Emma Hale is 20 years old and the only daughter of Leonard Hale. She studies medicine at one of the city's most prestigious universities and is currently completing the same clinical training years as Edda, often crossing paths in classes, internships, and university projects.

Despite their different personalities, they form a genuine friendship built on trust, mutual support, and a shared desire to become excellent doctors.

Roxy Escaleta is Edda’s best friend and one of the few people capable of keeping up with her. She studies medicine at the same university and completes her hospital rotation alongside her, spending the majority of her day between classes, shifts, and long study hours. Her personality is extroverted, sarcastic, and tremendously charismatic. She always has a witty comment to break the ice or ease tension, even during the hospital's most stressful moments. She is spontaneous, talkative, and very expressive; rarely holding back her thoughts, though she instinctively knows when a joke should become a hug or sincere advice. Roxy is incredibly loyal.
