〢ᴛʜɪs ᴍᴀsᴛᴇʀᴘɪᴇᴄᴇ ɪs ᴏɴʟʏ ᴍɪɴᴇ┈┈Ariadne Castellano is one of the best architect of television show. The showrunner of Illea's longest-running Reality TV, creator and host of her own talk show, and now, Head Reporter of The Selection. She has killer instinct for drama; if she cannot find one, she'll make it.
Devious and demanding, her underhanded methods are meant for one purpose only: to make a good TV. She doesn't care about the moral, or lines she shouldn't cross. What really scary about Ariadne, is that she knows how to put people on the edge. She knows how to twist her word, make it sound a promising dream. She can make a perfectly happy person decide to jump from the bridge if she wants. Ariadne is precise and reserved. Nevertheless, her vigorous and purposeful manner often gets very frustating for the people she is working with. Once she gives order, no one will be able to get away with that, they have to do it. She always judges people, thinking that they could've done better that what they already gave her. For Ariadne, it is hard to find people, particularly in this industry, as conscientious as she thinks of herself. If thing goes somewhere she doesn't like, she will react impatiently. She likes the structured, efficient work, and very commited to it--she will do anything to make sure it works if she has to-.
Ariadne knows better than anyone how media lies; it is nothing but cover story to hide the unspoken truth. Their job is to create a story that people find easier to accept. Ariadne stands between them. She will not tell a lie, but she will lead you to her trap, and that's how Ariadne creates truth.

(view spoiler)clara abbey ♦ 32 ♦ caste two ♦ reporter
Clara had always been that smart and popular girl at school, and was always good at drama, public speaking, and anything of that sort. She had pretended to be a reporter as a child, and always really wanted to be one. When she got he chance to be a reporter for the Selection, she was extremely excited, but of course, kept it in. She practically knew that she would get a spot as a reporter since she had so many positions in the television news world. She was the head reporter for one of the most popular news channels in Angeles (it wasn't as popular as the Daily Illea, though it was still a pretty popular one), had a position as a reporter on an extremely popular news channel the broadcasted all throughout Illéa, and Clara even had her own television show that was less popular, but still, it was a television show!
She had a very distinct look that most of the citizens of the large country could recognize: red/orange hair in a perfectly trimmed short haircut, and bright blue eyes. She always wore heels, managed to never slip, and always wore the latest outfit in fashion. Clara was born into the caste of three, but married a man who was also a famous reporter and she often never saw, at a young age so she could climb castes and be the reporter she always dreamed of. Her husband and her were often seen on TV as a celebrity couple, which only added to her level of fame. She didn't truly love him that much, but the rewards of staying with him were immense. She was ready to report for the Selection, and ready to blow away all of Illéa. She just had to wait.

alex; She was the head reporter for one of the most popular news channels in Angeles... please make it clear that she is not the head reporter for the daily illea-- rereading this, i can see how this line may be misleading, and it takes away from the power of Rea's head reporter.

“ i will rise and stand my ground ╾ There used to be a time when Illea was something new, something good. When it stood for everything that the old nation had forgotten or killed. But those days are long past... and Illea is in desperate need of a makeover. In fact, everything is in desperate need of a fresh start -- the people, the ideals, the government, even the organisation of the northern rebels. The days of passive-aggressive political coercion and strong-arming aren't exactly over, it's just not cutting it any longer. Most of the ties and leverage in place during the reign of Percival and Elysia disappeared with their deaths. And two years ago, the leader of the northern rebels followed them to their afterlife.
Reiko stepped forward immediately. This was, after all, the moment Suki Rienne had been grooming her for since she was tiny and pigeon-toed and nine years old. And although she was young -- "twenty-three!" they exclaimed, shouting words like naive and foolish and thick-headed -- Reiko was not naive or foolish or any of those other insults they threw at her. No, she was, and still is, intelligent and ruthless and merciless and cunning, quick on her feet mentally and physically. She had already proven her worth in the field, time and time again. Now, she was proving her worth as a leader. Atypically charismatic, she commands attention not by jumping on tables and yelling with passion, but with her lethal quiet and intense gaze. Her words ring of truth even when she lies, but Reiko believes in the cause fervently. She only thinks the northerners are being too passive in going about their goals -- it's not working anymore. It's time for decisive action. And this type of remodeling requires a young face, a fresh start, a new mind. Reiko was the perfect candidate.
But life has never been simple for her, no matter how easy it actually turned out to be for Reiko to rise to the top of those warring for the position of leader. From the moment she started training under Suki, as a lone kid with no parents, Reiko has fought and fought and fought to climb to where she is now. Suki was no mother -- she was a fighter. She taught Reiko to be a fighter. But back then, Reiko wasn't Reiko. She was still Darrow. And Darrow was many things Reiko hopes she isn't. Young, foolish, naive, in love... Reiko prefers to forget the bright-eyed girl who shared dreams of the future with Suki's other disciple. Declan was everything Reiko looked up to -- impassioned, strong, ambitious. They trained together since they were toddlers, fought and laughed together, laid on their backs in the cool grass and shared their dreams while the night hid their faces. Reiko wishes that Darrow had never loved Declan. Then the mess inside her ribcage, straining her lungs, pushing against her heart, the mess that never shows in her movements or her face or her eyes, wouldn't be there. That mess was his goodbye, his lasting mark. That mess and the still lingering feeling of betrayal, even after nine years.
But Reiko has never dwelt too long in the past. She is a woman of action, of planning and inventing and carrying out. Not hasty, but not slow either -- Reiko weighs every decision carefully, knowing exactly when and how and where and why. She thinks fast on her feet, able to analyze any situation and act upon that analysis within mere seconds. Reiko has been pieced together from a quick mind, quicker wits, and natural skill. A weapon in her palm feels like coming home. She is a brilliant strategist, a master at timing. Not only in leading, but in her own being. There's something inherently deadly about her shrewd gaze and preternaturally predatory stillness. She knows how to bide her time. And after two years of careful anonymity and the meticulous planning and carrying out of plans, Reiko is finally ready to play her best cards. ╾ waiting for the night's return. ”

R E B E L ; sᴏᴍᴇ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ sᴛɪʟʟ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀᴜᴅᴀᴄɪᴛʏ ᴛᴏ ǫᴜᴇsᴛɪᴏɴ ʜɪs❛ & ; violence is a side effect of chaos. So what if it happens? The natural order of the world is chaos in its purest form; who is René to dispute such a solid fact? The idea of order and composure is ridiculous in every way to him. It might seem odd, considering his position as leader, but when one thinks on it, it's only survival of the fittest. The smartest, strongest, fastest are those that survive, while the inferior beings expire. It's nature's way of fucking everyone over, except for René.
s o u t h e r n l e a d e r ʟᴇᴀᴅᴇʀsʜɪᴘ; ᴡᴇ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʜᴇᴀʀ ғʀᴏᴍ ᴛʜᴇᴍ.
René, in all his brutality, isn't actually one prone to violence. Yes, he'll piss over everything you love, but he won't actually get violent unless provoke. He has standards, as he would like to say. Never directly hurt a lady, don't make them cry. Children are a no-no, a danger zone. But if they still feel angry about them strangling their mother and father years later, they are more than welcome to seek him out. He'll probably deal with them just as fast. But, be not fooled by his supposedly calm exterior, because when is he ever truly calm?
Some say that René shouldn't be in power. Let's just say you never hear from them again after that. Life is a game of chess, with logical moves. But it is all a great big bundle of atrophy. The natural order is that there is no order. And what he seeks is to make this country just as the world: without order.

You don't get to be the royal planner by doing nothing your whole life. Nataliya has always been a hard worker, never stopping until she got the job done. She's never been one to give up, never been once to back down without a fight. She applied for the royal planner position without much hope in getting the position nine years ago. She found herself to be one of three females applying for the position, and the youngest applicant by at least ten years. She fully expected to be sent home with a polite smile and a request to come back once she'd aged up a bit. But she didn't turn back and walked into the interview, despite the fact that she was positive she would be sent home. And Queen Elysia must have liked the fire in her eyes, because after a short discussion with her husband, she handed the job to Nataliya saying that they needed someone who would get things done, not some bureaucratic moron. And that was how Nataliya came about her current position. And she's held it since then, staring down anyone who thought to challenge her. She runs a tight ship in the palace and times everything to the second. The palace wouldn't run without her, and everyone knows it.
