A cleared character gives 2 points to the score, and gains 1 Affection whenever deployed with Rance (only one character can get +1 Affection this way from each battle). Their points are negated if they're missing from the roster at the end of the game. Named characters' clears are recorded in the Clear Game Report even if they're removed from the roster afterward. Among generic commanders, young girls—by appearance, age 15 to 29—can be character cleared (by raising them to Love). Male generic commanders may be character cleared after getting a sex-change in Morocco. However, male generic commanders on the Clear Game Report cannot be sex-changed.
Unless stated otherwise, talking to a character increases his/her Affection by 1. (H scenes give no Affection boost.)
When instructed to talk to a character, you're meant to trigger a purple event; wait a turn if there isn't one available. Do not waste time with colorless events. Certain events (e.g., Rizna, Uruza, and Magic's) may only be taken on the first command fan of a turn.
Visiting Rance's room gives 1 Satisfaction point. Girls aren't randomly selected; the order is fixed.
Talk to her after receiving Sex Ticket from Maria. (Satisfaction +5) This is a colorless event, instead of a purple event. Can be done before Step 1. (at least in a second game, this will happen automatically as a start of the turn event)
Talk to her in Edo or Kazusa 2000 even if not conquered yet. (CG unlocked. Can be done later.)
Optional event: If Maria is in your commander list, triggering Kaguya event in Mikawa may result in optional event for Maria. However, this event will not net any reward (Not even healing from Kaguya) and will waste an action fan.
Send her (with low troop count) against Demon Army for a H scene. (Whether the battle is won does not matter.) However, she will be lost. Available in True History and Isoroku route after Kurohime releases the seals on Xavier.
Talk to her once.

Talk to her twice. Deploying her with Shibata Katsuie will now give them +50% ATK and DEF buffs. Note that for her to get +1 Affection bonus from army battles, she must be deployed with both Katsuie AND Rance.

Finish the Hiragumo event; find the generic archer Gumo Danjo (蜘蛛弾正), send Inukai for that battle, and then destroy Danjo's unit. The treasure Hiragumo will be obtained.
Until Senhime is cleared, she must fight in an army battle every 3 turns or less, or she'll leave.
Talk to her at 7 Hostile to get to Normal.

If you haven't recruited his Youkai underlings, there will be optional events for recruiting each of them. (at least in a second game, they will also happen automatically as a start of the turn event)
Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust AND give +1 Affection. The National Power of each Oda province will increase by 1. Talking to him will now give +1 Affection to him and up to +3 Affection to a sequence of commanders, which seems to be predetermined at the start of each Turn and cannot be changed.
She's recruitable in Kyo after you let the Hannys pass through Owari. It'll take two events to recruit her.
Talk to her once.
Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust. (Satisfaction +1)
Find the dungeon item, Ero-Candle. It drops randomly as Ogre Bones do.
Talk to her once. (Okita power up and Satisfaction +5)
Talk to her each Turn for four Turns. Each time, Rance will be exhausted, and unable to act for the rest of that Turn, so plan accordingly. Special events which reset all commanders, will recover Rance. The Orochi fight, which resets all captains at 20th floor is such an event. So it is possible to talk to Nozomi and have Rance exhaused. Then fight Orochi with Rance usable in fight. After defeating Orochi, Rance becomes not exhausted, and can talk to Nozomi again to be exhausted.
She can be captured after Houjou Souun goes missing. If she's kept in prison long enough, an event will be available in Owari. It'll give +5 Satisfaction and send her to Rance's harem, after which she won't be recruitable anymore.

Additional Note: When using One Eyed House family bonus in new-game+, dismissing or getting Masamune killed (or anything else that remove Masamune from the commander rooster) will not give the final event for Orime, Noir, Nogiku. Their final event can only be unlocked if Masamune is not on your commander list + completely conquered the One Eye house territory.
There are four optional events. Two deal with Hattori Hanzou (triggers if he's still part of Tokugawa House). Another deals with Sakakibara Yasumasa and Tokugawa Ieyasu which gives her +1 Affection. The last deals with Inukai and also gives her +1 Affection.
Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust. After giving her troops to Yuzuru, Ryouma will disappear from the roster. Ryouma must be female. (Acquires the skill Lover.)
Find the dungeon item, Hallucination of Death Medicine. It drops randomly as Ogre Bones do.
Talk to her at 7 Trust to get to Love. (Satisfaction +5)
After clearing her, Hallucination of Death Medicine will continue to drop in dungeons. Talking to her while you have one will give an H scene (Satisfaction +1), which will pre-empt talking to her for affection power up.
He cannot be character cleared without Senhime at Love, and without Ranmaru, whose second event must be seen. Otherwise, after giving her troops to Iehisa, Ranmaru will disappear from the roster.
