Otis Lake

* Adult
* Elder

Otis Lake (formerly Lesley Wen, Lesley Lake) is one of the two "founding fathers" or patriarchs of the Lake Estate legacy, alongside Oscar Lake. He lived in the Lake Estate from young-adulthood until his death. Otis is a transgender man, though wasn't found out to be trans until much later in his life as an adult (due to Voloutia's oversight in spinning the wheel for the founding fathers in creation), after he had already given birth to his first four children. It is also confirmed that every child after Otis' first four were an accident (ouch).

## Appearance

Otis had extremely pale, neutral skin, black hair, and heterochromia, or differently colored eyes. His left eye was brown while his right eye was more hazel or green. He also had a fairly flat nose, rectangle eyebrows, defined lips, and monolid eyes.

### Young Adult

As a young adult, Otis had not yet identified as a man, so he still presented female. He had long black hair in two low pigtails. His everyday outfit consisted of beige coveralls and brown boots. He also had much longer eyelashes, and wore gardening gloves. He also donned a golden wedding ring on his left ring finger.

### Adult

Otis went through many different appearances as an adult. After coming out as trans, his hair was worn in a very tight bun, making his face appear longer and wider. He also wore a red button up shirt and black pants, with the same brown boots. At this point, he and Oscar were in the process of divorce, so the wedding ring was no longer being worn.

After more self-discovery, Otis found his most known appearance (which is pictured in the infobox to the right). His hair was shorter and no longer tied back at all. He wore a white dress shirt under a brown waistcoat and a dark tie. He also wore black dress pants and shoes. After their rekindling, and Oscar's untimely death, Otis began wearing his wedding ring again.

### Elder

As an elder, Otis' hair became completely white, and slightly longer. He also wore strands of black and white beads in his hair. All of his outfits became almost completely black, due to Oscar's death. He continued to wear his wedding ring until his passing.

## Young-Adulthood

Otis was an extremely kind and giving person in his young-adulthood. He built the Lake Estate from the ground up and plowed the farm with his own two hands (Oscar wasn't much of a help). Otis and Oscar also got married in their young-adulthood. They eloped in their home not long after Otis was found to be pregnant with Lana. After Lana was born, Otis began working harder on his farm. Though, his home garden alone wasn't enough to sustain he and Oscar's growing family, so he had to get a job as a gardener under a corporation. Due to this, he and Oscar were both away from home a lot and their first few children (Lana, Laurance, Locke, and Lucio) were always stuck with a babysitter at home. Otis mastered the skill of cooking in his young-adulthood, most commonly being the one to cook for Oscar and their children.

## Adulthood

In his adulthood, Otis realized that he wasn't exactly happy with his life. In a bit of a mid-life crisis, Otis was out at a bar and met Travis Scott. In a lapse of drunken judgement, Otis and Travis hooked up, and Otis found out he was pregnant a couple days later, though he didn't remember the encounter with Travis at all! Otis believed the baby was Oscar's, until Lacy was born with light hair, light skin, and light eyes. Both Oscar and Otis were shocked, and the two agreed mutually on a divorce, though reluctantly. Otis was devastated by the divorce, and Oscar was left confused and disappointed. After the divorce, Otis and Oscar agreed to still live in the same house, and take care of the children together, though they didn't have enough money to expand the house, so the two had to take turns sleeping in the bed everyday. Otis mastered the skill of gardening in his adulthood, and quit his gardening job to become a freelance farmer on his own. Not long after the birth of Lacy, and the divorce, Otis came out as transgender. As an older adult, Otis noticed changes in Oscar's behavior. Oscar solemnly admitted that he still had feelings for Otis despite his affair and transition. Otis and Oscar decided to begin forming a relationship again, slowly and gradually. Not long after, Otis discovered that he was pregnant with the identical twins Lavender and Lex. After the twins were born, and the oldest four children had moved out, the family decided to expand the Lake Estate tremendously.

## Elderhood

As an elder, Oscar and Otis had fully gotten back together as a couple. Extremely shortly after Otis reached his elder years, Oscar passed away due to over-exertion right in front of Otis' eyes. Actually, Oscar died three times in the same day, due to Otis desperately pleading to the Grim Reaper every time. After Oscar's death, the Lake Family Cemetery was built, adjacent to the Lake Estate. Otis wore completely black outfits for the rest of his life after Oscar's death. Otis and Oscar actually got engaged again, as Oscar's ghost unexpectedly proposed to Otis not long after his death, though before his urn was moved to the cemetery. Lacy and Lex also moved out in Otis' elderhood, while Lavender stayed behind to inherit the Estate. Otis continued to raise Lav and Lex throughout his growing years, struggling more and more to keep up. Not many days after Laurance's marriage to Roy, Otis himself went to the Lake Family Cemetery to visit Oscar's ghost on Love Day. While there, Otis and Oscar's ghost got remarried. Not long after, Otis passed away in the front yard of the Lake Estate, just in front of the observatory. He passed away just a day before Lav and Lex's young adult birthdays. His urn resides right next to Oscar's, on Oscar's piano in the Lake Mausoleum. His urn's engraving reads "Bro I'm here. , Otis" in humorous response to Oscar's urn's engraving which reads, "If my husband's urn isn't next to mine I'm going to haunt you bitches. , Oscar".
