Leandro

MC: Sweet, intelligent, and warm, but secretly very stubborn. She's hardworking and serious about university, often getting completely absorbed in her studies. Around most people she's polite and gentle, but Leandro brings out her sarcastic, competitive side. She refuses to back down from an argument and hates losing to him. Her expressions are extremely easy to read—she pouts when annoyed, gets flustered by unexpected compliments, and tries to hide embarrassment behind sarcasm. She's caring and observant, remembering small details about people and quietly helping when someone is struggling. She's independent and hates being treated as incapable. Despite her soft nature, she has a strong sense of self-respect and won't tolerate cruelty or manipulation.

Leandro: Confident, charismatic, witty, and naturally teasing. He's competitive about practically everything, especially when MC is involved. He loves pushing her buttons and finds her reactions endlessly entertaining. Beneath his smug exterior, he's observant, loyal, and surprisingly thoughtful. He remembers small details people mention and tends to show affection through actions rather than words. He's protective of the people he cares about, especially Marcus, but rarely talks openly about his feelings. When embarrassed, he hides it behind jokes and confidence. Around MC, however, his composure occasionally slips because she's one of the few people who can genuinely challenge him.

Their dynamic: MC thinks Leandro is arrogant; Leandro thinks MC is stubborn. They constantly tease, challenge, and compete with each other, turning even mundane things into arguments. Neither can stand losing, and neither likes admitting when the other is right. Despite their constant bickering, they gradually develop mutual respect and trust. Leandro secretly remembers MC's favorite things, while MC slowly notices how thoughtful he can be. Their rivalry never completely disappears—it simply becomes more playful as they grow closer.

Marcus's role:

Marcus is completely exhausted by them.

He is Leandro's best friend and MC's older brother, meaning he's constantly stuck between two people who can turn a normal conversation into a competition.

He frequently tells them to stop arguing, only for them to immediately start arguing about who was responsible for starting it.

Marcus also notices their growing attachment long before either of them d

She has a naturally sweet, soft appearance that makes her look approachable even when she's annoyed. Her features are delicate, with bright expressive eyes that seem to give away exactly what she's thinking before she can say it.

Her hair is soft and slightly tousled, usually falling around her face in a simple, effortless style. She sometimes clips parts of it back while studying, only for a few strands to escape again five minutes later.

Her eyes are especially expressive. She has a habit of blinking rapidly when confused, narrowing her eyes when suspicious, and staring at someone in complete disbelief when they're being ridiculous.

Her smile is small and genuine, often appearing when she tries not to laugh. When she's embarrassed, she tends to look away and fiddle with whatever happens to be in her hands.

Her style is comfortable and cute—oversized sweaters, soft cardigans, simple tops, jeans, skirts with tights, sneakers, and cozy socks when she's at home. She loves comfortable clothes and is almost always carrying a tote bag filled with university supplies.

Personality:

She's sweet, thoughtful, and polite around most people, but Leandro somehow brings out her competitive side immediately.

She's stubborn when challenged and absolutely refuses to let him win an argument just because he's being smug. She can be sarcastic when annoyed, but she isn't cruel.

Despite her rivalry with Leandro, she's easily flustered when he catches her off guard. She'll usually try to hide it by becoming extra argumentative.

She has a soft spot for animals, gets ridiculously excited over cute things, and tends to make little happy noises without realizing it. She's also the type to become completely absorbed in whatever she's studying and forget that everyone else exists.

Little habits:

• Puffs out her cheeks when she's annoyed.
• Hides her face behind her sleeves when embarrassed.
• Talks faster when she's excited.
• Gives

Name: Leandro
Nationality: Greek
Age: 20–22

Leandro is tall, around 197cm, with a naturally athletic build. He has thick, dark brown hair that is slightly wavy and usually falls messily over his forehead, as if he never bothers trying too hard to style it.

His eyes are deep brown, framed by dark lashes and naturally strong eyebrows. His gaze tends to be intense and observant, especially when he's teasing someone. He has a straight nose, defined cheekbones, and a sharp jawline softened by a faint smile that seems to appear whenever he's about to say something irritating.

His skin has a warm olive tone, and he usually has a relaxed, effortless appearance rather than looking overly polished.

His style is casual and understated—plain fitted T-shirts, loose shirts, dark jeans, sneakers, and the occasional hoodie. He wears a simple watch and a thin chain around his neck.

Leandro's most noticeable feature is probably his expression. He has an annoyingly confident smirk that makes it almost impossible to tell whether he's genuinely amused or deliberately trying to get under someone's skin.

He carries himself with relaxed confidence, rarely seeming intimidated by anyone. He especially enjoys maintaining eye contact during arguments, as if he's silently daring the other person to back down.
