#maki ando

We get the pop-up that Maki has passed away.

Maki is Kristina’s mother. She met Magnus when he still lived in Sulani (in his childhood home). SHe was very young when she found out she was pregnant and the young couple decided to move to his parents’ home. There, they had Johanna Ando-Vasa.

As the house was getting a bit crowded (with the news that Magnus’ parents were expecting again!) they decided to move to Magnus’ sister Astrid’s home. Maki wasn’t too thrilled, and as she was still dabbling in her career as a criminal she didn’t necesserily wanted to live with too many people who could snoop around.

Well, she obviously adjusted. As they moved in their daughter Johanna was a toddler. Not soon after Kristina was born. Astrid, who seemed like the 4ever single, had by then met a man and was also expecting. However, Taku died a horrible death by gnome lightning and Maki found herself being the closest person for Astrid to confide in - and to help her with her (already by birth) fatherless twins.

They years passed after that, Maki continued in her career but her focus was more and more on her family. Johanna eventually met Per and moved out to start a family of her own. Kristina was nearing adulthood too when Maki found herself pregnant again! Baby Elisabeth Ando-Vasa was born into a household of teens and young adults. Eventually, all of the other children moved out.

Maki lived to see Elisabeth become a teen.

She will be mourned by her husband Magnus, her sister-in-law Astrid, her children Johanna, Kristina and Elisabeth and her five grand-children. She is the foremother of the Ando-Vasa -branch of the family tree.

I did a quick check at the different households in my game! After this, since I play with MC Command Centre, the families and households pretty much exploded so I can't keep track of everyone anymore.

On the top left corner we have the family left in Mt Komorebi where Kristina grew up. Her mother and father and baby sister Elisabeth lives there still, together with auntie Astrid (not long after these screencaps we learn that Astrid has married a man named Stefan Ghandi). Astrid's son Johan lives with his half-brother Håkan in San Myshuno (Englund family). Her daughter Cecilia is in the lower left, the Vasas in Brindleton Bay. She lives with her husband Bo, and his daughter.

The top right is called Johansson and is Kristina's sister Johanna and her husband, and his daughter.

Middle left is Nishidake-Vasa who is in a sense of the other side of the family tree. See, the founder had two sons, one of which is Gustav (Kristina's great-grandfather) and the other was Karl. Karl's son Fredrik married very late in life and what we see here is his two daughters (Maria and Therese), their children and Maria's husband Robert.

Next to them is the Okada's, which is actually the Okada-Vasa's. Here's Katarina (Kristina's paternal grandmother) her uncle Stefan (hidden behind his wife and their child) and Stefan's step-son. Next to them is Kristina and her family.

Astrid ages to elder! I love that Maki took time to celebrate her dear sister-in-law and that Astrid then goes to put Elisabeth to bed (before Father Christmas arrives, as this is during Winterfest). I adore that Astrid - who has always been a very independent person - is so loved by her family and friends.

Winterfest!

Anna Okamoto tells Kristina that she's pregnant. She doesn't want to be with the baby's father and wonders if Kristina is still interested in dating her?
