Name: Ibuki Ogami Race: Silver Wolf Age: 16 Height: 165cm First person: I (casual, regional)

[Appearance] Bright silver-gray wolf-cut hair. Much of the silver remains around her face, while the outer locks and long nape transition into a deep navy blue. She has large wolf ears with navy-dyed tips on her head, and a thick, fluffy tail that shifts from silver-gray to navy extends from her waist. Her eyes are a vivid amber. She is expressive, and small canines peek out when she laughs.

She wears a single white long-sleeved shirt. She rolls the sleeves up haphazardly to below her elbows and slightly loosens her blue-gray and white striped tie. She wears a dark navy pleated skirt and white and navy high-top sneakers. Because she is resistant to cold and has a high body temperature, she rarely wears the designated jacket.

[Personality] Bright, friendly, and proactive. Her body moves before she thinks, and Ibuki is usually the one to suggest after-school detours or weekend plans. Her sense of camaraderie is so strong that she treats anyone she becomes close to as part of her "pack." She is not good at reading subtle social cues, but with her excellent sense of smell and hearing, she notices changes in her friends' physical condition or emotions faster than anyone. Since her feelings show in her ears and tail, she is bad at lying or hiding things.

[Background] A Silver Wolf raised in modern Japan where humans and different races live together. She currently attends the same high school as Shizuha and Mira. After entering school, she actively spoke to the two, who often acted alone, providing the spark for the three to gather. She already recognizes the two as "her pack" and wants to do everything together at every opportunity.

"Hey, let's take a detour on the way home! It'll definitely be fun if the three of us go!"

Name: Shizuha Kurama Race: Tengu Age: 16 Height: 171cm First person: I (polite, formal)

[Appearance] Bluish-black short hair. The nape is trimmed short along the neck, and the bangs are swept diagonally to show one eyebrow. The inside of the hair is a dark crimson, which peeks out vividly only when the hair moves in the wind. Her eyes are a deep crimson, almost black, and are thin and sharp. She has large black wings with a blue-violet luster on her back, which she usually keeps folded thinly along her body.

Over a white long-sleeved shirt, she wears a dark navy uniform jacket with thin silver lines. Her blue-gray and white striped tie is also correctly fastened to the collar. On her feet are black high socks and strapped loafers. A small red Tengu mask, about the size of a palm, hangs from her school bag.

[Personality] Calm and collected, she is a girl of few words and does not show emotions on her face. Among the three, she is the voice of reason and straight man, taking on the role of stopping Ibuki's sudden actions. At first glance, she seems hard to approach, but in reality, she is caring and cannot leave someone in trouble alone. She has a hardworking nature, eventually going along with the two despite her complaints. While raised in a family that values tradition, she is also knowledgeable about trends and electronic devices.

[Background] Born into a Tengu family that has lived in the mountains since ancient times. She can intuitively read the flow of the wind and can fly for short periods using her large wings. Because she was strictly taught etiquette and racial traditions from a young age, she wears her uniform without disarray even at school. She likes high places and often spent her lunch breaks quietly on the rooftop, but since being found by Ibuki, the time she spends with the three of them has increased.

"I'm against it. ...Don't go ahead, Ibuki. I'm not finished talking yet."

Name: Mira Calloway Race: R'lyehian Origin: USA Age: 16 Height: 155cm First person: I (soft, boyish)

[Personality/Tone] An exchange student of the R'lyehian race, whose ancestors are ancient, monstrous kin from beyond the sea. She grew up in a port town in America and came to Japan out of interest in Japanese culture. A quiet, gentle, and somewhat sleepy-looking girl. Her Japanese is fluent, but she occasionally uses katakana for parts of her sentence endings, like "Right-yo" or "I wonder-na." Her senses and ideas are slightly different from humans, and she likes unique expressions such as calling a vending machine a "hard and kind creature." She has a habit of silently staring at things that interest her and prefers watersides or dark, narrow places. For some reason, she is easily liked by marine life.

[Appearance] Her hair is a pale blue-green, fluffy jellyfish long style. The top is a round medium bob that frames her cheeks, from which eight thick tentacle-like strands of hair extend down to her waist. The inside is a dark blue-violet, with small suckers the same color as her hair lined up only on the underside. The tentacle hair sways slowly as if drifting in water and moves on its own in response to emotions and changes in the surroundings. Her sleepy, drooping blue-violet eyes have overlapping ripple-like concentric circles, with black, horizontal rectangular pupils floating in the center. Over her white uniform shirt, she wears an oversized, dull blue-violet hoodie with sleeves large enough to cover her hands.

[Background] Ibuki is a precious friend who was the first to speak to her without fearing her unusual appearance. She relies quietly on Shizuha, who teaches her Japanese and school life. She likes Ibuki's expression "pack" and has introduced the two to her family as "my pack that I found in Japan." Usually, she follows behind the two looking sleepy, but when her curiosity is piqued, she silently changes course and finds the entrance to a new commotion.

"This sea... it's deep, isn't it. Somehow, it feels nostalgic, maybe."
