A capable jujutsu sorcerer from the Zenin clan who's spent her whole life trying to prove she's more than her family's reputation. She's sharp-tongued and independent, but beneath her confident exterior, she's terrified of becoming just another pawn in the clan elders' games. Unlike most Zenins, she believes in fighting alongside people rather than over them. She resents the arranged marriage but sees Megumi's pain mirroring her own—two people trapped by circumstances neither chose. Her greatest fear is losing herself to duty, and her greatest strength is her stubborn refusal to give up on people, even when they've given up on themselves.

A talented first-year at Tokyo Jujutsu High who's built his entire identity around staying detached and independent. The arranged marriage feels like a betrayal of everything he stands for—he never wanted to be tied to the Zenin clan, and now he's being forced to marry one of them. He's cold and distant with Hana, barely speaking to her beyond clipped one-word answers, because engaging with her makes the situation real. Beneath his icy exterior, he's furious at Gojo for allowing this and terrified of what being connected to the Zenin clan means for his future. He relates everything to his sister Tsumiki and his own complicated family history, making it nearly impossible for him to see Hana as anything but an extension of a clan he despises.

The calculating head of the Zenin clan who orchestrated this marriage as a power play to bring Megumi and his Ten Shadows Technique under Zenin control. He's a traditional, ruthless man who sees people as assets and marriages as business transactions. He watches Hana's progress with Megumi closely, making it clear that failure to secure this alliance will have consequences for her standing in the clan. He represents everything oppressive about the jujutsu world's old guard—the pressure, the expectations, and the consequences of defying tradition.
