The Shyr Twins

Meet the Shyr Twins, Ellarian (pronounced: el-air-e-n, which is my preference, or alternately el-la-ry-an) and Ellarain (pronounced: el-la-rain).

{Sorry, I can't remember specifics about their hair/makeup, clothes, skintone, or where the CC came from. To date, I haven't been keeping up with what came from where :( If anyone knows how to look this up from CAS, please let me know. The only things that I might be able to via CAS is skintone, eye contacts, and maybe makeup.}

These two are actually from another legacy town that I had going on, the Spades. I'll go more into the Spades another time, but the were originally named Acheri {Ellarian} and Boobrie {Ellarain} and were 4th generation Spades {I was able to take the original Spades to 9 gens before that game stopped wanting to load for me. I followed the entire family and created a genealogy chart as well as a list by generations, when I talk about the Spades at a later time, I'll go more into that}. Their parents were Cassanova Spade and Magdalena [Natori] Spade.  This is an excel sheet snapshot of Acheri's branch in the Spades:

Acheri had a daughter, two grandchildren, and three great grandchildren.

Boobrie's branch:

Boobrie had two daughters, one son, five grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren.

I kept note of the species/occult and rough estimate of the percentages for every single blood relation from the Spade founders.  Acheri and Boobrie were approximately 81.25%  human {hmm... looks I need to go recalculate as that shows an error}, 6.25% plantsim  (my reasoning is that the original plantsim is 50% plant and 50% human), and 12.5% fairy, but the dominant gene that they received was the fairy as they both inherited the white fairy wings from their great grandmother, Pandora [Siren] Spade.

{12/19/13 10:25PM how funny! I just learned that a Boobrie is a mythical creature - what can be termed as a Scottish Horror Bird. Had I known that maybe she would have had a different personality to start off with. Ah well.}


Anyway, that was a quick snapshot at their previous life.

So now onto their new life as Ellarian and Ellarain.  Their back-story starts here with Part 1:

~-~

Elidry and Eunice Straeth were a well-to-do and well-off couple, their wealth came from old money. They were a prominent family in their community; well-respected, not only for their opulence, but for their undulating charm and social influence. They lived in an impressive mansion in the northern end of Abbotsford at the foothills of the Abbotsford Mountains. The property had been in their family since the late 1800s and was one of the largest and lush in Abbotsford, with gorgeous landscaping and natural waterways.

The Straeths had four children, Edyrm, Elora and Elaith - girl and boy twins, and Evindal.  Edyrm only lived a few short days after birth as he died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrom (SIDS). Elora and Elaith were born a year later - they were the pride and joy of the Straeths. Because their hearts had never really healed from Edyrm's death, they coddled the two, so much so that the twins became rebellious and unruly.

The sheriff got to know them very well and the town loathed them for their tricks and pranks. It was suggested to the Straeths, on more than one occasion, that they send them off to a military boarding school. The Straeths ignored the advice and overlooked the twins antics and behavior, preferring to keep them as close as they could rather than sending them away.

Immediately after graduating from high school, Elaith ran off to joined the military, two years later he was killed in action as he served overseas. The Straeths were devastated, not one more so than his twin sister, Elora. While Elaith had been serving his country, she had been left behind. {During this time, the Straeths had another child, Edyrm, who later went on to became a fat, happy politician and eventually Governor. He gave Elidry and Eunice seven grandchildren - yes all their names began with the letter "E".}

Left to the mercy of their parents, Elora was subjected to innumerous social activities that kept her busy and out of trouble from sunset to sunrise, practically under lock and key. However, upon hearing of Elaith's death, she tried to commit suicide by downing a whole bottle of asimsprin. Her attempt was a failure, the asimsprin just caused her to vomit, gave her a headache and a nasty ulcer.

Her rebellion resurfaced from that point onward, she started smoking, got several tattoos and piercings, and hung out with the seediest degenerates that the town had to offer. One night, as she walked the tracks, drunk, she met a drifter named Arlen Shyr. They became instantly smitten with each other and it wasn't long before she ran away with him, subsequently breaking her parent's hearts.

The Straeths didn't hear a word from her, never knew of her whereabouts, didn't know if she was alive or dead for several years until a knock at the door woke them in the dead of a mid-winter night.

To be continued...

Sim-u-later!
