jules porter

mama porter. porter matriarch

Julianne, affectionately called Jules by everyone around her (sans her kids, who refer to her as mama for the most part), has never met a stranger. She is practical, down to earth and has strong ideas about right and wrong (and she will let you know it.) In life, Jules has never met a stranger and most people who meet her describe her as a social butterfly. She is friendly and welcoming, and thrives in situations involving people - typically the ultimate host. Thick country accent, that she doesn't try to hide and is proud of (unlike most of her kids.) She is the type of woman who says grace before her meals, attends Sunday service nearly every Sunday, minds her manners with a thank you and ma'am/sir, and has a hard time keeping her mouth shut and can come off as a little abrasive to those who don't know her.

James, through and through, is a mama's boy and he loves his mama. While not the type of Mama's boy who tells her everything ("Some things are better with her not knowing"), he will move mountains to keep her happy. It's not uncommon for him to pop in to visit her, engage in a weekly phone call, or attend church with her (despite his indifference to the existence of a higher power.)

teddy porter

Middle child. Serial killer expert.

With a flair for the dramatics, everyone thought the middle Porter child would grow up to be an actor or a comedian. Unlike James, Teddy tends to wear his heart on his sleeve. You always know what Teddy is feeling, because he's not afraid to share it. Growing up, Teddy wasn't much of an outdoors man. Preferring video games and comic books to hikes - it was a mystery to the whole family when he declared his desire to join the Army when he was 13. Still, no one questioned it too hard, after all his older siblings and father tred similar paths. Teddy began to take a more serious interest in his fitness. He was well on his way until the Summer of 2002 when Teddy was in a car accident that left him wheelchair bound and in physical therapy that disqualified him from the Army. He had to make alternative plans - but first, Teddy had to get through his depression (something that he has carried with him on and off for years.) An attempt on his own life had him in a treatment program, and after going through the program and meeting others who he found fought similar battles, Teddy decided to pursue psychology to help people. Teddy is currently a psychologist by day, but he hosts a True Crime podcast in his spare time as a hobby.

Teddy is divorced, but on excellent terms with his ex-wife Katherine, and co-parents with her easily. Despite the fact that the couple is no longer together, they're on excellent terms and she regularly attends family functions with their twins (age: 6), Jamie and Andora (affectionately referred to as Andy or Dora.)

Teddy once idolized James - and the pair were very close growing up, but had a falling out in the Fall of 2020 and have not really repaired their relationship since. Things are different and forced between them, and despite it having been two years, James isn't sure how to go about repairing the relationship - or even if he wants to.

morrigan porter

ex-wife. soon to be ex-tenant.

Morrigan and James met in the Spring of 2012 at a fundraiser neither were formerally invited to. They're swept off of their feet almost instantly, so much so that when Morrigan is offered a job in Los Angeles a year later in the linguistics department at UCLA, he follows her (and proposes.) By the end of 2014, James and Morrigan are married. Once the honeymoon period passed, James and Morrigan began to experience problems in their relationship - much of it due to differing personalities and a lot of unresolved (and unacknowledged) CPTSD on James' end. When couple's counseling and therapy didn't help the relationship, the couple decided to call it quits and divorced by 2016. It would be two years before they casually bumped into each other in Singapore, both on vacation and checking off items on thier bucketlist. Before the end of the trip, the couple rekindled their romance and upon return to Los Angeles, eloped. The romance lasted about six months before James slept with a coworker and almost over night the relationship dissolved, irrepairable to Morrigan. Morrigan still lives in the house they bought, but she's slowly buying herself out of it. She and James don't talk now more than when they need to discuss items related to the house, but they're mostly amicable.

Personality wise, Morrigan tends to be introverted. She prefers to settle down with a good book than to go out (unless it's to a cafe or quiet restaurant with good wine - and she prefers red.) She is smart, sharp, and incredibly judgy (and wears it all over her face.) She loves to start a debates, but doesn't like to be told she's wrong.
