Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Grew Up… a long, long time ago. Kaname is one of the founders of the Kuran family, an ancient line of Pureblood vampires.
Living… at Cross Academy, a private school run by Kaien Cross. Kaname and Kaien co-founded the school as an experiment to see if humans and vampires can live side by side. But most of the human students still don’t know that their classmates are vampires.
Profession… student. Technically, anyway. He attends classes with his vampire peers. But Kaname is vampire aristocracy, and his real job is keeping the vampire students in line, preventing them from feeding off the humans.
Interests… few. Apparently Kaname’s magical powers are so great that if he allows his mind to wander, he might accidentally hurt someone. So, usually he’s all business.
Relationship Status… single. Kaname is immensely protective of a human student named Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of Kaien, the headmaster. While Kaname is usually stern, he’s strangely forgiving when it comes to Yuki. For Yuki’s part, she remembers Kaname saving her from vampires when she was little, and so looks up to him.
Challenge… controlling vampires and protecting Yuki. While Kaname has a great deal of power, there are forces that conspire to ruin the truce that he and Kaien have built.
Personality… reserved, noble, and dangerous. Kaname’s demeanor is usually very calm and aristocratic. But he knows who’s in charge and he’s not afraid to enforce the rules, or enact strict discipline. Around Yuki, though, he softens and become warm and indulgent, which makes the other vampire students uncomfortable.
Get to Know him in...
-
Cross Academy is an elite boarding school with two separate, isolated classes: the Day Class and the Night Class. On the surface, Yuuki Cross and Zero Kiryuu are prefects of the academy, and attempt to keep order between the students as classes rotate in the evenings. As the Night Class is full of utterly gorgeous elites, this can sometimes prove to be a bit difficult. It is completely necessary, however, as those "elites" are actually vampires. Yuuki and Zero act as guardians, protecting the secrets of the Night Class and the safety of their ignorant morning counterparts.

Yuki Cross has no memory of her past prior to the moment she was saved from a vampire attack ten years ago. She was adopted by the headmaster of Cross Academy, and now works alongside Zero to guard the Academy's secret. Yuki believes that vampires and humans can coexist peacefully, but her partner has different ideas...
