General information

Is this pregnancy planned or a surprise for your pups? Surprise.

How do you see this pregnancy and subsequent child impacting your character? How will this contribute to their overall storyline and development on the island? Please include an explanation of how this affects both the mother and the father (if the father is currently on the island).

Faye Valentine is a woman who hailed from a very loving family and had what was arguably a normal childhood. She had every intention of going out and grabbing life by the horns, starting a family of her own once she'd accomplished some of her dreams, but being caught in as serious of an accident as she was set that back entirely. She currently believes herself barren, so the surprise itself will have an immediately strong impact on her, and will in fact even be negative, as she's of a rather fatalistic mindset.

The short-term impact thus forces her to look at some of the issues she has surrounding abandonment; the longer goal would be to help her see that it's possible to maintain a family, particularly with someone she loves, and thus introduce her to a part of life she's always wanted, but gave up on long ago.


Dean will be over the moon from day one. While his sister is young enough that he's raising her as his own child, the familial distinction is clear in Dean's mind, and a child of his own is something he's wanted ever since Sam was old enough to leave home.

He will be an extremely hands on parent, interested and involved in every facet of the child's life, and also, possibly to Faye's annoyance, there for every step of the pregnancy. He'll likely propose within a month of finding out, and while he'll be shot down, this won't deter him at all from being there for both mother and child in every capacity he can.

In long terms, Dean is already well used to juggling many responsibilities and the needs of small children, and will take the changes that come with a new baby in stride. Above all, he'll be thrilled to be a father, and won't take it for granted for a second.

You are creating a new character that will need to be NPC'd through infancy and possibly become a played character in the long run. Please describe how you think this character may grow - what sort of person they will become, their personality and eventual place in the island as a whole.

Although she'll likely come to terms with being a mother before the child grows to notice one way or the other, a child reared in part by Faye Valentine is almost certainly going to experience a strange amount of distance from her mother. On the other hand, Dean is an intensely loyal person in a very tactile and immediate way, likely to be very hands-on about parenting. Being shown two completely different reactions from her parents, we believe the Valentine-Winchester child would grow up very curious, and potentially very insightful. With an aunt only a few years older, she'll also never want for company, probably the meeker of the pair of children.

With her parents coming from the worlds that they do, we also anticipate that the child would end up facing a lot of chaotic and emotional times over the years, growing stronger for it, but always with the complete devotion of her parents. At current— and, of course this is subject to change depending on what events take place— we picture the child growing up bright and even-tempered with plenty of inner steel.

Do you understand that committing your pup to a pregnancy plotline is making an extremely long term commitment that can not be easily backed out of because of character bleed, the father of the pup leaving the game, breaking up of the parent pups' ship, or boredom with the storyline? Yes; neither mun has any plans to drop the characters.

Do you also understand that due to the sensitive nature of such plots and the need to be considerate of players who might have experienced these issues in real life, plots involving miscarriage (real or threatened), stillbirth, or death of the baby after birth require moderator approval? Yes.

If you plan on multiples (twins, triplets, etc), please explain your canon-based justification for this. N/A; there will only be one child.
