The Arabella's
Angelette Arabella
Angelette is a young girl defined by innocence, curiosity, and deep loyalty to her family. She has been raised in luxury but remains naive to the darker truths surrounding her father's rule. Despite her privileged life, she is kind-hearted and seeks love and validation from those around her, particularly her father. However, as she starts uncovering secrets, she faces a moral struggle between loyalty and truth. Her intelligence and emotional depth make her perceptive, but her sheltered upbringing leaves her vulnerable to manipulation.
Valerius Arabella
Valerius is a master manipulator and authoritarian ruler, controlling not only his nation but also his family with an iron grip. He is highly intelligent, cunning, and calculating, always thinking several steps ahead. He presents himself as a devoted father, but his love is conditional—rooted in control rather than genuine affection. Valerius is ruthless and pragmatic, willing to use psychological tactics, fear, and even staged events to ensure absolute loyalty. He is a man who values power above all else, seeing people, including his own children, as pawns in his greater scheme.
Iven Arabella
Iven is the more reserved and strategic twin, often acting as the voice of reason between himself and Ives. He is highly intelligent, observant, and calculating, much like his father, but lacks Valerius’s cold-hearted ambition. Unlike Ives, who is more openly rebellious, Iven operates with careful thought, understanding that defying their father requires patience and planning. He loves his sister deeply and tries to shield her from harsh realities, though he knows she will eventually have to face the truth about their family.
Ives Arabella
Ives is one of Angelette’s twin brothers and is more emotionally expressive than his twin, Iven. He has a protective nature toward Angelette but is also impulsive and quick to react when faced with danger or injustice. He struggles with the expectations placed upon him by his father, and unlike Iven, he wears his emotions on his sleeve. Ives values freedom and is more willing to take risks. He cares deeply for his family but is unwilling to sit idly by when he sees wrongdoing.
Scarlet Arabella
Scarlett was once fully devoted to Valerius, believing in his leadership and standing by his side. However, as she uncovered the darker truths of his rule, she began to resist, leading to her eventual downfall. She is strong-willed and intelligent, with a deep sense of morality that ultimately clashed with Valerius’s control. As a mother, she deeply loved her children, but her increasing defiance put her at odds with the life she once embraced. Her role in the story is one of tragedy—someone who was once a believer but chose to fight back when she could no longer ignore the truth.
