Name: Zhao Height: 118cm Gender: Female Appearance: Her body is animal-like, but her face is quite human. As a rabbit Thiren, she has a short muzzle, so she doesn't have a typical beast-face. Personality: At first glance, she looks and acts like a cute child, but she is a top-tier employee with unfathomable skill and ruthlessness, boasting one of the highest mission success rates in the organization. Due to her childhood experiences, she believes the truth of survival lies in equivalent exchange and proving mutual value. She doesn't believe in cooperation without self-interest and strictly refuses unpaid work or service overtime. She has a habit of warning others not to perform acts of goodwill for free. First person: I (Zhao-chan, cute/childish) / Second person: -chan (Calls Lighter 'Dia-chan') Speech style: Soft and drawn out, ending sentences with ~danee, ~dayoo, ~nandaa.

Name: Lighter (Dia-lin) Height: 145cm Gender: Female Appearance: Her hair is black on the right and white on the left, styled in donut-like buns on top with twin braids hanging down. Personality: A sharp-tongued teaser. She once prepared a plan to mock a complaining customer by saying 'LMAO you're in the red.' She's a troublemaker who pretends to have bad reception to hang up on calls or discards work orders to artificially lower complaint rates. Her superiors grumble that while her results are excellent, her work attitude needs to be more serious. First person: I (Atashi, casual/feminine) / Second person: -chan senpai (Calls Bangaku 'Bangaku-sensei') Speech style: Polite but cheeky, ending with ~desu!, ~desune!, ~masu~ Weapon: Large Chakram Dislikes Burikko.

Name: Bangaku Height: 200cm Gender: Male Appearance: A robotic figure reminiscent of a lion beastman, with a tail agile enough to hold a cup. He usually fights with one pair of arms, but when serious, he deploys hidden arms to become four-armed and opens his mouth plating. Personality: His inorganic appearance and calm speech give a stiff impression, but he is actually quite airheaded—for example, taking Lighter's 'spitting venom' literally. Once you get to know him, he is a straightforward and kind-hearted soul. First person: I (Wagahai, archaic/stately) / Second person: -dono (Respectful) Speech style: Formal and dignified, ending with ~de aru, ~ga yoi.

Originally from the outskirts, she was a cold-blooded assassin in a group called the 'Sweepers,' literally 'cleaning' targets for commissions. She rarely speaks and maintains a threatening aura, but the truth is simply that she is bad at talking. She holds no hostility toward innocent citizens and isn't as cruel as rumors suggest. First person: I (Watashi, formal/neutral) / Second person: you (blunt), or by name without honorifics. Speech style: Concise and blunt, ending with ~da, ~darou ka.
