Grey Generation

Grisfils Bowie Fresh

Grisfils Bowie Fresh was born to Bowie and Luisa Fresh. He was the middle child, but unlike other middle children he never fitted that mold. Grisfils grew up outgoing and outspoken. He followed in the footsteps of his older brother Greyson, whom he idolized, and also became a professional basketball player. In turn, he also inspired his younger sister Greycia, to become a basketball player as well.

As a child, Grisfils was creative, and loved to sing and of course play basketball. He had a wide circle of friends, who are still good friends even now when they're all adults. 

But even though he had a lot of friends, Greyson and Greycia have always been his closest confidants. The Best Friend Forever spot is reserved for his father Bowie. 

Grisfils and Bowie

Even after Grisfils enrolled at the Basketball Academy to follow in the footsteps of Greyson, he and his father would talk every day, and Bowie would come for surprise visits, more often than other parents. Perhaps because he knew that he had to be there for his children, after Luisa cheated on him and abandoned the family home. 

Grisfils and Paris

Even though Bowie had had children before marrying Luisa, he'd never really taken care of those kids, except to pay for their expenses. But as his and Luisa's kids grew up, Grisfils gave him a reason to be closer to them. In turn, Grisfils and his half-siblings all became closer.  And it was his big sister Paris, who encouraged him to find a girlfriend, when Grisfils said he didn't believe in love, after all his mother had broken his father's heart.

Grisfils and Rochelle

Grisfils decided that he wanted to date someone that he knew well. He asked Rochelle out, and they went steady for a few weeks, until he met Olivia. Even though Rochelle was a sweet girl, he thought they knew each other way too well, and things were not passionate enough between them. 

Grisfils and Olivia

Grisfils dated Olivia for a while, even though he knew she was not the one. She was extremely beautiful and sexy, but Grisfils always found her to be slightly empty headed. Plus she and Grisfils best girl friend, Jasmine, hated each other. It was around this time that his dad got remarried. 

Bowie, Ruby and Grisfils who was the wedding photographer

After Bowie met Ruby and they hit it off, Bowie told Grisfils that he couldn't base his romantic relationships on the premise that they would all fail. Bowie admitted that perhaps Luisa had cheated because on his quest to dominate his career as an astronaut, he'd perhaps not been a very good husband or father. However, since he had reached all his goals, he could give a lot more attention to Ruby, and later to his children with Ruby, Suzanna and Todd. It was after the wedding that Bowie encouraged Grisfils to dump Olivia and date Grisfils roommate, his best girl friend, Jasmine. 

Grisfils and Jasmine

Jasmine had been best friends with Grisfils since they were toddlers in Oasis Springs. They'd bone gone to the Basketball Academy together, and once they turned professional, Jasmine moved in with Grisfils to Brindleton Bay where they both started their professional careers. Everything seemed to be going well, and as Greyson married his fiancee Chloe, Grisfils even bought a ring for Jasmine. 

Greyson and Chloe

At Greyson and Chloe's wedding, Grisfils began to practice how to propose to Jasmine. He was extremely excited and asked Greyson and Bowie for advice. He and Jasmine had welcomed a new roommate into the house, who had become extremely close to him and Jasmine, and Grisfils had even asked him for advice. Unbeknownst to Grisfils, Jasmine had a thing for the new roommate, and told Grisfils before she would end up cheating on him. Jasmine and Grisfils broke up, promising to remain friends, but when she was transferred to another basketball team, and moved out, Greyson and Greycia advise him to not stay in touch with her. 

Grisfils, Masami and Olivia

Grisfils went on a bender that made the news, and Greycia and Greyson along with their siblings and friends staged an intervention. They went together for a weekend away at Mt. Komorebi. Bowie and Ruby also joined in with the children, and managed to get Grisfils off the bender, by enjoying winter sports with him, and having quiet nights at the Onsen. It was at Mt. Komorebi that Grisfils met the mysterious Masami. He hit hard on Masami, but since he was brokenhearted, she resisted his advances and only exchanged numbers with him. That night, he ended up staying with Olivia in her room, but by morning he regretted the decision of getting back together with her. He threw a party a few days later, in order to see Masami, and Olivia got the drift and dumped him, knowing he was more interested in his new friend than rekindling their relationship. 

Bowie's last day

At the party, Bowie met Masami, and gave Grisfils his blessing to pursue a relationship with her, thinking he couldn't do worse than he'd done before. Bowie and Grisfils along with his siblings traveled to Henford on Bagley so Bowie could spend time with his beloved sister Kayleigh and then returned to the house, for one last pool party. A day later, Kayleigh and Bowie passed away within hours of each other. 

Grisfils and Masumi

Still unsure if he wanted to marry, or could even get married and live happily ever after, Grisfils organized a trip to Selvadorada, with his friends, and asked Masami to join them. Clearly smitten, he spent most of his time with the young art critic, ignoring his siblings and friends. And by the end of the trip, he decided to propose to Masumi, during their time in the jungle. 

Grisfils and Masumi's wedding

Grisfils and Masumi began planning the wedding, and quickly found out that they were expecting their first child. And you bet that Grisfils sang about it for days on ends. 

Grisfils and Masumi decided to stay in Brindleton Bay to raise the children in the house he'd bought with his first pay check. 

Amethyst, heiress of the Not So Berry Challenge, her hair will be plum once she ages up into a child. 

Amethyst Paris Fresh was born after Bowie's passing, leaving Grisfils devastated as she'd never been able to meet her granddad. Her middle name was in honour of Grisfils older sister Paris. Grisfils decided to make an effort and include Luisa, his mother, in more family gatherings even though Greyson and Greycia refused to talk to her. Things got worse, when Ruby passed away suddenly after Bowie's death, and Greycia made sure to get Suzanna and Todd back from Ruby's family, who'd adopted them. Greycia and her husband, Shaowen Topasna, decided to raise them themselves, in Oasis Spring at the old family house. Luisa never forgave her, for having a good relationship with Ruby.

Indigo Fresh

Luisa and Grisfils did manage to have a good relationship until her death, and she managed to meet and babysit Amethyst when she was a toddler. However, Grisfils, couldn't help her heal the relationships with Greyson and Greycia before her death. Something he'll always regret.

As for now, Grisfils has reached the pinnacle of his career as a basketball player, and has managed to max all aspirations in life. What's left now is to do his very best as a father of three. Like his father before him, he has three children who love him, and he's not going to take that for granted, which is probably why he insists, ever since he and Masumi's wedding, on having Movie Night. And now that they have three rambuctious toddlers running around, He makes sure that they also sit down with them and know the importance of Movie Night. It's how Grisfils keeps up with everyone in the family, and shows them the deep love he feels for them.
