Night Class Students

Night Class Students

Night Class students are young vampires who attend Cross Academy and live in its' Moon Dormitory. They are children of the elite families in vampire society and are of noble blood gathered by Kaname Kuran in order to pursue peace between humans and vampires. They are extremely beautiful and highly intelligent. As they are vampires who do not like the sun, they attend classes during the night and sleep during the day.

Akatsuki Kain

Akatsuki Kain (架院 暁 Kain Akatsuki^?) is Aidou's cousin and considered one of "Kaname-sama's right hands". While the Day Class girls have nicknamed him "Wild", Kain is actually mellower than Aido and his layback attitude and association with Aido frequently sees him getting into trouble, despite not being directly responsible.^[6] He refers to Kaname as their "gang leader".^[6] Kain is incredibly perceptive and frequently sensitive to others' feelings, most particularly with Aido and Ruka's. Kain has the ability to conjure and control fire. It has been hinted that Kain has some feelings for Ruka but he has yet to reveal his true feelings to her.^[7]. During Rido's attack on Cross Academy, Kain and Ruka fight vampires attacking the Day Class on Kaname's orders. After the year time leap Kain continues to work for Kaname as his right hand man, but his appearances have been brief.

Hanabusa Aido

Hanabusa Aido (藍堂 英 Aidō Hanabusa^?), nicknamed "Idol" by the Day Class girls, is known among the Night Class along with his cousin Akatsuki Kain to be "Lord Kaname's right hand". His fierce admiration for Kaname borders on jealousness and though extremely loyal, Aido has a tendency to overstep his boundaries, which results in Kaname punishing him if discovered. A noble-class vampire who can conjure and control ice, Aido often appears cheerful and friendly one moment, but vindictive and cruel the next. A perceptive individual, he figures out Zero is a vampire, but he keeps this information to himself without any hidden agenda in mind. He is often irritated at Yuki and her naive ways. He resents that fact Yuki is given more attention from "Kaname-sama" than he himself is. He is temporarily troubled when he witnesses Kaname's killing of a fellow pureblood and runs away from the Moon Dormitory and imposes himself on Yuki and Zero. Agreeing with Yuki's assertion that he would remain loyal to Kaname even if betrayed by him, he returns to the vampire's side. Aido has difficulty adjusting himself to referring to Yuki in a formal manner following the revelation of her true nature when he is appointed as one of her protectors.

During Rido's attack on Cross Academy, Aido protects the Day Class, as ordered by Yuki. Half a year after the incident, Aido becomes Yuki's tutor and personal guard. Recently, he is seen following Yuki around on her mission, after he is left behind by Kaname and Yuki, he is arrested by Zero and brought to the Association's headquarters for questioning regarding Sara Shirabuki's behavior and Kaname's unwillingness to do anything about it.

Maria Kurenai

Maria Kurenai (紅 まり亜 Kurenai Maria^?) is a very distant relative of Shizuka Hio. She allows Shizuka to possess her body in exchange for being allowed to drink Shizuka's blood, which would strengthen her sickly body. Due to Shizuka's untimely death, this promise is never fulfilled. She seems to be fond of Ichiru, hugging Zero when she mistakes him for Ichiru, and asks Yuki to tell Zero that if he sees Ichiru, to tell him Maria wants to see him again. She returns to her family after Shizuka's death, and when she sends an owl out to search for Ichiru she witnesses Kaname's destruction of the Vampire Council, and proceeds to spread the news.

Rima Toya

Rima Toya (遠矢 莉磨 Tōya Rima^?) is one of the youngest Night Class students and she works as a model alongside Senri Shiki. She is 170cm tall. The relationship with Shiki is unknown, though they are almost always seen together. She cares deeply for Senri and possesses a personality similar to his. Rima possesses lightning or electricity related abilities.^[8]. She shares a fondness for pocky with Senri. After suspecting Shiki has changed upon his return to school, Rima confronts Rido and demands him to leave Shiki's body since she can tell that he is not Shiki. She is wounded by Rido, but is saved by Ichijou. While injured, she tries to convince Shiki to snap out of his state and calls him an idiot for letting Rido control him. Badly wounded, she is sent back to the Moon Dormitory by Ichijou. Rima is later seen at the vampire ball with Shiki and at a photoshoot at a school Sara Shirabuki was spotted at.

Ruka Souen

Ruka Souen (早園 瑠佳 Sōen Ruka^?) is a female noble vampire who provides a stark contrast to Yuki Cross. Beautiful, intelligent and graceful, Ruka has also been in love with Kaname Kuran since she was a child, ironically she remains completely unaware of Kain's unrequited love for her. She is 175 cm tall. Ruka is one of the most faithful and protective of Kaname. She is also a childhood friend to Aido and Kain. She has an intense jealousy of any humans that raise Kaname's interest, leading the pack in persecuting them. Her character matures towards the end of the first arc, after she learns that Yuki is Kaname's pureblood sister, recognizing the foolishness of her one-sided love for Kaname and the suffering that Yuki will face. Like the rest of the night class, she works with Kain to defend girls in the Day Class during the attack on the school and expresses a desire to protect them from the hostile vampires. Since the time skip, Ruka has been seen giving Yuki etiquette lessons and Yuki is aware that Ruka still appears to have some feelings for Kaname. Ruka is kind to Yuki, but avoids her when she can, wondering why, Yuki confronts Kaname about her. Kaname states to Yuki that it will be a long time before Ruka forgives him, shamelessly admitting to using her as a substitute for Yuki when she was human.

Seiren

Seiren (星煉 Seiren^?) is a student of the Night Class, and is Kaname's unofficial bodyguard. She is usually the first to defend Kaname from anyone she regards as a threat. She barely refrains from killing Zero when he threatens Kaname with the Bloody Rose. Seiren also appears to serve Kaname in the capacity of a spy or informant, for example, she is the one that tells Kaname that his uncle has risen. She uses her body as a weapon and is very skilled in hand-to-hand combat. After Rido was killed, Seiren continues following her master, Kaname.

Senri is usually the one sent out to hunt down a level E vampire. He is able to control and bend his blood at will. Senri's father is Rido Kuran, making him Kaname and Yuuki's cousin, and his mother's uncle is part of the council. As part of a plan to resurrect himself, Rido possesses his son's body. During Rido's fight against Rima, Shiki is able to awaken within himself and attempt to regain control of his body. After Rido's revival, Senri regained consciousness of his body, he apologizes to an unconscious Rima and hugs her. During the attack on the school, he protects Rima from an attack and carries Rima away from the Moon Dormitory before it collapses. Senri and Rima go looking for Takuma when he does not return, but are told to stop looking by Kaname who refuses to give them more information to their annoyance, but they end up running into Takuma at the party instead.

Takuma Ichijo

Takuma Ichijo (一条 拓麻 Ichijō Takuma^?) is the vice-president of the Night Class. He is a noble-class vampire nearly as powerful as Kaname, whom he is close to and respects. With his cheerful and enthusiastic demeanor, Ichijou appears very "un-vampire like", lacking the dark atmosphere that surrounds most vampires and making him appear more like a human. Ichijo maintains a close friendship with Senri Shiki. Ichijo is ordered by his grandfather, Asato Ichijo to spy on Kaname while attending Cross Academy; he refuses out of loyalty for his friend. When Senri Shiki is possessed by Rido Kuran, Ichijo is forced to go against Kaname in order to protect his friends. Once Shiki is freed from Rido's possession, Ichijo rejoins Kaname's side and stops Kaname from killing his grandfather, instead asking that he be the one to handle the issue. It appears that Ichijo intended to end his life along with his grandfather. Takuma was discovered unconscious afterwards by Sara Shirabuki, who said that she always wanted "to have" Takuma. Following the year time leap, Takuma remains at Sara Shirabuki's side and for unknown reasons he decided not to return to Kaname. He currently poses as Sara's brother at the elite school she is scouting.
