Mohammed is the cranky little pride and joy of his father Mustafa. The first son, the heir, the world...
Welcome little guy and be thankful for your sisters and stepmother as your own mother handles you like a trophy and doesn't do anything for you except nursing.
When Lizzie was just born it was very clear she took after her father strongly. She's friendly but has an iron will and the same ways of getting what she wanted. Not an easy time for her family but with two big sisters to help her mother Elisabeth caring for her, Lizzie's baby days were managable.
As a toddler Lizzie was always up to something. She resembled her father even more on the outside and looking in her little brown eyes is seeing Mustafa all over.
When she transitioned to a child it became clear that Mustafa wasn't the only one with an influence on her character. She loves food almost as much as playing tricks on her sisters and has a really sweet tooth. The neighbours soon learned to not leave any cakes unsupervised as Lizzie is very prone to just sit down and eat the whole cake on her own. Her mother sees this with delight but Mustafa already fears having to marry off an overweight daughter...
Cheryl was adopted into the Kaplan family as a child. Her biological parents had been giving her up because they had twin boys born and decided they'd rather feed them but her. Sad story but it had a happy end. Cheryls character can be best described as a tomboy. She is and always has been a little fighter.
In her first few teenage days she kept the tomboy attitude but was then convinced by her strict adoptive father to adjust to the family's culture better. Gone were the baseball caps and tanktops, exchanged for braids and skirts. There she is now, waiting for the day her secret love Olaf Svensson graduates from college and marries her. He sure will, won't he?
Ebru just recently moved out of her parent's house and couldn't be any happier about it. She rent a small rowhouse near the beach and lives there with another young Pirri woman that just recently graduated from college, Isabella Garcia Rupio.
Alexandra Kaplan (n.e. Beck) moved to Pirri Beach when she decided to give her life a new twist. She had an easy time passing the tests as she had a job as a nurse and medical experts were well needed in Pirri Beach at that time. She doesn't work in her job anymore though because her husband, Mustafa, believes in women to be bound to the house and deliver sons.
Elisabeth Kaplan was born in Simkistan and surprised her whole family with her red hair. Her mother was suspected of bravery but after long research it was discovered that her great-great-grandmother had red hair herself. Mystery solved.
Her husband Mustafa was fascinated by her 'exotic' looks and decided on the spot that she had to be his wife. Soon after they married, still in Simkistan and their first daughter Ebru was born.
Elisabeth is devastated that she wasn't able to give birth to Mustafas son and hates his second wife with a passion. She encouraged Ebru to not marry too soon, much to the disliking of her husband but that was the one exception to her general submission to his plans.
She was a beautiful teenager and as such chosen by Mr. Simmons as his second wife. She willingly married him as her only true wish in life was to have as many children as she could before simopause. After the quiet and informal wedding in the Simmons' backyard she was soon pregnant and gave birth to her first daughter Nkemi, still being a teenager herself.
When she finally transitioned to an adult only one day after Nkemi's birth it showed she had gained quite a lot of weight during pregnancy. She doesn't care though as she plans to conceive the next little Simmons as soon as possible...
