Laniesti Hutz

Laniesti Hutz is a successful model, socialite, and image consultant who carefully curates her public persona to project wealth, beauty, and maternal perfection. Beneath her polished exterior lies a manipulative woman who uses those around her, particularly her stepson Aidan, to maintain control and relevance.

Background

Early Life

Laniesti Hutz was born in 918 in Esprite to a wealthy family. Her father was a financier, and her mother a well-known socialite. Laniesti began modelling as a young child and was a successful and recognised model by her teens. She was not academic at school, but her celebrity status allowed her to study fashion at St Esoter's of Esprite. Laniesti continued to model up until her late twenties.

Marriage to Stobal Hutz

In 940, at the age of 22, Laniesti married Stobal Hutz. He was twenty years older than her and a respected film producer. Through him, Laniesti hoped to begin her career as an actress, but this never happened. Laniesti looked to having a family, but unable to have children of her own, she claimed Stobal’s son, Aidan, as her son after The Reconstruction, when he was 11. Laniesti used Hivemind to craft a carefully curated image of herself as the perfect mother, leveraging Aidan’s image to boost her public profile and stay relevant.

Stobal and Laniesti's Separation

The relationship with Stobal quickly waned, with both losing interest in the other. When she realised Stobal was having relations with Nina, she took revenge by engaging Magan. She took delight in being able to control him but, as Aidan grew older, became disheartened that she no longer had control over her 'son.'

Personality

Laniesti Hutz has the traits of an ESFP-T ("Entertainer"), characterised by a focus on the present, a love for attention, and an obsession with how others perceive her. Her entire identity is built around creating a flawless image, both in person and online, while avoiding discomfort or emotional confrontation. She thrives in social settings where she can charm and captivate others but struggles when faced with criticism, stress, or situations that demand long-term planning and responsibility.

How It’s Shown

• Attention-Seeking: Laniesti constantly seeks validation and admiration. She uses social media to project a glamorous, curated life, positioning herself as the perfect mother and style icon. Whether hosting parties, posting on Hivemind, or making public appearances, she ensures all eyes are on her.
• Shallow Relationships: Laniesti is charismatic and quick to connect with others, but her relationships lack depth. Her interactions revolve around maintaining control, fulfilling her need for validation, or crafting the perfect image. She uses Aidan as a prop for her motherhood narrative while disregarding his individuality.
• Conflict Avoidance: When faced with stress or opposition, Laniesti avoids direct confrontation, preferring emotional manipulation or passive-aggressive tactics to regain control. She crumbles under real pressure, showing little resilience when her carefully built facade is threatened.
• Impulsivity and Short-Term Focus: Laniesti acts on whims and prioritises immediate pleasures over long-term goals. She is more concerned with momentary appearances—like wearing the right outfit or hosting the perfect event—than considering the future consequences of her actions.
• Sensitivity to Criticism: Laniesti reacts poorly to criticism or rejection, perceiving even mild feedback as a personal attack. To preserve her ego, she deflects blame onto others or escalates small slights into dramatic confrontations.
• Surface-Level Charm: Despite her flaws, Laniesti has a natural ability to engage and charm others. She uses humour, flattery, and her fashion sense to win favour, masking her insecurities with an approachable and charismatic exterior.

Ultimately, Laniesti’s personality revolves around a relentless pursuit of admiration and control through curated appearances. Beneath her vibrant exterior lies insecurity, impulsiveness, and an inability to cope when her carefully managed world begins to unravel.
