Tash is a twin, born when his mother was only thirteen and his father fifteen. Because of the young age, her paternal grandparents have wanted nothing to do with the family since then, even upping and moving to another state to abandon their son. They grew up primarily under the care of their maternal grandparents, until their own parents finished school. With an uncle who's actually eighteen months younger than them, the three of them became the best of friends. When they were seven, the four of them (mother, father and children) moved into a home of their own. Two years later, just as Trish was starting her new job, Edmund died in a terrorist attack, an event that changed their life forever!
Like typical twins, Tom and Tash share everything together. Despite now being fourteen, they don't see the need to hide their bodies from each other either. Their mother's relaxed attitude towards sex and the body has passed off onto them, although they are yet to experiment with anything more than 'playing doctor'. Their lack of aversion to this, however, may play a big part on their actions should they get their hands on the ring!
Family
- Trisha Elizabeth Morse Mother: Tash is close to her mother. She is occasionally 'girly' around her, whereas most of the time she comes off as a tomboy. She likes having someone she can share the occasional secret with (other than Tom of course).
- Thomas Edmund Morse Brother: Tash and Tom are inseparable. They've always done everything together, and she would share anything with him. After they had separate rooms, they would often stay up late into the night until they fell asleep in just one bed anyway. They've seen each other naked many times, even recently, and they still occasionally play games with that result as the intent.
- Edmond Harold Morse Father: "Deceased" Edmond died five years ago in a terrorist attack. Even though Tash was still only nine, it didn't hit her quite as bad as it hit Tom. She felt like she had to be the cushion for Tom to cry on, the comfort blanket for him to cuddle into. There is nothing she wouldn't do to make him feel better.
- James Nigel Fisher Uncle: Uncle James, as the twins call him, is actually eighteen months younger than them. They grew up together until the Morse family moved out. Although this was only five years, James was just as inseparable from the twins as they were from each other; since then they have still spent a lot of time together. James lives about fifteen minutes from the Morse's, goes to school with them and stays with them, in one house or the other, most weekends. He is often included in their special games as the "honorary twin".
- Nigel Roderick Fisher Grandfather: The only other relative the twins still have contact with although, having being diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer, he only has a couple of weeks left by the start of the story!
Friends, Enemies, and Acquaintances
- Mariel Garcia Best Friend: Nora is only twelve, but has known Tash longer than anyone else. She would never take Tom's place as the most important person in Tash's life, but she would certainly come a close second. They met online, and text each other pretty much every evening, but they haven't actually yet met in person.
- Marcel Pereira Best friend: Marcel is an unusual friend. Tash has always felt like he's keeping something hidden, even from himself. He doesn't talk about himself much, and she wouldn't remember having ever seen him express feelings or emotions. She actually finds that slightly endearing, and him fairly attractive.
- Craig Roberts "Evil Twinievel" Rival/Enemy: Craig hates Tom and Tash - at least, he does an amazing job at looking like he hates them - and for seemingly little reason other than the fact they are twins, and that's 'apparently' not normal! He will constantly find an excuse to tease or even bully them and, if he ever thought he could get the upper hand on two of them, he wouldn't hesitate to make that bullying physical!
(Classes) & Teachers
The twins, along with James and all listed 'Acquaintances' go to Northwood Secondary School, a school that covers ages 10 to 16. It is not large, with only a hundred students in each of the five years. Although students are split appropriately for classes, there are School Houses that encourage interaction across the ages.
There are five houses in total. They are:
-The Griffins -The Dragons -The Minotaurs
-The Centaurs -The Hydras
The twins and acquaintances are all in the House of The Hydras. Each house has it's own weekly schedule, that all years within the house will use. Where a student may not be taking a subject, they are expected to attend a Study Period instead. The Hydras' is as follows:
As well as the normal weekly schedule, students are expected to attend one Personal Development session a week, in same-sex pairs, to discuss personal views and approaches to Sex and Sexuality, Drugs and Alcohol, and Family Planning. Most students either resent this session, or make constant jokes out of it.
