Age: 25
Career: Musician.
Brief bio: Jock is a Scotishman who has lived on the Skye isle since birth. Music is the second love of his life. The first is his young wife. Jock loves all kinds of music, except for techno, but his main interest is in folk music of his native country. He is a guitarist in a band, he also likes to sing and can play a bit fiddle. He is tall, looks a bit older than he really is, is medium-weight, has short, but very thick, blonde hair and blue eyes, he has a beard and sharp features, he may seem a little stand-offish at times, but there's nothing more wrong! You'll know it when you'll see his smile and know him a little beter. He is rather an introvert, but not shy. He's very communicative, optimistic, creative, has a little sarcastic sense of humour, is highly sensitive and very expressive. He gets on well with everyone and is very spontaneous. Jock holds a degree in archaeology as well as in Celtic & Anglo-Saxon studies, but he doesn't work in any of these fields. He's sporty, loves hiking, swimming and football. He had an abusive father and was through a lot in his childhood, but his relationship with his mum strengthened in his adulthood. He's very caring and empathetic for his wife. Recently he has thought a lot about being a father. He would really love that. always thought that he would be good at it, could be a friend, but also an authority for his kids. He gets on with his sisters' kids and genrally is a big kid at heart himself, in the meaning that he has a child-like, wild imagination, creativity and ability to laugh, despite all that he has come through. Jock's family lives all around the UK and he is able to speak a little in all the Gaelic languages, he speaks Scottish fluently.
Three hobbies: performing/listening to music, reading, being out in nature.
Three character traits: creative, lively, caring.
Parent 2: Wiktoria Helena [Roicka] MCInnes
Age: 21
Career: student (psychology), translator, freelance writer.
Brief bio: Wiktoria is Polish. She struggles with sclerosis multiplex for a year and a half, which limits her independence a lot. Luckily, at the moment it seems to not progress very quickly. She is able to walk around the house with the help of someone or a walker, as her legs seem to be the most affected by the disease. It causes her a lot of frustration, but she tries to not drown in the grief. She generally is pesimistic, but not like always complaining, just a sort of melancholic that never believes that something can go well and is quite wary and caucious. Wiktoria is medium-high, thin, has light brown, long hair, green eyes, is pale. She's very girly. Her passion are Scandinavian countries. As a teen, she engulfed nordic books. And no, not only crime novels. She decided to learn Swedish when she was in high school. Then she became addicted to learning languages and absorbed Faroese, then Finnish and even Saami. She's able to somehow understand also other Scandinavian and Germanic languages. Now she is studying psychology online. Her another passion is to help others and favourite topic related to psych stuff is trauma and dissociation. She met Jock thanks to his traumatic experiences with his dad, when he was looking for some help on online forum and then they started to exchange emails. after a half year Jock visited her and soon they wed and she emigrated to Scotland. He says that she attracted him with her intellect and enormous empathy. She loves him deeply. Wiktoria would like to be a therapist and help people with traumatic experiences and maybe with dissociation. She loves Jock deeply. Another cause of WIktoria's frustration is that she can't have children of her own. Jock would love to have at least one, she knows it and she would be so happy if she could give them to him. But doctors say she's infertile. Jock said there's always a posibility to adopt a child, but she had a lot of doubts for a long time. She wasn't sure if she would be a good mother, but Jock thinks so. They have a home help named Francine, who is also Wiktoria's assistant and cares for her when Jock is in tour. Francine promised that she will also help her willingly with her children, as she've already brought up her own.
Three hobbies: reading, writing, listening to Jock's music, and to music in general.
Three character traits: shy, nerdy, dreamy.
Parent's help: Francine [Ross] Fisher
age: 49
Career: home help, working also as Wiktoria's assistant and carer when needed.
Brief bio: Jock engaged Francine when he marriedd Wiktoria to make sure that she'll be well cared of when he'll be in tour. She helps Wiktoria with cleaning and stuff as well. Plus neither of them both is a good cook, so they wanted to have someone to make them warm, homemade dinners. Francine lives nearby them, so can come whenever is needed, but oficially she works from Monday To friday from 9 to 15 and on Saturday from 9 to 12. She had five children of her own, two sons are in their late teens and still live with her and her hubby. She doesn't talk a lot and may appear a little tough, but has a heart of gold. She is flegmatic, but once she's angry, she's REALLY angry. She likes children and is willing to help Wiktoria and Jock with theirs.
