Create a Family with a Twist: December 2020

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?

Liana [name_f]Catrina[/name_f] [name_m]Ramirez[/name_m] (20) is an actress, dancer, and martial artist living in Los [name_f]Angeles[/name_f]. She is a mommy to a 1 year old daughter.

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] ‘Seb’ [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Ramirez[/name_m] (18) is Liana’s younger brother and an up-and-coming model. An ambitious, outgoing person, Seb’s staying with his sister in LA to pursue his career and also get a chance at inpdendence - as the siblings parents are quite protective of them. Growing up, [name_m]Seb[/name_m] struggled with his confidence, only coming out of his shell when he was fifteen, being an outcast prior to this - leading him to empathise with others.

Alongside his modelling, [name_m]Seb[/name_m] works at a small cafe and regularly goes the beach as he’s learning how to surf. This has lead to him making friends with others who hang around there and he’s finally comfortable in his own skin. Recently, he adopted a [name_m]German[/name_m] [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] puppy whom he’s named [name_f]Hera[/name_f], and takes her for long walks, listening to music produced by some of his other artist friends.

[name_f]Moneta[/name_f] ‘Monty’ [name_f]Elise[/name_f] [name_m]Nicholson[/name_m] (18) is one of Seb’s close friends. Gentle and kind-hearted, [name_m]Monty[/name_m] is always receptive to new people and accommodates easily, which has led to her becoming very popular within the group itself. While she loves creative writing, [name_m]Monty[/name_m] isn’t too certain about her future - being torn between pursuing authorship or trying out journalism - and isn’t always the best at voicing her own problems, as she doesn’t want others to feel they can’t rely on her.

Working part-time at her aunt’s cafe, [name_m]Monty[/name_m] lives with her mother, whom she’s incredibly close to - having lost her father when she was very young. When she isn’t writing, surfing or spending time with her friends, [name_m]Monty[/name_m] enjoys photography and watching documentaries, which inspired her interest in reporting. She also has two older brothers, one of whom’s at university and the other is starting his own family, whom [name_m]Monty[/name_m] visits whenever possible.

[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] ‘Fitz’ [name_m]Peter[/name_m] Finchley (19) is Jasper’s best friend who attends the same college as him, majoring in chemistry, albeit with less certainty about his future. [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] shares the sarcsstic nature of [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], albeit he’s usually more deadpan and illusive, which stems from being introverted. [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] was adopted at two years old and loves his parents, often going to visit them on weekends, especially as he now has his own car (which he bought thanks to saving up from his job in retail).

[name_m]Fitz[/name_m] lives on campus and is planning on moving in with [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] next year, alongside one of their other best friends. He enjoys street art in his spare time and was encouraged to pursue this by his girlfriend, who he’s been with since they met at a party a week into their studies.

Cassandra ‘Cass’ Ruby Maidstone (25) is the second eldest sibling. Cass went through a rough patch when she was eighteen, becoming pregnant by someone who abandoned her and dealing with a lot of shame following this. In spite of the stress and pain, Cass was determined to be the best mother possible, with her naturally maternal nature helping with this. She received support from her parents, which allowed Cass to continue with her education at 21, ultimately gaining a degree in geology.

Now working as a researcher, Cass is in a good place, raising her daughter and living close to the rest of her family. She has plans on adopting a pet in the future, but for now, yoga, bike rides and going on mini-adventures with her daughter is more than enough to make Cass happy.
