Nathaniel
Nathaniel

Hardworking and modest, Nathaniel is Sweet Amoris's student council president.
- All of the Other Reindeer: Downplayed in "University Life", but most of the remaining high school crew decided to shun him after it appeared that he was becoming unruly and needlessly reckless.
- Amazon Chaser: In "University Life", the fastest way to raise Nathanial's affection is to not fall for his charm, but to talk back to him and show that you can take care of yourself. Though he finds it hard to admit at first, he actually likes how aggressive Candy is at trying to find out what's wrong with him. He sees it as a sign that she truly cares, even though he has his reasons for not telling her the truth.
- Badass Bookworm:
- In "University Life", he managed to major in literature and helped take down a drug ring.
- In "Love Life", he becomes a police inspector after university, presumably inspired by his love of detective fiction.
- Beneath the Mask: In "High School Life", how Nathaniel presented himself and who he actually was were very different; outwardly, he's hardworking, studious, and kind. While he is kind, he mainly works so hard because he's trying to please his abusive father and he does possess a sense of humor.
- Berserk Button: He loathes Castiel and hates it when people don't listen to him when he tells them to mind their own business.
- Beware the Nice Ones: In "High School Life", he's welcoming of Candy and helpful to the others (unless their name is Castiel). But he's also the type of person who would throw a rock at the back of your head and, when you turn around, smile innocently and say it was the wind.
- Big Brother Instinct: While he's the younger twin between him and Amber, there's not many times in the beginning of "High School Life" where Nathaniel isn't on Amber's side. He also purposefully hid from her the fact that their father beat him. In later episodes, he recognizes how bad things actually were between them. He starts calling Amber out on her bad actions and calls her a pest when she's being bratty... but at the same time he still makes an effort to hang out with her after he moves out of the house.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: In "University Life", he's still a very bright man but he no longer cares at all about attending classes.
- Can't Take Criticism: He gets pretty upset if you have Candy criticize him, especially in relation to his skills as student council president. According to the art book, it's because he's such a perfectionist.
- The Casanova: Underneath his polite and uptight persona, he's a huge tease. It's implied in "High School Life" that he's had previous relatipnships and his vice-president, Melody, has a huge crush on him. In "University Life", he developed a reputation for seducing women and leaving them heartbroken. When he reunites with Candy, he shamelessly flirts with her regardless of whether or not they dated previously. By "Love Life", this trait is lessened significantly or even nonexistent, especially if you're on his route.
- Clothing Reflects Personality:
- In "High School Life", his wardrobe changes reflect his character development; when he's first introduced as the strict student council president, he's wearing a collared business-type shirt with a chest pocket and tie. By the time he's living on his own and is more free to act as himself, he's wearing a simple long-sleeved shirt with a V collar and no tie. (The shirt initially included a wing design on his shoulders, but this was removed after fan criticisms.)
- In "University Life", his wardrobe includes ear piercings/other jewelry, a small scar on his mouth, and the color scheme tends to be darker. This reflects how he's gotten reckless and impudent since Candy last saw him.
- Comical Overreacting:
- In "University Life", when apologizing to Candy for being late for their date to the concert, he gets on his knees in front of a crowd and gives a Shakespearean apology.
- In a later episode, he shouts his love for Candy on his apartment balcony for everyone in listening distance to hear.
- Covert Pervert: In "High School Life", he's quite happy to see Candy in a bathing suit. She notes his suspicious attitude when her bathing suit top falls off and he has to tie it back on.
- Curtains Match the Windows: Both Nathaniel's hair and eye colors are gold/yellow.
- Cute Bookworm: He enjoys studying, is really good at keeping his grades consistent, loves reading detective fiction, and is pretty attractive to boot. Despite how differently he presents himself in UL, he still retains his enthusiasm for crime novels.
- Dark and Troubled Past: In "University Life", it's clear Nathaniel's still haunted by the physical and emotional abuse his parents put him through during his high school years.
- Defrosting Ice King: His route in "High School Life" is focused around Candy getting him to loosen up a little, with his arc being about Candy doing the right thing by getting him out from under the thumb of his abusive home life. Once he's on his own, he admits to Candy that his "new" personality (such as being outgoing and easily joking around) isn't all that new; he was just hiding those aspects of himself before.
- The Gadfly: He's always enjoyed poking fun at people, especially Castiel since its easy to get a reaction out of his rival. This trait is more obvious in UL and LL.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold:
- In "High School Life", Nathaniel is presented as the most conventional romance option: he's a straitlaced and honest boy who likes to help others. While he certainly has his flaws, at his core, he's more apt to put the wellness of others over his own.
- In "University Life", he's got a rude mouth/anger issues and isolates himself from most of the high school crew, but he's still not a bad guy; he genuinely cares about protecting the innocent and is capable of apologizing when he sees he's gone too far with his words/actions. He even got himself involved with a drug ring and tried to deal fakes, as he couldn't in good conscious deal real drugs.
- He Cleans Up Nicely: In "High School Life", he dons formal wear for a scheme and for prom, and he's all the more handsome for it.
- Kind Hearted Cat Lover: He loves cats, and is generally a kind and nice boy.
- Stepford Smiler: His academically disposed behavior is due in part to his desire to please his father. Said father has incredibly high expectations of Nathaniel and has beaten Nath on more than one occasion. Nathaniel prefers to pretend that nothing's wrong and that he can handle it.
- Student Council President: In "High School Life", Nathaniel is Sweet Amoris's student council president, and he has the personality to fit: he's hardworking, diligent, and strict when it comes to obeying school rules.
- They're Called "Personal Issues" for a Reason: When Candy inadvertently spots bruise marks Nathaniel's back, he insists that he "fell" at home. If you make Candy continue pestering him for more information, he gets belligerent. And after she founds out the true cause of the marks, he still wants her to stay out of his personal business.
- Troubled, but Cute: He's a supportive boy whose hardworking behavior hides the fact that his home life is terrible.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Inverted. In "Pyjama Party", it's revealed that he used to be a hellish little brat, but is now the polite and respectful student council president.
Castiel
Castiel
To see his UL sprite, clickhere
To see his LL sprite, clickhere
Sarcastic and disaffected, Castiel is Sweet Amoris's regular bad boy. His best friend is Lysander.
- Aloof Ally: Although he steps up to help when needed, Castiel doesn't like hanging out in crowds nor does he like to hang around the others for very long (with very few exceptions).
- Berserk Button: He loathes Nathaniel thanks to his ex-girlfriend, Deborah, making it seem like Nathaniel was hitting on her.
- Celebrity Is Overrated: He's not very fond of the large crowds that gather around him nor of the people that watch him and invade his privacy. He's also uncomfortable talking about his fame with Candy.
- Character Development: In "High School Life", there's a clear progression of his character from an overly-abrasive bad boy to a more relaxed bad boy without losing his more caustic edge. Just looking at how he treats Candy verses Priya makes it more clear; at the beginning of the season, he takes a long time to open up to Candy and allow her to be his friend. By the time Priya shows up twenty-five episodes later, he has no trouble getting along and joking around with her. This is true even if his affinity is very high, for he'll still be considerably nicer to Candy than he had been in the past.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: If you're on his route, Castiel won't take to the other boys well. When his temper really flares, he will threaten them with bodily harm.
- Deadpan Snarker: Castiel likes to poke fun at his fellow students as well as Candy, often delivering his snark without ever changing his repressions.
- Defrosting Ice King: His route in both "High School Life" and "University Life" is about Candy getting past his cool and aloof exterior, and allowing him to be emotionally vulnerable with her.
- Fiery Redhead: Castiel's keeps his hair dyed red, and he has the temper and caustic personality to go with it.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: It isn't hard to say the wrong thing and get him in a bad mood, especially in "High School Life".
- Handsome Lech: He will insult your bust size often by calling you flat chested. Doesn't stop him from ogling you in a bathing suit.
- Mood-Swinger: In "High School Life", he can go from easy-going to angry and back in a flash. This trait isn't present in UL or LL, thanks to him maturing and gaining more life experiences, leading to a higher emotional intelligence.
- Nice Guy: Beneath his indifferent and aloof exterior, Castiel has a genuinely kind heart. This is shown most clearly in "University Life" when, after finishing his concert, he immediately recognizes Candy then goes to greet her just to say "hi".
- Parental Abandonment: While his parents do love him, their jobs make it difficult for them to be around; his mother is a flight attendant and his father is a pilot. He's legally independent so he'd be able to take care of any paperwork without having to wait for any parental approval.
- Smarter Than You Look: His delinquent persona and lack of interest in school during "High School Life" makes it easy to believe that he's not academically inclined. In actuality, he scored excellently on his exams and even managed to graduate Anteros Academy as a valedictorian.
- The Snark Knight: Most of his dialogue includes snarky remarks or comebacks, and he isn't particular about who he aims his snark at.
- Starving Student: One of the official art books states that his he mainly eats microwaved dishes and junk food. He takes better care of his dog's feeding necessities than his own.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Out of the "High School Life" love interests, he's one of the tallest, has naturally black hair and gray eyes, and is quite handsome. In terms of personality, he's generally standoffish and snarky.
- Troubled, but Cute: He's a handsome boy/man whose gruff exterior is partially due to his ex-girlfriend proving herself to be manipulative and opportunistic.
- When He Smiles: His default expression is somewhat surly, but on the (very rare) occasions you can get him to smile in "High School Life", it makes him all the more handsome. This is especially true in UL's "Formal Introductions", in which he's shown to be joyously laughing in his illustration.
Non-Universal Dates
"High School Life" and "Alternate Life"
Kentin
Kentin "Ken"
To see his post-boot camp sprite, clickhere
To see his AL sprite, clickhere
Initially introduced as "Ken", Kentin is an earnest boy who tends to let his emotions get the better of him. He got to know Candy during their time at their previous school.
- Abhorrent Admirer: Kentin moved schools just to be near Candy and she appears baffled at best by this fact. Even if you choose to be kind to him, it's clear that his attention puts Candy off, as shown by her pouting expression in Kentin's first date illustration.
- Badass Bookworm: His initial appearances in "High School Life" imply he's good at studying and is actually very smart. Military school taught him how to fight, leading him to develop honed reflexes.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: While he does find Candy beautiful, the real reason he fell so hard for her is because she showed him compassion when they were at their old school when no one else did.
- Berserk Button: Hurting Candy in any way is a one way ticket to making him furious. He was ready to go kill Castiel and Deborah after the later manipulated everyone into distancing themselves from Candy. The only thing that stopped Kentin was Candy pointing out the very true fact that he and anyone else who participated would go to jail.
- Childhood Friend Romance: He knew Candy from their previous school and has been infatuated with her since. Depending on your choices, the relationship between them can evolve into romance or they can stay friends.
- Dogged Nice Guy: In the beginning of "High School Life", Kentin will insert himself into certain situations so as to help Candy, in the hopes that doing so will eventually get her to fall for him.
- Fluffy Tamer: In "Alternate Life", Kentin is a dog trainer. He recognizes that they are the quickest way to end a hostile interaction as one growl from those big boys sends attackers running.
- He Is All Grown Up: In "High School Life", the physical demands of military school worked so well that neither Candy nor their old classmate Lucy recognized him. Candy herself finds him a lot more attractive.
- He Cleans Up Nicely: He looks more handsome in a suit than in his standard military-esque style.
- Hidden Heart of Gold: When he picks up the Jerkass Ball in his arc, his Nice Guy self is practically hidden away. Evan (who himself hides a Hidden Heart of Gold) encouraged him to act like a jerk to deal with severe bullying during military school. Kentin might not be fully aware he's doing it, though.
- Hot-Blooded: His time at military school brought out a rashness in Kentin, and his temper is more easily roused.
- I Hate Past Me: He hates who he was before he was sent to military school, seeing that version of himself as pitiful.
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: After he comes back from military school, he has a tendency to show off how manly he thinks himself, but it's clear after you become reacquainted that this is his way of covering up lingering self doubt and self esteem issues.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: If you choose to go out with one of the other guys, Kentin will confess he's still in love with your Candy, but he wants her to be happy and values their friendship as it is, though he's clearly still upset.
- Jerkass Ball: As a result of Evan's Toxic Friend Influence, he starts getting into a lot of trouble, but also in general is pretty disrespectful (even to Candy, one of his oldest friends, and Iris, who has never done anything worth being rude about to him or probably anyone else.)
- Meaningful Rename: He's introduced as Ken, something that he reveals in his return episode as a nickname. His actual name is Kentin and prefers to be called as such from then on, not wanting to be reminded of how he acted as "Ken".
- Miles Gloriosus: After coming back from boot camp, Kentin will often talk a big game, but he's still afraid of full on conflict.
- Nice Guy: His affection for Candy is 100% genuine, and he becomes friends with Armin and Alexy who tease him constantly. Despite a rocky start, he also develops a friendship with Nathaniel. If you chose to be mean to him before he left, he'll even forgive your Candy when he returns.
- Opaque Nerd Glasses: His "Ken" sprites sport large circular glasses that don't show his eyes, emphasizing his nerdy appearance. Post-boot camp, he wears contacts and doesn't like being reminded of his former eye-wear.
- Stalker with a Crush: The first couple episodes of "High School Life" cement him as a lovesick boy who transferred school just so he could be with the object of his affection (a.k.a. Candy). After going to boot camp, this trait is lessened greatly.
- Sweet Tooth: He has a soft spot for cookies and sweets; three of his date illustrations show him snacking on his favorite cookies with Candy.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: He's incredibly conscious of how his father sees him and even the smallest comment from the man will make him fear he's fallen out of favor.
Lysander
Lysander
To see his AL sprite, clickhere
Initially aloof, Lysander is a kind and gentle boy who loves lyric writing and poem crafting. Absentminded at times, he nevertheless can come to care about your Candy, and even fall in love with her. He's also best friends with Castiel.
- Awesome Anachronistic Apparel: Lysander's main outfit is a Victorian inspired ensemble, which highlights his gentlemanly personality.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Downplayed, but he is pretty absentminded.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: Downplayed; if Lysander's affinity gets high enough, he'll start to show signs of jealousy in sutble ways- such as negative comments towards whoever boy he thinks is too close to Candy- instead of the more obvious "glare and threaten violence" that some of the other romance options show.
- Farmboy: Both Lysander and his brother, Leigh, lived in the country on their parents' farm. The reason he isn't present in "University Life" is because he had to return to the farm so he could keep it running after the death of their parents.
- Genius Ditz: He's very well spoken and great at coming up with lyrics and poems, but he has a tendency to be forgetful; it's common for your Candy to have to find his notebook in order to complete an objective.
- Hates Small Talk: He won't generally participate in any conversation that doesn't interest him or if he perseves it to have no point.
- Nice Guy: Regardless if you're on his route or not, Lysander is almost unfailingly polite and helpful, even worrying about Candy and her health after they become friends.
- No Sense of Direction: It isn't unheard of for Lysander to get lost, mainly thanks to his absentmindedness. The only way to make sure he gets to where you want him to go is by physically leading him to that destination.
- Spell My Name With An S: The last two letters in his name change between language versions. In the original French, his name is spelled "Lysandre" while the US English site spells it "Lysander". Don't be surprised to see players use both spellings.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: While he always remains a gentleman, he can be aloof sometimes, espeically when talking to someone he isn't familiar with. Once you get to know him better, he'll open up more to your Candy, even complementing and defending her depending up the situation.
- Third-Option Love Interest: After Kentin's depature and before Armin's introduction, Lysander serves as an alternative option to players who aren't interested in either Castiel or Nathaniel.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: In a rare male variant; Lysander is more often cool, calm, and collected, possessing plenty of patience to put with Rosalya and Castiel at their worst. And, while he is always polite, he isn't afraid to speak up when he felt like he or someone he cares about has been done wrong.
Armin
Armin
To see his AL sprite, clickhere
One of a pair of twins, Armin is an affable and laid-back geek who loves video games and pop culture. He transfered into Sweet Amoris not much later than Candy did, and isn't long before he's caught up in the same antics as his classmates.
- Berserk Button: Restricting his access to video games is a one way ticket to earning his ire.
- Beware the Nice Ones: His laid-back and playful demeanor hides a ruthless side, as is evident when his solution for fixing the Deborah problem is to commit murder. He wasn't entirely joking, either.
- Chivalrous Pervert: Armin makes his interest in the female form fairly obvious and will unashamedly make suggestive comments when the time is right. He will also go out of his way to help his friends should they find themselves in trouble.
- The Gadfly: He has a mischievous streak and will tease/mess with anyone for the sake of a good laugh.
- Geek: He's obsessed with video games and the internet, and often makes pop culture references during interactions with your Candy and/or other characters.
- Geeky Turn-On: Choosing answers that include pop culture references will increase his affinity towards your Candy.
- Informed Attribute: His character description page describes him as shy, but this isn't really shown. From the get go, he seems fairly outgoing despite having moved to a completely new area.
- Playful Hacker: Aside from video games, another of Armin's interests is hacking into computers just for the fun of it.
- Satellite Love Interest: Of the available dates in "High School Life", his personality was initially the least developed; he was a homebody who loved video games and liked (or loved) your Candy. This trait would ultimately become subverted in later episodes, which better show off his relationships with his classmates, refine his sense of humor, and even expand upon his initial backstory and interests.
"University Life" and "Love Life"
Priya

To see her LL sprite, clickhere
Introduced in "High School Life" as a transfer student, Priya is an outgoing, free spirited woman who entered Anteros Academy to become a lawyer. After being out of touch for a few years, Candy reunites with Priya. It's possible for your Candy to form a platonic or romantic relationship with Priya.
- The Ace: She's smart and liked by pretty much everyone, she began writing while still in high school, and, by "Love Life", she's on her way to becoming an accomplished lawyer. Her main flaw is that she's not good at art and, while she has a sense of humor, she often takes certain situations too far.
- Beware the Nice Ones: She's a really kind girl and easy to talk to, but if you mess with her, you'd better watch your back. Amber learned that the hard way when she tried to cut Priya's hair, but it backfired with Priya swiftly grabbing the scissors and cutting Amber's hair.
- Bollywood Nerd: Downplayed. She's very smart and a talented student, but she's also an accomplished writer, very likeable and popular, and gorgeous.
- Bully Hunter: She admits to Candy that she can't stand people like Amber and her crew, and does her part in trying to stop Amber from ever messing with Candy again.
- Gay Option: She's a possible romance option for your Candy in both UL and LL.
- Hello, Attorney!: She's a law student in "University Life" and is a junior attorney in "Love Life".
- Hidden Depths: Despite her charismatic and charming demeanor, she was apparently bullied before she moved to Sweet Amoris.
- Informed Attractiveness: She's described as strikingly pretty, but she's drawn in the same style as everyone else.
- Nice Girl: She's friendly, outgoing, and genuinely supportive.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When she gets upset in "First Days of Class" while talking about why her family had to flee India (because her parents had some information against a powerful member of Parliament) everyone is pretty alarmed as it's the only time she's ever lost her composure.
- Twofer Token Minority: In "High School Life", Priya is one of a small handful of recurring POC characters and is the second confirmed LGBT character.

- Family Man: Hyun adores his family and will do anything to help them.

- Cool Teacher: He has a unique way of looking at art and he's quite charismatic behind the podium.
- Dark and Troubled Past: He married when he was twenty-three, but the relationship was a contentious one; he and his wife often argued. Seven years before the beginning of "University Life", his wife was killed in a mass shooting incident
- Teacher/Student Romance: During "University Life", Rayan is a possible love interest despite being a teacher and Candy one of his students.
