Replaying Nancy Drew without Cheating - Part 9: Secret of Shadow Ranch

Loving this game is sooo diametrically opposed to who I am to my core (i.e. anti-horse girl), but I just CANNOT help myself. It’s so good. As a former Arizona gal myself, I am enamored with the setting, swept away by the romantic story of Frances Humber and Dirk Valentine’s forbidden love, and love staring a little too long at Dave’s sculpted ass at the chicken coop. I feel like this game is near perfect and I have very few complaints, despite the fact that I actually despise Shorty Thurmond with every fiber of my being. I haven’t hated a character this much since the days of yore, when Louis Chandler’s punchable face and droning voice haunted my nightmares. I have new nightmare fodder now - but I am very appreciative that at least it harkens back to The Shining, which is one of my favorite horror movies of all time.

God, my skin is crawling even just looking at that photo.

Okay, the real question here: was I tempted to cheat playing this game? The answer is no. I am thinking that between DDI, which I recently finished, and SHA, because I have not felt the need to look up any hints, probably just indicates that these are games that I have re-played most often. There was not any moment where I wasn’t sure what I needed to do next; in fact, I’ve come to realize that not playing along with a walkthrough (which I frequently have done) really does you an injustice as a player. It removes the element of immersion, so now, I was actually able to follow the storyline and really appreciate how well-fleshed out the game is. It just FEELS like they put some time into this one, if that makes any sense. It is enough to make me overlook the fact that I am terrified of horses and would never be caught dead riding one solo through the desert in real life.

Here are my thoughts:

1. This was THE FIRST game with this new interface, and it brings a whole new feel to Nancy Drew. The screen is larger, you feel more like you ARE Nancy. With that, of course, came some issues that would eventually be worked out, such as needing to deliberately close your bag every single time you pulled something out of it...made it feel a bit clunky. However, the changes’ good definitely outweighs their bad, and it was fun to feel like I was part of the next generation of HerInteractive.

2. Anyone else wondering how there are so many sticks just laying around, considering the fact that there are no trees on the ranch, and hardly any trees in that desert at all? I’ve never thought of this before, but I think these people would probably be buying firewood in town irl, not just finding it hanging around the yard.

3. Dave is obviously hot, and I have thought this since my childhood, but TEX is a smokeshow. Damn, those deep, rugged voices get me every time (lest we forget my concerning childhood crush on Dexter Egan). Mary Yazzie is a lucky lady, especially since I am inferring from this poster that Tex is very well-endowed. Girth is definitely rife with sexual innuendo. Remember, I know nothing about horses, and some people are reading this and palming their faces, but this is head cannon for me now.

4. Shorty is probably the dumbest culprit ever. I knew it was him back in the day as soon as I saw his stupid maps. The constant beration over his underripe vegetables and the elusive chicken eggs only further drove my hatred for him (without hints in this playthrough - I got thrown out of the house THREE times for picking the wrong vegetables. THREE!!). Shorty’s refusal to do his own job, his gross bald head, the fact that I for some reason have to rely on him every single day for water, him and/or his bank robber friends leaving the key for Nancy to escape from the jail cell within 3 minutes of coming to...I could go on. He is as dumb as a stump.

5. The look on Dave’s and Tex’s faces in this scene is hilarious. We can all relate. Even though lamb ragout sounds really good and I would take it over a burger any day, I have a hard time agreeing when he says that Dave and Tex’s taste buds are as sophisticated as a sand flea’s. This man made me bake a cake myself while he stood at the stove, stiff as a taxidermied bear, stirring at nothing in a pot for 12 hours a day, so I have my doubts as to his talent in the kitchen. “I must confess the man has NO TALENT.”

6. LOVED Dry Creek. It was so creepy that I really did feel nervous whenever I had to go out there, as if the sense of isolation of that town was seeping into me through the screen. Very cool spot. Getting locked in that jail cell was super exciting gameplay too. I give Shorty shit for leaving that key on the hook there, but in this playthrough I definitely knocked the key off the wall and into the floor hole about 4 times before I finally remembered about lassoing the chair. Who’s the dumb one now??

7. This magnet puzzle made me want to kill myself. Ultimately, I just randomly put each piece in each spot until they locked in, since I never did see the pamphlet in Mary’s shop. I thought there would be a better explanation out there as to why the wood pieces are there the first 10ish times you open it, and disappear on the 11thish. Has any game ever just inexplicably taken pity on you like this before? I am trying to think about whether or not I have ever realized that the game does this, or if this is the first time, since every other time I would have solved it the first time I opened it by following a very explicit walkthrough. I do like finding these weird little quirks, which I would never have found if not for this initiative.

8. The WORST puzzle though, not because it was hard but because it was so fucking annoying, was the game inside of Cappy’s after you put in Frances’s cousin’s ring. I had 2 tokens going in, both of which I had gotten playing the original game making a series bad guys with the token from the roadrunner game, and they were quickly gone as I lost twice in a row. I then proceeded to have to go back and play that roadrunner game SEVEN MORE TIMES!! in order to get more tokens to win a game that was purely luck. OMFG. I now have all 3 levels of that roadrunner game memorized. I will likely never forget them. And honestly, cheating wouldn’t have even made this easier.

9. And finally, Dave’s shit-eating grin in this photo at the end of the game, as he watches a mysterious Nancy cloaked in a physically impossible shadow. 

Excellent game. Maybe my favorite so far. Who’s ready to follow along with me as I shit myself in fear as Ethel lurks in the shadows of Blackmoor Manor?

                 cassel resident : talia wilkes.

full name. natalie ‘talia’ wilkes. age. thirty four birthdate. august 8th, 1986          zodiac. leo. gender. female                            pronouns. she/her occupation. doctor ( family medicine ) lives in. main street.

                                     about talia wilkes.

when talia imagines herself, she is always leaving. and maybe that’s always been the greatest constant in her life, reaching the crest of the mountain top & then turning back down right before hitting the peak. that’s what her mother would say anyways. and she always did have so much to say. 

she wasn’t always like this: family disappointment, the daughter whose name gets glossed over in conversations with her parent’s country-club friends. the joke sits on the roof of her mouth: no, I used to be worse. 

the thing was, talia always felt like she was too big for this world. like she was a great, cosmic force that had been trapped inside a tiny glass jar, sitting on a shelf & collecting dust. she felt everything too deeply & too strongly, each emotion could echo off her canyon chest for eternities. she wasn’t meant to be a proper young lady, one that would evolve into a proper young wife that hung off her proper young husband’s arm before eventually popping out proper little children & repeating the cycle all over again. she wasn’t built for school board meetings or cocktail hours, lunch at the club and summer in the vineyard. she was a wild creature, always saying the wrong things and laughing with all her teeth, perpetually sneaking out of her girlhood bedroom at all hours of the moon-dark night.

for the record, talia did try. she really did. despite her near-constant bad behavior, her grades were excellent. no one could take that away from her. and by the time university came, she had her pick of the ivies, eventually settling on yale. things were on the uptick, she had fallen in love with her pre-med courses. she spent nights in the library buried beneath piles of books or recording hours volunteering at the local hospital. with medicine, she’d finally found something she was good at, something worthwhile that she could offer the world. something to make her family proud. talia shined at her med-school interviews, winning competing offers from schools like stanford and princeton. and then she got pregnant at twenty-one, just a few months shy of her college graduation. 

even now, she can hear the ringing sound of her parent’s voices after the news broke. you’ve ruined your life. you’ve completely ruined your life, natalia. for a time — she believed it, numbingly agreeing to let them take the reins of her existence, which seemed to grow smaller and smaller by the day. talia denied her other offers and picked u-chicago’s medical school so that she’d be closer to her family. she let her then-boyfriend slip an antique engagement ring around her finger and ignored how much congratulations sounded like the click of a lock. she delivered her twins, leila and noah, in the sticky heat of june. she drove herself to the hospital. it was a few hours after an anatomy exam.

she continued this transitory life until her second year of medical school, as her mother & would-be mother in law were planning her wedding. with the wedding, which was already promising to be a lavish affair, talia would finally make things “right”, settle down & have a real family. the babies were a minor hiccup, they said, something people would eventually grow to forgive in time. and talia, despite her restless heart screaming otherwise, once again agreed. but then she saw her wedding dress. her fingers traced the delicate lace & suddenly it all became dizzyingly real. natalia saw her life play out before her — an unhappy marriage, children that would grow resentful of her, a life she’d spent so much of her life trying to escape from thrust upon her hands. and she left. all she remembers is a crescent moon hung low in the sky, guiding her way. new start, talia she repeated like a mantra, this is a new start. 

with what was left in her bank account she was able to scrap together rent for the next few years, living on the outskirts of the chicago. she pulled out loans for tuition. for the three years, she worked her ass off and ignored her brother’s pleas to come home. her parents didn’t really bother, talia supposed in their eyes she had already made her choice. she spent mornings waitressing & her evenings studying, relying on the kindness of her friends who didn’t mind her twins sleeping in the background of their all-nighters. when residency came, she already knew what she wanted to do. there was a statistic she’d once seen in undergrad, about how twenty percent of americans lived in rural areas and yet barely a tenth of doctors practiced there. she knew she wanted to do something about it. and she did. she applied to residency programs across the country. including cassel’s hospital. her classmates thought she was bananas to even consider a program in what they affectionately called “bum-fuck-nowhere, USA”, but she didn’t really pay them any mind — letting their laughter bounce off her like dew slipping off a leaf. she knew what she wanted to do. anyone else’s opinion was secondary.

this was some years ago — nearly seven, if she was counting. despite everything, she’s carved herself a lovely little life here in cassel. sure, there are small inconveniences — her med school debt getting in the way of finally buying a house being the chief amongst them, but she’s done the best she can. and that’s all you can do, right? after a lifetime’s worth of strife, to keep moving forwards despite it all. to earn yourself some stability, fill the space in between with love.

                                   three songs. under the table ( fiona apple ) / baby birch ( joanna newsom ) / storms ( fleetwood mac )

Pitch for a Supermassive Games installment:

1) The title: THE ENEMY WAY (referring to the Navajo traditional ceremony for countering the harmful effects of chindi, which are vengeful ghosts)

2) The premise:

In Arizona, the Yazzie family inherits a horse ranch that belonged to a distant relative. Although the Yazzies aren’t familiar with the practice of caring for horses, the family is nonetheless excited over the prospect of moving into a new location. What starts out as a fun trip to the new home quickly turns into a nightmare when they learn that the ranch is haunted by “chindi” aka vengeful ghosts. 

Chindi: The ghost left behind after a person dies, believed to leave the body with the deceased's last breath. It is everything that was bad about the person, the "residue that man has been unable to bring into universal harmony".

Based on the player’s actions, either the Yazzie family will be able to survive the night...or suffer the same fate of the ghosts that haunt their new home. 

3) Influences (movies that you can watch to get a feel for what I’m going for with this pitch):

Poltergeist (this is the main influence), The Exorcist, The Haunting of Hill House, The Conjuring, Insidious, The Evil Dead

If you want to get specific, the Navajo level from Beyond Two Souls 

4) The Playable Cast:

* Grant Yazzie (played by Zahn McClarnon): Patriarch of the Yazzie family / COMMANDING, STUBBORN

* Mabel Yazzie (played by Kimberly Norris Guerrero): Matriarch of the Yazzie family / COMPASSIONATE, HARDWORKING

* Noah Yazzie (played by Tatanka Means): Grant and Mabel’s eldest son / RATIONAL, BRAVE

* Amber Yazzie (played by Jessica Matten): Grant and Mabel’s eldest daughter / INTELLIGENT, PERSUASIVE 

* Raul Yazzie (played by Forrest Goodluck): Grant and Mabel’s youngest son / RECKLESS, WITTY  

* Lenora Yazzie (played by Amber Midthunder): Grant and Mabel’s uoungest daughter / ADVENTUROUS, DILIGENT    

* Jerome Kim (played by Steven Yeun): Amber’s Korean-American boyfriend / ROMANTIC, INSECURE 

* Morgan Reddington (played by Elizabeth Henstridge): Friend of the Yazzie family and Noah’s love interest / LOYAL, INDECISIVE 

5) Non-Playable Cast:

* “The Medicine Man” (played by Wes Studi): A medicine man who coaches the player as the game goes on. He is the game’s equivalent to Eliza Vorez, the Curator, and Dr. Alan Hill.

💚🖤💔💓 and, uh, 💘

this was........ so long. and i’m so sorry. but thank you for giving me an opportunity to rant because i had a lot of fun!! mwah

💚: how long have you been working on it?

i started the outline on august 29th :^) so like, a month more or less. writing-wise i’d say two to three weeks! 

🖤: what are your MC names?

there’s kevin and the not-kevins (andreil) but also: robin (you asked if she’s an oc -- she’s not! she’s the ONLY part of the ec i actually like; she’s the freshman who ends up getting adopted by the monsters a year or two post canon), river (kevin’s teammate & honorary best friend), yonah (captain to kevin’s new team), gigi (robin’s gf! she’s one of the vixens), and so on! i went a little bit batshit on the characterizations to be honest. if i got a dollar for every pinterest board i’ve done for this fics’ characters...

💔: give a brief character bio of your 3-5 MCs

since kandreil are literally kandreil and i haven’t changed much of them character-wise, here are a few of the characters i’ve come up with: 

river yazzie: river is the first oc i made for this fic and the fellow newbie to kevin’s new team, the south carolina stingrays. they’re a goalkeeper who used to play for penn state but had to abandon exy during their senior year due to an injury! they’re an indigenous genderqueer person who end up getting constantly paired up with kevin during their first weeks at practice for being the only other new addition to the team, hence why they become friends :D river spent their first 13 years in a reservation until they moved in with their dad, who had a drinking problem river learned how to help with since young, which is what makes kevin cling to them during team events, since river is good at keeping him away from alchohol 

yonah abeles: the stingrays’ captain and also an ex-penn state player!!!! she’s responsible for river’s addition to the team and also for kevin & river’s settling-in process, given the stingrays’ were a fairly stable team with very few additions/retirements before the two of them were added to the line up. she’s the first oc to actually appear -- after kevin’s hospitalization, she shows up at his house with a get well soon gift from the team :) she’s not as sunshine and butterflies as river is, but she’s as harsh and observative as kevin on the court, which is why he respects + clings to her a lot during his first practices

gigi, actually evgeniya: she’s a russian-american vixen who, upon her first meeting with the monsters, took to lying her ass off about having an accent and speaking russian at all. she’s an acting major who would have forged an entire new life for herself to them hadn’t it been for robin, whom she thought was pretty and nice enough to not lie to for fun. they meet at edens by pure accident; robin shakingly punches a dude for being too forceful in his approach and gigi only so happened to be the girl at the receiving end of said approach

sidney morales: one of the stingrays’ players, she’s a single mom whose child she brings along with to practice every now and then. she becomes acquaintances-friends with kevin for being the one who hosts most dinner parties for the team, and because her kid, a six year old named max, keeps asking kevin the weirdest questions that get the weirdest answers. have you ever seen famous striker kevin day cower at the sight of a six year old asking him if he lives on the court? she has! <3

daniel ferreira: the brazilian stingrays’ player who first approached kevin during practice! he’s known in the exy media for taking a knee during the national anthem during the last olympics, an act kevin publicly defended him for after the vicious backlash he got for it, which was his motivation to even attempt at being friends with kevin at all once they were in the same team. daniel’s girlfriend, sarah zhong, is also a stingray, and they’re the nicest couple in the world :D

💓: is it part of a series or standalone?

[rubs hands together in evil manner] you see. if everything goes well, i want to write a past-past-canon fic where it’s kandreil’s domestic life as a couple of pro exy players who live under the same roof! it would mostly just be their shenanigans + moving in together and getting used to it all over again + exploring soft moments i wouldn’t be able to write in the name of the game because they’re not stable and established enough yet

💘: give us a huge spoiler

I’M SO BAD AT GIVING SPOILERS ADMITTEDLY...... i keep thinking of what to say and i just can’t come up with anything that doesn’t sound lame!!! my spoiler is that this fic touches on the choking incident in depth and in its universe kevin spent six months fighting nonstop with andrew about it, to the point where he refused to be within andrew’s vicinity outside of practice and moved out of the dorms to stay with wymack’s for a good 2-3 months. during this period kevin and aaron actually became friends, which is why kevin moves in with nicky and aaron for a brief period. he’s only back to living with andreil after robin is added to the group, and he tells andrew to his face that it’s out of sheer worry for her, because he knows how much of an asshole andrew can be and he doesn’t want it to happen again. 

they do, eventually, come together once more: the silver lining for their relationship is a point in time where andrew corners kevin and tells him to hit him back, which kevin refuses to do, but can more or less understand how guilty andrew must feel if he’s offering a vulnerability like that to make them even. after that it’s a lot of join sessions with betsy and rekindling their relationships through new deals (kevin makes andrew promise to never, ever, ever try to control him again), those of which guarantee that their relationship does not have a power imbalance like it used to have. this is important to the fic because a lot of their relationship stems from that time, and the consequences of their fight linger a lot on kandreil. needless to say, this was also a very troubling time for neil

[yazzydream]

yazzy, i trust your taste so much now, since i found both russian roulette and heae the silence by your fanarts, so please rec' fanfiction

Oh maaaan. That’s so flattering. Lol. 

Since you haven’t specified for which fandom, I’ll just post my very favorites in general:

As you’ve mentioned we’ve got

Hear the Silence by EmptySurface - [Naruto, SI OC]

Russian Roulette by Vixen_Tail - [KHR, SI OC]

(For those who don’t know them.)

Harry Potter

Prince of the Dark Kingdom by Mizuni-sama - [AU] This one is… my all time favorite fic ever. It’s unfortunately not been updated since 2014 ;_; But still has 147 chapters. This is a ‘Voldemort won’ story where Harry stumbles back into the British Wizarding World and somehow Voldemort becomes his mentor. NOT Dark!Harry. That’s what’s so wonderful. You can see how the circumstances and changes in history led to everyone becoming the way they did while still being true to themselves.

Timely Errors by Worfe - [Harry Potter] A short sweet Harry-travels-to-the-Marauders-time fic. This actually has my favorite version of Harry.

Across the Universe by mira mirth - [Oneshot, time travel] This is… totally tropetastic and great. lmao. Like, you’ve got cynical Harry dimension traveling to a world where their Harry died that fateful Halloween night and James and Lily survived. The BWL is Neville. But it’s all from James’ pov who is simultaneously happy to have his first son back but is incredibly aware that Harry’s not what they expected to be.

Full circle by tetsurashian - [HUMOR, Harry/Voldemort] An absolute blast. This fic is so so fun. Harry and Voldemort/Tom have been in a neverending cycle of rebirth until they ended up in what seems to be their original timeline. There are all these amazing omake snapshots of their previous lives at the end of some chapters which are seriously amazing. My favorite so far is the life where they’re both girls who end up ruling their strict all girls-boarding school with an iron fist. lmao.

Ibex by AgeOfAlejandro - I will never get over how relieved I am I stumbled upon this fic again on AO3 after I thought I’d lost it forever years ago during one of FF.net’s purges. Uhh… how to explain this one. It’s Dark Lord Potter. The best version of dark!Harry imo. He’s manipulative and ruthless, but he still loves. All those things that make him care about people is still there. It’s just taken a backseat to what he feels is necessary. Last updated in 2012, so I’m not sure the author will come back to it, but it’s worth reading all the same.

Icarus by budchick - [Oneshot, Harry/Tom Riddle] It’s been a while since I read this. But Harry ends up in a world where Tom Riddle is raised by Tom Riddle Senior. It’s… well. He’s trying? But having a witch-boy who does some really scary shit and keeps traumatizing the servants is very stressful. Lol.

Naruto

Ghost by cywscross - [time travel] I am a trope whore. loool. So. We’ve got adult Naruto (aka Yuurei) time traveling to when his younger self was still with the original Team 7 to start off.  And, I gotta say I love it when the older self mentors the younger version of themselves trope. This is all from younger Naruto’s pov.

The Guardian Crow by dianamoth - [SI OC] SI is reincarnated as a summons. It’s such a good idea that makes way for a less complicated life when compared to other SIs honestly. So It’s good to relax with. 

With Nothing On My Tongue by sunshineinwriting - [team 7-centric] Naruto’s use of the kage bunshin changes a lot of things in how he absorbs information and matures. It sends a ripple down to everyone. Badass little child soldiers everywhere.

Claws Amidst the Cracks by Undead Artist - [OC-centric] Not quite self-insert, but OC-centric. And INCREDIBLY BRUTAL. Definitely heed the warnings. It’s super intense and fucked up, and made me cry so many times. OC wakes up as Sasuke in the aftermath of the massacre. OC, who is from our world, did not have a great life either. Anyway, it’s brilliantly written and I love it, but I know some people just cannot with how graphic it can get.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

Chroma Diamonds by Brick - [KHR, R27, 2772, R2772, AU] Slow burn, best burn. We’re nowhere near the romance bits, and it’s fantastic. The set up is: No one came to train this universe’s Tsuna (and yes, other dimensions existing is a plot point) and he grows up kind of twisted with his Flame sealed. Tsuna’s not… a bad person per se. But without anyone there to kick his ass into gear, he makes decisions that would probably freak out canon!Tsuna. Lots of Flame lore and culture. Namimori is a mafia retirement town. Ayye.

Colorire by The_Plot_Bunny_Whisperer - Just a feel-good SkyArcobaleno!Tsuna fic, good to relax with.

Welkin by Shivani - Another SkyArcobaleno!Tsuna fic. This one’s… huh, actually the only bashing fic on this list actually. Lol. 

Sidelines by esama - In one of those other universes that taken over by Byakuran, this Tsuna is the only one who remembers it when things are returned to “normal” by canon!Yuni.

For the Love of the Game by metisket - [Yamamoto-centric, character study] This snippet covers it pretty well: “It strikes him as weird that he’s had to struggle not to kill people, that it’s been such a challenge. He’s pretty sure that for most people, not being a murderer is way easier than being one.“

Undertale

Metamorphose by tuesday and The Great Boondoggle by Masu_Trout - [Oneshots] These are written by two separate authors but they follow similar themes and characterizations of Frisk which I adore. Which is that Frisk isn’t some sweet baby angel. All those possible choices that the player can make in Undertale? Yea, that’s part of their history. Frisk made those choices to kill or be killed, to commit genocide, or be a pacifist. Chara isn’t a separate entity that exists as a convenient scapegoat who possessed them. All those awful and wonderful things are part of their personality. It’s great. That said, neither of these fics are heavy/angsty. 

Orot by MiniNephthys - [Oneshot] Post-neutral ending. Frisk returns to the Underground.

Crossovers

The Warrior & The Wolf by worldtravellingfly - [HP x Naruto Crossover, Oneshot, Fem!Harry, Harry/Kakashi] Kakashi reincarnated as Sirius’ son.

Somewhere Far from Victory by ewfte - [Naruto x BnHA Crossover] Kakashi is reincarnated as Todoroki Shouto. I’m not really into bnha, so I usually have the wiki open to me as I’m reading. Lol. But it’s so entertaining. It’s fascinating (and sad) seeing what Kakashi makes of the world where he isn’t required to kill for his village from age 6, but still has to deal with… you know, Endeavor.

Whispers in Corners by esama - [HP x Sherlock, Harry/Mycroft] Harry makes a living as a “psychic” calling up the spirits of the dead. Mycroft hires him to tie up some loose ends, and they end up building a relationship.

Impetus by Crunchysunrises - [BtVS x Hunger Games] Buffy ends up in District 12. Which implies there’s more to life outside the Districts which is a no go for the Capital. So barely even understanding each other’s language, Buffy is “chosen” for the Hunger Games. It’s amazing. Because Buffy’s this sweet delicate looking valley girl who likes makeup and looking good, but she can still kick the ass out of anyone in the Districts, and they don’t see it coming.

Others

Apples Equals Cyanide Equals Light by Silver Pard - [Death Note] A highly entertaining introspective by Ryuk about Light. Who really really was very different from other humans.

Brightly Burning by Aishuu - [Hikaru no Go] For want of nail. Basically, what if Hikaru hadn’t joined the Go world until after Sai disappeared? Hikaru is fucking terrifyingly strong and depressed, is what. This last updated in 2009… so probably discontinued. Lol.

No One Left To Blame by Wix - [Oneshot, Team Iron Man, Not Team-Cap Friendly] A one-shot that pretty neatly encapsulates what I think Team Cap deserved post-Civil War.

A Disturbance Beside Him by ghuune - [Daria, Daria/Trent, Smut] It’s sexy definitely, but it’s their characterization during and about sex with each other that really really sells it.

THIS ENDED UP SO MUCH LONGER THAN I EXPECTED. I guess I had a lot more on my rec list than I thought. Or rather, when it comes to my favorite fics I always have to say something about it, don’t I? Whoops.

[aquaticstarlight-blog]

Under the cut is a masterlist of all of Adelaide’s friendships with child OCs, both from my own creation and from others. All OCs listed that aren’t my own have interacted with Adelaide at least once. 

(Also please note that all information is from my own head. :’D If you’d like something added to the list, just let me know.) 

Violet Sprout

My own OC. The daughter of Clay’s childhood best friend, Marigold Sprout. A shy, quiet girl who knows about the grief of losing a father at a young age, these two met at a support group that dealt with expressing and dealing with their loss, and became close friends. They also go to school together~

Shares a lot of things from her mother, such as her subpar eyesight and curled hair, but also has the shy personality of her dad.

Name comes from the term, “shy violet,” which means a shy or modest person.

Unnamed Cousins

Two more of my own OCs, whom I haven’t named yet. Adelaide, luckily, isn’t totally surrounded by total jerks in her family, and have two cousins who are also misfits. The first one is a girl who’s around the same age as Adelaide, and would often hang out with her during family trips and the such, doing everyday, normal kid things. Adelaide allows her to start to internally question the family’s controlling ideology, becoming more and more open-minded.

The other one is a trans girl who can’t fully out herself, out of fear of being ridiculed or even worse. Adelaide learns her secret by total accident, but does her best to respect her secret and support her when things get rough.

Biblical names. Because of course, everyone in the Nunn family has a name relating to the bible in some way.

Also, there’s a cousin named Eve. Eve is terrible, and the eldest. Don’t trust Eve.

Edmund Koda (Inactive/Hiatus)

Child belonging to Robyn at curlsnglasses/klugekind, he’s the biological son of her Klavier (tanguitar) and Mochi’s OC named Shuuji (kodapi). An awkward, nerdy, tech-savvy goofball, his main passion in life is both being the greatest builder of robots while putting minimal effort in as possible. He’s about 8 years younger than Adelaide, and she is often his babysitter, which sometimes can produce… disastrous results. Nonetheless, he’s a good person at his core, even if he shows it in... strange ways.

Calls Adelaide by the nickname of ‘Ladle,’ and is the only person allowed to call her that. Ever.

Musical talents consist of being an expert kazoo player.

Has a bird that he loves dearly despite being loud af.

Hacker voice: “I’m in.”

Don’t mess with him. You mess with him, he’ll track you down, build an army of robots based on your worst nightmares, unleash them where it will cause the most damage and cackle menacingly while doing so.

In a constant state of weirded disgust. It’s how he gets by in the world.

Adelaide loves him dearly; he’s like a cousin to her, but actually good and not terrible like her biological ones. 

Nickname is “Ed,” but “Eddy” can and will be used for teasing purposes. 

Adrianne Wright

Child belonging to Nickey at prodigysdaughter. The biological daughter of her Phoenix (defensisms) and Athena’s Franziska (myuzux). A bouncy, excitable girl who is the older brother of Christian and 2 years older than Adelaide, she has her father’s personality and her mother’s sense of motivation, excelling at her academics and becoming a lawyer a young age, following the footsteps of her parents.

Has heterochromia, just like her father.

Bluffs like no tomorrow in court: like father, like daughter, haha~ 

Adelaide knows her as a good friend, is slightly self-conscious on the fact of how much she’s managed to do in such a short time, but still supports her, nonetheless.

Christian Wright

An equally energetic but also more relaxed sibling, he has a passion for horses like no other, ultimately becoming a champion horse rider when he gets older.

Horses. Like seriously, horses. All day, everyday.

Sees him as a good friend, and a bit more approachable than Adri, given their same age and his nature. 

Nicknames are “Chris” and “Tristan.” 

Abigail Fey

Child belonging to Yazzy at ruler-of-all-burgers-maya, as part of her Widow AU. The biological daughter of her Maya and her OC named Andrew, she’s around 10 or so years younger than Adelaide. A young girl that had come to her attention after the death of her own father, Andrew, Adelaide set out for Kurain Village in the hopes of helping her understand death, despite being such a young age.

Adelaide sees her younger self in Abigail. Young, naive, and confused, all in the middle of a web of complications. She wants nothing more than to help the girl understand, and to be there like the person she needed all those years ago.

Child belonging to Sena at turnabouting. The biological daughter of Mona Naye and Kat’s Edgeworth (turnaboutrp) he’s the same age as Adelaide. A curious, mute boy whom Adelaide met while she was lost at the prosecutor’s office, he quickly caught her interest with both his friendly demeanor and his way of communicating.

In one verse, is Adelaide’s sister. And man, is she a pain to handle, sometimes. XP But like all good siblings, mess with one, you get the wrath of the other.

Nickname is “Rina.”
