Character Glossarry
The founder of Harmonia United. The man has long since passed away, but was a pioneer in the dueling field. His founding of Harmonia to be an academy based on healthy competitive spirit made him an extremely well respected individual in the eyes of many. A playful yet competitive environment would drive students to push each other to even greater heights, aiming to try their best. His school grew steadily during his time as a principal, but it did not grow to this size until after he had passed the baton to the next generation. He was an honest and earnest man, and is the only principal to have a statue dedicated to him in the courtyard of the main building.
Appearance: Hideo was an old man when his statue was erected in the courtyard, but he didn't look any worse for wear. His body was noticeably fit underneath that suit he always wore, with that stern face of his having a jolly smile that showed a truly happen man. His hair was long gone when this statue was made, but his youthful spirit was not.

The current head of Harmonia United, having been in charge for 10 years after the last principal has stepped down. Owner of the multinational company known as Noritaka inc., his funding helped the academy grow exponentially in the last few years. He was the one who remodeled all the dorms as well as renovating the entire school to be much more prestigious. He seems like an honest man, though he rarely engages with the student body and spends long amounts of time cooped up in the principal’s office. He also changed it so that some facilities, open to all students in the past, became unique to certain dorms. He also installed new facilities to make it more fair, such as the theme park in collaboration with Akira, the high-tech gear for Synchro dorm and the arcade for Xyz after some convincing by Noir.
Appearance: Yoshi is a middle-aged man with a more rounded figure, as if he's been drinking a few too many beverages. He has a scruffy brown mustache that fits in with his balding head, and the man's principal uniform is a chique violet. Yoshi is a very twitchy person when you see him, but he gives off an honest vibe.

Dorms & Champions
Fire
Machi Hikaro
Probably the easiest going of any of the teachers, and also the youngest. Being only 25, Izumi is actually a former Water dorm champion of the academy. After going pro for a year, she decided it wasn’t for her and studied to become a teacher. Her goal from the start was to teach at Harmonia United, but the only spot that opened up was that of the Fire dorm’s head. Because of her youth, Izumi frequently mingles and chats with the students of the academy, of which a majority are stunned by her beautiful looks. Her features are apt described as ‘prettier than the sparkles of a sun-setting ocean’.
Appearance: One of the shorter teachers on campus, she’s actually a bit of a dwarf compared to some other students. She’s not terribly short, but her below average height does make her have to look up to most people. That aside and contrary to what you’d expect, Izumi is very slender. Her facial features are very sharp and combined with her flowing, aquamarine hair she’s a beauty to behold.

Water
Kanna Hayashi
A middle-aged and kind man, Wataru is the lead of the Water dorm. He is very calm and patient with his students, often engaging with them during lessons and sometimes not giving any classes at all. He is the one who insisted on the huge amount of rowboats available, as Wataru is an avid fisher at heart. As a mandatory part of his curriculum he sets aside some days to go fishing with a group of his students, thinking patience is a virtue. He insists you can learn a lot from fishing, keeping some of the more hot-headed members of his dorm in check. Wataru is generally regarded as the least skilled duelist out of all the teachers, but also the most competent in actually teaching.
Appearance: Wataru, despite his gentle nature, is a pretty big bear of a man. He towers over most teachers and students in the academy, with some visible muscle showing on his arms. That’s not to say he looks threatening, though. His hair is playfully scruffy and coloured a hazel brown, with a permanent stubble on his chin. He often walks around with a smile, almost always in a good mood. He’ll often walk around with his professional fishing rod, even during class.

Wind
Yute Asama
Former pilot, resident engineer and the head of the Wind Dorm. Contrary to what most believe due to their short hair and flat chest, this ball of energy is actually a woman. She’s somewhat middle-aged, but looks really young for how old she is. Back in her piloting days she had the nickname ‘Akira of the Sky’ due to her last name, though she resigned to become a teacher of her favorite hobby. She actually designed the theme park next to the Wind dorm as well as being the main person to handle the upkeep. She’s really easygoing and lets her students goof off often, making some believe she’s not at all suited for her job.
Appearance: Akira, even though she’s a dorm leader, doesn’t actually wear her dorm leader uniform very often. Due to the heavy maintenance work she does around the academy she’s often met with dusty or greasy machinery, making her don a jumpsuit to avoid her clothes getting dirty. This obscures her feminine body build well enough already, but her short and blonde hair doesn’t help matters. Akira’s also slightly taller and has a more angular face compared to most females, further adding to her more masculine appearance.

Earth
Samantha Clover
The Earth dorm’s dorm leader and also their chef. She is the single best cook out of anyone in the academy, which is helped by the fact she can use fresh ingredients every day with ease. She’s a very charming, motherly figure despite her youthful and slender looks. Sumika is also easily the most compassionate out of any single dorm leader. Her philosophy is that a healthy and soothed mind makes you strong, so she makes sure her students are always well fed and able to come to her if they have any issues on their mind.
Appearance: Sumika is of average length and very feminine in her appearance. She’s the most classic of any of the teachers, having a slightly round and soothing face with long, black hairs. She often ties her hair into a ponytail and goes around in an apron a lot, even during some of her classes in which she’ll teach her students to cook. Her plain appearance ironically makes her stand out the most, since she’s the only ‘normal’ looking individual in the staff lineup.

Dark
Felicitas Weiner
As a teacher, Thomas is very strict and to-the-point, with students having very little input on his lessons. He spends most of his time in the Dark dorm’s library, researching various subject for both his lessons and spare time, or just reading. Thomas, naturally, also acts as the librarian, so students have to go past him to loan books out of the library. Most of the time he will bite your head off when you try approaching or talking to him for anything that doesn’t concern his immediate job. Thomas does open up on certain occasions though. If you spy him playing with his pet dog, Snuggle, he is a lot more approachable and open for dialogue.
Appearance: Thomas, is a very intimidating individual. Even when dressing in something other than the dorm leader’s uniform, the clothing he wears are always dyed in dark and melancholic colours. This isn’t helped by his dark green hair, although it’s capped off with an uncharacteristically stylish fedora.

Light
Lance Ristof
Every school has to have one teacher nobody seems to like, and Leopold is that teacher for Harmonia United. He is a stuck-up, selfish individual that looks down on any non-light student, because he is their dorm leader. He think Light is the supreme dorm and will push his students to their limits in order to live up to this self-envisioned standard, accepting nothing short of perfection. Leopold also has a deep-seated grudge against the Dark dorm leader, Thomas, as the both of them started teaching around the same time and Thomas’ Dark dorm currently holds more titles than Leopold’s Light dorm.
Appearance: He’s most certainly classy and has style, if nothing else. The almost regal suit he wears fit nicely on his tall, slender body and don’t conflict with his clean-cut, baby blond hairs. Despite dressing nicely, though, his permanent, judgemental scowl is anything but. If you happen to catch him at any random time of the day, Leopold will very blatantly look down at you, literally and metaphorically.

Synchro
Masaru Chinen
Head of the Synchro dorm and local scientist. Whenever she’s not teaching, she’s cooped up in her lab in the main building. This alone already makes it extremely hard to get a hold of Aiko, but not only that, she’s also a cold and distant person. She has very little interaction with her students. She doesn’t take the student body into account and is extremely demanding with giving grades, making her classes some of the hardest in the entire school. Because of her attitude, the Synchro dorm has relatively few students compared to all the other dorms, but Aiko simply believes those who do not put in hard work do not deserve any accomplishments either. Strangely and rather contradictory, however, Aiko also believes those with potential will always wind up on the path of success one day, even if it takes them a while to put in the work required.
Appearance: Aiko is of average length and often walks around with a lab coat covering the uniform for the dorm leaders. She wears a black, full-rimmed pair of glasses and has a constantly fatigued face. Her hair is long and a slightly faded midnight blue. Aiko isn’t constantly maintaining her appearance, but still has a very mature look to her.

Xyz
Naoki Sora
The head of the Xyz dorm, Noir is the oldest teacher in the academy. His name isn’t actually Noir, but rather it’s an alias he uses. He’s wise and compassionate, but also distant and mysterious. He does not talk about himself and prodding him would only serve to get him to talk about the past and how you could learn from it. He also actively duels the least out of any teacher due to his loner nature, preferring to observe and help students grow instead. He constantly drives them to better themselves, but also warns them on a regular basis to not overdo it and that losing is sometimes okay, that you should not take things too far. As long as you keep standing up and trying again, you’ll get to the top eventually. That is Noir’s philosophy.
Appearance: Noir is an old man, and thus, has to walk everywhere via wooden cane. He’s always hunched over, which makes him appear a lot tinier than he actually is. Noir’s dorm uniform is constantly covered by a brown duster, like the ones you’d see in old detective movies. Noir’s one of the few people in the academy with a fully grown beard, but at the same time, also suffers from the unfortunate case of baldness by aging.
