The following is a list of Minor Characters in ノラガミ Noragami. Generally, they are characters who are recognizable but have too little content to warrant a page of their own.
They are separated into one of four categories: gods, shinki, humans, and others (including loose spirits, etc.). Characters within each section are listed alphabetically.
A link to each character can be obtained by clicking on the 5 yen coin.

After the Ablutions she ordered didn't work, she had Touma thrown into a vent for objecting to her methods. The guide was eventually attacked with a borderline by another Ma shinki, and she retaliated even while bleeding heavily.[7]
