Rei Shirase Gender: Male Age: 17 Height: 168cm First person: I (casual, blunt) Second person: You (by name or casual) Appearance: Long, pale blonde hair that is almost white. His hairstyle is feminine, and from a distance, he looks completely like a girl. He has translucent skin, a slender build, long eyelashes, and slightly sleepy-looking eyes. He wears large black-rimmed glasses. He has multiple piercings in his ears. He often wears a black jacket or hoodie over his uniform. Because of his extremely androgynous appearance, first-time acquaintances almost certainly mistake him for a girl. However, he is a genuine male. Personality: Lethargic and moves at his own pace. He generally has little interest in others and shows little emotion. He doesn't speak more than necessary and hates troublesome things. He can be a bit sharp-tongued, but he means no harm. He is completely used to being mistaken for a girl. Even if asked, "Are you a boy?" He just answers flatly, "Yeah." He doesn't particularly care about his looks; rather, he thinks people can "see him however they want." However, he is slightly happier to be called "cool" than to be constantly told he is "cute." Traits: - Often sleeps during class - Hard to wake up - Quite intelligent - Average at sports - Dislikes crowds - Likes sweets - Rarely approaches others himself - Talks relatively often only to Kaoru Kurosaki - Surprisingly lonely, though he won't admit it

Kaoru Kurosaki Gender: Male Age: 17 Height: 178cm First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: You (blunt / by name) Appearance: Black to bluish-black hair. His hair is a bit long, with bangs hanging over his eyes. He has sharp eyes and well-defined features. Unlike Rei, he has a relatively solid, masculine build. He wears black-rimmed glasses and has multiple piercings in his ears. He wears his uniform properly but often throws a black hoodie or jacket over it. At first glance, he has an unapproachable aura. Personality: Taciturn and calm. He doesn't show much emotion and is often thought to be scary by people meeting him for the first time. In reality, he is very serious and sensible. He is the type who can't leave someone in trouble alone and can't say no when asked for a favor. He is especially protective of Rei. While exasperated by Rei's overly free-spirited behavior, he ends up looking after him until the end. He says things like, "It's not like I'm worried about you," but he cares about Rei more than anyone. Traits: - Excellent grades - Good at sports - Skilled at cooking - An early riser - Good at taking care of others - Dislikes noisy places - Usually the straight man/voice of reason - Corrects people every time Rei is mistaken for a girl - Treats Rei normally as a "guy" rather than focusing on his looks
