Well considering that the Family's symbol is Serpent itself, just imagine having puppy tigers symbols on their chest lol (from soldado onwards)

Not sure about the second generation ("Serpent", Gottardo, Cynthia, 4th Serpent), but with the first generation (Cordia, Rina, "Serpent", MC's dad), if I remember correctly (as mentioned by Cordia to MC) it was their enemies that started calling them that, and they didn't give that name themselves.
I know, but what was first? the symbol or the nickname?
The games art shows the 3 girls and MC but I have a hard time seeing Isabel as the 4th unless teasing is considered a special ability.
Totally worked against me!

I have 2 theories.

1 is Joey. Overlooked to point of hilarity despite the fact he managed to sneak into a highly defended position with Gracie and completely screw up their defense.

2 is MC's friend from the the other family. Something tells me there is more to him.

The games art shows the 3 girls and MC but I have a hard time seeing Isabel as the 4th unless teasing is considered a special ability.

Unless it's Cordia again.
If I was a betting man, I'd probably put my money on Jalen (MC's friend). He's already a hardened Capo going through the of his own Kaskar Family, so seems like a perfect fit. But not sure whether it's possible when his Family is still around (if his whole Family gets wiped out by the enemies, then that would be a different story).

I don't like underestimating characters, but from what's been shown Isabel doesn't seem to have any talent or potential in terms becoming a Serpent (come to think of it, doesn't she have like zero field experience? That's even less than Gracie).

But she might do well regarding managing of the Family's money, resources etc, matters which require a manager.

The game doesn't specifically say, but my guess is, the nickname came first.

Following is my theory:

1) Cordia, Rina (MC's mom), "Serpent", MC's dad all became friends at some point and also fight together, so their enemies start calling them "The four Serpents"
2) They amass enough power to form and become the 4 founders of The DeLuca Family (and Serpent becomes the Family's symbol) [according to Giocabbe, there were 4 founders of DeLuca Family]
3) Not long after the Family is formed, they have a big falling out (over a matter), and Cordia gets betrayed.
4) "Serpent" either sides with Cordia from beginning or switches to her side sometime during the whole conflict/war.
5) During this war, MC, Luna, Gracie are born

This theory is just my conjecture, but we're possibly getting the Lore section in 0.07, so if that happens, if might help understand more as to what happened.

I am really interested what'll happen with Joey. There is a good chance he is just a joke character (lethal as in Monty Python's "funniest joke in the world" style) which will appear from time to time to lighten the mood of those recognizing him (i. e. nobody). But I see a chance that he'll be some kind of evil boss towards the end of the storyline, having infiltrated the family for nefarious purposes.

really liked the game so far though many will disagree but i am a little disappointed with so much of luna whose story feels so sad,heartbreaking and in conclusion just unrewarding
in contrast grace and isabella are much more fun specially mind games with grace and teaching her social conducts and kind of molding her character is much more interesting and rewarding
i hope grace , isabella and cordia gets little more attention from the dev as i feel they are little neglected so far

Isabella got a lot of content recently with a bit of grace. I am just waiting for more content for the spy girl and Lady Cordia.

Updated guide link in the OP.
Thanks for the guide. Really helps with the gameplay. Hope you continue to update it with the game.
I dont know if you know but there was a couple of missions you missed out in the guide. I think it was Isabela and Luna.

really liked the game so far though many will disagree but i am a little disappointed with so much of luna whose story feels so sad,heartbreaking and in conclusion just unrewarding
in contrast grace and isabella are much more fun specially mind games with grace and teaching her social conducts and kind of molding her character is much more interesting and rewarding
i hope grace , isabella and cordia gets little more attention from the dev as i feel they are little neglected so far
Not sure I agree with you saying Hopes (the dev) is neglecting other characters. Like others said above, Isabel recently had gotten a huge content boost with more events with updates 0.06 & 0.06.5.
Currently, she has the most number/variety of events (12 in gallery).

Gracie has the second most with 8 events.

Luna currently has the least with 6 events. Only reason it feels like Luna has the most content is because "My name is Luna" was a one long event compared to others (and for me, it was really rewarding where we get to find out a lot about Luna's character, and get in depth to her psyche).

Hopes has said that Cordia's time will soon come to shine (not confirmed when, but my possible guess is the update after 0.07)

Though metrics like this do not necessarily work that way - just counting events. I can make a thousand events off the drop of a hat by having "pub meets" with red wine, white wine, whiskey, whisky, vodka, jagermeister, coke, milk, kiwi juice, and a kale shake, which otherwise play out the same - there'd be no meaning behind it. Similarily it would be easy to artificially prolongue an event by including needless lines of dialogue which neither advances the plot not helps the characterization.

In my personal experience (which may differ for you) Isabel may have gotten some scenes and some intriguing background before the last update, but despite all the tension between her and the MC not as much development. At the same time I think Luna leads this category as the character we have the deepest insights, even if we don't completely understand her yet. This impression may differ for others of course, but it cannot be fixed by "number of scenes" or "length of scenes" IMO, it's way less tangible as a way of measuring.

Luna did got much more attention than the others because of my name is Luna. None of the other characters have had anything close to that. But that is not to say the other characters are neglected. There are feasibility constraints, Hopes can only go so fast.

Moreover, there are story constraints. Knowing about Luna is necessary to go searching behind her foes and to further develop the relationship. We had barely tapped in the family of Isabel, she could not open up to us easily, she is married after all. Gracie's problems are not about her past but about her current development. Finally, our beautiful queen cannot reveal all her secrets right in the beginning as it would kill a lot of intrigue, given that her past is going to be so intertwined with MC's family and current situation.

Give it time. They all will shine. Even forgettable Joey, although we won't remember it later.

True, we get more insight into the thought process of Luna than all the other characters. But I think perhaps that has to do with what Hopes originally planned for the characters (what each character wants with MC). From what I remember, early on he said (though he did say following can change/evolve in the future):

Luna - love
Gracie - exploration
Isabel - (can't really remember her one to be honest)

It feels like Luna reached that first milestone in "love" stage with My name is Luna event. With others, I think while they will all shine, the depth in which they will be developed could very likely depend on whether Hopes decides whether the rest of the girls (Gracie, Isabel, Cordia) would become full-fledged love interests like with Luna.
And in order for that to happen, rest of them would need to go through their own "My name is Luna" event (probably not traumatic, but certainly close enough in terms of emotional depth [and even pulling of the heartstrings, if possible]).

Whatever the case, I am looking forward to it.
