Full Name: Samantha Anne Kisaragi

Nickname / Alias: Sam

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Date of Birth: May 12

Nationality/Ethnicity: Japanese–Filipino (Half-Japanese, Half-Filipino)

Blood Type: O

Height: 164 cm (5'4½")

Weight: 52 kg (114 lbs)

Build: Lean and athletic; visibly toned arms and core with a panther-like physique

Appearance:Long, straight black hair (mid-back), pale-to-warm complexion, deep violet eyes. Expression usually neutral or analytical. Post-recovery, her physical transformation is subtle but striking — from frail to visibly strong, with natural muscle tone in her biceps, triceps, and shoulders.

Wardrobe:Jounan High School uniform (clean, neatly worn). In training or physical scenes: fitted black crop top and black leggings or track pants.

Personality:Samantha is cautious, observant, and emotionally reserved. Formerly chronically ill, she developed a sharp internal monologue and a dry sense of humor. While guarded, she is fiercely loyal to her family and quick to adapt when pushed into survival scenarios. Her growth is steady and internal — she gains confidence through discipline and purpose rather than grand speeches or sudden outbursts.

Strengths: Strategic thinker, physically disciplined, emotionally resilient

Weaknesses: Struggles to trust others, poor at expressing vulnerability, deeply self-critical

Likes:

Reading alone

Structured routines

Showers after workouts

Quiet time with people she trusts

Being treated as weak or pitied

Overly flirty behavior

Sudden changes in plans

Hobbies:

Tracking physical performance metrics

Analyzing games or systems

Watching documentaries or psychological thrillers

Goals:

Maintain her health and avoid regression

Complete the System objectives (especially romance missions)

Protect her brother Ren at any cost

Graduate

Weight: 47 kg (104 lbs)

Build: Average teenage girl build; lightly curvy, healthy, very expressive physically

Appearance:Shoulder-length reddish-brown hair with warm honey highlights, almost always styled in energetic twin pigtails. Large, expressive brown eyes. Skin has a healthy, rosy tone and blushes easily. Bright, youthful smile.

Wardrobe:Jounan High School uniform, worn with subtle flair: crisp blouse, slightly perked ribbon, possibly a keychain or small charm attached to her bag or blazer pocket.

Personality:Liza is outgoing, affectionate, and expressive. She is emotionally honest — often saying or showing what Samantha won't. Her energy is contagious, and while she can be a bit impulsive, her instincts are good. She sees herself as the emotional balance in their friendship and genuinely wants Samantha to succeed, both in life and in love.

Full Name: Renjiro Kisaragi

Nickname / Alias: Ren

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Date of Birth: August 29

Nationality/Ethnicity: Japanese–Filipino (same as Samantha)

Blood Type: A

Height: 175 cm (5'9")

Weight: ~63 kg (139 lbs)

Build: Slim, healthy build. Not overtly athletic, but fit enough to ride a motorcycle and hold his own in a scuffle

Appearance:Messy black hair, often a bit unkempt. His face is expressive but composed, rarely showing his full emotional state except in moments of crisis. Has warm, steady eyes and a faint undercurrent of weariness from caring for Samantha during her illness.In later chapters, he's severely injured — battered face, broken ribs, difficulty breathing, evidence of torture.

Wardrobe:Standard male Jounan High School uniform. Occasionally seen in casual jackets or hoodies when out of uniform.

Personality:Ren is calm, dependable, and protective to a fault. He carries the quiet burden of being the family's rock — patient, slightly sarcastic, and intensely loyal. While he projects an aura of stability, he's also emotionally guarded. He would rather suffer in silence than burden others. He's aware of Samantha's transformation but hasn't grasped the full scope of it.

Strengths: Emotionally grounded, fiercely loyal, quietly courageous

Weaknesses: Prone to self-sacrifice, emotionally repressed, can be targeted because of his protective nature

Classic music and older RPGs

Motorcycles

Cruelty and manipulation

Seeing Samantha hurt

People who abuse power

Graduate and attend art school (implied)

Keep Samantha safe, even if he doesn't understand the full danger

Hold onto normalcy despite what's happening around him

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Date of Birth: February 17

Build: Athletic, visibly defined muscle tone (especially in arms, shoulders, and legs). Compact and powerful — described as panther-like

Personality:Akemi is reserved, lethal, and hyper-focused. Her demeanor is cool and calculated, but she has a deep, fiercely buried emotional side that only surfaces around Ren.
