Maitane " [name_m]Tayn[/name_m] " Fiomara Venancio (23) is one of Eve’s roommates, the baby of the household as they’re jokingly called on account of being the youngest. Having majored in creative writing, their current job isn’t what they expected, but it’s not exactly one they’ll complain about: Tayn’s the secretary of an experienced publisher, who’s responsible for communicating regarding releases and stock of novels being printed for sale. They hope to one day have a book of their own being distributed, but that’s a slow process right now, as Tayn’s a self-confessed perfectionist who takes a long time to finish a short story, never mind a whole epic saga. That and the matter of [name_m]Tayn[/name_m] having a pet cat of their own - Munchkin, a rescue named for her size - and they’re very prone to getting distracted watching her and [name_u]Sora[/name_u] play together, or caving when one of the cats is requiring affection.
[name_m]Born[/name_m] into a Portuguese-Canadian family, Tayn’s actually avoided by [name_u]Rudy[/name_u] at all costs. Their dad’s a detective after all, and since abandoning his families in the US years ago, he’s dreading the idea of one day being identified. The fact his children were of an age when they needed financial support still means he could be prosecuted for the money owed, and while he’s not that materialistic, the fear of that confrontation keeps him treating [name_m]Tayn[/name_m] like the plague in human form. As they and [name_f]Eve[/name_f] are oblivious to this, they just found it funny how he suddenly went for a trip south when Tayn’s parents came round for a long weekend, joking he must have some secrets he needs to keep.
Within the family, Tayn’s still the baby, something that furthers their roommates title. They’ve got an older brother and sister who are both still living in [name_f]Canada[/name_f], however their brother’s job has seen him go to [name_m]Montreal[/name_m], and their sisters’ now mum to an eight month old child - Tayn’s nephew - so they’ve not seen as much of them recently. Growing up, [name_m]Tayn[/name_m] absolutely idolised their older siblings and frequently followed them about: something their brother loved but their sister wasn’t always too keen on [not that it deterred [name_m]Tayn[/name_m], who has their dad’s tenacious spirit]. It was their mum - a prison doctor, who’s unshakeable even by Venancio family standards - who’d stop any feelings getting hurt, and by the time [name_m]Tayn[/name_m] was in their mid-teens, they and their sister had formed a very tight knit bond. There are plans for Tayn’s nephew to visit them soon [instead of going to their parents or the home their sisters’ partner renovated for his growing family], although they’ve made [name_f]Eve[/name_f] promise to not let him near any paints, as he’s very mobile and absolutely will want to begin creating a masterpiece on the walls, floor or even his own face.
In a coincidence that would have [name_u]Jessie[/name_u] running in a similar manner to her confident, Tayn’s actually been in correspondence with [name_f]Grace[/name_f] more recently, thanks to outsourcing books to smaller shops such as One More Chapter. Although they aren’t friends yet, [name_m]Tayn[/name_m] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] have found mutual passions for not just books - shocker - but also crafting jewelery and customising clothing, as Tayn’s partial to iron on patches and decorating things with badges. Some might say that fate, or a mischievous deity, is determined to see the past catch up with one or both of [name_u]Jessie[/name_u] and [name_u]Rudy[/name_u], however it’s not like [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_m]Tayn[/name_m] will bond enough for them to invite her to visit…right?
