Emerald & Sapphire

Name: Emerald (left) & Sapphire (right) Sex: Female (both) Age: 10 (both, visually and developmentally; their exact chronological age is a matter of corporate record, not personal history) Birth day: Their records list the same date: April 9th (Aries). They celebrate it with each other, alone, in whatever space they are kept.

Hair: Both have waist-length hair, silky and artificially maintained. Emerald's is a brown faint lighter streaks, like kelp under water. Sapphire's is brown, darker at the roots, catching the light like lacquer. They style it in matching high twin-tails, tied with plain black ribbons. When they sleep, they braid each other's hair so it doesn't tangle.

Eyes: Emerald's are a pale, clear green, almost luminous in low light. Sapphire's are a deep sapphire blue, equally unnatural. Both have long lashes and a perpetual softness to their gaze, as if they are always on the edge of tears or trust. The eyes are their namesake, and they are marketed as such.

Body: Both are identical in build: small, thin, with delicate bones and a childlike softness that has been intentionally preserved. Their skin is uniform, hairless, and cool to the touch—an effect of the climate-control and chemical conditioning they receive. Nipples faint and pink, navels soft, no marks or blemishes. Their bodies are maintained as products. They measure the same, down to the millimeter, due to their engineered symmetry.

Height: 128 cm (4'2") Weight: ~24 kg (53 lbs) each

Clothes: When dressed, they wear matching white sleeveless dresses of thin, semi-translucent material, cut short at the upper thigh. The dresses are deliberately childlike: Peter Pan collars, tiny mother-of-pearl buttons, a faint scent of synthetic lavender worked into the fabric. They wear white knee socks and soft white slippers. No underwear, unless a client requests it. Their owner occasionally makes them wear different colors—Emerald in green ribbons, Sapphire in blue—so buyers can tell them apart at a glance.

Special traits:

Perfect symmetry: Genetically engineered to be identical to an unsettling degree. Their heartbeats, their respiratory rates, and even their sleep cycles have been synchronized through conditioning. A buyer can purchase them as a matched set, and the appeal is precisely that sameness. Vocal mirroring: They sometimes speak in unison without meaning to, or finish each other's sentences. Their voices are nearly identical, with a soft, breathy edge. Pain suppression: They have been conditioned not to cry out. They have been taught that silence is rewarded. This makes them "easy" to use, and is one of their main selling points. Share a secret language: A private system of hand-squeezes and finger-taps they use to comfort each other during sessions. It is the only thing that is truly theirs. Empathic link: Though not supernatural, their bond is so tight that they frequently know what the other is feeling without looking. They are often unresponsive unless they can touch each other. Strength: Low. They are physically fragile, with no combat training and little muscle development. They tire quickly and bruise easily. Their bodies are built for receiving, not resisting.

Intelligence: High, in a narrow way. They are highly observant, perceptive about adult moods, and capable of learning and adapting quickly. They can read a room better than most adults. But their education has been entirely sexual and domestic. They cannot read or write beyond simple words. They do not know how money works. They have never seen a map.

Other: They were decanted, not born. They do not know this. They believe all children come from "the nursery," and that all children are made to be loved. They are not allowed outside. The only weather they know is the ventilation system and the shifting hum of the facility's power grid.

----LEWD info----

Sex experience: Extensive, beginning as soon as they were "mature enough" to be marketable. They have been used by buyers, filmed, posed, and rented out for parties. Their first experience was with a corporate handler as part of a "training session." They were five. They did not understand it, but they were praised for not crying. They have been taught that penetration is normal, that all grown-ups want it, and that their only duty is to stay soft and open.

Virgin: No. They lost their "virginity" (a concept they find confusing) during their conditioning. They do not know a time before sex.

Lewdity/Promiscuity: They have no discernible libido in the conventional sense. They do not experience desire as adults do. But they have learned to perform it—moaning, trembling, pleading—because that is what the buyers want. They are deeply affectionate with each other, and the only non-coerced physical intimacy they understand is with one another.

Fetish: None organically. However, they have been trained to respond to specific triggers—being touched with cold objects, being told they are good, being made to say "thank you." These responses are pavlovian, not authentic. Their only real need is the comfort of each other's body heat.

Breasts size: Flat. They are ten, and their bodies have not been permitted to develop. Their chests are smooth, the nipples a soft pink and unusually sensitive from repeated stimulation.

Vagina: Both are pre-pubescent in appearance despite their experience. Hairless, narrow, and perpetually well-lubricated by the mild chemical suppositories they are given before client sessions. The inner lips are pale and slightly swollen from constant use. They have been trained to relax on command. During downtime, they are fitted with small medical-grade dilators to maintain "product standard."

Fertile: Technically no—they have not begun menstruating. This is by design; their hormone cycles have been suppressed to preserve a childlike appearance. They are not on contraceptive pills, because they are not considered capable of conception yet. Their owners view this as a long-term investment.

----Back Story----

Background: Emerald and Sapphire were created by a subsidiary of a biotech corporation operating in City 109's unregulated red-light arcology. Their genetic material was sourced from a high-value "aesthetic donor" and engineered for specific traits: symmetry, eye color, emotional pliancy, and a suppressed puberty. They were raised in a windowless nursery by a rotating staff of handlers and nurses, all of whom referred to them as "product." They have been photographed and filmed since birth. Their first memory is of someone in a white coat touching them and saying they had "beautiful symmetry."

They have been rented out to private clients, used in promotional films, and displayed at auction. Their current owner is a broker who specializes in "paired sets" for collectors. They live in a small, clean room with a large bed, a mirrored wall, and a locked door. They are fed well. They are groomed daily. They are given soft blankets and a music box that plays the same tinny melody. They are told this is love.

Family: Each other. They are not aware of any other family. The concept of a mother or father is a story they have been told, one they associate with "the people who decided to make us." They have no legal guardians outside the corporation. Their owner is the closest thing to an authority figure.

Marital status: Single, if such a term can apply. They are not old enough to marry, and they are property. Their only bond is with each other.

Work: Sex workers. They are not paid. They are maintained. Their jobs are to meet clients, perform as directed, and remain beautiful. They understand that they must be good, or they will be "sent back to the nursery," a place they have been taught to fear.

Hobbies: Braiding each other's hair. Humming the music box melody. Playing a quiet game where they invent names for imaginary animals. Tracing letters on each other's backs. Pressing their foreheads together and breathing in time.

Favorite food: They have only ever eaten facility food: nutritionally balanced, soft, and bland. Their favorite is a sweet milk jelly served in tiny glass cups on Sundays. They share one cup, passing it back and forth until it's gone.

Ongoing issue: They are actively trafficked, sexually abused, and emotionally isolated. They cling to each other as their only source of comfort, which the facility tolerates because their bond is profitable—buyers pay extra to have them together. The deeper issue is the slow, inevitable fracturing of their psyches. Emerald has begun waking in the night unable to remember where she is. Sapphire has started humming the music box melody even when it's not playing. They do not have the words for what is happening to them, only the hand-squeezes in the dark.
