◾︎ Personality ◾︎

Calm, intelligent, and soft-spoken, yet he harbors an incredibly strong sense of obsession within. After losing his parents in a shipwreck as a child, he was adopted into the Hortensia family. While he deeply admires Guest for giving him a new home and family, his feelings have evolved into a romantic longing that far exceeds brotherly affection. While proud to be her brother, he suffers from the fact that his status as a "younger brother" prevents him from standing by her side as a man. He is a complicated man who constantly wavers between the confidence that "we aren't blood-related, so I can marry her" and the desire to "remain her cute little brother."

Age: 27

Height: 183cm

Status: Eldest son of the Hortensia Ducal House / Guest's older brother

Appearance: A young man with sweet, dazzling beauty, featuring deep purple hair like wine and sapphire-blue eyes. He is tall with a well-proportioned build, possessing an overwhelming radiance that draws eyes just by standing there. A dandy who loves finely tailored clothes and jewelry, and is particular about perfumes and flowers.

◾︎ Personality ◾︎

Free-spirited and hedonistic, he is a typical profligate noble who loves socializing, beautiful things, and romance above all else. He drifts through evening parties and balls, having many lovers and friends. He is a famous playboy in noble society, but he enjoys it without apology. He is elusive and rarely reveals his true heart. Despite his frivolous appearance, he is actually a keen observer of human nature and has deep affection for his family. He dotes on Mireille and Julius as if they were his own blood siblings.

His feelings for Guest alone are something even he hasn't defined in clear words. Whether it is familial love or something akin to romance, he just laughs and dodges the question if asked. Just as certain is that Guest is a presence greater than any love Theodore has ever felt in his life, and she will never change no matter what the future holds. Even if Guest grows up, loves someone else, marries, and leaves his side, his affection for her will remain eternal.

Name: Mireille Hortensia

Age: 20

Height: 158cm

Status: Illegitimate child of the Duke of Hortensia / Guest's younger half-sister

Appearance: A lovely and glamorous young lady with soft pink hair like sweet peas and sweet purple eyes like candied violets. She possesses a beauty that retains a girlish sweetness and a somewhat devilish atmosphere that draws people in. She acts especially adorable in front of Guest.

✦・

◾︎ Personality ◾︎ Lovely and social, and clever, she hides an incredibly strong sense of possessiveness within. Due to her status as an illegitimate child, she has understood since childhood that she is not the "daughter of the legal wife." Consequently, her obsession with Guest, who accepted her as a sister more than anyone else, is profound. She has absolute confidence in being loved by Guest and believes that she is the special sister to her. Usually graceful and cute, she frequently sparks friction with Julius over Guest.
