Raven Alden wasn't the type to fade into the background. At twenty years old, she was already carving out her own path, studying Business Marketing while juggling the everyday chaos of college life. Born on a crisp December 13th morning in 1989, Raven entered the world just minutes before her twin brother, and she never let him forget who came first.

The oldest of the Alden twins, Raven grew up in a household where ambition was the family language. Her father, Dr. Thomas Alden, was a respected therapist with a network of practices spread across Virginia and North Carolina. Her mother, Sofia Alden, held the prestigious position of Chief Financial Officer at Virginia's most renowned finance firm. Excellence wasn't just encouraged-it was expected.

While Raven studied remotely, building a future in marketing with sharp focus and determination, her twin, Lucas, pursued a different path. He was in his final year at the University of Virginia, majoring in Commercial Law, and had recently landed an internship at their mother's company. His sights were set on law school, and the LSAT loomed on his horizon.

Together, Raven and Lucas were a formidable pair-different in interests, yet bound by the same relentless drive. But Raven? She had her own story to tell.
