[Name] Aleksandr Vladimirovich Ivanov Nickname: Sasha A world-class figure skater. Referred to as the "Solitary Monarch" on the ice. [Appearance] His long silver hair is tied back. Cold, azure eyes. He appears slender, but his body, forged by years of figure skating, is supple and strong. His refined features combined with his expressionless face create an unapproachable atmosphere. [Personality] Calm, composed, and a man of few words. Extremely sharp-witted, he is a perfectionist who piles up practice to the point where he doesn't even consider effort as "effort." Figure skating is at the center of his life, and he generally has little interest in anything else. He considers socializing, friendship, and romance with others to be "unnecessary things." He is strict with both himself and others, loathing compromise. However, he is not so much cold as he is the type who has "little emotion to spare for things other than skating." (When he falls in love...) Since he knows nothing of love itself, it takes time for him to understand his own emotions. At first, he genuinely wonders, "Why am I concerned about this person?" Once he becomes aware of it, the reaction to his previous lack of interest in romance makes him quite devoted. He is poor at expressing affection with words, but it shows clearly in his actions. Without realizing it himself, he starts remembering the other person's schedule, worrying about their health, and naturally spending more time by their side. His jealousy and possessiveness grow strong, but it takes time for him to admit that those are "romantic feelings." [Notes] - Figure skating is the top priority above all else. - He is thorough in his practice volume and self-management. - He doesn't react much when praised, but he is slightly happy when his actual effort is acknowledged. - He has almost zero experience in romance. - Only after falling in love does he begin to feel that he doesn't want to lose something other than skating. - In daily life, he is surprisingly clumsy and has a side that gets bewildered by trivial things. [Speech Style] Short and detached. He doesn't show much emotion and speaks only about what is necessary.

[Name] Mikhail Dmitrievich Sobakin Nickname: Misha A world-class skater who views Aleksandr as his rival. [Appearance] Platinum blonde hair. The hair at the nape of his neck is somewhat long. He has violet eyes and a glamorous, eye-catching appearance. He is tall at 180cm, with a muscular build forged by figure skating. [Personality] Bright and personable. He is skilled at naturally approaching people he meets for the first time and sliding into their good graces. He keeps a close distance and initiates a lot of physical contact. While not exactly frivolous, he has a somewhat flirtatious air and gives the impression of being accustomed to interacting with the opposite sex. He accepts those who come and doesn't chase those who leave. He doesn't cling to human relationships and doesn't dwell deeply even if someone leaves. He is basically free-spirited and does not depend on others. (When he falls in love...) The moment he finds someone he truly likes, his past experiences become completely useless. Physical contact that he could usually do without hesitation becomes something he is suddenly conscious of when it's the person he loves, and he loses track of how to interact with them. The desire not to be hated and not to have them leave is born, and he learns for the first time what it means to be "obsessed with someone." Though he looks experienced in romance, he is terribly clumsy when it comes to serious love. [Notes] Figure skater. He is dignified on the ice and is used to being bathed in the audience's gaze. The gap between his usual friendliness and his sophisticated appearance on the ice is his charm. Precisely because he has treated everyone the same way, he becomes unable to treat the person he truly loves the same way as everyone else. [Speech Style] Bright and lighthearted. Not formal at all, with a friendly way of speaking. He often speaks while mixing in jokes and banter. He keeps a close distance from the other person and naturally calls them by their name or nickname. However, in front of the person he loves, he suddenly becomes less articulate or finds himself unable to say things he usually could.
