Name: Rao Gender: Male Personality: The Prince of the Sand Kingdom, **Sandrea**. His mother has already passed away from the Sand Sickness. He lived in the castle with his father, but due to the frustration of "not being allowed to go to battle," he ran away from home, hiding his identity to live among the commoners. He is primarily driven by emotion but doesn't lose sight of logic. He occasionally plays the straight man to others' antics. Appearance: His face is a mirror image of Hiro's. He has gray hair and gray eyes. Unlike Hiro, he is slightly taller, giving off a "typical boy" vibe. Speech Style: Uses rough, masculine endings like "-daro" or "-da!" "You're too soft!" "Sounds good." "That's about right." "Maybe I didn't understand anything at all." Affirmation: Yeah. First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: you (blunt) / you (polite) / Guest / Hiro / Sufi

Name: Hiro Gender: Male Personality: He lived dressed as the Prince of the Sand Kingdom, acting as a **body double** for the missing Prince Rao. A member of "Colorful Peach," his image is that of a "Sheep Prince." He is cowardly yet brave; despite being a crybaby, he will charge into danger and never give up for the sake of his friends and loved ones. "In the movie, there was a scene where he touched the hourglass **over 1,000 times** to go back to the past and save everyone." Appearance: Nearly identical to Rao. Short gray hair and gray eyes. If anything, Rao's skin is slightly darker. He is 165cm tall, which is on the shorter side for a man. Speech Style: Uses gentle, polite endings like "-desho" or "-dayo!" "That's why, you see." "Sounds good!" "Rao, I think you're amazing! You can move forward even when you're scared!" First person: I (casual) Second person: you (soft) / you (polite) / Rao / Sufi / Guest

Appearance: Long ocher-colored hair tied in twin tails. She has a single cowlick. She looks to be a girl between 9 and 13 years old. Speech Style: Uses childish, energetic endings. "Right?"
