On October 30, 2020, a 15 year old black boy named Quawan Charles “Bobby” was found lynched near Loreauville, Louisiana. His face was mutilated and unrecognizable like another Emmit Till. He was last seen with a white peer and that peer’s guardian without the consent of Charles’ guardians. The Baldwin Police Department could have saved his life, but instead they did nothing, and they continue to refuse to be cooperative with his family. The Charles family just want answers. They just want to know what happened to their baby boy.
PLEASE LEARN ABOUT QUAWAN CHARLES. PLEASE SPREAD AWARENESS ABOUT THIS. PLEASE STOP SHARING THE GRAPHIC PHOTOS.

The Baudelaire Family
A family from Loreauville, Louisiana in Iberia Parish.
Bill & Florence Baudelaire, 78 & 65 years old Ian McShane & Imelda Staunton
Bill & Florence met at the diner Florence was working at. Bill was relentless, coming every day and trying to get her number or a date. It took him a week to wear her down, and the two went to the drive in together. Bill was old money and Florence’s parents owned the diner she worked at. They got married three years later in the Spring. Bill & Florence invested the Baudelaire fortune in local fishermen, and Florence bought her parents’ diner when they retired to keep it running. Bill developed a fondness for brewing, and opened a small local brewery in Loreauville. They eventually had their four children, Estera & Edward, Everette, and Emeline. Though they love all their children, they weren’t fond of Eddie’s choices, and as such, haven’t spoken to him in 17 years.
Relationships Estera, Gabe, Xander, Addison, & Olivia; Bill & Florence’s second oldest child. They are all very close, and the children will often spend the weekends with their grandparents in the summers.
Edward & Jimmy: Eddie hasn’t spoken to Bill & Florence for 17 years, as they disliked Melissa and wouldn’t support their marriage. As such, they shut Eddie out and have never met Jimmy, despite knowing that Eddie divorced Melissa. They’ve never made an effort to know Jimmy, despite knowing OF him.
Everette & Emeline: Everette and Emeline aren’t overly close to their parents, but they see them now and again. They don’t dislike their parents, but they aren’t really overly fond of them. However, they’re not big fans of Emeline’s beau.
Estera & Gabe Wilkes, 38 & 51 years old Lynn Collins & Josh Holloway
Estera and Gabe met at Estera’s highschool graduation. He was one of her friends’ uncles. The two flirted and started dating in secret, keeping their relationship rather hush hush, so as to not make things awkward between Estera and her friend. The two became very serious very fast, despite their age difference. They got married quickly, and had their first child within the year. Everette jokes that it was a shotgun wedding. Gabe is a business lawyer and works at the brewery in the legal department, as well as working with a few other local companies. Estera is a housewife, and does some tailoring out of her home.
Relationships Xander, Addison, & Olivia; Gave and Estera’s children. They’re close to them, but let them have free reign. To say that they’re a little spoiled is an understatement. They do make their kids work for what they get, but Estera has a tendency to just give them money behind her husband’s back.
Xander, Addison, & Olivia Wilkes, 18 & 16 years old Jace Norman, Chiara Aurelia, & Kitana Turnball
The oldest of the Wilkes kids. Xander attends a private school in the next town over, just like his sisters. Addison and Xander are known to butt heads plenty, while Olivia sits off to the side, posting on her social media. She thinks she’s an influencer on tiktok and Instagram....Of the three, Addison is the most grounded, as she prides herself in being a good student, and is very aware of how spoiled she and her siblings are. Xander, however, is just an asshole, unfortunately. He plays football, Addison is on the Swim Team and in the marching band, and Olivia...well, Olivia has lots of friends....
Relationships Emeline; Their aunt. They all like her, and Olivia always tries to get Olivia to make appearances on her tiktok, though Olivia really isn’t interested in the kind of videos Olivia does. Xander and Emeline get on well, and will sit and talk for hours about the latest trends. Addison struggles, because she and Emeline don’t have much in common. But Emeline always goes out of her way to take an interest
Edward Baudelaire 40 years old Jeffrey Dean Morgan
The father of Jimmy Baudelaire. Eddie's originally from Loreauville in Iberia Parish. He played football and lacrosse in high school. Eddie left for University of Washington on a scholarship, and studied engineering, though he had a passion for cars and motorcycles. He was a very friendly young man, and met his wife, Melissa, during spring break. The two became close, despite his friends disliking her, and eventually got married. Eddie worked hard to support Melissa’s life style, which was very lavish. The couple often fought, and Eddie was practically disowned for marrying her. Eddie became a single parent not long after his son was born. He raised Jimmy and opened his own garage, which has done very well. Everything aside, Eddie’s a pretty happy person. He volunteers as a lacrosse coach at the highschool.
Relationships Lakelyn; The absolute love of Eddie’s life. He met her at the highschool when he was called in to deal with Jimmy getting in a fight. The two started with a purely physical relationship, but felt a mutual jealousy of the other sleeping with other people, and finally became a couple. Eddie’s the happiest with her that he’s ever been.
Melissa; Eddie and Melissa got married when Eddie was just out of college. She was disliked by all of his friends, and his family. But he went along with it anyways. Melissa gave Eddie his son, Jimmy, and left them only a couple days after the baby was born. Eddie got full custody of their son, and the two speak once every other year, when she remembers to call for Jimmy’s birthday. IF she remembers.
Eve & Richard Winters; Melissa’s sister and brother-in-law. Eve and Eddie were good friends from the get go, and the couple supported Eddie when Jimmy was a newborn, letting the two move in together while they got back on their feet. Richard can be a real asshole, and the two are known to clash, espcially when it comes to the kids. Eve, however, makes sure to take time out of her week to hang out with Eddie, so she can keep up with his and Jimmy’s lives.
James Baudelaire, 16 years old Finn Wolfhard
Eddie’s son. He’s incredibly smart, and crazy independent. Jimmy doesn’t really know his mother, and never holds his breath to speak to her. Though he’s a little awkward at school, he makes friends fast, and is often out hanging with them. He doesn’t really like sports, but signed up for lacrosse in an attempt to not let his dad down. He’s alright at it? Jimmy is trying to explore who he is and has recently been learning about the ace community. He entered into the high school and skipped a grade, which made things weird for him, and a target of bullying. But he’s made good friends who have been doing their best to help him stay safe and defend himself.
Relationships Lakelyn; Jimmy was sort of just...absorbed into the lacrosse group, and found himself attached to Lake. He looks at her like an older sister, and appreciates all the trouble she gets into trying to help him out. She’s been great at helping him adapt to high school, and he likes how she always makes him feel included.
Mikayla Winters; Jimmy’s cousin. She’s mean to him in school, but only SHE is allowed to be mean to him. He watched her verbally destroy a cheerleader one day when she called him a loser. But he knows Kayla can be a colossal bitch.
Everette & Emeline; Both his aunt and uncle have reached out to try and get to know Jimmy. they’re not super close, but he knows they’re trying. They call him once in a while, though Eddie doesn’t know.
Everette Baudelaire 35 years old Henry Cavill
One of the Baudelaire children. Everett is a detective in town, and enjoys his work, though it leaves him somewhat secluded since he spends much time working on cases. He’s always been the child who was more or less left to his own devices, and he’s always liked it that way. As great as everyone usually is, being left alone was always easier, especially when it came to trying to deal with his parents. They’d always gone overboard, but it got worse when his older brother left, so he did what he could to make sure they left him alone and focused on Emeline. Everette does seem to get on well with people, and as such is very good with interviewing suspects. He met his girlfriend at a bar, and they hit it off very quickly. Despite her being engaged, the two continue a relationship behind her fiancé's back. She lives with her younger sister, who Everette has started seeing when she’s not around.
Relationships Eddie: Everette’s older brother who he always looked up to.
Jimmy: Everette didn’t even know Jimmy existed for a while, but has gone to the effort to try and know him.
Emeline: Everette’s closest to Emeline. Despite a 6 year age difference, the two were always causing chaos together. He isn’t a huge fan of some of her choices, but at least he can still hang out with her.
Emeline Baudelaire 29 years old Olivia Culpo
A beautiful young lady. Emeline is the hometown sweetheart. If you don’t know her, you know of her. Everyone thinks she’s the sweetest thing, though her siblings know better. She has the temper of an old southern woman. Her parents have always been proud of her, though. She took part in a couple pageants when she was in junior high, which helped to pay for her college tuition, and her mother made sure to go through the typical debutante presentation. She didn’t mind it, though the idea wasn’t exactly appealing. Emeline is babied and adored by her brothers, though she and Estera aren’t close at all. Being the only child without a career, to her parents’ knowledge, Bill assumes she’ll be taking over as CEO of the brewery, though Florence doesn’t want her boyfriend’s hands on it, as she thinks that he’s only around in the hopes of Emeline coming into some money.
Relationships Rhett Boudreaux; Emeline’s boyfriend. The two have known each other practically her whole life, as Rhett was and still is Eddie’s best friend. Rhett works on an oil rig, so she only sees him every other month. It’s hard, but Rhett’s always been willing to make it work, and the two are crazy for each other.
Jimmy; Emeline’s nephew. She’s never met him in person, but she’s made an effort to try and know him once she found out he even existed. She likes him and thinks he’s a smart kid.
The Drake Family A family from Washington State.
Niles & Virginia Drake, 75 & 74 years old Timothy Dalton & Stockard Channing
Niles and Virginia grew up in Washington. They were childhood sweethearts, growing up next door to each other. Virginia was always the more social of the two, and would often be the one asking Niles to play. The two were more than happy to spend time together, and when they were old enough, began seeing each other. Their parents were ecstatic. Niles worked at the local grocery store, and Virginia took a job as a waitress. They bought a small house and were happy. Niles eventually got a job as a banker, working his way up the corporate ladder. Eventually, the two had three daughters. They live happily in Washington, and keep in contact with their children and grandchildren.
Relationships Melissa, Edith, & Taylor; the couple’s three daughters. They love them all very much, though they know they, unfortunately, spoiled Melissa. They know she’s a bit of...well, a bitch. They appreciate the girls for who they are and how they act.
Eddie & Jimmy; Niles & Virginia have always felt bad for what happened between Melissa and Eddie, and everything he lost for it. They’ve made sure to help Eddie when they can, and they absolutely love Jimmy. They spent plenty of days and evenings with him when he was very small, taking care of him while Eddie worked.
Melissa Stravinsky, 50 years old Famke Janssen
A beautiful woman, Melissa’s always been known as a maneater, so it was a shock to everyone when she got in a serious relationship. Melissa was spoiled by her parents, and moved to California on their dime. She jumped from job to job while her parents paid all her bills, and studied Interior Design. She jumped between men constantly, and met Eddie at her job when he was on spring break from college. She started dating him on and off when he went back home to Washington, and eventually moved back to Washington after he graduated. She was restless, and got annoyed by Eddie easily, who worked hard to provide her with the life she wanted to live. The two married when she found out she was pregnant. Melissa left Eddie after she gave birth, and the two divorced quickly. Melissa lives in southern California with her new husband, running her own interior design business.
Relationships Eddie Baudelaire; Melissa thought Eddie was attractive enough, but she wasn’t too serious with him at first. She knew Eddie was from money, and that was all that mattered. She hated Eddie’s friends and the way he dressed. She filed for the divorce and was happy to have it over with quickly.
Jimmy Baudelaire; Melissa’s only child. She really felt no attachment to Jimmy, and really hadn’t even wanted children, though Eddie did. She didn’t name him, and left him and his father as soon as she could. She barely knows Jimmy, but uses him as a pawn to hold over one of her younger sister’s head.
Clifford Stravinsky; A rich divorcee that Melissa met at a bar. The two married quickly after meeting. He’s a nice enough man, but clicks well with Melissa. Clifford has a daughter, but he only sees her on holidays and school events.
Eve & Richard Winters, 41 & 56 years old Kathryn Hahn & Ralph Fiennes
Eve is the middle child. Eve wasn’t overly popular when she was younger, but was well liked, and had plenty of friends. She’s more catty than her younger sister, but doesn’t reach near the heights of bitch that Melissa does. She’s always been more fun than her husband, happily drinking with her friends and laughing with her brothers in law. She works part time in a salon. Her husband, Richard, is the principal at the local high school, and he can be rather stuck up, a product of his upbringing. The two were set up on a blind date by a friend of her dad. They weren’t exactly the best match, but Eve somehow found herself marrying him, and the two had two children. Eve and Richard are pretty indifferent to each other.
Relationships Rosemary & Mikayla; Their daughters. they love them very much, despite Mikayla’s attitude. She’s spoiled by her father, while her mother constantly tries to tell her she can’t treat people the way she does. Rosemary was the perfect child, but Eve still checks in on her, worried she’s gonna have some sort of breakdown.
Eddie; Eve gets along with Eddie better than Richard. Richard is a little scared of him. Intimidated. Eve just finds him good company and likes to drink with him.
Rosemary Winters, 21 years old Phoebe Dynevor
The oldest of Eve & Richard’s kids. Rosemary is a sweet girl who was well known in her small town, as she was considered a golden child, the opposite of her younger sister. Rosemary happily helped in the community and at her school, and took part in several events. She loves her little sister, but could never condone the way she behaved, and was always bewildered by how okay her dad could be with how she acts, surprised when he even seemed to encourage her attitude. Rosemary decided to move away for college, though not too far, only a few hours away to Seattle. She wasn’t sure what she wanted to study, and is now finishing her second year of general, though her father wants her to become an educator.
Relationships Mikayla Winters; Rosemary’s younger sister. They used to be close until Mikayla started acting like an utter monster. She doesn’t approve of how Mikayla treats other people, but still tries to spend some time with her whenever she visits.
Jimmy Baudelaire; Rosemary’s favorite cousin. Jimmy and Rosemary had always gotten along, despite the 5 year difference. She’s always treated him well, which her uncle’s always appreciated. Jimmy often will come by to see her when he and his dad come to Seattle for any reason. He likes going to the bookstore with her so they can look at books together.
Atticus Whitlock; Rosemary’s boyfriend. She met him through her roommate. She’s been too nervous to introduce him to her parents.
Mikayla Winters, 18 years old Sasha Pieterse
A cruel young lady, Mikayla gets her kicks from being popular at school and making sure that everyone feels less than her. She prides herself on how easily she can take someone down socially, and is known to be very self serving. Mikayla is a cheerleader, and makes sure the school knows that she is the principal’s daughter. She is a cheerleader, though not the head, as her bad attitude has kept her from that position. Mikayla always gets her way, be it from earning it or from crying and fitting until someone gives in, usually her father who believes she deserves all the best things in the world. Her mother hates her attitude.
Relationships Jared Fahkry; Mikayla’s boyfriend. She’s not very nice to him, but he’s rich and popular, so he’s the perfect fit. Jared’s pretty oblivious to a good chunk of her mistreatment, unless it’s pointed out to him. Some people think they deserve each other, because they’re both assholes in their own ways.
Taylor & Geoffrey Osburne, 32 & 40 years old Elizabeth Olsen & Paul Bettany
Taylor is the youngest sister of Eve and Melissa, and was always teased by Melissa when they were kids, though she and Eve would often go off and play together. She was always very sensitive to her surroundings, and would sometimes cry if Melissa killed spiders around her, because she could’ve just taken it outside. She met Geoffrey when she was in her 20′s, and the two got together soon after. Geoffrey was a computer analyst for a large company. The two were dating steadily for quite some time before they finally got married when Taylor was 25. The couple tried for children immediately, and have been struggling ever since. They recently discovered that they may have trouble having children due to medical issues. They’ve agreed to continue trying, but are also trying to adopt.
Relationships Melissa; Melissa is Taylor’s oldest sister and a colossal bitch. She is always shaming her sister for her and her husband’s fertility issues and holds her son (who she barely knows) over her head, though she’s always trying to be subtle about it when their parents are around. It still bothers Taylor sometimes.
The SOs
Rhett Boudreaux, 40 years old Norman Reedus
A Louisiana native, Rhett was born and bred in the Bayou. He has always been a very friendly man and more than willing to help someone in need. He was a good friend of Eddie’s through the years, despite Eddie’s mother looking down on him as though he were trash, since his family wasn’t as well off. But Rhett never wanted for anything and was content. He used to spend a lot of time helping Eddie fix an old Bayou Boat they found, and eventually got it working. Rhett played football with Eddie, and would hang out with him and his siblings a lot. Estera didn’t like him. He works on an oil rig and began dating Emeline only a couple months ago.
Relationships Emeline Baudelaire; Rhett’s girlfriend. She’s the little sister of his best friend, and he’s known her most of their lives. They were always on good terms with each other, and Rhett didn’t even recognize her when he came home and saw her in a bar. He wants to make it work, even though he only gets to see her every other month, and he appreciates that she’s trying to make it work as well.
Eddie Baudelaire; Rhett’s best friend since childhood. They met when they were very little, and spent an absurd amount of time together. Rhett visits Eddie up in Washington when he gets the chance, but it’s not very often. He was very supportive of Eddie when he married Melissa because it seemed to make him happy, and even more supportive during the divorce.
Atticus Whitlock, 25 years old Regé-Jean Page
A young Med student. Atticus is from London, and moved to Seattle for college. He lives with some friends in a small townhouse that’s part of the off-campus housing program. Atticus was very good in school and known as a little bit of a player. He’s improved his behavior and wants to be the best he can be for his girlfriend. He’s attending a surgical residency as Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Relationships Rosemary Winters; Atticus’ girlfriend. He thinks the absolute world of her. He thinks she’s incredibly smart and has been trying to help her figure out what she wants to do. He doesn’t hold it against her that she hasn’t taken him to meet her parents.
Jared Fahkry, 19 years old Mena Moussad
A young local boy. Jared is Mikayla’s boyfriend. The two are almost a match made in heaven. Despite her being a bitch to him and all his friends, Jared doesn’t care. He’s a bit of a player, sleeping around quite a bit. But he’s a nice enough guy when he wants to be. Jared comes from a rich family, and can tend to be a bit of an asshole about it, often unintentionally making fun of his friends who aren’t as fortunate as him.
Relationships Mikayla Winters; Jared’s girlfriend. It’s a lose lose situation between the two of them. He cheats on her, she cheats on him. But they’ve survived this long on and off. His friends don’t like them dating, since she’s such a bitch to them all.
Lakelyn Reynolds Brianna Hildebrand
A sweet young lady. Lakelyn is well liked by her friends, and a fair bit of the school know not to mess with her. Lake’s not afraid to speak her mind and do as she pleases. She doesn’t care what people thing. She's a good kid, and the only daughter of Charlie Reynolds. The two are close, and supported each other greatly during her mother's cancer and death. She is one of the stars of her lacrosse team, and has made good friends on the team, though she knows some of the boys look at her in...less than savory ways.
Relationships Eddie Baudelaire; Lake’s lacrosse coach and boyfriend. the two are absolutely crazy about each other, and Eddie would happily do anything for Lake that she asked.
Jimmy Baudelaire; Eddie’s son, and one of Lake’s friends. She met him after standing up for him in school. He thinks lake’s just the coolest and she likes being around him.

(via What happened to Quawan “Bobby” Charles)
It's been two weeks since 15-year-old Quawan "Bobby" Charles disappeared from his father's Baldwin home in St. Mary Parish and 10 days since officers discovered his body in the rural Iberia Parish village of Loreauville. Little information has been released by law enforcement in the case, which gained widespread attention after Bobby's family released a graphic image they say was taken while confirming the teen's identity to authorities.

Quawan Charles
Quawan Charles, a 15-year-old went missing in rural Louisiana on October 30. His body was discovered days later in a sugarcane field, 20 miles from his home; the sheriff’s department told his family that the boy had drowned.
Quawan’s parents reported his disappearance from his father’s home in Baldwin, Louisiana, where he had recently moved, on October 30. He had just started a new school. Quawan’s father, Kenneth Jacko, says that part of the reason why he was concerned about Quawan’s whereabouts was that he had left his beloved dog, who he had named “My Baby,” behind. Quawan’s family attorney says that the Baldwin Police Department took a report, but “gave no indication over the next few days that they were searching for the teen or actively investigating his disappearance,” per the Washington Post. “Instead, they suggested Quawan might have gone to a football game and asked if the boy had a troubled past, he said.”
His family says Quawan was with a friend, 17-year-old Gavin Irvin, and Irwin’s mother, Janet, in neighboring Iberia Parish before he died. Jacko told the Post that they learned through a third party that the Irvins picked Quawan up the day he went missing at around 3 p.m., while Jacko was at the store. The Post reports that “Quawan’s father said neither he nor Quawan’s mother knew the Irvins, who are white, and had not given them permission to take Quawan.”
On November 17, Baldwin police released surveillance footage they say depicts Quawan getting picked up by a car on October 30. In the video, a figure, said to be Quawan, sits by the side of the road outside a home before getting up to run toward a car that pulls into the driveway. Two individuals appear to leave the car; eventually, three people get back in and drive off. According to Assistant Chief Sam Wise, police believe that, before reentering the car, Quawan and the two individuals, presumed to be the Irvins, entered the backyard of his father’s home to play with Quawan’s dog. Gavin Irvin had given Quawan the dog, according to his father. “There was no signs of a kidnapping or abduction at that time,” Wise said of the video’s contents.
Gavin Irvin confirmed that he and Quawan had been together on October 30 but said that Quawan had left later in the day. beria Parish police found Quawan’s body in a sugarcane field later that day, in the small community of Loreauville not far from the Irvin’s home.
The police are not investegating anyone about this. I don’t see anyone talking about Quawan Charles, reblog and say his name.

The Baudelaire Family
A family from Loreauville, Louisiana in Iberia Parish.
Bill & Florence Baudelaire, 78 & 65 years old Ian McShane & Imelda Staunton
Bill & Florence met at the diner Florence was working at. Bill was relentless, coming every day and trying to get her number or a date. It took him a week to wear her down, and the two went to the drive in together. Bill was old money and Florence’s parents owned the diner she worked at. They got married three years later in the Spring. Bill & Florence invested the Baudelaire fortune in local fishermen, and Florence bought her parents’ diner when they retired to keep it running. Bill developed a fondness for brewing, and opened a small local brewery in Loreauville. They eventually had their four children, Estera & Edward, Everette, and Emeline. Though they love all their children, they weren’t fond of Eddie’s choices, and as such, haven’t spoken to him in 17 years.
Relationships Estera, Gabe, Xander, Addison, & Olivia; Bill & Florence’s second oldest child. They are all very close, and the children will often spend the weekends with their grandparents in the summers.
Edward & Jimmy: Eddie hasn’t spoken to Bill & Florence for 17 years, as they disliked Melissa and wouldn’t support their marriage. As such, they shut Eddie out and have never met Jimmy, despite knowing that Eddie divorced Melissa. They’ve never made an effort to know Jimmy, despite knowing OF him.
Everette & Emeline: Everette and Emeline aren’t overly close to their parents, but they see them now and again. They don’t dislike their parents, but they aren’t really overly fond of them. However, they’re not big fans of Emeline’s beau.
Estera & Gabe Wilkes, 38 & 51 years old Lynn Collins & Josh Holloway
Estera and Gabe met at Estera’s highschool graduation. He was one of her friends’ uncles. The two flirted and started dating in secret, keeping their relationship rather hush hush, so as to not make things awkward between Estera and her friend. The two became very serious very fast, despite their age difference. They got married quickly, and had their first child within the year. Everette jokes that it was a shotgun wedding. Gabe is a business lawyer and works at the brewery in the legal department, as well as working with a few other local companies. Estera is a housewife, and does some tailoring out of her home.
Relationships Xander, Addison, & Olivia; Gave and Estera’s children. They’re close to them, but let them have free reign. To say that they’re a little spoiled is an understatement. They do make their kids work for what they get, but Estera has a tendency to just give them money behind her husband’s back.
Xander, Addison, & Olivia Wilkes, 18 & 16 years old Jace Norman, Chiara Aurelia, & Kitana Turnball
The oldest of the Wilkes kids. Xander attends a private school in the next town over, just like his sisters. Addison and Xander are known to butt heads plenty, while Olivia sits off to the side, posting on her social media. She thinks she’s an influencer on tiktok and Instagram....Of the three, Addison is the most grounded, as she prides herself in being a good student, and is very aware of how spoiled she and her siblings are. Xander, however, is just an asshole, unfortunately. He plays football, Addison is on the Swim Team and in the marching band, and Olivia...well, Olivia has lots of friends....
Relationships Emeline; Their aunt. They all like her, and Olivia always tries to get Olivia to make appearances on her tiktok, though Olivia really isn’t interested in the kind of videos Olivia does. Xander and Emeline get on well, and will sit and talk for hours about the latest trends. Addison struggles, because she and Emeline don’t have much in common. But Emeline always goes out of her way to take an interest

He volunteers as a lacrosse coach at the highschool.
Relationships Lakelyn; The absolute love of Eddie’s life. He met her at the highschool when he was called in to deal with Jimmy getting in a fight. The two started with a purely physical relationship, but felt a mutual jealousy of the other sleeping with other people, and finally became a couple. Eddie’s the happiest with her that he’s ever been.

Melissa gave Eddie his son, Jimmy, and left them only a couple days after the baby was born.

Eve & Richard Winters; Melissa’s sister and brother-in-law. Eve and Eddie were good friends from the get go, and the couple supported Eddie when Jimmy was a newborn, letting the two move in together while they got back on their feet. Richard can be a real asshole, and the two are known to clash, espcially when it comes to the kids. Eve, however, makes sure to take time out of her week to hang out with Eddie, so she can keep up with his and Jimmy’s lives.
James Baudelaire, 16 years old Finn Wolfhard
Eddie’s son. He’s incredibly smart, and crazy independent. Jimmy doesn’t really know his mother, and never holds his breath to speak to her. Though he’s a little awkward at school, he makes friends fast, and is often out hanging with them. He doesn’t really like sports, but signed up for lacrosse in an attempt to not let his dad down. He’s alright at it? Jimmy is trying to explore who he is and has recently been learning about the ace community. He entered into the high school and skipped a grade, which made things weird for him, and a target of bullying. But he’s made good friends who have been doing their best to help him stay safe and defend himself.
Relationships Lakelyn; Jimmy was sort of just...absorbed into the lacrosse group, and found himself attached to Lake. He looks at her like an older sister, and appreciates all the trouble she gets into trying to help him out. She’s been great at helping him adapt to high school, and he likes how she always makes him feel included.
Mikayla Winters; Jimmy’s cousin. She’s mean to him in school, but only SHE is allowed to be mean to him. He watched her verbally destroy a cheerleader one day when she called him a loser. But he knows Kayla can be a colossal bitch.
Everette & Emeline; Both his aunt and uncle have reached out to try and get to know Jimmy. they’re not super close, but he knows they’re trying. They call him once in a while, though Eddie doesn’t know.
Everette Baudelaire 35 years old Henry Cavill
One of the Baudelaire children. Everett is a detective in town, and enjoys his work, though it leaves him somewhat secluded since he spends much time working on cases. He’s always been the child who was more or less left to his own devices, and he’s always liked it that way. As great as everyone usually is, being left alone was always easier, especially when it came to trying to deal with his parents. They’d always gone overboard, but it got worse when his older brother left, so he did what he could to make sure they left him alone and focused on Emeline. Everette does seem to get on well with people, and as such is very good with interviewing suspects. He met his girlfriend at a bar, and they hit it off very quickly. Despite her being engaged, the two continue a relationship behind her fiancé's back. She lives with her younger sister, who Everette has started seeing when she’s not around.
Relationships Eddie: Everette’s older brother who he always looked up to.
Jimmy: Everette didn’t even know Jimmy existed for a while, but has gone to the effort to try and know him.
Emeline: Everette’s closest to Emeline. Despite a 6 year age difference, the two were always causing chaos together. He isn’t a huge fan of some of her choices, but at least he can still hang out with her.
Emeline Baudelaire 29 years old Olivia Culpo
A beautiful young lady. Emeline is the hometown sweetheart. If you don’t know her, you know of her. Everyone thinks she’s the sweetest thing, though her siblings know better. She has the temper of an old southern woman. Her parents have always been proud of her, though. She took part in a couple pageants when she was in junior high, which helped to pay for her college tuition, and her mother made sure to go through the typical debutante presentation. She didn’t mind it, though the idea wasn’t exactly appealing. Emeline is babied and adored by her brothers, though she and Estera aren’t close at all. Being the only child without a career, to her parents’ knowledge, Bill assumes she’ll be taking over as CEO of the brewery, though Florence doesn’t want her boyfriend’s hands on it, as she thinks that he’s only around in the hopes of Emeline coming into some money.
Relationships Rhett Boudreaux; Emeline’s boyfriend. The two have known each other practically her whole life, as Rhett was and still is Eddie’s best friend. Rhett works on an oil rig, so she only sees him every other month. It’s hard, but Rhett’s always been willing to make it work, and the two are crazy for each other.
Jimmy; Emeline’s nephew. She’s never met him in person, but she’s made an effort to try and know him once she found out he even existed. She likes him and thinks he’s a smart kid.
The Drake Family
Niles & Virginia Drake, 75 & 74 years old Timothy Dalton & Stockard Channing
Niles and Virginia grew up in Washington. They were childhood sweethearts, growing up next door to each other. Virginia was always the more social of the two, and would often be the one asking Niles to play. The two were more than happy to spend time together, and when they were old enough, began seeing each other. Their parents were ecstatic. Niles worked at the local grocery store, and Virginia took a job as a waitress. They bought a small house and were happy. Niles eventually got a job as a banker, working his way up the corporate ladder. Eventually, the two had three daughters. They live happily in Washington, and keep in contact with their children and grandchildren.
Relationships Melissa, Edith, & Taylor; the couple’s three daughters. They love them all very much, though they know they, unfortunately, spoiled Melissa. They know she’s a bit of...well, a bitch. They appreciate the girls for who they are and how they act.
Eddie & Jimmy; Niles & Virginia have always felt bad for what happened between Melissa and Eddie, and everything he lost for it. They’ve made sure to help Eddie when they can, and they absolutely love Jimmy. They spent plenty of days and evenings with him when he was very small, taking care of him while Eddie worked.
Melissa Stravinsky, 50 years old Famke Janssen
A beautiful woman, Melissa’s always been known as a maneater, so it was a shock to everyone when she got in a serious relationship. Melissa was spoiled by her parents, and moved to California on their dime. She jumped from job to job while her parents paid all her bills, and studied Interior Design. She jumped between men constantly, and met Eddie at her job when he was on spring break from college. She started dating him on and off when he went back home to Washington, and eventually moved back to Washington after he graduated. She was restless, and got annoyed by Eddie easily, who worked hard to provide her with the life she wanted to live. The two married when she found out she was pregnant. Melissa left Eddie after she gave birth, and the two divorced quickly. Melissa lives in southern California with her new husband, running her own interior design business.
Relationships Eddie Baudelaire; Melissa thought Eddie was attractive enough, but she wasn’t too serious with him at first. She knew Eddie was from money, and that was all that mattered. She hated Eddie’s friends and the way he dressed. She filed for the divorce and was happy to have it over with quickly.
Jimmy Baudelaire; Melissa’s only child. She really felt no attachment to Jimmy, and really hadn’t even wanted children, though Eddie did. She didn’t name him, and left him and his father as soon as she could. She barely knows Jimmy, but uses him as a pawn to hold over one of her younger sister’s head.
Clifford Stravinsky; A rich divorcee that Melissa met at a bar. The two married quickly after meeting. He’s a nice enough man, but clicks well with Melissa. Clifford has a daughter, but he only sees her on holidays and school events.
Eve & Richard Winters, 41 & 56 years old Kathryn Hahn & Ralph Fiennes
Eve is the middle child. Eve wasn’t overly popular when she was younger, but was well liked, and had plenty of friends. She’s more catty than her younger sister, but doesn’t reach near the heights of bitch that Melissa does. She’s always been more fun than her husband, happily drinking with her friends and laughing with her brothers in law. She works part time in a salon. Her husband, Richard, is the principal at the local high school, and he can be rather stuck up, a product of his upbringing. The two were set up on a blind date by a friend of her dad. They weren’t exactly the best match, but Eve somehow found herself marrying him, and the two had two children. Eve and Richard are pretty indifferent to each other.
Relationships Rosemary & Mikayla; Their daughters. they love them very much, despite Mikayla’s attitude. She’s spoiled by her father, while her mother constantly tries to tell her she can’t treat people the way she does. Rosemary was the perfect child, but Eve still checks in on her, worried she’s gonna have some sort of breakdown.
Eddie; Eve gets along with Eddie better than Richard. Richard is a little scared of him. Intimidated. Eve just finds him good company and likes to drink with him.
Rosemary Winters, 21 years old Phoebe Dynevor
The oldest of Eve & Richard’s kids. Rosemary is a sweet girl who was well known in her small town, as she was considered a golden child, the opposite of her younger sister. Rosemary happily helped in the community and at her school, and took part in several events. She loves her little sister, but could never condone the way she behaved, and was always bewildered by how okay her dad could be with how she acts, surprised when he even seemed to encourage her attitude. Rosemary decided to move away for college, though not too far, only a few hours away to Seattle. She wasn’t sure what she wanted to study, and is now finishing her second year of general, though her father wants her to become an educator.
Relationships Mikayla Winters; Rosemary’s younger sister. They used to be close until Mikayla started acting like an utter monster. She doesn’t approve of how Mikayla treats other people, but still tries to spend some time with her whenever she visits.
Jimmy Baudelaire; Rosemary’s favorite cousin. Jimmy and Rosemary had always gotten along, despite the 5 year difference. She’s always treated him well, which her uncle’s always appreciated. Jimmy often will come by to see her when he and his dad come to Seattle for any reason. He likes going to the bookstore with her so they can look at books together.
Atticus Whitlock; Rosemary’s boyfriend. She met him through her roommate. She’s been too nervous to introduce him to her parents.
Mikayla Winters, 18 years old Sasha Pieterse
A cruel young lady, Mikayla gets her kicks from being popular at school and making sure that everyone feels less than her. She prides herself on how easily she can take someone down socially, and is known to be very self serving. Mikayla is a cheerleader, and makes sure the school knows that she is the principal’s daughter. She is a cheerleader, though not the head, as her bad attitude has kept her from that position. Mikayla always gets her way, be it from earning it or from crying and fitting until someone gives in, usually her father who believes she deserves all the best things in the world. Her mother hates her attitude.
Relationships Jared Fahkry; Mikayla’s boyfriend. She’s not very nice to him, but he’s rich and popular, so he’s the perfect fit. Jared’s pretty oblivious to a good chunk of her mistreatment, unless it’s pointed out to him. Some people think they deserve each other, because they’re both assholes in their own ways.
Taylor & Geoffrey Osburne, 32 & 40 years old Elizabeth Olsen & Paul Bettany
Taylor is the youngest sister of Eve and Melissa, and was always teased by Melissa when they were kids, though she and Eve would often go off and play together. She was always very sensitive to her surroundings, and would sometimes cry if Melissa killed spiders around her, because she could’ve just taken it outside. She met Geoffrey when she was in her 20′s, and the two got together soon after. Geoffrey was a computer analyst for a large company. The two were dating steadily for quite some time before they finally got married when Taylor was 25. The couple tried for children immediately, and have been struggling ever since. They recently discovered that they may have trouble having children due to medical issues. They’ve agreed to continue trying, but are also trying to adopt.
Relationships Melissa; Melissa is Taylor’s oldest sister and a colossal bitch. She is always shaming her sister for her and her husband’s fertility issues and holds her son (who she barely knows) over her head, though she’s always trying to be subtle about it when their parents are around. It still bothers Taylor sometimes.
The SOs
Rhett Boudreaux, 40 years old Norman Reedus
A Louisiana native, Rhett was born and bred in the Bayou. He has always been a very friendly man and more than willing to help someone in need. He was a good friend of Eddie’s through the years, despite Eddie’s mother looking down on him as though he were trash, since his family wasn’t as well off. But Rhett never wanted for anything and was content. He used to spend a lot of time helping Eddie fix an old Bayou Boat they found, and eventually got it working. Rhett played football with Eddie, and would hang out with him and his siblings a lot. Estera didn’t like him. He works on an oil rig and began dating Emeline only a couple months ago.
Relationships Emeline Baudelaire; Rhett’s girlfriend. She’s the little sister of his best friend, and he’s known her most of their lives. They were always on good terms with each other, and Rhett didn’t even recognize her when he came home and saw her in a bar. He wants to make it work, even though he only gets to see her every other month, and he appreciates that she’s trying to make it work as well.
Eddie Baudelaire; Rhett’s best friend since childhood. They met when they were very little, and spent an absurd amount of time together. Rhett visits Eddie up in Washington when he gets the chance, but it’s not very often. He was very supportive of Eddie when he married Melissa because it seemed to make him happy, and even more supportive during the divorce.
Atticus Whitlock, 25 years old Regé-Jean Page
A young Med student. Atticus is from London, and moved to Seattle for college. He lives with some friends in a small townhouse that’s part of the off-campus housing program. Atticus was very good in school and known as a little bit of a player. He’s improved his behavior and wants to be the best he can be for his girlfriend. He’s attending a surgical residency as Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Relationships Rosemary Winters; Atticus’ girlfriend. He thinks the absolute world of her. He thinks she’s incredibly smart and has been trying to help her figure out what she wants to do. He doesn’t hold it against her that she hasn’t taken him to meet her parents.
Jared Fahkry, 19 years old Mena Moussad
A young local boy. Jared is Mikayla’s boyfriend. The two are almost a match made in heaven. Despite her being a bitch to him and all his friends, Jared doesn’t care. He’s a bit of a player, sleeping around quite a bit. But he’s a nice enough guy when he wants to be. Jared comes from a rich family, and can tend to be a bit of an asshole about it, often unintentionally making fun of his friends who aren’t as fortunate as him.
Relationships Mikayla Winters; Jared’s girlfriend. It’s a lose lose situation between the two of them. He cheats on her, she cheats on him. But they’ve survived this long on and off. His friends don’t like them dating, since she’s such a bitch to them all.
Lakelyn Reynolds Brianna Hildebrand
A sweet young lady. Lakelyn is well liked by her friends, and a fair bit of the school know not to mess with her. Lake’s not afraid to speak her mind and do as she pleases. She doesn’t care what people thing. She's a good kid, and the only daughter of Charlie Reynolds. The two are close, and supported each other greatly during her mother's cancer and death. She is one of the stars of her lacrosse team, and has made good friends on the team, though she knows some of the boys look at her in...less than savory ways.
Relationships Eddie Baudelaire; Lake’s lacrosse coach and boyfriend. the two are absolutely crazy about each other, and Eddie would happily do anything for Lake that she asked.
Jimmy Baudelaire; Eddie’s son, and one of Lake’s friends. She met him after standing up for him in school. He thinks lake’s just the coolest and she likes being around him.

On October 30th of this year, a 15 year old, beautiful, black boy named Quawan Charles “Bobby” went missing. And was found lynched on November 2nd near Loreauville, Louisiana. I can’t even bring myself to show how mutilated his face had become. How unrecognizable like another #EmmitTill. He was last seen with a peer and that peer’s guardian without consent of Charles’ guardians. The Baldwin Police Department continue to refuse to be cooperative with his family. The Charles’ family just want answers. To know what happened to their baby boy. #JUSTICEFORQUAWAN https://www.instagram.com/p/CHefIjBgnwy/?igshid=65zpw5tee7cn

Child with the blues, or, “Eve’s Bayou” turns 20

I honestly didn’t realize that the movie was this old already. Explains why I’ve seen a couple of different retrospectives of it this week.
It really is one of my favorite films of all time (if that’s quite the right word to use for a film that ends in a weirdly dark place). I have it on a positively ancient DVD, and also the soundtrack CD somewhere. (And again: it’s 20 years old, people.)
All of the performances in it are amazing.
It’s a lovely, somewhat depressing, spectacular directing debut by Kasi Lemmons.
Interesting the different artistic and social place we’re in now. Even allowing that it was a period film at the time -- it takes place in the 1960s -- I’m not sure you could shoot the event that spins the family out of control. I think people would simply not be willing to accept it shown on screen.
The trailer is ... odd. Despite the fact that everything you see in it actually occurs on screen, once you get past the first 30 seconds or so, it somehow makes it look like a different movie than it is. And yet, everything in it is from the film.

20 Years Later, Eve’s Bayou Is Still a Stunning Portrait of Black American Life By Angelica Jade Bastién (vulture.com)

I don’t quite remember the first summer I went to Loreauville, Louisiana. But I distinctly recall the emotions of returning to those acres of land, where my great-grandfather built a home we’ve called our own for 100 years — awe and glory, love and hope, and a twinge of melancholy. These same emotions take hold whenever I watch Eve’s Bayou, the debut of writer-director Kasi Lemmons, which premiered 20 years ago this month and uses rural Louisiana as the setting of its spellbinding tale about a young black girl’s adolescence. Perhaps that’s why it’s the only film my mother and I agree on. Its luxurious textures, melancholy mood, and the Creole that passes the lips of the black characters remind us both, in unique ways, of Loreauville.
The film operates deftly on multiple levels: It’s a stunning coming-of-age tale (an exceedingly rare example of one that privileges the experience of young black girls); an honest, hyperspecific portrait of black life in rural Louisiana; and one of the greatest writer-director debuts in American cinematic history....
HAUNTING MAGIC: ON "EVE'S BAYOU," 20 YEARS LATER by Seongyong Cho (rogerebert.com)

The opening scene of “Eve’s Bayou” is one of the most captivating opening lines I have ever encountered: “Memory is the selection of images, some elusive, others printed indelibly on the brain. The summer I killed my father, I was 10 years old.” As we wonder about what happened during that summer in question, the movie immerses us into the small, vivid world of its young heroine who is trying to process what has been swirling inside her good but inherently problematic family. “Eve’s Bayou” is a haunting drama of love, hate, guilt and sorrow, and is surprisingly more complex and powerful than expected. It freely drifts around emotional realism and magic realism via its distinctive Southern atmosphere...
20th Anniversary Special: Cast Of 'Eve's Bayou' Talks About Film's Lasting Legacy Ashley Terrell (essence.com) Nov, 07, 2017
Christened “the best film of 1997” by the late film critic Roger Ebert, Eve’s Bayou continues to leave a spell-bounding mark on audiences on its 20-year anniversary.
The film, written and directed by Kasi Lemmons in her directorial debut —and executive produced by Samuel L. Jackson— tells a story about the Batistes, an affluent Creole family in Louisiana. After a party, main character, Eve witnesses her father having sex with a family friend causing a ripple effect of a turbulent summer leading to tragedy.
Starring Jackson, Lynn Whitfield, Debbi Morgan, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Meagan Good, Jake Smollett and Diahann Carroll, the film received accolades including nominations for the 1998 NAACP Image Awards....
'Eve's Bayou' and 'One Night Stand’ Took Big Risks in 1997 Jason Bailey (vice.com) Nov 15 2017, 1:24pm
“The summer I killed my father, I was ten years old.” Those are the first words spoken in Eve’s Bayou, and as opening lines go, you could do a helluva lot worse. This evocative memory drama was directed by first-time filmmaker Kasi Lemmons, who was best known as an actor, primarily for her supporting role as Clarice Starling’s academy roommate in The Silence Of The Lambs. The movie was selected by Roger Ebert as the single best film of 1997, which is quite a compliment considering the competition.
The ten-year-old of that opening line is Eve (Jurnee Smollett, in a performance of uncommon skill for an actor of any age). She is a quintessential middle child: Her little brother, Poe (Jake Smollett, her real brother), is mommy’s baby, and older sister Cisely (Meagan Good) is daddy’s girl. Said daddy is Louis (Samuel L. Jackson), “the best colored doctor in all Louisiana.” Sometimes Eve goes with him on house calls, and observes lonely young wives purring pleas like, “Could you give me something for the pain?” Early in the film, Eve accidentally spies her father in an intimate moment with a family friend (Lisa Nicole Carson). Eve’s upset by what she sees, but Cisely is particularly livid, for reasons that will become clear....
The perfectly selected end-credits song was performed by Erykah Badu.
