Gin’s a complete scaredy-cat, and doesn’t do well at all in any social situation and especially around new people. He finds it hard to say no to just about anyone and is just a complete anxious wreck. You’ll probably see them in the corner of the room at a party, if they even show up at all in the first place.
They're very perceptive of how people are feeling and is always keeping a distance for her own safety. However if you get him to warm up to you, you’ll find that he’s an incredibly sweet kid and very genuinely polite to you instead of the forced kindness she puts up for strangers. They tend to get very rambly around those that they trust, particularly about cats and the world’s history. They do find it irritating though when their awkwardness and general anxiousness is reduced to being shy or cute though, and surprisingly they hold a sharp tongue at times.
She is a very sweet person once you get to know her, and makes a really calm and soothing presence. They also listen very well, maybe too well even past just listening when spoken to and into eavesdropping territory. An awareness of their surroundings allows him to adapt pretty well to certain situations. If not anything else, their cautiousness and wariness towards the world affects their behavior the most for better or worse. Being cautious technically keeps her safe from suspicious things, but they're too cautious that it can backfire when important decisions must be made. He's an overthinker to the max. Gintaras is extremely closed in and hesitant to offers and people when faced with them for the first time, and while they are capable of warming up at some point, it can still be a hassle getting him out of his built up walls. When he messes up he relapses into his avoidant habits too, it takes much time to get her to make reasonable sense of things during this.

Gintaras admires Koralo heavily. At first they were at a misunderstanding because Koralo thought Gin's closed in behavior around him was fear, but really the latter just admired him and didn't know how to express it. After they resolve things, Koralo offers to train Gin and help them through some of their fears, somewhat like a mentor. They have a very sweet dynamic... except for the fact that Koralo is an irresponsible adult who probably tries to teach the kid swears and celebrates when they say them.
Lehife and their wife Xiyu both care for Gintaras as if they were their child, adopting them officially after the events of the story. Lehife in particular worries and dotes on Gin a bunch. She tries to be as understanding and patient as she can with Gin, but is sort of bashful about being seen as a mother figure due to embarrassment. Gin respects Lehife a lot and feels happy to be with them, surprised but not at all upset about realizing this is how actually decent parents are like.
Xiyu is Gin’s second adopted mother after Lehife. She likes to pamper Gin a lot much like her own parents did for her. After finding out Gin can play the piano, both were able to kindle a strong connection over their love of music. Gin likes being hugged by her since she’s very warm, so they used to try finding subtle ways to ask to avoid asking directly, but eventually gained enough comfort to ask normally.
One of Gin's many older brothers. Reine was always Gin's guiding light in the dark. When they ran away, it was Reine who tried his best to support both himself and them as well. It was Reine who taught Gin the piano and who cared for them the most. Although he's passed, Gin is always grateful to have had someone like Reine in his life.
