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.

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 positive- she believes that it's not all bad. but of course, she couldn't let her sister know that she actually likes their arranged marriage.
