What was Leroy's family like? Not necessarily wife and daughters, but his mother, father, and siblings? Does he still maintain decent contact and how does he feel towards them?
“I grew up with a hard working and honest family, in my humble opinion. Though we didn’t have much in the ways of wealth, I think we made up for it by making sure we looked out for each other.” “My father, Joel Murrand, was a farmer as was his father before him. He spent time training animals for labor, as well as for use against the constant war against the dragons as battle mounts. My mother, Celene, was a midwife for the small town we lived in. I’m fairly sure most children my age she helped bring into the world. I was used to her leaving at sudden times, and father would then watch over the rest of us while mother was away.” “And truth be told, things were hectic. Especially with three boys in the house. I was the oldest out of the three. Evan Murrand was second, and much later, Triston Murrand became the last. He was a surprise, but not unwelcome, of course. Since mother and father were busy a lot of the time, it was more or less my responsibility to keep watch over them. I wasn’t really -raising- them, per se, but they looked up to me, and knew I wouldn’t steer them wrong. They’ve grown into fine men, each with their own interests and dreams. I’m sure mother and father would be proud of their accomplishments. “
“Unfortunately my father died before my mother, and barely before the Calamity due to heart complications. My mother did not survive the Calamity itself either. Victims to the sudden temperature changes and older age. It compounded with the rest of my losses. Both of my brothers are alive, however. As far as I know, they are doing alright for themselves... but I’ll be honest. I’ve not really talked much with them since the Calamity and more... recent troubles. I’d rather leave them out of my personal business, when their own are just as difficult. I don’t need them thinking that their older brother is having a hard time. It’s an older sibling thing, I wager.” “But, Evan is currently married to his lovely wife, Freya. They do not have any children as they are unable to, but are heavily looking to adopt, as there is no shortage of orphans in Ishgard. They sound very excited, and I hope they find a wonderful addition to their family. Triston is single, and is a carpenter by trade. He travels a lot, and makes custom orders for things. He’s a little harder to keep track of. A little more independent than Evan, or myself.” “I hope both are doing alright. I probably should write or... something.”
