Kentin Lerhay (formerly known as Ken) seems to be very much in love and doesn't try to hide it. He's very nice and helpful, but a little clingy.
Kentin is a friend of your Candy. In episode one, Ken admits that he transferred to Sweet Amoris High School to be with your Candy. In episode three, it is revealed that Ken's father is in the military. He came to transfer Ken out of Sweet Amoris after hearing that Amber and her friends were bullying him, and enrolled him in a military boot camp instead.
He returns at the end of episode 12, looking very different from his old self. It is revealed in episode 13 that he is the one who kissed Amber.
About[]
Ken was in the gardening club before going to military school. Throughout his military experience, one of Ken's traits never changed: He still loves cookies. It is revealed by ChiNoMiko that the brand of cookies he eats in the game are none other than Prince De Lu Cookies.
Ken was afraid of Castiel in the beginning, though he would not admit it. In episode 13, he claims that Castiel is "a wimp" compared to him, but when Alexy tells Kentin that Castiel is behind him, Kentin gets so scared that he almost falls. In episode 18, when Kentin goes into a classroom and finds Castiel in there, he does a 180 in the other direction and leaves.
In episode 14, he reveals that he can play the flute, but not the guitar, because his father thinks it's for "delinquents," which he says is true when he sees Castiel.
In episode 17, he reveals that he may still be slightly obsessed with you, or at least still see you romantically.
Ken's gift to you
In episode 18, if your Candy choose the right outfit for your date with Kentin, after you get the illustration, it'll be revealed that he hasn't had his first real kiss (excluding the one from Amber, since it was a revenge kiss). It can obviously be assumed that he wants the kiss to be with your Candy.
Throughout the game prior to the point where Ken returns, he'll sometimes daydream whenever he has time, it'll be mostly likely about your Candy being his girlfriend. (Once or twice he will unknowingly react or move, believing that it is all a part of his daydream, and not reality.)
History[]
Coming soon...
Appearance[]
For the first three episodes, Ken is a very distinctive looking character and has the appearance of a stereotypical "dork" of the game. He was one of the few characters who weren't redrawn in 2011, and so his art style is noticeably different compared to the rest of the characters, having a bold layout. One of his most noticeable accessories are his glasses. His hair is brown and is in the style of a bowl cut, and he has freckles scattered across his cheeks and nose. Ken's pose is always with his arms open to Candy, as if preparing for a hug. He shows the most variety of facial emotions spanning from rivers of tears coming from under his glasses to large hearts showing up on his glasses. He has four expressions in total.
When he comes back from military school, he appears very different. He's more muscular and has windblown brown hair that seems
to stick out a bit. He grew several inches taller and appears to lean slightly to one side. He no longer has a constant smile upon his face.
Instead of the thick glasses, he wears contacts that reveal his green eyes. He wears an open button up white shirt with a black muscle shirt underneath. From being in the military, he has dark green cargo pants and a dogtag necklace. He also wears black fingerless gloves.
Personality[]
Ken in the Amour Sucre anime.
Ken has a sweet and caring personality. He is in love with your Candy and has no trouble showing his affection. He offers your Candy cookies all the time and is willing to help her out and lend her money. He gives your Candy a teddy bear before leaving that she can put on the dresser in her room. Ken is very easy to get along with and tries to make friends whenever possible.
When he comes back, he prefers to be addressed by his real name, Kentin. He says that Ken is a childish name, not wanting to be called Ken anymore. Deep down, he is still the same sweet Ken, but he appears more mature and more confident.
If your Candy was mean to him before he left for military school, he is rude towards her, saying that she broke his heart. He even mentions that he should have done the same thing he did to Amber to her. If she bumps into him, he begins to apologize, but when he realizes it's her, he begins to get angry and tells her, "there is no need to apologize to a pest like you".
Kentin kissing Amber
If your Candy was kind to him, he still likes her, but he doesn't have an obsessive crush on her anymore. He tells your Candy that he still cares about her, but is not madly in love with her anymore, although he still has moments of the old Ken.
Kentin kissed Amber at the end of episode twelve. In the beginning of episode thirteen, he told her that she "isn't the slightest bit cute," and a bad kisser for revenge, smashing the cell phone Amber gave him into pieces.
As the story goes on, it's revealed that Kentin is "one of the few people who doesn't get upset when people poke fun at him" as your Candy puts it in Episode 18. He is shown to have a very tolerable personality, not getting too upset if someone like Alexy or Armin poke fun at him, or even your Candy.
As of now, he has adopted a german shepherd puppy named Cookie whom appears in future episodes.
Friends and Family[]
Maddy: In Episode 21 & 22, his parents come into the picture. One of them being Maddy, his mother. Him and Maddy appear to have a pretty close relationship, seeing as when Maddy was speaking to the Candy's parents, she'd said he talks about her a lot, Also ending up in covering her mouth when she so casually speaks about it, indicating he is comfortable enough to speak and act freely with his mother. It is revealed in episode 21 that she was the one who raised him due to his father and his work. She's shown being quite motherly toward Kentin, and is shown to be very kind towards everyone.
Guy: In Episode 21 & 22, his parents come into the picture. One of them being Guy, his father. Due to Guy being sent abroad on regularly missions, Kentin has hardly had time to see him, giving the impression that they might not be as close as Kentin is with his mother. It was because of Guy that Kentin was sent to Military School "to become a man" as it has been put in several ways. His father has been shown as the opposite of Maddy, his wife. Being a bit harder on his son, but Guy stated that he was forced to because of Amber stealing his lunch money.
The "Candy": It is already revealed above how if you are nice to him in the game, he's very nice to you, and is still considerably your friend, but doesn't have an obsessive crush on you anymore, but it is still noticeably there. But, again, if you were mean to him in the game, not caring about him going to Military school, he calls you a "pest" and whatnot. But, as the story within the game goes on, in Episode 17 (As already mentioned above) he admits at one point that he may still see you romantically, or still have a slight crush on you.
Lysander: It would seem that as the story plays on, Lysander and Kentin become somewhat more acquainted, seeing as "Candy" might encounter the two of them talking together casually.
Alexy & Armin: It is shown how Alexy has a crush on Kentin, always teasing him and being playful, but it's shown how Kentin gets a bit irritable about it at first. But that gradually changes throughout the storyline, he becomes slightly more tolerant of Alexy and his Brother Armin, and actually grow rather close along with Armin. Though, he still doesn't really like being teased by them.
