Cyril

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyril.png
Our polite protagonist who was reborn into the world of a game he played and at a very young age, decided to dedicate his life to protecting Sophia as her personal servant. He is from a world with both advanced science and magic, and has many talents carried over from it. He excels at taking proactive steps and planning ahead, but he also tends to overthink things.
  • The Ace: Skilled enough so that he has to sabotage his test score in order for Sophia to give the entry speech instead of him. As for his reputation, with the handicap of him being a mere servant, it takes a while but he does eventually fit in that regard.
  • Battle Butler: He’s also Sophia’s bodyguard, but he prefers to pro-actively deal with issues before they come to violence.
  • The Charmer: Smooth as butter with the opposite sex.
  • Chick Magnet: Turns more and more into one of these as time goes on.
  • Declaration of Protection: When he first met Sophia, and he takes it very seriously. The problem is that she took it in a different way
  • Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: Cyril has this reaction when he realizes his actions to have Sophia and Alforth get together instead caused both Sophia and Alicia to fall for him.
  • Famed In-Story: Sophia puts a great deal of effort into making Cyril famous, to suit her long term plans to ennoble him, so that it’d be possible for the two to marry. Ironically, the biggest events to increase his fame end up being things outside of her control or ability to predict.
  • Guile Hero: He mostly uses cunning, wits, and connections to solve his problems, instead of force.
  • Hijacked Destiny: He accidentally does this to Prince Alforth regarding Alicia’s love. It later turns out that he also did this to an extent to Sophia’s older brother without a clue as he hadn’t played the game’s expansion.
  • Honest Advisor: Cyril acts as this for Sophia and others. For those he’s assigned to tutor, it can overlap with Sadist Teacher.
  • KidAnova: Gets accused of being this. He mostly just flirts with Sophia and Alicia… mostly.
  • Lady and Knight: The Knight to Sophia’s Lady.
  • Legacy of Service: His father Cedric was (and still is) Marquess Grave’s butler.
  • Like Father, Like Son: In addition to being a competent butler, his father's POV chapter reveals he too was a Clueless Chick-Magnet, if his wife's words are to go by.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: About the Benevolent Conspiracy spearheaded by Sophia to make him a noble so that the two can marry, although it’s likely he’s at least suspected it.
  • Next Life as a Fictional Character: He was an unnamed otaku reborn as the boy who would become the villainess' butler, who would be executed as an accomplice. Using his knowledge of future events, and wanting to avoid his death, he becomes her butler much earlier and gets rid of events that would cause her to become the villainess in the first place.
  • Oblivious to Love: Despite his analytical thinking, he is unable to figure out why she had him be her escort. This position is only supposed to be for a family member or a lover. He chalks it up to her just wanting an escort she could trust rather than the blatantly obvious fact that she is in love with him. It takes her using the phrase "Why won't you look at me?" for him to realize her feelings for him.
  • Penny Among Diamonds: Cyril is not just a commoner, but a servant too, meaning there are even more strict restrictions on his behavior. So this trope is heavily woven into the work, pointing out all the everyday things people say that he and other servants aren’t allowed to. The classes in the academy are actually segregated into Noble, Common, and Servant courses, but of course most of who Cyril interacts with are nobles and he’s always walking on a tightrope.
  • Phrase Catcher: People questioning him if he’s really his physical age.
  • Private Tutor: He doubled as this for Sophia, and does it for others over the course of the story as well.
  • Renaissance Man: Has a little bit of talent in everything it seems. In his day to day life, he’s a servant, chef, bodyguard, student, leader, and tutor.
  • Romantic Wingman: He started out trying to do this for Sophia and Alforth, until it became apparent that she wasn’t interested in him. He still holds on to the possibility of her falling for someone else besides himself and supporting her in that.
  • Royal Favorite: The favor of Sophia and eventually certain others allows him to get away with talking brazenly and critically in situations a servant normally would be endangering themselves by doing so.
  • Sadist Teacher: With those he tutors. Libert feels some sympathy for Sophia facing Cyril's Brutal Honesty, but she jokes that she’d prefer if he was even harsher.
  • So Proud of You: Has a lot of these moments for Sophia but also others.
  • Supreme Chef: Is known for his genius culinary inventions in-universe, but that’s mostly due to Past-Life Memories. Sophia takes advantage of this to create a faction initially consisting of girls desperate to try out his tea and sweets.
  • Team Dad: Very much so.
  • The Tease: When interacting with Sophia and Alicia. He really enjoys their flustered and embarrassed expressions.
  • Through Her Stomach: Cyril often does this for Sophia but also servants and friends to reward them or help them deal with stress. He’s almost like a doting grandparent in that regard.
  • Throwing the Fight: He deliberately asks for his Dancing Grade to be cut in half after catching an exhausted girl who collapsed so as to make sure Sophia is the one to make the speech. The fact his grade was cut to "51" meant that he was going to get a score of 102.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Cyril's father notes he matured too fast just barely after learning to speak and knows things he shouldn't.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Sophia. He almost seems to have a romanticized image in his head of dying to protect her.
  • Villains Act, Heroes React: Averted, Cyril is a very proactive hero.
  • Xanatos Gambit: He makes plans for everything daily to protect Sophia, even if it requires sacrificing himself in the process.
    Sophia Rosenberg 

Sophia Rosenberg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sophia_rosenberg.png
The eponymous villainous daughter, who Cyril has worked tirelessly to steer away from her dark path, and lead her away from ruin. She is kind, rational, and intelligent, but where Cyril is concerned, nothing's off the table. She uses words and schemes as her primary weapons, but deep inside there is always darkness lurking.
  • The Ace: As far as others are concerned. As far as she is concerned, she’s Always Second Best to Cyril. During the entrance exam, violin was the one thing she thought she could beat him in, leading to a tantrum when he beat her.
  • Arc Words: "Why won't you look at me?" Originally she said this to Prince Alforth before her Start of Darkness and eventual demise. She now directs these words to Cyril during moments of extreme jealousy.
  • Benevolent Conspiracy: Has her own to make Cyril into a noble so she can marry him despite their difference in status.
  • Berserk Button: Any insult or suggestion that Cyril is incompetent will invoke her wrath. Depending on how much of a Jerkass they are about it, her rage will range from Tranquil Fury to Unstoppable Rage.
  • Cassandra Truth: When she was younger the head maid would bully her, but when she complained the other maids just thought she was lying. It took Cyril finding evidence of her crimes as well as crimes of embezzlement to reveal the truth.
  • The Chessmaster: Who can manipulate even her (terrified of her) father Grave and Cyril, though she doesn’t treat anyone as disposable pawns.
  • Childhood Marriage Promise: While the promise Cyril made to her wasn’t exactly this (it was a Declaration of Protection), as far as Sophia is concerned, it was one, and is Serious Business.
  • Expansion Pack Past: A literal In-Universe example, with expansion scenes like her encountering Roy and Emma, and her being a bro-con for her older brother.
  • Famed In-Story: Her mature impression at the prince’s birthday party at ten made Sophia famous. Everything she does to exploit Cyril’s otherworldly cuisine knowledge to grow her personal faction just increases it, until it gets to the point where there are things like a forced Arranged Marriage set up by students parents to try to get connections with Sophia’s inner circle.
  • Fictional Disability: Regarding how her body handles magic: It produces too much and she must release it, otherwise the excess mana turns her eyes red and aggravates her anger.
  • Freudian Excuse: In the game, it was her maid and the other servants bullying her, making her hate commoners. This is the first obstacle eliminated by Cyril.
  • Friendly Rivalry: With Alicia, who she befriends and educates despite being in a Love Triangle over Cyril.
  • Guile Hero: Uses connections and social skills to get things done.
  • Hoist by Their Own Petard: In the game’s Alforth route, she was betrayed by the man she hired to kill Alicia, who told the prince about the scheme instead of carrying it out.
  • In Spite of a Nail: Despite everything Cyril accomplished to give her a happy childhood and a better life, she still gets easily jealous and angry. It would appear that it was an In-Universe Guide Dang It! moment as Cyril never realized that the reason why she would become irrationally angry was due to an illness with how her body handled her excessive mana.
  • Karmic Misfire: Cyril strongly feels that this is what happened to her in the game. She was after all having her fiancé stolen from her, with a Freudian Excuse and chronic illness.
  • King Incognito: As part of her social studies, she goes out disguised as a commoner with a wig.
  • Lady and Knight: The lady to Cyril’s knight.
  • Like Mother, Like Daughter: According to her father Grave, she inherited her wrathful side from her mother.
  • Lonely Rich Kid: Her parents are often away on other business, not even showing up for her birthdays. She quickly latches onto Cyril for companionship after he promises to always be there for her.
  • Proper Lady: Is the model of a perfect lady even as young as ten due to Cyril’s tutoring and a lot of hard work, which really enhances her reputation. Not that she doesn’t still have plenty of childish outbursts, but they’re mostly in private.
  • Protectorate: For Cyril, which leads to some consternation from her worrying about him sacrificing his happiness and life.
  • Rage Against the Heavens: In a way. She flat out states that she would even go against the gods to be able to walk alongside Cyril. She states this to the King and Queen who understand the Double Meaning behind it, as if stating she would even go against the Royal Family in treason. However, the King lets it slide.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: When she’s angry. It’s tied to her Fictional Disability.
  • The Scapegoat: In one of the game routes, the elitist faction made her a patsy for one of their own crimes. The Prince's lackies tried to do this to her when she attacked them, but Cyril was prepared with enough evidence of their family's crimes that the King became indebted to her.
  • Silk Hiding Steel: Both practices martial arts every day, and keeps a concealed weapon on her.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Her name is sometimes written as Sofia.
  • Stalker with a Crush: Since she can’t really get away with doing it herself, she has other servants stalk Cyril in her stead, essentially acting like a jealous lover watching out for infidelity.
  • Team Mom: Regarding the girls of her faction as well as Roy and Emma.
  • Throwing the Fight: It was noted she attempted to do this during the Entrance Exam, as the only question she got wrong was a question everyone else easily answered correctly. However, Cyril did this as well so she would be the winner.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Cyril’s shortcake.
  • Tragic Villain: Her role in the game timelines.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: From the perspective of Sophia’s father Grave, her engaging in political scheming from as early as the age of ten is this. Nobles are generally expected to grow up fast, but Sophia easily acts twice her age; Grave slowly turns from adoring to terrified.
  • When You Coming Home, Dad?: A big part of her drive is having replaced the hole in her life from her busy parents with others, which is reflected differently in the game timelines and the timeline readers experience.
  • Wise Beyond Their Years: Which surprises pretty much every adult she meets, and she doesn’t have the excuse of Past-Life Memories for it.
  • Unishment: Sees Cyril being a Sadist Teacher as a good thing because she’s into that.
  • Unpopular Popular Character: In-Universe. The original Sophia was given a sympathetic backstory of living a lonely life while being bullied by the maids. It's this reason alone Cyril decided to move her off her Death Ending than just save his own hide.
  • The Unsmile: Occasionally shows one when Cyril gets too close to another girl.
  • Yandere: She was a clear cut example in the game’s routes for Prince Alforth, and Cyril is perpetually worried about her ‘falling into darkness’ like that. Ultimately, she’s a kind person with a lot of friends, but she still gets overly jealous quickly and easily over Cyril... she’s just more of a brilliant Guile Hero about it than before.

    Alicia 

Alicia

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alicia_0.png
The protagonist of the dating sim Cyril was reborn into. She’s a cheerful, idealistic and determined daughter of a viscount. Alicia falls for Cyril after he steals her romance flag from Alforth accidentally when he was actually just trying to destroy it to make things easier between Sophia and the prince.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: She knows Cyril is wholeheartedly devoted to Sophia, but she still can't help but feel jealous over him.
  • Friendly Rivalry: Her dynamic with Sophia, helping each-other and being taught how to behave more like a noble by her, despite their Love Triangle over Cyril.
  • The Heart: Plays this role for the main cast.
  • Innocently Insensitive: She tends to blithely tread over social norms relating to class and status. This was the reason she was held from attending the academy until years later in the game, because of her lack of manners.
  • The Ingenue: Which really makes her stick out from all the scheming and Double Meaning speech that happens around her.
  • Love at First Sight: Cyril saving her from the pushy Earl’s son. One could say it’s an example of the suspension bridge effect.
  • Penny Among Diamonds: Downplayed, she’s low ranked nobility.
  • Plucky Girl: Her archetype, optimistic and determined to catch her love.
    Prince Alforth 

Alforth

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prince_alforth.png
One of the capture targets in the game, the naive and innocent second prince of the royal family, who falls in love with Sophia at the birthday party after dancing with her and trampling her feet, leaving a whirlwind of chaos in his wake due to his careless social actions pursuing her.
  • Be Yourself: The advice he’s given for his acting in the School Play, which is a bit ironic, considering the character he’s playing… is literally himself from a different timeline and a few years later.
  • Birds of a Feather: In the game timeline, his romance path with Alicia.
  • Butt-Monkey: After the incident in the rose garden, and being assigned Cyril as his tutor, he’s constantly humiliating himself to make amends as well as being publicly scolded by Cyril.
  • Character Development: Arguably undergoes the most in the series. Taking Cyril’s tutoring seriously, taking full responsibility publicly for his mistakes, reforming himself, as well as taking an I Want My Beloved to Be Happy stance with Sophia.
  • Double Meaning: Really struggles with this sort of thing, which is bad because of how important and common it is in noble society.
  • Extreme Doormat: His lackies and tutor openly manipulate his naivety to make him appear to be a commoner hater. After getting rid of them and Cyril flat out telling him that Sophia has no respect for him, he admits his mistakes and works to better himself.
  • Humble Hero: One of the upsides of his naive personality is that he’s humble and kind, which adds to his charm.
  • Innocently Insensitive: He acts like a kid, because he's a kid… the problem is, he’s also a royal prince and doesn’t act it in the slightest, accidentally saying things interpreted as having a Double Meaning. He gets better over time.
  • Irony: In a game centered around everyone having a "Light & Dark" side, Cyril is baffled to find out he never has any ulterior motives. He was honestly just a boy in love with Sophia and wanted to know how to court her.
  • Nice Guy: Nice and a little too innocent.
  • Prince Charming: His role in the game, which Cyril often compares him to. He was supposed to be some years older for most of that, though, which Cyril acknowledges.
  • Taught by Experience: About the hardships brought about by being as socially clueless as he was at first.
  • What Does He See in Her?: How he feels about the Prince character he’s trying to play in the School Play, for going with the game’s heroine instead of the villainess who’s clearly based on Sophia. Which is ironic, because he’s supposed to be playing himself who went for the heroine in the game.
    Libert 

Libert

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/libert.png
The guarded leader of the commoner faction in the academy, the heir to a wealthy family of merchants, and a capture target in the game. He is particularly suspicious of Cyril and has feelings for Alicia. He dislikes and distrusts nobles and those close to them, but can overlook that for Alicia due to her innocence.
  • Beneath the Mask: He puts on elaborate acts in public that Cyril has to probe the hidden meanings of.
  • The Cynic: Operates on this worldview.
  • Cynicism Catalyst: The betrayal by a supposedly allied noble that led to his sister dying in his backstory.
  • Double Meaning: In contrast to many other characters, Libert can go toe to toe with Cyril with these phrases.
  • Merchant Prince: The scion of a powerful merchant family.
  • Opposites Attract: Being attracted to Alicia, who’s open, cheerful and idealistic, while Libert is guarded, jaded, and cynical.
  • Properly Paranoid: Has a healthy sense of caution after being betrayed by a noble he trusted in the past. With all the scheming going on in the Academy, he’s better off that way.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Develops into this with Cyril.
  • Wise Beyond Their Years: Can keep up with the Subtext, Double Meaning, and schemes of Cyril quite well, and can handle business negotiations, despite being around twelve.
  • Worthy Opponent: He sees Cyril like this both for his scheming mind and as a challenger for Alicia’s affection.
  • Young Entrepreneur: Making extensive business arrangements before even graduating middle school, he’s clearly qualified to inherit his family fortune.
    Princess Folsynia 

Fol

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/princess_folsynia.png
Fol is introduced as Sophia and Cyril’s dance partners at the academy entry exam, testing them, a while later entering the spotlight properly. Fol is cheeky and mischievous senpai who likes to be mysterious, and is judged by Cyril to be on the same level as Sophia. She was actually another villainous daughter in the game's expansion, and is Alforth’s cousin.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: First appears investigating and dancing with Cyril at the entrance exam before later joining the main cast.
  • Engagement Challenge: Offering one of these was her main role in the game’s Expansion Pack.
  • Fictional Disability: Her illness is a major plot point. Like Sophia, her body produces too much mana but hers is a more serious condition and she has less experience in releasing mana until Cyril helps her to manage it.
  • The Gadfly: A cheeky trickster when she’s not in an overly serious mood.
  • King Incognito: Pretending to be a commoner sponsored by an Earl house when in the Academy.
  • Kissing Cousins: Her dynamic with her cousin Prince Lancelot in the Expansion Pack. In the current reality, he drives away her suitors because he thinks they’re not good enough for her.
  • Secret-Keeper: Her being made aware of the world being based on a game, as well as Tristan’s investigation of Cyril, which she willingly took part in. Although Tristan kept her out of the loop with regard to her fate in the games.
  • Secret Test of Character: Her dances with Sophia and Cyril.
  • Sixth Ranger: Moves into the main cast a good while after it’s been established.

The Servant A Class

    Raymond 

Raymond

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raymond_9.png
A hot blooded servant class student bent on outshining and replacing Cyril to earn a job under Sophia. There’s more to him than first appears.
  • Break the Haughty: From his experience failing his challenge to Cyril.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: From his father dying, leaving him needing to provide for his family.
  • A Day in the Limelight: The side story focusing on his backstory and perspective on events up until that point.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: The result of Cyril’s forgiveness and trust of him despite everything he did.
  • Fatal Flaw: Being Driven by Envy against Cyril. He actually can be intelligent and responsible, but his obsession to out-do Cyril overrides his reason. He gets better after Cyril's encouragement and proves himself a good butler-to-be.
  • Hero-Worshipper: Turns into this for Cyril over time.
  • Hot-Blooded: Gives this first impression as he was bent on getting a job at any cost.
  • Legacy of Service: Like Cyril, comes from a household of butlers.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: Cyril sympathizes with Raymond fearing for his family's future, thinking that it's not much different from Cyril's own efforts to change his and Sophia's fates.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Fol hiring him for the Royal Family.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: He apologizes to all his classmates, especially Cyril for the Freshman Welcome Party debacle, and later advises Cyril on making contact with Libert.
    Tristan 

Tristan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tristan_4.png
Tristan is simultaneously, Cyril’s servant course teacher, a capture target in the game, and Cyril’s uncle. He was a prodigy who got recruited by the royal family right from the academy in his day, and acts as a mentor to Cyril.
  • The Ace: When attending the Academy, although he warns that’s far from enough to ensure smooth sailing as a servant.
  • Child Prodigy: Enough so for Cyril to be called "the next Tristan"
  • Hot Teacher: He’s an otome game capture target, and a teacher.
  • Mentor Archetype: Gives useful advice to Cyril regularly, which is no mean feat, considering it's Cyril.
  • Not So Stoic: Even Tristan loses his composure when Cyril scolds Alforth over his obliviousness after being asked for advice, as Cyril was perpetrating lese majesty, which could cost him his head.
  • The Reveal: Tristan did a Fusion Dance with Cyril’s past-life sister when awakening to her Past-Life Memories at a later age than Cyril did. The one who sent Fol, Luke, and Chloe to spy on Cyril was in fact Tristan. That was because, having knowledge of both the game and its Expansion Pack from those memories, Tristan was Wrong Genre Savvy that Cyril was a Harem Seeker scoundrel, and wary of him, but also suspected Cyril’s identity and thus ability to save Fol from her critical illness. The reason Fol’s advisor, who wrote the School Play script based on the game, was a “she”, was because Fol was aware of the dual persona.
  • Teacher/Student Romance: His route in the game. At least he was teaching a different class than Alicia’s.
  • Trickster Mentor: Him deceiving his class about why Cyril scored so low on the dance test to help them truly respect him better in the long run, is just the first example.
    Chloe & Luke 

Chloe & Luke

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chloe_and_luke.png
Two members of the servant A class, mainly notable for their spying on Cyril and the mystery of who they serve and why. They’re childhood friends who were taken in as servants from the slums.
  • Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: The two’s dynamic, with Luke as the boke and Chloe as the tsukkomi.
  • Childhood Friends: They were this, in contrast to Roy and Emma being literal siblings. Cyril teases Chloe over this.
  • Dope Slap: Chloe tends to do this to Luke for his lack of subtlety.
  • History Repeats: Their origin was repeated with Roy and Emma.
  • Number Two: Cyril makes Luke into his deputy for the servant’s A class.
  • Overt Operative: Luke’s really bad at hiding his nature as a spy.

From the Slums

    Roy & Emma 

Roy & Emma

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roy_and_emma.png
Two slum runaways, who encounter and are taken in as servants by Sophia and Cyril after Roy rescued Emma from being sold into slavery.
  • Adopt-a-Servant: Pretty much de-facto adopted by Sophia and Cyril.
  • Bodyguarding a Badass: They’re being trained to guard Sophia, who can handle herself well enough.
  • Desperately Craves Affection: Cyril finds that giving them an Affectionate Gesture to the Head has a huge impact on the two due to the absence of a nurturing environment in the slums.
  • History Repeats: They became servants the same way Chloe and Luke did in the past.
  • Made a Slave: What prompted them to become runaways was Emma being sold off to be a Sex Slave out of the financial desperation of their parents.
  • Revenge: Their role in the game’s Expansion Pack was to get chased away by Sophia before Roy swears revenge on her.
  • Rich Language, Poor Language: Some of their tutoring involves them figuring out this.
  • The Runaway: Seeing Emma being sold off prompts them both to give up on their parents entirely and fatefully stumble into Sophia.
  • Sibling Team: After becoming servants. Cyril has them taking turns with one pretending to be a noble and the other their servant as part of their training, amongst other cooperation.
  • Undying Loyalty: For Sophia saving them. Cyril was very conscious of how this might not have been the case, and took measures to ensure their parents were well for the inevitable day that they worry about them.

    Nameless 

Nameless

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nameless_7.png
The boss of the criminal underworld and a ruined former noble, who fights against the corrupt using his underworld dealings.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Reacts to Cyril’s unexpected competence with this.
  • Decoy Leader: Has one that looks more the part of a gang leader. Since Cyril’s played the game, he isn’t fooled one bit and they quickly drop the pretense.
  • Everyone Has Standards: He clearly has a conscience even if a ruthless pragmatist. Nameless expresses exasperation at a number of Cyril’s schemes, though that’s as much about how strange it is hearing them from someone Cyril’s age.
  • Karmic Thief: Motivated by hatred of nobles who abuse their power.
  • Knowledge Broker: One of the services he offers, and Cyril makes good use of.
  • Loveable Rogue: Was included in the game for some of this appeal.
  • Riches to Rags: A former noble driven to ruin.
  • Scoundrel Code: He and his organization clearly have their own codes of conduct. It’s suggested that he’s tough but fair to his employees.
  • Worthy Opponent: Views Cyril as one, after witnessing his clever and smooth negotiation.
    That boy is a monster wearing a child's skin. *smirks* Indeed, it seems we'll be getting along for a long time.

Other

    Pamela 

Pamela

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pamela_3.png
The girl who Cyril saved from collapsing on the floor in the entrance exam, and later joins Sophia’s faction. She’s from an Earl ranked family, but poor. She’s actually supposed to be the protagonist of the dating sim’s expansion.
  • Arranged Marriage: She nearly gets forced into one by nobles who want to suck up to Sophia, before Sophia coaxes her into telling about it.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: She's initially introduced as a random extra who fainted during the entrance exam and makes minor appearances as a member of Lady Sophia's faction. Many chapters later it's revealed she is actually the protagonist of the dating sim's prequel. And because Cyril and Sophia help her by preventing her being pressured into getting married, the plotlines she otherwise would've been dealing with suddenly become Cyril's problem.
  • Fainting: Due to Anemia. This was actually supposed to be a significant event where she met Prince Lancelot…
  • Impoverished Patrician: It seems their territory is really poor, but could really benefit from Sophia introducing potato crops to it.
  • Weight Woe: The cause of her fainting was dieting too hard. Cyril gave her a more proper meal plan.
    Prince Lancelot 

Lancelot

The first prince and presumed heir to the Kingdom, and one of the capture targets of the game’s expansion. The heroine was supposed to comfort him over a certain tragedy.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: Driving anyone too interested in Fol to ruin certainly qualifies.
  • Kissing Cousins: His romantic plotline with Fol, both in the game, and the undertones in the current reality.
  • Spear Counterpart: Cyril comes to consider him a bit like a male version of Sophia personality wise, logical and kind most of the time, but a little unhinged regarding his crush…
