history

title here.

Sadie is the second child out of six kids, and her life has been pretty chaotic since the beginning. Her father was a musician, and constantly traveling for work. Sadie's mom used to travel with him, but once she started having kids, it was harder to do. Still, that didn't stop her for quite a few years, and Sadie has vague childhood memories of her, her older brother, and her younger siblings as they came along being backstage at numerous shows. Being watched by strangers, sometimes even wandering off to go see what kind of things they could get into. The world was definitely a different place back then.

From a young age, Sadie took on a caretaking role for her siblings, especially when more of them came along. The rockstar life that her father led came with some downsides, and unfortunately, he got addicted to drugs and partied a little too hard. He overdosed when Sadie was about twelve, and things just went downhill from there. Their mother struggled with finding a job and keeping it, and the money from Sadie's dads life insurance came and went pretty quickly. Sadie's older brother ended up dropping out of school to get a job as well, and as soon as she was able, Sadie started picking up odd jobs here and there. Anything from babysitting to grass cutting to cleaning, she did after school and on weekends.

Trying to support the family took a toll on Sadie's brother, but he never stopped doing it. Their mother hopped from job to job, never really finding something long term. It was by chance one day that Sadie was walking some dogs, and had each of her younger siblings with her. The twins both ran up to Marty Grant before Sadie even realized they were gone, and she spent a good few minutes freaking out before she spotted them. He didn't look thrilled to be bothered, and Sadie was so apologetic, trying to wrangle in the dogs as well as the twins and the rest of her siblings. She remembered how he paused and looked at her, looking as though he were going to say something (good or bad? she'd never know) before one of the twins promptly threw up on him. Somehow she made it out of that situation, though she was mortified. Imagine her surprise to get a letter from that same man a few years later, naming her as one of four inheritants to his estate.

history

title here.

Taylor was an accident in pretty much every sense of the word. His mother had an affair with Daniel Grant, and even though it wasn't supposed to happen, it did. She got pregnant, which would and could have destroyed Daniel. He offered to pay the woman off if she gave up her rights to Taylor and disappeared, and it didn't take her long to agree to the terms. Especially once she saw the amount of money on the check. She figured that Taylor would have a better life with Daniel, as his money could make sure that Taylor had everything he needed. Only that wasn't the life he was set up for.

Daniel hated him, and he made that clear by being pretty much absent in Taylor's life. Thankfully, Taylor had his half brother Nick, and Nick's mother. Though he never understood why Daniel seemed to hate him, the love from the other two members of his family made up for it. Mostly. And in a way, Taylor did have everything materialistic that he needed or wanted. He took a liking to the arts from a young age, and quickly proved that he was talented as well. He struggled in subjects like math, history, all of that. But anything where he could show off his creativity skills, he flourished.

After high school, he went to college and graduated with a degree in the arts. He opened up a few galleries around the US, and runs them mostly from home, though he goes and visits them every once in a while. He comes across as careless and nonchalant about most things, unless it has to do with art. He lets people think of him as unintelligent when it comes to other subjects, when that's far from the case. He likes surprising people, but honestly, he's most happy when he can just be doing his own thing. When it comes to Marty's fortune, he would of course benefit from it, but he isn't as affected by the four girls Marty named as, say, his brother. He's intrigued to see how things will play out, but that doesn't mean he's completely out of the race.

  history

  Clementine was the first and only daughter of Basil Cline, a nomadic florist who never quite left the 70s and 80s era. Her mother specialized in native wildflowers and made her money by creating beautiful local bouquets and arrangements that she sold at farmer's markets, flea markets, and pop-up shops out of the back of their van. They lived in a converted van that looked like something straight out of Scooby-Doo with colorful flowers hand-painted on the side, and it had everything they could need. From a mini-fridge to an induction burner to cabinets and shelving, it was like a New York City studio apartment on wheels. Basil was a bit promiscuous in her 30s and got pregnant with Clem out of wedlock. She had several partners, and never really stopped to figure out who her child's father actually was. And honestly, Clementine never missed having a father figure.
  
  Her entire childhood into her teenage years was spent on the road. In her free time, Basil homeschooled Clem and taught her all about flowers and nature. They spent many evenings camped out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by plants and animals under the big open sky. While this might not seem like a good life to some people, Minnie really enjoyed it. She didn't really care about not having roots in one place and didn't necessarily need more friends than her mother and the people she met along the way. However, there were times that she found herself feeling lonely, and that was when she took up reading and writing.
  
  Books were a way for her to escape, to explore new worlds that her van-home couldn't reach. And with writing, she could create her own, create the lives she wondered how it would be to live. She fell in love with the stories. Romance, sci-fi, mystery, thriller, classical, it didn't matter. All were welcome in her personal library. Writing allowed her to get her thoughts out onto paper, things she couldn't say out loud. Which is why it absolutely terrified her to have anyone read her stories, including her mother. It was like a twisted form of stage fright.
  
  Her mother was getting older and not as spry as she once was. Her floral business had gone online and begun booming. So, Basil decided it was finally time to settle down, buy a stationary home, and open up a brick-and-mortar florist shop. So, when Clementine was 14, they moved to Portland, Oregon. It was a bigger place but had a close-knit small-town feel that fits well with the Cline aesthetic. Minnie was sent to public high school where she quickly made friends, and worked in her mother's floral shop after classes were over. While living the nomadic lifestyle was amazing, Clem absolutely fell in love with Portland. Everything about it was beautiful, and she never wanted to leave. But she needed to move on if she was ever going to make her own life.
  
  After Clementine graduated high school, she realized that college wasn't really for her. She needed to explore the world outside of her mother's shadow and decided to move to Raleigh, NC to live on her own and get an adult job. Her dream was to send her books to a publishing house and become a best-selling author, but the fear of anyone reading them never went away. To pay the bills, she got a job as an assistant to the CFO of a big hotel corporation and quickly learned why everyone hated working for him. He was overbearing and rude, called her names for minuscule things like getting a coffee order wrong, and expected her to read his mind. But Minnie stayed there because it paid well and she had no idea what else to do with her life. Maybe someday she'll achieve her dreams. But she'll have to get over her stage fright first.

  connection to the Grants

  
  Clementine is the assistant to the CFO of Martin Grant's hospitality company. They met in the elevator one day when he came to visit headquarters where she immediately offered him some of the macarons she had freshly baked the evening before. He happily obliged, and they had a short yet lovely conversation about baked goods that somehow led to her dreams and subsequent fears of becoming a writer. Clem had no idea who he was at the time, not until those elevator doors opened to reveal her boss. He immediately greeted Martin by his title then horribly chastised Minnie for not already having coffee ready for the two men, calling her incompetent and ditsy. Martin saw how poorly the CFO treated her and how sweet of a person she was. But, unable to fire him due to the company's Board of Directors, the older man came up with a better idea: putting Clem into his will.

  history

  Liam Thomas Grant was the oldest son born to Richard and Eloise Grant, and from the very beginning, it was safe to say he was planned by not exactly wanted. The Grants were a powerful family built on old money from the hotel industry. What started out as a simple bed and breakfast in a quaint coastal Carolina town developed into a revolutionary, modern, industry-leading hospitality corporation. It was safe to say that the Grant ancestors had set up their family for an infinite amount of generations to come, as long as they didn't completely let the business go by the wayside. And that was the case for Liam's family. His parents didn't have to work a day in their lives, his father instead riding on the coattails of being an heir and his mother purposefully marrying rich. Instead, they spent their time and money on traveling the world without a care, leaving their children behind with their grandfather.
  
  Martin was the type of man who kept a dry wit about him. Intelligent and strategic, it was hard to tell when he was being straightforward and when he was joking around. But this was something that came to him in his older age. He too had once been a money-driven mogul who left his children behind. But seeing his children do it to their children made him realize just how harmful that had been and would become for them. And so, when his sons refused to be the father figures his grandsons needed, Marty decided to step up to the place and look out for them. Aside from his brother, grandfather, cousins, and the occasional housekeeper or serviceperson, Liam spent the majority of his young life on his own. He was the type to keep to himself, stay quiet, and have a resting bitch face that seemed to intimidate those around him that didn't know him well. While reserved, Lee certainly wasn't shy or introverted. In fact, he was confident in himself and his abilities.
  
  That being said, Liam was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He never had to work or want for anything, all his desires were gifted to him on a platter. And so, he got used to that lifestyle. Buying whatever he wanted when he wanted it, the designer brands and newest technology, and traveling at any time. Though never believing that he was owed it or anything, he just thought that the constant cash flow would always be there whenever he needed it. Instead of going to college or getting a "real job," he decided to follow his passion: martial arts. After watching an old samurai movie when he was a kid, Lee fell in love with the art. It was clean and disciplined, precise and beautiful. After telling his parents he wanted to start classes, they found him the most revered martial arts masters to train with, something he continued to do into adulthood. He was good, agile and quick on his feet but still able to throw a powerful punch. For a while, it was just a way to work out some energy. But when he saw a flyer in his gym for an MMA competition, he was immediately intrigued.
  
  Liam joined the MMA circuit from the bottom, competing in simple amateur fights with low-risk payouts. But people quickly realized that he was anything but amateur. He moved his way up the stardom rankings faster than most before him and made it to the professional fight series that people host pay-per-view parties just to watch on TV within a year. Now, as a semi-professional UFC/MMA fighter and B-list celebrity, Lee makes a good amount of his own money. But that doesn't mean he left his wealthy childhood ways behind, still relying on his son-of-an-heir allowances. A few years ago, Liam moved into his grandfather's poolhouse as the elderly man needed someone to passively watch out for him but Lee still liked having his own space. There were still waitstaff around the mansion, so the arrangement was more so for companionship than anything else. During that time, Liam grew fairly close to Martin, and it was through that bond that the latter realized his grandson had practically closed himself off from the world. He can only hope that the wake-up call following his death might just save Liam from a life of loneliness and melancholy.

  Personality

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  To strangers or acquaintances, Adaline comes across as a sweet, friendly girl. While she often dons a smile, she isn’t very forthcoming with details about her home life or the obstacles that she’s faced. When it comes to life’s problems, she usually has a grin and bear it outlook, passed down to her from her grandmother. “Life isn’t fair, but do the best you can with what you have.”
  
  To the those closer to Ada though, the young woman is a bit of an enigma. A mediocre student growing up, she is a savant when it comes to music- particularly the piano. She has a short attention span, and yet can get caught up playing music for hours. She appears elegant and graceful, but can’t sit still to save her life and is always fidgeting. She is constantly hungry and eating, yet her grandma always said she was too thin. She is willing to do whatever it takes for other people, but is too afraid to try for herself.
  
  Quirky is one way to describe the habits, hobbies and interests that make Adaline who she is. Often caught in her own mind, she may come across as a little spacey, but that is only because her own thoughts and imagination often drown out reality. It is difficult for her to casually listen to a song - even the little chimes and melodies of electronics that most people drown out- without automatically breaking it down into notes. Only when she is playing can she quiet her mind. Knitting is one of the other hobbies she has taken up to help with anxiety and overthinking. Her immaturity comes out when she is teased for it, or anything else, and she is prone to being a tad melodramatic when it suits her.
  
  She likes the idea of romance, but doesn’t think she’ll ever find it. The women in her family have had bad luck with men, and she usually only fancies guys who are unattainable. It kinda freaks her out when someone is actually interested her, so she hasn’t gone on many second or third dates.

  Growing Up

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Adaline was born to a single woman, and never knew her father. Well she never really knew her mother either, but to be fair that was an unfortunate cruelty of life. Patrick McHale chose to leave the woman he accidentally knocked up and her child, Hannah Monroe was taken from this world too soon. Shortly after turning 3, Ada’s mother was killed in a freak accident. Hannah was pushing Ada in a stroller through town when the little girl realized she’d dropped her stuffed animal a few meters back. Hurrying to soothe the wailing child, Hannah turned and ran back to the crosswalk to retrieve the toy. Unfortunately this was at the very moment that a pizza delivery boy on a bike took a quick turn and collided with the mother who fell and hit her head. Being only a child, Ada thought her mother was only sleeping as people gathered around her, but she never woke up.
  
  From that point on, Adaline was raised by her maternal grandmother May Monroe who served as a mother figure. Despite the early hardships, Ada had a happy childhood with May and they were very dear to each other. May began teaching Ada piano to distract her from missing Hannah when she first took her in, and by 8 Ada was playing in competitions, and by 10 she could play songs just by listening to them. It was clear that Adaline was far more talented than her grandmother who’d made a living teaching piano, and her life revolved around music.
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Loss of Her Grandmother

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  In her senior year of high school, Adaline was encouraged by her grandmother to apply to Juilliard. Despite her reservations, Ada did so and was surprised to not only be accepted, but to be offered a scholarship. Unfortunately, tragedy struck again and just after graduation May fell ill. Unable to abandon her grandmother, Ada did not intend Julliard, forfeiting her scholarship. Instead, to pay for medical bills she began working at the Ellsworth Estate Country Club in the day thanks to a connection from one of her grandmother’s old pupils, and giving piano lessons in the evening. The tips from the members of the Country Club made serving beer to the elitist golfers bearable, though she hates the beverage now. May even sold her house and the pair moved into a smaller place just big enough for the two of them, May’s bird, and the grand piano. Through a variety of treatments, Ada’s grandmother fought hard for the last four years, but sadly passed away a few months ago. Drowning in debt and with nothing else to sell, Adaline made a decision even harder than refusing Julliard and sold her grandmother’s grand piano.
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  The Present

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Though she has nearly paid off all of her grandmother’s medical bills and funeral costs, and has nothing stopping her from moving on with her life, Adaline is still working at the Country Club as one of the beer cart attendants. The money is good, and she tells herself she is only going to stay there until she can afford to buy her own piano to replace the cheap electronic keyboard she has now. In reality, Ada is scared of pursuing her passions only to turn out a failure. There is an open tab on her computer with a quarter filled out application to Juilliard… but she can’t get herself to complete it the second time around without May’s encouragement.

  Connection to Martin Grant

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Many decades ago, a young Martin fell in love with one Miss May Monroe- the daughter of his piano instructor. They were each others first love, and kept their relationship a secret since it would never be allowed. He was from a wealthy, high class family and she was a musician’s daughter. Their stollen glances, brushed finger tips and forbidden rendezvous continued for a few years until it was time for Martin to step up into the family business. He was directed by his father to work in overseas in Europe to help expand internationally and would have to leave May behind, who by this time was the piano instructor of Martin’s youngest sister. Unable to refuse his father and risk being disowned, a heartbroken Martin left a distraught May behind- promising her that he would return for her. As a parting gift, he bought her a grand piano so she would remember him each time she played. Unfortunately time has a way of ruining even the best intentions, and by the time Martin returned to America it was too late for he and May to be together.
  
  Fast forward to 2022. Adaline had just buried her grandmother and was swimming in a sea of medical bills. Left with no alternative, she was forced to sell the beloved grand piano her grandmother had taught her to play on. It is a priceless piece, so she put it up at the annual Ellsworth Estate Country Club auction. The winning bid provided nearly enough money to cover the debt left behind by May, but it broke Ada’s heart. When a representative of the bidder came to collect the piano, he inquired as to why she was parting with the instrument and Ada was uncharacteristically open about the events that led her to the impossible decision. They parted ways, and Ada never gave the interaction a second thought, though selling the piano still haunts her.
  
  A few months later, Ada was informed that a Mr. Martin Grant had inexplicably named her one of the four inheritors of his estate.
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Moving to the Grant Estate

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Adaline is rather lost in life when she is given the opportunity and challenge to live in the Grant Estate. While it seems crazy, she has no reason to say no. Her grandmother is gone, she has no other close relatives and her possessions all fit easily in a storage locker.

  Personality

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  To the casual observer, Nicholas would appear to be the golden boy. He’s got looks, charm and money. He’s captain of the Polo Team, volunteers with charity organizations, and is always smiling… But beneath the PR Dreamboat, lies a young man who is only concerned with accomplishing his goals and getting what he wants. He never does anything unless it will benefit him. His position as captain isn’t to lead a team he cares about with honor, but to dominate his contemporaries and get the spotlight. Even on his own team he has to be #1. And those charities he works with? Well he sure as hell isn’t getting up at 5a to make Thanksgiving meals for the homeless because he cares about those less fortunate. No, he just wants the credit and the story in the newspaper that comes with it. Sure Nick is always smiling, but it’s often to cover up his true feelings towards the world. A closer examination of his pearly whites would reveal gritted teeth and forced muscles in his face. It is nearly impossible to discern the real Nicholas from what he has curated for the world.
  
  While Nicholas does exude confidence, and has even tricked himself into believing he is nothing but confident, it is his deep rooted insecurity that truly drives him. He believes if he isn’t perfect, or at least appear perfect, that his family will overlook him for his brother or cousins. He doesn’t consider himself a good person, and who could love someone as fucked up as him if he was to be himself. Nick loves Taylor, and until recent years didn’t quite see him as competition… but he has always feared that everyone loves Taylor more. Nick tries so hard to succeed in the family business because he is terrified of being cast out.

  Growing Up

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  Martin Nicholas Grant was the first born grandson of his namesake, and as such had all the attention of the family… for a whopping 8 months. Then another baby, the product of Daniel’s affair while Beverley was heavily pregnant, joined the Grant family. Though Nick and Taylor were half brothers, the former didn’t realize this until age 6 or 7, and grew up always considering Taylor his best friend and brother without any fractions.
  
  As a child, Nick was spoiled rotten by his mother, which helped balance his father’s strict rule and lack of patience with his young son. Daniel was overbearing towards his eldest, though as involved as he was in Nick’s grades and extracurriculars, he was emotionally distant. Nicholas would have taken this harder, if not for seeing how Daniel treated Taylor in comparison. It wasn’t until Nick was older that he would realize the reason for Daniel being uninvolved in Taylor’s life. Surprisingly though, Beverley loved both boys almost equally, allowing them to get away with murder.
  
  As Nick got older, he became more competitive with those around him. Everyone except Taylor. Though he’d never admit it, Nick felt that his brother posed no threat due to his illegitimacy. Yes, Taylor was a Grant, but his mother wasn’t in the picture while Nick’s was. Not being threatened by Taylor allowed Nicholas to remain close to him while most of his other relationships became surface level and strategic.
  
  As the oldest grandson, named after Martin, Nicholas felt it was his duty and right to be the next heir after his father and uncle, neither of whom seem to care about taking over from Martin. This pressure to be a future patriarch of the family shaped his teen years into early adulthood, and all of Nick’s choices and endeavors served to further his success towards his goals. His grades were average, so he adopted a fake it til you make it motto. What he lacked in academia, he made up for in confidence and charisma. He was chosen for class president and group leaders because he gave off the impression that he was the best of the best. Not because he actually was.
  
  He went to an Ivy League school because his family was able to buy his way in, and graduated with a business degree after 5 years. The first of which he wasted partying and drinking. After doing some damage control on his reputation, Nicholas joined the family business and has worked his way up the ranks ever since.
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Loss of His Grandfather

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  Nicholas always felt that he had a special bond with his grandfather since he was named after him. He was Martin’s first grandson after all, and that should mean something special. Martin served as Nicholas’s hero his entire life, though the young man valued the elder’s business savvy more than his more recent family values. Nick wanted to be as cut throat and successful as Martin had in his younger days, and began to pity his grandfather for becoming soft in his old age. Of course, that was how he felt behind closed doors, and never shared these thoughts with anyone else.
  
  As Martin became sick and was nearing the end, Nicholas became even more consumed with taking over for his grandfather. His competitiveness with his cousins doubled, and even his relationship with Taylor became strained. Everyone was suddenly a threat to the future Nick so desperately wanted and felt he deserved. The eldest Grant began spending more time working with Martin, trying to impress him so he would be made heir. Mistaking any criticism from the old man as part of his dry humor, Nicholas was ignorant to the disappointment in his grandfather’s eyes when they were together.
  
  It was only when Martin eventually passed and the will was read that Nicholas realized their relationship hadn’t been as strong as he believed. Still, Nick is adamant that there has been a mistake and that he should inherit his grandfather’s estate since his father and uncle have their own properties and he is the oldest grandson.
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  The Present

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Nicholas is irate that four women are set to inherit his grandfather’s estate if they can play his game for a year. However, Nick chokes down his ire and acts like he’s not concerned, insisting that this is just Martin’s last practical joke and that everything will rightfully go to the Grant family in the end. He intends to make life difficult for the girls when they move in, all while wearing his forced smile. Though intentions aren’t always successful…
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Reason For Remaining In the Mansion

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  Nicholas was tasked with going through Martin’s personal affects and papers after his passing. Turns out his grandfather didn’t like to make anything digital or throw anything away, so this is quite the task. To make his life easier, Nick is living in the mansion… plus he doesn’t trust the new residents not to take what isn’t theirs… yet. He doesn’t believe they will last the year, and doesn’t plan to help in that endeavor.

personality

personality type

INTJ-T (Turbulent Architect)

strengths

smart

Kady is what one might call a diamond in the rough. She is a street kid, never had a chance to get her education properly and yet, her brain seems to be wired differently, she sees connections and associations everywhere and her head is filled with way too many "fun facts".

curious

Kady simply cannot leave any puzzle alone until she solves it. It will take her sleep away, she will try and come up with solutions and ways to crack it open. Her curious brain usually allows her to break the rules and she justifies it with her trying to solve a riddle or searching for answers. And yes, it does lead her to trouble more often than not.

passionate

There is no one quite burning for novelties as Kady. Once she starts liking something, once she adopts a new hobby, comes across a new "case", her passion burns brighter than the sun and while it is usually her accelerator, it can also grow into obsession.

weaknesses

reluctant to open up

Being on her own for so long, there is no one Kady truly trusts. She takes forever to open up to people, even tell them she has a headache or is not feeling well, let alone her deeper issues.

obsessive perfectionist

Everything needs to run like cogs in the clock, Kady accepts nothing less than perfection. She suffers from a mild case of OCD as well and it goes further than just making sure the books on her shelf are in a perfect line. She obsesses over the tiniest things, hates anything out of line and will drive herself crazy until any task she's working on is polished 100%.

outspoken

While it may not necessarily be a bad thing, Kady opens her mouth a lot and quite often, she cannot evaluate the situation and just shut up. She says things as she sees them and never sugarcoats anything, saying that pure honesty is a hundred times better than white lies to spare someone's feelings. The truth hurts but only for a little while. At least she believes so.

likes

poker, escape rooms, roses, black coffee, organizers, pistachios, rock music, books

dislikes

sweet tea, stupid people, being underestimated, anything out of line (don't ever give her a coloring book), bananas, insect, mess

quirks

always wears her hair down, even in summer - toys with her rings when in thoughts - always has to use a red cup for her coffee - enters the room with her right foot and leaves with her left, never differently

fears

ending up homeless, never hearing from her mother again, fire

history

early life

Life was never really kind to Kady Carroway. It seemed as if she was cursed from the day she was born. She was born too early and spent her first days, weeks even, fighting for her life. Her mother prayed and begged any higher power to save her little girl. Step by step, Kady recovered and soon, happy mom was discharged and allowed to bring her girl home. There was never any daddy waiting at home for his girl. For as long as Kady could remember, it was always just her and mom against the world. Natalia Carroway worked hard to make sure Kady always had anything she needed and to replace both parents. Never having a chance, or brain for that matter, to go to college, she worked in a small diner around the corner and often brought little Kady with her when there was no one she could ask to babysit. Kady was a good kid, quiet, never causing scenes or throwing tantrums. All she needed was a coloring book and she could spend literal hours with it, making sure she never went out of line. Her OCD was starting already, just nobody knew.

When she started school, it soon became obvious that she was slightly different from other kids, mostly because she was bored in classes. While the other kids drilled their reading and writing skills, Kady already mastered as much as she could handle, considering her age. Math classes were the same. Somehow, her brain served as a calculator. She wasn't one of those miracle children who could do difficult math right of the bat but she certainly surpassed her classmates. After two years, they allowed her to skip classes and when she got to high school, she was the youngest kid in her class, the only 12-year-old among the high school freshmen. She never cared, she found her crowd alright thanks to her quite bubbly personality. And if anyone ever had a problem with her being there, Kady was quite capable of putting them to their place right away since her tongue was just as sharp as her brain.

Later on

It was Kady's junior year of high school when the curse hit her again. She and mom never really had a lot, but they managed. Kady herself starting to contribute to the family budget by playing chess and poker for money. Of course, Natalia never knew because Kady told her she was earning money at the ice cream store. But even the good girl Kady Carroway realized there had to be more to her brain than school and she decided to put it to a good use. By no means was she a cheater. She simply saw those things in her head. She could analyze the chess board and get ahead of her opponent, considering all possible moves they might make and come up with her own counter. And once day, when she came home from a particularly prolific afternoon, the apartment was empty. Everything was just as the ladies left it in the morning but mom had a day off, they were supposed to go to their monthly dinner together, the one sacred tradition in the tiny Carroway family, but she was nowhere to be found, her phone was off and Kady just didn't get it. Her heart hammered in her chest and she wondered what happened, why her mom was gone and where she was. Maybe she simply had to run out for some errands.

But the day became evening and the evening became morning, days became weeks and Natalia was still gone. Kady wondered, cried, raged, even tried calling everyone they knew. Natalia vanished and Kady had absolutely no idea why. Something had to happen, right? Mom would never leave her like that. Kady considered going to the police but it also seemed too late. She kept it a secret, found out her mom even gave up her job and basically no one was looking for her. Kady was still a minor and if whoever started to poke their nose into it, she would have been shipped over to a foster home. And so she lied. She created a net of lies, spun them every day, laid them on thicker and thicker until she finally graduated high school and was allowed to go her own way. College was not happening because she didn't have that kind of money and applying for scholarships just... Well, maybe later. Kady had her own plan. She would search for mom, try anything there was. It was the latest project, a case to crack. A riddle to solve. And meanwhile, she kept playing poker and chess for money, risked more and more, turned into a proper street rat which would gave a run for his money even to Aladdin. Kady came from nothing and had nothing. And therefore, she was allowed to risk, she had nothing to lose.

personality

personality type

ESTP-T (Turbulent Entrepreneur)

strengths

bold

As the youngest in the family, Tristan was never really held to those highest standards. Of course, he was expected to be a true Grant but he was not the heir apparent and therefore, allowed to experiment which opened up that bold and risk-loving side of him. He loves nothing more than pushing boundaries and proving people wrong.

original

Combining his boldness and practical nature, Tris is capable of putting together challenges no one would think about. And not only he comes up with them, he also tests them himself, which more often than not results in injuries and scars.

sociable

Raised by his grandfather and his brother AND his cousins, there is nothing shy and timid about TGristan. He is a social butterfly, always loves a good party and actively seeks social interactions. He plunges himself deep into the throng of social life although sometimes finding the limit is too hard for him.

weaknesses

insensitive

To Tristan, feelings and emotions come second. Emotionally charged situations are difficult for him and he is prone to make them awkward or uncomfortable. He is sure to say something that might even come off as rude.

defiant

There is no way Tristan is going to be boxed in. Nobody was ever able to contain him and there is a chance nobody ever will. He finds school extremely tedious that he needs to pepper it with some of his own shenanigans. He will not listen to anyone if convinced he's right.

risk-prone

With his impatience, there is a high chance he pushes himself into an uncharted territory without thinking about consequences. It's his way of battling boredom.

likes

adrenaline, anything pineapple, scones, photography, rap music, rain and storms

dislikes

boredom, not knowing, brown M&Ms, needy girls, bland food

quirks

spews insults when insecure - adrenaline is his coping mechanism - masks hurt with a crooked smile, the more he smiles, the more hurt he is

fears

ending up like his parents, dying alone

history

early life

Tristan Grant was never anyone else but a Grant. At least not according to his knowledge. His parents never even bothered to give their real names when he was born and as soon as the woman was able to get out of the bed, she did and left the newborn baby in his crib, never even giving him a name. To her, baby was a liability and she needed to get rid of the unnecessary burden. And so, a little nameless baby, whimpering and squirming in his tiny crib, remained all alone in the big bad world. Until he got lucky. It had to be fate that on the exact day the hospital personnel found out he was abandoned, the Grants were at the very same hospital, opening a new wing they funded. All this mayhem around an abandoned child broke out and got the couple interested. Safe to say that they left the hospital with an extra bundle in their arms.

Now, it was all done in a very hush hush way. Only the Grants and a few people from the hospital knew how the Grants got their second son and they all had to sign NDAs to keep it quiet. Eloise Grant gave birth before to her son Liam but after that, she had some issues and was told she could not have any more children. That it would be a great risk. The two traveled a lot and were mostly absent so it was easy to say she got pregnant and carried a child. Basically, you throw enough money to the right people and you can even fake pregnancy. One way or another, they brought Liam a brother and named the baby Tristan. And then, they did what they always had done. They left and asked the house staff to raise another child for them. Tristan was brought up in the same fashion as his brother and older cousins. He was the youngest boy in the family and in some ways, he felt it, which was not necessarily a bad thing.

later on

Just as the other boys, Tristan enjoyed a lot of attention from his grandfather who somehow considered himself a parent to all four of his grandsons. He made sure there was nothing the boys would want for but also raised them to become forces to be reckoned with. They all were expected to make something of themselves. Martin never told them what to do and how to do it but he expected results and nothing less than perfection would work. Tristan himself was not too excited to work hard for the old man's approval but he understood he needed to please him in order to get him off his back. Therefore, he started college and hoped if he got a law degree, it would be enough. But school was never too high on the list of his priorities, instead, he turned to his most favorite activities which all had something to do with adrenaline.

Since early childhood, Tristan loved the risk. He enjoyed pushing boundaries and exploring how far he could go. The older he was, the more stunts he performed and many times, he returned home with injuries, broken bones and open wounds. And then there were times he didn't make it home since he was taken to the hospital straight away. There were very few bones in his body that remained unbroken and Tristan couldn't even count how many times he was scolded by Martin to behave and make sure he didn't break his neck. And yet, deep inside, Tris understood Martin was proud of him in his own way. Tristan was an athlete through and through, tried all the sports available at school or outside of it, tried anything that sounded even a little dangerous and earned his questionable reputation as the Grant wild card. Nothing was impossible and sky was the limit for the youngest boy. After all, he was a Grant. Who could ever say no to him?
