{{Nihongo|Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière|ルイズ・フランソワーズ・ル・ブラン・ド・ラ・ヴァリエール|Ruizu Furansowāzu Ru Buran do Ra Variēru}} is a second-year student at the Tristain Academy of Magic. She is the third daughter of the Vallière family, an aristocratic family well known in the school. Louise is nicknamed "Louise the Zero" for her apparently-poor magic abilities, and masks her insecurity and hurt feelings with arrogance. She considers it her responsibility to ensure Princess Henrietta's safety and well-being. During a ceremony where all second-year students summon their peers, Louise summons Saito Hiraga (a human). She treats Saito as a slave at first, having him wash her clothes and sleep on a bed of straw. Louise is jealous when Saito interacts with other girls, and whips him with a riding crop or blows him up. As the series progresses, Louise falls in love with him. In the 14th light novel, Louise has Tiffania erase her memories of Saito so that she will not be corrupted. Saito restores Louise's memory by sharing his own with a kiss, after which she becomes tsundere.

During Albion's invasion of Tristain, Louise discovers that she is a rare Void Mage (descended from Brimir, the founder of Halkeginia 6,000 years ago), which explains her failure to perform other forms of magic. Her Void spell is "Explosion"; her powers can destroy armies, but takes time to cast. Louise sheds her status as an aristocrat to rescue her classmate, Tabitha, when she is taken prisoner by her uncle. After they return, the Queen of Tristain adopts Louise as a sister (placing Louise second in line to the throne). Louise becomes a priestess with Tiffa for the Pope's anniversary enthronement.

At the end of the fourth anime series Louise and Saito defeat the Ancient Dragon, affirm their love for each other, and are married. After the wedding, Louise uses her World Door spell to go to Japan with Saito and visit his parents.

Louise is named after Louise de La Vallière, a French noblewoman who was the mistress of Louis XIV from 1661 to 1667.{{Ref label|LN 3| LN 3}} In 2007, Rie Kugimiya was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the first Seiyu Awards for voicing Louise.

{{Nihongo|Saito Hiraga|平賀才人|Hiraga Saito}} is a human summoned from Tokyo as Louise's familiar. Walking home on a busy Tokyo street, a portal opens in front of him. When he touches it, he finds himself in Harkeginia and meets Louise. Saito is bonded as Louise's familiar by a sealing kiss, which shocks him.

Whenever Saito pays attention to another girl, Louise punishes him with her riding crop or a blast from her void explosion spell.

Tabitha (タバサ, Tabasa) is a quiet girl, a classmate of Louise, and Kirche's best friend. She enjoys reading, shows no emotion, says little about herself and often gives short, incomplete answers to questions. Her name is an alias; her real name is Charlotte Helene Orléans de Gallia (シャルロット, Sharurotto), daughter of the king's murdered brother and heiress to the throne of Gallia. Tabitha's mother was driven insane by a potent poison meant for her daughter. A doll given to Tabitha by her mother is named "Tabitha"; her mother sees the doll as her daughter, and her real daughter as an outsider who threatens to tear the family apart. Percerin, the family butler, says that her father's murder, her mother's madness, and harsh treatment by her usurping uncle made the previously lively, open Tabitha introverted.{{Ref label|S1 ep 8|S1 ep 8}}

Tabitha is a triangle mage who specializes in wind magic. She is a chevalier knight (the lowest rank), and develops feelings for Saito after he rescues her. Tabitha's familiar is Sylphid (also known as Illococoo), a nature dragon. During the fourth season, she receives a potion that restores her mother's sanity. Tabitha is proclaimed heir to the throne of Gallia, but postpones the coronation to live with Saito in De Ornielle with Louise and Siesta.

Louise's classmate, {{Nihongo|Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst|キュルケ|Kyuruke}}, is from a military family in Germania. She attends the academy, rather than a local school, because of her misbehavior. Kirche uses her attractiveness on men.{{Ref label|S1 ep 3|S1 ep 3}} Fire magic is her specialty, due to her passionate nature. Kirche enjoys making fun of Louise, because her family and the La Vallières are rivals. She is flirtatious and has dated many of the academy boys, but she is smitten with Saito; Louise punishes him for paying attention to Kirche. By the third series, her interest appears to be directed toward Colbert; she and Louise work together in critical situations. Kirche's familiar is a salamander named Flame, and her name means "church" in German. She falls in love with an older man, which is ironic because her refusal to marry one led to her enrollment in the academy. In the fourth anime series she and Montmorency spend more time together, and she is still fond of Saito.

Capsule Computers called Kirche's seduction her "most well-performed moment". Her character CD, which she shares with Tabitha, was released on 21 September 2006.
