name: larkin " lace " sophie alweiss
birthdate: october 10th, 2007 (15)
location :round_pushpin:: bridgeport, connecticut
gender/pronouns: she/her (female)
sexuality: bisexual
personality: lace’s the quiet one, which some might say’s a product of being the youngest, but it’s never something she has an issue with. being soft-spoken, easygoing and hard to get a rise out of, typically just getting on with things quietly. she does have kieran’s tendency to operate in a personal form of organised chaos, not really making sense to anyone outside of her own head - never mind her propensity for procrastination - but she just about manages to keep on top of things. in spite of their differences, lace’s extremely close with her mom and values her advice greatly, with shell encouraging her to never feel inferior because she’s not got the loudest voice. sometimes she seems a little spacey, but lace makes up for it with her loyalty and dedication where her bonds are concerned, always having time for her friends, who are the main people to see her wry sense of humour.
description: lace is 5’3" and takes after her mom in figure, having wide hips, but otherwise is of the same slender build as kieran and logan. her eyes are the same dark blue as her mom’s - usually being outlined in white liner, to help pop the colour and stand out - while she shares the rich brown curly hair of her father, which rests at the midpoint of her back, and is usually tied into bunches or plaits. this is to compliment her coquette-academia aesthetic: pastel colours, vintage artwork [deer, cats, cherubs], lace skirts and shorts, babydoll dresses, knit vests, boleros & cropped cardigans, plaid skirts [both mini and midi length] and mary jane shoes. she’s become more experimental with her makeup recently, with gems and bright eyeshadow, and for her sixteenth birthday, her parents have agreed lace can get her septum pierced, something she’s incredibly excited about. you can always find her in her trusty baby blue wellies while walking marmalade about the neighbourhood, and she focuses her polaroid camera experiments around the dog.

name: [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] Pinault
birthdate: [name_u]June[/name_u] 8, 1973 [Age 49]
location :round_pushpin:: Fredericton, [name_u]New[/name_u] Brunswick, [name_f]Canada[/name_f] :canada:
gender/pronouns: he/him [male]
sexuality: pansexual
personality: Dominic’s a very kind and sweet person, albeit a little naive at times. His partner’s much more serious and reserved, and the pair often joke that “opposites attract.” [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] often does lots of romantic things for his partner, like giving gifts, which his kids find cheesy but adorable, as does his partner. He’s also a huge cat person, and has one cat- [name_f]Lilou[/name_f]. Lilou’s a gray cat who’s a little overweight and loves roaming around in Dominic’s backyard, or doing stroller rides. Two of Dominic’s children also have a cat, but [name_f]Lilou[/name_f] is Dominic’s and the two obviously love each other- you’ll often catch [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] cuddling [name_f]Lilou[/name_f] and speaking [name_u]French[/name_u] to her- he’s a proud French-Canadian who’s originally from [name_m]Quebec[/name_m]. He moved out for his job- he’s an architect, and a freelance writer on the side. [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] enjoys being an architect and getting to design homes but feels like his true calling is writing. He’s actually gotten a book published- and on the dedication page are his family’s names. [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] does make a lot of money as an architect, and he’s grateful that he does have that job, but he wants to retire soon and pursue writing as his main focus.
Appearance: Dominic’s pretty tall at 6’3”, and a little heavier for his height and age but definitely not fat- he’s just muscular, which his partner says is nice for cuddles. His hair is cut in a shaggy sort of wolf cut, which he got because his oldest said it would look good, and it’s very dark brown in color (almost black). His eyes are a light shade of seafoam, that is sometimes green and sometimes blue depending on the weather, the lighting, what he wears and his mood. [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] also has his ears pierced (he got it done in his 20s after losing a bet), and often wears black or gold studs. He’s got a tattoo on his left lower back, that’s a picture of his cat [name_f]Lilou[/name_f]. He’s also got his kids’ names inked onto his wrist. [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] usually prefers comfortable clothes around his house such as t-shirts and pajama pants, but he wears suits to work most of the time.

name: Jorge Stefan Martinez-Kellit
birthdate: 3rd of February, 1973 (49)
location :round_pushpin:: Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada :canada:
gender/pronouns: He/him (male)
sexuality: Demisexual
personality: As mentioned, Jorge’s an introvert, who tends to seem a little stern to outsiders. This is well-suited to his job, he’s a university professor in the anthropology department, having an obvious love of learning and education, putting his all in for his students while ensuring they take his classes seriously. He’s always the parent you can turn to if facing or anticipating a crisis, being a pillar of strength for his husband and children, something he takes pride in. Jorge can be prone to hiding his own fears and concerns because of this though, not wanting to worry those he cares about, which is something Dominic’s helped him move away from throughout their relationship, and Jorge always works to ensure their children feel able to be open.
description: Jorge’s an inch smaller than Dominic at 5’2" and a pretty slender guy, although he has broad shoulders and a triangular build, something echoed in his features: having a slightly pointed nose, sharp tipped chin and high cheekbones. He cuts his black hair short and it curls across his forehead, with his sister having taught him how to gel the curls to look nice. His eyes are a deep shade of brown, a little lighter than Dominic’s hair, and compliment the light olive glow of his skin. Jorge tends to dress in an academia style, even when he’s not at work, joking about how his studious nature follows him everywhere. He also has his eyebrow pierced - opting for a ring - which he did consider removing following the birth of the eldest, but his two kids insist he keeps it, and if they’re happy, Jorge certainly is.

Name: [name_f]Perla[/name_f] [name_f]Romane[/name_f] Pinault [name_f]Perl[/name_f]
Birthdate: [name_u]October[/name_u] 30, 2007 (Age 15)
Location📍: Fredericton, [name_u]New[/name_u] Brunswick, [name_f]Canada[/name_f]
Pronouns/Gender: she/her [female]
Sexuality: Lesbian
Personality: [name_f]Perla[/name_f] is a friendly and charismatic extrovert, who’s very well liked. She’s very kind and outgoing, and has many friends in her high school. [name_f]Perla[/name_f] just entered freshman year, and enjoys high school a lot. Her dads are very proud of her for getting good grades and making lots of friends in high school- she’s not necessarily popular, but she has a big group of friends who are all very nice people. [name_f]Perla[/name_f] isn’t very interested in dating, but when she meets the right girl she’d be open to going on a date sometime. [name_f]Perl[/name_f] is a good student, while not the best in her class she manages to get good grades and her parents are very proud of her for that. [name_f]Perla[/name_f] is technically a surrogate child- Jorge’s sister was the egg donor and surrogate mom while [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] is the biological father of [name_f]Perla[/name_f], while her younger sibling was domestically adopted- however this has no impact on the kids’ views of their parents and they still love them and know that they’re their real parents no matter what.
Description: [name_f]Perla[/name_f] is tall for her age at 5’7”, and has a wide, bottom-heavy figure with most of her weight being in her thighs, which she used to be insecure about but now is fine with for the most part. Her hair is long, thick and curly, and black in color- she’ll often tie it into buns, ponytails or braids. [name_f]Perla[/name_f] loves styling her hair in different ways and is considering dying it blonde. Her skin is olive like [name_m]Jorge[/name_m] and his sister’s, but she has Dominic’s seafoam blue-green eyes. [name_f]Perla[/name_f] enjoys wearing lots of chunky jewelry, along with sweaters, leggings and mini skirts. [name_f]Perla[/name_f] has a thick gold choker from [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] that she wears every day. [name_f]Perla[/name_f] and [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] are very close, and [name_f]Perla[/name_f] likes talking to him about everything from school to life to random subjects. [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] taught [name_f]Perl[/name_f] [name_u]French[/name_u] when she was a baby along with [name_f]English[/name_f], which she appreciates because they can speak in code. [name_f]Perl[/name_f] likes playing with [name_f]Lilou[/name_f] and taking her for stroller rides. [name_f]Perl[/name_f] has her own cat, an orange male kitten named [name_u]Jules[/name_u] who she adores.

Family #44, Child #2

Name: [name_f]Viola[/name_f] [name_u]Celeste[/name_u] [name_u]Everly[/name_u] Pinault
Age: 12
Pronouns/Gender: Female, she/her
Sexuality: Uncertain, probably bi with a preference for males
Personality: [name_f]Viola[/name_f] is much more reserved than [name_f]Perla[/name_f], with correspondingly fewer friends, but she has one very close friend, [name_f]Winona[/name_f] Pidgeon, who she’s known since kindergarten and is so close to that [name_m]Jorge[/name_m] and [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] are almost like another set of parents for [name_f]Winona[/name_f], and vice versa. She loves art, and she’ll make a charcoal sketch of almost anything, especially wildlife. Next year, [name_f]Viola[/name_f] and [name_f]Winona[/name_f] want to transfer to a prestigious art-focused boarding school in [name_f]Maple[/name_f] Tree, [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], and although it’ll be harder not having [name_f]Viola[/name_f] around, her dads and sister are excited for her to go. [name_f]Viola[/name_f] spends a lot of her time staring off into space, which sometimes gets her into trouble at school, but while her distant tendencies mean that her grades usually aren’t quite as good as Perla’s, she’s an overall good student, and many teachers have praised her ability to see the world in entirely new ways. [name_f]Viola[/name_f] was
adopted, because her birth mother, named [name_u]Maria[/name_u] Luelle [name_u]Everly[/name_u], was much too young to have a child, but they have some contact. She doesn’t know who her biological father is, and she’s okay with that, because she has two amazing adopted dads. She also has a cat, a black cat with yellow eyes named [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], who is the tiniest, cuddliest cat you will ever meet.
Description: [name_f]Viola[/name_f] is slight and short, with light brown skin and wide blue-violet eyes. Her features are delicate, almost elfish in nature. Her hair is the color of coffee with milk, and she usually wears it in a braid over her shoulder. She wears comfortable clothes in soft colors, and her favorite outfit consists of dark purple leggings with a faint black cat design, a light purple top, a sky-blue knit sweater, and a black cat clip in her hair. She doesn’t usually wear makeup or jewelry, except for the silver leaf-shaped pendant that [name_u]Maria[/name_u] gave her.

[name_f]Maple[/name_f] Tree, [name_u]North[/name_u] [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] is not a real place, it’s where I tend to set stories based in the real world, but it’s very loosely based off of Asheville. Also, her middle name is [name_u]Celeste[/name_u] [name_u]Everly[/name_u] and her last name is Pinault, because [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] and [name_m]Jorge[/name_m] thought that would be easier than a triple-hyphenated last name, and then she would have the same last name as [name_f]Perla[/name_f].

name: Meredith Avani Pidgeon [née Sutton]
birthdate: 12 January, 1973 (50 as of today)
location :round_pushpin:: Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada :canada:
gender/pronouns: She/her (female)
sexuality: Bi with a lean for males
personality: Meredith is a kind and gentle yet headstrong woman, and is the mother of Winona- Winona’s her youngest child. She’s very graceful as well, which she attributes to her profession as an ice skating coach at the rink downtown. She’s been skating since she was two and is extremely good at it, her childhood dream being to play in the Winter Olympics and represent Canada. Unfortunately she did not achieve this dream, but she has become a very good ice skater and LOVES her job. She’s a very caring mother and while she will miss Winona if she ends up going to art school in Maple Tree, North Carolina, she will always support her and visit her once every month. Her and her husband are both “madly in love”, which their older children gently teasing them about this. About a year ago, Meredith made a shocking revelation- she’s attracted to both women and men. Six months ago she told her husband this, and he has supported her completely and let her know that she’s loved and appreciated no matter what, or who she likes. He knows that she loves him, and that’s all that matters to the couple.
Appearance: Meredith is tall at 5’9”, with wide, muscular hips and legs from ice skating and being athletic in general. She’s proudly mixed, and has skin the color of caramel. Her hair is brown, very curly and cascades down her back unless she chooses to pull it up for skating. She’s got hazel green eyes that are catlike and angled slightly upward. She has a long face, high cheekbones and full features, including her lips. She always wears a gold necklace she got from her husband exactly a year ago for her 49th birthday- today she’s turning 50!! She likes wearing heels to accentuate her height and make her look even taller. Apart from caring for her children, Meredith also cares for her mother, who’s witty and outgoing and lives with her and her family. Her dad died when she was ten, and as unfortunate as it is Meredith chooses to honor his memory instead of simply be sad about it and keeps a positive outlook on life.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] so everyone knows, the Pidgeon family is actually something I’ve been working on for a while, so, while feel free to have fun making totally random awesomeness, note that I may use some aspects of the people you create and turn them into different people xD. Canonically, one of the Pidgeon children is [name_f]Valerie[/name_f], but you don’t have to use that name. [name_m]Just[/name_m] thought I’d mention it!

Family #45, parent #2
Name: [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Penn[/name_u] Pidgeon
Age: 48
Gender/pronouns: Male, he/him
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: [name_u]Miles[/name_u] can best be described as a ‘goofy geek dad’, which was apt even before he had children. He just gives off dad vibes, right down to his paper-like jokes, which are tear-able. [name_u]Miles[/name_u] is an introvert, a computer whiz, and Meredith’s opposite in many ways–the clumsiness to her grace, the dad jokes to her dry humor, and the background to her wild rides, occasionally chiming in with a “Mare, that might not be such a good–never mind.” He likes to say he works in computers, but moonlights as a computer worker, which is more accurate than he’d like it to be, since he tends to be slightly sleep-deprived most of the time. He loves his wife and kids so, so much, to the point where he’s probably a little embarrassing, but hey, what are dads for?
Appearance: [name_u]Miles[/name_u] is very short, slightly overweight, and has somewhat bad posture due to spending much of his life hunched over various computer screens. [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] keeps trying to get him to exercise more, but he rarely complies. He has pale skin with the occasional freckle, ocean-blue eyes, and a strong face that could be construed as handsome (by [name_u]Meredith[/name_u], at least) and was probably more so when he was younger. His hair is dark and wavy, cut in a sort of swooshy hipster ‘middle-aged man trying to be cool’ style, and receding in such a way that it looks a bit as though he has cat ears. He has a large and bushy beard, which is much grayer than his hair. He usually wears a black or gray button-down shirt, dark jeans, and an outrageous tie, even when the occasion bears no need for a tie.
Extra: [name_u]Miles[/name_u] has a much-younger sister, [name_u]Misha[/name_u] [name_u]River[/name_u] Pidgeon Nair, who has a five-year-old daughter, [name_f]Lilah[/name_f]. (He doesn’t have a brother, although within my story, there was a copious amount of confusion involving Uncle [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] [name_u]York[/name_u] Pidgeon, Miles’s nonexistent brother and a thoroughly existent evil mastermind, actually named Bobert Spatula Cavatappi. There is also no such person as [name_u]Austen[/name_u] [name_m]Santiago[/name_m] Pidgeon, Uncle Aaron’s entirely fabricated son. Apologies all around for this useless and confusing piece of non-information.)

i figured i’d do the grandmother who lives with them just to tie up some loose ends- the next person can feel free to do the eldest child!

family #45, grandparent #1

name: Lucy Evelyn Sutton [née Davies]
birthdate: 8 May, 1943 (Age 79)
location :round_pushpin:: Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada :canada:
gender/pronouns: she/her (female)
sexuality: straight (ally, of course)
personality: Lucy is the quippy, witty grandmother of the Pidgeon family, who lives with them on account of not being able to care for herself to the fullest anymore, and not wanting to be sent to a nursing home as “such a threat to her freedom would kill her spirit.” Lucy can be a bit unorthodox at times, but her chaos comes with its perks- in her youth she used to be an infamous sleuth. Lucy has always been a very astute, inquisitive person and quickly rose from amateur sleuth to legitimate detective- being a woman of color in the 1960s came with its setbacks, but Lucy didn’t care about what anybody else said about her- instead she continued solving cases with ease and even outsmarting experienced criminals. She traveled from Quebec to Vancouver to Toronto and even to the US on some occasions, and once even to Europe. Many experienced detectives disagreed with her rather chaotic method of solving cases but she didn’t care and completely disregarded their complaints. Unfortunately, Lucy had to retire from her detective career because of a back injury and just aging in general. She met her husband through her job- both were clever young detectives tasked with the case of finding a missing diamond from a museum. Eventually they both found it with the security guard, and befriended each other soon after. They married in 1969 and had three daughters soon after, including her youngest daughter Meredith who she now resides with. She’s always got a story to tell to her grandchildren, who she absolutely adores- especially the oldest, who she’s very close with and is her favorite grandkid out of all the grandchildren- including grandkids from her other daughters. When her daughter came out, she was immensely supportive and proud of her for making that decision. She wishes her husband had never died- he was the only man she ever truly loved and while she’s heartbroken, she is glad she got to spend time with him and knows she’ll see him in heaven.
Appearance: Like her daughter, Lucy is tall (though shorter than her) at 5’8”, and not as muscular as her but still slightly muscular in her legs. She’s in remarkably good health for her age, though the key markers of old age are beginning to show up on her face- her once black hair is now gray, and her skin is creased with slight wrinkles. However, shes still sharp as a tack and often states that “youth is a state of mind.” Her skin is chestnut brown with warm undertones, and she has soft, coily dark gray hair that has some silver streaks. Her eyes are wide and dark brown, and she likes to wear t-shirts and comfortable clothing- Lucy has always been a tomboy with an appreciation for softer outfits. However, she does have a jewelry box- she got it for her husband as a clumsy yet sweet Valentine’s Day present (an attempt to flirt with her) and she’s kept it forever, but is planning to give it to Meredith and Miles’ oldest child when she passes away. However, that doesn’t look like it’ll happen too soon, because Lucy’s in great health for her age. Lucy gets on well with Miles, and enjoys his “dad jokes”- she’s glad her daughter married a good person and that the pair has such a wonderful life and family.

family #45, child #1

name: Odessa Lucy Pidgeon Essie
birthdate: December 24, 1997 (age 25)
location: Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
gender/pronouns: female (she/her)
sexuality: bisexual with a preference for girls

personality: Odessa, who is affectionately called Essie by most of her family, is the first child of Meredith and Miles. Essie is very quippy and witty just like her grandmother but also soft and gentle like her mother. She enjoys ice skating which is an activity that her and her mother bond over but she only does it for fun and not for sport. She prefers dancing, which has been her passion since she was three years old. Essie’s favorite genre is ballet, closely followed by tap dance. Essie is bisexual, first finding that out at age 15 when she began crushing on a girl. She is now happily dating her partner, who she met at a dance recital. Essie is an extrovert to the extreme. She loves being social and she loves going out and having a good time! She has main character energy, especially as her birthday is on Christmas Eve, she’s always felt special. Her favorite thing to do is perform. She works as a dance teacher at the dance school she used to attend during her childhood, and is planning to start her own dance school for young girls and boys. She has her own apartment with her partner, but it is in the same city in which her family lives. She never plans to move far from home, especially as she already lived in New York for the four years she attended Juilliard. Also she simply loves the town she grew up in. She adores her grandmother more than anyone and is so proud to have her name as her middle name. Essie also has a white Maine Coon cat named Fluff that she loves, but she hates the white fur that gets everywhere.

appearance: Essie is 5’9”, the same height as her mother. She has tan skin, lighter than her mother but darker than her father. Her face is spotted with freckles that are more prominent when she’s in the sun. She has the biggest smile that will light up the room along with her loud belly laugh. As a ballerina who ice skates on the side, she is very fit and muscular, but she is also curvy. Essie has cat like hazel eyes similar to her mother’s, but less green. She has dark brown hair that’s both wavy and curly although it’s pretty damaged due to constant straightening over the years for her ballerina buns. Essie has been a girly girl all of her life, loving to wear fluffy dresses and skirts as a child. It’s toned down as she’s gotten older, but she still mainly wears dresses. She constantly wears a gold necklace that says her name, which was a gift from her grandmother, and she also has a nose piercing that she wears a diamond stud in. She has a tattoo behind her Even though she is tall, Essie is not afraid to wear heels when the time calls for it.

name: [name_f]Seraphine[/name_f] " [name_u]Seren[/name_u] " [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] Pidgeon
birthdate: [name_u]July[/name_u] 3rd, 1999 (24)
location :round_pushpin:: Fredericton, [name_u]New[/name_u] Brunswick, [name_f]Canada[/name_f] :canada:
gender/pronouns: She/they [genderfluid]
sexuality: demisexual
personality: Seren’s more reserved than her older sister, bordering on aloof in the eyes of some. For all their differences, she and her dad are very close on account of their mutual ability and love of technology, with Seren’s flat affect and deadpan sense of humour contrasting in a somewhat surreal manner to all the goofy dad jokes, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s known for being quite blunt - although she does provide a warning when asked for advice or feedback - and is hyper critical of herself most of all, being a perfectionist where her programming and graphic work is concerned; currently being on placement within the gaming industry as a modeller. Seren’s very organised and methodical when it comes to getting things done, although it isn’t tied to her OCD - something she dispells when asked about; having been diagnosed when she was 18 after confiding in her grandma about wanting to enquire about the disorder given how it was extra pronounced thanks to her being nervous about rejection from college. Given how put together and austere [name_u]Seren[/name_u] can seem, her softer side is overlooked, as she’s very encouraging of those she cares about, even if it’s expressed in subtler ways such as making suggestions about potential courses or alternative perspectives on projects if they’re feeling put out - something she admits to herself could stem from her own habit of self-critiquing often.
description: Seren’s shorter than her mother and sister at 5’5" - something she affectionately attributes to her dad - and has the same wide hips of her mother, although she admits it’s more genetic and not because she’s athletically inclined, aside from climbing - which she’s pretty confident at. Her complexion is closer to her mum’s, a light caramel, and she has a deep, maroon coloured birthmark on her left wrist which she calls a rorschach test for how every member of her family insists it looks like something different. The oval shape of her face is evened out by her rounder cheeks, which compliment her figure more, but she’s also very proud of her full lips which [name_u]Seren[/name_u] considers her favourite feature. Her eyes are more similar shape wise to her mum, but their hazel colour is mingled with the blue of her dad’s, and her hair texture is the same as his: deep brown, wavy and cut at the mid-point of her back, usually tied into two plaits when she’s working. Seren’s aesthetic is dark pixiecore, incorporating lots of lace, mesh and knit items while usually opting for a darker colour scheme, although she’s never averse to bringing in brighter shades for a contrast. Usually when working or relaxing she goes for oversized tees depicting mythology or fantastical creatures, however when given total fashion freedom she’s currently very into her knit sleeves and midi skirts with intricate embroidery. Seren’s ears are heavily pierced and she has her tongue, as well as her upper lip, pierced; as well as a fairy ring tattoo across her shoulders, something she got for her 19th birthday.

family #45, kids #3 and #4

name: Tatum Spencer Pidgeon + Valerie Solstice Pidgeon
birthdate: October 18, 2005 (both aged 17)
location :round_pushpin:: Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada :canada:
gender/pronouns: Tatum : he/they , Val : she/they
sexuality: Tatum is bi, Valerie is questioning
description: Tatum and Valerie are the best of friends and stereotypical twins in that regard, though they do often have their disagreements. They shared a room up until they were eight not because there wasn’t enough room in the house (there was more than enough), but because Tate and Val didn’t want to move rooms and were inseparable (and arguably still are). The two were crushed when Essie and Seren moved out of the house, but were always happy about having each other. Tatum tends to fade into the background compared to his headstrong, wayward sister Valerie, who is often the main decision maker who will get the pair into trouble. They’re both pretty athletic, with Valerie and Tatum both being involved in hockey and Tatum being involved in football- Valerie also climbs on occasion as a hobby, though not nearly as much as she used to. Tate is romantically involved with someone- a boy on his football team who’s the captain. But Val isn’t so sure- actually, she thinks she might be ace and aromantic, but she’s not sure. The main difference between Tatum and Valerie- besides their genders and varying personalities, of course- is what they want to do in life. Val’s sure she wants to be a forensic scientist (and solve mysteries, just like her grandmother), while Tatum’s not so sure. Valerie is headstrong and determined about her career path- in fact, she’s known since she was nine. But Tatum can’t stop stressing about his future career, and is always anxious about what’s to come next. But Valerie is trying to help him through his confusion, as is the rest of their family. Tatum and Valerie love hanging out with their siblings- Valerie is especially fond of Winona, the youngest, who she considers to be her “best friend.”
Appearances: Tatum stands at below average height at 5’5”, almost 5’6”, and is very thin and lean from eating so little and playing football- he’s a running back and is very petite for a boy. However Valerie is 5’7, and she always brags to Tatum about being soooo much taller than him, even though it’s only an inch or two. Valerie has the same wide-hipped figure as her mom and sister, but apart from body composition the twins generally look the same- they both have the same tan skin color, the same pale green eyes and the same straight black hair. Tatum’s is styled in a fashion that it hangs in his eyes a little bit, and is grown so long that it would be considered shaggy by most. Valerie’s is straight, back-length and swishes around when she walks, and she’ll often flip her hair once she’s proven a point. They both have a bit more of a round face, but they still definitely have full cheekbones and lips from their mother. Tatum has a light sprinkling of golden-brown freckles on his nose and cheeks that are most noticeable when in direct sunlight, while Valerie doesn’t have any freckles- well, except for the freckle on her collarbone, but she insists that’s a birthmark, not a freckle. Valerie and Tatum like wearing clothes that are comfortable and allow for maximum movement, as both are athletic. Valerie and Tatum have friendship bracelets that they made in kindergarten, thick and bright neon green with a pink stripe down the middle, that they always wear.

Winona’s kinda already been created so I don’t know if anybody needs to do her!! She’s kind of already there!

Gender: Male (he/him)
Sexuality: Pansexual

Personality: Proud father of two grown children, this world history teacher is happily living his life. While neither of his children have had children of his own, he’s suspecting one is pregnant. He’s not at all demanding of grandchildren, however, although his happy-pappy nature may make people mistake him for one! He knows his 60s wasn’t what he expected, especially since he believed he’d retire, but now he doesn’t want to retire until he’s at least 70! Aside from teaching world history, he’s also an author of non-fiction books about the flora and fauna of [name_f]Canada[/name_f].

Appearance: He is a dark-skinned and dark-eyed biracial; being from a [name_m]Black[/name_m] Ivorian father and Middle Eastern Jordanian mother. He is Muslim but not super religious, although he celebrates all Muslim holidays and observances. He is a tall 6’2 and has very long legs. He has a dimple on his face and mostly grey hair but still retains a few noticeable dark strands. Recently, he’s grown out his beard after years of shaving and he’s rocking it. He often wears button-down shirts and slacks. He’s the type who never wears suits, except at weddings.

Name: [name_u]Charles[/name_u] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] [Rinz] Devonne-Rinz [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
DOB: [name_u]October[/name_u] 24 1959
Location: Squamish, [name_f]British[/name_f] [name_f]Columbia[/name_f], [name_f]Canada[/name_f]
Gender: Male (he/him)
Sexuality: [name_u]Gay[/name_u]
Personality: [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] is the husband of [name_m]Aziz[/name_m] and the other father of their two grown children. He suspects his child is pregnant as well but is choosing not to say anything as he feels it’s not his place to interfere or meddle in their personal life, despite being very happy for them if they are pregnant. Charlie’s a bit more timid and reserved than [name_m]Aziz[/name_m], and considers himself to be an introverted person, but loves his family regardless and can be very talkative around people he’s close with. Charlie’s very bright and works as an engineer, and like [name_m]Aziz[/name_m] he has no plans of retiring anytime soon. [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] grew up in a large Catholic family (he’s one of six kids!) but isn’t part of the faith anymore- he believes in [name_m]God[/name_m] but doesn’t consider himself particularly religious though he is still in close contact with all his siblings- they all live in [name_f]British[/name_f] [name_f]Columbia[/name_f] still and he’s close with all of them. He does still celebrate Muslim holidays and observances out of support for [name_m]Aziz[/name_m], and the couple decided to let their children choose their faith. [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] was the first person who got to hold his oldest child- the oldest was an open adoption and both [name_m]Aziz[/name_m] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] were present for the birth, which was long and tedious but “100% worth it”, as both men always say. The younger was a closed adoption, and they were jealous of their older sibling because they wanted to know their birth parents, but in the end they’re glad because their real parents are [name_m]Aziz[/name_m] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], and they wouldn’t trade their relationship with their dads for the world.
Appearance: Charlie’s on the shorter side for a man at 5’7” tall, and has skinny limbs and a thin body. He’s pale-skinned and lightly freckled, with a soft and feminine-looking face which has been creased by wrinkles and laugh lines. His eyes are a dark shade of blue-green-gray, and everyone in his family insists they’re a different color. He also has pale gray hair that used to be a light shade of brown, but has since faded. He likes to wear button-down shirts and khakis, and is always dressed practically.

Family #46, Child #1

Name: Samira Shea Devonne-Rinz
Birthdate: July 14, 1996 (Age 26)
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Gender/pronouns: female (she/her)
Sexuality: straight

Personality: Samira, who also goes by Mira, is the first child of her fathers, Aziz and Charles. Mira has always been the stubborn one in her family, which also contributes to her determination that makes her successful. Samira is not a people person, very in tune with herself. She interacts with people she loves and with others if necessary, but otherwise she’d rather be alone in her studio and paint her thoughts away. Painting has always been a hobby of hers, and after going to a psychiatrist and getting diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 23, her therapist recommended her to use painting as an outlet rather than participating in the alternatives, and she’s become extremely talented. She always has been, but the constant focus on painting over the years has allowed her to develop her own unique style and perfect her skill. Mira isn’t shy, as she will not hesitate to tell you what’s on her mind. She is very blunt, sometimes to a fault. She is currently engaged to the love she met in college, and after seeing him be there for her through all of her mental struggles, she sees herself spending the rest of her life with him. She’s extremely grateful for her entire support system, including her birth parents. She works as an illustrator for a children’s book series, loving her job where she can be creative and for people to love it immensely.

Appearance: Samira stands at 5’7”, a little bit above average. She’s skinny, due to her fast metabolism as she doesn’t work out much at all, but she did just pick up Pilates. She has medium brown skin and a lot of curly hair that she enjoys wearing out and it’s dyed burgundy. Mira has hazel eyes that usually look light brown, but her fiancé loves to point out the little green and gold parts in her eyes. She has three freckles, one on her chin, her nose and her cheek. Her style is very eclectic, she just wears whatever she likes. Most of her wardrobe is black as she thinks it’s the most conventional. She loves to wear jewelry and she prefers silver.

Name: [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aziza[/name_f] Devonne-Rinz
Birthdate: [name_u]June[/name_u] 6, 2000 (Age 22)
Location: [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_f]British[/name_f] [name_f]Columbia[/name_f], [name_f]Canada[/name_f]
Gender/pronouns: female (she/her)
Sexuality: straight
Personality: [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is a quiet personality, but she can be very loud once you get to know her. She’s very sarcastic and can be a bit of a cynic at times, but she’s very passionate about the things she’s interested in. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] works as an adoption agent in Seattle, USA, and lives in [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] so she can commute to work faster, but she misses her childhood home of Squamish and wants to go back. She’s the child that her family suspects is pregnant, and they’re right though nobody knows it yet, not even [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. Her boyfriend lives in Seattle and he’s planning to move up to canada with her. If [name_f]Iris[/name_f] found out about her pregnancy she’d feel very conflicted- of course she’d keep it, as she’s always wanted children, but she planned on adopting them all. However, whatever happens, [name_f]Iris[/name_f] will be okay with it. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] only knows two things about her birth mother- she was 23, and from Toronto. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] used to really want to know her but now she’s content with not ever having known her, as she’s just happy to have her real dads.
Appearance: [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is 5’4 and chubby for her height, at 140 pounds, which she used to be very insecure about but is for the most part fine with now. She’s pale and freckly all over, with a curly mess of tangly red hair and dark brown eyes that are slightly angled upwards in a catlike fashion. She likes to wear fashionable yet comfortable clothes, and heels to make her look a little taller.

Family #47, Parent #1

Name: Ada Zuzanna Sokolowski
Birthdate: October 7 1989 (age 34)
Location📍: Clementine, California
Gender: Female
Pronouns: she/her
Sexuality: Aromantic-Asexual
Personality: Ada is a friendly, outgoing person who’s charismatic but often talks herself into things she can’t get out of- she’s much different from her more reserved sister Eve, who’s often distant and cold towards her family (of course, not intentionally- she just gets too caught up in her work and it takes a toll on her mental health and relationships). Despite this chaos created by Eves work environment, she’s got a great relationship with her little sister Ada and the pair, despite living a considerable distance away from each other, still love and enjoy doing work calls and Eve’s kids enjoy talking to their cousins. Along with 2 of her own biological kids, Ada is fostering a set of 4 siblings and though she hasn’t told them, she plans to adopt them. She lives in Clementine, California (made-up place as far as I know) which is a wealthy town in Western California (sort of near Nevada), and conceived her two bio-kids through a donor- she’s happy raising them as a single parent and wouldn’t have it any other way. Her foster kids can’t go back to their parents as they are unable to care for her permanently, but she’s planning on raising them as she loves them like they’re her own. Her foster kids are all well into their teenage years, while her bilogical kids are 12 and 7.
Physical: Like her sister Eve, Ada is 5’6” and has a curvy figure- her face is round and soft like her body features, and her eyes are a dark shade of brown that’s almost black. Her medium-brown hair which is on the darker side of medium is cut to neck-length and cropped close to her head, and curls out slightly at the ends- she’s also got a small fringe, and a few honey strands of hair that are natural highlights. Ada likes dressing comfortably but occasionally enjoys dresses. She’s a successful businesswoman who doesn’t mind wearing a suit every once in a while for her job, either- it’s a flexible schedule, and Ada will often stay up until the wee hours of the night pitching her sales projects, but she makes an effort to get a good sleep schedule and balance out spending time with her kids.

Name: [name_m]Hart[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] Sokolowski
Birthdate: [name_u]August[/name_u] 23, 2010 (Age 12)
Gender/pronouns: Male (he/him)
Location: [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_u]California[/name_u]
Sexuality: unknown

Personality: Like his mother, [name_m]Hart[/name_m] is charismatic and outgoing. He can talk for literal hours about the things he is passionate about. He is not shy at all, and is usually one of the first children to introduce themselves on the first day of school. He loves music and instruments, his favorite being piano and guitar. He wants to be a musician when he grows up, part of a band. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though most of them were a little before his time, he loves boy bands. [name_m]Hart[/name_m] adores his little sibling, even though he was a bit jealous of them at first. He’s very caring towards everyone and he always stands up to the people that bully others in school. He is a bit mature for his age, but he’s aware of that so he doesn’t judge the other children for doing things that he wouldn’t. [name_m]Hart[/name_m] also has a Guinea pig named [name_f]Muffin[/name_f] that he adores.

Apperance: [name_m]Hart[/name_m] is a lean tween boy, not chubby and not too skinny. He’s 5’1”, not much more than average 12 year old boy height. He has soft features like his mother and people say that makes him look more feminine, not that he minds. His eye are big and brown, almost black. He has light brown wavy hair, almost blonde, with purple and green highlights. He loves to dye his hair bold colors and he loves that his mother allows him to express himself in that way. He has ear piercings on both ears that he asked for at age 8, and he doesn’t regret them. Most of his outfits consist of band tshirts with black jeans and black or red converse. His mother jokes and calls it his “uniform.” [name_m]Hart[/name_m] is farsighted, so he wears glasses that are black rectangular frames.
