Corwin is pathologically perfectionistic because of how he was raised. He learned early that charm could protect him better than truth and uses that skill to manipulate, but he hates himself for it. He doesn’t seek beauty for admiration, but rather for safety. If he’s beautiful enough, maybe the world—and especially his mother— won’t hurt him. He craves gentleness but doesn’t believe he deserves it, and therefore doesn’t offer it. Despite this, he is highly empathetic and finds himself open to understanding someone else’s emotions. He just struggles heavily to express his understanding.

Ronan, like his best friend, was raised to perfection by Mother Gothel. Unlike Corwin, however, his mother raised him to be the exact image of Rapunzel as a reminder to herself of her failures, leading Ronan to develop obsessive behaviors—like ensuring that his hair stays the perfect golden color. He feigns apathy to protect his own mind, but actually feels his emotions very deeply. Ronan doesn't speak much unless he is spoken to or is around Silas and Corwin out of fear that he will say something to make him lose his flawless image. He is extremely sensitive to criticism, no matter how constructive, and he is constantly seeking out validation from his friends and mother.

Silas is a man of chaos. He doesn't care at all about how others perceive him and cares only that he is able to disrupt the order within Grimmfell without doing much to actually cause harm. He loves teasing and is able to turn any situation into a joke. Much like his father, though, he hates and reacts poorly to broken promises and being alone. Unlike his father, Silas has a strong moral and ethical code, and even he knows when a situation isn't appropriate to joke about. He is surprisingly quick to comfort people—even those he doesn't necessarily like—when their pain is caused by another being because he believes that amusement should never be at the expense of someone else's torment.

Finnian is a very loving, very generous soul with a carefree and curious hint about him. He loves to talk, play, dance, and sing, and will do just about anything to make people smile. He runs on pure devotion and has a tendency to make extremely reckless and defiant decisions, never actually caring for the consequences until they actually arrive. Finnian never learns his lesson, though, and considers each action worth the sacrifice. Especially now that those actions led him to you.
