She spent the first part of her adult life working various customer service jobs, but currently lives with debilitating migraines after a car accident in September of 2017.

She loves cats and has two of them that are brothers from the same litter: Sweeney and Smudge.
JayDee Ramsey - Best Man
JayDee was born in Roseville, California in 1988. He moved around a lot in his childhood, but spent most of it in Northern California. He moved to Idaho in 2014. He met Khayman through work; he initially thought Khayman hated him, because of terse communication through their work chat, but upon confronting Khayman to find out why he disliked him, Khayman assured him that that was not the case, and a beautiful friendship was born instead. JayDee enjoys photography and video games. Some of his favorite games include the Final Fantasy series, the Dark Souls games, the Devil May Cray series , and fighting games in general. He makes great mac and cheese.
Maxwell Blue - Man of Honor
Max was born in February of 1995. He was born and raised in the Treasure Valley. He and Viola met their Sophomore year of high school, and they initially hated each other because he was trying to steal her best friend. The friend ended up not being a great friend after all, and the two struck up their own friendship instead that lasted until their graduation. They lost touch for his first couple years of college while he went to Humboldt in California, but reconnected several years ago after he moved back to Idaho. He graduated from CWI in 2020 with an Associates in Art. He loves doing any and all forms of art, and hopes to eventually be a Museum Curator. He and Viola bond over their shared experience with debilitating migraines, and their wildly different personalities somehow being the perfect compliment to each other. He is a trans man and a huge activist in the LGBTQIA+ community. He plans to move with Khayman and Vi to Salem, but hopes one day to live in Chicago.

She enjoys doing art, especially painting, cooking, cosplay and watching anime.

He also enjoys Legos, drawing, and spending time with his big brother. He loves everything Marvel and DC, and his favorite colors are red, black, and blue.

She likes coloring, taking care of the chickens, singing and dancing, and playing dress up games, playing with her friends, and playing with toys. Her favorite color is pink, and her favorite TV show is Naruto. She wants to be a professional dancer when she grows up.
Smudge - Honorary Bridesman Kitty
Smudge was born under a shed in April of 2019. He was adopted by Viola in the summer of the same year. Named for the smudge pattern on his face, he is a grey tuxedo cat, who occasionally suffers from asthma attacks. His favorite past times are cuddling, drowning his toy meesies in his water dish, trying to shove his nose up your nose, and rolling around on the patio during supervised outside time. He is pure of heart and heavy of purr, and sleeps like the dead. He will be instant besties with anyone who offers belly rubs or chin scritches.
Sweeney - Honorary Bridesman Kitty
Sweeney was born under a shed in April of 2019. He was adopted by Viola the summer of the same year. He is a longhaired cat, with suspected Maine Coon and Ragdoll heritage. He is named after Sweeney Todd, as the fur around his face is wild and striped like the character's hair. He also would definitely be a serial killer who bakes people into pies if he were a human. His favorite past times are being a tragic waif for attention, playing fetch, stealing bread products off the kitchen counter, and mistaking the opening of any can for tuna fish and starting feeding frenzies. His best features are his stripy pantaloons and his excessively floofy peets, complete with teeny pink toe beans.
Kuzco - Honorary Groomsman Kitty
Kuzco is around five years old. A black cat, he was adopted by Khayman around the age of a year old from a friend of a friend. Named after the character from The Emperor's New Groove, he truly lives up to his name. He is very self-centered, rarely caring about anyone or anything besides himself and his favorite person in the whole world, Khayman. While being dumb as a box of rocks, he still somehow manages to be an excellent problem solver by applying himself to the problems he encounters for hours at a time until he figures out a work-around. He taught himself to open doors by literally throwing himself at the handles, but has since refined his method to using his paws. He can also open cupboards, drawers, and latches. He isn't a huge fan of his adopted brothers, and wishes he could have been an only child forever. His rare cuddle sessions tend to involve lots of drool, and occasionally he will hold onto a whole mouthful of spittle to deposit as an offering onto you at once. He enjoys playing fetch, eating plastic, harassing the other cats, walking around the house screaming at the top of his lungs, and chilling with Khayman.
