Mahou Sensei Negima/Characters/Ala Alba Support

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Ala Alba

Meaning the White Wing, in the series' Surprisingly Good Latin, Negi's True Companions and Badass Crew, dedicated to finding his Disappeared Dad, having fun while doing so and training a whole lot. This page is dedicated to the support members of Ala Alba and those who have joined the group in all but name. If you finished the sandwich you made at the beginning of the last page, you'd better make another one, because we've still got a ways to go.


Konoe Konoka

Healing Princess, Medic Queen

Voiced by: Ai Nonaka (Japanese) and Monica Rial (English)

Asuna's bubbly, energetic friend and roommate. She's the heir of a filthy rich (and historically-prominent) noble family, itself the offshoot of the Fujiwara clan (a real clan which once provided Imperial brides), and granddaughter of Mahora's Headmaster, Konoemon. Unknown to her, they are also a line of powerful magi, and she has the potential to match her ancestors: Her raw magical capacity surpasses that of Negi himself, though she isn't able to utilize it particularly well.

Of course, being gifted with so great a magical power attracted attention, and she was kidnapped during a Class Trip in Kyoto to serve as channel in the summoning of a Demon Lord. After her inevitable rescue, she discovered and embraced her magical heritage, got reacquainted with her childhood friend and covert bodyguard Setsuna, and became Negi's fourth Ministra Magi so she could use her dormant healing power to help with the post-battle mop-up in the form of Flabellum Euri, a pair of fans with which she can heal even the most fatal injuries so long as they were incurred within the last three minutes.


Hasegawa Chisame

Negi-sensei's Counsellor

Voiced by: Yumi Shimura (Japanese) and Caitlin Glass (English)

The only character without a Weirdness Censor, Chisame was introduced as a strange girl with a double life—a grumpy loner at school, but also internet idol "Chiu" at home. Her initial function was to snark about the implausibility of the situations she finds herself roped in, and initially tries to deny or devise a logical explanation for the supernatural events she witness, until Chachamaru confirms that she is indeed a robot, that Negi is also a powerful mage, and that she stumbled upon a plot to reveal magic to the world. Horrified at the prospect of this abnormal world, she makes a Pactio with Negi and joins his group to help foil the plot, incidentally ensuring that her own life will never be normal again.

As a Ministra, her power naturally has to do with her computer smarts by way of Sceptrum Virtuale, a heart-topped wand with which she can enter the cyberspace world and likewise allow others to do so, as well as give tangible form to data. She also uses her powers to transform into different "Net Idol" costumes.

Chisame: "Oh yeah, you're gonna get stabbed and killed one day! No, I'm going to stab you and then I'll die too."


Miyazaki Nodoka

Mind-Reader, Treasure Hunter

Voiced by: Mamiko Noto (Japanese), Leah Clark (English, Mahou Sensei Negima! and Negima!?)

A quiet girl in the Library Exploration Club, she is almost terminally shy before she meets Negi and becomes the first of many girls to develop a crush on him. During the Kyoto arc, she formed a Pactio with Negi (as winner of Asakura's "Claim Negi's Lips" game) and was subsequently inducted into the group. Her artifact, Diarium Ejus is a book with which she can read minds if she knows her target's name, which proved useful in outwitting Kotaro and Dynamis.

While on her own in Mundus Magicus, she escaped from a Collapsing Lair with her new treasure-hunting friends to gain two new artifacts: Comptina Daemonia, which reveals her target's name; and Auris Lectans, which allows her to hear what her books are saying without reading them. Combined, this allows her to covertly read the minds of anyone present. She's also quite good at piloting a flying manta ray.

Nodoka: "You made the mistake... of thinking of me as a mere powerless girl."
Nodoka: "I am Miyazaki Nodoka, Treasure Hunter and member of Ala Alba. My counterattack starts here."

"What is your name?"

  • Purple Eyes: Curtains Match the Window.
  • Rescue Romance: Starts crushing on Negi after he saves her from falling down the stairs in the library.
  • Shrinking Violet: Thoroughly subverted. Although she is a shy person by nature, when it comes to Negi she's probably more assertive than the other girls. She out-and-out confessed her love as early as the Kyoto Arc, and in the Festival Arc she gives Negi his first romantic kiss. There's a reason her Pactio card lists "courage" as her virtue.
  • Taking the Bullet: Does it literally during the Mahora Festival arc, as she gets hit by a "time bullet" that was targeted at Negi.
  • Throw the Book At Them
  • Took a Level in Badass: Took a few over the course of the series. The first happened when she got Diarium Ejus during the Kyoto arc; astute readers may notice that her first reaction to a threat after this point is to immediately go for the artifact. She takes a second during the Mundus Magicus arc when she gets separated from Ala Alba; besides claiming several magic items that power up Diarium Ejus, she also gains some basic training in reinforcement magic, giving her athleticism a very significant boost. The results speak for themselves when she manages to completely blindside an opponent vastly out of her league and steal an immensely powerful artifact from him.
  • Upgrade Artifact
  • Weak but Skilled: She has no combat abilities, very little magic, and effectively no experience. She does, however, have an artifact, and her ability to properly utilize it makes her extremely effective under the right conditions. Just ask Dynamis.
  • What Would X Do?: Asks herself what Yue, Haruna or Negi would do when she's under attack by the bounty hunters.
    • Literally asks an opponent what he'd do to get out of the situation. While he's attacking her. And it's awesome.


Albert Chamomile

Voiced by: Masashi Yabe (Japanese) and Chris Cason (English)

A crafty, lecherous, talking ermine and something between a familiar and a mentor to Negi.

He's there to provide comic relief, devise battle plans and produce Love Charts out of nowhere.

Since being turned into an ermine is the Cool and Unusual Punishment of choice for mages that were sloppy on their Masquerade, there's some implications as to his true nature...


Saotome Haruna

Godspeed Summon Scribe

Voiced by: Sawa Ishige (Japanese) and Jamie Marchi (English)

The final member of the Library Exploration Club to become aware of Negi's secret, and quite upset about being left out. Unlike the others who were dragged into Negi's issues with a bit of apprehension (especially at needing to kiss him to get a Pactio card), Haruna had no such issues. She's a master at the art of drawing (as opposed to being a master of any weapon type like the majority of her class) which becomes the focus of her Pactio card, the Imperium Graphices, a sketchbook which allows her to bring life to her creations. She's also one of the few characters to make a Pactio with Negi without it being needed in the chapter. In the current arc she was found by Kazumi and Chachamaru... with an airship that she bought.

"I'm gonna say it!!! Number 8 on the list of "Lines I Want To Shout At Least Once In My Life"! Fire Main Cannon!!!"

  • In-Series Nickname: "Paru"
  • It Amused Me
  • Jumped At the Call: Haruna, unlike the others, had no reservations in kissing Negi for magic powers. In fact, literally the first time she saw Negi after learning about pactios she jumped him to get her own artifact...unfortunately there wasn't a magic circle drawn on the ground at the time so it only resulted in a confused Negi.
  • The Matchmaker: Started out pushing Nodoka heavily towards Negi, and then when she realized Yue also had a crush on Negi she backed off slightly and said she'd support both. Following this, she's begun pushing as many girls at Negi as possible as well as egging Natsumi on regarding Kotaro.
  • Meganekko
  • Me's a Crowd
  • Mundane Utility: Using her clones to finish her drawings.
  • Nerds Are Sexy: Haruna is also a bit scary, which may or may not add to this for you.
  • Playing Cyrano: Tries pushing Nodoka towards Negi for the first half of the manga, then after that pushes both Yue and Nodoka towards him while apparently refusing to favor either.
  • Power Perversion Potential: Vast. Think about the kissing golem she created, or the "ero" version of Nodoka she was going to make, and realize she would do that for anyone.
  • Scary Shiny Glasses
  • Secret-Chaser: She is rather fixated on finding out who, if anyone, Negi likes. Creepily, actually.
  • Sequential Artist: Mahou Shojo Biblion doujins.
  • Shipper on Deck: Begins with Negi/Nodoka, though she stops pushing the two together when she becomes aware of Yue's crush and opts to support both. Later, she becomes a Konoka/Setsuna and Kotaro/Natsumi fan.
  • Shout-Out: Imperium Graphices is suspiciously close to a Latin translation of Rakugaki Oukoku, a video game about—you guessed it—bringing drawings to life.
  • Tears of Joy: When The Paru-Sama briefly crashes in the Real World in Chapter 323 and she gets to see some of her classmates after a very long time.
  • Token Evil Teammate: A mild example. She's really mostly good but... really, has she ever wiped off that evil smirk? Like when she learned Nodoka and Yue hadn't told her about magic. When Negi and his group are invited to Godel's ball, she remarks that such a place is perfect for forming the connections she needs to take over Mundus Magicus. The characters observing her exclamation remark that "this might not be beyond her ability".
  • To the Pain: Not only does Haruna tell Nodoka, Yue, and Konoka how she's going to torture them for not sharing about Negi, she has sketches!
  • Yaoi Fangirl: She dragged Negi to the Comiket, people!


Izumi Ako

Izumi Ako

Worrying Released Slave

Voiced by: Kotomi Yamakawa (Japanese), Avery Rice-Williams (English, Mahou Sensei Negima! and Negima!?)

A sweet girl with a talent for music and caretaking, she suffers constant insecurity due to a huge and ugly scar on her back (which came from a childhood accident) and because she doesn't consider herself special. During the MahoraFest, she develops a crush on Negi in his teenage alter-ego "Nagi", who up keeps The Masquerade in order to avoid hurting her feelings. She is among the few students who become stowaways in Mundus Magicus, and when everyone is scattered, she contracts a nasty disease, forcing her, Akira, and Natsumi to sell themselves into slavery, in order to get her a very rare and expensive medicine. "Nagi" and Kotaro have to fight in the Mundus Magicus Martial Arts Tournaments to buy them their freedom.

Eventually, Negi is able to win their freedom, but in the process Ako learns the truth about "Nagi". While she initially (and understandably) takes the revelation hard, she gets better in order to support Negi, and following the events of the Governor's Ball, she forms a Pactio with him, where Negi tried to do so while appearing as "Nagi" in order to appeal to her, but Ako declines, signifying her getting over "Nagi" and wishes to have a clean slate in her relationship with her teacher. As a Ministra she wields an oversized hypodermic needle that offers an ability boost to anyone willing to let her stick the 1.8cm-wide tip in their butt, specifically the left cheek. She claims that doesn't hurt as much as it sounds. Chapter 348 reveals that her artifact has another ability -- to screw up someone's sense of direction in order to incapacitate that person.


Murakami Natsumi

Murakami Natsumi

The Ordinary, Released Slave

Voiced by: Mai Aizawa (Japanese) and Majken Kunishima (English)

Natsumi is the saner roommate of Chizuru. She was the one who first found Kotaro (in dog form) and brought him home—she was very surprised when she looked away for a moment and he turned into a violent boy. After landing in Mundus Magicus and being separated from the others, she quickly found Ako and Akira, though the former was very sick. She ended up selling herself into slavery with the others to pay for Ako's medicine. She shows a lot of interest in Kotaro, though it is unclear whether this is a sisterly feeling or something else. Following her release from slavery, it is confirmed that she has romantic feelings for him, which he reciprocates. Well, they have conducted a Pactio, so that's a good starting point.

Natsumi is also instrumental in the final plan to retrieve the Great Grand Master Key and Asuna due to her artifact, Adjutor Solitarius, a half-mask which suppresses her presence, as well as those holding her hands (it even works against Fate), though she doesn't feel up to it at first -- but it's finally her chance to become a main character of her own story.


Asakura Kazumi

Seeker Of Truth

Voiced by: Ayana Sasagawa (Japanese) and Monica Rial (English)

A local School Newspaper Newshound and aspiring Intrepid Reporter. Started out as a Wild Card when she nearly exposed Negi's secret, though she has since become a dependable ally. Frequently goes to obsessive lengths for The Big Scoop. Good at information gathering and spying, especially after forging a Pactio with Negi. Out of this pact was produced Oculus Corvinus, a golem-camera which can produce six other clones which can be dispersed as independent units.


Aisaka Sayo

Ala Alba Ghost Member

Voiced by: Yuri Shiratori (Japanese) and Kate Bristol (English)

Mahora's resident ghost, seen as more cute than scary and more often frightened than frightening. Went unnoticed at first, but has since been fully seen by Negi and Asakura (who was her seat partner for years), and Setsuna and Mana to a lesser extent (Evangeline as well, but she doesn't note it herself). Has since started hanging around/haunting Asakura, who made/gained a special doll from Evangeline which has allowed her to move around outside the school, and thus join the Ala Alba in the Mundus Magicus. Appears to have a bit of a crush on Negi, but this has yet to be developed considering they have spoken all of once since her introduction.


Sasaki Makie

Sasaki Makie

Foolish Waitress of the Oasis

Voiced by: Yui Horie (Japanese) and Kate Oxley (English)

A sweet, bubbly girl, Makie was one of the first members of the class to develop something of a crush on Negi, although initially this was more out of her obsession for all things cute (like Negi himself) than actual romance. After training together with Negi during his attempt to convince Evangeline to take him as apprentice, she develops true feelings and a strong admiration for him. Established early on as a talented gymnast, Makie has an inhuman level of skill with the ribbon she uses in her performances. Makie was one of the five stowaways that tagged along on the trip to Mundus Magicus, and after being seperated from the group, met up with Yuna. They found work as bar maids, and eventually saved up enough money to make their way to the tournament finals, where they met up with the Ala Alba.

After the Governor's Ball, she forms a Pactio with Negi, who is in the middle of a rough spot in his training. She tells him that she likes him the way he is, and encourages him to not be bound by others' expectations -- advice he takes to heart. Later, she and Chisame prove to be immune to the Rainyday sisters's Lotus Eater Machine. Even later, she proves herself a competent ally and fighter against Fate's girls and is even the one to retrieve the Great Grand Master Key with her artifact, the Liberum Lemiscus, a gymnastics ribbon with a malleable range. She also owns two other artifacts -- Bombus Globus (a ball) and Frango Stipes (a pair of clubs) -- whose true power remains unknown.

Yue: "W-Wh-Why can you give such a complete analysis of someone's history like that?!"

"I-I can't think of any worries~"


Okochi Akira

Okochi Akira

The Kind Released Slave

Voiced by: Azumi Yamamoto (Japanese), Jenny Phagan (English, Mahou Sensei Negima!), Cherami Leigh (English, Negima!?)

Kind and gentle Akira isn't one to jump on the spotlight, preferring to support others from the sidelines. While most of 2-A/3-A is energetic and rambunctious, Akira is quite the opposite—calm, cool and controlled. Just don't anger her. Given the abilities showcased in her Day in The Limelight after the MahoraFest and the fact that she's supposedly the fastest swimmer throughout Mahora, it's somewhat likely there's more to her than meets the eye, even if she's not aware of it. Akira was one of the five stowaways on the trip to Mundus Magicus, and sold herself into slavery along with Natsumi and Ako in order to pay for Ako's medicine.

Eventually, Negi is able to buy back her freedom along with the others. Following the Governor's Ball, she asks a huge favor of Negi -- to form Pactios with Ako, Makie, and Yuna, a request he complies with shortly afterward. At the same time, though, she seems to be trying to dodge the issue of having one for herself... During the brief miniarc revolving around class 3A attempting to 'punish' Negi for ignoring them, she finally acquires her pactio, which puts her in a mermaid suit and allows for limited teleportation through water.

  • Beware the Nice Ones: Something is up with this girl. Nobody's quite sure what it is, but one thing's for sure: you don't catch Misora without some serious skills. Her character information indicates that one of her favorite things to do is come to people's aid when they need her.
  • Blank White Eyes: When she goes berserk on the girls teasing Negi in her Day in The Limelight.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: Non romantic example: She can't bring herself to tell Ako that Nagi the gladiator is actually Negi in magical disguise until she's already found out for herself and becomes heartbroken.
  • Cool Big Sis
  • A Day in the Limelight: Chapter 166; also a No Dialogue Episode, as a nod to her role as The Quiet One. She has another one in the brief calm between the Ball and storming the Gravekeeper's Palace, where she speaks to Negi about Makie, Ako and Yuuna.
  • Expy: Of Motoko Aoyama, though more on looks and seriousness, except replacing the latter's Tsundere attitude with all-around kindness.
  • Godiva Hair
  • Go-Go Enslavement
  • Hime Cut
  • I Know Madden Kombat: Uses her skills as a swimmer in a dodgeball game.
  • Made a Slave
  • Matchmaker Crush: She's heavily implied to be attracted to Negi herself but is more interested in her friends getting a shot. Kamo insinuates this in Chapter 348, which she tries to deny.
  • Meido: Again, the slave outfit.
  • Nice Girl
  • Our Mermaids Are Different: Her pactio outfit.
  • The Quiet One: Early on. She's become less quiet recently, in fact she can get rather loud and panicky if anyone brings up any... "special ideas" about Negi. Heck, there was one chapter told from her perspective, and it didn't have a line of dialog.
  • Rapunzel Hair: Sure, not a terribly unusual trait, as far as class 2-A/3-A goes, but it's rather odd that a swimmer would keep her hair that long.
  • Selective Obliviousness: Minor example. She figures out that "Nagi" is Negi almost instantly because of Kotaro's magical disguise and Negi referring to Ako as his student, but can be seen stopping herself from thinking or asking about it because the implications are pretty bad. She's not very good at lying to herself, however.
  • Shipper on Deck: Pushes Negi into having a pactio with Ako, Makie and Yuuna so the first two get a chance to kiss him and that he'll take the third more seriously.
  • Slave Collar
  • Statuesque Stunner
  • Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: Though more quiet than aloof.
  • Teleporters and Transporters: Her pactio allows her to teleport through water for distances of up to three hundred meters at once. This does not have any kind of mana cost, allowing her to use it rapidly and without tiring.
  • Team Mom: Especially towards her friends.
  • Yamato Nadeshiko: She looks the part with her Hime Cut, acts the part with her cool and controlled personality, and comes from the culture that created the trope.
  • Younger Than They Look: She could pass as the mother of a few of her classmates.
