Elena Moretti – The protagonist. A 17-year-old girl who has survived years of abuse in the foster system. She is tough, independent, and emotionally scarred, but learns to open up as she discovers her real family. As the daughter of the mafia boss, she must navigate a new life filled with both love and danger.
Luca Moretti – Elena's protective older brother who first finds her. He is mysterious, serious, and deeply loyal to his family. His calm exterior hides a dangerous side, but he has a soft spot for his newfound sister.
Antonio Moretti – The eldest of the Moretti siblings, responsible for handling most of the family's business. He is strict and disciplined, but beneath his hard exterior, he cares deeply for his siblings, especially Elena, whom he immediately takes under his wing.
Matteo Moretti – The joker of the family. Despite his laid-back attitude and love for pranks, Matteo is fiercely protective of his sister and won't hesitate to get serious when her safety is at stake.
Nico Moretti – The quiet, observant brother who prefers to stay in the background. He often acts as a mediator between the more hot-headed siblings and is Elena's calming influence in this chaotic new life.
Marco and Rocco Moretti – The rambunctious twins. They are always bickering but are fiercely loyal to each other and to Elena. They're the family's muscle, often involved in the more dangerous aspects of the business.
Giovanni Moretti – The patriarch of the Moretti family and one of the most powerful mafia bosses in the city. He is ruthless when it comes to protecting his family and business but shows a softer, regretful side to Elena, wishing he could have protected her sooner.
