MYSTERIOUS: Brook usually doesn't tell other people what she is up to which will sometime lead to problems.
POSSESSIVE: After her dad died Brook became possessive over simple things in fright that she would lose everything again.
History: Brooklyn learned to walk, talk, and read faster than other kids. Her parents loved her a lot. When Brook found out that she was getting a brother she was overjoyed. In the first five months of her mum's pregnancy her mum grew very ill. The last months of the pregnancy were the hardest for Brooklyn's family. Her dad was gone full time at the community college in order to pay for his wife's treatment. Brook was only six so she didn't know why they had to move into a smaller house. She missed her mansion by the creek and cried when she saw the shaggy apartment she had to move into. One hot night in July Brook's dad came into her room saying he was going to take her mum to the hospital and that Brook had to sleep at their neighbor's house. A few days later her neighbors drove her to the hospital to take her back to her parents. When she got to the hospital her dad told her that her mum didn't have much time and that she would have to say good bye. Brooklyn climbed up on her mother's bed and said a tearful goodbye. Her mum gave birth to a stillborn child and a couple minutes after her beloved mother died. Her dad tried to stay strong but every now and then she would see her dad cry or shout of forget Brooklyn at school. When Brook turned 9 his father said he got a job offer outside of Illia and he needed to leave right away. Being nine Brook said she could take care of herself while he was gone and so she stayed while her father went to Paris. A week later she was reading a book by the window in her bedroom when the phone rang. Her daddy had told her not to answer the phone while he was gone but this man was very persistent. On the fourth time she picked up the phone and this officers scratchy voice came through "Hello is this Brooklyn?" Brook gave a shy yes. "I'm sorry to tell you this but there was a rebel attack on the college your dad was working at and he didn't make it. We have called your aunt and uncle. They are on their way to pick you up, good luck." The line went dead and Brooklyn dropped the phone in shock. Now both of her parents were gone. She didn't even know she had an aunt or uncle. The rest of the years went by quickly. Her aunt and Uncle turned out to be very kind. They taught her much and eventually Brooklyn graduated highschool top of her class and went to go train to be a teacher assistant at the local college. When the signups for the selection came she was thrilled.

female × heterosexual × 17 × third caste × philosopher × roxie
luca hollestelle × flaming red hair × warm brown eyes × 5'3" × 118 lbsRoxanne Connolly is truly the epitome of fire, from her fiercely blazing personality to the soft flames dancing in her copper locks. Bright and brilliant as an inferno itself, this girl is the embodiment of a blaze, certainly radiant as one and two times as treacherous. You will not see what lies beneath the small, slender frame from just a look at the soft porcelain skin or the singularly perfect and subtly fierce features of her face. Only looking into her brown eyes -- scorching eyes that burn like hot coals -- could you tell that there was something true and great beneath the petite exterior. Always shadowed by thick lashes and a carefully and calculatedly guarded gaze, it would take someone truly observant to see what lies beneath the lovely but admittedly tiny surface of the girl. Roxie is passionate as they come and will do what is needed to achieve her goals. She has a quick-temper, practically a walking firecracker awaiting the spark that will set her off. It's not always (ever) a good thing and often is the cause of most of her troubles. It's not that she can't control her temper, Roxie likely could if she really wanted to, but she would sooner punch someone than let them give her shit.
Roxie demands respect, not only with her sharp-witted words and guile tongue, but with the enthralling air she carries about her. It is not only these attributes that stun people into silence, but her absolute beauty, natural and alive. Her alluring regality is not made less by her delicate stature and looks, no, perhaps giving her more beauty than she would have had otherwise. Roxie is quite capable of appearing polite and kind when she needs to be, though this is usually a farce she puts on to please others. Roxie is headstrong, was and still is a person who knows her own mind, meaning she can be irritatingly stubborn. She is the kind of girl who has only needed herself, fiercely independent and wickedly intelligent. Because behind those flaming waves is a scheming brain, startlingly cunning and observant of even the smallest details. She was meant to be a philosopher after all. Roxie is guarded -- modest about her feelings, but not about her views. Of course she would tell you if you were being a complete asshat, but don't expect to understand why she feels that way. If you are lucky enough to gain her trust, she is different. Roxie would walk through blazing hell for anyone she loved even if it meant a bad outcome for herself.
Growing up in the third caste, Roxie had a great mind. A mind that was keen and sharp, one that imagined, contemplating ideas until she could pick them apart no more. She liked to think and would often get lost in her own thoughts; a dangerous but glorious way to live. She is peerless in the way of intelligence and is often not given credit for her intellect. Though she never truly enjoyed any of the occupations within her caste, she felt drawn to philosophy, as she grew up around it and enjoyed it immensely. She also knows patience, meticulousness and diligence, traits acquired during the hours she would spend picking apart her thoughts. Roxie grew up with three older brothers, all of which gave her a large part of her personality: nerve. She is a daring girl and is typically audacious. She is bold, with her fowl-mouth and brutal honesty. Her sarcastic remarks and disdain of the current society system. Her crafty, imaginative mind and fiery spirit. Her passion and stubborn determination. Roxie is certainly intelligent and good at making decisions as she tends to be a quick and meticulous thinker.

Name: Octavia Scorpio Zodiac ( Call her Via)Age: 18
Caste: 5
Occupation: Dancer
Appearance:
Description:
Octavia is a very fun, dramatic and nice girl. Her life depends on dance. When she walks, she puts a skip into it. She always has a rhythm in her head. Via is not the type to yell. She's usually very calm. If she does get mad. She will get feisty. Usually if she's afraid of something she'll laugh. She can also be quite an outsider. The annoying thing about her is she never drops a question. If you don't answer her, she'll find a way for you to answer. She's also really unreadable.
When Via was young. She couldn't stop moving. Her parents though that there was something wrong until the figured she could be a dancer. She practiced ballet, hip hop, jazz, acro , you name it. She finally got a job as a dancer and became pretty well known. she would help Two's if they needed a background dancer and would have Three's calling for her to dance. She has always had one wish, to perform in front of an one.
Octavia's parents had to convince, beg and bargain with Via to join the selection. She just never though she was pretty enough for a One and she really never had time to be one of the prince's fan girls. When she got selected she was so surprised. It took a while to sink in, but when it did, she did a backflip in the room. Via doesn't think her beauty will help her win so she hopes her personality will.

Nickname: Addy (everyone calls her Addy)
Age:17
Caste:2
Occupation: Long distance athlete
Appearance:
Dressing Style: (view spoiler)
Description: Originally born in in Paris, France, Addy learned French as her first language. She had a deep connection with her grandmother. After she became a runner she moved from France to England. After spending most of her life in England, Addy found out her grandmother had a stroke and passed away. She didn't understand why this happened to her and the only way to get rid of the sadness and anger building up inside her was to run. She decided to move to Illéa for the sake of her career of a runner. Illéa had more land for cross country and a better cross country program, and she could be in the second caste because that's where her other grandparents were. Addy had a bad case of scoliosis and had to get surgery. She healed and went back to running but has to take it easy every now and then. Her parents wanted her to join the selection because they thought it was best for their daughter, but Addy was hesitant for if she won, she wouldn't be allowed to run professionally anymore. Addy never really wanted to be at the selection but she didn't want to let her parents down. Addy is a sweet girl who sees the important things in life. She is very thin but has super long legs. Addy is 5'11 and loves the way she looks. Addy doesn't care what others think about her she just wants to do her best. Sometimes she can get stressed out, or feel glum about being in the selection. Addy can sometimes be a bit obnoxious, loud, or clumsy. She has important connections with France and England.

{ Name } Phoebe Tabitha Thompson
{ Age } Sixteen
{ Caste } 2
{ Occupation } Actress
Phoebe is a very good little actress. In fact, she can fake an emotion or a
story better than most people with twice her experience. At least, she can
when she has a script. In real life, she is very innocent and truthful,
since she has never really had any reason to lie. She never did anything
wrong (not in her parents eyes at least) so she had no reason to lie
and say that she did something or didn't do something when she did.
So, yeah, she's spoiled, but she's not a spoiled brat. In fact, she's
actually quite nice and pleasant, if a little naive. Being a two, she is
quite ignorant to the troubles of the lower castes and doesn't understand
'what's so bad'. Of course, she isn't intentionally offensive, but she
often doesn't think before she speaks.
At the young age of sixteen, she hasn't really began to worry about
the problems of her country and is pretty oblivious to most news headlines.
Now she has been selected, she is definitely going to pay more attention
and try to understand Illéa. She honestly wants to be the princess and
rule alongside the prince, not just out for the crown. She always thought
that it would be magical to be a real princess. And, well, wasn't this just
the perfect opportunity to become one?
All Phoebe's life has been sunshine, rainbows and daisies as a Two.
She was born healthy and bonny, just like many Twos were. Beauty was a
big factor of a lot of their jobs. When she was only eight she got her
first acting role and she had only been thriving since then. Her
model Mother and athletic Father were quick to notice her natural talent.
Acting was her passion and she never wanted to do anything else.
Well, except maybe a princess.

{ Name } Mae June Showers
{ Age } Nineteen
{ Caste } 4
{ Occupation } Farmer
Ha ha, yes, her parents named her Mae June. Let's get over that quickly
because she's heard enough of it from her brothers. And boy is she sick
of it. Most of the time, she has a pretty good sense of humour, but
hearing the same joke for her whole life gets pretty dull after a while.
She is very laidback and chilled, only hard working when she is helping
out her parents and brothers on the farm. She isn't the smartest, but
she is very strong and enjoys the company of males more than her own
gender. Maybe that is because she is only girl of six children. Yeah,
probably is.
While she is quite a pleasant person when she's happy, Mae has a nasty
temper when she is grouchy and the slightest things can set her off into
being in an angry mood. For example, being forced to do something she
doesn't want to, sleeping badly or even just being hungry. And, boy, if
you anger her at 'that time of the month', you may as well just plan your
funeral.
Mae's family is pretty well off, having one of the biggest farms around.
They provide lots of food for the whole country because they have
incredibly fertile lands which produce some of the best crops in
Illéa so they can afford to make their prices a bit higher than most.
Mae has loved working on their lands since she was a tiny girl. She
especially loved working with the animals. They were her absolute
favourite. Normally her and her youngest older brother were the ones
who worked with the cows, milking, collecting the chicken's eggs, etc.
When it came to the Selection, Mae was on the edge and wasn't sure
what she wanted to do. On one hand, she wasn't really bothered
about being a princess or ruling. But also, it was an amazing
opportunity to do something great for the country. She could actually
change lives for the better. Imagine how cool that would be? So
Mae signed up and, miraculously got in. She knows that she isn't likely
to win. But there's always a chance, right?

female × heterosexual × 18 × second caste × model × magda
amelia zadro × chestnut brown hair × pale blue eyes × 5'6" × 124 lbs
Yes, Magda may be quiet, but this is certainly no reason to judge her. No, really it is not her being quiet, but her being observant. Though she does not talk much, she sees much, astute and perceptive, this girl has the ability to see right through you. She has little need to speak when she can easily pick apart a person from just watching their mannerisms and words. Looking into those sharp blue eyes, you wouldn't be able to discern how Magda felt, it is rather like looking into two pale, lustrous pools, not the eyes of a Machiavellian genius. The duplicity of this girl is well hidden behind the delicate exterior, you would not see the cunning intelligence of her behind the regal prominence of her features and the refined, ladylike appearance. Her intellect is truly startling, and because she is typically judged by her looks, people are even more surprised when they realize how exceedingly cunning she really is.
On the surface you receive the calm, unperturbed air that always seems to float around Magda. As some people walk into a room, vivacious and bubbly, lightening the mood, she enters almost imperceptibly naturally turning the mood into something tranquil. Though she is a deceitful girl, she has the uncanny ability to still others, not with any actions or words but simply with her serene presence. Though she can be a settling girl, she can also be subtly unsettling. Magda is usually thought of as mysterious, not only because of her lack of words, but because of her reservedness. Behind the relaxed demeanor are feelings, true humane feelings that hardly ever show on her lovely, perfectly-proportioned face. She is guarded and does not trust easily, instead she is often weary and cynical about others.
Magda is not one to be tricked, but could easily trick others with her sharp intellect and scheming tongue. Don't try to screw with this girl because she will find a way to turn it around, laying you at her feet with only her guile words and the nature that implores you to agree with her. All of her words are careful, calculated perfectly. Even the sound of her voice is soothing in the way that makes you believe her, or want to believe her. Magda can change herself on the drop of a dime, instantly conforming to the person she is communicating with. It is not often that you would see beneath the protective shell of her exterior. She typically comes across as cool and collected, never scatter-brained, and that is about all you will receive from her because that's how she wants it. Though, around her female competitors, she typically comes across as sardonic and blunt. But beneath all of this, Magda can be passionate and for anyone whom she truly cares for, she would do anything. Literally anything, if she really cares enough, she will throw her own head on a blade for that person. There is something simultaneously good and bad about this girl, even if you rarely see the good part, it always resides beneath the calm.

As the child of cooks, it would be no surprise that she would think such a thing. She's been surrounded by spices and meats and greens her entire life. To her, that was luxury at its finest. Of course, there are those in the higher castes that very well think quite the opposite, but it's not really like she cares. Actually she does care, but she has a tendency to get easily flustered when talking about anything that's not cooking.
c h e f ғʀᴏᴍ ᴛʜᴇ ʟᴏᴡᴇʀ ᴄᴀsᴛᴇs. ᴍᴏsᴛ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ sʜᴇ ᴡᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟᴀsᴛ
most would remark that Adriane has a proficiency with meat based dishes and high fire stoves. As the old saying goes, if you can't take the heat--only she can take it, and then some. While a high fire may bring things to boil quickly, she's slow to anger. It takes quite a bit to frustrate or enrage her, but one sure fire way is to blatantly insult her cooking or to waste food. Efficiency is important to her, as well as being frugal. Wasting food that you could eat all of, and not go looking for a snack because of afterwards saves money and resources. Beneficial in the long run, you could say.
when she's not harping away at sloppy eaters and wasteful diners, Adriane has been known to be fairly...vacant. She goes off to her own little magical world of cuisine in her mind, and doesn't come back out unless you bring her from it. Usually peeved and disappointed, though. But, begs the question of why she's even in the Selection. Was it by choice, or by the edict of her parents? The answer is neither; an accident, plain and simple. The fault of humans always leaves room for error and that's exactly what she was. But she wasn't about to go rejecting her nomination. No, no. That would have been a very bad idea.

▬▬▬▬ LONDON AVALYN HAMPSHIRE ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
⤬⤬⤬ taken away to the ᴅᴀʀᴋ side ⤬ swimmer ⤬ behati prinslooY O U never have met a girl in such a sad situation. A girl that has only ever wanted to spend her days and nights in the ocean, in water. The way we feel when drinking a cold glass of lemonade on a scorching summer afternoon, that is how London feels when water reaches her. Specifically natural water- ocean, lake, sea, bay, river or stream. It's like her refuge, always been like that and always will be. When she was young, London started taking swimming lessons. She easily aced her way up to the highest level, made it on to a swim team, and did a lifeguarding course.
S O O N she swam her way up the levels, hitting a few obstacles in terms of time and her busy schedule, but otherwise London really was a natural. I say that London was in a sad situation, because although she was going far in her swimming career, outside of that her life was a mess. Since she was young, besides swimming her mother had been prepping her for the Selection. Forcing her to do 40 sit ups each night before going to bed- increases strength and stamina- as well as eating healthy and only letting her eat a few bites of her Halloween candy before throwing the rest away- who wants a fat princess?. In exchange for cooperation with the Selection Preparation activities, London got to swim. The moment she refused, her mother would discontinue her swimming career permanently. Obviously there was no guarantee London would be chosen, but just in case...
P E R S O N A L I T Y wise, London is a special one. Free like the sea, very open and horrible at hiding her emotions, London yet is not a mean person. Blunt and impulsive, yes, but inside she has a good heart. London also carries an overconfident air about her; the air that makes it seem as though she can do anything. She changes her mind frequently, and is indecisive to a fault. Although her closet and bedroom are very organized- a princess needs to have organized chambers- at school her desk isn't and neither is her locker at the swimming pool. London has a knack for adventure and is a daredevil and risk taker. She's also very persuasive, able to convince people to do almost anything. Part of that is because of her looks- with lush brown hair with blonde streaks that changes color sun dependent, as well as a natural tan and just the right amount of freckles, London is something pretty to look at. Brutally honest, London couldn't tell a good lie to save her life yet can normally tell if somebody else is lying. Whether she's sarcastic or not depends on what she thinks of you. A good friend she'll tend to have a sarcastic edge towards, yet towards someone she doesn't know wouldn't have sarcasm at all. Towards people she doesn't like, she's super quiet. As if for London's views on the Selection, somewhere on the plane ride her brain decided it wanted to win.

〢ʀᴇᴛʀɪʙᴜᴛɪᴏɴ ɢʀᴀɴᴛᴇᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴏsᴇ ᴡʜᴏ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴘʟᴇᴅɢᴇᴅ┈┈First impression of Tate: she is so cold and emotionless. There is absolutely no way to tell what she feels. Not because she is a damn good actress, or because she has been training to contain herself, but because she is simply cannot feel anything. Tate has dysfunctional emotional awareness, and inability to distinguish emotions from other; Alexithymia is the name of her condition. She uses flash cards to remember emotions based on facial expression. She learns from their body language to determine their feeling. She uses logic, math, and references from psychological study to get inside people's head; to know their behaviour. She understands the concept of emotions better than anybody, but she is not capable to experience it. However, it also comes with something in exchange: on-spot time perception. But if Tate can describe her feeling, she would say that it sucks and she didn't feel like this strength is doing her any help.
This condition pushes her away from her chance to have friends, to interact with people. She spends most of her time working with anything digital; computer, software, anything. Because they are as smart as she is, and also, emotionless just like her.
Born Tatum Cress Grainger--or at least what they told her-, her first memory she can recall, was from eleven years ago. Tate was only eight when a stranger told her that her parents were dead on a car accident, and she is the only survivor. Tate did not believe her, nor that she felt suspicious about it. Even when she heard about the death of her parents didn't even make her flinch. Because, one, she didn't remember even having parents. Two, she didn't know how to react.
No one ever found a cause of her condition. Did she was born with it? Or something triggered it? Perhaps there was once, an overwhelming emotion that almost eat her alive, and that was the last feeling she ever had. she didn't even remember what it was. in the end, all emotional representations were rejected from her consciousness. But no one cared to find that out. All the Northerners know is that they can take advantage on her. Turning her into a perfect spy who cannot be disrupted. Cannot have fear, or doubt. Can't get any better than that, right?

This condition pushes her away from her chance to have friends, to interact with people. She spends most of her time working with anything digital; computer, software, anything. Because they are as smart as she is, and also, emotionless just like her.
Born Tatum Cress Grainger--or at least what they told her-, her first memory she can recall, was from eleven years ago. Tate was only eight when a stranger told her that her parents were dead on a car accident, and she is the only survivor. Tate did not believe her, nor that she felt suspicious about it. Even when she heard about the death of her parents didn't even make her flinch. Because, one, she didn't remember even having parents. Two, she didn't know how to react.
No one ever found a cause of her condition. Did she was born with it? Or something triggered it? Perhaps there was once, an overwhelming emotion that almost eat her alive, and that was the last feeling she ever had. she didn't even remember what it was. in the end, all emotional representations were rejected from her consciousness. But no one cared to find that out. All the Northerners know is that they can take advantage on her. Turning her into a perfect spy who cannot be disrupted. Cannot have fear, or doubt. Can't get any better than that, right?

“ i know my soul's freezing ╾ Eirwen has never settled for second best, not once in her life. She is not second best, and neither will she let anyone push her down to that spot. Some might claim that being born into the comfortable life of a Two would turn anyone into a lazy, self-indulgent brat. And although Eirwen definitely, without a doubt, gives off that air of hauteur and stinks of privilege, never would anyone accuse her of being lazy. Born into a family of seasoned, smart politicians, she has had to learn to hold her own against the sharpest minds of the century since day one. It's taught her that some things are more important than others -- her goals and ambitions will trump anything her illogical heart brings to the table. Emotions are volatile, unneeded things, and Eirwen taught herself at a young age to put happiness and other such nonsense aside for fame and glory.
Ambitious and manipulative, Eirwen is not a woman to be taken lightly. Beneath that apathetic demeanor, beneath the clothes that smell of old money, beneath the careless flicker of her ice-blue gaze, there's an astuteness and a drive that surpasses the usual brand of teenage willfulness. Because it's not willfulness (though Eirwen is that too), it's cold, hard, pure ambition. She's going to go far in this world, Eirwen is, and she knows it. This is no cocky self-confidence (though she's not missing that either), it's Eirwen knowing that when she wants something, she will fight with tooth and nail to get to it.
And right now, what Eirwen wants is to be queen. Her dream of becoming a politician, like her parents, is all fine and dandy, but the crown is where the real power lies. That's the hub of all the decisions, the axis of the kingdom. And that's exactly where Eirwen sees herself. And because that is what she wants, she will do everything in her power to make herself the best contender for the prince's hand and, ultimately, for the throne.
Although she's much more used to hearing "no" than people seem to think (surprise, surprise... politicians make tough parents), Eirwen has never accepted it as the final answer. There is no final answer -- everything is constantly changing. But that's just a really philosophical way to explain Eirwen's inability to give up or give in. Because you know what they say -- where there's a will, there's a way, and Eirwen's will is a monster to be feared. ╾ hell's hot for good reason. ”

Lucia hates life. It has done nothing good for her, nothing good at all, and it made depression creep into her life. The few people who she's told about this mental disorder say that she's unreasonable: her family is extremely wealthy, she just got chosen for the Selection, is a model, and has more than a girl would wish for. That's why Lucia just stays away from that topic. People would just think she was a freak. She's a bit sensitive, and pretty ambitious since you need ambition in the modeling world, and doesn't tolerate people messing around with her life. She can be cold to people she doesn't know and is even a bit manipulative - it's just in her nature. She isn't a lovesick girl wanting to marry the prince or a crazy girl wanting to be the queen, but is just there. If she wins, great. If she falls in love, fantastic. The Selection would at least be a good distraction.

Sᴏᴍᴇ ᴋɪɴᴅ ᴏғ deep, philosophical quote might be placed here, but Jemima isn't like that. She doesn't have a tragic past, no horrifying event has wrecked her and turned her into a mature, isolated shadow of a girl. Jemima and her history might be described better as vibrant, warm-hearted and a little awkward. Sure, growing up in Caste 5 had many downsides and hardships, but did that mar Jem and her family's spirits? No, obviously. As Jemima grew up, her outgoing, bizarre personality, her hopes and dreams for the future-they were all embraced by her family and friends. At age 10, Jem fell in love with music, especially the violin. She has played it ever since.
Bᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴏsᴇ ғɪʀsᴛ ғᴇᴡ sᴇɴᴛᴇɴᴄᴇs were sort of a lie. There was one harrowing event in Jem's life. Her mentor, her idol, her best friend, her mother...she passed away when Jem was 14, due to lung cancer. She was first diagnosed when Jem was 12, and for two years she had to quietly endure her mother's suffering. Now, don't get me wrong-Jem's mother's death was the most heart-breaking thing that had happened to her, but it didn't break her spirit. Over her years, her family and friends guided her out of the grief and now, as a young adult, Jem remains as effervescent as always.
Tʜᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇ Sᴇʟᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ ᴀʀʀɪᴠᴇᴅ. Jemima had no intention of entering. Of course, she and her friends saw it as a terribly romantic and utopian thing. To those of poorer castes, it seemed like a dream come true. But Jem was quite content in Caste 5 with her family. Her future as a violinist was bright and promising, and nothing would pull her away from that. But then came that harmless game of truth or dare. That dare would twist Jem's fate incredibly. Of course, she refused when her friends challenged her to enter, but they wouldn't settle with that. As a simple joke, they entered her into the Selection. Jemima was furious at first, but realizing her being chosen was nearly impossible, she found it quite hilarious. But then she was selected, and despite the exhilarition of meeting and dating the prince, Jem knew her musical future was already crumbling to pieces, as well as the life she had always loved.

“ we're breathing the fumes ╾ The situation is simple -- Zoya doesn't want to be here. Not only does she have no chance as a Six, but she also has no desire to see herself stuffed into a gold-gilded cage titled "queen." She hates how life is just one large cage, and with every label a new bar gets added to her jail. It's been happening since the moment Zoya popped out into this cruel, hard, cold world, born to a Six, destined to stay a Six, even though her true passion lies in her voice and what she can do with it, in the twisting melodies and throaty notes and haunting lyrics that issue from her lips. She was born to be a singer, but was born into the life of menial labor, despite her natural skill and sharp mind.
Zoya has lost everything. Her world has been crumbled down to ash and rubble time and time again, and constantly she has rebuilt shaky foundations, wishing the world would grant her a reprieve. It's never come. Only tragedy after tragedy, an endless mess of random happenings that have driven Zoya into a special sort of hell. She must have had bad karma in a past life or something. Both her parents -- dead and gone. Her brother -- disappeared without a trace. Her best friend -- his own finger on the trigger, his face on the pavement. That was the snapping point, the moment she threw all her colorful notebooks, the only color left in her life now that he was gone, full of lyrics and songs he'd never hear, into the gutter, and dyed her hair for the first time. She was no longer the girl who had thought she could be more than a Six, who had believed in life. Zoya has always been one lonely rock in an endlessly violent sea, weathering the storm.
She's learned to cope -- she's had to. Otherwise, she would have gone insane by now, driven mad by loss and regret and captivity. Her coping mechanism is not to bar herself away, to stuff her emotions in a box and become a shell. Although Zoya does keep to herself (her private life is exactly that, private), she's always the one to laugh loudest, to sing with the most soul, to throw herself headfirst into whatever arises. She's not afraid to get down and dirty, and she will gladly knee anyone who messes with her in the nuts. Zoya's street smarts have saved her from many a problem that her wild-child, rebellious, live-free-die-young nature has put her into. And if she's secretly a guilt-ridden, self-loathing, self-destructing mess hiding behind the falsities of that wild mask, no one needs to know. Because Zoya is good enough at what she does for everyone to not think twice and ask if there's really more behind the crazy hair and pretty face. It hurts sometimes to think that that's all most people see, and will ever see, but Zoya has also acknowledged how useful this can be for someone with (unnecessarily secret) secrets.
And that's exactly how Zoya is planning to treat the Selection. She has no idea how she got in, but hell is she's going to let it go to waste. If she's here anyways, getting fed and pampered, she's gonna have herself some fun. It's not like there's anyone out there to pay the price for her misdemeanors and rule-breaking. ╾ analyse my dreams of a smoke filled room. ”

Aisley is a sweet girl with a very conflicting personality. She's carefree, yet dead serious. She's kind, yet hostile. She's passive, yet agressive. It's nearly impossible to describe such a girl, one who chose a Career of acting because she thought it was nice to become someone else, but not for too long. Aisley is they type of person who knows how to morph her personality to fit whatever situation she's in. Unfortunately, in doing so, her original and true personality becomes extremely muddled and nearly impossible to discern. She is a quick-witted girl who knows how to think on her feet, and has an excellent memory. She has unconsciously trained herself to hide her emotions and only show what she chooses to. Aisley isn't arrogant unless she feels the need to be, similar to other traits that are viewed negatively, like hostility or jealousy. Everything about Aisley is complicated, and nothing is as it seems.
She, surprisingly, doesn't suffer from any sort of disease or condition that makes her the way she is. She just developed such a personality through both her upbringing and her job. Her family was rich, but they never spoiled their children. Aisley had to work for whatever she wanted, which was a valuable lesson for her to learn. Her family consisted of her and her two older sisters, Kailani and Marian, which was a positive experience for Aisley. Both her sisters went through everything before she did, so they were able to give her advice and help when she needed it. It wasn't often, of course. Aisley had always been the brightest of the three sisters, which was why she found herself in a job such as acting. Growing up, her opportunities were plentiful and her parents had taught her to take them when they were available to her. She cracked down at school and made sure that she received passing marks, regardless of how she felt about the subject. Now, she was never at the top of her class, by any means, but she made her way through school and into her job fairly easily.
She has always been passionate about acting, even as a young girl. She became more and more involved with it, whether it was as a result of school or the bounties of opportunities for her to take and succeed with. Eventually, she was encouraged to audition for a minor role in a fairly major film, which she did without question. At the time, she was only thirteen, and such a great experience had a big impact on her life. She launched herself into the craft, taking lessons and watching her favorite actors to improve her own methods and skills. She participated in numerous musicals and plays when she couldn't get into a movie, and loved every second of it. She really did find something she was truly passionate about, but her career didn't really take off until she was about fifteen. It was then that more producers and directors began to ask her to audition for major roles in their movies, which, of course, she did. She was extremely happy to be receiving such attention from the directors, but not from the press. That was one part of her job that she hated, the attention from people who just wanted to use her in a story, or use her to advertise their product. But she soldiered through it all for the love of acting, which was more than enough of an incentive. When this latest Selection came, Aisley entered just to see if she would get picked, almost for the fun of it. She liked the prince, and thought he was very attractive, but she hadn't ever really had any intentions of a possibility of marrying him.

Nicco D'Onofrio is the seventh in an entire empire of other Nicco D'Onofrios. The firstborns of other firstborns, the bearers of the infamous and respected name which ties them to the greatest of the greats, the very top of the skyscraper of wealth. Everyone in Illéa knows: if you want money, you find a D'Onofrio. Their realm is far-reaching and their name infiltrates in everything business: banks, corporations, chain stores, hotel owners, jewelers, they all bow down to the name.
And so it seems rather odd that Niccola D'Onofrio strives so hard to stand out. The first female firstborn of the D'Onofrios, the first Niccola versus the esteemed Nicco, the first female heiress to the vast familial coporation, what more was there to gain? From the moment Nicco was born, she was extraordinary-- her gender, her title, her name, it all deemed her significant.
That is exactly what she is fighting. She doesn't want fame or fortune handed to her like some family heirloom. She wants to earn it. Her electric blue hair shines to physically separate her from the suave, slick-haired businessmen and the arrogant, misogynistic asshats who think they're all that. Fearless and wild, the girl dances with the devils of change, hoping, always hoping for the opportunity to become something more.
This is what the selection is for. It is the chance to prove herself worthy, to crown herself (pun intended) with more than titles and names but with the freedom to choose greatness, to cling to it and to claim it as her own. It is true, she is sheltered. The girl has been raised her whole life with Swarovski crystals dangling from the chandeliers overhead, with money dealt out like candy pieces on Halloween, with affluence screaming from every item she touches. But her innocence does not mean she is ignorant. Her affluence does not lead her to arrogance. Here is the wise old woman in a young girl's body, and here, too, is the newborn babe who wants desperately to prove she is all grown up, a mass of contradictions and eccentricities pressing onwards, eyes searching for something other. Something great.

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
Name: Samantha Elena Carpenter
Age:17
Caste:5
Occupation:Singer
Appearance:
Dressing style:(she never had nice clothes until she joined the selection so she isn't used to the whole poofy gowns) (view spoiler)
DESCRIPTION
Samantha was the first born in a family of six kids. She had to learn how to mature fast and work hard. Both of her parents worked full time to pay for their small home. After she decided to become a singer her life got a little better. She gave most of her money to her parents since her younger siblings were too young to make much money but she secretly kept some to save up for college in Paris. On Samantha's 15th birthday her parents took her savings to pay rent. Samantha's dreams of college were crushed. Her parents needed more money and since she was the oldest she needed to help provide. When the selection signups came by she signed up to help her family, and herself.
Samantha can be described as, understanding, kind, healthy, hardworking, and graceful especially under pressure. On the downside though Samantha is a bit shy. She has a low self esteem and can get a bit jealous of others sometimes. She is compulsive and her family is very poor. Samantha is what people would call a tomgirl. She is never afraid to get dirty. She can't help but smile when she paints her nails or gets a new haircut. Most of the time though she is timid and insecure. She is always afraid of what people would think of her. Her parents hope she will find a guy that will change the way she thinks of herself.

Ɗany's mother thought her job should have been over after she'd spent nine months carrying the little parasite inside her stomach. It definitely should have been over after the seven hours she lay on a hospital bed waiting for the little brat to finally get out. She never wanted the child, and despite the claims the doctors made, she felt no connection with the little red squalling mouth to feed she now had to deal with. It was quite honestly a miracle that Dany survived so long in her mother's "bed and breakfast" that was home to drunkards and drug addicts and many other people of that sort. It made good money, to be sure, after all they didn't care if the drink was good so long as it kept coming, they didn't notice their money slipping away until it was gone and they were out on the street.
Ƒrom the early age of four, Dany "earned her keep" cleaning rooms and the like, serving tables, etc. The law prohibited child labour, and children serving alcohol, but Dany was too young to know any better, the customers were too hazy to care who was serving their drinks, and the mother knew very well but didn't feel the need to turn away someone who would work for free. However despite her mother's moral ambiguity on matter such as child labour and the other disreputable things that went on in her inn, her daughter always attended school. She intended for her daughter to drop out eventually, but Dany never did. She enjoyed learning far too much for that, and even with her mother's many attempts to convince her that she needed her help at the inn, that she didn't have time to go to school, Dany always attended, and excelled to the point that her teachers remarked that it was a shame such a bright mind would be wasted away as a four, when she could have excelled as a three, given the chance. But Dany was a three, and however bright her mind might have been, there was no use for it in the life she lived, save in the classroom.
ǀt was at the age of seven that Dany first ran away. This was the first of many attempts, all of which unsuccessful for many reasons. The first being that people tended to notice a barefooted little girl trudging down the street carrying a backpack with their few belongings, the second being that without any funds she never lasted long, and the third being that she had no means of getting a job. At the age of twelve, she started her job hunt. She had to get out, had to get funds, had to get out. But she soon gave up after numerous people smiled down their noses at the young girl, explaining patiently that she was too young, that she didn't have enough experience, and that they just weren't looking for someone like her. So life continued. She went to school, she came home, she served customers, her mother threw beer bottles at her when she wasn't quick enough on her feet, and she collapsed into bed completely exhausted every night.
Ƈome the age of seventeen, Dany finally saw a chance to get out of her miserable existence when the Report began to play on the tiny TV screen in the bar downstairs announcing a Selection to find the Prince's bride. She was very nearly hit by the beer bottle that time as she paused to watch the program, and as it was her tray of drinks hit the floor as she dodged it. After being screamed at by her mother for a good fifteen minutes to the amusement of the customers, Dany was decided. She was getting out of this place, once and for all. So she signed up for the Selection before the next day, and by some miracle made it in. She slipped out the window with her backpack containing all her meager belongings and a wad of money (stolen from the cash register) and headed off to the palace to begin what would hopefully be her new life. She knows that in the Selection, she'll become a three, and receive a weekly allowance while she remains at the palace, and that's the reason why she'll fight to stay as long as she can. With money, and new caste, and the fame being in the Selection will bring her, she'll finally be free to start a new life living the way she wants to. However judging by what she's seen of the prince on a small grainy television screen, if he asked her to be his queen she might not say no.

adelina noble ❣ nineteen ❣ caste two ❣ pop star
Adelina was born into a family of two wealthy socialites, and stayed an only child for her entire life. That caused her to get all of the attention, publicity, and opportunities, so at the young age of sixteen, she became famous through all of Illea thanks to her songwriting talent and bubbly personality as a pop star. She became every girl's teen idle plastered on their bedroom's wall, and soared to instant fame. Soon, interviews, photo shoots, and concerts at the most popular places in all of the country began to happen.
Although she might seem like a perfectly nice person on television, she came to the Selection to win the crown, and the competition would mean even more publicity, which was always a good thing. Adelina planned to manipulate a few of her competitors into losing, and she most definitely was planning on making it to at least the elite. If she lost, she could simply come home with fake tears and continue her singing career, and she would make sure the rub the security of a great life she had into the other girl's pretty faces.

Name: Selena Danielle View (goes by Lena)Age: 16
Caste: Two
Occupation: Broadway Actress
Appearance:
History:
Lena was born into a very wealthy family of twos. When she was little other kids would never play with her so to make up for it her parents would spoil her with toys and entertainment. When her mother discovered Lena could sing she brought her to a Broadway Show and Lena fell in love with musicals. Her first part was Young Cosette in Les Miserables when she was nine, then she played Chava in Fiddler on the Roof, and then her first starring role as Kim in Bye Bye Birdie. For seven years straight Lena spent all her time one her Broadway Career and never bothered with teenage drama. When her selection letter came in the mail she decided to enter her name immediately. It wasn’t for the money or fame, she already had that, it wasn’t even because she wanted to be a Princess. It was because she wanted a love story, a fairytale. When she was a little girl her only friends where Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, and she dreamed of getting a happy ending like them. When she grew older her dream became playing Luisa in The Fantasticks but she still hoped to find her Prince, and then she believed The Selection might give her that.
Description:
Lena isn’t snobbish or selfish even know her parents spoiled her. She has to work just as hard as everyone in lower castes to create her dream which makes her strong and determined. Lena doesn’t like money and sometimes wishes her parents weren’t so rich so they could relate with the lower castes. She hates the caste system and wishes everyone could just be equal. You would never believe it if you saw her onstage but she actually is quite quiet and reserved. Lena is used to being alone and when she’s not doing a show she spends her time in her room by herself. She usually puts everyone else’s needs before her own and sometimes can be a pushover. Her parents don’t notice but Lena can get really depressed sometimes and uses musical theatre as a way to deal with her feelings. She never tells anyone how she really feels and is very discreet about her emotions. Lena believes she will fall in love someday and have a happy ending like in the fairytales which is why she never cares what other girls think of her, and just pretends like nothing is wrong.

Kyla has always been that girl. The one looking out from your television screen, the one on every talk show, the one everyone either wants to be or be with. The perfect girl with the perfect job with the perfect parents and the perfect house and the perfect life. She's the type of girl who can turn a conversation the way she wants it to go within seconds, who can wrap anyone around her finger. She's the girl who goes through lovers faster than the media can print up a new magazine cover, the girl whose perfection isn't marred by the gossip but elevated by it. When people ask how it feels, being her, she just laughs and says that she doesn't care what they say so long as they're talking about her. She's no teen idol, she's just a dream.
And yet beneath her endless smiles and facades, there is a girl, too far below that even Kyla isn't sure she exists anymore, the girl who still wishes she could be someone else, who still wishes she could take a break from the flashing lights, from her parents, from the interviews that never end. The girl who still wishes, who still dreams, who is still human. Kyla has always been the girl known by everyone and no one. She's not even sure she knows herself. And this Selection? This is her chance. Her one chance to be who she wants to be, the one at the top, the one in charge of everyone, including herself. And she intends to take it by any means possible.

The Moreaus, while not a household name, are the saving grace of every politician, the defense lawyers who can find a way to win every case. From the moment Lee was born, her house was filled with smooth talkers and compulsive liars. Every two to three months, a new case would come and with it a new house, a new school, a new life which forced Lee to relearn her place in the social infrastructure as she compromised with both the playground and the courtroom bullies. Perhaps she took after the polished professionals she lived with, for it was second-nature for her to observe, to calculate, to charm and coax and plead her way.
But she is not your lifeline. She is not some genie who will wish all your scandals away. Lee is what people would label a tomboy, a natural beauty who wears threadbare t-shirts and ripped jeans for any and every occasion, dirty hands and messy ponytails in constant motion as she continues to showcase her skill of not giving a single fuck about her looks so long as she's comfortable. She dances upon the fine line between rebellion and recklessness, a girl who isn't afraid to play with fire but makes a point of never letting herself burn. She is consumed by a magnetic sort of energy as ideas wrap themselves around her soul and hold on with terrifying tenacity, an intensity of vision gripping her frame as she defies limits in the name of originality. She is the girl who is easy to smile but never to laugh, the girl who whispers the truth as if it were a lie. They call her a mystery, but in the end, she is simply lonely. Lee has learned to accustom herself to the temporary, to move and grow and expand beyond comfort, beyond people, into a realm where companionship is nothing but a fantasy.
Perhaps that is the real reason why she clings stubbornly to her duct-taped, too-small chuck taylors, not in the name of rebellion or comfort, but for the want of even the slightest bit of permanence before it all falls apart.
