Taehyun Yi|21|Prince of South Korea|FC Chagmin Shim
Being the only son in the South Korean royal family, Taehyun knew he had a lot to live up to. Not that anyone would let him forget that if it had ever slipped his mind. His father is a great king as was his father before him. Both were responsible for great advances made by their country and Taehyun has gotten used to the idea of living in their shadows. He thinks he’ll be a good king, but he’s accepted that he won’t be the best.
Despite his slightly pessimistic outlook, Taehyun has always been very competitive with others of his age. He might not be able to match his father or his grandfather, but he won’t be beaten by anyone else. Much like his sister, Minjung, he thrived under the private tutelage he was provided with. Mediocrity was never accepted from him. Not by his tutors, not by his parents, and not by himself.
Taehyun’s personality is a far cry from his younger sister’s sunny disposition. He’s shrewd, calculating, and in general he doesn’t much care about other people. Part of this is due to his introverted nature, but another part of it is due to the way others have treated him over the years. There was always someone who wanted something from him because of his title. He was well aware of that fact and only once, to disastrous ends, did he let himself forget that. Behind his perfect manners and pleasant smile is a snarky, biting wit. Those who manage to get past Taehyun’s wall will find a steadfast and loyal friend. Few they might be, he is extremely protective of those he cares about. Minjung is the best example of this. The reason he convinced his parents to send him to Ivory rose was so that he could look after her.
In a world where monarchs still rule their lands, lies a school where children of royals are sent to learn. Ivory Rose Academy is a school for princes, princess, dukes and duchesses. they are taught how to govern, speak, how to act accordingly in public and the history of their beloved land. just like any school it is filled with cliques, friends, enemies, scandals, and lovers. their parents still have some control in the young royals lives whether they choose to acknowledge it or not.

Daphne Fitzroy | 20 | Duchess of Angoulême, France | House of Pear | FC Felicity Jones |TAKEN |
Anything she wanted was given to her and without even the mildest of consideration. Daphne hated the rich lifestyle that she grew up in. Most would think that she was crazy, but the girl found luxuries to be overwhelming. She enjoyed the simple things life had to offer; the sun rising and setting, the sound of laughter being carried in the wind, and the feeling of the wind kissing her cheek in the summer air. Daphne’s life was a blessing, she knew that, and though she might enjoy the simpler things she never took what she had for granted. It was just that materialistic ideals were never once hers.
Growing up, Daphne excelled in school mainly because she loved to read and write. She knew a lot of random facts that often helped her with a wide variety of subjects that she had to take as she moved up in levels of her education. Her parents were proud of her and often showed her off; saying that they had the perfect daughter and she would turn out to be something great. There was always pressure on the young girl’s shoulders. Mostly it was caused by herself putting the weight of everything she did on her slim frame. Too stubborn to ask for help when she needed it, always choosing to do things on her own, it was in her opinion the only way that the task would be accomplished to everyone’s standards. Daphne felt that everything she did was expected of her, but she never desired it. Constant hours spent slaving over her father and mother’s estates, keeping the financial system in check, while trying to manage a social life. Daphne never had that many friends, she was always too busy planning events, attending her uncle’s and aunt’s, the King and Queen of France, galas and parties. Her life was work, family, and down time, all in that order. When she wasn’t busying herself with different organizations or helping her father and mother run a dukedom she was spending time with her three cousins, Hannah, Auguste, and Audrey, trying to hold onto what little relationships she had.
Daphne had a friend outside of her family, a boy she had met her Junior year of high school who transferred to the Parisian-posh school that she attended. His name was Trevor Burgundy, a millionaire’s son whose life revolved around the party scene. People never understood how the two of the became friends. She was the bookworm who was constantly focused on school, he was the party guy who was known to become so pissed (drunk) that he could never remember the night before. But, the two balanced each other out. Trevor taught Daphne how to loosen up, she wouldn’t allow herself to become hammered, only one drink and not on a school night, and she was able to teach him the value of an education. It was almost as if they were meant to find one another, help the other realize that you can’t just have one thing without the other, there had to be a balance in your life or else you might just drive yourself mad. Just a year of friendship had already started to relieve the pressure Daphne put on herself. She realized how unhealthy it was, that she was only causing herself harm by taking on too many tasks and not asking for help than good.
It was the end of her senior year, there was only a week left until finals and they would be graduating just a few days later, that she noticed his absence. In the past he was known for skipping school, his hangovers being too much to handle, but he really had started changing for the better that she grew worried about him when he didn’t show up for school. She texted him and called, but there was no answer. Daphne thought she was only just exaggerating the situation, overly worried like she always was that she just convinced herself he was hungover. But when a week passed and he still wasn’t there she grew even more worried. Stopping by his house to see if he was alright, his parents were never home so they weren’t much help, even getting her father to have one of his agents/bodyguards look into where he was. A little more than a week later they found Trevor’s body in the English channel, he died of drowning due to heavy toxication in his blood stream. Daphne was a mess when she found out the news, but she knew she had to put on a brave face. She started to revert back to her normal habits. Focusing on her studies, her commitments, her family, she thought that if she could busy herself she wouldn’t have to think of the loss of her dear friend, wouldn’t have to feel the pain that came with a loss. Everything she did somewhat worked, but there was always that gnawing feeling in her stomach whenever she thought back to her last days of high school. Daphne is quiet, preferring the company of her studies over trying to socialize at parties. She really only hangs out with her cousins, and finds it hard to let people who aren’t her blood into her life. She did that before and she lost them, she wasn’t going to be that attached to someone ever again. It is her first year at Ivory Rose Academy. Her parents thinking it would be best for her to be around her family, and they hoped that she would be able to make relationships with the other royals, but it isn’t so easy. Stuck in a place with her cousins as her friends, surrounded by at least a good education system, Daphne tries to continue on the life she has found to be her comfort zone, knowing that is might just be the only life she leads.
Benedicto “Ben” Romero | 22 | Prince of Spain | FC Tom Welling | OPEN |
When you’re born in to a family of modern day royalty you get used to special treatment. And Ben Romero was no different. It is easy to assume that being handed everything, having a father that is the King of Spain and who couldn’t forget about a face like his that drove the girls insane that he would be pretentious individual who expected life to be handed to him on a silver spoon. But, that assertion is far from the type of guy Ben is. Granted he isn’t a saint, what with his constant partying habits, hooking up with whoever he wants, but he doesn’t expect the world to revolve around him. The future King of Spain doesn’t seem to know just how much of an influence he can be on those around him. His people look to him to be an example to everyone, yet he doesn’t seem to grasp the concept. He feels that he isn’t king yet so why does he have to be this role model to everyone? He wants to enjoy his fleeting youth while he has the chance, who knows how long this will last before his father and mother pull the plug on everything he does. For the past two years, Ben has been under the radar when it comes to his parents. Their focus on their daughter, who they had hoped would marry the future King of England and secure that throne for them, but that plan didn’t work out. The young English prince called off the marriage and his family has been trying to pick up the pieces of that mess and secure another throne for their family. The Spanish royals have always been power hungry, looking for any possible match to raise their status, increase their land, and by any means.
His parents have seen the way that girls stare at their son, seeing the advantage in having a good looking son who is eligible. Ben is now a pawn in his parents plan to secure land, alliances, and anything else with other countries. Everything Ben had known, his friends, the places he visited, were ripped out from under him. His parents no longer looking over everything with a blind eye, but now focusing on him like a hawk that is after its prey. Ben has had to clean up his act, no more parties, no more one night stands, he had to be seen as the future King of Spain and not some spoiled rich kid. Pushed into charity events, galas, and meetings with his father’s advisors, Ben can already feel his youth slipping through his fingers faster than he would want it to.
Ben has spent all this time building up his image for the public, making him out to be the kind hearted guy that is under the layers of press about him partying. It is a complete transformation from the guy he once was only 5 months ago. No longer are nights spent out in the wee hours of the morning at clubs, well most of them, but now he is found traveling on his father’s behalf for different engagements. He has been gone from Ivory Rose for around a year, people would hardly recognize the young, dapper man they now see in front of them. People question if his change is truly sincere, that he really has given up the parties and the girls. Only his time at ivory will reveal if he really is ready to give up his adventure filled life or will he enjoy another year of the bliss before reparations are met.
This week I will be working on bios for Felicity Jones, Kristen Stewart, Taissa Farmiga, and David Tennant. I’ll be working as fast as I can on these, it just depends on the amount of inspiration I have to quickly get these accomplished. Many other bios are in my drafts and once I get these done I am going to focus on characters that are already open, but are in serious need of a re-vamp. If you are interested in a particular face claim just send me a message about it and I can see what I can do. Will close requests for face claims this Friday, because I need to spend more time on already open characters.
Amanda Wilson | 22 | Lady of Scotland | FC Kate Mara | OPEN |
Amanda always had to work hard throughout her life. Her parents never gave her anything they didn’t think she needed or she deserved to get. They thought spending money on luxurious things that they didn’t need was just ridiculous, who needs luxury when you have the world around you. You call Amanda’s life one that was spent out on the Scottish country side, hair blowing throw her long locks with just acres of luscious green land for miles. That is where the true wealth lied in her parents’ eyes. It was in the people, the land, the earth, not in some jewels, fancy attire or other valuable things. Her family tree is not one that is filled with wealthy barons, baronesses, ladies, lords or any other tiles of nobility. The Wilson line is filled of farmers, shepherds, and tradesmen. These were people who worked day and night to earn a living, built them selves up from the straps of their shoes and managed to make a name for themselves.
It was maybe around a hundred years ago that her family became Lord and Ladies, one of her male ancestors saved a young Lady’s life while she was out riding her horse. The father of the Lady was entirely in that young man’s debt that he had his daughter marry him, thus how the Wilson family was able to have a title to their name. Amanda understands the value of a dollar, how it shouldn’t be just spent on anything and that it should go towards things you either need and not want or towards those who truly need it.
Amanda has lived her entire life on the country side in Scotland. She has grown up with those who do not have a title to their name, but are exactly what her ancestors were. Though her family does have the nicest home around those parts, her family always welcomes those who are in need of a place to stay and is always working with the community. Her years of schooling have been spent off at a St. George’s School for Girls in Edinburg, Scotland (a boarding school), later going to attend college at Cardonald College. Amanda now finds herself attending Ivory Rose Academy upon her family’s wishes. Amanda is already good with the people of her land, it was now time that she was able to associate with lords, ladies, dukes, duchesses, and future kings and queens. While some parents tend to send their children to Ivory for a possible marriage, that isn’t the case with Amanda. She is already married, and only seeks to establish friendships with those around her.
Relationship Status: Married
Minjung Yi 20 Princess of South Korea |FC Taeyeon Kim| TAKEN |
Background: Being the only daughter in the South Korean royal family led to Minjung having a very sheltered life. In her parent’s eyes she was the flower of the family and she was raised to be as such. This meant perfect etiquette, a sweet disposition, and humility were a must. Minjung thrived under the private tutelage that her parents provided for her and her older brother, Taehyun. Despite expectations she took a keen interest in the political realm and had a quick mind for foreign relations. Due to this her parents thought it would be a wise decision to send her to Ivory Rose. Their hopes were that she could extend her personal network and, by extension, South Korea’s prestige. The flower of the family is now expected to be the flower of South Korea.
Minjung is excited to finally leave South Korea and see the world. While she knows she has to maintain a proper image for her country and her family she is anticipating the new connections she’ll make and new opportunities she’ll have. She is especially looking forward to the opportunity to make friends her own age as she has never met any of the other royal families before. She is ready to take on Ivory Rose and make a name for herself. Knowing that her parents would happily arrange a marriage for her with a more powerful country, she is almost desperate to prove herself as an asset for South Korea. She wants to see the world, but South Korea is still her home.
Because of her sheltered upbringing, Minjung is rather naïve. While she excels in dealing with people in an official setting she struggles with people on a more personal level. She sometimes does not realize when she is making a social error. Despite her social clumsiness she genuinely wants to make friends and has a good heart.
Lesley Gallagher | 19 | Princess of Ireland | FC: Deborah Ann Woll |TAKEN
Lesley is the youngest princess out of the House of Gallagher. For most of her childhood, she has lived in the shadow of her charismatic, charming older sister Briana. Having always compared herself to her sister and to other princesses, Lesley picked up low self-esteem. Her parents allowed her to be to tutored in the Irish countryside instead of making her enroll into Ivory Rose Academy. Lesley finally enrolled into the academy last year looking noticeably gorgeous and grown up. She found herself awkward in social situations and naive, usually staying by the side of her sister Briana and her other siblings that she trusts. Last year, Lesley fell hard for Antony Petrov, and he for her. Innocence and corruption, underage and twenty-three years old—all of their opposites attracted. Unfortunately, relationships like this don’t end without the softer one getting a few emotional scars, even if Antony didn’t mean to cause her any. Lesley’s mother and father have warned her to stay away from men of bad influence. They forgot to mention women of bad influence, for this year Lesley has made an unlikely friend: Angelina Petrova, the most conniving girl at school. Lesley is the youngest princess of Ireland, third in line to the throne. Unlike her older siblings, Lesley was educated in Ireland, one on one with a tutor. She grew up in her sisters shadow, and as a result she has very low self esteem. Lesley is a nice girl, but is often socially awkward in most situations, and will rarely start conversations with people she does not know. For a little while at Ivory she mainly spent time with her older sister Briana, and her friends – until she met Antony Petrov. He was the last person that anyone expected Lesley to fall for, but despite the countless differences they fell hard for each other. Things did not end well for either of them, they had a fight and ended things. Lesley ended up with the majority of emotional scars after the break up –and as a result she returned to Ireland to recover. She could not stay in a place where she would be reminded of him every day.
Upon her return, she was a slightly different girl. Still shy, but she had gained a little of that fire and stubbornness that her father was famous for. For a while she was happy, and cheerful and she began to feel like herself again. But then Tony returned to Ivory, and after her birthday the pair began casually seeing each other again. Soon enough though, they dove in head first and left for a private island during spring break. They were happy again, like they had never broken up at all. Until Tony abandoned her on the island. Lesley was devastated, and blamed herself for getting back together with him. She didn’t find out until later that he left her for what he thought was a good reason. Even with Tony’s precautions, she was still kidnapped – along with Tony’s sister Angelina.
She came back from Russia, stronger. Or at least she felt like she was. She would be left with the small scar on her cheek forever, as a reminder of her mistake. If she hadn’t given Tony a second chance she could have spared herself this pain. She kept to herself, seeking comfort with family – struggling with nightmares, and still dealing with the hurt of Tony leaving her again. After some time alone to heal, and quite a few sleeping pills she started being social again. Of course being social, meant that she would clash with Tony again. She was fully aware of the effect he had on her, she thought herself strong enough to fight it. She needed to break the addiction. It was harder than she thought, and after one drunken encounter which left her with some scars – she tried harder to fight him off. The end of year party was an all-time low for her, she had a few too many and watched Tony beat up two guys – one of whom was her close friend. And she still left with him. But that was nothing compared to what she said after to her close friends. She didn’t deserve forgiveness for what she said, they were horrible things. Everyone was telling her not to think about it, she was drunk and therefore she wasn’t herself. But she still felt guilty. The next morning the full weight of her actions settled on her. Her father was furious, and sentenced her to spend the summer in Ireland- and possibly never go back to Ireland. Lesley knew she deserved her punishment, so she didn’t complain. She knew her family just wanted what was best for her, and she clearly didn’t know what that was. She said her goodbyes to everyone, even to Tony – and they parted on good terms. She was estatic that he still loved her, but if she mentioned it to her family they would hunt him down wherever he was and have him killed. Or at least that’s what she pictured in her mind.
Over the summer Lesley tried to better herself. Even if she felt better, she still needed to heal. Maybe Tony’s last words to her would help her do that. The majority of the summer she spent in Ireland, but she had a few visitors. Most of them were family, but some students came to visit her. She did convince her father to allow her to leave and see a few Olympic events with her family – but her guards were well informed about Tony and if he was spotted anywhere she would be rushed back to Ireland. At the end of the summer, her father lectured her again for a few hours – and permitted her to return to Ivory. Lesley is returning to Ivory and looks at it as a fresh start. She would not take it for granted this year, and would be primarily focusing on her studies. She would try her very best not to make any rash decisions like she did last year. The last year had torn her apart, and over the summer she had healed and felt truly like Lesley again. She couldn’t wait to go back to Ivory and see all of her friends again.
