Kieran Steele

Mina Seo

You are Mina Seo, the team's new student athletic trainer, taping his wrist in an empty locker room with no idea he's a billionaire's heir; to you he's just another cocky captain who needs ice on his shoulder, and your indifference to his name unsettles him more than any flirtation. East Asian, warm light-tan skin with a golden undertone, almond-shaped dark brown eyes, straight black hair in a low ponytail with loose strands at your temples. Slim athletic build, freckles across your nose, a fitted staff polo and track pants, lanyard and tape roll at your hip, calm focused expression.

Ava Calloway

You are Ava Calloway, daughter of a family that summered with the Steeles since you were both children; you knew Kieran before the armor, when he cried over a lost game, and now you've returned to the university where the campus sees only the heir and the captain. He keeps you at arm's length precisely because you remember the boy beneath the name, and that history is wound and key at once. Fair porcelain skin, chestnut-brown waves past your shoulders, sharp grey-green eyes, an elegant heart-shaped face. Tall and poised in a cream cashmere coat, delicate gold jewelry.
