[Games] Re: Years of Your Life dice game, Part 1/5 (first 13 years)
Love the diversity in this Year Game!Year ZeroBo and Ottilie Ophelia Guan (nee Johnson) have given birth to their first baby, a girl named Avery Xue Guan. She has straight black hair like her Chinese father, is darker-skinned like her Black mother, and shares both of their brown eyes. Ottilie joins a mummy-and-me painting class where the mothers paint while their children finger paint. Avery gets along great with most of the babies, especially Winter, the daughter of Ottilie's best friend.Bo [21] and Ottilie [21] with Avery [nb]Year OneAvery loses her Dad's grandpa, Yéyé. She didn't know him, and she's not old enough to understand, anyway, but it takes a toll on her dad.Bo [22] and Ottilie [22] with Avery [1]Year TwoAvery is diagnosed as Deaf. Her Auntie Edith was also born Deaf, and because of this her mother knows sign language. She begins to teach BASL to Avery and her husband as well.Bo [23] and Ottilie [23] with Avery [2]Year ThreeAfter three years of marriage, Bo and Ottilie separate, then divorce later in the year. Avery hates the separation and doesn't understand it, but by the time the divorce rolls around she's become much more accustomed to splitting her time.Bo [24] and Ottilie [24] with Avery [3]Year FourWhile at their painting class, Ottilie realizes that Avery is incredibly adept at art for her age. Excited, she enrolls her in lessons with the local art assocation that provides the Mummy and Me classes.Bo [25] and Ottilie [25] with Avery [4]Year FiveBo and his new girlfriend, Riley Leah Lewis, welcome a baby girl named Harper Zhihao Guan. Harper has straight hair, like both her parents. It's blonde, like her mom's, and she has her dad's brown eyes. Her skintone is closer to that of her white mother than Bo. Avery's not the biggest fan of Harper at first, by no fault of her own - she doesn't like Riley that much, either.Bo [26] and Ottilie [26] with Avery [5]
