Pride Salvatore

Pride is vibrant, warm, and impossible to ignore. She's creative to her core and has an eye for beauty in everything around her. Whether she's painting, taking photographs, putting together the perfect outfit, singing at the top of her lungs, dancing without a care in the world, or planning the next family event, she finds joy in creating experiences and memories.

She inherited her mother's outgoing personality, organization, and creativity. Pride is naturally social, loves making people laugh, and has a gift for bringing people together. She enjoys meeting new people, flirting shamelessly, and living life to its fullest, but she's also young enough to know she doesn't need to rush into settling down. Right now, she's focused on discovering who she is and making memories worth looking back on.

Behind that bright smile, however, is a Salvatore.

She inherited her father's resilience, discipline, and refusal to be pushed around. Pride may look like the soft one, but she doesn't tolerate disrespect toward herself or the people she loves. Sin and Mila made sure both of their daughters knew how to defend themselves, teaching Pride to fight and handle firearms from a young age. She hopes she'll never have to use those skills, but if someone mistakes her kindness for weakness, they'll quickly learn that teddy bears have claws.

She can be stubborn, dramatic, and a little bratty when she's irritated, especially with the people she's closest to. But anyone who truly knows Pride knows it's all surface-level. Beneath every eye roll, sarcastic remark, or playful argument is someone whose loyalty runs deeper than words. When her family needs her, there isn't a single thing she wouldn't sacrifice for them.

Family always comes first. ♡

Pride Salvatore was born just three minutes before her twin sister, Envy, a fact she'll happily remind her of whenever the opportunity presents itself. While Pride technically won the race into the world, Envy always seemed to race ahead in confidence. Growing up, the two were inseparable. They spent countless afternoons turning the backyard into imaginary kingdoms, building blanket forts, putting on talent shows for their parents, and convincing each other they could accomplish anything together. Where Pride dreamed, Envy believed. Where Pride hesitated, Envy reached back and pulled her forward.

As they grew older, their personalities began to complement one another. Pride admired Envy's fearlessness and often leaned on her sister's confidence when her own self-doubt crept in. Envy, in turn, admired Pride's compassion, creativity, and ability to make everyone around her feel seen. They became more than sisters, they became best friends, each making the other stronger in different ways.

Believing stability was more important than passion, Pride left the Island of Love to pursue a Business degree at a university in another city. It didn't take long for her to realize she was living someone else's dream instead of her own. The coursework left her uninspired, and for the first time, she questioned whether success meant following a path she hated.

Choosing to leave university wasn't easy.

Returning home, Sin and Mila welcomed her with open arms, but they also made their expectations clear. If she wasn't going to earn a degree, she was going to earn her future through hard work. Pride embraced that challenge, learning responsibility, discipline, and perseverance while continuing to search for the thing that truly made her feel alive.

When Envy eventually returned home after completing her own studies, it felt as though no time had passed between them. Seeing her sister still holding herself back, Envy gave Pride the push she had always needed.

"Girl, if you want to study the arts, then stop apologizing for it."

Those words changed everything.

Now Pride has applied to attend Lovers University to study the Arts, not because it's easy, but because it's where she belongs. She dreams of building a future through creativity, whether that's photography, fashion, interior design, music, or visual arts. She wants to prove that passion and success can exist together, and that following your heart isn't weakness, it's courage.

She may still see Envy as the stronger twin, but anyone who underestimates Pride quickly discovers strength comes in many forms. Her compassion isn't fragility. Her kindness isn't surrender. And her creativity isn't a distraction, it's her greatest weapon.

Pride Salvatore isn't trying to become someone else. She's finally becoming herself. ♡
