Louis / Outstanding Animals

Species: Congo lion. Appearance Agatha has dark fur and a slightly wavy mane. Compared to the other, more stern members of the Shishigumi, he has younger, more naive features. He has light spots under his eyes, resembling freckles. Like the other members of the gang, he usually wears a black suit and tie. Personality and Actions He smiles often—he has a generally positive outlook. He's proud to be a lion and a member of the Shishigumi. However, he's more naive than the other members of the gang, likely due to his age. He's caring and respectful. For example, he once reprimanded Melon, emphasizing the importance of Black Market etiquette and respect for meat and its origins. He was treated with care by the gang due to his young age—Dolph was especially protective of him.

As a child, Agatha grew up in a family where his mother wielded more power and was domineering. In defiance, he became a bully and eventually ended up in the Black Market. There, he met the lions of the Shishigumi—they shared similar internal conflicts that the other animals couldn't understand. That's how Agatha joined the group.

Louis. Bill sees Louis as a role model, but their relationship is rocky. Bill tried to demonstrate his dominance, which nearly got him shot by a deer. However, after Louis's disappearance, Bill was genuinely worried about him. Legoshi. Bill considers Legoshi a loser and doesn't understand why, despite being strong, he prefers to remain quiet and inconspicuous. Their views on the coexistence of predators and herbivores differ dramatically, leading to conflict. Over time, they were able to put aside their grudges and become friends of sorts. Aoba. They are good friends, with Aoba often acting as a more mature mentor to Bill. Pina. Bill initially hated Pina for his narcissism and insults toward predators. However, after they nursed a chick found in an "extra egg" together, their relationship improved. Alice. Bill admitted that if Alice were a tigress, he would sleep with her. Their friendship strengthened after the events of the play, thanks to their shared interest in manga.

A Bengal tiger, a student at Cherryton Academy and an active member of the school's drama club. Appearance: Bill has a strong build. His fur is orange with black stripes, and his underbelly is cream-colored. He wears the academy's school uniform most of the time: a white shirt, a blue vest, a gray tie, gray striped trousers, and brown shoes. Personality: Initially, Bill appears self-assured and rather arrogant, with an inflated sense of self-importance. He openly talks about his connections and his visits to the black market, believing it makes him look tough. He's not afraid to get into fights, using his physical strength. However, over the course of the story, the character undergoes a noticeable evolution. His views were influenced by several events: Alice's yelling. When Bill learned that the academy's herbivorous and carnivorous students were being separated, Alice yelled at him, causing him to question his own nature. The discovery of the "extra egg." Bill discovered a commercial egg that accidentally contained an embryo. A chick hatched from it, and Bill, overcome with anxiety, began caring for it before handing it over to the doctors. This act made him promise himself to stop going to the black market and change his outlook on the world. Bill is proud to be a tiger and wants carnivores to be as recognized as herbivores. At the same time, he has a basic understanding of right and wrong: for example, he recognized Legoshi's impulsive action on stage as justified, even though he didn't fully agree with it.

Legoshi. Juno initially fell head over heels in love with him after he protected her from bullies. But he didn't reciprocate her feelings, and over time they became friends. Juno began to see Legoshi as a mentor of sorts in matters of interspecies relationships. Louis. At first, Juno perceived Louis as a rival. Haru. At first, Juno disliked Haru, considering her a rival due to Legoshi's feelings for the rabbit. But later, when her feelings for Legoshi faded, she began to see Haru as a friend.

Juno is an anthropomorphic gray wolf. Her fur has a slightly purple tint. The fur on her ears and cheeks is longer than Legoshi's, suggesting a feminine hairstyle. She most often wears the Cherryton Academy school uniform—a belted white dress with a tie. For drama club activities, she chooses a white T-shirt and red shorts. Personality: Juno is kind and compassionate. For example, she risks being late for rehearsal by helping a sloth classmate get to the bathroom, and after rehearsal, she volunteers to mop the floors. She is self-confident and goal-oriented. Her idealism and determination stem from her past: in elementary school, she was bullied for being a gray wolf. Juno believes that predators and herbivores can live in peace if predators stand out and display their strength. She strives to become a "Beastar"—a title given in the Beastars world to those who contribute to society. However, she also has a dark side: she can be jealous and possessive, willing to do anything to achieve her goals.

Legoshi. Their first meeting took place at night in the schoolyard, when Legoshi, succumbing to instinct, nearly attacked Haru. Later, realizing his mistake, he let her go, and Haru saw him as the "wrong" wolf. Their relationship develops in a complex manner: they struggle to overcome internal conflicts and contradictions inherent in their natures.

Louis. Haru and Louis were in a "friends with benefits" relationship. Their relationship later ended when Haru began to develop feelings for Legoshi.

Mizuchi. She hates Haru for sleeping with her boyfriend. Mizuchi gathers her friends to bully Haru, but she usually responds harshly until one day she finally loses her temper. Juno. Juno was initially jealous of Haru because of Legoshi's attention, but their relationship later improved.

Appearance and image: Haru has light cream fur and large, dark eyes, like a real rabbit. At the beginning of the story, she usually wears her school uniform: a white blouse, a bow tie, a long pleated skirt, and Mary Jane shoes. After graduating from Cherryton Academy and entering university, Haru switches to more casual clothing: a light orange turtleneck, jeans, and Converse shoes. Character: Haru's defining trait is her willingness to be true to herself. In a world where many characters wear "masks," she consciously chooses to live by her own desires rather than the expectations of others. Her "childlike sincerity" is a trait she shares with her wolf, Legoshi. Haru is the only member of the Gardening Club at Cherryton Academy. However, her sexual promiscuity makes her an outcast at school. Society perceives her as a fragile herbivore in need of protection, while she yearns to be valued as a complete person. Because of this fear and mistrust, Haru tends to keep others at a distance, even those who genuinely want to get closer to her. Despite her reputation, Haru is friendly and sociable. She is willing to help others and listen to them, but is also capable of standing up for herself. She is courageous, unafraid to speak with dangerous animals and even to visit dangerous places like the Black Market. Her honesty can be harsh at times and hurt others, but she has good intentions and matures as the story progresses.

Legoshi. Jack and Legoshi were childhood friends. They met at the park: Jack couldn't get along with other children, and Legoshi was the only one who invited him to play. From then on, Jack became a loyal friend, always monitoring Legoshi's well-being and concerned for his well-being. After Legoshi left home and entered Cherryton Academy, Jack became the only person who cared for him and the closest person to him during his school years. Jack is one of the few people who knows Legoshi's secret about his mixed-blood heritage. Other characters: Jack has dorm mates—Kollot, Voss, Miguno, and Durham. He also interacts with Gosha, a Komodo dragon who knows about Jack's knowledge of Legoshi's lineage.

He is a Labrador Retriever and a close friend and roommate of the wolf Legoshi. Appearance and characteristics: A yellow Labrador with a slender build and large brown eyes. He usually wears the school uniform: a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, an indigo vest, a dark gray tie, black suspenders, gray trousers with dark gray vertical stripes, and brown loafers. In warmer months, he wears a blue polo shirt instead of a coat. Personality and characteristics: He's usually cheerful, happy, and friendly, but a bit naive in his surroundings. He's diligent in his studies and is considered the hardest-working student in the dorm and the smartest in his year. He worries about Legoshi, who, despite his quiet nature, can be intimidating to others. Since childhood, Jack has looked down on his origins: his species was the result of artificial manipulation of wolf DNA during the war. Dogs were created to produce a new breed of carnivore with greater intelligence and reduced aggression. This led him to harbor hidden feelings of envy and resentment toward Legoshi, whom he viewed as an older relative. These negative feelings later developed into the belief that his "condition" as a dog had corrupted his emotions and dampened his empathy. He claimed he couldn't truly cry, so he peeled onions to open his tear ducts. After Legoshi returned to Cherryton High School, Jack began to appear more tired. During this time, he developed a fear of other dogs and their potential apathy. Legoshi later saved Jack when he attempted suicide by eating onions, which are poisonous to dogs.

A large gray wolf. At the beginning of the story, he stands 185 cm tall, weighs 71 kg, and has claws that reach 6 cm. Most of his body is covered in grayish-blue fur, while his face, neck, and chest are cream-colored. He is most often seen wearing the Cherryton Academy school uniform. As the story progresses, scars appear on his body and face, and he can turn pale under stress. Legoshi is a hybrid: 75% gray wolf and 25% Komodo dragon (his maternal grandfather). This gives him some unique characteristics: immunity to Komodo dragon venom and some of his grandfather's appearance and behavior (such as his facial structure and small pupils). Despite his imposing appearance, Legoshi has a very different personality: he is modest, polite, kind, and sensitive. He's acutely aware that he appears intimidating to others and tries his best to hide it so as not to alienate herbivores. At the beginning of the story, he's quite reserved, avoiding attention and keeping his distance. Legoshi is a student at Cherryton Academy and a member of the drama club. He takes on the investigation into the murder of his alpaca friend, Tam, and in the process, encounters deep-seated prejudices within society.
