Victoria is Aurora’s younger sister. She can be vicious. She has the upper hand in most situations and she uses it to her advantage until she meets Collin. Then she falls for him and must prove she is not completely vapid.
George is engaged to Aurora they have known each other their whole lives. When he catches Lucy and Aurora in an alleyway kissing something inside of him flips a switch and he wants Lucy dead and will do anything to make that happen.

A student at the school Victoria goes to that Victoria falls for. He is from Ireland so an Irish accent is needed. Collin is an intellect. Never seen one without a book in his hands. And eventually comes to love Victoria very much.
Ernest Maine is the father of the two girls and the owner of the Maine Estate. Though his wife is the ruler of the house. Ernest is a jokester and doesn't take too much seriously except for his family and the people he cares about.
Anna Maine is very sweet but in her home is the head of the household. This is a bit unusual for this period but when you see the dynamic of this family it'll make sense. She is not mean or unkind the opposite she cares deeply for her family which is probably why she is so bossy.
