Hello. My name's Lincoln Loud. And I'm about to show you the countless stories of my life.

~Royal Woods, Michigan~

Royal Woods, Michigan; my hometown. It's not much to brutally honest, but I can't think of a better home than this small town in the Great Lakes State.

~A Particular Spot~

And speaking of homes, here's the house that I live in, along with my parents, 10 sisters, 4 pets, and a housemate.

*A series of pictures of the inhabitants appear, starting with...*

My parents; Lynn and Rita. My dad was finishing his college semester by the time he met my mom, the daughter of a soldier, who worked as a crossing guard at my elementary school. By the time they got married and found their ideal home, they had a total of 11 kids, with me, the only son, as the "monkey in the middle".

The eldest of us is Lori. She tends to be bossy and moody, and she has a bad temper. As such, she tends to come off as somewhat rude and condescending towards those not familiar with her; but, aside from that, she's friendly and kind. Being the oldest, she's also the most responsible when Mom and Dad aren't around.

Next, there's Leni. Despite being the second-oldest, she is quite ditzy and is very forgetful, absent-minded, and not that bright. And yet, our only housemate finds this adorable. More on that later.

Anyway, of the 10 sisters I have, the one sister that I probably have the best dynamic with is the third child, Luna, a total music lover. She is very happy, wild, caring, and easily the loudest sibling of the entire family; and that last part wasn't exaggerated, because she really emphasizes our family surname. What she likes most is singing, playing musical instruments, and being with her family, mainly me for some reason. There's a lot about Luna that I could talk about, but I don't want to get ahead of myself.

The fourth child in the family is Luan. She is a very goofy and fun-loving girl with an enthusiasm for comedy and making puns, though some of her material still needs work as it usually comes off as annoying than funny.

Whereas Luna is the one sister that I probably have the best dynamic with, the one sister that I undoubtedly struggle with all the time is the fifth child, who happens to be named after my dad. So, she's Lynn Loud Junior. Lynn is athletic and competitive. She loves to play sports and enjoys roughhousing with her siblings, especially me. She enjoys playing many different types of sports, including football, soccer, hockey, basketball, and baseball. She is also skilled in various forms of martial arts, such as kickboxing, Mexican wrestling (or lucha libre), and parkour. Lynn tends to turn everything into a competition. We consider this to be her most annoying habit. She is also shown to be very competitive and strives to be "number one" in every game she plays, even when winning isn't involved. Again, there's a lot I could say.

Being the middle sibling, there are times when I'm literally in the middle of scuffles between Lynn and the seventh child in the family, Lucy. Lucy is a gloomy, cynical, deadpan, and mysterious goth girl who is almost always seen with a stoic frown. She is interested in occultism, poetry, and the works of Gothic authors. She has an uncanny ability to seemingly teleport to different places, which often spooks the living daylights out of us, especially me. Some of us refer to her as a "spooky" girl. She frequently uses words to describe her actions, such as saying the word "Sigh" instead of actually sighing. Occasionally, she feels left out that nobody listens to her and everyone thinks she is weird (despite their obvious quirks), but that's not always the case. For me, I just wish she would stop jump-scaring us.

Next, we have the only twins in the family, Lana and Lola. Lana, the oldest twin (making her the eighth child), is a tomboy, contrasting with the girly personality of Lola, the youngest twin (making her the ninth child).
