Main Characters
- Rachel Algarotti - the Venetian born protagonist of this story. Born with the rare condition of holding violet colored eyes, Rachel navigates through her world both as an assassin and as a young woman. Being she suffers from a traumatic childhood, Rachel uses her skills as an assassin, better known as a Femme Fatale, to change the world for better. This is exactly what motivates her when she is recruited to work with Lucas in infiltrating Tristan's global program and by doing this, she possibly saves the world.
- Lucas/Raven - the sexy and gorgeous, yet mysterious male assassin (aka Raven) that Rachel is recruited to work with. Naturally flirty, both Rachel and Lucas have a hard time resisting each other as they work together to infiltrate Tristan's company. Lucas becomes a small distraction and escape from Rachel's life as an assassin. Lucas finds a friend in Rachel despite their small arguments as partners.
- Tristan Evergreen - the owner of a global company who is seeking shareholders in order to have his company up and running. Tristan becomes Rachel's mission. Tristan begins to fall for Rachel, as per her mission (and her vice versa) as he shows her the ropes of his company. His only problem is that he is engaged to a jealous socialite that Rachel describes as "psycho."
- Julia Lambert - Tristan's socialite fiancée; she hates that Tristan is involved with many women during his time as an owner of his company. Julia holds jealousy issues, especially concerning Rachel. Julia sees all women, especially Rachel as a threat to her romantic relationship with Tristan. Julia also holds impulse control issues as she automatically lashes out at Rachel when she meets the assassin. Julia also is very hard to please and she isn't fond of Tristan's family, who also happen to live in Italy, like Rachel's former family.
Trivia

- Rachel was tasked with possibly assassinating Darryl, a character from the other story.
