Backstory:
A Filipino, her parents and her six siblings are back in her home country. Her father is in the hospital and she is the only one with work, despite the fact that she is not the eldest child. Her eldest brother is a layabout drunk, which makes her despise drunkards. Her older sister is also deep in debt and it makes her wary of borrowing money from other people.

Rebecca Gales – Female Scottish

Backstory:
Of Scottish descent, her parents were professors and taught at a university which led to her being a teacher later on in life. As a child, she was the shy sort and admired Ashton because of his cool nature which soon developed into a crush. She came out of her shell in her high school years and became the spitfire that she is today. But, because of this, her former insecurities have turned into bouts of terrible jealousy, especially towards Isabella when she thinks Ashton may find interest in her. Her once bookish nature shines, every now and then, and is most evident with her being a History teacher.

But, what do I know?”

Backstory:
A former Irish architect who lost her studio during the economic crisis, Marianne moved to England searching for new career opportunities. She was lucky, and soon started working for many upper-class British families as an interior designer. She originally came from a very poor Catholic family, and studied under a scholarship at a prestigious & exclusive all-girls school. Because she was poor, she had to endure mockery and insecurity from her wealthy classmates, and had to struggle on her way up the social ladder.

Nouveau riche and British, Luke worked and fought hard to be where he is today. As a child, he was the illegitimate son to an entrepreneur and a prostitute.

Sure, he didn’t always play fair nor did he play by the rules and laws but he was sure he deserved everything he got, no matter what other people said.

Context: Incapacitating a guy with a weapon.

03: “Look at you, brave little man with a scary gun. But, see how you are without it. Why, you’re all just bark and no bite.”
