## Overview

**Morgan, Stellaris, Lunaris, Li Mei,** and **Mydern** are five of the step/children of Mia and McKenna Caste-Donaldson, Katonah Fordham, and Celestia Jiang. All five are in the same grade level at school, and as of 12/31/2041 they are in their second year of college. Their interests differ, but because their mothers are very close, they have known each other their entire lives and have formed a tight clique. Though they attend different universities, they keep in touch.

## Members

### Morgan Illhenney

Morgan is the handsome-yet-aloof oldest member of the quintet. He is often the recipient of party invitations, but usually leaves the socializing to Stella. When Mydern Marsden arrived in their senior year of high school, the two initially did not get along. Over time, though, the two became friends. He is closest to Luna and Li Mei. Between hockey, sailing, and cello, Morgan doesn't have a lot of spare time. Unlike his friends, he elected to leave the Eastern Hemisphere and attend Yale University for college.

### Stellaris Caste-Oterua

Stellaris ("Stella") is the most outspoken of the quintet and twin sister of Lunaris. She has embraced her role as the crown princess of Kevana and future Fire Keeper by being organized, well-rounded, and sometimes overbearing with her need for staying on schedule. She is heavily into politics and can be found reading theory in libraries when she has downtime. She often coaxes Luna into watching rom coms with her, a habit Luna likes more than she cares to admit. Stella also plays the saxophone, though reluctantly. She is closest to Luna and Mars. She is attending Oxford University and occasionally has lunch with her cousin Evelyn, who is a graduate student there.

### Lunaris Caste-Oterua

Lunaris ("Luna") is the most reserved of the quintet and the twin sister of Stellaris. Content to live in her sister's shadow, Luna spends her time creating art via different mediums and running her artist Instagram account. Sometimes she sits down in public places to people-watch and sketch strangers. She is a great violinist, beginning at the age of five, and plays in the highest school orchestra alongside Morgan. She is closest to Stella and Morgan. Though she loves attending Sihon College of Arts and Sciences, she misses her twin sister during the long semesters.

### Li Mei Chen

Li Mei ("Mei") is the fourth member of the quintet. Before Mars arrived, she was the only member of the friend group who wasn't related to the others. Despite that, she serves as the glue, which comes in handy as Stella and Morgan are prone to arguments. Li Mei is fascinated by astronomy and has chosen it as her area of study for college. She is also an avid fan of video games and will talk her friends' ears off about the latest updates from the industry. She plays the clarinet in a lower band like Stella. Li Mei is closest to Morgan and Luna. She attends the Disena Institute of Technology and coordinates with Luna to visit each other at least once a month.

### Mydern Marsden Morvere

Mydern ("Mars") is the youngest and most mischievous of the quintet. He arrived at Exeter Academy in his senior year and immediately made his mark, dating his way through the school and clashing with Morgan. Over time he mellowed out and his reputation has changed from "dog" to "dependable". Mars loves to cook, aspiring to be a world-renowned chef. He attends the Culinary Institute of Kevana. When he can, he surprises Stella while visiting his footballer brother in England, occasionally managing to drag her to games with him. He is closest to Stella and Li Mei.
