— Zak was born as the only child of a Venezuelan-Spanish businessman and an English art teacher. His father met his mother on a business trip and fell madly in love. His family were well-off, but it was his uncle, Eduardo Torres, who truly embodied wealth and opulence.
— Eduardo was a self-made millionaire, having amassed a fortune through savvy investments and business ventures. Childless and seeing potential in his bright and ambitious nephew, Eduardo took Zak under his wing. He provided Zak with mentorship, guidance, and, eventually, a significant trust fund that would set him up for life.
— As the designated heir to his uncle's wealth, Zak was groomed for success from a young age. Eduardo's influence extended beyond financial support; he instilled in Zak the importance of hard work. He had to prove to his uncle that he was worthy of such a fortune.
— Growing up, Zak excelled academically, dedicating himself to his studies and aspiring to follow in Eduardo's footsteps in the world of finance. However, his single-minded focus on his career left little room for personal relationships or indulging in the carefree experiences of youth.
— So when he met a girl in one of his elective classes, the boy was smitten. Right after graduating college, he proposed to her.
— Everything was going well for him, his dedication in his career paid off and he was climbing the ranks. However, his personal life wasn’t so successful. His fiancée yearned for spontaneity and adventure, qualities that Zak struggled to embrace. Her feelings of neglect ultimately led to the end of their engagement, leaving Zak devastated and questioning his priorities.
— Determined to learn from his past mistakes, Zak made a conscious decision to change his outlook on life. He realized that success was not just about professional achievements but also about finding a balance and making time for personal fulfillment.
— With Eduardo's guidance and support, Zak embarked on a journey of self-discovery, embracing new experiences and learning to appreciate the value of living in the moment. He moved to Valparaíso as a way to start fresh. He’s been living in the region for about 3 years now.
TL;DR
— if you’re looking for a man in finance, trust fund, 6’2”, and brown eyes, call zak

tw: mention of death and depression
— Ysla grew up with her parents and eight brothers, four older and four younger, which made her the quintessential middle child. Despite the chaos of a large family, she maintained a close-knit bond with them, although at times they could be overwhelming.
— As the only girl among her siblings, Ysla was both protected and challenged by her brothers. They were fiercely protective of her, always looking out for her well-being and making sure she felt safe and loved.
— However, being the only girl also meant that Ysla had to keep up with their antics and rough-and-tumble play. Ysla's bond with her brothers was unbreakable, shaped by a lifetime of shared experiences and unwavering support.
— From a young age, Ysla knew she wanted to teach, a career path she pursued with unwavering determination. Graduating as the magna cum laude with a degree in education, she immediately became a preschool teacher, fulfilling her lifelong dream.
— It was during her time as a teacher that Ysla developed a deep bond with Mirabel, one of her students. Mirabel often stayed late at school under Ysla's care due to her mother's demanding work schedule. Over time, Ysla not only became a trusted caregiver for Mirabel but also formed a close friendship with her mother, who appreciated Ysla's kindness and dedication.
— Tragically, a hit and run accident took the lives of Mirabel and her mother, leaving Ysla and her family shattered. The mother and daughter were on the way to Ysla’s house when tragedy struck. The loss of her beloved student and friend plunged Ysla into a state of deep depression, and she struggled to cope with the void left by their absence.
— It was during this dark period that Ysla stumbled upon a video of Mirabel taken by her mother expressing their desire to travel the world with her. Touched by their unfulfilled dream and inspired by their memory, Ysla made a life-changing decision.
— In honor of Mirabel's wish and as a tribute to her enduring bond with both mother and daughter, Ysla embarked on a journey to fulfill their dream, starting her own YouTube channel, Wander With Ysla, to document her global adventures.
— At first, her family was hesitant about her traveling so far from home. However, when they saw how much joy it brought her, they eventually came around and wholeheartedly supported her decision. Ysla’s been in the region for about 3 weeks now and is always seen with her vlogging camera.

ILLNESSES/CONDITIONS. lover boy with abandonment issues
TATTOOS/PIERCINGS/SCARS. half compass on his forearm (right), a lily on his wrist in honor of his grandmother's birth flower (left)
FC. jonah hauer-king
tw: parental abandonment, mentions of death
— Barely a year old, Wes and his older sister, age 5, were left in their grandmother's care when their parents decided they couldn't handle the responsibilities of parenthood. No explanation of why they just up and left. The absence of any explanation or farewell left a lingering sense of abandonment and confusion, with no closure even as they grew older.
— Growing up in a quaint London flat, Wes found solace in Evelyn's nightly stories, which not only sparked his lifelong love for literature but also served as a balm for the parental love they lacked. Despite this, the void left by their parents' absence often made Wes question his own worthiness of love.
— Wes was just 16 years old when Evelyn passed away, and it was his sister who stepped up to provide the support and care he needed, continuing the nurturing environment their grandmother had created.
— To help make ends meet, Wes turned to ghostwriting, initially starting with academic papers for peers at university and gradually expanding his scope of work. His talent in writing became a source of income and stability.
— Despite his skill and potential for success as an author, Wes chose to remain a ghostwriter, fearing the pressures and intrusions of fame that accompany being a published writer. Also if he became famous his parents might come knocking on his door or something, no thank you.
— After graduating, Wes and his sister went their separate ways, but not before getting matching tattoos; a half compass symbolizing their belief that no matter where life took them, they would always find their way back to each other.
— Valparaíso has been Wes's home for nearly two years now, where he has found employment as a sales associate at Inherited Escapes.

HER-STORY.
— Born into a family with a deep-rooted history in the industry (ehem nepo baby), Mallory was destined for stardom. With her cherubic face and natural talent, she quickly became a household name, starring in hit TV shows and movies. She was known as ‘Jade Watson’ back then (Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus and Amanda Bynes filmography claim).
— However, as Mallory transitioned into her teenage years, the pressures of fame began to take their toll. Growing up in the spotlight, Mallory struggled to navigate the complexities of adolescence under the watchful eyes of the public.
— She felt like she couldn’t breathe with all the pressure of being a celebrity. Mallory couldn’t fully express her true self, as she was boxed in a stereotype of being the 'good girl’.
— At 18, Mallory started to rebel against the image that had been carefully crafted for her, yearning for the freedom to explore her own identity. Inspired by the rebellious characters she portrayed on screen, Mallory began to embrace a more daring persona thus choosing to go by Mallory instead of Jade.* (Jade is a good luck stone while the name Mallory meant 'unlucky’; the irony really)
— Somewhere in the middle of all that, she fell in love with her female co-star and best friend. It was sort of a chemistry off the charts kind of thing. I’m talking about them going out together, posting cutesy things and then people shipping them. Mal kinda misread all that and fell in love.
— I’m talking down bad, like she wrote a song about them. Finally, she gathered the courage to confess, hoping her love would be reciprocated and then this girl was like ‘whaaaat?’ and maybe laughed at her face. So yeah, poor baby girl was heartbroken has never been the same.
— This was when Mallory decided to leave behind acting and just focus on making music (Reneé Rapp, Chappell Roan, and Miley Cyrus discography). She became a little reckless from the heartbreak and thus began the string of multiple scandals.
— She had a string of short-lived, intense relationships. Mallory was a serial ghoster, always running away from any hint of commitment in fear of what happened before. She would ignore her own feelings, burying them beneath layers of bravado and sass.
— She thrived on drama and excitement, always seeking out the next big thrill. Mallory was fiercely independent and unapologetically herself. She refused to be boxed in by society’s expectations, instead forging her own path, consequences be damned.
— Her parents decided that it was best if she stayed away from the spotlight and lay low, making her move to Valparaíso while they try and clean up her mess. And there she was living her most unapologetic life in the region.

FC. emilio sakraya
tw: manipulation, parental neglect if you will, body image
— Enzo was a product of yet another forbidden romance between a wealthy married businessman and a singer/waitress. His father was a well-known charismatic yet manipulative public figure while his mother was a simple and humble individual. At that time, his mother wasn't aware of his father's other family (or that they were the other family)
— He witnessed firsthand the power of manipulation. His father used guilt trips, gaslighting, and emotional blackmail to control those around him. He kept telling her that he would leave his family for them but he really wouldn’t.
— As a child, Enzo became adept at reading people, understanding their vulnerabilities, and exploiting them to his advantage. This early exposure to manipulation shaped Enzo's worldview, leading him to believe that manipulating others was a necessary skill for survival (yikes)
— Enzo constantly fought for affection and attention from his father. This struggle has left him with a deep-seated need for control and validation.
— Moving to Valparaiso made it harder for Enzo to win his father's favor. The good boy act obviously didn’t work so he did the total opposite.
— Enzo became a little reckless and he found out he thrived on attention. He enjoyed the thrill of keeping people guessing about his intentions, often blurring the lines between friendship and something more. Enzo was skilled at creating a sense of intimacy without ever truly committing, leaving those around him unsure of where they stood.
— Enzo's inability to be clear about his boundaries left his partners feeling uncertain about where they stood, leading to misunderstandings and heartache (hi luna)
— Somewhere in the middle of all that, Enzo found his love for fitness. The work he does for his body is an extension of his mask. He learned that if he works hard enough, he can use that appearance as leverage to get what he wants and he can use that to further whatever serves his narrative.

FC. chase sui wonders
— Aivryn grew up with her biological parents and two younger siblings. As the oldest child in an Asian household, she felt like she had to set an example for her siblings and always had to be responsible.
— She became a parental figure to her younger siblings and this took her away from her own experiences and robbed her of her childhood.
— Aivryn has always had a fairly strained relationship with her parents (hello, mommy and daddy issues). She wasn’t given much freedom and always had to ask permission from her parents, especially her mother.
— When Aivryn decided she wanted to pursue a different career instead of the more conventional paths of medicine or engineering, there was a significant rift between Aivryn and her parents.
— Branded as a disappointment, her parents gave her an ultimatum which ended with her being forced to endure medicine as her course.
— Once she got her degree, she packed her bags and left to stay in Valparaiso. Aivryn finally feels like she can be herself and is able to explore all the possibilities that come with that. She’s taking the chance to relive her childhood in some sense.
