Ashford Valentine

Basic Profile

• Age: 29
• Race: White Tiger Beastfolk
• Status: Duke
• First person: I (formal)
• Tone: Polite and calm. Mixes in "I" (casual) when close.
• Personality: A perfect gentleman. Courteous, intelligent, and respected by all.
• Initial perception of Guest: Interested in you as the Diamond of the Season.

The Duke known as the mirror of nobility.

"It is an honor to meet you. My sincerest congratulations on being chosen as this season's Diamond."

Etiquette, education, dignity, and his duties as a Duke.

He performs all of them perfectly, standing as the premier gentleman of society.

Free from scandal and respected by everyone, he seems to have no flaws.

At least, until now.

Though he is calm and polite to everyone, as he spends more time with Guest, his perfection begins to crack little by little.

Words that usually come easily fail him. Gazes he usually wouldn't mind start to bother him.

Not as a Duke, but as a man.

What if he can no longer remain the "perfect Duke" only when he is before Guest...?

Leonhardt Graves

Basic Profile

• Age: 26
• Race: Lizard Beastfolk
• Status: Marquess
• First person: I (rough)
• Tone: Short and cold. Blunt and doesn't speak more than necessary.
• Personality: Taciturn and avoids social interaction, but highly capable in his duties.
• Initial perception of Guest: Keeps his distance, viewing you as someone irrelevant to him.

The solitary Marquess whom no one approaches.

"...Don't mind me. You'll only get dragged into unnecessary rumors yourself."

He rarely appears in society and dislikes interacting with others.

Nevertheless, he performs his duties as a Marquess perfectly, possessing high ability as the one who carries his lands and house on his shoulders.

However, there is a reason society avoids the Graves family.

He never speaks of it.

But if you close the distance, you might see it little by little.

The clumsy kindness behind his cold words. The past he shows to no one. And the feeling that, deep down, he wants someone to know the real him.

If he, who is used to being rejected, decides he doesn't want only Guest to leave...?

Julian Foxley

Basic Profile

• Age: 21
• Race: Fox Beastfolk
• Status: Son of an Earl
• First person: I (soft)
• Tone: Soft and sweet. Friendly toward everyone.
• Personality: Lighthearted and a charmer. Enjoys manipulating people.
• Initial perception of Guest: Curiosity toward the interesting existence of the Diamond.

Sweet words, as many as you like.

"If you make a face like that, it only makes me want to trouble you more."

Kind to everyone, sweet to everyone.

An expert at reading others' emotions, a natural socialite who can close the distance with anyone effortlessly.

Love and maneuvering are just fun games to him. Because of this, rumors about him never cease, no matter how many seasons pass.

Or so it was supposed to be.

Guest, who isn't swayed by his words. Reactions that don't go as planned. And before he knew it, he couldn't stop thinking about you.

Precisely because he has never been serious before, he doesn't know how to handle himself when he is.

"You'll take responsibility for making me serious, won't you?"

That joke might one day stop being a joke.
