Repost of Ivy and Billie Byrd’s ref sheet(cuz I kinda fixed her hand, it was bugging me) + them as little trollings and old trolls for fun :] theyd be about the same age as King Peppy, maybe a little closer to their 70s tho. When they disappeared, they were in their 50s. When they met, they were younger than 10, about a year or two apart. The leaf vest is basically a family heirloom to the boys, when really Grandma Rosiepuff was just too tired to make new clothes; most of the boys’ clothes before Brozone gained popularity was all hand-me-downs from their dad.
I think living with the pop trolls really influenced Billie Byrd more than she thinks. Shes more vulnerable with her feelings and more open to smiling— still not big on hugging though. Like any hard rock troll, she takes chances, she doesn’t think too much before she jumps. She’s adventurous. Shes the one who suggested the boy band idea to the boys.
Ivy was fairly care free growing up, the looming danger of the Bergens just being another Tuesday for him, but once John Dory came along his attitude changed. He began acting overprotective. By time Bruce came, however, his overprotective nature calmed down a bit. When it came to Brozone, he was on board as long as he got to be the boys’ manager, the guy having an odd talent for organization and time management. He took his role as manager seriously, even going as far as to dress like one. At least the matching earrings he got with Billie Byrd didn’t stick out so much anymore.
A reunion between the boys and their parents probably wouldn’t go as planned…
