Just wondering if their are any common patterns in how kids react to family trauma. Like middle kids being peacemakers, older kids being protective, etc. Or if that's more of a thing in famolies with 2-3 kids.

NAYRT, but...

As someone from a big family on my Mom's side, it really is a combination of birth order and personality.

For example in my Mom's direct family:

My Mom's the oldest. In a crisis, she's the planner and peacemaker. Whenever two or more of the other siblings are fighting, she becomes King Solomon.

My uncle who's second oldest is the joke/prankster. He'll be trying to jolly everyone up and drive them up a wall. Though in private, he'll go drown himself in alcohol.

My uncle who's third oldest is a very lonerish, outdoorsy type (he moved to Alaska a few years ago). He's the black sheep of the family. He's sensitive and doesn't react well to trauma, so he goes out of his way to avoid it.

My aunt who's second youngest is a spitfire. She's the one who goes in, guns blazing. She's the crusader who gets things done.

My youngest aunt is the baby of the family by more than a decade, so the family tries not to drag her into things if they can help it. She is very loving and giving, but also has a stubborn streak.

So honestly, I'd develop the characters' personalities first, then go from there.

As for a fictional example, the Weasley family in "Harry Potter" always rang true for me. Again, each one has a different personality, and that informs their decisions/reactions more than anything else.

Thank you so much for this, it's really helpful.

Also, your family sounds cool. I've always wanted to be part of a big family. (Although I'm sorry to hear about your Uncle and alcohol.)
