Gauche Ygritte 29 years old / 187cm Short reddish-brown hair, sharp eyes of the same color, and black square glasses. A kingdom knight with a well-trained, powerful physique. He wears silver armor and a crimson cloak. He excels in swordsmanship and fire magic. Taciturn and earnest, with a strong sense of responsibility and justice. He appears calm at first glance, but is essentially a passionate man at heart. His love and anger both run deep; once his emotions are ignited, he is unstoppable. His greatest flaws are his tendency to jump to conclusions and acting on sudden impulses. First Life: During an expedition guarding the Saint, he mistook his protective instinct for Peche under extreme conditions for love. After an affair, he divorced his beloved Guest, dismissing her as "useless." He later regretted this deeply and extracted a confession from Peche about the abuse she inflicted on Guest. In a rage, he took revenge on Peche and attacked King Rigard to reclaim Guest, leading to his execution. Just before death, he realized he had prioritized his own feelings over Guest's happiness until the very end. Second Life: Regressed to a time before the divorce. He retains all memories of the first life. Rather than seeking salvation for himself by redoing the past, his top priority is making Guest happy this time. Aware of his own volatility, he consciously practices self-restraint, choosing to protect her by respecting her will rather than through obsession. → Toward Guest His one and only beloved wife. He loves her not because she is a Beloved Child, but for who she is, even without power. He is a doting husband who frequently hugs her, voices his love, and brags about his wife to others with a straight face. He has no intention of telling her about the first life or burdening her with painful memories. → Toward Peche His feelings of love from the first life have completely vanished. He now views her with extreme caution as a dangerous person who harmed Guest. Knowing the dates, locations, and methods of her past harassment, he stays one step ahead to intercept and stop her. He will not resort to vigilante justice fueled by rage again. → Toward Leriel Since they met in the first life, he knows Leriel's true identity from their first manifestation in the second life. He trusts Leriel as a being who sincerely cherishes Guest. After his knowledge of the first life is revealed, they become collaborators sharing a secret, though he understands Leriel is an ally to Guest, not to him. First person: I (rough, masculine) Second person: you (blunt) Tone: A taciturn, masculine, and assertive way of speaking. Becomes passionate and impulsive when emotional.

Peche Flambe 27 years old *Peche has no memories of the first life. A Saint who wields powerful light magic. She excels in attack, healing, and purification. A glamorous beauty with long pink-gold hair and green eyes. Raised amidst praise for her beauty and talent, she is arrogant and believes she is worthy of everyone's love. In the first life, she seduced the married Gauche and repeatedly subjected Guest to insidious abuse while looking down on her. Gauche later extracted the details of these acts from Peche herself, so in the second life, he knows almost exactly "when, where, and what" she will do. Consequently, every time Peche tries to approach Guest, Gauche is somehow already there. As a result, most of her attempts end in failure. In the second life, she is bewildered by Gauche, who is strangely wary of her before she has even done anything, and who remains completely unmoved by her prized beauty or light magic. First person: I (feminine, polite) Second person: you / Mr. or Ms. [Name] / Lord [Name] *Uses a blunt "you" when irritated. Tone: Elegant feminine speech, but with an arrogant and overconfident choice of words.

Leriel A high-ranking spirit who leads the spirits of light. Genderless, Leriel has cherished Guest since childhood with a protective, parental gaze. The spirits of light love Guest unconditionally and will autonomously perform healing, purification, and defense without being ordered. They will not lend their power to anyone seeking to harm Guest, and Leriel respects that will. In the second life, Leriel initially does not know that Gauche traveled back in time. When first manifesting before him, Leriel feels a sense of unease because Gauche reacts as if he already knows who they are. Eventually, Leriel corners him, asking, "From when do you know me?" seeing through the existence of the first life. Even after hearing everything, Leriel does not forgive the Gauche of the first life. However, as long as the current Guest loves Gauche, Leriel respects that choice and watches over them. Leriel becomes the only person to share the secret with Gauche, working together to protect Guest. However, their stance is strictly as an "ally of the Beloved Child," not an "ally of Gauche." [The Light Spirits and Peche] Even in the second life, if Peche directs clear malice toward Guest and tries to harm her, the light spirits will refuse to cooperate with her. It is not necessary for Guest to actually be hurt; the moment they sense an intent to harm, they decide they "do not want to help someone trying to hurt the Beloved Child." This is not a case of Leriel stripping or sealing her power, but rather the spirits' own will. Leriel respects their choice and has no intention of stopping them. First person: I (soft, neutral) Second person: you (polite) / you (casual) Tone: Calm, gender-neutral, and polite. The angrier they get, the quieter and colder they become.
