NEKANE SPRINGFIELD
ネカネ・スプリングフィールド
Negi's cousin (whom he calls older sister, since they grew up together (and even slept in the same bed). She and her parents took the orphaned Negi in after his father disappeared. Six years ago, when demons attacked the village where she and Negi used to live in, she was almost turned to stone while trying to protect Negi from a petrification spell, but was saved by the Thousand Master, her uncle Nagi, just in time. Her legs were turned to stone, however, and broke off. A later shot of her in Volume 10 reveals that her legs have been restored, although it is not clear if they were magically restored, or if she wears prostheses.
Personality
Her gentle personality is largely based on interpretations through disjointed flashbacks, so it is hard to identify precisely what she is like. What has been indicated however is that she took on more of a motherly role in his life. As a side note, Asuna and Nekane feel similarly for Negi.
NEKANE In Other Media
Negima!?: Although initially appearing as a background character, Nekane does gain a greater role in the second anime. As the Star Crystal crisis slowly grows, Nekane chooses to assist her little brother by disguising as the Black Rose Baron, an enigmatic character initially seen not working for either Negi or for the one controlling the crystal. Eventually, Nekane appears as herself to assist Negi and his class in the running of the day-to-day activities, but Negi eventually discovers her secret. However, he is forced to keep Nekane's other identity a secret to protect her and his students.
ANYA COCOLOVA
アンナ•ユリエウナ•ココロウァ
Birthday : 25 November 1992
Overview
Negi's childhood friend that secretly has a crush on Negi and the only other student who graduated with Negi that has been named. Her specialty is fire based magic. Although she lives in Wales she isn't Welsh, but probably Russian, since her entire name is Russian. A year older than Negi, they have been childhood friends for as long as they can remember, and it was noted by Haruna Saotome that Anya is one of the few people who Negi speaks with informally.
It has been indicated that Anya helped Negi pack for his trip to Japan, and her mother was one of the people turned to stone by Wilhelm's attack. During the Legendary Mahora Martial Arts Tournament, Alberio summoned her as she pointed at the cover of the books he was using as his Pactio artifact. She had been working as a fortuneteller in London as an assignment from the Magical Academy before returning to Wales.
As of chapter 179, she has come to Japan to bring Negi back to Wales, but appeared to explode the moment she arrives on a beach and sees Negi with Asuna. Anya appears to be a grumpy girl around Negi, although she also seemed excited at the prospect of him coming back from Japan.
She takes an immediate dislike toward Asuna, and an immediate liking toward Yue and Nodoka, based on their similar small Cup-Size. She stays with Negi and his class as they enjoy a short vacation at a beach resort. It is then revealed in a dreaming memory that after Negi started going to Merdiana, his new serious and studious personality ignited her attraction to him.
Apparently, she has an immediate dislike toward the more well-endowed girls in Negi's class and was unaware that Negi has already made 7 Probationary Contracts, while she herself has none. She later finds out about the contracts, much to her dismay, and worse yet, that Negi has far surpassed her in magic, and isn't helpless without her.
Journey to the Magic World Arc
She finds Negi and tries to bring him back to Wales, however this plan quickly fails. And she begins to dislike many of Negi's students due to them being attractive and having bigger breasts than herself. She does however become friends with Yue and Nodaka. She eventually finds out that Negi has pactios with seven girls while she herself has none and Negi has completely surpassed her in magic. She learns that Negi is not useless without her. She decides to go with Negi and his friends to the magical world.
She was scattered across the Magical World along with everyone else when they arrived at the portal and were attacked by Fate's group. Where Anya ended up and what happened to her during this time is unknown but at some point Anya ended up getting captured by Fate. After Asuna herself was captured by Fate's crew as part of their plan to destroy the Magical World, Anya cared for her(while being forced to wear a maid outfit which she hated). During the time when Fate unlocked Asuna's memories of the past causing her to fall into a state of deep depression, Anya tried to comfort her and soon after was with Asuna when Fate revealed his entire plan and the reasons for it to them. Eventually, Anya is rescued by Kotarou's group, who utilized Natsumi's Pactio item to sneak into where he was being held without being noticed by either Fate or any of the security systems placed near her cell. However, by the time they arrived, Fate has already picked up Asuna to utilize her in the planned attempt to destroy the Magical World. She encounters Negi on a Magic screen and sees the power of Magica Erebea fused with him and takes out Fate's minions. She has show the attraction and love to Negi due to him being 'Cool'.
She tries to save Asuna with the others but is quickly defeated by Shinrabe.
Abilities/Skills
Fire Magic: Anya is a skilled fire magic user.
Anya in other media
Negima!?: In the second anime version of the series, Anya gains an extremely major role after being a background character for most of this series. Due to how much she missed Negi as well as personal jealousy of his working in an all-girl class, she steals an artifact known as the Star Crystal, notorious in magical abilities that not even Nagi Springfield could control it. When Anya loses control, the effects of the crystal begin to warp Negi and his class back in Wales. Strange fairies that represent the crystal's shards possess his students, yet the ones chosen were connected to her knowledge of Lunar Astrology, tying everything back to her. Once the crystal reunited, she then used it to possess the vampiress Evangeline and destroy everything Negi holds dear, but the effect wears off after Negi is forced to Pactio with Eva. After stealing away Negi, he is finally able to rescue her using a combination of his power and those of all of his Ministra (whom in this series is the entire class).
Negima!? neo: In this alternate manga work by Takuya Fujima, Anya eventually enrolls in Mahora Academy and becomes Student Number 32 in Class 3-A, much to Negi and Asuna's chagrin.She eventually joins the Walking Club after having difficulties in the other clubs and also due to her admiration of Kaede.
Negima!: The Abridged Series: In this series, Anya is, at the moment, a minor charachter. She was seen at the train station seeing Negi off, where she tried to confess her love for him. However, she was constantly interrupted by either Negi or Nekane until Negi left. Her voice is more childish, and she also talks with W's replacing her L's.
ALBERT CHARMOMILE (CHAMO)
カモミール・アルベール (カモ)
A perverted, lingerie stealing, chain-smoking and talking ermine - an ermine elf, akin to a Caith Sith. (Though he has a long, and prehensile tail.) Negi freed Chamo from a trap when he was five years old. Since then, Chamo has been going to Negi whenever he ran into trouble, attempting to provide him with some help and advice.
History
This time, Chamo appeared in Japan after jumping through the barrier, he claimed to have been sent to Negi by his foster sister to help him find a partner, though it was later found out that Chamo escaped from the law for stealing over 3,000 pairs of girls' underwear, and fled to Negi because the law could not arrest him if he were the familiar of a wizard.
He lied to Negi saying he stole them to keep his sick sister warm, which Negi promptly believed, whereupon Negi made Chamo his familiar. (As a side note, being turned into an ermine is one of the punishments that Negi's magic academy gives, although Chamo is actually a type of elf/fairy/Cait Sith).
During his arrival at Mahora, he stripped nearly every girl in the bathing area of her swimsuits. He had also fibbed about being sent by Negi's sister to help Negi find a partner and immediately pointed out Nodoka to be the prime candidate, (an obvious lie at the time, though it is somewhat ironic that she later becomes one of Negi's partners).
He later confronted Yue on her feelings toward Negi, and then urged her to make a Pactio with him, which she eventually did. He has also played a hand in getting Pactios with Konoka, Setsuna, and Haruna, though with Haruna, this may have been out of pure greed to get more Ermine Dollars. Later in the MahoraFest Arc, Chisame was also slowly convinced into making a pactio with Negi.
The more recent Pactios made are with Kaede, Ku Fei, Chachamaru, Ako, Makie, and Yuna. Negi had a pactio with Theo, the third royal princess of Ostia, but Negi was the Ministra in this particular case. As it was only for the duration of the match between him and Jacobus Rakan, it has since been cancelled.
Personality
Chamo cares strongly for Negi and will fight to protect him, but he is not above using him to try to make a fast buck. Chief among those methods is attempting to make probationary contracts between Negi and as many of his students as possible, since the act nets him 50,000 Ermine Dollars per contract. The most prominent attempt was the "Kiss Negi" game he set up in Kyoto with Kazumi, which he rigged with a magic circle around the inn, so that anyone who kissed Negi would trigger a Pactio. The result was one Probationary Contract with Nodoka Miyazaki, and four botched ones (Ayaka, Ku Fei, Makie, and the Narutaki Twins).
His knowledge of magic and such is vast, and he is very resourceful in making up attacks on the spot. For example, his "Ermine Flash" which consists of him setting alight flash bangs with his lighter as a means of distraction. He seems to have considerable computer skills, (such as ordering items online at mahou.net). Chamo acts as Negi's trusty advisor in most things, though there are times his judgement and/or advice leaves much to be desired...
He normally suffers Asuna's wrath whenever his schemes are discovered or he is caught in one of his perverted acts. Chamo addresses Negi as "Aniki" (big brother) and most of the ladies (like Negi's students) as "Ane-san" (big sister, sometimes with slight variations like "Ane-go" and to Nodoka as "Jochan") even though he is most likely older than all of them.
His level of magic is not as great as some of the others, though he has shown some considerable spell casting, chief among them is drawing up magic circles, which is essential for creating Pactios, and casting anti-telepathy spells. He also has the disturbing hobby of keeping track of the girls' feelings for Negi, often to the chagrin of all involved.
