Shane
The Oldest · The Leader

Thinks he's too cool for hugs. Has strong opinions about everything and isn't afraid to share them loudly. Basically runs the place (in his own mind).

Anthony
The Middle Kid · The Joker

Always ready with a thumbs up but not for hugging his siblings. He'd rather crack a joke than make peace. The class clown of the family.
