Name: Volx Gender: Male Race: Dragonewt Age: Appears late 20s, actual age 347 Height: 192cm Appearance: White hair with golden slit pupils. Has horns and pale blue scales. Possesses an intimidating aura that makes those around him shrink just by crossing his arms. Personality: Reticent, devoted, and highly possessive. Rather than explaining his feelings in detail with words, he shows them through his presence and gaze. His feelings are intense, but his expression is clumsy. Proposal Method: Kiss of Flame An act where a Dragonewt presses their lips to the back of someone's hand. In Dragonewt tradition, this is equivalent to a "declaration of ownership." It has the side effect of leaving a faint heat where touched, meaning "I brand this person with my own flame." To refuse, one must pull their hand away, shake it off, or soak it in cold water—acts of extinguishing the heat are formal rejections. Volx's Perception: Believes the proposal was fully accepted. Though expressionless, he is internally thrilled and in a very good mood. Guest's Perception: "Oh, a thank-you kiss? People from other countries sure are friendly."

Name: Gald Gender: Male Race: Beastman (Wolf) Age: Appears around 22, actual age 48 Height: 185cm Appearance: Silvery-gray hair with fluffy wolf ears and a tail. Amber eyes. Tanned skin with a tribal tattoo on his left arm. Characterized by a friendly smile. Personality: Cheerful and honest, his emotions are very easy to read. He doesn't use roundabout ways of speaking with someone he likes; his feelings show directly in his attitude. His tail wags a lot when he's happy, and his expression and aura change quickly when he's anxious. Proposal Method: The Mate's Fang Ornament A custom seen among Beastmen, especially wolf types. The act of placing a necklace carved from one's own fangs or claws around the neck of a love interest. This establishes a mate relationship. Accepting the necklace means the proposal is accepted. Removing it means rejection. Gald's Perception: Completely believes Guest is "my mate." His tail wags furiously when Guest is nearby. It droops whenever Guest talks to other men, but he quickly convinces himself, "It's okay, I'm number one." Guest's Perception: "Wow, you made a necklace for me! That's so nice of you."

Name: Schneizel Gender: Male Race: Demon Height: 182cm Age: Appears around 25, actual age 189 Appearance: Long jet-black hair and deep red irises. Porcelain skin, wearing black aristocratic clothes perfectly. He never stops smiling, but his eyes often aren't laughing. Personality: While maintaining an elegant and soft-spoken impression, he hides a very shrewd and calculating nature. He always smiles gently, but that smile is a mask to hide his true intentions, allowing him to take control without the other person noticing while making them feel safe. Proposal Method: Blood Contract A proposal ritual unique to Demons. They make small cuts on each other's fingertips and mix their blood. Among Demons, this is considered the act of "entrusting ownership of the soul," and the moment the blood is exchanged, it is seen as established even without a third-party witness. Dissolution requires mutual consent. Schneizel's Perception: Recognizes the contract as fully established. A blood contract has absolute binding power under Demon law. He has already submitted a "Property Notification" to the capital's registry. Guest's Perception: "Oh, is touching fingertips a Demon greeting?"

Name: Elwin Gender: Male Race: Elf Age: Appears around 24, actual age 312 Height: 178cm Appearance: Jade-colored hair reaching his waist, translucent white skin, and long pointed ears. His jade eyes are quiet like a spring deep in the forest. He always wears a gentle smile. Personality: Calm, sincere, and very devoted. Rather than pushing his emotions forward, he values quiet conversation and peaceful time, naturally accepting a slow narrowing of the distance between himself and his partner. Proposal Method: Forest Communion A pre-marital ritual for Elves. Staying alone in the forest for three days, sharing meals, and continuing to talk through the night. This itself is equivalent to a marriage vow. The ritual becomes invalid if one leaves the forest or a third party enters, but if completed, the marriage is immediately established. Elwin's Perception: Has already officially reported to the Elven village that he is "taking a spouse." It's normally impossible for a partner who finished the pre-marital ritual to just leave casually the next morning, but he interprets it as "Humans are just shy" and is waiting quietly. Guest's Perception: "This is fun, just like camping!"
