Family Headcanons/History

Wes is named after Westley from The Princess Bride, a favorite movie of both of his parents. He hates his full name though, and would much rather you called him Wes. 

Ty is the son of an on-and-off again boyfriend of Claudia’s, Kyle. It took a long time for both Katy and Wes to warm up to him, but then they did. They’re currently ‘off’ though, and Ty doesn’t get to see a lot of his dad since he lives in Tacoma.

Claudia and Steve met in college and were together ever since. She became pregnant with Wes while still in college, and despite all her friends’ advice, decided to keep him. A 3 month old Wes can be seen in her college graduation photos.

Steve was attacked one night while coming home from work and killed by a blood cult vampire. It rattled the entire family, leading Claudia to alcoholism and Katy and Wes to becoming emotionally numb.

Claudia put both of her kids in therapy but Wes was particularly unresponsive to it. She took him to a shooting range though and he greatly enjoyed that, and learning to shoot became his therapy. 

Unbeknownst to Claudia Wes was also learning independently all the manner of ways to kill and dispatch vampires. He swore to make sure not to let what happened to his Dad happen to anyone in his family, or anyone around him, again. 

They moved to Barton Hollow because Wes thought it would be safer a place to live in away from vampires and other creatures, than Tacoma. So far it’s proven to be the case, but he isn’t naive and knows danger could lurk at every turn.
