Create a Family with a Twist 1

[chamwue]

[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] Meixin " [name_u]Jules[/name_u] " [name_m]Wong[/name_m] (22) is a brand ambassador for the vegan makeup brand Oh works for and is an up-and-coming actress. [name_u]Jules[/name_u] has always wanted to become a famous actress but was resigned to her fate of only doing supporting roles due to the lack of [name_f]Asian[/name_f] representation on western television. However, [name_u]Jules[/name_u] starred as the lead in an indie film called A Hundred Unsent Letters, which won a film award and sent [name_u]Jules[/name_u] into a spotlight. Recently, she’s been casted as a lead in a Netflix show alongside [name_f]Bea[/name_f] Wakefield, who seems very nice.

Her parents are both Chinese immigrants but adore what their daughter is doing: both wanted to go in creative fields but couldn’t due to financial constraints, and thus encouraged their daughter to pursue whatever she wanted. Though, they did warn [name_u]Jules[/name_u] that being an actress was not going to be easy— something they now jokingly pretend never happened. When the film she starred in won the award, [name_u]Jules[/name_u] had to physically stop her parents from gleefully talking about their talented daughter. She’s incredibly proud of her own success, though, and uses her platform to tell other AAPI creatives that yes, their talents can and will be represented. [name_u]Jules[/name_u] has already received messages that she’s inspired a lot of people, and she swears she wants to do this forever.

Other than the Netflix show, [name_u]Jules[/name_u] is starring in another indie film titled The Mansion on [name_u]Montgomery[/name_u] [name_m]Hill[/name_m], a dramatic period piece. She’s falling for her co-star and she swears he’s falling for her too, but [name_u]Jules[/name_u] knows he has a girlfriend…

[name_f]Adelina[/name_f] “ [name_f]Ada[/name_f] “ [name_f]Liu[/name_f] [name_m]Wong[/name_m] (3) is Jules’s little sister. Being the younger sister of a famous actress has gotten some requests from their family to have [name_f]Ada[/name_f] be a child star. [name_u]Jules[/name_u] had warmed their parents this could happen if they kept bragging about her career but despite the family’s desire for [name_f]Ada[/name_f] to have success, they know she is only three and doesn’t want to be exposed to fame that early and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] herself doesn’t want it right now either. Instead, [name_f]Ada[/name_f] likes playing with the other children at her daycare. [name_f]Ada[/name_f] does want to watch her sister’s show even though it’s not a show meant for children her age. While she isn’t quite allowed to watch it, it’s impossible to hide it from her and she has seen it but it’s not been too much of an impact on her as she doesn’t understand the show. Her parents laugh this off and get her back into watching kid shows, but both of them know when Ada’s old enough that [name_f]Ada[/name_f] will be proud and impressed about her older sister. [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and [name_u]Jules[/name_u] still have a good connection and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] loves it when [name_u]Jules[/name_u] talks with her about jungle animals and colours, her two fave topics, and is always excited to know how [name_u]Jules[/name_u] is. She briefly knows Jules’s male co-star but [name_u]Jules[/name_u] hasn’t told her anything — [name_f]Ada[/name_f] cannot keep a secret.

Elizabeth Bimini “ Elsie “ Greenway (22) is Ada Wong’s babysitter and a coworker of Jules- though not a star in the show, she’s a background character who makes a few brief appearances, which Elsie is fine with- it’s her first acting gig after all, outside of school plays. Elsie has always had a passion for acting but when she decided to audition with Jules, she was very shocked that she got in! Her parents were very supportive and excited for Elsie. Elsie’s family consists of a a big sister a year older than her, another big sister 2 year older than her, and a big brother who’s 4 years older than her. Her family moved from Freeport, Bahamas when she was around 11 or 12 to Miami, Florida- she tried not to speak as she thought she was an outcast and didn’t want to be so heavily bullied like her brother, who actually moved back to Freeport because he was so annoyed and done with Miami. Their parents made all their middle names Bahamian islands as a subtle nod to their culture, and Elsie thinks that’s really cute.

Elsie was kind of a goth and an outcast in high school- she’d straighten her hair, dye it raven black and wear it over one eye. A part of her daily makeup routine was smearing globs of black eyeliner onto her poor eyelids. Kids made fun of her, referring to her as an emo- Elsie would protest and tell them all that she’s not an emo, she’s a goth, and go over it again and again. She was also a part of the theater club and she found a passion for it. All the other kids were wowed by her acting skills- the geeky emo who claimed she was a goth was actually a great actress? Elsie’s own family wasn’t surprised at all. They knew from the start how wonderful at acting she is, and anything else she puts her mind to.

Elsie went to university in Miami and formed a nice little friend group, who she’s still in contact with. As soon as Elsie got out of college with flying colors (she majored in drama), she decided it was time to make a name for herself and applied to an audition. When she got a minor role she had to move out of Florida- her family was sad, but she makes a point to visit her parents and sister once a month and her brother once every six months- international flights have never been cheap. Elsie has encouraged her family to watch the show and they all comment on how Jules’ character and her partner’s character are such good actors and it seems like they have real chemistry. As Jules’ friend, Elsie just nods and keeps her mouth shut…it would ruin the magic if she told them that Jules and the other actor aren’t really acting…Elsie and Jules bonded while off camera and she keeps encouraging Jules to go for it! However, she hasn’t fully convinced her friend yet…

[name_f]Natasia[/name_f] “ [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] “ [name_f]Yelizaveta[/name_f] Severinova (22) is a former college roommate of [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], although she hasn’t been as close as she used to be. [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] is a script writer and co-wrote A Hundred Unsent Letters. She is the older sister of [name_f]Alisa[/name_f] and current girlfriend of the guy [name_u]Jules[/name_u] is falling for. Truthfully their relationship is on the rocks and the two aren’t feeling as much of a connection anymore. [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] thinks he could be falling for someone else and has tried to get him back into liking her but even she thinks it’s time to let go. [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] is a good person but constantly tries to hold onto crumbling relationships simply out of fear of losing them. [name_f]Alisa[/name_f] herself has told [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] that doing so is worse off for her in the end and will only make her more heartbroken but it has be Tacy’s nature for a long time.

Deep down [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] and her boyfriend don’t talk to each other much and don’t go out anymore but still call each other boyfriend and girlfriend and haven’t taken down their couple photos on social media. [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] is close with her Russian culture but not as much as her sister and hasn’t gone back to [name_f]Russia[/name_f] in a while because she believes her boyfriend would break up with her if she left the country. Still, she encourages [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] to go visit her family when she has the time and money. She’s seen the show [name_u]Jules[/name_u] is in and knows the guy’s character is falling for Jules’s character but has simply convinced herself every time that they’re just acting. [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] is starting to think he is falling for [name_u]Jules[/name_u] and admits she wouldn’t be mad if he left her for [name_u]Jules[/name_u], just disappointed. There isn’t much drama between her and [name_u]Jules[/name_u] and that’s how she likes it. [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] has been wanting he and [name_u]Jules[/name_u] to make a move, not knowing [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] is still with him. [name_u]Jules[/name_u] however knows [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] is still with him and knows this is the main reason why she’s shy of telling him how she feels despite their attraction being mutual.

However, something very messed up recently happened with [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] was e-mailed last month and asked for a major role in a new movie — which would have been her big break. However after no response by [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], they didn’t contact her, assuming she didn’t want the role and got someone else to take it. [name_u]Truth[/name_u] is, [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] never read the e-mail because someone had hacked into her device and deleted the e-mail before she could read and accept. [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] had no idea she was hacked until one day when she had to have her computer fixed. [name_u]Jules[/name_u] has been trying to figure out who did it and is starting to believe [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] may have found out about [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] wanting Tacy’s boyfriend to date [name_u]Jules[/name_u] and hacked her in revenge. However there is no confirmation on this and it is possible [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] didn’t know this about [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. Besides, [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] isn’t the only suspect of the hacking; one of Elsie’s friends, one of the former bullies who said [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] was “emo”, and one of the former movie directors are also suspects of this mystery.

[wandering_willow]

Na-young “ [name_f]Lily[/name_f] “ Jang (21) is a friend of [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and [name_f]Tacy[/name_f]. She’s also the suspect of the hacking incident, though she completely denies any involvement- anyone who knows [name_f]Lily[/name_f] would know she’s a total sweetheart who would never sabotage her friend. Like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and [name_u]Jules[/name_u], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is an actress- but she’s not as involved in the production of the Netflix show and is only friends with some of the actors, including Jules’ costar and love interest. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] has appeared in shows, but never Netflix ones- she’s always dreamed of premiering on a show for Netflix though. The only reason Lily’s a suspect is because she was asked to be on the show that [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] was sent the email for, and she gladly accepted the minor role. For [name_f]Lily[/name_f], acting has never been about money. It’s always been her passion, very similarly to [name_f]Elsie[/name_f].

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] attended the same university as [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], and the two bonded instantly forming a sisterly relationship. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] only has two big brothers- they’re twins, identical ones, and anyone who hurts [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is in for the most confusing beating of their life….they’re very overprotective of her. Lily’s mom is from the UK, and her father’s from Seoul, and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] lived in the UK up until she was eight, and the headed to the US- her dad had a flexible job as a salesman but hated all the homesickness and decided to quit and settle in the States. It was taking a toll on the whole family. Like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] was a shameless theater kid, but she tried to cover it up- [name_f]Lily[/name_f] takes all insults VERY seriously, and will let any tiny thing get to her. Her friends refer to her as the “ [name_u]Golden[/name_u] Retriever “ of the friend group, and she appreciates that- she’s actually the mother to a [name_u]Golden[/name_u] Retriever, so she finds that ironic. She loves her little puppy and often knits him little sweaters. She was accused of hacking into her friend’s email but completely denied it- however she thinks the bully who called [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] emo could be responsible as they haven’t changed a bit since middle school.

[name_m]Jun[/name_m] Jang (43) is Lily’s uncle and director of many movies, previously working with Netflix. He is [name_u]South[/name_u] Korean-based and did movies for his homeland before moving. He is no longer working as a director due to deciding to move back to [name_u]South[/name_u] Korea. He and the director of the show [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] was e-mailed toward had many creative differences but eventually ended up feuding and [name_m]Jun[/name_m] left the company. Rumours say he would have been fired but chose to leave on his own terms but [name_m]Jun[/name_m] denies these. He’s a suspect in Elsie’s hacking incident because they believe [name_m]Jun[/name_m] didn’t want any actors or actresses with serious potential to work with his rival. [name_m]Jun[/name_m] is trying to make it as peaceful as possible — he just didn’t want to work for someone he didn’t like and he liked being in [name_u]South[/name_u] Korea better anyway. But the mysteries still live on.

Despite the rocky ending of his American directing career, [name_m]Jun[/name_m] still supports [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. He misses his brother after he chose to live in the States but doesn’t blame him as he would have done the same had different circumstances occurred. He’s also in support of Lily’s mother and older twin brothers and likes how smart and loving their family is. He knows [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] briefly from [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and doesn’t quite understand why he’s a suspect but reluctantly listens to the accusations but still thinks he’s the weakest link to [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] of the four, although he trusts [name_f]Lily[/name_f] isn’t the one who did it either. He knows [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] was bullied and has used acting to show her bullies that she is enough and she is capable of being who she wants to be and wouldn’t be surprised if her bully did it — they already have a prior negative connection.

[wandering_willow]

Seo-jun “ [name_u]Max[/name_u] “ Jang [left] and Ha-joon “ [name_m]Howie[/name_m] “ Jang [right] (24) are Lily’s brothers. [name_m]Howie[/name_m] is an actor, but similar to his sister he’s never worked in a Netflix show, and [name_u]Max[/name_u] is an accountant- both support their sister’s dream and encourage [name_f]Lily[/name_f] to keep going, as do their parents- and they know [name_f]Lily[/name_f] would never sabotage her friend- [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] was like the sister [name_f]Lily[/name_f] never had, and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] was the one who taught [name_f]Lily[/name_f] to do makeup, too. [name_u]Max[/name_u] firmly believes that the bully from Elsie’s childhood is responsible for the hacking incident, but [name_m]Howie[/name_m] isn’t so sure, because he’s dating her. The bully is a homophobe and a racist, and an overall bad person, but Howie’s head over heels in love with her- she had a teen pregnancy at 15 and [name_m]Howie[/name_m] is determined to support his girlfriend no matter how mean she was in her past, as Howie’s a firm believer in second chances- [name_u]Max[/name_u] is known as the smart one and [name_m]Howie[/name_m] can be a bit airheaded at times, but the two love each other and try to help each other whenever they can.

[name_u]Max[/name_u] is also dating someone close to [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]- her older sister! [name_u]Max[/name_u] came out as bi around 6th grade, and [name_m]Howie[/name_m] (who’s a straight ally) was the first to know about it. [name_m]Howie[/name_m] loves Max’s girlfriend and thinks she’s super nice and funny, and he’s glad his brother is happy with her. The two are also acquainted with [name_u]Jules[/name_u], and they admire how she’s used her platform to lift up other AAPI creators. They’ve been briefly told about [name_u]Jules[/name_u] and her chemistry with her costar, and they both want to see them date in real life- [name_m]Howie[/name_m] often makes comments on how he ships them, and he and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] have come up with ship names. [name_u]Max[/name_u] has always been the more practical sibling, and [name_m]Howie[/name_m] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] have always been the crackhead duo who do crazy things- they often joke that [name_m]Howie[/name_m] gets them all into trouble, and Max’s fast thinking is what gets them out of trouble…

[CherryBomb50]

Huge warning: Unlikable character, my most unlikable character ever. She is a bigot and the bully of [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. I’ve done bullies and villains before but never bigots and genuinely do not want to write a bigot and just doing it for the sake of completing the suspect portion of the mystery.

[name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] [name_f]Zeena[/name_f] [name_f]Vanity[/name_f] (24) is Howie’s girlfriend and disliked by [name_u]Max[/name_u]. Growing up, she was raised in an environment of bigots, getting her views. However she has had multiple instances where she could have changed, but was too set on her opinions to do so. A lot of her bigoted views came from how easy it was to just stereotype people which is why she stereotyped [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] as an emo despite her truly being a goth. She held lots of prejudice and wouldn’t listen to other sides. While she did have a teenage pregnancy, she put her child up for adoption because she couldn’t raise a child as a teenager — and shouldn’t raise a child ever. She’s not in contact with her child, who is now 9, and luckily; the adoptive parents are a safe, loving, and accepting duo. By the words of [name_u]Max[/name_u], “Marilyn can’t keep bringing the vicious cycle of bigotry around just because her family and ancestors did. The cycle needs to break. If [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] can’t do it for herself, she should at least do it for her child and if she won’t do it even then, then it’s best she’s not in her child’s life.”

[name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] has always been a bully to [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] alongside other students, but [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] never stops. Elsie’s older sister stopped her in high school and in spite, [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] stopped only to continue during adult life. [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] herself has tried to get famous and instead of acting, she competed on reality shows. She wanted to act but truly had no acting talent. She and [name_m]Howie[/name_m] relate since they’ve never been on Netflix shows however [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] isn’t an actress and [name_m]Howie[/name_m] always reminds her (usually playfully) that she isn’t. However her fame turned to infamy when her bigoted social media posts came to light and once they saw she was always like this, she was canceled. Nobody wanted to associate with her. People who knew her were coming forward and saying she was every bad thing the media said she was. Anyone who was her friend unfriended her. She was banned from social media. [name_u]Max[/name_u] tried to warn [name_m]Howie[/name_m] not to date a canceled starlet but [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] convinced him not to and still dated him, although more secretly.

What [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] doesn’t know is that she could end up falling even further reputation-wise. [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_u]Jules[/name_u], and Elsie’s sister have formed a pact to find out who hacked [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] that day and are near-certain it was [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]. To them, [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] clearly couldn’t take her rival about to have her big break while she was canceled even though she deserved it. [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] is believed to be the most likely guilty party and some even rumour she framed the others! But [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] isn’t about to let everyone say she did it and has an alibi: She was with her family on the day of the hacking. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean she’s innocent; she never stated what time in the day she was with them and likely they’ll back her up. She knows [name_m]Jun[/name_m] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] are family and will back each other up too and will mention this to anyone who doesn’t believe her alibi. She and [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] hardly know each other but she’s threatened to break [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] and her boyfriend up if [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] uses any suspicion against her. [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] knows [name_f]Tacy[/name_f], [name_m]Jun[/name_m], and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] have “no right to suspect” her as “they are suspects too” and “could be equally guilty”. [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] is firmly in belief of “innocent until proven guilty” even if she is a little too lowkey obsessed with finding ways it could be [name_f]Tacy[/name_f], [name_m]Jun[/name_m], or [name_f]Lily[/name_f], despite the fact that even if it was proven to be one of them and not her, she’d still stay canceled for her bigotry anyway. [name_u]Max[/name_u] and Elsie’s sister have grown closer from this investigation and are determined to get answers, but still have some down time to enjoy themselves as a couple. [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] isn’t sure about them dating and doesn’t like Elsie’s sister but [name_m]Howie[/name_m] is head-over-heels in support of them and will one day stand up to [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f].

[wandering_willow]

[name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_u]Reid[/name_u] [name_u]Bennett[/name_u] (24) is Tacy’s girlfriend, who’s costarring with [name_u]Jules[/name_u] in The Mansion on [name_u]Montgomery[/name_u] [name_m]Hill[/name_m], and Marilyn’s cousin. Not many people know about this, and he’s actually really ashamed of her and her behaviors and has tried to dissociate with her for a long time- but she always guilt-trips him into offering her help or letting her stay at his house for a few nights, making him feel bad about being “the successful one.” [name_m]Silas[/name_m] has met [name_m]Howie[/name_m] and [name_u]Max[/name_u] and he likes them both, and he’s even advised [name_m]Howie[/name_m] to get out of the toxic relationship with [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] for his own mental health, but [name_m]Howie[/name_m] politely refuses his advice- [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] yells at [name_m]Silas[/name_m] and tells him that she’ll tell her mom- a technique she’s been using since the age of two. Nothing can be put past [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]- she kicks, screams, wails, and roars whenever something doesn’t go her way. [name_m]Silas[/name_m] denies hating her, but he claims he hates her behavior. He wishes [name_m]Howie[/name_m] would date someone who’s as nice as him, instead of settling for [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f].

[name_m]Silas[/name_m] and [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] were born in the same year- his father and Marilyn’s mother are siblings, who would always fight and still do to this day. Marilyn’s mother put her on a pedestal, saying how perfect her daughter was and would often spend money on her, to get her whatever she wants. When [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] gave birth to her kid, though, her mother decided to stop trying. [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] was raised in a very conservative household, and they all publicly shamed their own daughter for having a child and cut her out of their lives- now [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] lives off of [name_m]Silas[/name_m] and Howie’s charity. [name_m]Silas[/name_m] often jokes that while [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] never was an actor, she should’ve been- after all, [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] is a compulsive liar, who would often bend the truth to get her way. If that didn’t work, though, she’d have a full on melt down. [name_m]Silas[/name_m] grew up feeling ashamed that he was related to her.

[name_m]Silas[/name_m] got into acting very early- he took theater classes downtown and displayed a profound talent. His first ever role? [name_u]An[/name_u] Oompa Loompa! He later made his way up to indie films, where he met [name_u]Jules[/name_u]- who he thinks he might be in love with. [name_m]Silas[/name_m] loves [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] too, so he’s really torn. Contrary to what [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] believes, [name_m]Silas[/name_m] wouldn’t break up with her if she went to [name_f]Russia[/name_f]. He knows the relationship is coming to an end but he doesn’t want to hurt [name_f]Tacy[/name_f] or [name_u]Jules[/name_u], so for now he’s just staying friends with [name_u]Jules[/name_u]- and even if they did get into a relationship the press would be hounding them- despite how much he loves acting, [name_m]Silas[/name_m] hates the paparazzi following him around and tracking his every move. He wishes they’d just leave him alone for a bit so he can hang out with his friends in peace like a normal person!

[name_m]Silas[/name_m] has thoroughly apologized to [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], but she’s turned his apology down- [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] believes that [name_m]Silas[/name_m] shouldn’t have to apologize for his cousin’s behaviors. He’s also talked to [name_u]Max[/name_u] about getting [name_m]Howie[/name_m] away from [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]- [name_m]Silas[/name_m] doesn’t see it as sabotaging his cousin’s relationship, he sees it as protecting [name_m]Howie[/name_m], as he’s visibly drained from constantly taking care of [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]. Elsie’s sister, who’s also Max’s girlfriend, agree with the two of them and think [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] should try to work on herself before dating someone…Elsie will often joke that [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] has more of a love life than her, as [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] hasn’t even had her first kiss yet. Her sister and brother assure her that she’ll find someone, as does [name_m]Silas[/name_m]- actually, there might be someone on the cast of The Mansion at [name_u]Montgomery[/name_u] hill that might have their eye on [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] right now, and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] is determined to help set the two up…

Jahan " Hans " Ganesh Lakhani (23) is Silas’s friend. He’s the third child of his family and 1 year younger than his sister Oh. Before Marilyn dated Howie, she had a crush on Hans when they were teens, but Hans didn’t return her feelings. Marilyn ended up pregnant a month later and Hans can’t be happier not to be the father. She pretty much hates him now and he doesn’t like her either. He’s so glad he’s not in a relationship with her and pities Howie that he got “stuck with her”. He’s still best friends with Silas and doesn’t care if Marilyn hates him for that. He’s avoided the conversation of the hacking mystery because he feels he will be too biased…and that will hurt his budding relationship with Elsie. He focuses a lot on his acting role in The Mansion at Montgomery Hill and for a long time he’s fallen for Elsie. He isn’t sure how to ask her out but thanks Silas immensely for helping him and not telling Elsie how he feels, as this would embarrass him. Hans’s siblings know he’s falling for her and Elsie’s sister kinda knows too.

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] Eleuthera “ [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] “ Greenway (24) is Elsie’s big sister, who’s aware of the current situation between her and [name_m]Hans[/name_m]. She’s hoping that [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] can stop being so oblivious and finally realize that [name_m]Hans[/name_m] likes her, but she hasn’t told her as she doesn’t want to push anything. [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] likes acting, but she’s not like [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_u]Jules[/name_u] and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. She’s only ever done acting classes, and then she quite because she quickly realized that acting was never her passion. She lives in [name_f]Miami[/name_f], and she loves the beach view from her house- she lives in a small bungalow that’s around three blocks away from a beach, but she works downtown in the city as a nail artist- she designs fake nails and gets a pretty high pay for it, and she’s also a receptionist on the side for a large corporation. She’s married now, to a man who really loves and appreciates her. The two enjoy beach walks together with their two kids, both toddlers.

Despite being married with kids, [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] has still never settled down- she doesn’t drink or smoke but she still parties and considers herself wild and free. She kept her last name, and her kids names are hyphenated with hers and her husband’s. [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] really misses her brother, and travels to Freeport very often so she can see him. He’s two years older than [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] and he’s also married. When [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] can’t see him, she does video calls and chats with him so he can see her children, and she can see his daughter, who’s a little girl in kindergarten. She adores her little siblings and tells them “she’ll show them the ropes when they get her age,” which all three siblings think is adorable. Sadie’s husband works as a mechanic- he never went to college, but a mechanic pays surprisingly well when you’re as good at it as him. The two live a happy life and love watching [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] succeed- they know she’s gonna make it big one day.

Tobias Riley Sanderson (23) is Sadie’s brother-in-law, being the younger sibling of her husband, and a loving uncle to their children. While he can seem a little standoffish and socially disinterested at first glance, Tobias is a very loyal, caring and considerate person once you get to know him better; although he did worry for a while he seemed rude to Sadie on account of never quite knowing how to talk to her. Tobias tends to be drawn to others with somewhat introverted natures, which is how he bonded with his girlfriend Margot, when they were swimming at the same open venue.

Currently pursuing his bachelors in geography, Tobias is an avid reader who collects rare and unusual books as gifts for his loved one’s - reserving anything play centric for Margot due to her stage career, and pictured based books for his brother and Sadie’s children. Growing up, he idolised his older sibling frequently on account of his confidence, but they weren’t always close as Tobias seemed happiest doing his own thing - usually going for long walks outdoors or taking photographs of wildlife; only having time for parties attended by his close friend group (which is starting to blend with Margot’s circle).

In spite of this his family means the world to him and he’ll always help out when called upon, accompanied by his pet springer spaniel - Dotty - who he got from a rescue shelter as a puppy. Tobias lives a 10-minute walk away from Sadie and his brother so he’s the first call for emergency babysitter, especially as the kids love Dotty who’s the friendliest dog imaginable. He has some awareness of Marilyn but thankfully has avoided her this far…

I JUST REALISED Elsie’s profile only [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] he’s had one sister- AND SADIE IS MARRIED SO SHES NOT DATING MAX AT ALL LOL. Changed it to two, sorry for confusion all my fault

[CherryBomb50]

Harland “ Harley “ Bryant [left] and Kassidy “ Kasey “ Maxine [right] Greenway-Sanderson (3) are Sadie’s twins and the kids Tobias babysits. They love Dotty and get so excited to see her there. Harley and Kasey both are known to look very alike despite being opposite genders and both have unisex names and nicknames, despite being more commonly used on their gender. They’re expected to look much more different as they age but right now they love looking alike and don’t care if they’re not the same gender. Everyone likes this about them and loves how these two don’t care about who’s male and who’s female — something the older generations still don’t get. And if they turn out to not be the gender they’re born as? A-Ok. They’re also best buddies with Margot when she’s around and act like she and Tobias are “the cutest couple” and are super sweet to them. They also like Margot’s friends and wish to see them more. They’ve gotten along quite well with Elsie and the older brother of Elsie and Sadie, and enjoy family time most of all.

[wandering_willow]

[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] Mayaguana “ [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] “ Greenway (23) is [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and Sadie’s sister, and the girlfriend of [name_u]Max[/name_u] Jang. (Huge mistake made recently. I am so sorry, I made [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] married lol) The two are madly in love. [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] is also the aunt of [name_u]Harley[/name_u] and [name_u]Kasey[/name_u], and she adores both of them often spoiling them with cute little gifts. Like [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] lives in [name_f]Miami[/name_f] but she finds a way to make her relationship with [name_u]Max[/name_u] work, as he really matters to her. The two often do video chats and talk for hours about their shared interests. [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] also chats with her brother and his daughter very often, visiting the Bahamas just to see them. It’s costly and often the flights aren’t great but it’s all worth it to [name_f]Emmie[/name_f]. Like [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] likes acting but she wasn’t the geeky theater kid like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]- instead she watched from the sidelines and cheered on her sister, who was a natural born star.

Unlike [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] was quite popular in school, being the cool “ [name_u]Island[/name_u] [name_f]Girl[/name_f]. “ [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] tried to befriend her and recruit her into her clique, but [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] refused because morality is more important to her than superficial cliquey people. [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] really admire that about her. Of course, [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] threw a tantrum and whenever she saw [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] she’d forcibly link arms with her and act like the two were besties, all while consistently bullying her little sister and then brushing it off saying it was a joke, and that “ she was asking for it “ by dressing in a goth style. Eventually, though, [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] just stopped trying and went back to being a terrible person without bothering [name_f]Emmie[/name_f]. Like [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] and the oldest Greenway sibling, [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] believes that [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] was responsible for the hacking incident- but she’s really confused. A lot of things don’t make sense- for instance, [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] isn’t a very smart human being, so why is she able to hack? [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] theorizes that maybe she hired someone.

[name_f]Emmie[/name_f] is good friends with Sadie’s wonderful husband, and her brother’s partner- she thinks both are great people and she’s so happy that both of her siblings have kings and queens worthy of their awesomeness. However she wishes [name_m]Hans[/name_m] would just make a move already, because even if she’s states away she isn’t blind and can see chemistry when it’s there. But [name_m]Hans[/name_m] is nervous and she doesn’t want to push anything, especially because [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] is oblivious and might say something she doesn’t mean in the heat of the moment- so for now [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] just ship the two from the sidelines. [name_f]Emmie[/name_f] fondly remembers when [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] had just met her husband- [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] actually met her husband through [name_f]Emmie[/name_f], who introduced the two. She didn’t introduce her brother and his partner, but he thinks they’re a wonderful pairing and she loves their little daughter, referring to her as “ her princess. “

[name_m]Jeth[/name_m] [name_m]Tucker[/name_m] [name_m]Sanderson[/name_m] (24) is Emmie’s brother-in-law, Sadie’s husband, and Tobias’s brother. He too hopes that [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and [name_m]Hans[/name_m] manage to make it work but knows about the shyness. He even felt that when he was first falling for [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]. He knows it’s worth it now and hopes [name_m]Hans[/name_m] and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] know this, even if [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] is thinking several steps ahead! In truth, he’s not saying [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and [name_m]Hans[/name_m] should immediately marry but should definitely give each other a chance and go on a date.

[name_m]Jeth[/name_m] isn’t famous now but he was when he was a child. He was one of the kids on a show called FunkyKidZ which is about 5 kids who each have different coloured shirts who always do fun stuff like go to the waterpark or go bowling and always look like they’re having a blast every episode. The interesting thing about the kids’ shirts was that none of the colours were in the rainbow. Apparently there was a group of 5 kids back in 1999 when the show started, the producers told the kids to pick colours and they’ll order shirts in those colours, but multiple kids can’t have the same colour and it has to be a colour they really love because they’re always going to wear clothes in that colour. The producers assumed they’d pick simple colours in an 8-pack of crayons, but not one kid chose a rainbow colour. The producers liked it though and enjoyed the kids’ creativity, so even after those kids aged out and got replaced with new kids, the new kids also kept the tradition of choosing non-rainbow colours. Jeth‘s shirt was cyan and even today, it’s still his favourite colour. [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] is actually a third-generation cast member and there were two series of the show with a different set of 5 kids. The show ended after 3 series so [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] was in the last group before its cancelation but the show has since been revived and there’s a new group of 5 kids. [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] is happy for this because it reminds him of childhood. He knows there’s a few finicky parents who dislike the show because don’t see how this show has any “educational value” but [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] always will support it because truthfully, it celebrates kids just being kids.

[name_m]Jeth[/name_m] has since reconnected with the people who were on the show to see what they’ve been up to lately. He’s friends with quite a few former kids, especially the ones in the cast he was in. One has since became a computer consultant and would definitely be able to tell who was the one who hacked [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]. He doesn’t consider himself “famous” from the show however and is down-to-earth like his brother [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]. [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] looked up to [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] since he was on TV but [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] never let it go to his head. [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] supports [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] together and finds them both really happy to see each other, which he adores. [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] is currently a magazine photographer and enjoys beach volleyball in his spare time. [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] is also dedicating his time with his wife and kids, which he is so proud of. [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] is such a sweet person to him and he adores how she stays in touch with her brother and his partner and children. He also admired her Bahamian culture and how she keeps it in her life. He loves how his twins are always happy and so close with one another and he finds it inspiring, knowing sometimes it’s the kids that can empower the adults.

[I_meme_it]

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Iona[/name_f] McGrath (23) is one of Jeth’s former co-stars on FunkyKidZ, who subsequently chose to continue artistic pursuits, albeit they’re now working as a concept artist for video games and tabletop RPGs, which compliments their own fanatical playing of D&D quite nicely. Both on-and-off screen, [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] was always the most reserved of the cast members - being a naturally shy person who still prefers sticking with the friends they know - but when [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] got back in contact, they were delighted to reconnect and reminisce about the past.

It wasn’t a surprise for them learning [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] was married, given how naturally warm and engaging his personality is, but [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] has jokingly made him promise he won’t try setting them up on any dates. Right now, a relationship isn’t something [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] has any interest in pursuing as their careers hectic and they’re just enjoying spending time with their friends, going out frequently on impromptu trips and mini-adventures. They live with their best friend, another former FunkyKidZ actor who [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] became incredibly close with during the time of filming, and two dogs: [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] the elderly Cocker Spaniel, who’s been Maeve’s pet since they were 13; the other is their roommate’s, a much younger and more excitable pup.

There have been rumours in the grape vine about some sort of reunion project being proposed and while [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] isn’t totally against the idea, they only want to do it if all 4 of their fellows are up for appearing together again (and that’s not taking into account Maeve’s much more camera shy now). Aside from their artistry and spending time relaxing with [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] by their side, caving is something they’ve become increasingly interested in, having been introduced to it by their older brother and his boyfriend. For [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], it’s important finding beauty in the most unusual of places, and they’ve invited [name_m]Jeth[/name_m] and [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] to accompany them and their usual group if the couple are interested.

[CherryBomb50]

Euna Jang (23) is a fellow FunkyKidZ co-star with Maeve and Jeth, rocking magenta as her colour on the show. Euna is a voice actress for an animated series. She’s the daughter of Jun Jang but they’re not as close as they used to be due to her father constantly being in South Korea for movies, moving back to America, then moving away to permanently live in South Korea. She wishes she had more time to spend with her father but understood that he’s been very busy with his life. She can’t help but be closer to her mother, who is not currently together with her father anymore as they split long ago. She’s trying not to think of Jun as the hacker in the mystery but her knowledge isn’t any better than anyone else’s. But why would he specifically target Elsie? He still is the weakest link.

She lives with Maeve as roommates and close friends and she too would be willing to be in a FunkyKidZ reunion as well. Deep down, she’s falling for one of her former co-stars but she never told him out of her own nervousness. And he was falling for her too at the time. Unfortunately for Euna, that ship has sailed since he’s long fallen out of love with her and he’s announced online he has a new girlfriend. Euna is miffed that if they were to reunite, she’d have to see the one that got away, even if he didn’t realise he was. But there’s a silver lining: he still wants to be best friends with her and he has a brother who is more her type and is falling for her.

cw: parental conflict

[name_f]Nieves[/name_f] " [name_f]Eve[/name_f] " [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] Navarrete (22) is the girlfriend of Euna’s former love interest, and very much oblivious to what happened - arguably for the best as she’d hate to imagine being at the centre of any discord. This stems mostly from childhood, as Eve’s parents had an incredibly combative relationship - dominated by arguments over the phone - in spite of having divorced when she was 3 and her younger brother, who uses they/he pronouns [having announced this about a year ago after confiding in [name_f]Eve[/name_f] about questioning their gender identity], was only six months old. While the young girl had hoped being apart would allow for their resentment to cool, it did little to help how years of financial stress and arguments regarding parenting styles had embittered them drastically. She knows her mother especially has a lot of guilt over this now, having removed herself from concentrating so much energy into fighting with her ex, and [name_f]Eve[/name_f] remains complex in how she feels; appreciating the efforts she’s gone to make amends, but still struggling with all the discord she witnessed, as well as how it often fell to her to protect her brother from being too exposed to the adult conversations loudly going on no matter whose house they were staying at.

Having been an enthusiastic amateur face painter throughout childhood - her brother proudly wearing most of the creations she invented - [name_f]Eve[/name_f] now works as a make up artist in the avant-garde side of fashion and commercials; specialising in bold, unusual visuals. She’s also done some work in film, specifically set design and custom murals, which is how she met her boyfriend, who continued on as an actor following a brief retirement to complete school and figure out if it was really for him. Given how much she took to him, it concerned [name_f]Eve[/name_f] knowing her own hangups and baggage, as several of her prior relationships ended when she opened up about her childhood - with the typical reaction being that the person in question couldn’t handle her past. [name_f]Eve[/name_f] can’t stand being dishonest- after a childhood spent covering for her parents, as she was terrified at any thought of going into care and losing her brother - but when she told him she was greatly relieved and endeared by how he was honest about the shock yet didn’t end things, instead learning more about her and listening opposed to dismissing her.

[name_f]Eve[/name_f] tends to be quite a solitary person outside of her work, having a close friend group but its small thanks to how she’s naturally shy and prefers her own company. She and her brother are both talented cooks who frequently spend time together sharing recipes and trying to one up each other - they’re better with pastry, while [name_f]Eve[/name_f] knows how to handle spices - and they’ve even hosted amateur contests to amuse themselves. The two still live together, [name_f]Eve[/name_f] wanting to support them while they’re attending college [having gotten in on a scholarship], although they’re always conscientious about the fact their sister enjoys space to listen to podcasts or write poems; contrasting with the fact they’re quite a social butterfly - not that [name_f]Eve[/name_f] takes any issue. She and her boyfriend have opted for taking things slowly instead of rushing, but he stays over frequently - especially when between sets - and to her own surprise, [name_f]Eve[/name_f] doesn’t feel stifled by this, which she had worried about due to not having many serious relationships. Having been invited to accompany him to the reunion intimidates [name_f]Eve[/name_f] a bit, but she wants to support him more than anything, even if it means his brother accompanying them so she has someone to talk to if feeling especially anxious.
