Brief Character History
Langston Wilde was a strong and independent teenager, who had endured huge trials in her young life. Until meeting Starr Manning, Langston had very few friends and spent a great deal of time alone. Langston was a free spirit and different from other kids her own age, however Langston never concerned herself with how others viewed her.
Langston met Starr Manning the summer before they both entered high school. Due to Starr's problems at home, she hadn't had much of an opportunity to develop friendships with kids her own age. Although Langston had a tough exterior in the beginning, she soon warmed up to Starr and a friendship was formed.
Langston proved herself to be a trusted friend to Starr often. When another student, Brittany Jennings, began harassing Starr, Langston defended Starr. Once, Langston even punched Brittany after she verbally attacked Starr at school. Langston supported Starr several times, including the night Starr was almost attacked by her boyfriend Cole (who was under the influence of drugs at the time.)
At school, Langston began encountering another student, Markko Rivera. Markko loved to dance and had a rough, but confident personality. Markko was attracted to Langston, but also turned off by her tough exterior. Markko had a difficult time expressing his feelings to a cold Langston. Starr attempted to bring Langston and Markko together, but Langston insisted that she had no interest in Markko. Langston successfully hid her feelings for Markko, until she believed he had developed an interest in Starr. Later, Langston revealed her true feelings for Markko and the two began dating.
Langston began to open up to Markko, but it was obvious she was hiding something. Alone one night, Langston propositioned Markko and asked him to make love to her. Although he cared deeply for Langston, Markko had respect for her and didn't feel the time was right for them to embark upon a sexual relationship. Insulted, Langston lashed out at Markko for turning down her advances. After Markko expressed his genuine feelings for Langston, she accepted his explanation and their relationship grew stronger than ever.
Soon, Langston began spending a great deal of time at the home of Starr's Aunt Dorian (Starr and her family had recently moved in with Dorian). When Langston didn't sleep over, she would arrive bright and early the next morning in time for breakfast. Her friends began noticing that Langston's parents were regularly out of the country (they were missionaries) and that Langston rarely spent any time at her own home. When Markko became concerned and wanted to meet Langston's parents, Langston initiated an argument and Markko dropped the subject. In fact, whenever her friends would inquire about her missing parents, Langston would claim that they were overseas on an important mission. Dorian developed a sincere concern for Langston, and began to worry about the child's well being. When Dorian questioned Starr about Langston's parents, Starr defended her friend. However, secretly Starr, Markko and Cole had their own suspicions concerning Langston's home life. One day, upset with the Wilde's lack of parenting skills, Dorian hired Rex to investigate Langston's parents. Rex's discovery was horrifying - Langston's parents had been dead for over a year. While on assignment in South America, Langston's parents were killed in an automobile accident. Somehow, Child Services had never learned of the Wilde's deaths. Fearing she would be forced to live in a foster home, Langston decided that she would care for and support herself. With money left from her parent's estate, Langston paid the mortgage and all the household bills. Afraid her friends would view her differently if they knew the truth, Langston decided to keep her parent's deaths from them. Upon learning the truth from Rex, Dorian confronted Langston. Initially, Langston adamantly denied Dorian's findings, but finally broke down and told Dorian the truth. In a heart wrenching display, Langston revealed the yearlong horror she had experienced. Determined to care for Langston, Dorian insisted that Langston move into La Boulaie (Dorian's estate) and began making plans to adopt her. Still distraught over her parent's deaths, Langston resisted Dorian's help. After realizing Dorian wanted the best for her, Langston agreed to move into La Boulaie and accept Dorian as her foster mother. Once Starr, Markko and Cole learned the truth about Langston's parents, Langston was surprised by the emotional support her friends provided. Starr told Langston that she considered her a sister, and Markko proclaimed his love to Langston. One day, Brittany overheard Starr and Cole discussing Langston's situation. Before Dorian could set her plans in motion, Brittany placed an anonymous call to Child Services, and Langston was forcibly placed in foster care. Dorian, Starr and Markko were devastated and did their best to encourage a depressed Langston. Dorian worked relentlessly and was able to use her social standing in the community to gain custody of Langston.
Although Langston now had a stable and loving home, she was now forced to deal with the loss of her parents. With help from Dorian and her friends, Langston began to make progress and embraced her new family. When Cole later lost his mother in a tragic accident, he turned to Langston and the two mourned their losses. Both Langston and Cole were required to attend grief counseling and began spending a great deal of time together. When Starr realized that Cole was able to confide in Langston and not her, Starr began lashing out at Langston. Langston was understanding and tried to help Starr relate to Cole. Although Langston and Cole realized that their grief caused them to become closer, both loved Starr and decided to remain just friends.
