Shoh:
- Deeply in love & married to Wilcox- his wife [rarely ever referred to as husband]. Was once in love with Prov, but they are now good friends and visit prov pretty frequently. Very good friends with Warren, loves him <3.
- Can't read or write, Warren likes to read out poems to Shoh in exchange for the language lessons.
- Shoh's gender can't be put into one label: Shoh is a man but not. She is the night sky and it's bursting of light in darkness. He is the sudden recollection of an event; Shoh. (Why he chose name Shoh)
- 5'9".
- Born sometime in June (Ya’iishyaashchili). Wilcox picks a random June day each year to make Shoh a fancy meal, since Shoh is usually the one who cooks.
- Used to be assistant to the towns leather and horse equipment store, but now after moving in with Wilcox and not having to worry about a steady income, she weaves blankets like she used to before assimilation.
Wilcox:
- Married to Shoh, loves him, ci dlgona'áí, ci dlä ya "my moon, my night sky". Made the moon & star necklace for her as a marriage proposal gift.
- Used to be an absolute peice of dog crap but decided to have 1 empathy and be nice to Shoh. Wilcox is still kinda a jerk exclusively to provence, but he knows when to shut up and stop.
- Helping Warren relearn ndee language alongside Shoh. He likes it, reminds him of the very brief moments of love he had with his mother.
- Was nicknamed tsét'soyé (bear) by mother. First name is George but don't call him that unless you want to end up like his father George(dead)
- Small ranch owner in Show Low AZ, a handful of cows, horses, & sheep.
- 5'9" born August 8th
- Wilcox's extreme out of touchness with love is deeply embedded in his rape. He has always struggled with feelings of empathy, and while he understood that the situation with his mother, brother, and himself was bad- he didn't fully grasp until it happened to him. That he realized this is what she had to deal with for years and years. That this action is what brought him to life. That without it, in a better world, he would not be alive.
His who gives a fuck attitude was born after his mother's death, and the rape only set it further in stone.
And now buried inside the idea that he is not deserving of love, and he cannot change for the better- because his birth made it so.
Wilcox is what Provence would be if Kamala never entered his life.
Provence is what Wilcox would be if his brother was worth loving.
This is where a lot of there tension is, unknowingly.
