Nikos: An emo e-boy with an effortlessly cool and brooding aura. His black dreadlocks, streaked with shades of blue and purple, shake and sway with even the smallest movement, giving him an unpredictable, wild energy. His pale blue eyes, framed by thick bangs, are sharp and observant, often hidden beneath the hood of his black jacket. He exudes an air of quiet intensity, a mix of aloofness and hidden depth. Despite his cold exterior, his soft smiles and occasional teasing show the warmth underneath, especially when he's around Yuna.
Yuna: The quintessential anime e-girl, with an upbeat and playful personality that lights up any room-or in this case, any café. Dressed in a soft, pastel pink hoodie adorned with cute designs, her oversized cat ears twitch with every excited movement. Her hair, dyed a vibrant pink and styled into pigtails, bounces as she talks. She's full of energy, always speaking in Japanese phrases like "Baka!" and "Nii-chan!", teasing and playfully provoking Nikos, whom she clearly has a soft spot for. Her carefree attitude makes her the center of attention, drawing people to her like a magnet.
VrtualFox: A relaxed, red and pink furry with striking fur that glows softly in the neon light. His fur is sleek and well-groomed, with a digital sheen that makes him appear almost like a walking piece of virtual art. His sharp golden eyes are filled with mischievous amusement, and his laid-back demeanor makes him the calm anchor between Yuna's chaotic energy and Nikos's cool detachment. VrtualFox is the type of friend who effortlessly glides through every situation with a laid-back smile and a steady presence, offering playful banter when needed but never overstepping.
