Re: Arcadia's Event Congrats - Sign Ups!
UN: Wandering Moon
DH: Alexander Orson Cleary 'Xander' (29)
-Career: Soldier
-Bio: Xander became an orphan when he was 12 [his Mother died in childbirth when he was 5, and his Father was in a car accident], and he was bounced around from foster home, to foster home until he aged out of the system, at which point he entered the Army. He thought to only stay for a few years, to go to school for carpentry afterwards, but he found he liked it, and so decided to stay for a few more turns.
DW: Rose Barbara Cook (24)
-Career: Politician
-Bio: Rose was born in Scotland to very strict Catholic parents, and they moved to America [Maine] when she was 9, after her sister Allison was born. She preferred the culture of America over Scotland, but longed to return to her homeland, and did so a year after her brother Darren was born, when she was 18. She fell in love with a man named Eoin, and had a whirlwind romance that lasted until his death three months later. Rose returned to Maine barely pregnant with Sarah, and gave birth eight and a half months later.
After experiencing the American's less than ideal pre-natal, and medical care, she decided to focus her attentions [those that weren't on her newborn daughter] on becoming a politician to try and improve things for those who couldn't afford to pay for a medical plan. She's still a rather low-level politician, but is slowly gaining ground, and attention.DD: Sarah Rose (6) (Rose's daughter)
-Bio: A relatively happy young girl, quick to smile, and - though she doesn't always understand the finer nuances of people's emotions - she has no problem making friends at school.Xander and Rose met through an intern at the office Rose works at [who is an old acquaintance of Xander's], and she immediately annoyed him. She didn't look down her nose at him, like others did, but she had a way of smiling as if she knew everything about him, and found his gruff demeanor amusing. They exchanged e-mail addresses though, because Rose wanted a contact in the military, and e-mailed each other once a week for a year before they met again.
Her smile still annoyed him, but he thought her kinder this time, and agreed to go out with her when she asked. The two married nine months later, two months after Sarah's fifth birthday, and bought a house together just outside Winthrop, Maine. They are relatively happy, and Xander gets along with Sarah very well. She's had no trouble referring to him as 'Poppa', and she likes the games he makes up when he's home.Green
