(MAIN)
CAST.
(1) iyana skye woods (taylor.)
20, 5'4, african-american, lightskin.
to start, iyana is a very stubborn woman. she won't take no for an answer, and if she doesn't want to do something, she doesn't want to do it. she's a determined woman with big goals- but due to the arranged marriage, all of that was interrupted. her outlook on the marriage? absolutely hates it.

(2) xavier keith taylor.
20, 6'0, african american, darkskin.
xavier is more willing with the arranged marriage- which is the main reason why this whole situation is unrequited. he just goes with the flow; no complaints, 'cause he feels like everything is Gods will. xavier likes to talk things out without arguing, though he does get frustrated at times. similar to ayana, he's a lover and slightly soft spoken with a big heart.

xavier has brown dreads, wears glasses(occasionally), very athletic body type, full and two toned lips, thick eyebrows, facial hair, and a heart-shaped face.

(3) ayana skylar woods.
20, 5'4, african american, lightskin.
twins with iyana taylor. now, unlike her sister, she is more willing to do things. she thinks more logically if she believes it'll be beneficial in the long run. soft spoken person with a big heart. her outlook on her sisters arranged marriage is negative as well- she believes that it's not fair.

ayana has medium, wavy brown and fluffy hair. full heart shaped lips, a thicker but toned body type, vitiligo, arched eyebrows, and a diamond shaped face.

(4) joseph rodriguez ross.
24, 5'11, hispanic.
joseph is... joseph. well, the stereotypical, abusive and manipulative ex-boyfriend. and of course, he did not like the idea of the arranged marriage that iyana was involved in at all. homeboy was ready to crash out. anyways, he's a very aggressive person. calmness doesn't exist with this man. criminal record plus a dropout.

(5) jordyn michelle jones.

jordyn is the best friend of iyana, and honestly- she doesn't act like it. she wants everything to go her way. but besides her negative traits, she's a supportive friend. she supports iyana and xavier's arranged marriage- since she never liked joseph and iyana going together in the first place. she's a very bold woman and never afraid to speak her mind; also loves to argue.

jordyn has long black locs, a thick body type, a nose piercing, arched and thin eyebrows, epicanthic folds, diamond shaped face, and wide lips.

essence is also the best friend of iyana and unlike jordyn, she doesn't support the arranged marriage given the fact that iyana doesn't like it. similar to ayana and xavier, she's soft spoken but thinks more emotionally, which is why she doesn't like the arranged marriage. essence is very selfless, and puts multiple people before her.
