Bunny likes have housemates. She's a good, friendly person, and she likes having people around. She also likes that their main relationship is with one another, and she can just watch them being in love.
Bunny has also adopted two new horses! The adult is Tallis and the foal is Kismet.
During most of Alice, Antoine, and Bunny's young adulthoods, I was just playing with ambitions. Alice is a sculptor, Antoine is a private detective, and Bunny, of course, is a horsewoman. The day before Bunny aged up into adulthood, Alice and Antoine got married. Bunny was a bridesmaid! My game went weirdly fuzzy at this point, but I like this picture because it shows their height difference. Alice is tiny because she didn't get enough to eat. Bunny's tall because she was, at least, well-fed, and also her grandfather, Silas, had the height slider set all the way up.
They had a destination wedding at the town civic centre, but I forgot to put an arch there so I had to have a private wedding, and they both changed into their winter clothes, and it just didn't look pretty, so now pictures. Bunny did get to hang out with her friend, Honey Darnell, who is a celebrity, and so Bunny is now a level 1 celebrity too. There are paparazzi that turn up at 2am.
Now that Bunny is alone in the house, the ghosts have come out. They're all still here, even though the game only acknowledges her relationship with Avery, and not with her other ancestors. Also, the photos they took at festivals and proms and things are blank, except for Bunny's.
Another reasons I'm lacking pictures - for instance, of Alice and Antoine's engagement - is because I spent 3 in-game days doing this. Those are all graves.
Specifically, they are the graves of the Locklear family. I used aging and pregnancy cheats to zoom them through their lives. Most died of old age. The twin brothers on that first image both drowned, and the brother and sister on the second image died in a fire. A few of them starved to death, in a famine. Yona Locklear, the last surviving member of this family, is Bunny's new housemate. I did consider turning her ranch into a shared house - we don't even use the upstairs - but decided against it. Also, I forgot to get any pictures of Bunny and Yona together.
This is the lack where Yona's 3x-Great Uncles drowned. There's an old legend that the twin brothers were in love with the same woman. She refused to choose between them, so they held a swimming contest. They swam across the lake through the night. At some point, in the dark, one brother slipped under the water, then the other, both refusing to give in.
(I pinched that legend from Christopher Pike).
After Yona died - of old age - Bunny took her remains back to her family graveyard.
While she's there, one ghost rises and speaks to her. "Please, take me with you," he asks. "I want to see more of the world. Please."
Bunny picks up his remains and takes him to the science centre (she got an Oh My Ghost! opportunity). They're able to give him something of a tangible form, and Bunny has another housemate!
This is Sequoyah Locklear. He was 25 when he died; Bunny is now 30. I just did a few calculations, and if we assume Yona was 70 when she died, and that her father and grandmother were both 25 when they had their children, and that Sequoyah is 7 years older than his younger sister, then he was born 127 years ago, 97 years before Bunny was born. He died 102 years ago, 72 years before Bunny was born.
Another bit of maths I did is that, considering this is a Chinese Zodiac challenge, and each child is born with the sign of the year after their parent, then each child must have been born when the respective parent was 13, 25, 37, 49, or 61. Yuriko, or Starlight herself, was getting on in years when she had Jake. She was in her late adulthood, and she died when Jake was a young adult, so I'd say she was 37. Haven was Jake's third child, and he was also in his late adulthood, so I'd say he was 49. Haven had her children fairly young, and Avery was her eldest, so I'd say she was 25. Avery had 11 children before Bunny and he was fairly into his late adulthood, but I'm torn between whether he was 37 or 49 when Bunny was born. I'm going with 37, based on the fact that Jenna, Bunny's mother, had not become an elder when Bunny was a young adult. Also, to be fair, he had his eldest child when he was 17 or 18
Bunny has a lot of friends, but, again, no close friends, apart from her horses. Who would listen to her story, of seeing her mother murder her father, of growing up in a lonely house full of ghosts? She told Alice some of it, because Alice had a similarly traumatic childhood (see Roburky's Alice and Kev), but Alice has been moving on. Bunny has left her hometown, left her mother, left behind everyone she knows, but she brought her ghosts with her.
Bunny's mourning Yona, and she's also having a bit of a midlife crisis (she's going to get a tattoo soon!). Sequoyah comforts her and gives her a bit of a pep-talk. He doesn't yet know all the details - this is his first day, and he's not yet met the other ghosts - but he can see that Bunny's sad and tries to comfort her.
Bunny likes him. That's one of the reasons why she's sad.
