Airi Sakura is a Golden Hind.

What is a Golden Hind.

Golden Hind are a very rare species of half-human, half-deer creatures, and are particularly favored by Artemis. As the name implies, their skin, fur, and hair is all gold.

History

Highly sought after for their solid gold hooves and horns, the Golden Hinds were hunted to near extinction by mortals. They had the ability to assume human form, but involuntarily reverted back into their true forms when touched by mortals. The touch of gods or demigods would not cause a Hind to revert.

The Golden Hinds were apparently immortal (but not invulnerable), had the ability to heal others, and had some form of empathic ability. They spent their lives in herds of close family (sisters) watching over the forest and its inhabitants. The blood of a Golden Hind was famously one of the few things that could reliably kill a god. Golden Hinds were one of the rarest of creatures on earth and sacred to the goddess Artemis.

Unfortunately, the gentle nature of the Hinds made them targets for hunters.

Fearing their blood, Zeus destroyed the most of the remaining Hinds with a series of lightning bolts however Ares had secretly rescued a few of them from Zeus's genocide.

Why I think Sakura would be a Golden Hind.

Sakura is extremely shy and gentle similar to the Golden Hind as it was their gentle nature that got them hunted by humans to the point extinction. This is also one of the reasons why she hides her identity as a Golden Hind from others, she's afraid they'll use her for her fur and blood.

Akane Tachibana is a Faun.

What is a Faun?

Fauns, or goat men/women, were carried over to Roman mythology from the Greek Satyrs. In turn, Satyrs’ appearance was based on the god Pan. With the legs and tail of a goat and the upper body of a man/woman. In art, they also feature other goatlike features such as horns and pointed ears. These goat men/women offered guidance to travelers in need.

History

Romans believed fauns inspired fear in men traveling in lonely, remote or wild places. They were also capable of guiding humans in need, as in the fable of The Satyr and the Traveller, in the title of which Latin authors substituted the word Faunus. Fauns and satyrs were originally quite different creatures: Whereas late-period fauns are half-man and half-goat, satyrs originally were depicted as stocky, hairy, ugly dwarves or woodwoses, with the ears and tails of horses.

Ancient Roman mythological belief included a god named Faunus often associated with enchanted woods, and conflated with the Greek god Pan and a goddess named Fauna who were goat people.

Why do I think that Tachibana is a Faun.

Despite the Faun being ugly traditional, in the modern days drawn to be pretty and they have a helping hand with travelers thought they get be tricky. Tachibana has been shown as a secretary to the student council which she takes her position seriously as shown when she was making her statements in Ken Sudō's case and her voice caused all sides, even delinquents like Ken, to be silent. Hence making her a good helping hand.

Akito Miyake is an ox-horned Centaur.

What is a centaur?

Centaurs are thought of in many Greek myths as being as wild as untamed horses, and were said to have inhabited the region of Magnesia and Mount Pelion in Thessaly, the Foloi oak forest in Elis, and the Malean peninsula in southern Laconia.

History

The Lamian Pheres, twelve rustic daimones (spirits) of the Lamos river. They were set by Zeus to guard the infant Dionysos, protecting him from the machinations of Hera, but the enraged goddess transformed them into ox-horned Centaurs. The Lamian Pheres later accompanied Dionysos in his campaign against the Indians and later, lived peacefully away from the gods and goddess.

Why do I think that Miyake is an ox-horned Centaur.

Typically, centaurs were known to love violence and be savages however there can be exceptions such as the centaur, Chiron. Chiron loved to teach and was good at healing and was famous for being wise and just and knowledgeable about medicine. Similarly, Miyake has a straightforward and honest attitude when dealing with other people. His honest and caring personality is shown again when Akito agrees to accept Kiyotaka easily without having any doubts about him even after his math scores. However both the creature, the centaur and Miyake are very skilled at archery.
