Hester and Anadil lived in the Gingerbread House.

They had triplets. The triplets were all girls, a little coven of their own, born a week after Sophie and Hort's twins.

The eldest was one with raven hair and flinty black eyes, resembling Hester, enormously. Her name was Leona, a shortened form of Leonora, named after Anadil and Hester's favourite teacher, which they believed Sophie had stolen the name of for her child, wrongly. Her middle name was Gertrude, named after Hester's loving mother. 

Leona, however didn't mind not being called Leonora, thinking the name long and monotone. Leonora was a crafty soul, that a "prissy Ever princess" might call mean. She was a keen debater and loved having arguments and winning them, and pranking the lives out of her fellow siblings. She also had a rather keen love of gothic, dark street art, enjoying graffitiing or doodling demons, skulls, monsters or anything hideous and spooky.

The middle one was named Dot. She was named after their best friend and the godmother of the triplets. Her middle name was Marian, as Dot, hearing a triplet had been named after her, insisted that the middle name be after her mother, Maid Marian. 

Dot resembled Anadil with her albino features and her love of rodents and patience and skill to train them. Dot or Dottie as she was called to avoid confusion was the scientist among them, enjoying dissecting frogs and cutting open worms, and making potions with her grandmother's old kit. A "lipstick-smoochy Ever" might call her a thief, or a fake, as she was an expert in forgery, accents and pickpocketing.

The youngest was named Ani Robyn, after a shortened form of Anadil herself, and a girl form of Robin Hood, the man who had been so kind to them. Ani was a mix between both Anadil and Hester. She was a lot like her fellow triplet Dottie, except she was more interested in poisonous plants, and plants that harmed, than animals. 

All the triplets, were very mean to one another, and there was an ongoing prank war.
