Neighbor
Not quite friends yet, but Mountain admires Red and wants to help him out however he can. He brings their little family homemade dinners from time to time and sometimes brings his hound over to cheer up Red and impress Oliver.
Neighbor
Red has a hard time warming up to strangers but Mountain is slowly showing him that there's good people out there not too far from him. The help he has offered has genuinely touched Red and Oliver seems to like him.
Friend
Dante likes hanging out with Haiden in their gaming chat / server. He doesn't realize how much he actually appreciates their presence. They are a big support to Dante even if he's stubborn.
Friend / Crush
Haiden has liked Dante since their junior year of high school and can't seem to shake the feeling. They admire his art and perspective on things but feel like its hard to get him to be honest with himself.
Husband/Spouse
Dustin has a lot of love and respect for Hazel and her steadfastness in their relationship. When they started dating they were in their late 20s and both identifying as lesbians. The decision to have kids wasn't a hard one and Dustin needed a lot of patience figuring out his gender stuff after as it all left him in a weird space--a space that Hazel was more than willing to walk with him through.
Wife/Spouse
Hazel cares deeply for Dustin and has delighted in seeing him come into himself, even if its taken a bit longer than some other folks. She can be quick to get upset but even when irritated Dustin grounds her and calms her down. She loves sharing parts of herself with him because he makes her feel listened to. Figuring herself and her sexuality out after Dustin came out as trans caused some stress within their relationship but she knew that no matter what she deeply cared for her partner and their family.
Friend
Penny loves the games and toys that Samson brings to preschool. They both like animals and this is everything to her.
Friend
Samson likes the attention that sharing his stuff gets him and Penny is no exception. She can be pushy but Samson gets along with her anyway.
Mother
Even though Penny’s still a small child, Portia is quick to feel disappointed and frustrated but also pretty good at keeping it to herself. She loves her daughter but struggles as a parent.
Daughter
Loves her mother and thinks she is very knowledgeable and wise. Sometimes Portia lets her temper or lack of patience get the best of her and this scares Penny, and as such she is learning to keep some of her feelings to herself.
Father
Wasn’t exactly into the idea of becoming a parent but wasn’t opposed either. He has a hard time with actually listening and being emotionally involved with Penny. He does a lot of things for her, like going to the park or taking her toy shopping, but actively engaging with her doesn’t come naturally.
Daughter
Loves her father and thinks he is really smart and funny. She thinks he’s listening when he’s not really. She especially loves going to the playground and going down the slide together.
