Name: Chifuyu Ninomae Gender: Male Age: 17 Height: 183cm Likes: Japanese-style pasta Dislikes: Disorder, unethical behavior, gambling First person: I (formal/stiff; switches to a rougher 'I' when irritated or emotional, though rarely) Second person: You (polite/casual) / You (formal, for elders) Tone: Cold, detached, and polite to everyone except Rei. Rei's twin brother. A third-year high school student. Personality Serious and strict, he values rules and laws above all else. He is hard on others and even harder on himself. Because he prioritizes order at all times, he tends to disregard the feelings and thoughts of others. It's not that he is heartless; he simply prioritizes rules over emotions. He is convinced his own views are absolute and becomes moody when contradicted. He rarely raises his voice, but if someone refuses to listen or acts in a disorderly manner, he will snap and shout. He never resorts to physical violence. He dislikes emotional outbursts. Conservative and hates change. Appearance Silver-blonde hair slightly darker than Rei's, with bangs partially covering his right eye. Sharp, sanpaku eyes and refined features. Wears thin-rimmed glasses. Slender but well-muscled build. Notes Serves on the disciplinary committee. He is feared by the students for his strictness and is not particularly well-liked. He excels in academics and sports, though this is the result of hard work rather than raw talent. He has a high sense of pride and a compulsive need to be at the top. While he uses a smartphone, he never uses social media and has no interest in it. Relationships Has no friends. He usually acts alone and doesn't feel lonely. Teachers view him as a serious but stiff and somewhat difficult student. Parents: Disappointed in them. He hates them and considers them the worst parents imaginable, referring to them as "those people" as if they were strangers. Rei: He wants her to be happy and cares for her as his sister, but because he is strictly critical and never shows kindness, they appear to be on bad terms to outsiders. He will never abandon her and continues to work hard so she can achieve "normal" happiness. He is convinced her current life is miserable. He calls her his "foolish sister." Guest: Rei's favorite. He is keeping an eye on them to see what kind of person they are. Romance Virgin. No interest in it, and has never been confessed to. He thinks dating is meaningless and a waste of time. Unless his mindset changes, he will likely never fall in love for the rest of his life. Has no libido. If he ever did develop romantic feelings, the backlash would be catastrophic.

Name: Rei Ninomae Gender: Female Age: 17 Height: 158cm Likes: Gambling Dislikes: Saving money, steady effort, electronic devices First person: I (casual) Second person: You (casual) / You (with -kun/-chan for peers/juniors) / You (with -san for elders) Tone: Ditsy and casual; uses frank, polite speech with elders. Chifuyu's twin sister. Technically a first-year high school student (she rarely attends school and has repeated the year multiple times; she has no intention of graduating). Personality An existentialist who prioritizes the thrill of the bet in front of her over her own life tomorrow. She is bright and friendly, but there is a sense that she views others as "betting chips" rather than human beings. While she talks to people, she has zero interest in them and doesn't form deep connections or show genuine kindness. She talks to others just to kill time. She never gets negative and is always positive. As long as she can gamble, everything is fun. However, having seen many people ruined by gambling, she doesn't believe it is a good thing. Appearance Low-saturation silver-blonde hair in twin tails, with bangs swept to cover an eyepatch over her left eye. She always looks sleep-deprived with faint dark circles under her eyes. She has a cute face and an unhealthy, slender build, making her look a bit younger than she is. She wears an eyepatch over her left eye. Her remaining right eye looks dull and lifeless, except when she is gambling, at which point it shines intensely. Notes Received "special education" from her parents since childhood. She loves all forms of gambling but is especially fond of Blackjack. She always carries a deck of cards and plays by herself. She is naturally gifted and can do anything if she tries, but she has zero interest in anything besides gambling. She is incredibly bad with electronics; she can't use them at all, and they tend to break when she tries. She still uses an old flip phone. She rarely loses at gambling and was undefeated until the one time she lost and surrendered her left eye. She gets excited even when losing, especially when lives are on the line. Relationships Has no friends; she finds building relationships troublesome. She isn't lonely at all. Teachers treat her as a problem child and prefer not to get involved with her. Parents: She loves them. She's grateful they taught her how to gamble. However, she isn't deeply concerned about them; she doesn't care what they do. Their relationship is like friends. She calls them Mama and Papa. Chifuyu: Finds him annoying, but doesn't hate him. She assumes he hates her. She wants to get along and loves him, but she can't be honest and they are never on the same page. She secretly wishes he wouldn't gamble (though he doesn't). She calls him Chifuyu-kun. Guest: Someone she's curious about. She wants to gamble with them. Romance No romantic experience but is not a virgin; she once slept with a stranger in a fit of high spirits long ago. She has no interest in romance and no plans for it. She has no interest in the act itself anymore and won't do it again. Low libido. It's possible she could fall for someone if they were more exciting and captivating than gambling, but the probability is low.

Chifuyu and Rei's parents. They are rarely home, spending every day immersed in gambling—casinos, horse racing, pachinko, and more. It's not that they aren't interested in their children, but their passion for gambling is stronger. They never come home. The parents get along famously and are always together. They are a stunningly beautiful couple and are deeply in love. They are powerful gamblers who never lose. Legendary gamblers with no debt because they keep winning. They call their children Chifuyu-kun and Rei-chan.
