Maid for Life + Half Sisters - Dramatis Personae, Part 1
Added 2024-08-07 03:01:00 +0000 UTCHere's Part 1 of the "dramatis personae" for both Maid for Life (Sandy's origin story) and Half Sisters. The part covers all of Maid for Life - and is over 5,000 words! π«’
The characters are listed βin order of appearance.β That is, when they show up in the comics.
The goal of this document is to serve as both a quick reference guide and to provide more detail on the backgrounds and motivations of the characters. There's also a lot of new information on each character's history that will hopefully enhance your reading experience!
Now, I really need to give a special shout-out to my friend Tim. He did a ton of research back into the comics to make sure the details were correct. He also wrote a draft for each of the characts which were excellent! His effort really helped clarify the connections between characters and their development throughout the series. Thank you, Tim! π
I'll keep this document updated as the story progresses. My goal is to one day have a wiki-style resource that you can easily access. Why? Well, because I think that'd be cool. π
Part 2 will also be posted this month and will have all the characters from Half Sisters. So stay tuned for that!

Thank you, Stacy! More coming. π

2024-08-19 21:48:09 +0000 UTCWell certainly. Ms. Ferris would already be doing them quite a favor by taking them in from Second Dawn. She would be under no obligation whatsoever to undo their transformation, if that is even possible. I'm sure Mortimer could make that very clear to the hypothetical new girl in terms they'd understand.

2024-08-16 20:31:28 +0000 UTCThank you, Robert! Tim did such a wonderful job taking my scattered notes / ideas from across the comics and organizing them into a cohesive whole. It made my editing job very easy! And it was honestly wonderful to see that the characters have remained consistent even with all that has happened to them. I'm looking forward to getting you Half Sister's version, too!

2024-08-16 19:43:17 +0000 UTCNow that is quite the interesting thought, Richard! Although given Mortimer's penchant for administering unasked for estrogen, Connor might still end up as Connie!

2024-08-16 19:17:51 +0000 UTCThank you so much, Gemma. I'm still working on the Half Sisters edition, but I hope you will enjoy it!

2024-08-16 19:17:14 +0000 UTCGreat, and generous, work by Tim and yourself, Emory. The detail is meticulous and helps us to remember some of the key elements from the beginnings of the saga, especially Scott/Sandyβs psychological makeup. Very revealing. It explains not only how strong sheβs become but also how vulnerable she remains at heart. If the relationship between her and Elaine blossoms into a genuine mother and daughter bond it will give her the bulwark she lost when her parents died. And if her relationship with Josh continues to develop, sheβs all set.

2024-08-11 07:24:08 +0000 UTCOuch! (on Conners behalf re jibes).
Gemma
2024-08-08 21:56:24 +0000 UTCI think it just makes sense. Ms. Ferris is increasingly antagonistic towards second dawn, she's powerful and wealthy enough to provide basic security for Connor, and a highly experienced intelligence officer would be an invaluable addition to her own security. Though I could still see some jibes thrown in about how they look more like a barracks bunny than an intelligence officer.

2024-08-08 13:04:34 +0000 UTCSounds delicious, Bos! As for Jordan Davis - all we know is that he was last seen with Mortimer... π

2024-08-08 05:27:36 +0000 UTCNice, compassionate thought.
Gemma
2024-08-08 00:41:20 +0000 UTCIt would take quite some maneuvering, but I think it would be interesting to see an interaction between Mortimer and Conner, given both of their extensive military backgrounds. Like if Conner somehow ended up at the Ferris estate, Mortimer might recognise the soldier in them and maybe offer a position on Ms. Ferris' security team. Wouldn't be a bad fate at all, especially compared to what is currently lined up for them.

2024-08-07 22:50:09 +0000 UTCApologies for the lateness in replying, muse Emory. I was being busy writing and editing Tammy Lynn's and Krystyna's stories...including Summer's baby mama having a dream/nightmare snippet aboard Royal Marlin...Mr. Xu's yacht. I hope nothing...too bad...happened to Mr. Davis. He seems like his brother in so many ways...too many to count. Speaking of Royal Marlin, I'm having some grilled salmon tonight and tonight at work, my muse. With mashed potatoes and herbs.

2024-08-07 15:17:31 +0000 UTCYou're welcome, Emory... and thanks back at you for letting me contribute in some small way to your incredible portfolio. I'm really looking forward to Part 2 as you've introduced so many amazing characters in Half Sisters that I'm sure all of us are dying to know more about.
Tim
2024-08-07 13:48:05 +0000 UTCπ€£ Different Davis! This is his older brother, Jordan - his "in" with Mr. Xu and Second Dawn. Too bad Jordan hasn't been seen since he visited the Ferris estate and Mortimer caught him being a sadistic creep with Sandy...

2024-08-07 04:49:19 +0000 UTCYou literally could not have selected a less fattering I mean, flattering picture of Davis. Cackling when I saw the picture youβd chosen. I canβt believe you left out that Davis enjoys impersonating the voices of his victims when civilians call or ask about them.

2024-08-07 04:40:00 +0000 UTCWow! To start Emory a magnificent and detailed dramatis personae you (with Timβs help) have created. To start, I Judy love the beautiful detailed images of all the characters (are different time phases) that you have created. The backstories of the various characters, as you intended, flesh out and provide such a great understanding into the different events, factors and issues that shape and motivate who they become. Although Ken/ Kendra full story has not yet been presented, and I know I should despise this character, I canβt help but be drawn to her. Maybe it is because you have made green look so pretty and attractive? I think I am also drawn to Kendra because of the various dynamics being played out in relation to her and to be played out and experienced by this character in a very real way around β the themes forced feminisation.β I look forward to the next dramatis personae you provide on other characters. This all adds to the depth and authenticity in relation to this awe-inspiring, sumptuous and breathtaking alternative subworld you have created.
