Question from SwordSparks:

"Do you have any family?"

EVELYN:

"Yup~"

"My dad is an archeologist, my mom is a clothing designer and a yoga instructor, and my older sister works for a graphics company, but she does cartography as a hobby...seriously. She's actually really extroverted and a bit of a thrill seeker."

Fun fact, Evelyn is the first character I've drawn the entire family of. Yes, she gets this prestigious claim before any of my "main" OC's.

I was hoping to reach this piece soon, since I actually have quite a bit to divulge about these admittedly relatively minor OC's. 

Though that does mean that they might become more than just background characters since I have a lot to write about.

Faustin:

Evelyn's dad, a French born Quebec resident, is an archeologist by trade. He's also a full time classic "dad" dad. Bad jokes, wise advice, supportive and comforting aura, the works. Evelyn was admittedly the most terrified of telling him about her being trans, but he took it in stride. 

He's the main reason the family has those squared off spiral shaped trinkets on their outfits, he found them on an expedition and while they were being studied, were found to be relatively recent and designated as "junk." So he was allowed to take them home. 

I'm not spoiling what they do, but they ARE actually rather important~

Olympia:

Evelyn's mom is French Creole, from a marsh just outside of Baton Rouge. She and Faustin met during college, her parents sending her up to Quebec to find better opportunities. She was studying fashion design, and managed to graduate with the experience to open up her own little shop around the area where she designs her own outfits. It's decently popular, though she hopes to expand her business soon and is always on the hunt for new designs. On the side, she also teaches yoga. Personality wise, she's definitely the more energetic of Evelyn's parents, and was one of the first people she came to about being trans. She was fully on board from the start, and admittedly she sometimes goes a bit overboard in making her feel like a proper girl by using Evelyn as a pseudo model to test her new ideas. Evelyn doesn't mind TOO much.

Aurora:

Evelyn's older sister, who works for a company that specializes in graphic design and typographic logo's. Due to being the FIRST subject for her mom's obsessive fashion forward moments, she has an EXTENSIVE collection of outfits to choose from, and her beauty plus her sense of style means she's gotten a reputation around their hometown as the "popular girl who's way out of everyone's league". 

A stigma she admittedly hates, since it means people tend to be intimidated by her. In reality, she's a big dork and a genki girl at heart who loves adventure and exploring. Heck, one of her hobbies is cartography, and she has an innate sense of direction, mainly geographic. Evelyn is really the only other person who understands that her sister is actually quite the red oni as opposed to the blue oni that everyone sees her as, and thus is usually dragged into new adventures and expeditions with her. 

The fact that the family is 3 types of French is something I like to joke about, as Evelyn knows all 3 dialects and flips between them when speaking French with her family.
