”They know nothing of my face or of my lies
But I will be the last thing they see,
Before they die."

* A bounty hunter or assassin. You pay for it, she’ll do it. She is more commonly referred to and known as Beetle.
* 19 years old. Born under the sign of Libra. 5’6"
* Beatrice was a victim of the human trafficking that is occurring within the kingdom. She had been captured at a young age alongside her family. With luck and the sacrifice of her family, Beatrice was able to escape but she was unable to go back to her regular life. Full of grief and determination, she fought for her right to survive, eventually attracting the attention of a fellow bastard who would become her mentor on how to survive in a world that didn’t exactly want them.
* She’s skilled with most weapons and crafty. Perhaps even strong enough to stand as an equal to some of the queen’s guards.
* Preferred choice of weapon is a sword. She doesn’t have the best aim but occasionally uses daggers if her job demands it. Terrible with a bow though.

”I can’t repair something that is destroyed,
So instead, I will build something completely new
For me and you."

* 30 year old man. Capricorn. Previously worked with underground trade. Now focused on being a healer. 6’0”.
* Nicknames include Ace and Atti. Atti was a term used lovingly by his wife but has now become a name used to mock Atticus.
* He was formerly married to a woman named Beth, whom he loved dearly. She died during child birth and he sunk into a depression.
* Atticus was once a man who was feared almost as equally as the Queen. He was no stranger to getting his hands dirty and often supported his sisters in their endeavors. He never had any lust for complete power so he never challenged his eldest sister for the throne. Instead, he merely enjoyed his position.
*Violence is long behind Atticus. After losing Beth, he had stopped partaking in such things and focused his attention to his daughter, Cleo. By doing this, he distanced himself from his siblings.
* Atticus has become the healer of the castle. He dabbles in medicine now.

“Something horrid lies in the dark
So tell me your lies
While my soft whispers turn into cries"

* 10 year old girl. Virgo. Very small and fragile physically but not emotionally.
* As the young daughter of Atticus, Cleo grew up in a very sheltered environment. However, Cleo is a very sharp girl and catches on to things rather quickly, even if her father is blind to it. She knows there is something wicked that lives in the castle and also understands that in the past her father was apart of it.
* She’s wise for her age and due to this can be quite manipulative.
* Cleo is a blank slate despite her knowledge. She has yet to figure out where her place will be in the castle and whether she will fall in line behind her aunts.

Long before I came to be
Freedom is unknown to me."

*Due to his family’s proud name, Oliver is often treated with high regard and respect from both peers and commoners. His family has a deep lying loyalty to the royal family.
*Oliver is rather skilled for his age. He’s been training with a sword since the age of 13. His father and older brother were his mentors.
*Oliver doesn’t agree what is happening within the kingdom but both his pride and training prevents him from rebelling.
* Despite his loyalty to the royals and the law, he tends to be a protector of the commoners (at least as much as he can be) by showing them mercy, kindness and defending them from some of his more aggressive comrades.

Fools forget about sheep in wolf’s clothing.
They aren't dangerous. They are clever."

*Wide knowledge of plants. Bit of a herbalist.
