@wandering_willow You’re right, those characters live in Canada. Me referring to Vlad as Russian - American is incorrect!
Marie Justine Bouvier (32) is the mom of Marnie 's preschool friend as well as someone who jokingly refers to herself as “the French wife of a Canadian cowboy.” Orginally from Quebec, she also works with Vlad , being an UI (user interface) designer emplpoyed by the game developer Halcyon Nights Studios . Because her job of making a visually pleasing but readable and useful interface for gamers is so practical and demanding, she likes the fact that after work she can let go of staring at the screen and go feed the horses with her husband & daughter. She’s one of the “cool coworkers” who always tries to bring the team of Halcyon Nights Studios together - for example this month she convinced the CEO to have a Halloween event complete with delicious candy , carving pumpkins and even Tarot reading. The leader of the Artist Team thinks she’s a little bit too laid back and should focus on deadlines but she’s generally liked and tries to have the best work ethic possible by still prioritizing her husband and daughter.
Being a family friend of Vlad and Olga is something she really appreciates and loves when Taras & Marnie refer to her as “auntie”, she even babysat them a few times when Vlad & Olga went out together on date nights. To honor Taras’ fascination with ostriches she made the cursor in the studios’ new zoo managment game project. She likes the fact that mytical animals like unicorns or dragons will be included in the project , feeling like this will set Halcyon Nights Studios’ game apart from competitors and prove as a success for them.
