[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_u]Noel[/name_u] [Rhodes] Ackerman & [name_u]Tanner[/name_u] [name_m]Morris[/name_m] [name_u]Rhodes[/name_u] [21] are fraternal twins and the final children of the 6-person [name_u]Rhodes[/name_u] family.
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] is especially close with [name_f]Petra[/name_f] now but it hasn’t always been that way - she is quite the protective sister and being the only girl with 3 unruly brothers she feels a motherly responsibily for them. At first she was convinced that despite being extroverted , [name_f]Joy[/name_f] has no self-awerness and can’t read people properly , and her effort to set up a date for [name_f]Petra[/name_f] & Rhodey will only leave Rhodey hearbroken and used. [name_f]Petra[/name_f] 's not very affectionate and genrally cold demeanor led [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] to believe that she will dismiss Rhodey 's genuine special needs and only flaunt the relationship to get more likes as a fashion influencer and gain bigger following for pretending to be an ally for disabled people due to dating a guy like this. However, [name_u]Tanner[/name_u] was more sensible than [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] and made greater effort to actually get to know [name_f]Petra[/name_f] and her family history. [name_u]Tanner[/name_u] also made [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] realise that she cannot infantalise [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] or make him feel like he’s incapable of making the right decisions for himself, especially because he’s actually the eldest brother and if anyone still needs to be “babysat” it’s [name_m]Case[/name_m] - and not Rhodey. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] and [name_u]Tanner[/name_u] always had a special bond as twins and noone can get through [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] 's stubborn nature as well as her brother.
[name_u]Tanner[/name_u] is a good listener and rather extroverted - can win every argument and has charms that frequently got him out of trouble when he was a child , even though is "smartass " nature frequently got him on the bad side of teachers , he was always one of the “cool guys” in school - especially when it got revealed that both he and his sister are saving money for their own motorcycles by pet sitting and mowing the lawn of neighbours. At 18 they both had the money for it and for example in this picture they’re shown in their motorcycle gear. Such a cool interest got them both a lot of popularity , even though [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] was more involved in the local community - also being the head of the school newspaper and kind of a teacher’s pet , while [name_u]Tanner[/name_u] was the ome to frequently skip school and go on “secret dates” with his girlfriend. While [name_u]Tanner[/name_u] eventually broke up with his significant other from high school - using moving out of state for university as an excuse , even though the girlfriend turned out to be completely shallow and unsupportive of his academic aspirations, so he was truly happy to break it off with her. He’s now a lone wolf who takes life seriously and looks forward to getting a master’s degree in Civil Enginering.
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] , on the other hand , is still with his highschool sweetheart and actually married him this year! Her friend from the school newspaper was her maid of honor and interestingly , [name_f]Petra[/name_f] became one of her bridesmaids after they got to know eachother better and discovered their mutual interest in fashion - something that [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] couldn’t be happier about. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] is currently majoring in journalism and lives with her husband - who is a year older than her. His parents bought him an apartament after the wedding because they come from old money and are very rich. As they said " It will be more useful for you two than an expensive honeymoon trip". Admittedly , they had their honeymoon desitnation in [name_u]Utah[/name_u], the home-state of [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] 's husband and visited the Arches National [name_u]Park[/name_u] which has over 2,000 natural sandsotne arches. This experience - full of fun memories, polaroid photos and romantic moments with her husband - led [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] to want to name her future child [name_u]Archer[/name_u] and become a mom - even though she knows completing her degree in Journalism might prove a lot more difficult when you have a child, she feels like already having a house and some kind of financial security allows them both to make that choice. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] is currently in the process of finding out if her future child might suffer from the same condition as [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] and [name_m]Case[/name_m] - if the anwser is “yes” , she and her husband decided to opt for adopting a child from foster care instaed.
