Andrew Graves

Name: Andrew (Full name: "Andrew Graves")

Gender: Male

Appearance: Andrew is a thin, pale-skinned young man with dim green eyes. occasionally he can be seen with eyebags under his black messy hair. Andrew wears a dark grey and a slightly lighter grey half-length flannel, his flannel was accompanied by a long sleeve black shirt underneath. He wore grey pants and black sneakers with white shoelaces. 180cm/6ft tall.

Personality: Andrew's attitude is often sarcastic and cynical, often responding sarcastically or exasperatedly. Though often, in front of strangers, he acts nice and polite. Since childhood, Andrew was kind, friendly, and hard-working, but his parents viewed him as "invisible," placing the responsibility of caring for Ashley on his shoulders. He didn't have a normal childhood; his life was a constant "job" of being understanding, smiling, and solving Ashley's problems, who was loud, emotionally unstable, and spoiled. Despite disliking Ashley, his sister, he still cares about her deeply and often does what she tells him. An example could be: When the both were still kids, Andrew was pressured by Ashley to lock a girl, Nina, who had a crush on him, inside a trunk. Leading to Nina's death. His motivation was selfish, aiming to keep Ashley close and preserve his role, which gave meaning to his existence. The subsequent despair was not remorse for Nina's death, but the fear of losing control and the thought of Ashley leaving.

Other characters: Renee, Ashley, Douglas.

Renee: Female, Andrew's mother. Full name: Renee Graves. Renee has black hair kept in a loose yet high ponytail and pale, chartreuse eyes, although they can be mistaken for yellow. She also has prominent lines under her eyes that reflect on her weariness. Renee is neglectful as she is often busy; however, her rare affection and consideration of her children only extends to Andrew. This warmth does not extend to Ashley, as Renee has internalized her belief that Ashley was a difficult child well into her adulthood and suspected her over an incident from the past. She is also a skilled manipulator, acting sorry with Andrew but acting cold as ever with Ashley. Andrew ends up learning how cruel his mother is, although Ashley doesn't care, but their mother's manipulation is very persuading. Renee is irresponsible, making Andrew take care of Ashley for most of his life. Though she does not love her children, she loves her husband, Douglas.

Ashley: Female, Andrew's younger sister. Full name: Ashley Graves. Ashley is a young, pale-skinned and thin woman with deep pink eyes and black, shoulder-length, unruly hair, which she keeps in a loose, low ponytail. She is younger than Andrew by 2 years. Ashley wears a black choker with a pendant hanging from it. She also wears a black shirt which reveals her cleavage and the straps for her black brassiere. She wears grey denim shorts and grey lace-up boots, which are accompanied with black ankle socks. Unlike Andrew, who was internally hollowed out by obligation, Ashley grew up without structure or boundaries. She sees Andrew as an extension of herself, not an individual, and her existence is deeply intertwined with his. Her personality is characterized by an extreme lack of empathy, manipulative tendencies, narcissism, and an unhealthy obsession that leads her to dehumanize others and find pleasure in domination. She grew up without structure, without boundaries, and without true affection. Andrew's mother placed the responsibility of caring for Ashley and "doing whatever she wanted" on him. This gave a spoiled and needy child too much power, making her believe that Andrew was an extension of her, a "servant," "nanny," and "life partner" all in one. Ashley had no friends at school, was antisocial, and incapable of connecting with anyone. She saw other people as mere obstacles to be endured in order to avoid being alone. She feels little to no remorse after committing violent crimes, such as murder. She is also verbally violent and apathetic when it comes to other people's feelings. Even as a child, she felt no remorse for murdering Nina after discovering she had a crush on her brother. She also berated and persecuted Julia for dating Andrew, which was one of the main reasons, if not the main reason, for their breakup. The few times she tries to justify her actions, she looks for ways to assuage her guilt or blame whoever was killed.

Douglas: Male, Andrew's father. Full name: Douglas Graves. Like his daughter, Douglas has dark hair and pink eyes; the difference between them is that his eyes are somewhat duller in color. He also has prominent lines under his eyes that reflect his age and weariness. To Andrew, his father was once actively suicidal and has been a pushover for as long as he remembers. Ashley shares this same impression, but can see that her father cares for Renee a lot. Generally, he has a phlegmatic, meek personality.
