My family is one of the more powerful in Japan.

Uh, is there a ticky box marked other I can choose? Take my family, please?

Yeah, you could say my blood relations and I don't get along very well. I think my Dad wishes he’d pushed Mom down the stairs more often in her first trimester. I bet they don't even realize I haven't been home in almost a year.

Then there's my Uncle Rory. He's a taxidermist but not a very good one, if there is such a thing. He tends to get drunk and put the glass eyes in wrong so all the little dead critters are cross eyed. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. The Harris Family Gatherings are what White Trash Christmas Specials are made of.

Then there's my real family, the people I'm related to in no way whatsoever. Willow, my heart-sister. Buffy, protector and annoying big sister rolled into one. Giles, mentor, teacher, father. Oz, the wacky cousin. And Cordelia, the ex-girlfriend who ruled my life with an iron fist for a time. I've got to say, I'm glad we made up over the prom dress thing; I don't know who I'd insult if I didn't have her in my life.

Okay, that's not true. I'd call Deadboy up in L.A. in the middle of the day to tell him his hair looks stupid. And he dresses funny.

That's a good idea actually, I wonder if he's listed in the yellow pages? Then I can annoy him long distance.

Still, everyone goes on and on about how blood is thicker than water. Well I'll tell you, if you're in the desert on your last legs, which would you want more, blood or water? I'll take the family I chose for myself, thank you. BFF means more to me than DNA.

Even if it is really girly.

Family. I've got loads. There's mum and me sisters, dad's passed on. There's gran, my aunties, cousins and the neices. Sunday lunch gets busy.

Sadly, I don't see Alison's parents much. Nice folks but they weren't too happy I'd married her in the first place, and I know they blame me for her death. All the coppers doing. Well, I'm only just starting to not blame me and I know I didn't have anything to do with it. I'm not sure if they'll ever reach a point where they accept it.

Still I'm lucky my family is big and forgiving. They took good care of me after she died and I can't thank them enough.

Then there's Jack. He's like family too. I think mum has a bit of a thing for him. He's got no one of his own, him being divorced and all, so we've taken him into our family. I know he appreciates it, even if he does complain.

I am not a family man...

Family is an interesting concept to a digital construct. Before I came to Mainframe, my family were the other Guardians, sprites like myself who worked to protect the Net and those who people it. I don't remember my parents, as Guardians are selected at the point of their initial compilation; birth, I guess, as you humans would call it. Our code is scanned to see if we have what it takes to make a good Guardian. I'm sure I have parents out there somewhere, as I must have inherited something from their code bases.

That said, my true family are my friends: Dot, Enzo, AndrAIa, Phong, Mouse, the Surfer, and Frisket. Heck, even that crusty old barnacle, The Crimson Binome, is in there, proving himself truly dependable despite being a pirate. And that's what it comes down to for me, really: those who you make a place for in your heart.

I am descended from a very old and very wealthy pure-blood wizarding family. I won’t bore you or myself with details, but you must be aware that I only consider my mother and father, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, to be my real family.

We are in disgrace. We chose the wrong side during the war and now we are paying the price. I think we probably deserve it.

I care not for blood supremacy or status. I care not for how long the Malfoys and the Blacks have been in existence. I just want to be happy. I just want Mother and Father to be happy. Although I still live at the Manor with them, I am unsure what they want. I’m too afraid to ask.

I had one once. They're all dead now.
Well, I shouldn't say that. I have a niece lurking somewhere...

My father was German, my mother Japanese. I had a younger brother and a younger sister, though I remained the smallest. We lived in Germany, England, and finally America. Ernest never saw New York, he was killed in France. My parents died in London. After they were gone, Elsie moved to the West Coast with her pilot husband. I did not see them again as we'd parted on bad terms.

I have no blood relations left, though I have plenty of adopted family. I am mother, god-mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin, sister, or simply friend to almost everyone who walks through my door. They are not just clients they are...well...family.

Because family is just another word.

My parents died when I was sixteen, almost seventeen. Since I wasn't allowed to care for myself, I was placed into the care of my uncle. He was an important business man, who had no time for me, but didn't want me to be made ward of the state or completely on my own. He helped pay for the rest of my schooling, if I couldn't make ends meet, but for the most part I was on my own. He died a few years ago, I was his only living relative, so he left me everything.

Family is important to creating an alias' history. Everyone has one and you have to a convenient excuse not to have one. It is one of the most complicated lies a person has to create and keep straight. If one fails at creating a family your whole new persona could fall apart.

Family was all that I had, and then I lost even that.

It was a small family, made so by the fact that I didn't want to let anybody else get close to us. People get close, means we -- and they -- were opening ourselves up to getting hurt again. The boys had already lost their mother. I wasn't going to ask anybody else to come into that.

So yeah, it was a small family. Just me and the boys. But it worked for us. We did well enough. We might've had our problems, maybe more more than our share, but we've done all right. We've survived.

My family might be down to just the boys now, but that's all right. Because I love them and I'm proud of them, moreso than they'll ever know.
