🍰 ✿ create a family with a twist

Because we need more of this stuff.

[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_u]Olsen[/name_u] (19) is a Swedish-origin model who lives in Vancouver, BC- she moved to Vancouver only a year ago from Stockholm. She loves because her modeling contract required her to do so, and in a way she’s grateful because she gets the modeling opportunities but she really misses her parents and older brother, who’s 24 and married with a son and daughter of his own. [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] knows she’s nowhere close to being married- she only met her girlfriend a month ago. Her gf is another model for the same agency who was born and raised in [name_f]Canada[/name_f] and has only ever been abroad once- to the USA for her 18th birthday. However she knows that she wants to marry her current girlfriend someday, and settle down whether it be in Stockholm or Vancouver.

[name_f]Carlita[/name_f] [name_f]Rachael[/name_f] “Carli” Mendes (23) is a fellow up-and-coming model and friend of [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]. She is originally from [name_u]Brazil[/name_u]. She misses home but wouldn’t change the many opportunities her job affords her. [name_m]Constant[/name_m] traveling, extravagant parties, access to luxurious designer apparel- just to name a few!

[name_f]Carli[/name_f] loves to soak in the culture of the different places she goes to. She met her current fiancĂ©e while they were both working in Greece. He is from the USA, but Carli’s home has quickly become his “home base”.

[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] Castillo “Zeke” (22) is Carli’s FiancĂ© who saw her for the first time at a photo shoot in Greece and instantly fell in love. [name_u]Zeke[/name_u] never set out to be a model. He grew up in a large, biracial, and poor family in [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u] City, [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u]. When [name_u]Zeke[/name_u] was in high school he was approached by a recruiter to become a model. He didn’t care much for modeling, but he figured it was easy money so he gave it a shot. His career grew as highschool went on, but in the back of his mind he wanted to pursue his dream. Zeke’s true passion is photography, capturing the human struggle he experienced living in poverty his whole life. [name_u]Zeke[/name_u] was never confident enough to pursue a career in photography until he met [name_f]Carli[/name_f]. She encouraged him to follow his dreams and she was his muse. They are truly a match made in heaven.

[name_f]Elisheva[/name_f] [name_f]Opal[/name_f] “ [name_u]Eli[/name_u] “ Castillo (20) is the little sibling of [name_u]Zeke[/name_u] Castillo. [name_m]Even[/name_m] [name_u]Eli[/name_u] themself isn’t quite sure about their gender identity and teeters between she/they and they/she as she doesn’t quite know what she prefers- but her family will support her regardless. Like [name_u]Zeke[/name_u] and all the other members of their family, [name_u]Eli[/name_u] grew up in extreme poverty- she would often be wearing shirts that were three sizes too big for their body and her mother would feed the family on around 12 dollars a week- as a result [name_u]Eli[/name_u] got used to cutting their bread in triangles and is always picky about food, conserving it even though they don’t need to anymore. They sometimes joke that “growing up poor really messed me up” but sometimes [name_u]Eli[/name_u] thinks it’s not even a joke anymore. [name_u]Zeke[/name_u] and [name_u]Eli[/name_u] were among the older members of the their siblings, and some of their younger siblings are still living in the same trashy apartment that [name_u]Eli[/name_u] and [name_u]Zeke[/name_u] grew up in. Luckily, [name_u]Zeke[/name_u] and [name_u]Eli[/name_u] often help out and pitch in with finances.

[name_u]Eli[/name_u] still lives in [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u], [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u]- they don’t live with their family anymore, they live with their girlfriend and her many plants- her girlfriend is known to have an affinity for plants, and has a “witchy” aesthetic to her apartment which [name_u]Eli[/name_u] adores. [name_u]Eli[/name_u] tries not to be a burden and doesn’t eat much food despite their girlfriend urging them to eat more all the time, [name_u]Eli[/name_u] will always either refuse or just take a small bite. [name_u]Eli[/name_u] grew up always offering food to her younger siblings even if it meant losing some food of their own and they learned to dismiss the importance of food and nutrition- but [name_u]Eli[/name_u] is getting better about food and developing a healthy relationship with it, and their girlfriend is really proud of them for that.

[name_u]Eli[/name_u] isn’t a model, they’re an up-and-coming animator for a new cartoon. They’re also a character design worker, and [name_u]Eli[/name_u] feels really proud of her designs- the cartoon is about a magical world, so there’s lots of elves and goblins and mythical things which [name_u]Eli[/name_u] has always loved drawing. Her parents could never afford to buy them sketchbooks but in the sixth grade one day, a teacher decided to go out and buy [name_u]Eli[/name_u] a couple standard notebooks after they came to class empty handed, explaining that their parents couldn’t afford notebooks. The teacher felt a lot of pity for her and decided to get her a sparkly pink sketchbook along with the notebooks- [name_u]Eli[/name_u] never liked pink, but she didn’t have time to be bratty. She just accepted it and thanked the teacher, practicing their designs in the sketchbook 24/7. Soon enough, students and teachers noticed how talented they were. [name_u]Eli[/name_u] joined the school funded art club, and got involved in more extreme projects- which they found they really enjoyed. Now Eli’s thriving in the art world, has a wonderful girlfriend, and is out of poverty. She’s got close relationships with all her siblings, too. Her life is just how she envisioned it when she was younger- 99% perfect, maybe even 100%.

[name_f]Marpessa[/name_f] [name_f]Fanianne[/name_f] [name_m]Carney[/name_m] (21) is Eli’s girlfriend. Pea cares a great deal about [name_u]Eli[/name_u] & has said (more than once) that she feels like she has never felt so drawn to or close to anyone else in her entire life.

Pea’s mother taught her from a very young age that respect & love are the two most important virtues in life. She was raised not only to respect & love people, but Mother [name_u]Nature[/name_u] as well & that has remained a very important aspect in her life. Growing up she spent every [name_f]Spring[/name_f] planting herbs with her mother in their small garden & every [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] they would plant cosmos & pansies & kale. Herbs & such were essentials in her home as her mother was a strong believer in using herbal remedies & vegan cuisine. Pea is proud to be a plant mom & truly treats each of her plants like her children, though unlike most mothers she isn’t afraid to say she does have a favorite - her 8 y/o jade plant she named GiGi.

Pea is a thespian with special room in her heart for the works of [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m]. Last year she played [name_f]Lady[/name_f] [name_m]Macbeth[/name_m], one of her favorite rolls to date. The theatre is one of Pea’s many passions & she has considered making the move for Broadway, but isn’t sure it will be the right fit. She actually enjoys the cozy & comfortable feel of working for her local theatre. She has decided not to make any major decisions until she graduates college, which she will doing soon
with a degree in [name_f]Earth[/name_f] & Atmospheric [name_u]Science[/name_u] from [name_m]Cornell[/name_m] (she takes many classes online now that she lives in Brooklyn).

[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] “ [name_f]Vika[/name_f] “ Ruslanova (22) is a good friend of Pea and [name_u]Eli[/name_u], who’s also a thespian and is involved in local theatre plays. [name_f]Vika[/name_f] has been involved in community plays since she was four- though she didn’t always live in [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u]. She lived in Novosibirsk, [name_f]Russia[/name_f], until she was in the first grade and had to move to a small suburb in upstate [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u]- but Vika’s family faced judgement. Their house was covered in spray painted obscenities from disruptive teenagers. The second a brick came flying through their window, the Ruslanov family left the suburb completely. Also, Vika’s big brother was having problems at that school- a kid bullied [name_f]Vika[/name_f], her brother bit the kid’s arm, and he got suspended for a whole month. Vika’s family decided to move to somewhere more accepting- [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u], [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u], a perfect place to raise a family. The apartments were costly and there wasn’t enough space but at least they had some peace of mind, and there were no smart alecky suburban teens trying to annoy them.

When in the second grade, shy newcomer [name_f]Vika[/name_f] met Pea, the loner. Instead of playing on the playground like all the other kids, at recess Pea went behind a big oak tree. Nobody cared to see what she was doing except [name_f]Vika[/name_f], whose curious nature often gets the best of her. She found that Pea wasn’t just sitting in the dirt- she was using all her water from the water bottle to water some shriveled-up plants, who were flourishing and healthy by the next week. [name_f]Vika[/name_f] finally worked up the courage to introduce herself, and Pea welcomed her with open arms- the two were equally happy to have a new friend. Pea and [name_f]Vika[/name_f] tried out for acting camp together in fifth grade and both displayed outstanding talent, and were given lead roles immediately. In middle school, the two auditioned at the community theater and got two killed roles- Pea was [name_f]Annie[/name_f] and [name_f]Vika[/name_f] was Miss Hannigan. (I was actually in [name_f]Annie[/name_f] once! I was a kid in the sidelines who licked a lollipop.) The two began getting even more serious about theater, which Vika’s parents didn’t like.

Vika’s parents are more strict about their kids succeeding- [name_f]Vika[/name_f], her older brother, and her little brother and sister who were born after the family moved to [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u]. It’s not that they hate their children having passions, it’s that they care about them and want them to succeed in life no matter what- which is a pretty hard expectation to lead up to. [name_f]Vika[/name_f] tried to meet their demands in high school- in freshman year she threw acting out the window, adopted a more scholarly look and dedicated her whole life to studying- but when her parents saw how burnt out and unhappy she was, they practically forced [name_f]Vika[/name_f] to act again no matter what, and today they have the best relationship. Pea was thrilled when [name_f]Vika[/name_f] got back to acting.

Unlike Pea, [name_f]Vika[/name_f] didn’t major in [name_f]Earth[/name_f] and Atmospheric [name_u]Science[/name_u]- she majored in the Arts at the [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u] Film Academy, so she could be closer to her family and see them at least every two weeks- [name_f]Vika[/name_f] can’t imagine being away from her family from a month, and she’s had separation anxiety ever since she was a kid. Like Pea, she’s almost done with her college education. She’s very happy for Pea and [name_u]Eli[/name_u]- [name_f]Vika[/name_f] met [name_u]Eli[/name_u] through Pea and knows how lucky [name_u]Eli[/name_u] is to have her, and vice versa- she really ships it. [name_f]Vika[/name_f] used to have a crush on Pea through middle and high school, but she’s over it and realizes how silly it was. She now likes a boy who sits in front of her in some of her classes. [name_f]Vika[/name_f] has never had to deal with any biph0bes, and she’d like to keep it that way- mainly because she knows Pea and [name_u]Eli[/name_u] would slit their throats. Pea was the first person [name_f]Vika[/name_f] told she was bi, and she accepted it obviously. [name_f]Vika[/name_f] is trying to work up the courage to ask out the boy, but she’s really shy and having a hard time with it
luckily Pea, [name_u]Eli[/name_u] and Vika’s siblings, who are now 24(older brother), 14(little sister) and 12(little brother) are there to root for her and cheer her on.

[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_u]Carter[/name_u] (21) is a fellow theatre student at Vika’s college
and also happens to be her crush. [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] grew up in a small farm town in the middle of [name_u]Tennessee[/name_u]. Down south, no one understood I’d love of acting and not unlike [name_f]Vika[/name_f] he was bullied all through school.

[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] fell in love with theatre because of his grandma. Jonathan’s sweet grandma was an actress in Hollywood when she was young, taking on small rolls in theatre and movies. She showed [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] all the classic movie musicals and movies from her day, and he instantly fell in love with performance. He would sing the songs from movies like “Singing in the rain,” “Hello Dolly,” “Seven Brides for [name_u]Seven[/name_u] brothers,” ect. She would also read [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] to him to educate him on the classics. As [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] grew older, he pretty much spent all his time acting or with his grandma. He was far too talented to stay on the farm so when he got the opportunity to go to acting school in [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u], he couldn’t say no! Much to this dismay of Jonathan’s parents, [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] being their oldest son. Not long after [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] left, his grandma passed away. This devastated [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m], but he knew Grandma would want him to pursue his dreams, so he stayed in [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u].

[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] came to school majoring in musical theatre.
[name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u] was a major culture shock for him. He couldn’t understand the subway and the bustling city was a bit scary to him. School became his safe place. In one of his acting classes, he noticed a cute, shy, blonde girl. [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] wants to ask her out but because he was so bullied in high school he’s never been on a date, and at the age of 21 he finds it embarrassing. However Jonathan’s friends are trying to coach him so he can have to confidence to ask her on a date.

[name_f]Maggie[/name_f] [name_f]Hanako[/name_f] Takahashi (21) is a friend of [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_u]Carter[/name_u], who she met through college. Unlike [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] and [name_f]Vika[/name_f], [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] has lived in [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u] her entire life. She doesn’t know [name_f]Vika[/name_f] too well but the two are still friends, and are in some classes together. [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] grew up putting on plays for her parents with her two little siblings, a brother and a sister. Each are one year apart and the other Takahashi siblings are at colleges in other states. Maggie’s straight, but she supports [name_f]Vika[/name_f] fully and hopes her and [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] get together- she knows they like each other but she doesn’t want to spoil the experience for either one of them so she just sits back and watch them flirt awkwardly- though she is trying to get [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] to come out of his shell and just ask [name_f]Vika[/name_f] out, though [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] is being stubborn so it’s very hard.

Like [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m], [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] is also interested in someone- Vika’s big brother. [name_f]Vika[/name_f] has told her that he’s a walking red flag (jokingly of course, he’s actually a great person) but [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] just ignores her. [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] is too shy to ask him for his number, unfortunately. Whenever she sees him she’s a flustered mess, and she always plays with her hair and tries to distract herself whenever he walks in as she desperately doesn’t want to embarrass herself. She’s told her brother and sister about this and they say to go for it, and they tell [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] to be herself- but it’s easier said than done.

[name_f]Maggie[/name_f] loves acting in all its forms- when she was thirteen years old, she got into cosplay- she even wore cosplay to school one time. Everyone made fun of her and mocked her but [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] just ignored them, trying to immerse herself in her character- but the second she got home she cried. But her family told her that being herself was nothing to be ashamed of, which made her awkward cosplay phase a lot easier- [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] still sometimes does cosplay things. But she’s really more into acting- [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] has briefly met Pea and the two really clicked, [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] loved [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] and all the other blooming plants in Pea and Eli’s apartment. When [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] gets out of college she wants to but w lot more plants, but for now she’s sticking to her one singular succulent, named [name_f]Sakura[/name_f].

Maksimilian Olexei Ruslanova “Maks” (24) is Vika’s big brother and Maggie’s crush. [name_m]Maks[/name_m] doesn’t enjoy acting like his little sister, but he visit’s her often at school so he can take her out for coffee or do other fun things, seeing as they are incredibly close. [name_m]Maks[/name_m] is a intern for the [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u] Times and hopes to become a journalist. [name_m]Maks[/name_m] has been writing stories since he was very young and is a major book worm. He started a school newspaper in middle school and was chief editor of the school newspaper in high school as well as the president of the yearbook club. He has always been passionate about truth and politics and hopes to be an honest, objective voice in the journalistic world. In the mean time, when [name_m]Maks[/name_m] isn’t at his internship he is working at the local Starbucks in barns & noble. He hates Starbucks coffee (because he prefers tea much more anyways). [name_m]Maks[/name_m] lives with his best friend and 2 other roommates he had grown rather close to. His roommate recently got a cat, much to Maks’s distain seeing ad he hates animals, especially ones that shed. But that’s only because he likes to keep things clean an orderly. [name_f]Vika[/name_f] had told [name_m]Maks[/name_m] about Maggie’s crush on him, while [name_m]Maks[/name_m] is flattered, he isn’t very interested. [name_m]Maks[/name_m] is far too focused on his career to date at the moment (And he’s not really over his ExGF who he proposed to a year ago). [name_m]Maks[/name_m] is really just trying to figure himself out.

[name_f]Mya[/name_f] [name_f]Lune[/name_f] (10) lives in an apartment near [name_f]Vika[/name_f] and [name_m]Maks[/name_m], and [name_m]Maks[/name_m] babysits her often, although she probably doesn’t need babysitting at this point. [name_f]Mya[/name_f] is an aspiring astronaut, and can name 20 constellations. She attends a STEM school in [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]Jersey[/name_u], and as such has become an expert at riding the subway by herself. She is independent, but has some close friends at school. [name_f]Mya[/name_f] is also interested in journalism, which she bonded with [name_m]Maks[/name_m] over. She writes a weekly column for the school newspaper, about outer space, of course, and demonstrates good descriptive skills, although her dyslexic ten-year-old grammar can get clunky. [name_f]Mya[/name_f] has lived in [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u] for all of her life, although she lived outside of the city until she was five. Her family is very loving and supportive, but they can be overprotective-- it took some serious finagling for them to let her attend her current school once they learned about the long commute. [name_f]Mya[/name_f] considers it to be worth it, though, since the past two years of school have been the best of her life, especially since the bullying at her old school for being a teacher’s pet is highly unlikely to occur at a school full of smart kids who love learning, like [name_f]Mya[/name_f].

[name_f]Anya[/name_f] actually has an interest too- painting. [name_f]Anya[/name_f] makes abstract paintings, and [name_f]Mya[/name_f] loves them. [name_f]Anya[/name_f] hates when people complement her art because in her eyes “they’re probably lying,” but they really aren’t. [name_f]Anya[/name_f] is just really insecure about that kind of stuff.

[name_f]Anya[/name_f] and her friends are part of an art club, they’re the artsy kids in school and they like that label. Lately, whenever [name_f]Anya[/name_f] walks downstairs and goes to art club, she’s been noticing this girl who she thinks is really cute. [name_f]Anya[/name_f] hasn’t quite figured herself out yet- she always just forced herself to have crushes on men to seem more “normal” and less like “an imposter” to her friends but in reality she doesn’t really love boys and she’s known this for a while now- but she’s still not comfortable with coming out to her parents
maybe when she starts talking to this girl she’ll change her mind, though?

The awkward part is her older half-sister is Maks’s ex-girlfriend, which [name_f]Anya[/name_f] isn’t aware of. Rue’s older half-sister isn’t a bad person and neither is [name_m]Maks[/name_m], but they’re not each other’s types and don’t want to communicate, especially how their relationship had a failed proposal. [name_u]Rue[/name_u] doesn’t know much about their broken relationship but can’t help but wonder why her half-sister didn’t accept the proposal. Did she not truly love him? Was her heart somewhere else? Did she just simply not want to be married? Deep down, [name_u]Rue[/name_u] thought her older half-sister and [name_m]Maks[/name_m] were perfect together but she’s respected their space and doesn’t want to pry into why it happened.

Despite the awkward drama, she and [name_f]Anya[/name_f] are getting closer together. It helps her get her mind off it and makes her appreciate art more with great people like [name_f]Anya[/name_f].

Some of her friends in the art club are into STEM while some are not but they’re all great buddies regardless.

[name_f]Andie[/name_f] and [name_m]Maks[/name_m] were madly in love from high school up until recently- [name_f]Andie[/name_f] broke it off after the failed proposal because she just knew she wasn’t ready to be tied down and only loved [name_m]Maks[/name_m] as a good friend. Now, she’s dating someone again- a girl, who’s been living with her for some time now, but she hasn’t told [name_m]Maks[/name_m] because she doesn’t want him to take it badly.

Warning for alcoholic family member and deaths by drunk driving.

[name_f]Lua[/name_f] [name_f]Gisele[/name_f] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] (23) is Andie’s girlfriend and co-worker. She’s of Brasilian descent and loves Brasilian steak. Her mother was born in [name_f]Brasilia[/name_f] while her father was born in São [name_m]Paulo[/name_m]. Her paternal uncle also emigrated from [name_u]Brazil[/name_u] but [name_f]Lua[/name_f] has never been too comfortable with him given his alcoholism and impulsive behavior. She’s not talked about him since his death due to his own drunk driving: He ran a red light while drunk, fatally ran over a pedestrian in the crosswalk, kept going, and fatally crashed into a lamppost. She does wish it didn’t have to end this way but can’t get past the fact her uncle took an innocent life. She and her siblings have since bonded closer with their cousin from their late paternal uncle and can’t imagine what it’s like to live with an alcoholic parent and see someone who loves their family slowly turn to alcohol over them. [name_f]Lua[/name_f] loves reading and finds it a very liberating pastime for many years. [name_f]Lua[/name_f] has been in a secret relationship before, but that was way back when she was 10 and had a puppy-love romance with another 10-year-old girl in her school, in which they “broke up” after [name_f]Lua[/name_f] accidentally told the secret. Now at 23, this is real love and she’ll never overstep boundaries this time. [name_f]Lua[/name_f] doesn’t know about [name_m]Maks[/name_m] but knows he is a special part of Andie’s life and she would never want to ruin one of Andie’s good bonds.

Unlike [name_f]Lua[/name_f], she lives in Vancouver with [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] and [name_f]Carli[/name_f], who she’s close with due to them both being Brazilian and in the modeling industry. [name_f]Bella[/name_f] resents her father for all the terrible things he did, but tries to block him out of mind at all times. She didn’t originally want to move to [name_f]Canada[/name_f] because it was so far away from [name_f]Lua[/name_f] and all the rest of her cousins, but when she met [name_f]Carli[/name_f] at a photo shoot she instantly changed her mind- [name_f]Carli[/name_f] was funny, energetic and the two made quick friends. [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] also likes spending time with [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]. They’re all roommates now, along with Astrid’s girlfriend, another friend of [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]. [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] is currently in a relationship someone- her fiancĂ©, a guy she met at a photoshoot. [name_f]Bella[/name_f], quite embarrassingly, tripped over a rock- she’s clumsy and often does things like that- and he caught her. The two have a young daughter, and are going to get married in [name_u]March[/name_u].

Kendra Mayandra [left] and Caesar Ray [right] Garrison (24) are twins with Caesar being Bella’s fiancĂ©. Kendra is good friends with the models since she’s one too and loves the vibe of artsy models. Caesar and Kendra have both been to college and Kendra is currently studying cosmetology but the two don’t care whether someone has or hasn’t gone to college. Both of them came from conservative grandparents on both sides of the family who pressured their parents into marrying when their mother was pregnant with them as they didn’t support babies before marriage. The wedding planning was hastily planned with their maternal grandmother forcing their mother to wear her old wedding dress even though their mother hated it and found it too old-fashioned to pull off. At the wedding, they shockingly didn’t actually marry when the twins’ mother said “I don’t”. It was scandalous but she defended her decision saying marriage was not her decision so agreeing to spend the rest of her life with him was not something she’d honestly do.

The twins took their mother’s surname but they’re still close to their father, who chose to co-parent without marriage. They have no contact with either set of grandparents and truthfully know nothing about them but don’t care. Both parents are supportive of Caesar and Bella’s relationship and don’t mind that he’s had a daughter before marriage. Kendra doesn’t mind either although she’s anti-marriage and never wants to be tied down to someone forever. She says, “I don’t need marriage to define me. And you know what? I have no kids but I’ve done ‘it’ before and y’all can’t tell me it’s premarital since there’s never going to be any marriage.“ Ultimately she supports Bella and Caesar marrying anyway since it’s their own life and own choices. Kendra may seem rather outspoken while Caesar is more calm but their yin/yang complements each other and they love being around and talking to one another.
