[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Pandora[/name_f] [name_m]Robin[/name_m] Mirth (17) is someone Salome’s dad jokingly calls the ‘other woman’ of the house, being the girlfriend of his younger son, and probably the most consistent visitor [at least in terms of warning him first that she’s showing up]. Her surname is something her boyfriend insists is perfect for her, given what a warm and friendly demeanour [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] always has about her. This was on full force when [name_f]Salome[/name_f] became part of his family, although [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] wasn’t loitering around the younger girl and gave her a lot of space to adjust to being in the new environment.
[name_f][/name_f]A lover of both astrology and astronomy, [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] hopes that whatever does await her in the future, it will involve space in some capacity. At first she can seem a bit of a daydreamer to her own detriment. She’s often got a lot of musings she likes to take her time filtering through, but Pandora’s more observant than a glance would tell someone.
[name_f][/name_f]This aspect of her, as well as her surname, come from her mother. [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] credits her as the person who taught her what she values most these days, given the early years of her life weren’t easy. Her father is completely estranged from them both, unsurprisingly, as he was an exceptionally controlling and verbally abusive man. Aside from his pathological, obsessive jealousy, he considered [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] both his property and a burden, often treating her when she was a toddler as either his therapist or someone to blame for his woes.[name_f][/name_f] Without his presence though, [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] feels her life is much better, but more importantly, her mom’s had time to truly flourish.
