Oh, absolutely. Relationship complications are usually so much more nuanced than someone being the designated bad guy. This line is right up my alley BUT, because I don't have anyone younger on my roaster yet, I think I would like to pick up the sister for you if that's still open!
I equally love the idea of two siblings who have managed to stay tight in spite of the undercurrent of poison from their parents. She wouldn't have wanted to be used as their trophy or a guidepost to make her brother feel bad. I think she would have spent a lot of her life feeling like her accomplishments weren't her own. Going to college was 50/50 wanting a higher education and wanting to get SO FAR AWAY from their folks.
If you have any additional family info while I search for a journal, please let me know! Some pbs I have in mind include Brianna Hildebrand, Debby Ryan, and Elizabeth Gillies. I am not married to these so don't feel bad telling me if you're not feeling any of them. All I've been doing is searching IMDb by birth year.
And I forgot to mention before, Brand and Randy would absolutely know each other. Randy wants to adopt him and feed him so much good food. Their friendship pairing name is officially BRandy.
