Anwen and Carys Baines are sisters and daughters of a very wealthy welsh business man. Their lives are quite boring; they get everything they want and have been dealing with dozens of people intruding and taking care of their lives since they were just little kids.

Their mother died when Anwen was six years old and Carys was just one. Their dad, Eurosswydd Baines, better known as Eus Baines, made a lot of money travelling around the world searching for original, preferentially mystical undiscovered stories people from different countries with different cultures wrote; he bought the stories copyrights and sold them to different publishing houses around Wales. When his kids were born and his beloved wife died, he started working in the country embassy, organizing huge projects and meetings with other countries representatives. He would also travel a lot, leaving his daughters alone with no one but servants and the housekeeper. The press would always be going after him and later after the kids: the name Baines was known all around the country.

Anwen and Carys had a great education; studied in the best schools in the country. Somehow, however, Anwen would never adapt to any of them. That's why they were annually changing schools. Anwen was the problematic, rebel, tempestuous child, whilst Carys was the quiet, responsible, sweet one. There wasn't that intelligence comparation, though; they were both intelligent and cultured. They grew up with books, films and different music styles around them. 

Anwen is twenty three years old; irresponsible, but when she finds something worth fighting for, she'll do it; she'll fight until she gets it. Determined, can't stand being treated like a child, it's a Literature genius, she's utterly in love with music and books. Her temper varies quickly, she doesn't like her father, she wants to leave that ''daddy's child'' life, she wants to be independant. She likes reptiles, insects and huge mammals and water creatures as well as astronomy, astrology and exorcisms. She's an atheist. She plays the piano, the guitar, the drums, the recorder and sings. Rock, indie and alternative music make her happier than anything.

Carys is eighteen years old; the sweetest and most dedicated person you'll ever meet. She works hard for what she wants and hates being given stuff; she doesn't want to receive it if she didn't work for it. She's quiet, forgiving, gracious, kind and delicate. She's always calm, but when her patience ends, stay away. She respects her father and even likes him a bit, because she's his favourite; everyone knows that. She likes her home and the people around her, but she also wants to leave that and make her own way on life. She's also in love with fairy tales and other mystical stories. She has a never ending passion for animals and all kinds of living creatures, as well as music. She gets scared easily and debate with herself a lot about God; she believes in good, in a superior force, not in a random God. She plays the violin, the cello, different kinds of flute, the piano and sings as well. Classical, folk and indie music make her melt.

Their personalities diverge in many ways, but one main thing brings them closer: their love for music and stories.

Alright... So what?

After offering a dinner to England's Prime Minister David Cameron in their own house, Eus has to throw this huge party as a reception too. There'll be flowers, a banquet, more servants and even... a band. 

Anwen and Carys get slightly excited because of the English band. 

Have I mentioned they love England? Well, there's where they want to live when they get independent.

Can you imagine what's going to happen?
