## Overview

**Evelyn, Bevan, Ainsel,** and **Cassandra** are the oldest step/children of Jacqueline, Shannon, and Saige Caste-Donaldson, as well as Katonah Fordham. Though Evelyn is a few months older (and thus a school year above) the others, the original three have remained close friends even into adulthood. Ainsel joined the group in 2039, when his father married his stepmother and his family moved to the capital. They all have different interests and thus bring something new to the friendship. Now that they are in college (or grad school and professional athletics, in Evelyn and Ainsel's case) and in three different parts of the world, they make sure to visit each other as often as possible.

## Members

### Evelyn Aisu

Evelyn is the oldest of her cousins and is the "mother" figure of the group. She calls them often and always makes snacks for the group, though her friends aren't very keen on some of her more experimental vegan snacks. She's excited to be in vet school, but wishes she wasn't so far away from her home country. Evelyn is happy that her friends are interested in learning Japanese. She happily gives them lessons. She doesn't care much for old movies or museums, but, like a good friend, she tags along with her friends to participate in their favorite hobbies. She makes sure to attend as many of Ainsel's home games as possible.

### Bevan London

Bevan is the sweetheart/heartthrob of the group. He's teased by his friends for constantly flirting and falling in love, but it seems he can't help it. Bevan is fascinated by Kevanese history and is always dragging his friends along on road trips to different parts of the country. He's happy that he decided to stay in Kevana for college instead of leaving the country like Evelyn and Cassandra, though he misses them greatly. Bevan is known for having the most "boring" interests of the group. Nevertheless, he does his best to get his friends to go to old buildings and book launches with him.

### Ainsel Morvere

Ainsel is the group's newcomer. A laid-back, easy-going individual, he quickly befriended the three cousins during winter and summer breaks. Though he isn't as close to them as they are to each other, he enjoys staying in touch with him as he progresses through his career as a closeted professional football (soccer) player in England. Aside from football, Ainsel loves playing the guitar and laments his friends' lack of musical interest. He has no plans to attend college like the rest, but he's comfortable with that.

### Cassandra Caste-Ganga

Cassandra is the youngest in the friend group and is the most outspoken. Since she was adopted two months before she turned three, she befriended Bevan and Evelyn a bit later. As a human, Cassandra sometimes feels left out from Elemental life. Still, she tries not to let that bother her. She speaks English exclusively with her friends (she can't understand Kevanese) and is trying to learn Japanese from Evelyn. Cassandra is very passionate about classic movies and social justice and ensures that her friends are properly informed about global inequality. Now that she's at Columbia University, all the way across the ocean from her friends, she works hard to stay in contact with them and visit when she can.
