Family #14, Child #5

Name: [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] [name_m]Cillian[/name_m] Tadgh [name_u]Calloway[/name_u]
Age: 15
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: Being [name_f]Ella[/name_f]’s little brother, [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] has adapted to be a relatively quiet and carefree person. He has learned to let his sister do her own thing, but also to compliment her every time he gets the chance. Being on her bad side isn’t pleasant. [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] plays piano, violin, and a little cello. He’s very proud of it, although he never tells anyone, and takes his sister’s teasing as a compliment. He’s not too worried about the transition when his mom and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] get married. He likes [name_f]Laura[/name_f] quite a bit, and he’s really glad his mom is happy. His only concern is [name_f]Ella[/name_f]. She’s already a bit on edge, but he’s hopeful nothing goes sideways with their new step-siblings. [name_m]Zander[/name_m] has always been a few years ahead of [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] in school and [name_u]Jamie[/name_u]’s art teacher uses [name_m]Zander[/name_m]’s work as an example all the time. [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] feels like he already kinda knows [name_m]Zander[/name_m] because of that.
Basic Description: [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] is tall and lanky, and the basketball coach at school has been bugging him to try out. Basketball isn’t [name_u]Jamie[/name_u]’s jam, but recently, [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] has fallen a bit in love with his (totally platonic) girl-friend. [name_u]Friend[/name_u] who is a girl but not that way. He and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] have been best friends since they were little, and nothing was ever weird until now. He’s hoping to impress her by making the team. [name_f]Kylie[/name_f] has told him over and over that he should try to win [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] some other way besides changing himself, but [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] has been practicing in the driveway for the past month.

Name: [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] ‘[name_m]Fitz[/name_m]’ [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] Kilbride
Age: 37
Sexuality: [name_u]Gay[/name_u]
Personality: Polite and well-spoken, [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] comes across as aloof at first, but this hides the fact he has a big heart and is very affectionate once he’s comfortable around someone. He can be a bit of a stress head at times - which breaks his usually composed, quiet demeanor - but has gotten better at managing this as he’s gotten older. He’s much more prone to listening than speaking, but where certain topics are concerned, he can talk forever!
Basic Description: [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] is tall and lanky, with fair skin that burns easily (at odds with his love of travel), light brown hair and hazel eyes. Working as a magazine editor allows him to be at home with his two children, something he absolutely loves, and when he’s feeling spontaneous the family goes adventuring, thanks to his knack of finding remote, lovely spots. [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] was also the dad who spent ages being uncertain about the family getting a dog, but when their black lab - Spiral - was bought home from a rescue shelter two years ago, he fell in love, and absolutely eggs on the children’s adoration of her.

Name: [name_u]Corey[/name_u] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] DeSoto
Age: 37
Sexuality: [name_u]Gay[/name_u]
Personality: [name_u]Corey[/name_u]’s laidback and easy going, having the perfect calmness to help with his husbands’ stressing. Behind his chill veneer, he’s a very analytical though, and has an excellent memory - which helps in particular where birthday’s are concerned, approaching pretty much everything with a level head and reassuring smile. He’s an excellent procrastinator at times though, and his dreaminess definitely doesn’t help this, but does gel perfectly with his approach to problem solving.
Description: [name_u]Corey[/name_u]’s a little shorter than [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] with a slim build and deep tan, with black hair and green eyes. As a tattoo artist, he has quite a bit of ink himself - his favourite of which he got on the night he and [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] met at a party - and often is musing about getting more. He’s always encouraging his children’s self-expression, and may have conspired with them to get Spiral, having grown up with numerous pets himself. [name_u]Corey[/name_u]’s a hopeless romantic too though, always leaving little notes around the house for his husband and forever gushing to his friends and colleagues, which they love to tease him over at get-together’s.

Name: [name_m]William[/name_m] “[name_m]Willy[/name_m]” [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] Kilbride-Desoto
Age: 10
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Although named after both of his dads, [name_m]Willy[/name_m] takes after [name_u]Corey[/name_u]. He’s an only child, but he doesn’t mind it, as it gets him more attention. With a little bit of spunk, [name_m]Willy[/name_m]’s known to be quite the troublemaker in school, but he keeps his grades up. His dads love to encourage him to explore new things and explore he does. [name_m]Willy[/name_m] joined the Boy Scouts, after some convincing [name_m]Fitz[/name_m]. [name_u]Happy[/name_u]-go-lucky, [name_m]Willy[/name_m] is the only child that [name_u]Corey[/name_u] & [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] could have ever asked for.
Description: [name_m]Willy[/name_m], being adopted, looks nothing like his dads. He’s got a pair of dark blue eyes and the blondest hair you’ve ever seen. Tall for his age, and athletic, [name_m]Willy[/name_m] considers himself quite the ladies (and gents) man. His best pal, Spiral, never fails to make him laugh. He loves the fact that [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] works at home, but wishes he would let him get a tattoo. After all, [name_u]Corey[/name_u] said it’s okay…

Age: 7
Sexuality: She’s seven and currently wants to marry her guniea pig, so who cares?
Personality: In addition to being the younger of the two Kilbridge-DeSoto’s, she is also the weird one. She gets lost in her imagination more often than not, and is the “Priqueg” of the kingdom, because, as she says, “[name_f]Princess[/name_f] is too frilly, [name_m]Prince[/name_m] is too spoiled, [name_f]Queen[/name_f] is too fancy and [name_m]King[/name_m] is too boring”. [name_m]Even[/name_m] at seven, she has very strong opinions and has already decided on being president.
Description: [name_f]Andi[/name_f]’s small figure makes her look closer to five than seven, and a good foot shorter than her brother at 4 feet zero inches. She was adopted from a teen mom in the neighborhood, and looks just like her birth mom with dark hair, dark eyes, and a huge smile.

Family #16, Parent #2

Name: [name_u]Reign[/name_u] [name_u]Montgomery[/name_u] Yeoman
Age: 23
Sexuality: Pansexual
Personality: In contrast to [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u], [name_u]Reign[/name_u] can seem moody and distant at first. He’s a quiet person who isn’t the most sociable, but around those he knows, he has a wicked sense of humour and always tries his best to cheer others’ up. He’s also incredibly stubborn at times, with a determined attitude which does give him a strong work ethic. [name_u]Reign[/name_u] also has a naturally protective side, which is most pronounced where his family are concerned, dogs included of course.
Basic Description: [name_u]Reign[/name_u]'s 5’10" and slight, with wild dark curls and deep blue eyes, having got his nose pierced when he was sixteen and now wears a stud which is [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u]'s birthstone. [name_u]Reign[/name_u] had an unsteady childhood, meaning he wants nothing but happiness and reassurance for his own children, making scrapbooks of family holidays and birthdays for them to look back on when they’re older, as he’s undeniably nostalgic. Having a love of animals prompted him to study zoology and he now works at a zoo with penguins (something that delights his kids, who he’s always giving updates). Reign met Chelsea when they were twelve and was smitten from day one, although he was surprised that she felt the same way at first.

Age: 4
Sexuality: N/A
Personality: Lenore is Chelsea.2 in terms of her nature! She’s high-spirited, fun loving and definitely more than a little goofy, always going at a mile a minute.

Lenore shares her parents love of animals and has a compassionate side, always rescuing injured one’s and insisting on personally leaving out food for the neighbourhood hedgehog
Description: Lenore takes after both her parents physically, with her dad’s curly hair and her mum’s hazel eyes, although she’s inherited freckles from her maternal grandma and. Out of the family’s three dogs, the oldest - Mickey, a German Shepherd - is her favourite, and she loves cuddling him while watching TV. At first she was uncertain about becoming a big sister, but upon learning it meant a playmate she warmed up quickly.

Age: 1
Sexuality: N/A

Name: [name_f]Leanne[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Leah[/name_f]’ [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] O’Gara (nee Gainsborough)
Age: 32
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: Warm and friendly, [name_f]Leanne[/name_f] always tries her best to remain positive and upbeat. She tries her best to be understanding of others, approaching things with compassion and open-mindedness, always being the first to compromise. This does lead to her being a tad over-emotional at times, and she can take things to heart when they’re not too serious. In spite of her caring nature, [name_f]Leanne[/name_f] doesn’t smother her loved ones, and supports them in whatever they set their minds too.
Description: [name_f]Leanne[/name_f]’s 5’3" and has a curvaceous figure, with dark brown hair, soft brown eyes and a heart shaped face. Her life hasn’t always been easy, as she had her eldest child at sixteen, receiving no support from her then-boyfriend, and then balanced motherhood with her studies, now working as a midwife: a career she loves. She adores her family and will be there for them in a second, having a playful side that led to the family cat - Marshmallow - being adopted after some not so subtle hints from the kids.

Name: [name_f]Roisin[/name_f] [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] O’Gara
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: [name_f]Roisin[/name_f] is shy - especially when compared to her parents - and mature for her age, having a good head on her shoulders in spite of lacking much self-confidence. She’s got the same big heart as her mum though, being trustworthy and kind, with a very understanding nature when it comes to others. Deep down, she wishes she could speak up more and find her voice (especially with five younger siblings about), but finding this still proves harder than what [name_f]Roisin[/name_f] had hoped.
Basic Description: [name_f]Roisin[/name_f]’s tall for her age with a slim build like her dad, having inherited his blue eyes, although she shares her mum’s dark hair, recently having gotten braces. She’s academically talented - especially at history - and has a fascination with the past, especially her paternal ancestry in [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], having been delighted to visit on a holiday with the family. Always finishing her homework early, this gives her plenty of time to spend with [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] and their guinea pig: Sherbet.

Name: [name_m]Keir[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] O’Gara
Age: 11
Gender: Male
Sexuality: N/A
Personality: [name_m]Kier[/name_m] has a big imagination and forever loves to display this, forever creating new stories or wondering about the fantastical. As he’s grown older, this has lead to him developing an insatiable curiosity too, and he devotes himself to learning more about mythology in particular. [name_m]Kier[/name_m] can sometimes not know when to stop talking though, which means he can be a little exhausting if someone’s had a long day and doesn’t realise they’re not in the mood for his questions. He’s very caring though - always wanting to help his family and friends - with the soft heart of his mum, meaning he’s very apologetic if he realises he’s been pestering someone.
Description: [name_m]Kier[/name_m] strongly resembles his mum and big sister [name_u]Addyson[/name_u], albeit his hair’s a deep shade of brown whereas her’s is black and he wears glasses, being very near-sighted. At school he pales in comparison to [name_f]Roisin[/name_f] in most classes, with the exception of [name_f]English[/name_f]: his favourite. He’s often hanging out with his friends - providing the house with some much needed space - and when he is home, can hole himself up in his room for hours, writing down short stories or reading.
