Leon [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]Murray[/name_u] (50) is [name_f]Valerie[/name_f]’s dad. He grew up on a farm, and although he doesn’t live on one anymore his children have a horse each. He’s a keen gardener, and during the summer and autumn months the family don’t have to buy any fruit and veg because he grows so much.
Marshall ‘[name_u]Mars[/name_u]’ [name_u]Aeron[/name_u] Fallbeck (22) is [name_f]Valerie[/name_f]’s boyfriend, the two having met when they were only thirteen after his parents took over the stable, at first only having his younger brother for company. [name_u]Mars[/name_u] wants to follow in their footsteps and can seem a bit aloof at first, preferring his own company a lot of the time, spending time exploring the outdoors - something he’s gotten [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] into over time. He also spends his weekends volunteering at a nearby animal shelter, having a particular fondness for dogs.
Peter [name_m]Rueben[/name_m] Fallbeck (44) is [name_u]Mars[/name_u]’s father. People always comment on how young he looks, saying he must be [name_u]Mars[/name_u]’s brother. [name_m]Peter[/name_m]’s family has been involved in ranching for almost 100 years and [name_m]Peter[/name_m] was thrilled to find the opportunity to own his own stable and continue the family tradition his own way. Outside of the stables you can find [name_m]Peter[/name_m] listening to audiobooks about musicians in history or making his own hot sauce.
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] Fallbeck (19) is [name_m]Peter[/name_m]’s niece, [name_u]Mars[/name_u]’ cousin. She is a dancer and martial artist who resides with her parents and her older brother.
Catherine [name_f]Elise[/name_f] Fallbeck (40) is [name_u]Eden[/name_u]’s mom, [name_m]Peter[/name_m]’s sister. She was a teen mom and had her first child at 16. She’s a dance instructor, so [name_u]Eden[/name_u]’s been learning since she was little. In her spare time, she likes to read.
[name_u]Andrea[/name_u] [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f] [name_m]Keyes[/name_m] (18) is one of [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]’s dance students. She mostly does hip hop, but does jazz too.
Illyria Menna Umbridge (3) is [name_u]Andrea[/name_u]’s cousin. [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] is apparently her favourite person, because she teaches her to dance “like a fairy”. [name_f]Illyria[/name_f]’s parents own a small forest, where [name_f]Illyria[/name_f] and her siblings have a treehouse. This is [name_f]Illyria[/name_f]’s favourite place in the entire world and she has regular teddy bear picnics there. She’s very sociable and has lots of friends in her preschool class.
Artemisia ‘[name_f]Tasia[/name_f]’ [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] Umbridge (17) is [name_f]Illyria[/name_f]’s big sister. [name_f]Tasia[/name_f] loves poetry and usually finds somewhere quiet on her parents’ land to compose, although she’s more than happy to participate in the teddy bear picnics when a special guest is required. She has a bit of a perfectionist streak, but is generally an imaginative, kind hearted person. [name_f]Tasia[/name_f]’s also the first to volunteer to walk the family St. [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] - [name_u]Gus[/name_u] - and has recently saved up money from her weekend job to get a pet chinchilla, whom she’s named [name_f]Velvet[/name_f].
Evangelia ‘[name_f]Evie[/name_f]’ [name_f]Corrine[/name_f] Umbridge (15) is [name_f]Tasia[/name_f] and [name_f]Illyria[/name_f]’s sister. [name_f]Evie[/name_f]’s favourite thing is climbing, be it rocks or trees, with parkour being something she’s recently also began trying out. She’s bubbly, energetic and a little scatterbrained sometimes, always hosting sleepovers - and sometimes commandeering the tree house for privacy. Most mornings, [name_f]Evie[/name_f] tries to go for a run with the family’s younger dog, [name_m]Ferdie[/name_m] - a whippet, so she feels less bad about the biscuits she always buys at school.
Therese “[name_f]Terri[/name_f]” [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f] Umbridge ( 45 ) is the mother of [name_f]Tasia[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], and [name_f]Illyria[/name_f]. She is recently divorced but has had a girlfriend for the time behing. [name_f]Terri[/name_f] likes to read novels and watch shows like [name_u]Grey[/name_u]’s Anatomy.

He and his former wife have a good relationship in spite of no longer being together, working to co-parent their children together. An architect who’s able to work from home, [name_u]Layton[/name_u]’s a mild-mannered person who tends to come off as aloof and prefers to be private - although he’s an absolute goofball when it comes to his kids (much to the embarrassment of [name_f]Tasia[/name_f]). He also shares the girls’ love for animals and if caught in the right mood, is very easy to persuade into getting another.
Juniper [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] [name_m]Lawson[/name_m] ( 19 ) is the niece of [name_u]Layton[/name_u] and [name_f]Terri[/name_f] and cousin of [name_f]Tasia[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], and [name_f]Illyria[/name_f].

She’s got a following on social media for her edgy outfits and is happy with her life and where it’s going right now. Her other special interest is coding, and she’s also part of her friend’s game development team. She’s ambitious, driven, and sort of arrogant. She currently lives off campus with her boyfriend and her two year old shibe named Caramel.
Keith [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Wilson[/name_m] (20) is [name_u]River[/name_u]’s boyfriend. He’s currently a college junior studying chemistry with a minor in microbiology. His dream is to go to med school and become an oncologist. When he’s not doing homework, he really enjoys going hiking and playing mini golf. He doesn’t have any pets of his own, but he loves cuddling with [name_u]River[/name_u]’s pup Caramel.
Shiloh [name_u]Lark[/name_u] [name_m]Wilson[/name_m] ( 22 ) is [name_m]Keith[/name_m]’s older sister and best friend.

Lauren [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] [name_m]Peterson[/name_m] (41) owns Beans, the coffee shop where [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] works. [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] prides herself on her work ethic: not only does she run Beans, she also has a successful parenting blog and grows organic produce in her large back yard. Her four kids are her pride and joy and she loves going to museums with them and her husband on the weekends.
[name_f]Eva[/name] [name_f]Rachael[/name] Peterson (19) is [name_f]Lauren[/name]'s eldest daughter. She’s a trans girl and also works at Beans. Eva feels like her mother uses her blog for sympathy points sometimes, but loves her nonetheless. She’s a political science major and wishes to be a politician someday. She likes skateboarding and hanging with her friends in the meantime, though.
Maria [name_f]Ines[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] (18) is [name_f]Eva[/name_f]’s best friend. She isn’t super fond of skateboarding, but she goes to the skate park to support her friend and to be social. She loves cooking and baking, and wants to be a professional chef. She’s a little spoiled and not very mature, but she has a good heart and is a wonderful friend.
Neveah ‘[name_u]Nev[/name_u]’ [name_f]Suri[/name_f] [name_m]Gladstone[/name_m] (19) is [name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_u]Maria[/name_u]’s friend who they met at the skate park. [name_u]Nev[/name_u]’s love of skating tends to surprise people as she’s very feminine aesthetically, and even decorates her skateboard accordingly to this. She’s majoring in botanical sciences and knows the meanings behind pretty much any flower you can think of, resulting in her being a popular choice when it comes to dating advice. [name_u]Nev[/name_u] comes across as soft spoken and a little reserved, but she’s a total adrenaline junkie beneath her mild-mannered exterior.
