manuel valiente. father. 44. leo.
Manuel wasn’t around for much of Luca’s early childhood, considering Luca was the product of his international love affair with his mother. Manny dropped in a few times, bearing presents and gifts, but it was mostly through Rocio’s storytelling that he became acquainted with his father. After Rocio passed, he and his sisters were tossed into his family dynamic in Spain. Luca is respectful toward Manny, but that is about as much acknowledgement that the older gentleman gets from his son. He heeds his father’s advice, taking any of his practical experience to use toward his future, but the two have a distant relationship. He hasn’t seen his father in about two years now.
rocio torres. mother. deceased. 41. scorpio.
Rocio was a rather bitter woman, but she cared for her children, and she wished to be a good mother despite all her shortcomings. She fell in love with the wrong man at a ridiculously young age, and held onto the notion he loved her back, never knowing he was married to a woman in another country. She raised Luca in hopes that Manny would return and they’re resume being a family together, though that never happened. She passed away when Luca was nine, and although he would never say it aloud, he misses her dearly. Despite all her flaws, Luca had always played the role of her protector, and he was devastated when she passed.
ximena torres. half-sister. 18. capricorn.
Unlike the other Torres siblings, Ximena is a no-bullshit, wry student with a chip on her shoulder. She has a big attitude, one which Luca was constantly undermining or poking fun at as they grew up. She chose to stay in Spain, where she is currently attending college for business.
esmeralda torres. half-sister. 19. aries. @cfesmes
Esme is practically Luca’s other half. The two grew up extremely close, and despite their different values, he trusts Esmeralda in a way he simply won’t allow himself to do with a friend. She is wild and sharp and reckless, but he loves her to pieces and would do nearly anything to make sure she was happy and safe.
elena valiente. step mother. 42. capricorn.
Elena was a young, influential girl when Manny proposed to her for her family’s vast wealth. She is privileged and snooty, always preaching about her faith and the Torres’ sins. While she is vindictive and jealous, she desperately abides by the wifely role of obedience, afraid that Manny would move on to one of his other suitors if she pushed him too far. Still, she made it a point to make the Torres’ children a living hell, though most of it went under her husband’s nose.
isabela valiente. half-sister. 19. pisces.
Isabela is the most similar to Luca in terms of demeanor; she is lackadaisical and mellow, never having much to say besides a one liner here and there. She is an avid poet, and she constantly sends Luca cheesy poetry that he reads despite his lack of interest.
cristiano valiente. half-brother. 19. pisces.
Cristiano knows he’s desirable, and he owns it as much as he can. He is self-assured and charming, constantly using his demure personality to swoon suitors off their feet. He is noncommital and a tad insensitive, though his innately soft and romantic nature often lets his go overlooked.
miguel valiente. half-brother. deceased. 23. gemini.
Miguel was the most adaptable of all of Manny’s children. He and his father were close, though Miguel was self-aware enough to notice his father’s faults and even push the man to do better. He was goal-oriented and firm, though he was always patient with Luca, accepting him long before the other Valiente’s were able to. He had a dry sense of humor, though his temperament was something Luca respected. He was shot and killed about three years ago, and it had left Luca in a state of shock, taking him back to the unexpected and tragic loss of his mother as a child.
angel valiente. half-brother. 21. aquarius.
The most intellectual of Luca’s siblings, Angel is a lot more reserved than the others. He has the same aloof attitude as his siblings, but his focus is a lot more centered on his spiritual journey and intellectual growth than anything. He does not make an attempt to appeal to others, disinterested in most social interactions. Angel is incredibly self-disciplined, and practically all of his free time is used in an intentional attempt to elevate himself.
