Fanon:Regan Capp (C.Syde)

Regan Capp is a well known resident in my player stories in The Sims 2 in Veronaville. She is the daughter to Consort and the late Contessa Capp, the wife to Cornwall Capp, the younger sister of Goneril Capp, the older sister to Kent and the late Cordelia Capp, the mother of Antonia Capp, and the auntie to Juliette, Hermia, Tybalt, Hal Capulet, Desdemona, Miranda and Ariel Capp and Magnus and Stacey Monty. Regan is voiced by Zoe Galvez and is 26 days from being an Elder.

To many players it is clear that at the start of the game Regan and Cornwall were not in love, and according to their Memories, they never have been. Because of this, some players believe that their Marriage was probably arranged. Judging by Cornwall's pre-set biography and aspiration, he probably only married Regan for her financial status and her family's power and job. Their family description says that Regan and Cornwall are preoccupied with their careers, though it is obvious that they are both unemployed at the start of the game.

However their pre-written suggestions clearly contradict the events in my gameplay. Regan and her husband and her brother had just moved into a cheap house in Veronaville, I moved them into a more expensive house - 267 Avon Avenue - once I increased their economic status with Motherlode. Regan and Cornwall quickly added romance to their Relationship. Roughly two thirds of autonomous interactions they did were romantic. Obviously they didn't care that their marriage had gone off to a poor start, and they certainly didn't care for their pre-written back-stories. Turns out they wanted to be romantic for the sake of their marriage.

Soon Regan's sworn enemy Bianca Monty joined the family by marrying Regan's brother Kent. For some reason when Bianca joined the family, Cornwall's relationship flags to Bianca were unset and reset, so he no longer held a grudge against her. Regan began to terrorize her now sister in-law - only stopping her violent behaviour after Kent firmly stood up to her. Cornwall who had lost interest in the feud ages ago, in favour of earning Simoleons, was not interested in backing Regan up. In spite of everything Regan and Bianca had been through, they eventually became good friends. For the first time since playing the Sims 2, Cornwall's request for Sex was rejected by Regan but she later agreed.

Regan and Cornwall gave birth to a daughter - Antonia Capp. She is a Pleasure Sim who works in the Culinary Career. Later that same day Bianca and Kent gave birth to their child, another daughter - Stacey Monty. Regan had signed up for a job in the Business Career as Senior Manager, but she became employed in the Political career as a State Assemblyperson instead. Regan also became nominated as a candidate for head of Veronaville. When she heard that she wasn't going to get the job, Regan asked if she could become Goneril's deputy. Her request was approved. Regan is currently rising through the ranks to becoming a Mayor.

Trivia

 * Goneril strongly disapproved of the newly established Capulet family and its connection to the Capp family. She attempted to publicly disown the Capulets, but was unsuccessful. Regan while not lavishing praise to Albany's new wife, stated that she never had a problem with calling Ella "family". Even though Regan was one of the Sims who opposed Goneril's attempts to disown the Capulets, their close sibling relationship did not suffer.
 * I have interpreted Regan as one of the "bad" characters in the Capp / Monty feud. When I picture was the feud was like during her childhood days, I see her and Goneril antagonizing Bianca and Antonio, and Consort disdaining Kent and Cordelia. Also Claudio antagonizing Kent and Cordelia, and Patrizio disdaining Bianca and Kent.
 * Despite being largely portrayed as a "bad" character, Regan has five nice points which I usually see as being the turning point to niceness. In my player stories, this may also explain why Regan finished up as a "good" character.
 * Trying to find a suitable hairstyle for Regan wasn't the easiest choice. But her default "halo" hairstyle had to go. I replaced it with a "barrette" hairstyle from the Apartment Life Expansion pack.
 * Regan currently has a want to flirt with Albany Capulet. I have no intention of fulfilling this want as it would risk ruining their relationships with their respective partners.
