Overall Appearance Val is quite attractive, actually. She has bright red hair, which she dyed. She actually was a blonde, but when she turned sixteen, she really wanted to try something different. So, she dyed her hair red, as her brother said it looked quite nice on her, actually. At that time, her brother was dating a red-haired girl, which is why he really liked the color. However, it did, actually, look nice on Valerie. After that, it kind of stuck. She didn't want to change it back. She got compliments wherever she went for her hair. Valerie has nice, crystal blue eyes. She's really simple, meaning that she isn't the type of girl to go all out with the makeup. She would rather look more natural, and wear maybe a little mascara and blush, and a light shade of lipstick. Nothing too bright or loud. Her hair already does that for her. As for her style, Valerie isn't too picky. It seems that whatever she wears, it looks pretty good on her. She wears mostly comfortable clothes, even hand me downs from her brother. She can make them work.

Hobbies Valerie is very artistic. She likes to paint mostly abstract, but nature, too. Val sometimes can draw portraits, too. She enjoys coming up with ideas for a new painting, and believes that she can go anywhere and do anything with her art. Val paints mostly in bright, bold colors, such as a loud shade of red or green, along with a navy blue and light yellow. She loves neon colors, really. If it's not painting or drawing, it's designing fashions. Valerie likes to make up all types of clothes and piece them together, as when she was a child, she always made clothes for her Barbies. Despite this, she does not wish to be a painter, nor does she want to be a fashion designer.

She actually wants to be an interior designer. In her apartment, she decorated everything and such. Valerie had everything displayed to look lovely on the walls and shelves. Ever since she was a child, she had been designing Barbie houses, too, by arranging the furniture to make the house look cleaner. Valerie, sometimes, would even make her own furniture out of recycled items that her mother would have allowed her to use.

Besides these, Valerie enjoys spending time with her family very much, especially Elisabeth Rousseau, who is her brother's daughter. They are very close, and Val is sometimes viewed as a mother figure to Elis. Elisabeth sometimes really unlocks the childishness in Valerie. Around Elisabeth, Valerie can act like a child again, even if she really is twenty years old. She's motherly and cares for Elisabeth very much.

Past Val pretty much had a normal life. She didn't have much issues. She lived the life of a regular girl. In a way, it can be kind of sad, actually. She can't tell others about an exciting story of her life when she grows older.

Hobbies One word. Music. Matthias loves music. He writes songs, plays the guitar, and sings, too. Sometimes he likes to combine his passion for singing with his daughter.

Aside from this, Matthias is an artist, too. He enjoys painting portraits, mainly. He uses charcoal pencils to sketch portraits of his siblings.


History
Past Matthias was always bullied when he was a child. It was hard for him to make friends, mainly because he was just anti-social. He didn't talk to anybody, and was really shy. However, when he started taking guitar lessons, and soon could play really well, he entered the talent show. Matthias had a good voice, too, and wrote a song and sang it at the talent show. After that, pretty much everybody wanted to be his friend. However, only one girl got to him. And he fell for her. Her name was Claire, and they became best-friends. They spent every moment with each other. Soon enough, Matthias realized that whenever Claire told him that she was going on a date, or when he saw her flirt with somebody, he felt... annoyed. He finally asked her out one day, and she agreed. After that, they had a perfect relationship, really. They never fought.

However, it all changed. Claire gave birth to a little girl, who Matthias had named "Elisabeth Charlaine Richardson-Rousseau". After that, Claire and him never spoke, really. He thought she just needed some time away, which upsetted him, but he understood. What he didn't understand was why. In the park, he saw Claire on a date with her ex-boyfriend again. She had been seeing him for the past two years, Matthias realized. When Claire spotted him, she broke up with Matthias, and told her that he could keep the child, she didn't want her. It broke Matthias's heart. But little Elisabeth still makes him happy. She looks exactly like her mother.

Past relationships He had quite a lot of relationships in the past. However, the one that really mattered was the relationship with his best-friend (who had his daughter). She left him heartbroken after Elisabeth was born.

Her foster parents used to beat her, she was abused terribly by her boyfriend, and is bullied constantly at school. The main reason for the move, really, was to keep Callisto from breaking down.

Overall Appearance Callisto is very pretty. She has dark black eyes and curly, dirty blond or brown hair. She has a corset tattooed on her back, mainly to hide the scars that her foster parents, boyfriend, and bullies had left her. Callisto thinks herself to be ugly, although she really isn't.

Good traits Innocent, kind, sweet, motherly, bold
Bad traits Selfish, bitchy, rude, low self-esteem, short temper, rebellious, doesn't trust others
Hobbies Callisto is the true artist in the family. She draws portraits of women, mostly. However, she doesn't know where she is in her life, nor does she know what she wants to do with her life. Callisto's true passion is drawing, however, she likes modeling, too...

History
Past Callisto and her twin, Ignace, have been going to foster home to foster home. Their parents simply did not want them. They don't know why. Maybe they couldn't afford baby twins. Maybe they just didn't want a baby. Callisto's last foster home had ended up abusing her and her twin by beating them several times. Callisto was adopted soon. However, she did not trust them. Not even after she had been with the family for a long time, even if they did take her in. Her twin, however, was the opposite. He was all for it, being excited.

Callisto is a rebel. She doesn't like following others, which is why she had attempted to run away. She has a low self-esteem and is actually anorexic, and doesn't eat much. She doesn't want pity, however. Nobody has even tried to help her, besides Ignace. When Callisto turned thirteen, she got her first boyfriend. He was nice at first, but suddenly started drinking a lot, and hurting her. He started abusing her. But Callisto didn't complain, or say anything. She would come home, however, hurt and bruised. Matthias got into a fight with her boyfriend, but Callisto still didn't break up with him. She was too scared. He broke up with her, actually. Callisto had caught him with two other girls, and he said, "It's over." He beat her again (with the girls), and that's how it ended. Callisto felt heartbroken, but free, too. She promised herself to never let herself trust anybody ever again.

Past relationships Her first boyfriend turned into a terrible disaster. He was sweet at first, but sometime along the way, he started losing his temper more quickly. Soon enough, he was abusing Callisto. Matthias took care of him later. It turned out, he had started drinking. However, Callisto still stayed with him. She even had seen him kissing two other girls before. She stayed with him, as she wasn't strong enough to break up with him. Her boyfriend, however, ended up breaking with her by calling her some names, beating her again, and telling her two words. "It's over."

Hobbies Valentine likes to play video-games, of course, with his twin sister. Both of them are good, but Val is totally better. However, he doesn't spend all his time watching television and stuff. He likes to draw, just like Callisto does. They say that art runs in the family, actually, and music. It's true, really, but don't think that there isn't any individuality. Val is very musical, he plays the piano and the violin, even if he doesn't always practice. He used to play (and still does) the piano for Callisto whenever she was angry or upset, or when she felt like crying. He sings a little, too, but he would much rather be a pianist than a singer.

Unlike Callisto, Valentine knows what he wants to do with his life. He wants to become an artist. He draws mostly scenery, but he likes to draw portraits the most.

History
Past Valentine had always been going from home to home. They never were really adopted. Val figured that it was either that they were bad, or weren't good enough. They were beaten in their last foster home for things that they did not do (the parents had a twelve year old bratty daughter, who blamed them). When they were finally adopted, his twin, Callisto, had already refused to trust anybody. However, Valentine was eager to have a new family. They treated the two well, which was a relief. Callisto and Val spent almost all the time together at those times. When Callisto ran away, he ran after her.

He wished that he could have beaten Callisto's boyfriend for her. He hated seeing her more abused every day. However, whenever he asked, she would snap at him and tell him that it was none of his concern. Matthias was the one who ended up telling her boyfriend to stop. But Val knew that Callisto wouldn't go away. She was too weak. He just wished that he could have done more, really. His twin sister was hurt, and he didn't do anything about it. That's when, a week later, the family decided to move to Riverside. To put the past behind them, that's what Valerie had said.

Past relationships He dated a girl before, nothing serious.
