Elise J. Forbes

FULL NAME: Jonathan James Forbes

PRONUNCIATION: John-a-than / Jay-ms  / Four-buhs.

NICKNAME/ALIAS: Jonathan only went by James seeing as his father was Jonathan. Sometimes, he would let people call him Jim or Jimmy. The only person to call him Jonathan was Elizabeth when she was alive. 

TITLE: James goes by mister (Mr.) but one day hopes to be knighted.

GENDER: James was born and identifies as male.

BIRTHDAY: James’ birthday is March 25th, making him an Aries.

BIRTHPLACE: James was born and raised in Charlotte.

IMMEDIATE FAMILY: James has his parents, Irene and Alexander Sampson. James married Elizabeth Souza when he was 23 and had Alex Forbes at 24 and Elise Forbes at 29. When Elizabeth died, he remarried Kristine Fiori, a mom of one of Elise’s friends, shortly after. He had a set of triplets with her - Penelope, Parker, and Peyton at 47 before they got married. He says it was after Elizabeth died - however, the timing makes no sense. 

PARENTING: James was the more laidback out of the parents. Where Elizabeth was very competitive, James took on the more “best friend” role and would let them relax. He was always there to listen to the kids if needed. However, he is a workaholic and was very rarely home. He is still the same way with Elise’s younger siblings.
