solidly liberal Democrat, supported Bernie in 2016 and Warren in 2020 but easily voted for Hillary and Biden in the general. To continue with the greater universe theme I’ll say that she’s the cousin of my previous character on her Scottish side. When they see each other they exchange friendly jokey Catholic/Protestant barbs.

Next character is her husband

Your friendly moderate Obama-Trump-Biden voter.

AGE: 26
GENDER: ?!? Born male, has insisted he's 'nonbinary' since he was 17 (previously identified as male), but when he came out as nonbinary in Southlake, he was abused and had to move to Coppell. In Coppell he came out again and faced more abuse and bullying and moved to Parker, where he's told nobody that he's nonbinary and publicly calls himself male and answers to 'he'/'him' pronouns. Only his close family and some classmates from Southlake and Coppell know he actually identifies as nonbinary.
RACE: His paternal grandfather is a Mexican who moved to the US at age 9, but the other 3 grandparents are all whites with European ancestary
HOMETOWN & RESIDENCES: Born in Moreno Valley, CA, and lived there till age 15; moved to Southlake, TX, and lived there until he was 17; lived in Coppell, TX until moving to Parker, TX in his earlie twenties
OCCUPATION: Currently works at a local grocery store part-time. Used to work for a Dallas-based pro-life organization but got laid off.
EDUCATION: High school graduate
INCOME: Very low; he makes little more than minimum wage and only works part time anyway
RELIGION: Devout Catholic. One of the reasons he left Coppell was because he was treated as an outcast by the Church after coming out as nonbinary. Out in Parker, he goes to Church on Sundays and attends Mass freely since nobody in the area knows he's nonbinary.
RELATIONSHIPS: None currently
LGBTA+?: Yes. He's nonbinary as discussed above, and is also pansexual/bisexual (confused about that part).
CHILDREN: One that he doesn't know about. In his days in Southlake, he impregnated somebody, but she only found out about it after he moved to Coppell. She didn't tell him, and had the child several months later. The child is a healthy 8-year-old boy raised by his mother and her husband (who she married a few years later).
INTERESTS & OTHER NOTES: He has run a YouTube channel for 2 years (indentity concealed) where he 'vlogs' about his experiences. Videos posted every Saturday. Has nearly two thousand subscribers.
