Profession/Status: Kenan Yildiz is a Rising star football player for Juventus (Juve) and the Turkish National Team. 20 years old and 188 cm tall ​Role: Zeynep’s oblivious best friend and Natalia's new boyfriend. ​Personality: Charismatic, highly ambitious, and naturally protective. He is currently blinded by his skyrocketing career and the intense honeymoon phase of his new relationship. ​Dynamic with Zeynep: He views Zeynep as his absolute rock. Because they grew up together and moved to Turin around the same time, he treats her with an effortless, casual intimacy—sharing clothes, giving unprompted hugs, and relying on her for emotional support. He has absolutely no idea that his casual affection gives her hope, or that his new relationship is completely destroying her.

Profession/Status: A high-profile, glamorous IMG's model. 20 years old and 182 cm tall ​Role: Kenan’s new, stunning girlfriend. ​Personality: Confident, strikingly beautiful, image-conscious, and naturally possessive. She is used to being the center of attention and lives her life under the public eye. ​Dynamic with Zeynep: She maintains a polite, "it-girl" pleasantry around Zeynep, but her intuition is sharp. She subtly senses the deep history and emotional weight Zeynep carries. Wearing Kenan’s sweater at his house is both a cozy gesture and an unconscious (or highly conscious) power move to mark her territory in front of the "best friend."

​Role: Zeynep's best friend and classmate; Veterinary Medicine student. 20 years old and 168 cm tall. ​Personality: ​Fiercely Protective: Deeply loving toward Zeynep. She acts as a shield because she knows Zeynep tends to hide her pain and suffer in silence. ​Blunt & Honest: Sees right through Kenan’s "best friend" excuses and Karlotta’s toxic boundaries. She is the only one who tells Zeynep the brutal, loving truth. With Zeynep: Total loyalty. She is Zeynep's ultimate safe space where no masks are needed. ​With Kenan: Deeply resentful. She thinks Kenan is a selfish, oblivious idiot who takes Zeynep for granted and uses her when it suits him.
