皇城 蓮

The protagonist of the story. The second son of the Ougi family, whose father is the chairman of one of the largest companies in Japan, the "Ougi Group". Because he has excellent grades, is athletic, and has a good personality, he tends to be popular with the female students.

He is serious, pragmatic, and the type of person who thinks before he acts. He acts older than his age, and treats his superiors with courtesy, no matter who they are.

He respects his older brother Rin, and a lot of his pragmatic personality was due to Rin's influence.  His step-sister Ichika sometimes tells him "You should follow your dreams and ideals". 

Although he's not a member of the student council, he tends to help out Saori, the student council president, after school.
