nothing too specific yet. i was thinking about having the parents be divorced, one living in another state while they reside in nantucket (with either mother or father). as for a sibling, a younger brother would be ideal for her to have a love/hate relationship with. they could live with their father so she took to the motherly role and was basically in charge of his well-being and this annoyed the hell out of him. even so, she'd play pranks on him to toughen him up, convince him bloody mary was real, honestly push her luck as much as he'd be the closest to her. she'd remind him that he would be a caveman without her, though she is practically one of the guys herself. and so along the way...that turned out pretty specific. really any further ideas would be appreciated, did you have anything set in mind that you were looking for?
