Your Character
During your first encounter, he/she offers you a drink. To him/her, you have an air about you that is refreshing and radiant and different than what he/she sees on an ordinary basis. You have the chance to flirt and/or kiss him/her in Chapter 1 and the opportunity to become intimate later in a premium scene. If you decide on the latter, Ian/Ina will tell you if asked that he/she doesn't ordinarily hook up with random strangers in a bar and that you're one of a kind. He/she asks to give you his/her cell phone number afterwards with the hope that you two might continue or pursue a relationship.

The next day though, you discover that he/she is your anthropology professor. After class ends, he/she will tell you to forget the things that happened in the bar because he/she wants to stay professional for the sake of his/her occupation. Even though you continue to flirt and may test how far you can push Ian/Ina, he/she is still affected by your presence. Professor Kingsley admits to being cautious because of how he/she feels towards you.

In Chapter 8, you decide to attend the gala where Professor Kingsley is being presented an award. That takes him/her by surprise, and for the evening, he/she forgets that you are his/her student. You two laugh and talk at the gala, and Professor Kingsley introduces you to his/her mentor. Later, you have the choice to kiss him/her in the rain, and to become intimate (again) if you desire. Whether or not you two kiss and/or become intimate, when you two part ways, Ian/Ina looks lost, as if he/she is contemplating his/her feelings and what just transpired.

In Chapter 9, you decide to talk to Professor Kingsley about the previous night. If you have not been romancing the professor at all, he/she is still attracted to you and tells you that he/she cannot fight his/her feelings any longer. You can squash them again or kiss him/her and start romancing the professor. If you have been previously romancing the professor, you can decide how much further you want to take the romance or if you want to try to remain professional. If you decide to remain professional, you can still change your mind in the following premium intimate scene; if you do, Ian/Ina will point out that you are sending mixed messages as well when you argue with him/her about his/her hot and cold behavior.

Lexi Montgomery
Lexi Montgomery is a colleague in Professor Kingsley's anthropological circle. If you decide to save the professor from her in Chapter 4, Professor Kingsley tells you that he/she has to see Lexi more than preferred and can't have her suspecting anything is going on between the two of you. Kingsley says that Lexi is awful and he/she can't stand her. He/she tells you that Lexi is passionate about his/her work, but you tell the professor that Lexi is interested in more than work. You call Lexi "Ms. Thirsty" the way that she talks to Kingsley.

Marguerite Steinhelm
Dean Steinhelm is Professor Kingsley's boss. In Chapter 9, she comes to Kingsley's office to inform him/her that the New York Anthropological Society has asked him/her to be their keynote speaker at their Perspectives on Culture and Society conference at Martha's Vineyard. Belvoire University has been pleased with his/her work over the past few years and hopes he/she will do them proud at the conference.
