Tiana Angel Rose is the daughter to Eudora Rose, a popular seamstress, and fallen solider James Rose.
Tiana grew up in New Orleans and was one of the most hardworking and determined person the city knew. She set the boundaries high and her goal was to open up a restaurant in her name as this was both her and her father's dream; to cook the food they loved and share it with people they love and gain to love.
Her father passed when she was only 10, she never felt so lonely and lost in her life until that day. She even felt that pursuing her dream was useless since her father was not there to share it with her but her mother reminded the young girl how hard he worked. That one day they could share that dream together which was all young Tiana needed to get back into her diligent self.
Now at the blossoming age of 19, Tiana is fighting to get to the restaurant of her and her father's dream, with her mother at her side every step of the way and her cooking skills had developed just like she did. Over the years Tiana had maintained two friends who are like sisters to her till this day despite people thinking she is just a stick-in-the-mud.
Charlotte LaBouff is your all-out girlie girl with blonde hair and blue eyes with a bubbly (sometimes overbearing) personality to match. Now you may think that Tiana is very reserved person, how did she end up with a friend like Charlotte? Well her mother would sew little Charlotte's dresses and since then, their families become close and was there for each other when the respectable parent passed away.
Her other friend, Kiara Ashantia Williams, parents were killed when she was 8 by some racist men that were visiting the city. She was left an orphan but Eudora and James saw a frighten girl with no family and decided to adopt her, it was an easy decision since they all lived on the same street and knew each other for years as well as Tiana and Kiara playing with each other whenever they could. Ever since those papers were signed, those two have been inseparable even having people getting them confused as twins.
The fellow 19-year-old has rich dark skin with green to brown eyes alongside her shoulder length 4C hair and dimples to match. Even though she was wary around white people (men in particular), the LaBouff family made sure she felt as welcomed as Tiana was which completed the little trio of friends.
Currently, the three teen girls are at the LaBouff's large mansion, it being busier than usually since today is Miss Charlotte's 19th birthday and any party by the LaBouff's is bound to be crazy and larger than life. Everywhere you looked there was pink; pink chairs, pink cake, pink balloons. Everything. Is. Pink. You would think Tiana and Kiara should be used to it by now but it is just one of those things you just struggle to get over.
"Tia! Kia! Can you believe I am finally 19?! Ugh this party is going to be so amazing; everyone is coming and I cannot wait to show them our outfits!" Charlotte exclaimed as she flopped down onto her bed as the two girls followed slowly behind.
"Lottie, you already know we are going to look amazing as always and Tiana can finally let her hair down for a while." Kiara told her as she lightly shoved Tiana.
"Ha-ha. Very funny guys. You know I be working all the time trying to get money to get daddy's restaurant." Tiana replied before plopping down at Charlotte's dressing table. They still had another three hours until the party started so Tiana saw it was best to start getting ready.
Tiana wasn't one for parties, it was only on rare occasions you could get her out and today was one of those times, she had to be there for her friend. One thing about Tiana was that she is loyal to the people she loves and no one can ever question it. Now here she was sitting in front of a mirror wondering where to start.
"I wonder what daddy got me for my birthday... maybe a pink car or a pink pony. Maybe even a cute prince to match. Oh, how I can't wait to find my true love so we can get married and ride off into the sun set." The birthday girl was stuck in her own bubble she didn't even see the eye rolls in the room.
"Why would your dad buy you a prince? Isn't selling people illegal or something?" Kiara questioned in a humors tone. Tiana saw the conversation going nowhere so decided to intervene before Charlotte went on her rants.
"Lottie, don't you worry about your presents just think about getting dressed and looking all pretty in front of everyone. Besides what are the chance a prin-" before she could continue, there was a knock at the door and one the many servants came in.
"Miss LaBouff, your father wanted me to inform you that you have a special guest at your party tonight. Prince Naveen of Maldonia, he is docking in the next hour or so." With that, he left leaving all three girls' wide eyes and mouths left open before being pulled out of their shock by Charolett's infamous scream.
