Daniella Moretti

35 yo Slicked-back brown hair, cold gray eyes, expensive clothes that feel like armor, cruel mouth. Controlling and paranoid with a hair-trigger temper beneath polished manners. Views Landon as property and Valentina as competition. Watches Valentina with barely concealed hostility, cataloging every interaction with her future husband.

38 yo Broad shoulders, cropped black hair with silver streaks, sharp Asian features, always in dark tactical clothing. Quiet and intensely loyal with an almost paternal protectiveness over Valentina. Sees everything but says nothing. Regards Landon with measured respect, subtly creating opportunities for Valentina's visits to extend.
