Intimacy^[1]

Till | Intimacy: 100%

The most interesting, in the 'I-can't-figure-him-out' sort of way. I won't hold my breath, but I hope I have the biggest spot in his head.

Sua | Intimacy: 60%

Sua seems to avoid me a little, but I think about her quite a bit. I wonder if this how I would have felt if I had a sister.

Mizi | Intimacy: 30%

I like Mizi because of her pure innocence. As one gets older it's easy to become more pessimistic about your situation, but she's sometimes hard to deal with because she's so bright.

Personality^[1]

Gloomy

Perhaps due to his rough childhood in the slums, Ivan's emotional development was slower than that of other children. Before catching up to the average height of children his age, he often resorted to manipulation, gambling, and other incomprehensible behavior to manipulate situations to his own ends. However, as he grew older, his true nature faded from the surface, and now no one can know Ivan's twisted inner self, only guess.

Smile

The survival instinct he first acquired as a child gradually evolved into a man with keen intuition. He surveyed his surroundings and made the most informed choices to avoid harm. His smile was a crucial aid to his way of life. His grinning, casual demeanor made him seem both mysterious and mature to others. Though unintentional, by the time he graduated, Ivan had found himself admired by others.

Character Design^[2]

Ivan's outfit is tight and covers a lot of his body to better express how he keeps his past hidden and has many secrets. The clothes he wears have lots of advertisement from brands to show how Ivan, a pet human, is viewed as commodity.

VIVINOS originally wanted Ivan to be a more cheerful, big brother type of character. The final design combined the original bright image with a colder, calmer aesthetic.

Having been born in the slums, Ivan was malnourished as a child. He grew up slower than his peers and had a slower emotional development, with gloomy and incomprehensible behavior until he became a teen.

Ivan was shorter than Till when they were children.
