	Amari and Isabella became friends almost immediately upon meeting.  She is an original member of The Packt and one of Isabella and Deja’s closest confidantes in the group.  Blessed with a golden voice, Amari provides the entertainment for the guests at Sulani Falls. When in the city, Amari has garnered quite a fan base and often sells out several clubs when performing.  She’s recorded a couple of singles that have charted, but she so far has refused to “break out” and become a big star. She prefers to stay close to home, to family and to The Packt.
	Bryce joined The Packt sophomore year in high school.  Bryce is the ultimate athlete of the group. He’s been a leading contender on American Ninja Warrior a couple of times and is dedicated to health and fitness.  In the city, Bryce runs his own Gym O-Fitness and in Sulani Falls, he provides guests with personalized workouts. Bryce is outgoing, kind, smart and madly in love with Devon, whom he’s been dating since sophomore year of college.
	Cameron is about a cool a chick as you’ll ever meet.  Laid back, friendly, funny, practical, independent and smart - she captures the heart of almost every person she meets.  To date though, no one’s been able to keep her romantic attention for more than a few weeks at a time. Cameron believes she’ll be forever single - though Nate hopes to change that.  Cameron is a vegetarian and runs her own Yoga studio in the city. In Sulani Falls, she offers Yoga classes to guests.
	Catherine is the mother hen of the group.  Always concerned about everyone, always treating our wounds, hugging away tears and trying to soothe broken hearts.  You can go to Catherine about anything. Catherine and Ethan have been married for a few years and are trying for their first child. Professionally, Catherine is a nurse for a private practice.
	Deja is my sister.  My second sister. I loved her immediately upon meeting her in Kindergarten.  We spent every moment in school together, every moment of our summers together - then somewhere in the second grade we created The Packt.  Deja is beautiful. Just every meaning of that word. She’s so kind, smart, funny. She can finish my sentences. She’s literally going to be my sister in law one day.  Our kids are going to grow up together. She is going to be aunt to my children. I love every day spent with her and look forward to every day in the future with her…..and the group that we’ve formed.  Deja and me met the McCaffey brothers the summer before junior high. I liked Luke - but Deja fell hard for Dylan. They’ve loved each other ever since.
	Devon joined The Packt in junior high.  Obviously gorgeous, Devon is the model of the group.  Devon’s traveled the world for international fashion campaigns and shows, but she always comes back to Grand York and Sulani Falls to be with The Packt.  They have been and are her extended family. Raised by a single mother with no other family of their own, Devon’s flourished with the atmosphere that The Packt has created.  More than looks, Devon is creative, kind, smart and generous. She volunteers with charities in the city and runs a foundation benefiting stray pets through Sulani Falls.
	Dylan, Luke’s older brother, is handsome, funny, charismatic - everything he needed to be to become the young star he was.  From 16 to 20, Dylan was in the spotlight - but he chose to walk away. With the love of his life, Deja, by his side and the support and advice of his family - Dylan and Luke took the money they earned and invested it in real estate.  They’re both extremely wealthy. The money has not gone to their heads. They’re both humble. When in Sulani Falls, Dylan is not above working - doing maintenance and cleaning at the properties.
	The Packt met Ethan early in junior high.  Through junior high and highschool we’d see him often - at games, events, the mall, the lake.  He attended York State College with us though and began dating Catherine our Freshman year. It was then he became a member of The Packt.  Ethan is very serious, studious, proper and mostly quiet. He can let loose with us in certain situations - but with strangers, he comes off shy.  He and Catherine married a year after we graduated college. They look forward to starting a family together. Professionally, Ethan is a prominent dentist in the city - working at his family’s practice.  When we’re in the islands, he runs our fishing and boat tours.
	Garet is another original member of The Packt.  Garet is just a sweet, quiet, simple guy. He’s friendly and smart - never asks for much and would literally give the shirt off of his back to anyone in need.  Garet is athletic and outdoorsy and handles the scuba tours when in the islands. While in the city, Garet works construction with his father’s company, “Cabello Homes”.  Very family and friend oriented, he hopes to start marry and start a family with Layla one day.
	Founder of The Packt.  Dating Luke McCaffey since senior year in high school.  Closest friend in The Packt with Deja Starks. Met Deja at Windenburg Elementary School in a suburb of Grand York.  Isabella runs the wildly successful vlog and blog “Besties with a Camera” with Deja. The channel and blog focus on fashion, beauty, food, home decor and everything lifestyle.  Trying to write this as if by someone else - so kind of difficult. I’d say I’m kind, fun to be around, smart, sensible and compassionate. I also love really hard. If I choose to have you in my life - it’s FOREVER.  I have my reasons and we’ll get into that later. It’s important, because it’s the catalyst for The Packt.
	Jesse is the latest to join The Packt.  Luke and Dylan befriended him in York State College.  A lot about Jesse remains a mystery, but he is friendly, smart and dedicated to his friends.   Jesse heads up security for the The Packt at their businesses and homes in Grand York and for the island of Sulani Falls.
	Kimiko is the brains of The Packt.  Kimiko is the only member of the group that got straight As from elementary school through college.  Kimiko runs her own business handling financial planning for several of Grand York’s top celebrities and also manages the finances for the group and the business of Sulani Falls.  Kimiko married Alex Frost after college graduation, but they divorced after only ten months. While studious, serious and strong - Kimiko also has a great sense of adventure and a wicked sense of humor.
	Layla joined The Packt in junior high.  She is, and always was, a master comedian.  She’s bright, lovely and a joy to anyone to be around.  She is a soft spot for the entire group - whenever she cries - anyone around her usually ends up in tears too.  Super compassionate, Layla is absolutely the heart of the group. Layla runs the online boutique “Pretty Plus” that sells plus sized women’s clothing.  She’s been seriously involved with Garet Cabello for 5 years.
	Luke McCaffey and his brother, Dylan, met The Packt at Windenburg Junior High.  They all took an instant liking to each other and soon became members themselves.   At 16, Luke joined his older brother Dylan on the hit TV show “Young Hearts” and they were both multi-millionaires at 16 and 17.  Some time during his senior year of high school, Luke realized he was mad about Isabella. He pursued her and they became boyfriend and girlfriend.  By the time he was 19, he and his brother both wanted their anonymity back and retired from acting. With the advice of their parents and Kimiko, they invested their money in real estate - their money grew.
	Nate joined The Packt late in junior high.  Nate is polite, solid, funny and talented with his hands.  Nate is the guy that can fix anything - your clogged sink, broken table legs - ANYTHING.  Nate has also been crushing on Cameron for about a decade. Both gunshy about ruining their friendship - they’ve both dated other people here and there.  His heart belongs to Cam though.
	Noel is one of the original members of The Packt.  He’s a first cousin to Catherine. Noel is quiet, laid back - but very strong.  He’s the person you can talk to about anything and lean on anytime you’re going through something tough.  With Noel, he’ll make sure you never are in need of anything. He loves deeply - so his family and friends are among the luckiest people in the world.  Professionally, Noel is a master at all things computer related. He runs all of the websites for The Packt member’s businesses and for Sulani Falls.
	Zoe is one of the original members of The Packt.  Zoe is….well, mostly a mystery. None of us have seen her since our senior year in high school.  We’ve all (mostly) stayed in touch via phone and the internet - but we definitely can not say we’re as close with her as we all are with each other.  Zoe is kind, smart and funny. There’s so much I remember, but there’s so much more that I wonder. Like why she left so suddenly and with no explanation.  At first we tried to push, but then we stopped and just decided to support.   Highly creative, Zoe's been able to work from home designing merchandise and ads for all of our various businesses.
