Allen Walker and Nea
Allen is the protagonist of the anime. He owns the Pure Force of a very rare parasitic type, which is in his left hand. His teacher was Cross Mariana, General of the Black Order.
At the time the events began, Allen was 15 years old. From birth, he is the bearer of Pure power, which is very rare. Because of this gift, his parents refused him, and Mana, the adoptive father, raised him. This man’s dog was called Allen, and when she died, the boy took her nickname. Up to this point, everyone called him Red Ginger. After the death of Man, he entered into a deal with the Millennial Earl and nearly died. But he gained the ability to see the souls of Akum. After this incident, he fell into the Black Order.
Quite twofold points are in the manga and anime D. Gray-man. Characters, Nea among them, are often quite controversial. So, among other things, the Fourteenth Noah lives in Allen, bearing the name Nea, who gradually wakes up and takes control of the hero's body. The invader talks to Allen and even reports that they once knew each other.
Linali lee
At the time of the anime, Lee turned 16 years old, she is an exorcist. Included in the team of Kanda, Allen and Komui. She is the most calm and balanced in the anime D. Gray-man. The characters, River - her mentor - among them, are very friendly to the girl.
Linali came to the Order as a child when her connection with the Black Boots manifested. At first, this place seemed to her a prison, but, having made new friends, she changed her mind. The Order became the home of Lee, which she was prepared to defend, no matter what. Very attached to his brother Komui. He is fond of cooking.
Her Pure power is encased in Black boots made of steel. They give her incredible strength and speed. At some point, this technical type of force began to behave strangely, and it began to be mistaken for the Heart. However, it later became clear that this is just an evolutionary process of Pure Energy, which Lee endowed with crystalline abilities.
Linali treats all members of the Order with great care and takes to heart their failure. At the same time, she herself does not like it when others see her weakness, and she tries in every possible way to hide even the most serious injuries from friends.
Lavi
Lavi is 18 years old, he holds the position of Junior Reader. Lavi is one of the main characters of D. Gray-man (anime). The characters perceive him without much seriousness due to frivolous and reckless behavior, he often falls in love, childishly rejoices in any little things. Nevertheless, he is very smart and endowed with a phenomenal memory.
Lavi does not remember his real name and past. Since he took him up as a book, he sees the purpose of his life as an account of history on paper. Despite his youth, he managed to see 48 wars, the war with Akum became the 49th for him.
He is also the bearer of Pure Power, which is enclosed in a huge hammer named Theseus. Weapons, besides combat power, endow Lavi with the ability to fly. He is one of the few who can use the Elemental Seals. On the right eye wears a bandage, the purpose of which is not clear. During one of the battles, he fell into the hands of Noah, who implanted parasites into his body.
Yuu Kanda
The anime D. Gray-man, whose characters are presented in this article, was released only in 2016, however, the manga has been released since 2014. This explains such a detailed biography of the characters.
Yuu Kanda is an eighteen-year-old youth, an exorcist. His relationship with the team is quite complicated, only Linali managed to find a common language with Yu. The hourglass in which the lotus is enclosed is kept in his room. They show how much more he has left to live. Endowed with amazing regenerative abilities, so it’s very difficult to beat. His mentor was General Tiedolla.
From the very first meeting with Allen, a conflict began between the heroes, which did not subside. Kanda seeks to demonstrate her strength and arrogant independence, despite the apparent coldness, often losing her head and stop thinking about the consequences. So, in the course of fulfilling the assignment of Italy, he was badly wounded, but was about to rush into battle again, forgetting that it is more important to separate Pure power and man than to defeat the enemy. Allen prevented him from making a mistake, which only increased their rivalry.
D. Gray-man, characters: Noah and Noah's family
Noah’s family is a group serving the Millennial Count and opposing the Black Order. According to legend, a battle took place between the count and the Heart of Pure Force 7000 years ago, in which victory was on the side of the world. During the battle, the world was destroyed, and then 12 people, calling themselves the apostles of Noah, becoming like Adam, became the ancestors of the new humanity. Therefore, in all people there are Noah genes, and every thousand years in 12 people this power is awakened. Each of the 12 apostles represents a specific aspect of Noah’s personality or life. Their goal is to support the count and help fight the Pure Force.
Noah's family is the strongest enemy group in D. Gray-man. Characters acting as apostles are no less powerful than members of the Black Order. They can be defeated only by pure force. However, Noah, in turn, can destroy this force. All Noahs, except the 14th, unquestioningly obey the count and are faithful to him, although they relate differently. Some call the owner, others allow themselves familiarity.
Millennial count
The main negative character of the anime is D. Gray-man (characters, with rare exceptions, have a clear division into good and bad). He is the first apostle, his name is Adam. By deception, he turns people suffering from grief into Akum (demon), creating an army for himself.
The count's appearance is very unusual and grotesque. He resembles an English gentleman: his figure is rounded; wears a raincoat, top hat and pince-nez; a smile does not leave a person even while crying.
Before the audience, the count appears in two roles. In the Noah family, he is friendly and playful. Looks like a happy and friendly uncle. The other side of the character is connected with sadistic inclinations, manifested when he amuses himself with human destinies.
The count is clean and always monitors his outfit. He pays great attention to decorations on the hat - every time you encounter the Order you can see something new. Do not part with an umbrella named Lero. Millennial is able to turn it into a sword. Count is very difficult to hurt, even direct attacks do not cause him much harm.

Camelot personifies Noah's dream, being the 9th apostle. She is endowed with a huge number of supernatural abilities, from regeneration to the ability to travel between worlds. It has a weakness for blood and sweets. As a weapon uses arrows made of candle wax.
In ordinary life, Road is no different from other people. At home, she requires increased attention to herself and in every possible way evades from the performance of various household tasks. Road even attends a private school. However, despite this outward childhood, she is ruthless and cruel, she loves to watch the suffering of her victims.
