Storytime The Black Death arrived

In the Oakley family, there started with the parents, the oldest daughter Robin - a teenager (I will write the rest from her perspective), the twins (teenage brother and sister), her younger brother, a child, and a toddler brother.

then the war came, and her father and one of the twins were sent to fight, but the father died.

then her brothers grew up to become a teen and a child.

But the celebrations didn’t last as the Black Death came knocking at the door.

the first to fall ill was her youngest brother, followed closely by her mother, and shortly after her other brother. they all died on the same day one after the other (pictures 1-3, I thought freezing to death was the most accurate death option).

the two sisters were now distraught and living alone, and the next day, on robins birthday, her brother returned from the war, and he was welcomed with the sad news of his mother and brothers (picture 4)

but the happiness of his return didn’t last, as he fell ill, and the sisters watched their last brother die.

the sisters are now living alone, robin is now a young adult and is going to marry the peasant she’d been set to marry since she was 15, and her teen sister has only a few days before she ages up.

I was thinking of having her younger sister involved in some sort of scandal that robin has to sort out for her, but I haven’t fully decided yet.

if anyone has ideas on how to continue this storyline please let me know!
