( tw: suicide mention )

Dohyun " [name_u]River[/name_u] " [name_m]Son[/name_m] (18) is the best friend of [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] who is currently living with her. Originally supposed to be an engineering student, [name_u]River[/name_u] told her parents that she wanted to major in art— leading to a huge argument that led to [name_u]River[/name_u] getting kicked out of her house. [name_u]Ever[/name_u] stoic and aloof, she pretends not to be too affected by it, though [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] has noticed her best friend further retreat into herself. She’s taking advantage of her gap year to focus on her mental health and the toll her parents’ forced estrangement is taking on her.

[name_m]Even[/name_m] it wasn’t her original plan, [name_u]River[/name_u] wants to be a tattoo artist some day— a dream that became hers when her late older brother, who was a tattooist, had committed suicide. The letter he left her made her realise that she loved art and she must pursue what makes her happy.

[name_u]River[/name_u] has been in contact with her cousin, who is offering her a place to stay that’s close to her campus. She doesn’t know what to do; although living with [name_f]Aoife[/name_f] would be wonderful, she does want to be close to the remaining family that she has.

[name_m]Jamari[/name_m] [name_u]Khari[/name_u] [name_m]Ysidro[/name_m] (30) is a world history professor of [name_f]River[/name_f] and the sperm donour of [name_u]Evie[/name_u] and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u]‘s two children. He is a proud member of the Black community but is half-Latino, having a Honduran father who passed his surname [name_m]Ysidro[/name_m] (pronounced “iss-EE-dro) and is close with both heritages. He uses cultural enrichment in his classes and is a popular teacher for the way his lessons are used in the modern world. He is getting a sense [name_u]River[/name_u] is not doing well mentally but she does not feel like telling him why. [name_m]Jamari[/name_m] does not force her and instead respects the mental health of his students and does not ever punish them nor give them much homework and allows them to chat with him in his classroom on Monday and Wednesday evenings to talk about schoolwork or just life. Outside of teaching, he is a chill, casual, and friendly person.

He is well respected by both [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] but it took time before he was considered as more than a donour. He and [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] are good friends and he is getting along with [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. He hopes to someday be a family friend of the couple and their children.

[name_f]Allegra[/name_f] [name_u]Jo[/name_u] Goldriche is Yvonne’s best friend. She is 11 years old, and like [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f], has level 2 Autism. She and [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] hyperfixate on similar things and get along very well. She enjoys doing hair & makeup, gymnastics, & cosplay. She met [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] 3 years ago at school. Her mother met [name_f]Evie[/name_f] & [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] in an autism support group around the same time, which lead to a rather strange coincidence.

Hye-rin " [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] " [name_m]Son[/name_m] (21) is Allegra’s former babysitter and River’s cousin, who still maintains a good relationship with the Goldriche family now she’s moved on to achieve her dream of becoming a model. Lilac’s mother runs the autism supporr group both families attend, which is how she ended up being offered the job, as both of her maternal uncles are autistic and [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] has a great deal of compassion, patience and understanding of other’s needs. This is usually overshadowed by how appearance dedicated she is - always being labelled as shallow before she properly introduces herself - but Lilac’s managing to overcome her anxieties regarding this now her career’s truly taken off.

She and her parents were horrified when [name_u]River[/name_u] was kicked out - leading to a huge row between her father and his brother (River’s dad) - especially in the wake of her cousin’s death; a tragedy [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] often finds herself thinking about, due to how close she was to both he and [name_u]River[/name_u]. Owning a chic, two bedroom apartment, this is where Lilac’s offered to let her cousin move - although she knows it may not happen and has no qualms with this. Although she’s in a relationship right now, they’re taking it slowly and don’t want to move too fast, enjoying their space as they’re often travelling together due to her boyfriend being a photographer. What’s important to her - cheesy as she calls it - is seeing her loved one’s flourish, even if her mom points out that [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] doesn’t credit herself much in this vision.

!Miscarriage warning! [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Anjelica[/name_f] Martins (32) is Evie’s girlfriend. It was found out last week that she is pregnant, and they used a different sperm donor as last time, which [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] is extremely worried about, as she was diagnosed with OCD a year after she lost her first child due to a miscarriage, and she finds it hard to concentrate and thinks it is her fault

Notice about the next character: He is Sloane’s son and the aforementioned miscarriage is briefly mentioned considering that he is a rainbow baby. Like the above post, the mentioning is censored. Also re-introduces a past character, this being from way back in May 2020.

[name_m]Leroy[/name_m] [name_m]Odin[/name_m] Marios (3) is [name_u]Sloane[/name_u]'s and [name_f]Evie[/name_f]'s son, [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f]'s brother, and a product of [name_m]Jamari[/name_m]‘s donations. His surname is a combination of his parents’ surnames Larios and Martins since the parents chose to combine surnames for their children rather than hyphenate. He is a sweet little brother ro [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] and despite being the first son of [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], he is not her first biological child due to her miscarrying her late daughter a year before he was born. He does not yet understand miscarriage or OCD, and wonders why [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] appears obsessive-compulsive but assumes he should hug her more which he does. He has a few feminine qualities which [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] feels is her late daughter’s soul lifting him. He is friends with [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f] and loves playing with her dolls. He enjoys daycare mainly because of her but loves the other kids too.

[name_m]Gideon[/name_m] Dae-hyun [name_u]Wilson[/name_u] (21) is the eldest sibling and who doesn’t mind being the only boy…for the most part. Currently attending college to obtain a degree in geology, the independence and space has been eye opening to [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] who’s thoroughly enjoying the new space, opportunities and people he’s meeting. When he’d feel a bit overwhelmed by being the only brother, [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] would confide in his dad, who got him into nature by taking him walking in local woodlands and fields where they could have some much needed bonding time. [name_m]Little[/name_m] did [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] [name_u]Wilson[/name_u] know, he was cultivating environmentalist urges in his son even then…

At uni, Gideon’s been introduced to a new interest - DJing - and performs at clubs and parties on a semi-frequent basis, loving the abundance of socialising involved thanks to being quite the butterfly. Two of Gideon’s closest friends also attend the same uni and they’ve remained tight-knit through their studies, one of them coming out as non-binary which he’s been nothing but supportive of.

Right now he’s living with them in a large house along with three others they’ve met through college, and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] has a pet bearded dragon named [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] who all his sister’s insist on getting sent pictures of (and the other pets his roommates have acquired since they moved in). He’s in a relationship too but hasn’t brought his partner home yet to prevent her feeling overwhelmed by his hectic home environmental, instead enjoying time with her on campus where they can find the odd moment just for themselves.

[name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] [name_m]Mitchel[/name_m] [name_u]Wilson[/name_u] (48) is the father of the Wilsons. He is of British and Australian descent and is married to his wife of South Korean descent. He and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] are strongly bonded as environmental men. He loves national parks and enjoys preserving nature for the future.

Growing up since he was 4, he liked the same girl. He and this girl grew up and during her teenage years, she got another boyfriend, much to [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]‘s dismay. However in college, they broke up and the girl, now a woman, was finally dating [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m], to his happiness. He has a fellow female high school friend who helped get them together and always rooted for [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m]. He and his girlfriend were engaged at 23 but unfortunately 6 months later, his dream woman would start to fall out of love and long for her ex-boyfriend from high school. They made the difficult decision to break up and Jeremy’s now-ex and her original boyfriend married. [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] would have been super upset but the pain was eased by the fellow female high school friend. That friend would eventually become Jeremy’s wife and have 5 children with him! [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] is glad he is with the right woman and loves his wife’s personality and motherhood. Although [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] and his ex-girlfriend are happily married to other people, they have since made up and are on good terms and the families’ children grow up together, just like old times.

( tw: discussions of murder )

[name_f]Chanel[/name_f] [name_f]Monet[/name_f] [name_m]Reyes[/name_m] (20) is a roommate of Gideon’s and a friend of his that he met in uni. [name_f]Chanel[/name_f] is Filipino-American, and was overjoyed to live in a house of predominantly [name_f]Asian[/name_f] people, as she felt more at home with people like her. She is currently in pursuit of a criminal justice degree, as one of her friends was murdered and due to a lack of evidence (and what she suspects, lack of proper investigation by authorities), her case ran cold. [name_f]Chanel[/name_f] doesn’t want something like that to happen ever again, so she decided she’d avenge her friend in this manner.

Outside of her educational journey, [name_f]Chanel[/name_f] has gotten into cooking, and posts a lot of the stuff she makes online on her cooking instagram. While she knows she doesn’t want to pursue this as a occupation, she does love the way she brings little bits of happiness into her roommates’ lives. She’s been learning recipes from all of her friends’ cultures as well, trying to make sure that everyone feels at home and appreciated by her.

[name_f]Chanel[/name_f] is the second eldest of six (one older sister, one older brother, three younger brothers, one younger sister) and while she does miss the rest of her siblings, she’s sort of happy to get her own space. She’s closest with her older sister though, and often eats lunch with her whenever she can.
