I'll see what I can do about extracting Flora. :) She's about to grow up, but you can always just age her down again.
I don't like Carlisle, either. In most fanfiction I've read, and keep in mind that I only read the kind that disrespects the series in the worst possible ways, he's often portrayed as the most pathetic of the lot.
Riana's my favourite of them all, but even she isn't too bright. That said, the rest of them are so dumb she looks like a genius next to them. I have a much clearer impression of Riana and Adana as actual characters than what comes through in the narration. Basically, I see Riana as the curious, searching one, who's drawn to mysteries and wonder. She's relatively organized and methodic in her approach to things, and has a stronger sense of right and wrong than most of her family. Adana's got a very happy-go-lucky approach to life, and likes a challenge. This shows in both her job as a gamer, and her tendency to fall for guys who are a bit difficult. She enjoys playing with fire, and prides herself on being in control even when she's not. Although her main aspiration is Knowledge, her secondary Popularity aspiration seems to be more dominant.
I imagine the convo between Ryan and Cindrana went something along these lines:
Ryan: Darling, don't you think we have a lot of kids?
Cindrana: What do you mean? It's only three. Aylatani's got like seven, or something.
Ryan: Well, the woman who looks after Adana's psychotic loser boyfriend wants to take Annabelle home with her, because she's lying unconscious on the sidewalk. Don't worry, she's breathing and all. But I told her I don't have custody of Annabelle, so I can't really decide that.
Cindrana: And..?
Ryan: Well, I thought maybe she could take Nerniya instead?
Cindrana: WHAT?!
Ryan: She obviously wants a kid, and Nerniya keeps telling me that I'm not normal and that I'm the reason she drinks and never brings friends home. If she had to live with the really crazy people for a while, she'd see how normal I am!
Cindrana: ...no.
Bella doesn't like blondes, because they're stewpid, and she's so smarrrt.
I checked on the Ducklings I put into my game. For some reason, I've set Alan and Belinda as the parents of Karis, Keely and Grace. Beau and Lela don't seem to be related to them. I tried fixing it with the manipulator, making Grace and Keely theirs, but something borked and I had to quit without saving.
I only wish Diaper Man would actually show himself soon! He IS around, but I'd like his introduction to happen naturally. I had to teleport Chicken Man, just to show that he's actually real. Eh, okay... so he's not a chicken. Narrator doesn't know the names of many other birds.
I purposefully had Jacob break Nerniya's heart, all in the name of drama. :D After he'd stolen Nerniya's first kiss, I used cheats to make him madly in love with Renesmee. He really couldn't help it, because he was at the mercy of forces beyond his control. I also had to use cheats to set Bella and T'ana as enemies, else it would have taken 6ever. If it's any consolation, Nerniya will grow up and move on, while Jacob & Co will do homework for ever.
Ryan's usually got this sorta innocent, slightly moronic grin on his face. I assume he's got very high nice points, since it's all or nothing with these guys.
Golden eyes didn't suit Esme. I wanted her to give off a kind of glamourous, soap-heroine vibe, so violet-blue it was.
