curly, dark brown hair, blue-green eyesRichard Wright is a romantic at heart. He weeps bitterly at not having been born a century ago, when he could have shaken hands with the Shelleys. In his spare time, he draws (quite well) and sings (atrociously). Shortly after their marriage, he abandoned his career as a minor clerk at a respectable law firm to pursue his passion - painting - much to the chagrin of his wife, who prefers to afford butter on her bread in the mornings to having her likeliness displayed on each wall.Virginia, while beautiful and clever, is impulsive, ill-tempered, and hot-headed. Her parents have no idea what her husband sees in her, but are glad to have her gone from under their roof. She worked briefly as a governess, where her quick temper made the children terrified of her, but surprisingly obedient. Now, she manages the household - something her husband is unfit and unwilling to do. In her spare time, she devotes herself to taking care of her small, garden, where she grows vegetables, though she laments that the London smog does them no good.IIH [26] Richard Nathaniel Wright

straight, dark brown hair, brown eyesHarry Houdini arrives in town. Virginia thinks getting tied up in chains is a silly and fruitless pursuit and takes no interest in it, while Richard is utterly fascinated and sketches all of Houdini's performances religiously, unable to tear his gaze away. Phoebe, who is now five, is an exceptionally impatient child. Richard thinks she takes after her mother. Virginia asks if he would like to ask Harry Houdini to marry him instead. Phoebe spends much of her time collecting all sorts of insects from the garden. Virginia says she ought to leave them outside, where they help cultivate her carrots, while Richard all but faints at their appearance.VIIIH [32] Richard Nathaniel Wright

straight, dark brown hair, brown eyesVirginia has been complaining of pain in the joints. The doctor says it is unlikely to pass, and that she should spent less time bent over in the garden if she doesn't want the pain to get worse. She ignores his advice. George has grown into an exceptionally impulsive child who returns home after a day of play covered in scrapes and cuts, play-fighting with all the neighbours. Richard disapproves of violence. Virginia disapproves of him losing.IXH [33] Richard Nathaniel Wright

straight, golden blonde hair, green eyes> Dog [0] ArgosThe family adopts a puppy named Argos, much to the children's joy and wonder. Stephen has grown to be as thick as thieves with his older brother Matthew, and just as impulsive. While George has grown out of his street-fighting ways (though still engages with the occasional toussle with his schoolmates), it seems he has inspired Stephen, who is a terror to all the neighborhood's children. Harvey, on the other hand, is an exceptionally charming and well-mannered child, and Virginia, while vehemently denying she has a favourite among her children, would probably choose him if pressed. Like his sister Judith, six years his senior, he has exhibited some artistic talent.XVIIIH [42] Richard Nathaniel Wright
