In the Garden of Crazed Obsession

* Kazuomi Kifune
- 28 years old
- 180cm
- 85kg

The master of the Kifune family. A landlord.
He's often praised by everyone to be kind, but he simply holds no interest in others. If he were to categorize the people of this world, they would be separated into "the heroine", "himself" and "everybody else".
He thinks his half-brother, Sousuke, as pitiful and is rather attached to him, but feelings for Sousuke are nothing more than what one would feel towards a dog that they're raising rather than towards another human being.
He refers to the heroine as "my lady".

* Sousuke Nitta
- 21 years old
- 170cm
- 70kg

Kazuomi's little brother who was born to a different mother. He's attending university with the financial assistance provided by the Kifune family. The illegitimate child between the previous Kifune family head and his concubine (a geiko).
He was taken in by the Kifune family after the passing of his birth mother when he was young. However, conscious of their family's reputation, Kazuomi's grandfather instead passed Sousuke on to the Nittas, who are a merchant family.
Though feeling as if he was betraying his half-brother, he chose happiness with the heroine and eloped.
A calm and kind man who is a little puppy-like. Although modest, he holds strength at his core.
He refers to the heroine as "Your Highness".


* The heroine
The lady of a certain earl, whose family is in decline. Kazuomi and Sousuke's childhood friend.
Thinking of Kazuomi as nothing more than an elder brother, she decided to elope with her secret lover Sousuke on the eve of her wedding despite the difference in their standings.
Though they were poor, the both of them led a very happy life for the most fleeting of moments, but it was instantly crushed when Kazuomi caught up to them.
Her life raised in difficulty the moment her parents promised her hand in marriage to Kazuomi.
