Emilia is a young 19-year-old girl, she is the middle child of 3. There is Casandra Leebrock 21 years old already married to the head of the Guards. An honorable man Eric Sanders, they already have 3 boys Liam, eric jr. and Sam.  they are 2, 6 and 12. Then there's Susan 17 years old, she's considered the most pretty of them all, been courted by a lot of man but she's still waiting for her true love. She still has time since is Emilia's time to get married, but for her is really difficult. She has brown hair, brown eyes and tan skin. Her sister, Susan is even prettier she's a red head with blue eyes and white skin like paper. Casandra is blonde with green eyes and cream skin. The Leebrock's had 3 really different kids, Malcom Leebrock and Sandra Leebrock have been married since they were 16. They own the newspaper in town, so they are really strict parents, they don't want to be the head of the newspaper gossip. They maintain a really strict pattern with their daughters, so strict that they don't let Emilia use her glasses, she has really bad eyesight, but they don't want people talking about her daughter being blind, so then they won't marry their daughter thinking their kids will be blind too. They put their girls in music and literature classes, so they are more than prepared for courting. They love their daughters very much but in a world like this you have to aspire to be perfect. No room for mistakes, as they say. Emilia on the other side she has always been the wild one, while Casandra and Susan where playing tea house she was reading the newspaper with her father, or playing swords outside with her only friend Mary, her handmaid. she always liked to run outside barefooted and explore the woods at the back of her house. She had a kindred spirit, kind of hated the fact the woman can only do those boring stuff. She wished for more and one day she will have it.

Today as usual, they all gathered in the family room while Susan played the piano and Emilia looked out the window. Their mom enters the room, with the newspaper on her hand.

"Emilia out the window please, I don't want people to look at you with the glasses on" she orders.

"Sorry mother" I walk and sit on the chair in front the coffee table.

"Come Susan, I have important information for you two" she says exited.

"What is it now mother" Susan said irritated walking towards us.

"look" she pointed the newspaper "the boys from the Winchester family, they are coming today, they were studying abroad, people say they are the most handsome man now, you know what that means?"

"what?" I said clueless

"You are really dumb like a cow" Susan said mocking me 

"shush" mother said mad "you two need to start finding a husband, or you'll be old and lonely, these two young men have promising future, so put yourselves together and get out there."

"Yes mother" we both say.

"Perfect, I'm calling the tailor to prepare the most beautiful pink dresses in town."

Our mother left the room so happy she was shining all the way.

"uhg! pink" I said.

"I like pink."

"Well maybe because you look good in every color."

"Yeah, maybe because I don't look like a pig like you."

I stand up and jump over her pulling her hair, she starts kicking me, we were pulling and hitting like cats on an alley. Then our older sister enters the room and separates us.

"you guys really need to stop fighting" she said mad "what was it now?"

"She called me a pig" I said fixing my dress.

"You don't look like a pig and Susan you don't look like a princess in pink so get off your cloud for an instance."

"Fuck of Cass" Susan said fixing her hair.
