## Bio

### Relationships

Duchess Juliet, Marquess Takashi & Marchioness Elena: Manuel is best friends with Takashi. They usually spend their time play video games together. Takashi's wife Elena is actually the twin sister of Juliet, Manuel's wife. The four of them usually spend their time all together, and even had a joint 21st birthday party. The friends had a joint wedding, as both Juliet and Elena have dreamed about doing it that way, since they were young.

## History

Manuel was born into the Royal Family of Oasis Springs during the reign of his mother, Queen Naya of Oasis Springs, as her youngest child, having three older sisters.

### Early life

When he was a child, his mother was kidnapped, a plan that had been orchestrated by one of his grandfather's mistresses, Harmony. Luckily, his mother was rescued.S2P14

As a teen, Manuel started dating Princess Juliet of Willow Creek.

The Oasis Springs Palace was set on fire when Manuel and his siblings were teenagers. The arsonist was Charlotte, Harmony's daughter and Manuel's half-aunt. His father Phillip and Charlotte died in the fire.S2P49 Through his mourning process, he was helped by Juliet, his best friend Takashi and Juliet's twin Elena.

### Adulthood

As an adult, he eventually proposed to Juliet and they married, and became the Duke and Duchess of Oasis Springs.S2P68 They then had a daughter, Priya.S2P73

Manuel's sister Kimberly abdicated her place in the line of succession due to marrying Makana, the Crown Prince of Sulani, which meant that Manuel became 3rd in line for the Oasis Springs throne. According to Ayesha, Manuel takes on almost as many responsibilities as Arya, and therefore the people would be more happy with having Manuel as Arya's heir rather than herself. This came up due to Arya's issues with infertility, and Ayesha's unwillingness to become queen. Ayesha went through with her abdication due to Arya adopting, so Manuel became Arya's heir, though the likelihood of Manuel becoming king is very low because of how close they are in age. It is much more likely his daughter Priya will become Queen, that is, if the laws aren't changed to allow his adopted nephew Prince Sahar to succeed his mother.S2P84

When Priya was a child, he and Juliet had another daughter, Eshana, which delighted Priya.S2P89
