Motherhood Profile: MC's Household (Patreon)

In Motherhood, the eclectic members of MC's household are the main conduit that players interact with the story through. They start off in state of transition due to a recent change in their lives, with some of their actions and preferences being altered by players choices.

Leslie Engelham (MC):

Loving, considerate, and responsible, Leslie's current self is a far cry from her youth. Knowing she was homosexual at a young age, Leslie wasn't afraid to seek out sexual encounters with other women. At the time, long lasting relationships weren't something she valued, much to her regret. Every time she remembers the long list of lovers cast aside for foolish reasons; Leslie is reminded of her internal promise to be a better version of herself.

The wild times are over... mostly. With a wife and two tenets to watch out for, Leslie has a full schedule. There isn't much room for casual relationships anymore, but girlfriends aren't out of the question. Leslie's wife keeps encouraging her to branch out and practically begged her to date a cute blonde they were acquainted with. While Leslie has been openly polyamorous since she came out of the closet a long time ago, some aspects stayed behind.

These hidden parts of her are only shown to those who Leslie deeply trusts. As an Abbess within the Lesbionic Church, she has a duty to bring others into the fold. Despite being wards of the Church, the two "Tenets of the Faith" Leslie has been entrusted with are hers to guide as she sees fit.

A very real threat exists in the form of the secular Sapphic Concordium. Leslie will do anything to keep her loved ones from falling prey to them. For now, she does her best to instill the values of the Lesbionic Church within herself, her household, and any other willing woman.

Gina Engelham (Wife):

The most supportive partner anyone could hope to have, Gina's perseverance landed her the woman no one else could get. She is a risk taker that is always open to new experiences and tirelessly labors to get a taste of all that life has to offer.

These experiences have left their mark on Gina. She pierced her nose and got her finger's tattooed when she married Leslie. Pierced her navel after the arrival of both tenets (with a gemstone representing each one). And uh, well ignore the scar, it was a bicycle accident (don't ask).

As for her religious side, Gina hasn't advanced nearly as far as her wife. Still at the rank of Mother Superior, she doesn't have the same drive as Leslie to advance. Regardless, she believes her home presents the best environment for the tenets to live in.

Life is always changing, and Gina is well aware changes are coming to all in the household sooner or later. She desires to be at the forefront with special consideration made to gain additional members. 

Morgana (Elder Tenet):

At first glance, Morgana is your typical teenager. She takes selfies, keeps up with ever changing trends, and is considerate of her reputation.

But on the inside, she craves direction and grows weary of the superficiality of modern life.

This desperation to break from the norm is unthinkable. What would her friends think? Her classmates?

A new side is breaching the calm surface. Were she not already called Morgana, Defiance would be a fitting name.

Teri (Younger Tenet):

In public, Teri has a smile that shines like the Sun, with a demeanor to match.

That general sweetness gains her many things. One of which is the perception that she would ever behave badly.

Which is fitting because Teri doesn't want to break the rules. She wants to make them.

Teri is dedicated to exploring many things, sexuality being at the top of her list. Possessing a flair for the dramatic, when the opportunity arises, she plans to test how far a lover would bend to please her.

Where do the Engelhams go from here? Find out when Motherhood releases later this year.

A massive thanks to Nine Of Swords who has been providing invaluable assistance as a consultant on Motherhood. Please check out their visual novel called Mythos.

In case anyone was wondering, this cooperation led to the inclusion of the character names Teri and Morgana. However there is a important disclaimer that this is NOT the "real" Teri's "origin story", since green is her opposing colour. She was super duper serious I made that clear.
