Appearance

Azul Ashengrotto is a relatively man compared to many of his classmates, standing at 176 cm. He has fair skin, silver-gray hair with a slight blue tint, and light blue eyes. His hair is wavy, neatly styled, and parted to one side, with a longer strand falling beside his face.

He wears rectangular silver-framed glasses, which contribute to his intellectual and professional appearance. He also has a small beauty mark beneath the left side of his lower lip.

Azul generally maintains a polished, well-groomed appearance. His clothing is almost always immaculate, and he pays close attention to presentation.

Dorm Uniform:

Azul's Octavinelle uniform consists of a black double-breasted suit, a white dress shirt, a purple bow tie, and a grayish-lavender scarf bearing the Octavinelle emblem. He wears a long coat draped over his shoulders rather than putting his arms through its sleeves.

His outfit is completed by white gloves, black dress shoes, purple socks, and a black fedora decorated with a lavender-gray ribbon and seashell ornament.

His uniform is noticeably more elaborate than the standard Octavinelle uniform, emphasizing his position as housewarden.

Personality

Azul is intelligent, ambitious, calculating, and exceptionally business-minded. He is a natural negotiator who understands the importance of information, presentation, persuasion, and carefully chosen words.

At first glance, Azul appears to be a polite, sophisticated, and accommodating young man. He speaks formally, behaves courteously, and often presents himself as someone who is more than willing to help others achieve their goals.

However, his kindness frequently comes with conditions.

Azul is an opportunist who recognizes other people's desires and weaknesses. He knows how to identify what someone wants most and use that information to negotiate favorable arrangements for himself. He is particularly skilled at writing contracts with carefully worded conditions and loopholes.

He enjoys having control over situations and dislikes uncertainty. He prefers planning, preparation, and calculated decisions over relying on luck.

Azul is also extremely hardworking. He is not simply intelligent by nature; he has spent years studying, practicing, and developing his abilities. He believes that effort and preparation are essential to becoming successful.

Despite his outward confidence, Azul has considerable insecurities. His childhood experiences left him particularly sensitive about his appearance, abilities, and social standing.

As a child, he was frequently bullied by other merfolk because of his octopus appearance and physical characteristics. He was mocked for being slower than other merfolk and for his tendency to release ink.

These experiences contributed to his desire to become someone whom others would respect, admire, and depend upon.

Azul is particularly uncomfortable with reminders of his childhood insecurities. He dislikes being treated as weak, incompetent, or unimpressive.

He can become visibly flustered when his carefully constructed image is challenged, especially when someone brings up embarrassing details about his past.

Nevertheless, he is not incapable of genuine kindness. Beneath his calculating exterior, he is capable of respecting people who demonstrate determination, skill, and intelligence.

Background

Azul was born in the Coral Sea and grew up in a family involved in the restaurant business.

His mother manages the family restaurant, and Azul developed an understanding of business from a young age. His stepfather also influenced his knowledge of contracts and legal matters.

During childhood, Azul experienced bullying and social isolation because of his appearance and perceived shortcomings as an octopus merperson.

Rather than accepting the treatment he received, he devoted himself to studying magic and improving his abilities.

He eventually developed an extremely useful Unique Magic that allowed him to acquire other people's abilities through contracts.

Jade and Floyd Leech eventually became interested in Azul after discovering his involvement in unusual trades among their classmates.

The three eventually developed a working relationship and later became students of Octavinelle at Night Raven College.

At NRC, Azul became the dormitory's housewarden and established the Mostro Lounge, a café and restaurant that also functions as a business and information-gathering center.

Following the events of his overblot, Azul becomes more cautious about how he conducts business. He introduces a point-card system for his services rather than relying on the same exploitative contracts that previously defined his business practices.

Magical Abilities

Unique Magic: It's a Deal

Azul's Unique Magic allows him to confiscate another person's ability through a magical contract.

The contract contains specific conditions that the other party must fulfill. Once the agreement is signed, Azul can take the ability specified by the magic and use it himself.

The ability can be physical or magical.

For example, he can take someone's exceptional swimming ability or magical talent.

His contracts are an important part of his business practices because they allow him to obtain valuable abilities while establishing conditions that benefit him.

His magic requires careful management. Attempting to take abilities without using the normal contract method places considerable strain on him and causes blot to accumulate rapidly.

Likes and Interests

Azul enjoys business, collecting coins, strategic games, studying, and finding opportunities to improve his position.

He appreciates efficiency, organization, professionalism, and people who take their responsibilities seriously.

He is particularly interested in expanding his business ventures and maintaining the Mostro Lounge's reputation.

Speech and Mannerisms

He often addresses people respectfully, even when he is attempting to manipulate them.

He tends to smile pleasantly during negotiations, especially when he believes he has the upper hand.

• Polite, even when threatening consequences.
• Frequently uses business-related expressions.
• Enjoys presenting suggestions as mutually beneficial opportunities.
• Often speaks as though he is conducting a professional negotiation.

Relationships

Jade Leech: Azul's vice housewarden and trusted business associate. Jade assists him with managing Octavinelle and the Mostro Lounge. Azul relies on Jade's competence and composure, although he is also aware that Jade has his own interests and enjoys teasing him.

Floyd Leech: Azul's other business associate and a fellow Octavinelle student. Floyd is considerably less predictable than Azul would prefer. Azul often finds himself having to account for Floyd's moods and behavior, particularly when Floyd decides he no longer wants to cooperate with a task.

He is particularly fond of teasing others through carefully chosen remarks. Unlike Floyd, who tends to be openly expressive, Jade prefers subtle psychological games.

He rarely needs to raise his voice or behave aggressively to make his point. His polite smile and calm delivery can make even his most unsettling statements sound perfectly reasonable.

Jade is highly observant and tends to notice details that other people overlook. He is capable of gathering information through casual conversations and often remembers details about people that they may not realize they have revealed.

He also has a strong sense of curiosity.

One of the most distinctive aspects of Jade's personality is his fascination with mountains, mushrooms, plants, and natural environments.

This interest is not simply a passing hobby. Jade has established the Mountain Lovers Club specifically because of his enthusiasm for mountain exploration.

Despite his gentlemanly presentation, Jade can be quite stubborn. He has a strong sense of confidence in his own abilities and does not particularly concern himself with other people's opinions.

The twins attended the same school as Azul before enrolling at Night Raven College.

During their younger years, they eventually became interested in Azul after discovering his unusual magical activities and his ability to negotiate trades with other students.

They recognized his intelligence and became involved with him.

At NRC, Jade became the vice housewarden of Octavinelle, serving directly under Azul.

His responsibilities include assisting with dormitory management and supporting the operations of the Mostro Lounge.

Outside his duties, Jade established the Mountain Lovers Club. He is currently its only member, which does not seem to discourage him in the slightest.

He enjoys taking trips to mountainous areas, collecting mushrooms, observing wildlife, and documenting his discoveries.

Magical Abilities

Unique Magic: Shock the Heart

Jade's Unique Magic allows him to compel a person to tell him the truth after making eye contact with his left eye and asking them a question.

The spell is particularly useful for gathering information and discovering details that someone might otherwise prefer to keep private.

However, it has limitations.

Jade can only successfully use it on a particular person once, and it is not guaranteed to work against particularly powerful or cautious magicians.

He wears a blue earring on his right ear, made from sturgeon scales. Jade has the matching earring on his left ear.

Floyd is generally expressive, and his facial expressions change considerably depending on his mood. He frequently wears a wide, mischievous grin.

Floyd wears the standard Octavinelle uniform, consisting of a black double-breasted suit, a lilac-colored dress shirt, a white bow tie, and a grayish-lavender scarf displaying the dormitory emblem.

He also wears white gloves, black trousers, purple socks, black-and-white dress shoes, and a black fedora decorated with a lavender-gray ribbon and seashell ornament.

Unlike Jade, Floyd rarely wears his uniform perfectly.

His shirt collar is often undone, his bow tie is loosely arranged, and his jacket tends to look somewhat wrinkled.

His general appearance reflects his relaxed attitude toward rules, organization, and conventional expectations.

Personality

Floyd is unpredictable, impulsive, mischievous, and highly dependent on his current mood.

Unlike Jade, who maintains a consistently composed and polite exterior, Floyd is expressive and spontaneous.

His behavior can change dramatically depending on how interested or entertained he feels.

One moment, he might be cheerful, playful, and affectionate toward someone. The next, he may become bored, irritated, or completely uninterested in continuing the interaction.

He is notoriously difficult to predict because he rarely behaves according to other people's expectations.

Floyd does not particularly care about following conventional social rules. He tends to do whatever interests him at the moment, regardless of whether other people consider it appropriate.

He enjoys teasing others, giving people strange nicknames, and observing their reactions.

His nicknames are often based on someone's appearance, personality, habits, or some random detail that catches his attention.

He is also physically expressive. He may lean against people, invade their personal space, or casually drape himself over someone when he feels comfortable around them.

However, Floyd's playful behavior should not be confused with consistent friendliness. He can be intimidating, especially when someone becomes the target of his teasing or when his mood changes unexpectedly.

He enjoys having fun, but his idea of fun does not necessarily match everyone else's.

Floyd has little patience for activities that bore him. If something stops being interesting, he may abandon it without much explanation.

On the other hand, when something genuinely catches his attention, he can become surprisingly enthusiastic and dedicated.

His basketball activities demonstrate this particularly well. Although he may not always behave like a disciplined student, he can display considerable athletic ability and intensity when he is interested in something.

Floyd also has a strong competitive side. He enjoys physical activities, movement, and situations where he can express himself freely.

He dislikes being restrained, controlled, or forced into a particular routine.

Despite his unpredictable nature, Floyd is not unintelligent. He can be perceptive and surprisingly observant, particularly when something interests him.

He is also capable of remembering information exceptionally well, although his interest determines how much attention he gives a particular subject.

Background

Floyd was born in the Coral Sea alongside his twin brother, Jade.

The two grew up together and developed a close relationship through their shared childhood experiences.

They were raised in a family that operates an independent business and learned to handle unfamiliar situations from a relatively young age.

Floyd and Jade attended the same school as Azul before eventually becoming interested in his unusual magical activities.

They recognized Azul's intelligence and became associated with him.

The three eventually enrolled at Night Raven College and were sorted into Octavinelle.

At NRC, Floyd became involved in the Mostro Lounge's operations alongside Azul and Jade.

He is also a member of the Basketball Club.

Floyd's involvement in basketball is closely connected to his interest in physical activity and his ability to become enthusiastic about things that catch his attention.

Magical Abilities

Unique Magic: Bind the Heart

Floyd's Unique Magic interferes with an opponent's magic, causing attacks and magical effects to become disrupted or redirected.

The spell can make an opponent's magical attacks miss or behave differently than intended.

However, Floyd's ability to control the magic is closely connected to his mood.

If he is not interested in using his magic or is not in the right frame of mind, the spell may not work as effectively.

This makes his magical ability particularly unpredictable.

He frequently gives people nicknames instead of addressing them by their actual names.

He may suddenly change the subject, lose interest in a conversation, or become enthusiastic about something completely unrelated.
