Hm. I am going to add dramatic and unrealistic detail now.
Let's see. Okay. Professions.
Dave travels all over the world, filming documentaries full of daring social commentary. He was born in England, but after he and Antonia were married both of them went to America where he began work on a documentary about urban poverty. Antonia is a political journalist who contributes regularly, under a mysterious pen name, to important publications.
Maria Claudia Angelina was born a little after a year into Dave and Antonia's marriage. Um. It went well, I guess? Less than a week after Maria's birth, Dave's mother Sue died of breast cancer, and the revised family flew into England to witness her burial. Later, Dave remarked slightly bitterly that Sue's death "couldn't have come at a better time," as Antonia had never met much of Dave's family and they probably wouldn't have gotten around to introducing Maria to them for several years.
Dave was never close with his parents Sue and Frank--not hostile, but never close. They were simple people who didn't care to think very hard about anything, but they had produced four quick-minded and curious children, three of whom were in attendance. Their daughter Shanie (eight years Dave's senior) had flown in from Michigan, where she was married to the great-great-great (however many) grandson of the man who invented the Bessemer process and comfortably stepped into the world of upper-middle-class America, despite her teaching middle school in a disadvantaged district. Her husband Michael and children Ethan, Alex, and Matt accompanied her. Dave's youngest brother, Martin, was 14, and showing signs of frightening analytical brilliance. He was born a few days before Johnpaul, Dave's childhood hero and older brother of two years, died in a boating accident. This unfortunate coincidence permanently distanced Sue and Frank from their remaining children and forged an extremely close bond between said children.
Also in attendance were Frank's brother Harry and his wife Ophelia. No one knew where any of Sue's family were to contact them--in Georgia somewhere, presumably.
ETA: 1 and yellow.
