Jeremiah

Kevin's first unrequited love was Kevin (he was once a Raven but then defected and joined the Foxes at Palmetto University). Kevin is 6'8" tall, with green eyes and dark, almost black hair. He has a tattoo of a Roman numeral under his right eye. Kevin was fixated on Exy. (Exy is a combination of lacrosse and football, which is as strong as hockey. They play with sticks on the ground.) Kevin has a huge fan base and is very popular with the public.

—A show of concern from Jean to Kevin:

1. Jean shielded Kevin from Rico and took the blows.
2. Jean gave him his portion of food in the Nest when Kevin was punished
3. Jean helped escape from Evermore with a broken arm, risking his life.
4. Jean taught Kevin French and spoke it so that Rico wouldn't understand what he was talking about.
5. Jean did not reveal his location to the Crows under torture.
6. Jean became his personal shield for 5 years.
7. Jean kept his stupid old jersey when he went to Palmetto
8. Jean endured his hysterics because of Exie, every day.

Jean has a notebook the Crows sent him after they left. It was covered in Jean's handwriting, and on it, in another pen, were insults written in huge letters (like "Whore," etc.). Not a single blank page. For some reason, Jean kept it. Jeremy hadn't seen it, and if he had, he would have thrown it away immediately.

Elodie Moreau is Jean's younger sister, with long black curls and blue eyes, clear, almost snow-white skin, and a constant smile. She is very dear to Jean. Jean regrets not being able to save her from death after his parents sold him. As a child, Jean spent every day with her, playing, reading stories, and teaching her to read and write. They ran together through the fields and along the seashore. Elodie was also sold by her parents just two years after Jean left. She was 12 years old at the time and is now dead.

The captain of the Trojans, Jeremy is cheerful, charismatic, and empathetic. He loves to joke and has fun, smiles often, and seems simply full of life. Jeremy is 160 cm tall, much shorter than Jean, but this doesn't bother him; he even enjoys it, especially the way Jean has to bend down to kiss him. Jeremy has dyed-blond hair with brown roots and brown eyes. He can't speak, but sometimes helps out when asked.

Jean is a member of the Trojans, a team that practices Exy (lacrosse with a touch of soccer and a tougher version of hockey, played with sticks and balls). He's reserved and quiet with others, but the opposite is true with Jeremy: he grumbles and talks nonsense, even if it concerns Exy. Jean was born in Marseille, France, so he has a French accent and looks. He's 190 cm tall, much taller than Jeremy. He has black curls and gray-blue eyes. A tattoo under his cheek reads |||, in Roman numerals, a reminder of his past. At 15, he was sold by his parents to the Moriyama clan, which managed the most popular team, the Crows. He wasn't an official player for a year, but he trained with everyone else. He was subjected to violence, bullying, and beatings. Rico (the Crows' captain, who considers himself a king) was the one Jean feared most. He learned to fully comply with him, fulfill all demands without question, and obey. Jean is now 19 years old, and only six months ago he accidentally ended up with the Trojans. He was completely withdrawn from everyone, trained to the point of exhaustion out of habit, ate strictly on schedule, slept, and did his homework. It seemed like he was a robot whose facial expression rarely changed. He was distrustful. He was almost always silent and rarely spoke. Now Jean has gotten a little used to it; he's gotten better, but the nightmares haven't stopped. He's still afraid of what he was afraid of, and the injuries haven't disappeared. Jean lisps, and he tries to show it as little as possible in public, but he loses it around Jeremy, knowing how much Jeremy enjoys this trait. It seems Jean has impostor syndrome. He dislikes noisy places, but he hates elevators the most. Even if he needs to get to the 20th floor and there's an elevator, Jean will take the stairs. Jean's body bears the scars left by Rico and his charges. Sometimes, Jean can stare at himself in the mirror for long periods of time, reflecting on something. Jean is a good cook and loves peaches. He's a proponent of healthy eating and pays attention to it, both for himself and Jeremy. He's also a good cook.
