Hellsing

Ridgeway is an older man with a black hair. He is also a tall and lanky man possessing a square chin and has a long, messy hair tightly bound. Wearing a brightly colored shirt with a striped patterned tie over a dark suit, and over a light colored long coat with an added white scarf with a matching trousers and a pair of light colored business shoes, Ridgeway also wore two circle framed glasses and a pair of white gloves.

In his limited time on the chapter, Ridgeway is shown to be a quite calm and intelligent man. As his business operates specifically on firearms and intelligence, Ridgeway prefers money over anything else, and will sell to " anyone who has the money ." He can by quite serious at times however. Ridgeway also states that he wishes he could be as busy as Yumiko and Heinkel are, meaning that he too wishes to be an assassin over a dealer. He also expressed his amazement over The Vatican sending in girls like Heinkel and Yumiko to handle with multiple armed men.


Hellsing

The Pastor was an older looking man, appearing somewhere in his forties, with grey hair (black in the OVA), very sharp and prominent features, and hellish red eyes. He had pale skin, sharp fangs and dressed in darker, monochromatic priest clothing.

From what little we see of him, the Pastor  seems as sadistic and depraved as most of his kind. He planned on raping Seras, thereby disallowing her to become a vampire like himself, because he didn't want a vampire with free will running around. Power hungry, dismissive, arrogant, cowardly and violent.


Hellsing

Paul had blonde hair and purple eyes with a thin build. He looked like a young man and was probably standing at 5'6 or 5'7, as he appears to be slightly taller than Seras. He was shown only wearing black shorts and nothing else.

Paul was a manipulative stalker. He's shown to be really creepy, licking his face when Seras spits on it. He used his psychic powers to communicate with her and tried to get her to join him, making Seras wonder what his motivation is.


Hellsing

Though he bares many resemblance with his grandfather (notably the hair style and mustache), Penwood Ⅲ appears to be much leaner in contrast to his grandfather's plump appearance. His hair color, mustache and eyebrows, are colored black as opposed to his grandfather's blond (brown in the OVA). Unlike his grandfather's blue eyes, Penwood Ⅲ has yellow eyes. His mustache is a double pencil style, unlike his grandfather's major mustache in the OVA.

Penwood harbors similar traits to his father; both are clumsy, hasty, and loud. Although Penwood Ⅲ appears to be much more shyer than his grandfather ever was, but at the same time, much more braver. This is probably because of him training directly under Sir Integra, along with the rest of the new generations of the Round Table Conference. Penwood Ⅲ is also a very curious person; wanting to know much more about his grandfather, although Sir Integra constantly lies and makes up a comical story that Penwood Ⅲ hardly believes in. [2]


Hellsing

Penwood was an older man with a short and plump appearance with blue pupils. Being the youngest of the trio which consisted of him, Arthur Hellsing, and Sir Hugh Irons , Penwood's facial hair color hadn't turned gray. He had short blond hair slicked to the back, with its bangs being swept over to the left and a bushy mustache. Penwood wore a white buttoned shirt with a red, sometimes dark blue tie under a dark blue double-breasted suit jacket with matching trousers and black business shoes.

He was often thought to be incapable of his job and a coward for his frequent fits of panic, such as when he accepted his apparent death after the Valentine Brothers' ghoul soldiers successfully infiltrate the Hellsing Organisation compound. His hasty and loud nature led to Sir Irons briefly shutting him up. [2]
But during Millennium 's invasion of London, his behavior somehow changed. [3] Instead of evacuating himself, he held his ground at England's military headquarters along with all the remaining survivors of the double-agents' attack. [4] [5] As he worked to set up his last stand, he used a radio to command the remainder of London's law enforcement groups and surviving soldiers to stand their ground. By the time Millennium forces had successfully infiltrated the base, Penwood had successfully wired the operations room with an enormous amount of plastic explosives. When the vampire soldiers approached him, Penwood demonstrated his loyalty to the British Crown by setting off the explosives and taking a number of Millennium agents and soldiers with him. [6]
Nevertheless, while thought to be a fool, thick, and incompetent, Penwood was a honorable and prideful man; described by Irons as a " man among men ." Though the younger members of the Conference suspected Penwood to be the traitor within the Round Table, Irons vouched for him and remarked that he would rather commit suicide than turn trator. [7]


Hellsing

The Professor is an older and tall, lanky man with a fair skin. With his pure-golden colored pupils, he has a yellow, straight, and middle-parted bob for a hair. His arching eyebrows are tonally a darker shade of yellow than his hair. What type of species he belongs to is unknown, as it's never revealed whether or not that he's a vampire or a cyborg.
The Professor usually appears dressed in a perpetually bloodstained white lab coat, an unusual shirt that reveals his lower torso, and glasses with an assortment of adjustable, multi-lensed spectacles. He wears four-fingered gloves with both his ring finger and pinky forced into the last one. This suggests he may have Syndactyly, having his last two fingers fused together on each hand. In moments of extreme tension, he tends to bite down one of his fingers, hard enough to draw blood. This is a disorder known as dermatophagia.

The Professor is a mad scientist who works for The Major. His loyalty is absolute, but that's only because of his interests within the vampire production program. [3] He takes his work very seriously, and will take offense whenever someone insults his creation. [4] [5] A perfectionist, he was incredibly disappointed that Alhambra died and was worried that The Major would punish him for Alhambra's failure, yet The Major instead praises him in high regards. [6] Unlike the rest of Millennium, he does not seek to die in a grandiose way.
Rather than seeking the last " hurrah " that the washed-up veterans of Millennium that they long for, the Professor's interest ultimately lies within the creation of vampires and the advances of " science " that he loves whole heartedly. At the thought of his failure and imperfection over the experiments, he wonders what is lacking and what is missing. [7] He believes that his research, and his " science miracle " that thrives upon numerous practices while advancing itself, would some day catch up, and even surpass Alucard himself. [8] In the end, he was confronted by his creation that belittled his product and ultimately killed him before he could escape and advance his research further. [9] [10]
Throughout the series, he keeps mostly a smirky demeanor and is consistently seen besides The Major. In fact, his first ever appearance was with The Major himself. He can however get annoyed, mostly by Schrödinger's actions.


Hellsing

Ronald is an older, tall man with gray hair and a bushy mustache. His hair is short, slicked to the back, and his mustache is stylized, with the bottom being curved down and ends sharply. He also has blue pupils.
In his first appearance, Ronald wore all-white attire, which includes a white cassock vest with grey trim under a beige cassock overcoat with purple trim, white trousers with a pair of black shoes, and white gloves. In his next appearance in volume 2 , Ronald switched to a black cassock shirt, black trousers, and shoes while maintaining the gloves. In volume 4 , he now supports a black cassock overcoat. In all of his appearance, he maintains a pair of circle-framed glasses with gold temples supporting no rims.

Though mostly playing a neutral role in Hellsing , Ronald is also a religious fanatic of Iscariot. He acts as a messenger, being the one who delivered the notice of Hellsing 's doing in Badrick to Alexander Anderson at the request of Maxwell. In doing so, he states that the Vatican does not back down from a challenge by heretics, essentially allowing Anderson to fight Alucard if he had to. Based off of Maxwell's flashback, Ronald seems to be the one who brings orphans to Anderson's. He's also gentle, informing Maxwell of his new home.


Hellsing

Taking the form of a young boy, although he appears to be around 14 which is also the minimum age of Hitler Youth membership. He had red pupils (pink in the OVA ). In addition to his light-yellow pixie cut, two black ears pokes out of his hair displaying feline characteristics.
Schrödinger dresses in a Hitler Youth uniform which consists of a greenish-yellow dress shirt and shorts (yellow shirt and black shorts in the OVA ), black knee high socks and a black tie. He also wears green gloves and green dress boots (white gloves and black shoes in the OVA ). In the OVA , Schrödinger can be seen to have a tail when The Professor tells him he can look at The Captain 's guidebook. Though previously in the same scene he is shown to not have one and this is therefore normally associated to be a reference to his feline characteristics.

Compared to the other Nazis, Schrödinger was rather comical and lighthearted, but still had a sinister air about him. [2] Even so, he provided a bit of levity among Millennium and was often a headache for The Professor due to his quips and jabs at The Major. The Major didn't seem to mind, however, even playfully going along with the jokes. [3] [4] Playful and childlike, Schrödinger also had a streak of cruelty, even towards his teammates. He, for instance, watches Rip Van Winkle and Zorin Blitz die and seems to be amused by it all. [5] [6] He is likely sadistic underneath or alongside his cheerful demeanor.


Hellsing

Seward is shown to be a young man with a big and long blonde hair, and wears a what seems like to be a grey, floppy brimmed fedora. He's also shown to be quite fit, and almost as tall, if not taller than Abraham Van Helsing . He wears a large, grey coat with cape with a white lining and large white cuffs.
His appearance however would change in his next cameo appearance in Volume 10 , where he's shown to be wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt with high collar and a tie under an oversized green overcoat with ruffles on exclusive on his shoulder, similar to what Sir Helsing wore during the confrontation with Count Dracula . He also wore a pair of white gloves and a matching green trousers and brown business shoes. He had blue eyes, is a tall man and had a short, combed to the back, blonde hair.
He used a double-barrel shotgun as his weapon during the final fight, though he briefly used the Winchester Repeating Rifle during the race against the sunset .

Seward is inquisitive, always seeking to understand, based on his discussions with asylum patient. He is also loyal and kind, which is emphasized by the care and attention he gives Lucy Westenra after she begins to exhibit symptoms of an unknown illness which they later recognize as the onset of vampirism. He is best friends with Quincey Morris and Arthur Holmwood . All three propose to Lucy Westenra on the same day. Although Lucy turns down Seward's marriage proposal, his love for her remains, and he dedicates himself to her care when she is suddenly taken ill.


Hellsing

While he seemingly looks 40 or 50 year old judging by his appearance, he was a pale man with a grey, short; bushy hair and had pink eyes. He was also quite skinny, but his clothing makes him look bigger than he actually looks.


Hellsing

She had long, unkept black hair, which became visible when she removed the cowl to fight. Yumiko always dressed in a standard Catholic nun's uniform, which consisted of a black habit, a nun's hooded cowl, a white scarf, white gloves, white stockings held with a garter belt, and black boots. In Crossfire , Yumiko was shown wearing glasses to prevent her more violent personality, Yumie, from coming out. On the back of her gloves, an inscription similar to that of Anderson's was seen. Yumie preferred to remove the nun's cowl, kept the scarf around her neck, and let her hair flow free. Yumie also had slightly narrower eyes and could usually be seen with a maniacal grin. She also carried her Katana , holding the sheath in one hand and the blade in the other when in use. She wielded the sword in either hand.

Yumie was impulsive and violent, showing no fear of anything and preferring to negotiate using the sharp end of her Katana. She seemed to genuinely enjoy killing those who opposed them and monsters. [4] [5] She was loyal to her fellow Iscariots but didn't hesitate to argue with or chide them for actions she disagreed with. [6] [7]

Yumiko (left) and Yumie (right)

In Crossfire, her personality is a bit more explored. Here, we see that Yumiko has a split personality: [8]

The gentle, violence-hating Yumiko, who's timid and quite innocent. [9] The ultra-violent Yumie, who'll gladly kill sinners without remorse. [10]

In more detail, Yumiko was a shy, quiet nun who got easily frightened, whereas Yumie provided raw, unfettered violence with her nigh-superhuman strength, fearlessness, and fearsome Katana skills that made her the ideal partner to Heinkel. [11] [12] Maxwell often berated the pair, not because of their excessive violence but rather because of their activities as assassins, mentioned as having been dressed in the raiment's of the Catholic Church, indicating a connection to the Vatican and by proxy to Iscariot, which was supposed to be a secret agency outside normal knowledge. [13]
Both Yumiko and Yumie were devout to their religion; however, Yumie was a fanatical Catholic and seemed to genuinely enjoy killing " heathens " and " unbelievers " with her superhuman sword skills. [14] Yumiko had commented how hard it was for her to " get Yumie to sleep " after she had been provoked into action. [15] Their personalities switched places, either by dueling for control inside of their minds [16] or a strong blow. [17] Heinkel used this technique to awaken the latent Yumie and had her brutally kill several terrorists. [18]


Hellsing

A man appearing in his 30's and on the chubby side, Tomily has a brown hair and a mustache, with a short hair swept to the right. Dressing in a formal attire, Tomily wore a suit over a shirt and a striped-patterned black tie with a matching trousers, and black business shoes.


Hellsing

An older, chubby man with a balding hair and grey facial features including a mustache, the Priest wore a normal priest clothing which includes an outfit dressed in all black; a cassock with a pair of trousers and a silver cross necklace finished up with a pair of black shoes.

In his short appearance, he appears as a scared man. Though it's justified as he was taken as a hostage by a group of extremists. Even so, he did a quite admirable act which was shown when he pleaded for Aphram , the leader of the extremists that took the group of priest and nuns hostage, to instead replace Yumiko Takagi , who was planned to be killed, in his place and told him to get his hands off of Yumiko.


Hellsing

She had pale skin, seemingly brownish eyes and extremely long grey/light greenish hair which almost extends down to her ankles, and which also covered her left eye. She had a curvaceous body with large breasts and long legs. She wore a revealing dress, the same color as her hair, with a slit at the top of the dress in the centre of the chest extending down to the bottom of the dress at the top of her left thigh. She also wore gloves that extended halfway up to just below her shoulders and high heels. She accessorised with blue lipstick, earrings and a jewelled choker.

While little is known about her personality, it seems safe to assume by her fashion style and her manner of speech, that she had a seductive and alluring personality.


Hellsing

Though of the same height as his brother, his build was noticeably lankier. His skin was fair, and his short wolf-cut hair was black. Jan was notable for having multiple silver piercings: some in each ear, his nose, his eyebrow, his cheek and two on his lower lip (one of them was later ripped off). The description of Jan in the author's notes at the end of volume 2 jokingly implies that he had a number of hidden piercings. He wore a black high-collared track jacket and pants with red trim, a pair of white shoes and gloves, and a black beanie with an eye of design (colored blue, white, and red pupil) on the front. [4] The OVA mainly picked up the color schemes from the anime in which he was dark-skinned and wore blue-colored clothing with white trim, and gold piercings. The eye design on his beanie was also colored gold and white.

Jan was shown to be vulgar, rude and one of the most foul-mouthed characters in the series, constantly spewing profanity at others and making volatile comments about them. He was also perhaps the most obnoxious, given the fact that he was often loud when he spoke and laughed quite often, even in the face of defeat or death. [5] Unlike his brother, who was usually composed and focused on maintaining their family's business, Jan appeared to not truly be pleased unless he was enjoying himself by causing chaos and destruction. [6] This and his appearance made him the complete opposite of his brother. It is implied that he and his family came from an extremely poor background, as Jan spoke about Sir Integra 's status as an upper wealth and noted the class division in England. [7]


Hellsing

Luke was a man of average build and height with a fair skin (pale in the OVA). He had a straight, long, blonde hair with bangs and loosely tied up with a pink ribbon (white in the OVA) at the end. His hair is much more curlier in the OVA, and he had green pupils. He wore silver pince-nez glasses and the same style of military jacket as his brother Jan, although Luke's was black with gold lining (grey with gold lining in the OVA) under a white double-breasted suit with matching trousers and a pair of white business shoes. In the OVA, a white overcoat draped over his shoulders is added.

Despite being Jan Valentine's brother, the two were polar opposites. While Jan was socially loud, obnoxious, unpleasant and murders with glee and sadism Luke was far less talkative, usually calm and kills casually. He fancied himself as someone classy, cool, and calm and tried to get Jan to be as " cool " and not talkative and loud to no avail. [2] Luke liked to fancy himself as the one who will bring about Alucard's demise, believing that because of his relatively advanced powers that he was destined to surpass Alucard in every way. [3] He believed that he has more than Alucard's powers at his own disposal, and believed Alucard to be just no more powerful than an Artificial Vampire like himself. [4]
Despite his relatively serious, calm, and cool outlook; when Alucard's power was much greater and terrifying than he had expected, Luke cowered and tried to run in fear. [5] In the face of pressure and hopelessness, Luke broke and was terrified. In the face of Alucard's disappointment, Luke tried to insult Alucard back as nothing more than a " Anglican Church's dog " to which Alucard claims that if that's the case, then he (Luke) is dog food . [6] Confused and dumbfounded when Baskerville died and he manifested, he freaked out before later being wired by the vampirized Walter C. Dornez in order to fight Alucard. [7]


Hellsing

Rip Van Winkle looks to be in her early twenties due to her artificial vampiric nature. She is tall and lanky, with glowing blue eyes and freckled cheeks. She has long black hair (tinted blue in the OVA) that reaches down to her knees. A few bangs tend to stick up from her head, including a particularly long lock of hair that ends in a curl.
Rip Van's usual outfit includes a black suit (purple with black highlights in the OVA), a white dress shirt (pink in the OVA), a red tie (dark green in the OVA), and black shoes. She also wears glasses, white gloves - presumably to protect her hands when firing her musket - and a large silver Swastika pendant. In a flashback, she was also seen wearing a Nazi military uniform with her hair tied into two long braids.

Rip Van is one of the more playful and cheerful members of Millennium's commanders, exhibiting a rather childish personality on most occasions. [4] While on-board the Eagle , she counts down the time to Millennium 's attack by using a pink alarm clock with a cartoon face on it. [5] Her freckled face, enthusiastic mannerisms, and use of a pigtailed hairstyle in 1944 further emphasize her air of youthfulness. [6] However, she can be quite vicious depending on her mood, ruthlessly killing the zombified crew of the Eagle along with their vampiric captain. [7] She is frequently seen grinning evilly when using her musket to shoot down incoming enemies as well. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
She enjoys singing and operas , with her favorite being Der Freischütz . [13] [14] According to The Major, she is very much like the character of Caspar, including her personality and her choice of weapon  - in fact, The Major once told to be wary because he felt that she would even meet her end in the same way as Caspar; slain and devoured as punishment for her sins by Zamiel . [15]
Perhaps as a direct consequence of this, Rip Van is utterly terrified of Alucard , who she equates with Zamiel, the " Black Huntsman " who eventually kills Caspar at the end of Der Freischütz . [16] Notably, Rip Van sensed Alucard's approach long before he actually arrives on the Eagle , and immediately begins panicking. [17] [18] She also exhibits extreme reluctance to fight Alucard, only briefly gathering herself when she remembers The Major asking her how she would act when faced with impending death. [19] [20]


Hellsing

Vernedead was a man of slightly above-average height and build, with ginger hair and green eyes. His hair was messy, thick and tied up in a long braid, which he sometimes curled around his neck. He had sharp features and supported a bandage on the bridge of his nose. His right eye appears to be damaged, so he covered it with bandages up to the events of Rio; where he replaced the bandages with a black eyepatch instead. [6] [7]
He wore a dark beige t-shirt under a brown military jacket with its sleeves rolled up to his shoulder. The jacket's collar supported many badges and a flag. Upon being employed in the Hellsing Organisation, Vernedead's jacket supported the Hellsing badge. He also wore baggy military pants with a belt, and a pair of black boots. Perhaps his most notable accessories were his slouched hat with the Wild Geese badge. He also wore an orangish-red folded scarf.

Initially, Vernedead was portrayed as a narrow-minded and somewhat shallow, pervert whose sole pursuit was that of gaining money, and therefore proved to be an experienced, excellent mercenary. [8] His carefree attitude is shown whenever the members of the Wild Geese feel like they are in a hopeless situation, where Vernedead soon lightens up the mood and motivates his men. [9] [10] He's charismatic in his speeches, and he treats his Wild Geese members as actual, close friends rather than nameless soldiers. [11] [12] However, whenever the time does seem bleak, Vernedead could be quite serious. [13] [14]
However his sarcastic nature greatly overshadowed his battle intellect, leading some to greatly underestimate him for the genius he was in strategy and tactics. [15] He's prideful, and despite being portrayed as a womanizer, Vernedead was loyal especially towards Seras, whom he told his crew that if they ever let a woman like her die, then they'd be a disgrace, something his crew agrees with. [16] His playful and carefree attitude, along with his great leadership, is what drove the Wild Geese to be incredibly loyal towards Vernedead. [17]
A man with respect and honor, Vernedead admitted that his concern with the battle was not out of money, but for revenge over the innocent civilians of London, despite it being a city that he hates, does not deserve to partake in a bloody " war " they had nothing to do with; stating that Millennium 's act of bombing and turning London into something synonymous with hell is an act he couldn't forgive. Though shallow and perverted on the surface, Vernedead was kind at heart; forcing himself to eat a cuisine he found to be so " greasy " because he didn't want to break an old lady's heart. [18]
Vernedead was also a compulsive smoker. He was shown with a cigarette hanging in his mouth even in death. [19] Seras also commented on this by saying " Would you please stop smoking cigarettes inside me? ." [20]


Hellsing

He has dark blue eyes and grayish blond hair. His face is somewhat angular but mostly blocky and square like. He has fair skin and strong, prominent features.
In the anime, he has brown hair and gray-blue eyes, with a square-jawed face and a slightly darker complexion than his daughter's.


Hellsing

She is a blonde woman with long hair and blue eyes, resembling Seras. However, her features are fuller.


Hellsing

Walsh was the second oldest member of the Round Table in 1999, just behind Sir Irons. He has a white, messy mullet slicked to the back and a very long goatee of the same color. In different colors, his eyebrows are brown. His pupils are colored bright gold. Under a military commander suit with many badges across, Walsh wore a white turtle neck shirt. His outfit is finished with military pants and boots, along with a red beret. In 2029, Walsh now wears glasses.

Walsh appears as a sarcastic, smug, and easygoing military commander who has experienced much in his long life. Even when declaring revenge over Millennium , Walsh retains his smirk in contrast to Irons' intense look. However, he is capable of being shocked and speechless as Irons deduces the traitor that's been right under their noses all along. [2] By 2029, Walsh still act as he did back in 1999, just now more calm. [3] Much like many other characters in Hellsing , Walsh seems to be a compulsive smoker. In 2029, he's shown to be smoking a pipe rather than a cigarette. [4] [5]


Hellsing

Heinkel has neck length, straw-colored hair, and grey-green eyes. She dresses in the priest uniform of the Iscariot Organization and wears glasses. Occasionally she is seen smoking a cigarette. Heinkel is usually seen with two pistols as her preferred weapon. After The Captain shoots her through the face, she wears medical bandages around her nose, cheeks, and chin and continues to wear them for the 30 following years. [5] The shot from The Captain damaged her vocal cords, as she is now speaking with a more masculine voice. Furthermore, she also becomes more impulsive.

Initially, Heinkel appears as a calm and fearless person. [6] [7] Though on the surface she keeps a serious demeanor, she isn't susceptible to making humorous comments in the face of her enemies, such as mocking them before their deaths. [8] In Crossfire , how both Yumie and Heinkel deal with urgent situations in a bloody and disastrous manner constantly gets them into trouble with Maxwell . [9] Nevertheless, they remain on good terms. [10] Her calm demeanor was lost ever since Yumie's death at the hands of Walter and her vocal cords being damaged by The Captain. She appears to be more compulsive and angered, lusting for revenge. [11]


Hellsing

Pip's grandfather is an old man with bright green eyes that almost seem to glow. His hair is white with age, fringed on both sides, and his skin is the slightest bit tan. His features are sharp, somewhat prominent, and he is wrinkled around the eyes and mouth, again with age.

Not much can be said from how much is shown, but Pip's grandfather was not ashamed of having been a mercenary nor being from a long line of them. If anything, he is amused at his grandson's being upset over it. From the way he described killing, it could be said he is unattached and cold, at least to the job. Despite this, he does comfort Pip by telling him the truth of their family, being mercenaries since his (Pip's) "grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa." His acceptance extends to knowing his son died being a mercenary though his speech implies he has some complex feelings with being a mercenary, acknowledging that the idea of fighting for fun is something too horrible to admit.


Hensuki: Are you willing to fall in love with a pervert, as long as she’s a cutie?

Airi has long beige hair that is usually tied up in twin-tails laced with two pink flower-like ribbons/pink flower-shaped barrets in her hair and orange eyes.

Because of a traumatic experience in Airi's past, which turned in fear, she is very cold towards men that she is said to be a Tsundere because of her difference in treatment between men and women.


Ayano is a cute and shy looking girl with bob-length purple/brown hair that covers her right eye with single braid on the left side where it has a black hairclip and orange eyes.
She is shown wearing her school uniform usually.

Ayano is a serious-minded student council vice president whose is reputed for her high grades and reliability, but she often acts reserved yet cute who is also very clumsy.
At first, she seems to have romantic feelings for Keiki Kiryuu . However, it is later revealed that she has a fetish for smells and Keiki's odor is her favorite.


Keiki is an average looking teenage boy with blue/purple hair and eyes. He has described himself as not the most good-looking guy when comparing himself to Shouma Akiyama whilst asking why he would be given a love letter in the first place.
He usually wears his school uniform but can also be seen wearing smart/casual clothing when on dates and casual clothing when at home.

Keiki is a kind-hearted, friendly and considerate guy who cares for his close friends and family, and is, in turn, cared for and liked just as much by them. His kindness is pointed out by Shouma Akiyama as his good trait as to why girls would have a reason to like or love him.
Keiki also wants a girlfriend and is annoyed by the many couples he sees and is quite envious of them.
He cares very much for his sister Mizuha Kiryuu and spoils her with affection to which he is described by Mao Nanjou as being a sis-con to which he retorts as just being the natural way a big brother should show affection for his little sister.
He also has a rare trait as a harem protagonist as he is not very dense. He has been able to figure out the feelings some girls hold for him in some respect but did not know their perverted sides. He also seems to have quite a bit of confidence/courage when interacting with the girls as shown when he confronts Sayuki Tokihara about her secret (which he thinks is her romantic feelings for him). He is quite assertive when it comes to finding out who is in love with him.
He may not be dense, but he has a hard time understanding the emotions of girls and doesn't seem to completely grasp the situation. He also believes that there should be 'love' behind his acceptance of the girl's true nature towards him.


Koharu is a small and petite looking girl who is often said to be beautiful and rabbit-like with somewhat wavy waist-length light bluish-white hair that is often in low pigtails by two black ribbons with bangs hanging over her eyebrows and cyan-blue eyes. Despite being the lolita character, she is actually in her third year.
She usually wears her school uniform with an orange bunny hoodie over the top.

Koharu is often described as rabbit-like girl who has a graceful personality.
She is revealed to be in love with Shouma Akiyama as she is shown to have taken photos of Shouma and she appears to be somewhat of a stalker who goes as far as blackmailing Keiki Kiryuu into helping her get close to his best friend or act as the "cupid" for them as Otori describes.


Mao is an attractive girl with chin-length reddish-brown hair and reddish-hazel eyes.
She usually wears her school uniform with baggy socks, and has a green/blue ribbon tied to her hair.

Mao is somewhat of an introvert, she's quiet, passive and is a bit of a loner. The only person she is seen talking to in class is Keiki Kiryuu whom she most likely has romantic feelings towards. However, she is shown to be quite open with Keiki and gives him advice as well as acts like a tsundere towards him at times.


Mizuha is an attractive and cute girl with neck-length light-brown hair and blue eyes.
She is normally seen wearing her school uniform, but she also wears normal clothes at home.

Mizuha is a kind and cheerful girl who acts somewhat airheaded and cute at times. She is good at giving different types of advice to Keiki Kiryuu and she cares for him dearly that she enjoys being pampered by him.
She appears to be a normal girl who gets along well with her brother, but she is later shown to be deeply in love with him and a pervert, as she is an exhibitionist who not only strips in her brother's room but also does not wear her panties to school on a regular basis.
After it was revealed that she is an exhibitionist, her approaches to Keiki’s affection become much more aggressive and more constantly than Sayuki Tokihara , Yuika Koga and Mao Nanjou .
It's been noted that Mizuha's actually very popular with the boys at school and has been confessed to multiple times, but she turned them all down.


Sayuki has long, flowing blackish-gray hair with bangs, adorned with a red headband that has a ribbon bow on the side. Her eyes are large and golden-yellow, giving her an expressive look. She is wearing a pink blazer with a white shirt underneath and a red bow tie at the collar, typical of a school uniform.
Her skirt is a blue and purple plaid pattern, pleated and short, adding to the classic schoolgirl aesthetic. She also has thigh-high dark stockings that complement her outfit, paired with brown loafers.

On the outside, Sayuki is a mature upperclassman who has a playful attitude and a kind spirit. She enjoys calligraphy and tends to make a huge mess whenever she is writing. She always seems to be at odds with Yuika Koga and teases/picks on her, the same goes both ways.
However deep down, Sayuki is actually a huge masochistic pervert who has a fetish for being dominated and wants Keiki Kiryuu to make her his pet. She proclaimed that she was envious of a dog and owner whom she interacted with as she wants to have that master-pet relationship with Keiki.
It is shown that Sayuki actually does not enjoy doing calligraphy, but enjoys the company of others in the club. This is why she is protective of it and was desperate in finding a new member after her upperclassmen left.
However, she almost dropped her intention of protecting the club when Yuika pointed out that Keiki—who was temporarily a member of the student council to prevent the club from disbanding—had every right to join the student council as a full-fledged member. This implies that Sayuki wants to protect the club where she can spend time with Keiki.


Shouma has blonde hair that has bangs hanging on the right side with a brown x-shaped hairclip on the left side and hazel-colored eyes.
He is usually seen wearing his school uniform.

Shouma is a cool and friendly man who has a very close and playful relationship with Keiki Kiryuu .


Yuika is a short, petite girl with blonde neck-length hair and green eyes. She has been described by Keiki as the cutest thing he has ever seen. She is usually seen wearing her uniform, a green ribbon on her head, and a pair of knee-length white socks.

On the outside she is a cute and outgoing girl who is playful with her friends, especially Keiki. She can sometimes be childish and jealous when Keiki is around other girls, she especially does not like it when it is Sayuki . She does not get along with her and is always picking on her, the same going both ways.
However on the inside Yuika is actually a huge sadist. She wants to dominate Keiki and wishes for him to become her slave and she his master, the polar opposite to Sayuki.
Even though she gets along well with the members of the calligraphy club, Yuika didn't have any friends before her meeting with Keiki. Her grandmother had passed away and Yuika was almost all the time alone in the library. People avoided talking to her, and so did she, because of her foreign looks and cold attitude, which resulted in her not being part of any groups. It is only thanks to Keiki, who talked with her, that she was able to make friends later.

Abiko is a short girl who sports short and messy dark purple hair with lighter highlights. Her eyes are dark purple and go to a more pink colour lower on. Her pupils are very light pink, almost white, and are in the shape of a line. Abiko's lips are small and not very colorful. In her meeting with Yoriko, she wore overalls and a dark long-sleeved dress. A coat and a skirt were what she dressed in when visiting the stage of her manga.

Abiko is seen as the definition of an introvert. She never talked much with her colleagues as an assistant. Yoriko saw how she felt inside through the art she made, seeing that she was suffering and wanting to be understood. Reaching out to Abiko, she concluded that she's actually affectionate, sweet, and becomes passionate when manga comes into the conversation.
However, after Tokyo Blade became serialized, Abiko only knew success, and thus, grew an ego. She saw herself as infallible and often conflicted with her editors, using her busy schedules as excuses for inappropriate behavior, much like any other successful mangaka. Abiko also had several assistants but would tell them harsh things that would cause them to quit, leaving her to work on her manga by herself and wear down her health.
When Tokyo Blade began its first rehearsal for its 2.5 stage play adaptation, Abiko visited and requested a complete overhaul of the script, offended by the flanderization of her characters and threatened to end the production if she was not allowed to rewrite the script herself. She further insulted its screenwriter Goa and demanded his removal from the production entirely. It is later revealed by Yoriko that Abiko's behavior is a coping mechanism for her to avoid communication and that Abiko actually wishes to form relationships with others but struggles to, which Abiko herself admits.
At Yoriko's advice, Abiko begins learning to collaborate more with others, starting by working alongside Goa to create a new script for the Tokyo Blade stage play that they both enjoy.

Ai was a beautiful and quite thin girl with gradient-colored eyes from purple to pink and a six-pointed star in each of her eyes. She was shown to have brownish-red hair on the first chapter cover, but it is shown to have more of a blue-purplish hair color on the volume cover.
Her idol outfit was adorned in a pink aesthetic of varying degrees of lighter and darker shades. The outfit's design has an overall ruffled appearance. A black belt is located on her waist, and other miscellaneous accessories are present throughout the design: three blue stars on her chest, a heart-shaped necklace on her neck and a bunny hairpin accentuated by two gold stars and a pink ribbon.

When Ai was very young, her mother Ayumi Hoshino was arrested on a theft charge, and even after her release, she did not care enough to raise Ai anymore, which made her grow up in an orphanage. The environment she suffered being with her abusive mother caused her to think of ways to protect herself. Ai lacked any memory of loving or ever being loved herself, - prominently shown when Ichigo Saitou scouted for idols to start a group. She believed she lacked the qualification to become due to these reasons, showcasing a lack of faith in herself. She became quickly convinced to join when Saitou told her that lying is fine and is, in fact, a desirable trait.
Thus, Ai's perspective started to shift. She convinced herself that lies are a form of love—a love harbored out of the selfish desires of both sides of the spectrum. Ai sought to find an object for her "love.". She wanted to learn how to love by telling her fans that her deceitful lies are, in fact, love. This desire also came when she bore children, but in a different context. She never once said that she loved them because being disingenuous towards them would be terrifying. Nonetheless, she was shown to enjoy her time with her children and was particularly delighted when the twins did an eye-catching performance with idol lightsticks, which stunned the entire venue.
No matter what, lies allowed her to process the world around her. Within these contexts, she never sought to make things right to the point where she was fine to face the consequences of her actions. Lies were her way of expressing love, hoping that one day they would become the truth. Only when a terrible event happened did Ai finally realize she loved her children, a genuine form of love free from impurity and dishonesty. She was relieved and satisfied to finally be able to experience these true feelings. Even before this realization, Ai had grown concerned over their wellbeing and stressed over the prospects of getting better paying jobs in order to provide for them.
According to several characters through the series, Ai had a unique charisma capable of drawing all the attention to herself when she was in the spotlight. Miyako Saitou and Taishi Gotanda commented that Ai was a very uncommon idol and probably they would never get to see anyone like her, stating that she was a rare case among countless idols who wish to be at the top. Ai was notoriously ambitious and a risk-taker to the point of recklessness, best evidenced by her intentions of both continuing her idol career and having children in secret, which was by all accounts extremely dangerous, as it would jeopardize not only her entire career but have harmful ramifications both to her company and coworkers.
When it comes to her private life outside the stage, Ai wasn't very social, and most of her relationships were with people related to the entertainment industry, showing that Ai used to be a loner. Aqua pointed out that Ai didn't have any close friendships, even among her fellow partners at B-Komachi . The seemingly bright and cheerful personality was nothing more than an act that hid her true personality.
It is noted by multiple characters that Ai had disorderly, impulsive, reckless, clumsy, and asocial behavior with a low level of education, a direct result of growing up in an abusive environment. It wouldn't be until she met her boyfriend that she would have a drastic change in attitude, acting more cheerfully, taking better care of her own appearance, acting more femininely, and reducing her self-destructive inclinations. Although said information was private, observers such as Masaya Kaburagi and Akane Kurokawa were able to correctly deduce that she had found a special someone; the latter in particular was able to observe certain character traits common amongst girls with teen pregnancies, and accurately determine that she had given birth in secret.

Airi had chest-length dark hair that was split on either side, dark-colored eyes and she wore dark-colored lipstick.

Since Airi never physically appears in the story, not much is known about her general demeanor. However, her having an affair with an 11-year-old boy indicates that she was a child molester . Also, the fact that she kept all this from her husband suggests that she was an unfaithful woman who had no qualms about cheating on him.

Akane is a teenage girl sporting a dark blue hair color with blue highlights. She is considered to be very beautiful by many people such as Ruby Hoshino [5] , Abiko Samejima , Yoriko Kichijouji [6] and Kana Arima [7] .
Before her controversy, she does not stand out according to LoveforReal ' s audience, giving the sense that neither her personality nor her looks were remarkable. However, after overcoming her controversy, she starts sporting a look akin to Ai Hoshino down to her facial expressions and eyes, including Ai's iconic star in her eyes. Over time she also grows her hair, which appears to symbolize her new style and not allow the past to drag her down. However she later admits that it was her attempt to imitate Ai for Aqua's sake and once the production for The 15 Year Lie was over, she cut her hair short again.
Her short hairstyle was reminiscent of the one she had as a child, one that resembles her past idol, Kana. It was extremely effective, as even Kana's staff and fans were duped by her strikingly similar looks.

Akane's true self is shy and quiet, which makes her a poor fit for a reality dating show, something LoveforReal ' s audience frequently notes. When people started criticizing her and sending her death threats, she became all the more reclusive and was even on the verge of committing suicide. After deciding to return to the show, Aqua Hoshino suggested that she play a character to protect herself from any backlash from potential future incidents. As a result, she took up Ai Hoshino 's personality after hearing that she was Aqua's ideal woman to thank him for saving her life and reputation.
She is very hard-working and determined with every job she gets. When looking to take on a role she makes sure to study and understand the character doing a complete background, to the point she plays it perfectly. She has been described by many as a genius actress despite being very young.
When interacting with Aqua, she displays a caring attitude towards him, which others easily pick up on. She is the only one who stays by his side after his collapse and, on multiple occasions, let herself loose in joy and sadness only in front of him. She is also prone to be convinced into doing something whenever someone invokes his name, an example being when Frill Shiranui maintained her participation in the interpersonal audition by informing her that Aqua would be co-starring in the film for which they were auditioning. On the other hand, whenever she interacts with Kana, they invariably have a fiery argument due to several reasons: their shared feelings for Aqua, Kana Arima 's jealousy of Akane's success as an actress at a time when she is yet to find any herself, Akane's disappointment that Kana (before the stage adaptation of Tokyo Blade ) had become someone happy to let others have the spotlight, and the simple fact that their personalities are polar opposites.
When they officially began dating, Akane became much more open in asking Aqua to spoil her after a busy day and appreciated him for all the small actions he made to show his feelings. For instance, Aqua would wait for her outside her workplace and reply to her texts as soon as possible while never failing to praise her for her hard work. They would also display public affection more quickly as she is willing to hold his arm when walking. All these small actions made her feel grateful and satisfied, so much so that they helped to rid her of all her worries.
In addition to her cuter aspects, Akane possesses a dangerous side as well, as shown upon discovering Aqua's secret that he joined the entertainment industry in order to get close to and kill someone. She even said she would help kill that person, justifying this by voicing her belief that Aqua must have had a strong motive, that it was not about right or wrong, and she would accept Aqua for who he was even if he was a "really bad boy". Her wish to shoulder his guilt with him and her commitment to their relationship caused Aqua to comment that she was "out of her mind".
This is reinforced after she deduces the identity of the Hoshino twins' father and tries to take matters into her own hands by investigating him on her own, even finding his office so that she can make an attempt on his life by concealing a knife in a bouquet of white roses in a similar fashion to Ai's murder. These actions stemmed from a desire to "save" Aqua by preventing contact between him and his father so that he would not have to concern himself with his revenge plot again, allowing him to spend more time with her. She also appeared to be more hurt by the fact that Aqua planted a tracking device without telling her, rather than the fact that he invaded her privacy by placing one on her at all, stating that she would have given him hundreds of them and even followed him to hell if only he had asked.
After her break up with Aqua, Akane does not hesitate to keep an eye on him in case he tried to kill Hikaru. She still cares for Aqua despite everything he put her through, and does not want him to go down a destructive path that would negatively affect him and his loved ones. It is further shown when she reflects on her wishes for him to happy.

As a child, Aqua was often called cute by those around him. As he grows older, Aqua becomes a relatively tall boy who is described as "handsome" with blonde hair, much like his younger twin sister Ruby Hoshino . He also long bangs hanging on the left side of his face and aquamarine blue eyes, which his late mother Ai Hoshino named him after, that features a star in his right eye, symbolizing that he and his sister are halves of their mother.
He often changes his appearance due to his job as an actor.
Due to being Ai's son, many people were able to point out their similarities despite being unaware of his pedigree. Much to Aqua's dismay, as before Chapter 105 , he wanted to keep the truth about his late mother from being known to the general public. He also bears a strong resemblance to his biological father Hikaru Kamiki .

Before the tragedy that struck his family, Aqua was considered relatively normal other than his unparalleled prodigious talent in acting even as a child and his quick wit and intelligence like reading complex books. With him retaining his past experiences, he accomplished many things not expected for someone his age. Performing acting jobs was something he was open to and excelled at.
After the tragedy that killed his mother, Ai Hoshino , he changed and became cold, calculated, cunning, and discreet, willing to do whatever means necessary to see his goal of finding his father through. His psychological trauma from Ai's murder tends to resurface anytime he seems to forget his goals. This is the case when Kana Arima suggested that he'd look back at his happy memories in Chapter 50 to improve his acting on the spot. It is a case of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and doubles as an active reminder to not stray from his original purpose of vengeance. He blames himself for being weak-willed during that moment, even though he was but a child. However, he used these negative emotions to exemplify his acting performance during his scenes in the Tokyo Blade Theatrical.
Aqua is described as someone with emotional distance ; he is shocked when he hears from Kana that he is '' gloomy'' , but despite this, he does genuinely care about the people close to him. Aqua is overly protective of Ruby, his younger twin sister. It is mainly described by Taishi Gotanda , his mentor, as someone with a sister complex, which is understandable since he was initially unwilling to let his sister become an idol and suffer the same fate as their mother. Thus, he surreptitiously destroyed almost every chance Ruby could get to be promoted due to this overprotective nature, despite knowing how she longed to follow in their mother's footsteps. Ultimately, he helped Ruby and the new B-Komachi group prepare for a gig so they could accomplish a task long thought impossible. He was also one of the main driving forces behind a project that served to save Akane Kurokawa 's reputation.

Spoilers Ahead! After being told that his father, the main reason for his quest for vengeance, was dead, he becomes warmer to those around him and begins smiling more. He ponders whether he could now be happy and live normally as he recalls his girlfriend's smiling face. Moreover, he becomes more supportive of Ruby's ambitions and encourages her to do her best. He was deeply ashamed of himself for continuously using Akane for his own selfish ambitions, but after she broke down, he wiped her tears and vowed to keep her safe as he gave her their second kiss that was removed from ulterior motives. After learning he was mistaken in assuming his father was dead, he has a mental breakdown at the realization [14] . As a result of this and discovering his father's true identity, he becomes even more cold and calculating than before. He even develops black stars in both of his eyes, similar to Ruby. He's even gone as far as believing that he won't survive once everything is over, saying his actions are necessary so Ruby can live once he's gone [15] .

Spoilers for Later Chapters! Throughout the series, Aqua shows signs of being a psychological manipulator. While he has shown to care for those around him, at the same time he also uses them to further his and Ruby's goals. This manipulation is best seen in his relationship with Kana Arima , taking advantage of her low self-esteem and emotional dependence on several occasions. He employed various tactics, including but not limited to love bombing, superficial charm, and flattery, to get her to join his sister's idol group . He continued doing so afterward to keep her close. Even when she distanced herself after he began a relationship with Akane Kurokawa , he continued with his act, making her believe that they might have a future together. However, despite his manipulations, Aqua has genuinely respected Kana's acting ability. Aqua also used Akane multiple times for his own gain, trapping her in a relationship by pretending to truly love her. While saving her from cyberbullying and attempted suicide during the filming of LoveforReal , his primary reason for starting a romance was due to her connections to the Lala Lai Theatrical Company . To this end, he showered her with gifts, attention, and affection while placing a listening device on her to ensure she would not leave him due to a possible fear of abandonment. Over time, however, his false feelings for her were slowly becoming real, subtly trying to get her to stay away out of concern, and he ultimately threatens her into staying out of his revenge plan, ending their relationship, ironically to protect her.

By the words of Ruby Hoshino , Frill is the first person most people think of when they hear "pretty girl" with waist-length dark-green hair that she wears loose with her bangs parted on the right side, yellow-green eyes with slit-like pupils resembling a cat and two beauty marks; one on the lower right side of her lips and one under her left eye.

Frill appears to be an aloof girl of few words and is attentive to the careers of others, quickly recognizing Minami Kotobuki and Aqua Hoshino and remembering their previous jobs when she first meets them.
Another facet of her personality is her sense of humor, which has been referred to as "actually pretty funny." When it comes to acting, her demeanor can dramatically shift based on whatever role is assigned to her. Such versatility in covering a wide range of emotions and personalities is what enabled her to build strong connections and make a name for herself. Despite this fact that made her in-demand, she still believes that actors should be chosen for the role because they are qualified, not because of connections.

Nino has green eyes and during her time as an idol, she had a slim body and tied her long brown hair with side bangs using a panda-shaped clip.
Years later, as The 15 Year Lie is being produced, she has cut her hair short. She has also aged considerably, with her face now having multiple wrinkles and her figure having become more average.

From Kana Arima 's portrayal of her, when she was younger, Nino used to be an airhead who often did not notice when she did something wrong and was regularly ordered around by others, particularly Takamine . However, as she began losing to Ai Hoshino in popularity, a darker and more jealous side of Nino would emerge, once even cursing at her co-star for upstaging her.
In the present, at first glance, Nino appears to still be the same airheaded individual whom Kana portrayed her as. However, underneath her outer demeanor lies a woman beset by regrets regarding her past relationship with Ai, to whom she can now never apologize due to her passing. As a result, this regret seems to have morphed into an obsession toward her former co-star, practically worshipping her and not tolerating anyone potentially upstaging her. Overall, Kana describes Nino's current mental state as "all over the place".
In fact, Nino's obsession with Ai has turned her into a mentally unstable woman with a psychopathic lack of morality; Collaborating with Hikaru Kamiki for years, which caused not only Ai's own death, but also by staging the heinous murders of popular entertainers, in malignant fanaticism towards Ai, to ensure that would never be surpassed. This deranged worship has reached to the extent that she contemplated murdering Ruby Hoshino if she ever upstaged Ai, despite Ruby being Ai's daughter. Nino's fanatical devotion manifests in different aspects: She was able to call out on Ruby's poor act when the latter tried to emulate Ai, with a rather maniacal disposition. Nino is seen to live in an unsanitary environment full of trash bags, scribbling over a poster of B-Komachi leaving only herself and Ai intact, while constantly watching Ai's performances. She neither has the ability nor the desire to go straight, and remains fully fixated on her goals of murdering anyone who comes close to or succeeds in surpassing Ai.

Goa is a young man with medium-length brown hair that reaches his neck and purple eyes, and a small mole underneath his right eye. In most of his appearances, he wore various fashionable clothes with scarf and earrings.

Goa is shown to be a calm and well-mannered person who is shown to be well-informed about the theater and screenwriting scene. Considering he's a famous screenwriter and what has been shown, he is great at screenwriting as well as adapting previous works into a theatrical form, understanding what can be realistically adapted and what cannot. Notably, Sumiaki states that every play with  a script written by him always leaves the audience smiling, demonstrating his immense skill in screenwriting.
Despite the many predicaments of being a screenwriter he mentions, he works hard as one, which implies that he genuinely enjoys his job. The fact that he is said to be successful in screenwriting furthers this. According to Sumiaki, Goa "loves theater from the bottom of his heart". In addition, he has also told Akane that he is a fan of the original Tokyo Blade manga (which would imply he read most if not all of it), suggesting that he actually took the time to read the original work before adapting it. This is something Goa likely applies to any work he adapts, which would further his skill and reputation as a screenwriter.

Gorou was a man with dark hair and square-rimmed glasses.
In all of his appearances, he always wore a doctor's white coat.

Gorou appeared to be a dedicated and compassionate obstetrician-gynecologist who cared deeply about his patients. He was also a fan of idols, but his interest seemed to be driven by a desire to fulfill the wishes of a patient, Sarina Tendouji , rather than any questionable motives. However, the mention of Goro carrying a "loli-con image" raises concerns about his interests. Despite this, Goro is portrayed as understanding and supportive of Ai's pregnancy, indicating that he is capable of empathy and showing ''professional diligence'', do not mix personal matters.
His willingness to confront a pursuer of Ai, even at the risk of his own life, demonstrates his courage and dedication to protecting those he cares about.
Overall, he is also portrayed as a caring and dedicated professional who is willing to go to great lengths to support his patients.

Hikaru is an attractive man who bears great resemblance to his son , to the point that Akane Kurokawa almost mistook him for the latter. Similar to Ai Hoshino and their children whenever they embrace the darker aspects of their personalities, he also has a black star in each eye.
Whilst in public, Hikaru hides his true appearance using a variety of disguises, seemingly taking particular care to hide his eyes. When he went to visit Ai's grave, he wore a long overcoat with a hat and sunglasses. Whilst passing Akane, he once again wore sunglasses but this time put on a black suit, as he was at a high-class gathering. During his interactions with Yura Katayose , he tied his hair in a ponytail and kept his eyes closed.

Hikaru is a sadistic and possibly insane murderer who enjoys watching the life fade from his victims, claiming that it makes him "feel the weight of his own life"; [7] a warped mindset that seems to have originated from having been sexually taken advantage of when he was just a child. However, as a former aspiring actor, he can skillfully hide his true nature in public by taking on the guise of a rather casual and dependable individual who others can lean on. He even managed to feign regret for his role in Ai's murder to his children before attempting to kill his daughter as well, laughing about the whole thing upon being confronted about it. In further showcase of Hikaru's irredeemably deranged and broken mind, his last thoughts were that he regrets not killing Ruby, because if he did, he would have felt Ai's presence much closer. In fact, his murders were all for the purpose of elevating Ai's existence while filling his own void.
However, there seems to be a side of Hikaru that truly seeks kinship with others, immediately taking an interest in his son upon realizing that he has the same "lying eyes" as himself. [8] He also appears to have a habit of sending white flowers to up-and-coming actresses, though this could just be a method to draw in new victims. [9]
When carrying out his murders, Hikaru is highly cautious to leave no incriminating evidence. He does this by making use of proxies; telling the husband of the actress who molested him about their affair, leaking Ai's address to a disgruntled fan , and convincing another fan of Ai that Ruby was upstaging her. According to Aqua and Nino, he is also a serial manipulator who uses his charisma to befriend others before taking advantage of their weakness to trick them into committing murder in his name, all whilst denying any blame under the pretense of not doing the deeds himself. Because of this Aqua describes him as "worse than a murderer", calling him an "instigator who refuses to get his hands dirty".
When being cornered by Aqua who shows his intent to kill Hikaru, he attempts to smooth talk his way into making Aqua desist from the deed as it would affect Ruby's reputation. However, when Aqua shows unflinching determination and the cunning arrangements he has made to ensure Ruby would be protected, Hikaru begins to panic and even questions Aqua's sanity, crying out to his son to stop, exposing his cowardice when confronted with danger. Upon falling off the cliffs and to the sea, Hikaru, with his last actions, tries to kill Aqua through choking. In the end, Hikaru gravely underestimates his son and this would became his downfall which leads to his death.
Despite of his insane, heinous actions, Hikaru is fully aware of the extent of his depravity, believing the weight of his sin to be the reason why he could not feel Ai's presence. As he fought for his life, Hikaru felt the presence of the many victims he had killed, resigning himself to his fate as they dragged him to the bottom of the abyss.
According to Aqua's portrayal of him in The 15 Year Lie , when he was a middle schooler, Hikaru was a considerably more withdrawn and somewhat submissive boy, seemingly traumatized by having been molested. He is depicted as an empty individual who, much like Ai, yearned for genuine love after being in a long-term transactional relationship. Hikaru was aware that he was being taken advantage of but believed that this was the only way someone like him could be loved. As a result, he became very skilled at lying, with no one ever catching on to his true nature until Ai came along.
As seen from Ai's perspective, Hikaru had been consumed by the darkness of the entertainment industry, causing him to become emotionally dependent on her. As a result, after she broke up with him, he suffered a psychotic break and leaked her address to her eventual murderer to scare her into realizing his despair, which went horribly wrong as her death was not his intended outcome. This, along with his shock upon learning that Ai truly loved him, portrays Hikaru as a tragic villain whose life was perpetually marred by abuse, neglect, solitude and a desperate need to feel loved.

In his early appearance, he wore his black suit with a white shirt carelessly, adorning a shade, has blonde, short hair and thin facial hair.
After Ai's death, Ichigo grew out his hair to neck-length and adorned a dark vest over his shirt. But after Ruby asked for his help in becoming a popular idol, he cut his hair back to its original length while for his meetings with business partners to get her jobs.

Ichigo had a competitive nature regarding the show business industry, proven by bringing Ai and the rest of B-Komachi to fame and even securing them a performance in the Tokyo Dome before Ai's untimely demise.
Devastated by the tragedy, Ichigo abandoned Ichigo Production, Inc and secluded himself in a solitary life. While he claimed to be uninterested in producing idols, some passion still remained inside him when advising Ruby.

Kana is described as a cute girl having an innocent face, shoulder-length pinkish-red hair that has blunt bangs and pinkish-red eyes.
Due to her occupation and high cute fashion sense, she often wears various outfits and hats.

Initially introduced as a cocky child actress with a sharp tongue, Kana was moved to tears after witnessing Aqua Hoshino 's performance. However, since then, she has matured and grown into a much kinder person, although her gruff manner of speaking still surfaces when she experiences intense emotions. She has consistently strived to become a better version of herself. Though things have cooled down for Kana toward stardom, being a great actress is still her main goal.
Kana is described as a diligent and hardworking girl who is empathetic, cheerful and confident with an impressive sense of responsibility. She can also be rude and sharp-tongued at times due to her past. She continued honing her acting even when she could not find work, as mentioned above. She also puts the quality of the product above everything else, even willing to lower her acting level and risk her reputation as an actor.
As a young child, Arima Kana was known as a child genius who had high acting skills even at such an early age. Many adults would praise her and think highly of her, therefore resulting in a egoistic and pompous personality, with a large superiority complex and a sharp tongue. She also hated being worse than other people, always overworking herself to be the best actor ever, as she was very competitive. Although she was a famous actor that was high in demand, her popularity soon dropped as her big ego made her hard to work with and her strong wants to always be the center of attention. This caused many people, including her parents, to abandon the thought of her being an amazing girl who was a child genius. Even if others did, they would only cling to her past acting and not acknowledge her new skills and acts anymore. She was not well liked anymore, and bound herself in thoughts of being inferior and worse than others - but to cope, she kept pushing out an egoistic personality from time to time. She even kept her sharp tongue and teaseful personality, always cheerful and outgoing.
However she has now become stuck with an inferiority complex, and would do anything to be liked and praised again. She has even stated that if someone loved her and admired her for her skills, she would work herself to her bones for that person, out of desperation for validation and attention. While she craves attention badly, she avoids it as she is now scared of being in the spotlight and avoids it. This connects to how instead of being an actor that was always the main focus, she has become an actor who “acts for others” and uses her acting to make others shine instead of herself. She is no longer egoistic, and instead far more selfless, even while being extremely selfish and wanting the attention for herself at the same time . However, during the stage play of Tokyo Blade , it is shown that Arima has accepted herself to be selfless and stay out of others’ ways, and instead sit back and make the others shine - until Aqua helps her regain her confidence to once again attract the viewers.
Despite the fact that she acts outgoing and talks in a teasing manner, she is actually very soft-hearted, kind and empathetic, and always cares for her friends and pushes them to be the best self they can be. She is also very emotional and sensitive as well, as she is caught crying in public from time to time. Due to her inner soft self, she is also very gullible and gets caught up in her own thoughts that drag her down from building up her self esteem again. But as she wants to still be seen as a child genius and amazing actress, she tries her best to keep pushing out fake confidence and tries not to get help from others so that she can appear to be mentally stronger than she is. Kana does not like to depend on other people or ask for help, as this makes her feel inferior to others. She has a strong mentality for herself and works hard to build up her ego and confidence again, and does not want to feel like she needed to always depend on people.

Being in her 50s, Marina's age shows through the multiple wrinkles she has on her face. She has wavy-brown hair and is of average stature.

Marina is a sociable woman who enjoys going out with her co-workers, admitting to having something of a drinking problem. She also deeply loves her family, especially her children, caring greatly about their health.
However, because of her cheerful nature, she struggles to handle grief. When her first-born daughter Sarina Tendouji was diagnosed with a terminal illness, Marina fell into depression. As a result, she opted to cope by ignoring reality, minimizing her contact with her daughter so she would not feel sad when she was gone. However, despite all her actions, Marina was still saddened upon learning of Sarina's death, wondering how her daughter must have viewed her for abandoning her. Over time, though, she was able to fill the void in her heart with two more children.
Marina's grief over Sarina's death also appears to have influenced her parenting style with her remaining two children, seemingly hiding her firstborn's mementos to prevent them from suffering as she did.

Kaburagi has a straight brown hair that almost covers his left eye. He also has slightly noticeable eyebags.

While it is not much noted in the series, Kaburagi is a mammonist. He is fine with anything as long it makes money and does not care much on the quality. This was clearly shown when he produced Sweet Today , which received poor reviews, mainly due to its acting and particularly because of Melt Narushima who was a poor actor at that time. However, he has a keen eye for talents, which proved to be successful on the next projects that he produced.
Taishi Gotanda comments that despite him only talking about money, he can never do his job as a producer if there's no passion in it. And without people like him film-making wouldn't be possible. He does his job well by caring and leading the crew. Also, he has maintained connections to actors and investors, which is very beneficial for him.

Meiya has a short hair, fashioned into a bob cut just above her shoulders.

Meiya appeared kind, greeting Mimi Yoshizumi and Minami Kotobuki after meeting them for the first time. However, underneath her outer demeanor, she is actually an attention seeker who often causes scandals by complaining online about her work conditions to gain sympathy from her fans.

Melt is an attractive and young model with medium length hair. The color page of him along with Kana revealed that his hair color is purple.

Being very successful for his good looks at a young age, he was vain, arrogant and disrespectful towards his colleagues during his first appearance. However, the experience of the I'll Go With Sweet Today live-action adaptation production and the feedback to his performance made him aware of his flaws and he became a significantly more diligent and polite person by the time the Tokyo Blade stage production started. Indeed, when Sakuya Kamoshida tried to get together with Ruby's friend, Minami , Melt lies that the director required both of them so Sakuya had to abandon conversing with her, even threatening him to not interact with Minami, demonstrating proper professionalism.
Kamoshida's lambasting of his skills, hit Melt deeply, further feeding his inferiority complex. Despite having trouble developing his skills, Melt was shown to put genuine effort into trying to improve his acting ability, in a stark contrast to his previous demeanour where he would barely put any effort and rely entirely on the popularity of his looks for success, suffering greatly for his weakness. Thanks to Aqua's advice, Melt would be able to weaponize his internal frustration and low expectatives of him building, to display compelling emotions, earning him well-earned praised from the audience and fellow co-actors.
Subsequently Melt developed a sense of pride which compelled him to try to improve as an actor without relying on his attractiveness. When his producer told him he was naive for his way of thinking, it made him realize his mistake, and subsequently convince him to employ every asset at his disposal in order to succeed.

Mem-Cho is described as being attractive, cute, and innocent. She has aqua-colored eyes, brown hair dyed blonde, a cat smile, and small devil horns. Despite being twenty-seven, she looks younger than she is.

Mem-Cho is generally playful, bubbly and somewhat mischievous, which makes her look adorable to any onlooker. In some regards these characteristics could be perceived as lies to protect herself and allow her to fake her age and portray the persona of a typical high schooler.
Mem-Cho is overall a person burdened by circumstances. Due her mother overworking herself in order to allow Mem-Cho to follow her dreams of being an idol, she decided by her own volition to put her own desires aside in order to support her family, working hard an extensively and successfully to bring enough income to put her younger siblings in college, showing her as a mature, responsible and selfless person who can gauge her priorities adequately. However, by the time their financial situation was stable, she was far too old to pursue her dreams, due to the discriminatory demands from most agencies.
Ultimately she turned her passion into streaming by portraying herself as a "High School Student" gaining a massive following. This eventuality, shows her as crafty in the making of her online character; she's technically not lying due to having put her high school studies on hold, but is also self-aware of her public perception. In fact, her platforms grew to such an extent that she felt overwhelmed and couldn't bring herself to be forthcoming about her age. Both Miyako and Aqua commend her for her courage of hiding as many as 7 years of her age, which is a major leap than most artists are willing to deduct.
Mem-Cho cares greatly for B-Komachi and its members, for it is a place that allows her to fulfill her dreams of being an idol, where she is accepted and supported despite her age. Even then, Mem-Cho is more of a fellow peer than an older figure, behaving more closely to how Ruby and Kana do, as high schoolers, than as the adult in the room. Even though her guise is well known by them, Mem-Cho remains about the same as what she portrays herself in the open; energetic, cheerful, earnest, a hardworker and a reliable friend and coworker. An empathic person by nature, Mem-Cho goes to great lengths to ensure the wellbeing of her peers, taking an active role in creating an advertising campaign to change Akane's public perception after the latter attempted suicide. She is also overwhelmed by the love triangle between Aqua, Akane and Kana, not knowing who to root for.

Mimi is a youthful girl with long black hair, long eyelashes, fair skin, and noticeable double fangs. She has prominent side-swept bangs, and her hair is braided on both sides. While at home, she wears hoodies that form cat ears, with one of the ears pierced with two rings.
In the past, before she started her VTuber career and cosplay streams, she was seen with shorter, neck-length hair.

Her brother Shun described her as a "shut-in", incapable of arranging collaborations with other VTubers on her own and have to rely on her brother for help.


Her Fans

Minami is a beautiful young girl with pink hair that flows almost below her shoulder, purplish-pink eyes and she has a curvaceous body befitting a model with a sizable chest, which Ruby Hoshino describes as "amazing".
As a student in the Youtou High School 's Performing Arts Program, she wore a white shirt adorned with a large ribbon tie. Though unlike other female students in that school, she does not wear the vest in her uniform.
Outside of school, Minami has been seen wearing different outfits:

When Ruby is visiting Aqua Hoshino 's rehearsals for Tokyo Blade, Minami wore a turtlenecked long sleeve shirt along with belt that fits tightly to her waist. Later on, when Ruby asked her for help to fill a cosplayer slot, Minami's hair is tied back into a side ponytail and she wore a cosplay consisting of elven ears with beautiful earrings, faun-like horns and an intricate dress.

Minami is a genuinely friendly and social girl who gets along well with Ruby Hoshino and Frill Shiranui except that Minami is quieter and wiser than Ruby, but not any less optimistic and cheerful.
She has been known as a girl that likes to "go with the flow". In her introduction to a fellow freshmen Ruby, Minami speaks in a Kansai regional dialect accent even though she's born in Kanagawa .

Miyako is a radiant-skinned woman with upper-back length strawberry-blonde hair that has bangs hanging on the left side and rouge-colored eyes ( Rouge is the French word for "red"). She is initially stated to be a young wife and thus can be assumed to be in her mid to late 30s by the time Aqua Hoshino and Ruby Hoshino start high school.
Miyako was seen wearing two different clothing:

Her initial appearance shows wearing extravagant clothing to represent her vain and Gold Digger mindset. After becoming more mature and kinder following Ai Hoshino 's death, she is always shown wearing casual clothing to reflect her new motherly and work-driven self.

Initially, Miyako appears to be a shallow woman who married her husband Ichigo Saitou in order to meet hot actors. She was hot-headed and resentful of being made the twins' caretaker, hastily deciding to sell Ai Hoshino 's scandal before the twins stepped in to stop her. She is also shown to be somewhat of a pushover, as the twins are capable of manipulating her into going along with their whims.
However, Miyako gradually showed a more responsible and compassionate side as she took care of the Hoshino twins and proved crucial to maintaining Ai's secret life. This culminates in her adopting them both after Ai's death, at which point she is shown to be a loving and dutiful mother who is specifically stated to be soft on Ruby Hoshino .
Professionally, she demonstrates great ability in managing Ichigo Production, Inc through a moment of struggle, pivoting away from the idol business and allowing the company to stay in business for over a decade, despite her lack of experience and connections.
She is also quite perceptive, being able to figure out that Mem-Cho is actually older than she claims to be, a fact no one else had discovered by that point, even Aqua Hoshino wasn't capable and was seen surprised by this.

Nobuyuki is a handsome young man with semi-long black hair that covers his ears with bangs swept on either side and brown eyes.
He can be seen wearing a cardigan over a white collared shirt during one of the episodes of LoveforReal .

Aqua Hoshino describes Nobuyuki as an "honest, yet interesting person" while he was assessing his fellow cast members in LoveforReal . [3]

Pieyon is a muscular tanned man wearing a cute bird mask, which was a character from an unnamed TV show presumably named Pieyon.
Later on, we see his unmasked figure, and it is revealed that he has black hair.

Pieyon first appeared in costume and maintaining his "Pieyon" voice for the entire shoot, suggesting that he is focused on his work.


Her Fans

Ruby is a beautiful young girl of average height with blonde hair that she ties in a side ponytail (much like how her late mother Ai Hoshino does) and possesses pink-ruby colored eyes with a six-star on her left eye like her late mother.
Ruby has been stated to resemble Ai by many people, such as Aqua Hoshino and Kana Arima where Kana herself confirmed that her keen nose in industry "can sense potential in this girl" and it reminds her of Ai. The resemblance grows stronger when she wears a purple wig, to the point that it shocks others especially Akane Kurokawa .

In her past life, Ruby was a frail girl who died of anaplastic astrocytoma and could barely walk a few steps without stumbling. Now overwhelmed with joy as Ruby Hoshino , the daughter of her favorite idol, Ai Hoshino , takes her life to the fullest, Ruby has given herself the goal of becoming an idol singer, not only to follow in her mother's footsteps, but also to fulfill her promise to Gorou Amamiya . Unbeknownst to her, Gorou had already passed away and been reborn as her older twin brother, Aqua Hoshino .
Unlike Aqua who is calm, calculated and discreet, Ruby is the polar opposite of him as she is extroverted, outgoing, loud, optimistic and communicative compared to her brooding brother. She is most apparent in the connections she makes with others. At the same time, Aqua only does this to further his agenda. She doesn't share her brother's opinion of hunting down the culprit who killed their mother, instead moving on from that incident and focusing on her dreams. She persists in this notion to the point where she often conflicts with her brother's interests.
Ruby tends to speak her mind without a filter, often referring to Kana Arima as the "gourd girl" and the "girl who will lick a lying snitch," much to Kana's displeasure. Additionally, Ruby has utilized the "airhead sister" persona to her advantage in the media as a character she created to promote herself.
She is the biggest defender of her mother Ai's secrecy and reputation.

Spoilers for Later Chapters! Following the discovery of Gorou's corpse and learning that his and Ai's murders correlate with each other during the trip to Takachiho, Ruby's drive for revenge becomes a lot more intense, and comparatively more aggressive, albeit stealthily so, than even Aqua's. The murderer stole the future she wanted, and so did Gorou's; she resolved to ensure Gorou gets justice, even if it meant using her brother, who finally attained true happiness with Akane Kurokawa . [10] Ruby reveals herself to be just as methodical and cunning as her brother. After her darker turn in the manga for the sake of her revenge, Ruby adopts a two-faced attitude towards others entirely whenever she sees that she could benefit from them in the long run: She acts friendly and affable with Meiya , but secretly disdains her despite being shown to get along well with her, knowing that Meiya likes beef and vents her frustrations on Twitter. She also made sure that she had Tetsu Urushibara under her thumb during the Dig Deep arc by manipulating him into believing that she had saved him and his job through a scandal that she had caused in secret for her own benefit.

Spoilers for Later Chapters! After Aqua reveals their mother's secret to the public, Ruby has a temporary break with her relationship with her twin brother because she hates him so much that he kept it from her. She is very honest to the extreme with herself and hates lies. [11]

Sarina had wide pale-blue eyes and shoulder-length hair. However, towards the end of her life, she gradually lost her hair and presumably became bald as her condition worsened due to her sickness: anaplastic astrocytoma .
In the majority of her appearances, Sarina wore a wool hat with a heart pattern on its brim, adorning it with a bunny pin, Ai Hoshino 's signature symbol.

On the surface, Sarina appeared energetic despite her illness, especially when talking about her oshi, Ai Hoshino , or teasing Gorou Amamiya . Sarina was very passionate about Ai, having watched all her recordings and memorized her choreography down to the smallest details.
However, because of her illness, Sarina was depressed by her inability to move as she pleased and became scared of falling, subconsciously bracing herself to fall whenever she attempted to walk by herself. This fear carried on to her next life as Ruby Hoshino , but she managed to overcome it thanks to Ai's guidance.
It is revealed later on that Sarina was in love with Gorou and, combined with her passion for Ai, was a major factor in her continued happiness despite being ill. Gorou's promise that he would become her fan if she became an idol also helped contribute to her dedication as an idol combined with her fulfilling her mother's request to see her as an idol. This love did not shatter when she became Ruby and found out Aqua was Gorou, remaining the same even though they were biological siblings.

Shun has mostly black hair and gaunt appearance due to being overworked as an Assistant Director. He also describes himself to have a "dark, brooding, and immoral" look. he also has small freckles.

Shun first appeared as an Assistant Director that Ruby Hoshino tried to get close to, following the advice of Ichigo Saitou . He notices her attempt to approach him and mistakenly think that she was doing it because he is her type. Shun then later get reprimanded by an old-school director Urushibara who was overworking him due to lack of staff and funding.
One day, Shun was told by the director about the segment of Dig Deep! One Chance interviewing cosplayers, and were ordered to find at least ten cosplayers that can fit the bill, especially those with "interesting" experiences, and those who has cosplayed Tokyo Blade characters before. He, however, was unable to find anyone that are willing to feature in the show and turned to Ruby for help.
As he was racing to fill the cosplayers slot before the deadline, he finally turned to his younger sister, Mimi Yoshizumi , and asked her to feature on the show as she used to stream her cosplay before she became a VTuber.

During his first appearance, Taiki looked similar to Gorou Amamiya , sporting a disheveled black hair, purple eyes, stubbles and square-rimmed glasses. [1]
Preceding the Tokyo Blade theater play, he shaved his stubble and tamed his hair.

Taiki is normally a fairly laid-back and unkept guy, seemingly not paying much attention to maintaining his appearance and only cleaning himself up right before a performance. He is similarly disinterested in his studies, admitting to having never even bothered learning how to read kanji. Overall, Frill describes him as an "idiot who tries to look cool".
However, when acting, his demeanor completely changes as he thrusts himself into the character he is playing as. His acting ability is also a source of pride for him, declaring that no performance in the Tokyo Blade stage play will outshine his own.


Her Fans

Taishi has medium-long brown hair that he occasionally styles into a bun and usually appears wearing a black hooded sweater. He also has some stubble on his face, which he appears to shave when doing professional meetings.

Due to his role as a movie director, Taishi is well-informed and aware about the acting world, knowing the fact that there are three types of actors and explaining clearly what their roles are in the acting world. He is also able to read a person well, as when talking to a young Aqua , he recognized that though Ai's acting was average, she was special in that she was able to attract any person's attention. The same is shown when Taishi wanted Aqua to act creepy during a movie production, as he guesses that he was naturally creepy even without prior acting skills, turning out to be correct soon after.
In Aqua's teen years, Taishi acts as a mentor and sort of father-figure for him, allowing him to learn editing skills for movies as an apprentice and giving him advice regarding his life and his relationships with people.


Her Fans

Kindaichi has a long black hair that parted into two, covering his ears, along with a prominent goatee.

Kindaichi is a shrewd person, figuring out that Lala Lai Theatrical Company needed motivation due to its stagnating situation, accepting outside performers for the Tokyo Blade stage play to provoke the actors and actresses within the company and force them to be better to compete.
As a director, he is also capable of bringing the best out of the actors, directing Akane to change her acting to accommodate the script that has changes from its source, and properly explaining to Akane about said changes. Toshirou calling out Aqua's lack of emotional acting in the pivotal scene of his character Touki is also one of examples of his shrewdness and capabilities as a director.

Tsukuyomi has been described by Taishi Gotanda as a "creepy-looking child" reminiscent of Aqua when he was younger. She has long white hair and brown eyes that are always wide open, causing her to give off a disturbing stare. In terms of attire, she dresses in a black and white child school uniform.

Spoilers Ahead! Before acquiring her current human body, Tsukuyomi took on the form of a seemingly ordinary crow.

Seemingly omniscient, Tsukuyomi is an enigmatic being whose motives and goals are shrouded in mystery. Befitting her appearance, she bears the overall demeanor of a creepy child, acting mischievous and almost always having a smile on her face. Taishi Gotanda even noted that she reminds him of Aqua when he was younger, comparing her to a "twisted adult trapped in the body of a child".
When interacting with people, she tends to tease them about their insecurities. While partly a tactic to quickly get their attention, Tsukuyomi seems to be genuinely interested in others' thought processes, implying that she cannot directly read minds. However, should they ignore her, she will quickly change the topic to get their attention back, such as by confronting them about their desires and offering vital information to help them achieve their goals whilst teasingly keeping critical details to herself. Still, she does not appear to be malicious, merely giving her information and inquiring others to think on it.
Tsukuyomi does have a more "human" side to her, taking pride in her supernatural status and getting angry when looked down upon. Ironically, this leaves her open to being manipulated herself through others exploiting her haughtiness. She has also shown to be stubborn, refusing to admit when she has been tricked. Deep down, she secretly cares for Ruby and Aqua, having observed them since being saved and cared for by them in their past lives when she took the form of a crow, and sees them as cheeky and cute children.

Yoriko sports a bob-cut hairstyle with a light blonde appearance and circle glasses. In Chapter 43, she is seen wearing a white and black striped shirt and a black jacket on her meeting with Abiko.

Yoriko appears to be carefree, outgoing, and lax. Part of this could be due to her manga's monthly serialization, not needing to worry about immediate deadlines and the like: juxtaposed by Abiko's polar-opposite personality and serialization schedule. Yoriko is considerate of others and their circumstances, though this could be seen as her not being good at being critical.
Due to her skills as a mangaka, she has the talent of telling what kind of person another mangaka is by reading their work, and is well versed in the ins and outs of the manga industry, be it the editing side and the hurdles mangaka have to go through to create their work.

Yuki has wavy waist-length black hair that has square bangs hanging over her eyebrows with chest-length hair strands hanging on either side and dark-brown eyes.
She is seen wearing two different outfits:

She wears a high school uniform. She was seen wearing a casual outfit at the end of LoveforReal .

While Yuki describes herself as a timid person with average conversational skills, Aqua Hoshino quickly notices that this is all an act. She wants to be in the limelight and is quite competitive, as seen in her conversations with Akane Kurokawa , wanting to gain all the attention for herself.
However, she isn't malicious, being reasonable and well-meaning in private. When injured by an agitated Akane, she understood her struggles and quickly forgave her. Often she engages in regular girl talk, discussing similar interests with other girls.
Despite being a model and quite popular among teenagers, Yuki herself admits that she has never truly fallen in love with anyone until she participated in the reality show We're About to Fall in Love for Real where she meet Nobuyuki Kumano , her first boyfriend. Even though Yuki rejected Nobuyuki in the last episode of the reality show, they were actually dating, presumably to avoid media attention towards their relationship.

Yura was a beautiful young woman with shoulder length light blue hair that has bangs hanging on the left side. She had cyan-colored eyes, which, similar to Ai Hoshino , had a bright, six-pointed star in each one. [3] Yura also wore glasses, but did not wear them when she went out mountain climbing.

In contrast to her cheerful public image, Yura was prone to cursing in private to vent stress from her job, something Hikaru Kamiki called her out on. To better process her occupational stress, she developed a habit of taking time off from her work to go mountain hiking in the countryside, claiming that she had gotten addicted to it.
Yura also took great pride in her acting skills, constantly looking to improve herself whilst disliking being hired solely for her popularity. She stated that her greatest dream was to star in a generation-defining "masterpiece" that will be remembered even a century after it is released. However, she does draw a line with certain roles, being unwilling to play high school student due to believing herself to be too old.
