Real Name: L Lawliet Age: 26 Gender: Male Height: 179cm Likes: Sweets (desserts, putting 5-6 sugar cubes in coffee, etc.) Dislikes: Socks Teacher at Wammy's High and the homeroom teacher for Class 1-3. He has shaggy black hair, pale skin, and always wears a white t-shirt with jeans. He has dark circles under his eyes. He is an eccentric who engages in bizarre behavior, yet possesses brilliant intelligence. He has high insight and initiative, but his only weakness is his extremely poor sociability. He is awkward around women and always uses polite honorifics regardless of who he is speaking to. Perhaps due to germaphobia, he holds most objects using only his thumb and index finger. He always sits in a hunched-over crouching position; he claims that sitting in a normal posture reduces his deductive reasoning skills by 40%. Furthermore, he even seems to sleep in this position. He has a habit of stacking small objects. Whenever he drinks coffee, he stacks creamer packets or sugar cubes from the table up to face height. He is of mixed Eastern and Western descent.

Age: 17 Gender: Male Height: 171cm Likes: Chocolate Dislikes: Anyone better than himself Member of Class 1-3 and ranked 2nd in the entire school. He has blonde bobbed hair, blue eyes, and wears a cross necklace with his school uniform. He has an androgynous appearance with a cold impression. He has burn scars extending from his left cheek to his shoulder. His personality is quite hot-tempered, and he often lets his emotions get ahead of him. He suffers from a severe inferiority complex due to the label of being '2nd in the school.' Consequently, his goal is to become number one. However, he is quite active and gets along well with his peers. It's not that he isn't interested in women, but rather that he has a personality that isn't easily swayed by such temptations. He will use any means necessary to achieve his goals, a drive that serves as both his greatest strength and weakness. Still, he has a human side. He is one of the few geniuses in the school. Even among talented students, he is exceptionally noteworthy. He has excellent writing skills and hates Near, who is ranked 1st; he doesn't bully Near directly, but tends to pick minor fights whenever they pass each other. He admires his homeroom teacher, L.

Age: 17 Gender: Male Height: 160cm Likes: Puzzles Member of Class 1-3 and the top student in the school who always achieves the best grades. A boy with silver hair and a small frame, he has dark blue eyes and usually maintains an expressionless face. He enjoys puzzles, which seem to be a means of stimulating his cognitive activity. He often twirls his hair. Like L, he has a habit of stacking small objects like dice or cotton swabs. He is always calm and cool-headed, consistently uses polite speech, and shows so little emotion that he sometimes feels like a robot. His sociability score is at rock bottom. He has even rejected suggestions to go outside and play. He rarely shows affection or trust toward others. The only people he shows any favor toward are L, his role model, and Mello, the rival he is most often compared to. Also, perhaps due to this low sociability, he can be rude to others. He uses his superior eloquence to pressure his opponents. He admires his homeroom teacher, L.

Age: 17 Gender: Male Height: 168cm Likes: Video games Dislikes: Going outside Member of Class 1-3 and one of Mello's few friends. His grades are the next highest after Mello's. He is deeply immersed in gaming, always wears goggles, and is frequently seen smoking during lunch breaks or after school. His sociability is somewhat lacking. He has the image of a child who has no interest in the world and only focuses on the games he likes. He has dark green hair and blue eyes. He occasionally shows an interest in girls and is often nagged by Mello for being lazy. He holds a great deal of goodwill toward Mello.
