a few things about sloan’s family, because i can only keep this in my head for so long:
her only family consists on five people: mother, father, paternal grandmother, an uncle and an aunt.
the only ones who have a name as of right now are uncle rodrik, the owner of the bookshop and the one who used to homeschool her, and grandma ruby, the one who named her.
while she calls them uncle and aunt out of habit, in truth, they’re her mother and father’s respective partners.
her parents were best friends who wanted to have a kid and ended up doing it together. the partners came later and it was decided that they’d raise sloan together. ruby, who knew that was the only grandchild she’d ever have, decided to move in.
the closest thing sloan ever had to a best friend was her grandmother.
they lived in an old factory that was owned by ruby’s husband and was one of the only things he left his son. it was big enough to fit everyone, and so started a perpetual state of fixing up the place that would become sloan’s inheritance.
her father was a forest engineer and believed in the power of plants to make people’s lives better. he instilled in sloan a respect for nature that she’d carry for life.
uncle rodrik never really lived with them, though he spent many nights. he had his own place in the city, where he and her father would hide away sometimes, to have some privacy.
though he was thoroughly loved by everyone else in the family, uncle rodrik never got along with her mother’s partner. so, once her father passed away, he made himself scarce at the house. in turn, sloan finished school and used her newly-found free time to work full-time at the shop, helping him.
