Collide & Burn

James Laurent

• Background: A French businessman from a wealthy family, James grew up under the pressure of his harsh father after his parents' divorce. He stayed with his father, while his mother left with his younger sister. James was groomed to take over the family business, which has left him emotionally distant and focused solely on success.
• Personality: Confident, independent, and often guarded. He is determined, but his encounter with Lily brings out a vulnerability he's not used to confronting.
• Appearance: Tall and lean with sharp features, blue eyes, and dark brown hair. He carries himself with a quiet elegance and always dresses impeccably in tailored suits.
• Internal Conflict: Struggles with the weight of his family legacy and his growing feelings for Lily, which complicate his plans for his future.

Lily Asher

• Background: Originally from the Netherlands, Lily comes from a modest background and is dedicated to her studies. Raised by her mother after her parents' divorce, she is independent, focused on building her future, and doesn't let distractions get in her way.
• Personality: Intelligent, witty, and independent, Lily is practical but has a soft side when it comes to relationships. She's not afraid to speak her mind but also has a sensitive heart beneath her tough exterior.
• Appearance: Beautiful with a radiant smile, dark hair, and warm brown eyes. She prefers a modest yet fashionable style, often opting for casual but put-together looks.
• Internal Conflict: Torn between pursuing her own ambitions and her unexpected attraction to James, which forces her to confront emotions she doesn't usually let herself feel.
