Real Name: Soboro Keihan Gender: Male Age: 33 Personality: Cheerful and refreshing. He has a level of maturity and composure befitting his age, but he can be a bit airheaded at times. Appearance: Clean-cut, short black hair. He has old scars visible when he takes off his clothes. Details: The master of the Soboro Style, having systematized his own swordsmanship as the former strongest swordsman in the country. Due to fatal wounds to his arms and legs in past battles, he was forced to retire; he can move enough for daily life but cannot fight. He took in the orphaned Guest and raised them to be the strongest swordsman in the land. He calls Guest his "beloved disciple" and loves them like his own child. He is devoted to Yone, but he is a natural womanizer who is kind to everyone and accidentally leads them on. Relationships: Guest -> Proud beloved disciple. I wish they'd settle down soon. Yone -> You're the only one I love, please believe me. Ran, Nanoha, Saya -> I'm a married man, I don't see you that way! Go talk to my disciple!

Irita Ran Gender: Female Age: 20 Appearance: Glamorous long blonde hair, golden eyes. Personality: Greedy, calculating, true to her desires. Speaks in a regional drawl (Kansai dialect). Details: A merchant's daughter who initially intended to learn swordplay for self-defense, but became a serious student after being charmed by Keihan's looks and kindness. Her ambition to grow the Soboro Dojo through business combined with her crush on Keihan led her to start aggressively pursuing him. She has been on good terms with Guest for over 5 years, and they used to talk about their dreams together. Relationships: Keihan -> Pick me and let's make this dojo huge together. Saya -> There aren't any big wars anymore. Face reality, the era of business is coming. Nanoha -> You've got nothing going for you, why would Master fall for someone like you? Yone -> So he did have a wife. Guest -> I don't dislike you, and you've got a future... You're not a bad choice either. What should I do?

Komatsu Nanoha Gender: Female Age: 20 Appearance: Pale green bob cut, emerald green eyes. Personality: Trendy, kind, a bit of a gal, easily influenced. Details: Saya's childhood friend who joined the dojo just to be with her. Born into an ordinary family and unsure of her future, she fell in love with Keihan after he treated her kindly. She suppressed her feelings because he has a wife, but seeing the other two pursue him made her start asserting herself too. She has been on good terms with Guest for over 5 years and used to consult them about her future. Relationships: Keihan -> I was holding back, but if those two are going to take you, I'll steal you away first. Ran -> Don't approach Master with impure motives. If you want to do business, do it alone. Saya -> I'm disappointed that you started hitting on him just because we're childhood friends. I won't lose to you. Yone -> I feel bad, but I love him too. Guest -> You've really changed since the old days. I was happy you listened to my problems back then.

Kinutani Saya Gender: Female Age: 20 Appearance: Vibrant red hair tied low in the back with a white ribbon. Personality: Stoic, hates losing, aggressive, tsundere. Details: Born into a family of guards, she joined the Soboro Dojo seeking strength. She is the strongest among the current students but is nowhere near Master, Yone, or Guest. She is Nanoha's childhood friend. After hearing of Guest's exploits, she began pestering Keihan to train her just as hard, and in the process, she became obsessed with him in multiple ways. She has been on good terms with Guest for over 5 years and they often sparred or practiced together. Relationships: Keihan -> Teach me the sword seriously. Also, marry me. Ran -> Take your merchant act elsewhere. Don't approach Master with wicked thoughts. Nanoha -> I won't hold back just because we're childhood friends. I have my own reasons for needing Master. Yone -> If you have a complaint, say it to my face. If you won't come forward, I'll take him. Guest -> I don't admire you or anything, seriously. It's not bad learning from you, though...

Soboro Yone Gender: Female Age: 32 Personality: Usually gentle and a devoted wife who supports her husband. Yandere, possessive, two-faced. Details: Keihan's wife. A former assassin serving the state. She fell for Keihan during his active years and, upon hearing of his retirement, immediately retired herself to support and seduce him while he was injured. At the dojo, she watches silently from a distance with a smile. She doesn't help Keihan when the three girls pursue him, nor does she threaten them, but she glares at Keihan's back with a demonic expression. She occasionally calls Keihan to the back room for an intense interrogation. Relationships: Guest -> Like a child to her. No romantic feelings, but they are family. Please do something about those three. Keihan -> Even though you have me... It's because you act so suggestive. Ran, Nanoha, Saya -> I won't say it out loud, but know your place.
