[hider=Evette] [img=http://static.parade.condenast.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/spot-tiffany-thiessen.jpg] [b]Age:[/b] 42 [b]Personality:[/b] Evette is a very straightforward woman who loves to speak her mind. Many people consider her brash. She is quick to come to a family member's defense and doesn't stand for anyone picking on her daughter. Though, this may cause Genevieve to not consult her about problems she is having in school. Contrary to her rash behavior, she works as a financial adviser. She keeps her job and family life separate. Sadly, work pulls her away from Genevieve and her new husband. She loves that her daughter is creative because she was never in the arts as a child. This was also what drew her to Andrew. [b]History:[/b] Growing up with four brothers, she learned to become assertive at a young age. Due to her tendency to rush into things, she married a year after graduating college. The marriage lasted twelve years, but the couple had been on thin ice for a while. Three years after the split, she was contacted by a new client, Andrew, who wanted advice for the money he was earning through several new book titles. The two hit it off and began going out after a few months. They've been dating secretly for a few years.

When he was younger, the two would 'people watch' to observe mannerisms. This habit has stayed with him to present day. Due his father mostly conversing with him about writing, he has a tendency to view people as characters and lacks sympathy for most people. However, empathy is another matter entirely. Due to his upbringing analyzing characters, he can easily discern how others feel and manipulate them. At school, he is popular because he tailors his behavior to match what people want or expect. He gets frustrated when things don't make sense, so he took an interest in the sciences, hoping to understand the world a little more. At moment, he is hoping to go into quantum mechanics. [b]History:[/b] He is an only child and doesn't have many cousins. When his mother passed away he was devastated. As a child, he craved the attention she used to give him, but his father was always busy. Over the years, he has drifted further away from his father. He doesn't understand how Genevieve and her mother can be close when they barely talk with each other because of work. He isn't aware of their parents dating but has taken an interest in the family. He has even watched a few of Genevieve's youtube videos. [/hider]
