Meet, Aether. The number one reason why chaos happens in the house of Hearst. Mostly not a serious one, but still, he has the ability of getting his own siblings on their nerves.

Just as the whole family were informed that Momma was going to grow a tree in their backyard, everyone was busy talking about it; it seemed that they were too excited and that no other topic thrilled them as it did.

And so, Aether asked, “What happened?”

One of his siblings explained that they were going to have a tree, a big one. But then, Aether asked again, “Tree?”

“Yep, possibly a huge one.”

“You mean the whole trunk, the branches, and the leaves—all of it will be there, in our backyard?”

“Yes, Aether. One more question and I’ll kick you out of this house.”

That’s when the sibling battle begins. Don’t worry, it’s not any further than attacking one another with plushies. You can see that Aether is actually a big baby by seeing the name tag that was hung to one of it: AETHER DAECALUS HEARST.
  

  
MOST EXPRESSIVE AND JUST TALKS A LOT: Resembling the moon, it’s almost as if she’s a book character came to life. She trusts her family so much that she can open up about everything she has in mind.
  

  
Luna, also known as Luney at home, has a pretty packed schedule for a high-schooler like her. She is a part of the publisher team in her school, which made her deal with tabloids and pamphlets often.

Because of that, she got what they call a “publisher privilege” which is the opportunity to write something about her life and publish it on the tabloid. Hence, Luney chose to talk about her family’s teamwork, and their goal to build a treehouse.

The article ended up getting popular just within days. Of course, it’s Luney’s writings. Everyone started to ask her, “How does it feel to be a Hearst?” and she would answer, “It feels more than anything you could ever ask.”

It became bigger than that. The publisher team decided to visit the house of Hearst since then, with her as the reporter herself: LUNA EVENTIDE HEARST.
  

  
A HARDCOVER LOVER BOY, END OF DISCUSSION: His family members, even his own Momma, sometimes wonder whether or not his love for the family is sincere, because guess what? He goes out on a date. Every. Single. Day.
  

  
“We’re building a what, now? A treehouse? Brilliant. I could ask my boyfriend to come over every–“

“Nope, Darren,” Momma interrupts. “The answer’s no.”

Typically, Darren would put on some pouty face as soon as he hears that, but well, Momma’s answer actually makes sense. He’s got his little siblings at home, there’s no way he would become all lovey-dovey in front of them.

“Mom, I’ll be home at 9. Please don’t look for me! I’ll be a good boy!”

He was indeed barely at home, but everyone in the family knows that he’s such a good son. During the building process, since the girls weren’t strong enough to pick up the wood piles, he was willing to do all the job that sometimes he said, “Leave it all to me!”

And, knowing that he played a big role in building the treehouse, he engraved his name on one side of the wood to give himself some credit: DARREN BRISTLE HEARST.
  

  
THERE’S A WATERFALL OF IDEAS IN HER BRAIN: When the family needs a perfect solution to solve a problem, she’s the one that’s quick enough to raise her hand and says, “How about...”
  

  
Building a treehouse certainly needs prior discussion that requires every member of the family to participate—in order to achieve the perfect result in the end. Thus, the Hearsts were holding “family meeting night” to discuss what are things they want to put in the treehouse later.

As you might have guessed, the little ones were loudly suggesting to put their toy chest inside it, but the elder ones disagreed because to them, the huge amount of toys will just make a mess.

Glad we had Nilenia that night. She was the one to break the silence, “How about, each of us little ones—including me,” she pointed to her siblings, then to herself. “Bring one toy that is our most favorite, instead of taking them all?”

That’s just Nilenia in a nutshell. She always has solutions to problems, and endless creativity basically lives in her head. That’s also why you would hear her name being summoned often in the house of Hearst: NILENIA BELLAMY HEARST.
  

  
LITTLE BROTHER THAT DOESN’T ACT LIKE HIS AGE: Just like the character Finn the Human in Adventure Time, he loves to make up the story of his own adventure. His siblings would sit for hours to listen to him talking!
  

  
The treehouse is now open! Finally, after years of waiting, Hearst children were able to play and spend their leisure time on top of their treasured tree. Finny was one of the most thrilled to climb up and just do nothing there, because to him, life is all about adventures. (And sometimes the adventure itself is doing nothing)

For someone as young as Finny, it’s completely common to have limitless imagination. So whenever he had the chance to invite his friends over, he would definitely take them to the treehouse—to play anything!

They would roleplay as pirates, with the treehouse as their gigantic ship. Or, if they’re in the mood to study, the treehouse would become their second school. It could be their rocket or science lab, too.

“Our tree house is everything!” Finny would say. He always thank the elders in Hearst for building it for the family, that sometimes he would do it through letter, with his name on the customized wax seal: DAGFINN LEST-KARR HEARST.
  

  
ROOM FULL OF IMAGINARY FRIENDS: Try to enter Abbie’s room without being astounded! Her room is basically another world existing inside the house. It’s filled with dolls, plushies, and many more cute stuff.
  

  
Based on the previous page, you would know that the little children of Hearst love to collect toys and bring it wherever they go. Abbie is just one example.

The Hearsts were at the shopping mall that day. They need preparations to welcome the new month, and of course, their brand new treehouse. And so, they went to this giant, spacious grocery store.

“I heard they sell the latest edition of Barbie dolls in this store!” Abbie uttered.

One thing the Hearsts know for sure: if you heard that sentence specifically out of Abbie’s mouth, you must quickly pay attention to her next move. She could be gone from anyone’s sight in an instant and be found an hour later in the toys section—that her older siblings would wander about and call her full name: ABIGAIL LUNA HEARST.
  

  
EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE CALLS HER BABY: The youngest of all that loves to give company to her older siblings. No matter how old Catrice will be this year, she will always be Hearst’s baby.
  

  
Over time, it has become more and more regular to see the Hearsts spending their time on the treehouse. Catrice didn’t want to miss things out, so she would follow all her older siblings to climb up the tree.

“You okay there, Cat? Need a hand?” her older sibling would ask.

“I’m not a toddler anymore! Stop asking silly stuff.”

“Not a toddler, still a baby.”

Imagine this: Catrice was clearly struggling to climb up the ladder, but there were two of her older siblings—one waiting at the top, the other watching beneath her. Such great big sister and brother, aren’t they? That’s something you would witness in the backyard of the Hearsts.

Yay! She reached the top of the ladder. But oh, no, the clumsiness began to attack her. She put her foot on the wrong spot! She flinched and almost fell down, and that was when the entire house started to panic and shouted: CATRICE SEI HEARST.
