Character Cast 4 – Joleigh’s Family
Not everyone is here yet. The Merriwethers have to put in an appearance along with some others of the Kelmann clan. Sooner or later they will be as they will show up in future stories.
Joleigh-Anna Kelmann—24, redheaded, blue eyes, daring, sometimes acts before she thinks,. David and Marsha’s niece—loves racing cars especially rally racing and drag. Like Thomi, is quick to help someone in need. Works with kids and with the elderly. Often looks after the girls so David and Marsha can have time together.

Lanette Grace Kelmann—24, red hair, blue eyes. Joleigh’s favorite cousin; the two look enough alike to be mistaken for one another at quick glance. She’s not as impetuous as Joleigh-Anna, but she’ll join in any scheme proposed by Joleigh or her brother Matt.
Matthew Jason Kelmann—Lanette’s older brother. The rebel of the family, but good hearted nevertheless. Impetuous probably understates his disposition, and he can be persuaded to take any dare at all.

Marsha Jeanne& David Gene Kelmann—parents of little Jaimee who has a serious heart condition, and close relatives of Joleigh-Anna Kelmann. Not only has Thomi championed funding for Jaimee’s medical bills, but she’s become their personal friend.

Marsha’s of medium height and build with brown-blonde hair and blue eyes. David is about 5’10″ with dark hair and hazel eyes.

Valorah Elaine Wray Woodworth—Irvy’s mom, Lloyd’s sister, and a friend of Izette and Irina. Also acquainted with Dee-Ann Van Kirk. Can be pretty snooty. She’s only about 4′ 10″, but not many mess with her. Except Lloyd upon occasion.
