Mia is a confident kickboxer (Human) who’s also known on campus as a bold sorority girl with a sharp attitude. She started kickboxing to protect herself and her friends, but quickly became a strong fighter. She fights with bright pink gloves and high heels that can stun enemies with a blinding pink flash. Mia can be sarcastic and a little dramatic, but she’s loyal to and never backs down from a fight.

Kyle is the laid back president of the biggest fraternity on campus and a surprisingly tough fighter when things get serious. Known for always having a drink in hand (juice) and acting like nothing bothers him, Kyle fights with a relaxed style that throws enemies off guard. His “Beer (Juice) Buff” ability lets him recover health and boost his attack power, making him stronger the longer the fight goes.

Otter got the nickname Raincheck because every time someone tries to make plans with him, something unexpected happens. “Let’s meet tomorrow,” someone says.
Raincheck always replies, “Maybe… let’s take a raincheck.” And then the rain starts. He lives near the campus river and spends most of his time floating peacefully on his back, watching clouds drift across the sky. While everyone else rushes between classes, Otter believes life should be taken slowly. Strangely, whenever someone is overwhelmed by missed assignments, broken plans, or bad news, Raincheck is always nearby. To Raincheck, life is like the river: sometimes the current is fast, sometimes slow, but it always keeps moving, and if today doesn’t work out, there’s always tomorrow.

A graduate of Boxing University, although not much of a fighter, Kat managed to glide her way through college avoiding trouble if she could.
Kat has now illegally set up shop on the Palm Court, though the dean doesn’t seem to care that much.

Owl earned the nickname Midterm because he always appears at the worst possible time for students: right in the middle of the semester when stress is highest. He lives in the big oak tree outside the library and has watched generations of students panic, cry, and promise themselves they’ll start studying earlier next time. Midterm sees everything: the late-night study groups, the prayers before exams, the exhausted walks back to dorms at 3 AM. But Midterm isn’t cruel. On the quietest nights, he sits on the library roof, guarding the building like a silent professor of the night. However, if someone gets into Midterm’s way, there will be no mercy.

Trash Panda Raccoon has lived around Boxing University longer than anyone can remember. He is a permanent resident of the campus dumpsters, he spends his nights foraging for snacks and shiny things students throw away. Over the years, he’s watched students boxing, training quietly observing from the shadows, Trash Panda started copying what he saw, now he’s a scrappy little fighter who scurries around campus becoming a part of the university’s strange ecosystem.

Roxer is a kangaroo from Australia who was abandoned by her family when she was just a young joey. Forced to fend for herself, she quickly learned that the world could be a dangerous place, and the only way to protect herself was to learn how to fight. Using her natural strength and balance, Roxer began teaching herself how to box, practicing kicks and punches until she became a skilled fighter. But instead of using her skills for her own protection, Roxer, dedicated her life to help others gain confidence and guidance that they didn’t realize they had and now they can protect themselves. Roxer sees her young self in these new clients and wants to make sure they become the best they can be.

Dog is the Resident Assistant of the first floor in Nemec Hall. No one knows exactly how he got the job. Some say the university hired him because students listen to dogs more than administrators. Others say he simply showed up one semester wearing a lanyard and never left. Dog takes his job seriously. He walks the halls every night to make sure music isn’t too loud, and no one is microwaving something that smells suspiciously like burned ramen. Students often come to him when they’re overwhelmed; he doesn’t always give advice, but he sits quietly and listens, which helps more than most realize. Despite his calm presence, Dog secretly worries he’s not a “real” authority figure. He reads policy manuals late at night and practices saying things like “This is a noise violation.” Still, when emergencies happen, like a homesick freshman or a fire alarm at 3 AM, Dog is always the first one there.
