lennox is the third youngest of the selwyns, and he is by-far the most reasonable of the lot. he makes decisions based on reason and understanding, and is the least hot-headed of them all. he is prone to wearing suits, and you'll rarely see him in sweats or even in jeans simply because he's more comfortable in a dressier attire. it has something to do with remaining removed from emotion or something, more than likely. lennox is not just an emotionless robot, however. he cares very deeply for his family, and would do anything for them. historically, he has hit heads with his older brother, connor, on multiple occasions, and the two young men have openly hated one another for many years. even so, lennox would do anything for his brother, and connor would do the same. one of those 'only i am allowed to hate him' type of relationships.
lennox has actually become closer to connor in recent months since he was the only one connor trusted to accompany him to his meeting with the notorious criminal who leaked the tape of his now-fiancée eli being tortured by the russian mafia. when connor later had a breakdown after killing most of the russians in boston, lennox was the one who called eli and begged her to come 'save' his brother. now that connor has calmed down a bit and it starting to settle down, the two don't argue and bicker as much as they used to, but connor is still highly entertained by getting lennox's feathers ruffled.
yes, the pb requested is ed westwick, but lennox is not chuck bass. he's so blatantly NOT chuck bass, it's remarkable in fact. lol so don't make him out to be an asshole because he really isn't. he's very caring, he's just most reserved than his siblings.

kahlan has become (and has always been) the mother hen of the selwyn children. she is the second eldest, and loves her family with a love that will endure until her dying day. she was the only one to stand by her older brother connor when he raped an italian girl, and she was the only one to support her brother lennox when he wanted to become an actor and not a mafia soldier. she believes everyone has the right to his or her own opinion, and even if she disagrees with that opinion, she will support your right to have freedom. she will protect her family with her life, and she would die to keep her loved ones safe. her loyalty is astounding, dissimilar to her brother connor who once sold the love of his life to the russian mafia in exchange for information. out of all the selwyn siblings, kahlan is the lion of the group: the protector and their strength. she may be female, but she has the strongest will and soul of any of them.
despite being born into a mafia family, kahlan was kept sheltered from the family business by her mother who wanted her little girl to be a lady and not some mafia assassin. by the time she got to middle school, she already knew which order silverware should be in on a napkin and how to greet guests. she was enrolled in cotillion while her family lived in ireland. kahlan loved ireland. although she was pretty much still a kid when her family lived there, she loved it. she loved all of the nature and green grass, and that's when her athletic hobbies started. however, since athletes aren't usually 'feminine' she wasn't allowed to join any school leagues or anything, and she began to hate that she couldn't have the independence she wanted to do the things she enjoyed.
when kahlan was fourteen, her father uprooted their family and moved them to the states, specifically to new york. new york was so drastically different from dublin that kahlan was shellshocked. however, despite her characteristic shyness, kahlan got used to new york faster than probably the rest of her family. to her disappointment, her father uprooted their family again only a few months later and moved them all to los angeles, following the irish mafia on a relentless hunt. when kahlan was enrolled into high school in la, she hid within herself and put a shell around her. she became quieter and her family didn't quiet understand it. it was quite simple actually. kahlan's sorrow after leaving new york never departed from her, so she chose not to connect with anyone as if she could punish the outside world for her feelings. during this time, however, she became ever closer to her brothers - her only family members she still cared to get close to since her parents had ostracized her by always making choices for her and not giving her any freedom. she became especially close to her oldest brother connor who was so different from her, but he had the world experience more than the others, and he could tell her about life beyond her little bubble.
connor, in turn, trusted his little sister more than anyone in the world and told her everything about his life. this is how kahlan became the only person to know that he raped the italian girl the night he almost died in a gunfight. connor came to her after a day in hiding following the gunfight, and he was dirty and grimey, and kahlan patched him up before he had to face their father. that was when he told her the truth about what had happened and made her vow never to tell anyone. she promised. after her brother was exiled back to europe, kahlan realized she had to take steps on her own to make her own life, and she ran away from home a month later. she lived with her aunt evangeline who was still in new york with her husband and their two daughters. of course, her disappearance didn't go unnoticed by her parents, but they finally gave in and allowed her to live in new york with her father's sister, claiming she would be safer there than in los angeles anyway.
kahlan lived with her aunt in new york for three years until she turned seventeen and had to choose a college to attend. after graduating from high school, she got accepted to nyu and moved into the dorms. she became close friends with her roomate and attended school happily at the university for a full year. however, after hearing word from her brother connor that he was being allowed to return to the states now that enough time had gone by to clear his record in their father's eyes, kahlan transferred from nyu to los angeles to be close to her family again. the transition was hard for her, seeing her parents every day after being away for so long, but she was a changed person upon moving to los angeles. she started her journalism degree in los angeles and by the time she got to boston, she had already landed herself a role as an intern at the local newspaper. only eighteen by that time, she did little more than grab coffee for the editor-in-chief, but she loved the job. from time to time she even went out and took photographs for the paper and other random jobs to keep her occupied.
