lie lightly, gentle Earth

Nolan J. Cromwell — 10 years Emily’s senior. 6′3″. Relatively easy-going, but incredibly stubborn, and more forgetful than he cares to admit. he studied civil engineering in New Optain, where he now lives half-time, spending the other half in the guest house on the family farmstead, volunteering his aid to Wiradu’s city government to plan improvements to their small town. very amicably divorced from his childhood sweetheart who now lives in East City, with whom he had a son, named Travis. They share 65/35 custody, with preference to his mother, as she’s since remarried and doesn’t travel as frequently as Nolan. 

James “Jim” R. Cromwell — 8 years Emily’s senior. 6′4″. The rough-and-tumble “troublemaker” in his youth with a heart of gold, and an almost unmatched love for animals. On-again, off-again cigarette smoker, he’s always been trying to chase a dozen dreams at once and lets himself get stressed out over it. Until, that is, he meets and settles down with his wife, Felicity, and they run a small dairy farm, about a twenty-minute-walk from the main Cromwell farm & orchards. No kids, but 3 dogs, some ducks, and horses for the pair.

Wesley “Wes” Dean Cromwell — 5 years Emily’s senior. 6′0″. He gets a bigger spread because he’s Easy’s favorite, and everyone knows it. The most similar in temperament to the Earthshaker, Wes is an infallibly sweet, bright, and open-minded boy, who seemingly can’t leave the house without making a new friend. He has every intention of taking over the family business, and likes nothing more than to spend a morning driving their truck into the city, with crates full of peaches and berries to deliver to local markets. Dreams of road-tripping through all of Amestris, and into whatever other countries will have him.
