Noteworthy: Rhos’ two nephews don’t have names: seeing as their father doesn’t either, I left the names open for all of Rhoda’s living ties. You’ll also see Mr. Lewis isn’t listed below; this is because he’s actually a plottable character for Rhoda! Click here to check him out. Do keep this plot idea in mind when planning for these lads - it will probably affect them in the future <3
Food for Thought: do the boys know of their father’s condition? Or perhaps only one of them? Was one of the Lewis lads the reason Mr. Lewis was bit? If Mr. Lewis’ lycanthropy is a family secret, why are the boys keeping it? If they’re none the wiser, do either of them have suspicions? What will the boys do if they learn of their father’s affliction? Whoever comes along first and picks one of the boys (or Mr. Lewis) gets to decide the answer; I’m open to brainstorming either option with you too!

The spitting image of his late mother, the eldest Lewis boy is a pretty, pretty boy – and just like his mother before him, he’s always been popular amongst his schoolmates (especially the ladies); unlike Rhoda’s late sister, however – who he is always, always compared to nowadays, to his annoyance, especially when he falls short of her legacy as hard-working – her eldest nephew is not the responsible sort of lad. While he is not close with his father, it is very likely his mother spoiled him as her first born, leaving him wanting for next to nothing… at least, until she passed; thankfully, for a while, he was simply forgotten about and left to his own devices by a grieving father. Unfortunately, now that his father has grown ill – rather abruptly, indeed – he has found household duties to him. Unsurprisingly, he is rebelling against the newfound leash on his life rather savagely. Of the two boys, he is more likely to have positive feeling about the sudden arrival of his estranged aunt (whom he probably only heard stories of from his dearly departed mum), as the two of them are a bit more alike in personality and she does not compare him to his deceased mother as much as his father.
(It might be fun to play with that inner turmoil: of loving the memories of the mother who spoiled him but hating the woman his father compares him to all the time!)

Where his older brother is often compared to their late mother in order to get him to shape up, Rhoda’s younger nephew has always had comparisons between himself and his older brother used to discourage bad behavior; to no one’s surprise, the pair do not get along. It’s difficult, no doubt, to have a terrible teenager for an older sibling, to see the tensions between his father and brother grow each passing day. Between knowing – likely by accident, over-hearing as children always do – that his birth caused his mother’s passing and Mr. Lewis’ open struggles to reign in his eldest son, the youngest Lewis boy is shockingly mature for his age (probably to the point that he struggles to cannot with his agemates). He is surprisingly a low maintenance child for his age as well and, while he may seem to get along with his newly arrived Aunt (of whom he knows little of), how he really feels is open to interpretation!
Rhoda is rather detached from gender, but is perceived as female.
