SAGE SA is a privately held software publisher with customers in the banking and finance industries. SAGE has its headquarters in Switzerland, and branches in Dubai and Singapore.
SAGE was established in 1986 by a group of graduates from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland and was funded by private individuals. The company started by delivering trading software and customizing ERP for small to medium firms and for governmental institutions in the Lake Geneva area.
In the mid-1990s, SAGE started selling software to the media industry and supporting the banking industry. The company installed its systems outside of Switzerland with banks, brokerage firms, and family offices in the Middle East and in Northern Europe.
In early 2000, SAGE focused its activities on delivering front- to back-office systems catering to the financial industry. Currently, SAGE concentrates on Software as a Service (SaaS) for hosted solutions or on-site installation. It also provides services such as system implementation, project management, and training.

The Shuffle! light novel and anime series features an extensive cast of characters designed by Aoi Nishimata and Hiro Suzuhira. The series takes place in a fictional universe where humans live in harmony with gods, and devils. The protagonist is Rin Tsuchimi, a high school student from Verbena Academy who lives with his childhood friend Kaede Fuyou.
This is a list of characters that were introduced in Shuffle!. They are presented in the order they are given of the omake section of the game.
The main player character and the five heroines from the anime are listed here.
Rin Tsuchimi (土見 稟, Tsuchimi Rin) is the player character in the Shuffle games and the male protagonist in the anime series. He is a 17-year-old high school student. As noted by Kaede, Rin's main virtue is his kindness. This is both his greatest strength, as the girls love him because of this, and his greatest weakness, as shown later in the series by his indecisiveness and goal to make everyone happy, which usually ends up hurting them instead. Rin tends to show minimal initiative when dealing with the girls around him (mostly because of the abuse he receives from his fellow male classmates over his perceived relationship with his childhood friend Kaede). However, he starts to spend more and more time with both Lisianthus (Sia) and Nerine after they arrive and starts to develop feelings for them. With regards to Kaede, he thinks of her as a childhood friend only. When people comment that he and Kaede would make a good couple, Rin either waves it off or says that it is strange to think of it that way. This distance between them is caused in part by Kaede and Rin's dark past when both Rin's parents and Kaede's mother were killed during their travel when Rin and Kaede were kids. Rin relunctanly took the blame for it, causing Kaede to hate him during their childhood.
