[name_f]Gratia[/name_f] " [name_f]Tia[/name_f] " [name_f]Kimberly[/name_f] Fernandez-Hoyle (29) is Quin’s sister and listening ear, who jokes often about the similarities between her and Gracia’s full names, as when she was younger, it often seemed like she’d never meet or hear of someone with a similar name, a reality that felt like a back and forth of such in her mind: standing out was amazing sometimes and horrible at others. Now she’s grown up, [name_f]Tia[/name_f] firmly is proud to be someone with a distinct identity, and she’s always proud of her [name_m]Quin[/name_m] for how she’s firmly stuck by her own preferences [but voicing this is a funny thing as [name_f]Tia[/name_f] has a reputation to uphold as a tough nut after all].
[name_f]Tia[/name_f] got married three years ago to her wife and they’re now starting their adoption journey, a major source of excitement, but not without elements of anxiety. Hearing about the maternity madness Quin’s acquainted with is something she’s a bit wary about, as if someone rubs [name_f]Tia[/name_f] the wrong way she doesn’t find it easy to hold back her thoughts on the matter. This notably was the case at her last job when she was part of an indoor climbing facilities management and had to deal with a colleague who pretty much appointed himself as expert of everything, much to her chagrin. They disagreed frequently, and although she loves sports, [name_f]Tia[/name_f] chose to move to pastures new rather than endure the headache over and over.
Now [name_f]Tia[/name_f] manages a leisure centre and is much happier at the calmer environment, which yes, she’s heard a thousand jokes about. The people she’s now working with aren’t invested in proving themselves as unspoken masters of all knowledge and instead just care about getting on with things, which is really what [name_f]Tia[/name_f] wants most in her career. It means she has more time to enjoy seeing her sister and spending time with friends, usually trying to embroil the two, as thanks to their small age gap, [name_f]Tia[/name_f] and [name_m]Quin[/name_m] have a lot of mutuals.
