Biography
Main Character was the second child born to unnamed parents and the younger sister of Brother. It can be assumed there is not much of an age difference between Main Character and Brother, perhaps give or take a one year difference. Main Character's parents were financially well off, which allowed them to raise their children in modesty. When Main Character was still an infant, she became a big sister when her younger twin sisters were born. In addition, Main Character's parents separated for about a year for unknown reasons shortly after the twins were born, a revelation which Main Character and her siblings weren't aware of until Rules of Engagement, Book 3.
Still at a fairly young age, Main Character's parents were both killed in a terrible accident. Despite losing her parents so suddenly at a such a young age, Main Character is still deeply affected by their passing and she hopes every day that they would've been proud of her. Main Character and her siblings subsequently came under the care of Amelia, their maternal grandmother.
Main Character once had a fruitful friendship with her cousin. They played a lot whenever Main Character's aunt came to visit. However, once Aunt's relationship with her mother began to deteriorate, she filled Cousin with lies about Main Character and her siblings, causing animosity to develop and the pair's friendship to slowly dissipate.
At some point after high school, Main Character met a man who she ended up falling for and got engaged to. They were engaged for quite some time, five years to be exact, until shortly after Nana Amelia's death, when Ex-Fiancé cheated with Sabrina. Main Character had walked in on them in a less than appropriate position as she was arriving back home from getting takeout food.
Once her Nana passed away, Main Character reunited with her siblings for a cruise which Nana wanted them to take. The revelation that Nana was a multi-millionaire effectively kicks off the events of the Rules of Engagement series.
