Short one today! Whatever.
And now I present to you the Third installment of D.A.Z. Heh heh. Funny anagrams. ^.^
Filler family
AKA: Um…..
Definition: a family member that have been mentioned in the canon (always gone father, great aunt, second cousin) and do not make very many appearances, if any at all.
They don't have much of a back story, and on the occasion they have to be actually present (protagonist is arrested, having a birthday party, attending graduation) they may be given a name, and very little air time or are give some commitment to why they are not there (a job, boyfriend, overseas). They are there and are not a force to the protagonist, and are usually flat characters. The point when filler family is given a made up backstory and history is when it is drifting into being slightly AU.
Until next time!
