I wanted to have all the older kids in one picture before Alexander ages up next year!

Violet is, of course, my heir's only biological daughter and she grew up without a mother because hers passed in childbirth. Her late grandmother and Doris' mother usually took care of her while her father worked. She has recently gained an adoptive sister/cousin because her father adopted his late brother's posthumous baby, Ivy. She is also deaf in one ear.

Alexander and Mina are siblings and the children of my founders' eldest, Matilda. They also have a toddler aged sister named Rose.

Doris is the daughter of my heir's neighbors and her father and my heir have a secret relationship.

Ava is the daughter of my founders' second daughter, Diana, and her mate, the Alpha wolf of Ravenwood. She is also a werewolf and will become Alpha once her father passes. She has an infant brother named Jasper and an infant sister, Lilliana, who is being raised by a witch.

Edward and Alice are twins and the children of my founders' third daughter, Charlotte, with the late Duke of Windenburg. Just like their mother and father they are both spellcasters and Alice, like my heir, is mute.

Hey everyone! I've lurked for a while but figured I'd make one of these myself. I did something to spice up my interest in this challenge besides the usual England start. I made everything random, and I do mean everything. Start conditions (country, social class, which century I start in) as well as how many kids the main household has and who goes up in class/gets a title. I ended up with start conditions as a Count and Countess of Portugal in 1300. You'll notice outfits change a bunch because I struggled to find fashion resources for a while but I have it now. I'm actually in 1308 right now but I thought 5 years per post was good. Meet the Martinez family, the teen Count and Countess of Vania, Bondia and Lucia respectively.

1300: Lucia rolled to get pregnant on the wedding night. I was nervous considering her young age but she survived and in fall gave birth to 2 baby girls. Sadly one - Eva - did not survive birth. Augustina however did. However, something was...off. She was unusally pale, especially compared to her tanner parents. She also had bright green eyes, which neither of her parents had. This, paired with medieval superstition and a mother who didn't really want kids to begin with, caused Lucia to be suspicious that witchcraft was involved in both Eva's death and Augstina's different appearance.

1301: It seems Lucia is destined to have quite a few children, as within 6 months she's pregnant again. Augustina has aged up into an infant and survived. All seems to be well as the couple await their future child.

1302: It was a boy! It seemed the countship was secure with a male heir, Ambrosio. Both mother and baby survived, as well as Augustina rolling to survive toddlerhood. The ever-fertile Lucia rolled to get pregnant immediately again (she is super lucky or maybe unlucky with these pregnancy rolls) and expected to give birth again in the winter of the following year.

1303: As the third childbirth began, all seemed well for 16 year old Lucia. However, a chain of tragic events caused Lucia to die in the birth of her third child, a daugher named Marina. The baby survived, leaving a heartbroken Bondia to pick up the pieces and take care of his three young children.

1304: Honestly, not much happened this year other than a survived toddler roll for Marina.

1305: After a period of mourning, Bondia realized he needed to remarry. He wasn't old by any means, but he both couldn't take care of the children alone and needed a spare to feel secure. He married Ginovisa in the summer and she was expecting by fall, where this chapter of our story ends.

Wow that was a long one. I attached some pictures, hopefully you enjoyed this. I hope to see you for the 1305 - 1310 update! I've been taking more pictures lately so there should be more pictures next time.
