Characters

Character entries always live inside an existing or newly-approved anime or manga. There are no standalone character entries on Waifora.

Name

Native — the character's name in the original script (Japanese, Korean, etc.). This is the canonical field.
Romanised — phonetic romanisation following the rules in General.
English — only when an official English release uses one (anime localisation, licensed manga). Don't translate a Japanese name yourself.
Alternative names — nicknames, titles, aliases, and codename variants that appear in the work. One per line.

Name order follows the source: family name first for Japanese / Korean / Chinese characters, given name first for Western names.

Pick the single role that fits the character within this specific work.

Role	When to use
Main	Protagonist, deuteragonist — drives the central plot.
Supporting	Recurring character with named arcs but not central.
Background	Named one-off or brief appearance.

A character can have different roles across different works — they're filled per media, not globally.

Linked from the Staff entries.
One voice actor per language. A character may have separate Japanese and English VAs — both go on the same character, tagged by language.
No fan-cast voice actors — only credited performers from the official cast list.

A short biography (a paragraph or two). Stick to in-universe facts plus production notes.
Mark spoilers explicitly. A character description that reveals a major plot reveal without a spoiler marker will be edited or rejected.
Don't paste a wiki article in full — link the source instead.

See Images — official character art only.

Gender — pick the canonical option, or leave blank when ambiguous in the work.
Age — only when canonically stated. "Looks teenage" is not enough.
Birthday, blood type, height, hometown — populate when stated in official material; leave blank when not.

When in doubt, leave a field empty rather than guess — moderators can fill missing canonical attributes from sourced material later.
