Character Sheet
Okay, for all of you wondering who some of these characters are, I made a character sheet before I started writing this story, but was unsure whether I should have posted it or not. Now, I believe it will help explain the story better. Also, it will help explain different aspects of the original characters that I am hoping to develop in this story. So, for all you eager readers, here it is.
Friends
Duke and Viola you already know, and I haven't really thought of any aspect of their personality to develop that isn't already shown very well in the movie
Sebastian Hastings-a musician, he's supposed to be at Illyria and he's a very accomplished liar/hider due to his years of skipping. His lyrics are heart-felt, and he and Viola will use particular songs to communicate about a particular memory they wouldn't be able to talk about out loud (this will be explained in later chapters)
Olivia Lennox-Illyria senior, debutante-to-be, wealthy, smart, and kind. However, when pressed, she can be cold, calculating, and ruthless, which will come in handy with Duke and Viola's troubles.
Paul Antonio-skilled stylist, make-up artist, and fashion consultant (hobby). Whatever the disguise or act you need to pull off, given the proper amount of time and incentive (hard cash), he can arrange it.
Kia and Yvonne-Paul's partners in "crime", as it were. Athletic, sexy, and very good actresses, they make for great diversions.
Malachi Tembledor-Duke's bodyguard and loyal friend since he was six. Duke views him as the older brother he never had, and since Duke has to prove himself, he can't assist him unless the situation is severely life-threatening. But it does mean he can look after Viola.
Enemies
Carlos and Justin Drayton-Justin is self-explanatory. Carlos is Justin's father, and after Daphne Hasting's divorce, she doesn't have enough money saved to pay off an old debt. So Carlos is blackmailing her into having Viola go out with Justin, and is pushing towards a marriage. Then he can get his hands on the Hastings' money, and finally try and expose the Orsinos' side job…even though his is much worse.
Monique Valentine-Sebastian's girlfriend (for now), she's snobbish, clingy, and very pretty. She gets what she wants, and when she doesn't, she ruins it for everyone else. No matter what the consequence.
Playing Both Sides
Julian and Sophie Kowalski-assigned by Carlos Drayton to watch Viola and her brother, they are very good bodyguards as well as skilled assassins. They've been doing his dirty work for years, all in hopes of getting out and living their own lives, quite like Duke and Viola. Carlos keeps a close eye on them, knowing that any second they could turn on him.
