The Barnes Legacy

Created by FearlessBiped

In 2022, FearlessBiped completed the 100 Baby Challenge with one single matriarch, Marina Knowles. After finishing the challenge, everyone had grown quite attached to Marina.

We decided to help her find true love on the dating show, Beauty & The Beasts Bachelorette! The series consisted of seven men disguised in costumes competing for her love. A bachelor in a yeti costume, Adam Barnes, caught her attention and won her heart.

Now, Marina and Adam are getting their own legacy, and their own story to tell!

  Adam Barnes

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: he/him

  Biography: Adam Barnes was a doctor originally from Willow Creek. He was born into wealth, due to his family owning the only hospital in town. When not focusing on his family, Adam volunteered his time building houses in Newcrest, especially during the summer.
  
  He was very close with his parents, Glenn & Evelyn. Adam gained a large inheritance in his adolescence from his late grandmother, Margaret. She had a great love of literature, and he dreamt of using the money to one day open a library in her name.
  
  He longed for a partner and a family, so he took a chance on a dating show. It was a perfect fit for him. With his identity disguised, he knew if a relationship formed, it would be based on the size of his heart, not his wallet. Adam did indeed find love with Marina.
  
  After the birth of their third child (and an early mid-life crisis), Adam decided to leave the medical field to spend more time with his growing kids, and to focus on his love of art. Adam passed away of old age after completing one last painting in his backyard.

  Aurora Barnes

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: she/her

  Biography: [5TH GEN HEIR]
  
  Aurora, aka Rory, was a very spoiled child. Unlike her sister, who grew up not really knowing her father, Rory was given an abundance of attention from her dad, who did everything he could to make his little girl happy. Though she was spoiled, Rory still enjoyed a sense of independence.
  
  As her name would suggest, Aurora was very princess-coded. She loved pink and all things girly. In that sense, she was very different from her big sister!
  
  As a teen, Rory became very high-maintenance, due to being spoiled as child. She loved being the center of attention. She quickly made friends in high school, and loved throwing parties and starting gatherings for everyone to meet up and hang out. Rory fell head over heels for the new girl in town, named Skye Silva. Rory was instantly attracted to her cute smile and colorful style. The two began hanging out and soon began a relationship together.
  
  Despite her father's worries that she was moving too fast, Rory proposed to Skye in the same place where they shared their first kiss.
  
  The two got married at a beautiful venue among ancient ruins, very reminiscent of the spot from their teen years. When Rory's parents passed away, she decided that she and Skye would move to Del Sol Valley so that Rory could dive head first into her acting career.
  
  Rory thrived in her acting career, gaining fame and even winning an award at the Starlight Accolades! As they got a bit older and more established, Rory and Skye started to think about growing their family.
  
  Using IVF, Skye got pregnant! Upon the surprise of finding out it was TWINS, Rory felt panicked. She was looking forward to being a mom, but two babies?! She was not ready for this. Despite her fears, Rory saw how happy Skye was at the news, so Rory offered nothing but support and joy for her wife.
  
  After the babies were born, Rory was terrified and overwhelmed, but her love for her family topped all other emotions that she was feeling. As a mom, she was definitely more of a provider than a nurturer.
  
  In her career, Aurora thrived! Getting bigger and better gigs, walking red carpets, and winning awards, she had become a proper celebrity! Skye supported Rory through it all, telling her that one day, Aurora's name would be on the Walk of Fame.
  
  Little did she know at the time, but getting her Celebrity Tile became a reality for Aurora when she was an adult!
  
  After reaching the peak of fame, Aurora decided to leave the film industry and move into a different phase of her life. She entered politics! However, soon after the beginning of her new career path, her children moved out, and it was even more of an adjustment.
  
  Rory debated moving out of Del Sol Valley after the passing of Skye, but didn't have the heart to leave the home they built together.
  
  Aurora, the superstar, the icon, died in dramatic fashion, of course. She passed away on Winterfest as an elder.

  Azalea and Beau got married on their family ranch. She also said goodbye to the pink in her hair!

  Beatriz Barnes

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: she/her

  Biography: Maybe due to the fact that her older siblings were already fully grown when she arrived, but Beatriz was a very calm baby! This was a blessing for Dory, who knew that her husband was getting older, and was having a harder time keeping up.
  
  Beatriz spent lots of time at home as a kid, wanting to be around her mom and dad as much as possible. She also loved hanging with Stella, who Beatriz thought was the coolest! The two bonded easily.
  
  Bea's father passed away very early in her life, so she never really got a chance to know him. Her mother, Dorothy, also passed away when Bea was still just a child. It was heartbreaking and traumatic to lose both parents so early in her life, especially because she had a near-infant sibling to take care of. However, Bea used this as motivation to do right by her parents, and be a kind and good person.
  
  She worried what would happen to her and her little sister Carmen after Dory passed. To her surprise and joy, her cousins Rebecca and Joey took them under their wing, moving both of the girls to Copperdale to live in the house where their mother was raised.
  
  Unlike her cousins, Beartiz did not want to simply live off the Barnes family wealth. Instead, she took a job in manual labor to help pay the bills.
  
  After Beatriz became a mom, she realized she couldn't afford to live on her own, so she moved to Chestnut Ridge with Rebecca and her family, and two families became one big, blended household.
  
  Beatriz passed away of old age.

  Beau Barnes

  Status: alive

  Pronouns: he/him

  Biography: [6TH GEN HEIR]
  
  When Beau was born alongside his twin sister, Reign, there were some complications. After battling his way through the ICU, Beau started to grow up into an incredibly sweet boy.
  
  Beau had vitiligo like his mom, Skye. He wasn't shy about it because he saw how confident his mom was, and she always told him that his differences made him beautiful.
  
  He was an easy baby and an easy toddler. As he grew into his childhood, he loved looking after his twin sister, Reign, even though she didn't really need it! Beau was an active kid who loved going to the playground across the street from his house. His sister had an easier time making friends, but Beau just loved climbing the monkey bars, playing Space Ranger, and hanging off and piece of playground equipment he could find!
  
  As a teen, Beau started to feel like living in Del Sol Valley wasn't for him. After a field trip to Chestnut Ridge, Beau found himself in love with the landscape, the aesthetic, and especially the animals! He nervously told his sister that he wanted to move there as soon as he could to get away from his mom Aurora, who had become slightly insufferable due to her insane celebrity status. Reign wasn't just supportive of her brother...she wanted to join him on his adventure!
  
  The siblings reached out to some extended Barnes family who already lived in Chestnut Ridge to make a friendly connection ahead of their move there, and Beau even got to ride their horse!
  
  Beau had started acquiring weed from his classmates at school, but wasn't the best at hiding his red eyes from Rory. After being caught a second time, Rory threatened Beau with rehab, as her shift into politics required a quiet home life without any scandal. After this, Beau told Rory that he planned to move out. Rory was devastated that her kids wanted to leave home, but definitely understood it was necessary.
  
  Shortly after his Aunt Luna passed away, he found out that she put him and his sister in her will, and with that, the twins purchased a beautiful ranch right outside of town in Chestnut Ridge.
  
  Beau was quick to hone in on his horse riding skills. He trained hard with his first horse, Sunburst. They began entering competitions and even won a few! Beau had big dreams though, and wanted to win bigger prizes, so the training continued.
  
  With no gym in town, Beau went into the city to work out, and there he met a cute girl who invited him back to her place. To his delight and surprise, the apartment was full of single women! One in particular caught his eye, a young woman named Azalea Blossom.
  
  Beau and Azalea began a relationship, and after a near-death experience, Beau realized he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He proposed to Zaley at a scenic spot in Chestnut Ridge, a rainbow shining down on them.
  
  Before they could get married, Zaley became pregnant and gave birth to their daughter, Paisley. When Paisley aged up into a toddler, her birthday present was the family’s second horse, Lightning Bug! Though Beau briefly entered the culinary career, he decided that being a stay-at-home dad was what he really wanted. Plus, he could occasionally bring home some money from horse competitions.
  
  They got married right on the ranch, with only Reign and Rory as witnesses.
  
  Life seemed full and perfect for awhile. The home was always bustling and busy, and Beau felt fulfilled. However, after Rory died, Beau thought about how she wasn’t around much when he and his sister were growing up. He didn’t want to be an absent father to his own kids, and he felt like taking care of the horses and running the ranch was too much on top of also raising his kids. He wanted to slow down; the ranch was supposed to be a simpler life, but it was a lot of work. Zaley agreed, stating it was hard to get her law work done at home. They had lived in the city and out in the western plains. Now it was time for a bit of suburban life, so they moved to Willow Creek.

  Benjamin Barnes

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: he/him/they/them

  Biography: Baby Benjamin was born with an eye condition which required him to wear sunglasses. Doctors said it would clear up by childhood, which it did!
  
  Benny was a very happy toddler! He thrived on the attention of his parents, and was less than thrilled to share the spotlight when his younger sister was born.
  
  Benny had an active childhood! He loved learning to ride his bike, and he thrived in elementary school as well. Sharing a room with Dorothy was not ideal, but it was nice having someone to chat with after the lights went out! Benny's favorite childhood memory was his mom and dad building a treehouse in the backyard of their new house!
  
  As they entered their adolescence, Benny discovered their love of comedy, mischief, and pranks. He decided his dream career is to become a stand-up comedian! His confidence and high self-esteem allowed him to be very outgoing at school, though not all students enjoyed his mischievous behavior. Though he spent tons of his time practicing comedy, he never lost sight of what was important. Benny worked so hard in school that they graduated early! Benny found romance with Casey Bell, who was actually their sister's prom date!
  
  Benny was thrilled to finally be able to join the entertainment career and pursue his dream of being a comedian. He proposed to his partner, Casey, on a date in Sulani, and they got married in a small ceremony with only Marina present. One day, he got a call from the president of Plumbob Pictures, who wanted to buy his comedy routine and film it for a TV special! Benny gained some fame, and he skyrocket to the top of the entertainment career!
  
  Thriving in his comedy career, Benny was loving being a Notable Newcomer in the celebrity circuit! Benny often missed having Dory around, so he called her frequently to check in. Favorite pastime as an adult? Being an uncle to Sebby, Stella, and Desiree.
  
  Unlike Casey, who in his late life regretted not having children of their own, Benjamin's joys in his final days were getting to see his nieces and nephews grow up and learn the world around them.
  
  Benjamin left this world not long after his husband. Just like his mother, his heart couldn't bear to go on without him.

  Carmen Barnes

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: she/her

  Biography: Carmen was born late in her mother's life, complete with Dory's fiery red hair. She was so born late in life, however, that her father had passed away before she even reached childhood. With such a big age gap between her and her elder brother, Sebastian, Carmen felt a bit isolated from her family.
  
  Like Beatriz, Carmen was close with Stella. She didn't have a lot in common with Bea other than the fact that they're close in age, so the two siblings didn't get along very well, despite Bea only trying to look out for her best interest.
  
  Carmen, being so young when she lost her parents, did not have many memories of her time living in Oasis Springs. To her, Copperdale was her childhood home.
  
  As an adult, she married a man named Julian. They decided not to have children. Instead, they lived out their lives living amongst friends in a small home in Windenburg.
  
  After a fulfilling life, Carmen passed away of old age.

  The two became close quickly, and when they became young adults, Benny proposed to Casey in front of a beautiful waterfall in Sulani, and they got married in a small, mostly private ceremony.
  
  Casey was content throughout life, he felt regret over not becoming a father. He was grateful to have his brother-in-law's littles ones fill their household as he grew older. Casey peacefully passed away of old age.

  Dakota Barnes

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: she/her

  Biography: [4TH GEN HEIR]
  
  From day one, Dakota was a daddy's girl. She would immediately cry if anyone held her, except for dad. Dakota had a good appetite as a baby, though she absolutely hated waking up for breakfast.
  
  Dakota had a lot of adjusting to do when her baby brother and sister showed up, though it didn't take long for her to start enjoying being a big sister.
  
  When she was a child, Dakota started to feel a resistance to the beach life. She didn't know where she wanted to be just yet, but she knew there was a lot more to explore outside of Sulani. Though she didn't love the sand in her toes, she appreciated the ability to spend lots of time outdoors.
  
  As a teen, Dakota loved getting into mischief and pulling pranks. She did her best to be a good student, but she couldn't help getting into trouble. When she wasn't at school or home causing mischief, she loved hanging out at the boba shop with friends. After getting stood up by her prom date, Dakota reached out to a cute boy named Reg she met at that very boba shop.
  
  She and Reg started a hot and heavy relationship. The chemistry was there, but Dakota wasn't necessarily looking to settle down with anyone yet. She wanted her freedom!
  
  Her desire to break free from her current life showed up in school, too, even to the point where her principal called Dallas and said that Dakota's behavior was becoming too much. The school determined Dakota qualified for early graduation due to her not being challenged enough, which was leading to her acting out.
  
  After having a rough time after leaving high school, Dallas gifted her a meditation cushion to try to give her daughter a way to regulate her emotions, and this sparked something new in Dakota. She loved the peace mindfulness was bringing her, and she decided it was time to moev out and maybe turn a new leaf.
  
  When she became a young adult, Dakota got her own apartment in San Myshuno! She had many attractive neighbors in her building, including a married man across the hall named Fred. The two got along very well, and Fred even laughed at Dakota's cringey jokes. He also seemed to always find reasons to show up at her door.
  
  Once she felt established in her apartment, Dakota began practicing and teaching yoga and meditation classes all around the city and beyond! Her body and mind were both getting incredibly strong, and Dakota felt amazing promoting "Keep Calm with Kota!"
  
  During one of her first public beach classes, a cute guy named Sean Frankly participated. The two exchanged numbers, went on a couple of dates, and eventually Dakota and Sean got intimate. Afterward, Sean became a different person, and came on way too strong. Dakota told him she needed space.
  
  After some time had passed, with Dakota thriving in her yoga practice and working hard in a new social media side gig, she began spending more time with Fred outside of the apartment building. She felt an attraction to him, but never made a move due to his marital status. However, one thing led to another, and before she knew what was happening, she and Fred were woohooing in her shower!
  
  Knowing this hookup was likely a mistake, Dakota told herself to keep some space between her and Fred. This would be harder than she expected though, because Dakota was now pregnant.
  
  Deciding to have he baby in secret, Dakota moved to Moonwood Mill, teaching meditation to some werewolves who definitely needed help controling their emotions (aka their rage)!
  
  Dakota gave birth to a daughter, Luna. She was enjoying her time being a single mom, but when Sean came back into her life, she had a feeling this was the real deal. After introducing her daughter to him, she realized the rest of her family needed to meet her, too. On Winterfest, she gave her family the gift of meeting Luna.
  
  Sean proposed to Dakota, and she quickly became pregnant after their wedding. Devastated at the sudden loss of her younger brother, Carter, Dakota was eager to move her family somewhere new, for a bit of a fresh start. They were lucky to find a beautiful modern farmhouse located right by her grandmother's old veterinary business.
  
  The household grew quickly, due to both the birth Aurora as well as Dylan moving in after their parents passed away.
  
  Dakota continued to thrive in life with her humor and love for the family surrounding her. Though she and Sean had their marriage troubles, the two always managed to come back to each other with love in their hearts.
  
  Dakota passed away not long after Sean, finding her final moments in the same spot in the house where Sean had found his.

  Dallas Romeo

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: she/her

  Biography: Dallas Romeo marched to the beat of her own drum. She didn't think anything (or anyone) would shake up her life, until she met Sebastian at the boba shop one day. They became fast friends, and to Dallas' delighted surprise, Sebby confessed that he felt something more for her, and that was that.
  
  The high school sweethearts stayed together during and after graduation. Dallas even took Sebby's little sister, Stella, under her wing to teach her how to better express her unique self.
  
  After a romantic encounter on a date to celebrate Sebby's birthday, Dallas became pregnant. She was nervous to tell Sebastian, but he was thrilled! Dory, Sebby's mom, was also thrilled. So thrilled, in fact, that she sold her business to help Dallas and Sebby afford their dream home.
  
  They chose Sulani for Dallas' career and for Sebby's lifelong love of the water.
  
  She gave birth to little Dakota, but struggled to bond with daughter at first, as Dakota gravitated more to her father. However, as Dakota got older, she began to bond more with Dallas. This bonding made Dallas want another baby.
  
  After some fertility struggles, Dallas and Sebastian were delighted (and a little terrified) to discover they were having TWINS! Dallas delivered two healthy babies, a boy and a girl named Carter and Dylan, respectively.
  
  Dallas decided to go back to work after he musical goals began to take a backseat to family life. She went into the education field, but quickly realized she didn't love it. Perhaps luckily for her, she was quickly let go due to lay offs.
  
  She spent her later years trying to enjoy life in Sulani with Dylan, though she missed her son and husband terribly. Dallas passed away of old age. Shortly after her passing, Dylan and Dakota sold off some family assets, and Dylan moved in with Dakota's family, leaving Sulani behind.

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: she/her

  Biography: [2ND GEN HEIR]
  
  Little Dorothy (Dory, for short), was a very happy baby! As an infant, she loved naps and playtime with mom. She also reached many milestones at an early age.
  
  Dorothy was a challenging toddler, but she was equally as cute! She was very independent. She never wanted to go to bed, and never wanted to stay in bed. The moment she learned how to talk, Dorothy learned that she also loved to sing, just like her dad!
  
  For Dorothy, being a kid was all about making friends and making memories! She got close to her Benny, and his support helped her thrive in both academics and her social life. Her favorite childhood memory is her first slumber party!
  
  The love of making friends didn't let up as Dorothy got a bit older. Not only does Dorothy want to make friends, she wants to be admired! Sometimes the desire to be loved by everyone gets the best of her, though. She even managed to get herself TWO prom dates, though one of them turned out to be more interested in her older brother! Late in her teen years, Dory adopted her grandfather's cat after he passed away, and it sparked inspiration for her possible career path.

She met a handsome stranger named Theo one day at the gym, and their instant connection was obvious! The two wed in Tartosa and had a beautiful honeymoon on Mt. Komorebi. Dory's love for animals grew, and on a whim, she decided to purchase a veterinary clinic in Brindleton Bay.

After opening, it didn't take long for the place to become busier than she could manage!
  
  After expanding her vet clinic, Dory felt fully at home as a working mom. Her job helped distract her from constantly worrying about her kids. Helicopter parent? Maybe, but Dory's heart was always in the right place!

Speaking of growing families, Dorothy stayed busy after the vet closed. She had not one, but TWO more children late in life.
  
  Dorothy passed away when her two youngest children were still very young. Stella looked after then for a short time, but soon to moved out to focus on her own growing family, meaning Beatriz and Carmen had to move to Copperdale to live with their Aunt Rae.

  Dylan Barnes

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: she/her

  Biography: Dylan grew up close with her twin brother, but figurately and literally! She and Carter shared a bedroom, and they always looked out for each other. Both Dylan and her brother looked up to Dakota, their cool older sister, but Dylan and Dakota didn't always spend a lot of time with each other.
  
  As a teen, Dylan found her aesthetic to be very different from the rest of her family. She loved showering herself in pinks and pastels. Dylan also took up the hobby of knitting, perfectly fitting her grandma-chic wardrobe.

  Pronouns: she/her

  Biography: Skye was the new girl in town, worried about making friends. She marched to the beat of her own drum, and feared that would turn people away. However, she quickly found her circle though, including a very beautiful girl named Aurora...
  
  The two girls instantly had chemistry, finding they shared a lot of interests. They both loved socializing, dancing, and dressing in bright colors! They began dating, and their feelings for each other grew quickly.
  
  Early into their young adulthood, Rory proposed to Skye at The Bluffs, and Skye of course said yes!
  
  Skye was excited to decorate the home that she and her wife bought, and it turned out so well that she decided to enter the home renovation field for her career. When she wasn't working long days at her gigs, she grew to love gardening and painting as well, when she had time for it.

  Stella Barnes

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: she/her

  Biography: Stella was a cautious baby. She was also an unhappy one! Not one to enjoy being held, Stella preferred being more independent. Bedtime? Not for Stella; she disliked that, too. Though she wasn't always content, she was always adorable to make up for it.
  
  Stella may have been a little more charming as a toddler, but she was still a very challenging kid! Just as when she was an infant, Stella still didn't like being in someone's arms, and still didn't like being in bed. Her joys came from playing with her dollhouse (modeled after the barn where her grandparents got married) and making a mess while she ate.
  
  Continuing the rebellious trend that has been in place since birth, Stella enjoyed causing a bit of mischief. She also discovered her love of art. Being creative was Stella's favorite way to pass the time. Stella knew that she always wanted to express herself in everything she did.
  
  Stella embraced the darkness, finding herself through gothic and punk fashion, music, and makeup. Her ever-changing sense of self started to find its form through the help of her brother's girlfriend, Dallas. Stella looked up to Dallas quite a bit, and Dallas was happy to help guide Stella through her emotional adolescence.
  
  As a young adult, Stella made the choice not to move out. Seeing her mother continue to pop out kids despite her advanced age made Stella realize that someone would need to be around for them when her parents were gone. It was a morbid thought, but Stella was no stranger to those.
  
  Helping raise her two young siblings turned out to be the practice Stella was going to need. She became pregnant from a one-time hookup with a man named Fletcher. Stella was equally nervous and excited! Her brother Sebby made sure to meet him and give him a piece of his mind.
  
  Fletcher's presence in the family's lives was short-lived. He didn't want to step up to the plate and be a father. Stella was devastated and fell into a bad place. In her darkest hour, she met a man named Nikolai who treated her kindly, and before she knew it, they eloped and moved into a small house together.
  
  Stella's life only became more complicated when her daughter, Karlie, was born. At this time in her life, her family was questioning her life choices. Sebby told her that he was worried about her. He could see her struggling as a new mom. Just as she was getting ready to put the pieces to her life together, one more blow hit: Nikolai died suddenly when he was still just an adult.
  
  Now, as a single mom, Stella knew she had to do whatever she could to help her daughter have a happy life. Motherhood slowly began to grow on Stella, and eventually had two more children with a man named Karl Bheeda. She and Karl fell in love with each other, but Stella had her walls up after losing Nikolai, so she kept Karl at a distance.

  Theo Morita

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: he/him

  Biography: Theo's life forever changed the day he went to the gym and met a young woman named Dorothy. Finding each other instantly easy to talk to, the pair formed a fast romance. Theo and Dory's bond grew deeper after she lost her mom, and it didn't take long for Theo to know for sure that he wanted to be there for Dory for the rest of their lives.
  
  Theo proposed at The Bluffs in front of a beautiful bonfire, the two wed in Tartosa, surrounded by friends and family.
  
  Having dreamed of owning his own restaurant, Theo was thrilled to move to Oasis Springs to start his apprenticeship at Garden of Olives, a stunning Italian-inspired restaurant in the upscale neighborhood of Skyward Palms. Shortly after finding out Dorothy was pregnant with their second baby, Theo realized he needed to go to rehab for his drinking problem, which began shortly into his culinary career.
  
  A catering event fiasco led to Theo leaving the restaurant business. Though it was a shocking and unexpected change, it helped him realize how he wanted to spend the next chapter of his life: as a writer. Inspired by his kids, Theo entered adulthood by self-publishing his first children's book.
  
  Theo passed away of old age, sadly before he could see his youngest children grow up.

  Tiffani Barnes

  Status: deceased

  Pronouns: they/them

  Biography: Tiffani reminded everyone of their grandmother, mostly due to their bright red hair. Having not known Dorothy, Tiffani would shrug off these comparisons. They were interested in living thier own life, without other people telling them what to do! This was apparent from the moment they were born, as Tiffani was a fussy infant.
  
  As a teen, Tiffani felt out-of-place and different. They were told it was just "middle child syndrome", but Tiffani felt like it was something else. They eventually realized that they were non-binary. Tiffani began using they/them pronouns, as that fit who they felt like inside. The family was supportive!
  
  Tiffani eventually moved to Willow Creek where they had three children, two daughters and a son. They passed away as an elder.
