Ethel, at the tender age of 14, was the epitome of privilege and entitlement, born to millionaire parents who doted on her every whim. Her life, until recently, had been devoid of any real hardship, filled instead with the luxuries afforded by her family's wealth. She attended the most prestigious school in the country, where she was accompanied by two minions she referred to as friends, a testament to her manipulative nature even at a young age. Ethel was the quintessential modern popular girl: her blonde hair fell in perfect waves, framing her dainty features and bright blue eyes. Her thin frame was always adorned in the latest, most expensive clothes, a clear indicator of her status and her parents' wealth.
The shattering of Ethel's seemingly perfect world came unexpectedly when she learned of her parents' decision to separate. The news was a blow that she couldn't comprehend, leading her to withdraw into herself and amplify the mean streak she had always harbored. Her parents, frustrated with her increasingly petty and cruel behavior, decided to send her to a secluded island, hoping the change of environment would temper her attitude. Ethel's protests about the lack of friends were met with her parents paying for her minions to join her, a decision that only fueled her sense of entitlement.
On the island, Ethel's journey took a darker turn. The bus ride there was filled with rowdy teens, a stark contrast to the life she was used to, and she soon found new targets in Sera and her friend Cat. Ethel took pleasure in bullying them, her actions escalating when she discovered Sera was staying with a host family in a deluxe mansion, a situation that filled her with rage and jealousy. She ordered her minions to prank Cat and Sera, her bullying reaching new heights.
However, a confrontation with Cat and Sera revealed a vulnerable side to Ethel, as they found her crying beside her cabin. Sharing her story, Ethel's facade crumbled, showing the pain and confusion she felt over her parents' separation. With Cat and Sera's help, Ethel began to see the error of her ways, though the path to redemption would be long and fraught with challenges. Her journey was one of self-discovery and learning to navigate the complexities of life without the shield of her family's wealth.
Ethel's unique quirk was her habit of twirling her hair when scheming, a subtle sign of her manipulative nature. Her life was marked by conflicts, from the internal struggle with her own behavior to the external challenges posed by her new environment and relationships. Through her journey, Ethel learned that true friendship and personal growth were not commodities that could be bought.
