I have too many rp’s for my own good but let’s start another.

I need some cliche in my life. I’m thinking something set in modern times, an arranged marriage happens between a rich man and a young woman of middle-class. The woman hates the man she was forced to marry but slowly comes to love him the more she gets to know him…


Arabella Griggs was born into a decent middle-class family. As the only female in her family of two brothers she was charged with the duty to marry for the betterment of the company. Her father found the son of a rich company owner for her to marry and they were promptly set up.

She hated the man who was now her husband. She couldnt stand him or her father for doing something so unfair towards her… she didn’t care if her father’s company fell through, she wanted to marry for love, not for the company.

So my character is the female she is down below. Character profiles aren’t needed but if you’d like one you may add your character in. And they don’t have to be as detailed.

Name:

Arabella Griggs

Age:

19

Gender:

Female

Sexuality:

Straight

Species:

Human/Caucasian

Powers:

None

Appearance:

Thin, pale, and lanky, Arabella stands at 5’6 in height. Her long facial features include two almond green eyes, a long, pointed nose, and soft, thin lips. Her mid-length, Auburn hair has often led to strange looks and glares. It’s rather short for a female of her standings.

Her small frame is nearly skeletal and she is always sickly, a result of her sheltered life indoors.

General Attire:

For parties she bares the dresses and fabrics of a mid-class lady. Often fitted to Victorian-style dresses and classy outfits.

Her everyday outfit always consists of some sort of business casual attire and has never changed. She is not allowed to wear shorts or other recreational clothings.

Personality:

Strong-willed and easily excitable, Arabella is a doer. She strives to make something of her life before her father can arrange it for her. She is highly energized by social outings but finds business to be boring. She would rather become a painter, but is told by her more traditional father that the idea is silly.

Social Standing:

Middle class. Sure she’s no noble or from an important family but she’s in good standings.

Backstory:

As the first-born daughter of a rising businessman who is found not-so-popular, Arabella is considered the one to change her families fortune and fate by marrying into a rich family. The stress of that upon her drove her away from her father’s wishes. She would rather explore and paint than become the trophy wife to some top businessman.

Her father kept an iron fist and a tight gaze on her childhood, picking and hiring her friends carefully. He set her up for etiquette courses which she aced with flying colors. But it all was dull and boring. She now spends days on end outside, trying to regain her locked up childhood.

Other:

Her father is seeking an arranged marriage for her to benefit his company. She is highly creative and loves the ideas of the mythical and magical creatures that are said to reside in the forests. She wishes to visit it someday.

(Cool, thank you! Let me set up my character real quick-)

(I'm using my favorite boi, but I'm gonna humanize him a bit)

Name:

Maaleshiira Fotiá Ficce

Nickname:

Michael (common)
Mal (only with his family)

Age:

20

Gender:

Male

Sexuality:

Straight

Species:

In my world he's a feuer elf buT UM Human! And African American with a bit of Asian in him

Appearance:

Mal is about 6'5 (big tall boi) and he fits into his height, you know? Like, he's not the skinny, scrawny tall kid. He has just the right amount of weight on him to make him look like an intimidating muscular boi. (if that even makes sense) His hair is very curly and kind of short. One of his curls constantly hangs in front of his right eye. His eyes are light brown, they almost look gold in the right lighting. His skin is a very lovely shade of dark bronze. He's also quite muscular, so win-

General Attire:

Usually wears suits or some sort of business type clothing. When he's at home he'll put on a shirt and sweatpants, though.

Personality:

Very dignified and proud. He acts like a gentle giant (who could slay you if he wanted) around those he trusts, but acts too prideful and a tad arrogant around everyone else. He's very hot-tempered and will lose his cool quite often.
He's too lenient with people he cares for, though. He can also be a good friend and an even better listener.

Social Standing:

Upper class

Backstory:

(Can this be revealed in the rp? It's a bit really sad btw-)

Other:

He likes to travel to other countries and just immerse himself in their culture
My poor bby has a small problem using his right arm since there were so many deep cuts and bad burns on that arm. Thankfully he's left-handed
He's disgustingly good at math

(is he okay?)

@Toxic_Persephone group

HES PERFECT. I love him! And I would love to get to know his bio through the story!! Also I wouldn’t mind a little magic, if you do want to keep him as his original species.

BUT DANG BOI THIS BOI IS BEAUTIFUL

Deleted user

ISN'T HE? I practically worship him. I based him off of two real people that I know. If you combine one with the other you get this beautiful man.

And nah, his magic skills basically are manipulating fire (and I don't know how that would work out in the real world lmao) But thank you! Lol I appreciate it uwu (plus if he were to be his original species, he'd be like 8 feet tall-)

@Toxic_Persephone group

I love him! awwwwwww that’s amazing!

Ooof that’s one y’all boi. We’ll keep him human then! Alright, shall we start? I will write the first response but would you like it to start after the wedding? During their ‘honeymoon’?

Deleted user

During their honeymoon sounds pretty cool! (But can we start tomorrow? I have to work the night shift and um. Yeah enough said lmao. But I'm on pretty much all the time unless if I have to take a nap. I'll even remind you to come back here lol. Anyway, is that alright?)

@Toxic_Persephone group

(That’s perfectly fine! I’ll put my response up now and you can reply whenever you can. Take your time and take care of yourself ok! Also, I don’t mind that you’ll remind me to come back here. Sometimes I’ll start writing a response and then something comes up and I never finish. I’ll need a reminder XD alrighty!! I’ll get the first response up have a good night shift!)

Weddings were supposed to be happy things… they were supposed to be the highlight of a woman’s life. But Arabella felt nothing as she was married to a man she barely knew. She hated his dashing looks, hated the way he spoke, hated the way his lips felt on her’s when they finished the ceremony with a kiss.

All she could feel afterwords was rage and sadness as she lost her youth to a man who didn’t love her.

And now she was sitting on the edge of a bed in a honeymoon suite, hugging herself tightly as she kept her back to her new husband. She didn’t love him; she hated him. She could never forgive him for agreeing to take away her life.

She was so young too… she couldn’t live life like the other women her age. She would never get to feel the freedom of her twenties, never get to go out with real ‘friends’ who weren’t hired, and she would never meet the love of her life.

For the fifth time that day, Arabella cried.

Deleted user

(Aww thank you! uwu)

Mal was sitting on the side of the bed, feeling awful. It was perfectly clear that the girl didn't want to marry him.

He glanced over at Arabella, wondering if he should comfort her or not. If he did, he might get snapped at. If he didn't, he'd look bad. Well, in her eyes, I'm probably already the worst. he thought.

Mal got up and crept over by Arabella's side. He sat next to her, but a distance. Swallowing his pride, he asked, "You alright?"

@Toxic_Persephone group

(Np Np!! Uwu)

She froze as he slid closer, biting her lip and stifling her sobs. Arabella has to be strong. She knew she had to. But it was hard. “Do I look like I’m ok?” She spat, glaring at him. Even if he was attractive as hell she was still upset with him.

“Besides, why would you care, you got your trophy wife.” She pulled her knees to her chest and turned away from him.

Deleted user

Mal leaned back a little bit to give her more space. Wanting to defend himself and get the last word in, he sighed, "You know, I'm helping your family by marrying you." He stood up, stretching a little bit when he did.

"And I care because you're my wife. Despite you hating me, I will never mistreat a woman."

@Toxic_Persephone group

She stood suddenly, moving to the balcony door provided by the room. “As if I wanted this… I couldn’t care less about my father’s company. And as for our marriage… I may be your wife but I will not love you.” She murmured, pulling a blanket over her shoulders as she exited, sitting out in the biting night air.

She was freezing but she didn’t want to be inside with him. The first few times she had met him he had come off as arrogant. As far as she was concerned, he was some preppy rich boy.

Deleted user

Mal groaned. "What an unreasonable woman…" he whispered under his breath. His stomach growled loudly. What if she's hungry too? he wondered. He walked over to the tiny kitchen that the hotel had, and saw that there were conveniently placed ingredients in there.

A while later, he finished making dinner. (i don't speak chef, but ill just say that whatever he made, he did a niCe job) He took a plate of it and walked outside to the balcony.
"Here." he handed her the plate. "You need to eat."

@Toxic_Persephone group

Arabella had been dozing in her chair when he brought out the food. She started, looking up at him from the bundle of blanket she had rolled herself in. “Oh… thank you.” She murmured softly, taking the warm plate and sitting up.

She avoided looking at him. She hated how handsome and kind he was. It would be a lot easier to hate him if he wasn’t so good looking and treated her with respect…

So she turned her gaze to the beautiful view before them. There was a reason she had wanted to come to this location for their honeymoon; it was absolutely gorgeous. It was away from humanity and made only for newlyweds. Nobody could bother them. And it felt peaceful.

Deleted user

Should I stay here? He looked around the balcony. It was a nice view. He was about to comment on it when his phone rang. Before he answered it, he told Arabella, "When you're done, leave the plate by the sink. Then you should stay inside. It's chilly." And walked inside.

@Toxic_Persephone group

She looked up at him, her emerald eyes shining in something similar to a thanks as he returned to the indoors. He was right. It was freezing out there and her cheeks were starting to go red from the biting air.

So she ate quickly, humming at the taste of the warm food. He was a wonderful cook and she didn’t want to admit that.

The plate was set by the sink once she had finished, her small body wracked with shivers as she began to warm up. It was hard to watch her tremblings, but she wouldn’t let him get too close.

This honeymoon wasn’t going to be a traditional one… there would be very much less touching and affection and there was no way she was going to let him bed her.

Deleted user

Mal finished up the call and started to wash their plates. His food was only half-finished, but he lost his appetite the minute someone called him.

When he finished up he looked over at Arabella. "I guess that means I'm sleeping on the couch then, eh?" He chuckled softly, trying to lighten the mood. He walked over to the couch and sat on it. It was extremely uncomfortable. Oh well. He pulled out his laptop (i guess lol) and started to work on something.

@Toxic_Persephone group

She didn’t laugh at his joke. Instead she dragged her blanket over and sat next to him. If she were to be his wife it would at least be good to get to know him, even if she hated his pretty face.

“No, you can sleep in the bed with me.. it wouldn’t be right for us not to…” she mumbled, wrapping herself up in the blanket and turning her eyes to his computer. “What are you working on?”

Deleted user

He started typing away. "The call I got was from my secretary. Apparently, someone's trying to hack us." He smiled and looked up at her. "Nothing to worry about, though. They won't succeed."

@Toxic_Persephone group

She didn’t smile up at him, looking miserable as she wrapped the blankets tighter around herself. That damned smile of his was too stunning. She didn’t want to see it again.

“What would they gain from hacking you?” She asked lightly, frowning deeply. “How big of an influence is your company by the way? You said you’re helping out my family through this marriage…”
