Create a Family With a Twist 5/1

This is literally my most favorite game on here, so I decided to keep it alive! I will post a picture (or, rather, a link–my computer isn’t as fancy as I imagine most of yours are ) and give a full name and age for my fictional person. I will then write a paragraph, give or take, about the person. The next poster will create a person that is related to the previous one in some way (it does not have to be by blood–it could be a neighbor, friend, coworker, anything). Ready?

[name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Katrina[/name_f] [name_m]Ramirez[/name_m] (20) is an actress, dancer, and choreographer who lives in Los [name_u]Angeles[/name_u]. She is also a mommy to a 2 year old daughter.

[name_f]Nyssa[/name_f] [name_f]Marisol[/name_f] [name_m]Ramirez[/name_m] (20) is Liana’s identical twin sister, who’s fourteen minutes younger. A model and photographer, Nyssa’s involved heavily in the fashion world, traveling constantly to attend various shows and shoots. Fun-loving and expressive, Nyssa’s happiest socialising and meeting new people, being well adapted to the environment she works in, having built up a good reputation - bar one thing, the fact she can be quite disorganised, however she’s been working on this considerably since moving into her own apartment.

Cycling, yoga and tennis are how [name_f]Nyssa[/name_f] stays in shape, having belonged to her school’s team growing up, although admittedly she was never very competitive. She also loves cooking, always experimenting with new recipes and asking friends for feedback, having a very active social life, with an admitted love of partying and going out when she can. In spite of this, Nyssa’s loyalest first and foremost to her family, especially her twin.

[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] ‘Lulu’ [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] McIlrath-Ramirez (2) is Nyssa’s niece and Liana’s daughter. Lulu’s a lot like her aunt, being an outgoing and energetic child, who’s always on the move, which can drive her parents mad. She’s primarily looked after her dad, as he’s taken a job that allows him to be at home with her, and the two are incredibly close because of this. Lulu’s strong will means she can be stubborn and difficult when she wants to do something and isn’t allowed, but is becoming less prone to throwing tantrums now she’s able to understand things more. Her favourite animals are butterflies and [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] is eager for a puppy, with her favourite stuffed animal - a little [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Russell[/name_m] named [name_m]Baxter[/name_m] - having inspired this.

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] [name_m]Barlow[/name_m] (2) is the best friend of [name_f]Lulu[/name_f], who is her next door neighbor and attends the same playgroup as her. Ivy’s mom is a fashion model, who always dresses her little princess in mini versions of her own clothes. Her mom is quite famous in the modeling world, and it’s hard to create time for [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] while also being famous, but she always finds time to do it for her.

You’re not annoying, no worries! What does worry me is how quickly this thread originally fizzled out after only 3 posts…this is definitely in need of a revival!


[name_m]Jethro[/name_m] “ [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] “ [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] [name_m]Barlow[/name_m] (22) is Ivy’s uncle and brother to her mother. He’s the kooky uncle and loves hanging out with her when her mother is doing her model career, but never tries to replace his sister as Ivy’s parent. He loves the closeness the mother and daughter have and they’ve joked that he should wear their clothes too. [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] doesn’t really want to do that but has allowed [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] to put makeup on him before just for the fun of it. It looked sloppy but it was good fun. [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] is single and for a long time he just wasn’t into dating, but he’s now open to start dating someone. [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] just graduated college and is an [name_f]English[/name_f] major but currently works in a department store just to make some quick cash and gain job experience.

[name_f]Makenna[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] McIIrath (22) is Lulu’s paternal aunt. She hangs out with her niece quite a bit since Lulu’s dad is with her most of the time. [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] is actually the one who bought [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] her favorite hat since the little girl wanted to match her Auntie Mak. Frequent playdates with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] have led her to become acquainted with [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] and she has developed a bit of a crush on him. Her brother has encouraged her to ask him out and she plans to when she works up the nerve.

[name_f]Makenna[/name_f] isn’t that close to [name_f]Liana[/name_f] and tends to get along better with [name_f]Nyssa[/name_f] as the two are both passionate about photography. [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] recently graduated with a degree in business and photography, her plan being to start up her own business eventually. Right now she’s just a freelancer but has been picking up a few clients. She lives in an apartment with her two best friends and they all have starkly different careers but get along splendidly. [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] enjoys shopping dearly no matter how cliche some people think that is. All of her friends know she’s the one to call if they need outfit help and she is always happy to give it.

[name_f]Freya[/name_f] McCloud (22) is the best friend of [name_f]Makenna[/name_f], who’s known her since kindergarten- the two met on the playground after bumping into each other on the slide. [name_f]Cheerful[/name_f] [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] offered shy, awkward [name_f]Freya[/name_f] a piece of raspberry candy and she gladly accepted- [name_f]Freya[/name_f] likes candies, especially raspberry ones, so that was the moment she decided [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] was a keeper. Freya’s parents are from [name_u]Glasgow[/name_u], [name_u]Scotland[/name_u], and they moved to the USA before [name_f]Freya[/name_f] was born- however all four of her older siblings were alive when this happened. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is the youngest in a family of five, and while she’ll often joke that she hates her siblings she’d do anything for them. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] has a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor and personality and she can sometimes come off as dark or scary, but she brushes it off- “anyone who thinks her sense of humor is stupid isn’t worth hanging around anyway,” but despite these kinds of statements [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is very sweet at heart and will cry if she squishes an ant, or even a mosquito.

[name_f]Freya[/name_f] knows about Makenna’s crush on [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] and fully encourages her to go for it, but at first she did tease her quite a bit about it and laugh at her. “Oh, please,” [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] scoffed, “As if you’re not in love with that girl you work with.” [name_f]Freya[/name_f] went beet red (as she often does whenever she’s flustered or embarrassed), and ran away from a satisfied [name_f]Makenna[/name_f]. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] works at a vintage 50’s diner, she skates around and delivers food to people. She thinks there’s a cute girl there who she might like- [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] teases her to no end. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] often butt heads at times but truthfully, they love each other in the most platonic way possible. In spite of her restaurant job, [name_f]Freya[/name_f] isnt too thrilled with the prospect of working there for much longer and the only reason she’s stayed is that girl- she has to get her number.

Freya’s real passion is art- she’s been doodling anime girls in her notebooks ever since the fifth grade, and she still loves character design, it’s just that’s he has to keep making money so her, [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] and their other bestie can keep living together in their apartment, without being evicted for not paying rent. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is determined to make it to the big leagues of animation, though- she knows she can, and everyone else does too.

Izanami " [name_f]Nami[/name_f] " Rinzaki (22) is the final roommate and dear friend of [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] and [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. She’s affectionately called the ‘balance’ within their dynamic, not being as outgoing as [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] bit less shy than [name_f]Freya[/name_f], and she’s typically the most level-headed one of the trio; even if [name_f]Nami[/name_f] does worry about being seen as too stern or boring from time to time. There’s almost nothing that can phase her though, and she’ll always have her friends backs when they’re worried about something, no matter how small others may dismiss it as. This is why it’s a shock to many that she was the first one to ever contest the rules of her old apartment lease, after taking in a stray cat who she realised had been abandoned by a former resident and hiding him from the landlord. Luckily, her current lease allows for pets so [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] happily shares the space with the three girls, and enjoys all the attention he receives very much. Disloyalty is something [name_f]Nami[/name_f] has absolutely no time for - a product of how she sticks by people through thick and thin - which has been revealed a few times…and it’s admittedly scarier than you’d imagine given her usual temperament.

Working for the financial department of a local nonprofit organisation, [name_f]Nami[/name_f] opted against attending university, which was a shock to most people - aside from [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] and [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. [name_m]Even[/name_m] before she considered applying, [name_f]Nami[/name_f] truthfully felt it wasn’t right for her, however telling her parents frightened her a lot. Her older sister is a pilot and her brother’s just started his own degree in physics, so she did feel she was disappointing them in not going - especially her dad who faced stigma for not pursuing higher education himself - but [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] convinced her to tell the truth and thankfully they were nothing but understanding of her decision. [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] was the friend [name_f]Nami[/name_f] made first as they both attended the same gymnastics classes when they were 10, and bonded because they enjoyed vaulting more than all their peers. [name_f]Nami[/name_f] still actively attends these lessons, as she’s proud of her flexibility, and also the energy it burns when she’s been cooped up working on accounts all day.

She’s also the only roommate currently in a relationship and not deliberating approaching a crush, having met her significant other through a work friend, and they’ve just celebrated their second anniversary. [name_u]An[/name_u] ideal date for the couple typically involves hiking or going to a pop-up event or festival where they can enjoy the outdoors and explore together - trips that tend to go on much longer than intended, but neither one of them ever complains. This absolutely doesn’t hinder [name_f]Nami[/name_f] from trying to get [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_f]Makenna[/name_f] confident enough to address their respective crushes, although she’s a bit sneakier in her methods, using her own relationship as a springboard for date ideas or potential ways to express affection. Really [name_f]Nami[/name_f] just wants to see them happy, as they’re been there for her while she navigated dating and her romance, so it only feels right returning the favour.

[name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] McCloud (23) is Nami’s work friend and the fourth-born McCloud sibling. [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] loves knowing [name_f]Nami[/name_f] and her partner are still together and going strong. [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] is a matchmaker to her friends’ relationships and is known to be good at this and has tried to help [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. [name_f]Nami[/name_f] is Gwynn’s biggest matchmaker confidant since [name_f]Nami[/name_f] is in a successful relationship and wants to help the girls as much as [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] does. Truthfully [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is rather shy and feels weird with her siblings knowing and [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] respects that because she doesn’t want to embarrass her. [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] has also kept Freya’s crush on her co-worker a secret from the other family members but says she “can’t be responsible” if they find out any other way. [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] still feels [name_f]Freya[/name_f] really does have a chance if she puts herself out there.

[name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] gets along with her family and is often the “glue” of her family, being the most calm. That’s why she gets along with Nami’s partner and knew they were perfect to match together. Still [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] isn’t afraid to ask for help and advice from others as well. Although [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] works for a non-profit organisation, she’s a fan of Nami’s sister’s pilot career and [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] attends flight school. [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] wants to stay in her career and mostly pilot small planes for a hobby, but she feels this really come in handy for times when a plane would be best. Ironically she used to be afraid of airplanes as a child and [name_f]Nami[/name_f] helped her overcome this fear. [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] now has a mostly-fearless lifestyle but secretly avoids duck ponds due to anatidaephobia (fear of being watched by a duck).

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] " [name_m]Seb[/name_m] " [name_u]Eli[/name_u] [name_m]Whitaker[/name_m] (23) is Gwynn’s matchmaking partner in crime. The two met in ninth grade after realizing they were both trying to set up Seb’s older sister with Gwynn’s older brother. They joined forces, it was successful, and now their older siblings are married with a kid on the way. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] stayed friends and he is the one teaching her to fly an airplane as he works at the flight school.

Seb’s dad works in the [name_f]Air[/name_f] Force and had hoped his son would follow in his footsteps. [name_m]Seb[/name_m] likes flying but that’s it, he’d rather fly for fun and teach others than join the military. His little sister is finishing college soon though and then plans to join the [name_f]Air[/name_f] Force which his dad is thrilled about. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and his dad have a good relationship though and he completely respects his son’s career choice.

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] has a girlfriend though the relationship isn’t going that well. They argue frequently which he hates and sometimes weeks go by before she’ll talk to him again. He’s feeling frustrated and has no idea what’s happening. [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] said he should have a serious conversation with his girlfriend and he plans to, right after she finishes the latest silent treatment.

tw: sexual assault - no graphic details but extra warning

[name_u]Dominique[/name_u] " [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] " [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] Cavanier (23) is Seb’s girlfriend, she of the infamous silent treatments. Mercurial is the best word for Nikki’s temperament, and she’s under no illusions as to how difficult this can be for others, having warned [name_m]Seb[/name_m] when they started to progress from casually seeing each other to forming a committed relationship. It was planes that led to [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] and her boyfriend meeting, as she’s just graduated university with a degree in mechanical engineering, planning on specialising in aircrafts now she’s applying for her bachelor’s degree. [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] was inspired by her mom - a mechanic who formerly worked as an air hostess before building up the urge to pursue her greater interest - and they frequently went on trips together whenever possible as she grew up; sharing an especially close bond because Nikki’s an only child and her dad had sporadic contact with her folloeing her parents split when she was 4; typically wrapped up in his own business and general lackluster paternal instincts. It’s her mom and grandparents who [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] took out for a special meal to celebrate her success, accompanied by [name_m]Seb[/name_m], and they did have a wonderful night then, devoid of arguments.

When [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] was only 15, she was sexually assaulted by someone older who she looked up to considerably, a deeply traumatising experience she hasn’t felt able to confide in many people about, including romantic partners unfortunately. Her tendency to be so rigid in arguments, and inability to back down from one, is a product of not being believed when she revealed what happened to her, having some people she cared for even trying to lay the blame at her feet for what happened. When coupled with her frustration at not being able to open up to [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] - who she does truly love with all her being, and wants to see happy - it makes her prone to becoming hyper defensive, which in turn spurs on her argumentative side. She doesn’t want the relationship to completely fall apart but opening up about what she went through terrifies [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] more than anything, as she lacks much faith due to what the past taught her.

Someone she always has, and still does, rely on is her best friend: the person who coaches her through any and all disagreements, as well as having talked [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] into applying for proper counselling once more. She grew up with a similarly poor father and the two would joke a lot as kids about the stereotypes surrounding them, continuing this even now they’ve matured and are looking towards the future. In spite of how much she encourages [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] to trust in people, she never pushes her past her limits and this is what allows her to relax so much when talking to the other girl. They play hockey together and go swimming, as well as planning a holiday to celebrate their recent milestones, which Nikki’s friend insists [name_m]Seb[/name_m] needs to attend as they’re going to be travelling with some others and feels the change in location could do good for both parties. The impending conversation is something [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] is quietly dreading, as she’s promised herself she’ll let [name_m]Seb[/name_m] know the entire story about her background, but it doesn’t make her nerves feel any less powerful…

Warning for drug manipulation and crime.

[name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] [name_f]Zeynep[/name_f] [name_u]Ali[/name_u] (23) is Nikki’s best friend and the girl that [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is falling for. [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] is from Jordanian and Turkish descent. She and [name_f]Freya[/name_f] are co-workers at the same restaurant and she too wants to pursue other job opportunities but feels like she can’t. When she was 17, she stole from a street vendor’s kiosk during a street fair and ran away with her loot, but was caught by police. The police wondered why she would steal out in the open in broad daylight with several witnesses, but it turns out she was on drugs at the time. Although Hafsah’s parents were poor and could somewhat see why she would steal, they questioned why [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] would be on drugs because she was never the type to do that and wouldn’t waste her money on it. It gets deeper — she bought lemonade at another kiosk that ended up being spiked with drugs and she didn’t actually consent to taking them. It actually wasn’t from anyone at the kiosk who did it, it was from another person at the street fair who did it while she accidentally left her drink behind while looking at the kiosks. While [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] ended up serving 53 days in juvenile hall (it was 60 days but she got out a week earlier for good behaviour) and the stolen items were returned, there wasn’t any solid evidence that [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] was manipulated. However only recently, they caught the perpetrator who spiked her drink to begin with when he confessed it to some friends, not realising they’d turn him in.

[name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] has been very careful and feared no one would hire her due to her criminal past even if she was a juvenile while doing it. People ask her why she’d be so “careless and foolish” to leave her drink behind and [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] wants nothing to do with those type of people. [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] always knew [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] wasn’t at fault and never considered her the type to do such things on her own will and comforts her just like [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] has comforted [name_u]Nikki[/name_u]. [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] has been turned down from job opportunities because of the incident so as much as she doesn’t care for her job, she’s happy simply to be accepted. [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] considers herself “lucky“ that she didn’t go through what [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] has gone though but both relate to being cruelly manipulated and then victim-blamed. While [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] would never steal while sober, she understands why people wouldn’t like her and went through counselling herself after being released from juvenile hall. She was stereotyped a lot as the poor kid turned criminal but she’s done her best to ignore that. She loves swimming and hockey, she’s always missed that the most when she was in juvenile hall and enjoys nothing more than being active. [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] has taken [name_f]Freya[/name_f] along but doesn’t know [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is falling for her, but would definitely love [name_f]Freya[/name_f] as a girlfriend. [name_f]Freya[/name_f] has also supported [name_m]Seb[/name_m] being there doing the activities with them, saying “Bring [name_m]Seb[/name_m]! It will be just like a double—“ and was about to say “date” before realising she and [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] aren’t a couple yet. She covered it up by saying, “We can play doubles in hockey.” [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] laughed but she wasn’t laughing at [name_f]Freya[/name_f], she was laughing with her and found it “cute”, which [name_f]Freya[/name_f] beamed at. [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] likes to be lighthearted but respects that it is a touchy topic for [name_u]Nikki[/name_u]. [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] has been more vocal about her bad experience since it was in public and she was nicknamed “Crazy [name_f]Street[/name_f] Fair Girl” whereas Nikki’s experience was more personal and not something people know about. [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f] supports [name_m]Seb[/name_m] a lot and knows he’s a wonderful boyfriend for [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] but wants to explore possible feelings she has for [name_f]Freya[/name_f] in her own relationship. Also she doesn’t want to intrude on anyone’s business but knows deep down, [name_u]Nikki[/name_u] and [name_m]Seb[/name_m] are right for each other.

tw: depressive episodes mentioned

[name_m]Marcus[/name_m] McCloud (27) is the second eldest McCloud sibling and acquaintance of [name_f]Hafsah[/name_f], mostly through hearsay though, thanks to his sister’s crush [although [name_f]Freya[/name_f] has sworn him to secrecy now she’s aware he knows]. While not the eldest, [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] functionally behaves this way for a variety of reasons. The primary one being the firstborn McCloud - who uses he/they pronouns, but has been using the latter more recently - has battled quite severe depression since their mid-teens, and [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] admittedly felt a duty of protection when it came to his brother’s well-being because of this. He hates to intrude on their life, which has been a point of contention at certain points [mostly when his brother dropped out of university, and felt [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] was hovering too much], but they love one another ultimately, and have a very close relationship in spite of some hiccups. There’s never been an identified ‘cause’ for what happened to the eldest McCloud, the depression just started to increase out of the blue, but [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] feels it’s important to keep people educated that mental health issues don’t always have an easy explanation, and sometimes manifest with little or no warning. Still he tries his best to avoid becoming a ‘walking PSA’ as some of his brothers’ friends went down the path of, as the mortification would be too much.

Working as a physiotherapist, [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] lives with his girlfriend and their friends who are also a couple. This has put some more distance between him and his siblings - not just on a physical level - as one of his roommates was disowned after coming out, and while he and his boyfriend are happy together, things blew up again when said roommates younger sibling got in touch as they’re also anticipating estrangement from the family. [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] considered asking if [name_f]Freya[/name_f] or [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] know anyone looking for housemates but doesn’t want to drag his siblings into a complex situation, given they have their own lives to focus on, and a plethora of aspirations to achieve. Knowing [name_u]Gwynn[/name_u] in particular is often a peacemaker means [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] tries to protect her from further pressure to the best of his ability, albeit isn’t obvious because of the way he goes about things.

His memories of [name_u]Scotland[/name_u] are clearer than his younger siblings, and sometimes Marcus’s old accent appears with certain words, which his girlfriend finds very charming [and he’s always bashful to be complimented about]. He has maintained a friendship with one person he knew there - who lived round the corner and saw the McCloud’s as fascinating due to being an only child - who he’s currently arranging to come visit [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] finally in the States. Being sentimental is something [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] is never ashamed about openly expressing, but he understands not everyone is this way inclined. His girlfriend absolutely is made of the same stuff though and they joke any children they have will be ridiculously sensitive, but it’s an affectionate joke, especially given they’ve just found out they’re expecting [not a planned development but given they’ve been together 8 years, the couple feel able to handle this development, partly thanks to their excellent communication skills]. [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] doesn’t have any plans on moving out with the new arrival coming as he loves living with his friends, although he has made them promise they can handle potential midnight streaming, which they’ve sworn won’t be a problem.

Jenesis “ Jenny “ Posie [left], Selena Skye [centre], and Deanna “ Dede “ Kinsey [right] Barlow (27) are fraternal triplets and all associated with the McCloud family in some way. They’re super close and have girls night outs every other Friday night. Jenny is pansexual, Selena is straight, and Dede is bisexual. As children they were very tight as triplets and wished they all had rhyming names (something they’re now thankful they don’t have) and wanted matches so they respectively named their hamsters Kailey, Hailey, and Bailey. However in adolescence they weren’t super close and didn’t care for the “triplet life” and making their status as triplets be their entire lives. Selena, who used to go by “Sela” growing up, stopped using her nickname and starting dyeing her hair blonde. Their younger brother Jeff also felt like he was tired of being left out since he wasn’t a triplet, was youngest, and was the only male Barlow. They’ve since found a good balance and Jeff doesn’t mind them at all. Selena still likes the blonde hair and not having a nickname and the others are fine.

Of the triplets, Jenny is the only one not facing motherhood yet while Selena is about to be a mother to Marcus’s child, and Dede is a mother to her daughter Ivy. They’re super excited for the expectant child of Selena and Marcus and are happy for her but at the same time, they let Selena and Marcus have their space and enjoy themselves. Dede believes that Makenna, her husband’s younger sister, is falling for her brother Jeff and she’s low-key wanted them to go for it and they’re a great match but won’t say anything to either of them about it to respect their privacy. While all three women love wearing glitzy dresses together, only Dede is a model. Selena works as an operator on a mental health hotline and has used her skills to help guide Marcus and his elder sibling. Selena isn’t famous like her sisters but she’s found her happy place and wouldn’t give it up for anything. Like Marcus, Selena is also very sentimental and empathetic to others’ sensitivities. Jenny has a performing career but she doesn’t use her name…or her gender. She’s a drag king under the persona Rowdy Rocx and the drag king persona uses he/him pronouns but while out of drag, Jenny uses she/her pronouns. Her drag king persona looks much different from her, sporting a fake but convincing braided beard, eyebrow piercings she only wears in the drag, a top hat, and lots of makeup done in a way resembling a male face. It’s crazy seeing Jenny have such a different appearance and more grooved-out performance as Rowdy Rocx but she adores the drag community and is good friends with one of Marcus’s roommates who has a drag queen persona. Dede, who has learned a lot about Scotland from the McClouds, has recently done some model work there and has gotten closer with the family as a result. She suspects Freya may have a crush on someone but doesn’t know it’s Hafsah and doesn’t look into Freya’s personal life with that.

[name_f]Perdita[/name_f] [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] Hanover (2) is one of Ivy’s friends who she has playdates with, and met all three triplets while attending her friends’ birthday party. The two know each other because Perdita’s mom is a model like [name_f]Dede[/name_f] [name_m]Barlow[/name_m] - known for her high fashion sense of style even when she’s not on the catwalk - who chose to have her daughter using IVF, after deciding she didn’t need a relationship to become a mother. She also had been through a stressful breakup and didn’t want to have a baby exposed to such a tense environment if another didn’t work out. Exploring is absolutely Perdita’s new favourite thing (her mom already knows climbing’s coming next), but nothing can top how much she loves the family cats: two maine coon’s named [name_u]Jazz[/name_u] and Chewie…

[name_u]London[/name_u] [name_f]Joye[/name_f] Hanover (15) is the frequent babysitter of [name_f]Perdita[/name_f] Hanover, and her aunt. [name_u]London[/name_u] is a lot younger than her older sister, being only 15, but despite the obvious age gap the two are very close and would do anything for each other. [name_u]London[/name_u] loves to take [name_f]Perdita[/name_f] on little “adventures-“ like going on stroller rides to the park, getting ice cream, and hanging out with London’s friends. [name_u]London[/name_u] lives in [name_f]Chicago[/name_f] with her mother- her parents divorced not too long after her sister moved out of the house, which crushed [name_u]London[/name_u] as she felt it was her fault. She blamed her sister for a month or two as she was a daddy’s girl and adored her father but soon realized it was only her fathers fault and stopped blaming her sister. [name_u]London[/name_u] admires the way her sister is raising her daughter, though she knows she’d never want to raise a child alone she thinks her sister is doing what right for her and thinks that’s an admirable thing.

Much unlike her sister, [name_u]London[/name_u] has no interest in modeling- instead she wants to be a character designer and animator when she grows up. She’s only in 10th grade, her second her of high school, but she’s already seemingly got her whole life planned out. She’s known who she wants to marry since she was 12- her best friend for life and girlfriend, who she’s been in love with for forever. The two are both a part of the school’s art club and love painting and doing all art forms together. [name_u]London[/name_u] is also a member of her school’s yearbook club- her school, Wildwood High School, is very accepting and open to all students. London’s very happy about that, her middle school barred her and her girlfriend from holding hands, but her high school banned dress codes based on a student suggestion by one of London’s friends. She’s very happy to be in an environment that accepts all students.

Warning for temporary disappearance.

[name_u]Keeley[/name_u] [name_f]Jia[/name_f] Yeon (15) is London’s girlfriend and is making friends with the other people [name_u]London[/name_u] has befriended. [name_u]Keeley[/name_u] truly hates most dress codes and feels as long as there’s a shirt and shoes, there should be service. She also has a much older sister although some horror was brought to the community when her sister went missing. For nearly two months, nothing was known about her whereabouts until she was found. She was thankfully found safe and alive but the whole story of what happened to her when she went missing was stuff not even she remembers. Keeley’s just grateful her sister is back but finds it truly scary how she just disappeared for some time with no way anyone could contact her.

[name_u]Keeley[/name_u] herself wants to be a voice actress and always found it a way she’s entertained herself. Her dream to to voice act for a show designed and animated by [name_u]London[/name_u]. [name_u]Keeley[/name_u] also loves [name_u]South[/name_u] Korean entertainment and her voice has a Korean accent. She wants to play a Korean character and knows [name_u]London[/name_u] will design and animate the perfect one for her one day. For now, she’s also just into hanging out with friends and painting alongside the other students in her art class. The art teacher is also Keeley’s favourite teacher and has motivated [name_u]Keeley[/name_u] the most. Truthfully [name_u]Keeley[/name_u] loves her school and while she hates work, she’s at least satisfied with what she’s learned and enjoys the free liberations.

tw: mental illness, mentioned episode of psychosis


[name_f]Sofi[/name_f] [name_u]Kai[/name_u] Yeon [29] is the older sister of [name_u]Keeley[/name_u]. Their parents intended to be ‘one and done’ with [name_f]Sofi[/name_f] being their only child but had a surprise when [name_f]Sofi[/name_f] was in her freshman year of high school. But the family welcomed the baby with joy and [name_f]Sofi[/name_f] was very excited to be a big sister. Though things became complicated when she got older. Her mental health began to deteriorate, mostly unnoticed by her family as they were busy with the new baby.

She had things mostly under control without the help of others until recently when she went missing without a trace. There was no sign of a struggle in her apartment and given accounts of her mental health issues the police ruled it as a being a case of a runaway. Her family went on the local news several times and attempted to bring [name_f]Sofi[/name_f] home but it was mostly fruitless.

After two months the family’s phone rang. [name_f]Sofi[/name_f] had been found in the bathroom of a truck stop in the next state. She was catatonic and unresponsive as well as completely nude without any of her personal belongings. She was only identified as a nurse who was transferred to the hospital she was brought to had come from [name_f]Sofi[/name_f] and Keeley’s homestate and recognized her from her family’s news appearances. Once reunited with her family she did begin to some out of her catatonia and recognized them at least partially. From there she was placed in a mental health facility where she was treated and formally diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Though she has little memory of her episode with her daily therapy sessions she’s beginning to recalls little bits and pieces of what happened. But she’s not ready to talk about it with anyone other than her therapist at the current moment.

[name_f]Sofi[/name_f] has since moved pack into her family’s home where they can ensure she sticks to her medication plan but are hopeful that she can return to living independently in the future.

Like she sister she also enjoys art and rekindled her passion for art while engaging in art therapy when she was in treatment. She’s supportive of Keeley’s desire to go into voice acting and would love to see her little sister in a movie or TV show someday.

Yusuf Kareen Ali (28) is Sofi’s friend, the first to know outside her family that she went missing, but he doesn’t know how that occurred. He’s thought about what went through Sofi’s mind at the time of the disappearance and he’s glad she’s safe, completely supporting her throughout her mental health struggles. Yusuf is a deputy so he knew about this case when it opened. Ironically Yusuf’s 23-year-old sister Hafsah went to juvenile hall at 17, something people ask him about, but he knew she was innocent and manipulated. He’s not Sofi’s boyfriend, Yusuf is actually currently married. He and his wife married 2 years ago, which was the best moment of his life. He and his wife are very close and she too has been supportive of Sofi along with being a great sister-in-law to Hafsah. Yusuf is multicultural and celebrates both Ramadan and Christmas. He’s always giving great surprises for his wife on Christmas, before they were married despite having a poor upbringing. He often made her sweet knit items but after they married, he bought her special gifts while still making her stuff. She’s caught on too and made him great stuff as well and he loves what she gives him. This year he’s going big and surprising her with a dream vacation which she has no idea about yet, but Yusuf isn’t greedy and he will be happy with whatever she surprises him with on Christmas too.

Hafsah was created by me.
