I just remembered I didn’t post this over here yet!

Hello! ✨

This is actually my first Tears of Themis post, so please be kind with me. 😭💖

I recently finished writing some relationship headcanons for the main cast, focusing on both the good and difficult parts of dating them while trying to stay reasonably close to their canon personalities, official profiles, and character development.

This isn't meant to be a perfect analysis or the only interpretation—just my personal take on how they might be as partners based on what we've seen in-game.

Characters Included:

⚖️ Artem Wing

🧪 Luke Pearce

🎭 Vyn Richter

🚀 Marius von Hagen

🌹 Rosa (MC)

Warnings: Headcanons, Canon-compliant interpretation (or at least my attempt 😭), Discussion of relationship flaws and strengths, Mild spoilers for character personalities/backstories, Mentions of insecurity, workaholism, emotional baggage, grief, and relationship struggles, Very long post, Lots of affection because I adore these idiots.

If you're looking for purely fluffy content, there are plenty of sweet moments here, but I also wanted to acknowledge the parts that could realistically make a relationship difficult.

Anyway, thank you for reading! 💖

Now let's talk about why dating NXX members would be both a blessing and a challenge.

⚖️ Artem Wing

The Vibe: The top attorney who seems calm, composed, and almost unshakeable on the surface—but is secretly a little awkward, earnest, and utterly devoted once he lets his guard down.

✨ The Ups

- Your Rock & Safe Haven: Artem takes commitment very seriously. As your boyfriend, he is incredibly reliable—if he says he’ll be there, he will be, no matter how busy he is. He makes you feel safe, respected, and valued. He always listens carefully to your thoughts, never dismisses your feelings, and treats you as his equal in every way.

- Thoughtful & Attentive (In Quiet Ways): He may not be overly flashy, but he notices everything. He remembers your coffee order, the way you like your desk organized, when you have important meetings, and even small things you mentioned weeks ago. He’ll leave little notes of encouragement in your bag, bring you your favorite snack when you’re working late, or adjust the temperature just right when you’re in his office.

- Gentle & Respectful Romance: He’s the definition of a gentleman. He opens doors, walks on the traffic side of the street, and always asks for your comfort first. His love language is acts of service and quality time—he loves spending quiet evenings with you, whether it’s reading together, cooking a simple meal, or taking a slow walk after dinner. When he does express affection, it’s sincere and meaningful; his “I love you” is always steady and reassuring.

- Your Biggest Advocate: He believes wholeheartedly in your abilities. Whether you’re facing a tough case or feeling unsure of yourself, Artem is always there to remind you of how capable and wonderful you are. He’s not afraid to stand by your side or defend you, and he feels genuine pride whenever you succeed.

⚠️ The Downs

- Workaholic Tendencies: As a senior attorney, he carries a heavy workload and a strong sense of responsibility. There will be days when he gets completely absorbed in cases, works late into the night, or has to cancel plans last minute due to emergencies. He feels terrible about it and always tries to make it up, but it can feel like work sometimes takes priority.

- Difficulty Expressing Emotions: He’s used to being logical and objective, so talking about deep feelings doesn’t come naturally to him. He might seem reserved or slow to open up, and he sometimes struggles to understand his own emotions, let alone put them into words. He might accidentally sound too formal or serious even when he’s trying to be sweet.

- Self-Criticism & Pressure: He holds himself to impossibly high standards. If he feels he’s “not doing enough” as a boyfriend or fails at something, he becomes very hard on himself and might withdraw slightly to fix things. He’s also a bit clumsy when it comes to casual, playful moments—he might overthink small gestures or worry if he’s being “too much” or “not enough.”

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

🧪 Luke Pearce

The Vibe: Your childhood friend turned boyfriend—bright, energetic, and deeply caring, but carrying a lot of hidden weight and a fear of losing what he holds dear.

✨ The Ups

- Comfort & Familiarity: Luke knows you better than almost anyone. He remembers your childhood stories, your silly habits, and the things that make you happy or upset. Being with him feels like coming home—easy, warm, and full of shared memories. He makes you laugh easily and knows exactly how to cheer you up when you’re down.

- Devoted & Protective: His protective instinct is strong, stemming from years of wanting to keep you safe. As your boyfriend, he will always put your well-being first. He pays attention to your surroundings, walks you home, texts you when you arrive safely, and will step in without hesitation if someone tries to bother you. But he never wants to control you—he just wants you to be okay.

- Fun & Spontaneous: He loves making memories with you. He’ll plan fun dates—trying new street food, visiting old places from your childhood, hiking, or just lazing around playing video games. He’s playful and teases you affectionately, but he’s also very gentle. He loves doing little things for you: fixing things around your apartment, teaching you new skills, or surprising you with your favorite treats.

- Sincere & Open (Mostly): When it comes to you, he’s honest and wears his heart on his sleeve. He tells you he loves you often, and his affection is visible in every smile and glance. He supports your career as an attorney and admires your dedication, always encouraging you to chase your dreams.

⚠️ The Downs

- Hiding His Pain: This is his biggest struggle. Luke has experienced loss, danger, and uncertainty, and he hates burdening you with his problems or worrying you. He tends to put on a brave, cheerful face even when he’s hurting, tired, or scared. He might keep secrets or downplay his own health and struggles because he doesn’t want you to feel sad or restricted.

- Fear of Abandonment & Insecurity: Deep down, he’s terrified that his past or his circumstances will eventually pull you apart. This can make him a little clingy or overly cautious at times. He might worry that he’s not “good enough” or that he can’t give you a stable, normal life like others could. Sometimes this insecurity leads him to pull away slightly to “protect” you from himself.

- Recklessness at Times: When it comes to protecting you or doing what he thinks is right, he can be impulsive and take unnecessary risks. He might act without thinking things through completely, believing it’s better to handle danger alone than to let you get involved.

⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅

🎭 Vyn Richter

The Vibe: Mysterious, refined, and incredibly observant—he seems like a perfect gentleman from the outside, but he’s actually very passionate, intense, and slowly learning to be vulnerable.

✨ The Ups

- Deep Understanding & Empathy: As a psychologist, Vyn has an incredible ability to read people and understand emotions. He can tell when you’re upset even before you say a word, and he creates a safe space where you never feel judged. He listens with full attention, helps you process your feelings, and gives thoughtful, gentle advice without ever talking down to you.

- Romantic & Thoughtful: He is the master of subtle, timeless romance. He’ll take you to quiet concerts, beautiful gardens, or invite you over for tea and homemade pastries. He gives gifts that are meaningful rather than expensive—books he thinks you’ll like, flowers with special meanings, or handwritten letters. His affection is calm but deep; he loves looking into your eyes, holding your hand, and having long, meaningful conversations.

- Respectful & Encouraging: He admires your intelligence and independence immensely. He never tries to change you or tell you what to do. Instead, he encourages you to grow, think for yourself, and stand by your beliefs. He finds your passion for justice and your kindness absolutely fascinating and loves learning from you as much as he teaches you.

- Steadfast Loyalty: Once he opens his heart to you, he is completely devoted. He is patient, willing to wait for you, and always honest. He sees you as his equal and his refuge from the complexity of the world.

⚠️ The Downs

- Emotional Distance & Mystery: Vyn is very private and guarded. He spent a long time keeping his true feelings hidden behind a polite, calm mask. It can take time for him to fully open up about his past, his fears, or his deepest insecurities. Sometimes he seems distant or hard to read, leaving you wondering what he’s really thinking.

- Overthinking & Analysis: Because of his profession, he sometimes tends to analyze emotions too much instead of just feeling them. He might be overly cautious about expressing intense feelings, worried about being “too much” or losing control. He also has a habit of being self-sacrificing, believing it’s better to carry burdens alone than to share them.

- Stubbornness in His Ways: He has very strong principles and ways of doing things, and he can be a bit set in his ways. When he disagrees with something, he expresses it politely but firmly, and it can take a while to convince him otherwise. He also struggles with the idea of being “imperfect,” so if he feels he’s made a mistake in the relationship, he can be hard on himself and hard to reach.

🚀 Marius von Hagen

The Vibe: The wealthy, talented young man who acts like a carefree, teasing playboy—but is actually very lonely, hardworking, and looking for someone who loves him for him, not his name or status.

✨ The Ups

- Unabashedly Affectionate & Sweet: Marius is not shy about showing how he feels. He showers you with compliments, nicknames, hugs, and kisses whenever he can. He loves making you smile and laugh, and he finds every little thing about you adorable. He treats you like the most precious person in the world and makes sure you never doubt his feelings.

- Generous & Protective (In His Own Way): While he has wealth, he doesn’t just buy you things—he puts effort into every gesture. He’ll paint something for you, design a custom piece, or plan dates that are fun and unique, not just expensive. He is fiercely protective of you and will use his influence and resources to make sure no one bothers you or takes advantage of you. But he also respects your independence and never tries to buy your affection.

- Creative & Passionate: He brings excitement and color into your life. He loves sharing his art and his thoughts with you, and he values your opinion more than anyone else’s. He’s curious about everything you do, loves hearing about your cases, and admires your courage and integrity. He’s very loyal—once you have his heart, he has eyes only for you, despite the attention he usually gets.

- Playful & Comfortable: He can turn any stressful day into something fun. He teases you constantly, but it’s always lighthearted and loving. He loves being close to you, resting his head on your shoulder, or just holding your hand. With you, he doesn’t have to be the “young master” or the “genius artist”—he can just be himself.

⚠️ The Downs

- Mask & Teasing as a Defense: His biggest flaw is that he hides his true feelings behind jokes and teasing. When he’s hurt, stressed, or insecure, he might act overly playful or sarcastic instead of being honest. He’s afraid that if he shows his vulnerable side, you’ll see him as weak or only see his status. This can make it hard to have serious conversations sometimes.

- Busy & Pressured Life: As the heir to Pax Group and a famous artist, he has enormous responsibilities and high expectations from everyone around him. He often has to attend events, travel, or deal with complicated business matters, which means he can be very busy. He hates letting you down, but sometimes his schedule is out of his control.

- Insecurity & Jealousy: Deep down, he worries that people only care about him because of his family name or his talent. With you, he’s constantly checking if you love him or just what he represents. He can get a little jealous or pouty if you spend too much time with others, especially if he feels he’s not the center of your attention, because he treasures being special to you.

Bonus:

🌹 Rosa (MC)~

The Vibe: Bright, principled, and hardworking—she’s the protagonist who fights for justice, but as a partner, she’s warm, loyal, and full of heart.

✨ The Ups

- Kind & Empathetic: Rosa has a huge heart. She cares deeply about people, and that extends to her partner. She listens without judgment, offers comfort when it’s needed, and always tries to see things from your perspective. She’s very understanding and patient, willing to give you time and space when you need it.

- Loyal & Supportive: When she loves someone, she loves them fully. She stands by her partner through thick and thin, no matter how difficult things get. She believes in them wholeheartedly and is their biggest cheerleader—encouraging them to pursue their dreams, supporting them through hard times, and reminding them of their worth when they forget it.

- Independent & Inspiring: She’s not the type to rely on others for everything. She has her own career, her own goals, and her own strong sense of justice. This makes her a very equal and balanced partner—she respects your freedom and expects the same in return. She’s curious and open-minded, always ready to learn new things and try new experiences together.

- Sincere & Loving: She expresses her feelings honestly and gently. She remembers small details, makes an effort to understand your world, and shows love through both grand gestures and everyday kindness—making coffee, leaving encouraging notes, or just being there to listen after a long day. She brings warmth and a sense of peace to the relationship.

⚠️ The Downs

- Selfless to a Fault: Rosa tends to put others before herself. She will work herself to the bone, take on too many burdens, and neglect her own rest or health just to help someone else or finish a case. She might hide her own exhaustion or sadness so she doesn’t “bother” her partner, which can lead to her feeling overwhelmed.

- Overly Idealistic & Hard on Herself: She has very high standards for herself and believes strongly in doing the right thing. When she makes a mistake or feels she’s failed someone, she can be incredibly hard on herself, blaming herself even when it wasn’t entirely her fault. She can also be a bit stubborn when it comes to her principles, sometimes refusing to compromise even when it’s necessary.

- Work-Life Balance Struggles: As a dedicated attorney, she often gets caught up in her cases. She might work late, bring work home, or get so absorbed in solving a problem that she unintentionally neglects spending time together. She feels guilty about it, but her sense of duty is very strong, and it can be hard for her to step away when she feels people are counting on her.
