Shirogane

Shirogane (シロガネ) is a humanoid arctic wolf who lives on Iceberg Isle with his close friend, Yukisada. He is the main character in Ice Scream.

Physical Description
Shirogane has short, white hair with bangs covering his scarred, left eye. He has narrowed eyes with black irises, a pair of wolf ears, and a white, fluffy tail. He wears a ragged gray cloak over a striped shirt with white cuffs, a black vest, brown pants held by three black belts, and black boots.

He has another humanoid form, more akin to a wolf compared to his normal appearance, but he still wears the same attire.

In his younger days, he had long hair that was tied into a ponytail, and both of his eyes were fine.

Personality
Shirogane has a timid and soft personality. The wolf has an inferiority and persecution complex. He is cowardly and emotional to a fault, crying and screaming fairly easily. When hurt, he tends to run away to dark and confined spaces where he wraps himself in his cloak. When he's sad, his tail is between his legs. He has also been seen crying in his sleep.

Shirogane however possesses a deep loyalty to those dear to him, such as Yukisada.

Background
Shirogane lives with Yukisada and is the primary subject of ridicule on Iceberg Isle. Sometime in the past, his eye was scarred and rendered useless; who or what caused this is currently unknown.

Yukisada
Yukisada is Shirogane's housemate, close friend, and childhood friend. Shirogane lives at his place and has made Yukisada the person to who he vents all his strong emotions of despair. Because of it, Yukisada is often consoling and giving comfort to Shirogane in his persistent feelings of sadness and worthlessness.

Peraco
Peraco is a friend of Shirogane and also his neighbor.

Rocma
Rocma is Shirogane's neighbor. Rocma has stated how she wishes to rip him to shreds whenever she looks at him. She views him as "beyond boneheaded" for using a boat during times when orca attacks are frequent. When Shirogane saves her from drowning, she vehemently shows her dismay at being saved by him due to his gender, but she thanks him after blandishment from Peraco.

Mafuyu
Mafuyu is Shirogane's neighbour.

Idate
Idate is an enemy of Shirogane. He is a frequent torturer of Shirogane (e.g. stuffing the wolf in a bag and beating the bag with a stick) and sees him merely as prey. Shirogane blanches under Idate but has worked up the nerve to go up against the orca before.

Rock
Rock is Shirogane's neighbor. Rock is generally irked by Shirogane's pessimistic and timid personality and interacts with the wolf as much as he needs to. Rock thinks of him as "gross" for crying from an orca punch and sees him as "lower than a seal."

Sunosan
Sunosan is antagonistic toward Shirogane and bears a schadenfreude disposition for Shirogane's suffering. He frequently verbally abuses Shirogane and has a hobby of yanking his tail merely to elicit a shriek of the pain out of the wolf. In reaction to the snowman's harassment, Shirogane typically cries and whines, though he has been shown to attack the snowman, knocking his head off.

Yukiyoshi
Yukiyoshi is said to hate Shirogane and heavily questions why Yukisada gives him so much care. While there is some jealousy at play, it is was implied by Deep-Sea Prisoner that this is because he finds Shirogane extremely pathetic.
