[name_f]Suzanne[/name_f] [name_f]Lynda[/name_f] [name_m]Benton[/name_m] [née Flannigan] (52) is the mother of [name_m]Flynn[/name_m], [name_m]Austin[/name_m], and [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f]. She knows [name_u]Lesley[/name_u] by being her neighbour and knows [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] treats her like a big sister along with [name_u]Austin[/name_u] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] going to her school. In addition, she is the first daughter of [name_f]Beulah[/name_f] and [name_u]Walter[/name_u] and the aunt of her brother’s children [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m], [name_f]Eliana[/name_f], and [name_f]Kira[/name_f] and her sister’s children [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] and [name_m]Nick[/name_m]. Despite being the oldest of the three siblings, she was the last to marry and last to have her first child [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], who is the fourth grandchild of [name_f]Beulah[/name_f] and [name_u]Walter[/name_u]. In addition, she is jealous and finds it “untraditional” that her younger sister (also her youngest sibling) was the first to marry and have children and that she moved to Manchester with them. She is the most traditionalist of her siblings and family.
While she is apprehensive about stuff she believes isn’t “traditional”, she is an open and caring person, protecting her family from hate even if it is religion-based. She knows [name_u]Lesley[/name_u] is attracted to girls and knows [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] is trans and supports them both but does not know [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] is pansexual or that [name_u]Austin[/name_u]’s girlfriend [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] is transgender. She respects her family and wishes them the best and while she believes [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] can get too caught up in daydreams, she has a secret of her own she hasn’t told her family or friends - she thinks her Christianity has taken over too much of her life and secretly wishes nobody else would let it take over their lives. She has bonded closer with [name_u]Lesley[/name_u]‘s family because she feels they would be the ones best understanding.
