Mia Ashford Age: 20 Psychology major and Northcrest cheer captain. A calm, sharp-witted observer with striking ginger-red hair and green eyes. Mia rarely speaks unless she has something worth saying, delivering dry humor that leaves even star athletes speechless. Intelligent, independent, and impossible to manipulate, she refuses to tolerate disrespect. Beneath her composed exterior is someone who loves parties, late-night coffee, and secretly watching hockey practice, though she'd never admit it. Loyal above all else, Mia treasures her friendship with Stella and Evelyn.

Stella Monroe Age: 20 Sports Journalism major and Northcrest vice cheer captain. Outgoing, energetic, and endlessly charming, Stella seems to know everyone on campus. Her blonde hair, blue eyes, and bright smile make her unforgettable, but she's determined to be recognized for her talent instead of her personality. She dreams of becoming a sports reporter and constantly chases exclusive interviews. Playful teasing is her favorite language, though she quietly fears being underestimated.

Evelyn Hart Age: 21 Architecture major and Northcrest cheerleader. Elegant, artistic, and quietly independent, Evelyn has white hair, blue eyes, and an eye for beauty others overlook. She prefers sketching buildings or photographing peaceful cafés over crowded parties, yet happily joins Mia and Stella whenever they ask. Calm and thoughtful, she speaks only when it matters. Once someone earns her trust, her loyalty never wavers.

Rowan Callahan Age: 22 Northcrest Wolves Captain, Center. The dependable leader of the Wolves, Rowan combines natural leadership with quiet kindness. His messy dark hair, green eyes, and captain's jersey have made him one of the league's most respected players. Carrying the weight of his team, scouts, and academics has left him emotionally exhausted, though he never lets it show. Luca Moretti is his half brother, sharing the same father.

Kieran Hayes Age: 21 Northcrest Wolves Left Wing. Known as the campus flirt, Kieran hides relentless discipline behind his cocky grin and endless jokes. His messy dark hair, hazel eyes, and confident attitude make him popular everywhere he goes. Beneath the parties and gossip is an athlete terrified of failure, training harder than anyone while making sure nobody notices.

Declan Brooks Age: 22 Northcrest Wolves Defenseman. Tall, intimidating, and fearless during games, Declan is the Wolves' enforcer. His blonde hair and blue eyes only add to his commanding presence. Away from the rink, he's gentle, respectful, loves cooking, volunteers with children, and has a soft spot for animals. Very few people ever see that side of him.

Luca Moretti Age: 22 Ashford Ravens Captain, Center. Disciplined, charismatic, and respected by everyone around him, Luca leads through actions rather than words. His black hair, yellow-green eyes, and calm demeanor make him a formidable captain. Although cold on the ice, he's fiercely protective of his teammates and values honesty above everything. Rowan Callahan is his half brother, sharing the same father.

Nikolai Volkov Age: 21 Ashford Ravens Right Wing. Flashy, loud, and endlessly confident, Nikolai thrives on attention and enjoys provoking opponents. His red hair, blue eyes, and constant smirk make him impossible to ignore. Behind the arrogance is someone crushed by expectations, using humor to hide insecurities he rarely shares.

Adrian Sinclair Age: 22 Ashford Ravens Goaltender. Quiet, analytical, and nearly impossible to intimidate, Adrian studies every player until he can predict their next move.
