MEET THE CHARACTERS
aNGELETTE aRABELLA
Daughter of the Tyrant • Torn Between Loyalty and Truth
Angelette Arabella was born into power—but never truly felt it. As the daughter of the nation’s beloved Chancellor, she’s lived under the watchful eye of cameras, guards, and curated public expectations her entire life. Outwardly calm and composed, Angelette navigates her world with quiet observation, rarely drawing attention to herself. But behind her piercing red eyes lies a storm of questions—and secrets.
With long, wavy black hair and a preference for casual clothes that blend comfort with quiet elegance, Angelette doesn’t dress to impress. She dresses to disappear. But when a disturbing truth about her father’s regime begins to unravel—along with whispers of forbidden magic—Angelette is forced to decide: remain the daughter of the most powerful man in the country, or risk everything to stand against him.
Her story is one of tension, silence, and the slow, burning pull of conscience. She was raised not to rebel—but some truths won’t stay buried.
vALERIUS aRABELLA
Supreme Leader • Architect of Order • Father of Shadows
To the public, Chancellor Valerius Arabella is the symbol of stability. A brilliant statesman, a visionary leader, and the man who brought peace and progress to a fractured nation. But behind his perfectly pressed suits and meticulously rehearsed speeches lies a much darker truth.
With short black hair, blood-red eyes, and an ever-present air of authority, Valerius doesn’t just command attention—he demands submission. He stands as if the world itself answers to him, his gaze cool and judgmental, his voice slow and deliberate, almost surgical in how it cuts. Even with his daughter, Angelette, there is no warmth—only precision and expectation.
Those who oppose him don’t simply vanish. They are sent to “re-education,” stripped of will, and remolded into obedient citizens. He believes control is kindness and that fear is necessary to preserve order.
Valerius Arabella doesn’t see himself as the villain. He sees himself as the only one brave enough to do what must be done.
iVAN aRABELLA
The Quiet Strategist • Firstborn Son of the Tyrant
Iven Arabella isn’t the loudest voice in the room—but he’s often the smartest. The firstborn son of Chancellor Valerius, Iven grew up under the same pressure and scrutiny as his siblings, but instead of chasing strength or status, he turned inward. Books became his allies. Knowledge, his armor. While others trained or commanded, Iven observed—and remembered.
With sharp green eyes and bright blond hair, Iven cuts a striking but unassuming figure. He prefers clean, comfortable clothing with a hint of polish—just enough to reflect his upbringing, but never loud enough to invite attention. He’s often seen with a book in hand or standing off to the side, reading people as easily as he reads text.
Where his brother Ives might leap into action, Iven chooses to analyze, to plan, and to uncover truths hidden beneath the surface. He understands the cost of disobedience in their family—and the danger of seeing too much.
But in a world ruled by control, sometimes the mind is the most dangerous weapon of all.
iVES aRABELLA
The Reckless Twin • Second Son of the Tyrant
Where Iven watches, Ives charges.
Ives Arabella is the younger twin of Iven—but you'd never guess it by the way he moves through the world. Athletic, outspoken, and impulsive, Ives is a force of nature, wrapped in casual athletic wear and an ever-present look of defiance. With bright blonde hair, sharp green eyes, and a restless energy that rarely fades, he’s always looking for the next problem to solve—preferably with his fists.
Unlike his brother, Ives doesn’t wait to be asked. He jumps headfirst into conflict, unafraid to speak his mind even when it puts him in danger. That same boldness, though, makes him both a liability and a rare kind of threat in a regime that values silence over sincerity.
He may not be the strategic twin, but Ives’s loyalty runs deep—and when it comes to protecting his sister or standing against injustice, he’s more dangerous than anyone gives him credit for.
Some problems need brains. Others require a blunt instrument.
sCARLETT aRABELLA
Minister of Foreign Affairs • Mother of Fire • The First to See Through the Lies
Scarlett Arabella may wear the title of Minister, but she has always considered her most important role to be that of a mother. Fierce, fiery, and unflinchingly loyal to those she loves, Scarlett was never content to be a silent figurehead in her husband’s regime. While Valerius led with fear, Scarlett led with conviction—and when she uncovered the truth behind his lies, it changed everything.
With long, flowing blonde hair and vivid green eyes, Scarlett is the mirror from which her twin sons inherited their striking features. But where her beauty is soft, her spirit is sharp. Scarlett’s words cut when needed, her presence commands a room, and her loyalty—to truth, to justice, to her children—runs deeper than any political tie.
Though she once stood at Valerius’s side, Scarlett has become the quiet heartbeat of resistance. Her courage is not always loud, but it is unwavering.
She was the first to see the cracks in the Chancellor’s perfect image. And she may be the first to help bring it down.
