History
Aristotle Niarchos is in his mid-to-late fourties, of medium height/build with dark hair and blue eyes inherited from his English mother. He is the head of the family shipping company, Niarchos Industries. He was born in Athens, Greece and traveled between there and London, England. He attended Oxford for buisness school and is well-versed in international buisness relations.
He currently lives with his second wife, Grace Greenwood-Niarchos, in a penthouse in Manhattan, with his four children from his second marriage.
His first marriage, to an English heiress, produced one son, Dorian. That marriage ended in divorce and shortly thereafter he met Penelope Stavros at a charity function. They had a brief affair which Ari ended. He was unaware that he had concieved a daughter with Penelope until the summer of 2006 when Jennie contacted him. He invited her to visit in Italy over the summer, and when she subsequently disapeared he helped in the search for her.
He keeps in regular contact with his daughter after her return from Europe, and often encourages her to spend the night when he is not away on business.
Jennie's stepmother Grace, and her step-grandmother, Patience, both do not approve of Jennie.
Penelope Stavros - Deceased. Was in her mid-fourties and of medium height and slightly pudgy, with brown hair and brown eyes. Daughter of Greek restaraunt owners on the Island of Santornini in Greece. An extremely talented dancer, she recieved a scholarship to attended Julliard in New York City. From there she danced with various troupes in New York City and toured extensively. The rigors of dancing professionally were too much for Penelope and she developed a substance abuse problem. It caused her family to cut off contact with her and ended her realtionship with Ari Niarchos.
When she discovered she was pregnant, she decided to keep the baby. Penelope accepted a job offer with a dance company in Las Vegas and took Jennie with her. A string of odd jobs followed, along with her worsening drug habit. When she was left by her last boyfriend, her substance abuse went off the deep end. She threw Jennie out after a particularly bad binge, when Jennie was just barely 15.
When Jennie's friend Julia was murdered, and Jennie was taken into custody by the FBI, Peneople was shocked into cleaning up her act. She was rewarded when Jennie sought out contact in the fall of 2005. They continued rebuilding their relationship until Penelope died suddenly of a stroke in late March of 2006.
Jennie also has maternal grandparents she keeps regular contact with. She does not speak with her Uncle Nikos, who openly disaproves of her.
Siblings-
Dorian Niarchos - Older half-brother from Ari Niarchos' first marriage. Runs the buisness in Athens and is something of a playboy.
Olivia Niarchos - Younger half-sister. Olivia adores her newfound older sister, as she was previously the only girl in the family. She tried to make Jennie stay longer when she was Italy.
Colin, Andrew and Marcus Niarchos - Younger half-brothers. Colin and Andrew do not like their new older sister. Marcus likes Jennie, but he is also five and likes anyone that feeds him.
Plots/Events
Mother - Jennie finally begins to speak with her mother, and over the winter of 2005/2006 rebuilds their strained relationship. But Penny suffered a stroke and died in late March, and was buried in the family mausoleum in Greece.
Bleeding - After asking Forge to find her father, whose identity was still unknown, Jennie discovered that her father was living in New York. She was accompanied to his building by Marius Laverne, and there they met Jennie's step-grandmother Patience. After a mistunderstanding, Ari made contact with Jennie and asked her to join him on vacation in Italy with the rest of his family. Which has no unforseen consequences at all.
