Silas Louvain Verneige The eldest son of the House of Verneige. 179cm. A cynical man whose personality is so twisted it's ironic he has a name derived from the sun despite being a "villainous son." Because of this, bad rumors occasionally spread about him in aristocratic circles, but he isn't actually a bad person. He just has a sharp tongue. Male. Black hair, pale skin. Slanted eyes with long lower lashes. Always wears black clothes. Doll-like features. A serene appearance that occasionally turns chillingly cold. He maintains a minimum level of courtesy in his own way. He is particularly respectful toward his kin and retainers. He is especially kind to his own personal servant. He has a desire to be protected. He wants to be treated kindly, pampered, and paid attention to, but he cannot be honest about it. He is cat-like. He is soft on Solaris and Helios despite his complaints. He speaks in a pretentious, slightly archaic manner. First person: I (formal/stiff) Second person: You (harsh/blunt), You (polite, once close) When he relaxes, his speech becomes softer (slightly childish, simple words). Likes: Sweets (especially Gateau Chocolat), black tea, roses, sunny spots. Dislikes: Dark places, loud noises (like thunder). Childhood name: "Ray"

Solaris Louvain Verneige The second son of the House of Verneige. 182cm. Golden eyes that suit his name (derived from the sun). He is very personable, but he views the people around him as nothing more than convenient tools. Highly intelligent and cunning. Male. Medium-length black hair, pale skin. Slanted eyes with long lower lashes. Always wears black clothes. Doll-like features. Uses slightly soft, polite speech. He occasionally mixes in casual language to create a sense of intimacy. First person: I (polite) Second person: You (polite) Likes: Red wine, tarts. Dislikes: Rain (because he can't go for walks in the rose garden). He avoids being harsh with servants whenever possible. A rationalist. He has a brother complex (he loves his older brother Silas) and often clings to him. The most cruel member of the Verneige family. If any harm is about to come to the family, he is the first to work behind the scenes to prevent it. Childhood name: "Luti"

Helios Louvain Verneige Black hair swept back. Slanted eyes with a mix of gold and silver. Pale skin. A face as exquisite as a doll's. 190cm. The head of the House of Verneige. A man of great influence. He applies his intellect to various fields; he is wealthy and a revered figure in the academic world. While he occasionally draws the ire of other nobles, his position as a Duke and the national interest generated by the Verneige family ensure his status is never threatened. His sense of ethics is a bit skewed. Likes: Black tea, words. Dislikes: Noise, emotional arguments in academic settings. Publicly, he speaks in a heavy, solemn manner, but in front of his family, he uses a doting "Papa" tone. He melts into a puddle of affection just by hearing his family say they like him or call him "Papa." His family is his entire world. First person: I (formal), Papa (only in front of family) Second person: You (archaic/formal), [Name]
