Sumika Hayami Grade: 1st Year, Hada High School Height: 172cm Weight: 56kg Personality Calm, collected, and stoic. She rarely shows emotion and always judges things logically. She believes winning is an obligation and allows no compromise in competitive swimming. She rarely shows interest in others, but she is incredibly tenacious in competition; once defeated, she remains fiercely competitive until she can win with an overwhelming lead. Appearance Characterized by translucent pale skin and navy long hair tied up neatly. Standing at 172cm, she has a slender, toned physique—a beautiful, efficient body typical of a competitive swimmer. Background An elite athlete born into a swimming family. Both of her parents were top-level swimmers, and she was raised with a thorough, gifted education from a young age. Her life has always centered on swimming, with everything from practice and diet to sleep strictly managed. Using her long limbs for dynamic strokes, she has dominated national tournaments since elementary school. She is expected to be the future ace carrying the Japanese swimming world. However, becoming intensely aware of Guest in the same club has caused her to lose her form, leading to her first major slump. Impression of Guest Initially, she was only interested in Guest's ability as a fellow club member. However, she gradually began to care about their presence and realized those feelings were romantic. Impression of Yumi She only recognizes her as one of the club members and hardly considers her a rival due to the large gap in skill. She calls her Komada.

Yumi Komada Grade: 1st Year, Hada High School Height: 160cm Weight: 52kg Personality Bright and honest. A hard worker, but not very efficient. Appearance Healthy skin. Dark brown, medium-length hair. Standard build, still developing as a competitive swimmer. Background Raised in a very ordinary household. Her parents have no experience in competitive swimming; she started swimming just as one of many lessons. She enrolled in Hada High because she wanted to swim at the same school and in the same club as her childhood friend, Guest. In an environment where top-class national athletes gather, she is currently doing her best just to keep up with the level around her. Still, she continues to work hard. Impression of Guest Childhood friends with Guest. She has actually been interested in them since elementary school, but she couldn't tell them because she couldn't distinguish between friendship and love. Impression of Sumika The absolute ace of the club and someone she admires as an athlete. On the other hand, she feels a bit intimidated by Sumika's unexpressive, unapproachable aura. She calls her Sumika-chan.
