the carr's, a happy family of eleven. that's how fairytales always start, right? chase and courtney carr were born two months premature and only two minutes apart after their mother had to have an emergency c-section. from september 30, 2001 and forward, chase was a carr, one of eight children at the time. chase and courtney were miracle children, and because of their premature birth, chase had only 60 percent hearing in one ear and 20 percent in the other. that didn't stop her from being a partner in crime to her twin sister.
chase and courtney were inseparable, the twin did everything together. since the twins could talk, they could joke around. chase and courtney used to be little troublemakers, since they figured out that they looked identical, they'd fool their other family members by switching places. courtney was chase's best friend.
when chase and courtney were nearly one, michael and deborah carr brought in the final carr child, and chase's only younger brother, wanted connection. he was close with the twins, chase and courtney even sometimes pretended the three were triplets. chase went from one of eight to one of nine and she couldn't be happier, even at a young age. growing up, chase always had a special relationship with each one of her siblings. despite her hearing loss, she was always a bright child and kind sister. though, she was a bit more introverted that her other siblings, especially courtney.
chase was six when the accident happened. it had been a snowy week in northknot that week and her twin and younger brother were outside building a snow fort by the street in a pile of snow made by the snowplow. it had been only chase, courtney, their younger brother home, with their eldest sibling, campbell, there to babysit. the other carrs were out getting some winter clothes as many of them had growth spurts that year. chase was never fond of the cold, even from a young age. that day was meant to be no different than the other days the carrs played in the snow. but chase will never forget that cold winter day. their younger brother had run inside to grab courtney and him hot chocolate, the oldest carr, campbell, who was watching them going to help him with it as he was still too young to do it by himself, confident courtney would be alright playing in the snow.
it was meant to only be one moment, but so many things happened in that one moment. the snowplow came back around, and the snow fort collapsed on courtney, burying her under the snow. chase will never forget the sound of the snowplow driving down the street, the screams from her siblings when they found the wreckage, or the lights and sirens of the ambulance when it came to the farm. that was the first-time chase really experienced a depersonalization-derealization episode, feeling like what had been happening wasn't really her life. chase remembers walking outside to see what was going on. her first reaction was to grab hold of her younger brother, turning him away from the paramedics trying to unbury courtney. chase will never forget the day her parents told her that courtney was dead. chase went from one of nine to one of eight once more, but it wasn't because her younger brother was absent, it was because courtney was. from that day on, chase was not a twin, and it felt like courtney took a part of her with her when she left.
for as long as chase can remember, she held the pain of the loss of her sister. when she was old enough to truly process it, she began to be angry at her younger brother and campbell for leaving courtney. for a while, chase drifted from her younger brother. she even drifted from the rest of the family too. it was hard though, as their parents became absent when they dealt with the grief and the carr siblings clung to each other more for support. if you saw chase now and met chase before courtney passed, you wouldn't expect her to grow up this way. the girl was no longer one to joke around, to cause trouble. instead, chase was even more introverted and closed off. she was dissociative, especially from her emotions. she grew up with the pain becoming a part of her, and each year it got worse.
chase wasn't close to her younger brother for years, even though eventually she didn't blame him, knowing that he could've easily died that day too, and him or campbell couldn't possibly have known it was going to happen, but being apart from them was what stuck for a while. that's when she really started to hang out with alicia and miles, starting to lean more on her friends.
what made chase closer with her siblings again, especially her younger brother, was when alicia started to fall in with the wrong crowd and they started to barely talk. when chase heard alicia had passed away, that broke her. it was her younger brother's shoulder that she cried on, and it was campbell who held her as she screamed and cried, and it was another one of her older siblings who made sure everyone was there for each other, starting sibling dinner every sunday night. now, chase couldn't imagine what it would be like without any of her siblings.

campbell carr. older sister. campbell and chase are close but weren’t totally growing up. following her twin’s death, chase held resentment for campbell and their youngest brother, as campbell had meant to be watching him and courtney when courtney died. while now she recognizes that the anger at campbell was slightly irrational, she still holds some anger, but tries her best to have a better relationship with her and work through the misplaced anger.
cassian carr. older brother. chase and cassian are opposites in many points, while cassian is more of a talker and gets stressed, chase is more reserved and quiet. growing up, it was easier to let cassian express the things she couldn’t. she enjoys being with her brother and often worries about him at his job.
cassidy carr. older sister. the two of them grew up somewhat close, like chase with all her siblings. chase was always reserved and separate from her family following courtney’s death that it impacted her relationships, cassidy being one of them. chase tries her best now to make it better.
alicia monroe. best friend & crush. chase grew up with alicia, but they fell out of touch after alicia rebelled. chase still tried with alicia, but it was hard. it hurt her a lot following alicia’s death and chase found herself falling into old habits of trying not to get close to anyone out of fear of losing them, much like her early years after losing courtney. they recently started getting close again and chase found herself crushing on alicia, but she’s unsure how to tell the world, especially her siblings that she’s gay, and even more so how to tell alicia that she likes her.
miles greenwood. close friend & ex-boyfriend. miles and chase grew up together, their families knowing each other from being fairies. miles and chase briefly dated, but it put a lot of pressure on miles with his family’s expection, and shortly later chase found she was gay. they had a mutual break up and are still friends. though while miles was gone and alicia was dead, chase felt quite alone.
