Tris Howell

Tris howell is a supporting character of the manga series Dear. He is Purino's older brother, Purino calling him Nii-san, and is also a violinist, like his sister. He wears glasses. He doesn't have any combat capabilities. When Kurenai and Carol visited Purino's house before they left to go to the island alongside her, Tris wondered if Kurenai and Purino were in a romantic relationship, and unconsciously acted violently, as shown as when he said "Embarassingly, I'm not aware but it seems like I become jealous of men that approach Purino..." as he held Kurenai's hand in a painfully tight grasp, and also mixing up his name for the word Tsurenai, which means cold or heartless. Unlike Purino, he is not clumsy. According to Purino, she said "I've caused a lot of trouble with my own problems, but he's still kind and dependable." Tris also helps Purino and the others to escape from the demon army after they were labeled as traitors, in one of the later chapters, alongside Kisara.
