Main Characters
Maron Kusakabe
The protagonist of the series, Maron is a 16-year-old high school girl and rhythmic gymnast, who can also transform into the supernatural "Kaitou Jeanne". Maron lives in an apartment alone—having been left by her parents, work abroad who are really possessed by demons. She is well liked at school, especially in chapter 11, when lots of guys from her school offer to escort her home on Valentine’s Day, and request chocolate valentines from her. She is also very stubborn and head-strong. Even so, Maron is a lonely young woman who hides her feelings behind a warm smile. Even though she has her parent's phone number and address, she is afraid she would once again be "thrown away" by her parents, and thus doesn't to contact them. The only time she is contacted by her parents is by her mother, in order to tell her they are divorcing. Maron is very close with her best friend Miyako, though she still holds her at a distance. In the beginning, she sees Chiaki as merely a playboy, and refuses to trust him as he had always seemed to be hitting on her. However, after the incident when Maron was told of her parents’ divorce, Chiaki found Maron alone in tears, and he encouraged her to believe in herself. This was a turning point for Maron: Chiaki’s kindness helped her trust others, and it also sparked romantic feelings toward Chiaki. Throughout the series, she tries to confess to him, but something always happens. Finally, in the second last chapter, she confesses to him that she loves him and they even sleep together. Seven years later, Maron married to Chiaki, and has a daughter named Natsuki, who is the reincarnation of Finn.
Before the series began, Maron had encountered a tiny female angel named Finn Fish, who gave her a mission from God to seal away demons. These demons attempt to steal the beauty in human hearts, in order to increase The Devil's powers. Maron was given a mystical rosary with a large crucifix, by which she could transform into Kaitou Jeanne, the reincarnation of Jeanne D'Arc, who then captures the demons. It was said that back in the time when Adam and Eve lived, God fell in love with Eve, but due to the fact that she and Adam ate the forbidden fruit, she loved Adam because she realized the God and humans are different. Seeing them love each other was too painful, so God banished them from the paradise he lived in but gave Eve the power to reincarnate, so he can see her forever, and Adam the strength to protect Eve. To put it simply, since Maron is Jean D'Arc's reincarnation, and Jean D'Arc is one of Eve's reincarnation, Maron is the latest reincarnation of Eve. Jeanne has some different physical features from Maron, and also possesses certain supernatural powers.

Chiaki Nagoya
Chiaki is a guy at Maron's school, who can transform into "Kaitou Sinbad", Jeanne's rival, who also collects the demons' powers. Maron doesn't realize Sinbad is really Chiaki, but he already knows of her double-identity. At the very beginning of the series, Chiaki moves into Maron's and Miyako's building, conviniently right next to Maron's apartment, and transfers to their class, in order to get close to Maron, to stop her from collecting the demons. At first, Chiaki is portrayed as a playboy, whom Maron despises. However, as time passes, he falls in love with her, and he's able to gain Maron's trust, and eventually love, by helping her out of tough situations, and helping her regain her courage--both as Chiaki and as Sinbad. After Chiaki catches Maron staring sadly at her empty mailbox, he begins dropping her "useless" notes, as one of his many ways of trying to cheer her. Like Maron, Chiaki lives alone, having run away because he was tired of his father's continuing to marry new women after his mother's death. He later reconciles with his father, after finding out that his father only married those women because Chiaki was in need of a mother, though he said that there is no other woman that he could love more than his mother.
Chiaki, too, is accompanied by a small male angel, Access Time, who gave him the power to become Kaitou Sinbad. It is eventually revealed that Chiaki had been attempting to stop Maron, because he knew of Finn's being an agent for The Devil, rather than for God, and was using Maron to help him. He had wanted to seduce her in order to make her stop, but he began to find himself blushing each time Maron smiled to him, which he tried to lie to himself by telling himself that it is just "false affection" (in the manga), or that he was being moody (in the anime). After Maron discovers he was also Kaitou Sinbad, and that he was just trying to seduce her to make her stop being a Kaitou, he realizes his affection for her, and fights to regain her trust, continuing to protect her through her journey, yet also trying to stop her from collecting any more demons. In the second last chapter, he is overjoyed when she confesses her love to him and confesses to her, telling her that he loved her too, and they even sleep together. When he and Maron were about to go back to Earth after the last battle, God said that Chiaki's strength, both physical and his heart, is almost like the strength He gave Adam to protect Eve and tells him to take good care of Maron from that moment on.
Seven years later, Chiaki is 24 years old, a doctor in training, married to Maron, and has a daughter named Natsuki who is Finn's reincarnation. Even though he knew that Natsuki is Fin's reincarnation and Shinji (Miyako's and Minazuki's son) is Access's reincarnation, he is still very protective of his daughter, including kicking Shinji out of the house when he catches the two of them together. Even when Shinji and Natsuki finally realized their love for each other, he wouldn't lift the prohibition of Shinji coming to their apartment until Maron convinced him to.

Miyako Todaiji
Miyako is Maron's classmate and best friend since childhood, who lives across the hall from Maron's apartment. Miyako's father is a police detective and, desiring to follow in his footsteps, Miyako frequently aids in trying to catch Jeanne. Stubborn and with a fierce temper, she didn't have friends until she met Maron in preschool. Though Maron is always there for her when she needs her, including defending her when other kids blamed her for taking the fundraising money (more like smashing the chalkboard with her bare hands), Miyako notes during the series that even with her Maron is sometimes distant and that it bothers her how Maron still won't tell her anything. Miyako is initially in love with Chiaki, and is jealous of Maron, but later accepts Maron's and Chiaki's growing relationship. She was possessed by a demon, placed inside her by the evil Fin, and tries to make Maron suffer by controlling Chiaki and hurting Maron's feelings. But Maron was able to seal the demon and save Miyako. When Yamato confesses to her, Miyako thinks he's only joking, as Yamato had long been in love with Maron. He eventually convinces her of his sincerity and at the end of the series, seven years later, Miyako and Yamato marry, and have a son named Shinji, who is the reincarnation of Access. Eventually, Miyako reveals that she knew that Maron was Jeanne the whole time, and that she only tried to catch Jeanne so she could release her if she were caught. In the anime adaptation, Miyako is unaware that Maron is Jeanne and is deeply hurt when Maron is forced to transform in front of her. The pain allows Finn to use Miyako to attack Maron, but Maron is eventually able to wake her up.
Finn Fish
Finn Fish is the small female semi-angel who helps Maron detect demons, and gave her the power to transform into Kaitou Jeanne. As the series progresses, it is revealed that Finn is a fallen angel who was banished from heaven and sentenced to death after killing a human. The Devil saved her from annihilation in return for her to become his servant, and so she manipulates Maron into gathering the chess pieces for The Devil. Later, Finn explains that she really wanted to live so she could see Access again, because she had always loved him. During the final battle with The Devil, when the Devil shot one last blast to Maron to kill her before he died, Fin realized her wrongs and sacrificed herself in Maron's place. Smiling, she said that she couldn't leave the Devil alone to die because she understood his loneliness, and died. To save her, Maron gave her the power of reincarnation that she possessed from God, saying that Finn needs it more than her and she wants to reincarnate using her own power. In the manga epilogue, seven years later, Finn is reincarnated as Natsuki, the daughter of Chiaki and Maron. Natsuki remembers Access and rejects Shinji's advances in hopes of reuniting with Access. However, when she learns that Shinji is Access' reincarnation, she returns his feelings. In the anime, Finn was kidnapped and brainwashed by The Devil, and did not realize she was working for him until all of the demons were collected. She was brought back after the Devil was finally sealed away.
Access Time
Access Time is the small male dark angel who helps Chiaki detect demons, and who gave Chiaki the power to transform into Kaitōu Sinbad. He is in love with Finn Fish, and worked hard to become a full angel so he could be with her. When Finn is killed by The Devil, Access gives Finn his black earring as a memento, so that the two would meet again when she reincarnated as a human. He himself becomes a semi-angel and works hard to be reincarnated along with Finn by finishing his job as a full angel. He is reborn as Shinji, the son of Miyako and Yamato. When Shinji is four years old, he recognizes Natsuki as the reincarnation of Finn by the earring she was holding after she was born, and proposes to her on the spot. Shinji has remained in love with Natsuki ever since, even stealing her first kiss when she was 3 years old. He frequently professes his love to her, even though she continues rejecting him, not believing that he was Access's reincarnation. However, when he confesses that he is Access' reincarnation, she confesses her love to him.
