She is Mirmo's fiancée, and tries to get along with Mirmo on dates. At times, she may look very cute and innocent, but she can actually be quite aggressive. Rima is not exactly the champion when it comes to magic and household chores, and she even makes magical situations worse if she "helps."

; / Katie Minami : Age: 13-14 : A cheerful and energetic girl and Mirmo's human partner. Though friendly and always willing to help those in need, she can get angry when she is tempted. Katie's main love interest is Dylan Yuki, and is the romantic rival of Azumi. Her results to grab his attention are mediocre as a result of her clumsiness. During season one of the anime, she attended the fairy school with Mirmo, but she is very different in her fairy form compared to the normal citizens of the Fairy World, with fairy wings, a pink fairy outfit, and her instrument, a

stole her soul for Mirmo's chocolates. At the season finale of ''Mirmo Zibang'', Katie struggles to fight for Dylan's love. Unfortunately, Dylan made a decision that broke her heart, by choosing to be with Haruka Morishita. Katie decided to give up her chance of being with Dylan but not her feelings for him. Later on, when Dylan realizes that Katie is the one he really loves, he decided to confess his feelings to her. : In the final episode of the anime, Katie loses Mirmo in replacement for her wish to come true, then finds out that Mirmo never made to the Fairy World and received an extreme punishment. She then tries her best to bring back Mirmo's memories of him being a fairy, and in the end, she gets Mirumo back. In the manga, after she and Dylan become a couple, another tomboy rival named Ryo Sanada appears. (First appearance: episode 1) ; / Dylan Yuki : Age: 13-14 : A smart and quiet bookworm and an honor student, on whom Katie and Azumi have crushes, and who is Rima's partner. Although he is silent, cool, calm and reading most of the time, he's willing to help his friends, even if it embarrasses him. It is a bit mysterious who he liked first, Katie or Azumi, since he went out with Katie in the first season of the anime. He is also afraid to eat green peppers. In the near end of season four, when Haruka Morishita, his childhood friend confesses her strong love for him, he begins to gradually get close to her. When Haruka makes her decision to set Dylan free because she knew that Katie is the one he really loves, she tells Dylan that he should do something or else he will lose the person he wants. After his small argument with Rima, he goes home and he looks like he is thinking of something very deep. He then decides to call Katie and ask her to meet him at the park and asks her if she can bring a watch. At the park he tells Katie about how he feels and finally confesses to her. Gladly, Katie, of course, accepts his proposal. (First appearance: episode 1) ; : Age: 13-14 : Birthday: November 11 : A brash and impatient girl who loves Dylan Yuki and is rivals with Katie. She often beats up Katie whenever she sees Katie with Dylan, usually a funny sneak attack. She can be very vain at times, but helps her friends if she decides to. She's partners (or more like partner-in-crimes) with Yatch since Azumi wants Dylan and hates Katie, just how Yatch hates Mirmo. But most of the time, she leaves Yashichi to do her household chores and treats him like a slave, but seems to have a soft spot for him. She also has a younger brother named Mizuki but is rarely seen. At the near end of anime season four, Azumi challenged Katie to know who really is the right one for Dylan. Katie wins at the end of the battle. Azumi accepted her loss but warned Katie and said that "if she starts doing the wrong thing again, she will never let Katie take that chance again." In the manga, after she broke up with Dylan, she went dating with Sumita and Hirai but failed, and she is the idol of Sazo and Hanzo. (First appearance: episode 1) ; / Kyle Matsutake : Age: 13-14 : A very rich boy who is popular among girls, but he seems to hate it. Kyle's playful attitude makes him friends with Katie (the girl of his dreams) and Mulu. He would do anything (with his gigantic fortune, of course) to be Katie's boyfriend, but her crush on Dylan blocks that, much to Kyle's chagrin. He has his own butler/security guard/caretaker, and relies heavily on him. Although he may not show it, he is a cry baby and spoiled, once when he fell on his rear end, he had an entire set of medical machines and when everyone left, he started bawling, but he can hide it just as fast, like when Katie enters the room. But he is still spoiled, as showed when he met Katie and his heart beat increased, his butler then considered bringing in an entire team of doctors. In the season finale, Kyle managed to propose to Katie, but Katie turned him down, causing him to act and look like an old man (his way of showing his heartbroken self). Katie and Mirmo also concluded that Kyle might still be famous (especially to girls) even in his old days. (First appearance: episode 9)
