Yesss, this will be fun. I can't wait for the tdm. And yeah I'm definitely going to try to recruit some kids to join their crazy family.
As for how long since her husband died, I was thinking something like 3-5 years ago. So why not split the difference and go with 4? It was in the line of duty, right? Did you have anything more specific in mind for that? Was he shot apprehending a criminal? Or were there suspicious circumstances around it?
I'm also updating her au history now so I'll stick that here when I'm done so you can look it over.
Actually, here it is:
-Middle class background, a good girl who was always getting good grades and was polite to her elders. -Married her sweetheart right out of high school, started a family right away. -Perfectly happy being a home maker. Doted on her children. -Husband was a police officer who died several years ago in the line of duty. -This left her with the responsibility of providing for her family. -She got a job teaching home ec at the high school, a subject she excels at. -Cherche is one of the nicest and toughest teachers all at the same time. She expects a lot out of her students. -She's also extremely active in the PTA and various local projects. Is there such a thing as cub scouts here because she would totally be a den mother? -Speaking of which she tends to bring trays of cookies or brownies to the police station a few times a week. Something she's been doing for years. -Meanwhile her oldest son became a police officer just like his father was and she could not be prouder of her baby. He will always be her baby no matter how old he gets. -But she still worries. You other officers are looking after him, right? -Even when she's angry she's always polite. Actually that polite smile when she's angry tends to be a little intimidating. -And she tends to aggressively mother people. -Even people who aren't her kids. -While she is an absolute expert with all kinds of domestic tasks, Cherche is bad with technology. Seriously she's one of those moms who asks her kids for help every time she uses facebook. Wait until she gets retrospec. -She also has a really weird sense of aesthetics. She thinks bugs and lizards are just adorable and she even collects things with gargoyles on them. Because aren't their smushy little angry faces just so cute~?
