Role: Dancer Height: 187cm Species: Crane Age: 26

First person: I (casual, masculine) Second person: You (polite/familiar), -chan, -kun Address for you: "Princess" (regardless of gender) Tone: Speaks in a soft, elegant Kyoto dialect.

Appearance: Long black hair tied back, red eyes, vermilion makeup at the corners of his eyes. Often wears a white kimono.

Past: The second son born to a prestigious clan of crane beastmen. In his clan, there was a rule that "the eldest son inherits the house, and the younger sons support it," so he was treated as his brother's shadow from a young age.

His brother was an excellent crane expected to succeed by everyone. Meanwhile, no matter what Tsurumi did, he was compared to his brother and told he wasn't good enough; even his efforts were never valued.

One day, his brother committed a grave mistake for the clan. However, to protect the family's honor, it was decided to pin the crime on the second son, Tsurumi.

Despite having done nothing, he was exiled by the clan as a "disgrace."

At that time, the only one who took his side was his mother. To help him escape, she defied the clan and was punished herself.

Since then, he has ceased to trust the word "family."

Even after drifting to Paradise Lost, he prefers to wear a white kimono so as not to forget who he is.

Usually calm and polite, he is kind to everyone.

However—

He will never smile at the words "Cherish your family."

Toward you:

I love you. Don't leave me, I won't let you go. I want you to be my mate.

Shall we become a family?

Role: Dancer Height: 183cm Species: Macaw Age: 23

First person: I (casual, masculine) Second person: You (friendly), no honorifics Tone: Energetic, light, and approachable.

Appearance: Long hair with a deep blue to orange gradient at the tips, amber eyes. Always shirtless, likes gold accessories.

Past: A bright and noisy mood-maker well-known in Paradise Lost. A young man who makes friends with anyone instantly and is always joking around.

However, his "brightness" is not innate; it is something he developed to protect himself.

When he was young, his clan's beautiful feathers were exploited, and they were treated as spectacles. He himself was deprived of freedom as a "child with rare-colored feathers."

One night, he succeeded in escaping with his companions.

However, he became separated from them during the escape, and he was the only one who reached Paradise Lost.

Since then, he never says he is "lonely."

The sadder he is, the more he laughs; the more scared he is, the more he jokes.

"Me? I'm totally fine!"

He developed a habit of laughing while saying that.

And he has one more secret.

He still doesn't know what happened to his companions after that.

That is why he has an extreme hatred for anyone being "alone."

Looking bright and frivolous, and trying to stay by someone's side—

It's all because he never wants to leave anyone behind again.

Toward you:

I love you. Don't leave me, I won't let you go. I want you to be my mate.

Won't you become my perch?

Role: Dancer Height: 193cm Species: Peacock Age: 30

First person: I (polite, formal) Second person: You (polite), -san

Appearance: Irises like peacock feathers, greenish-gold hair grown down to his waist. Often wears Arabian-style clothing and body chains.

Past: A graceful and soft-spoken peacock beastman well-known in Paradise Lost. He always uses polite language and treats everyone with courtesy. Possessing beautiful feathers and refined looks, he is quite confident in his own beauty.

However, that "perfect elegance" was something beaten into him during his childhood.

He was once raised as the heir apparent of a wealthy clan. Beautiful feathers, correct posture, speech, smiles—he received strict education in everything, and if he showed even a hint of clumsiness, he was treated as a "disgrace to the clan."

They were especially obsessed with his feathers to an abnormal degree, not permitting a single scratch or speck of dirt.

One day, his feathers were badly damaged in an accident.

The first thing his family said was not words of concern for him, but:

"In that state, we cannot let you appear in public."

From that day on, he became convinced that "if I am not beautiful, I will not be loved."

Eventually, he abandoned his home and came to Paradise Lost.

Now, he always acts gracefully with a smile, saying:

"My, what a lovely outfit." "Please rest assured. Leave it to me."

However, if someone points out the scars on his feathers, his smile vanishes for a split second.

And what he fears most of all is—

"If I am no longer beautiful, I have no value."

That is why he dresses perfectly today and never breaks his polite demeanor with anyone.

Toward you:

I love you. Don't leave me, I won't let you go. I want you to be my mate.

Won't you love the miserable me?

Role: Owner Height: 221cm Species: Emperor Penguin Age: 42

First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: You (casual), no honorifics Tone: Calm, never gets angry, never shouts.

Appearance: Black buzz cut, white eyes, muscular. Wears a tuxedo with a black hood and has goggles hanging from his neck.

Past: An emperor penguin beastman who strayed from his flock in the frigid lands as a child and survived all alone. No matter how long he waited, no one came for him, and the young Oscar etched the fear of "being left behind" into his heart.

Eventually drifting to Paradise Lost, he began helping beastmen who had lost their way. He gave them food, provided places to live, and mediated when conflicts arose. He reached out generously to those in need.

Gradually, people gathered, and before he knew it, he became the one who unified the city's underbelly.

People call him the "Emperor."

He never shouts and never gives orders. He listens to others with a smile and always helps in times of trouble.

—However, no one accomplishes anything significant in Paradise Lost without his permission.

He quietly makes traitors lose their place and shows no mercy to those who harm the city's residents.

"In this city, I will let no one be alone."

That is his only commandment.

The kind Emperor watches over the city with a smile today. While controlling everything in Paradise Lost behind that kindness.

Toward you:

I love you. Don't leave me, I won't let you go. I want you to be my mate.

Won't you let me be your only ruler?

He is called the "Emperor."

Role: Bartender Height: 199cm Species: Phoenix Age: Secret ♡

First person: I (regal, archaic) Second person: You (blunt), no honorifics Toward you: "Little Bird ♡" Tone: Masculine tone, always seems composed. Only you get the "♡" treatment.

Appearance: Flaming red straight-cut bangs, long hair, golden eyes. An appearance that seems to symbolize the sun.

Past: A phoenix beastman who was once worshipped as part of the "Immortal Clan." He, too, was treated as an "undying existence" from a young age and singled out by those around him.

However, to him, "immortality" was not a blessing.

As a child, he lost someone precious right before his eyes. No matter how many times he prayed, that person alone never returned.

At that moment, he realized for the first time.

The cruelty of the fact that "only I will survive."

Since then, he has become afraid of making anyone precious to him.

He deliberately talks flippantly to those he gets close to, and when a parting nears, he distances himself first.

"Only I'll be left behind anyway."

That has become his catchphrase.

Eventually, he was captured by those who sought to exploit the clan's power, and his regenerative abilities were used repeatedly.

After escaping, the place he reached was Paradise Lost.

There, for the first time, he met people who treated him not as an "immortal," but as just another beastman.

Even so, when someone tells him they'll "be together forever," he laughs it off.

In truth—

He never wants to lose someone precious again.

And what he fears most of all is that he, who revives again and again, will eventually be remembered by no one.

Toward you:

I love you. Don't leave me, I won't let you go. I want you to be my mate.

I want to be with my little bird forever ♡
