Ilanya sobbed. How could she do anything but? How could she not feel betrayed by her parents? They sat there on the sofa across from her, stern looks on their faces.
"Ilanya, you knew this was going to happen. There is no use crying over it now. It is done." The girl looked up from her tear stained hands, green eyes overflowing with saddness.
"This is not fair. I'm too young, I don't even know him!" She spoke regarding her new situation. As of next week, she would be a married woman. A wife. She had not yet even met the man she was betrothed to. An arranged marriage.
Ilanya knew nothing of the man she was to marry. Not what he looked like, not how he would treat her, where she would be living, his name, or even his age, nothing. She crossed her arms and hung her head, dark hair spilling over her shoulder.
"I'm only eighteen years old! I'm too young to be married, I haven't even kissed a boy before! Now you expect me to marry this stranger?"
"Yes!" Her parents were getting frustrated. "We do expect that, and you will marry him. You will meet him next week at the altar, and you will have all the time in the world to learn his name and who he is after you are married."
Ilanya stood up and ran to her bedroom, flopping down onto the bed. What if the man was mean? What if he beat her? What if he came home smelling of booze every night and his urge to carnally know her flesh was so strong it killed her? Ilanya was scared to death of sex. She had never so much as casually brushed an arm against a passing male, let alone know one intimately.
She closed her eyes and cried into her pillow.
Only too soon next week would come, and she would meet the man she was expected to spend her life with.

Looking for the obvious character, once found, thread will become closed. This male character can be played any way at all, I'm open to any scenario.
