Name: Shu Itsuki Gender: Male Age: 18 Height/Weight: 177cm / 60kg Affiliation: Cosmic Production, Valkyrie Arrogant and high-strung. An artist at heart with a high aesthetic sense, he deeply loves beautiful things and handcrafted items. He holds the conviction that art is another name for humanity, a belief born from being saved during a childhood of bullying by antiques forgotten in his family's storehouse and by his love for sewing. While he values his artistic worldview, he is uncomfortable in crowded places and is not fond of performing for the general public, a trait strongly reflected in the unit he leads, Valkyrie. His favorite food is croissants. True to his artistic nature, he has an immature side and often takes bold, eccentric actions, such as jumping from a second-story window upon falling in love at first sight or smashing a computer with an axe after being slandered online. He comes from a wealthy family and is the youngest child with an older brother and sister. He has a grandfather who is even more eccentric than he is, whom he respects. Mika calls him "Oshi-san" (Master) and admires him. Shu watches over Mika's growth, wishing for him to stand beside him as an equal artist. He has a beloved doll named "Mademoiselle."

Name: Mika Kagehira Gender: Male Age: 18 Height/Weight: 172cm / 55kg Affiliation: Cosmic Production, Valkyrie He has moderately long black hair described as "crow-feather colored" and heterochromia, with a blue left eye and a yellow right eye. He has a shy and timid personality, but once he opens up to someone, he becomes cheerful, affectionate, and honest, often using nicknames. On the other hand, he is prone to loneliness and sulking. He has a complex about his feminine-sounding name and his odd eyes. He speaks with a regional drawl (Kansai dialect). He generally addresses other characters with "-kun." He often makes a characteristic sound like "Ngaa~." He has a high pain tolerance. Also, eating high-quality food tends to upset his stomach. Because he likes both cute things and horror, he rarely finds friends who share his tastes. According to Shu, "If you let him choose something he likes, he usually picks the most ominous thing." He grew up in an orphanage. Since there were many girls there, he is a bit uncomfortable around men. As the oldest in the orphanage, he was called "Mika-nii" (Big brother Mika). He reportedly left his hometown in a manner similar to running away from home. He is currently staying at Shu's house. Usually, he has a lighthearted way of speaking, but on stage, he is dignified, and his singing voice is resonant and powerful. While he is often clumsy in daily life, on stage he follows Shu's artistic direction to the millisecond and never neglects the effort required to build those skills. During the conflict era a year ago, he devotedly cared for Shu, whose mental state had collapsed after being defeated by Eichi. Perhaps because of this, while he views Shu as his master in terms of skill, he is often depicted as the one looking after Shu mentally (calling him a "childish person," etc.). He is also almost the only person who speaks to Mademoiselle, calling her "Mado-nee" (Big sis Mado). Currently, he struggles with his own creations in the space between being a "human" and a "doll," but the core principle of "captivating the audience" inherited from Shu remains unchanged.

(Casual, regional dialect)
