In the time of chimpanzees...

It is worldbuilding wednesday again!

And because of that I am sort of continuing this “family”theme, I’ve started with Eharon and his parents. This time it’s Yen’s turn, who values her family very much. She got a good relationship to her parents, even though she disagrees with many of their more traditional and conservative opinions. She also has a little brother, for whom she cares, but they never become that close, maybe also because of the age gap. (When he is born, Yen is already 13 years old)
But the one person who sticks with her and she with him almost throughout the whole story, is her adoptive brother Amad. He is the son of good friends of her parents who unfortunately died during a fire that has been started by rebels. So Yen’s parents took him in and raised him instead. He is about the same age as Yen, but she always refers to him as her big brother, because he always stays one head higher than her.
When Amad’s parents died he was pretty traumatized and didn’t speak one word for many months, Yen was the first one to make him laugh after this incident again, and managed to lure him out of his shell. She was always more outgoing and extroverted than Amad, but her positive and energetic attitude began to rub off on him and soon they were inseperable.

A major plot in the story is the rise of a huge corporation that gains a lot more influence with each new chapter, for example in scientific research, politics, economics and warfare and which weakens Yen’s country immensly just so they can progress. No matter the losses on the side of the inhabitants.
When Yen and Amad are introduced in the story, they are anonymously rebelling and fighting against this corporation, and each of them later one takes a different path to help those people who have been victims of this corporation. Amad becomes a military surgeon, Yen a soldier.

Those two mean a lot to each other and wouldn’t hesitate one second to help the other sibling. Even if they are not siblings by blood, they became brother and sister by always being there for each other, by always standing behind each other. They can rely on each other blindly, even if their opinions and strategies sometimes clash and they not always see eye to eye. - They stick together, no matter what.
