Christmas has come and gone, and I’ve learnt about the character of their mother is and the lessons she teaches her children; humility, compassion, high morals.

We’ve learnt more about their personal lives; previously they were rich, but a misfortune to their family’s good nature and generosity - became poor. With each having to sacrifice something and learning the importance of it = unity and closeness

So far I’ve met the characters and learnt a little about their personas.
Ive also learnt a bit about the family and some of their troubles, particularly financially.

The family also presents as generous and giving to all, and compassionate.
