[name_m]Cordian[/name_m] [name_m]Eros[/name_m] Hennigan [ 14 ] is [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] 's and [name_f]Vida[/name_f] 's son, well into his cringy anime phase. His first name means " heart " and the other is after a Greek god of love because whilst giving birth to him [name_f]Vida[/name_f] was filled with the love hormone oxytocin and everything that came to her head that night - [name_m]Cordian[/name_m] was born at 2 AM in the morning - had to do with love , especially to [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] , who [name_f]Vida[/name_f] was convinced at the time would be the person she’ll marry and spend the rest of her life with. However, major character differences between the competitive [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] who was always wiling to debate and " never go to bed angry" while [name_f]Vida[/name_f] was a lot more low-key and didn’t mind solving arguments a day or two later - which , given her avoidance of conflict often turned into giving [name_m]Matt[/name_m] silent treatment - well, it all meant that [name_f]Vida[/name_f] and [name_m]Cordian[/name_m] 's relationship came crushing down.
[name_m]Cordian[/name_m] remembers a lot of his parent’s arguments growing up , as much as [name_f]Vida[/name_f] tries to shield him from it. This made anime , manga and drawing in the style of Japanese animation his escape route for as long as he can remember. He finds it draining how his paternal grandparents still hold onto the relationship with his mother and him not for the reason of love , but wanting to gain clout and notoriety from the Bannermore surname. He hopes that [name_f]Vida[/name_f] and her female partner won’t plan a baby together, or probably his paternal grandparents would act like they’re the grandparents of the half-sibling too just because they’re a Bannermore.
[name_m]Cordian[/name_m] tries to steer clear of her mother’s new partner , ever since he heard her call him an " immature baby" for his interest in manga and anime. Along with the youngest Sobota brother - who’s just turned 14 a few days ago - [name_m]Cordian[/name_m] a member of the school’s anime club and one of the " otaku kids " there. He appreciates his mother for driving him every week to Japanese classes in town and for enthusiastically listening when [name_f]Vida[/name_f] tells him about the clubs projects. [name_m]Cordian[/name_m] in turn goes with [name_f]Vida[/name_f] to art galleries , although he isn’t sure if his mother tries to figure out a way to get rich independently of her father by becoming an art collector or is just looking at the art because she likes it. He knows that [name_f]Vida[/name_f] ‘s partner would rather she does the former , as she says " That’s what all the old money families do". His reputation at school as the " anime nerd" greatly overshadows any " rich kid " stereotype that [name_m]Cordian[/name_m] could have attached to him , especially because his dad [name_m]Matt[/name_m] works at the same school where [name_m]Cordian[/name_m] learns and everyone can see that Matt’ s just a regular guy. He tries to be involved in the lives of [name_f]Marley[/name_f] and [name_m]Chase[/name_m] , although he admits that [name_m]Matt[/name_m] 's new wife has an intimidating quality and is restrictive in terms of how much screen time [name_f]Marley[/name_f] and [name_m]Chase[/name_m] get , so [name_m]Cordian[/name_m] can’t really show them all the Pokemon videos that he would like to. Recently though , [name_m]Cordian[/name_m] and [name_m]Matt[/name_m] 's wife gained more understanding between each other becoming worried about [name_m]Matt[/name_m] focusing on his guy friends very much and becoming emotionally unavailable to almost everyone but the twins.
[name_m]Cordian[/name_m] tries to stay out of the family drama by being active in his Japanase classes and anime club as well as hanging out with the Sobota siblings - whom he plans to introduce to his newest girlfriend of two months - [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] , the 14-year-old sister of the popular podcaster , [name_f]Suzette[/name_f] [name_f]Bizou[/name_f] , who recently quit her podcast after everyone figured out that the 4 podcasters were talking about [name_m]Beau[/name_m] Jeong and decided to support him by giving him a chance after all when the hate started pouring in for [name_m]Beau[/name_m]. At the same time when [name_f]Suzette[/name_f] quit the podcast crew , [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] quit her secret band which disbanded due to personality differences. Joining the anime club instaed gave [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] some emotional support after an extended period of sadness following the disbandment. Through Discord gaming and club meetings , [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] and [name_m]Cordian[/name_m] got a lot closer and decided to become a couple to forget about the drama in their family lives.
