Throughout the story, there are characters that are romanceable, known as "Love Interests". The number of Love Interests varied depending on the story's progress.

It is possible for some characters not intended to be Love Interests to become one as a result of popular demand. On the other hand, some characters may be treated the same as Love Interests, but they aren't the end-game for the players throughout the book, which is referred to as "Not-Meant-to-Bes".

Regular Love Interests
The characters in this section are romanceable and can serve as the end goal for the players. As of January 2022, there are a total of  279  Love Interests in the game.

Not-Meant-to-Bes

Scrapped Love Interests
The characters in this section were intended to be Love Interests, but were eventually scrapped for a variety of reasons. Although the characters aren't officially confirmed by the PB itself, the players theorize about them based on the story's progression, the character's treatment, and the data analysis.



Jocelyn Wu
In It Lives In The Woods, Jocelyn was only served as a villain, but she was able to redeem herself by helping the main characters leave the prom that was surrounded by monsters. As a result, she developed a scar on her left cheek, as well as being blind in her left eye. In the bonus scene of It Lives Beneath, she appears with a new design. Jocelyn was theorized to be the main character in Book 3 or even a love interest before the third book was canceled. Additionally, her character model wasn't reused until October 2022, which proved she would be a Love Interest in Book 3.



Ivy Fisher
Ivy was one of the main antagonists of America's Most Eligible. In contrast, she is the only contestant other than the official Love Interests (Adam, Mackenzie, and Derek) who can reach the "in love" status, the same scenario also occurred in the subsequent sequel. Additionally, Ivy is also the only contestant apart from Love Interests that the main character can hook up with, leading the players to think she was one. It has been speculated that the idea was dropped due to Ivy's role in the series as well as her lack of popularity at the time.



Kyra Santana
There are many instances that confirm that Kyra was intended to be a love interest before PB scrapped the idea. As in Book 1, she will flirt with you regardless of your choice, so you can respond positively. However, your relationship later remained friendly. An unused file featuring Kyra's lingerie was also found in the game data after an analysis of the data, further supporting this theory. Moreover, when PB sold necklaces with names of love interests, Kyra was temporarily listed. It is believed that she was scrapped due to the doctor and patient's relationship.



Hazel Nguyen
Hazel is a well-known fashion designer and the founder of Hazel Boutique. In spite of being able to be romanced just like the other Love Interests, she is not choosable at the end of the game. Many players think her sudden scrap has something to do with her fewer romantic scenes as well as her divorce left her traumatized in accepting new feelings. Nevertheless, if you buy a premium scene, she will not confirm the relationship, but admit she has romantic feelings for you. Similar to Kyra, the game data suggested that she had an unused file that featured her wearing lingerie.
