These are chapters regarding character information. I know how hard it be to remember everyone when there are so many original characters introduced, so I made these interlude chapters so that if you readers feel confused about a character you can easily find information here. I am not good with descriptions so bear with me. (Kolya stop using "so" this much challenge).
As for the years I think current BSD story takes place in 2012 so everything is based on that. Children are from 23 years in the future so they come from 2035. They're Gen alpha :'(
Also I made aesthetics for every character but I don't know how to upload pictures on Ao3 yet so I'll edit this once I figure it out. I have to post this since you guys need information. If you have any questions my instagram is @ daily.fyolai
I FIGURED OUT THE AESTHETIC PROBLEM. I made a pinterest board and I'll put the links. You can press on top of the link and it should work (don't tap though, press. My dumb ass was tapping to open links this whole time)

Halide is an original character of mine. Her namesake Halide Edib Adıvar (11 June 1884 – 9 January 1964) was a Turkish novelist, teacher, and a nationalist and feminist intellectual.
She was best known for her novels criticizing the low social status of Turkish women and what she saw from her observation as the lack of interest of most women in changing their situation. She was a Pan-Turkist and several of her novels advocated for the Turanism movement.
Halide Edip also joined the Turkish War of Independence (Kurtuluş Savaşı) and despite serving as a civilian officer under Mustafa Kemal, she was promoted and considered a war hero.
Her novel Daughter of Smyrna (Ateşten Gömlek) is a love story that takes place in War of Independence. Story focuses on memoirs of Peyami, a soldier resting in the hospital, of a woman from Izmir (old name Smyrna). It is the first novel focusing on War of Independence in Turkish literature.
