The Zamboni Family

You're all familiar with Zoe, now meet her family:

Frank
Husband and father of the Zamboni clan, and avid plant lover. Born in Italy, but having spent much of his childhood in Chicago, Frank moved north to Millburg to be closer to nature, and to start a flower shop. The rarer or weirder the plant, the better. Frank's shop looks more like a mad scientist ran amuck in a jungle than any store you've been to. personality-wise, Frank is the calm and snarky member of a house full of rambunctious ladies. He's also kind of a square.

Vivian
Wife and mother of the family. Vivian grew up on a farm up north, and has the comically thick Midwestern accent to prove it. Vivian is equal parts cook, homemaker, and handywoman, tackling any project that requires doing. Her work ethic make her a tough mother, and boss of her own landscaping business. Met Frank as a young woman, both of them being new in town at the time.

Nicole
(Special thanks to for the appearance and personality help)
Oldest daughter of Frank and Vivian, and big sister to Zoe. A rebel and slacker, with a personality best described as a slider bar between "grumpy" and "agitated." Though, prone to misbehavior, Nicole has little patience for her own little sister's hijinks. Quarrels and retaliation are common between the two siblings. She also has an artistic side, with sketching time providing rare moments of contentment.

Zoe
Rivaling Sir Steve as my main character for years, I don't think she needs a bio.
