#Susanna Ashtor

[sweet-vanilla-sims]

Year 1600 Part 1:

The Century began with Matilda and Cuthbert becoming teenagers. Both of whom were deeply cared for by the ones close to them. Susanna became an adult though she wanted more time to think on getting married. 

Rachel learned she was pregnant after she and Rodrigo finally decided to begin trying for a baby. Of course, her jealousy began to run rampant much to Susanna and Rodrigo’s disappointment as she was constantly watching over them despite them not doing anything improper. 

Far away, Henry Akiyama married Benedict’s cousin, Mikaela, though no one in the family was present, he did send a letter to Henford to let his siblings know that he was still alive and was willing to consider reestablishing contact. 

With the good news of Henry potentially returning, the Carlisle home in Tartosa was still full of grief as they continued to mourn Thomasin’s loss. That said, Thomasin did visit though no one was awake to see her, she was happy to see her children beginning to grow up well. 

The Jaleel family and the Laurent family had always been close ever since Wilmot was the nanny for the previous family head so it was no surprise that their children would also get to know each other. Still it was a shock when John III proposed to Clemence  and the two announced they had left town for a week and eloped shortly before Clemence’s eighteenth birthday.

Year 1588 Part 1:

Adrian and Barnaby celebrated their thirteenth birthday with their mother, Grandfather, Aunt, Uncle, and cousins. It was a joyous event and Wilmot was happy to see her late husband in her boys as they grew now that it had been a year since his passing. 

Matilda turned one to the joy of her mother and luckily the dogs Cecily kept got on well with the toddler. 

Susanna celebrated her sixth birthday with her family present though Adrian and John couldn’t help but think about how Elizabeth would have loved to see her grow. 

Cuthbert also turned one though it seemed he took a lot after his father as opposed to his mother. 

It wasn’t made into a big festivity but Julian and Josian Carlisle also celebrated their eighteenth birthday. 

Philippa was terrified when she went into labor again with her sons but was delighted to welcome Osbert and Terric Suzuki into the world with the name of the person she knew to be responsible for them.

Year 1604 Part 4:

Thomasin tried to visit regularly but she would often read Talia’s tome when she was there and was upset to find quite the fates of her family members. She was happy to see her children, husband, and father doing well but she started to wonder if she should just pass on and let go of her earthly attachments since it seemed there was bad news every time she visited but she didn’t want to miss seeing her kids grow up more than she already did. 

Rachel and Rodrigo’s twins became toddlers to the delight of the family. 

The year came to a close as Aniyah learned she was expecting once again.

Year 1603 Part 3:

Rachel’s second pregnancy was going better than her first in that she wasn’t accusing her sister and her husband of any infidelity which was comforting to them. That said, with the hunters about Rodrigo and Susanna were hesitant about staying in Tartosa but Rachel didn’t want to leave her home, she wanted to have her family grow up where she did rather than go to some strange land when she could simply stay inside. The other two members of the family wondered if that would truly be enough but decided not to argue with the pregnant woman because either way they couldn’t exactly travel while she was in that state anyways.

On October seventh, Rachel gave birth to her twin daughters, Liona and Lauretta both of whom were remarkably healthy little girls to the family’s relief. 

Brooklyn was once again expecting and while Barnaby was hoping for another son, she wanted a little girl though she would content herself with Faustina if that didn’t come to pass. 

Despite Adrian’s efforts to discover immortality before his time ran out, he knew that if he failed he wanted his family to keep up with their education so he taught Frideswide all he knew even if she didn’t want to study so much.

Year 1600 Part 3:

TW/CW: Infant Death, Death Mention

Having toddlers was it’s own adjustment as they all had different personalities and even though they hadn’t known their mother long, they felt the lack of her presence dearly. Thankfully though they weren’t exactly fussy children and once Agustin and Adrian had gotten themselves a full nights sleep it was clear they had just been overwhelmed by numbers. Francisco was a rather charming child, Ramon was fiercely independent which spelled trouble since he was barely a year old, and Vincente was a happy, silly child. 

Susanna and Cecily started to grow close before Rachel gave birth to her son, Alexander in late October. Unfortunately, Alexander only lived five days and passed before the end of the month, the loss was getting to Susanna. She figured that maybe it was because she had to share a room with him while she was alive or maybe, but she would never say this aloud, she could have seen the hit to her relationship with her sister as worth it if the child that had exacerbated her jealously from carrying him had actually lived. 

The bad news continued as in December, Philippa shared the news that her husband, Yoshio, had died.

1500-1599 Recap Part 75:

Benedict Soto became a child sadly his twin did not make it to his child stage thanks to his toddler roll but I blamed it on the famine. 

Agnes Voss, Adrian Jaleel and Barnaby Jaleel all became teenagers. 

Susanna became a child followed by Cuthbert and Matilda becoming toddlers. 

Rachel soon became a teenager as well. I think she ended up as a good blend of features from her parents. 

Philippa then had her second set of twins Osbert and Terric.

1500-1599 Recap Part 71:

Thomasin’s daughter Christina died as a toddler.

Florence became a child and Wilmot had twins Clemence and Catherine. Catherine died at half a year old. 

Marielle became a teenager and Susanna became a toddler. 

Then Elizabeth died which had nothing to do with me. I leave accidents on once a household has a surviving child (meaning one who will survive all their death rolls until their teen years). I was a bit shocked when I got the notification but I was fine with it though it did suck knowing she passed so young. 

Then Gilbert and Seema’s children became teenagers.

Year 1583 Part 1:

Elizabeth’s youngest celebrated her first birthday looking quite a bit like her father to his displeasure. Not long after Susanna’s birthday, Clemence turned one as well inheriting her mother’s magic just like her eldest brother. 

Cecily also revealed that she was with child with much excitement as she attended her nieces birthdays. 

Back in Henford, Gilbert’s twins turned thirteen while Rebecca’s surviving son turned eighteen.

Year 1606 Part 4:

Grace became a teenager and looked remarkably like her grandmother, Samara. 

Susanna got married to a traveler named Takuya from Mt. Komorebi on December 18th. 

While Janet and Alton who were both widowed with a child of their own decided to marry on the last day of the year with their vows witnesses by their young children. 

[sweet-vanilla-sims]

Year 1605 Part 1:

The house grew more lively in anticipation of the triplet’s birthday. 

Susanna got scared of the wolf hunts even though she wasn’t one she couldn’t help but fear that her alien features would put her in the spotlight in some way eventually and so she chose to leave town for a while. She also thought it was about time she actually consider getting married and starting her own family.

Rachel gave birth to her fourth child, Olivia, on May 19th after George and Marieta had their first birthdays. 

Just a few weeks later, Parnell delivered her son Daichi on July 6th.

Surviving Family:

Talia’s eldest child, Thomas Carlisle married Isabel Goth and the couple had six children before Isabel’s death. Anthony, Andrew, Agnes, Adam, Allen, and Arthur. Unfortunately both Adam and Allen passed away as children. After Isabel’s death, Thomas remarried Margery Thorne and the couple had two sons, Adrian and Ambrose. 

Adrian was the affair partner of a married woman, Rachel Ernest, and they had their daughter Elizabeth Ernest. Elizabeth married John Ashtor and they had four children together before her passing. There oldest son John died in infancy and their second son, Bartholomew died as a teenager in the Plague with his father long after Elizabeth had died. 

Elizabeth and John’s eldest daughter, Rachel married Rodrigo Maeda (Cecily’s nephew) and they are both pictured above Rachel’s sister, Susanna.

Year 1582 Part 1:

Elizabeth hadn’t been able to join in very many festivities since she was having trouble moving around due to her pregnancy. Though luckily the beginning of they year brought with it labor and a new daughter named Susanna. 

In Henford, Rebecca’s daughter, Eden, turned thirteen and grew into looking quite a bit like her mother. 

Margaret breathed a sigh of relief that her twins had celebrated their sixth birthday. As she looked at how different her children looked, she could only wonder what John may have looked like if he had lived or what Samara would have if she survived her infancy.
