Andrew "Andy" Graves

Andrew Graves: Andrew is the older brother of Ashley. He is a lanky young man with pale skin and green eyes. Andrew has unruly, jet-black hair with two long jagged strands that fall over his forehead. He has a slender and thin neck and a sharp jawline. Andrew wears a slightly oversized black sweater with its white label sticking out, grey ripped jeans, and grey trainers with black laces. He is a smoker and is frequently depicted with cigarettes in the story. Andrew is characterized by a generally sarcastic and cynical demeanor, often responding with dry or exasperated remarks. He tends to approach situations logically, frequently justifying his actions as necessary in the moment. He presents himself as polite, friendly and socially well-adjusted. When he is alone with Ashley he drops his restraint, freely swearing and making edgier jokes.

Cynical and Sarcastic: Andrew often uses dry, cold humor and exasperated remarks to deal with stressful or annoying situations. Facade of Normalcy: Andrew tries to act polite, calm, and socially adjusted in public, hiding his inner emptiness. Emotionally Detached: Andrew admits he does not really care about most people and forms few real bonds outside of his sister. Psychological State Traumatized and Codependent: Andrew is heavily tied to his toxic sister, Ashley, trapped in a cycle of shared abuse, guilt, and survival. Morally Grey: Despite seeming like the more reasonable sibling at first, Andrew displays a cold lack of remorse over certain things. Stressed and Resigned: Andrew shows signs of deep mental fatigue, depression, and trauma from his poor upbringing.

Ashley Graves: Ashley is the younger sister of Andrew. She is a young, pale-skinned and thin woman with deep pink eyes and black, shoulder-length, unruly hair, which she keeps in a loose, low ponytail. She shares a good part of her facial expressions with those of her mother. Ashley wears a black choker with a small, circular pendant hanging from it. She also wears a black shirt which reveals her cleavage and the straps for her black brassiere, which are shown to have polka dots in official art of her. She wears grey denim shorts and grey lace-up boots, which are accompanied with black ankle socks. Ashley is characterized by a severe lack of empathy, manipulative behavior, and a sarcastic, cynical attitude similar to her brother’s. Unlike him, though, she tends to act on instinct and gut feelings rather than logic most of the time. She is also known for her extremely foul mouth and crude manner of speaking, and displays signs of extreme internalised misogyny.

Renee Graves: Renee is the mother of the Graves siblings and the wife of Douglas. She has pale skin, green eyes and black hair that she keeps in a loose high ponytail. She also has prominent lines under her eyes that reflect on her weariness. She wears a dark vest over a light shirt, a loose necklace which she inherited from Grandma, and a pleated skirt coming up to her ankles. Renee is a strong willed, blunt and sarcastic woman who deeply regretted having children at such a young age, believing it held her back in life and left her bitter and resentful. Self-centred and neglectful as a mother, she quickly placed Ashley’s care into Andrew’s hands once she realised he was capable and independent, ultimately neglecting both of them in the process. She hated her cleaning job, feeling overwhelmed and humiliated by it. Despite the low opinion she had of her children in adulthood, Renee was extremely defensive of them when they were younger because she saw criticism of them as criticism of herself. Like Andrew, she masked her true personality in public, presenting herself as sociable and approachable. Her more positive qualities—her care, loyalty, and capacity for love—were reserved almost exclusively for her husband.

Douglas Graves: Douglas is the Father of the graves siblings and the husband of Renee. He has jet-black hair and pink eyes similar to those of his daughter; the difference between them is that his eyes are somewhat duller in colour. He also has prominent lines under his eyes that reflect his age and weariness and slightly defined cheekbones. His usual attire consists of a light blue shirt with a white tie, and a grey blazer. Douglas was largely absent from his children’s lives, leading both siblings to view him as insignificant. He didn't even remember Andrew’s name, referring to him as “Anders.” Andrew saw him as pushover and resented the idea of becoming like him. Douglas had issues with his mental health, and at one point was suicidal after merely losing his low-paying job. He was deeply dependent on his wife and their relationship was genuinely affectionate and they were supportive of each other.
