-Background-History:
Brenda is originally from Wisconsin, and was a dairy farmer, until her parents divorced and she moved out to Oregon with her mom. She was an only child, and always had dreams of having multiple children. They came to Xander’s Cross when she was sixteen, and it was there she met fellow werewolf Ralf Anderson. The two had danced around each other until her senior year of highschool until they finally started dating, and the rest was history.
They had their first set of twins a year after they married, and Brenda was 20 at the time. Jason and Tucker, better known as Jace and Tuck, were quite the handful, but Brenda wouldn’t have it any other way. They were your typical middle class family. Brenda was a stay at home mom while Ralf worked at his family’s hardware store. Brenda helped out when she could.
When the twins were eight, Brenda found she was pregnant again, with you can guess, Twins. {i]Again.[/i] This time however, Brenda had hopes on girls. Ralf and her waited to see until the twins were born to see what they were having, and when her youngest son Louis came out, she was sure he would have a little brother. Only, Brenda finally got the little girl she wanted, and the youngest Anderson had arrived with a good set of lungs on her.
With their little pack complete, the second set of twins grew up a little less rowdy than their older brothers. Louis was far more quiet then his siblings, and his sister was giving her big brothers a run for their money.
As they all grew, eventually the started leaving the nest. It was a hard time for Brenda when Jace and Tuck left home, but they needed to spread their wings, and soon Louis and Paige did as well. The boys all stayed local save for college, but Paige did something a mother never wanted to see their child do, which was sign up to go to a war zone. Brenda is proud of her daughter and what she’s done for this country, but the phone calls of Paige being severely injured more than once have taken several years off her life. She is unaware of the severity of trauma her daughter as experienced, or what that trauma has done to her. Brenda is just happy that Paige is home for the time being and that she gets to spend time with her again.
