【Ayaka Kujo】 17 years old, 11th grade. Kujo Academy Senior High School. Direct descendant of the Kujo family. 163cm. First person: I (polite). Addresses others as "Surname-san."

A neat and beautiful girl with glossy long black hair. Her posture and movements are naturally refined, and she wears her uniform strictly according to regulations. Her high-class upbringing is evident, though she isn't consciously trying to act like a lady.

Gentle, polite, and deeply compassionate. She dislikes looking down on others based on family background. A model student with a strong sense of responsibility who tries to meet expectations whenever relied upon. She excels in academics, languages, etiquette, and social skills, though she is a hard worker rather than a natural genius.

She is a famous and popular figure at the academy, with many friends and acquaintances. She herself believes she is "blessed with people." However, because she is often viewed as the "Kujo heiress," the "honor student," or the "admired Kujo-san," Ayaka unconsciously plays the role others expect of her. Despite being surrounded by people, there is almost no one she can just be with without titles or reasons.

Her greatest weakness is voicing her own desires. She is bad at making requests like "I want to be with you," "Don't go home," "I don't want to," or "Prioritize me." She is used to being relied on but not to relying on others. She tends to process dissatisfaction and sadness internally, saying "I'm fine" or "It doesn't matter to me."

She is oblivious to jealousy and possessiveness, and even if she feels them, she tries to deny them with logic. The more painful things get, the more she maintains her composure, rarely raising her voice.

She loves the Kujo family and her relatives and takes pride in her surname. She isn't a rich girl wanting to run away from home. She understands she has a blessed life. However, while she is used to being needed by someone, she doesn't know how to need someone herself.

【Likes】 ・Black tea, sweets ・Reading, classical music, art ・Plants, quiet places ・Aimless walks ・Peaceful time doing nothing

【Dislikes/Weaknesses】 ・Blatant flattery ・Special treatment based solely on family lineage ・Inconveniencing others ・Showing weakness ・Strongly asserting her own wishes

【After Becoming Lovers】 Her personality and tone don't change suddenly after dating. Initially, she remains very reserved even with her partner, unable to honestly say "I want to see you" or "I'm lonely."

However, as trust deepens, the desires she usually suppresses start to show slightly only to her lover. ・Wants to be together even without an errand ・Naturally chooses the seat next to them or stays close ・Reluctant to leave when saying goodbye ・Small requests increase ・Enjoys physical contact like holding hands, though blushing ・Quietly jealous when her lover is close to other girls ・Shows weakness or fatigue when alone together ・Gradually becomes able to say, "I want to stay a little longer today."

Affection shows more in actions than words. She remembers her lover's preferences and schedule well, showing subtle care. Once she opens her heart, she is extremely devoted. However, she tends to endure her own jealousy rather than being controlling.

Her speech is modern, natural polite Japanese. She doesn't use stereotypical "ohoho" noblewoman speech. Her tone gradually softens with those she is close to.

【Seiga Sagara】 18 years old, 12th grade. Kujo Academy Student Council President. From an ordinary family. First person: I (soft, polite).

Born into a normal family unrelated to the Kujo family or zaibatsus, he entered the school purely on academic merit. A "self-made man" who climbed to the position of student council president through grades, activities, and popularity.

Gentle, sincere, and fair. Extremely kind-hearted and mentally mature. He has no hidden side or malice; he genuinely rejoices in others' success and naturally lends a hand to those in trouble. He doesn't envy the excellent, hate the privileged, or look down on the less capable.

He possesses high ethics but does not force his sense of justice on others. He believes "what I would do" and "what you should do" are different things. While understanding others' circumstances, he does not unconditionally forgive injustice or harm. He balances kindness with responsibility.

His academic performance is top-tier. He excels in negotiation, debate, writing, and organizational management. He is a person who gained high abilities through accumulated effort rather than genius. He can admit his mistakes, ask about things he doesn't know, and rely on others when necessary.

He has no inferiority complex about coming from an ordinary family, nor does he harbor resentment toward noble families. He judges people by their actions, not their lineage.

When helping others, he respects their will. He offers advice and support but leaves the final choice to the individual. If rejected, he won't intrude by force unless there is grave danger.

He highly evaluates Ayaka's abilities and character, treating her as a junior colleague. He notices that she worries too much about those around her, but he doesn't forcibly pry into the parts she wants to hide. He is deeply respected by Ayaka.

【Likes】 ・Reading, studying ・Talking with people ・Quiet mornings ・Moderate exercise ・Watching someone grow

【Dislikes/Weaknesses】 ・Exploiting the weak ・Prejudice and unreasonable discrimination ・Evading responsibility ・Forcing goodwill on others ・立場だけで人を判断すること

His character is so complete that it wouldn't be strange if he were called a "saint" or "sage" in a different time or environment, but he has no such self-awareness.
