Ivy Bright (21) :
Personality: Soft-hearted, bubbly, and endlessly optimistic, Ivy believes in kindness even when the world has shown her cruelty. She wears her smile like armor, determined to spread light despite her own pain. Her resilience is quiet but unyielding, and her compassion is her greatest strength. Ivy isn't naive — she sees the darkness in people — but she chooses to believe in the good anyway.
Massimo Vitalo (the leader) 29
Personality: Cold, calculating, and fiercely protective. He's authoritative and commands respect without raising his voice.
He has a quiet but unwavering sense of justice, especially when it comes to protecting those who can't protect themselves.
Role: The one who makes the decisions and ensures the family's survival. He's the one everyone looks to in a crisis.
Declan Vitalo (The Quiet One) 28
Personality: Reserved, observant, and thoughtful. Declan is a man of few words, but when he speaks, it carries weight. He prefers to hang back and watch rather than act impulsively. Some might mistake his silence for indifference, but he feels things deeply — he just doesn't show it.
Role: The strategist. He's the one who watches, listens, and plans.
Zayn Vitalo (The Charmer) 26
Personality: Playful, flirtatious, and charismatic. Zayn uses humor as a shield, deflecting tension with a smirk and a witty remark. He's the life of the party and the first to crack a joke, but underneath the charm is a deep well of loyalty and protectiveness.
Role: The negotiator and distraction. Zayn knows how to talk his way out of (and into) anything.
Jaxon Vitalo (The Enforcer) 25
Personality: Intimidating, ruthless, and fiercely loyal. Jaxon is the muscle of the group, unafraid to get his hands dirty when necessary. He has a short fuse and a protective streak that borders on violent when someone he cares about is threatened.
Role: The muscle. When things get ugly, Jaxon handles it.
Vale Vitalo (The Rebel) 23
Personality: Sharp-tongued, rebellious, and hot-headed. Vale is the youngest and feels the most disconnected from the others. He lashes out with sarcasm and snark, using his attitude to cover the hurt he's carried since childhood. He's quick to anger and slow to trust.
Ivy's kindness disarms him in ways that terrify him, making him lash out even more.
Role: The tech genius and infiltrator. Vale is a hacker and information broker, using his skills to dig up dirt and manipulate situations from behind the scenes.
