Children of Astarte


NAME: Corrinne Wethington
RESIDENCE: Aspendale
PROFESSION: CEO of Wethington Jets (a private plane company) and Head of Waverley Heights Academy’s PTA.
AFFILIATIONS: Leader of the Children of Astarte - a secret cult, comprised of many powerful members of California’s social elite.
BEST FRIEND: Isabella Fontaine-Kensington
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Divorced from Harold Wyndham.
RELATED CHARACTERS:
Christian Rhys Wethington (Son)
Harold Wyndham (Ex-Husband, Divorced)
INFO: Corrinne is an extreme feminist and in many ways, the complete opposite of her best friend, Isabella. While both women are ridiculously wealthy, she often tries to get Isabella to stand on her own two feet instead of simply being a helpless trophy wife who relies on her husband. As the CEO of a private jet company, she is extremely respected and held in the highest regard. Her involvement with Waverley Heights Academy’s PTA has also given her a “Mother Of The Year” image to add on to her business accolades. Corrinne thirsts for power. She is independent and makes a bold leader. However, she is also disdainful, snobby and accustomed to the finer things in life. Her religious obsession with the cult she runs is leading her down a dangerous path and she has blood on her hands. However, it is far too late to turn back now that the damage is done.
FACE CLAIM: Charlize Theron


NAME: Isabella Fontaine-Kensington
RESIDENCE: Aspendale
PROFESSION: Trophy Wife and Lady of Leisure
AFFILIATIONS: Member of Corrinne Wethington’s cult.
BEST FRIEND: Corrine Wethington
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Very happily married to Theodore Rosencrantz Kensington.
RELATED CHARACTERS:
Theodore Rosencrantz Edgar Kensington (Husband)
Ashlea Eliza Kensington (Daughter)
INFO: Whether gracing a charity gala ball with her presence or insulting the gardener who destroyed all her best orchids, Isabella Fontaine-Kensington, is above all, always a lady. She is also a feminist’s nightmare. Never one to cuss and swear, Isabella believes in retaining perfect poise and manners even when dealing with her worst enemies. Being terribly old-fashioned and traditional, she would have done well to be a wife in the 1940s, as she seems well-suited to the era, both in her looks and behaviour. She is a socialite and trophy wife, and makes no apologies for it. Why work when you can rely on your husband? Therefore, while Isabella is graceful, elegant and witty, she lacks the modern mindset of her best friend, Corrinne, and is a complete anti-feminist.
FACE CLAIM: Naomi Watts

On one hand, he is very protective of his family and behaves like a normal husband and father to his wife and kids. On the other hand, he is capable of great violence when necessary and can be quite a sleazebag. He keeps this second side of him hidden to almost everyone except his victims. As a cult member, he is willing to do anything to support Corrinne, including murder. He is responsible for the rape and murder of Angeline Kelley, and the attempted framing of Louisa Grayce.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Seperated from his wife, Naomi, pending divorce.
RELATED CHARACTERS:
Naomi James (Wife)
Alex James (Son)
INFO: Henry James ranges between a reserved man waiting patiently to a raging bull in a china shop. He does not use smarmy sales tactics in his work, and works hard to build up a network. When things go wrong, he will fly off the handle, and his family just have to shut the door on him and wait until he calms. His wife Naomi accidentally walked in on him during one of his rages and it took all his strength not to harm her in his rage. He deeply regrets that ever since, and to this day is glad he has never laid a malicious finger on any of his family. Despite his hidden temper, Henry is laid back on trivial family discussions such as what to watch on television and what the dogs are fed. He does however have an opinion on how his son should be at school, which Naomi has to keep him in check with. Recently, he exhibited violence towards the household help. He and his wife are currently on the brink of divorce.
FACE CLAIM: Patrick Stewart


NAME: Judith Klein
RESIDENCE: Los Angeles
PROFESSION: Owner of Klein Law Firm
AFFILIATIONS: Member of Corrinne Wethington’s cult.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Widowed and unlikely to remarry.
RELATED CHARACTERS:
Serena Rockefeller (Niece)
INFO: Judith Klein has stepped from the shadow of her late husband into managing a successful law firm. She has grim determination, is ruthless in who she hires and the cases they take on. She has the power to hire and fire anyone from her assistants to the cleaner. Klein keeps two personalities in boxes, one for working and one for life. She does her very best to avoid letting her personal feelings get in the way of her judgement and her profession, and packs all of them away in a box at the start of the working day. The second box, opened on arrival home is one of a loving mother of two adult children and one grandchild. The second personality can be forgotten about if she is working particularly hard. Judith does have some superstitions that she keeps very much to herself. A certain pen must be used to sign documents, one particular broach for another occasion, and avoids booking travel on a Friday on the 13th of the month. Very trivial things, that help her confidence.
FACE CLAIM: Judi Dench


NAME: Rosalie Fairfax
RESIDENCE: Waverley Heights, California
PROFESSION: Associate Museum Curator and Ph.D. Student in Archaeology
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Engaged to Hunter D’Argent
RELATED CHARACTERS:
Kayleigh Fairfax (Cousin)
Sebastian Reilly (Cousin)
INFO: Shy, quiet Rosalie is a rather naïve person, for all her intelligence and reasoning abilities. Organized to the bone, she has a near-photographic memory and considers making lists one of her favourite hobbies. She makes a great planner, researcher or record-keeper but not a leader, for she is too docile, meek and concerned with keeping everyone happy to ever make tough decisions or enforce them. Despite being the picture of harmless innocence on the surface, Rosalie has rather questionable ethics. Her actions in life are governed by self-preservation and her innate survival instincts, not some stranger in a position of authority. This is not usually apparent to anyone save her fiancé and some of her fellow members in The Aviary and Children of Astarte. She is careful whom she shows certain facets of her personality to, and would never risk being viewed as a person with shaky morals unless she was sure that it was acceptable in a particular environment. Fortunately for Rosalie, her timid nature usually throws others off her scent when she has done something wrong. She is the last person anyone would suspect of committing a crime. While she would never personally kill someone, Rosalie has remained a source of loving support for her fiancé, Hunter D’Argent, who murders in cold blood on behalf of Corrinne Wethington. In many ways, she can be considered an accessory to his crimes because she was often the one who conducted preliminary investigations, tracked his targets down and supplied him their locations along with additional crucial data, allowing him to find them, gain access to them and kill them. Additionally, she helps him get rid of evidence. Rosalie is not a fan of slaying human beings, and finds excuses for Hunter only because her love for him is unconditional. She is fiercely protective of him and would go to any lengths to defend or shield him from harm. Her expertise in ancient civilizations, languages and religions, and access to relics, ritual items and museum collections (thanks to her profession) make her a valuable member of Corrinne’s cult.
FACE CLAIM: Zooey Deschanel


NAME: Hunter D’Argent
RESIDENCE: Aspendale, California
PROFESSION: Pilot at Wethington Jets
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Engaged to Rosalie Fairfax
RELATED CHARACTERS:
Miranda Bell (Cousin)
INFO: Ever since his father died and his mother lost her legs in a Wethington Jets plane crash when he was thirteen, Corrinne Wethington has taken care of the D’Argent family, even paying for Hunter’s education and getting him into the best private school and college money could buy. She stepped into his life as one of his main influences and treated him like a second son. As a result, he has become entirely dedicated to her. Not only would he never betray her - anyone who has anything bad to say about Corrinne will answer to him if he catches wind of it. Although he only joined the Children of Astarte to help out Corrinne, things have gotten more serious within the cult of late and Hunter has turned into something of a personal assassin for her. When he gets into a fight or is sent to kill someone, Hunter seems to switch gears, suddenly turning into an intense, bloodthirsty fighter. The humanity gets cut off from his brain and the adrenaline takes over until the job is done. Yet, after killing a person, he tends to be very flippant about it, as though having a man’s blood on his hands is no big deal. In the past, Hunter dated plenty of skanky women who resembled strippers or porn stars. It wasn’t till he met their opposite - Rosalie Fairfax, that he found someone he wanted to date seriously. Hunter wasted no time in proposing and is now devoted to her. He has to constantly watch out for her when they go out because she is so completely oblivious to flirtation, and never seems to realize when guys are trying to get into her pants. Of course, Hunter reads it loud and clear and promptly punches these guys out, leaving Rose rather confused as to why he ‘beat up the nice man’. Needless to say, he can be the jealous type when the situation calls for it. When Hunter is given a task, he is very focused and driven, and becomes annoyed when others get in his way. While he doesn’t always feel the need to be the boss, he likes having control, and doesn’t like following anyone or working in a group most of the time. This is especially true when he’s asked to go kill someone; he is a lone hunter who doesn’t need anyone tagging along to “help” him. Impulsive and reckless, he prefers to go with his gut instinct rather than thinking things through.
FACE CLAIM: Cam Gigandet
