...third time's the charm? I didn't take very many pictures until the second generation was born, so sorry about that!

Meet Sophia Royal.

Her traits: Family-Oriented, Green Thumb, Irresistible, Loves the Outdoors, and Nurturing.
Lifetime wish: The Perfect Garden
Supermax: Gardening

Sophia spent her first day in Sunset Valley making friends with Connor Frio. It only took a few cat videos for them to become friends, and he and Jared soon moved in, bringing cameras and books, but no cars, as far as I can remember. She took a break to grab a quick meal from their fridge, and to use their bathroom, and then moved on down the street to Claire Ursine's house. Although Claire took a little more convincing, Sophia eventually convinced her and her level eight fishing skill to move in as well. I sold the camera and books from her inventory as well. They returned home to a house that was slightly box-ish, but livable. Connor was immediately chained to the easel, and Jared was sent to the library to read cooking books. Claire ran off to the grocery store for alley catfish, and then to Pinochle Pond to fish for angelfish. Sophia planted apples that she'd conjured. Life is good! And stressful.

*birthdays and death dates are definitely inaccurate. Most are out of order and probably don't fit in with the way game time works. The way they are written here is not how they happened in my game.

Glad to see you're taking another stab at an immortal dynasty! Sophia is very pretty

Happy to see another story starting up. I won't always comment, but I will be reading.

Yes, hello, Connor Frio here. The Watcher may have given you a brief overview of what's been happening, but never fear, the best has yet to come. Upon moving into the Royal House, which was really more like a box, the Watcher sent me off to the easel, with the promise of a computer when I gained at least three skill points. Claire ran off to the grocery store and then to Pinochle Pond to catch angelfish. Meanwhile, Jared was sent to the library where he met Thornton Wolff. From what I've heard, Thornton greeted Jared, then ran home, so my brother followed him and through the powers of rock paper scissors, convinced him to move in.

So far, having Thornton here hasn't made much of a difference, beside the fact that he brought in 26,000 simoleons and let us build a proper house with rooms and everything. Thornton has been chained to the sculpting station, but he doesn't seem too cut up about it.

Jared worked up the nerve to ask Claire to just be friends. She agreed, right before going into labor with their child.

Their daughter, Anne, was born with the traits Easily Impressed and Virtuoso. Sophia, who is quite family oriented, made a beeline for the child, while Claire ran off to the graveyard to fish.

Aw, nooboo!

Yay! Nooboo! I wonder if Anne will be a potential spouse for generation 1...

It's always nice to see Thornton working hard. Welcome to Anne and good luck with this attempt =D

Unfortunately no, she seems to have gotten all of the worst traits of both Claire and Jared

Thank you! Thornton was working hard, and popping tons of wishes that were sculpting related, but my game refuses to let ice sculptures look normal anymore, and so I kind of gave up. Oh well!

Ah, now, where were we? Sophia has all but taken over nooboo duty with little Anne, while Jared and Claire go about their daily business as if there was no nooboo at all. I don't know how Sophia finds time for all of her founder duties, but she does, somehow. She has been so busy it is hardly a wonder that she barely noticed Thornton in the household at all. But when she did... Oh my Watcher, the sparks! They barely came up for air after that first meeting. Perhaps it was a good thing Thornton attempted to sculpt Jared, as a test to see how the sculptures turned out, and found out that they were just... too ugly for a museum.

Thornton and Sophia were married quickly and privately. I don't think any of us realized what was happening until the sounds of retching echoed through the house the next day.

In other news, Jared adopted a cat. His name is Elijah, and he is already an elder, but we love him anyway. He likes to destroy our furniture and sleep on the countertop. We're training that out of him, of course, but he does it so sweetly it's hard to scold!

Elijah may be old and fairly useless, but I feel that he knows something we do not. He and Sophia have a strange bond, and she seems more energetic when he is around, somehow. There are stories that say that cats are useful to witches - in fact, I have written about them in many a story, myself - but Sophia is not a witch, so that cannot be true. I mean... she is not a witch, is she? That's impossible.

In what seemed like no time at all, we took a break from our respective activities to wish little Anne a happy toddler birthday. Sophia took the time to give Anne a birthday snuggle and carried her to the cake. While it appears that I have misplaced the screenshot of Anne's toddler birthday, I do have one of her playing with her creepy doll sent by one of Claire's relatives.

Strangely enough, Thornton is usually the first to answer Anne's demands. Perhaps that's because Sophia gave him quite a surprise when she twirled into her maternity wear while he was sculpting a sink made of ice.

The entire household worked together as a team to make sure that Sophia's pregnancy went smoothly. Sure enough, Sophia's daughter was born, Good and Easily Impressed. Although the labor seemed difficult, Sophia is quick to assure us that it could have been much, much worse. I fail to see how.

Another baby girl, women are taking over the household ^_^ Congrats to Sophia and Thornton. I love Elijah, he's so cute and I'm sad he's an elder though.

Congrats to Sophia and Thornton on their wedding and new addition.

I was hoping for a male heir so that the cute Ursine girl could marry into the family sooner, but yay for an heir nonetheless.

*clears throat* Ahem... Is this on? Ah yes. Here we are.

My name is Sophia Royal, and I am a Dynasty founder, as well as the mother of generation two. My darling Amelia. She is loved by the whole household - even Claire rushes to her crib-side as soon as she gets home from work.

It has become a daily battle to see who will get to my daughter first. From the moment I set her in her crib to the moment I took her out of it for her toddler birthday, she wanted for nothing. I swear, it was like having a bunch of elders in the house! Nooboo fever! Anne's child birthday and Amelia's toddler birthday fell close together. Claire showed interest in her daughter for the first time, since she was born, and carried her to the cake.

Look how adorable she is!

Now, I am not one to compare one child to another. Perhaps it is my Nurturing trait that prevents this. But I firmly believe that the sparkles that came for my daughter on her toddler birthday were brighter than any sparkles that have ever come for any other nooboo. Ever. Or is that just my motherly bias?

Poor Amelia aged up with no hair. Once she grew some hair, however, it was obvious that even though she had inherited her hair color from me, she would look very similar to her father.

She loves playing with the cat, as well as her creepy little doll from a cousin that I've never even heard of. Ah well. Thornton has taken it upon himself to teach her to talk and potty, and Connor taught her to walk. Mia rarely wants for anything, and when she does, it doesn't take long for her to get it. Would you like toddler spam? I think so.
