Delevoye Clan

[ChaoticallyCheshire 637]

Delevoye

Del-a-voye

 

 

The Delevoye’s are a large mali’ker family and are all from one direct line. The fun-loving family is a matriarchy and rather close-knit, having family dinners often and living under one roof. Their history is long, intricate and sometimes devastating but you’d never see that upon first glance of a member.

 

Trying to make a Delevoye go against their family is nearly impossible and has only been done once, to which such failed. This household depends on one another heavily, like wolves, they thrive when with their pack. Common traits for this Clan would be sarcasm, perseverance, determination, creativity, loyalty and curiosity.

 

 

 

Faith

         


Faith within the Delevoye clan is very important.

They all follow the ancestral religion and are sometimes given lessons by their Matriarch, Arabella.

 

Within their home would be a room dedicated to their deceased loved ones, dimly lit shrines lining the walls of the narrow room. Once a day they burn incense in said room and pay their respects to their ancestors.

If one were to seek out priesthood in the clan, they’d be making everyone proud.

 

 

 

History

       


It all started with Kalvo Delevoye, a young ‘ker male who was unhappy with the lifestyle he had been raised with. Growing up he could take useless, rather unfortunate looking things and turn them into something grand. He loved to experiment with red stone and at the ripe age of fifty opened up a market stall to sell his trinkets. His family laughed at his dumb ambitions and left him, deciding he was not a true family member for his dreams. One day while manning his booth he met the most beautiful and soft-spoken Mali’ker woman he had ever set his eyes on.

 

She was enamored with his craftsmenship and soon they married. Freya and Kalvo had two sons, Archontas and Ethir. Ethir went off to deceive people and spun webs of lies like no other, he was a disappointment to his family. Archontas though, the eldest of the two, kept up the family traditions and took up tinkering as well. While Ethir went off to have a child all to force the mother to leave them both, Archontas was flourishing with his business. His business sold interesting trinkets and paintings, and just like his father, he fell in love with a customer. They soon married but struggled with their marriage and conceiving.

 

Ten years into their marriage he began an affair with a tailor named Iangeth. This continued for two years until Kalvo found out and demanded his son end his infidelity. Archontas quickly called it off and worked hard to repair his marriage. Unbeknownst to him, Iangeth ended up having a child, his son, and raised him on her own. Kalvo knew of such a secret and financially helped her raise the boy. Six years later Archontas and Lily had Arabella, their only child.

 

Lily ended up having postpartum depression and left Arabella to be raised by their servants, only speaking to her daughter when she needed to be reprimanded or reminded of her duties as a lady. Kalvo and Freya visited Archontas often and would usually bring young Arabella a gift or two with each visit. When Arabella was forty, tragedy struck as Archontas died of an unknown condition, having died in his sleep.

 

Lily spent their remaining money rather quickly and decided to arrange a marriage for Arabella that would help with their newfound struggle. The marriage was never one of love, a miserable life enveloped Arabella in severe depression. Years later she finally was pregnant with her husbands child, but ended up miscarrying four months in. The abuse became intolerable, so Ara ran off to the village one day and later that night poisoned her husband. She took all his money and jewels, running off into the night with her mother.

 

They lived peacefully in a nice sized cottage for around two decades before her mother passed, causing Arabella to leave her happy bubble and go off into the world. Arabella ended up having a daughter not long after leaving the cottage. The father of her child was insane and therefore cut out of her life, for the first few years at least. Luna Delevoye endured a tough upbringing filled with struggle but found solace in her family and doll making. The other family members soon came after.
