The Milano-Sorrentinos
Name: Malia Sorrentino ~ Age: 18 ~ Place in Family: Youngest Daughter ~ FC: Sofia Black D'Elia ~ Love Interest: Marco Harrison – Flirtation ~ Also Plays: Dustin Fitzgerald ~ Taken ~ @Hollipop
Personality: +unique, bubbly, daring; -rebellious, brash
History: Malia Sorrentino is very clearly the baby of the family. Like her older siblings, she was spoiled as a child and pushed into modeling at a young age. Unlike her sisters, however, Malia hated modeling. She hated being put in frou-frou dresses and having to sit still and make ridiculous poses while some asshole who thought it was cool to call people fat snapped her photo. By the time she was ten, she told her mother straight-up that she wasn't going to model anymore. It came as a shock to Margo, who felt like the luckiest mom in the world to have five daughters who were all going to be successful names in the modeling industry. Still, Malia managed to make a name for herself with her unique sense of style and fresh attitude. At age sixteen, she created her own line of edgy accessories and exciting cosmetics named after—herself! For her eighteenth birthday, Leon surprised her by buying out an empty store so that Malia could take her business from online to the streets of California. She enjoys working, and still manages to find time to cause a little ruckus here and there.
Name: Maci Sorrentino ~ Age: 20 ~ Place in Family: Second Youngest Daughter ~ FC: Selena Gomez ~ Love Interest: Cory Levan - Boyfriend ~ Also Plays: Victor Carmichael ~ Taken ~ @Lori Williams ♥
Personality: +positive, cheerful, caring; -sensitive, emotional, insecure
History: Maci was born to Margo Milano and Leon Sorrentino. At first it was difficult to understand the concept of having siblings with the same mother, and a different father, but she eventually got used to it. Two years later her little sister, Malia Sorrentino was born. Since the two girls were the youngest, they became close friends, as if they were twins. Having famous family members wasn't always easy. Some people bullied her and hated on her and someone that was always by her side was a boy named Cory Levan. He moved to Calabasas when he was 8 and ever since then they had been best friends. When they got into high school Cory finally gathered the courage to ask her out, and ever since then they've been dating. However, her siblings weren't the only ones that were in the fashion business. Ever since Maci was 15 she modeled for different clothing brands, and by the time she was 17 she was modeling for bigger brandnames. Even before that her mom had made her model for brands like Gap Kids. It was a pain sometimes, since on certain days she would go to school and realize she didn't understand any of the curriculum. Although she is already a young adult, since Margo is her "momager", Maci currently lives in the Sorrentino home with her sister, Malia, her mom, and her dad.
Name: Maya Milano ~ Age: 26 ~ Place in Family: Oldest Daughter/Mother of Matthew "Matty" Carmichael ~ FC: Nina Dobrev ~ Love Interest: Victor Carmichael - Boyfriend ~ Also Plays: Jay Bolton ~ Taken ~ @oOBubblesOo
Personality: +understanding, fun, loving; -sarcastic, snappy
History: Megan was the third to be born in the Milano family. She looked a lot like her older sister, Maya, so some people mistaked her as her. Sometimes it was hard having no identity, so for a while she was stuck inside her own little shell. When she entered high school she broke out of it. She chose to be confident and became a popular student. Ever since she was in high school she had always been in the modelling business and one day they asked her to model for a Gatorade advertisement alongside the Lakers players. Megan was thrilled and agreed to it. At the advertisement she unepectedly met the love of her life, one of the basketball players, Jay Bolton. In a blink of an eye they got married. Despite being the youngest daughter in the Milano family, she was the first to get married, even before Maya, who already had a son. They found a house together and seeing that Bennett was leeching off of her parents, she offered to let him live with them. Megan currently lives in her house with Jay and her little brother Bennett.

Personality: +caring, funny; -lazy, careless
History: Bennett was the last child to be born before Marshall Milano died. His father's death didn't affect him a lot since he didn't know him very well. He sped through school not caring about grades and anything educational. He was known as the class's "player", since he constantly played with girls' feelings. Every new girl that stepped on school grounds' heart was broken by this male. After graduating high school he didn't have any thoguhts of college so he ended up living off his parents. When his sister, Megan, got married to Jay, Megan offered to let him live with them because she didn't want him to leech off of his parents. He obviously accepted and moved in with them. Since his love life was so boring after graduating, his sister, Mariana, introduced him to her friend Alicia, a hotel heiress. Although she was confident and a bit selfish, they were a perfect fit together and she brought out the best in him. They are still dating and have a stable relationship. Bennett currrently lives in Jay Bolton and Megan Milano's house.

Personality: +Nurturing, Hardworking, Strong-Willed ; -Pushover, Overprotective
History: Leon Sorrentino was born in Brooklyn, New York to a butcher and a receptionist at a doctor's office. From a young age, he knew that he wanted more for himself than the blue-collar careers his beloved parents held. He studied very hard and committed himself through grade school, and managed to get into Harvard Business School. While at Harvard, he met Marshall Milano, a man who matched his own ambitions. The two became fast friends. Leon was the best man at Marshall's wedding, godfather to the guy's kids, and the two of them started a business together and became very wealthy. Everything changed, though, about a month after Marshall's first son was born. Marshall passed away of a sudden heart attack, and along with grieving his best friend, Leon knew it was his job to take care of Margo and the kids. The biggest twist occurred when Margo and Leon ended up falling in love and conceiving. With the blessing of Margo's young children, the two got married—-before Margo was showing, of course—and their daughter Maci was born. Two years later, Malia arrived into this world. Leon has since retired from his job, but has enough money for his family to live more than comfortably. The rest is history!

Personality: +loving, zealous, family-oriented; -overdramatic, overbearing
History: Margo Milano wasn't always the flamboyant self-proclaimed superstar she considers herself to be now. She actually had quite humble beginnings, raised in small-town Texas by a banker and a homemaker. She knew for her entire life that she wanted to do was dance. Her father picked up extra hours at work so that Margo could attend only the best dance classes their town had to offer, and it turned out that she was a natural. She founded her high school's dance team, but dropped out during her senior year after being scouted by a director to dance back-up in the Broadway musical, Chicago. Margo's Broadway career took off quickly, but ended when she was at the tender age of 21 due to an injury. She ended up finding a job as a receptionist out in front of California for Marshall Milano, a wealthy businessman who was willing to take a chance on a girl without a high school diploma. Of course, the two ended up falling in love. They were married when Margo was 23 and popped out the first of four children within a year. After Marshall passed, she ended up seeking solace in his best friend and colleague. She had her second marriage and two more children. Margo is currently the “momager” of her very talented bunch.

Other Characters
Name: Alicia Lockheart ~ Age: 21 ~ Place in Family: N/A ~ FC: AnnaLynne McCord ~ Love Interest: Bennett Milano – Boyfriend ~ Also Plays: Cory Levan ~ Taken ~ @Nat
Personality: +self-assured, trendy, sociable; -selfish, conceited
History: Alicia Lockheart grew up in Beverly Hills, California, but spent a lot of her childhood in various hotels all over the world. Yes, that's right. Alicia Lockheart the heiress of the five-star Lockheart hotel chain. Growing up, she was given everything she ever desired so she would stay out of her parent's way. Whether it was a pony ranch or backstage passes to see her favorite boy band, no expense was too grand for daddy's little angel—-as long as she stayed that way. As a teenager, she decided to stay in Beverly Hills full time and give up her traveling homeschooling to attend the famous Beverly Hills High School, where she ruled the place with an iron fist. She attended one of Maci Sorrentino's ultra-exclusive birthday parties, but ended up striking up a friendship with the girl's older sister, Mariana. The two girls bonded over their love of designer labels and guys with muscles, and Mariana acted as a mentor to Alicia. When Alicia was nineteen and Mariana was 22, the two girls decided to get a place together. Their friend-turned-roomies situation had its share of conflict, but they have fun together. A year ago, Mariana, being Mariana, set Alicia up on a blind date—with her brother, Bennett. The two hit it off surprisingly well and have been dating for a little less than a year.
Name: Dustin Fitzgerald ~ Age: 25 ~ Place in Family: N/A ~ FC: Chace Crawford ~ Love Interest: Mariana Milano – Flirtation ~ Also Plays: Malia Sorrentino ~ Taken ~ @Hollipop
Personality: +down-to-earth, considerate, humble; -gullible, over-trusting
History: Dustin Fitzgerald grew up in Cookeville, Tennessee, the adopted son of two lawyers. Growing up, money was never an issue for them. They always had a lot more than they needed, so they made a point of helping out those less fortunate than them. Whenever young Dustin would see a homeless person on his way to school, he'd give the man the lunch money he was given for the day. It was just the way he was raised, and it helped him grow into a caring and humble young man. When he got to high school, he fell in love for the first time with a girl named Kelsey. The two of them dated for three years, but she broke up with him right before their graduation ceremony after giving him the impression that they were going to take their relationship to the long distance level when they went off to college. His heartbreak made the usually-positive Dustin into a stoic lost soul. He wasted his four years of college keeping to himself and became extremely bitter. It took graduating with a degree in economics and getting a boring job for him to realize that he needed to change his life for the better. He went on a “life cleanse” and cut out all of the toxic people in his life. To get back to his humble ways, he asked his parents to no longer send him money. Dustin is now the same guy he was before, and is working as Margo Milano's assistant and living in an apartment that isn't stellar, but he pays for it himself.
Name: Marco Harrison ~ Age: 20 ~ Place in Family: N/A ~ FC: Aaron Taylor-Johnson ~ Love Interest: Malia Sorrentino – Flirtation ~ Also Plays: Mariana Milano ~ Taken ~ @Akeira
Personality: +Talented, Honest, Approachable ; -Wild, Uncontrollable
History: Marco Harrison is a California native, but he isn't exactly proud of it. He is the product of an unhappy marriage between a plastic surgeon and a socialite, the failed attempt of them trying to work out their issues by having a kid. Even since he was a little boy, his mother would dress him in designer shirts and try to tame his naturally unruly hair with gel and a comb—-and he hated it. The only thing that kept him from killing his parents was music. When he was ten, he taught himself to play the guitar, and by high school he was a local name. He joined a band his junior year and they actually got picked up by a small label after releasing a demo. After one failure of a tour, the band decided they needed to write more music and build a fanbase. The four boys moved to San Francisco together and got their own place to share, thinking that the more time they had to spent around each other, the more inspired they would be to write music. This backfired, because they all ended up loathing one another. After throwing a house party one night without his roommates' permission, Marco was given the boot—from the house and from the band. He couch-surfed for a little while before cutting his losses and going back to Calabassas. However, his parents refused to let him move back home, so Marco moved in with one of his old friends, Cory. He is currently staying on Cory's couch until he can make enough money at his coffee shop job to get his own place.
Name: Jay Bolton ~ Age: 24 ~ Place in Family: Son-In-Law ~ FC: Tristan Wilds ~ Love Interest: Megan Milano – Wife ~ Also Plays: Maya Milano ~ Taken ~ @WalkerGirl
Personality: +Hilarious, Athletic, Romantic ; -Preoccupied, Easily Distracted
History: Jay Bolton grew up in Alabama, the oldest of six siblings. His father left his mother when he was ten, so the woman had to get three jobs to make ends meet for her huge family. This meant that the majority of Jay's teen years were spent caring for his younger brothers and sisters while he mom was at work. Between playing parent and trying to keep his grades up, he never really had much fun until he got to college. He got into UCLA on a scholarship and, although he felt bad about leaving the kids, they had gotten old enough to take care of each other while their mom was working. On a whim, he was encouraged to try out for the basketball team. Jay ended up falling in love with the sport, and was scouted during his senior year of college to play professionally. Right after graduation, he began to play for the Lakers. A year later, Jay Bolton was a household name. He was making of money to not only have a nice bachelor pad, but also to move his family out to California. The only thing missing from his success was somebody to share it with—until he met Megan. Her and her sisters were doing a Gatorade ad with some of the Lakers guys, and the two of them immediately hit it off. They got married and moved in together within eight months of meeting, and her crazy family immediately accepted him into the fold. He continues to play ball during the season, but is looking forward to starting a family in the near future.

He gladly accepted and there he unexpectedly met the love of his life: Maya Milano. It wasn't exactly love at first sight.

Instead of getting married first, they had a child before hand named Matthew (Matty), which wasn't thrilling news for Margo, who loved the tradition of marriage before children. Victor currently lives in a house with Maya Milano with their son Matty Carmichael.
