Description Alex has been out picking mini-tomatoes for a good hour and a half, and is proudly showing her mom the fruits of her labor.
Alex looks a bit younger here, probobly around 8 or 9, instead of her "Current" Age of Ten and a half.

Also, let me introduce you to two new characters that, unless I'm mistaken, most of you haven't seen before!

The tall woman in the waterproof boots, flannel shirt, and ponytail under her cap is Jean, Alex's mom.
Jean is the more confident, strict, but also fun of Alex's parents. (As opposed to Russel, who is more laid back, and acts more like a teacher). she works as a farmer and as a stay-home mom, and occasinally picks up odd jobs here and there due to her handy nature (something Alex takes after quite a bit, to the point she is arguably at the point of superceding her mother in handyness, dispite not being alowed to use powertools unsupervised)

The dog by Jean's side is Tannor, He's a mix of a lab, a golden retriever and a few other hints here and there. He is friendly, overexcitable (He enjoys tackling people and then attacking them with licks on the face), and kind of dumb/clumsy at times. He middle aged, around 7 (they got him at around a year old when Alex was around 4, a little after their previous dog died when Alex was 1, and too little to remember)

Alex is my original character, please ask before drawing/using her

Jean looks like she'd get along well with Vivian.

I reckon she would indeed ^^

Like Vivian she is the main cook, homemaker and handy woman, Along with the business owner (in Jeans case of the family farm). she grew up in the south, before moving up to the Midwest for college, and staying there after meeting russel there, and thus has a southern/Midwestern mix of accentsΒ 
She's a tough and stern mother at times, expecting hard work on school and chores from all her kids (though Alex is convinced she 'picks' on her) Β but in the end her kids are the most important thing in the world to her

Ah. I was wondering where the Northern Southern accent Alex has came from. Makes sense.

Yep, she's also spent some months with relatives down south, so she's picked up a bit there. She still sounds mostly just mild Midwestern though, she doesn't have a drawl

That's Alex's Mom? I guess gender ambiguity runs in the family. I'd not suspect that she's a woman by looking at the picture.

I might have to tweak her a bit

Thanks! ^^
I would ask about cosmo's mom... But I'd be worried it was either a sore point in her past, or a secret/plot point not yet ready to be revealed

CosmicMoondog In reply to StefanPWinc [2015-03-04 22:37:24 +0000 UTC]

You make a good point there...I've never said about her family (other than that one snip-it of her dad).Β 

It's not much of a plot point or a bad event (although is does tie in with the main story), it's just something I got around to explaining. This gives me an idea now...

Well, usually ^^

back in elementary school she was always competitive during clean up time, and tried to "beat" all the other kids at it

*GASP* YOU DRAW DOGGIES SO CUTE!!! And Alex's mom seems really cool. They should Hang out sometime with Sunny, Kitty, or SevenUp

StefanPWinc In reply to FluffySnuffy [2015-03-13 12:58:22 +0000 UTC]

Indeed they should ^^
Jean is pretty good with kids (she's raised three, and looked after her siblings and nieces and nieces and nefews), and since she takes care of a lot of animals, she has that in common with SevenUp

I'm basically on spring break now, so yes, let us let them hang :3
