Explore the Game Challenge: Takano Family
Hello! This is my first time doing one of these, so I'm pretty excited~
There's a lot of content in the game's expansion packs that I've never really explored all the way, so right now I'm on a mission to do just that. I want to try out all the jobs/careers, max all the skills and complete their challenges, complete all the LTWs, and try out all the supernatural states that I haven't yet. I call it a challenge because of that, but I have aging off and age them up when I please, and other things like that which would break the rules of traditional challenges. Honestly right now I'm stuck at home recovering from something for a significant period of time, so I just want to do something fun and not too difficult.
Here are my founders:
Miyo (yes based on the character from Higurashi if you're familiar)

Miyo's lifetime wish is Scientific Specialist and Elsa's is The Fairy Tale Finder. Miyo is a supernatural fan, bookworm, genius, childish, and charismatic. Elsa is a workaholic, shy, animal lover, childish, and ambitious.
Both of them rolled wishes pretty early on to have a child, but while Miyo was establishing her career, it seemed a little soon. However, being a genius, Miyo moved up the career ladder in no time. Meanwhile, Elsa was working on expanding her skillset. She maxed her skills in cooking, fishing, writing, handiness, sculpting, and more before deciding it was time to slow down for a bit and have a child. (Actually, I hoped for triplets.)
Miyo became pregnant, and soon gave birth to not one, not two, not even three, but four children! Thank goodness she had established her career first so they could afford to care for all these babies! Their names are Annabelle (girl, human), Benny (boy, human), Carissa (girl, fairy), and Dusk (boy, fairy).

From left to right: Miyo, Carissa, Annabelle, Dusk, Benny, Elsa.
With two parents who love to learn, the kids were spoiled with xylophones, peg boxes, toy ovens as they got older, after school activities, and always having homework help from one of their moms. As teens, they were taught to drive right away, and they had plenty of opportunities to explore any skill that caught their eye.

Finding one's identity as a teenager is hard, and that's even more true in a big family such as this. As the oldest -- even though they're technically all the same age, really -- Annabelle finds herself the responsible one of her siblings. Benny takes after Miyo's intellect and tries to live up to that. Carissa is still trying to figure out who exactly she is and figure out how to establish a unique identity in such a big family. Dusk feels overall content with things, though perhaps the reason he has veered toward more physical activities is due to feeling he'll never be able to beat Benny in smarts. So far, Carissa has established a LTW of The Perfect Garden and Dusk's is Presenting the Perfect Private Aquarium.

At prom, Dusk developed a crush on Paker Langerak, who he later asked out. The two of them are now in a relationship. Meanwhile, VJ Alvi has been sending Annabelle quite a few love letters. Will she see his behavior (traits include snob, inappropriate, and evil) and steer clear, or will she fall into the "fix a bad boy" trap?
