But that's not how the challenge works, so I need YOU, all the readers who've cheered me on, pointed out my mistakes and generally been amazing, supportive and inspiring to help me choose.
Below you will find a little bit on each candidate - if you already know who you want then head on down to the bottom and cast your vote.
If you think you know but aren't sure, read the below, sleep on it and check back for a chapter about the triplets and Gray's teenage escapades and Violet's first day as a Young Adult!
If you're not up to date/haven't started but think you might like to read in future (or maybe you just love to vote - I do!) then below you'll find a short, as spoiler-free as possible bio for each candidate along with a photograph and their traits etc!
In age order (I've listed middle names but they're known only by the first!)
-----------------------------------
Violet Annabelle Monroe
Traits: Grumpy, Virtuoso, Genius, Snob, Star Quality
Skills/Hobbies: Guitar, Blogging, Getting her own way
Lifetime Wish: Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous
Bio: The eldest of Hallie's five children Violet has always been a little demanding. From her toddler years as the apple of her parents' eye to the terrible teens, Violet knows what she wants and she's not afraid to work hard to get it! Underneath her diva exterior she's really a sweetheart, she always works hard to take care of her family and could really use somebody to take care of her known she's all grown up. Rumour has it she's still dating a college boy that she once snuck into the house as a "baby-sitter" but if you find proof then don't tell her dad!
Gray Sebastian Monroe
Age: 16
Traits: Absent Minded, Loner, Workaholic, Natural Cook
Skills/Hobbies: Cooking, reading books about cooking, avoiding awkward situations
Lifetime Wish: Celebrated Five Star Chef
Bio: Gray is the quiet one one of the Monroe clan, never happier than when he has his nose stuck in a big book of recipes. While he often finds being in such a full house overwhelming and shuts himself away he has a lot of time for his little sister Sienna. At school Gray is accidentally popular, his loner ways seem to have created an air of mystery which makes the girls go crazy. There's talk of voting him for Prom King but he wouldn't know, he'll be too busy analysing the seasoning on the buffet table - it'll take quite a girl to distract this workaholic from his chosen path.

Jet Alecto Monroe
Age: 13
Traits: Absent Minded, Loner, Loves the Heat, Equestrian
Skills/Hobbies: Being alone, riding, hanging with his imaginary friend
Lifetime Wish: tbc.
Bio: The oldest of the unexpected triplets by 23 minutes Jet is the child his parents worry most about. At 13 he still has a very involved relationship with his imaginary friend, Rocky, and finds it difficult to focus for long on anything else. Jet has recently taken up horse riding which he seems to be a natural at and is currently talking about breeding racehorses. His parents just hope this phase sticks as Rocky doesn't seem to appear much outside the house. Jet's best friend Raylee has a crush on him but he hasn't acted on it because Rocky is too jealous of her.

Sienna Rae Monroe
Age: 13
Traits: Good, Loves the Cold, Loves the Heat, Easily Impressed
Skills/Hobbies: Helping out, student council, ballet.
Lifetime Wish: tbc.
Bio: Sienna is the easy-going overachiever of the Monroe children. While she lacks Violet's natural intellect she works hard and is anxious to please. Sienna is competitive with her sister Saffron and often goes out of her way to beat her, especially in dance class where the pair battle out their differences. Sienna hasn't really decided what to do with her life yet, maybe she'll join the peace corps, or be a chef like her big brother Gray. Whatever she does choose Sienna is bound to be successful, her natural optimism and good intentions always seem to work their magic. Now if she could just find a way to get boys to notice her next to her crazy, noisy sister.....

Saffron Eliana Monroe
Age: 13
Traits: Clumsy, Virtuoso, Hot-headed, Eco Friendly
Skills/Hobbies: Drama club, causing drama, country music, saving the planet.
Lifetime Wish: tbc.
Bio: The baby of the family makes up for being the youngest (by 17 minutes) by being a drama queen. Saffron loves drama both on and off stage, she has a natural talent for acting and a natural way of causing a scene, both accidentally (if you trip on your shoe-lace you might as well shimmy back up!) and deliberately (ruffling Sienna's feathers is her specialty). Saffron throws herself at everything and has quite the temper when things don't go her way. Despite being a relentless flirt and fair-weather student she means well. Under all the drama there's still a little girl looking for a place to shine.

Still can't decide? Chapter 25 has extra info on all the kids - though the best way to know them is to read the generation from the start!
