the family tree

Because I may have forgotten to actually post this where I could easily reference it, so sue me. Below are listed the seven children of the Seelie King and Queen, in age order. As with their Unseelie counterparts, each embodies one of the Seven Heavenly Virtues, though none would recognize this terminology or acknowledge it. That's meta information, fool! ... Also no one has a personality because I can't brain that hard.

Ansic, eldest son and heir to the throne. Diligence.

Mór, the second son. Charity.

Easal, the third son. Chastity. This is his journal. You found him. Seelie are only born in the spring and fall (that's just How It Works), and he was born on March 20th, the first day of spring. While this was celebrated at the time, his first birthday happened to fall in a year where the first day of spring was March 21st. The scandal that a prince would have a birthday in winter never really left. Is it any wonder he acts the dutiful son and drinks a lot, when his father ignores his birthday all of the time? That said, he really is a good and loyal soldier. He just happened to befriend an Unseelie royal while on the field, and that relationship bloomed.

Anfaid, the eldest daughter and fourth child. Humility.

Cermait, fourth prince and fifth child. Patience.

Brigit, second princess and sixth child. Temperence.

Uaithne, the youngest daughter. Kindness.
