**Tate** is a fellow figure skater who practices at the ice skating rink that Main Character (MC) often goes to. He is a hard-working individual, but a bit mysterious.  He is encouraging but takes his training seriously.

He is currently training for the Olympics. Tate recognizes MC, even idolizes her a little and even encourages her to keep skating. He is currently training to compete in the next Olympics. he is working under Elena who is a strict but dedicated coach. He is known as one of the best skaters  despite his current skating partner, Serena, not skating to his level. Because of this he suggests MC partnering with him for the Olympics.

MC notices him first when Liz points him out at the skating rink. She doesn't know much about him and Liz explains to her that he's one of the best skaters there and that he is training for the Olympics. Tate officially meets MC later at the skating rink. He recognizes her right away calling her the Snow Queen and encourages her to return to figure skating.
