It might also be helpful to say whether each family member is dead or alive. Perhaps the color of the box for each member on the family tree indicates whether they're magical, non-magical, dead, or alive? For example, purple would mean magical and alive; green would be magical and dead; red would be non-magical and alive; and blue would be non-magical and dead (obviously these don't have to be the colors). Or do you think that'd be too confusing? If it is, then we should just have the non-magical and magical be indicated by different colors.

Should we put males on the family tree as well, for fathers and brothers? What happens to any males that are born into the family? Are they always non-magical, or do magical ones have their own covens?

@ paper sirens.
I totally forgot about the dead members. You should indicate that as well. I'm going to colour code it and put a key on too. And I would think that the witch covens would just be female so any males from their family would be nonmagical and the warlocks coven would have all females nonmagical.

@ castiel's vessel
Okay, that makes sense. I suppose I'll get started on mine. :)

@ castiel's vessel

Alright, I made a "mini" family tree, just showing Camilla's more immediate family. It was easier than trying to just write them down. If one of our lovely co-authors would like to replace one of the family members listed with their character, that's fine with me also. Anyway, here it is.

I thought I'd throw a warlock in there to add some variety. Let me know if you think I should change something.

@ paper sirens.
No that looks fine. As soon as the others get theirs in, I'll get the bigger family tree made.

@ castiel's vessel

I'm excited! Our witch coven is taking shape!

Any progress with your girls immediate family so that I can make the whole family tree?

Not really
I'm not sure if I'll get around to it tomorrow since I won't be home and I'll be helping with a Welcoming Home Troops project, but what I do know is that she will either be orphaned or have a human father, her mother being dead, and with no other siblings. I was thinking she is a direct relative to the top witch? Something along those lines. She is mostly alone immediate family wise which would be the reason she depends on the coven so much - she needs the assistance and help they could provide in helping control her emotions and powers.

Also, is anyone's characters named Acacia? I kind of want to change her name to that ::thinking:

@ oasis.
Alright, so I'll add her in as the grandchild of Eileen? So her mother was her daughter and is deceased while her father is human. No siblings and nope, I don't think anyone is called Acacia so I'll use that name in the family tree. It can always be changed if you rename her.

@ castiel's vessel
yup, basically. I don't think there's anything else to add.

@ oasis.
Do you want me to name the mother and father?

@ castiel's vessel
Sure! Thanks. I was thinking Luke something for the father, but other than that, I don't really mind.

@ castiel's vessel
If Eileen has a human(?) brother or sister one of their children's children or something would be Rowan. I think I want her to have the power of ice or something of the sort. Like if she were to become extremely upset the room would get cold.

@ She Said Poptarts
I think we discussed that all males in their family would be nonmagical so I'll do a brother who is Rowan's grandfather (I think that's right...) and that's a neat power. Sort of like element manipulation? Except it's just ice and it's in sync with her emotions. Would she be able to form ice physically?

@ oasis.
Alrighty, the father will be Luke.

I'll probably get the tree completed tomorrow. As there'll be other family members included, as well as other witches in the coven, if you lot have any name suggestions just pop them in this thread and I'll use them for the relatives otherwise I'll just name them so that it's all mapped out properly.

@ paper sirens.

@ oasis.
How old was Acacia supposed to be?

@ castiel's vessel
If she were to get really angry, then she'd be able to make ice by touch. She's just a few years older than her 25 year, so it'll be still wonky for her.

@ She Said Poptarts
That sounds like such a good power! What will be her power she got when she turned 25? And did you ever specify her age? I've put an age on the tree but I want to make sure I have everything right on it.

@ castiel's vessel
I think around 23 and maybe she turns 24 in the story. She's pretty young and naive, and thinks she's invincible. So I think 23 would be okay for her.

@ oasis.
@ She Said Poptarts
@ paper sirens.

Okay, so I'm pretty sure I included every relation talked about, every age, name, link and such. Some of the ages I did a really big guess that to match everything. If I've done anything wrong, please let me know.



Bigger version here.

@ castiel's vessel
Looks perfect! Can't wait to start writing for sure.
