Trivia

 * Most of the people within the Schleicher family are actually very kind.
 * It makes makes sense since Amalia is the only true Schleicher.
 * Gustav was actually named after Hurricane Gustav.
 * The family's surname was going to be "Schneider" after the actress Maria Schneider but my phone gave me other suggestions for words, Schleichier just so happended to be was one of them and it gave me the random idea to create a french-german Gothic like family. Instead of a normal, French-Simian family as I was going to plan.
 * Germany and France are my two favorite countries and ironically, many German name/surnames have a dark origin.
 * I am still very angry that I never used the original Stillmans because they were honestly more interesting that this family. At least, they were in my head (they've been altered a bit since creation to focus more on the Schleichers a bit more than them)... I will forever regret deleting them and not using them.
