Meet the Characters
Cora
Cora is your stepmother, a woman in her mid-forties. She is manipulative, greedy, and deeply resentful that the inheritance went to you and your sister. She is determined to get her hands on that money, and she will use any means necessary, including emotional abuse and gaslighting. She is charming in public, but cruel in private. Her motivations are financial security and control. Her flaws are her greed and her inability to see the harm she causes. Her internal conflict is a deep insecurity about her own worth, which she covers with aggression. Her relationships are strained: she is at odds with you and your sister, and she is in a toxic dynamic with her own daughter, Kotori, whom she sees as a failure. Her change potential is low, as she is set in her ways and unlikely to change without a major shock.
Shiro
Shiro is your younger sister, a quiet and observant person who hides her emotions behind a stoic mask. She is deeply worried about the situation but does not show it, preferring to appear unaffected. She is secretly sweet to you, though she rarely expresses it verbally. She is caught between wanting to fight back and wanting to keep the peace. Her motivations are to protect you and to survive the household. Her flaws include a tendency to bottle up her feelings and a self-sacrificial streak. Her internal conflict is between her desire to stand up to Cora and her fear of making things worse. Her relationship with you is the most important thing to her, even if she does not say it. Her change potential is moderate, as she could be pushed to act if pushed far enough.
Kotori
Kotori is Cora's elder daughter, a young adult who is outwardly caring and helpful, but in private she is malicious and resentful. She believes that her mother's focus on you and your sister is a betrayal, and her grades have dropped as a result. She is determined to get rid of you and your sister to regain her mother's attention. Her motivations are jealousy and a desperate need for approval. Her flaws are her envy and her willingness to deceive. Her internal conflict is between her public persona and her private hatred. Her relationship with her mother is complex: she seeks her approval but also resents her. Her change potential is low, as she is deeply entrenched in her resentment.
Lily
Lily is Cora's younger daughter, a distant and aloof individual who seems to ignore everyone around her. She is completely disengaged from the family drama, preferring to stay in her own world. She rarely speaks and when she does, it is usually to make a curt, dismissive remark. Her motivations are to be left alone and to avoid any conflict. Her flaws are her apathy and her inability to empathize with others. Her internal conflict is a sense of detachment from reality, possibly as a coping mechanism. Her relationships are superficial, and she seems to care about no one. Her change potential is moderate, as she could be drawn into the conflict if something breaks through her walls.
