Parents: Ranveig Motorsen, Fredrik Holmesen-Fredriksen Siblings: Robert Bråge Motorsen, Margrethe Holmesen-Fredriksen Grandparents: Eirin Motorsen, Ingmar Motorsen Girlfriend: Inge Reppe
The result of a failed relationship between Ranveig and the local Prison
Warden Fredrik Fredriksen*, he was raised alone by his mother, a
journalist and chess player, living in Mosquito Cove. Later when he was
still in high school his aunt Monica got him a summer job as an
assistant at the Landgraab Research facility, and this greatly sparked
his interest in science, which later lead him to go to university. This
was also around the time he started dating Inge after she had finally
picked up the courage to leave him a paper note on his desk...
She had been eyeing him for a long time when riding the school bus, but
as she had always been told by her peers that she was a loser, she
didn't have much confidence in her to take any kind of initiative.. but
I'm sure now she's happy she did.
* before he married the local Psychiatrist Pia Holmesen and changed his last name to Holmesen-Fredriksen.

a teenager). Morten is a pupil at the Sunset Valley School for gifted children. An
active member of the local boy scouts and an overall good boy that helps
his parents out with cleaning and chores in the house. Not very likely
be one of the rebellious teenagers or one to cause drama, atleast that's
what it looks like for now.

One day when she gets old enough to live on her own, she dreams of
living in a house full of animals... but for now, she has to live by mom
and dads rules. So far the most sneaky and rebellious of all the
teenagers, perhaps only rivaled there by her cousin Kleopatra.
Kristina is a very sweet and family oriented girl. Already at her young age
she really enjoys to care for toddlers and children, especially her
younger sister Emmy, and one day she dreams of starting a family and
watching her own kids grow up... She respects her mom and dad, and very
much looks up to her older sister Inge, who is at university studying
art with her boyfriend.

Ranveig Motorsen is the firstborn child of chess prodigy and world renowned surgeon Ingmar Motorsen, and dynamic DNA profiler Eirin Motorsen. When she was a child she, and eventually her younger sister Monica, was often left under the care of a continuous flux of babysitters while her parents where busy focusing on their careers and participating in chess tournaments.
As she got a little older, she caught an interest in chess from witnessing her father competing in ranked games of chess in their home, and an interest in investigating (which later turned into an interest in journalism) from her moms career in the police force.
The school years weren't easy for Ranveig, as she often got bullied for 'being different' and showing up to school in her swimwear even if no swimming classes were scheduled. She never understood why she, and also her sister, were so different from everyone else. Before she started school, she had never thought that mom having conversations with herself in the bathroom every morning was anything unusal, because that's just how it was.. but she quickly learnt this was not normal, and something one shouldn't do in public.. but sometimes the vocies just got to intense to resist the urge to talk back..
In her teenage years she became an older sister again as her mom, unplanned, gave birth to a pair of twins, Eivind and Knut. These were particularly stressful years for Ranveig, dealing with her mental condition that kept getting worse, being a teenager and keeping up a facade, babysitting her three younger siblings and handling the bullies at school all the while trying to get a good grade, as well as several instances of unrecruited love..
Finally as a young adult she was able to move out on her own, but didn't have much money, so she bought the cheapest house on sale - the old rundown Mosquite Cove - but atleast now she had a place of her own, and she felt a glimpse of happiness the day she got a job at the local newspaper - The Sunset Valley Gazette.
Now, following in the footsteps of her father she spent several years practicing chess and participating in tournaments to become a Chess Legend, as well as slowly climbing the ranks of her journalism career. She felt like she had everything in place - except for one thing, one thing that she had always wanted, well, atleast since she started high school. To one day get married and raise her own family.
She thought she had found 'the one', when she one day was sent out to interview the promising mayoral canditate Fredrik Fredriksen. He was such a sweet talking, handsome man, and she felt like walking on sunshine when they became a couple and she found out that she was pregnant.. but unluckily the relationship was short lived and ended before she gave birth to her firstborn son, Oliver Freddy Motorsen, and the years became hard again..
Now she was a single mother, still struggling to advance in her career and as a chess player... and Fredrik soon enough got elected as the towns mayor and began distancing himself from her, as it wouldn't look good for his public image if it were to come out that he was having an affair with a mentally unstable woman from the poorer part of town...
After that experience Ranveig gave up on finding love in the real world, and turned to fiction by devouring an almost unhealthy amount of romance novels and watching every episode of every show on the romance channel, before starting all over again to watch them on repeat...
Until one day she met the travelling bum and extreme sports junkie Gaute Bråheim - again for an interview for the Sunset Valley Gazette - about the increasing amount of tourists finally finding their way to this small dozy town..
He was the radical opposite of the ambitious and orderly mayoral candidate, and as he appeared to be interested in more than just an interview (or maybe he was just looking for another adventure), she decided to give it a go.. this 'relationship' lasted even shorter than the previous one, and by the time she found herself pregnant again, he was long gone...
Now after giving birth to another boy, Robert Bråge, she had become a parent for the second time, still single, still working on her career and trying to become a Chess Legend, as well as struggling with her mental condition and her moms words ringing in her head "to keep it within the walls of the house and not let the secret come out...", as if it wasn't apparent when she needed her toilet breaks at work because the voices became to much to handle..
It wasn't until she witnessed her sister Monicas oldest child, Lise Veronica, struggling with the same voices and putting on a swimsuit for her 13th birthday that she thought enough was enough and decided that enough was enough and had a serious talk with her sister and set up an appointment for the three of them to go to a doctor and finally get a diagnosis and treatment for their condition..
Her oldest son, Oliver Freddy, who also suffered the same, was away at university at this time, otherwise she would have taken him along too. She could only for the time being encourage him to seek help on his own, and hope that he would take the responsibility to do so.. He was out there living his life on his own terms now, and she couldn't force him...

Profile:
Trigger warning: Mentions suicide.
Lucie Lehtoranta was born in 1955 at
the Pamtere Hospital to parents Tahvo Lehtoranta (11.12.1920 -
5.6.2000) and Kerttu Lehtoranta (2.3.1925 – 10.1.2009). Tahvo and
Kerttu were both working as surgeons at the Pamtere Hospital. They
were strict parents and demanded that Lucie and her older brother
Jaska (3.10.1950 – 8.7.1965) always got the best grades in school.
They had already decided that their children should also reach the
top of the medical career.
As Jaska got into his teens, he would
no longer listen to his parents. He often ran away from home and
could be away for days and weeks sometimes. This was a great distress
for the parents, and it got even worse when his body was found at the
bottom of a lake one morning in 1965. After this the parents divorced
and Kerttu moved with Lucie to the smaller town of Tavastehus where
Lucie finished school. The years were hard for 10 year old Lucie now.
She had within a year lost both her
brother and her father and had just moved to a new town. On top of
that, her mother was as strict as ever. She eventually softened up
though, and in spite of all this, Lucie still grew up wanting to
excel in the medical career. After she finished high school, she got
a job at the Tavastehus Hospital and began to climb the ranks. She
eventually fell in love with an aspiring writer and painter that also
worked part time at the hospital, Asgeir Karlsen. The couple married
and she took his last name. In 1977 they moved to Sunset Valley.
After moving to Sunset Valley she continued her medical career working at the Sacred Spleen Hospital until she retired after having fulfilled her dream of becoming a World Renowned Surgeon. Things went well for a while as she managed to advance in her career and raise her firstborn child Jonathan together with her husband Asgeir. In 1984 she gave birth to their second child, a cute little girl they called Sofie. By then the couple had also gotten quite wealthy from their careers, something that caught the attention of one of the male nurses working at the hospital... This nurse was Beau Andrews, a sweet talking, less than hard working slob.. somehow he had managed to charm her into entering a secret relationship with him. Being who he was, he didn't really care aboutt he romance aspect of it - he was only in it for the money, and hoped that one day they could marry.. and share her fortune...
It was inevitable that word would get out and rumours would spread, and soon most of the town knew about the affair going on - except her husband Asgeir, who was still living in the illusion that they would be married until death did them part..
After the news was delivered to Asgeir by his neighbour and trusted friend Egil, the relationship between Asgeir and Lucie quickly started to go downhill. It started with arguments, which escalated into shouting - often in front of the kids, until finally it culminated in physical violence.
It was after such an instance the cup had run over for Asgeir and he divorced Lucie immediately after she came home from work one day, and only gave her 10 minutes to pack her most important belongings and get out...
She lived alone for several years in a small house on the hill above the Chess club. Eventually as their kids got children of their own and they became grandparents, Asgeir reached out to her and offered her to live under the same roof again - but under one condition for the first few years, that his living space would be off limits to her, and vice versa. They were still not friends at this point, but eventually managed to reconcile their relationship - if not for themselves, but for the sake of their kids and grandchildren...
