Name: [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Annabella[/name_f] MacLellan-Albertson
Age: 6
Gender: Girl
Personality: As the younger twin, [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] tends to take her sisters’ lead and is happy doing this most of the time, having all of [name_u]Lisa[/name_u]’s shyness but shares [name_u]George[/name_u]’s talent for making others laugh when she feels confident enough to speak up. She’s also very curious and a proves herself to be a good listener, taking a step back when it comes to socialising, but always learning tidbits others overlook thanks to this.
Basic Description: [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] has auburn hair, unlike her twin, but otherwise shares many similarities to her mum, albeit with heavier freckles. She’s known as [name_u]Alex[/name_u]’s sidekick affectionately but doesn’t mind this, although when she wants time to herself she can always be found with the family cats: [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] and [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]. While she’s quieter about it, [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] can’t wait to become a big sister!

Family 12, Child 2 and 1/2
Name: [name_m]Unknown[/name_m]
Age: Unborn
Gender: Boy
Basic Desription: Currently refered to as [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Boy, this little guy is giving his mother one heck of a hard pregnancy. Her morning sickness is worse than when she was pregnant with the twins. What’s worse, his little foot caught in between two of her ribs! [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] thinks they should call him [name_m]Kicker[/name_m], because he always makes a rumble when [name_u]Alex[/name_u] puts her hand on her mother’s belly (with the one foot he can still use). [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] wants to call him [name_u]George[/name_u], or [name_u]George[/name_u] [name_m]Junior[/name_m], after his mother. [name_u]George[/name_u] herself thinks this would be a bit confusing, but it’s not completely off the table. [name_u]Lisa[/name_u] has got lots of names in mind, the most poignant being [name_m]Leo[/name_m], a small tribute to her own name. [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] and [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] won’t seem to leave [name_u]Lisa[/name_u] alone during this pregnancy, either, and the family is starting to think that [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Boy might be a special favorite of their’s. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] means “[name_m]Lion[/name_m]”, king of the cats.

Name: [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Nim[/name_f]’ [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] Goodridge
Age: 40
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: [name_f]Nim[/name_f]’s an optimist who has a constant happy-go-lucky vibe about her and tackles problems head on. She can be a little spacey sometimes and loses her car keys on a regular basis but is so used to it she can now laugh it off. One of her principles is trying to see good in everyone, always wanting to give others a chance if they’ve been written off, and she’s an incredibly loving, affectionate individual. Creativity is also rife about her and she’s a talented problem solver thanks to this particular trait.
Basic Description: Blonde hair, blue-green eyes, just below average height and with a curvy build, [name_f]Nim[/name_f]’s a huge fan of dungarees (and is so glad they’ve come back into fashion!). As an art therapist she’s used to helping others, meaning she handles being a parent to five children well and does her best to try and understand the new fads and trends they’re all so fond of. She has a small tattoo of a bluejay on her back, which she got on her honeymoon as a constant reminder of what a magical time she had.

Name: [name_m]Adam[/name_m] [name_m]Victor[/name_m] Eccles
Age: 43
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: [name_m]Adam[/name_m]’s a hands on dad who’s completely devoted to his family, although he can seem a little withdrawn compared to his wife. Growing up an introvert, he’s still retained a quietness about him, although he seems less standoffish now and has a calming influence on others’. He’s articulate and level-headed, always doing his best to encourage others’, and while less openly affectionate than [name_f]Nim[/name_f], he’s great at providing comfort and advice at times they’re needed.
Basic Description: Dark brown hair, green eyes, tall and slender with a dark birthmark on the left hand side of his neck that caused some insecurity for him growing up. [name_m]Adam[/name_m] works in special effects and loves picking up memorabilia around sets to bring back home for the kids! He’s the one who always ensures the family’s organised and acts as head peace-keeper, now with some help from his eldest daughter. Inherently creative, [name_m]Adam[/name_m] always encourages his children in this regard but understands not everyone’s the same and just wants to see them happy.

Name: [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_u]Blue[/name_u] Eccles “[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]”
Age: 16
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: The oldest of five, [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] has always been highly protective and maternal. Growing up, she was always overwhelmed with the number of babies in the house and even told her parents she didn’t want any more. Despite this, she loves each of her siblings fiercely and unequivocally. [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] was named after her father’s favorite bird and her mother’s memory of their honeymoon. She hates being called her long and boring full name “[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]”. [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] is highly outspoken and opinionated, but well-liked. Inevitably, she’s very creative.
Basic Description: [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] got her mother’s blonde hair and shortness, but her dad’s slender build and green eyes. Like her dad, [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] is very hands-on, so she keeps her hair short and out of the way. She wants to be in special effects, too, and keeps every one of her dad’s treasures from work lined neatly on a shelf. When her parents are at work, which is always, [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] is Head Babysitter and her first priority is to keep the peace. Her little siblings are especially rowdy, with the exception of her sister, who wants to be Assistant-Head-Babysitter. Being the oldest, she’s the only one with her own room. [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] appreciates this, except that it’s hardly private. Her little siblings plan invades all the time.

Name: [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] Eccles “[name_f]Cora[/name_f]”
Age: 10
Sexuality: [name_u]Gay[/name_u] asexual
Personality: [name_f]Happy[/name_f]-go-lucky, [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is the star of the family (or so she likes to believe). She is very exuberant and moods swing constantly. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] was named for paternal Gran [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] as the first (and most dominant) of the triplet girls. [name_f]Nim[/name_f] and [name_m]Victor[/name_m] think one day she’ll be a Broadway star.
Basic Description: eyes that are blue or green depending on the moment and her mood, she’s the only strawberry blonde in the family besides Gran. However, unlike Gran’s, Cora’s hair falls in unruly ringlets. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is tall and decidedly lanky. She has a short nose and round face, and believes she is very beautiful, aside from a port-wine stain across her right jawbone. [name_f]Cora[/name_f] excels in school, except for reading, with a diagnosis of dyslexia. Her favorite subject is art and she plays soccer after school. Whenever a new movie comes out, she and her sister beg [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] to take them to the theatre.

Name: [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] ‘[name_u]Asa[/name_u]’ [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] Eccles
Age: 10
Sexuality: [name_m]Unknown[/name_m]
Personality: As the middle triplet, [name_u]Asa[/name_u]’s the voice of calm and reason (most of the time). She tries her best to be mature and collected, although this does mean she can be overshadowed by [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. A side effect of this leads to her seeming a little sombre and shy, but when she wants her voice to be heard, [name_u]Asa[/name_u] will go above and beyond to ensure this happens. She’s incredibly loyal though and once she feels comfortable around someone, she shows a surprisingly witty sense of humour. Part of her is also very sentimental and she cherished her dads’ gifts immensely, being very careful to take good care of them.
Description: [name_u]Asa[/name_u] has her fathers’ dark hair - which she loves styling - and the green-blue eyes of her mum, with a gap between her front teeth she feels distinguishes her further. Her greatest passion is music and she’s shown a great aptitude for it academically, playing both the cello and piano, with a dream of attending some sort of school designed for musicians specifically when she’s older. She admires her eldest sister [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] deeply and does her best to support her, even if she’s less self-assured.

Name: [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_u]Onyx[/name_u] Eccles ‘[name_f]Vera[/name_f]’
Age: 10
Sexuality: [name_m]Unknown[/name_m]
Personality: [name_f]Vera[/name_f]‘s friendly and gentle natured, with a big heart and affectionate demeanor. A side effect of this is she can be over sensitive at times, but as she’s gotten older this has calmed considerably. She’s playful and friendly, striking the balance between [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_u]Asa[/name_u] to be the triplet best at making friends. In spite of her sensitivity, she’s always enthusiastic about trying new things and always tries to have something positive to contribute.
Description: Blonde haired and green eyed, [name_f]Vera[/name_f] is shorter than her sisters’, often dressing in a very feminine, cutesy manner. She was a little jealous when her younger brother was born, ending her status as baby of the family, but has come to adore him and she’s forever playing games with him or encouraging him to new mediums of art! [name_f]Vera[/name_f]'s a dancer who enjoys ballet and tap most, but recently modern styles have captured her interest and she’s turning her attention towards them.

Age: 6
Sexuality: unknown (why is [name_m]Unknown[/name_m] a name???)
Personality: as the only boy in the family, he enjoys solitary activities. [name_u]Ren[/name_u] is always drawing, singing, reading, or playing catch with himself. He is very used to being spoiled by [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f], and is very competitive with [name_f]Cora[/name_f]. He loves to crack jokes that only make sense to him.
Basic Description: green-eyed and wavy-dark-haired, he’s the spitting image of [name_m]Victor[/name_m]. He’s built short and sturdy, but perhaps he’ll grow out of it. [name_u]Ren[/name_u] is intelligent and loves to read. He likes to tag along to work with [name_f]Nim[/name_f], so he can avoid the craziness of the house and Assistant-Head-Babysitters (and draw). He often wears his sisters’ hand-me-downs (especially [name_f]Cora[/name_f]’s soccer jerseys) and jeans.

Age: 45
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: [name_f]Laura[/name_f] is strong-willed, outspoken and straight to the point, with a very driven nature. She’s never afraid of letting her voice be heard and can seem intimidating to some thanks to her passionate nature. In spite of this intimidating edge, she has an infectious laugh and dry sense of humour. She’s also pretty brazen and great at taking charge of a situation when needed, being a born leader.
Description: Average height and slender with light brown hair and light blue eyes, almost always wears contact lenses as she hates how glasses look on her. [name_f]Laura[/name_f]'s a single mother who’s raised her three children since she split from her ex-partner and is fiercely protective of them, even now two are attending university - but this is matched in her pride in them and how deeply she cares.

She also has a fondness for heels as they help her become taller - something Laura forever wishes she could be!

Personality: [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] is funny, always joking around. Sometimes he doesn’t know how to stop joking, but usually he can read the room. [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] is an children’s author and has a huge imagination, creating silly monsters and hilarious characters for his books. The reason he and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] divorced was because she was having a hard time with alcohol and he joked around too much.

Description: short, brown hair, and warm brown eyes, with the freckles she never grew out of as a kid. [name_f]Jinny[/name_f] met [name_f]Laura[/name_f] at a fundraiser for their favorite charity, as they both care deeply about the environment.

Name: [name_f]Demi[/name_f] [name_f]Catrina[/name_f] Northover-Hastings
Age: 20
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: [name_f]Demi[/name_f]'s got all the will power of her mother, but is a little more restrained when it comes to how she conveys this. She’s incredibly loyal to her friends and family, being protective of her younger siblings, but she’s gotten better at not being so nosy (still she’s an excellent eavesdropper). [name_f]Demi[/name_f] can be a bit severe when it comes to upset, having taken quite some time to reconnect with her dad, but now they’re close once more, she spends every moment of their time together making up for what time they lost out on. She’s a total hopeless romantic though, forever looking for the right person to settle down with, and can become a tad melodramatic when things fall through (which stems from her fear of loneliness).
Description: Standing a little above average height, [name_f]Demi[/name_f] has the thick, dark brown hair of her dad - cut short as it tangles easily - and the light blue eyes of her mum. She recently got her first tattoo - a too cute cat - on her right wrist, something she’s very proud of. A philosophy student, [name_f]Demi[/name_f]'s younger siblings love to joke will drive her mad eventually, and she usually responds to these comments with a role of the eyes. Her best friend, [name_f]Sarai[/name_f]'s, arranged a date for her soon, which she’s been endlessly talking to [name_f]Jinny[/name_f] about on the phone, as she believes her stepmum is the best at sound advice.

Name: [name_m]Zander[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] Northover-Hastings
Age: 18
Sexuality: Pansexual
Personality: The only boy, [name_m]Zander[/name_m]’s a total sweetheart, who’s calmness compliments the determination of [name_f]Demi[/name_f] and the energy of [name_f]Kylie[/name_f]. He can come across as a little flaky and indecisive, part of having a less confident manner, but he’s always the first to compromise and listen to others’. He’s always going out of his way to cheer others’ up and inherited his fathers’ imaginative streak, although he channels this into art opposed to literature, which in part was influenced by the fact he’s dyslexic.
Description: [name_m]Zander[/name_m] has his fathers’ height but is very skinny, with light brown hair and blue-grey eyes. He’s just began studying illustration and attends the same university as his boyfriend, [name_u]Liam[/name_u], who he’s been with since they met doing a foundation year at college. All [name_m]Zander[/name_m]’s ever wanted is for his family to be happy, and this is finally coming together, which is a massive relief for him (although the only person he ever really confessed his fears to was his big sister). When he isn’t doodling or at his part-time job, [name_m]Zander[/name_m]’s trying to split his time between his friends’ and family as evenly as possible, or taking a few minutes to relax with [name_f]Laura[/name_f] and [name_f]Jinny[/name_f]’s cat, Mothball.

@Lindseylloyd052399 As [name_f]Laura[/name_f]’s two oldest children are of university age, would it be alright for [name_f]Kylie[/name_f] to be the youngest instead? So no-one’s left out!

Name: [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Adaline[/name_f] [name_f]Eire[/name_f] [name_u]Calloway[/name_u] “[name_f]Ella[/name_f]”
Age: 17
Sexuality: [name_u]Gay[/name_u]
Personality: [name_f]Ella[/name_f] is the charming “popular girl” who loves to be the center of attention. She can be manipulative, and likes to get her way. Since she’s the eldest of two, she’s gotten the attention she depends on for most of her life, until now, which has caused her to become a bit bratty and jealous.
Basic Description: [name_f]Ella[/name_f] has bright blue eyes and strawberry-blonde hair, which used to fall messily in loose curls, but it’s tamed down to be thin waves. She has freckles and a round face, and is slightly above-average height (all of which are thanks to her Irish genes), but hates her un-womanly body. She dwells on her faults and not her gifts, but is trying to improve herself all the time. [name_f]Ella[/name_f] wants to be a veterinary surgeon, and she’s always teasing her little brother about being a “music nerd”. [name_f]Ella[/name_f] is certain her true love is her prom date, [name_u]Abby[/name_u], who she met at a farmers’ market.
