The Sairsurrows
[/center][/font][/justify]You've heard of people who obsess over history, the ones that try to live in the past. Those old fashioned people with good intentions. But have you ever met one? How about an entire family? They don't seem to know exactly what they are doing, but their lifestyle is completely normal for them. Their style is rather curious. The Sairsurrows are a very rich family in District 9, and are considered queer by most. Of course, they aren't queer at all! It's those people outside the family that are weird, right?
So get ready for fluffy dresses, top hats, and the most interesting dialogue, along with having as many children as you can! Good luck, district 9!
[/justify]Prudence Sairsurrow - 50 - Female - Open - Prudence Sairsurrow is the source of her Children's fashion sense. She buys all the cloth she can get her hands on and spends her days making new clothes, especially for her girls. She taught them not to feel outrageous by never making anything normal. Her favorite color is blue, and it shows in her work. She loves her husband to death and knows she can't live without him, no matter how... Strange he is. She appreciates Victoria's help and sometimes takes advantage of it. She is still a little depressed by Elisabeth's unfortunate death (sickness) but has found ways to get her mind off of it. She does not play a very major role in the family despite being the mother, her only influence being pressing the tradition into the children during their first five years, then letting Victoria take over.
Alfred Sairsurrow - 52 - Male - Open - Alfred, in the opinion of his family, is just as strange as everyone else in District 9. He hates wearing the clothes his wife makes him, and the way they talk drives him crazy. Often he will get drunk so it doesn't bother him as much, and from time to time he will hurt his children. Okay, so maybe it's a bit more often than that. He always acts better at the end of the month though, so it's okay!
Victoria Sairsurrow - 19 - Female - Open - Though not the mother, she is very strict with her younger siblings. Prudence does not care, thinking that it is best if the children don't have to fear her. So Victoria spends most of her time watching her siblings and keeping them out of trouble. She sends them to their rooms and grounds them as well. She is an excellent cook. She has a job at a cafe, but is usually hurrying to get home to her precious siblings. She is scared stiff of her father, and her strong will is easily made thin by him. Her boyfriend keeps telling her not to act so funny, but she only waves it away a little angrily. She believes her family's traditions should be carried by everyone and wants a man who will be just like her.
John Sairsurrow - 17 - Male - Open - The twin of James, and the most polite of all the Sairsurrows. He never forgets his manners, and is polite and protective of his sisters. To his brothers his is kind and careful not to pick fights. Most of the girls in town have had a crush on him at some point or another. His dazzling looks and great charm are enough to make any girl he wants fall flat on their face. He often assists James in experiments, being a popular test subject. He hasn't gotten hurt yet, but he has been made sleep for a week before, and ended up stuck with a mind reading helmet on that didn't work.
James Sairsurrow - 17- Male - Open - James is the brains of the family. He is an avid reader and inventor. His twin, John, looks not a cent like him. James has created many useful things to help his family around the house. James is the one person able to cool his father down, but that may be because he is trying to fall down the same path. He is often trying to hide his things from Edward. When he made the sleeping juice, Edward gave it to his parents! James is careful not to make anything Edward might have too much mischief with.
Olivia Sairsurrow - 16 - Female - Cameo - Olivia is not actually a Sairsurrow. Prudence found her on the doorstep as a newborn. No one knew what to expect from a foundling, but with the bringing up she was given she turned out just like the rest. As every Sairsurrow has, she ended up with an extra special something. Though not as mannerly as John, she is very kind hearted and will help anyone in need. She is very close to Violet. Olivia is very social at school, but like her siblings she doesn't have many official friends, and those that are are constantly calling her odd.
Edward Sairsurrow - 15 - Male - Open - Edward is a peculiar young man with a mind for trouble. He likes playing tricks around the house, especially on Victoria. You'd think he was a nasty boy who lied about his whereabouts. In fact, he is very honest. He can't keep a secret well, but ask him something and he'll tell you. Who cares if he happens to gloat about his pranks? He doesn't care much for his twin sister, Violet, and doesn't look much like her. Edward wants de
Violet Sairsurrow - 15 - Female - Willow - Violet has a very creative mind. She us talented in many arts. She loves poetry, story writing, drawing, painting, and is the family's great pianist. She let's Winnie read all she wants, and enjoys drawing her and Olivia. She tends to make her father angry often though, screaming at him to go sober. This often results in a lot of pain for her. She finds comfort also in helping her mother make clothes. She idolizes her mother, and is no doubt the closest child to Prudence. Violet enjoys playing with her hair, and is very creative in doing her sisters'.
Timothy "Tim" Sairsurrow - 14 - Male - Lei - Tim is a magnificent musician. Though the piano is not his cup of tea, you name an instrument other than it and he can probably play it. He can spend hours composing, and will sometimes asks Winifred to make some lyrics with it. He is the only one who can break through her, and will occasionally coax her into singing for the family with him and Violet. Tim honestly cares when people are in trouble, and is a big role in cheering up his siblings when those crazy people outside home make fun of them.
Caroline Sairsurrow - 13 - Female - Open - Caroline, the identical twin of Mary-Isabel was a great surprise to the Sairsurrows. Three sets of twins, and the only one who actually looked like her sister. She ended up being very proper, and a no-nonsense girl. She can be a bit stubborn, but is loyal to Mary-Isabel and won't let her father hurt her. She stands strong, though inside she is not at all fearless. Caroline won't call anyone by a nickname, actually finding it to be her pet peeve. She calls Thomas Thomas, Mary-Isabel Mary-Isabel, and Winifred Winifred no matter how much they ask her not to.
Mary-Isabel Sairsurrow - 13 - Female - Jess - Mary only let's her mother and twin call her by both names. She is a very quiet young girl, and a coward by nature. She refuses to try anything new or take chances, and with a constant phobia of death running in her head she is considered a little off by even her family. Still, she is very lovable when you get to know her and has managed to make a few friends at school. Of course, better not ask her to change out of her dress no matter how close you are to her. She is gorgeous, and she knows it. If she could stop screaming she would have every boy by his nose. In a way, she wants to go out and be adventurous. She dreams about it often. Only her fears hold her back. She's like John. Not even the strange way she talks will hold the opposite gender back from flirting.
Winifred "Winnie" Sairsurrow - 12 - Female - Sarella - Winifred (Preferably) is nearly silent, only speaking to be polite and occasionally sing. When you do hear it, it comes out silky and sweet. Her voice is like musical notes themselves, and when she sings it will strike you dumb. She is very calm, and the only Sairsurrow not scared of her father at all. She will breeze by him. She never raises her voice, and the person she talks to the most is her father, to say "stop" and then keep walking. In a crowd, no one can knock her down for she is so balanced, there is only one thing wrong with her. She is a loner, depressed from her sister's death, and only Timothy can make her do anything but mourn.
Elisabeth Sairsurrow - 8(Now) - Female - NPC - Elisabeth died at age four, devastating The whole family. It took two years for people to get over it, but Winifred and Prudence kept mourning. Recently, Prudence has had another child, but Winifred keeps crying.
Nathaniel Sairsurrow - 3 months - Male - NPC - The baby of the family. Anyone in the plot can make him do things, but he is most often in Victoria's arms, or rocking with Prudence.
The general traits of the Sairsurrows are dirty blonde hair and dark brown hair. The eyes are either hazel or brown. The skin is light and they tend to be average height.
