SEBASTIAN THIBODEAU’S FAMILY.
Where was your muse born?
Bash was born Sebastian James Thibodeau in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Were they the first born, middle or youngest? Are they an only child? Adopted?
Sebastian is an only child, as his parents weren’t exactly up to the task of parenthood or the responsibility entailed.
Does your muse have a favorite memory with their family?
Bash was, in essence, raised by his paternal grandmother. He and his grandmother spent a great deal of time together, particularly in her green house, which had a great deal of exotic flowers. He loved to spend time with her there, often losing track of the hours as they chatted and tended to the plants.
Does your muse get along with their family? What is the family dynamic?
Bash has a very strained relationship with his parents, particularly because they weren’t exactly parents. Both of his parents worked in the foreign service, and spent much of his life abroad, with him constantly being plucked from one country to another and then subsequently being sent back to live with his grandparents in Toronto. As an adult, they’ll speak on someone’s birthday or a holiday, but that’s the extent of it.
Does your muse have a favorite family member? Why?
His grandmother by far — she taught him of unconditional love and acceptance, and has always encouraged his dreams.
What are the names of your muse’s parents? Siblings?
Sebastian’s father is James Alexander Thibodeau, and his mother is Ronit Mofaz Thibodeau. His father is of English descent and a native-born Canadian, while his mother’s family was Mizrahi Jewish and she was raised for some years of her life in Cairo, Egypt. He was more-so raised by his paternal grandparents, though, whose names are William James Thibodeau and Emilia Jane Thibodeau.
Who does your muse take after more? Any habits?
Bash shares mannerisms of both of his parents, but in terms of his temperament and interests, he is likened more to his paternal grandfather. They both enjoy a good morning tea and to sit quietly and read the paper, a pastime they typically enjoy when he comes back to Toronto to visit them.

TASK 002: FINDING YOUR ROOTS
Where was your muse born?
Eureka, CA, born and raised, baby.
Were they the first born, middle or youngest? Are they an only child? Adopted?
Cyrus is the first born of the Nilsen clan, and has always taken that position very seriously. He’s the epitome of an older brother, mostly in the positive ways, but in a few instances, the negative ones as well. After him is his first sister Reina, followed by his two younger brothers Erik and Dustin respectively. And then the Nilsen family was rounded out by the little storm known as Mia, the child of Eli Nilsen’s best friend and his god daughter. After a fire took her father too soon, the Nilsen’s quickly changed her status from god-daughter to just daughter.
Does your muse have a favorite memory with their family?
Perhaps it’s cheesy to say, but Cyrus’ favorite memories with his family are just the small ones. A good family dinner where they fought over the uneven number of rolls, a Sunday spent cheering each other on at one of their numerous sports games. A Wednesday afternoon in the Summer spent in the backyard all together instead of flung off around town with their friends.
Does your muse get along with their family? What is the family dynamic?
The Nilsens are a tight knit group. Togetherness and unity was something stressed to them as children, the idea that family (blood or chosen) was one’s greatest strength. And while of course there were times when the kids fought, both a children and adults, their parents rule of never going to bed angry, was successful in keeping most fights sequestered to one day, rather than anything lengthy. Much to his dismay, after the death of their parents in quick succession, while Cyrus had hoped the family would pull together, they started to drift apart, and he hopes to remedy that.
Does your muse have a favorite family member? Why?
Does his son count? If so, then yes. If not, then no, he loves all his siblings and his parents for different reasons, but all the same amount.
Best family vacation? The worst?
The Nilsens are a family of habits, and every other summer they’d spend two weeks up in Orca’s Island in Washington. Never really went anywhere else, and while his siblings may have gotten tired of the same old scenery, Cyrus never did. So much so he continued the tradition with his own son.
What are the names of your muse’s parents? Siblings?
Eli Nilsen - Father
Cynthia Nilsen - Mother
Reina Nilson - Sister
Erik Nilsen -brother
Dustin Nilsen - brother
Mia Nilsen - sister
Who does your muse take after more? Any habits?
His nature is much more similar to his mother, but with his father’s strong influence, he tends to act more like him. A classic case of nature versus nurture. Eli was very purposeful in instilling his values, habits and morals into Cyrus, knowing that with his job, it was a very real possibility that one day Cyrus would be the ‘man of the house’.
Favorite and/or least favorite family traditions?
Favorite? Sunday night dinner. Least favorite: Waiting until Christmas night to open presents, rather than Christmas morning
Who has the weakest bladder on road trips?
Dustin.

TASK 002 ; THE GRAVES FAMILY —
henry leland graves — deceased. — colin firth
jo viviane graves ( nee; gallagher ) — sela ward
leland warner graves — ben barnes
owen henry graves — xavier samuel
INCLUDED PROMPT ;
Where was your muse born?
london, england.
Were they the first born, middle or youngest? Are they an only child? Adopted?
leland ( 36 ) is the first born, followed by his younger brother; owen ( 34 ).
Does your muse have a favorite memory with their family?
the most fond memories with his family had to be centred around their summers which typically included visiting his paternal grandparents ( who had relocated to france a few years after his birth ).
Does your muse get along with their family? What is the family dynamic?
the family dynamic was pretty healthy, to be honest. from what he can recall, his father was absolutely obsessed with their mother; always bringing home flowers, her favourite snack, or just verbalizing how much he cared about her. both of his parents were pretty easy going, extremely loving, and saw family time as the upmost importance. they supported their kids as best as they could, signed them up for any sport or interest that they had at the time, and talked to them normally; not emphasizing that they were children. both henry and jo both found it important that the kids had basic skills; from learning two languages, to knowing how to sew a button onto a pair of pants. their goal was to create to young men who were pretty well rounded, and well mannered.
the relationship between brothers is fairly cliché; moments of play, moments of fights. but over all, their relationship was pretty strong. they were essentially each others best friends growing up, especially once they moved ( only being a few years apart ). they made friends with similar friend groups, and owen would always sit in on leland’s band rehearsals in the garage.
as leland grew older, and once he moved away, his contact with his family slightly dimmed. he would see them for the important holidays, and they understood that he was busy between all of his commitments; but once his substance abuse became a true issue, the communication definitely lowered. as of recently, he has barely touched based, still being a little ashamed of what has transpired. he lets them know the most minimal details; how he is ( which is usually skewed in some way ), where he’s currently living, that sort of thing.
Does your muse have a favorite family member? Why?
it’s hard for him to place one above the other, since he adores them all for different reasons. but leland would say that both of his parents are stuck in that position. his father was a musician, and taught him piano at an early age. he was a very involved dad; always showing up for the kids as much as he possibly could, and making sure they got the attention they craved. but henry put his wife above all else, and that was a very important lesson for leland to watch.
with his mother, her resilience to continue on and support her family ( especially in trying times ), was always something leland respected. she put them first, made sure they were well looked after, and had everything they needed to live comfortably ( even if that meant sacrificing some time to take on extra responsibilities as work ).
Best family vacation? The worst?
the best vacation that the graves family ended up taking was probably their trip to disneyland paris. the boys had wanted to go for quite some time, and it actually was the last trip the family took together prior to their father passing away.
the worst had to be the one time they tried camping. it rained the whole weekend, and it was so bloody cold because of that, that they ended up packing up and going home a lot earlier than planned. leland still isn’t the biggest fan of camping.
Who does your muse take after more? Any habits?
if anything, leland strives to be half of the man his father was. his loyalty definitely comes from witnessing henry bend over backwards for anyone he considered dear to his heart. but even in a more detailed fashion, when he plays music— he stands like his father did, and he has the most concentrated expression upon his face while he plays.
additionally, his mother had a huge tendency to play with her hair, and leland definitely picked up on that one pretty quickly.
Favorite and/or least favorite family traditions?
as simplistic as it may be, one of leland’s favourite traditions was that every saturday morning there would always be a stack of freshly made pancakes. his mother made the best pancakes around, in his opinion— and he tries to keep up the with tradition still to this day.
his least favourite tradition would have to go to his mother insisting that owen and himself posed beside each other every year on their first day of school. leland just found it to be incredibly cringe-worthy, especially as he became a teenager.
Is there a family game night? What was the board game of choice? How did it go over?
game night wasn’t really a regular thing in their household; movie nights were more up their alley. but on the rare occasion that they did play, it was probably something like jenga.
Who has the weakest bladder on road trips?
his brother owen definitely takes the cake for that one; but mind you, his belief in that is purely based on trips taken as kids. though, leland will never let that go.

EVENT SIX: UNDERNEATH MOONLIT SKIES
It’s that time of the year - and this time the Lover’s Ball is taking to the seas. Join us at the Woodley Island Marina where the Eureka Yacht Club has been transformed into a romantic funfair for the singletons and those happily coupled up. Raise money by taking part in our speed dating sessions, cut a move on the dance floor, and enjoy those flowing glasses of champagne. Remember, it’s all for charity!
And, If it all gets a little loud, take a step outside and enjoy a moonlit boat trip. Thanks to the patronage of Madaket Cruise Line, there will be half hourly boat trips taking you and your lover out past Woodley Island and see the stunning Humboldt Bay at night. Whatever happens in the morning, its guaranteed to be a night to remember
LOCATION: Eureka Yacht Club
DATE: February 11th 2022
TIME: 7pm-1am
DRESS CODE: Cocktail Attire/Black Tie
HAPPY CUPIDS TIME LOVERS - it’s time to celebrate the season of love in the only way we know possible, with a silly elaborate event. Unlike our last Lover’s Ball, there will only be one official event, though you are more than welcome to have other threads that take place in other locations ( after party anyone? ). As always Eureka Moonlit Skies is NOT a mandatory event and will run from the 11th-20th February. Nor is any part of the event, if you want your muse to simply turn up a have a dance and not go on the boat ride or take part in the speed dating sessions, that’s totally fine, this is just a spring board to hopefully bring people together
Speaking of the speed dating aspect of this event - if you want to take part, please indicate your interest to the main by February 9th - along with the names of the muses you want to include. We will then randomise everyones names to ensure everyone gets a date, and the expectation will be that you will carry out a thread/interaction as part of the event. If your character is in a relationship, don’t feel left out - people can take part in the speed dating session simply to make new friends!
Please tag anything to do with the event with #eurekamoonlitskies - this can be anything; including threads, self paras and outfits. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with either of us and we’ll attempt to answer anything we can

TASK #005
FULL NAME: Leonardo Miguel Rojas
MEANING: Leonardo--Lion, brave // Miguel--Who is like God // Rojas--Redheaded, Ruddy
NICKNAME(S): Leo
PREFERRED NAME(S): Leo
BIRTH DATE: April 14th, 1995
AGE: 27
ZODIAC: Aries
GENDER: Cis Man
PRONOUNS: He/Him/His
ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: Demiromantic
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Questioning, used to call himself bisexual, but has started to question if some of that was some leftover compulsory heteronormativity, and is thinking he may actually be gay, or at least only attracted to a select few women
NATIONALITY: American
ETHNICITY: Venezuelan and White (Spanish)
CURRENT LOCATION: Downtown, Eureka, California
LIVING CONDITIONS: studio apartment, still in that awkward half furnished state that he has no excuse for because he’s been living in it too long. he could definitely afford something nicer on his salary, but has always been a frugal bitch.
TITLE(S): RN, working on getting that sweet sweet PA title
BACKGROUND
BIRTH PLACE: Caserma Ederle Military Base in Vicenza, Italy
HOMETOWN: does not have a hometown in the traditional sense, as he moved around so much as a child, but the closest thing he’s felt to a ‘hometown’ would be San Francisco
SOCIAL CLASS: Lower class. He’s recently gotten a raise after he let it be known to his employers he was studying to become a PA, but still is a nurse making fairly low pay as well as having to pay for schooling to become a Physician’s Assistant.
EDUCATION LEVEL: BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing), and is currently in a PA (Physician’s Assistant) program
FATHER: Gabríel Rojas. Despite Leo’s general flouting of authority, which drove his father absolutely crazy and ended in more fights than either of the two could count, they’re on good terms. Leo decided to move to Eureka to stay close to his aging parents.
MOTHER: Anny Rojas. Leo had always been a bit of a momma’s boy, if that wasn’t clear from the fact that he followed in her footsteps of becoming a nurse. Despite his love for his father, Leo always did feel more connected to his mother.
SIBLING(S): Andrea, Gabríel Jr, Claudia, and Ismael. All older than him, and all very important people in his life. The five of them often stuck together over socializing with other kids, knowing that they were just gonna be gone in a couple months at the least and a year or two at the most. Despite being the little brother to all, Leo always acted more like an elder sibling.
BIRTH ORDER: Andrea, Gabríel Jr, Claudia, Ismael and then Leo
CHILDREN: N/A
PET(S): Nah. He’s thought about adopting a dog, but he knows with his hours it wouldn’t really be fair to the animal. And then he’s thought of getting a cat, but figured with his current life style it would only come off as pathetic.
OTHER IMPORTANT RELATIVES: N/A
PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIPS: TBD
ARRESTS?: No
PRISON TIME?: No
OCCUPATION & INCOME
PRIMARY SOURCE OF INCOME: Charge Nurse at Bayview Medical
SECONDARY SOURCE OF INCOME: N/A
TERTIARY SOURCE(S) OF INCOME: N/A
APPROXIMATE AMOUNT PER YEAR: 70,000
CONTENT WITH THEIR JOB (OR LACK THERE OF)?: While Leo loves being a nurse, he could do without the duties of being the charge nurse, a job which he only took for the money so he could pay for continuing his schooling. It’s too much paperwork and scheduling and bureaucracy for him.
PAST JOB(S): He worked stupid little summer jobs whenever his family was in a place for long enough, but never had anything long term.
SPENDING HABITS: He’s as tight fisted as a Scottish drum, half of his clothes are things his family gave to him as gifts when they were annoyed with how often they’d have to beg him to get something that didn’t have holes worn into it.
MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION: Well most expensive he’d have to say his stupid degree in it’s stupid cheap frame.
SKILLS & ABILITIES
PHYSICAL STRENGTH: Fairly strong. He doesn’t really work out for the gains, but after years of having to transfer patients and do the other strenuous daily tasks of a nurse, he’s got some muscles
SPEED: he hates cardio, but always thought he was a speed over strength type of guy.
INTELLIGENCE: high, sometimes a bit too high for his own good. being a smart kid who was a bit precocious and eternally the ‘new kid’ made him a target sometimes.
ACCURACY: high, it’s needed in his line of work
AGILITY: medium
STAMINA: high
TEAMWORK: he should probably work on it tbh, as a lot of the work in nursing requires working along with fellow nurses and medical professionals
TALENTS: always seeing the worst in everything and everyone
SHORTCOMINGS: pathological pessimist, brash behavior, inability to connect
LANGUAGE(S) SPOKEN: spanish, english
DRIVE?: yes
JUMP-STAR A CAR?: yes

GLASSES/CONTACTS?: contacts

WEIGHT: 181 lbs
BUILD: lean
EXERCISE HABITS: leo gets most of his exercise from work, but usually tries to go to the gym about once a week for upkeep
SKIN TONE: tanned

PEIRCINGS: had his left earlobe pierced at one point, but has since let the hole close up
MARKS/SCARS: just the usual knicks and knocks picked up from being a latchkey kid

CLOTHING STYLE: fairly simple, when out of work: jeans, t-shirt, flannel, boots
JEWELRY: a cross that his mother gave him
ALLERGIES: N/A
BODY TEMPERATURE: runs cold
DIET: as a healthcare professional it should definitely be better, but he generally consists off of caffeine (in whatever form he can get it), whatever food is leftover in the break room or his fridge
PHYSICAL AILMENTS: N/A
PSYCHOLOGY
MORAL ALIGNMENT: chaotic neutral
ELEMENT: Wood
PRIMARY INTELLIGENCE TYPE: logical
MENTAL CONDITIONS/DISORDERS: N/A
SOCIABILITY: low, he’s not a fan of talking to people he doesn’t know, and even when he does know them, isn’t the most chatty and can come off a bit blunt and brash and harsh
EMOTIONAL STABILITY: high. leo’s constantly changing life throughout his childhood has given him the gift of being able to adapt to almost anything, and there is no pill too big for him to swallow.
ADDICTION(S): N/A
DRUG USE: N/A
ALCOHOL USE: Within normal limits, at most a couple drinks a week, but usually less.
PRONE TO VIOLENCE?: no
MANNERISMS
SPEECH STYLE: tends to be a fast speaker, more on the monotone side
ACCENT: he doesn’t consider himself to have one, simply because he’s lived so many places in his life it was hard to develop them, but he’s sure he has some regional bits and pieces
QUIRKS: constantly chewing sugar free gum, super good at advanced math but can’t do addition for shit, can only play clocks by coldplay on the piano and nothing else
HOBBIES: rowing, loves to watch movies, is considering picking up some sort of craft just for shits and giggles
HABITS: doodling on random bits of paper
NERVOUS TICKS: snaps his gum
POSITIVE TRAITS: family oriented, assertive, honest
NEGATIVE TRAITS: brash, nihilistic, callous
SENSE OF HUMOR: dry as the unseasoned chicken breast your mom made you last week
DO THEY CURSE OFTEN?: oh yeah
FAVORITES
ACTIVITY: working (gag)
ANIMAL: Goose
BEVERAGE: aperol spritz
BOOK: TBD, he believes its stupid to have a favorite book, because he’s had a ‘favorite’ only to go back and read it and find he hated it second time around
CELEBRITY: n/a
COLOR: orange
FOOD: Tajada
FLOWER: bird of paradise
HOLIDAY: N/A
MODE OF TRANSPORTATION: bike (local) ship (long distance)
MOVIE: TBD, holds the same opinion of movies as he does of books, plus as an avid watcher, there’d be too many to name anyways
MUSICAL ARTIST: The Eagles (much to his siblings distaste)
QUOTE/SAYING:
SCENERY: mesas, red rock formations, desert
SCENT: hot pavement
SPORT: gross
SPORTS TEAM: gross
TELEVISION SHOW: real housewives of beverly hills both ironically and unironically
WEATHER: he really loves a nice, dry heat. (think arizona, southern texas)

GREATEST FEAR: losing loved ones, which sucks, considering it’s an inevitable fact of life.
MOST AT EASE WHEN: he’s around his family, they’re the only people on the planet he doesn’t feel constantly annoyed by, and can be his true and entire self, prickly thorns included, but they get the petal more often than not
LEAST AT EASE WHEN: waiting for a trauma to roll into the ER
WORST POSSIBLE THING THAT COULD HAPPEN: losing his mother, which sucks because unless something horrible happens to him first, it’s not if, it’s when.
BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT: graduating college
BIGGEST REGRET: not trying to make more friends growing up, putting himself out there more
MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT: you need to sign a NDA first
BIGGEST SECRET: he’d tell you, but then he’d have to kill you.
TOP PRIORITIES: Work, family, work

EUREKA TASK 002 / FINDING YOUR ROOTS
Where was your muse born?
Annie was born in San Francisco, California.
Were they the first born, middle or youngest? Are they an only child? Adopted?
Annie was Mel and Ted’s first and only child.
Does your muse have a favorite memory with their family?
It’s trite to say all of them, but there are truly so many things that Annie holds dear that she never thought were anything special in the moment. Still, the thing she holds on to the most as an adult is the sight of her parents slow dancing in the living room to Ray Charles while she sat at the top of the steps.
Does your muse get along with their family? What is the family dynamic?
As the only child, Annie is extremely close with her immediate family--her parents. She largely has no relationship with her maternal grandparents, and her paternal grandparents she isn’t particularly close to, although she still sees them occasionally. She has aunts, uncles, and cousins on both sides she hardly sees but stays Facebook friends with.
Does your muse have a favorite family member? Why?
Annie will forever hold a space in her heart for the person that knew her first--her mom. She worried a lot after her mom’s passing that that would be hurtful to her dad, but if there’s anyone that understands that loss as well as she, it’s Ted.
Best family vacation? The worst?
The best family vacations were always road trips along the coast--Annie enjoyed San Diego the most, with the Monterey Aquarium coming in close second. The worst, by far, was the trip to Disneyland Ted and Mel attempted to take Annie on after Mel’s diagnosis. It...didn’t go well.
What are the names of your muse’s parents? Siblings?
Annie’s maternal grandparents are Emma and Gerald Clark, and her paternal grandparents are Yáng and Xioaming. Melinda had two sisters, Sophie and Rebecca, and Ted has one brother, Alan.
Who does your muse take after more? Any habits?
Annie would love to believe that she was Mel through and through, but the older she gets, the more she realizes she and Ted share a great deal in common--including their propensity for poorly managing their feelings.
Favorite and/or least favorite family traditions?
Annie’s favorite traditions were borne from her mother’s propensity for celebrating the most inane holidays, the one that no one even realizes exist-- think: National Coloring Book Day, National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, National Roller Coaster Day, etc. etc.--sporadically throughout the year. Her dad, for his part, enthusiastically played along. Her least favorite was always having to make the drive back to San Francisco to visit her grandparents, where, after breaking a vase, she was disallowed from touching anything in their house again.
Is there a family game night? What was the board game of choice? How did it go over?
No designated family game night, but they were avid board game players (particularly after Mel got sick and couldn’t do much else but hole up on the couch). Mel’sfavorite was Scrabble, Ted’s was Trivial Pursuit, and Annie’s was Scattegories.
Who has the weakest bladder on road trips?
Ted Lim, by a mile--the man drinks too much black coffee.

PAST JOB(S): Bar tender, Nanny, Waitress, TA
SPENDING HABITS: is pretty good at budgeting, but sometimes will have impulsive purchases that she should have thought twice about
MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION: marriage license, a corporeal thing that she can hold in her hands that is both a reminder of her love for Nate, but also that she put what she wanted first, for once, rather than what her parents expected of her. She had been worrying over what they’d do for their wedding, wanting something small and intimate, but knowing her parents would expect a large wedding. She had even been contemplating the idea of not inviting them, only to tell them they eloped or something later on.

HAIR TYPE/STYLE: Long and wavy, ombre’d
GLASSES/CONTACTS?: no
DOMINANT HAND: right
HEIGHT: 5′4
WEIGHT: 135 lbs
BUILD: short and curvy
EXERCISE HABITS: her work provides her with about 90% of the exercise she needs, the other 10% comes from walking the dogs, hiking, other outdoor activities. she’d rather die than step foot in a gym
SKIN TONE: tanned normally, but during the summer months gets even darker despite all her precautions to avoid sun damage, with her job it’s unavoidable, despite the 100 spf sunscreen
TATTOOS: oh yeah, but you only get to know the ones you can see, pervert
PEIRCINGS: both lobes, two cartilage piercings on left ear
MARKS/SCARS: burn from a fire on her right shoulder that creeps up the back of her neck, large one from a gash caused by a rock while pulling someone (cough cough her future husband) out of the water on her right forearm, surgical scar on her right collarbone after getting a plate and three screws in after breaking it
NOTABLE FEATURES: annoying perfect hair. the type of hair that looks good almost no matter what she does with it, can pull it out of a messy bun to have it cascade disgustingly prettily down her back.

CLOTHING STYLE: laid back, funky, a bit hippie-esque sometimes
JEWELRY: necklaces, rings and bracelets on the daily when she’s not working
ALLERGIES: sage
BODY TEMPERATURE: medium, but tends to get freezing toes during the winter, something she curses nate to deal with when she sticks her feet under his thighs when they’re on the couch
DIET: tries to stick to a more vegetarian diet simply for the ecological benefits, but will have meat on occasion (maybe once a week, sometimes more, sometimes less)
PHYSICAL AILMENTS: N/A
PSYCHOLOGY
MORAL ALIGNMENT: chaotic good
ELEMENT: fire
PRIMARY INTELLIGENCE TYPE: intra and inter personal
SOCIABILITY: high, charlie is a people person through and through, she could talk to just about anyone
EMOTIONAL STABILITY: medium. to be honest, she’s still recovering from the harm her parents unintentionally caused.
DRUG USE: extremely rarely, and only what one could consider ‘natural’
ALCOHOL USE: socially
PRONE TO VIOLENCE?: rarely
MANNERISMS
SPEECH STYLE: definitely has a touch of the millenial vocal fry, relaxed speech style, a bit musical in nature
ACCENT: none that she considers strong enough to call it an accent
QUIRKS: doesn’t like to wear shoes, won’t go anywhere without three hairbands on their wrist, likes to name inanimate objects
HOBBIES: pretty much anything nature related, travel, and as boring as it is, chatting with friends over any kind of beverage, and reading crappy romance novels, stargazing

NERVOUS TICKS: counting each of her fingers with her thumbs, chewing on her hoodie strings
DRIVES/MOTIVATIONS: used to be one thing: make her parents happy, but now it’s turned into the very simple: make herself happy.
