Annette
by maidenbell23
Annette is the mother of the main character Serene. At 47 years old, she is a seemingly well kept together woman. Is big on appearances and keeping most of her private life secret. Has a good paying job, but is a high end narcissist. Is good at playing victim and tearing apart everyone around her, especially Serene. Serene has no contact with Annette, but Annette still tries to force herself into her life and let's everyone who will listen know how ungrateful she believes her daughter is even though she had inflicted massive amounts of mental and emotional trauma. Very hateful person when confronted. Quick to cry when faced with facts. Victim mentality through and through. Always places her problems above everyone elses.

Henry
by maidenbell23
Henry is a 26 year old male who used to shop at the store Serene worked. They ended up becoming friends in passing but hang out on occasion. Always lends an ear to listen and shows up whenever she needs him. Is autistic and doesn't understand social cues well, but always puts her thoughts and feelings on the front runner. Has a very lovely girlfriend and has a very dry sense of humor, but is valued deeply by Serene. Likes to go on car rides and ships the relationship between Serene and Toby even before thet both know it. Kind, caring, considerate, but mostly into himself kind of guy. Hangs out with only select few individuals.

Mika
by maidenbell23
Ends up the boy bestfriend of the main character Serene. Mika, age 20, has also known nothing but hardship and trauma. They met at work and trauma bonded, but Mika has a very hard time trusting people just like Serene. Wasn't entirely sure about her at first but quickly warmed up to her and realized just how genuine she was and just how much he needed genuine in his life. Struggles with substance and alcohol abuse, but tries not to make himself anyone elses problem. Big into making music and art in the form of his clothing style. Is trying to make something for himself but has no solid direction and is terrified of most human interactions. Wants love, but rejects the idea of it entirely. Ready to fight at a moments notice, but also ready to lend an ear, or to give a helpful distraction when necessary. Enjoys living life on the edge, spontaneously as possible. Loves long walks at night that lead to random adventures including in abandoned buildings/asylums.

Valerie
by maidenbell23
Valerie is the main characters bestfriend. Very bubbly personality to people she knows, very unapproachable to those she does not. Will protect herself by any means necessary but when she cares about you will protect you even above her own well being. Always supporting even if she doesn't necessarily agree. Tries to be present as much as possible but struggles with her own life problems as well. Single mother to one beautiful daughter, and learning to navigate the world and her emotions as the world has not been kind to either her or Serene. Bonding in the broken visage of life. Tries to find beauty in things but has a hard time seeing it in herself.

Rouge
by maidenbell23
Rouge is a 23 year old man, very wealthy, and very big on appearances. Wears high-end products only and is seen as a generally well centered person. Is the ex of the main character Serene, and is a high end narcissist. Is only interested in keeping her caged and making her into a version that he can control and contain. Is big on mental and emotional manipulation. Very good around a computer, but terrible communicator with people in general. Off the grid persona, so hard to know in any standard. Big insecurities that he masks by hiding away from the general public, but isn't afraid to make himself know as a means of mental torture to the main character. Seemed entirely lovely in the beginning, but is actually very calculated, cruel, and vindictive.

Toby
by maidenbell23
Toby is a shy boy age 21, that has known nothing but solitude his whole life. Big into video games and PC playing, but very shy and into himself. Creative and loves things like skateboarding, snowboarding, and loves collectible items from his favorite shows/movies/animes. A simple man with simple delights, but the one thing he craves for..yearns for, is intimacy. Connection, love, and understanding. Yet doesn't know how to move out of his own way. Is in love with the main character but doesn't know how to express himself. Watches happily from a distance but does what he can to start conversations and close the space. Remains close to the main character in utter longing. Eventually opens up enough to be brave enough to approach her and hopes she will notice him enough to know that the love shes always deserved is right before her, in him. Will he shy away? Or will he be brave enough to tell her what's in his heart? Has known Serene since childhood, but neither one of them has a clue until the first time they hang out and a conversation strikes a set of memories that makes them realize who they are to each other.

Serene
by maidenbell23
Serene (pronounced sir-een) is the main character and has known nothing but hardship. When it comes to life, family, friendship, love. Naturally a lover girl by nature, her kindness has been taken advantage of at no limit. She pours her all into people to not have anything left for herself at the end of the day. She feels as if shes the joke in her own life story. Good at many things like singing, dancing, art, cooking, the art of communication; is a very skilled worker at anything she puts her mind at, she doesn't actually have a focus. She tries to learn whatever she can while also keeping distant from other people. Yet believes in the magic and wonder of the world. Has turned pain into beauty and positivity despite her hardships, but trust is extremely hard to come by for her. Something that everyone craves, but no one ever commits. She feels as if she will be alone, but hopelessly craving that one true love connection. Just never actually having hope in finding it. Struggles with alcohol abuse due to her overwhelming mental state of borderline personality disorder, eventually turns away from substances, and into enjoying the simple things. Isn't aware that the person shes been looking for since childhood is right infront of her, and convinces herself for a long time he doesn't actually like her (Toby).

Marsha
by maidenbell23
The ex girlfriend of Lenix. The one he used to burn for, until he burned to brightly with love; and she turned away following it with nothing but distance. Shows up at the art show they try to host and takes notice of his artwork again. Typical victim mentality underneath a secretly devious interior. Only wants things she cant have and tends to destroy the things that want her. Wants Lenix back by any means necessary, even if that means teaming up with Lexica to try and get the last laugh. Dangerous, deadly, devious, disastrous. All in a very petite can do no harm looking exterior. Also comes from a wealthy background.

Lexica
by maidenbell23
The ex to the main character. The one who almost utterly destroyed her. A wealthy man, good at many things especially computers. One thats good at playing pretend but always has wicked and ulterior motives. High end narcissist. Intoxicating beautiful, but only causes overwhelming detriment and anxiety wherever he goes. When the facade starts to fail, he turns from intelligent, level headed guy; to a childish, cold, and cruel tyrant of a character. Big on mental and emotional manipulation.

Talia
by maidenbell23
The main character of the story, lost in the beginning to emotions and alcohol, stumbles upon a world of chaos and beauty. Will she turn to the magic of his heart? Or run away out of fear from the darkness in his soul?

Misuki
by maidenbell23
Seemingly golden retriever energy to those he loves, but entirely stone wall to those he does not know. In love with the main character, but unable to share his love, finds himself obsessively captivated with her and finds himself in a sort of love triangle. Where hes forced into a corner to profess his love or forever be haunted by his silence.

Mina
by maidenbell23
Beautifully bubbly bestfriend of the main character. Tries to be present for her bestfriend but is always caught between her life and responsibilities. Always gives solid advice, but also seemingly runs into trouble a lot herself.

Lenix
by maidenbell23
Artist by day, chaotic neutral by night. Knows how to capture the beauty in every moment whether it be to trace on a paper, or everlasting in your skin. Quiet by nature, but playful in spirit when around the right person. Tortured soul looking for love and redemption in the eyes of a lover. Never knowing love, but craving for connection. Keeping a distance, but when enticed, closing the space and claiming ownership of whats there.
