The entire Elrod family was cursed by two minor chaos gods (the gods Kaylee killed) because they felt like it. The curse itself wasn't that bad but it pissed them off. Hence their somewhat dislike for gods
Their cult offered no explanation as to why they were worshipping them but the actual reason is bc they think the Elrod family will try and succeed in taking over the world.
This also shows how little the cult knows about them bc no one in the family actually wants power. They're very chill.
They're fully aware they can't take on normal gods and that if they killed one someone liked they would probably pay for it
They don't like drama of any kind so one of the first things any Elrod child learns is how to properly communicate to avoid drama.
They're a surprisingly peaceful family, most of the time, except for the teenage rebellion and special occasions
It's a family tradition to lay outside during thunderstorms. It was started by Wisteria and they all enjoy it
Anyone with Elrod blood will have some form of dark magic. It doesn't matter how closely related, and the magic type differs.
They're all good at gardening. One of their ancestors loved it and made sure her children knew who passed it down.
The family has no physical defining features
They're weirdly nice, example, they let a cult settle around them despite having no idea why they were there
They have a soft spot for weird looking things.
Everyone in the family has their own library
Butterflies are attracted to them
They have a recipe for bread that's been passed down through the generations and its the best bread
They're all scared of spiders. Yes, it has caused a need for a new house many times.
