Name: [name_f]Rachelle[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]’ [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] Goring
Age: 45
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/her
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: [name_f]Rachelle[/name_f] is a no-nonsense individual, with a strong will and quiet confidence that’s evident the moment she walks into a room. She’s hardworking and a bit of a perfectionist, which can lead to her working herself up with stress, as she tends to put unnecessary pressure on herself - something she doesn’t want her kids to inherit. [name_f]Rachelle[/name_f]’s family (particularly her wife) are the best at helping her relax though, and once she’s home, she shows a much more easygoing side of her demeanor.
Description: Tall and slender, [name_f]Rachelle[/name_f] has short, pale blonde hair and hazel eyes, with a large birthmark on her left hand. She met her wife at secondary school (being the one to nickname her [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]) and in spite of the odds, they’ve been together ever since. Her childhood was an unhappy one and subsequently, [name_f]Rachelle[/name_f] always tries her hardest to be there for her own three children. A physiotherapist, she’s always fussing over family’s posturing, but this doesn’t stop her from curling up on the sofa too.

Age: 15
Personality: [name_u]Raiden[/name_u] is laidback and fun to hang around. He’s a goofball, and he loves to make people laugh and have a good time, especially his nb-friend, [name_u]Jess[/name_u].

Name: Akela Dante Noa-Goring
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/him
Sexuality: Demisexual
Personality: Akela has a more energetic nature than his twin brother, which makes him very engaging but also a bit hyperactive; sometimes leading to insecurities on his behalf, as he knows he can come on a little strong when meeting new people. He has a passion for nature - especially lizards - and can list facts without even being prompted, having a dedication to the environment and a strong belief in saving the planet - which can drive people a little mad once he’s on a role and giving his third unofficial lecture of the day. The only thing out weighing this is Akela’s love for his family, who he absolutely adores and wishes to protect (meaning he can hide his own problems sometimes).
Basic Description: Akela’s 5’10" and skinny, taking almost entirely after his momma, with the only exception being his eyes which are light green. Recently he acquired a bright turquoise streak in his hair after letting his close friend Tillie test her hair dying skills on him. Since they were little, he and Raiden have shared their own secret code which they use to make each other laugh in a sort of contest, with Aklea having a strong friendship with Jess, being able to see how happy they make his brother. Akela’s very close to his mum, always doing his best to make sure she’s able to chill at home, admiring her strength. He and his little sister are also clamouring to get a bearded dragon.

Age: 6
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/her
Personality: [name_f]Lil[/name_f] is quite the character: inquisitive, daring and indecisive, she’s flitting between questions and daydreams at a pace only she seems to decipher. She’s an incredibly affectionate little girl though, always hugging her mum, momma and brothers’, whom she’s always crafting hand drawn cards for at school when given the chance. This also means she’s confident in wanting to get her own way, especially receiving piggyback rides, and is more than willing to pester until someone gives into her request.
Basic Description: For the most part [name_f]Lil[/name_f] resembles [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], with pale blonde hair - usually peppered with clips - and is tall for her age, although her eyes are the same green as [name_u]Akela[/name_u]’s. She’s more introverted than the twins, being happy in her own company often, although this changes where her best friend - [name_f]Ida[/name_f] - is concerned. [name_f]Lil[/name_f]’s biggest passion is reading, and her favourite genre is fantasy, especially books about fairies, which she loves to draw and talk about.

Personality: [name_m]Link[/name_m]’s an easygoing person who provides a grounding influence on others. They act as a peace keeper between friends often and are great at helping other people relax, always trying to provide sound advice and measured responses to situations.

Sometimes [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] can come across as absent-minded and lost in her own world, being very disorganized, which is exacerbated by the fact she’s the last person to be troubled by this.

Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/him
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: [name_m]Will[/name_m]’s definitely less cool than his wife, being studious and reserved, but this is nothing compared to how much he loves his wife and kids. He’s always there to help with homework or speak to [name_f]Amy[/name_f] about her day, even if all the people in-and-out of the house (namely his children’s friends) causes him to retreat back into his study. Sometimes he can worry excessively and gets stressed easily, although thankfully [name_f]Amy[/name_f]’s a great calming influence on him.
