Maddy is eight years old and resembles a typical child. She has peachy skin, sparse freckles, and chestnut-colored hair. She is also blind - though typically wearing sunglasses to hide this, her eyes are a milky white. She wears a pink bow in her hair, and is most often seen with a blue t-shirt with a bunny decal, purple shorts, white socks, and blue moccasin slippers. In terms of personality, Maddy is chipper, excitable, and curious of the world around her. Like most children, however, she easily gets frustrated and lacks a full understanding of the world around her. This combined with her disability and Avery's over-protection causes her to act out in frustration often, feeling trapped and restricted in her own limited world. By extension, she develops very close bonds with James and Iggy, who grant her the freedom and world experiences she craves.

Avery is one of the shorter men of the house at 5'9", with only Terry and Jasper being shorter. He has peachy skin and thick dark brown-red hair, and a blue eye. His right eye has an eyepatch due to being lose in an abuse injury as a teenager at the hands of his mother. He is also missing several permanent teeth from fights at school. He wears a blueish shirt, sometimes with a black vest, jeans, and black shoes. His hair is also coiffed, as opposed to shaggy like most OCs tend to be. In terms of personality, Avery internalized his traumas in the form of unchecked aggression and self-loathing. Despite this, he is incredibly protective of Maddy and tries to be helpful around the house in ways he can. He is, notably, the only character who doesn't have a bedroom, sleeping on the couch instead.
