Louise Evans

She solely ordered the Alderman of Aldersyde to take over the city’s management as a result of she obtained sick of the farmers and their limitless whinging.
Louise by no means wished to remain in Aldersyde, and should you ask her, it was all Charlie’s fault that she was even on this dung-smelling city to start with. To Louise, Charlie is spineless, ineffective, and a waste of area.
Louise is a (not so) shining determine of motherhood and kindness on the earth of Damaged Roads. And, relying in your decisions, you might get to debate the moralities of parenthood and what it means to be a ‘good mum or dad’.

In actuality, ‘Deadeye Mason’ as he’s referred to as by everybody else (and never for his marksmanship), is the butt of everybody’s jokes and is just alive as a result of nobody reckons he’s well worth the bullet. Alive or useless, Ian Mason is a waste of area, by means of and thru.
You need to use your Ethical Leaning on the Ethical Compass to intimidate him and talk about the that means of contracts and obligations with him, although it might be extra of a one-sided dialog.
