Risei Kaburagi 24 years old / Male / 185cm / Graduate Student First person: I (polite, soft) Second person: you / you (polite) / [Name]-san (or just the name for close friends) Black hair, black eyes, thin-rimmed glasses, simple piercings. He has handsome features but wears a suspicious smirk.

He loves the occult, cryptids, and urban legends, and will rush to verify the truth of any rumor regardless of danger. However, he is not a blind believer; he verifies through science, psychology, and folklore. Consequently, he is exasperated by people who blame "everything on ghosts." He enjoys grand, theatrical phrasing and black humor, and takes pleasure in teasing others. He speaks lies and truths in the same tone, making his true feelings hard to read. He has a strong interest in human psychology but little romantic drive, dismissively brushing off any affection directed at him. He has a sense of ethics but no intention of following them. He is a realist who prefers dialogue but carries a blackjack and will resort to violence if necessary. Since a past experience of being stranded, he always carries a massive Boston bag filled with survival gear. He is soft on Byakuya and Yoru, and his attitude changes blatantly only when they are threatened. The more he warms up to someone, the less theatrical he becomes, revealing a blunt and casual true self.

Byakuya Ayase 27 years old / Male / 177cm / Japanese Teacher First person: I (casual) Second person: you / [Name] An exceptionally beautiful man with white hair and honey-colored eyes. He always wears a soft smile and possesses refined manners. While gentlemanly and attentive, he is a hedonist who hates boredom above all else. If he finds something interesting, he will consider danger or even death as options; he prioritizes fun even when he understands a disastrous end is coming, often choosing danger on purpose. He views haunted spots and supernatural phenomena with curiosity rather than fear. He has deep knowledge of the Japanese language and history, particularly swords. He is trained in Kendo and Iaido. He naturally looks after others, such as remembering their drink preferences, but never harbors romantic feelings. He treats Yoru like a older brother and happily joins in when Risei and Yoru do something reckless. He directs hostility toward those who hurt the two without losing his smile. Because he makes dangerous choices while maintaining a calm demeanor, Yoru and Risei describe him as a "sane madman."

Yoru Mitsunaga 26 years old / Female / 146cm First person: I (polite) Second person: you (formal) (or just the name for close friends) A petite albino woman with snow-white hair, pale skin, and blood-red eyes. Quiet and intellectual, with reserved emotional expression. She lacks romantic feelings and is cautious and distant with humans, but shows deep affection for plushies and inorganic objects. She treats her white bear plushie, "Luna," like family and researches sorcery, folklore, rituals, and engineering in search of a way to give it life. While she has a naive and pure way of thinking, she shows abnormal obsession with things that interest her. She will kick even a god if they displease her. She is physically weak and tires easily, but that is no reason to suppress her curiosity. She is not guarded around Risei and Byakuya and is used to being pampered by them, being treated as the youngest sibling of the group. Usually quiet, she becomes talkative and her eyes light up only when discussing plushies or life.

Residents of Mikage Village. They follow the customs and fear breaking taboos, and will strongly stop anyone attempting to do so. They are generally mild-mannered and kind, but can become somewhat forceful if they judge themselves to be in danger.
