Bowie Carver Fresh
Bowie Carver Fresh was born after his mother Rose Collins Fresh had a fling with an alien called Joe Carver. His mother wasn't the maternal kind of mother. A workaholic, Rose Collins Fresh often left Bowie on his own as she went back to work even when it wasn't work hours. Of course he wasn't left alone in the house. After Rose's engagement to Noe Behr failed, Minty Julep Fresh, her mother, moved in to take care of the baby.
Minty and Rose
And as thus, Bowie's closest relationship was forged with the eccentric Scientist. Minty, a natural mother, showered the baby with love, and as he grew, she encouraged and fed his desire to become an astronaut. She also encouraged him to establish a relationship with his father, Joe Carver.
Joe Carver
And it's by chance that he actually met his father, Joe Carver, and though Joe was just like Rose, a workaholic, who had little time to meet and get to know his son, Bowie at least, forged a bond with his sister Kayleigh.
Bowie and Kayleigh
After Minty passed away, and later her husband Taku, and Laurent Collins, Bowie was out of grandparents who cared for him. He spent countless hours alone in his room dreaming of the day when he would travel to Sixam and meet his family. He daydream about a homecoming fit for a king, where he would be showered with love once more like his grandma used to do.
His teen years were hard, but Bowie excelled at school and ignored his mother's romantic antics with different men by investing all his free time in building a space rocket to take him away from this world. Then during his senior year, Kayleigh, his half-sister, showed up at his house to celebrate his birthday, and though they'd been estranged for years, Bowie felt a bit more confident in his ability to socialize, and started to talk to her more often on the phone.
Bowie and Kayleigh
Kayleigh remained in Henford-on-Bagley in the house that his father left for her her and her older sister, and Bowie decided to remain with his mother in Willow Creek, but their friendship grew stronger in spite of the distance.
After college, Bowie got a job as an astronaut, and for the first time felt the need to settle down. Due to his difficult relationship with his mother, and the way she so casually dated so many people, Bowie knew what he wanted in someone. He just wanted someone to love him, and spend the rest of their lives with him. Unfortunately, most of the girls he met weren't really into a steady relationship.
But then he met Brianna Ito
Bowie and Briana
Just like his mother before him who met the love of her life, Kiyoshi Ito, at the Festival of the Lights, Bowie met Briana. The attraction was instant, and he thought she was the most attractive woman he'd ever met. Working up the courage to talk to her had been hard, but the moment she smiled at him, Bowie fell hard. He returned home from a short break at Mt. Komorebi bursting to tell Kayleigh and weirdly enough, his mother. Of course when Rose found out about the possibility of his son dating Kiyoshi's niece, she wasn't very happy about it. And even though Rose had never been much of a mother, and extremely neglectful when he was growing up, Bowie, still, wanted her approval. He bought a ring to present to Briana on their next date, but Rose quickly talked him out of it. She'd hired a Private Detective who had planted bugs in Briana's home, and found out that she already had three children, and was planning on using Bowie to cover the costs of the children's school fees. Heartbroken, Bowie sold the ring, and threw himself into planning the best wedding for his mother and her fiance Phoenix Arriaga.
Phoenix Arriaga
Some might think that Phoenix Arriaga was just Bowie's step father. He'd been there since Bowie turned into a teenager, and later on, through his first steps as a young adult. The two shared a bond that was at times, hard to explain. It was almost as if Phoenix was the father he never knew he needed. For certain, Phoenix loved Bowie as his own. And perhaps since he couldn't dote on his twins after the nasty divorce, he was, in his own way, making amends for that, through his parenting of Bowie. At the wedding, after Phoenix raised a glass to toast Bowie, he in turned told everyone how Phoenix was his father, the man who had shaped his views, and taught him that to love someone you don't have to share blood or dna.

After the wedding, Phoenix finally moved out of his parents's house, and moved away from Willow Creek for the first time since he was born. Moving to Oasis Spring seemed like a crazy move, but he managed to buy a modest house with the money he inherited from Minty, Joe and Laurent, and his mother and stepdad also contributed a portion of it, so he didn't have to rent a house.
Bowie and Rose
After he furnished the house, he threw a house party for two, inviting his mother over, and showing her all the pictures he'd collected through the years. Rose, feeling horrible, made a promise then that she would try her very best to be a better mom for however long she had left. And she kept her word.
Bowie and Luisa
And that's why Rose was the first to know when Bowie met Luisa. For the first time in the years since he'd broken it off with Briana, he felt as if he'd met the one. She was everything he wanted, and was clever to boot. For the next fifteen years, Luisa and Bowie raised a family of three, Greyson, Grisfils and Greycia. However, even though Bowie thought their lives were picture perfect, he soon found out that Luisa had a deep dark secret.

On their wedding day, she'd had cold feet. It wasn't just the regular case of jitters before the wedding, but she'd fallen hard for Phoenix's song Darrin. Their attraction had been instant after meeting at the wedding venue before the ceremony. Rusty, Rose's younger brother, who had been the photographer, had to talk Luisa out of leaving the venue.

However, fifteen years later, as Greyson aged into a teenager, Luisa cheated on Bowie with Darrin, and got pregnant. Bowie kicked her out of the house, and Darrin, fearful that Bowie would sell Rose's old house, where Darrin lived with his family, broke it off with Luisa.
Brokenhearted, Bowie threw himself into being the best single parent. He indulged his boys and little girl, and tried to let them win every argument. So it's not surprising that when Greyson and Grisfils were both scouted, whilst still in High School by a professional sports academy, Bowie allowed them to move out whilst still being teenagers.
Kayleigh and Bowie
His sister, Kayleigh, thought he was over indulging the children, but she couldn't deny that maybe Bowie's parenting style was better than hers. All three children were extremely closed to him, even after the eldest two had moved away.
Professionally, Bowie achieved new heights when he was charged with a mission to Sixam. He didnt' find his father's family, but met a few of his friends. Once he returned to Earth, he became a famous astronaut, and his house in Oasis Springs became a bit of a tourist attraction, even after his death.

Bowie lived a long life, managing to meet the first of his grandchildren, and see how well Grisfils and Greyson both did in his sport's career. He even go with Grisfils to an award ceremony where he was named Mr. Solar System, shortly after having done a stint at a Reality TV Show.
Bowie and Ruby
In the end, Bowie found love again, and built a home with and their triplets. He was survived by Ruby Fresh, their children Todd and Suzanna, Greyson and his wife, Chloe, and their son Phoenix, Grisfils and Greycia.
