Louis and Lestat, after a couple of years in their on-and-off, slightly toxic relationship, have finally gone to therapy, worked through most of their problems, and decided to stay together. A few years later, they got married and moved back to New Orleans from France to be closer to Louis's family (and away from Lestat's). Upon hearing the news that Grace is pregnant againâfive years after having a little boy, but this time with twinsâthe couple realises something might be missing from their own lives and decides to adopt a child. However, after going to the agency looking for just one child, they end up submitting applications to adopt two inseparable girls with similar namesâa decision that will change their lives forever.
Hi everyone! Iâm a super visual person when I read and write, and I think itâs fun to picture the charactersâwhether that's their vibe, personality, or overall environment. Since some people have a hard time visualizing things, I figured Iâd make mood boards and give a little background for each character. By the way, this story takes place in a modern AU!
Claudette "Dottie" Marie de Pointe du Lac de Lioncourt, or as her parents, aunt, and grandmother call her, Dottie Mae, is the older of the twinsâonly by a month and a half. She finds herself often distracted by little things and is very curious. As a little kid, that got her (and her sister, whom she roped into things) in trouble.
Dottie is an influencer and vlogger. She takes after Lestat in the way of being a dramatic actor, just like her papa, and she also learned to play piano.
Dottie loves music about love and is very into crybaby, breakup, and love songs, although her playlist is very broad and she listens to all types of music. Her top artists are definitely Laufey, Liana Flores, Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, and Patrick Watson (Lestat is so happy she listens to a French artist). Although she does listen to the Jackson 5 a lot, she often gets into small arguments with her sister about not being a real fan because she doesn't know anything about them except that Joe Jackson was a horrible person.
Dottie and her sister both do theatre (Lestat insisted); however, Dottie mostly does musical theatre, and she also does dance, specifically ballet. Neither she nor her sister can do any type of sport without somehow getting hurt.
Dottie loves to write and read. She has multiple journals she writes in, and she has a YouTube and TikTok where she reviews books and talks about her writing. She one day hopes to become a writer, and really looks up to her uncle Daniel.
Neither Dottie nor her sister can cook or bake to any capacity, and Dottie once burnt noodles because she forgot they were on the stove and took a nap.
Dottie likes going to church with her Auntie Grace not because she especially religious but because she like spending the time with her Auntie and cousins and she kind views it as part of culture kinda like how her papa insisted that bot her and her sister knows French
Dottie has a boyfriend she met one day when she went record shopping with her sister; his name is Charlie.
Dottie loves her sister more than anything and, more times than not, sleeps in her room with her. She once even stayed in her sister's room while she was sick, and they both ended up with the fluâgiving them another reason to spend the week in each other's rooms.
Claudia "Dia" Grace de Pointe du Lac de Lioncourt, but most of her family calls her Dia Grace, which she doesn't really care for as she's gotten older. Dia is the younger of the twins and, although most take her for the older one because of her personality, she is very blunt and sarcastic. It's not in a mean way (for the most part), but more like if you ask for her opinion on an outfit or situation, she'd be like, "That dress looks horrendous." This got her into a lot of trouble when she was younger because she would call people or things names when she was just being honest, so Louis and Lestat had to have a conversation with her about how "sometimes it is a little better to be kind than to be honest all the time." She has since grown a little bit of a filter.
Dia loves photography like Louis, but prefers to take more colorful, lively photos versus her dad's mostly black-and-white, still-life photos. She even asks her sister to model for her sometimes. Dia also loves acting and, like her sister, is in theatre, although she sticks more to dramatic plays, but she loves anything classic. She thinks that she wants to become a director.
Dia doesn't really like going to church because she feels like she's being judged, if even only a little bit, but goes because she knows it's important to her Auntie Grace and Grandmother, so she sticks it out, and getting to see her cousins helps too.
Dia loves music. She has so many records and plays the electric guitar, and for her 13th birthday, Louis and Lestat got her the cherry red one she'd been asking for for monthsâeven if she did get yelled at a couple of times for trying to play at full volume at 1 AM. Her music taste definitely leans older; she loves music from the '80s to the 2000s, but does listen to some more modern artists. Her top artists are Prince, The Cure, Paramore, Kendrick Lamar, and Michael Jackson/The Jackson 5 (she gets sad when she remembers he's dead).
Dia is the biggest rage-baiter ever, but is also very easily rage-baited and is often the victim of her sister's rage-baiting.
Dia has a girlfriend and is gay, but she hasn't told anyone except her sister and cousins because she doesn't want her dads to go crazy about it (she low-key thinks Lestat might throw a rainbow party). Her girlfriend's name is Madeline, and she met her at their school during theatre one day when Dia was trying to get to her costume and Madeline helped her. They've been inseparable ever since.
Dia is very, very, very protective of her sister and willâand hasâphysically and verbally fought people over her.
Lestat is the ultimate girl dad. He loves his twins so much; in fact, he was actually the one who wanted to adopt twins instead of just one child, and the moment he saw the girls, he instantly fell in love.
He stayed home with the girls a lot because Louis was away at work or on tour. Because of this, he became very caught up on all the classic girl childhood TV shows. He absolutely loves My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and the classic Barbie movies, but he absolutely hates the newer versions.
Both of the girls spoke French as their first language. They even grew up thinking their actual names were "Ma petite" and "Mon ange" because of how often Lestat called them that. Lestat spoke in broken English for the first few years after they moved from France to New Orleans, and he still occasionally does today.
Lestat has the biggest sweet tooth imaginable. He always wanted curly hair like the rest of his family, so he tried using curly hair products. Through that process, he actually discovered that he has beautiful wavy hair, which made him feel much better about himself.
Lestat used to watch videos for tutorials on how to the girls hair and learned how to do it so well that Grace started asking for help with her twins hair.
Lestat works as a model, actor, and singer. However, he took a hiatus from showbiz to stay home with the girls while Louisâs career took off. Now that the girls have gotten older, he has made a massive comeback and is low-key even more popular than before.
Lestat is incredibly dramatic and has made a habit of talking about himself in the third person, especially when he is speaking to the girls. He absolutely loves family time and makes a weekly Family Night strictly mandatory. He is also very involved in the girls' school and volunteers there all the time.
Lestat is in a fued with Armand
Louis is the ultimate bald Black dad. Whenever the girls ask for money, he doesn't even ask what it's for at this point; he just sends it with a thumbs-up emoji.
Louis takes the girls on his tours through Europe and Dubai and always takes them to see Armand and Daniel and their twins (much to Lestat's disdain).
Louis is the one to take the girls to learn how to drive because, according to Lestat, "his heart is too weak to go through that fear."
Louis only shops for groceries at the farmers markets and only lets the girls have organically grown veggies and fruits, and he makes sure everything they have is cruelty-free.
Louis had a home gym installed in the house for the family and ended up being the only one who used it because he banned the girls because they kept getting hurt, and Lestat because he kept trying to do non-gym-appropriate workouts ;)
Louis sits outside the dressing room or in a car with a drink on his phone and watches the girls model clothes they picked out.
He orders, organises, and takes yearly family photos.
Louis almost always cooks dinner and tries to treat the girls.
