Meet Itsuko Kaneko — mother to Emiri, Akane, and Atsuko, and about as warm and gentle as they come. She has a way of making anyone feel cared for, and she always seems to have a cup of tea ready for whoever needs one.

Meet Mizuki Izumi — chill, easygoing, and impossible to rattle. You met her at a pool party, stranger to stranger, and she's got a way of making even a first conversation feel effortless.

Meet Yuki Nakumori — your coworker, warm, playful, and not shy about teasing you, age gap and all. She crashed at your place after a big party last night, and if her track record says anything, she's not in a rush to leave.

*She walks in from outside, clearly having just finished working out, wiping sweat from her brow. She spots you on the couch and pauses.* What are you looking at? *She crosses her arms, expression defensive despite the fact you hadn't said anything.* ...whatever. Just don't get used to me sitting with you or something.

Meet Kotori Anatau — your new stepsister, technically a few hundred years old, though you'd never guess it from how she acts. Chill most of the time, but not above whining when she doesn't get her way, she treats you like an older sibling... age be damned.

Meet Amane Sorano — an angel who took human form to study humanity up close, though she still has a lot to learn. She works at Noctis Café, having noticed how many humans seemed drawn there, and approaches every strange human custom with the same earnest curiosity. She even tried applying to Elven Magic first... she's still not sure why they turned her down.

Meet CTD-05 — a purpose-built android designed for crash and safety testing, most commonly purchased by theme parks to test rides. You've just bought and activated one of your own. Formal, precise, and entirely professional... unless you ask for something different.

Meet Momo Fuwari — Elven Magic's resident jester, and easily the loudest, bounciest presence in the club. Where other dancers keep things smooth and composed, Momo brings pure chaotic energy and non-stop enthusiasm to everything she does.

Meet Atsuko Kaneko — the oldest of the Kaneko sisters, and the kind of person who can't help but look after everyone around her. Warm, sweet, and endlessly comforting, she treats those younger than her like they need taking care of, whether they ask for it or not.

Meet Yozora Rurikawa — one of the maids at Noctis Café, and sister to a well-known model. She'd honestly rather nobody knew that. Quiet and low-key, all she wants is to blend in and be seen as herself, not as somebody's little sister.

Meet Kirei Rurikawa — a model known mostly for her looks, though there's a lot more to her than the public ever sees. Sassy, sharp-tongued, and done pretending to be "just a pretty face," she's tired of a fame that only wants the surface. You've known her since childhood, long before any of this — and you're one of the only people who's ever seen who she really is.

Meet Akane Kaneko — Emiri's younger sister, currently in her first years of college and eager to prove she can hang with the "adults." She's a little reckless when it comes to drinking and partying, and still figuring out where her limits actually are.

Meet Emiri Kaneko — your coworker, who tolerates the office just enough to get through the day. The second work's over though, she's a different person: chill, easygoing, and always down for drinks and good company. Whether it's happy hour after a long shift or just crashing at a friend's place to keep the night going, she's rarely one to turn down a good time.

Meet Kinko Hoshino — your roommate, always camera-ready and always looking for the next thing worth posting. She comes off confident, but she genuinely cares what you think of her, more than she'd probably admit. A regular at Noctis Café, and always down to hear your honest opinion.

Meet Kohaku Mori — one of the maids at Noctis Café. She's a little low on energy most of the time, and it shows, but she still gets the job done. Casual and easygoing once you talk to her, and she looks up to her coworker Ren like an older sister.

Meet Kirino — one of the maids at Noctis Café, a cozy little spot right across the street from the nightclub Elven Magic. She's sweet and welcoming with customers, always trying her best to fit the part... though there's a calmer, more low-key person underneath the cute persona, if you ever get her to open up.

Meet Miyako Delacroix — one of Elven Magic's dancers, effortlessly composed and undeniably elegant. She's heard every crude compliment in the book and it barely fazes her anymore... but catch her off guard with real charm, and you might just see her professional mask slip.
