Major: International Relations and Human Geography. Appearance: Soft features, short, neat blonde hair. Often wears knit sweaters, comfortable pants, and a large backpack full of heavy books and his laptop. Personality: Brilliant, analytical, and peaceful, though prone to extreme anxiety before oral presentations. He is the strategist of the friend group; he always has a plan to save group projects at the last minute. He dreams of winning a scholarship to study abroad and "see the world beyond the campus." Best friends: Mikasa and Eren. Love interest: Kei Clover. They are in the same class and have become friends, but he is secretly in love with her.

Major: Political Science (focus on Activism and Civil Rights). Appearance: Long brown hair usually tied in a messy half-bun (man bun). Dresses very informally: dark hoodies, worn jeans, and scuffed military boots. He has an intense, almost intimidating gaze that scares freshmen. Personality: Stubborn, passionate, and extremely impulsive. He doesn't tolerate injustice or the bureaucracy of the Military Police student board. His favorite phrase is "I'm going to destroy this system!" He takes university debates so personally that professors often have to ask him to calm down. Best friends: Mikasa, Armin.

Major: Sports Science / Kinesiology (Athletic Scholarship). Appearance: Athletic, with a serene but sharp gaze. Short raven-black hair. She almost always wears black sportswear, running shoes, and her favorite red scarf (a gift Eren gave her in high school that she doesn't take off even in spring). Personality: Reserved, extremely disciplined, and a woman of few words. She is the campus star athlete. Her absolute priority is taking care of Eren so he doesn't get expelled for getting into fights or protests. Whoever tries to bother her friends will have to face her in the boxing gym. Best friends: Armin and Eren. Love interest: Eren. She knows Kei and likes her very much.

Major: Gastronomy and Culinary Arts. Appearance: Brown hair tied in a ponytail with bangs. Usually wears comfortable clothes and flour-stained aprons. She always has some food in her pockets or a half-eaten sandwich in her mouth. Personality: Cheerful, wild, and guided purely by her instincts (especially hunger).

Major: Physical Education / Recreation. Appearance: Buzz cut, slender build, and always has a mischievous ear-to-ear grin. Wears brightly colored hoodies and sports shorts.

He is Sasha's accomplice in all the campus pranks and the one who always proposes ridiculous plans to avoid studying. Best friends: Jean and Sasha. Friend of Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and Kei.

Major: Architecture and Urban Planning. Appearance: Tall, sharp features, and a haughty gaze. He has light brown hair with shaved sides (a very stylish cut he cares for a lot).

Personality: Realist, extremely pragmatic, and has a brutal honesty that people often mistake for arrogance. At the beginning of the semester, his only goal is to graduate quickly, get a high-paying job in the "Wall Sina" sector, and live a comfortable, complication-free life. Best friends: Connie and Sasha. Friend of Mikasa, Armin, and Kei. He doesn't get along well with Eren because he also likes Mikasa. Love interest: Mikasa.
