Renata Sprout

Step-Mother | b. 1852 | Apothecary Owner; Healer

Though only related by marriage to half her family, Renata is fiercely protective of her babies like any good mother is. She is determined to cultivate their interests as they arise, including making sure they are seen to and cared for during their lives. Introverted as she is, she delights in hosting close friends for special events at Evergardens and enjoys plotting with her step-daughter to drag all of them into their schemes.

Ezra Sprout

Father | b. 1837 | Owner of Evergardens; Businessman & Healer

As the patriarch of the Sprout family, Ezra Sprout worked hard to be where he was. Having brought his family over to start anew, even with their wealth and name, he met quite a lot of resistance to get his business up and running. Despite all this, he is a jovial man, intent upon keeping his empire of foliage operating smoothly. He rarely comes across an idea he doesn’t entertain at least for a little while, and he depends upon his eldest daughter (more than he realizes) to help him weed out the more….outlandish of expenditures. That being said, he has a hard time saying no to Renata, Philomena and god help him, now Pippa when they team up together. They try not to take advantage of this fact too much.

Andrea Sprout & Ezio _____

Brother & Step-Brother | b. 1862 & b. 1870 | Plant-Based Healers & Evergardens Poison Masters

These two can often be found on the Evergardens premises often together tending to their pride and joy - the Poison Garden. Though only half brothers, and having a bit of a bumpy start, Andrea and Ezio have since found out they have more in common than originally thought. Their combined intellect in overseeing the safe collection of specimens onto their respective destinations is key to helping the ecosystem of the magical greenhouse flourish. (Both don't have to be adopted at the same time!)

Isidore _____

Step-Brother | b. 1870 | Undecided

Theres no one quite Iz like in the Sprout family. Since childhood he’s been attuned to his family’s dynamic, and is quite possibly the more sensitive of the bunch. In a family of horticulturists, Iz feels like the odd-one out when it comes to achievements. By now he thought that he’d have everything decided for him, and was content to coast by on his family’s name alone. Only now has he come to realize that horticulture doesn’t interest him as much as everyone else; and while he loves them all dearly, that is simply not his decided path. He’s yet to tell the family, however, and he’s not entirely chomping at the bit to do so…

Phillippa "Pippa" Sprout

Half-Sister | b. 1888

Pippa is six, and quite mature, thank you very much. The youngest of the bunch, she’s already figured out they’re all wrapped around her little finger, so she naturally gets away with many things including chasing Philomena’s fox around Evergardens and splashing around with the koi fish. She does not know what she wants to do in life; actually she knows what she wants to do, and it keeps changing every fortnight - such is the nature of a six year old - so it does feel as if she’s got the weight of the world on her shoulders, but she is content to whine to her siblings until they abandon whatever task they are doing and come play with her.
