Holland Emily Braden {16} is one of the closely-knit friends of Ian and Pippa Kendrick, particularly close with Pippa, and she is another student of Serena Thomison's husband. Like Ian, Holland is quiet and thoughtful, but she is outgoing, not shy. She is very independent, however, and keeps often to herself when she is not with her group of friends. She has feelings for a guy who is a few years older, who just finished his first year of university after graduating from their boarding school. Unbeknownst to her, he has feelings for her too. Holland has only ever been in one other relationship and she was twelve at the time, so this is new territory for her. Many guys have liked her, but her commitment issues have kept her from a relationship. Her parents are divorced and not on speaking terms with one another, and Holland hasn't seen her father in three years. Her mother shipped her off to boarding school a year after the divorce so she only sees her mother on holidays. Even despite a difficult childhood, Holland is a happy, positive person and she feels fulfilled in her life.

Dinah Eshaal Karim (16) is a dancer on the team Auden coaches. She can be shy and quiet, as her decision to wear a hijab has attracted a lot of attention, the majority of which is unfortunately negative. However, she is an extremely sweet person, wonderful friend, and talented dancer. Auden is always sure that her costumes can be easily made haram by Dinah, if she doesn't make her a custom haram alternative to the team's costumes. She is one of Auden's favorites, and she calls her "the heart of the team."

Khadijah A'dab Karim (12) is the biological sister of Aliya and Dinah and the paternal half-sister of Lisette. Her mother died when she was five, leaving her very close to her older sisters and her father. Khadijah is adjusting fairly well to life in an interracial, interfaith blended family (her stepmother is a white Christian.) She has a stepbrother her age, and they are both still a little surprised with each other. Khadijah loves drawing, animals, playing with Lisette, and wearing jewelry Aliya makes her.

The Hansons

Benjamin Marcus Seth 'Ben' (31) & Melanie Eliza Jane 'Mel' (30)

Tyler Livia Belle  (8), Sutton Elaina Lillian (6), Jude Amalia Clementine (4), Shiloh Maisie Elinor (2 1/2), 

Oakley Sienna Margo (1 1/2) & Elijah Pearl Colette 'Elli' (4 mo)

 

Ben is Karim's family's neighbors . He owns and manages an architectural design company, the

company was started by he and his wife. The two of them work together in running it, he designs the layouts

and she decorates the interior. When he isn't working, he is always with his girls. Whether it be 

playing with them, helping them with their school or just being with them, whatever it is, he loves it.

 

Mel is Ben's wife and the Karim's neighbors. She originally grew up in London,

but now lives in the states with her family, however she has 3 sister and two brothers all around

and they visit each other as often as possible.  She works from home, helping to make sure her and her husband's business runs

smoothly, along with managing everything at home and helping to plan social events at their church.

She adores all of her little girls and the joys they bring to life. Her favorite quiet activity to do is bake or read a book.

 

Tyler is the oldest of the Hanson bunch. She is a wildflower; carefree and adventurous. 

She loves to be outside, climbing a tree, using her imagination in some way or another.

However, she is also very caring and nurturing towards her sisters. She doesn't mind playing

tea parties or dolls with them, or holding little Elli. When she isn't playing she is usually with

her dad or mom, or doodling something in her sketchbook.

 

Sutton is a caring and gentle little one. She loves spending time with her mom or dad,

or playing with her sisters, but she also doesn't mind being alone to read her books.

She also loves to keep an eye on Elli and entertain her.

 

Jude is an independent and outgoing little girl. She's smart and intelligent and learns a lot,

just from watching her older sisters. She enjoys building or putting together things.

When she isn't putting stuff together, she usually is dressing up and putting

on a talent show for her family.

 

Shi is a bright girl who brings a lot of joy wherever she goes. She loves to laugh and

make others laugh, which is very easy with her goofy personality. She usually

is right along side Jude, being a part of the show and rarely doesn't get someone to smile.

 

Oakley is very sweet little girl, but she has a lot of sass and when she doesn't like something, 

she will let you know with shaking her head and waving her little finger. She

loves to follow her sisters around in whatever way. But, when she isn't running around,

after her sisters, she is usually with her parents, cuddling with them or giving lots of

hugs and kisses to her baby sister Elli.

 

Elli is the youngest Hanson baby. She was unplanned and a bit of a surprise. But, she is a very 

easy baby and she has brought a lot of healing to her family, especially her mama,

as Mel had lost a twin in Oakley's pregnancy before her. She is very happy, loves her parents and adores her

older sisters, whom love to entertain her.
