However, she was trained rigorously to ensure the family&#8217;s business would be left in good hands. She\u2019s got a mind for the end goal and is cunning, ambitious, and not to be messed with. (Wears red)<br \/>\nOCTAVIA (18), the only legacy of the group. Octavia is the only one to truly grasp the reality of the situation, and she\u2019s a mess because of it. When she\u2019s not crying, she\u2019s got every quality worth having in a Darling, but also a secret that will destroy her when others discover it. (Wears orange)<br \/>\nYVETTE (18), blessed with beauty and charm but knows it\u2019s not enough. She knows how to play the game as she is extremely people smart and knows how to manipulate them to get what she wants while still looking like a prime candidate. (Wears yellow)<br \/>\nGENEVIEVE (18), desperate yet daring, Genevieve will do anything to become a Darling. Loyalty is the last thing on her mind, but with the stakes this high, who can blame her? (Wears green)<br \/>\nBRIAR (18), the rebel of the group, doesn&#8217;t want to play by the rules, unfortunately, leaving her a target. She uses rationale, but can\u2019t convince the girls around to agree. Thoughtful and resourceful aren\u2019t always those that reach great power. (Wears blue)<br \/>\nHANK (40-50s) unclear what his official title is, but is tasked with the impossible job of telling the girls the real secret behind the Darlings selection. He tries to be optimistic as he sugar coats the dilemma, but it\u2019s clear through his eyes the smile is fake. (Could be changed to previous Darling and would then be an eerily positive female role)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Location:<br \/>\nINT. AN OFFICE IN MONTE VE LEERS<br \/>\nINT.
