The "family" was the six of them, they only had each other. Most of them had lost their parents to demons, or had something else happen to them, but it was home. They fought together, ate together… this was home to Ylva more than anything else. These five other individuals.
Terrance, young 30's, Filipino descent, tanned skin, and dark brown eyes. He had big round glasses perched on his nose, his hair swept back neatly with what certainly smelled like hair spray. His tattoos covered his hands, leading up his arms. He was currently wearing a croptop and jeans, leaning back casually against his chair as he chatted with the other three at the table. When he saw Ylva, Esther, and Gou, he waved and smiled kindly.
His boyfriend, Alex, was checking over the food, making last minute preparations. The two of them wore matching rings, most likely engaged or married. He was smiling at the moment, looking rather content. He was probably the palest in the group, with fiery red hair and freckles everywhere. His sharp blue eyes flicked over to Ylva, Gou, and Esther. He glanced over at Ylva curiously before nodding in greetings to the trio.
Michael, as usual, was sitting in his chair, pouring over a giant book, muttering under his breath. He had fuzzy blonde hair cut neatly into a buzz cut, deep brown skin, and kaleidoscope eyes. He glanced up at the three of them, raised his hand in greetings before returning to his book. He looked to be in his mid to late 20's.
Harper, in their young to mid 20's stuck out like a sore thumb compared to the group. Their eyes were a pure white, glimmering faintly in the light of the dining area. A golden aura ebbed off of them, radiating some sort of power… it was a little offputting. They were still definitely human, but also much more than that. Their hair was cut at medium length, pitch black and resting around their shoulders. They turned their gaze to Gou and their eyes perk up slightly in surprise. However, they didn't say anything and they became relaxed again.
"Please take a seat, make yourself comfortable." Alex greets warmly. "I'm Alex, this is Harper, Terrance, Michael… and you've met Esther and Ylva. I'm just finishing up dinner preparations." He had pointed to each person respectively before moving into the kitchen to grab a few more things. It looked like a feast had been prepared based on how much food was on the table.
Esther sat down next to Harper and ruffled their hair fondly. Ylva sat at the head of the table, leaving room for Gou at her right hand side.
