CHARACTERS

Elijah Zhū — 🌹 The Charmer 🌹

(I would have added a photo here but it failed to upload, it was not explicit but I suspect it’s too lifelike. TBA.)

Emelie Sinclair — 👠 Queen Bee 👠

“Some girls become popular; Emelie Sinclair simply always was. Between her family name and her quiet allure, nothing about her feels accidental.”

Perception: A social leader whose family name carries significant weight at the academy. Highly desired by her peers.

Hugh Alistair — 📋 The Principal 📋

(Photograph TBA.)

“Hugh Alistair wears authority with the ease of someone who has never questioned it. Even silence, in his presence, feels instructed.”

Perception: The academy's most powerful figure; well-respected for his effectiveness and feared for his absolute authority.
