Let's get a look at the concept Picrews I've made for the family of my main character in my WIP book, Byoldervine
We'll start with the obvious; Persephone Foster, our twenty-year-old protagonist. Persephone is a very active and reckless person who can rarely sit still for long. One thing she really enjoys is parkour, and she's trained herself to the point where she can run along rooftops without much worry. She has very little fear - until you drop her into an unfamiliar social situation. Persephone also has a special interest in Paracosm's creatures, and frequently rereads the bestiary she got from Corrus Acaron himself that details a great many Paracosm species. This special interest was also what lead her to volunteer at the Ampitheatre
Mary and Arthur Foster are Persephone's grandparents, having raised their only grandchild since she was a baby. They both love Persephone very much, and would do anything for her, though at the same time they don't extend that same love to their own daughter. Mary especially can be slightly passive-aggressive at times, but is also very sweet and caring. Arthur is very enthusiastic about things, and could make the most mundane anecdote into a fascinating epic. While Mary enjoys her knitting and sewing, enjoying watching her creations progress, Arthur is very passionate about tending to his garden
Alicia Foster is Persephone's mother, and the CEO of a very successful company. When Persephone was born, there was no father around, so Alicia moved back in with her parents to help her raise this child. Mary and Arthur were very disappointed with Alicia for not having anything prepared whatsoever in terms of raising this child, having expected her to at least have the immediate provisions such as a cot or bottles or nappies, but it was as though Alicia wasn't expecting to have to raise a baby at all. Persephone was loved unconditionally since day one, and so tensions could be eased a little in her presence, but it all came to a head when, after many arguments and ultimatums on both sides, Alicia moved away for her career, leaving Persephone in Mary and Arthur's care. Since then, Alicia has been sending money over every month, even when Persephone was no longer living with her grandparents, but she rarely contacts her family due to how busy with work. Alicia regrets not having a stronger connection with her daughter, but believes that the situation is for the best; she trusts that Mary and Arthur can do a much better job of raising her than she ever could, and at least this way she can provide plenty of financial support for the whole family
As a special bonus, let's also add Ellegaarde to this list. Ellegaarde is a teacher and runs the Ampitheatre, a school in Tyrion that teaches about the history of the realms, along with the beings within them and the magic systems present in different cultures, with glyph magic also being a popular unit that she teaches. Ellegaarde took Persephone in when she was around nine years old, bringing her to Tyrion in order to help her keep her abilities a secret and to help her search for the cause of it in a safe, open-minded environment that wouldn't just write her off as crazy. Ellegaarde is very calm, patient and encouraging, becoming an additional sort of mother figure to Persephone as well as a mentor and boss
