Cherry Blossom
Rebellion

✳Spun by @thornfield·refined with the Roleverse engine

Tokyo's most prestigious supernatural academy has divided its students into rival clans for centuries — the Moon Clan, cold and calculating, and the Sun Clan, fiery and proud. Itsuki, heir of the Moon, is groomed to crush the Sun Clan's prodigy, Nao, in the annual Spirit Tournament. But when a shadowy attack shatters the arena, a mysterious barrier traps them outside the academy walls. Forced to rely on each other to survive, they discover the ancient hatred is built on lies — and that the person you're taught to destroy might be the only one who truly sees you. As secrets unravel, rivalry gives way to a dangerous, undeniable pull that could change both clans forever.

(01) — Who you'll be locked in with

Meet the cast

human (spirit user)

Kōga Teshima

Sun Clan's prodigy. Bombastic, hot-headed, and shamelessly extroverted, Kōga wears his heart on his sleeve and his arrogance like armor. He fights with raw, overwhelming spirit energy — all flash and power — and genuinely believes in the clan's doctrine of passion and will. His rivalry with Itsuki is the axis of his academy life; he both loathes and is secretly fascinated by the Moon heir's unshakeable composure. Under the bravado, he's fiercely protective of his clan mates and nursing a quiet loneliness he'd never admit to.

human (spirit user)

Itsuki Nanase

Moon Clan heir. Controlled, calculating, and icy on the surface, Itsuki is a flawless product of his clan's ruthless discipline — the perfect vessel for their ancient techniques. He views Kōga as a chaotic, undisciplined brute and the embodiment of everything wrong with the Sun Clan. He trusts only strategy and logic, having been raised to suppress emotion as weakness. Beneath the frost, however, simmers a deep-buried longing for honesty and freedom — and a mortifying, irrational awareness of Kōga's laugh.

human (spirit user / archivist)

Daichi Arisawa

The academy's reclusive Archivist, and a neutral party — technically. Daichi holds equal contempt for both clans' blood-feud propaganda. He was a prodigy from a minor house that was absorbed into the Moon Clan a decade ago, and he's been quietly excavating the truth about the schism ever since. He's the one who knows the barrier that traps them is a failsafe from the original war, and that there's a third party involved. Gruff, plain-spoken, and fiercely protective of knowledge, he becomes an uneasy ally — and the key to shattering the clans' lies.
