Blake Marshall

In Chapter 10, if you decide to ask Rebecca and Blake how they envision their future, Rebecca says she has always dreamed of a big wedding with over 300 people in attendance. Blake, however, wants something more intimate with a smaller crowd, especially when Blake doesn't have a good relationship with his/her father. While Blake's desire of having no children, a small family, or a big family is determined by the player, Rebecca would like to eventually have a small family.

Your Character
