Chapter Text
HOUSE XIE
Xie Lian (Juliet)
The 14 year old heir to the Xie family. He is not very interested in social ranking, but cares strongly for justice. Quite naive at times.
Lord Xie (Lord Capulet)
A strict man, wanting only what he thinks is best for his family. Head of the house. Puts honour and ranking above everything.
Lady Xie (Lady Capulet)
A loving mother, but often incorrect on what helps most. Can be quite distant.
Qi Rong (Tybalt)
A constantly angry teen who frequently swears. He uses family honour as an excuse to fight and insult someone.
Mu Qing (Nurse)
Employed by the Xie family as a caretaker/friend for Xie Lian. Exaggerates almost all of his behaviour to appear a better servant. Will lie about anything to keep his job.
Lang Qianqiu (random servant)
A righteous servant who believes the Xie family could do no wrong.
Xiao Mengyou (random servant 2)
A quieter servant, who trusts Lang Qianqiu with his life.
Pei Ming (Paris)
A noble man from a different house, keen on courting Xie Lian. He has many internalised beliefs, such as the patriarchy being the only correct way.
HOUSE HUA
Hua Cheng (Romeo)
The heir to the Hua family, a 13 year old boy with a mysterious beloved person. He is typically very calm and cold, but can become quite emotional or aggressive. He often jokingly insults people close to him.
Lord Hua and Lady Hua (Lord and Lady Montague)
Quite distant parents, dedicated to their social standing. Care deeply about family, but put ranking above individual members.
He Xuan (Benvolio)
A cold and seemingly unfeeling person. Hua Cheng’s cousin. His relationship with Shi Qingxuan is unknown, maybe even to him.
Shi Qingxuan (Mercutio)
Hua Cheng’s friend. An extremely friendly person who seems to befriend people who don’t like her often. However, these quieter people do care about her very much.
OTHERS
Mei Nianqing (Friar Lawrence)
The priest of the main temple in the area. Seems quite rude, but values the people who choose to remain around him. Been here for as long as anyone can remember.
Jun Wu (Prince)
The emperor of Xianle, done with all the injuries from the two main houses fighting. Doesn’t seem too interested in small issues.
