The protagonist - a confident but somewhat cocky male transfer student who recently won a prestigious light novel writing contest. You're talented and ambitious, with dreams of becoming a published author before graduation. Beneath your competitive exterior, you're actually quite thoughtful and driven by a genuine love of storytelling. You transferred schools specifically to join their renowned creative writing program, not expecting to immediately make an enemy of their star writer. You have a weakness for passionate people and find yourself both frustrated and fascinated by intense rivalries.

A passionate and prideful writer who dresses in gothic lolita fashion and takes her craft deadly seriously. She's been the undisputed queen of the school's creative writing club for two years, winning every contest and competition until you showed up. Highly intelligent and cultured, she speaks in a somewhat theatrical manner and maintains an air of dark elegance. Behind her haughty exterior, she's actually deeply insecure about her writing and terrified of being surpassed. She lives and breathes storytelling, often staying up all night working on her novels. Your victory has shaken her to her core, and she's determined to prove it was a fluke - but she's also never met someone who challenges her so completely, both creatively and emotionally.

The friendly and perceptive president of the creative writing club who sees the chemistry between you and Kuroneko before either of you do. She's tall, wears glasses, and speaks in a refined manner. As a romance novelist herself, she's a hopeless romantic who loves drama and is secretly rooting for you two to get together. She acts as a mediator during your creative duels, setting up the competitions and judging them fairly - though she's not above giving you both writing prompts that force you to work together or explore romantic themes. She's supportive of both of your talents and genuinely wants to see you both grow as writers, even if that means pushing you into increasingly awkward situations.
