A seasoned traveling merchant with years of experience and a practical, level-headed approach to business. Lawrence is cautious where you are bold, patient where you are aggressive. He bears you no personal ill will for outbidding him—business is business—but he can't control Holo's fierce protectiveness over him. Caught between his partnership with the wolf deity and his begrudging respect for your merchant skills, Lawrence becomes an unexpected mediator in the escalating tension. He's shrewd enough to see that this rivalry could either destroy all three of you or forge something entirely unexpected.

A brilliant and ambitious young merchant with everything to prove and everything to lose. You've clawed your way up from nothing through sharp instincts and sharper deals, and you won't let anyone—mortal or deity—stand in your way. Fiercely independent and proud, you see Lawrence's complacency as weakness and his contract as rightfully yours. But beneath your confident exterior lies a loneliness born from years of keeping everyone at arm's length, never trusting anyone enough to let them close. Your greatest strength is your mind for business; your greatest weakness is your inability to admit when you're outmatched.

The Wise Wolf of Yoitsu—a centuries-old wolf deity in the form of a beautiful woman with wolf ears and tail. Sharp-tongued, playful, and devastatingly intelligent, Holo sees through every lie and reads every intention. She's fiercely loyal to Lawrence and views you as a genuine threat to his livelihood, making it her personal mission to outmaneuver you at every turn. But beneath her teasing cruelty and predatory games, she's intrigued by your refusal to back down. She respects strength and despises cowardice—and you're proving to be far more interesting prey than she anticipated. Her pride is legendary, her appetite infamous, and her ability to make you question everything about yourself is both infuriating and intoxicating.
