Odin: What is your family like?
“Well…to start, my family is quite large. I have three children, eight grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren, and most recently one great-great-grandchild. These are, of course, all of the…living children. Some have sadly passed away, either from illness or from war.
To start, my children are a vengeful sort. Like to their mother, no doubt. And they have passed that trait to their children as well. And because of this, I was…quickly outcasted from the family after Caromont’s death. Every now and then, I would receive a letter from one of them recounting what has happened in the past year. I fear they must have felt remorse for me. I so desperately wished to get in contact with them, but every attempts to do so met at failure. Until recently, of course, when one of my grandchildren wished to have me return to Ishgard to meet their first grandchild; my great-great-granddaughter.
My first born is Josephine, she is the light of many lives. And she has saved many of them as well, being a chirurgeon. Next is Adrien, and, shortly after, Fleurgeant - both of whom had their eyes set on becoming Dragoons as soon as they heard they existed. Adrien was not able to make that dream come true, due to a war injury - and settled with breeding only the finest chocobos in Ishgard. However, Fleurgeant was able to be accepted as a Dragoon; and I am immensely proud of him and all of my children. My youngest two are Elvirelle and Etiennette, twins, both of whom have passed away. Etiennette died merely one winter into her life, due to complications with her health. Elvirelle lived much longer, but ultimately met her end facing a Dravanian horde.
To make it much easier for you to grasp, though…
Here is Josephine’s family. She is married to Elouan with three living children: Paschel, Oudette, and Agathana. You will notice that the longer the generations the more of the children that survive - with better living conditions as to what they used to be, it is only natural. Now, if you thought her family was large.
Here is Adrien’s family. His son, Elvire, contacted me about his daughter, Aurorie, having a daughter…which they have named Maximilienne - after me. Which…I do not get emotional easily, but…I can make an exception for something like this. Adrien’s other three children are Irisane, Esther, and Honorie.
Fleurgeant has the smallest family, but of course, the most close knit. Camilla was adopted into our family as Lothaire’s daughter. His two brother’s both passed away in the Coerthas Western Highlands, attempting to make names for themselves at the Convictory; I have heard that since then, Lothaire has been playing his life safely.
(Oh my goodness, thank you so much for the ask @eoghanedhel - Max’s family is huuuge, and he’s just now recently coming in contact with them after thirty years of being an outcast. He doesn’t know much about his family personally, as he’s never gotten to spend time with most of them. Yet. I was actually thinking about making an alt for either Lothaire or Honorie…*shrug* I’ve got too many alts as is so.)
