devil in a new dress

[jessica carvalho]

jessica ayla carvalho is my baby girl. an import to france from barcelos, portugal and on terms that she's not happy for at all. at seventeen jess had left portugal with her father, and two older brothers caden and cale after their mother passed from breast cancer that she hid from her children until her last month alive. not able to take the reminder of her all over the city in which they lived, and the constant chatter about it from their large family there, cristiano carvalho up and moved the family to france where he could control the family trade enterprise with a smidgen more piece of mind. but his hopes of trying to accept and move on from moro's death isn't as easy despite being busy running a company that keeps his spot as the fifth richest man in the world. a junior in college, there aren't many things that jess is passionate about, but dance is the one. at just six years old moro enrolled her daughter in ballet, the art form that had first captured moro's heart when she was only a couple years older than jess, and since then its been history. growing up and practically being partially raised by her three older brother, jess was becoming molded into a tomboy despite her mother's best efforts including one that involved jess becoming a debutante, but dance is the one thing moro was always proud she could say she was responsible for jessica loving, and after her passing, the love that jess had for the art form only grew. but rather than sheltering herself to ballet, probably the strictest form, jess extended her ranges to different styles. its jess's way of coping with her mother's passing, and not anyone in her family has dared to question it. jess often pushed the border between realist and cynic though she never seems to think so. rather than a childlike mentality, she tends to see things for how they really are, and she's more blunt about things. don't ask her your opinion unless you want the dead honest truth, because she'll be the one to give it to you, no holds barred. jess knows exactly what she wants and she knows exactly how to get it. she's conniving and manipulative, but will only use these talents if you leave yourself vulnerable. she's tricky. on the flip side of it all, relations with jessica is a two way street: if you're genuine with her, she'll be the same way with you, and she can have her sweetheart tendencies. currently she's engaged to be married, but there's another surprise she has hiding up her sleeve.
status: engaged to apollo varano.

dane kingston archibald, is my veteran bad boy, and all time favorite. a resident to seattle area for college, dane originally hails for the lower east side of manhattan, new york and at nineteen, he already thinks he's a grown man after having to practically raise himself. his parents are traveling archaeologists, and he's only seen them for a grand total of five weeks, two days, and eleven hours in the past eight years. but he's not bitter....right. but he'd probably rather eat barbed wire than let anyone know how much of a toll this has taken on him. birthdays, holidays, and even his graduations were attended not by his parents but rather the housing staff that help take care of the apartment and have become mothers and the chef, nikolai who's become practically like an older brother to him instead. instead of wallowing in his parental negligence, dane immerses himself in his basketball career, and the various games he can play with people's heads. like most of my other characters, he's selfish, deviant, and doesn't really have any regard for anyone else's concerns. ever. star point guard for his college team, dane relies on his basketball skills for his future and knows that if he keeps it up he can make it as a nba player, but its also where his human side comes out. aside from working in a deli, dane is also a kids PAL coach. impatient, inconsiderate, slick, and self complacent dane archibald still manages to have friends here and there that fall within the ranks of la's other assholes, but of course he considers himself the king of all of them. enemies, bitches, and hoes galore, everyday is carnival for dane archibald.
status: future with rosalia martinelli
