O’Leniyah [name_f]Maevis[/name_f] Fite (10 months) is Alysha’s granddaughter and the daughter of [name_f]Jessica[/name_f]. She’s a sparkly little girl who loves marionette puppetry. She doesn’t care that she’s not famous. Her parents are very successful and have kept the details of her birth private. But it was a birth in lukewarm water and was exciting when she came. She loves walking. She thinks she is better than she is. So her parents have to make sure to be careful. She never wants her hair cut. [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] loves styling her hair.

[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] ’ [name_f]Tori[/name_f] ’ Ruò Xuān Wu (35) is Amanda’s mother and stepmom to Alysha’s daughters, who chose to keep her maiden name after marrying [name_m]Wesley[/name_m]. This is actually because [name_f]Tori[/name_f] had a husband before meeting [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] herself, and the subsequent process of changing her surname back was too tiresome for her. The fact O’Leniyah is closer in age to her aunt [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] is something Tori’s family found a bit unusual at first, but she’s always been clear that the relationship between the children is there’s to define, and funnily enough, [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] loves showing off about her status to friends at school.
Tori’s formed a good relationship with her stepchildren and [name_f]Alysha[/name_f] as well, as she’s absolutely against pitting people against each other or playing favourites. When she and Welsey became a couple, [name_f]Tori[/name_f] also was firm in not wanting [name_f]Amanda[/name_f] put into the spotlight unnecessarily, as she saw all the unhappiness [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] endured (and how it still pops up in the father/daughter relationship today), making it clear she’d leave if Amanda’s boundaries were ignored.
Unlike her husband, [name_f]Tori[/name_f] didn’t have any children with her ex, partly because they were fresh out of college when they tied the not and only made it past 6 months before realising they’d made a big mistake. Their romance was a whirlwind, but when it fizzled out, both of them realised they had next to nothing in common when it came to wants for the future, and so a hasty divorce followed. Thankfully there’s been no issues between them since they split, they’ve just gone on with their lives independently

Ewan Omar Faber-Lennon (35) is Tori’s ex-husband, who admittedly made a mistake. He doesn’t hate Tori for marrying Wesley, even though he and Tori had much different dreams for the future. He’s glad he’s not Wesley, given he couldn’t imagine being married to someone like him, and he’s sure Wesley enjoys not being compared to him. Ewan and Tori had a lot of relatable ground before marrying, but not so much during it. He stated Tori didn’t need to take his last names in marriage, after all his own parents hyphenated. His family got along with hers as well, though admittedly they did think he was going too fast. Ewan often “grew up fast” in a lot of ways, which stemmed from him being the older brother of his sister Dione, who is just 21.
He often didn’t relate to his younger sister Dione, given their huge sibling age gap, and the two often stayed with their own friend groups. But Ewan madly respected Dione as a sister since the day she was born, even if he used to find having a baby sister as a teenager “really cringey”. Ewan wants to be more respectful of her though, since he knows she isn’t a baby but an adult, and knows that it’s not okay to call someone “baby” just because one’s own perspective thinks that. Ewan’s friend also has a considerable age gap with a younger sibling, which has made it more relatable for him. He doesn’t want Dione to make the mistakes he did in his marriage, though Dione knows all too well and Ewan doesn’t need to tell her.
Ewan was also going too fast in his career choice, and admittedly regrets his major, feeling it limited him more than it helped him. He works in a designer outlet shop, basically a discounted-price version of a regular designer store. He is happy to buy the clearance clothes before they go out of stock. He supports Dione’s music in Ouroboros and wishes he had their musical talent, but doesn’t use this as jealousy against her. He feels he should have been more romantic for Tori but also not shy away from what he wants to tell her, especially when he wanted to move away but she wasn’t keen on another huge decision like that. Ewan lacks people skills sometimes, with some conflicts arising in his life from bad communication. Though he’s always aware on when to hold on and when to go his separate way, which is what keeps him grounded in life.

And Lindsey nice character. Though I think you posted your country music request in the wrong thread. I have messaged a song, hope you like! We’ll just proceed this thread as usual now.

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_m]Richardson[/name_m] (35) is Ewan’s friend and a role model to all. Their mutual love, tender care, and undeniable kindness has been the foundation of their friendship and why it’s lasted over the years.
She has a younger sibling. Despite their age differences, they share values and she gives a leadership role in her life to guide the younger generation. She is a dedicated nursing school teacher and desires her time with support. Her goals are always within reach and she stands up to keep herself going.
While she has yet to be a divorcée, she comforts and encourages [name_m]Ewan[/name_m] through his troubled time. Her parents have always respected her and she has given the same respect with brilliance.
The power of her mind and spirit of her actions have been pivotal points in her life during her mid-thirties. She has a lovely voice and enjoys country pop music to uplift her dreams.

[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_m]Honour[/name_m] [name_m]Richardson[/name_m] (22) is Elizabeth’s younger sister and fresh graduate, having just completed what she calls Part One in her journey to become an architect. She was very much a surprise to their parents, conceived and born when they were in their early 40s, however [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] hasn’t ever complained about this, nor has the age gap between her and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] really bothered her. There was healthy space between them because of their years apart, while [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] always knew she had someone to rely on should their mom and dad be unavailable, and in turn [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] had someone to be less serious around.
Now she’s graduated, [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] has plans on remaining living with 2/3 of her roomates through, those being [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_m]Sam[/name_m]. Originally she shared a house with three college friends, however towards the mid-part of their living arrangement, the fourth person they were sharing with - who’s nonbinary - met their current boyfriend and distance began to form.
It’s not that [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_m]Sam[/name_m] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] demanded or expected constant time together as friends, but the relationship very much overtook the fourth roommates life and priorities. [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] turned to her sister during this time, as she knows [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] went through this too about ten years ago, and the response she got was fairly upsetting, although [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] was anticipating it: some people just get fixated on romance and prioritise it above all else.
Other friends have spoken to [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] about being pretty much phased out of their friend’s life, and it hit her with some weight. [name_m]Sam[/name_m] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] have been friends for well over fifteen years, so the fourth roommate formed a duo with her, and while by no means have the others excluded [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], she misses that specific bond they formed with each other. She has considered asking if they can rent a larger property should this person want to come back into the fold, as - through the grapevine - [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] is aware their boyfriend’s proven himself to be a solidly difficult sounding partner.

[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] “ [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] “ [name_f]Camille[/name_f] Sturgess (26) is Sam’s older sister, who knows and trusts [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]. [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_m]Sam[/name_m] have been the closest of the group so of course she also trusts [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. She’s just glad the fourth roommate didn’t make [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] “choose sides” even when it felt like the friendship of the four was divided in packs. [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] herself only had one roommate Shelsy, who never really felt that much of a bond with her. They just felt “there” to one another while never quite knowing one another. Initiating conversations just felt awkward. [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] felt she didn’t know much about her former roommate except for the fact that the other woman really hated all of Lexa’s fave YouTubers. Given her love for cooking, Lexa’s fave video genre was the cooking channels, but her roommate tried to tell [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] how much her creators “suck”. [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] didn’t react though, she just told her roommate, “whatever”, and always watched with headphones on just to avoid annoying her roommate. Influencers aren’t everything so it wasn’t like [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] needed her roommate to like the same people she did. In fact, she’s happy for Shelsy’s success being a nurse in OB/GYN and knows Shelsy is better off with her roommate and best friend [name_f]Khloe[/name_f]. Lexa’s on better terms with Shelsy but accepted that they’re just not the best as roommates. If [name_f]Khloe[/name_f] gets along well, and Shelsy gets along well, but [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] isn’t really bonding with either, then
[name_f]Lexa[/name_f] is the common denominator in why the three can’t all be roommates.
It’s not quite her fault, people change and sometimes [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] worries she “hasn’t changed enough” for people. [name_m]Or[/name_m] that they’ve “changed too much” for her. At least she’s changed enough to move on. While [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] has moved on, she doesn’t mind that the three roomies want some sort of reunion. From what [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] heard from [name_m]Sam[/name_m], the fourth roommate always promised love would never change them. But clearly this isn’t the case, and while the former roommate feels it’s a change for the better, there’s people who clearly disagree. [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] doesn’t mind if others doesn’t like her taste of content creators but knows her sister does mind, and rightfully so, on the direction things have went with her former roommate. It would be different if the couple wasn’t so tight on their views. Although they’re not that close, [name_f]Lexa[/name_f] feels some bond with [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] about how things have altered with their younger sisters’. Both of them worry how the tables would turn if the former roommate of said couple wanted to make a major step in the relationship. Would their partner comply? Would they change even further? And what about the flip side – if the boyfriend was the one who wanted to make the next big move?

[name_m]Denali[/name_m] [name_f]Maria[/name_f] Brugués (22, they/them) is the former roommate of [name_m]Sam[/name_m], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], who Lexas’ heard so much about, leading to her own musings and speculation. If you asked Denalis’ parents and younger sister if they’re surprised by the way things ended in the old roommate situation, they’d respond with a hard no. Since middle school, [name_m]Denali[/name_m] has consistently had a boyfriend, and they were fascinated by romance even before then. They grew up loving tales of grand gestures and soulmates, which of course has charm and great meaning, but unfortunately led to them putting such ideals on a pedestal that became more overbearing as they grew up.
[name_f][/name_f]
When [name_m]Denali[/name_m] met their boyfriend it wasn’t a love at first sight situation, which furthered the shock for [name_m]Sam[/name_m], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] really, as there wasn’t a warning sign things would get so intense. He and [name_m]Denali[/name_m] were both servers at a university venue, where they bonded, however he didn’t show any signs of being attracted towards nonbinary people, so [name_m]Denali[/name_m] assumed nothing would come of their crush. Until a fateful work outing for ice-skating when they walked home together, and revealed his feelings. This proved to be the beginning of the end for things as [name_m]Denali[/name_m] and their roommates knew life to be.
[name_f][/name_f]
In truth, [name_m]Denali[/name_m] misses [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] a great deal. It’s a repeat of how they’ve really longed for their other close friends who were left behind when a new soulmate came on the scene, but maybe maturity is starting to kick in, as the world of mostly associating with their boyfriends’ friends [not that he has many, but generally he hasn’t been as attached as [name_m]Denali[/name_m] and their roomies were to one another] has become one less and less appealing to [name_m]Denali[/name_m] over time. They still love their boyfriend dearly and do feel it was right moving in with him, but for once, [name_m]Denali[/name_m] is genuinely wondering if focusing so wholeheartedly on a romance isn’t going to make either of them happy in the long term.

[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] Brugués (18) is Denali’s younger sister, who’s dealt with some of the fallout regarding [name_m]Denali[/name_m] and their former roommates. [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] genuinely thinks it’s cute how things worked out for [name_m]Denali[/name_m] and their boyfriend. It’s not that she sees their roommates as lesser, but [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] has always been the type of person who finds joy when things work out happily. [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] is majoring nursing and is already desiring nursing school after uni and nothing will change her career plans. [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] is straightforward like that, something they’ve picked up from [name_m]Denali[/name_m], but sees it in a good way. That doesn’t mean [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] agrees with Denali’s boyfriend lifestyle, in fact she’s gotten sick of hearing [name_m]Denali[/name_m] hype about who is and isn’t “the perfect guy”. So she’s completely relieved it’s working out and hopes it stays that way. Obviously she wants her sibling happy, but another reason why is the way it all ended with Denali’s roomies. If [name_m]Denali[/name_m] just left the picture and it
didn’t[name_f][/name_f] work out, it would feel like a gigantic waste in Aquinnah’s eyes.[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] always found the stories that [name_m]Denali[/name_m] told about [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], and [name_m]Sam[/name_m] to be really interesting. She misses hearing about them and she thinks [name_m]Denali[/name_m] deserves friends in their life too, not just a romantic partner. But she doesn’t want to come off as unfair to either side. It’s hard to fix broken trust, something [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] knows firsthand. She’s caused a rift with her grandmother before growing up, and it took years before her grandmother was able to let go and forgive her. [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] doesn’t want to lose her bond with [name_m]Denali[/name_m], but is clear that she’s not going to take sides. [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] is mostly supportive of Denali’s boyfriend, mainly since she doesn’t judge people she truly believes to have a good heart. But she just doesn’t know how his friends are, she’d like to think they’re nice too but they give off this vibe of being potential “replacements”. Not to mention how Annabelle’s perceived Denali’s partner to be difficult, and while he hasn’t spoken directly onto it, [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] worries there’s some sort of ultimatum to be brought here. But she felt there wasn’t anything that would make [name_m]Denali[/name_m] go back once they knew he liked them back. [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] often quietly rambles, not to anyone around her other than her tortoise [name_m]Koi[/name_m], because [name_m]Koi[/name_m] “doesn’t bring the drama”. She found it cringey but genuinely enjoyed it. [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] ironically does like drama, but more so as a movie genre. Lately [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] herself wants to find some friends, though she’s not sure if she would consider Denali’s boyfriend as anything past an acquaintance to her.

[name_f]Parthenope[/name_f] ’ [name_m]Ari[/name_m] ’ [name_f]Jane[/name_f] Milstein (18) is an fellow student on Aquinnahs’ nursing course, who actually knows of [name_m]Denali[/name_m] too, not that [name_m]Ari[/name_m] or [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] have twigged this yet. [name_m]Ari[/name_m] is the cousin of one of the people in Denalis’ current social group: the one their boyfriend belonged to first. She isn’t super close to the cousin with this connection [name_f][/name_f]- not because of any conflict, they just have always liked different things and aren’t similar in personality either [name_f][/name_f]- but [name_m]Ari[/name_m] has been privy to some of the story regarding [name_m]Denali[/name_m] and their former roommates.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] having such a straightforward nature is why [name_m]Ari[/name_m] has noticed her actually. It’s not only something she likes, but something she wishes she could emulate more herself. [name_m]Ari[/name_m] feels she can get lost in the weeds of things too easily, which can also apply to how she communicates things. In high school she tried debating to overcome this, but quickly got bored as she wasn’t really invested in the arguments she was making.
[name_f][/name_f]
Since starting her degree, [name_m]Ari[/name_m] has reaffirmed her passion for swimming, and tries to go as much as possible. Given her commitments to studies, it’s not always viable, but this hasn’t made her quit. She’s also been getting into mosaic customised, specifically with mirrors and boxes she gets at thrift stores. [name_m]Ari[/name_m] would really like to share this interest with someone else, but asking her roommates feels a bit too ‘mandatory fun’ (as she calls it). Maybe [name_f]Aquinnah[/name_f] is someone she might ask after class sometime…
