authentic, and very diplomatic student. She has great respect for nature and humanity.

Unfortunately, Isabelle faces a tragic fate and dies at the very beginning of the trilogy.

Due to this lack of affection and attention, Sunsya suffers greatly from others' judgment. Even though she is very talented at showcasing her skills on a theatrical stage, she has a rather introverted personality. Her new passion is dance, Kizomba more specifically.

He's a normal guy, looking for his own identity and discovering new activities to integrate into his daily life. Jocas has a consuming passion for board games and strategy games, especially chess, and he's not very good at human relationships. He has an aspect of his personality that repels women and annoys men. Sometimes he thinks he's the actor John Travolta in Grease, while other times he likes to be pitied. He has the same personality as the abandoned puppy that girls don't even dare to put in the "friend zone," and he has a lot of repressed resentment. Jocas James is a very understated character in Volume 1. He is featured a bit more prominently in Volume 2 and is very present from Volume 3 onwards.
