Bit of a one off, but I really do love gaelle and i always wind up getting attached to both kids whenever my sim has a twin, so here's some info on Gaelle!!
-Gaelle and Stormi never really see eye to eye on things, despite being identical twins, their werewolf statuses radically altered their views on the world. (as well Gaelle is more of an introvert and focused on her art while Stormi is a people pleaser)
-Despite not having much an interest in others' opinions, Gaelle was very well liked growing up. She was aloof and cool in a way that drew people towards her, she even won prom queen! She had a series of girlfriends in high school, but met Kerri as an adult and the two really hit it off.
-Gaelle runs the Solare Wolf Pack, she started it initially as a bit of rebellion against some of the older packs, but as an adult she takes it all pretty seriously. She's definitely a pillar of the community, checking in with all the young pups and taking over her mom's farm.
-Gaelle's has a good relationship with all of Stormi's kids, but she especially gets along with Sundae. Sundae's always been the most interested in Gaelle's music, and Gaelle sees a bit of herself in the girl when it comes to how independent Sundae can be.
the left two I've already sorta gone over with other Jupiter Gen posts, but ya know. Surprise werewolf baby and the two connecting the dots and realizing theres a very real chance that none of their kids will be human (they adopted two human kids and Sundae is dormant on both sides so they did technically wind up with three human kids after all!)
-Funny sibling dynamics: Galileo and Juno despite getting along really well for a majority of their childhoods wind up butting heads a LOT by the time they get to middle school. Juno especially has a tendency to prod her brother, but he can get pretty grumpy and moody in his own right. They still love each other and make jokes and get along at times, they just have a rocky couple years. Once theyre older they do bicker a bit on occasion but they'll always be family and will always be there if the other really needs them.
-In a family of big personalities and supernatural abilities, Sundae is quiet and trends to just listen and watch, this has wound up making her the favorite of all of her siblings really. I don't think she herself is fully aware of this, but each of her siblings tend to gravitate towards her the most. Galileo and Juno are both pretty protective of her, but whereas Gali is a soft shoulder to rest on, Juno is the one that likes to push her out of her comfort zone and make sure she's having fun. Likewise Callisto and Arche both think Sundae is really funny and adore how willing she is to go along with their own goofiness. This is sorta Saturn Gen stuff though so I hold off on going further into it
-Galileo being the oldest is actually a young adult and married with a kid!! It's funny, cuz he's always been pretty smitten and serious with Kayla, but he was a total heart throb in high school. Several girls asked him out, though he rejected all of them cuz he was literally already in a relationship. This is also sort of frustrated Juno a bit, because she did not have the same luck with romance as her brother, but ya know dating in high school doesn't work out for everyone.
in age order here's: Galileo, Kayla(Galileo's wife), Juno, Sundae, Callisto, and Arche
Havent gotten very far in Jupiter gen yet really, but wanted to write stuff down before I forgot it lol
"Your whole life you’ve dreamed of having a big family, and well you’re a bit of a bleeding heart always having your doors open for whoever needs you. Your kids would say you’re a tad too protective and you also maybe ran into this whole parenthood thing faster than you should’ve but there’s no better way to learn than first-hand experience!"
-Iker was actually closer friends with Gaelle initially, and despite the two being kind of distant Gaelle often feels a wolfy sense of protection for her twin sister. So the two generally run in the same circle of friends. Iker and Stormi really hit it off and with only a mild suggestion from Gaelle led to the two sort of niavely getting into a romantic relationship. I imagine a lot of their early relationship was a lot more platonic than either intended. They acted more like besties than anything, but slowly the two really did fall for one another. Stormi still sometimes get caught up having a crush on Iker despite currently being married to him.
-Fun thing I was Not aware of until the two moved into their own household is that Iker actually comes from a family of spellcasters?? Like he's of an ancient bloodline and everything. Which paired with Stormi's dormant wolf is honestly so fascinating. Like from a Sims lore perspective that sim werewolves were once considered a branch spellcasters themselves before corrupting into what they are now. Also the fact that I like to imagine neither was actually aware of their family's history and were happy with the totally normal human life together away from their supernatural heritage.
-Stormi's always envisioned a life with a big family full of extended relatives and children, and it's something her and Iker can both agree on. Stormi always felt somewhat isolated growing up, she loved her mother and sister and didn't exactly desire to go through the hardships of being a werewolf the way they had to, but nonetheless felt distant from them. And considering the isolated cottage on the outskirts of town with only her mother and sister around really it's no wonder she grew up feeling rather Lonely and misunderstood. Shayne joining the family I think helped a lot, he's a bit of a weirdo tbh but he was kind and human and that allowed him to be a good parental figure for Stormi to latch onto. Regardless the goal for Stormi is to have 5 kids(at least one of them being adopted)
-Stormi and Iker's first son is named Galileo (after the satellite) I imagine they often call him Gali for short which will annoy him when's older since "leo" is obviously the cooler nickname option though no one goes with it. He's actually a werewolf too!! I hadn't really expected it and then the lil newborn baby started Howling to get their attention it was crazy. I like to imagine he'll grow up to be like an overprotective oldest brother type, lil guard dog of the family haha
-Stormi worked as a primary school teacher(i like to imagine she eventually winds up a high school teacher) actually and because of that connection she wound up with an emergency foster certification that allowed for Juno to come into their home. Juno's only a toddler, and she's a bit shy but Stormi, Iker, and Galileo all absolutely adore her so it's no wonder the filed for adoption. Stormi is also currently pregnant with baby number three who will probs be the Saturn generation.
i just use like a normal blonde in game but canonically I imagine her as more of a strawberry blonde
Miles Solare! Aka the 2nd Generation of my Planetary legacy challenge.
-Miles Solare actually inherited his mother's love for attention and popularity pretty easily, he wasn't a shy kid or teen and most people like him! His "niceness" was all a bit surface level. When it comes down to it he just, doesn't have much interest in other people. So the second people start to get too close he often winds up pushing them away.
-The only people who've gotten close enough to start to get past those walls he has up are undoubtedly a) his ex wife Evie, and b) his own mother. Cuz despite Ray's distance and larger than life personality she actually was pretty in tune with her children.
-Evie was the love of Miles' life, he absolutely ADORED her, but even with her there were just too many times where he closed himself off and pushed her away. After Miles missed multiple holidays in a row she pulled the plug on their relationship. She's a career orientated person herself but seeing the disappointment on her baby boys face was too much.
-For a period of time after the divorce Miles did everything he could to better balance his career and fatherhood. And for a while this worked I think, RJ was a quiet and studious kid, something Miles felt he could relate too. They bonded over late night homework and he tried his best to support RJ's growing interest in history. But once RJ hit puberty it was downhill once more. The two constantly fought, and every time they did RJ would go stay with his mom instead.
-despite being surrounded by "friends" Miles is an incredibly lonely man. At the very least, Evie invited him to her and her new husband's baby shower. So they're all on okay terms at least.\
Some Screenshots!!
first and foremost here's what Evie and Miles actually look like
some cute couple stuff, plus Miles got valedictorian!! That felt verrrrryyyy in character for him, so i had to include it.
-as mentioned on Oly's bio, back when She and Isaac(her best friend) were 17 they wound up skipping prom together in order to goof off around at the lake. Unfortunately they weren't the only ones there that night.
-Little doodle of Oly and her very first animal Sojourner as a little puppy. Her mom's had bought the pup for her as a present while she was still in high school
-The fear I felt when I realized Oly had twins... She had all these animals she was already barely managing alongside work and her constantly boiling over wolf fury. One baby I could've managed but TWO?! terrifying and I imagine her it was even scarier a thought
-Oh sad fucking thing tho, but that last drawing includes the sentiments that Oly and Alice had for one another the day Alice died(on Oly's birthday no less). It's just so unbelievably tragic, the way Alice loved her daughter unconditionally yet Oly will spend the rest of her life thinking her mom feared her due to her own insecurity and self deprecation.
"Earth always dreamed big, but you prefer to dream small. You don’t need to see the world or to leave some sort of lasting impact in order to be happy. All you need is a quiet place for yourself and your animal friends to keep you company. Though, with all those animals you suppose you’ll need to make some sort of living in order to stay afloat and afford to keep them in the lap of luxury."
-Honestly she was a very easy kid, she loved being outside and she loved her mom's obsession with frogs. She wasn't a particularly artsy kid, but has always loved singing since she was a toddler. The little jam sessions she had with her mother Alice was always adorable. She was a good big sister too, she didn't always get Watney, but the two were very close.
-When Olympia was a teenager she wound up developing a crush on a boy at her school, his name was Isaac and honestly he was incredibly gay and uninterested in her romantically. But the two became Best Friends nonetheless. For years and years Oly viewed him as the platonic love of her life. The two did everything together. His prom date bailed on him? Well the two would just skip prom together and go swimming at the lake. Oly accidentally got knocked up with twins? He's moving in to help her out. They have the sweetest friendship. The girls honestly view him as their dad more than their actual one.
-Looping back to that night they ditched Prom though, both have grown up in the sticks and don't necessarily have the best sense of what is and isn't dangerous. The two often got caught doing stupid shit together just cuz they thought it might be fun. Prom night was one of those times where they were out somewhere they shouldn't have been. It was a beautiful full moon, and unfortunately for them they weren't the only one's wandering the woods.
-Only Olympia wound up receiving a cursed bite though and for that she's always been thankful, the very first werewolf trait she got was the sad one lol. She isn't particularly fond of her new way of existing causing many emotional breakdowns and eventually moving to the very edge of town so that she wouldn't be a "danger" to any of those who cared for her.
-technically the challenge has Mars gen as a tech guru, but I imagine Oly just does that to get by. Her true passion in life has always been and will always be animals. It's not a career option in the Sims but just know in my heart her real career is "dog trainer"
-Recently this goofy little horse man moved to town, and its a small town where everyone knows everything. So it wasn't long before Chirimoya was introducing Shayne to her daughter. Olympia was immediately smitten with his horse Sugarbush, and he was immediately fond of how her whole demeanor seemed to soften as she made silly jokes to his horse. He's honestly super soft on her in general, the two only just started dating and this is Olympia first REAL relationship, and I love how gentle he seems with her. Also how contradictory their aesthetics are. He's got the nerdy but nice step-dad vibe down perfectly. Stormi likes him and Gaelle is indifferent. So long as he's nice to their mom they don't really mind this new addition to their lives.
