Name: Britain Newark
Gender: Female
Age: 28
Height: 5'1''
Weight: Feather.
Eye Color: Sage green
Hair Color: Orange-red
Status: Quietly infatuated with Steele.
Occupation: Police
Personality: Brisk, efficient, caring. Motherly. Straight forward, not likely to panic.
Likes: Tea, flights of fantasy, guns. Doing her job well. Taking care of others.
Dislikes: People who willfully hurt others, waking up in the middle of the night.
In short: Brit likes to take care of people, but doesn't always know how to take care of herself. Her random bouts of empathy are going to cause some serious problems with her pregnancy. She has a child's wonder at anything magical, and if given the chance she really does seem to be a bit of a pixie- but she can be cold-hearted and ruthless when it comes to doing her duty or protecting those she loves.

Weight: Leaf.
Eye Color: Royal Blue
Hair Color: Black w/ Blue Sheen
Status: Head over Heels for Brit.

Dislikes: Law Enforcers.... well most of them. Fire. Sloppy work and clumsiness.
In short: Steele is generally distrusting of most people at first and it often takes a while for her to warm up. She is one to look out for everyone else before taking care of her own needs and tends to be a bit overprotective of her family.

Her biggest worry is that she won't be available for her family if something happens.

<center>What children take from us, they give...We become people who feel more deeply, question more deeply, hurt more deeply, and love more deeply.
Sonia Taitz, O Magazine, May 2003</center>
<img src="http://www.sevenbutterflies.com/gmfc/ransombaby.jpg" align="left">
Name: Ransom Argentum Newark
Eyes: Dark
Hair: None!
Height: Small.
Weight: Light enough to snuggle, heavy enough to make you tired.
Gender: Male
Distinguishing Marks: Pointed ears, dark, intense eyes.
Favorite Color: Dark Blue
Favorite Thing: Mr. Cuddles, his cuttlefish plushie heart
Personality: Ransom is generally pretty quiet. He has a nasty temper that usually shows up when his mama is upset about something; he is also sometimes frighteningly focused, so intent upon you that he might be looking into your soul. Those big, dark eys don't help any.
Speech: None. Small murmurs, occasionally, but he prefers to listen.
Hearing: Likes the sound of running water, or fountains.
Taste: Nothing definate...might have a fondness for chewy apple rings.
Touch: Anything soft and smooth...loves water, and microfiber and fleece.
Sight: Favorite colors are dark blue, dark green, and dark purple. I wonder what he would think of underwater, once Steele takes him there?
Weather: Doesn't seem to care about the weather just yet.
Food: Gummy apple-o's
Toy: Mr. Cuddles!
<img src="http://www.sevenbutterflies.com/gmfc/ravine.jpg" align="right">
Name: Ravine
Species: Dragon
Gender: Female
Personality: Ravine is Ransom's guard-dragon. She's a little bit flirty around other dragons, but generally very protective of her little friend and playful. Hopefully, we won't find out what happens when someone makes her mad. O_o;;

Siblings:
Ladanya ~*~ Cypris ~*~ Lilka ~*~ Keita ~*~ Aureli
Ladanya is as gentle as flower, but even flowers have thorns. If she's annoyed she becomes snappish. Lada is the oldest, giving her the most responsibility of all the kids. Lada is a Natural Orouh.
Cypris and Lilka are both Zephirae Angels currently in Brit and Steele's care. Cypris is quite the little gentleman, very polite, and likes to take care of his little sister. Lilka is extremely shy- but once you get to know her she's VERY loud!
Keita and Aureli are a pair of newborn Legend of a Tale twins that Brit and Steele will be taking care of. We're looking forward to raising them with our baby!
Extended Family:
Aoshi Newark is also a sibling to the current kids, who seem to alternate between adoring him and grating on his nerves. Aoshi is Brit's oldest son (currently attending a university) from her first marriage. Because he is 1/4 blackbird, magic doesn't work on him, so since his first meeting with Zaxzi at age 8 he's known about it. He's snarky but lovable.
UK Whitherspoon is Brit's younger cousin, one-time research assistant to Steele. He is flirty and very attractive, but serious about his work- he specializes in occult studies. Oddly enough, he knows FAR more about magic and Steele's real activities that Brit does >.<
Aunts and Uncles:

Housemates:
Zaxzi is a winged pard, and one of Brit's oldest companions on Gaia. He's sadistic, cynical, arrogant, and vain, but thankfully he's also very protective of the children and good at keeping them out of trouble....hopefully they won't learn anything from him. If you see this horse-sized Seer coming, it's best to stay out of range of his tail, wings, and acidic wit.
The Faelings
Chanti, Desaarh, and Kaori are faelings that Steele 'borrowed' from somewhere. They've become family, helping her out as much as they can! They love to play with the children. Chanti is very laid-back and calmly competant- which he needs, dealing with the trouble-making Desaarh! Kaori is very lady-like, and loves to talk to the girls in particular.
FyFy and Surline are the newest faelings- offspring of Desaarh and one of the faelings over at Ogre and Fyre's place. Now, how did that happen...?
The Tahnee
We started out with Fel and Jor...but recently Brit heard about an overflow at the Orphanage that simply could not be contained by it's walls. She volunteered to take in EIGHT of the children in need! Steele wasn't too happy about that, but eventually Brit hopes she'll understand how helpful and sweet they are.
Felrias and Jordain were adopted from the Tahnee Orphanage when Britain's oldest son, Aoshi, was about eight years old. They're more of associates than members of the family, since they both tend to be a little standoffish. Fel is the sweeter-tempered of the two, while Jor is more feisty. They act as tutors for the children- Fel tutors in the usual school subjects and a little bit of magic and Jor tutors in weapons (bow, shortsword, daggers). Vitree is one of the more recent additions to the family, but the 'girl' (don't let his girlyness fool you- he's most definately male) swiftly took over the other Tahnees once he arrived. He is charming and has a quick mind for command- no matter how odd he is, he keeps control.
Verrato, Tellesin, and Jisakin are a set of dark cousins who somehow managed to stay together at the Orphanage. They are a very quiet trio, but individual quirks (like Tell's love of the ocean and Jisa's bright chatter) become more evident once you get to know them. Verrato specializes in History, Tellesin specializes in Law and Business, and Jisa works with kitchen magic- making her an incredible cook.
One would think that Rikken would be the leader of this crowd, but this scientist prefers to stay in the background and give Vitree advice when needed. Even though Steele wasn't too happy about the new children she's been a little stuck with Wrath- this little pickpocket needs to either "learn not to steal the silverware or learn to do it RIGHT." He's lazy and doesn't like to work, but he's a pretty nice guy. No one's really certain whether Fore and Montreal are twins or lovers, but they're definately one of the two- they're never seen apart, and they work together seamlessly.

<center></center>
Brit and Steele's home is a quiet, out-of-the-way two story on the outskirts of Durem. The family prefers to live unobtrusively, so as not to draw attention to Steele's...comings and goings. The house has many bedrooms for their multiple children, a large backyard, and of course an elaborate pool with waterfalls to make watery Orasteele happy. It is surprisingly easy to defend, with heavy doors and secure windows for Brit's peace of mind, and waaaaay in the back is Brit's private firing range, opposite Steele's little practice yard. There are playgrounds both inside and outside the pool.
The yard is enormous- the house is on a very large peice of property, and well-screened with trees. Off in the distance are a path to the houses where Brit and Steele's Juusanshi companions and Kuulatris have taken up residence and a secluded little trail to their section of the Nereid Pools.
Inside, the house is elegant and spacious, not to mention scotch-guarded against the residents disregard for furniture. Bedrooms for the children, two playrooms, and an open entertainment room grace the upstairs; the downstairs holds Brit and Steele's room, the office, the library, the weapons collections (firmly...FIRMLY locked), a computer room for the kids, the kitchen and dining areas, and the downstairs entertainment center.
Neighboors say that the family seems very happy, even with the occasional spat. The crime rate in the area is...noticably low.
