Sidney Barnes

She is the eighteen-year-old adopted daughter of Victoria and Cody, the elder sister to Missy. She works at the Cotillion Hotel as a hostess and clerk, sometimes as a maid if they need extra help. On the weekends she works at a cafe at night and occasionally during the week if she needs a little extra money. She dropped out of school at age fourteen so she could be the sole provider for her family, since her parents were unable to work. She does everything she can to make sure her sister had a normal childhood, something she was never able to have. She is dedicated and once she puts her mind to something she will follow it through to the end no matter how hard it is. She has her moments of doubt, and has a few mental breakdowns over her circumstances, prejudices, and bullying from others around her, feeling inferior and keeping her troubles to herself and handling things on her own. She doesn't wish to have a different life, she simply wishes for the best things for her family and remains optimistic no matter what.

Amialiona "Mia" Bitesenna

About: She is the eighteen-year-old, The Honorable and soon-to-be Royal Lady of Thea, who also happens to be her friend. She is the daughter of Viscountess Vanessa and Viscount Jude Bitesenna, of House Bitesenna, which can be traced back to the beginning of Senoia. She doesn't feel emotions nor does she feel pain, because of that nothing bothers her. It's hard to tell how she is feeling or the context her words are being spoken in, and Thea is the only one who can read her and understand how she's feeling even if she doesn't physically show it. She likes the idea of being a royal lady, she gets to help her friend and the kingdom. She's also not as bad as people think, she can pick up on social cues and tailor her words to whatever the situation calls for, even if she doesn't emotionally understand. She doesn't have anything against scholarship winners, and sometimes tries her best to low-key help them even if they find her strange.

Theanna "Thea" Adella Monai Messing

About: She is the eighteen-year-old Duchess and soon-to-be Crown Princess of Senoia. She is the daughter of Katherine and Marshall, niece to the late Queen Marilyn and King Baylie, cousin to the late Princess Melissa. She has a cold disdain for how her mother is not for her mother. She loves her mother and doesn't want to disappoint her, nor her father, the mere thought gives her anxiety. The burden of being raised to be crown princess is also quite stressful. No one knows that she is struggling with keeping her appearance, graduating and getting ready to be crown princess. Mia is her royal lady, and best friend, who grew up with her in the castle and treats her more like a sister than a friend. She is quite smart, she is intuitive and picks up on things rather quickly. Because of that she is able to tailor her words to best fit whatever the situation calls for. She knows why her parents hate each other, she learned that pretty young. She tries to be a buffer and the middleman between them, but it's hard when neither chooses to listen to her. She's under a lot of stress and chooses to direct her frustrations out on assuming people in her inner circle. She does feel guilty about it but she does her best to push it down and squash any guilt she feels for her own sanity.
