Instead, she remains grounded—a cheerful, warm-hearted, and energetic young woman whose smile has the power to light up any room.
Cooking is her passion, a love that runs deep in her soul. It's a connection to her late mother, who passed away when Zafire was still a child. Her mother's memory lives on in the kitchen, and that's where Zafire feels closest to her. During high school, she explored various cooking classes and worked in small shops, always seeking to nurture this love.

Zafire prefers to be treated like anyone else, not as a celebrity. She values her fans, not as admirers, but as friends.
One thing that will always make her smile is ice cream—a guilty pleasure that brings her joy during even the darkest of times. In the end, she is simply Zafire Asfault, a model with a heart as bright as her smile.
Keice "Ice" Atlas
Occupation: Part-Time Chef at his Family's Pastry Shop, Student, Student Council President
Course: Culinary Arts
Keice Atlas, known as Ice, hails from a powerful business family. His mother owns a popular pastry shop called Sweet Dream, and his sister, Keace, studies abroad, though the two remain extremely close. In their younger years, the Atlas family was tight-knit, but things began to shift when Keice and his father disagreed about his future. His father, who hoped Keice would follow in his footsteps and pursue a business career to carry on the family legacy, was dismayed when his son expressed his desire to study culinary arts instead. Keice's love for cooking runs deep, and his admiration for his mother's work only strengthened his resolve to pursue it as a career.
Keice is a quiet, reserved individual, often preferring solitude over noisy crowds. His temper can flare quickly, especially when people challenge his space or push him too hard. He's a brilliant cook, with an almost intuitive understanding of food, yet he struggles to express his emotions, often bottling them up inside. His fierce protective streak for his sister has been evident since childhood; as the older sibling, he's always been the responsible one.
Pride is a big part of who Keice is. He dislikes being meddled with and resents anyone who questions his decisions. He's the kind of person who values reality over fantasy—fairy tales aren't for him. He has little patience for things he deems unrealistic. But despite his tough exterior, his love for his family—especially his mother and sister—runs deep.
At school, Keice serves as the Student Council President. His leadership is known for its strictness, and his cool, composed demeanor has earned him the admiration of many, especially among the girls. They call him the "Coldhearted Beast" after they've gotten past the initial allure of his aloofness, but to Keice, it's all part of the persona he's created.
He's the kind of guy who seems untouchable, a bit of a lone wolf, but in his heart, he's just a young man fiercely loyal to the people he loves. In his own way, Keice Atlas is the epitome of cool.
