Esperanza C. Boroñal

A member of the Spanish nobility, Esperanza C. Boroñal is the governor of Lotto Valentino. He is known for his strange appearance, with star tattoos under both of his eyes and outlandish clothing. He deeply cherishes women above all else, which has led to him being labelled a womanizer and a dangerous eccentric by those who do not know him well. He has the best interests of Lotto Valentino at heart.

Personality
Esperanza has a deep respect and admiration for women, treating them as 'befitting a gentleman'. He treats all women equally, be they aristocrats or commoners, friends or strangers and offers them complete and total hospitality at his manor. With men he is more unpredictable, showing absolutely no interest in them most of the time. Those who do not know him personally often misconstrue his lopsided attention towards women as lecherous or perverse, leading to some viewing him with fear (like Sylvie Lumiere in 1711).

Monica Campanella
Maribel is his younger sister. Esperanza allowed her to hide at his house for several months. He was the person who gave her a new identity as Monica.

Elmer C. Albatross
Elmer is one of Esperanza's few male friends. Esperanza allowed Elmer to stay with him when the boy first arrived in Lotto Valentino, but eventually kicked him out due to Elmer's gender. Despite this, Esperanza accepted Elmer's request to temporarily house Niki. Elmer nicknamed him "Speran".
