kate griffith |nineteen | teacher | caste three | selected

     

kate had a good life. her parents were kind and made good money, and she was in the second highest caste besides royalty. she could always afford what she needed, and although sometimes she didn't get absolutely everything she wanted, she usually did. her father was a therapist and her mother an event for, and she aspired to become a teacher one day. her parents were extremely busy, though, and she rarely saw them or were able to talk to them because of their jobs. she was raised with many nannies and babysitters instead, and never really formed deep bonds.

she did well in school, always making good grades and she wasn't the absolute top in her class but were still quite good, and by the time she graduated, she was sure that she wanted to be a teacher. she was only a teacher's assistant since she was so young, though she did make a good teaching assistant. she was a bit bossy, though that could be a good thing to help her get children under control, so it didn't always have to be bad, even if it was negative in a friendship.

kate is quite bold, never hesitating to speak her mind, even if the thoughts were absurd in the society. she hated the caste system, and when not around any kind of officials who could arrest, she would rant for hours about it, as well as with any other pressing issue on her mind. she wished for excitement, adventure, something beyond her province and something different, and even though she was contained to taking a job of learning, she felt like there was something more to her life.

when the selection was first announced, she immediately applied, the change from her province and everyday life she wanted, wanted so badly. kate was amazed once she heard she, out of the thousands of girls her age in her province, was chosen, and very thrilled about it, too. she wasn't too crazy about the prince, but she had the chance to become a princess - a queen. the queen of this country. she was ready to start, but the real question was if illéa ready for her?

 

         freya blackwood | age nineteen | caste six | maid

_______________________________________

freya was born and raised in the royal palace in angeles, her mother being a maid and her father a guard. she had six other siblings, and she was the oldest, and she was always occupied with playing with them as a child, though as she aged, she learned that she would have to work hard to provide for them all. a family of nine was difficult to support, so the day she turned fifteen, she began her work as a maid, and worked very hard, too.

she would spend day and night doing all the tasks that being a maid required of her, which varied. some days she would be polishing silverware or other things in need of polishing, and dust, too. other days, the royals would need something mended or sewed, so she would take on the hard task of trying to impress them with her skills at a seamstress. occasionally, she would spend all day making beds and tidying up bedrooms.

when the selection came around, she thought for a moment about applying, though the thought seemed absurd. she, a maid, in the sixth caste, in angeles, would never get in. still, it turned out another maid was accepted, which was crazy. freya is continuing to do her job, but wants so badly to do something more than just be a maid, seamstress, waitress, or secretary. however, doing something amazing would never be an option since of the stupid caste system. for now, she just had to wait and hope changes would be made. however, with the royals as terrible as they were, she doubted benevolent changes would ever be made.

        mai lee yue kosuda ;; call me yue
            ( eighteen & female & maid )

      B I O G R A P H Y ━ and another one bites the dust

    Eighteen years ago, identical twin sisters were born. Ty lee and Mai lee, girls with opposite middle names but matching asian eyes and long dark hair. They were the pride and joy of their parents, even if they were caste six and had nothing to really be happy about, but they were happy.

    You're probably wondering whatever happened to these two. I mean, this girl's name is Yue, what do Ty lee and Mai lee have to do with anything? And well, Yue is Mai lee. She just likes to be called Yue now, so she's not reminded of her sister. Did her sister die? Are they forever angry with each other? Just she just not want the whole two names thing? Sort of. See, Ty lee got the brains. She's like, freakishly smart. Like, smart enough that Ty lee isn't even stuck in the caste six anymore, she's some caste three world famous scientest. And her twin sister, Mai lee? Well she was really flexible and good at helping people.

    And so, Mai lee got used to living in the shadow of her sister. Ty lee was the one that got all the attention from the media, the one that got all the medals and everything. Mai lee tried to be the best at everything else, she had the most friends and was invited to all the parties. She had boys drooling about her, and her selfies got hundreds of likes. But none of that mattered at the end of the day. Ty lee was better just better. Even if she couldn't do a backflip like Mai lee, she was better.

    It was a little surprising when it was revealed that Mai lee wanted to be a maid. She kind of liked the idea, helping people living their lives. She liked helping, it made her feel important. Something she never truly felt because of her twin. And so, she dropped the name. She didn't need the constant reminder that she was Mai lee, the lesser twin. No, she was just as important as everyone else. She was Yue.

nicholas schreave ; crown prince ; 19--COMPLETED
. y'all ain't ready
. ffs i'm not ready
. what is he


something something, guard, 18
. looks like he could kill you
. ngl he might actually kill you-- not because he's scary or through the sheer power of his resting bitchface-- but cos he's the most aIRHEADED BEING EVER-- you're probably thinking he's all brooding and melancholy as he glares at the pillar ahead of him but the truth of the matter is he's completely spaced out and god knows what dimension his mind escapes to
. he doesn't get why when people ask him what he's thinking about and he replies, "nothing", they never believe him. like it's not too hard to get-- he literally wasn't thinking about anything. seriously, even when he is thinking, he's thinking about food, or he's concentrating very hard on that excruciatingly bubbly pop song out of his head.
. the day he starts taking anything seriously is the day illea legalizes gay marriage


something something, royal planner/northern rebel spy, 21
. grew up in one of the most prominent northern rebel families i'm talking generations worth of top notch soldiers and leaders and whatnot
. so ofc she was trained very well
. but when she was 15 she decided she was done with all this, with fighting and fighting and fighting for a cause she didn't even know she believed in, because surely you could change things from the inside out
. and more than that, she wanted to live-- not on the outskirts in the goddamn countryside but in the midst of everything-- she was never built to train in the outskirts but to fight in the spotlight
. so she used her connections to get out for good-- started tutoring all these twos and then they needed an extra tutor for the princesses and they liked her because she was young and beautiful and graceful and oh so charming
. there's more. but we'll save that for later.
. what you need to know is that once she knows what she wants, she will do everything to get it. yes, she is ambitious af, but not just for herself, for illea
. there is no use for ambition if you don't have courage, there is nothing she hates more than a coward
. eagle-eyed and lion-hearted-- good luck trying to smuggle anything past her (fyi, it won't work. she's royal planner for a reason)
. used to being the prettiest girl in the room-- incredibly charming and graceful but also knows full well she has the power to eND YOU and is not afraid to be a petty bitch and sabotage if you don't show her the respect she deserves but in her own, wide-eyed, innocent guise trust me she's much better at this backstabbing thing than you are darling
. collabs; something with bree's rebel leader, something with shad


yena lee, maid, 16
. okay okay so her dad was basically exiled from new asia for being a participant in the failed 8/8 movement demanding that labor unions by recognized by the govt, pushing for universal healthcare, all that fun stuff so they came here when she was 11
. they're allowed to stay here on the condition that they are good citizen™ and also it helped work out a much needed peace treaty between new asia and illea so everyone won
. eXCEPT JK ITS NOT COS WHO LET YENA BE A MAID
. it's not that she's clumsy or she's clueless-- far from it, she's graceful af and is a bright child and a good learner
. but she's so damn careless omg she just really doesn't care like honestly who cares if the drapes are wrinkled definitely not yena
. queen of half assing things
. she's really good with plants though so before she was made a selected maid something about building relatability with other girls since she was so young she worked as the head gardener's assisstant and took care of the plants she loves green things and being outside and also being able to freak everyone out by knowing exactly which parts of which plants are poisonous
. but even then, it wasn't a rare occurence for the head gardener to come find yena sleeping under the oak trees and scream, "YENA LEE WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING," and yena would lazily open her eyes and stretch and yawn out a muffled, "i'm vegetating."
. and now she's expected to sew ahahahaha good luck with that


hudson reynolds, guard, 18-- COMPLETED
. yes, that's right reynolds eyyy jeather
. yes, the very famous, youngest national illean star athlete/ model who also got drafted into becoming a palace guard right after he competing in his first olympics (and winning, that's the important part)
. and yes, most of the time twos with his status tend to just slide some bribe money to get out of it but his fucking family and his fucking well-built moral compass with their fucking honor
. so yes, excuse him if he isn't the happiest person okay he's fucking better than this

elisse marianne dow - liss
. phoebe tonkin
. seventeen / selected / athlete
. she is the fastest you have ever seen
. everyone knows her face but no one knows her
. was taught hardcore to adore running from a young age and this is basically the one part of her job that isn't a complete lie cause lord knows she hates the rest of it.
. born into the second caste with high-key terrifying politician mother who is basically a shark in human form and a hard ass top-notch athlete father
. under pressure 24/7 to always appear perfect from her competitive superhuman parents, who wouldn't be a little scarred?
. though intellectually she belongs in the third class but it's easy to hide behind the mask of fame athletics brings her; like actually she could talk her way out of any argument and slay any debate because really she's smart as fuck, but who would give a damn when she's an athlete?
. eloquence is overflowing, sharp like goddamn that mind doesn't miss a detail and is high key analyzing everything all the fucking time, but she's just an athlete and that's how it's always been.
. got a warriors mentality and stronger opinions/views, and often due to her intellect they're pretty spot on but she's learned to hold her tongue.
. she knows how to act, like she's used to being what others want from her: a proper lady but a fierce competitor, but honestly the moment she is alone she's just fucking tired of it all
. mostly folks are just intimidated by her but in reality her persona is just calm and charismatic, she's really a cinnamon roll with a golden heart but acting like a basic bitch is just so much easier. It's what she was raised to do.
. the competition makes her sick and of course it wasn't her choice, but if she's stuck fighting for someone she doesn't want, why not be remembered???

india annanaya frege
. emeraude toubia
. nineteen / selected / socialite
. she-is-here-to-win-fuck-off.
. she projects the image of literally the softest, fluffiest, gooiest cinnamon roll on the earth and maybe she was. Once,
. this little bitch will scheme her way to the top with her pretty smiles and sparkling eyes
. like you've never met someone like her
. she will talk circles around anyone, and while she appears naive and spoiled to the core, she's actually a high key Machiavellian genius who knows what the fuck she's doing
. she's boisterous, beautiful and bold, but underneath all the good stuff she's a rich ass manipulator who plans to win.
. sultry, charming, dazzling as fuck. she's persuasive to a fault and knows exactly what you wanna hear, flirting like 24-fucking-7
. acts as stupid as she can but in reality she's a hell of a lot smarter than anyone and everyone thinks.

silene livia cadall
. ivana baquero
. collabs // just betraying everyone basically w/ melisquish and thegirlwithmints
. gotta come up with a pseudonym for her scylla chase
. twenty / head maid
. but more importantly she's a fucking rebel and she is fully capable of eNDING YOU.
. her guise is pretty and taciturn but ya know what she's actually the most terrifying person you've ever met
. like people don't even give her a second look cause she's lovely and a maid and that's all they need to know but in the end she's a dope ass little mother fucker who will verbally cripple you
. machiavellian fucking genius
. pretty impulsive and will often have low key outbursts of bitterness if you strike a nerve, which isn't hard.
. not particularly intelligent but she's savagely strategic and was born for the battle field
. darling no one could create the most destructive plan known to man and pull it off with finesse like she could.
. basically heartless
. isnt she great?
. she's not all bad, though, she still got laudable morals and takes her mandate v seriously, like she's fully prepared to die for the future of illea but for now she's just a boiling mess of hatred towards the society that took her parents life gonna be a real screwed up backstory here
. but it doesn't mean she's suicidal she won't risk her life for you, just her cause call it devotion
. could be ruthless, could also be a hero--we'll see

×× ᴍᴀɪᴅ ᴛᴏ ╾╾

ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴄᴀɴɴᴏᴛ ᴡɪɴ  [ ♛ ]  scylla chase, nothing more than a small girl who was born regrettably into the dirty life of six. A lowly yet talented girl who pulled some strings and found herself a place among royals. A pretty little maid who worked her admittedly nice ass off to take the head spot, to grow firmer in her attachment to nobility. That was the story they gave her, and this is the story Silene has been fastened to from the moment she found herself free of the rebel camps and dropped into the thriving heart of luxury and greed. In a place where one could imagine how easily you could fall into fantasies of life bathed in riches, it only became so much easier for her hatred towards the privileged assholes she serves to scorch her character further.

Silene doesn't look at her feelings darkly, however volatile and destructive they may cause her to become, but rather they are the scintilla that blaze her fury into force. The all-encompassing ferocity with which she feels her anger is fuel, and while she knows it burns her up, she doesn't care. The way Silene believes it to be, is that the moment she would trade her soul to the monarchy, she is truly dead. Even the blade that might take her life in the future will remove none of the heresy with which Silene has cloaked herself. Her hostility toward the pretentious dystopian royalty is her crown and she will reign beneath it, lest she die serving. Or at least that's how Silene sees it.

That isn't to say, however, that behind the small, curvy form that is Silene is only a mess of barely-compact fire; while she is perhaps excessive--call it devoted, shall we?--in the intensity of her cause, there is something simultaneously disorderly and laudable about Silene. With a strength of spirit that surpasses the usual image of stoicism and passion, and a set of commendable morals beneath what could be interpreted as a chaotic nature, Silene is a woman to be feared.

There is nothing ambiguous about this girl, for she knows her own mind and will allow it to be changed by nothing but her own whims. She knows her own opinions and views as well, and no matter how grossly misinformed they may be, she will tell them to you intensively and without the mercy of tact. Silene may not be of the most intelligent sort, but her stubborn streak is as fierce as her personality, leaving her not completely helpless in an argument. Even then, she knows how to form her statements in such a way so as to be far more jagged without the soft edge of eloquence and to be far sharper than any blade she could ever wield. And often enough her words pierce unbidden, brought on by her impulsive tongue and fiery persona, but in the end, who ever listens to the bitterness of a maid?
