Another fantastic picture from  Zubuzz

This time we have a rare picture of the whole Stanton clan, wrangled together for a family photo! From left to right, front to back, we have:


Montana Stanton

The eldest of the Stanton daughters, Montana, grew up with a sheriff for a mother and an aspiring lawgirl as a sister. At nineteen she struck out in her own direction, leaving Gold Springs and descending into a life of crime. Now a wanted and feared outlaw across the west, Montana knows there’s no going back. She lives her life through the bottom of a whiskey bottle, hopping from bank robberies to train heists, fearlessly chasing her next big score but knowing that one day her luck will run out, as it must for all outlaws. But that’s just the price of the hand she’s dealt herself. The only thing that truly terrifies her is the thought that one day she may have to cross paths with her family again, on opposite sides of the law.


Texas Stanton

Texas Stanton, fearless and dedicated sheriff of Gold Springs, is the middle child of the Stanton family, and followed firmly in her mother’s footsteps. When her mother retired from the sheriff position and moved away from Gold Springs to raise her third daughter, Texas was already a deputy, and stayed behind to eventually take up the mantle of sheriff. When she can find the time, Texas loves to visit her mother and younger sister on their ranch, finding nothing quite so relaxing as helping her mother wrangle horses, trying to understand the latest fashion fads her sister is talking about, and eating honeyed cornbread under a prairie sky. One day, when Gold Springs is a bit more peaceful, Texas hopes to go looking for her wayward sister Montana, though even she would admit she doesn’t exactly know what would happen if she found her.


Dakota Stanton

The youngest Stanton by a considerable margin, Dakota has no particular fondness for Gold Springs, the family having moved out of town when she was just 12 years old. She and her mother moved to a private ranch on the frontier, where Dakota has lived comfortably and been spoilt rotten ever since. The apple of her mother’s eye, Dakota has grown up to be just the most adorable little manipulative trickster, with most of the occupants of the local town utterly fooled by her saccharine smile and wrapped around her little finger. Vexingly for her though, she finds herself blighted by the same strong sense of morality and justice that runs throughout her family, and mostly uses her manipulative wiles to subtly expose any traveling con-artists or outlaws lying low… or just anyone she thinks deserves it. She is not above manipulating people to get what she wants however, and delights in tricking Texas into getting sat on by their mother whenever her older sister is visiting.


Carolina Stanton

Proud mother of the three Stanton sisters, Carolina Stanton was a legendary sheriff back in her day. The Amazonian weasel dedicated twenty-four years of her life to defending Gold Springs back in its heyday, with eighteen of those as sheriff. She arrested scores of sinister outlaws, single-handedly turned aside stampeding herds of cattle, shut down corrupt business empires (Most notably the Kensington Cattle Company), and kept her beloved town safe. But after her eldest daughter turned to a life of crime, Carolina just didn’t have it in her any more. With the prosperous mines of Gold Springs drying up, a young daughter to raise and the town becoming increasingly desolate and lawless, Carolina did what most of the residents of Gold Springs did: She packed up and left, buying herself a parcel of prairie grassland on the frontier and retiring to a quiet life of ranching and looking after her youngest daughter. For the past seven years she’s listened with pride for news of Texas’s exploits, sullenly ignored the increasing number of bounty posters for her eldest child, and slowly let herself go with copious amounts of good food and better drink. She takes pride in helping around her local town, raises some damn fine horses, and always looks forward to Texas’s visits… even if the weasel has a bad habit of ending up beneath her when she sits down.
