Esme Maeve Eiffel

▸ twenty+one.female.pansexual.single+open
▸ madrid, spain.july fourth.southern lilt
▸ upper class.culinary major.sophomore

[ ashley smith.blonde.pale blue eyes.5'4".156lbs.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] ]

Esme has been well informed of her looks. She doesn't much care for outward appearances, but being from her family, that's all they really care about. They're not exactly excited to see her interested in the "preparation of foods," but she figures she'll just keep lying to them about it. She doesn't look as smart as she is, either, but that's a different story. Her mother, however, can't get over the fact that she has gap teeth, and has made numerous implications of having it fixed. Esme, though, thinks it's perfectly cute.

She's got that sugar, darling kind of voice, the kind of voice that makes you think of a hot, sultry day in the summer, deep in the South. Which is fitting, since she spent some time in a boarding school in West Virginia. To follow that lovely voice is a figure fitting for a girl who'll probably end up as someone's trophy wife; a thought that she absolutely abhors, because no way is she marrying someone twenty years older than her.

( submissive// intelligent // skittish // self-depreciating // wistful )

Being submissive comes with being raised a female child of extraordinary wealth and subject to being terrorized by an older brother. Esme has had to deal with quite a lot, and she learned that just letting it pass over you is one way to get through it all. She's not stupid, no--far from it. She's just not the sort of person to take the lead or stand out from an issue. She may complain, but that's as far as it goes. All other things that show submission are what usually follows. Looking stupid, however, happens to be on that list. Her actual level of intelligence has nothing to do with her ordained appearance. She's smart, not just good at mechanics, but actually smart. She has aspirations and dreams, but she's learned better than to let people know just how bright she is. It's her blessing within her curse, if you wanna take it that way.

Esme has been likened to a small animal in the regard that she's easily frightened. Threatening her to spill whatever she knows wouldn't be hard, in that sense, and some people have tried. However, she's usually the most terrified around her brother, alone. She just can't do that, be alone with him, not anymore. From the outside, someone might think that there was something else bothering her, because they think she's too stupid to be aware of what her brother's doing, even if they don't know what he's doing. Being the plaything for a budding psychopath is not something that doesn't warrant fear, because he's always wanted her to be afraid of him. Of course, he doesn't just leave her scared. He prefers that she be scared and hating herself. Esme has since grown to put down most of her features and qualities. She doesn't think too highly of herself, and this just only seems to make her more submissive. To be perfectly honest, she probably would've been this way without her brother's presence. Her family had pretty much told her how much she was worth.

There are many things that Esme wants, but knows she can never have. She's the girl that only dreams too hard, no work involved. She can't ask for anything, because what she wants would be considered blasphemy in her family. She'd be viewed as crazy and then she'd most certainly never get anything she really wanted. She has only to long for something, including the man who may very well be the love of her life. Her savior, if you will.

[ i ] infancy

There is no fairytale to how her parents met, married, and had children. It was a mutual agreement of power, really, a combining of perfect family lines that would just make more perfect families in the future. That was the nature of it, and that was the truth behind it. Esme was not the first child, however, to her family. Before her came a brother, three years her elder.

There is no great mystery to how he was spoiled by his parents until Esme arrived into the world. He was coddled and cooed at, baby-talked to and pranced about like a prize, but he enjoyed it. Until it was taken from him by a new baby. Killian was no fan of his sister from the moment he set eyes on her, but his parents thought this would simply be something he would grow out of. Margot and Henry Eiffel were quite content with the single child they had, but biology had other plans for them. Esme lived in blissful ignorance in those first years of life, happy and fat before she slimmed down and curved up.

Just a sweet little thing she was when her brother began to terrorize her.

[ ii ] juvenility

No one ever believed that first time. Margot was too shocked find an expensive dress ripped so terribly on her daughter. At six years old, Esme was a fairly messy child, moderately enough to seem cute, but this was beyond the normal bounds of messy. Her knees were red and caked with dirt, her eyes tearing as she hiccuped and explained, but her mother would have none of it. She was sent to her room without dinner--just a snack--and Killian wasn't punished for something he'd done. That was just the first time that she would be brutally picked on by him.

Their childhood was a blur of vicious pranks and punishments dealt wrongly on Esme, all while she learned to suffer silently. She no longer went to her parents whenever she was wronged by her brother. She drew in on herself, cleaned up the mess left behind, and hid it all with a simple smile.

However, things took a strange turn when she turned twelve, and puberty struck. She began to develop into the young lady she is now, and her brother took notice of this. There was clearly something already odd in their relationship, but he began to take it that extra step in his advances. His pranking took turns down dangerous territories that crossed lines Esme had never quite thought he was capable of. She found no solace to his presence at this point, exposed to his perversity.

He began his campaign of knocking her down every peg around the same time, making her feel worse than she already was. She had contemplated on numerous occasions taking her own life, and maybe his as well, but she never went through with it. He was there at every turn and she was simply the rat caught in the cage, as he liked to tell her.

She was weak.

[ iii ] adolescence

It was when she turned sixteen that things got far worse.

The little comments that made her stomach flip and sent horrified shudders down her spine became lingering touches and bruises in places people wouldn't be able to see. Esme turned then, once more, to her mother. She was treated the same as she had been when she was six. Her mother simply didn't want to let such a thing be true, but did no work to verify it. Even as Esme showed evidence of her situation, her mother dismissed it as her being a rebellious and wretched child. She'd berate the girl and send her away in the midst of tears and hysterics.

Esme then turned to ways to vent her fear and anguish, and one such way happened to be in the kitchen. She developed incredible skill in cooking and baking, and it dawned on her that it could be her way of escape. She began then to concoct a plan to release herself from the hell she'd been born into. This personal trap that she'd been stuck in was to let her go if she left for something that her family would find shameful. There was certainly a good deal of money in the food industry, but a women of the Eiffel family being part of it? Certainly not acceptable. Her father was already making plans for her marriage.

She, at eighteen, then met the man who was her connection to the world outside of Laertes, and it's incriminating white fences. She hasn't spoken to her family about him, because then the whole affair would be called off, but she tells him everything. She holds nothing back because she believes that there's a mutual trust, the same kind that resulted in her family. She hopes there won't be similar circumstances, at the very least.

She applied to numerous places that she believed her parents would approve of, and then applied to where she really wanted to go to. She wanted to pursue a career involving cooking and baking, and everything that her family would disapprove of. She's not the kind of girl to simply rebel once and be done. That's what several people thought when she first showed up to classes, but that was not the case.

There's a certain kind of prejudice that people hold to her. Years of being trained to look cute and stupid have affected her outer appearance, thus that's the first thing most think of her.

Unfortunately for all parties, Esme lost her innocence quite some time ago. She could see right through them, but she said nothing of this. She's only there to learn and get on with her life.

Mingjae Joshua Cypress
( most call him "Jae" )

▸ twenty+three.male.bisexual.in a relationship
▸ seoul, south korea.january ninth.slight accent
▸upper class.let's go with genius

[ lee taemin.silver.charcoal brown eyes.5'6".162lbs.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] ]

Jae has always had some exceptional looks; puberty was certainly kind to him in that regard. It's not secret that people think he's just so darn adorable, but he's been using that to his advantage for years. Jae has this feminine look to him, too. Slender, but with the body of a dancer. Which, hello, he kinda is in his free time. Nothing serious to it, though. He's just so perfectly sensual, that most people have a hard time putting his full appearance in words. It's not the easy being that perfect, yah know.

He sounds similar to how he looks and Lord is he fine. His words are sweeter than sugar, but more potent than the deadliest poison. He has a way of speaking that sounds only a little contemptuous, but it mostly depends on who he happens to be speaking to. He's smooth, and his style happens to show it. Rings and things are also a must have accessory, and when he's not around family, you get to see where his piercings are.

( contemptuous .. arrogant .. cunning .. rebellious .. free )

When you're brought into money, it's not hard to see everyone else below you. The only thing with Jae is that most don't expect it. They think he'd a grateful, humble and simpering child because he was rescued from certain situations on the other side of the world, but that's not what you get from him. His intelligence is something crazy, but that's probably why everyone else is below him--who could match how smart he is? There is one person, but he doesn't care to get into that situation. His contempt from others also stems from him being somewhat of an outsider in the loop. He doesn't quite like the things he sees among the many families of Laertes, but it's also entertaining. Watching everyone cover up one deed and do another is just something he gets a kick out of, even if he is doing his fair share of hiding. But, the fact that no one has managed to so much as touch his secrets has been a real boost for his arrogance. Because, yes, he's an arrogant little shit that is very much aware of his looks and such and so forth. He will gladly let you know of it, too, because little shit.

Jae is sly fox, could probably be a con artist he wanted to be one. He knows things to say and do to get away from whatever, but also knows how to plan for something. If things do go according to plan, he improvises. He knows what buttons to push, what chord to strike, and what nerve to touch. He's not manipulative; no, no. He's more in it be sly and cunning, be the fox. It's helpful for him in the case of his rebellious nature, which his adoptive family thought was simply a phase. They just don't seem to get that he's a rebel to start, but that's okay; they don't understand him half the time because he doesn't speak English to them. They didn't bother to learn, and he didn't bother to teach them Korean. He's clearly not like the rest of his siblings, even that poor love child at the end of the list. He's the third child, but older than the second, simply because he was adopted. The best way to show money, of course, to find some unfortunate child from a foreign country of vastly different descent. Jae isn't too thrilled to have this pointed out by his new mother, or by his old mother before her. He's still stuck in that period of time when he first arrived, and everything would either be confusing or just terrifying. But, he's never gonna let anyone know that, because that would show weakness, and showing weakness in this town could ruin you.

Footloose and fancy free is exactly what Jae is. He's quite open about his opinions and his aspirations, and he looks forward to leaving this godforsaken place. He's a being of absolute freedom, and he comes and goes. He does what he wants, simply because he can and getting out whatever trouble it puts him in is really quite easy. I mean, have you seen the way he bats his lashes and drops his voice? He could get away with murder, if he wanted to. But, that's beside the point. He's just someone who wants to soak everything up around him, and most often you'll see it in him dancing. That's something he's always been gifted at, but not everyone knows because not everyone asks. If they do, he usually gives them something to think about. His idea of living is doing what you want, so he does what he wants, and no one is ever going to stop him.

[ i ] infancy

Everyone seems to think that just because a war has long since been over, the battle is won. That was definitely not the case regarding the Lim family, based by the border between North and South Korea. A militant family doing quite confidential and militant like things was bound to be strict and confining, with a clear goal in mind for all children to follow in their footsteps and be the best for their nation. The only problem was that they were feuding with another family, the Choi family. They had been feuding for many years, and it never seemed to end. It was a battle they would never forget, and just the thought of the opposing family would send the people into a tizzy.

But, Jun-seo was not like the rest of her family in any sort of way. So, she left home and went to the big city: Seoul. It had been her dream to do something other than waste away in the military ranks, and she soon found herself living. Possibilities had opened up to her, and she fell into indecision. She first tried her hand at acting, which she was turned down quite firmly from. Then came cooking, and writing, and athletics, all of which were just as unsuccessful. She was kicked out of her apartment soon after she arrived, no job or skill set fit for most civilian work.

In a sappy story of girl meets boy, she fell in love. She didn't learn his name until three weeks after they first spoke, a passing phrase every now and then that bloomed into a full on conversation. Jae-hwa was exactly as his named suggested: rich and prosperous. His family was wealthy, and thus he was a spoiled little brat that would get whatever he wanted, including the cute and awkward waitress at some ramshackle diner. The two dated for a time before Jae-hwa proposed to her, when she informed him of a pregnancy.

Many within the family believed that it was simply a trick, that the father might have been someone else entirely. However, Jae had none of this, and even dared to inform Jun's family. The response was volatile and immediate. Her mother flew to the city to bring her daughter back before the wedding, but it was just a little too late. The young couple took off, child in tow, to a small village. Jun found herself right back where she started, but far more content. However, the families continued a small "civil" war around them, and the two had to make a decision that would do their child, Mingjae, the best they could.

They sent him off to an orphanage, never to see him again, but prayed he'd grow well.

[ ii ] juvenility

Mingjae, in a sense, had been abandoned at the door step of an orphanage in Seoul. He was told that they'd gotten a call to open the door, and there he was. Totally and unbelievably cliche and fake. It was something he'd always thought of as a lie, even as a small child running through the halls of the orphanage. He didn't ever seem disturbed to know that his parents had just given him up, though he was. Lord, he was. It crushed him as a child to come to the conclusion that someone hadn't wanted him.

The people of the orphanage tried to placate that part of all the children, but none more so than Jae. He was already sugary sweet, the apple of everyone's eye. He was the child that most people would have adopted, had he not shown a real mean streak. He didn't want to be adopted, and he didn't think anyone would want him if he was a problem child. it seemed to work, because the children around him all began to be taken to new homes while he remained there. He sucked it up, because it was what he had wanted all along. That had been his plan.

At least, until the Cypresses showed up.

They didn't seem to be put off by his attitude when they arrived, more so impressed with the fact that he would dare to behave that way. His first impression of them wasn't exactly good, but they persisted. They came to see him every day for two weeks before deciding that they take him. Those who'd watched over him were surprised, so used to parents walking away once he'd opened his mouth. However, they found that the reason that the couple had chosen Jae was because of his evident intelligence, and that he wasn't carrying a serious cough like the other

children at the orphanage. They were looking for an unfortunate child to brag about saving, not a diseased one. So, at seven years old, he bid adieu to his home country and followed after one of the wealthiest families in the world to America.

At the time, he only had a few new siblings to look forward to, but the number grew as the years drew on, and then it happened. Well, he happened, but that doesn't quite matter now, looking back on it. They were rivals of sorts, but close. Much closer than a lot of people thought.

[ iii ] adolescence

There was a time when Jae might have gotten along with his adoptive father, but that's iffy. It certainly became more iffy when Mrs. Cypress, and he found someone new to fill her spot shortly after. Jae was already a fully fledged genius, and thus had no need to worry about being spurned by the woman in some way; too smart to argue with, he thinks. If there was someone he had an issue with, it was Mr. Cypress. The marriage had been too quick in his opinion; not nearly long enough to make it seem like he'd grieved his first wife.

He didn't say any of this, of course, because he's been avoiding the man since the day he'd been brought to the states. His siblings make him wonder, though. Affairs, flings, indifference--that doesn't seem much like a family.

Nera Missy Belmont

▸ nineteen.female.bisexual.in a relationship
▸ harlem, new york.may twenty-first.heavy
▸ upper class.being a boss bitch.family book-keep

[ natalia kills.midnight black.honey.5'6".150 lbs.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] ]

Nera is somewhat of a princess in the terms of her appearance: elegant, graceful, and usually close to perfection. The only thing that's different is that she knows her way around a gun, and exactly how to talk dirty. She's just an animal in human skin, in her opinion. She's a bit of a beauty bomb, slender and somewhat tall. Not as tall as her twin, but just as beautiful in the caramel skinned way. Her face is something that you'd think you'd see in some wet dream, or something like that, even when she's angry. Her vanity makes sense in that it keeps her looking her best.

Each step she takes is measured and timed, a smooth dance of superiority. Long limbs, have something to do with it, but it's mostly just her perfect posture and the heels at work. She knows how to work her figure, even if she isn't supremely blessed with curves. Well, enough in the back to be the most enticing thing to watch move aside from her lips. Her style might also have something to do with it, but who knows.

Her voice is quite like honey, and everyone seems to be about it. It's melodic and soothing, until you somehow hit a nerve. Then, that's another story. It's like she's burning into your soul with her voice, but don't dwell too much on it. Just stay on her good side and you'll be fine.

( sensual .. bossy .. vain .. loyal .. assertive )

There are plenty of women out there who have some issue or another with women that know what they have and appreciate it. They all might as well have a problem with Nera, because she's a sex icon. Well, as far as her family knows, she's aces with numbers, but everyone has their secrets. Nera's secrets just happen to include someone she really has no business being with, but shaking her hips certainly didn't land her on his arm. She has a way with words that could be considered manipulative, if people didn't know any better. She simply just says the right things. Of course, this doesn't mean she doesn't push people into doing things she wants them to do, because why wouldn't she? She's not afraid to take charge, be the boss. Hell, she is a boss; running all the book-keeping in a drug disturbing organization is some serious work, and she puts it in. Don't think for a second that she's any less than a boss.

Vanity is the sin she suffers from most. Everything starts at the surface, but she's usually stuck there. She doesn't evaluate much past that point unless she feels she needs to, wants it to be perfect. Her vanity is what has her looking model perfect on a daily basis, and she doesn't feel too bad about it in the least. So, what if she wants to look her best? It doesn't mean she won't hold it down. She'll stick it out for the long haul, because that's what you're supposed to do. Ride or die, and she'd prefer to go down with those that matter most to her. Though, probably being the best looking corpse isn't high on her list.

Nera is infamous for being a bad bitch, which is funny because they would likely appreciate her more if she'd been born with a dick. She has a few issues with the whole double standard thing, but that's definitely not going to stop her from doing what she does. She puts herself out there, equal the standing between she and her overprotective twin, who's usually all for her participation so long as she's not alone. Which, while hella sweet, is annoying to the max. No chill is what she thinks. But, don't ever think she's gonna back down from anything someone throws at her.

[ i ] infancy

Nera's mother and father were not the conventional pair. They gave her a different story of their meeting, but she doesn't really care about how they met. It's simple: they fell in love, got married, and had kids, all while ruling the drug world. In a sense, she's narcotic royalty, and she doesn't mind that at all. It's fascinating, really, that people are so addicted to something she's never been "allowed" to take.

The beginning of her life was average in the circumstances. Her brother, Nero, was born three minutes before her, a fact her lords over her whenever he feels it should be done. People couldn't tell them apart for quite some time, until his eyes became more green and hers more brown. Twins of different races aren't common, but that's what they were. African American and Mexican, and everyone agreed they were just so beautiful. No objections there.

The family moved to Laertes when Dyna became pregnant with Jera, the twins being six at the time. They had time then to begin the transition from wealthy to rolling in dough. Stacks on stacks on stacks, brah. However, it didn't mean that they were immediately welcomed by the predominately white community, being straight up gangsters from Harlem. Prejudices kept her from making friends, and for the life of her, she didn't understand. What made them any better? She could get all the toys they could.

However, her brother was always there for her when she needed him. And, as a result, they were never apart. That was who she dressed up in their mother's pearls, babied, and played doctor on. He made up her fan base, her supporters as their parents' relationship crumbled to nothing. The only thing that held them together was the money, to be honest. That's what everyone wants in the end: money.

She was seven when she walked in on her mother crying, black eye in the process of being covered up. Watching in awe, her drunken mother confessed pretty much everything about the family business. That changed Nera, made her realize something important.

They weren't anything like the families on the television.

[ ii ] juvenility

Life is hard when you're dealing crack to your classmates' siblings.

It wasn't something family mandated, either. At eleven years old, Nera was told to stay away from the warehouse her father took Nero to often. She was just getting into that rebellious phase a little early, and went anyway. She became acquainted with those involved in the business and was soon taking out packets. Selling them was easy; every rich kid wanted to be friends with Molly. Though, after trying it, she kind of understood, but she wasn't a huge fan of it. She found that wine tasted far better, and was a less painful solution to snorting white powder up her nose.

By the end of two months, she had a little enterprise of her own going. Reserved shipments exclusively for her, and suddenly she was getting invited to every party thrown in Laertes. Of course, all the social activity got suspicious, and her father found her out. At this time, her mother was pretty much done. Left without a word. Her father had been more protective, restricting. Nera couldn't blame him, having been left with three children to care for on his own, but she didn't think he was without blame. She knew what domestic abuse was, and it was quite clear why her mother had left. Nero didn't see it that way, but that wasn't the point. The point was, their father was a monster only tempered by his children.

He, instead of being infuriated by her defiance and even going as far to start up competition with him, was impressed. She was pulling in quite a sum of money, and she clearly had a knack for figures. He started taking her to the warehouse after that, right alongside her brother. The reserved shipments were cancelled, and her business tacked on as a branch. Her father sat her down in front of the books, told her to get it all together, and left her with Nero for company.

The twins were still incredibly close, despite the way Nero was favored by their father so evidently. But, there's a story for that that only Nero knows; never told Nera and she never asked. When their father came back, everything was together in an orderly manner, and the twins staring each other down for a hidden chocolate bar they'd found among the piles of ledgers. Once again impressed, her father put her in charge of the books from then on, keeping her in the warehouse's back room while Nero walked the floor.

That's been her job for the last eight years of her life, but most people think she just shops until her card is maxed for the day. Her other job is also to keep her younger sister, Jera, away from the business for some time. As fun as it was to do something illegal at eleven years old, she and Nero have wanted her to do something different -- something legal, that won't potentially get her sent to jail. That's what she does, and she doesn't think she'll ever stop protecting her family.

Nera isn't an angel, but there are secrets that are just meant to be kept. One of those just so happens to be a boy, because yeah, it's usually a boy. Not someone her family would disapprove of, but she's not exactly on his family's list of top choices. So, for everyone's sake, she's just doing business with him alongside her brother.

Nero, in several instances, has been told that his eyes could make someone question their sexuality. Of course, he naturally assumes they're lying, because the prettier twin has always been Nera. Always. While he doesn't doubt his good looks, he doesn't think they're as great as everyone says, despite the fact that he followed his twin's idea for being a model as a front for the family business. He could do anything, but they thought he was perfect for staring into a camera--sometimes without clothes, but he's fine with that. He's gotten admiration for the numerous tattoos strewn over his torso and arms, but it's always the eyes. Hmm. But, there's also the ear and nose piercings that people are drawn to. Not for any real reason; just something to comment on.

Remember how Nera's the pretty twin? She's also the one that does all the shopping, which means he gets his clothes from her. His lack of style, or rather fashion sense, isn't because he's a dude or because he thinks it's too feminine; he really doesn't have a knack for finding anything that goes well together. He's like a walking clothing hazard, if he decides to wear clothes. He'd be perfectly fine with strutting around in his birthday suit, but then he'd be scaring Jera and he loves his little sister too much for that.

Voice like silk, he pretty much seals every deal when he opens his mouth. That could be why his father dragged him along before it became clear that he'd be taking over the family business, but he's never really thought about it. An ex-girlfriend of his used to comment on it every chance she got, which wasn't more than she could count on her hands because he didn't really give her much of a chance to talk, if you know what I mean.

( protective .. pensive .. cautious .. charming .. relaxed )

Nero has always had that stereotypical big brother like nature of being protective. Sometimes he goes overboard with it all, but he means it only to look for those that are most important to him. The kind of stuff he really does puts his family in danger constantly, and it's not like he can take chances with that type of shit. He has to keep them safe; it's his job. When he's taking care of loose ends, it's all to protect his family from getting hurt. His father might not think the same way--he's more concerned with saving his own skin. But, that's not what his son has aspired to do. He's only taking over the family business so Nera doesn't have to--Jera, even. Sure, it's cool to be the greatest, but that's not what he's in it for. He takes a lot of this into consideration. He has those moments where he just goes quiet and everyone seems to think he's upset or something, but he's thinking. Because, apparently models aren't supposed to think. His family seems to be the only ones that knows how much he thinks, which is pretty much always. That distant look? Something big going down in his head, and possibly in the near future. Knuckles turning white, he's holding on so tight? There's a headline that's about to get twisted with that suitcase on the bed upstairs. He's got to look out in this business, doing his job. He's supposed to clean up the mistakes his father's decisions result in, take care. He's also got to think about the fact that he's the only one that knows about his mother; where she's staying, hiding from his father. His sisters might hate her, but he'll always love her.

Being cautious has always been in Nero's nature, before he knew he'd be the heir to huge narcotics organization. He was careful with everything, including his sisters. They're too fragile for this life, in his eyes, but he knows better than to totally shield Nera; she'd have his balls on a platter if he did. He settles instead for planning everything, keeping her out of harm's way without her realizing that it's him. He knows what he's doing, or assumes he knows. It's a real touch and go type deal with this life. That, however, doesn't stop him from doing his best. He's super charming, which is evident from the long list of ladies that have invited him into their bed and watched him leave satisfied. In hat sense, he has a problem with commitment, but his charm easily works around that. Plus, he's hiding his fucking mom; does that scream commitment issues to you? He can't really afford to have a family right now; well, more family. He could charm you out of your new watch, and your car. He's skilled at drawing people to him, since most of what he does is a cover. It's all a matter of acting the part. That usually all he ever does, though: act the part. He plays the role of a law abiding citizen in front of the public, all the while he's running a lucrative operation in selling dope. Every club sells his shit, and he knows. Sealing the deal is really all that matters, which is why he's gotta be so damn charming.

There are times when everyone thinks he's got no chill, usually all from Nera, but he's a sufficiently relaxed person. He's the type of person that could be left to his own devices, and not freak out about what he's going to do. He takes his time with everything, unless he's been given explicit instructions to get it done quickly. Even his movements reflect how relaxed he is. Slow gait, slow turn of his head, slow everything. Which is totally fine with him, but he definitely will show some need to be not so chill when the time comes. He's like a complacent animal, caged and sleeping. Wake him up, and you'll regret it.

[ i ] infancy

Nero has been given the real version to the story of how his parents met, but he never bothered to tell Nera. He figured she wanted care, and he was right in that regard. He asked her about it, once, and she totally shot down the notion of learning the truth. Which, is perfect because he thought she'd get too much of a kick out of the Romeo and Juliet-esque way his parents go together. You know, the kind that involves shoot outs and politicians, rebellious daughters and bad boy boyfriends. He wasn't much for hearing about it, and he doesn't like the way his father keeps reminding him about it.

The only part of the story he cares for was learning that his mother was never actually married to his father. She could have left before the twins had been born, before Jera, but she'd loved the twisted man too much to just abandon them. Of course, Nero was angry she'd even left them behind for a very long time, but that's gonna be explained a little later. He thought she was strong before that, though. Having to live with this man, the man that was both ruthless and caring--had to have been hard. He saw her black-eyes before his sister did, saw the bloody nose that one evening she'd pissed off Idris for some reason. Saw the stitches she had to get when he'd pushed her and she'd cut her face open on the coffee table. Nero had been a witness to quite a lot before he was seven, and more when he was eight.

Sure, he was upset when she left, but that was bound to happen. She'd left them behind. Jera was only two when she just up and ran, but that didn't seem to stop her. The hatred he'd felt for her for so long was all because of that: Jera. She'd left a toddler behind, and Idris frantic and angry. Nero had been aware of the way his father drank, and took it upon himself to be the punching bag. His father was an aggressive person, scary when drunk. Terrifying, actually. What was he supposed to do besides take one for the team? His sisters were too delicate, and one misstep could have hospitalized them. Hell, his father hospitalized him, but that's not something they talk about often.

Nero was then never out of reach from his father.

[ ii ] juvenility

Nero knew.

He knew about the side business his sister was running long before his father did. He didn't let it get to far, talked down the potential clients, but he should have known that she'd find her way around it. He watched, in despair, as she flourished in the light of this horrendous business. All he had wanted was for her to be deterred from it, but such was not the case. His father soon noticed the competition he was facing, and was absolutely furious. Probably more angry than Nero had ever seen him. That was hen he was hospitalized, but neither of his sisters had been around to find out about it. He blamed his broken arm on being stupid, breaking it from climbing a tree to save an equally stupid cat. Luckily, they believed him, if not reluctantly.

When his father found out that it was Nera, Nero didn't say a word about it. He didn't want to anger his father in any way, not with a healing arm.

( part two )

Lord knows what he would have done if he'd found out. One could see that Nero was sufficiently terrified of his father. Imagine his surprise when his father lathers Nera in praise, giving her a job from the get-go. Nero stayed in that office with her as she did the work, doing whatever she asked as best he could with one hand. She didn't seem super miffed by the idea of it all, and that baffled him. He'd been so used to the idea of the fairer sex being too gentle for the type of work they were in. Or, maybe he just thought that he'd bear this burden on his own forever.

So, he's decided that the next person to protect from this secret was Jera. He and Nera have been coming up with lies to cover their actions. Keeping her in the dark as long as possible is the best thing for her.

[ iii ] adolescence

The Belmont twins have been putting in plenty of work.

Nero has recently worked up a deal with the Yoon family, and he can see his sister getting a little closer to this all than he likes. He's not in the mood for trying to keep her in check, not with his father spiraling downwards. Not to mention he ran into his mother, and he's got to keep that from the family. He's slowly piling more and more on his plate, and he knows it might just choke him. He's just trying to protect everyone.

Jera is the apple of everyone's eye; so cute and precious. She's easily cherished as the cutest child to walk the face of the earth, and her older sister has always been telling her that she would be a model at some point in her life, maybe soon even. They just know that she pretty much brightens a room with her smile. She's not yet fully matured in her appearance, although you can see her leaving behind her little kid features behind slowly, but surely.
