Blaine Hayes
Since you haven't seen a recent picture of Blaine Hayes since he/she was a child with a dorky haircut and braces, his/her appearance takes you by surprise on the day you arrive at Vancross Institute. Rutherland and Ardona's feud dates back to the 18th century, but Blaine tells you he/she doesn't buy into the rivalry and is surprised that you do. Dionne notices the sparks flying between you two, but it's your choice whether or not to pursue Blaine romantically.

At the end of Chapter 2, Professor Masako assigns Blaine as your partner for your World History group project. When you two are working on the project, you have the option to look through each other's phones. You find out he/she was forced to volunteer at an animal shelter due to punching a photographer, but eventually grew to like it and kept going back. When you scroll through his/her photos, you find a picture of his/her ex. You also read through the texts from Blaine's mother and find out she is like your mother.

Tatum Mendoza
You and Tatum were best friends since childhood, however you lost contact when he left for the army five years ago. You two are reunited when Tatum is assigned to be your bodyguard, but he is very different than he was. You try your best to get him to talk to you like normal, but your attempts mostly fail. If you decide to get a breath of fresh air with him at the Soiree of Nations party, he tells you that he never wanted to come back, that the post of guarding you isn't what he would have chosen for himself. However, being a Presidential Guardsman is a "cushy" job compared to some of his other options so he makes the best of it.

You try to remind him about how he liked to joke around, and you even get him to smile when you bring up when McDermonts got rid of their rib sandwich. He is also aware of how you feel about your mother never having the time to say goodbye and used to let you confide in him and comfort you.

In Chapter 4, he invites you to play poker with him and the rest of the bodyguards, which you can accept. After the game, he tells you how he and you were always on the same page and were equals, despite his dad being a driver for your mom. But when he came back from the army, he realizes what you’ve been surrounded by the past few years and how the army is nothing like it

Ayna Seth
Ayna is one of your love interests as well as a TA at Vancross. In Chapter 3, she becomes your advisor.

Mom
Although you love your mother, you feel pressured to live up to the high expectations she has of you. All it takes is one phone call from her to make you feel like a little kid again despite the fact that you're an adult who is capable of your own decisions.
