#opal the first class car

[wonderful-magician]

The rest of the coaches !! ^^

I didn't include belle, Tassita, or any of the components. They'll be in different posts lol

I decided to separate Opal from Pearl because I think she's cute, and I do much prefer pearls pink design and more voluminous hair. But I still wanted opal around. So she's pearls cousin/sister and is considered a observatory window observation car, while pearl is a open balcony.

( Opal is heavily inspired by Pearls on ice design. I just liked the see through details sm )

Duvay, Carrie and Brandi all being yellow/brown is a bit disappointing but I wanted to keep their color schemes the same. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

( oh also I'm calling her Brandi the bar car because two Belles is confusing !! )

Opal!

I know I KNOW her costume is shades of silver but I REFUSE

The spotted stuff on her is supposed to be sparkly, like on the hem of her dress and the tinsel in her hair

Favorite Costume

Las Vegas and pre 2018 Bochum costumes

Prusty

Opal loves ballet, she's also quite skilled at it

Pearl loves strawberry flavored...anything.

Unpopular Opinion

My characterization of Pearl is just the same, someone who was naive and gave into peer pressure. But additionally, she wants to be adventurous and go for what she wants, but doesn't look before she leaps due to inexperience and ignorance.

Opal:

Favorite Actor: Georgina Hagen

Favorite songs/Scenes: That one scene where Rusty is like “Ready to race with the fastest engine?” and she’s like “Yuh, where is he???”

Can

Can I ask about Opal Body please?

Opal is on the shorter side! 163 cm, 5'3 ft!

More curvy and a little chubby, I see her a lot with Hollie's bodytype. Wide hips and big breasts. Her face is round and heartshaped, small feet and hands, very soft looking :) Shoulders are slim and rounder, pearshape with a bit of hourglass

StEx Appreciation Month 2023!

Day 2: Pearl & Opal!!!

Our beloved coaches!!! Opal and Pearl are half-sisters, and therefore their style is pretty similiar; they also have a white dress, but while Pearl is more pink, Opal has a gold/champagne/light yellow palette. Neverthless, both are SUPER SPARKLY and SUPER CLASSY!!!

Favorite Actor: Reva Rice, Lovette George, Katie Stewart

Favorite Song/Scene: He’ll Whistle at Me, Pearl Twirl

Favorite Costume: Pink candy floss wig, early Vegas costume or pre-2018 Bochum costume

Favorite Ship: Prusty, but also Pearl/Dinah is very fun

Headcanon: At one point, everything she owned was pink, like walking into Barbie’s room

Unpopular Opinion: Uhhh, I interpret Pearl as being trans rather than newly built, so I don’t think she’s dumb or naive in any sense, just caught up in all the sudden attention.

OPAL

Favorite Actor: Hollie Aires, Emilie du Leslay

Favorite Song/Scene: Her solo in Ich Bin Ich, Für Immer

Favorite Costume: The current one, it looks like they’ve made a few changes to where the skirt doesn’t look as baggy, and the wig is longer in length now as well!

Favorite Ship: Opal/Rusty, they are quite sweet in the update <3

Headcanon: Once she thought she cost Rusty the race, she was considering leaving the yard all together, too ashamed to face him again (but he found her and it’s all okay :)

Unpopular Opinion: I don’t know if I have anything super unpopular other than I love the costume and think the gold accents work really nicely

palentines day | tamarack & qiu

𓆉 | fandom: our life: now & forever

𓆉 | characters: tamarack baumann, qiu lin, reader

𓆉 | word count: 1,384 words (7,332 characters)

𓆉 | a/n: please. i need someone to tell me if this is wayyyyy too ooc. but anyways enjoy my first ol2 fic??? HAPPY VALENTINES DAY LOVES

"y/n, if you and your friends want a ride so you can carry all your stuff, we need to go now!" opal yelled from the front door, putting on her boots and adjusting her scarf. she was starting work a little later due to the special occasion in her child's life.

valentine's day, a day that happened every february 14th, once every three hundred sixty-five days, and y/n loved it. ever since they learned about the special day, giving gifts to the people you love, sharing kindness, and getting/giving chocolates, y/n had been in love with the day.

y/n glided down the stairs, with their backpack, and two big bags filled to the brim with gifts to give, and stopped right in front of their mom. "sorry mom, i was just finishing up my last one. it's really special!"

y/n said, while opal collected the bags from them to let them put on their jacket and boots. opal chuckled, feeling a little confused at the statement, since they stayed up an hour past y/n's usual bedtime to finish all the valentine gifts for their class and friends outside of class.

"y/n, i thought we finished them last night?" opal said, opening the front door and letting y/n walk ahead of her.

"um… yes, no, maybe so?"

"and what's that supposed to mean?"

"i can't tell you! no more asking mom, ok?" y/n said with a smile, before jumping off the porch, instead of using the stairs. opal could just weakly sigh as she locked the door and got everything situated in the car.

"ok y/n i won't ask anymore but, could you go get the other members of the trio? i called their parents last night, so it shouldn't be an issue. you got that trooper?"

y/n nodded and ran off to qiu's house, ringing the doorbell, collecting their friend, and bringing the stuff to the car, before doing the same thing with tamarack. once the trio was by the car, and all their stuff was in the trunk, opal dusted herself off and smiled.

"good morning you two, i hope you guys didn't stay up too late making all of these!" she teased, opening the back door for the kids to go in.

"good morning mrs. l/n! i finished mine a while ago since i have a lot of people to give treats to." qiu replied with a cheeky smile. he looked at tamarack and y/n before whispering, "i have something special for you guys, don't worry."

tamarack smiled widely, holding the seatbelt that went in front of her chest and waist. "i made some stuff for you guys too! and you too y/n's mom! oh, but i have to give it to you after school."

opal looked at the rearview mirror and smiled at tamarack before pulling out of the driveway. "thank you, i don't mind waiting so it's all fine. i hope you made stuff for your grandparents as well?"

tamarack nodded before pulling them all into a different conversation about what she found in the woods last night. opal took no offence from the switch, knowing this is how kids were and drove to school while the kids talked in the back. opal thought to herself on the ride there, happy that her child had friends that made them feel so comferable in this new place. they had been in golden grove for a little bit over six months, and y/n had settled in nicely, which was music to her ears. as she pulled up to the school and parked in the parking lock, she looked back at the kids.

"ok, you three! let's get this in your class, alright?"

she got out of the car, while the three kids met her at the trunk and started taking out their things. opal smiled and helped them by bringing in some of the larger things since she could practically see the energy radiating off the three kids, even if qiu disguised it better than the other two.

once they got inside the classroom, and opal said goodbye to the energetic trio, y/n excitedly took off their outside clothes, bringing all the gifts to their desk. this was business to y/n, and the quicker everyone got settled, the quicker the valentine's exchange could happen.

after mrs. murray got everyone settled and did roll call, she set rules up for the valentine exchange. everyone had the paper bags they made the day prior on their desks, decorated and bedazzled to their choosing, and the valentine goodies ready to be handed out by them. mrs. murray played some music and the giving began.

as mrs. murray sat at her desk, some kids would put things on her desk, either being bold about it or sneaky. it was cute to see the kids acting like kids. tamarack had some things for everyone, little drawings of things from the forest, like a pretty leaf she saw that reminded her of a certain classmate, or an acorn she picked up once. everyone got some candies from her as well.

when it was time for her to drop things off in qiu's bag, it was already overflowing. this was expected though, since qiu was pretty popular. the trio had talked about it in the car, all three of them agreeing that he was going to get the most out of them. tamarack tucked the card, candies, and pretty stones she found, in his desk, then turned to go put things in other people's bags.

y/n had worked hard to get something for everyone, secretly making a little bit more for their two best friends, and their new favourite teacher. they even had some for their uncle yusuf, granny and gramps, and mr. and mrs. lin. this was serious business for them. their valentine's gift for their mom was hidden underneath their bed, which they would give to their mom at dinner after she came back from work.

qiu on the other hand was putting things in everyone's paper bags except tamarack and y/n's. he had a 'better' gift for them since they were his close friends, and didn't want to make anyone jealous. he slipped to their desks and hid the presents in their backpacks, making a mental note to write down in his notebook that he needed to tell them where it was.

the gift exchange lasted a few more minutes, and mrs. murray surprised the class with cupcakes and cookies.

since y/n, tamarack, and qiu all got different cookies, they each split the cookies three ways and gave each other a piece of their own so they could all share. due to it being valentine's day, they were allowed to sit anywhere they wanted for the rest of the school day since they were only going to be eating snacks and watching movies. qiu sat on the left of y/n while tamarack sat on the right, letting the music play as the kids were talking about what they got.

"so, how was your first valentine's here? did it live up to your expectations?" qiu asked the two, licking his lips from the frosting, after y/n signalled to it.

"it was fun! i hope everyone liked me and the forest's gifts! i worked really hard on them!" tamarack said, kicking her feet while leaning back on the chair.

"it's not over for me! i still have a bunch of gifts to hand out! me and mom are going to the diner table tonight to drop off uncle's gift! mom called him and asked if he was working tonight, so its perfect! if we decide to have dinner there, do you guys want to come?" y/n rambled, taking a breath after they were finished.

"yes! i wanna go!" tamarack exclaimed, earning a chuckle from qiu.

"sure, if your mom lets us, then i would like to come too!"

"great, i'll try my hardest to convince her, and ill try convincing your parents qiu, and your grandparents tamarack! we can do this!"

qiu chuckled. "i thought you said i was scatterbrained! it's not even confirmed that you guys are going there to eat."

"…oh yeah."

weekly tag wednesday

tagged by: @samantitheos and @mybrainismelted

Weekly Tag Wednesday - Firsts!

Name: Lem

Age: 32

First Pet? We had an array of different dogs and animals before, but the one I remember solidly as the first one with a name that was there longer than a month was a black pug, her official name was Julianna Opal, why? We got Juliana from the movie Quest for Camelot, and Opal was my brother and dad's birthstone. But her name that stuck was Ding based on the dinging her tags made on her food bowl.

First Word? I think to my mother's dismay it was dada. BUT mom tells this good story about the first time I said fuck. I was about three and she was heavily pregnant with my brother, we were playing with barbies on the floor and i just casually slip a "fuck" between whatever barbie babble I was doing, She calmly asks ("I knew I had to be calm because you were three and if I made a scene you'd say fuck everywhere knowing it was bad because you were a little shit") "where did you hear that word honey?" Thinking I'd say my dad. my reply? "From yooooou"

First Celebrity Crush? oh hell, the only one coming to mind is Adrien Brody, which I know was in middle school because I would print pictures of him off in the school library and keep them in a special folder to look at through the day when class was lame. (no shame)

First IRL Crush? His name was Tommy, starting at least in kindergarten to when he moved in third grade. He promised me a kiss once we both turned 18 too, which he never fulfilled.

First kiss? His name was Marty, we hid in the big tunnel on the playground in first grade and the entire memory is blurry, but I remember that little kiss. Now first KIIIIISS i was 16 and we were watching Tarzan at my house and he just leaned over and kissed me during the opening song, before Tarzan's parents died.

First Car? fuuuuck I loved that thing. a 1991 grand marquis mercury. BEST BOAT ever

First apartment/house/dorm/whatever away from your parents? I moved in with my best friend (still my best friend) and my boyfriend at the time, into a trailer, three bed two bath, big ass kitchen, I loved the shower/bath it was huuuge.

First time on a plane? Never been on one.

First cellphone? a tracfone

First concert? Fallout Boy right before the pandemic.

First Foreign country you visited? Never been to one.

First sport you ever played? soccer when I was four or five.

First career aspiration? National Geographic photographer

And finally… tell me about the first time you wrote/drew/created/whatever something that made you think "wow". Middle School, wrote a four composition book length book about a girl who fell in love with a werewolf then got kidnapped by the evil werewolf creator and taken to his evil castle in the artic, where she started learning spells and when her beloved came to rescue her she helped kick ass.

Cringingly i tried to read through it and edit it a few years ago and I was APPALLED that I ASKED my 7th grade english teacher to read it and edit my grammar and spelling.

I swear to fuck she and the other teachers must have had discussions about it because they ALL made some comment about my book here and there and asked to be mentioned when I published my first one.

THERE WERE MAKEOUT SCENES

THERE WAS DISNEY SONG INSERTS

SHE THOUGHT JCPENNY WAS A HIGH END FASHION STORE

THE MALE LOVE INTEREST (THE WEREWOLF) HAD NEVER HAD MCDONALDS IN HIS TWENTIES AND SHE INTRODUCED IT TO HIM LIKE IT WAS AMBROSIA AND HONEY

god the flashbacks

I'll tag @witchboywitchboywitchboy @suzy-queued @ian-galagher

StEx in real life Part 3: Coaches 2

Still a few coaches left to discuss

Duvay: GWR sleeping car

The chocolate and cream livery fits her design very nicely. My headcanon is Duvay was brought in to replace the retired Memphis Belle at the first class car on the sleeper train, so this coach fits.

Opal/2018 Pearl: Closed dome observation car

So even after her redesign, Pearl is still a 1st class car but the "observation" aspect of her classification is left more ambiguous. However, her kokoshnik headpiece reminds me of a dome.

Tassita: Amtrak quiet car

Belle: Amtrak sleeping car

Whilst several railway companies have quiet cars, Amtrak's is probably one of the more well-known.

2nd and 3rd Class Sleepers/Vera and Lina: LMS sleeping cars

Given that she and Tassita are quite close, I imagine they came from the same original company, making Belle an Amtrak sleeper.

These two are simply based on vibes. LMS is one of the Big Four, big part of British railway culture, having the sleepers exclusive to the London show fits that. Although I do think these two have been modified to couchettes, allowing for daytime use as chair cars.

Asami's car screeched to a hault outside of the local gym. She flung open the door and sprinted inside leaving her driver gaping after her.

"Where is she"? Asami asked anxiously to Kya who was waiting for her on the other side of the gym's turnstile.

"She's in the staff room with Opal, come on honey" the first aider said calmly, as she lead the way.

Once there, Asami took a deep breath before she pushed open the door and went in.

Korra was a mess.

The Autistic woman was curled up in the corner of the room, tapping the side of her head with her knuckles, whining loudly under her breath.

"Ow Sweetheart" Asami said sadly.

She desperately wanted to wrap her arms around her suffering girlfriend, but she knew that in her current state, it would only make Korra worst.

"We waited for you Asami, we tried to help, but she just screamed at us" Bolin explained, feeling guilty.

"It's alright Bo, she's just having an autistic burn out. Who knows Korra's locker combination"? Asami asked, looking around at their friends.

"I do" Kuvira spoke up.

"Okay, go into her locker, and bring me her blue backpack. Only the blue one".

Kuvira nodded and soon returned with the bag.

"Okay, everyone just remain as quiet as possible, and give me some space" Asami said as she took the bag and slowly approached her girlfriend.

"Hey baby, it's Asami (whine) I'm just going to sit down with you okay? I thought we could talk".

Korra gave her the smallest of nods so she sat down.

"Okay, so I thought we could start with 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,".

- - - - - -

After the grounding technique, they also tried some deep breathing.

"Would you like to try DiDi now"? Asami asked gently.

"Yes" Korra said quietly, she was looking at the floor, aware of the room full of people.

"Alright, here we go" Asami said, rummaging in the backpack for Korra's weighted Dinosaur plush.

Asami placed the toy in Korra's arms, the room held it's breath as Korra snuggled back against the wall with her purple t-rex.

"That's better isn't it"? Korra hummed so Asami asked, "would you like to tell me what happened, it might help".

"Kya said that Mr Smith was my first client, but he's always at 3:42, always. It's Mr Tenzin, then Suyin, then I have my snack, then .....".

"I think I understand now, so your routine was messed up"? Asami asked gently.

Korra nodded, "that, and the music from the dance class was too loud, I asked Kuvira to turn it down, but she had strobe lighting and, I kinda freaked out".

Asami glanced over at Kuvira who looked guilty. "Sorry Kor, I didn't think anything of it, I didn't realise your schedule was changed, usually your down in the pool area when I'm doing Zumba".

"S'kay, not your fault" Korra mumbled, as she relaxed further into her toy's weight.

"I've spoken to Pema, and she said you can have the rest of the day off Korra" Kya said gently.

Korra nodded, "that sounds good".

"Alright, let's get you home" Asami smiled, as she rummaged in Korra's backpack and brought out a pair of noise cancelling headphones, she passed them to her. "I know the noise can get too much for you sometimes, maybe these will help".

Korra greatfully took the headphones and drowned out the world.

With a look of relief on her girlfriend's face Asami gently took her girlfriend's hand and guided her back outside to her waiting car.

"Thank-you everyone. That must have been hard for you to witness". Asami said after closing the door on Korra.

"She just, she just" Bolin tried.

"I know, but we got her through it, and that at the end of the day is all that matters" Asami reassured them.

"We'll see Korra tomorrow though right"? Kuvira asked.

"She'll be back tomorrow, but maybe keep the rave to a minimum okay Kuv"?

Kuvira chuckled, "you got it Sami".

And with that Asami got into the back of the car and they returned home in a comfortable silence.

Korra forever grateful she had a caring girlfriend by her side.

HAVE LOVE WILL TRAVEL

Another drabble from prompts I get on a Discord server I belong to.

Asami answered her cell phone on its third ring.  Opal was on the other end of the call and she blurted out, “Where the hell are you right now?  I tried the mansion but no one answered.”

“I’m never home on Sundays…at least I haven’t been since Korra’s down south.  I thought you knew that.”

“I guess I didn’t put two and two together, sorry!!  How long has she been gone?” Opal questioned.

“She’s been gone for two months and I’m going crazy without her.  She tells me all the time how much she misses me and I miss her too.  I mean we talk every second day but I’m just not sleeping well without her.  I just need to feel her next to me.  Plus, our anniversary is coming up and I don’t know if she’ll be home or not.  I feel like I’m losing it Ope.”

Asami knew that the confession she had just made would have Opal’s problem-solving skills kick into overdrive.  It did not take long for Opal to respond.

“Aren’t you the CEO of a multi-billion yuan company?”

“Yes, I am and that’s why I’m in the office right now.”

“And you’re missing your wife?”

“More than the three years she was gone.”

Asami could picture Opal raising one of her eyebrows as they spoke on the phone.  “Oh My Raava.  You’re the boss.  You’re allowed to say, ‘Fuck it’ and just leave the city to go see your wife you know.  I mean if I was you, I would book a first-class ticket to Harbour City right now and screw the consequences.  You have great people who work for you and they can take up the slack.  You did train them.”

Asami couldn’t argue with that.  “I so hate it when you’re right.”

“No, you don’t.  You love me!!!”

“Yeah, I guess I do.  Thanks for the pep talk.  I’ll book right now and I’ll send some emails to my team while I wait for the flight.  Thanks, Ope.  See you in a week.”

With that Opal and Asami hung up and Asami opened a travel site on her computer.  It took about fifteen minutes to get her flight and car booked.  The flight was leaving in three hours.  Plenty of time to get everything done.

___

Four hours later and in the air above the Mo Ce Sea, Asami was very glad for the tasty food she was being served by the cabin crew.  She hadn’t eaten anything since the bagel she had before she left for the office.  She could hear Korra in her head saying that she shouldn’t skip meals.  Asami smiled to herself and began to read the in-flight magazine.  She blushed because it was the newest edition of “Life in RC” and she was on the cover.  The story was about the new 3D printing machines that Future Industries had designed for home use.  Asami continued to peruse the magazine until the aircraft's captain came on the speakers.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are beginning our descent into Harbour City.  We are encountering some turbulent weather so it might get a bit bumpy.  We should be on the ground and at the terminal in a little under thirty minutes.”

Asami put the magazine back into its proper place and tightened her seatbelt.  Although the landing was a little choppy, she was relieved and grabbed her carry-on luggage from the overhead bin.  After thanking the crew, she stepped out of the aircraft and headed directly to the car rental place.  Asami knew that winters in the Southern Water Tribe could be wicked so a top-of-the-line Satomobile vehicle with all the bells and whistles was what she had booked.  As she got to the counter, the attendant was smiling.  He began, “Hi, I’m Kasen.  Are you here to pick up a vehicle?”

“Nice to meet you Kasen and yes, I’m here to pick up the SUV I booked.”

“Name?”

“Asami Sato.  I booked a new Scorpion XL this morning online.”

“Yes, ma’am.  I see the reservation right here.  I’m glad you picked this vehicle because the weather yesterday was pretty horrendous.  There were whiteout conditions in the town; subsequently, the roads were impassable.  With this machine, you will have no problems on the roads today.  May I please see your driver’s licence and credit card.”

Asami handed over what was asked for and was relieved that she wasn’t recognized this far south.  Once the transaction was complete, she walked out the front of the terminal and strode over to her ride.  She was very thankful for the heated seats and heated steering wheel.

As she drove through Harbour City along the waterfront she was amazed by the large chunks of ice washing up on the beach.  I guess it really was one helluva storm.

The trip to the Chief’s palace took about forty minutes and when she arrived, she was met at the door by the security staff.  Asami was escorted to the front door of the Chief’s living area.  She knocked.

She heard “Coming” from behind the door.  It was Korra’s voice.  Asami’s pulse began to race as she waited.  She was almost frantic.  The door was flung open and there stood the Avatar in all her glory.  Korra’s brow furrowed for a second and then a 1000-watt smile burst from her lips.

“Asami!!  What are you doing here?  I mean I love that you’re here but why.”

Asami’s voice came out as a squeak.  She pleaded, “I needed to see you.  I needed to hug you.  I needed to kiss you.”  The CEO’s eyes filled with tears. 

Korra lifted her hand and wiped the droplets away from her wife’s cheek.  Asami leaned in, embraced Korra and kissed her fiercely.  The relief she felt was almost overwhelming.  The couple's weeklong vacation brought them both the comfort and support they each needed.

Wight Family Tidbits (2nd Gen) Pt. 2

Warnings: Parental death, loss of limb, Child abuse, starving a minor, creepy religious people being creepy religious people

Jerry - Minimal change, turned one of his Daughter’s names from Carrie to Carly

Joseph - Slight change, I killed him off cause I decided I wanted some more angst in an otherwise happy branch of the family

Jasper - Slight change. His name was Jacob but as I was going over my chart today I was like “wait, his wife’s name is Opal and his daughter’s name is Jade. And I have a Jasper on this sheet. Wtf, why didn’t I think of this before?

Jared - Ah yes, the fifth son that was a closeted homosexual for going on almost 30 whole years until the death of his parent. It was shortly after this that he met his future husband, Deon, who was stuck on the side of the road waiting for someone to stop and help as he didn’t own a phone and he was in the middle of butt fuck nowhere with his young daughter, Cassiopeia, in the backseat. Jared took them both to his house to get a good night’s rest with the promise of fixing his car for him in the morning. Only they kind of just….ended up staying. A night turned to a week turned to a month turned into a year. Dinners at night turned into dates between Jared and Deon and eventually Deon popped the question and Jared adopted Cassiopeia the same day as their wedding.

Jason - Good old Jason. He got married to a Sicilian woman a few years older than him named Thalia which caused a bit of an upset with his parents, them claiming that her being older than him was unnatural and that he should go for someone younger. Fortunately it wasn’t something that they pressed on too much when he said that he was more than happy to become estranged from them when their beliefs threatened his happiness. They bit their tongues but that didn’t stop them from being cold to his wife up until their very last breathe despite her being the one to take them into her home and care for them as they faded away. He and Thalia are the parents to the triplets Emyr, Sandra, and Indigo, and could not be prouder and more supportive of each of their transitions.

Jacob - God, Jacob is such a pure man. Built like a fucking grizzly bear though. All tall and fat and hairy. He both became a military member and a husband basically the second he turned 18. He married Bethany, the “overachiever” girl in his class. The pretty blond and skinny prom queen and valedictorian, and while not the head cheerleader she did participate in a number of activities such as Ballet and Gymnastics while also being the winner of several beauty pageants all throughout her life. But she’s also a cold hearted bitch who never really treated Jacob well beyond doing “traditional” housewife things. It escalated to the point of divorce and almost immediately after, they both found out she was pregnant with their first and only daughter, Carrie. Who uh, definitely inherited a lot from her dad. Which definitely displeased Bethany, who is not very supportive of body diversity. Add on top of this that shortly after her daughter’s birth, she lost a leg due to a severe blood clot, she became unbearable for anyone and everyone. Especially to her daughter, Carrie, who she had majority custody of because of Jacob’s job in the military. She pushed Carrie to do a number of things such as her Ballet and Gymnastics, never satisfied with her daughter’s work, always forcing her to practice and practice until she got it just the way she wanted. Even to the point where she would use food as a means to get what she wanted, leaving Carrie hungry for hours on end and sometimes days, Jacob very oblivious to this due to Carrie’s already quite and reserved nature plus the fear of punishment from her mother. Don’t want to reveal too much more on this because Carrie will get her own little fic (along with most other Wight family members) on how she gets rescued from this situation.
