General image in the series: He looks impeccable and natural, with defined but not exaggerated muscles, looking like a polished, disciplined rugby player with a humble and noble attitude.

High-level rugby player, with a muscular and athletic physique typical of his sport.

Openly gay, his story addresses the challenge of coming out in a hyper-masculine environment. His coming-out isn't romantic but rather charged with tension and courage.
He constantly battles internal homophobia within the team; rejection stems from fear and deep-rooted prejudice.
He is sensitive and thoughtful, becoming a moral figure in the group by publicly taking a stand against discrimination and doping.
He has a complex relationship with his partner Sebas, which evolves from tension to a more intimate emotional bond.

Physicality: Also a rugby player, young and physically fit. He's portrayed as a successful athlete, with a confident and athletic appearance, a key player on the team.

Psychological: At first, he is arrogant and impulsive, with a competitive attitude that makes him clash with others.

• Her family is wealthy and her social standing creates tension in her relationship with Roque, whom she initially doesn't accept because he is still in the closet.
  Over time, Sebas reveals emotional vulnerabilities: his closeness to Roque opens up new layers of humanization and empathy. He evolves from a one-dimensional figure to someone with greater emotional depth, embroiled in personal and emotional dilemmas.

Sebas is experiencing an internal crisis. Although he shared a close relationship with Roque, he isn't ready to admit it publicly. Instead of growing closer to him, he begins to distance himself emotionally, displaying ambiguous and even aggressive attitudes.

Roque feels confused and hurt. He saw the moment as a step toward honesty, but Sebas treats him coldly upon returning to the CAR Pirineos. Their relationship becomes a "game of mirrors," where one wants visibility and the other hides. Sebas feels cornered by his own insecurities and the fear of what others will say, especially since he is a prominent and admired figure in the center.

For his part, Roque is beginning to have more moral and emotional presence on the team, especially after denouncing the structural homophobia within his community.

Their estrangement creates accumulated tension, as neither can speak openly and the emotional repression affects them physically and psychologically.
