power, Primula has little control. She could quickly annihilate one of the prefectures if she is not cautious. Likewise, the young lady doesn't know much about things other than magic, so she can't express her feelings properly. Her favorite food is cheesecake.

♀ f

Kaede and Rin’s mutual childhood friend; a modest and calm girl. She’s sensitive to the mood around her and good at listening to the troubles of others but is a lost cause when it comes to herself. She gets flustered and panics. At present, she attends a different academy from the two of them.

Mayumi is a human-devil hybrid who is Kaede and Rin’s classmate. A curious person and rushes into anything and often becomes a troublemaker. She always carried a digital camera around to satisfy her curiosity. She is a pretty and stylish girl; however, she has an inferiority complex related to her chests that are even smaller than Primula's. Her grades are so low that she joins supplementary classes regularly, but she is quite knowledgeable about trivial matters. Mayumi is also a skilled negotiator.

Itsuki Midoriba is Rin's "bad" friend and classmate. Being the womanizer of the class, he is envious of the girls' attraction to Rin and often mentions that he will look after the girls Rin does not pick.

The homeroom teacher of Rin's class in charge of worlds history (the worlds here refer to the "human world," the "divine world," and the "demon world"). Nadeshiko is a passionate teacher who loves honesty, perseverance, hard work, and friendship. In addition, she is not only strict but also flexible depending on the situation. She has the guts to hold her own against the Divine and the Demon King when the situation demands it. Despite the fact that she is a teacher, Nadeshiko was named third runner-up in the "Miss Verbena" event at the school festival last year. Because of her looks and personality, she is very popular among the students. She addresses all of her students by their first names except Rin, whom she calls as "Tsuchii." It seems that she has been picked up hundreds of times, and she doesn't budge even when the Demon King tries to seduce her. It is no exaggeration to say that her hobbies are to measure men's value. Ironically, however, she has no romantic experience and is naive.

She is an excellent housemaker and good at hiding her feeling, especially towards Forbesii, to whom her whole heart is dedicated.
