[name_m]Adrian[/name_m] ‘Rian’ [name_u]Robert[/name_u] Satterfield (30) is the youngest of the siblings and the only son. Unlike his more academic sisters’, Rian’s talents are carpentry and woodwork themselves, being incredibly talented in both practical and creative circumstances. Easygoing and reserved, he does worry about his abilities sometimes, but always knows he can rely on [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], who he was especially close to thanks to how she cared for him. He shares her thoughtfulness, enjoying making gifts for his loved one’s and has an obvious soft spot for animals - owning a rescue dog, a [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] Spaniel named [name_f]Molly[/name_f].
[name_u]Rian[/name_u] and his girlfriend have one child together, with them contemplating about having another soon. He loves swimming - having taught his nieces and nephews at the lake house - alongside music and hiking. When he was younger, [name_u]Rian[/name_u] traveled extensively, having met his girlfriend while backpacking in Southeast [name_f]Asia[/name_f].
Edith ‘Edie’ Delilah Satterfield (4) is Rian and Willow’s daughter. Edie has a big imagination and constantly is making up new stories she insists upon telling her parents, usually to do with magic - as witches are her favourite supernatural creatures and she’s eager to dress up as one for Halloween. She’s bold and outgoing, never shying away from voicing her opinions or thoughts, which can lead to hilarity or embarrassment depending on the situation. Edie is always with her favourite doll, Annie, who she got as a gift when she was a newborn - having been knitted by her maternal grandmother (or ‘nana’ as Edie calls her). Although she isn’t too certain about gaining a younger sibling, Edie is confident that she hopes to get a pet of some variety soon.
Leann Beatriz Camproverde (nee Morales) (36) is Edie’s teacher in the nursery school. Leann is a confident woman who loves children and knows how to deal with them. She often gives them interesting tasks and makes sure that they are friendly with each other. Leann has been married twice and has moved several times since childhood. She has three children and two large dogs, which the whole family cares for together
Dominique ‘Minnie’ Saffron Marcano (15) is Leann’s eldest child, the only one from her first marriage. While she resembles her dad physically, she takes after her mum in nature, being an outgoing and sociable young woman, involved in the cheer squad and gymnastics team at school. Minnie wasn’t exactly delighted to become a big sister at first but has come to care for her younger siblings immensely, even if she often prefers having space from them. She loves the numerous dogs the family owns more than anything though, always playing with them.
Currently, Minnie has a part time job working in retail, which she often complains about, yet quitting is the last thing she intends to do. At school she’s popular, although some people find her strong will power overbearing at times, yet her close friends understand her. If possible, Minnie would love to pursue gymnastics in the future, but is trying her best to be realistic.
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Wildflower[/name_f] Camproverde (5) “Trix” is Minnie’s little sister. [name_f]Trix[/name_f] is a loving, gentle, helpful, and obedient child. [name_f]Trix[/name_f] is a daddy’s girl. She loves doing everything with her dad, building things, fishing, camping, and playing basketball. But [name_f]Trix[/name_f] also has a girly side, [name_f]Trix[/name_f] participates in both dance and cheer and her dad always encourages her when she gets stage fright. [name_f]Trix[/name_f] has a little bunny plush named “cotton” that she takes everywhere. [name_f]Trix[/name_f] is very fond of her big sister [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] and she often has little “sleep overs” in her room where they paint nails, do face masks, watch movies, and eat ice cream.
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u] Camproverde (3) is [name_f]Trix[/name_f] and Minnie’s little brother. [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] isn’t as interested in sport as his sisters’, loving animals and always wanting to visit the zoo or a wildlife park, being especially fond of monkeys. He collects little toys of them, his favourite being a stuffed orangutan he carries everywhere named [name_m]Ludwig[/name_m] (or ‘Wiggles’ as [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] calls him). A sweet, friendly and gentle boy, he is prone to worrying thanks tobhis very active imagination, but Cyrus’s family are always there to reassure him, especially his mum who he’s very close to.
[name_m]Conall[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u] (3) is Cyrus’s best friend and the soon-to-be middle child of [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u] [@Lily_Grace]. A fellow lover of nature and the animal kingdom, [name_m]Conall[/name_m] adores wolves and dogs, thanks to the meaning of his own name. He loves going on outdoor trips with his family, always making a good attempt to practice his swimming, as Conall’s just started lessons and has his mother’s driven nature when it comes to testing out his progress. Conall’s a little shyer than [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] around new people, usually allowing his best friend to take the lead in situations, but just as creative and they play tonnes of imaginary games together.
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u] (6) is Conall’s big sister and Olivia’s oldest child. [name_f]Isla[/name_f] is very sweet, gentle, loving, and mature. [name_f]Isla[/name_f] has always acted like a little mother, she loves caring for her little brother (although he hates it) and playing with her baby dolls. This is why [name_f]Isla[/name_f] is so excited for the new baby on the way, and she’s hoping it’s a little girl! [name_f]Isla[/name_f] also loves playing dress up and is always in a new costume, although her favorite costumes are fairy and princess ones. [name_f]Isla[/name_f] also does ballet and her teacher says she’s a prodigy, she has begun branching out into other styles of dance like tap, jazz, and even hip hop.
[name_f]Annaliese[/name_f] ‘Anya’ [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] Enderby (19) is [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and Conall’s cousin and main babysitter, being Caroline’s [@cara_murvolio] youngest child. An introvert, [name_f]Anya[/name_f] prefers to be a homebody, living with her parents while studying archaeology at university; in part to save money, but also to ensure she’s regularly around to help out family members if needs be. In spite of her shyness around new people, and preferring to avoid lots of attention even around those she knows well; Anya’s incredibly sweet and patient, always there to cheer up or listen to her younger cousin’s if they’re looking for advice.
She shares her mother’s love of horses, owning one named [name_u]Toby[/name_u], and goes riding whenever possible. Anya’s also an avid caver, going with both friends and also on double dates with her boyfriend, best friend and best friend’s significant other. Recently she’s become interested in urban exploring too, and relaxes with audiobooks relating to history - especially that of Luxemborg, where her paternal ancestry traces back to.
[name_u]Finley[/name_u] ‘Fin’ [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] Marasigan (19) is Anya’s boyfriend, the couple having been together for just shy of three years, with plans on celebrating their anniversary soon. A skater who also loves parkour and rock climbing, Fin’s likewise reserved, albeit willing to speak his mind when asked or he feels it’s important. He can be somewhat rebellious in his own way, having been involved in tagging when he was younger, but Fin’s thoughtfulness means he stopped when it began to worry [name_f]Anya[/name_f]. Being the second of four kids means he enjoys time out of the house, having opted against university for now, thanks to not being certain about what he wants to study.
Instead, Fin’s training as a mechanic with his uncle and is enjoying this, having recently moved in with his cousin - who’s also his best friend. He visits his girlfriend when possible and as of now, Fin’s working on repairing a car for his own use, instead of borrowing his dad’s.
[name_f]Anika[/name_f] ‘Annie’ [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u] [name_u]Talley[/name_u] (19) is Fin’s cousin and best friend. Being born just two weeks apart [name_m]Fin[/name_m] and [name_f]Annie[/name_f] have been inseparable all their life and has been in all sorts of trouble together. Unlike her cousin, [name_f]Annie[/name_f] is already certain about her career path. Currently, she is studying veterinarian medicine at her local university and her dream is to work at a preserve in [name_f]Africa[/name_f] helping endangered and sick animals.
[name_f]Anika[/name_f] is the youngest of three and has always been good at school. She is smart and dedicated. But [name_f]Annie[/name_f] has tendencies to takes her studies too seriously and forget to also relax and enjoy being young. Therefore [name_m]Fin[/name_m] moving in with her is a great help in her stressful studies who reminds her to breathe and relax from time to time.
[name_f]Noemi[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] [name_u]Talley[/name_u] (23) is Annie’s older sister and the middle sibling. Working as a PA to an up-and-coming fashion designer, Noemi’s constantly on the move, something she loves after a gap year spent travelling around [name_u]South[/name_u] [name_u]America[/name_u] ignited a passion in her. [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] speaks Mandarin and Spanish, having always had a talent for languages since school, sharing Annie’s devotion to studies, albeit she considers herself as someone who works better under pressure, meaning she had an unorthodox approach to academics.
Alongside fashion and photography, [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] involves herself in charity work whenever possible, often helping organise fundraisers and has done several sponsored events. She lives with two of her friends - a model and a journalist - alongside her Norwegian forest cat, [name_f]Sara[/name_f]. [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] tries to cycle or walk most places too, having been influenced by being in a relationship with an ecologist, who she met in her first year of university, and the couple are closer than ever currently.
[name_m]Marius[/name_m] [name_u]Liam[/name_u] [name_u]Talley[/name_u] (25) is the eldest sibling and only brother. A studious person like [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_m]Marius[/name_m] is currently working on his masters degree, alongside working as a librarian, with hopes on becoming a university professor some day, specialising in sociology. Usually introverted and mild-mannered, he can come across as a bit antisocial and distant at first, however hidden beneath this is someone with a great sense of humour and dedicated loyalty to his friends and family - always being the first to offer support or advice advice called upon.
Currently, [name_m]Marius[/name_m] is living with his significant other and they’ve recently bought their first house together, with some conversations about marriage having come up (albeit no proposal yet…until [name_m]Marius[/name_m] figures out the perfect way of doing it). He owns a gecko named [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u] and when he has free time, [name_m]Marius[/name_m] enjoys cycling, rock climbing and playing the piano - something he was taught by his late grandma.
bump!
Kayra Aubrey Bradbourne (25) is Marius’s live-in girlfriend. Despite being a decade older than her sister Leia, the two are close, both being professional athletes. Leia isn’t even the youngest sibling of their family, they have younger siblings. However Kayra has a dilemma of her own. She’s a professional basketball player but during an important game, she attempted to jump and shoot a basket for the winning point, but fell awkwardly, shattering her ankle. She also didn’t get a basket and lost that game. Being the daughter of a physiotherapist has helped her immensely and she couldn’t be more grateful, especially given the state her ankle was in at the time of the fall. She almost thought the injury would end her career, but what may end her career is her own mentality. The embarrassment is still there and Kayra can’t stop blaming herself for losing that game, feeling like a “klutz” and a “failure”. She’s not sure if she should continue basketball or pursue something else, as her heart has shifted on some other career choices, but usually they’re just something she’s temporarily obsessed with but gets over quickly, which isn’t something she ever felt with her basketball passion. She still isn’t sure which path to go for but thanks Marius for helping her get through this and his loyalty and dependability is unrivaled. She knows Marius has been more romantic with her and assumes that it was because of her hard times, but would be beautifully and happily surprised with him when he proposes.
Leia was created by @cara_murvolio.
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_m]Stavros[/name_m] (30) is a point guard on the same basketball team as [name_u]Kayra[/name_u], the Los [name_u]Angeles[/name_u] Lionesses (I made that up just now). [name_f]Athena[/name_f] has been somewhat of an older sister figure for [name_u]Kayra[/name_u], always encouraging her to never give up and keep winning games. [name_u]Kayra[/name_u] is always grateful to have her there whenever she needs help but sometimes she feels uncomfortable, like Athena’s treating her differently just because of the accident. Which she is not, [name_u]Kayra[/name_u] just has such a toxic mentality that it’s ruining her relationships with the other team members- [name_f]Athena[/name_f] feels terribly sorry for her but again doesn’t because even if she got hurt she should still be nicer to [name_f]Athena[/name_f], who only means to help. She is really conflicted but hopes [name_u]Kayra[/name_u] can snap out of it and get back on the playing field.
[name_m]Born[/name_m] and raised in [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] to mother from Indianapolis and a father from [name_u]Athens[/name_u] (hence her name, Athena), [name_f]Athena[/name_f] always noticed she had a very high amount of energy and was very athletic and active- her whole family was supportive, including her two younger twin sisters (one of which studied cosmetology and is running a semi-well known makeup line, the other is a jewelry maker). [name_f]Athena[/name_f] always tried to set a good example and be a role model for them, but sometimes it was hard as [name_f]Athena[/name_f] couldn’t really control herself- she was later diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and while she at first struggled to accept it, she’s come to terms with it a little more now.
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] is married to a woman who works at a bakery in downtown LA, and the two have three kids together via IVF (her brother in law was the donor)- a boy and two twin girls, as it runs in Athena’s family. She hopes they all follow their passions, and maybe got into athletics- though she won’t force it on any of them.
tw: neglect, drug abuse
[name_f]Julianna[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] Market (31) is Athena’s wife and bakery employee who doesn’t seem too traditional in how she’s gone about life. Before their eldest children were born, [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] was a tattooist and worked at a shop owned by her best friend, but found a passion for baking while she was at home looking after the twins - and the career change allowed for more flexible hours, meaning she’s around when the kids need her, especially if a school call comes in and she needs to dash off. Body art is still an undeniable passion of hers and she designs tattoos in her spare time for the shop she worked out of, not wanting to entirely say goodybe to this part of her life given how much it means to her. [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] and her brother were raised in the foster system after being subjected to severe neglect by their father - who was a prolific drug abuser and not someone either sibling has particularly fond memories of (not that they’re exactly clear given [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] was only 7 when she went into care).
She does her best to provide advise to her wife when things are rough at work, having experience dealing with difficult people thanks to her upbringing, and is always someone willing to provide a listening ear. [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] always encourages creative pursuits to the kids and is very adept at handling messed or chaos that transpires: what’s important to her is that they’re enjoying themselves. A little ironically she absolutely is not a sporty person, aside from swimming and the occasional spot of yoga, so she jokes ahout not having any knowledge of Athena’s favourite pastime. She’s always done her best to help her wife not stress over her diagnosis, and is taking steps to educate the children about ADHD so they’re understanding of what their mom experiences. Julianna’s eldest niece - her brothers daughter - is neurodivergent, having been diagnosed with autism when she was 6, and she also ensures the kids are considerate of their cousins sensitivities, which she learned well as she was the primary babysitter of the now 13 year old while her brother and his wife were working.
[name_u]Elison[/name_u] [name_u]Rhett[/name_u] Market (38) is Julianna’s older brother and father to two beautiful children. He is the uncle to [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] and Athena’s children. He himself has Asperger’s Syndrome and has used his own experiences from being on the spectrum to help his daughter. [name_u]Elison[/name_u] used to be very quiet and not tell people about this, but has since been more open abou it. He is a fun person to talk to and enjoys himself doing so. He remembers a lot of stuff and is very wise, but very disdained by things perceived as distracting. [name_u]Elison[/name_u] is a school faculty member of his and [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] & Athena’s children’s school, working at the school’s library. His wife is a good friend of [name_f]Julianna[/name_f] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f] as well and has tattoos of her own.
