Lili & Eternity - August 27th

- Lili took piano lessons from a nice woman named Victoria, whose spouse is one of Kate's coworkers in social services.

- Clare's parents divorced when she was a teenager due to infidelity on her mother's part, which is why Clare no longer talks to her mother. Her father unfortunately passed away shortly after Clare graduated college. However, Clare's stepmom, with whom she is friendly, is still alive. She travels around a lot having the adventures she never got to have in her youth, so the Wibberlys don't see her much, but she always brings fun stories when she does show up, and Emma especially finds her fun. Also, she gave all her grandkids leather jackets and while Michael will never wear his, the girls dig them.

- Richard's parents were nice enough but boring people who have never known anything about the magic their relatives were involved with and Dr. Pym kept this secret by telling them that their family died in a home invasion when that Christmas Eve went down. By the time the Wibberlys are reunited, Richard's parents are in an elder community and the Wibberlys are now tasked with figuring out if and how they should approach them and deal with the situation.

- Michael gets car-sick the easiest out of the Wibberly siblings. 

- Lili uses magic to put fitted sheets on her bed because they're so damn annoying to do by hand. Eternity, who has once ripped a fitted sheet while trying to put it on her bed, is delighted by the way her gf does things.

- Wilamena LOVES surprise parties.

- Abigail has been evading taxes successfully for pretty much her entire life. This woman lived through the most famous non magical gangster of all time, Al Capone, getting busted for tax evasion, and decided to continue to screw over the IRS. She's an insane genius.

- Favorite Movies! Kate's favorite movie is Knives Out, Michael's favorite movie is Wall-E (he claims because of the animation style and robots but really he's a sucker for a love story), Emma's favorite is a tie between Terminator and Charlie's Angels, Gabriel's favorite is E.T., Rafe's favorite is The Silence Of The Lambs, and Wilamena's favorite movie is either Tangled (because princess) or Clueless (because rom-com). 

- Lili's favorite movie is Jennifer's Body, Jake's is Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Abby's is  Raya and the Last Dragon, and Eternity's is Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

- Eternity adores musicals and frequently memorizes and sings songs from them. Especially when she's in the shower.

- Emma has ADHD but doesn't get diagnosed until her late teens because shitty orphanage care. Gabriel never got diagnosed but also has ADHD and teaches her coping mechanisms. This is one of the reasons why they understand each other so well.

- Rafe and the savages encountered other gangs during their years operating from the Bowery. Some they managed to stay clear of or have truces with, others they hated and Jake and Beetles had to be rescued from before they got killed.
