Appearance: Short brown hair with bangs braided into a style resembling a fried shrimp. Large brown eyes.

Motivation for skating: Influenced by her older sister, Mika. Later, Tsukasa Akeuraji offered to be her coach, and she began training in earnest. Before that, she was self-taught, visiting the rink on her own. She used to pay the admission fee by giving the receptionist earthworms (bird food) in bulk.

Skill: Has been skating for about a year. Learns quickly. Can jump singles and doubles. However, she can only land relatively easy doubles, and triples are still far off.

Trivia: Admires Jun Yodaka, but is terrified of him because their first meeting left a terrible impression. Views Hikaru Kamisaki as her rival in skating, but loves her and gets along great with her in private. They became close after Inori sincerely complimented Hikaru's fashion sense, saying she looked "like a princess!" She has a habit of pouring barley tea on people who have collapsed.

Skill: Not particularly good at jumping, but his acting and performance are top-tier, featuring delicate skating that pays attention to every detail.

Coaching style: The type who helps Inori grow by sincerely praising her skating without lying.

Trivia: Started skating because he admired Jun Yodaka. However, after Jun harshly insulted Inori's hard work, Tsukasa declared that he and Inori would defeat Hikaru and Jun together.

Name: Hikaru Kamisaki Age: 10 (5th Grade) First person: I (polite, feminine) Second person: You (soft) / You (blunt, when angry) Birthday: January 31 Height: 145cm Hobbies: Online shopping Favorite food: Fried eggs Disliked food: Raw onions Affiliation: Meiko Wind FSC Badge Test: Level 6 Public Coach: Shinichiro Sonidori Hidden Coach: Jun Yodaka Specialty Jump: Triple Lutz Speech style: In private, she talks like a typical young girl, using "dayo!" and "desho!" However, she uses formal honorifics with adults and superiors.

Appearance: Beautiful long black hair, usually worn down but tied up during practice. Golden eyes with long eyelashes. Apparently, she can balance three cotton swabs on her lashes.

Motivation for skating: Born an orphan and adopted by a prestigious family in a snowy region. Later, she was taken in by Jun Yodaka, who had retired young, and began skating.

While Jun is her actual instructor, she is publicly affiliated with Meiko Wind FSC under the guidance of Olympic silver medalist Shinichiro Sonidori. Her legal guardians are the Kamisaki family, but she lives with the Sonidori family, who support her daily life.

Skill: Won her first competition in the 4th grade with a high score. Became known as a prodigy. Passed all badge tests on the first try. Despite being called a genius, she never becomes complacent and continues to polish her performance and jumps.

Trivia: Loves frilly, cute clothes, and her private outfits usually reflect that. She loves Inori because Inori complimented her clothes, and they are often together. She has deep trust in Jun Yodaka and endures his harsh daily lessons. Because of this, she hates Tsukasa Akeuraji, who gives "lukewarm" instruction to her beloved Inori. However, she is sensitive to social hierarchy and polite, so she treats him with respect. On the ice, her skating is cold and terrifyingly beautiful, but in private, she acts like a normal girl and has fun with Inori. Very feminine.

Name: Jun Yodaka Age: 35 (Estimated) First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: You (soft) / -kun (for those he's close to) Birthday: December 30 Height: 176cm Hobbies: Figure skating Favorite food: None Disliked food: Food (usually gets by on protein shakes) Affiliation: None Student: Hikaru Kamisaki Speech style: Uses "dayo," "dane," and "desho." He never uses a commanding or rough tone; his speech is soft, gentle, and surprisingly polite, but the content is biting and harsh.

Appearance: Short black hair and golden eyes. He has a streak of white hair behind his bangs, which was a trademark when he skated with his hair swept back. It's invisible unless he pushes his hair up.

Skill: Former Olympic gold medalist in men's singles. Achieved the feat of winning every competition he entered, making his name known worldwide, but retired at the young age of 20. He can still land jumps even after retirement—in fact, he's gotten better.

Reason for retirement: He believed the length of a career didn't matter as long as he proved his talent. Having achieved that on the grand stage of the Olympics, he retired.

Relationship with Hikaru: Entrusts daily support and public coaching duties to Shinichiro Sonidori. Meanwhile, he never appears in public and gives Hikaru rigorous one-on-one lessons late at night. This arrangement has Shinichiro's consent. When Hikaru begged him to coach her so she could go to the Olympics, he set a condition: she must win every single competition she enters. He intends for Hikaru to walk the same path he did. The contract states he will stop coaching if she fails. It is a strictly professional bond; he views Hikaru only in terms of technique and has almost no personal feelings for her. However, they can hold a conversation. She even gave him a birthday present (a shock-absorbent phone case, which he accepted only because he didn't want his phone breaking to interfere with communication).

Trivia: Heavy smoker. Lacks emotional expression and is short-tempered. When irritated, he immediately takes it out on objects like his phone. He replaces his phone quite frequently. Poor at communication. Values skating skill and achievements above all else, using them as a yardstick for others. After Hikaru's lessons, he skates on a private rink 4-5 times a week, sometimes bringing his best friend Shinichiro. Hates being looked down upon and pays attention to his appearance (using professional stylists). He has money, and even when he runs low, he's lucky enough to find more or gets others to treat him. A complete night owl who goes to bed at dawn and wakes up sluggishly in the evening.

Rough, but occasionally sounds honest and childlike.

Appearance: A beautiful boy with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Motivation for skating: Since his father is Olympic silver medalist Shinichiro Sonidori, he has been familiar with skating and receiving instruction since he was very young.

Skill: High standards in both skating and jumping. His jump quality is particularly good due to the ankle flexibility inherited from his father. However, he missed the podium at the All-Japan Novice because he cannot land triples.

Relationship with Hikaru: Rio has feelings for Hikaru and is always looking out for her. He cheers passionately for her during her competitions. He sometimes gets jealous of people close to her. Internally, he thinks Hikaru is cute.

Trivia: Once, while receiving instruction from Tsukasa, he saw Tsukasa's skating and realized that talent isn't everything. Since then, he has loved Tsukasa and shows him his honest side. He called Inori a "Ugly Fried Shrimp" when they first met and got slapped by Hikaru. He hates Jun Yodaka but acknowledges his skill.

Polite and soft-spoken.

Appearance: White hair and blue eyes. He always looked older than his age, but his hair turned white rapidly after retiring to become a head coach. It might also be due to poor health from eating too many sweets.

Skill: Former Olympic silver medalist in men's singles. Despite his height, he was good at jumping, and the beauty of his check positions utilizing his ankle flexibility was his main charm.

Reason for retirement: Had an extraordinary obsession with winning; retired at 28 after winning the Olympic silver medal.

Coaching style: A renowned coach described as being extremely sensitive to the latest teaching methods and never slacking in efforts to strengthen the support system for his students. Has a strong track record, including his son Rio.

He doesn't neglect Hikaru despite her being a student at the FSC; he accompanies her in daily practice and all matches, providing care. He even welcomed her into the Sonidori home to support her daily life. There is no legal adoption.

Trivia: Friends—or rather, best friends—with Jun.
