The Meijer family earned their last name on account of Zechariah’s father. A mayor in Bohemia (today known as the Czech Republic), the patriarch of the family had high ambitions for his sons and stern expectations of his daughters.
Raised traditionally in what we might call Conservative Jewish today, most Meijers probably feel uncomfortable if they skip Shabbat – but beyond that, their level of observance is open. They had an English nanny, and so all speak comfortable English (perhaps even more so than their native Yiddish or Czech).
Currently, Zechariah has 2 older sisters, 1 elder brother (with Chaim, the brother, being 3rd born), 1 younger sister (born after Chaim, the 4th born), and 3 younger brothers.
Face claims are suggestions rather than set in stone – it is also possible there may be some bastards, known or unknown (of any race).

30. Being the firstborn son, he has had a lot of expectations to carry. No matter the reality, Chaim has (at least up until now) always managed to appear as though he has it together. Quietly idolized by Zechariah. Went to a Bohemian academy, possibly furthering education in Germany. May or may not be married.

Noah Meijer
28. Less ambitious than Zechariah and less suave than Chaim, Noah has that middle brother frustration of always being compared to the others. In comparison to him, Zechariah is presented as a goal to be striven for. Has Noah come to town to even the score? Bury the hatchet? Start anew only to disastrously realize half the rest of his family has already moved or vacationed there?
