I have another story going right now called The Not-So-Tough Life.
Its about a group of girls who deal with tons of strange things happening in their town. Their school burns down, with no identifiable cause, and one of their friends becomes mysteriously sick.
I have a big story arc in mind for some of the cousins of the characters, but no names for them. I also need names for the parents and teachers (many of the characters have different ethnic backgrounds, keep that in mind).
My characters so far:
Elizabeth Anna Shen (15): The main character
James Thomas Shen (16): Elizabeth’s older brother
Jasmine Isabelle Shen (12): Elizabeth’s younger sister
Elizabeth, James, and Jasmine are half-Korean and half-Chinese American (based loosely off myself).
Natalya-Elena Ivanna Volkova (15): Elizabeth’s best friend
Aleksander Nikolai Volkova (17): Natalya’s older brother
Lena-Dinara Mariya Volkova (12): Natalya’s younger sister
Natalya, Aleksander, and Lena are Russian. Their dad’s name is Ivan Aleksandr, from which two of their names are based. I’d like the mom’s name to have some sort of connection to her daughters’ names.
Niari Grace Otieno (15): Elizabeth’s friend
Reuben Ogola Otieno (18): Niari’s older brother
Niari and Reuben are part Kenyan and part Nigerian.
Isabela Lucia Martinez (15): Elizabeth’s friend
Daniela Maria Martinez (19): Isabela’s older sister
Isabela and Daniela are part-Spanish and part-Mexican
Kylie Malinda Chang (15): Elizabeth’s friend
Nathan Thomas Chang (13): Kylie’s younger brother
Kylie and Nathan are Chinese
Lillian Taylor Robinson (15): Elizabeth’s friend
Gabrielle “Gabby” Marie Robinson (13): Lillian’s younger sister
Andrew Marcus Robinson (11): Lillian’s younger brother
Lillian, Gabby, and Andrew are Black/African American
Kaylee Alexandra Morris (14): Elizabeth’s friend
Helen Katherine Morris (15): Kaylee’s older sister, Elizabeth’s friend, and James’s girlfriend
Olivia Jane Morris (17): Kaylee’s oldest sister
Jacob Dean Morris (19): Kaylee’s older brother
They are white, with roots in England and Ireland
Any thoughts, comments, and suggestions would be welcome
Thank you in advance!
