Cloé doesn’t need to try, she simply is. Some people claw for attention, but for her, it’s effortless. She walks into a room, and eyes turn. She speaks, and people listen. Charisma isn’t something she learned,
it’s something she breathes.
But for all the energy she gives to the world, there’s always the ringing. A constant hum in her ears, a phantom of every bass drop, every night spent drowning in sound. And just like she trusts the beat, she trusts people too quickly, too deeply. It’s a dangerous way to live, but what’s life without a little risk

Ianthe knows how she comes across. She's weak and harmless, yet fun and pretty enough for people to loose their lips around. She plays into it often in order to get people on her side. By far the most devilish part of her facade is that she is usually genuinely concerned.

Allena is, often times, a crass and spiteful individual. The biggest exception being when she's trying to get something out of someone at which point she becomes soft and kind, she knows too well how to appeal to people. She just often doesn't care enough to do so, to her the truth of the matter is is that she doesn't feel the same things people do, the joy, the love, the hate. To her it's a cold breeze passing by, this... apathy is also the cause of her shadow's manifestation, it is the emptiness in her heart given form. And now, Allena has filled that hole with fake feelings. Feelings that don't mean anything to her, yet she still uses them.
