In between the Capps and the Caesars, the Thebe family resided. The head of this household was most definitely Queen. She called the shots and lived up to her unusual first name. Her husband Eetion adored her, and was the first one to tell anyone that despite her confidence, she was truly a loving mother at heart. She also had a flair for the dramatic.



Queen and Eetion were actually younger than most of the other families in town. They married young, only a few years prior to their move to Veronaville. A somewhat distant relative of Queen's passed away soon after they were married, and Queen was happy to take in her teenage daughter, Andromache, as her own.

Andromache was extremely bright. She was homeschooled and really needed little time each day for schoolwork, leaving her free to help around the house and have a part-time job.



Andromache was gifted in music and dance, and spent hours practicing ballet and piano each day. Because she was homeschooled, she had plenty of time to practice. Eetion would sometimes come into her little studio and pretend that he knew how to dance as well, just to make her laugh. She had a part-time job with a dance company in the afternoons, and was already making plans for college.



The fact that they already had an adopted daughter didn't stop them from wanting to have a family of their own. The first order of business upon moving in was to attempt to put a bun in Queen's oven, a task that Eetion was more than happy to assist with, of course.



It wasn't long before it became apparent that Queen was pregnant, and before they knew it, it was time for the little one to make its appearance.



Left alone in the house that evening while Eetion and Andromache were at their respective jobs, Queen decided to try out a new spaghetti recipe she read about. She got distracted by what felt like a contraction, and the stove managed to catch on fire. Luckily the fire department responded quickly to the alarm and put it out, but the stress brought on full-blown labor in a hurry. The fireman took her to the hospital, and the family welcomed a baby boy...and a baby girl.



Andromache wasn't what you'd call the family sort, but she bonded to her new brother, Bernardo, and sister, Danielle. She enjoyed strolling with them around the property, singing to them and dancing while holding them in her arms. It always made them giggle.
