no one asked but here's all the info about the naturals characters (mainly core 5 + celine and the agents) that is either implied or stated
ⓘ CLEARING OUT MY DRAFTS
character omitted = hella unknown
ages:
cassie - 17 (all four books)
sloane - 17 (all four books)
lia - 17 (book 1-3, unclear whether she's 18 in book 4) → only stated by michael that "she doesn't need kid gloves" after stating that dean was 18 but michael doesn't know when lia's birthday is (??? wtf boy)
michael - 17 (book 1-3), 18 (book 4 ch20 onwards)
dean - 17 (book 1-3), 18 (book 4)
celine - 19
briggs - 29 (book 1-2), 30 (book 3-4) → he's a scorpio on the cusp of sagittarius and because between book 2 and 3 it skips to the new year, his birthday is held then
director sterling - around 65
judd hawkins - 60something
laurel hobbes - 4
no info on veronica sterling → safe to assume she's around briggs's age or slightly younger (because of her "youngest to graduate the fbi academy" thing)
birthdays:
michael - march 31
briggs - anywhere from november 19 to november 23
dean - anywhere between january 14-15 to march 29
no info on everyone else → HOWEVER, elena calculated sloane's birthday to be june 21 and aaron's to be july 27
sexualities:
celine - lesbian
sloane - sapphic
no info on everyone else → although you could argue that michael is implied to be queer because of what thatcher said to celine "that he could have stamped the bad blood out of you when you were younger, just like he did for his son"
birthplace/hometown:
cassie - denver, colorado + gaither (not a real place), oklahoma
sloane - las vegas, nevada
dean - quantico, virginia
lia - new york (where she and her mother fled to), china → dean says that lia's mother was in the country illegally, unclear where they started from but presumably china (cuz zhang isnt spelled zhang in taiwan)
michael - new york
celine - new york
briggs - texas → his social security number starts with 449 (texas's area number)
no info on everyone else → safe to assume that sterling was born and raised in dc because fbi directors stay in dc
eye colours:
cassie - blue
sloane - blue
lia - black/dark brown
dean - dark brown
michael - hazel
sterling - grey
no info on tanner briggs
hair colours:
cassie - red/ginger
sloane - blonde
lia - jet black with electric blue streaks
dean - blonde
michael - brown
sterling - brown
briggs - brown
middle names:
michael - alexander thomas
celine - elodie
briggs - elias
aaron shaw - elliott
no info on everyone else → based on what i know about chinese people aka myself and the people around me, lia is unlikely to have a middle name especially if she's from china HOWEVER it's still possible and she probably makes one up on the spot every time
age the naturals joined the programme:
cassie - 17
sloane - 14-15 → more likely to be 15 because "for years, it had been just (dean and lia)"
lia - 13
dean - 12
michael - 16-17 → more likely to be 17 but "i've only been here for a few months" is vague so
why/how they joined the programme:
cassie - ...business card... from michael at her waitress job...
sloane - flagged down by her father so that she can be far away from him
lia - hauled off the streets and blackmailed by director sterling
dean - the reason why the programme was created because briggs kept coming to him with cases and the director found out
michael - traded in to the programme in place of his father's white collar crimes
additional info that could be useful:
as of all in, michael and lia have been physically involved no less than 6 times
michael has been expelled from 3 boarding schools (on purpose)
lia killed a man when she was 9, escaped the cult when she was 12
michael was a bruised mess when he came to the programme → he "lost it" on some kid and sent him to the hospital
cassie was 12 when her mother went missing
no info on when marie redding left → only that it was before dean turned 12
aaron is 1433 days (approx 3 years and 11 ish months) older than sloane
It’s The Gilded Blade release day for like a few hours and I‘m already seeing Jameson hate, how lovely. And to no one’s surprise it’s people that already hated on him, calling it „criticism“. Yeah right, criticism my ass.
I‘m so fucking done. I‘ll read this book, give my review and then leave this fandom to move over to the Naturals.
I‘ll also use that pretty block button of mine now.
Tired of this fandom and I hope to god it dies out.
Way to ruin my morning I just got up.
And no I don’t care if yall call me a male obsessed hoe or boy mom. This shit is annoying and yall won’t silence me into not continuing to say how annoying it is.
To everyone who hasn’t read yet?
Happy reading I hope you all enjoy it, don’t let the negative Nancys ruin it for you <3
