#meanwhile garak trying to physically restrain iskra from trying to reinstitute the secret police

[fauvester]

my silly little garashir orphan adoptees (as is obligatory as a garashir fan)

Young Elim ("Lim", "Junior" [if you call him that he will poison your dinner]): reincarnated soul of a 14th century english peasant farmer, probably. man of few words. likes things done his way. tolerates fools only if they're in his family. real DIY hours only.

Iskra: loves scheming, bald lies and subterfuge, but mostly for her own enjoyment rather than for gain. heard too much politics talk as a kid and now she's a ~diplomat~. very cold sensitive. the fun one.

Jocasta: only one garak found, last kid brought home. dark cindarella backstory. "off-putting". good at sitting quietly and blending in; eidetic memory; perfect for infiltration.

Idan: terminal youngest child syndrome. maybe a little of the ADHD but he's got the spirit. full of zest and mischief. grew up on too much nostalgia stories about the Fed and now he's gonna Be In Starfleet..
