Jaxy Rai and Rhiannon D'or
I started fleshing out a little more of Jaxy's past (and Zoe's too) for an upcoming chapter, since I've been thinking about it for a while and it all came together for me recently. I've always had an idea of what Jaxy's story was, but I actually jotted down some specific notes this time. Jaxy now has a mother, who she'll probably visit at some point (out of guilt and obligation). She doesn't know her father, so I didn't even bother to create him. Her story is fairly dark, as I've mentioned before, but I did find a little light in there too.
Here's Jaxy as a teen. She runs away from home during this time, and lives on the streets until she meets Rhiannon.
Rhi doesn't live on the streets, but only because she's taken residence in an abandoned building.
So, for a while, Jaxy does too.
There's more to the story, of course, but I'll leave it at that for now. Rhiannon does play a significant role in her life, while she's in it (yes, that's the key point, right there).
Here's a better look at her. I'm pretty happy with her design. I took an older sim I created for a prosperity challenge and further developed and exaggerated her features. I'm really liking her wide mouth.
The name is a product of all the Fleetwood Mac I've been listening to lately. It's also just a pretty name, and referencing a goddess is always a good thing for a character. D'or is french for gold, and the Rhiannon of Welsh mythology was described as being dressed in gold in one of the stories. I thought it had a nice ring to it. I gave her gold eyeshadow to continue the theme.
This will come up again several updates down the road.

Those poor university students need some sort of past. They don't come with anything in the game (which is what makes them so much fun too).
