General HCs
🌳 The surname Artiza is derived from my lack of ability to properly spell “Aritza”, the Basque/Spanish surname meaning “oak tree”. Source for Aritza.
🌳 The family is mixed Pinatan and Greek. The Greek is from Mother, while the Pinatan is from Jardiniero.
🌳 Jardiniero gave the middle names to Seedos and Dastardos, while Mother gave the middle names to Storkos and Leafos.
🌳 The kids in the family use their middle names as their “mainland names”, for when they step off the island to visit other places.
🌳 The whole family (besides Mother) has PTSD, although Dastardos specifically has C-PTSD.

⛵ Yes, her maiden name has the initials “OAK”. It was a match made in heaven.
⛵ Okeanos translates to “ocean” in Greek. Ambrosine is a Greek name meaning “immortal”, which is ironic considering her untimely demise. Kymatistá translates to “waves” in Greek.
⛵ Okeanos, nicknames Kea by her crew, was a mainland sailor who met Jardiniero on a special delivery to Pinata Island one day. After that, she would start making regular trips to the island in order to see Jardiniero.
⛵ She ended up staying when Jardiniero suddenly proposed to her on her supposed “last trip” to the island, since he didn’t want to lose such an amazing woman.

⭐ Yes, the slouch does remove eight whole inches (or 20 whole centimeters) from xer height. Xe has scoliosis at this point, or something.
⭐ Dastardos is... fine with the name Stardos, but doesn't feel much attachment (if at all) to its past life, so if it doesn't immediately reply to that name then that's why.
⭐ Prodigio is the Spanish word for “prodigy”, since Dastardos was originally the prodigy child.
⭐ Dastardos, despite being Pester's right hand man, HATES Pester. The man half-killed them!

🌱 Seedos is autistic. I think you can already guess their special interest.
🌱 Otro is the Spanish word for “another”, since Seedos is another Jardiniero due to his spitting image of his father.
🌱 Their special interest is seeds! They also tends to stim with the texture of the seeds in their hands and on their nose.
🌱 If provoked, Seedos could go on about their special interest for the WHOLE day! It makes for a very unproductive day for the gardener who tried to start small talk, but it's still really nice to listen to how passionate Seedos is about seeds... well, if your name is Seedos, that is.
🌱 Seedos found out Dastardos was Stardos when he was only 16 years old and Dastardos was 23. Ever since then, the two have been incredibly close (but they also pick on each other a lot)!
🌱 While Seedos slightly prefers they/them, they're also okay with he/him since it doesn't induce any sort of weird feeling in them.
