For the first blog of my outside reading book, I'm going to do a character comparison. In the Blue Bloods series there are three main characters, Mimi Force, Bliss Llewellyn, and Schuyler Van Alen. All three of these characters are extremely different in appearance, background, and personality, the only thing that brings these three together is the fact that they are all Blue Bloods and that they all come from families with fortunes. All three also attend Duchesne, a school basically designed for the rich children in New York City with classes of only sixty. Mimi Force is the popular, perfect girl. She's intimidating and very exclusive. As Melissa De La Cruz describes her, she has a perfect body with curves in all the right places, flowing silver blond hair, bright green eyes and can get any guy she wants. Mimi has a Twin brother Jack Force is also everything perfect. As all Twin Blue Bloods do, Mimi and Jack have and inexplanable relationship. Mimi dates guys for no more than two weeks and does what she pleases with them but they don't mind since she's made them her human familiars. A human familiar is a Red Blood bitten by a Blue Blood to make them unconditionally in love with their Blue Blood significant other. Mimi does the same to her "friends" however she doesn't bite them, she simply intimidates them to become her friends which we wouldn't even call friends, more like followers or apostles. Bliss Llewellyn is one of these followers until she finds true friends that Mimi doesn't approve of. Bliss is a new student at Duchesne, she came from Texas. In Texas, she was the most popular girl, the head cheerleader, and the girl every guy wanted. She, too has a model figure with naturally curly, long, orange hair and a taller figure. As a part of her most vulnerable time as a Blue Blood, Bliss has had terrifying nightmares ever since she moved to New York City. The dreams were so bad that she would wake up not knowing where she was and sometimes wet from her cold sweat. Bliss also has trouble fitting in until Mimi befriends her. Besides Mimi, Bliss also eventually makes friends of her own. She quicly friends Dylan, an attractive bad-boy type that immediately attracts Bliss after he offers her a cigarette at a club. Bliss and Dylan end up having an intense relationship that fights walk-ins by her parents and Mimi's dissaproval. Bliss also makes friends with Oliver Hazard-Perry and Schuyler Van Alen. They bond over their interest in freeing Dylan from captivity and finding more information on the Silver Bloods. Out of all three girls, Schuyler stands out the most by far. She is the only one in school that can make layers of emo, vintage clothing look good. She also has her mother's beauty, not Beauty like Mimi or Bliss, a natural, hard-to-see beauty. Schuyler is actually not 100% Blue Blood since her father was a Red Blood. After the mysterious deaths of her classmates, the information that she's a vampire and her attacts, she is determined to find out more about the Silver Bloods.
