"There's no place in this world for emotion."

~~
In the 19th century, social hierarchy was everything. What you could wear, who you could befriend, was all determined by your last name. The Rosenthals were no exception, and with no sons, the two daughters face overwhelming pressure to marry well, and marry young. 

Elena, at seventeen, has embraced the pressure, unlike her younger sister Celia, at fifteen. She's become quite the socialite, and endeavors to marry into the top sphere of high society. 

One thing is for sure, she will stop at nothing to reach her High Ambition.

•••♡︎♡︎♡︎••• 𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄 𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐊𝐎𝐕 wasn't someone you could call 'normal.' She was only fifteen years old, but she's already survived and dealt with more than some could even imagine. She never knew her biological father, and her mother, Lauren Volkov, abandoned her when she was young as well; nine, to be exact. She was born with a rare form of Congenital Insensitivity to Pain and was unable to feel physical pain, so she never complained about something as simple as a paper cut or a stubbed toe since her brain didn't register it. She was diagnosed with anxiety and bipolar I disorder around that time as well and that's when her life was going 'downhill'. Over the years, she was also diagnosed with parasomnia, ADHD, paranoid personality disorder, and acute stress disorder. Needless to say she had more prescriptions than she chose to mention to anyone except for the people that already knew, and even then, she didn't talk about her mental illnesses, which her friends understood and complied with. After her mother left her, Katherine and George Walter took her in, having basically watched her grow up since Katherine and Lauren had known each other for as long as anyone remembered...until she up and left her only daughter behind that is. Nicolette moved in with them when she was nine and was practically raised alongside the Walter kids, as well as the Garcia boys when they moved in as well. She'd managed to get her life, and her mental illnesses, in order just when things in her life changed once more. Though this time it wasn't just her life, it was everyone's lives, especially a certain new girl coming from New York. •••♡︎♡︎♡︎••• OC(s) x My Life With The Walter Boys OC x Isaac Garcia •••♡︎♡︎♡︎••• DISCLAIMER !
