Silver Valley Orphans

Hi Everyone,

Hope you're all having a Top-Notch Thursday!  Today I'm sharing the story of another young Sim who was left an orphan due to the untimely accidental death of her mother. 

 AKSHARA’S STORY

Akshara was raised by her birth mother, Anaya and had never really known her father as he was somewhat a drifter in life and didn’t want to stay in one place for long.  Apparently, Akshara’s father left Anaya and his daughter when she was just a toddler to follow his dreams and never looked back.  Anaya did her best to raise Akshara and provide for all her needs by working as a botanist in a local exotic plant nursery.  One of Anaya’s jobs was to tend to the cow plants that were housed in a special room at the nursery.  Although Anaya was always careful when tending to these vicious plants, one of the cow plants grabbed her while she was tending to the plant.  Anaya fought hard to free herself but was no match for the extremely hungry plant who ate her up leaving Akshara alone to fend for herself, who by this time had recently started school.

In the days after her mother’s tragic death,  Akshara would spend a lot of time at the local animal shelter playing with the puppies and helping the shelter workers feed and clean the animal pens to earn a little cash for clothes and other things she would need while living at the orphanage until a new family could be found for her.  Thankfully Akshara didn’t have to wait longer for a new mother as the social workers were able to locate her mother’s younger sister, Jennifer who is a local police officer in the Detective career.  Jennifer was more than happy to adopt her niece and used the money she had been saving from her career and other jobs from over the years to build a cute farmhouse style home for he and Akshara to live in. 

While in grade school, Akshara wants to become a ‘Slumber Party Animal’ and because of her love for dogs, she wants to adopt one from the shelter.  Jennifer has made a deal with her daughter that if she earns an A in school then Akshara could get a dog.  As for Jennifer, she is pursuing her dream of becoming a ‘Computer Whiz’ while working as a detective.  As a lover of music, Jennifer is looking to have an any area in the family’s future basement hobby area for the various music instruments she wants to learn how to play.  Since Jennifer is a slob, Akshara is the one who generally picks up the clothes her new mother leaves on the floor and puts the dishes in the dishwasher, but she doesn't mind as she is thankful to have Jennifer as her new mother.  Akshara hopes that someday, Jennifer will meet and fall in love with  the right man and gain a new father. Meanwhile, Jennifer hopes that her ears will survive Akshara's 'LOUD' childhood and teenage years phase.

Here are some candid photos taken during Jennifer & Akshara's first week in their new Tartosa home.  These photos include special family moments like having  a water balloon fight  together on Summer Fun Day (one of the extra holidays I created, Jennifer getting a bite to eat, Jennifer playing on her laptop and on-the-job photos of Jennifer at the local police station.  There are also photos of Akshara meeting one of her new friends, Courtney Richards who had been adopted by Gavin Richards who lives in Oasis Springs.  At the end of the first week of Jennifer and Akshara's first week in their new home they had a visit from vampire Vladislaus Straud
