That could leave Nadette in an emotional corner where she drives everyone away, then commits suicide because she's alone . . . I've seen it happen.

I wasn't thinking of the members of the family looking different from each other; as you mentioned, that's pretty common even in biologically related families (and more so in families with adopted members, obviously).FreeFlier wrote:It would have to be pretty radical to be suspicious . . . I look so much like a friend that many people think we're brothers (and a few think we're the same person). I look much more like him than any of his brothers do.
But when you get the rest of the family together, you can see the relationships.
I was thinking more along the lines of humans who occasionally see the family over a long term, and noticing something such as Nadette looking like a tall blonde one time and a short red-head the next. Unless the Starr family restricts its activities to what would probably be an uncomfortable level, they'd have to associate with humans who would have to be kept in the dark about their true nature. Delivery men, business partners, restaurant staff, whatever. Even just a couple of family photos that show too much difference would at least make humans curious. So it would make sense to have a standard family appearance that they all take whenever doing family things that might be observed.
We've seen Nadette sleeping in human form. So either it doesn't take effort to keep that form, or else the effort is so habitual that it doesn't matter.Opus the Poet wrote:Why does everyone think that being in human form is of any problem to ursamorphs?
