Victoria Whitmore

Personality in Public:

The picture of elegance: flawless gowns, diamond jewelry, and a smile polished to perfection.

Known as a philanthropist—donates to charities, attends galas, praises her children’s achievements in speeches.

The media calls her “the golden matriarch of the Whitmore legacy.”

Personality in Private:

Cold, sharp-tongued, and merciless.

Treats her children as investments, not humans.

Perfection is never enough—if Asuna scored highest, she’ll say, “Why not higher? Why not better?”

Uses physical punishment when “disappointed,” but always in ways hidden from public eye (like the below-the-knee lashings).

Sees affection as weakness. Her love is control.

Reginald Whitmore

Personality in Public:

A commanding presence: tailored suits, powerful speeches, respected in business circles.

Seen as a visionary, an empire-builder.

Proud father persona: he parades his children at events, boasting about their intelligence, achievements, and “perfect upbringing.”

Media paints him as “the man who built an empire and raised heirs to inherit it.”

Personality in Private:

Detached and ruthless.

Treats his children like tools to expand the Whitmore name.

Rarely speaks unless it’s to issue commands or criticism.

When disappointed, his punishment is silence and withdrawal of acknowledgment—he makes them feel invisible.

Believes fear breeds discipline, and discipline ensures success.

Family Dynamic:

Outwardly, the Whitmores are the ideal wealthy family admired by society.

Public Face:

The Whitmore family is adored: glamorous photoshoots, magazine covers, charity events, flawless speeches.

Victoria and Reginald beam at their children, praising their brilliance.

They appear as the perfect elite family—loved, envied, untouchable.

In private, their mansion is filled with cold walls, strict rules, and emotional neglect.

Despite the lack of parental warmth, the siblings share an unbreakable bond, often protecting and understanding each other better than anyone else.

The mansion is a palace of cold silence.

Every mistake is punished; every success is dismissed as “bare minimum.”

Love is absent, replaced by expectations and cruelty.

The siblings only have each other to hold onto.
