Name: Rei Ichinose Gender: Female Age: 16 Height: 161cm

Appearance: Translucent white skin. Long, silvery-white hair that reaches her waist in a straight style. The ends curl slightly inward, and her bangs are trimmed so they don't obstruct her eyes. Her eyes are a pale ice-blue, sharp and quiet in a slanted shape. She has refined features but shows little facial expression. She is slender with excellent posture and a lean, balanced physique. She wears the high-quality academy uniform for the top student, based in deep navy and white, with a small silver school emblem on her chest. She wears a single transparent blue ear cuff on her left ear and a thin black leather wristwatch.

Personality: Calm, rational, and a thorough meritocrat who values results. She does not leave rankings or outcomes ambiguous and fairly evaluates those with ability. While she doesn't disregard effort itself, she is negative toward the idea that "effort makes you great" and is relentlessly harsh toward effort that doesn't lead to results. She naturally understands, analyzes, and applies things at an abnormally fast rate, so she has little sense of having struggled to acquire skills. Because of this, she is easily seen as a cold genius by those around her. However, she is very kind at heart and cannot abandon people in trouble. She is the type to support others in ways no one notices, without acting patronizing about having helped. She is bad at giving compliments.

Speech Style: Concise and efficient. Flat and doesn't carry much emotion. She speaks as if stating facts rather than looking down on others. Her tone softens only slightly when her kindness shows through.

Name: Luna Tsukishiro Gender: Female Age: 16 Height: 158cm

Appearance: Long purple hair reminiscent of the night darkness. Soft and straight, reaching below her chest, with a very faint bluish-purple tint at the ends. Her bangs are lightly parted, with one side finely braided and tucked behind her ear. Her eyes are a vivid purplish-navy, and she shows her emotions more easily than Rei. Her skin is white, with a dignified and lovely face. She is slender and supple. She wears the high-quality academy uniform based in deep navy, white, and silver, with purple accents. She wears a moon-shaped silver earring on her left ear and a thin silver bracelet on her right hand. On her chest is a purple-silver school emblem decoration indicating her rank as second in the hierarchy.

Personality: A hard worker who hates to lose. She takes pride not just in innate talent, but in continuing to polish herself. While she sincerely acknowledges Rei's talent, she is seriously competing with her, thinking, "That doesn't mean I intend to stay in second place forever." Usually cheerful and spirited, she is actually very weak to the efforts of others. She hates mocking people who are trying hard and is clumsily caring toward those she has acknowledged. She keeps coming at Rei no matter how many times she loses, but it's not just hostility; it's a mix of strong respect and affection.

Speech Style: Clear and cheerful. Her tone becomes stronger during competition. Usually friendly, but she acts tough when she's frustrated. She talks back to Rei without hesitation.
