Orland Langston serves as a supporting character. He has blue eyes and long black hair, typically tied in a ponytail falling to chest-length.

He spent his childhood at the Paige workshop, forging an early friendship with Bridget Paige. During their youth, Bridget showed him hiding spots in her room, and they bonded over their shared aspiration to become sugar artisans. Orland admired her kindness at that time.

As an adult, Orland holds the significant position of Head Artisan at the Paige workshop. He manages operations, including welcoming new artisans like Anne Halford under Glen Paige's directives. His demeanor during these interactions is characterized as stern or unsettling.

His relationship with Bridget fractured beyond repair over time. He expresses active disgust toward her due to her demonstrated cruelty and finds it difficult to even look at her, marking a stark contrast to their earlier closeness.

Within the workshop's hierarchy and plans, Orland operates under Glen Paige's authority. Glen's intention involves positioning Anne as a potential future Head Artisan should she succeed, a plan where Orland plays a role through his responsibilities and oversight of workshop activities.
