Ruewen

The Ruewen family lives at Havenfield. They help rehabilitate animals to get them ready to move to the Sanctuary. The Ruewens are close friends with the Vackers and related to the Dizznees, because Edaline Ruewen and Juline Dizznee are sisters. The Ruewens used to be pretty famous because of Grady's rare ability. Grady and Edaline were known to host extravagant parties and galas. Unfortunately, that all changed after the death of their daughter, when they started to avoid everybody from grief.

After the death of Jolie Ruewen, Grady and Edaline cut themselves off from the rest of society. Rumours quickly spread about them so they hardly went out into public. Grady quit his job for the Council. When Alden asked them to take in Sophie they agreed. However, they had a rough start because Grady and Edaline didn't want Sophie to end up like Jolie. Sophie often made impulsive choices that got her into trouble and sometimes danger. Her new parents had a hard time getting attached because they didn't want to lose her. They even went so far as cancelling her adoption (which they later changed).

After Sophie was kidnapped, they realized that they wanted Sophie as a daughter in their lives, and Sophie chose to live with them instead of the Vackers. The three became a happy family, and Sophie helped them heal a little from the death of Jolie. In fact, Sophie once thought that Grady and Edaline had adopted her because she reminded them of Jolie. Later Edaline told her that they loved Sophie because they loved her, and not because she reminded them of the daughter they had lost.
