## History

### *Winter's Tales*

#### *Choosing Paths*

"*Our grandma is soooo delusional.*"
—Brody on Anny

Brody and his siblings arrive to the family reunion, and Lorelei introduces him to Winter as the second eldest cousin at the age of eleven. He greets her, giving her his hand politely, and she shakes it. Lorelei also introduces Steph, to which Brody notes that she's a rad driver - better than their mother was, as she nearly got them killed several times. Steph, in addition, notes that she is committed to Washington State University, and her sibilngs chant "go Cougs" in support of her. The cousins move to the base of the couch, and when prompted on what to do, Fanny suggests "shadow animals," making an alligator with her hands. Brody declines, not skilled in that game, but Winter pitches in and proposes guessing an animal based off of background information. Brighting, he agrees, as do her other cousins. Before they can play, their grandmother, Anny, arrives, and Brody mutters that she's delusional. Anny then approaches them, and he greets her formally. She ushers the siblings and Winter onto the couch to hear a story about her connection to the Lord, snapping at Winter for using his name in vein, and Brody and Fanny nod in agreement with Steph when she tells their grandmother not to cause a ruckus.

Ignoring them, Anny launches into her story, but Brody is quick to point out that she copied a real-life story that never involved her in the first place, causing her to become angered. However, Edwin intervenes before she does more, and his response is so powerful that Brody is left stunned. When Lorelei's parents arrive, they embrace Winter's cousins; after the cousins' dad arrives, Brody tells him that they understand his sentiment over him, Fanny, and Steph growing up. They then move to the sofa with Winter, watching sports, and Brody tells Willie that the TV channel has been stuck on sports since they got there. Willie asks if they've watched Shrek, and while he is about to say something on Lord Farquaad, Fanny silences him for nearly swearing. During the reunion, Brody invites Winter to play guessing games with him and his sisters, and she happily agrees. When Edwin lashes out at Lewis for attempting to force Winter to drink alcohol, Brody hides behind Steph and begs his uncle to stop - he's done enough.

#### *Dawn Will Bring Us Death*

Winter's father informs her that he'll be staying in Leavenworth to be with his mother and to check on Barry and his kids, and both Winter and her mother pledge support for her cousins. Once Edwin returns, he reveals that all is well. Later, when Lorelei dies, Brody and his siblings attend her funeral, each solemn, and they share a joint eulogy that shares how she stepped up as a maternal figure for them when their own mother divorced their father. Lorelei encouraged Steph to pursue her dreams of being a motorcycle engineer, urged Brody to be the brother Fanny needed when their elder sister left for college, and persuaded Fanny that it wasn't her fault her mother abandoned her and her siblings.

#### *Return of Snowlight*

In her letter to Winter, Debbie mentions that her cousins have been loving her heroics. When Winter reunites with her extended family at the mall, she greets her cousins, and she notes that Brody is a librarian. Her cousins also help her contact Saul over putting her initials on her knife.

## Personality and Traits

Brody is relatively mellow and friendly, unafraid of voicing his opinions even if they are blunt and could cause others to disagree. He is also sarcastic, judging by his statements toward his grandmother.
